00:08:33Sabrina! Don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:42Just...
00:08:44Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:01Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:04No! Don't let me go!
00:09:07I won't ever let you go.
00:09:12I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:21I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:25Good to see ya!
00:09:35Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:37Look at you!
00:09:39Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:43Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:46Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:50Oh, there he is!
00:09:52The assistant!
00:09:53I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:57How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:02Stop!
00:10:03I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel!
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:15No, it's fine.
00:10:16Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here will be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:33What are you saying, huh?
00:10:34Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:53Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:11:14Ooh, careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:25Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:32Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:42Well, babe, for real?
00:11:44Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:48Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:50I'm rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:56I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:04You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:05They were so dull.
00:12:07Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:15So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21What to do?
00:12:22Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:26I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28So, okay.
00:12:31Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:36So, anyways.
00:12:37Come on, let's go.
00:12:40Let's go.
00:12:40Let's go.
00:12:40Let's go.
00:12:41Let's go.
00:12:41Let's go.
00:12:41Here we go.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:44There's Paps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:49I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:53It is the last time.
00:12:56You guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:00Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract sign.
00:13:13It's over.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is there 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:44Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:49Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:14:03The scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:10Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:13All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:24You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:27Your brand?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:30You get it, right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:55This is so going viral.
00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:58It looks like more than dating.
00:15:01Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:06You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:09That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:10He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:14But Preston is awesome.
00:15:17He's an action spy.
00:15:18I wish he was my dad.
00:15:21My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:15:26when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty
00:15:29with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:31Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:33If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:36That is, if mom's schooled it.
00:15:39Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:40Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on.
00:15:48Let's go, Michelle.
00:15:48Now, that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top,
00:16:14and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:16Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23On the sound of it,
00:16:24your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:27Daniel, he's here.
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:31Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:32I was just doing that for policy.
00:16:34I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:16:39Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:41Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:46What do I do?
00:16:49Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53I need to leverage your relationship with Preston,
00:16:55with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:00You're really good at that.
00:17:02Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:05A one-way ticket so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over,
00:17:13but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:17I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:22This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:24Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:33Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:44Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:47We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:52A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:55Yeah.
00:17:57I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09It's fine.
00:18:10Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:13Just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look how you see.
00:18:17Is it me?
00:18:18Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:24You know what?
00:18:25Maybe I should go.
00:18:26I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:29I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:33No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:37Going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:41I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:51I'm going to go back.
00:18:52Daniel!
00:19:00Let them here.
00:19:01This is...
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:03Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:19:05Oh, good.
00:19:08You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:15It was fun.
00:19:17Why don't look at me like that?
00:19:18I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:20Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:30Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:34Listen, Matt.
00:19:35I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:40You can trust me.
00:19:41Uh, Preston, I think you're at the same time.
00:19:46You need to go right now.
00:19:47Alright.
00:19:48Oh, hey.
00:19:50Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:52I, I...
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:58I, I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:08Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:10Jealous?
00:20:11My 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.
00:20:27That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:33Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:39My God.
00:20:41God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:50No, it's not like that.
00:20:52I, I, I, what?
00:20:54You know what, fine.
00:20:59You two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:02And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:17Um...
00:21:17I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:32I was never the homemaker.
00:21:36I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:57If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:03I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:06Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:26There he is.
00:22:45God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:48Man.
00:22:49No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:53You got some.
00:22:58What do you mean?
00:22:59Oh, oh.
00:23:00Yeah, there you go.
00:23:01I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:23:03I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:04Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:06Bulking 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 me last night, right?
00:23:18No.
00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:20Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:27It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:40What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:42Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:43I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:47And it's unfair!
00:23:48That's a shame, huh?
00:23:49You know what?
00:23:50Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:53Ooh.
00:23:55No!
00:23:57Not to play with that.
00:23:59You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:08It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:24:13bad examples.
00:24:15Yeah?
00:24:15What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:17You're so annoying!
00:24:18You're so annoying!
00:24:20Don't push.
00:24:27I said don't push.
00:24:28Go get a book or something.
00:24:29Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:31He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-serving like you.
00:24:35God, what the hell is you just shot me?
00:24:40Call it a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching a kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:42He's not!
00:24:43You're a kid.
00:24:44I wish I was.
00:24:46I hope Mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:51Ouch.
00:24:52I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:24:54So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:56Come on.
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:01You?
00:25:03Man of the house?
00:25:04Please.
00:25:05You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:10And you're washed a pack, still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:14How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:16I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star!
00:25:20A star?
00:25:21A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:25Jackson, come on.
00:25:26I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:28No, I'm not going.
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:40You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:08Daniel!
00:26:09What is happening?
00:26:11It was Dad, Mom.
00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:15What?
00:26:15I'm so scared.
00:26:16That would be pretty good, baby.
00:26:18What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:21I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:22What?
00:26:23I didn't?
00:26:24Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:28I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:33Bro, I'm up.
00:26:34Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What?
00:26:39Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:43Maybe I should go.
00:26:44I'm sorry.
00:26:45No.
00:26:46Oh, my God.
00:26:48He's lying.
00:26:50You're a monster.
00:26:52And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding.
00:26:55We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57Sure.
00:26:57We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:02Clean this up.
00:27:05Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:07Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:27:20Hello, Techman 1.
00:27:21What's your emergency?
00:27:23I'm bleeding out.
00:27:24I think I hit an hour.
00:27:26I need an ambulance now.
00:27:28Now.
00:27:28You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:27:43with liquid.
00:27:44To be honest, that's a good use of right from home.
00:27:47Trouble with the missus?
00:27:49Uh, yeah.
00:27:53It's pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:03We see Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:08I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:12You said, um, a couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:28:19She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:29Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:32No, it's...
00:28:34It's my wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Daniel!
00:28:42Sweet and caring.
00:28:45So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.
00:28:47But he only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:50And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:58Fuck it.
00:29:00I'm gonna get my shit and go.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:07I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:09It needs the right producer.
00:29:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:24Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:29It's so...
00:29:30Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:35I've been busy.
00:29:36Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:39Seriously?
00:29:40Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:49I...
00:29:49I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry.
00:29:54I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what it is.
00:30:04But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:12And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:16But, I just...
00:30:19I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:25I...
00:30:26I care about you.
00:30:31I love it.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:35I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:44She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever wants to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:04I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:31:11I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah.
00:31:17The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:20The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:25Me and you.
00:31:26The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:28I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:31:39and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:43Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:52Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55I don't know what you do,
00:32:12but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:32:15and it was awful.
00:32:18Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:32:20and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:23I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:32I knew it.
00:32:34You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:49It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:52No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:02Just leave it.
00:33:05I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:09And what?
00:33:10It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:14And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I have a mirror.
00:33:20Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:21What?
00:33:37Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:40Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:41Not quite.
00:33:42That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:50Remember that.
00:33:51I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:53I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:10She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I 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.
00:34:22Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:33We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is?
00:34:37Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:40He's been staying with us.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:44Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:54Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:00What are you doing here?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:13Get lost!
00:35:14You embarrass us!
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:20Is there a problem?
00:35:29Oh, my God.
00:35:31That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:36If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:40You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:43You should probably listen to your kid and pat out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:52You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:00That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all stuff, wasn't it?
00:36:14You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:20How do you watch her now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh, yeah?
00:36:28What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:30You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:39Oh!
00:36:40What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:01Oh, my God!
00:37:02Daniel!
00:37:02What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:07Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:17He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy!
00:37:21Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:31Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel.
00:37:37Is that true?
00:37:40Sabrina.
00:37:41Yeah, I think he got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them is broken.
00:37:49Sabrina.
00:37:50Honey.
00:37:51We need to help Preston.
00:37:54But Daniel.
00:37:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:01Mommy, please.
00:38:14We can't leave him.
00:38:15I...
00:38:16I have...
00:38:18I have to help Preston.
00:38:19I...

00:38:41Daniel!
00:38:42I got you.
00:38:43Then let me go!
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:47There's no going back.
