00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:21Stay back. I mean it.
00:08:23Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:43No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:47I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:49No, let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:58I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:01Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:05I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:09Good to see ya!
00:09:10Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:11Oh, two months.
00:09:12Look at you!
00:09:13Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:15Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:16Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:17Are you kidding?
00:09:18Oh, Daniel, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit.
00:09:19But you don't mind, right?
00:09:20Oh, there he is!
00:09:21The assistant!
00:09:22I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:26God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:30Stop!
00:09:31I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:36Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:39Daniel!
00:09:40Oh.
00:09:41Don't embarrass me.
00:09:42No, it's fine.
00:09:43I'm sorry.
00:09:44Whoa!
00:09:45You played with me.
00:09:46What?
00:09:47I'm sorry.
00:09:48You played with me.
00:09:49I'm sorry.
00:09:50It's fine.
00:09:51I'm sorry.
00:09:52I'm sorry.
00:09:53I'm sorry.
00:09:54I'm sorry.
00:09:55I'm sorry.
00:09:56I'm sorry.
00:09:57I got it.
00:09:58Whoa, you? Played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:07My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it. He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:11Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of Dad's rules. What do you say, huh?
00:10:15Yeah.
00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20That's fine. That's fine. Just relax, okay? Be nice.
00:10:28Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:42Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:54Ooh, careful. You all right?
00:10:57I'm still starving. Make me some food.
00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:06Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:08I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:11Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:14I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21What?
00:11:22Oh, babe? For real?
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:24My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:27Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:29I'm rich.
00:11:30Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:34I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:39See, Daniel, that was always your problem. You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:42You realize that's why no one bought your scripts. They were so dull.
00:11:45Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:48Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant? My treat.
00:11:58Here we go.
00:11:59What?
00:12:00Yeah.
00:12:01Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:03All of you insist. I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06Okay.
00:12:07Oh.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:09Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:12:14Anyways.
00:12:15Come on, Ben. Let's go.
00:12:17That's great.
00:12:18Gotcha.
00:12:19There we go.
00:12:20Oh.
00:12:21There's Paps.
00:12:23You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:30You're right.
00:12:31It is the last time.
00:12:34You guys.
00:12:36Hi.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:38Jackson.
00:12:44Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:51It's over.
00:12:52Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:56I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:00After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:20Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:22She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:28Sabrina Donovan.
00:13:29I could scream.
00:13:30I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:32Preston Eastwood.
00:13:33I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.
00:13:36Oh, gee.
00:13:37I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:39A scene that I wrote.
00:13:41Uncredited, of course.
00:13:42Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:44Wait.
00:13:45Are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually.
00:13:47This is totally a date.
00:13:48All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:57Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:13:59You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:02Your brand?
00:14:03It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:05You get it.
00:14:06Right?
00:14:15So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18It's okay, babe.
00:14:19We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:29This is so going viral.
00:14:31I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:33It looks like more than dating.
00:14:35Is this your son?
00:14:36I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:39Don't be silly.
00:14:40You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:43That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:45He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:48But Preston is awesome.
00:14:51He's an action spy.
00:14:52I wish he was my dad.
00:14:55My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:58Well, we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:15:00when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party
00:15:03with a call girl.
00:15:04It's okay, buddy.
00:15:05Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:07If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:10That is if Mom's cool with it.
00:15:12Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:14Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:16Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:20Come on.
00:15:21Let's give him a show.
00:15:28Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:42I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:44Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:51Daniel!
00:15:52You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:55And the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:59Daniel, he's here?
00:16:01Did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:03Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:04I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:06I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:07Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:09Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:13Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:15Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:17Jackson, enough.
00:16:20What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then.
00:16:23Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:25I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:32You're really good at that.
00:16:33Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:37A one-way ticket.
00:16:39So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:42I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:47I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:50Daniel loves me.
00:16:51He has to understand.
00:16:53This is Hollywood.
00:16:54It's just part of the job.
00:16:57Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:04Daniel, what is this?
00:17:07I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:09All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:14Honey!
00:17:15Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:17We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:20Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:22A vacation?
00:17:23Finally.
00:17:24You're paying attention.
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:27I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:17:28Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:30What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:33Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:34That's not what I meant.
00:17:35Whoa.
00:17:36Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:38That's fine.
00:17:39Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:42Just like any good husband would.
00:17:44Oh, I see.
00:17:46Is it me?
00:17:47Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:49I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:51I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:53You know what?
00:17:54Maybe I should go.
00:17:55I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:57No, please stay.
00:17:58I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:02No, you know what?
00:18:03I'll go.
00:18:05And clearly she wants you.
00:18:06I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:07Daniel, wait.
00:18:10I won't ever let you go.
00:18:12He won't leave.
00:18:13He promised.
00:18:14It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:16We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:18I'm going to go back.
00:18:23Daniel!
00:18:27Oh, please.
00:18:28Better than yours.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:31Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:33Oh!
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:36You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:42It's fun.
00:18:44What?
00:18:45Don't look at me like that.
00:18:46I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:49Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:53How lucky for him.
00:18:55He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:58Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:02Listen, Matt.
00:19:04I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:07You can trust me.
00:19:10Preston, I think you're drunk.
00:19:13You need to go right now.
00:19:14All right.
00:19:17Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:20When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:25I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:29Just ignore him. He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:32No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:35Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:37Jealous?
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:42Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:47You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:51That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:00Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:04Oh my God.
00:20:06God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:11Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:15No, it's not like that. I...
00:20:18What?
00:20:19You know what? Fine.
00:20:24You two look great together.
00:20:26Daniel, I...
00:20:39And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:46Um...
00:20:49I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:54Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:58I was never the homemaker.
00:21:03Please, Daniel.
00:21:04I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:20If you're sick, can you go in the other room? I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:29Look at her now. Playing house for another man. If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:47There he is. God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m. Man. No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout. Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:02Got some. Yeah. What do you need? Oh, oh. Yeah, there you go. I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:17Yeah, this shit's straight up protein. Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:32Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:39You're not? A grown man that needs a babysitter? Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:48It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:22:52What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:03Mr. Eastwood! I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me! And it's unfair!
00:23:09That's a shame, huh? You know what? Let me grab it for you, little man. Here we go.
00:23:14Ooh!
00:23:15No, it's... not to play with them.
00:23:18You never let me do anything!
00:23:22Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel. You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:27It's not about the money. It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:31Unfortunately, he's surrounded by... bad examples.
00:23:35Yeah? What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:38You're so annoying!
00:23:40Don't push!
00:23:42Don't push!
00:23:47I said don't push. Go get a book or something.
00:23:49Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:51He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:54God, what the hell is he just showing me?
00:23:56Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:01He's not your kid.
00:24:03I wish I was! I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:08I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:11Ouch! I mean, you just heard your son. So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?
00:24:15Maybe it will be. But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:20You?
00:24:22Man of the house? Please. You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:25I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:29You're a washed up pack! Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:32How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:35I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:24:37I'm a fucking star!
00:24:39A star? A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:42Jackson, come on. I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:46No, I'm not going! Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:50Preston! Preston! Preston!
00:25:12You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:18What was that?
00:25:22Let's go!
00:25:25Daniel!
00:25:27What is happening?
00:25:29It was Dad, Mom! Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:32What?
00:25:33I'm so scared!
00:25:34He died pretty good, babe.
00:25:35What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:36I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:37I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:39What? I didn't?
00:25:40Ew! What the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:42You're acting like a jealous child!
00:25:45I thought you were bigger than this petty shit!
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me!
00:25:48It's just a fucking fish tank! Grow up!
00:25:51Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:53What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:55What? Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:25:59Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:01No! Oh my God!
00:26:04He's lying!
00:26:05You're a monster!
00:26:08And in front of your son?
00:26:10You have to be kidding!
00:26:11We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:12Yeah.
00:26:14We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:17Come on. Clean this up!
00:26:20Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:24Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:26:27Hello, 9-1-1. What's your emergency?
00:26:38I'm bleeding out.
00:26:39I think I hit an artery.
00:26:41I need an ambulance now.
00:26:43Now!
00:26:44You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.
00:26:59To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:05Uh... yeah. Pretty obvious.
00:27:09Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:11I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:17With Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:23I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:26You said, um, couple?
00:27:29I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:27:33She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:38She was so sweet.
00:27:39You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:46No, it's...
00:27:48It's an old wound.
00:27:50I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:53Daniel!
00:27:55Sweet and caring.
00:27:58So Preston's found the WiFi I always wanted.
00:28:00He only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:09Fuck!
00:28:11Fuck!
00:28:12Let me go get my shit out of y'all.
00:28:13Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me. You once liked my short film. I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:21It needs the right producer. I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:34Where have you been? I kept calling. I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:42Huh?
00:28:43What? I've been busy.
00:28:48Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:51Seriously? Why does it always have to come back to him? I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:57Yeah. That's what you want to call it?
00:29:00I... I just... I'm sorry. I... bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:13It is what it is.
00:29:15But I mean, you know how the industry works. You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:23And I think you should go for it. I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:27But... I just... I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:35Seriously. I... I care about you.
00:29:42I'm no man.
00:29:44I've known you for 14 years. I know when you're angry.
00:29:48Really? I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:50I pay attention? Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:54She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:58That's all this marriage ever was to her. A headline. A performance.
00:30:04Sabrina.
00:30:08Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:09You know what? I hate fighting. So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:13I was thinking... we could revisit your script.
00:30:20I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:23You tell me you finally read it?
00:30:25Well, yeah. The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:29The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:33I mean, we have to do this. Me and you. The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:37I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:42A long time ago.
00:30:45Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:52Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:54There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:57I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:01Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:04Fine.
00:31:18I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful.
00:31:25Well, if I had a lot of experience making it for you, I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:30That's not what I meant.
00:31:32I like it when you make it.
00:31:36I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:40I knew it.
00:31:42You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:44I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:48God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:52Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:56It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:58No, Daniel.
00:32:00No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:07Look what you made me do.
00:32:09Just leave it.
00:32:12I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:14And what?
00:32:16It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:19I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:21And look what I get for it.
00:32:23You know what?
00:32:24Forget it.
00:32:25I have a mirror.
00:32:26We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:28What?
00:32:43Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:46Yeah. Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:47Not quite.
00:32:48That was the divorce contract.
00:32:50But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:32:55This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:56Remember that.
00:32:57I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:32:59I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:15Oh, please. She's always been so secretive.
00:33:18I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:33:21Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:24I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:29Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:32Come here.
00:33:36Jackson! We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:40Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?
00:33:44She's with Mr. Eastwood. He's been staying with us.
00:33:47Really?
00:33:49Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:52Oh, I hope so. I really hope so.
00:33:54He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:33:57Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:01Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:10What are you doing here? You never come to these things.
00:34:14Well, that's gotta be the husband.
00:34:17Get lost! You embarrass us!
00:34:19Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.
00:34:21I wish you never were my dad!
00:34:27Is there a problem?
00:34:33Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:38If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:42I wish Preston was my dad. You're a pathetic loser!
00:34:45Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:47You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:52I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:53That's not what I see.
00:34:54You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:07Doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.
00:35:09And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:14This was all a stunt, wasn't it?
00:35:16You were revolting. No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:20Hey.
00:35:22Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:24Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:28Yeah. Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:30Oh, yeah? What lesson's that, Preston?
00:35:32You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:36Hmm.
00:35:40Oh!
00:35:49What the hell?
00:36:00What happened?
00:36:02Oh, my God! Daniel!
00:36:04What the hell happened?
00:36:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:08Are you okay?
00:36:10Look at her go.
00:36:12Hollywood's finest.
00:36:14Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:16It's Daniel. He's a monster.
00:36:18He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:21Mommy! Dad came in here and started shouting at me!
00:36:25No. No, that's not true.
00:36:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:36Daniel, is that true?
00:36:40Sabrina.
00:36:41Oh!
00:36:44Yeah, I think he got me in the ribs.
00:36:47I think one of them's broken.
00:36:49Sabrina? Honey?
00:36:51We need to help Preston.
00:36:55But Daniel!
00:36:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:12Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:15I...
00:37:17I have...
00:37:18I have to help Preston.
00:37:33Come on, Jackson.
00:37:34Come on.
00:37:39Daniel!
00:37:41I got you.
00:37:42Don't let me go!
00:37:44She's made her choice.
00:37:46There's no going back.
00:37:47We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:53Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:04Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:07I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:09There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:12Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:15In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:18If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:38:23I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:24Don't worry about it. Just drive.
00:38:39Don't worry about it. Just drive.
00:38:41I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:56Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:00Seriously?
00:39:02Just lay down.
00:39:03I don't know what you did.
00:39:06I'm gonna go call the doctor, okay?
00:39:08What are you doing? I thought you were hurt.
00:39:13I think I'll pull through.
00:39:21Russell, what are you doing?
00:39:23I've always wanted to.
00:39:25Come on. I know you want this.
00:39:26I see the way you look at me.
00:39:28And now that Daniel's gone.
00:39:30We have the house to ourself.
00:39:32I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:38What am I doing?
00:39:45Daniel is still injured.
00:39:47He should be home.
00:39:51Sabrina?
00:39:52Preston, get off.
00:40:04What? Babe, we can finally...
00:40:07I said get off.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:11No, forget about him.
00:40:12Look, I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:40:18I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:40:22I mean, come on.
00:40:23Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:40:26Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:29Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:31No.
00:40:35No.
00:40:36What have I done?
00:40:38Where is he?
00:40:39What about me?
00:40:40You had your chance ten years ago.
00:40:43I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:51Hello?
00:40:53Excuse me.
00:40:54Excuse me.
00:40:55Hi.
00:40:56Have you seen my husband?
00:40:58Please, he was someone bleeding out.
00:41:00I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:04He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:08Oh, no.
00:41:10Daniel, where are you?
00:41:12I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:41:16Please try again later.
00:41:18What have I done?
00:41:19Come on.
00:41:30Come on, Daniel.
00:41:31Answer me.
00:41:38He's not gone.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:50He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:54No.
00:41:58It's not possible.
00:41:59He will be back.
00:42:02No.
00:42:14Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:16Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:18The waves all spousal support.
00:42:20No.
00:42:21No.
00:42:22No.
00:42:23He can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me.
00:42:25I won't sign off on him.
00:42:36No.
00:42:38All this time?
00:42:40He's gonna leave me?
00:42:41Leave me?
00:42:56It can't be.
00:42:59It's not us.
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:43:01My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:04He loves me.
00:43:06He loves Jackson.
00:43:08He wouldn't just leave us.
00:43:09We're his family.
00:43:11After all these years, everything we've been through.
00:43:37I got you.
00:43:38Don't let me go.
00:43:41Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:47Daniel?
00:43:48No, it's mom.
00:43:49Is everything okay?
00:43:50You sound panicked.
00:43:51Mom.
00:43:53Mom.
00:43:55Daniel.
00:43:57He just left us.
00:43:59Do you know where he is?
00:44:02We have to find him.
00:44:03We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:05Oh, honey.
00:44:07It's over.
00:44:08Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:10You knew?
00:44:12I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:15I'm hungry.
00:44:24Dad!
00:44:25Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:29I have something to tell you.
00:44:30I have something to tell you.
00:44:35Your dad.
00:44:38Your dad.
00:44:40He's left us.
00:44:42I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:45Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:47Why would you say that?
00:44:49He was so embarrassing. Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:52Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:54What did Preston say?
00:44:56He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets, then raising a young man.
00:45:02He was so lame and boring.
00:45:05Now he's gone!
00:45:07Mr. Eastwood is way cooler!
00:45:09He can be my new dad!
00:45:11Jackson!
00:45:12You have a dad!
00:45:14And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:16Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:24Hello?
00:45:25Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:27Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:28I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:31I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:33Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:36Was that done with your approval?
00:45:38No. But I'm not surprised.
00:45:40Flag his name.
00:45:42I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:45Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:49Okay?
00:45:51He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:53Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:55And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:59What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:02It's despicable.
00:46:04I can't do this anymore.
00:46:06I cancel everything.
00:46:08The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:11I don't want to be seen.
00:46:13I can't pretend.
00:46:15I just want him back.
00:46:16I just want him back.
00:46:17Oh, honey.
00:46:19It's time to let him go.
00:46:21You don't love him anyway.
00:46:23And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:29What?
00:46:31How could you say something like that?
00:46:33Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:35He cares for me.
00:46:37He sees me.
00:46:38He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:41But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:45Daniel's my husband.
00:46:47And the father of my son.
00:46:49Yeah, some husband.
00:46:51Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:52Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:46:55Contract?
00:46:58What contract?
00:47:00What are you talking about?
00:47:05Forget it.
00:47:07Forget it.
00:47:08Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:10When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day,
00:47:13you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:15Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:17Please.
00:47:18I just want the truth.
00:47:20Mom.
00:47:22Fine.
00:47:24I will tell you the truth.
00:47:26But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:29I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:33But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:39When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:42I had to save you.
00:47:44She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:48You've always been there for her.
00:47:50From film school to now.
00:47:52I've seen it.
00:47:54She needs you.
00:47:55Stay.
00:47:56Marry her.
00:47:57So that she's never alone again.
00:48:06It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:10How could you do this to me?
00:48:12I wanted to protect you.
00:48:14You wanted to control me.
00:48:16All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:19Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:24You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:28Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:31He kept you together.
00:48:33Where? Where did he go?
00:48:35I know he told you where he went.
00:48:37Where is he?
00:48:38You can do better than him.
00:48:40You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:48:42Hollywood starlet.
00:48:44Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:46No!
00:48:47He can't be gone!
00:48:48He can't!
00:48:49Yes!
00:48:50He is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:48:53He can't be!
00:48:54He can't be gone!
00:48:55He can't!
00:48:56He can't be gone!
00:49:16I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of Howe, the Tame of Silver Fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:23Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:31Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:36What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:38Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shteed.
00:49:42Nobody told me how.
00:49:44Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:47I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:48Uh, yeah.
00:49:50God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:49:55I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:57But London?
00:49:59London lit the fire under me.
00:50:01And I feel like I've found my voice, and it really is.
00:50:04Full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:10Hollywood.
00:50:12Hollywood.
00:50:14Get out of the country.
00:50:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:50:25Daniel?
00:50:26He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:44Daniel is a true auteur, and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:50That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:03We'll never tell.
00:51:07Oh my God, thanks for saving me.
00:51:10She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:11I know, jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal.
00:51:14I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:51:16I can.
00:51:18The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:22Daniel.
00:51:24Enjoy this.
00:51:26And get used to compliments.
00:51:28There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:30Fuck.
00:51:31Finish me, I know.
00:51:32I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:35You okay?
00:51:37You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:39I know, it's, um...
00:51:41We'll have it.
00:51:42Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:46Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:59Matthew.
00:52:01Our press is good press.
00:52:02Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:13Ugh.
00:52:15He can't do this to me.
00:52:17Sabrina.
00:52:18You don't need him.
00:52:19Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:21How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:24Move on?
00:52:26Please, honey.
00:52:27He is using her.
00:52:29Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hm?
00:52:32He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:34How could you say that?
00:52:36I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:40He's proving that to the whole world!
00:52:42Don't you see it?
00:52:43Sabrina.
00:52:45Look at what you've got.
00:52:47A celebrated career.
00:52:48A mansion in the hills.
00:52:50An adorable kid.
00:52:52Well, and he's not whining.
00:52:54And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:56Your dream man.
00:52:57You have everything.
00:52:59I don't.
00:53:00Have.
00:53:01Him.
00:53:02Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:03Go have the chef make something.
00:53:05No, I hate what she cooks.
00:53:06And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:08Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:10Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:12He's your dad.
00:53:13No!
00:53:14Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:16Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:19It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:21When did he get so cruel?
00:53:23You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:26A doormat.
00:53:28Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:32Enough!
00:53:33You little shit!
00:53:36Enough!
00:53:37Just enough!
00:53:39Sabrina?
00:53:40What's gotten into you?
00:53:42Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:45Whoa.
00:53:46What's going on here?
00:53:47This room feels really tense.
00:53:49Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:51I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:53No!
00:53:54I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:56And if you keep talking like that, I'm gonna put you in a time out.
00:54:00It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:54:06Hey, baby.
00:54:08Are you really gonna get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:11Really?
00:54:12Loser?
00:54:13Yeah.
00:54:14You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:17And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:26That's really, really low.
00:54:28Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:33Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:54:35To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:38Face it, Preston.
00:54:40You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:43And you're a fucking thief!
00:54:45Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:47You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:50I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:53Because you know what?
00:54:54Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:55It's not like that, okay?
00:54:57Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:00I want to marry you.
00:55:01We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:04What's my birthday?
00:55:05Huh?
00:55:06What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:08What's my favorite color?
00:55:09My favorite song?
00:55:10Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:13Oh, oh wait.
00:55:14What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:16You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:19You don't love me.
00:55:20You don't even know me.
00:55:22This isn't a relationship.
00:55:24This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:27And you know what?
00:55:28I'm done.
00:55:29Get out!
00:55:30I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:35We're over.
00:55:36No, babe, babe.
00:55:37Come on, please.
00:55:38Please, I love you.
00:55:39Just think about it.
00:55:40Look at the press.
00:55:41What this will look like?
00:55:43If I have to call my security,
00:55:45all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:47Get out.
00:55:48Babe, just...
00:55:49Now!
00:55:50Just give me your hand.
00:55:51No.
00:55:52I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:53Nobody sees the real me.
00:55:56I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:58I see all of you.
00:56:00And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:56:03He truly knew me.
00:56:06He loved me.
00:56:08Every flaw.
00:56:10Every fear.
00:56:11Contract or not.
00:56:13He truly loved me.
00:56:16I saved you from social suicide!
00:56:18Saved me?
00:56:19You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:22Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:25And he saved me from you.
00:56:28Security!
00:56:31Security!
00:56:32Come on.
00:56:33Just let's talk about this.
00:56:34No.
00:56:35Come on.
00:56:36Celeste!
00:56:37Do something!
00:56:38Sabrina!
00:56:39Come on!
00:56:40Sabrina!
00:56:41You're really necessary.
00:56:42I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:46Is that all you care about?
00:56:48The fame?
00:56:49The headlines?
00:56:50The brand deals?
00:56:51God!
00:56:52You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager!
00:56:57Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:00Of course I care about you.
00:57:03I love you.
00:57:04Then prove it.
00:57:05If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:10You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee, I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:27In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:32I mean, you know this.
00:57:34You're a legend.
00:57:35I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:37Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:38You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:41I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing alright.
00:57:43I got projects.
00:57:44Come on!
00:57:45You're built for billion-dollar franchises!
00:57:47Hollywood blockbusters!
00:57:48The one that gets made in LA, not London!
00:57:50That's where you belong!
00:57:53To be honest, I already did LA.
00:57:55It didn't really end well.
00:57:57Let me guess.
00:57:58A girl?
00:57:59If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:04You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:07You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:11You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:12Three picture deal.
00:58:13Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:58:15Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:17I don't know what to say.
00:58:18Just say yes.
00:58:19You have my number.
00:58:21Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:23Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:24You can't run away from the past.
00:58:26You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:34Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:42Can we talk?
00:58:43Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:48Of course.
00:58:49It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:54Is this a personal story?
00:58:56Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:59Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:03Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:08You arrogant little shit.
00:59:10I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:15It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:21I need a favor.
00:59:22I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
00:59:28It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:33Mom?
00:59:34What are you doing?
00:59:38Did you just break my TV?
00:59:40Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:43You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:45You've been so kind though.
00:59:46Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:52He's back.
00:59:54Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:56Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:58I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:01I need to get on that movie.
01:00:03Absolutely not.
01:00:04You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:06If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:09Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:12He still loves me.
01:00:15He has to.
01:00:17I just need to talk to him.
01:00:19Let.
01:00:20Him.
01:00:21Go.
01:00:23Mom.
01:00:25Honey, I...
01:00:27You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:30I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:33I love you.
01:00:35I love you.
01:00:37I love you too.
01:00:40There you go.
01:00:43This is, um...
01:00:44It's another movie deal.
01:00:45I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:47Sure.
01:01:02Did you get his location?
01:01:04The Oaks.
01:01:058 p.m.
01:01:06After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:12He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:15She's not protecting me.
01:01:25She's protecting her business.
01:01:27And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:29But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:32It's so nice having you back.
01:01:36And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:38Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:40A couple?
01:01:42Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:45If you can even call them that.
01:01:47But you're healthy now.
01:01:48And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:50I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:01:52I love Sabrina, but...
01:01:53I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:55The marriage, the kids...
01:01:57I mean, we really tried.
01:01:59I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:02:01It's over.
01:02:03It's over.
01:02:04It's over.
01:02:05I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks press Cindy Swick can offer.
01:02:17Oh.
01:02:18You haven't heard?
01:02:20She dumped him.
01:02:21It was all over People Magazine.
01:02:23She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:27Oh, my God.
01:02:28What?
01:02:31Daniel!
01:02:32Stop!
01:02:33Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:46I'm here to help you.
01:02:48Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:02:51Let's go home.
01:02:52Sabrina?
01:02:53How could you?
01:02:54What?
01:02:55I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:58I begged and pleaded.
01:03:00Stop lying.
01:03:01I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:05And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:11My God.
01:03:12You're disgusting.
01:03:13I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:15Not anymore.
01:03:16Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:21I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:24I'm your mother.
01:03:26I only want what's best for you.
01:03:29What's best for me?
01:03:31You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:37That all ends today.
01:03:40You're fired.
01:03:44Fired.
01:03:46No.
01:03:47No.
01:03:48No.
01:03:53No.
01:03:54You can't do this to me.
01:03:56Please.
01:03:57Please, sweetie.
01:03:58I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:59You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:05I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:07You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:10There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:13I made you.
01:04:15You'd be nothing without me!
01:04:20I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:27We're done here, Mom.
01:04:30If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:37Without another word.
01:04:45I have something to say.
01:04:49I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:54I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:58I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:02I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:12Apologize to your father.
01:05:14Do I have to?
01:05:15Who raised you?
01:05:18Cared for you?
01:05:20Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:24Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:28He did.
01:05:30He loved you.
01:05:31But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:33I was wrong.
01:05:34Jackson.
01:05:35He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:39And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:43I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:44It's gonna be okay, son.
01:05:45I'm just gonna love you.
01:05:46Okay.
01:05:47Come on Jackson, let's go.
01:05:49I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:51For everything.
01:05:52Come on, Jackson. Let's go.
01:06:00I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:03For everything.
01:06:13I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:15You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:20I just didn't know it'd be this hard.
01:06:22They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:25They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:31People can change.
01:06:34But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:40And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:57I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:03But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:04Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:16Way to go, John!
01:07:17Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:34Well, keep in touch.
01:07:35How many more do we have today?
01:07:3640, sir.
01:07:36Geez.
01:07:36Hey, boy! How are we looking?
01:07:37We're still digging. Um, no one's cracked the lead yet. I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:48All right, here's the deal. The studio is on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:03Today? Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:06Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:07That's why I love you, man. Cool under pressure. This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:08:15Oh, my God.
01:08:16All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:17Ah.
01:08:18But that would be...
01:08:20Emily Blake.
01:08:24Emily.
01:08:29Emily.
01:08:30Amazing, as always.
01:08:33You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:35Please.
01:08:36I wasn't going to miss a shot to audition for the great Daniel Jones.
01:08:41How's L.A. treating you?
01:08:43Oh, my God.
01:08:43Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:46But I am...
01:08:48I'm glad to be back.
01:08:50Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:52Yeah.
01:08:52But it suits you.
01:08:55You definitely belong here.
01:08:59I do miss you, though.
01:09:02It was fun.
01:09:03Playing the part.
01:09:05British starlet.
01:09:06American director.
01:09:08I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:11Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:18It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:21You...
01:09:21You were amazing, as always.
01:09:24It's just...
01:09:25It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:30I never was, was I?
01:09:32Anyways...
01:09:33Got a few more auditions while I'm in town?
01:09:35Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:39Yeah.
01:09:51Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:52Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:56And be generous with the sugar.
01:09:57Oh, my God.
01:10:04What am I gonna do?
01:10:11That was quick.
01:10:22What are you doing here?
01:10:25I came to audition.
01:10:27Did you bring any representation?
01:10:31No.
01:10:32I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:36I'm starting fresh.
01:10:38Right, um...
01:10:41Hi.
01:10:42I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:47Don't let me go!
01:10:48I got you.
01:10:49I'll never let you go.
01:10:53Are you okay?
01:10:54Yeah.
01:10:55It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:58Never really healed.
01:11:01I understand.
01:11:05Daniel Johnson.
01:11:08Nice to meet you.
01:11:12Please.
01:11:12Whenever you're ready.
01:11:29Now you're ready.
