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.
00:07:31Looks like she snows.
00:07:42I need to see a moment.
00:07:44Aw.
00:07:44Oh.
00:07:45Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:07:47Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:07:49Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
00:08:01He destroyed me.
00:08:03Rested.
00:08:05There's nothing left.
00:08:07Sabrina, don't!
00:08:21Stay back.
00:08:23I mean it.
00:08:25Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:28Just...
00:08:29Just give me your hand.
00:08:37Shh.
00:08:37Shh.
00:08:38Shh.
00:08:44No!
00:08:44Ah!
00:08:46Daniel!
00:08:48I got you.
00:08:49No!
00:08:50Don't let me go!
00:08:52I won't ever let you go.
00:08:58I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:02Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:17Good to see ya!
00:09:18Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, too long.
00:09:20Look at you!
00:09:21Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:25Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:26Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:28Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to 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!
00:10:00You played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough!
00:10:06You think, you know?
00:10:07My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:09He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:11Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of Dad's rules.
00:10:14What are you saying, huh?
00:10:15Yeah!
00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:19That's fine.
00:10:20That's fine.
00:10:21Just relax, okay?
00:10:22Be 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
00:10:41again.
00:10:42Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:44But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:10:47Ooh!
00:10:48Careful!
00:10:49You alright?
00:10:50I'm still starving!
00:10:51Make me some food!
00:10:52Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:10:53Stew?
00:10:54Ew.
00:10:55What is this?
00:10:56A soup kitchen?
00:10:57I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:10:58You know!
00:10:59If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets!
00:11:02I'm trying to teach my son how to eat.
00:11:03I'm trying to teach my son how to eat.
00:11:04You know?
00:11:05You know?
00:11:06You know?
00:11:07You know?
00:11:08You know?
00:11:09You know?
00:11:10You know?
00:11:11You know?
00:11:12You know?
00:11:13You know?
00:11:14You know?
00:11:15You know?
00:11:16Your son had to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21What?
00:11:22Well, babe.
00:11:23For real?
00:11:24Yeah!
00:11:25My makeup line took me all the way to the top!
00:11:28Donovan Cosmetics!
00:11:30I'm 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.
00:11:39See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:41You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:42You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:44They were so dull.
00:11:45Please, 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?
00:11:57My treat.
00:11:58There you go.
00:11:59What?
00:12:00Yeah.
00:12:01Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:03All of you insist.
00:12:04I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06So...
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:08Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:14So...
00:12:15Anyways!
00:12:16Come on, Ben.
00:12:17Let's go!
00:12:18Looks great.
00:12:19Gotcha.
00:12:20There we go.
00:12:21Oh!
00:12:22There's Paps.
00:12:24You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:30You're right.
00:12:31It is the last time.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
00:12:37Hi!
00:12:38Jackson.
00:12:44Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:51It's over.
00:12:53Why 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.
00:13:14Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:23She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:28Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:29I could scream.
00:13:30I'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.
00:13:40The scene that I wrote, uncredited of course, even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:45Wait, are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually, this 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?
00:14:04It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:06You get it, right?
00:14:10So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I-
00:14:18It's okay, babe.
00:14:19We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:30This is so going viral.
00:14:31I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:33It looks like more than dating.
00:14:35Is this your son?
00:14:36I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:39Don't be silly.
00:14:40You 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.
00:14:57But 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.
00:15:04It'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?
00:15:17Come on.
00:15:18Let's get Michelle.
00:15:20Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:24I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:26Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:37Daniel.
00:15:38Daniel.
00:15:39You know, you got a big deal.
00:15:40You got a big deal.
00:15:41I know.
00:15:42You're worth it.
00:15:43You're worth it.
00:15:44I know, but I know.
00:15:45I know.
00:15:46You're worth it.
00:15:47You're worth it.
00:15:48I know.
00:15:49You're worth it.
00:15:50You're worth it.
00:15:51You're worth it.
00:15:52You're worth it.
00:15:54You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:56From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:00Daniel, he's here? Did he see us? Is he looking over here?
00:16:04Fuck, that's not good. I was just doing that for publicity. I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:09Actually, it was perfect timing. Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:14Who cares about him, Mommy? Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:18Jackson, enough.
00:16:20What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then. Now I need to handle Sabrina. I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:29I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you. You're really good at that.
00:16:34Oh, I have a parting gift for you. A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans, I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:52Daniel loves me. He has to understand. This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:16:58Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:00Daniel, what is this?
00:17:08I can't let her create a public scene. All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:13Are you going somewhere?
00:17:16Honey, what a coincidence. We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation. Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:23A vacation?
00:17:24Finally. You're paying attention.
00:17:27Yeah. I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:30Well, thanks for telling your wife. What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:34Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:35That's not what I meant.
00:17:36Whoa. Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:40That's fine. Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit. Just like any good husband would.
00:17:45Oh, I see. Is it me? Is 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. You know what? Maybe I should go. I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:58No, please stay. I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:03No, you know what? I'll go. And clearly she wants you. I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:09Daniel, wait.
00:18:11I won't ever let you go.
00:18:13He won't leave. He promised. It doesn't have to be like this. We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:19I'm going to go back.
00:18:25Daniel!
00:18:28Oh, please.
00:18:29Better than yours.
00:18:31Yeah.
00:18:33Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:37Oh, good. You're up.
00:18:39Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:44It's fun.
00:18:46Why don't look at me like that? I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:50Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:54Well, but...
00:18:55How lucky for him.
00:18:56He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:58Oh, Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:03Listen, man, I...
00:19:04I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened. You can trust me.
00:19:11Preston, I think you're absolutely wrong. You need to go right now.
00:19:15All right.
00:19:16Oh, hey.
00:19:18Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:20I...
00:19:21I...
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.
00:19:30Just ignore him. He 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.
00:19:55That'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?
00:20:06My God.
00:20:08My God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:12Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:15No, it's not like that.
00:20:18I...
00:20:19What?
00:20:21You know what? Fine.
00:20:25You two look great together.
00:20:27Daniel, I...
00:20:27And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:43I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:55Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:59I was never the homemaker.
00:21:05Please, Daniel.
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:07Daniel?
00:21:07Daniel?
00:21:08Daniel?
00:21:08Daniel?
00:21:09Daniel?
00:21:10Daniel?
00:21:11Daniel?
00:21:12Daniel?
00:21:13Daniel?
00:21:18I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:25If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:28I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:43Look at her now, playing house for another man.
00:21:47If only she worked this hard at being a wife
00:21:49when it actually mattered.
00:22:06Hey, there he is.
00:22:09God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m., man.
00:22:12No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:15Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:17Hmm.
00:22:18Hmm.
00:22:19Got some.
00:22:20Yeah.
00:22:22What do you need? Oh, oh.
00:22:23Yeah, there you go.
00:22:24I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:27Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:29Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:35Hey, uh...
00:22:37You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:40You're not?
00:22:41A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:44Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:49It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:22:53What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:04Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:05I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:09And it's unfair!
00:23:10That's a shame, huh?
00:23:11You know what?
00:23:11Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:13Here we go.
00:23:14Ooh!
00:23:15No, it's not to play with that.
00:23:19You never let me do anything!
00:23:21Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:22You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:23It's not about the money.
00:23:24It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:25Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:26Yeah?
00:23:27What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:28You're so annoying!
00:23:30Don't push.
00:23:31I said don't push.
00:23:31Go get a book or something.
00:23:32Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:33He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:34What the hell is you just shot me?
00:23:35Call it a lesson.
00:23:36I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:23:37He's not.
00:23:38I mean, he's a Donovan.
00:23:39He's a Donovan.
00:23:40He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:44What the hell is he just shot me?
00:23:48Call it a lesson.
00:23:50I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:01I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:03He's not your kid.
00:24:04I wish I was.
00:24:06I 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 heard your son.
00:24:14So why don't you make this little vacay of yours permanent?
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.
00:24:29And you're a washed up pack.
00:24:32Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:34How 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.
00:24:49Preston's way cooler than you.
00:24:51Preston, Preston, Preston.
00:24:59You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:20What was that?
00:25:20Daniel, what is happening?
00:25:30It was Dad, Mom.
00:25:31Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:33What?
00:25:34You're so scared.
00:25:34You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:36What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:38I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:39I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:40What?
00:25:41I didn't?
00:25:42Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:44You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:46I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:48He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:49It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:25:51Grow up.
00:25:52Remember we're in the public eye?
00:25:54What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:56What?
00:25:57Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:01Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:03No.
00:26:03Oh, my God.
00:26:05He's lying.
00:26:07You're a monster.
00:26:09And in front of your son?
00:26:11You have to be kidding.
00:26:13We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:14Sure.
00:26:16We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:17I don't want to clean this up.
00:26:22Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:26She's mine now, loser.
00:26:28You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight.
00:26:58To pump you with liquid.
00:26:59To be honest, I could use a break from home.
00:27:03Trouble with the missus?
00:27:06Uh, yeah.
00:27:09It's pretty obvious.
00:27:10Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:12I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:20True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:24I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:27You said, um, couple?
00:27:29I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:27:34She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:39She was so sweet.
00:27:44Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:47No, it's...
00:27:49It's an old wound.
00:27:50I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:55Daniel!
00:27:57Sweet and caring.
00:27:59So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:02He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:04and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:06Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:19You once liked my short film.
00:28:21I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:31It needs the right producer.
00:28:33I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:36Where have you been?
00:28:39I kept calling.
00:28:40I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:43Huh?
00:28:48What?
00:28:48I've been busy.
00:28:49Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:52Seriously?
00:28:53Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:55I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:59Yeah.
00:29:00That's what you want to call it?
00:29:03I...
00:29:03I just...
00:29:04I'm sorry.
00:29:06I...
00:29:07Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:14It is what it is.
00:29:16But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:20You even just hint at a relationship,
00:29:22and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:24And I think you should go for it.
00:29:26I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:28But...
00:29:29I just...
00:29:30I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:36Seriously.
00:29:37I...
00:29:38I care about you.
00:29:39I'm no man.
00:29:45I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:47I know when you're angry.
00:29:49Really?
00:29:49I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:51I pay attention?
00:29:54Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:56She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:59That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:00A headlight.
00:30:02A performance.
00:30:05Sabrina.
00:30:09Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:10You know what?
00:30:11I hate fighting.
00:30:12So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:15I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:30:22I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:24You tell me you finally read it?
00:30:27Well, yeah.
00:30:28The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:31The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:34I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:36Me and you.
00:30:37The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:40I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:44A long time ago.
00:30:46Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:30:49and for the next hour,
00:30:50we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:53Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:56There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:59I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:02Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:04Bye.
00:31:14I don't know what you do,
00:31:21but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:31:24and it was awful.
00:31:27Well, if I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:31:29I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:31That's not what I meant.
00:31:33I like it when you make it.
00:31:35I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:41I knew it.
00:31:43You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:45I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:49God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:54Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:56It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:59No, Daniel.
00:32:00No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:07Look what you made me do.
00:32:09Just leave it.
00:32:13I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:17And what?
00:32:18It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:20I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:22And look what I get for it.
00:32:24You know what?
00:32:25Forget it.
00:32:26I have a mirror.
00:32:27Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:43What?
00:32:44Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:46Yeah, ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:48Not quite.
00:32:49That was the divorce contract.
00:32:50But if you want a clean break,
00:32:52we need to finalize your entertainment contract
00:32:54and our family's NDA.
00:32:55This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:57Remember that.
00:32:58I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:32:59I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:15Oh, please.
00:33:16She's always been so secretive.
00:33:18I mean, this is her movie premiere,
00:33:19and where is her husband?
00:33:22Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:23I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:29Oh, well, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:33Come here.
00:33:34Oh.
00:33:34Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:33:41Do you know where she is?
00:33:42Or who she's with?
00:33:44She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:45He's been staying with us.
00:33:47Oh, really?
00:33:50Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:53Oh, I hope so.
00:33:54I really hope so.
00:33:55He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:33:58Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:02Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:11What are you doing here?
00:34:12You never come to these things.
00:34:14Oh, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:17Get lost.
00:34:18You embarrass us.
00:34:20Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:22I'm your father.
00:34:23I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:28Is there a problem?
00:34:33Oh, my God.
00:34:35That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:40If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:42I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:44You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:46Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:47You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:52I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:54That's not what I see.
00:34:56You showed up uninvited.
00:34:58Then street rags, abuse Sabrina's kid, and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:04That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:07It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:10And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:14This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:17You were revolting.
00:35:18No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:21But hey, why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:25Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:28Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:30Oh, yeah?
00:35:31What lesson's that, Preston?
00:35:33You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:36Hmm.
00:35:58What the hell?
00:35:59What happened?
00:36:02Oh, my God, Daniel.
00:36:05What the hell happened?
00:36:07Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:08Are you okay?
00:36:10Look at her go.
00:36:11Hollywood's finest.
00:36:13Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:16It's Daniel.
00:36:17He's a monster.
00:36:18He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:21Mommy, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:25No, no, that's not true.
00:36:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:36Daniel, is that true?
00:36:40Sabrina.
00:36:43Oh, yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:47I think one of them's broken.
00:36:49Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:36:54But Daniel.
00:36:57Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:12Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:15I have to help Preston.
00:37:19Come on, Jackson.
00:37:40Daniel!
00:37:41I got you.
00:37:42Don't let me go.
00:37:44She's made her choice.
00:37:46There's no going back.
00:37:47We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:53Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:04Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:07I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:09There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:14Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:15In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:17If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:38:23I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:25Don't worry about it.
00:38:40Just drive.
00:38:40I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:56Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:01Seriously?
00:39:02Just lay down.
00:39:03I know.
00:39:04Why is he down?
00:39:05Oh.
00:39:05I'm going to go call the doctor, okay?
00:39:10What are you doing?
00:39:11I thought you were hurt.
00:39:13I think I'll pull through.
00:39:21Preston, what are you doing?
00:39:22I don't know what I've always wanted to.
00:39:25Come on.
00:39:25I know you want this.
00:39:26I see the way you look at me.
00:39:28Now that Daniel's gone,
00:39:30we have the house to ourself,
00:39:31I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:34What am I doing?
00:39:46Daniel is still injured.
00:39:48He should be home.
00:39:51Sabrina?
00:40:02Preston, get off.
00:40:04What?
00:40:06Babe, we can finally.
00:40:07Come on.
00:40:08I said get off.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:11No, forget about him.
00:40:13Look, I love Jackson,
00:40:16and I'm ready to be the man
00:40:17that you've always wanted.
00:40:18I'm ready to be a dad
00:40:20to that little boy.
00:40:22I mean, come on.
00:40:23Sabrina, your son,
00:40:24your mother,
00:40:26even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:27What?
00:40:27Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:33No.
00:40:34No.
00:40:35What have I done?
00:40:37Where is he?
00:40:39What about me?
00:40:40You had a chance 10 years ago.
00:40:43I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:45Hello?
00:40:52Excuse me.
00:40:54Excuse me.
00:40:55Hi.
00:40:55Have you seen my husband?
00:40:58Please.
00:40:58He was someone bleeding out.
00:40:59I saw him stumble outside
00:41:01holding his head
00:41:02after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:04He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:07Oh, no.
00:41:09God, Daniel, where are you?
00:41:11I'm sorry,
00:41:12but the number you are trying to reach
00:41:14is no longer in service.
00:41:15Please try again later.
00:41:18What have I done?
00:41:19Come on, Daniel.
00:41:31Answer me.
00:41:37He's not gone.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:49He loves me too much
00:41:51to abandon me
00:41:52when I need him the most.
00:41:54No.
00:41:57It's not possible.
00:41:59He will be back.
00:42:02No.
00:42:13Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:16Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:17The waves are all spousal support.
00:42:21No.
00:42:22No, he can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me.
00:42:25I won't sign off on him.
00:42:36No.
00:42:38All this time,
00:42:40he's going to leave me?
00:42:47It can't be.
00:42:59It's not a...
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:43:01My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:03He loves me.
00:43:06He loves Jackson.
00:43:08He wouldn't just leave us.
00:43:10We're his family.
00:43:11After all these years,
00:43:13everything we've been through...
00:43:16I 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.
00:43:49Is everything okay?
00:43:50You sound panicked.
00:43:51Mom.
00:43:53Mom.
00:43:54Daniel.
00:43:56He just left us.
00:43:59Do you know where he is?
00:44:01We have to find him.
00:44:02We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:04Oh, honey.
00:44:06It's over.
00:44:08Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:10You knew?
00:44:11I'll come over in the morning
00:44:12and explain everything.
00:44:14I'm hungry.
00:44:24Dad!
00:44:25Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:31I have something to tell you.
00:44:34Your dad.
00:44:37Your dad.
00:44:39He's left us.
00:44:41I'm sorry,
00:44:42but he's not coming back.
00:44:44Yay!
00:44:44He's gone!
00:44:45He's gone!
00:44:47Why would you say that?
00:44:49He was so embarrassing.
00:44:50Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:51Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:53What did Preston say?
00:44:55He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:44:57should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:44:59than raising a young man.
00:45:02He was so lame and boring.
00:45:04Now he's gone.
00:45:06Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:45:08He can be my new dad.
00:45:09Jackson!
00:45:11You have a dad.
00:45:12And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:45:15Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:23Hello?
00:45:24Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:26Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:28I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:30I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:31Large sums have been wired
00:45:33to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:36Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37No, but I'm not surprised.
00:45:40Flag his name.
00:45:41I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:45Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:48Okay?
00:45:49He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:52Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you,
00:45:54is out there.
00:45:55And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:57What kind of coward abandons his family, huh?
00:46:02It's despicable.
00:46:03I can't do this anymore.
00:46:06I cancel everything.
00:46:08The interviews, the red carpets.
00:46:10I don't want to be seen.
00:46:13I can't pretend.
00:46:15I just want him back.
00:46:17Oh, honey.
00:46:19It's time to let him go.
00:46:21You don't love him anyway.
00:46:23And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:29What?
00:46:30How could you say something like that?
00:46:32Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:35He cares for me.
00:46:36He sees me.
00:46:37He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:42But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:45Daniel's my husband.
00:46:47And the father of my son.
00:46:49Yeah, some husband.
00:46:50Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:52Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:46:55Contract?
00:46:57What contract?
00:47:02What are you talking about?
00:47:05Forget it.
00:47:06Forget it.
00:47:07Just 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.
00:47:14Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:16Please.
00:47:17I just want the truth.
00:47:19Mom.
00:47:21Fine.
00:47:22I will tell you the truth.
00:47:24But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:29I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:32But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:38When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:42I had to save you.
00:47:44She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:47You've always been there for her.
00:47:49From film school to now.
00:47:51I've seen it.
00:47:53She needs you.
00:47:54Stay.
00:47:55Marry her.
00:47:56Love her.
00:47:58So that she's never alone again.
00:47:59It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:09How could you do this to me?
00:48:11I wanted to protect you.
00:48:13You wanted to control me.
00:48:15All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:18Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:20You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:28Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:30He kept you together.
00:48:32Where?
00:48:33Where did he go?
00:48:34I know he told you where he went.
00:48:36Where is he?
00:48:37You can do better than him.
00:48:39You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:44Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:46No!
00:48:47He can't be gone!
00:48:48He can't!
00:48:48Yes, he is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:48:52He can't be!
00:48:54He can't be gone!
00:48:55He can't!
00:49:15I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How the Team is
00:49:18Silver Fox that's already generated 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?
00:49:36Um, honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:40Nobody told me how.
00:49:42Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:46I've heard this talk of the sequel.
00:49:48Uh, yeah.
00:49:49Um, god, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:49:52And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:49:54I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:56But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:50:00And I feel like I found my voice.
00:50:02And it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:04Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:50:09back 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.
00:50:47And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:50That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:50:53a two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:02We'll never tell.
00:51:06Oh 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.
00:51:23Enjoy this.
00:51:25And 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...
00:51:40I'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.
00:51:47I know.
00:51:59I know.
00:52:00All press is good press.
00:52:01Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:52:12bitch?
00:52:12He can't do this to me!
00:52:16Sabrina.
00:52:17You don't need him.
00:52:19Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:20How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:23Move on?
00:52:25Please, 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.
00:52:43Look at what you've got.
00:52:45A 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.
00:52:58I 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, and 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, Preston 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.
00:53:28Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:29Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:31Enough, you little shit.
00:53:35Enough.
00:53:36Just enough.
00:53:38Sabrina?
00:53:39What's gotten into you?
00:53:40Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:44Whoa.
00:53:45What's going on in 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.
00:54:02Hey, baby.
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 of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:21That'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?
00:55:16You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:19You 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.
00:55:34What?
00:55:35No, 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.
00:55:46Hey, 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.
00:55:54Nobody 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.
00:56:01He truly knew me.
00:56:06He loved me.
00:56:08Every flaw.
00:56:09Every fear.
00:56:11Contract or not.
00:56:13He 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.
00:56:34Do something.
00:56:36Sabrina.
00:56:37Come on.
00:56:38Sabrina.
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?
00:56:48The headlines?
00:56:49The brand deals?
00:56:50God.
00:56:51You're supposed to be my mother first.
00:56:53Not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:56Sabrina.
00:56:57You are being dramatic.
00:56:58Of 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.
00:57:35Let 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.
00:57:45It's Hollywood blockbusters.
00:57:47The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:57:49That's where you belong.
00:57:51To be honest, I already did all I.
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.
00:58:22Just 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.
00:59:01Um, I'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 eight 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.
00:59:45Um, it'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.
01:00:15I 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.
01:00:34I love you, too.
01:00:38Here we go.
01:00:41This is, um...
01:00:42It's another movie deal.
01:00:44I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:45Okay.
01:00:47Did you get his location?
01:01:02The Oaks.
01:01:048 p.m.
01:01:04After 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.
01:01:12I'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.
01:01:47I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make
01:01:52it 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, um...
01:02:00It's over.
01:02:02It's over.
01:02:02I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Yswick can offer.
01:02:14Oh.
01:02:15You haven't heard?
01:02:17She 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!
01:02:32Stop.
01:02:42Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:44I'm here to help you.
01:02:46Sabrina, you'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
01:03:08him.
01:03:08Oh, my God.
01:03:10You're disgusting.
01:03:11I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:13Not anymore.
01:03:14Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:18I 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.
01:03:41You're fired.
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.
01:04:17I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:24We'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.
01:04:41I 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.
01:05:00I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:06I apologize 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.
01:05:26He loved you.
01:05:28But 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.
01:05:51I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:00For everything.
01:06:11I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:13You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:17I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:19They hurt you.
01:06:21Daniel, they tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:29People can change.
01:06:32But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:37And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:45Daniel!
01:06:46Daniel!
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.
01:06:55I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:06:59But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:02Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:10Way to go, Jan!
01:07:17Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:34Thank you. We'll keep in touch.
01:07:42How many more do we have today?
01:07:4440, sir.
01:07:45Jeez.
01:07:46Hey, boy! How are we looking?
01:07:48We're still digging.
01:07:49Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:53I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:56Alright, here's the deal. The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:01Today? Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:03That's why I love you, man. Cool under pressure.
01:08:06This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:12Oh, my God. Alright, just bring in the next one.
01:08:15But that would be...
01:08:17Emily Blake.
01:08:21Emily.
01:08:26Emily, amazing as always.
01:08:29You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:32Please.
01:08:33I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Jones.
01:08:38How's LA treating you?
01:08:39Oh, my God.
01:08:41Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:43But I am...
01:08:45I'm glad to be back.
01:08:47Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:48Yeah.
01:08:49I'm sorry.
01:08:50But...
01:08:51It's you.
01:08:53You definitely belong here.
01:08:57I do miss you, though.
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.
01:09:10Waiting 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...
01:09:19You were amazing, as always.
01:09:21It's just...
01:09:23It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:27I never was, was I?
01:09:29Anyways...
01:09:31Got a few more auditions while I'm in town?
01:09:34Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:36Yeah.
01:09:48Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:49Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:53And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:00Oh, my God.
01:10:01What am I gonna do?
01:10:05What are you doing here?
01:10:09I came to audition.
01:10:26Did you bring any representation?
01:10:28No.
01:10:30I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:32I'm starting fresh.
01:10:33Right, um...
01:10:38Hi.
01:10:39I'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...
01:10:54never really healed.
01:10:58I understand.
01:11:00Daniel Johnson.
01:11:02Daniel Johnson.
01:11:05Nice to meet you.
01:11:08Please.
01:11:17Whenever you're ready.
01:11:18I'm up with.
01:11:19You won't.
01:11:25Maybe you're ready.
01:11:26Maybe.
01:11:28I can't...
01:11:30All right.
01:11:31If we're ready.
