00:00:00This is so going viral. I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:00:03It looks like more than dating. Is this your son?
00:00:07I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:00:10Don't be silly. You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:00:14That's what all the boys at school say.
00:00:16He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:00:19But Preston is awesome. He's an action spy.
00:00:23I wish he was my dad.
00:00:26My own son doesn't respect me.
00:00:29Well, we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:00:36It's okay, buddy. Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:00:38If you want me around, I'm in.
00:00:42That is if mom's school with it.
00:00:44Oh, Preston, I don't know. Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:00:48Preston, what are you doing?
00:00:52Come on. Let's give him a show.
00:00:59Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:01:14I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:01:17Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:01:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:01:27And the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:01:32Daniel, he's here? He...
00:01:33Did he see us? Is he looking over here?
00:01:36Oh, fuck, that's not good. I was just doing that for publicity.
00:01:38I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:01:40Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:01:42Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:01:45Who cares about him, mommy? Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:01:49Jackson, enough.
00:01:52What do I do?
00:01:54Well, that's it then.
00:01:56Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:01:57I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:02:01I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:02:04You're really good at that.
00:02:06Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:02:09A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:02:16I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:02:21I will come after you with everything I got.
00:02:24Daniel loves me. He has to understand.
00:02:26This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:02:30Daniel, I can explain.
00:02:38Daniel, what is this?
00:02:39Look what you made me do.
00:02:48Just leave it.
00:02:52I just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:02:56And what?
00:02:57It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:02:59I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:03:01And look what I get for it.
00:03:03You know what?
00:03:04Forget it.
00:03:05I have a mirror.
00:03:06Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:03:08What?
00:03:24Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:03:26Yeah.
00:03:27Ex-mother-in-law.
00:03:27Not quite.
00:03:28That was the divorce contract.
00:03:30But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:03:35This is showbiz, baby.
00:03:36Remember that.
00:03:37I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:03:39I want a divorce.
00:03:47Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:03:49Huh?
00:03:49I want a divorce.
00:03:52I want a divorce.
00:03:54I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:56Give me chicken nuggets.
00:03:58Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:02Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:04We'll get you some real food.
00:04:05Seriously, your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:15I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:17What is this?
00:04:19Another contract?
00:04:20How big is the role?
00:04:23Who's directing?
00:04:24It's not a...
00:04:25Whatever.
00:04:25My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:27Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:04:30Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:04:34I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:04:39Pull my weight?
00:04:40Yeah, you get it.
00:04:44Love you.
00:04:45I've devoted myself to this family for 10 long years.
00:04:49If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:04:52Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:04:57Call it a lesson.
00:04:58I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:04:59He's not your kid.
00:05:01I wish I was.
00:05:02I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:05:05I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:05:08Ouch.
00:05:09I mean, you just heard your son.
00:05:11So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:05:13Hermit.
00:05:13Maybe it will be.
00:05:15But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:05:18You?
00:05:20Man of the house?
00:05:21Please.
00:05:21You're a pussy in an apron.
00:05:23I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:05:26And you're a washed up pack.
00:05:29Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:05:30How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:05:33I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:05:35I'm a fucking star.
00:05:37A star?
00:05:38A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:05:41Jackson, come on.
00:05:42I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:05:44No, I'm not going.
00:05:46Preston's way cooler than you.
00:05:48Preston.
00:05:49Preston.
00:05:49You did lose a lot of blood.
00:06:16So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquids.
00:06:19To be honest, that's...
00:06:21I could use a break from home.
00:06:23Trouble with the missus?
00:06:26Uh, yeah.
00:06:28Pretty obvious.
00:06:30Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:06:33I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:06:40True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:06:44I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:06:47You said, um, a couple?
00:06:50I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official.
00:06:55She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:06:59She was so sweet.
00:07:00You need a missus to check on that shoulder for you?
00:07:08No, it's...
00:07:09It's an old wound.
00:07:12I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:07:16Daniel!
00:07:16Sweet and caring.
00:07:20So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:07:23He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:07:26And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:07:28I can't let her create a public scene.
00:07:39All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:07:42Are you going somewhere?
00:07:44Honey!
00:07:46Oh, what a coincidence!
00:07:47We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:07:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:07:52A vacation?
00:07:53Finally.
00:07:54You're paying attention.
00:07:56Yeah.
00:07:56Yeah.
00:07:58I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:07:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:08:01What are we supposed to do without you?
00:08:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:08:05That's not what I meant.
00:08:06Whoa.
00:08:06Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:08:09That's fine.
00:08:10Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:08:13Just like any good husband would.
00:08:15Oh, I see.
00:08:16Is it me?
00:08:18Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:08:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:08:22I always knew you were the self-loving type.
00:08:24You know what?
00:08:25Maybe I should go.
00:08:26I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:08:28No, please stay.
00:08:29I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:08:32No, you know what?
00:08:34I'll go.
00:08:36And clearly she wants you.
00:08:37I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:08:39Daniel, wait.
00:08:41I won't ever let you go.
00:08:43He won't leave.
00:08:44He promised.
00:08:45It doesn't have to be like this.
00:08:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:08:49I'm going to go back.
00:08:55Daniel!
00:09:02The movie's greenlit and the studio wants you to direct.
00:09:05We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:09:06I can't.
00:09:08My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:09:10After all I've sacrificed.
00:09:12My scripts.
00:09:13My career.
00:09:14My future.
00:09:16All pushed aside.
00:09:18At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:09:21I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:09:25Hey, Mom.
00:09:25How you doing?
00:09:26Oh, good, dear.
00:09:27I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:09:32Do you need more?
00:09:33No, no, no, no.
00:09:34You've already done so much.
00:09:36I'm just trying to help.
00:09:38I know.
00:09:39But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:09:42I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:09:50I am, Mom.
00:09:52And I promise.
00:09:55Very soon.
00:09:58Everything's going to change.
00:10:00You look so wonderful, dear.
00:10:01You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:10:04Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:10:06I gotta go.
00:10:07Love you.
00:10:10What is it, Mom?
00:10:12Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:10:14Our favorite leading man.
00:10:16Come on.
00:10:23Preston Eastwood.
00:10:24The man that broke my wife's heart.
00:10:27And is stealing it back again.
00:10:34You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:10:39What was that?
00:10:39Daniel!
00:10:48What is happening?
00:10:49It was Dad, Mom.
00:10:50Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:10:53What?
00:10:53You're so scared.
00:10:54You got me pretty good, babe.
00:10:55What the hell, Daniel?
00:10:57I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:10:58I came in looking for a fight.
00:11:00What?
00:11:01I didn't?
00:11:01Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:11:03You're acting like a jealous child.
00:11:06I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:11:08He threw a fish tank at me.
00:11:09It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:11:11Grow up.
00:11:12Remember where in the public eye?
00:11:14What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:11:16What?
00:11:17Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:11:19Maybe I should go.
00:11:21Oh, I'm sorry.
00:11:23No.
00:11:23Oh, my God.
00:11:25He's lying.
00:11:27You're a monster.
00:11:29And in front of your son?
00:11:31You have to be kidding.
00:11:33We have to get you to the hospital.
00:11:34Yeah.
00:11:36We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:11:38Come on.
00:11:39Clean this up.
00:11:42Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:11:47She's mine now, loser.
00:11:51I'm bleeding out.
00:12:01I think I hit an artery.
00:12:03I need an ambulance now.
00:12:05Now.
00:12:12Good to see you.
00:12:13Oh, my gosh.
00:12:14How long has it been?
00:12:15Oh, two weeks.
00:12:16Look at you.
00:12:17Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:12:21Yeah, of course, babe.
00:12:22Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:12:24Are you kidding?
00:12:24Oh, Daniel.
00:12:25Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:12:29Oh, there he is.
00:12:30The assistant.
00:12:31I'll tell you what.
00:12:32There's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:12:35How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:12:40Stop.
00:12:40I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:12:48Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:12:51Daniel.
00:12:52Oh.
00:12:52Don't embarrass me.
00:12:53No, it's fine.
00:12:54Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:12:59He's not just tough.
00:13:00He's Brett Stale tough.
00:13:02You think, you know?
00:13:03My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:13:06He doesn't let me do anything.
00:13:07Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:13:11What are you saying, huh?
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:13Sabrina.
00:13:14I think it's time he leaves.
00:13:17It's fine.
00:13:18It's fine.
00:13:20Just relax, okay?
00:13:22Be nice.
00:13:23Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:13:37when he breaks her heart again.
00:13:39And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:13:47That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:13:50Who knew the house hubby had it in him?
00:13:52I'm an industry joke now.
00:13:55Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing
00:13:58sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:14:00Wow, you did your homework.
00:14:01Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:14:06I will tell you this.
00:14:08I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:14:13Daniel really did a bit.
00:14:15The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:14:19You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?
00:14:21You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:14:25Our contract expired.
00:14:27I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:14:29If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:14:33The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:14:36I'll always love my son, but he's a bully and he learned it from the best in the business,
00:14:43his grandmother.
00:14:45You used to worship Sabrina.
00:14:46What happened?
00:14:48That was a long time ago.
00:14:49America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:14:53All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:14:56But her career is hanging by a thread.
00:14:59I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:15:02You've always loved her, Daniel.
00:15:04I've seen it.
00:15:06She needs that now.
00:15:08Stay.
00:15:09Marry her.
00:15:11Love her.
00:15:11So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:15:15I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:15:18And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:15:22If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they
00:15:27ever did to her.
00:15:29This was the last one.
00:15:32Mom, Daniel.
00:15:35What's going on?
00:15:36Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:15:41I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:15:45To ten years of heartbreak?
00:15:47I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:16:06Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:16:09She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:16:14Sabrina Donovan?
00:16:15I could scream.
00:16:16I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:16:18Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:16:22Oh, gee.
00:16:23I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:16:26A scene that I wrote.
00:16:27Uncredited, of course.
00:16:28Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:16:31Wait.
00:16:32Are you two dating?
00:16:33Oh, well, actually.
00:16:34This is totally a date.
00:16:36All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:16:44Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:16:47You're not really a part of my brand.
00:16:49Your brand?
00:16:50It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:16:53You get it, right?
00:17:02So, you two are a thing?
00:17:04Well, I...
00:17:05Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:17:06We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:17:16Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:17:21No, it's not like that.
00:17:22I...
00:17:23What?
00:17:24You know what?
00:17:26Fine.
00:17:29You two look great together.
00:17:31Daniel, I...
00:17:32And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:17:47Um...
00:17:48I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:18:00Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:18:04I was never the homemaker.
00:18:06Please, Daniel.
00:18:11I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:18:27If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:18:33I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:18:36Look at her now.
00:18:50Playing house for another man.
00:18:52If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:18:56Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:19:05You once liked my short film.
00:19:07I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:19:17It needs the right producer.
00:19:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:19:24Where have you been?
00:19:24I kept calling.
00:19:26I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:19:30Huh?
00:19:34What?
00:19:35I've been busy.
00:19:36Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:19:39Seriously?
00:19:40Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:19:42I told you, he's just a friend.
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:47That's what you want to call it?
00:19:49I...
00:19:50I just...
00:19:52I'm sorry.
00:19:54I...
00:19:54Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:20:01It is what it is.
00:20:03But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:20:07You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:20:12And I think you should go for it.
00:20:13I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:20:15But I just...
00:20:17I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:20:23Seriously.
00:20:24I...
00:20:25I care about you.
00:20:30I'm not mad.
00:20:33I've known you for 14 years.
00:20:35I know when you're angry.
00:20:35Really?
00:20:37I didn't think you paid attention.
00:20:39I pay attention?
00:20:41Since when do I not pay attention?
00:20:44She signed the papers without reading them.
00:20:47That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:20:49A headline.
00:20:50A performance.
00:20:53Sabrina.
00:20:53Yeah, it's nice.
00:20:58But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:21:08Oh, careful.
00:21:10You alright?
00:21:11I'm still starving.
00:21:15Make me some food.
00:21:17Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:21:19Stew?
00:21:21Ew.
00:21:22What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:21:23I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:21:27Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:21:30I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:21:33Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:21:36Oh, babe.
00:21:38For real?
00:21:39Yeah.
00:21:39My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:21:43Donovan Cosmetics.
00:21:45I'm rich.
00:21:47Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:21:51I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:21:55See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:21:56You're so caught up on the morals.
00:21:58You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:22:00They were so dull.
00:22:01Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:22:05Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:22:09So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:22:13My treat.
00:22:15Here we go.
00:22:15What?
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:17Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:22:18I don't mind.
00:22:19All of you insist.
00:22:21I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:22:22Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:22:31Anyways.
00:22:32Come on, Ben.
00:22:32Let's go.
00:22:34Looks great.
00:22:35Gotcha.
00:22:35There we go.
00:22:36Oh, there's Paps.
00:22:40You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:22:42Last time.
00:22:44I promise.
00:22:46You're right.
00:22:47It is the last time.
00:22:50Hey, guys.
00:22:53Jackson.
00:22:54Jackson.
00:22:55Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:23:05Contract's fine.
00:23:07It's over.
00:23:09Sabrina, I'm good.
00:23:10You know what?
00:23:11I hate fighting, so let's just forget about this, okay?
00:23:16I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:23:23I gave that to you three years ago.
00:23:25You tell me you finally read it?
00:23:27Well, yeah.
00:23:28The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:23:32The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:23:35I mean, we have to do this.
00:23:36Me and you.
00:23:37The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:23:41I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:23:45A long time ago.
00:23:47Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:23:50and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:23:54Just like we used to in film school.
00:23:57There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:24:01I would have melted in her hands.
00:24:03Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:24:06Fine.
00:24:15I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:24:26and it was awful.
00:24:29I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:24:31and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:24:33That's not what I meant.
00:24:35I like it when you make it.
00:24:37I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:24:43I knew it.
00:24:45You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:24:47I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:24:51God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:24:56Married people are fucking boring.
00:25:00It's good to know where you stand.
00:25:01No, Daniel.
00:25:03No, that's not what I meant.
00:25:07Please.
00:25:08Better than yours.
00:25:10Yeah.
00:25:11Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:25:13Oh, good.
00:25:16You're up.
00:25:17Um, after dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:25:22It's fun.
00:25:24Why don't look at me like that?
00:25:26I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:25:28Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:25:33How lucky for him.
00:25:35He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:25:38Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:25:42Listen, Matt, I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:25:48You can trust me.
00:25:50Preston, I think you're a little drunk.
00:25:53You need to go right now.
00:25:54All right.
00:25:56Oh, right.
00:25:57Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:26:00When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:26:06I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:26:09Just ignore him.
00:26:10He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:26:12No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:26:15Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:26:18Jealous?
00:26:18My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:26:23Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:26:28You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:26:32That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:26:41Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:26:45My God.
00:26:47My God, you're unbelievable.
00:26:53What's going on?
00:26:55Honey!
00:26:57I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:27:01If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.
00:27:04But I need to go.
00:27:05I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:27:07Think about it, Daniel.
00:27:14Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:27:19Then I will be free.
00:27:21Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:27:23Ugh, can it wait?
00:27:24I'm seriously so spent.
00:27:27I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:27:31I saw it.
00:27:32Preston was there.
00:27:32I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:27:37I mean, we owe him.
00:27:39Yeah, and then he cheated on you.
00:27:41And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:27:43I'm starving.
00:27:44When are we eating?
00:27:45Lunch is on the stove.
00:27:47But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:27:50No!
00:27:51I want to eat now!
00:27:58I'm starving.
00:28:02Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:28:05He doesn't listen.
00:28:06Daniel, please.
00:28:08I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:28:14I got something I need to tell you.
00:28:17I'll make it quick.
00:28:18This isn't easy.
00:28:19But I know.
00:28:20Ew, what is this?
00:28:22It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:28:24I don't want healthy food.
00:28:25I want chicken nuggets.
00:28:26Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:28:28You can't have that every day.
00:28:30It's not healthy for you.
00:28:32But I want them.
00:28:34Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:28:37You suck!
00:28:38I want chicken nuggets!
00:28:40Give me chicken nuggets!
00:28:49I waited.
00:28:50I gave it everything I had.
00:28:53But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:28:56And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:29:01Enough.
00:29:02Just enough.
00:29:04I want a divorce.
00:29:20Mommy, please.
00:29:22We can't leave him.
00:29:23I...
00:29:24I have...
00:29:25I have to help Preston.
00:29:39Come on, Jackson.
00:29:42I have to help.
00:29:43I have to help.
00:29:43I have to help.
00:29:43I have to help.
00:29:44I have to help.
00:29:45I have to help.
00:29:46I have to help.
00:29:47I have to help.
00:29:48Daniel!
00:29:49I got you.
00:29:50Don't let me go!
00:29:51Don't let me go!
00:29:52She's made her choice.
00:29:54There's no going back.
00:29:55We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:30:01Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:30:12All right, cut.
00:30:13That's a wrap, everyone.
00:30:16We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:30:20Sabrina was a rising star.
00:30:22I was just the director's assistant.
00:30:26Our future's ahead of us.
00:30:28If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:30:58None of us.
00:31:05Destrored me, Preston.
00:31:07You sent me one.
00:31:10No one!
00:31:15...
00:31:18...
00:31:22Sriya, DON'T!
00:31:24Stay back!
00:31:25Don't I mean it!
00:31:26I mean it.
00:31:28Sabrina, don't do this.
00:31:32Just...
00:31:33Just give me your hand.
00:31:48No!
00:31:50Daniel!
00:31:52I got you.
00:31:53No! Don't let me go!
00:31:56I won't ever let you go.
00:32:03I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:32:07Nobody sees the real me.
00:32:08I see you, Sabrina.
00:32:10I see all of you.
00:32:13And you're never going to be alone again.
00:32:14There he is.
00:32:33God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:32:36Yeah, man.
00:32:37No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:32:39Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:32:43Got some.
00:32:45Yeah.
00:32:46What do you need?
00:32:47Oh, oh.
00:32:48Yeah, there you go.
00:32:49I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:32:51I doubt you'd like it.
00:32:52Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:32:54I'm bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:33:00Hey, uh...
00:33:01You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:33:06You're not?
00:33:07A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:33:08Why would I be threatened by that?
00:33:14It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:33:28What's wrong, Jackson?
00:33:30Mr. Eastwood!
00:33:31I want to play with the fist, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:33:35And it's unfair!
00:33:36That's a shame, huh?
00:33:37Uh, you know what?
00:33:38Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:33:39Here we go.
00:33:41Ooh.
00:33:42No!
00:33:44Not to play with that.
00:33:46You never let me do anything!
00:33:49Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:33:52You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:33:54It's not about the money.
00:33:56It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:33:58Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:34:01bad examples.
00:34:03Yeah?
00:34:03What's that supposed to mean?
00:34:06You're so annoying!
00:34:07Don't push.
00:34:09Don't push.
00:34:14I said don't push.
00:34:16Go get a book or something.
00:34:17Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:34:19He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:34:22God, what the hell?
00:34:23Just shut up.
00:34:24Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:34:37Now we can make a clean break.
00:34:39I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:34:42There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:34:47Get out of Hollywood.
00:34:48In fact, get out of the country.
00:34:51If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:34:58Don't worry about it.
00:35:00Don't worry about it.
00:35:13Just drive.
00:35:14I used to ache for her approval.
00:35:30Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:35:33Boy, it's all assets.
00:35:40Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:35:42The waves are all spousal support.
00:35:45No.
00:35:46No, he can't leave me.
00:35:48He can't do this to me.
00:35:49I won't sign off on it.
00:36:00No.
00:36:02All this time, he's going to leave me.
00:36:16No.
00:36:19What the hell?
00:36:21What happened?
00:36:23Oh my God.
00:36:25Daniel.
00:36:26What the hell happened?
00:36:28Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:29Are you okay?
00:36:31Look at her go.
00:36:32Hollywood's finest.
00:36:34Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:37It's Daniel.
00:36:38He's a monster.
00:36:40He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:43Mommy, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:46No.
00:36:47No, that's not true.
00:36:48If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:54Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:57Daniel.
00:36:59Is that true?
00:37:02Sabrina.
00:37:03Yeah, I think he got me in the ribs.
00:37:09I think one of them is broken.
00:37:11Sabrina.
00:37:12Honey.
00:37:13We need to help Preston.
00:37:16But Daniel.
00:37:21Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:24What the fuck?
00:37:26Seriously?
00:37:27Slow down.
00:37:28I know.
00:37:29What is he doing?
00:37:30Oh.
00:37:31I'm going to go call the doctor.
00:37:32Okay?
00:37:35What are you doing?
00:37:36I thought you were hurt.
00:37:38I think I'll pull through.
00:37:39Listen, what are you doing?
00:37:48What I've always wanted to.
00:37:50Come on.
00:37:51I know you want this.
00:37:52I see the way you look at me.
00:37:54And now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:37:57I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:38:00What am I doing?
00:38:12Daniel is still injured.
00:38:14He should be home.
00:38:17Sabrina?
00:38:26I'm hungry!
00:38:29Dad!
00:38:29Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:38:33Jackson?
00:38:36I have something to tell you.
00:38:39Your dad.
00:38:42Your dad.
00:38:44He's left us.
00:38:47I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:38:49Yay!
00:38:50He's gone!
00:38:50He's gone!
00:38:52Why would you say that?
00:38:54He was so embarrassing.
00:38:55Even Mr. Eastwood.
00:38:57Mr. Eastwood?
00:38:57What did Preston say?
00:39:00He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets than raising a young man.
00:39:06Oh my god.
00:39:08That's Preston Eastwood.
00:39:09How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:39:13If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:39:16I wish Preston was my dad.
00:39:18You're a pathetic loser.
00:39:19Zip it, Jackson.
00:39:21You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:39:26I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:39:28That's not what I see.
00:39:30You showed up uninvited.
00:39:32In street rags.
00:39:34Abused Sabrina's kid and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:39:38That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:39:42Doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.
00:39:44And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:39:48This was all a stunt, wasn't it?
00:39:51You were revolting.
00:39:53No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:39:55Hey.
00:39:57Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:39:59Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:40:03Yeah.
00:40:04Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:40:05Oh yeah?
00:40:06What lesson's that, Preston?
00:40:08You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:40:11Hmm.
00:40:16Oh!
00:40:18What are you talking about?
00:40:39Forget it.
00:40:40Forget it.
00:40:41Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:40:43When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day,
00:40:46you said that he was going on a trip.
00:40:48Is there something you're not telling me?
00:40:50Please.
00:40:51I just want the truth.
00:40:53Mom.
00:40:55Fine.
00:40:57I will tell you the truth.
00:40:59But promise me you won't get mad.
00:41:03I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:41:07But no, it was all for your own good.
00:41:09He was so lame and boring.
00:41:14Now he's gone.
00:41:16Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:41:18He can be my new dad.
00:41:20Jackson, you have a dad.
00:41:23And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:41:25Yeah, but I hate him.
00:41:26Hello?
00:41:27Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:41:36Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:41:38I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:41:41I'm sorry.
00:41:41I don't have the time.
00:41:42Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:41:46Was that done with your approval?
00:41:48No.
00:41:48But I'm not surprised.
00:41:50Flag his name.
00:41:52I want him frozen and cut off.
00:41:55Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:41:59Okay?
00:42:00He's not the man you think he is.
00:42:02Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:42:06And we need to find him at all costs.
00:42:17Preston, get off.
00:42:20What?
00:42:20Hey, we can finally.
00:42:22Come on.
00:42:23I said get off.
00:42:24What?
00:42:25I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:42:27No, forget about him.
00:42:28Look, I love Jackson.
00:42:31And I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:42:34I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:42:38I mean, come on.
00:42:38Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:42:41Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:42:43What?
00:42:45Look, he's already moved on.
00:42:49No.
00:42:49No.
00:42:50What have I done?
00:42:53Where is he?
00:42:54What about me?
00:42:56You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:42:59I need to go take care of my husband.
00:43:00I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:43:20Oh, please.
00:43:21She's always been so secretive.
00:43:24I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:43:27Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:43:30I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:43:33Oh, well, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:43:39Come here.
00:43:40Come here.
00:43:40Come here.
00:43:40Come here.
00:43:40Come here.
00:43:41Come here.
00:43:42Come here.
00:43:42Come here.
00:43:43Jackson!
00:43:44We were just talking about your mom.
00:43:46Um, do you know where she is or who she's with?
00:43:50She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:43:52He's been staying with us.
00:43:53Oh, really?
00:43:56Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:43:59Oh, I hope so.
00:44:00I really hope so.
00:44:01He's way cooler than my old, boring, real dad.
00:44:04Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:44:08Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:44:17What are you doing here?
00:44:19You never come to these things.
00:44:21Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:44:24Get lost.
00:44:25You embarrass us.
00:44:27Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:44:29I'm your father.
00:44:30I wish you never were my dad.
00:44:31What kind of coward abandons his family, huh?
00:44:44It's despicable.
00:44:46I can't do this anymore.
00:44:48I cancel everything.
00:44:50The interviews and the red carpets.
00:44:53I don't want to be seen.
00:44:55I can't pretend.
00:44:57I just want him back.
00:45:00Honey.
00:45:01It's time to let him go.
00:45:03You don't love him anyway.
00:45:06Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:45:12What?
00:45:13How could you say something like that?
00:45:15Of course I love Daniel.
00:45:18He cares for me.
00:45:19He sees me.
00:45:20He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:45:25But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:45:27Daniel is my husband and the father of my son.
00:45:32Yeah.
00:45:32Some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:45:35Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:45:38Contract?
00:45:41What contract?
00:45:42When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:45:47I had to save you.
00:45:49She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:45:52You've always been there for her.
00:45:55From film school to now.
00:45:56I've seen it.
00:45:58She needs you.
00:46:00Stay.
00:46:01Marry her.
00:46:02Love her.
00:46:02So that she's never alone again.
00:46:11It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:46:15How could you do this to me?
00:46:17I wanted to protect you.
00:46:19You wanted to control me.
00:46:21All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:46:24Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:46:26You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:46:34Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:46:36He kept you together.
00:46:38Where?
00:46:39Where did he go?
00:46:41I know he told you where he went.
00:46:43Where is he?
00:46:44You can do better than him.
00:46:46You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:46:49Hollywood starlet.
00:46:50Believe me, it's for the best.
00:46:52No.
00:46:53He can't be gone.
00:46:54He can't.
00:46:55Yes, he is gone.
00:46:57And he is gone forever.
00:46:59He can't be.
00:47:00He can't be gone.
00:47:02He can't.
00:47:23Hello?
00:47:24Excuse me.
00:47:25Excuse me.
00:47:27Hi.
00:47:27Have you seen my husband?
00:47:30Please.
00:47:30He was the one bleeding out.
00:47:32I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:47:36He didn't come back in, though.
00:47:40Oh, no.
00:47:41Oh, Daniel.
00:47:42Where are you?
00:47:44I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:47:48Please try again later.
00:47:49What have I done?
00:47:51Come on, Daniel.
00:48:03Come on, Daniel.
00:48:03Answer me.
00:48:10He's not gone.
00:48:12I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:48:14He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:48:26No.
00:48:30It's not possible.
00:48:32He will be back.
00:48:35No.
00:48:36It can't be.
00:48:47It's not a...
00:48:48Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:48:49My mom will look it over anyways.
00:48:52He loves me.
00:48:54He loves Jackson.
00:48:56He wouldn't just leave us.
00:48:58We're his family.
00:48:59After all these years,
00:49:02everything we've been through...
00:49:05I got you.
00:49:27Don't let me go!
00:49:28Was I ever really paying attention?
00:49:35Daniel?
00:49:37No, it's Mom.
00:49:38Is everything okay?
00:49:39You sound panicked.
00:49:40Mom.
00:49:42Mom.
00:49:44Daniel.
00:49:45He just left us.
00:49:48Do you know where he is?
00:49:51We have to find him.
00:49:52We can check the hospital or the...
00:49:54Oh, honey.
00:49:56It's over.
00:49:57Daniel's not coming back.
00:50:00You knew?
00:50:01I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:50:05Enough!
00:50:06Just enough!
00:50:07Sabrina?
00:50:09What's gotten into you?
00:50:10Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:50:13Whoa.
00:50:16What's going on here?
00:50:17This room feels really tense.
00:50:18Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:50:21I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:50:22No!
00:50:23I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:50:26And if you keep talking like that,
00:50:27I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:50:29It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:50:32Hey, baby.
00:50:37Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what,
00:50:40making fun of that fucking loser?
00:50:41Really?
00:50:42Loser?
00:50:43Yeah.
00:50:43You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:50:46And you've been mooching off of me
00:50:48and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:50:54I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox
00:50:58that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:51:02Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:51:10Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:51:14What's going through your head tonight?
00:51:17Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shit.
00:51:20Nobody told me how.
00:51:22Oh, man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:25I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:27Yeah.
00:51:29God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:32And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:34I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:36But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:51:40And I feel like I found my voice.
00:51:42And it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:44Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director,
00:51:48will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:52Hollywood.
00:51:52Get out of the country.
00:51:55If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:52:00I will make your life a living hell.
00:52:05Daniel?
00:52:09Security!
00:52:10Come on, just talk about this.
00:52:12No.
00:52:13Come on.
00:52:14Celeste, do something.
00:52:16Sabrina!
00:52:17Lauren, Sabrina!
00:52:18Was that really necessary?
00:52:21I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:52:25Is that all you care about?
00:52:27The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:52:31God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:52:37Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:52:39Of course I care about you.
00:52:42I love you.
00:52:44Then prove it.
00:52:45If you ever want me in front of a camera again,
00:52:48then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:52:55We're over.
00:52:56What?
00:52:57No, babe, babe, come on.
00:52:58Please.
00:52:58Please, I love you.
00:52:59Just think about it.
00:53:01Think of the press.
00:53:02What this will look like?
00:53:03If I have to call my security,
00:53:05all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:53:07Get out.
00:53:09Hey, just...
00:53:09Now!
00:53:10Just give me your hand.
00:53:11Come on.
00:53:11No.
00:53:12I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:53:16Nobody sees the real me.
00:53:17I see you, Sabrina.
00:53:19I see all of you.
00:53:22And you're never going to be alone again.
00:53:25He truly knew me.
00:53:28He loved me.
00:53:30Every flaw, every fear, contract or not,
00:53:35he truly loved me.
00:53:38I saved you from social suicide.
00:53:40Saved me?
00:53:41You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:53:44Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:53:46And he saved me from you.
00:53:49Security!
00:53:51Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:53:55Of course.
00:53:56It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart
00:53:59and comes out on top.
00:54:01Is this a personal story?
00:54:03Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:54:06Oh...
00:54:06Oh...
00:54:07She knows who she is.
00:54:10Um...
00:54:10I'll leave it at that.
00:54:12You arrogant little shit.
00:54:18I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country,
00:54:20I would unleash a world of hell.
00:54:27It's Celeste Donovan.
00:54:28I need a favor.
00:54:30I need you to track down Daniel Johnson
00:54:31and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:54:36It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:54:39Mom, what are you doing?
00:54:45Did you just break my TV?
00:54:47Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:54:51You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:54:53You've been so kind, though.
00:54:54Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
00:54:59He's back.
00:55:01Why didn't you tell me?
00:55:03Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:55:06I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:55:08I need you to get on that movie.
00:55:11Absolutely not.
00:55:12You're not working for your ex-husband.
00:55:14If you don't get me an audition,
00:55:16then I will get a manager who will.
00:55:17Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
00:55:20He still loves me.
00:55:23He has to.
00:55:25I just need to talk to him.
00:55:27Let him go.
00:55:29That's really, really low.
00:55:35Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing
00:55:38in the last year.
00:55:40Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:55:42To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:55:45Face it, Preston.
00:55:46You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:55:50And you're a fucking thief.
00:55:53Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:55:54You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:55:57I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:00Because you know what?
00:56:01Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:03It's not like that.
00:56:04Okay?
00:56:05Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:07I want to marry you.
00:56:09We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:11What's my birthday?
00:56:13Huh?
00:56:14What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:16What's my favorite color?
00:56:17My favorite song?
00:56:18Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:21Oh, oh wait.
00:56:22What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:24You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:27You don't love me.
00:56:28You don't even know me.
00:56:30This isn't a relationship.
00:56:32This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:35And you know what?
00:56:36I'm done.
00:56:37Get out.
00:56:38I don't want to ever see you again.
00:56:40We're over.
00:56:42Mom.
00:56:44Honey, I...
00:56:46You know, I just want what's best for you, right?
00:56:49I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
00:56:54I love you.
00:56:56I love you too.
00:56:59Here we go.
00:57:02This is, um...
00:57:04It's another movie deal.
00:57:05I'll tell you about it after.
00:57:06Okay.
00:57:07Did you get his location?
00:57:24The Oaks.
00:57:268 p.m.
00:57:27After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
00:57:32He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
00:57:34She's not protecting me.
00:57:46She's protecting her business.
00:57:48And I'm just a pawn.
00:57:49But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
00:57:53It's so nice having you back.
00:57:56And I don't just mean from the UK.
00:57:58Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
00:58:00A couple?
00:58:01Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people, if you can even call them that.
00:58:07But you're healthy now.
00:58:08And I'm at the top of my career.
00:58:11I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
00:58:16The marriage, the kids.
00:58:18I mean, we really tried.
00:58:20I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
00:58:23It's over.
00:58:25It's over.
00:58:25I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Niswick can offer.
00:58:37Oh.
00:58:38You haven't heard?
00:58:41She dumped him.
00:58:42It was all over People magazine.
00:58:44She ended it when his star faded.
00:58:48Oh, my God.
00:58:49What?
00:58:55Daniel.
00:58:55Amazing, as always.
00:59:03You flew in all the way from London for this?
00:59:06Please.
00:59:08I wasn't going to miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnstone.
00:59:12How's LA treating you?
00:59:14Oh, my God.
00:59:15Less tea, but way more traffic.
00:59:18But I am...
00:59:19I'm glad to be back.
00:59:21Well, it's no English countryside.
00:59:23Yeah.
00:59:24But it suits you.
00:59:27You definitely belong here.
00:59:31I do miss you, though.
00:59:33It was fun.
00:59:35Playing the part.
00:59:37British starlet.
00:59:38American director.
00:59:39I kept waiting for us to become something real.
00:59:43Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:59:50bitch?
00:59:51He can't do this to me.
00:59:53He can't do this to me.
00:59:55Sabrina.
00:59:56You don't need him.
00:59:57Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:59:59How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
01:00:02Move on?
01:00:04Please, honey.
01:00:05He is using her.
01:00:07Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
01:00:10He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
01:00:13How could you say that?
01:00:14I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
01:00:18He's proving that to the whole world.
01:00:21Don't you see it?
01:00:22Sabrina.
01:00:23Look at what you've got.
01:00:25A celebrated career.
01:00:26A mansion in the hills.
01:00:29An adorable kid.
01:00:30Well, when he's not whining.
01:00:32And don't forget about Preston.
01:00:34Your dream man.
01:00:36You have everything.
01:00:38I don't have him.
01:00:40Mom, I'm hungry.
01:00:42Go have the chef make something.
01:00:44No, I hate what she cooks.
01:00:45And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
01:00:47Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
01:00:49Don't talk about him like that.
01:00:51He's your dad.
01:00:52No, Preston is my real dad now.
01:00:54Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
01:00:58It was fun telling him what to do.
01:01:00When did he get so cruel?
01:01:02You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
01:01:06A doormat.
01:01:08Daniel's a doormat.
01:01:10Daniel's a doormat.
01:01:11Enough!
01:01:12You little shit!
01:01:16Stop.
01:01:24Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:01:27I'm here to help you.
01:01:28Sabrina.
01:01:30You're making a scene.
01:01:31Let's go home.
01:01:32Sabrina.
01:01:33How could you?
01:01:34What?
01:01:34I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:01:38I begged and pleaded.
01:01:40Stop lying.
01:01:41I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:01:46And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:01:51My God.
01:01:52You're disgusting.
01:01:54I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:01:55Not anymore.
01:01:57Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:02:01I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:02:05I'm your mother.
01:02:07I only want what's best for you.
01:02:09What's best for me?
01:02:13You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:02:18That all ends today.
01:02:23You're fired.
01:02:36He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
01:02:39Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
01:02:47That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
01:02:51actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
01:02:55Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
01:02:59We'll never tell.
01:03:03Oh my God, thanks for saving me.
01:03:06She was practically eye-fucking you.
01:03:08I know.
01:03:09Jeez.
01:03:09This is so surreal.
01:03:10I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
01:03:13I can.
01:03:14The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
01:03:19Daniel, enjoy this.
01:03:22And get used to compliments.
01:03:25It's already our scope of us.
01:03:27Fuck.
01:03:27Finish me.
01:03:28I feel like I'm dreaming.
01:03:30You okay?
01:03:34You always do that when you're nervous.
01:03:36I know, it's, um, old habit.
01:03:39Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
01:03:44Some of us just got a head start.
01:03:45I know, our press is good press.
01:04:11You'll have to forgive me, Miss Jolie.
01:04:13I, um, kind of live in shock right now.
01:04:16In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
01:04:21I mean, you know this.
01:04:22You're a legend.
01:04:24I appreciate it, Daniel.
01:04:25All right, let me cut to the chase.
01:04:27You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
01:04:30I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
01:04:32I got projects.
01:04:32Come on.
01:04:33You're built for billion dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters,
01:04:37the one that gets made in LA, not London.
01:04:39That's where you belong.
01:04:40To be honest, I already did all I.
01:04:44It didn't really end well.
01:04:46Let me guess.
01:04:47My girl?
01:04:48If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
01:04:53You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
01:04:56You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
01:05:00You're giving me a lot to think about.
01:05:01Three picture deal.
01:05:03200 million dollar budget each.
01:05:04Creative control and final cut approval.
01:05:06I don't know what to say.
01:05:08Just say yes.
01:05:09You have my number.
01:05:10Just don't keep me waiting.
01:05:13Just remember, Daniel.
01:05:14You can't run away from the past.
01:05:16You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:05:18Hey, it's been a while.
01:05:32Can we talk?
01:05:34Tired.
01:05:35No.
01:05:38No.
01:05:39You can't do this to me.
01:05:46Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:48I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:50You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:55I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:57You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:06:00There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:06:03I made you, you'd be nothing without me.
01:06:09I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:17We're done here, Mom.
01:06:20If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:27Without another word.
01:06:33I have something to say.
01:06:43I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:45I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:49I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:53I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:07:00I apologize to your father.
01:07:05Do I have to?
01:07:06Who raised you?
01:07:09Cared for you?
01:07:12Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:15Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:19He did.
01:07:21He loved you.
01:07:22But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:24I was wrong.
01:07:25Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:31And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:35I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:39It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:41I love you.
01:07:43Okay.
01:07:44Come on, Jackson.
01:07:45Let's go.
01:07:46Let's go.
01:07:46I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:55For everything.
01:08:01Waiting for us to become something real.
01:08:03I'm sorry, Halloween.
01:08:06It just cost me and we'll call it even.
01:08:09You were amazing, as always.
01:08:11It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:08:18I never was, was I?
01:08:21Anyways, got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:08:25Maybe I'll see you around.
01:08:27Yeah.
01:08:27Give me coffee and you know what?
01:08:41Go get one for yourself, too.
01:08:44And be generous with the sugar.
01:08:52Oh my God.
01:08:53What am I going to do?
01:08:54That was quick.
01:09:11What are you doing here?
01:09:14I came to audition.
01:09:18Did you bring any representation?
01:09:20No.
01:09:21I fired my manager, remember?
01:09:24I'm starting fresh.
01:09:27Right, um...
01:09:30Hi.
01:09:32I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:09:36Don't let me go!
01:09:38I got you.
01:09:39I'll never let you go.
01:09:42Are you okay?
01:09:44Yeah.
01:09:44It's an old wound that, um...
01:09:46never really healed.
01:09:50I understand.
01:09:51I understand.
01:09:51I understand.
01:09:55Daniel Johnson.
01:09:58Nice to meet you.
01:10:02Please.
01:10:11Whenever you're ready.
01:10:11Bye-bye.
01:10:12Bye-bye.
01:10:30Bye.
01:10:36Bye-bye.
01:11:07I know that look, Daniel.
01:11:27You're thinking of going back to them.
01:11:30I just didn't know it'd be this hard.
01:11:34They hurt you, Daniel.
01:11:37They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:11:44People can change, but that doesn't change the past.
01:11:49And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:12:00Daniel!
01:12:01Daniel!
01:12:02Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
01:12:09Yes.
01:12:10I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:12:16But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:12:19I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:12:25Way to go, Jan!
01:12:30Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:12:52We'll keep it done.
01:12:59How many more do we have today?
01:13:0140, sir.
01:13:02Jesus.
01:13:03Yay, boy!
01:13:04How are we looking?
01:13:05We're still digging.
01:13:06Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:13:09I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:13:14Alright, here's the deal.
01:13:15The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:13:19Today?
01:13:20Are you fucking kidding me?
01:13:21That's why I love you, man.
01:13:22Cool under pressure.
01:13:24This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:13:29Oh, my God.
01:13:30Alright, just bring in the next one.
01:13:32But that would be Emily Blake.
01:13:36Yeah, boy.
