00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:08That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:33Daniel 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.
00:00:45Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son. But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business. His grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:16But her career is hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:20You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her.
00:01:31So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:34I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41It pressed in Eastwood's really back. And 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. What'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, ugh.
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:18Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:23Then I will be free.
00:02:25Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw it. Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah. And then he cheated on you. And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:47I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:49Lunch is on the stove. But 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 that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:17Ugh.
00:03:18I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick.
00:03:21This isn't easy, but I know.
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:27I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:31You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them.
00:03:36Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:40You 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.
00:04:19Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:22Huh?
00:04:22I want a...
00:04:27I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:28Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:30Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:37Seriously, your 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.
00:04:59Hard 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.
00:05:15Love 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.
00:05:26The 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, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:48At 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.
00:05:59I 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, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:13I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:21I am, mom.
00:06:22And I promise, very soon, everything'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.
00:06:38What is it, mom?
00:06:42Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:53Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:01Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:04All right, cut.
00:07:11That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:14We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:18Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:20I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:24Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:25If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:31If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:31She's pretty sure that she's gonna have an old man.
00:07:41She did the ass.
00:07:42I'll see you again.
00:07:44Um…
00:07:44She said I went away.
00:07:46Okay, so now.
00:07:47She said I missed any school.
00:07:49Take her.
00:07:50She declined by the police to the police.
00:07:51SheANS.
00:07:52You've destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:05There's nothing left.
00:08:19Rhea, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:23I mean it.
00:08:25Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:29Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:44No!
00:08:46Daniel!
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.
00:09:04I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:05I see all of you.
00:09:08And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:09Good to see you.
00:09:19Oh, my gosh.
00:09:20How long has it been?
00:09:20Oh, too long.
00:09:21What's 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.
00:10:05He'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.
00:10:15So what do you say, huh?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:21It's fine.
00:10:23It's fine.
00:10:24Just relax, okay?
00:10:26Be nice.
00:10:35Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:41when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:43Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:45But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:10:55Oh, 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?
00:11:06Oh, what 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.
00:11:16I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:22Oh, babe.
00:11:24For 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.
00:11:33Which 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.
00:12:01What to do?
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 would invite 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.
00:12:19Let's go.
00:12:19Gotcha.
00:12:20There we go.
00:12:21Oh.
00:12:23There's Paps.
00:12:24You 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.
00:12:37Hi.
00:12:39Jackson.
00:12:45Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:49Contract's fine.
00:12:52It's over.
00:12:52Why 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.
00:13:04Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:17Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:24She 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.
00:13:37OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed 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.
00:13:46Are you two dating?
00:13:47Oh, well, actually.
00:13:48This is totally a date.
00:13:51All 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 brain?
00:14:04It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:06You get it, right?
00:14:08So, 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.
00:14:29This 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.
00:14:54I 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 when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with 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 school with it.
00:15:14Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:15Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:17Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:18Come on.
00:15:22Let's get Michelle.
00:15:23Now 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!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:56From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:00Daniel, he's here?
00:16:01He...
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 Felicia.
00:16:07It 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.
00:16:19What 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 spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:33You'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.
00:16:43I 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.
00:17:05Daniel, what is this?
00:17:08I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:11All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
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.
00:17:37Whoa.
00:17:37Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:40That'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?
00:17:56Maybe 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.
00:18:06And 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.
00:18:30Better than yours.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:33Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:35Oh!
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.
00:18:46Don'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.
00:18:54Well, but how lucky for him.
00:18:56He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:59Oh, Daniel.
00:19:00Whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:03Listen, man.
00:19:04I...
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 a little drunk.
00:19:14You need to go right now.
00:19:15All right.
00:19:18Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:20I...
00:19:21I...
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?
00:19:38My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:44Whatever, 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
00:20:00husband.
00:20:00Daniel, can 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?
00:20:17No, 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...
00:20:28And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:47Um...
00:20:47I 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.
00:21:04Please, Daniel.
00:21:15I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:22If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:28I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:31Look 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.
00:22:16I got some.
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:21What do you need?
00:22:22Oh, oh.
00:22:23Yeah, there you go.
00:22:25I'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?
00:22:40No.
00:22:42A 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.
00:22:53What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:04Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:05I want to play with the fist, 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.
00:23:14Here we go.
00:23:15Ooh!
00:23:16No!
00:23:18Not to play with them!
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...
00:23:35bad examples.
00:23:36Yeah?
00:23:37What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:39You'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 man-servant 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 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, so why don't you make this little vacay of yours, Herman?
00:24:16Maybe it will be.
00:24:17But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:20I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:21You?
00:24:22Man of the house?
00:24:23Please.
00:24:24You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:25I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:29You're a washed up pack!
00:24:30Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:31How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:32I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:33I'm a fucking star!
00:24:34A star?
00:24:35A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:36Jackson, come on.
00:24:37I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:38No, I'm not going!
00:24:39Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:40Preston!
00:24:41Preston!
00:24:42Preston!
00:24:43Preston!
00:24:44Preston!
00:24:46Preston!
00:24:53You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:19What was that?
00:25:23Daniel! What is happening?
00:25:29It was Dad, Mom. Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:33What?
00:25:34He got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:36What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:37I just wanted to hang out with Jackson. He came in looking for a fight.
00:25:40What? I didn't?
00:25:41Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you? You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:45I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:49It's just a fucking fish tank! Grow up!
00:25:51Remember we're in the public eye? What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:56What? Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:25:59Maybe I should go. I'm sorry.
00:26:02No! Oh my God!
00:26:04He's lying!
00:26:06You're a monster!
00:26:08And in front of your son? You have to be kidding!
00:26:12We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:14We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:18Clean this up!
00:26:20Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:26She's mine now, loser.
00:26:37Hello, 9-1-1. What's your emergency?
00:26:39I'm bleeding out. I think I hit an artery. I need an ambulance now. Now!
00:26:44You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.
00:26:59To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:05Uh... yeah. It's pretty obvious.
00:27:09Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:12I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story holding hands, wiping tears. I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:26You said, um, a couple?
00:27:29I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:27:34She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted. She was so sweet.
00:27:44Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:46No, it's... it's an old wound.
00:27:50I tore it, actually, um...
00:27:52Ten years ago.
00:27:54Daniel!
00:27:56Sweet and caring.
00:27:58So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:01He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:04And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:11Fuck it.
00:28:13Need to get my shit in y'all.
00:28:15Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:19You once liked my short film. I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:22It needs the right producer. I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:37Where have you been? I kept calling. I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:41Huh?
00:28:47What? I've been busy.
00:28:48Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:50Seriously? Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:54I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:56Uh, yeah. That's what you want to call it?
00:29:01I... I just... I'm sorry. I... bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:11It is what it is.
00:29:15But 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... I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:33Seriously. I... I care about you.
00:29:43I'm not mad.
00:29:45I've known you for 14 years. I know when you're angry.
00:29:48Really? I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:51I pay attention?
00:29:53Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:56She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:58That's all this marriage ever was to her. A headline. A performance.
00:30:04Sabrina.
00:30:09Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:10You know what? I 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 telling me you finally read it?
00:30:26Well, yeah. The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:30The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:33I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:35Me and you. The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:40I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:44A long time ago.
00:30:46Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:52Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:56There 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.
00:31:04What?
00:31:19I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful.
00:31:25I've had a lot of experience making it for you and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:30That's not what I meant.
00:31:32I like it when you make it.
00:31:35I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:38To 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...
00:32:11Just leave it.
00:32:13I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:16And what?
00:32:17It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:19I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:22And look what I get for it.
00:32:24You know what?
00:32:25Forget it.
00:32:26I have a premiere.
00:32:27We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:32What?
00:32:33Is 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
00:32:54family's NDA.
00:32:55This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:56Remember that.
00:32:57I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:02I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:15Oh, please.
00:33:16She's always been so secretive.
00:33:17I 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.
00:33:27Oh, well.
00:33:28If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:29Come here.
00:33:30Oh.
00:33:31Jackson!
00:33:32We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:33Do you know where she is?
00:33:34Or who she's with?
00:33:35She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:36He's been staying with us.
00:33:37Oh.
00:33:38Really?
00:33:39Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:40Oh, I hope so.
00:33:41I really hope so.
00:33:42He's way cooler than my old born real dad.
00:33:43Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:33:47Yeah.
00:33:48He usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:33:53What are you doing here?
00:33:54I'm a kid.
00:33:55I'm a kid.
00:33:56She's in the house.

00:48:19you were about to throw yourself off a rooftop
00:48:22Daniel did what he was meant to do
00:48:24he kept you together
00:48:25where?
00:48:26where did he go?
00:48:28you were about to throw yourself off a rooftop
00:48:29Daniel did what he was meant to do
00:48:31he kept you together
00:48:32Where? Where did he go?
00:48:34I know he told you where he went. Where is he?
00:48:38You can do better than him.
00:48:40You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:44Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:46No! He can't be gone! He can't!
00:48:49Yes, he is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:48:52He can't be! He can't be gone! He can't!
00:49:02I'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.
00:49:25Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:28Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:35What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:38Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:41Nobody told me how.
00:49:43Oh, man, how uncomfortable these designer's shoes would be.
00:49:46I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:48Yeah, 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 gave up the dream.
00:49:56But London, London lit the fire under me,
00:50:00and I feel like I found my voice,
00:50:02and it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director,
00:50:08will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
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,
00:50:20that will make your life a living hell.
00:50:25Daniel?
00:50:40He's no good at bragging about himself,
00:50:41so I'll do it for him.
00:50:43Daniel is a true auteur and 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.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:02We'll never tell.
00:51:03Oh, 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.
00:51:14I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:51:16I can.
00:51:17The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:22Daniel, enjoy this.
00:51:25And get used to compliments.
00:51:28There's already asked of us.
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, we'll have it.
00:51:41Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:51:46Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:59I know.
00:52:00Our press is good press.
00:52:02Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:52:12bitch.
00:52:14He can't do this to me.
00:52:16Sabrina.
00:52:17You don't need him.
00:52:19Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:20How could 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.
00:52:44Look at what you've got.
00:52:45A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an 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.
00:52:58I don't have him.
00:53:01Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:02Go have the chef make something.
00:53:04No, I hate what she cooks, and 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, Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:15Daniel'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?
00:53:23You 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, you 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 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 going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:59It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:05Hey, babe.
00:54:07Are 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 and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:21That'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.
00:54:33We're America's power couple.
00:54:34To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:38Face 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, but I haven't.
00:54:52Because you know what?
00:54:53Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:55It's not like that.
00:54:56Okay?
00:54:56Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:00I want to marry you.
00:55:01We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:03What's my birthday?
00:55:05Huh?
00:55:06What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:08What's my favorite color?
00:55:09My favorite song?
00:55:10Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:12Oh, oh, wait.
00:55:14What'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.
00:55:22This isn't a relationship.
00:55:24This 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.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:33We're over.
00:55:34Hey, babe, come on.
00:55:36Please.
00:55:36Please, I love you.
00:55:37Just think about it.
00:55:39Think of the press.
00:55:40What this will look like.
00:55:41If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:45Get out.
00:55:46Hey, just...
00:55:47Now.
00:55:48Just give me your hand.
00:55:49Come on.
00:55:49No.
00:55:50I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:54Nobody sees around me.
00:55:55I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:57I see all of you.
00:55:59And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:02He truly knew me.
00:56:06He loved me.
00:56:07Every flaw.
00:56:09Every fear.
00:56:11Contract or not.
00:56:13He 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.
00:56:22Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:23And he saved me from you.
00:56:25Oh.
00:56:27Security.
00:56:29Security.
00:56:30Come on.
00:56:30Just let's talk about this.
00:56:32No.
00:56:33Come on.
00:56:34Celeste.
00:56:34Do something.
00:56:36Sabrina.
00:56:37Come on, Sabrina.
00:56:39Was that really necessary?
00:56:41I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:45Is that all you care about?
00:56:47The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:56:50God.
00:56:51You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:56Sabrina.
00:56:57You are being dramatic.
00:56:59Of course I care about you.
00:57:01I love you.
00:57:03Then prove it.
00:57:04But if you ever want me in front of a camera again, then 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.
00:57:26In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:31I mean, you know this.
00:57:32You're a legend.
00:57:33I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:35All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:37You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:39I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:41I got projects.
00:57:42Come on.
00:57:43You're built for billion-dollar franchises.
00:57:45It's Hollywood blockbusters.
00:57:47The one that gets made in L.A., not London.
00:57:49That's where you belong.
00:57:51To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:57:54It 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're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:11Three-picture deal.
00:58:12Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:58:13Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:16I don't know what to say.
00:58:17Just say yes.
00:58:18You have my number.
00:58:19Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:22Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:23You can't run away from the past.
00:58:24You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:38Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:41Can we talk?
00:58:43Daniel, 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 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.
00:59:00She knows who she is.
00:59:01Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:06You arrogant little shit.
00:59:09I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I 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 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.
00:59:31Mom?
00:59:32What are you doing?
00:59:32Did 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.
00:59:45Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:47He's back.
00:59:52Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:54Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:57I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:59:59I need to get on that movie.
01:00:01Absolutely not.
01:00:03You'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.
01:00:08Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:10He still loves me.
01:00:13He has to.
01:00:15I just need to talk to him.
01:00:17Let him go.
01:00:21Mom.
01:00:23Honey, 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.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:35I love you too.
01:00:38Here we go.
01:00:41This is, um, it's another movie deal.
01:00:44I'll tell you about it after.
01:01:00Did you get his location?
01:01:02The Oaks.
01:01:048 p.m.
01:01:05After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:10He'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.
01:01:30It's so nice having you back.
01:01:34And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:36Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:38A couple?
01:01:40Daniel, it was ten 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.
01:01:48I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make
01:01:52it work.
01:01:53The marriage, the kids.
01:01:55I mean, we really tried.
01:01:57I thought I could make it go for it.
01:01:58But, um, it's over.
01:02:02It's over.
01:02:02I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood can offer.
01:02:14Oh.
01:02:15You haven't heard?
01:02:17She dumped him.
01:02:19It was all over People Magazine.
01:02:21She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:24Oh, my God.
01:02:25What?
01:02:26Daniel.
01:02:34Stop.
01:02:42Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:45I'm here to help you.
01:02:46Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:02:49Let's go home.
01:02:50Sabrina?
01:02:51How could you?
01:02:52I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said,
01:02:56no, I begged and pleaded.
01:02:58Stop 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, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin
01:03:08him.
01:03:09My God.
01:03:10You're disgusting.
01:03:11I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:13Not anymore.
01:03:14Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:18I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:22I'm your mother.
01:03:23I only want what's best for you.
01:03:27What'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.
01:03:42Fired.
01:03:44No.
01:03:46No.
01:03:47You can't do this to me.
01:03:54Please, 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.
01:04:05You 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.
01:04:17I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:25We're done here, Mom.
01:04:26If 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.
01:04:50I'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.
01:05:00I'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.
01:05:37And 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.
01:05:51Let's go.
01:05:55I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:00For everything.
01:06:11I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:13You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:15I 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.
01:06:32But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:34And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:45Daniel!
01:06:46Daniel!
01:06:46Daniel!
01:06:47It's awesome!
01:06:47Here, Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a 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!
01:07:15Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:36We'll keep it done.
01:07:43How many more do we have today?
01:07:4440, sir.
01:07:45Jesus.
01:07:46Yay, boy!
01:07:47How are we looking?
01:07:49Still digging.
01:07:50Um, no 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's on my ass looking to lock in the lead 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.
01:08:09Oh, my God.
01:08:13All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:15Ah.
01:08:15That would be...
01:08:17Emily Blake.
01:08:21Emily.
01:08:22Amazing, 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.
01:08:37How'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.
01:09:05I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:10Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:12I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:15It just costs 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.
01:09:27I 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.
01:09:42Get your coffee, and you know what?
01:09:50Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:53And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:00Oh, my God.
01:10:02What am I going to do?
01:10:03That was quick.
01:10:19What are you doing here?
01:10:22I came to audition.
01:10:27Did you bring any representation?
01:10:28No.
01:10:30I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:33I'm starting fresh.
01:10:35Right, um...
01:10:37Hi.
01:10:40I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:44Don't let me go!
01:10:45I got you.
01:10:47I'll never let you go.
01:10:50Are you okay?
01:10:51Yeah.
01:10:52It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:54never really healed.
01:10:58I understand.
01:11:02Daniel Johnson.
01:11:06Nice to meet you.
01:11:09Please.
01:11:18Whenever you're ready.
01:11:46Bye.
01:11:48Bye.
01:11:50Bye.
01:11:50Bye.
01:11:51Bye.
01:11:51Bye.
01:11:51Bye.
