00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.

00:00:06That loser actually won an Oscar?

00:00:09Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.

00:00:12Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?

00:00:17Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I got my way back.

00:00:22I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.

00:00:27Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.

00:00:32You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.

00:00:37Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.

00:00:41If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.

00:00:49I'll always love my son. He's a bully, and he learned her from the best in the business, his grandmother.

00:00:53You still worship Sabrina. What happened?

00:00:55That was a long time ago.

00:00:57America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.

00:01:00All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.

00:01:03With her career singing by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.

00:01:08You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.

00:01:11She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her.

00:01:16So that she doesn't face the world alone.

00:01:18I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.

00:01:21And I'd cherish her like no other man would.

00:01:24If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.

00:01:29This was the last one.

00:01:32Mom, Daniel.

00:01:34What's going on?

00:01:38What's going on?

00:01:39Honey!

00:01:40I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.

00:01:44If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.

00:01:47But I need to go.

00:01:48I have an appointment with your stylist.

00:01:51Think about it, Daniel.

00:01:55Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.

00:01:59Then I will be free.

00:02:00Sabrina, we need to talk.

00:02:02Ugh, can't wait.

00:02:03I'm seriously so spent.

00:02:05I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.

00:02:09I saw Preston was there.

00:02:11I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.

00:02:14I mean, we owe him.

00:02:15Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.

00:02:18I'm starving.

00:02:19When are we eating?

00:02:20Lunch is on the stove.

00:02:22But first, your mother and I need to talk.

00:02:24No!

00:02:25I want to eat now!

00:02:26Hmm, you always know the spot.

00:02:36He doesn't listen.

00:02:37Daniel, please.

00:02:39I had to migrate all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Vanity Fair shoot.

00:02:44Ugh.

00:02:45I got something I need to tell you.

00:02:46I'll make it quick.

00:02:47This isn't easy, but I'm...

00:02:48Ew, what is this?

00:02:50It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.

00:02:52I don't want healthy food.

00:02:53I want chicken nuggets.

00:02:54Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.

00:02:55You can't have that every day.

00:02:57It's not healthy for you.

00:02:58But I want that.

00:03:00Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.

00:03:03You suck!

00:03:04I want chicken nuggets!

00:03:05Give me chicken nuggets!

00:03:12I waited.

00:03:14I gave everything I had.

00:03:16But it takes two to make a marriage work.

00:03:17And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with a man that almost ruined her life than me.

00:03:23Enough.

00:03:23Just enough.

00:03:25I want a divorce.

00:03:31I want a divorce.

00:03:36Sabrina, did you hear me?

00:03:38Huh?

00:03:40I want a...

00:03:42I want chicken nuggets!

00:03:44Give me chicken nuggets!

00:03:45Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?

00:03:49Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.

00:03:50We'll get you some real food.

00:03:55Seriously?

00:03:56Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.

00:03:59I mean, it's not that hard.

00:04:01What is this?

00:04:02Another contract?

00:04:04How big is the role?

00:04:05Who's directing?

00:04:07It's not a...

00:04:07Whatever.

00:04:08My mom will look over it anyways.

00:04:09It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.

00:04:12Honestly, I am really at my capacity.

00:04:14I have that red carpet event coming up.

00:04:16And I really need you to pull your weight.

00:04:18Pull my weight?

00:04:20Yeah, you get it.

00:04:20Love you.

00:04:24I devoted myself to this family for 10 long years.

00:04:27If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.

00:04:29Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.

00:04:38The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.

00:04:40We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.

00:04:42I can't.

00:04:43My wife needs me here in L.A.

00:04:44After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.

00:04:51At least there is one good thing to come from this.

00:04:54I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.

00:04:57Hey, mom.

00:04:57How you doing?

00:04:58Oh, good, dear.

00:04:59I just noticed that you transfer more money to my town.

00:05:03Do you need more?

00:05:03No, no, no, no.

00:05:04You've already done so much.

00:05:06I'm just trying to help.

00:05:07I know.

00:05:08But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.

00:05:10I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.

00:05:18I am, mom.

00:05:19And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.

00:05:25That's wonderful, dear.

00:05:26You deserve more than what they put you through.

00:05:29Everyone, come, come, come, quick!

00:05:30I gotta go.

00:05:31Love you.

00:05:34What is it, mom?

00:05:35Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.

00:05:37Our favorite leading man.

00:05:39Come on.

00:05:40Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.

00:05:52Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.

00:05:59All right, cut.

00:06:00That's a wrap, everyone.

00:06:03We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.

00:06:06Sabrina was a rising star.

00:06:08I was just the director's assistant.

00:06:09Our future's ahead of us.

00:06:14If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.

00:06:17You destroyed me.

00:06:43Rest in the blood.

00:06:47Sabrina, don't!

00:06:58Stay back.

00:07:00I mean it.

00:07:02Sabrina, don't do this.

00:07:05Just...

00:07:06Just give me your hand.

00:07:12No!

00:07:19Daniel!

00:07:21I got you.

00:07:22No!

00:07:23Don't let me go!

00:07:25I'm so alone, Daniel.

00:07:32Nobody sees around me.

00:07:34I see you, Sabrina.

00:07:35I see all of you.

00:07:36And you're never gonna be alone again.

00:07:43Good to see ya!

00:07:47Oh my gosh, how long has it been?

00:07:48Oh, too long.

00:07:49What's you?

00:07:50Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.

00:07:53Of course, babe.

00:07:54Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.

00:07:55Are you kidding?

00:07:56Oh, Daniel.

00:07:57Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?

00:08:00Oh, there he is!

00:08:01The assistant!

00:08:02I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.

00:08:05How does someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?

00:08:09Stop!

00:08:10I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.

00:08:15Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having a stale work.

00:08:18Daniel!

00:08:19Oh.

00:08:20Don't embarrass me.

00:08:21No, it's fine.

00:08:22Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?

00:08:25He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough!

00:08:27You fan kiddo?

00:08:28My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.

00:08:30He doesn't let me do anything.

00:08:31Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.

00:08:34What do you say?

00:08:35Huh?

00:08:36Yeah.

00:08:37Serena, I think it's time he leaves.

00:08:39That's fine.

00:08:40That's fine.

00:08:41Just relax, okay?

00:08:43Be nice.

00:08:50Some people never change.

00:08:52But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.

00:08:58Yeah, it's nice.

00:08:59But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.

00:09:08Oh, careful.

00:09:09You alright?

00:09:12I'm still starving.

00:09:13Make me some food.

00:09:14Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.

00:09:16Stew?

00:09:17Ew.

00:09:18What is this, a soup kitchen?

00:09:19I've told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!

00:09:22Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just get him nuggets!

00:09:24I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.

00:09:28Daniel, I'm a billionaire.

00:09:30Okay?

00:09:31For real?

00:09:32Yeah!

00:09:33My makeup line took me all the way to the top!

00:09:36Donovan Cosmetics!

00:09:37I'm rich!

00:09:39Which means, we don't have to be grateful.

00:09:42I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.

00:09:45See, Dino, that was always your problem.

00:09:46You're so caught up on the morals.

00:09:48You realize that's why no one bought your scripts, they were so dull.

00:09:51Please, Mr. Eastwood, my cat won't let me have anything!

00:09:53Lucky for you, Uncle Preston, it's a little bit of a rebel.

00:09:57So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?

00:10:00My treat.

00:10:02Here we go.

00:10:03What?

00:10:04Oh, you don't have to do that.

00:10:05I don't mind.

00:10:06All of you insist.

00:10:07I mean, I'm already dressed, so...

00:10:10Okay.

00:10:11Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so...

00:10:15Anyways!

00:10:16Come on, baby, let's go!

00:10:18That's great.

00:10:19There we go.

00:10:20Oh!

00:10:21There's...

00:10:22Paps.

00:10:23You don't have to come, Daniel.

00:10:24Last time.

00:10:25I promise.

00:10:26You're right.

00:10:28It is the last time.

00:10:30Guys.

00:10:31Hi!

00:10:32Jackson.

00:10:33Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?

00:10:38I'm not fine.

00:10:39It's over.

00:10:40Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?

00:10:42I hope you're ready to go.

00:10:43I'm not fine.

00:10:44It's over.

00:10:45Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?

00:10:48I hope you're ready to go.

00:10:49Without a penny to your name.

00:10:50Is it ten years of heartbreak?

00:10:51I don't care if I walk away with nothing.

00:10:52Why would Celeste invite me here?

00:10:54She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.

00:10:55Sabrina Donovan?

00:10:56I could scream.

00:10:57I'm literally obsessed with you.

00:10:58Preston Eastwood.

00:10:59I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking Ice.

00:11:00Oh, gee.

00:11:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.

00:11:02The scene that I wrote.

00:11:03Uncredited, of course.

00:11:04Even my success is shadowed by her fame.

00:11:05Wait.

00:11:06Are you two dating?

00:11:07Oh, well actually.

00:11:08I was totally dating.

00:11:09I'm not just dating.

00:11:10I used to always play that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.

00:11:12The scene that I wrote.

00:11:13Uncredited, of course.

00:11:14Even my success is shadowed by her fame.

00:11:23Oh, gee, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.

00:11:26The scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course. Even my success is shadowed by her fame.

00:11:30Wait, are you two dating?

00:11:32Oh, well, actually, I totally date.

00:11:34All these years, I couldn't even be seen when they're in public.

00:11:41Do you mind just giving me a little space? They're not really a part of my brand.

00:11:45Your brand?

00:11:46It's just, it's not a good look for me. You get it, right?

00:11:53So, you two are a thing?

00:11:57Well, I...

00:11:58Oh, it's okay, babe. We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.

00:12:08This is so going viral. I can't believe you guys are dating.

00:12:11That looks like more than dating. Is this your son?

00:12:14I wish I was his son, Jackson.

00:12:16Don't be silly. You have a dad, and he's a sissy.

00:12:19That's what all the boys at school say.

00:12:21He does girly stuff like cook and clean.

00:12:24But Preston is awesome.

00:12:26He's an action spy. I wish he was my dad.

00:12:30My own son doesn't respect me.

00:12:32But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after-party with a call girl.

00:12:37It's okay, buddy. Every spy is a partner in crime.

00:12:40If you want me around, I'm in.

00:12:42That is if mom's school with it.

00:12:44Oh, Preston, I don't know. Daniel, he, you know, he's...

00:12:47Preston, what are you doing?

00:12:49Come on. Let's get Michelle.

00:12:52Now that's a Hollywood couple.

00:13:07I told you this divorce was a mistake. Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.

00:13:14Daniel!

00:13:17You know, it's probably for the best.

00:13:20From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.

00:13:23Daniel, he's here. Did he see us? Is he looking over here?

00:13:26Fuck, that's not good. I was just doing it for Felicia. It didn't mean for him to see us.

00:13:30Actually, it was perfect timing. Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.

00:13:35Who cares about him, mommy? Now you can be with Mr. Preston.

00:13:38Jackson, enough.

00:13:40What do I do?

00:13:41Well, that's it then. Now I need to handle Sabrina.

00:13:44I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.

00:13:47I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you. You're really good at that.

00:13:51Oh, I have a parting gift for you. A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.

00:13:59I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans, I will come after you with everything I got.

00:14:06Daniel loves me. He has to understand. This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.

00:14:11Daniel, I can explain.

00:14:17Daniel, what is this?

00:14:21I can't let her create a public scene. All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.

00:14:25Are you going somewhere?

00:14:27Funny. Oh, what a coincidence. We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation. Isn't that right, Daniel?

00:14:33A vacation?

00:14:34Final. You're paying attention.

00:14:37Yeah. I'm going to leave in a few days.

00:14:39Well, thanks for telling your wife. What are we supposed to do without you?

00:14:42Without me cooking and cleaning?

00:14:43That's not what I meant.

00:14:44Whoa. Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.

00:14:47That's fine. Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit. Just like any good husband would.

00:14:52Oh, I see. Is it me? Is my presence hurting your ego?

00:14:56I wouldn't put jealousy past him.

00:14:57I always knew you were the self-loathing type. You know what? Maybe I should go. I don't want to get between the two of you.

00:15:02No, please, Faye. I want you to live with us forever and ever.

00:15:06No, you know what? I'll go. And clearly she wants you. Going to dance this soon.

00:15:11Daniel, wait.

00:15:13I won't ever let you go.

00:15:14He won't leave. He promised. It doesn't have to be like this. We can pull up a chair and we can...

00:15:21I'm going to go back.

00:15:24Daniel!

00:15:25Daniel!

00:15:28Please.

00:15:29Better than yours.

00:15:31Yeah.

00:15:33Oh!

00:15:35Oh, good. You're up.

00:15:37Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.

00:15:41It's fun.

00:15:43Don't look at me like that. I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.

00:15:45Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.

00:15:49How lucky for him. He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.

00:15:53Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.

00:15:56Well, listen, man. I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened. You can trust me.

00:16:03Preston, I think you're too drunk. You need to lay out.

00:16:06All right.

00:16:08All right.

00:16:10Daniel, seriously, listen, man. When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.

00:16:16I'm going to be the best man of the house.

00:16:19Just ignore him. He doesn't know what he's saying.

00:16:21No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.

00:16:24Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.

00:16:26Jealous?

00:16:28My God, you still don't get it, do you?

00:16:31I'm going to bed.

00:16:32You know, I don't think I should be alone.

00:16:40That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.

00:16:45Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?

00:16:49Oh, my God.

00:16:51God, you're unbelievable.

00:16:55Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?

00:16:58No, it's not like that. I...

00:17:00I...

00:17:01What?

00:17:03You know what, Mike?

00:17:06You two look great together.

00:17:07Daniel, I...

00:17:18I meant to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.

00:17:21Um...

00:17:27I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.

00:17:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.

00:17:34I was never the homemaker.

00:17:38Please, Daniel.

00:17:39Please, Daniel.

00:17:49I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.

00:17:56Pearson, can you go in the other room?

00:17:57I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.

00:18:00Look at her now. Playing house for another man.

00:18:13If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.

00:18:16There he is.

00:18:18God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.

00:18:21Man.

00:18:22No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.

00:18:24Life of me, Lister, I guess.

00:18:25Hmm.

00:18:26Hmm.

00:18:27Hmm.

00:18:29Hmm.

00:18:31Hmm.

00:18:32I got some.

00:18:33Oh, oh.

00:18:34Yeah, here you go.

00:18:35I don't need some of this shit, but...

00:18:36I know you'll like it.

00:18:37Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.

00:18:38I'm looking up for a new Marvel movie.

00:18:41Hey, uh...

00:18:42You're not pissed off that your wife ended up taking care of me last night, right?

00:18:58No.

00:18:59A grown man that needs a babysitter?

00:19:02Why would I be threatened by that?

00:19:06It's finally time to make this hack disappear.

00:19:12What's wrong, Gus?

00:19:17What's wrong, Gus?

00:19:18Mr. Eastwood!

00:19:19I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!

00:19:22And it's unfair!

00:19:23That's a shame, huh?

00:19:24You know what?

00:19:25Let me grab it for you, little man.

00:19:26Here we go.

00:19:27Ooh!

00:19:29Yo, it's...

00:19:30not to play with that.

00:19:32You never let me do anything!

00:19:35Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.

00:19:37You guys can afford an aquarium.

00:19:38I'm not funny about the money.

00:19:39It's about him learning how to respect living things.

00:19:41Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...

00:19:44bad examples.

00:19:45Yeah?

00:19:46What's that supposed to mean?

00:19:48You're so annoying!

00:19:50Don't...

00:19:51push.

00:19:55What is that don't push?

00:19:56Go get a book or something.

00:19:57Why don't you get your hands off him?

00:19:58He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.

00:20:01That's just something.

00:20:03Call it a lesson.

00:20:04I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.

00:20:05He's not your kid.

00:20:06I wish I was!

00:20:07I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever!

00:20:09I hate seeing your stupid face!

00:20:10Ouch!

00:20:11I mean, you just hurt your son.

00:20:12So why don't you make this a little vacay of yours?

00:20:14Maybe it will be.

00:20:15But until then, I'm still the man of the house.

00:20:16You?

00:20:17You?

00:20:18Man of the house?

00:20:19Please.

00:20:20You're a pussy and an apron.

00:20:21I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden,

00:20:22much less a dad or a husband.

00:20:23You're watched a pack!

00:20:24Still writing on all your old headlines.

00:20:25How are your latest box office numbers, huh?

00:20:26I heard your agents begging for scraps.

00:20:27I'm gonna come up with a star!

00:20:28A star?

00:20:29A star that needs his ex to bring it back into the spotlight.

00:20:31Jackson, come on.

00:20:32I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.

00:20:33No, I'm not going!

00:20:34Preston's way cooler than you!

00:20:35Preston!

00:20:36Preston!

00:20:37Preston!

00:20:38Preston!

00:20:39I'm gonna come up with a star!

00:20:40A star?

00:20:41A star that needs his ex to bring it back into the spotlight.

00:20:43Jackson, come on.

00:20:44I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.

00:20:45No, I'm not going!

00:20:46Preston's way cooler than you!

00:20:48Preston!

00:20:49Preston!

00:20:50Preston!

00:20:51Preston!

00:21:03You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable on Hollywood.

00:21:12What was that?

00:21:14Yes.

00:21:15Yo!

00:21:18Daniel!

00:21:19What is happening?

00:21:20It was Dad, Mom!

00:21:21Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!

00:21:23You're so scared!

00:21:24You got it pretty good, babe.

00:21:25What the hell, Daniel?

00:21:27I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.

00:21:28I came in looking for a fight.

00:21:29What?

00:21:30I didn't.

00:21:31What the hell is wrong with you?

00:21:32You're acting like a jealous child!

00:21:34I thought you were bigger than this petty shit!

00:21:36He threw a fish tank at me!

00:21:37It's just a fucking fish tank!

00:21:38Bro, I'm up!

00:21:39Remember where in the public eye?

00:21:41What if your little outburst was caught by the press?

00:21:43What?

00:21:44Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?

00:21:46Maybe I should call the emissary.

00:21:48No!

00:21:49Oh my God!

00:21:50He's lying!

00:21:52You're a monster!

00:21:53And in front of your son?

00:21:55You have to be kidding!

00:21:56We have to get you to the hospital.

00:21:58We'll talk about this when I get home.

00:22:00Come on.

00:22:01Clean us up!

00:22:02Soon, we won't be coming home to me ever again.

00:22:06Huh.

00:22:07She's mine now, loser.

00:22:09Hello?

00:22:10Anyone?

00:22:11What is your emergency?

00:22:12No, you're not.

00:22:13I think I already...

00:22:14I need an ambulance now.

00:22:15Now!

00:22:16You did lose a lot of blood.

00:22:17So we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.

00:22:19To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.

00:22:21Trouble with the missus?

00:22:22Uh, yeah.

00:22:23Pretty obvious.

00:22:24Most married folks that come in here are miserable.

00:22:25I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.

00:22:26With Preston Eastwood.

00:22:27True love story.

00:22:28Holding hands with me.

00:22:29You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you

00:22:32with liquid.

00:22:33To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.

00:22:34Trouble with the missus?

00:22:35Uh, yeah.

00:22:36Pretty obvious.

00:22:37Most married folks that come in here are miserable.

00:22:38I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.

00:22:52With Preston Eastwood.

00:22:53True love story.

00:22:54Holding hands.

00:22:55Wiping tears.

00:22:56I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.

00:22:58You said, um, couple?

00:23:00I wasn't sure.

00:23:01But I checked the visitation logs and it's official.

00:23:05She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.

00:23:08She was so sweet.

00:23:13Need us to check on that shoulder for you?

00:23:15No, it's...

00:23:17It's a wound.

00:23:19I tore it, actually. I'm ten years old.

00:23:22Daniel!

00:23:23Sweet and caring.

00:23:25So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.

00:23:28He only had to break her heart to get it.

00:23:30And left me to pick up the pieces.

00:23:35Fuck it.

00:23:38Never came out shit and go.

00:23:41Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.

00:23:43You once liked my short film.

00:23:44I have a script I've been sitting on.

00:23:52It needs the right producer.

00:23:54I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.

00:23:58Where have you been?

00:23:59I kept calling.

00:24:00I started to feel like one of my stalkers.

00:24:03Huh?

00:24:05What? I've been busy.

00:24:07I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.

00:24:10Seriously?

00:24:11Why does it always have to come back to him?

00:24:13I told you.

00:24:13He's just a friend.

00:24:16Yeah.

00:24:17That's what you want to call it?

00:24:19I...

00:24:19I just...

00:24:21I'm sorry.

00:24:22I...

00:24:22Bringing Preston into our home is probably crossing the line.

00:24:25It is what it is.

00:24:30But I mean, you know how the industry works.

00:24:33You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.

00:24:37And I think you should go for it.

00:24:38I mean, you always do what's best for your career.

00:24:41But I just...

00:24:42I don't want you to be upset with me.

00:24:44Seriously.

00:24:47I...

00:24:48I care about you.

00:24:52I'm not mad.

00:24:54I've known you for 14 years.

00:24:56I know when you're angry.

00:24:57Really?

00:24:57I didn't think you paid attention.

00:24:59I pay attention.

00:25:01Since when do I not pay attention?

00:25:03She signed the papers without reading them.

00:25:06That's all this marriage ever wants to her.

00:25:07A headline.

00:25:08A performance.

00:25:10Sabrina.

00:25:14You know what?

00:25:16I hate fighting.

00:25:17So let's just forget about this, okay?

00:25:20I was thinking we could revisit your script.

00:25:25I gave that to you three years ago.

00:25:27You're telling me you finally read it?

00:25:29Well, yeah.

00:25:30The first ten pages, but they're good.

00:25:33The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.

00:25:35I mean, we have to do this.

00:25:36Me and you.

00:25:37The lead actress and the writer-director.

00:25:40I gave up on that dream of us working together.

00:25:44A long time ago.

00:25:46Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves

00:25:50into the script.

00:25:51Just like we used to do in film school.

00:25:54There was a time when this would have worked on me.

00:25:56I would have melted in her hands.

00:25:59Now I just want to pack and get out of here.

00:26:00I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it

00:26:17was awful.

00:26:20I've had a lot of experience making it for you.

00:26:21I'll be sure to tell him how you liked it.

00:26:22That's not what I meant.

00:26:25I like it when you make it.

00:26:26I'm not going to always be here to make it.

00:26:31I knew it.

00:26:33You are mad that I brought Preston back here.

00:26:35I told you it was just a publicity stunt.

00:26:38God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.

00:26:42Married people are fucking boring.

00:26:45It's good to know where you stand.

00:26:46No, Daniel.

00:26:47No, that's not what I meant.

00:26:48Look what you made me do.

00:26:57Just leave it.

00:26:58I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.

00:27:01And what?

00:27:02It would make up for all the years of indifference?

00:27:04I'm just trying to do something nice.

00:27:06And look what I get for it.

00:27:07You know what?

00:27:08Forget it.

00:27:09I heard from you.

00:27:10I'll just talk about this tomorrow.

00:27:18What?

00:27:24Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?

00:27:26Yeah, ex-mother-in-law.

00:27:27Not quite.

00:27:28That was the divorce contract.

00:27:29But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize our entertainment contract and our family's F.E.A.

00:27:33This is Shilvis, baby.

00:27:35Remember that.

00:27:35I'll text you the address of where's me?

00:27:37I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.

00:27:50Oh, please.

00:27:51She's always been so secretive.

00:27:53I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?

00:27:56Maybe she's embarrassed by him.

00:27:58I read somewhere that he was just the road writer's assistant.

00:28:03Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.

00:28:05Come here.

00:28:06Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.

00:28:12Do you know where she is or who she's with?

00:28:15She's with Mr. Eastwood.

00:28:16He's been staying with us.

00:28:18Really?

00:28:19Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?

00:28:22Oh, I hope so.

00:28:23I really hope so.

00:28:23He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.

00:28:26Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.

00:28:29Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.

00:28:32What are you doing here?

00:28:38You never come to these things.

00:28:40Well, that's gotta be the husband.

00:28:42Get lost.

00:28:43You embarrass us.

00:28:44Jackson, do not talk to me like that.

00:28:46I'm your father.

00:28:47I wish you never were my dad.

00:28:48Is there a problem?

00:28:56Oh, my God.

00:28:57It's Preston Eastwood.

00:28:58How could Sabrina choose this flat over Preston?

00:29:01If there was a problem, that's none of your business.

00:29:03I wish Preston was my dad.

00:29:05You're a pathetic loser.

00:29:06Zip it, Jackson.

00:29:08You should probably listen to your kid and head out because you're starting to make a scene.

00:29:12I'm just here to talk to Celeste.

00:29:13That's not what I see.

00:29:15You showed up uninvited in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.

00:29:22That's the kind of story the press would devour.

00:29:24It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.

00:29:26And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.

00:29:30This was all stunt, was it?

00:29:32You were revolting.

00:29:33No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.

00:29:35But hey, why don't you watch her now?

00:29:39Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.

00:29:42Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson.

00:29:44Oh, yeah?

00:29:44What lesson's that, Preston?

00:29:45You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?

00:29:49Hmm.

00:29:53Oh!

00:30:05What the hell?

00:30:09What happened?

00:30:10Oh my god, Daniel!

00:30:13What the hell happened?

00:30:14Daniel, you're bleeding.

00:30:15Are you okay?

00:30:17Look at her go.

00:30:18Hollywood's finest.

00:30:19Always performing when there's an audience.

00:30:22It's Daniel.

00:30:23He's a monster.

00:30:24He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.

00:30:26Mommy!

00:30:27Dad came in here and started shouting at me!

00:30:29Oh, no.

00:30:30No, that's not true.

00:30:31If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.

00:30:36Can you imagine the allegations?

00:30:38Daniel, is that true?

00:30:42Sabrina.

00:30:44Oh!

00:30:46Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.

00:30:47I think one of them is broken.

00:30:50Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.

00:30:54But Daniel!

00:30:57Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.

00:31:09Mommy, please!

00:31:10We can't leave him!

00:31:11I have to help Preston.

00:31:17Come on, Jackson.

00:31:32Daniel!

00:31:33I got you.

00:31:34Don't let me go!

00:31:36She's made her choice.

00:31:37There's no going back.

00:31:38We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.

00:31:47Well, that went even better than I planned.

00:31:53Now we can make a clean break.

00:31:55I wasn't waiting for your permission.

00:31:57There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.

00:32:01Get out of Hollywood.

00:32:02In fact, get out of the country.

00:32:05If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,

00:32:08I will make your life a living hell.

00:32:10Don't worry about it.

00:32:22Just try.

00:32:33I used to ache for her approval.

00:32:36Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.

00:32:40Seriously?

00:32:42I'll sleep on.

00:32:43I know.

00:32:43I see.

00:32:44Yeah.

00:32:44Ugh.

00:32:45I'm going to call the doctor, okay?

00:32:48What are you doing?

00:32:49I thought you were hurt.

00:32:51I think I'll pull through.

00:32:57Preston, what are you doing?

00:32:59I've always wanted to.

00:33:01Come on.

00:33:01I know you want this.

00:33:02I see the way you look at me.

00:33:04Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourselves.

00:33:07I can finally have you in this bedroom.

00:33:09What am I doing?

00:33:18Daniel is still injured.

00:33:20He should be home.

00:33:23Sabrina?

00:33:32Preston, get off.

00:33:35What?

00:33:35Hey, we can finally...

00:33:37I said get off.

00:33:38Come on.

00:33:39I need to go take care of Daniel.

00:33:40No, forget about him.

00:33:42Look, I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.

00:33:46I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.

00:33:49I mean, come on.

00:33:50Sabrina, your son, your mother.

00:33:52Even Daniel is pushing us together.

00:33:54What?

00:33:55Look, he's already moved on.

00:33:57No, what have I done?

00:34:02Where is he?

00:34:03What about me?

00:34:04You had a chance ten years ago.

00:34:06I need to go take care of my husband.

00:34:13Hello?

00:34:14Excuse me.

00:34:16Excuse me.

00:34:17Hi.

00:34:17Have you seen my husband?

00:34:19Please, he was someone bleeding out.

00:34:21Uh, I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.

00:34:24He didn't come back in, though.

00:34:29God, Daniel, where are you?

00:34:31I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.

00:34:34Please try again.

00:34:36I've been done.

00:34:45Come on, Daniel.

00:34:47Answer me.

00:34:49He's not gone.

00:34:54I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.

00:35:02He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.

00:35:06No.

00:35:08It's not possible.

00:35:10He will be back.

00:35:13No.

00:35:18Answer me.

00:35:19Boy, it's all that sets.

00:35:24I'm Zero, Castillo, Jackson.

00:35:26The waves all spousal support.

00:35:29No.

00:35:29No, he can't leave me.

00:35:31He can't do this to me.

00:35:32I won't sign off on him.

00:35:42No.

00:35:43All this time, he was going to leave me?

00:35:46It can't be.

00:35:59It can't be.

00:36:01It's not her.

00:36:02Honestly, it doesn't matter.

00:36:03My mom will look it over anyways.

00:36:04He loves me.

00:36:06He loves Jackson.

00:36:08He wouldn't just leave us.

00:36:10We're his family.

00:36:10And after all these years, everything we've been through.

00:36:14I got you.

00:36:33He'll let me go.

00:36:35Is he ever really paying attention?

00:36:40Daniel?

00:36:41No, it's Mom.

00:36:42Is everything okay?

00:36:43You sound good.

00:36:44Mom.

00:36:46Mom.

00:36:47Daniel.

00:36:48He just left us.

00:36:50Do you know where he is?

00:36:53I'll have to find him.

00:36:54We can check the hospital or the...

00:36:55Oh, honey.

00:36:57It's over.

00:36:58Daniel's not coming back.

00:37:00You knew?

00:37:01I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.

00:37:10I'm hungry!

00:37:12Dad!

00:37:13Breakfast should be ready by now.

00:37:15Jackson?

00:37:18I have something to tell you.

00:37:19Your dad.

00:37:23Your dad.

00:37:25He's left us.

00:37:27I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.

00:37:29Yay!

00:37:29He's gone!

00:37:30He's gone!

00:37:31Why would you say that?

00:37:33It was so embarrassing.

00:37:34Even Mr. Eastwood...

00:37:35Mr. Eastwood?

00:37:36What did Preston say?

00:37:38He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.

00:37:44He was so lame and boring.

00:37:46Now he's gone.

00:37:47Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.

00:37:49He can be my new dad.

00:37:51Jackson, you have a dad.

00:37:53And he's cared for you for seven years.

00:37:55Yeah, but I hate him!

00:37:56Hello?

00:38:02Do you have any news about Daniel?

00:38:04Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.

00:38:06I noticed a few unusual transfers.

00:38:07I'm sorry, I don't have the time.

00:38:09Large thumbs have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.

00:38:12Was that done with your approval?

00:38:13No, but I'm not surprised.

00:38:15Flag his name.

00:38:17I want him frozen and cut off.

00:38:20Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.

00:38:23Okay?

00:38:24He's not the man you think he is.

00:38:25Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.

00:38:28And we need to find him at all costs.

00:38:30What kind of coward abandons his family, huh?

00:38:34It's despicable.

00:38:36I can't do this anymore.

00:38:38Cancel everything.

00:38:39The interviews, the red carpets.

00:38:41I don't want to be seen.

00:38:43I can't pretend.

00:38:45I just want him back.

00:38:46Oh, honey.

00:38:48It's time to let him go.

00:38:50You don't love him anyway.

00:38:52Think about what Preston would do for your career.

00:38:54What?

00:38:58How could you say something like that?

00:39:00Of course I love Daniel.

00:39:02He cares for me.

00:39:03He sees me.

00:39:04He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.

00:39:08But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.

00:39:10Daniel's my husband.

00:39:12And the father of my son.

00:39:13Yeah, some husband.

00:39:15Abandoning you without a moment's notice.

00:39:16Wanting nothing to do with his child just because of a contract ended.

00:39:19Contract?

00:39:20What contract?

00:39:24What are you talking about?

00:39:27Forget it.

00:39:28Forget it.

00:39:29Just pretend I didn't say anything.

00:39:30When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.

00:39:35Is there something you're not telling me?

00:39:37Please.

00:39:37I just want the truth.

00:39:39Ma.

00:39:40Fine.

00:39:42I will tell you the truth.

00:39:43But promise me you won't get mad.

00:39:47I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.

00:39:50But no, it was all for your own good.

00:39:54When Preston left you, you were distraught.

00:39:58I had to save you.

00:40:00She's lost without you, Daniel.

00:40:02You've always been there for her.

00:40:04From film school to now.

00:40:06I've seen it.

00:40:07She needs you.

00:40:08Stay.

00:40:09Marry her.

00:40:10Love her.

00:40:11So that she's never alone again.

00:40:13It was all just some sort of obligation?

00:40:21How could you do this to me?

00:40:23I wanted to protect you.

00:40:24You wanted to control me.

00:40:26All because you needed me for my career and my money.

00:40:28Well, it worked, didn't it?

00:40:30You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.

00:40:37Daniel did what he was meant to do.

00:40:38He kept you together.

00:40:40Where?

00:40:41Where did he go?

00:40:42I know he told you where he went.

00:40:44Where is he?

00:40:45You can do better than him.

00:40:46You are Sabrina Donovan.

00:40:48Hollywood starlet.

00:40:50Believe me, it's for the best.

00:40:52No.

00:40:52He can't be gone.

00:40:53He can't.

00:40:54Yes, he is gone, and he is gone forever.

00:40:57He can't be.

00:40:58He can't be gone again.

00:41:16I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame the Silver Box.

00:41:20That's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer, The Raptor.

00:41:25Speaking of which, there he is now.

00:41:26Mr. Daniel Johnson.

00:41:30Daniel, your film received a calm duel at the Cannes Film Festival.

00:41:33What's going through your head tonight?

00:41:35Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own sheet.

00:41:38Nobody told me how.

00:41:39Oh, man.

00:41:40How uncomfortable these shoes would be.

00:41:42I've heard this talk in a sequel.

00:41:44Yeah.

00:41:45My career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest about it, actually.

00:41:49I almost gave up the dream.

00:41:51But London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I found my voice, and it really

00:41:56is full steam ahead.

00:41:58Speaking of London, since you're an American writer's director, will you be making your way

00:42:01back to Hollywood?

00:42:04Hollywood.

00:42:05Get out of the country.

00:42:07If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life

00:42:12a living hell.

00:42:15Daniel?

00:42:15He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.

00:42:30Daniel is a true author and a pretty genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.

00:42:36That's not a life compliment coming from Emily Blake, a two-time Golding Global Award-winning

00:42:40actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

00:42:43Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.

00:42:46We'll never tell.

00:42:50Oh, my God.

00:42:50Thanks for saying that.

00:42:52She was practically eye-fucking you.

00:42:53I know.

00:42:54This is so surreal.

00:42:56I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.

00:42:57I can.

00:42:58The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.

00:43:02Daniel, enjoy this.

00:43:04And get used to compliments.

00:43:07There's already Oscar buzz.

00:43:09Fuck.

00:43:09I'm finished behind it.

00:43:10I thought I'm dreaming.

00:43:13You okay?

00:43:14You always do that when you're nervous.

00:43:16It's, um, I'll have it.

00:43:19Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.

00:43:22Some of us just got a head start.

00:43:23Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning

00:43:44bitch.

00:43:45You can't do this to me.

00:43:48Sabrina.

00:43:49You don't need him.

00:43:50Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.

00:43:51How can you move on to that uptight British bitch?

00:43:54Move on?

00:43:55Please, honey.

00:43:56He is using her.

00:43:58Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?

00:44:00He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.

00:44:02How could you say that?

00:44:04I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.

00:44:07He's proving that to the whole world.

00:44:09Don't you see it?

00:44:10Sabrina.

00:44:11Look at what you've got.

00:44:12A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.

00:44:17Melanie's not whining.

00:44:18And don't forget about Preston.

00:44:20You're a dream man.

00:44:21You have everything.

00:44:23I don't have him.

00:44:25Mom, I'm hungry.

00:44:26Go have the chef make something.

00:44:28No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.

00:44:30Why can't you just hire Daniel back?

00:44:32Don't talk about him like that.

00:44:34He's your dad.

00:44:35No, Preston is my real dad now.

00:44:37Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.

00:44:39It was fun telling him what to do.

00:44:41When did he get so cruel?

00:44:43You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.

00:44:46A doormat.

00:44:48Daniel's a doormat.

00:44:49Daniel's a doormat.

00:44:50Enough, you little shit.

00:44:54Enough, just enough.

00:44:56Sabrina, what's gotten into you?

00:44:58Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.

00:45:01Whoa.

00:45:02What's going on in here?

00:45:03This room feels really tense.

00:45:05Mom just yelled at me for no reason.

00:45:07I was just making fun of Daniel.

00:45:08No.

00:45:09I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.

00:45:11And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.

00:45:14It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.

00:45:19Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?

00:45:22Making fun of that fucking loser early?

00:45:24Loser?

00:45:25Yeah.

00:45:25You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.

00:45:28And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.

00:45:36That's really, really low.

00:45:37Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.

00:45:42Come on, we're America's power couple.

00:45:44To be a power couple, you both have to have power.

00:45:46Face it, Preston.

00:45:47You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.

00:45:50And you're a fucking thief.

00:45:52Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.

00:45:54You've been stealing from me all year long.

00:45:56I could have you arrested, but I haven't.

00:45:58Because you know what?

00:45:59Honestly, I pity you.

00:46:00It's not like that, okay?

00:46:02Look, I was just merging things like couples do.

00:46:05If I want to marry you, we're legacy.

00:46:06Hollywood fucking royalty.

00:46:07What's my birthday?

00:46:09Huh?

00:46:10What kind of flowers do I like?

00:46:11What's my favorite color?

00:46:12My favorite song?

00:46:13Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?

00:46:15Oh, oh wait.

00:46:16What's my fucking middle name?

00:46:18You don't give a shit about me.

00:46:20You don't love me.

00:46:21You don't even know me.

00:46:23This isn't a relationship.

00:46:25This is a publicity stunt.

00:46:27And you know what?

00:46:27I'm done.

00:46:28Get out.

00:46:29I don't want to ever see you again.

00:46:31We're over.

00:46:33We're over.

00:46:34Hey, Dave, come on.

00:46:35Please, please, I love you.

00:46:36Just think about it.

00:46:38Look at the press.

00:46:39What this will look like.

00:46:40If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.

00:46:43Get out.

00:46:44Now.

00:46:45Just give me your hand.

00:46:46Come on.

00:46:46No.

00:46:47I'm so alone, Daniel.

00:46:50Nobody sees around me.

00:46:51I see you, Sabrina.

00:46:53I see all of you.

00:46:55And you're never going to be alone again.

00:46:57He truly knew me.

00:47:00He loved me.

00:47:02Every flaw.

00:47:03Every fear.

00:47:04Contract or not.

00:47:05He truly loved me.

00:47:08I saved you from social suicide.

00:47:09Saved me?

00:47:11I mean, you don't even know how ironic that is.

00:47:13Daniel saved me from the ledge.

00:47:15And he saved me from you.

00:47:18Security!

00:47:20Security!

00:47:21Come on.

00:47:21Just let's talk.

00:47:22No.

00:47:23Come on.

00:47:24Celeste, do something.

00:47:25Come on.

00:47:25Sabrina!

00:47:26Come on, Sabrina!

00:47:27Sabrina!

00:47:28Was that really necessary?

00:47:29I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.

00:47:33Is that all you care about?

00:47:34The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?

00:47:37God!

00:47:38You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.

00:47:42Sabrina, you are being dramatic.

00:47:44Of course I care about you.

00:47:46I love you.

00:47:48Then prove it.

00:47:49If you ever want me to front up a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.

00:47:53You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.

00:48:05I'm kind of in shock right now.

00:48:07In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.

00:48:12I mean, you know this.

00:48:13You're a legend.

00:48:14I appreciate it, Daniel.

00:48:15All right, let me cut to the chase.

00:48:16You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.

00:48:19I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm feeling all right.

00:48:20I got a project.

00:48:21Come on.

00:48:22You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets

00:48:25made in L.A., not London.

00:48:27That's where you belong.

00:48:28To be honest, I already did L.A.

00:48:31Didn't really end well.

00:48:32Let me guess.

00:48:33My girl?

00:48:33If I, a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.

00:48:38You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.

00:48:40You can become a household name, and I can get you there.

00:48:44You're giving me a lot to think about.

00:48:45Three-picture deal.

00:48:46$200 million budget each.

00:48:47Creative control and final cut approval.

00:48:49I don't know what to say.

00:48:50Just say yes.

00:48:51You have my number.

00:48:52Just don't keep me waiting.

00:48:54Just remember, Daniel, you can't run away from the past.

00:48:56You have to face it and tell the fuck off.

00:49:07Hey, it's been a while.

00:49:10Can we talk?

00:49:12Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?

00:49:15Of course.

00:49:15It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.

00:49:20Is this a personal story?

00:49:21Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?

00:49:24Oh, she knows who she is.

00:49:27Um, I'll leave it at that.

00:49:31You arrogant little shit.

00:49:33I told you if you ever sat in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.

00:49:41It's Les Donovan.

00:49:42I need a favor.

00:49:43I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.

00:49:47It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.

00:49:52Mom, what are you doing?

00:49:56Did you just break my TV?

00:49:58Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?

00:50:01You don't know what I'm supposed to do that.

00:50:03You've been so kind of, um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.

00:50:06He's back.

00:50:10Why didn't you tell me?

00:50:11Honey, I don't want you spiraling again.

00:50:14I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.

00:50:16I need to get on that movie.

00:50:17Absolutely not.

00:50:19You're not working for your ex-husband.

00:50:20If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.

00:50:23Oh, honey, I'm just looking out for you.

00:50:25He still loves me.

00:50:27He has to.

00:50:29I just need to talk to him.

00:50:31Let him go.

00:50:34Mom.

00:50:36Honey, I...

00:50:37You know I just want what's best for you, right?

00:50:40I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.

00:50:44I love you.

00:50:46I love you, too.

00:50:49Here we go.

00:50:51This is, um, it's another movie deal.

00:50:53I'll tell you about it after.

00:50:54Did you get his location?

00:51:09The Oaks.

00:51:108 p.m.

00:51:11After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.

00:51:15He'll be erased from Supreme's life forever.

00:51:17She's not protecting me.

00:51:26She's protecting her business.

00:51:28I'm just a pawn.

00:51:29But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.

00:51:32It's so nice having you back.

00:51:35And I don't just mean from the UK.

00:51:37Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?

00:51:38A couple?

00:51:40Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people, if you can even call them

00:51:44that.

00:51:44But you're healthy now.

00:51:45And I'm at the top of my career.

00:51:47I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make

00:51:51it work, the marriage, the kids.

00:51:53I mean, we really tried.

00:51:54I thought I could make it go for it, but it's over.

00:51:59It's over.

00:51:59I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks is pressing.

00:52:02He's switching off her.

00:52:09Oh, you haven't heard?

00:52:12She dumped him.

00:52:13It was all over People magazine.

00:52:14She ended it when his star faded.

00:52:17Oh, my God.

00:52:18What?

00:52:21Daniel.

00:52:26Stop.

00:52:33Sabrina, what are you doing here?

00:52:34I'm here to help you.

00:52:36Sabrina, you're making a scene.

00:52:38Let's go home.

00:52:39Sabrina.

00:52:40How could you?

00:52:40What?

00:52:41I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.

00:52:44I begged and pleaded.

00:52:45Stop lying.

00:52:46I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.

00:52:49And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruined

00:52:54him.

00:52:54My God.

00:52:55You're disgusting.

00:52:56I'm a manager, Daniel.

00:52:58Not anymore.

00:52:59Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?

00:53:03I don't even know who you are anymore.

00:53:06I'm your mother.

00:53:07I only want what's best for you.

00:53:09What's best for me?

00:53:11You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.

00:53:16That all ends today.

00:53:20You're fired.

00:53:22Fired.

00:53:24No.

00:53:26No.

00:53:27You can't do this to me.

00:53:33Please.

00:53:33Please, sweetie.

00:53:34I have dedicated my life to you.

00:53:35You dedicated your life to money and to fame.

00:53:39I was just who you used to get to it.

00:53:41You think you can survive on sheer talent?

00:53:44There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.

00:53:47I made you.

00:53:48You'd be nothing without me.

00:53:49I think she'll do just fine.

00:53:58We're done here, Mom.

00:54:00If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.

00:54:06Without another word.

00:54:15I have something to say.

00:54:19I'm sorry, Daniel.

00:54:21I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.

00:54:24I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.

00:54:28I'm sorry I brought Cresson into our home and poisoned our son towards you.

00:54:35Apologize to your father.

00:54:37Do I have to?

00:54:38Who raised you?

00:54:41Cared for you?

00:54:43Packed your lunches when I was on set?

00:54:45Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?

00:54:48He did.

00:54:50He loved you.

00:54:51But you treated him like he was nothing.

00:54:53I was wrong.

00:54:54Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.

00:54:58And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.

00:55:02I'm sorry, Dad.

00:55:05It's going to be okay, son.

00:55:07I love you.

00:55:08Okay.

00:55:09Come on, Jackson.

00:55:10Let's go.

00:55:10Come on.

00:55:11Come on.

00:55:16I'm sorry, Daniel.

00:55:17I know that look, Daniel.

00:55:28You're thinking of going back to them.

00:55:32I just didn't know it would be this hard.

00:55:34They hurt you, Daniel.

00:55:37They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.

00:55:40People can change, but that doesn't change the past.

00:55:49And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.

00:55:56Daniel!

00:55:57Come on.

00:55:57Daniel, is it true that the script got one of you Oscars for both writing and directing

00:56:01sat on a shelf for ten years?

00:56:03I'll admit I got a little sideline, but I think I found my way back.

00:56:07But, okay, I'll tell you this.

00:56:11I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.

00:56:19Way to go, John!

00:56:20Thank you so much for considering me for this part.

00:56:38We'll keep it out.

00:56:44What do we have today?

00:56:4540, sir.

00:56:46Jeez.

00:56:46Hey, boy.

00:56:47How are we looking?

00:56:48How are we looking at it?

00:56:48So, they get me.

00:56:49Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.

00:56:53I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.

00:56:55All right, here's the deal.

00:56:56The studio's on my ass looking to lock the lead today.

00:56:59Today?

00:57:00Are you fucking kidding me?

00:57:01That's why I love you, man.

00:57:02Cool under pressure.

00:57:04This movie is going to blow the roof off.

00:57:08Oh, my God.

00:57:09All right, just printing the next one.

00:57:10Ah.

00:57:11So, that would be Emily Blake.

00:57:16Emily.

00:57:18Amazing, as always.

00:57:23You flew in all the way from London for this?

00:57:25Please.

00:57:26I was going to miss a shot too much for the great Daniel Johnson.

00:57:30How's L.A. treating you?

00:57:31Oh, my God.

00:57:32Less tea, but way more traffic.

00:57:35But I am...

00:57:36I'm glad to be back.

00:57:38Well, there's no English countryside.

00:57:39Yeah.

00:57:39But it suits you.

00:57:42You definitely belong here.

00:57:46I do miss you, though.

00:57:47It was fun.

00:57:49Playing the part.

00:57:50Pretty starlet.

00:57:51American director.

00:57:53I kept waiting for us to become something real.

00:57:57Waiting for us to become something real.

00:57:59I'm sorry, Emily.

00:58:01It just cost me.

00:58:02And we're called even.

00:58:04You were amazing, as always.

00:58:06It's just...

00:58:07It's just not quite what I'm looking for.

00:58:11I never was, was I?

00:58:13Anyways.

00:58:15Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.

00:58:17Maybe I'll see you around.

00:58:18Yeah.

00:58:19Give me coffee.

00:58:30You know what?

00:58:30Go get one for your sausage.

00:58:33Happy dinners with the sugar.

00:58:39Oh, my God.

00:58:40What am I going to do?

00:58:46That was quick.

00:58:49What are you doing here?

00:58:57I came to audition.

00:59:01Did you bring your representation?

00:59:02No.

00:59:03I fired my manager, remember?

00:59:06I'm starting fresh.

00:59:08Wait, um...

00:59:10Hi.

00:59:12I was Reina Donovan.

00:59:16Don't let me go!

00:59:17I got you.

00:59:18I'll never let you go.

00:59:19Are you okay?

00:59:22Yeah.

00:59:22It's an old wound that, um...

00:59:24never really healed.

00:59:27I understand.

00:59:31Daniel Johnson.

00:59:33Nice to meet you.

00:59:36Please.

00:59:37Please.

00:59:43Now be ready.

00:59:44Thanks for coming, T-T-T-T-T.

01:00:05Stay right.
