00:32:08And you're never going to be alone again.

00:32:09There we go.

00:32:26Hey!

00:32:27There he is!

00:32:28God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.

00:32:31Man.

00:32:32No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.

00:32:34Life of an A-lister, I guess.

00:32:36I got some.

00:32:40Yeah.

00:32:41What do you need?

00:32:42Oh, oh.

00:32:43Yeah, there you go.

00:32:44I'd offer you some of this shit, but...

00:32:46I doubt you'd like it.

00:32:47Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.

00:32:49Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!

00:32:55Hey, uh...

00:32:56You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?

00:33:01You're not?

00:33:01A grown man that needs a babysitter?

00:33:05Why would I be threatened by that?

00:33:09It's finally time to make this hack disappear.

00:33:13What's wrong, Jackson?

00:33:25Mr. Eastwood!

00:33:26I want to play with the fist, but my stupid dad won't let me!

00:33:30And it's unfair!

00:33:31That's a shame.

00:33:32You know what?

00:33:33Let me grab it for you, little man.

00:33:34Here we go.

00:33:36Ooh!

00:33:37No!

00:33:39Not to play with them!

00:33:40You never let me do anything!

00:33:44Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.

00:33:47You guys can afford an aquarium.

00:33:49It's not about the money.

00:33:51It's about him learning how to respect living things.

00:33:53Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...

00:33:56bad examples.

00:33:58Yeah?

00:33:58What's that supposed to mean?

00:34:01You're so annoying!

00:34:03Don't push!

00:34:05I said don't push.

00:34:11Go get a book or something.

00:34:12Why don't you get your hands off him?

00:34:14He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.

00:34:17God, what the hell's you just saw me?

00:34:19Well, that went even better than I planned.

00:34:32Now we can make a clean break.

00:34:35I wasn't waiting for your permission.

00:34:37There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.

00:34:42Get out of Hollywood.

00:34:43In fact, get out of the country.

00:34:46If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,

00:34:51I will make your life a living hell.

00:35:07Don't worry about it.

00:35:09Just drive.

00:35:16I used to ache for her approval.

00:35:25Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.

00:35:32Boy, it's all assets.

00:35:35Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.

00:35:37The waves all spousal support.

00:35:39No, no, he can't leave me.

00:35:43He can't do this to me.

00:35:44I won't sign off on it.

00:35:56No.

00:35:57All this time, he's going to leave me?

00:36:01What the hell?

00:36:16What happened?

00:36:18Oh my God.

00:36:20Daniel.

00:36:21What the hell happened?

00:36:23Daniel, you're bleeding.

00:36:24Are you okay?

00:36:26Look at her go.

00:36:28Hollywood's finest.

00:36:29Always performing when there's an audience.

00:36:32It's Daniel.

00:36:33He's a monster.

00:36:35He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.

00:36:38Mommy, dad came in here and started shouting at me.

00:36:41No, no, that's not true.

00:36:44If Preston weren't here,

00:36:45Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.

00:36:49Can you imagine the allegations?

00:36:51Daniel, is that true?

00:36:57Sabrina.

00:37:00Oh!

00:37:01Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.

00:37:04I think one of them's broken.

00:37:06Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.

00:37:11But, but Daniel.

00:37:16Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.

00:37:21Are you going to sleep?

00:37:22Sleep down.

00:37:23I know.

00:37:24What's he doing?

00:37:25Oh!

00:37:26I'm going to go call the doctor.

00:37:27Hey!

00:37:30What are you doing?

00:37:31I thought you were hurt.

00:37:33I think I'll pull through.

00:37:41Preston, what are you doing?

00:37:42I don't know what I've always wanted to.

00:37:45Come on.

00:37:46I know you want this.

00:37:47I see the way you look at me.

00:37:49And how that Daniel's gone.

00:37:50We have the house to ourselves.

00:37:52I can finally have you in this bedroom.

00:38:05What am I doing?

00:38:07Daniel is still injured.

00:38:09He should be home.

00:38:12Sabrina?

00:49:37Mom!

00:49:45We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the-

00:49:48Oh, honey. It's over.

00:49:51Daniel's not coming back.

00:49:54You knew?

00:49:55I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.

00:49:58Enough! Just enough!

00:50:02Sabrina?

00:50:03What's gotten into you?

00:50:05Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.

00:50:08Whoa.

00:50:10What's going on here? This room feels really tense.

00:50:13Mom just yelled at me for no reason.

00:50:15I was just making fun of Daniel.

00:50:17I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.

00:50:20And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.

00:50:23It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.

00:50:30Hey, babe.

00:50:31Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?

00:50:35Really?

00:50:36Loser?

00:50:37You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.

00:50:41And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.

00:50:48I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox

00:50:52that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.

00:50:58Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.

00:51:01Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

00:51:08What's going through your head tonight?

00:51:11Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shit.

00:51:15Nobody told me how.

00:51:16Oh, man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.

00:51:19I've heard this talk of a sequel.

00:51:22Yeah.

00:51:23God, my career has been a long time in the making.

00:51:26And I've been very honest about it, actually.

00:51:28I almost gave up the dream.

00:51:30But London...

00:51:32London lit the fire under me.

00:51:34And I feel like I found my voice.

00:51:36And it really is.

00:51:37Full steam ahead.

00:51:38Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director,

00:51:41will you be making your way back to Hollywood?

00:51:46Hollywood.

00:51:48Get out of the country.

00:51:50If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,

00:51:54I will make your life a living hell.

00:52:00Daniel?

00:52:04Security!

00:52:05Come on, just let's talk about this.

00:52:06No!

00:52:08Come on!

00:52:09Celeste!

00:52:10Do something!

00:52:11Sabrina!

00:52:12Come on, Sabrina!

00:52:14Was that really necessary?

00:52:16I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.

00:52:20Is that all you care about?

00:52:22The fame?

00:52:23The headlines?

00:52:24The brand deals?

00:52:25God!

00:52:26You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.

00:52:31Sabrina, you are being dramatic.

00:52:33Of course I care about you.

00:52:36I love you.

00:52:38Then prove it.

00:52:39If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.

00:52:50We're over!

00:52:51No, babe, babe, come on.

00:52:52Please.

00:52:53Please, I love you.

00:52:54Just think about it.

00:52:55Think of the press.

00:52:56What this will look like.

00:52:57If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.

00:53:02Get out.

00:53:03Babe, just-

00:53:04Now!

00:53:05Just give me your hand, come on.

00:53:06No.

00:53:07I'm so alone, Daniel.

00:53:10Nobody sees the real me.

00:53:12I see you, Sabrina.

00:53:14I see all of you.

00:53:16And you're never gonna be alone again.

00:53:19He truly knew me.

00:53:23He loved me.

00:53:24Every flaw.

00:53:26Every fear.

00:53:27Contract or not.

00:53:29He truly loved me.

00:53:32I saved you from social suicide!

00:53:34Saved me?

00:53:36You don't even know how ironic that is.

00:53:39Daniel saved me from the ledge.

00:53:41And he saved me from you.

00:53:44Security!

00:53:45Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?

00:53:49Of course.

00:53:50It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.

00:53:55Is this a personal story?

00:53:57Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?

00:54:00Oh...

00:54:03She knows who she is.

00:54:05I'll leave it at that.

00:54:09You arrogant little shit!

00:54:11I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.

00:54:21It's Celeste Donovan.

00:54:23I need a favor.

00:54:24I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.

00:54:30It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.

00:54:35Mom?

00:54:36What are you doing?

00:54:40Did you just break my TV?

00:54:42Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?

00:54:45You know I'm not supposed to do that.

00:54:47You've been so kind though.

00:54:49It's called, You Drive Me Crazy.

00:54:54He's back.

00:54:56Why didn't you tell me?

00:54:58Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.

00:55:00I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.

00:55:03I need to get on that movie.

00:55:05Absolutely not.

00:55:07You're not working for your ex-husband.

00:55:09If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.

00:55:12Honey, I'm just looking out for you.

00:55:15He still loves me.

00:55:17He has to.

00:55:19I just need to talk to him.

00:55:22Let him go!

00:55:27That's really, really low.

00:55:28Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.

00:55:34Come on, we're America's power couple.

00:55:36To be a power couple, you both have to have power.

00:55:39Face it, Preston.

00:55:41You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.

00:55:44And you're a fucking thief.

00:55:47Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.

00:55:49You've been stealing from me all year long.

00:55:51I could have you arrested, but I haven't.

00:55:54Because you know what?

00:55:55Honestly, I pity you.

00:55:57It's not like that, okay?

00:55:59Look, I was just merging things like couples do.

00:56:02I want to marry you.

00:56:03We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.

00:56:06What's my birthday?

00:56:08Huh?

00:56:09What kind of flowers do I like?

00:56:11What's my favorite color?

00:56:12My favorite song?

00:56:14Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?

00:56:15Oh, oh wait.

00:56:16What's my fucking middle name?

00:56:19You don't give a shit about me.

00:56:22You don't love me.

00:56:23You don't even know me.

00:56:25This isn't a relationship.

00:56:27This is a publicity stunt.

00:56:29And you know what?

00:56:30I'm done.

00:56:31Get out.

00:56:33I don't want to ever see you again.

00:56:35We're over.

00:56:36Mom.

00:56:38Honey, I...

00:56:40You know, I just want what's best for you, right?

00:56:44I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.

00:56:48I love you.

00:56:50I love you too.

00:56:54Here we go.

00:56:56This is, um...

00:56:58It's another movie deal.

00:56:59I'll tell you about it after.

00:57:17Did you get his location?

00:57:19The Oaks.

00:57:208pm.

00:57:22After I'm done with him,

00:57:23Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.

00:57:26He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.

00:57:38She's not protecting me.

00:57:40She's protecting her business.

00:57:42And I'm just a pawn.

00:57:44But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.

00:57:48So nice having you back.

00:57:50And I don't just mean from the UK.

00:57:52Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?

00:57:55Couple.

00:57:57Daniel, it was ten years of you slaving away for those people.

00:58:00If you can even call them that.

00:58:02But you're healthy now.

00:58:03And I'm at the top of my career.

00:58:05I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...

00:58:07I love Sabrina, but...

00:58:09I really thought I could make it work.

00:58:11The marriage, the kids.

00:58:13I mean, we really tried.

00:58:15I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...

00:58:16It's over.

00:58:18It's over.

00:58:19It's over.

00:58:20I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood can offer.

00:58:24Oh.

00:58:33You haven't heard?

00:58:35She dumped him.

00:58:37It was all over People Magazine.

00:58:39She ended it when his star faded.

00:58:40Oh, my God.

00:58:41What?

00:58:42Daniel!

00:58:44Emily.

00:58:45Amazing, as always.

00:58:47You flew in all the way from London for this?

00:58:48Please.

00:58:50I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnstone.

00:58:52How's LA treating you?

00:58:53Oh, my God.

00:58:54Less tea, but way more traffic.

00:58:56But I am...

00:58:58I'm glad to be back.

00:58:59Well, it's no English countryside.

00:59:00Yeah.

00:59:01But it suits you.

00:59:02It suits you.

00:59:03I'm not.

00:59:04I'm not.

00:59:05I'm not.

00:59:06I'm not.

00:59:07I'm not.

00:59:08I'm not.

00:59:09I'm not.

00:59:10I'm not.

00:59:11I'm not.

00:59:12I'm not.

00:59:13I'm not.

00:59:14I'm not.

00:59:15I'm not.

00:59:16I'm not.

00:59:17I'm not.

00:59:18I'm not.

00:59:19I'm not.

00:59:20I'm not.

00:59:21I'm not.

00:59:22You definitely belong here.

00:59:26I do miss you, though.

00:59:28It was fun.

00:59:29Playing the part.

00:59:31British starlet.

00:59:32American director.

00:59:35I kept waiting for us to become something real.

00:59:40Daniel becomes an award-winning director,

00:59:42and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?

00:59:47You can't do this to me!

00:59:49Sabrina.

00:59:50You don't need him!

00:59:51Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.

00:59:53How could he move on to that uptight British bitch?

00:59:56Move on?

00:59:58Please, honey.

00:59:59He is using her.

01:00:01Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hm?

01:00:04He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.

01:00:06How could you say that?

01:00:08I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.

01:00:12He's proving that to the whole world!

01:00:15Don't you see it?

01:00:16Sabrina.

01:00:18Look at what you've got.

01:00:20A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.

01:00:25Well, when he's not whining.

01:00:27And don't forget about Preston.

01:00:28Preston.

01:00:29Your dream man.

01:00:30You have everything.

01:00:32I don't.

01:00:33Have.

01:00:34Him.

01:00:35Mom, I'm hungry.

01:00:36Go have the chef make something.

01:00:38No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.

01:00:41Why can't you just hire Daniel back?

01:00:43Don't talk about him like that.

01:00:45He's your dad.

01:00:46No!

01:00:47Preston is my real dad now.

01:00:49Daniel's just a guy who made me s**t snacks and cleaned the toilet.

01:00:52It was fun telling him what to do.

01:00:55When did he get so cruel?

01:00:57You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.

01:01:00A doormat.

01:01:02Daniel's a doormat.

01:01:04Daniel's a doormat.

01:01:05Daniel's a doormat.

01:01:06Enough!

01:01:07You little s**t!

01:01:11Stop.

01:01:13Sabrina, what are you doing here?

01:01:20I'm here to help you.

01:01:22Sabrina, you're making a scene.

01:01:25Let's go home.

01:01:26Sabrina?

01:01:27How could you?

01:01:28What?

01:01:29I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.

01:01:33I begged and pleaded.

01:01:34Stop lying!

01:01:36I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink!

01:01:40And I'll bet you called the paparazzi too to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him!

01:01:45My God!

01:01:47You're disgusting!

01:01:48I'm a manager, Daniel.

01:01:49Not anymore!

01:01:51Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?

01:01:56I don't even know who you are anymore!

01:01:58I'm your mother!

01:02:00I only want what's best for you!

01:02:03What's best for me?

01:02:05You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it!

01:02:11That all ends today.

01:02:17You're fired!

01:02:30He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.

01:02:34Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.

01:02:41That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

01:02:49Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.

01:02:53We'll never tell.

01:02:55Oh my God, thanks for saving me, Emily.

01:03:00She was practically I fucking you.

01:03:02I know.

01:03:03Jeez.

01:03:04This is so surreal.

01:03:05I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.

01:03:07I can.

01:03:09The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.

01:03:13Daniel.

01:03:15Enjoy this.

01:03:17And get used to compliments.

01:03:19There's already Oscar buzz.

01:03:21Fuck.

01:03:22Finish me, I know.

01:03:23I feel like I'm dreaming.

01:03:25You okay?

01:03:28You always do that when you're nervous.

01:03:30Yeah, I know.

01:03:31It's, um...

01:03:32I'll have it.

01:03:33Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.

01:03:37Some of us just got a head start.

01:03:40I know.

01:03:41I know.

01:03:42That price is good price.

01:03:43I know.

01:03:44That price is good price.

01:03:45I know.

01:03:46I know.

01:03:47I know.

01:03:48I know.

01:03:49That price is good price.

01:03:51I know.

01:03:52That price is good price.

01:03:53I know.

01:03:54I know.

01:03:55I know.

01:03:56I know.

01:04:08I know.

01:04:09I know.

01:04:10I know.

01:04:11But you're all in shock right now.

01:04:12In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.

01:04:16I mean, you know this.

01:04:17You're a legend.

01:04:18I appreciate it, Daniel.

01:04:20Alright, let me cut to the chase.

01:04:21You're a powerhouse sitting idle in the wrong country.

01:04:24I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.

01:04:27I got projects.

01:04:28Come on!

01:04:29You're built for billion dollar franchises.

01:04:31Hollywood block busters.

01:04:32The one that gets made in LA, not London.

01:04:35That's where you belong.

01:04:36To be honest, I already did all I.

01:11:20I know that look, Daniel.

01:11:22You're thinking of going back to them.

01:11:27I just didn't know it'd be this hard.

01:11:29They hurt you, Daniel.

01:11:32They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.

01:11:39People can change.

01:11:42But that doesn't change the past.

01:11:44And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.

01:11:55Daniel! Daniel! Daniel!

01:11:57Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?

01:12:04Yes. I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.

01:12:11But, okay, I'll tell you this.

01:12:12Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.

01:12:24Way to go, John!

01:12:42Thank you so much for considering me for this part.

01:12:46Thank you. We'll keep in touch.

01:12:47How many more do we have today?

01:12:5640, sir.

01:12:57Jesus.

01:12:58Hey, boy!

01:12:59How are we looking?

01:13:00We're still digging.

01:13:01Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.

01:13:04I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.

01:13:09Alright, here's the deal.

01:13:10The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.

01:13:13Today?

01:13:15Are you fucking kidding me?

01:13:16That's why I love you, man.

01:13:17Cool under pressure.

01:13:19This movie is gonna blow the roof off.

01:13:24Oh, my God.

01:13:25Alright, just bring in the next one.

01:13:26Okay, that would be Emily Blake.

01:13:33Emily.
