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!
00:02:56Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:07He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please. I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity 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.
00:03:31You 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.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:57And 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!
00:04:28Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now 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.
00:04:45I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:47What is this?
00:04:50Another contract?
00:04:51How 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.
00:05:04I 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.
00:05:13Mwah! Love you.
00:05:15I've devoted myself to this family for ten 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.
00:05:35We 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.
00:05:48At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:51I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:54Hey, Mom.
00:05:55How you doing?
00:05:56Oh, good, dear.
00:05:57I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:01Do you need more?
00:06:02No, no, no, no.
00:06:03You've already done so much.
00:06:06I'm just trying to help.
00:06:07I know.
00:06:08But 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.
00:06:21And 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.
00:06:35Love 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.
00:06:49Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:06:59Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:08All right, cut.
00:07:10That's a wrap, everyone.
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.
00:07:29We got our start on the set of Kings.
00:07:49We'll be honest.
00:07:53You've destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:17Sabrina, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:21I mean it.
00:08:22Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:26Just...
00:08:27Just give me your hand.
00:08:42No!
00:08:44Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:47No!
00:08:48Don't let me go!
00:08:50I won't ever let you go.
00:08:52I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:00Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:06And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:08Good to see you.
00:09:15Good to see you.
00:09:16Oh, my gosh.
00:09:18How long has it been?
00:09:18Oh, too long.
00:09:19Look at you.
00:09:21Oh, 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.
00:09:29Preston'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.
00:09:35There's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:39How 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.
00:09:55Don't embarrass me.
00:09:56No, it's fine.
00:09:57Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:02He's not just tough.
00:10:03He's Brett Stale tough.
00:10:05You think, you know?
00:10:06My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
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.
00:10:13So what are you saying, huh?
00:10:14Yeah.
00:10:15Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:19It's fine.
00:10:21It's fine.
00:10:22Just relax, okay?
00:10:24Be nice.
00:10:33Some people never change.
00:10:35But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:41Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:43But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the sale.
00:10:53Oh, careful.
00:10:55You all right?
00:10:58I'm still starving.
00:10:59Make me some food.
00:11:01Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:04Stew?
00:11:04Oh, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:07I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:10Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:13I'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, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:27Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:28I'm rich.
00:11:30Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:33I 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 treat.
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.
00:12:04I mean, I'm already dressed, so.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:12:13Anyways.
00:12:14Come on, Ben.
00:12:15Let's go.
00:12:17That's great.
00:12:17Gotcha.
00:12:18There we go.
00:12:19Oh.
00:12:19There's paps.
00:12:23You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:25Last time.
00:12:26I promise.
00:12:28You're right.
00:12:30It is the last time.
00:12:33Hey, guys.
00:12:35Hi.
00:12:36Jackson.
00:12:43Well, 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.
00:13:01Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:15Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:21She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:24Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:28I could scream.
00:13:29I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:30Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:35OMG.
00:13:35I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed 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.
00:13:43Are you two dating?
00:13:45Oh, well, actually.
00:13:46This is totally a date.
00:13:47All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:55Do 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, right?
00:14:13So, 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.
00:14:28This is so going viral.
00:14:29I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:31It looks like more than dating.
00:14:33Is this your son?
00:14:34I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:37Don't be silly.
00:14:38You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:41That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:43He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:46But Preston is awesome.
00:14:49He's an action spy.
00:14:51I wish he was my dad.
00:14:53My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:56But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:02It's okay, buddy.
00:15:03Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:05If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:08That is, if mom's schooled with it.
00:15:11Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:12Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:14Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:18Come on.
00:15:19Let's go, Michelle.
00:15:20Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:38I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:43Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:49Daniel!
00:15:50You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:53And 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, that's not good.
00:16:02I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:04I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:05Actually, 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.
00:16:23I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:26I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:29You're really good at that.
00:16:31Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:34A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:40I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:46I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:49Daniel loves me.
00:16:50He has to understand.
00:16:51This is Hollywood.
00:16:52It's just part of the job.
00:16:55Daniel, 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 canceled.
00:17:09Are you going somewhere?
00:17:12Honey, oh, 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 going to 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?
00:18:00I'll go.
00:18:01And 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.
00:18:09He won't leave.
00:18:10He promised.
00:18:12It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:14We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:16I'm going to go back.
00:18:21Daniel!
00:18:25Please.
00:18:26Better than yours.
00:18:28Yeah.
00:18:28Oh, 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.
00:18:42Don'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.
00:18:50How lucky for him.
00:18:52He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:55Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant,
00:18:57it's not like that.
00:18:59Okay.
00:18:59Listen, man.
00:19:00I...
00:19:00I've had every opportunity to sleep with her
00:19:03and nothing happened.
00:19:05You 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...
00:19:17I...
00:19:17When you're gone,
00:19:18I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:22I'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?
00:19:36Yeah.
00:19:36My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:40Whatever.
00:19:40I'm going to bed.
00:19:44You know...
00:19:45I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:48That's all I need to slip into her bed
00:19:53and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:19:57Daniel,
00:19:58can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:02My God.
00:20:04My God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:08Are you really going to ask your husband
00:20:10if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:12No, it's not like that.
00:20:14I...
00:20:15What?
00:20:17You know what?
00:20:18Fine.
00:20:21You two look great together.
00:20:22Daniel, I...
00:20:35And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:42Um...
00:20:43I don't know where our kids are.
00:20:48Where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:51Without me,
00:20:52you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:53I was never the homemaker.
00:20:57I was never the homemaker.
00:21:00Please, Daniel.
00:21:02Daniel?
00:21:02I 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?
00:21:23I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:26Look at her now.
00:21:35I...
00:21:36I...
00:21:38Look at her now.
00:21:40Playing house for another man.
00:21:42If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:46There he is.
00:22:05God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:07Man, no, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:11Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:14I got some.
00:22:16Yeah, what do you need?
00:22:18Oh, oh, yeah, there you go.
00:22:20I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:23Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:25Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:31Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of you last night, right?
00:22:36No, a grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:40Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:42It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:22:58What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:00Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:01I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:05And it's unfair.
00:23:06That's a shame, huh?
00:23:07You know what?
00:23:08Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:09Here we go.
00:23:11Ooh.
00:23:12No!
00:23:13Not to play with that.
00:23:16You never let me do anything!
00:23:19Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:22You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:24It's not about the money.
00:23:26It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:28Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:32Yeah?
00:23:33What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:34You're so annoying!
00:23:38Don't push.
00:23:44I said don't push.
00:23:45Go get a book or something.
00:23:46Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:48He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:51God, what the hell is you just showing me?
00:23:57Call it a lesson.
00:23:58I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:23:59He's not your kid.
00:24:01I wish I would.
00:24:02I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:05I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:08Ouch.
00:24:09I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:11So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?
00:24:13Maybe it will be.
00:24:14But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:18You?
00:24:19Man of the house?
00:24:20Please.
00:24:21You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:23I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid,
00:24:24much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:27And you're a washed up pack.
00:24:28Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:30How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:32I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:34I'm a fucking star!
00:24:36A star?
00:24:37A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:41Jackson, come on.
00:24:42I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:43No, I'm not going.
00:24:45Preston's way cooler than you.
00:24:47Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:24:50You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:15What was that?
00:25:20Let's go.
00:25:23Daniel!
00:25:24What is happening?
00:25:26It was Dad, Mom.
00:25:27Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:30What?
00:25:30You're so scared.
00:25:31You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:32What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:34I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:35I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:37What?
00:25:37I didn't?
00:25:38Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:40You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:42I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:44He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:46It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:25:47Throw up.
00:25:48Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:51What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:53What?
00:25:53Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me.
00:25:57Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:25:59No.
00:26:00Oh, my God.
00:26:02He's lying.
00:26:04You're a monster.
00:26:06And in front of your son?
00:26:07You have to be kidding.
00:26:09We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:12We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:14Come on.
00:26:15Clean this up.
00:26:18Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:21Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:26:33Hello, 911.
00:26:34What's your emergency?
00:26:36I'm bleeding out.
00:26:37I think I hit an artery.
00:26:39I need an ambulance now.
00:26:41Now.
00:26:51You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump
00:26:55you with liquids.
00:26:56To be honest, I could use a break from home.
00:26:59Trouble with the missus?
00:27:03Yeah.
00:27:05Pretty obvious.
00:27:06Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:10I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:16True love story, holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:20I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:27:24You said, um, couple?
00:27:26I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:27:31She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:35She was so sweet.
00:27:36You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:44No, it's...
00:27:45It's an old wound.
00:27:48I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:51Daniel!
00:27:53Sweet and caring.
00:27:56So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:27:59He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:01and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:03Fuck it.
00:28:11I'm gonna go get my shit in, y'all.
00:28:14Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:16You once liked my short film.
00:28:18I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:28It needs the right producer.
00:28:29I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:33Where have you been?
00:28:36I kept calling.
00:28:37I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:40Huh?
00:28:44What?
00:28:45I've been busy.
00:28:46Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:48Uh, seriously?
00:28:50Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:52I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:54Uh, yeah.
00:28:57That's what you want to call it?
00:28:59I, I just, I'm sorry.
00:29:03I, bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:11It is what it is.
00:29:12But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:17You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:21And I think you should go for it.
00:29:23I 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.
00:29:33Seriously.
00:29:34I, I care about you.
00:29:40I'm not mad.
00:29:42I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:44I know when you're angry.
00:29:45Really?
00:29:46I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:48I pay attention?
00:29:50Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:53She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:55That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:29:57A headline.
00:29:59A performance.
00:30:01Sabrina.
00:30:05Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:06You know what?
00:30:07I hate fighting.
00:30:09So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:12I was thinking.
00:30:14We could revisit your script.
00:30:18I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:21You telling me you finally read it?
00:30:23Well, yeah.
00:30:24The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:27The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:31I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:32Me and you.
00:30:33The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:37I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:41A long time ago.
00:30:43Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:30:46and for the next hour,
00:30:47we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:50Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:51There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:56I would have melted in her hands.
00:30:58Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:01I don't know what you do,
00:31:18but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:31:21and it was awful.
00:31:24Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:31:26and 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.
00:31:33I'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
00:31:47is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:51Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:52It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:56No, Daniel.
00:31:57No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:04Look what you made me do.
00:32:06Just leave it.
00:32:10I just 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.
00:32:20You know what?
00:32:22Forget it.
00:32:23I have a mirror.
00:32:24We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:40What?
00:32:41Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:43Yeah.
00:32:44Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:44Not quite.
00:32:46That was the divorce contract.
00:32:47But if you want a clean break,
00:32:48we need to finalize your entertainment contract
00:32:50and 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.
00:32:56I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood
00:33:10into 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,
00:33:16and 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.
00:33:24Oh, well, if we want the tea,
00:33:28let's get it from the pot.
00:33:30Come here.
00:33:31Oh.
00:33:34Jackson!
00:33:35We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:37Do you know where she is?
00:33:39Or 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
00:33:48might be your new daddy?
00:33:50Oh, I hope so.
00:33:51I really hope so.
00:33:51He's way cooler than my old, boring, real dad.
00:33:55Speaking of,
00:33:56I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:33:58Yeah, he usually stays at home
00:34:00doing chores like a maid.
00:34:08What 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'll embarrass us.
00:34:16Jackson,
00:34:17do not talk to me like that.
00:34:19I'm your father.
00:34:19I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:24Is 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,
00:34:38that'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
00:34:46because 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,
00:34:56abused Sabrina's kid,
00:34:58and picked 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.
00:35:06And then they would praise Sabrina
00:35:09for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:11This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:14You 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
00:35:32so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:34Hmm.
00:35:38Oh!
00:35:56What the hell?
00:35:58What happened?
00:36:00Oh, my God!
00:36:01Daniel!
00:36:02What the hell happened?
00:36:04Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:05Are you okay?
00:36:07Look at her go.
00:36:09Hollywood's finest.
00:36:10Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:13It's Daniel.
00:36:14He's a monster.
00:36:16He found out about your premiere
00:36:17and crashed the party.
00:36:18Mommy!
00:36:19Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:22No.
00:36:23No, that's not true.
00:36:24If Preston weren't here,
00:36:26Daniel would have manhandled Jackson
00:36:28in front of the reporters.
00:36:29Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:33Daniel, is that true?
00:36:38Sabrina.
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:41Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:44I think one of them's broken.
00:36:45Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:36:52But Daniel.
00:36:56Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:36:59Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:12I...
00:37:13I have...
00:37:14I have to help Preston.
00:37:24Oh!
00:37:24Come on, Jackson.
00:37:37Daniel!
00:37:38I got you.
00:37:40Don't let me go!
00:37:42She's made her choice.
00:37:44There's no going back.
00:37:45We'll see if Preston can give her the life
00:37:46she's grown used to
00:37:47after all these years of me
00:37:49slaving for her.
00:37:51Well,
00:37:58that went even better than I planned.
00:38:02Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:04I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:06There's an Uber waiting for you outside
00:38:09to take you to the airport.
00:38:11Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:13In 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
00:38:21a living hell.
00:38:36Don't worry about it.
00:38:37Just drive.
00:38:38I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:54Now I just want to breathe
00:38:55without her shadow.
00:38:58Seriously?
00:39:00Sit down.
00:39:01I know.
00:39:01Why is it down?
00:39:03Oh!
00:39:03I'm going to go call the doctor.
00:39:05Okay?
00:39:05Okay.
00:39:05What are you doing?
00:39:09I thought you were hurt.
00:39:10I think I'll pull through.
00:39:18So what are you doing?
00:39:20I've always wanted to.
00:39:22Come on.
00:39:23I know you want this.
00:39:24I see the way you look at me.
00:39:26Now that Daniel's gone,
00:39:27we have the house to ourself.
00:39:29I can finally have you
00:39:31in this bedroom.
00:39:32What am I doing?
00:39:43Daniel is still injured.
00:39:45He should be home.
00:39:49Sabrina?
00:39:50Preston, get off.
00:40:03What?
00:40:04Babe, we can finally...
00:40:05Come on.
00:40:05I said get off.
00:40:07What?
00:40:08I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:09No, forget about him.
00:40:11Look, I love Jackson
00:40:14and I'm ready to be the man
00:40:15that you've always wanted
00:40:16and I'm ready to be a dad
00:40:18to that little boy.
00:40:20I mean, come on.
00:40:21Sabrina, your son,
00:40:22your mother,
00:40:24even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:26What?
00:40:27Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:31No.
00:40:32No.
00:40:33What have I done?
00:40:35Where is he?
00:40:36What about me?
00:40:38You had your chance
00:40:39ten years ago.
00:40:41I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:43I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:45Hello?
00:40:50Excuse me.
00:40:52Excuse me.
00:40:53Hi.
00:40:53Have you seen my husband?
00:40:56Please.
00:40:56He was someone bleeding out.
00:40:58I saw him stumble outside
00:40:59holding his head
00:41:00after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:02He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:08Daniel, where are you?
00:41:09I'm sorry,
00:41:10but the number you are trying to reach
00:41:12is no longer in service.
00:41:13Please try again later.
00:41:15What have I done?
00:41:27Come on, Daniel.
00:41:29Answer me.
00:41:35He's not gone.
00:41:37I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:39He loves me too much
00:41:49to abandon me
00:41:50when I need him the most.
00:41:52No.
00:41:55It's not possible.
00:41:57He will be back.
00:42:00No.
00:42:01No.
00:42:01No.
00:42:01No.
00:42:01No.
00:42:01No.
00:42:01No.
00:42:01No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:04No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:06No.
00:42:06No.
00:42:06No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:11Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:13Clams zero, Castillo Jackson.
00:42:16The waves all spousal support.
00:42:19No.
00:42:20No.
00:42:20He can't leave me.
00:42:22He can't do this to me.
00:42:23I won't sign off on it.
00:42:34No.
00:42:36All this time?
00:42:38Who's gonna leave me?
00:42:54It can't be.
00:42:57It's not a...
00:42:58Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:02He loves me.
00:43:04He loves Jackson.
00:43:06He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.
00:43:09After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:43:23I got you.
00:43:36Don't let me go!
00:43:38Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:44Daniel!
00:43:46No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? You sound panicked.
00:43:49Mom!
00:43:51Mom!
00:43:53Daniel! He just left us!
00:43:57Do you know where he is?
00:43:59We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:03Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:08You knew?
00:44:10I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:20I'm hungry!
00:44:21Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:25Jackson?
00:44:27I have something to tell you.
00:44:31Your dad...
00:44:34Your dad...
00:44:36He's left us.
00:44:39I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:40Yay! He's gone! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:44Why would you say that?
00:44:46He was so embarrassing! Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:49Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:51What did Preston say?
00:44:53He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets than raising a young man.
00:44:58He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone! Mr. Eastwood is way cooler! He can be my new dad!
00:45:07Jackson! You have a dad! And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:12Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:14Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:24Ms. Donovan? It's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:27I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:30Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:45:35No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:43Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again. Okay? He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:50Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there, and we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:57What kind of coward abandons his family? It's despicable.
00:46:02I can't do this anymore. I cancel everything. The interviews and the red carpets. I don't want to be seen. I can't pretend. I just want him back.
00:46:16Honey, it's time to let him go. You don't love him anyway. Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:25What? How could you say something like that? Of course I love Daniel. He cares for me. He sees me. He 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. And the father of my son.
00:46:47Yeah, some husband. Abandoning you without a moment's notice. Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:46:54Contract? What contract?
00:46:57What are you talking about?
00:47:02Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:07When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:12Is there something you're not telling me? Please. I just want the truth. Ma.
00:47:19Fine. I will tell you the truth. But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:25I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina. But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:37When Preston left you, you were distraught. I had to save you.
00:47:42She's lost without you, Daniel. You've always been there for her. From film school to now. I've seen it. She needs you. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she's never alone again.
00:47:59It was all just some sort of obligation? How could you do this to me? I wanted to protect you.
00:48:12You wanted to control me. All 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. Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:29He kept you together.
00:48:31Where? Where did he go? I know he told you where he went. Where is he?
00:48:36You can do better than him. You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet. Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:44No. He can't be gone. He can't.
00:48:47Yes. He is gone. And he is gone forever.
00:48:51He can't be. He can't be gone. He can't.
00:48:59I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame the Silver Fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:18Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:25Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:31Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own sheet. Nobody told me how. Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:39I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:41Uh, yeah. God, my career has been a long time in the making. And I've been very honest about it, actually. I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:50But London, London lit the fire under me. And I feel like I've found my voice. And it really is. Full steam ahead.
00:49:58Speaking of London, since you're an American rights director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:06Hollywood.
00:50:08Get out of the country. If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:50:16Daniel.
00:50:19Daniel?
00:50:34He'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 actress 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.
00:50:58Oh my god, thanks for saving me, Emily.
00:51:03She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:05I know, jeez.
00:51:07This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:10I can.
00:51:12The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:16Daniel.
00:51:18Enjoy this.
00:51:19And get used to compliments.
00:51:22There's already asked of us.
00:51:24Fuck. Finish me, I know.
00:51:26I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:29You okay?
00:51:31You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:33I know, it's, um...
00:51:35I'll have it.
00:51:36Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:51:40Some 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, and 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.
00:52:13Let 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.
00:52:28How could you say that?
00:52:30I mean, any...
00:52:31If 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.
00:52:41A celebrated career.
00:52:42A mansion in the hills.
00:52:44An 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.
00:52:55Mom, I'm hungry.
00:52:57Go have the chef make something.
00:52:58No, I hate what she cooks.
00:53:00And 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.
00:53:09Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:12It 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.
00:53:20A doormat.
00:53:22Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:24Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:25Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:26Enough!
00:53:27You little shit!
00:53:30Enough!
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.
00:53:38Whoa.
00:53:39What's going on in here?
00:53:41This room feels really tense.
00:53:43Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:45I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:47No!
00:53:48I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:50And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:53It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:54:01Hey, baby.
00:54:02Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:05Really?
00:54:06Loser?
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.
00:54:20That's really, really low.
00:54:22Especially 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.
00:54:35You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:38And you're a fucking thief!
00:54:40Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:42You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:44I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:47Because you know what?
00:54:48Honestly, 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.
00:54:56We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:54:58What's my birthday?
00:55:00Huh?
00:55:01What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:03What's my favorite color?
00:55:04My favorite song?
00:55:05Oh!
00:55:06What's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:08Oh!
00:55:09Oh, wait!
00:55:10What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:11You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:14You don't love me.
00:55:15You don't even know me.
00:55:17This isn't a relationship.
00:55:19This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:21And you know what?
00:55:22I'm done!
00:55:23Get out!
00:55:24I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:27We're over.
00:55:29We're over.
00:55:30What?
00:55:31No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:32Please.
00:55:33Please, I love you.
00:55:34Just think about it.
00:55:35Look at the press.
00:55:36What this will look like.
00:55:37If I have to call my security,
00:55:39all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:41Get out.
00:55:42Babe, just...
00:55:43Now!
00:55:44Just give me your hand.
00:55:45Come on.
00:55:46No.
00:55:47I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:49Nobody sees the real me.
00:55:51I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:53I see all of you.
00:55:55And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:55:58He truly knew me.
00:56:01He loved me.
00:56:03Every flaw.
00:56:05Every fear.
00:56:06Contract or not.
00:56:08He truly loved me.
00:56:11I saved you from social suicide!
00:56:13Saved me?
00:56:14I mean, you don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:17Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:19And he saved me from you.
00:56:22Security!
00:56:25Security!
00:56:26Come on.
00:56:27Just stop talking about this.
00:56:28No.
00:56:29Come on.
00:56:30Celeste!
00:56:31Do something!
00:56:32Sabrina!
00:56:33Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:34Was that really necessary?
00:56:37I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:41Is that all you care about?
00:56:43The fame?
00:56:44The headlines?
00:56:45The brand deals?
00:56:46God!
00:56:47You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager!
00:56:52Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:56:55Of course I care about you.
00:56:58I love you.
00:56:59Then prove it.
00:57:00If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:18You'll have to forgive me, Miss Jolie.
00:57:20I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:22In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:27I mean, you know this.
00:57:29You're a legend.
00:57:30I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:32Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:34You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:36I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing alright.
00:57:38I got projects.
00:57:39Come on!
00:57:40You're built for billion dollar franchises.
00:57:42Hollywood blockbusters.
00:57:43The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:57:46That's where you belong.
00:57:47To be honest, I already did, Ollie.
00:57:50It didn't really end well.
00:57:52Let me guess.
00:57:53My girl?
00:57:54If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:57:59You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:02You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:06You've given me a lot to think about.
00:58:08Three picture deal.
00:58:09200 million dollar 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.
00:58:16Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:18Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:19You can't run away from the past.
00:58:21You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:35Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:37Can we talk?
00:58:39Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:44Of course.
00:58:45It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:49Is this a personal story?
00:58:51Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:54Oh...
00:58:56She knows who she is.
00:58:59Um...
00:59:00I'll leave it at that.
00:59:04You arrogant little shit!
00:59:06I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I 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 and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:23It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:28Mom?
00:59:29What are you doing?
00:59:34Did you just break my TV?
00:59:36Can you give us a name for 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...
00:59:43It's called...
00:59:44You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:47He's back.
00:59:50Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:51Honey...
00:59:52Honey...
00:59:53I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:54I'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, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:06Honey...
01:00:07I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:08He still loves me.
01:00:11He has to...
01:00:13I just need to talk to him.
01:00:15Let.
01:00:16Him.
01:00:17Go.
01:00:19Mom!
01:00:21Honey, I...
01:00:23You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:26I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:31I love you.
01:00:33I love you too.
01:00:34I love you too.
01:00:39This is, um...
01:00:41It's another movie deal.
01:00:42I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:43Okay.
01:00:44Did you get his location?
01:01:00The Oaks.
01:01:028 PM.
01:01:04After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:08He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:14She's not protecting me.
01:01:21She's protecting her business.
01:01:23And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:26But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:30It's so nice having you back.
01:01:33And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:35Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:37A couple?
01:01:39Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:42If you can even call them that.
01:01:43But 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 loved Sabrina, but 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, but, um...
01:01:59It's over.
01:02:01It's over.
01:02:02I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston be swicken off her.
01:02:13Oh.
01:02:14You haven't heard?
01:02:16She dumped him.
01:02:18It was all over People magazine.
01:02:20She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:21Oh, my God.
01:02:22It was.
01:02:23Daniel!
01:02:24Stop!
01:02:29Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:30I'm here to help you.
01:02:31Sabrina.
01:02:32You're making a scene.
01:02:33Let's go home.
01:02:34Sabrina.
01:02:35How could you?
01:02:36What?
01:02:37I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:38I begged and pleaded.
01:02:39Stop lying.
01:02:40I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:02:41And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin
01:02:42him.
01:02:43My God.
01:02:44You're disgusting.
01:02:45I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:02:46Not anymore.
01:02:47What?
01:02:48I'm here to help you.
01:02:49I'm here to help you.
01:02:50Sabrina.
01:02:51You're making a scene.
01:02:52Let's go home.
01:02:53Sabrina.
01:02:54How could you?
01:02:55What?
01:02:56I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:57I begged and pleaded.
01:02:58Stop lying.
01:02:59I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:03And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin
01:03:07him.
01:03:08My God.
01:03:09You're disgusting.
01:03:10I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:12Not anymore.
01:03:13Why did you become such a conniving, 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?
01:03:29You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:34That all ends today.
01:03:38You're fired.
01:03:41Fired.
01:03:42No.
01:03:43No.
01:03:46No.
01:03:51No.
01:03:52You 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 to money and to fame.
01:04:00I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:03You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:05There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:10I made you.
01:04:11You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:13I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:14I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:18We're done here, Mom.
01:04:19If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:33Without another word.
01:04:34I have something to say.
01:04:46I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:47I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:56I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:00I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:07Apologize to your father.
01:05:11Do I have to?
01:05:13Who raised you?
01:05:15Cared for you?
01:05:17Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:21Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:25He did.
01:05:26He loved you.
01:05:28But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:30I was wrong.
01:05:31Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:37And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:41I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:45It's gonna be okay, son.
01:05:47I still love you.
01:05:49Okay.
01:05:50Come on, Jackson. Let's go.
01:05:55I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:00For everything.
01:06:10I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:13You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:16I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:20They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:23They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:30People can change.
01:06:32But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:34And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:44Daniel!
01:06:46Daniel!
01:06:47Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:50Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on the shelf for ten years?
01:06:54Yes.
01:06:55I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:00But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:03I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:10You love yourself.
01:07:14Way to go, John!
01:07:33Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:36We'll keep in touch.
01:07:44How many more do we have today?
01:07:4540, sir.
01:07:46Jeez.
01:07:47Hey, boy!
01:07:48How are we looking?
01:07:50We're still big in here.
01:07:52No one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:55I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:58Alright, here's the deal.
01:07:59The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:03Today?
01:08:04Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:05That's why I love you, man.
01:08:06Cool under pressure.
01:08:08This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:14Oh, my God.
01:08:15Alright, just bring in the next one.
01:08:17That would be...
01:08:19Emily Blake.
01:08:22Emily.
01:08:23Amazing as always.
01:08:24You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:33Please.
01:08:35I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:39How's LA treating you?
01:08:40Oh, my God.
01:08:42Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:44Way more traffic.
01:08:45But I am...
01:08:47I'm glad to be back.
01:08:49Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:50Yeah.
01:08:51But...
01:08:52It suits you.
01:08:54You definitely belong here.
01:08:58I do miss you, though.
01:09:00It was fun.
01:09:02Playing the part.
01:09:04British starlet.
01:09:05American director.
01:09:07I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:12Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:17It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:20You...
01:09:21You were amazing, as always.
01:09:23It's just...
01:09:26It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:29I never was, was I?
01:09:31Anyways...
01:09:33Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:36Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:38Yeah.
01:09:50Give me coffee, and...
01:09:51You know what?
01:09:52Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:55And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:02Oh, my God.
01:10:04What am I gonna do?
01:10:11That was quick.
01:10:20What are you doing here?
01:10:24I came to audition.
01:10:29Did you bring any representation?
01:10:31No.
01:10:32I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:35I'm starting fresh.
01:10:37Right, um...
01:10:40Hi.
01:10:42I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:46Don't let me go!
01:10:47I got you.
01:10:49I'll never let you go.
01:10:53Are you okay?
01:10:54Yeah.
01:10:55It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:57never really healed.
01:11:00I understand.
01:11:05Daniel Johnson.
01:11:08Nice to meet you.
01:11:11Please.
01:11:18Are you ready?
01:11:20Are you ready?
01:11:47No.
01:11:49I didn't care.
01:11:50I don't need nothing.
01:11:52I'll never get that off.
01:11:53I can.
01:11:54I'm ready.
01:11:55I'm ready.
01:11:58I'm ready.
01:12:00I'm ready.
01:12:02I'm ready.
01:12:04Anyone else is in the meantime.
01:12:06I'm ready.
01:12:08No.
01:12:09No.
01:12:12No.
01:12:13No.
