00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:07That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:33Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:38You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:44Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son.
00:01:00But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:16But 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.
00:01:25She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So 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.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:50Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:57What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:00I 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.
00:02:12Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:14Daniel.
00:02:17Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:24Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:26Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:30I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:34I saw Preston was there.
00:02:37I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:41Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:48Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:50But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:02:55You always know the spot.
00:03:07He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please. I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:15I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I know...
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:30You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them!
00:03:35Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:43I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:54But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:57And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough. Just enough.
00:04:09I want a divorce.
00:04:11I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:21Huh?
00:04:23I want a...
00:04:26I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:36Seriously? Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:46I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:48What is this?
00:04:50Another contract?
00:04:51How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:55It's not a...
00:04:55Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:58Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:01Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:04I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:09Pull my weight?
00:05:10Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Mwah! Love you.
00:05:16I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:19If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:22Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:25The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:35We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:37I can't.
00:05:38My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:40After 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.
00:05:51I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:55Hey, Mom. How you doing?
00:05:56Oh, good, dear.
00:05:58I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:02Do you need more?
00:06:03No, no, no, no. You've already done so much.
00:06:06I'm just trying to help.
00:06:07I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:12I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:19I am, Mom.
00:06:21And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:29You have a wonderful fear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:33Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:35I gotta go. Love you.
00:06:40What is it, Mom?
00:06:41Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:45Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:55and is stealing it back again.
00:07:00Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:03All right, cut. That's a wrap, everyone. Thank you.
00:07:13We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:17Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:19I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:23Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:24If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:30If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:54She destroyed me.
00:08:03Preston, there's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina?
00:08:25Don't do this.
00:08:28Just...
00:08:29Just give me your hand.
00:08:43No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:49Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:52I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:01Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:08Good to see you.
00:09:09Good to see you.
00:09:17Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, too long.
00:09:20Look at you!
00:09:21Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:25Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:26Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:28Are you kidding?
00:09:28Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:33Oh, there he is!
00:09:35The assistant!
00:09:36I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:39How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:44Stop!
00:09:45I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:51Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:55Daniel.
00:09:56Oh.
00:09:56Don't embarrass me.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58I'm sorry.
00:09:58Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:07My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:09He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:11Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of Dad's rules.
00:10:14What are you saying, huh?
00:10:15Yeah.
00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20It's fine.
00:10:22It's fine.
00:10:23Just relax, okay?
00:10:25Be nice.
00:10:34Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized,
00:10:38I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:42Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:44But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:10:54Oh, careful.
00:10:56You all right?
00:10:59I'm still starving.
00:11:01Make me some food.
00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:05Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:09I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:12Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:15I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21Oh, babe, for real?
00:11:24Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:28Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:29I'm rich, which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:35I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:39See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:41You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:43You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:44They were so dull.
00:11:46Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:49Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:57My treat.
00:11:59Here we go.
00:11:59What?
00:12:01Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:03All of you insist.
00:12:05I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06Oh.
00:12:07Mm-hmm.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:09Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:12:15Anyways, come on, Ben, let's go.
00:12:18Let's go.
00:12:18Gotcha.
00:12:19There we go.
00:12:20Oh.
00:12:22There's Paps.
00:12:24You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:30You're right.
00:12:31It is the last time.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
00:12:36Hi.
00:12:38Jackson.
00:12:38Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:50It's over.
00:12:52Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:56I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:00After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:02Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:22She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:25Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:29I could scream.
00:13:30I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:32Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:36Oh, gee.
00:13:37I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:39A scene that I wrote.
00:13:41Uncredited, of course.
00:13:42Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:44Wait.
00:13:45Are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:50All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:57Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:00You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:02Your brand?
00:14:02It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:05You get it, right?
00:14:15So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18It's okay, babe.
00:14:19We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:20This is so going viral.
00:14:31I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:33It looks like more than dating.
00:14:35Is this your son?
00:14:36I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:39Don't be silly.
00:14:40You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:43That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:45He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:48But Preston is awesome.
00:14:51He's an action spy.
00:14:52I wish he was my dad.
00:14:55My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:58But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:15:00when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty
00:15:03with a call girl.
00:15:04It's okay, buddy.
00:15:05Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:07If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:10That is if mom's school is in.
00:15:12Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:14Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:16Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:17Come on.
00:15:21Let's get Michelle.
00:15:22Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:42I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top,
00:15:46and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:49Daniel!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:55From the sound of it,
00:15:57your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:59Daniel, he's here?
00:16:01Did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:03Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:04I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:06I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:08Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:09Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:16:11Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:13Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:15Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:17Jackson, enough.
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then.
00:16:23Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:25I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,
00:16:27with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:32You're really good at that.
00:16:33Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:37A one-way ticket,
00:16:39so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over,
00:16:44but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:48I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me.
00:16:52He has to understand.
00:16:53This is Hollywood.
00:16:54It's just part of the job.
00:16:57Daniel, I can explain.
00:16:59I can explain.
00:17:03Daniel, what is this?
00:17:07I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:09All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:15Honey, what a coincidence.
00:17:18We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:21Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:22A vacation?
00:17:23Finally, you're paying attention.
00:17:26Yeah, I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:29Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:31What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:33Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:34That's not what I meant.
00:17:35Whoa.
00:17:36Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:39It's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit,
00:17:43just like any good husband would.
00:17:44Oh, I see.
00:17:46Is it me?
00:17:47Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:49I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:51I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:53You know what?
00:17:54Maybe I should go.
00:17:55I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:57No, please stay.
00:17:58I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:02No, you know what?
00:18:03I'll go.
00:18:05And clearly she wants you.
00:18:06I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:07Daniel, wait.
00:18:10I won't ever let you go.
00:18:12He won't leave.
00:18:13He promised.
00:18:14It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:17We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:19I'm going to go back.
00:18:20Daniel!
00:18:24Daniel!
00:18:27Please.
00:18:28Better than yours.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:32Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:33Oh!
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:36You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:18:43It's fun.
00:18:43Well, don't look at me like that.
00:18:46I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:49Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:53How lucky for him.
00:18:55He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:57Oh, Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:02Listen, man, I...
00:19:03I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:07You can trust me.
00:19:10Preston, I think you're at the same time.
00:19:13You need to go right now.
00:19:14All right.
00:19:15Oh, hey.
00:19:17Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:19I...
00:19:19When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:25I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:19:29Just ignore him.
00:19:30He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:31No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:35Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:37Jealous?
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:42Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:47You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:51That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:19:59Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:05My God.
00:20:07God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:11Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:14No, it's not like that.
00:20:17I...
00:20:18What?
00:20:20You know what?
00:20:21Fine.
00:20:24You two look great together.
00:20:25Daniel, I...
00:20:38And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:44Um...
00:20:46I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:54Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:58I was never the homemaker.
00:21:03Please, Daniel.
00:21:05I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:24If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:27I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:29Look at her now.
00:21:43Playing house for another man.
00:21:45If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:49There he is.
00:22:07God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:10Man.
00:22:11No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:14Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:15I've got some.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20What do you need?
00:22:21Oh, oh.
00:22:22Yeah, there you go.
00:22:23I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:25I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:26Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:28Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:34Hey, uh...
00:22:35You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:39You're not?
00:22:40A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:42Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:48It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:01What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:03Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:04I want to play with the fist, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:08And it's unfair!
00:23:09That's a shame, huh?
00:23:10You know what?
00:23:11Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:12Here we go.
00:23:14Ooh.
00:23:15No!
00:23:16Not to play with that.
00:23:19You never let me do anything!
00:23:22Come on.
00:23:23It's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:25You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:27It's not about the money.
00:23:28It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:31Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:35Yeah?
00:23:36What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:37You're so annoying!
00:23:41Don't push.
00:23:47I said don't push.
00:23:48Go get a book or something.
00:23:49Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:51He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:54God, what the hell?
00:23:55Just shut up.
00:23:59Call it a lesson.
00:24:00I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:02He's not your kid.
00:24:03I wish I was.
00:24:05I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:08I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:10Ouch.
00:24:11I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:13So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:15Hermit.
00:24:16Maybe it will be.
00:24:17But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:20You?
00:24:21You?
00:24:22Man of the house?
00:24:23Please.
00:24:24You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:25And I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:29And you're a washed up cat.
00:24:30Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:32How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:35I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:37I'm a fucking star.
00:24:39A star?
00:24:39A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:43Jackson, come on.
00:24:44I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:46No, I'm not going.
00:24:48Preston's way cooler than you.
00:24:50Preston, Preston, Preston.
00:24:52You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:18What was that?
00:25:22What's going on?
00:25:26Daniel!
00:25:27What is happening?
00:25:28It was Dad, Mom.
00:25:30Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:32What?
00:25:32I'm so scared.
00:25:33You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:35What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:36I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:38I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:39What?
00:25:40I didn't?
00:25:41Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:42You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:45I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:48It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:25:50Grow up.
00:25:50Remember we're in the public eye?
00:25:53What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:55What?
00:25:55Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:25:59Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:01No.
00:26:02Oh, my God.
00:26:04He's lying.
00:26:06You're a monster.
00:26:08And in front of your son?
00:26:10You have to be kidding.
00:26:11We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:14We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:16Come on.
00:26:17Clean this up.
00:26:18Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:25She's mine now, loser.
00:26:36Hello, 911.
00:26:37What's your emergency?
00:26:38I'm bleeding out.
00:26:39I think I hit an artery.
00:26:41I need an ambulance now.
00:26:42Now.
00:26:43Now.
00:26:48You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:26:58with liquids.
00:26:58To be honest, that's...
00:27:00I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:05Uh...
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07Pretty 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.
00:27:22I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:25You said, um, a couple?
00:27:28I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:27:33She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:38She was so sweet.
00:27:43Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:46No, it's...
00:27:48It's an old wound.
00:27:49I tore it, actually, um, ten 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, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:11Fuck it.
00:28:13I'm gonna go get my shit and go.
00:28:16Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:18You once liked my short film.
00:28:20I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:30It needs the right producer.
00:28:32I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:36Where have you been?
00:28:38I kept calling.
00:28:39I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:42Huh?
00:28:47What?
00:28:47I've been busy.
00:28:47Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:51Seriously?
00:28:52Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:54I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:58Yeah.
00:28:59That's what you want to call it?
00:29:01I...
00:29:02I just...
00:29:03I'm sorry.
00:29:06I...
00:29:06Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:09It is what it is.
00:29:14But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:19You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:23And I think you should go for it.
00:29:25I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:27But I just...
00:29:29I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:35Seriously.
00:29:36I...
00:29:37I care about you.
00:29:38I'm not mad.
00:29:44I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:46I know when you're angry.
00:29:48Really?
00:29:48I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:50I pay attention?
00:29:53Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:55She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:58That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:00A headline.
00:30:01A performance.
00:30:04Sabrina.
00:30:08Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:09You know what?
00:30:10I hate fighting.
00:30:11So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:14I was thinking.
00:30:16We could revisit your script.
00:30:21I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:24You telling me you finally read it?
00:30:26Well, yeah.
00:30:27The first ten pages.
00:30:28But they're good.
00:30:29The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:33I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:35Me and you.
00:30:36The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:39I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:44A long time ago.
00:30:45Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:30:48and for the next hour,
00:30:50we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:52Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:55There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:57I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:01Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:03I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:31:23and it was awful.
00:31:26I've had a lot of experience making it for you.
00:31:28I'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.
00:31:34I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:40I knew it.
00:31:42You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:44I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:48God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:53Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:56It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:58No, Daniel.
00:31:59No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:07Look what you made me do.
00:32:08Just leave it.
00:32:12I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:16And what?
00:32:17It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:19I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:21And look what I get for it.
00:32:22You know what?
00:32:24Forget it.
00:32:25I have a premiere.
00:32:26We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:43What?
00:32:43Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:46Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:47Not quite.
00:32:48That was the divorce contract.
00:32:49But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our
00:32:53family's NDA.
00:32:54This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:56Remember that.
00:32:57I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:09I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:14Oh, please.
00:33:15She's always been so secretive.
00:33:16I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:33:21Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:23I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:29Oh, well.
00:33:30If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:32Come here.
00:33:33Oh.
00:33:33Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:33:40Do you know where she is?
00:33:42Or who she's with?
00:33:44She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:45He's been staying with us.
00:33:46Oh.
00:33:47Really?
00:33:49Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:52Oh, I hope so.
00:33:53I really hope so.
00:33:54He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:33:57Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:01Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:10What are you doing here?
00:34:11You never come to these things.
00:34:14Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:17Get lost.
00:34:18You embarrass us.
00:34:19Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:21I'm your father.
00:34:22I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:24Is there a problem?
00:34:33Oh, my God.
00:34:34That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:39If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:42I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:43You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:45Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:46You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:52I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:53That's not what I see.
00:34:55You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:03That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:07Doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:09And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:14This was all a stunt, wasn't it?
00:35:15You were revolting.
00:35:18No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:20Hey.
00:35:22Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:24Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:28Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:30Oh, yeah?
00:35:31What lesson is that, Preston?
00:35:32You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:36Hmm.
00:35:38Oh!
00:35:38Oh, my God, Daniel, what the hell happened?
00:36:06Daniel, you're bleeding. Are you okay?
00:36:09Look at her go. Hollywood's finest. Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:15It's Daniel. He's a monster. He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:21Mommy, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:24No, no, that's not true.
00:36:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters. Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:34Daniel, is that true?
00:36:40Sabrina.
00:36:42Oh! Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs. I think one of them's broken.
00:36:49Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:36:53But Daniel, imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:36:59Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:14I... I have... I have to help Preston.
00:37:32Come on, Jackson.
00:37:35Daniel!
00:37:41I got you.
00:37:42Don't let me go!
00:37:44She's made her choice. There's no going back.
00:37:47We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:53Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:04Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:06I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:08There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:12Get out of Hollywood. In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:18If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:25Don't worry about it. Just drive.
00:38:41I used to ache for her approval. Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:00Seriously?
00:39:02Just lay down.
00:39:03I know. Why is he dead?
00:39:05I'm gonna go call the doctor, okay?
00:39:08What are you doing? I thought you were hurt.
00:39:12I think I'll pull through.
00:39:17So what are you doing?
00:39:22I've always wanted to.
00:39:24Come on. I know you want this. I see the way you look at me.
00:39:28And now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:39:31I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:35What am I doing? Daniel is still injured. He should be home.
00:39:51Sabrina?
00:39:53Listen, get off.
00:40:05What? Babe, we can finally. Come on.
00:40:08I said get off.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:11No, forget about him. Look, I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted. I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy. I mean, come on. Sabrina, your son, your mother. Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:27What? Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:32No. No. What have I done? Where is he?
00:40:38What about me?
00:40:40You had your chance ten years ago. I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:46Hello? Excuse me. Excuse me. Hi. Have you seen my husband? Please, he was someone bleeding out.
00:41:00I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman. He didn't come back in though.
00:41:05Oh, no. Come on, Daniel. Where are you?
00:41:11I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service. Please try again later.
00:41:17What have I done?
00:41:29Come on, Daniel. Answer me.
00:41:35He's not gone. I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:50He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:58It's not possible. He will be back.
00:42:05Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:16Claims zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:18The waves all spousal support.
00:42:21No. No, he can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me. I won't sign off on him.
00:42:35No. No. All this time, who's gonna leave me?
00:42:41Leave me?
00:42:56It can't be.
00:42:59It's not a...
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:04He loves me. He loves Jackson.
00:43:08He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.
00:43:12After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:43:15I got you.
00:43:21Don't let me go!
00:43:25I got you.
00:43:38Don't let me go!
00:43:40Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:43Daniel?
00:43:48No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? You sound panicked.
00:43:51Mom!
00:43:53Mom!
00:43:55Daniel!
00:43:56He just left us!
00:43:59Do you know where he is?
00:44:01We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:04Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:10You knew?
00:44:11I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:22I'm hungry!
00:44:24Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:29I have something to tell you.
00:44:35Your dad...
00:44:38Your dad...
00:44:40He's left us.
00:44:42I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:45Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:47Why would you say that?
00:44:49He was so embarrassing! Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:52Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:54What did Preston say?
00:44:55He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets then raising a young man.
00:45:02He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone!
00:45:06Mr. Eastwood is way cooler! He can be my new dad!
00:45:10Jackson! You have a dad! And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:15Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:16I hate him!
00:45:24Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:27Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:31I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:33Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37Ms. No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:45Ms. Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again. Okay?
00:45:50He's not the man you think he is. Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:56And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:59What kind of coward abandons his family? It's despicable.
00:46:04Ms. I can't do this anymore.
00:46:07Ms. I cancel everything. The interviews and the red carpets. I don't want to be seen. I can't pretend. I just want him back.
00:46:18Ms. Oh, honey. It's time to let him go. You don't love him anyway. And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:30Ms. What?
00:46:31Ms. How could you say something like that? Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:35Ms. He cares for me. He sees me. He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:42Ms. But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:46Ms. Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.
00:46:49Ms. Yeah, some husband. Abandoning you without a moment's notice. Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:46:56Ms. Contract? What contract?
00:46:59Ms. What are you talking about?
00:47:04Ms. Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:09Ms. When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:14Ms. Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:16Ms. Please. I just want the truth.
00:47:20Ms. Ma.
00:47:21Ms. Fine. I will tell you the truth. But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:28Ms. I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina. But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:39Ms. When Preston left you, you were distraught. I had to save you.
00:47:44Ms. She's lost without you, Daniel. You've always been there for her. From film school to now. I've seen it. She needs you. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she's never alone again.
00:48:01Ms. It was all just some sort of obligation? How could you do this to me?
00:48:11Ms. I wanted to protect you.
00:48:13Ms. You wanted to control me. All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:18Ms. Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:20Ms. You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop. Daniel did what he was meant to do. He kept you together.
00:48:32Ms. Where? Where did he go? I know he told you where he went. Where is he?
00:48:38Ms. You can do better than him. You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet. Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:46Ms. No! He can't be gone! He can't!
00:48:49Ms. Yes! He is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:48:52Ms. He can't be! He can't be gone! He can't!
00:48:56Ms. I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:03Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:10Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:17Um, honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speech. Nobody told me how. Oh, man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:24Ms. I've heard this talk in the sequel.
00:49:25Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been in a long time in the making.
00:49:30And I've been very honest about it, actually. I almost, I almost gave up the dream. But London?
00:49:33London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and I am so excited to be here.
00:49:38All right, I've been in the back of my life. Okay, it was still a bit of fun.
00:49:41Thank you so much for being here, everyone.
00:49:43Thank you so much for this.
00:49:44I need you to be here today.
00:49:45I'm home.
00:49:46Now you took the office to your hotel and then, where are you going to be here?
00:49:47I'm sure you're here.
00:49:49Yeah, I'm just gonna get you here.
00:49:50It's a beautiful theater.
00:49:51I know how much you've ever been doing here.
00:49:54I've been working with my fans.
00:49:56Here's what fun is for you.
00:49:58London, London lit the fire under me
00:50:01and I feel like I found my voice
00:50:02and it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London,
00:50:06since you're an American rights director,
00:50:08will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:13Hollywood.
00:50:15Get out of the country.
00:50:16If I so much as see your name
00:50:18next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:50:21I will make your life a living hell.
00:50:23Daniel?
00:50:27He's no good at bragging about himself,
00:50:29so I'll do it for him.
00:50:31Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius,
00:50:35and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:38That's not a light compliment coming from Emily.
00:50:41Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius,
00:50:45and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:48That's not a light compliment coming from Emily.
00:50:51That'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
00:51:01wasn't just professional.
00:51:03We'll never tell.
00:51:07Oh my God, thanks for saving me.
00:51:09She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:11I know, jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal.
00:51:14I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:16I can.
00:51:17The moment I read your script,
00:51:19I knew you were special.
00:51:22Daniel.
00:51:24Enjoy this.
00:51:26And get used to compliments.
00:51:28There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:30Fuck.
00:51:31Finish me, I know.
00:51:32I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:36You okay?
00:51:37You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:39I know, it's um...
00:51:40I'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.
00:51:48I know.
00:51:49All press is good press.
00:51:50I know.
00:51:51All press is good press.
00:51:53Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:51:55and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:51:59You can't do this to me.
00:52:00Sabrina.
00:52:01You don't need him.
00:52:02Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:03How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:04Move on?
00:52:05Please, honey.
00:52:06He is using her.
00:52:07I know.
00:52:08I know.
00:52:09I know.
00:52:10I know.
00:52:11I know.
00:52:12I know.
00:52:13I know.
00:52:14I know.
00:52:15I know.
00:52:16I know.
00:52:17I know.
00:52:18I know.
00:52:19Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:20How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:23Move on?
00:52:24Please, 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?
00:52:43Sabrina.
00:52:44Look at what you've got.
00:52:46A celebrated career.
00:52:48A mansion in the hills.
00:52:50An adorable kid.
00:52:51Well, when he's not whining.
00:52:53And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:55Your dream man.
00:52:57You have everything.
00:52:59I don't.
00:53:00Have.
00:53:01Him.
00:53:02Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:03Go have the chef make something.
00:53:05No, I hate what she cooks.
00:53:06And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:08Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:10Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:12He's your dad.
00:53:13No!
00:53:14Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:15Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:19It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:21When did he get so cruel?
00:53:23You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:26A doormat.
00:53:28Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:31Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:32Enough!
00:53:33You little shit!
00:53:36Enough!
00:53:37Just enough!
00:53:38Sabrina?
00:53:39What's gotten into you?
00:53:40Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:45Whoa.
00:53:46What's going on here?
00:53:47This room feels really tense.
00:53:49Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:51I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:53No!
00:53:54I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:56And if you keep talking like that, I'm gonna put you in a time-out.
00:53:59It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:54:06Hey, baby.
00:54:07Are you really gonna get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:11Really?
00:54:12Loser?
00:54:13You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston!
00:54:16And you've been moochin' off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss!
00:54:26That's really, really low.
00:54:28Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing
00:54:32in the last year?
00:54:33Come on, we're America's power couple!
00:54:35To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:38Face it, Preston.
00:54:40You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:43And you're a fuckin' thief!
00:54:45Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:47You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:50I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:52Because you know what?
00:54:54Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:55It's not like that, okay?
00:54:57Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:00I wanna marry you.
00:55:01We're legacy Hollywood fuckin' royalty!
00:55:04What's my birthday?
00:55:05Huh?
00:55:06What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:08What's my favorite color?
00:55:10My favorite song?
00:55:11Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:13Oh, oh wait!
00:55:14What's my fuckin' middle name?
00:55:16You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:19You 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!
00:55:29Get out!
00:55:30I don't wanna ever see you again!
00:55:32We're over!
00:55:34We're over!
00:55:35What?
00:55:36No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:37Please.
00:55:38Please, I love you.
00:55:39Just, just think about it.
00:55:40Look at the press!
00:55:41What this'll look like!
00:55:42If I have to call my security,
00:55:44all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:46Get out!
00:55:47Babe, just-
00:55:48Now!
00:55:49Just give me your hand, come on.
00:55:50No!
00:55:51I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:54Nobody sees the real me.
00:55:56I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:58I see all of you.
00:56:00And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:56:03He truly knew me.
00:56:06He loved me.
00:56:08Every flaw.
00:56:10Every fear.
00:56:11Contract or not.
00:56:13He truly loved me.
00:56:16I saved you from social suicide!
00:56:18Saved me?
00:56:19I mean, you don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:23Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:25And he saved me from you!
00:56:28Security!
00:56:30Security!
00:56:31Come on, just let's talk about this.
00:56:33No!
00:56:34Come on!
00:56:35Celeste!
00:56:36Do something!
00:56:37Sabrina!
00:56:38Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:40Was that really necessary?
00:56:42I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:56:44and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:46Is that all you care about?
00:56:48The fame!
00:56:49The headlines!
00:56:50The brand deals!
00:56:51God!
00:56:52You're supposed to be my mother first!
00:56:55Not some money-grubbing manager!
00:56:57Sabrina!
00:56:58You are being dramatic!
00:57:00Of course I care about you!
00:57:02I love you!
00:57:04Then prove it!
00:57:05If you ever want me in front of a camera again,
00:57:08then you will help me get Daniel back!
00:57:10You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:11I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:12In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:17I mean, you know this. You're a legend.
00:57:19I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:20All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:21You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:22I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right. I got projects.
00:57:24Come on! You're built for billion dollar franchises! Hollywood blockbusters! The one that gets
00:57:31made in LA, not London! That's where you belong!
00:57:34To be honest, I already did all. It didn't really end well.
00:57:36Let me guess. A girl?
00:57:37If by a girl he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan,
00:57:40you're a legend.
00:57:41You're a legend.
00:57:42I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:43I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:44I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:45I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:46All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:47You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:49I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:51I got projects.
00:57:52Come on!
00:57:53You're built for billion dollar franchises!
00:57:54Hollywood blockbusters!
00:57:55The one that gets made in LA, not London!
00:57:57That's where you belong!
00:57:58To be honest, I already did all.
00:57:59It didn't really end well.
00:58:00Let me guess. A girl?
00:58:02Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:04You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:07You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:11You've given me a lot to think about.
00:58:12Three picture deal.
00:58:13200 million dollar budget each.
00:58:15Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:17I don't know what to say.
00:58:18Just say yes.
00:58:19You have my number.
00:58:21Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:23Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:24You can't run away from the past.
00:58:26You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:32Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:42Can we talk?
00:58:44Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:48Of course.
00:58:49It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:54Is this a personal story where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:59Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:03Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:06You arrogant little shit.
00:59:10I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:19It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:21I need a favor.
00:59:22I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
00:59:28It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:31Mom, what are you doing?
00:59:37Did you just break my TV?
00:59:39Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:42You know, I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:44You've been so kind, though.
00:59:46Um, it's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:49He's back.
00:59:52Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:54Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:58I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:00I need to get on that movie.
01:00:02Absolutely not.
01:00:04You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:06If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:09Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:11He still loves me.
01:00:13He has to.
01:00:15I just need to talk to him.
01:00:18Let him go.
01:00:21Mom.
01:00:24Honey, I...
01:00:27You know, I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:30I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:34I love you.
01:00:36I love you, too.
01:00:39Here we go.
01:00:42This is, um...
01:00:44It's another movie deal.
01:00:45I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:47Did you get his location?
01:01:04The Oaks.
01:01:058 PM.
01:01:06After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:11He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:14Forever.
01:01:23She's not protecting me.
01:01:25She's protecting her business.
01:01:27And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:29But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:32It's so nice having you back.
01:01:35And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:38Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:40A couple?
01:01:41Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:45If you can even call them that.
01:01:47But you're healthy now.
01:01:48And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:50I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:01:52I love Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:55The marriage, the kids.
01:01:57I mean, we really tried.
01:01:58I thought I could make a go for it, but, um...
01:02:02It's over.
01:02:04It's over.
01:02:05I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks press Cindy Swickenhofer.
01:02:16Oh.
01:02:17You haven't heard?
01:02:20She dumped him.
01:02:21It was all over People magazine.
01:02:23She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:26Oh, my God, it was.
01:02:33Daniel!
01:02:36Stop!
01:02:45Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:47I'm here to help you.
01:02:48Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:02:51Let's go home.
01:02:52Sabrina?
01:02:53How could you?
01:02:54What?
01:02:55I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:58I begged and pleaded.
01:03:00Stop lying!
01:03:01I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:05And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:11Oh, my God.
01:03:12You're disgusting.
01:03:13I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:15Not anymore.
01:03:16Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:21I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:24I'm your mother.
01:03:26I only want what's best for you.
01:03:29What's best for me?
01:03:32You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:37That all ends today.
01:03:42You're fired.
01:03:44Fired.
01:03:46No.
01:03:49No.
01:03:54No.
01:03:55You can't do this to me.
01:03:56Please.
01:03:57Please, sweetie.
01:03:58I have dedicated my life to you.
01:04:00You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:03I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:07You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:10There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:13I made you!
01:04:14You'd be nothing without me!
01:04:19I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:21We're done here, Mom.
01:04:29If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:37Without another word.
01:04:38I have something to say.
01:04:52I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:55I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:58I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:02I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:11Apologize to your father.
01:05:13Do I have to?
01:05:15Who raised you?
01:05:18Cared for you?
01:05:20Packed your lunches when I was on set.
01:05:24Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick.
01:05:28He did.
01:05:29He loved you.
01:05:30But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:32I was wrong.
01:05:34Jackson.
01:05:35He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:39And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:43I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:47It's gonna be okay, son.
01:05:49I just gonna love you.
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:52Come on, Jackson. Let's go.
01:05:54I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:02For everything.
01:06:03I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:04You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:05I just didn't know it'd be this hard.
01:06:06They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:07They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:12People can change.
01:06:13But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:14And the Oscar goes to.
01:06:15Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay.
01:06:16Love you, Daniel.
01:06:17Daniel Johnson.

01:06:48Daniel Johnson.
01:06:49Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:57I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:03But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:06I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:16Way to go, Jan!
01:07:19Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:38We'll keep in touch.
01:07:45How many more do we have today?
01:07:4740, sir.
01:07:48Jeez.
01:07:49Yay, boy!
01:07:50How are we looking?
01:07:51We're still digging.
01:07:52Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:56I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:59All right, here's the deal.
01:08:01The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:04Today?
01:08:06Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:07That's why I love you, man.
01:08:08Cool under pressure.
01:08:09This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:08:12Oh, my God.
01:08:13All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:17Ah.
01:08:18But that would be Emily Blake.
01:08:24Emily.
01:08:24Amazing as always.
01:08:31You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:35Please.
01:08:36I wasn't going to miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:39How's L.A. treating you?
01:08:43Oh, my God.
01:08:44Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:46But I am...
01:08:48I'm glad to be back.
01:08:50Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:52Yeah.
01:08:52But it suits you.
01:08:55You definitely belong here.
01:08:59I do miss you, though.
01:09:02It was fun.
01:09:03Playing the part.
01:09:05British starlet.
01:09:06American director.
01:09:08I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:13Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry, Halloween.
01:09:18It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:20You were amazing, as always.
01:09:24It's just...
01:09:25It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:30I never was, was I?
01:09:32Anyways.
01:09:34Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:37Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:39Yeah.
01:09:50Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:52Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:56And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:03Oh, my God.
01:10:04What am I going to do?
01:10:12That was quick.
01:10:12What are you doing here?
01:10:25I came to audition.
01:10:30Did you bring any representation?
01:10:31No.
01:10:33I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:34I'm starting fresh.
01:10:38Right, um...
01:10:40Hi.
01:10:43I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:47Don't let me go!
01:10:48I got you.
01:10:50I'll never let you go.
01:10:53Are you okay?
01:10:54Yeah.
01:10:55It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:58never really healed.
01:10:59I don't know what you're doing.
01:11:01I understand.
01:11:06Daniel Johnson.
01:11:09Nice to meet you.
01:11:12Please.
01:11:21Are you ready?
01:11:29I don't know what you're doing here.
