00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:10That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:28Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:41You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:47Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:02I'll always love my son.
00:01:03But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business. His grandmother.
00:01:08You used to worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:12America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide. All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:20When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:26You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now.
00:01:31Stay.
00:01:32Marry her.
00:01:34Love her.
00:01:35So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:42And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:55Mom, Daniel.
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:02What's going on?
00:02:03Honey.
00:02:06I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:10If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.
00:02:13But I need to go.
00:02:15I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:18Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:24Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:30Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:32Ugh, can it wait?
00:02:34I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw it.
00:02:41Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:47I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:53I'm starving.
00:02:54When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:59No!
00:03:00I want to eat now!
00:03:12You always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:24I've got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:29Ew!
00:03:30What is this?
00:03:31It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:33I don't want healthy food.
00:03:35I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:36Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:38You can't have that every day.
00:03:40It's not healthy for you.
00:03:42But I want that.
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:51I waited.
00:04:01I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:05And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:17I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:27Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:43Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:45We'll get you some real food.
00:04:46Seriously.
00:04:52You're the only job to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:05It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever.
00:05:07My mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:08It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:11Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:17And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:21Yeah, you get it.
00:05:22Love you.
00:05:26I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:44The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:46We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:51After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, Mom.
00:06:07How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:10I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:18I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:20But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24Mickey, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, Mom.
00:06:34And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42You're wonderful, dear.
00:06:43You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, Mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:06:59Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.
00:07:13Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:17All right, cut.
00:07:24That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was the rising star.
00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:37Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:39If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:44If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:09You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:19Just let the love.
00:08:33Sabrina, don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:37I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:44Just...
00:08:45Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:05No!
00:09:06Don't let me go!
00:09:07I won't ever let you go.
00:09:14I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:21I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:25Good to see you.
00:09:26Good to see you.
00:09:35Oh, my gosh.
00:09:36How long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:39Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:43Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:46Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:50Oh, there he is!
00:09:52The assistant!
00:09:54I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:57How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:02Stop!
00:10:03I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into
00:10:08our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel!
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:15No, it's fine.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:33What are you saying, huh?
00:10:34Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:53Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:11:00again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:06Oh, careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:27Ew.
00:11:27What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets.
00:11:32Daniel.
00:11:33If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:42Well, babe, for real?
00:11:44Yeah.
00:11:45My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:50I'm rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:56I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:03You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:05They were so dull.
00:12:07Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything.
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston's a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:15So how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21What to do?
00:12:22Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28So.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:32Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:36So.
00:12:37Anyways.
00:12:38Come on, Ben.
00:12:38Let's go.
00:12:40Let's carry on you.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:41Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:49I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:54It is the last time.
00:12:56Guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:00Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract signed.
00:13:13It's over.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is there 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:30Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:51Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood?
00:13:57I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:14:04A scene that I wrote.
00:14:05Uncredited, of course.
00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:10Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:14All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:25You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:27Your brand?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:30You get it, right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43It's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:46This is so going viral.
00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:58It looks like more than dating.
00:15:01Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:06You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:08That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:11He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:14But Preston is awesome.
00:15:17He's an action spy.
00:15:18I wish he was my dad.
00:15:21My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if mom's school is it.
00:15:38Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:40Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on, then.
00:15:48Let's get Michelle.
00:16:05Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:08I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23And the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:27Daniel, he's here.
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:31Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:32I was just doing that for Lucy.
00:16:34I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:41Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:49Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53You need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:00You're really good at that.
00:17:02Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:17I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:22This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:43Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:48We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:52A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09That's fine.
00:18:10Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:13Just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look at how you see.
00:18:17Is it me?
00:18:18Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:24You know what?
00:18:25Maybe I should go.
00:18:26I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:29I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:33Now, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:37I'm going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:39I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:50I'm going to go back.
00:18:55Daniel!
00:18:56Oh, good.
00:19:08You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:15It's fun.
00:19:17But don't look at me like that.
00:19:18I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:21Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, man.
00:19:36I...
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and...
00:19:39What happened?
00:19:40You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're...
00:19:45Mm-hmm.
00:19:46You need to get out.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:48Oh, but hey.
00:19:50Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:52When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:58I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:08Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:15Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:28That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:33Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:38God, God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:50No, it's not like that.
00:20:52I...
00:20:53What?
00:20:55You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:01And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:21Um...
00:21:22I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:28Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:34I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:50No.
00:21:53I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:58If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:03I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:18Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:26There he is.
00:22:45God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:48Man, no, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-Lister, I guess.
00:22:56We've got some.
00:22:57Yeah.
00:22:59What do you mean?
00:22:59Oh, oh.
00:23:00Yeah, there you go.
00:23:02I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:08Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:18No.
00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:22Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:24It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:40What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:42Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:44I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:47And it's unfair!
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:50Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:53Ooh.
00:23:55No!
00:23:57Not to play with that.
00:23:59You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:08It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:15Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:18You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:23I said don't push.
00:24:28Go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-serving.
00:24:34You're not the house.
00:24:36Just shut up.
00:24:37Call it a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching a kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:42He's not your kid.
00:24:44I wish I was.
00:24:46I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:51Ouch.
00:24:52I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:24:54So why don't you make this little vacay of yours perfect?
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:03Man of the house?
00:25:04Please.
00:25:05You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed the pack.
00:25:12Still writing on all your old headlines.
00:25:14How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:16I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star!
00:25:20A star?
00:25:21A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:25Jackson, come on.
00:25:26I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:28No, I'm not going.
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:44You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:09Daniel!
00:26:10What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:15I'm so scared!
00:26:17That'd be pretty good, baby.
00:26:18What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:21I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:23What?
00:26:23I didn't.
00:26:24Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:28I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:33Bro, I'm up.
00:26:34Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What?
00:26:39Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:43Maybe I should go on, I'm sorry.
00:26:45No!
00:26:46Oh my God!
00:26:48He's lying!
00:26:50You're a monster!
00:26:52And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding!
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57Sure.
00:26:58We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:02Clean this up!
00:27:03Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:20Hello?
00:27:21What's your emergency?
00:27:23Wait, now.
00:27:24I think I hit an artery.
00:27:26I need an ambulance now.
00:27:28Now!
00:27:28You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:27:43with liquid.
00:27:44To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:47Trouble with the missus?
00:27:49Uh, yeah.
00:27:53Pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:03With Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:08I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:12You said, um, a couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official!
00:28:20She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:29Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:32No, it's...
00:28:35It's my wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Daniel!
00:28:41Sweet and caring, so Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:56Fuck you!
00:28:58Fuck you!
00:29:00I'm going to get my shit and go.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:07I have a strip I've been sitting on.
00:29:09I don't know if I've been sitting on it.
00:29:18It needs the right producer.
00:29:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:24Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:30Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:35I've been busy.
00:29:36I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:38Oh, seriously, why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:50I...
00:29:51I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry, I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:58It is what it is.
00:30:03But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:07You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:12And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:16But I just...
00:30:18I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:25I...
00:30:26I care about you.
00:30:31I'm not mad.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:44She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking.
00:31:06We could revisit your script.
00:31:11I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah.
00:31:17The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:25Me and you.
00:31:27The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:30I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes?
00:31:39And for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:43Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:52Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:32:18I've had a lot of experience making it for you.
00:32:20I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:32I knew it.
00:32:34You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:40God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:49It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:01Just leave it.
00:33:05I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:09And what?
00:33:10It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I have a mirror.
00:33:20Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:22What?
00:33:38Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:40Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:41Not quite.
00:33:42That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:50Remember that.
00:33:51I'll text you the address with Mimi.
00:34:04I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:10She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Oh, wow.
00:34:25If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:28Oh.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:33We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is?
00:34:37Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:40He's been staying with us.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:53Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:06What are you doing here?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:11Get lost!
00:35:14You embarrass us!
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad!
00:35:24Is there a problem?
00:35:30Oh, my God.
00:35:31That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flat over Preston?
00:35:36If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:40You're a pathetic loser!
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and head out,
00:35:46because we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:53You showed up uninvited, in street rags,
00:35:56abused Sabrina's kid, and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all I stopped with, then.
00:36:14You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:20How do you watch her now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh, yeah?
00:36:29What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:30You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on
00:36:33so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:57What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:00Oh, my God!
00:37:02Daniel!
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:17He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy!
00:37:21Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:31Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel, is that true?
00:37:38Sabrina.
00:37:38I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:46I think one of them is broken.
00:37:49Sabrina?
00:37:50Honey?
00:37:51We need to help Preston.
00:37:54But Daniel.
00:37:56Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:13Mommy, please.
00:38:14We can't leave him.
00:38:15I, I have, I have to help Preston.
00:38:33Come out, Jackson.
00:38:41Daniel!
00:38:41I got you.
00:38:43Don't let me go.
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:47There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:39:01Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:10There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:21If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:25I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it.
00:39:42Just dry.
00:39:43Don't worry about it.
00:39:44Just dry.
00:39:45I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:59Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:02I'm going to call a doctor.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:13What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:17Listen, what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:28Come on.
00:40:29I know you want this.
00:40:30I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32Now that Daniel's gone,
00:40:34we have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:38What am I doing?
00:40:50Daniel is still injured.
00:40:52He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Listen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally come here.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:18Look.
00:41:19I love Jackson,
00:41:21and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad
00:41:26to that little boy.
00:41:28I mean, come on.
00:41:28Sabrina, your son,
00:41:30your mother,
00:41:31even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:34What?
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:39No.
00:41:40No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:43Where is he?
00:41:44What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:56Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:00Excuse me.
00:42:01Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please.
00:42:05Here was someone bleeding out.
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside
00:42:08holding his head
00:42:09after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:10He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:14Oh, no.
00:42:16God, Daniel.
00:42:17Where are you?
00:42:18I'm sorry,
00:42:19but the number you are trying to reach
00:42:21is no longer in service.
00:42:22Please try again later.
00:42:23What have I done?
00:42:36Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:45He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:49I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:53He loves me too much
00:42:59to abandon me
00:43:00when I need him the most.
00:43:01No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:07He will be back.
00:43:11No.
00:43:11Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero,
00:43:25got zero,
00:43:25Jackson.
00:43:26The waves all spousal support.
00:43:30No.
00:43:30No, he can't leave me.
00:43:32He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on him.
00:43:35Come on.
00:43:36All this time,
00:43:49he's gonna leave me?
00:44:04It can't be.
00:44:06It's not her.
00:44:09Honestly,
00:44:10it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:19We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years,
00:44:23everything we've been through.
00:44:24Oh.
00:44:26Oh.
00:44:27Oh.
00:44:27Oh.
00:44:27Oh.

00:44:30Oh.
00:44:30Oh.
00:44:31Oh.
00:44:31Oh.
00:44:32I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go.
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel.
00:44:58No, it's mom.
00:44:59Is everything okay?
00:45:00He's not paying attention.
00:45:01Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:06Daniel.
00:45:07He just left us.
00:45:10Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him.
00:45:13We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:15Oh, honey.
00:45:17It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:30I'm hungry.
00:45:31I'm hungry.
00:45:32Dad!
00:45:33Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:34Dad!
00:45:35Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:37Jackson?
00:45:38I have something to tell you.
00:45:39Your dad.
00:45:40Your dad.
00:45:41Your dad.
00:45:42He's left us.
00:45:43I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:45Yay!
00:45:46He's gone!
00:45:47He's gone!
00:45:48He's gone!
00:45:49Why would you say that?
00:45:50I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:53Yay!
00:45:54He's gone!
00:45:55He's gone!
00:45:56He's gone!
00:45:57Why would you say that?
00:46:00He was so embarrassing.
00:46:01Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:03Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:05What did Preston say?
00:46:06He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:16Now he's gone.
00:46:17Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:20He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson!
00:46:23You have a dad!
00:46:24And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:46:27Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:35Hello?
00:46:36Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:38Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:40I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:42I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:44Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:48Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No.
00:46:51But I'm not surprised.
00:46:52Flag his name.
00:46:53I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:01Okay?
00:47:02He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:04Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:08And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:11What kind of coward abandons his family, huh?
00:47:15It's despicable.
00:47:16I can't do this anymore.
00:47:18I'll cancel everything.
00:47:21The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:23I don't want to be seen.
00:47:26I can't pretend.
00:47:28I just want him back.
00:47:30Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:47:34You don't love him anyway.
00:47:36And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:43What?
00:47:44How could you say something like that?
00:47:46Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:48He cares for me.
00:47:50He sees me.
00:47:51He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:55But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:59Daniel's my husband.
00:48:01And the father of my son.
00:48:03Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with this child just because the contract ended?
00:48:09Contract?
00:48:12What contract?
00:48:17What are you talking about?
00:48:20Forget it.
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:29Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:31Please.
00:48:32I just want the truth.
00:48:34Mom.
00:48:36Fine.
00:48:38I will tell you the truth.
00:48:40But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:44I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:48But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:54When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:57I had to save you.
00:48:59She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:03You've always been there for her.
00:49:05From film school to now.
00:49:07I've seen it.
00:49:09She needs you.
00:49:10Stay.
00:49:11Marry her.
00:49:12Love her.
00:49:13So that she's never alone again.
00:49:22It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:26How could you do this to me?
00:49:28I wanted to protect you.
00:49:30You wanted to control me.
00:49:32All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:35Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:41You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:45Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:47He kept you together.
00:49:49Where?
00:49:50Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you where he went.
00:49:54Where is he?
00:49:55You can do better than him.
00:49:57You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:49:59Hollywood starlet.
00:50:01Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:03No.
00:50:04He can't be gone.
00:50:05He can't.
00:50:06Yes.
00:50:07He is gone.
00:50:08And he is gone forever.
00:50:10He can't be.
00:50:11He can't be gone.
00:50:12He can't.
00:50:25He can't be gone forever.
00:50:26He can't be gone forever.
00:50:27He can't be gone forever.
00:50:28He can't be gone forever.
00:50:29He can't be gone forever.
00:50:30He can't be gone forever.
00:50:31He can't be gone forever.
00:50:32He can't be gone forever.
00:50:33He can't be gone forever.
00:50:34I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How The Tame The Silver Fox that's already
00:50:38generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:42Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:50Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:54What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:57Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shteed.
00:51:00Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man.
00:51:03How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:07Yeah.
00:51:08God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:12And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:14I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:16But London?
00:51:18London lit the fire under me.
00:51:20And I feel like I found my voice.
00:51:22And it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:51:28back to Hollywood?
00:51:32Hollywood.
00:51:33Get out of the country.
00:51:36If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:42Daniel?
00:51:46He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:04Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius.
00:52:08And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:11That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake.
00:52:14Two-time Golden Globe Award winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:23We'll never tell.
00:52:25Oh my God, thanks for saying that.
00:52:30She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:32I know.
00:52:33Jeez.
00:52:34This is so surreal.
00:52:35I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:37I can.
00:52:39The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:43Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:47And get used to compliments.
00:52:49There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:51Fuck.
00:52:52Finish me out.
00:52:53I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:57You okay?
00:52:58You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:00Yes.
00:53:01I'm with some.
00:53:02I'll have it.
00:53:04Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:08Silver's just got a head start.
00:53:19I know.
00:53:20Our press is good press.
00:53:22Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:53:35bitch?
00:53:37He can't do this to me!
00:53:39Sabrina.
00:53:40You don't need him.
00:53:41Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:43How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:46Move on?
00:53:47Please, honey.
00:53:49He is using her.
00:53:51Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hm?
00:53:54He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:57How could you say that?
00:53:58I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:02He's proving that to the whole world!
00:54:05Don't you see it?
00:54:06Sabrina.
00:54:07Look at what you've got.
00:54:09A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:14Well, and he's not whining.
00:54:17And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:19Your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't.
00:54:24Have.
00:54:25Him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:37No!
00:54:38Preston is my real dad now!
00:54:39Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:43It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:45When did he get so cruel?
00:54:47You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:51A doormat.
00:54:53Daniel's a doormat!
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat!
00:54:56Enough!
00:54:57You little shit!
00:54:58Enough!
00:54:59Just enough!
00:55:00Sabrina?
00:55:01What's gotten into you?
00:55:02Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:03Whoa.
00:55:04What's going on here?
00:55:05This room feels really tense.
00:55:06Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:07I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:08No!
00:55:09I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:10And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:12It's time that you stop acting like a superhero.
00:55:13a spoiled little brat.
00:55:22Hey babe, are you really going to get mad at Jackson?
00:55:36For what you're making fun of that fucking loser, really?
00:55:39Loser?
00:55:40Yeah.
00:55:41For a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me
00:55:45and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:52That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand
00:55:57and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up
00:56:09and you're a fucking thief.
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:28I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:38Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:04No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please, please, I love you.
00:57:06Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey, just...
00:57:16Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:18Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:19I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:31He truly knew me.
00:57:36He loved me.
00:57:37Every flaw.
00:57:39Every fear.
00:57:41Contract or not.
00:57:43He truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:47Saved me?
00:57:49You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:52Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:54And he saved me from you.
00:57:56Security!
00:58:00Security!
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:01Just let's talk about this.
00:58:02No.
00:58:03Come on.
00:58:04Celeste, do something.
00:58:06Sabrina!
00:58:08Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:10Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all you care about?
00:58:18The fame?
00:58:19The headlines?
00:58:20The brand deals?
00:58:21God!
00:58:22You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:32I love you.
00:58:34Then prove it.
00:58:36If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:40You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:57In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:03I mean, you know this.
00:59:04You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:07All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:09You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:12I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:14Come on!
00:59:16You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets
00:59:20made in L.A., not London.
00:59:21That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:59:26It didn't really end well.
00:59:28Let me guess.
00:59:29My girl?
00:59:30If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:35You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:38You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:42You've given me a lot to think about.
00:59:44Three-picture deal.
00:59:45Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:47Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:49I don't know what to say.
00:59:50Just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:56You can't run away from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:00Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:15Can we talk?
01:00:16Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:20Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:26Is this a personal story?
01:00:28Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:31Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:37I'll leave it at that.
01:00:38You arrogant little shit.
01:00:43I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:53It's Les Donovan.
01:00:54I need a favor.
01:00:55I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:01:01It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom?
01:01:06What are you doing?
01:01:11Did you just break my TV?
01:01:14Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:17You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:19You've been so kind, though.
01:01:20It's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:25He's back.
01:01:27Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:30Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:32I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:34I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not.
01:01:39You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:40If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:44Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:46He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:50I just need to talk to him.
01:01:54Let him go.
01:01:57Mom.
01:01:59Honey, I...
01:02:00You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:04I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:09I love you.
01:02:11I love you, too.
01:02:15Here we go.
01:02:16This is, um, it's another movie deal.
01:02:21I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks.
01:02:418 p.m.
01:02:43After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:47He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:50She's not protecting me.
01:03:01She's protecting her business.
01:03:03And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:05But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:09So nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:14Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:16A couple?
01:03:17Oh, Daniel, it was ten years of you slaving away for those people, if you can even call them that.
01:03:23You're healthy now.
01:03:24And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:27I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:32The marriage, the kids.
01:03:34I mean, we really tried.
01:03:36I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:03:39It's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:41I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:53Oh.
01:03:55You haven't heard?
01:03:57She dumped him.
01:03:58It was all over People Magazine.
01:04:00She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:02Oh, my God, it was.
01:04:11Daniel!
01:04:14Stop!
01:04:23Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:04:24I'm here to help you.
01:04:26Sabrina.
01:04:28We are making a scene.
01:04:29Let's go home.
01:04:30Sabrina?
01:04:31How could you?
01:04:32What?
01:04:32I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:36I begged and pleaded.
01:04:38Stop lying.
01:04:40I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:44And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:49My God.
01:04:51You're disgusting.
01:04:52I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:54Not anymore.
01:04:55Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:59I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:05:03I'm your mother.
01:05:04I only want what's best for you.
01:05:08What's best for me?
01:05:09You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:16That all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:23You're fired.
01:05:25No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:29You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:37I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:39You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:44I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:47You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:49There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:53I made you.
01:05:55You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:59I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:01We're done here, Mom.
01:06:10If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:17Without another word.
01:06:18I have something to say.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:36I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:43I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:53Apologize to your father.
01:06:55Do I have to?
01:06:57Who raised you?
01:06:59Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:05Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:09He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:12But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:14I was wrong.
01:07:16Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:21And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:25I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:30It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:32I love you.
01:07:33Okay.
01:07:34Come on, Jackson.
01:07:35Let's go.
01:07:36Let's go.
01:07:42I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:45For everything.
01:07:46I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of going back to them.
01:08:00I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:05They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:08They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:15People can change.
01:08:18But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:20And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:31Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:33I'm here, Daniel.
01:08:34Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:40Yes.
01:08:40I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:47But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:50I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:09:00Way to go, John!
01:09:10Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:23We'll keep in touch.
01:09:30What do we have today?
01:09:3240, sir.
01:09:33Jeez.
01:09:34Hey, boy!
01:09:35How are we looking?
01:09:36Still digging?
01:09:38No one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:40I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:45All right, here's the deal.
01:09:46The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:50Today?
01:09:51Are you fucking kidding me?
01:09:52That's why I love you, man.
01:09:54Cool under pressure.
01:09:55This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:10:01Oh, my God.
01:10:02All right, just bring in the next one.
01:10:04But that would be...
01:10:06Emily Blake.
01:10:10Emily.
01:10:15Emily.
01:10:16Amazing, as always.
01:10:19You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:21Please.
01:10:23I wasn't going to miss a shot to be auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:27How's LA treating you?
01:10:29Oh, my God.
01:10:30Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:33But I am...
01:10:34I'm glad to be back.
01:10:37Well, it's not even this countryside.
01:10:38Yeah.
01:10:39But it suits you.
01:10:42You definitely belong here.
01:10:45I do miss you, though.
01:10:49It was fun.
01:10:50Playing the part.
01:10:52British starlet.
01:10:53American director.
01:10:55I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:00Waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:03I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:04It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:11:08You were amazing, as always.
01:11:11It's just...
01:11:13It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:17I never was, was I?
01:11:20Anyways.
01:11:22Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:25Maybe I'll see you around?
01:11:27Yeah.
01:11:27Okay.
01:11:27Okay.
01:11:27Okay.
01:11:27Okay.

01:11:33Okay.
01:11:34Okay.
01:11:39Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:41Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:44And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:52Oh my god.
01:11:53What am I going to do?
01:12:00That was quick.
01:12:04What are you doing here?
01:12:14I came to audition.
01:12:18Did you bring any representation?
01:12:20No.
01:12:21I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:23I'm starting fresh.
01:12:24I'm starting fresh.
01:12:25Right.
01:12:26Um...
01:12:27Hi.
01:12:29I'm Serena Donovan.
01:12:30I'm Serena Donovan.
01:12:31Don't let me go!
01:12:32I got you.
01:12:33I'll never let you go.
01:12:34I got you.
01:12:35I'll never let you go.
01:12:36Are you okay?
01:12:37Yeah.
01:12:38It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:39It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:41never really healed.
01:12:42Are you okay?
01:12:44Yeah. It's an old wound that, um, never really healed.
01:12:50I understand.
01:12:55Daniel Johnson.
01:12:58Nice to meet you.
01:13:01Please.
01:13:03I'll be ready.
01:13:33I'll be ready.
