00:07:18i was just the director's assistant
00:07:21our future's ahead of us
00:07:24if only she didn't fall for hollywood's golden asshole
00:07:30as a
00:07:49You've destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:05Sabrina, don't!
00:08:19Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:28Just give me your hand.
00:08:35No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
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.
00:09:16Good 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?
00:09:28Oh, 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.
00:09:39God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:44Stop!
00:09:44I 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?
00:10:06My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch you.
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.
00:10:26Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:40when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:42Yeah, it's nice, but 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?
00:11:06Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:08I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:12Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:15I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21Oh, babe, for real?
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:24Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:28Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:29I'm rich.
00:11:30Which 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.
00:11:43You 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?
00:11:56My treat.
00:11:58Here we go.
00:11:59What?
00:12:00Yeah.
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.
00:12:06Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code, so.
00:12:14Anyways.
00:12:15Come on, Ben.
00:12:16Let's go.
00:12:18Looks great.
00:12:18Gotcha.
00:12:19There we go.
00:12:20Oh.
00:12:22There's Paps.
00:12:23You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:28You're right.
00:12:31It is the last time.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
00:12:36Bye.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:44Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:50It's over.
00:12:52Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:55I 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.
00:13:20Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:22She 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.
00:13:36Oh, gee.
00:13:36I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:39A scene that I wrote.
00:13:41Uncredited, of course.
00:13:42Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:44Wait.
00:13:45Are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually.
00:13:47This is totally a date.
00:13:48All these years, I couldn't even be seen with 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.
00:14:05You get it, right?
00:14:07So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:18We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:20This is so going viral.
00:14:31I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:32It 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.
00:14:47But Preston is awesome.
00:14:51He's an action spy.
00:14:52I wish he was my dad.
00:14:55My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:58But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:15:00when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty
00:15:03with a call girl.
00:15:04It's okay, buddy.
00:15:05Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:07If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:10That is if mom's school 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.
00:15:21Let's get Michelle.
00:15:38Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top,
00:15:46and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:51Daniel!
00:15:53You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:55And the sound of it,
00:15:56your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:59Daniel, he's here?
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.
00:16:06I 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,
00:16:11Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:13Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:15Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:17Jackson, enough.
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then.
00:16:22Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:25I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,
00:16:27with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:31You're really good at that.
00:16:33Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:37A one-way ticket,
00:16:39so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over,
00:16:44but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:47I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me.
00:16:52He has to understand.
00:16:53This is Hollywood.
00:16:54It's just part of the job.
00:16:57Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:04Daniel, 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 canceled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:15Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:17We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:21Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:22A vacation?
00:17:23Finally.
00:17:24You're paying attention.
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:27I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:29Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:31What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:33Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:34That's not what I meant.
00:17:35Whoa.
00:17:36Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:38It's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:43Just like any good husband would.
00:17:44Oh, I see.
00:17:46Is it me?
00:17:47Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:49I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:51I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:53You know what?
00:17:54Maybe I should go.
00:17:55I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:57No, please stay.
00:17:58I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:01No, you know what?
00:18:03I'll go.
00:18:04And clearly she wants you.
00:18:06I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:07Daniel, wait.
00:18:08I won't ever let you go.
00:18:12He won't leave.
00:18:13He 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 going to go back.
00:18:23Daniel!
00:18:24Daniel!
00:18:27Please.
00:18:28Better than yours.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:32Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:33Oh!
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:36You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:42It's fun.
00:18:43Don't look at me like that.
00:18:46I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:48Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:53How lucky for him.
00:18:55He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:58Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:02Listen, man, I...
00:19:03I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:07You can trust me.
00:19:10Preston, I think you're...
00:19:12Mm-hmm.
00:19:13You need to go right now.
00:19:14All right.
00:19:15Oh, hey.
00:19:17Daniel, seriously.
00:19:18Listen, man.
00:19:19I...
00:19:19When 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?
00:19:38Yeah.
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:42Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:47You know...
00:19:48I 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 can 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.
00:20:17I...
00:20:17What?
00:20:20You know what?
00:20:21Fine.
00:20:24You two look great together.
00:20:25Daniel, I...
00:20:29And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:41Um...
00:20:43I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:54Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:58I was never the homemaker.
00:21:03Please, Daniel.
00:21:05Daniel?
00:21:05Daniel?
00:21:05Daniel?
00:21:05Daniel?
00:21:05Daniel?
00:21:05Daniel?
00:21:06Daniel?
00:21:07Daniel?
00:21:08Daniel?
00:21:09Daniel?
00:21:09Daniel?
00:21:10Daniel?
00:21:10I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:20If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:26I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:29Look at her now, playing house for another man.
00:21:45If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:49There he is.
00:22:07God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:10Oh man, man.
00:22:11No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:14Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:16Hmm.
00:22:17Hmm.
00:22:18Got some.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20What do you need?
00:22:21Oh, oh.
00:22:22Yeah, there you go.
00:22:23I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:26Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:28Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:34Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:39You're not?
00:22:40A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:42Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:45It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:01What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:03Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:04I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:08And it's unfair!
00:23:09That's a shame, huh?
00:23:10You know what?
00:23:11Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:12Here we go.
00:23:14Ooh.
00:23:15No, it's not to play with that.
00:23:19You never let me do anything!
00:23:22Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:25You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:27It's not about the money.
00:23:28It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:31Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:35Yeah?
00:23:36What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:38You're so annoying!
00:23:40Don't push.
00:23:44I said don't push.
00:23:48Go get a book or something.
00:23:49Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:51He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:23:54God, what the hell is he just showing me?
00:23:56Call it a lesson.
00:23:57I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:23:58He's not your kid.
00:23:59I wish I was!
00:24:00I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:01I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:02Ouch!
00:24:03I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:04So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:05Maybe it will be.
00:24:06But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:08You?
00:24:09Man of the house?
00:24:10Please.
00:24:11You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:12I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:16You're a washed up pack!
00:24:17Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:18How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:19I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:24:20I'm a fucking star!
00:24:21A star?
00:24:22A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:23Jackson, come on.
00:24:24I don't want you hanging around this clown.
00:24:25I don't want you hanging around this clown.
00:24:26I don't want you to be a man of the house.
00:24:27I don't want you to be a man of the house.
00:24:28Maybe it will be.
00:24:29Maybe it will be.
00:24:30But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:31You?
00:24:32Man of the house?
00:24:33Please.
00:24:34You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:35I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:38A star?
00:24:39A star?
00:24:40A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:43Jackson, come on.
00:24:44I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:46No, I'm not going!
00:24:47Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:49Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:08You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:18What was that?
00:25:26Daniel!
00:25:27What is happening?
00:25:28It was Dad, Mom.
00:25:30Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:32What?
00:25:33That would be pretty good, baby.
00:25:35What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:36I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:38I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:39What?
00:25:40I didn't?
00:25:41Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:43You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:45I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:48It's just a fucking fish tank!
00:25:50Throw up!
00:25:51Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:53What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:55What?
00:25:56Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:25:59Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:01No!
00:26:02Oh, my God.
00:26:04He's lying.
00:26:05You're a monster!
00:26:07And in front of your son?
00:26:09You have to be kidding.
00:26:11We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:12Yeah.
00:26:14We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:16Come on.
00:26:17Clean this up!
00:26:20Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:24She's mine now, loser.
00:26:26Die now, loser.
00:26:36Hello, 9-1-1.
00:26:37What's your emergency?
00:26:38I'm bleeding out.
00:26:39I think I hit an artery.
00:26:41I need an ambulance now.
00:26:42Now!
00:26:43You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.
00:26:58To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.
00:27:01Trouble with the missus?
00:27:04Uh...
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07Pretty obvious.
00:27:09Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:12I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:22I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:26You said, um, couple?
00:27:29I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:27:33She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:38She was so sweet.
00:27:43Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:46No, it's...
00:27:48It's an old wound.
00:27:49I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:54Daniel!
00:27:56Sweet and caring.
00:27:58So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:01He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:04And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:11Fuck!
00:28:13I'm gonna get my shit and go.
00:28:17Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:18You once liked my short film.
00:28:20I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:22It needs the right producer.
00:28:23I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:25Where have you been?
00:28:26I kept calling.
00:28:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:28Huh?
00:28:29What?
00:28:30I've been busy.
00:28:31I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:32Uh, seriously?
00:28:33Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:34I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:35Uh, yeah.
00:28:36That's what you want to call it?
00:28:37What?
00:28:38That's what you want to call it?
00:28:39I don't know.
00:28:40I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:42Where have you been?
00:28:43I kept calling.
00:28:44I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:45Huh?
00:28:46What?
00:28:47I've been busy.
00:28:48Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:51Uh, seriously?
00:28:52Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:54I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:58Uh, yeah.
00:28:59That's what you want to call it?
00:29:02I...
00:29:03I just...
00:29:05I'm sorry.
00:29:06I...
00:29:07Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:13It is what it is.
00:29:16But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:19You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:24Then I think you should go for it.
00:29:25I 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.
00:29:35Seriously.
00:29:36I...
00:29:37I care about you.
00:29:42I'm not bad.
00:29:43I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:46I know when you're angry.
00:29:47Really?
00:29:48I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:50I pay attention?
00:29:52Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:55She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:58That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:00A headline.
00:30:01A performance.
00:30:02Sabrina.
00:30:04Sabrina.
00:30:08Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:09You know what?
00:30:11I hate fighting.
00:30:12So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:15I was thinking...
00:30:17We could...
00:30:18Revisit your script.
00:30:19I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:24You telling me you finally read it?
00:30:26Well, yeah.
00:30:27The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:30The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:33I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:35Me and you.
00:30:36The 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,
00:30:48and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:52Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:55There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:58I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:01Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:04What?
00:31:15I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:31:26Well, if I had a lot of experience making it for you, I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:30That's not what I meant.
00:31:32I like it when you make it.
00:31:36I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:40I knew it.
00:31:41You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:44I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:48God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:53Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:56It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:58No, Daniel.
00:32:00No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:07Look what you made me do.
00:32:08Just leave it.
00:32:12I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:15And what?
00:32:17It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:19I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:21And look what I get for it.
00:32:23You know what?
00:32:25Forget it.
00:32:26I have a mirror.
00:32:27We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:38What?
00:32:43Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:46Yeah. Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:47Not quite.
00:32:48That was the divorce contract.
00:32:50But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:32:55This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:56Remember that.
00:32:57I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:09I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:15Oh, please. She's always been so secretive.
00:33:18I mean, this is her movie premiere and where is her husband?
00:33:21Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:24I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:27Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:33Come here.
00:33:37Jackson!
00:33:38We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:40Do 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?
00:33:49Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:52Oh, I hope so.
00:33:53I really hope so.
00:33:54He's way cooler than my old boring real dad.
00:33:58Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:01Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:10What are you doing here?
00:34:11You never come to these things.
00:34:14Well, that's gotta be the husband.
00:34:17Get lost! You embarrass us!
00:34:19Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.
00:34:22I wish you never were my dad!
00:34:27Is there a problem?
00:34:33Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:39If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:42I wish Preston was my dad. You're a pathetic loser!
00:34:45Zip 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, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:03Hmm. That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:07Doesn'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?
00:35:16You were revolting. No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:20Hey!
00:35:22Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:24Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:28Yeah. Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:30Oh, yeah? What lesson's that, Preston?
00:35:33You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:37Hmm.
00:35:41Oh!
00:35:54What the hell?
00:36:00What happened?
00:36:02Oh, my God! Daniel!
00:36:04What the hell happened?
00:36:06Daniel, you're bleeding. Are you okay?
00:36:09Look at her go.
00:36:11Hollywood's finest.
00:36:13Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:15It's Daniel. He'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?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:37Daniel, is that true?
00:36:41Sabrina.
00:36:43Oh!
00:36:45Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:47I think one of them's broken.
00:36:48Sabrina. Honey.
00:36:51We need to help Preston.
00:36:55But Daniel.
00:36:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:12Mommy, please! We can't leave him!
00:37:14I... I have... I have to help Preston.
00:37:33Come on, Jackson.
00:37:34Daniel!
00:37:35I got you.
00:37:36Don't let me go!
00:37:37She's made her choice. There's no going back.
00:37:39We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:40Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:37:41Now we can make a clean break.
00:37:42I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:37:43There's an Uber waiting for you outside.

00:42:57It's not us.
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:03He loves me. He loves Jackson.
00:43:08He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.
00:43:11After all these years, everything 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. Is everything okay? You sound panicked?
00:43:50Mom!
00:43:52Mom!
00:43:54Daniel, he just left us. Do you know where he is?
00:44:01We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:04Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:09You knew?
00:44:11I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:22I'm hungry!
00:44:24Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:30I have something to tell you.
00:44:34Your dad...
00:44:37Your dad...
00:44:39He's left us.
00:44:41I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:43Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:46Why would you say that?
00:44:48He was so embarrassing! Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:51Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:53What did Preston say?
00:44:55He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets then raising a young man.
00:45:02He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone!
00:45:05Mr. Eastwood is way cooler! He can be my new dad!
00:45:09Jackson! You have a dad! And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:14Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:23Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:26Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:30I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:32Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37No, but I'm not surprised.
00:45:39Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:44Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:48Okay? He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:51Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:55And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:58What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:01It's despicable.
00:46:03I can't do this anymore.
00:46:05I cancel everything.
00:46:07The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:10I don't want to be seen.
00:46:12I can't pretend.
00:46:14I just want him back.
00:46:16Oh, honey.
00:46:18It's time to let him go.
00:46:20You don't love him anyway.
00:46:22And 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.
00:46:34He cares for me.
00:46:36He sees me.
00:46:37He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:41But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:44Daniel's my husband.
00:46:46And the father of my son.
00:46:48Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice wanting nothing to do with this child just because the contract ended?
00:46:54Contract?
00:46:56What contract?
00:46:58What are you talking about?
00:47:04Forget it.
00:47:05Forget it.
00:47:06Forget it.
00:47:07Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:09When 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!
00:47:20Fine.
00:47:21I 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.
00:47:41I had to save you.
00:47:43She'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.
00:48:05It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:08How 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?
00:48:24You 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.
00:48:43Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:45No, he can't be gone.
00:48:47He can't.
00:48:48Yes, he is gone and he is gone forever.
00:48:52He can't be.
00:48:53He can't be gone.
00:48:54He can't.
00:49:07He can't be gone forever.
00:49:08He can't be gone forever.
00:49:09He can't be gone forever.
00:49:10He can't be gone forever.
00:49:11He can't be gone forever.
00:49:12He can't be gone forever.
00:49:13He can't be gone forever.
00:49:15I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated
00:49:20a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:24Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:28Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:34What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:36Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:40Nobody told me how.
00:49:42Oh, man.
00:49:43How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:45I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:48Uh, yeah.
00:49:49God, 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 gave up the dream.
00:49:56But London?
00:49:58London lit the fire under me.
00:50:00And I feel like I've found my voice.
00:50:02And it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:12Hollywood.
00:50:14Get out of the country.
00:50:15If 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.
00:50:53Two-time Golden Globe award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:58Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:02We'll never tell.
00:51:07Oh, my God. Thanks for saving me, Emily.
00:51:09She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:11I know. Jeez.
00:51:12This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this has happened 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. Finish me, I know.
00:51:31I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:33You 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...
00:51:42The world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:51:45Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:59Met them.
00:52:00Our press is good press.
00:52:03Daniel becomes an award-winning director?
00:52:09And he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:14He can't do this to me!
00:52:16Sabrina.
00:52:17You don't need him.
00:52:18Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:20How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:23Move on?
00:52:25Please, honey.
00:52:26He is using her.
00:52:28Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hm?
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!
00:52:41Don't you see it?
00:52:42Sabrina.
00:52:44Look at what you've got.
00:52:46A celebrated career.
00:52:47A mansion in the hills.
00:52:49An adorable kid.
00:52:51Well, and he's not whining.
00:52:52And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:54Your dream man.
00:52:56You have everything.
00:52:58I don't.
00:52:59Have.
00:53:00Him.
00:53:01Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:02Go have the chef make something.
00:53:04No, I hate what she cooks.
00:53:05And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:07Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:09Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:11He's your dad.
00:53:12No!
00:53:13Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:15Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:18It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:20When did he get so cruel?
00:53:22You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:26A doormat.
00:53:27Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:29Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:31Enough!
00:53:32Enough!
00:53:33You little shit!
00:53:34Enough!
00:53:35Just enough!
00:53:36Sabrina?
00:53:37What's gotten into you?
00:53:39Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:43Whoa.
00:53:44What's going on here?
00:53:46This 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.
00:53:55And if you keep talking like that, I'm gonna put you in a time-out.
00:53:58It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:01Hey, are you really gonna get mad at Jackson for what? Making fun of that fucking loser? Really?
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.
00:54:25That'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, we're America's power couple.
00:54:34To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:37Face 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.
00:54:44Yeah, I 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, okay?
00:54:56Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:54:59I wanna marry you.
00:55:01We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:03What's my birthday?
00:55:04Huh?
00:55:05What 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?
00:55:12Oh, oh wait.
00:55:13What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:15You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:18You don't love me.
00:55:19You 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 wanna ever see you again.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:34We're over.
00:55:35Babe, babe, come on.
00:55:36Please.
00:55:37Please, I love you.
00:55:38Just think about it.
00:55:39Look at the press.
00:55:40What does it look like?
00:55:42If I have to call my security,
00:55:44all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:46Get out.
00:55:47Babe, just...
00:55:48Now.
00:55:49Just give me your hand.
00:55:50No.
00:55:51I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:54Nobody sees the real thing.
00:55:56I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:58I see all of you.
00:56:00And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:56:03He truly knew me.
00:56:06He loved me.
00:56:08Every flaw.
00:56:10Every fear.
00:56:11Contract or not.
00:56:13He truly loved me.
00:56:16I saved you from social suicide!
00:56:18Saved me?
00:56:19You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:22Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:24And he saved me from you.
00:56:27Security!
00:56:30Security!
00:56:31Come on.
00:56:32Just let's talk about this.
00:56:33No.
00:56:34Come on.
00:56:35Celeste!
00:56:36Do something!
00:56:37Sabrina!
00:56:38Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:39Was that really necessary?
00:56:41I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:56:44and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:46Is that all you care about?
00:56:48The fame?
00:56:49The headlines?
00:56:50The brand deals?
00:56:51God!
00:56:52You're supposed to be my mother first,
00:56:54not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:57Sabrina.
00:56:58You are being dramatic.
00:56:59Of course I care about you.
00:57:02I love you.
00:57:04Then prove it.
00:57:05If you ever want me in front of a camera again,
00:57:08then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:22You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:24I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:26In film school,
00:57:28we were literally told to watch every single film
00:57:30that you ever produced.
00:57:31I mean, you know this.
00:57:33You're a legend.
00:57:35I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:36Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:38You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:40I appreciate the compliment,
00:57:41but I mean, I'm doing alright.
00:57:42I got projects.
00:57:43Come on!
00:57:44You're built for billion-dollar franchises,
00:57:46Hollywood blockbusters,
00:57:47the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:57:49not London.
00:57:50That's where you belong!
00:57:52To be honest, I already did all I.
00:57:54It didn't really end well.
00:57:56Let me guess.
00:57:57A girl?
00:57:58If by a girl, he means
00:58:00Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:02You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:06You can become a household name,
00:58:08and I can get you there.
00:58:10You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:11Three-picture deal.
00:58:12$200 million budget each.
00:58:14Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:16I don't know what to say.
00:58:17Just say yes.
00:58:18You have my number.
00:58:20Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:22Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:24You can't run away from the past.
00:58:25You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:39Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:41Can we talk?
00:58:43Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:47Of course.
00:58:48It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:53Is this a personal story?
00:58:55Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:58Oh, she knows who she is.
00:59:02I'll leave it at that.
00:59:04You arrogant little shit.
00:59:09I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:19It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:20I need a favor.
00:59:21I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
00:59:27It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:31Mom, what are you doing?
00:59:37Did you just break my TV?
00:59:39Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:42You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:44You've been so kind though.
00:59:46It's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:49He's back.
00:59:52Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:55Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:58I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:00I need to get on that movie.
01:00:02Absolutely not.
01:00:03You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:05If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:08Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:11He still loves me.
01:00:13He has to.
01:00:15I just need to talk to him.
01:00:18Let him go.
01:00:20Mom.
01:00:21Honey, I...
01:00:22You know I just want what's best for you.
01:00:23Right?
01:00:24I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:25I love you.
01:00:26I love you too.
01:00:27Here we go.
01:00:28This is, um...
01:00:29It's another movie deal.
01:00:30I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:31Okay.
01:00:32Okay.
01:00:33Okay.
01:00:34Did you get his location?
01:00:35The Oaks.
01:00:36The Oaks.
01:00:3780 p.m.
01:00:38After I'm done with Edira.
01:00:39Did you get his location?
01:01:04The Oaks, 8 p.m.
01:01:07After I'm done with him,
01:01:09Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:12He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:23She's not protecting me.
01:01:25She's protecting her business.
01:01:27And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:29But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:32It's so nice having you back.
01:01:36And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:38Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:40A couple.
01:01:42Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people,
01:01:45if you can even call them that.
01:01:47But you're healthy now.
01:01:48And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:50I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina,
01:01:53but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:55The marriage, the kids.
01:01:57I mean, we really tried.
01:01:59I thought I could make it go for it,
01:02:00but, um, it's over.
01:02:04It's over.
01:02:05I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy
01:02:07she thinks Preston Niswick can offer.
01:02:16Oh.
01:02:17You haven't heard?
01:02:19She dumped him.
01:02:21It was all over People magazine.
01:02:22She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:26Oh, my God.
01:02:27What?
01:02:33Daniel!
01:02:37Stop!
01:02:45Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:46I'm here to help you.
01:02:48Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:02:51Let's go home.
01:02:52Sabrina?
01:02:53How could you?
01:02:54What?
01:02:54I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition,
01:02:57but he said no.
01:02:58I begged and pleaded.
01:03:00Stop lying.
01:03:01I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:06And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too,
01:03:08to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:11Oh, my God.
01:03:12You're disgusting.
01:03:13I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:15Not anymore.
01:03:16Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:21I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:24I'm your mother.
01:03:26I only want what's best for you.
01:03:29What's best for me?
01:03:32You've been controlling my life
01:03:34ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:37That all ends today.
01:03:41You're fired.
01:03:44Fired.
01:03:46No.
01:03:49No.
01:03:53No.
01:03:54You can't do this to me.
01:03:56Please, please, sweetie.
01:03:58I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:59You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:04I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:07You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:09There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:13I made you.
01:04:15You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:19I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:21We're done here, Mom.
01:04:29If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine,
01:04:34you'll leave now.
01:04:36Without another word.
01:04:38I have something to say.
01:04:49I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:55I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:58I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:02I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:11Apologize to your father.
01:05:13Do I have to?
01:05:15Who raised you?
01:05:18Cared for you?
01:05:20Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:24Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:28He did.
01:05:29He loved you.
01:05:30But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:32I was wrong.
01:05:34Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:39And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:43I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:47It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:49I still love you.
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:51Come on, Jackson.
01:05:53Let's go.
01:06:00I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:03For everything.
01:06:13I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:15You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:17I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:22They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:25They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:32People can change.
01:06:34But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:36And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:49It's awesome!
01:06:50We're here, Daniel!
01:06:51Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on the shelf for ten years?
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:57I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:03But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:04Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:16Way to go, John!
01:07:17Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:38We'll keep in touch.
01:07:39How many more do we have today?
01:07:4740, sir.
01:07:48Jesus.
01:07:49Yay, boy!
01:07:50How are we looking?
01:07:51We're still digging.
01:07:52Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:56I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:59All right, here's the deal.
01:08:00The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:03Today?
01:08:04Today?
01:08:05Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:07That's why I love you, man.
01:08:08Cool under pressure.
01:08:09This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:15Oh, my God.
01:08:16All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:18That would be Emily Blake.
01:08:21Emily.
01:08:29Emily.
01:08:30Amazing as always.
01:08:32You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:35Please.
01:08:36I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:41How's LA treating you?
01:08:43Oh, my God.
01:08:44Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:46But I am...
01:08:48I'm glad to be back.
01:08:49Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:52Yeah.
01:08:52But it suits you.
01:08:55You definitely belong here.
01:08:59I do miss you, though.
01:09:02It was fun.
01:09:03Playing the part.
01:09:05British starlet.
01:09:06American director.
01:09:07I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:13Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:16Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:21You were amazing, as always.
01:09:24It's just...
01:09:25It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:30I never was, was I?
01:09:32Anyways.
01:09:34Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:37Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:39Yeah.
01:09:39Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:52Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:55And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:03Oh, my God.
01:10:04What am I going to do?
01:10:11That was quick.
01:10:22What are you doing here?
01:10:23I came to audition.
01:10:29Did you bring any representation?
01:10:31No.
01:10:32I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:36I'm starting fresh.
01:10:38Right, um...
01:10:41Hi.
01:10:42I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:47Don't let me go!
01:10:48I got you.
01:10:49I'll never let you go.
01:10:50Are you okay?
01:10:54Yeah.
01:10:55It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:58never really healed.
01:11:01I understand.
01:11:05Daniel Johnson.
01:11:08Nice to meet you.
01:11:12Please.
01:11:12Remember, you're ready.
01:11:21Now, are you ready?
