00:00:00This is so going viral. I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:00:04It 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.
00:00:25My own son doesn't respect me.
00:00:29But 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.
00:00:36It'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 cool 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.
00:00:55Now 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.
00:01:21Daniel!
00:01:25You know, it's probably for the best.
00:01:27From 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.
00:01:37I 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.
00:01:46Who cares about him, mommy?
00:01:47Now 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.
00:01:58I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:02:01I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:02:04You're really good at that.
00:02:05Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:02:10A 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.
00:02:25He has to understand.
00:02:27This is Hollywood.
00:02:27It'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 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 premiere.
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
00:03:34family'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.
00:03:40I want a divorce.
00:03:46Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:03:49Huh?
00:03:51I want a di...
00:03:55I 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.
00:04:10Seriously?
00:04:11Your 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?
00:04:21How 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.
00:04:28Hard 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.
00:04:36And 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.
00:05:14Maybe 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.
00:05:22You're a pussy in an apron.
00:05:23I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:05:27And you're washed up, Pat.
00:05:29Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:05:31How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:05:33I heard your agents 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.
00:05:43I 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, Preston, Preston.
00:05:51You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:06:18To be honest, I could use a break from home
00:06:22Trouble with the missus?
00:06:26Uh, yeah, it's pretty obvious
00:06:29Most married folks that come in here are miserable
00:06:32I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood
00:06:39True love story holding hands, wiping tears
00:06:43I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice
00:06:46You said, um, a couple?
00:06:49I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:06:54She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted
00:06:58She was so sweet
00:07:04Need a witness to check on that shoulder for you?
00:07:07No, it's... it's an old wound
00:07:10I tore it actually, um, ten years ago
00:07:15Daniel!
00:07:16Sweet and caring
00:07:18So Preston's found the WiFi I always wanted
00:07:22He only had to break her heart to get it
00:07:24And left me to pick up the pieces
00:07:26And left me to pick up the pieces
00:07:32Fuck it!
00:07:34Let me go get my shit and go
00:07:36I can't let her create a public scene
00:07:38All it takes is one article to get her cancelled
00:07:40Are you going somewhere?
00:07:42Honey!
00:07:44Oh, what a coincidence
00:07:46We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation
00:07:48Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:07:50A vacation?
00:07:52Finally!
00:07:53You're paying attention
00:07:54Yeah
00:07:56I'm gonna leave in a few days
00:07:58Well, thanks for telling your wife
00:08:00What are we supposed to do without you?
00:08:02Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:08:04That's not what I meant
00:08:05Whoa!
00:08:06Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here
00:08:08That's fine
00:08:09Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit
00:08:12Just like any good husband would
00:08:14Oh, I see
00:08:16Is it me?
00:08:17Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:08:19I wouldn't put jealousy past him
00:08:21I always knew you were the self-loving type
00:08:23You know what?
00:08:24Maybe I should go
00:08:25I don't want to get between the two of you
00:08:27No, please stay
00:08:28I want you to live with us forever and ever
00:08:31No, you know what?
00:08:33I'll go
00:08:34And clearly she wants you
00:08:36Willing to dance to his tune
00:08:38Daniel, wait
00:08:40I won't ever let you go
00:08:42He won't leave, he promised
00:08:44It doesn't have to be like this
00:08:47We could pull up a chair and we can
00:08:50I'm gonna go back
00:08:54Daniel!
00:09:01The movie's Greenland and the studio wants you to direct
00:09:04We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow
00:09:06I can't
00:09:07My wife needs me here in LA
00:09:09After all I've sacrificed
00:09:11My scripts, my career, my future
00:09:15All pushed aside
00:09:17At least there is one good thing to come from this
00:09:20I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life
00:09:24Hey mom, how you doing?
00:09:25Oh good dear
00:09:27I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account
00:09:31Do you need more?
00:09:32No, no, no, no
00:09:33You've already done so much
00:09:35I'm just trying to help
00:09:37I know
00:09:38But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle
00:09:42I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done
00:09:45But it's time you lived your life
00:09:49I am mom
00:09:51And I promise
00:09:53Very soon
00:09:57Everything's gonna change
00:09:59You have a wonderful fear
00:10:00You deserve more than what they put you through
00:10:02Everyone come quick, come quick
00:10:05I gotta go, love you
00:10:10What is it mom?
00:10:11Someone very special decided to pay us a visit
00:10:13Our 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
00:10:38What was that?
00:10:39Daniel!
00:10:40What is happening?
00:10:41It was dad, mom
00:10:42Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood
00:10:43What?
00:10:44I'm so scared
00:10:45That'd be pretty good, babe
00:10:46What the hell, Daniel?
00:10:47I just wanted to hang out with Jackson
00:10:48I came in looking for a fight
00:10:49What?
00:10:50I didn't?
00:10:51Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:10:52You're acting like a jealous child
00:10:53I thought you were bigger than this petty shit
00:10:54He threw a fish tank at me
00:10:55It's just a fucking fish tank, grow up!
00:10:56Remember where in the public eye?
00:10:57What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:10:58What, everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:11:00Maybe I should go on
00:11:01I'm sorry
00:11:02No!
00:11:03Oh my god
00:11:04He's lying
00:11:05You're a monster!
00:11:06And in front of your son?
00:11:07You have to be kidding
00:11:08We have to get you to the hospital
00:11:09We'll talk about this when I get home
00:11:10What?
00:11:11Please don't
00:11:12I'll just go on
00:11:13I'll just talk about this when I get home
00:11:14What?
00:11:15Please don't
00:11:16I'll just go on
00:11:17I'll just go on
00:11:18I'll just go on
00:11:19There's a fucking fish tank
00:11:20There's a fucking fish tank
00:11:21Throw up!
00:11:22Remember where in the public eye?
00:11:23What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:11:24What?
00:11:25Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:11:26I'm sorry
00:11:27No
00:11:28I'm sorry
00:11:29No
00:11:30Oh my god
00:11:31He's lying
00:11:32You're a monster
00:11:33And in front of your son
00:11:34You have to be kidding
00:11:35We have to get you to the hospital
00:11:36We'll talk about this when I get home
00:11:37I want to clean this up.
00:11:42Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:11:46She's mine now, loser.
00:11:57Hello, 9-1-1, what's your emergency?
00:12:00I'm bleeding out. I think I hit an artery.
00:12:03I need an ambulance now.
00:12:05Good to see you.
00:12:13Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:12:15Oh, too long.
00:12:17Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:12:20Yeah, of course, babe.
00:12:22Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit. Are you kidding?
00:12:24Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:12:28Oh, there he is, the assistant.
00:12:31I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:12:34How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:12:39Stop.
00:12:40I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:12:46Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:12:50Daniel.
00:12:51Oh.
00:12:52Don't embarrass me.
00:12:53No, it's fine.
00:12:54I'm sorry.
00:12:55Whoa.
00:12:56You played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:12:58He's not just tough.
00:12:59He's Brett Stale tough.
00:13:01You think, you know?
00:13:02My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:13:05He doesn't let me do anything.
00:13:06Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:13:10What are you saying, huh?
00:13:11Huh?
00:13:12Yeah.
00:13:13Sabrina.
00:13:14I think it's time he leaves.
00:13:16That's fine.
00:13:17That's fine.
00:13:19Just relax, okay?
00:13:21Be nice.
00:13:22Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:13:36when 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.
00:13:54Daniel, 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.
00:14:07I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:14:13Daniel really did it.
00:14:15The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:14:18You think you can divorce America's sweetheart?
00:14:21You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:14:24Our contract expired.
00:14:26I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:14:28If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:14:32The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:14:36I'll always love myself, but he's a bully and he learned it from the best in the business,
00:14:43his grandmother.
00:14:44You used to worship Sabrina.
00:14:46What happened?
00:14:47That was a long time ago.
00:14:48America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:14:52All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:14:56But her career is hanging by a thread.
00:14:58I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:15:01You've always loved her, Daniel.
00:15:03I've seen it.
00:15:05She needs that now.
00:15:07Stay.
00:15:08Marry her.
00:15:10Love her.
00:15:11So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:15:14I 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.
00:15:21If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last 10 years meant more to me than they
00:15:27ever did to her.
00:15:28This was the last one.
00:15:32Mom.
00:15:33Daniel.
00:15:34What's going on?
00:15:37Why 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.
00:15:44After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:16:06Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:16:08She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:16:13Sabrina Donovan?
00:16:15I could scream.
00:16:16I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:16:17Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:16:22OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:16:25A scene that I wrote, uncredited of course.
00:16:28Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:16:30Wait, are you two dating?
00:16:32Oh, well actually, this is totally a date.
00:16:35All these years, I couldn't even be seeing what they're in public.
00:16:44Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:16:46You're not really a part of my brand.
00:16:48Your brand?
00:16:50It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:16:52You get it, right?
00:16:53Right?
00:17:02So, you two are a thing?
00:17:03Well, I...
00:17:04It's okay babe, we don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:17:07Are you really gonna ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:17:20No, it's not like that.
00:17:22I...
00:17:23What?
00:17:25You know what, fine.
00:17:28You two look great together.
00:17:30Daniel, I...
00:17:44And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:17:47Um...
00:17:55I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:17:59Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:18:04I was never the homemaker.
00:18:09Please, Daniel.
00:18:11I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:18:30If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:18:33I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:18:35I can't miss.
00:18:48Look 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.
00:18:55Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:19:05You once liked my short film.
00:19:06I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:19:17It needs the right producer.
00:19:18I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:19:22Where have you been?
00:19:25I kept calling.
00:19:26I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:19:29Huh?
00:19:34What? I've been busy.
00:19:35Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:19:38Seriously?
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?
00:19:48I...
00:19:49I...
00:19:50I just...
00:19:52I'm sorry.
00:19:53I...
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.
00:20:11And I think you should go for it.
00:20:12I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:20:16But...
00:20:17I just...
00:20:18I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:20:22Seriously.
00:20:24I...
00:20:25I care about you.
00:20:30I'm no man.
00:20:32I've known you for 14 years.
00:20:34I know when you're angry.
00:20:36Really? I didn't think you paid attention.
00:20:38I pay attention?
00:20:40Since when do I not pay attention?
00:20:43She signed the papers without reading them.
00:20:46That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:20:48A headlight.
00:20:50A performance.
00:20:52Sabrina.
00:20:53A performance.
00:20:56A performance.
00:20:57Yeah.
00:20:58It's nice.
00:20:59But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the sale.
00:21:09Ooh, careful.
00:21:11You alright?
00:21:13I'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!
00:21:27If the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:21:29I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:21:33Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:21:36What?
00:21:38For real?
00:21:39Yeah.
00:21:40My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:21:43Donovan Cosmetics.
00:21:45Rich.
00:21:47Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:21:50I 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. You're so caught up on the morals.
00:21:58You realize that's why no one bought your scripts. They 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 turn.
00:22:14There you 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.
00:22:20I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:22:21Okay.
00:22:22Oh.
00:22:24Okay.
00:22:25Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:22:30Anyways.
00:22:31Come on, Ben. Let's go.
00:22:33Looks great.
00:22:34Gotcha.
00:22:35There we go.
00:22:36Oh.
00:22:38There's Paps.
00:22:40You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:22:42Last time.
00:22:43I promise.
00:22:44I promise.
00:22:45You're right.
00:22:46It is the last time.
00:22:49You guys.
00:22:52Hi.
00:22:53Jackson.
00:22:54Jackson.
00:23:00Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:23:04Contract's fine.
00:23:07It's over.
00:23:09Sabrina, I'm gonna-
00:23:10You know what?
00:23:11I hate fighting, so let's just forget about this, okay?
00:23:15I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:23:22I gave that to you three years ago.
00:23:25You telling me you finally read it?
00:23:27Well, yeah.
00:23:28The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:23:31The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:23:34I 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, and 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.
00:24:00I would have melted in her hands.
00:24:02Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:24:05Fine.
00:24:06I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:24:27Well, if I've had a lot of experience making it for you, I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:24:32That's not what I meant.
00:24:34I like it when you make it.
00:24:38I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:24:41I knew it.
00:24:44You 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.
00:24:59It's good to know where you stand.
00:25:01No, Daniel!
00:25:02No, that's not what I meant!
00:25:07Please.
00:25:08Better than yours.
00:25:09Yeah.
00:25:10Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:25:13Oh, good!
00:25:15You're up!
00:25:17Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:25:22It's fun.
00:25:24What? Don't look at me like that.
00:25:25I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:25:27Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:25:33How lucky for him.
00:25:34He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:25:37Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:25:41Listen, Matt, I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:25:47You can trust me.
00:25:50Preston, I think you're drunk.
00:25:52You need to go right now.
00:25:54Alright.
00:25:55Oh, hey, Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:25:59I, I, when you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:26:05I, I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:26:09Just ignore him. He 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.
00:26:17Jealous?
00:26:18My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:26:23Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:26:27You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:26:31That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:26:40Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:26:45My God, 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.
00:27:04But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:27:06Dang it.
00:27:09Think about it, Daniel.
00:27:14Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts and then I will be free.
00:27:20Sabrina, we, we need to talk.
00:27:23Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:27:27I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:27:31I saw Preston was there.
00:27:32I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:27:36I mean, we owe him.
00:27:38Yeah, and then he cheated on you.
00:27:40And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:27:43I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:27:45Lunch is on the stove.
00:27:47But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:27:50No! I want to eat now!
00:28:02Mmm, 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 at that god-awful Fanity Fair shoot.
00:28:15I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick.
00:28:18This isn't easy, but 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! I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:28:27You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:28:31But I want them!
00:28:33Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:28:37You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:28:41Stop it!
00:28:49I waited. I 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. Just enough.
00:29:08I want a divorce.
00:29:12I want a divorce.
00:29:14I want a divorce.
00:29:16I want a divorce.
00:29:18Mommy, you f***ed.
00:29:20Please, we can't leave him.
00:29:23I...
00:29:25I have...
00:29:26I have to help Preston.
00:29:29Oh my God.
00:29:31Uh...
00:29:34Oh my God.
00:29:36I don't know.
00:29:37Come on, Jackson.
00:29:48Daniel!
00:29:50I got you.
00:29:51Don't let me go!
00:29:53She's made her choice.
00:29:55There's no going back.
00:29:56We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to
00:29:59after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:30:03Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:30:07All right, cut.
00:30:14That's a wrap, everyone.
00:30:17We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:30:20Sabrina was a rising star.
00:30:23I was just the director's assistant.
00:30:26Our future's ahead of us.
00:30:30If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden castle.
00:30:37It destroyed me.
00:30:52you destroyed me
00:31:07rest of you
00:31:08I just love you
00:31:09I'm a man
00:31:10No
00:31:10No
00:31:11No
00:31:12no
00:31:13No
00:31:13No
00:31:14No
00:31:14No
00:31:14No
00:31:15No
00:31:15No
00:31:16No
00:31:16No
00:31:17No
00:31:17No
00:31:18No
00:31:18No
00:31:19No
00:31:19No
00:31:20No
00:31:21No
00:31:21No
00:31:22Sabrina, don't!
00:31:25Stay back.
00:31:27I mean it.
00:31:28Sabrina, don't do this.
00:31:32Just...
00:31:34Just give me your hand.
00:31:48No!
00:31:50Daniel!
00:31:52I got you.
00:31:53No!
00:31:55Don'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 we go.
00:32:26There he is.
00:32:33God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:32:36Man.
00:32:37No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:32:39Life of an A-Lister, I guess.
00:32:43I got 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.
00:32:54Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:32:56Hey, uh...
00:33:02You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:33:06No.
00:33:07A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:33:10Why would I be threatened by that?
00:33:11It'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, ma'am.
00:33:37You know what?
00:33:38Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:33:39Here we go.
00:33:40No, it's not 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 bad examples.
00:34:03Yeah?
00:34:03What's that supposed to mean?
00:34:06You're so annoying!
00:34:08Don't push.
00:34:10I 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 is you just saw me?
00:34:24Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:34:37Now we can make a clean break.
00:34:40I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:34:41There'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.
00:35:13Just 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.
00:35:39Climb 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, who's going to leave me?
00:36:16No.
00:36:19What the hell?
00:36:21What happened?
00:36:24Oh 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?
00:37:03Sabrina.
00:37:03Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:09I think one of them's broken.
00:37:11Sabrina?
00:37:12Honey?
00:37:13We need to help Preston.
00:37:17But Daniel.
00:37:21Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:24What the fuck?
00:37:26Seriously?
00:37:27Stay down.
00:37:28I know.
00:37:29Why's he down?
00:37:30Oh.
00:37:31I'm gonna go call the doctor.
00:37:32Hey.
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?
00:37:48I don't know what 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 to 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!
00:38:30Breakfast 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?
00:38:58What 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.
00:39:10How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:39:14If 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.
00:39:29You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:39:39That'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?
00:39:50You were revolting.
00:39:52No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:39:54Hey, why don't you watch your mouth?
00:39:58Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:40:03Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:40:05Oh yeah?
00:40:06What lesson is that, Preston?
00:40:08You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:40:28What 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, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:40:48Is there something you're not telling me?
00:40:50Please, I 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.
00:41:12He 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.
00:41:22And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:41:25Yeah, but I hate him.
00:41:33Hello?
00:41:35Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:41:36Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:41:38I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:41:40I'm sorry, I 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, but I'm not surprised.
00:41:50Flag his name.
00:41:52I want him frozen and cut off.
00:41:56Jackson, 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?
00:42:21Hey, we can finally come on.
00:42:23I said get off.
00:42:25I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:42:27No, forget about him.
00:42:28Look, I love Jackson and 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.
00:42:37I mean, come on.
00:42:38Sabrina, your son, your mother, even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:42:43What?
00:42:45Look, he's already moved on.
00:42:50No.
00:42:51What have I done?
00:42:53Where is he?
00:42:54What about me?
00:42:55You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:42:59I need to go take care of my husband.
00:43:09I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:43:20Oh, please.
00:43:22She'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.
00:43:43Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:43:47Do 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.
00:43:54Really?
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.
00:44:05Speaking 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.
00:44:18What are you doing here?
00:44:19You never come to these things.
00:44:21That'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.
00:44:35Is there a problem?
00:44:41What 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.
00:44:54I mean, I can't pretend.
00:44:57I just want him back.
00:45:00Honey.
00:45:01It's time to let him go.
00:45:04You don't love him anyway.
00:45:06Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:45:09What?
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.
00:45:24But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:45:27Daniel's my husband and the father of my son.
00:45:31Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:45:39Contract?
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.
00:45:53You've always been there for her, from film school to now.
00:45:57I've seen it.
00:45:59She needs you.
00:46:00Stay, marry her, love her, so that she's never alone again.
00:46:05It 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?
00:46:30You 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, Hollywood starlet.
00:46:50Believe me, it's for the best.
00:46:52No, he can't be gone.
00:46:54He can't.
00:46:55Yes, he is gone and he is gone forever.
00:46:59He can't be.
00:47:00He can't be gone.
00:47:01I can't.
00:47:14He can't be gone.
00:47:23Hello?
00:47:24Excuse me.
00:47:25Excuse me.
00:47:27Hi.
00:47:27Have you seen my husband?
00:47:30Please, he was someone bleeding out.
00:47:31I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:47:36He didn't come back in, though.
00:47:42Daniel, where are you?
00:47:43I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:47:48Please try again later.
00:47:50What have I done?
00:48:02Come on, Daniel.
00:48:03Answer me.
00:48:04He's not gone.
00:48:10He's not gone.
00:48:12I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:48:23He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:48:27No.
00:48:30It's not possible.
00:48:32He will be back.
00:48:36No.
00:48:44It 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.
00:49:00After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:49:19I got you.
00:49:26Don't let me go!
00:49:30Was I ever really paying attention?
00:49:36Daniel?
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.
00:49:46He just left us.
00:49:47Do 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!
00:50:08Sabrina?
00:50:09What's gotten into you?
00:50:11Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:50:13Whoa.
00:50:14What's going on here?
00:50:17This room feels really tense.
00:50:18Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:50:20I 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, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:50:29It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:50:36Hey, baby.
00:50:37Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:50:39Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:50:41Really?
00:50:41Loser?
00:50:42Yeah.
00:50:43You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:50:47And you've been mooching off of me and 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 Box that's already generated
00:50:59a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:51:04Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:51:07Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:51:14What's going through your head tonight?
00:51:17Um, honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own sh** feet.
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.
00:51:27Uh, yeah, um, god, 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, I 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.
00:51:41And it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:44Speaking of London, since you're an American rights director,
00:51:47will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:52Hollywood.
00:51:54Get out of the country.
00:51:56If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:52:00I will make your life a living hell.
00:52:06Daniel?
00:52:06Security!
00:52:10Come on, just let's talk about this.
00:52:12No.
00:52:14Celeste, do something!
00:52:16Sabrina!
00:52:17Come on, Sabrina!
00:52:19Was 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,
00:52:34not some money-grubbing manager.
00:52:37Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:52:40Of 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? No, babe, babe, come on.
00:52:58Please, please, I love you.
00:52:59Just, just think about it.
00:53:01Look at the press, what this will look like.
00:53:03If I have to call my security,
00:53:06all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:53:08Get out.
00:53:08Hey, just...
00:53:09Now!
00:53:10Just give me your hand, come on.
00:53:11No.
00:53:12Just...
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 gonna be alone again.
00:53:23He truly knew me.
00:53:27He loved me.
00:53:29Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:53:37I saved you from social suicide!
00:53:39Saved me?
00:53:40You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:53:43Daniel saved me from the ledge, and he saved me from you.
00:53:48You!
00:53:50Security!
00:53:51Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:53:55Of course, uh, it'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, she knows who she is.
00:54:10Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:54:15You arrogant little shit!
00:54:18I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I 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 and find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
00:54:36It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:54:40Mom?
00:54:41What are you doing?
00:54:45Did you just break my TV?
00:54:48Can 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.
00:55:02Why didn't you tell me?
00:55:04Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:55:06I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:55:09I need 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, then I will get a manager who will.
00:55:17Oh, honey.
00:55:18I'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.
00:55:28Him.
00:55:28Go.
00:55:29That's really, really low.
00:55:34Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in 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.
00:55:47You'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.
00:55:59But I haven't.
00:56:00Because you know what?
00:56:01Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:02It's not like that.
00:56:04Okay?
00:56:04Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:08I 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.
00:57:02This is, um, it's another movie deal.
00:57:05I'll tell you about it after.
00:57:06Did you get his location?
00:57:24The Oaks, 8 p.m.
00:57:26After 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.
00:57:50But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
00:57:52It'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.
00:58:06If you can even call them that.
00:58:07But you're healthy now.
00:58:08And I'm at the top of my career.
00:58:10I mean, yeah, there was a time that I love Sabrina.
00:58:13But 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.
00:58:21But, um, it's over.
00:58:25It's over.
00:58:26I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks press Cindy Swickenhofer.
00:58:37Oh, you 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, what?
00:58:49Oh my god, let's see if I can see it.
00:58:55Daniel!
00:59:00Emily, amazing as always.
00:59:04You 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 Jones.
00:59:12How's LA treating you?
00:59:14Oh my god, less tea but way more traffic.
00:59:18But I am...
00:59:20I'm glad to be back.
00:59:21Well, it's no English countryside.
00:59:23Yeah.
00:59:24But it suits you.
00:59:28You definitely belong here.
00:59:32I do miss you though.
00:59:34It was fun.
00:59:35Playing the part.
00:59:36British starlet.
00:59:38American director.
00:59:40I 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 bitch?
00:59:53They can't do this to me.
00:59:54Sabrina.
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?
01:00:03Please, honey.
01:00:05He is using her.
01:00:07Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place?
01:00:10He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
01:00:12How 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?
01:00:21Sabrina.
01:00:22Look at what you've got.
01:00:25A celebrated career.
01:00:26A mansion in the hills.
01:00:28An adorable kid.
01:00:30Well, and he's not whining.
01:00:32And don't forget about Preston.
01:00:34Your dream man.
01:00:36You have everything.
01:00:37I 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.
01:00:53Preston 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.
01:01:09Daniel's a doormat.
01:01:11Enough!
01:01:12You little shit!
01:01:16Stop.
01:01:22Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:01:27I'm here to help you.
01:01:28Sabrina, you'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.
01:01:42I 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, you're disgusting.
01:01:53I'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.
01:02:21You're fired.
01:02:36He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
01:02:40Daniel 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,
01:02:50two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
01:02:55Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
01:02:59We'll never tell.
01:03:00Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
01:03:06She was practically eye-fucking you.
01:03:08I know, jeez.
01:03:09This is so surreal.
01:03:10I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
01:03:12I can.
01:03:13The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
01:03:19Daniel, enjoy this and get used to compliments.
01:03:24There's already Oscar buzz.
01:03:26Fuck.
01:03:27Finish me, I know.
01:03:29I feel like I'm dreaming.
01:03:32You okay?
01:03:34You always do that when you're nervous.
01:03:35I know, it's um, we'll have it.
01:03:38I know.
01:03:39Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
01:03:44Some of us just got a head start.
01:03:57I know.
01:03:58Our press is good press.
01:03:59You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
01:04:13I'm kind of 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.
01:04:26All 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.
01:04:42To be honest, I already did all.
01:04:44It didn't really end well.
01:04:46Let me guess.
01:04:46My 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.
01:04:55You can become a household name and I can get you there.
01:04:59You're giving me a lot to think about.
01:05:01Three picture deal, 200 million dollar budget each, creative 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, you 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?
01:05:33I'm tired.
01:05:34No.
01:05:39No.
01:05:43No.
01:05:45You can't do this to me.
01:05:46Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:48I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:49You 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.
01:06:04I made you.
01:06:05You'd be nothing without me.
01:06:06I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:18We'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.
01:06:36I 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.
01:06:54I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:07:02Apologize 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.
01:07:26Jackson, he gave us 10 years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:31And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:34I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:39It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:40I love you.
01:07:42Okay.
01:07:43Come on, Jackson, let's go.
01:07:52I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:53For everything.
01:08:01Waiting for us to become something real.
01:08:03I'm sorry, Halloween.
01:08:04It just cast me and we'll call it even.
01:08:09You, you were amazing as always.
01:08:12It's just, it's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:08:16I never was, was I?
01:08:20Anyways, got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:08:25Maybe I'll see you around.
01:08:26Give me a coffee and you know what?
01:08:41Go get one for yourself too.
01:08:44And be generous with the sugar.
01:08:46Oh my god, what am I going to do?
01:09:01That was quick.
01:09:01What are you doing here?
01:09:15I came to audition.
01:09:19Did you bring any representation?
01:09:20No.
01:09:22I fired my manager, remember?
01:09:25I'm starting fresh.
01:09:26Right, um.
01:09:27Hi, I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:09:36Don't let me go.
01:09:38I got you.
01:09:39I'll never let you go.
01:09:43Are you okay?
01:09:44Yeah, it's an old wound that, um,
01:09:47never really healed.
01:09:50I understand.
01:09:51Daniel Johnson.
01:09:58Nice to meet you.
01:10:02Please.
01:10:10Whenever you're ready.
01:10:21We're always waiting.
01:10:30Yeah.
01:10:31We're waiting.
01:10:33Ooh.
01:10:40I'm sorry.
01:10:44provisions.
01:10:44We're not everything.
01:11:47But that doesn't change the past.
01:11:52And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:12:00Daniel! Daniel! Daniel! Daniel, 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. I'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.
01:12:51Thank you. We'll keep in touch.
01:12:59How many more do we have today?
01:13:0140, sir.
01:13:02Jesus.
01:13:03Hey, boy! How are we looking?
01:13:05We're still digging.
01:13:06Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:13:10I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:13:14All right, here's the deal.
01:13:15The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:13:19Today? Are 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.
01:13:26Oh, my God.
01:13:30All right, just bring in the next one.
01:13:32That would be Emily Blake.
01:13:39Emily.
