Short filmTranscript
00:00:00He does girly stuff like cook and clean, but Preston is awesome. He's an action spy. I wish he was my dad.
00:00:11My own son doesn't respect me, but we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:00:21It's okay, buddy. Every spy needs a partner in crime. If you want me around, I'm in.
00:00:26That is if mom's school is in.
00:00:28Oh, Preston, I don't know. Daniel, he, you know, he's... Preston, what are you doing?
00:00:37Come on, let's give him a show.
00:00:54Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:00:58I told you this divorce was a mistake. Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:01:08Daniel!
00:01:09You know, it's probably for the best. From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:01:17Daniel, he's here? Did he see us? Is he looking over here?
00:01:20Oh, fuck, that's not good. I was just doing that for publicity. I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:01:25Actually, it was perfect timing. Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:01:30Who cares about him, mommy? Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:01:34Jackson, enough!
00:01:35What do I do? Well, that's it then. Now I need to handle Sabrina. I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:01:46I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you. You're really good at that.
00:01:50Oh, I have a parting gift for you. A one-way ticket. So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:02:00I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans, I will come after you with everything I got.
00:02:09Daniel loves me. He has to understand. This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:02:15Daniel, I can explain.
00:02:23Daniel, what is this?
00:02:30Daniel, look what you made me do.
00:02:32Daniel, just leave it.
00:02:35Daniel, I just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:02:39Daniel, and what? It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:02:43Daniel, I'm just trying to do something nice. And look what I get for it. You know what? Forget it. I have a mirror. We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:02:53What? Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:03:10Yeah. Ex-mother-in-law.
00:03:12Not quite. That was the divorce contract. But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:03:19This is showbiz, baby. Remember that. I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:03:25I want a divorce.
00:03:31Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:03:34Huh?
00:03:36I want a di-
00:03:39I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:42I didn't know it!
00:03:43Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay? Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:03:55Seriously? Your only job is to take care of the house and the family. I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:01What is this? Another contract? How big is the role? Who's directing?
00:04:09It's not a-
00:04:10Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:12Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:04:15Honestly, I am really at my capacity. I have that red carpet event coming up and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:04:23Pull my weight?
00:04:24Yeah, you get it.
00:04:29Love you.
00:04:30I've devoted myself to this family for 10 long years. If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:04:37Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:04:41Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:04:44He's not your kid.
00:04:46I wish I was! I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever! I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:04:52Ouch! I mean, you just heard your son. So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:04:58Maybe it will be. But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:05:02You? Man of the house? Please. You're a pussy in an apron. I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:05:11And you're a washed up pack! Still riding on all your old headlines. How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:05:17I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:05:19I'm a fucking star!
00:05:22A star? A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:05:26Jackson, come on. I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:05:29No, I'm not going! Preston's way cooler than you! Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:05:35You did lose a lot of blood. So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to bump you into the liquid.
00:05:37You did lose a lot of blood. So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to bump you into the liquid.
00:05:41To be honest, that's... I could use a break from home.
00:05:55Trouble with the missus?
00:05:56Uh, yeah. Pretty obvious.
00:05:57Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:05:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here. With Preston Eastwood.
00:05:59True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:06:03I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:06:29I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:06:33You said, um, a couple?
00:06:35I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official.
00:06:40She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:06:44She was so sweet.
00:06:50Need a mess to check on that shoulder for you?
00:06:53No, it's...
00:06:54It's an old wound.
00:06:57I tore it, actually.
00:06:58Probably, um, ten years ago.
00:07:01Daniel!
00:07:02Sweet and caring.
00:07:05So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:07:08He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:07:11And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:07:18Fuck.
00:07:20I'm gonna go get my shit and go.
00:07:22I can't let her create a public scene.
00:07:24All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:07:27Are you going somewhere?
00:07:30Honey!
00:07:31Oh, what a coincidence.
00:07:32We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:07:36Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:07:37A vacation?
00:07:38Finally.
00:07:39You're paying attention.
00:07:41Yeah.
00:07:41I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:07:44Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:07:46What are we supposed to do without you?
00:07:48Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:07:50That's not what I meant.
00:07:51Whoa.
00:07:51Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:07:54That's fine.
00:07:55Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:07:58Just like any good husband would.
00:07:59Oh, I see.
00:08:01Is it me?
00:08:03Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:08:05I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:08:07I always knew you were the self-loving type.
00:08:09You know what?
00:08:10Maybe I should go.
00:08:11I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:08:13No, please stay.
00:08:14I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:08:17No, you know what?
00:08:19I'll go.
00:08:21And clearly she wants you.
00:08:22I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:08:23Daniel, wait.
00:08:24I won't ever let you go.
00:08:28He won't leave.
00:08:29He promised.
00:08:30It doesn't have to be like this.
00:08:33We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:08:35I'm going to go back.
00:08:40Daniel!
00:08:47The movie's greenlit and the studio wants you to direct.
00:08:50We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:08:52I can't.
00:08:52My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:08:55After all I've sacrificed.
00:08:57My scripts.
00:08:58My career.
00:08:59My future.
00:09:01All pushed aside.
00:09:03At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:09:06I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:09:10Hey, Mom.
00:09:10How you doing?
00:09:11Oh, good, dear.
00:09:13I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:09:17Do you need more?
00:09:18No, no, no, no.
00:09:19You've already done so much.
00:09:21I'm just trying to help.
00:09:22I know.
00:09:24But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:09:27I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:09:35I am, Mom.
00:09:36And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:09:45That's wonderful, dear.
00:09:46You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:09:49Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:09:51I gotta go.
00:09:52Love you.
00:09:56What is it, Mom?
00:09:57Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:09:59Our favorite leading man.
00:10:01Come on.
00:10:08Preston Eastwood.
00:10:10The man that broke my wife's heart.
00:10:12And is stealing it back again.
00:10:15You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:10:24What was that?
00:10:28What's going on?
00:10:29Daniel, what is happening?
00:10:34It was Dad, Mom.
00:10:35Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:10:38What?
00:10:38I'm so scared.
00:10:39You got me pretty good, babe.
00:10:40What the hell, Daniel?
00:10:42I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:10:44I came in looking for a fight.
00:10:45What?
00:10:46I didn't.
00:10:46Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:10:48You're acting like a jealous child.
00:10:51I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:10:53He threw a fish tank at me.
00:10:54It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:10:56Grow up.
00:10:57Remember we're in the public eye?
00:10:59What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:11:01What?
00:11:02Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:11:05Maybe I should go.
00:11:07I'm sorry.
00:11:08No.
00:11:08Oh, my God.
00:11:10He's lying.
00:11:12You're a monster.
00:11:14And in front of your son?
00:11:16You have to be kidding.
00:11:17We have to get you to the hospital.
00:11:19Yeah.
00:11:21We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:11:23Come on.
00:11:24Clean this up.
00:11:27Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:11:32She's mine now, loser.
00:11:42Hello, 911.
00:11:44What's your emergency?
00:11:45I'm waiting now.
00:11:46I think I had an hour.
00:11:47Sorry?
00:11:48I need an ambulance now.
00:11:50Now.
00:11:57Good to see you.
00:11:58Oh, my gosh.
00:11:59How long has it been?
00:12:00Oh, too long.
00:12:01Look at you.
00:12:03Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:12:06Yeah, of course, babe.
00:12:07Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:12:09Are you kidding?
00:12:09Oh, Daniel.
00:12:10Oh, Daniel.
00:12:10Uh, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:12:14Oh, there he is.
00:12:15The assistant.
00:12:16I'll tell you what.
00:12:17There's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:12:20How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:12:25Stop.
00:12:25I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:12:33Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:12:36Daniel.
00:12:37Oh.
00:12:37Don't embarrass me.
00:12:38No, it's fine.
00:12:39Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:12:44He's not just tough.
00:12:45He's Brett Steele tough.
00:12:47You think, you know?
00:12:48My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:12:51He doesn't let me do anything.
00:12:52Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:12:56What are you saying, huh?
00:12:57Yeah.
00:12:58Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:13:02That's fine.
00:13:03That's fine.
00:13:05Just relax, okay?
00:13:07Be nice.
00:13:09Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:13:22when he breaks her heart again.
00:13:24And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:13:32That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:13:35Who knew the house hubby had it in him?
00:13:37I'm an industry joke now.
00:13:38Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing
00:13:43sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:13:45Wow, you did your homework.
00:13:46Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:13:51I will tell you this.
00:13:53I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:13:58Daniel really did a bit.
00:14:00The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:14:03You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?
00:14:07You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:14:10Our contract expired.
00:14:12I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:14:14If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:14:18The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:14:21I'll always love my son.
00:14:25But he's a bully and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:14:30You used to worship Sabrina.
00:14:31What happened?
00:14:32That was a long time ago.
00:14:34America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:14:38All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:14:41But her career is hanging by a thread.
00:14:44I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:14:47You've always loved her, Daniel.
00:14:49I've seen it.
00:14:51She needs that now.
00:14:53Stay.
00:14:54Marry her.
00:14:56Love her.
00:14:58So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:15:00I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:15:03And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:15:06If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:15:13This was the last one.
00:15:17Mom, Daniel.
00:15:20What's going on?
00:15:23Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:15:26I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:15:30After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:15:36Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:15:54She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:15:59Sabrina Donovan?
00:16:00I could scream.
00:16:01I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:16:03Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:16:07OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:16:11A scene that I wrote.
00:16:12Uncredited, of course.
00:16:13Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:16:16Wait, are you two dating?
00:16:18Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:16:21All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:16:25Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:16:32You're not really a part of my brand.
00:16:34Your brand?
00:16:35It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:16:37You get it, right?
00:16:47So, you two are a thing?
00:16:49Well, I...
00:16:50It's okay, babe.
00:16:51We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:16:53Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:17:05No, it's not like that.
00:17:08I...
00:17:09What?
00:17:11You know what?
00:17:11Fine.
00:17:14You two look great together.
00:17:16Daniel, I...
00:17:23And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:17:36Um...
00:17:37I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:17:45Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:17:47I was never the homemaker.
00:17:55Please, Daniel.
00:17:56Daniel.
00:18:06I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:18:12If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:18:18I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:18:33Look at her now.
00:18:35Playing house for another man.
00:18:36If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:18:48Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:18:50You once liked my short film.
00:18:52I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:18:53It needs the right producer.
00:19:04I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:19:09Where have you been?
00:19:10I kept calling.
00:19:11I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:19:15Huh?
00:19:19What?
00:19:20I've been busy.
00:19:21Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:19:22Seriously?
00:19:25Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:19:27I told you, he's just a friend.
00:19:31Yeah.
00:19:32That's what you want to call it?
00:19:34I...
00:19:35I just...
00:19:36I'm sorry.
00:19:38I...
00:19:39Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:19:46It is what it is.
00:19:47But I mean...
00:19:49You know how the industry works.
00:19:52You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:19:57And I think you should go for it.
00:19:58I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:20:01But...
00:20:02I just...
00:20:02I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:20:08Seriously.
00:20:09I...
00:20:10I care about you.
00:20:15I'm not mad.
00:20:18I've known you for 14 years.
00:20:20I know when you're angry.
00:20:21Really?
00:20:22I didn't think you paid attention.
00:20:24I pay attention?
00:20:26Since when do I not pay attention?
00:20:29She signed the papers without reading them.
00:20:32That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:20:34A headline.
00:20:34A performance.
00:20:38Sabrina.
00:20:42Yeah.
00:20:42It's nice.
00:20:43But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:20:54Oh, careful.
00:20:56You alright?
00:20:58I'm still starving.
00:21:00Make me some food.
00:21:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:21:05Stew?
00:21:06Ew.
00:21:07What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:21:08I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:21:11If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:21:15I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:21:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:21:21Oh, babe.
00:21:23For real?
00:21:24Yeah.
00:21:25My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:21:28Donovan Cosmetics.
00:21:29I'm rich.
00:21:30Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:21:36I mean, that's just something poor people will tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:21:40See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:21:41You're so caught up on the morals.
00:21:43You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:21:45They were so dull.
00:21:46Please, Mr. Eastwood.
00:21:48My dad won't let me have anything!
00:21:50Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:21:54So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:21:58My treat.
00:22:00Here we go.
00:22:00What?
00:22:01Yeah.
00:22:02Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:22:03I don't mind.
00:22:04All of you insist.
00:22:06I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:22:07Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:22:16Anyways.
00:22:17Come on, Ben.
00:22:17Let's go.
00:22:19Looks great.
00:22:20Gotcha.
00:22:20There we go.
00:22:21Oh, there's Paps.
00:22:25You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:22:27Last time.
00:22:29I promise.
00:22:31You're right.
00:22:33It is the last time.
00:22:35Hey, guys.
00:22:38Hi.
00:22:39Jackson.
00:22:46Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:22:50Contract's fine.
00:22:51It's over.
00:22:54Sabrina, I'm good.
00:22:55You know what?
00:22:56I hate fighting, so let's just forget about this, okay?
00:23:01I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:23:08I gave that to you three years ago.
00:23:10You're telling me you finally read it?
00:23:12Well, yeah.
00:23:13The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:23:17The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:23:20I mean, we have to do this, me and you, the lead actress and the writer-director.
00:23:25I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:23:29A long time ago.
00:23:32Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves
00:23:38into the script.
00:23:39Just like we used to in film school.
00:23:41There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:23:45I would have melted in her hands.
00:23:48Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:23:51I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it
00:24:11was awful.
00:24:13Well, if I had a lot of experience making it for you, I'll be sure to tell him how you
00:24:17like it.
00:24:18That's not what I meant.
00:24:20I like it when you make it.
00:24:24I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:24:28I knew it.
00:24:30You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:24:32I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:24:35God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:24:41Married people are fucking boring.
00:24:45It's good to know where you stand.
00:24:47No, Daniel.
00:24:48No, that's not what I meant.
00:24:52Things are better than here.
00:24:55Yeah.
00:24:56Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:24:58Oh, good.
00:25:01You're up.
00:25:01Um, after dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:25:07It's fun.
00:25:09Why don't look at me like that?
00:25:11I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:25:14Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:25:18How lucky for him.
00:25:20He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:25:23Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:25:26Listen, man, I've had every opportunity to sleep with her, and nothing happened.
00:25:33You can trust me.
00:25:35Preston, I think you're not eating the right now.
00:25:39All right.
00:25:43Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:25:44I, I, when you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:25:51I, I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:25:54Just ignore him.
00:25:55He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:25:57No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:26:00Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:26:03Jealous?
00:26:05My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:26:08Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:26:09You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:26:20That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:26:25Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:26:32God, God, you're unbelievable.
00:26:35What's going on?
00:26:40Honey!
00:26:42I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:26:46If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.
00:26:49But I need to go.
00:26:50I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:26:54Think about it, Daniel.
00:26:55Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:27:06Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:27:08Ugh, can it wait?
00:27:09I'm seriously so spent.
00:27:12I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:27:16I saw it.
00:27:17Preston was there.
00:27:19I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:27:22I mean, we owe him.
00:27:23Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:27:28I'm starving.
00:27:29When are we eating?
00:27:30Lunch is on the stove.
00:27:32But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:27:35No!
00:27:36I want to eat now!
00:27:43Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:27:50He doesn't listen.
00:27:51Daniel, please.
00:27:53I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:27:59I got something I need to tell you.
00:28:02I'll make it quick.
00:28:03This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:28:05Ew, what is this?
00:28:07It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:28:09I don't want healthy food.
00:28:10I want chicken nuggets.
00:28:11Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:28:13You can't have that every day.
00:28:15It's not healthy for you.
00:28:17But I want them.
00:28:19Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:28:22You suck!
00:28:23I want chicken nuggets!
00:28:25Give me chicken nuggets!
00:28:26I waited.
00:28:35I gave it everything I had.
00:28:38But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:28:41And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:28:46Enough.
00:28:47Just enough.
00:28:49I want a divorce.
00:29:05Mommy, please.
00:29:07We can't leave him.
00:29:08I...
00:29:09I have...
00:29:10I have to help Preston.
00:29:12Come on, Jackson.
00:29:33Daniel!
00:29:34I got you.
00:29:36Don't let me go!
00:29:38She's made her choice.
00:29:40There's no going back.
00:29:41We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:29:48Preston Eastwood.
00:29:49The man that broke my wife's heart.
00:29:57All right, cut!
00:29:59That's a wrap, everyone.
00:30:00Thank you!
00:30:01We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:30:05Sabrina was a rising star.
00:30:08I was just the director's assistant.
00:30:11Our future's ahead of us.
00:30:15If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden castle.
00:30:19I was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who was just the one who
00:30:49You destroyed me, Preston.
00:30:53There's nothing left.
00:31:08Sabrina, don't!
00:31:10Stay back. I mean it.
00:31:13Sabrina, don't do this.
00:31:17Just...
00:31:20Just give me your hand.
00:31:33No!
00:31:35Daniel!
00:31:37I got you.
00:31:38No! Don't let me go!
00:31:41I won't ever let you go.
00:31:47I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:31:51Nobody sees the real me.
00:31:53I see you, Sabrina.
00:31:55I see all of you.
00:31:57And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:32:00There he is.
00:32:02God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:32:06Man.
00:32:07No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:32:10Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:32:11I got some.
00:32:12Yeah.
00:32:13What do you need?
00:32:14Oh, oh.
00:32:15Yeah, there you go.
00:32:16There you go.
00:32:17There he is.
00:32:18God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:32:21Man.
00:32:22No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:32:25Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:32:27I got some.
00:32:29Yeah.
00:32:30What do you need?
00:32:31Oh, oh.
00:32:32Yeah, there you go.
00:32:33I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:32:35I doubt you'd like it.
00:32:36Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:32:38Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:32:44Hey, uh...
00:32:46You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:32:50You're not?
00:32:51A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:32:53Why would I be threatened by that?
00:32:59It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:33:12What's wrong, Jackson?
00:33:14Mr. Eastwood!
00:33:15I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:33:19And it's unfair!
00:33:20That's a shame, huh?
00:33:22Uh, you know what?
00:33:23Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:33:24Here we go.
00:33:25Ooh!
00:33:26No!
00:33:27Not to play with that!
00:33:31You never let me do anything!
00:33:34Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:33:37You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:33:39It's not about the money.
00:33:40It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:33:43Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:33:47Yeah?
00:33:48What's that supposed to mean?
00:33:50You're so annoying!
00:33:52Don't push.
00:33:54I said don't push.
00:33:56Go get a book or something.
00:33:57Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:33:58He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:34:00God, what the hell?
00:34:01Just show me!
00:34:02Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:34:03Now we can make a clean break.
00:34:04I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:34:05There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:34:07Get out of Hollywood.
00:34:08In fact, get out of the country.
00:34:10If I so much as sad, I know I can do it.
00:34:13I can't do it.
00:34:14I just wanna be so annoying.
00:34:15You're so annoying.
00:34:16I'm so sorry.
00:34:17I'm so sorry.
00:34:18Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:34:22Now we can make a clean break.
00:34:25I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:34:27There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:34:31Get out of Hollywood.
00:34:33In fact, get out of the country.
00:34:36If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:34:57Don't worry about it. Just drive.
00:35:06I used to ache for her approval. Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:35:22Boy, it's all assets.
00:35:25Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson. The waves are all spousal support.
00:35:30No, no, he can't leave me. He can't do this to me.
00:35:34I won't sign off on it.
00:35:45No!
00:35:48All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:36:04What the hell? What happened? Oh my God! Daniel! What the hell happened? Daniel, you're bleeding. Are you okay?
00:36:15Look at her go. Hollywood's finest. Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:22It's Daniel. He's a monster. He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:27Mommy! Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:32No. No, that's not true.
00:36:34If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters. Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:42Daniel, is that true?
00:36:45Sabrina.
00:36:49Oh!
00:36:51Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs. I think one of them is broken.
00:36:56Sabrina? Honey? We need to help Preston.
00:36:59But, but Daniel! Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:10Seriously?
00:37:12Stay down.
00:37:14What's he doing?
00:37:16I'm gonna go call the doctor, okay?
00:37:20What are you doing? I thought you were hurt.
00:37:23I think I'll pull through.
00:37:24Listen, what are you doing?
00:37:25What I've always wanted to. Come on. I know you want this. I see the way you look at me.
00:37:39And now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:37:43I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:37:55What am I doing?
00:37:57Daniel is still injured.
00:37:59He should be home.
00:38:03Sabrina?
00:38:12I'm hungry!
00:38:14Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:38:18Jackson?
00:38:21I have something to tell you.
00:38:24Your dad.
00:38:28Your dad.
00:38:30He's left us.
00:38:32I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:38:34Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:38:37Why would you say that?
00:38:39He was so embarrassing! Even Mr. Eastwood-
00:38:42Mr. Eastwood?
00:38:44What did Preston say?
00:38:46He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets, then raising a young man.
00:38:51Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood.
00:38:55How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:38:59If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:39:01I wish Preston was my dad! You're a pathetic loser!
00:39:05Zip it, Jackson!
00:39:06You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:39:12I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:39:14That's not what I see.
00:39:15You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:39:23Hmm. That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:39:27Doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.
00:39:30And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:39:33This was all a stunt, was it?
00:39:36You were revolting.
00:39:38No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:39:41Hey.
00:39:43Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:39:45Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:39:48Yeah. Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:39:51Oh, yeah? What lesson's that, Preston?
00:39:53You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:39:56Hmm.
00:40:21What are you talking about?
00:40:22Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:40:27When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:40:33Is there something you're not telling me?
00:40:36Please. I just want the truth.
00:40:38Mom.
00:40:40Fine.
00:40:42I will tell you the truth.
00:40:44But promise me you won't get mad.
00:40:48I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:40:50But no, it was all for your own good.
00:40:57He was so lame and boring.
00:40:59Now he's gone.
00:41:01Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:41:03He can be my new dad.
00:41:05Jackson, you have a dad.
00:41:08And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:41:10Yeah, but I hate him.
00:41:11I hate him!
00:41:18Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:41:21Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:41:25I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:41:27Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:41:32No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:41:41Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again. Okay?
00:41:46He's not the man you think he is.
00:41:48Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:41:51And we need to find him at all costs.
00:42:02Preston, get off.
00:42:05What? Babe, we can finally...
00:42:08I said get off.
00:42:10What?
00:42:11I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:42:12No, forget about him.
00:42:14Look, I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:42:18I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:42:22I mean, come on. Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:42:26Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:42:28What?
00:42:30Look, he's already moved on.
00:42:33No.
00:42:35No.
00:42:37What have I done?
00:42:39Where is he?
00:42:40What about me?
00:42:42You had your chance ten years ago.
00:42:44I need to go take care of my husband.
00:42:48I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:43:06Oh, please. She's always been so secretive.
00:43:09I mean, this is her movie premiere and where is her husband?
00:43:11Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:43:14I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:43:20Oh, oh. If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:43:24Come here. Oh.
00:43:28Jackson! We were just talking about your mom.
00:43:32Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?
00:43:36She's with Mr. Eastwood. He's been staying with us.
00:43:38Oh, really?
00:43:41Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:43:44Oh, I hope so. I really hope so.
00:43:46He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:43:50Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:43:54Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:43:56What are you doing here? You never come to these things.
00:44:02Well, that's gotta be the husband.
00:44:06Get lost! You embarrass us!
00:44:08Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.
00:44:10I wish you never were my dad.
00:44:14Is there a problem?
00:44:16What kind of coward abandons his family? Huh? It's despicable.
00:44:31I can't do this anymore. I cancel everything. The interviews and the red carpets. I don't want to be seen. I can't pretend. I just want him back.
00:44:43Honey, it's time to let him go. You don't love him anyway. Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:44:54What?
00:44:56How could you say something like that? Of course I love Daniel. He cares for me. He sees me. He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:45:09But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:45:13Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.
00:45:17Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:45:24Contract? What contract?
00:45:27When Preston left you, you were distraught. I had to save you.
00:45:34She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:45:37You've always been there for her. From film school to now. I've seen it.
00:45:43She needs you. Stay. Marry her. Love her.
00:45:47So that she's never alone again.
00:45:56It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:45:59How could you do this to me?
00:46:02I wanted to protect you.
00:46:04You wanted to control me.
00:46:06All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:46:08Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:46:11You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop. Daniel did what he was meant to do. He kept you together.
00:46:23Where? Where did he go? I know he told you where he went. Where is he?
00:46:28You can do better than him. You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet. Believe me, it's for the best.
00:46:37No. He can't be gone. He can't.
00:46:40Yes. He is gone and he is gone forever.
00:46:44He can't be. He can't be gone. He can't.
00:46:58Hello? Excuse me. Excuse me. Hi. Have you seen my husband? Please, he was the one bleeding out.
00:47:17I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman. He didn't come back in though.
00:47:22Oh, no. Daniel, where are you?
00:47:29I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service. Please try again later.
00:47:35What have I done?
00:47:47Come on, Daniel. Answer me.
00:47:52He's not gone. I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:48:08He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:48:12No.
00:48:15It's not possible. He will be back.
00:48:18No.
00:48:19It can't be.
00:48:20It's not us.
00:48:21Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:48:23He loves me. He loves Jackson. He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family. After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:48:24No.
00:48:25No.
00:48:26No.
00:48:27No.
00:48:28No.
00:48:29No.
00:48:30No.
00:48:31No.
00:48:32No.
00:48:33No.
00:48:34No.
00:48:35No.
00:48:36No.
00:48:37No.
00:48:38No.
00:48:39No.
00:48:40No.
00:48:41No.
00:48:42No.
00:48:43No.
00:48:44No.
00:48:45No.
00:48:46No.
00:48:47No.
00:48:48No.
00:48:49No.
00:48:50No.
00:48:51No.
00:48:52No.
00:48:53No.
00:48:54No.
00:48:55No.
00:48:56No.
00:48:57No.
00:48:58No.
00:48:59No.
00:49:00No.
00:49:01No.
00:49:02No.
00:49:03I got you.
00:49:12Don't let me go!
00:49:14Was I ever really paying attention?
00:49:20Daniel?
00:49:22No, it's Mom. Is everything okay?
00:49:24You sound panicked.
00:49:25Mom!
00:49:27Mom!
00:49:29Daniel!
00:49:30He just left us!
00:49:33Do you know where he is?
00:49:36We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:49:39Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:49:45You knew?
00:49:46I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:49:50Enough! Just enough!
00:49:52Sabrina? What's gotten into you?
00:49:56Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:49:59Whoa. What's going on here?
00:50:02This room feels really tense.
00:50:03Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:50:06I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:50:07No!
00:50:08I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:50:11And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:50:14It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:50:17Hey, baby.
00:50:22Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what? Making fun of that fucking loser? Really?
00:50:27Loser?
00:50:28Yeah.
00:50:28You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:50:32And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:50:36I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:49Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:52Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. What's going through your head tonight?
00:51:02Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shit. Nobody told me how. Oh, man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:09I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:12Uh, yeah. Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making. And I've been very honest about it, actually. I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:21But London? London lit the fire under me. And I feel like I found my voice. And it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:29Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:37Hollywood.
00:51:37Get out of the country.
00:51:41If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:50Daniel?
00:51:54Security!
00:51:55Come on, just talk about this. No.
00:51:58Come on. Celeste, do something.
00:52:01Sabrina!
00:52:02More! Sabrina!
00:52:04Was that really necessary?
00:52:06I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:52:10Is that all you care about? The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:52:16God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:52:22Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:52:25Of course I care about you.
00:52:27I love you.
00:52:28I love you.
00:52:29Then prove it.
00:52:30If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:52:40We're over!
00:52:41What? No, babe, babe, come on.
00:52:43Please.
00:52:43Please, I love you.
00:52:44Just think about it.
00:52:46Look at the press.
00:52:47What this will look like.
00:52:48If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:52:53Get out.
00:52:54Hey, just...
00:52:54Now!
00:52:55Just give me your hand. Come on.
00:52:56No.
00:52:57I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:53:01Nobody sees the real me.
00:53:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:53:04I see all of you.
00:53:07And you're never going to be alone again.
00:53:08He truly knew me.
00:53:13He loved me.
00:53:15Every flaw.
00:53:17Every fear.
00:53:19Contract or not.
00:53:20He truly loved me.
00:53:23I saved you from social suicide!
00:53:25Saved me?
00:53:26You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:53:29Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:53:31And he saved me from you.
00:53:35Security!
00:53:35Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:53:40Of course.
00:53:41It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:53:46Is this a personal story?
00:53:48Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:53:51Oh...
00:53:51She knows who she is.
00:53:56I'll leave it at that.
00:54:00You arrogant little shit!
00:54:02I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:54:12It's Celeste Donovan.
00:54:13I need a favor.
00:54:15I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:54:21It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:54:24Mom, what are you doing?
00:54:30Did you just break my TV?
00:54:32Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:54:36You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:54:38You've been so kind though.
00:54:39It's called You Drive Me Crazy.
00:54:44He's back.
00:54:46Why didn't you tell me?
00:54:48Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:54:51I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:54:54I need to get on that movie.
00:54:56Absolutely not.
00:54:57You're not working for your ex-husband.
00:54:59If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
00:55:02Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
00:55:05He still loves me.
00:55:08He has to.
00:55:10I just need to talk to him.
00:55:12Let him go.
00:55:14That's really, really low.
00:55:19Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:55:25Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:55:27To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:55:30Face it, Preston.
00:55:32You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:55:35And you're a fucking thief.
00:55:38Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:55:39You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:55:42I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:55:45Because you know what?
00:55:46Honestly, I pity you.
00:55:48It's not like that.
00:55:49Okay?
00:55:50Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:52I want to marry you.
00:55:54We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:57What's my birthday?
00:55:58Huh?
00:55:59What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:01What's my favorite color?
00:56:02My favorite song?
00:56:03Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:06Oh, oh wait.
00:56:07What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:09You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:12You don't love me.
00:56:13You don't even know me.
00:56:15This isn't a relationship.
00:56:17This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:20And you know what?
00:56:21I'm done.
00:56:22Get out.
00:56:23I don't want to ever see you again.
00:56:25We're over.
00:56:27Mom.
00:56:29Honey, I...
00:56:31You know, I just want what's best for you, right?
00:56:34I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
00:56:38I love you.
00:56:41I love you too.
00:56:44There you go.
00:56:47This is, um...
00:56:48It's another movie deal.
00:56:50I'll tell you about it after.
00:56:51Okay.
00:56:52Okay.
00:56:52Okay.
00:56:53Okay.
00:56:53Okay.
00:56:53Okay.
00:56:54Okay.
00:56:54Okay.
00:56:54Okay.
00:56:54Okay.
00:56:55Okay.
00:56:56Okay.
00:56:57Okay.
00:56:58Okay.
00:56:58Okay.
00:56:59Okay.
00:57:00Okay.
00:57:00Okay.
00:57:01Okay.
00:57:01Okay.
00:57:02Okay.
00:57:03Okay.
00:57:04Did you get his location?
00:57:09The Oaks.
00:57:108 p.m.
00:57:12After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
00:57:17He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
00:57:28She's not protecting me.
00:57:31She's protecting her business.
00:57:32And I'm just a pawn.
00:57:35But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
00:57:37It's so nice having you back.
00:57:41And I don't just mean from the UK.
00:57:43Yeah.
00:57:43It's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
00:57:45Couple.
00:57:47Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
00:57:51If you can even call them that.
00:57:52But you're healthy now.
00:57:53And I'm at the top of my career.
00:57:55I mean, yeah, there was a time that I love Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
00:58:01The marriage, the kids.
00:58:03I mean, we really tried.
00:58:05I thought I could make it go for it, but it's over.
00:58:10It's over.
00:58:10I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Niswick can offer.
00:58:22Oh.
00:58:23You haven't heard?
00:58:26She dumped him.
00:58:27It was all over People magazine.
00:58:28She ended it when his star faded.
00:58:33Oh my God.
00:58:34What?
00:58:40Daniel!
00:58:45Emily, amazing as always.
00:58:48You flew in all the way from London for this?
00:58:51Please.
00:58:53I wasn't going to miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Jones.
00:58:55How's L.A. treating you?
00:58:59Oh my God.
00:59:00Less tea, but way more traffic.
00:59:03But I am...
00:59:04I'm glad to be back.
00:59:07Well, it's no English countryside.
00:59:08Yeah.
00:59:09But it suits you.
00:59:12You definitely belong here.
00:59:16I do miss you, though.
00:59:17It was fun.
00:59:20Playing the part.
00:59:22British star, but American director.
00:59:25I kept waiting for us to become something real.
00:59:30Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:59:33and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:59:37You can't do this to me!
00:59:40Sabrina.
00:59:41You don't need him.
00:59:42Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:59:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:59:47Move on?
00:59:48Please, honey.
00:59:50He is using her.
00:59:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:59:55He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:59:58How could you say that?
00:59:59I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
01:00:03He's proving that to the whole world.
01:00:06Don't you see it?
01:00:07Sabrina.
01:00:08Look at what you've got.
01:00:10A celebrated career.
01:00:11A mansion in the hills.
01:00:13An adorable kid.
01:00:15Well, when he's not whining.
01:00:17And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
01:00:21You have everything.
01:00:23I don't have him.
01:00:25Mom, I'm hungry.
01:00:27Go have the chef make something.
01:00:29No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
01:00:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
01:00:34Don't talk about him like that.
01:00:36He's your dad.
01:00:37No, Preston is my real dad now.
01:00:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
01:00:43It was fun telling him what to do.
01:00:45When did he get so cruel?
01:00:47You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
01:00:51A doormat.
01:00:53Daniel's a doormat.
01:00:55Daniel's a doormat.
01:00:56Enough!
01:00:57You little shit!
01:01:01Stop!
01:01:09Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:01:11I'm here to help you.
01:01:13Sabrina, we're making a scene.
01:01:16Let's go home.
01:01:17Sabrina?
01:01:18How could you?
01:01:19What?
01:01:19I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:01:23I begged and pleaded.
01:01:25Stop lying.
01:01:27I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:01:31And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:01:36My God, you're disgusting.
01:01:39I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:01:40Not anymore.
01:01:42Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:01:46I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:01:50I'm your mother.
01:01:52I only want what's best for you.
01:01:55What's best for me?
01:01:56You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:02:03That all ends today.
01:02:08You're fired.
01:02:08He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
01:02:25Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
01:02:31That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
01:02:40Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
01:02:44We'll never tell.
01:02:48Oh my God, thanks for saving me.
01:02:51She was practically eye-fucking you.
01:02:53I know.
01:02:54Jeez.
01:02:55This is so surreal.
01:02:56I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
01:02:58I can.
01:02:58The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
01:03:04Daniel, enjoy this.
01:03:07And get used to compliments.
01:03:10It's already our scope of us.
01:03:12Fuck.
01:03:12Finish me, I know.
01:03:14I feel like I'm dreaming.
01:03:17You okay?
01:03:19You always do that when you're nervous.
01:03:21I know, it's, um, I'll have it.
01:03:24Well, the one's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
01:03:28It's always just got a head start.
01:03:42I know.
01:03:43Our press is good press.
01:03:44You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
01:03:58I'm kind of in shock right now.
01:04:01In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
01:04:06I mean, you know this.
01:04:07You're a legend.
01:04:09I appreciate it, Daniel.
01:04:10All right, let me cut to the chase.
01:04:12You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
01:04:15I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
01:04:17I got projects.
01:04:17Come on.
01:04:18You're built for billion dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made
01:04:23in LA, not London.
01:04:24That's where you belong.
01:04:25To be honest, I already did all I, it didn't really end well.
01:04:31Let me guess.
01:04:32My girl?
01:04:33If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
01:04:38You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
01:04:41You can become a household name and I can get you there.
01:04:45You're giving me a lot to think about.
01:04:46Three picture deal.
01:04:48200 million dollar budget each.
01:04:49Creative control and final cut approval.
01:04:52I don't know what to say.
01:04:53Did I just say yes?
01:04:54You have my number.
01:04:55Just don't keep me waiting.
01:04:58Just remember, Daniel, you can't run away from the past.
01:05:01You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:05:14Hey, it's been a while.
01:05:17Can we talk?
01:05:19Fired.
01:05:21No.
01:05:23No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:30You can't do this to me.
01:05:31Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:33I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:35You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:40I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:42You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:45There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:48I made you.
01:05:49You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:54I think she'll do just fine.
01:05:57We're done here, Mom.
01:06:04If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now without another word.
01:06:13I have something to say.
01:06:25I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:30Daniel, I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:34I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:38I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:48Apologize to your father.
01:06:50Do I have to?
01:06:51Jackson, who raised you, cared for you, packed your lunches when I was on set, laid with you
01:07:01when you had nightmares, and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:04He did.
01:07:05He loved you.
01:07:07But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:09I was wrong.
01:07:11Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:16And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:19I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:24It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:26I love you.
01:07:28Okay.
01:07:29Come on, Jackson.
01:07:30Let's go.
01:07:37I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:40For everything.
01:07:46Waiting for us to become something real.
01:07:48I'm sorry.
01:07:49Just cast me and we'll call it even.
01:07:54You were amazing as always.
01:07:57It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:08:03I never was, was I?
01:08:05Anyways, got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:08:10Maybe I'll see you around.
01:08:12Yeah.
01:08:12Give me a coffee and you know what?
01:08:26Go get one for yourself, too.
01:08:29And be generous with the sugar.
01:08:31What am I going to do?
01:08:35What am I going to do?
01:08:45That was quick.
01:08:46What are you doing here?
01:08:47What are you doing here?
01:08:59I came to audition.
01:09:03Did you bring any representation?
01:09:05No.
01:09:05I fired my manager, remember?
01:09:09I'm starting fresh.
01:09:11Right.
01:09:12Um.
01:09:15Hi.
01:09:17I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:09:21Don't let me go.
01:09:22I got you.
01:09:23I'll never let you go.
01:09:27Are you okay?
01:09:29Yeah.
01:09:29It's an old wound that, um, never really healed.
01:09:35I understand.
01:09:36Daniel Johnson, nice to meet you.
01:09:47Please.
01:09:55Are you ready?
01:10:06I'll never let you go.
01:10:08I'll never let you go.
01:10:09I'll never let you go.
01:10:10I'll never let you go.
01:10:11I'll never let you go.
01:10:12I'll never let you go.
01:10:13I'll never let you go.
01:10:14I'll never let you go.
01:10:15I'll never let you go.
01:10:16I'll never let you go.
01:10:17I'll never let you go.
01:10:18I'll never let you go.
01:10:19I'll never let you go.
01:10:20I'll never let you go.
01:10:21I'll never let you go.
01:10:22I'll never let you go.
01:10:23I'll never let you go.
01:10:24I'll never let you go.
01:10:25I'll never let you go.
01:10:26I'll never let you go.
01:10:27I'll never let you go.
01:10:28I'll never let you go.
01:10:29I'll never let you go.
01:10:30I'll never let you go.
01:11:01I know that look, Daniel.
01:11:12You're thinking of going back to them.
01:11:17I just didn't know it'd be this hard.
01:11:19They hurt you, Daniel.
01:11:22They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:11:29People can change.
01:11:32But that doesn't change the past.
01:11:37And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:11:45Daniel! Daniel! Daniel!
01:11:47Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on the shelf for 10 years?
01:11:54Yes.
01:11:55I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:12:01But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:12:02Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:12:14Way to go, Jan!
01:12:15Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:12:36How many more do we have today?
01:12:4640, sir.
01:12:47Jesus.
01:12:48Yay, boy!
01:12:49How are we looking?
01:12:50We're still digging.
01:12:51Okay, um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:12:55I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:12:59All right, here's the deal.
01:13:00The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:13:03Today?
01:13:05Are you fucking kidding me?
01:13:06That's why I love you, man.
01:13:07Cool under pressure.
01:13:09This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:13:14Oh, my God.
01:13:15All right, just bring in the next one.
01:13:17But that would be Emily Blake.
01:13:23Emily.
