00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:07That 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.
00:00:33Daniel 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.
00:00:44Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son.
00:01:00But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You 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.
00:01:25She 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.
00:01:37And 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?
00:01:58What'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, oh!
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.
00:02:25Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait?
00:02:28I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:41I 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?
00:02:49Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:51But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:02:55You always know the spot.
00:03:08He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please.
00:03:11I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:16I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I'm...
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!
00:03:30You 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.
00:03:40You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:44I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:58And 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?
00:04:22Huh?
00:04:23I want a...
00:04:27I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now 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.
00:04:49What is this?
00:04:51Another contract?
00:04:52How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:56It's not a...
00:04:57Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:58It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:02Honestly, 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.
00:05:20If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:23Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:28The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:36We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:38I can't.
00:05:39My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:41After all I've sacrificed,
00:05:43my scripts,
00:05:44my career,
00:05:45my future,
00:05:46we're all pushed aside.
00:05:49At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:52I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:56Hey, Mom.
00:05:56How you doing?
00:05:57Oh, good, dear.
00:05:58I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:03Do you need more?
00:06:04No, no, no, no.
00:06:04You've already done so much.
00:06:07I'm just trying to help.
00:06:08I know,
00:06:09but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:13I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done,
00:06:17but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:20I am, Mom.
00:06:22And I promise,
00:06:25very soon,
00:06:26everything's going to change.
00:06:30That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:34Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:36I gotta go.
00:06:37Love you.
00:06:40What is it, Mom?
00:06:42Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:50Preston Eastwood,
00:06:54the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:56and is stealing it back again.
00:07:01Preston Eastwood,
00:07:02the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:10All right, cut.
00:07:11That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:14We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:17Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:20I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:24Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:27If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:31We got her.
00:07:51Now,
00:07:52You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:05There's nothing left.
00:08:06Sabrina, don't!
00:08:21Stay back.
00:08:23I mean it.
00:08:25Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:29Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:36No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:47I got you.
00:08:49No!
00:08:50Don't let me go!
00:08:52I won't ever let you go.
00:08:58I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:02Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:08And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:13Good to see you!
00:09:19Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:20Oh, too long.
00:09:21Look at you!
00:09:23Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:26Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:27Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:29Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:34Oh, there he is!
00:09:36The assistant!
00:09:37I'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?
00:09:45Stop!
00:09:46I 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.
00:09:56Daniel!
00:09:56Oh.
00:09:57Don't embarrass me.
00:09:58No, it's fine.
00:09:59Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:04He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:08My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:10He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:12Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:15What are you saying, huh?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20It's fine, it's fine.
00:10:24Just relax, okay?
00:10:26Be nice.
00:10:35Some people never change.
00:10:37But 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.
00:10:45But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:48Oh, careful.
00:10:57You all right?
00:11:00I'm still starving.
00:11:02Make me some food.
00:11:03Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:06Stew?
00:11:07Ew.
00:11:08What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:10I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:13Daniel, 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.
00:11:22What?
00:11:24For real?
00:11:25Yeah.
00:11:26My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:29Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:31I'm rich.
00:11:31Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:36I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:40See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:42You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:44You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:45They were so dull.
00:11:47Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:50Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:54So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:58My treat.
00:12:00Here we go.
00:12:00What?
00:12:01Yeah.
00:12:02Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:03I don't mind.
00:12:04All of you insist.
00:12:06I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:07So.
00:12:09Okay.
00:12:11Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:15So.
00:12:16Anyways.
00:12:16Come on, Ben.
00:12:17Let's go.
00:12:19Screw you.
00:12:19Gotcha.
00:12:20There we go.
00:12:20Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:25You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:27Last time.
00:12:28I promise.
00:12:31You're right.
00:12:32It is the last time.
00:12:35Hey, guys.
00:12:37Bye.
00:12:39Jackson.
00:12:45Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:49Contract's fine.
00:12:51It's over.
00:12:53Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:57I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:01After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:03Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:10She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:26Sabrina Donovan, I could scream.
00:13:31I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:33Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:37Oh, gee.
00:13:38I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:40A scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:13:43Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:45Wait, are you two dating?
00:13:47Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:51All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:54Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:01You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:03Your brand?
00:14:04It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:06You get it, right?
00:14:16So, you two are a thing?
00:14:18Well, I...
00:14:19Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:20We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:31This is so going viral.
00:14:32I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:34It looks like more than dating.
00:14:36Is this your son?
00:14:37I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:40Don't be silly.
00:14:41You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:44That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:46He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:49But Preston is awesome.
00:14:52He's an action spy.
00:14:53I wish he was my dad.
00:14:56My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:59But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:15:01when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty
00:15:04with a call girl.
00:15:05It's okay, buddy.
00:15:06Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:08If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:11That is if mom's cool with it.
00:15:13Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:15Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:17Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:19Come on.
00:15:22Let's get Michelle.
00:15:38Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:41I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:46Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:52Daniel!
00:15:54You 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.
00:16:00Daniel, he's here?
00:16:02Did he see us?
00:16:03Is he looking over here?
00:16:04Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:05I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:07I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:09Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:10Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:14Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:16Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:18Jackson, enough.
00:16:18What do I do?
00:16:22Well, that's it then.
00:16:24Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:26I 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.
00:16:34Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:38A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:44I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:49I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:52Daniel loves me.
00:16:53He has to understand.
00:16:54This is Hollywood.
00:16:55It's just part of the job.
00:16:58Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:04I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:11All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:13Are you going somewhere?
00:17:16Honey, what a coincidence.
00:17:19We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:22Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:23A vacation?
00:17:24Finally.
00:17:25You're paying attention.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:30Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:32What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:34Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:35That's not what I meant.
00:17:36Whoa.
00:17:37Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:40It's fine.
00:17:41Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:44Just like any good husband would.
00:17:45Oh, I see.
00:17:47Is it me?
00:17:48Is 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.
00:17:55You know what?
00:17:55Maybe I should go.
00:17:56I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:58No, please stay.
00:17:59I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:03No, you know what?
00:18:04I'll go.
00:18:05And clearly she wants you.
00:18:07I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:09Daniel, wait.
00:18:11I won't ever let you go.
00:18:13He won't leave.
00:18:14He promised.
00:18:15It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:18We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:20I'm going to go back.
00:18:25Daniel!
00:18:25Daniel!
00:18:25Oh, please.
00:18:29Better than yours.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:33Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:34Oh!
00:18:36Oh, good.
00:18:37You're up.
00:18:39Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:44It's fun.
00:18:46But don't look at me like that.
00:18:47I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:50Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:54How lucky for him.
00:18:56He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:59Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:03Listen, man, I...
00:19:04I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:09You can trust me.
00:19:11Preston, I think you're doing wrong.
00:19:14You need to go right now.
00:19:15All right.
00:19:17Oh, hey.
00:19:18Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:20I...
00:19:21When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:26I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:30Just ignore him.
00:19:31He 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.
00:19:36Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:38Jealous?
00:19:40My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:43Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:48You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:55That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:00Daniel.
00:20:02Can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:06My God.
00:20:08God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:12Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:15No, it's not like that.
00:20:18I...
00:20:19What?
00:20:21You know what?
00:20:22Fine.
00:20:25You two look great together.
00:20:27Daniel, I...
00:20:27And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:43Um...
00:20:43I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:55Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:59I was never the homemaker.
00:21:01Please, Daniel.
00:21:03Please, Daniel.
00:21:05I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:19If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:28I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:30Look at her now.
00:21:44Playing house for another man.
00:21:46If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:50There he is.
00:22:09God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:11Man.
00:22:12No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:15Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:19Got some.
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:21What do you need?
00:22:22Oh, oh.
00:22:23Yeah, there you go.
00:22:24I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:26I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:27Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:29Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:35Hey, uh...
00:22:36You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:40You're not?
00:22:41A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:44Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:46It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:22:53What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:04Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:05I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:09And it's unfair!
00:23:10That's a shame, huh?
00:23:11You know what?
00:23:12Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:13Here we go.
00:23:15Ooh!
00:23:16No, it's not to play with that.
00:23:20You never let me do anything!
00:23:23Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:26You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:28It's not about the money.
00:23:30It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:32Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:36Yeah?
00:23:37What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:38You're so annoying!
00:23:42Don't push.
00:23:48I said don't push.
00:23:49Go get a book or something.
00:23:50Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:52He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:55God, what the hell is you just showing me?
00:24:00Call it a lesson.
00:24:01I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:03He's not your kid.
00:24:04I wish I would!
00:24:05I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:09I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:12Ouch!
00:24:12I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:14So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:16Um, maybe it will be.
00:24:18But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:21You?
00:24:23Man of the house?
00:24:24Please.
00:24:25You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:26I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:30You're a washed up pack!
00:24:32Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:33How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:36I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:38I'm a fucking star!
00:24:40A star?
00:24:41A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:44Jackson, come on.
00:24:45I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:47No, I'm not going!
00:24:49Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:51Preston!
00:24:52Preston!
00:24:53Preston!
00:24:53Preston!
00:24:53Preston!
00:24:53Preston!
00:24:53Preston!
00:24:55Preston!
00:24:57Preston!
00:24:58Preston!
00:24:59Preston!
00:25:00Preston!
00:25:01Preston!
00:25:02Preston!
00:25:03Preston!
00:25:04Preston!
00:25:05Preston!
00:25:06Preston!
00:25:07Preston!
00:25:08Preston!
00:25:09Preston!
00:25:09Preston!
00:25:10Preston!
00:25:10Preston!
00:25:11Preston!
00:25:11Preston!
00:25:12Preston!
00:25:12Preston!
00:25:13Preston!
00:25:14You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:20What was that?
00:25:27Daniel!
00:25:28What is happening?
00:25:30It was Dad, Mom.
00:25:31Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:33What?
00:25:34You're so scared.
00:25:34You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:36What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:38I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:39I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:40What?
00:25:41I didn't?
00:25:42Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:44You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:46I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:48He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:49It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:25:51Grow up.
00:25:52Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:54What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:56What?
00:25:57Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:01Maybe I should go.
00:26:02I'm sorry.
00:26:03No.
00:26:03Oh, my God.
00:26:05He's lying.
00:26:07You're a monster.
00:26:09And in front of your son?
00:26:11You have to be kidding.
00:26:13We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:14Yeah.
00:26:16We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:18Come on.
00:26:19Clean this up.
00:26:22Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:26She's mine now, loser.
00:26:28You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight.
00:26:58To pump you with liquid.
00:27:00To be honest, that's...
00:27:01I could use a break from home.
00:27:03Trouble with the missus?
00:27:08Yeah.
00:27:09It's pretty obvious.
00:27:10Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:13I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:18With Preston Eastwood.
00:27:20True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:24I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:27:27You said, um, 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.
00:27:39She was so sweet.
00:27:40You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:47No, it's...
00:27:49It's an old wound.
00:27:51I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:55Daniel!
00:27:55Sweet and caring.
00:27:59So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:02He only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:12Fuck.
00:28:12I don't even 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.
00:28:21I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:31It needs the right producer.
00:28:33I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:37Where have you been?
00:28:39I kept calling.
00:28:40I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:43Huh?
00:28:48What?
00:28:48I've been busy.
00:28:49Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:52Seriously?
00:28:53Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:55I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:00That's what you want to call it?
00:29:03I...
00:29:03I just...
00:29:05I'm sorry.
00:29:06I...
00:29:07Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing.
00:29:10A line.
00:29:14It is what it is.
00:29:16But I mean...
00:29:17You know how the industry works.
00:29:20You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:24And I think you should go for it.
00:29:26I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:29But...
00:29:30I just...
00:29:30I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:33Seriously.
00:29:36Seriously.
00:29:37I...
00:29:38I care about you.
00:29:43I'm not mad.
00:29:45I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:47I know when you're angry.
00:29:49Really?
00:29:49I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:50I pay attention.
00:29:54Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:56She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:59That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:01A headline.
00:30:02A performance.
00:30:05Sabrina.
00:30:09Sabrina, I'm...
00:30:10You know what?
00:30:11I hate fighting.
00:30:12So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:15I was thinking...
00:30:17We could revisit your script.
00:30:22I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:24You tell me you finally read it?
00:30:27Well, yeah.
00:30:28The first ten pages.
00:30:29But they're good.
00:30:31The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:34I 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.
00:30:45A long time ago.
00:30:46Well, how about you make us some lattes?
00:30:49And for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:53Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:56There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:59I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:02Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:04I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:31:27Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:31That's not what I meant.
00:31:32I like it when you make it.
00:31:37I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:41I knew it.
00:31:43You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:45I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:49God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:54Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:57It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:59No, Daniel.
00:32:00No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:07Look what you made me do.
00:32:09Just leave it.
00:32:13I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:15And what?
00:32:18It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:20I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:22And look what I get for it.
00:32:24You know what?
00:32:25Forget it.
00:32:26I have a mirror.
00:32:27Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:29What?
00:32:44Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:47Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:48Not quite.
00:32:49That 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.
00:32:57Remember that.
00:32:57I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:10I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:15Oh, 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, well.
00:33:31If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:33Come here.
00:33:34Oh.
00:33:34Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:33:41Do 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?
00:33:50Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:53Oh, I hope so.
00:33:54I really hope so.
00:33:55He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:33:58Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:02Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:11What are you doing here?
00:34:12You never come to these things.
00:34:14Oh, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:17Get lost.
00:34:18You embarrass us.
00:34:20Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:22I'm your father.
00:34:23I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:25Is there a problem?
00:34:33Oh, my God.
00:34:35That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flap over Preston?
00:34:40If 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.
00:34:46Zip 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.
00:34:54That's not what I see.
00:34:56You 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?
00:35:17You were revolting.
00:35:19No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:21Hey.
00:35:23Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:25Trash 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?
00:35:33You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?

00:42:25no
00:42:26I'm gonna sign off on it.
00:42:36No!
00:42:38All this time?
00:42:40Who's gonna leave me?
00:42:56It can't be!
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter. My 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...
00:43:26I got you.
00:43:38Don't let me go!
00:43:40Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:46Daniel?
00:43:48No, it's Mom. Is everything okay?
00:43:50You sound panicked?
00:43:52Mom!
00:43:54Daniel!
00:43:56He just left us!
00:43:58Do you know where he is?
00:44:00We have to find him.
00:44:02We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:04Oh, honey.
00:44:06It'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! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:30I have something to tell you.
00:44:34Your dad...
00:44:36Your dad...
00:44:38He's left us.
00:44:40I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:44Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:46Why would you say that?
00:44:48He was so embarrassing!
00:44:50Even 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.
00:45:00He was so lame and boring!
00:45:04Now he's gone!
00:45:06Mr. Eastwood is way cooler!
00:45:08He can be my new dad!
00:45:10Jackson!
00:45:11You have a dad!
00:45:12And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:14Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:23Hello?
00:45:24Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:25Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:27I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:29I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:31Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:35Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37No.
00:45:38But I'm not surprised.
00:45:39Flag his name.
00:45:41I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:43Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:48Okay?
00:45:49He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:51Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:55And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:58What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:01It's despicable.
00:46:03I can't do this anymore.
00:46:05I cancel everything.
00:46:08The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:10I don't want to be seen.
00:46:12I can't pretend.
00:46:14I just want him back.
00:46:16Oh, honey.
00:46:18It's time to let him go.
00:46:20You don't love him anyway.
00:46:22Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:26What?
00:46:27How could you say something like that?
00:46:32Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:35He cares for me.
00:46:36He sees me.
00:46:37He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:41But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:44Daniel's my husband.
00:46:46And the father of my son.
00:46:48Yeah, some husband.
00:46:50Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:52Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:46:55Contract?
00:46:57What contract?
00:46:59What are you talking about?
00:47:05Forget it.
00:47:06Forget it.
00:47:07Just 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?
00:47:16Please.
00:47:17I just want the truth.
00:47:19Mom.
00:47:20Fine.
00:47:21I will tell you the truth.
00:47:24But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:29I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:32But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:38When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:41I had to save you.
00:47:43She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:46You've always been there for her.
00:47:49From film school to now.
00:47:51I've seen it.
00:47:52She needs you.
00:47:54Stay.
00:47:55Marry her.
00:47:56Love her.
00:47:57So that she's never alone again.
00:48:05It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:09How could you do this to me?
00:48:11I wanted to protect you.
00:48:13You wanted to control me.
00:48:15All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:18Well, 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.
00:48:30He kept you together.
00:48:31Where?
00:48:32Where?
00:48:33Where did he go?
00:48:34I know he told you where he went.
00:48:36Where is he?
00:48:37You can do better than him.
00:48:39You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:43Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:46No!
00:48:47He can't be gone!
00:48:48He can't!
00:48:49Yes!
00:48:50He is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:48:52He can't be!
00:48:53He can't be gone!
00:48:54He can't!
00:48:55I can't!
00:49:15I'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.
00:49:22Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:28Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:34What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:37Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:41Nobody told me how.
00:49:42Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:45I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:48Uh, yeah.
00:49:50God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:49:54I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:57But London?
00:49:59London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I've found my voice, and it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:09Hollywood.
00:50:12Hollywood.
00:50:14Get out of the country.
00:50:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, that will make your life a living hell.
00:50:25Daniel?
00:50:26He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:43Daniel is a true auteur, and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:50That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:03We'll never tell.
00:51:07Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:51:09She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:11I know, jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:15I can. The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:21Daniel, enjoy this.
00:51:25And get used to compliments.
00:51:28There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:30Fuck. Finish me, I know. I feel like I'm drinking.
00:51:35You okay? You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:38I know, it's, um, old habit.
00:51:40I'll have it.
00:51:42Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:46Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:59I 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?
00:52:13Ugh!
00:52:14He can't do this to me!
00:52:16Sabrina.
00:52:17You don't need him.
00:52:18Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:20How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:23Move on?
00:52:25Please, honey.
00:52:26He is using her.
00:52:28Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:31He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:34How could you say that?
00:52:35I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:39He's proving that to the whole world!
00:52:41Don't you see it?
00:52:42Sabrina.
00:52:44Look at what you've got.
00:52:46A celebrated career.
00:52:47A mansion in the hills.
00:52:49An adorable kid.
00:52:51Well, and he's not whining.
00:52:53And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:55Your dream man.
00:52:56You have everything.
00:52:58Like, don't.
00:52:59Have.
00:53:00Him.
00:53:01Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:02Go have the chef make something.
00:53:04No, I hate what she cooks.
00:53:05And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:07Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:09Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:11He's your dad.
00:53:12No!
00:53:13Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:14Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:18It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:20When did he get so cruel?
00:53:22You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:25A doormat.
00:53:28Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:29Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:31Daniel.
00:53:32Enough!
00:53:33You little shit!
00:53:35Enough!
00:53:36Just enough!
00:53:38Sabrina?
00:53:39What's gotten into you?
00:53:41Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:44Whoa.
00:53:45What's...
00:53:46What's going on here?
00:53:47This room feels really tense.
00:53:48Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:50I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:52No!
00:53:53I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:55And if you keep talking like that, I'm gonna put you in a time-out.
00:53:58It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:54:06Hey, babe.
00:54:07Are you really gonna get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:10Really?
00:54:11Loser?
00:54:12Yeah.
00:54:13You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:16And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:25That's really, really low.
00:54:27Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:32Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:54:34To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:37Face it, Preston.
00:54:39You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:42And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:44Yeah.
00:54:45I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:46You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:49I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:51Because you know what?
00:54:53Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:54It's not like that, okay?
00:54:56Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:54:59I wanna marry you.
00:55:01We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:03What's my birthday?
00:55:04Huh?
00:55:05What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:07What's my favorite color?
00:55:08My favorite song?
00:55:09Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:12Oh, oh wait.
00:55:13What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:15You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:18You don't love me.
00:55:19You don't even know me.
00:55:21This isn't a relationship.
00:55:23This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:26And you know what?
00:55:27I'm done.
00:55:28Get out.
00:55:29What?
00:55:30I don't wanna ever see you again.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:33We're over.
00:55:34What?
00:55:35No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:36Please.
00:55:37Please, I love you.
00:55:38Just think about it.
00:55:39Look at the press.
00:55:40What this will look like.
00:55:41If I have to call my security,
00:55:43all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:45Get out.
00:55:46Babe, just-
00:55:47Now.
00:55:48Just give me your hand.
00:55:49Come on.
00:55:50No.
00:55:51I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:53Nobody sees the real me.
00:55:55I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:57I see all of you.
00:55:59And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:56:02He truly knew me.
00:56:05He loved me.
00:56:07Every flaw.
00:56:09Every fear.
00:56:10Contract or not.
00:56:12He truly loved me.
00:56:15I saved you from social suicide!
00:56:17Saved me?
00:56:18You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:21Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:23And he saved me from you.
00:56:26Security!
00:56:29Security!
00:56:30Come on.
00:56:31Just let's talk about this.
00:56:32No.
00:56:33Come on.
00:56:34Celeste!
00:56:35Do something!
00:56:36Sabrina!
00:56:37Come on!
00:56:38Sabrina!
00:56:39Was that really necessary?
00:56:41I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:56:43and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:45Is that all you care about?
00:56:46The fame?
00:56:47The headlines?
00:56:48The brand deals?
00:56:49God!
00:56:50You're supposed to be my mother first.
00:56:53Not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:55Sabrina.
00:56:56You are being dramatic.
00:56:58Of course I care about you.
00:57:01I love you.
00:57:02Then prove it.
00:57:03If you ever want me in front of a camera again,
00:57:06then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:08You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:23I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:25In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:30I mean, you know this.
00:57:32You're a legend.
00:57:33I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:35Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:36You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:39I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing alright.
00:57:41I got projects.
00:57:42Come on!
00:57:43You're built for billion dollar franchises.
00:57:45Hollywood blockbusters.
00:57:46The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:57:49That's where you belong.
00:57:51To be honest, I already did all.
00:57:53It didn't really end well.
00:57:55Let me guess.
00:57:56A girl?
00:57:57If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:02You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:05You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:09You've given me a lot to think about.
00:58:10Three picture deal.
00:58:11Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:58:13Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:15I don't know what to say.
00:58:16Just say yes.
00:58:17You have my number.
00:58:19Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:21Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:23You can't run away from the past.
00:58:24You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:26Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:40Can we talk?
00:58:42Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:46Of course.
00:58:47It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:52Is this a personal story?
00:58:54Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:57Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:01Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:03You arrogant little shit.
00:59:04I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:17It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:19I need a favor.
00:59:20I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
00:59:26It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:30What?
00:59:31Mom?
00:59:32What are you doing?
00:59:36Did you just break my TV?
00:59:38Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:41You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:43You've been so kind though.
00:59:44Um, it's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:47He's back.
00:59:50Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:53Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:56I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:59:59I need to get on that movie.
01:00:01Absolutely not.
01:00:02You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:04If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:07Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:10He still loves me.
01:00:12He has to.
01:00:14I just need to talk to him.
01:00:17Let.
01:00:18Him.
01:00:19Go!
01:00:21Mom!
01:00:22Honey, I...
01:00:25You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:28I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:33I love you.
01:00:35I love you too.
01:00:38Here we go.
01:00:39This is, um...
01:00:42It's another movie deal.
01:00:43I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:45Okay.
01:01:00Did you get his location?
01:01:02The Oaks.
01:01:038 PM.
01:01:04After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:09He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:21She's not protecting me.
01:01:23She's protecting her business.
01:01:25And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:27But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:31It's so nice having you back.
01:01:33And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:35Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:37A couple?
01:01:39Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:43If you can even call them that.
01:01:44But you're healthy now.
01:01:45And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:47I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:01:49I love Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:52The marriage, the kids.
01:01:54I mean, we really tried.
01:01:56I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:02:00It's over.
01:02:01It's over.
01:02:02I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Nyssa could offer.
01:02:06Oh.
01:02:07You haven't heard?
01:02:08She dumped him.
01:02:09It was all over People Magazine.
01:02:10She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:11Oh, my God.
01:02:12What?
01:02:13Daniel!
01:02:14Stop!
01:02:15What?
01:02:16What?
01:02:17What?
01:02:18What?
01:02:19What?
01:02:20What?
01:02:21What?
01:02:22What?
01:02:23What?
01:02:24What?
01:02:25What?
01:02:26What?
01:02:27What?
01:02:28What?
01:02:29What?
01:02:30What?
01:02:31What?
01:02:32What?
01:02:33What?
01:02:34What?
01:02:35What?
01:02:36What?
01:02:39What?
01:02:43Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:44I'm here to help you.
01:02:45Sabrina, you're making a scene, let's go home.
01:02:50Sabrina?
01:02:51How could you?
01:02:52What?
01:02:53I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:56I begged and pleaded.
01:02:57Stop lying. I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:03And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:09My God. You're disgusting.
01:03:11I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:13Not anymore.
01:03:14Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:19I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:22I'm your mother. I only want what's best for you.
01:03:26What's best for me?
01:03:30You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:35That all ends today.
01:03:39You're fired.
01:03:41Fired.
01:03:43No.
01:03:46No.
01:03:51No.
01:03:52You can't do this to me. Please. Please, sweetie.
01:03:55I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:57You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:02I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:04You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:07There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:11I made you.
01:04:12You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:14I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:25We're done here, Mom.
01:04:27If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:34Without another word.
01:04:35I have something to say.
01:04:49I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:52I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:55I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:04:59I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:09Apologize to your father.
01:05:11Do I have to?
01:05:13Who raised you?
01:05:15Cared for you?
01:05:18Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:21Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:25He did.
01:05:26He loved you.
01:05:28But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:30I was wrong.
01:05:31Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:36And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:41I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:45It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:47I still love you.
01:05:48Okay.
01:05:49Come on, Jackson.
01:05:50Let's go.
01:05:51Let's go.
01:05:56I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:00For everything.
01:06:10I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:13You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:15Oh.
01:06:17I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:19They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:22They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:29People can change.
01:06:31But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:34And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:45Daniel!
01:06:45Daniel!
01:06:46Daniel!
01:06:47I'm here, Daniel.
01:06:48Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on the shelf for ten years?
01:06:54Yes.
01:06:55I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:06:59But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:04I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:13Way to go, John!
01:07:29Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:36We'll keep in touch.
01:07:43How many more do we have today?
01:07:44Forty.
01:07:45Sir.
01:07:45Jeez.
01:07:46Hey, boy!
01:07:47How are we looking?
01:07:49We're still digging.
01:07:50No one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:53I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:57All right, here's the deal.
01:07:58The studio is on my ass looking to lock and delete today.
01:08:02Today?
01:08:03Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:04That's why I love you, man.
01:08:05Cool under pressure.
01:08:07This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:08:12Oh, my God.
01:08:13All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:15But that would be...
01:08:18Emily Blake.
01:08:21Emily.
01:08:26Emily.
01:08:26Amazing, as always.
01:08:30You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:32Please.
01:08:34I wasn't going to miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:38How's LA treating you?
01:08:40Oh, my God.
01:08:41Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:44But I am...
01:08:45I'm glad to be back.
01:08:47Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:49Yeah.
01:08:50But it suits you.
01:08:53You definitely belong here.
01:08:57I do miss you, though.
01:08:59It was fun.
01:09:00Playing the part.
01:09:02British starlet.
01:09:03American director.
01:09:04I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:10Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:12I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:15Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:18You...
01:09:19You were amazing, as always.
01:09:21It's just...
01:09:23It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:25I never was, was I?
01:09:30Anyways...
01:09:31Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:34Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:36Yeah.
01:09:48Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:50Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:53And be generous with the sugar.
01:09:55Oh, my God.
01:10:02What am I going to do?
01:10:09That was quick!
01:10:19What are you doing here?
01:10:22I came to audition.
01:10:25Did you bring any representation?
01:10:28No.
01:10:29I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:33I'm starting fresh.
01:10:35Right, um...
01:10:35Hi.
01:10:38I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:44Don't let me go!
01:10:45I got you.
01:10:46I'll never let you go.
01:10:50Are you okay?
01:10:51Yeah.
01:10:52It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:53never really healed.
01:10:56I understand.
01:10:56I understand.
01:11:03Daniel Johnson.
01:11:06Nice to meet you.
01:11:09Please.
01:11:09Whenever you're ready.
01:11:18Whatever you're ready.
01:11:18I'm ready.
01:11:18I'm ready.
01:11:18I'm ready.
01:11:20I'm ready.
