America's Favorite Ex Husband 🔥
Transcript
00:00:00He has to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:09That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I got my way back.
00:00:28Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:41You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:47Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:00:55The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:02I'll always love my son.
00:01:03But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:07You didn't still worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:25You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now.
00:01:31Stay. Marry her.
00:01:34Love her.
00:01:36So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:41And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:55Mom. Daniel.
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:02What's going on?
00:02:04Honey.
00:02:05I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:10If the paparazzi catch him next to you.
00:02:13But I need to go.
00:02:15I have an appointment with your child.
00:02:18Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:23Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:30Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:32Ugh.
00:02:33Can it wait?
00:02:34I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:46I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:49And then he cheated on you.
00:02:50And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:52I'm starving.
00:02:53When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No!
00:03:00I want to eat now!
00:03:02You always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:23I got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:29Ew!
00:03:30What is this?
00:03:31It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:34I don't want healthy food.
00:03:35I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:36Chicken nuggets.
00:03:37Chicken nuggets.
00:03:38You can't have that every day.
00:03:40It's not healthy for you.
00:03:41But I want that.
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:00I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:05And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:13Enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:17I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:27Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:43Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:45We'll get you some real food.
00:04:47Seriously, their only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:55I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:01How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:05It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:08Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:11Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:21Yeah, you get it.
00:05:24Love you.
00:05:26I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:44The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:46We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:48I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:51After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, Mom.
00:06:07How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:10I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:18I'm just trying to help.
00:06:19I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, Mom.
00:06:34And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:43You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, Mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:06:59Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:17All right, cut.
00:07:23All right, cut.
00:07:24That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was the rising star.
00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:35Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:39If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:44I was just the first.
00:07:59Okay.
00:08:00살아.
00:08:07All right.
00:08:08It destroyed me.
00:08:18Rest in the sense of love.
00:08:33Maria, vote!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:44Just...
00:08:45Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:01Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:04No!
00:09:05Don't let me go!
00:09:07I won't ever let you go.
00:09:14I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:20I see all of you.
00:09:23And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:25Good to see you.
00:09:34Good to see you!
00:09:35Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:39Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:43Of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:46Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:50Oh, there he is!
00:09:52The assistant!
00:09:53I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:57How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:02I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel!
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:15No, it's fine.
00:10:16Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:33What are you saying, huh?
00:10:34Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:53Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:11:00again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:06I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:25Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:32Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:42Well, babe, for real?
00:11:44Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:48Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:50Rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:56I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:04You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:05They were so dull.
00:12:07Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:14So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21What to do?
00:12:22Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25I'll let you insist.
00:12:26I mean, I'm already dressed, so.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:31Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:12:36Anyways.
00:12:37Come on, Ben, let's go.
00:12:40That's great.
00:12:41Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:43There's paps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:49I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:53It is the last time.
00:12:56Guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:07Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract sign.
00:13:11It's over.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is it ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:26Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:41Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:42Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:49Sabrina Donovan, I could scream. I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:55Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:03The scene that I wrote, uncredited of course.
00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:08Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:10Oh, well actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:14All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:24You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:26Your brand?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:30You get it, right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43It's okay babe, we don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:46This is so going viral.
00:14:56I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:58It looks like more than dating.
00:15:00Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:04Don't be silly.
00:15:06You have a dad and he's a sissy.
00:15:08That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:10He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:14But Preston is awesome.
00:15:16He's an action spy.
00:15:18I wish he was my dad.
00:15:20My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants
00:15:26when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after-party
00:15:29with a call girl.
00:15:30It's okay, buddy.
00:15:31Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:33If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:36That is if mom schools it.
00:15:38Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:40Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:42Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:44Come on then.
00:15:48Let's go Michelle.
00:16:04Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top,
00:16:14and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23On the sound of it,
00:16:24your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:27Daniel, he's here.
00:16:28Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:31Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:32I was just doing that for Melissa.
00:16:34I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:35Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:16:39Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:41Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:49Well, that's it then.
00:16:51Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53You need to leverage your relationship with Preston,
00:16:55with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:00You're really good at that.
00:17:01Ooh!
00:17:02I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:05A one-way ticket.
00:17:07So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:11I know the contract is over,
00:17:13but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:16I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:19Daniel loves me. He has to understand.
00:17:21This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:35I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:44Honey!
00:17:45Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:47We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:50Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:52A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:01What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09It's fine.
00:18:10Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:13Just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look at how you see.
00:18:17Is it me?
00:18:18Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:24You know what?
00:18:25Maybe I should go.
00:18:26I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:29I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:33No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:35And clearly she wants you.
00:18:37I'm going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:41I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:45It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:51I'm gonna go back.
00:18:55Daniel!
00:18:56Oh, good.
00:18:57You're up.
00:18:58Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:19:13It was fun.
00:19:15What?
00:19:16Don't look at me like that.
00:19:18I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:21Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:25How lucky for him.
00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:30Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:34Listen, man.
00:19:35I...
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:40You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're...
00:19:45You need to write down.
00:19:46All right.
00:19:48Oh, my...
00:19:50Daniel, seriously.
00:19:51Listen, man.
00:19:52I...
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:58I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:08Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:10Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:16Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know...
00:20:23I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:25That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:33Daniel...
00:20:35Can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:39My God.
00:20:41God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are you really gonna ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:50No, it's not like that.
00:20:52I...
00:20:53What?
00:20:55You know what? Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel...
00:21:14And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:17Um...
00:21:25I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:29Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:34I was never the homemaker.
00:21:36Please, Daniel.
00:21:37I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:53If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:54I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:06Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:25There he is.
00:22:26I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m. man.
00:22:27No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:40Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:41I got some.
00:22:42Yeah.
00:22:43What do you need?
00:22:44Oh, oh.
00:22:45Yeah, there you go.
00:22:46I don't need some of this shit, but...
00:22:47I doubt you'll like it.
00:22:48Yeah, the shit straight up protein.
00:22:49Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:55Hey, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:12Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of you last night, right?
00:23:18No. A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:22Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:27It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:40What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:42Mr. Eastwood, I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:47And it's unfair.
00:23:49That's a shame, huh? You know what? Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:53Ooh.
00:23:55No.
00:23:57Not to play with that.
00:23:59You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:08It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:10Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:15Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:18You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:22I said don't push.
00:24:28Go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:31He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-serving like you.
00:24:35What the hell?
00:24:36You just shot me.
00:24:37Call it a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching a kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:42He's not your kid.
00:24:44I wish I was.
00:24:46I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:51Ouch.
00:24:52I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:54So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:03Man of the house?
00:25:04Please.
00:25:05You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed apart.
00:25:12Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:14How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:16I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star!
00:25:20A star?
00:25:21A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:25Jackson, come on.
00:25:26I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:28No, I'm not going.
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:46You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:09Daniel!
00:26:10What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom.
00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:15I'm so scared!
00:26:16That would be pretty good, babe.
00:26:18What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:21I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:22What?
00:26:23I didn't?
00:26:24Dude, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:28I thought you were bigger than Miss Betty's shit.
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:33Bro, I'm up.
00:26:34Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What?
00:26:39Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:43Maybe I should go.
00:26:44I'm sorry.
00:26:45No.
00:26:46Oh, my God.
00:26:48He's lying.
00:26:50You're a monster.
00:26:52And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding.
00:26:55We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57Sure.
00:26:58We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:02Clean this up.
00:27:05Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:07Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:27:20Hello?
00:27:21What's your emergency?
00:27:23Wait, now.
00:27:24I think I hit an RV.
00:27:26I hit an ambulance now.
00:27:27Now.
00:27:28Now.
00:27:38You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:27:43with the liquid.
00:27:43To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:47Trouble with the missus?
00:27:51Uh...
00:27:51Yeah.
00:27:53It's pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:03Miss Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:08I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:12You said, um, couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:28:20She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:29Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:32No, it's...
00:28:35It's my wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Daniel!
00:28:42Sweet and caring.
00:28:45So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:54Fuck you!
00:28:58Fuck!
00:29:00I'm gonna get my shit in, y'all.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:07I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:09It needs the right producer.
00:29:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:24Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:29This is a...
00:29:30Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:35I've been busy.
00:29:36Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:39Uh, seriously?
00:29:40Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:49I, I just, I'm sorry.
00:29:54I, bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is, but it's...
00:30:04But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:12And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:17But, I just, I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:25I, I care about you.
00:30:31I love it.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking.
00:31:06We could revisit your script.
00:31:11I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah.
00:31:17The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:25Me and you.
00:31:26The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:28I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves
00:31:42into the script, just like we used to in film school.
00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:52Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it
00:32:16was awful.
00:32:18Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how
00:32:21you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:32I knew it.
00:32:34You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:49It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:52No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:55Look what you made me do.
00:33:01Just leave it.
00:33:05I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:09And what?
00:33:10It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:16You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I have a mirror.
00:33:20Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:22What?
00:33:38Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:40Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:41Not quite.
00:33:42That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:50Remember that.
00:33:51I'll text you the address of where it may be.
00:33:53I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:10She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:33We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is?
00:34:37Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:40He's been staying with us.
00:34:42Oh, really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:54Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:06What are you doing here?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:12Get lost.
00:35:14You embarrass us.
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:20Is there a problem?
00:35:29Oh, my God.
00:35:31That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:36If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:43You should probably listen to your kid and pat out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:52You showed up uninvited in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:00That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all I stopped, was it?
00:36:14You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:19How are you watching now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh, yeah?
00:36:29What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:30You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:39Oh!
00:36:49What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:01Oh, my God!
00:37:02Daniel!
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:17He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy!
00:37:21Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel.
00:37:37Is that true?
00:37:40Sabrina.
00:37:42Oh!
00:37:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:46I think one of them's broken.
00:37:49Sabrina.
00:37:50Honey.
00:37:51We need to help Preston.
00:37:54But Daniel.
00:37:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:01Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:15I...
00:38:16I have...
00:38:17I have to help Preston.
00:38:19I have to help Preston.
00:38:23I have to help Preston.
00:38:29I have to help.
00:38:31Baby.
00:38:32Baby.
00:38:34I'm out, Jackson.
00:38:37Oh.
00:38:41Daniel!
00:38:42I got you.
00:38:43No, let me go!
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:47There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:55Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:08I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:20If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it.
00:39:42Just dry.
00:39:43I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:59Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:05Stay down.
00:40:07I don't know what you're doing.
00:40:09I'm going to call the doctor, okay?
00:40:11What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:24Preston, what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:28Come on.
00:40:29I know you want this.
00:40:30I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I could finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:38What am I doing?
00:40:50Daniel is still injured.
00:40:52He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Sabrina?
00:40:57Preston, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally...
00:41:12I said get off.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:18Look, I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:23I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:27I mean, come on.
00:41:28Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:31Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:40No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:43Where is he?
00:41:44What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance ten years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:51I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:57Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:00Excuse me.
00:42:01Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please, he was someone bleeding out.
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:10He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:12Oh, no.
00:42:16Captain, where are you?
00:42:17I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:22Please try again later.
00:42:24What have I done?
00:42:36Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:39He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:57He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:01No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:07He will be back.
00:43:09No.
00:43:21Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:43:26The waves all spousal support.
00:43:29No.
00:43:30No, he can't leave me.
00:43:32He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on him.
00:43:35Come on.
00:43:36All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:43:50It can't be.
00:44:08It's not her.
00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:14He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:19We're his family.
00:44:20And after all these years, everything we've been through...
00:44:24I got you.
00:44:44I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go.
00:44:50Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:58No, it's Mom.
00:44:59Is everything okay?
00:45:01He's not panicked.
00:45:01Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:05Daniel.
00:45:06He just left us.
00:45:09Do you know where he is?
00:45:11We have to find him.
00:45:13We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:15Oh, honey.
00:45:17It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry.
00:45:35Dad, breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:39Jackson?
00:45:40Jackson?
00:45:40I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:49Your dad.
00:45:51He's left us.
00:45:53I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay, he's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01It was so embarrassing.
00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:05What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:46:09should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:46:11and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone.
00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson, you have a dad.
00:46:25And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:27Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:29Mr. Eastwood, you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:38Mr. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:40I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:42Mr. I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:44Mr. Large thumbs have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:54I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:12What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:17I can't do this anymore.
00:47:20I'll cancel everything.
00:47:22The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:24I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:29I just want him back.
00:47:31Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:47:35You don't love him anyway.
00:47:38Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:43What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:47Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:51He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:00Daniel's my husband.
00:48:02And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband.
00:48:05Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:48:07Wanting nothing to do with his child just because I contraended.
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:14Contract.
00:48:14Contract.
00:48:14Contract.
00:48:17What are you talking about?
00:48:20Forget it.
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Forget it.
00:48:22Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:29Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please.
00:48:33I just want the truth.
00:48:35Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:38I will tell you the truth.
00:48:40But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:42I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:47Sabrina.
00:48:48But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:54When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:58I had to save you.
00:49:00She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:02You've always been there for her.
00:49:05From film school to now.
00:49:07I've seen it.
00:49:09She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:14So that she's never alone again.
00:49:16It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:26How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:30You wanted to control me.
00:49:32All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:41You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:45Stop.
00:49:45Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you where he went.
00:49:54Where is he?
00:49:55You can do better than him.
00:49:58You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:50:00Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't.
00:50:07Yes.
00:50:08He is gone.
00:50:09And he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone.
00:50:13He can't.
00:50:15I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of Howl, the Tame Silver Box that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:42Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:50Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:58Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own seat.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man.
00:51:03How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:08Uh, yeah.
00:51:09Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:12And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:17But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:51:20And I feel like I found my voice.
00:51:22And it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:34Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, that will make your life a living hell.
00:51:43Daniel?
00:52:01He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius.
00:52:09And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:11That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:28Oh, my God, thanks for saving me.
00:52:31She was practically eye-sucking you.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:38I can?
00:52:39The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel.
00:52:46Enjoy this.
00:52:48And get used to compliments.
00:52:50There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me out of it.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:57You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01I know it's, um, I'll have it.
00:53:04Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:53:09Zelda's just got a head start.
00:53:10I know.
00:53:23I know.
00:53:24Our press is good press.
00:53:30Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:53:33and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch.
00:53:38He can't do this to me.
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:42Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:55He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:53:59I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:08Look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career.
00:54:12A mansion in the hills.
00:54:14An adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:19Your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:37No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:46When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:04What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:14Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:18No!
00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:55:32Hey, babe.
00:55:33Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:37Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:39You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:48That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:06You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:16I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:38Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:03No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please.
00:57:05Please, I love you.
00:57:06Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security,
00:57:13all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Babe, just...
00:57:16Now.
00:57:17Just give me your hand.
00:57:18Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never heard that, uh,
00:57:31your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:57:33We'll never tell.
00:57:37Oh, my God.
00:57:39I'm not.
00:57:40He truly loved me.
00:57:42I know.
00:57:43Jeez.
00:57:44This is so surreal.
00:57:45I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:57:47I can.
00:57:49The moment I read your script,
00:57:50I knew you were special.
00:57:53Daniel.
00:57:55Enjoy this.
00:57:56And get used to compliments.
00:57:59There's already Oscar buzz.
00:58:01Fuck.
00:58:02Finish me, I know.
00:58:03I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:58:06You okay?
00:58:08You're the sexiest man alive.
00:58:10Is that all you care about?
00:58:12I'll have it.
00:58:13Well, the world's about to meet
00:58:15its new favorite filmmaker.
00:58:18So the world's just got a headstone.
00:58:31I think that price is good price.
00:58:34You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:46I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:48In film school,
00:58:50we were literally told to watch
00:58:51every single film that you ever produced.
00:58:54I mean, you know this.
00:58:55You're a legend.
00:58:57I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:58:58All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:58:59You're a powerhouse-sitting idol
00:59:01in the wrong country.
00:59:03I appreciate the compliment,
00:59:04but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:05I got projects.
00:59:05Come on.
00:59:06You're built for billion-dollar franchises,
00:59:09Hollywood blockbusters,
00:59:10the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:59:11not London.
00:59:12That's where you belong.
00:59:15To be honest,
00:59:15I already did L.A.
00:59:17It didn't really end well.
00:59:19Let me guess.
00:59:20My girl?
00:59:21If by a girl,
00:59:22he means Hollywood royalty,
00:59:24Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:26You don't walk away from a gift
00:59:27like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:29You can become a household name,
00:59:31and I can get you there.
00:59:33You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:34Three-picture deal.
00:59:36$200 million budget each,
00:59:37creative control,
00:59:38and final cut approval.
00:59:40I don't know what to say.
00:59:41Just say yes.
00:59:42You have my number.
00:59:44Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:46Just remember, Daniel,
00:59:47you can't run away from the past.
00:59:49You have to face it
00:59:50and tell the fuck off.
00:59:55Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:05Can we talk?
01:00:07Daniel, can you give us a hint
01:00:09about your first movie
01:00:10with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:11Of course.
01:00:12It's about a man
01:00:13who gets fucked over
01:00:14by America's sweetheart
01:00:15and comes out on top.
01:00:17Is this a personal story?
01:00:19Will we get a hint
01:00:20at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:22Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:28I'll leave it at that.
01:00:31You arrogant little shit.
01:00:34I told you,
01:00:35if you ever sat put
01:00:36in this fucking country,
01:00:37I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:43It's Les Donovan.
01:00:45I need a favor.
01:00:46I need you to track down
01:00:47Daniel Johnson
01:00:48and find out where he'll be
01:00:49around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:52It's time for a little reunion
01:00:54with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:57Mom, what are you doing?
01:01:02Did you just break my TV?
01:01:05Can you give us a name
01:01:06for your upcoming film?
01:01:08You know how I'm supposed
01:01:08to do that?
01:01:09You've been so kind, though.
01:01:11It's called
01:01:12You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:16He's back.
01:01:18Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:20Honey,
01:01:21I didn't want you
01:01:22spiraling again.
01:01:23I'm not a fragile
01:01:24little girl anymore.
01:01:26I need to get on that movie.
01:01:28Absolutely not.
01:01:29You're not working
01:01:30for your ex-husband.
01:01:31If you don't get me
01:01:32an audition,
01:01:33then I will get
01:01:33a manager who will.
01:01:35Oh, honey.
01:01:35I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:37He still loves me.
01:01:40He has to.
01:01:41I just need to talk to him.
01:01:44Let him go.
01:01:48Mom.
01:01:50Honey, I...
01:01:51You know I just want
01:01:54what's best for you, right?
01:01:55I just don't want to see
01:01:57my little girl hurt again.
01:02:00I love you.
01:02:01I love you, too.
01:02:06There you go.
01:02:08This is, um...
01:02:10It's another movie deal.
01:02:11I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:14Did you get his location?
01:02:31The Oaks.
01:02:328 p.m.
01:02:34After I'm done with him,
01:02:35Daniel Johnson
01:02:36won't just be blacklisted
01:02:37by Hollywood.
01:02:39He'll be erased
01:02:39from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:44She's not protecting me.
01:02:52She's protecting her business.
01:02:54And I'm just a pawn.
01:02:56But if she wants a scandal,
01:02:58she'll get one.
01:03:00So nice having you back.
01:03:03And I don't just mean
01:03:04from the UK.
01:03:05Yeah, it's been a rough
01:03:06couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:07A couple?
01:03:09Daniel, it was 10 years
01:03:10of you slaving away
01:03:12for those people.
01:03:12If you can even call them that.
01:03:14You're healthy now.
01:03:15And I'm at the top
01:03:16of my career.
01:03:17I mean, yeah,
01:03:18there was a time
01:03:19that I loved Sabrina,
01:03:20but I really thought
01:03:21I could make it work.
01:03:23To marriage, to kids.
01:03:25I mean, we really tried.
01:03:26I thought I could make it
01:03:27go for it, but, um...
01:03:30It's over.
01:03:32It's over.
01:03:33I mean, let her chase
01:03:34whatever fantasy
01:03:35she thinks Preston Eastwood
01:03:36could offer.
01:03:36Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:48She dumped him.
01:03:49It was all over
01:03:50People Magazine.
01:03:51She ended it
01:03:52when his star faded.
01:03:55Oh my gosh, it was.
01:03:56Daniel!
01:04:05Stop!
01:04:13Sabrina, what are you
01:04:14doing here?
01:04:15I'm here to help you.
01:04:17Sabrina,
01:04:18we are making a scene.
01:04:20Let's go home.
01:04:21Sabrina?
01:04:22How could you?
01:04:23I just came to ask
01:04:25Daniel if he'd
01:04:26let you audition,
01:04:26but he said no.
01:04:27I begged and pleaded.
01:04:29Stop lying.
01:04:31I saw you bribe
01:04:32the waiter
01:04:33to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:35And I'll bet
01:04:35you called the paparazzi
01:04:37too to catch him
01:04:38drugged out of his mind
01:04:39and ruin him.
01:04:40My God.
01:04:42You're disgusting.
01:04:43I'm a manager,
01:04:44Daniel.
01:04:44Not anymore.
01:04:46Why did you become
01:04:47such a conniving,
01:04:49scheming snake?
01:04:50I don't even know
01:04:51who you are anymore.
01:04:54I'm your mother.
01:04:56I only want
01:04:57what's best for you.
01:04:59What's best for me?
01:05:02You've been controlling
01:05:03my life ever since
01:05:04you knew you could
01:05:05profit from it.
01:05:07That all ends today.
01:05:12You're fired.
01:05:14You're fired.
01:05:16No.
01:05:19No.
01:05:19You can't do this to me.
01:05:27Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:28I have dedicated
01:05:29my life to you.
01:05:30You dedicated your life
01:05:31to money
01:05:32and to fame.
01:05:35I was just who
01:05:36you used to get to it.
01:05:38You think you can survive
01:05:39on sheer talent?
01:05:40There's a thousand girls
01:05:42more talented than you
01:05:43waiting for their shot.
01:05:44I made you.
01:05:46You'd be nothing
01:05:46without me.
01:05:50I think she'll do
01:05:51just fine.
01:05:58We're done here, Mom.
01:06:01If you want any chance
01:06:02to be in Jackson's life
01:06:03or in mine,
01:06:05you'll leave now.
01:06:08Without another word.
01:06:09I have something
01:06:20to say.
01:06:24I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:26I'm sorry I took you
01:06:28for granted
01:06:28all of those years.
01:06:30I'm sorry I let my mom
01:06:32manipulate
01:06:33and use you.
01:06:34I'm sorry I brought
01:06:36Preston into our home
01:06:38and poisoned our son
01:06:40towards you.
01:06:44Apologize to your father.
01:06:46Do I have to?
01:06:47Who raised you?
01:06:50Cared for you?
01:06:53Packed your lunches
01:06:54when I was on set?
01:06:56Laid with you
01:06:57when you had nightmares
01:06:58and coddled you
01:06:59when you were sick?
01:07:00He did.
01:07:02He loved you.
01:07:03But you treated him
01:07:04like he was nothing.
01:07:05I was wrong.
01:07:07Jackson,
01:07:08he gave us
01:07:08ten years of his life
01:07:10and we abused it.
01:07:12And now there is
01:07:13nothing we can do
01:07:14to take that back.
01:07:16I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:20It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:23I love you.
01:07:24Okay.
01:07:25Come on, Jackson.
01:07:26Let's go.
01:07:27Come on.
01:07:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:36For everything.
01:07:42I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:49You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:51No.
01:07:54I just didn't know it'd be this hard.
01:07:55They hurt you, Daniel.
01:07:59They tore you to pieces
01:08:00and then just expected you
01:08:02to come running back.
01:08:06People can change.
01:08:09But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:10And the Oscar goes to
01:08:16Daniel Johnson
01:08:17for his original screenplay,
01:08:19Loving Her.
01:08:22Daniel!
01:08:23Daniel!
01:08:23Daniel!
01:08:24I'm here, Daniel!
01:08:25Daniel, is it true
01:08:26that the script
01:08:27that won you Oscars
01:08:28for both writing and directing
01:08:29sat on a shelf
01:08:30for ten years?
01:08:31Yes.
01:08:32I'll admit I got a little sidelined,
01:08:33but I think I found my way back.
01:08:36But, okay,
01:08:39I'll tell you this.
01:08:41I don't think you can truly
01:08:43love someone else
01:08:44until
01:08:45you love yourself.
01:08:51Way to go, John!
01:09:06Thank you so much
01:09:11for considering me
01:09:12for this part.
01:09:14We'll keep in touch.

01:09:23Forty.
01:09:23Sorry.

01:10:01Amazing as always.
01:10:08You flew in all the way
01:10:11from London for this?
01:10:12Please.
01:10:14I was gonna miss a shot
01:10:15who auditioned for the great
01:10:16Daniel Johnson.
01:10:18How's LA treating you?
01:10:20Oh, my God.
01:10:21Less tea,
01:10:22but way more traffic.
01:10:24But I am...
01:10:25I'm glad to be back.
01:10:27Well, it's known
01:10:28in this countryside.
01:10:29Yeah.
01:10:30But it suits you.
01:10:33You definitely belong here.
01:10:37I do miss you, though.
01:10:40It was fun.
01:10:41Playing the part.
01:10:43British starlet.
01:10:44American director.
01:10:45I kept waiting for us
01:10:48to become something real.
01:10:51Waiting for us
01:10:52to become something real.
01:10:53I'm sorry, Emily.
01:10:56It just cost me
01:10:57and we'll call Stephen.
01:10:59You...
01:11:00You were amazing,
01:11:01as always.
01:11:02It's just...
01:11:04It's just not quite
01:11:06what I'm looking for.
01:11:08I never was,
01:11:09was I?
01:11:11Anyways.
01:11:12Got a few more auditions
01:11:13while I'm in town.
01:11:15Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:18Yeah.
01:11:18Okay.
01:11:23Give me a copy
01:11:31and you know what?
01:11:32Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:35And be generous
01:11:36with the sugar.
01:11:42Oh, my God.
01:11:44What am I going to do?
01:11:51That was quick.
01:11:52What are you doing here?
01:12:05I came to audition.
01:12:09Did you bring any representation?
01:12:11No.
01:12:12I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:15I need you.
01:12:15You'd be nothing without me.
01:12:20I don't have been.
01:12:22Don't let me go!
01:12:26I got you.
01:12:27I'll never let you go.
01:12:31Are you okay?
01:12:32Yeah.
01:12:32It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:35never really healed.
01:12:39I understand.
