00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:07That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:33Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:44Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son.
00:01:00But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:22You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:25She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:37And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:58What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh!
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:18Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:25Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait?
00:02:28I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:41I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:49Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:51But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:02:55You always know the spot.
00:03:08He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please.
00:03:11I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:16I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food! I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets!
00:03:30You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them!
00:03:36Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:40You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:44I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:58And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough. Just enough.
00:04:05I want a divorce.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:22Huh?
00:04:23I want a...
00:04:27I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously?
00:04:43Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:46I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:49What is this?
00:04:51Another contract?
00:04:52How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:56It's not a...
00:04:57Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:58It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:02Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:05I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:10Pull my weight?
00:05:11Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Mwah! Love you.
00:05:16I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:20If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:23Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:28The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:36We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:38I can't.
00:05:39My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:41After all I've sacrificed,
00:05:43my scripts,
00:05:44my career,
00:05:45my future,
00:05:46we're all pushed aside.
00:05:49At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:52I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:56Hey, Mom.
00:05:56How you doing?
00:05:57Oh, good, dear.
00:05:58I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:03Do you need more?
00:06:04No, no, no, no.
00:06:04You've already done so much.
00:06:07I'm just trying to help.
00:06:08I know,
00:06:09but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:13I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done,
00:06:17but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:20I am, Mom.
00:06:22And I promise,
00:06:25very soon,
00:06:26everything's going to change.
00:06:30That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:34Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:36I gotta go.
00:06:37Love you.
00:06:40What is it, Mom?
00:06:42Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:50Preston Eastwood,
00:06:54the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:56and is stealing it back again.
00:07:01Preston Eastwood,
00:07:02the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:10All right, cut.
00:07:11That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:14We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:17Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:20I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:24Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:27If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:31The man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:36Me and her sister.
00:07:36The man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:38She's a little bit strong.
00:07:38It's a little bit too.
00:07:40The man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:40She was a kid.
00:07:40It destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:06Sabrina, don't!
00:08:21Stay back.
00:08:23I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:28Just...
00:08:31Just give me your hand.
00:08:36No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:47I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:49Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:54I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:00Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:05I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:09Good to see ya!
00:09:18Oh my gosh!
00:09:19How long has it been?
00:09:20Oh, too long!
00:09:21Look at you!
00:09:22Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:26Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:27Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:28Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel.
00:09:30Uh, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:33Oh, there he is!
00:09:35The assistant!
00:09:36I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:40How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:44Stop!
00:09:45I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:52Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:55Daniel!
00:09:56Oh.
00:09:57Don't embarrass me.
00:09:58No, it's fine.
00:09:59Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you think, you know?
00:10:07My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it. He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:11Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of Dad's rules. What do you say, huh?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20That's fine. That's fine. Just relax, okay? Be nice.
00:10:34Some people never change.
00:10:36But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:43Yeah, it's nice. But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:10:55Oh, careful. You alright?
00:10:57I'm still starving. Make me some food.
00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:07Ew. What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:09I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:12Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:15I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21Oh, babe. For real?
00:11:24Yeah. My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:28Donovan Cosmetics. Rich.
00:11:32Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:35I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:40See, Daniel, that was always your problem. You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:43You realize that's why no one bought your scripts. They were so dull.
00:11:46Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:49Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant? My treat.
00:11:58Here we go.
00:11:59What?
00:12:00Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:03All of you insist. I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:12:15Anyways.
00:12:16Come on, man. Let's go.
00:12:18Let's go.
00:12:19Got you. There we go.
00:12:21Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:24You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time. I promise.
00:12:29You're right. It is the last time.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
00:12:36Hi.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:38Jackson.
00:12:45Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:50It's over.
00:12:52Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:56I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:00After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:05Why would Celeste invite me here? She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:26Sabrina Donovan? I could scream. I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:32Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:36OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:40A scene that I wrote. Uncredited, of course. Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:45Wait. Are you two dating?
00:13:47Oh, well, actually.
00:13:48This is totally a date.
00:13:50All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:58Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:00You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:02Your brand?
00:14:03It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:05You get it, right?
00:14:15So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18It's okay, babe. We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:21This is so going viral. I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:33It looks like more than dating. Is this your son?
00:14:37I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:39Don't be silly. You have a dad and he's a sissy.
00:14:43That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:45He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:48But Preston is awesome.
00:14:51He's an action spy.
00:14:53I wish he was my dad.
00:14:54My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:58But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:15:00when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party
00:15:03with a call girl.
00:15:04It's okay, buddy.
00:15:05Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:07If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:10That is if Mom's cool with it.
00:15:12Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:14Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:16Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:18Come on, let's get Michelle.
00:15:38Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:43I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top,
00:15:47and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:52Daniel!
00:15:54You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:56From the sound of it,
00:15:57your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:00Daniel, he's here.
00:16:01Did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:04Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:05I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:06I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:08Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:09Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:16:11Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:13Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:15Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:17Jackson, enough.
00:16:20What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then.
00:16:23Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:25I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,
00:16:27with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:31You're really good at that.
00:16:33Ooh!
00:16:34I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:37A one-way ticket,
00:16:39so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over,
00:16:45but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:48I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me.
00:16:52He has to understand.
00:16:53This is Hollywood.
00:16:54It's just part of the job.
00:16:56Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:05Daniel, what is this?
00:17:08I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:10All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:13Are you going somewhere?
00:17:15Honey!
00:17:16Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:18We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:21Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:23A vacation?
00:17:24Finally.
00:17:25You're paying attention.
00:17:27Yeah.
00:17:28I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:30Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:32What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:33Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:35That's not what I meant.
00:17:36Whoa!
00:17:37Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:39That's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:43Just like any good husband would.
00:17:45Oh, I see.
00:17:47Is it me?
00:17:48Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:50I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:52I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:54You know what?
00:17:55Maybe I should go.
00:17:56I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:58No, please stay.
00:17:59I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:02No, you know what?
00:18:03I'll go.
00:18:05And clearly she wants you.
00:18:07I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:08Daniel, wait.
00:18:11I won't ever let you go.
00:18:13He won't leave.
00:18:14He promised.
00:18:15It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:17We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:20I'm gonna go back.
00:18:24Daniel!
00:18:28Please.
00:18:29Better than yours.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:32Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:34Oh!
00:18:36Oh, good.
00:18:37You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:43It's fun.
00:18:45What?
00:18:46Don't look at me like that.
00:18:47I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:50Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:54How lucky for him.
00:18:56He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:59Oh, Daniel.
00:19:00Whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:03Listen, man.
00:19:05I've had every opportunity to sleep with her.
00:19:07And nothing happened.
00:19:08You can trust me.
00:19:11Preston, I think you're absolutely wrong.
00:19:14You need to go right now.
00:19:15Alright.
00:19:18Daniel, seriously.
00:19:19Listen, man.
00:19:21When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:26I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:19:29Just ignore him.
00:19:30He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:32No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:36Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:38Jealous?
00:19:40My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:43Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:48You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:51That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:00Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:05My God.
00:20:07God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:09Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:16No, it's not like that.
00:20:18I...
00:20:20What?
00:20:22You know what? Fine.
00:20:25You two look great together.
00:20:27Daniel, I...
00:20:39And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:46Um...
00:20:50I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:54Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:59I was never the homemaker.
00:21:04Please, Daniel.
00:21:09I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:24If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:28I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:30I can't miss.
00:21:42Look at her now.
00:21:44Playing house for another man.
00:21:46If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:01There you go.
00:22:07There he is.
00:22:09God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:12No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:15Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:19Got some.
00:22:21What do you need?
00:22:22Oh, oh.
00:22:23Yeah, there you go.
00:22:24I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:26I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:27Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:29Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:34Hey, uh...
00:22:36You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:40You're not?
00:22:42A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:44Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:47It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:02What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:04Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:06I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:09And it's unfair!
00:23:11That's a shame, huh? You know what?
00:23:12Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:14Here we go.
00:23:16No, it's...
00:23:18Not to play with that.
00:23:20You never let me do anything!
00:23:23Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:26You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:28It's not about the money.
00:23:29It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:32Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:23:34Bad examples.
00:23:36Yeah?
00:23:37What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:39You're so annoying!
00:23:41Don't...
00:23:42Push.
00:23:47I said don't push.
00:23:49Go get a book or something.
00:23:50Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:52He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:23:55You're not the house.
00:23:56You just shot me.
00:24:00Call it a lesson.
00:24:01I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:02He's not your kid.
00:24:04I wish I was.
00:24:05I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:09I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:11Ouch.
00:24:12I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:24:14So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:17Maybe it will be.
00:24:18But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:21You?
00:24:23Man of the house?
00:24:24Please.
00:24:25You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:26I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:30You're a washed up pack!
00:24:31Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:33How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:36I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:38I'm a fucking star!
00:24:40A star?
00:24:41A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:44Jackson, come on.
00:24:45I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:47No, I'm not going!
00:24:48Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:50Preston!
00:24:51Preston!
00:24:52Preston!
00:25:15You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:19What was that?
00:25:20What's going on?
00:25:24Daniel!
00:25:27What is happening?
00:25:29It was Dad, Mom!
00:25:30Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:32What?
00:25:33You're so scared!
00:25:34It got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:36What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:37I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:38I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:40What?
00:25:41I didn't?
00:25:42Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:43You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:45I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:48It's just a fucking fish tank!
00:25:50Grow up!
00:25:51Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:53What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:56What?
00:25:57Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:00Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:02No!
00:26:03Oh my God!
00:26:05He's lying!
00:26:07You're a monster!
00:26:09And in front of your son?
00:26:10You have to be kidding.
00:26:11We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:15We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:17Come on.
00:26:18Clean this up!
00:26:21Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:25She's mine now, loser.
00:26:27Hello?
00:26:289-1-1.
00:26:29What's your emergency?
00:26:30I'm bleeding out.
00:26:31I think I hit an artery.
00:26:32I need an ambulance now.
00:26:33Now!
00:26:34Now!
00:26:35You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:26:41with liquids.
00:26:42To be honest, I could use a break from home.
00:26:44Trouble with the misses?
00:26:46Uh...
00:26:48Uh...
00:26:49Yeah.
00:26:50Yeah.
00:26:51Pretty obvious.
00:26:52Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:26:53I shouldn't be sick.
00:26:54I shouldn't be sick.
00:26:55I shouldn't be sick.
00:26:56I'm sick.
00:26:57I'm sick.
00:26:58I'm sick.
00:26:59I'm sick.

00:27:04Now.
00:27:05Now.
00:27:06Now.
00:27:07You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:08So we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.
00:27:09To be honest, that's...
00:27:10I could use a break from home.
00:27:11Trouble with the misses?

00:40:54Excuse me.
00:40:55Hi.
00:40:55Have you seen my husband?
00:40:58Please, he was someone bleeding out.
00:41:00I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:04He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:06I don't know.
00:41:09Come on, Daniel.
00:41:10Where are you?
00:41:11I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:41:15Please try again later.
00:41:18What have I done?
00:41:19What have I done?
00:41:19Come on, Daniel.
00:41:30Answer me.
00:41:37He's not gone.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:41He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:54No.
00:41:57It's not possible.
00:41:59He will be back.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03No.

00:42:14No.
00:42:16No.
00:42:21No.
00:42:22leave me. He can't do this to me. I won't sign off on him.
00:42:36No! All this time, he's gonna leave me?
00:42:52It can't be.
00:42:58It's not a... Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:03He loves me. He loves Jackson. He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.
00:43:11After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:43:22I got you.
00:43:37Don't let me go!
00:43:40Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:46Daniel!
00:43:47No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? You sound panicked.
00:43:50Mom!
00:43:52Mom!
00:43:54Daniel! He just left us!
00:43:58Do you know where he is?
00:44:01We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:04Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:09You knew?
00:44:11I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:13I'm hungry! Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:26Taxon?
00:44:27I have something to tell you.
00:44:32Your dad...
00:44:36Your dad...
00:44:38He's left us.
00:44:41I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:43Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:44Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:46Why would you say that?
00:44:48He was so embarrassing! Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:51Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:53What did Preston say?
00:44:55He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets than raising a young man.
00:45:00He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone! Mr. Eastwood is way cooler! He can be my new dad!
00:45:09Jackson! You have a dad! And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:14Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:23Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:26Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:30I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:32Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:44Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again. Okay?
00:45:49He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:51Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:55And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:58What kind of coward abandons his family? Huh? It's despicable.
00:46:03I can't do this anymore. I cancel everything.
00:46:08The interviews and the red carpets. I don't want to be seen. I can't pretend.
00:46:14I just want him back.
00:46:16Oh, honey. It's time to let him go.
00:46:20You don't love him anyway. And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:26What?
00:46:28How could you say something like that? Of course I love Daniel. He cares for me. He sees me. He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:40But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:44Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.
00:46:48Yeah, some husband. Abandoning you without a moment's notice. Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:46:54Contract? What contract?
00:46:58What are you talking about?
00:47:04Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:08When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:13Is there something you're not telling me? Please. I just want the truth. Ma.
00:47:20Fine. I will tell you the truth. But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:26I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina. But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:38When Preston left you, you were distraught. I had to save you.
00:47:43She's lost without you, Daniel. You've always been there for her. From film school to now. I've seen it.
00:47:51She needs you. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she's never alone again.
00:48:04It was all just some sort of obligation? How could you do this to me?
00:48:11I wanted to protect you.
00:48:13You wanted to control me. All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:18Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:21You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop. Daniel did what he was meant to do. He kept you together.
00:48:31Where? Where did he go? I know he told you where he went. Where is he?
00:48:37You can do better than him. You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet. Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:44No. He can't be gone. He can't. Yes. He is gone. And he is gone forever. He can't be. He can't be gone. He can't.
00:48:54He can't be gone forever. He can't be done so quickly. He can't be done yet.
00:49:03I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How To Tame A Silver Fox. That's already generated a considerable buzz for it's new writer-director.
00:49:09I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already
00:49:19generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:25Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:31Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:35What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:36Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:41Nobody told me how.
00:49:43Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:45I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:48Yeah, my career has been a long time in the making and I've been very honest about it actually.
00:49:55I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:57But London, London lit the fire under me and I feel like I found my voice and it really is.
00:50:04Full steam ahead.
00:50:04Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:12Hollywood.
00:50:14Get out of the country.
00:50:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:50:25Daniel?
00:50:26He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:43Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:50That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:02We'll never tell.
00:51:03Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:51:09She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:11I know, jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal.
00:51:14I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:16I can.
00:51:17The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:22Daniel, enjoy this.
00:51:24And get used to compliments.
00:51:28There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:29Fuck.
00:51:30Finish me, I know.
00:51:31I feel like I'm drinking.
00:51:35You okay?
00:51:36You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:38I know, it's um...
00:51:40We'll have it.
00:51:41Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:51:46Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:54I know.
00:52:00All press is good press.
00:52:06Daniel becomes an award-winning director?
00:52:09And he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:14He can't do this to me!
00:52:16Sabrina.
00:52:17You don't need him.
00:52:18Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:20How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:23Move on?
00:52:24Please, honey.
00:52:26He is using her.
00:52:28Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:31He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:34How could you say that?
00:52:35I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:39He's proving that to the whole world!
00:52:42Don't you see it?
00:52:42Sabrina.
00:52:44Look at what you've got.
00:52:46A celebrated career.
00:52:47A mansion in the hills.
00:52:49An adorable kid.
00:52:51Well, when he's not whining.
00:52:53And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:54Your dream man.
00:52:56You have everything.
00:52:58Like, don't have him.
00:53:01Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:02Go have the chef make something.
00:53:04No, I hate what she cooks.
00:53:06And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:07Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:09Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:11He's your dad.
00:53:12No!
00:53:13Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:15Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:18It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:20When did he get so cruel?
00:53:22You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:26A doormat.
00:53:27Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:31Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:31Enough!
00:53:32You little shit!
00:53:35Enough!
00:53:36Just enough!
00:53:38Sabrina?
00:53:39What's gotten into you?
00:53:41Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:44Whoa.
00:53:45What's going on here?
00:53:47This room feels really tense.
00:53:48Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:50I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:52No!
00:53:53I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:56And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:59It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:05Hey, babe.
00:54:07Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:54:09Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:11Really?
00:54:11Loser?
00:54:12Yeah.
00:54:13You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:16And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:22That's really, really low.
00:54:27Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year?
00:54:32Come on.
00:54:33We're America's power couple.
00:54:34To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:38Face it, Preston.
00:54:39You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:42And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:45Yeah.
00:54:45I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:46You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:49I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:52Because you know what?
00:54:53Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:54It's not like that.
00:54:56Okay?
00:54:56Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:54:59I want to marry you.
00:55:01We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:03What's my birthday?
00:55:05Huh?
00:55:06What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:07What's my favorite color?
00:55:09My favorite song?
00:55:10Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:13Oh, oh, wait.
00:55:14What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:15You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:18You don't love me.
00:55:20You don't even know me.
00:55:21This isn't a relationship.
00:55:23This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:26And you know what?
00:55:27I'm done.
00:55:28Get out.
00:55:29I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:33We're over.
00:55:34No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:36Please.
00:55:36Please, I love you.
00:55:37Just think about it.
00:55:39Look at the press.
00:55:40What this will look like.
00:55:41If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:45Get out.
00:55:46Babe, just.
00:55:47Now.
00:55:48Just give me your hand.
00:55:49Come on.
00:55:49No.
00:55:50I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:53Nobody sees the real thing.
00:55:55I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:57I see all of you.
00:55:59And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:02He truly knew me.
00:56:06He loved me.
00:56:07Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:56:15I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:17Saved me?
00:56:18You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:21Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:23And he saved me from you.
00:56:27Security.
00:56:29Security.
00:56:30Come on.
00:56:30Just let's talk about this.
00:56:32No.
00:56:33Come on.
00:56:34Celeste, do something.
00:56:35Sabrina.
00:56:37Mark, let's bring it up.
00:56:39Was that really necessary?
00:56:41I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:45Is that all you care about?
00:56:47The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:56:50God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:56Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:56:59Of course I care about you.
00:57:01I love you.
00:57:03Then prove it.
00:57:04If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:09You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:23I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:25In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:30I mean, you know this.
00:57:32You're a legend.
00:57:34I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:35All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:37You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:39I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:41I got projects.
00:57:42Come on.
00:57:43You're built for billion dollar franchises.
00:57:45Hollywood blockbusters.
00:57:47The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:57:49That's where you belong.
00:57:50To be honest, I already did all right.
00:57:54It didn't really end well.
00:57:55Let me guess.
00:57:56A girl?
00:57:57If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:02You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:05You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:09You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:10Three picture deal.
00:58:12200 million dollar budget each.
00:58:13Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:16I don't know what to say.
00:58:17Did I just say yes?
00:58:18You have my number.
00:58:19Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:21Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:23You can't run away from the past.
00:58:24You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:38Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:41Can we talk?
00:58:42Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:47Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:52Is this a personal story where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:57Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:02I'll leave it at that.
00:59:03You arrogant little shit.
00:59:09I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:18It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:19I need a favor.
00:59:20I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:25It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:31Mom?
00:59:32What are you doing?
00:59:36Did you just break my TV?
00:59:38Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:41You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:43You've been so kind, though.
00:59:45It's called You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:47He's back.
00:59:52Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:54Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:57I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:59:59I need to get on that movie.
01:00:01Absolutely not.
01:00:03You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:04If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:07Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:10He still loves me.
01:00:13He has to.
01:00:14I just need to talk to him.
01:00:17Let him go.
01:00:21Mom.
01:00:23Honey, I...
01:00:24You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:28I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:35I love you, too.
01:00:38Here we go.
01:00:41This is, um...
01:00:42It's another movie deal.
01:00:43Well, I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:45Okay.
01:01:00Did you get his location?
01:01:02The Oaks.
01:01:048 p.m.
01:01:05After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:10He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:12She's not protecting me.
01:01:23She's protecting her business.
01:01:25And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:27But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:30It's so nice having you back.
01:01:34And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:36Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:38A couple?
01:01:39Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:43If you can even call them that.
01:01:45But you're healthy now.
01:01:46And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:48I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:01:50I love Sabrina, but...
01:01:51I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:53The marriage, the kids.
01:01:55I mean, we really tried.
01:01:57I thought I could make it go for it, but...
01:02:00It's over.
01:02:02It's over.
01:02:03I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood can offer.
01:02:14Oh.
01:02:15You haven't heard?
01:02:16She dumped him.
01:02:19It was all over People magazine.
01:02:21She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:24Oh my God.
01:02:25What?
01:02:31Daniel!
01:02:34Stop!
01:02:42Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:44I'm here to help you.
01:02:46Sabrina.
01:02:48You're making a scene.
01:02:49Let's go home.
01:02:50Sabrina.
01:02:51How could you?
01:02:52What?
01:02:52I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:56I begged and pleaded.
01:02:58Stop lying.
01:02:59I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:03And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:09My God.
01:03:10You're disgusting.
01:03:11I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:13Not anymore.
01:03:13Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:19I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:22I'm your mother.
01:03:24I only want what's best for you.
01:03:27What's best for me?
01:03:28You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:35That all ends today.
01:03:39You're fired.
01:03:42Fired.
01:03:42No.
01:03:46No.
01:03:51No.
01:03:52You can't do this to me.
01:03:54Please.
01:03:55Please, sweetie.
01:03:55I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:57You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:02I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:04You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:07There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:11I made you.
01:04:12You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:14I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:25We're done here, Mom.
01:04:27If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:34Without another word.
01:04:35I have something to say.
01:04:49I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:52I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:55I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:04:59I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:09Apologize to your father.
01:05:11Do I have to?
01:05:13Who raised you?
01:05:15Cared for you?
01:05:18Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:21Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:25He did.
01:05:27He loved you.
01:05:27But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:30I was wrong.
01:05:31Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:36And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:41I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:45It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:47I still love you.
01:05:48Okay.
01:05:49Come on, Jackson.
01:05:50Let's go.
01:05:51Let's go.
01:05:57I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:00For everything.
01:06:10I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:13You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:15I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:19They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:22They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:29People can change.
01:06:31But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:34And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:45Daniel!
01:06:45Daniel!
01:06:46Daniel!
01:06:47I'm here, Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on the shelf for ten years?
01:06:54Yes.
01:06:54I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:00But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:04I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:13Way to go, John!
01:07:24Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:36We'll keep in touch.
01:07:43How many more do we have today?
01:07:44Forty.
01:07:45Sir.
01:07:45Jeez.
01:07:46Hey, boy!
01:07:47How are we looking?
01:07:49We're still digging.
01:07:50No one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:52I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:57All right, here's the deal.
01:07:58The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:02Today?
01:08:03Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:04That's why I love you, man.
01:08:05Cool under pressure.
01:08:07This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:08:12Oh, my God.
01:08:13All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:15But that would be Emily Blake.
01:08:21Emily.
01:08:22Amazing as always.
01:08:30You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:32Please.
01:08:34I wasn't going to miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnston.
01:08:38How's LA treating you?
01:08:40Oh, my God.
01:08:41Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:44But I am...
01:08:44I'm glad to be back.
01:08:47Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:49Yeah.
01:08:50But it suits you.
01:08:51You definitely belong here.
01:08:56I do miss you, though.
01:08:58It was fun.
01:08:59It was fun.
01:09:00Playing the part.
01:09:02British starlet.
01:09:03American director.
01:09:04I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:08I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:12I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:15Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:18You were amazing, as always.
01:09:20It's just...
01:09:21It's just...
01:09:22It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:27I never was, was I?
01:09:30Anyways.
01:09:31Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:34Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:35Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:50Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:53And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:00Oh, my God.
01:10:01What am I going to do?
01:10:05That was quick.
01:10:19What are you doing here?
01:10:22I came to audition.
01:10:26Did you bring any representation?
01:10:28No.
01:10:29I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:33I'm starting fresh.
01:10:34Right, um...
01:10:37Hi.
01:10:40I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:44Don't let me go!
01:10:45I got you.
01:10:46I'll never let you go.
01:10:50Are you okay?
01:10:51Yeah.
01:10:52It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:55never really healed.
01:10:58I understand.
01:10:59I understand.
01:10:59Daniel Johnson.
