00:07:21our future's ahead of us
00:07:24if only she didn't fall for hollywood's golden
00:07:29ass
00:07:42You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:03There's nothing left.
00:08:12Sabrina, don't!
00:08:21Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:23Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:42No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:49Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:57I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:00Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:06And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:10Good to see ya!
00:09:17Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, too long.
00:09:20Look at you!
00:09:21Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:25Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:26And thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:28Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:32Oh, there he is!
00:09:34The assistant!
00:09:35I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:39How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:44Stop!
00:09:45I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:51Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:54Daniel!
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:56Don't embarrass me.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58Whoa!
00:09:59You played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:02He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:06My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:08He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:10Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:13What do you say, huh?
00:10:14Yeah.
00:10:15Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:18That's fine.
00:10:19That's fine.
00:10:20Just relax, okay?
00:10:21Be nice.
00:10:22Some people never change.
00:10:35But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:10:40again.
00:10:41Yeah.
00:10:42It's nice.
00:10:43But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:10:46Oh, careful.
00:10:47You alright?
00:10:48I'm still starving.
00:10:49Make me some food.
00:10:50Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:06Ew.
00:11:07What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:08I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:11Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:14I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21What?
00:11:22For real?
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:24My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:27Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:29I'm rich.
00:11:31Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:34I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:39See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:40You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:42You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:44They were so dull.
00:11:45Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:48Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:57My treat.
00:11:58Here we go.
00:11:59What?
00:12:00Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:03All of you insist.
00:12:04I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06Okay.
00:12:07Oh.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:09Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:12:14Anyways.
00:12:15Come on, Ben.
00:12:16Let's go.
00:12:17That's great.
00:12:18Gotcha.
00:12:19There we go.
00:12:20Oh.
00:12:21There's Paps.
00:12:23You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:25Last time.
00:12:26I promise.
00:12:28You're right.
00:12:30It is the last time.
00:12:33Hey, guys.
00:12:35Hi.
00:12:36Jackson.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:43Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:47Contract's fine.
00:12:50It's over.
00:12:51Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:55I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:12:58After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:02Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:03She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:12Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:13I could scream.
00:13:14I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:15Preston Eastwood.
00:13:16I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.
00:13:18OMG.
00:13:19OMG.
00:13:20I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:22A scene that I wrote.
00:13:23Uncredited, of course.
00:13:24Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:25Wait.
00:13:26Are you two dating?
00:13:27Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:29All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:30Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:13:31You're not alone.
00:13:32I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:33Preston Eastwood.
00:13:34I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.
00:13:36OMG.
00:13:37I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:39A scene that I wrote.
00:13:40Uncredited, of course.
00:13:41Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:44Wait.
00:13:45Are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:49All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:57Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:13:59You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:01Your brand?
00:14:02It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:05You get it, right?
00:14:14So, you two are a thing?
00:14:16Well, I...
00:14:17Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:18We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:29This is so going viral.
00:14:30I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:32It looks like more than dating.
00:14:34Are...
00:14:35Is this your son?
00:14:36I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:38Don't be silly.
00:14:39You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:42That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:44He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:47But Preston is awesome.
00:14:50He's an action spy.
00:14:52I wish he was my dad.
00:14:53My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:57But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party with a call girl.
00:15:03It's okay, buddy.
00:15:04Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:06If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:09That is if mom's school with it.
00:15:11Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:13Daniel, he...
00:15:14You know, he's...
00:15:15Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:19Come on.
00:15:20Let's give him a show.
00:15:22Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:42I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:44Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:49Daniel!
00:15:52You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:55From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:58Daniel, he's here?
00:16:00He...
00:16:01Did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:03Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:04I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:05I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:07Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:08Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:12Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:14Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:16Jackson, enough.
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:20Well, that's it then.
00:16:22Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:24I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:30You're really good at that.
00:16:32Ooh!
00:16:33I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:36A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:42I 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.
00:16:50Daniel loves me. He has to understand. This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:16:55Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:04Daniel, what is this?
00:17:07I can't let her create a public scene. All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:14Honey!
00:17:15Oh, what a coincidence. We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation. Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:21A vacation?
00:17:23Finally. You're paying attention.
00:17:25Yeah. I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:17:28Well, thanks for telling your wife. What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:32Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:34That's not what I meant.
00:17:35Whoa! Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:38That's fine. Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit. Just like any good husband would.
00:17:43Oh, I see. Is it me? Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:49I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:51I 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.
00:17:56No, please stay. I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:01No, you know what? I'll go. And clearly she wants you. I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:07Daniel, wait.
00:18:09I won't ever let you go.
00:18:11He won't leave. He promised. It doesn't have to be like this. We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:18I'm gonna go back.
00:18:23Daniel!
00:18:27Please. We're better than yours. Yeah.
00:18:31Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:33Oh, oh.
00:18:35Oh, good. You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:42It's fun.
00:18:43What? Don't look at me like that. I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:48Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:53How lucky for him. He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:57Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:01Listen, Matt, I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened. You can trust me.
00:19:09President, I think you're a good cop. You need to go right now.
00:19:14Alright.
00:19:17Daniel, seriously, listen, man. When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:25I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:19:28Just ignore him. He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:31No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:34Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:36Jealous?
00:19:38My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:42Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:46You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:53That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:19:59Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:04Oh my God. God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:10Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:14No, it's not like that. I...
00:20:17What?
00:20:18You know what? Fine.
00:20:20You two look great together.
00:20:24Daniel, I...
00:20:26And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:41Um...
00:20:45I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:51Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:55I was never the homemaker.
00:20:59Please, Daniel.
00:21:03Please, Daniel.
00:21:16I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:20If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:26I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:29Look at her now.
00:21:42Playing house for another man.
00:21:44If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:49There he is.
00:22:07God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:10Man.
00:22:11No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:13Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:15I got some.
00:22:18Yeah.
00:22:19What do you need?
00:22:20Oh, oh.
00:22:21Yeah, there you go.
00:22:22I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:24I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:25Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:27Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:33Hey, uh...
00:22:34You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:38You're not?
00:22:39A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:41Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:44It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:00What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:02Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:03I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:07And it's unfair!
00:23:08That's a shame, huh?
00:23:09You know what?
00:23:10Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:11Here we go.
00:23:13Ooh!
00:23:14No, it's not to play with them!
00:23:18You never let me do anything!
00:23:21Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:24You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:26It's not about the money.
00:23:27It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:30Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:33Yeah?
00:23:34What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:35You're so annoying!
00:23:36Don't push!
00:23:37I said, don't push.
00:23:38Go get a book or something.
00:23:39Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:40He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:23:41God, what the hell?
00:23:42Just shut up.
00:23:43Call it a lesson.
00:23:44I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:23:45He's not your kid.
00:23:46I wish I was!
00:23:47I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:23:48I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:23:49Ouch!
00:23:50I mean, you just heard your son, so why don't you make this little vacay of yours, Hermon?
00:23:51Maybe it will be, but until then, I'm still the man in the house.
00:23:55You?!
00:23:56Man of the house?
00:23:57Please.
00:23:58You're a pussy in an apron.
00:23:59I don't know if you can't just be a man.
00:24:02Just shut up.
00:24:03Yeah?
00:24:04You're a puss-a-man-man, you're not an arme!
00:24:05That's okay.
00:24:06I'm not an arme-man.
00:24:07Don't you guys have an arme.
00:24:08They're not an arme-man, you're not an arme-man.
00:24:10I do not want to be a man.
00:24:11Yeah!
00:24:12I am an arme-man!
00:24:13I do not want to be a kid at all.
00:24:14I do not want to be an arme-man.
00:24:15Well, I'll be a man.
00:24:16He's a gud-man.
00:24:17Just shut up, me.
00:24:18I do not want to be a girl.
00:24:19to be a girl.
00:24:20You? Man 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.
00:24:29You're a washed up cat, still riding on all your old headlines. How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:35I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:37I'm a fucking star!
00:24:38A star? A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:43Jackson, come on. I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:46No, I'm not going! Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:49Preston! Preston! Preston!
00:25:14You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:18What was that?
00:25:19Daniel! What is happening?
00:25:28It was Dad, Mom! Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:32What?
00:25:32You're so scared!
00:25:33You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:35What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:36I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:38I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:39What? I didn't?
00:25:40Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you? You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:44I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:48It's just a fucking fish tank! Grow up!
00:25:51Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:53What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:55What? Everyone knows you precious Preston attacked me?
00:25:58Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:01No! Oh my God!
00:26:04He's lying!
00:26:06You're a monster!
00:26:08And in front of your son?
00:26:09You have to be kidding!
00:26:11We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:13Sure.
00:26:14We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:16Come on.
00:26:17Clean this up!
00:26:18Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:25She's mine now, loser.
00:26:35Hello, 911. What's your emergency?
00:26:38I'm bleeding out.
00:26:39I think I hit an artery.
00:26:41I need an ambulance now.
00:26:42Now.
00:26:43Now.
00:26:53You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:26:57with liquids.
00:26:59To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:05Uh...
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07It's pretty obvious.
00:27:09Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:12I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:22I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:26You said, um, couple?
00:27:28I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official!
00:27:33She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:37She was so sweet.
00:27:43Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:46No, it's...
00:27:47It's an old wound.
00:27:50I tore it, actually, um...
00:27:52Ten years ago.
00:27:53Daniel!
00:27:55Sweet and caring.
00:27:58So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:01He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:03and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:11Fuck it.
00:28:13I'm gonna go get my shit in, y'all.
00:28:16Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:18You once liked my short film.
00:28:20I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:21And...
00:28:22It needs the right producer.
00:28:31I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:36Where have you been?
00:28:38I kept calling.
00:28:39I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:41Huh?
00:28:46What?
00:28:47I've been busy.
00:28:48Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:51Seriously?
00:28:52Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:54I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:58Yeah.
00:28:59That's what you want to call it?
00:29:00I...
00:29:01I...
00:29:02I just...
00:29:04I'm sorry.
00:29:06I...
00:29:06Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:13It is what it is.
00:29:15But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:19You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:23And I think you should go for it.
00:29:25I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:27But, I just...
00:29:30I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:35Seriously.
00:29:36I...
00:29:36I care about you.
00:29:42I'm not bad.
00:29:44I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:46I know when you're angry.
00:29:47Really?
00:29:48I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:50I pay attention?
00:29:52Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:54She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:58That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:00A headline.
00:30:01A performance.
00:30:04Sabrina.
00:30:08Sabrina, I'm gonna...
00:30:09You know what?
00:30:10I hate fighting.
00:30:11So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:14I was thinking...
00:30:16We could revisit your script.
00:30:18I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:23You're telling me you finally read it?
00:30:26Well, yeah.
00:30:27The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:30The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:33I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:35Me and you.
00:30:36The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:39I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:41A long time ago.
00:30:45Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:30:48and for the next hour,
00:30:50we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:52Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:55There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:58I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:01Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:03Bye.
00:31:11I don't know what you do,
00:31:20but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:31:23and it was awful.
00:31:26Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you.
00:31:28I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:30That's not what I meant.
00:31:32I like it when you make it.
00:31:36I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:40I knew it.
00:31:41You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:44I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:48God, it's not like our marriage
00:31:50is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:53Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:56It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:58No, Daniel.
00:31:59No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:07Look what you made me do.
00:32:08Just leave it.
00:32:11I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:16And what?
00:32:17It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:19I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:21And look what I get for it.
00:32:23You know what?
00:32:24Forget it.
00:32:25I have a premiere.
00:32:26Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:28What?
00:32:43Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:46Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:47Not quite.
00:32:48That was the divorce contract.
00:32:50But if you want a clean break,
00:32:51we need to finalize your entertainment contract
00:32:53and our family's NDA.
00:32:54This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:56Remember that.
00:32:57I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:32:59I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood
00:33:12into her trailer on set.
00:33:14Oh, please.
00:33:15She's always been so secretive.
00:33:17I mean, this is her movie premiere,
00:33:19and where is her husband?
00:33:21Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:23I read somewhere that he was just
00:33:25a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:29Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:32Come here.
00:33:33Oh.
00:33:36Jackson!
00:33:38We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:40Do you know where she is?
00:33:41Or who she's with?
00:33:43She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:45He's been staying with us.
00:33:46Oh.
00:33:47Really?
00:33:49Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:52Oh, I hope so.
00:33:53I really hope so.
00:33:54He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:33:58Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:01Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:10What are you doing here?
00:34:11You never come to these things.
00:34:13Oh, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:15Get lost.
00:34:18You embarrass us.
00:34:19Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:21I'm your father.
00:34:22I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:24Is there a problem?
00:34:32Oh, my God.
00:34:34That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:39If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:42I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:43You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:45Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:46You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:52I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:53That's not what I see.
00:34:55You showed up uninvited in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:02That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:07It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:09And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:14This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:16You were revolting.
00:35:18No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:20Hey.
00:35:22Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:24Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:27Yeah.
00:35:28Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:29Oh, yeah?
00:35:30What lesson is that, Preston?
00:35:32You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:37Hmm.
00:35:41Oh!
00:35:58The hell?
00:35:59What happened?
00:36:02Oh, my God!
00:36:03Daniel!
00:36:04What the hell happened?
00:36:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:08Are you okay?
00:36:09Look at her go.
00:36:11Hollywood's finest.
00:36:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:15It's Daniel.
00:36:16He's a monster.
00:36:18He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:21Mommy!
00:36:21Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:24No.
00:36:25No, that's not true.
00:36:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:31Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:33Daniel.
00:36:34Daniel.
00:36:36Is that true?
00:36:40Sabrina.
00:36:42Oh!
00:36:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:46I think one of them's broken.
00:36:48Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:36:54But, but Daniel.
00:36:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:01Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:14I have to help Preston.
00:37:18Come on, Jackson.
00:37:39Daniel!
00:37:40I got you.
00:37:42Don't let me go!
00:37:44She's made her choice.
00:37:46There's no going back.
00:37:47We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:59Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:04Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:06I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:08There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:13Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:14In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:18If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:38:22I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:24Don't worry about it.
00:38:25Don't worry about it.
00:38:39Just drive.
00:38:40I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:56Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:00Seriously?
00:39:02Just lay down.
00:39:03I know.
00:39:04Why is it down?
00:39:04I'm going to go call the doctor, okay?
00:39:10What are you doing?
00:39:11I thought you were hurt.
00:39:12I think I'll pull through.
00:39:13Listen, what are you doing?
00:39:22I don't know what I've always wanted to.
00:39:24Come on.
00:39:25I know you want this.
00:39:26I see the way you look at me.
00:39:28And now that Daniel's gone,
00:39:30we have the house to ourself.
00:39:31I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:34What am I doing?
00:39:45Daniel is still injured.
00:39:47He should be home.
00:39:51Sabrina?
00:39:52Preston, get off.
00:40:04What?
00:40:06Babe, we can finally come here.
00:40:07I said get off.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:11No, forget about him.
00:40:13Look, I love Jackson,
00:40:16and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:40:18I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:40:22I mean, come on.
00:40:23Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:40:25Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:28What?
00:40:29Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:33No.
00:40:34No.
00:40:35What have I done?
00:40:37Where is he?
00:40:38What about me?
00:40:40You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:40:42I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:51Hello?
00:40:52Excuse me.
00:40:54Excuse me.
00:40:55Hi.
00:40:55Have you seen my husband?
00:40:58Please.
00:40:58He was someone bleeding out.
00:41:00I saw him stumble outside holding his head
00:41:02after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:04He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:05Oh, no.
00:41:09Oh, Daniel, where are you?
00:41:11I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach
00:41:14is no longer in service.
00:41:15Please try again later.
00:41:17What have I done?
00:41:29Come on, Daniel.
00:41:31Answer me.
00:41:37He's not gone.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:49He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:54No.
00:41:54It's not possible.
00:41:59He will be back.
00:42:02No.
00:42:03Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:16Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:18The waves all spousal support.
00:42:20No, no, he can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me.
00:42:25I won't sign off on him.
00:42:36No.
00:42:36All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:42:41It can't be.
00:42:59It's not a...
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:43:01My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:03He loves me.
00:43:06He loves Jackson.
00:43:07He wouldn't just leave us.
00:43:10We're his family.
00:43:11After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:43:16I got you.
00:43:38Don't let me go.
00:43:41Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:46Daniel?
00:43:48No, it's Mom.
00:43:49Is everything okay?
00:43:50You sound panicked.
00:43:51Mom.
00:43:53Mom.
00:43:55Daniel.
00:43:56He just left us.
00:43:59Do you know where he is?
00:44:00We have to find him.
00:44:02We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:04Oh, honey.
00:44:06It's over.
00:44:08Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:10You knew?
00:44:11I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:14I'm hungry.
00:44:14I'm hungry.
00:44:23Dad!
00:44:24Dad!
00:44:24Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:28I have something to tell you.
00:44:34Your dad.
00:44:35Dad.
00:44:36Your dad?
00:44:38He's left us.
00:44:41I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:44Yay!
00:44:45He's gone!
00:44:45He's gone!
00:44:46He's gone!
00:44:47Why would you say that?
00:44:48He was so embarrassing.
00:44:50Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:52Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:53What did Preston say?
00:44:55He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets than raising a young man.
00:45:02He was so lame and boring.
00:45:04Now he's gone.
00:45:06Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:45:08He can be my new dad.
00:45:10Jackson, you have a dad and he's cared for you for seven years.
00:45:15Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:23Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:26Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:30I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:32Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37No, but I'm not surprised.
00:45:40Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:45Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:49Okay? He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:52Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:56And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:59What kind of coward abandons his family? It's despicable.
00:46:04I can't do this anymore.
00:46:07I can't cancel everything. The interviews and the red carpets. I don't want to be seen. I can't pretend. I just want him back.
00:46:17Oh, honey. It's time to let him go.
00:46:21You don't love him anyway. And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:26What?
00:46:30How 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.
00:46:42But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:46Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.
00:46:49Yeah, some husband. Abandoning you without a moment's notice. Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:46:56Contract?
00:46:58What contract?
00:46:59What are you talking about?
00:47:04Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:09When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:14Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:16Please. I just want the truth.
00:47:19Mom.
00:47:21Fine.
00:47:23I will tell you the truth.
00:47:25But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:29I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:33But know it was all for your own good.
00:47:39When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:42I had to save you.
00:47:44She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:46You've always been there for her.
00:47:49From film school to now.
00:47:51I've seen it.
00:47:53She needs you.
00:47:54Stay.
00:47:55Marry her.
00:47:56Love her.
00:47:58So that she's never alone again.
00:48:06It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:10How could you do this to me?
00:48:12I wanted to protect you.
00:48:14You wanted to control me.
00:48:16All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:19Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:24You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:28Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:30He kept you together.
00:48:32Where?
00:48:33Where did he go?
00:48:35I know he told you where he went.
00:48:37Where is he?
00:48:38You can do better than him.
00:48:39You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:44Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:46No!
00:48:47He can't be gone!
00:48:48He can't!
00:48:49Yes!
00:48:50He is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:48:53He can't be!
00:48:54He can't be gone!
00:48:55He can't!
00:48:56He can't be!
00:48:58He's gone!
00:48:59I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame the Silver Fox
00:49:19that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:25Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:29Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:35What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:38Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:41Nobody told me how.
00:49:43Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:46I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:48Yeah, my career has been a long time in the making and I've been very honest about it actually.
00:49:55I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:57But London, London lit the fire under me and I feel like I've found my voice and it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American rights director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:12Hollywood.
00:50:13Get out of the country.
00:50:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:50:22Daniel?
00:50:40He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:43Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:51That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:03We'll never tell.
00:51:07Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:51:09She was practically I fucking you.
00:51:11I know.
00:51:12Jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal.
00:51:14I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:16I can.
00:51:17The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:22Daniel.
00:51:23Enjoy this.
00:51:25And get used to compliments.
00:51:27There's already ask of us.
00:51:29Fuck.
00:51:30Finish me, I know.
00:51:31I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:35You okay?
00:51:36You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:38Of course.
00:51:39I know.
00:51:40It's, um, old habit.
00:51:41Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:51:45Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:47I know.
00:51:48Our press is good press.
00:51:49Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:51:54bitch?
00:51:55Grrrr.
00:51:56He can't!
00:51:57He can't do this to me!
00:51:58Sabrina, you don't need him!
00:52:00Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:01How can you move on with that uptight British bitch?
00:52:02Move on?
00:52:03Daniel becomes an award-winning director
00:52:09and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:14He can't do this to me!
00:52:16Sabrina, you don't need him.
00:52:19Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:21How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:24Move on?
00:52:25Please, honey.
00:52:26He is using her.
00:52:29Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:31He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:34How could you say that?
00:52:36I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:39He's proving that to the whole world!
00:52:42Don't you see it?
00:52:43Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:52:46A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:52:51Well, and he's not whining.
00:52:53And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:52:57You have everything.
00:52:58I don't have him.
00:53:01Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:03Go have the chef make something.
00:53:04No, I hate what she cooks.
00:53:06And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:08Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:10Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:12He's your dad.
00:53:13No!
00:53:13Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:15Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:19It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:21When did he get so cruel?
00:53:23You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:26A doormat.
00:53:28Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:31Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:32Enough!
00:53:33You little shit!
00:53:36Enough!
00:53:37Just enough!
00:53:38Sabrina?
00:53:39What's gotten into you?
00:53:41Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:44Whoa.
00:53:46What's going on here?
00:53:47This room feels really tense.
00:53:49Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:51I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:53No!
00:53:53I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:56And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:59It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:54:02Hey, babe, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:11Really?
00:54:12Loser?
00:54:13Yeah.
00:54:13You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:17And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:26That's really, really low.
00:54:28Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:33Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:54:35To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:38Face it, Preston.
00:54:40You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:43And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:45Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:47You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:50I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:52Because you know what?
00:54:54Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:55It's not like that, okay?
00:54:57Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:00I want to marry you.
00:55:01We're a legacy.
00:55:02Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:04What's my birthday?
00:55:06Huh?
00:55:06What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:08What's my favorite color?
00:55:10My favorite song?
00:55:11Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:13Oh, oh wait.
00:55:14What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:16You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:19You don't love me.
00:55:20You don't even know me.
00:55:22This isn't a relationship.
00:55:24This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:27And you know what?
00:55:27I'm done.
00:55:29Get out.
00:55:30I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:34We're over.
00:55:36No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:37Please.
00:55:38Please, I love you.
00:55:39Just think about it.
00:55:40Think of the press.
00:55:41What this will look like?
00:55:42If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:47Get out.
00:55:48Babe, just...
00:55:48Now.
00:55:49Just give me your hand.
00:55:50Come on.
00:55:50No.
00:55:51I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:55Nobody sees the real me.
00:55:56I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:58I see all of you.
00:56:01And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:03He truly knew me.
00:56:07He loved me.
00:56:09Every flaw.
00:56:11Every fear.
00:56:12Contract or not.
00:56:14He truly loved me.
00:56:16I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:18Saved me?
00:56:19I mean, you don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:23Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:25And he saved me from you.
00:56:28Security!
00:56:30Security!
00:56:31Come on.
00:56:32Just let's talk about this.
00:56:33No.
00:56:34Just...
00:56:34Come on.
00:56:35Celeste, do something!
00:56:37Sabrina!
00:56:38Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:40Was that really necessary?
00:56:42I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:46Is that all you care about?
00:56:47The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:56:51God!
00:56:52You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:57Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:00Of course I care about you.
00:57:02I love you.
00:57:04Then prove it.
00:57:06If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:10You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:24I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:27In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:32I mean, you know this.
00:57:34You're a legend.
00:57:35Appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:36All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:38You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:41I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:43I got projects.
00:57:44Come on!
00:57:45You're built for billion dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets
00:57:49made in L.A., not London.
00:57:50That's where you belong.
00:57:53To be honest, I already did all.
00:57:54It didn't really end well.
00:57:56Let me guess.
00:57:57My girl?
00:57:58If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:04You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:07You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:11You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:12Three picture deal.
00:58:13Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:58:15Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:17I don't know what to say.
00:58:18Just say yes.
00:58:19You have my number.
00:58:21Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:22Just remember, Daniel, you can't run away from the past.
00:58:26You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:39Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:42Can we talk?
00:58:44Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:48Of course.
00:58:49It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart.
00:58:52And comes out on top.
00:58:54Is this a personal story?
00:58:56Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:59Oh...
00:59:00She knows who she is.
00:59:03Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:07You arrogant little shit.
00:59:10I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:19It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:20I need a favor.
00:59:22I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:28It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:32Mom?
00:59:33What are you doing?
00:59:34Did you just break my TV?
00:59:39Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:43You know, I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:45You've been so kind, though.
00:59:46Um, it's called...
00:59:48You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:51He's back.
00:59:53Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:56Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:58I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:01I need to get on that movie.
01:00:03Absolutely not.
01:00:04You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:06If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:09Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:11He still loves me.
01:00:14He has to.
01:00:16I just need to talk to him.
01:00:19Let him go.
01:00:23Mom.
01:00:23Honey, I...
01:00:26You know, I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:30I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:34I love you.
01:00:36I love you, too.
01:00:40Here we go.
01:00:43This is, um...
01:00:44It's another movie deal.
01:00:45I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:47Okay.
01:00:53Did you get his location?
01:01:04The Oaks.
01:01:058 p.m.
01:01:07After I'm done with him,
01:01:09Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:12He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:23She's not protecting me.
01:01:25She's protecting her business.
01:01:27And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:29But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:33So nice having you back.
01:01:36And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:38Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:01:40A couple?
01:01:41Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:45If you can even call them that.
01:01:47But you're healthy now.
01:01:48And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:50I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:01:52I love Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:55The marriage, the kids.
01:01:57I mean, we really tried.
01:01:59I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:02:02It's over.
01:02:04It's over.
01:02:05I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks
01:02:07Preston Eastwood can offer.
01:02:16Oh.
01:02:17You haven't heard?
01:02:19She dumped him.
01:02:20It was all over People Magazine.
01:02:23She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:26Oh my God.
01:02:27What?
01:02:33Daniel!
01:02:36Stop!
01:02:37Stop!
01:02:45Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:46I'm here to help you.
01:02:48Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:02:51Let's go home.
01:02:52Sabrina?
01:02:53How could you?
01:02:54What?
01:02:54I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:58I begged and pleaded.
01:03:00Stop lying.
01:03:01I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:06And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:11My God.
01:03:12You're disgusting.
01:03:13I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:15Not anymore.
01:03:16Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:21I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:24I'm your mother.
01:03:26I only want what's best for you.
01:03:29What's best for me?
01:03:30You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:37That all ends today.
01:03:41You're fired.
01:03:44Fired.
01:03:46No.
01:03:49No.
01:03:53No.
01:03:54You can't do this to me.
01:03:56Please.
01:03:57Please, sweetie.
01:03:58I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:59You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:04I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:07You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:10There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:13I made you.
01:04:15You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:16I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:27We're done here, Mom.
01:04:29If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:36Without another word.
01:04:38I have something to say.
01:04:52I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:55I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:58I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:02I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:11Apologize to your father.
01:05:13Do I have to?
01:05:14Who raised you?
01:05:18Cared for you?
01:05:20Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:24Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:28He did.
01:05:29He loved you.
01:05:30But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:32I was wrong.
01:05:34Jackson.
01:05:34He gave us ten years of his life, and we abused it.
01:05:39And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:43I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:47It's gonna be okay, son.
01:05:49I just gonna love you.
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:52Come on, Jackson.
01:05:53Let's go.
01:06:00I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:03For everything.
01:06:04I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:15You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:17Oh.
01:06:20I just didn't know it'd be this hard.
01:06:22They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:25They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:32People can change.
01:06:33But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:40And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:49That's awesome.
01:06:50Here, Daniel.
01:06:51Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:57I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:03But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:04Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:16Way to go, Jan!
01:07:17Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:38We'll keep in touch.
01:07:45How many more do we have today?
01:07:4740, sir.
01:07:48Jeez.
01:07:49Hey, boy!
01:07:50How are we looking?
01:07:51We're still digging.
01:07:52Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:55I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:59All right, here's the deal.
01:08:00The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:04Today?
01:08:05Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:07That's why I love you, man.
01:08:08Cool under pressure.
01:08:09This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:15Oh, my God.
01:08:16All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:18But that would be...
01:08:20Emily Blake.
01:08:24Emily.
01:08:25Amazing, as always.
01:08:32You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:35Please.
01:08:36I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:41How's LA treating you?
01:08:42Oh, my God.
01:08:44Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:46But I am...
01:08:48I'm glad to be back.
01:08:50Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:52Yeah.
01:08:52But it suits you.
01:08:54You definitely belong here.
01:08:59I do miss you, though.
01:09:02It was fun.
01:09:03Playing the part.
01:09:05British starlet.
01:09:06American director.
01:09:07I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:11I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:16I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:18Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:21You...
01:09:21You were amazing, as always.
01:09:24It's just...
01:09:25It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:30I never was, was I?
01:09:32Anyways...
01:09:33Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:37Maybe I'll see you around.
01:09:39Yeah.
01:09:51Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:52Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:54And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:03Oh, my God.
01:10:04What am I going to do?
01:10:11That was quick.
01:10:12What are you doing here?
01:10:25I came to audition.
01:10:29Did you bring any representation?
01:10:31No.
01:10:32I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:36I'm starting fresh.
01:10:38Right, um...
01:10:39Hi.
01:10:42I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:47Don't let me go!
01:10:48I got you.
01:10:49I'll never let you go.
01:10:53Are you okay?
01:10:54Yeah.
01:10:55It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:58Never really healed.
01:11:01I understand.
01:11:05Daniel Johnson.
01:11:08Nice to meet you.
01:11:09Please.
01:11:20Whenever you're ready.
