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.
00:00:13Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on the 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 househusband, 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 to throw the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:00:54You still worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:00:55That was a long time ago.
00:00:58America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:00All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:04With her career standing 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.
00:01:35What's going on?
00:01:38What's going on?
00:01:40Honey!
00:01:40I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:01:45If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ooh.
00:01:47But I need to go. I 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.
00:02:01Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:03Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:05I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:10I saw Preston was there.
00:02:12I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:14I mean, we owe him.
00:02:16Yeah, and then he cheated on you.
00:02:17And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:19I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:21Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:23But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:25No! I want to eat now!
00:02:26Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:02:37He doesn't listen.
00:02:38Daniel, please.
00:02:39I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs
00:02:42that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:02:45Ugh.
00:02:46I got something I need to tell you.
00:02:47I'll make it quick.
00:02:48This isn't easy, but I need...
00:02:49No, what is this?
00:02:51It'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.
00:02:56You can't have that every day.
00:02:58It's not healthy for you.
00:02:59But I want that.
00:03:00Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:03You suck!
00:03:04I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:06Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:13I waited.
00:03:14I gave everything I had.
00:03:17But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:18And my self-absorbed wife
00:03:20would rather be with a man
00:03:21that almost ruined her life than me.
00:03:23Enough.
00:03:24Just enough.
00:03:26I want a divorce.
00:03:31I want a divorce.
00:03:36Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:03:39Huh?
00:03:40I want a...
00:03:43I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:44Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:46Jackson, honey,
00:03:47you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:03:49Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:03:51We'll get you some real food.
00:03:51Seriously.
00:03:56Seriously.
00:03:57Your 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?
00:04:03Another contract?
00:04:04How big is the role?
00:04:06Who's directing?
00:04:07It's not a...
00:04:08Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:10Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:04:12Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:04:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:04:17I really need you to pull your weight.
00:04:19Pull my weight?
00:04:20Yeah, you get it.
00:04:23Love you.
00:04:24I've devoted myself to this family for 10 long years.
00:04:27If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:04:30Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:04:39The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:04:41We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:04:43I can't.
00:04:44My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:04:45After all I've sacrificed,
00:04:47my scripts,
00:04:48my career,
00:04:49my future,
00:04:50all 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
00:04:56to save my mother's life.
00:04:57Hey, mom.
00:04:58How you doing?
00:04:58Oh, good, dear.
00:05:00I just noticed that you transfer more money to mine, too.
00:05:03Do you need more?
00:05:04No, no, no, no.
00:05:05You've already done so much.
00:05:07I'm just trying to help.
00:05:08I know.
00:05:09But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:05:12I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done,
00:05:15but it's time you lived your life.
00:05:18I am, mom.
00:05:19And I promise very soon everything's going to change.
00:05:26You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:05:29Everyone, look, look, look, look.
00:05:31I gotta go.
00:05:32How do you?
00:05:35Who is it, mom?
00:05:36Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:05:38Our favorite leading man.
00:05:40Come on.
00:05:40Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:05:48and is stealing it back again.
00:05:52Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:06:00All right, cut.
00:06:01That's a wrap, everyone.
00:06:02We 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.
00:06:11Our future's ahead of us.
00:06:14If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:06:17Destroyed me.
00:06:44What is that?
00:06:46Is that the one?
00:06:57Sabrina, don't!
00:06:59Stay back.
00:07:01I mean it.
00:07:02Sabrina, don't do this.
00:07:05Just...
00:07:06Just give me your hand.
00:07:08No!
00:07:19Ah!
00:07:20Daniel!
00:07:21I got you.
00:07:22No!
00:07:23No, let me go!
00:07:25I won't ever let you go.
00:07:30I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:07:33Nobody sees the real people.
00:07:34I see you, Sabrina.
00:07:36I see all of you.
00:07:38And you're never going to be alone again.
00:07:46Good to see ya!
00:07:47Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:07:49About too long.
00:07:50What's you?
00:07:51Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:07:54Yeah, of course, babe.
00:07:54Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:07:56Are you kidding?
00:07:56Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to 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 did 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 sailor.
00:08:18Daniel!
00:08:19Oh.
00:08:19Don't embarrass me.
00:08:20No, it's fine.
00:08:21Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:08:25He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:08:28My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch you.
00:08:30He doesn't let me do anything.
00:08:31Now that I'm here, we'll be able to have Ben's on my dad's rules.
00:08:34What do you say?
00:08:35Huh?
00:08:35Yeah.
00:08:36Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:08:39That's fine.
00:08:40That's fine.
00:08:42Just relax, okay?
00:08:43Be nice.
00:08:44Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:08:56when he breaks her heart again.
00:08:58Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:09:08Oh, careful.
00:09:10You all right?
00:09:10I'm still starving.
00:09:14Make me some food.
00:09:15Jackson, there's a leftover stew in the fridge.
00:09:17Stew?
00:09:18Ew.
00:09:19What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:09:20I've told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets.
00:09:23Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just get him nuggets.
00:09:25I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:09:28Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:09:31Okay?
00:09:32For real?
00:09:33Yeah.
00:09:33My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:09:36Donovan Cosmetics.
00:09:37I'm rich.
00:09:38Which 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.
00:09:46See, you know, that was always your problem.
00:09:47You're so caught up on the morals.
00:09:49You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:09:50They were so dull.
00:09:51He's Mr. Eastwood.
00:09:52My cat won't let me have anything.
00:09:54Well, for you, Uncle Preston's a little bit of a rebel.
00:09:57So how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:10:01Watch me.
00:10:02Here we go.
00:10:03What?
00:10:04Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:10:05I don't mind.
00:10:05All of you insist.
00:10:07I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:10:08So.
00:10:10Okay.
00:10:11Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:10:15So, anyways.
00:10:16Oh, baby, let's go.
00:10:18That's great.
00:10:18Gotcha.
00:10:19There we go.
00:10:20Oh.
00:10:21There's Paps.
00:10:23You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:10:24Last time.
00:10:26I promise.
00:10:28You're right.
00:10:29It is the last time.
00:10:31Guys.
00:10:33Bye.
00:10:34Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:10:43Contract plan.
00:10:45So.
00:10:47Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:10:50I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:10:53The 10 years of heartbreak?
00:10:55I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:10:56Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:11:12She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:11:17Sabrina Bonovan?
00:11:17I could scream.
00:11:19I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:11:20Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking Ice.
00:11:24Oh, gee.
00:11:24I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:11:26The scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:11:29Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:11:31Wait.
00:11:31Are you two dating?
00:11:32Oh, well, actually, it's totally a date.
00:11:35All these years, I couldn't even be seen with their own public.
00:11:38Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:11:43You'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.
00:11:48You get it, right?
00:11:56So, you two are a thing?
00:11:58Well, I...
00:11:58Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:11:59We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:12:08This is so going viral.
00:12:10I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:12:11It looks like more than dating.
00:12:13Is this your son?
00:12:14I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:12:16Don't be silly.
00:12:17You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:12:20That'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.
00:12:28I 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 afterparty with a call girl.
00:12:37It's okay, buddy.
00:12:38Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:12:40If you won't be around, I'm in.
00:12:42That is if mom's cool with him.
00:12:44Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:12:45Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:12:47Preston, what are you doing?
00:12:51Come on.
00:12:52Let's give him a show.
00:13:05Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:13:07I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:13:11Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:13:17Daniel!
00:13:18You know, it's probably for the best.
00:13:20On the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:13:24Daniel, he's here.
00:13:25Did he see us?
00:13:26Is he looking over here?
00:13:27Fuck, that's not good.
00:13:28I was just doing it for Felicia.
00:13:29It didn't mean for him to see us.
00:13:31Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:13:32Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:13:35Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:13:37Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:13:38That's enough.
00:13:40What do I do?
00:13:42Well, that's it then.
00:13:44Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:13:45I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:13:48I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:13:51You're really good at that.
00:13:52Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:13:55A one-way ticket.
00:13:57So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:14:00I know the contract is over.
00:14:01But if I see one stitch a bad press about the Donovans, I will come after you with everything I've got.
00:14:07Daniel loves me.
00:14:07He has to understand.
00:14:09This is Hollywood.
00:14:09It's just part of the job.
00:14:12Daniel, I can explain.
00:14:18Daniel, what is this?
00:14:21I can't let her create a public scene.
00:14:23All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:14:25Are you going somewhere?
00:14:27Honey?
00:14:28Oh, what a coincidence.
00:14:30We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:14:32Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:14:33A vacation?
00:14:34Finally.
00:14:35You're paying attention.
00:14:37Yeah.
00:14:37I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:14:39Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:14:41What are we supposed to do without you?
00:14:42Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:14:44That's not what I meant.
00:14:44Whoa.
00:14:45Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:14:47That's fine.
00:14:48Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:14:50Just like any good husband would.
00:14:52Oh, I see.
00:14:53Is it me?
00:14:54Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:14:56I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:14:58I always knew you were the self-loving type.
00:14:59You know what?
00:15:00Maybe I should go.
00:15:01I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:15:02No, please, Faye.
00:15:03I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:15:06No, you know what?
00:15:07I'll go.
00:15:09And clearly she wants you.
00:15:10We'll need to test this soon.
00:15:11Daniel, wait.
00:15:13I won't ever let you go.
00:15:15He won't leave.
00:15:16He promised.
00:15:17It doesn't have to be like this.
00:15:18We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:15:21I'm going to go back.
00:15:25Daniel!
00:15:28Please.
00:15:29It's better than yours.
00:15:30Yeah.
00:15:33Oh!
00:15:33Oh, good.
00:15:35You're up.
00:15:37Um, after dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:15:41It's fun.
00:15:42Don't look at me like that.
00:15:44I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:15:46Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:15:50How lucky for him.
00:15:51He'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.
00:15:56Listen, man, I have had every opportunity to sleep with her, and nothing happened.
00:16:01You can trust me.
00:16:04Preston, I think you're the only problem.
00:16:06He needs to let you out.
00:16:07All right.
00:16:09Yeah, no, seriously, listen, man, when you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of
00:16:15your son and your wife.
00:16:16I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:16:19Just ignore him.
00:16:20He 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.
00:16:34I 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?
00:16:49My God.
00:16:51God, you're unbelievable.
00:16:52Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:16:58No, it's not like that.
00:17:00I...
00:17:00What?
00:17:02You know what?
00:17:03Fine.
00:17:05You two look great together.
00:17:07Daniel, I...
00:17:08I need to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:17:20I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:17:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:17:32I was never the homemaker.
00:17:38Please, Daniel.
00:17:39I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:17:55If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:17:58I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:18:00Look at her now.
00:18:11Playing 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.
00:18:32God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:18:34Man.
00:18:35No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:18:37Life of a meal, let's turn a guess.
00:18:39I got some.
00:18:42Yeah.
00:18:43What do you need?
00:18:43Oh, oh.
00:18:44Yeah, there you go.
00:18:45I don't need some of this shit, but I doubt you'll like it.
00:18:48Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:18:49Bold enough for a new Marvel movie.
00:18:54Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife ended up with Jeremy last night, right?
00:18:59No?
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 act disappear.
00:19:15What's wrong with you guys?
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!
00:19:24That's a shame, huh?
00:19:24You know what?
00:19:25Let me grab it before you, little man.
00:19:26Here we go.
00:19:28Ooh.
00:19:29No!
00:19:29It's not to play with that.
00:19:32You never let me do anything!
00:19:34Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:19:37You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:19:38It's not about the money.
00:19:40It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:19:42Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:19:45Yeah?
00:19:46What's that supposed to mean?
00:19:48You're so annoying!
00:19:49Don't push.
00:19:55I said don't push.
00:19:56Go get a book or something.
00:19:57I'll just get your hands off him.
00:19:58He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man servant.
00:20:01God, what the hell's with your son?
00:20:06Call it a lesson.
00:20:07I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:20:08He's not your kid.
00:20:09I wish I would.
00:20:10I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:20:13I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:20:15Ouch.
00:20:16I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:20:17So why don't you make this a little vacay of yours?
00:20:19Hermit.
00:20:20Maybe it will be.
00:20:21But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:20:23You?
00:20:25Man of the house?
00:20:26Please.
00:20:26You're a pussy in an apron.
00:20:27I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden,
00:20:29which less a dad or a husband.
00:20:31You're a Washington Packer.
00:20:32Still writing on all your old headlines.
00:20:33How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:20:35I heard your agents begging for scrap.
00:20:37I'm looking for a star!
00:20:39A star?
00:20:39A star that needs his ex to bring it back into the spotlight.
00:20:43Jackson, come on.
00:20:43I don't want you hanging around this clowning.
00:20:45No, I'm not going.
00:20:46Preston's way cooler than you.
00:20:48Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:21:08You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:21:12What was that?
00:21:14No, it's...
00:21:15No.
00:21:18Daniel!
00:21:19What is happening?
00:21:21It was Dad, Mom.
00:21:22Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:21:24He was so serious.
00:21:24He got it pretty good, babe.
00:21:26What the hell, Daniel?
00:21:27I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:21:28I came in looking for a fight.
00:21:30What?
00:21:30I didn't.
00:21:31Daniel, what 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 not...
00:21:39Remember we're in the public eye?
00:21:41What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:21:43What?
00:21:43Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:21:46Maybe I should go on.
00:21:47I'm sorry.
00:21:48No.
00:21:49Oh, my God.
00:21:50He's lying.
00:21:52You're a monster.
00:21:54And in front of your son?
00:21:55You have to be kidding.
00:21:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:21:59We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:22:01Come on.
00:22:02Clean this up.
00:22:02Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:22:08She's mine now, Lizzie.
00:22:16Hello, 911.
00:22:18What's your emergency?
00:22:19Wait, no.
00:22:20I think I already...
00:22:21I didn't name those now.
00:22:23Now.
00:22:23You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:22:35with liquid.
00:22:36To be honest, that's...
00:22:37I could use a break from home.
00:22:39Trouble with the missus?
00:22:41Uh...
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:43Pretty obvious.
00:22:44Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:22:47I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:22:51With Preston Eastlebed.
00:22:53True love story.
00:22:54Holding hands, wiping tears.
00:22:56I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:22:59You said, um, a couple?
00:23:01I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official!
00:23:05She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was hoisted.
00:23:09She was so sweet.
00:23:13Need a so-check on that shoulder for you?
00:23:15No, it's...
00:23:17It's an old wound.
00:23:19I tore it, actually.
00:23:20I'm tenured.
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.
00:23:38Now you're my shitty girl.
00:23:41Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:23:43You once liked my short film.
00:23:44I have the script I've been sitting on.
00:23:45It meets 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?
00:24:03What?
00:24:07I've been busy.
00:24:07It means I 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?
00:24:18I just...
00:24:20I'm sorry.
00:24:23Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:24:28It is what it is.
00:24:30But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:24:33You even just hint at a relationship,
00:24:35and 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.
00:24:46Seriously.
00:24:47I...
00:24:48I care about you.
00:24:52I don't know that.
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.
00:25:14Sabrina, I'm gonna...
00:25:15You 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.
00:25:37Me and you.
00:25:38The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:25:41I 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
00:26:18was 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 like it.
00:26:23That's not what I meant.
00:26:24I like it when you make it.
00:26:27I'm not going to only be here to make it.
00:26:31I knew it.
00:26:33You aren't 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.
00:26:44It's good to know where you stand.
00:26:46No, Daniel.
00:26:47No, that's not what I meant.
00:26:54Look what you made me do.
00:26:57Just leave it.
00:26:58I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:27:02And 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.
00:27:08You know what?
00:27:09Forget it.
00:27:09I have a fear.
00:27:10I'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:27:14What?
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.
00:27:30But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's FA.
00:27:33This is Show This Baby.
00:27:35Remember that.
00:27:36I'll text you the address of Les Neymes.
00:27:44I 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 a broke writer's assistant.
00:28:01Oh, well, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:28:05Come here.
00:28:09Jackson!
00:28:10We were just talking about your mom.
00:28:12Do you know where she is?
00:28:13Or 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.
00:28:37What are you doing here?
00:28:38You never come to these things.
00:28:40Oh, that's gotta be a husband.
00:28:42Get lost.
00:28:43You'll 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.
00:28:51Is there a problem?
00:28:53Oh, my God.
00:28:57That's Preston Eastwood.
00:28:58How could Sabrina choose this flat over Preston?
00:29:01If there was a problem, listen to your business.
00:29:03I wish Preston was my dad.
00:29:05You're a pathetic loser.
00:29:06Zip it, Jackson.
00:29:07You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:29:12I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:29:13That's not what I see.
00:29:14You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:29:21That'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, wasn't it?
00:29:32You were revolting.
00:29:34No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did it.
00:29:35Hey.
00:29:37Why don't you watch her now?
00:29:39Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:29:42Yeah.
00:29:42Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:29:43Oh, yeah?
00:29:44What lesson's that, Preston?
00:29:45You're groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:29:49Hmm.
00:29:51Oh!
00:29:51What the hell?
00:30:09What happened?
00:30:11Oh my god, Daniel!
00:30:12What the hell happened?
00:30:14Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:30:15Are you okay?
00:30:16Look 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.
00:30:29No.
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.
00:30:39Is it true?
00:30:42Sabrina.
00:30:44Oh!
00:30:45Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:30:48I think one of them is broken.
00:30:49Sabrina.
00:30:50Honey.
00:30:51We need to help Preston.
00:30:54But Daniel.
00:30:57Imagine choosing Batlos over Preston Eastwood.
00:31:09Mommy, please.
00:31:10We can't leave him.
00:31:12I have to help Preston.
00:31:15Come on, Jackson.
00:31:27Come 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.
00:31:43Well, 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.
00:32:04If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:32:10Don't worry about it.
00:32:22Just try.
00:32:23I used to ache for her approval.
00:32:36Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:32:40Seriously?
00:32:41Sleep, Mom.
00:32:43Yeah.
00:32:44I'm going to call the doctor, okay?
00:32:46What are you doing?
00:32:49I thought you were hurt.
00:32:50I think I'll pull through.
00:32:57So what are you doing?
00:32:58I've always wanted to.
00:33:00Mom, I know you want this.
00:33:01I see the way you look at me.
00:33:03Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:33:06I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:33:08Mom.
00:33:16What am I doing?
00:33:18Daniel is still injured.
00:33:19He should be home.
00:33:22Sabrina?
00:33:32I said, get off.
00:33:34What?
00:33:35Hey, we can finally...
00:33:36I said, get off.
00:33:38I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:33:40No, forget about him.
00:33:41Look, I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:33:45And I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:33:49I mean, come on.
00:33:49Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:33:51Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:33:53What?
00:33:55Look.
00:33:55He's already moved on.
00:33:58No.
00:33:59No.
00:34:00What have I done?
00:34:01Where is he?
00:34:02What about me?
00:34:03You had a chance ten years ago.
00:34:06I need to go take care of my husband.
00:34:13Hello?
00:34:14Excuse me.
00:34:15Excuse me.
00:34:16Hi.
00:34:17Have you seen my husband?
00:34:18Please, he was someone bleeding out.
00:34:20I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:34:24He didn't come back in the...
00:34:25Oh, no.
00:34:28God, Daniel, where are you?
00:34:30I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:34:33Please try again, ma'am.
00:34:34Oh, thank God.
00:34:36Oh, come on, Daniel.
00:34:46Answer me.
00:34:47Answer me.
00:34:52He's not gone.
00:34:53I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:34:55He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:35:05No.
00:35:08It's not possible.
00:35:10He will be back.
00:35:11No.
00:35:13No.
00:35:22Wait, it's all this.
00:35:23That's...
00:35:24I'm zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:35:26He leaves all spousal support.
00:35:28No.
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 it.
00:35:41No.
00:35:42All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:35:57It can't be.
00:36:00It's not her.
00:36:01Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:36:02My mom will look it over anyways.
00:36:04He loves me.
00:36:06He loves Jackson.
00:36:08He wouldn't just leave us.
00:36:09We're his family.
00:36:10And after all these years, everything we've been through...
00:36:14I got you.
00:36:32I'll let him go.
00:36:34Is he ever really paying attention?
00:36:40Daniel?
00:36:41No, it's Mom.
00:36:42Is everything okay?
00:36:43You sound patient?
00:36:44Mom.
00:36:45Mom.
00:36:47Daniel.
00:36:48He just left us.
00:36:50Do you know where he is?
00:36:52We have to find him.
00:36:53We can check the hospital or the...
00:36:54Oh, 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.
00:37:03I'm hungry.
00:37:12Dad!
00:37:12Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:37:15Jackson?
00:37:17I have something to tell you.
00:37:20Your dad.
00:37:23Your dad.
00:37:23He's left us.
00:37:26I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:37:28Yay!
00:37:29He's gone!
00:37:29He's gone!
00:37:31Why would you say that?
00:37:32He was so embarrassing.
00:37:33Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:37:34Mr. 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.
00:37:43He was so lame and boring.
00:37:45Now he's gone.
00:37:47Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:37:49He can be my new dad.
00:37:50Jackson!
00:37:51You have a dad.
00:37:52And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:37:54Yeah, but I hate him!
00:38:01Hello?
00:38:02Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:38:04Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:38:05I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:38:07I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:38:08Large thumbs have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:38:12Was that done with your approval?
00:38:13No.
00:38:14But I'm not surprised.
00:38:15Flag his name.
00:38:16I want him frozen and cut off.
00:38:19Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:38:22Okay?
00:38:23He'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.
00:38:31What kind of coward abandons his family, huh?
00:38:34It's despicable.
00:38:35I can't do this anymore.
00:38:38I cancel everything.
00:38:39The interviews, the red carpets.
00:38:41I don't want to be seen.
00:38:43I can't pretend.
00:38:44I just want him back.
00:38:47Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:38:50You don't love him anyway.
00:38:51And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:38:57What?
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.
00:39:03He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:39:07But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:39:10Thanks, my husband.
00:39:12And the father of my son.
00:39:13Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with
00:39:17his child just because the contract ended?
00:39:18Contract?
00:39:20What contract?
00:39:21What 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
00:39:34a trip.
00:39:35Is there something you're not telling me?
00:39:36Please.
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.
00:39:48But no, it was all for your own good.
00:39:55When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:39:58I had to save you.
00:39:59She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:40:02You've always been there for her.
00:40:04From film school to now.
00:40:05I'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.
00:40:12It 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, 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.
00:40:39He 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.
00:40:47You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood 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.
00:40:55He 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 Take a Silver Box.
00:41:20This has already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer, director.
00:41:25You can watch.
00:41:25There he is now.
00:41:26This is Daniel Johnson.
00:41:30Daniel, your film received the Palm 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 shoes.
00:41:38Nobody told me how.
00:41:39Oh, man.
00:41:40How comfortable 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
00:41:57is full steam ahead.
00:41:58Speaking of London, since you're an American rights director, will you be making your way
00:42:01back to Hollywood?
00:42:04Hollywood.
00:42:04Get out of the country.
00:42:06If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, that will make your life a living
00:42:12hell.
00:42:12He'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 little lady.
00:42:36That's not a life compliment coming from Emily Blake, 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.
00:42:51Thanks for saying that.
00:42:52She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:42:54I know.
00:42:55This is so surreal.
00:42:56I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:42:58I can.
00:42:59The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:43:02Daniel, enjoy this.
00:43:05And get used to compliments.
00:43:08Just already ask of us.
00:43:09Fuck you.
00:43:10I just read it out.
00:43:11I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:43:13You okay?
00:43:15You always do that when you're nervous.
00:43:16It's, um, I'll have it.
00:43:19Well, the one who's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker, someone else just got a
00:43:23head start.
00:43:24What press is good press?
00:43:36What press is good press?
00:43:36Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:43:45bitch?
00:43:46He 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.
00:43:52How 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?
00:44:01He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:44:03How 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, look at what you've got.
00:44:13A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:44:17Melanie's not whining.
00:44:19And don't forget about Preston.
00:44:20You're a dream man.
00:44:22You have everything.
00:44:23I don't have him.
00:44:25Mom, I'm hungry.
00:44:27Go have the chef make something.
00:44:28No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:44:31Why 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 the guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:44:40It 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!
00:44:51You little shit!
00:44:54Enough!
00:44:55Just enough!
00:44:56Sabrina?
00:44:57What's gotten into you?
00:44:59Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:45:01Whoa.
00:45:03What's going on here?
00:45:04This 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.
00:45:20Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:45:23Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:45:24Really?
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 fairly, really low.
00:45:38Especially 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.
00:45:47Face it, Preston.
00:45:48You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:45:50And you're a fucking thief.
00:45:53Yeah, 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.
00:46:01It's not like that, okay?
00:46:02Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:46:05I want to marry you.
00:46:06We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:46:08When's my birthday?
00:46:09Huh?
00:46:10What kind of flowers do I like?
00:46:11What's my favorite color, my favorite song?
00:46:14Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:46:16Oh, oh wait, what's my fucking middle name?
00:46:19You don't give a shit about me.
00:46:21You don't love me.
00:46:22You 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?
00:46:28I'm done.
00:46:29Get out.
00:46:30I don't want to ever see you again.
00:46:32We're over.
00:46:33We're over.
00:46:34Hey, hey, come on.
00:46:36Please, please, I love you.
00:46:37Just, just 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?
00:46:42All of this will get a lot of weird.
00:46:44Get out.
00:46:45Now.
00:46:46Just give me your hand.
00:46:47Come on.
00:46:47I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:46:50Nobody sees the real thing.
00:46:52I see you, Sabrina.
00:46:53I see all of you.
00:46:55And you're never going to be alone again.
00:46:58He truly knew me.
00:47:00He loved me.
00:47:02Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:47:08I saved you from social suicide.
00:47:10Saved me?
00:47:11You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:47:14Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:47:15And he saved me from you.
00:47:18Security!
00:47:20Security!
00:47:21Just let's talk about this.
00:47:23No.
00:47:24Come on.
00:47:24Celeste, do something.
00:47:26Come on.
00:47:26Sabrina!
00:47:27Come on, Sabrina!
00:47:28Was that really necessary?
00:47:30I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:47:33Is that all you care about?
00:47:35The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:47:38God!
00:47:39You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:47:43Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:47:45Of course I care about you.
00:47:47I love you.
00:47:49Then prove it.
00:47:50If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:47:53You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:48:06I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:48:08In 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.
00:48:15I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:48:16All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:48:17You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:48:19I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:48:21I got projects.
00:48:22Come on.
00:48:22You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets
00:48:26made in L.A., not London.
00:48:27That's where you belong.
00:48:29To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:48:31Didn't really end well.
00:48:32Let me guess.
00:48:33My girl?
00:48:34If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:48:38You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:48:41You 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 features, you know.
00:48:46$200 million budget each, creative control, and final cut approval.
00:48:50I don't know what to say.
00:48:50Just say yes.
00:48:51You have my number.
00:48:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:48:54Just remember, Daniel.
00:48:56You can't run away from the past.
00:48:57You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:48:59Hey, 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.
00:49:16It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:49:20Is this a personal story where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:49:24Oh, she knows who she is.
00:49:28Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:49:31Oh!
00:49:32You arrogant little shit.
00:49:34I told you if you ever sat foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a little hotel.
00:49:37It's less, Donovan.
00:49:43I need a favor.
00:49:44I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:49:48Well, it's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:49:53Mom, what are you doing?
00:49:57Did you just break my TV?
00:49:59Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:50:02You know, I'm not supposed to do that.
00:50:03You've been so kind of.
00:50:04Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
00:50:08He's back.
00:50:10Why didn't you tell me?
00:50:12Honey, I don't want you spiraling again.
00:50:14I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:50:17I need to get on that movie.
00:50:18Absolutely not.
00:50:19You're not working for your ex-husband.
00:50:21If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
00:50:23Oh, honey.
00:50:24I'm just looking out for you.
00:50:25He still loves me.
00:50:28He has to.
00:50:30I just need to talk to him.
00:50:32Let him go.
00:50:35Mom.
00:50:37Honey, I...
00:50:38You know I just want what's best for you, right?
00:50:41I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
00:50:44I love you.
00:50:47I love you, too.
00:50:49Here we go.
00:50:52This is, um...
00:50:53It's another movie deal.
00:50:54I'll tell you about it after.
00:51:08Did you get his location?
00:51:09The Oaks, 8 p.m.
00:51:12After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
00:51:16It'll be a race from Sabrina's life forever.
00:51:18She's not protecting me.
00:51:27She's protecting her business.
00:51:29I'm just a pawn.
00:51:31But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
00:51:33It's so nice having you back.
00:51:36And I don't just mean from the UK.
00:51:38Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
00:51:40A couple?
00:51:41Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
00:51:44If you can even call them that.
00:51:45You're healthy now.
00:51:46And I'm at the top of my career.
00:51:48I mean, yeah, there was a time that I love Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
00:51:52The marriage, the kids.
00:51:54I mean, we really tried.
00:51:55I thought I could make it go for it, but it's over.
00:52:00It's over.
00:52:01I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks.
00:52:03Preston used to be a good offer.
00:52:10Oh, you haven't heard?
00:52:13She dumped him.
00:52:14It was all over People magazine.
00:52:15She ended it when his star faded.
00:52:17Oh, my God.
00:52:19What?
00:52:24Daniel.
00:52:27Stop.
00:52:34Sabrina, what are you doing here?
00:52:36I'm here to help you.
00:52:37Sabrina, you're making a scene.
00:52:39Let's go home.
00:52:40Sabrina?
00:52:41How could you?
00:52:41What?
00:52:42I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
00:52:45I begged and pleaded.
00:52:46Stop lying.
00:52:47I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
00:52:51And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and
00:52:55ruined him.
00:52:56My God.
00:52:57You're disgusting.
00:52:58I'm a manager, Daniel.
00:52:59Not anymore.
00:53:00Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
00:53:04I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:53:07I'm your mother.
00:53:09I only want what's best for you.
00:53:11What's best for me?
00:53:14You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
00:53:17That all ends today.
00:53:19You're fired.
00:53:24Fired.
00:53:25No.
00:53:28No.
00:53:31No.
00:53:32You can't do this to me.
00:53:34Please.
00:53:34Please, sweetie.
00:53:35I have dedicated my life to you.
00:53:37You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
00:53:41I was just who you used to get to it.
00:53:43You think you can survive on sheer talent?
00:53:45There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
00:53:48I made you.
00:53:49You'd be nothing without me.
00:53:53I think she'll do just fine.
00:53:59We're done here, Mom.
00:54:00If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
00:54:07Without another word.
00:54:08I have something to say.
00:54:21I'm sorry, Daniel.
00:54:23I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
00:54:25I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
00:54:29I'm sorry I brought Cresson into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
00:54:37Apologize to your father.
00:54:38Do I have to?
00:54:40Who raised you?
00:54:42Cared for you?
00:54:44Packed your lunches when I was on set?
00:54:47Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
00:54:50He did.
00:54:51He loved you.
00:54:52But you treated him like he was nothing.
00:54:54I was wrong.
00:54:55Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
00:55:00And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
00:55:03I'm sorry, Dad.
00:55:07It's going to be okay, son.
00:55:08I love you.
00:55:10Okay.
00:55:11Come on, Jackson.
00:55:11Let's go.
00:55:12I'm sorry, Daniel.
00:55:19For everything.
00:55:28I know that look, Daniel.
00:55:30You're thinking of going back to them.
00:55:32No.
00:55:34I just didn't know it would be this hard.
00:55:36They hurt you, Daniel.
00:55:37They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
00:55:44People can change.
00:55:46But that doesn't change the past.
00:55:51And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:55:57Daniel!
00:55:58Daniel!
00:55:58Daniel!
00:55:59Daniel!
00:56:00Daniel, is it true that the script got one new Oscars for both writing and directing
00:56:03sound on the shelf for ten years?
00:56:04Yeah.
00:56:05I'll admit I got a little sideline, but...
00:56:07I think I found my way back.
00:56:10But, okay.
00:56:10I'll tell you this.
00:56:12I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
00:56:21Way to go, John!
00:56:22Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
00:56:39We'll keep it up.
00:56:45How many more do we have today?
00:56:46Forty, sir.
00:56:47Jesus.
00:56:48Hey, boy!
00:56:49How we looking?
00:56:50So, big of a...
00:56:51Um...
00:56:52No one's cracked the lead yet.
00:56:53I mean, this film, Mr. Dyser dies by the female lead.
00:56:57All right, here's the deal.
00:56:58The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
00:57:01Today?
00:57:02Are you fucking kidding me?
00:57:03That's why I love you, man.
00:57:04Cool under pressure.
00:57:05This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
00:57:07Oh, my God.
00:57:11All right, just bring in the next one.
00:57:12But that would be Emily Blake.
00:57:17Emily.
00:57:22Emily.
00:57:23Amazing, as always.
00:57:25You flew in all the way from London for this?
00:57:27Please.
00:57:28I was gonna miss a shot too much for the great Daniel Johnson.
00:57:32How's LA treating you?
00:57:33Oh, my God.
00:57:34That's T, but way more traffic.
00:57:36But I am...
00:57:38I'm glad to be back.
00:57:40Well, it's not English countryside.
00:57:41Yeah.
00:57:41But it's good to you.
00:57:44You definitely belong here.
00:57:47I do miss you, though.
00:57:49It was fun.
00:57:50Playing Bob.
00:57:52British starlet.
00:57:53American director.
00:57:55I kept waiting for us to become something real.
00:57:59Waiting for us to become something real.
00:58:01I'm sorry, Emily.
00:58:02Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
00:58:06You were amazing, as always.
00:58:08It's just...
00:58:09It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
00:58:13I never was, was I?
00:58:15Anyways.
00:58:16Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
00:58:19Maybe I'll see you around.
00:58:20Yeah.
00:58:21Give me a copy, and you know what?
00:58:32Go get one for yourself, too.
00:58:35Happy generous with the sugar.
00:58:41Oh, my God.
00:58:42What am I going to do?
00:58:48That was quick.
00:58:49What are you doing here?
00:58:59I came to audition.
00:59:03Did you bring any representation?
00:59:04No.
00:59:05I fired my manager, remember?
00:59:08I'm starting fresh.
00:59:10Right, um.
00:59:12Hi.
00:59:14I'm Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:15Don't let me go!
00:59:19I got you.
00:59:19I'll never let you go.
00:59:22Are you okay?
00:59:24Yeah.
00:59:24It's an old wound that, um, never really healed.
00:59:29I understand.
00:59:33Dana Johnson.
00:59:35Nice to meet you.
00:59:38Please.
00:59:39Are you ready?
00:59:52?
00:59:57Oh.
01:00:01Oh.
01:00:02Oh.
01:00:03Oh.
01:00:04Oh.
01:00:05Oh.
01:00:06Oh.
