Transcript

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

00:00:04You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?

00:00:06You will end up with nothing.

00:00:08The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.

00:00:11I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.

00:00:14Why don't you make this little vacay of yours?

00:00:16Perfect.

00:00:17Get out of Hollywood.

00:00:18In fact, get out of the country.

00:00:21I gave it everything I had.

00:00:23Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.

00:00:26No.

00:00:27What have I done?

00:00:28He can't be gone.

00:00:29He can't.

00:00:30Daniel is a pathetic nobody.

00:00:33Being with me hurt his career.

00:00:35Look at what you've got.

00:00:36You have everything.

00:00:38I don't have him.

00:00:41Daniel!

00:00:41He still loves me.

00:00:43He has to.

00:00:44And we need to find him at all costs.

00:00:46Daniel!

00:00:53And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.

00:00:59Daniel!

00:01:00Daniel!

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

00:01:04Who knew the house hubby had it in him?

00:01:06I'm an industry joke now.

00:01:08Daniel!

00:01:09Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat

00:01:13on the shelf for 10 years?

00:01:15Wow, you did your homework.

00:01:16Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.

00:01:21Um, I will tell you this.

00:01:22I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.

00:01:28Daniel really did it.

00:01:29The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.

00:01:32You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?

00:01:36You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.

00:01:38Our contract expired.

00:01:41I'm only telling you because you're her manager.

00:01:43If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.

00:01:46The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.

00:01:49I'll always love my son.

00:01:54But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business.

00:01:57His grandmother.

00:01:58You used to worship Sabrina.

00:02:00What happened?

00:02:01That was a long time ago.

00:02:03America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.

00:02:06All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.

00:02:10But her career is hanging by a thread.

00:02:12I need to get those paparazzi off her back.

00:02:15You've always loved her, Daniel.

00:02:17I've seen it.

00:02:18But she needs that now.

00:02:21Stay.

00:02:22Marry her.

00:02:24Love her.

00:02:25So that she doesn't face the world alone.

00:02:28I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.

00:02:31And I'd cherish her like no other man would.

00:02:35If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.

00:02:41This was the last one.

00:02:45Mom, Daniel.

00:02:46What's going on?

00:02:51What's going on?

00:02:53Honey!

00:02:54I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.

00:02:59If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.

00:03:01But I need to go.

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

00:03:06Think about it, Daniel.

00:03:11Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.

00:03:18Sabrina, we need to talk.

00:03:20Ugh, can it wait?

00:03:21I'm seriously so spent.

00:03:23I had the photo shoot, and fitting, and cocktails with girls.

00:03:28I saw Preston was there.

00:03:31I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.

00:03:34I mean, we owe him.

00:03:36Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.

00:03:40I'm starving.

00:03:41When are we eating?

00:03:42Lunch is on the stove.

00:03:44But first, your mother and I need to talk.

00:03:47No!

00:03:47I want to eat now!

00:03:59You always know the spot.

00:04:01He doesn't listen.

00:04:02Daniel, please.

00:04:04I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.

00:04:10I've got something I need to tell you.

00:04:13I'll make it quick.

00:04:14This isn't easy, but I...

00:04:16Ew, what is this?

00:04:18It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.

00:04:20I don't want healthy food.

00:04:21I want chicken nuggets.

00:04:22Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.

00:04:24You can't have that every day.

00:04:26It's not healthy for you.

00:04:27But I want that.

00:04:29Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.

00:04:33You suck.

00:04:34I want chicken nuggets.

00:04:36Give me chicken nuggets.

00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets.

00:04:37I waited.

00:04:45I gave it everything I had.

00:04:49But it takes two to make a marriage work.

00:04:51And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.

00:04:57Enough.

00:04:57Just enough.

00:04:59I want a divorce.

00:05:06I want a divorce.

00:05:12Sabrina, did you hear me?

00:05:15Huh?

00:05:15I want a...

00:05:20I want chicken nuggets.

00:05:21Give me chicken nuggets.

00:05:23Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?

00:05:27Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.

00:05:29We'll get you some real food.

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

00:05:39I mean, it's not that hard.

00:05:41What is this?

00:05:44Another contract?

00:05:45How big is the role?

00:05:47Who's directing?

00:05:49It's not a...

00:05:50Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.

00:05:52Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.

00:05:55Honestly, I am really at my capacity.

00:05:58I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.

00:06:03Pull my weight?

00:06:04Yeah, you get it.

00:06:07Love you.

00:06:09I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.

00:06:13If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.

00:06:16Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.

00:06:19The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.

00:06:29We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.

00:06:31I can't.

00:06:32My wife needs me here in L.A.

00:06:34After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.

00:06:42At least there is one good thing to come from this.

00:06:44I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.

00:06:48Hey, mom.

00:06:49How you doing?

00:06:50Oh, good, dear.

00:06:51I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.

00:06:56Do you need more?

00:06:56No, no, no, no.

00:06:57You've already done so much.

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

00:07:01I know.

00:07:02But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.

00:07:05I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.

00:07:13I am, mom.

00:07:15And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.

00:07:23That's wonderful, dear.

00:07:24You deserve more than what they put you through.

00:07:27Everyone, come quick, come quick!

00:07:28I gotta go.

00:07:29Love you.

00:07:32What is it, mom?

00:07:34Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.

00:07:37Our favorite leading man.

00:07:39Come on.

00:07:46Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.

00:07:53Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.

00:08:02All right, cut.

00:08:04That's a wrap, everyone.

00:08:07We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.

00:08:10Sabrina was a rising star.

00:08:12I was just the director's assistant.

00:08:16Our future's ahead of us.

00:08:20If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.

00:08:23We got a Evans.

00:08:34We'll get her.

00:08:35We're...

00:08:36...

00:08:37You destroyed me, Rester.

00:08:57It just doesn't work.

00:09:05Sabrina, don't!

00:09:12Stay back.

00:09:15I mean it.

00:09:17Sabrina, don't do this.

00:09:21Just...

00:09:24Just give me your hand.

00:09:35No!

00:09:38Daniel!

00:09:40I got you.

00:09:41No!

00:09:42Don't let me go!

00:09:44I won't ever let you go.

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

00:09:54Nobody sees the real people.

00:09:56I see you, Sabrina.

00:09:58I see all of you.

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

00:10:03Good to see you.

00:10:10Oh, my gosh.

00:10:11How long has it been?

00:10:12Oh, too long.

00:10:13What's you?

00:10:14Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.

00:10:18Of course, babe.

00:10:19Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.

00:10:21Are you kidding?

00:10:22Oh, Daniel.

00:10:23Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?

00:10:26Oh, there he is!

00:10:28The assistant!

00:10:29I'll tell you what.

00:10:30There's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.

00:10:32How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?

00:10:37Stop!

00:10:38I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.

00:10:44Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.

00:10:48Daniel!

00:10:49Don't embarrass me.

00:10:50No, it's fine.

00:10:51I'm sorry.

00:10:52Whoa!

00:10:53You played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?

00:10:56He's not just tough.

00:10:57He's Bret Steele tough, you think, you know?

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

00:11:02He doesn't let me do anything.

00:11:04Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.

00:11:07What are you saying?

00:11:08Huh?

00:11:09Yeah.

00:11:10Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.

00:11:13That's fine.

00:11:14That's fine.

00:11:16Just relax, okay?

00:11:18Be nice.

00:11:27Some people never change.

00:11:29But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart

00:11:34again.

00:11:35Yeah.

00:11:36It's nice.

00:11:37But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this L.

00:11:47Oh, careful.

00:11:48You alright?

00:11:49I'm still starving.

00:11:50Make me some food.

00:11:51Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.

00:11:52Stew?

00:11:53Ew.

00:11:54What is this, a soup kitchen?

00:11:55I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets.

00:11:56Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.

00:11:57I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.

00:12:02Daniel, I'm a billionaire.

00:12:03Oh, babe.

00:12:04For real?

00:12:05Yeah.

00:12:06My makeup line took me all the way to the top.

00:12:08Donovan Cosmetics.

00:12:09Rich.

00:12:10Which means we don't have to be grateful.

00:12:11I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.

00:12:23See, Daniel, that was always your problem.

00:12:24You're so caught up on the morals.

00:12:25You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.

00:12:26They were so dull.

00:12:27Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything.

00:12:28Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.

00:12:30So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?

00:12:31My treat.

00:12:32Here we go.

00:12:33What?

00:12:34Oh, you don't have to do that.

00:12:35I don't mind.

00:12:36All of you insist.

00:12:37I mean, I'm already dressed.

00:12:38Oh.

00:12:39Oh.

00:12:40Oh.

00:12:41Oh.

00:12:42Oh.

00:12:43Oh.

00:12:44Oh.

00:12:45Oh.

00:12:46Oh.

00:12:47Oh.

00:12:48Oh.

00:12:49Oh.

00:12:50Oh.

00:12:51Oh.

00:12:52Oh.

00:12:53Oh.

00:12:54Oh.

00:12:55Oh.

00:12:56Oh.

00:12:57Oh.

00:12:58Oh.

00:12:59Oh.

00:13:00Oh.

00:13:01Oh.

00:13:02Oh.

00:13:03Oh.

00:13:04And I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.

00:13:07So.

00:13:08Anyways.

00:13:09Come on, Ben.

00:13:10Let's go.

00:13:11That's great.

00:13:12Gotcha.

00:13:13There we go.

00:13:14Oh.

00:13:15There's Paps.

00:13:17You don't have to come, Daniel.

00:13:19Last time.

00:13:20I promise.

00:13:23You're right.

00:13:24It is the last time.

00:13:27Hey, guys.

00:13:28Hey.

00:13:29Hi.

00:13:30It's Jackson.

00:13:31Jackson.

00:13:37Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?

00:13:41Contract's fine.

00:13:43It's over.

00:13:45Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?

00:13:48I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.

00:13:52After ten years of heartbreak?

00:13:53I don't care if I walk away with nothing.

00:13:54I don't care if I walk away with nothing.

00:13:55Why would Celeste invite me here?

00:13:59She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.

00:14:00Sabrina Donovan.

00:14:01I could scream.

00:14:02I'm literally obsessed with you.

00:14:03Preston Eastwood.

00:14:04I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.

00:14:05OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.

00:14:21Donovan I could scream I'm literally obsessed with you. Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice

00:14:28OMG I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink. A scene that I wrote, uncredited of course, even my success is shadowed by her fame.

00:14:37Wait are you two dating? Oh well actually this is totally a date. All these years I couldn't even be seen with her in public.

00:14:50Do you mind just

00:14:51giving me a little space? You're not really a part of my brand. Your brand? It's just it's not a good look for me. You get it, right?

00:15:08So you two are a thing? Well I- It's okay babe we don't have to lie to our biggest fans.

00:15:22This is so going viral. I can't believe you guys are dating. It looks like more than dating. Is this your son?

00:15:28I wish I was his son Jackson. Don't be silly. You have a dad and he's a sissy.

00:15:35That's what all the boys at school say. He does girly stuff like cook and clean. But Preston is awesome. He's an action spy. I wish he was my dad.

00:15:48My own son doesn't respect me. But we'll see if Preston is the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party with a call girl.

00:15:56It's okay buddy. Every spy needs a partner in crime. If you want me around, I'm in.

00:16:02I'm in. That is if mom's school with it.

00:16:05Oh Preston, I don't know. Daniel, he, you know, he's- Preston, what are you doing?

00:16:13Come on. Let's give him a show.

00:16:15Now that's a Hollywood couple. I told you this divorce was a mistake. Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.

00:16:41Daniel!

00:16:45You know, it's probably for the best. From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.

00:16:51Daniel, he's here? Did he see us? Is he looking over here?

00:16:55Fuck, that's not good. I was just doing that for publicity. I didn't mean for him to see us.

00:17:00Actually, it was perfect timing. Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.

00:17:05Who cares about him, mommy? Now you can be with Mr. Preston.

00:17:09Jackson, enough. What do I do?

00:17:13Well, that's it then. Now I need to handle Sabrina. I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.

00:17:20I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you. You're really good at that.

00:17:25Oh, I have a parting gift for you. A one-way ticket. So you can get as far away from this family as possible.

00:17:34I 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.

00:17:43Daniel loves me. He has to understand. This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.

00:17:49Daniel, I can explain. Daniel, what is this?

00:18:00I can't let her create a public scene. All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.

00:18:04Are you going somewhere?

00:18:06Honey, what a coincidence. We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation. Isn't that right, Daniel?

00:18:14A vacation? Finally. You're paying attention.

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

00:18:21Well, thanks for telling your wife. What are we supposed to do without you?

00:18:25Without me cooking and cleaning?

00:18:26That's not what I meant.

00:18:27Whoa. Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.

00:18:31That's fine. Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit. Just like any good husband would.

00:18:36Oh, I see. Is it me? Is my presence hurting your ego?

00:18:41I wouldn't put jealousy past him.

00:18:44I 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.

00:18:49No, please stay. I want you to live with us forever and ever.

00:18:54No, you know what? I'll go. And clearly she wants you. He's willing to dance to his tune.

00:19:00Daniel, wait.

00:19:02I won't ever let you go.

00:19:04He won't leave. He promised. It doesn't have to be like this. We could pull up a chair and we can...

00:19:12I'm going to go back.

00:19:16Daniel!

00:19:17Oh, please.

00:19:18This bed's in here. This is... Yeah.

00:19:23Shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh, shhh.

00:19:26Oh!

00:19:27Oh, good. You're up.

00:19:29Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.

00:19:34It's fun.

00:19:36Don't look at me like that. I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.

00:19:40Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.

00:19:45How lucky for him. He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.

00:19:49Oh.

00:19:50Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.

00:19:53Listen, Matt, I... I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened. You can trust me.

00:20:01Preston, I think you're... You need to lay down.

00:20:06All right. Oh, hey. Daniel, seriously, listen, man. I... I... When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.

00:20:17I... I'm gonna be the best man of the house.

00:20:21Just ignore him. He doesn't know what he's saying.

00:20:23No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.

00:20:27Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.

00:20:29Jealous?

00:20:31My God, you still don't get it, do you?

00:20:34Whatever, I'm going to bed.

00:20:39You know?

00:20:41Look, I don't think I should be alone.

00:20:46That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.

00:20:51Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?

00:20:56Oh, my God. God, you're unbelievable.

00:21:01Are you really gonna ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?

00:21:07No, it's not like that. I...

00:21:10What?

00:21:12You know what? Fine.

00:21:14You two look great together.

00:21:17Daniel, I...

00:21:31And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.

00:21:34Um, I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.

00:21:46Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.

00:21:49I was never the homemaker.

00:21:55Please, Daniel.

00:22:04I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.

00:22:16If you're sick, can you go in the other room?

00:22:19I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.

00:22:22Look at her now, playing house for another man.

00:22:37If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.

00:22:43Oh, there he is.

00:22:57Hey! There he is!

00:22:59God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m. Man.

00:23:02No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.

00:23:05Life of an A-lister, I guess.

00:23:07I got some.

00:23:11Yeah.

00:23:12What do you need?

00:23:13Oh, oh.

00:23:14Yeah, there you go.

00:23:15I'd offer you some of this shit, but...

00:23:17I doubt you'd like it.

00:23:18Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.

00:23:20Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!

00:23:25Hey, uh...

00:23:27You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?

00:23:31No.

00:23:32A grown man that needs a babysitter?

00:23:35Why would I be threatened by that?

00:23:40It's finally time to make this hack disappear.

00:23:53What's wrong, Jackson?

00:23:55Mr. Eastwood!

00:23:56I want to play with the fist, but my stupid dad won't let me!

00:23:59And it's unfair!

00:24:01That's a shame, huh?

00:24:02You know what?

00:24:03Let me grab it for you, little man.

00:24:04Here we go.

00:24:06Ooh!

00:24:07He knows!

00:24:09Not to play with that.

00:24:11You never let me do anything!

00:24:14Come on.

00:24:15It's just a fish tank, Daniel.

00:24:17You guys can afford an aquarium.

00:24:19It's not about the money.

00:24:20It's about him learning how to respect living things.

00:24:23Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...

00:24:25bad examples.

00:24:27Yeah?

00:24:28What's that supposed to mean?

00:24:29You're so annoying!

00:24:32Don't...

00:24:33push.

00:24:39I said don't push.

00:24:40Go get a book or something.

00:24:41Why don't you get your hands off him?

00:24:43He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.

00:24:46What the hell?

00:24:47You just shot me?

00:24:48Call it a lesson.

00:24:49I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.

00:24:50He's not your kid.

00:24:51I wish I would!

00:24:52I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever!

00:24:53I hate seeing your stupid face!

00:24:54Ouch!

00:24:55I mean, you just hurt your son.

00:24:56So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?

00:24:57Maybe it will be.

00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.

00:24:59You?

00:25:00Man of the house?

00:25:01Please.

00:25:02You're a pussy in an apron.

00:25:03I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.

00:25:06And you're a washed up pack!

00:25:07Still riding on all your old headlines.

00:25:08How were your latest box office numbers, huh?

00:25:09I heard your agents begging for scraps.

00:25:10I'm a fucker.

00:25:11I'm a fucker.

00:25:12I'm a fucker.

00:25:13I'm a fucker.

00:25:14I'm a fucker.

00:25:15I'm a fucker.

00:25:16I'm a fucker.

00:25:17I'm a fucker.

00:25:18I'm a fucker.

00:25:19I'm a fucker.

00:25:20I'm a fucker.

00:25:21I'm a fucker.

00:25:22I'm a fucker.

00:25:23I'm a fucker.

00:25:24I'm a fucker.

00:25:25I'm a fucker.

00:25:26Well, I heard your agent's begging for scraps.

00:25:29I'm a fucking star.

00:25:30A star?

00:25:31A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.

00:25:35Jackson, come on.

00:25:36I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.

00:25:38No, I'm not going.

00:25:39Preston's way cooler than you.

00:25:41Preston, Preston, Preston!

00:25:56You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.

00:26:09What was that?

00:26:17Daniel!

00:26:18What is happening?

00:26:20It was Dad, Mom.

00:26:21Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.

00:26:23What?

00:26:24I'm so scared.

00:26:25That'd be pretty good, babe.

00:26:26I...

00:26:27What the hell, Daniel?

00:26:28I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.

00:26:29He came in looking for a fight.

00:26:30What?

00:26:31I didn't?

00:26:32Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?

00:26:34You're acting like a jealous child.

00:26:36I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.

00:26:38He threw a fish tank at me.

00:26:39It's just a fucking fish tank.

00:26:41Grow up.

00:26:42Remember we're in the public eye?

00:26:44What if your little outburst was caught by the press?

00:26:47What?

00:26:48Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?

00:26:50Maybe I should go.

00:26:52I'm sorry.

00:26:53No.

00:26:54Oh my God.

00:26:55He's lying.

00:26:56You're a monster.

00:26:57And in front of your son?

00:27:00You have to be kidding.

00:27:02We have to get you to the hospital.

00:27:04Yeah.

00:27:05Close it.

00:27:06We'll talk about this when I get home.

00:27:08Come on.

00:27:09Clean this up.

00:27:10Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again.

00:27:14Oh.

00:27:15She's mine now, loser.

00:27:16Hello, 9-1-1.

00:27:17What's your emergency?

00:27:18I'm bleeding out.

00:27:19I think I hit an artery.

00:27:20I need an ambulance now.

00:27:21Now.

00:27:22Now.

00:27:23You did lose a lot of blood.

00:27:24So we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.

00:27:29To be honest, I could use a break from home.

00:27:30Trouble with the missus?

00:27:31Uh.

00:27:32Uh.

00:27:33Yeah.

00:27:34Pretty obvious.

00:27:35Most married folks that come in here are miserable.

00:27:37I shouldn't be saying this.

00:27:38I have to bring my mother

00:27:48to get out of the little pain.

00:27:49Right.

00:27:50No.

00:27:51You did lose a lot of blood.

00:27:52So we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.

00:27:55To be honest, I could use a break from home.

00:27:57Trouble with the missus?

00:27:58Uh.

00:27:59Yeah.

00:28:00Pretty obvious.

00:28:01Most married folks that come in here are miserable.

00:28:03I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here, with Preston Eastwood.

00:28:10True love story, holding hands, wiping tears, I've been obsessed with him since breaking

00:28:16the ice.

00:28:17You said, um, couple?

00:28:20I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!

00:28:25She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.

00:28:29She was so sweet.

00:28:33Need us to check on that shoulder for you?

00:28:37No, it's... it's an old wound.

00:28:40I tore it actually, um, ten years ago.

00:28:44Daniel!

00:28:46Sweet and caring.

00:28:48So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.

00:28:51He only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.

00:28:57Fuck!

00:28:58Let me don't get my shit in y'all.

00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.

00:29:09You once liked my short film.

00:29:10I have a script I've been sitting on.

00:29:12It needs the right producer.

00:29:13I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.

00:29:27Where have you been?

00:29:29I kept calling.

00:29:30I started to feel like one of my stalkers.

00:29:32Huh?

00:29:33What?

00:29:34I've been busy.

00:29:35Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.

00:29:39Seriously?

00:29:40Why does it always have to come back to him?

00:29:45I told you, he's just a friend.

00:29:47Yeah.

00:29:48That's what you want to call it?

00:29:51I, I just, I'm sorry.

00:29:55I, bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.

00:30:03It is what it is.

00:30:05But I mean, you know how the industry works.

00:30:09You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.

00:30:13Then 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.

00:30:25Seriously.

00:30:26I, I care about you.

00:30:32I'm no man.

00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.

00:30:36I know when you're angry.

00:30:38Really? I 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.

00:30:51A performance.

00:30:54Sabrina.

00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.

00:30:59You know what?

00:31:00I hate fighting.

00:31:01So, let's just forget about this, okay?

00:31:04I was thinking.

00:31:06We could revisit your script.

00:31:08I gave that to you three years ago.

00:31:13You telling me you finally read it?

00:31:15Well, yeah.

00:31:16The first ten pages, but they're good.

00:31:19The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.

00:31:22I mean, we have to do this.

00:31:24Me and you.

00:31:25The lead actress and the writer-director.

00:31:27I gave up on that dream of us working together.

00:31:32A long time ago.

00:31:34Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.

00:31:41Just like we used to in film school.

00:31:43There was a time when this would have worked on me.

00:31:47I would have melted in her hands.

00:31:50Now I just want to pack and get out of here.

00:31:53Fine.

00:31:54I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful.

00:32:15I've had a lot of experience making it for you and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.

00:32:19That's not what I meant.

00:32:21And I like it when you make it.

00:32:25I'm not going to always be here to make it.

00:32:30I knew it.

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

00:32:34I told you it was just a publicity stunt.

00:32:38It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.

00:32:43Married people are fucking boring.

00:32:46It's good to know where you stand.

00:32:48No, Daniel.

00:32:49No, that's not what I meant.

00:32:57Look what you made me do.

00:33:00Just leave it.

00:33:02I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.

00:33:06And what?

00:33:07It would make up for all the years of indifference?

00:33:09I'm just trying to do something nice.

00:33:11And look what I get for it.

00:33:13You know what?

00:33:14Forget it.

00:33:15I have a premiere.

00:33:16Let's just talk about this tomorrow.

00:33:18What?

00:33:19Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?

00:33:22Yeah.

00:33:23Ex-mother-in-law.

00:33:25Not quite.

00:33:26That was the divorce contract.

00:33:27But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.

00:33:40This is showbiz, baby.

00:33:41Remember that.

00:33:42I'll text you the address of where to meet me.

00:33:47I'll text you the address of where to meet me.

00:33:59I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.

00:34:04Oh, please. She's always been so secretive.

00:34:07I mean, this is her movie premiere and where is her husband?

00:34:10Maybe she's embarrassed by him.

00:34:13I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.

00:34:17Well, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.

00:34:21Come here.

00:34:25Jackson! We were just talking about your mom.

00:34:29Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?

00:34:32She's with Mr. Eastwood. He's been staying with us.

00:34:35Oh, really?

00:34:38Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?

00:34:41Oh, I hope so. I really hope so.

00:34:43He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.

00:34:47Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.

00:34:50Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.

00:34:53What are you doing here? You never come to these things!

00:35:02Oh, that's gotta be the husband.

00:35:04Get lost! You embarrass us!

00:35:07Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.

00:35:10I wish you never were my dad!

00:35:16Is there a problem?

00:35:21Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood.

00:35:24How could Sabrina choose this flap over Preston?

00:35:27If there was a problem, that's none of your business.

00:35:30I wish Preston was my dad! You're a pathetic loser!

00:35:33Zip it, Jackson.

00:35:35You should probably listen to your kid and head out because you're starting to make a scene.

00:35:40I'm just here to talk to Celeste.

00:35:42That's not what I see.

00:35:44You showed up uninvited!

00:35:46In street rags!

00:35:48Abused Sabrina's kid and picked a fight with an A-lister!

00:35:52That's the kind of story the press would devour.

00:35:56Doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.

00:35:58And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.

00:36:03This was all a stunt, wasn't it?

00:36:05You were revolting.

00:36:07No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.

00:36:09Hey!

00:36:11Why don't you watch your mouth?

00:36:13Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.

00:36:16Yeah.

00:36:17Maybe I should teach him a lesson.

00:36:19Oh yeah?

00:36:20What lesson's that Preston?

00:36:21You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?

00:36:25Hmm.

00:36:30Oh!

00:36:43What the hell?

00:36:44What happened?

00:36:45Oh my god!

00:36:46Daniel!

00:36:47What the hell happened?

00:36:48Daniel, you're bleeding.

00:36:49Are you okay?

00:36:50Look at her go.

00:36:51Hollywood's finest.

00:36:52Always performing when there's an audience.

00:36:53It's Daniel.

00:36:54He's a monster.

00:36:55He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.

00:36:56Mommy!

00:36:57Dad came in here and started shouting at me.

00:36:58No.

00:36:59No, that's not true.

00:37:00If Preston weren't here, Daniel would've manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.

00:37:03Can you imagine the allegations?

00:37:04Daniel, what the hell is that?

00:37:05What the hell is that?

00:37:06I'm not kidding.

00:37:07I'm not kidding.

00:37:08Are you okay?

00:37:09Look at her go.

00:37:10Hollywood's finest.

00:37:11Always performing when there's an audience.

00:37:12It's Daniel.

00:37:13He's a monster.

00:37:14He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.

00:37:15Mommy!

00:37:16Dad came in here and started shouting at me!

00:37:17No.

00:37:18No, that's not true.

00:37:19If Preston weren't here, Daniel would've manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.

00:37:21Can you imagine the allegations?

00:37:22Daniel, is that true?

00:37:29Sabrina.

00:37:30Oh!

00:37:31Yeah, I think he got me in the ribs.

00:37:35I think one of them's broken.

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

00:37:41But, but Daniel!

00:37:45Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.

00:37:50Come on.

00:37:51Come on.

00:38:00Mommy, please!

00:38:01We can't leave him!

00:38:03I...

00:38:04I have...

00:38:05I have to help Preston.

00:38:15I got you.

00:38:20Don't let me go!

00:38:21She's made her choice.

00:38:22There's no going back.

00:38:23We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of

00:38:39me slaving for her.

00:38:41Well, that went even better than I planned.

00:38:52Now we can make a clean break.

00:38:54I wasn't waiting for your permission.

00:38:56There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.

00:39:01Get out of Hollywood.

00:39:02In fact, get out of the country.

00:39:06If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.

00:39:14Don't worry about it.

00:39:27Just drive.

00:39:28I used to ache for her approval.

00:39:44Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.

00:39:47Seriously?

00:39:48So long.

00:39:49I don't know.

00:39:50Why is it...

00:39:51Oh!

00:39:52I'm gonna go call the doctor, okay?

00:39:54What are you doing?

00:39:55I thought you were hurt.

00:39:56I think I'll pull through him.

00:39:57So what are you doing?

00:39:58I've always wanted to.

00:39:59Come on.

00:40:00I know you want this.

00:40:01I see the way you look at me.

00:40:02Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself, we can finally have you in this bedroom.

00:40:32What am I doing?

00:40:33Daniel is still injured.

00:40:35He should be home.

00:40:39Sabrina?

00:40:50Preston, get off.

00:40:52What?

00:40:53Babe, we can finally...

00:40:55I said get off.

00:40:56What?

00:40:57I need to go take care of Daniel.

00:40:59No, forget about him.

00:41:01I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.

00:41:06I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.

00:41:09I mean, come on.

00:41:10Sabrina, your son.

00:41:12Your mother.

00:41:13Even Daniel is pushing us together.

00:41:15What?

00:41:17Look.

00:41:18He's already moved on.

00:41:20No.

00:41:22No.

00:41:23What have I done?

00:41:25Where is he?

00:41:26What about me?

00:41:27You had a chance ten years ago.

00:41:30I need to go take care of my husband.

00:41:31Hello?

00:41:32Excuse me.

00:41:33Excuse me.

00:41:34Hi.

00:41:35Have you seen my husband?

00:41:36Please.

00:41:37He was someone bleeding out.

00:41:38Um, I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.

00:41:51He didn't come back in though.

00:41:53Oh, no.

00:41:54Daniel, where are you?

00:41:55I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.

00:41:56Please try again later.

00:41:57What have I done?

00:41:58Come on, Daniel.

00:41:59Answer me.

00:42:00Come on, Daniel.

00:42:01Answer me.

00:42:02He's not gone.

00:42:03I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.

00:42:05He's not gone.

00:42:06I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.

00:42:19He's not gone. I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.

00:42:28He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.

00:42:40It's not possible. He will be back.

00:42:47He will be back. No.

00:43:00Boy, it's all assets. Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson. The waves all spousal support.

00:43:08No, no, he can't leave me. He can't do this to me. I won't sign off on it.

00:43:17No. All this time, he's going to leave me.

00:43:30It can't be.

00:43:45Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.

00:43:50He loves me. He loves Jackson. He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.

00:43:58After all these years, everything we've been through.

00:44:03I got you. Don't let me go.

00:44:16I got you. Don't let me go.

00:44:28Was I ever really paying attention?

00:44:33Daniel?

00:44:34No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? You sound panicked.

00:44:38Mom. Mom. Daniel. He just left us. Do you know where he is?

00:44:48We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...

00:44:51Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.

00:44:56You knew? I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.

00:45:09I'm hungry! Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!

00:45:14Jackson?

00:45:17I have something to tell you. Your dad...

00:45:24Your dad... He's left us. I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.

00:45:30Yay! He's gone! He's gone!

00:45:33Why would you say that?

00:45:35He was so embarrassing! Even Mr. Eastwood...

00:45:38Mr. Eastwood? What did Preston say?

00:45:41He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets then raising a young man.

00:45:48He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone!

00:45:52Mr. Eastwood is way cooler! He can be my new dad!

00:45:56Jackson! You have a dad! And he's cared for you for seven years!

00:46:01Yeah, but I hate him!

00:46:03Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?

00:46:12Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.

00:46:16I'm sorry, I don't have the time.

00:46:18Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?

00:46:23No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.

00:46:29Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again. Okay? He's not the man you think he is.

00:46:38Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there. And we need to find him at all costs.

00:46:44What kind of coward abandons his family, huh? It's despicable.

00:46:50I can't do this anymore. I cancel everything. The interviews and the red carpets. I don't want to be seen.

00:46:58I can't pretend. I just want him back.

00:47:03Oh, honey. Time to let him go. You don't love him anyway. And think about what Preston would do for your career.

00:47:13What? How could you say something like that? Of course I love Daniel. He cares for me. He sees me. He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.

00:47:27But Daniel is a pathetic nobody. Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.

00:47:34Yeah, some husband. Abandoning you without a moment's notice. Wanting nothing to do with this child just because the contract ended.

00:47:40Contract? What contract? What are you talking about?

00:47:49What are you talking about? Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.

00:47:55When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.

00:48:00Is there something you're not telling me? Please. I just want the truth. Mom.

00:48:07Fine. I will tell you the truth. But promise me you won't get mad.

00:48:14I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina. But no, it was all for your own good.

00:48:24When Preston left you, you were distraught. I had to save you.

00:48:29She's lost without you, Daniel. You've always been there for her. From film school to now. I've seen it.

00:48:38She needs you. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she's never alone again.

00:48:51It was all just some sort of obligation? How could you do this to me?

00:48:57I wanted to protect you. You wanted to control me. All because you needed me for my career, my money.

00:49:04Well, it worked, didn't it?

00:49:08You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop. Daniel did what he was meant to do. He kept you together.

00:49:17Where? Where did he go? I know he told you where he went. Where is he?

00:49:23You can do better than him. You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet. Believe me, it's for the best.

00:49:31No. He can't be gone. He can't.

00:49:34Yes. He is gone and he is gone forever. He can't be. He can't be gone. He can't.

00:49:43I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.

00:49:52Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.

00:50:01Daniel, your film received the palm door at the Cannes Film Festival. What's going through your head tonight?

00:50:10Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own sheet. Nobody told me how. Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.

00:50:19I've heard this talk of a sequel. Uh, yeah. Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making and I've been very honest about it actually. I almost, I almost gave up the dream.

00:50:28But London, London, London lit the fire under me and I feel like I found my voice and it really is full steam ahead.

00:50:37Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?

00:50:42Hollywood.

00:50:57Hollywood.

00:50:59Get out of the country. If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.

00:51:07Daniel?

00:51:12He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him. Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.

00:51:35That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

00:51:44Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.

00:51:48We'll never tell.

00:51:50Oh my god, thanks for saving Emily.

00:51:54She was practically eye-fucking you.

00:51:56I know, jeez. This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.

00:52:01I can. The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.

00:52:07Daniel, enjoy this. And get used to compliments. There's already Oscar buzz.

00:52:14Fuck you. Finish me, I know. I feel like I'm dreaming.

00:52:20You okay? You always do that when you're nervous.

00:52:23Yeah, I know. It's, um, old habit.

00:52:27Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker. Some of us just got a head start.

00:52:33But, um, our press is good press.

00:52:48Daniel becomes an award-winning director. And he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?

00:52:54Grrr! He can't do this to me!

00:52:57Sabrina!

00:52:58You don't need him! Let him have his 15 minutes of fame!

00:53:01How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?

00:53:03Move on?

00:53:05Please, honey. He is using her.

00:53:08Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?

00:53:10He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.

00:53:12How could you say that? I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.

00:53:15Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?

00:53:18He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.

00:53:20I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.

00:53:24He's proving that to the whole world! Don't you see it?

00:53:27Sabrina, look at what you've got.

00:53:31A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.

00:53:36Well, when he's not whining.

00:53:38And don't forget about Preston, your dream man. You have everything.

00:53:43I don't have him.

00:53:46Mom, I'm hungry.

00:53:47Go have the chef make something.

00:53:49No, I hate what she cooks. And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.

00:53:52Why can't you just hire Daniel back?

00:53:54Don't talk about him like that. He's your dad.

00:53:57No! Preston is my real dad now.

00:54:00Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.

00:54:03It was fun telling him what to do.

00:54:05When did he get so cruel?

00:54:07You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover. A doormat.

00:54:13Daniel's a doormat. Daniel's a doormat.

00:54:16Enough! You little shit!

00:54:20Enough! Just enough!

00:54:22Sabrina? What's gotten into you?

00:54:25Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.

00:54:29Whoa. What's going on here? This room feels really tense.

00:54:33Mom just yelled at me for no reason. I was just making fun of Daniel.

00:54:37No! I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.

00:54:40And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a time out.

00:54:43It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!

00:54:47Hey, baby. Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what? Making fun of that fucking loser? Really?

00:54:56Loser?

00:54:57Yeah.

00:54:58You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.

00:55:01And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.

00:55:06That's really, really low. Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year?

00:55:17Come on. We're America's power couple.

00:55:19To be a power couple, you both have to have power. Face it, Preston. You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.

00:55:26And you're a fucking thief! Yeah, I know you're bankrupt. You've been stealing from me all year long.

00:55:33I could have you arrested, but I haven't. Because you know what? Honestly, I pity you.

00:55:39It's not like that, okay? Look, I was just merging things like couples do. I want to marry you. We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.

00:55:48What's my birthday? Huh? What kind of flowers do I like? What's my favorite color? My favorite song?

00:55:54Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie? Oh, oh wait. What's my fucking middle name?

00:56:00You don't give a shit about me. You don't love me. You don't even know me. This isn't a relationship. This is a publicity stunt.

00:56:10And you know what? I'm done. Get out. I don't want to ever see you again. We're over. We're over.

00:56:19Hey, hey, come on. Please. Please, I love you. Just, just think about it. Look at the press. What this will look like?

00:56:25If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier. Get out. Now.

00:56:32Just give me your hand. Come on. No.

00:56:34I'm so alone, Daniel. Nobody sees the real me. I see you, Sabrina. I see all of you. And you're never going to be alone again.

00:56:47He truly knew me. He loved me. Every flaw. Every fear. Contract or not. He truly loved me.

00:56:59I saved you from social suicide. Saved me? You don't even know how ironic that is. Daniel saved me from the ledge. And he saved me from you. Security! Security!

00:57:14Come on. Just let's talk about this. No. Just. Come on. Celeste, do something!

00:57:20Sabrina! Come on, Sabrina!

00:57:23Was that really necessary? I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.

00:57:29Is that all you care about? The fame, the headlines, the brand deals? God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.

00:57:40Sabrina, you are being dramatic. Of course I care about you. I love you. Then prove it. If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.

00:57:53You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee. I'm kind of in shock right now. In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced. I mean, you know this. You're a legend.

00:58:16I appreciate it, Daniel. All right, let me cut to the chase. You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.

00:58:23I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right. I got projects.

00:58:26Come on! You're built for billion dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in LA, not London. That's where you belong!

00:58:34To be honest, I already did LA. It didn't really end well. Let me guess. A girl?

00:58:41If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.

00:58:46You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak. You can become a household name, and I can get you there.

00:58:53You're giving me a lot to think about.

00:58:54Three picture deal. 200 million dollar budget each. Creative control and final cut approval.

00:58:59I don't know what to say.

00:59:00Just say yes. You have my number. Just don't keep me waiting.

00:59:05Just remember, Daniel. You can't run away from the past. You have to face it and tell the fuck off.

00:59:10Hey, it's been a while. Can we talk?

00:59:26Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?

00:59:30Of course. It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.

00:59:36Is this a personal story? Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?

00:59:41Oh. She knows who she is. Um, I'll leave it at that.

00:59:48Oh! You arrogant little shit! I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.

00:59:57It's Celeste Donovan. I need a favor. I need you to track down Daniel Johnson.

01:00:05And find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight. Thank you.

01:00:10It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.

01:00:14Mom? What are you doing?

01:00:19Did you just break my TV?

01:00:21Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?

01:00:24You know I'm not supposed to do that. You've been so kind though. Um, it's called, You Drive Me Crazy.

01:00:31He's back. Why didn't you tell me?

01:00:37Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.

01:00:40I'm not a fragile little girl anymore. I need to get on that movie.

01:00:44Absolutely not. You're not working for your ex-husband.

01:00:48If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.

01:00:51Honey, I'm just looking out for you.

01:00:53He still loves me. He has to. I just need to talk to him.

01:01:00Let. Him. Go.

01:01:03Mom!

01:01:05Honey, I... You know I just want what's best for you, right?

01:01:11I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.

01:01:16I love you.

01:01:18I love you too.

01:01:24This is, um, it's another movie deal. I'll tell you about it after.

01:01:41Did you get his location?

01:01:45The Oaks. 8 PM.

01:01:48After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.

01:01:53He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.

01:01:56She's not protecting me. She's protecting her business. And I'm just a pawn.

01:02:11But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.

01:02:14So nice having you back. And I don't just mean from the UK.

01:02:19Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?

01:02:21A couple?

01:02:23Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.

01:02:26If you can even call them that.

01:02:28But you're healthy now. And I'm at the top of my career.

01:02:31I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina.

01:02:34But I really thought I could make it work.

01:02:36The marriage, the kids.

01:02:38I mean, we really tried.

01:02:40I thought I could make a go for it, but, um...

01:02:43It's over. It's over.

01:02:46I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston D. Swick can offer.

01:02:53Oh. You haven't heard?

01:02:59She dumped him. It was all over People Magazine.

01:03:04She ended it when his star faded.

01:03:06Oh my god, what?

01:03:09Daniel!

01:03:12Stop!

01:03:13Sabrina, what are you doing here?

01:03:27I'm here to help you.

01:03:29Sabrina?

01:03:30You're making a scene. Let's go home.

01:03:33Sabrina?

01:03:34How could you?

01:03:35What? I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.

01:03:39I begged and pleaded.

01:03:41Stop lying.

01:03:42I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.

01:03:46And I'll bet you called the paparazzi too to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.

01:03:52My god. You're disgusting.

01:03:54I'm a manager, Daniel.

01:03:56You're not a man anymore.

01:03:57Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?

01:04:01I don't even know who you are anymore.

01:04:04I'm your mother.

01:04:06I only want what's best for you.

01:04:09What's best for me?

01:04:11You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.

01:04:17That all ends today.

01:04:22You're fired.

01:04:24Fired.

01:04:26No.

01:04:29No.

01:04:34No.

01:04:35You can't do this to me. Please, please, sweetie.

01:04:38I have dedicated my life to you.

01:04:40You dedicated your life to money and to fame.

01:04:43I was just who you used to get to it.

01:04:47You think you can survive on sheer talent?

01:04:50There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.

01:04:53I made you!

01:04:55You'd be nothing without me!

01:05:00I think she'll do just fine.

01:05:07We're done here, Mom.

01:05:09If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.

01:05:17Without another word.

01:05:28I have something to say.

01:05:30I'm sorry, Daniel.

01:05:35I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.

01:05:38I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.

01:05:43I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.

01:05:51Apologize to your father.

01:05:53Do I have to?

01:05:55Who raised you?

01:05:58Cared for you?

01:06:00Packed your lunches when I was on set?

01:06:04Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?

01:06:08He did.

01:06:09He loved you.

01:06:10But you treated him like he was nothing.

01:06:12I was wrong.

01:06:14Jackson.

01:06:15He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.

01:06:19And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.

01:06:22I'm sorry, Dad.

01:06:27It's gonna be okay, son.

01:06:29I still love you.

01:06:31Okay.

01:06:32Come on, Jackson.

01:06:33Let's go.

01:06:40I'm sorry, Daniel.

01:06:42For everything.

01:06:53I know that look, Daniel.

01:06:55You're thinking of going back to them.

01:06:57No.

01:06:59I just didn't know it would be this hard.

01:07:02They hurt you, Daniel.

01:07:05They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.

01:07:11People can change.

01:07:14But that doesn't change the past.

01:07:16And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.

01:07:25Daniel!

01:07:27Daniel!

01:07:28Daniel!

01:07:29Daniel!

01:07:30Daniel!

01:07:31Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on the shelf for ten years?

01:07:36Yes.

01:07:37I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.

01:07:41But, okay, I'll tell you this.

01:07:46I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.

01:07:56Way to go, John!

01:08:11Thank you so much for considering me for this part.

01:08:18We'll keep in touch.

01:08:25How many more do we have today?

01:08:27Forty, sir.

01:08:28Geez.

01:08:29Hey, boy!

01:08:30How are we looking?

01:08:31We're still digging.

01:08:33No one's cracked the lead yet.

01:08:36I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.

01:08:39Alright, here's the deal.

01:08:40The studio is on my ass looking to lock and delete today.

01:08:44Today?

01:08:45Are you fucking kidding me?

01:08:46That's why I love you, man.

01:08:47Cool under pressure.

01:08:49This movie is gonna blow the roof off.

01:08:55Oh my god.

01:08:56Alright, just bring in the next one.

01:08:58That would be...

01:09:00Emily Blake.

01:09:04Emily.

01:09:05Amazing as always.

01:09:08You flew in all the way from London for this?

01:09:10Please.

01:09:12I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.

01:09:15How's LA treating you?

01:09:17Oh my god.

01:09:18Less tea, but way more traffic.

01:09:20But I am...

01:09:22I'm glad to be back.

01:09:23Well, it's no English countryside.

01:09:24Yeah.

01:09:25But it suits you.

01:09:26You definitely belong here.

01:09:28I do miss you though.

01:09:29It was fun.

01:09:30Playing the part.

01:09:31British starlet.

01:09:32American director.

01:09:33I kept waiting for us to become something real.

01:09:35Waiting for us to become something real.

01:09:42I'm sorry, Emily.

01:09:44It just cost me and we'll call it even.

01:09:45You are amazing, as always.

01:09:47But it was fun.

01:09:48I miss you.

01:09:49I miss you.

01:09:50I miss you.

01:09:51I miss you.

01:09:52You are amazing.

01:09:53You are amazing.

01:09:54You're amazing.

01:09:55You are amazing.

01:09:58You are amazing.

01:09:59You are amazing.

01:10:00You are amazing.

01:10:01You were amazing, as always.

01:10:03It's just...

01:10:05It's just not quite what I'm looking for.

01:10:09I never was, was I?

01:10:11Anyways...

01:10:13Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.

01:10:16Maybe I'll see you around?

01:10:18Yeah.

01:10:20Get a coffee, and you know what? Go get one for yourself, too.

01:10:35And be generous with the sugar.

01:10:42My God. What am I going to do?

01:10:50That was quick.

01:11:01What are you doing here?

01:11:04I came to audition.

01:11:08Did you bring any representation?

01:11:10No. I fired my manager, remember?

01:11:14I'm starting fresh.

01:11:33Yeah.

01:11:34It's an old wound that, um...

01:11:36Never really healed.
