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

01:11:00Waiting for us
