00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:10That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:18Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:24Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:30Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:37Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:42You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:48Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:00I'll always love my son.
00:01:04But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:08You're just a worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:17All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:26You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now.
00:01:32Stay. Marry her.
00:01:34Love her.
00:01:35So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:42And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:46If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:53Mom, Daniel.
00:01:59What's going on?
00:02:03What's going on?
00:02:05Honey!
00:02:06I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:11If the paparazzi catch him next to you, lol.
00:02:14But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:19Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:23Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:31Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:33Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:37I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:47I mean, we owe him.
00:02:49Yeah, and then he cheated on you.
00:02:51And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:53I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No!
00:03:01I want to eat now!
00:03:02You always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:23I got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:30Ew, what is this?
00:03:32It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:34I don't want healthy food.
00:03:35I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:36Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:39You can't have that every day.
00:03:41It's not healthy for you.
00:03:42But I want that.
00:03:44Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:49I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:51Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:01I gave it everything I had.
00:04:04But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:06And myself as a wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:13Just enough.
00:04:18I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:28Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:31Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:38Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:44Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:45We'll get you some real food.
00:04:52Seriously?
00:04:53Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:06It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:08It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:12Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:18And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:22Yeah, you get it.
00:05:25Mwah!
00:05:26Love you.
00:05:27I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:34Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:37The movie's green, Link.
00:05:45And the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:47We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, Mom.
00:06:08How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:09I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:15Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:19I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:21But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:25I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:31I am, Mom, and I promise very soon everything's going to change.
00:06:42That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:44You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, Mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:06Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:17All right, cut.
00:07:25That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:28We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was the rising star.
00:07:34I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:38Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden castle.
00:07:47We're going to be here.
00:08:17Don't be present.
00:08:19You're something left.
00:08:34Sabrina, don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:40Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:43Just...
00:08:46Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:01Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:05No! Don't let me go!
00:09:07I won't ever let you go.
00:09:09I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:17Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:21I see all of you.
00:09:23And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:26Good to see ya!
00:09:27Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:28Oh, too long.
00:09:29Look at you!
00:09:30Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:32Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:33Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:34Are you kidding?
00:09:35Oh, Daniel.
00:09:36Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:39Oh, there he is!
00:09:40The assistant!
00:09:41I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:45How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:48Stop!
00:09:49I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:08Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:12Daniel!
00:10:13Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:15No, it's fine.
00:10:16I'm sorry.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough.
00:10:24You think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:27He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:32What are you saying, huh?
00:10:34Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:38It's fine.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:45Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:01Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:03But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:14Oh, careful.
00:11:15You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:20Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:26Ew.
00:11:27What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:32Daniel.
00:11:33If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets!
00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:42Oh, babe.
00:11:43For real?
00:11:44Yeah.
00:11:45My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:48Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:50Rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:55I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:01You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:03You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:05They were so dull.
00:12:06Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:14So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:18My treat.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21What to do?
00:12:22Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25I'll let you insist.
00:12:26I mean, I'm already dressed, so...
00:12:28Okay.
00:12:29Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a...
00:12:34a little bit of a drisco, so...
00:12:36Anyways!
00:12:37Come on, Ben, let's go!
00:12:39That's great.
00:12:40Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:42Oh!
00:12:44There's Paps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:49I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:53It is the last time.
00:12:56Guys?
00:12:59Hi!
00:13:00Jackson.
00:13:04Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:10Contract signed.
00:13:13It's over.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is it ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with Donovan.
00:13:44Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:52Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood.
00:13:57I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00Oh, gee.
00:14:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:04The scene that I wrote.
00:14:05Uncredited, of course.
00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait.
00:14:10Are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually...
00:14:12This is totally a date.
00:14:13All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:24You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:26Your brand?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:30You get it.
00:14:31Right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:55This is so going viral.
00:14:56I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:58It looks like more than dating.
00:15:00Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:06You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:08That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:11He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:14But Preston is awesome.
00:15:17He's an action spy.
00:15:18I wish he was my dad.
00:15:20My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party with a call girl.
00:15:30It's okay, buddy.
00:15:31Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:33If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:36That is if mom schools it.
00:15:38Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:40Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:42Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:44Come on, let's go Michelle.
00:16:05Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:18Daniel!
00:16:20You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23On the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:27Daniel, he's here.
00:16:28He...
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:31Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:32I was just doing that for Lucy.
00:16:34I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:35Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:41Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:49Well, that's it then.
00:16:51Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53You need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:00You're really good at that.
00:17:02Ooh!
00:17:03I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket.
00:17:08So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:17I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:22This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:44Honey!
00:17:45Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:47We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:50Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:52A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:01What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:04That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09That's fine.
00:18:10Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:13Just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look how you see.
00:18:17Is it me?
00:18:18Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:24You know what?
00:18:25Maybe I should go.
00:18:26I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:29I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:32No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:35And clearly she wants you.
00:18:37I'm willing to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:41I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:45It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:51I'm gonna go back.
00:18:55Daniel!
00:18:56Oh, good.
00:18:57You're up.
00:18:58Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:19:13It was fun.
00:19:15Well, don't look at me like that.
00:19:18I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:21Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:25How lucky for him.
00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:30Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:34Yeah.
00:19:35Listen, man.
00:19:36I...
00:19:37I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:40You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're at the top.
00:19:45You need to go right now.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:49Oh, hey.
00:19:50Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:52I...
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:58I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:08Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:10Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:16Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:28That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:40God.
00:20:41God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:50No, it's not like that. I...
00:20:53What?
00:20:55You know what? Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:02And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:21Um...
00:21:22I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:29Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:33I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:41I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:56If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:00I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:05Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:26There he is.
00:22:28God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:32Man.
00:22:34No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:35Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:36Mmm.
00:22:37Mmm.
00:22:38Mmm.
00:22:39Mmm.
00:22:40Mmm.
00:22:41Mmm.
00:22:43Mmm.
00:22:44Mmm.
00:22:45There he is.
00:22:46God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:48Man.
00:22:49No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:54Mmm.
00:22:56Mmm.
00:22:57Got some.
00:22:58Yeah.
00:22:59What do you need?
00:23:00Oh.
00:23:01Oh.
00:23:02Yeah, there you go.
00:23:03I don't need some of this shit, but...
00:23:04I like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:06Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:12Hey, uh...
00:23:13You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of you last night, right?
00:23:18No?
00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:22Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:27It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:34What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:35Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:36I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:37And it's unfair!
00:23:38That's a shame, huh?
00:23:39You know what?
00:23:40Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:41Here we go.
00:23:42Ooh!
00:23:43No!
00:23:44No!
00:23:45Not to play with them!
00:23:46You never let me do anything!
00:23:47Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:48You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:49It's not about the money.
00:23:50It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:51Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:52Yeah?
00:23:53What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:54You're so annoying!
00:23:55Don't push!
00:23:57No!
00:23:58No!
00:23:59No!
00:24:00Don't push!
00:24:01No!
00:24:02No!
00:24:03No!
00:24:04No!
00:24:05No!
00:24:06It's not about the money, it's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:15Yeah? What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:18You're so annoying!
00:24:20Don't push.
00:24:27I said don't push, go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him? He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man servant like you.
00:24:35What the hell did you just show me?
00:24:40Call it a lesson, I'm teaching a kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:42He's not your kid.
00:24:44I wish I was! I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever! I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:51Ouch! I mean, you just hurt your son, so why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:57Maybe it will be, but until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:01You? Man of the house, please. You're a pussy in an apron. I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:10And you're washed apart, still riding on all your old headlines. How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:16Um, I heard your agent's begging for scrap.
00:25:18I'm a fucking star!
00:25:20A star? A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:25Jackson, come on. I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:28No, I'm not going! Preston's way cooler than you! Preston! Preston! Preston!
00:25:34You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:09Daniel! What is happening?
00:26:11It was Dad, Mom! Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:15What? You're so scared!
00:26:16I thought it'd be pretty good, baby.
00:26:18What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:19I just wanted to hang out with your ex, and I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:22What? I didn't.
00:26:23Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you? You're acting like a jealous child. I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me!
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank! Grow up!
00:26:34Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:36What if your little Albers was caught by the press?
00:26:38What? Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:42Maybe I should go, I'm sorry.
00:26:44No! Oh my God!
00:26:46He's lying!
00:26:48He's lying!
00:26:49You're a monster!
00:26:50And in front of your son? You have to be kidding! We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:55Sure.
00:26:56We'll talk about this when I get home. Come on. Clean this up!
00:27:04Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:08Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:27:20Hello, 9-1-1, what's your emergency?
00:27:23Oh, wait a minute. I think I hit an RV. I need an ambulance now.
00:27:28Now!
00:27:30You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:44To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.
00:27:47Trouble with the missus?
00:27:50Uh... yeah. Pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here. Miss Preston Eastwood.
00:28:04True love story, holding hands, wiping tears. I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:28:12You said, um, a couple?
00:28:15I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:28:19She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted. She was so sweet.
00:28:29Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:32No, it's... it's my wound.
00:28:36I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Daniel!
00:28:42Sweet and caring.
00:28:44So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.
00:28:47He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:50And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:56Fuck you!
00:28:58Fuck you!
00:29:00I'm gonna get my shit and go.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:07I have a strip I've been sitting on.
00:29:09It needs the right producer. I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:24Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling. I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:30Huh?
00:29:35What? I've been busy.
00:29:36Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:39Seriously?
00:29:41Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:49I... I just...
00:29:53I'm sorry. I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what it is.
00:30:04But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:13And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:16What?
00:30:17I just...
00:30:19I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:26I... I care about you.
00:30:31I know that.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:35I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really? I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:44She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever wants to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:01I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking...
00:31:07We could...
00:31:08Revisit your script.
00:31:12I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah.
00:31:18The first ten pages, but...
00:31:20They're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:26Me and you.
00:31:27The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:30I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:31:39and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:43Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:49I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:51Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55Wait.
00:32:10I don't know what you do, but...
00:32:13I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:32:16and it was...awful.
00:32:18I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:32:20and I'll be sure to tell them how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:33I knew it.
00:32:35You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:45Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:49It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:02Just...
00:33:04Just leave it.
00:33:06I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:10And what?
00:33:11It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I have a premiere.
00:33:20We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:21What?
00:33:22Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:23Yeah.
00:33:24Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:25Not quite.
00:33:26That was the divorce contract.
00:33:27But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize our entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:30This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:31Remember that.
00:33:32I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:34What?
00:33:35I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:36There.
00:33:37The movie.
00:33:38The movie.
00:33:39Not now.
00:33:40.
00:33:41But if you don't mind the story.
00:33:43The movie.
00:33:44What?
00:33:45Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:46Yeah.
00:33:48Ex-mother-in-law?
00:33:49Not quite.
00:33:50That was the divorce contract.
00:33:51But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize our entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:53I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh please, she's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean this is her movie premiere and where is her husband?
00:34:15Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:22Oh wow, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:27Come here.
00:34:29Jackson! We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood. He's been staying with us.
00:34:42Really?
00:34:44Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh I hope so. I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old born real dad.
00:34:54Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:00What are you doing here? You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well that's gotta be the husband.
00:35:13Get lost! You embarrass us!
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.
00:35:18I wish you never were my dad!
00:35:21Is there a problem?
00:35:22Oh my god. That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:23How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:36If there was a problem, listen to your business.
00:35:38I wish Preston was my dad! You're a pathetic loser!
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:53You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05Doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all I'll stop, was it?
00:36:14You were revolting. No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:20How are you watching now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah. Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh yeah? What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:57What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:01Oh my god! Daniel!
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding. Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go. Hollywood's finest. Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:14It's Daniel. He's a monster. He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy! Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No. No, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:31Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel. Is that true?
00:37:40Sabrina.
00:37:42Oh!
00:37:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs. I think one of them is broken.
00:37:48Sabrina. Honey. We need to help Preston.
00:37:52Help Preston.
00:37:55But Daniel.
00:37:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:01I'll probably ease one.
00:38:13Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:16I-I-I have-I have to help Preston.
00:38:19You're arrested.
00:38:34Come out, Jack.
00:38:41Daniel!
00:38:42I got you.
00:38:44No, let me go!
00:38:46She's made her choice. There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:39:02Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:15Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:20If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:25I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it. Just try.
00:39:28Don't worry about it. Just try.
00:39:32Don't worry about it.
00:39:43Just try.
00:39:56I used to beg for her approval.
00:39:59Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:06Slow down.
00:40:07What does he do?
00:40:09I'm not going to call the doctor.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:14What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:25So what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:30I know you want this.
00:40:31I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32Now that Daniel's gone.
00:40:34We have the house to herself.
00:40:36I can finally have you in his bedroom.
00:40:39What am I doing?
00:40:49What am I doing?
00:40:50Daniel is still injured.
00:40:52He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Sabrina?
00:41:08Kristen.
00:41:09Get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally come here.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No.
00:41:18Forget about him.
00:41:19Look.
00:41:20I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:28I mean come on.
00:41:29Sabrina.
00:41:30Your son.
00:41:31Your mother.
00:41:32Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:34What?
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:38No.
00:41:39What have I done?
00:41:40Where is he?
00:41:41What about me?
00:41:42You had your chance.
00:41:43Ten years ago.
00:41:44I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:45Hello?
00:41:46Excuse me.
00:41:47Excuse me.
00:41:48Hi.
00:41:49Have you seen my husband?
00:41:50Please.
00:41:51He was the one bleeding out.
00:41:52Um, I saw him stumble out there.
00:41:53What?
00:41:54What?
00:41:55What?
00:41:56What?
00:41:57What?
00:41:58What?
00:41:59What?
00:42:00What?
00:42:01What?
00:42:02What?
00:42:03What?
00:42:04What?
00:42:05What?
00:42:06What?
00:42:07What?
00:42:08What?
00:42:09What?
00:42:10What?
00:42:11What?
00:42:12What?
00:42:13Oh, no.
00:42:14God damn it.
00:42:15Where are you?
00:42:16I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:20Please try again later.
00:42:21What have I done?
00:42:32Oh, come on, Daniel. Answer me.
00:42:45He's not gone. I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:58He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:02No, no.
00:43:05It's not possible. He will be back.
00:43:11No.
00:43:22Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb Zero, Garcia, Jackson.
00:43:27The waves all spousal support.
00:43:29No, no. He can't leave me.
00:43:33He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on him.
00:43:45No.
00:43:47All this time, he's going to leave me.
00:43:51It can't be.
00:44:09It's not it.
00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:16He loves Jackson.
00:44:18He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:20We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years, everything we've been through.
00:44:25I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go.
00:44:50Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:58No, it's Mom.
00:45:00Is everything okay?
00:45:01He's not paying attention.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:06Daniel.
00:45:07He just left us.
00:45:09Do you know where he is?
00:45:13We have to find him.
00:45:14We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:16Oh, honey.
00:45:18It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:23I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry.
00:45:36Dad, breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:40Tax him?
00:45:43I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:49Your dad.
00:45:52He's left us.
00:45:54I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay, he's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01It was so embarrassing.
00:46:03Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone!
00:46:19Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:23Jackson!
00:46:24You have a dad.
00:46:26And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:44I'm sorry.
00:46:44I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:51No.
00:46:52But I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:55I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:59Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:03Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:13What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:16Huh?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:18I can't do this anymore.
00:47:21I'll cancel everything.
00:47:23The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:25I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:30I just want him back.
00:47:32Honey.
00:47:33It's time to let him go.
00:47:36You don't love him anyway.
00:47:38And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:48Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:51He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:01Daniel's my husband.
00:48:03And the father of my son.
00:48:04Hey, uh, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with his child just because I contraended?
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:14What are you talking about?
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Forget it.
00:48:22Forget it.
00:48:23Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:25When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:33Please.
00:48:33I just want the truth.
00:48:36Mom.
00:48:36Fine.
00:48:38I will tell you the truth.
00:48:41But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:43I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:49But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:52When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:59I had to save you.
00:49:01She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:02You've always been there for her, from film school to now.
00:49:08I've seen it.
00:49:10She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:14So that she's never alone again.
00:49:23It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:27How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:31You wanted to control me.
00:49:33All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:38You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:46Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:53I know he told you where he went.
00:49:55Where is he?
00:49:56You can do better than him.
00:49:58You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:50:01Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't.
00:50:07Yes, he is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone again.
00:50:14I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of how the tame silver box that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:18I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of how the tame silver box that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:42Speaking of which, there he is now.
00:50:46Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:51Daniel, your film received the palm door at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:56Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speech.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:07Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:17But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:35Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:55He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:12That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:21Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:52:32She was practically I fucking you.
00:52:34I know, jeez.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:39I can.
00:52:40The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:48And get used to compliments.
00:52:51There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me, I know.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:53:00You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:02I'll have it.
00:53:05Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:53:10So, it's just got a head start.
00:53:11Daniel, our press is good press.
00:53:25Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:38You can't do this to me!
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:43Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:45How can you move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:48Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:51He is using her.
00:53:53Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:56He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:54:00I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:04He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:07Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:09Look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:54:22You have everything.
00:54:24I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:28Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:33Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:35Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:37He's your dad.
00:54:38No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:41Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:46When did he get so cruel?
00:54:49You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:56Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough, you little shit.
00:55:02Enough.
00:55:03Just enough.
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:06Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:11Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:19No.
00:55:20I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:26It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:55:29Hey, man.
00:55:34Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:36Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:39Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:44And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:48That's really, really low.
00:55:55Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Come on.
00:56:01We're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:13Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:15You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:23It's not like that.
00:56:24Okay?
00:56:25Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:28I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:32What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:38My favorite song?
00:56:39Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:43What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:45You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:49You don't even know me.
00:56:51This isn't a relationship.
00:56:53This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:59I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:03We're over.
00:57:04Hey, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please.
00:57:06Please, I love you.
00:57:07Just think about it.
00:57:09Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:10If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey, just.
00:57:17Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:24Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:31He truly knew me.
00:57:35He loved me.
00:57:38Every flaw.
00:57:40Every fear.
00:57:41Contract or not.
00:57:43He truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:48Saved me?
00:57:49You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:52Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:54And he saved me from you.
00:57:57Security.
00:58:00Security.
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:01Just let's talk about this.
00:58:03No.
00:58:04Come on.
00:58:05Celeste.
00:58:05Do something.
00:58:07Sabrina.
00:58:08More than Sabrina.
00:58:09Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all you care about?
00:58:18The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:58:22God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:33I love you.
00:58:35Then prove it.
00:58:36But if you ever want me in front of the camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:53You'll have to forgive me, Miss Julie.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:58In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:03I mean, you know this.
00:59:05You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:08All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:09You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:12I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:15Come on.
00:59:16You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:59:21not London.
00:59:22That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:59:27It didn't really end well.
00:59:28Let me guess.
00:59:29A girl?
00:59:30If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:35You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:39You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:43You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:44Three-picture deal.
00:59:45Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:47Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:49I don't know what to say.
00:59:50Just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:57You can't run away from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:12Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:15Can we talk?
01:00:16Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:21Of course.
01:00:22It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:27Is this a personal story?
01:00:29Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:33Oh...
01:00:33She knows who she is.
01:00:36Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:41You arrogant little shit.
01:00:43I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:53It's less, Donovan.
01:00:54I need a favor.
01:00:56I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:01:02It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom?
01:01:07What are you doing?
01:01:08Did you just break my TV?
01:01:14Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:17You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:19You've been so kind, though.
01:01:20Um, it's called...
01:01:22You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:26He's back.
01:01:28Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:30Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:33I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:36I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not.
01:01:39You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:41If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:44Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:47He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:51I just need to talk to him.
01:01:54Let him go.
01:01:57Mom.
01:01:58Honey, I...
01:02:01You know, I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:05I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:09I love you.
01:02:12I love you, too.
01:02:15Here we go.
01:02:18This is, um...
01:02:19It's another movie deal.
01:02:21I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Okay.
01:02:28Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks.
01:02:418 p.m.
01:02:43After I'm done with him,
01:02:45Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:48He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:50I love you.
01:02:50I love you.
01:02:58She's not protecting me.
01:03:02She's protecting her business.
01:03:04And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:06But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:10So nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:14Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:16A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:22If you can even call them that.
01:03:24But you're healthy now.
01:03:25And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:26I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina,
01:03:30but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:32To marriage, to kids.
01:03:35I mean, we really tried.
01:03:36I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:03:39It's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:42I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy
01:03:44she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:54Oh.
01:03:55You haven't heard?
01:03:56She dumped him.
01:03:59It was all over People magazine.
01:04:01She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:04Oh my God, what?
01:04:11Daniel!
01:04:15Stop!
01:04:15Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:04:25I'm here to help you.
01:04:27Sabrina, you're making a scene.
01:04:30Let's go home.
01:04:31Sabrina?
01:04:31How could you?
01:04:32What?
01:04:33I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition,
01:04:36but he said no.
01:04:37I begged and pleaded.
01:04:38Stop lying.
01:04:40Hey, I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:44Hey, I'll bet you called the paparazzi too to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:50Oh my God, you're disgusting.
01:04:52I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:54Not anymore.
01:04:56Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:05:00I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:05:03I'm your mother.
01:05:05I only want what's best for you.
01:05:08What's best for me?
01:05:12You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:16And that all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:24Fired.
01:05:26No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:33No.
01:05:34You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:38I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:40You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:43I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:47You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:50There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:54I made you.
01:05:55You'd be nothing without me.
01:06:00I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:08We're done here, Mom.
01:06:09If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:17Without another word.
01:06:29I have something to say.
01:06:31I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:36I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:44I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:53Apologize to your father.
01:06:55Do I have to?
01:06:56Jackson, who raised you?
01:07:00Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:06Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:10He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:13But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:15I was wrong.
01:07:16Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:21And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:26I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:30It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:32I love you.
01:07:34Okay.
01:07:35Come on, Jackson.
01:07:36Let's go.
01:07:36Come on.
01:07:43I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:46For everything.
01:07:47Okay.
01:07:51I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of going back to them.
01:08:01No.
01:08:03I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:05They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:08They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:15People can change.
01:08:17But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:24And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:33Daniel!
01:08:33I'm here, Daniel!
01:08:35Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars were both writing and directing
01:08:39sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:41Yes.
01:08:41I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:47But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:51I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:09:01Way to go, John!
01:09:02Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:23We'll keep in touch.
01:09:24How many more do we have today?
01:09:32Forty.
01:09:33Sorry.
01:09:33Jesus.
01:09:34Hey, boy!
01:09:36How are we looking?
01:09:37Still big in here.
01:09:38Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:41I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:45All right, here's the deal.
01:09:46The studio is on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:50Today?
01:09:51Are you fucking cute?
01:09:53That's why I love you, man.
01:09:54Cool under pressure.
01:09:55This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:10:01Oh, my God.
01:10:02All right, just printing the next one.
01:10:04But that would be Emily Blake.
01:10:10Emily.
01:10:11Amazing, as always.
01:10:19You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:22Please.
01:10:23I wasn't going to miss a shot too much for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:28How's LA treating you?
01:10:29Oh, my God.
01:10:31Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:33But I am...
01:10:35I'm glad to be back.
01:10:37Well, it's no English countryside.
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:39But it suits you.
01:10:43You definitely belong here.
01:10:47I do miss you, though.
01:10:49It was fun.
01:10:51Playing the part.
01:10:52British starlet.
01:10:54American director.
01:10:56I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:00Waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:03I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:04It just cast me and McCall's even.
01:11:09You were amazing, as always.
01:11:12It's just...
01:11:13It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:18I never was, was I?
01:11:21Anyways.
01:11:22Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:25Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:27Yeah.
01:11:27Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:41Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:44And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:46Oh, my God.
01:11:53What am I going to do?
01:12:01That was quick.
01:12:12What are you doing here?
01:12:12I came to audition.
01:12:19Did you bring any representation?
01:12:21No.
01:12:22I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:25I'm starting fresh.
01:12:27Right, um...
01:12:31Hi.
01:12:32I'm Serena Donovan.
01:12:37Don't let me go!
01:12:38I got you.
01:12:39I'll never let you go.
01:12:42Are you okay?
01:12:44Yeah.
01:12:45It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:48never really healed.
01:12:51I understand.
01:12:56Daniel Johnson.
01:12:59Nice to meet you.
01:13:02Please.
01:13:03Whenever you're ready.
01:13:12Come on.
01:13:22Please.
