Transcript

00:00:00He used to worship.

00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.

00:00:09That loser actually won an Oscar?

00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.

00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?

00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.

00:00:28Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.

00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.

00:00:41You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.

00:00:47Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.

00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.

00:01:02I'll always love my son.

00:01:03But he's a bully, and he learned to throw the best in the business, his grandmother.

00:01:07You're just a worship, Sabrina. What happened?

00:01:11That was a long time ago.

00:01:12America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.

00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.

00:01:20When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.

00:01:25You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.

00:01:29She needs that now.

00:01:31Stay.

00:01:32Marry her.

00:01:34Love her.

00:01:35So that she doesn't face the world alone.

00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.

00:01:41And I'd cherish her like no other man would.

00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.

00:01:52This was the last one.

00:01:55Mom, Daniel.

00:01:58What's going on?

00:02:02What's going on?

00:02:03Honey!

00:02:06I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.

00:02:10If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.

00:02:13But I need to go.

00:02:15I have an appointment with your child.

00:02:18Think about it, Daniel.

00:02:23Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.

00:02:28Then I will be free.

00:02:30Sabrina, we need to talk.

00:02:32Ugh, can it wait?

00:02:34I'm seriously so spent.

00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.

00:02:41I saw it.

00:02:41Preston was there.

00:02:43I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.

00:02:46I mean, we owe him.

00:02:48Yeah.

00:02:49And then he cheated on you.

00:02:50And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.

00:02:52I'm starving.

00:02:53When are we eating?

00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.

00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.

00:02:59No!

00:03:00I want to eat now!

00:03:01You always know the spot.

00:03:15He doesn't listen.

00:03:16Daniel, please.

00:03:17I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.

00:03:23I got something I need to tell you.

00:03:27I'll make it quick.

00:03:28This isn't easy, but I'm...

00:03:29Ew, what is this?

00:03:31It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.

00:03:33I don't want healthy food.

00:03:34I want chicken nuggets.

00:03:36Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.

00:03:38You can't have that every day.

00:03:40It's not healthy for you.

00:03:41But I want that.

00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.

00:03:47You suck!

00:03:48I want chicken nuggets!

00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!

00:03:59I waited.

00:04:00I gave it everything I had.

00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.

00:04:05And my self-exorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.

00:04:11Enough.

00:04:12Just enough.

00:04:17I want a divorce.

00:04:21I want a divorce.

00:04:27Sabrina, did you hear me?

00:04:30Huh?

00:04:32I want a di...

00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!

00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets!

00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?

00:04:43Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.

00:04:45We'll get you some real food.

00:04:47Seriously, your only job is to take care of the house and the family.

00:04:55I mean, it's not that hard.

00:04:58What is this?

00:05:00Another contract?

00:05:01How big is the role?

00:05:04Who's directing?

00:05:05It's not a...

00:05:06Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.

00:05:08Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.

00:05:11Honestly, I am really at my capacity.

00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.

00:05:20Pull my weight?

00:05:21Yeah, you get it.

00:05:22Okay.

00:05:25Love you.

00:05:26I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.

00:05:29If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.

00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.

00:05:36The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.

00:05:46We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.

00:05:48I can't.

00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.

00:05:51After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.

00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.

00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.

00:06:07Hey, Mom.

00:06:07How you doing?

00:06:08Oh, good, dear.

00:06:10I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.

00:06:14Do you need more?

00:06:15No, no, no, no.

00:06:15You've already done so much.

00:06:18I'm just trying to help.

00:06:19I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.

00:06:24Nikki, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.

00:06:32I am, Mom.

00:06:34And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.

00:06:42That's wonderful, dear.

00:06:43You deserve more than what they put you through.

00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.

00:06:48I gotta go.

00:06:49What is it, Mom?

00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.

00:06:57Our favorite leading man.

00:06:59Come on.

00:06:59Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.

00:07:13Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.

00:07:17All right, cut.

00:07:24That's a wrap, everyone.

00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.

00:07:31Sabrina was the rising star.

00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.

00:07:37Our future's ahead of us.

00:07:39If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.

00:07:44If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.

00:07:44So be who we got her.

00:07:46I hate you.

00:07:54You're just the long way to get her.

00:07:59Oh, my God, no.

00:07:59Oh, my God.

00:08:00Destroy me, Pastor.

00:08:18I'm just at the level.

00:08:30Sabrina, don't!

00:08:36Stay back.

00:08:38I mean it.

00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.

00:08:44Just...

00:08:45Just give me your hand.

00:08:47No!

00:09:00Daniel!

00:09:03I got you.

00:09:04No! Don't let me go!

00:09:07I won't ever let you go.

00:09:14I'm so alone, Daniel.

00:09:18Nobody sees the real people.

00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.

00:09:21I see all of you.

00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.

00:09:34Good to see ya!

00:09:35Oh my gosh, how long has it been?

00:09:37Oh, too long.

00:09:38Look at you!

00:09:39Oh, 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?

00:09:46Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?

00:09:50Oh, there he is!

00:09:52The assistant!

00:09:53I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.

00:09:57How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?

00:10:02Stop!

00:10:02I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into our home.

00:10:09Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.

00:10:13Daniel!

00:10:14Oh.

00:10:14Don't embarrass me.

00:10:15No, it's fine.

00:10:16Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?

00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?

00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.

00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.

00:10:29Now that I'm here will be able to bend some of dad's rules.

00:10:33What are you saying?

00:10:33Huh?

00:10:34Yeah.

00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.

00:10:39It's fine.

00:10:40It's fine.

00:10:42Just relax, okay?

00:10:44Be nice.

00:10:53Some people never change.

00:10:55But 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.

00:11:03But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.

00:11:14Oh, careful.

00:11:16You all right?

00:11:19I'm still starving.

00:11:21Make me some food.

00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.

00:11:25Stew?

00:11:27Ew.

00:11:27What is this, a soup kitchen?

00:11:29I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!

00:11:31Daniel, 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 had.

00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.

00:11:42What?

00:11:43For real?

00:11:44Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.

00:11:48Donovan Cosmetics.

00:11:50I'm rich.

00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.

00:11:56I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.

00:12:00See, Daniel, 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.

00:12:05They were so dull.

00:12:06Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!

00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.

00:12:15So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?

00:12:19My treat.

00:12:20Here we go.

00:12:21What to do?

00:12:22Oh, you don't have to do that.

00:12:24I don't mind.

00:12:25All of you insist.

00:12:26I mean, I'm already dressed.

00:12:28Oh, and I wouldn't invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress come.

00:12:36So, anyways.

00:12:37Oh, Ben, let's go.

00:12:40That's great.

00:12:40Gotcha.

00:12:41There we go.

00:12:42Oh.

00:12:44There's Paps.

00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.

00:12:48Last time.

00:12:49I promise.

00:12:52You're right.

00:12:53It is the last time.

00:12:56Guys.

00:12:58Hi.

00:13:00Yes.

00:13:07Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?

00:13:11Contract sign.

00:13:13It's over.

00:13:15Why 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 there 10 years of heartbreak?

00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with that, but...

00:13:26Why would Celeste invite me here?

00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.

00:13:49Sabrina Donovan?

00:13:53I could scream.

00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.

00:13:56Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.

00:14:00Oh, gee.

00:14:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.

00:14:03The scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.

00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.

00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?

00:14:10Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.

00:14:14All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.

00:14:21Do you mind just giving me a little space?

00:14:24You're not really a part of my brand.

00:14:26Do you bring her?

00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.

00:14:30You get it, right?

00:14:40So, you two are a thing?

00:14:42Well, I...

00:14:43It's okay, babe.

00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.

00:14:45This is so going viral.

00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.

00:14:58It looks like more than dating.

00:15:00Is this your son?

00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.

00:15:05Don't be silly.

00:15:06You 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.

00:15:13But Preston is awesome.

00:15:17He's an action spy.

00:15:18I wish he was my dad.

00:15:21My own son doesn't respect me.

00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants

00:15:26when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty

00:15:29with a call girl.

00:15:31It's okay, buddy.

00:15:31Every spy needs a partner in crime.

00:15:33If you want me around, I'm in.

00:15:37That is if mom schools it.

00:15:39Oh, Preston, I don't know.

00:15:40Daniel, he, you know, he's...

00:15:42Preston, what are you doing?

00:15:47Come on.

00:15:48Let's go Michelle.

00:15:49Now that's a Hollywood couple.

00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake.

00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top,

00:16:14and you will end up with nothing.

00:16:16Daniel!

00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.

00:16:23On the sound of it,

00:16:24your own son doesn't even want to be around you.

00:16:27Daniel, he's here.

00:16:29Did he see us?

00:16:30Is he looking over here?

00:16:31Fuck, that's not good.

00:16:32I was just doing that for policy.

00:16:34I didn't mean for him to see us.

00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.

00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture,

00:16:39Sabrina and her money are all mine.

00:16:41Who cares about him, mommy?

00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.

00:16:45Jackson, enough.

00:16:48What do I do?

00:16:49Well, that's it then.

00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.

00:16:53You need to leverage your relationship with Preston,

00:16:55with the tabloids.

00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.

00:17:00You're really good at that.

00:17:01Oh, I have a parting gift for you.

00:17:06A one-way ticket,

00:17:08so you can get as far away from this family as possible.

00:17:12I know the contract is over,

00:17:13but 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.

00:17:22This is Hollywood.

00:17:23It's just part of the job.

00:17:24Daniel, I can explain.

00:17:33Daniel, what is this?

00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.

00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her canceled.

00:17:42Are you going somewhere?

00:17:44Honey,

00:17:45Oh, what a coincidence.

00:17:47We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.

00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?

00:17:52A vacation?

00:17:53Final.

00:17:54You're paying attention.

00:17:56Yeah.

00:17:57I'm going to leave in a few days.

00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.

00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?

00:18:03Without 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.

00:18:09It's fine.

00:18:10Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.

00:18:13Just like any good husband would.

00:18:15Oh, look at how you see.

00:18:17Is it me?

00:18:18Is my presence hurting your ego?

00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.

00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.

00:18:24You know what?

00:18:25Maybe I should go.

00:18:26I don't want to get between the two of you.

00:18:28No, please stay.

00:18:29I 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.

00:18:37Going to dance this soon.

00:18:39Daniel, wait.

00:18:41I won't ever let you go.

00:18:43He won't leave.

00:18:44He promised.

00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.

00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...

00:18:50I'm going to go back.

00:18:55Daniel!

00:18:56Oh, good.

00:19:08You're up.

00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.

00:19:15It was fun.

00:19:15Don't look at me like that.

00:19:18I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.

00:19:21Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.

00:19:26How lucky for him.

00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.

00:19:29Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.

00:19:34Listen, Matt, I...

00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.

00:19:40You can trust me.

00:19:42Uh, Preston, I think you're...

00:19:45Mm-mm.

00:19:46You need to go right now.

00:19:47All right.

00:19:48Oh, man.

00:19:50Daniel, seriously, listen, man.

00:19:52I...

00:19:53I...

00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.

00:19:58I'm going to be the best man of the house.

00:20:02Just 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.

00:20:08Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.

00:20:10Jealous?

00:20:12Yeah.

00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?

00:20:16Whatever, I'm going to bed.

00:20:20You know, I don't think I should be alone.

00:20:27That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.

00:20:33Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?

00:20:39God.

00:20:41God, you're unbelievable.

00:20:46Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?

00:20:50No, it's not like that.

00:20:52I...

00:20:52What?

00:20:55You know what?

00:20:56Fine.

00:20:59You two look great together.

00:21:00Daniel, I...

00:21:02And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.

00:21:17I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.

00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.

00:21:34I was never the homemaker.

00:21:40Please, Daniel.

00:21:41Daniel.

00:21:43Daniel.

00:21:45Daniel.

00:21:47I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.

00:22:00If you're sick, can you go in the other room?

00:22:03I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.

00:22:06Look at her now, playing house for another man.

00:22:21If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.

00:22:26There he is.

00:22:45God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.

00:22:48Man.

00:22:49No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.

00:22:51Life of an A-lister, I guess.

00:22:53Hmm.

00:22:54Hmm.

00:22:55Hmm.

00:22:56Got some.

00:22:57Yeah.

00:22:58What do you mean?

00:22:59Oh, oh.

00:23:00Yeah, there you go.

00:23:01I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'll like it.

00:23:04Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.

00:23:06Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.

00:23:08Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?

00:23:18No?

00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?

00:23:21Why would I be threatened by that?

00:23:27It's finally time to make this hack disappear.

00:23:40What's wrong, Jackson?

00:23:42Mr. Eastwood, I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me, and it's unfair.

00:23:48That's a shame, huh?

00:23:49You know what?

00:23:50Let me grab it for you, little man.

00:23:51Here we go.

00:23:52Ooh.

00:23:53No, it's not to play with that.

00:23:58You never let me do anything!

00:24:01Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.

00:24:04You guys can afford an aquarium.

00:24:06It's not about the money.

00:24:07It's about him learning how to respect living things.

00:24:10Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.

00:24:14Yeah?

00:24:15What's that supposed to mean?

00:24:18You're so annoying!

00:24:20Don't push.

00:24:27I said don't push. Go 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 servant like you.

00:24:35God, what the hell?

00:24:36You just shot me.

00:24:37Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.

00:24:42He's not your kid.

00:24:44I wish I was!

00:24:46I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever!

00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face!

00:24:51Ouch!

00:24:52I mean, you just hurt your son.

00:24:54So why don't you make this little vacay yours?

00:24:57Maybe it will be.

00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.

00:25:02You?

00:25:03Man of the house? Please.

00:25:05You're a pussy in an apron.

00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.

00:25:11And you're washed a pack!

00:25:12Still riding on all your old headlines.

00:25:14How are your latest box office numbers, son?

00:25:16I heard your agent's begging for scraps.

00:25:18I'm a fucking star!

00:25:20A star?

00:25:21A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.

00:25:25Jackson, come on.

00:25:26I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.

00:25:28No, I'm not going!

00:25:29Preston's way cooler than you!

00:25:31Preston, Preston, Preston!

00:25:46You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.

00:26:01What was that?

00:26:09Daniel!

00:26:10What is happening?

00:26:12It was Dad, Mom!

00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!

00:26:15What?

00:26:16You're so scared!

00:26:17That'd be pretty good, babe.

00:26:18What the hell, Daniel?

00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.

00:26:21I came in looking for a fight.

00:26:22What?

00:26:23I didn't?

00:26:24Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?

00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child!

00:26:28I thought you were bigger than this petty shit!

00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me!

00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank!

00:26:33Bro, I'm up!

00:26:34Remember where in the public eye?

00:26:36What if your little outburst was caught by the press?

00:26:39What, everyone knows your precious press had attacked me?

00:26:42I think I should go.

00:26:43I'm sorry.

00:26:44No!

00:26:45Oh, my God!

00:26:46He's lying!

00:26:47You're a monster!

00:26:48And in front of your son?

00:26:49You have to be kidding!

00:26:50We have to get you to the hospital.

00:26:51Sure.

00:26:52We'll talk about this when I get home.

00:26:53Come on.

00:26:54Clean this up!

00:26:55Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.

00:27:08She's mine now, loser.

00:27:11Hello?

00:27:12Thank you, my mother.

00:27:13What's your emergency?

00:27:14I'm bleeding out.

00:27:15I think I hit an artery.

00:27:16I need an ambulance.

00:27:18Now.

00:27:19Now.

00:27:20Now.

00:27:22You did lose a lot of blood.

00:27:26So we're going to go.

00:27:39You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.

00:27:44To be honest, that's... I could use it right from home.

00:27:47Trouble with the missus?

00:27:50Uh, yeah. It's pretty obvious.

00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.

00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.

00:28:02We see Preston 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, a couple?

00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!

00:28:19She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.

00:28:24She was so sweet.

00:28:29Need us to check on that shoulder for you?

00:28:32No, it's... it's my wound.

00:28:35I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.

00:28:40Daniel!

00:28:42Sweet and caring.

00:28:45So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.

00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it.

00:28:50And left me to pick up the pieces.

00:28:52Fuck you!

00:28:58Fuck you!

00:29:00I'm gonna get my shit in, y'all.

00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.

00:29:06You once liked my short film.

00:29:07I have a script I've been sitting on.

00:29:09It needs the right producer.

00:29:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.

00:29:24Where have you been?

00:29:26I kept calling.

00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.

00:29:30Huh?

00:29:35What?

00:29:35I've been busy.

00:29:36I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.

00:29:38Uh, seriously?

00:29:40Why does it always have to come back to him?

00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.

00:29:46Yeah.

00:29:48That's what you want to call it?

00:29:50I...

00:29:50I just...

00:29:52I'm sorry.

00:29:54I...

00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.

00:30:02It is what it is.

00:30:03But I mean...

00:30:05You know how the industry works.

00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.

00:30:12And I think you should go for it.

00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career.

00:30:17But...

00:30:18I just...

00:30:18I don't want you to be upset with me.

00:30:24Seriously.

00:30:25I...

00:30:26I care about you.

00:30:31I'm not mad.

00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.

00:30:35I know when you're angry.

00:30:37Really?

00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.

00:30:40I pay attention?

00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?

00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.

00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her.

00:30:50A headline.

00:30:50A 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.

00:31:06We could revisit your script.

00:31:11I gave that to you three years ago.

00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?

00:31:16Well, yeah.

00:31:17The first ten pages.

00:31:19But they're good.

00:31:20The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.

00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.

00:31:25Me and you.

00:31:26The lead actress and the writer-director.

00:31:30I gave up on that dream of us working together.

00:31:35A long time ago.

00:31:36Well, how about you make us some lattes?

00:31:39And for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.

00:31:43Just like we used to in film school.

00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.

00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.

00:31:52Now 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.

00:32:17Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and 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.

00:32:26I'm not going to always be here to make it.

00:32:32I knew it.

00:32:34If you are mad that I brought Preston back here, I 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.

00:32:49It's good to know where you stand.

00:32:51No, Daniel.

00:32:52No, that's not what I meant.

00:33:00Look what you made me do.

00:33:02Just leave it.

00:33:05I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.

00:33:09And what?

00:33:10It would make up for all the years of indifference?

00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.

00:33:14And look what I get for it.

00:33:16You know what?

00:33:18Forget it.

00:33:19I have a mirror.

00:33:20Let's just talk about this tomorrow.

00:33:36What?

00:33:37Is that how you talked to your mother-in-law?

00:33:40Yeah, ex-mother-in-law.

00:33:41Not quite.

00:33:42That was the divorce contract.

00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.

00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.

00:33:50Remember that.

00:33:51I'll text you the address of where to meet me.

00:34:04I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.

00:34:09Oh, please.

00:34:10She's always been so secretive.

00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?

00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.

00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.

00:34:24Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.

00:34:28Come here.

00:34:32Jackson!

00:34:32Listen, we were just talking about your mom.

00:34:35Do you know where she is?

00:34:37Or who she's with?

00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.

00:34:40He's been staying with us.

00:34:43Really?

00:34:44Do 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.

00:34:53Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.

00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.

00:35:06What are you doing here?

00:35:08You never come to these things.

00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.

00:35:11Get lost!

00:35:14You embarrass us!

00:35:15Jackson, 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?

00:35:30Oh, my God.

00:35:31That's Preston Eastwood.

00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flat over Preston?

00:35:36If there was a problem, that's none of your business.

00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.

00:35:40You're a pathetic loser!

00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.

00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and pat out because we're starting to make a scene.

00:35:49I'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 pit a fight with an A-lister.

00:36:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.

00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.

00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.

00:36:12This was all stuff, wasn't it?

00:36:14You were revolting.

00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.

00:36:18Hey.

00:36:20How do you watch her now?

00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.

00:36:26Yeah.

00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.

00:36:28Oh, yeah?

00:36:29What lesson's that, Preston?

00:36:30You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?

00:36:35Hmm.

00:36:39Oh!

00:36:40What the hell?

00:36:59What happened?

00:37:01Oh, my God!

00:37:02Daniel!

00:37:03What the hell happened?

00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.

00:37:07Are you okay?

00:37:08Look 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.

00:37:17He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.

00:37:20Mommy!

00:37:21Dad came in here and started shouting at me.

00:37:24No.

00:37:25No, that's not true.

00:37:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.

00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?

00:37:35Daniel.

00:37:37Is that true?

00:37:38Sabrina.

00:37:40Sabrina.

00:37:42Oh!

00:37:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.

00:37:47I think one of them's broken.

00:37:49Sabrina.

00:37:50Honey.

00:37:51We need to help Preston.

00:37:55But Daniel.

00:37:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.

00:38:01Eastwood.

00:38:13Mommy, please.

00:38:14We can't leave him.

00:38:15I...

00:38:16I have...

00:38:17I have to help Preston.

00:38:23I...

00:38:24I...

00:38:25I...

00:38:26I...

00:38:27I...

00:38:28I...

00:38:30I...

00:38:32I...

00:38:33I...

00:38:33��куh.

00:38:41Daniel!

00:38:42I got you.

00:38:43No let me go!

00:38:45She's made her choice.

00:38:47There's no going back.

00:38:48We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to

00:38:51after all these years of me slaving for her.

00:39:01Well, that went even better than I planned.

00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.

00:39:08I 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.

00:39:16In fact, get out of the country.

00:39:20If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,

00:39:25I will make your life a living hell.

00:39:41Don't worry about it. Just try.

00:39:46I used to beg for her approval.

00:39:59Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.

00:40:04Seriously?

00:40:05Stay down.

00:40:06I know.

00:40:07I'm going to call the doctor, okay?

00:40:11What are you doing?

00:40:15I thought you were hurt.

00:40:16I think I'll pull through.

00:40:24So what are you doing?

00:40:26I've always wanted to.

00:40:28Come on.

00:40:29I know you want this.

00:40:30I see the way you look at me.

00:40:32Now that Daniel's gone,

00:40:34we have the house to ourself.

00:40:35I can finally have you in this bedroom.

00:40:48What am I doing?

00:40:50Daniel is still injured.

00:40:52He should be home.

00:40:56Sabrina?

00:40:56Kristen, get off.

00:41:10What?

00:41:11Babe, we can finally come on.

00:41:13I said get off.

00:41:14What?

00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.

00:41:17No, forget about him.

00:41:18Look, I love Jackson,

00:41:21and I'm ready to be the man

00:41:22that you've always wanted.

00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad

00:41:26to that little boy.

00:41:27I mean, come on.

00:41:28Sabrina, your son,

00:41:30your mother,

00:41:31even Daniel is pushing us together.

00:41:35Look,

00:41:36he's already moved on.

00:41:40No.

00:41:41What have I done?

00:41:43Where is he?

00:41:44What about me?

00:41:46You had your chance

00:41:47ten years ago.

00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.

00:41:51Hello?

00:41:58Excuse me.

00:42:00Excuse me.

00:42:01Hi.

00:42:02Have you seen my husband?

00:42:04Please,

00:42:05he was the one bleeding out.

00:42:06I saw him stumble outside

00:42:08holding his head

00:42:08after he spoke to some older woman.

00:42:10He didn't come back in, though.

00:42:16Captain,

00:42:17where are you?

00:42:18I'm sorry,

00:42:19but the number you are trying to reach

00:42:20is no longer in service.

00:42:22Please try again later.

00:42:23What have I done?

00:42:36Come on, Daniel.

00:42:38Answer me.

00:42:39Answer me.

00:42:39He's not gone.

00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.

00:42:57He loves me too much

00:42:59to abandon me

00:43:00when I need him the most.

00:43:01No.

00:43:02It's not possible.

00:43:07He will be back.

00:43:10No.

00:43:11No.

00:43:21Wait, it's all the assets.

00:43:24Climb zero,

00:43:25Castillo,

00:43:25Jackson.

00:43:26The waves,

00:43:27all spousal support.

00:43:28No.

00:43:29No.

00:43:30No.

00:43:30He can't leave me.

00:43:32He can't do this to me.

00:43:34I won't sign off on him.

00:43:45No.

00:43:46All this time,

00:43:48he's gonna leave me?

00:43:50No.

00:43:51No.

00:43:52No.

00:43:53No.

00:43:54No.

00:43:55No.

00:43:56No.

00:43:57It can't be.

00:44:08It's not us.

00:44:09Honestly,

00:44:10it doesn't matter.

00:44:10My mom will look it over anyways.

00:44:13He loves me.

00:44:15He loves Jackson.

00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.

00:44:19We're his family.

00:44:21After all these years,

00:44:23everything we've been through.

00:44:24I got you.

00:44:48Don't let me go.

00:44:49Was I ever really paying attention?

00:44:57Daniel?

00:44:58No, it's mom.

00:44:59Is everything okay?

00:45:01He's not paying attention.

00:45:01Mom.

00:45:04Mom.

00:45:05Daniel.

00:45:07He just left us.

00:45:10Do you know where he is?

00:45:12We have to find him.

00:45:13We can check the hospital or the...

00:45:15Oh, honey.

00:45:17It's over.

00:45:18Daniel's not coming back.

00:45:21You knew?

00:45:22I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.

00:45:33I'm hungry!

00:45:35Dad!

00:45:36Breakfast should be ready by now.

00:45:39Jackson?

00:45:40Jackson?

00:45:40I have something to tell you.

00:45:46Your dad.

00:45:49Your dad.

00:45:51He's left us.

00:45:53I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.

00:45:56Yay!

00:45:56He's gone!

00:45:57He's gone!

00:45:59Why would you say that?

00:46:01It was so embarrassing.

00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood...

00:46:03Mr. Eastwood?

00:46:05What did Preston say?

00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.

00:46:14He was so lame and boring.

00:46:17Now he's gone!

00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.

00:46:21He can be my new dad.

00:46:22Jackson!

00:46:23You have a dad.

00:46:25And he's cared for you for seven years.

00:46:27Yeah, but I hate him!

00:46:36Hello?

00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?

00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.

00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.

00:46:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.

00:46:45Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.

00:46:49Was that done with your approval?

00:46:50No.

00:46:51But I'm not surprised.

00:46:53Flag his name.

00:46:54I want him frozen and cut off.

00:46:58Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.

00:47:02Okay?

00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.

00:47:05Your 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?

00:47:15Huh?

00:47:16It's despicable.

00:47:17I can't do this anymore.

00:47:19I'll cancel everything.

00:47:22The interviews and the red carpets.

00:47:24I don't want to be seen.

00:47:26I can't pretend.

00:47:29I just want him back.

00:47:31Honey, 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.

00:47:44What?

00:47:44How could you say something like that?

00:47:47Of course I love Daniel.

00:47:50He cares for me.

00:47:51He sees me.

00:47:52He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.

00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.

00:48:00Daniel's my husband.

00:48:02And the father of my son.

00:48:03Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice,

00:48:07wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?

00:48:10Contract?

00:48:13What contract?

00:48:18What are you talking about?

00:48:20Forget it.

00:48:21Forget it.

00:48:22Just pretend I didn't say anything.

00:48:24When 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.

00:48:35Mom.

00:48:37Fine.

00:48:38I will tell you the truth.

00:48:40But promise me you won't get mad.

00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.

00:48:48But know it was all for your own good.

00:48:54When Preston left you, you were distraught.

00:48:58I had to save you.

00:48:59She's lost without you, Daniel.

00:49:04You've always been there for her.

00:49:06From film school to now.

00:49:07I've seen it.

00:49:09She needs you.

00:49:11Stay.

00:49:12Marry her.

00:49:13Love her.

00:49:14So that she's never alone again.

00:49:16It was all just some sort of obligation?

00:49:26How could you do this to me?

00:49:28I wanted to protect you.

00:49:30You wanted to control me.

00:49:32All because you needed me for my career, my money.

00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?

00:49:37You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.

00:49:45Daniel did what he was meant to do.

00:49:48He kept you together.

00:49:49Where?

00:49:51Where did he go?

00:49:52I know he told you where he went.

00:49:54Where is he?

00:49:55You can do better than him.

00:49:57You are Sabrina Donovan.

00:50:00Hollywood starlet.

00:50:01Believe me, it's for the best.

00:50:04No.

00:50:05He can't be gone.

00:50:06He can't.

00:50:07Yes.

00:50:07He is gone.

00:50:08And he is gone forever.

00:50:10He can't be.

00:50:12He can't be gone.

00:50:13He can't.

00:50:14I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of how The Tame Silver Fox has already generated

00:50:39a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.

00:50:44Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.

00:50:50Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?

00:50:57Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own feet.

00:51:01Nobody told me how.

00:51:02Oh, man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.

00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.

00:51:08Yeah.

00:51:09God, my career has been a long time in the making.

00:51:12And 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.

00:51:20And I feel like I found my voice.

00:51:22And it really is full steam ahead.

00:51:25Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way

00:51:29back to Hollywood?

00:51:32Hollywood.

00:51:33Get out of the country.

00:51:35If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.

00:51:46Daniel?

00:51:46He'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, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.

00:52:11That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning

00:52:16actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

00:52:20Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.

00:52:24We'll never tell.

00:52:25She was practically eye-fucking you.

00:52:33I know.

00:52:34Jeez.

00:52:35This is so surreal.

00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.

00:52:38I can.

00:52:39The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.

00:52:44Daniel.

00:52:46Enjoy this.

00:52:48And get used to compliments.

00:52:50There's already asked of us.

00:52:52Fuck.

00:52:53Finish me, I know.

00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.

00:52:55You okay?

00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.

00:53:01I know it's, um, I'll have it.

00:53:04Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.

00:53:09Silver's just got a head start.

00:53:22I know.

00:53:24Our press is good press.

00:53:25Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning

00:53:36bitch?

00:53:38He can't do this to me!

00:53:40Sabrina.

00:53:41You don't need him.

00:53:42Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.

00:53:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?

00:53:47Move on?

00:53:48Please, honey.

00:53:49Please, honey.

00:53:50He is using her.

00:53:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?

00:53:55He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.

00:53:58How could you say that?

00:53:59I mean, I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.

00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world.

00:54:06Don't you see it?

00:54:07Sabrina.

00:54:07Look at what you've got.

00:54:10A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.

00:54:16Melanie's not whining.

00:54:17And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.

00:54:21You have everything.

00:54:23I don't have him.

00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.

00:54:27Go have the chef make something.

00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.

00:54:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?

00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.

00:54:36He's your dad.

00:54:37No, Preston is my real dad now.

00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.

00:54:43It was fun telling him what to do.

00:54:45When did he get so cruel?

00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.

00:54:52A doormat.

00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.

00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.

00:54:57Enough, you little shit.

00:55:01Enough.

00:55:02Just enough.

00:55:04Sabrina?

00:55:05What's gotten into you?

00:55:06Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.

00:55:10Whoa.

00:55:12What's going on here?

00:55:13This room feels really tense.

00:55:14Mom just yelled at me for no reason.

00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.

00:55:18No.

00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.

00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.

00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.

00:55:32Hey, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?

00:55:36Making fun of that fucking loser?

00:55:37Really?

00:55:38Loser?

00:55:39Yeah.

00:55:40You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.

00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.

00:55:48That's really, really low.

00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.

00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.

00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.

00:56:05Face it, Preston.

00:56:06You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.

00:56:09And you're a fucking thief.

00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.

00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.

00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.

00:56:20Because you know what?

00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.

00:56:22It's not like that.

00:56:24Okay?

00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.

00:56:27I don't want to marry you.

00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.

00:56:31What's my birthday?

00:56:33Huh?

00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?

00:56:36What's my favorite color?

00:56:37My favorite song?

00:56:38Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?

00:56:41Oh, oh wait.

00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?

00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.

00:56:47You don't love me.

00:56:48You don't even know me.

00:56:50This isn't a relationship.

00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.

00:56:54And you know what?

00:56:56I'm done.

00:56:57Get out!

00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.

00:57:00We're over.

00:57:02We're over.

00:57:03No, babe, babe, come on.

00:57:05Please, please, I love you.

00:57:06Just, just think about it.

00:57:08Look at the press, what this will look like.

00:57:10If I have to call my security,

00:57:13all of this will get a lot of weird.

00:57:15Get out.

00:57:16Babe, just...

00:57:16Now!

00:57:17Just give me your hand.

00:57:18Come on.

00:57:19No.

00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.

00:57:23Nobody sees the real people.

00:57:24I see you, Sabrina.

00:57:25I see all of you.

00:57:29And you're never...

00:57:30I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.

00:57:33We'll never tell.

00:57:34Oh my god, thank you.

00:57:39You're not.

00:57:40He truly loved me.

00:57:42I know.

00:57:43Jeez.

00:57:44This is so surreal.

00:57:45I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.

00:57:47I can.

00:57:48The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.

00:57:53Daniel.

00:57:55Enjoy this.

00:57:56And get used to compliments.

00:57:59There's already Oscar buzz.

00:58:01Fuck.

00:58:02Finish me, I know.

00:58:03I feel like I'm dreaming.

00:58:06You okay?

00:58:08You're the sexiest man alive.

00:58:10Is that all you care about?

00:58:11I'll have it.

00:58:12Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.

00:58:18So that's just got a head start.

00:58:31I think...

00:58:32That press is good press.

00:58:34You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.

00:58:46I'm kind of in shock right now.

00:58:48In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.

00:58:54I mean, you know this.

00:58:55You're a legend.

00:58:57I appreciate it, Daniel.

00:58:58All right, let me cut to the chase.

00:59:00You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.

00:59:02I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.

00:59:05I got projects.

00:59:05Come on.

00:59:06You're built for billion-dollar franchises.

00:59:09Hollywood blockbusters.

00:59:10The one that gets made in L.A., not London.

00:59:12That's where you belong.

00:59:15To be honest, I already did L.A.

00:59:17It didn't really end well.

00:59:19Let me guess.

00:59:20My girl?

00:59:21If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.

00:59:26You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.

00:59:28You can become a household name, and I can get you there.

00:59:33You're giving me a lot to think about.

00:59:34Three-picture deal.

00:59:36Two hundred million dollar budget each.

00:59:37Creative control and final cut approval.

00:59:40I don't know what to say.

00:59:41Just say yes.

00:59:42You have my number.

00:59:44Just don't keep me waiting.

00:59:46Just remember, Daniel.

00:59:47You can't run away from the past.

00:59:49You have to face it and tell the fuck off.

00:59:51Hey, it's been a while.

01:00:05Can we talk?

01:00:07Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?

01:00:11Of course.

01:00:12It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.

01:00:17Is this a personal story where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?

01:00:22Oh.

01:00:25She knows who she is.

01:00:27I'll leave it at that.

01:00:31You arrogant little shit.

01:00:34I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.

01:00:38It's less, Donovan.

01:00:45I need a favor.

01:00:46I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.

01:00:52It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.

01:00:57Mom?

01:00:58What are you doing?

01:01:02Did you just break my TV?

01:01:04Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?

01:01:07You know, I'm not supposed to do that.

01:01:10You've been so kind, though.

01:01:11It's called, You Drive Me Crazy.

01:01:16He's back.

01:01:18Why didn't you tell me?

01:01:20Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.

01:01:23I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.

01:01:26I need to get on that movie.

01:01:28Absolutely not.

01:01:29You're not working for your ex-husband.

01:01:31If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.

01:01:34Honey, I'm just looking out for you.

01:01:37He still loves me.

01:01:40He has to.

01:01:42I just need to talk to him.

01:01:44Let him go.

01:01:48Mom.

01:01:50Honey, I...

01:01:52You know I just want what's best for you, right?

01:01:55I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.

01:02:00I love you.

01:02:02I love you, too.

01:02:06Here we go.

01:02:08This is, um...

01:02:10It's another movie deal.

01:02:11I'll tell you about it after.

01:02:13Okay.

01:02:13Did you get his location?

01:02:31The Oaks.

01:02:328 p.m.

01:02:34After I'm done with him,

01:02:35Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.

01:02:38He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.

01:02:41She's not protecting me.

01:02:52She's protecting her business.

01:02:54And I'm just a pawn.

01:02:56But if she wants a scandal,

01:02:58she'll get one.

01:02:59It's so nice having you back.

01:03:03And I don't just mean from the UK.

01:03:05Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?

01:03:07A couple?

01:03:09Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.

01:03:13If you can even call them that.

01:03:14You're healthy now.

01:03:15And I'm at the top of my career.

01:03:17I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...

01:03:19I love Sabrina,

01:03:20but I really thought I could make it work.

01:03:23The marriage, the kids.

01:03:24I mean, we really tried.

01:03:26I thought I could make it go for it,

01:03:28but, um...

01:03:30It's over.

01:03:32It's over.

01:03:33I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy

01:03:35she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.

01:03:36Oh, you haven't heard?

01:03:48She dumped him.

01:03:49It was all over People Magazine.

01:03:51She ended it when his star faded.

01:03:55Oh my gosh, it was.

01:04:02Daniel!

01:04:05Stop!

01:04:06Sabrina, what are you doing here?

01:04:15I'm here to help you.

01:04:17Sabrina,

01:04:18we are making a scene.

01:04:20Let's go home.

01:04:21Sabrina?

01:04:22How could you?

01:04:23What?

01:04:23I just came to ask Daniel

01:04:25if he'd let you audition,

01:04:26but he said no.

01:04:27I begged and pleaded.

01:04:29Stop lying.

01:04:31I saw you bribe the waiter

01:04:32to drug Daniel's drink.

01:04:34And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too,

01:04:37to catch him drugged out of his mind

01:04:39and ruin him.

01:04:40My God.

01:04:41You're disgusting.

01:04:42I'm a manager, Daniel.

01:04:44Not anymore.

01:04:45Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?

01:04:50I don't even know who you are anymore.

01:04:53I'm your mother.

01:04:55I only want what's best for you.

01:04:59What's best for me?

01:05:02You've been controlling my life

01:05:04ever since you knew you could profit from it.

01:05:07That all ends today.

01:05:12You're fired.

01:05:14Fired.

01:05:15No.

01:05:19No.

01:05:24No.

01:05:25You can't do this to me.

01:05:27Please.

01:05:27Please, sweetie.

01:05:28I have dedicated my life to you.

01:05:30You dedicated your life to money

01:05:32and to fame.

01:05:35I was just who you used to get to it.

01:05:37You think you can survive on sheer talent?

01:05:40There's a thousand girls more talented

01:05:42than you waiting for their shot.

01:05:44I made you.

01:05:45You'd be nothing without me.

01:05:50I think she'll do just fine.

01:05:58We're done here, Mom.

01:06:00If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life

01:06:03or in mine,

01:06:06you'll leave now.

01:06:08Without another word.

01:06:14I have something to say.

01:06:24I'm sorry, Daniel.

01:06:26I'm sorry I took you for granted

01:06:28all of those years.

01:06:30I'm sorry I let my mom

01:06:32manipulate and use you.

01:06:34I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home

01:06:38and poisoned our son towards you.

01:06:44Apologize to your father.

01:06:46Do I have to?

01:06:47Who raised you?

01:06:50Cared for you?

01:06:53Packed your lunches when I was on set?

01:06:56Laid with you when you had nightmares

01:06:58and coddled you when you were sick.

01:07:00He did.

01:07:02He loved you.

01:07:03But you treated him like he was nothing.

01:07:05I was wrong.

01:07:07Jackson,

01:07:08he gave us ten years of his life

01:07:10and we abused it.

01:07:12And now there is

01:07:13nothing we can do to take that back.

01:07:15I'm sorry, Dad.

01:07:21It's going to be okay, son.

01:07:23I love you.

01:07:24Okay.

01:07:25Come on, Jackson.

01:07:26Let's go.

01:07:33I'm sorry, Daniel.

01:07:36For everything.

01:07:37Okay.

01:07:37I know that look, Daniel.

01:07:49You're thinking of going back to them.

01:07:51No.

01:07:53I just didn't know it would be this hard.

01:07:56They hurt you, Daniel.

01:07:59They tore you to pieces

01:08:00and then just expected you to come running back.

01:08:06People can change.

01:08:07But that doesn't change the past.

01:08:14And the Oscar goes to

01:08:16Daniel Johnson

01:08:17for his original screenplay,

01:08:19Loving Her.

01:08:22Daniel!

01:08:23Daniel!

01:08:24I'm here, Daniel!

01:08:25Daniel, is it true

01:08:26that the script that won you Oscars

01:08:28for both writing and directing

01:08:29sat on a shelf for ten years?

01:08:31Yes.

01:08:32I'll admit I got a little sidelined,

01:08:34but I think I found my way back.

01:08:37But, okay, I'll tell you this.

01:08:41I don't think you can truly love someone else

01:08:44until

01:08:45you love yourself.

01:08:51Way to go, John!

01:08:52Thank you so much for considering me for this part.

01:09:14We'll keep in touch.

01:09:21What do we have today?

01:09:2340, sir.

01:09:24Jeez.

01:09:25Hey, boy!

01:09:26How are we looking?

01:09:27Still big in it.

01:09:28Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.

01:09:31I mean, this film lives or dies

01:09:34by a female lead.

01:09:36All right, here's the deal.

01:09:37The studio's on my ass

01:09:38looking to lock in the lead today.

01:09:41Today?

01:09:42Are you fucking kidding me?

01:09:43That's why I love you, man.

01:09:44Cool under pressure.

01:09:46This movie

01:09:46is gonna blow

01:09:48the roof off.

01:09:52Oh, my God.

01:09:53All right, just bring in the next one.

01:09:54Ah!

01:09:55But that would be

01:09:56Emily Blake.

01:10:01Emily.

01:10:05Emily.

01:10:07Amazing, as always.

01:10:08You flew in all the way

01:10:11from London for this?

01:10:12Please.

01:10:14I was gonna miss a shot

01:10:15to audition for the great

01:10:16Daniel Johnson.

01:10:18How's L.A. treating you?

01:10:20Oh, my God.

01:10:21Less tea,

01:10:22but way more traffic.

01:10:24But I am...

01:10:26I'm glad to be back.

01:10:28Well, it's not English countryside.

01:10:29Yeah.

01:10:30But it suits you.

01:10:33You definitely belong here.

01:10:36I do miss you, though.

01:10:40It was fun.

01:10:41Playing the part.

01:10:43British starlet.

01:10:44American director.

01:10:46I kept waiting for us

01:10:48to become something real.

01:10:51Waiting for us

01:10:52to become something real.

01:10:54I'm sorry, Emily.

01:10:56It just cost me,

01:10:57and we'll call it even.

01:10:59You...

01:11:00You were amazing,

01:11:01as always.

01:11:02It's just...

01:11:04It's just not quite

01:11:06what I'm looking for.

01:11:08I never was, was I?

01:11:11Anyways...

01:11:11Got a few more auditions

01:11:13while I'm in town.

01:11:15Maybe I'll see you around?

01:11:18Yeah.

01:11:18Give me a copy,

01:11:31and you know what?

01:11:32Go get one for yourself, too.

01:11:35And be generous

01:11:36with the sugar.

01:11:42Oh, my God.

01:11:43What am I going to do?

01:11:51That was quick.

01:12:02What are you doing here?

01:12:03I came to audition.

01:12:09Did you bring any representation?

01:12:11No.

01:12:12I fired my manager, remember?

01:12:15I need you.

01:12:15You'd be nothing without me.

01:12:17I'm going to do it, too.

01:12:20I'm going to do it, too.

01:12:21I'm going to do it, too.

01:12:24Don't let me go!

01:12:26I got you.

01:12:27I'll never let you go.

01:12:31Are you okay?

01:12:32Yeah.

01:12:32It's an old wound that, um...

01:12:35never really healed.

01:12:38I understand.

01:12:39Daniel Johnson.

01:12:46Nice to meet you.

01:12:50Please.

01:12:59Now, are you ready?

01:13:00I'm ready.

01:13:09Come and find me.
