00:08:41No!
00:08:44Daniel!

00:08:48No!
00:08:49Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:57I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:01Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:11Good to see you.
00:09:18Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, too long.
00:09:20Look at you!
00:09:22Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:25Oh my God, 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!
00:09:35I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:39God, how 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.
00:09:51Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:55Daniel!
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:56Don't embarrass me.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58Whoa, 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.
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.
00:10:20That's fine.
00:10:21That's fine.
00:10:23Just relax, okay?
00:10:25Be nice.
00:10:26Be nice.
00:10:26Be nice.
00:10:26Be nice.
00:10:26Be nice.
00:10:26Be nice.
00:10:28Be nice.
00:10:28Be nice.
00:10:28Be nice.
00:10:30Be nice.
00:10:30Be nice.
00:10:30Be nice.
00:10:30Be nice.
00:10:31Be nice.
00:10:32Be nice.
00:10:33Some 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 hill.
00:10:54Oh, careful.
00:10:56You all right?
00:10:59I'm still starving.
00:11:01Make me some food.
00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:05Ew.
00:11:06What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:08I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:11Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:14I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21What?
00:11:22What?
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.
00:11:40You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:43I didn't realize that's why no one bought your scripts, they were so dull.
00:11:45Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:48Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:56My treat.
00:11:57Here we go.
00:11:58What?
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.
00:12:04I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:06Oh.
00:12:07So...
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:09Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so...
00:12:14Anyways.
00:12:15Come on, Ben.
00:12:16Let's go.
00:12:17Oops.
00:12:18Great.
00:12:19Gotcha.
00:12:20There we go.
00:12:21Oh.
00:12:22There's Paps.
00:12:23You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:28Yes.
00:12:29You're right.
00:12:30It is the last time.
00:12:33Hey, guys.
00:12:34Hi.
00:12:35Jackson.
00:12:36Jackson.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:38Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:47Contract's fine.
00:12:49It's over.
00:12:51Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:55I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:12:58After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:02Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:03She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:09Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:10I could scream.
00:13:11I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:12Preston Eastwood.
00:13:13I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:14OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:15A scene that I wrote.
00:13:16Uncredited, of course.
00:13:17Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:18Wait.
00:13:19Are you two dating?
00:13:20Oh, well, actually, I'm sorry.
00:13:21I got the idea of my fault.
00:13:22I'm sorry.
00:13:23I'm sorry.
00:13:24I'm so sorry.
00:13:25I'm sorry.
00:13:26I'm sorry.
00:13:27I'm sorry.
00:13:28I'm sorry.
00:13:29I'm sorry.
00:13:30I'm sorry.
00:13:31What would you do?
00:13:32I'm sorry.
00:13:33I'm sorry.
00:13:34I'm sorry.
00:13:35I'm sorry.
00:13:36I'm sorry.
00:13:37I'm sorry.
00:13:38You guys kiss at the hockey rink?
00:13:39A scene that I wrote, uncredited of course.
00:13:42Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:44Wait, 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
00:13:52with her in public.
00:13:57Do 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.
00:14:06You get it, right?
00:14:08So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18Oh, it's okay babe, we don't have to lie
00:14:19to 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.
00:14:52I wish he was my dad.
00:14:54My own son doesn't respect me, but we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when
00:15:00he 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.
00:15:06If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:10That is if mom's school is in.
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, let's get Michelle.
00:15:21Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:51Daniel!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:55From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:59Daniel, he's here?
00:16:00He...
00:16:01Did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:03Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:04I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:05I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:07Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:09Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:12Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:14Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:16Jackson, enough.
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:20Well, that's it then.
00:16:22Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:24I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:30You're really good at that.
00:16:32Ooh!
00:16:33I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:36A one-way ticket.
00:16:38So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:42I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:47I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:50Daniel loves me.
00:16:51He has to understand.
00:16:52This is Hollywood.
00:16:53It's just part of the job.
00:16:56Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:02Daniel, what is this?
00:17:07I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:09All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:14Honey!
00:17:15Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:17We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:20Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:21A vacation?
00:17:22Finally.
00:17:23You're paying attention.
00:17:25Yeah.
00:17:26I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:28Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:30What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:32Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:33That's not what I meant.
00:17:35Whoa!
00:17:36Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:38That's fine.
00:17:39Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:41Just like any good husband would.
00:17:43Oh, I see.
00:17:45Is it me?
00:17:46Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:48I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:50I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:52You know what?
00:17:53Maybe I should go.
00:17:54I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:56No, please stay.
00:17:57I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:01No, you know what?
00:18:02I'll go.
00:18:04And clearly she wants you.
00:18:05I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:07Daniel, wait.
00:18:09I won't ever let you go.
00:18:11He won't leave.
00:18:12He promised.
00:18:14It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:16We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:19I'm gonna go back.
00:18:23Daniel!
00:18:27Please.
00:18:28Better than yours.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:31Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:33Oh!
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:36You're up.
00:18:37Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:41It's fun.
00:18:44Why don't look at me like that?
00:18:45I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:48Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:52How lucky for him.
00:18:54He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:57Oh.
00:18:58Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:01Okay.
00:19:02Listen, man.
00:19:03I...
00:19:04I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:07You can trust me.
00:19:10Preston, I think you're...
00:19:12You need to go right now.
00:19:14Alright.
00:19:15Oh.
00:19:16Hey.
00:19:17Daniel, seriously.
00:19:18Listen, man.
00:19:19I...
00:19:20When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:25I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:19:29Just ignore him.
00:19:30He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:31No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:35Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:37Jealous?
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:42Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:47You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:53That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:19:59Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:05My God.
00:20:06God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:11Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:15No, it's not like that. I...
00:20:18What?
00:20:20You know what? Fine.
00:20:23You two look great together.
00:20:25Daniel, I...
00:20:36And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:45Um...
00:20:49I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:53Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:56I was never the homemaker.

00:26:57to pump you with liquids to be honest that's i could use a break from home trouble with the missus
00:27:03uh yeah pretty obvious most married folks that come in here are miserable i shouldn't be saying
00:27:13this but sabrina donovan was here with preston eastwood true love story holding hands wiping tears
00:27:22i've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice you said um couple i wasn't sure but i checked
00:27:30the visitation logs and it's official she even helped me reposition preston when his ivy was twisted
00:27:37she was so sweet
00:27:43need us to check on that shoulder for you no it's it's an old wound
00:27:49i tore it actually um 10 years ago sweet and caring so preston's found the wi-fi i always wanted
00:28:01he only had to break her heart to get it and left me to pick up the pieces
00:28:05i'm gonna get my shit in y'all mr lee i don't know if you remember me you once liked my short film
00:28:20i have a script i've been sitting on
00:28:21it needs the right producer i know it's a long shot but i'd be honored if you'd read it
00:28:36where have you been i kept calling i i started to feel like one of my stalkers
00:28:42huh
00:28:47what i've been busy anyways i thought you were busy entertaining preston
00:28:50uh seriously why does it always have to come back to him i told you he's just a friend
00:28:58yeah that's what you want to call it i i just
00:29:04i'm sorry i bringing preston into our home was probably crossing a line
00:29:09it is what it is but i mean you know how the industry works you even just hint at a relationship
00:29:21and it stirs up all this publicity and i think you should go for it i mean you always do what's
00:29:26best for your career but i just i don't want you to be upset with me
00:29:31seriously i i care about you
00:29:42i love it

00:30:04sabrina
00:30:04sabrina i'm good you know what i hate fighting so let's just forget about this okay i was thinking

00:30:21i gave that to you three years ago you tell me you finally read it well yeah the first 10 pages but
00:30:28they're good the lead role is something i can really sink my teeth into i mean we have to do
00:30:34this me and you the lead actress and the writer director i gave up on that dream of us working together
00:30:44a long time ago well how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour
00:30:50ourselves into the script just like we used to in film school there was a time when this would have
00:30:57worked on me i would have melted in her hands now i just want to pack and get out of here
00:31:16hmm i don't know what you do but i asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was
00:31:25awful i've had a lot of experience making it for you i'll be sure to tell him how you like it that's
00:31:30not what i meant i like it when you make it i'm not gonna always be here to make it
00:31:40i knew it you are mad that i brought preston back here i told you it was just a publicity stunt
00:31:47god god it's not like our marriage is gonna get me on the cover of vanity fair married people are
00:31:54fucking boring it's good to know where you stand no daniel no that's not what i meant
