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. But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:08You used to 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.
00:01:20When 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. Stay. Marry her. Love 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.
00:01:56Mom, Daniel.
00:01:57What's going on?
00:02:03What's going on?
00:02:05Honey!
00:02:07I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:11If the paparazzi catch him next to you...
00:02:13But I need to go. I have an appointment with your child.
00:02:19Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:20Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:29Then 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 it. Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:47I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah, 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?
00:02:56Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No! I want to eat now!
00:03:13Hmm, you 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 at that god-awful Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:25I've got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I...
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!
00:03:36Chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets!
00:03:38You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:42But I want that!
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:52I've got nothing.
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:01I gave everything I had.
00:04:03But 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.
00:04:18I want a divorce.
00:04:22I want a divorce.
00:04:28Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:31I want a...
00:04:36I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:40Jackson, 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, their only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:04:59Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:06It's not a...
00:05:07Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:09Hard 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, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:22Yeah, you get it.
00:05:23Love you.
00:05:23I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:26If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:28Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:32The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct. We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't. My wife needs me here in LA. After all, I've sacrificed. My scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:59At least there is one good thing to come from this. I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, Mom. How are you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear. I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no. You've already done so much.
00:06:19I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:25Nikki, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, Mom. And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42You're wonderful, dear. You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:48I gotta go. Love you.
00:06:53What is it, Mom?
00:06:55Someone very special decided to pay us a visit. Our 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.
00:07:24All right, cut. That's a wrap, everyone. Thank you.
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 are in charge of the future, she disescalculined and μ€οΏ½care his life.
00:07:47Don't you think she's being astened player?
00:07:48We are in charge of the Japanese girl.
00:07:58We have a busymail, and we run in charge for both of our children.
00:08:08And she was looking for some fun season for those girls.
00:08:10I mean it.
00:08:16It destroyed me.
00:08:18Rest in.
00:08:20There's nothing left.
00:08:34Ria, don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:40Sabrina.
00:08:42Don't do this.
00:08:44Just...
00:08:46Just give me your hand.
00:09:00No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:04I got you.
00:09:06Don't let me go!
00:09:08I won't ever let you go.
00:09:14I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:16Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:22I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:26Good to see you.
00:09:28Good to see ya!
00:09:32Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:34Oh, two long.
00:09:36Look at you!
00:09:38Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:42Of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:48Oh, Daniel, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit.
00:09:50But you don't mind, right?
00:09:52Oh, there he is!
00:09:54The assistant!
00:09:56Don't be quite like this guy.
00:09:58How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:02Stop!
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!
00:10:18You played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough!
00:10:24You think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, 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.
00:10:38It's fine.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:53Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:07Oh, I need to be careful.
00:11:08You all right?
00:11:09I'm still starving.
00:11:10Make me some food.
00:11:11Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:12Stew?
00:11:13Ew.
00:11:14What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:16I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:17Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets!
00:11:18I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:20Oh, babe.
00:11:21For real?
00:11:22Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:24Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:25Rich.
00:11:26Rich.
00:11:27Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:28I'm a billionaire.
00:11:29Oh, babe.
00:11:30For real?
00:11:31Yeah.
00:11:32My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:33Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:34Rich.
00:11:35Rich.
00:11:36Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:37I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with
00:11:42nothing.
00:11:43Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:44You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:45You realize that's why nobody's happy with us.
00:11:46I'm a billionaire.
00:11:47You're a billionaire.
00:11:48You're a billionaire.
00:11:49I can't believe that.
00:11:50You're a billionaire.
00:11:51You're a billionaire.
00:11:52You're a billionaire.
00:11:53I'm a billionaire.
00:11:54Oh, babe.
00:11:55For real?
00:11:56Yeah.
00:11:57My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:58Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:59Rich.
00:12:00Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:12:01I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:04You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:06They were so dull.
00:12:07These mysteries with my dad won't let me have anything.
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:15So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21What to do?
00:12:22Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24No, no, no, no, no mind.
00:12:25If you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28There you go.
00:12:29So.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:31Hey.
00:12:32Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a drisco.
00:12:36So.
00:12:37Anyways.
00:12:38Come on, babe.
00:12:39Let's go.
00:12:40That's great.
00:12:41Gotcha.
00:12:42Here we go.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:44Hey.
00:12:45Paps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:49I promise.
00:12:51You're right.
00:12:53It is the last time.
00:12:56You guys.
00:12:57Hi.
00:12:58Jackson.
00:12:59Jackson.
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:07Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract signed.
00:13:13It's over.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork.
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:22Is it ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:25Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:29She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:36Sabrina Donovan.
00:13:37I could scream.
00:13:38I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:39Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together.
00:13:40You're right.

00:25:22a star that needs his ex
00:25:23to bring it back into the spotlight
00:25:25Jackson come on
00:25:26I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore
00:25:28no
00:25:29I'm not going
00:25:30Preston is way cooler than you
00:25:32Preston
00:25:33Preston
00:25:34Preston
00:25:35Preston
00:25:35Preston
00:25:36You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:03Daniel, what is happening?
00:26:11It was Dad, Mom. Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:15Why are you so scared?
00:26:16That'd be pretty good, babe.
00:26:18What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson. I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:23I didn't.
00:26:24What the hell is wrong with you? You'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. Grow up!
00:26:34Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:36What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What? Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:42Maybe I should go. I'm sorry.
00:26:46No! Oh 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.
00:26:58We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:02Clean this up!
00:27:04Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:09Huh.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:12Hello, segment one. What's your emergency?
00:27:22I'm laying down.
00:27:24I think I hit an artery.
00:27:26I need an ambulance now.
00:27:27Now!
00:27:28You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:40So we're gonna have to keep you here overnight.
00:27:42If not people look like what?
00:27:44To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:48Trouble with the missus?
00:27:50Uh...
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:53Pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:57I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:02Miss Preston Eastwood.
00:28:04True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:08I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:11You said, um, couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:28:19She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:29Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:32No, it's...
00:28:34It's my wound.
00:28:36I tore it actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Daniel!
00:28:42Sweet and caring.
00:28:44So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.
00:28:47He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:50And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:56Fuck you!
00:28:57Fuck you!
00:28:58Fuck you!
00:28:59Let me get my shit out of here.
00:29:01Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:05You once liked my short film.
00:29:07I have a strip I've been sitting on and...
00:29:17It 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.
00:29:26I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:30Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:36I've been busy.
00:29:37I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:39Seriously?
00:29:40Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:42I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:44Yeah.
00:29:45That's what you want to call it?
00:29:46I...
00:29:47I just...
00:29:49I'm sorry.
00:29:50I...
00:29:51Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:55It is what it is.
00:29:56But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:59You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:12And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:17But...
00:30:18I just...
00:30:19I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:25I...
00:30:26I care about you.
00:30:29I don't know that.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:35I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:55Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:01I hate fighting.
00:31:02So...
00:31:03Let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking...
00:31:07We could...
00:31:08Revisit your script.
00:31:09I 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.
00:31:30I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:44Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:53Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55What?
00:32:11I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful.
00:32:19I've had a lot of experience making it for you and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'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.
00:32:41God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:49It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:55Look what you made me do.
00:33:02Just leave it.
00:33:05I just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:09And what?
00:33:10It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:14And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I have a mirror.
00:33:20We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:21What?
00:33:22Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:27Yeah.
00:33:28Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:29Not quite.
00:33:30That was the divorce contract.
00:33:31But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize our entertainment contract and our family's MTA. This is showbiz, baby. Remember that. I'm texting you the address where's Mimi.
00:33:48I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:05Oh, please. She's always been so secretive. I mean, this is her movie premiere and where is her husband?
00:34:15Maybe she's embarrassed by him. I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Oh, wow. If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:32Jackson! We were just talking about your mom. Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood. He'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. I really hope so. He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:54Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:58Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:07What are you doing here? You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's gotta be the husband.
00:35:12Get lost! You'll embarrass us!
00:35:15Mr. Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.
00:35:18I wish you never were my dad!
00:35:20Is there a problem?
00:35:21Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood. How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:35If that was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:38I wish Preston was my dad! You're a pathetic loser!
00:35:41Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid 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.
00:35:52You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:04It doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all I stopped, was it?
00:36:14You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:19How are you watching now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah, 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.
00:36:57What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:01Oh my god, Daniel!
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:17He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy!
00:37:21Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of them.
00:37:30The reporters.
00:37:31Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:32Daniel.
00:37:33Is that true?
00:37:34Sabrina.
00:37:35Oh!
00:37:36Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:37I think one of them's broken.
00:37:38Sabrina.
00:37:39Honey.
00:37:40We need to help Preston.
00:37:41But...
00:37:42But...
00:37:43But...
00:37:44Daniel.
00:37:45But Daniel.
00:37:46Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:47Mommy, please.
00:37:48We can't leave him.
00:37:49I...
00:37:50I...
00:37:51I have...
00:37:52I have...
00:37:53I have to help Preston.
00:37:54I...
00:37:55I have...
00:37:56I have to help Preston.
00:37:58I have to help Preston.
00:37:59I have to help Preston.
00:38:05I have to help.
00:38:08I have to help.
00:38:11I have to help.
00:38:16I... I have... I have to help Preston.
00:38:34Come out, Jackson.
00:38:41Daniel!
00:38:42I got you.
00:38:44No, 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
00:38:52after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:39:02Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:07Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:18In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:21If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:26I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:28Don't worry about it.
00:39:39Don't worry about it.
00:39:43Just dry.
00:39:44I used to beg for her approval.
00:40:00Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:02I'm going to call the doctor.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:14What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:17I think I'll pull through.
00:40:18Listen, what are you doing?
00:40:27Well, I've always wanted to.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:30I know you want this.
00:40:31I see the way you look at me.
00:40:33How that Daniel's gone.
00:40:34We have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I could finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:39What am I doing?
00:40:51Daniel is still injured.
00:40:53He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Kristen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Hey, we can finally.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:15What?
00:41:16I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:19Look.
00:41:20I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:28I mean, come on.
00:41:29Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:32Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:34What?
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:39No.
00:41:41No.
00:41:42What have I done?
00:41:44Where is he?
00:41:45What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance ten years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:54Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:01Excuse me.
00:42:02Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:05Please, here was someone bleeding out.
00:42:07I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:11He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:13Oh, no.
00:42:17Content, where are you?
00:42:19I'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.
00:42:39Answer me.
00:42:45He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:58He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:02No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:08He will be back.
00:43:11No.
00:43:11Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero, Cassio, Jackson.
00:43:27The waves all spousal support.
00:43:30No.
00:43:31No, he can't leave me.
00:43:33He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on it.
00:43:36Come on.
00:43:37All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:43:51It can't be.
00:44:09It's not her.
00:44:10Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:16He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:20We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years,
00:44:23everything we've been through.
00:44:26Ahem.
00:44:27I got you.
00:44:49Don't let me go.
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:53Daniel?
00:44:59No, it's Mom.
00:45:00Is everything okay?
00:45:01He's not panicked.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:06Daniel.
00:45:07He just left us.
00:45:10Do you know where he is?
00:45:13We have to find him.
00:45:14We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:16Oh, honey.
00:45:18It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:22You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning
00:45:24and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry!
00:45:36Dad!
00:45:37Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:40Taxi?
00:45:43I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad?
00:45:49Your dad?
00:45:50He's left us.
00:45:54I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01He was so embarrassing.
00:46:03Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:08He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:46:10should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:46:12and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone.
00:46:19Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:23Jackson!
00:46:24You have a dad.
00:46:26And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:44I'm sorry.
00:46:44I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large sums have been wired
00:46:47to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:51No.
00:46:52But I'm not surprised.
00:46:54Flag his name.
00:46:55I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:59Jackson,
00:47:00I don't want to ever hear you say
00:47:01Preston's name again.
00:47:03Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:06Your father,
00:47:07the one who raised you
00:47:08and cared about you,
00:47:09is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him
00:47:11at all costs.
00:47:13What kind of coward
00:47:14abandons his family?
00:47:16Huh?
00:47:17It's despicable.
00:47:18I can't do this anymore.
00:47:21I'll cancel everything.
00:47:22The interviews,
00:47:24the red carpets.
00:47:24I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:30I just want him back.
00:47:31Oh, honey.
00:47:34It's time to let him go.
00:47:36You don't love him anyway.
00:47:38And think about what Preston
00:47:40would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:48Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:52He sees me.
00:47:53He was there for me
00:47:54when Preston dropped me
00:47:56like 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
00:48:05abandoning you
00:48:07without a moment's notice,
00:48:08wanting nothing to do
00:48:09with this child
00:48:09just because I contraended?
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:18What are you talking about?
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Forget it.
00:48:22Forget it.
00:48:23Just pretend
00:48:24I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel
00:48:26at the restaurant
00:48:27the other day,
00:48:28you said that he was
00:48:29going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something
00:48:31you're not telling me?
00:48:33Please.
00:48:34I just want the truth.
00:48:36Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:39I will tell you the truth.
00:48:41But promise me
00:48:42you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth,
00:48:47Sabrina.
00:48:49But no,
00:48:50it was all for your own good.
00:48:52I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:54When Preston left you,
00:48:57you were distraught.
00:48:59I had to save you.
00:49:01She'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.
00:49:10She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:15So that she's never alone again.
00:49:17It was all just
00:49:24some sort of obligation?
00:49:27How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:31You wanted to control me.
00:49:33All because you needed me
00:49:34for my career,
00:49:35my money.
00:49:36Well,
00:49:37it worked, didn't it?
00:49:38You were about to
00:49:43throw yourself
00:49:44off a rooftop.
00:49:46Daniel did what
00:49:47he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:53I know he told you
00:49:54where he went.
00:49:55Where is he?
00:49:56You can do better than him.
00:49:58You are Sabrina Donovan,
00:50:01Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me,
00:50:03it's for the best.
00:50:04No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't.
00:50:07Yes,
00:50:08he is gone
00:50:09and he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone.
00:50:14He can't.
00:50:35I'm live
00:50:36at the highly anticipated
00:50:37premiere of
00:50:37Howe,
00:50:38the Tame Silver Fox
00:50:39that's already
00:50:39generated a considerable
00:50:41buzz for its new
00:50:41writer, director.
00:50:45Speaking of which,
00:50:46there he is now,
00:50:47Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:51Daniel,
00:50:52your film received
00:50:53the Palme d'Or
00:50:53at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through
00:50:56your head tonight?
00:50:58Honestly,
00:50:59I'm just trying not to
00:50:59trip over my own speed.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh man,
00:51:04how comfortable
00:51:04these designer shoes
00:51:05would be.
00:51:06I've heard this talk
00:51:07of a sequel.
00:51:08Uh, yeah,
00:51:09um,
00:51:10God,
00:51:11my career has been
00:51:11a long time in the making
00:51:13and I've been very honest
00:51:14about it actually.
00:51:15I almost,
00:51:16I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:17But London,
00:51:19London lit the fire under me
00:51:21and I feel like I found my voice
00:51:22and it really is
00:51:24full steam ahead.
00:51:26Speaking of London,
00:51:27since you're an American
00:51:28writer,
00:51:28will you be making
00:51:29your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:30Hollywood.
00:51:35Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see
00:51:38your name next to my
00:51:40daughters in a tabloid,
00:51:42that will make your life
00:51:43a living hell.
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47Daniel?
00:51:47He's no good at
00:52:02bragging about himself,
00:52:03so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true
00:52:07auteur
00:52:07and a creative genius
00:52:09and it was a privilege
00:52:11to be his leading lady.
00:52:13That's not a light compliment
00:52:14coming from Emily Blake,
00:52:15two-time Golden Globe
00:52:16award-winning actress
00:52:17and celebrated alumni
00:52:19of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:21Well,
00:52:21I've heard that, uh,
00:52:22your relationship
00:52:23wasn't just professional.
00:52:25We'll never tell.
00:52:26Oh, my God.
00:52:30Thanks for saving me.
00:52:32She was practically
00:52:33eye-fucking you.
00:52:34I know.
00:52:34Jeez.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:37I mean,
00:52:37I can't believe
00:52:37this has happened to me.
00:52:39I can.
00:52:40The moment I read
00:52:41your script,
00:52:42I knew you were special.
00:52:45Daniel,
00:52:45enjoy this
00:52:47and get used
00:52:49to compliments.
00:52:51There's already
00:52:51Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me out of it.
00:52:55I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:55You okay?
00:53:00You always do that
00:53:01when you're nervous.
00:53:02I think so.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:05Well,
00:53:06the world's about to meet
00:53:07its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:10Some of us
00:53:10just got a head start.
00:53:23I know.
00:53:23I'll press this good press.
00:53:26The world's about to meet
00:53:39this to me.
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:43None of us have
00:53:43his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:45How can he move on
00:53:45to that uptight
00:53:46British bitch?
00:53:48Move on.
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:55He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:53:59I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:15Well, and he's not whining.
00:54:17And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:19Preston, your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:37No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:43It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:45When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:51A doormat.
00:54:53Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:56Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:03Sabrina?
00:55:04What's gotten into you?
00:55:06Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:09Whoa.
00:55:10What's going on here?
00:55:12This room feels really tense.
00:55:14Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:16I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:18No!
00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm gonna put you in a time out.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:28Hey, are you really gonna get mad at Jackson for what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:37Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:52That'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.
00:55:59Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:06You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:16I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:19Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I wanna marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:32Huh?
00:56:33What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:35What'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 wanna ever see you again.
00:57:00We're over.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:03Hey, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please.
00:57:06Please, I love you.
00:57:07Just think about it.
00:57:08Think of the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:10If I have to call my security,
00:57:12all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey, just.
00:57:17Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real me.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:57:32He truly knew me.
00:57:36He loved me.
00:57:38Every flaw.
00:57:39Every fear.
00:57:41Contract or not.
00:57:43He truly loved me.
00:57:45I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:47Saved me?
00:57:48You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:52Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:54And he saved me from you.
00:57:57Security!
00:58:00Security!
00:58:01Come on.
00:58:02Just let's talk about this.
00:58:03No.
00:58:04Come on.
00:58:05Celeste, do something!
00:58:06Sabrina!
00:58:08Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:10Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:58:14and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all you care about?
00:58:17The fame?
00:58:18The headlines?
00:58:19The brand deals?
00:58:21God!
00:58:22You're supposed to be my mother first,
00:58:24not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:27Sabrina.
00:58:28You are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:33I love you.
00:58:34Then prove it.
00:58:36If you ever want me in front of the camera again,
00:58:38then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:40You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:57In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:03I mean, you know this.
00:59:04You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:07Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:09You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:12I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing alright.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:15Come on.
00:59:16You're built for billion dollar franchises.
00:59:18Hollywood blockbusters.
00:59:19The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:59:21That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest, I already did LA.
00:59:26It didn't really end well.
00:59:28Let me guess.
00:59:29A girl?
00:59:30If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:35You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:38You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:42You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:44Three picture deal.
00:59:45200 million dollar budget each.
00:59:47Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:49I don't know what to say.
00:59:50Just say yes.
00:59:51You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:56You can't run away from the past.
00:59:58You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:05Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:14Can we talk?
01:00:16Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:20Of course.
01:00:21It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:26Is this a personal story?
01:00:28Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:31Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:36Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:40You arrogant little shit.
01:00:43I told you if you ever sat foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:52It's Les Donovan.
01:00:54I need a favor.
01:00:55I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:01:02It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:06Mom?
01:01:07What are you doing?
01:01:11Did you just break my TV?
01:01:14Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:17You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:19You've been so kind though.
01:01:20Um, it's called,
01:01:21You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:25He's back.
01:01:28Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:30Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:32I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:35I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not.
01:01:39You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:40If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:44Oh, honey.
01:01:45I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:46He still loves me.
01:01:49He has to.
01:01:51I just need to talk to him.
01:01:53Let.
01:01:54Him.
01:01:55Go.
01:01:57Mom!
01:01:59Honey, I...
01:02:01You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:05I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:09I love you.
01:02:10You.
01:02:12I love you too.
01:02:18This is, um...
01:02:19It's another movie deal.
01:02:20I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Hmm.
01:02:38Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks.
01:02:418 p.m.
01:02:43After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:47You'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:59She's not protecting me.
01:03:01She's protecting her business.
01:03:03And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:05But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:07She'll get one.
01:03:10So nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:14Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:16A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:22If you can even call them that.
01:03:23But you're healthy now.
01:03:25And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:27I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:03:28I love Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:32The marriage, the kids.
01:03:34I mean, we really tried.
01:03:36I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:03:39It's over.
01:03:41It's over.
01:03:42I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks press the niece would come off her.
01:03:45Oh.
01:03:55You haven't heard?
01:03:57She dumped him.
01:03:59It was all over People Magazine.
01:04:01She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:04Oh my gosh, it was.
01:04:11Daniel!
01:04:12Stop!
01:04:23Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:04:25I'm here to help you.
01:04:27Sabrina, you're making a scene. Let's go home.
01:04:31Sabrina?
01:04:32How could you?
01:04:33I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:37I begged and pleaded.
01:04:38Stop lying.
01:04:40I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:44And I'll bet you called the paparazzi too to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:50My God. You're disgusting.
01:04:52I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:54Not anymore.
01:04:56Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:59I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:05:03I'm your mother.
01:05:05I only want what's best for you.
01:05:08What's best for me?
01:05:12You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:15That all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:23Fired.
01:05:25No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:33No.
01:05:35You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:37Sweetie, I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:39You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:44I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:47You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:50There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:53I made you!
01:05:55You'd be nothing without me!
01:05:56I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:00I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:07We're done here, Mom.
01:06:10If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:17Without another word.
01:06:26I have something to say.
01:06:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:36I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:39I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:44I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:53Apologize to your father.
01:06:55Do I have to?
01:06:57Who raised you?
01:06:59Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:05Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:09He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:13But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:15I was wrong.
01:07:17Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:20And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:25I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:29It's gonna be okay, son.
01:07:31I love you.
01:07:33Okay.
01:07:34Come on, Jackson.
01:07:35Let's go.
01:07:43I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:45For everything.
01:07:47I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of going back to them.
01:08:01I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:04They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:06They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:15People can change.
01:08:16But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:24And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:31Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:34Daniel!
01:08:36Daniel!
01:08:38Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars were both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:40Yes. I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but, um, I think I found my way back.
01:08:47But, okay, I'll tell you this. Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:09:01Way to go, John!
01:09:10Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:23Thank you. We'll keep in touch.
01:09:31What do we have today?
01:09:32Forty, sir.
01:09:34Jesus.
01:09:34Hey, boy! How are we looking?
01:09:37Still big in it. Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:40Uh, I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:45All right, here's the deal. The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:50Today? Are you fucking cute?
01:09:53That's why I love you, man. Cool under pressure. This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:10:01Oh, my God. All right, just bring in the next one.
01:10:04But that would be Emily Blake.
01:10:10Emily.
01:10:15Emily.
01:10:17Amazing, as always.
01:10:19You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:22Please.
01:10:23I wasn't gonna miss a shot to audition for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:26Sorry.
01:10:26How's L.A. treating you?
01:10:30Oh, my God.
01:10:31Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:33But I am...
01:10:35I'm glad to be back.
01:10:37Well, it's not me with this countryside.
01:10:39Yeah.
01:10:39But it suits you.
01:10:43You definitely belong here.
01:10:47I do miss you, though.
01:10:49It was fun.
01:10:51Playing the part.
01:10:52British starlet.
01:10:54American director.
01:10:55I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:00Waiting for us to become something real.
01:11:03I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:06It just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:11:09You...
01:11:09You were amazing, as always.
01:11:12It's just...
01:11:13It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:16I never was, was I?
01:11:21Anyways...
01:11:22Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:25Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:27Yeah.
01:11:40Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:41Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:44And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:46Oh, my God.
01:11:53What am I going to do?
01:12:01That was quick.
01:12:12What are you doing here?
01:12:15I came to audition.
01:12:16Did you bring any representation?
01:12:21No.
01:12:22I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:24I'm starting fresh.
01:12:27Right, um...
01:12:30Hi.
01:12:32I'm Serena Donovan.
01:12:37Don't let me go!
01:12:38I got you.
01:12:39I'll never let you go.
01:12:43Are you okay?
01:12:45Yeah.
01:12:45It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:46It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:47It never really healed.
01:12:51I understand.
01:12:52Daniel Jonson.
01:13:01I have, um...
01:13:01Nice to meet you.
01:13:03Please.
01:13:05Now you're ready.
01:13:35Now you're ready.
