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.
00:00:18Daniel, 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 to throw 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.
00:01:17All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:20When 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.
00:01:36So 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.
00:01:59What's going on?
00:02:00What's going on?
00:02:05Honey!
00:02:07I 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 child.
00:02:19Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:24Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28And 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.
00:02:49Yeah, 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?
00:02:56Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No! I want to eat now!
00:03:02Hmm, 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 that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:23I 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.
00:03:44Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:04:04But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:06And my self-exerted wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:12Enough. Just enough.
00:04:18I want a divorce.
00:04:22I want a divorce.
00:04:28Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:29I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:40Jackson, 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, your 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...
00:05:07Whatever, 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! Love you.
00:05:26I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:31If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:34Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:37The 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,
00:05:56my career,
00:05:57my 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
00:06:06to 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.
00:06:15Do 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,
00:06:37very soon,
00:06:39everything's gonna change.
00:06:42You look 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.
00:06:49Buddy.
00:06:53What is it, Mom?
00:06:55Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
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.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood,
00:07:15the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:23All right, cut.
00:07:25That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We 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.
00:07:45And we said we got over Hungary.
00:07:57I said it black.
00:07:59When if we were to pull home,
00:08:01I said it black.
00:08:02I said it black.
00:08:02I said it.
00:08:03I mean, I didn't play in the mood.
00:08:09I said it black.
00:08:10But then we saw thunder.
00:08:11I done my Batman.
00:08:12I said it were brutal.
00:08:13You've destroyed me, Rebson.
00:08:19You're just the one.
00:08:34Sabrina, don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:40Sabrina.
00:08:41Don't do this.
00:08:44Just...
00:08:47Just give me your hand.
00:09:00No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:04I got you.
00:09:05No! Don't let me go!
00:09:08I won't ever let you go.
00:09:11I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:17Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:22I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:26Good to see ya!
00:09:27Oh, my gosh! How long has it been?
00:09:29Oh, too long!
00:09:30Look at you!
00:09:31Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:35Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:36Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit. Are you kidding?
00:09:38Oh, Daniel, uh, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:51Oh, there he is! The assistant!
00:09:53I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:57God, how 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 that she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:14Daniel!
00:10:15Don't embarrass me.
00:10:16No, it's fine.
00:10:17I'm sorry.
00:10:18Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:22He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:26My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it. He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:30Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules. What are you saying, huh?
00:10:35Yeah.
00:10:36Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine. It's fine. Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:54Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:03Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:14Oh, I need to be careful. You all right?
00:11:20I'm still starving. Make me some food.
00:11:23Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:26Stew?
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. Donovan Cosmetics. I'm rich.
00:11:53Which means we don't have to be grateful. I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:01Daniel, that was always your problem. You're so caught up on the morals. You realize that's why no one bought your scripts. They were so dull.
00:12:08These mysteries, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:11Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel. So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant? My treat.
00:12:21Here we go.
00:12:22What to do?
00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:25I don't mind.
00:12:26Unless you insist. I mean, I'm already dressed, so...
00:12:29So...
00:12:31Okay.
00:12:32Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so...
00:12:37Anyways!
00:12:38Come on, Daniel, let's go!
00:12:40Screw you, gotcha. Here we go.
00:12:42Thanks.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:44There's caps. You don't have to come, Daniel. Last time. I promise.
00:12:52You're right. It is the last time.
00:12:57You guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:00Jackson.
00:13:01Jackson.
00:13:07Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract signed.
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.
00:13:23Is it ten years of heartbreak? I don't care if I walk away with that, but...
00:13:28Why would Celeste invite me here? She 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. Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:14All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space? You'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. You get it, right?
00:14:41So, you two are a thing?
00:14:43Well, I...
00:14:44It's okay, babe. We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:56This is so going viral. I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:59It looks like more than dating. Is this your son?
00:15:03I wish I was his son, Jackson. Don't be silly.
00:15:07You have a dad and he's a sissy. That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:11He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:14But Preston is awesome. He's an action spy.
00:15:19I wish he was my dad.
00:15:22My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home
00:15:28coked out from a Hollywood after party with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy. Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is, if Mom's schooled it.
00:15:39Oh, Preston, I don't know. Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:48Come on. Let's go Michelle.
00:15:50Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake. Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:17Daniel!
00:16:20You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23I'm the sound of it. Your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:27Daniel, he's here. Did he see us? Is he looking over here?
00:16:31Oh, fuck. That's not good. I was just doing that for Felicia. I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:35Actually, it was perfect timing. Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:41Who cares about him, Mommy? Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:50Well, that's it then. Now I need to handle Sabrina. You need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you. You're really good at that.
00:17:02Ooh! I have a parting gift for you. A 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, I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:21Daniel loves me. He has to understand. This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:17:27Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:36I can't let her create a public scene. All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:43Are you going somewhere?
00:17:45Honey! Oh, what a coincidence. We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation. Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:53A vacation?
00:17:55Final. You're paying attention.
00:17:57Yeah. I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:18:00Well, thanks for telling your wife. What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa! Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:10It's fine. Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit. Just like any good husband would.
00:18:16Oh, look at how you see. Is it me? Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:21I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:23I always knew you were the self-loathing type. You know what? Maybe I should go. I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay. I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:33No, you know what? I'll go. And clearly she wants you. Going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:41I won't ever let you go.
00:18:44He won't leave. He promised. It doesn't have to be like this. We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:50I'm going to go back.
00:18:56Daniel!
00:19:00Thanks. I bet I'm here. This is... Yeah.
00:19:04Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:19:07Oh, good. You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:19:15It was fun.
00:19:18Don't look at me like that. I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:22Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:27How lucky for him. He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:30Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Yeah. Listen, man, I...
00:19:37I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened. You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're...
00:19:46You need to go right now.
00:19:48All right.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously, listen, man, I...
00:19:54When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:59I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:20:03Just ignore him. He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:06No, 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.
00:20:12Jealous?
00:20:14My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:17Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:22You know...
00:20:24I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:26That'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 could look after him?
00:20:40Oh my God.
00:20:42God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:47Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:51No, it's not like that. I...
00:20:54What?
00:20:56You know what? Fine.
00:20:57You two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:02I...
00:21:15And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:18Um...
00:21:26I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:35I was never the homemaker.
00:21:37Please, Daniel.
00:21:41Please, Daniel.
00:21:54I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:58If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:04I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:07Look at her now.
00:22:21Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:25If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:43There he is.
00:22:46I wish I could sleep until 8am, man.
00:22:48No, I had to wake up and have a 5am workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:54Hmm.
00:22:56Hmm.
00:22:57Got some.
00:22:59What do you mean?
00:23:00Oh, oh.
00:23:02I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:23:04I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:06Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:08Bulking 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 you last night, right?
00:23:18You're not?
00:23:20A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:23Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:27It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:31What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:32Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:33I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:35And it's unfair!
00:23:37That's a shame, huh?
00:23:38You know what?
00:23:39Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:40Here we go.
00:23:41Ooh!
00:23:43No!
00:23:45Not to play with them!
00:23:46You never let me do anything!
00:23:49Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:51Because you can afford an aquarium.
00:23:53It's not about the money.
00:23:55It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:58Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:00You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05Because you can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:09It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:12Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:16Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:19You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:27I said don't push.
00:24:29You should go 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-server.
00:24:35God, what the hell is he just showing me?
00:24:41Call it a lesson.
00:24:42I'm teaching a 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 of yours?
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:04Man of the house?
00:25:05Please.
00:25:06You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed a pack.
00:25:13Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:15How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:16I 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 it back into the spotlight.
00:25:26Jackson, come on.
00:25:27I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:29No, I'm not going.
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:35You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:06No.
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!
00:26:17I thought it'd be pretty good, baby.
00:26:18What 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?
00:26:25Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:29I 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?
00:26:40What?
00:26:40Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:44Maybe I should go.
00:26:45I'm sorry.
00:26:46No.
00:26:47Oh, my God.
00:26:47He's lying.
00:26:51You're a monster!
00:26:53And 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.
00:27:17I think I had an hour.
00:27:26I didn't name it.
00:27:27It's now.
00:27:28Now.
00:27:29You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:41So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:44To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:48Trouble with the missus?
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:54Pretty obvious.
00:27:55Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:57I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:03Missed Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:09I've been obsessed with them since breaking the eyes.
00:28:13You said, um, couple?
00:28:14I 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.
00:28:30Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:33No, it's...
00:28:35It's my wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:41Daniel!
00:28:41Sweet 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.
00:29:11It needs the right producer.
00:29:20I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:25Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:28I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:29Fuckers.
00:29:31Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:36I've been busy.
00:29:37Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:39Uh, 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?
00:29:49Um, I, I just, I'm sorry.
00:29:54I, bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what it is.
00:30:03But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:09You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:13And 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, I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:22Seriously, I, I care about you.
00:30:32I'm not mad.
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 wants to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:52A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
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.
00:31:07We could revisit your script.
00:31:12I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:15You telling me you finally read it?
00:31:17Well, yeah.
00:31:18The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:20The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:26Me and you.
00:31:27The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:29I 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, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves
00:31:43into 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, and it was awful.
00:32:18Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'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.
00:32:29I'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.
00:32:52No, 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 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.
00:33:18You know what?
00:33:19Forget it.
00:33:19I have a premiere.
00:33:21Let'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.
00:33:52I'll text you the address when maybe.
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.
00:34:25Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:34We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:36Do you know where she is?
00:34:38Or 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.
00:34:58Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:01What 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 pat out because you're starting to make a scene.
00:35:50I'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 stuff, was it?
00:36:15You were revolting.
00:36:17No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:19Hey.
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.
00:36:29Oh, 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?
00:36:36Hmm.
00:36:39I don't know.
00:36:39Oh!
00:36:40What the hell?
00:36:58What happened?
00:37:01Oh my god!
00:37:03Daniel!
00:37:04What the hell happened?
00:37:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go.
00:37:11Hollywood'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!
00:37:22Dad 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?
00:37:34Daniel, is that true?
00:37:41Sabrina.
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, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:37:53But, but Daniel.
00:37:59Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:13Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:15I, I, I have, I have to help Preston.
00:38:34Come on, Jack.
00:38:41Daniel!
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.
00:39:07Now 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,
00:39:26I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:28Don't worry about it.
00:39:43Don't worry about it.
00:39:43Just try.
00:39:44I used to pick for her approval.
00:40:00Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:02Seriously?
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:06Say that.
00:40:07I know.
00:40:08Why is it?
00:40:08Yeah.
00:40:09Oh.
00:40:10I'm going to call the doctor.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:14What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:17I think I'll pull through.
00:40:19Okay.
00:40:19So what are you doing?
00:40:27I'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.
00:40:33Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to herself.
00:40:36I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:39What am I doing?
00:40:51Daniel is still injured.
00:40:53He should be home.
00:40:57Sabrina?
00:40:57Listen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Hey, we can finally come on.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:15What?
00:41:16I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:19Look.
00:41:20I love Jackson, and 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.
00:41:32Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:34What?
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:41No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:44Where is he?
00:41:45What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance ten years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:54Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:01Excuse me.
00:42:02Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:05Please, here was someone bleeding out.
00:42:07I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:11He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:13Oh, no.
00:42:17Content, where are you?
00:42:18I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:23Please try again later.
00:42:25What have I done?
00:42:37Come on, Daniel.
00:42:39Answer me.
00:42:39He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:58He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:02No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:08He will be back.
00:43:09No.
00:43:22Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Clams you across you or 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 him.
00:43:36No.
00:43:36No.
00:43:37No.
00:43:37No.
00:43:39All this time, he's going to leave me.
00:43:51It 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.
00:44:12He loves me.
00:44:16He loves Jackson.
00:44:18He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:20We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:44:24I got you.
00:44:34I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go.
00:44:50Daniel.
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:59No, it's mom.
00:45:00Is everything okay?
00:45:01He's not paying attention.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:06Daniel.
00:45:07He just left us.
00:45:10Do you know where he is?
00:45:13We 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.
00:45:22You knew?
00:45:23I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:34I'm hungry!
00:45:36Dad!
00:45:37Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:40Taxi?
00:45:40I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:50Your dad.
00:45:52He's left us.
00:45:54I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01He was so embarrassing.
00:46:03Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone.
00:46:19Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:23Jackson!
00:46:24You have a dad.
00:46:26And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Hello?
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.
00:46:44I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large thumbs have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:51No.
00:46:52But I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:55I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:59Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:03Okay?
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.
00:47:12What kind of coward abandons his family, huh?
00:47:17It's despicable.
00:47:18I can't do this anymore.
00:47:21I'll cancel everything.
00:47:23The interviews, the red carpets.
00:47:25I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:29I just want him back.
00:47:31Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:47:35You don't love him anyway.
00:47:38Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:48Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:52He sees me.
00:47:53He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:01Daniel's my husband.
00:48:03And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband.
00:48:06Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:48:08Wanting nothing to do with his child just because I contraended.
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.
00:48:25When 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?
00:48:33Please.
00:48:34I just want the truth.
00:48:36Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:38I 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 no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:55When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:59I had to save you.
00:49:01She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:02You'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.
00:49:23It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:27How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:31You wanted to control me.
00:49:33All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:42You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:46Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:53I know he told you where he went.
00:49:55Where is he?
00:49:56You can do better than him.
00:49:58You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:50:00Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:07He can't.
00:50:07Yes.
00:50:08He is gone.
00:50:09And he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone.
00:50:14He can't.
00:50:14I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of how the Tame Silver Fox has already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:28Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:48Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:58Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own feet.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:06I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:08Uh, yeah.
00:51:09Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:13And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:17But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:51:21And I feel like I found my voice.
00:51:23And it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:30Hollywood.
00:51:35Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:51:42that will make your life a living hell.
00:51:47Daniel?
00:52:00He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius.
00:52:10And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:13That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:52:15two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:21Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:25We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh my God, thanks for saving me.
00:52:32She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:34I know, jeez.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:39I can.
00:52:40The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:45Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:47And get used to compliments.
00:52:51There's already asked of us.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me, I don't.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:53:00You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:02Yes.
00:53:02I'll have it.
00:53:05Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:10So, let's just go ahead and start.
00:53:17Daniel, I'll press this good press.
00:53:30Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:53:34and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:37Ugh.
00:53:38You can't do this to me!
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him!
00:53:43Let him have his 15 minutes of fame!
00:53:45How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:48Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:51He is using her.
00:53:53Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
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.
00:54:04He's proving that to the whole world!
00:54:07Don't you see it?
00:54:08Sabrina.
00:54:09Look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an 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 have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:28Go have the chef make something.
00:54:30No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:33Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:35Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:37He's your dad.
00:54:38No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:41Daniel'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?
00:54:49You 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!
00:55:02Enough!
00:55:03Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:06Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:11Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:19No!
00:55:20I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:23And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:26It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:29Hey, man.
00:55:34Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:39Loser?
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.
00:55:53That's really, really low.
00:55:55Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing
00:55:59in 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.
00:56:06Face 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.
00:56:15You'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?
00:56:25Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:28I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:32What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:38My favorite song?
00:56:39Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:42Oh, oh wait.
00:56:43What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:45You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:48You don't love me.
00:56:49You don't even know me.
00:56:51This isn't a relationship.
00:56:53This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:59I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:03We're over.
00:57:04No, hey, babe.
00:57:05Come on, please.
00:57:06Please, I love you.
00:57:07Just think about it.
00:57:09Think of the press.
00:57:10What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey.
00:57:16Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:24Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:32He truly knew me.
00:57:36He loved me.
00:57:37Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:48Saved 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, 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 and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all you care about?
00:58:18The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:58:22God.
00:58:23You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:28Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:33I love you.
00:58:35Then prove it.
00:58:36If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:54You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:58In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:03I mean, you know this.
00:59:05You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:08All 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, the one that gets made
00:59:20in L.A., not London.
00:59:22That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:59:27It didn't really end well.
00:59:28Let me guess.
00:59:29A girl?
00:59:30If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:36You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:39You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:43You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:44Three-picture deal.
00:59:45Two hundred 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.
00:59:54Just remember, Daniel, you can't run away from the past.
00:59:59You 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 with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:21Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:27Is this a personal story?
01:00:29Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:33Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:37I'll leave it at that.
01:00:41You arrogant little shit.
01:00:44I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:51It's less, Donovan.
01:00:55I need a favor.
01:00:56I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:01:02It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:07Mom?
01:01:07What are you doing?
01:01:12Did 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.
01:01:21It's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:26He's back.
01:01:28Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:30Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:33I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:36I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not.
01:01:39You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:41If 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.
01:01:47He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:52I just need to talk to him.
01:01:54Let him go.
01:01:58Mom.
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.
01:02:12I love you, too.
01:02:15Here we go.
01:02:18This is, um...
01:02:19It's another movie deal.
01:02:21I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Okay.
01:02:23Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks.
01:02:418 p.m.
01:02:43After I'm done with him,
01:02:45Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:48He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:50She's not protecting me.
01:03:02She's protecting her business.
01:03:04And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:06But if she wants a scandal,
01:03:07she'll get one.
01:03:08It's so nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:15Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:17A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:22If you can even call them that.
01:03:24You're healthy now.
01:03:25And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:27I mean, yeah, there was a time that I love Sabrina,
01:03:30but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:32The marriage, the kids.
01:03:35I mean, we really tried.
01:03:36I thought I could make it go for it,
01:03:37but it's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:42I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy
01:03:44she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:46Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:57She dumped him.
01:03:59It was all over People magazine.
01:04:01She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:04Oh, my God, it was.
01:04:12Daniel.
01:04:15Stop.
01:04:16Sabina, what are you doing here?
01:04:25I'm here to help you.
01:04:27Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:04:30Let's go home.
01:04:31Sabrina.
01:04:32How could you?
01:04:32What?
01:04:33I just came to ask Daniel
01:04:35if he'd let you audition,
01:04:36but he said no.
01:04:37I begged and pleaded.
01:04:39Stop lying.
01:04:40I saw you bribe the waiter
01:04:42to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:44And I'll bet you called the paparazzi.
01:04:46to catch him drugged out of his mind
01:04:49and ruin him.
01:04:50My God, you're disgusting.
01:04:52I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:54Not anymore.
01:04:55Why did you become such a conniving,
01:04:58scheming snake?
01:05:00I 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?
01:05:12You've been controlling my life
01:05:14ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:17That all is today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:23You're fired.
01:05:25No.
01:05:26No.
01:05:29No.
01:05:33No.
01:05:35You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please.
01:05:37Please, sweetie.
01:05:38I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:40You dedicated your life to money
01:05:42and to fame.
01:05:43I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:47You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:50There's a thousand girls more talented
01:05:52than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:54I made you.
01:05:55You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:57I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:08We're done here, Mom.
01:06:10If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life
01:06:13or in mine,
01:06:15you'll leave now.
01:06:17Without another word.
01:06:19I have something to say.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:36I'm sorry I took you for granted
01:06:38all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom
01:06:41manipulate and use you.
01:06:44I'm sorry I brought
01:06:45Preston into our home
01:06:48and poison our son
01:06:50towards you.
01:06:53Apologize to your father.
01:06:55Do I have to?
01:06:57Who raised you?
01:07:00Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches
01:07:04when I was on set?
01:07:06Laid with you
01:07:07when you had nightmares
01:07:08and coddled you
01:07:08when you were sick?
01:07:10He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:13But you treated him
01:07:14like he was nothing.
01:07:15I was wrong.
01:07:16Jackson,
01:07:17he gave us
01:07:18ten years of his life
01:07:20and we abused it.
01:07:22And now there is
01:07:23nothing we can do
01:07:24to take that back.
01:07:26I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:30It's gonna be okay, son.
01:07:32I love you.
01:07:34Okay.
01:07:35Come on, Jackson.
01:07:36Let's go.
01:07:36Come on.
01:07:37I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:46For everything.
01:07:47I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of going back to them.
01:08:00I just didn't know
01:08:04it would be this hard.
01:08:05They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:08They tore you to pieces
01:08:10and then just expected you
01:08:12to come running back.
01:08:15People can change.
01:08:18But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:20And the Oscar goes to
01:08:25Daniel Johnson
01:08:27for his original screenplay,
01:08:29Loving Her.
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:33Daniel!
01:08:33Daniel!
01:08:33Daniel!
01:08:34Daniel!
01:08:34Daniel, Daniel!
01:08:35Daniel, is it true
01:08:36that the script that won you Oscars
01:08:37for both writing and directing
01:08:39sat on a shelf
01:08:40for ten years?
01:08:41Yes.
01:08:42I'll admit I got a little
01:08:43sidelined, but
01:08:43I think I found my way back.
01:08:46But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:49Um, I don't think you can
01:08:52truly love someone else
01:08:54until you love yourself.
01:09:01Way to go, John!
01:09:16Thank you so much
01:09:21for considering me
01:09:22for this part.
01:09:24We'll keep in touch.
01:09:31What do we have today?
01:09:32Forty.
01:09:33Sorry.
01:09:34Jeez.
01:09:34Hey, boy!

01:09:37Still big in here.
01:09:38Um, no one's cracked
01:09:40the lead yet.
01:09:42I mean, this film
01:09:43lives or dies
01:09:44by a female lead.
01:09:45All right, here's the deal.

01:09:52Are you fucking kidding me?
01:09:53That's why I love you, man.
01:09:54Cool under pressure.
01:09:56This movie
01:09:56is gonna blow
01:09:57the roof off.
01:10:01Oh, my God.
01:10:02All right, just bring me
01:10:03the next one.
01:10:04But that would be
01:10:06Emily Blake.
01:10:10Emily.
01:10:11Amazing as always.
01:10:18You flew in all the way
01:10:20from London for this?
01:10:22Please.
01:10:23I wasn't gonna miss a shot
01:10:24too much for the great
01:10:25Daniel Johnson.
01:10:28How's LA treating you?
01:10:30Oh, my God.
01:10:31Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:33But I am...
01:10:35I'm glad to be back.
01:10:37Well, it's not
01:10:38in this countryside.
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:39But it suits you.
01:10:43You definitely belong here.
01:10:47I do miss you, though.
01:10:49It was fun.
01:10:51Playing the part.
01:10:52British starlet.
01:10:54American director.
01:10:54I kept waiting for us
01:10:57to become something real.
01:11:00Waiting for us
01:11:01to become something real.
01:11:03I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:06It just cost me
01:11:07and we'll call Steven.
01:11:09You were amazing,
01:11:11as always.
01:11:12It's just...
01:11:13It's just not quite
01:11:16what I'm looking for.
01:11:18I never was, was I?
01:11:21Anyways.
01:11:22Got a few more auditions
01:11:23while I'm in town.
01:11:25Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:27Yeah.
01:11:27Yeah.
01:11:33Give me a copy
01:11:40and you know what?
01:11:41Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:44And be generous
01:11:45with the sugar.
01:11:52Oh my God.
01:11:53What am I going to do?
01:12:01That was quick.
01:12:02What are you doing here?
01:12:15I came to audition.
01:12:19Did you bring any representation?
01:12:21No.
01:12:22I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:25I'm starting fresh.
01:12:27Right, um...
01:12:29Hi.
01:12:32I'm Serena 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.
01:12:45It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:48never really healed.
01:12:51I understand.
01:12:52Daniel Johnson.
01:12:59Nice to meet you.
01:13:03Please.
01:13:12Whatever you're ready.
01:13:22I love you.
01:13:37I am...
