00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:10That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:18Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:24Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:30Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:37Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:42You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:48Our 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.
00:01:00I'll always love my son.
00:01:04But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:08You're just a worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:17All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:26You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now.
00:01:32Stay. Marry 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.
00:01:42And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:46If 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.
00:01:53Mom, Daniel.
00:01:59What's going on?
00:02:03What's going on?
00:02:05Honey!
00:02:06I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:11If the paparazzi catch him next to you, lol.
00:02:14But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:19Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:23Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:31Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:33Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:37I had the photo shoot, and fitting, and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:49Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:53I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No! I want to eat now!
00:03:02You always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I 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. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:30Ew, what is this?
00:03:32It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:34I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:39You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:42But I want that.
00:03:44Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:04:04But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:06And myself as a wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:12Enough. Just enough.
00:04:14I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:28Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:31Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:36I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:44Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:52Seriously?
00:04:53Your only job is to take care of the house as a family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:06It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:08It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:12Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:18And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:22Yeah, you get it.
00:05:25Mwah!
00:05:26Love you.
00:05:27I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33And just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:44The movie's green, Link.
00:05:45And the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:47We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After 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.
00:06:08How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:09I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:15Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:19I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:21But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:25I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, Mom.
00:06:35And I promise very soon everything's going to change.
00:06:42You're wonderful, dear.
00:06:44You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, Mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:02Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:23All right, cut.
00:07:25That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:28We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:30Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:34I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:38Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:45We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:45We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:46We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:47We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:48We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:49We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:50We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:51We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:52We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:53We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:54We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:55We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:56We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:57We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:58We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:59Destroy me.
00:08:18Rest in something love.
00:08:29Sabrina, don't!
00:08:37Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:40Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:45Just...
00:08:45Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:05No!
00:09:06Don't let me go!
00:09:08I won't ever let you go.
00:09:15I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:22I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:29Good to see you!
00:09:36Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38What's 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.
00:09:57God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:03Stop!
00:10:04I 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 Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale 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.
00:10:30Now 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.
00:10:45Be nice.
00:10:45Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:59when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:07Oh, 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.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:27Ew.
00:11:28What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets.
00:11:32I know.
00:11:33If 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?
00:11:45Yeah, 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.
00:12:07Please, Mr. Eastwood.
00:12:09My dad won't let me have anything.
00:12:11Lucky 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.
00:12:21Here we go.
00:12:21What to do?
00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24Daniel, I don't mind.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28Here we go.
00:12:29So.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:32Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:36So.
00:12:37Anyways.
00:12:38Come on, Ben.
00:12:38Let's go.
00:12:40That's great.
00:12:41Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:42Oh, there's Paps.
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.
00:12:57Guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:00Jackson.
00:13:01Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract sign.
00:13:14It's open.
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 there 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:25I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:31Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:47She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:52Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I 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.
00:14:00Oh, gee, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:04The 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, this is 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.
00:15:01Are...
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.
00:15:22My 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
00:15:29after party with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if mom schooled it.
00:15:40Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:41Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on.
00:15:48Let's go to Michelle.
00:15:49Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:10I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:13Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:17Daniel!
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?
00:16:32Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:33I was just doing that for Melissa.
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.
00:16:46What 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.
00:17:05A 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.
00:17:14But if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans, I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:23This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:35I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:40All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:45Honey.
00:17:46Oh, 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.
00:17:58I'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.
00:18:10That'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?
00:18:18Is 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.
00:18:25You 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.
00:18:38Going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:42I 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.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:50I'm going to go back.
00:18:56Daniel!
00:19:01I bet I'm here.
00:19:02This is...
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:04Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:19:06Oh!
00:19:08Oh, good.
00:19:09You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:14It'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.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, Matt.
00:19:36I...
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:41You can trust me.
00:19:42Hey, Preston, I think you're at the same time.
00:19:46You need to go right now.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:49Oh, man.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:53I...
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?
00:20:11My 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
00:20:33husband.
00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:39God, 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...
00:20:53What?
00:20:55You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:02And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:18Um...
00:21:18I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:33I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
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.
00:22:06Look 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.
00:22:35There you go.
00:22:36There he is.
00:22:43God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:45Man.
00:22:46No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:49Life of an A-Lister, I guess.
00:22:53I've got some.
00:22:56What do you mean?
00:22:57Oh, oh.
00:22:58Yeah, there you go.
00:22:59I don't know if you need some of this shit, but I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:02Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:04Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:06Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:15You're not?
00:23:16A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:19Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:21It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:28What's going on, Jackson?
00:23:39Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:41I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:45And it's unfair.
00:23:46That's a shame, huh?
00:23:47You know what?
00:23:48Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:49Here we go.
00:23:51Ooh.
00:23:52No!
00:23:54Not to play with that.
00:23:56You never let me do anything!
00:23:59Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:02You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:04It's not about the money.
00:24:06It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:08Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:13Yeah?
00:24:13What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:16You're so annoying!
00:24:18Don't push.
00:24:24I said don't push.
00:24:26Go get a book or something.
00:24:27Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:29He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man servant like you.
00:24:32God, what the hell is he just saying?
00:24:34Call it a lesson.
00:24:38I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:40He's not your kid.
00:24:42I wish I was.
00:24:43I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:46I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:49Ouch.
00:24:50I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:52So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:54Maybe it will be.
00:24:56But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:59You?
00:25:01Man of the house?
00:25:02Please.
00:25:02You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:04I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:08And you're washed a pack.
00:25:10Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:12How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:14I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:16I'm a fucking star!
00:25:18A star?
00:25:19A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:23Jackson, come on.
00:25:24I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:25No, I'm not going.
00:25:27Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:29Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:32You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:58What was that?
00:26:06Daniel!
00:26:07What is happening?
00:26:09It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:10Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:13What?
00:26:13You're so scared!
00:26:14That'd be pretty good, baby.
00:26:16What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:17I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:19I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:20What?
00:26:21I didn't.
00:26:21Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:23You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:26I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:28He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:29It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:31Bro, I'm up.
00:26:32Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:34What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:36What?
00:26:37Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:41Maybe I should go on.
00:26:42I'm sorry.
00:26:42No.
00:26:43Oh, my God.
00:26:45He's lying.
00:26:48You're a monster.
00:26:50And in front of your son?
00:26:51You have to be kidding.
00:26:53We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:54Sure.
00:26:56We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:58Come on.
00:26:59Clean this up.
00:27:02Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:07She's mine now, loser.
00:27:09You did lose a lot of blood,
00:27:37so we're going to have to keep you here overnight
00:27:40to pump you with a liquid.
00:27:42To be honest, that's...
00:27:43I could use a break from home.
00:27:45Trouble with the missus?
00:27:49Uh...
00:27:49Yeah.
00:27:51Pretty obvious.
00:27:52Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:55I shouldn't be saying this,
00:27:57but Sabrina Donovan was here
00:28:00with Preston Eastwood.
00:28:02True love story holding hands,
00:28:05wiping tears.
00:28:06I've been obsessed with them
00:28:08since breaking the eyes.
00:28:10You said, um, couple?
00:28:12I wasn't sure,
00:28:13but I checked the visitation logs,
00:28:15and it's official!
00:28:17She even helped me reposition Preston
00:28:20when his IV was twisted.
00:28:21She was so sweet.
00:28:27Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:29No, it's...
00:28:31It's my wound.
00:28:34I tore it, actually, um,
00:28:36ten years ago.
00:28:38Daniel!
00:28:40Sweet and caring,
00:28:42so Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:45He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:48and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:50Fuck you!
00:28:56Fuck!
00:28:58I'm gonna get my shit out, y'all.
00:29:01Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:03You once liked my short film.
00:29:05I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:06It needs the right producer.
00:29:17I know it's a long shot,
00:29:18but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:21Where have you been?
00:29:23I kept calling.
00:29:25I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:28Huh?
00:29:32What? I've been busy.
00:29:34I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:35Uh, seriously?
00:29:38Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:40I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:44Yeah.
00:29:45That's what you want to call it?
00:29:47I... I just...
00:29:50I'm sorry.
00:29:51I...
00:29:52Bringing Preston into our home
00:29:54was probably crossing the line.
00:29:59It is what it is.
00:30:02But, I mean,
00:30:02you know how the industry works.
00:30:05You even just hint at a relationship
00:30:07and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:10And I think you should go for it.
00:30:12I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:15But, I just...
00:30:16I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:18Seriously.
00:30:20I...
00:30:20I...
00:30:21I care about you.
00:30:29I love it.
00:30:31I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:33I know when you're angry.
00:30:35Really?
00:30:35I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:37I pay attention.
00:30:40Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:42She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:45That's all this marriage ever wants to her.
00:30:47A headline.
00:30:49A performance.
00:30:51Sabrina.
00:30:55Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:56You know what?
00:30:58I hate fighting.
00:30:59So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:01I was thinking...
00:31:04We could revisit your script.
00:31:09I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:11You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:14Well, yeah.
00:31:15The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:18The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:21I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:23Me and you.
00:31:24The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:26I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:32A long time ago.
00:31:34Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:31:37and for the next hour,
00:31:38we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:41Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:44There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:47I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:50Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:52What?
00:31:56I don't know what you do,
00:32:09but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:32:13and it was awful.
00:32:16I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:32:18and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:19That's not what I meant.
00:32:22I like it when you make it.
00:32:24I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:30I knew it.
00:32:32You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:34I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:38God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:43Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:47It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:48No, Daniel.
00:32:50No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:57Look what you made me do.
00:33:01Just leave it.
00:33:03I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:07And what?
00:33:08It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:10I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:12And look what I get for it.
00:33:14You know what?
00:33:15Forget it.
00:33:16I have a mirror.
00:33:17I'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:34What?
00:33:35Is that how you talked to your mother-in-law?
00:33:37Yeah.
00:33:38Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:38Not quite.
00:33:40That was the divorce contract.
00:33:41But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:46This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:48Remember that.
00:33:49I'll text you the address with Mimi.
00:34:01I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:06Oh, please.
00:34:08She's always been so secretive.
00:34:10I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:13Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:16I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:22Oh, oh.
00:34:23If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:25Come here.
00:34:26Oh.
00:34:26Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:34:33Do you know where she is?
00:34:35Or who she's with?
00:34:36She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:38He's been staying with us.
00:34:40Really?
00:34:42Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:45Oh, I hope so.
00:34:46I really hope so.
00:34:47He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:51Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:55Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:04What are you doing here?
00:35:05You never come to these things.
00:35:07Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:11Get lost.
00:35:12You embarrass us.
00:35:13Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:15I'm your father.
00:35:16I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:21Is there a problem?
00:35:27Oh, my God.
00:35:29That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:30How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:34If that was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:36I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:38You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:40Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:41You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:47I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:48That's not what I see.
00:35:50You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:59That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:02It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:04And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:09This was all I stopped with, uh, you were revolting.
00:36:13No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:16Hey.
00:36:18How are you watching now?
00:36:20Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:23Yeah.
00:36:24Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:26Oh, yeah?
00:36:27What lesson is that, Preston?
00:36:28You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:32Hmm.
00:36:35That's all.
00:36:37Oh!
00:36:37What the hell?
00:36:56What happened?
00:36:58Oh my god, Daniel!
00:37:01What the hell happened?
00:37:03Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:04Are you okay?
00:37:05Look at her go.
00:37:08Hollywood's finest.
00:37:09Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:12It's Daniel.
00:37:13He's a monster.
00:37:15He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:18Mommy!
00:37:19Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:21No.
00:37:22No, that's not true.
00:37:24If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:29Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:31Daniel, is that true?
00:37:38Sabrina.
00:37:40Oh!
00:37:42Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:44I think one of them is broken.
00:37:46Sabrina.
00:37:47Honey.
00:37:48We need to help Preston.
00:37:50But, but Daniel.
00:37:56Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:10Mommy, please.
00:38:11We can't leave him.
00:38:12I, I have, I have to help Preston.
00:38:31Come on, Jack.
00:38:38Daniel!
00:38:39I got you.
00:38:41Then let me go.
00:38:43She's made her choice.
00:38:45There's no going back.
00:38:46We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:59Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:03Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:06I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:07There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:13Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:15In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:18If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:22I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:24Don't worry about it.
00:39:40Just try.
00:39:41I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:57Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:59Seriously?
00:40:02I used to say that.
00:40:04I know what.
00:40:05What is your death?
00:40:06Oh!
00:40:07Come on, we'll call the doctor.
00:40:08Hey?
00:40:11What are you doing?
00:40:12I thought you were hurt.
00:40:14I think I'll fall through.
00:40:15Come on!
00:40:16so what are you doing
00:40:23I've always wanted to
00:40:25come on
00:40:27I know you want this
00:40:28I see the way you look at me
00:40:29now that Daniel's gone

00:53:33after-witting bitch?
00:53:35You can't do this to me!
00:53:37Sabrina, you don't need him.
00:53:40Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:42How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:45Move on?
00:53:46Please, honey.
00:53:48He is using her.
00:53:50Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:53He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:55How could you say that?
00:53:57I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:00He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:04Don't you see it?
00:54:05Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:54:08A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:13Well, and he's not whining.
00:54:15And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:54:19You have everything.
00:54:21I don't have him.
00:54:23Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:25Go have the chef make something.
00:54:26No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:30Why didn't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:32Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:34He's your dad.
00:54:35No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:38Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:41It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:43When did he get so cruel?
00:54:46You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:49A doormat.
00:54:51Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:53Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:54Enough!
00:54:55You little shit!
00:54:57Enough!
00:55:00Just enough!
00:55:01Sabrina?
00:55:02What's gotten into you?
00:55:04Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:08Whoa.
00:55:09What's going on here?
00:55:10This room feels really tense.
00:55:12Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:14I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:16No!
00:55:17I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:19And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:22It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:29Hey, babe.
00:55:31Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:33Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:35Really?
00:55:36Loser?
00:55:36Yeah.
00:55:37You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:40And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:45That's really, really low.
00:55:52Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:55:57Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:55:59To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:02Face it, Preston.
00:56:04You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:07And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:09Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:12You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:14I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:17Because you know what?
00:56:18Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:20It's not like that.
00:56:21Okay?
00:56:22Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:25I want to marry you.
00:56:26We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:29What's my birthday?
00:56:30Huh?
00:56:31What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:33What's my favorite color?
00:56:35My favorite song?
00:56:36Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:38Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:40What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:42You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:44You don't love me.
00:56:46You don't even know me.
00:56:48This isn't a relationship.
00:56:50This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:52And you know what?
00:56:53I'm done.
00:56:54Get out.
00:56:56I don't want to ever see you again.
00:56:58We're over.
00:57:00We're over.
00:57:01Hey, babe, come on.
00:57:02Please.
00:57:03Please, I love you.
00:57:04Just think about it.
00:57:05Look at the press.
00:57:07What this will look like.
00:57:08If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:12Get out.
00:57:14Now.
00:57:15Just give me your hand.
00:57:16Come on.
00:57:16No.
00:57:17I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:21Nobody sees the real thing.
00:57:22I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:24I see all of you.
00:57:26And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:28He truly knew me.
00:57:32He loved me.
00:57:34Every flaw.
00:57:37Every fear.
00:57:38Contract or not.
00:57:40He truly loved me.
00:57:42I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:44Saved me?
00:57:46You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:49Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:51And he saved me from you.
00:57:55Security!
00:57:57Security!
00:57:58Come on.
00:57:58Just let's talk about this.
00:58:00No.
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:02Celeste, do something.
00:58:04Come on.
00:58:04Sabrina!
00:58:05Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:07Was that really necessary?
00:58:09I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:13Is that all you care about?
00:58:15The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:58:19God!
00:58:20You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:24Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:27Of course I care about you.
00:58:30I love you.
00:58:32Then prove it.
00:58:33If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:38You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:52I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:55In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:00I mean, you know this.
00:59:02You're a legend.
00:59:03I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:05All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:06You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:09I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:11I got projects.
00:59:12Come on.
00:59:13You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made
00:59:17in L.A., not London.
00:59:19That's where you belong.
00:59:21To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:59:24It didn't really end well.
00:59:25Let me guess.
00:59:26My girl?
00:59:27If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:32You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:36You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:40You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:41Three picture deal.
00:59:42Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:44Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:46I don't know what to say.
00:59:47Just say yes.
00:59:48You have my number.
00:59:50Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:52Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:54You can't run away from the past.
00:59:55You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:59:57Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:12Can we talk?
01:00:14Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:18Of course.
01:00:19It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:24Is this a personal story?
01:00:25Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:29Oh.
01:00:32She knows who she is.
01:00:33Um.
01:00:34I'll leave it at that.
01:00:38You arrogant little shit.
01:00:41I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:50It's Les Donovan.
01:00:51I need a favor.
01:00:52I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:59It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:03Mom?
01:01:04What are you doing?
01:01:09Did you just break my TV?
01:01:11Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:14You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:16You've been so kind, though.
01:01:17Um, it's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:23He's back.
01:01:25Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:27Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:30I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:33I need to get on that movie.
01:01:34Absolutely not.
01:01:36You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:38If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:41Honey.
01:01:41I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:44He still loves me.
01:01:46He has to.
01:01:48I just need to talk to him.
01:01:51Let him go.
01:01:55Mom.
01:01:56Honey, I...
01:01:58You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:02I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:04I love you.
01:02:09I love you, too.
01:02:12Here we go.
01:02:15This is, um...
01:02:16It's another movie deal.
01:02:18I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:19Okay.
01:02:20Okay.
01:02:20Okay.
01:02:34Did you get his location?
01:02:37The Oaks.
01:02:388 p.m.
01:02:40After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:45He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:56She's not protecting me.
01:02:59She's protecting her business.
01:03:01And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:02But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:07So nice having you back.
01:03:09And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:11Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:13A couple?
01:03:15Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:19If you can even call them that.
01:03:21You're healthy now.
01:03:22And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:24I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:29The marriage, the kids.
01:03:31I mean, we really tried.
01:03:33I thought I could make it go for it, but it's over.
01:03:38It's over.
01:03:39I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:43I don't know.
01:03:43Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:54She dumped him.
01:03:56It was all over People magazine.
01:03:58She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:01Oh my gosh, it was.
01:04:03Daniel!
01:04:11Stop!
01:04:12Stop!
01:04:20Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:04:22I'm here to help you.
01:04:24Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:04:27Let's go home.
01:04:28Sabrina?
01:04:28How could you?
01:04:29What?
01:04:30I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:34I begged and pleaded.
01:04:36Stop lying.
01:04:37I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:41And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:47Oh my gosh, you're disgusting.
01:04:49I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:51Not anymore.
01:04:53Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:57I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:05:01I'm your mother.
01:05:02I only want what's best for you.
01:05:05What's best for me?
01:05:07You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:14That all ends today.
01:05:18You're fired.
01:05:21Fired.
01:05:23No.
01:05:25No.
01:05:30No.
01:05:31You can't do this to me.
01:05:33Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:35I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:36You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:41I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:44You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:47There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:51I made you.
01:05:52You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:57I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:05We're done here, Mom.
01:06:06If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:14Without another word.
01:06:16I have something to say.
01:06:28I have something to say.
01:06:30I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:33I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:36I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:40I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:48Apologize to your father.
01:06:51Do I have to?
01:06:53Do I have to?
01:06:54Who raised you?
01:06:57Cared for you?
01:06:59Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:03Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:07He did.
01:07:07He loved you.
01:07:09But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:12I was wrong.
01:07:13Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:19And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:22I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:27It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:29I love you.
01:07:31Okay.
01:07:32Come on, Jackson.
01:07:33Let's go.
01:07:40I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:43For everything.
01:07:52I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:55You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:58No.
01:08:00I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:02They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:05They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:12People can change.
01:08:15But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:17And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:29Daniel!
01:08:29Daniel!
01:08:30Daniel!
01:08:31I'm here, Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars were both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:38Yes.
01:08:39I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:44But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:46Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:57Way to go, John!
01:08:59Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:20We'll keep in touch.
01:09:21What do we have today?
01:09:29Forty.
01:09:30Sorry.
01:09:30Jesus.
01:09:31Hey, boy!
01:09:32How are we looking?
01:09:34You're still big in here.
01:09:35Hey, um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:39I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:42All right, here's the deal.
01:09:43The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:47Today?
01:09:48Are you fucking cute?
01:09:50That's why I love you, man.
01:09:51Cool under pressure.
01:09:52This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:09:55Oh, my God.
01:09:59All right, just bring in the next one.
01:10:01Ah!
01:10:01But that would be...
01:10:03Emily Blake.
01:10:07Emily.
01:10:08Amazing, as always.
01:10:16You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:19Please.
01:10:20I was gonna miss a shot who managed for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:25How's L.A. treating you?
01:10:26Oh, my God.
01:10:28Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:30But I am...
01:10:32I'm glad to be back.
01:10:34Well, it's not English countryside.
01:10:36Yeah.
01:10:36But it suits you.
01:10:40You definitely belong here.
01:10:44I do miss you, though.
01:10:46It was fun.
01:10:48Playing the part.
01:10:49British starlet.
01:10:51American director.
01:10:53I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:57Waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:00I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:02It just cost me, and we'll call Steven.
01:11:05You were amazing, as always.
01:11:09It's just...
01:11:10It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:15I never was, was I?
01:11:18Anyways.
01:11:19Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:22Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:23Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:38Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:41And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:43Oh, my God.
01:11:50What am I going to do?
01:11:58That was quick.
01:11:59What are you doing here?
01:12:11I came to audition.
01:12:16Did you bring any representation?
01:12:17No.
01:12:19I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:22I'm starting fresh.
01:12:24Right.
01:12:25Um...
01:12:26Hi.
01:12:29I'm Serena Donovan.
01:12:34Don't let me go!
01:12:35I got you.
01:12:36I'll never let you go.
01:12:40Are you okay?
01:12:41Yeah.
01:12:42It's an old wound that, um, never really healed.
01:12:48I understand.
01:12:53Daniel Johnson.
01:12:56Nice to meet you.
01:12:59Please.
01:13:08Whenever you're ready.
01:13:09I'll see you next week.
