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

00:00:02Sabrina was a rising star.

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:21Perfect.

00:00:22Get out of Hollywood.

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

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

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

00:00:31No.

00:00:32What have I done?

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

00:00:34He can't.

00:00:35Daniel is a pathetic nobody.

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

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

00:00:41You have everything.

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

00:00:46Daniel!

00:00:46He still loves me.

00:00:48He has to.

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

00:00:51Daniel!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:26I will tell you this.

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

00:01:32Daniel really did it.

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

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

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

00:01:43Our contract expired.

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:02His grandmother.

00:02:03You used to worship Sabrina.

00:02:05What happened?

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:02:22I've seen it.

00:02:24She needs that now.

00:02:26Stay.

00:02:27Marry her.

00:02:29Love her.

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

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

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

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

00:02:46This was the last one.

00:02:47Mom, Daniel.

00:02:52What's going on?

00:02:56What's going on?

00:02:57Honey!

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

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

00:03:06But I need to go.

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

00:03:11Think about it, Daniel.

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

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

00:03:25Ugh, can it wait?

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

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

00:03:33I saw Preston was there.

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

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

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

00:03:45I'm starving.

00:03:46When are we eating?

00:03:47Lunch is on the stove.

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

00:03:52No!

00:03:52I want to eat now!

00:03:54You always know the spot.

00:04:06He doesn't listen.

00:04:07Daniel, please.

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

00:04:15Ugh.

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

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

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

00:04:20Ew!

00:04:21What is this?

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

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

00:04:26I want chicken nuggets!

00:04:27Chicken nuggets!

00:04:28Chicken nuggets!

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

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

00:04:32But I want that!

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

00:04:38You suck!

00:04:39I want chicken nuggets!

00:04:41Give me chicken nuggets!

00:04:42I waited.

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

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

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

00:05:02Enough.

00:05:02Just enough.

00:05:08I want a divorce.

00:05:11I want a divorce.

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

00:05:19Huh?

00:05:21I want...

00:05:23I want chicken nuggets!

00:05:26Give me chicken nuggets!

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

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

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

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

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

00:05:47What is this?

00:05:48Another contract?

00:05:50How big is the role?

00:05:52Who's directing?

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:08Pull my weight?

00:06:09Yeah, you get it.

00:06:11Okay.

00:06:12Mwah!

00:06:13Love you.

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:36I can't.

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

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

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

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

00:06:53Hey, Mom.

00:06:54How you doing?

00:06:54Oh, good, dear.

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

00:07:01Do you need more?

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

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

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

00:07:06I know.

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

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

00:07:18I am, Mom.

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

00:07:26Everything's gonna change.

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

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

00:07:32Everyone, come quick!

00:07:32Come quick!

00:07:33I gotta go.

00:07:34Love you.

00:07:38What is it, Mom?

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

00:07:42Our favorite leading man.

00:07:44Come on.

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

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

00:08:01All right, cut!

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

00:08:10Thank you!

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

00:08:15Sabrina was a rising star.

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

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

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

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

00:08:53You destroyed me, Preston.

00:09:03You spent some blood.

00:09:16Sabrina!

00:09:17Don't!

00:09:19Stay back!

00:09:20Don't.

00:09:21I mean it!

00:09:22Sabrina!

00:09:23Don't do this.

00:09:25Just...

00:09:26Just give me your hand.

00:09:41No!

00:09:42Daniel!

00:09:45I got you.

00:09:46No!

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

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

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

00:09:59Nobody sees the real me.

00:10:01I see you, Sabrina.

00:10:03I see all of you.

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

00:10:07Good to see you.

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

00:10:18Oh, too long.

00:10:18Look at you!

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

00:10:23Of course, babe.

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

00:10:26Are you kidding?

00:10:27Oh, Daniel.

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

00:10:31Oh, there he is!

00:10:33The assistant!

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

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

00:10:42Stop!

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

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

00:10:53Daniel.

00:10:54Oh.

00:10:54Don't embarrass me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:11:14Yeah.

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

00:11:18That's fine.

00:11:20That's fine.

00:11:21Just relax, okay?

00:11:23Be nice.

00:11:32Some people never change.

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

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

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

00:11:52Oh, careful.

00:11:54You all right?

00:11:57I'm still starving.

00:11:59Make me some food.

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

00:12:03Stew?

00:12:05Ew.

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

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

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

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

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

00:12:19Oh, babe.

00:12:21For real?

00:12:22Yeah.

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

00:12:26Donovan Cosmetics.

00:12:28I'm rich.

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

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

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

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

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

00:12:42They were so dull.

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

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

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

00:12:55My treat.

00:12:57Here we go.

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

00:13:00I don't mind.

00:13:01All of you insist.

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

00:13:04So.

00:13:06Okay.

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

00:13:12So.

00:13:13Anyways.

00:13:13Come on, Ben.

00:13:14Let's go.

00:13:16Looks great.

00:13:16Gotcha.

00:13:17There we go.

00:13:18Oh.

00:13:20There's Paps.

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

00:13:24Last time.

00:13:25I promise.

00:13:28You're right.

00:13:29It is the last time.

00:13:32Hey, guys.

00:13:34Hey.

00:13:34Hi.

00:13:36Jackson.

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

00:13:46Contract's fine.

00:13:48It's over.

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

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

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

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

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

00:14:25Sabrina Donovan?

00:14:27I could scream.

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

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

00:14:34OMG.

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

00:14:37A scene that I wrote.

00:14:39Uncredited, of course.

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

00:14:42Wait.

00:14:43Are you two dating?

00:14:44Oh, well, actually.

00:14:45This is totally a date.

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

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

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

00:15:00Your brand?

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

00:15:03You get it, right?

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

00:15:15Well, I...

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

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

00:15:27This is so going viral.

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

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

00:15:32Are...

00:15:33Is this your son?

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

00:15:37Don't be silly.

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

00:15:39A sissy.

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

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

00:15:46But Preston is awesome.

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

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

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

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

00:15:58when he comes home coked out

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:16:18Come on.

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

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

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

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

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

00:16:49Daniel!

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

00:16:53From the sound of it,

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

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

00:16:58Did he see us?

00:16:59Is he looking over here?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:17:14Jackson, enough.

00:17:15What do I do?

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

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

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

00:17:24with the tabloids.

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

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

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

00:17:34A one-way ticket,

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

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

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

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

00:17:48Daniel loves me.

00:17:49He has to understand.

00:17:51This is Hollywood.

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

00:17:54Daniel, I can explain.

00:17:56Daniel, what is this?

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

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

00:18:10Are you going somewhere?

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

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

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

00:18:20A vacation?

00:18:21Finally.

00:18:21You're paying attention.

00:18:23Yeah.

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

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

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

00:18:30Without me cooking and cleaning?

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

00:18:33Whoa.

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

00:18:36That's fine.

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

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

00:18:42Oh, I see.

00:18:43Is it me?

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

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

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

00:18:51You know what?

00:18:52Maybe I should go.

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

00:18:54No, please stay.

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

00:18:59No, you know what?

00:19:00I'll go.

00:19:02And clearly she wants you.

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

00:19:05Daniel, wait.

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

00:19:09He won't leave.

00:19:10He promised.

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

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

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

00:19:18Daniel!

00:19:21Daniel!

00:19:25Please.

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

00:19:27This is...

00:19:27Yeah.

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

00:19:31Oh!

00:19:31Oh, good.

00:19:33You're up.

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

00:19:40It's fun.

00:19:41Well, don't look at me like that.

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

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

00:19:51How lucky for him.

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

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

00:19:59Listen, Matt.

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

00:20:05You can trust me.

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

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

00:20:11All right.

00:20:13Oh, hey.

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

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

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

00:20:26Just ignore him.

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

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

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

00:20:34Jealous?

00:20:34My 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.

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

00:21:01God, God, you're unbelievable.

00:21:08Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?

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

00:21:14I...

00:21:15What?

00:21:17You know what?

00:21:18Fine.

00:21:21You two look great together.

00:21:22Daniel, I...

00:21:23Daniel, I...

00:21:26I...

00:21:28And 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...

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.

00:23:14Got 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...

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

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

00:23:24Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.

00:23:30Hey, uh...

00:23:32You'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.

00:23:54What'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.

00:24:11He knows not to play with that.

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

00:24:19Come 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!

00:24:37Don'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!

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

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

00:25:07Ouch!

00:25:07I mean, you just heard your son.

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

00:25:12Maybe it will be.

00:25:14But until then, I'm still the man of the house.

00:25:17You?

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?

00:25:31Well, I heard your agents beg him 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!

00:25:47Preston!

00:25:48Preston!

00:25:49Preston!

00:26:01You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.

00:26:15What was that?

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!

00:26:30It got me 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 where in the public eye?

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

00:26:52What?

00:26:52Everyone knows your precious press had attacked me?

00:26:56Maybe I should go.

00:26:57I'm sorry.

00:26:58No!

00:26:58Oh, my God!

00:26:59He's lying!

00:27:03You're a monster!

00:27:04And 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.

00:27:10Close it.

00:27:11We'll talk about this when I get home.

00:27:13Come on.

00:27:14Clean this up!

00:27:17Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.

00:27:22She's mine now, loser.

00:27:23Hello, 911.

00:27:33What's your emergency?

00:27:35I'm bleeding out.

00:27:36I think I hit an artery.

00:27:38I need an ambulance now.

00:27:39Now.

00:27:40Now.

00:27:40You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump

00:27:54you with liquids.

00:27:54To be honest, I could use a break from home.

00:27:57Trouble with the missus?

00:28:01Uh, yeah.

00:28:04It's pretty obvious.

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

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

00:28:13With Preston Eastwood.

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

00:28:18I've been obsessed with them 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...

00:28:43It's an old wound.

00:28:45I tore it, actually, um, ten 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.

00:29:26It 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?

00:29:39What?

00:29:42What?

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...

00:30:00I'm sorry.

00:30:01I...

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

00:30:05It 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.

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

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

00:30:24But I 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.

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

00:30:56A headline.

00:30:57A performance.

00:31:01Sabrina...

00:31:02Sabrina, 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.

00:31:16I 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.

00:31:28I 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.

00:31:41Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.

00:31:47Just like we used to do 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.

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

00:31:59I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.

00:32:22Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you.

00:32:23I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.

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

00:32:26And I like it when you make it.

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

00:32:36I knew it.

00:32:37You are mad that I brought Preston back here.

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

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

00:32:48Married people are fucking boring.

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

00:32:53No, Daniel.

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

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

00:33:04Just leave it.

00:33:08I just 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.

00:33:21I have a premiere.

00:33:22Let's just talk about this tomorrow.

00:33:23What?

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.

00:34:04I 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, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.

00:34:27Come here.

00:34:28Oh.

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.

00:34:42Really?

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, boring, real dad.

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

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

00:35:05What are you doing here?

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.

00:35:51Invited in street rags.

00:35:54Abuse Sabrina's kid and pick a fight with an A-lister.

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

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

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

00:36:08This was all I stop, wasn't it?

00:36:11You were revolting.

00:36:13No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.

00:36:15Hey.

00:36:15Why 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.

00:36:32What the hell?

00:36:53What happened?

00:36:55Oh, my God.

00:36:57Daniel.

00:36:59What the hell happened?

00:37:01Daniel, you're bleeding.

00:37:02Are you okay?

00:37:04Look 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, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.

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, is that true?

00:37:34Sabrina.

00:37:37Oh, yeah, I think he got me in the ribs.

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

00:37:43Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.

00:37:48But Daniel, imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.

00:38:06Mommy, please, we can't leave him.

00:38:09I have to help Preston.

00:38:18Come on, Jackson.

00:38:28I'm here.

00:38:33Daniel!

00:38:35I got you.

00:38:36Don't let me go!

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

00:38:40There's no going back.

00:38:41We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.

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

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

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

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

00:39:07Get out of Hollywood.

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

00:39:11If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.

00:39:32Don't worry about it.

00:39:33Just drive.

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

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

00:39:54Seriously?

00:39:56Slow down.

00:39:57What?

00:39:57Yeah.

00:39:58I'm going to go call the doctor, okay?

00:40:03What are you doing?

00:40:04I thought you were hurt.

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

00:40:14Preston, what are you doing?

00:40:16What if I always wanted to?

00:40:18Come on.

00:40:19I know you want this.

00:40:19I see the way you look at me.

00:40:21Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.

00:40:25We can finally have you in this bedroom.

00:40:37What am I doing?

00:40:39Daniel is still injured.

00:40:41He should be home.

00:40:45Sabrina?

00:40:45Preston, get off.

00:40:58What?

00:40:59Babe, we can finally.

00:41:00Come on.

00:41:01I said get off.

00:41:02What?

00:41:03I need to go take care of Daniel.

00:41:05No, 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.

00:41:15I mean, come on.

00:41:16Sabrina, your son, your mother.

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

00:41:21What?

00:41:22Look, he's already moved on.

00:41:26No.

00:41:27No.

00:41:29What have I done?

00:41:30Where is he?

00:41:32What about me?

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

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

00:41:44Hello?

00:41:45Excuse me.

00:41:47Excuse me.

00:41:48Hi.

00:41:48Have you seen my husband?

00:41:51Please.

00:41:51He was someone bleeding out.

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

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

00:42:00Oh, no.

00:42:02God, Daniel, where are you?

00:42:04I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.

00:42:08Please try again later.

00:42:10What have I done?

00:42:22Come on, Daniel.

00:42:24Answer me.

00:42:30He's not gone.

00:42:32I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.

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

00:42:46No.

00:42:47It's not possible.

00:42:52He will be back.

00:42:55No.

00:42:56Boy, it's all assets.

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

00:43:11The waves all spousal support.

00:43:14No.

00:43:15He can't leave me.

00:43:16He can't do this to me.

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

00:43:19All this time, he's going to leave me.

00:43:48It can't be.

00:43:49It's not a...

00:43:52Honestly, it doesn't matter.

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

00:43:56He loves me.

00:43:58He loves Jackson.

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

00:44:02We're his family.

00:44:04After all these years, everything we've been through...

00:44:09Ahem.

00:44:19I got you.

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

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

00:44:35Daniel?

00:44:36Daniel?

00:44:40No, it's Mom.

00:44:41Is everything okay?

00:44:43You sound panicked.

00:44:43Mom.

00:44:46Mom.

00:44:47Daniel.

00:44:48He just left us.

00:44:51Do you know where he is?

00:44:54We have to find him.

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

00:44:57Oh, honey.

00:44:59It's over.

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

00:45:02You knew?

00:45:04I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.

00:45:06I'm hungry!

00:45:15I'm hungry!

00:45:16Dad!

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

00:45:20Jackson?

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

00:45:27Your dad.

00:45:30Your dad.

00:45:32He's left us.

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

00:45:36Yay!

00:45:37He's gone!

00:45:39Why would you say that?

00:45:41He was so embarrassing!

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

00:45:44Mr. Eastwood?

00:45:46What did Preston say?

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

00:45:49should stick to scrubbing toilets

00:45:51than raising a young man.

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

00:45:56Now he's gone!

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

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

00:46:02Jackson!

00:46:03You have a dad!

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

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

00:46:15Hello?

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

00:46:18Ms. Donovan,

00:46:18it's your accountant.

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

00:46:22I'm sorry,

00:46:23I don't have the time.

00:46:24Large sums have been wired

00:46:25to someone named

00:46:26Preston Eastwood.

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

00:46:29No.

00:46:30But I'm not surprised.

00:46:32Flag his name.

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

00:46:37Jackson,

00:46:38I don't want to ever hear you

00:46:39say Preston's name again.

00:46:41Okay?

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

00:46:43Your father,

00:46:45the one who raised you

00:46:45and cared about you,

00:46:46is out there.

00:46:47And we need to find him

00:46:49at all costs.

00:46:50What kind of coward

00:46:52abandons his family?

00:46:53Huh?

00:46:54It's despicable.

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

00:46:58I cancel everything.

00:47:00The interviews,

00:47:01the red carpets.

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

00:47:04I can't pretend.

00:47:06I 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

00:47:17would do for your career.

00:47:21What?

00:47:22How could you say

00:47:23something like that?

00:47:25Of course I love Daniel.

00:47:27He cares for me.

00:47:28He sees me.

00:47:29He was there for me

00:47:31when Preston dropped me

00:47:32like I was nothing.

00:47:33But Daniel

00:47:34is a pathetic nobody.

00:47:37Daniel's my husband

00:47:38and the father of my son.

00:47:40Yeah, some husband

00:47:42abandoning you

00:47:43without a moment's notice,

00:47:44wanting nothing to do

00:47:45with this child

00:47:45just because the contract ended?

00:47:47Contract?

00:47:49What contract?

00:47:54What are you talking about?

00:47:57Forget it.

00:47:58Forget it.

00:47:59Just pretend

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

00:48:00When I caught you

00:48:01and Daniel

00:48:02at the restaurant

00:48:03the other day

00:48:03you said that he was

00:48:04going on a trip.

00:48:06Is there something

00:48:07you're not telling me?

00:48:08Please.

00:48:09I just want the truth.

00:48:11Mom.

00:48:13Fine.

00:48:14I will tell you the truth.

00:48:16But promise me

00:48:17you won't get mad.

00:48:20I'll tell you the truth,

00:48:22Sabrina.

00:48:22but no,

00:48:25it 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.

00:48:45Stay.

00:48:47Marry her.

00:48:47Love her.

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

00:48:57It was all just

00:48:58some 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.

00:49:06All because you needed me

00:49:08for my career,

00:49:09my money.

00:49:10Well,

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

00:49:11You were about to throw yourself

00:49:18off 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!

00:50:06I'm live

00:50:07at the highly anticipated premiere

00:50:08of How to Tame a Silver Fox

00:50:10that's already generated

00:50:11a considerable buzz

00:50:12for its new writer-director.

00:50:16Speaking of which,

00:50:17there he is now,

00:50:18Mr. Daniel Johnson.

00:50:22Daniel,

00:50:23your film received the palm door

00:50:24at the Cannes Film Festival.

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

00:50:29Honestly,

00:50:30I'm just trying not to trip

00:50:31over my own sheet.

00:50:32Nobody told me now.

00:50:34Oh, man,

00:50:35how uncomfortable

00:50:35these designer shoes would be.

00:50:36I've heard this talk

00:50:38of a sequel.

00:50:39Uh, yeah.

00:50:40Um,

00:50:41God,

00:50:41my career has been

00:50:42a long time in the making,

00:50:43and I haven't been

00:50:45very honest about it,

00:50:45actually.

00:50:46I almost,

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

00:50:48But,

00:50:48London,

00:50:50London lit the fire under me,

00:50:51and I feel like

00:50:52I found my voice,

00:50:53and

00:50:53it really is

00:50:55full steam ahead.

00:50:56Speaking of London,

00:50:57since you're

00:50:57an American writer-director,

00:50:59will you be making

00:50:59your way back to Hollywood?

00:51:03Hollywood.

00:51:04Get out of the country.

00:51:07If I so much as

00:51:08see your name

00:51:09next to my daughters

00:51:10in a tabloid,

00:51:11I will make your life

00:51:13a living hell.

00:51:16Daniel?

00:51:17He's no good

00:51:31at bragging about himself,

00:51:32so I'll do it for him.

00:51:34Daniel is a

00:51:35true auteur

00:51:36and a creative genius,

00:51:39and it was a privilege

00:51:40to be his leading lady.

00:51:41That's not a light compliment

00:51:43coming from Emily Blake,

00:51:44two-time Golden Globe Award-winning

00:51:46actress and celebrated

00:51:47alumni of the

00:51:48Royal Shakespeare Company.

00:51:50Well, I've heard that

00:51:50your relationship

00:51:51wasn't just professional.

00:51:53We'll never tell.

00:51:58Oh my god,

00:51:58thanks for saving me.

00:52:00She was practically

00:52:01eye-fucking you.

00:52:02I know,

00:52:03jeez.

00:52:03This is so surreal.

00:52:05I mean,

00:52:05I can't believe

00:52:06this has happened to me.

00:52:07I can.

00:52:08The moment I read

00:52:09your script,

00:52:10I knew you were special.

00:52:13Daniel,

00:52:13enjoy this.

00:52:16And get used to compliments.

00:52:19There's already

00:52:19asked of us.

00:52:20Fuck.

00:52:21Finish me, I know.

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

00:52:26You okay?

00:52:27You always do that

00:52:28when you're nervous.

00:52:29I know, it's

00:52:30old habit.

00:52:32Well,

00:52:34the world's about to meet

00:52:34its new favourite filmmaker.

00:52:37Some of us

00:52:37just got a head start.

00:52:38not.

00:52:50Matthew,

00:52:51our price is good price.

00:52:57Daniel becomes

00:52:58an award-winning director

00:53:00and he's cheating on me

00:53:02with a BAFTA-winning bitch?

00:53:03He can't do this

00:53:06to me.

00:53:07Sabrina.

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

00:53:09Let him have his

00:53:1015 minutes of fame.

00:53:11How can he move on

00:53:12to that uptight

00:53:12British bitch?

00:53:14Move on?

00:53:15Please, honey.

00:53:17He is using her.

00:53:19Why do you think

00:53:20he signed the contract

00:53:21in the first place,

00:53:21hmm?

00:53:22He wanted to start

00:53:23his career under

00:53:23the Donovan name.

00:53:24How could you say that?

00:53:26I mean,

00:53:26if anything,

00:53:27being with me

00:53:28hurt his career.

00:53:30He's proving that

00:53:31to 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,

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

00:53:43And don't forget

00:53:44about Preston,

00:53:45your dream man.

00:53:47You have everything.

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

00:53:51Mom,

00:53:52I'm hungry.

00:53:53Go have the chef

00:53:54make something.

00:53:55No,

00:53:55I hate what she cooks

00:53:56and I'm tired

00:53:57of chicken nuggets.

00:53:58Why can't you

00:53:59just hire Daniel back?

00:54:00Don't talk about him

00:54:01like that.

00:54:02He's your dad.

00:54:03No,

00:54:04Preston is my real dad now.

00:54:06Daniel's just a guy

00:54:06who made me snacks

00:54:07and cleaned the toilet.

00:54:09It was fun

00:54:09telling him what to do.

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

00:54:13You see,

00:54:14even your own son

00:54:15thinks Daniel's

00:54:15a pathetic pushover,

00:54:17a doormat.

00:54:19Daniel's a doormat.

00:54:20Daniel's a doormat.

00:54:22Enough,

00:54:23you 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

00:54:32you are actually

00:54:32heartbroken over that man.

00:54:34Whoa.

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

00:54:37This room feels really tense.

00:54:39Mom just yelled at me

00:54:40for no reason.

00:54:41I was just making fun

00:54:42of Daniel.

00:54:43No.

00:54:43I yelled at you

00:54:44because you're making fun

00:54:45of your father.

00:54:46And if you keep talking

00:54:47like that,

00:54:48I'm going to put you

00:54:48in a timeout.

00:54:49It's time that you

00:54:50stop acting like

00:54:51a spoiled little brat.

00:54:52Hey, babe,

00:54:57are you really

00:54:58going to get mad

00:54:58at Jackson

00:54:59for what,

00:54:59making fun

00:55:00of that fucking loser?

00:55:01Really?

00:55:02Loser?

00:55:02Yeah.

00:55:03You haven't had a job

00:55:05in over a year,

00:55:06Preston.

00:55:06And you've been

00:55:07mooching off of me

00:55:08and ordering my staff

00:55:10around like

00:55:10you're their boss.

00:55:15That's really,

00:55:16really low.

00:55:17Especially after

00:55:18everything I've done

00:55:19to help you

00:55:19with your brand

00:55:20and keeping it

00:55:21from collapsing

00:55:21in the last year?

00:55:23Come on,

00:55:23we're America's

00:55:24power couple.

00:55:25To be a power couple,

00:55:26you both have

00:55:26to have power.

00:55:28Face it, Preston.

00:55:29You're using me

00:55:30to hide the fact

00:55:31that you're washed up.

00:55:32And you're

00:55:33a fucking thief.

00:55:35Yeah,

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

00:55:37You've been stealing

00:55:37from me all year long.

00:55:39I could have you arrested,

00:55:41but I haven't

00:55:42because you know what?

00:55:43Honestly,

00:55:44I pity you.

00:55:45It's not like that.

00:55:46Okay, look,

00:55:47I was just merging

00:55:48things like couples do.

00:55:49I want to marry you.

00:55:51We're legacy

00:55:52Hollywood fucking royalty.

00:55:54What's my birthday?

00:55:55Huh?

00:55:56What kind of flowers

00:55:57do I like?

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

00:55:59My favorite song?

00:56:00Oh,

00:56:02goddamn movie?

00:56:03Oh,

00:56:05middle name?

00:56:06You don't give a shit

00:56:07about me.

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

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

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

00:56:14This is a publicity stunt.

00:56:16And you know what?

00:56:17I'm done.

00:56:19Get out.

00:56:19I don't want to

00:56:20ever see you again.

00:56:22We're over.

00:56:23We're over.

00:56:24What?

00:56:25No, babe, babe,

00:56:25come on, please.

00:56:26Please, I love you.

00:56:27Just think about it.

00:56:29Think of the press,

00:56:30what this will look like.

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

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

00:56:35uglier.

00:56:35Get out.

00:56:36Babe, just...

00:56:37Now.

00:56:38Just give me your hand.

00:56:39Come on.

00:56:39No.

00:56:39I'm so alone, Daniel.

00:56:43Nobody sees the real me.

00:56:45I see you, Sabrina.

00:56:47I see all of you.

00:56:49And you're never

00:56:50going to be alone again.

00:56:52He truly knew me.

00:56:56He loved me.

00:56:57Every flaw,

00:56:59every fear,

00:57:01contract or not,

00:57:03he truly loved me.

00:57:05I saved you

00:57:05from social suicide.

00:57:07Saved me?

00:57:08You don't even know

00:57:09how ironic that is.

00:57:12Daniel saved me

00:57:13from the ledge

00:57:13and he saved me

00:57:14from you.

00:57:17Security!

00:57:19Security!

00:57:20Come on,

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

00:57:22No.

00:57:23Celeste,

00:57:24do something.

00:57:25Sabrina!

00:57:27Come on,

00:57:27Sabrina!

00:57:28Was that really necessary?

00:57:31I mean,

00:57:31he still is

00:57:32a Hollywood A-lister

00:57:33and people's

00:57:34sexiest man alive.

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

00:57:36The fame,

00:57:37the headlines,

00:57:38the brand deals?

00:57:40God,

00:57:41you're supposed

00:57:42to be my mother first,

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

00:57:46Sabrina,

00:57:47you are being dramatic.

00:57:48Of course I care about you.

00:57:51I love you.

00:57:53Then prove it.

00:57:54If you ever want me

00:57:55in front of a camera again,

00:57:57then you will help me

00:57:58get Daniel back.

00:58:11You'll have to forgive me,

00:58:12Mr. Lee.

00:58:13I'm kind of in shock

00:58:14right now.

00:58:15In film school,

00:58:16we were literally told

00:58:17to watch every single film

00:58:19that you ever produced.

00:58:20I mean,

00:58:21you know this.

00:58:22You're a legend.

00:58:24Appreciated, Daniel.

00:58:25All right,

00:58:25let me cut to the chase.

00:58:26You're a powerhouse

00:58:27sitting idol

00:58:28in the wrong country.

00:58:29I appreciate the compliment,

00:58:30but I mean,

00:58:30I'm doing all right.

00:58:31I got projects.

00:58:32Come on.

00:58:33You're built

00:58:33for billion-dollar franchises,

00:58:35Hollywood blockbusters,

00:58:36the one that gets made in L.A.,

00:58:37not London.

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

00:58:41To be honest,

00:58:41I already did all.

00:58:42It didn't really end well.

00:58:45Let me guess.

00:58:46My girl?

00:58:47If by a girl,

00:58:48he means

00:58:49Hollywood royalty,

00:58:50Sabrina Donovan.

00:58:51You don't walk away

00:58:52from a gift like yours

00:58:53over some heartbreak.

00:58:55You can become

00:58:55a household name,

00:58:57and I can get you there.

00:58:59You're giving me

00:58:59a lot to think about.

00:59:00Three-picture deal.

00:59:01$200 million budget each,

00:59:03creative control,

00:59:04and final cut approval.

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

00:59:06Just say yes.

00:59:07You have my number.

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

00:59:11Just remember, Daniel,

00:59:12you can't run away

00:59:13from the past.

00:59:14You have to face it

00:59:15and tell the fuck off.

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

00:59:30Can we talk?

00:59:32Daniel, can you give us

00:59:33a hint about your first movie

00:59:34with Crazy Maple Studio?

00:59:36Of course.

00:59:36It's about a man

00:59:38who gets fucked over

00:59:38by America's sweetheart

00:59:39and comes out on top.

00:59:41Is this a personal story?

00:59:44Will we get a hint

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

00:59:46Oh.

00:59:49She knows who she is.

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

00:59:54Oh!

00:59:55You arrogant little shit!

00:59:58I told you

00:59:59if you ever set foot

01:00:00in this fucking country,

01:00:01I would unleash

01:00:01a world of hell.

01:00:07It's Celeste Donovan.

01:00:09I need a favor.

01:00:10I need you to track down

01:00:11Daniel Johnson

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

01:00:12around 8 o'clock tonight.

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

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

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

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

01:00:28Can you give us a name

01:00:29for your upcoming film?

01:00:31You know I'm not supposed

01:00:31to do that.

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

01:00:34Um, it's called

01:00:35You Drive Me Crazy.

01:00:36He's back.

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

01:00:43Honey,

01:00:44I didn't want you

01:00:45spiraling again.

01:00:46I'm not a fragile

01:00:47little girl anymore.

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

01:00:50Absolutely not.

01:00:52You're not working

01:00:52for your ex-husband.

01:00:54If you don't get me

01:00:54an audition,

01:00:55then I will get

01:00:56a manager who will.

01:00:57Honey,

01:00:58I'm just looking out for you.

01:00:59He still loves me.

01:01:01He has to.

01:01:04I just need to

01:01:05talk to him.

01:01:06Let him go.

01:01:10Mom.

01:01:12Honey,

01:01:12I...

01:01:13You know

01:01:15I just want

01:01:15what's best for you,

01:01:16right?

01:01:17I just don't want to

01:01:18see my little girl

01:01:19hurt again.

01:01:19I love you.

01:01:23I love you, too.

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

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

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

01:01:34Did you get his location?

01:01:51The Oaks.

01:01:528 p.m.

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

01:01:56Daniel Johnson

01:01:57won't just be

01:01:57blacklisted by Hollywood.

01:01:59He'll be erased

01:02:00from Sabrina's life

01:02:01forever.

01:02:04She's not

01:02:11protecting me.

01:02:12She's protecting

01:02:13her business.

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

01:02:16But if she wants

01:02:17a scandal,

01:02:18she'll get one.

01:02:20So nice

01:02:21having you back.

01:02:22And I don't just

01:02:23mean from the UK.

01:02:25Yeah, it's been

01:02:25a rough couple

01:02:26years, hasn't it?

01:02:27A couple?

01:02:28Daniel, it was

01:02:2910 years of you

01:02:30slaving away

01:02:31for those people,

01:02:32if you can even

01:02:33call them that.

01:02:33But you're healthy

01:02:34now.

01:02:35And I'm at the

01:02:35top of my career.

01:02:37I mean, yeah,

01:02:37there was a time

01:02:38that I loved Sabrina,

01:02:40but I really thought

01:02:41I could make it work.

01:02:42The marriage,

01:02:43the kids.

01:02:44I mean,

01:02:44we really tried.

01:02:46I thought I could

01:02:46make it go for it,

01:02:47but, um...

01:02:48It's over.

01:02:51It's over.

01:02:52I mean,

01:02:52let her chase

01:02:53whatever fantasy

01:02:54she thinks

01:02:54Preston D.

01:02:55we could offer.

01:03:03Oh.

01:03:04You haven't heard?

01:03:06She dumped him.

01:03:08It was all over

01:03:08People magazine.

01:03:10She ended it

01:03:10when his star faded.

01:03:13Oh, my God.

01:03:14What?

01:03:14Daniel!

01:03:23Stop!

01:03:31Sabrina,

01:03:32what 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

01:03:42to ask Daniel

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

01:03:44but he said no.

01:03:44I begged and pleaded.

01:03:46Stop lying.

01:03:48I saw you

01:03:49bribe the waiter

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

01:03:52And I'll bet

01:03:52you called the paparazzi, too,

01:03:54to catch him

01:03:55drugged out of his mind

01:03:56and ruin him.

01:03:57My God.

01:03:58You're disgusting.

01:04:00I'm a manager,

01:04:01Daniel.

01:04:01Not anymore.

01:04:03Why did you become

01:04:04such a conniving,

01:04:06scheming snake?

01:04:07I don't even know

01:04:08who you are.

01:04:09anymore.

01:04:10I'm your mother.

01:04:12I only want

01:04:14what's best for you.

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

01:04:18You've been controlling

01:04:20my life ever since

01:04:21you knew you could

01:04:21profit from it.

01:04:23That all ends today.

01:04:28You're fired.

01:04:30Fired.

01:04:32No.

01:04:34No.

01:04:39You can't do this to me.

01:04:42Please.

01:04:43Please, sweetie.

01:04:44I have dedicated

01:04:45my life to you.

01:04:45You dedicated your life

01:04:47to money

01:04:47and to fame.

01:04:50I was just who

01:04:51you used to get to it.

01:04:53You think you can

01:04:53survive on sheer talent?

01:04:56There's a thousand

01:04:57girls more talented

01:04:57than you waiting

01:04:58for their shot.

01:04:59I made you.

01:05:00You'd be nothing

01:05:01without me.

01:05:05I think she'll do

01:05:06just fine.

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

01:05:14If you want any chance

01:05:17to be in Jackson's life

01:05:18or in mine,

01:05:20you'll leave now.

01:05:22Without another word.

01:05:34I have something to say.

01:05:38I'm sorry, Daniel.

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

01:05:41for granted

01:05:42all of those years.

01:05:44I'm sorry I let my mom

01:05:45manipulate and use you.

01:05:48I'm sorry I brought

01:05:49Preston into our home

01:05:51and poisoned our son

01:05:53towards you.

01:05:57Apologize to your father.

01:05:59Do I have to?

01:06:01Who raised you?

01:06:03Cared for you?

01:06:06Packed your lunches

01:06:07when I was on set?

01:06:09Laid with you

01:06:10when you had nightmares

01:06:11and coddled you

01:06:12when you were sick.

01:06:13He did.

01:06:15He loved you.

01:06:16But you treated him

01:06:17like he was nothing.

01:06:18I was wrong.

01:06:20Jackson,

01:06:21he gave us

01:06:21ten years of his life

01:06:23and we abused it.

01:06:25And now there is

01:06:26nothing we can do

01:06:27to take that back.

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

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

01:06:35I still love you.

01:06:37Okay.

01:06:38Come on, Jackson.

01:06:39Let's go.

01:06:39I'm sorry, Daniel.

01:06:48For everything.

01:06:58I know that look, Daniel.

01:07:01You're thinking of going back to them.

01:07:03No.

01:07:05I just didn't know

01:07:06it would be this hard.

01:07:07They hurt you, Daniel.

01:07:10They tore you to pieces

01:07:12and then just expected you

01:07:14to come running back.

01:07:17People can change.

01:07:19But that doesn't change the past.

01:07:22And the Oscar goes to

01:07:27Daniel Johnson

01:07:28for his original screenplay,

01:07:30Loving Her.

01:07:33Daniel!

01:07:34Daniel!

01:07:35Let's talk to her!

01:07:35Daniel, Daniel!

01:07:36Daniel, is it true

01:07:37that the script that won you Oscars

01:07:38for both writing and directing

01:07:40sat on the shelf

01:07:40for ten years?

01:07:42Yes.

01:07:43I'll admit I got a little sidelined,

01:07:44but, um,

01:07:45I think I found my way back.

01:07:48But, okay,

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

01:07:50I don't think you can truly

01:07:53love someone else

01:07:54until

01:07:55you love yourself.

01:08:01Way to go, Jan!

01:08:20Thank you so much

01:08:21for considering me

01:08:21for this part.

01:08:23We'll keep in touch.

01:08:31How many more do we have today?

01:08:32Forty, sir.

01:08:33Jesus.

01:08:34Yay, boy!

01:08:35How are we looking?

01:08:36We're still digging.

01:08:38Um,

01:08:38no one's cracked the lead yet.

01:08:41I mean,

01:08:42this film lives or dies

01:08:43by the female lead.

01:08:44All right,

01:08:45here's the deal.

01:08:46The studio's on my ass

01:08:47looking to lock and delete

01:08:48today.

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

01:08:55is gonna blow

01:08:56the roof off.

01:09:00Oh, my God.

01:09:01All right,

01:09:01just bring in the next one.

01:09:03That would be

01:09:05Emily Blake.

01:09:09Emily.

01:09:10Amazing, as always.

01:09:17You flew in

01:09:18all the way

01:09:19from London for this?

01:09:20Please.

01:09:21I wasn't gonna miss a shot

01:09:22who auditioned

01:09:23for the great

01:09:23Daniel Johnson.

01:09:26How's LA treating you?

01:09:28Oh, my God.

01:09:29Less tea,

01:09:29but way more traffic.

01:09:31But I am...

01:09:33I'm glad to be back.

01:09:35Well, it's no

01:09:35English countryside.

01:09:37Yeah.

01:09:37But it suits you.

01:09:40You definitely

01:09:41belong here.
