00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:07That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:33Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:44Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son. But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:22You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:54What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:18Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:25Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw it. Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:49Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:51But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:03:05Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:08He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please.
00:03:11I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:16I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I know...
00:03:22Ew, what is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:31You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them.
00:03:36Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:51I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:58And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough. Just enough.
00:04:05I want a divorce.
00:04:13I want a divorce.
00:04:19Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:21Huh?
00:04:23I want a...
00:04:27I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:30Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously?
00:04:43Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:46I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:49What is this?
00:04:50Another contract?
00:04:52How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:55It's not a...
00:04:56Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:59Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:02Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:05I have that red carpet event coming up and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:10Pull my weight?
00:05:11Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Mwah!
00:05:15Love you.
00:05:16I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:20If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:23Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:33The movie's greenlit and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:36We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:38I can't.
00:05:38My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:41After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:49At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:52I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:56Hey, Mom. How you doing?
00:05:57Oh, good, dear.
00:05:59I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:03Do you need more?
00:06:04No, no, no, no. You've already done so much.
00:06:07I'm just trying to help.
00:06:08I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:13Nikki, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:21I am, Mom.
00:06:22And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:30That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:34Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:36I gotta go. Love you.
00:06:38What is it, Mom?
00:06:42Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:47Come on.
00:06:47Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:01Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:04All right, cut.
00:07:09All right, cut.
00:07:11That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:14We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:18Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:20I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:21Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:25If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:31We got her.
00:07:56You've destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:05There's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:21Stay back.
00:08:23I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina, don't.
00:08:26Don't do this.
00:08:29Just...
00:08:29Just give me your hand.
00:08:44No!
00:08:46Daniel!
00:08:47I got you.
00:08:49No!
00:08:50Don't let me go!
00:08:52I won't ever let you go.
00:08:53I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:02Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:05I see all of you.
00:09:08And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:09Good to see you.
00:09:18Oh, my gosh.
00:09:20How long has it been?
00:09:20Oh, too long.
00:09:21What's you?
00:09:23Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:26Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:27Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:29Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel.
00:09:31Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:34Oh, there he is.
00:09:35The assistant.
00:09:37I'll tell you what.
00:09:37There's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:40How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:45Stop.
00:09:46I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:52Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:56Daniel.
00:09:56Oh.
00:09:57Don't embarrass me.
00:09:58No, it's fine.
00:09:59Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:04He's not just tough.
00:10:05He's Brett Stale tough.
00:10:07You think, you know?
00:10:08My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:10He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:12Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:15What are you saying, huh?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:21It's fine.
00:10:22It's fine.
00:10:24Just relax, okay?
00:10:25Be nice.
00:10:35Some people never change.
00:10:37But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:43Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:45But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:48Oh.
00:10:55Oh, careful.
00:10:57You all right?
00:11:00I'm still starving.
00:11:02Make me some food.
00:11:03Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:06Stew?
00:11:06Oh, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:10I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:13Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:16I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:22Oh, babe, for real?
00:11:24Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:29Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:31I'm rich.
00:11:32Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:36I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:40See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:42You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:44You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:45They were so dull.
00:11:47Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:50Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:54So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:58My treat.
00:12:00Here we go.
00:12:00What?
00:12:01Yeah.
00:12:02Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:03I don't mind.
00:12:04All of you insist.
00:12:06I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:07Oh.
00:12:07So.
00:12:09Okay.
00:12:11Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code, so.
00:12:15Anyways.
00:12:16Come on, Ben, let's go.
00:12:19Looks great.
00:12:19I got you.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21Oh.
00:12:23There's Paps.
00:12:25You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:27Last time.
00:12:28I promise.
00:12:30You're right.
00:12:32It is the last time.
00:12:35Hey, guys.
00:12:37Hi.
00:12:39Jackson.
00:12:45Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:51It's over.
00:12:53Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:57I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:01After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:03Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:21Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:23She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:29Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:30I could scream.
00:13:31I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:33Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.
00:13:37Oh, gee.
00:13:37I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:40A scene that I wrote.
00:13:42Uncredited, of course.
00:13:43Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:45Wait.
00:13:46Are you two dating?
00:13:47Oh, well, actually.
00:13:48This is totally a date.
00:13:51All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:58Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:01You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:03Your brand?
00:14:03It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:06You get it, right?
00:14:16So, you two are a thing?
00:14:18Well, I...
00:14:19It's okay, babe.
00:14:20We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:30This is so going viral.
00:14:32I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:33It looks like more than dating.
00:14:36Is this your son?
00:14:37I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:40Don't be silly.
00:14:41You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:44That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:46He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:49But Preston is awesome.
00:14:52He's an action spy.
00:14:53I wish he was my dad.
00:14:55My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:59But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:05It's okay, buddy.
00:15:06Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:08If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:11That is if mom's school with it.
00:15:13Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:15Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:17Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:21Come on.
00:15:22Let's give him a show.
00:15:23Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:43I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:46Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:52Daniel!
00:15:54You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:56From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:00Daniel, he's here?
00:16:02Did he see us?
00:16:03Is he looking over here?
00:16:04Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:05I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:07I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:09Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:10Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:14Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:16Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:18Jackson, enough.
00:16:20What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then.
00:16:24Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:26I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:29I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:32You're really good at that.
00:16:34Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:38A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I 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.
00:16:52Daniel loves me.
00:16:53He has to understand.
00:16:54This is Hollywood.
00:16:55It's just part of the job.
00:16:58Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:05Daniel, what is this?
00:17:06I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:10All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:13Are you going somewhere?
00:17:16Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:18We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:22Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:23A vacation?
00:17:24Finally.
00:17:25You're paying attention.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:30Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:32What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:34Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:35That's not what I meant.
00:17:36Whoa.
00:17:37Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:40It's fine.
00:17:41Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:43Just like any good husband would.
00:17:45Oh, I see.
00:17:47Is it me?
00:17:48Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:50I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:52I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:54You know what?
00:17:55Maybe I should go.
00:17:56I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:58No, please stay.
00:17:59I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:03No, you know what?
00:18:04I'll go.
00:18:05And clearly she wants you.
00:18:07I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:08Daniel, wait.
00:18:11I won't ever let you go.
00:18:13He won't leave.
00:18:14He promised.
00:18:15It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:18We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:20I'm going to go back.
00:18:25Daniel!
00:18:25Daniel!
00:18:28Please.
00:18:29It's been some years.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:32Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:35Oh!
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:37You're up.
00:18:39Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:18:44It's fun.
00:18:46Why don't look at me like that?
00:18:47I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:50Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:54Well, but not lucky for him.
00:18:56He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:59Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:03Listen, man.
00:19:04I...
00:19:04I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:09You can trust me.
00:19:11Preston, I think you're too drunk.
00:19:14You need to go right now.
00:19:15All right.
00:19:17Oh, hey.
00:19:18Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:20I...
00:19:21I...
00:19:21When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:26I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:30Just ignore him.
00:19:31He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:32No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:36Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:38Jealous?
00:19:38My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:43Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:48You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:55That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:00Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:06My God.
00:20:07God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:12Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:16No, it's not like that.
00:20:18I...
00:20:19What?
00:20:21You know what?
00:20:22Fine.
00:20:25You two look great together.
00:20:27Daniel, I...
00:20:28And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:43I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:55Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:59I was never the homemaker.
00:21:05Please, Daniel.
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:07Daniel?
00:21:07Daniel?
00:21:07Daniel?
00:21:08Daniel?
00:21:09Daniel?
00:21:09Daniel?
00:21:10Daniel?
00:21:10Daniel?
00:21:11Daniel?
00:21:12I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:22If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:28I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:31Look at her now, playing house for another man.
00:21:46If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:50There he is.
00:21:52I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:21:58No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:03Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:04I got some.
00:22:05Yeah.
00:22:06What do you need?
00:22:07Oh, oh.
00:22:08Yeah, there you go.
00:22:09I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'll like it.
00:22:12Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:14Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:16Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:22If not, a grown man that needs a babysitter, why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:49It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:02What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:04Mr. Eastwood! I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:09And it's unfair!
00:23:10That's a shame, huh? You know what? Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:13Here we go.
00:23:15Ooh!
00:23:16No, it's not to play with them.
00:23:20You never let me do anything!
00:23:23Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel. You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:28It's not about the money. It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:32Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:36Yeah? What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:39You're so annoying!
00:23:41Don't push.
00:23:46I said don't push. Go get a book or something.
00:23:50Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:52He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:23:55God, what the hell is you just showing me?
00:23:57Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:03He's not your kid.
00:24:04I wish I was! I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever! I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:11Ouch! I mean, you just heard your son. So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:17Maybe it will be. But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:21Who? You? 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.
00:24:29And you're a washed up hack! Still riding on all your old headlines. How were your latest box office numbers, huh? I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:24:37I'm a fucking star!
00:24:39A star? A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight. Jackson, come on. I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:47No, I'm not going! Preston's way cooler than you! Preston! Preston! Preston!
00:24:55You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood. What was that?
00:25:23Daniel! What is happening?
00:25:29It was Dad, Mom! Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:33What? You're so scared! You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:35What the hell, Daniel? I just wanted to hang out with Jackson. I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:40What? I didn't?
00:25:41Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you? You're acting like a jealous child. I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me. It's just a fucking fish tank! Grow up!
00:25:51Remember we're in the public eye? What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:56What? Everyone knows you precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:00Maybe I should go. I'm sorry.
00:26:02No! Oh my God!
00:26:04He's lying!
00:26:06You're a monster!
00:26:08And in front of your son? You have to be kidding!
00:26:12We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:14Yeah.
00:26:15We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:18Come on. Clean this up!
00:26:21Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:25Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:26:37Hello, 9-1-1. What's your emergency?
00:26:39I'm bleeding out. I think I hit an artery. I need an ambulance now. Now.
00:26:44You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.
00:26:59To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:05Uh... yeah. 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.
00:27:17With Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:23I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:26You said, um, a couple?
00:27:29I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:27:34She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:38She was so sweet.
00:27:44Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:47No, it's... it's an old wound.
00:27:51I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:54Daniel!
00:27:56Sweet and caring.
00:27:59So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:02He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:04And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:12Fuck it.
00:28:14Need to get my shit in, y'all.
00:28:17Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:19You once liked my short film.
00:28:21I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:31It needs the right producer.
00:28:32I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:37Where have you been?
00:28:39I kept calling.
00:28:40I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:43Huh?
00:28:44What?
00:28:48I've been busy.
00:28:49Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:52Seriously?
00:28:53Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:55I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:00That's what you want to call it?
00:29:02I...
00:29:03I just...
00:29:05I'm sorry.
00:29:06I...
00:29:07Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:10It is what it is.
00:29:15But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:20You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:24And I think you should go for it.
00:29:26I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:29But...
00:29:30I just...
00:29:31I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:33Seriously.
00:29:37I...
00:29:38I care about you.
00:29:43I love it.
00:29:45I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:47I know when you're angry.
00:29:49Really? I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:51I pay attention?
00:29:54Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:56She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:59That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:00A headline.
00:30:02A performance.
00:30:05Sabrina.
00:30:09Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:10You know what?
00:30:11I hate fighting.
00:30:12So...
00:30:13Let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:15I was thinking...
00:30:17We could...
00:30:18Revisit your script.
00:30:22I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:24You telling me you finally read it?
00:30:27Well, yeah.
00:30:28The first ten pages.
00:30:29But...
00:30:30They're good.
00:30:31The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:34I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:36Me and you.
00:30:37The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:41I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:45A long time ago.
00:30:47Well...
00:30:48How about you make us some lattes?
00:30:49And for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:53Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:56There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:59I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:02Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:04What?
00:31:05I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:31:27Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:31That's not what I meant.
00:31:33I like it when you make it.
00:31:36I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:40I knew it.
00:31:43You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:45I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:49God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:54Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:57It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:59No, Daniel.
00:32:01No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:02Look what you made me do.
00:32:09Just...
00:32:11Just leave it.
00:32:13I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:16And what?
00:32:18It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:20I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:22And look what I get for it.
00:32:24You know what?
00:32:26Forget it.
00:32:27I have a premiere.
00:32:28Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:32What?
00:32:44Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:47Yeah. Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:48Not quite. That was the divorce contract.
00:32:51But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:32:56This is showbiz, baby. Remember that.
00:32:58I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:02I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:15Oh, please. She's always been so secretive.
00:33:18I mean, this is her movie premiere and where is her husband?
00:33:22Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:23I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:30Oh, well. If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:33Come here.
00:33:37Jackson! We were just talking about your mom. Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?
00:33:44She's with Mr. Eastwood. He's been staying with us.
00:33:47Oh. Really?
00:33:49Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:53Oh, I hope so. I really hope so. He'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.
00:34:11What are you doing here? You never come to these things.
00:34:14Well, that's gotta be the husband.
00:34:18Get lost. You embarrass us.
00:34:20Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.
00:34:23I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:24Is there a problem?
00:34:33Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flap over Preston?
00:34:40If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:42I wish Preston was my dad. You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:46Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:48You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:51I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:54That's not what I see.
00:34:56You showed up uninvited.
00:34:58In street rags.
00:35:00Abused Sabrina's kid and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:04That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:08Doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.
00:35:10And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:15This was all a stunt was, huh?
00:35:17You were revolting.
00:35:19No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:21Hey.
00:35:23Why don't you watch her now?
00:35:25Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:28Yeah. Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:31Oh, yeah? What lesson is that, Preston?
00:35:33You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:37Hmm.
00:35:38What the hell? What happened?
00:35:39Oh, my God. Daniel. What the hell happened? Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:35:43Are you okay?
00:35:44Look at her go. Hollywood's finest.
00:35:45Oh, my God. Daniel. What the hell happened? Daniel, you're bleeding. Are you okay?
00:35:58Look at her go. Hollywood's finest. Always performing when there's an audience.
00:35:59It's Daniel. He's a monster. He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:03Mommy, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:04Oh, no. No, that's not true.
00:36:05If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:06Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:07Hmm.
00:36:08Hmm.
00:36:09I don't know. What the hell happened?
00:36:10Is that what happened? Daniel, you're bleeding. Are you okay?
00:36:11Look at her go. Hollywood's finest. Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:16It's Daniel. He's a monster. He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:21Mommy, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:25No, no. That's not true.
00:36:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:34Hmm.
00:36:35Daniel, is that true?
00:36:40Sabrina.
00:36:42Oh!
00:36:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs. I think one of them is broken.
00:36:49Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:36:54But Daniel, imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:05Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:14I... I have... I have to help Preston.
00:37:19Come on, Jackson.
00:37:20Daniel!
00:37:21I got you.
00:37:22Don't let me go!
00:37:24She's made her choice. There's no going back.
00:37:25We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:29I think her way.
00:37:30All this is so...
00:37:31I am alone.
