00:08:38I mean it.

00:08:40Sabrina, don't do this.

00:08:43Just...

00:08:44Just give me your hand.

00:08:59No!

00:09:02Daniel!

00:09:03I got you.

00:09:05No! Don't let me go!

00:09:08I won't ever let you go.

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

00:09:18Nobody sees around me.

00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.

00:09:21I see all of you.

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

00:09:26Good to see you.

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!

00:09:54I'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!

00:10:03I 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.

00:10:14Don't embarrass me.

00:10:16No, it's fine.

00:10:17I'm sorry.

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?

00:10:26My 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, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.

00:10:33What are you saying, huh?

00:10:34Yeah.

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

00:10:39It's fine.

00:10:41It'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

00:11:00again.

00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.

00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.

00:11:14Oh, careful.

00:11:16You all right?

00:11:16I'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!

00:11:32Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.

00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.

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

00:11:42Well, babe, for real?

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

00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics.

00:11:51I'm rich.

00:11:52Which 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.

00:12:01Dina, 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, 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?

00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.

00:12:24I don't mind.

00:12:25All of you insist.

00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.

00:12:28So.

00:12:30Okay.

00:12:32Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.

00:12:36So, anyways.

00:12:38Come on, Ben, let's go.

00:12:38That's great.

00:12:41Gotcha.

00:12:41There we go.

00:12:43Oh.

00:12:44There's Paps.

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

00:12:48Last time.

00:12:50I promise.

00:12:52You're right.

00:12:53It is the last time.

00:12:56Guys.

00:12:59Hi.

00:12:59Jackson.

00:13:00Jackson.

00:13:01Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?

00:13:11Contract's fine.

00:13:14It's okay.

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 it 10 years of heartbreak?

00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with nothing.

00:13:44Why 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.

00:13:54I'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 kiss at the hockey rink.

00:14:04The scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.

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

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

00:14:11Oh, well, actually.

00:14:12This is totally a date.

00:14:14All 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.

00:14:30You get it, right?

00:14:39So, you two are a thing?

00:14:42Well, I think...

00:14:43Oh, it's okay, babe.

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

00:14:55This is so going viral.

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

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

00:15:01Is this your son?

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

00:15:05Don't be silly.

00:15:06You 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.

00:15:14But Preston is awesome.

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

00:15:19I 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 daddy wants

00:15:27when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty

00:15:29with 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 schools it.

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

00:15:41Daniel, he, you know, he's...

00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?

00:15:47Come on, then.

00:15:48Let's go to Michelle.

00:15:49Michelle.

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

00:16:03I told you this divorce was a mistake.

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

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

00:16:19Daniel!

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

00:16:23On the sound of it,

00:16:25your 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?

00:16:31Oh, fuck, that's not good.

00:16:33I was just doing it for Policia.

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.

00:16:46What do I do?

00:16:50Well, 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.

00:17:02Oh, 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,

00:17:14but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,

00:17:17I will come after you with everything I got.

00:17:20Daniel loves me.

00:17:21He has to understand.

00:17:23This is Hollywood.

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

00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.

00:17:34Daniel, 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?

00:17:45Honey, oh, what a coincidence.

00:17:48We 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.

00:18:01What 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.

00:18:06Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.

00:18:09That'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 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.

00:18:38I'm going 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!

00:19:00Let them here.

00:19:02Yeah.

00:19:05Oh!

00:19:07Oh, good.

00:19:08You're up.

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

00:19:15It's fun.

00:19:17Don't look at me like that.

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

00:19:22Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.

00:19:26How lucky for him.

00:19:27He'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.

00:19:37I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.

00:19:40You can trust me.

00:19:43Preston, I think you're...

00:19:45You need to let go.

00:19:47All right.

00:19:49Oh, man.

00:19:51Daniel, 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.

00:20:11Jealous?

00:20:11My God, you still don't get it, do you?

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

00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.

00:20:25That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.

00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?

00:20:38Oh, my God.

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...

00:20:53What?

00:20:54You know what?

00:20:56Fine.

00:20:59The two look great together.

00:21:01Daniel, I...

00:21:14And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.

00:21:23Um...

00:21:24I 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.

00:21:41I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.

00:21:57If 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.

00:22:20Playing house for another man.

00:22:22If 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 until 8 a.m.

00:22:48Man.

00:22:48No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.

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

00:22:53I've got some.

00:22:59What 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.

00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.

00:23:07Bulking 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?

00:23:22Why would I be threatened by that?

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

00:23:38Mr. Eastwood, I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.

00:23:47And it's unfair.

00:23:49That's a shame, huh?

00:23:50You know what?

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

00:23:52Here we go.

00:23:54Ooh.

00:23:55No.

00:23:57Not to play with them.

00:23:59You never let me do anything.

00:24:02Come on.

00:24:03It's just a fish tank, Daniel.

00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.

00:24:07Some other money.

00:24:08It's about him learning how to respect living things.

00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.

00:24:15Yeah?

00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?

00:24:18You're so annoying!

00:24:21Don't push.

00:24:27I said don't push.

00:24:28Go 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-serving like you.

00:24:35God, what the hell is he just showing me?

00:24:37Call it a lesson.

00:24:41I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.

00:24:43He'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 heard your son.

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

00:24:56I don't think.

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?

00:25:04Please.

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.

00:25:10And you're washed apart, still riding on all your old headlines.

00:25:14How were your latest box office numbers, huh?

00:25:17I heard your agents begging for scraps.

00:25:19I'm a fucking star.

00:25:20A star?

00:25:22A 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.

00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you.

00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston.

00:25:34You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.

00:26:01What was that?

00:26:04Daniel, what 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 would be pretty good, baby.

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.

00:26:23What?

00:26:23I didn't?

00:26:24Dude, 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.

00:26:33Throw up.

00:26:34Remember we're in the public eye?

00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?

00:26:39What?

00:26:39Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?

00:26:43Maybe I should go.

00:26:45I'm sorry.

00:26:45No.

00:26:46Oh, my God.

00:26:48He's lying.

00:26:50You're a monster.

00:26:52And in front of your son?

00:26:54You have to be kidding.

00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.

00:26:57Sure.

00:26:57We'll talk about this when I get home.

00:27:01Come on.

00:27:02Clean this up.

00:27:05Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.

00:27:08Oh, she's mine now, loser.

00:27:20Hello?

00:27:21What's your emergency?

00:27:23I'm bleeding out.

00:27:24I think I hit an artery.

00:27:26I hit an ambulance now.

00:27:28Now.

00:27:28You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you

00:27:43with liquid.

00:27:43To be honest, that's...

00:27:46I could use a break from home.

00:27:48Trouble with the missus?

00:27:51Uh...

00:27:52Yeah.

00:27:53Pretty 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.

00:28:03We've pressed in Eastwood.

00:28:05True love story.

00:28:06Holding hands, wiping tears.

00:28:09I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.

00:28:11You said, um, a couple?

00:28:15I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.

00:28:20She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.

00:28:24She was so sweet.

00:28:30Need us to check on that shoulder for you?

00:28:33No, it's...

00:28:35It's my wound.

00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.

00:28:41Daniel!

00:28:42Sweet 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.

00:28:57Fuck it!

00:28:58Fuck it!

00:29:00I'm gonna get my shit in here, 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 strip I've been sitting on.

00:29:18It needs the right producer.

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

00:29:24Where have you been?

00:29:25I kept calling.

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

00:29:31Huh?

00:29:35What?

00:29:35I've been busy.

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

00:29:38Seriously?

00:29:41Why does it always have to come back to him?

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

00:29:47Yeah.

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

00:29:49I, I just, I'm sorry.

00:29:54I, bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.

00:30:02It is, but it is.

00:30:04But I mean, you know how the industry works.

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

00:30:13And I think you should go for it.

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

00:30:17But, I just, I don't want you to be upset with me.

00:30:24Seriously.

00:30:26I, I care about you.

00:30:32I'm the man.

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

00:30:36I know when you're angry.

00:30:37Really?

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

00:30:40I pay attention?

00:30:41Since 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.

00:30:51A performance.

00:30:54Sabrina.

00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.

00:30:59You know what?

00:31:00I hate fighting.

00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?

00:31:05I was thinking, we could revisit your script.

00:31:11I 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, but they're good.

00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.

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

00:31:26Me and you.

00:31:27The lead actress and the writer-director.

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

00:31:33A long time ago.

00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves

00:31:42into the script.

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

00:31:47There was a time when this would have worked on me.

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

00:31:53Now I just want to pack and get out of here.

00:31:55I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and

00:32:16it was awful.

00:32:19I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how you like

00:32:22it.

00:32:22That's not what I meant.

00:32:25I like it when you make it.

00:32:28I'm not going to always be here to make it.

00:32:33I knew it.

00:32:35You are mad that I brought Preston back here.

00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.

00:32:41It'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.

00:32:53No, 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.

00:33:10And 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.

00:33:17You know what?

00:33:18Forget it.

00:33:19I have a premiere.

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

00:33:22What?

00:33:38Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?

00:33:40Yeah.

00:33:41Ex-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.

00:33:52I'll text you the address of where to meet me.

00:33:53I 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.

00:34:29Oh.

00:34:32Jackson!

00:34:33We were just talking about your mom.

00:34:36Do 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?

00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?

00:34:48Oh, I hope so.

00:34:49I really hope so.

00:34:50He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.

00:34:54Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.

00:34:57Yeah, 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.

00:35:13Get lost.

00:35:14You embarrass us.

00:35:16Jackson, do not talk to me like that.

00:35:18I'm your father.

00:35:19I wish you never were my dad.

00:35:24Is there a problem?

00:35:30Oh, my God.

00:35:32That's Preston Eastwood.

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

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

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

00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.

00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.

00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and head 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.

00:35:53You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.

00:36:00That'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 a stunt, wasn't it?

00:36:14You were revolting.

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

00:36:18Hey.

00:36:21Why don't you watch her now?

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

00:36:25Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson.

00:36:28Oh yeah?

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

00:36:31You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?

00:36:35Hmm.

00:36:40Oh!

00:36:55What the hell?

00:36:59What happened?

00:37:01Oh my god, Daniel!

00:37:04What 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, no, 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, is that true?

00:37:40Sabrina.

00:37:43Oh!

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

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

00:37:49Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.

00:37:52But, but Daniel.

00:37:59Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.

00:38:13Mommy, please, we can't leave him.

00:38:15I, I have, I have to help Preston.

00:38:21I'm out, Jack.

00:38:35Daniel!

00:38:41Daniel!

00:38:42I got you.

00:38:44Don't let me go!

00:38:46She's made her choice.

00:38:48There's no going back.

00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.

00:38:55Well, that went even better than I planned.

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

00:39:09I wasn't waiting for your permission.

00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.

00:39:15Get out of Hollywood.

00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.

00:39:21If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.

00:39:27Don't worry about it.

00:39:43Just drive.

00:39:43I used to beg for her approval.

00:40:00Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.

00:40:04Seriously?

00:40:06Say that.

00:40:07I don't want you to.

00:40:09I'm going to call the doctor.

00:40:11Hey.

00:40:13What are you doing?

00:40:15I thought you were hurt.

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

00:40:25So what are you doing?

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

00:40:29Come on.

00:40:29I know you want this.

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

00:40:32How that Daniel's gone.

00:40:34We have the house to herself.

00:40:36I can finally have you in his bedroom.

00:40:38I can finally have you in his bedroom.

00:40:43What am I doing?

00:40:50Daniel is still injured.

00:40:52He should be home.

00:40:56Sabrina?

00:40:57Kristen, get off.

00:41:10What?

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

00:41:13I said get off.

00:41:15What?

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

00:41:17No, forget about him.

00:41:19Look.

00:41:19I love Jackson.

00:41:21And I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.

00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.

00:41:28I mean, come on.

00:41:29Sabrina, your son.

00:41:30Your mother.

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

00:41:34What?

00:41:35Look.

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

00:41:39No.

00:41:40No.

00:41:41What have I done?

00:41:43Where is he?

00:41:45What about me?

00:41:46You had your chance 10 years ago.

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

00:41:57Hello?

00:41:59Excuse 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 holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.

00:42:11He didn't come back in, though.

00:42:12I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.

00:42:22Please try again later.

00:42:25What have I done?

00:42:37Come on, Daniel.

00:42:38Answer me.

00:42:39Answer me.

00:42:42He's not gone.

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

00:42:57He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.

00:43:05It's not possible.

00:43:07He will be back.

00:43:09No.

00:43:11No.

00:43:22Wait, it's all the assets.

00:43:24Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.

00:43:27The waves all spousal support.

00:43:30No.

00:43:30No, he can't leave me.

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

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

00:43:45No.

00:43:47All this time, who's going to leave me?

00:43:50It can't be.

00:44:09It's not us.

00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter.

00:44:11My 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, everything we've been through.

00:44:24I got you.

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

00:44:50Was I ever really paying attention?

00:44:57Daniel?

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

00:45:00Is everything okay?

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

00:45:02Mom.

00:45:04Mom.

00:45:06Daniel.

00:45:06He 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.

00:45:19Daniel'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!

00:45:36Dad!

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

00:45:39Jackson?

00:45:42I have something to tell you.

00:45:44Your dad.

00:45:49Your dad.

00:45:51He's left us.

00:45:54I'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...

00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?

00:46:06What did Preston say?

00:46:08He said a pathetic pussy like that

00:46:09should stick to scrubbing toilets

00:46:11and raising a young man.

00:46:13He 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!

00:46:24You have a dad.

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

00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!

00:46:29Do 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, but I'm not surprised.

00:46:53Flag his name.

00:46:55I 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?

00:47:16It's despicable.

00:47:18I can't do this anymore.

00:47:20I'll cancel everything.

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

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

00:47:27I 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?

00:47:45How 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.

00:47:59Daniel is my husband.

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

00:48:04Yeah, some husband.

00:48:06Abandoning you without a moment's notice.

00:48:07Wanting nothing to do with this child just because the contract ended.

00:48:11Contract?

00:48:13What contract?

00:48:18What are you talking about?

00:48:21Forget it.

00:48:23Just 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.

00:48:41But promise me you won't get mad.

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

00:48:49But no, it was all for your own good.

00:48:51When Preston left you, you were distraught.

00:48:58I had to save you.

00:49:00She's lost without you, Daniel.

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

00:49:06From film school to now.

00:49:08I've seen it.

00:49:09She needs you.

00:49:11Stay.

00:49:12Marry her.

00:49:13Love her.

00:49:13So 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?

00:49:29I wanted to protect you.

00:49:31You 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.

00:49:46Daniel did what he was meant to do.

00:49:48He kept you together.

00:49:50Where?

00:49:51Where did he go?

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

00:49:54Where is he?

00:49:56You can do better than him.

00:49:57You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.

00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.

00:50:04No.

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

00:50:06He can't.

00:50:07Yes, he is gone.

00:50:09And he is gone forever.

00:50:11He 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 Detainless Silver Fox has already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.

00:50:42Speaking 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?

00:50:56Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speech.

00:51:00Nobody told me how.

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

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

00:51:07Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making and I've been very honest about it, actually.

00:51:15I almost, I 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 and it really is full steam ahead.

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

00:51:33Hollywood.

00:51:35Get out of the country.

00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.

00:51:43Daniel?

00:52:01He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.

00:52:05Daniel 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 actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

00:52:21Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.

00:52:24We'll never tell.

00:52:29Oh, my God, thanks for saying that.

00:52:31She was practically eye-fucking you.

00:52:33I know, jeez.

00:52:35This is so surreal.

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

00:52:38I can?

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

00:52:44Daniel, enjoy this.

00:52:48And get used to compliments.

00:52:50There's already Oscar buzz.

00:52:52Fuck.

00:52:53Finish me, I don't.

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

00:52:58You okay?

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

00:53:01I bet so.

00:53:03I'll have it.

00:53:03Well, the world is about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.

00:53:09So, well, it's just got a head start.

00:53:11I know.

00:53:24Our press is good press.

00:53:30Daniel becomes an award-winning director,

00:53:33and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?

00:53:36You can't do this to me!

00:53:40Sabrina.

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

00:53:43Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.

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

00:53:47Move on?

00:53:49Please, honey.

00:53:50He is using her.

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

00:53:56He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.

00:53:58How could you say that?

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

00:54:04He's proving that to the whole world.

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

00:54:07Sabrina.

00:54:08Look at what you've got.

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

00:54:16Well, when he's not whining.

00:54:18And don't forget about Preston.

00:54:20Your 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.

00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.

00:54:33Why can't you just hire Daniel back?

00:54:35Don't talk about him like that.

00:54:36He's your dad.

00:54:38No, Preston is my real dad now.

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

00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.

00:54:46When 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.

00:54:57Daniel's a doormat.

00:54:57Enough!

00:54:57You little shit!

00:55:01Enough!

00:55:02Just enough!

00:55:04Sabrina?

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

00:55:07Don'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.

00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason.

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

00:55:19No!

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, babe.

00:55:34Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?

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

00:55:38Really?

00:55:38Loser?

00:55:39You 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.

00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.

00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.

00:56:13Yeah, 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.

00:56:23It's not like that.

00:56:24Okay?

00:56:25Look, I was just merging things like couples do.

00:56:28I want to marry you.

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

00:56:32What'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.

00:56:55And you know what?

00:56:56I'm done.

00:56:57Get out.

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

00:57:01We're over.

00:57:02We're over.

00:57:04No, babe, babe, come on.

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

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

00:57:08Look at the press.

00:57:09What this will look like.

00:57:11If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot of weird.

00:57:15Get out.

00:57:16Hey, just pull it up.

00:57:17Now.

00:57:18Just give me your hand.

00:57:19Come on.

00:57:19No.

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

00:57:23Nobody sees the real people.

00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.

00:57:27I 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.

00:57:38Oh, my God.

00:57:39He 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.

00:57:57And get used to compliments.

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

00:58:01Fuck.

00:58:02Finish me out of it.

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

00:58:04You okay?

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

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

00:58:12Hold up.

00:58:13Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.

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

00:58:31I know.

00:58:32Well, the price is good price.

00:58:44You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.

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

00:58:49In 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 idle in the wrong country.

00:59:03I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.

00:59:05I got projects.

00:59:06Come on.

00:59:07You're built for billion dollar franchises.

00:59:09Hollywood blockbusters.

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

00:59:13That's where you belong.

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

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.

00:59:25You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.

00:59:29You can become a household name, and I can get you there.

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

00:59:35Three picture deal.

00:59:36200 million dollar budget each.

00:59:38Creative 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.

01:00:06Can we talk?

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

01:00:12Of 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?

01:00:19Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?

01:00:22Oh, she knows who she is.

01:00:27Um, I'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.

01:00:44It's Les Donovan.

01:00:45I need a favor.

01:00:46I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to 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?

01:01:05Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?

01:01:08You know how I'm supposed to do that?

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

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

01:01:16He's back.

01:01:19Why didn't you tell me?

01:01:21Honey, 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.

01:01:30You'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.

01:01:35Oh, honey.

01:01:35Honey, 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.

01:01:45Let him go.

01:01:48Mom.

01:01:50Honey, I...

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

01:01:56I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.

01:02:00I love you.

01:02:02I love you, too.

01:02:03Here we go.

01:02:09This is, um...

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

01:02:12I'll tell you about it after.

01:02:28Did you get his location?

01:02:31The Oaks ADM.

01:02:33After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.

01:02:39He'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.

01:02:57But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.

01:03:00It'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 of years, hasn't it?

01:03:07A couple?

01:03:09Daniel, it was ten 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.

01:03:18I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.

01:03:22To marriage, to kids.

01:03:25I mean, we really tried.

01:03:27I thought I could make it go for it, but it's over.

01:03:32It's over.

01:03:32I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.

01:03:44Oh.

01:03:45You 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.

01:03:56Daniel.

01:04:05Stop.

01:04:14Sabrina, what are you doing here?

01:04:16I'm here to help you.

01:04:18Sabrina.

01:04:19We 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 if he'd let you audition, but he said no.

01:04:27I begged and pleaded.

01:04:29Stop lying.

01:04:31I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.

01:04:35And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.

01:04:40My God.

01:04:42You're disgusting.

01:04:43I'm a manager, Daniel.

01:04:45Not anymore.

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

01:04:51I don't even know who you are anymore.

01:04:54I'm your mother.

01:04:56I only want what's best for you.

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

01:05:02You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.

01:05:07And that all ends today.

01:05:12You're fired.

01:05:14Fired.

01:05:16No.

01:05:19No.

01:05:24No.

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

01:05:27Please.

01:05:28Please, sweetie.

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

01:05:30You dedicated your life to money and to fame.

01:05:33I was just who you used to get to it.

01:05:38You think you can survive on sheer talent?

01:05:41There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.

01:05:44I made you.

01:05:46You'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, or in mine, you'll leave now.

01:06:08Without another word.

01:06:20I have something to say.

01:06:21I'm sorry, Daniel.

01:06:27I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.

01:06:30I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.

01:06:35I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and 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 and 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 and we abused it.

01:07:11And now there is nothing we could do to take that back.

01:07:16I'm sorry, Dad.

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

01:07:23I love you.

01:07:24Okay.

01:07:26Come on, Jackson.

01:07:27Let's go.

01:07:27Come on.

01:07:34I'm sorry, Daniel.

01:07:36For everything.

01:07:37Okay.

01:07:41I know that look, Daniel.

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

01:07:51No.

01:07:54I just didn't know it would be this hard.

01:07:56They hurt you, Daniel.

01:07:59They tore you to pieces and 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 Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.

01:08:22Daniel!

01:08:23Daniel!

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

01:08:25Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?

01:08:31Yes.

01:08:32I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.

01:08:38But, okay, I'll tell you this.

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

01:08:51Way to go, John!

01:08:53Thank you so much for considering me for this part.

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

01:09:15What do we have today?

01:09:23Forty.

01:09:24Sorry.

01:09:24Jeez.

01:09:25Hey, boy!

01:09:26How are we looking?

01:09:27Still digging?

01:09:29Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.

01:09:31I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.

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

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

01:09:45Cool under pressure.

01:09:46This movie is gonna blow the roof off.

01:09:52Oh, my God.

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

01:09:55But that would be Emily Blake.

01:09:58Emily.

01:10:06Emily.

01:10:07Amazing as always.

01:10:10You flew in all the way from London for this?

01:10:13Please.

01:10:14I was gonna miss a shot to audition for the great Daniel Johnson.

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

01:10:20Oh, my God.

01:10:21Less tea, but way more traffic.

01:10:24But I am...

01:10:25I'm glad to be back.

01:10:27Well, it's not even this 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 to become something real.

01:10:51Waiting for us to become something real.

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

01:10:55It just cast me, and we'll call it even.

01:11:00You were amazing, as always.

01:11:03It's just...

01:11:04It's just not quite what I'm looking for.

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

01:11:11Anyways.

01:11:13Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.

01:11:16Maybe I'll see you around?

01:11:17Give me a copy, and you know what?

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

01:11:35And be generous with the sugar.

01:11:37Oh, my God.

01:11:44What am I going to do?

01:11:51That was quick.

01:11:52What are you doing here?

01:12:05I came to audition.

01:12:10Did you bring any representation?

01:12:11No.

01:12:13I fired my manager, remember?

01:12:15I need you.

01:12:16You'd be nothing without me.

01:12:20I don't have been.

01:12:22Don'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.

01:12:33It's an old wound that, um...

01:12:35never really healed.

01:12:39I understand.

01:12:43Daniel Johnson.

01:12:47Nice to meet you.

01:12:50Please.

01:12:52I'm going to.

01:12:59I'm going to be ready.

01:13:14However you're ready.
