00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:08That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:34Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:45Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son.
00:01:00But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:05You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:10America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:13All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:16But her career is hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:21You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:26She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:34I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:40If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:48This was the last one.
00:01:52Mom, Daniel.
00:01:54What's going on?
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:00Honey!
00:02:00I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.
00:02:09But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:14Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:19Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:23Then I will be free.
00:02:25Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh. Can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:36I saw Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:43Yeah. And then he cheated on you. And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:47I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:50Lunch is on the stove. But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:54No! I want to eat now!
00:02:57You always know the spot.
00:03:09He doesn't listen.
00:03:10Daniel, please. I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Fanity Fair shoot.
00:03:17I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I know-
00:03:23Ew! What is this?
00:03:25It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:27I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets!
00:03:32You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:35But I want them!
00:03:37Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:40You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:45I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:56But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:59And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:04Enough. Just enough.
00:04:07I want a divorce.
00:04:14I want a divorce.
00:04:20Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:23Okay.
00:04:23I want a divorce.
00:04:28I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:31Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:36Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:43Seriously, your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:48I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:49What is this?
00:04:52Another contract?
00:04:53How big is the role?
00:04:56Who's directing?
00:04:57It's not a...
00:04:58Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:01Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:03Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:07I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:11Pull my weight?
00:05:13Yeah, you get it.
00:05:16Mwah!
00:05:17Love you.
00:05:17I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:21If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:24Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:35The movie's Greenland, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:37We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:39I can't.
00:05:40My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:42After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:51At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:53I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:57Hey, mom.
00:05:58How you doing?
00:05:58Oh, good, dear.
00:05:59I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:04Do you need more?
00:06:05No, no, no, no.
00:06:06You've already done so much.
00:06:09I'm just trying to help.
00:06:10I know.
00:06:11But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:15I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:21I am, mom, and I promise very soon everything's going to change.
00:06:32You look wonderful, dear.
00:06:33You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:36Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:38I gotta go.
00:06:39Love you.
00:06:42What is it, mom?
00:06:44Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:46Our favorite leading man.
00:06:48Come on.
00:06:51Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:58and is stealing it back again.
00:07:03Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:12All right, cut.
00:07:13That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:16We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:20Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:21I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:26Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:29If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:33I was the southwest, she called me.
00:07:40We're going to be fine.
00:07:44Go play.
00:07:45We're going to be fine.
00:07:47We're going to be fine.
00:07:48We're going to be fine.
00:07:50I kork Asshole got to be fine today.
00:07:50Don't be fun.
00:07:51I'm sorry.
00:07:52I think that's ĐŸĐș.
00:07:52I don't know.
00:07:53I think I'm too late in the world.
00:07:54You scratch on me.
00:07:54I think I'm too late in the world.
00:07:57Matter of breath.
00:07:58I know that you're only about it!
00:08:00I never should know what your life's heart rate.
00:08:01You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:07There's nothing left.
00:08:21Sabrina, don't!
00:08:23Stay back.
00:08:25I mean it.
00:08:27Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:29Just...
00:08:31Just give me your hand.
00:08:46No!
00:08:49Daniel!
00:08:50I got you.
00:08:52No!
00:08:52Don't let me go!
00:08:54I won't ever let you go.
00:08:59I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:05Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:06I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:08I see all of you.
00:09:11And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:12Good to see you.
00:09:21Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:23Oh, too long.
00:09:24Look at you!
00:09:25Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:29Of course, babe.
00:09:30Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:32Are you kidding?
00:09:32Oh, Daniel.
00:09:33Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:37Oh, there he is!
00:09:38The assistant!
00:09:39I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:43How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:48Stop!
00:09:49I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:55Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:59Daniel!
00:09:59Oh.
00:10:00Don't embarrass me.
00:10:01No, it's fine.
00:10:02Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:07He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:11My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:13He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:15Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:18What are you saying, huh?
00:10:19Yeah.
00:10:20Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:24It's fine.
00:10:26It's fine.
00:10:27Just relax, okay?
00:10:28Be nice.
00:10:38Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:44when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:46Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:58Ooh, careful.
00:11:00You all right?
00:11:03I'm still starving.
00:11:05Make me some food.
00:11:06Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:09Stew?
00:11:11Ew.
00:11:11What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:13I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:16Daniel.
00:11:17If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:19I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:23Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:26What?
00:11:27For real?
00:11:28Yeah.
00:11:29My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:32Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:34I'm rich.
00:11:35Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:40I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:44See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:45You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:47You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:49They were so dull.
00:11:50Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:53Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:57So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:02My treat.
00:12:03There you go.
00:12:04What to do?
00:12:05Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:07I don't mind.
00:12:08All of you insist.
00:12:09I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:11Okay.
00:12:14Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code.
00:12:19So, anyways.
00:12:20Come on, man.
00:12:21Let's go.
00:12:23Let's go.
00:12:23Gotcha.
00:12:24There we go.
00:12:25Oh.
00:12:25There's Paps.
00:12:29You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:31Last time.
00:12:32I promise.
00:12:34You're right.
00:12:36It is the last time.
00:12:39You guys?
00:12:41Jackson.
00:12:42Jackson.
00:12:49Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:53Contract's fine.
00:12:55It's over.
00:12:57Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:01I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:04After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:07Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:25Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:28She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:30Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:34I could scream.
00:13:35I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:37Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:41Oh, gee.
00:13:42I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:44A scene that I wrote.
00:13:46Uncredited, of course.
00:13:47Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:49Wait.
00:13:50Are you two dating?
00:13:51Oh, well, actually.
00:13:52This is totally a date.
00:13:54All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:02Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:05You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:07Your brand?
00:14:08It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:11You get it, right?
00:14:20So, you two are a thing?
00:14:22Well, I...
00:14:23Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:24We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:35This is so going viral.
00:14:36I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:38That looks like more than dating.
00:14:40Is this your son?
00:14:41I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:44Don't be silly.
00:14:46You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:48That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:50He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:53But Preston is awesome.
00:14:56He's an action spy.
00:14:58I wish he was my dad.
00:15:01My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:03But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:10It's okay, buddy.
00:15:10Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:13If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:15That is, if Mom's cool with it.
00:15:18Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:19Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:22Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:26Come on.
00:15:27Let's give him a show.
00:15:27Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:45I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:50Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:57Daniel!
00:15:58You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:01From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:05Daniel, he's here?
00:16:06He...
00:16:06Did he see us?
00:16:07Is he looking over here?
00:16:09Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:10I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:12I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:13Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:15Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:19Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:21Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:23Jackson, enough.
00:16:25What do I do?
00:16:27Well, that's it then.
00:16:29Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:31I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:34I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:37You're really good at that.
00:16:39Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:43A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:49I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:54I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:57Daniel loves me.
00:16:58He has to understand.
00:16:59This is Hollywood.
00:17:00It's just part of the job.
00:17:03Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:10Daniel, what is this?
00:17:13I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:16All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:18Are you going somewhere?
00:17:21Honey, what a coincidence.
00:17:24We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:27Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:28A vacation?
00:17:29Finally.
00:17:30You're paying attention.
00:17:32Yeah.
00:17:33I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:35Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:37What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:39Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:40That's not what I meant.
00:17:42Whoa.
00:17:42Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:45That's fine.
00:17:46Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:49Just like any good husband would.
00:17:50Oh, I see.
00:17:52Is it me?
00:17:54Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:56I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:58I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:00You know what?
00:18:01Maybe I should go.
00:18:02I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:03No, please stay.
00:18:05I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:08No, you know what?
00:18:09I'll go.
00:18:11And clearly she wants you.
00:18:13I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:14Daniel, wait.
00:18:16I won't ever let you go.
00:18:18He won't leave.
00:18:19He promised.
00:18:21It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:23We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:26I'm going to go back.
00:18:30Daniel!
00:18:33Oh, please.
00:18:35Better than yours.
00:18:37Yeah.
00:18:38Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:40Oh, good.
00:18:43You're up.
00:18:44Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:49It's fun.
00:18:51Don't look at me like that.
00:18:53I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:56Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:00How lucky for him.
00:19:01He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:05Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:09Listen, man.
00:19:09I...
00:19:10I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:14You can trust me.
00:19:17Preston, I think you're a little drunk.
00:19:19You need to go right now.
00:19:21All right.
00:19:21Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:26I, I, when you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:32I, I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:36Just ignore him.
00:19:36He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:38No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:42Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:44Jealous?
00:19:44My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:49Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:54You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:58That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:06Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:12My God.
00:20:14God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:18Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:23No, it's not like that.
00:20:24I, what?
00:20:26You know what, fine.
00:20:31You two look great together.
00:20:33Daniel, I...
00:20:45And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:53Um.
00:20:56I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:01Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:06I was never the homemaker.
00:21:11Please, Daniel.
00:21:12I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:31If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:34I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:37Look at her now.
00:21:51Playing house for another man.
00:21:53If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:57There he is.
00:22:15God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:18Man, no, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:21Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:25Got some.
00:22:27Yeah.
00:22:28What do you need?
00:22:29Oh, oh.
00:22:30Yeah, there you go.
00:22:31I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:34Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:36Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:38Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:47No.
00:22:48A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:51Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:56It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:00What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:11Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:12I want to play with the fist, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:16And it's unfair.
00:23:17That's a shame, huh?
00:23:18You know what?
00:23:19Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:21Here we go.
00:23:22Ooh.
00:23:23No, it's not to play with them.
00:23:27You never let me do anything!
00:23:30Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:33You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:35It's not about the money.
00:23:37It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:39Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:44Yeah?
00:23:44What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:46You're so annoying!
00:23:49Don't push.
00:23:55I said don't push.
00:23:56Go get a book or something.
00:23:58Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:00He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:24:03God, what the hell is you just showing me?
00:24:08Call it a lesson.
00:24:09I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:10He's not your kid.
00:24:12I wish I was.
00:24:13I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:16I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:19Ouch.
00:24:20I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:22So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?
00:24:24Maybe it will be.
00:24:25But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:29You?
00:24:30Man of the house?
00:24:31Please.
00:24:32You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:34I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:37You're a washed-up pack.
00:24:39Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:41How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:43I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:46I'm a fucking star.
00:24:47A star?
00:24:48A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:52Jackson, come on.
00:24:53I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:55No, I'm not going.
00:24:56Wait, Preston's way cooler than you.
00:24:58Preston, Preston, Preston.
00:25:01You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:27What was that?
00:25:31Daniel, what is happening?
00:25:37It was Dad, Mom.
00:25:39Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:41What?
00:25:41You're so scared.
00:25:42You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:44What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:46I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:47I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:48What?
00:25:49I didn't?
00:25:50Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:51You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:54I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:56He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:57It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:25:59Grow up.
00:25:59Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:02What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:04What?
00:26:05Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:08Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:11No.
00:26:11Oh, my God.
00:26:13He's lying.
00:26:15You're a monster.
00:26:17And in front of your son?
00:26:19You have to be kidding.
00:26:21We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:22Yeah.
00:26:22We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:26Come on.
00:26:27Clean this up.
00:26:30Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:34She's mine now, loser.
00:26:36You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight.
00:27:06To pump people's liquid.
00:27:07To be honest, I could use a break from home.
00:27:11Trouble with the missus?
00:27:14Uh, yeah.
00:27:17It's pretty obvious.
00:27:18Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:21I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:28True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:32I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:27:35You said, um, couple?
00:27:38I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:27:42Oh, she even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:47She was so sweet.
00:27:52Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:55No, it's...
00:27:57It's an old wound.
00:27:59I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:03Daniel!
00:28:04Sweet and caring, so Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:11He only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:21Fuck it.
00:28:23I'm gonna get my shit in, y'all.
00:28:26Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:28You once liked my short film.
00:28:30I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:39It needs the right producer.
00:28:41I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:46Where have you been?
00:28:48I kept calling.
00:28:49I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:52Huh?
00:28:56What?
00:28:57I've been busy.
00:28:58Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:00Uh, seriously?
00:29:02Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:04I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:08Yeah.
00:29:09That's what you want to call it?
00:29:11I...
00:29:12I just...
00:29:14I'm sorry.
00:29:15I...
00:29:16Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:23It is what it is.
00:29:24But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:29You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:33And I think you should go for it.
00:29:35I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:38But...
00:29:39I just...
00:29:39I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:45Seriously.
00:29:46I...
00:29:46I care about you.
00:29:52I'm no man.
00:29:54I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:56I know when you're angry.
00:29:58Really?
00:29:58I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:00I pay attention?
00:30:03Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:05She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:08That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:10A headline.
00:30:11A performance.
00:30:12It's...
00:30:12Sabrina.
00:30:18Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:19You know what?
00:30:20I hate fighting.
00:30:21So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:24I was thinking.
00:30:26We could revisit your script.
00:30:31I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:33You telling me you finally read it?
00:30:36Well, yeah.
00:30:37The first ten pages.
00:30:38But they're good.
00:30:40The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:43I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:45Me and you.
00:30:46The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:50I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:54A long time ago.
00:30:56Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:30:58and for the next hour,
00:31:00we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:02Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:05There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:08I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:11Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:14Fine.
00:31:14I don't know what you do,
00:31:30but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:31:33and it was awful.
00:31:37Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:31:38and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:40That's not what I meant.
00:31:43I like it when you make it.
00:31:46I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:51I knew it.
00:31:51You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:55I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:58God, it's not like our marriage
00:32:00is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:04Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:07It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:09No, Daniel.
00:32:10No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:12Look what you made me do.
00:32:19Just leave it.
00:32:23I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:26And what?
00:32:28It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:29I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:32And look what I get for it.
00:32:34You know what?
00:32:35Forget it.
00:32:36I have a premiere.
00:32:37We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:38What?
00:32:54Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:56Yeah.
00:32:57Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:58Not quite.
00:32:59That was the divorce contract.
00:33:00But if you want a clean break,
00:33:02we need to finalize your entertainment contract
00:33:04and our family's NDA.
00:33:05This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:07Remember that.
00:33:07I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:20I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood
00:33:23into her trailer on set.
00:33:25Oh, please.
00:33:26She's always been so secretive.
00:33:28I mean, this is her movie premiere,
00:33:29and where is her husband?
00:33:31Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:33I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:40Oh, well.
00:33:41If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:43Come here.
00:33:44Oh.
00:33:47Jackson!
00:33:48We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:51Do you know where she is?
00:33:52Or who she's with?
00:33:54She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:56He's been staying with us.
00:33:57Oh.
00:33:58Really?
00:34:00Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:03Oh, I hope so.
00:34:04I really hope so.
00:34:05He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:34:09Speaking of,
00:34:09I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:12Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:15What are you doing here?
00:34:22You never come to these things.
00:34:25Oh, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:28Get lost.
00:34:29You embarrass us.
00:34:30Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:32I'm your father.
00:34:33I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:38Is there a problem?
00:34:39Oh, my God.
00:34:45That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:47How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:50If there was a problem,
00:34:51that's none of your business.
00:34:53I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:54You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:56Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:57You should probably listen to your kid and head out
00:35:00because I'm starting to make a scene.
00:35:03I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:04That's not what I see.
00:35:06You showed up uninvited in street rags,
00:35:10abused Sabrina's kid,
00:35:11and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:15That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:18It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:21And then they would praise Sabrina
00:35:23for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:25This was all a stunt, wasn't it?
00:35:27You were revolting.
00:35:29No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:31Hey.
00:35:33Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:35Trash like him is always forgetting
00:35:37their place in the world.
00:35:39Yeah.
00:35:40Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:41Oh, yeah?
00:35:42What lesson is that, Preston?
00:35:43You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on
00:35:46so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:48Hmm.
00:35:52Oh!
00:35:53Oh!
00:35:53Oh!
00:35:53Oh!
00:36:05What the hell?
00:36:11What happened?
00:36:13Oh, my God!
00:36:14Daniel!
00:36:16What the hell happened?
00:36:17Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:19Are you okay?
00:36:20Look at her go.
00:36:22Hollywood's finest.
00:36:24Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:26It's Daniel.
00:36:28He's a monster.
00:36:29He found out about your premiere
00:36:31and crashed the party.
00:36:32Mommy!
00:36:33Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:36No.
00:36:36No, that's not true.
00:36:38If Preston weren't here,
00:36:40Daniel would have manhandled Jackson
00:36:42in front of the reporters.
00:36:43Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:47Daniel.
00:36:48Is that true?
00:36:49Sabrina.
00:36:54Oh!
00:36:55Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:58I think one of them's broken.
00:37:00Sabrina?
00:37:01Honey?
00:37:02We need to help Preston.
00:37:06But Daniel!
00:37:10Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:19Mommy, please!
00:37:24We can't leave him!
00:37:26I...
00:37:27I have...
00:37:28I have to help Preston.
00:37:44Come on, Jackson.
00:37:49Daniel!
00:37:52I got you.
00:37:54Don't let me go!
00:37:56She's made her choice.
00:37:58There's no going back.
00:37:59We'll see if Preston can give her the life
00:38:00she's grown used to
00:38:01after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:11Well,
00:38:12that went even better than I planned.
00:38:16Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:18I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:20There's an Uber waiting for you outside
00:38:23to take you to the airport.
00:38:25Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:26In fact,
00:38:28get out of the country.
00:38:29If I so much as see your name
00:38:32next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:38:34I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:36Don't worry about it.
00:38:51Just drive.
00:38:52I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:08Now I just want to breathe
00:39:09without her shadow.
00:39:12Seriously?
00:39:14Stay down.
00:39:15I know.
00:39:15Why is he down?
00:39:16Oh!
00:39:17I'm not going to call the doctor.
00:39:19Okay?
00:39:19What are you doing?
00:39:23I thought you were hurt.
00:39:24I think I'll pull through.
00:39:32So what are you doing?
00:39:34I've always wanted to.
00:39:36Come on.
00:39:37I know you want this.
00:39:38I see the way you look at me.
00:39:40Now that Daniel's gone,
00:39:42we have the house to ourself,
00:39:43I can finally have you
00:39:45in this bedroom.
00:39:46What am I doing?
00:39:57Daniel is still injured.
00:40:00He should be home.
00:40:03Sabrina?
00:40:04Listen, get off.
00:40:16What?
00:40:17Babe, we can finally...
00:40:19Come on.
00:40:19I said get off.
00:40:21What?
00:40:22I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:23No, forget about him.
00:40:25Look, I love Jackson
00:40:27and I'm ready to be the man
00:40:29that you've always wanted.
00:40:30I'm ready to be a dad
00:40:32to that little boy.
00:40:34I mean, come on.
00:40:35Sabrina, your son,
00:40:36your mother,
00:40:38even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:40What?
00:40:41Look,
00:40:42he's already moved on.
00:40:45No.
00:40:46No.
00:40:47What have I done?
00:40:49Where is he?
00:40:51What about me?
00:40:52You had your chance
00:40:53ten years ago.
00:40:54I need to go take care
00:40:56of my husband.
00:41:03Hello?
00:41:04Excuse me.
00:41:06Excuse me.
00:41:07Hi.
00:41:07Have you seen my husband?
00:41:10Please.
00:41:10He was the one bleeding out.
00:41:12I saw him stumble outside
00:41:13holding his head
00:41:14after he spoke
00:41:15to some older woman.
00:41:16He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:19Oh, no.
00:41:21Come on, Daniel.
00:41:22Where are you?
00:41:23I'm sorry,
00:41:24but the number
00:41:25you are trying to reach
00:41:26is no longer in service.
00:41:28Please try again later.
00:41:30What have I done?
00:41:41Come on, Daniel.
00:41:43Answer me.
00:41:44He's not gone.
00:41:51I know Daniel
00:41:52wouldn't leave me.
00:42:02He loves me too much
00:42:03to abandon me
00:42:04when I need him the most.
00:42:06No.
00:42:09It's not possible.
00:42:12He will be back.
00:42:14No.
00:42:15No.
00:42:26Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:28Climb zero,
00:42:29Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:30The waves all spousal support.
00:42:33No.
00:42:34No, he can't leave me.
00:42:36He can't do this to me.
00:42:38I won't sign off on it.
00:42:39No.
00:42:48No.
00:42:49All this time,
00:42:52he's gonna leave me?
00:42:54It can't be.
00:43:11It's not a...
00:43:12Honestly,
00:43:13it doesn't matter.
00:43:14My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:16He loves me.
00:43:18He loves Jackson.
00:43:20He wouldn't just leave us.
00:43:22We're his family.
00:43:24After all these years,
00:43:25everything we've been through...
00:43:27I got you.
00:43:50Don't let me go!
00:43:52Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:59Daniel?
00:44:00No, it's Mom.
00:44:01Is everything okay?
00:44:03You sound panicked?
00:44:03Mom!
00:44:06Mom!
00:44:07Daniel!
00:44:08He just left us!
00:44:11Do you know where he is?
00:44:14We have to find him.
00:44:15We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:17Oh, honey.
00:44:19It's over.
00:44:20Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:23You knew?
00:44:24I'll come over in the morning
00:44:25and explain everything.
00:44:34I'm hungry!
00:44:37Dad!
00:44:38Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:41Jackson?
00:44:44I have something to tell you.
00:44:47Your dad.
00:44:50Your dad.
00:44:52He's left us.
00:44:54I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:57Yay!
00:44:57He's gone!
00:44:58He's gone!
00:45:00Why would you say that?
00:45:02He was so embarrassing!
00:45:03Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:45:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:45:06What did Preston say?
00:45:08He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:45:10should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:45:12than raising a young man.
00:45:15He was so lame and boring.
00:45:17Now he's gone!
00:45:19Mr. Eastwood is way cooler!
00:45:21He can be my new dad!
00:45:23Jackson!
00:45:24You have a dad!
00:45:25And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:36Hello?
00:45:36Hello?
00:45:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:44Large thumbs have been wired to someone named
00:45:47Preston Eastwood.
00:45:49Was that done with your approval?
00:45:50No.
00:45:51But I'm not surprised.
00:45:53Flag his name.
00:45:54I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:58Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:46:02Okay?
00:46:02He's not the man you think he is.
00:46:05Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:46:08And we need to find him at all costs.
00:46:12What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:14Huh?
00:46:15It's despicable.
00:46:17I can't do this anymore.
00:46:19I cancel everything.
00:46:21The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:23I don't want to be seen.
00:46:26I can't pretend.
00:46:28I just want him back.
00:46:30Oh, honey.
00:46:32It's time to let him go.
00:46:34You don't love him anyway.
00:46:36And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:42What?
00:46:43How could you say something like that?
00:46:46Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:48He cares for me.
00:46:50He sees me.
00:46:50He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:55But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:59Daniel's my husband.
00:47:00And the father of my son.
00:47:02Yeah, some husband.
00:47:04Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:47:05Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:47:09Contract?
00:47:11What contract?
00:47:12What are you talking about?
00:47:18Forget it.
00:47:19Forget it.
00:47:20Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:22When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:27Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:30Please.
00:47:30I just want the truth.
00:47:32Mom.
00:47:34Fine.
00:47:36I will tell you the truth.
00:47:38But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:40I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:46But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:51When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:55I had to save you.
00:47:57She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:48:00You've always been there for her.
00:48:02From film school to now.
00:48:04I've seen it.
00:48:06She needs you.
00:48:07Stay.
00:48:08Marry her.
00:48:09Love her.
00:48:11So that she's never alone again.
00:48:19It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:22How could you do this to me?
00:48:25I wanted to protect you.
00:48:27You wanted to control me.
00:48:28All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:32Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:33You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:41Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:43He kept you together.
00:48:45Where?
00:48:46Where did he go?
00:48:47I know he told you where he went.
00:48:50Where is he?
00:48:51You can do better than him.
00:48:53You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:57Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:59No.
00:49:00He can't be gone.
00:49:01He can't.
00:49:02Yes.
00:49:03He is gone and he is gone forever.
00:49:06He can't be.
00:49:07He can't be gone.
00:49:08He can't.
00:49:09I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of how Detainment Silver Fox has already generated
00:49:34a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:38Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:45Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:49What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:52Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:55Nobody told me how.
00:49:56Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:59I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:50:01Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making and I've been very honest
00:50:08about it, actually.
00:50:08I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:50:10But London, London lit the fire under me and I feel like I found my voice and it really
00:50:17is full steam ahead.
00:50:19Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:50:22back to Hollywood?
00:50:26Hollywood.
00:50:28Get out of the country.
00:50:29If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life
00:50:35a living hell.
00:50:39Daniel?
00:50:40He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:57Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:51:04That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:51:09actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:51:13Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:17We'll never tell.
00:51:21Oh my God, thanks for saving me.
00:51:23She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:25I know, jeez.
00:51:27This is so surreal.
00:51:28I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:51:30I can.
00:51:31The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:36Daniel, enjoy this and get used to compliments.
00:51:42There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:44Fuck.
00:51:45Finish me.
00:51:45I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:47You okay?
00:51:51You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:53I know, it's, um, we'll have it.
00:51:56Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:52:00Some of us just got a head start.
00:52:13Matthew, our press is good press.
00:52:17Daniel becomes an award-winning director
00:52:23and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:28He can't do this to me!
00:52:30Sabrina, you don't need him.
00:52:33Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:35How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:38Move on?
00:52:39Please, honey.
00:52:41He is using her.
00:52:43Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:45He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:48How could you say that?
00:52:50I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:54He's proving that to the whole world!
00:52:56Don't you see it?
00:52:57Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:53:00A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:53:05Melanie's not whining.
00:53:07And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:53:11You have everything.
00:53:13I don't have him.
00:53:16Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:17Go have the chef make something.
00:53:19No, I hate what she cooks and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:22Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:24Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:26He's your dad.
00:53:27No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:30Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:33It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:35When did he get so cruel?
00:53:38You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:41A doormat.
00:53:43Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:45Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:46Enough, you little shit!
00:53:50Enough!
00:53:51Just enough!
00:53:52Sabrina, what's gotten into you?
00:53:55Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:59Whoa, what's going on in here?
00:54:01This room feels really tense.
00:54:03Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:54:05I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:54:07No, I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:54:10And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:54:14It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:20Hey, baby.
00:54:21Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:54:24Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:26Really?
00:54:26Loser?
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:28You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:31And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:40That's really, really low.
00:54:42Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:47Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:54:49To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:53Face it, Preston.
00:54:54You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:57And you're a fucking thief.
00:55:00Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:55:01You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:55:04I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:55:07Because you know what?
00:55:08Honestly, I pity you.
00:55:10It's not like that.
00:55:11Okay?
00:55:12Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:14I want to marry you.
00:55:16We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:18What's my birthday?
00:55:20Huh?
00:55:21What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:23What's my favorite color?
00:55:24My favorite song?
00:55:25Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:28Oh, oh, wait.
00:55:29What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:31You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:34You don't love me.
00:55:35You don't even know me.
00:55:37This isn't a relationship.
00:55:39This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:41And you know what?
00:55:42I'm done.
00:55:44Get out.
00:55:45I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:47We're over.
00:55:48We're over.
00:55:50What?
00:55:50No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:51Please, please, I love you.
00:55:53Just, just think about it.
00:55:54Think of the press.
00:55:55What this will look like?
00:55:56If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:56:01Get out.
00:56:02Hey, just.
00:56:02Now.
00:56:03Just give me your hand.
00:56:04Come on.
00:56:05No.
00:56:05I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:56:09Nobody sees the real me.
00:56:10I see you, Sabrina.
00:56:12I see all of you.
00:56:15And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:18He truly knew me.
00:56:21He loved me.
00:56:23Every flaw.
00:56:25Every fear.
00:56:26Contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:56:30I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:32Saved me?
00:56:34You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:37Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:39And he saved me from you.
00:56:42Security!
00:56:44Security!
00:56:46Come on.
00:56:46Just let's talk about this.
00:56:47No.
00:56:48Come on.
00:56:49Celeste, do something.
00:56:51Sabrina!
00:56:52Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:54Was that really necessary?
00:56:56I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:57:00Is that all you care about?
00:57:02The fame?
00:57:03The headlines?
00:57:04The brand deals?
00:57:06God!
00:57:07You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:57:11Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:14Of course I care about you.
00:57:16I love you.
00:57:18Then prove it.
00:57:20If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:24You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:39I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:41In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:46I mean, you know this.
00:57:48You're a legend.
00:57:49I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:51All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:52You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:55I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:57I got projects.
00:57:58Come on.
00:57:59You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets
00:58:03made in L.A., not London.
00:58:05That's where you belong.
00:58:06To be honest, I already did all right.
00:58:09It didn't really end well.
00:58:11Let me guess.
00:58:12A girl?
00:58:13If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:18You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:21You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:25You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:26Three-picture deal.
00:58:28$200 million budget each.
00:58:29Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:32I don't know what to say.
00:58:33Just say yes.
00:58:34You have my number.
00:58:34Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:38Just remember, Daniel, you can't run away from the past.
00:58:41You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:54Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:57Can we talk?
00:58:59Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:59:02Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:59:08Is this a personal story?
00:59:10Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:59:13Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:17Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:19You arrogant little shit.
00:59:25I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:34It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:35I need a favor.
00:59:37I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:40Okay, thank you.
00:59:43It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:47Mom, what are you doing?
00:59:52Did you just break my TV?
00:59:54Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:58You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:59You've been so kind, though.
01:00:01Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:00:06He's back.
01:00:08Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:10Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:00:13I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:16I need to get on that movie.
01:00:18Absolutely not.
01:00:19You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:20If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:24Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:26He still loves me.
01:00:29He has to.
01:00:31I just need to talk to him.
01:00:34Let him go.
01:00:37Mom.
01:00:39Honey, I...
01:00:41You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:44I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:49I love you.
01:00:50I love you, too.
01:00:54There you go.
01:00:57This is, um...
01:00:58It's another movie deal.
01:01:00I'll tell you about it after.
01:01:01Okay.
01:01:03Okay.
01:01:03Did you get his location?
01:01:19The Oaks.
01:01:208 p.m.
01:01:21After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:27He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:29She's not protecting me.
01:01:40She's protecting her business.
01:01:42And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:44But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:46It's so nice having you back.
01:01:50And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:52Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:54A couple?
01:01:56Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:02:00If you can even call them that.
01:02:01But you're healthy now.
01:02:03And I'm at the top of my career.
01:02:05I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make
01:02:09it work.
01:02:10The marriage, the kids.
01:02:12I mean, we really tried.
01:02:14I thought I could make it go for it.
01:02:15But, um, it's over.
01:02:18It's over.
01:02:20I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston DeSwoot can offer.
01:02:31Oh, you haven't heard?
01:02:34She dumped him.
01:02:36It was all over People magazine.
01:02:37She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:41Oh, my God.
01:02:42What?
01:02:45Daniel.
01:02:51Stop.
01:02:59Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:03:01I'm here to help you.
01:03:03Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:03:06Let's go home.
01:03:07Sabrina?
01:03:08How could you?
01:03:08I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:03:13I begged and pleaded.
01:03:15Stop lying.
01:03:16I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:20And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin
01:03:25him.
01:03:26My God.
01:03:27You're disgusting.
01:03:28I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:30Not anymore.
01:03:30Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:36I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:39I'm your mother.
01:03:41I only want what's best for you.
01:03:44What's best for me?
01:03:47You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:51That all ends today.
01:03:57You're fired.
01:03:59Fired.
01:04:01No.
01:04:04No.
01:04:08No.
01:04:09You can't do this to me.
01:04:11Please.
01:04:12Please, sweetie.
01:04:13I have dedicated my life to you.
01:04:14You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:18I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:22You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:25There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:28I made you.
01:04:30You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:34I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:42We're done here, Mom.
01:04:43If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:52Without another word.
01:05:03I have something to say.
01:05:07I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:10I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:05:13I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:17I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:26Apologize to your father.
01:05:28Do I have to?
01:05:30Who raised you?
01:05:33Cared for you?
01:05:35Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:39Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:43He did.
01:05:44He loved you.
01:05:45But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:47I was wrong.
01:05:49Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:54And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:58I'm sorry, Dad.
01:06:03It's gonna be okay, son.
01:06:05I still love you.
01:06:05Come on, Jackson.
01:06:08Let's go.
01:06:15I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:18For everything.
01:06:19I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:19For everything.
01:06:19I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:30You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:32No.
01:06:33I just didn't know it'd be this hard.
01:06:37They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:40They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:47People can change.
01:06:48But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:55And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:07:00Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:07:12Yes.
01:07:13I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:18But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:20I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:31Way to go, John!
01:07:50Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:54We'll keep in touch.
01:08:01How many more do we have today?
01:08:0340, sir.
01:08:04Jeez.
01:08:04Yay, boy!
01:08:06How are we looking?
01:08:07We're still digging.
01:08:09No one's cracked the lead yet.
01:08:12I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:08:15Here's the deal.
01:08:16The studio is on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:20Today?
01:08:21Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:23That's why I love you, man.
01:08:24Cool under pressure.
01:08:25This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:08:31Oh, my God.
01:08:32All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:33Ah.
01:08:34That would be...
01:08:36Emily Blake.
01:08:40Emily.
01:08:44Emily.
01:08:46Amazing, as always.
01:08:47You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:51Please.
01:08:52I wasn't going to miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:57How's LA treating you?
01:08:58Oh, my God.
01:09:00Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:09:02But I am...
01:09:03I'm glad to be back.
01:09:06Well, it's no English countryside.
01:09:07Yeah.
01:09:08But it suits you.
01:09:11You definitely belong here.
01:09:16I do miss you, though.
01:09:18It was fun.
01:09:19Playing the part.
01:09:21British starlet.
01:09:22American director.
01:09:23I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:29Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:31I'm sorry, Halloween.
01:09:32Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:37You...
01:09:37You were amazing, as always.
01:09:40It's just...
01:09:41It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:46I never was, was I?
01:09:48Anyways...
01:09:49Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:53Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:55Yeah.
01:09:55Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:10:09Go get one for yourself, too.
01:10:12And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:19Oh, my God.
01:10:20What am I going to do?
01:10:25What are you doing here?
01:10:41I came to audition.
01:10:45Did you bring any representation?
01:10:47No.
01:10:48I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:52I'm starting fresh.
01:10:54Right, um...
01:10:55Hi.
01:10:59I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:11:03Don't let me go!
01:11:04I got you.
01:11:06I'll never let you go.
01:11:09Are you okay?
01:11:10Yeah.
01:11:11It's an old wound that, um...
01:11:13never really healed.
01:11:17I understand.
01:11:22Daniel Johnson.
01:11:22Nice to meet you.
01:11:28Please.
01:11:37Are you ready?
01:11:38Yes.
01:11:54I can't pay you.
01:11:54I can't say.
01:12:00But anyway...
01:12:01What?
01:12:02Here?
01:12:02What about you?
