00:00:00For his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:05That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:09Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:13Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:19Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I got my way back.
00:00:24Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:32Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:37You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:43Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:48If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:00:51The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:57I'll always love my son.
00:00:59But he's a bully, and he learned to from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:03You didn't still worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:06That was a long time ago.
00:01:08America'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 is 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.
00:01:24She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:34I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:40If 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.
00:01:48Mom, Daniel.
00:01:54What's going on?
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:00Honey!
00:02:00I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum if the paparazzi catch him next to you.
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with you, Silas.
00:02:14Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:19Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, then I will be free.
00:02:25Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:28Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:32I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:37I saw it. Preston was there.
00:02:38I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:44Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:48I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:51Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:53But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:55No! I want to eat now!
00:02:57No!
00:03:08Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:11He doesn't listen.
00:03:12Daniel, please.
00:03:13I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:20I've got something I need to tell you. I'm going to get quick.
00:03:23This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:25Ew, what is this?
00:03:27It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:29I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets. Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:34You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:37But I want them!
00:03:39Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:43You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:54I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:59But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:01And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:07Enough. Just enough.
00:04:13I want a divorce.
00:04:17I want a divorce.
00:04:23Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:26Huh?
00:04:26I want a divorce.
00:04:33Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:35Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:39Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously, their only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:51I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:54What is this?
00:04:56Another contract?
00:04:57How big is the role?
00:05:00Who's directing?
00:05:01It's not a...
00:05:02Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:05Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:07Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:11I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:13And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:16Pull my weight?
00:05:17Yeah, you get it.
00:05:18Love you.
00:05:22I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:26If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:29Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:39The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:42We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:44I can't.
00:05:45My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:47After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:56At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:59I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:02Hey, Mom. How you doing?
00:06:04Oh, good, dear.
00:06:06I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:10Do you need more?
00:06:11No, no, no, no. You've already done so much.
00:06:14I'm just trying to help.
00:06:15I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:20Nikki, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:28I am, Mom.
00:06:30And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:37That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:39You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:42Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:44I gotta go.
00:06:45Love you.
00:06:45What is it, Mom?
00:06:50Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:52Our favorite leading man.
00:06:54Come on.
00:06:55Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.
00:07:09Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:13All right, cut.
00:07:20That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:23We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:27Sabrina was the rising star.
00:07:29I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:33Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:34If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:40If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:04It destroyed me.
00:08:14I was just the one.
00:08:16I was just the one.
00:08:29Maria, don't!
00:08:32Stay back.
00:08:34I mean it.
00:08:34Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:39Just...
00:08:40Just give me your hand.
00:08:55No!
00:08:57Daniel!
00:08:59I got you.
00:09:00No!
00:09:01Don't let me go!
00:09:03I won't ever let you go.
00:09:04I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:14Nobody sees around me.
00:09:15I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:17I see all of you.
00:09:19And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:21Good to see you.
00:09:22Good to see you.
00:09:30Good to see you.
00:09:31Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:32Oh, too long.
00:09:33Look at you!
00:09:35Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:38Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:40Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:41Are you kidding?
00:09:42Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:46Oh, there he is!
00:09:48The assistant!
00:09:49I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:53How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:58Stop!
00:09:59I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:05Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:09Daniel!
00:10:10Oh.
00:10:10Don't embarrass me.
00:10:11No, it's fine.
00:10:12I'm sorry.
00:10:12Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:17He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you think, you know?
00:10:21My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch you.
00:10:23He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:25Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:29What are you saying, huh?
00:10:30Yeah.
00:10:31Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:35It's fine.
00:10:36It's fine.
00:10:38Just relax, okay?
00:10:40Be nice.
00:10:47Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:55when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:58Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:10Oh, man, I'm careful.
00:11:12You all right?
00:11:14I'm still starving.
00:11:16Hey, make me some food.
00:11:18Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:21Stew?
00:11:22Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:25I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:28Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:31I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:35Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:38Well, babe, for real?
00:11:40Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:44Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:46I'm rich.
00:11:48Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:52I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:56See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:58You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:00You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:01They were so dull.
00:12:02These mysteries from my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:06Well, for you, Uncle Preston, it's a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:10So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant, my treat.
00:12:15Here we go.
00:12:16Here we go.
00:12:17What to do?
00:12:18Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:20I don't mind.
00:12:21I don't know if you insist.
00:12:22I mean, I'm already dressed, so...
00:12:24Okay.
00:12:25Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:31So...
00:12:32Anyways!
00:12:33Come in, let's go!
00:12:34That's great.
00:12:35Gotcha.
00:12:36Here we go.
00:12:37Thanks.
00:12:38Oh!
00:12:39There's...
00:12:40Paps.
00:12:41You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:43Last time.
00:12:44I promise.
00:12:46You're right.
00:12:48It is the last time.
00:12:51You guys?
00:12:52Hi!
00:12:53Jackson.
00:12:54Jackson.
00:12:55Hi!
00:12:56Jackson.
00:12:57I'm sorry.
00:12:58I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:13:03Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:06Contract sign.
00:13:07It's over.
00:13:08Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:13I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:18After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with that, but...
00:13:27Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:42She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:47Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:49I could scream. I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:52Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two be together since Breaking Ice.
00:13:56Oh, gee, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:59The scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:14:02Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:04Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:06Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:10All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:17Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:20They're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:22Your brand?
00:14:24It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:26You get it, right?
00:14:36So, you two are a thing?
00:14:38Well, I...
00:14:39Oh, it's okay, babe. We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:41This is so going viral.
00:14:52I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:54It looks like more than dating.
00:14:56Is this your son?
00:14:58I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:01Don't be silly.
00:15:02You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:04Hey, that's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:06He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:10But Preston is awesome.
00:15:13He's an action spy.
00:15:14I wish he was my dad.
00:15:17My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:20But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:26It's okay, buddy.
00:15:27Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:29If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:32That is if mom's school is it.
00:15:35Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:36Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:39Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:43Come on.
00:15:44Let's go to Michelle.
00:15:44Michelle.
00:15:44Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:05I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:08Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:14Daniel!
00:16:16You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:19On the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:23Daniel, he's here.
00:16:24Did he see us?
00:16:25Is he looking over here?
00:16:27Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:28I was just doing that for Lucy.
00:16:30I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:31Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:33Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:37Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:39Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:41Jackson, enough.
00:16:43What do I do?
00:16:45Well, that's it then.
00:16:48Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:49I need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:53I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:56You're really good at that.
00:16:58Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:02A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:07I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans, I will come after you with everything I've got.
00:17:16Daniel loves me. He has to understand.
00:17:18This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:17:20Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:29Daniel, what is this?
00:17:31I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:35All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:38Are you going somewhere?
00:17:40Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:43We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:47Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:48A vacation?
00:17:49Final. You're paying attention.
00:17:52Yeah.
00:17:53I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:55Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:57What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:59Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:00That's not what I meant.
00:18:02Whoa.
00:18:03Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:05That's fine.
00:18:06Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:09Just like any good husband would.
00:18:10Oh, look how you see.
00:18:12Is it me?
00:18:14Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:16I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:18I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:20You know what?
00:18:21Maybe I should go.
00:18:22I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:24No, please stay.
00:18:25I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:29No, you know what?
00:18:30I'll go.
00:18:31And clearly she wants you.
00:18:33I'm going to dance this soon.
00:18:34Daniel, wait.
00:18:37I won't ever let you go.
00:18:39He won't leave.
00:18:40He promised.
00:18:42It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:44We could pull up a chair and we can.
00:18:47I'm going to go back.
00:18:51Daniel.
00:18:56I'm here.
00:18:58Yeah.
00:19:01Oh.
00:19:03Oh, good.
00:19:04You're up.
00:19:05Look, um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:11It's fun.
00:19:12Well, don't look at me like that.
00:19:14I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:17Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:21How lucky for him.
00:19:23He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:25Oh, Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:30Listen, man, I have had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:36You can trust me.
00:19:39Preston, I think you're at the same time.
00:19:41You need to look out.
00:19:43All right.
00:19:46Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:48I, I, when you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:54I, I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:58Just ignore him.
00:19:59He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:00No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:04Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:06Jealous?
00:20:09My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:12Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:13You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:23That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:29Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:35God, God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:38Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:46No, it's not like that.
00:20:48I, I, what?
00:20:51You know what?
00:20:52Fine.
00:20:55The two look great together.
00:20:56Daniel, I,
00:20:57I,
00:20:57I,
00:20:57I,
00:20:57I,
00:21:08And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:17Um,
00:21:17I,
00:21:17I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:25Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:30I was never the homemaker.
00:21:35Please, Daniel.
00:21:38I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:56If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:59I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:02Look at her now.
00:22:16Playing house for another man.
00:22:18If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:22There he is.
00:22:41God,
00:22:41I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:44Man.
00:22:45No,
00:22:45I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:47Life of an A-lister,
00:22:48I guess.
00:22:49I've got some.
00:22:54What do you need?
00:22:55Oh,
00:22:55oh.
00:22:56Yeah,
00:22:56here you go.
00:22:57I'd often use some of this shit,
00:22:58but I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:00Yeah,
00:23:01this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:02Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:08Hey,
00:23:08uh,
00:23:09you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night,
00:23:12right?
00:23:12No.
00:23:15A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:18Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:22It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:26What's wrong,
00:23:37Jackson?
00:23:38Mr. Eastwood,
00:23:39I want to play with the fist,
00:23:41but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:43And it's unfair.
00:23:44That's a shame,
00:23:45huh?
00:23:45You know what?
00:23:46Let me grab it for you,
00:23:47little man.
00:23:48Here we go.
00:23:49Ooh.
00:23:51No.
00:23:51Not to play with that.
00:23:54You never let me do anything!
00:23:58Come on,
00:23:58it's just a fish tank,
00:24:00Daniel.
00:24:01Because he can afford an aquarium.
00:24:03It's not about the money.
00:24:04It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:07Unfortunately,
00:24:07he's surrounded by
00:24:08bad examples.
00:24:11Yeah?
00:24:12What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:14You're so annoying!
00:24:16Don't
00:24:17push.
00:24:21I said don't push.
00:24:24Go get a book or something.
00:24:25Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:27He's a Donovan,
00:24:28not some pathetic man-server like you.
00:24:31God,
00:24:31what the hell is he just showing me?
00:24:36Call it a lesson.
00:24:37I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:38He's not your kid.
00:24:40I wish I was.
00:24:42I hope mom buries him
00:24:43so you can be gone forever.
00:24:45I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:47Ouch.
00:24:48I mean,
00:24:49you just hurt your son,
00:24:50so why don't you make this
00:24:51little vacayers come then?
00:24:53Maybe it will be,
00:24:54but until then,
00:24:55I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:57I mean,
00:24:58you?
00:24:59Man of the house?
00:25:00Please.
00:25:01You're a pussy
00:25:02and an apron.
00:25:02I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden,
00:25:04much less a dad
00:25:05or a husband.
00:25:06And you're washed the pack.
00:25:08Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:10How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:12I heard your agents
00:25:13begging for scrap.
00:25:14I'm a fucking star!
00:25:16A star?
00:25:17A star that needs his ex
00:25:18to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:20Jackson, come on.
00:25:22I don't want you
00:25:22hanging around this clowning.
00:25:24No, I'm not going.
00:25:25Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:28Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:30Preston!
00:25:30You know, there's a reason we say
00:25:55everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:56What was that?
00:26:05Daniel!
00:26:06What is happening?
00:26:07It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:09Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:11What?
00:26:11You're so scared!
00:26:12That would be pretty good, baby.
00:26:14What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:16I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:17I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:18What?
00:26:19I didn't.
00:26:20Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:22You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:24I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:26He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:28It's just a fucking fish tank!
00:26:29Grow up!
00:26:30Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:32What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:35What?
00:26:35Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:39Maybe I should go.
00:26:40I'm sorry.
00:26:41No!
00:26:42Oh my God!
00:26:44He's lying!
00:26:45You're a monster!
00:26:48And in front of your son?
00:26:50You have to be kidding!
00:26:51We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:54We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:57Come on.
00:26:58Clean this up!
00:27:01Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:05She's mine now, loser.
00:27:15Hello, segment one.
00:27:17What's your emergency?
00:27:19I'm waiting now.
00:27:20I think I hit an hour.
00:27:22I think maybe it's now.
00:27:24Now!
00:27:34You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:27:39with liquid.
00:27:40To be honest, that's...
00:27:41I could use a break from home.
00:27:43Trouble with the missus?
00:27:45Uh...
00:27:47Yeah.
00:27:49Pretty obvious.
00:27:50Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:54I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:58Miss Preston Eastwood.
00:28:01True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:04I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:08You said, um, a couple?
00:28:10I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official!
00:28:14She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:20She was so sweet.
00:28:21You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:28No, it's my wound.
00:28:31I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:36Daniel!
00:28:38Sweet and caring.
00:28:41So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.
00:28:43But he only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:52Fuck you!
00:28:54Fuck you!
00:28:56I'm gonna get my shit out of here.
00:28:57Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:02You once liked my short film.
00:29:03I have a strip I've been sitting on.
00:29:13It needs the right producer.
00:29:15I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:18Where have you been?
00:29:22I kept calling.
00:29:23I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:26Huh?
00:29:30What?
00:29:31I've been busy.
00:29:32I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:35Seriously?
00:29:36Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:38I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:42Yeah.
00:29:43That's what you want to call it?
00:29:45Um, I, I just, I'm sorry.
00:29:49I, bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:57It is what it is.
00:30:00But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:04You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:08And I think you should go for it.
00:30:10I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:12But, I just, I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:20Seriously.
00:30:21I, I care about you.
00:30:27I'm the man.
00:30:30I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:31I know when you're angry.
00:30:33Really?
00:30:33I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:36I pay attention?
00:30:38Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:40She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:44That's all this marriage ever wants to her.
00:30:45A headline.
00:30:47A performance.
00:30:50Sabrina.
00:30:54Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:55You know what?
00:30:56I hate fighting.
00:30:57So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:00I was thinking, we could revisit your script.
00:31:04I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:10You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:12Well, yeah.
00:31:13The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:16The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:19I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:21Me and you.
00:31:22The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:24I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:30A long time ago.
00:31:32Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves
00:31:38into the script.
00:31:39Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:42There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:45I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:48Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:50I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and
00:32:11it was awful.
00:32:14Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how
00:32:17you like it.
00:32:18That's not what I meant.
00:32:20I like it when you make it.
00:32:24I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:28I knew it.
00:32:30You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:33I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:37It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:41Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:45It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:47No, Daniel.
00:32:48No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:50Look what you made me do.
00:32:59Just leave it.
00:33:01I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:05And what?
00:33:06It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:08I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:10And look what I get for it.
00:33:13You know what?
00:33:13Forget it.
00:33:15I heard from here.
00:33:16We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:17What?
00:33:33Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:35Yeah.
00:33:36Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:37Not quite.
00:33:38That was the divorce contract.
00:33:40But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:45This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:46Remember that.
00:33:47I'll text you the address.
00:33:48I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:05Oh, please.
00:34:06She's always been so secretive.
00:34:08I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:12Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:14I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:18Oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:23Come here.
00:34:28Jackson!
00:34:29We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:31Do you know where she is?
00:34:33Or who she's with?
00:34:35She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:36He's been staying with us.
00:34:39Really?
00:34:40Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:44Oh, I hope so.
00:34:45I really hope so.
00:34:46He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:49Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:53Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:02What are you doing here?
00:35:04You never come to these things.
00:35:06Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:09Get lost.
00:35:10You'll embarrass us.
00:35:11Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:13I'm your father.
00:35:14I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:19Is there a problem?
00:35:25Oh, my God.
00:35:27That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:28How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:32If that was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:35I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:36You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:38Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:39You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:45I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:47That's not what I see.
00:35:48You showed up uninvited.
00:35:51In street rags.
00:35:52Abused Sabrina's kid and pipped a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:56That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:00It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:03And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:08This was all stuff, wasn't it?
00:36:10You were revolting.
00:36:12No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:14Hey.
00:36:14How are you watching now?
00:36:18Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:22Yeah.
00:36:22Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:24Oh, yeah?
00:36:25What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:26You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:31Mm.
00:36:35Oh!
00:36:36Oh!
00:36:44What the hell?
00:36:55What happened?
00:36:57Oh, my God!
00:36:58Daniel!
00:36:59What the hell happened?
00:37:01Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:03Are you okay?
00:37:04Look at her go.
00:37:06Hollywood's finest.
00:37:08Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:11It's Daniel.
00:37:12He's a monster.
00:37:13He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:16Mommy!
00:37:17Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:20No.
00:37:21No, that's not true.
00:37:22If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:28Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:31Daniel.
00:37:33Is that true?
00:37:36Sabrina.
00:37:38Oh!
00:37:40Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:42I think one of them is broken.
00:37:45Sabrina.
00:37:46Honey.
00:37:47We need to help Preston.
00:37:50But...
00:37:51But Daniel.
00:37:54Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:57Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:11I...
00:38:12I have...
00:38:13I have to help Preston.
00:38:15I have to help Preston.
00:38:19I have to help Preston.
00:38:25Mommy.
00:38:30Magic.
00:38:37Daniel!
00:38:38I got you.
00:38:39Don't let me go.
00:38:41She's made her choice.
00:38:43There's no going back.
00:38:45We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of
00:38:49me slaving for her.
00:38:50Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:02Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:04I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:07There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:11Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:12In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living
00:39:22hell.
00:39:23Don't worry about it.
00:39:38Just try.
00:39:39I used to beg for her approval.
00:39:55Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:00Seriously?
00:40:01Say that.
00:40:02I don't want you to.
00:40:03Yeah.
00:40:04Oh.
00:40:05I'm going to call the doctor.
00:40:06Hey.
00:40:07Hey.
00:40:07What are you doing?
00:40:10I thought you were hurt.
00:40:12I think I'll pull through.
00:40:20So what are you doing?
00:40:22I've always wanted to.
00:40:24Come on.
00:40:25I know you want this.
00:40:26I see the way you look at me.
00:40:28How that Daniel's gone.
00:40:30We have the house to ourself.
00:40:32I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:34What am I doing?
00:40:45Daniel is still injured.
00:40:48He should be home.
00:40:52Sabrina?
00:40:52Kristen, get off.
00:41:05What?
00:41:06Hey, we can finally.
00:41:08Come on.
00:41:08I said get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:12No, forget about him.
00:41:14Look.
00:41:14I love Jackson.
00:41:17And I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:19I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:23I mean, come on.
00:41:24Sabrina, your son.
00:41:26Your mother.
00:41:27Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:29What?
00:41:31Look.
00:41:32He's already moved on.
00:41:36No.
00:41:37What have I done?
00:41:39Where is he?
00:41:40What about me?
00:41:41You had no chance.
00:41:43Ten years ago.
00:41:45I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:53Hello?
00:41:54Excuse me.
00:41:56Excuse me.
00:41:57Hi.
00:41:58Have you seen my husband?
00:42:00Please.
00:42:00He was the one bleeding out.
00:42:02I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:06He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:07I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:18Please try again later.
00:42:20What have I done?
00:42:32Come on, Daniel.
00:42:34Answer me.
00:42:35Answer me.
00:42:35Answer me.
00:42:35Answer me.
00:42:37Answer me.
00:42:40He's not gone.
00:42:42I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:53He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:42:57No.
00:43:01It's not possible.
00:43:03He will be back.
00:43:04Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:20Climb zero, Cassio, Jackson.
00:43:22The waves all spousal support.
00:43:25No, no, he can't leave me.
00:43:28He can't do this to me.
00:43:29I won't sign off on him.
00:43:34No, all this time, who's going to leave me?
00:44:00It can't be.
00:44:02It's not her.
00:44:05Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:06My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:08He loves me.
00:44:11He loves Jackson.
00:44:13He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:15We're his family.
00:44:17After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:44:20I got you.
00:44:43Don't let me go.
00:44:46Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:52Daniel?
00:44:54No, it's Mom.
00:44:55Is everything okay?
00:44:56He's not panicked.
00:44:57Mom.
00:44:59Mom.
00:45:01Daniel.
00:45:03He just left us.
00:45:05Do you know where he is?
00:45:07We have to find him.
00:45:09We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:11Oh, honey.
00:45:13It's over.
00:45:14Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:17You knew?
00:45:18I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:29I'm hungry.
00:45:31Dad, breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:35Jackson?
00:45:36I have something to tell you.
00:45:42Your dad.
00:45:45Your dad.
00:45:47He's left us.
00:45:49I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:52Yay, he's gone!
00:45:53He's gone!
00:45:55Why would you say that?
00:45:56It was so embarrassing.
00:45:58Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:45:59Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:01What did Preston say?
00:46:03He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:10He was so lame and boring.
00:46:12Now he's gone.
00:46:14Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:16He can be my new dad.
00:46:18Jackson, you have a dad.
00:46:21And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:23Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:32Hello?
00:46:33Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:35Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:37I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:39I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:40Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:45Was that done with your approval?
00:46:46No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:49Flag his name.
00:46:50I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:54Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:46:58Okay?
00:46:59He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:01Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:05And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:08What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:11Huh?
00:47:12It's despicable.
00:47:13I can't do this anymore.
00:47:15I'll cancel everything.
00:47:18The interviews, the red carpets.
00:47:20I don't want to be seen.
00:47:23I can't pretend.
00:47:25I just want him back.
00:47:27Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:47:31You don't love him anyway.
00:47:34Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:39What?
00:47:41How could you say something like that?
00:47:43Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:46He cares for me.
00:47:47He sees me.
00:47:48He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:52But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:56Daniel's my husband.
00:47:58And the father of my son.
00:47:59Yeah, some husband.
00:48:01Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:48:03Just wanting nothing to do with his child just because I contraended?
00:48:06Contract?
00:48:08What contract?
00:48:14What are you talking about?
00:48:16Forget it.
00:48:17Forget it.
00:48:18Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:20When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:26Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:28Please.
00:48:29I just want the truth.
00:48:31Mom.
00:48:33Fine.
00:48:33I will tell you the truth.
00:48:36But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:40I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:43But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:50When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:54I had to save you.
00:48:56She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:48:57You've always been there for her.
00:49:02From film school to now.
00:49:03I've seen it.
00:49:05She needs you.
00:49:06Stay.
00:49:08Marry her.
00:49:08Love her.
00:49:10So that she's never alone again.
00:49:18It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:22How could you do this to me?
00:49:24I wanted to protect you.
00:49:26You wanted to control me.
00:49:28All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:32Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:37You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:41Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:43He kept you together.
00:49:45Where?
00:49:46Where did he go?
00:49:48I know he told you where he went.
00:49:50Where is he?
00:49:51You can do better than him.
00:49:53You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:49:55Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:49:57Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:00No!
00:50:00He can't be gone.
00:50:02He can't!
00:50:03Yes, he is gone.
00:50:04And he is gone forever.
00:50:06He can't be!
00:50:08He can't be gone!
00:50:09He can't!
00:50:10I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of how the Team Silver Fox has already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:24Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:43Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:50What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:53Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own sheet.
00:50:56Nobody told me how.
00:50:58Oh, man.
00:50:59How comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:01I've heard this talk in the sequel.
00:51:04Uh, yeah.
00:51:04Um, god, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:08And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:10I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:12But London?
00:51:14London lit the fire under me.
00:51:16And I feel like I found my voice.
00:51:18And it really is.
00:51:20A little steam ahead.
00:51:21Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:25Hollywood.
00:51:30Get out of the country.
00:51:32If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:42Daniel?
00:51:55He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:00Daniel is a true otter and a creative genius.
00:52:05And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:08That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress
00:52:13and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:16Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:20We'll never tell.
00:52:21Oh, my God, thanks for saving me.
00:52:27She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:29I know.
00:52:30Jeez.
00:52:31This is so surreal.
00:52:32I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:52:34I can.
00:52:35The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:40Daniel.
00:52:41Enjoy this.
00:52:43And get used to compliments.
00:52:46There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:48Fuck.
00:52:49Finish me.
00:52:49I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:51You okay?
00:52:55You always do that when you're nervous.
00:52:57I bet so.
00:52:58I'll have it.
00:53:00Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:05Someone's just got a head start.
00:53:18Hello.
00:53:18I'll press this good press.
00:53:21I'll press this good press.
00:53:26Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:53:31bitch?
00:53:32Ugh.
00:53:34You can't do this to me!
00:53:36Sabrina.
00:53:37You don't need him.
00:53:38Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:40How can you move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:43Move on?
00:53:44Oh, please, honey.
00:53:46He is using her.
00:53:48Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:51He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:54How could you say that?
00:53:55I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:53:59He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:02Don't you see it?
00:54:03Sabrina.
00:54:04Look at what you've got.
00:54:06A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:11Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:13And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:15Your dream man.
00:54:17You have everything.
00:54:19I don't have him.
00:54:22Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:23Go have the chef make something.
00:54:25No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:28Why didn't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:30Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:32He's your dad.
00:54:33No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:36Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:39It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:41When did he get so cruel?
00:54:44You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:47A doormat.
00:54:49Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:51Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:53Enough, you little shit.
00:54:57Enough.
00:54:58Just enough.
00:54:59Sabrina, what's gotten into you?
00:55:02Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:06Whoa.
00:55:07What's going on here?
00:55:09This room feels really tense.
00:55:10Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:13I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:14No.
00:55:15I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:18And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:21It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:55:28Hey, babe.
00:55:29Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:32Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:33Really?
00:55:34Loser?
00:55:35Yeah.
00:55:35You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:39And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:44That's really, really low.
00:55:50Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:55:55Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:55:57To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:01Face it, Preston.
00:56:02You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:05And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:08Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:10You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:12I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:15Because you know what?
00:56:17Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:18It's not like that.
00:56:20Okay, look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:23I want to marry you.
00:56:25We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:27What's my birthday?
00:56:29Huh?
00:56:30What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:32What's my favorite color?
00:56:33My favorite song?
00:56:34Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:37Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:38What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:40You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:43You don't love me.
00:56:44You don't even know me.
00:56:46This isn't a relationship.
00:56:48This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:51And you know what?
00:56:52I'm done.
00:56:53Get out.
00:56:54I don't want to ever see you again.
00:56:56We're over.
00:56:58We're over.
00:56:59Hey, babe, come on.
00:57:01Please.
00:57:01Please, I love you.
00:57:02Just think about it.
00:57:04Look at the press.
00:57:05What this will look like.
00:57:06If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:11Get out.
00:57:12Babe, just...
00:57:12Now.
00:57:13Just give me your hand.
00:57:14Come on.
00:57:14No.
00:57:15I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:19Nobody sees the real thing.
00:57:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:22I see all of you.
00:57:25And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:28He truly knew me.
00:57:31He loved me.
00:57:33Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:57:40I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:43Saved me?
00:57:44I mean, you don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:48Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:49And he saved me from you.
00:57:53Security!
00:57:55Security!
00:57:56Come on, let's talk about this.
00:57:58Come on, Celeste, do something!
00:58:01Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:03Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:04Was that really necessary?
00:58:07I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:11Is that all you care about?
00:58:13The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:58:17God!
00:58:18You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:23Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:26Of course I care about you.
00:58:28I love you.
00:58:30Then prove it.
00:58:31If you ever want me in front of the camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:36You'll have to forgive me, Miss Julie.
00:58:50I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:53In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:58:59I mean, you know this.
00:59:00You're a legend.
00:59:02I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:03All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:05You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:07I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:09I got projects.
00:59:10Come on!
00:59:11You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters,
00:59:15the one that gets made in L.A., not London.
00:59:17That's where you belong.
00:59:18To be honest, I already did all right.
00:59:22It didn't really end well.
00:59:23Let me guess.
00:59:24A girl?
00:59:26If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:31You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:34You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:38You've given me a lot to think about.
00:59:39Three-picture deal.
00:59:41$200 million budget each.
00:59:42Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:45I don't know what to say.
00:59:46Just say yes.
00:59:47You have my number.
00:59:48Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:51Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:52You can't run away from the past.
00:59:54You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:07Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:10Can we talk?
01:00:11Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:16Of course.
01:00:17It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:22Is this a personal story?
01:00:24Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:27Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:31Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:35Oh, you arrogant little shit.
01:00:39I told you if you ever sat put in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:43It's less, Donovan.
01:00:49I need a favor.
01:00:51I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:57It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:02Mom?
01:01:02What are you doing?
01:01:03Did you just break my TV?
01:01:09Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:13You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:14You've been so kind, though.
01:01:16Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:21He's back.
01:01:23Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:25Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:28I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:31I need to get on that movie.
01:01:33Absolutely.
01:01:33You're not.
01:01:34You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:36If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:39Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:42He still loves me.
01:01:45He has to.
01:01:47I just need to talk to him.
01:01:49Let him go.
01:01:53Mom.
01:01:55Honey, I...
01:01:57You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:00I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:03I love you.
01:02:07I love you, too.
01:02:11Here we go.
01:02:13This is, um...
01:02:15It's another movie deal.
01:02:16I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:18Did you get his location?
01:02:35The Oaks.
01:02:37A-D-M.
01:02:39After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:43It will be a race from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:55She's not protecting me.
01:02:57She's protecting her business.
01:02:59And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:00But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:04It's so nice having you back.
01:03:08And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:10Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:12A couple?
01:03:14Daniel, it was ten years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:18If you can even call them that.
01:03:19You're healthy now.
01:03:20And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:22I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:28To marriage, to kids.
01:03:30I mean, we really tried.
01:03:31I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:03:35It's over.
01:03:37It's over.
01:03:37I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:49Oh.
01:03:50You haven't heard?
01:03:53She dumped him.
01:03:54It was all over People magazine.
01:03:56She ended it when his star faded.
01:04:00Oh, my God, it was.
01:04:01Daniel!
01:04:10Stop!
01:04:18Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:04:20I'm here to help you.
01:04:22Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:04:25Let's go home.
01:04:26Sabrina?
01:04:27How could you?
01:04:28What?
01:04:28I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:32I begged and pleaded.
01:04:34Stop lying.
01:04:35I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:40And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:45My God.
01:04:46You're disgusting.
01:04:48I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:49Not anymore.
01:04:51Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:55I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:04:59I'm your mother.
01:05:01I only want what's best for you.
01:05:04What's best for me?
01:05:07You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:12That all ends today.
01:05:17You're fired.
01:05:19You're fired.
01:05:20No.
01:05:24No.
01:05:29No.
01:05:30You can't do this to me.
01:05:32Please.
01:05:32Please, sweetie.
01:05:33I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:35You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:40I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:42You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:45There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:49I made you.
01:05:50You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:55I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:03We're done here, Mom.
01:06:05If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:13Without another word.
01:06:14I'm sorry.
01:06:19I have something to say.
01:06:29I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:31I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:35I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:39I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:49Apologize to your father.
01:06:51Do I have to?
01:06:52Who raised you?
01:06:55Cared for you?
01:06:58Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:01Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:05He did.
01:07:07He loved you.
01:07:08But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:10I was wrong.
01:07:12Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:17And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:21I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:25It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:27I love you.
01:07:29Okay.
01:07:30Come on, Jackson.
01:07:31Let's go.
01:07:32Let's go.
01:07:32Let's go.
01:07:32Let's go.
01:07:33Let's go.
01:07:38I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:41For everything.
01:07:51I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:54You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:56No.
01:07:58I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:01They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:03They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:11People can change.
01:08:14But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:15And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:27Daniel!
01:08:27Daniel!
01:08:28Daniel!
01:08:29I'm here, Daniel!
01:08:30Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars were both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:36Yes.
01:08:37I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:42But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:46I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:56Way to go, John!
01:08:57Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:19We'll keep it up.
01:09:19How many more do we have today?
01:09:2840, sir.
01:09:29Jesus.
01:09:30Hey, boy!
01:09:31How are we looking?
01:09:32Still digging?
01:09:33Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:37I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:41All right, here's the deal.
01:09:42The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:46Today?
01:09:47Are you fucking cute?
01:09:48That's why I love you, man.
01:09:49Cool under pressure.
01:09:51This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:09:57Oh, my God.
01:09:57All right, just bring the next one.
01:09:59But that would be Emily Blake.
01:10:06Emily.
01:10:11Emily.
01:10:12Amazing, as always.
01:10:14You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:17Please.
01:10:18I wasn't gonna miss a shot too much for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:23How's L.A. treating you?
01:10:25Oh, my God.
01:10:26Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:29But I am...
01:10:30I'm glad to be back.
01:10:32Well, it's no English countryside.
01:10:34Yeah.
01:10:34But it sits you.
01:10:36You definitely belong here.
01:10:42I do miss you, though.
01:10:44It was fun.
01:10:46Playing the part.
01:10:48British starlet.
01:10:49American director.
01:10:50I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:54I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:58I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:01It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:11:04You...
01:11:05You were amazing, as always.
01:11:07It's just...
01:11:09It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:12I never was, was I?
01:11:17Anyways...
01:11:17Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:20Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:21Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:36Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:40And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:47Oh, my God.
01:11:49What am I going to do?
01:11:51That was quick.
01:12:07What are you doing here?
01:12:10I came to audition.
01:12:14Did you bring any representation?
01:12:16No.
01:12:17I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:19I'm starting fresh.
01:12:22Right, um...
01:12:26Hi.
01:12:28I'm Serena Donovan.
01:12:32Don't let me go!
01:12:34I got you.
01:12:35I'll never let you go.
01:12:38Are you okay?
01:12:40Yeah.
01:12:40It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:43never really healed.
01:12:44It's an old wound.
01:12:47I understand.
01:12:51Daniel Johnson.
01:12:54Nice to meet you.
01:12:58Please.
01:13:07Whenever you're ready.
01:13:07I don't know.
01:13:08Okay.
01:13:13To be honest.
01:13:15Unless you're in love.
01:13:17Don't let me go.
01:13:17You're welcome.
01:13:18I'll never see you before.
01:13:20I'll never get along.
01:13:21You're welcome.
01:13:23To be honest.
01:13:25I'll never get to know them.
01:13:26I finish.
