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.
00:07:31Two hair.
00:07:31Two hair.
00:07:36You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:21Stay back. I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:28Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:33No!
00:08:44Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:48No! Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:54I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:01Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:05I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:12Good to see you.
00:09:14Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, too 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.
00:09:28Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel, Preston's gonna 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 Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale 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.
00:10:34Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized,
00:10:38I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:43Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:10:55Ooh, careful. You all right?
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.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:22What?
00:11:23For real?
00:11:24Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:28Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:30Rich.
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.
00:11:40See, 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.
00:11:53So, 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.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:03All of you insist. I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06Okay.
00:12:07Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:14So, anyways.
00:12:15Come on, Ben, let's go.
00:12:18Let's go.
00:12:19Gotcha.
00:12:20There we go.
00:12:21Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:24You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:30You're right.
00:12:31It is the last time.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
00:12:37Hi.
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.
00:13:14Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:23She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:28Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:29I could scream.
00:13:30I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:32Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:36OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:40A scene that I wrote.
00:13:41Uncredited, of course.
00:13:42Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:45Wait.
00:13:46Are you two dating?
00:13:47Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:50All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:58Do 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?
00:14:10I don't know.
00:14:16So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18It's okay, babe.
00:14:19We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:30This is so going viral.
00:14:31I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:33That looks like more than dating.
00:14:35Is 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.
00:14:43That'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.
00:14:54My 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.
00:15:05Every 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.
00:15:14Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:17Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:18Come on, let's get Michelle.
00:15:22Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:52Daniel!
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?
00:16:01Did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:04Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:05I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:06I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:08Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:10Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:14Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:15Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:17Jackson, enough.
00:16:20What do I do?
00:16:22Well, that's it then.
00:16:24Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:25I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:29I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:32You're really good at that.
00:16:34Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:38A one-way ticket.
00:16:40So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over.
00:16:45But if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:49I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me.
00:16:52He has to understand.
00:16:54This is Hollywood.
00:16:55It's just part of the job.
00:16:58Daniel, I can explain.
00:16:59Daniel, what is this?
00:17:06I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:09All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:14Honey!
00:17:15Oh, what a coincidence!
00:17:17We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:21Isn'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.
00:17:39That's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:43Just 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.
00:17:54You 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.
00:18:02No, you know what?
00:18:03I'll go.
00:18:05And clearly she wants you.
00:18:07I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:08Daniel, wait.
00:18:11I won't ever let you go.
00:18:12He won't leave.
00:18:13He promised.
00:18:15It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:17We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:20I'm gonna go back.
00:18:24Daniel!
00:18:28Please.
00:18:29Better than yours.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:32Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:34Oh!
00:18:36Oh, good.
00:18:37You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:43It's fun.
00:18:45What?
00:18:46Don'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.
00:18:58Oh.
00:18:59Oh, Daniel.
00:19:00Whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:02Okay.
00:19:03Listen, man.
00:19:04I...
00:19:05I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:08You can trust me.
00:19:11Preston, I think you're absolutely wrong.
00:19:13You need to go right now.
00:19:14All right.
00:19:16Oh, hey.
00:19:18Daniel, seriously.
00:19:19Listen, 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 gonna 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?
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:43Whatever.
00:19:44I'm going to bed.
00:19:48You know...
00:19:50I 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.
00:20:01Daniel...
00:20:02Can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:06My God.
00:20:07God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:12Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:16No, it's not like that.
00:20:18I...
00:20:19What?
00:20:21You know what?
00:20:22Fine.
00:20:24You two look great together.
00:20:26Daniel, I...
00:20:27I...
00:20:39And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:42Um...
00:20:43I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:54Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:58I was never the homemaker.
00:21:00You're the homemaker.
00:21:05Please, Daniel.
00:21:06I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:21If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:27I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:30Look at her now.
00:21:44Playing house for another man.
00:21:46If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:49There he is.
00:21:51God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:21:54Man.
00:21:56No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:21:58Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:00Hmm.
00:22:02Hmm.
00:22:04Hmm.
00:22:06Hmm.
00:22:08Hmm.
00:22:10Hmm.
00:22:11Hmm.
00:22:12Hmm.
00:22:13Hmm.
00:22:14Hmm.
00:22:15Hmm.
00:22:16Hmm.
00:22:17Hmm.
00:22:18Hmm.
00:22:19Hmm.
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 I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:27Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:29Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:34Hey, uh, you'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?
00:22:49It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:02What'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!
00:23:18Not 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.
00:23:29It'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?
00:23:39You're so annoying!
00:23:41Don't push.
00:23:47I 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?
00:23:56Just show me.
00:24:00Call it a lesson.
00:24:01I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:02He's not your kid.
00:24:04I wish I was!
00:24:06I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:09I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:11Ouch!
00:24:12I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:14So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?
00:24:17Maybe 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, please.
00:24:24You'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!
00:24:31Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:33How were 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, Preston, Preston!
00:24:54You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:24:55What was that?
00:24:56You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:01What was that?
00:25:02God!
00:25:03Daniel!
00:25:04What is happening?
00:25:05It was Dad, Mom!
00:25:06Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:07What?
00:25:08You're so scared!
00:25:09It got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:10What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:11I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:12I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:13What?
00:25:14I was so scared!
00:25:15You 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 while I'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.
00:26:12We 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.
00:26:56So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:00To be honest, I 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.
00:27:12I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:20True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:24I've been obsessed with him 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.
00:27:44You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:47No, it's...
00:27:49It's an old wound.
00:27:52I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:54Sweet 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,
00:28:04and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:12Fuck it.
00:28:14Let me 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? I've been busy.
00:28:49Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:51Uh, seriously?
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 a line.
00:29:10It is what it is.
00:29:16But I mean, you 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 I just...
00:29:31I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:33I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:35I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:36Seriously.
00:29:37I...
00:29:38I care about you.
00:29:43I'm not mad.
00:29:44I'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.
00:29:51I 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.
00:30:03Sabrina.
00:30:09Sabrina, I'm good.
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 we could revisit your script.
00:30:22I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:24You're telling me you finally read it?
00:30:27Well, yeah.
00:30:28The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:30The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:34I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:36Me and you.
00:30:37The 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,
00:30:50we 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.
00:30:58I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:02Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:04Bye.
00:31:17Hmm.
00:31:19Hmm.
00:31:19I don't know what you do,
00:31:21but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:31:24and it was awful.
00:31:26Well, if I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:31:29I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:31That's not what I meant.
00:31:33I 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.
00:32:02Look what you made me do.
00:32:09Just leave it.
00:32:13I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:17And 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 premiere.
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.
00:33:30Oh, well.
00:33:31If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:33Come here.
00:33:34Oh.
00:33:37Jackson!
00:33:38We 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, really?
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.
00:34:05What 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.
00:34:20Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:22I'm your father.
00:34:23I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:28Is there a problem?
00:34:33Oh, my God.
00:34:35That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flop 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,
00:34:50because 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,
00:35:00abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:03That'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?
00:35:16You 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, maybe 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,
00:35:35so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:37Hmm.
00:35:38What the hell?
00:36:00What happened?
00:36:01Oh, my God.
00:36:04Daniel.
00:36:05What the hell happened?
00:36:07Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:08Are you okay?
00:36:10Look 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.
00:36:25No, no, that's not true.
00:36:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:36Daniel, is that true?
00:36:40Sabrina.
00:36:43Oh, yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:47I think one of them's broken.
00:36:49Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:36:52But Daniel, imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:12Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:15I have to help Preston.
00:37:19I have to help Preston.
00:37:22Come on, Jackson.
00:37:40Daniel!
00:37:41I got you.
00:37:42Don't let me go!
00:37:44She's made her choice.
00:37:46There's no going back.
00:37:47We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:00Well, 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.
00:38:36Don'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 dead?
00:39:05Oh!
00:39:06I'm not going to call the doctor.
00:39:07Okay?
00:39:08What are you doing?
00:39:11I thought you were hurt.
00:39:13I think I'll pull through.
00:39:21Preston, what are you doing?
00:39:22One of the worst wanted to.
00:39:25Come on.
00:39:25I know you want this.
00:39:26I see the way you look at me.
00:39:28Now that Daniel's gone,
00:39:30we have the house to ourself,
00:39:32we 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?
00:40:02Preston, get off.
00:40:04What?
00:40:06Babe, we can finally.
00:40:07Come on.
00:40:08I said get off.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:11No, forget about him.
00:40:13Look, I love Jackson,
00:40:16and I'm ready to be the man
00:40:17that you've always wanted.
00:40:18I'm ready to be a dad
00:40:20to that little boy.
00:40:22I mean, come on.
00:40:23Sabrina, your son,
00:40:24your mother,
00:40:26even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:27What?
00:40:29Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:32What have I done?
00:40:37Where is he?
00:40:39What about me?
00:40:40You had your chance
00:40:41ten years ago.
00:40:43I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:45Hello?
00:40:52Excuse me.
00:40:54Excuse me.
00:40:55Hi.
00:40:55Have you seen my husband?
00:40:58Please.
00:40:58He was someone bleeding out.
00:40:59I saw him stumble outside
00:41:01holding his head
00:41:02after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:04He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:07Oh, no.
00:41:09God, Daniel, where are you?
00:41:11I'm sorry,
00:41:12but the number you are trying to reach
00:41:14is no longer in service.
00:41:15Please try again later.
00:41:18What have I done?
00:41:19Come on, Daniel.
00:41:31Answer me.
00:41:37He's not gone.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:41He loves me too much
00:41:51to abandon me
00:41:52when I need him the most.
00:41:54No.
00:41:57It's not possible.
00:41:59He will be back.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:06No.
00:42:06No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:11No.
00:42:13Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:16I'm zero, Castillo Jackson.
00:42:18The waves are all spousal support.
00:42:21No.
00:42:22No.
00:42:22He can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me.
00:42:25I won't sign off on him.
00:42:36No.
00:42:38All this time,
00:42:39he's going to leave me?
00:42:41It can't be
00:42:57It's not a
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter
00:43:01My mom will look it over anyways
00:43:03He loves me
00:43:05He loves Jackson
00:43:07He wouldn't just leave us
00:43:09We're his family
00:43:11After all these years
00:43:13Everything we've been through
00:43:14I got you
00:43:37Don't let me go
00:43:39Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:46Daniel?
00:43:47No, it's mom
00:43:49Is everything okay?
00:43:50You sound panicked?
00:43:51Mom!
00:43:53Mom!
00:43:55Daniel!
00:43:56He just left us!
00:43:59Do you know where he is?
00:44:01We have to find him
00:44:02We can check the hospital
00:44:03Or the...
00:44:04Oh, honey
00:44:05It's over
00:44:07Daniel's not coming back
00:44:09You knew?
00:44:11I'll come over in the morning
00:44:12And explain everything
00:44:14I'm hungry!
00:44:23Dad!
00:44:25Breakfast should be ready by now
00:44:27Tax him?
00:44:31I have something to tell you
00:44:32Your dad
00:44:35Your dad
00:44:38He's left us
00:44:41I'm sorry, but he's not coming back
00:44:43Yay!
00:44:44He's gone!
00:44:45He's gone!
00:44:46No, no, no, no
00:44:47Why would you say that?
00:44:48He was so embarrassing
00:44:50Even Mr. Eastwood
00:44:51Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:53What did Preston say?
00:44:55He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:44:57Should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:44:59Then raising a young man
00:45:00He was so lame and boring
00:45:04Now he's gone!
00:45:05Mr. Eastwood is way cooler
00:45:08He can be my new dad
00:45:09Jackson!
00:45:10You have a dad
00:45:12And he's cared for you for seven years
00:45:15Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:23Hello?
00:45:24Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:26Ms. 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
00:45:34Preston Eastwood
00:45:35Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37No
00:45:37But I'm not surprised
00:45:39Flag his name
00:45:40I want him frozen and cut off
00:45:42Jackson
00:45:45I 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
00:45:52The one who raised you and cared about you
00:45:54Is out there
00:45:55And we need to find him
00:45:56At all costs
00:45:58What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:01Huh?
00:46:02It's despicable
00:46:03I can't do this anymore
00:46:05I cancel everything
00:46:08The interviews
00:46:09The red carpets
00:46:10I don't want to be seen
00:46:12I can't pretend
00:46:14I just want him back
00:46:17Oh honey
00:46:18It's time to let him go
00:46:20You don't love him anyway
00:46:22You don't love him anyway
00:46:22And think 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
00:46:34He 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
00:46:47And the father of my son
00:46:49Yeah, 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?
00:47:02What are you talking about?
00:47:05Forget it
00:47:06Forget it
00:47:07Just pretend I didn't say anything
00:47:08When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day
00:47:12You 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
00:47:26I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina
00:47:31But no, it was all for your own good
00:47:35When Preston left you, you were distraught
00:47:41I had to save you
00:47:43She's lost without you, Daniel
00:47:45You'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
00:47:54Marry her
00:47:56Love her
00:47:56So that she's never alone again
00:47:59It was all just some sort of obligation
00:48:08How 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?
00:48:20You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop
00:48:27Daniel did what he was meant to do
00:48:30He kept you together
00:48:31Where?
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
00:48:42Hollywood starlet
00:48:43Believe me, it's for the best
00:48:45No
00:48:46He can't be gone
00:48:48He can't
00:48:49Yes
00:48:49He is gone
00:48:50And he is gone forever
00:48:52He can't be
00:48:53He 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
00:49:19That's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director
00:49:23Speaking of which, there he is now
00:49:27Mr. Daniel Johnson
00:49:28Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival
00:49:35What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:38Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed
00:49:40Nobody told me how
00:49:42Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be
00:49:45I've heard this talk of the sequel
00:49:47Uh, yeah, um
00:49:49God, my career has been a long time in the making
00:49:52And I've been very honest about it, actually
00:49:54I almost, I almost gave up the dream
00:49:56But London
00:49:58London lit the fire under me
00:50:00And I feel like I've found my voice
00:50:02And it really is
00:50:03Full steam ahead
00:50:04Speaking of London
00:50:05Since you're an American writer-director
00:50:08Will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:12Hollywood
00:50:13Get out of the country
00:50:15If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid
00:50:20I will make your life a living hell
00:50:22Daniel?
00:50:39He's no good at bragging about himself
00:50:41So I'll do it for him
00:50:43Daniel is a true auteur
00:50:45And a creative genius
00:50:47And it was a privilege to be his leading lady
00:50:50That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake
00:50:53Two-time Golden Globe Award winning actress
00:50:55And celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company
00:50:58Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional
00:51:02We'll never tell
00:51:03Oh my god, thanks for saving me
00:51:08She was practically eye-fucking you
00:51:11I know, jeez
00:51:12This is so surreal
00:51:14I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me
00:51:16I can
00:51:16The moment I read your script
00:51:19I knew you were special
00:51:20Daniel
00:51:22Enjoy this
00:51:24And get used to compliments
00:51:27There's already Oscar buzz
00:51:29Fuck
00:51:30Finish me, I know
00:51:31I feel like I'm dreaming
00:51:32You okay?
00:51:36You always do that when you're nervous
00:51:38I know, it's, um
00:51:39I'll have it
00:51:40Well
00:51:42The world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker
00:51:45Some of us just got a head start
00:51:47I know
00:51:59Our press is good press
00:52:01Daniel becomes an award-winning director
00:52:09And he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:13Ugh
00:52:13He 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!
00:52:42Don't you see it?
00:52:42Sabrina
00:52:43Look at what you've got
00:52:45A celebrated career
00:52:47A mansion in the hills
00:52:49An adorable kid
00:52:50Well, when he's not whining
00:52:52And don't forget about Preston
00:52:54Your dream man
00:52:56You have everything
00:52:58I don't have him
00:53:00Mom, I'm hungry
00:53:02Go have the chef make something
00:53:04No, I hate what she cooks
00:53:06And 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
00:53:17And 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
00:53:26A doormat
00:53:27Daniel's a doormat
00:53:29Daniel's a doormat
00:53:31Enough!
00:53:32You little shit!
00:53:35Enough!
00:53:36Just enough!
00:53:37Sabrina?
00:53:39What's gotten into you?
00:53:41Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man
00:53:43Whoa
00:53:44What's going on in 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
00:53:57I'm going to put you in a timeout
00:53:58It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat
00:54:02Hey, baby
00:54:06Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:54:09Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:11Really?
00:54:11Loser?
00:54:12Yeah
00:54:12You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston
00:54:16And you've been mooching off of me
00:54:18And ordering my staff around like you're their boss
00:54:21That's really, really low
00:54:26Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand
00:54:30And 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, I know you're bankrupt
00:54:46You've been stealing from me all year long
00:54:49I could have you arrested
00:54:50But I haven't
00:54:52Because you know what?
00:54:53Honestly, I pity you
00:54:54It's not like that
00:54:56Okay?
00:54:56Look, I was just merging things like couples do
00:54:59I want to marry you
00:55:01We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty
00:55:03What's my birthday?
00:55:05Huh?
00:55:06What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:07What's my favorite color?
00:55:09My favorite song?
00:55:10Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:13Oh, oh wait
00:55:13What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:16You don't give a shit about me
00:55:18You don't love me
00:55:20You 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
00:55:29I don't want to ever see you again
00:55:31We're over
00:55:32We're over
00:55:34No, babe, babe
00:55:35Come on
00:55:36Please
00:55:36Please, I love you
00:55:37Just
00:55:37Just 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
00:55:47Just give me your hand
00:55:49Come on
00:55:49No
00:55:49I'm so alone
00:55:51Daniel
00:55:52Nobody sees the real me
00:55:55I see you, Sabrina
00:55:56I see all of you
00:55:58And you're never gonna be alone again
00:56:01He 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
00:56:25Security!
00:56:29Security!
00:56:30Come on, just let's talk about this
00:56:32No
00:56:32Come on
00:56:33Celeste
00:56:34Do something
00:56:35Sabrina!
00:56:37Come on
00:56:37Sabrina!
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?
00:56:47The fame?
00:56:48The headlines?
00:56:49The brand deals?
00:56:50God
00:56:51You're supposed to be my mother first
00:56:53Not some money-grubbing manager
00:56:56Sabrina
00:56:56You are being dramatic
00:56:58Of course I care about you
00:57:01I love you
00:57:02Then prove it
00:57:04If you ever want me in front of a camera again
00:57:07Then you will help me get Daniel back
00:57:09You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee
00:57:23I'm kind of in shock right now
00:57:25In film school
00:57:26We were literally told to watch every single film
00:57:29That 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
00:57:38In the wrong country
00:57:39I appreciate the compliment
00:57:40But 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
00:57:48Not London
00:57:49That's where you belong
00:57:50To be honest, I already did all
00:57:53It didn't really end well
00:57:55Let me guess
00:57:56My girl?
00:57:56If by a girl
00:57:58He means Hollywood royalty
00:58:00Sabrina Donovan
00:58:01You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak
00:58:05You can become a household name
00:58:07And I can get you there
00:58:09You're giving 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
00:58:17Just say yes
00:58:17You have my number
00:58:18Just don't keep me waiting
00:58:20Just remember, Daniel
00:58:23You can't run away from the past
00:58:24You have to face it
00:58:25And 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?
00:58:47Of course
00:58:47It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart
00:58:50And comes out on top
00:58:52Is this a personal story?
00:58:54Well, we get a hint at who the mystery woman is
00:58:57Oh
00:58:58She knows who she is
00:59:01I'll leave it at that
00:59:03You arrogant little shit
00:59:08I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country
00:59:11I would unleash a world of hell
00:59:13It's Celeste Donovan
00:59:19I need a favor
00:59:20I need you to track down Daniel Johnson
00:59:22And find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight
00:59:24Thank you
00:59:25It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot
00:59:30Mom?
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
00:59:44It's called
00:59:45You Drive Me Crazy
00:59:47He's back
00:59:50Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:54Honey
00:59:54I 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
01:00:06Then I will get a manager who will
01:00:07Honey
01:00:08I'm just looking out for you
01:00:10He still loves me
01:00:11He has to
01:00:14I just need to talk to him
01:00:17Let him go
01:00:19Mom
01:00:21Honey
01:00:23I
01:00:23You know I just want what's best for you
01:00:27Right?
01:00:28I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again
01:00:30I love you
01:00:33I love you too
01:00:36Here we go
01:00:39This is um
01:00:42It's another movie deal
01:00:43I'll tell you about it after
01:00:45Did you get his location?
01:01:02The Oaks
01:01:038pm
01:01:04After I'm done with him
01:01:07Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood
01:01:10He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever
01:01:12She's not protecting me
01:01:23She's protecting her business
01:01:25And I'm just a pawn
01:01:26But if she wants a scandal
01:01:28She'll get one
01:01:30So nice having you back
01:01:33And I don't just mean from the UK
01:01:35Yeah it's been a rough couple years hasn't it?
01:01:38A couple?
01:01:38Daniel it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people
01:01:43If you can even call them that
01:01:45But you're healthy now
01:01:46And I'm at the top of my career
01:01:47I mean yeah there was a time that I
01:01:50I love Sabrina
01:01:51But I really thought I could make it work
01:01:53The marriage
01:01:54The kids
01:01:54I mean we really tried
01:01:56I thought I could make it go for it
01:01:58But um
01:01:58It's over
01:02:01It's over
01:02:02I mean let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks
01:02:05Preston Niswick can offer
01:02:06Oh
01:02:15You haven't heard?
01:02:17She dumped him
01:02:18It was all over People magazine
01:02:20She ended it when his star faded
01:02:22Oh my god
01:02:25What?
01:02:31Daniel
01:02:32Stop
01:02:35Sabrina
01:02:43What are you doing here?
01:02:44I'm here to help you
01:02:46Sabrina
01:02:47You're making a scene
01:02:49Let's go home
01:02:50Sabrina
01:02:51How could you?
01:02:52What?
01:02:52I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition
01:02:55But he said no
01:02:56I begged and pleaded
01:02:57Stop lying
01:02:59I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink
01:03:03And I'll bet you called the paparazzi too
01:03:05To catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him
01:03:09My god
01:03:09You're disgusting
01:03:11I'm a manager
01:03:12Daniel
01:03:12Not anymore
01:03:13Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:19I don't even know who you are anymore
01:03:21I'm your mother
01:03:23I 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
01:03:34That all ends today
01:03:37You're fired
01:03:40Fired
01:03:42No
01:03:44No
01:03:47No
01:03:47No
01:03:51You can't do this to me
01:03:54Please
01:03:54Please, sweetie
01:03:55I have dedicated my life to you
01:03:57You dedicated your life to money
01:03:59And to fame
01:04:00I 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
01:04:10Shot
01:04:11I made you
01:04:12You'd be nothing without me
01:04:14I think she'll do just fine
01:04:19We're done here, mom
01:04:26If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life
01:04:30Or in mine
01:04:31You'll leave now
01:04:33Without another word
01:04:40I have something to say
01:04:47I'm sorry, Daniel
01:04:51I'm sorry I took you for granted
01:04:54All of those years
01:04:55I'm sorry I let my mom
01:04:57Manipulate and use you
01:04:59I'm sorry I brought
01:05:01Preston into our home
01:05:03And poison our son
01:05:05Towards you
01:05:06Apologize to your father
01:05:10Do 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
01:05:23And 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
01:05:32He gave us ten years of his life
01:05:34And we abused it
01:05:36And now there is nothing we can do to take that back
01:05:40I'm sorry, dad
01:05:42It's gonna be okay, son
01:05:46I still love you
01:05:48Okay
01:05:49Come on, Jackson
01:05:50Let's go
01:05:51I'm sorry, Daniel
01:05:59For everything
01:06:01I know that look, Daniel
01:06:12You're thinking of going back to them
01:06:14I just didn't know it'd be this hard
01:06:19They hurt you
01:06:20Daniel
01:06:21They tore you to pieces
01:06:24And then just expected you to come running back
01:06:27People can change
01:06:30But that doesn't change the past
01:06:34And the Oscar goes to
01:06:39Daniel Johnson
01:06:40For his original screenplay
01:06:42Loving Her
01:06:43Daniel
01:06:45Daniel
01:06:46Daniel
01:06:47Daniel
01:06:47Daniel
01:06:48Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscar
01:06:50For both writing and directing sat on the shelf for ten years?
01:06:54Yes
01:06:54I'll admit I got a little sidelined
01:06:56But, um
01:06:57I think I found my way back
01:06:59But, okay
01:07:01I'll tell you this
01:07:02Um
01:07:02I don't think you can truly love someone else
01:07:06Until
01:07:07You love yourself
01:07:10Way to go, John!
