00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:07That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:33Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:44Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son.
00:01:00But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:22You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:25She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:37And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:58What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh!
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:18Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:25Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait?
00:02:28I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:41I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:49Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:51But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:02:55You always know the spot.
00:03:08He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please.
00:03:11I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:16I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food! I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets!
00:03:30You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them!
00:03:36Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:40You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:44I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:58And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough. Just enough.
00:04:05I want a divorce.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:22Huh?
00:04:23I want a...
00:04:27I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously?
00:04:43Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:46I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:49What is this?
00:04:51Another contract?
00:04:52How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:56It's not a...
00:04:57Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:58It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:02Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:05I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:10Pull my weight?
00:05:11Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Mwah! Love you.
00:05:16I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:20If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:23Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:28The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:36We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:38I can't.
00:05:39My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:41After all I've sacrificed,
00:05:43my scripts,
00:05:44my career,
00:05:45my future,
00:05:46we're all pushed aside.
00:05:49At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:52I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:56Hey, Mom.
00:05:56How you doing?
00:05:57Oh, good, dear.
00:05:58I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:03Do you need more?
00:06:04No, no, no, no.
00:06:04You've already done so much.
00:06:07I'm just trying to help.
00:06:08I know,
00:06:09but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:13I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done,
00:06:17but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:20I am, Mom.
00:06:22And I promise,
00:06:25very soon,
00:06:26everything's going to change.
00:06:30That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:34Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:36I gotta go.
00:06:37Love you.
00:06:40What is it, Mom?
00:06:42Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:50Preston Eastwood,
00:06:54the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:56and is stealing it back again.
00:07:01Preston Eastwood,
00:07:02the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:10All right, cut.
00:07:11That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:14We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:17Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:20I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:24Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:27If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:31What?
00:07:38How are you?
00:07:41What?
00:07:42You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:12Sabrina!
00:08:19Don't!
00:08:21Stay back.
00:08:23I mean it.
00:08:25Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:28Just...
00:08:31Just give me your hand.
00:08:42No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:48I got you.
00:08:49No!
00:08:50Don't let me go!
00:08:52I won't ever let you go.
00:08:59I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:02Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:04I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:06I see all of you.
00:09:08And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:12Good to see ya!
00:09:19Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:20Oh, too long.
00:09:21Look at you!
00:09:22Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:26Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:27Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:29Are you kidding?
00:09:30Oh, Daniel, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:34Oh, there he is!
00:09:36The assistant!
00:09:37I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:40How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:45Stop!
00:09:47I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:52Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:56Daniel!
00:09:57Don't embarrass me.
00:09:58No, it's fine.
00:09:59I'm sorry.
00:10:00Whoa!
00:10:01You played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:04He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough!
00:10:07You think, you know?
00:10:08My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:10He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:12Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:15What are you saying?
00:10:16Huh?
00:10:17Yeah!
00:10:18Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:21That's fine.
00:10:23That's fine.
00:10:24Just relax, okay?
00:10:26Be nice.
00:10:27Some people never change.
00:10:37But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:10:42again.
00:10:43Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:45But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the sale.
00:10:48Oh, careful.
00:10:57You alright?
00:11:00I'm still starving.
00:11:02Make me some food.
00:11:03Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:06Stew?
00:11:08What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:10I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:13If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:16I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:22What?
00:11:24For real?
00:11:25Yeah!
00:11:26My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:29Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:31I'm rich.
00:11:33Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:36I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:40See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:42You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:44You realize that's why no one bought your scripts, they were so dull.
00:11:47Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:50Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:54So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:58My treat.
00:12:00Here we go.
00:12:01What?
00:12:02Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:03I don't mind.
00:12:04All of you insist.
00:12:05I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06So...
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:15So...
00:12:16Anyways!
00:12:17Come on, Ben.
00:12:18Let's go!
00:12:19Looks great.
00:12:20Gotcha.
00:12:21There we go.
00:12:22There's Paps.
00:12:23You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:25Last time.
00:12:26I promise.
00:12:27You're right.
00:12:28It is the last time.
00:12:29Hey, guys.
00:12:30Bye.
00:12:31Jackson.
00:12:32Jackson.
00:12:33Jackson.
00:12:34Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:49Contract's fine.
00:12:51It's over.
00:12:53Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:57I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:00After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:22Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:24She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:29Sabrina Donovan.
00:13:30I could scream.
00:13:31I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:33Preston Eastwood.
00:13:34I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:37OMG.
00:13:38I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:40A scene that I wrote.
00:13:42Uncredited, of course.
00:13:43Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:45Wait.
00:13:46Are you two dating?
00:13:47Oh, well, actually...
00:13:48This is totally a date.
00:13:50All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:54Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:01You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:03Your brand?
00:14:04It's just...
00:14:05It's not a good look for me.
00:14:07You get it.
00:14:08Right?
00:14:09So, you two are a thing?
00:14:18Well, I...
00:14:19It's okay, babe.
00:14:20We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:22This is so going viral.
00:14:32I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:34It looks like more than dating.
00:14:36Are...
00:14:37Is this your son?
00:14:38I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:40Don't be silly.
00:14:41You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:44That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:46He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:49But Preston is awesome.
00:14:52He's an action spy.
00:14:54I wish he was my dad.
00:14:56My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:59But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party with a call girl.
00:15:05It's okay, buddy.
00:15:06Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:08If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:11That is if mom's school with him.
00:15:13Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:15Daniel, he...
00:15:16You know, he's...
00:15:17Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:18Come on.
00:15:19Let's get Michelle.
00:15:20Come on.
00:15:21Let's get Michelle.
00:15:22Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:25I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:30Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:38Daniel!
00:15:39Daniel!
00:15:40Daniel!
00:15:41You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:43And the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:45Daniel, he's here?
00:15:46He...
00:15:47Did he see us?
00:15:48Is he looking over here?
00:15:49Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:15:50I was just doing that for publicity.
00:15:51I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:15:52Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:15:53Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:15:56Who cares about him, mommy?
00:15:57Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:15:58Jackson, enough.
00:15:59What do I do?
00:16:00Well, that's it, then.
00:16:01Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:02I need to leverage her relationship with Preston.
00:16:04With the team.
00:16:05I don't even want to be around you.
00:16:06Daniel, he's here.
00:16:07Did he see us?
00:16:08Is he looking over here?
00:16:09Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:10I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:11I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:12Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:13Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:15Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:16Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:18Jackson, enough.
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:22Well, that's it, then.
00:16:24Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:26I need to leverage her relationship with Preston.
00:16:28With the tabloids.
00:16:29I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:32You're really good at that.
00:16:34Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:38A one-way ticket.
00:16:40So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:44I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:49I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:52Daniel loves me.
00:16:53He has to understand.
00:16:54This is Hollywood.
00:16:55It's just part of the job.
00:16:57Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:04Daniel, what is this?
00:17:06I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:10All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:13Are you going somewhere?
00:17:15Honey, what a coincidence.
00:17:18We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:21Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:23A vacation?
00:17:24Finally.
00:17:25You're paying attention.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:30Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:32What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:34Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:35That's not what I meant.
00:17:36Whoa.
00:17:37Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:39It's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:43Just like any good husband would.
00:17:45Oh, I see.
00:17:47Is it me?
00:17:48Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:50I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:52I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:54You know what?
00:17:55Maybe I should go.
00:17:56I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:58No, please stay.
00:17:59I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:02No, you know what?
00:18:04I'll go.
00:18:05And clearly she wants you.
00:18:07Willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:09Daniel, wait.
00:18:11I won't ever let you go.
00:18:13He won't leave.
00:18:14He promised.
00:18:15It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:18We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:21I'm going to go back.
00:18:25Daniel!
00:18:26Oh, please.
00:18:29Better than yours.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:32Shhh.
00:18:33Shhh.
00:18:34Shhh.
00:18:35Oh!
00:18:36Oh, good.
00:18:37You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:43It's fun.
00:18:45Why don't look at me like that?
00:18:47I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:49Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:54How lucky for him.
00:18:56He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:58Oh.
00:18:59Oh, Daniel.
00:19:00Whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:02Okay.
00:19:03Listen, man.
00:19:04I...
00:19:05I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:09You can trust me.
00:19:10Hey.
00:19:11Uh...
00:19:12President, I think you're...
00:19:13Mm-mm.
00:19:14You need to go right now.
00:19:15All right.
00:19:16Oh.
00:19:17Hey.
00:19:18Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:20I...
00:19:21I...
00:19:22When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:26I...
00:19:27I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:19:30Just ignore him.
00:19:31He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:32No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:36Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:38Jealous?
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:43Mm-hmm.
00:19:44Whatever.
00:19:45I'm going to bed.
00:19:48You know...
00:19:50I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:55That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:01Daniel...
00:20:02Can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:06Oh, my God.
00:20:08God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:13Are you really gonna ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:17No, it's not like that.
00:20:19I...
00:20:20What?
00:20:22You know what?
00:20:23Fine.
00:20:25You two look great together.
00:20:27Daniel, I...
00:20:38And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:47Um...
00:20:51I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:55Without me you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:58I...
00:20:59I was never the homemaker.
00:21:01Please, Daniel.
00:21:04Please, Daniel.
00:21:06I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:21If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:27I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:30Look at her now.
00:21:44Playing house for another man.
00:21:47If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:50There he is.
00:21:52God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:21:55Man.
00:21:56No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:21:58Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:21:59Hmm.
00:22:00Hmm.
00:22:01Hmm.
00:22:02Hmm.
00:22:03Hmm.
00:22:04Hmm.
00:22:05Hmm.
00:22:06Hmm.
00:22:07Hmm.
00:22:08Hmm.
00:22:09Hmm.
00:22:10Hmm.
00:22:11Hmm.
00:22:12Hmm.
00:22:13Hmm.
00:22:14Hmm.
00:22:15Hmm.
00:22:16Hmm.
00:22:17Hmm.
00:22:18Hmm.
00:22:19Hmm.
00:22:20Got some.
00:22:21Yeah.
00:22:22What do you need?
00:22:23Oh, oh.
00:22:24Yeah, there you go.
00:22:25I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:28Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:30Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:35Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:41You're not?
00:22:42A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:45Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:49It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:03What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:04Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:05I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:09And it's unfair!
00:23:10That's a shame, huh?
00:23:11You know what?
00:23:12Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:13Here we go.
00:23:15Ooh!
00:23:16No, it's not to play with that.
00:23:20You never let me do anything!
00:23:23Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:26You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:28It's not about the money.
00:23:29It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:32Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:36Yeah?
00:23:37What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:39You're so annoying!
00:23:41Don't!
00:23:42Don't!
00:23:43Push!
00:23:48I said don't push.
00:23:49Go get a book or something.
00:23:50Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:52He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:55God, what the hell?
00:23:56You just shot me.
00:23:57Call it a lesson.
00:23:58I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:23:59He's not your kid.
00:24:00I wish I was!
00:24:01I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:02I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:03Ouch!
00:24:04I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:05So why don't you make this little vacay yours permanent?
00:24:06Maybe it will be.
00:24:07But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:08You?
00:24:09Man of the house?
00:24:10Please.
00:24:11You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:12I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:14And you're a washed a pack!
00:24:15Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:16How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:18I heard your agents begging for scrap.
00:24:19I'm a fucking fool.
00:24:20I'm a fucking fool.
00:24:21Whatever!
00:24:22I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:23I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:24Ouch!
00:24:25I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:26So why don't you make this little vacay yours permanent?
00:24:27Maybe it will be.
00:24:28But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:30You?
00:24:31Man of the house?
00:24:32Please.
00:24:33You?
00:24:34You?
00:24:35Man of the house?
00:24:36Please.
00:24:37You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:38I'm a fucking star!
00:24:40A star? A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:44Jackson, come on. I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:47No, I'm not going! Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:51Preston! Preston! Preston!
00:25:08You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:20What was that?
00:25:27Daniel! What is happening?
00:25:30It was Dad, Mom! Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:34What? That would be pretty good, babe.
00:25:36What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:38I just wanted to hang out with Jackson. I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:40What? I didn't?
00:25:42Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:44You're acting like a jealous child!
00:25:46I thought you were bigger than this petty shit!
00:25:48He threw a fish tank at me!
00:25:50It's just a fucking fish tank! Grow up!
00:25:52Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:54What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:56What? Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:00Maybe I should go, I'm sorry.
00:26:02No! Oh my God!
00:26:06He's lying!
00:26:08You're a monster!
00:26:10And in front of your son?
00:26:12You have to be kidding!
00:26:14We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:16We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:18Come on, clean this up!
00:26:22Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:26She's mine now, loser.
00:26:28Hello, 911, what's your emergency?
00:26:38I'm bleeding out.
00:26:40I think I hit an artery.
00:26:42I need an ambulance now.
00:26:44Now!
00:26:46You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.
00:27:00To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.
00:27:04Trouble with the missus?
00:27:06Uh, yeah.
00:27:08It's pretty obvious.
00:27:10Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:14I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:18With Preston Eastwood.
00:27:20True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:24I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:27:27You said, um, couple?
00:27:30I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:27:35She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:39She was so sweet.
00:27:44Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:47No, it's... it's an old wound.
00:27:51I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:55Daniel!
00:27:57Sweet and caring.
00:27:59So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:02He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:04And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:12Fuck it.
00:28:14Need to get my shit in y'all.
00:28:18Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:20You once liked my short film.
00:28:21I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:31It needs the right producer.
00:28:33I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:38Where have you been?
00:28:39I kept calling.
00:28:40I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:42Huh?
00:28:43What?
00:28:48I've been busy.
00:28:49Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:52Seriously?
00:28:53Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:55I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:01That's what you want to call it?
00:29:02I...
00:29:03I...
00:29:04I just...
00:29:06I'm sorry.
00:29:07I...
00:29:08Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:15It is what it is.
00:29:17But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:21You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:25Then I think you should go for it.
00:29:27I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:30But...
00:29:31I just...
00:29:32I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:36Seriously.
00:29:38I...
00:29:39I care about you.
00:29:44I'm not mad.
00:29:46I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:47I know when you're angry.
00:29:49Really?
00:29:50I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:52I pay attention?
00:29:54Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:56She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:59That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:01A headline.
00:30:02A performance.
00:30:05Sabrina.
00:30:09Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:10You know what?
00:30:12I hate fighting.
00:30:13So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:16I was thinking...
00:30:18We could revisit your script.
00:30:20I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:24You telling me you finally read it?
00:30:27Well, yeah.
00:30:28The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:31The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:34I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:36Me and you.
00:30:37The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:40I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:45A long time ago.
00:30:47Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:54Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:56There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:59I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:02Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:05Like...
00:31:06I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful.
00:31:27Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:31That's not what I meant.
00:31:32I like it when you make it.
00:31:37I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:41I knew it.
00:31:43You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:45I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:49It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:54Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:57It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:59No, Daniel.
00:32:01No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:08Look what you made me do.
00:32:10Just...
00:32:11Just leave it.
00:32:13I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:17And what?
00:32:18It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:20I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:22And look what I get for it.
00:32:24You know what?
00:32:25Forget it.
00:32:26I have a mirror.
00:32:27Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:29What?

00:51:12This is so surreal.
00:51:13I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:16I can.
00:51:17The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:21Daniel, enjoy this.
00:51:25And get used to compliments.
00:51:27There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:29Fuck.
00:51:30Finish me, I know.
00:51:31I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:35You okay?
00:51:36You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:38I know, it's, um, old habit.
00:51:41Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:45Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:58I know.
00:52:00Our press is good press.
00:52:06Daniel becomes an award-winning director?
00:52:09And he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:14He can't do this to me.
00:52:15Sabrina.
00:52:16You don't need him.
00:52:17Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:19How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:22Move on?
00:52:23Please, honey.
00:52:25He is using her.
00:52:27Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place?
00:52:30Hmm?
00:52:31He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:33How could you say that?
00:52:34I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:38He's proving that to the whole world.
00:52:41Don't you see it?
00:52:42Sabrina.
00:52:43Look at what you've got.
00:52:45A celebrated career.
00:52:46A mansion in the hills.
00:52:48An adorable kid.
00:52:50Melanie's not whining.
00:52:52And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:54Your dream man.
00:52:56You have everything.
00:52:58Like, don't.
00:52:59Have.
00:53:00Him.
00:53:01Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:02Go have the chef make something.
00:53:04No, I hate what she cooks.
00:53:05And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:07Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:09Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:11He's your dad.
00:53:12No!
00:53:13Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:14Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:18It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:20When did he get so cruel?
00:53:22You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:25A doormat.
00:53:27Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:29Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:31Enough!
00:53:32You little shit!
00:53:35Enough!
00:53:36Just enough!
00:53:37Sabrina?
00:53:38What's gotten into you?
00:53:40Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:43Whoa.
00:53:44What's going on here?
00:53:46This room feels really tense.
00:53:48Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:50I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:52No!
00:53:53I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:55And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a time out.
00:53:58It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:54:05Hey babe, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:54:09Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:10Really?
00:54:11Loser?
00:54:12Yeah.
00:54:13You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:16And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:25That's really, really low.
00:54:27Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:32Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:54:34To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:37Face it, Preston.
00:54:39You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:42And you're a fucking thief!
00:54:44Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:46You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:49I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:51Because you know what?
00:54:53Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:54It's not like that, okay?
00:54:56Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:54:59I want to marry you.
00:55:00We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:03What's my birthday?
00:55:04Huh?
00:55:05What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:07What's my favorite color?
00:55:08My favorite song?
00:55:09Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:12Oh, oh wait.
00:55:13What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:15You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:18You don't love me.
00:55:19You don't even know me.
00:55:21This isn't a relationship.
00:55:23This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:26And you know what?
00:55:27I'm done.
00:55:28Get out!
00:55:29I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:31We're over.
00:55:33We're over.
00:55:34No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:35Please.
00:55:36Please, I love you.
00:55:37Just think about it.
00:55:38Look at the press.
00:55:39What this will look like.
00:55:41If I have to call my security,
00:55:43all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:45Get out.
00:55:46Babe, just...
00:55:47Now!
00:55:48Just give me your hand.
00:55:49No.
00:55:50I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:53Nobody sees the real me.
00:55:55I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:57I see all of you.
00:55:59And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:56:02He truly knew me.
00:56:05He loved me.
00:56:07Every flaw.
00:56:09Every fear.
00:56:10Contract or not.
00:56:12He truly loved me.
00:56:14I saved you from social suicide!
00:56:16Saved me?
00:56:18You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:21Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:23And he saved me from you.
00:56:26Security!
00:56:28Security!
00:56:29Security!
00:56:30Come on.
00:56:31Just let's talk about this.
00:56:32No.
00:56:33Come on.
00:56:34Celeste!
00:56:35Do something!
00:56:36Sabrina!
00:56:37Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:38Stop!
00:56:39Was that really necessary?
00:56:41I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:45Is that all you care about?
00:56:46The fame?
00:56:47The headlines?
00:56:48The brand deals?
00:56:50God!
00:56:51You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager!
00:56:56Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:56:58Of course I care about you.
00:57:01I love you.
00:57:02Then prove it.
00:57:04If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:09You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:23I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:25In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:30I mean, you know this.
00:57:32You're a legend.
00:57:33I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:35Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:36You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:39I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing alright.
00:57:41I got projects.
00:57:42Come on!
00:57:43You're built for billion dollar franchises.
00:57:45Hollywood blockbusters.
00:57:46The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:57:48That's where you belong.
00:57:51To be honest, I already did, Ollie.
00:57:53It didn't really end well.
00:57:55Let me guess.
00:57:56My girl?
00:57:57If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:02You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:05You can become a household name and I can get you there.
00:58:09You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:10Three picture deal.
00:58:11Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:58:13Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:15I don't know what to say.
00:58:16Just say yes.
00:58:17You have my number.
00:58:18Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:20Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:22You can't run away from the past.
00:58:24You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:26Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:40Can we talk?
00:58:42Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:46Of course.
00:58:47It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:52Is this a personal story?
00:58:54Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:57Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:01I'll leave it at that.
00:59:06You arrogant little shit.
00:59:08I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:17It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:19I need a favor.
00:59:20I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
00:59:26It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:31Mom?
00:59:32What are you doing?
00:59:33Did you just break my TV?
00:59:38Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:41You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:43You've been so kind though.
00:59:44It's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:50He's back.
00:59:52Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:54Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:56I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:59:59I need to get on that movie.
01:00:01Absolutely not.
01:00:02You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:04If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:07Honey.
01:00:08I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:10He still loves me.
01:00:13He has to.
01:00:15I just need to talk to him.
01:00:17Let.
01:00:18Him.
01:00:19Go.
01:00:21Mom.
01:00:23Honey, I...
01:00:25You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:28I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:33I love you.
01:00:34I love you too.
01:00:38Here we go.
01:00:41This is, um...
01:00:42It's another movie deal.
01:00:43I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:44Okay.
01:00:45Did you get his location?
01:00:46The Oaks.
01:00:478 PM.
01:00:48After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:00:51He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:00:52He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:00:53He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:00:54She's not protecting me.
01:00:56She's protecting her business.
01:00:57Did you get his location?
01:01:02The Oaks, 8 p.m.
01:01:05After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:10He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:21She's not protecting me.
01:01:23She's protecting her business.
01:01:25And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:27But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:31So nice having you back.
01:01:33And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:35Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:37A couple?
01:01:39Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:43If you can even call them that.
01:01:45But you're healthy now.
01:01:46And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:48I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:53The marriage, the kids.
01:01:55I mean, we really tried.
01:01:57I thought I could make a go for it, but, um...
01:01:59It's over.
01:02:01It's over.
01:02:03I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Yswick can offer.
01:02:14Oh.
01:02:15You haven't heard?
01:02:17She dumped him.
01:02:18She dumped him.
01:02:19It was all over People Magazine.
01:02:20She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:22Oh, my God.
01:02:23What?
01:02:24Daniel!
01:02:25Stop!
01:02:26Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:30I'm here to help you.
01:02:31Sabrina.
01:02:32You're making a scene.
01:02:33Let's go home.
01:02:34Sabrina?
01:02:35How could you?
01:02:36What?
01:02:37I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:39I begged and pleaded.
01:02:40Stop lying.
01:02:41I saw you, buddy.
01:02:42I saw you, buddy.
01:02:43I saw you, buddy.
01:02:44I saw you, buddy.
01:02:45I saw you, buddy.
01:02:46I saw you, buddy.
01:02:47I saw you, buddy.
01:02:48I saw you, buddy.
01:02:49I saw you, buddy.
01:02:50I saw you, buddy.
01:02:51What?
01:02:52I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:56I begged and pleaded.
01:02:57Stop lying.
01:02:58I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:02And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:08My God.
01:03:09You're disgusting.
01:03:10I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:12Not anymore.
01:03:13Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:18I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:21I'm your mother.
01:03:23I only want what's best for you.
01:03:26What's best for me?
01:03:28You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:34That all ends today.
01:03:39You're fired.
01:03:41Fired.
01:03:43No.
01:03:46No.
01:03:47You can't do this to me.
01:03:53Please.
01:03:54Please, sweetie.
01:03:55I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:56You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:02I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:04You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:07There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:10I made you.
01:04:11You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:13I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:14We're done here, Mom.
01:04:15If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:19Without another word.
01:04:20I have something to say.
01:04:21I have something to say.
01:04:22I'm sorry.
01:04:23Daniel.
01:04:24I'm sorry.
01:04:25Daniel.
01:04:26I'm sorry.
01:04:27Daniel.
01:04:28I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:29I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:04:30I'm sorry.
01:04:31I'm sorry.
01:04:32I'm sorry.
01:04:33I'm sorry.
01:04:34I'm sorry.
01:04:35I'm sorry.
01:04:36Daniel.
01:04:37I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:39I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:04:47I'm sorry I brought Preston to you.
01:04:52I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:07Apologize to your father.
01:05:09Do I have to?
01:05:11Who raised you, cared for you, packed your lunches when I was on set, laid with you when
01:05:22you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:25He did.
01:05:26He loved you.
01:05:27But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:29I was wrong, Jackson.
01:05:32He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:36And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:40I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:41It's gonna be okay, son.
01:05:42I love you.
01:05:43Okay.
01:05:44Come on, Jackson.
01:05:45Let's go.
01:05:46I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:47For everything.
01:06:01I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:12You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:14I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:19They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:20They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:29People can change, but that doesn't change the past.
01:06:37And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:44Daniel!
01:06:45Daniel!
01:06:46Daniel!
01:06:47Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat
01:06:52on a shelf for ten years?
01:06:53Yes.
01:06:54I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:06:59But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:03I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:09Way to go, John!
01:07:32Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:35We'll keep in touch.
01:07:39How many more do we have today?
01:07:4440, sir.
01:07:45Jesus.
01:07:46Hey, boy!
01:07:47How are we looking?
01:07:48We're still digging.
01:07:49Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:52I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:56Alright, here's the deal.
01:07:57The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:01Today?
01:08:02Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:04That's why I love you, man.
01:08:05Cool under pressure.
01:08:06This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:12Oh, my God.
01:08:13Alright, just bring in the next one.
01:08:14Ah.
01:08:15But that would be...
01:08:17Emily Blake.
01:08:21Emily.
01:08:22Amazing, as always.
01:08:23You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:24Please.
01:08:25I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Jones.
01:08:38How's LA treating you?
01:08:39Oh, my God.
01:08:40Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:43But I am...
01:08:44I'm glad to be back.
01:08:46Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:48Yeah.
01:08:49But...
01:08:50It suits you.
01:08:52You definitely belong here.
01:08:56I do miss you, though.
01:08:58It was fun.
01:09:00Playing the part.
