Short filmTranscript
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.
00:07:30If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:33You destroyed me.
00:08:03Preston, there's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:21Stay back. I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:43No! Daniel!
00:08:47I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:49Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:54I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:00Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:15Good to see ya!
00:09:17Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, two long.
00:09:20Look at you!
00:09:21Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:25Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:26Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit. Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel.
00:09:30Uh, 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.
00:09:57Don't embarrass me.
00:09:58No, it's fine.
00:09:59Whoa, 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?
00:10:16Yeah!
00:10:17Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20That's fine. That's fine. Just relax, okay? Be nice.
00:10:26Some 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.
00:10:55Ooh, careful.
00:10:56You alright?
00:10:59I'm still starving! Make me some food!
00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:07Ew, what 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.
00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21Oh, babe, for real?
00:11:24Yeah! My makeup line took me all the way to the top!
00:11:28Donovan Cosmetics!
00:11:30I'm rich!
00:11:32Which 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. You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:43You realize that's why no one bought your scripts. They were so dull.
00:11:46Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:49Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel. So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant? My treat.
00:11:59Here we go.
00:12:00What?
00:12:01Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:03I don't mind.
00:12:04All of you insist. I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:07Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut. So, anyways.
00:12:16Come on, man. Let's go.
00:12:18Screw you. Gotcha. There we go.
00:12:21Oh, there's Paps. You don't have to come, Daniel. Last time. I promise.
00:12:30You're right. It is the last time.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
00:12:37Bye.
00:12:38Jackson.
00:12:45Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:51It's over.
00:12:53Why 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 ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:21Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:23She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:26Sabrina Donovan.
00:13:29I could scream. I'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. I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:39A scene that I wrote. Uncredited, of course. Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:44Wait. Are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually.
00:13:47This is totally a date.
00:13:49All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:57Do you mind just giving me a little space? You'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. You get it, right?
00:14:15So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18Oh, it's okay, babe. We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:21This is so going viral. I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:33It looks like more than dating. Are... Is this your son?
00:14:37I wish I was his son, Jackson. Don't be silly.
00:14:41You 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. I wish he was my dad.
00:14:56My 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 after party with a call girl.
00:15:04It's okay, buddy. Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:07If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:10I'm in.
00:15:11That is if mom's cool with it.
00:15:13Oh, Preston, I don't know. Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:17Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:21Come on. Let's give him a show.
00:15:23Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:40I told you this divorce was a mistake. Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:49Daniel!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:55From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:59Daniel, he's here? Did he see us? Is he looking over here?
00:16:03Fuck, that's not good. I was just doing that for publicity. I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:07Actually, it was perfect timing. Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:12Who cares about him, Mommy? Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:16Jackson, enough!
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then. Now I need to handle Sabrina. I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you. You're really good at that.
00:16:33Ooh! I have a parting gift for you. A one-way ticket, so 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, I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me. He has to understand. This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:16:57Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:04Daniel, what is this?
00:17:06I can't let her create a public scene. All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:13Are you going somewhere?
00:17:15Honey! Oh, what a coincidence. We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation. Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:23A vacation?
00:17:25Finally. You're paying attention.
00:17:27Yeah. I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:17:30Well, thanks for telling your wife. What 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. Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:39That's fine. Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit. Just like any good husband would.
00:17:45Oh, I see. Is it me? Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:50I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:52I always knew you were the self-loathing type. You know what? Maybe I should go. I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:58No, please stay. I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:01No, you know what? I'll go. And clearly she wants you. I'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. He promised. It doesn't have to be like this. We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:19I'm gonna go back.
00:18:21Daniel!
00:18:24Daniel!
00:18:28Please. Better than yours.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:32Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:34Oh!
00:18:35Oh, good. You're up. Um, 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? I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:50Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:53Well, but not lucky for him. He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:58Oh.
00:18:59Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:02Yeah.
00:19:03Listen, man, I...
00:19:05I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened. You can trust me.
00:19:10Preston, I think you're...
00:19:12Mmm.
00:19:13You need to go right now.
00:19:14All right.
00:19:16Oh, hey.
00:19:18Daniel, seriously, listen, man. I... I...
00:19:20When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:25I... I'm gonna 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?
00:19:38My 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.
00:20:00Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:04My God.
00:20:07God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:12Are you really gonna ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:16No, it's not like that. I...
00:20:19What?
00:20:21You know what? Fine.
00:20:22You two look great together.
00:20:26Daniel, I...
00:20:39And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:42Um...
00:20:50I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:54Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:59I was never the homemaker.
00:21:04Please, Daniel.
00:21:05Daniel?
00:21:17I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:24If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:27I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:29Look at her now. Playing house for another man. If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:49There 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.
00:22:03Hmm...
00:22:06Got some.
00:22:21Yeah.
00:22:23What do you need? Oh!
00:22:25I don't need some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:28Yeah, this shit's straight-up protein.
00:22:30Bulking 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?
00:22:39No. A 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! I want to play with the fist, 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.
00:23:19You 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!
00:23:41Don't push.
00:23:47I said don't push. Go get a book or something.
00:23:49Hey, why don't you get your hands off him? He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:23:54God, what the hell?
00:23:55What the hell? Just show me.
00:23:56What the hell? Just show me.
00:24:00Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:02He's not your kid.
00:24:03I wish I was. I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever. I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:10Ouch. I mean, you just heard your son. So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:15Um, maybe it will be. But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:20Oh, you?
00:24:22Man of the house? Please. You're a pussy in an apron. I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:29And you're a washed up pack. Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:33How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:34I heard your agent's 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.
00:24:43Jackson, 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. Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:04You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:18What was that?
00:25:23Let's go.
00:25:26Daniel! What is happening?
00:25:29It was Dad, Mom. Dad 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? I didn't?
00:25:41Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you? You'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. Throw 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 had attacked me?
00:26:00Maybe I should go. I'm sorry.
00:26:01No. Oh, 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.
00:26:14We'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.
00:26:23Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:26:36Hello, 911. What's your emergency?
00:26:38Don't wake me up.
00:26:40I think I hit an artery.
00:26:41I need an ambulance now.
00:26:43Now.
00:26:43You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:26:58To be honest, that's...
00:27:00I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:06Uh...
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:08Pretty 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 with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:23I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:25You said, um, a couple?
00:27:28I 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.
00:27:43Need 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...
00:27:52Ten years ago.
00:27:54Daniel!
00:27:55Sweet 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.
00:28:11Fuck it.
00:28:13I'm going to 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.
00:28:25It needs the right producer.
00:28:31I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:36Where have you been?
00:28:37I kept calling.
00:28:39I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:42Huh?
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.
00:28:57Yeah.
00:29:00That's what you want to call it?
00:29:02I, I just, I'm sorry.
00:29:05I, bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:10It is what it is.
00:29:16But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:19You even just hint at a relationship and 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, I just, I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:32Seriously, I, I care about you.
00:29:42I love it.
00:29:44I'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.
00:30:02It's Sabrina.
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 we could revisit your script.
00:30:21I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:24You telling 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.
00:30:38I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:44A long time ago.
00:30:45Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves
00:30:51into the script, just like we used to in film school.
00:30:54There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:58I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:00Now, I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:04Fine.
00:31:04I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it
00:31:24was awful.
00:31:26Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how
00:31:29you like it.
00:31:30That's not what I meant.
00:31:33I 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.
00:31:53Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:55It'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?
00:32:24Forget it.
00:32:26I have a mirror.
00:32:27We'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.
00:33:34Jackson, we 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.
00:34:27Is there a problem?
00:34:31Oh, my God.
00:34:35That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flop 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.
00:34:47You 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.
00:34:55You showed up uninvited.
00:34:58In street rags.
00:34:59Abused Sabrina's kid and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:04That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:07Doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:09And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:14This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:16You 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 is that, Preston?
00:35:32You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:37Hmm.
00:35:41Oh!
00:35:58What the hell?
00:36:00What happened?
00:36:02Oh, my God.
00:36:03Daniel.
00:36:05What the hell happened?
00:36:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:08Are you okay?
00:36:09Look at her go.
00:36:11Hollywood's finest.
00:36:13Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:16It's Daniel.
00:36:17He'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.
00:36:24No.
00:36:25No, that's not true.
00:36:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:35Daniel.
00:36:37Is that true?
00:36:40Sabrina.
00:36:41Oh, yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:47I think one of them's broken.
00:36:49Sabrina?
00:36:50Honey?
00:36:51We need to help Preston.
00:36:54But Daniel.
00:36:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:01Mommy, please.
00:37:13We can't leave him.
00:37:15I...
00:37:15I have...
00:37:17I have to help Preston.
00:37:19Come on, Jackson.
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
00:37:50after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:00Well, 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.
00:38:14Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:14In 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.
00:38:25Don't worry about it.
00:38:38Don't worry about it.
00:38:40Just drive.
00:38:40I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:56Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:01Seriously?
00:39:02Just lay down.
00:39:03I know.
00:39:04Why is he down?
00:39:05I'm going to call the doctor, okay?
00:39:10What are you doing?
00:39:11I thought you were hurt.
00:39:13I think I'll pull through.
00:39:14So what are you doing?
00:39:22I don't know what I've always wanted to.
00:39:25Come on.
00:39:25I 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.
00:39:34What am I doing?
00:39:46Daniel is still injured.
00:39:48He should be home.
00:39:51Sabrina?
00:39:52Listen, get off.
00:40:05What?
00:40:06Babe, we can finally come home.
00:40:08I said get off.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:12No, forget about him.
00:40:13Look, I love Jackson,
00:40:16and 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.
00:40:28What?
00:40:29Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:33No.
00:40:35No.
00:40:36What have I done?
00:40:37Where is he?
00:40:39What about me?
00:40:40You had your chance 10 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.
00:40:59He was the one bleeding out.
00:41:00I saw him stumble outside holding his head
00:41:02after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:04He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:05Oh, no.
00:41:10Oh, Daniel, where are you?
00:41:12I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach
00:41:14is no longer in service.
00:41:16Please try again later.
00:41:18What have I done?
00:41:19Come 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.
00:41:53No.
00:41:57It's not possible.
00:42:00He will be back.
00:42:02No.
00:42:03Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:16Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:18The waves all spousal support.
00:42:20No, no, he can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me.
00:42:26I won't sign off on him.
00:42:36No.
00:42:38All this time, he's going to leave me?
00:42:42It 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.
00:43:12After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:43:15I've been through.
00:43:15I got you.
00:43:38Don't let me go.
00:43:41Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:45Daniel?
00:43:48No, it's Mom.
00:43:49Is everything okay?
00:43:50You sound panicked?
00:43:51Mom.
00:43:54Mom.
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.
00:44:10You knew?
00:44:12I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:14I'm hungry.
00:44:24Dad!
00:44:25Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:29I have something to tell you.
00:44:35Your dad.
00:44:38Your dad.
00:44:39He's left us.
00:44:42I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:45Yay!
00:44:45He's gone!
00:44:45He's gone!
00:44:47Why 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 than raising a young man.
00:45:01He 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!
00:45:11You have a dad.
00:45:13And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:45:15Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:17Hello?
00:45:24Do 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, I 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, but I'm not surprised.
00:45:40Flag his name.
00:45:42I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:43Jackson, 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.
00:45:59What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:02It's despicable.
00:46:04I can't do this anymore.
00:46:07I 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.
00:46:17Oh, 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.
00:46:29What?
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.
00:46:51Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:53Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:46:56Contract?
00:46:56What contract?
00:46:58What contract?
00:47:03What 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 a trip.
00:47:14Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:17Please.
00:47:18I just want the truth.
00:47:20Mom.
00:47:22Fine.
00:47:23I will tell you the truth.
00:47:25But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:29I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:31But 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.
00:47:53She needs you.
00:47:55Stay.
00:47:56Marry her.
00:47:57Love her.
00:47:58So that she's never alone again.
00:48:06It 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?
00:48:23You 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.
00:48:56I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame the 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.
00:49:32Daniel, 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, how uncomfortable these designers' 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 rights director, will you be making your way back 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 hell.
00:50:26Daniel?
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.
00:50:48And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:51That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake.
00:50:54Two-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.
00:51:08Thanks for saving me.
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 is happening to me.
00:51:17I can.
00:51:18The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:22Daniel.
00:51:23Daniel.
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?
00:51:37You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:39I know, it's, um, I'll have it.
00:51:42Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:51:47Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:48I know, our press is good press.
00:52:02Daniel becomes an award-winning director and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:13He can't do this to me.
00:52:17Sabrina.
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?
00:52:25Please, honey.
00:52:26He 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, any, 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.
00:52:55Your 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.
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.
00:53:27A doormat.
00:53:29Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:32Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:32Enough, you 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?
00:53:48This 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.
00:53:59Now, it's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:06Hey, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:54:10Making 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 from 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.
00:54:57Okay?
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.
00:55:19You 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.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:35We're over.
00:55:36What?
00:55:36No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:37Please.
00:55:38Please, I love you.
00:55:39Just, just think about it.
00:55:41Look at 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.
00:55:48Babe, just...
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 the real thing.
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, he 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!
00:56:29Security!
00:56:29Security!
00:56:29Come on.
00:56:32Just let's talk about this.
00:56:33No.
00:56:35Come on.
00:56:35Celeste, do something.
00:56:37Sabrina!
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.
00:56:57Sabrina, 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.
00:57:10You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:25I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:27In film school, we were literally told to watch
00:57:30every single film that 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, but 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.
00:57:57Let me guess.
00:57:58My girl?
00:57:59If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:03You don't walk away from a gift like yours over 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.
00:58:13$200 million 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 with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:49Of course.
00:58:49It's about a man who 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 at
00:58:57who the mystery woman is?
00:59:00Oh...
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 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:28It's time for a little reunion
00:59:30with 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
00:59:41for your upcoming film?
00:59:43You know how I'm not supposed to do that?
00:59:45You've been so kind, though.
00:59:46Um, it's called
00:59:47You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:52He's back.
00:59:52Why 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.
01:00:10Honey,
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!
01:00:22Mom!
01:00:25Honey,
01:00:25I...
01:00:26You know,
01:00:28I just want what's best for you,
01:00:30right?
01:00:30I just don't want to see
01:00:31my little girl hurt again.
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.
01:00:46I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:47Okay.
01:00:47Okay.
01:00:48Okay.
01:00:52Did you get his location?
01:01:05The Oaks.
01:01:068 p.m.
01:01:07After I'm done with him,
01:01:09Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:12He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:14She's not protecting me.
01:01:26She's protecting her business.
01:01:27And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:29But if she wants a scandal,
01:01:31she'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 years, hasn't it?
01:01:40A couple?
01:01:42Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people,
01:01:46if 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,
01:01:53but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:56The marriage, the kids.
01:01:58I mean, we really tried.
01:01:59I thought I could make it go for it,
01:02:00but, um...
01:02:02It's over.
01:02:04It's over.
01:02:05I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy
01:02:07she thinks press Cindy Swick can offer.
01:02:16Oh.
01:02:17You 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?
01:02:34Daniel!
01:02:37Stop!
01:02:45Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:47I'm here to help you.
01:02:49Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:02:52Let's go home.
01:02:53Sabrina?
01:02:53How could you?
01:02:54What?
01:02:54I just came to ask Daniel
01:02:56if he'd let you audition,
01:02:57but he said no.
01:02:58I begged and pleaded.
01:03:00Stop lying.
01:03:02I saw you bribe the waiter
01:03:04to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:06And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too,
01:03:08to catch him drugged out of his mind
01:03:10and 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,
01:03:19scheming snake?
01:03:21I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:25I'm your mother.
01:03:26I only want what's best for you.
01:03:29What's best for me?
01:03:33You've been controlling my life
01:03:34ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:37That all ends today.
01:03:42You're fired.
01:03:44Fired.
01:03:45No.
01:03:49No.
01:03:54No.
01:03:55You can't do this to me.
01:03:57Please.
01:03:57Please, sweetie.
01:03:58I have dedicated my life to you.
01:04:00You dedicated your life to money
01:04:02and 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
01:04:12than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:13I made you.
01:04:15You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:19I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:21We're done here, Mom.
01:04:30If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life
01:04:32or in mine,
01:04:35you'll leave now.
01:04:37Without another word.
01:04:38I have something to say.
01:04:50I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:55I'm sorry I took you for granted
01:04:57all of those years.
01:04:58I'm sorry I let my mom
01:05:00manipulate and use you.
01:05:03I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home
01:05:06and 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?
01:05:21Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:24Laid with you when you had nightmares
01:05:26and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:28He did.
01:05:29He loved you.
01:05:30But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:33I was wrong.
01:05:34Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life
01:05:37and we abused it.
01:05:39And now there is nothing we can do
01:05:42to take that back.
01:05:44I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:48It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:50I love you.
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:52Come on, Jackson.
01:05:53Let's go.
01:06:00I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:03For everything.
01:06:12I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:15You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:18No.
01:06:20I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:22They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:25They tore you to pieces
01:06:27and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:32People can change.
01:06:35But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:37And the Oscar goes to
01:06:42Daniel Johnson
01:06:43for his original screenplay,
01:06:45Loving Her.
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:50Come here, Daniel!
01:06:51Daniel, is it true that the script
01:06:53that won you Oscars
01:06:53for both writing and directing
01:06:55sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:06:57Yes.
01:06:58I'll admit I got a little sidelined,
01:06:59but I think I found my way back.
01:07:03But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:05Um, I don't think you can truly
01:07:08love someone else
01:07:09until you love yourself.
01:07:16Way to go, John!
01:07:35Thank you so much
01:07:36for considering me for this part.
01:07:38We'll keep in touch.
01:07:46How many more do we have today?
01:07:47Forty, sir.
01:07:48Jeez.
01:07:49Hey, boy!
01:07:50How are we looking?
01:07:51We're still digging.
01:07:53Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:56I mean, this film lives or dies
01:07:58by the female lead.
01:08:00All right, here's the deal.
01:08:01The studio's on my ass
01:08:02looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:05Today?
01:08:06Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:07That's why I love you, man.
01:08:08Cool under pressure.
01:08:10This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:15Oh, my God.
01:08:16All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:17Ah.
01:08:18That would be...
01:08:21Emily Blake.
01:08:24Emily.
01:08:29Emily.
01:08:29Amazing, as always.
01:08:33You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:36Please.
01:08:37I wasn't gonna miss a shot
01:08:38who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:41How's L.A. treating you?
01:08:43Oh, my God.
01:08:44Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:47But I am...
01:08:48I'm glad to be back.
01:08:50Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:52Yeah.
01:08:53But it suits you.
01:08:56You definitely belong here.
01:09:00I 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.
01:09:13Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:16I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:18It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:21You...
01:09:22You were amazing, as always.
01:09:24It's just...
01:09:26It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:30I never was, was I?
01:09:33Anyways...
01:09:34Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:37Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:39Yeah.
01:09:39Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:09:53Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:56And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:03Oh, my God.
01:10:04What am I going to do?
01:10:05What am I going to do?
01:10:05What am I going to do?
01:10:07What am I going to do?
01:10:11That was quick.
01:10:22What are you doing here?
01:10:25I came to audition.
01:10:29Did you bring any representation?
01:10:31No.
01:10:32I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:35I'm starting fresh.
01:10:38Right, um...
01:10:41Hi.
01:10:43I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:47Don't let me go!
01:10:49I got you.
01:10:50I'll never let you go.
01:10:53Are you okay?
01:10:55Yeah.
01:10:55It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:58never really healed.
01:10:59I understand.
01:11:01I understand.
01:11:06Daniel Johnson.
01:11:09Nice to meet you.
01:11:12Please.
01:11:21Whenever you're ready.
01:11:29Hi.
01:11:30No.
01:11:31You're welcome.
01:11:33.
