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?
00:00:24Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:30Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:37Daniel 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 still 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.
00:01:32Stay. Marry her.
00:01:34Love 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.
00:01:46If 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.
00:01:56Mom, Daniel.
00:01:57What's going on?
00:02:03What's going on?
00:02:05Honey!
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...
00:02:13But I need to go. I have an appointment with your child.
00:02:19Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:20Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, 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 it. Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah, 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.
00:03:00No! I want to eat now!
00:03:13Hmm, you 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 at that god-awful Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:25I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:30Ew, 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.
00:03:39You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:42But I want that!
00:03:43Jackson, 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.
00:04:04But 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.
00:04:11Enough. Enough. Just enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:14I want a divorce.
00:04:22I want a divorce.
00:04:28Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:31I want a divorce.
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, their only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:57What 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.
00:05:09Hard 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!
00:05:26Love you.
00:05:26I've devoted myself to this family for 10 long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:34Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:44The movie is Greenland 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, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, mom.
00:06:08How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:09I 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.
00:06:25I can't thank you enough for 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, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42You are wonderful, dear.
00:06:44You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
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, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:07:09and is stealing it back again.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:23All 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.
00:07:45Iieve.
00:07:45I haven't.
00:07:58Have a wonderful time.
00:07:58I got it.
00:08:00No.
00:08:02Here we go.
00:08:03Our future's next room.
00:08:03I love you.
00:08:04No.
00:08:04I'll be up.
00:08:05Bye-bye.
00:08:07Sorry, that's the p gesture.
00:08:09No.
00:08:09No.
00:08:10Damn.
00:08:10No.
00:08:11It destroyed me.
00:08:18Rest in.
00:08:20Just let the blood.
00:08:34Sabrina!
00:08:35Don't!
00:08:37Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:40Sabrina.
00:08:41Don't do this.
00:08:43Just.
00:08:46Just 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.
00:09:09I'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.
00:09:26Good to see ya!
00:09:36Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
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?
00:09:47Oh, 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.
00:09:58God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:03Stop!
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.
00:10:16No, it's fine.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:22He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you 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?
00:10:35Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:41It's fine.
00:10:43Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:45Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:59when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:07I'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.
00:11:28What 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?
00:11:45Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics, I'm rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:57I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:01Daniel, 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.
00:12:20Oh, 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...
00:12:30Oh, and I wouldn't invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code, so...
00:12:37Anyways!
00:12:38Come on, babe, let's go!
00:12:40That's great.
00:12:41Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:44There's caps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:50I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:54It is the last time.
00:12:57Guys?
00:12:59Hi!
00:13:00Jackson.
00:13:01Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract sign.
00:13:14It's over.
00:13:16Why 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.
00:13:22To ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:44Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:52Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:55I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00Oh, gee.
00:14:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:04A scene that I wrote.
00:14:05Uncredited, of course.
00:14:07Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait.
00:14:10Are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually...
00:14:12It's totally a date.
00:14:14All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do 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.
00:14:31You get it, right?
00:14:32So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43It's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:55This 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.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:07You 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.
00:15:15But 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.
00:15:25But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if mom's cool with it.
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, let's give him a show.
00:15:49Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:10I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:13Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:24On the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:28Daniel, he's here.
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:32Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:33I was just doing that for Lucie.
00:16:34It didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:38Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:42Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:44Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:50Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:54You need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:01You're really good at that.
00:17:02Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over, but 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.
00:17:23This is Hollywood.
00:17:24It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:29Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:40All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:45Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:48We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:53A vacation?
00:17:54Final.
00:17:55You're paying attention.
00:17:55Yeah, I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:18:00Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What 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.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:10That's fine.
00:18:11Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit, just 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.
00:18:25You know what?
00:18:26Maybe I should go.
00:18:27I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:30I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:33No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:38I'm going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:42I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:45He promised.
00:18:45It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:51I'm going to go back.
00:18:55Daniel!
00:19:00Let them here.
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:06Oh!
00:19:07Oh, good.
00:19:09You're up.
00:19:10After dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:15It's fun.
00:19:17Don't look at me like that.
00:19:19I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:22Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:28He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, Matt.
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:40Man, you can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're the same mom.
00:19:46You need to go right now.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:59I'm going to 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 exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:09Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:17Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:25That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:40God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are 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, what?
00:20:56You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:14And 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.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:34I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:47I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:01If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:04I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:06Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:23If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:27There he is.
00:22:46God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:48Man.
00:22:49No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:53I've got some.
00:22:59What do you mean?
00:23:00Oh, oh.
00:23:01Yeah, there you go.
00:23:02I don't want to do some of this shit, but...
00:23:04I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:13Hey, uh...
00:23:14You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:18You're not?
00:23:19A 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.
00:23:41What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:41Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:44I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:48And it's unfair!
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:51Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:54Ooh!
00:23:55No!
00:23:57Not to play with them!
00:23:59You 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.
00:24:09It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:24:14bad examples.
00:24:16Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:19You're so annoying!
00:24:20I 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, not some pathetic man-surgon like you.
00:24:35What the hell?
00:24:36You just shot me.
00:24:40I called a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:43He's not your kid.
00:24:45I wish I was.
00:24:46I hope Mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:52Ouch.
00:24:53I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:24:55So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:57Um, maybe it will be.
00:24:59But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
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 maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed a pack.
00:25:12Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:15How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:17I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star!
00:25:21A star?
00:25:22A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:26Jackson, come on.
00:25:27I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
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?
00:26:09Daniel!
00:26:10What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:16What?
00:26:16You're so scared!
00:26:17That would be pretty good, babe.
00:26:19What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:22I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:23What?
00:26:24I didn't.
00:26:24Dude, 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.
00:26:31He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:34Throw up.
00:26:35Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What?
00:26:40Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:44Maybe I should go.
00:26:45I'm sorry.
00:26:46No.
00:26:46Oh, my God.
00:26:48He's lying.
00:26:51You're a monster.
00:26:52And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding.
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57Sure.
00:26:59We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:02Clean this up.
00:27:05Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:21Hello, segment one.
00:27:22What's your emergency?
00:27:23Really?
00:27:24I think I hit an hour.
00:27:26I didn't name it.
00:27:27It's now.
00:27:28Now.
00:27:29Now.
00:27:29You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:27:43with the liquid.
00:27:45To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:48Trouble with the missus?
00:27:51Uh...
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:53It's pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:57I shouldn't be saying this, I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:03Miss Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:09I've been obsessed with them since breaking the eyes.
00:28:12You said, um, a couple?
00:28:15I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official.
00:28:20She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:25You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:33No, it's...
00:28:35It's a small wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Sweet and caring.
00:28:45So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:51And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:57Fuck it.
00:28:58Fuck it.
00:29:01I'm going to get my shit out of here.
00:29:04Mr. 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.
00:29:10It needs the right producer.
00:29:20I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:24Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:31Huh?
00:29:35What? I've been busy.
00:29:37I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:38Uh, seriously?
00:29:41Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:50I...
00:29:51I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry.
00:29:55I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what it is.
00:30:05But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:12And I think you should go for it.
00:30:15I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:18But I just...
00:30:19I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:25Seriously.
00:30:26I...
00:30:26I care about you.
00:30:28I don't know that.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:38Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:43Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:52A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:55Sabrina.
00:30:55Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:01I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:31:12I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:17Well, yeah.
00:31:18The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:25Me and you, the lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:31I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:31:40and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:44Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:45There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:53Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:32:15and it was awful.
00:32:19Well, if I had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:32:20I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:31I knew it.
00:32:35You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:50It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:54Look what you made me do.
00:33:02Just leave it.
00:33:06I just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:10And what?
00:33:11It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:13I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I have a mirror.
00:33:20Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:24What?
00:33:38Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:41Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:42Not quite.
00:33:43That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:51Remember that.
00:33:51I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:54I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:10Oh, please.
00:34:11She's always been so secretive.
00:34:13I 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, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:34We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:36Do 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.
00:34:42Oh, really?
00:34:45Do 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.
00:34:54Speaking of, I 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 got to be the husband.
00:35:14Get lost.
00:35:15You embarrass us.
00:35:16Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:24Is there a problem?
00:35:25Oh, my God.
00:35:32That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:37If that was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:43Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to be insane.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:52You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:02That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:08And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all I stopped, was it?
00:36:15You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:19Hey.
00:36:21How 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.
00:36:29Oh, yeah?
00:36:30What lesson is that, Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:38Oh!
00:36:39What the hell?
00:36:58What happened?
00:37:01Oh my god, Daniel!
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, 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.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:18He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:21Mommy!
00:37:21Mommy!
00:37:22Dad came in here and started shouting at me!
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:36Daniel.
00:37:37Is that true?
00:37:38Sabrina.
00:37:43Oh!
00:37:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them is broken.
00:37:49Sabrina?
00:37:50Honey?
00:37:51We need to help Preston.
00:37:55But Daniel!
00:37:59Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:08Mommy, please!
00:38:14We can't leave him!
00:38:16I...
00:38:16I have...
00:38:18I have to help Preston.
00:38:25Yeah.
00:38:30Come on, Jackson.
00:38:38Daniel!
00:38:42I got you.
00:38:44Then let me go!
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:48There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:39:02Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:18In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:21If 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 dry.
00:39:44I used to beg for her approval.
00:40:00Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:06Stay down.
00:40:07I don't know what you're doing.
00:40:08I'm not going to call the doctor, okay?
00:40:14What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:17I think I'll pull through.
00:40:25So what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:30I know you want this.
00:40:31I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32How that Daniel's gone.
00:40:34We have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I could finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:49What am I doing?
00:40:51Daniel is still injured.
00:40:53He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:41:02Listen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally...
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:15What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:19Look, I love Jackson,
00:41:22and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:28I mean, come on.
00:41:29Sabrina, your son, your mother,
00:41:31even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:34What?
00:41:35Look, he's already moved on.
00:41:41No.
00:41:42What have I done?
00:41:44Where is he?
00:41:45What about me?
00:41:46You had a chance ten years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:58Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:00Excuse me.
00:42:02Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:05Please.
00:42:05He was someone bleeding out.
00:42:07I saw him stumble outside holding his head
00:42:09after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:11He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:13Oh, no.
00:42:17God, Daniel, where are you?
00:42:19I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach
00:42:21is no longer in service.
00:42:23Please try again later.
00:42:24Oh, come on, Daniel.
00:42:37Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:45He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:58He loves me too much to abandon me
00:43:00when I need him the most.
00:43:02No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:08He will be back.
00:43:09No.
00:43:11No.
00:43:22Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:43:27The waves all spousal support.
00:43:30No.
00:43:31No, he can't leave me.
00:43:33He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on it.
00:43:45No.
00:43:47All this time,
00:43:49he's gonna leave me.
00:44:01No.
00:44:04It can't be.
00:44:09It's not her.
00:44:10Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:20We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years,
00:44:23everything we've been through.
00:44:25Oh.
00:44:27Oh.
00:44:27Oh.
00:44:27Oh.
00:44:27Oh.
00:44:28Oh.
00:44:29Oh.
00:44:29Oh.
00:44:29Oh.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:34I got you.
00:44:49Don't let me go.
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:58No, it's mom.
00:45:00Is everything okay?
00:45:01You sound panicked.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:05Daniel.
00:45:06He just left us.
00:45:09Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him.
00:45:14We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:16Oh, honey.
00:45:18It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:23I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:25I'm hungry.
00:45:26I'm hungry.
00:45:27Dad!
00:45:28Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:29I'm hungry.
00:45:30Dad!
00:45:31Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:32Taxi?
00:45:33I have something to tell you.
00:45:34Your dad.
00:45:35Your dad.
00:45:36Your dad.
00:45:37Your dad.
00:45:38He's left us.
00:45:39I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:43Yay!
00:45:44He's gone!
00:45:45He's gone!
00:45:46He's gone!
00:45:47Why would you say that?
00:45:48He was so embarrassing.
00:45:49Even Mr. Eastwood.
00:45:50Mr. Eastwood.
00:45:51What did Preston say?
00:45:52He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young
00:45:55man.
00:45:56He was so lame and boring.
00:45:57Now he's gone.
00:45:58Mr. Eastwood.
00:45:59Mr. Eastwood.
00:46:00Is way cooler.
00:46:01He can be my new dad.
00:46:02He's left us.
00:46:03I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:46:04Yay!
00:46:05He's gone!
00:46:06He's gone!
00:46:07He's gone!
00:46:08He's gone!
00:46:09He's gone!
00:46:10Why would you say that?
00:46:11He was so embarrassing.
00:46:12Even Mr. Eastwood.
00:46:13Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:14What did Preston say?
00:46:15He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young
00:46:16man.
00:46:18He was so lame and boring.
00:46:19Now he's gone.
00:46:20Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Mr. Jackson, you have a dad and he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:27Mr. Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43Mr. I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:45Mr. Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50Mr. No.
00:46:51But I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:54I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:57Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:11What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:12Huh?
00:47:13It's despicable.
00:47:14I can't do this anymore.
00:47:15I'll cancel everything.
00:47:16The interviews, the red carpets.
00:47:17I don't want to be seen.
00:47:18I can't pretend.
00:47:19I just want him back.
00:47:20Honey.
00:47:21It's time to let him go.
00:47:22You don't love him anyway.
00:47:23And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:27What?
00:47:28How could you say something like that?
00:47:30Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:31He cares for me.
00:47:32He sees me.
00:47:33He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:35But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:36I don't want him back.
00:47:37I just want him back.
00:47:38I just want him back.
00:47:39Honey.
00:47:40It's time to let him go.
00:47:41You don't love him anyway.
00:47:42And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:47Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:51He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:00Daniel's my husband.
00:48:02And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband.
00:48:05Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:48:07Wanting nothing to do with this child just because I contraended?
00:48:10Contract?
00:48:12What contract?
00:48:18What are you talking about?
00:48:20Forget it.
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you 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.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:39I will tell you the truth.
00:48:41But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:49But know it was all for your own good.
00:48:54When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:58I had to save you.
00:49:00She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:04You've always been there for her.
00:49:06From film school to now.
00:49:08I've seen it.
00:49:10She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:15So that she's never alone again.
00:49:16It 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.
00:49:33All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:37You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:45Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you where he went.
00:49:54Where is he?
00:49:55You can do better than him.
00:49:57You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:50:00Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it'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 and he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone.
00:50:13He can't.
00:50:25He can't be gone.
00:50:26He can't be gone.
00:50:27He can't be gone.
00:50:28He can't be gone.
00:50:29He can't be gone.
00:50:30He can't be gone.
00:50:31He can't be gone.
00:50:32He can't be gone.
00:50:33He can't be gone.
00:50:34He can't be gone.
00:50:35I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of Howl The Tame Silver Fox.
00:50:39That's already generated a considerable buzz for his new writer, director.
00:50:44Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:51Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:54What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:57Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shit.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man.
00:51:03How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:08Yeah.
00:51:09God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:12And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:14I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:16But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:51:20And I feel like I found my voice.
00:51:22And it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American rights director,
00:51:28will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:35Get out of the country.
00:51:36If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:51:41I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:47He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:04Daniel is a true Arthur and a creative genius.
00:52:09And it was a privilege to be his meeting lady.
00:52:11That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:52:14two-time Golden Globe award-winning actress and celebrated alumni
00:52:18of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:23We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:52:31She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know, jeez.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:39The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel.
00:52:46Enjoy this.
00:52:48And get used to compliments.
00:52:50There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me out of it.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01Yes.
00:53:02I'll have it.
00:53:03Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:09So it's just got a head start.
00:53:22I think our press is good press.
00:53:25Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:53:36bitch?
00:53:38You can't do this to me.
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:42He's gonna have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place?
00:53:55Hmm?
00:53:56He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:53:59I 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.
00:54:08Look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:15Well, and he's not whining.
00:54:17And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:19Preston, your dream man.
00:54:22You have everything.
00:54:23I don't.
00:54:24Have.
00:54:25Him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:37No!
00:54:38Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:43It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:45When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:51A doormat.
00:54:52Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:56Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:03Sabrina?
00:55:04What's gotten into you?
00:55:06Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:09Whoa.
00:55:10What's going on here?
00:55:12This room feels really tense.
00:55:14Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:16I 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 going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:32Hey babe.
00:55:33Are you really going to 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.
00:56:00Come on, 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!
00:56:12Yeah, 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.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:28We'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!
00:56:39What'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!
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:00We're over.
00:57:02We'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,
00:57:12all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey, just...
00:57:17Now!
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:21Daniel.
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.
00:57:38Every flaw.
00:57:39Every 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!
00:58:00Security!
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:02Just let's talk about this.
00:58:03No.
00:58:04Come on.
00:58:05Celeste!
00:58:06Do something!
00:58:07Sabrina!
00:58:08Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:09No!
00:58:10Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and 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?
00:58:21God!
00:58:22You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:32I love you.
00:58:33I love you.
00:58:34Then prove it.
00:58:35If you ever want me in front of the camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:40You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:57In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:02I mean, you know this.
00:59:04You're a legend.
00:59:05I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:07All right, 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, I'm doing all right.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:15Come on!
00:59:16You're built for billion dollar franchises, Hollywood 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.
00:59:50Just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember Daniel, you 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.
01:00:14Can we talk?
01:00:16Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:20Of course.
01:00:21It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:26Is this a personal story?
01:00:28Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:31Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:35Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:38You arrogant little shit.
01:00:43I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:52It's Les Donovan.
01:00:54I need a favor.
01:00:55I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:01:01It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom?
01:01:07What are you doing?
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'm supposed to do that?
01:01:19You've been so kind though.
01:01:20Um, it's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:25He's back.
01:01:28Why 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.
01:01:38You'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.
01:01:44Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:46He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:51I just need to talk to him.
01:01:54Let him go.
01:01:57Mom.
01:01:58Honey, I...
01:02:01You know, I just want what's best for you.
01:02:04Right?
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.
01:02:15Here we go.
01:02:18This is, um...
01:02:19It's another movie deal.
01:02:20I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Okay.
01:02:23Did you get his location?
01:02:24The Oaks.
01:02:258 p.m.
01:02:26After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:30He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:31Forever.
01:02:32Forever.
01:02:33Forever.
01:02:34Forever.
01:02:36Forever.
