00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:07That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:33Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:38You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:44Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son. But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:21You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:52What's going on?
00:01:57What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh!
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:14Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:24Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:26Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:30I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:34I saw Preston was there.
00:02:37I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you.
00:02:44And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:48Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:50But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:03:05Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:07He doesn't listen.
00:03:08Daniel, please.
00:03:10I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Fanity Fair shoot.
00:03:17I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick.
00:03:20This isn't easy, but I know...
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26It's not healthy food. I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:31You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want that!
00:03:35Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck!
00:03:40I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:42Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:50I waited.
00:03:52I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:57And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough.
00:04:03Just enough.
00:04:05I want a divorce.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:21Huh?
00:04:23I want a di-
00:04:26I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:28Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:33Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:41Seriously?
00:04:43Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:46I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:48What is this?
00:04:50Another contract?
00:04:51How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:55It's not a-
00:04:56Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:58Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:01Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:04I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:09Pull my weight?
00:05:11Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Mwah! Love you.
00:05:16I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:19If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:22Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:32The movie's Greenland, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:35We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:37I can't.
00:05:38My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:40After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:48At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:51I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:55Hey mom, how you doing?
00:05:56Oh, good dear.
00:05:57I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:02Do you need more?
00:06:03No, no, no, no.
00:06:04You've already done so much.
00:06:06I'm just trying to help.
00:06:07I know.
00:06:08But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:12I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:19I am, mom.
00:06:22And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:29You have a wonderful fear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:33Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:35I gotta go.
00:06:36Love you.
00:06:39What is it, mom?
00:06:41Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:49Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:55and is stealing it back again.
00:07:00Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:09All right, cut.
00:07:11That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:13We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:17Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:19I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:23Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:26If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:30After you, she
00:07:41We don't love you.
00:07:42We don't love you.
00:07:43It's great.
00:07:49And now, let's get into it.
00:07:50You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:03There's nothing left.
00:08:05Sabrina, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:23Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:30Just give me your hand.
00:08:35No!
00:08:43Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:49Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:57I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:00Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:06And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:16Good to see ya!
00:09:17Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, two long.
00:09:20Look at you!
00:09:21Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:24Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:25Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:27Are you kidding?
00:09:28Oh, Daniel.
00:09:29Uh, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:32Oh, there he is!
00:09:34The assistant!
00:09:35I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:39How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:43Stop!
00:09:44I can't believe my wife, but invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:51Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:54Daniel!
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:56Don't embarrass me.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58Whoa, you?
00:09:59Played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:02He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:06My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:08He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:10Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:13What are you saying, huh?
00:10:15Yeah.
00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:19That's fine.
00:10:21That's fine.
00:10:22Just relax, okay?
00:10:24Be nice.
00:10:28Some people never change.
00:10:35But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:41Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:43But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:54Oh, careful.
00:10:55You alright?
00:10:56I'm still starving.
00:11:00Make me some food.
00:11:01Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:04Stew?
00:11:05Ew.
00:11:06What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:08I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:11Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:14I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:17Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:20What?
00:11:21What?
00:11:22For real?
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:24My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:27Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:29I'm rich.
00:11:31Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:34I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:38See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:40You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:42You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:44They were so dull.
00:11:45Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:48Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:52So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:56My turn.
00:11:57Here we go.
00:11:58What?
00:11:59Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:01I don't mind.
00:12:02All of you insist.
00:12:03I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:06Oh.
00:12:07Mm-hmm.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:09Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:13So, anyways.
00:12:14Come on, man.
00:12:15Let's go.
00:12:16That's great.
00:12:17Gotcha.
00:12:18There we go.
00:12:19Oh.
00:12:20There's Paps.
00:12:23You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:25Last time.
00:12:26I promise.
00:12:29You're right.
00:12:30It is the last time.
00:12:33Hey, guys.
00:12:35Hi.
00:12:36Jackson.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:43Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:47Contract's fine.
00:12:50It's over.
00:12:52Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:55I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:12:59After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:20Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:22She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:27Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:29I could scream.
00:13:30I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:31Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.
00:13:35Oh, gee.
00:13:36I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:39A scene that I wrote.
00:13:40Uncredited, of course.
00:13:41Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:44Wait.
00:13:45Are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:49All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:56Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:13:59You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:01Your brand?
00:14:02It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:05You get it, right?
00:14:14So, you two are a thing?
00:14:16Well, I...
00:14:17It's okay, babe.
00:14:18We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:29This is so going viral.
00:14:30I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:32It looks like more than dating.
00:14:34Are...
00:14:35Is this your son?
00:14:36I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:38Don't be silly.
00:14:39You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:42That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:44He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:47But Preston is awesome.
00:14:50He's an action spy.
00:14:52I wish he was my dad.
00:14:55My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:57But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants
00:14:59when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party
00:15:02with a call girl.
00:15:03It's okay, buddy.
00:15:04Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:06If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:09That is if mom's school with it.
00:15:11Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:13Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:15Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:17Come on, let's get Michelle.
00:15:21Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:39I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:44Sabrina will end up on top,
00:15:46and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:51Daniel!
00:15:52You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:54From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:58Daniel, he's here?
00:16:00Did he see us?
00:16:01Is he looking over here?
00:16:03Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:04I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:05I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:07Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:09Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:16:10Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:12Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:14Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:16Jackson, enough.
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:20Well, that's it then.
00:16:22Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:24I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,
00:16:26with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:30You're really good at that.
00:16:32Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:36A one-way ticket so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:42I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:47I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:50Daniel loves me.
00:16:51He has to understand.
00:16:52This is Hollywood.
00:16:53It's just part of the job.
00:16:55Daniel, I can explain.
00:16:59Daniel, what is this?
00:17:05I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:09All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:14Honey!
00:17:15Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:17We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:20Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:22A vacation?
00:17:23Finally.
00:17:24You're paying attention.
00:17:25Yeah.
00:17:26I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:28Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:30What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:32Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:34That's not what I meant.
00:17:35Whoa.
00:17:36Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:38It's fine.
00:17:39Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:42Just like any good husband would.
00:17:44Oh, I see.
00:17:45Is it me?
00:17:46Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:48I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:50I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:52You know what?
00:17:53Maybe I should go.
00:17:54I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:56No, please stay.
00:17:57I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:00No, you know what?
00:18:02I'll go.
00:18:03And clearly she wants you.
00:18:05I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:07Daniel, wait.
00:18:09I won't ever let you go.
00:18:11He won't leave.
00:18:12He promised.
00:18:13It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:16We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:19I'm going to go back.
00:18:23Daniel!
00:18:27Please.
00:18:28Better than yours.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:31Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:33Oh!
00:18:35Oh, good.
00:18:36You're up.
00:18:37Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:42It's fun.
00:18:43What?
00:18:44Don't look at me like that.
00:18:46I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:48Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:52Well, but not lucky for him.
00:18:54He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:57Oh.
00:18:58Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:01Okay.
00:19:02Listen, Matt.
00:19:03I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:07You can trust me.
00:19:10Preston, I think you're at the same time.
00:19:12You need to go right now.
00:19:13All right.
00:19:15Oh, hey.
00:19:17Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:19I, I, when you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:24I, I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:19:28Just ignore him.
00:19:29He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:31No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:34Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:36Jealous?

00:27:05uh yeah pretty obvious most married folks that come in here are miserable
00:27:12i shouldn't be saying this but sabrina donovan was here with preston eastwood
00:27:19true love story holding hands wiping tears i've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice
00:27:26you said um couple i wasn't sure but i checked the visitation logs and it's official
00:27:32she even helped me reposition preston when his ivy was twisted she was so sweet
00:27:43need us to check on that shoulder for you
00:27:45no it's it's not wound i tore it actually um 10 years ago sweet and caring
00:27:58so preston's found the wi-fi i always wanted he only had to break her heart to get it and left me to pick
00:28:04up the pieces
00:28:06i don't know if you remember me you once liked my short film i have a script i've
00:28:18been sitting on it it needs the right producer i know it's a long shot but i'd be honored if you read it

00:28:38uh huh what i've been busy anyways i thought you were busy entertaining preston
00:28:48seriously why does it always have to come back to him i told you he's just a friend
00:28:53uh yeah that's what you want to call it i i just i'm sorry i bringing preston into our home was
00:29:05probably crossing the line
00:29:10it is what it is but i mean you know how the industry works you even just hint at a relationship
00:29:18and it stirs up all this publicity and i think you should go for it i mean you always do what's
