Short filmTranscript
00:00:00You used to worship Sabrina.
00:00:02What happened?
00:00:02Sabrina was a rising star.
00:00:04And Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:00:07and is stealing it back again.
00:00:09You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?
00:00:12You will end up with nothing.
00:00:13The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:16I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:00:19Why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:00:21Perfect.
00:00:22Get out of Hollywood.
00:00:23In fact, get out of the country.
00:00:26I gave it everything I had.
00:00:27Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:00:31No.
00:00:32What have I done?
00:00:33He can't be gone.
00:00:34He can't.
00:00:35Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:00:38Being with me hurt his career.
00:00:40Look at what you've got.
00:00:41You have everything.
00:00:43I don't have him.
00:00:46Daniel!
00:00:47He still loves me.
00:00:48He has to.
00:00:49And we need to find him at all costs.
00:00:51Daniel.
00:00:57And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:01:06That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:01:10Who knew the house hubby had it in him?
00:01:11I'm an industry joke now.
00:01:14Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat
00:01:18on a shelf for 10 years?
00:01:20Wow, you did your homework.
00:01:21Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:01:26Um, I will tell you this.
00:01:27I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:01:33Daniel really did it.
00:01:34The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:01:38You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?
00:01:41You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:01:43Our contract expired.
00:01:46I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:01:48If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:01:51The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:57I'll always love my son.
00:01:59But he's a bully, and he learned her from the best in the business.
00:02:02His grandmother.
00:02:03You used to worship Sabrina.
00:02:05What happened?
00:02:06That was a long time ago.
00:02:08America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:02:11All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:02:14But her career's hanging by a thread.
00:02:17I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:02:21You've always loved her, Daniel.
00:02:22I've seen it.
00:02:24She needs that now.
00:02:26Stay.
00:02:27Marry her.
00:02:29Love her.
00:02:30So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:02:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:02:36And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:02:39If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:02:46This was the last one.
00:02:50Mom, Daniel.
00:02:52What's going on?
00:02:56What's going on?
00:02:58Honey!
00:02:58I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:03:04If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.
00:03:07But I need to go.
00:03:08I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:03:12Think about it, Daniel.
00:03:16Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:03:21Then I will be free.
00:03:23Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:03:25Ugh.
00:03:26Can it wait?
00:03:26I'm seriously so spent.
00:03:29I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:03:33I saw Preston was there.
00:03:36I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:03:39I mean, we owe him.
00:03:41Yeah.
00:03:41And then he cheated on you.
00:03:43And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:03:45I'm starving.
00:03:46When are we eating?
00:03:47Lunch is on the stove.
00:03:49But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:52No!
00:03:52I want to eat now!
00:03:56You always know the spot.
00:04:06He doesn't miss it.
00:04:07Daniel, please.
00:04:09I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:04:14I got something I need to tell you.
00:04:18I'll make it quick.
00:04:19This isn't easy, but I know.
00:04:21Ew!
00:04:21What is this?
00:04:23It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:04:25I don't want healthy food.
00:04:26I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:27Chicken nuggets!
00:04:28Chicken nuggets!
00:04:29You can't have that every day.
00:04:31It's not healthy for you.
00:04:33But I want them!
00:04:34Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:04:38You suck!
00:04:39I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:41Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:49I waited.
00:04:51I gave it everything I had.
00:04:54But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:56And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:05:02Enough.
00:05:02Just enough.
00:05:04I want a divorce.
00:05:11I want a divorce.
00:05:17Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:05:20Huh?
00:05:22I want a di-
00:05:25I want chicken nuggets!
00:05:27Give me chicken nuggets!
00:05:28Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:05:32Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:05:34We'll get you some real food.
00:05:40Seriously.
00:05:41Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:05:44I mean, it's not that hard.
00:05:47What is this?
00:05:49Another contract?
00:05:50How big is the role?
00:05:53Who's directing?
00:05:54It's not a-
00:05:55Whatever.
00:05:55My mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:57Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:06:00Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:06:03I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:06:08Pull my weight?
00:06:09Yeah, you get it.
00:06:12Mwah!
00:06:13Love you.
00:06:14I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:06:18If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:06:21Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:06:24The movie's Greenland, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:06:34We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:06:36I can't.
00:06:37My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:06:39After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:46At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:50I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:54Hey mom, how you doing?
00:06:55Oh, good dear.
00:06:57I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:07:01Do you need more?
00:07:02No, no, no, no.
00:07:02You've already done so much.
00:07:05I'm just trying to help.
00:07:06I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:07:11I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:07:18I am, mom.
00:07:20And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:07:28That's a wonderful dear.
00:07:29You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:07:32Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:07:34I gotta go.
00:07:35Love you.
00:07:36What is it, mom?
00:07:40Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:07:42Our favorite leading man.
00:07:44Come on.
00:07:51Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:58Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:08:02All right, cut.
00:08:09That's a wrap, everyone.
00:08:12We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:08:15Sabrina was a rising star.
00:08:18I was just the director's assistant.
00:08:22Our future's ahead of us.
00:08:23If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:29If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:29We're catalogue.
00:08:38What aignaw.
00:08:42insus.
00:08:44I mean...
00:08:44...
00:08:45I'm sorry.
00:08:46No.
00:08:46My attorney's gonna grab her .
00:08:48You got her ass.
00:08:49I'm sorry.
00:08:50No.
00:08:51No.
00:08:51Oh.
00:08:51No.
00:08:52Oh.
00:08:52No.
00:08:52No.
00:08:53No.

00:08:55No.
00:08:55No.
00:08:55No.
00:08:56No.
00:08:56No.
00:08:57You destroyed me, Preston.
00:09:02There's nothing left.
00:09:16Sabrina, don't!
00:09:18Stay back.
00:09:20I mean it.
00:09:22Sabrina, don't do this.
00:09:25Just...
00:09:28Just give me your hand.
00:09:41No!
00:09:43Daniel!
00:09:45I got you.
00:09:47No! Don't let me go!
00:09:49I won't ever let you go.
00:09:55I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:59Nobody sees the real me.
00:10:01I see you, Sabrina.
00:10:03I see all of you.
00:10:05And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:10:08Good to see ya!
00:10:09Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:10:10Oh, two long.
00:10:11Look at you!
00:10:12Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:10:14Yeah, of course, babe.
00:10:15Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:10:16Are you kidding?
00:10:17Oh, Daniel.
00:10:18Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:10:19Oh, there he is!
00:10:20The assistant!
00:10:21I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:10:23God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:26Stop!
00:10:27I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:32Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay here in Hollywood Hills.
00:10:34Oh, I'm so glad you're here in Hollywood Hills.
00:10:35Oh, I'm so glad you're here in Hollywood Hills.
00:10:36Yeah, of course, babe.
00:10:37Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:10:38Are you kidding?
00:10:39Oh, Daniel.
00:10:40Uh, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:10:41Oh, there he is!
00:10:42The assistant!
00:10:43I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:10:46God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:48Stop!
00:10:49Or home.
00:10:50Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:53Daniel!
00:10:54Oh.
00:10:55Don't embarrass me.
00:10:56No, it's fine.
00:10:57Whoa, you?
00:10:58Played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?
00:11:01He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:11:05My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:11:07He doesn't let me do anything.
00:11:09Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:11:12What are you saying, huh?
00:11:14Yeah.
00:11:15Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:11:18It's fine.
00:11:19It's fine.
00:11:20It's fine.
00:11:21Just relax, okay?
00:11:23Be nice.
00:11:32Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when
00:11:38he breaks her heart again.
00:11:40Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:11:45Oh, careful.
00:11:46You all right?
00:11:47I'm still starving.
00:11:48Make me some food.
00:11:49Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:50Stew?
00:11:51Ew.
00:11:52What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:53I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets.
00:11:54Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:56I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:12:00Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:12:01Oh, babe.
00:12:02For real?
00:12:03Yeah.
00:12:04My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:12:05Donovan Cosmetics.
00:12:06I'm rich.
00:12:07Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:12:08I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:09See, dude.
00:12:10I don't know.
00:12:11I don't know.
00:12:12I don't know.
00:12:13I don't know.
00:12:14I don't know.
00:12:15I don't know.
00:12:16I don't know.
00:12:17I don't know.
00:12:18I don't know.
00:12:19I don't know.
00:12:20You mean, buddy, oh my god.
00:12:21That's my mom's with her mustache?
00:12:22craftsman's.
00:12:23I'm a bear.
00:12:24You don't show up with my husband.
00:12:41Wait.
00:12:42For real?
00:12:43Yeah.
00:12:44My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:12:47Donovan Cosmetics rich.
00:12:49Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:52So how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:56My treat.
00:12:57Here we go.
00:12:58What?
00:12:59Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:13:01I don't mind.
00:13:02All of you insist.
00:13:03I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:13:07Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel,
00:13:10but there's a little bit of a dress code.
00:13:12So anyways, come on, Ben.
00:13:14Let's go.
00:13:16That's great.
00:13:17Gotcha.
00:13:17There we go.
00:13:18Oh, there's Paps.
00:13:22You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:13:24Last time.
00:13:26I promise.
00:13:28You're right.
00:13:29It is the last time.
00:13:32Hey, guys.
00:13:35Jackson.
00:13:36Jackson.
00:13:42Well, did you use your brain,
00:13:44or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:46Contract's fine.
00:13:49It's over.
00:13:50Why don't you meet me at the Oaks
00:13:52to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:54I hope you're ready to go on
00:13:56without a penny to your name.
00:13:58After 10 years of heartbreak,
00:13:59I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:14:01Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:14:15Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:14:21She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:14:23Sabrina Donovan, I could scream.
00:14:28I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:14:30Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.
00:14:34Oh, gee, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:38A scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:14:40Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:43Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:44Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:48All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:51Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:58You're not really a part of my brand.
00:15:00Your brand?
00:15:01It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:15:04You get it, right?
00:15:13So, you two are a thing?
00:15:15Well, I...
00:15:16Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:15:17We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:15:21This is so going viral.
00:15:29I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:15:31It looks like more than dating.
00:15:33Is this your son?
00:15:34I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:37Don't be silly.
00:15:38You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:41That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:43He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:46But Preston is awesome.
00:15:49He's an action spy.
00:15:50I wish he was my dad.
00:15:53My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:56But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:15:58when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty
00:16:01with a call girl.
00:16:02It's okay, buddy.
00:16:03Every spining's a partner in crime.
00:16:05If you want me around, I'm in.
00:16:08That is if mom's school with it.
00:16:11Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:16:12Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:16:14Preston, what are you doing?
00:16:15Come on.
00:16:19Let's get Michelle.
00:16:20Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:38I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:43Sabrina will end up on top,
00:16:45and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:49Daniel!
00:16:51You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:53And the sound of it,
00:16:55your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:57Daniel, he's here?
00:16:59Did he see us?
00:17:00Is he looking over here?
00:17:01Oh, fuck.
00:17:02That's not good.
00:17:02I was just doing that for publicity.
00:17:04I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:17:06Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:17:07Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:17:09Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:17:11Who cares about him, mommy?
00:17:13Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:17:15Jackson, enough.
00:17:17What do I do?
00:17:19Well, that's it then.
00:17:21Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:17:22I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,
00:17:25with the tabloids.
00:17:26I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:30You're really good at that.
00:17:31Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:34A one-way ticket,
00:17:37so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:41I know the contract is over,
00:17:42but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:46I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:49Daniel loves me.
00:17:50He has to understand.
00:17:51This is Hollywood.
00:17:52It's just part of the job.
00:17:55Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:57I can explain.
00:18:02Daniel, what is this?
00:18:04I can't let her create a public scene.
00:18:07All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:18:10Are you going somewhere?
00:18:12Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:18:15We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:18:19Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:18:20A vacation?
00:18:21Finally.
00:18:22You're paying attention.
00:18:24Yeah.
00:18:25I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:18:27Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:29What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:31Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:32That's not what I meant.
00:18:33Whoa.
00:18:34Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:37That's fine.
00:18:38Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:40Just like any good husband would.
00:18:42Oh, I see.
00:18:44Is it me?
00:18:45Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:47I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:49I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:51You know what?
00:18:52Maybe I should go.
00:18:53I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:55No, please stay.
00:18:56I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:59No, you know what?
00:19:01I'll go.
00:19:02And clearly she wants you.
00:19:04I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:19:05Daniel, wait.
00:19:08I won't ever let you go.
00:19:10He won't leave.
00:19:11He promised.
00:19:12It doesn't have to be like this.
00:19:14We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:19:16I'm going to go back.
00:19:18Daniel!
00:19:25Please.
00:19:26Better than yours.
00:19:28Yeah.
00:19:29Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:19:31Oh!
00:19:33Oh, good.
00:19:34You're up.
00:19:35Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:40It's fun.
00:19:42Don't look at me like that.
00:19:44I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:46Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:51How lucky for him.
00:19:52He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:56Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:59Listen, man, I...
00:20:01I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:20:05You can trust me.
00:20:08Preston, I think you're a little drunk.
00:20:10You need to go right now.
00:20:12All right.
00:20:13Oh, hey.
00:20:14Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:20:17I...
00:20:17I...
00:20:18When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:20:23I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:27Just ignore him.
00:20:27He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:29No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:32Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:35Jealous?
00:20:35My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:40Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:45You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:48That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:57Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:21:02Oh, my God.
00:21:04God, you're unbelievable.
00:21:09Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:21:13No, it's not like that.
00:21:15I...
00:21:15What?
00:21:18You know what?
00:21:19Fine.
00:21:21You two look great together.
00:21:23Daniel, I...
00:21:24And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:43Um...
00:21:43I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:50Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:56I was never the homemaker.
00:22:01Please, Daniel.
00:22:14I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:20If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:24I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:39Look at her now.
00:22:40Playing house for another man.
00:22:43If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:47There he is.
00:23:05God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:23:08Man.
00:23:08No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:23:11Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:23:12I got some.
00:23:17Yeah.
00:23:18What do you need?
00:23:18Oh, oh.
00:23:19Yeah, there you go.
00:23:21I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:23:22I doubt you'd like it.
00:23:24Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:26Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:31Hey, uh...
00:23:32You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:36If not, a grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:41Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:45It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:49What's wrong, Jackson?
00:24:00Mr. Eastwood!
00:24:02I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:24:05And it's unfair!
00:24:07That's a shame, huh?
00:24:08You know what?
00:24:08Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:24:10Here we go.
00:24:12Ooh!
00:24:13No, it's...
00:24:14not to play with them.
00:24:17You never let me do anything!
00:24:20Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:22You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:24It's not about the money.
00:24:26It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:28Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:24:31bad examples.
00:24:33Yeah?
00:24:33What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:35You're so annoying!
00:24:39Don't push.
00:24:44I said don't push.
00:24:45Go get a book or something.
00:24:47Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:49He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:24:52God, what the hell is you just showing me?
00:24:56Call it a lesson.
00:24:58I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:59He's not your kid.
00:25:01I wish I was.
00:25:02I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:25:05I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:25:08Ouch.
00:25:08I mean, you just heard your son.
00:25:10So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:25:13Permit.
00:25:13Maybe it will be.
00:25:14But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:17I mean, you?
00:25:18Man of the house, please.
00:25:21You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:23I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:26And you're a washed up pack, still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:30How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:32I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:25:34I'm a fucking star.
00:25:36A star?
00:25:37A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:41Jackson, come on.
00:25:42I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:43No, I'm not going.
00:25:45Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:47Preston, Preston, Preston.
00:25:50You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:15What was that?
00:26:16Daniel, what is happening?
00:26:26It was Dad, Mom.
00:26:27Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:29What?
00:26:30I'm so scared.
00:26:30You got me pretty good, babe.
00:26:32What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:34I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:35I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:36What?
00:26:37I didn't?
00:26:38Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:40You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:42I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:44He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:45It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:47Grow up.
00:26:48Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:50What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:52What?
00:26:53Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:57Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:59No.
00:26:59Oh, my God.
00:27:01He's lying.
00:27:03You're a monster.
00:27:05And in front of your son?
00:27:07You have to be kidding.
00:27:08We have to get you to the hospital.
00:27:10Yeah.
00:27:11We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:14Come on.
00:27:15Clean this up.
00:27:18Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:22She's mine now, loser.
00:27:24You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight.
00:27:54To pump you with liquids.
00:27:56To be honest, I could use a break from home.
00:27:59Trouble with the missus?
00:28:02Uh, yeah.
00:28:04Pretty obvious.
00:28:06Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:28:08I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:28:16True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:19I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:23You said, um, couple?
00:28:25I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's a visual.
00:28:30She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:34She was so sweet.
00:28:40Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:43No, it's...
00:28:45It's an old wound.
00:28:46I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:51Daniel!
00:28:52Sweet and caring.
00:28:55So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:58He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:29:00and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:29:08Fuck it.
00:29:08Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:15You once liked my short film.
00:29:17I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:27It needs the right producer.
00:29:28I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:33Where have you been?
00:29:35I kept calling.
00:29:36I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:38So, huh?
00:29:43What?
00:29:44I've been busy.
00:29:45Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:48Seriously?
00:29:49Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:51I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:55Yeah.
00:29:56That's what you want to call it?
00:29:58I...
00:29:59I just...
00:30:00I'm sorry.
00:30:02I...
00:30:03Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:30:08It is what it is.
00:30:12But I mean...
00:30:13You know how the industry works.
00:30:16You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:20And I think you should go for it.
00:30:22I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:25But...
00:30:25I just...
00:30:26I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:31Seriously.
00:30:33I...
00:30:33I care about you.
00:30:38I'm not mad.
00:30:41I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:43I know when you're angry.
00:30:43Really?
00:30:45I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:47I pay attention?
00:30:49Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:52She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:54That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:56A headline.
00:30:58A performance.
00:31:00Sabrina.
00:31:04Sabrina, I'm good.
00:31:05You know what?
00:31:06I hate fighting.
00:31:08So let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:11I was thinking...
00:31:12We could revisit your script.
00:31:17I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:20You telling me you finally read it?
00:31:22Well, yeah.
00:31:23The first ten pages.
00:31:25But they're good.
00:31:26The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:29I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:31Me and you.
00:31:32The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:34I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:40A long time ago.
00:31:42Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:31:44and for the next hour,
00:31:46we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:48Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:51There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:55I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:57Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:59What?
00:32:04I don't know what you do,
00:32:16but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:32:19and it was awful.
00:32:21Well, if I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:32:24I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:26That's not what I meant.
00:32:29I like it when you make it.
00:32:32I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:36I knew it.
00:32:38You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:41I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:44God, it's not like our marriage
00:32:46is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:49Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:53It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:54No, Daniel.
00:32:56No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:03Look what you made me do.
00:33:04Just leave it.
00:33:08I just thought you would appreciate
00:33:09that I read your script.
00:33:12And what?
00:33:13It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:15I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:17And look what I get for it.
00:33:20You know what?
00:33:20Forget it.
00:33:21I have a mirror.
00:33:22We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:24Okay.
00:33:34What?
00:33:40Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:42Yeah.
00:33:42Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:43Not quite.
00:33:44That was the divorce contract.
00:33:46But if you want a clean break,
00:33:47we need to finalize your entertainment contract
00:33:49and our family's NDA.
00:33:50This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:52Remember that.
00:33:53I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:34:04I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood
00:34:08into her trailer on set.
00:34:10Oh, please.
00:34:11She's always been so secretive.
00:34:13I mean, this is her movie premiere,
00:34:14and where is her husband?
00:34:17Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:19I read somewhere that he was just
00:34:21a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:25Oh, oh.
00:34:26If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:33We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:36Do 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.
00:34:42Oh.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood
00:34:46might 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, boring, real dad.
00:34:53Speaking of,
00:34:54I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home
00:34:58doing chores like a maid.
00:35:03What are you doing here?
00:35:07You never come to these things.
00:35:09Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:13Get lost.
00:35:14You embarrass us.
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:17I'm your father.
00:35:17I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:23Is there a problem?
00:35:28Oh, my God.
00:35:30That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:31How could Sabrina choose this flap over Preston?
00:35:35If there was a problem,
00:35:36that's none of your business.
00:35:37I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:39You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:40Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:42You should probably listen to your kid
00:35:44and head out because
00:35:45we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:47I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:49That's not what I see.
00:35:51You showed up uninvited,
00:35:53in street rags,
00:35:54abused Sabrina's kid
00:35:56and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:59That's the kind of story
00:36:00the press would devour.
00:36:02Doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:05And then they would praise Sabrina
00:36:07for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:09This was all a stunt, wasn't it?
00:36:11You were revolting.
00:36:13No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:16Hey.
00:36:18Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:36:20Trash like him is always forgetting
00:36:21their place in the world.
00:36:23Yeah.
00:36:24Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:25Oh, yeah?
00:36:26What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:28You groveling back to your ex
00:36:29that you cheated on
00:36:30so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:32Hmm.
00:36:36Oh!
00:36:41What the hell?
00:36:55What happened?
00:36:57Oh, my God!
00:36:58Daniel!
00:36:59What the hell happened?
00:37:01Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:03Are you okay?
00:37:03Look at her go.
00:37:06Hollywood's finest.
00:37:08Always performing
00:37:09when there's an audience.
00:37:11It's Daniel.
00:37:12He's a monster.
00:37:13He found out about your premiere
00:37:14and crashed the party.
00:37:16Mommy!
00:37:17Dad came in here
00:37:18and started shouting at me.
00:37:19Oh, no.
00:37:20No, that's not true.
00:37:22If Preston weren't here,
00:37:23Daniel would have manhandled
00:37:25Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:27Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:29Daniel, is that true?
00:37:35Sabrina.
00:37:37Oh!
00:37:39Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:42I think one of them's broken.
00:37:44Sabrina, honey,
00:37:46we need to help Preston.
00:37:49But Daniel...
00:37:52Imagine choosing that loser
00:37:55for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:56Oh, God.
00:37:59Mommy, please.
00:38:08We can't leave him.
00:38:10I...
00:38:10I have...
00:38:12I have to help Preston.
00:38:27Come on, Jackson.
00:38:29I have to help you.
00:38:34Daniel!
00:38:35I got you.
00:38:37Don't let me go!
00:38:39She's made her choice.
00:38:41There's no going back.
00:38:42We'll see if Preston can give her
00:38:43the life she's grown used to
00:38:45after all these years of me
00:38:46slaving for her.
00:38:48Well, that went even better
00:38:57than I planned.
00:38:58Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:01I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:03There's an Uber waiting for you outside
00:39:06to take you to the airport.
00:39:08Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:09In fact,
00:39:10get out of the country.
00:39:13If I so much as see your name
00:39:15next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:17I will make your life
00:39:18a living hell.
00:39:19Don't worry about it.
00:39:34Just drive.
00:39:35I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:51Now I just want to breathe
00:39:52without her shadow.
00:39:53Seriously?
00:39:57Stay down.
00:39:58I know.
00:39:58Why is he down?
00:39:59Oh!
00:40:00I'm going to go call the doctor.
00:40:02Hey!
00:40:04What are you doing?
00:40:05I thought you were hurt.
00:40:07I think I'll pull through.
00:40:15So what are you doing?
00:40:17What I've always wanted to.
00:40:19Come on.
00:40:20I know you want this.
00:40:21I see the way you look at me.
00:40:22and now that Daniel's gone.
00:40:24We have the house to ourself.
00:40:26I can finally have you
00:40:28in this bedroom.
00:40:38What am I doing?
00:40:40Daniel is still injured.
00:40:42He should be home.
00:40:46Sabrina?
00:40:52Listen, get off.
00:40:59What?
00:41:00Babe, we can finally.
00:41:02Come on.
00:41:02I said get off.
00:41:03What?
00:41:04I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:06No, forget about him.
00:41:07Look,
00:41:08I love Jackson
00:41:10and I'm ready to be the man
00:41:11that you've always wanted.
00:41:12I'm ready to be a dad
00:41:14to that little boy.
00:41:16I mean, come on.
00:41:17Sabrina,
00:41:18your son,
00:41:19your mother,
00:41:20even Daniel
00:41:21is pushing us together.
00:41:22What?
00:41:23Look,
00:41:24he's already moved on.
00:41:27No.
00:41:28No.
00:41:30What have I done?
00:41:31Where is he?
00:41:33What about me?
00:41:34You had your chance
00:41:3510 years ago.
00:41:37I need to go
00:41:38take care of my husband.
00:41:45Hello?
00:41:46Excuse me.
00:41:48Excuse me.
00:41:49Hi.
00:41:49Have you seen my husband?
00:41:52Please.
00:41:52He was the one bleeding out.
00:41:54I saw him stumble outside
00:41:55holding his head
00:41:56after he spoke
00:41:57to some older woman.
00:41:58He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:02Oh, no.
00:42:03Daniel,
00:42:04where are you?
00:42:05I'm sorry,
00:42:06but the number
00:42:07you are trying to reach
00:42:08is no longer in service.
00:42:10Please try again later.
00:42:12What have I done?
00:42:23Come on, Daniel.
00:42:25Answer me.
00:42:31He's not gone.
00:42:33I know Daniel
00:42:34wouldn't leave me.
00:42:44He loves me too much
00:42:45to abandon me
00:42:46when I need him the most.
00:42:47No.
00:42:51It's not possible.
00:42:53He will be back.
00:42:57No.
00:42:57Boy, it's all the assets.
00:43:09Climb zero,
00:43:10Castillo,
00:43:11Jackson.
00:43:12The waves
00:43:12all spousal support.
00:43:15No.
00:43:16No,
00:43:16he can't leave me.
00:43:18He can't do this to me.
00:43:19I won't sign off on him.
00:43:20I won't sign off on him.
00:43:21I won't sign off on him.
00:43:22All this time,
00:43:33he's gonna leave me.
00:43:35All this time,
00:43:37he's gonna leave me?
00:43:39It can't be.
00:43:52It's not a...
00:43:54Honestly,
00:43:54it doesn't matter.
00:43:55My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:57He loves me.
00:43:59He loves Jackson.
00:44:01He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:03We're his family.
00:44:05After all these years,
00:44:07everything we've been through...
00:44:09I got you.
00:44:31Don't let me go!
00:44:34Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:36Daniel?
00:44:41No,
00:44:42it's Mom.
00:44:42Is everything okay?
00:44:44You sound panicked.
00:44:44Mom.
00:44:47Mom.
00:44:48Daniel.
00:44:49He just left us.
00:44:52Do you know where he is?
00:44:55We have to find him.
00:44:56We can check the hospital
00:44:57or the...
00:44:58Oh,
00:44:59honey.
00:45:00It's over.
00:45:01Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:04You knew?
00:45:04I'll come over in the morning
00:45:06and explain everything.
00:45:15I'm hungry!
00:45:18Dad!
00:45:18Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:21Jackson?
00:45:24I have something to tell you.
00:45:28Your dad...
00:45:29Your dad...
00:45:32He's left us.
00:45:35I'm sorry,
00:45:36but he's not coming back.
00:45:37Yay!
00:45:38He's gone!
00:45:38He's gone!
00:45:40Why would you say that?
00:45:42He was so embarrassing.
00:45:44Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:45:45Mr. Eastwood?
00:45:47What did Preston say?
00:45:49He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:45:51should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:45:52than raising a young man.
00:45:54He was so lame and boring.
00:45:57Now he's gone.
00:45:59Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:01He can be my new dad.
00:46:03Jackson!
00:46:04You have a dad.
00:46:06And he's cared for you
00:46:07for seven years.
00:46:08Yeah,
00:46:09but I hate him!
00:46:16Hello?
00:46:17Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:19Ms. Donovan,
00:46:20it's your accountant.
00:46:21I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:23I'm sorry,
00:46:24I don't have the time.
00:46:25Large sums have been wired
00:46:26to someone named
00:46:27Preston Eastwood.
00:46:29Was that done with your approval?
00:46:30No,
00:46:31but I'm not surprised.
00:46:33Flag his name.
00:46:34I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:38Jackson,
00:46:39I don't want to ever hear you
00:46:40say Preston's name again.
00:46:42Okay?
00:46:43He's not the man you think he is.
00:46:45Your father,
00:46:46the one who raised you
00:46:47and cared about you,
00:46:48is out there,
00:46:48and we need to find him
00:46:50at all costs.
00:46:52What kind of coward
00:46:53abandons his family?
00:46:54Huh?
00:46:55It's despicable.
00:46:57I can't do this anymore.
00:46:59I cancel everything.
00:47:01The interviews
00:47:02and the red carpets.
00:47:03I don't want to be seen.
00:47:06I can't pretend.
00:47:08I just want him back.
00:47:10Honey,
00:47:12time to let him go.
00:47:14You don't love him anyway.
00:47:16Think about what Preston
00:47:18would do for your career.
00:47:19What?
00:47:23How could you say
00:47:24something like that?
00:47:25Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:28He cares for me.
00:47:29He sees me.
00:47:30He was there for me
00:47:32when Preston dropped me
00:47:33like I was nothing.
00:47:35But Daniel
00:47:35is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:39Daniel's my husband
00:47:40and the father of my son.
00:47:42Yeah,
00:47:42some husband
00:47:43abandoning you
00:47:44without a moment's notice,
00:47:45wanting nothing to do
00:47:46with his child
00:47:46just because the contract ended?
00:47:48Contract?
00:47:50What contract?
00:47:54What are you talking about?
00:47:58Forget it.
00:47:59Forget it.
00:48:00Just pretend
00:48:00I didn't say anything.
00:48:02When I caught you
00:48:02and Daniel
00:48:03at the restaurant
00:48:04the other day,
00:48:05you said that
00:48:05he was going on a trip.
00:48:07Is there something
00:48:08you're not telling me?
00:48:09Please.
00:48:10I just want the truth.
00:48:12Mom.
00:48:14Fine.
00:48:15I will tell you the truth.
00:48:17But promise me
00:48:18you won't get mad.
00:48:21I'll tell you the truth,
00:48:23Sabrina.
00:48:25But no,
00:48:26it was all for your own good.
00:48:31When Preston left you,
00:48:32you were distraught.
00:48:34I had to save you.
00:48:36She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:48:38You've always been there for her.
00:48:42From film school to now.
00:48:44I've seen it.
00:48:45She needs you.
00:48:47Stay.
00:48:48Marry her.
00:48:49Love her.
00:48:50So that she's never alone again.
00:48:58It was all just
00:48:59some sort of obligation?
00:49:02How could you do this to me?
00:49:04I wanted to protect you.
00:49:06You wanted to control me.
00:49:07All because you needed me
00:49:09for my career,
00:49:10my money.
00:49:11Well,
00:49:12it worked, didn't it?
00:49:16You were about to
00:49:18throw yourself
00:49:19off a rooftop.
00:49:20Daniel did
00:49:21what he was meant to do.
00:49:23He kept you together.
00:49:24Where?
00:49:25Where did he go?
00:49:27I know he told you
00:49:28where he went.
00:49:29Where is he?
00:49:30You can do better than him.
00:49:32You are Sabrina Donovan,
00:49:35Hollywood starlet.
00:49:36And believe me,
00:49:37it's for the best.
00:49:38No!
00:49:39He can't be gone!
00:49:40He can't!
00:49:41Yes!
00:49:42He is gone,
00:49:43and he is gone forever.
00:49:45He can't be!
00:49:46He can't be gone!
00:49:47He can't!
00:49:48I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated
00:50:13a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:17Speaking of which,
00:50:18there he is now,
00:50:19Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:23Daniel,
00:50:24your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:28What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:30Honestly,
00:50:31I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:50:33Nobody told me how.
00:50:35Oh man,
00:50:36how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:50:38I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:50:40Uh, yeah,
00:50:41um,
00:50:42God,
00:50:42my career has been a long time in the making,
00:50:45and I haven't been very honest about it,
00:50:47actually.
00:50:47I almost,
00:50:48I almost gave up the dream.
00:50:49But,
00:50:50London,
00:50:51London lit the fire under me,
00:50:53and I feel like I've found my voice,
00:50:54and it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:57Speaking of London,
00:50:58since you're an American writer-director,
00:51:00will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:02Hollywood.
00:51:06Get out of the country.
00:51:08If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:51:13I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:18Daniel?
00:51:32He's no good at bragging about himself,
00:51:34so I'll do it for him.
00:51:35Daniel is a true auteur,
00:51:38and a pretty genius,
00:51:40and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:51:43That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:51:45two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress,
00:51:48and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:51:51Well,
00:51:51I've heard that,
00:51:52uh,
00:51:52your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:55We'll never tell.
00:51:56Oh my god,
00:52:00thanks for saving me.
00:52:01She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:03I know,
00:52:04jeez.
00:52:05This is so surreal.
00:52:06I mean,
00:52:06I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:08I can.
00:52:10The moment I read your script,
00:52:11I knew you were special.
00:52:14Daniel,
00:52:14enjoy this,
00:52:17and get used to compliments.
00:52:20There's already asked of us.
00:52:21Fuck.
00:52:22Finish me,
00:52:23I know.
00:52:24I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:24You okay?
00:52:29You always do that when you're nervous.
00:52:31I know,
00:52:31it's, um,
00:52:32I'll have it.
00:52:34Well,
00:52:35the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:52:38Some of us just got a head start.
00:52:51I know.
00:52:53Our press is good press.
00:52:54Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:53:01and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch.
00:53:05Ugh.
00:53:06He can't do this to me.
00:53:08Sabrina.
00:53:09You don't need him.
00:53:11Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:12How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:15Move on?
00:53:16Oh, please, honey.
00:53:18He is using her.
00:53:20Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:23He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:26How could you say that?
00:53:27I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:53:31He's proving that to the whole world.
00:53:34Don't you see it?
00:53:35Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:53:37A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:53:43Well, when he's not whining.
00:53:45And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:53:48You have everything.
00:53:50I don't have him.
00:53:53Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:54Go have the chef make something.
00:53:56No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:59Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:01Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:03He's your dad.
00:54:04No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:07Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:10It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:12When did he get so cruel?
00:54:15You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:18A doormat.
00:54:20Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:21Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:23Enough, you little shit.
00:54:27Enough.
00:54:28Just enough.
00:54:29Sabrina?
00:54:31What's gotten into you?
00:54:32Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:54:36Whoa.
00:54:37What's going on here?
00:54:38This room feels really tense.
00:54:40Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:54:42I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:54:44No.
00:54:45I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:54:47And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:54:51It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:57Hey, baby.
00:54:59Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:02Really?
00:55:03Loser?
00:55:04Yeah.
00:55:04You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:08And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:13That's really, really low.
00:55:19Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:55:24Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:55:26To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:55:29Face it, Preston.
00:55:31You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:55:33And you're a fucking thief.
00:55:36Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:55:38You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:55:41I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:55:43Because you know what?
00:55:45Honestly, I pity you.
00:55:46It's not like that.
00:55:48Okay?
00:55:48Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:51I want to marry you.
00:55:52We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:55What's my birthday?
00:55:57Huh?
00:55:57What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:59What's my favorite color?
00:56:00My favorite song?
00:56:01Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:04Oh, oh wait.
00:56:05What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:08You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:10You don't love me.
00:56:11You don't even know me.
00:56:13This isn't a relationship.
00:56:15This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:18And you know what?
00:56:19I'm done.
00:56:20Get out.
00:56:21I don't want to ever see you again.
00:56:23We're over.
00:56:25We're over.
00:56:26What?
00:56:26No, babe, babe, come on.
00:56:27Please, please, I love you.
00:56:29Just, just think about it.
00:56:30Look at the press.
00:56:31What this will look like?
00:56:33If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:56:37Get out.
00:56:38Hey, just...
00:56:38Now.
00:56:40Just give me your hand.
00:56:40Come on.
00:56:41No.
00:56:42I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:56:45Nobody sees the real me.
00:56:46I see you, Sabrina.
00:56:47I see all of you.
00:56:51And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:53He truly knew me.
00:56:57He loved me.
00:56:59Every flaw.
00:57:01Every fear.
00:57:02Contract or not.
00:57:04He truly loved me.
00:57:06I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:08Saved me?
00:57:10You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:12Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:15And he saved me from you.
00:57:18Security!
00:57:20Security!
00:57:21Come on.
00:57:22Just let's talk about this.
00:57:23No.
00:57:24Come on.
00:57:25Celeste, do something.
00:57:27Sabrina!
00:57:28Come on, Sabrina!
00:57:30Was that really necessary?
00:57:32I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:57:36Is that all you care about?
00:57:38The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:57:41God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:57:47Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:50Of course I care about you.
00:57:52I love you.
00:57:54Then prove it.
00:57:56If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:00You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:14I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:17In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:58:22I mean, you know this.
00:58:23You're a legend.
00:58:25I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:58:26All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:58:28You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:58:30I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:58:32I got projects.
00:58:33Come on!
00:58:34You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made
00:58:38in L.A., not London.
00:58:40That's where you belong.
00:58:42To be honest, I already did all.
00:58:44It didn't really end well.
00:58:46Let me guess.
00:58:47My girl?
00:58:48If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:53You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:56You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:00You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:02Three-picture deal.
00:59:03Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:05Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:07I don't know what to say.
00:59:08Just say yes.
00:59:09You have my number.
00:59:10Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:13Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:14You can't run away from the past.
00:59:16You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:59:18Hey, it's been a while.
00:59:32Can we talk?
00:59:33Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:59:37Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:59:43Is this a personal story where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:59:48Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:52Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:57You arrogant little shit.
00:59:59I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:04It's Celeste Donovan.
01:00:10I need a favor.
01:00:11I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:00:17It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:22Mom, what are you doing?
01:00:27Did you just break my TV?
01:00:29Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:00:32You know I'm not supposed to do that.
01:00:34You've been so kind, though.
01:00:35Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:00:40He's back.
01:00:43Why didn't you tell me?
01:00:45Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:00:47I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:50I need to get on that movie.
01:00:52Absolutely not.
01:00:53You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:55If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:58Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:00He still loves me.
01:01:02He has to.
01:01:06I just need to talk to him.
01:01:08Let him go.
01:01:11Mom.
01:01:13Honey, I...
01:01:15You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:01:19I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:01:21I love you.
01:01:25I love you, too.
01:01:29Here we go.
01:01:31This is, um...
01:01:33It's another movie deal.
01:01:34I'll tell you about it after.
01:01:35Did you get his location?
01:01:53The Oaks.
01:01:548 p.m.
01:01:55After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:01He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:03She's not protecting me.
01:02:14She's protecting her business.
01:02:16And I'm just a pawn.
01:02:18But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:02:20It's so nice having you back.
01:02:24And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:02:26Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:02:28A couple?
01:02:30Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:02:34If you can even call them that.
01:02:35But you're healthy now.
01:02:36And I'm at the top of my career.
01:02:38I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina.
01:02:41But I really thought I could make it work.
01:02:44The marriage, the kids.
01:02:46I mean, we really tried.
01:02:47I thought I could make it go for it.
01:02:48But, um...
01:02:50It's over.
01:02:52It's over.
01:02:53I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks press Cindy Swick can offer.
01:03:05Oh.
01:03:06You haven't heard?
01:03:07She dumped him.
01:03:09It was all over People Magazine.
01:03:11She ended it when his star faded.
01:03:15Oh, my God.
01:03:16What?
01:03:22Daniel!
01:03:25Stop!
01:03:33Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:03:35I'm here to help you.
01:03:37Sabrina.
01:03:37You're making a scene.
01:03:39Let's go home.
01:03:40Sabrina.
01:03:41How could you?
01:03:42What?
01:03:42I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:03:46I begged and pleaded.
01:03:48Stop lying.
01:03:49I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:54And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:59Oh, my God.
01:03:59Oh, my God.
01:04:00Oh, my God.
01:04:00You're disgusting.
01:04:01I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:03Not anymore.
01:04:04Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:09I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:04:12I'm your mother.
01:04:13I only want what's best for you.
01:04:17What's best for me?
01:04:20You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:04:25That all ends today.
01:04:27You're fired.
01:04:32Fired.
01:04:34No.
01:04:36No.
01:04:41No.
01:04:42You can't do this to me.
01:04:44Please.
01:04:45Please, sweetie.
01:04:45I have dedicated my life to you.
01:04:47You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:52I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:55You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:57There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:01I made you.
01:05:02You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:07I think she'll do just fine.
01:05:14We're done here, Mom.
01:05:17If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:05:24Without another word.
01:05:27I have something to say.
01:05:39I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:42I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:05:45I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:50I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:59Apologize to your father.
01:06:00Do I have to?
01:06:02Who raised you?
01:06:05Cared for you?
01:06:08Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:06:11Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:06:15He did.
01:06:16He loved you.
01:06:18But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:06:20I was wrong.
01:06:21Jackson.
01:06:22He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:06:26And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:06:31I'm sorry, Dad.
01:06:35It's going to be okay, son.
01:06:37I still love you.
01:06:38Okay.
01:06:39Come on, Jackson.
01:06:40Let's go.
01:06:41I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:50For everything.
01:07:00I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:02You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:07I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:07:09They hurt you, Daniel.
01:07:12They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:07:18People can change.
01:07:21But that doesn't change the past.
01:07:27And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:07:34Daniel!
01:07:35Daniel!
01:07:36Daniel!
01:07:36Daniel!
01:07:37Daniel!
01:07:37Daniel!
01:07:37Daniel is a traitor.
01:07:39Is it rude that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:07:43Yes.
01:07:44I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but, um, I think I found my way back.
01:07:50But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:52Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:03Way to go, Jan!
01:08:04Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:08:18Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
