00:00:00She has to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:00:02Sabrina was a rising star.
00:00:04And Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:00:09You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?
00:00:11You will end up with nothing.
00:00:13The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:16I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:00:19Why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:00:21Perfect.
00:00:22Get out of Hollywood.
00:00:23In fact, get out of the country.
00:00:25I gave it everything I had.
00:00:27Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:00:31No.
00:00:32What have I done?
00:00:33He can't be gone.
00:00:34He can't.
00:00:35Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:00:38Being with me hurt his career.
00:00:40Look at what you've got.
00:00:41You have everything.
00:00:43I don't have him.
00:00:46Daniel!
00:00:46He still loves me.
00:00:48He has to.
00:00:49And we need to find him at all costs.
00:00:51Daniel!
00:00:57And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:01:06That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:01:09Who knew the house hubby had it in him?
00:01:11I'm an industry joke now.
00:01:13Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:01:20Wow, you did your homework.
00:01:21Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:01:26I will tell you this.
00:01:27I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:01:32Daniel really did it.
00:01:34The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:01:37You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?
00:01:41You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:01:43Our contract expired.
00:01:45I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:01:48If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:01:51The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:57I'll always love my son.
00:01:59But he's a bully, and he learned her from the best in the business.
00:02:02His grandmother.
00:02:03You used to worship Sabrina.
00:02:05What happened?
00:02:06That was a long time ago.
00:02:08America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:02:11All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:02:15But her career is hanging by a thread.
00:02:16I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:02:20You've always loved her, Daniel.
00:02:22I've seen it.
00:02:24She needs that now.
00:02:26Stay.
00:02:27Marry her.
00:02:29Love her.
00:02:30So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:02:32I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:02:36And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:02:38If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:02:46This was the last one.
00:02:47Mom, Daniel.
00:02:52What's going on?
00:02:56What's going on?
00:02:57Honey!
00:02:59I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:03:04If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.
00:03:06But I need to go.
00:03:08I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:03:11Think about it, Daniel.
00:03:12Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:03:23Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:03:25Ugh, can it wait?
00:03:26I'm seriously so spent.
00:03:29I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:03:33I saw Preston was there.
00:03:36I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:03:39I mean, we owe him.
00:03:40Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:03:45I'm starving.
00:03:46When are we eating?
00:03:47Lunch is on the stove.
00:03:49But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:52No!
00:03:52I want to eat now!
00:03:54You always know the spot.
00:04:06He doesn't listen.
00:04:07Daniel, please.
00:04:09I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Fanity Fair shoot.
00:04:15Ugh.
00:04:17I got something I need to tell you.
00:04:18I'll make it quick.
00:04:19This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:04:20Ew!
00:04:21What is this?
00:04:23It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:04:24I don't want healthy food.
00:04:26I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:27Chicken nuggets!
00:04:28Chicken nuggets!
00:04:29You can't have that every day.
00:04:31It's not healthy for you.
00:04:32But I want that!
00:04:34Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:04:38You suck!
00:04:39I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:41Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:42I waited.
00:04:50I gave it everything I had.
00:04:54But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:56And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:05:02Enough.
00:05:02Just enough.
00:05:08I want a divorce.
00:05:11I want a divorce.
00:05:13Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:05:19Huh?
00:05:21I want...
00:05:23I want chicken nuggets!
00:05:26Give me chicken nuggets!
00:05:28Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:05:32Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:05:34We'll get you some real food.
00:05:35Seriously, your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:05:44I mean, it's not that hard.
00:05:47What is this?
00:05:48Another contract?
00:05:50How big is the role?
00:05:52Who's directing?
00:05:54It's not a...
00:05:54Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:57Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:06:00Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:06:03I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:06:08Pull my weight?
00:06:09Yeah, you get it.
00:06:11Okay.
00:06:12Mwah!
00:06:13Love you.
00:06:14I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:06:18If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:06:21Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:06:30The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:06:34We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:06:36I can't.
00:06:37My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:06:39After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:47At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:50I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:53Hey, Mom.
00:06:54How you doing?
00:06:54Oh, good, dear.
00:06:56I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:07:01Do you need more?
00:07:01No, no, no, no.
00:07:02You've already done so much.
00:07:05I'm just trying to help.
00:07:06I know.
00:07:07But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:07:10I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:07:18I am, Mom.
00:07:20And I promise, very soon...
00:07:26Everything's gonna change.
00:07:27You look so wonderful, dear.
00:07:29You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:07:32Everyone, come quick!
00:07:32Come quick!
00:07:33I gotta go.
00:07:34Love you.
00:07:38What is it, Mom?
00:07:39Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:07:42Our favorite leading man.
00:07:44Come on.
00:07:45Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.
00:07:58Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:08:01All right, cut!
00:08:09That's a wrap, everyone.
00:08:10Thank you!
00:08:12We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:08:15Sabrina was a rising star.
00:08:17I was just the director's assistant.
00:08:21Our future's ahead of us.
00:08:23If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:28If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:53You destroyed me, Preston.
00:09:03You spent some blood.
00:09:16Sabrina!
00:09:17Don't!
00:09:19Stay back!
00:09:20Don't.
00:09:21I mean it!
00:09:22Sabrina!
00:09:23Don't do this.
00:09:25Just...
00:09:26Just give me your hand.
00:09:41No!
00:09:42Daniel!
00:09:45I got you.
00:09:46No!
00:09:47Don't let me go!
00:09:49I won't ever let you go.
00:09:50I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:59Nobody sees the real me.
00:10:01I see you, Sabrina.
00:10:03I see all of you.
00:10:05And you're never going to be alone again.
00:10:07Good to see you.
00:10:07Good to see you.
00:10:15Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:10:18Oh, too long.
00:10:18Look at you!
00:10:20Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:10:23Of course, babe.
00:10:24Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:10:26Are you kidding?
00:10:27Oh, Daniel.
00:10:28Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:10:31Oh, there he is!
00:10:33The assistant!
00:10:34I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:10:38How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:42Stop!
00:10:43I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:50Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:53Daniel.
00:10:54Oh.
00:10:54Don't embarrass me.
00:10:55No, it's fine.
00:10:56Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:11:01He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:11:05My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:11:07He doesn't let me do anything.
00:11:09Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of Dad's rules.
00:11:12What are you saying, huh?
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:14Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:11:18That's fine.
00:11:20That's fine.
00:11:21Just relax, okay?
00:11:23Be nice.
00:11:32Some people never change.
00:11:34But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:40Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:42But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:11:52Oh, careful.
00:11:54You all right?
00:11:57I'm still starving.
00:11:59Make me some food.
00:12:00Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:12:03Stew?
00:12:05Ew.
00:12:05What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:12:07I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:12:10You know, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:12:13I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:12:16Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:12:19Oh, babe.
00:12:21For real?
00:12:22Yeah.
00:12:22My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:12:26Donovan Cosmetics.
00:12:28I'm rich.
00:12:30Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:12:33I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:37See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:39You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:41You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:42They were so dull.
00:12:43Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:47Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:51So how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:55My treat.
00:12:57Here we go.
00:12:57Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:13:00I don't mind.
00:13:01All of you insist.
00:13:03I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:13:04So.
00:13:06Okay.
00:13:08Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:13:12So.
00:13:13Anyways.
00:13:13Come on, Ben.
00:13:14Let's go.
00:13:16Looks great.
00:13:16Gotcha.
00:13:17There we go.
00:13:18Oh.
00:13:20There's Paps.
00:13:22You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:13:24Last time.
00:13:25I promise.
00:13:28You're right.
00:13:29It is the last time.
00:13:32Hey, guys.
00:13:34Hey.
00:13:34Hi.
00:13:36Jackson.
00:13:42Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:46Contract's fine.
00:13:48It's over.
00:13:50Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:54I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:58After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:14:18Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:14:20She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:14:25Sabrina Donovan?
00:14:27I could scream.
00:14:28I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:14:30Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:34OMG.
00:14:34I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:37A scene that I wrote.
00:14:39Uncredited, of course.
00:14:40Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:42Wait.
00:14:43Are you two dating?
00:14:44Oh, well, actually.
00:14:45This is totally a date.
00:14:47All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:55Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:58You're not really a part of my brand.
00:15:00Your brand?
00:15:01It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:15:03You get it, right?
00:15:05So, you two are a thing?
00:15:15Well, I...
00:15:16Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:15:16We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:15:27This is so going viral.
00:15:29I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:15:30It looks like more than dating.
00:15:32Are...
00:15:33Is this your son?
00:15:34I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:37Don't be silly.
00:15:38You have a dad, and he's...
00:15:39A sissy.
00:15:40That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:42He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:46But Preston is awesome.
00:15:48He's an action spy.
00:15:50I wish he was my dad.
00:15:51My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:56But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:15:58when he comes home coked out
00:15:59from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:16:02It's okay, buddy.
00:16:03Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:16:05If you want me around, I'm in.
00:16:08That is, if mom's school with him.
00:16:10Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:16:11Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:16:14Preston, what are you doing?
00:16:18Come on.
00:16:19Let's give him a show.
00:16:21Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:42Sabrina will end up on top,
00:16:44and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:49Daniel!
00:16:49You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:53From the sound of it,
00:16:54your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:57Daniel, he's here?
00:16:58Did he see us?
00:16:59Is he looking over here?
00:17:01Fuck, that's not good.
00:17:02I was just doing that for publicity.
00:17:03I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:17:05Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:17:07Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:17:08Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:17:11Who cares about him, mommy?
00:17:12Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:17:14Jackson, enough.
00:17:15What do I do?
00:17:18Well, that's it then.
00:17:21Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:17:22I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,
00:17:24with the tabloids.
00:17:26I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:29You're really good at that.
00:17:30Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:34A one-way ticket,
00:17:37so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:40I know the contract is over,
00:17:42but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:45I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:48Daniel loves me.
00:17:49He has to understand.
00:17:51This is Hollywood.
00:17:51It's just part of the job.
00:17:54Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:56Daniel, what is this?
00:18:05I can't let her create a public scene.
00:18:07All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:18:10Are you going somewhere?
00:18:12Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:18:15We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:18:18Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:18:20A vacation?
00:18:21Finally.
00:18:21You're paying attention.
00:18:23Yeah.
00:18:24I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:18:26Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:29What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:30Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:32That's not what I meant.
00:18:33Whoa.
00:18:34Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:36That's fine.
00:18:37Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit,
00:18:40just like any good husband would.
00:18:42Oh, I see.
00:18:43Is it me?
00:18:45Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:47I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:49I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:51You know what?
00:18:52Maybe I should go.
00:18:53I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:54No, please stay.
00:18:56I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:59No, you know what?
00:19:00I'll go.
00:19:02And clearly she wants you.
00:19:04He's willing to dance to his tune.
00:19:05Daniel, wait.
00:19:07I won't ever let you go.
00:19:09He won't leave.
00:19:10He promised.
00:19:12It doesn't have to be like this.
00:19:14We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:19:17I'm going to go back.
00:19:18Daniel!
00:19:21Daniel!
00:19:25Please.
00:19:25It's better than here.
00:19:27This is...
00:19:27Yeah.
00:19:29Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:19:31Oh!
00:19:31Oh, good.
00:19:33You're up.
00:19:35After dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:40It's fun.
00:19:41Don't look at me like that.
00:19:43I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:46Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:51How lucky for him.
00:19:52He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:55Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:59Listen, Matt.
00:20:00I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:20:05You can trust me.
00:20:06Preston, I think you're...
00:20:09You need to go right now.
00:20:11All right.
00:20:13Oh, hey.
00:20:14Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:20:17When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:20:22I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:26Just ignore him.
00:20:27He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:28No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:32Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:34Jealous?
00:20:36My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:40Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:44You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:51That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:56Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:21:02Oh, my God.
00:21:04God, you're unbelievable.
00:21:05Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:21:12No, it's not like that.
00:21:14I...
00:21:15What?
00:21:17You know what?
00:21:18Fine.
00:21:21You two look great together.
00:21:23Daniel, I...
00:21:23And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:39I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:51Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:55I was never the homemaker.
00:22:01Please, Daniel.
00:22:02Daniel.
00:22:09I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:21If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:24I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:26Look at her now.
00:22:40Playing house for another man.
00:22:42If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:46I...
00:22:47There he is.
00:23:04God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:23:07Man.
00:23:08No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:23:11Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:23:12I've got some.
00:23:16Yeah.
00:23:17What do you need?
00:23:18Oh, oh.
00:23:19Yeah, there you go.
00:23:20I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:23:22I doubt you'd like it.
00:23:23Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:25Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:30Hey, uh...
00:23:32You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:36No.
00:23:37A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:40Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:42It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:58What's wrong, Jackson?
00:24:00Mr. Eastwood!
00:24:01I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:24:05And it's unfair!
00:24:06That's a shame, huh?
00:24:07You know what?
00:24:08Let me grab her for you, little man.
00:24:09Here we go.
00:24:11Ooh.
00:24:12He knows not to play with them.
00:24:16You never let me do anything!
00:24:19Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:22You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:24It's not about the money.
00:24:25It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:28Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:31Yeah?
00:24:33What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:34You're so annoying!
00:24:36Don't push.
00:24:37Don't push.
00:24:43I said don't push.
00:24:45Go get a book or something.
00:24:46Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:48He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:24:51God, the house.
00:24:52You just shot me.
00:24:56Call it a lesson.
00:24:57I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:58I'm not your kid.
00:25:00I wish I was.
00:25:01I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:25:05I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:25:07Ouch.
00:25:08I mean, you just heard your son.
00:25:10So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?
00:25:12Maybe it will be.
00:25:14But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:17You?
00:25:19Man of the house?
00:25:20Please.
00:25:20You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:22I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:26And you're a washed up pack.
00:25:27Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:29How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:31I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:34I'm a fucking star!
00:25:35A star?
00:25:36A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:40Jackson, come on.
00:25:41I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:43No, I'm not going.
00:25:44Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:46Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:26:11You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:14What was that?
00:26:16It was Dad, Mom.
00:26:26Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:29What?
00:26:29I'm so scared.
00:26:30It got me pretty good, babe.
00:26:31What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:33I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:34He came in looking for a fight.
00:26:36What?
00:26:36I didn't?
00:26:37Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:39You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:41I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:43He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:45It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:46Grow up!
00:26:47Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:49What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:52What?
00:26:52Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:56Maybe I should go.
00:26:57I'm sorry.
00:26:58No.
00:26:59Oh my God.
00:27:01He's lying.
00:27:01You're a monster.
00:27:04And in front of your son?
00:27:06You have to be kidding.
00:27:08We have to get you to the hospital.
00:27:09Yeah.
00:27:10Close it.
00:27:11We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:13Come on.
00:27:14Clean this up.
00:27:17Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:22She's mine now, loser.
00:27:31Hello, 9-1-1.
00:27:33What's your emergency?
00:27:35I'm bleeding out.
00:27:36I think I hit an artery.
00:27:38I need an ambulance now.
00:27:39Now.
00:27:49You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:51So we're going to have to keep you here overnight
00:27:53to pump you with liquids.
00:27:55To be honest, that's...
00:27:56I could use a break from home.
00:27:58Trouble with the missus?
00:27:59Uh, yeah.
00:28:04It's pretty obvious.
00:28:05Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:28:08I shouldn't be saying this,
00:28:10but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:13With Preston Eastwood.
00:28:15True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:18I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:22You said, um, couple?
00:28:24I wasn't sure,
00:28:26but I checked the visitation logs
00:28:28and it's official.
00:28:29She even helped me reposition Preston
00:28:32when his IV was twisted.
00:28:34She was so sweet.
00:28:39Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:42No, it's...
00:28:43It's an old wound.
00:28:45I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:50Daniel!
00:28:52Sweet and caring.
00:28:54So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:57He only had to break her heart to get it
00:28:59and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:29:01Fuck!
00:29:02I don't get my shit at you all.
00:29:12Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:14You once liked my short film.
00:29:16I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:17It needs the right producer.
00:29:28I know it's a long shot,
00:29:29but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:32Where have you been?
00:29:34I kept calling.
00:29:35I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:38Huh?
00:29:39Huh?
00:29:42What?
00:29:43I've been busy.
00:29:44Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:46Uh, seriously?
00:29:48Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:50I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:54Yeah.
00:29:55That's what you want to call it?
00:29:57I...
00:29:58I just...
00:29:59I'm sorry.
00:30:01I...
00:30:02Bringing Preston into our home
00:30:04was probably crossing the line.
00:30:09It is what it is.
00:30:11But, I mean,
00:30:12you know how the industry works.
00:30:14You even just hint at a relationship
00:30:17and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:19And I think you should go for it.
00:30:21I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:24But,
00:30:25I just...
00:30:25I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:31Seriously.
00:30:32I...
00:30:32I care about you.
00:30:34I'm no man.
00:30:40I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:42I know when you're angry.
00:30:43Really?
00:30:44I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:46I pay attention?
00:30:48Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:51She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:54That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:56A headline.
00:30:57A performance.
00:30:58It's...
00:30:58Sabrina.
00:31:03Sabrina, I'm good...
00:31:04You know what?
00:31:06I hate fighting.
00:31:07So,
00:31:07let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:10I was thinking
00:31:11we could
00:31:12revisit your script.
00:31:16I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:19You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:21Well, yeah.
00:31:22The first ten pages,
00:31:24but
00:31:24they're good.
00:31:26The lead role is something
00:31:27I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:28I mean,
00:31:29we have to do this.
00:31:30Me and you.
00:31:31The lead actress
00:31:32and the writer-director.
00:31:35I gave up on that dream
00:31:36of us working together.
00:31:39A long time ago.
00:31:41Well,
00:31:42how about you make us some lattes
00:31:44and for the next hour
00:31:45we can just pour ourselves
00:31:46into the script.
00:31:48Just like we used to
00:31:49in film school.
00:31:51There was a time
00:31:52when this would have worked on me.
00:31:53I would have
00:31:54melted in her hands.
00:31:57Now I just want to
00:31:57pack and get out of here.
00:31:59Fine.
00:32:13I don't know what you do,
00:32:15but
00:32:16I asked the chef
00:32:17to make a latte
00:32:18while you were gone
00:32:18and it was
00:32:20awful.
00:32:21I've had a lot of experience
00:32:23making it for you.
00:32:23I'll be sure to tell him
00:32:24how you like it.
00:32:25That's not what I meant.
00:32:28I like it when you make it.
00:32:31I'm not going to always be here
00:32:33to make it.
00:32:36I knew it.
00:32:37You are mad
00:32:38that I brought Preston
00:32:39back here.
00:32:40I told you
00:32:41it was just
00:32:41a publicity stunt.
00:32:44It's not like
00:32:45our marriage
00:32:45is going to get me
00:32:46on the cover
00:32:46of Vanity Fair.
00:32:48Married people
00:32:49are fucking boring.
00:32:52It's good to know
00:32:53where you stand.
00:32:54No, Daniel.
00:32:55No, that's not
00:32:56what I meant.
00:33:02Look what you made me do.
00:33:04Just leave it.
00:33:08I just thought you would
00:33:08appreciate that
00:33:09I read your script.
00:33:11And what?
00:33:12It would make up
00:33:13for all the years
00:33:13of indifference.
00:33:14I'm just trying
00:33:15to do something nice.
00:33:17And look what I get for it.
00:33:19You know what?
00:33:20Forget it.
00:33:21I have a premiere.
00:33:22We'll just
00:33:22talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:38What?
00:33:39Is that how you talk
00:33:40to your mother-in-law?
00:33:41Yeah.
00:33:42Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:42Not quite.
00:33:43That was the
00:33:44divorce contract.
00:33:45But if you want
00:33:45a clean break,
00:33:46we need to finalize
00:33:47your entertainment contract
00:33:48and our family's NDA.
00:33:50This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:51Remember that.
00:33:52I'll text you
00:33:53the address
00:33:53of where to meet me.
00:34:04I heard
00:34:05she was sneaking
00:34:06Preston Eastwood
00:34:07into her trailer
00:34:08on set.
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:10She's always been
00:34:11so secretive.
00:34:12I mean,
00:34:12this is her movie premiere
00:34:13and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed
00:34:17by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere
00:34:19that he was just
00:34:20a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Oh, well,
00:34:25if we want the tea,
00:34:26let's get it from the pot.
00:34:27Come here.
00:34:28Oh.
00:34:31Jackson!
00:34:32We were just talking
00:34:34about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is?
00:34:36Or who she's with?
00:34:38She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:40He's been staying with us.
00:34:41Oh.
00:34:42Really?
00:34:44Do you think
00:34:44Mr. Eastwood
00:34:45might be your new daddy?
00:34:47Oh, I hope so.
00:34:48I really hope so.
00:34:49He's way cooler
00:34:50than my old,
00:34:51boring, real dad.
00:34:53Speaking of,
00:34:53I don't think
00:34:54we've ever met
00:34:55your real dad.
00:34:56Yeah,
00:34:56he usually stays at home
00:34:58doing chores like a maid.
00:35:05What are you doing here?
00:35:06You never come
00:35:07to these things.
00:35:09Oh, that's got
00:35:09to be the husband.
00:35:12Get lost.
00:35:13You embarrass us.
00:35:14Jackson,
00:35:15do not talk to me like that.
00:35:16I'm your father.
00:35:17I wish you never
00:35:18were my dad.
00:35:22Is there a problem?
00:35:26Oh, my God.
00:35:29That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:30How could Sabrina
00:35:31choose this flop
00:35:32over Preston?
00:35:34If there was a problem,
00:35:35that's none of your business.
00:35:36I wish Preston
00:35:37was my dad.
00:35:38You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:40Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:41You should probably
00:35:42listen to your kid
00:35:43and head out
00:35:44because
00:35:44you're starting
00:35:45to make a scene.
00:35:46I'm just here
00:35:47to talk to Celeste.
00:35:48That's not what I see.
00:35:50You showed up
00:35:51uninvited
00:35:52in street rags,
00:35:54abused Sabrina's kid
00:35:55and picked a fight
00:35:56with an A-lister.
00:35:58That's the kind of story
00:35:59the press would devour.
00:36:01Doesn't take much
00:36:02to be canceled these days.
00:36:04And then they would
00:36:05praise Sabrina
00:36:06for divorcing
00:36:07your sorry ass.
00:36:08This was all I stopped,
00:36:09wasn't it?
00:36:11You were revolting.
00:36:13No wonder Sabrina
00:36:13turned out the way she did.
00:36:15Hey.
00:36:17Why don't you
00:36:17watch your mouth?
00:36:19Trash like him
00:36:20is always forgetting
00:36:20their place in the world.
00:36:22Yeah.
00:36:23Maybe I should teach him
00:36:24a lesson.
00:36:24Oh yeah?
00:36:25What lesson's that,
00:36:26Preston?
00:36:27You groveling back
00:36:28to your ex
00:36:28that you cheated on
00:36:29so that you can
00:36:29leech off her career?
00:36:31Hmm.
00:36:36Oh!
00:36:36What the hell?
00:36:53What happened?
00:36:56Oh my god!
00:36:57Daniel!
00:36:58What the hell happened?
00:37:01Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:02Are you okay?
00:37:03Look at her go.
00:37:05Hollywood's finest.
00:37:07Always performing
00:37:08when there's an audience.
00:37:10It's Daniel.
00:37:11He's a monster.
00:37:12He found out about
00:37:13your premiere
00:37:13and crashed the party.
00:37:15Mommy!
00:37:16Dad came in here
00:37:17and started shouting at me.
00:37:19No.
00:37:19No, that's not true.
00:37:21If Preston weren't here,
00:37:23Daniel would have
00:37:23manhandled Jackson
00:37:24in front of the reporters.
00:37:26Can you imagine
00:37:27the allegations?
00:37:28Daniel,
00:37:30is that true?
00:37:34Sabrina.
00:37:36Oh!
00:37:38Yeah, I think
00:37:39you got me in the ribs.
00:37:41I think one of them
00:37:42is broken.
00:37:43Sabrina?
00:37:44Honey?
00:37:45We need to help Preston.
00:37:48But,
00:37:49but Daniel!
00:37:52Imagine choosing
00:37:53that loser
00:37:54for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:55Oh my god.
00:37:56Mommy, please!
00:38:07We can't leave him!
00:38:09I...
00:38:09I have...
00:38:11I have to help Preston.
00:38:18God.
00:38:21I got you.
00:38:22Come on, Jackson.
00:38:28I'm here.
00:38:33Daniel!
00:38:35I got you.
00:38:36Don't let me go!
00:38:38She's made her choice.
00:38:40There's no going back.
00:38:41We'll see if Preston
00:38:42can give her the life
00:38:43she's grown used to
00:38:44after all these years
00:38:45of me slaving for her.
00:38:47Well,
00:38:54that went even better
00:38:56than I planned.
00:38:58Now we can make
00:38:59a clean break.
00:39:00I wasn't waiting
00:39:01for your permission.
00:39:02There's an Uber
00:39:03waiting for you outside
00:39:05to take you
00:39:05to the airport.
00:39:07Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:09In fact,
00:39:10get out of the country.
00:39:11If I so much
00:39:13as see your name
00:39:14next to my daughters
00:39:15in a tabloid,
00:39:16I will make your life
00:39:17a living hell.
00:39:32Don't worry about it.
00:39:33Just drive.
00:39:34Okay.
00:39:41I used to ache
00:39:48for her approval.
00:39:50Now I just want to breathe
00:39:51without her shadow.
00:39:54Seriously?
00:39:56So long.
00:39:57I know.
00:39:57What?
00:39:58Yeah.
00:39:58Oh.
00:39:59I'm going to go
00:40:00call the doctor.
00:40:01Okay?
00:40:03What are you doing?
00:40:04I thought you were hurt.
00:40:06I think I'll pull through
00:40:07him.
00:40:11So what are you doing?
00:40:16What I've always wanted to.
00:40:18Come on.
00:40:19I know you want this.
00:40:19I see the way
00:40:20you look at me.
00:40:21Now that Daniel's gone,
00:40:23we have the house
00:40:24to ourself.
00:40:25I can finally have you
00:40:27in this bedroom.
00:40:37What am I doing?
00:40:39Daniel is still injured.
00:40:41He should be home.
00:40:45Sabrina?
00:40:55Preston, get off.
00:40:58What?
00:40:59Babe, we can finally...
00:41:00Come on.
00:41:01I said get off.
00:41:02What?
00:41:03I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:05No, forget about him.
00:41:06Look, I love Jackson
00:41:09and I'm ready to be the man
00:41:10that you've always wanted.
00:41:11I'm ready to be a dad
00:41:13to that little boy.
00:41:15I mean, come on.
00:41:16Sabrina, your son,
00:41:18your mother.
00:41:19Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:21What?
00:41:22Look, he's already moved on.
00:41:26No.
00:41:27No.
00:41:29What have I done?
00:41:30Where is he?
00:41:32What about me?
00:41:33You had a chance
00:41:34that's ten years ago.
00:41:36I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:42Hello?
00:41:45Excuse me.
00:41:47Excuse me.
00:41:48Hi.
00:41:48Have you seen my husband?
00:41:51Please.
00:41:51He was someone bleeding out.
00:41:52I saw him stumble outside
00:41:54holding his head
00:41:55after he spoke
00:41:56to some older woman.
00:41:57He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:00Oh, no.
00:42:02God, Daniel,
00:42:03where are you?
00:42:04I'm sorry,
00:42:05but the number
00:42:06you are trying to reach
00:42:07is no longer in service.
00:42:08Please try again later.
00:42:11What have I done?
00:42:14Oh, God.
00:42:22Come on, Daniel.
00:42:24Answer me.
00:42:30He's not gone.
00:42:32I know Daniel
00:42:33wouldn't leave me.
00:42:42He loves me too much
00:42:44to abandon me
00:42:45when I need him the most.
00:42:47No.
00:42:50It's not possible.
00:42:51He will be back.
00:42:55No.
00:43:06Boy, it's all assets.
00:43:08Climb zero,
00:43:09Castillo, Jackson.
00:43:11The waves
00:43:11all spousal support.
00:43:14No.
00:43:14No, he can't leave me.
00:43:16He can't do this to me.
00:43:18I won't sign off on it.
00:43:19All this time,
00:43:32he's going to leave me.
00:43:34No.
00:43:34All this time,
00:43:36he's going to leave me.
00:43:36It can't be.
00:43:51It's not a...
00:43:52Honestly,
00:43:53it doesn't matter.
00:43:54My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:56He loves me.
00:43:58He loves Jackson.
00:44:00He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:02We're his family.
00:44:04After all these years,
00:44:06everything we've been through...
00:44:08I got you.
00:44:30Don't let me go!
00:44:32Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:39Daniel?
00:44:40No, it's Mom.
00:44:41Is everything okay?
00:44:43You sound panicked.
00:44:43Mom!
00:44:46Mom!
00:44:47Daniel!
00:44:48He just left us!
00:44:51Do you know where he is?
00:44:54We have to find him.
00:44:55We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:57Oh, honey.
00:44:59It's over.
00:45:00Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:02You knew?
00:45:04I'll come over in the morning
00:45:05and explain everything.
00:45:14I'm hungry!
00:45:16Dad!
00:45:17Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:20Jackson?
00:45:21I have something to tell you.
00:45:27Your dad...
00:45:29Your dad...
00:45:32He's left us.
00:45:34I'm sorry,
00:45:35but he's not coming back.
00:45:36Yay!
00:45:37He's gone!
00:45:37He's gone!
00:45:39Why would you say that?
00:45:41He was so embarrassing!
00:45:42Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:45:44Mr. Eastwood?
00:45:46What did Preston say?
00:45:48He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:45:49should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:45:51than raising a young man.
00:45:54He was so lame and boring.
00:45:56Now he's gone!
00:45:58Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:00He can be my new dad!
00:46:02Jackson!
00:46:03You have a dad!
00:46:05And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:46:07Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:15Hello?
00:46:16Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:18Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:20I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:22I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:24Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:28Was that done with your approval?
00:46:29No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:32Flag his name.
00:46:33I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:37Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:46:41Okay?
00:46:41He's not the man you think he is.
00:46:43Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:46:47And we need to find him at all costs.
00:46:50What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:53Huh?
00:46:54It's despicable.
00:46:55I can't do this anymore.
00:46:58I'll cancel everything.
00:47:00The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:02I don't want to be seen.
00:47:04I can't pretend.
00:47:06I just want him back.
00:47:09Oh, honey.
00:47:11It's time to let him go.
00:47:13You don't love him anyway.
00:47:15And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:21What?
00:47:22How could you say something like that?
00:47:25Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:27He cares for me.
00:47:28He sees me.
00:47:29He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:33But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:37Daniel's my husband.
00:47:39And the father of my son.
00:47:40Yeah, some husband.
00:47:42Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:47:44Wanting nothing to do with this child just because the contract ended?
00:47:47Contract?
00:47:49What contract?
00:47:54What are you talking about?
00:47:57Forget it.
00:47:58Forget it.
00:47:59Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:00When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:06Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:08Please.
00:48:09I just want the truth.
00:48:11Mom.
00:48:13Fine.
00:48:14I will tell you the truth.
00:48:16But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:20I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:22But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:30When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:33I had to save you.
00:48:35She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:48:39You've always been there for her.
00:48:41From film school to now.
00:48:42I've seen it.
00:48:44She needs you.
00:48:45Stay.
00:48:47Marry her.
00:48:47Love her.
00:48:48So that she's never alone again.
00:48:57It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:01How could you do this to me?
00:49:03I wanted to protect you.
00:49:05You wanted to control me.
00:49:07All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:10Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:11You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:19Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:21He kept you together.
00:49:23Where?
00:49:24Where did he go?
00:49:26I know he told you where he went.
00:49:28Where is he?
00:49:29You can do better than him.
00:49:31You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:49:35Believe me, it's for the best.
00:49:37No!
00:49:38He can't be gone!
00:49:39He can't!
00:49:40Yes, he is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:49:44He can't be!
00:49:45He can't be gone!
00:49:46He can't!
00:49:47I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated
00:50:11a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:16Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:22Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:26What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:28Um, honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shteed.
00:50:32Nobody told me how.
00:50:34Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:50:37I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:50:38Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I haven't been very
00:50:45honest about it, actually.
00:50:46I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:50:48But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and it really
00:50:54is, full steam ahead.
00:50:56Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:51:00back to Hollywood?
00:51:03Hollywood.
00:51:04I don't know.
00:51:05Get out of the country.
00:51:07If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living
00:51:13hell.
00:51:16Daniel?
00:51:24He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:51:34Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:51:41That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, a two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:51:46actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:51:49Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:53Okay, we'll never tell.
00:51:58Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:52:00She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:02I know, jeez.
00:52:04This is so surreal.
00:52:05I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:07I can.
00:52:08The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:13Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:16And get used to compliments.
00:52:19There's already asked of us.
00:52:20Fuck.
00:52:21Finish me, I know.
00:52:22I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:26You okay?
00:52:27You always do that when you're nervous.
00:52:29I know, it's, um, old habit.
00:52:32Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:52:37Some of us just got a head start.
00:52:38But then, I'll press is good press.
00:52:57Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:03He can't do this to me.
00:53:07Sabrina.
00:53:07Sabrina.
00:53:07You don't need him.
00:53:09Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:11How could he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:14Move on?
00:53:15Oh, please, honey.
00:53:16He is using her.
00:53:19Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:22He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:24How could you say that?
00:53:26I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:53:30He's proving that to the whole world.
00:53:32Don't you see it?
00:53:33Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:53:36A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:53:42Well, when he's not whining.
00:53:43And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:53:47You have everything.
00:53:49I don't have him.
00:53:52Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:53Go have the chef make something.
00:53:55No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:58Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:00Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:02He's your dad.
00:54:03No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:06Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:09It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:11When did he get so cruel?
00:54:13You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:17A doormat.
00:54:19Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:20Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:22Enough, you little shit.
00:54:26Enough.
00:54:27Just enough.
00:54:28Sabrina, what's gotten into you?
00:54:30Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:54:34Whoa.
00:54:36What's going on here?
00:54:37This room feels really tense.
00:54:39Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:54:41I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:54:43No.
00:54:43I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:54:46And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:54:49It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:52Hey, babe, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:01Really?
00:55:02Loser?
00:55:02Yeah.
00:55:03You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:06And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:11That's really, really low.
00:55:17Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:55:23Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:55:25To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:55:28Face it, Preston.
00:55:29You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:55:32And you're a fucking thief.
00:55:35Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:55:36You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:55:39I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:55:42Because you know what?
00:55:43Honestly, I pity you.
00:55:45It's not like that, okay?
00:55:47Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:50I want to marry you.
00:55:51We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:54What's my birthday?
00:55:55Huh?
00:55:56What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:58What's my favorite color?
00:55:59My favorite song?
00:56:00Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:03Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:04What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:06You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:09You don't love me.
00:56:10You don't even know me.
00:56:12This isn't a relationship.
00:56:14This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:16And you know what?
00:56:17I'm done.
00:56:18Get out.
00:56:20I don't want to ever see you again.
00:56:22We're over.
00:56:23We're over.
00:56:24Hey, babe, come on.
00:56:26Please, please, I love you.
00:56:27Just think about it.
00:56:29Think of the press.
00:56:30What this will look like.
00:56:31If I have to call my security,
00:56:33all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:56:35Get out.
00:56:36Hey, just...
00:56:37Now.
00:56:38Just give me your hand.
00:56:39Come on.
00:56:39No.
00:56:40I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:56:43Nobody sees the real people.
00:56:45I see you, Sabrina.
00:56:47I see all of you.
00:56:49And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:52He truly knew me.
00:56:56He loved me.
00:56:58Every flaw.
00:56:59Every fear.
00:57:01Contract or not.
00:57:02But he truly loved me.
00:57:05I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:07Saved me?
00:57:08You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:12Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:13And he saved me from you.
00:57:17Security!
00:57:19Security!
00:57:20Come on.
00:57:20Just let's talk about this.
00:57:22No.
00:57:23Come on.
00:57:23Celeste!
00:57:24Do something!
00:57:25Sabrina!
00:57:27Come on, Sabrina!
00:57:29Was that really necessary?
00:57:31I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:57:35Is that all you care about?
00:57:36The fame?
00:57:37The headlines?
00:57:38The brand deals?
00:57:40God!
00:57:41You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:57:46Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:48Of course I care about you.
00:57:51I love you.
00:57:53Then prove it.
00:57:54If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:59You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:13I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:15In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:58:20I mean, you know this.
00:58:22You're a legend.
00:58:23I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:58:25All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:58:26You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:58:29I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:58:31I got projects.
00:58:32Come on!
00:58:33You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets
00:58:37made in L.A., not London.
00:58:38That's where you belong.
00:58:41To be honest, I already did all I.
00:58:43It didn't really end well.
00:58:45Let me guess.
00:58:46My girl?
00:58:47If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:52You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:54You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:59You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:00Three-picture deal.
00:59:01Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:03Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:05I don't know what to say.
00:59:06Just say yes.
00:59:07You have my number.
00:59:09Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:11Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:12You can't run away from the past.
00:59:14You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:59:24Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:59:36Of course.
00:59:36It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:59:41Is this a personal story?
00:59:44Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:59:47Oh.
00:59:49She knows who she is.
00:59:51Um.
00:59:52I'll leave it at that.
00:59:53You arrogant little shit.
00:59:58I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:07It's Celeste Donovan.
01:00:09I need a favor.
01:00:10I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:00:16It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:20Mom?
01:00:21What are you doing?
01:00:23Did you just break my TV?
01:00:27Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:00:31You know I'm not supposed to do that.
01:00:32You've been so kind, though.
01:00:33Um.
01:00:34It's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:00:39He's back.
01:00:41Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:43Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:00:46I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:48I need to get on that movie.
01:00:50Absolutely not.
01:00:51You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:54If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:57Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:59He still loves me.
01:01:02He has to.
01:01:04I just need to talk to him.
01:01:06Let him go.
01:01:08Mom.
01:01:12Honey, I...
01:01:13You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:01:17I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:01:21I love you.
01:01:23I love you, too.
01:01:25This is, um...
01:01:31It's another movie deal.
01:01:32I'll tell you about it after.
01:01:34Okay.
01:01:34Did you get his location?
01:01:51The Oaks.
01:01:528 p.m.
01:01:54After I'm done with him,
01:01:56Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:59He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:01Okay.
01:02:04She's not protecting me.
01:02:12She's protecting her business.
01:02:14And I'm just a pawn.
01:02:16But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:02:20So nice having you back.
01:02:22And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:02:25Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:02:27A couple?
01:02:28Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:02:32If you can even call them that.
01:02:33But you're healthy now.
01:02:35And I'm at the top of my career.
01:02:37I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina,
01:02:40but I really thought I could make it work.
01:02:42The marriage, the kids.
01:02:44I mean, we really tried.
01:02:46I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:02:49It's over.
01:02:51It's over.
01:02:52I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy
01:02:54she thinks Preston Nieswick can offer.
01:03:03Oh.
01:03:04You haven't heard?
01:03:06She dumped him.
01:03:08It was all over People magazine.
01:03:10She ended it when his star faded.
01:03:11Oh, my God.
01:03:14What?
01:03:20Daniel!
01:03:23Stop!
01:03:31Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:03:33I'm here to help you.
01:03:35Sabrina?
01:03:35You're making a scene.
01:03:38Let's go home.
01:03:39Serena?
01:03:39How could you?
01:03:40What?
01:03:40I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition,
01:03:44but he said no.
01:03:44I begged and pleaded.
01:03:46Stop lying.
01:03:48I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:52And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too,
01:03:54to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:57My God.
01:03:58You're disgusting.
01:03:59I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:01Not anymore.
01:04:03Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:07I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:04:10I'm your mother.
01:04:12I only want what's best for you.
01:04:15What's best for me?
01:04:19You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:04:23That all ends today.
01:04:28You're fired.
01:04:30Fired.
01:04:32No.
01:04:35No.
01:04:39No.
01:04:40You can't do this to me.
01:04:42Please.
01:04:43Please, sweetie.
01:04:44I have dedicated my life to you.
01:04:45You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:50I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:53You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:56There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:59I made you.
01:05:01You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:05I think she'll do just fine.
01:05:13We're done here, Mom.
01:05:14If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:05:22Without another word.
01:05:24I have something to say.
01:05:35I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:40I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:05:44I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:47I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:57Apologize to your father.
01:05:59Do I have to?
01:06:00Who raised you?
01:06:03Cared for you?
01:06:06Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:06:09Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:06:13He did.
01:06:15He loved you.
01:06:16But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:06:18I was wrong.
01:06:20Jackson.
01:06:21He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:06:24And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:06:29I'm sorry, Dad.
01:06:33It's going to be okay, son.
01:06:35I just want to love you.
01:06:37Okay.
01:06:38Come on, Jackson.
01:06:39Let's go.
01:06:46I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:48For everything.
01:06:54I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:01You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:03No.
01:07:05I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:07:07They hurt you, Daniel.
01:07:10They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:07:17People can change.
01:07:19But that doesn't change the past.
01:07:22I don't know.
01:07:24And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:07:33Daniel!
01:07:33Daniel!
01:07:34Daniel!
01:07:35Daniel!
01:07:35Daniel!
01:07:35Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on the shelf for ten years?
01:07:42Yes.
01:07:43I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:48But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:50I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:01Way to go, John!
01:08:20Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:08:23We'll keep in touch.
01:08:30How many more do we have today?
01:08:32Forty, sir.
01:08:33Geez.
01:08:34Yay, boy!
01:08:35How are we looking?
01:08:36We're still digging.
01:08:37Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:08:40But, I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:08:44All right, here's the deal.
01:08:45The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:50Today?
01:08:51Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:52That's why I love you, man.
01:08:53Cool under pressure.
01:08:55This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:09:00Oh, my God.
01:09:01All right, just bring him the next one.
01:09:02That would be Emily Blake.
01:09:09Emily.
01:09:14Emily.
01:09:15Amazing, as always.
01:09:17You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:09:20Please.
01:09:21I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:09:26How's LA treating you?
01:09:28Oh, my God.
01:09:29Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:09:31But I am...
01:09:33I'm glad to be back.
01:09:35Well, it's no English countryside.
01:09:37Yeah.
01:09:37But it suits you.
01:09:40You definitely belong here.
01:09:44I do miss you, though.
01:09:47It was fun.
01:09:48Playing the part.
01:09:50British starlet.
01:09:51American director.
01:09:53I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:57Waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:00I'm sorry.
01:10:01Halloween.
01:10:03Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:10:06You were amazing, as always.
01:10:09It's just...
01:10:10It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:10:14I never was, was I?
01:10:17Anyways, got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:10:22Maybe I'll see you around.
01:10:24Yeah.
01:10:24Okay.
01:10:31Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:10:37Go get one for yourself, too.
01:10:38And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:42Oh, my God.
01:10:49What am I going to do?
01:10:56That was quick.
01:10:57What are you doing here?
01:11:08What are you doing here?
01:11:10I came to audition.
01:11:13Did you bring any representation?
01:11:15No.
01:11:16I fired my manager, remember?
01:11:20I'm starting fresh.
01:11:22Right.
01:11:22Um...
01:11:23Hi.
01:11:27I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:11:31Don't let me go!
01:11:32I got you.
01:11:33I'll never let you go.
01:11:38Are you okay?
01:11:39Yeah.
01:11:39It's an old wound that, um...
01:11:42never really healed.
01:11:45I understand.
01:11:50Daniel Johnson.
01:11:53Nice to meet you.
01:11:56Please.
01:12:02Are you ready?
01:12:32You're welcome.
01:12:33You're welcome.
01:12:36All right.
01:12:48All right.
01:12:49I'm glad you're going to end it.
01:12:50I'm happy.
01:12:51You're welcome.
01:12:51All right.
01:12:52Thanks, man.
01:12:53Mm-hmm.
01:12:53Bye.
01:12:53Bye.
