Short filmTranscript
00:00:00You used 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 into 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.
00:00:26I gave it everything I had.
00:00:27Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:00:31No. What have I done?
00:00:33He can't be gone. He 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!
00:00:47He 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?
00:01:10Who 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?
00:01:19Wow, 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.
00:01:38You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?
00:01:41You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:01:43Our contract expired.
00:01:46I'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 it 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's 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.
00:02:33I 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?
00:02:58Honey!
00:02:58I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:03:04If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.
00:03:07But I need to go.
00:03:08I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:03:11Think about it, Daniel.
00:03:13Once 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 it.
00:03:34Preston 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!
00:04:04You 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.
00:04:16I got something I need to tell you.
00:04:18I'll make it quick.
00:04:19This isn't easy, but I...
00:04:21Ew, what 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, chicken nuggets.
00:04:29You can't have that every day.
00:04:31It's not healthy for you.
00:04:32But I want them.
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!
00:04:49I waited.
00:04:51I gave it everything I had.
00:04:53But 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.
00:05:17Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:05:19Huh?
00:05:20I want a divorce.
00:05:25I want chicken nuggets!
00:05:27Give 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.
00:05:40Seriously, 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?
00:05:49Another contract?
00:05:50How big is the role?
00:05:52Who's directing?
00:05:54It's not a...
00:05:55Whatever, 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.
00:06:13Love 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.
00:06:24The 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.
00:06:38After 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, how you doing?
00:06:55Oh, good dear.
00:06:57I 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.
00:07:11I 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, everything's going to change.
00:07:28You have a wonderful fear.
00:07:29You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:07:32Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:07:34I gotta go.
00:07:35Love you.
00:07:35What is it, mom?
00:07:40Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:07:42Our favorite leading man.
00:07:44Come on.
00:07:51Preston 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.
00:08:02All right, cut.
00:08:09That's a wrap, everyone.
00:08:12We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:08:15Sabrina was a rising star.
00:08:18I was just the director's assistant.
00:08:22Our future's ahead of us.
00:08:23If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:29If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:29Please don't raid me.
00:08:43I was just the director of China.
00:08:50No?
00:08:52No.
00:08:52We made it to them.
00:08:53You've destroyed me, Preston.
00:09:01There's nothing left.
00:09:15Sabrina, don't!
00:09:17Stay back.
00:09:19I mean it.
00:09:21Sabrina, don't do this.
00:09:25Just...
00:09:27Just give me your hand.
00:09:41No!
00:09:43Daniel!
00:09:45I got you.
00:09:47No! Don't let me go!
00:09:49I won't ever let you go.
00:09:55I'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 gonna be alone again.
00:10:15Good to see ya!
00:10:17Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:10:19Oh, too long.
00:10:21Look at you!
00:10:23Good to see ya!
00:10:25Good to see ya!
00:10:27Good to see ya!
00:10:29Good to see ya!
00:10:31Oh, there he is!
00:10:33The assistant!
00:10:35There's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:10:37How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:41Stop!
00:10:43I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:49Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:53Daniel!
00:10:54Oh.
00:10:55Don't embarrass me.
00:10:56No, it's fine.
00:10:57Whoa!
00:10:58You?
00:10:59Played Bret Steele?
00:11:00In your action spy movie?
00:11:01He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough!
00:11:04You 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 do you say, huh?
00:11:13Yeah!
00:11:14Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:11:17It's fine.
00:11:18It's fine.
00:11:19It's fine.
00:11:20Just 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
00:11:39again.
00:11:40Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:42But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:11:45Oh, careful.
00:11:46You all right?
00:11:47I'm still starving.
00:11:48Make me some food!
00:11:49Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:50Stew?
00:11:51Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:12:06I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:12:10If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets!
00:12:12I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:12:16Daniel, I'm a billionaire!
00:12:19What?
00:12:20For real?
00:12:21Yeah!
00:12:22My makeup line took me all the way to the top!
00:12:25Donovan Cosmetics!
00:12:27I'm rich!
00:12:29Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:12:32I 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.
00:12:38You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:40You 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.
00:12:56Here we go.
00:12:57What?
00:12:58Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:13:00I don't mind.
00:13:01All of you insist.
00:13:02I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:13:04So...
00:13:05Okay.
00:13:06Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:13:12So, anyways.
00:13:13Come on, Ben.
00:13:14Let's go!
00:13:15Looks great.
00:13:16Gotcha.
00:13:17Here we go.
00:13:18Oh!
00:13:19There's Paps.
00:13:21You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:13:24Last time.
00:13:25I promise.
00:13:27You're right.
00:13:29It is the last time.
00:13:31Hey, guys.
00:13:33Hi!
00:13:35Jackson.
00:13:36Jackson.
00:13:37Well, 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.
00:13:57After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:14:07Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:14:21She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:14:26Sabrina 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, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:14:37A scene that I wrote, uncredited of course.
00:14:40Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:42Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:44Oh, well, actually, this 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?
00:14:57You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:59Your brand?
00:15:01It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:15:03You get it.
00:15:04Right?
00:15:13So, you two are a thing?
00:15:15Well, I...
00:15:16It's okay, babe.
00:15:17We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:15:19This is so going viral.
00:15:20I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:15:22It looks like more than dating.
00:15:23Are...
00:15:24Is this your son?
00:15:25I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:26Don't be silly.
00:15:27You have a dad and he's a sissy.
00:15:28That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:30He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:32But Preston is awesome.
00:15:34He's an action spy.
00:15:35I wish he was my dad.
00:15:36My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:38Well, we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from
00:15:39a Hollywood after party with a call girl.
00:15:40It's okay, buddy.
00:15:41Every spy needs a partner.
00:15:42I'll call you a big boy.
00:15:43You don't have to be in a big boy.
00:15:44You don't have to be in a big boy.
00:15:45There's no big boy.
00:15:46You don't have to be in a big boy.
00:15:47I gotta go to my dad.
00:15:48You don't have to be in a big boy.
00:15:49I'm a big boy.
00:15:50You have to be in a big boy.
00:15:51No, I'm a big boy.
00:15:52You don't have to be in a big boy.
00:15:53You have to be in a big boy.
00:15:54I'm a big boy.
00:15:55Well, we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party with a call girl
00:16:02It's okay, buddy. Every spy needs a partner in crime. If you want me around
00:16:07I'm in that is if mom's school is it. Oh, Preston. I don't know Daniel. He you know, he's
00:16:14What are you doing?
00:16:18Come on, let's give Michelle
00:16:25Now that's a Hollywood couple
00:16:38I told you this divorce was a mistake. Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing
00:16:47Daniel
00:16:50You know, it's probably for the best and the sound of it
00:16:54Your own son doesn't even want to be around you
00:16:57Daniel he's here. He did he see us it is he looking over here?
00:17:01Oh, that's not good. I was just doing that for policy
00:17:04I didn't mean for him to see us. Actually, it was perfect timing once that losers out of the picture Sabrina and her money are all mine
00:17:11Who cares about him mommy now you can be with mr. Preston Jackson enough?
00:17:17What do I do? Well, that's it then
00:17:20Now I need to handle Sabrina for me to leverage her relationship with Preston with the tabloids
00:17:26I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you
00:17:29You're really good at that. Oh, I have a parting gift for you a
00:17:35One-way ticket so you can get as far away from this family as possible
00:17:40I know the contract is over but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans I
00:17:46Will come after you with everything I got Daniel loves me. He has to understand. This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job
00:17:55Daniel I can explain
00:18:02Dana, what is this I can't let her create a public scene all 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 a vacation finally you're paying attention
00:18:24Yeah, I'm gonna leave in a few days. Well, thanks for telling your wife
00:18:29What are we supposed to do without you without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:32That's not what I meant. Whoa looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here. It's fine
00:18:37Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit just like any good husband would
00:18:42I see is it me as my presence hurting your ego. I wouldn't put jealousy past him
00:18:49I always knew you were the self-loathing type. You know what?
00:18:52Maybe I should go. I don't want to get between the two of you. No, please stay. I want you to live with us forever and ever
00:18:59No, you know what I'll go
00:19:01And clearly she wants you willing to dance to his tune. Daniel wait
00:19:07I won't ever let you go. He won't leave he promised
00:19:12It doesn't have to be like this we could pull up a chair and we can
00:19:17I'm gonna go back
00:19:21Daniel
00:19:23Oh good, you're up. Um after dinner. We went to an a-lister party in bel-air
00:19:42Don't look at me like that. I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun
00:19:47Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone
00:19:50I'm lucky for him. He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk
00:19:56Daniel whatever you saw at the restaurant. It's not like that
00:19:59listen, man, I
00:20:01Have had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened. You can trust me
00:20:11All right
00:20:13Daniel seriously listen, man. I I when you're gone. I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife
00:20:22I'm gonna be the best man of the house
00:20:27Ignore him. He doesn't know what he's saying
00:20:29No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind. Daniel. You don't have to be so jealous jealous
00:20:37My god, you still don't get it do you
00:20:40Whatever, I'm going to bed
00:20:44You know
00:20:46I 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 Daniel
00:20:58Can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:21:03God, God you're unbelievable
00:21:09Are you really gonna ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex
00:21:12No, it's not like that
00:21:15I
00:21:16What?
00:21:17You know what? Fine
00:21:19You two look great together
00:21:23Daniel
00:21:24And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work
00:21:38Um
00:21:47I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are
00:21:51Without me you can't even find a kettle or a towel
00:21:53I was never the homemaker
00:21:56I was never the homemaker
00:22:01Please Daniel
00:22:02I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me
00:22:17If you're sick, can you go in the other room? I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss
00:22:30Look at that
00:22:39Look at her now
00:22:41Playing house for another man
00:22:43If only she worked this hard at being a wife, wouldn't it actually matter?
00:22:46It actually mattered.
00:23:02There he is.
00:23:05God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m., man.
00:23:08No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:23:11Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:23:13I got some.
00:23:16Yeah.
00:23:17What do you need? Oh, oh.
00:23:19Yeah, there you go.
00:23:20I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:23:23Yeah, this shit's straight-up protein.
00:23:25Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:31Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of you last night, right?
00:23:36You're not? A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:39Why 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! I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me! And it's unfair!
00:24:06That's a shame, huh? You know what? Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:24:10Here we go.
00:24:11Ooh!
00:24:13No!
00:24:15Not to play with them!
00:24:17You never let me do anything!
00:24:20Come 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.
00:24:32Yeah? What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:35You're so annoying!
00:24:38Don't push!
00:24:44I said don't push. Go 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, what the hell?
00:24:52You just shot me.
00:24:57Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:59He's not your kid.
00:25:01I wish I was!
00:25:02I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:25:05I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:25:08Ouch!
00:25:09I mean, you just heard your son.
00:25:10So why don't you make this little vacay of yours, Herman?
00:25:13Maybe it will be.
00:25:14But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:18You?
00:25:19Man of the house, please.
00:25:21You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:22I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:27And you're a washed up pack!
00:25:28Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:30How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:32I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:25:34I'm a fucking star!
00:25:36A star?
00:25:37A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:41Jackson, come on.
00:25:42I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:43No, I'm not going!
00:25:45Preston's way cooler than you!
00:25:47Preston! Preston!
00:25:48Preston! Preston!
00:25:49Preston!
00:25:50Preston!
00:26:09You know there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood?
00:26:12You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:15What was that?
00:26:23Daniel!
00:26:24What is happening?
00:26:26It was Dad, Mom.
00:26:27Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:29What?
00:26:30You're so scared.
00:26:30That'd be pretty good, babe.
00:26:32What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:34I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:35I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:36What?
00:26:37I didn't?
00:26:38Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:40You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:42I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:44He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:45It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:47Grow up.
00:26:48Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:50What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:52What?
00:26:53Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:56Maybe I should go.
00:26:58I'm sorry.
00:26:58No.
00:26:59Oh, my God.
00:27:01He's lying.
00:27:03You're a monster.
00:27:05And in front of your son?
00:27:07You have to be kidding.
00:27:09We have to get you to the hospital.
00:27:10Yeah.
00:27:10We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:14Come on.
00:27:15Clean this up.
00:27:18Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:22She's mine now, loser.
00:27:24You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight.
00:27:54To pump you with liquids.
00:27:55To be honest, I could use a break from home.
00:27:59Trouble with the missus?
00:28:02Yeah.
00:28:04Pretty obvious.
00:28:05Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:28:08I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:28:15True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:19I've been obsessed with them since breaking the eyes.
00:28:22You said, um, a couple?
00:28:24I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:28:30She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:34She was so sweet.
00:28:36You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:43No, it's an old wound.
00:28:47I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:50Daniel!
00:28:51Sweet and caring, so Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:58He only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:29:08Fuck it.
00:29:10I'm going to get my shit and go.
00:29:13Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:15You once liked my short film.
00:29:16I have a script I've been sitting on, and...
00:29:27It needs the right producer.
00:29:28I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:33Where have you been?
00:29:34I kept calling.
00:29:36I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:39Huh?
00:29:43What? I've been busy.
00:29:44Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:47Uh, seriously?
00:29:49Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:51I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:55Yeah.
00:29:56That's what you want to call it?
00:29:58I... I just...
00:30:01I'm sorry, I...
00:30:03Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:30:10It is what it is.
00:30:10But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:16You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:20Then I think you should go for it.
00:30:22I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:24But, I just...
00:30:25I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:31Seriously.
00:30:33I... I care about you.
00:30:34I'm not mad.
00:30:41I've known you for 14 years. I know when you're angry.
00:30:44Really? I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:45I pay attention.
00:30:49Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:52She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:54That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:56A headline.
00:30:58A performance.
00:30:58Sabrina.
00:31:04Sabrina, I'm good.
00:31:05You know what?
00:31:06I hate fighting, so let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:11I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:31:17I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:20You telling me you finally read it?
00:31:22Well, yeah. The first 10 pages, but they're good.
00:31:26The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:29I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:31Me and you.
00:31:32The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:36I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:40A long time ago.
00:31:42Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:31:44and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:48Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:51There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:54I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:57Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:59Fine.
00:32:00I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:32:21I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:26That's not what I meant.
00:32:29I like it when you make it.
00:32:32I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:34I knew it.
00:32:38You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:40I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:45It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:49Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:53It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:54No, Daniel.
00:32:56No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:03Look what you made me do.
00:33:06Just leave it.
00:33:07I just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:12And what?
00:33:13It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:15I'm just trying to 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 mirror.
00:33:22We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:33What?
00:33:39Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:42Yeah, ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:43Not quite.
00:33:44That was the divorce contract.
00:33:45But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract
00:33:49and our family's NDA.
00:33:50This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:52Remember that.
00:33:53I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:34:03I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:10Oh, please.
00:34:11She's always been so secretive.
00:34:13I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:19I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:25Oh, well, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:28Ow.
00:34:29Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:34:36Do you know where she is or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:40He's been staying with us.
00:34:42Oh, really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:34:53Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:06What are you doing here?
00:35:07You never come to these things.
00:35:09Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:13Get lost.
00:35:13You embarrass us.
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:17I'm your father.
00:35:18I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:23Is there a problem?
00:35:26Oh, my God.
00:35:30That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:31How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:34If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:37I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:39You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:40Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:42You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:47I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:49That's not what I see.
00:35:51You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:59That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:02It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:05And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:09This was all a stunt, was it?
00:36:12You were revolting.
00:36:13No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:16Hey, why don't you watch your mouth?
00:36:19Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:23Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:25Oh, yeah?
00:36:26What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:28You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:36Oh!
00:36:53What the hell?
00:36:55What happened?
00:36:56Oh my god, Daniel!
00:37:00What the hell happened?
00:37:01Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:03Are you okay?
00:37:04Look at her go.
00:37:06Hollywood's finest.
00:37:08Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:11It's Daniel.
00:37:12He's a monster.
00:37:13He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:16Mommy!
00:37:17Dad came in here and started shouting at me!
00:37:20No, that's not true.
00:37:22If Preston weren't here,
00:37:23Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:27Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:30Daniel, is that true?
00:37:35Sabrina.
00:37:37Oh!
00:37:39Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:41I think one of them is broken.
00:37:44Sabrina.
00:37:45Honey.
00:37:46We need to help Preston.
00:37:50But Daniel.
00:37:53Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:56Mommy, please.
00:38:08We can't leave him.
00:38:09I...
00:38:11I have...
00:38:12I have to help Preston.
00:38:27Come on, Jackson.
00:38:34Daniel!
00:38:36I got you.
00:38:37Don't let me go!
00:38:39She's made her choice.
00:38:41There's no going back.
00:38:42We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:54Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:59Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:01I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:03There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:08Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:10In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:13If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:17I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it.
00:39:34Just drive.
00:39:48I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:51Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:53Seriously?
00:39:56Slow down.
00:39:57I know.
00:39:58What is he doing?
00:40:00I'm gonna go call the doctor, okay?
00:40:04What are you doing?
00:40:05I thought you were hurt.
00:40:07I think I'll pull through.
00:40:15So what are you doing?
00:40:17Well, I've always wanted to.
00:40:19Come on.
00:40:19I know you want this.
00:40:20I see the way you look at me.
00:40:22And now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:40:26I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:38What am I doing?
00:40:40Daniel is still injured.
00:40:42He should be home.
00:40:46Sabrina?
00:40:46Listen, get off.
00:40:59What?
00:41:00Babe, we can finally come on.
00:41:02I said get off.
00:41:03What?
00:41:03I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:05No, forget about him.
00:41:07Look, I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:13I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:16I mean, come on.
00:41:17Sabrina, your son, your mother, even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:24Look, he's already moved on.
00:41:29No.
00:41:30What have I done?
00:41:32Where is he?
00:41:33What about me?
00:41:34You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:41:37I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:45Hello?
00:41:46Excuse me.
00:41:48Excuse me.
00:41:49Hi.
00:41:49Have you seen my husband?
00:41:52Please.
00:41:52He was the one bleeding out.
00:41:54I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:58He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:04Daniel, where are you?
00:42:05I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:09Please try again later.
00:42:12What have I done?
00:42:23Come on, Daniel.
00:42:25Answer me.
00:42:28He's not gone.
00:42:33I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:44He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:42:48No.
00:42:51It's not possible.
00:42:53He will be back.
00:42:54No.
00:43:07Boy, it's all assets.
00:43:09Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:43:12The waves all spousal support.
00:43:15No.
00:43:15No, he can't leave me.
00:43:17He can't do this to me.
00:43:19I won't sign off on it.
00:43:30No.
00:43:32All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:43:35It can't be.
00:43:49It can't be.
00:43:52It's not a...
00:43:53Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:43:55My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:57He loves me.
00:43:59He loves Jackson.
00:44:01He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:03We're his family.
00:44:04And after all these years, everything we've been through.
00:44:08I got you.
00:44:31Don't let me go.
00:44:33Don't let me go.
00:44:34Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:40Daniel?
00:44:41No, it's Mom.
00:44:42Is everything okay?
00:44:43You sound panicked.
00:44:44Mom.
00:44:47Mom.
00:44:48Daniel.
00:44:50He just left us.
00:44:53Do you know where he is?
00:44:55We have to find him.
00:44:56We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:58Oh, honey.
00:45:00It's over.
00:45:01Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:03You knew?
00:45:05I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:15I'm hungry!
00:45:17Dad!
00:45:18Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:21Jackson?
00:45:24I have something to tell you.
00:45:28Your dad.
00:45:31Your dad.
00:45:33He's left us.
00:45:35I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:37Yay!
00:45:38He's gone!
00:45:38He's gone!
00:45:40Why would you say that?
00:45:42He was so embarrassing.
00:45:43Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:45:45Mr. Eastwood?
00:45:47What did Preston say?
00:45:48He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets, then raising a young man.
00:45:54He was so lame and boring.
00:45:57Now he's gone!
00:45:58Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:01He 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!
00:46:08Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:16Hello?
00:46:17Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:19Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:23I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:25Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:46:30No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:35Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:46:42Okay? He's not the man you think he is.
00:46:44Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:46:48And we need to find him at all costs.
00:46:51What kind of coward abandons his family, huh?
00:46:54It's despicable.
00:46:56I can't do this anymore.
00:46:58I cancel everything.
00:47:01The interviews and the red carpets, I don't want to be seen.
00:47:06I can't pretend.
00:47:08I just want him back.
00:47:09Oh, honey.
00:47:12It's time to let him go.
00:47:14You don't love him anyway.
00:47:17Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:22What?
00:47:23How could you say something like that?
00:47:26Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:28He cares for me. He sees me. He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:35But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:38Daniel's my husband and the father of my son.
00:47:41Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice,
00:47:45wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:47:48Contract?
00:47:50What contract?
00:47:52What are you talking about?
00:47:58Forget it. Forget it.
00:48:00Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:01When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day,
00:48:05you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:07Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:09Please. I just want the truth.
00:48:12Mom.
00:48:14Fine.
00:48:15I will tell you the truth.
00:48:17But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:22I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:25But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:31When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:34I had to save you.
00:48:36She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:48:38You've always been there for her.
00:48:42From film school to now.
00:48:44I've seen it.
00:48:45She needs you.
00:48:47Stay.
00:48:48Marry her.
00:48:48Love her.
00:48:50So that she's never alone again.
00:48:58It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:02How could you do this to me?
00:49:04I wanted to protect you.
00:49:06You wanted to control me.
00:49:08All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:11Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:17You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:20Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:22He kept you together.
00:49:24Where?
00:49:25Where did he go?
00:49:27I know he told you where he went.
00:49:29Where is he?
00:49:30You can do better than him.
00:49:32You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:49:36Believe me, it's for the best.
00:49:38No!
00:49:39He can't be gone!
00:49:40He can't!
00:49:41Yes!
00:49:42He is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:49:45He can't be!
00:49:46He can't be gone!
00:49:47He can't!
00:49:48He can't be gone!
00:50:08I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:15Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:23Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:27What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:30Um, honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shtet.
00:50:33Nobody told me how.
00:50:35Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:50:38I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:50:39Uh, yeah, um, god, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:50:47I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:50:49But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:57Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:02Hollywood.
00:51:06Get out of the country.
00:51:08If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:51:12I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:14I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:32He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:51:35Daniel is a true auteur, and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:51:42That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe award-winning actress,
00:51:47and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:51:51Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:55We'll never tell.
00:51:59Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:52:01She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:03I know, jeez.
00:52:05This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:08I can.
00:52:08Jen, the moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:14Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:17And get used to compliments.
00:52:20There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:21Fuck.
00:52:22Finish me, I know.
00:52:23I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:27You okay?
00:52:29You always do that when you're nervous.
00:52:30Yeah, I know.
00:52:31It's, um, we'll have it.
00:52:34Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:52:38Some of us just got a head start.
00:52:39Matthew, all press is good press.
00:52:54Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:53:04bitch?
00:53:06He can't do this to me.
00:53:08Sabrina.
00:53:08You don't need him.
00:53:10Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:12How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:15Move on?
00:53:16Please, honey.
00:53:18He is using her.
00:53:20Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:23He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:25How could you say that?
00:53:27I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:53:31He's proving that to the whole world.
00:53:33Don't you see it?
00:53:34Sabrina.
00:53:36Look at what you've got.
00:53:38A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:53:43Well, when he's not whining.
00:53:45And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:53:48You have everything.
00:53:50I don't have him.
00:53:53Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:54Go have the chef make something.
00:53:56No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:59Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:01Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:03He's your dad.
00:54:04No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:07Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:10It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:12When did he get so cruel?
00:54:14You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:18A doormat.
00:54:20Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:21Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:23Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:23Enough!
00:54:24You little shit!
00:54:27Enough!
00:54:28Just enough!
00:54:29Sabrina?
00:54:31What's gotten into you?
00:54:32Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:54:35Whoa.
00:54:37What's going on here?
00:54:38This room feels really tense.
00:54:40Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:54:42I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:54:44No.
00:54:44I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:54:47And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a time out.
00:54:50It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:57Hey, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:01Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:02Really?
00:55:03Loser?
00:55:04Yeah.
00:55:04You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:08And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:16That's really, really low.
00:55:18Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing
00:55:22in the last year.
00:55:24Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:55:26To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:55:29Face it, Preston.
00:55:30You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:55:34And you're a fucking thief.
00:55:36Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:55:38You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:55:40I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:55:43Because you know what?
00:55:44Honestly, I pity you.
00:55:46It's not like that, okay?
00:55:48Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:51I want to marry you.
00:55:52We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:55What's my birthday?
00:55:56Huh?
00:55:57What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:59What's my favorite color?
00:56:00My favorite song?
00:56:01Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:04Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:05What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:07You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:10You don't love me.
00:56:11You don't even know me.
00:56:13This isn't a relationship.
00:56:15This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:17And you know what?
00:56:18I'm done.
00:56:20Get out.
00:56:21I don't want to ever see you again.
00:56:23We're over.
00:56:25No, babe, babe, come on, please.
00:56:28Please, I love you.
00:56:28Just, just think about it.
00:56:30Look at the press.
00:56:31What this will look like?
00:56:33If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:56:37Get out.
00:56:37Babe, just.
00:56:38Now.
00:56:39Just give me your hand.
00:56:40Come on.
00:56:40No.
00:56:41I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:56:45Nobody sees the real me.
00:56:46I see you, Sabrina.
00:56:48I see all of you.
00:56:49And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:53He truly knew me.
00:56:56He loved me.
00:56:58Every flaw.
00:57:00Every fear.
00:57:01Contract or not.
00:57:03He 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.
00:57:11Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:14And he saved me from you.
00:57:18Security!
00:57:20Security!
00:57:21Come on.
00:57:21Just let's talk about this.
00:57:23No, just.
00:57:24Come on.
00:57:25Celeste, do something!
00:57:27Sabrina!
00:57:28Come on, Sabrina!
00:57:30Was that really necessary?
00:57:32I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:57:36Is that all you care about?
00:57:38The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:57:41God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:57:47Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:50Of course I care about you.
00:57:52I love you.
00:57:54Then prove it.
00:57:56If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:06You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:14I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:16In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:58:22I mean, you know this.
00:58:23You're a legend.
00:58:25I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:58:26All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:58:28You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:58:30I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:58:32I got projects.
00:58:33Come on.
00:58:34You're built for billion dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters.
00:58:38The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:58:40That's where you belong.
00:58:42To be honest, I already did LA.
00:58:45It didn't really end well.
00:58:46Let me guess.
00:58:47A girl?
00:58:48If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:53You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:56You can become a household name and I can get you there.
00:59:00You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:01Three picture deal.
00:59:03Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:04Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:07I don't know what to say.
00:59:08I'll just say yes.
00:59:09You have my number.
00:59:10Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:13Just remember, Daniel, you can't run away from the past.
00:59:15You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:59:17Hey, it's been a while.
00:59:31Can we talk?
00:59:32Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:59:37Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:59:43Is this a personal story?
00:59:45Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:59:48Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:52Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:54You arrogant little shit.
00:59:59I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:09It's Celeste Donovan.
01:00:10I need a favor.
01:00:11I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:00:17It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:22Mom, what are you doing?
01:00:27Did you just break my TV?
01:00:29Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:00:32You know I'm not supposed to do that.
01:00:34You've been so kind though.
01:00:35Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:00:40He's back.
01:00:43Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:44Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:00:47I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:50I need to get on that movie.
01:00:51Absolutely not.
01:00:53You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:55If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:58Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:01He still loves me.
01:01:04He has to.
01:01:06I just need to talk to him.
01:01:07Let him go.
01:01:11Mom.
01:01:13Honey, I...
01:01:15You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:01:18I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:01:21I love you.
01:01:25I love you too.
01:01:29Here we go.
01:01:31This is, um, it's another movie deal.
01:01:34I'll tell you about it after.
01:01:35Did you get his location?
01:01:53The Oaks, 8 p.m.
01:01:55After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:00He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:12She's not protecting me.
01:02:14She's protecting her business.
01:02:16And I'm just a pawn.
01:02:18But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:02:22So nice having you back.
01:02:24And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:02:26Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:02:28A couple?
01:02:30Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:02:33If you can even call them that.
01:02:35But you're healthy now.
01:02:36And I'm at the top of my career.
01:02:38I mean, yeah, there was a time that I, I love Sabrina.
01:02:41But I really thought I could make it work.
01:02:43The marriage, the kids.
01:02:45I mean, we really tried.
01:02:47I thought I could make it go for it.
01:02:48But, um, it's over.
01:02:52It's over.
01:02:53I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks
01:02:56press Cindy Swit can offer.
01:02:57Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:08She dumped him.
01:03:09It was all over People Magazine.
01:03:11She ended it when his star faded.
01:03:15Oh my god, what?
01:03:22Daniel!
01:03:25Stop!
01:03:27Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:03:35I'm here to help you.
01:03:36Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:03:39Let's go home.
01:03:40Sabrina?
01:03:41How could you?
01:03:42What?
01:03:42I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition,
01:03:45but he said no.
01:03:46I begged and pleaded.
01:03:48Stop lying.
01:03:49I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:53And I'll bet you called the paparazzi too
01:03:55to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:59My god, you're disgusting.
01:04:01I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:03Not anymore.
01:04:04Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:08I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:04:12I'm your mother.
01:04:14I only want what's best for you.
01:04:17What's best for me?
01:04:20You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:04:24That all ends today.
01:04:30You're fired.
01:04:32Fired.
01:04:34No.
01:04:36No.
01:04:41No.
01:04:43You can't do this to me.
01:04:44Please, please, sweetie.
01:04:45I have dedicated my life to you.
01:04:47You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:50I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:54You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:57There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:01I made you.
01:05:02You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:04I think she'll do just fine.
01:05:15We're done here, Mom.
01:05:17If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:05:24Without another word.
01:05:34I have something to say.
01:05:40I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:42I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:05:45I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:50I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:59Apologize to your father.
01:06:01Do I have to?
01:06:02Who raised you?
01:06:05Cared for you?
01:06:08Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:06:11Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:06:15He did.
01:06:16He loved you.
01:06:18But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:06:20I was wrong.
01:06:21Jackson, he gave us 10 years of his life and we abused it.
01:06:26And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:06:29I'm sorry, Dad.
01:06:35It's gonna be okay, son.
01:06:36I still love you.
01:06:38Okay.
01:06:39Come on Jackson, let's go.
01:06:41I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:50For everything.
01:07:00I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:02You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:04I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:07:08They hurt you, Daniel.
01:07:11They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:07:16People can change, but that doesn't change the past.
01:07:27And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:07:32Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing
01:07:41and directing sat on the shelf for 10 years?
01:07:43Yes.
01:07:44I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:48But okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:53I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:03Way to go, John!
01:08:18Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:08:25We'll keep in touch.
01:08:32How many more do we have today?
01:08:3440, sir.
01:08:35Geez.
01:08:36Hey, boy!
01:08:37How are we looking?
01:08:38We're still digging.
01:08:40No one's cracked the lead yet.
01:08:43I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:08:46All right, here's the deal.
01:08:47The studio is on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:51Today?
01:08:52Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:53That's why I love you, man.
01:08:55Cool under pressure.
01:08:56This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:09:02Oh my god.
01:09:03All right, just bring in the next one.
01:09:05But that would be Emily Blake.
01:09:11Emily.
01:09:11Emily, amazing as always.
01:09:19You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:09:22Please.
01:09:23I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:09:26How's L.A. treating you?
01:09:29Oh my god.
01:09:30Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:09:33But I am, I'm glad to be back.
01:09:36Well, it's no English countryside.
01:09:38Yeah.
01:09:39But it suits you.
01:09:40You definitely belong here.
01:09:45I do miss you though.
01:09:47It was fun.
01:09:49Playing the part.
01:09:50British starlet.
01:09:52American director.
01:09:54I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:59Waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:02I'm sorry, Emily.
01:10:04Just cast me and we'll call it even.
01:10:07You, you were amazing as always.
01:10:10It's just, it's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:10:16I never was, was I?
01:10:19Anyways, got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:10:22Maybe I'll see you around?
01:10:24Yeah.
01:10:37Give me a copy and you know what?
01:10:39Go get one for yourself too.
01:10:42And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:44Oh my god, what am I going to do?
01:10:58That was quick.
01:10:59What are you doing here?
01:11:12I came to audition.
01:11:16Did you bring any representation?
01:11:17No.
01:11:19I fired my manager, remember?
01:11:22I'm starting fresh.
01:11:23Right, um.
01:11:27Hi.
01:11:29I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:11:33Don't let me go.
01:11:34I got you.
01:11:36I'll never let you go.
01:11:39Are you okay?
01:11:40Yeah.
01:11:41It's an old wound that, um, never really healed.
01:11:47I understand.
01:11:48Daniel Johnson.
01:11:55Nice to meet you.
01:11:58Please.
01:12:07Whenever you're ready.
01:12:18Thanks for watching.
01:12:44Namely Johnson.
01:12:45You'll be right.
