00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:10That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:24Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:30Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:37Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:42You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:48Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:00I'll always love my son.
00:01:04But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:08You still worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:26You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now.
00:01:32Stay. Marry her.
00:01:34Love her.
00:01:35So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:42And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:46If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:56Mom, Daniel.
00:01:57What's going on?
00:02:03What's going on?
00:02:05Honey!
00:02:06I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:11If the paparazzi catch him next to you...
00:02:13But I need to go. I have an appointment with your child.
00:02:19Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:20Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, then I will be free.
00:02:31Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:33Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:37I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw it. Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:53I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No! I want to eat now!
00:03:13Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:25I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:30Ew, what is this?
00:03:32It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:34I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:39You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:42But I want that!
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:01I gave it everything I had.
00:04:04But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:06And myself as a wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough. Enough. Just enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:14I want a divorce.
00:04:22I want a divorce.
00:04:28Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:31I want a divorce.
00:04:36I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:44Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:52Seriously, their only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:57What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:06It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:09Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:12Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:18And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:22Yeah, you get it.
00:05:25Mwah!
00:05:26Love you.
00:05:26I've devoted myself to this family for 10 long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:34Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:44The movie is Greenland and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:47We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, mom.
00:06:08How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:09I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:19I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:21But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:25I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done.
00:06:29But it's time you lived your life.
00:06:33I am, mom.
00:06:35And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42You are wonderful, dear.
00:06:44You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:06Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:07:09and is stealing it back again.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:23All right, cut.
00:07:25That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:28We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:34I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:38Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:45Coming up.
00:07:45Please, by the time, let me move what we saw.
00:07:50We the Mrs.
00:07:58We'll be back.
00:07:58We'll be back.
00:08:02We'll be back.
00:08:09We'll be back.
00:08:10You destroyed me.
00:08:18I have something left.
00:08:21Maria, vote!
00:08:35Stay back.
00:08:37I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:43Just...
00:08:46Just 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.
00:09:15I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:22I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:30Good to see you.
00:09:31Good to see you.
00:09:32Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:33Oh, two long.
00:09:34Look at you!
00:09:35Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:39Of course, babe.
00:09:40Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:41Are you kidding?
00:09:42Oh, Daniel.
00:09:43Uh, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit.
00:09:45But you don't mind, right?
00:09:46Oh, there he is!
00:09:47The assistant!
00:09:48I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:50God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:51Stop!
00:09:52I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:57Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:58Daniel!
00:09:59Oh!
00:10:00Don't embarrass me.
00:10:01No, it's fine.
00:10:02I'm sorry.

00:19:17Don't look at me like that.
00:19:19I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:22Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:28He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, Matt.
00:19:37I've had every opportunity to sleep with her, and it happened.
00:19:41You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're the same problem.
00:19:46I need you to write down.
00:19:47Alright.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:59I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him. He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:09Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:16Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:28That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:40God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:47Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:50No, it's not like that. I...
00:20:54What?
00:20:56You know what? Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:02Daniel, I...
00:21:14And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:18Um...
00:21:19I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:33I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:42I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:00If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:03I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:19Look at her now.
00:22:21Playing house for another man.
00:22:23If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:33There he is.
00:22:35God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m. Man.
00:22:37No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:40Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:42Hmm.
00:22:44I've got some.
00:22:46Yeah.
00:22:48What do you need? Oh, oh.
00:22:50Yeah, there you go.
00:22:52I don't need some of this shit.
00:22:54I don't need some of this shit.
00:22:56I don't need some of this shit.
00:22:58I don't need some of this shit.
00:23:00I don't need some of this shit.
00:23:02I don't need some of this shit.
00:23:03But I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:12Hey, 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?
00:23:22Why 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!
00:23:36That's a shame, huh?
00:23:37You know what?
00:23:38Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:39Here we go.
00:23:40Ooh!
00:23:41No!
00:23:42No!
00:23:43Not to play with them!
00:23:44You never let me do anything!
00:23:45Come on.
00:23:46It's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:47You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:48It's not about the money.
00:23:49It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:50Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:51Yeah?
00:23:52What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:53Make it?
00:23:54No!
00:23:55It's not about the money.
00:23:56And it's unfair!
00:23:57It's not fair!
00:23:58That's a shame, huh?
00:23:59You know what?
00:24:00Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:24:01Here we go.
00:24:02Oooooh!
00:24:03It's just a fish tank Daniel because he can afford an aquarium. It's not about the money
00:24:09It's about him learning how to respect living things
00:24:12Unfortunately, he's surrounded by
00:24:14bad examples
00:24:15Yeah, what's that supposed to mean?
00:24:18You're so annoying
00:24:21Don't push
00:24:23I said don't push go get a book or something. Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man surgeon like you. What the hell is he just showing me?
00:24:40Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants. He's not your kid
00:24:44I wish I was. I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever. I hate seeing your stupid face
00:24:53I mean, you just heard your son
00:24:55So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:57Maybe it will be but until then I'm still the man of the house
00:25:02You?
00:25:04Man of the house, please. You're a pussy in an apron. I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid much less a dad or a husband
00:25:11You're washed a pack. Still riding on all your old headlines. How were 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? A star that needs his ex to bring it back into the spotlight
00:25:25Jackson, come on. I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore
00:25:28No, I'm not going! Preston is way cooler than you. Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:51You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:08Daniel! What is happening?
00:26:11It was Dad, Mom! Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:15What?!
00:26:16You're so serious!
00:26:17That'd be pretty good, babe.
00:26:19What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:21I just wanted to hang out with Jackson. I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:23What? I didn't?
00:26:24Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you? You'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! Grow up! Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What? Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:44Maybe I should go, I'm sorry
00:26:46No! Oh my God!
00:26:49He's lying!
00:26:51You're a monster!
00:26:52And in front of your son? You 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, clean this up!
00:27:05Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again
00:27:10She's mine now, loser!
00:27:16Hello, segment one, what's your emergency?
00:27:24Really now? I think I hit an RV. I need an ambulance now.
00:27:28Now!
00:27:39You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with a liquid.
00:27:44To be honest, that's, I could use a break from home.
00:27:48Trouble with the missus?
00:27:51Uh, yeah. It's pretty obvious.
00:27:55Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:03Preston Eastwood. True love story, holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:09I've been obsessed with them since breaking the eyes.
00:28:13You said, um, a couple?
00:28:15I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:28:20She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted. She was so sweet.
00:28:25You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:33No, it's... it's a small wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:41Daniel!
00:28:41Sweet and caring. So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:53Fuck you!
00:28:58Fuck you!
00:29:01I'm gonna get my shit in, y'all.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me. You once liked my short film.
00:29:08I have a strip I've been sitting on.
00:29:09It needs the right producer. I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:25Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling. I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:31Huh?
00:29:35What? I've been busy. I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:38Seriously? Why does it always have to come back to him? I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:47Yeah. That's what you want to call it?
00:29:50I... I just... I'm sorry. I...
00:29:55Bringing 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. You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:13And I think you should go for it. I 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.
00:30:21Seriously. I... I care about you.
00:30:32I don't know that.
00:30:32I've known you for 14 years. I 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 wants to her. A headline. A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what? I hate fighting. So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:04I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:31:12I gave that to you three years ago. You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:17Well, yeah. The first 10 pages, but they're good. The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this. Me and you. The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:31I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:44Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:47There 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.
00:32:04I 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, if I had a lot of experience making it for you, 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.
00:32:34You are mad that I brought Preston back here. I 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.
00:32:48It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel. No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:04Just leave it.
00:33:06I just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:10And what? It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:16You know what? Forget it. I heard from here.
00:33:20Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:37What?
00:33:37Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah, ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:41Not quite. That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's MTA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby. Remember that.
00:33:52I'll text you the address of where's Mimi.
00:33:54I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please. She's always been so secretive.
00:34:11I 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, wow. If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:27The pot. Come here.
00:34:32Jackson! We were just talking about your mom. Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood. He's been staying with us.
00:34:42Oh, really? Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so. I really hope so. He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:54Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:07What are you doing here? You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:14Get lost. You embarrass us.
00:35:16Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:24Is there a problem?
00:35:27Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:36If that was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad. You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and head 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.
00:36:01That's the kind of story the press would devour. It doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:11This was all I stopped, was it? You were revolting. No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey, how are you watching now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh yeah? What lesson is that Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:40Tom!
00:36:56What the hell? What happened? Oh my god, Daniel! What the hell happened? Daniel, you're bleeding. Are you okay?
00:37:09Look at her go. Hollywood's finest. Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:14It's Daniel. He's a monster. He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy! Dad came in here and started shouting at me. No. No, that's not true.
00:37:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters. Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:36Daniel. Is that true?
00:37:41Sabrina. Oh! Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs. I think one of them is broken.
00:37:49Sabrina. Honey. We need to help Preston.
00:37:56But Daniel.
00:37:59Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:13Mommy, please. We can't leave him.
00:38:15Listen. I... I have... I have to help Preston.
00:38:34Come on, Jack.
00:38:35Come on, Jack.
00:38:41Daniel!
00:38:43I got you.
00:38:44No, let me go.
00:38:46She's made her choice. There's no going back. We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:55Well, 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.
00:39:15Get out of Hollywood. In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:21If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it. Just try.
00:39:43I used to make for her approval. Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:02I'm going to call a doctor.
00:40:14What are you doing? I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:17So what are you doing?
00:40:27Well, I've always wanted to.
00:40:29Come on. I know you want this. I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32How that Daniel's gone. We have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I could finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:39What am I doing? Daniel is still injured. He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Listen, get off.
00:41:10What? Babe, we can finally come on.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:15What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:20I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:23I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy. I mean, come on. Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:32Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:35Look, he's already moved on.
00:41:41No. What have I done? Where is he?
00:41:45What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance 10 years ago. I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:53Hello? Excuse me. Excuse me.
00:42:02Hi. Have you seen my husband? Please, here was someone bleeding out.
00:42:06Um, I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:11He didn't come back in though.
00:42:17Content, where are you?
00:42:18Daniel. I'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. Answer me.
00:42:39He's not gone. I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:58He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:01No. No.
00:43:06It's not possible. He will be back.
00:43:11No.
00:43:11Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson. The waves all spousal support.
00:43:30No. No, he can't leave me. He can't do this to me. I won't sign off on him.
00:43:35Come on.
00:43:37All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:43:50It can't be.
00:44:05It can't be.
00:44:09It's not her.
00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me. He loves Jackson.
00:44:18He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years, everything we've been through.
00:44:25I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go.
00:44:50Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:59No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? He's not panicked.
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. We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:16Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:23I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:34I'm hungry! Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:40Jackson?
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! He's gone! He's gone!
00:45:58Why would you say that?
00:46:00He was so embarrassing. Even 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.
00:46:15He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone. Mr. Eastwood is way cooler. He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson, you have a dad. And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:46:51No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I 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? He's not the man you think he is. Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you,
00:47:08is out there. And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:13What kind of coward abandons his family, huh? It's despicable.
00:47:17I can't do this anymore. I'll cancel everything. The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:24I don't want to be seen. I can't pretend. I just want him back.
00:47:31Oh, honey. It's time to let him go. You don't love him anyway.
00:47:37And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:44What? How could you say something like that? Of course I love Daniel. He cares for me. He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody. Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband. Abandoning you without a moment's notice. Wanting nothing to do with this
00:48:09child just because I contrahanded? Contract? What contract?
00:48:18What are you talking about? Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me? Please. I just want the truth. Mom.
00:48:37Fine. I will tell you the truth. But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina. But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:55When Preston left you, you were distraught. I had to save you. She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:04You've always been there for her. From film school to now. I've seen it.
00:49:10She needs you. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she's never alone again.
00:49:16It was all just some sort of obligation? How could you do this to me? I wanted to protect you.
00:49:31You wanted to control me. All 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. Daniel did what he was meant to do. He kept you together.
00:49:49Where? Where did he go? I know he told you where he went. Where is he?
00:49:56You can do better than him. You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet. Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No. He can't be gone. He can't. Yes. He is gone and he is gone forever. He can't be. He can't be gone. He can't.
00:50:17He can't be. He can't be. He can't be. He can't be. He can't be. He can't be. He can't be.
00:50:35I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of Howl, the team of Silver Fox that's already generated a considerable
00:50:40buzz for his new writer-director. Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:51Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. What's going through
00:50:56your head tonight? Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own feet. Nobody told me how.
00:51:03Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be. I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:07Uh, yeah. Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making and I've been very honest about it,
00:51:15actually. I almost, I almost gave up the dream. But London, London lit the fire under me and I feel
00:51:21like I found my voice and it really is full steam ahead. Speaking of London, since you're an American
00:51:28rights director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:30Hollywood. Get out of the country. If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:51:41I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:43Daniel?
00:52:01He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him. Daniel is a true auteur and a pretty genius
00:52:09and it was a privilege to be his leading lady. That's not a light compliment coming from Emily
00:52:14Blake, two-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. We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh my God, thanks for saving me. She was practically eye-fucking you. I know,
00:52:34Oh, jeez. This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:52:39I can. The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel, enjoy this and get used to compliments. There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck. Finish me out of it. I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:55You okay? You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01Yeah, if it's, um, I'll have it.
00:53:04Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:08I don't know. Somebody's just got a headshot.
00:53:23I think our press is good press.
00:53:25Daniel becomes an award-winning director and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch.
00:53:38You can't do this to me.
00:53:40Sabrina, you don't need him.
00:53:42You're gonna have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can you move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:48Please, honey. He is using her.
00:53:52Why 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, I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:04He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:54:11A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, and he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:28Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:33Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:35Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:37He's your dad.
00:54:38No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:46When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:03Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom 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.
00:55:22And 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.
00:55:33Hey, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:36Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:39You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:52That's really, really low.
00:55:55Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:13Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:23It's not like that.
00:56:24Okay, look, 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?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:39Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh wait.
00:56:43What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:45You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Come on.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:03We're over.
00:57:03What?
00:57:04No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please.
00:57:06Please, I love you.
00:57:07Just, just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:10If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey, just.
00:57:17Now.
00:57:17Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody 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.
00:57:31He truly knew me.
00:57:36He loved me.
00:57:38Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:47Saved me?
00:57:49You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:52Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:54And he saved me from you.
00:57:57Security!
00:57:58Security!
00:58:00Security!
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:01Just let's talk about this.
00:58:02No.
00:58:03Come on.
00:58:04Come on.
00:58:05Celeste, do something!
00:58:07Sabrina!
00:58:07Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:08Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:09Sabrina!
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?
00:58:21God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:33I love you.
00:58:35Then prove it.
00:58:36If you ever want me in front of the camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:40You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:58In 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.
00:59:19The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:59:22That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest, I already did LA.
00:59:27It didn't really end well.
00:59:28Let me guess, my girl?
00:59:30If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:35You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:38You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:42You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:44Three picture deal.
00:59:45200 million dollar budget each.
00:59:47Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:49I don't know what to say.
00:59:50Just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:57You can't run away from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:05Hey, 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.
01:00:22It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:26Is this a personal story?
01:00:29Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:31Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:36Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:41You arrogant little shit.
01:00:43I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:53It's Les Donovan.
01:00:54I need a favor.
01:00:55I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:01:02It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom, what 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.
01:01:20Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:26He's back.
01:01:26Why 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.
01:01:46He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:50I just need to talk to him.
01:01:54Let him go.
01:01:57Mom.
01:01:59Honey, I...
01:02:02You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:05I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:07I love you.
01:02:12I love you too.
01:02:18This is, um, it's another movie deal.
01:02:21I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks, 8 p.m.
01:02:42After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:48He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:03:00She's not protecting me.
01:03:02She's protecting her business.
01:03:03And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:06But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:08It's so nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:14Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:03:16A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:22If you can even call them that.
01:03:23But you'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 loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:32The marriage, the kids.
01:03:34I mean, we really tried.
01:03:36I thought I could make it go for it.
01:03:37But, um, it's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:42I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:54Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:57She dumped him.
01:03:59He was all over People magazine.
01:04:00She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:02Oh, my God, it was.
01:04:11Daniel!
01:04:15Stop!
01:04:15Sabrina, 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?
01:04:31How could you?
01:04:32What?
01:04:32I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:37I begged and pleaded.
01:04:38Stop lying.
01:04:40I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:44And I'll bet you called the paparazzi too to catch him drugged out of his mind and 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, scheming snake?
01:05:00I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:05:03I'm your mother.
01:05:06I only want what's best for you.
01:05:08What's best for me?
01:05:12You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:17That all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:24Fired.
01:05:26No.
01:05:29No.
01:05:33You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:38I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:39You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:45I 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 than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:53I made you.
01:05:55You'd be nothing without me.
01:06:00I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:03We're done here, Mom.
01:06:10If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:17Without another word.
01:06:18I have something to say.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:36I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:44I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:53Apologize to your father.
01:06:55Do I have to?
01:06:56Jackson.
01:06:57Who raised you?
01:07:00Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:06Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:10He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:12But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:15I was wrong.
01:07:16Jackson.
01:07:17He gave us 10 years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:21And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:25I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:30It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:32I love you.
01:07:34Okay.
01:07:35Come on, Jackson.
01:07:36Let's go.
01:07:43I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:46For everything.
01:07:55I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of going back to them.
01:08:03I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:05They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:09They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:15People can change, but that doesn't change the past.
01:08:20And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:35Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
01:08:41I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:47But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:51I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:09:01Way to go, John!
01:09:20Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:23We'll keep in touch.
01:09:24How many more do we have today?
01:09:3240, sir.
01:09:33Jeez.
01:09:34Hey, boy!
01:09:35How are we looking?
01:09:36How are we looking at it?
01:09:37You're still digging?
01:09:37You're still digging?
01:09:38Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:42I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:45All right, here's Theo.
01:09:46The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:49Today?
01:09:51Are you fucking cute?
01:09:53That's why I love you, man.
01:09:54Cool under pressure.
01:09:55This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:09:58All right, just bring the next one.
01:10:03The next one.
01:10:04Ah!
01:10:04But that would be Emily Blake.
01:10:10Emily.
01:10:15Emily.
01:10:17Amazing, as always.
01:10:19You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:22Please.
01:10:23I wasn't gonna miss a shot to audition for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:28How's L.A. treating you?
01:10:31Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:33But I am...
01:10:36I'm glad to be back.
01:10:37Well, it's no English 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.
01:10:50Playing the part.
01:10:52British starlet.
01:10:53American director.
01:10:56I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:00Waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:03I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:06It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:11:09You were amazing, as always.
01:11:12It's just...
01:11:15It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:18I never was, was I?
01:11:20Anyways.
01:11:22I've got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:25Maybe I'll see you around?
01:11:26Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:41Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:44And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:46Oh, my God.
01:11:53What am I gonna 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.
01:12:21I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:25I'm starting fresh.
01:12:27Right, um...
01:12:31Hi.
01:12:32I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:12:37Don't let me go!
01:12:38I got you.
01:12:39I'll never let you go.
01:12:43Are you okay?
01:12:44Yeah.
01:12:45It's an old wound that, um, never really healed.
01:12:51I understand.
01:12:56Daniel Johnson.
