00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:09That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:28Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:41You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:47Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:00:55The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:02I'll always love my son.
00:01:03But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:08You didn't still worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:25You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now.
00:01:31Stay. Marry her.
00:01:34Love her.
00:01:36So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:41And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:55Mom. Daniel.
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:02What's going on?
00:02:04Honey.
00:02:05I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:10If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.
00:02:13But I need to go.
00:02:15I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:18Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:23Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:30Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:32Ugh.
00:02:33Can it wait?
00:02:34I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:46I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:49And then he cheated on you.
00:02:50And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:53I'm starving.
00:02:54When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No!
00:03:00I want to eat now!
00:03:02You always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:23I've got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:29Ew!
00:03:30What is this?
00:03:31It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:33I don't want healthy food.
00:03:35I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:36Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:38You can't have that every day.
00:03:40It's not healthy for you.
00:03:41But I want that.
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:01I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:06And my self-exorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:17I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:27Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:43Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:45We'll get you some real food.
00:04:47Seriously.
00:04:52Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:05It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever.
00:05:06My mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:09Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:11Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:17And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:21Yeah, you get it.
00:05:24Love you.
00:05:26I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:36The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:46We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:48I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey mom, how you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good dear.
00:06:09I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:18I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:21But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24Nikki, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, mom.
00:06:33And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42You look wonderful, dear.
00:06:43You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:03Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:13Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:23All right, cut.
00:07:24That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was the rising star.
00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:38Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:44If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:45I was just the senseless.
00:07:57I'm like, what?
00:07:58Oh my God.
00:07:58No, no, no, no.
00:08:04Oh my God.
00:08:07Yeah.
00:08:07Destroy me, President.
00:08:19Just let them know.
00:08:33Maria, don't!
00:08:35Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:43Just...
00:08:44Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:01Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:04No!
00:09:05Don't let me go!
00:09:08I won't ever let you go.
00:09:14I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:21I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:33Good to see you!
00:09:35Oh, my gosh.
00:09:36How long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:39Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:43Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:46Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:50Oh, there he is!
00:09:52The assistant!
00:09:53I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:57How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:02Stop!
00:10:03I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel!
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:15No, it's fine.
00:10:16I'm sorry.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now, but I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:33What are you saying, huh?
00:10:34Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:41It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:53Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:59when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:03So this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:14Oh, careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:27Ew.
00:11:27What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:32Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:42Well, babe, for real?
00:11:44Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:50I'm rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:56I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:04You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:05They were so dull.
00:12:06Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston's a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:15So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21What to do?
00:12:22Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24No, you don't mind.
00:12:25Unless you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress come.
00:12:36So, anyways.
00:12:37Come on, Ben, let's go.
00:12:40That's great.
00:12:41Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:44There's Paps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:49I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:53It is the last time.
00:12:56Guys?
00:12:58Hi.
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:07Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract sign.
00:13:13It's okay.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is there 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:26Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:49Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00Oh, gee.
00:14:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:14:03The scene that I wrote, uncredited of course, even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:10Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:14All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:24You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:26Do you bring her?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:30You get it, right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43It's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:46This is so going viral.
00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:58It looks like more than dating.
00:15:00Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:06You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:09That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:11He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:13Wait, but Preston is awesome.
00:15:17He's an action spy.
00:15:19I wish he was my dad.
00:15:21My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants
00:15:26when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party
00:15:29with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if mom schooled it.
00:15:39Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:40Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:42Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on, then.
00:15:48Let's go Michelle.
00:15:49Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top,
00:16:14and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:16Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23I'm the sound of it.
00:16:24Your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:27Daniel, he's here.
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:31Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:32I was just doing that for Lucy.
00:16:34I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:16:39Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:41Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:49Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53You need to leverage your relationship with Preston,
00:16:55with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:00You're really good at that.
00:17:02Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket,
00:17:08so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over,
00:17:13but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:17I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:22This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:45Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:48We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:52A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09It's fine.
00:18:10Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit,
00:18:13just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look how you see.
00:18:17Is it me?
00:18:18Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:24You know what?
00:18:25Maybe I should go.
00:18:26I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:29I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:33No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:37I'm going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:41I won't ever let you go.
00:18:42He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:50I'm going to go back.
00:18:55Daniel!
00:18:56Daniel!
00:18:59Please.
00:19:00Let them here.
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:04Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:19:05Oh!
00:19:07Oh, good.
00:19:08You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:19:15It was fun.
00:19:17Don't look at me like that.
00:19:18I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:22Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, man.
00:19:36I...
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and...
00:19:39What happened?
00:19:40You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're...
00:19:45You need to let me out.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:48Oh, my...
00:19:50Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:52I...
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise...
00:19:55I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:58I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:08Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:16Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:17You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:27That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house
00:20:33husband.
00:20:33Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:38Oh, my God.
00:20:41God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:50No, it's not like that.
00:20:53I...
00:20:53What?
00:20:55You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59You two look great together.
00:21:00Daniel, I...
00:21:14And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:22Um...
00:21:23I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:34I was never the homemaker.
00:21:39Please, Daniel.
00:21:53I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:57If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:03I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:06Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:26There he is.
00:22:45God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:48Man.
00:22:49No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:53I got some.
00:22:58What do you need?
00:22:59Oh, oh.
00:23:00Yeah, there you go.
00:23:02I don't need some of this shit, but...
00:23:03I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:12Hey, uh...
00:23:14You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:17You're not a grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:22Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:27It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:31What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:42Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:44I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:47And it's unfair!
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:50Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:53Ooh!
00:23:55No!
00:23:55Not to play with them!
00:23:59You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:08It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:15Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:18You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:25I said don't push.
00:24:28Go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-server.
00:24:35God, what the hell is he just showing me?
00:24:40Call it a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching a kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:42He's not your kid.
00:24:44I wish I was!
00:24:46I hope Mom buries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:51Ouch!
00:24:52I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:24:54So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:56I don't think.
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:03Man of the house?
00:25:04Please.
00:25:05You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed apart!
00:25:12Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:14How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:16I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star!
00:25:20A star?
00:25:21A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:25Jackson, come on.
00:25:26I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:28No, I'm not going!
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you!
00:25:32Preston!
00:25:33Preston!
00:25:34Preston!
00:25:34Preston!
00:25:36Preston!
00:25:36Preston!
00:25:37Preston!
00:25:38Preston!
00:25:39Preston!
00:25:40Preston!
00:25:41Preston!
00:25:42Preston!
00:25:43Preston!
00:25:44Preston!
00:25:45Preston!
00:25:46Preston!
00:25:47Preston!
00:25:48Preston!
00:25:49Preston!
00:25:49Preston!
00:25:50Preston!
00:25:51Preston!
00:25:52Preston!
00:25:53Preston!
00:25:54Preston!
00:25:55Preston!
00:25:56Preston!
00:25:57Preston!
00:25:58Preston!
00:25:59Preston!
00:26:00Preston!
00:26:01Preston!
00:26:02Preston!
00:26:03Preston!
00:26:04Preston!
00:26:05Preston!
00:26:06Preston!
00:26:07Preston!
00:26:08Preston!
00:26:09Preston!
00:26:10Preston!
00:26:11Preston!
00:26:12Preston!
00:26:13Preston!
00:26:14Preston!
00:26:15Preston!
00:26:16Preston!
00:26:17Preston!
00:26:18Preston!
00:26:19Daniel. I just wanted to hang out with Jackson. I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:23What? I didn't.
00:26:24Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you? You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:28I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank. Bro, I'm up. Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What? Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:43Maybe I should go. I'm sorry.
00:26:45No. Oh my God.
00:26:48He's lying.
00:26:50You're a monster.
00:26:52And in front of your son? You have to be kidding.
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:59We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on. Clean this up.
00:27:05Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:11You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:26You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:43To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.
00:27:47You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:47Trouble with the missus?
00:27:50Uh... Yeah.
00:27:53Pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:03Miss Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:09I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:28:12You said, um, couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official.
00:28:19She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:29Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:32No, it's...
00:28:34It's my wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Daniel!
00:28:42Sweet and caring.
00:28:45So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:54Fuck you!
00:28:58Fuck you!
00:29:00I'm gonna get my shit and go.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:07I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:09It needs the right producer.
00:29:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:24Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:29Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:35I've been busy.
00:29:36Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:39Seriously?
00:29:40Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:49I, I just, I'm sorry.
00:29:54I, bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what it is.
00:30:04But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:12And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:17But, I just, I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:25I, I care about you.
00:30:31I love it.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention.
00:30:41Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever wants to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking.
00:31:06We could revisit your script.
00:31:11I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah.
00:31:17The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:25Me and you.
00:31:26The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:30I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:36Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves
00:31:42into the script, just like we used to in film school.
00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:52Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it
00:32:16was awful.
00:32:18Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how
00:32:21you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:23I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:32I knew it.
00:32:34You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:49It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:52No, no, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:02Just leave it.
00:33:05I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:09And what?
00:33:10It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I have a mirror.
00:33:20Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:22What?
00:33:38Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:40Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:41Not quite.
00:33:42That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:50Remember that.
00:33:51I'll text you the address.
00:33:53Where's Mimi?
00:33:53I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:10She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere.
00:34:14And where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Oh, wow.
00:34:25If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:33We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is?
00:34:37Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:40He's been staying with us.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:44Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:54Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:06What are you doing here?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:11Get lost.
00:35:14You embarrass us.
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:21Is there a problem?
00:35:29Oh, my God.
00:35:31That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:36If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:38I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and head out because you're starting to make a scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:52You showed up uninvited.
00:35:55In street rags.
00:35:57Abused Sabrina's kid and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all I was done, was it?
00:36:14You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:20How do you watch her now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh, yeah?
00:36:29What lesson is that, Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:37What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:01Oh, my God.
00:37:02Daniel.
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:17He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:31Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel.
00:37:36Is that true?
00:37:40Sabrina.
00:37:42Oh!
00:37:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them is broken.
00:37:48Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:37:54But Daniel.
00:37:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:01Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:15I have to help Preston.
00:38:19Come on, Jackson.
00:38:41Daniel!
00:38:41I got you.
00:38:44Then let me go.
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:47There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:55Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:20If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:41Don't worry about it.
00:39:42Just drive.
00:39:50I used to make for her approval.
00:39:59Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:06Slow down.
00:40:07I don't know what you're doing.
00:40:09I'm going to call the doctor.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:13What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:20Listen, what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:28Come on.
00:40:29I know you want this.
00:40:30I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to herself.
00:40:36I can finally have you in his bedroom.
00:40:38What am I doing?
00:40:50Daniel is still injured.
00:40:52He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Sabrina?
00:40:57Listen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally come here.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:18Look.
00:41:19I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:28I mean, come on.
00:41:28Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:31Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:40No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:43Where is he?
00:41:44What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:57Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:00Excuse me.
00:42:01Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please.
00:42:05He was the one bleeding out.
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:10He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:14Oh, no.
00:42:16God, Daniel, where are you?
00:42:18I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:22Please try again later.
00:42:25What have I done?
00:42:36Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:39He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:57He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:01No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:07He will be back.
00:43:09No.
00:43:11No.
00:43:21No.
00:43:22Boy, it's all assets.
00:43:24Climb zero, Garcia, Jackson.
00:43:26The waves all spousal support.
00:43:29No.
00:43:30No.
00:43:30He can't leave me.
00:43:32He can't do this to me.
00:43:33I won't sign off on it.
00:43:35I won't sign off on it.
00:43:45No.
00:43:47All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:43:50It can't be.
00:43:52It can't be.
00:44:08It's not her.
00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:12He loves me.
00:44:14He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:19We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years, everything we've been through.
00:44:24I got you.
00:44:48Don't let him go.
00:44:50Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:58No, it's Mom.
00:44:59Is everything okay?
00:45:01He's not panicked.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:05Daniel.
00:45:07He just left us.
00:45:08Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him.
00:45:13We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:15Oh, honey.
00:45:17It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry.
00:45:36Dad, breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:39Jackson?
00:45:42I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:49Your dad.
00:45:51He's left us.
00:45:53I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay, he's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01It was so embarrassing.
00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone.
00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson.
00:46:23You have a dad.
00:46:25And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:27Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry.
00:46:44I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large thumbs have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No.
00:46:51But I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:54I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:12What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:17I can't do this anymore.
00:47:20I'll cancel everything.
00:47:22The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:24I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:29I just want him back.
00:47:31Honey.
00:47:33It's time to let him go.
00:47:35You don't love him anyway.
00:47:37And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:47Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:51He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:00Daniel's my husband.
00:48:02And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with
00:48:08his child just because the contract ended?
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:14What are you talking about?
00:48:20Forget it.
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:23Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on
00:48:29a trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please.
00:48:33I just want the truth.
00:48:35Mom.
00:48:36Fine.
00:48:37I will tell you the truth.
00:48:40But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:48But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:51When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:58I had to save you.
00:49:00She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:04You've always been there for her.
00:49:06From film school to now.
00:49:08I've seen it.
00:49:09She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:13So that she's never alone again.
00:49:22It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:26How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:30You wanted to control me.
00:49:32All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:37You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:46Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you where he went.
00:49:54Where is he?
00:49:55You can do better than him.
00:49:57You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't.
00:50:07Yes, he is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone again.
00:50:13I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of HAL, the tame silver box that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:17I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of HAL, the tame silver box that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:42Speaking of which, there he is now.
00:50:46Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:50Daniel, your film received the palm door at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:56Um, honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shit.
00:51:00Nobody told me how.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:07Uh, yeah.
00:51:08Um, god, my career's been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:17But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Uh, speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:34Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:55He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:12That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:52:31She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:39The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:48And get used to compliments.
00:52:50There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:52Finish me, I know.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01I know it's now.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:04Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:53:09Silver's just got a head start.
00:53:10I know.
00:53:25I know.
00:53:27Daniel becomes an award-winning director
00:53:33and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:38He can't do this to me!
00:53:40Sabrina, you don't need him.
00:53:42Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:53Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:55He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:53:59I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world!
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, and he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:19Your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:37No!
00:54:38Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:46When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:18No!
00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:32Hey, babe.
00:55:33Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:37Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:48That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year?
00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:09And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:38Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:03No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please, please, I love you.
00:57:06Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey, just...
00:57:16Now.
00:57:17Just give me your hand.
00:57:18Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:19I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:21Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:26I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:31He truly knew me.
00:57:34He loved me.
00:57:36Every flaw.
00:57:39Every fear.
00:57:41Contract or not.
00:57:43He truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:47Saved me?
00:57:49You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:52Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:54And he saved me from you.
00:57:57Security!
00:58:00Security!
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:01Just stop talking about this.
00:58:02No.
00:58:03Come on.
00:58:04Celeste.
00:58:05Do something.
00:58:06Come on.
00:58:06Sabrina.
00:58:07Come on, Sabrina.
00:58:09Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all you care about?
00:58:18The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:58:21God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:32I love you.
00:58:34Then prove it.
00:58:35But if you ever want me in front of the camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:53You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:57In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:03I mean, you know this.
00:59:04You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:07All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:09You're a powerhouse sitting idle in the wrong country.
00:59:12I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:14Come on.
00:59:15You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:59:20not London.
00:59:21That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:59:26It didn't really end well.
00:59:28Let me guess.
00:59:29My girl?
00:59:29If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:34You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:38You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:42You've given me a lot to think about.
00:59:44Three-picture deal.
00:59:45Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:47Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:49I don't know what to say.
00:59:50I'll just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember, Daniel, you can't run away from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:12Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:15Can we talk?
01:00:15Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:21Of course.
01:00:21It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:26Is this a personal story?
01:00:28Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:33Oh...
01:00:34She knows who she is.
01:00:36Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:40You arrogant little shit.
01:00:42I told you, if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:53It's Les Donovan.
01:00:54I need a favor.
01:00:55I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:01:01It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom?
01:01:07What are you doing?
01:01:08Did you just break my TV?
01:01:14Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:17You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:19You've been so kind, though.
01:01:20Um, it's called...
01:01:21You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:25He's back.
01:01:27Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:30Honey, I don't want you spiraling again.
01:01:32I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:35I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not.
01:01:39You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:40If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:44Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:46He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:51I just need to talk to him.
01:01:53Let him go.
01:01:57Mom.
01:01:59Honey, I...
01:02:00You know, I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:05I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:09I love you.
01:02:11I love you, too.
01:02:15Here we go.
01:02:16This is, um...
01:02:19It's another movie deal.
01:02:20I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks.
01:02:418 p.m.
01:02:43After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:48He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:50She's not protecting me.
01:03:01She's protecting her business.
01:03:03And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:05But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:08It's so nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:14Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:16A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:22If you can even call them that.
01:03:23You're healthy now.
01:03:24And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:27I mean, yeah, there was a time that I love Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:31To marriage, to kids.
01:03:34I mean, we really tried.
01:03:36I thought I could make it go for it, but it's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:42I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:45Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:57She dumped him.
01:03:58It was all over People Magazine.
01:04:00She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:04Oh my gosh, it was.
01:04:11Daniel!
01:04:14Stop!
01:04:15Sabina, what are you doing here?
01:04:25I'm here to help you.
01:04:26Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:04:29Let's go home.
01:04:30Sabrina?
01:04:31How could you?
01:04:32I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:36I begged and pleaded.
01:04:38Stop lying.
01:04:40I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:43And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:49My God, you're disgusting.
01:04:52I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:53I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:54Not anymore.
01:04:55Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:05:00I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:05:02I'm your mother.
01:05:04I only want what's best for you.
01:05:08What's best for me?
01:05:11You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:16And that all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:23Fired.
01:05:25No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:33No.
01:05:34You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please.
01:05:36Please, sweetie.
01:05:37I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:39You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:42I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:47You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:50There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:53I made you.
01:05:55You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:59I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:01We're done here, Mom.
01:06:10If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:17Without another word.
01:06:18I have something to say.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:36I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:43I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:53Apologize to your father.
01:06:55Do I have to?
01:06:57Who raised you?
01:06:59Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:05Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:09He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:12But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:14I was wrong.
01:07:16Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:21And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:25I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:30It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:32I love you.
01:07:33Okay.
01:07:34Come on, Jackson.
01:07:35Let's go.
01:07:36Let's go.
01:07:42I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:45For everything.
01:07:50I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of going back to them.
01:08:00I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:05They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:08They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:15People can change.
01:08:18But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:20And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:31Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:33I'm here, Daniel!
01:08:34Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:40Yes.
01:08:41I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:47But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:50I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:09:00Way to go, John!
01:09:10Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:23We'll keep in touch.
01:09:30What do we have today?
01:09:32Forty.
01:09:33Sorry.
01:09:33Jeez.
01:09:34Hey, boy!
01:09:35How are we looking?
01:09:36Still digging?
01:09:37Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:41I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:45All right, here's the deal.
01:09:46The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:50Today?
01:09:51Are you fucking cute?
01:09:52That's why I love you, man.
01:09:54Cool under pressure.
01:09:55This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:10:01Oh, my God.
01:10:02All right, just bring in the next one.
01:10:03But that would be Emily Blake.
01:10:10Emily.
01:10:15Emily.
01:10:16Amazing, as always.
01:10:18You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:21Please.
01:10:23I was going to miss a shot to audition for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:26So, how's L.A. treating you?
01:10:29Oh, my God.
01:10:30Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:33But I am...
01:10:34I'm glad to be back.
01:10:37Well, it's not me with this countryside.
01:10:38Yeah.
01:10:39But it suits you.
01:10:42You definitely belong here.
01:10:46I do miss you, though.
01:10:48It was fun.
01:10:50Playing the part.
01:10:52British starlet.
01:10:53American director.
01:10:54I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:00Waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:03I'm sorry, I don't mean...
01:11:05It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:11:08You were amazing, as always.
01:11:11It's just...
01:11:13It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:17I never was, was I?
01:11:20Anyways.
01:11:22Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:25Maybe I'll see you around?
01:11:27Yeah.
01:11:39Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:41Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:44And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:46Oh, my God.
01:11:53What am I going to do?
01:12:00That was quick.
01:12:01What are you doing here?
01:12:14I came to audition.
01:12:18Did you bring any representation?
01:12:20No.
01:12:21I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:23I'm starting fresh.
01:12:26Right, um...
01:12:29Hi.
01:12:32I'm Serena Donovan.
01:12:36Don't let me go!
01:12:38I got you.
01:12:39I'll never let you go.
01:12:43Are you okay?
01:12:44Yeah.
01:12:45It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:47never really healed.
01:12:49I understand.
01:12:56Daniel Johnson.
01:12:58Nice to meet you.
01:13:02Please.
01:13:10Now are you ready?
01:13:12I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:13I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:14I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:14I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:15I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:15I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:16I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:16I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:17I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:17I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:18I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:19I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:19I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:20I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:20I'll see you in the next one.
01:13:21I'll see you in the next one.
