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

00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please
00:42:05He was someone bleeding out
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside
00:42:08Holding his head
00:42:09After he spoke to some older woman
00:42:11He didn't come back in though
00:42:12Content
00:42:13Where are you?
00:42:19I'm sorry
00:42:19But the number you are trying to reach
00:42:21Is no longer in service
00:42:22Please try again later
00:42:24What have I done?
00:42:37Come on, Daniel
00:42:38Answer me
00:42:39He's not gone
00:42:46I know Daniel wouldn't leave me
00:42:49He loves me too much
00:42:59To abandon me
00:43:00When I need him the most
00:43:01No
00:43:02It's not possible
00:43:07He will be back
00:43:09No
00:43:11Wait, it's all the assets
00:43:23Climb Zero, Castillo, Jackson
00:43:26The waves all spousal support
00:43:29No
00:43:30No
00:43:31He can't leave me
00:43:32He can't do this to me
00:43:34I won't sign off on him
00:43:35No
00:43:37No
00:43:46All this time
00:43:48He's gonna leave me
00:43:51It can't be
00:44:06It's not it
00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways
00:44:12He loves me
00:44:14He loves me
00:44:15He loves Jackson
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us
00:44:19We're his family
00:44:20After all these years
00:44:23Everything we've been through
00:44:24I got you
00:44:48Don't let me go
00:44:50Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:58No, it's mom
00:44:59Is everything okay?
00:45:01He's not panicked
00:45:02Mom
00:45:02Mom
00:45:05Daniel
00:45:06He just left us
00:45:09Do you know where he is?
00:45:11We have to find him
00:45:14We can check the hospital
00:45:15Or the
00:45:15Oh, honey
00:45:17It's over
00:45:18Daniel's not coming back
00:45:20You knew?
00:45:23I'll come over in the morning
00:45:24And explain everything
00:45:25I'm hungry
00:45:35Dad
00:45:36Breakfast should be ready by now
00:45:38Jackson?
00:45:41I have something to tell you
00:45:44Your dad
00:45:47Your dad
00:45:50He's left us
00:45:53I'm sorry
00:45:54But he's not coming back
00:45:56Yay, he's gone
00:45:57He's gone
00:45:58Why would you say that?
00:46:01It was so embarrassing
00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:08He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:46:10Should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:46:12Then raising a young man
00:46:13He was so lame and boring
00:46:16Now he's gone
00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler
00:46:21He can be my new dad
00:46:22Jackson
00:46:23You have a dad
00:46:25And he's cared for you for seven years
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him
00:46:29Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan
00:46:40It's your accountant
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers
00:46:43I'm sorry
00:46:44I don't have the time
00:46:45Large sums have been wired
00:46:47To someone named
00:46:48Preston Eastwood
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:51No
00:46:51But I'm not surprised
00:46:53Flag his name
00:46:54And I want him frozen
00:46:55And cut off
00:46:56Jackson
00:46:59I don't want to ever hear you say
00:47:01Preston's name again
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is
00:47:05Your father
00:47:06The one who raised you
00:47:07And cared about you
00:47:08Is out there
00:47:09And we need to find him
00:47:11At all costs
00:47:12What kind of coward
00:47:14Abandons his family?
00:47:16Huh?
00:47:16It's despicable
00:47:17I can't do this anymore
00:47:19Or cancel everything
00:47:22The interviews
00:47:23And the red carpets
00:47:24I don't want to be seen
00:47:27I can't pretend
00:47:28I just want him back
00:47:31Honey
00:47:32It's time to let him go
00:47:35You don't love him anyway
00:47:37And think about what Preston would do
00:47:40For your career
00:47:41What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:47Of course I love Daniel
00:47:49He cares for me
00:47:51He sees me
00:47:52He was there for me
00:47:54When Preston dropped me
00:47:55Like I was nothing
00:47:56But Daniel
00:47:58Is a pathetic nobody
00:47:59Daniel's my husband
00:48:02And the father of my son
00:48:04Yeah, some husband
00:48:05Abandoning you
00:48:06Without a moment's notice
00:48:07Wanting nothing to do
00:48:08With his child
00:48:09Just because of the contract
00:48:10And it is
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:14What are you talking about?
00:48:21Forget it
00:48:22Forget it
00:48:23Just pretend I didn't say anything
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel
00:48:26At the restaurant the other day
00:48:28You said that he was going on a trip
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please
00:48:33I just want the truth
00:48:35Mom
00:48:36Fine
00:48:38I will tell you the truth
00:48:40But promise me
00:48:42You won't get mad
00:48:43I'll tell you the truth
00:48:46Sabrina
00:48:47But no
00:48:50It was all for your own good
00:48:52When Preston left you
00:48:56You were distraught
00:48:58I had to save you
00:49:00She's lost without you
00:49:02Daniel
00:49:02You've always been there for her
00:49:06From film school to now
00:49:07I've seen it
00:49:09She needs you
00:49:11Stay
00:49:12Marry her
00:49:13Love her
00:49:14So that she's never alone again
00:49:17It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:26How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you
00:49:30You wanted to control me
00:49:32All because you needed me for my career
00:49:35My money
00:49:36Well
00:49:36It worked, didn't it?
00:49:42You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop
00:49:45Daniel did what he was meant to do
00:49:48He kept you together
00:49:49Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:53I know he told you where he went
00:49:54Where is he?
00:49:56You can do better than him
00:49:57You are Sabrina Donovan
00:50:00Hollywood starlet
00:50:02Believe me
00:50:03It's for the best
00:50:04No
00:50:05He can't be gone
00:50:06He can't
00:50:07Yes
00:50:08He is gone
00:50:09And he is gone
00:50:10Forever
00:50:11He can't be
00:50:12He can't be gone
00:50:13He can't
00:50:14I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of how the team is over Fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director
00:50:28Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel, your film received the palm door at the Cannes Film Festival. What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:42Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speech. Nobody told me how. Oh man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:50:48I've heard this talk of a sequel. Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making and I've been very honest about it actually. I almost, I almost gave up the dream. But London, it's been a long time in the making and I've been very honest about it actually. I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:06But London, London lit the fire under me and I feel like I found my voice and it really is full steam ahead. Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:35Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:52:01He's no good at breaking about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:04Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:12That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two time Golden Globe award winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:25We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh my God, thanks for saving me.
00:52:30She was practically I fucking you.
00:52:31I know, jeez.
00:52:32This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:36I can. The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:42Daniel, enjoy this and get used to compliments. There's already asked of us.
00:52:52This is fucking you.
00:52:53Finish me, I know.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01I think so.
00:53:02I'll have it.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:04Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:08Silver's just got a head start.
00:53:10I know.
00:53:24Our press is good press.
00:53:30Daniel becomes an award winning director and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA winning bitch.
00:53:36He can't do this to me.
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:42Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can you move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:53Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place?
00:53:56He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:54:00I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:09Look at what you've got.
00:54:11A celebrated career.
00:54:12A mansion in the hills.
00:54:14An adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:20Your dream man.
00:54:22You have everything.
00:54:24I don't.
00:54:25Have.
00:54:26Him.
00:54:27Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:28Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:33Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:38No.
00:54:39Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:46When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:56Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:14Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:18No!
00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm gonna put you in a time-out.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:32Hey, babe.
00:55:34Are you really gonna get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:36Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:37Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:52That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Mom, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:13Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:23It's not like that, okay?
00:56:25I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:28I wanna marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:38Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:59I don't wanna ever see you again.
00:57:00We're over.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:03We're over.
00:57:04Hey, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please.
00:57:06Please, I love you.
00:57:07Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security,
00:57:13all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:17Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:21I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real me.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:57:32He truly knew me.
00:57:36He loved me.
00:57:37Every flaw.
00:57:38Every fear.
00:57:39Every flaw.
00:57:40Every fear.
00:57:41Contract or not.
00:57:43He truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:47Saved me?
00:57:49You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:52Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:54And he saved me from you.
00:57:57Security!
00:57:59Security!
00:58:00Security!
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:02Just let's talk about this.
00:58:03No.
00:58:04Come on.
00:58:05Celeste, do something!
00:58:07Sabrina!
00:58:08Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:10Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:58:14and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all you care about?
00:58:18The fame?
00:58:19The headlines?
00:58:20The brand deals?
00:58:22God!
00:58:23You're supposed to be my mother first,
00:58:25not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:33I love you.
00:58:34Then prove it.
00:58:36If you ever want me in front of the camera again,
00:58:38then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:53You'll have to forgive me, Miss Jolie.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:58In film school,
00:58:59we were literally told to watch every single film
00:59:01that you ever produced.
00:59:03I mean, you know this.
00:59:04You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:07Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:09You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:12I appreciate the compliment, but I mean,
00:59:13I'm doing alright.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:15Come on!
00:59:16You're built for billion dollar franchises.
00:59:18Hollywood blockbusters.
00:59:19The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:59:21That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest, I already did LA.
00:59:26It didn't really end well.
00:59:28Let me guess.
00:59:29My girl?
00:59:30If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:35You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:38You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:42You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:44Three picture deal.
00:59:45200 million dollar budget each.
00:59:47Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:49I don't know what to say.
00:59:50I'll just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember Daniel.
00:59:56You can't run away from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:12Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:15Can we talk?
01:00:17Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie
01:00:19with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:20Of course.
01:00:21It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart
01:00:24and comes out on top.
01:00:26Is this a personal story?
01:00:28Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:32Oh.
01:00:34She knows who she is.
01:00:36I'll leave it at that.
01:00:41You arrogant little shit.
01:00:43I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country,
01:00:46I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:48It's Les Donovan.
01:00:49I need a favor.
01:00:50I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:52It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:53Mom?
01:00:54Mom?
01:00:55What are you doing?
01:00:56Did you just break my TV?
01:00:57Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:00:58You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:00:59You've been so kind though.
01:01:00It's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:01He's back.
01:01:02Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:04Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:06I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:11Did you just break my TV?
01:01:14Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:17You know how I was supposed to do that?
01:01:19You've been so kind though. It's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:25He's back.
01:01:27Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:29Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:32I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:35I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not. You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:40If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:43Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:46He still loves me. He has to. I just need to talk to him.
01:01:53Let him go.
01:01:57Mom!
01:01:59Honey, I...
01:02:01You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:05I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:09I love you.
01:02:11I love you too.
01:02:14Here we go.
01:02:18This is, um...
01:02:19It's another movie deal. I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Sure.
01:02:38Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks. 8pm.
01:02:43After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:47You'll be the race most free of life forever.
01:02:59She's not protecting me.
01:03:01She's protecting her business.
01:03:03And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:05But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:09It's so nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:14Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:03:16A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was ten years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:22If you can even call them that.
01:03:23You're healthy now.
01:03:24And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:26I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:32To marriage, to kids.
01:03:34I mean, we really tried.
01:03:36I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:03:39It's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:42I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:46Oh.
01:03:54You haven't heard?
01:03:57She dumped him.
01:03:58It was all over People Magazine.
01:04:00She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:04Oh my gosh, what?
01:04:11Daniel!
01:04:14Stop!
01:04:16Oh!
01:04:23Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:04:25I'm here to help you.
01:04:27Sabrina.
01:04:28We are making a scene.
01:04:29Let's go home.
01:04:31Sabrina?
01:04:32How could you?
01:04:33What?
01:04:34I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:37I begged and pleaded.
01:04:39Stop lying.
01:04:40I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:43And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:49My God.
01:04:50You're disgusting.
01:04:52I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:53Not anymore.
01:04:55Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:59I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:05:03I'm your mother.
01:05:05I only want what's best for you.
01:05:08What's best for me?
01:05:09You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:16That all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:23You're fired.
01:05:25No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:33No.
01:05:35You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:37I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:39You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:44I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:46You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:49There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:53I made you.
01:05:54You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:56I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:07We're done here, Mom.
01:06:10If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:17Without another word.
01:06:26I have something to say.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:36I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:44I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:53Apologize to your father.
01:06:54Do I have to?
01:06:57Who raised you?
01:06:59Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:05Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:09He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:13But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:15I was wrong.
01:07:17Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:20And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:25I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:29It's gonna be okay, son.
01:07:31I love you.
01:07:33Okay.
01:07:35Come on, Jackson. Let's go.
01:07:36Let's go.
01:07:43I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:45For everything.
01:07:47I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of going back to them.
01:08:01I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:04They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:05They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:15People can change.
01:08:17But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:20And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:29Daniel!
01:08:31Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:34Daniel!
01:08:35Daniel, is it true that the script got won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:40Yes.
01:08:41I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:46But, okay.
01:08:48I'll tell you this.
01:08:50I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:57Way to go, John!
01:09:01Way to go, John!
01:09:20Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:24We'll keep in touch.
01:09:31What more do we have today?
01:09:3240.
01:09:33Sorry.
01:09:34Geez.
01:09:35Hey, boy!
01:09:36How we looking?
01:09:37Still digging?
01:09:38Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:42I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:45Alright, here's the deal.
01:09:46The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:50Today?
01:09:51Are you fucking cute?
01:09:53That's why I love you, man.
01:09:54Cool under pressure.
01:09:55This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:10:01Oh, my God.
01:10:02Alright, just bring in the next one.
01:10:03Ah!
01:10:04But that would be...
01:10:06Emily Blake.
01:10:10Emily.
01:10:15Emily.
01:10:16Amazing as always.
01:10:18You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:22Please.
01:10:23I was gonna miss a shot to audition for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:27How's LA treating you?
01:10:29Oh, my God.
01:10:30Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:33But I am...
01:10:35I'm glad to be back.
01:10:37Well, it's not English countryside.
01:10:38Yeah.
01:10:39But...
01:10:40It suits you.
01:10:42You definitely belong here.
01:10:47I do miss you, though.
01:10:49It was fun.
01:10:50Playing the part.
01:10:52Pretty starlet.
01:10:53American director.
01:10:55I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:00Waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:03I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:05It just cost me.
01:11:07And we'll call it even.
01:11:09You...
01:11:10You were amazing, as always.
01:11:12It's just...
01:11:14It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:16I never was, was I?
01:11:20Anyways...
01:11:22Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:25Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:26Yeah.
01:11:27Yeah.
01:11:40Give me a coffee and...
01:11:41You know what?
01:11:42Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:44And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:46Oh, my God.
01:11:48What am I gonna do?
01:11:49That was quick?
01:11:51What am I doing here?
01:11:52I came to audition.
01:11:54Did you bring any representation?
01:11:55No.
01:11:58Oh, my God.
01:11:59Oh, my God.
01:12:00What am I gonna do?
01:12:01That was quick?
01:12:03What am I gonna do?
01:12:05That was quick?
01:12:12What am I doing here?
01:12:14I came to audition.
01:12:16Did you bring any representation?
01:12:20No.
01:12:22I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:25I'm starting fresh.
01:12:27Right, um...
01:12:30Hi.
01:12:32I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:12:37Don't let me go!
01:12:38I got you.
01:12:39I'll never let you go.
01:12:43Are you okay?
01:12:44Yeah.
01:12:44It's an old wound that, um, never really healed.
01:12:51I understand.
01:12:55Daniel Johnson.
01:12:59Nice to meet you.
01:13:02Please.
01:13:11Whenever you're ready,
01:13:12or I know you're ready to be.
01:13:24Can you go to theodie?
01:13:29Can you tell me the whole story?
01:13:29Really?
01:13:30Very nice to meet you.
01:13:31Can you show me the whole story?
01:13:33No.
01:13:34They can come to the body.
01:13:36There were little pictures...
01:13:38I care about it.
