America S Favorite Ex-Husband - Full Movie
Transcript
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. But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:22You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:54What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:18Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:24Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:26Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:30I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw it. Preston was there.
00:02:37I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:48Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:50But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:52No! I want to eat now!
00:03:05Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:07He doesn't miss a...
00:03:09Daniel, please.
00:03:10I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:15I've got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food! I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:31You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them!
00:03:36Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:50I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:57And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough. Just enough.
00:04:05I want a divorce.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:21Huh?
00:04:23I want a...
00:04:26I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:30Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:33Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously.
00:04:43Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:46I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:48What is this?
00:04:50Another contract?
00:04:52How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:55It's not a...
00:04:56Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:58Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:01Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:05I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:10Pull my weight?
00:05:11Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Mwah! Love you.
00:05:16I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:19If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:22Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:33The movie's Greenland, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:35We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:37I can't.
00:05:38My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:41After all I've sacrificed,
00:05:42my scripts,
00:05:44my career,
00:05:45my future,
00:05:45all pushed aside.
00:05:49At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:51I was able to use the money Celeste gave me
00:05:54to save my mother's life.
00:05:55Hey, Mom. How you doing?
00:05:56Oh, good, dear.
00:05:58I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:02Do you need more?
00:06:03No, no, no, no.
00:06:04You've already done so much.
00:06:06I'm just trying to help.
00:06:08I know.
00:06:09But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:11Nikki, I can't thank you enough
00:06:14for everything that you've done,
00:06:16but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:20I am, Mom.
00:06:22And I promise,
00:06:24very soon,
00:06:26everything's gonna change.
00:06:29You're a wonderful, dear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:33Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:35I gotta go.
00:06:36Love you.
00:06:40What is it, Mom?
00:06:41Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:52Preston Eastwood,
00:06:54the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:56and is stealing it back again.
00:07:00Preston Eastwood,
00:07:01the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:03All right, cut.
00:07:11That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:13We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:17Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:19I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:23Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:25If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:30If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:30it was her father.
00:07:32Who is trying to die?
00:07:33How the would you do is say that?
00:07:35идеi,
00:07:35how the would you do?
00:07:36Or is this what it would say or say,
00:07:37but literally now you guys don't.
00:07:37What about you?
00:07:38Yeah,
00:07:39because of where you want you to get a different way down.
00:07:45I'm just trying to get to comfort,
00:07:47but we don't think we might even start the scene.
00:07:50You come quick,
00:07:51especially when Nancy enters the sea,
00:07:55You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:21Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina?
00:08:25Don't do this.
00:08:28Just...
00:08:29Just give me your hand.
00:08:43No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:47I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:49Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:52I'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 going to be alone again.
00:09:09Good to see you.
00:09:18Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:20Oh, two long.
00:09:20What's you?
00:09:22Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:25Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:27Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:28Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:33Oh, there he is!
00:09:35The assistant!
00:09:36I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:40How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:44Stop!
00:09:45I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:52Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:55Daniel.
00:09:56Oh.
00:09:56Don't embarrass me.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:07My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:09He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:11Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:14What do you say?
00:10:15Huh?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:21That's fine.
00:10:22That's fine.
00:10:23Just relax, okay?
00:10:25Be nice.
00:10:34Some people never change.
00:10:36But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:43Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:44But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:10:54Oh, careful.
00:10:56You all right?
00:10:59I'm still starving.
00:11:01Make me some food.
00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:07Ew.
00:11:07What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:09I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:12Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:15I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:22Oh, babe.
00:11:23For real?
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:24My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:28Donovan cosmetics.
00:11:29I'm rich.
00:11:30Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:35I 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.
00:11:41You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:42You realize that's why no one bought your scripts?
00:11:44They were so dull.
00:11:46Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:49Well, for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:57My treat.
00:11:59Here we go.
00:12:00What?
00:12:00Yeah.
00:12:01Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:03I don't mind.
00:12:04All of you insist.
00:12:05I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06So.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:10Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:14So, anyways.
00:12:16Come on, man.
00:12:16Let's go.
00:12:18Screw you.
00:12:19Gotcha.
00:12:19There we go.
00:12:21Oh.
00:12:22There's Paps.
00:12:24You 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.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
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.
00:12:51Why 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.
00:13:00To 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:01I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:03Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:16Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:23She 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, I 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.
00:13:40A scene that I wrote, uncredited of course.
00:13:42Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:45Wait, are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:50All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:53Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:00You'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.
00:14:06You get it, right?
00:14:15So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:19We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:23This 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.
00:14:58But 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.
00:15:04It'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 school with him.
00:15:13Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:14Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:16Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:17Come on.
00:15:21Let's get Michelle.
00:15:22Michelle.
00:15:22Michelle.
00:15:24Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:51Daniel!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:56And the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:59Daniel, he's here?
00:16:01He...
00:16:01Did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:03Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:05I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:06I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:08Actually, 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.
00:16:29I'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, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:48I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me.
00:16:52He has to understand.
00:16:53This is Hollywood.
00:16:54It's just part of the job.
00:16:57Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:01Daniel, what is this?
00:17:07I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:10All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:15Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:18We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:21Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:22A vacation?
00:17:23Finally, you're paying attention.
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:27I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:29Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:31What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:33Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:35That's not what I meant.
00:17:36Whoa.
00:17:36Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:39That's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit, just like any good husband would.
00:17:44Oh, I see.
00:17:46Is it me?
00:17:48Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:49I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:52I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:54You know what?
00:17:55Maybe I should go.
00:17:56I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:57No, 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.
00:18:08Daniel, wait.
00:18:10I won't ever let you go.
00:18:12He won't leave.
00:18:13He promised.
00:18:15It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:17We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:20I'm going to go back.
00:18:24Daniel!
00:18:27Oh, please.
00:18:29Better than yours.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:32Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:34Oh!
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:37You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:43It's fun.
00:18:45Why don'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.
00:18:54He'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, man, I...
00:19:03I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:08You can trust me.
00:19:10Preston, I think you're...
00:19:12He needs to go right now.
00:19:14All right.
00:19:18Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:19I...
00:19:20I...
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.
00:19:30He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:31No, 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?
00:19:43Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:47You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:54That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:19:59Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:05My God.
00:20:07God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:11Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:16No, it's not like that.
00:20:18I...
00:20:19What?
00:20:20You know what? Fine.
00:20:24You two look great together.
00:20:26Daniel, I...
00:20:27And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:46Um...
00:20:46I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:54Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:56I was never the homemaker.
00:21:04Please, Daniel.
00:21:14I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:21If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:27I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:30Look at her now.
00:21:43Playing house for another man.
00:21:45If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:49There he is.
00:22:08God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:10Man, no, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:14Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:18You got some.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20What do you need?
00:22:21Oh, oh.
00:22:22Yeah, there you go.
00:22:23I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:26Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:28Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:30Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:39No.
00:22:40A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:43Why 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!
00:23:04I want to play with the fist, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:08And it's unfair.
00:23:09That's a shame, huh?
00:23:10You know what?
00:23:11Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:13Here we go.
00:23:14Ooh.
00:23:15No, it's not to play with them.
00:23:19You never let me do anything!
00:23:22Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:25You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:27It's not about the money.
00:23:29It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:31Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:35Yeah?
00:23:36What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:38You're so annoying!
00:23:41Don't push.
00:23:47I said don't push.
00:23:48Go get a book or something.
00:23:50Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:51He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:23:54God, what the hell?
00:23:55Just show me.
00:23:59Call it a lesson.
00:24:00I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:02He's not your kid.
00:24:03I wish I was.
00:24:05I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:08I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:10Ouch.
00:24:11I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:13So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:15Um, maybe it will be.
00:24:17But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:20You?
00:24:22Man of the house?
00:24:23Please.
00:24:24You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:25I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:29And you're a washed up pack.
00:24:30Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:33How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:35I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:37I'm a fucking star!
00:24:39A star?
00:24:40A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:43Jackson, come on.
00:24:44I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:46No, I'm not going.
00:24:48Preston's way cooler than you.
00:24:50Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:24:52You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:18What was that?
00:25:22Daniel, what is happening?
00:25:29It was Dad, Mom.
00:25:30Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:32What?
00:25:33You're so scared.
00:25:33You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:35What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:37I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:38I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:39What?
00:25:40I didn't.
00:25:41Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:43You'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.
00:25:50Throw up.
00:25:50Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:53What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:55What?
00:25:56Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:00Maybe I should go.
00:26:01I'm sorry.
00:26:01No.
00:26:02Oh, my God.
00:26:04He's lying.
00:26:06You're a monster.
00:26:08And in front of your son?
00:26:10You have to be kidding.
00:26:12We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:15We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:17Come on.
00:26:18Clean this up.
00:26:21Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:25She's mine now, loser.
00:26:27You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight.
00:26:57To pump you with liquid.
00:26:59To be honest, that's...
00:27:00I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:05Uh, yeah.
00:27:08Pretty obvious.
00:27:09Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:12I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:23I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:26You said, um, a couple?
00:27:29I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:27:34She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:38She was so sweet.
00:27:43Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:46No, it's...
00:27:48It's an old wound.
00:27:49I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:54Daniel!
00:27:56Sweet and caring.
00:27:58So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:01He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:03and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:06Fuck it.
00:28:13I'm gonna get my shit in, y'all.
00:28:17Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:19You once liked my short film.
00:28:20I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:30It needs the right producer.
00:28:32I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:36Where have you been?
00:28:38I kept calling.
00:28:39I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:43Huh?
00:28:47What?
00:28:47I've been busy.
00:28:48Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:51Seriously?
00:28:52Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:55I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:58Yeah.
00:29:00That's what you want to call it?
00:29:02I...
00:29:02I just...
00:29:03I'm sorry.
00:29:06I...
00:29:06Bringing Preston into our home
00:29:08was probably crossing the line.
00:29:13It is what it is.
00:29:15But I mean,
00:29:16you know how the industry works.
00:29:19You even just hint at a relationship,
00:29:21and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:24And I think you should go for it.
00:29:25I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:28But...
00:29:29I just...
00:29:30I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:35Seriously.
00:29:36I...
00:29:37I care about you.
00:29:38I love it.
00:29:45I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:46I know when you're angry.
00:29:48Really?
00:29:48I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:50I pay attention?
00:29:53Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:55She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:58That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:00A headline.
00:30:01A performance.
00:30:04Sabrina.
00:30:08Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:09You know what?
00:30:10I hate fighting.
00:30:12So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:14I was thinking.
00:30:16We could revisit your script.
00:30:21I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:24You tell me you finally read it?
00:30:26Well, yeah.
00:30:27The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:30The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:33I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:35Me and you.
00:30:36The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:40I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:44A long time ago.
00:30:46Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:30:48and for the next hour,
00:30:50we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:52Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:55There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:58I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:01Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:04Fine.
00:31:14I don't know what you do,
00:31:20but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:31:23and it was awful.
00:31:26Well, if I had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:31:28I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:30That's not what I meant.
00:31:33I like it when you make it.
00:31:34I'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.
00:31:53Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:57It'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 just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:16And what?
00:32:17It 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.
00:32:24You know what?
00:32:25Forget it.
00:32:26I have a premiere.
00:32:26We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:43What?
00:32:44Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:46Ex-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.
00:33:14Oh, please.
00:33:16She'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.
00:33:23I 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.
00:33:33Come here.
00:33:33Oh.
00:33:37Jackson!
00:33:38We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:40Do you know where she is?
00:33:42Or who she's with?
00:33:44She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:45He's been staying with us.
00:33:47Oh.
00:33:48Really?
00:33:49Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:52Oh, I hope so.
00:33:53I really hope so.
00:33:54He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:33:58Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:01Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:10What are you doing here?
00:34:12You never come to these things.
00:34:14Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:17Get lost.
00:34:18You embarrass us.
00:34:19Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:21I'm your father.
00:34:22I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:24Is there a problem?
00:34:33Oh, my God.
00:34:35That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flap over Preston?
00:34:39If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:42I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:44You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:45Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:46You 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.
00:34:55You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:04That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:07It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:10And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:14This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:15You were revolting.
00:35:18No 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.
00:35:29Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:30Oh, yeah?
00:35:31What lesson's that, Preston?
00:35:32You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?

00:40:39What about me?

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 the one 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.
00:41:05Please.
00:41:06Please.
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, Daniel.
00:41:31Come on, Daniel.
00:41:31Answer me.
00:41:38He's not gone.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:41He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:54No.
00:41:57It's not possible.
00:42:00He will be back.
00:42:02No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:16Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:18The waves all spousal support.
00:42:21No.
00:42:22No.
00:42:22He can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me.
00:42:25I won't sign off on it.
00:42:36No.
00:42:38All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:42:42No.
00:42:44It can't be.
00:42:59It's not a...
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:43:02My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:04He loves me.
00:43:06He loves Jackson.
00:43:08He wouldn't just leave us.
00:43:10We'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.
00:43:56He 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.
00:44:09You noob?
00:44:12I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:22I'm hungry!
00:44:25Dad!
00:44:25Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:27Jackson?
00:44:28I 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.
00:44:44Yay!
00:44:45He's gone!
00:44:45He's gone!
00:44:46He's gone!
00:44:47He's gone!
00:44:47He's gone!
00:44:48I'm sorry.
00:44:48Why would you say that?
00:44:49He was so embarrassing.
00:44:51Even 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!
00:45:06Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:45:09He can be my new dad.
00:45:10Jackson!
00:45:12You have a dad!
00:45:13And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:15Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:24Hello?
00:45:25Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:26Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:28I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:31I'm sorry.
00:45:31I don't have the time.
00:45:32Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:36Was that done with your approval?
00:45:38No.
00:45:38But 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?
00:45:50He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:52Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:56And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:58What kind of coward abandons his family, huh?
00:46:03It's despicable.
00:46:04I can't do this anymore.
00:46:07I cancel everything.
00:46:09The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:11I don't want to be seen.
00:46:13I can't pretend.
00:46:16I just want him back.
00:46:17Oh, honey.
00:46:19Time to let him go.
00:46:21You don't love him anyway.
00:46:24Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:27What?
00:46:31How could you say something like that?
00:46:33Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:36He cares for me.
00:46:37He sees me.
00:46:38He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:42But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:46Daniel's my husband.
00:46:48And the father of my son.
00:46:49Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with
00:46:53his child just because the contract ended.
00:46:56Contract?
00:46:58What contract?
00:46:59What are you talking about?
00:47:06Forget it.
00:47:07Forget it.
00:47:08Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:09When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on
00:47:14a trip.
00:47:15Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:17Please.
00:47:18I just want the truth.
00:47:20Mom.
00:47:20Fine.
00:47:23I will tell you the truth.
00:47:25But 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.
00:47:36When 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.
00:47:53She needs you.
00:47:55Stay.
00:47:56Marry her.
00:47:57Love her.
00:47:58So that she's never alone again.
00:48:00It 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.
00:48:32Where?
00:48:33Where 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.
00:48:43Hollywood 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.
00:48:51And he is gone forever.
00:48:53He can't be.
00:48:54He can't be gone.
00:48:55He can't.
00:48:58I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated
00:49:21a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:23Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:32Daniel, 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 speed.
00:49:42Nobody told me how.
00:49:43Oh, man.
00:49:44How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:46I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:49Uh, yeah.
00:49:49Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:49:53And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:49:55I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:57But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:50:01And I feel like I found my voice.
00:50:02And it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:50:09back to Hollywood?
00:50:13Hollywood.
00:50:14Get out of the country.
00:50:17If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living
00:50:22hell.
00:50:26Daniel?
00:50:39He'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.
00:50:48And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:51That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:50:55actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:03We'll never tell.
00:51:07Oh, my God.
00:51:08Thanks for saving me up.
00:51:10She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:12I know.
00:51:12Jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal.
00:51:15I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:51:17I 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.
00:51:36You okay?
00:51:36You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:39I know.
00:51:39It's, um, old habit.
00:51:42Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:47Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:48I know.
00:52:00I know.
00:52:01All press is good press.
00:52:02Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:52:13bitch?
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?
00:52:25Oh, please, honey.
00:52:27He is using her.
00:52:29Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
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.
00:52:46A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:52:52Well, when he's not whining.
00:52:54And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:52:57You have everything.
00:52:59I don't have him.
00:53:02Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:03Go have the chef make something.
00:53:05No, I hate what she cooks, and 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, Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:15Daniel'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.
00:53:27A doormat.
00:53:29Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:32Enough, you little shit.
00:53:36Enough!
00:53:37Just enough!
00:53:38Sabrina?
00:53:40What's gotten into you?
00:53:42Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:45Whoa.
00:53:45What's going on in here?
00:53:48This 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 going to put you in a timeout.
00:54:00It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:03Hey, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:12Really?
00:54:12Loser?
00:54:13Yeah.
00:54:13You 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.
00:54:22That'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.
00:54:39Face 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.
00:54:46Yeah, 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.
00:55:02We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:04What's my birthday?
00:55:06Huh?
00:55:07What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:09What's my favorite color?
00:55:10My favorite song?
00:55:11Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:14Oh, oh, wait.
00:55:15What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:17You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:20You don't love me.
00:55:21You 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.
00:55:33We're over.
00:55:35We're over.
00:55:36What?
00:55:36No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:37Please, please, I love you.
00:55:39Just think about it.
00:55:41Think of the press.
00:55:41What does it 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.
00:55:49Now.
00:55:50Just give me your hand.
00:55:51Come on.
00:55:51No.
00:55:52I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:55Nobody sees around me.
00:55:57I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:59I see all of you.
00:56:01And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:04He truly knew me.
00:56:07He loved me.
00:56:09Every flaw, every fear, contract or not,
00:56:14he truly loved me.
00:56:16I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:19Saved me?
00:56:20You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:23Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:25And he saved me from you.
00:56:28Security!
00:56:31Security!
00:56:32Come on.
00:56:32Just let's talk about this.
00:56:33No.
00:56:35Come on.
00:56:35Celeste, do something.
00:56:37Go, Sabrina.
00:56:39Come on, Sabrina.
00:56:40Was that really necessary?
00:56:43I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:56:45and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:47Is that all you care about?
00:56:48The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:56:52God, you're supposed to be my mother first,
00:56:55not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:58Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:00Of course I care about you.
00:57:03I love you.
00:57:05Then prove it.
00:57:06If you ever want me in front of a camera again,
00:57:08then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:23You'll have to forgive me, Miss Jilly.
00:57:25I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:27In film school,
00:57:29we were literally told to watch every single film
00:57:31that you ever produced.
00:57:33I mean, you know this.
00:57:34You're a legend.
00:57:35I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:37All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:38You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:41I appreciate the compliment,
00:57:42but I mean, I'm doing all right.
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 L.A., not London.
00:57:51That's where you belong.
00:57:53To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:57:55It didn't really end well.
00:57:56Let me guess.
00:57:58A girl?
00:57:59If by a girl,
00:58:00he means Hollywood royalty,
00:58:02Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:04You don't walk away from a gift like yours
00:58:05over some heartbreak.
00:58:07You can become a household name,
00:58:09and 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.
00:58:25You can't run away from the past.
00:58:26You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:28Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:43Can we talk?
00:58:44Daniel, can you give us a hint
00:58:46about your first movie
00:58:47with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:49Of course.
00:58:49It's about a man
00:58:50who gets fucked over
00:58:51by America's sweetheart
00:58:52and comes out on top.
00:58:54Is this a personal story?
00:58:56Will we get a hint
00:58:57at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:59Oh...
00:59:00She knows who she is.
00:59:03Um...
00:59:04I'll leave it at that.
00:59:08You arrogant little shit!
00:59:11I told you if you ever set foot
00:59:12in this fucking country
00:59:13I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:20It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:21I need a favor.
00:59:22I need you to track down Daniel Johnson
00:59:24and find out where he'll be
00:59:25around eight o'clock tonight.
00:59:28It's time for a little reunion
00:59:30with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:33Mom?
00:59:33What are you doing?
00:59:38Did you just break my TV?
00:59:40Can you give us a name
00:59:41for your upcoming film?
00:59:43You know,
00:59:44I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:45You've been so kind, though.
00:59:47It's called
00:59:47You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:52He's back.
00:59:54Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:56Honey,
00:59:57I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:59I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:01I need to get on that movie.
01:00:03Absolutely not.
01:00:05You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:06If you don't get me an audition,
01:00:08then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:10Oh, honey.
01:00:10I'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 him go.
