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.
00:07:35Listen, our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:45We got her.
00:07:46We got her.
00:07:46We got her.
00:07:53We got her.
00:08:06You've destroyed me.
00:08:18Rest in...
00:08:20Just let them live.
00:08:34Maria!
00:08:35Don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:40Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:44Just...
00:08:45Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:05No!
00:09:06Don'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.
00:09:26Good to see ya!
00:09:35Oh my gosh, how long is it then?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:38Oh, 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?
00:10:02I can't believe my wife would invite the ex 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.
00:10:16No, 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?
00:10:26My 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, 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.
00:10:53Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:11:00again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But 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.
00:11:28What 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.
00:11:45My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:51I'm rich.
00:11:53Which 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.
00:12:04You 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!
00:12:10Lucky 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.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed, so.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:32Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:12:37Anyways.
00:12:38Come on, baby, let's go.
00:12:40Screw you.
00:12:41Here we go.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:44There's cops.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:50I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:53It is the last time.
00:12:56You guys?
00:12:59Bye.
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:01Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract sign.
00:13:14It'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.
00:13:52Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood.
00:13:57I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00Oh, gee.
00:14:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:04The scene that I wrote, uncredited of course, even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:14All 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?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:30You get it, right?
00:14:34So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43It'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.
00:14:59It 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.
00:15:20My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:15:29afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:34If 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...
00:15:42Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:44Come on, let's go to Michelle.
00:15:49Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:07I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23On the sound of it, your 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, Sabrina 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.
00:16:53You need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:01You'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.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:28Daniel, 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.
00:17:48We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:53A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
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 going 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.
00:18:56Daniel.
00:19:00I'm here.
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:06Oh, good.
00:19:09You're up.
00:19:10After dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:15It's fun.
00:19:16Don't look at me like that.
00:19:19I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:22Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:27He'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, Matt.
00:19:35I've had every opportunity to sleep with her.
00:19:39And it happened.
00:19:41You can trust me.
00:19:42Preston, I think you're going to talk about anything right now.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:59I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
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.
00:20:09Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:10Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:16Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:28That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:38God, God, 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...
00:20:53What?
00:20:55You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:01And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
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.
00:21:34I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:43Daniel.
00:21:43Daniel.
00:21:45I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:01If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:04I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:09Daniel.
00:22:10Look 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.
00:22:46God, 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.
00:22:53I'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 I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:12Hey, uh, you'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.
00:23:40What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:41Mr. Eastwood, I 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.
00:23:57Not to play with them.
00:23:59You never let me do anything.
00:24:01Come 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 bad 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?
00:24:37Call it 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 of 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?
00:25:05Please.
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 writing 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!
00:25:35You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
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.
00:26:23I 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.
00:26:34Remember 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.
00:26:45I'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.
00:26:58Come on.
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.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:11You did lose a lot of blood,
00:27:40so we're going to have to keep you here overnight
00:27:42to pump you with a liquid.
00:27:44To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:48Trouble with the missus?
00:27:51Uh...
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:53Pretty obvious.
00:27:55Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this,
00:28:00but Sabrina Donovan was here
00:28:02with Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:08I've been obsessed with them since breaking the eyes.
00:28:12You said, um, couple?
00:28:15I wasn't sure,
00:28:16but I checked the visitation logs,
00:28:18and it's official!
00:28:20She even helped me reposition Preston
00:28:22when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:30Need 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,
00:28:39ten years ago.
00:28:41Daniel!
00:28:42Sweet and caring,
00:28:45so Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:51and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:53Fuck you!
00:28:58Fuck!
00:29:00I'm gonna get my shit in here.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:08I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:18It needs the right producer.
00:29:20I know it's a long shot,
00:29:21but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:24Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:31Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:35I've been busy.
00:29:36I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:40Seriously?
00:29:41Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you,
00:29:44he's just a friend.
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:50I...
00:29:51I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry.
00:29:54I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into her home
00:29:57was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what it is.
00:30:04But I mean,
00:30:05you know how the industry works.
00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship,
00:30:10and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:13And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean,
00:30:15you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:17But...
00:30:18I just...
00:30:19I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:26I...
00:30:26I care about you.
00:30:28I don't know that.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:43Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever wants to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:52Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting.
00:31:02So,
00:31:02let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking
00:31:06we could
00:31:07revisit your script.
00:31:12I 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,
00:31:19but
00:31:19they're good.
00:31:20The lead role is something
00:31:22I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean,
00:31:24we have to do this.
00:31:26Me and you.
00:31:27The lead actress
00:31:28and the writer-director.
00:31:31I gave up on that dream
00:31:32of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well,
00:31:37how about you make us some lattes
00:31:39and for the next hour
00:31:41we can just pour ourselves
00:31:42into the script.
00:31:43Just like we used to
00:31:44in film school.
00:31:46There was a time
00:31:48when this would have worked on me.
00:31:49I would have
00:31:50melted in her hands.
00:31:53Now I just want to
00:31:54pack and get out of here.
00:31:55What?
00:31:55I don't know what you do,
00:32:12but I asked the chef
00:32:14to make a latte
00:32:14while you were gone
00:32:15and it was awful.
00:32:19Well, I've had a lot of experience
00:32:20making it for you.
00:32:20I'll be sure to tell him
00:32:21how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here
00:32:30to make it.
00:32:33I knew it.
00:32:35You are mad
00:32:36that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you
00:32:38it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41It's not like our marriage
00:32:43is going to get me
00:32:43on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:48It's good to know
00:32:50where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:04Just leave it.
00:33:06I thought you would appreciate
00:33:07that I read your script.
00:33:10And what?
00:33:11It would make up
00:33:11for all the years of indifference?
00:33:13I'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.
00:33:37What?
00:33:38Is that how you talk
00:33:39to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:41Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:41Not quite.
00:33:42That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break,
00:33:45we need to finalize
00:33:46your entertainment contract
00:33:47and our family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:50Remember that.
00:33:52I'm texting you the address
00:33:53of where to meet me.
00:34:04I heard she was sneaking
00:34:06Preston Eastwood
00:34:07into 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
00:34:14and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:19I read somewhere
00:34:20that he was just
00:34:20a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Oh, wow.
00:34:25If we want the tea,
00:34:26let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:29Jackson, we were just talking
00:34:34about your mom.
00:34:36Do you know where she is
00:34:37or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:41He's been staying with us.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood
00:34:46might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler
00:34:51than my old-born real dad.
00:34:53Speaking of,
00:34:55I don't think we've ever met
00:34:56your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home
00:34:59doing chores like a maid.
00:35:06What 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.
00:35:16Jackson,
00:35:16do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:18I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:24Is there a problem?
00:35:30Oh, my God.
00:35:32That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina
00:35:34choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:36If there was a problem,
00:35:38that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen
00:35:45to your kid and pat out
00:35:46because you're starting to make a scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:53You showed up uninvited
00:35:55in street rags,
00:35:57abused Sabrina's kid,
00:35:58and picked a fight
00:35:59with an A-lister.
00:36:01That's the kind of story
00:36:03the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much
00:36:06to be canceled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina
00:36:10for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all I stopped once,
00:36:13that.
00:36:14You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina
00:36:17turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:21How are you watching now?
00:36:22Trash like him
00:36:23is always forgetting
00:36:24their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh, yeah?
00:36:29What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back
00:36:32to your ex that you cheated on
00:36:33so that you can
00:36:33leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:36What the hell?
00:36:58What happened?
00:37:00Oh, my God.
00:37:02Daniel.
00:37:04What the hell happened?
00:37:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:09Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing
00:37:13when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:18He found out about your premiere
00:37:19and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy!
00:37:21Dad came in here
00:37:22and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No, no, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here,
00:37:28Daniel would have manhandled
00:37:30Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel, is that true?
00:37:40Sabrina.
00:37:43Oh, ass!
00:37:45Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them is broken.
00:37:49Sabrina, honey,
00:37:51we need to help Preston.
00:37:54But...
00:37:54But Daniel...
00:37:57Imagine choosing that loser
00:38:00for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:13Mommy, please,
00:38:14we can't leave him.
00:38:16I...
00:38:16I have...
00:38:18I have to help Preston.
00:38:19I have to help Preston.
00:38:19She's made her choice.
00:38:48There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston
00:38:50can give her the life
00:38:51she's grown used to
00:38:52after all these years
00:38:53of me slaving for her.
00:38:55Well,
00:39:03that went even better
00:39:05than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make
00:39:07a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting
00:39:09for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber
00:39:12waiting for you outside
00:39:13to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:18In fact,
00:39:19get out of the country.
00:39:20If I so much
00:39:22as see your name
00:39:23next to my daughters
00:39:24in a tabloid,
00:39:25I will make your life
00:39:26a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it.
00:39:43Just dry.
00:39:43I used to
00:39:57ache for her approval.
00:40:00Now I just want to
00:40:01breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:06Say that.
00:40:07I don't know what you're doing.
00:40:09I'm going to call the doctor.
00:40:11Okay?
00:40:13What are you doing?

00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please,
00:42:05he was the one bleeding out.
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside
00:42:08holding his head
00:42:09after he spoke
00:42:09to some older woman.
00:42:11He didn't come back in,
00:42:12though.
00:42:14Oh,
00:42:14no.
00:42:15God,
00:42:17Daniel,

00:42:48wouldn't leave me.
00:42:49He loves me too much
00:42:59to abandon me
00:43:00when I need him the most.
00:43:02No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:07He will be back.
00:43:11No.
00:43:22Wait,
00:43:22it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero,
00:43:25got sealed for Jackson.

00:43:32He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on it.
00:43:45No.
00:43:47All this time,
00:43:49he's gonna leave me.
00:43:50It can't be.
00:44:08It's not her.
00:44:09Honestly,
00:44:10it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:19We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years,
00:44:23everything we've been through.
00:44:24I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go.
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:54Daniel?
00:44:58No,
00:44:59it's mom.
00:45:00Is everything okay?
00:45:01You sound pissed.
00:45:01Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:05Daniel.
00:45:07He just left us.
00:45:10Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him.
00:45:13We can check the hospital
00:45:15or the...
00:45:16Oh,
00:45:16honey.
00:45:17It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning
00:45:24and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry!
00:45:36Dad!
00:45:37Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:39Tax it?
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,
00:45:54but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay!
00:45:56He's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01He was so embarrassing.
00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:03Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:05What 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,
00:46:28but I hate him!
00:46:29I hate him!
00:46:29I hate him!
00:46:29I hate him!
00:46:29I hate him!
00:46:31I hate him!
00:46:33I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan,
00:46:40it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry,
00:46:44I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large thumbs have been wired
00:46:46to someone named
00:46:48Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No,
00:46:51but I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:55I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Jackson,
00:46:59I don't want to ever hear you
00:47:00say Preston's name again.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man
00:47:04you think he is.
00:47:05Your father,
00:47:06the one who raised you
00:47:07and cared about you,
00:47:08is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him
00:47:10at all costs.
00:47:12What kind of coward
00:47:14abandons his family?
00:47:15Huh?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:18I can't do this anymore.
00:47:20I'll cancel everything.
00:47:22The interviews,
00:47:23the red carpets,
00:47:24I don't want to be seen.
00:47:26I can't pretend.
00:47:29I just want him back.
00:47:31Oh,
00:47:31honey.
00:47:33It's time to let him go.
00:47:35You don't love him anyway.
00:47:37And think about what Preston
00:47:40would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How 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
00:47:54when Preston dropped me
00:47:55like I was nothing.
00:47:56But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:01Daniel's my husband.
00:48:02And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband
00:48:05abandoning you
00:48:06without a moment's notice,
00:48:07wanting nothing to do
00:48:08with this child
00:48:09just because I contrahanded?
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:17What are you talking about?
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Forget it.
00:48:23Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel
00:48:26at the restaurant the other day,
00:48:28you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something
00:48:31you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please.
00:48:33I just want the truth.
00:48:35Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:38I will tell you the truth.
00:48:41But promise me
00:48:42you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth,
00:48:47Sabrina.
00:48:49But know
00:48:49it was all for your own good.
00:48:54When Preston left you,
00:48:56you 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
00:49:24some 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
00:49:34for my career,
00:49:35my money.
00:49:36Well,
00:49:37it worked, didn't it?
00:49:37You were about
00:49:43to throw yourself
00:49:44off a rooftop.
00:49:46Daniel did
00:49:46what 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
00:49:54where he went.
00:49:55Where is he?
00:49:56You can do better than him.
00:49:58You are
00:49:59Sabrina Donovan,
00:50:00Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me,
00:50:03it's for the best.
00:50:04No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't.
00:50:07Yes,
00:50:08he is gone
00:50:09and he is gone
00:50:10forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone.
00:50:13He can't.
00:50:34I'm live
00:50:35with the highly
00:50:36anticipated premiere

00:50:58Honestly,
00:50:58I'm just trying
00:50:59not to trip over
00:50:59my own seat.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man.
00:51:03How uncomfortable
00:51:04these designer shoes
00:51:05would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk
00:51:07of a sequel.
00:51:08Uh, yeah.
00:51:10God, my career
00:51:11has been a long
00:51:12time in the making
00:51:12and I've been very
00:51:14honest about it,
00:51:14actually.
00:51:15I almost gave up
00:51:16the dream.
00:51:17But London?
00:51:19London lit the fire
00:51:20under me.
00:51:21And I feel like
00:51:21I found my voice
00:51:22and it really is.
00:51:24Full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London,
00:51:26since you're
00:51:27an American writer
00:51:28director,
00:51:28will you be making
00:51:29your way back

00:51:41I will make your life
00:51:42a living hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:59He's no good
00:52:02at bragging about
00:52:02himself,
00:52:03so I'll do it
00:52:04for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true
00:52:06auteur and a creative
00:52:08genius and it was
00:52:10a privilege to be
00:52:11his leading lady.
00:52:12That's not a light
00:52:13compliment coming
00:52:14from Emily Blake,
00:52:15two-time Golden
00:52:16Globe Award winning
00:52:16actress and celebrated
00:52:18alumni of the Royal
00:52:20Shakespeare Company.
00:52:21Well, I've heard that
00:52:21your relationship
00:52:23wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:25She was practically
00:52:32eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:34Jeez.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean,
00:52:36I can't believe
00:52:37this is happening to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:40The moment I read
00:52:41your script,
00:52:41I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel,
00:52:45enjoy this
00:52:47and get used

00:52:50There's already
00:52:51Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me out.
00:52:54I feel like I'm
00:52:55dreaming.
00:52:55You okay?
00:52:59You always do that
00:53:00when you're nervous.
00:53:01I'm a bit so.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:05Well,
00:53:06the world's about to
00:53:06meet its new
00:53:07favorite filmmaker.
00:53:09Some of us
00:53:10just got a head start.
00:53:22I know.
00:53:23our press is good press.
00:53:25Daniel becomes an award-winning
00:53:32director
00:53:33and he's cheating on me
00:53:35with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:37Grrrr.
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
00:53:4315 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can he move on to that
00:53:45uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:53Why do you think he signed
00:53:54the contract in the first place,
00:53:55hmm?
00:53:56He wanted to start his career
00:53:57under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:54:00I mean,
00:54:00if anything,
00:54:01being with me
00:54:02hurt his career.
00:54:04He's proving that
00:54:05to the whole world.
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:08Look 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,
00:54:16when 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,
00:54:27I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef
00:54:28make something.
00:54:29No,
00:54:30I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired
00:54:32of chicken nuggets.
00:54:33Why didn't you just
00:54:33hire Daniel back?
00:54:35Don't talk about him
00:54:36like 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
00:54:41who made me snacks
00:54:42and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun
00:54:44telling him what to do.
00:54:46When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see,
00:54:49even your own son
00:54:50thinks Daniel's
00:54:51a 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
00:55:07you are actually
00:55:08heartbroken 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
00:55:16for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun
00:55:18of Daniel.
00:55:19No!
00:55:19I yelled at you
00:55:20because you're making fun
00:55:21of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep
00:55:23talking like that,
00:55:24I'm going to put you
00:55:24in a timeout.
00:55:25It's time that you
00:55:27stop acting like
00:55:27a spoiled little brat.
00:55:29Hey, babe.
00:55:34Are you really
00:55:34going to get mad
00:55:35at Jackson for what?
00:55:36Making fun of that
00:55:37fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40You haven't had a job
00:55:41in over a year,
00:55:42Preston.
00:55:43And you've been
00:55:44mooching off from me
00:55:45and ordering my staff
00:55:46around like you're
00:55:47their boss.
00:55:48That's really,
00:55:53really low.
00:55:54Especially after
00:55:55everything I've done
00:55:56to help you
00:55:57with your brand
00:55:57and keeping it
00:55:58from collapsing
00:55:58in the last year.
00:56:00Come on,
00:56:00we're America's
00:56:01power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple,
00:56:03you both have
00:56:04to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me
00:56:08to hide the fact
00:56:08that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're
00:56:11a fucking thief.
00:56:13Yeah,
00:56:13I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing
00:56:15from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested,
00:56:19but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly,
00:56:22I pity you.
00:56:23It's not like that.
00:56:24Okay?
00:56:25Look,
00:56:25I was just merging
00:56:26things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy
00:56:30Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:32What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers
00:56:35do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:39Oh,
00:56:39what's my favorite
00:56:40goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh,

00:56:43middle name?
00:56:45You don't give a shit
00:56:46about 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
00:56:53is 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
00:56:59ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:02We're over.

00:57:04babe,
00:57:04babe,

00:57:06please,
00:57:06I love you.
00:57:07Just,
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
00:57:12my security,
00:57:13all of this
00:57:13will get a lot
00:57:14uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:17Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone,
00:57:21Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real thing.
00:57:25I see you,
00:57:25Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never
00:57:30going to be alone again.
00:57:32He truly knew me.
00:57:36He loved me.
00:57:37Every flaw,
00:57:39every fear,
00:57:41contract or not,
00:57:43he truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you
00:57:46from social suicide.
00:57:47Saved me?
00:57:49You don't even know
00:57:50how ironic that is.
00:57:52Daniel saved me
00:57:53from the ledge,
00:57:54and he saved me
00:57:55from you.
00:57:57Security!
00:58:00Security!
00:58:01Come on,
00:58:01just let's talk
00:58:02about this.
00:58:03No.
00:58:04Come on.
00:58:04Celeste,
00:58:05do something.
00:58:06Sabrina!
00:58:08More than Sabrina!
00:58:10Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean,
00:58:12he still is
00:58:13a Hollywood A-lister
00:58:14and people's
00:58:15sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all
00:58:16you care about?
00:58:18The fame,
00:58:19the headlines,
00:58:20the brand deals?
00:58:21God,
00:58:22you're supposed
00:58:23to be my mother first,
00:58:25not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina,
00:58:28you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course
00:58:31I care about you.
00:58:33I love you.
00:58:35Then prove it.
00:58:36If you ever want me
00:58:37in front of a camera again,
00:58:38then you will help me
00:58:39get Daniel back.
00:58:53You'll have to forgive me,
00:58:54Miss Julie.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock
00:58:57right now.
00:58:58In film school,
00:58:59we were literally told
00:59:00to watch every single film
00:59:01that you ever produced.
00:59:03I mean,
00:59:04you know this.
00:59:04You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it,
00:59:07Daniel.
00:59:07All right,
00:59:08let me cut to the chase.
00:59:09You're a powerhouse
00:59:10sitting idol
00:59:10in the wrong country.
00:59:12I appreciate the compliment,
00:59:13but I mean,
00:59:13I'm doing all right.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:15Come on!
00:59:16You're built for
00:59:16billion-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.
00:59:29A girl?
00:59:30If by a girl,
00:59:32he means Hollywood royalty,
00:59:33Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:35You don't walk away
00:59:36from a gift like yours
00:59:37over some heartbreak.
00:59:38You can become
00:59:39a household name
00:59:40and I can get you there.
00:59:42You're giving me
00:59:43a lot to think about.
00:59:44Three-picture deal.
00:59:45200 million dollar budget each,
00:59:47creative control
00:59:47and 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.
00:59:54Just remember, Daniel,
00:59:56you can't run away
00:59:57from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it
00:59:59and tell the fuck off.
01:00:12Hey, 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?
01:00:21Of 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 if you ever
01:00:44set foot in this fucking country,
01:00:46I would unleash
01:00:47a world of hell.
01:00:47Oh, no.
01:00:48It'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.
01:01:01It's time for a little reunion
01:01:03with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom?
01:01:07What are you doing?
01:01:11Did you just break my TV?
01:01:13Can you give us a name
01:01:15for your upcoming film?
01:01:17You know how I'm supposed
01:01:18to 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 a manager
01:01:43who will.
01:01:44Oh, honey.
01:01:45I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:46He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:51I just need to talk to him.
01:01:54Let him go.
01:01:57Mom.
01:01:59Honey, I...
01:02:01You know I just want
01:02:03what's best for you, right?
01:02:05I just don't want to see
01:02:06my little girl hurt again.
01:02:09I love you.
01:02:10I 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 about it after.
01:02:23Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks.
01:02:418 p.m.
01:02:42Ah.
01:02:43After I'm done with him,
01:02:45Daniel Johnson won't just be
01:02:46blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:48He'll be erased
01:02:49from spreeing his life forever.
01:02:59She's not protecting me.
01:03:02She's protecting her business.
01:03:03And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:05But if she wants a scandal,
01:03:07she'll get one.
01:03:08It's so nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean
01:03:13from the U.K.
01:03:14Yeah, it's been a rough
01:03:15couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:16A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was 10 years
01:03:20of you slaving away
01:03:21for those people.
01:03:22If you can even call them that.
01:03:23You're healthy now.
01:03:25And I'm at the top
01:03:25of my career.
01:03:26I 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, the kids.
01:03:34I mean, we really tried.
01:03:36I thought I could make it go for it,
01:03:37but it's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:42I mean, let her
01:03:43chase whatever fantasy
01:03:44she thinks Preston
01:03:45needs to be going off her.
01:03:54Oh.
01:03:55You went hard?
01:03:56She dumped him.
01:03:59It was all over
01:03:59People magazine.
01:04:00She ended it
01:04:01when his star faded.
01:04:04Oh, my gosh.
01:04:05What?
01:04:11Daniel!
01:04:15Stop!
01:04:23Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:04:24I'm here to help you.
01:04:27Sabrina,
01:04:28we are making a scene.
01:04:29Let'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 called
01:04:45the paparazzi, too,
01:04:46to catch him drugged
01:04:48out of his mind
01:04:48and ruin him.
01:04:49Oh, my God.
01:04:51You're disgusting.
01:04:52I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:54Not anymore.
01:04:55Why did you become such a
01:04:57conniving, scheming 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 what's best for you.
01:05:08What's best for me?
01:05:10You've been controlling my life
01:05:13ever since you knew
01:05:14you could profit from it.
01:05:17That all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:23Fired.
01:05:25No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:33No.
01:05:34You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please.
01:05:37Please, sweetie.
01:05:38I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:39You dedicated your life
01:05:41to money and to fame.
01:05:44I was just who you used
01:05:46to 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 without me.
01:05:59I think she'll do just 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.
01:06:18I have something to say.
01:06:30I have something to say.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:36I'm sorry I took you for granted
01:06:37all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom
01:06:41manipulate and use you.
01:06:43I'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?
01:06:57Who 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?
01:07:09He 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,
01:07:17he gave us 10 years
01:07:18of 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.
01:07:26I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:27It'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
01:07:59of going 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.
01:08:08They 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.
01:08:31Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:33I'm here, Daniel.
01:08:35Daniel, is it true
01:08:36that the script
01:08:36that won you Oscars
01:08:37for both writing
01:08:38and directing
01:08:38sat on a shelf
01:08:39for 10 years?
01:08:40Yes.
01:08:41I'll admit,
01:08:42I got a little sidelined
01:08:43but I think
01:08:45I found my way back.
01:08:47But, okay.
01:08:48I'll tell you this.
01:08:50I don't think
01:08:51you can truly
01:08:52love someone else
01:08:53until
01:08:54you love yourself.
01:09:00Way to go, John!
01:09:02Thank you so much
01:09:20for considering me
01:09:21for this part.
01:09:23We'll keep in touch.
01:09:24How many more do we have today?
01:09:3240, sir.
01:09:33Jesus.
01:09:34Hey, boy!
01:09:35How are we looking?
01:09:37Still big in here?
01:09:38Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:40I mean,
01:09:42this film lives or dies
01:09:44by a female lead.
01:09:45All right, here's the deal.
01:09:46The studio's on my ass
01:09:47looking to lock in the lead
01:09:48today.
01:09:50Today?
01:09:51Are you fucking cute?
01:09:52That's why I love you, man.
01:09:54Cool under pressure.
01:09:55This movie
01:09:56is gonna blow
01:09:57the roof off.
