00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:08That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:34Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:45Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son.
00:01:00But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:13All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:16But her career is hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:21You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:25She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:34I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:40If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:57What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:01:59I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:18Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:24Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:26Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:30I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:34I saw it. Preston was there.
00:02:37I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:48Lunch is on the stove. But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:02:56You always know the spot.
00:03:07He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please. I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Fanity Fair shoot.
00:03:15I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I-
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food! I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:30You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them!
00:03:35Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:50I waited. I gave it everything I had. But it takes two to make a marriage work. And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:02Enough. Just enough.
00:04:09I want a divorce.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:21Huh?
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:26I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay? Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:41Seriously, your only job is to take care of the house and the family. I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:47What is this? Another contract? How big is the role?
00:04:53Who's directing?
00:04:55It's not a...
00:04:56Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:58Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:01Honestly, I am really at my capacity. I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:09Pull my weight?
00:05:10Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Love you.
00:05:15I've devoted myself to this family for 10 long years.
00:05:19If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:22Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:32The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct. We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:37I can't.
00:05:38My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:39After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:47At least there is one good thing to come from this. I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:54Hey, Mom. How you doing?
00:05:56Oh, good, dear. I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:01Do you need more?
00:06:02No, no, no, no, no. You've already done so much.
00:06:06I'm just trying to help.
00:06:07I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:12I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:19I am, Mom. And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:29You look wonderful, dear.
00:06:30You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:33Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:34I gotta go. Love you.
00:06:39What is it, Mom?
00:06:40Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:43Our favorite leading man.
00:06:45Come on.
00:06:46Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:55and is stealing it back again.
00:06:59Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:08All right, cut. That's a wrap, everyone. Thank you.
00:07:12We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:16Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:18I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:22Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:26If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:29They were just the first three.
00:07:38The death of her mother's golden ass.
00:07:41The death of her son.
00:07:42The death of her son.
00:07:43The death of her son.
00:07:43I don't know how she died.
00:07:45They were just the second one.
00:07:46I'm not sure how she died.
00:07:47They were just the first two.
00:07:49She's the first.
00:07:51She's the third one.
00:07:52You've destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04You're just not the one.
00:08:17Rhea, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:23Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:43No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:47No!
00:08:48Don't let me go!
00:08:50I won't ever let you go.
00:08:57I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:00Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:03I see all of you.
00:09:05And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:15Good to see ya!
00:09:16Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:18Oh, too long.
00:09:19Look at you!
00:09:20Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:24Of course, babe.
00:09:25Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:27Are you kidding?
00:09:28Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:32Oh, there he is!
00:09:34The assistant!
00:09:35I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:38God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:43Stop!
00:09:44I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:51Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:54Daniel.
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:56Don't embarrass me.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58Whoa, you played Bret Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:02He's not just tough, he's Bret Stale tough, you think, you know?
00:10:06My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch you.
00:10:08He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:10Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:13What are you saying?
00:10:14Huh?
00:10:15Yeah.
00:10:16Sabrina.
00:10:17I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20It's fine.
00:10:21It's fine.
00:10:22Just relax, okay?
00:10:24Be nice.
00:10:25Some people never change.
00:10:35But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:10:40again.
00:10:41Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:43But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:46Oh, careful.
00:10:47You all right?
00:10:48I'm still starving.
00:10:49Make me some food.
00:10:50Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:04Stew?
00:11:05Ew.
00:11:06What is this?
00:11:07A soup kitchen?
00:11:08I told you 100 times, I want chicken nuggets.
00:11:11Daniel.
00:11:12If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:14I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:17Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:20Oh, babe.
00:11:21For real?
00:11:22Yeah.
00:11:23My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:27Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:29Rich.
00:11:30Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:34I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:38See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:40You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:41You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:43They were so dull.
00:11:44Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything.
00:11:48Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:52So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:56My turn.
00:11:57Here we go.
00:11:58What?
00:11:59Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:01I don't mind.
00:12:02All of you insist.
00:12:03I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:04Okay.
00:12:05Oh.
00:12:06So.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:13So.
00:12:14Anyways.
00:12:15Come on, Ben.
00:12:16Let's go.
00:12:17Let's go.
00:12:18Gotcha.
00:12:19There we go.
00:12:20There's paps.
00:12:21You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:25Last time.
00:12:26I promise.
00:12:29You're right.
00:12:30It is the last time.
00:12:33You guys?
00:12:35Hi.
00:12:36Jackson.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:38Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:47Contract's fine.
00:12:49It's over.
00:12:51Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:54I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:12:58After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:08Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:21She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:26Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:28I could scream.
00:13:29I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:31Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.
00:13:35Oh, gee.
00:13:36I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:38A scene that I wrote.
00:13:39Uncredited, of course.
00:13:40Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:43Wait.
00:13:44Are you two dating?
00:13:45Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:48All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:56Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:13:58You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:00Your brand?
00:14:02It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:04You get it.
00:14:05Right?
00:14:14So, you two are a thing?
00:14:15Well, I...
00:14:16Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:17We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:19This is so going viral.
00:14:20I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:21It looks like more than dating.
00:14:22Is this your son?
00:14:23I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:24Don't be silly.
00:14:25You have a dad and he's a sissy.
00:14:26That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:27He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:28But Preston is awesome.
00:14:29He's an action spy.
00:14:30I wish he was my dad.
00:14:31My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:32But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:14:35after-party with a cuckoo.
00:14:36I don't know.
00:14:37I don't know.
00:14:38I don't know.
00:14:39I don't know.
00:14:40I don't know.
00:14:41I don't know.
00:14:42I don't know.
00:14:43I don't know.
00:14:44I don't know.
00:14:45I don't know.
00:14:46I don't know.
00:14:47I don't know.
00:14:48I don't know.
00:14:49I don't know.
00:14:50I don't know.
00:14:51I don't know.
00:14:52I don't know.
00:14:53I don't know what you mean.
00:14:54But Preston is awesome.
00:14:55He's an action spy.
00:14:56I wish he was my dad.
00:14:57My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:59But we'll see if Preston is the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from
00:15:01a Hollywood after-party with a cull girl.
00:15:03It's okay, buddy.
00:15:04Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:06If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:09That is if mom schools it.
00:15:11Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:13Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:15Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:18Come on.
00:15:19Let's give Michelle.
00:15:36Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:41I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:43Sabrina will end up on top.
00:15:45And you will end up with nothing.
00:15:50Daniel!
00:15:51You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:53From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:57Daniel, he's here?
00:15:59Did he see us?
00:16:00Is he looking over here?
00:16:01Oh, fuck.
00:16:02That's not good.
00:16:03I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:04I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:06Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:07Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:11Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:13Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:14Jackson, enough.
00:16:17What do I do?
00:16:19Well, that's it then.
00:16:21Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:22I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:26I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:28You're really good at that.
00:16:30Ooh!
00:16:31I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:34A one-way ticket.
00:16:37So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:40I know the contract is over.
00:16:42But if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:45I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:48Daniel loves me.
00:16:49He has to understand.
00:16:50This is Hollywood.
00:16:51It's just part of the job.
00:16:53Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:02Daniel, what is this?
00:17:05I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:07All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:10Are you going somewhere?
00:17:12Honey!
00:17:13Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:15We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:18Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:20A vacation?
00:17:21Finally.
00:17:22You're paying attention.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:25I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:17:27Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:29What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:31Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:32That's not what I meant.
00:17:33Whoa.
00:17:34Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:36That's fine.
00:17:37Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:40Just like any good husband would.
00:17:42Oh, I see.
00:17:44Is it me?
00:17:45Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:47I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:49I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:51You know what?
00:17:52Maybe I should go.
00:17:53I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:55No, please stay.
00:17:56I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:17:59No, you know what?
00:18:01I'll go.
00:18:02And clearly she wants you.
00:18:04I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:05Daniel, wait.
00:18:08I won't ever let you go.
00:18:10He won't leave.
00:18:11He promised.
00:18:12It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:14We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:17I'm gonna go back.
00:18:21Daniel!
00:18:25Please.
00:18:26Better than yours.
00:18:28Yeah.
00:18:29Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:31Oh!
00:18:33Oh, good.
00:18:34You're up.
00:18:35Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:40It's fun.
00:18:41What?
00:18:42Don't look at me like that.
00:18:44I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:46Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:50Well, but not lucky for him.
00:18:52He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:54Oh.
00:18:55Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:18:58Okay.
00:18:59Listen, man.
00:19:00I...
00:19:01I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:04You can trust me.
00:19:07Preston, I think you're...
00:19:09Mm-hmm.
00:19:10You need to go right now.
00:19:11All right.
00:19:13Oh, hey.
00:19:15Daniel, seriously.
00:19:16Listen, man.
00:19:17I...
00:19:18If you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:23I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:19:26Just ignore him.
00:19:27He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:29No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:32Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:34Jealous?
00:19:37My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:40Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:41You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:51That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:19:57Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:02Oh, my God.
00:20:04God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:06Are you really gonna ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:13No, it's not like that. I...
00:20:16What?
00:20:18You know what? Fine.
00:20:21You two look great together.
00:20:23Daniel, I...
00:20:24And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:43Um...
00:20:47I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:51Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:56I was never the homemaker.
00:21:01Please, Daniel.
00:21:14I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:17If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:24I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:26Look at her now.
00:21:40Playing house for another man.
00:21:41If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:46There he is.
00:21:49God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:21:52Man.
00:21:53No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:21:55Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:21:57Hmm.
00:21:59Hmm.
00:22:00Hmm.
00:22:01Hmm.
00:22:02Hmm.
00:22:03Hmm.
00:22:04Got some.
00:22:05Yeah.
00:22:06What do you need?
00:22:07Oh, oh.
00:22:08Yeah, there you go.
00:22:09I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:10I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:11Yeah, this shit's straight-up protein.
00:22:12Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:13Hey, uh...
00:22:14You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:18No.
00:22:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:21Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:24It's finally time to make this happen.
00:22:25It's finally time to make this happen.
00:22:27What do you need?
00:22:28Oh, oh.
00:22:29Yeah, there you go.
00:22:30I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:31I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:32Yeah, this shit's straight-up protein.
00:22:33Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:35Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:38No.
00:22:39A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:41Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:42by that. It's finally time to make this hack disappear. What's wrong, Jackson? Mr. Eastwood,
00:23:01I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me, and it's unfair. That's a shame,
00:23:07huh? You know what? Let me grab it for you, little man. Here we go. Ooh. No, it's not to play
00:23:15with that. You never let me do anything. Come on. It's just a fish tank, Daniel. You guys
00:23:23can afford an aquarium. It's not about the money. It's about him learning how to respect
00:23:27living things. Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples. Yeah? What's that supposed
00:23:34to me? You're so annoying. Don't push. I said, don't push. Go get a book or something.
00:23:46Why don't you get your hands off him? He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man servant like
00:23:51you. God, what the hell? You just shot me. Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go
00:23:58after what he wants. He's not your kid. I wish I was. I hope mom marries him so you
00:24:04can be gone forever. I hate seeing your stupid face. Ouch. I mean, you just heard your son,
00:24:11so why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent? Maybe it will be, but until
00:24:15then, I'm still the man of the house. You? Man of the house? Please. You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:23I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband. And you're a washed a pack,
00:24:28still riding on all your old headlines. How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:32I heard your agent's begging for scraps. I'm a fucking star. A star? A star that needs his
00:24:38ex to bring him back into the spotlight. Jackson, come on. I don't want you hanging around this
00:24:43clown anymore. No, I'm not going. Preston's way cooler than you. Preston, Preston, Preston.
00:24:58You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:15What was that? Daniel! What is happening? It was dad, mom. Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:30What? I'm so scared. You got me pretty good, baby. What the hell, Daniel? I just wanted to hang out
00:25:35with Jackson. I came in looking for a fight. What? I didn't? Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:40You're acting like a jealous child. I thought you were bigger than this petty shit. He threw a fish
00:25:45tank at me. It's just a fucking fish tank. Throw up. Remember we're in the public eye? What if your
00:25:51little outburst was caught by the press? What? Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:25:57Maybe I should go while I'm sorry. No. Oh my God. He's lying. You're a monster. And in front of your
00:26:06son, you have to be kidding. We have to get you to the hospital. We'll talk about this when I get
00:26:13home. Come on. Clean this up. Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again. She's mine now, loser.
00:26:24You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight.
00:26:54to pump you with liquids. To be honest, that's, I could use a break from home. Trouble with the
00:27:00missus? Uh, yeah. Pretty obvious. Most married folks that come in here are miserable. I shouldn't
00:27:10be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood. True love story, holding hands,
00:27:19wiping tears. I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice. You said, um, couple? I wasn't
00:27:27sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official. She even helped me reposition Preston
00:27:34when his IV was twisted. She was so sweet. Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:44No, it's, it's an old wound. I tore it actually, um, 10 years ago.
00:27:50Daniel! Sweet and caring. So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted. He only had to break
00:28:00her heart to get it and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:03Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me. You once liked my short film. I have a script
00:28:18I've been sitting on. It needs the right producer. I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored
00:28:31if you'd read it. Where have you been? I kept calling. I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:40Huh? What? I've been busy. Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:47Seriously? Why does it always have to come back to him? I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:56Yeah, that's what you want to call it? I, I just, I'm sorry. I, bringing Preston into our
00:29:05home was probably crossing a line. It is what it is. But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:16You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:21And I think you should go for it. I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:26But I just, I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:29Seriously. I, I care about you.
00:29:40I'm not bad.
00:29:42I've known you for 14 years. I know when you're angry.
00:29:45Really? I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:47I pay attention. Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:53She signed the papers without reading them. That's all this marriage ever was to her. A headline. A performance.
00:30:01Sabrina.
00:30:05Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:06You know what? I hate fighting. So let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:11I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:30:19I gave that to you three years ago. You tell me you finally read it?
00:30:23Well, yeah. The first 10 pages, but they're good. The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:31I mean, we have to do this. Me and you, the lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:35I gave up on that dream of us working together. A long time ago.
00:30:43Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:50Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:53There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:56I would have melted in her hands.
00:30:59Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:01Fine.
00:31:05I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:31:24Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:27That's not what I meant.
00:31:30I like it when you make it.
00:31:31I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:38I knew it.
00:31:39You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:42I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:46God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:51Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:54It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:55No, Daniel.
00:31:57No, that's not what I meant.
00:31:58Look what you made me do.
00:32:06Just leave it.
00:32:10I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:14And what?
00:32:15It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:16I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:19And look what I get for it.
00:32:21You know what?
00:32:22Forget it.
00:32:23I have a premiere.
00:32:24We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:25Okay.
00:32:25Okay.
00:32:28What?
00:32:41Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:43Yeah.
00:32:44Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:45Not quite.
00:32:46That was the divorce contract.
00:32:47But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:32:52This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:53Remember that.
00:32:54I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:06I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:12Oh, please.
00:33:13She's always been so secretive.
00:33:15I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:33:18Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:21I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:27Oh, well.
00:33:27If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:30Come here.
00:33:31Oh.
00:33:31Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:33:37Do you know where she is or who she's with?
00:33:41She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:42He's been staying with us.
00:33:44Oh.
00:33:45Really?
00:33:46Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:50Oh, I hope so.
00:33:51I really hope so.
00:33:52He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:33:55Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:33:59Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:07What are you doing here?
00:34:09You never come to these things.
00:34:11Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:14Get lost.
00:34:15You embarrass us.
00:34:16Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:19I'm your father.
00:34:20I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:25Is there a problem?
00:34:30Oh, my God.
00:34:32That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:37If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:44You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:51That's not what I see.
00:34:53You showed up uninvited.
00:34:55In street rags.
00:34:56Abuse Sabrina's kid and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:04It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:11This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:13You were revolting.
00:35:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:18Hey.
00:35:20Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:25Yeah.
00:35:26Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:27Oh, yeah?
00:35:28What lesson's that, Preston?
00:35:30You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:33Hmm.
00:35:34Mm-hmm.
00:35:56What the hell?
00:35:58What happened?
00:36:00Oh, my God! Daniel!
00:36:02What the hell happened?
00:36:04Daniel, you're bleeding. Are you okay?
00:36:06Look at her go.
00:36:08Hollywood's finest.
00:36:10Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:12It's Daniel.
00:36:14He's a monster. He found out about
00:36:16your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:18Mommy! Dad came in here
00:36:20and started shouting at me!
00:36:22No. No, that's not true.
00:36:24If Preston weren't here, Daniel
00:36:26would have manhandled Jackson in front
00:36:28of the reporters. Can you imagine
00:36:30the allegations?
00:36:32Daniel.
00:36:34Is that true?
00:36:36Sabrina.
00:36:38Oh!
00:36:40Yeah, I think
00:36:42you got me in the ribs.
00:36:44I think one of them's broken.
00:36:46Sabrina? Honey?
00:36:48We need to help Preston.
00:36:50But...
00:36:52But Daniel!
00:36:54Imagine choosing that loser
00:36:56for Preston Eastwood.
00:36:58Fuck.
00:37:00Mommy, please! We can't leave him!
00:37:02I...
00:37:04I have...
00:37:06I have to help Preston.
00:37:08I...
00:37:10I...
00:37:11I have...
00:37:12I have to help Preston.
00:37:14Come on, Jackson.
00:37:18Daniel!
00:37:20I got you.
00:37:22Don't let me go!
00:37:24She's made her choice.
00:37:26There's no going back.
00:37:28We'll see if Preston can give her the life
00:37:30she's grown used to after all these years.
00:37:32I got you.
00:37:34Don't let me go!
00:37:36She's made her choice.
00:37:38There's no going back.
00:37:40We'll see if Preston can give her the life
00:37:42she's grown used to after all these years of me
00:37:44slaving for her.
00:37:46Well...
00:37:48That went even better than I planned.
00:37:50Now we can make a clean break.
00:37:52I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:37:54There's an Uber waiting for you outside
00:37:56to take you to the airport.
00:37:58Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:00I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:02There's an Uber waiting for you outside
00:38:04to take you to the airport.
00:38:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:08I decide to take you to the airport.
00:38:10Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:12In fact,
00:38:14get out of the country.
00:38:16If I so much as see your name
00:38:18next to my daughters in a tabloid
00:38:20I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:22Don't worry about it.
00:38:24Just drive.
00:38:36Don't worry about it. Just drive.
00:38:38I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:52Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:38:56No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:38:58Seriously?
00:38:59Slow down.

00:43:59We have to find him.
00:44:01We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:02Oh, honey.
00:44:04It's over.
00:44:06Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:08You knew?
00:44:09I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:12I'm hungry!
00:44:12I'm hungry!
00:44:21Dad!
00:44:22Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:26Jackson?
00:44:27I have something to tell you.
00:44:33Your dad...
00:44:34Your dad...
00:44:36He's left us.
00:44:39I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:42Yay!
00:44:43He's gone!
00:44:43He's gone!
00:44:44He's gone!
00:44:45Why would you say that?
00:44:47He was so embarrassing.
00:44:48Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:50Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:51What did Preston say?
00:44:54He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets than raising a young man.
00:45:00He was so lame and boring.
00:45:03Now he's gone.
00:45:04Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:45:07He can be my new dad.
00:45:08Jackson!
00:45:09You have a dad.
00:45:11And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:45:13Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:21Hello?
00:45:22Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:24Ms. Donovan?
00:45:25It's your accountant.
00:45:26I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:29I'm sorry.
00:45:29I don't have the time.
00:45:30Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:34Was that done with your approval?
00:45:36No.
00:45:36But I'm not surprised.
00:45:38Flag his name.
00:45:40I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:43Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:47Okay?
00:45:48He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:50Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:54And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:57What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:00Huh?
00:46:01It's despicable.
00:46:02I can't do this anymore.
00:46:05I cancel everything.
00:46:07The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:09I don't want to be seen.
00:46:11I can't pretend.
00:46:14I just want him back.
00:46:15Oh, honey.
00:46:17It's time to let him go.
00:46:19You don't love him anyway.
00:46:22Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:28What?
00:46:29How could you say something like that?
00:46:31Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:34He cares for me.
00:46:35He sees me.
00:46:36He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:40But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:44Daniel's my husband.
00:46:46And the father of my son.
00:46:47Yeah, some husband.
00:46:49Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:51Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:46:54Contract?
00:46:55What contract?
00:46:56What contract?
00:47:01What are you talking about?
00:47:04Forget it.
00:47:05Forget it.
00:47:06Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:08When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:13Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:15Please.
00:47:16I just want the truth.
00:47:18Mom.
00:47:20Fine.
00:47:21I will tell you the truth.
00:47:23But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:28I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:30But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:37When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:41I had to save you.
00:47:43She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:46You've always been there for her.
00:47:48From film school to now.
00:47:50I've seen it.
00:47:52She needs you.
00:47:53Stay.
00:47:54Marry her.
00:47:55Love her.
00:47:56So that she's never alone again.
00:48:00It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:08How could you do this to me?
00:48:10I wanted to protect you.
00:48:12You wanted to control me.
00:48:14All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:17Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:23You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:27Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:29He kept you together.
00:48:31Where?
00:48:32Where did he go?
00:48:33I know he told you where he went.
00:48:36Where is he?
00:48:37You can do better than him.
00:48:39You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:48:41Hollywood starlet.
00:48:43Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:45No.
00:48:46He can't be gone.
00:48:47He can't.
00:48:48Yes.
00:48:49He is gone.
00:48:49And he is gone forever.
00:48:51He can't be.
00:48:53He can't be gone.
00:48:54He can't.
00:48:55I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated
00:49:14a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:17Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:25Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:29What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:30Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own schticht.
00:49:35Nobody told me how.
00:49:37Oh, man.
00:49:38How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:40I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:41Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest
00:49:48about it, actually.
00:49:49I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:51But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I've found my voice, and it
00:49:57really is full steam ahead.
00:49:59Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:50:03back to Hollywood?
00:50:06Hollywood.
00:50:07Get out of the country.
00:50:10If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life
00:50:15a living hell.
00:50:19Daniel?
00:50:20He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:38Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:44That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:50:49actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:53Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:50:57We'll never tell.
00:51:01Oh, my God.
00:51:02Thanks for saving me, Emily.
00:51:04She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:06I know.
00:51:06Jeez.
00:51:07This is so surreal.
00:51:08I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:11I can.
00:51:11The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:16Daniel, enjoy this.
00:51:20And get used to compliments.
00:51:22There's already asked of us.
00:51:24Fuck.
00:51:25Finish me, I know.
00:51:26I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:30You okay?
00:51:31You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:33I know, it's, um, I'll have it.
00:51:35Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:41Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:53I know.
00:51:55Our press is good press.
00:51:56Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:52:04and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:09You can't do this to me!
00:52:11Sabrina.
00:52:12You don't need him.
00:52:14Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:15How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:18Move on?
00:52:20Please, honey.
00:52:21He is using her.
00:52:23Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:26He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:29How could you say that?
00:52:30I mean, any, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:34He's proving that to the whole world!
00:52:36Don't you see it?
00:52:37Sabrina.
00:52:39Look at what you've got.
00:52:40A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:52:46Well, when he's not whining.
00:52:48And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:50Your dream man.
00:52:51You have everything.
00:52:53I don't have him.
00:52:56Mom, I'm hungry.
00:52:57Go have the chef make something.
00:52:59No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:02Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:04Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:06He's your dad.
00:53:07No!
00:53:08Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:10Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:13It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:15When did he get so cruel?
00:53:17You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover, a doormat.
00:53:22Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:24Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:26Enough!
00:53:27You little shit!
00:53:31Enough!
00:53:31Just enough!
00:53:33Sabrina?
00:53:34What's gotten into you?
00:53:36Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:39Whoa.
00:53:40What's going on here?
00:53:42This room feels really tense.
00:53:44Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:46I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:47No!
00:53:48I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:51And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:54It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:01Hey, babe.
00:54:02Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:06Really?
00:54:07Loser?
00:54:07Yeah.
00:54:08You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:11And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:21That's really, really low.
00:54:23Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:28Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:54:30To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:33Face it, Preston, you're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:38And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:41Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:42You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:45I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:48Because you know what?
00:54:49Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:50It's not like that, okay?
00:54:52Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:54:55I want to marry you.
00:54:57We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:54:59When's my birthday?
00:55:01Huh?
00:55:01What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:04What's my favorite color?
00:55:05My favorite song?
00:55:06Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:09Oh, oh wait.
00:55:10What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:12You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:14You don't love me.
00:55:16You don't even know me.
00:55:17This isn't a relationship.
00:55:19This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:22And you know what?
00:55:23I'm done.
00:55:24Get out.
00:55:25I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:28We're over.
00:55:30We're over.
00:55:30No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:32Please.
00:55:33Please, I love you.
00:55:34Just, just think about it.
00:55:35Look at the press.
00:55:36What this will look like.
00:55:38If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:42Get out.
00:55:43Babe, just...
00:55:44Now.
00:55:45Just give me your hand.
00:55:45Come on.
00:55:46No.
00:55:47I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:50Nobody sees the real thing.
00:55:51I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:53I see all of you.
00:55:55And you're never going to be alone again.
00:55:58He truly knew me.
00:56:02He loved me.
00:56:04Every flaw.
00:56:06Every fear.
00:56:07Contract or not.
00:56:09He truly loved me.
00:56:11I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:13Saved me?
00:56:15You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:18Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:20And he saved me from you.
00:56:23Security!
00:56:26Security!
00:56:27Come on.
00:56:27Just let's talk about this.
00:56:29No.
00:56:30Come on.
00:56:30Celeste, do something!
00:56:32Sabrina!
00:56:34Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:36Was that really necessary?
00:56:38I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:56:40and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:42Is that all you care about?
00:56:43The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:56:47God!
00:56:48You're supposed to be my mother first,
00:56:50not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:53Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:56:55Of course I care about you.
00:56:58I love you.
00:57:00Then prove it.
00:57:01If you ever want me in front of a camera again,
00:57:04then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:05You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:20I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:23In film school,
00:57:24we were literally told to watch every single film
00:57:27that you ever produced.
00:57:28I mean, you know this.
00:57:30You're a legend.
00:57:31I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:32All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:34You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:37I appreciate the compliment,
00:57:38but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:39I got projects.
00:57:40Come on!
00:57:40You're built for billion-dollar franchises,
00:57:43Hollywood blockbusters,
00:57:44the one that gets made in L.A., not London.
00:57:46That's where you belong.
00:57:48To be honest, I already did all.
00:57:51It didn't really end well.
00:57:52Let me guess.
00:57:53A girl?
00:57:54If by a girl,
00:57:56he means Hollywood royalty,
00:57:58Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:00You don't walk away from a gift like yours
00:58:01over some heartbreak.
00:58:02You can become a household name,
00:58:04and I can get you there.
00:58:07You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:08Three-picture deal.
00:58:09$200 million budget each.
00:58:11Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:13I don't know what to say.
00:58:14Just say yes.
00:58:15You have my number.
00:58:17Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:19Just remember, Daniel,
00:58:20you can't run away from the past.
00:58:22You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:24Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:38Can we talk?
00:58:40Daniel, can you give us a hint
00:58:42about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:44Of course.
00:58:45It's about a man who gets fucked over
00:58:47by America's sweetheart
00:58:48and comes out on top.
00:58:50Is this a personal story?
00:58:52Will we get a hint at
00:58:53who the mystery woman is?
00:58:55Oh.
00:58:57She knows who she is.
00:58:59Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:01You arrogant little shit.
00:59:06I told you if you ever set foot
00:59:08in this fucking country,
00:59:09I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:15It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:17I need a favor.
00:59:18I need you to track down Daniel Johnson
00:59:20and find out where he'll be
00:59:21around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:24It's time for a little reunion
00:59:26with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:29Mom?
00:59:29What are you doing?
00:59:31Did you just break my TV?
00:59:36Can you give us a name
00:59:37for your upcoming film?
00:59:39You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:41You've been so kind, though.
00:59:42Um, it's called
00:59:43You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:48He's back.
00:59:50Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:52Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:55I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:59:57I need to get on that movie.
00:59:59Absolutely not.
01:00:00You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:02If you don't get me an audition,
01:00:04then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:06Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:08He still loves me.
01:00:11He has to.
01:00:12I just need to talk to him.
01:00:15Let him go.
01:00:19Mom.
01:00:21Honey, I...
01:00:22You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:27I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:29I love you.
01:00:33I love you, too.
01:00:37Here we go.
01:00:39This is, um...
01:00:41It's another movie deal.
01:00:42I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:43Did you get his location?
01:01:01The Oaks.
01:01:028 p.m.
01:01:04After I'm done with him,
01:01:05Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:08He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:20She's not protecting me.
01:01:22She's protecting her business.
01:01:24And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:25But if she wants a scandal,
01:01:27she'll get one.
01:01:30So nice having you back.
01:01:33And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:35Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:01:37A couple?
01:01:39Daniel, it was ten years of you
01:01:41slaving away for those people,
01:01:42if you can even call them that.
01:01:44But you're healthy now.
01:01:45And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:47I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:01:49I love Sabrina,
01:01:50but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:52The marriage, the kids.
01:01:54I mean, we really tried.
01:01:56I thought I could make it go for it,
01:01:57but, um...
01:01:59It's over.
01:02:01It's over.
01:02:02I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy
01:02:04she thinks Preston D. Swick can offer.
01:02:13Oh.
01:02:14You haven't heard?
01:02:17She dumped him.
01:02:18It was all over People magazine.
01:02:20She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:24Oh, my God.
01:02:24What?
01:02:30Daniel!
01:02:34Stop!
01:02:34Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:44I'm here to help you.
01:02:46Sabrina,
01:02:47you're making a scene.
01:02:49Let's go home.
01:02:50Sabrina?
01:02:50How could you?
01:02:51What?
01:02:52I just came to ask Daniel
01:02:54if he'd let you audition,
01:02:55but he said no.
01:02:56I begged and pleaded.
01:02:57Stop lying.
01:02:58I saw you bribe the waiter
01:03:01to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:03And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too,
01:03:05to catch him drugged out of his mind
01:03:07and ruin him.
01:03:08My God.
01:03:09You're disgusting.
01:03:11I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:12Not anymore.
01:03:14Why did you become such a
01:03:15conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:18I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:21I'm your mother.
01:03:23I only want what's best for you.
01:03:26What's best for me?
01:03:30You've been controlling my life
01:03:31ever since you knew
01:03:32you could profit from it.
01:03:35That all ends today.
01:03:39You're fired.
01:03:42Fired.
01:03:44No.
01:03:46No.
01:03:47No.
01:03:51You can't do this to me.
01:03:54Please.
01:03:55Please, sweetie.
01:03:56I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:57You dedicated your life
01:03:58to money and to fame.
01:04:02I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:05You think you can survive
01:04:06on sheer talent?
01:04:07There's a thousand girls
01:04:09more talented than you
01:04:10waiting for their shot.
01:04:11I made you.
01:04:12You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:17I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:21We're done here, Mom.
01:04:27If you want any chance
01:04:28to be in Jackson's life
01:04:30or in mine,
01:04:32you'll leave now.
01:04:34Without another word.
01:04:45I have something to say.
01:04:47I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:53I'm sorry I took you for granted
01:04:54all of those years.
01:04:56I'm sorry I let my mom
01:04:58manipulate and use you.
01:05:01I'm sorry I brought
01:05:02Preston into our home
01:05:04and poisoned our son
01:05:06towards you.
01:05:10Apologize to your father.
01:05:12Do I have to?
01:05:13Who raised you?
01:05:16Cared for you?
01:05:18Packed your lunches
01:05:20when I was on set?
01:05:22Laid with you
01:05:23when you had nightmares
01:05:23and coddled you
01:05:24when you were sick?
01:05:26He did.
01:05:27He loved you.
01:05:28But you treated him
01:05:29like he was nothing.
01:05:31I was wrong.
01:05:32Jackson,
01:05:33he gave us ten years
01:05:34of his life
01:05:35and we abused it.
01:05:37And now there is
01:05:38nothing we can do
01:05:40to take that back.
01:05:40I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:46It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:48I still love you.
01:05:49Okay.
01:05:50Come on, Jackson.
01:05:51Let's go.
01:05:58I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:01For everything.
01:06:02Okay.
01:06:10I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:14You're thinking
01:06:15of going back to them.
01:06:17I just didn't know
01:06:19it would be this hard.
01:06:21They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:23They tore you to pieces
01:06:25and then just expected
01:06:27you to come running back.
01:06:28people can change
01:06:31but that doesn't
01:06:34change the past.
01:06:38And the Oscar goes to
01:06:40Daniel Johnson
01:06:41for his original screenplay,
01:06:43Loving Her.
01:06:46Daniel!
01:06:47Daniel!
01:06:48It's awesome.
01:06:48Here, Daniel.
01:06:49Daniel, is it true
01:06:50that the script
01:06:51that won you Oscars
01:06:52for both writing
01:06:52and directing
01:06:53sat on the shelf
01:06:54for ten years?
01:06:55Yes.
01:06:55I'll admit
01:06:56I got a little sidelined
01:06:57but I think
01:06:59I found my way back.
01:07:01But, okay.
01:07:02I'll tell you this.
01:07:05I don't think
01:07:06you can truly
01:07:06love someone else
01:07:07until
01:07:09you love yourself.
01:07:14Way to go, Jan!

01:09:01It was fun
01:09:01playing the part,
01:09:04British starlet,
01:09:05American director.
01:09:07I kept waiting
01:09:08for us to become
01:09:09something real.
01:09:12Waiting for us
01:09:13to become
01:09:13something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry,
01:09:15Emily.

01:09:18and we'll call it even.
01:09:19You were amazing
01:09:22as always.
01:09:23It's just...
