Short filmTranscript
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.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:28Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:41You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:47Our 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.
00:01:02I'll always love my son.
00:01:03But 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.
00:01:12America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide. All 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.
00:01:31Stay.
00:01:32Marry her.
00:01:34Love 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.
00:01:45If 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.
00:01:55Mom, Daniel.
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:02What's going on?
00:02:03Honey.
00:02:06I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:10If the paparazzi catch him next to you, oh.
00:02:13But I need to go.
00:02:15I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:18Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:24Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:30Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:32Ugh, can it wait?
00:02:34I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw it.
00:02:41Preston 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.
00:02:54When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:59No!
00:03:00I want to eat now!
00:03:12You 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 that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:24I've got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:29Ew!
00:03:30What is this?
00:03:31It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:33I don't want healthy food.
00:03:35I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:36Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:38You can't have that every day.
00:03:40It'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!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:51I waited.
00:04:01I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:05And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:17I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:27Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:43Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:45We'll get you some real food.
00:04:46Seriously.
00:04:52You're the only job 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?
00:05:05It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever.
00:05:07My mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:08It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:11Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:17And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:21Yeah, you get it.
00:05:22Love you.
00:05:26I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:44The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:46We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:51After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At 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.
00:06:07How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:10I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:18I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:20But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24Mickey, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, Mom.
00:06:34And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42You're wonderful, dear.
00:06:43You 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?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:06:59Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.
00:07:13Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:17All right, cut.
00:07:24That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was the rising star.
00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:37Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:39If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:44If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:08:09You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:19Just let the love.
00:08:33Sabrina, don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:37I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:44Just...
00:08:45Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:05No!
00:09:06Don't let me go!
00:09:07I won't ever let you go.
00:09:14I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:21I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:25Good to see you.
00:09:26Good to see you.
00:09:35Oh, my gosh.
00:09:36How long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:39Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:43Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:46Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:50Oh, there he is!
00:09:52The assistant!
00:09:54I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:57How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:02Stop!
00:10:03I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into
00:10:08our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel!
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:15No, it's fine.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:33What are you saying, huh?
00:10:34Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:53Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:11:00again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:06Oh, careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:27Ew.
00:11:27What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets.
00:11:32Daniel.
00:11:33If 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.
00:11:45My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:50I'm rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:56I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:03You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:05They were so dull.
00:12:07Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything.
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston's a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:15So how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21What to do?
00:12:22Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28So.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:32Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:36So.
00:12:37Anyways.
00:12:38Come on, Ben.
00:12:38Let's go.
00:12:40Let's carry on you.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:41Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:49I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:54It is the last time.
00:12:56Guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:00Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract signed.
00:13:13It's over.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is there 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:30Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:51Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood?
00:13:57I 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 kissed at the hockey rink.
00:14:04A 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?
00:14:10Oh, 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, right?
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.
00:14:58It looks like more than dating.
00:15:01Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:06You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:08That'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.
00:15:18I 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 afterparty 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 school is it.
00:15:38Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:40Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on, then.
00:15:48Let's get Michelle.
00:16:05Now 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.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23And 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?
00:16:31Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:32I was just doing that for Lucy.
00:16:34I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture, 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.
00:16:48What 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 spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:00You're really good at that.
00:17:02Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:17I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:22This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:43Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:48We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:52A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks 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 at 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.
00:18:33Now, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:37I'm going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:39I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:50I'm going to go back.
00:18:55Daniel!
00:18:56Oh, good.
00:19:08You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:15It's fun.
00:19:17But don't look at me like that.
00:19:18I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:21Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, man.
00:19:36I...
00:19:36I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and...
00:19:39What happened?
00:19:40You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're...
00:19:45Mm-hmm.
00:19:46You need to get out.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:48Oh, but hey.
00:19:50Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:52When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:58I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:08Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:13My 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.
00:20:33Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:38God, God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:50No, it's not like that.
00:20:52I...
00:20:53What?
00:20:55You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:01And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:21Um...
00:21:22I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:28Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:34I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:50No.
00:21:53I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:58If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:03I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:18Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:26There he is.
00:22:45God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:48Man, no, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-Lister, I guess.
00:22:56We've got some.
00:22:57Yeah.
00:22:59What do you mean?
00:22:59Oh, oh.
00:23:00Yeah, there you go.
00:23:02I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:08Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:18No.
00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:22Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:24It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:40What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:42Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:44I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:47And it's unfair!
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:50Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:53Ooh.
00:23:55No!
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.
00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:08It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:15Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:18You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:23I said don't push.
00:24:28Go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-serving.
00:24:34You're not the house.
00:24:36Just shut up.
00:24:37Call it a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching a kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:42He's not your kid.
00:24:44I wish I was.
00:24:46I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:51Ouch.
00:24:52I mean, you just hurt your son.
00:24:54So why don't you make this little vacay of yours perfect?
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:03Man of the house?
00:25:04Please.
00:25:05You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed the pack.
00:25:12Still writing on all your old headlines.
00:25:14How are your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:16I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm a fucking star!
00:25:20A star?
00:25:21A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:25Jackson, come on.
00:25:26I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:28No, I'm not going.
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:44You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:09Daniel!
00:26:10What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:15I'm so scared!
00:26:17That'd be pretty good, baby.
00:26:18What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:21I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:23What?
00:26:23I didn't.
00:26:24Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:28I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:33Bro, I'm up.
00:26:34Remember we're in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What?
00:26:39Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:43Maybe I should go on, I'm sorry.
00:26:45No!
00:26:46Oh my God!
00:26:48He's lying!
00:26:50You're a monster!
00:26:52And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding!
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57Sure.
00:26:58We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:02Clean this up!
00:27:03Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:20Hello?
00:27:21What's your emergency?
00:27:23Wait, now.
00:27:24I think I hit an artery.
00:27:26I need an ambulance now.
00:27:28Now!
00:27:28You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:27:43with liquid.
00:27:44To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:47Trouble with the missus?
00:27:49Uh, yeah.
00:27:53Pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:28:03With Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:08I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:12You said, um, a couple?
00:28:14I 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.
00:28:29Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:32No, it's...
00:28:35It's my wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:40Daniel!
00:28:41Sweet and caring, so Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it, and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:56Fuck you!
00:28:58Fuck you!
00:29:00I'm going to get my shit and go.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:07I have a strip I've been sitting on.
00:29:09I don't know if I've been sitting on it.
00:29:18It needs the right producer.
00:29:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:24Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:30Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:35I've been busy.
00:29:36I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:38Oh, seriously, why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:50I...
00:29:51I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry, I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:58It is what it is.
00:30:03But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:07You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:12And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:16But I just...
00:30:18I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:25I...
00:30:26I care about you.
00:30:31I'm not mad.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:44She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking.
00:31:06We could revisit your script.
00:31:11I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah.
00:31:17The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:25Me and you.
00:31:27The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:30I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes?
00:31:39And for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:43Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:46There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:52Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:32:18I've had a lot of experience making it for you.
00:32:20I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:32I knew it.
00:32:34You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:40God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:49It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:01Just leave it.
00:33:05I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:09And what?
00:33:10It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I have a mirror.
00:33:20Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:22What?
00:33:38Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:40Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:41Not quite.
00:33:42That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:50Remember that.
00:33:51I'll text you the address with Mimi.
00:34:04I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:10She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Oh, wow.
00:34:25If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:28Oh.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:33We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:35Do you know where she is?
00:34:37Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:40He's been staying with us.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:53Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:06What are you doing here?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:11Get lost!
00:35:14You embarrass us!
00:35:15Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad!
00:35:24Is there a problem?
00:35:30Oh, my God.
00:35:31That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flat over Preston?
00:35:36If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:40You're a pathetic loser!
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and head out,
00:35:46because we're starting to make a scene.
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:53You showed up uninvited, in street rags,
00:35:56abused Sabrina's kid, and pit 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.
00:36:07And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all I stopped with, then.
00:36:14You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:20How do you watch her now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:28Oh, yeah?
00:36:29What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:30You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on
00:36:33so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:57What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:00Oh, my God!
00:37:02Daniel!
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:17He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:20Mommy!
00:37:21Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:31Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel, is that true?
00:37:38Sabrina.
00:37:38I think you got me in the ribs.
00:37:46I think one of them is broken.
00:37:49Sabrina?
00:37:50Honey?
00:37:51We need to help Preston.
00:37:54But Daniel.
00:37:56Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:13Mommy, please.
00:38:14We can't leave him.
00:38:15I, I have, I have to help Preston.
00:38:33Come out, Jackson.
00:38:41Daniel!
00:38:41I got you.
00:38:43Don't let me go.
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:47There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:39:01Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:10There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:21If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:25I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:27Don't worry about it.
00:39:42Just dry.
00:39:43Don't worry about it.
00:39:44Just dry.
00:39:45I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:59Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:02Seriously?
00:40:06So long.
00:40:07I know.
00:40:07What is it?
00:40:08Damn.
00:40:08Oh.
00:40:09I'm going to call the doctor.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:14What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:17Listen, what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:28Come on.
00:40:29I know you want this.
00:40:30I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:38What am I doing?
00:40:50Daniel is still injured.
00:40:52He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Listen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally come here.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:18Look.
00:41:19I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:23I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:28I mean, come on.
00:41:28Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:31Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:34What?
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:39No.
00:41:40No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:43Where is he?
00:41:44What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:53Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:00Excuse me.
00:42:01Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please.
00:42:05Here was someone bleeding out.
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:10He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:12Oh, no.
00:42:16Captain, where are you?
00:42:18I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:22Please try again later.
00:42:25What have I done?
00:42:36Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:45He's not gone.
00:42:46I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:57He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:01No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:07He will be back.
00:43:10No.
00:43:11Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero, got zero, or Jackson.
00:43:26The waves all spousal support.
00:43:30No.
00:43:30No, he can't leave me.
00:43:32He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on him.
00:43:35No.
00:43:35No.
00:43:36No.
00:43:36No.
00:43:36No.
00:43:37No.
00:43:37No.
00:43:38No.
00:43:38No.
00:43:39No.
00:43:39No.
00:43:40No.
00:43:40No.
00:43:41All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:44:05It can't be.
00:44:08It's not a...
00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:19We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:44:24I got you.
00:44:34I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go!
00:44:50Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:53Daniel?
00:44:53No.
00:44:54It's mom.
00:44:54It's mom.
00:44:55It's mom.
00:44:56It's mom.
00:44:56It's mom.
00:44:57It's mom.
00:44:58It's mom.
00:44:58It's mom.
00:44:59It's mom.
00:45:00It's mom.
00:45:01It's mom.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:03Mom.
00:45:04Daniel.
00:45:05Daniel.
00:45:06He just left us.
00:45:08He just left us.
00:45:10Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him.
00:45:13We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:15Oh, honey, it's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry! Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:39Taxi?
00:45:42I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:49Your dad.
00:45:51He's left us.
00:45:53I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay, he's gone! He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01He was so embarrassing. Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:05What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:13He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone. Mr. Eastwood is way cooler. He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson, you have a dad. He's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:27Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:44Large thumbs have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:01Okay? He's not the man you think he is. Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there. And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:12What kind of coward abandons his family? Huh? It's despicable.
00:47:17I can't do this anymore. I'll cancel everything. The interviews and the red carpets. I don't want to be seen. I can't pretend. I just want him back.
00:47:31Oh, honey. It's time to let him go. You don't love him anyway. And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that? Of course I love Daniel. He cares for me. He sees me. He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:59Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband. Abandoning you without a moment's notice. Wanting nothing to do with this child just because the contract ended?
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:14What are you talking about?
00:48:21Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please. I just want the truth.
00:48:35Mom.
00:48:36Fine.
00:48:37I will tell you the truth.
00:48:40But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:48But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:51When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:58I had to save you.
00:49:00She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:04You've always been there for her.
00:49:06From film school to now.
00:49:08I've seen it.
00:49:09She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:13So that she's never alone again.
00:49:22It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:26How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:30You wanted to control me.
00:49:32All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:37You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:46Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you where he went.
00:49:54Where is he?
00:49:55You can do better than him.
00:49:57You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:04No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't.
00:50:07Yes, he is gone.
00:50:09And he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:12He can't be gone.
00:50:13He can't.
00:50:34I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere.
00:50:36of how the Tame Silver Fox has already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:44Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:50Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:54What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:56Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own seat.
00:51:00Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:07Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest
00:51:14about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost, I almost gave up the dream, but London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like
00:51:21I found my voice, and it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Uh, speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:51:29back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:33Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living
00:51:43hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:47He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:12That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, a two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:52:16actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh, my God, thanks for saving me.
00:52:31She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:39Daniel, the moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel, enjoy this and get used to compliments.
00:52:50There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me out.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01I'm a bit so.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:03Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:09Silver's just got a head start.
00:53:10I know.
00:53:24Our press is good press.
00:53:30Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:53:33and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:36He can't do this to me.
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:42Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:55He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:53:59I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:09Look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:19Your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:33Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:38No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:46When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:57You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:11What'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.
00:55:18No!
00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:55:32Hey, babe.
00:55:33Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:36Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:48That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:38Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:00We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:04No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please.
00:57:05Please, I love you.
00:57:06Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:10If I have to call my security,
00:57:13all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Babe, just...
00:57:16Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:18Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never...
00:57:30I've heard that, uh,
00:57:31your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:57:33We'll never tell.
00:57:37Oh, my God.
00:57:39They do not.
00:57:40He truly loved me.
00:57:42I know.
00:57:43Jeez.
00:57:44This is so surreal.
00:57:45I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:57:47I can.
00:57:49The moment I read your script,
00:57:50I knew you were special.
00:57:53Daniel.
00:57:55Enjoy this.
00:57:57And get used to compliments.
00:57:59There's already Oscar buzz.
00:58:01Fuck.
00:58:02Finish me.
00:58:02I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:58:06You okay?
00:58:08You're the sexiest man alive.
00:58:10Is that all you care about?
00:58:12I'll have it.
00:58:13Well, the world's about to meet
00:58:15its new favorite filmmaker.
00:58:18So, the rest just got a head start.
00:58:31Matthew?
00:58:33That price is good price.
00:58:44You'll have to forgive me, Miss Julie.
00:58:46I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:48In film school,
00:58:50we were literally told to watch
00:58:51every single film that you ever produced.
00:58:54I mean, you know this.
00:58:55You're a legend.
00:58:57I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:58:58All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:00You're a powerhouse sitting idol
00:59:01in the wrong country.
00:59:03I appreciate the compliment,
00:59:04but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:05I got projects.
00:59:05Come on.
00:59:06You're built for billion-dollar franchises,
00:59:09Hollywood blockbusters,
00:59:10the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:59:11not London.
00:59:12That's where you belong.
00:59:15To be honest,
00:59:15I already did L.A.
00:59:17It didn't really end well.
00:59:19Let me guess.
00:59:20My girl?
00:59:21If by a girl,
00:59:22he means Hollywood royalty,
00:59:24Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:26You don't walk away from a gift like yours
00:59:28over some heartbreak.
00:59:29You can become a household name,
00:59:31and I can get you there.
00:59:33You've given me a lot to think about.
00:59:34A three-picture deal.
00:59:36Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:38Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:40I don't know what to say.
00:59:41Just say yes.
00:59:42You have my number.
00:59:44Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:46Just remember, Daniel,
00:59:47you can't run away from the past.
00:59:49You have to face it
00:59:50and tell the fuck off.
00:59:51Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:06Can we talk?
01:00:07Daniel, can you give us a hint
01:00:09about your first movie
01:00:10with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:12Of course.
01:00:12It's about a man
01:00:13who gets fucked over
01:00:14by America's sweetheart
01:00:15and comes out on top.
01:00:17Is this a personal story?
01:00:19Will we get a hint
01:00:20at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:22Oh.
01:00:25She knows who she is.
01:00:27Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:31You arrogant little shit.
01:00:34I told you,
01:00:35if you ever sat put
01:00:36in this fucking country,
01:00:37I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:43It's Les Donovan.
01:00:45I need a favor.
01:00:46I need you to track down
01:00:47Daniel Johnson
01:00:48to find out where he'll be
01:00:49around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:52It's time for a little reunion
01:00:54with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:57Mom?
01:00:58What are you doing?
01:01:02Did you just break my TV?
01:01:05Can you give us a name
01:01:06for your upcoming film?
01:01:08You know how
01:01:08I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:10You've been so kind, though.
01:01:11Um, it's called
01:01:12You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:14He's back.
01:01:17Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:20Honey,
01:01:22I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:23I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:26I need to get on that movie.
01:01:28Absolutely not.
01:01:30You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:31If you don't get me an audition,
01:01:33then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:34Honey,
01:01:35I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:37He still loves me.
01:01:40He has to.
01:01:42I just need to talk to him.
01:01:44Let him go.
01:01:48Mom.
01:01:49Honey,
01:01:51I...
01:01:51You know,
01:01:53I just want what's best for you.
01:01:55Right?
01:01:56I just don't want to see
01:01:57my little girl hurt again.
01:02:00I love you.
01:02:02I love you, too.
01:02:06Here we go.
01:02:08This is, um...
01:02:10It's another movie deal.
01:02:11I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:13Okay.
01:02:19Did you get his location?
01:02:31The Oaks.
01:02:328 p.m.
01:02:34After I'm done with him,
01:02:35Daniel Johnson won't just be
01:02:37blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:39He'll be erased from
01:02:40Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:49She's not protecting me.
01:02:52She's protecting her business.
01:02:54And I'm just a pawn.
01:02:56But if she wants a scandal,
01:02:58she'll get one.
01:03:00So nice having you back.
01:03:03And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:05Yeah, it's been a rough couple years,
01:03:07hasn't it?
01:03:07A couple?
01:03:09Daniel, it was 10 years
01:03:10of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:13If you can even call them that.
01:03:14But you're healthy now.
01:03:15And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:18I mean, yeah,
01:03:18there was a time that I
01:03:19I love Sabrina,
01:03:20but I really thought
01:03:22I could make it work.
01:03:23To marriage, to kids.
01:03:25I mean, we really tried.
01:03:27I thought I could make it go for it,
01:03:28but, um,
01:03:30it's over.
01:03:32It's over.
01:03:33I mean, let her
01:03:33chase whatever fantasy
01:03:35she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:44Oh.
01:03:45You haven't heard?
01:03:46She dumped him.
01:03:49It was all over People magazine.
01:03:51She ended it when his star faded.
01:03:55Oh, my gosh.
01:03:56What?
01:04:02Daniel!
01:04:05Stop!
01:04:06Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:04:16I'm here to help you.
01:04:17Sabrina,
01:04:18we are making a scene.
01:04:20Let's go home.
01:04:21Sabrina?
01:04:22How could you?
01:04:23What?
01:04:23I just came to ask Daniel
01:04:25if he'd let you audition,
01:04:26but he said no.
01:04:27I begged and pleaded.
01:04:29Stop lying.
01:04:31I saw you bribe the waiter
01:04:33to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:35And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too,
01:04:37to catch him drugged out of his mind
01:04:39and ruin him.
01:04:40My God.
01:04:42You're disgusting.
01:04:43I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:44Not anymore.
01:04:45Why did you become such a conniving,
01:04:49scheming snake?
01:04:51I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:04:54I'm your mother.
01:04:56I only want what's best for you.
01:04:59What's best for me?
01:05:00You've been controlling my life
01:05:04ever since you knew
01:05:05you could profit from it.
01:05:07That all ends today.
01:05:12You're fired.
01:05:14Fired.
01:05:16No.
01:05:19No.
01:05:24No.
01:05:25You can't do this to me.
01:05:27Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:28I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:30You dedicated your life to money
01:05:32and to fame.
01:05:35I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:38You think you can survive
01:05:39on sheer talent?
01:05:41There's a thousand girls more talented
01:05:42than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:44I made you.
01:05:46You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:50I think she'll do just fine.
01:05:58We're done here, Mom.
01:06:00If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life
01:06:03or in mine,
01:06:06you'll leave now.
01:06:08Without another word.
01:06:09I have something to say.
01:06:21I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:27I'm sorry I took you for granted
01:06:28all of those years.
01:06:30I'm sorry I let my mom
01:06:32manipulate and use you.
01:06:34I'm sorry I brought Preston
01:06:37into our home
01:06:38and poisoned our son
01:06:40towards you.
01:06:44Apologize to your father.
01:06:46Do I have to?
01:06:48Who raised you?
01:06:50Cared for you?
01:06:53Packed your lunches
01:06:54when I was on set?
01:06:56Laid with you
01:06:57when you had nightmares
01:06:58and coddled you
01:06:59when you were sick?
01:07:00He did.
01:07:01He loved you.
01:07:03But you treated him
01:07:04like he was nothing.
01:07:05I was wrong.
01:07:07Jackson,
01:07:08he gave us 10 years
01:07:09of his life
01:07:10and we abused it.
01:07:12And now there is
01:07:13nothing we can do
01:07:14to take that back.
01:07:16I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:17It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:23I love you.
01:07:24Okay.
01:07:25Come on, Jackson.
01:07:26Let's go.
01:07:34I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:36For everything.
01:07:39It's all right.
01:07:40I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:49You're thinking
01:07:50of going back to them.
01:07:51No.
01:07:54I just didn't know
01:07:55it would be this hard.
01:07:56They hurt you, Daniel.
01:07:58They tore you to pieces
01:08:01and then just expected
01:08:02you to come running back.
01:08:06People can change.
01:08:07But that doesn't
01:08:10change the past.
01:08:14And the Oscar goes to
01:08:16Daniel Johnson
01:08:17for his original screenplay,
01:08:19Loving Her.
01:08:22Daniel!
01:08:23Daniel!
01:08:23Daniel!
01:08:24I'm here, Daniel!
01:08:25Daniel, is it true
01:08:26that the script
01:08:27that won you Oscars
01:08:28for both writing
01:08:29and directing
01:08:29sat on a shelf
01:08:30for 10 years?
01:08:31Yes.
01:08:32I'll admit
01:08:33I got a little sidelined,
01:08:34but I think
01:08:35I found my way back.
01:08:37But, okay,
01:08:39I'll tell you this.
01:08:41I don't think
01:08:42you can truly
01:08:43love someone else
01:08:44until
01:08:45you love yourself.
01:08:51Way to go, John!
01:08:52Thank you so much
01:09:11for considering me
01:09:12for this part.
01:09:14We'll keep in touch.

01:09:44Cool under pressure.
01:09:46This movie
01:09:47is gonna blow
01:09:48the roof off.

01:09:55But that would be
01:09:56Emily Blake.

01:10:01Amazing as always.
01:10:09You flew in
01:10:10all the way
01:10:11from London
01:10:11for this?
01:10:12Please.
01:10:14I was gonna miss a shot
01:10:15to audition
01:10:15for the great
01:10:16Daniel Johnson.
01:10:18How's LA treating you?
01:10:20Oh, my God.
01:10:21Less tea,
01:10:22but way more traffic.
01:10:24But I am...
01:10:25I'm glad to be back.
01:10:28Well,
01:10:28it's no English countryside.
01:10:29Yeah.
01:10:30But it suits you.
01:10:33You definitely belong here.
01:10:37I do miss you, though.
01:10:40It was fun.
01:10:41Playing the part,
01:10:43British starlet,
01:10:44American director.
01:10:46I kept waiting for us
01:10:48to become something real.
01:10:51Waiting for us
01:10:52to become something real.
01:10:54I'm sorry,
01:10:54Emily.
01:10:56It just cost me,
01:10:58and we'll call it even.
01:10:58You were amazing,
01:11:01as always.
01:11:02It's just...
01:11:04It's just not quite
01:11:06what I'm looking for.
01:11:08I never was,
01:11:09was I?
01:11:11Anyways,
01:11:12got a few more auditions
01:11:14while I'm in town.
01:11:16Maybe I'll see you around?
01:11:18Yeah.
01:11:18Give me a copy,
01:11:31and you know what?
01:11:32Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:35And be generous
01:11:36with the sugar.
01:11:36Oh, my God.
01:11:44What am I gonna do?
01:11:51That was quick.
01:11:52What are you doing here?
01:12:05I came to audition.
01:12:09Did you bring any representation?
01:12:11No.
01:12:12I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:15I need you.
01:12:16You'd be nothing without me.
01:12:17Donovan.
01:12:24Don't let me go!
01:12:26I got you.
01:12:27I'll never let you go.
01:12:31Are you okay?
01:12:32Yeah.
01:12:33It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:35never really healed.
01:12:38I understand.
