00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:07That 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 were both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:18Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I got my way back.
00:00:23I 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.
00:00:38Our 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 it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:00:54You still worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:00:56That was a long time ago.
00:00:58America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:01All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:04With 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.
00:01:17So 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.
00:01:30This was the last one.
00:01:32Mom, Daniel.
00:01:35What'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.
00:01:45If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh!
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.
00:02:02Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:06I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:09I 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.
00:02:15Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and 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.
00:02:22But 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 that I got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:02:44Ugh.
00:02:45I got something I need to tell you.
00:02:47I'll make it quick.
00:02:47This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:02:49Yo, what is this?
00:02:50It's mom's vegetable and quinoa spoon.
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. It'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! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:13I waited. I gave everything I had.
00:03:16But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:18And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with a man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:03:23Enough. Just 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...
00:03:43I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:44Jimmy, chicken nuggets!
00:03:46Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:03:49Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'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?
00:04:03Another 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 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.
00:04:38The movie's Greenland, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:04:41We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:04:42I can't.
00:04:43My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:04:45After 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.
00:04:58How you doing?
00:04:58Oh, good, dear.
00:05:00I just noticed that you transfer more money to my town.
00:05:03Do you need more?
00:05:04No, no, no, no.
00:05:04You've already done so much.
00:05:07I was just trying to help.
00:05:08I know.
00:05:09But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:05:11I 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.
00:05:26You're wonderful, dear.
00:05:27You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:05:29Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:05:31I gotta go.
00:05:31Love you.
00:05:34What is it, mom?
00:05:35Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:05:38Our 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.
00:05:55All right, cut.
00:06:01That'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.
00:06:11Our future's ahead of us.
00:06:12If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:06:17If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:06:17She didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:06:47Just give me your hand.
00:07:08Just give me your hand.
00:07:17No!
00:07:19Daniel!
00:07:21I got you.
00:07:22No!
00:07:23No, let me go!
00:07:24I won't ever let you go.
00:07:30I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:07:32Nobody sees around me.
00:07:34I see you, Sabrina.
00:07:36I see all of you.
00:07:38And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:07:40Good to see ya!
00:07:47Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:07:48Oh, too long.
00:07:49It's you!
00:07:50Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:07:53Yeah, of course, babe.
00:07:54Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:07:55Are you kidding?
00:07:56Oh, Daniel, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:07:59Oh, 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!
00:08:19Don't embarrass me.
00:08:20No, it's fine.
00:08:21Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:08:24He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you fan kiddo!
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 bend some of dad's rules.
00:08:34What are you saying?
00:08:35Huh?
00:08:36Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:08:38That's fine.
00:08:39That's fine.
00:08:40Just relax, okay?
00:08:41Be nice.
00:08:42Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:08:55when he breaks her heart again.
00:08:57Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the sale.
00:09:08Oh, careful.
00:09:09You all right?
00:09:10I'm still starving.
00:09:11Make me some food.
00:09:12Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:09:13Stew?
00:09:14Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:09:15I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:09:16Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just get him nuggets.
00:09:17I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:09:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:09:19What?
00:09:20For real?
00:09:21Yeah.
00:09:22My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:09:23Donovan Cosmetics.
00:09:24I'm rich.
00:09:25Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:09:28I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:09:31I see, Dina, that was always your problem.
00:09:32You're so caught up on the morals.
00:09:33You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:09:34They were so dull.
00:09:35Please, Mr. Eastwood, my cat won't let me have anything.
00:09:36Well, for you, Uncle Preston, it's a little bit of a rebel.
00:09:37So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:09:41My treat.
00:09:42I see.
00:09:43I see.
00:09:44I see.
00:09:45I see.
00:09:46I see.
00:09:47I see.
00:09:48I see.
00:09:49I see.
00:09:50I see.
00:09:51I see.
00:09:52I see.
00:09:53I see.
00:09:54I see.
00:09:55I see.
00:09:56I see.
00:09:57I see.
00:09:58I see.
00:09:59I see.
00:10:00I think I'm gonna try.
00:10:01I see.
00:10:02What?
00:10:03There you go.
00:10:04What?
00:10:05Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:10:06I don't mind.
00:10:07I'll let you do it sis.
00:10:08I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:10:09Okay.
00:10:11Oh, and I would invite you to Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:10:15So, anyways.
00:10:16Come on, baby.
00:10:17Let's go.
00:10:18That's great.
00:10:19Gotcha.
00:10:20Oh.
00:10:21There's caps.
00:10:22You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:10:24Last time.
00:10:25I promise.
00:10:26You're right.
00:10:27You're right. It is the last time.
00:10:31Guys.
00:10:33Bye!
00:10:39Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:10:43Contract's fine. Let's hope.
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.
00:10:53After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:11:10Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:11:12She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:11:16Sabrina Bonovan? I could scream. I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:11:20I'm Preston Eastwood. I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking Ice.
00:11:23Oh, gee. I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss 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 seeing that they're in public.
00:11:37Do you mind just giving me a little space? They're not really a part of my brand.
00:11:44Your brand?
00:11:45It's just, it's not a good look for me. You get it, right?
00:11:56So, 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.
00:12:00This is so going viral. I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:12:11God, it looks like more than dating. Is this your son?
00:12:14I wish I was his son, Jackson. Don't be silly.
00:12:17You have a dad, and he's a sissy. That's what all the boys at school say.
00:12:21He does girly stuff like cook and clean. But Preston is awesome. He's an action spy.
00:12:27I 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 spine's a partner in crime.
00:12:39If you want me around, I'm in.
00:12:42That is if mom's school with him.
00:12:44Oh, Preston, I don't know. Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:12:47Preston, what are you doing?
00:12:50Come on. Let's get him a show.
00:12:57Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:13:09I told you this divorce was a mistake. Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:13:16Daniel!
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?
00:13:27Fuck, 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.
00:13:38That's enough.
00:13:40What do I do?
00:13:42Well, that's it then. Now I need to handle Sabrina. I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:13:48I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you. You're really good at that.
00:13:52Oh, I have a parting gift for you. A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:14:00I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch a bad press about the Donovans, I will come after you with everything I've got.
00:14:06Daniel loves me. He has to understand. This is Hollywood. It'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. All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:14:25Are you going somewhere?
00:14:27Honey? 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.
00:14:36Yeah. 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.
00:14:51Oh, I see. Is it me? Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:14:55I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:14:57I always knew you were the self-loving type. You know what? Maybe I should go. I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:15:01No, please, Faye. I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:15:05No, you know what? I'll go. And clearly she wants you. Going to test this soon.
00:15:10Daniel, wait.
00:15:11I won't ever let you go.
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...
00:15:20I'm going to go back.
00:15:22Daniel!
00:15:24Oh, good. You're up. Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:15:41Fun.
00:15:42Don't look at me like that. I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun. Anyways, 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.
00:15:56Listen, man. I have had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened. You can trust me.
00:16:03Preston, I think you're a little drunk. You need to let you out.
00:16:07Alright.
00:16:08Oh, right. Daniel, 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?
00:16:30Okay, I'm going to bed.
00:16:34You 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. God, you're unbelievable.
00:16:54Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:16:58No, it's not like that. I...
00:17:00What?
00:17:02You know what, Mike?
00:17:04You two look great together.
00:17:06Daniel, I...
00:17:08And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:17:23Um...
00:17:27I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:17:29Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:17:32I was never the homemaker.
00:17:34Please, Daniel.
00:17:38I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:17:40Pearson, can you go in the other room?
00:17:42I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:17:46Look at her now. Playing house for another man.
00:17:48If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually happened to her.
00:17:50I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:17:54Pearson, can you go in the other room?
00:17:56I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:18:00Look at her now. Playing house for another man.
00:18:12If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:18:30There he is.
00:18:32God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:18:34No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:18:36Life of a male listener, I guess.
00:18:40I got some.
00:18:42What do you need? Oh, oh.
00:18:44Yeah, there you go.
00:18:45I don't need some of this shit, but I thought you'd like it.
00:18:47Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:18:49Pulling up for a new Marvel movie.
00:18:54Hey, uh...
00:18:55You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:18:58No? A 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.
00:19:17Phone fest.
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? You know what?
00:19:25I'm gonna grab a free little man.
00:19:26Here we go.
00:19:27Ooh.
00:19:28No, it's not to play with that.
00:19:31You never let me do anything!
00:19:33Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:19:36You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:19:38It's not about the money.
00:19:39It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:19:41Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:19:44Yeah?
00:19:45What's that supposed to mean?
00:19:46You're so annoying!
00:19:48Don't push.
00:19:49I said don't push.
00:19:50Go get a book or something.
00:19:51Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:19:52He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:19:53God damn.
00:19:54Just show me.
00:19:55Call it a lesson.
00:19:56I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:19:57He's not your kid.
00:19:58I wish I was.
00:19:59I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:20:01I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:20:02Ouch.
00:20:03I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:20:04So why don't you make this a little vacay of yours permanent?
00:20:05Maybe it will be.
00:20:06But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:20:07You?
00:20:08Man of the house?
00:20:09Please.
00:20:10You're a pussy and an apron.
00:20:11I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:20:14You're a watch the pack.
00:20:15Still writing on all your old headlines.
00:20:16How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:20:17I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:20:18I'm a fucking star.
00:20:19A star?
00:20:20A star that needs his ex to bring it back into the spotlight.
00:20:21Jackson, come on.
00:20:22I don't want you hanging out.
00:20:23I'm not me hanging out.
00:20:24You're a stupid face.
00:20:25Ouch.
00:20:26I'm a stupid face.
00:20:27Ouch.
00:20:28I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:20:29So why don't you make this a little vacay of yours permanent?
00:20:31Maybe it will be.
00:20:32But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:20:34You?
00:20:35Man of the house?
00:20:36Please.
00:20:37You're a pussy and an apron.
00:20:38I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:20:41back at the spotlight. Jackson, come on.
00:20:44I don't want you hanging around this clowning.
00:20:45No, I'm not going. Preston's way
00:20:47cooler than you. Preston, Preston,
00:20:50Preston!
00:20:50You know, there's a reason
00:21:10we say everyone's replaceable on hard work.
00:21:12What was that?
00:21:14It's this.
00:21:16Daniel!
00:21:18Daniel!
00:21:19What is happening?
00:21:21It was Dad, Mom. Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:21:24What?
00:21:25What the hell, Daniel?
00:21:28I just wanted to hang out with Jackson. I came in looking for a fight.
00:21:30I didn't.
00:21:31Dude, what the hell is wrong with you? You'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. Bro, look, remember where in the public eye?
00:21:41What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:21:43What, everyone knows your precious press had attacked me?
00:21:47Maybe I should go on. I'm sorry.
00:21:48No. Oh, my God.
00:21:50It's mine.
00:21:52You're a monster.
00:21:54And in front of your son? You 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.
00:22:02Clean this up.
00:22:04Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:22:06She's mine now, loser.
00:22:17Hello, 911. What's your emergency?
00:22:19Wait, no. I think I already...
00:22:21I think the ambulance now.
00:22:23Now.
00:22:23Now.
00:22:23You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight.
00:22:35To be honest, that's...
00:22:38I could use a break from home.
00:22:39Trouble with the missus?
00:22:40Uh...
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:44Pretty obvious.
00:22:45Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:22:48I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:22:51With Preston Easterman.
00:22:53True love story.
00:22:54Holding hands, wiping tears.
00:22:56I've been obsessed with him since breaking the eyes.
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 posted.
00:23:09She was so sweet.
00:23:13Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:23:16No, it's...
00:23:17It's my wound.
00:23:19I tore it, actually. I'm ten years old.
00:23:22Daniel!
00:23:24Sweet and caring.
00:23:26So 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.
00:23:34Mr. 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, and...
00:23:46It 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?
00:24:04What? I'm a busy.
00:24:08I 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, he'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...
00:24:23Bringing Preston into our home is probably crossing the line.
00:24:26It is what it is.
00:24:30But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:24:34You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:24:37I think you should go for it.
00:24:39I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:24:41But I just...
00:24:43I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:24:47Seriously.
00:24:48I...
00:24:48I care about you.
00:24:53Don't know that.
00:24:53I've known you for 14 years.
00:24:56I know when you're angry.
00:24:57Really?
00:24:58I didn't think you paid attention.
00:24:59I pay attention?
00:25:02Since 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.
00:25:08A headline.
00:25:09A performance.
00:25:11Sabrina.
00:25:11Sabrina, I'm good.
00:25:15You know what?
00:25:16I hate fighting.
00:25:18So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:25:20I was thinking.
00:25:21We could revisit your script.
00:25:25I gave that to you three years ago.
00:25:28You'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.
00:25:39I 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,
00:25:48and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into 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.
00:25:57I would have melted in her hands.
00:25:59Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:26:09I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:26:20Well, if I had a lot of experience making it for you, I'll be sure to tell him how you liked it.
00:26:23That's not what I meant.
00:26:24I like it when you make it.
00:26:28I'm not going to only 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.
00:26:48No, 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 don't fear.
00:27:10Just talk about this tomorrow.
00:27:16What?
00:27:25Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:27:26Yeah, ex-mother-in-law.
00:27:28Not quite.
00:27:28That was the divorce contract.
00:27:30But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize our entertainment contract and our family's FDA.
00:27:34This is Shield This Baby.
00:27:35Remember that.
00:27:36I'll text you the address of where I need me.
00:27:46I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:27:51Oh, 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.
00:28:03Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:28:06Come here.
00:28:06Oh.
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.
00:28:24He's way cooler than my old, boring, real dad.
00:28:27Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:28:30Yeah, 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 the husband.
00:28:43Get 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.
00:28:51Is there a problem?
00:28:56Oh, my God.
00:28:58Let's Preston Eastwood.
00:28:59How could Sabrina choose this flat over Preston?
00:29:02If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:29:04I 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 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.
00:29:17Then 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.
00:29:25It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:29:27And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:29:31This was all stunt, was it?
00:29:33You were revolting.
00:29:34No 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?
00:29:45What lesson is that, Preston?
00:29:46You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:29:50Hmm.
00:29:53Oh!
00:30:05What the hell?
00:30:09What happened?
00:30:11Oh my God, Daniel!
00:30:13What the hell happened?
00:30:14Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:30:16Are you okay?
00:30:17Look at her go.
00:30:18Hollywood's finest.
00:30:20Always 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.
00:30:27Mommy, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:30:30No, no, 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?
00:30:39Daniel, is it true?
00:30:43Sabrina.
00:30:44Oh!
00:30:46Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:30:48I think one of them is broken.
00:30:50Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:30:55But Daniel.
00:30:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:31:01Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:31:12I...
00:31:12I have...
00:31:14I have to help Preston.
00:31:27Come on, Jackson.
00:31:31Daniel!
00:31:33I got you.
00:31:34Don't let me go.
00:31:36She's made her choice.
00:31:38There's no going back.
00:31:39We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:31:44Well, 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.
00:32:23Just try.
00:32:34I used A for her approval.
00:32:37Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:32:40Seriously?
00:32:42Stay down.
00:32:43I know.
00:32:44What's your deal?
00:32:45Ugh.
00:32:45I'm going to call the doctor.
00:32:47Hey.
00:32:49What are you doing?
00:32:50I thought you were hurt.
00:32:51I think I'll pull through.
00:32:58Preston, what are you doing?
00:32:59I've always wanted to.
00:33:01Come on.
00:33:02I know you want this.
00:33:02I see the way you look at me.
00:33:04How did Daniel's gone?
00:33:05I have the house to herself.
00:33:07I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:33:09What am I doing?
00:33:19Daniel is still injured.
00:33:20He should be home.
00:33:21I said get off.
00:33:34I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:33:41Forget about him.
00:33:42Look.
00:33:43I love Jackson.
00:33:44And 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.
00:33:51Your mother.
00:33:52Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:33:54What?
00:33:55Look.
00:33:56He's already moved on.
00:33:58No.
00:34:00No.
00:34:01What have I done?
00:34:02Where is he?
00:34:03What about me?
00:34:04You had a chance ten years ago.
00:34:07I need to go take care of my husband.
00:34:08Hello?
00:34:15Excuse me.
00:34:16Excuse me.
00:34:17Hi.
00:34:17Have you seen my husband?
00:34:19Please.
00:34:20He was someone bleeding out.
00:34:21I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:34:24He didn't come back in, though.
00:34:29Dan, where are you?
00:34:30I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:34:34Please try again.
00:34:36Oh, my God.
00:34:45Come on, Daniel.
00:34:47Answer me.
00:34:52He's not gone.
00:34:54I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:35:00He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:35:06No.
00:35:09It's not possible.
00:35:11He will be back.
00:35:13No.
00:35:23Boy, it's all that sucks.
00:35:25I'm Zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:35:27He waves all spousal support.
00:35:29No.
00:35:30No, he can't leave me.
00:35:31He can't do this to me.
00:35:33I won't sign off on him.
00:35:42No.
00:35:43All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:35:58It can't be.
00:35:59It's not her.
00:36:02Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:36:03My mom will look it over anyways.
00:36:05He loves me.
00:36:07He loves Jackson.
00:36:09He wouldn't just leave us.
00:36:10We're his family.
00:36:11And after all these years, everything we've been through...
00:36:15I got you.
00:36:28I got you.
00:36:33I'll let him go.
00:36:35I'll let him go.
00:36:35I'll let him go.
00:36:35I'll let him go.
00:36:35Was I ever really paying attention?
00:36:41Daniel!
00:36:42No, it's Mom. Is everything okay?
00:36:44Mom!
00:36:46Mom!
00:36:48Daniel!
00:36:49He just left us!
00:36:51Do you know where he is?
00:36:53We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:36:56Oh, honey. It'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.
00:37:05I'm hungry!
00:37:12Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:37:15Jackson?
00:37:17I have something to tell you.
00:37:20Your dad...
00:37:23Your dad...
00:37:25He's left us.
00:37:27I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:37:29Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:37:31Why would you say that?
00:37:33He was so embarrassing! Even 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!
00:37:50Jackson!
00:37:51You have a dad!
00:37:53And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:37:55Yeah, but I hate him!
00:38:02Hello?
00:38:03Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:38:04Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:38:06I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:38:08I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:38:09Large sums 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.
00:38:20Jackson, 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.
00:38:26Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:38:29And we need to find him at all costs.
00:38:32What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:38:34Huh?
00:38:35It's despicable.
00:38:36I can't do this anymore.
00:38:38I cancel everything.
00:38:40The 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.
00:38:47Honey, it'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.
00:38:57What?
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.
00:39:04He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:39:08But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:39:11Thanks, 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 the contract.
00:39:19Contract?
00:39:21What contract?
00:39:25What are you talking about?
00:39:27Forget it.
00:39:28Forget it.
00:39:29Forget it.
00:39:30Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:39:31When 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.
00:39:38I just want the truth.
00:39:39Ma.
00:39:41Fine.
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.
00:39:53When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:39:58I had to save you.
00:40:00She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:40:03You've always been there for her.
00:40:04From film school to now.
00:40:06I've seen it.
00:40:08She needs you.
00:40:09Stay.
00:40:10Marry her.
00:40:11Love her.
00:40:12So that she's never alone again.
00:40:14It 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.
00:40:29Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:40:34You 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, he can't be gone. He can't.
00:40:54Yes, he is gone and he is gone forever.
00:40:57He can't be. He can't be gone again.
00:41:12I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame Silverpuffs.
00:41:20That's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer, director.
00:41:25Speaking of which, there he is now.
00:41:26This is Daniel Johnson.
00:41:30Daniel, your film received a palm door 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, how uncomfortable these shoes would be.
00:41:42I've heard this talk of the sequel.
00:41:44Yeah, my career's been a long time in the making.
00:41:47And 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.
00:41:54And I feel like I found my voice, and it really is.
00:41:57Full steam ahead.
00:41:58Speaking of London, since you're an American writer director,
00:42:00will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:42:04Hollywood.
00:42:06Get out of the country.
00:42:07If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:42:11I will make your life a living hell.
00:42:15Daniel?
00:42:24He'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,
00:42:33and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:42:36That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:42:38a two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress
00:42:40and 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, thanks for saying that.
00:42:52She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:42:54I know, jeez.
00:42:55This is so surreal.
00:42:56I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:42:58I can.
00:42:59The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:43:03Daniel, enjoy this.
00:43:06And get used to compliments.
00:43:07There's already Oscar buzz.
00:43:09Fuck.
00:43:10Finish me, I know.
00:43:11I'd rather dream it.
00:43:14You okay?
00:43:15You always do that when you're nervous.
00:43:16Yeah, it's, um...
00:43:18We'll have it.
00:43:19Well,
00:43:20the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:43:23Someone else just got a head start.
00:43:35All press is good press.
00:43:36Daniel becomes an award-winning director?
00:43:41And he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:43:46You 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?
00:43:53Move 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.
00:44:11Look at what you've got.
00:44:13A celebrated career.
00:44:14A mansion in the hills.
00:44:16An adorable kid.
00:44:17Melanie's not whining.
00:44:19And don't forget about Preston.
00:44:20Your dream man.
00:44:22You have everything.
00:44:23I don't.
00:44:24Have.
00:44:25Him.
00:44:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:44:27Go have the chef make something.
00:44:28No, I hate what she cooks.
00:44:29And 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!
00:44:36Preston is my real dad now.
00:44:37Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:44:40It was fun telling him what to do.
00:44:42When 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.
00:44:50Daniel's a doormat.
00:44:51Enough!
00:44:52Just enough!
00:44:53Sabrina?
00:44:54What's gotten into you?
00:44:55Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:44:56Whoa.
00:44:57What's going on here?
00:44:58This room feels really tense.
00:44:59Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:45:00I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:45:01No.
00:45:02I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:45:03And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a time-out.
00:45:05It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:45:06Hey, are you really gonna get mad at Chad?
00:45:08No?
00:45:09I'm not gonna lie.
00:45:10I'm not gonna lie.
00:45:11I'm not gonna lie.
00:45:12I'm not gonna lie.
00:45:13I'm just gonna lie.
00:45:14I'm not gonna lie.
00:45:15I'm not gonna lie.
00:45:16I'm not gonna lie.
00:45:17I'm not gonna lie.
00:45:18Hey, are you really gonna get mad at Jackson for what?
00:45:22Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:45:23Really?
00:45:24Loser?
00:45:25Yeah.
00:45:26You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:45:28And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:45:32That'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.
00:45:43We'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.
00:45:53I 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.
00:46:04I want to marry you.
00:46:05We're legacy.
00:46:06Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:46:07Where's my birthday?
00:46:08Huh?
00:46:09What 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?
00:46:28I'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.
00:46:35Please.
00:46:36Please, I love you.
00:46:37Just 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.
00:46:44Get out.
00:46:45Now.
00:46:46Just give me your hand.
00:46:47Come on.
00:46:48No.
00:46:49I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:46:50Nobody sees the real people.
00:46:52I see you, Sabrina.
00:46:53I see all of you.
00:46:54And you're never gonna 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.
00:47:06He truly loved me.
00:47:08I saved you from social suicide.
00:47:09Saved me?
00:47:10I 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.
00:47:17Security!
00:47:18Security!
00:47:19Just let's talk about this.
00:47:20No.
00:47:21Come on.
00:47:22Celeste, do something!
00:47:23Sabrina!
00:47:24Warren, Sabrina!
00:47:25Was that really necessary?
00:47:26I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:47:29Is that all you care about?
00:47:30The fame?
00:47:31The headlines?
00:47:32The brand deals?
00:47:33God!
00:47:34You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:47:36Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:47:38Of course I care about you.
00:47:39I love you.
00:47:40Then, truly, I love you.
00:47:42I love you.
00:47:43I love you.
00:47:44I love you.
00:47:45I love you.
00:47:47I love you.
00:47:48Then prove it.
00:47:49If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:48:04You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:48:06I'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.
00:48:17You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:48:19I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm feeling all right.
00:48:21I got a project.
00:48:22Come on!
00:48:23You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made
00:48:26in 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?
00:48:34If 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've given me a lot to think about.
00:48:45Three picture deal.
00:48:46200 million dollar 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.
00:48:57You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:49:08Hey, 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?
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 little 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.
00:49:48It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:49:51Mom, what are you doing?
00:49:56Did you just break my TV?
00:49:58Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:50:00You know what I'm supposed to do?
00:50:02You guys are kind of.
00:50:03Um, it's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
00:50:06He's back.
00:50:09Why didn't you tell me?
00:50:11Honey, I can want you spiraling again.
00:50:13I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:50:15I need to get on that movie.
00:50:17Absolutely not.
00:50:18You'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.
00:50:24I'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.
00:50:32Him.
00:50:33Go.
00:50:34Mom.
00:50:36Honey, I...
00:50:38You 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...
00:50:52It's another movie deal.
00:50:53I'll tell you about it after.
00:50:54Okay.
00:50:55Okay.
00:50:56Did you get his location?
00:50:57The Oaks.
00:50:588 p.m.
00:50:59After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
00:51:01He'll be erased from Supreme's life forever.
00:51:03Okay.
00:51:04I'll tell you about it after.
00:51:05Okay.
00:51:06I'll tell you about it after.
00:51:07Okay.
00:51:08Okay.
00:51:09Did you get his location?
00:51:10The Oaks.
00:51:118 p.m.
00:51:12After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
00:51:15It will be erased from Supreme's life forever.
00:51:25She's not protecting me.
00:51:26She's protecting her business.
00:51:28I'm just a pawn.
00:51:30But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
00:51:34So nice having you back.
00:51:36And I don't just mean from the UK.
00:51:37Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
00:51:39A couple?
00:51:40Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
00:51:43If you can even call them that.
00:51:44You're healthy now.
00:51:45And I'm at the top of my career.
00:51:46I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make
00:51:51it work.
00:51:52The marriage, the kids.
00:51:53I mean, we really tried.
00:51:54I thought we could make it go for it, but, um, it's over.
00:51:58It's over.
00:51:59I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks breasts and you switch 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.
00:52:16Oh, my God.
00:52:17What?
00:52:18Daniel!
00:52:19Stop!
00:52:20Sabrina, what are you doing here?
00:52:21I'm here to help you.
00:52:22Sabrina, you're making a scene.
00:52:23Let's go home.
00:52:24Sabrina.
00:52:25How could you?
00:52:26What?
00:52:27I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
00:52:28I begged and pleaded.
00:52:29I begged and pleaded.
00:52:30Stop lying.
00:52:31I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
00:52:33And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
00:52:34Oh, my God.
00:52:35You're disgusting.
00:52:36I'm a manager, Daniel.
00:52:37Not anymore.
00:52:38Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
00:52:39I don't even know who you are anymore.
00:52:40I'm your mother.
00:52:41I only want what's best for you.
00:52:42What's best for you?
00:52:43What's best for you?
00:52:44I 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.
00:52:50And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin
00:52:54him.
00:52:55Oh, my God.
00:52:56You're disgusting.
00:52:57I'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.
00:53:10What's best for me?
00:53:12You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
00:53:17That all ends today.
00:53:20You're fired.
00:53:23Fired.
00:53:24No.
00:53:25No.
00:53:26No.
00:53:27You can't do this to me.
00:53:32Please, please, sweetie.
00:53:34I have dedicated my life to you.
00:53:35You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
00:53:38I 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.
00:53:51I think she'll do just fine.
00:53:54We'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.
00:54:08I have something to say.
00:54:20I'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.
00:54:27I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
00:54:33Apologize to your father.
00:54:36Do I have to?
00:54:38Who raised you?
00:54:40Cared for you?
00:54:41Packed your lunches when I was on set?
00:54:44Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
00:54:48He did.
00:54:49He loved you.
00:54:50But you treated him like he was nothing.
00:54:52I was wrong.
00:54:53Jackson, 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.
00:55:01I'm sorry, Dad.
00:55:03It's gonna be okay, son.
00:55:06I still love you.
00:55:08Okay.
00:55:09Come on, Jackson.
00:55:10Let's go.
00:55:11I'm sorry, Daniel.
00:55:17For every day.
00:55:27I know that look, Daniel.
00:55:29You're thinking of going back to them.
00:55:31I 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.
00:55:42People can change, but that doesn't change the past.
00:55:49And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:55:54Daniel!
00:55:55Daniel!
00:55:56Daniel!
00:55:57Daniel!
00:55:58Daniel!
00:55:59Daniel, is it true that the script got one new Oscars for both writing and directing
00:56:01sat on a shelf for ten years?
00:56:03Yeah.
00:56:04I'll admit I got a little sideline, but I think I found my way back.
00:56:08But, okay.
00:56:09I'll tell you this.
00:56:10I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
00:56:16Way to go, John!
00:56:17Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
00:56:19We'll keep it done.
00:56:21What?
00:56:22How many money we have today?
00:56:2340.
00:56:24Sorry.
00:56:25Geez.
00:56:26I'm sorry.
00:56:27I'm sorry.
00:56:28I'm sorry.
00:56:29I'm sorry.
00:56:30How are you doing?
00:56:31I'm sorry.
00:56:32I'm sorry.
00:56:33I'm sorry.
00:56:34How did I go?
00:56:35How did I go, John?
00:56:36I'm good at you.
00:56:37What did I go, John?
00:56:39I'm good at you.
00:56:40I'm so glad I got you.
00:56:43Hey, I'm so glad I got you out of time.
00:56:45What?
00:56:46I hope you didn't do that.
00:56:49So big admit, um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
00:56:53I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
00:56:56All right, here's the deal.
00:56:57The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
00:57:00Today? Are you fucking kidding me?
00:57:02That's why I love you, man. Cool under pressure.
00:57:04This movie is going to blow the roof off.
00:57:09Oh, my God. All right, just bring in the next one.
00:57:11So that would be Emily Blake.
00:57:16Emily.
00:57:19Emily. Amazing, as always.
00:57:23You flew in all the way from London for this?
00:57:26Please. I was going to miss a shot.
00:57:28You watched it for the great Daniel Johnson.
00:57:30How's L.A. treating you?
00:57:32Oh, my God.
00:57:33Less tea, but way more traffic.
00:57:35But I am... I'm glad to be back.
00:57:38Well, it's no English countryside.
00:57:39Yeah.
00:57:40But it suits you.
00:57:43You definitely belong here.
00:57:46I do miss you, though. It was fun.
00:57:49Playing the part.
00:57:50British 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.
00:58:00I'm sorry, Emily.
00:58:02It just cost me, and we'll call it 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?
00:58:14Anyways.
00:58:15Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
00:58:17Maybe I'll see you around.
00:58:19Yeah.
00:58:19Give me coffee, and you know what?
00:58:30Go get one for yourself, too.
00:58:33Happy dinners with the sugar.
00:58:34Oh, my God.
00:58:40What am I gonna do?
00:58:46That was quick.
00:58:47What are you doing here?
00:58:58I came to audition.
00:59:01Did you bring your representation?
00:59:03No.
00:59:04I fired my manager, remember?
00:59:06I'm starting fresh.
00:59:08Wait, um...
00:59:10Hi.
00:59:12I was Rena Donovan.
00:59:16Don't let me go!
00:59:17I got you.
00:59:18I'll never let you go.
00:59:21Are you okay?
00:59:22Yeah.
00:59:23It's an old wound that, um...
00:59:25never really healed.
00:59:27I understand.
00:59:31Daniel Johnson.
00:59:34Nice to meet you.
00:59:37Please.
00:59:40I'll be right.
00:59:45I'll be right.
00:59:45I'll be right.
00:59:45I'll be right.
01:00:10I'll be right.
01:00:37I'll be right.
01:00:38I'll be right.
01:00:38You
