Short filmTranscript
00:00:00She has to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:00:02Sabrina was a rising star, and 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? You 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?
00:00:21Come back. Get out of Hollywood. In fact, get out of the country.
00:00:25I gave it everything I had. Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:00:31No! What have I done? He 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. You have everything.
00:00:43I don't have him.
00:00:46He still loves me. He has to. And we need to find him at all costs.
00:00:51Daniel!
00:00:55And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:01:04Daniel!
00:01:06That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:01:09Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:01:13Daniel!
00:01:14Daniel, 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. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:01:26I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:01:33Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:01:38You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:01:44Our 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. The 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. His grandmother.
00:02:03You used to worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:02:06That was a long time ago.
00:02:07America'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. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:02:19You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:02:24She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So 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. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:02:40If 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.
00:02:50Mom, Daniel. What'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.
00:03:07But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:03:11Think about it, Daniel.
00:03:16Once 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? I'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. I 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. When are we eating?
00:03:47Lunch is on the stove.
00:03:49But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:52No! I 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 that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:04:15I got something I need to tell you.
00:04:18I'll make it quick.
00:04:19This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:04:21Ew, what is this?
00:04:22It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:04:25I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:04:29You can't have that every day. It'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. I want chicken nuggets. Give me chicken nuggets.
00:04:42I want it.
00:04:42I want it.
00:04:45I waited. I 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. Just enough.
00:05:04I want a divorce.
00:05:11I want a divorce.
00:05:16Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:05:20Huh?
00:05:21I want a...
00:05:25I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:05:28Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:05:32Now go upstairs, get cleaned up, we'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?
00:05:48Another 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.
00:06:30The 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?
00:06:55Oh, 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.
00:07:10I 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, everything's going to change.
00:07:28That's wonderful, dear.
00:07:29You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:07:32Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:07:33I gotta go.
00:07:34Love you.
00:07:37What is it, Mom?
00:07:39Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:07:42Our favorite leading man.
00:07:44Come on.
00:07:51Preston 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.
00:08:07All 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.
00:08:17I was just the director's assistant.
00:08:21Our future's ahead of us.
00:08:25If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:28I'm such aicon.
00:08:42You're in.
00:08:42It's just the Joker's head.
00:08:43And you're going to think of someone else who's overworked.
00:08:45Yeah, we got our eyes for она.
00:08:47I lost my eyes.
00:08:48You're going to think of us who's overworked.
00:08:50I lost my house.
00:08:51I lost my eyes for taking care.
00:08:52I lost my eyes foraring.
00:08:54I lost my eyes foranych for me.
00:08:56You destroyed me, Preston.
00:09:03Just doesn't work.
00:09:16Sabrina, don't!
00:09:19Stay back.
00:09:20I mean it.
00:09:22Sabrina, don't do this.
00:09:24Just...
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.
00:09:54I'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.
00:10:14Good to see you!
00:10:16Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:10:18Oh, two weeks.
00:10:18My shoes!
00:10:19Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:10:23Oh my god, of course, babe.
00:10:25Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:10:26Are you kidding?
00:10:27Oh, Daniel, Preston'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.
00:11:24Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:11:38when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:41Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:11:45Oh, 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?
00:12:05Oh, what 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.
00:12:17Daniel, 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.
00:12:29Which 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.
00:12:40You realize that's why no one bought your scripts?
00:12:42They were so dull.
00:12:44Please, 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.
00:12:58What?
00:12:59Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:13:01I don't mind.
00:13:01All of you insist.
00:13:03I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:13:04Oh, and I wouldn't invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:13:12So, anyways.
00:13:14Come on, man.
00:13:14Let's go.
00:13:16Let's go.
00:13:16Gotcha.
00:13:17There we go.
00:13:19Oh.
00:13:20There's caps.
00:13:22You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:13:24Last time.
00:13:25I promise.
00:13:26You're right.
00:13:29It is the last time.
00:13:32Hey, guys.
00:13:34Hey.
00:13:35Hi.
00:13:35Jackson.
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?
00:13:53I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:58Is it ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:59I 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.
00:14:26Sabrina 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.
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.
00:15:33Is 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 a 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.
00:15:53My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:56But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:16:02It's okay, buddy.
00:16:02Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:16:05If you want me around, I'm in.
00:16:08That is, if mom's cool with it.
00:16:10Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:16:12Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:16:14Preston, what are you doing?
00:16:18Come on.
00:16:19Let's give him a show.
00:16:32Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:42Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:46Daniel!
00:16:49Daniel!
00:16:51You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:53From the sound of it, your 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, Sabrina 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!
00:17:17What do I do?
00:17:19Well, that's it then.
00:17:21Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:17:22I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:17:26I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:29You're really good at that.
00:17:31Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:34A one-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,
00:17:46I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:48Daniel loves me.
00:17:49He has to understand.
00:17:51This is Hollywood.
00:17:52It's just part of the job.
00:17:53Daniel, I can explain.
00:18:02Daniel, what is this?
00:18:05I can't let her create a public scene.
00:18:06All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:18:10Are you going somewhere?
00:18:12Honey!
00:18:13Oh, 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.
00:18:25I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:18:26Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:28What 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, look how you see.
00:18:43Is it me?
00:18:45Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:46I 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...
00:19:15I'm going to go back.
00:19:21Daniel!
00:19:25Please.
00:19:26The bed's in here.
00:19:27This is...
00:19:28Yeah.
00:19:30Oh!
00:19:32Oh, good.
00:19:34You're up.
00:19:35Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:40It's fun.
00:19:42Don'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, I...
00:20:00I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:20:05You can trust me.
00:20:07Preston, I think you're...
00:20:09You need to lay down.
00:20:11All right.
00:20:13Hey.
00:20:14Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:20:16I...
00:20:17I...
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?
00:20:34My 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.
00:20:48That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:57Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:21:01My God, you're unbelievable.
00:21:08Are 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.
00:21:22Daniel, I...
00:21:35And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:44Um...
00:21:45I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:49Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:55I was never the homemaker.
00:22:01Please, Daniel.
00:22:13I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:19If 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 don't know.
00:22:56No.
00:22:59Hi.
00:23:02Hi.
00:23:03There 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.
00:23:12Hmm.
00:23:14Got 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 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...
00:23:32You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:36No? A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:40Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:45It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:50What'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? You know what? Let me grab it 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. You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:24It's not about the money. It'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!
00:24:37Don't push.
00:24:43I 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 man-servant like you.
00:24:51God, what the hell is you just shopping?
00:24:56Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:58He's not your kid.
00:24:59I wish I would!
00:25:01I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:25:04I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:25:06Ouch!
00:25:07I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:25:09So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?
00:25:12Maybe it will be.
00:25:13But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:17You?
00:25:19Man of the house? Please.
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 agent's begging for scraps.
00:25:33I'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!
00:25:47Preston!
00:25:48Preston!
00:25:49Preston!
00:25:50You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:57What was that?
00:25:58God!
00:25:59Daniel!
00:26:00What is happening?
00:26:01It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:02Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:03What?
00:26:04You're so scared!
00:26:05That'd be pretty good, babe!
00:26:06What the hell, Daniel!
00:26:07I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:08I can't.
00:26:09I can't.
00:26:10I can't.
00:26:11I can't.
00:26:12You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:14What was that?
00:26:15Daniel!
00:26:16What is happening?
00:26:17It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:18Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:19What?
00:26:20You're so scared!
00:26:21That'd be pretty good, babe!
00:26:22What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:23I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:24He came in looking for a fight.
00:26:25What?
00:26:26I didn't?
00:26:27Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:28You're acting like a jealous child!
00:26:29I thought you were bigger than this petty shit!
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me!
00:26:31It's just a fucking fish tank!
00:26:32Grow up!
00:26:33Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:34What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:35What?
00:26:36Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:38Maybe I should go.
00:26:39I'm sorry.
00:26:40No!
00:26:41No!
00:26:42No!
00:26:43No!
00:26:44No!
00:26:45No!
00:26:46No!
00:26:47No!
00:26:48No!
00:26:49No!
00:26:50No!
00:26:51No!
00:26:52No!
00:26:53No!
00:26:54No!
00:26:55No!
00:26:56No!
00:26:57No!
00:26:58No!
00:26:59Oh my god!
00:27:01He's lying!
00:27:03You'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.
00:27:21Huh.
00:27:22She's mine now, loser.
00:27:28Hello, 9-1-1.
00:27:29What's your emergency?
00:27:30I'm bleeding out.
00:27:31I think I hit an artery.
00:27:32I need an ambulance now.
00:27:33Now!
00:27:34Now!
00:27:35You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:27:41with liquids.
00:27:42To be honest, I could use a break from home.
00:27:45Trouble with the missus?
00:27:46Uh...
00:27:47Yeah.
00:27:48It's pretty obvious.
00:27:49Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:52I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:53With Preston Eastwood.
00:27:54True love story.
00:27:55Holding hands.
00:27:56Wiping tears.
00:27:57I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:58I don't have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.
00:27:59To be honest, that's...
00:28:00I could use a break from home.
00:28:01Trouble with the missus?
00:28:02Uh...
00:28:03Yeah.
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.
00:28:13With Preston Eastwood.
00:28:15True love story.
00:28:16Holding hands.
00:28:17Wiping tears.
00:28:18I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:28:22You said, um, couple?
00:28:24I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:28:29She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:33She 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.
00:29:06Fuck!
00:29:08I'm gonna get my shit in y'all.
00:29:11Mr. 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.
00:29:26It needs the right producer.
00:29:28I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:32Where have you been?
00:29:34I kept calling.
00:29:35I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:38Huh?
00:29:43What? I've been busy.
00:29:44Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:47Seriously?
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?
00:29:58I...I just...
00:30:00I'm sorry.
00:30:01I...
00:30:02Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:30:06It is what it is.
00:30:12But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:15You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:20Then I think you should go for it.
00:30:21I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:24But...I just...I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:31Seriously.
00:30:32I...I care about you.
00:30:36I'm no man.
00:30:40I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:42I know when you're angry.
00:30:43Really? I 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.
00:30:53That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:55A headline.
00:30:57A performance.
00:30:59Sabrina.
00:31:00Sabrina.
00:31:04Sabrina, I'm good.
00:31:05You know what?
00:31:06I hate fighting.
00:31:07So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:10I was thinking...
00:31:12We could...revisit your script.
00:31:14I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:19You telling me you finally read it?
00:31:21Well, yeah.
00:31:22The first ten 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.
00:31:30Me and you.
00:31:31The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:33I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:38A long time ago.
00:31:41Well, how about you make us some lattes and 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.
00:32:22I'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.
00:32:28I like it when you make it.
00:32:31I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:36I knew it.
00:32:38You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:40I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:44It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:49Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:52It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:54No, Daniel.
00:32:55No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:56That's not what I meant.
00:33:02Look what you made me do.
00:33:04Just...
00:33:06Just leave it.
00:33:08Just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:11And what?
00:33:12It 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 premiere.
00:33:22Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:23Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:24Yeah.
00:33:25Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:26Not quite.
00:33:27That was the divorce contract.
00:33:28But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:33This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:35Remember that.
00:33:36I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:38What?
00:33:39Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:41Yeah, ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:42Not quite. That was the divorce contract.
00:33:45But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:50This is showbiz, baby. Remember that.
00:33:52I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:54I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please. She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Well, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:27Come here.
00:34:31Jackson! We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?
00:34:38She's with Mr. Eastwood. He's been staying with us.
00:34:41Oh, really?
00:34:44Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:47Oh, I hope so. I really hope so.
00:34:49He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:52Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:56Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:05What are you doing here? You never come to these things!
00:35:08Oh, that's gotta be the husband.
00:35:12Get lost! You embarrass us!
00:35:14Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.
00:35:17I wish you never were my dad!
00:35:22Is there a problem?
00:35:27Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:30How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:33If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:36I wish Preston was my dad! You're a pathetic loser!
00:35:39Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:41You should probably listen to your kid and head out,
00:35:43because you're starting to make a scene.
00:35:46I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:48That's not what I see.
00:35:49You showed up uninvited, in street rags,
00:35:53abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:57That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:01Doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.
00:36:03And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:08This was all a stunt, wasn't it?
00:36:10You were revolting.
00:36:12No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:14Hey!
00:36:16Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:36:18Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:22Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:24Oh, yeah?
00:36:25What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:26You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on
00:36:28so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:31Hmm.
00:36:36Oh!
00:36:53The hell?
00:36:54What happened?
00:36:56Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:57Are you okay?
00:36:58Look at her go.
00:36:59Hollywood's finest.
00:37:00Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:01It's Daniel.
00:37:02He's a monster.
00:37:03He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:05Mommy!
00:37:06Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:07No.
00:37:08No, that's not true.
00:37:09If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporter.
00:37:12Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:13Daniel.
00:37:14Daniel.
00:37:15Is that true?
00:37:16Sabrina.
00:37:17Oh!
00:37:18Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:19I think one of them is a monster.
00:37:20He's a monster.
00:37:21He's a monster.
00:37:22He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:23Mommy!
00:37:24Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:26But Daniel!
00:37:27Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:28Daniel.
00:37:31Is that true?
00:37:35Sabrina.
00:37:37Oh!
00:37:38Yeah, think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:41I think one of them is broken.
00:37:43Sabrina.
00:37:44Honey.
00:37:45We need to help Preston.
00:37:48But…
00:37:49Daniel!
00:37:53Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:56Come on.
00:38:06Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:09I have to help Preston.
00:38:26Come on, Jackson.
00:38:34Daniel!
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 can give her the life she's grown used to
00:38:44after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:48Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:58Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:00I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:02There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:07Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:09In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:12If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:16I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:32Don't worry about it.
00:39:33Just drive.
00:39:46I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:49Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:53Seriously?
00:39:55So long.
00:39:56I'm gonna go call the doctor, okay?
00:40:01What are you doing?
00:40:04I thought you were hurt.
00:40:05I think I'll pull through him.
00:40:07I'm gonna go call the doctor.
00:40:12I don't know.
00:40:14Russell, what are you doing?
00:40:15I don't know.
00:40:16One of ours wanted to.
00:40:17Come on.
00:40:18I know you want this.
00:40:19I see the way you look at me.
00:40:21Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself,
00:40:24we can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:28What 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? Babe, we can finally...
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, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:11I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:15I mean, come on.
00:41:16Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:19Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:21What?
00:41:22Look, he's already moved on.
00:41:25No.
00:41:26What have I done?
00:41:30Where is he?
00:41:32What about me?
00:41:33You had a chance ten years ago.
00:41:36I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:38Hello?
00:41:44Excuse 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.
00:41:53I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:57He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:58Daniel, where are you?
00:42:04I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:09Please try again later.
00:42:11What have I done?
00:42:12Come on, Daniel.
00:42:24Answer me.
00:42:30He's not gone.
00:42:32I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:34I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:38He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:42:47No.
00:42:50It's not possible.
00:42:52He will be back.
00:42:55No.
00:42:56Boy, it's all assets.
00:43:08Climb zero, custody over Jackson.
00:43:11The waves all 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.
00:43:19No.
00:43:26All this time, he's going to leave me.
00:43:48It can't be.
00:43:51It's not a...
00:43:52Honestly, it 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, everything we've been through...
00:44:09Cough.
00:44:24I got you.
00:44:30Don't let me go!
00:44:33Was 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!
00:44:50Do 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.
00:45:03You knew?
00:45:04I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:14I'm hungry!
00:45:17Dad!
00:45:17Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:20Tax him?
00:45:23I have something to tell you.
00:45:27Your dad...
00:45:29Your dad...
00:45:32He's left us.
00:45:34I'm sorry, but 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!
00:45:43Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:45:44Mr. Eastwood?
00:45:46What did Preston say?
00:45:47He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets, then raising a young man.
00:45:54He was so lame and boring.
00:45:56Now 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!
00:46:04And 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.
00:46:30But 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?
00:46:42He's not the man you think he is.
00:46:44Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:46:47And we need to find him at all costs.
00:46:50What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:54It's despicable.
00:46:55I can't do this anymore.
00:46:58I 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.
00:47:07I 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.
00:47:14And 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.
00:47:34But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:37Daniel's my husband.
00:47:39And the father of my son.
00:47:40Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with his 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.
00:48:46Stay.
00:48:47Marry her.
00:48:47Love her.
00:48:49So that she's never alone again.
00:48:51It 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?
00:49:15You 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.
00:49:33Hollywood 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.
00:49:41He is gone.
00:49:42And he is gone forever.
00:49:44He can't be.
00:49:45He can't be gone.
00:49:46He can't.
00:49:49I'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.
00:50:14Speaking 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?
00:50:29Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own sheet.
00:50:32Nobody told me how.
00:50:34Oh, man.
00:50:35How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:50:36I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:41God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:50:44And I haven't been very honest about it, actually.
00:50:46I almost gave up the dream.
00:50:48But London?
00:50:50London lit the fire under me.
00:50:51And I feel like I found my voice.
00:50:53And it really is 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 hell.
00:51:17Daniel?
00:51:30He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:51:34Daniel is a true auteur and a pretty genius.
00:51:39And 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
00:51:46actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:51:50Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:53We'll never tell.
00:51:58Oh, my God.
00:51:59Thanks for saving me.
00:52:00She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:02I know.
00:52:03Jeez.
00:52:04This is so surreal.
00:52:05I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:52:07I can.
00:52:08The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:13Daniel.
00:52:14Enjoy this.
00:52:16And get used to compliments.
00:52:19There's already Oscar buzz.
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.
00:52:33Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:52:37Some of us just got a head start.
00:52:38But, um, I'm not.
00:52:40I'm not.
00:52:52I'm not.
00:52:52I'm not.
00:52:52I'm not.
00:52:53I'm not.
00:52:53I'm not.
00:52:53I'm not.
00:52:54Daniel becomes an award-winning director
00:53:00and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:05He can't do this to me!
00:53:07Sabrina, you don't need him.
00:53:09Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:11How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:14Move on?
00:53:16Please, honey.
00:53:17He 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.
00:53:25How 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, then he's not whining.
00:53:44And 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.
00:53:56And 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!
00:54:04Preston 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!
00:54:23You little shit!
00:54:26Enough!
00:54:27Just enough!
00:54:28Sabrina?
00:54:29What's gotten into you?
00:54:31Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:54:35Whoa.
00:54:35What'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.
00:54:56Hey, babe.
00:54:57Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:00Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:01Really?
00:55:02Loser?
00:55:03Yeah.
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
00:55:10like you're their boss.
00:55:15That's really, really low.
00:55:17Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand
00:55:20and keeping it from collapsing in the last year?
00:55:23Come on.
00:55:23We'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.
00:55:37You'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.
00:55:46Okay?
00:55:47Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:49I 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.
00:56:19Get out.
00:56:20I don't want to ever see you again.
00:56:22We're over.
00:56:23We're over.
00:56:24What?
00:56:25No, babe, babe.
00:56:25Come on.
00:56:26Please.
00:56:26Please, I love you.
00:56:27Just think about it.
00:56:29Look at the press.
00:56:30What this will look like?
00:56:31If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:56:35Get out.
00:56:36Babe, 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.
00:56:44Nobody sees the real me.
00:56:45I see you, Sabrina.
00:56:47I see all of you.
00:56:49And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:51He truly knew me.
00:56:55He loved me.
00:56:57Every flaw.
00:56:59Every fear.
00:57:01Contract or not.
00:57:03He truly loved me.
00:57:05I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:07Saved me?
00:57:09You 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!
00:57:17Security!
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, do 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?
00:57:37The fame?
00:57:38The headlines?
00:57:39The brand deals?
00:57:40God.
00:57:41You're supposed to be my mother first.
00:57:43Not some money-grubbing manager.
00:57:46Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:49Of 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 made in L.A.,
00:58:38not London.
00:58:39That's where you belong.
00:58:41To be honest, I already did L.A.
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.
00:59:24Hey, it's been a while.
00:59:30Can we talk?
00:59:32Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:59:36Of course.
00:59:37It'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?
00:59:46Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:52I'll leave it at that.
00:59:55You 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 a lesson, 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.
01:00:13Okay, thank you.
01:00:16It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:20Mom?
01:00:21What are you doing?
01:00:25Did you just break my TV?
01:00:28Can 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.
01:00:34It's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:00:39He's back.
01:00:41Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:42Honey, 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.
01:00:52You'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.
01:01:07Let 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.
01:01:24I love you, too.
01:01:25This is, um...
01:01:31It's another movie deal.
01:01:33I'll tell you about it after.
01:01:34Did you get his location?
01:01:51The Oaks.
01:01:528 p.m.
01:01:53After 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.
01:02:01She'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,
01:02:18she'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?
01:02:27Oh, Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people,
01:02:32if you can even call them that.
01:02:34But 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 D's foot can offer.
01:02:57Oh, you 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.
01:03:13Oh, my God.
01:03:14What?
01:03:20Daniel!
01:03:23Stop!
01:03:24Stop!
01:03:24Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:03:33I'm here to help you.
01:03:35Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:03:38Let's go home.
01:03:39Sabrina?
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.
01:03:45I 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.
01:04:00I'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.
01:04:11I'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.
01:04:24That all ends today.
01:04:28You're fired.
01:04:30Fired.
01:04:31Fired.
01:04:32No.
01:04:35No.
01:04:39No.
01:04:41You can't do this to me.
01:04:42Please.
01:04:43Please, sweetie.
01:04:44I have dedicated my life to you.
01:04:46You 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.
01:05:15If 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.
01:05:38I'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.
01:05:48I'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.
01:06:20He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:06:25And 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 still love you.
01:06:37Okay.
01:06:37Come on, Jackson.
01:06:39Let's go.
01:06:46I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:48For everything.
01:06:58I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:01You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:02I just didn't know it'd 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.
01:07:20But that doesn't change the past.
01:07:25And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:07:32Daniel, 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.
01:07:52I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:58Way to go, John!
01:08:20Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:08:23We'll keep in touch.
01:08:24How many more do we have today?
01:08:32Forty, sir.
01:08:33Jesus.
01:08:34Hey, boy!
01:08:35How are we looking?
01:08:37We're still digging.
01:08:38Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:08:41I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:08:45All right, here's the deal.
01:08:46The 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 in the next one.
01:09:03That would be...
01:09:06Emily Blake.
01:09:09Emily.
01:09:10Amazing, 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.
01:09:58Waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:00I'm sorry, Emily.
01:10:03Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:10:06You...
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...
01:10:18Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:10:22Maybe I'll see you around.
01:10:24Yeah.
01:10:30Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:10:37Go get one for yourself, too.
01:10:40And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:48My God.
01:10:49What am I going to do?
01:10:50That was quick.
01:11:07What are you doing here?
01:11:10I came to audition.
01:11:14Did you bring any representation?
01:11:15No.
01:11:17I fired my manager, remember?
01:11:20I'm starting fresh.
01:11:22Right.
01:11:22Um...
01:11:25Hi.
01:11:27I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:11:31Don't let me go!
01:11:33I got you.
01:11:34I'll never let you go.
01:11:37Are you okay?
01:11:39Yeah.
01:11:39It's an old wound that, um...
01:11:42never really healed.
01:11:43I understand.
01:11:45I understand.
01:11:50Daniel Johnson.
01:11:53Nice to meet you.
01:11:56Please.
01:12:05Whenever you're ready...
01:12:13...
01:12:37...
01:12:38...
01:12:40...
