00:00:00He has to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:09That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I got my way back.
00:00:28Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:41You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:47Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:00:55The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:02I'll always love my son.
00:01:03But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:07You didn't still worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:25You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now.
00:01:31Stay. Marry her.
00:01:34Love her.
00:01:36So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:41And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:55Mom. Daniel.
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:02What's going on?
00:02:04Honey.
00:02:05I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:10If the paparazzi catch him next to you.
00:02:13But I need to go.
00:02:15I have an appointment with your child.
00:02:18Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:23Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:30Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:32Ugh.
00:02:33Can it wait?
00:02:34I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:46I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:49And then he cheated on you.
00:02:50And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:52I'm starving.
00:02:53When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No!
00:03:00I want to eat now!
00:03:02You always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:23I got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:29Ew!
00:03:30What is this?
00:03:31It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:34I don't want healthy food.
00:03:35I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:36Chicken nuggets.
00:03:37Chicken nuggets.
00:03:38You can't have that every day.
00:03:40It's not healthy for you.
00:03:41But I want that.
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:00I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:05And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:13Enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:17I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:27Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:43Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:45We'll get you some real food.
00:04:47Seriously, their only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:55I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:01How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:05It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:08Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:11Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:21Yeah, you get it.
00:05:24Love you.
00:05:26I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:44The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:46We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:48I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:51After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, Mom.
00:06:07How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:10I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:18I'm just trying to help.
00:06:19I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, Mom.
00:06:34And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:43You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, Mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:06:59Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:17All right, cut.
00:07:23All right, cut.
00:07:24That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was the rising star.
00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:35Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:39If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:44We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:58We're on a wrap.
00:07:59We're on a wrap.
00:08:03We're on a wrap.
00:08:03We're on a wrap.
00:08:04We're on a wrap.
00:08:06You destroyed me.
00:08:17Rest in...
00:08:19You said the left.
00:08:33Kariya, don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:42Just...
00:08:45Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:01Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:04No!
00:09:05Don't let me go!
00:09:07I won't ever let you go.
00:09:14I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:17Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:18I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:20I see all of you.
00:09:23And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:26Good to see you.
00:09:27Good to see you.
00:09:28Oh, my gosh.
00:09:29How long has it been?
00:09:30Oh, too long.
00:09:31Look at you.
00:09:32Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:33Of course, babe.
00:09:34Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:35Are you kidding?
00:09:36Oh, Daniel.
00:09:37Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:39Oh, there he is.
00:09:40The assistant.
00:09:41I'll tell you what.
00:09:42There's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:46How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:49Stop.
00:09:50I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:09Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:12Daniel.
00:10:13Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:15No, it's fine.
00:10:16I'm sorry.
00:10:17You played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough.
00:10:22He's Brett Steele tough.
00:10:24You think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:27He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:32What are you saying, huh?
00:10:33Yeah.
00:10:34Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:38It's fine.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:41Just relax, okay?
00:10:43Be nice.
00:10:47Some people never change.
00:10:54But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:00Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:03But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:13Oh, I'm careful.
00:11:15You all right?
00:11:18I'm still starving.
00:11:20Make me some food.
00:11:21Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:24Stew?
00:11:25Ew.
00:11:26Ew.
00:11:27What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:28I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:31Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:34I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:38Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:41Well, babe, for real?
00:11:43Yeah.
00:11:44My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:48Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:50Rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:55I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:01You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:03You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:04They were so dull.
00:12:05Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:09Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:14So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:18My treat.
00:12:19Here we go.
00:12:20What to do?
00:12:21Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:23I don't mind.
00:12:24I'll let you insist.
00:12:25I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:26So...
00:12:27Okay.
00:12:28Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:35So...
00:12:36Anyways.
00:12:37Come on, Ben.
00:12:38Let's go.
00:12:39That's great.
00:12:40Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:43There's Paps.
00:12:45You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:47Last time.
00:12:48I promise.
00:12:50You're right.
00:12:52It is the last time.
00:12:54You guys?
00:12:55Hi.
00:12:56Jackson.
00:12:57Jackson.
00:12:58Yes.
00:12:59Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:01Contract sign.
00:13:02It's open.
00:13:03Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:05I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:07Is there ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:08No.
00:13:09No.
00:13:10No.
00:13:11No.
00:13:12No.
00:13:13No.
00:13:14No.
00:13:15No.
00:13:16No.
00:13:17No.
00:13:18No.
00:13:19No.
00:13:20No.
00:13:21No.
00:13:22No.
00:13:23It's a ten years of heartbreak.
00:13:24I don't care why walk away without a ...
00:13:29Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:51Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together
00:13:59since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00Oh, gee, I used to always replay that scene
00:14:02where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:04A scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:10Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:14All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:24You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:27Your brand?
00:14:27It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:30You get it, right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43It's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:46This is so going viral.
00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:58It looks like more than dating.
00:15:00Are...
00:15:01Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:06You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:09That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:10He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:14But Preston is awesome.
00:15:17He's an action spy.
00:15:18I wish he was my dad.
00:15:21My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:15:29after party with a call girl.
00:15:30It's okay, buddy.
00:15:31Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if mom's school is it.
00:15:39Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:40Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on, let's give him a show.
00:15:49Come on.
00:15:49Come on.
00:15:49Come on.
00:16:00Now, that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23On the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:27Daniel, he's here.
00:16:28Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:31Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:32I was just doing that for Melissa.
00:16:34It didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:41Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:49Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:00You're really good at that.
00:17:02Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:17I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:22This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:44Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:47We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:52A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09That's fine.
00:18:10Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:13Just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look how you see.
00:18:17Is it me?
00:18:18Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:24You know what?
00:18:25Maybe I should go.
00:18:26I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:29I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:33No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:37Going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:39I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:50I'm going to go back.
00:18:55Daniel!
00:19:00Let them here.
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:05Oh, good.
00:19:08You're up.
00:19:10After dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:15It was fun.
00:19:17Don't look at me like that.
00:19:18I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:21Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:30Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:34Listen, man, I...
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her, and nothing happened.
00:19:40You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're...
00:19:45You need to write down.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:50Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:52I...
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:58I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:08Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:10Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:16Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:17You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:27That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:33Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:39God.
00:20:41God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:42Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:50No, it's not like that.
00:20:52I...
00:20:52What?
00:20:55You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:00Daniel, I...
00:21:12And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:21Um...
00:21:22I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:34I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:42I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:00If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:03I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:06Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:26There he is.
00:22:45God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:48Man.
00:22:49No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:53I got some.
00:22:58What do you need?
00:22:59Oh, oh.
00:23:00Yeah, there you go.
00:23:02I don't need some of this shit, but...
00:23:03I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:04Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:06Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:08Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:18No.
00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:22Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:24It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:40What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:42Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:43I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:47And it's unfair!
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:50Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:53Ooh.
00:23:55No!
00:23:57Not to play with that.
00:23:59You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:08It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:15Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:18You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:23I said don't push.
00:24:28Go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:31He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-serving like you.
00:24:35You're not the house.
00:24:36You're not the house.
00:24:36You're just a zombie.
00:24:40Call it a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:42He's not your kid.
00:24:44I wish I was.
00:24:46I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:51Ouch.
00:24:52I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:54So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:57I don't think.
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:02Man of the house, please.
00:25:05You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed apart.
00:25:12Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:14How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:16I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star.
00:25:20A star?
00:25:21A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:25Jackson, come on.
00:25:26I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:28No, I'm not going.
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston.
00:25:46You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:09Daniel!
00:26:10What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom.
00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:15I'm so scared.
00:26:16That would be pretty good, babe.
00:26:18What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:21I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:22What?
00:26:23I didn't?
00:26:24Dude, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:28I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:33Bro, I'm up.
00:26:34Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What?
00:26:39Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:43Maybe I should go.
00:26:44I'm sorry.
00:26:45No.
00:26:46Oh, my God.
00:26:48He's lying.
00:26:50You're a monster.
00:26:52And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding.
00:26:55We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57Sure.
00:26:58We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:02Clean this up.
00:27:05Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:07Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:27:11You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:40So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:43To be honest, that's, I could use a break from home.
00:27:47Trouble with the missus?
00:27:49Yeah.
00:27:49It's pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:57I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:28:04True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:08I've been obsessed with them since breaking the eyes.
00:28:11You said, um, couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:28:19She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:29Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:32No, it's a small wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Daniel!
00:28:42Sweet and caring.
00:28:45So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:50and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:52Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:07I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:18It needs the right producer.
00:29:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:22Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:30Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:35I've been busy.
00:29:36I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:39Seriously?
00:29:40Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:50I, I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry, I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what it is.
00:30:04But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:11And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:17But I just, I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:25I, I care about you.
00:30:27I don't know that.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:54Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking.
00:31:06We could revisit your script.
00:31:11I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah.
00:31:17The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:25Me and you.
00:31:26The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:30I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:36Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:31:39and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:43Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:52Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55What?
00:31:55I don't know what you do,
00:32:12but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:32:15and it was awful.
00:32:17Well, if I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:32:20I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:30I knew it.
00:32:34You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:48It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:52No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:02Just leave it.
00:33:05I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:09And what?
00:33:10It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I have a mirror.
00:33:20Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:36What?
00:33:38Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:40Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:41Not quite.
00:33:42That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:50Remember that.
00:33:51I'll text you the address of where it may be.
00:34:04I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:10She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere and where is her husband?
00:34:15Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:22Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:27Come here.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:33We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do 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.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:44Do 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?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:13Get lost.
00:35:14You embarrass us.
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:18I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:23Is there a problem?
00:35:30Oh, my God.
00:35:31That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:36If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:43You should probably listen to your kid and pat out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:52You showed up uninvited in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:11This was all I stopped, was it?
00:36:14You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:20How are you watching now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh, yeah?
00:36:29What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:30You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:34Hmm.
00:36:39Tom!
00:36:41What the hell?
00:36:58What happened?
00:37:01Oh my god!
00:37:02Daniel!
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:07Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:17He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy!
00:37:21Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:33Daniel, is that true?
00:37:40Sabrina.
00:37:42Oh!
00:37:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them's broken.
00:37:49Sabrina?
00:37:50Honey?
00:37:51We need to help Preston.
00:37:54But Daniel.
00:37:56Daniel.
00:37:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:01Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:15I...
00:38:16I have...
00:38:17I have to help Preston.
00:38:25Yeah.
00:38:26Come on, Jackson.
00:38:41Daniel!
00:38:42I got you.
00:38:43No, let me go!
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:47There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:55Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:08I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:20If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it.
00:39:42Just dry.
00:39:43I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:59Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:05Stay down.
00:40:07I know.
00:40:07Why is he down?
00:40:08I'm going to call the doctor, okay?
00:40:13What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:24Preston, what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:28Come on.
00:40:29I know you want this.
00:40:30I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32How that Daniel's gone.
00:40:34We have the house to ourselves.
00:40:36I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:38What am I doing?
00:40:50Daniel is still injured.
00:40:52He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Sabrina?
00:41:00Listen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally come on.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:18Look, I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:27I mean, come on, Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:31Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:35Look, he's already moved on.
00:41:39No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:43Where is he?
00:41:44What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance ten years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:51Hello?
00:41:58Excuse me.
00:42:00Excuse me.
00:42:01Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please, he was someone bleeding out.
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:10He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:12I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:22Please try again later.
00:42:25What have I done?
00:42:36Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:39Answer me.
00:42:42He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:57He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:01No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:07He will be back.
00:43:09Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero, Castillo, or Jackson.
00:43:26The waves all spousal support.
00:43:29No.
00:43:30No, he can't leave me.
00:43:32He can't do this to me.
00:43:33I won't sign off on it.
00:43:45No.
00:43:46All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:43:51No.
00:43:52It can't be.
00:44:08It's not her.
00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:12He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:19We're his family.
00:44:20And after all these years, everything we've been through...
00:44:24I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go.
00:44:50Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:58No, it's Mom.
00:44:59Is everything okay?
00:45:01He's not panicked.
00:45:01Mom.
00:45:03Mom.
00:45:05Daniel.
00:45:07He just left us.
00:45:09Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him.
00:45:13We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:15Oh, honey.
00:45:17It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry!
00:45:35Dad!
00:45:36Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:39Jackson?
00:45:40I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:49Your dad.
00:45:51He's left us.
00:45:53I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay!
00:45:56He's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01It was so embarrassing.
00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone!
00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson!
00:46:23You have a dad.
00:46:25And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:29Hello?
00:46:36Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No.
00:46:51But I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:54I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:56Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:12What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:17I can't do this anymore.
00:47:19I'll cancel everything.
00:47:22The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:24I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:29I just want him back.
00:47:31Honey.
00:47:33It's time to let him go.
00:47:35You don't love him anyway.
00:47:37And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:47Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:51He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:00Daniel's my husband.
00:48:02And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband.
00:48:05Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:48:07Wanting nothing to do with his child just because I contraended.
00:48:10Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:14Contract.
00:48:14What are you talking about?
00:48:20Forget it.
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please.
00:48:33I just want the truth.
00:48:35Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:37I will tell you the truth.
00:48:40But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:48But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:54When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:58I had to save you.
00:49:00She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:02You've always been there for her.
00:49:06From film school to now.
00:49:07I've seen it.
00:49:09She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:14So that she's never alone again.
00:49:16It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:26How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:30You wanted to control me.
00:49:32All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:37You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:45Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you where he went.
00:49:54Where is he?
00:49:55You can do better than him.
00:49:58You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:50:00Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't.
00:50:07Yes, he is gone.
00:50:08And he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone.
00:50:13He can't.
00:50:34I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere
00:50:36of how to take the silver box
00:50:38that's already generated a considerable buzz
00:50:40for its new writer-director.
00:50:44Speaking of which, there he is now,
00:50:46Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:50Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or
00:50:53at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:57Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own state.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:08Uh, yeah.
00:51:08Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:12And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:17But London?
00:51:19London lit the fire under me.
00:51:20And I feel like I found my voice.
00:51:22And it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London,
00:51:26since you're an American writer-director,
00:51:28will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:34Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name
00:51:39next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:51:41that will make your life a living hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:48Daniel?
00:51:49Daniel?
00:51:49Daniel?
00:51:51Daniel?
00:51:51Daniel?
00:51:51Daniel?
00:51:52Daniel?
00:51:53He's no good at bragging about himself,
00:52:03so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius,
00:52:09and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:12That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:52:15two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress
00:52:17and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh my god, thanks for saying that.
00:52:31She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know, jeez.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:40The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:42Daniel, enjoy this, and get used to compliments.
00:52:50There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me out of it.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:56You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01Yes.
00:53:02I'll have it.
00:53:04Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:08So the world's just got a head start.
00:53:13The world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:22I know.
00:53:24Our press is good press.
00:53:30Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:53:33and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:36You can't do this to me!
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:42Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:48Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:55He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:53:59I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:05Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:08Look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career.
00:54:12A mansion in the hills.
00:54:14An adorable kid.
00:54:15Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:17And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:19Your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't.
00:54:24Have.
00:54:25Him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:37No.
00:54:38Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:43It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:45When did he get so cruel?
00:54:47You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:51A doormat.
00:54:52Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:53Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:56Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:03Sabrina?
00:55:04What's gotten into you?
00:55:06Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:11What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:14Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:16I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:18No!
00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a time out.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:29Hey babe, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:37Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:52That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year?
00:55:59Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:01To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:04Face it, Preston.
00:56:06You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:09And you're a fucking thief!
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:16I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:19Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:28We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:32Huh?
00:56:33What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:35What's my favorite color?
00:56:36My favorite song?
00:56:38Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:40Oh, oh wait.
00:56:41What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:43You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:46You don't love me.
00:56:47You don't even know me.
00:56:49This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:54And you know what?
00:56:55I'm done.
00:56:56Get out!
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:00We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:03Hey, babe, come on, please.
00:57:05Please, I love you.
00:57:06Just think about it.
00:57:07Look at the press, what this will look like.
00:57:10If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey, just...
00:57:17Now!
00:57:18Just give me your hand, come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:57:31He truly knew me.
00:57:35He loved me.
00:57:37Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide!
00:57:47Saved me?
00:57:48You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:51Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:53And he saved me from you.
00:57:57Security!
00:57:59Security!
00:58:00Come on.
00:58:01Just let's talk about this.
00:58:02No.
00:58:03Come on.
00:58:04Celeste, do something!
00:58:06Sabrina!
00:58:07Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:08Was that really necessary?
00:58:11I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:15Is that all you care about?
00:58:17The fame?
00:58:18The headlines?
00:58:19The brand deals?
00:58:20God!
00:58:21You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:29Of course I care about you.
00:58:32I love you.
00:58:34Then prove it.
00:58:35If you ever want me in front of the camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:51You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:54I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:57In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:02I mean, you know this.
00:59:04You're a legend.
00:59:05I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:07Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:08You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:11I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing alright.
00:59:13I got projects.
00:59:14Come on.
00:59:15You're built for billion dollar franchises.
00:59:17Hollywood blockbusters.
00:59:18The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:59:21That's where you belong.
00:59:22To be honest, I already did LA.
00:59:25It didn't really end well.
00:59:27Let me guess.
00:59:28My girl?
00:59:29If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:34You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:38You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:42You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:43Three picture deal.
00:59:44200 million dollar budget each.
00:59:46Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:48I don't know what to say.
00:59:50Just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:52Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:54Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:56You can't run away from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:12Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:14Can we talk?
01:00:16Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:20Of course.
01:00:21It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:26Is this a personal story?
01:00:28Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:31Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:35Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:38You arrogant little shit.
01:00:43I told you if you ever sat put in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:52It's Les Donovan.
01:00:54I need a favor.
01:00:55I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:01:01It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom?
01:01:07What are you doing?
01:01:11Did you just break my TV?
01:01:13Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:16You know how am I supposed to do that?
01:01:18You've been so kind though.
01:01:20Um, it's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:25He's back.
01:01:27Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:29Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:32I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:35I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not.
01:01:38You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:40If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:43Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:46He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:51I just need to talk to him.
