00:00:00She has to worship Sabrina. What happened?

00:00:02Sabrina was a rising star.

00:00:04And Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.

00:00:09You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?

00:00:11You will end up with nothing.

00:00:13The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.

00:00:16I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.

00:00:19Why don't you make this little vacay of yours?

00:00:21Perfect.

00:00:22Get out of Hollywood.

00:00:23In fact, get out of the country.

00:00:25I gave it everything I had.

00:00:27Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.

00:00:31No.

00:00:32What have I done?

00:00:33He can't be gone.

00:00:34He can't.

00:00:35Daniel is a pathetic nobody.

00:00:38Being with me hurt his career.

00:00:40Look at what you've got.

00:00:41You have everything.

00:00:43I don't have him.

00:00:46Daniel!

00:00:46He still loves me.

00:00:48He has to.

00:00:49And we need to find him at all costs.

00:00:51Daniel!

00:00:57And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.

00:01:06That loser actually won an Oscar?

00:01:09Who knew the house hubby had it in him?

00:01:11I'm an industry joke now.

00:01:13Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?

00:01:20Wow, you did your homework.

00:01:21Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.

00:01:26I will tell you this.

00:01:27I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.

00:01:32Daniel really did it.

00:01:34The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.

00:01:37You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?

00:01:41You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.

00:01:43Our contract expired.

00:01:45I'm only telling you because you're her manager.

00:01:48If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.

00:01:51The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.

00:01:57I'll always love my son.

00:01:59But he's a bully, and he learned her from the best in the business.

00:02:02His grandmother.

00:02:03You used to worship Sabrina.

00:02:05What happened?

00:02:06That was a long time ago.

00:02:08America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.

00:02:11All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.

00:02:15But her career is hanging by a thread.

00:02:16I need to get those paparazzi off her back.

00:02:20You've always loved her, Daniel.

00:02:22I've seen it.

00:02:24She needs that now.

00:02:26Stay.

00:02:27Marry her.

00:02:29Love her.

00:02:30So that she doesn't face the world alone.

00:02:32I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.

00:02:36And I'd cherish her like no other man would.

00:02:38If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.

00:02:46This was the last one.

00:02:47Mom, Daniel.

00:02:52What's going on?

00:02:56What's going on?

00:02:57Honey!

00:02:59I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.

00:03:04If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.

00:03:06But I need to go.

00:03:08I have an appointment with your stylist.

00:03:11Think about it, Daniel.

00:03:12Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.

00:03:23Sabrina, we need to talk.

00:03:25Ugh, can it wait?

00:03:26I'm seriously so spent.

00:03:29I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.

00:03:33I saw Preston was there.

00:03:36I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.

00:03:39I mean, we owe him.

00:03:40Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.

00:03:45I'm starving.

00:03:46When are we eating?

00:03:47Lunch is on the stove.

00:03:49But first, your mother and I need to talk.

00:03:52No!

00:03:52I want to eat now!

00:03:54You always know the spot.

00:04:06He doesn't listen.

00:04:07Daniel, please.

00:04:09I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Fanity Fair shoot.

00:04:15Ugh.

00:04:17I got something I need to tell you.

00:04:18I'll make it quick.

00:04:19This isn't easy, but I'm...

00:04:20Ew!

00:04:21What is this?

00:04:23It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.

00:04:24I don't want healthy food.

00:04:26I want chicken nuggets!

00:04:27Chicken nuggets!

00:04:28Chicken nuggets!

00:04:29You can't have that every day.

00:04:31It's not healthy for you.

00:04:32But I want that!

00:04:34Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.

00:04:38You suck!

00:04:39I want chicken nuggets!

00:04:41Give me chicken nuggets!

00:04:42I waited.

00:04:50I gave it everything I had.

00:04:54But it takes two to make a marriage work.

00:04:56And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.

00:05:02Enough.

00:05:02Just enough.

00:05:08I want a divorce.

00:05:11I want a divorce.

00:05:13Sabrina, did you hear me?

00:05:19Huh?

00:05:21I want...

00:05:23I want chicken nuggets!

00:05:26Give me chicken nuggets!

00:05:28Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?

00:05:32Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.

00:05:34We'll get you some real food.

00:05:35Seriously, your only job is to take care of the house and the family.

00:05:44I mean, it's not that hard.

00:05:47What is this?

00:05:48Another contract?

00:05:50How big is the role?

00:05:52Who's directing?

00:05:54It's not a...

00:05:54Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.

00:05:57Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.

00:06:00Honestly, I am really at my capacity.

00:06:03I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.

00:06:08Pull my weight?

00:06:09Yeah, you get it.

00:06:11Okay.

00:06:12Mwah!

00:06:13Love you.

00:06:14I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.

00:06:18If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.

00:06:21Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.

00:06:30The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.

00:06:34We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.

00:06:36I can't.

00:06:37My wife needs me here in L.A.

00:06:39After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.

00:06:47At least there is one good thing to come from this.

00:06:50I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.

00:06:53Hey, Mom.

00:06:54How you doing?

00:06:54Oh, good, dear.

00:06:56I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.

00:07:01Do you need more?

00:07:01No, no, no, no.

00:07:02You've already done so much.

00:07:05I'm just trying to help.

00:07:06I know.

00:07:07But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.

00:07:10I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.

00:07:18I am, Mom.

00:07:20And I promise, very soon...

00:07:26Everything's gonna change.

00:07:27You look so wonderful, dear.

00:07:29You deserve more than what they put you through.

00:07:32Everyone, come quick!

00:07:32Come quick!

00:07:33I gotta go.

00:07:34Love you.

00:07:38What is it, Mom?

00:07:39Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.

00:07:42Our favorite leading man.

00:07:44Come on.

00:07:45Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.

00:07:58Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.

00:08:01All right, cut!

00:08:09That's a wrap, everyone.

00:08:10Thank you!

00:08:12We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.

00:08:15Sabrina was a rising star.

00:08:17I was just the director's assistant.

00:08:21Our future's ahead of us.

00:08:23If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.

00:08:28If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.

00:08:53You destroyed me, Preston.

00:09:03You spent some blood.

00:09:16Sabrina!

00:09:17Don't!

00:09:19Stay back!

00:09:20Don't.

00:09:21I mean it!

00:09:22Sabrina!

00:09:23Don't do this.

00:09:25Just...

00:09:26Just give me your hand.

00:09:41No!

00:09:42Daniel!

00:09:45I got you.

00:09:46No!

00:09:47Don't let me go!

00:09:49I won't ever let you go.

00:09:50I'm so alone, Daniel.

00:09:59Nobody sees the real me.

00:10:01I see you, Sabrina.

00:10:03I see all of you.

00:10:05And you're never going to be alone again.

00:10:07Good to see you.

00:10:15Oh my gosh, how long has it been?

00:10:18Oh, too long.

00:10:18Look at you!

00:10:20Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.

00:10:23Of course, babe.

00:10:24Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.

00:10:26Are you kidding?

00:10:27Oh, Daniel.

00:10:28Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?

00:10:31Oh, there he is!

00:10:33The assistant!

00:10:34I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.

00:10:38How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?

00:10:42Stop!

00:10:43I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.

00:10:50Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.

00:10:53Daniel.

00:10:54Oh.

00:10:54Don't embarrass me.

00:10:55No, it's fine.

00:10:56Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?

00:11:01He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?

00:11:05My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.

00:11:07He doesn't let me do anything.

00:11:09Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of Dad's rules.

00:11:12What are you saying, huh?

00:11:14Yeah.

00:11:14Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.

00:11:18That's fine.

00:11:20That's fine.

00:11:21Just relax, okay?

00:11:23Be nice.

00:11:32Some people never change.

00:11:34But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.

00:11:40Yeah, it's nice.

00:11:42But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.

00:11:52Oh, careful.

00:11:54You all right?

00:11:57I'm still starving.

00:11:59Make me some food.

00:12:00Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.

00:12:03Stew?

00:12:05Ew.

00:12:05What is this, a soup kitchen?

00:12:07I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!

00:12:10You know, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.

00:12:13I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.

00:12:16Daniel, I'm a billionaire.

00:12:19Oh, babe.

00:12:21For real?

00:12:22Yeah.

00:12:22My makeup line took me all the way to the top.

00:12:26Donovan Cosmetics.

00:12:28I'm rich.

00:12:30Which means we don't have to be grateful.

00:12:33I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.

00:12:37See, Daniel, that was always your problem.

00:12:39You're so caught up on the morals.

00:12:41You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.

00:12:42They were so dull.

00:12:43Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!

00:12:47Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.

00:12:51So how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?

00:12:55My treat.

00:12:57Here we go.

00:12:57Oh, you don't have to do that.

00:13:00I don't mind.

00:13:01All of you insist.

00:13:03I mean, I'm already dressed.

00:13:04So.

00:13:06Okay.

00:13:08Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.

00:13:12So.

00:13:13Anyways.

00:13:13Come on, Ben.

00:13:14Let's go.

00:13:16Looks great.

00:13:16Gotcha.

00:13:17There we go.

00:13:18Oh.

00:13:20There's Paps.

00:13:22You don't have to come, Daniel.

00:13:24Last time.

00:13:25I promise.

00:13:28You're right.

00:13:29It is the last time.

00:13:32Hey, guys.

00:13:34Hey.

00:13:34Hi.

00:13:36Jackson.

00:13:42Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?

00:13:46Contract's fine.

00:13:48It's over.

00:13:50Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?

00:13:54I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.

00:13:58After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.

00:14:18Why would Celeste invite me here?

00:14:20She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.

00:14:25Sabrina Donovan?

00:14:27I could scream.

00:14:28I'm literally obsessed with you.

00:14:30Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.

00:14:34OMG.

00:14:34I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.

00:14:37A scene that I wrote.

00:14:39Uncredited, of course.

00:14:40Even my success is shadowed by her fame.

00:14:42Wait.

00:14:43Are you two dating?

00:14:44Oh, well, actually.

00:14:45This is totally a date.

00:14:47All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.

00:14:55Do you mind just giving me a little space?

00:14:58You're not really a part of my brand.

00:15:00Your brand?

00:15:01It's just, it's not a good look for me.

00:15:03You get it, right?

00:15:05So, you two are a thing?

00:15:15Well, I...

00:15:16Oh, it's okay, babe.

00:15:16We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.

00:15:27This is so going viral.

00:15:29I can't believe you guys are dating.

00:15:30It looks like more than dating.

00:15:32Are...

00:15:33Is this your son?

00:15:34I wish I was his son, Jackson.

00:15:37Don't be silly.

00:15:38You have a dad, and he's...

00:15:39A sissy.

00:15:40That's what all the boys at school say.

00:15:42He does girly stuff like cook and clean.

00:15:46But Preston is awesome.

00:15:48He's an action spy.

00:15:50I wish he was my dad.

00:15:51My own son doesn't respect me.

00:15:56But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants

00:15:58when he comes home coked out

00:15:59from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.

00:16:02It's okay, buddy.

00:16:03Every spy needs a partner in crime.

00:16:05If you want me around, I'm in.

00:16:08That is, if mom's school with him.

00:16:10Oh, Preston, I don't know.

00:16:11Daniel, he, you know, he's...

00:16:14Preston, what are you doing?

00:16:18Come on.

00:16:19Let's give him a show.

00:16:21Now that's a Hollywood couple.

00:16:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.

00:16:42Sabrina will end up on top,

00:16:44and you will end up with nothing.

00:16:49Daniel!

00:16:49You know, it's probably for the best.

00:16:53From the sound of it,

00:16:54your own son doesn't even want to be around you.

00:16:57Daniel, he's here?

00:16:58Did he see us?

00:16:59Is he looking over here?

00:17:01Fuck, that's not good.

00:17:02I was just doing that for publicity.

00:17:03I didn't mean for him to see us.

00:17:05Actually, it was perfect timing.

00:17:07Once that loser's out of the picture,

00:17:08Sabrina and her money are all mine.

00:17:11Who cares about him, mommy?

00:17:12Now you can be with Mr. Preston.

00:17:14Jackson, enough.

00:17:15What do I do?

00:17:18Well, that's it then.

00:17:21Now I need to handle Sabrina.

00:17:22I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,

00:17:24with the tabloids.

00:17:26I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.

00:17:29You're really good at that.

00:17:30Oh, I have a parting gift for you.

00:17:34A one-way ticket,

00:17:37so you can get as far away from this family as possible.

00:17:40I know the contract is over,

00:17:42but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,

00:17:45I will come after you with everything I got.

00:17:48Daniel loves me.

00:17:49He has to understand.

00:17:51This is Hollywood.

00:17:51It's just part of the job.

00:17:54Daniel, I can explain.

00:17:56Daniel, what is this?

00:18:05I can't let her create a public scene.

00:18:07All it takes is one article to get her canceled.

00:18:10Are you going somewhere?

00:18:12Honey, oh, what a coincidence.

00:18:15We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.

00:18:18Isn't that right, Daniel?

00:18:20A vacation?

00:18:21Finally.

00:18:21You're paying attention.

00:18:23Yeah.

00:18:24I'm going to leave in a few days.

00:18:26Well, thanks for telling your wife.

00:18:29What are we supposed to do without you?

00:18:30Without me cooking and cleaning?

00:18:32That's not what I meant.

00:18:33Whoa.

00:18:34Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.

00:18:36That's fine.

00:18:37Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit,

00:18:40just like any good husband would.

00:18:42Oh, I see.

00:18:43Is it me?

00:18:45Is my presence hurting your ego?

00:18:47I wouldn't put jealousy past him.

00:18:49I always knew you were the self-loathing type.

00:18:51You know what?

00:18:52Maybe I should go.

00:18:53I don't want to get between the two of you.

00:18:54No, please stay.

00:18:56I want you to live with us forever and ever.

00:18:59No, you know what?

00:19:00I'll go.

00:19:02And clearly she wants you.

00:19:04He's willing to dance to his tune.

00:19:05Daniel, wait.

00:19:07I won't ever let you go.

00:19:09He won't leave.

00:19:10He promised.

00:19:12It doesn't have to be like this.

00:19:14We could pull up a chair and we can...

00:19:17I'm going to go back.

00:19:18Daniel!

00:19:21Daniel!

00:19:25Please.

00:19:25It's better than here.

00:19:27This is...

00:19:27Yeah.

00:19:29Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

00:19:31Oh!

00:19:31Oh, good.

00:19:33You're up.

00:19:35After dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.

00:19:40It's fun.

00:19:41Don't look at me like that.

00:19:43I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.

00:19:46Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.

00:19:51How lucky for him.

00:19:52He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.

00:19:55Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.

00:19:59Listen, Matt.

00:20:00I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.

00:20:05You can trust me.

00:20:06Preston, I think you're...

00:20:09You need to go right now.

00:20:11All right.

00:20:13Oh, hey.

00:20:14Daniel, seriously, listen, man.

00:20:17When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.

00:20:22I'm going to be the best man of the house.

00:20:26Just ignore him.

00:20:27He doesn't know what he's saying.

00:20:28No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.

00:20:32Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.

00:20:34Jealous?

00:20:36My God, you still don't get it, do you?

00:20:40Whatever, I'm going to bed.

00:20:44You know, I don't think I should be alone.

00:20:51That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house

00:20:56husband.

00:20:56Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?

00:21:02Oh, my God.

00:21:04God, you're unbelievable.

00:21:05Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?

00:21:12No, it's not like that.

00:21:14I...

00:21:15What?

00:21:17You know what?

00:21:18Fine.

00:21:21You two look great together.

00:21:23Daniel, I...

00:21:23And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.

00:21:39I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.

00:21:51Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.

00:21:55I was never the homemaker.

00:22:01Please, Daniel.

00:22:02Daniel.

00:22:03Daniel.

00:22:09I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.

00:22:17If you're sick, can you go in the other room?

00:22:23I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.

00:22:26Look at her now, playing house for another man.

00:22:42If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.

00:22:46I have a press junket.

00:22:56I've got a press junket.

00:22:57I've got to do a fucking workout.

00:23:03Hey!

00:23:03There he is!

00:23:04God, I wish I could sleep in until 8am.

00:23:07Man.

00:23:08No, I had to wake up and have a 5am workout.

00:23:10A life of an A. Lister, I guess.

00:23:12I've got some...

00:23:15Yeah.

00:23:17What do you mean...

00:23:18Oh, oh.

00:23:19Yeah, there you go.

00:23:20I'd offer you some of this shit, but...

00:23:22I doubt you'd like it.

00:23:23Yeah, this shit's straight-up protein.

00:23:25Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!

00:23:31Hey, uh...

00:23:32You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?

00:23:36No? A grown man that needs a babysitter?

00:23:40Why would I be threatened by that?

00:23:45It's finally time to make this hack disappear.

00:23:55What's wrong, Jackson?

00:24:00Mr. Eastwood! I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!

00:24:05And it's unfair!

00:24:06That's a shame, huh? You know what? Let me grab it for you, little man.

00:24:09Here we go.

00:24:11Ooh!

00:24:12He knows not to play with them.

00:24:16You never let me do anything!

00:24:19Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel. You guys can afford an aquarium.

00:24:24It's not about the money. It's about him learning how to respect living things.

00:24:28Unfortunately, he's surrounded by... bad examples.

00:24:32Yeah? What's that supposed to mean?

00:24:35You're so annoying!

00:24:37Don't push!

00:24:43I said don't push. Go get a book or something.

00:24:46Why don't you get your hands off him?

00:24:48He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.

00:24:51God, what the hell? You just shot me?

00:24:54Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.

00:24:58He's not your kid.

00:25:00I wish I would!

00:25:01I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever!

00:25:04I hate seeing your stupid face!

00:25:07Ouch!

00:25:08I mean, you just heard your son.

00:25:10So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?

00:25:12Maybe it will be.

00:25:13But until then, I'm still the man of the house.

00:25:16You?

00:25:18Man of the house? Please.

00:25:20You're a pussy in an apron.

00:25:22I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.

00:25:25And you're a washed up pack!

00:25:27Still riding on all your old headlines.

00:25:29How were your latest box office numbers, huh?

00:25:31I heard your agents begging for scraps.

00:25:33I'm a fucking star!

00:25:35A star?

00:25:36A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.

00:25:39Jackson, come on.

00:25:41I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.

00:25:43No, I'm not going!

00:25:44Preston's way cooler than you!

00:25:46Preston, Preston, Preston!

00:25:49You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.

00:26:15What was that?

00:26:17Daniel!

00:26:19What is happening?

00:26:21It was Dad, Mom!

00:26:22Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!

00:26:24What?

00:26:25I'm so scared!

00:26:26He got me pretty good, babe.

00:26:27What the hell, Daniel?

00:26:28I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.

00:26:29He came in looking for a fight.

00:26:30What?

00:26:31I didn't.

00:26:32Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?

00:26:34You're acting like a jealous child.

00:26:35I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.

00:26:37He threw a fish tank at me.

00:26:38It's just a fucking fish tank!

00:26:39Grow up!

00:26:40What?

00:26:41What?

00:26:42What?

00:26:43What?

00:26:44What?

00:26:45It's just a fucking fish tank!

00:26:46Grow up!

00:26:47Remember we're in the public eye?

00:26:49What if your little outburst was caught by the press?

00:26:52What?

00:26:53Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?

00:26:55Maybe I should go.

00:26:56I'm sorry.

00:26:57No!

00:26:58Oh my God!

00:26:59He's lying.

00:27:00You're a monster!

00:27:01And in front of your son?

00:27:02You have to be kidding!

00:27:03We have to get you to the hospital.

00:27:04Yeah.

00:27:05We'll talk about this when I get home.

00:27:06Clean this up!

00:27:07Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again.

00:27:21She's mine now, loser.

00:27:30Hello?

00:27:319-1-1.

00:27:32What's your emergency?

00:27:34I'm bleeding out.

00:27:35I think I hit an artery.

00:27:37I need an ambulance now.

00:27:39Now!

00:27:49You did lose a lot of blood.

00:27:51So we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.

00:27:54To be honest, that's...

00:27:56I could use a break from home.

00:27:58Trouble with the missus?

00:28:01Uh...

00:28:02Yeah.

00:28:03It's pretty obvious.

00:28:05Most married folks that come in here are miserable.

00:28:08I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.

00:28:13With Preston Eastwood.

00:28:15True love story holding hands, wiping tears.

00:28:18I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.

00:28:22You said, um, couple?

00:28:25I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!

00:28:30She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.

00:28:34She was so sweet.

00:28:39Need us to check on that shoulder for you?

00:28:42No, it's...

00:28:44It's an old wound.

00:28:46I tore it actually, um...

00:28:4810 years ago.

00:28:50Daniel!

00:28:51Sweet and caring.

00:28:54So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.

00:28:57He only had to break her heart to get it.

00:28:59And left me to pick up the pieces.

00:29:07Fuck!

00:29:08I don't get my shit in y'all.

00:29:12Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.

00:29:14You once liked my short film.

00:29:16I have a script I've been sitting on.

00:29:18It needs the right producer.

00:29:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.

00:29:32Where have you been?

00:29:34I kept calling.

00:29:35I started to feel like one of my stalkers.

00:29:38What?

00:29:39Huh?

00:29:43What?

00:29:44I've been busy.

00:29:45Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.

00:29:47Seriously?

00:29:48Why does it always have to come back to him?

00:29:50I told you, he's just a friend.

00:29:53Yeah.

00:29:54That's what you want to call it?

00:29:57I...

00:29:58I just...

00:30:00I'm sorry.

00:30:01I...

00:30:02Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.

00:30:06It is what it is.

00:30:10But I mean, you know how the industry works.

00:30:15You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.

00:30:19And I think you should go for it.

00:30:21I mean, you always do what's best for your career.

00:30:24But...

00:30:25I just...

00:30:26I don't want you to be upset with me.

00:30:31Seriously.

00:30:32I...

00:30:33I care about you.

00:30:38I'm the man.

00:30:40I've known you for 14 years.

00:30:42I know when you're angry.

00:30:43Really?

00:30:44I didn't think you paid attention.

00:30:46I pay attention?

00:30:49Since when do I not pay attention?

00:30:51She signed the papers without reading them.

00:30:54That's all this marriage ever was to her.

00:30:56A headline.

00:30:57A performance.

00:31:00Sabrina.

00:31:04Sabrina, I'm good-

00:31:05You know what?

00:31:06I hate fighting.

00:31:07So, let's just forget about this, okay?

00:31:09I was thinking...

00:31:12We could...

00:31:13Revisit your script.

00:31:17I gave that to you three years ago.

00:31:19You tell me you've finally read it?

00:31:21Well, yeah.

00:31:22The first ten pages.

00:31:23But...

00:31:24They're good.

00:31:25The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.

00:31:28I mean, we have to do this.

00:31:30Me and you.

00:31:31The lead actress and the writer-director.

00:31:33I gave up on that dream of us working together.

00:31:37A long time ago.

00:31:39Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.

00:31:47Just like we used to in film school.

00:31:49There was a time when this would have worked on me.

00:31:53I would have melted in her hands.

00:31:56Now I just want to pack and get out of here.

00:31:59Fine.

00:32:14I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful.

00:32:21I've had a lot of experience making it for you and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.

00:32:25That's not what I meant.

00:32:28I like it when you make it.

00:32:31I'm not going to always be here to make it.

00:32:36I knew it.

00:32:38You are mad that I brought Preston back here.

00:32:40I told you it was just a publicity stunt.

00:32:44It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.

00:32:48Married people are fucking boring.

00:32:52It's good to know where you stand.

00:32:54No, Daniel.

00:32:55No, that's not what I meant.

00:33:02Look what you made me do.

00:33:04Just...

00:33:06Just leave it.

00:33:08I just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.

00:33:12And what?

00:33:13It would make up for all the years of indifference?

00:33:15I'm just trying to do something nice.

00:33:16And look what I get for it.

00:33:19You know what?

00:33:20Forget it.

00:33:21I have a premiere.

00:33:22We'll just talk about this tomorrow.

00:33:23What?

00:33:24Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?

00:33:26Yeah.

00:33:27Ex-mother-in-law.

00:33:28Not quite.

00:33:29That was the divorce contract.

00:33:30But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.

00:33:35This is showbiz, baby.

00:33:36Remember that.

00:33:37I'll text you the address of where to meet me.

00:33:38Thanks.

00:33:39Bye.

00:33:40Bye.

00:33:42Bye, bye.

00:33:43Bye.

00:33:44Bye.

00:33:45Bye.

00:33:46Bye.

00:33:48Bye.

00:33:49Bye.

00:33:50Bye.

00:33:51Bye.

00:33:52Bye.

00:33:53Bye.

00:33:54Bye.

00:33:55Bye.

00:33:56Bye.

00:33:57Bye.

00:33:58I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.

00:34:09Oh, please. She's always been so secretive. I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?

00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him. I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.

00:34:23Well, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot. Come here.

00:34:30Jackson! We were just talking about your mom. Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?

00:34:38She's with Mr. Eastwood. He's been staying with us.

00:34:41Oh, really? Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?

00:34:47Oh, I hope so. I really hope so. He's way cooler than my old, boring, real dad.

00:34:52Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.

00:34:56Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.

00:35:05What are you doing here? You never come to these things!

00:35:08Well, that's gotta be the husband.

00:35:11Get lost! You embarrass us!

00:35:14Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.

00:35:17I wish you never were my dad!

00:35:22Is there a problem?

00:35:27Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood.

00:35:30How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?

00:35:33If there was a problem, that's none of your business.

00:35:36I wish Preston was my dad! You're a pathetic loser!

00:35:39Zip it, Jackson!

00:35:41You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.

00:35:46I'm just here to talk to Celeste.

00:35:48That's not what I see.

00:35:50You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid and picked a fight with an A-lister.

00:35:58That's the kind of story the press would devour.

00:36:01Doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.

00:36:04And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.

00:36:09This was all a stunt, wasn't it?

00:36:11You were revolting.

00:36:12No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.

00:36:15Hey!

00:36:17Why don't you watch your mouth?

00:36:19Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.

00:36:22Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson.

00:36:24Oh yeah?

00:36:25What lesson is that, Preston?

00:36:27You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?

00:36:31Hmm.

00:36:35Oh!

00:36:52The hell?

00:36:53What happened?

00:36:55Oh my god!

00:36:56Daniel!

00:36:57What the hell happened?

00:37:00Daniel, you're bleeding.

00:37:02Are you okay?

00:37:03Look at her go.

00:37:05Hollywood's finest.

00:37:07Always performing when there's an audience.

00:37:10It's Daniel.

00:37:11He's a monster.

00:37:12He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.

00:37:15Mommy!

00:37:16Dad came in here and started shouting at me.

00:37:19No.

00:37:20No, that's not true.

00:37:21If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.

00:37:26Can you imagine the allegations?

00:37:30Daniel.

00:37:31Is that true?

00:37:35Sabrina.

00:37:37Oh!

00:37:38Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.

00:37:41I think one of them is broken.

00:37:43Sabrina.

00:37:44Honey.

00:37:45We need to help Preston.

00:37:49But Daniel.

00:37:50Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.

00:37:53Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.

00:38:06Mommy, please! We can't leave him!

00:38:08I...

00:38:09I...

00:38:10I have...

00:38:11I have to help Preston.

00:38:12I...

00:38:13I have...

00:38:14I have to help Preston.

00:38:19God.

00:38:21I got you.

00:38:27Come on, Jackson.

00:38:28Daniel!

00:38:29I got you.

00:38:30Don't let me go!

00:38:31She's made her choice.

00:38:32There's no going back.

00:38:33We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.

00:38:47Well, that went even better than I planned.

00:38:58Now we can make a clean break.

00:39:00I wasn't waiting for your permission.

00:39:02There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.

00:39:07Get out of Hollywood.

00:39:09In fact, get out of the country.

00:39:12If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.

00:39:18Don't worry about it.

00:39:33Just drive.

00:39:34I used to ache for her approval.

00:39:50Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.

00:39:54Seriously?

00:39:56Slow down.

00:39:59I'm gonna go call the doctor, okay?

00:40:04What are you doing?

00:40:05I thought you were hurt.

00:40:06I think I'll pull through.

00:40:14So what are you doing?

00:40:16Well, I've always wanted to.

00:40:18Come on.

00:40:19I know you want this.

00:40:20I see the way you look at me.

00:40:22Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.

00:40:26I can finally have you in this bedroom.

00:40:34What am I doing?

00:40:39Daniel is still injured.

00:40:41He should be home.

00:40:45Sabrina?

00:40:55Preston, get off.

00:40:57What?

00:40:59Babe, we can finally...

00:41:01I said get off.

00:41:03What?

00:41:04I need to go take care of Daniel.

00:41:05No, forget about him.

00:41:07Look, I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.

00:41:12I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.

00:41:15I mean, come on.

00:41:17Sabrina, your son, your mother.

00:41:19Even Daniel is pushing us together.

00:41:21What?

00:41:23Look, he's already moved on.

00:41:26No.

00:41:28No.

00:41:29What have I done?

00:41:31Where is he?

00:41:32What about me?

00:41:33You had your chance ten years ago.

00:41:36I need to go take care of my husband.

00:41:44Hello?

00:41:46Excuse me.

00:41:47Excuse me.

00:41:48Hi.

00:41:49Have you seen my husband?

00:41:50Please.

00:41:51He was the one bleeding out.

00:41:53I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.

00:41:57He didn't come back in though.

00:42:01Oh no.

00:42:03Daniel, where are you?

00:42:05I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.

00:42:09Please try again later.

00:42:11What have I done?

00:42:20Come on, Daniel.

00:42:21Answer me.

00:42:23He's not gone.

00:42:24I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.

00:42:30He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.

00:42:33No.

00:42:34No.

00:42:35It's not possible.

00:42:36He will be back.

00:42:37No.

00:42:38No.

00:42:39No.

00:42:40It's not possible.

00:42:41He will be back.

00:42:42No.

00:42:43No.

00:42:44No.

00:42:45No.

00:42:46No.

00:42:47No.

00:42:50It's not possible.

00:42:51No.

00:42:52No.

00:42:53No.

00:42:55I'm sorry.

00:42:56No.

00:43:06Boy, it's all assets.

00:43:08Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.

00:43:11The waves all spousal support.

00:43:14No, no, he can't leave me.

00:43:17He can't do this to me.

00:43:18I won't sign off on it.

00:43:26No, all this time, he's gonna leave me.

00:43:48It can't be.

00:43:52It's not a...

00:43:53Honestly, it doesn't matter.

00:43:54My mom will look it over anyways.

00:43:56He loves me.

00:43:58He loves Jackson.

00:44:00He wouldn't just leave us.

00:44:02We're his family.

00:44:04After all these years,

00:44:06everything we've been through...

00:44:26I got you.

00:44:30Don't let me go!

00:44:33Was I ever really paying attention?

00:44:39Daniel?

00:44:39No, it's Mom.

00:44:41Is everything okay?

00:44:43You sound panicked.

00:44:43Mom!

00:44:46Mom!

00:44:46Daniel, he just left us.

00:44:50Do you know where he is?

00:44:54We have to find him.

00:44:55We can check the hospital or the...

00:44:57Oh, honey.

00:44:59It's over.

00:45:00Daniel's not coming back.

00:45:02You knew?

00:45:04I'll come over in the morning

00:45:05and explain everything.

00:45:06I'm hungry!

00:45:07I'm hungry!

00:45:16Dad!

00:45:17Breakfast should be ready by now!

00:45:20Jackson?

00:45:21I have something to tell you.

00:45:27Your dad...

00:45:27Your dad?

00:45:32He's left us.

00:45:34I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.

00:45:36Yay!

00:45:37He's gone!

00:45:39Why would you say that?

00:45:41He was so embarrassing!

00:45:42Even Mr. Eastwood...

00:45:44Mr. Eastwood?

00:45:46What did Preston say?

00:45:48He said a pathetic pussy like that

00:45:49should stick to scrubbing toilets

00:45:51than raising a young man.

00:45:54He was so lame and boring.

00:45:56Now he's gone!

00:45:58Mr. Eastwood is way cooler!

00:46:00He can be my new dad!

00:46:02Jackson!

00:46:03You have a dad!

00:46:05And he's cared for you for seven years!

00:46:07Yeah, but I hate him!

00:46:15Hello?

00:46:16Do you have any news about Daniel?

00:46:18Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.

00:46:20I noticed a few unusual transfers.

00:46:22I'm sorry, I don't have the time.

00:46:23Large sums have been wired to someone named

00:46:26Preston Eastwood.

00:46:28Was that done with your approval?

00:46:29No, but I'm not surprised.

00:46:32Flag his name.

00:46:33I want him frozen and cut off.

00:46:37Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say

00:46:39Preston's name again.

00:46:41Okay?

00:46:41He's not the man you think he is.

00:46:44Your father, the one who raised you

00:46:45and cared about you, is out there.

00:46:47And we need to find him at all costs.

00:46:50What kind of coward abandons his family?

00:46:54It's despicable.

00:46:55I can't do this anymore.

00:46:58I cancel everything.

00:47:00The interviews and the red carpets.

00:47:02I don't want to be seen.

00:47:05I can't pretend.

00:47:07I just want him back.

00:47:09Oh, honey.

00:47:11Time to let him go.

00:47:13You don't love him anyway.

00:47:15Think about what Preston would do for your career.

00:47:18What?

00:47:22How could you say something like that?

00:47:25Of course I love Daniel.

00:47:27He cares for me.

00:47:28He sees me.

00:47:29He was there for me when Preston dropped me

00:47:32like I was nothing.

00:47:34But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.

00:47:37Daniel's my husband.

00:47:39And the father of my son.

00:47:40Yeah, some husband.

00:47:42Abandoning you without a moment's notice.

00:47:44Wanting nothing to do with his child

00:47:45just because the contract ended.

00:47:47Contract?

00:47:48What contract?

00:47:49What contract?

00:47:54What are you talking about?

00:47:57Forget it.

00:47:58Forget it.

00:47:59Just pretend I didn't say anything.

00:48:00When I caught you and Daniel

00:48:02at the restaurant the other day,

00:48:04you said that he was going on a trip.

00:48:06Is there something you're not telling me?

00:48:08Please.

00:48:09I just want the truth.

00:48:11Mom.

00:48:11Fine.

00:48:13I will tell you the truth.

00:48:16But promise me you won't get mad.

00:48:18I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.

00:48:24But no, it was all for your own good.

00:48:30When Preston left you, you were distraught.

00:48:32I had to save you.

00:48:35She's lost without you, Daniel.

00:48:39You've always been there for her.

00:48:41From film school to now.

00:48:42I've seen it.

00:48:44She needs you.

00:48:45Stay.

00:48:47Marry her.

00:48:47Love her.

00:48:48So that she's never alone again.

00:48:57It was all just some sort of obligation?

00:49:01How could you do this to me?

00:49:03I wanted to protect you.

00:49:05You wanted to control me.

00:49:07All because you needed me for my career, my money.

00:49:10Well, it worked, didn't it?

00:49:11You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.

00:49:19Daniel did what he was meant to do.

00:49:21He kept you together.

00:49:23Where?

00:49:24Where did he go?

00:49:26I know he told you where he went.

00:49:28Where is he?

00:49:29You can do better than him.

00:49:31You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.

00:49:35Believe me, it's for the best.

00:49:37No.

00:49:38He can't be gone.

00:49:39He can't.

00:49:40Yes, he is gone, and he is gone forever.

00:49:44He can't be.

00:49:45He can't be gone.

00:49:46He can't.

00:49:47I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated

00:50:11a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.

00:50:16Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.

00:50:22Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

00:50:26What's going through your head tonight?

00:50:28Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own sheet.

00:50:31Nobody told me how.

00:50:34Oh, man.

00:50:35How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.

00:50:37I've heard this talk of a sequel.

00:50:38Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I haven't been very

00:50:45honest about it, actually.

00:50:46I almost, I almost gave up the dream.

00:50:48But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and it really

00:50:54is full steam ahead.

00:50:56Speaking of London, since you're an American right director, will you be making your way

00:51:00back to Hollywood?

00:51:03Hollywood.

00:51:05Get out of the country.

00:51:07If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living

00:51:13hell.

00:51:16Daniel?

00:51:30He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.

00:51:34Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.

00:51:41That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, a two-time Golden Globe Award-winning

00:51:46actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

00:51:50Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.

00:51:53We'll never tell.

00:51:58Oh, my God, thanks for saving me.

00:52:00She was practically eye-fucking you.

00:52:02I know, jeez.

00:52:03This is so surreal.

00:52:05I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.

00:52:07I can.

00:52:08The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.

00:52:13Daniel, enjoy this.

00:52:16And get used to compliments.

00:52:19There's already asked of us.

00:52:20Fuck.

00:52:21Finish me, I know.

00:52:22I feel like I'm dreaming.

00:52:26You okay?

00:52:27You always do that when you're nervous.

00:52:29I know, it's, um, old habit.

00:52:32Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.

00:52:37Some of us just got a head start.

00:52:38But, um, our press is good press.

00:52:52Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning

00:53:03bitch?

00:53:03He can't do this to me.

00:53:07Sabrina.

00:53:08You don't need him.

00:53:09Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.

00:53:11How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?

00:53:14Move on?

00:53:15Oh, please, honey.

00:53:17He is using her.

00:53:19Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?

00:53:22He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.

00:53:24How could you say that?

00:53:26I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.

00:53:30He's proving that to the whole world.

00:53:32Don't you see it?

00:53:33Sabrina.

00:53:34Look at what you've got.

00:53:36A celebrated career.

00:53:38A mansion in the hills.

00:53:40An adorable kid.

00:53:42Well, when he's not whining.

00:53:43And don't forget about Preston.

00:53:45Your dream man.

00:53:47You have everything.

00:53:49I don't have him.

00:53:51Mom, I'm hungry.

00:53:53Go have the chef make something.

00:53:55No, I hate what she cooks.

00:53:56And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.

00:53:58Why can't you just hire Daniel back?

00:54:00Don't talk about him like that.

00:54:02He's your dad.

00:54:03No, Preston is my real dad now.

00:54:06Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.

00:54:09It was fun telling him what to do.

00:54:11When did he get so cruel?

00:54:13You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.

00:54:17A doormat.

00:54:19Daniel's a doormat.

00:54:20Daniel's a doormat.

00:54:22Enough, you little shit.

00:54:26Enough.

00:54:27Just enough.

00:54:28Sabrina, what's gotten into you?

00:54:30Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.

00:54:34Whoa.

00:54:36What's going on here?

00:54:37This room feels really tense.

00:54:39Mom just yelled at me for no reason.

00:54:41I was just making fun of Daniel.

00:54:42No.

00:54:43I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.

00:54:46And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.

00:54:49It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.

00:54:52Hey, babe, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?

00:55:01Really?

00:55:02Loser?

00:55:02Yeah.

00:55:03You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.

00:55:06And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.

00:55:11That's really, really low.

00:55:17Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.

00:55:23Come on, we're America's power couple.

00:55:25To be a power couple, you both have to have power.

00:55:28Face it, Preston.

00:55:29You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.

00:55:32And you're a fucking thief.

00:55:35Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.

00:55:37You've been stealing from me all year long.

00:55:39I could have you arrested, but I haven't.

00:55:42Because you know what?

00:55:43Honestly, I pity you.

00:55:45It's not like that, okay?

00:55:47Look, I was just merging things like couples do.

00:55:49I want to marry you.

00:55:51We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.

00:55:54What's my birthday?

00:55:55Huh?

00:55:56What kind of flowers do I like?

00:55:58What's my favorite color?

00:55:59My favorite song?

00:56:00Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?

00:56:03Oh, oh, wait.

00:56:04What's my fucking middle name?

00:56:06You don't give a shit about me.

00:56:09You don't love me.

00:56:10You don't even know me.

00:56:12This isn't a relationship.

00:56:14This is a publicity stunt.

00:56:16And you know what?

00:56:17I'm done.

00:56:19Get out.

00:56:20I don't want to ever see you again.

00:56:22We're over.

00:56:23We're over.

00:56:24Hey, babe, come on.

00:56:26Please.

00:56:26Please, I love you.

00:56:27Just think about it.

00:56:29Think of the press.

00:56:30What this will look like.

00:56:31If I have to call my security,

00:56:33all of this will get a lot uglier.

00:56:35Get out.

00:56:36Hey.

00:56:37Now.

00:56:38Give me your hand.

00:56:39Come on.

00:56:39No.

00:56:40I'm so alone, Daniel.

00:56:43Nobody sees the real people.

00:56:45I see you, Sabrina.

00:56:47I see all of you.

00:56:49And you're never going to be alone again.

00:56:51He truly knew me.

00:56:56He loved me.

00:56:58Every flaw.

00:56:59Every fear.

00:57:01Contract or not.

00:57:03He truly loved me.

00:57:05I saved you from social suicide.

00:57:07Saved me?

00:57:08You don't even know how ironic that is.

00:57:12Daniel saved me from the ledge.

00:57:13And he saved me from you.

00:57:17Security.

00:57:19Security.

00:57:20Come on.

00:57:20Just let's talk about this.

00:57:22No.

00:57:23Come on.

00:57:23Celeste.

00:57:24Do something.

00:57:25Sabrina.

00:57:27Come on, Sabrina.

00:57:29Was that really necessary?

00:57:31I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister

00:57:33and people's sexiest man alive.

00:57:35Is that all you care about?

00:57:36The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?

00:57:40God.

00:57:41You're supposed to be my mother first,

00:57:43not some money-grubbing manager.

00:57:45Sabrina, you are being dramatic.

00:57:49Of course I care about you.

00:57:51I love you.

00:57:53Then prove it.

00:57:54If you ever want me in front of a camera again,

00:57:57then you will help me get Daniel back.

00:57:59You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.

00:58:13I'm kind of in shock right now.

00:58:15In film school,

00:58:16we were literally told to watch every single film

00:58:19that you ever produced.

00:58:20I mean, you know this.

00:58:22You're a legend.

00:58:23I appreciate it, Daniel.

00:58:25All right, let me cut to the chase.

00:58:26You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.

00:58:29I appreciate the compliment,

00:58:30but I mean, I'm doing all right.

00:58:31I got projects.

00:58:32Come on.

00:58:33You're built for billion-dollar franchises,

00:58:35Hollywood blockbusters,

00:58:36the one that gets made in L.A., not London.

00:58:38That's where you belong.

00:58:41To be honest, I already did all I.

00:58:43It didn't really end well.

00:58:45Let me guess.

00:58:46My girl?

00:58:47If by a girl,

00:58:48he means Hollywood royalty,

00:58:50Sabrina Donovan.

00:58:51You don't walk away from a gift like yours

00:58:53over some heartbreak.

00:58:55You can become a household name,

00:58:56and I can get you there.

00:58:59You're giving me a lot to think about.

00:59:00Three-picture deal.

00:59:01$200 million budget each,

00:59:03creative control and final cut approval.

00:59:05I don't know what to say.

00:59:06Just say yes.

00:59:07You have my number.

00:59:09Just don't keep me waiting.

00:59:11Just remember, Daniel,

00:59:12you can't run away from the past.

00:59:14You have to face it and tell the fuck off.

00:59:21Hey, it's been a while.

00:59:30Can we talk?

00:59:32Daniel, can you give us a hint

00:59:33about your first movie

00:59:34with Crazy Maple Studio?

00:59:36Of course.

00:59:36It's about a man

00:59:38who gets fucked over

00:59:38by America's sweetheart

00:59:39and comes out on top.

00:59:41Is this a personal story?

00:59:44Will we get a hint

00:59:44at who the mystery woman is?

00:59:46Oh.

00:59:49She knows who she is.

00:59:50Um, I'll leave it at that.

00:59:54Oh!

00:59:55You arrogant little shit!

00:59:58I told you if you ever set foot

01:00:00in this fucking country,

01:00:01I would unleash a world of hell.

01:00:07It's Celeste Donovan.

01:00:09I need a favor.

01:00:10I need you to track down Daniel Johnson

01:00:11and find out where he'll be

01:00:12around eight o'clock tonight.

01:00:16It's time for a little reunion

01:00:17with Hollywood's newest hotshot.

01:00:19Mom, what are you doing?

01:00:25Did you just break my TV?

01:00:27Can you give us a name

01:00:29for your upcoming film?

01:00:31You know I'm not supposed to do that.

01:00:32You've been so kind, though.

01:00:34Um, it's called

01:00:35You Drive Me Crazy.

01:00:36He's back.

01:00:41Why didn't you tell me?

01:00:43Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.

01:00:46I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.

01:00:48I need to get on that movie.

01:00:50Absolutely not.

01:00:52You're not working for your ex-husband.

01:00:54If you don't get me an audition,

01:00:55then I will get a manager who will.

01:00:57Honey, I'm just looking out for you.

01:00:59He still loves me.

01:01:01He has to.

01:01:04I just need to talk to him.

01:01:06Let him go.

01:01:10Mom.

01:01:11Honey, I...

01:01:13You know I just want what's best for you, right?

01:01:17I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.

01:01:19I love you.

01:01:23I love you, too.

01:01:30This is, um...

01:01:31It's another movie deal.

01:01:33I'll tell you about it after.

01:01:34Okay.

01:01:34Did you get his location?

01:01:51The Oaks.

01:01:528 p.m.

01:01:54After I'm done with him,

01:01:56Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.

01:01:59He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.

01:02:04She's not protecting me.

01:02:12She's protecting her business.

01:02:14And I'm just a pawn.

01:02:16But if she wants a scandal,

01:02:18she'll get one.

01:02:20So nice having you back.

01:02:22And I don't just mean from the UK.

01:02:25Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?

01:02:27A couple?

01:02:28Daniel, it was 10 years of you

01:02:30slaving away for those people,

01:02:32if you can even call them that.

01:02:33But you're healthy now.

01:02:35And I'm at the top of my career.

01:02:37I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina,

01:02:40but I really thought I could make it work.

01:02:42The marriage, the kids.

01:02:44I mean, we really tried.

01:02:46I thought I could make it go for it,

01:02:47but, um...

01:02:49It's over.

01:02:51It's over.

01:02:52I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy

01:02:54she thinks Preston DeSwick can offer.

01:02:55Oh, you haven't heard?

01:03:06She dumped him.

01:03:08It was all over People magazine.

01:03:10She ended it when his star faded.

01:03:13Oh my god, what?

01:03:14Daniel!

01:03:20Daniel!

01:03:23Stop!

01:03:31Sabrina, what are you doing here?

01:03:33I'm here to help you.

01:03:35Sabrina?

01:03:36You're making a scene.

01:03:38Let's go home.

01:03:39Sabrina?

01:03:39How could you?

01:03:40What?

01:03:40I just came to ask Daniel

01:03:42if he'd let you audition,

01:03:44but he said no.

01:03:44I begged and pleaded.

01:03:46Stop lying.

01:03:48I saw you bribe the waiter

01:03:50to drug Daniel's drink.

01:03:52And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too,

01:03:54to catch him drugged out of his mind

01:03:56and ruin him.

01:03:57My god.

01:03:58You're disgusting.

01:04:00I'm a manager, Daniel.

01:04:01Not anymore.

01:04:03Why did you become such a conniving,

01:04:06scheming snake?

01:04:07I don't even know who you are anymore.

01:04:11I'm your mother.

01:04:12I only want what's best for you.

01:04:15What's best for me?

01:04:19You've been controlling my life

01:04:20ever since you knew you could profit from it.

01:04:23That all ends today.

01:04:28You're fired.

01:04:30Fired.

01:04:32No.

01:04:35No.

01:04:39No.

01:04:41You can't do this to me.

01:04:42Please.

01:04:43Please, sweetie.

01:04:44I have dedicated my life to you.

01:04:45You dedicated your life to money

01:04:47and to fame.

01:04:50I was just who you used to get to it.

01:04:53You think you can survive on sheer talent?

01:04:56There's a thousand girls more talented

01:04:57than you waiting for their shot.

01:04:59I made you.

01:05:00You'd be nothing without me.

01:05:05I think she'll do just fine.

01:05:13We're done here, Mom.

01:05:14If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life

01:05:18or in mine,

01:05:20you'll leave now.

01:05:22Without another word.

01:05:24I have something to say.

01:05:35I'm sorry, Daniel.

01:05:40I'm sorry I took you for granted

01:05:42all of those years.

01:05:43I'm sorry I let my mom

01:05:45manipulate and use you.

01:05:48I'm sorry I brought

01:05:49Preston into our home

01:05:51and poisoned our son

01:05:53towards you.

01:05:57Apologize to your father.

01:05:59Do I have to?

01:06:00Who raised you?

01:06:03Cared for you?

01:06:06Packed your lunches

01:06:07when I was on set?

01:06:09Laid with you

01:06:10when you had nightmares

01:06:11and coddled you

01:06:12when you were sick?

01:06:13He did.

01:06:15He loved you.

01:06:16But you treated him

01:06:17like he was nothing.

01:06:18I was wrong.

01:06:20Jackson,

01:06:21he gave us ten years

01:06:22of his life

01:06:23and we abused it.

01:06:24And now there is

01:06:26nothing we can do

01:06:27to take that back.

01:06:29I'm sorry, Dad.

01:06:33It's going to be okay, son.

01:06:35I just want to love you.

01:06:37Okay.

01:06:38Come on, Jackson.

01:06:39Let's go.

01:06:45I'm sorry, Daniel.

01:06:48For everything.

01:06:54I know that look, Daniel.

01:07:01You're thinking

01:07:01of going back to them.

01:07:03No.

01:07:05I just didn't know

01:07:06it would be this hard.

01:07:07They hurt you, Daniel.

01:07:10They tore you to pieces

01:07:12and then just expected

01:07:13you to come running back.

01:07:17People can change.

01:07:19But that doesn't

01:07:21change the past.

01:07:24And the Oscar goes to

01:07:27Daniel Johnson

01:07:28for his original screenplay,

01:07:30Loving Her.

01:07:33Daniel!

01:07:34Daniel!

01:07:35Daniel!

01:07:35Daniel, is it true

01:07:37that the script

01:07:38that won you Oscars

01:07:38for both writing

01:07:39and directing

01:07:40sat on the shelf

01:07:40for ten years?

01:07:42Yes.

01:07:43I'll admit I got

01:07:43a little sidelined,

01:07:44but I think

01:07:46I found my way back.

01:07:48But, okay,

01:07:49I'll tell you this.

01:07:51I don't think

01:07:52you can truly love

01:07:53someone else

01:07:54until

01:07:55you love yourself.

01:08:01Way to go, Jan!

01:09:44I do miss you, though.

01:09:48Playing the part.

01:09:50British starlet.

01:09:51American director.

01:09:53I kept waiting for us

01:09:55to become something real.

01:09:57Waiting for us

01:09:58to become something real.

01:10:00I'm sorry, Halloween.

01:10:02It just cost me

01:10:04and we'll call it even.

01:10:05You were amazing,

01:10:07as always.

01:10:09It's just...
