00:08:35Don't!
00:08:37Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:40Sabrina.
00:08:41Don't do this.
00:08:44Just...
00:08:45Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:00Daniel!

00:09:05No!
00:09:06Don't let me go!
00:09:08I won't ever let you go.
00:09:09I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees around me.
00:09:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:22I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:26Good to see you.
00:09:35Good to see you!
00:09:36Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:40Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:43Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:47Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:51Oh, there he is!
00:09:53The assistant!
00:09:54I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:58How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:02I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel!
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:15Don't embarrass me.
00:10:16No, it's fine.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:22He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:26My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:30Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:33What are you saying, huh?
00:10:35Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:41It's fine.
00:10:43Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:54Some people never change.
00:10:56But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:14Oh, man, I'm careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:23Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Cheese, too?
00:11:27Ew.
00:11:28What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:32Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:42Well, babe, for real?
00:11:44Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:51I'm rich.
00:11:53Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:57I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:01Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:04You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:06They were so dull.
00:12:07These mysteries for my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:11Lucky for you, Uncle Preston's a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:15So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:21Here we go.
00:12:22What?
00:12:22Yeah.
00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28So.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:32Oh, and I wouldn't invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code.
00:12:37So.
00:12:37Anyways.
00:12:38Come on, baby.
00:12:38Let's go.
00:12:40Let's carry on you.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:44There's caps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:50I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:54It is the last time.
00:12:57You guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:01Yes.
00:13:07Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract sign.
00:13:12It's over.
00:13:16Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is it 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:25I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:26Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:43Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:47She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:52Sabrina Donovan, I could scream.
00:13:55I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:01Oh, gee, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:04A scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:14:07Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually...
00:14:12It's totally a date.
00:14:15All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:25You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:27Your brand?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:31You get it, right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:46This is so going viral.
00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:59It looks like more than dating.
00:15:01Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:07You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:09That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:11He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:14But Preston is awesome.
00:15:17He's an action spy.
00:15:19I wish he was my dad.
00:15:20My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:25But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:33If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if Mom's cool with it.
00:15:40Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:41Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:44Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:44Come on, then.
00:15:48Let's go, Michelle.
00:16:05Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:08I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:13Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:24On the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:28Daniel, he's here?
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:32Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:33I was just doing that for Lucy.
00:16:34I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:38Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:42Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:44Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:50Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:54You need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:01You're really good at that.
00:17:02Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket.
00:17:09So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over.
00:17:14But if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:17I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:23This is Hollywood.
00:17:24It's just part of the job.
00:17:27Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:29I can explain.
00:17:29Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:40All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:43Are you going somewhere?
00:17:44Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:48We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:53A vacation?
00:17:54Final.
00:17:55You're paying attention.
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:57I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:18:00Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:04Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:10It's fine.
00:18:11Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:14Just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look how you see.
00:18:17Is it me?
00:18:19Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:23I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:25You know what?
00:18:26Maybe I should go.
00:18:27I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:30I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:33No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:38I'm willing to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:40I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:45He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:49We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:51I'm going to go back.
00:18:56Daniel!
00:19:01Let them here.
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:06Oh, good.
00:19:09You're up.
00:19:09Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:15It's fun.
00:19:17Don't look at me like that.
00:19:19I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:22Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:28He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:30Oh, Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:34Yeah.
00:19:35Listen, man, I...
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and...
00:19:40Nothing happened.
00:19:41You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're at the same time.
00:19:46Anything right now.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:48All right.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:53I...
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:59I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:03Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:09Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:17Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:28That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:40God.
00:20:41God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:51No, it's not like that.
00:20:53I...
00:20:53What?
00:20:56You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59You two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:03And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:22Um...
00:21:22I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:35I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:41I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:01If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:04I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:19Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:23If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:27There he is.
00:22:45God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:49Man.
00:22:49No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:56I've got some.
00:22:58Yeah.
00:22:59What do you mean?
00:23:00Oh, oh.
00:23:01Yeah, there you go.
00:23:02I don't need some of this shit, but...
00:23:04I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:06I'm bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:13Hey, uh...
00:23:14You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of you last night, right?
00:23:18No.
00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:23Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:27It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:31What's going on, Jackson?
00:23:43Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:44I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:48And it's unfair.
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:51Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:54Ooh.
00:23:55No.
00:23:57Not to play with that.
00:23:58You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on.
00:24:03It's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:09It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:24:14bad examples.
00:24:16Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:19You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:23I said don't push.
00:24:29Go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man sir.
00:24:35I'm going to hit you.
00:24:35What the hell is he just showing me?
00:24:40Call a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:43He's not your kid.
00:24:45I wish I was.
00:24:46I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:52Ouch.
00:24:53I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:24:55So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:59But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:04Man of the house?
00:25:05Please.
00:25:06You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid,
00:25:09much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed apart.
00:25:13Still writing on all your old headlines.
00:25:15How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:16I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star!
00:25:21A star?
00:25:22A star that needs his ex to bring it back into the spotlight.
00:25:26Jackson, come on.
00:25:27I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:28No, I'm not going.
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:35Preston!
00:25:35You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:06Daniel!
00:26:10What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:16What?
00:26:16You're so scared!
00:26:17I thought it'd be good, baby.
00:26:19What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:22I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:24I didn't.
00:26:25Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:28Daniel, I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:31He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:34Bro, I'm up.
00:26:35Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What?
00:26:40Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:44Maybe I should go on.
00:26:45Sorry.
00:26:46No.
00:26:46Oh, my God.
00:26:49He's lying.
00:26:51You're a monster.
00:26:53And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding.
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:02Clean this up.
00:27:05Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:21Hello, segment one.
00:27:22What's your emergency?
00:27:24I'm waiting now.
00:27:25I think I hit an R.E.
00:27:26I think maybe it's now.
00:27:28Now.
00:27:29You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:41So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:45To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:48Trouble with the missus?
00:27:49Uh, yeah.
00:27:54Pretty obvious.
00:27:55Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:03We pressed in Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:09I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:12You said, um, couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:28:20She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:26You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:33No, it's...
00:28:35It's my wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:41Daniel!
00:28:41Sweet and caring.
00:28:45So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:51and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:57Fuck it!
00:28:58Fuck it!
00:29:01I'm going to get my shit out of here.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:08I have a strip I've been sitting on.
00:29:11It needs the right producer.
00:29:20I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:25Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:28I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:31Huh?
00:29:35What? I've been busy.
00:29:37I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:40Seriously?
00:29:40Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:51I...
00:29:51I just...
00:29:51I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry.
00:29:54I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:59It is, but it's...
00:30:03But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:13And I think you should go for it.
00:30:15I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:18But I just...
00:30:19I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:25Seriously.
00:30:26I...
00:30:26I care about you.
00:30:28I don't know that.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:38Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:43Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48It's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:52A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting.
00:31:02So let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:31:12I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:15You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah.
00:31:18The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:26Me and you.
00:31:27The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:31I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes?
00:31:40And for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:44Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:45There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:53Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:32:18Well, if I've had a lot of experience making it for you, I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:31I knew it.
00:32:35You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:48It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:04Just leave it.
00:33:06I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:10And what?
00:33:11It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:13I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:20I have a mirror.
00:33:20We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:37What?
00:33:38Is that how you talked to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah, ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:42Not quite.
00:33:43That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our
00:33:48family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:51Remember that.
00:33:52I'm texting you the address of where it may be.
00:33:54I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:10Oh, please.
00:34:11She's always been so secretive.
00:34:13I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:19I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:25Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:34We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:36Do you know where she is?
00:34:38Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:41He's been staying with us.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old, born, real dad.
00:34:54Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:58Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:01What are you doing here?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:14Get lost.
00:35:15You embarrass us.
00:35:16Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:24Is there a problem?
00:35:25Oh, my God.
00:35:32That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:37If that was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:43Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and head out, because you're starting to make scene.
00:35:50I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:52You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and pipped a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:02That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:08And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This is all I'll stop, what's that?
00:36:15You are revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:19Hey.
00:36:19How are you watching now?
00:36:23Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:29Oh, yeah?
00:36:30What lesson is that, Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:36Hmm.
00:36:37Oh!
00:36:38Oh!
00:36:38Oh!
00:36:38Oh!
00:36:38Oh!
00:36:38Oh!
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:41Oh!
00:36:41Oh!
00:36:41Oh!
00:36:41Oh!
00:36:41Oh!
00:36:42Oh!
00:36:42Oh!
00:36:43Oh!
00:36:43Oh!
00:36:43Oh!
00:36:43Oh!
00:36:44Oh!
00:36:45Oh!
00:36:45Oh!
00:36:45Oh!
00:36:46Oh!
00:36:46Oh!
00:36:47Oh!
00:36:47Oh!
00:36:49What the hell?
00:37:00What happened?
00:37:02Oh my god!
00:37:02Daniel!
00:37:04What the hell happened?
00:37:06Daniel, you're bleeding!
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:09Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:18He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:21Mommy, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No, no, that's not true.
00:37:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:36Daniel, is that true?
00:37:41Sabrina.
00:37:43Oh, yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them is broken.
00:37:49Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:37:55But Daniel.
00:37:59Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:13Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:15I, I have, I have to help Preston.
00:38:34Come on, Jack.
00:38:35Daniel!
00:38:42I got you.
00:38:44Don't let me go.
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:48There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:55Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:07Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:21If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it.
00:39:43Just drive.
00:39:44I used to ache for her approval.
00:40:00Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:06Say that.
00:40:07I know what you did.
00:40:09I'm going to call the doctor, okay?
00:40:11What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:17I think I'll pull through.
00:40:25So what are you doing?
00:40:27I've always wanted to.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:30I know you want this.
00:40:31I see the way you look at me.
00:40:33Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I could finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:41What am I doing?
00:40:51Daniel is still injured.
00:40:53He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Sabrina?
00:40:57Kristen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally...
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:15What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:19Look.
00:41:19I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:28I mean, come on.
00:41:29Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:32Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:34What?
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:41No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:44Where is he?
00:41:45What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:58Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:01Excuse me.
00:42:02Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:05Please.
00:42:05He was the one bleeding out.
00:42:07I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:11He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:12I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:23Please try again later.
00:42:24What have I done?
00:42:37Come on, Daniel.
00:42:39Answer me.
00:42:39He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:58He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:01No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:08He will be back.
00:43:09No.
00:43:11No.
00:43:22No.
00:43:22Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero, got steel, or Jackson.
00:43:27The waves all spousal support.
00:43:30No.
00:43:31No, he can't leave me.
00:43:33He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on him.
00:43:36Come on.
00:43:37All this time, he's going to leave me.
00:43:51No.
00:43:51All this time, he's going to leave me.
00:43:51It can't be.
00:43:53It can't be.
00:44:09It's not her.
00:44:10Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:12He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:18He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:20We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years, everything we've been through.
00:44:25I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go.
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:59No, it's mom.
00:45:00Is everything okay?
00:45:01You sound panicked.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:06Daniel.
00:45:07He just left us.
00:45:10Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him.
00:45:14We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:16Oh, honey.
00:45:18It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:22You knew?
00:45:23I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:34I'm hungry.
00:45:36Dad, breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:40Jackson?
00:45:40I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:50Your dad.
00:45:52He's left us.
00:45:54I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay, he's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01It was so embarrassing.
00:46:03Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:08He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:46:10should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:46:12and raising a young man.
00:46:15He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone.
00:46:19Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:23Jackson.
00:46:24You have a dad.
00:46:26And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:30Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:44I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large thumbs have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:51No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:55I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:59Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:03Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:06Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:12What kind of coward abandons his family, huh?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:18I can't do this anymore.
00:47:21I'll cancel everything.
00:47:22The interviews, the red carpets.
00:47:25I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:30I just want him back.
00:47:32Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:47:35You don't love him anyway.
00:47:37And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:42What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:48Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:52He sees me.
00:47:53He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:01Daniel's my husband.
00:48:03And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice,
00:48:08wanting nothing to do with this child just because I contrahanded?
00:48:10Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:18What are you talking about?
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Forget it.
00:48:23Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:25When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day,
00:48:28you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please.
00:48:33I just want the truth.
00:48:36Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:39I will tell you the truth.
00:48:41But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:47But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:55When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:59I had to save you.
00:49:01She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:02You've always been there for her.
00:49:06From film school to now.
00:49:08I've seen it.
00:49:10She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:15So that she's never alone again.
00:49:17It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:27How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:31You wanted to control me.
00:49:33All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:42You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:45Stop.
00:49:46Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:53I know he told you where he went.
00:49:55Where is he?
00:49:56You can do better than him.
00:49:58You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:50:01Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't.
00:50:07Yes.
00:50:08He is gone.
00:50:09And he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone.
00:50:14He can't.
00:50:15I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of HAL.
00:50:38The silver box that's already generated a considerable buzz for his new writer-director.
00:50:45Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:51Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:58Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speech.
00:51:00Nobody told me how.
00:51:03Oh, man.
00:51:04How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:06I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:08Uh, yeah.
00:51:10God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:13And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:17But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:51:21And I feel like I found my voice.
00:51:23And it really is.
00:51:24Full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:51:30back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:35Get out of the country.
00:51:36If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:47Daniel?
00:52:01He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:04Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius.
00:52:10And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:13That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress
00:52:17and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:21Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:25We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh, my God.
00:52:30Thanks for saying that.
00:52:32She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:34I know.
00:52:34Oh, jeez.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:52:39I can.
00:52:40The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel.
00:52:46Enjoy this.
00:52:48And get used to compliments.
00:52:51There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:55You okay?
00:52:56You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01I'll have it.
00:53:04Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:08It's always just got a headshot.
00:53:11It's always just got a headshot.
00:53:11I feel like I'm trying to do it.
00:53:11I feel like I'm doing it.
