00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:07That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:33Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:38You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:44Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son. But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:21You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:52What's going on?
00:01:57What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh!
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:14Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:24Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:26Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:30I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:34I saw Preston was there.
00:02:37I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you.
00:02:44And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:48Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:50But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:03:05Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:07He doesn't listen.
00:03:08Daniel, please.
00:03:10I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Fanity Fair shoot.
00:03:17I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick.
00:03:20This isn't easy, but I know...
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26It's not healthy food. I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:31You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want that!
00:03:35Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck!
00:03:40I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:42Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:50I waited.
00:03:52I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:57And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough.
00:04:03Just enough.
00:04:05I want a divorce.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:21Huh?
00:04:23I want a di-
00:04:26I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:28Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:33Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:41Seriously?
00:04:43Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:46I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:48What is this?
00:04:50Another contract?
00:04:51How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:55It's not a-
00:04:56Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:58Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:01Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:04I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:09Pull my weight?
00:05:11Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Mwah! Love you.
00:05:16I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:19If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:22Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:32The movie's Greenland, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:35We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:37I can't.
00:05:38My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:40After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:48At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:51I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:55Hey mom, how you doing?
00:05:56Oh, good dear.
00:05:57I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:02Do you need more?
00:06:03No, no, no, no.
00:06:04You've already done so much.
00:06:06I'm just trying to help.
00:06:07I know.
00:06:08But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:12I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:19I am, mom.
00:06:22And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:29You have a wonderful fear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:33Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:35I gotta go.
00:06:36Love you.
00:06:39What is it, mom?
00:06:41Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:49Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:55and is stealing it back again.
00:07:00Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:09All right, cut.
00:07:11That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:13We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:17Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:19I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:23Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:26If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:30We got her.
00:07:30We got her.
00:07:31Nobody can't think of one of these.
00:07:31Nope.
00:07:35Nobody can see anything.
00:07:36We'll hate her.
00:07:44What are we doing?
00:07:46We got her going.
00:07:47Baby.
00:07:47Where are you from?
00:07:48I was interested.
00:07:48No!
00:07:49I'm listening.
00:07:50We...
00:07:50I want to tell you.
00:07:52You're still there.
00:07:53We've created him.
00:07:54Whatever it takes, we're helping him.
00:07:56Who wants to?
00:07:57Who wants us to do?
00:07:58Who wants us to know?
00:07:59You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:28Just give me your hand.
00:08:43No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:47I got you.
00:08:48No! Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:52I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:01Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:08Good to see you.
00:09:18Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, two long.
00:09:20Look at you!
00:09:22Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:25Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:26Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:28Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:33Oh, there he is!
00:09:35The assistant!
00:09:36I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:39How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:44Stop!
00:09:45I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:52Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:55Daniel!
00:09:56Oh.
00:09:56Don't embarrass me.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:07My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:09He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:11Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:14What are you saying, huh?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20That's fine.
00:10:22That's fine.
00:10:23Just relax, okay?
00:10:24Be nice.
00:10:27Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:40when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:42Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:54Oh, careful.
00:10:55You all right?
00:10:59I'm still starving.
00:11:01Make me some food.
00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:06Ew.
00:11:07What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:09I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:12Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:15I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21Well, babe, for real?
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:25My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:28Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:30I'm rich.
00:11:32Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:35I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:39See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:41You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:43You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:44They were so dull.
00:11:45Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:49Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:57My turn.
00:11:59Here you go.
00:12:00What?
00:12:01Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:03All of you insist.
00:12:05I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06So.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:09Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code, so.
00:12:15Anyways, come on, babe, let's go!
00:12:18That's great.
00:12:18Gotcha.
00:12:19There we go.
00:12:20Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:24You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:30You're right.
00:12:30It is the last time.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
00:12:36Hi.
00:12:38Jackson.
00:12:39Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:50It's over.
00:12:52Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:56I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:00After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:02Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:22She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:25Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:29I could scream.
00:13:30I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:32Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:36Oh, gee.
00:13:37I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:39A scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:13:42Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:44Wait, are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:50All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:57Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:00You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:02Your brand?
00:14:02It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:05You get it, right?
00:14:15So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18It's okay, babe.
00:14:19We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:30This is so going viral.
00:14:31I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:32It looks like more than dating.
00:14:35Are...
00:14:35Is this your son?
00:14:36I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:39Don't be silly.
00:14:40You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:43That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:45He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:48But Preston is awesome.
00:14:51He's an action spy.
00:14:52I wish he was my dad.
00:14:55My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:58But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home
00:15:01coked out from a Hollywood after-party with a call girl.
00:15:04It's okay, buddy.
00:15:05Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:07If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:10That is if mom's school with it.
00:15:12Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:14Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:16Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:17Come on.
00:15:21Let's get Michelle.
00:15:37Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:51Daniel!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:55From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:59Daniel, he's here?
00:16:01Did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:03Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:04I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:06I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:08Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:09Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:13Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:15Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:17Jackson, enough.
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then.
00:16:23Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:25I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:32You're really good at that.
00:16:33Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:36A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:48I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me.
00:16:52He has to understand.
00:16:53This is Hollywood.
00:16:54It's just part of the job.
00:16:57Daniel, I can explain.
00:16:59I can explain.
00:17:04Daniel, what is this?
00:17:05I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:10All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:15Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:18We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:21Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:22A vacation?
00:17:23Finally.
00:17:24You're paying attention.
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:27I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:29Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:31What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:33Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:34That's not what I meant.
00:17:35Whoa.
00:17:36Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:39It's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:43Just like any good husband would.
00:17:44Oh, I see.
00:17:46Is it me?
00:17:47Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:49I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:51I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:53You know what?
00:17:54Maybe I should go.
00:17:55I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:57No, please stay.
00:17:58I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:02No, you know what?
00:18:03I'll go.
00:18:05And clearly she wants you.
00:18:06I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:07Daniel, wait.
00:18:10I won't ever let you go.
00:18:12He won't leave.
00:18:13He promised.
00:18:14It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:17We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:19I'm going to go back.
00:18:24Daniel!
00:18:27Please.
00:18:28Better than yours.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:32Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:33Oh!
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:36You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:43It's fun.
00:18:45Why don't look at me like that?
00:18:46I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:49Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:53How lucky for him.
00:18:55He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:58Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:02Listen, Matt, I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and...
00:19:06Nothing happened.
00:19:07You can trust me.
00:19:10President, I think you're at the same time.
00:19:13You need to go right now.
00:19:14All right.
00:19:15Oh, hey.
00:19:17Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:19I...
00:19:20When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:25I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:19:29Just ignore him.
00:19:30He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:31No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:35Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:37Jealous?
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:43Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:47You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:54That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house
00:19:58husband.
00:19:59Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:04Oh, my God.
00:20:07God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:11Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:15No, it's not like that.
00:20:17I...
00:20:18What?
00:20:20You know what?
00:20:21Fine.
00:20:24You two look great together.
00:20:25Daniel, I...
00:20:34And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:45Um...
00:20:46I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:54Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:56I was never the homemaker.
00:21:04Please, Daniel.
00:21:17I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:20If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:27I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:41Look at her now.
00:21:43Playing house for another man.
00:21:44If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:05There he is.
00:22:08God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:10Man.
00:22:11No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:13Yeah, life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:17Got some.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20What do you need?
00:22:21Oh, oh.
00:22:22Yeah, there you go.
00:22:23I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:25I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:26Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:28Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:34Hey, uh...
00:22:35You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:39You're not?
00:22:40A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:43Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:48It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:22:52What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:03Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:04I want to play with the fist, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:08And it's unfair!
00:23:09That's a shame, huh?
00:23:10You know what?
00:23:11Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:12Here we go.
00:23:14Ooh!
00:23:15No!
00:23:16Not to play with them!
00:23:19You never let me do anything!
00:23:22Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:25You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:27It's not about the money.
00:23:28It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:31Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:23:33bad examples.
00:23:34Yeah?
00:23:36What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:38You're so annoying!
00:23:40Don't push.
00:23:47I said don't push.
00:23:48Go get a book or something.
00:23:49Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:51He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:54God, what the hell is you just showing me?
00:23:59Call it a lesson.
00:24:00I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:02He's not your kid.
00:24:03I wish I was.
00:24:05I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:08I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:10Ouch.
00:24:11I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:13So why don't you make this little vacay of yours, Herman?
00:24:16Maybe it will be.
00:24:17But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:20You?
00:24:22Man of the house?
00:24:23Just please, you're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:25I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:29You're a washed up pack.
00:24:30Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:32How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:35I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:37I'm a fucking star!
00:24:39A star?
00:24:39A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:43Jackson, come on.
00:24:44I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:46No, I'm not going.
00:24:48Preston's way cooler than you.
00:24:50Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:24:53You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:18What was that?
00:25:22What's going on?
00:25:26Daniel!
00:25:27What is happening?
00:25:28It was Dad, Mom!
00:25:30Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:32What?
00:25:32I'm so scared!
00:25:33That'd be pretty good, babe.
00:25:35What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:37I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:38I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:39What?
00:25:40I didn't?
00:25:41Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:42You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:45I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:48It's just a fucking fish tank!
00:25:50Grow up!
00:25:51Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:53What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:55What?
00:25:56Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:25:58Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:01No!
00:26:02Oh my God!
00:26:04He's lying!
00:26:06You're a monster!
00:26:08And in front of your son?
00:26:09You have to be kidding!
00:26:11We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:14We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:16Come on.
00:26:17Clean this up!
00:26:20Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:23Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:26:36Hello, 911.
00:26:37What's your emergency?
00:26:38I'm waking up.
00:26:39I think I hit an artery.
00:26:41I need an ambulance now.
00:26:43Now!
00:26:53You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:26:58with liquids.
00:26:59To be honest, that's...
00:27:00I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:05Uh...
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07Pretty obvious.
00:27:09Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:12I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:17With Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:22I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:26You said, um, couple?
00:27:28I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official!
00:27:33She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:38She was so sweet.
00:27:43Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:46No, it's...
00:27:47It's an old wound.
00:27:50I tore it, actually, um...
00:27:52Ten years ago.
00:27:54Daniel!
00:27:55Sweet and caring.
00:27:58So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:01He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:03and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:05I'm gonna get my shit in, y'all.
00:28:16Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:18You once liked my short film.
00:28:20I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:21It needs the right producer.
00:28:32I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:36Where have you been?
00:28:37I kept calling.
00:28:39I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:42Huh?
00:28:47What?
00:28:47I've been busy.
00:28:48Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:51Seriously?
00:28:52Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:54I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:58Yeah.
00:28:59That's what you want to call it?
00:29:02I...
00:29:02I just...
00:29:03I'm sorry.
00:29:05I...
00:29:06Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:13It is what it is.
00:29:14But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:19You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:23And I think you should go for it.
00:29:25I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:28But I just...
00:29:30I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:35Seriously.
00:29:36I...
00:29:37I care about you.
00:29:42I'm not mad.
00:29:44I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:46I know when you're angry.
00:29:47Really?
00:29:48I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:50I pay attention?
00:29:53Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:55She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:58That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:00A headline.
00:30:01A performance.
00:30:04Sabrina.
00:30:08Sabrina, I'm gonna...
00:30:09You know what?
00:30:10I hate fighting.
00:30:11So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:14I was thinking...
00:30:16We could revisit your script.
00:30:21I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:24You tell me you finally read it?
00:30:26Well, yeah.
00:30:27The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:30The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:33I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:35Me and you.
00:30:36The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:38I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:44A long time ago.
00:30:45Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves
00:30:51into the script.
00:30:52Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:55There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:57I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:01Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:03Fine.
00:31:04I don't know what you do, but I asked a chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it
00:31:24was awful.
00:31:25Well, if I've had a lot of experience making it for you, I'll be sure to tell him how you
00:31:29like it.
00:31:30That's not what I meant.
00:31:32I like it when you make it.
00:31:36I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:40I knew it.
00:31:42You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:44I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:48It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:53Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:55It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:58No, Daniel.
00:31:59No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:07Look what you made me do.
00:32:08Just leave it.
00:32:12I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:16And what?
00:32:17It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:19I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:21And look what I get for it.
00:32:23You know what?
00:32:24Forget it.
00:32:25I have a mirror.
00:32:26Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:28What?
00:32:43Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:46Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:47Not quite.
00:32:48That was the divorce contract.
00:32:50But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:32:54This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:56Remember that.
00:32:57I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:32:59I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:14Oh, please.
00:33:15She's always been so secretive.
00:33:17I mean, this is her movie premiere in Where Is Her Husband?
00:33:21Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:23I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:27Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:32Come here.
00:33:33Oh.
00:33:33Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:33:40Do you know where she is or who she's with?
00:33:44She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:45He's been staying with us.
00:33:46Oh.
00:33:47Really?
00:33:49Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:52Oh, I hope so.
00:33:53I really hope so.
00:33:54He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:33:58Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:01Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:10What are you doing here?
00:34:11You never come to these things.
00:34:14Oh, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:15Get lost.
00:34:18You embarrass us.
00:34:19Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:21I'm your father.
00:34:22I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:27Is there a problem?
00:34:33Oh, my God.
00:34:34That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:39If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:42I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:43You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:45Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:46You should probably listen to your kid and head out, because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:52I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:53That's not what I see.
00:34:55You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:03That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:06It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:09And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:13This was all a stunt, wasn't it?
00:35:16You were revolting.
00:35:18No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:20Hey.
00:35:22Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:24Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:28Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:30Oh, yeah?
00:35:31What lesson's that, Preston?
00:35:32You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on, so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:37Hmm.
00:35:40Oh!
00:35:41What the hell?
00:36:00What happened?
00:36:02Oh, my God!
00:36:03Daniel!
00:36:04What the hell happened?
00:36:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:08Are you okay?
00:36:09Look at her go.
00:36:10Hollywood's finest.
00:36:13Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:15It's Daniel.
00:36:17He's a monster.
00:36:18He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:21Mommy!
00:36:22Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:24No.
00:36:25No, that's not true.
00:36:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:35Daniel.
00:36:37Is that true?
00:36:40Sabrina.
00:36:42Oh!
00:36:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:46I think one of them's broken.
00:36:49Sabrina?
00:36:50Honey?
00:36:51We need to help Preston.
00:36:54But...
00:36:55But Daniel!
00:36:56But Daniel!
00:36:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:01Oh, gosh.
00:37:12Mommy, please!
00:37:13We can't leave him!
00:37:14I have to help Preston.
00:37:18I have to help Preston.
00:37:28Come on, Jackson.
00:37:33Daniel!
00:37:36I got you.
00:37:42Don't let me go!
00:37:44She's made her choice.
00:37:46There's no going back.
00:37:47We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:53Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:04Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:06I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:09There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:13Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:14In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:18If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:38Don't worry about it.
00:38:40Just drive.
00:38:44I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:56Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:00Seriously?
00:39:02Stay down.
00:39:03I know.
00:39:04Why is he down?
00:39:05I'm going to go call the doctor.
00:39:07Hey.
00:39:10What are you doing?
00:39:11I thought you were hurt.
00:39:12I think I'll pull through.
00:39:14So what are you doing?
00:39:22I've always wanted to.
00:39:24Come on.
00:39:25I know you want this.
00:39:26I see the way you look at me.
00:39:28And now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:39:32I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:34What am I doing?
00:39:45Daniel is still injured.
00:39:48He should be home.
00:39:51Sabrina?
00:39:52Preston, get off.
00:40:05What?
00:40:06Babe, we can finally come here.
00:40:08I said get off.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:11No, forget about him.
00:40:13Look, I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:40:18I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:40:22I mean, come on.
00:40:23Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:40:26Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:28What?
00:40:29Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:32No, what have I done?
00:40:37Where is he?
00:40:39What about me?
00:40:40You had your chance ten years ago.
00:40:43I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:51Hello?
00:40:52Excuse me.
00:40:54Excuse me.
00:40:55Hi.
00:40:56Have you seen my husband?
00:40:58Please, he was the one bleeding out.
00:41:00I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:04He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:10Daniel, where are you?
00:41:12I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:41:16Please try again later.
00:41:18What have I done?
00:41:19Come on, Daniel.
00:41:31Answer me.
00:41:37He's not gone.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:41He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:54No.
00:41:57It's not possible.
00:41:59He will be back.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:16Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:18The waves all spousal support.
00:42:21No.
00:42:22No, he can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me.
00:42:25I won't sign off on him.
00:42:27No.
00:42:27No.
00:42:27No.
00:42:28No.
00:42:28No.
00:42:29No.
00:42:29No.
00:42:30No.
00:42:30No.
00:42:31No.
00:42:31No.
00:42:32No.
00:42:32No.
00:42:33All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:42:56It can't be.
00:42:59It's not a...
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:43:01My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:03He loves me.
00:43:06He loves Jackson.
00:43:08He wouldn't just leave us.
00:43:10We're his family.
00:43:11After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:43:15I got you.
00:43:16I got you.
00:43:20Don't let me go.
00:43:22Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:29Daniel?
00:43:30Daniel?
00:43:31No, it's mom.
00:43:32Is everything okay?
00:43:34You sound panicked.
00:43:35Mom.
00:43:36Mom.
00:43:37Mom.
00:43:38Daniel.
00:43:39He just left us.
00:43:40Do you know where he is?
00:43:41We have to find him.
00:43:42We have to find him.
00:43:43We can check the hospital or the...
00:43:45Oh, honey.
00:43:46It's over.
00:43:47Daniel's not coming back.
00:43:48You knew?
00:43:49I'll come over in the morning.
00:43:50and explain everything.
00:43:51Mom.
00:43:52You knew?
00:43:53I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:43:55I'm hungry.
00:43:56Dad.
00:43:57Dad.
00:43:58You are hungry.
00:44:00Dad.
00:44:01I am hungry.
00:44:02Dad.
00:44:03I'm hungry.
00:44:04Dad, I'm hungry.
00:44:06I'm hungry.
00:44:09You can't be hungry.
00:44:10Dad.
00:44:11Dad.
00:44:12I'm hungry.
00:44:13Dad.
00:44:15Dad.
00:44:16Dad.
00:44:17Dad.
00:44:18It's so funny.
00:44:19I'm hungry.
00:44:20Dad.
00:44:21Is it ready?
00:44:22I'm hungry.
00:44:24Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:31I have something to tell you.
00:44:34Your dad...
00:44:37Your dad...
00:44:40He's left us.
00:44:42I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:44Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:47Why would you say that?
00:44:49He was so embarrassing! Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:52Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:54What did Preston say?
00:44:56He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:44:58should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:45:00then raising a young man.
00:45:02He was so lame and boring!
00:45:04Now he's gone!
00:45:06Mr. Eastwood is way cooler!
00:45:08He can be my new dad!
00:45:10Jackson! You have a dad!
00:45:12And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:14Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:22Hello?
00:45:24Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:26Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:28I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:30I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:32Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:36Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37No.
00:45:38But I'm not surprised.
00:45:40Flag his name.
00:45:41I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:45Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:48Okay?
00:45:50He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:52Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:56And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:59What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:02It's despicable.
00:46:04I can't do this anymore.
00:46:06I cancel everything.
00:46:08The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:10I don't want to be seen.
00:46:13I can't pretend.
00:46:15I just want him back.
00:46:17Oh, honey.
00:46:19It's time to let him go.
00:46:21You don't love him anyway.
00:46:23And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:30What?
00:46:31How could you say something like that?
00:46:33Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:35He cares for me.
00:46:37He sees me.
00:46:38He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:42But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:45Daniel's my husband.
00:46:47And the father of my son.
00:46:49Yeah, some husband.
00:46:51Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:53Wanting nothing to do with this child just because the contract ended?
00:46:55Contract?
00:46:57What contract?
00:46:59What are you talking about?
00:47:05Forget it.
00:47:06Forget it.
00:47:07Forget it.
00:47:08Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:09When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:14Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:17Please.
00:47:18I just want the truth.
00:47:20Mom.
00:47:21Fine.
00:47:23I will tell you the truth.
00:47:25But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:27I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:30But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:34When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:38I had to save you.
00:47:39She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:41You've always been there for her.
00:47:42From film school to now.
00:47:43I've seen it.
00:47:44She needs you.
00:47:45Stay.
00:47:46Marry her.
00:47:47Love her.
00:47:48So that she's never alone again.
00:47:51It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:09How could you do this to me?
00:48:11I wanted to protect you.
00:48:13You wanted to control me.
00:48:15All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:18Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:20You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:27Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:30He kept you together.
00:48:31Where?
00:48:32Where did he go?
00:48:34I know he told you where he went.
00:48:36Where is he?
00:48:37You can do better than him.
00:48:39You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:43Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:45No.
00:48:46He can't be gone.
00:48:47He can't.
00:48:48Yes.
00:48:49Yes.
00:48:50He is gone.
00:48:51And he is gone forever.
00:48:52He can't be.
00:48:54He can't be gone.
00:48:55He can't.
00:48:56He can't be gone.
00:48:57He can't be gone.
00:48:59He can't be gone.
00:49:00He can't be gone.
00:49:01I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of Howe to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:10I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox
00:49:19that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:25Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:31Daniel, your film received the palm door at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:35What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:37Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own sheet.
00:49:41Nobody told me how.
00:49:43Oh, man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:46I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:48Yeah, my career has been a long time in the making
00:49:52and I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:49:55I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:57But London, London lit the fire under me
00:50:01and I feel like I've found my voice and it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American rights director,
00:50:08will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:13Hollywood.
00:50:14Get out of the country.
00:50:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:50:21I will make your life a living hell.
00:50:26Daniel?
00:50:26He's no good at bragging about himself,
00:50:42so I'll do it for him.
00:50:44Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius
00:50:48and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:51That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:50:54two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress
00:50:56and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:03We'll never tell.
00:51:07Oh, my God.
00:51:08Thanks for saving me, Emily.
00:51:10She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:12I know.
00:51:12Jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal.
00:51:14I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:16I can.
00:51:18The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:22Daniel, enjoy this.
00:51:26And get used to compliments.
00:51:28There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:30Fuck.
00:51:31Finish me, I know.
00:51:32I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:35You okay?
00:51:37You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:39I know, it's, um...
00:51:40I'll have it.
00:51:42Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:46Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:59I know.
00:52:01Our press is good press.
00:52:02Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:52:13bitch?
00:52:15He can't do this to me!
00:52:17Sabrina.
00:52:18You don't need him.
00:52:19Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:21How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:24Move on?
00:52:25Please, honey.
00:52:27He is using her.
00:52:29Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:32He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:34How could you say that?
00:52:36I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:39He's proving that to the whole world!
00:52:42Don't you see it?
00:52:43Sabrina.
00:52:44Look at what you've got.
00:52:46A celebrated career.
00:52:48A mansion in the hills.
00:52:50An adorable kid.
00:52:51Well, when he's not whining.
00:52:53And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:55Your dream man.
00:52:57You have everything.
00:52:59I don't have him.
00:53:01Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:03Go have the chef make something.
00:53:05No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:08Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:10Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:12He's your dad.
00:53:13No!
00:53:13Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:15Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:19It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:21When did he get so cruel?
00:53:23You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:27A doormat.
00:53:29Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:32Enough!
00:53:33You little shit!
00:53:36Enough!
00:53:37Just enough!
00:53:38Sabrina?
00:53:39What's gotten into you?
00:53:41Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:45Whoa.
00:53:46What's going on here?
00:53:47This room feels really tense.
00:53:49Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:51I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:53No!
00:53:54I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:56And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:59It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:06Hey, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:54:10Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:11Really?
00:54:12Loser?
00:54:13Yeah.
00:54:13You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:16And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:26That's really, really low.
00:54:28Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year?
00:54:33Come on.
00:54:33We're America's power couple.
00:54:35To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:38Face it, Preston.
00:54:40You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:43And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:45Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:47You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:50I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:53Because you know what?
00:54:54Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:55It's not like that.
00:54:57Okay?
00:54:57Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:00I want to marry you.
00:55:02We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:04What's my birthday?
00:55:06Huh?
00:55:06What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:08What's my favorite color?
00:55:10My favorite song?
00:55:11Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:13Oh, oh, wait.
00:55:14What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:17You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:19You don't love me.
00:55:20You don't even know me.
00:55:22This isn't a relationship.
00:55:24This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:27And you know what?
00:55:28I'm done.
00:55:29Get out.
00:55:30I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:35We're over.
00:55:36No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:37Please, please, I love you.
00:55:39Just think about it.
00:55:40Think of the press.
00:55:41What does it look like?
00:55:42If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:47Get out.
00:55:48Now.
00:55:49Just give me your hand.
00:55:50Come on.
00:55:51No.
00:55:52I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:55Nobody sees around me.
00:55:56I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:57I see all of you.
00:56:01And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:03He truly knew me.
00:56:07He loved me.
00:56:09Every flaw.
00:56:11Every fear.
00:56:12Contract or not.
00:56:14He truly loved me.
00:56:16I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:18Saved me?
00:56:20You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:23Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:25And he saved me from you.
00:56:28Security!
00:56:30Security!
00:56:32Come on.
00:56:32Just let's talk about this.
00:56:33No.
00:56:34Come on.
00:56:35Celeste.
00:56:36Do something.
00:56:37God.
00:56:37Sabrina.
00:56:39Come on.
00:56:39Sabrina.
00:56:40Was that really necessary?
00:56:42I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:46Is that all you care about?
00:56:48The fame?
00:56:49The headlines?
00:56:50The brand deals?
00:56:52God.
00:56:53You're supposed to be my mother first.
00:56:55Not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:57Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:00Of course I care about you.
00:57:03I love you.
00:57:04Then prove it.
00:57:06If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:23You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:25I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:27In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:32I mean, you know this.
00:57:34You're a legend.
00:57:35I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:37All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:38You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:41I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:43I got projects.
00:57:44Come on.
00:57:45You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:57:49not London.
00:57:50That's where you belong.
00:57:53To be honest, I already did all.
00:57:55It didn't really end well.
00:57:56Let me guess.
00:57:58A girl?
00:57:59If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:04You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:07You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:11You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:12Three-picture deal.
00:58:13Two-hundred-million-dollar budget each.
00:58:15Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:17I don't know what to say.
00:58:18Just say yes.
00:58:19You have my number.
00:58:21Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:22Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:24You can't run away from the past.
00:58:26You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:28Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:42Can we talk?
00:58:44Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:48Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:54Is this a personal story where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:59Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:04I'll leave it at that.
00:59:05You arrogant little shit.
00:59:10I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:19It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:21I need a favor.
00:59:22I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:28It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:33Mom?
00:59:33What are you doing?
00:59:35Did you just break my TV?
00:59:40Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:43You know, I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:45You've been so kind, though.
00:59:46It's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:51He's back.
00:59:54Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:56Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:58I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:01I need to get on that movie.
01:00:03Absolutely not.
01:00:04You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:06If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:09Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:12He still loves me.
01:00:15He has to.
01:00:16I just need to talk to him.
01:00:19I just need to talk to him.
01:00:19Let him go.
01:00:23Mom.
01:00:25Honey, I...
01:00:26You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:30I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:37I love you, too.
01:00:40Here we go.
01:00:43This is, um...
01:00:44It's another movie deal.
01:00:46I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:47Did you get his location?
01:01:04The Oaks.
01:01:068 p.m.
01:01:07After I'm done with him,
01:01:09Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:12He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:14She's not protecting me.
01:01:25She's protecting her business.
01:01:27And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:29But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:33So nice having you back.
01:01:36And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:38Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:01:40A couple?
01:01:40Oh, Daniel, it was ten years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:45If you can even call them that.
01:01:47But you're healthy now.
01:01:48And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:50I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina,
01:01:53but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:55The marriage, the kids.
01:01:57I mean, we really tried.
01:01:59I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:02:02It's over.
01:02:04It's over.
01:02:04I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks press Cindy Swickin' off her.
01:02:16Oh.
01:02:17You haven't heard?
01:02:20She dumped him.
01:02:21It was all over People magazine.
01:02:23She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:26Oh, my God.
01:02:27What?
01:02:28Come on.
01:02:33Daniel.
01:02:37Stop.
01:02:45Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:47I'm here to help you.
01:02:49Sabrina.
01:02:50You're making a scene.
01:02:51Let's go home.
01:02:52Sabrina?
01:02:53How could you?
01:02:54What?
01:02:54I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:58I begged and pleaded.
01:03:00Stop lying.
01:03:02I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:06And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:11My God.
01:03:12You're disgusting.
01:03:13I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:15Not anymore.
01:03:16Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:21I don't even know who you are.
01:03:23I don't even know who you are anymore anymore.
01:03:24I'm your mother.
01:03:26I only want what's best for you.
01:03:29What's best for me?
01:03:32You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:37That all ends today.
01:03:42You're fired.
01:03:44Fired.
01:03:46No.
01:03:49No.
01:03:53You can't do this to me.
01:03:57Please, please, sweetie.
01:03:58I have dedicated my life to you.
01:04:00You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:04I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:07You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:10There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:13I made you.
01:04:14You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:19I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:27We're done here, Mom.
01:04:28If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:36Without another word.
01:04:38I have something to say.
01:04:52I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:55I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:58I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:02I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:11Apologize to your father.
01:05:14Do I have to?
01:05:15Who raised you?
01:05:18Cared for you?
01:05:20Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:24Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:28He did.
01:05:29He loved you.
01:05:30But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:33I was wrong.
01:05:34Jackson.
01:05:35He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:39And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:43I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:45It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:50I'm just going to love you.
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:52Come on, Jackson.
01:05:53Let's go.
01:06:00I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:03For everything.
01:06:04I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:15You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:17I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:22They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:25They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:30People can change.
01:06:33But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:36And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:50Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat
01:06:55on the shelf for ten years?
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:57I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:03But, okay.
01:07:04I'll tell you this.
01:07:04Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:16Way to go, John!
01:07:34Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:38We'll keep in touch.
01:07:45How many more do we have today?
01:07:4740, sir.
01:07:48Jeez.
01:07:48Hey, boy!
01:07:50How are we looking?
01:07:51We're still digging.
01:07:52Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:55I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:59Alright, here's the deal.
01:08:00The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:04Today?
01:08:06Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:07That's why I love you, man.
01:08:08Cool under pressure.
01:08:09This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:15Oh, my God.
01:08:16Alright, just bring in the next one.
01:08:17Ah.
01:08:18But that would be...
01:08:20Emily Blake.
01:08:24Emily.
01:08:29Emily.
01:08:30Amazing, as always.
01:08:31You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:35Please.
01:08:36I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:40How's L.A. treating you?
01:08:42Oh, my God.
01:08:43Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:46But I am...
01:08:47I'm glad to be back.
01:08:49Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:51Yeah.
01:08:52But...
01:08:53It suits you.
01:08:54You definitely belong here.
01:08:58I do miss you, though.
01:09:01It was fun.
01:09:02Playing the part.
01:09:04British starlet.
01:09:05American director.
01:09:07I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:13Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry, Halloween.
01:09:17It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:20You...
01:09:21You were amazing, as always.
01:09:23It's just...
01:09:25It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:28I never was, was I?
01:09:32Anyways...
01:09:34Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:37Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:39Yeah.
01:09:51Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:09:52Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:56And be generous with the sugar.
01:09:58Oh my god.
01:09:59What am I gonna do?
01:10:00That was quick.
01:10:01What are you doing here?
01:10:02I came to audition.
01:10:03Oh my god.
01:10:04Oh my god.
01:10:05What am I gonna do?
01:10:06Oh my god.
01:10:07What am I gonna do?
01:10:08That was quick.
01:10:09What are you doing here?
01:10:24I came to audition.
01:10:27What are you doing here?
01:10:28What are you doing here?
01:10:30Did you bring any representation?
01:10:31No.
01:10:32I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:36I'm starting fresh.
01:10:37Right.
01:10:38Um...
01:10:39Hi. I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:47Don't let me go!
01:10:48I got you. I'll never let you go.
01:10:53Are you okay?
01:10:54Yeah. It's an old wound that, um, never really healed.
01:11:01I understand.
01:11:05Daniel Johnson.
01:11:06Nice to meet you.
01:11:12Please.
01:11:20Whenever you're ready.
01:11:36Let us see you in a river.
01:11:42Let us see you here.
01:11:44Let us see you in a river.
01:11:47Ready to go!
01:11:50Let us see you in a river.
01:11:52Let us see you in a river.
01:11:56Sure.
