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 waited.
00:03:53I gave it everything I had.
00:04:01I gave it 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.
00:04:11Enough. Just enough.
00:04:18I want a divorce.
00:04:20I want a divorce.
00:04:28Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:31Huh?
00:04:33I 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.
00:04:46Seriously, your 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?
00:05:00Another 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.
00:05:18And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:22Yeah, you get it.
00:05:25Love you.
00:05:27I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:31If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:34Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:37The movie's greenlit and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:47We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:01At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, mom.
00:06:08How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:09I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:15Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:19I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:21But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:25I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:31I am, mom, and I promise very soon everything's going to change.
00:06:42You are wonderful, dear.
00:06:44You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, mom?
00:06:55Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:01Preston 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.
00:07:25That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:28We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:30Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:34I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:38Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:45We can only let our news ΡΠΊΠ°Π·.
00:07:46We got that show.
00:08:00Let's get started.
00:08:07We'll be delighted.
00:08:08You destroyed me.
00:08:18Rest in my home.
00:08:34Rhea!
00:08:35Vote!
00:08:37Stay back!
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:40Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:43Just...
00:08:46Just give me your hand.
00:09:00No!
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.
00:09:15I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees around me.
00:09:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:22I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:34Good to see ya!
00:09:36Oh my gosh, how long is it then?
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. Are you kidding?
00:09:46Oh, Daniel.
00:09:47Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:50Oh, there he is!
00:09:52The assistant!
00:09:53I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:57God, how 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.
00:10:15Don't embarrass me.
00:10:16No, it's fine.
00:10:17I'm sorry.
00:10:18You played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it. He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules. What are you saying, huh?
00:10:34Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine. It's fine. Just relax, okay? Be nice.
00:10:46Some people never change, but 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, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:07I'm still starving. Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:27What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:32If 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. Donovan Cosmetics. Rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful. I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00Daniel, that was always your problem. You're so caught up on the morals. You realize that's why no one bought your scripts. They were so dull.
00:12:07These mysteries with my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:11Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel. So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant? My treat.
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:20Huh?
00:12:21Here we go.
00:12:22What?
00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25All of you insist. I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28Oh.
00:12:29So...
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:31Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code, so...
00:12:37Anyways!
00:12:38Come on, Ben, let's go!
00:12:40Screw you.
00:12:41Here we go.
00:12:42Here we go.
00:12:43Oh!
00:12:44Oh!
00:12:45Paps, you 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?
00:12:58Hi!
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 sign.
00:13:13It'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.
00:13:23After ten years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with that, but...
00:13:31Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:47She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:52Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.
00:14:00OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:04The scene that I wrote.
00:14:05Uncredited, of course.
00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:14All 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.
00:14:31Right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43It's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:46This is so going viral.
00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:59It looks like more than dating.
00:15:01Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:06You 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 when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if Mom's schooled 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.
00:15:48Let's go Michelle.
00:15:49Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:08I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:17Daniel!
00:16:20You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23On the sound of it, your 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?
00:16:32Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:33I was just doing it for Felicia.
00:16:34It 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, Sabrina 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?
00:16:49Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53You need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:59You're really good at that.
00:17:01Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket.
00:17:08So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over.
00:17:13But if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans, I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:22This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:25Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:26Daniel, what is this?
00:17:27I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:40The public takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:44Honey!
00:17:45Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:47We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:52A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:55Yeah.
00:17:56I'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?
00:18:04That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa!
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09That'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.
00:18:37Going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:41I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:51I'm going to go back.
00:18:55Daniel!
00:18:56Daniel!
00:19:00Thanks.
00:19:01Let them here.
00:19:02This is...
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:04Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:19:06Oh!
00:19:07Oh, good.
00:19:09You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:19:15It was fun.
00:19:17Don't look at me like that.
00:19:19I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:22Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:28He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:34Yeah.
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:36Listen, man.
00:19:37I...
00:19:38I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:41You can trust me.
00:19:44Preston, I think you're at the same time.
00:19:46Anything right now.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:49Oh, hey.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously.
00:19:52Listen, man.
00:19:53I...
00:19:54When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:59I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:20:03Just ignore him.
00:20:04He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:09Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:15Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:28That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:40God, God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:45Are you really gonna ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:51No, it's not like that. I...
00:20:54What?
00:20:56You know what? Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:02And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:17Um...
00:21:22I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:29Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:33I was never the homemaker.
00:21:35I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:53I 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.
00:22:06I can't miss.
00:22:19Look at her now.
00:22:21Playing house for another man.
00:22:23If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:26There he is.
00:22:29God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:32Man.
00:22:34No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:36Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:38Hmm.
00:22:40Hmm.
00:22:42Hmm.
00:22:43Hmm.
00:22:45Hmm.
00:22:47Hmm.
00:22:49Hmm.
00:22:51Hmm.
00:22:52Hmm.
00:22:54Hmm.
00:22:55Hmm.
00:22:56Hmm.
00:22:59Oh, oh.
00:23:02I don't need some of this shit, but...
00:23:04I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:10Hey, uh...
00:23:14You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of you last night, right?
00:23:18Not?
00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:22Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:24It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:41What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:43Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:44I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:48And it's unfair!
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:51Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:54Ooh, no!
00:23:57Not to play with that.
00:23:59You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05Because you can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:09It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:12Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:16Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:19You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:23I said don't push.
00:24:29Go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-serving like you.
00:24:35What 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.
00:24:45I wish I was!
00:24:46I hope Mom buries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:50I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:52Ouch!
00:24:52I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:55So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:57I don't know.
00:24:58Maybe it will be.
00:24:59But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:04Man of the house?
00:25:05Please.
00:25:06You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:10And you're washed a pack.
00:25:13Still riding on all your old headlights.
00:25:15How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:17I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star!
00:25:21A star?
00:25:22A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:26Jackson, come on.
00:25:27I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:29No, I'm not going.
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than me.
00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:40You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:02What was that?
00:26:09Daniel!
00:26:10What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom.
00:26:14Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:16What?
00:26:16I'm so scared.
00:26:17That'd be pretty good, babe.
00:26:19What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:22I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:23What?
00:26:24I didn't.
00:26:25Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:29I thought you were bigger than Miss Betty's shit.
00:26:31He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:34Bro, I'm up.
00:26:35Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What?
00:26:40Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:44Maybe I should go.
00:26:45I'm sorry.
00:26:46No.
00:26:47Oh, my God.
00:26:49He's lying.
00:26:51You're a monster.
00:26:53And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding.
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57Sure.
00:26:58We'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.
00:27:21Hello, segment one.
00:27:22What's your emergency?
00:27:23I'm waiting now.
00:27:25I think I hit an hour.
00:27:26I need an ambulance now.
00:27:28Now.
00:27:29You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:27:43with the liquid.
00:27:45To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:48Trouble with the missus?
00:27:49Uh, yeah.
00:27:54Pretty obvious.
00:27:55Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:03Miss Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:09I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:13You said, um, 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.
00:28:38I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:41Daniel!
00:28:43Sweet and caring.
00:28:45So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.
00:28:48But he only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:51and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:57Fuck!
00:28:59Fuck!
00:29:01Let me get my shit out of here.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:08I have a strip I've been sitting on.
00:29:09It needs the right producer.
00:29:20I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:25Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:28I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:30It's so...
00:29:31Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:36I've been busy.
00:29:37As soon as I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:39Uh, seriously?
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...
00:29:50I...
00:29:51I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry.
00:29:55I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what it is.
00:30:05But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:09You even just hint at a relationship,
00:30:11and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:13And I think you should go for it.
00:30:15I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:17But, I just...
00:30:20I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:25Seriously.
00:30:26I...
00:30:26I care about you.
00:30:32I love it.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:38Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:43Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:52A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:01I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking...
00:31:07We could revisit your script.
00:31:09I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:17Well, yeah.
00:31:18The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:26Me and you.
00:31:27The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:29I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:31:40and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:44Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:47There 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,
00:32:12but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:32:16and it was awful.
00:32:19Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:32:21and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:23That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:29I'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.
00:32:50It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:52No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:55Look what you made me do.
00:33:02Just leave it.
00:33:06I just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:10And what?
00:33:11It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:13I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:19Forget it.
00:33:20I have a mirror.
00:33:20I'll 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.
00:33:42Not quite.
00:33:43That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's MTA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:51Remember that.
00:33:52I'm texting you the address of where's Mimi?
00:33:54I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:10Oh, please.
00:34:11She's always been so secretive.
00:34:13I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:19I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:25Oh, wow.
00:34:26If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:34We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:36Do you know where she is?
00:34:38Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:41He's been staying with us.
00:34:44Really?
00:34:44Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:54Speaking 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?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:14Get lost.
00:35:15You'll embarrass us.
00:35:16Mr. Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:24Is there a problem?
00:35:25Oh, my God.
00:35:32That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:37If that was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:43Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and head out because you're starting to make scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:53You showed up uninvited.
00:35:55In street rags.
00:35:57Abused Sabrina's kid and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:08And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all I stopped, was it?
00:36:15You were revolting.
00:36:17No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:19Hey.
00:36:19How are you watching now?
00:36:23Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:29Oh, yeah?
00:36:30What lesson is that, Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:36Hmm.
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:49What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:02Oh, my God!
00:37:03Daniel!
00:37:04What the hell happened?
00:37:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:09Look at her go.
00:37:11Hollywood'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.
00:37:21Mommy!
00:37:22Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:36Daniel.
00:37:37Is that true?
00:37:41Sabrina.
00:37:43Oh!
00:37:45Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them's broken.
00:37:50Sabrina.
00:37:50Honey.
00:37:51We need to help Preston.
00:37:55But Daniel.
00:37:59Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:02Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:16I...

00:53:38You can't do this to me!
00:53:40Sabrina, you don't need him.
00:53:43Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:45How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:48Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:51He 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.
00:53:59How could you say that?
00:54:00I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:04He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:07Don't you see it?
00:54:08Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:54:11A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, and he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:20You're a dream man.
00:54:22You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:28Go have the chef make something.
00:54:30No, 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.
00:54:37He's your dad.
00:54:38No!
00:54:39Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:41Daniel'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?
00:54:49You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:56Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:59You little shit!
00:55:02Enough!
00:55:03Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:11Whoa.
00:55:11What'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!
00:55:20I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:23And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:26It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:33Hey, 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?
00:55:39Loser?
00:55:39You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:44And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:53That's really, really low.
00:55:55Especially 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.
00:56:15You'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, okay?
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?
00:56:38My favorite song?
00:56:39Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:42Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:43What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:45You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:48You don't love me.
00:56:49You don't even know me.
00:56:51This isn't a relationship.
00:56:53This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:59I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:03We're over.
00:57:04No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please, please, I love you.
00:57:07Just think about it.
00:57:09Think of the press, what 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.
00:57:17Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:24Nobody sees the real me.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:32He truly knew me.
00:57:36He loved me.
00:57:37Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:57:46I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:48Saved me?
00:57:49You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:52Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:54And he saved me from you.
00:57:58Security.
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.
00:58:07Sabrina.
00:58:08More than Sabrina.
00:58:10Was that really necessary?
00:58:12I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:16Is that all you care about?
00:58:18The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:58:22God.
00:58:23You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:28Sabrina.
00:58:29You are being dramatic.
00:58:30Of course I care about you.
00:58:33I love you.
00:58:35Then prove it.
00:58:36If you ever want me in front of the camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:41You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:55I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:58In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:59:03I mean, you know this.
00:59:05You're a legend.
00:59:06I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:08All right, 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 all right.
00:59:14I got projects.
00:59:15Come on.
00:59:16You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:59:21not London.
00:59:22That's where you belong.
00:59:24To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:59:27It 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.
00:59:36You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:39You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:43You'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.
00:59:52You have my number.
00:59:53Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:55Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:57You can't run away from the past.
00:59:59You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:12Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:15Can we talk?
01:00:17Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:21Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:27Is this a personal story where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:32Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:36Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:41You arrogant little shit.
01:00:44I told you if you ever sat foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:53It's Les Donovan.
01:00:55I need a favor.
01:00:56I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:59Hey, thank you.
01:01:02It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:07Mom, what are you doing?
01:01:12Did you just break my TV?
01:01:14Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:18You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:19You've been so kind, though.
01:01:20Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:26He's back.
01:01:27Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:30Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:33I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:36I need to get on that movie.
01:01:37Absolutely not.
01:01:39You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:41If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:44Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:47He still loves me.
01:01:50He has to.
01:01:52I just need to talk to him.
01:01:54Let him go.
01:01:57Mom!
01:02:00Honey, 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.
01:02:12I love you, too.
01:02:15Here we go.
01:02:18This is, um...
01:02:19It's another movie deal.
01:02:21I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:22Did you get his location?
01:02:40The Oaks.
01:02:428 p.m.
01:02:42After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:48He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:51She's not protecting me.
01:03:02She's protecting her business.
01:03:04And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:05But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:10It's so nice having you back.
01:03:12And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:15Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:17A couple?
01:03:18Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:22If you can even call them that.
01:03:24But 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 loved Sabrina,
01:03:30but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:33The marriage, the kids.
01:03:35I 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.
01:03:46Oh, you 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!
01:04:15Stop!
01:04:16Sabina, what are you doing here?
01:04:25I'm here to help you.
01:04:27Sabina, you're making a scene.
01:04:30Let's go home.
01:04:31Sabina?
01:04:32How could you?
01:04:32What?
01:04:33I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:37I begged and pleaded.
01:04:39Stop 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.
01:04:51You're disgusting.
01:04:52I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:54Not anymore.
01:04:55Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:05:00I 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.
01:05:16And that all ends today.
01:05:21You're fired.
01:05:23You're fired.
01:05:26No.
01:05:29No.
01:05:33No.
01:05:35You can't do this to me.
01:05:36Please.
01:05:37Please, sweetie.
01:05:38I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:40You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:43I 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.
01:05:54I made you.
01:05:55You'd be nothing without me.
01:06:00I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:02We're done here, Mom.
01:06:10If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:18Without another word.
01:06:19I 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?
01:07:00Cared for you?
01:07:02Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:06Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:10He did.
01:07:11He loved you.
01:07:12But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:15I was wrong.
01:07:16Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:22And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:26I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:30It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:32I love you.
01:07:34Okay.
01:07:35Come on, Jackson.
01:07:36Let's go.
01:07:36Come on.
01:07:42I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:46For everything.
01:07:55I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:58You're thinking of going back to them.
01:08:00I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:05They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:08They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:13People can change.
01:08:17But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:24And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:32Daniel!
01:08:33Daniel!
01:08:33Daniel!
01:08:33Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:40Yes.
01:08:42I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:47But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:51I 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.
01:09:24We'll keep in touch.
01:09:24What do we have today?
01:09:3240, sir.
01:09:34Jesus.
01:09:34Hey, boy!
01:09:36How are we looking?
01:09:37Still big in there.
01:09:38Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:42I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:45All right, here's Theo.
01:09:47The studio's on my ass looking to lock and delete today.
01:09:50Today?
01:09:52Are you fucking cute?
01:09:53That's why I love you, man.
01:09:54Cool under pressure.
01:09:56This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:10:01Oh, my God.
01:10:02All right, just bring me the next one.
01:10:04But that would be...
01:10:07Emily Blake.
01:10:10Emily.
01:10:11Amazing, 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.
01:10:28How's LA 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 English 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.
01:10:56I 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 cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:11:08You were amazing, as always.
01:11:12It's just...
01:11:13It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:18I 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.
01:11:27Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:41Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:45And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:46Oh, my God.
01:11:53What am I going to do?
01:12:01That was quick.
01:12:02Oh, my God.
01:12:02What am I going to do?
01:12:02What are you doing here?
01:12:15I came to audition.
01:12:19Did you bring any representation?
01:12:21No.
01:12:21I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:25I'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...
01:12:47never really healed.
01:12:51I understand.
01:12:56Daniel Johnson.
01:12:59Nice to meet you.
01:13:03Please.
01:13:11Whenever you're ready.
01:13:15I'll see you next time.
