Short filmTranscript
00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:10That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:30I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:42You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:48Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:00I'll always love my son.
00:01:03But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:08You didn't still worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:26You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her.
00:01:35So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:42And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:56Mom. Daniel.
00:01:57What's going on?
00:02:03What's going on?
00:02:04Honey.
00:02:06I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:11If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.
00:02:14But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:19Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:20Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:30Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:32Ugh. Can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:47I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:53I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No! I want to eat now!
00:03:12Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:24I've got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:29Ew! What is this?
00:03:32It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:33I don't want healthy food.
00:03:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:36Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:38You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:42But I want that!
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:00I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:05And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:18I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:24Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:44Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:46Seriously, we're the only job to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:06It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:09Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:12Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:21Yeah, you get it.
00:05:24Mwah! Love you.
00:05:27I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:37The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:47We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After all, I've sacrificed.
00:05:54My scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:59At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, Mom.
00:06:07How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:10I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:18I'm just trying to help.
00:06:19I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24Mickey, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, Mom.
00:06:34And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42You're wonderful, dear.
00:06:43You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:47I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, Mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:06Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:17All right, cut.
00:07:25That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:37Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:39If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:45We got our first call.
00:08:09What?
00:08:10You've destroyed me.
00:08:18Rest in...
00:08:20Just let them live.
00:08:33Maria!
00:08:35Don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this. Just... Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:05No! Don't let me go!
00:09:08I won't ever let you go.
00:09:14I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:21I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:34Good to see you!
00:09:35Oh my gosh, I love you.
00:09:36Who is it then?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:40Oh, 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?
00:09:51Oh, there he is!
00:09:53The assistant!
00:09:54I'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 she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:09Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel!
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:16No, it's fine.
00:10:17Whoa, 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.
00:10:30Now that I'm here, we'll 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.
00:10:41It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:45Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:59when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:07Oh, I'm careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:23Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:27Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets.
00:11:32If 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.
00:11:42Oh, babe, for real?
00:11:44Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics, I'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.
00:12:00Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:03You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:06They were so dull.
00:12:07Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything.
00:12:11Lucky for you, Uncle Preston's 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?
00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12:25No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed, so...
00:12:28Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code, so...
00:12:37Anyways!
00:12:38Come on, Ben, let's go!
00:12:40That's great.
00:12:41Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:44There's caps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:50I promise.
00:12:50You're right.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:54It is the last time.
00:12:57Guys?
00:12:59Hi!
00:13:00Jackson.
00:13:07Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract sign.
00:13:14It's okay.
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.
00:13:23After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:44Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:47She 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.
00:14:00Oh, gee, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:14:04A scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually...
00:14:12This 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?
00:14:25You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:27Your brand?
00:14:27It'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.
00:15:11He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:14But Preston is awesome.
00:15:17He's an action spy.
00:15:19I wish he was my dad.
00:15:22My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants
00:15:27when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty
00:15:29with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:33If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if Mom's cool with it.
00:15:39Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:41Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on.
00:15:48Let's get Michelle.
00:16:03Now, that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:10I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top,
00:16:14and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23And the sound of it,
00:16:25your 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?
00:16:31Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:33I was just doing that for Lucy.
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.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:50Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,
00:16:55with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:59You're really good at that.
00:17:02Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket,
00:17:08so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over,
00:17:14but 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.
00:17:23This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:25Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, 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?
00:17:45Honey,
00:17:46oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:47We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:53A vacation?
00:17:54Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:58I'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.
00:18:11Daniel'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.
00:18:25You 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.
00:18:38I'm willing 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...
00:18:50I'm going to go back.
00:18:55Daniel!
00:19:00Let them here.
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:06Oh!
00:19:06Oh, good.
00:19:08You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:15It's fun.
00:19:17Well, don't look at me like that.
00:19:19I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:22Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:25Well, I'm lucky for him.
00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, man.
00:19:36I...
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and...
00:19:39I don't think it happened.
00:19:40You can trust me.
00:19:43Oh, Preston, I think you're...
00:19:45Mm-hmm.
00:19:45You need to go right now.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:49Oh, my...
00:19:50Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:52I...
00:19:53I...
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:58I'm gonna 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.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:12Yeah.
00:20:12My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:16Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:28That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:40Oh, my God.
00:20:41God, you're up.
00:20:42Unbelievable.
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...
00:20:53What?
00:20:55You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59The 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...
00:21:18I 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 was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:41I 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?
00:22:04I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:06Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:23If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:26There he is.
00:22:46I 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.
00:22:53I've got some.
00:22:59What do you need?
00:22:59Oh, oh.
00:23:00Yeah, there you go.
00:23:02I'm not going to need some of this shit, but...
00:23:03I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:12Hey, uh...
00:23:14You're not pissed off that your wife had a date of Karen last night, right?
00:23:18No.
00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:21Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:27It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:31What's going on, Jackson?
00:23:42Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:44I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:47And it's unfair!
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:50Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:54Ooh!
00:23:55No!
00:23:55Not to play with them!
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.
00:24:09It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:24:13bad examples.
00:24:15Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:18You're so annoying!
00:24:20Don't push.
00:24:27I said don't push.
00:24:29Go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-server.
00:24:34What the hell is he just showing me?
00:24:40I called a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching a kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:43He's not your 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.
00:24:52Ouch.
00:24:52I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:54So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
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 maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed apart.
00:25:12Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:14How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:17I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star!
00:25:21A star?
00:25:22A 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!
00:25:42You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:06Daniel!
00:26:09Daniel!
00:26:10What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:16What?
00:26:16You're so scared!
00:26:17That 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.
00:26:23What?
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.
00:26:34Bro, I'm up.
00:26:35Remember we're 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 press that attacked me?
00:26:43Maybe I should go on.
00:26:45I'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.
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:59We'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.

00:27:39You 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...
00:27:46use a break from home trouble with the missus uh yeah pretty obvious most married folks that
00:27:56come in here are miserable i shouldn't be saying this but sabrina donovan was here
00:28:03with preston eastwood true love story holding hands wiping tears i've been obsessed with them
00:28:10since breaking the eyes you said um a couple i wasn't sure but i checked the visitation logs and
00:28:18it's official she even helped me reposition preston when his iv was twisted she was so sweet
00:28:30need us to check on that shoulder for you no it's small wound i tore it actually um 10 years ago
00:28:41daniel sweet and caring so preston's found the wi-fi i always wanted
00:28:48he only had to break her heart to get it and left me to pick up the pieces

00:29:04mr lee i don't know if you remember me you once liked my short film i have a script i've been sitting on

00:29:47yeah that's what you want to call it i i just i'm sorry i
00:29:54i bringing preston into our home was probably crossing the line
00:30:02it is what it is but i mean you know how the industry works you even just hint at a relationship
00:30:10and it stirs up all this publicity and i think you should go for it i mean you always do what's best

00:31:35a long time ago well how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour
00:31:42ourselves into the script just like we used to in film school there was a time when this would have

00:45:16Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry!
00:45:36Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:39Taxi?
00:45:40I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:49Your dad.
00:45:51He's left us.
00:45:54I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:45:58Why would you say that?
00:46:01He was so embarrassing!
00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:08He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:46:10should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:46:11and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone!
00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson!
00:46:24You have a dad!
00:46:25And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large thumbs have been wired
00:46:46to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:55I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:12What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:17I can't do this anymore.
00:47:20I'll cancel everything.
00:47:22The interviews, the red carpets.
00:47:24I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:29I just want him back.
00:47:32Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:47:36You don't love him anyway.
00:47:37And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:41How could you say something like that?
00:47:47Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:51He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:01Daniel's my husband.
00:48:02And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with his child just because a contract ended?
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:18What are you talking about?
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Forget it.
00:48:23Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:25When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please, I just want the truth.
00:48:35Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:38I will tell you the truth.
00:48:41But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:49But know it was all for your own good.
00:48:55When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:58I had to save you.
00:49:00She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:04You've always been there for her.
00:49:06From film school to now.
00:49:08I've seen it.
00:49:10She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:15So that she's never alone again.
00:49:16It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:26How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:31You wanted to control me.
00:49:32All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:37You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:46Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you where he went.
00:49:55Where is he?
00:49:56You can do better than him.
00:49:58You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:50:00Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No, he can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't.
00:50:07Yes, he is gone and he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone.
00:50:13He can't.
00:50:34I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of Howl, the team of Silver Fox that's already
00:50:39generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:44Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:50Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:58Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:51:00Nobody told me how.
00:51:03Oh, man.
00:51:03How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:06I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:08Uh, yeah.
00:51:10God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:13And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:17But London?
00:51:19London lit the fire under me.
00:51:21And I feel like I found my voice.
00:51:22And it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director,
00:51:28will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:35Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:51:41I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius.
00:52:09And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:12That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:52:15two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress
00:52:17and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:21Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh my God, thanks for saving me.
00:52:31She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:34This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:40The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:48And get used to compliments.
00:52:50There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me out.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01I'm a bit so.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:03Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:09So the world's just got a head start.
00:53:22I think our press is good press.
00:53:25Daniel becomes an award-winning director
00:53:33and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:38He can't do this to me!
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:43Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:56He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:54:00I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:04He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:09Look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career.
00:54:12A mansion in the hills.
00:54:14An adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:20Your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:33Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:35Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:37He's your dad.
00:54:38No!
00:54:38Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:45When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:19No!
00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:32Hey, babe.
00:55:34Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:36Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:52That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:13Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:23It's not like that.
00:56:24Okay?
00:56:25Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:39Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh wait.
00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:45You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:04No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please.
00:57:06Please, I love you.
00:57:07Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security,
00:57:13all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Babe, just...
00:57:17Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:26I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:32He truly knew me.
00:57:36He loved me.
00:57:38Every flaw.
00:57:39Every fear.
00:57:41Contract or not.
00:57:43He truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:47Saved me?
00:57:49You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:51Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:54And he saved me from you.
00:57:57Security!
00:58:00Security!
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:01Just let's talk about this.
00:58:02No.
00:58:04Come on.
00:58:04Celeste, do something.
00:58:06Sabrina!
00:58:08Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:10Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:58:14and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all you care about?
00:58:18The fame?
00:58:19The headlines?
00:58:20The brand deals?
00:58:21God!
00:58:22You're supposed to be my mother first,
00:58:25not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina,
00:58:28you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:33I love you.
00:58:35Then prove it.
00:58:36If you ever want me in front of a camera again,
00:58:38then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:40You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:58In film school,
00:58:59we were literally told to watch
00:59:00every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:03I mean, you know this.
00:59:04You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:07All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:09You're a powerhouse-sitting idol
00:59:10in the wrong country.
00:59:12I appreciate the compliment,
00:59:13but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:15Come on!
00:59:16You're built for billion-dollar franchises,
00:59:18Hollywood blockbusters,
00:59:19the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:59:21not London.
00:59:22That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest,
00:59:25I already did L.A.
00:59:26It didn't really end well.
00:59:28Let me guess.
00:59:29My girl?
00:59:30If by a girl,
00:59:32he means Hollywood royalty,
00:59:33Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:35You don't walk away from a gift like yours
00:59:37over some heartbreak.
00:59:38You can become a household name,
00:59:40and I can get you there.
00:59:42You've given me a lot to think about.
00:59:44Three-picture deal.
00:59:45$200 million budget each,
00:59:47creative control,
00:59:48and final cut approval.
00:59:49I don't know what to say.
00:59:50Just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember, Daniel,
00:59:56you can't run away from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it
00:59:59and tell the fuck off.
01:00:00Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:15Can we talk?
01:00:17Daniel, can you give us a hint
01:00:18about your first movie
01:00:19with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:20Of course.
01:00:21It's about a man
01:00:22who gets fucked over
01:00:23by America's sweetheart
01:00:24and comes out on top.
01:00:26Is this a personal story?
01:00:29Will we get a hint
01:00:29at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:32Oh...
01:00:33She knows who she is.
01:00:36Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:40You arrogant little shit.
01:00:43I told you,
01:00:44if you ever set foot
01:00:45in this fucking country,
01:00:46I would unleash
01:00:47a world of hell.
01:00:53It's Les Donovan.
01:00:54I need a favor.
01:00:56I need you to track down
01:00:56Daniel Johnson
01:00:57to find out where he'll be
01:00:58around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:01:02It's time for a little reunion
01:01:03with Hollywood's
01:01:04newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom?
01:01:07What are you doing?
01:01:11Did you just break my TV?
01:01:14Can you give us a name
01:01:15for your upcoming film?
01:01:17You know how
01:01:17I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:19You've been so kind, though.
01:01:20Um, it's called
01:01:21You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:25He's back.
01:01:28Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:30Honey,
01:01:31I didn't want you
01:01:31spiraling again.
01:01:33I'm not a fragile
01:01:33little girl anymore.
01:01:35I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not.
01:01:39You're not working
01:01:39for your ex-husband.
01:01:40If you don't get me
01:01:41an audition,
01:01:42then I will get
01:01:43a manager who will.
01:01:44Honey,
01:01:45I'm just looking out
01:01:46for you.
01:01:46He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:51I just need
01:01:52to talk to him.
01:01:54Let him go.
01:01:57Mom!
01:01:59Honey, I...
01:02:00You know,
01:02:02I just want
01:02:03what's best for you,
01:02:04right?
01:02:05I just don't want
01:02:06to see my little girl
01:02:07hurt again.
01:02:07I love you.
01:02:10I love you.
01:02:11I love you, too.
01:02:15Here we go.
01:02:18This is, um...
01:02:19It's another movie deal.
01:02:21I'll tell you
01:02:21about it after.
01:02:22Did you get his location?
01:02:39The Oaks, 8 p.m.
01:02:43After I'm done with him,
01:02:45Daniel Johnson
01:02:45won't just be
01:02:46blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:48He'll be erased
01:02:49from freeing his life
01:02:50forever.
01:02:59She's not protecting me.
01:03:02She's protecting
01:03:02her business.
01:03:03And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:05But if she wants
01:03:06a scandal,
01:03:07she'll get one.
01:03:10So nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just
01:03:13mean from the UK.
01:03:14Yeah, it's been
01:03:15a rough couple years,
01:03:16hasn't it?
01:03:16A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was
01:03:19ten years of you
01:03:20slaving away
01:03:21for those people.
01:03:22If you can even
01:03:22call them that.
01:03:23You're healthy now.
01:03:25And I'm at the top
01:03:25of my career.
01:03:27I mean, yeah,
01:03:27there was a time
01:03:28that I loved Sabrina,
01:03:30but I really thought
01:03:31I could make it work.
01:03:32The marriage,
01:03:33the kids.
01:03:33I mean,
01:03:35we really tried.
01:03:36I thought I could
01:03:36make it go for it,
01:03:37but it's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:42I mean,
01:03:42let her chase
01:03:43whatever fantasy
01:03:44she thinks
01:03:44Preston Eastwood
01:03:45could offer.
01:03:54Oh.
01:03:55You haven't heard?
01:03:57She dumped him.
01:03:59It was all over
01:03:59People magazine.
01:04:00She ended it
01:04:01when his star faded.
01:04:03Oh my gosh,
01:04:05it was.
01:04:11Daniel!
01:04:15Stop!
01:04:23Sabrina,
01:04:23what are you doing here?
01:04:25I'm here to help you.
01:04:27Sabrina,
01:04:27we are making a scene.
01:04:30Let's go home.
01:04:31Sabrina?
01:04:31How could you?
01:04:32What?
01:04:32I just came to ask Daniel
01:04:34if he'd let you audition,
01:04:36but he said no.
01:04:37I begged and pleaded.
01:04:38Stop lying.
01:04:40I saw you bribe the waiter
01:04:42to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:44And I'll bet you
01:04:45called the paparazzi, too,
01:04:46to catch him drugged
01:04:48out of his mind
01:04:48and ruin him.
01:04:50My God.
01:04:51You're disgusting.
01:04:52I'm a manager,
01:04:53Daniel.
01:04:54Not anymore.
01:04:54Why did you become
01:04:56such a conniving,
01:04:58scheming snake?
01:05:00I don't even know
01:05:01who you are anymore.
01:05:03I'm your mother.
01:05:05I only want
01:05:06what's best for you.
01:05:08What's best for me?
01:05:12You've been controlling
01:05:13my life ever since
01:05:14you knew you could
01:05:14profit from it.
01:05:16that all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:23Fired.
01:05:25No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:29You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:38I have dedicated
01:05:38my life to you.
01:05:39You dedicated your life
01:05:41to money and to fame.
01:05:44I was just who
01:05:45you used to get to it.
01:05:47You think you can survive
01:05:48on sheer talent?
01:05:50There's a thousand girls
01:05:51more talented than you
01:05:52waiting for their shot.
01:05:53I made you.
01:05:55You'd be nothing
01:05:56without me.
01:05:59I think she'll do
01:06:01just fine.
01:06:07We're done here, Mom.
01:06:10If you want any chance
01:06:11to be in Jackson's life
01:06:13or in mine,
01:06:15you'll leave now.
01:06:17Without another word.
01:06:29I have something to say.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:36I'm sorry I took you
01:06:37for granted
01:06:37all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom
01:06:41manipulate and use you.
01:06:44I'm sorry I brought
01:06:45Preston into our home
01:06:47and poisoned our son
01:06:49towards you.
01:06:53Apologize to your father.
01:06:55Do I have to?
01:06:56Jackson, who raised you?
01:06:59Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches
01:07:03when I was on set?
01:07:05Laid with you
01:07:06when you had nightmares
01:07:07and coddled you
01:07:08when you were sick?
01:07:10He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:12But you treated him
01:07:13like he was nothing.
01:07:14I was wrong.
01:07:16Jackson, he gave us
01:07:18ten years of his life
01:07:19and we abused it.
01:07:21And now there is
01:07:22nothing we can do
01:07:24to take that back.
01:07:25I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:30It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:32I love you.
01:07:33Okay.
01:07:35Come on, Jackson.
01:07:36Let's go.
01:07:43I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:45For everything.
01:07:46Okay.
01:07:46I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of
01:07:59going back to them.
01:08:00No.
01:08:03I just didn't know
01:08:04it would be this hard.
01:08:05They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:07They tore you to pieces
01:08:10and then just expected
01:08:11you to come running back.
01:08:13people can change
01:08:16but that doesn't
01:08:19change the past.
01:08:23And the Oscar goes to
01:08:25Daniel Johnson
01:08:26for his original screenplay,
01:08:28Loving Her.
