America's Favorite Ex-Husband
Transcript
00:00:00She has to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:00:02Sabrina was a rising star, and 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? You 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?
00:00:21Come back. Get out of Hollywood. In fact, get out of the country.
00:00:25I gave it everything I had. Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:00:31No! What have I done? He can't be gone! He 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. You have everything.
00:00:43I don't have him.
00:00:46He still loves me. He has to. And we need to find him at all costs.
00:00:51Daniel!
00:00:55And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:01:04Daniel!
00:01:06That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:01:09Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:01:13Daniel!
00:01:14Daniel, 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. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:01:26I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:01:33Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:01:38You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:01:44Our contract expired.
00:01:46I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:01:48If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:57I'll always love my son.
00:01:59But he's a bully, and he learned her from the best in the business. His grandmother.
00:02:03You used to worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:02:06That was a long time ago.
00:02:07America'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. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:02:19You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:02:24She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So 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. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:02:40If 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.
00:02:50Mom, Daniel. What'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.
00:03:07But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:03:11Think about it, Daniel.
00:03:16Once 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? I'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. I 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. When are we eating?
00:03:47Lunch is on the stove.
00:03:49But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:52No! I 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 that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:04:15I got something I need to tell you.
00:04:18I'll make it quick.
00:04:19This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:04:21Ew, what is this?
00:04:22It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:04:25I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:04:29You can't have that every day. It'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. I want chicken nuggets. Give me chicken nuggets.
00:04:42I wait.
00:04:48I waited.
00:04:50I gave it everything I had.
00:04:53But 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.
00:05:01Enough. Just... enough.
00:05:04I want a divorce.
00:05:11I want a divorce.
00:05:16Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:05:20Huh?
00:05:21I want a...
00:05:25I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:05:28Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:05:32Now go upstairs, get cleaned up, we'll get you some real food.
00:05:40Seriously, 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...
00:05:55Whatever, 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.
00:06:13Love 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?
00:06:55Oh, good, dear.
00:06:57I 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, everything's going to change.
00:07:28That's wonderful, dear.
00:07:29You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:07:32Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:07:33I gotta go.
00:07:34Love you.
00:07:37What is it, Mom?
00:07:39Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:07:42Our favorite leading man.
00:07:44Come on.
00:07:51Preston 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.
00:08:07All right, cut.
00:08:09That's a wrap, everyone.
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.
00:08:25If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:28Never asked for Hollywood's...
00:08:33...
00:08:40...
00:08:45...
00:08:47You destroyed me, Preston.
00:09:03You spent some work.
00:09:04Sabrina, don't!
00:09:19Stay back.
00:09:20I mean it.
00:09:22Sabrina, don't do this.
00:09:25Just...
00:09:27Just give me your hand.
00:09:34No!
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.
00:09:56I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:59Nobody sees the real people.
00:10:01I see you, Sabrina.
00:10:02I see all of you.
00:10:05And you're never going to be alone again.
00:10:15Good to see ya!
00:10:16Oh 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.
00:10:23Oh my god, of course, babe.
00:10:25Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:10:26Are you kidding?
00:10:27Oh, Daniel, Preston'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.
00:10:38God, how 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 will be able to bend some of dad's rules, what are you saying, huh?
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:14Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:11:18It's fine.
00:11:19It's fine.
00:11:20It's fine.
00:11:21Just relax, okay?
00:11:23Be nice.
00:11:24Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:11:38when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:40Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:11:52Oh, careful.
00:11:53You 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!
00:12:10Daniel, 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.
00:12:17Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:12:19Oh, babe.
00:12:21For real?
00:12:22Yeah.
00:12:23My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:12:26Donovan Cosmetics.
00:12:28Rich.
00:12:29Which 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.
00:12:58What?
00:12:59Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:13:01I don't mind.
00:13:01All of you insist.
00:13:03I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:13:04So.
00:13:05Mm-hmm.
00:13:06Okay.
00:13:07Oh, 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.
00:13:16Let's go.
00:13:16Gotcha.
00:13:17There we go.
00:13:19Oh.
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.
00:13:34Hi.
00:13:36Jackson.
00:13:36Well, 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.
00:13:58Is there 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:59I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:14:06Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:14:21She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:14:23Sabrina Donovan?
00:14:27I could scream.
00:14:28I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:14:30Preston Eastwood.
00:14:31I 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 kissed 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?
00:15:13So, you two are a thing?
00:15:14Well, 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.
00:15:32Is 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 a 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.
00:15:53My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:56But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:16:02It's okay, buddy.
00:16:03Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:16:05If you want me around, I'm in.
00:16:07That is, if mom's school with it.
00:16:10Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:16:12Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:16:14Preston, what are you doing?
00:16:18Come on.
00:16:19Let's give him a show.
00:16:20Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:42Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:46Daniel!
00:16:51You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:53From the sound of it, your 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, Sabrina 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, with the tabloids.
00:17:26I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:29You're really good at that.
00:17:31Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:34A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:40I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:46I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:48Daniel loves me.
00:17:49He has to understand.
00:17:51This is Hollywood.
00:17:52It's just part of the job.
00:17:53Daniel, I can explain.
00:18:02Daniel, 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 cancelled.
00:18:10Are you going somewhere?
00:18:11Honey, 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.
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:25I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:18:26Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:28What 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.
00:19:04Willing 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.
00:19:21Daniel!
00:19:23Oh, please.
00:19:26The bed's in here.
00:19:27This is...
00:19:27Yeah.
00:19:29Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:19:30Oh!
00:19:31Oh, good.
00:19:34You're up.
00:19:35Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:19:40It's fun.
00:19:41What?
00:19:42Don'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.
00:19:58Listen, man, I...
00:20:00I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:20:05You can trust me.
00:20:07Preston, I think you're...
00:20:09You need to lay down.
00:20:11All right.
00:20:13Oh, hey.
00:20:14Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:20:16I...
00:20:17I...
00:20:17When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:20:22I'm gonna 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 husband.
00:20:57Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:21:02My God.
00:21:04God, you're unbelievable.
00:21:08Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:21:11No, 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...
00:21:27And 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.
00:22:09I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:21If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:24I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:26Look at her now.
00:22:40Playing house for another man.
00:22:42If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:46I don't know.
00:22:56There he is.
00:23:04God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:23:07Man.
00:23:08No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:23:11Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:23:14I've got some.
00:23:16Yeah.
00:23:17What do you need?
00:23:18Oh, oh.
00:23:19Yeah, there you go.
00:23:20I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:23:23Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:25Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:30Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:36No.
00:23:37A 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.
00:23:50What's wrong, Jackson?
00:24:00Mr. Eastwood!
00:24:01I 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?
00:24:07You know what?
00:24:08Let 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!
00:24:18Come on.
00:24:20It's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:22You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:24It's not about the money.
00:24:25It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:28Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:32Yeah?
00:24:33What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:35You're so annoying!
00:24:38Don't push.
00:24:39I said don't push.
00:24:45Go 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 is he just shopping?
00:24:56Call it a lesson.
00:24:57I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:58He's not your kid.
00:25:00I wish I would.
00:25:02I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:25:05I 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 yours permanent?
00:25:13Maybe it will be.
00:25:14But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:17Ooh, you?
00:25:19Man of the house?
00:25:20Please.
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.
00:25:26And 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 agent's begging for scraps.
00:25:34I'm a fucking star.
00:25:35A star?
00:25:36A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:40Jackson, 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.
00:25:55You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:15What was that?
00:26:19God.
00:26:22Daniel!
00:26:23What is happening?
00:26:25It was Dad, Mom.
00:26:26Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:29What?
00:26:29I'm so scared.
00:26:30That'd be pretty good, babe.
00:26:31What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:33I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:34He came in looking for a fight.
00:26:36What?
00:26:36I didn't?
00:26:37Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:39You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:41I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:43He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:45It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:46Grow up.
00:26:47Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:50What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:52What?
00:26:52Everyone knows you precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:54Maybe I should go.
00:26:57I'm sorry.
00:26:58No.
00:26:59Oh my God.
00:27:01He's lying.
00:27:03You're a monster.
00:27:05And in front of your son?
00:27:06You have to be kidding.
00:27:08We have to get you to the hospital.
00:27:09Yeah.
00:27:11Close it.
00:27:11We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:13Come on.
00:27:14Clean this up.
00:27:15Come on.
00:27:15Come on.
00:27:17Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:20She's mine now, loser.
00:27:32Hello, 9-1-1.
00:27:33What's your emergency?
00:27:35I'm bleeding out.
00:27:36I think I hit a murder.
00:27:38I need an ambulance now.
00:27:39Now.
00:27:49You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:51So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.
00:27:55To be honest, I could use a break from home.
00:27:57Trouble with the missus?
00:28:01Uh, yeah.
00:28:04Pretty 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 with Preston Eastwood.
00:28:15True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:19I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:28:22You said, um, couple?
00:28:24I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:28:29She 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, 10 years ago.
00:28:50Daniel!
00:28:52Sweet 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!
00:29:09I'm going to 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.
00:29:17I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:24It needs the right producer.
00:29:28I 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.
00:29:38Huh?
00:29:43What?
00:29:43I've been busy.
00:29:44Anyways, 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.
00:29:54Yeah.
00:29:55That's what you want to call it?
00:29:57I...
00:29:58I just...
00:29:59I'm sorry.
00:30:01I...
00:30:02Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:09It is what it is.
00:30:11But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:15You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:19Then I think you should go for it.
00:30:21I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:24But...
00:30:24I just...
00:30:26I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:31Seriously.
00:30:32I...
00:30:32I care about you.
00:30:38I'm no 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?
00:30:48Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:51She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:53That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:56A headline.
00:30:57A performance.
00:31:00Sabrina.
00:31:03Sabrina, I'm good.
00:31:04You know what?
00:31:06I hate fighting.
00:31:07So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:10I was thinking.
00:31:12We could revisit your script.
00:31:17I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:19You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:21Well, yeah.
00:31:22The first ten pages.
00:31:24But they're good.
00:31:26The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:29I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:30Me and you.
00:31:31The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:35I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:39A long time ago.
00:31:40Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves
00:31:46into the script, just like we used to in film school.
00:31:51There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:54I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:57Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:59What?
00:31:59What?
00:32:02What?
00:32:10I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:32:19and it was awful.
00:32:22Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how
00:32:25you like it.
00:32:25That's not what I meant.
00:32:28I like it when you make it.
00:32:29I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:36I knew it.
00:32:37You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:40I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:44God, it'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.
00:32:59Look what you made me do.
00:33:04Just leave it.
00:33:08I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:11And what?
00:33:12It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:14I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:17And look what I get for it.
00:33:19You know what?
00:33:20Forget it.
00:33:20I have a premiere.
00:33:22Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:29What?
00:33:39Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:41Yeah.
00:33:42Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:42Not quite.
00:33:43That was the divorce contract.
00:33:45But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:50This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:51Remember that.
00:33:52I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:59I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:10She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Oh, well.
00:34:25If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:27Come here.
00:34:28Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is?
00:34:36Or who she's with?
00:34:38She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:40He's been staying with us.
00:34:41Oh, really?
00:34:44Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:47Oh, I hope so.
00:34:48I really hope so.
00:34:49He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:53Speaking 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?
00:35:06You never come to these things.
00:35:09Oh, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:12Get lost.
00:35:13You embarrass us.
00:35:14Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:16I'm your father.
00:35:17I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:22Is there a problem?
00:35:27Oh, my God.
00:35:29That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:30How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:34If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:36I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:38You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:39Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:41You should probably listen to your kid and head out because you'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.
00:36:01It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:03And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:08This was all a stunt, wasn't it?
00:36:11You were revolting.
00:36:13No 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.
00:36:23Maybe 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.
00:36:33Oh, my God.
00:36:35Oh!
00:36:52The hell?
00:36:54What happened?
00:36:56Oh, my God.
00:36:57Daniel!
00:36:59What the hell happened?
00:37:01Daniel, 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.
00:37:19No, 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?
00:37:32No.
00:37:33Sabrina.
00:37:35Sabrina.
00:37:37Oh!
00:37:38Yeah, I think he got me in the ribs.
00:37:41I think one of them's broken.
00:37:43Sabrina?
00:37:44Honey?
00:37:45We need to help Preston.
00:37:48But...
00:37:49But Daniel!
00:37:52Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:55Oh, my God.
00:37:56Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:09I...
00:38:09I have...
00:38:11I have to help Preston.
00:38:12God.
00:38:13I got you.
00:38:25Come on, Jackson.
00:38:28I'm...
00:38:28Daniel!
00:38:35I got you.
00:38:35Don't let me go!
00:38:37She's made her choice.
00:38:39There's no going back.
00:38:41We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to
00:38:43after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:53Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:57Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:59I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:01There's an Uber waiting for you outside
00:39:04to take you to the airport.
00:39:06Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:08In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:11If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:15I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:31Don't worry about it. Just drive.
00:39:34I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:48Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:51Seriously?
00:39:52Stay down.
00:39:53I'm going to go call the doctor.
00:39:54Okay?
00:39:55What are you doing?
00:39:56I thought you were hurt.
00:39:57I think I'll pull through him.
00:39:58I don't know.
00:39:59I don't know.
00:40:00I don't know.
00:40:01I don't know.
00:40:02What are you doing?
00:40:03I thought you were hurt.
00:40:04I think I'll pull through him.
00:40:06I don't know.
00:40:07I don't know.
00:40:08I don't know.
00:40:09I don't know.
00:40:10What are you doing?
00:40:11I don't know.
00:40:12I've always wanted to.
00:40:13Come on.
00:40:14I know you want this.
00:40:15I see the way you look at me.
00:40:16Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:40:19We can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:35What am I doing?
00:40:38Daniel is still injured.
00:40:40He should be home.
00:40:42Sabrina?
00:40:55Preston, get off.
00:40:57What?
00:40:58Babe, we can finally.
00:41:00I said get off.
00:41:01What?
00:41:02I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:04No, forget about him.
00:41:06Look, I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:11I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:14I mean, come on.
00:41:15Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:18Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:20What?
00:41:21Look, he's already moved on.
00:41:25No.
00:41:26No.
00:41:27What have I done?
00:41:29Where is he?
00:41:31What about me?
00:41:32You had a chance ten years ago.
00:41:35I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:41Hello?
00:41:42Excuse me.
00:41:43Excuse me.
00:41:44Excuse me.
00:41:45Hi.
00:41:46Have you seen my husband?
00:41:49Please.
00:41:50He was someone bleeding out.
00:41:52I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:56He didn't come back in though.
00:41:58Oh, no.
00:42:01Daniel, where are you?
00:42:03I'm sorry.
00:42:04I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:08Please try again later.
00:42:09What have I done?
00:42:10Oh, come on, Daniel.
00:42:23Answer me.
00:42:30He's not gone.
00:42:31I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:40He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:42:46No.
00:42:49It's not possible.
00:42:51He will be back.
00:42:54No.
00:42:55No.
00:43:06Boy, it's all assets.
00:43:07Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:43:10The waves all spousal support.
00:43:12No.
00:43:13No.
00:43:14He can't leave me.
00:43:15He can't do this to me.
00:43:17I won't sign off on it.
00:43:25No.
00:43:26All this time?
00:43:27Who's going to leave me?
00:43:28No.
00:43:29All this time?
00:43:30Who's going to leave me?
00:43:47It can't be.
00:43:48It's not a...
00:43:50Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:43:52My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:54He loves me.
00:43:57He loves Jackson.
00:43:59He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:01We're his family.
00:44:03After all these years, everything we've been through.
00:44:24I got you.
00:44:25Don't let me go!
00:44:26Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:27Daniel!
00:44:28No, it's Mom.
00:44:29Is everything okay?
00:44:30You sound panicked.
00:44:31Mom!
00:44:32Mom!
00:44:33Daniel!
00:44:34He just left us.
00:44:35Do you know where he is?
00:44:37We have to find him.
00:44:38We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:39Oh, honey.
00:44:40It's over.
00:44:41Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:42You knew?
00:44:43I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:47Ok.
00:44:48What?
00:44:49I'll do.
00:44:50I'll do.
00:44:51I'll do.
00:44:52I'll do.
00:44:53I'll do.
00:44:54I'll do.
00:44:55The hospital or the...
00:44:57Oh, honey.
00:44:59It's over.
00:45:00Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:03You knew?
00:45:04I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:14I'm hungry!
00:45:16Dad!
00:45:17Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:20Taxid?
00:45:23I have something to tell you.
00:45:26Your dad.
00:45:29Your dad.
00:45:32He's left us.
00:45:34I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:36Yay, he's gone! He's gone!
00:45:39Why would you say that?
00:45:41He was so embarrassing!
00:45:43Even 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.
00:45:53He 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.
00:46:24Large 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?
00:46:42He'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?
00:46:53Huh?
00:46:54It's despicable.
00:46:55I can't do this anymore.
00:46:57I'll cancel everything.
00:47:00The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:02I don't want to be seen.
00:47:04I can't pretend.
00:47:07I just want him back.
00:47:09Oh, honey.
00:47:11It's time to let him go.
00:47:13You don't love him anyway.
00:47:15And think about what Preston would do
00:47:17for your career.
00:47:21What?
00:47:22How could you say something like that?
00:47:25Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:26He cares for me.
00:47:28He sees me.
00:47:29He was there for me
00:47:31when 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.
00:47:41Yeah, some husband.
00:47:42Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:47:44Wanting nothing to do with this child
00:47:45just because the contract ended.
00:47:47Contract?
00:47:49What contract?
00:47:50What 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.
00:48:14I will tell you the truth.
00:48:16But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:20I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:24But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:30When Preston left you,
00:48:31you were distraught.
00:48:33I 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.
00:48:46Stay.
00:48:47Marry her.
00:48:47Love her.
00:48:49So 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,
00:49:09my money.
00:49:10Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:15You 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,
00:49:33Hollywood starlet.
00:49:35Believe me,
00:49:36it's for the best.
00:49:37No!
00:49:38He can't be gone!
00:49:39He can't!
00:49:40Yes!
00:49:41He is gone,
00:49:42and he is gone forever!
00:49:44He can't be!
00:49:45He can't be gone!
00:49:46He can't!
00:49:47He can't!
00:50:03I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox,
00:50:10that's already generated a 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?
00:50:29Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own sheet.
00:50:32Nobody told me how.
00:50:34Oh, man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:50:37I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:50:39Yeah.
00:50:41God, my career has been a long time in the making,
00:50:44and I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:50:46I almost gave up the dream.
00:50:48But London?
00:50:50London lit the fire under me,
00:50:51and I feel like I've found my voice,
00:50:53and it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:56Speaking of London,
00:50:57since you're an American writer-director,
00:50:59will you be making your way back 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,
00:51:11I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:16Daniel?
00:51:21He's no good at bragging about himself,
00:51:32so I'll do it for him.
00:51:34Daniel is a true auteur and a pretty genius,
00:51:39and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:51:41That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:51:44a two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress
00:51:46and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:51:50Well, I've heard that 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.
00:52:04This 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,
00:52:10I knew you were special.
00:52:13Daniel,
00:52:14enjoy this.
00:52:16And get used to compliments.
00:52:18There's already Ask of Us.
00:52:20Fuck you.
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,
00:52:31old habit.
00:52:33Well,
00:52:34the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:52:37Some of us just got a head start.
00:52:38I know, it's a good person.
00:52:40I know, it's a good person.
00:52:42I know, it's a good person.
00:52:44I know, it's a good person.
00:52:44I know, it's a good person.
00:52:46I know, it's a good person.
00:52:46No, no, no, no.
00:52:48No.
00:52:50But,
00:52:50all press is good press.
00:52:57Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:53:00and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
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?
00:53:15Please, 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.
00:53:25How could you say that?
00:53:26I mean, if anything,
00:53:28being 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.
00:53:35Look 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, then he's not whining.
00:53:44And don't forget about Preston.
00:53:45Your dream man.
00:53:47You have everything.
00:53:49I don't have him.
00:53:52Mom, 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
00:54:07and 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
00:54:15Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:17A doormat.
00:54:17Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:20Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:22Enough!
00:54:22You little shit!
00:54:26Enough!
00:54:27Just enough!
00:54:28Sabrina?
00:54:29What's gotten into you?
00:54:31Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:54:35Whoa.
00:54:35What's going on in 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.
00:54:43No!
00:54:43I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:54:46And if you keep talking like that,
00:54:48I'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.
00:54:57Are you really going to get mad at Jackson
00:54:59for what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:01Really?
00:55:02Loser?
00:55:03Yeah.
00:55:03You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:07And you've been mooching off of me
00:55:08and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:15That's really, really low.
00:55:17Especially after everything I've done
00:55:19to help you with your brand
00:55:20and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:55:22Come 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.
00:55:50I want to marry you.
00:55:51We're a legacy.
00:55:52Hollywood 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.
00:56:13This 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.
00:56:24What?
00:56:25No, babe, babe, come on.
00:56:26Please.
00:56:26Please, I love you.
00:56:27Just think about it.
00:56:29Look at the press.
00:56:30What this will look like.
00:56:31If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:56:35Get out.
00:56:36Babe.
00:56:37Now.
00:56:38Just give me your hand.
00:56:39Come on.
00:56:39No.
00:56:40I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:56:44Nobody sees the real me.
00:56:45I see you, Sabrina.
00:56:46I see all of you, and you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:52He truly knew me.
00:56:56He loved me.
00:56:57Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:57:05I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:07Saved me?
00:57:09You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:12Daniel saved me from the ledge, and he saved me from you.
00:57:17Security!
00:57:19Security!
00:57:20Just let's talk about this.
00:57:22No.
00:57:23God.
00:57:23Celeste, do something.
00:57:25God.
00:57:26Sabrina.
00:57:27Come on, Sabrina.
00:57:29Was that really necessary?
00:57:31I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:57:35Is that all you care about?
00:57:37The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:57:40God.
00:57:41You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:57:46Sabrina, 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, then 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, we were literally told to watch every single film that 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, but 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, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made
00:58:37in L.A., not London.
00:58:39That's where you belong.
00:58:41To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:58:43It didn't really end well.
00:58:45Let me guess.
00:58:46My girl?
00:58:47If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:52You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:55You can become a household name, and 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, you can't run away from the past.
00:59:14You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:59:27Hey, it's been a while.
00:59:30Can we talk?
00:59:32Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:59:36Of course.
00:59:37It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:59:41Is this a personal story?
00:59:43Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:59:47Oh.
00:59:49She knows who she is.
00:59:51Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:54Oh, you arrogant little shit.
00:59:58I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:02It's Celeste Donovan.
01:00:09I need a favor.
01:00:10I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:16It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:20Mom?
01:00:21What are you doing?
01:00:22Did you just break my TV?
01:00:27Can you give us a name for 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 You 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, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:57Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:59He still loves me.
01:01:02He 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.
01:01:21I love you.
01:01:23I love you too.
01:01:25This is, um...
01:01:31It's another movie deal.
01:01:33I'll tell you about it after.
01:01:49Did you get his location?
01:01:51The Oaks.
01:01:538 p.m.
01:01:53After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:59He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:10She'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, she'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 of years, hasn't it?
01:02:27Couple.
01:02:28Daniel, it was ten years of you slaving away for those people.
01:02:32If you can even call them that.
01:02:34But 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...
01:02:39I love Sabrina, but...
01:02:40I 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, but, um...
01:02:49It's over.
01:02:51It's over.
01:02:52I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston DeSwood can offer.
01:03:03Oh.
01:03:04You 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.
01:03:11Oh, my God, it was.
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 if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:03:45I begged and pleaded.
01:03:46Stop lying.
01:03:48I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:52And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and 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, scheming snake?
01:04:07I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:04:10I'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 ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:04:24That all ends today.
01:04:28You're fired.
01:04:30Fired.
01:04:31Fired.
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.
01:04:46You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:50I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:53You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:55There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:59I made you.
01:05:01You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:05I think she'll do just fine.
01:05:13We're done here, Mom.
01:05:15If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:05:22Without another word.
01:05:24I have something to say.
01:05:38I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:40I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:05:44I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:48I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:57Apologize to your father.
01:05:59Do I have to?
01:06:01Who raised you?
01:06:03Cared for you?
01:06:06Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:06:09Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:06:13He did.
01:06:15He loved you.
01:06:16But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:06:18I was wrong.
01:06:20Jackson.
01:06:21He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:06:25And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:06:29I'm sorry, Dad.
01:06:33It's going to be okay, son.
01:06:35I still love you.
01:06:36Come on, Jackson.
01:06:39Let's go.
01:06:46I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:48For everything.
01:06:49I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:01You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:03No.
01:07:05I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:07:07They hurt you, Daniel.
01:07:10They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:07:17People can change.
01:07:19But that doesn't change the past.
01:07:25And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:07:33Daniel!
01:07:34Daniel!
01:07:35Daniel!
01:07:35Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on the shelf for ten years?
01:07:42Yes.
01:07:43I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:47But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:52I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:01Way to go, John!
01:08:02Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:08:23We'll keep in touch.
01:08:31How many more do we have today?
01:08:32Forty.
01:08:33Sir.
01:08:33Jeez.
01:08:34Yay, boy!
01:08:35How are we looking?
01:08:36We're still digging.
01:08:37Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:08:41I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:08:45All right, here's the deal.
01:08:46The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:50Today?
01:08:51Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:52That's why I love you, man.
01:08:53Cool under pressure.
01:08:55This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:08:57Oh, my God.
01:09:01All right, just bring in the next one.
01:09:03That would be Emily Blake.
01:09:09Emily.
01:09:14Emily.
01:09:15Amazing, as always.
01:09:17You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:09:20Please.
01:09:21I wasn't going to miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:09:24So, how's L.A. treating you?
01:09:28Oh, my God.
01:09:29Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:09:31But I am...
01:09:33I'm glad to be back.
01:09:35Well, it's no English countryside.
01:09:37Yeah.
01:09:37But it suits you.
01:09:40You definitely belong here.
01:09:44I do miss you, though.
01:09:47It was fun.
01:09:48Playing the part.
01:09:50British starlet.
01:09:51American director.
01:09:52I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:58Waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:00I'm sorry, Emily.
01:10:03It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:10:06You were amazing, as always.
01:10:09It's just...
01:10:10It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:10:14I never was, was I?
01:10:16Anyways, got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:10:22Maybe I'll see you around.
01:10:24Yeah.
01:10:24Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:10:37Go get one for yourself, too.
01:10:40And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:42Oh, my God.
01:10:49What am I going to do?
01:10:56That was quick.
01:10:57What are you doing here?
01:11:10I came to audition.
01:11:14Did you bring any representation?
01:11:16No.
01:11:17I fired my manager, remember?
01:11:20I'm starting fresh.
01:11:22Right, um...
01:11:23Don't let me go!
01:11:25I got you.
01:11:29I'll never let you go.
01:11:31Are you okay?
01:11:31Yeah.
01:11:33It's an old wound that, um...
01:11:35never really healed.
01:11:37I understand.
01:11:46Daniel Johnson.
01:11:53Nice to meet you.
01:11:55Please.
01:11:57Whatever you're writing.
01:12:27Whatever you're writing.
01:12:57Whatever you're writing.
