00:00:00For his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:05That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:08Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:12Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:18Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found 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.
00:00:31Daniel 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.
00:00:47If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:57I'll always love my son.
00:00:59But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:03You're just a worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:06That was a long time ago.
00:01:08America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:11All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:14When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:21You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:24She needs that now.
00:01:26Stay. Marry her.
00:01:29Love her.
00:01:31So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:37And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:39If 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.
00:01:50Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:58What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:00I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.
00:02:09But I need to go.
00:02:10I have an appointment with your child.
00:02:14Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:19Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:23Then I will be free.
00:02:26Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait?
00:02:29I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:36I saw it.
00:02:37Preston was there.
00:02:39I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:42I mean, we owe him.
00:02:43Yeah.
00:02:44And then he cheated on you.
00:02:45And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:48I'm starving.
00:02:49When are we eating?
00:02:50Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:52But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:55No!
00:02:55I want to eat now!
00:02:57You always know the spot.
00:03:10He doesn't listen.
00:03:11Daniel, please.
00:03:13You had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:18I got something I need to tell you.
00:03:22I'll make it 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.
00:03:28I don't want healthy food.
00:03:30I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:31Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:33You can't have that every day.
00:03:35It's not healthy for you.
00:03:37But I want that.
00:03:39Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:42You suck!
00:03:43I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:45Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:54I waited.
00:03:56I gave it everything I had.
00:03:58But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:01And myself as a wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:07Enough.
00:04:07Just enough.
00:04:13I want a divorce.
00:04:16I want a divorce.
00:04:22Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:25Huh?
00:04:27I want a...
00:04:31I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:32Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:34Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:39Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:40We'll get you some real food.
00:04:47Seriously?
00:04:48Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:51I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:53What is this?
00:04:55Another contract?
00:04:57How big is the role?
00:04:59Who's directing?
00:05:01It's not a...
00:05:01Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:03It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:07Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:10I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:13And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:15Pull my weight?
00:05:16Yeah, you get it.
00:05:19Mwah!
00:05:20Love you.
00:05:22I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:25If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:28Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:32Okay.
00:05:33The 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,
00:05:49my scripts,
00:05:50my career,
00:05:51my future,
00:05:52we're all pushed aside.
00:05:54At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:58I was able to use the money Celeste gave me
00:06:00to save my mother's life.
00:06:02Hey, Mom.
00:06:02How you doing?
00:06:03Oh, good dear.
00:06:05I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:09Do you need more?
00:06:10No, no, no, no.
00:06:11You've already done so much.
00:06:13I'm just trying to help.
00:06:15I know.
00:06:16But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:20I can't thank you enough
00:06:21for everything that you've done,
00:06:24but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:28I am, Mom.
00:06:28and I promise
00:06:31very soon
00:06:33everything's going to change.
00:06:37You are wonderful, dear.
00:06:39You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:41Everyone come quick, come quick.
00:06:43I gotta go.
00:06:44Love you.
00:06:48What is it, Mom?
00:06:49Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:52Our favorite leading man.
00:06:54Come on.
00:06:58Preston Eastwood,
00:07:02the man that broke my wife's heart
00:07:04and is stealing it back again.
00:07:09Preston Eastwood,
00:07:10the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:18All right, cut.
00:07:20That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:22We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:26Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:28I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:32Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:36If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:40We're going.
00:07:45Let's do it.
00:07:48It destroyed me.
00:08:12There's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:30Stay back.
00:08:33I mean it.
00:08:35Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:38Just...
00:08:41Just give me your hand.
00:08:46No!
00:08:56Daniel!
00:08:58I got you.
00:08:59No!
00:09:00Don't let me go!
00:09:02I won't ever let you go.
00:09:05I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:13Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:15I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:17I see all of you.
00:09:19And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:29Good to see ya!
00:09:30Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:32Oh, two long.
00:09:33Look at you!
00:09:34Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:38Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:39Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:41Are you kidding?
00:09:42Oh, Daniel.
00:09:43Press is gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:46Oh, there he is!
00:09:48The assistant!
00:09:49Where there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:52God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:57Stop!
00:09:58I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:04Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:08Daniel!
00:10:09Oh.
00:10:10No, it's fine.
00:10:11I'm sorry.
00:10:12Whoa!
00:10:13You played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:16He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough!
00:10:19You think, you know?
00:10:20My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:23He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:24Now, but I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:28What are you saying, huh?
00:10:29Yeah.
00:10:30Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:33It's fine.
00:10:35It's fine.
00:10:36Just relax, okay?
00:10:38Be nice.
00:10:48Some people never change.
00:10:50But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:56Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:58But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:08Oh, careful.
00:11:09You all right?
00:11:10I'm still starving.
00:11:11Make me some food.
00:11:12Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:13Stew?
00:11:14Ew.
00:11:15What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:16I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets.
00:11:17Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:18I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:19Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:20Oh, babe.
00:11:21For real?
00:11:22Yeah.
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:24My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:25Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:26I'm rich.
00:11:27Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:28I mean, that's true.
00:11:29That's true.
00:11:30That's true.
00:11:31That's true.
00:11:32That's true.
00:11:33That's true.
00:11:34That's true.
00:11:35That's true.
00:11:36That's true.
00:11:37That's true.
00:11:38That's true.
00:11:39That's true.
00:11:40Yeah.
00:11:41My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:44Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:45I'm rich.
00:11:46Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:50I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:55Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:57You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:58You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:00They were so dull.
00:12:01Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything.
00:12:05Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:10So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:14My treat.
00:12:15Here we go.
00:12:16What to do?
00:12:17Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:19I don't mind.
00:12:20All of you insist.
00:12:21I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:23So.
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, anyways.
00:12:32Come on, let's go.
00:12:34Screw you, gotcha.
00:12:35Here we go.
00:12:36Thanks.
00:12:37Here we go.
00:12:38Oh.
00:12:39There's Paps.
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?
00:12:53Hi.
00:12:54Yes.
00:12:55Yes.
00:12:56Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:06Contract sign.
00:13:08It's open.
00:13:10Why 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.
00:13:17Is it ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:19I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:20Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:24She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:31Sabrina Donovan.
00:13:32I could scream.
00:13:33I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:34Preston Eastwood.
00:13:35I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:36Oh, gee.
00:13:37I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:13:38The scene that I wrote.
00:13:39Uncredited, of course.
00:13:40Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:41Wait.
00:13:42Are you two dating?
00:13:43Oh.
00:13:44Oh.
00:13:45Oh.
00:13:46Oh.
00:13:47Oh.
00:13:48Oh.
00:13:49Oh.
00:13:50Oh.
00:13:51Oh.
00:13:52Oh.
00:13:53Oh.
00:13:54Oh.
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:56Oh.
00:13:57Oh.
00:13:58Oh.
00:13:59Oh.
00:14:00Oh.
00:14:01Oh.
00:14:02Oh.
00:14:03Oh.
00:14:04Oh.
00:14:05Oh.
00:14:06Oh.
00:14:07Well, actually.
00:14:08This is totally a date.
00:14:09All these years I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:13Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:20You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:22Your brand?
00:14:23It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:25You get it, right?
00:14:35So you two are a thing. Well, it's okay babe. We don't have to lie to our biggest fans
00:14:50This is so going viral. I can't believe you guys are dating. It looks like more than dating. Is this your son?
00:14:57I wish I was his son, Jackson. Don't be silly. You have a dad. He's a sissy.
00:15:03That's what all the boys at school say. He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:08But Preston is awesome. He's an action spy. I wish he was my dad.
00:15:15My own son doesn't respect me. But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood after party with a call girl.
00:15:26It's okay, buddy. Every spy needs a partner in crime. If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:31That is if mom's schooled it.
00:15:34Oh, Preston, I don't know. Daniel, he, you know, he's... Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:42Come on. Let's go Michelle.
00:15:44Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:02I told you this divorce was a mistake. Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:12Daniel!
00:16:16You know, it's probably for the best. From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:22Daniel, he's here. He... Did he see us? Is he looking over here?
00:16:26Oh, fuck. That's not good. I was just doing it for Felicity. I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:30Actually, it was perfect timing. Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:36Who cares about him, mommy? Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:40Jackson, enough.
00:16:43What do I do?
00:16:45Well, that's it then. Now I need to handle Sabrina. You need to leverage your relationship with Preston,
00:16:51with the tabloids. I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:54You're really good at that.
00:16:57Oh, I have a parting gift for you. A 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,
00:17:13I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:15Daniel loves me. He has to understand. This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:17:21Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:29Daniel, what is this?
00:17:32I can't let her create a public scene. All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:37Are you going somewhere?
00:17:39Honey. Oh, what a coincidence. We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:46Isn't that right, Daniel? A vacation?
00:17:49Final. You're paying attention.
00:17:51Yeah. I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:54Well, thanks for telling your wife. What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:58Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:00That's not what I meant.
00:18:01Whoa. Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:04That's fine. Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:08Just like any good husband would.
00:18:10Oh, look at how you see. Is it me?
00:18:13Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:15I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:17I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:19You know what? Maybe I should go. I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:23No, please stay. I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:28No, you know what? I'll go.
00:18:31And clearly she wants you. I'm going to dance this soon.
00:18:34Daniel, wait.
00:18:34I won't ever let you go.
00:18:38He won't leave. He promised.
00:18:41It doesn't have to be like this. We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:46I'm going to go back.
00:18:50Daniel!
00:18:51Oh, good. You're up.
00:19:05Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:09It was fun.
00:19:11Well, don't look at me like that. I'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. He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:26Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:29Listen, Matt, I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:35You can trust me.
00:19:38Preston, I think you're a big cop.
00:19:41You need to go right now.
00:19:42All right.
00:19:46Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:48When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:53I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:57Just ignore him. He 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.
00:20:03Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:05Jealous?
00:20:08My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:11Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:16You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:20That'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.
00:20:41Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:46No, it's not like that.
00:20:47I, I, I, what?
00:20:51You know what? Fine.
00:20:54You two look great together.
00:20:56Daniel, I,
00:21:09And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:12Um, I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:25Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:29I was never the homemaker.
00:21:31I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:52If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:58I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:01Look at her now.
00:22:15Playing house for another man.
00:22:18If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:21There he is.
00:22:41God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:43Man, man.
00:22:44No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:47Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:51You got some.
00:22:53Yeah.
00:22:54What do you mean?
00:22:54Oh, oh.
00:22:55Yeah, there you go.
00:22:57I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:00Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:02Bulk enough for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:07Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:13No?
00:23:14A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:17Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:22It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:30What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:37Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:39I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:42And it's unfair.
00:23:44That's a shame, huh?
00:23:45You know what?
00:23:45Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:47Here we go.
00:23:49Ooh.
00:23:52Not to play with them.
00:23:54You never let me do anything!
00:23:56Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:00You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:02It's not about the money.
00:24:04It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:06Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:10Yeah?
00:24:11What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:14You're so annoying!
00:24:16Don't push.
00:24:17I said don't push.
00:24:23Go get a book or something.
00:24:25Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:27He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man servant like you.
00:24:30God, what the hell?
00:24:31Should you just shut me?
00:24:35Call it a lesson.
00:24:36I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:38He's not your kid.
00:24:39I wish I was!
00:24:41I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:44I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:46Ouch!
00:24:47I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:49So why don't you make this little vacay of yours come?
00:24:52Maybe it will be.
00:24:53But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:57You?
00:24:59Man of the house?
00:24:59Please.
00:25:00You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:02I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:06And you're washed a pack!
00:25:07Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:09How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:12I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:14I'm a fucking star!
00:25:15A star?
00:25:17A star that needs his ex to bring it back into the spotlight.
00:25:20Jackson, come on.
00:25:21I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:23No, I'm not going!
00:25:25Preston's way cooler than you!
00:25:27Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:32You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:42What was that?
00:25:44You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:56What was that?
00:26:05What is happening?
00:26:06It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:08Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:10What?
00:26:11You're so scared!
00:26:12That would be pretty good, babe.
00:26:13What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:15I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:16I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:18What?
00:26:18I didn't.
00:26:19Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:21You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:23I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:25He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:27It's just a fucking fish tank!
00:26:28Throw up!
00:26:29Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:32What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:34What?
00:26:34Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:38Maybe I should go all that mystery.
00:26:40No!
00:26:41Oh my god!
00:26:43He's lying!
00:26:44You're a monster!
00:26:47And in front of your son?
00:26:49You 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.
00:26:56Come on, clean this up!
00:27:00Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:05She's mine now, loser.
00:27:14I think I hit an hour.
00:27:21I need an ambulance now.
00:27:22Now!
00:27:34You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:40To be honest, that's...
00:27:41I could use it right from home.
00:27:43Trouble with the missus?
00:27:46Uh, yeah.
00:27:48It's pretty obvious.
00:27:49Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:53I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:57Miss Preston Eastwood.
00:28:00True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:04I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:06You said, um, couple?
00:28:09I 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.
00:28:19She was so sweet.
00:28:25Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:27No, it's...
00:28:28It's my wound.
00:28:32I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:36Daniel!
00:28:36Sweet and caring.
00:28:39So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.
00:28:43He only had to break her heart to get it and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:48Fuck you!
00:28:53Fuck it!
00:28:55I'm gonna get my shit out, y'all.
00:28:59Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:01You once liked my short film.
00:29:02I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:04It needs the right producer.
00:29:14I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:19Where have you been?
00:29:21I kept calling.
00:29:22I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:24Huh?
00:29:30Fine.
00:29:30I've been busy.
00:29:31Anyways, I 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?
00:29:45I...
00:29:46I just...
00:29:48I'm sorry, I...
00:29:50Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:54It is what it is.
00:29:59But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:03You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:08And I think you should go for it.
00:30:09I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:12But I just...
00:30:14I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:19Seriously.
00:30:21I...
00:30:21I care about you.
00:30:24I'm not mad.
00:30:29I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:31I know when you're angry.
00:30:32Really?
00:30:33I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:35I pay attention?
00:30:38Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:40She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:43That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:45A headline.
00:30:46A performance.
00:30:47Sabrina.
00:30:53Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:54You 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.
00:31:09You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:11Well, yeah.
00:31:12The 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.
00:31:26I 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 into 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.
00:32:01I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful.
00:32:14Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:17That's not what I meant.
00:32:20I like it when you make it.
00:32:23I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:28I knew it.
00:32:28You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:32I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:36It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:41Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:44It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:46No, Daniel, no, that's not what I meant.
00:32:55Look what you made me do.
00:32:59Just leave it.
00:33:00I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:03And what? It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:07I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:10And look what I get for it.
00:33:12You know what? Forget it. I have a mirror.
00:33:15Just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:32What?
00:33:33Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:35Yeah. Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:36Not quite. That was the divorce contract.
00:33:39But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract
00:33:42and our family's FTA.
00:33:44This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:45Remember that.
00:33:46I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:48I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:04Oh, please. She's always been so secretive.
00:34:07I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:11Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:14I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:18Oh, wow. If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:23Come here.
00:34:27Jackson! We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:31Do you know where she is? Or who she's with?
00:34:34She's with Mr. Eastwood. He's been staying with us.
00:34:38Really?
00:34:40Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:43Oh, I hope so. I really hope so.
00:34:45He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:49Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:52Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:55What are you doing here? You never come to these things.
00:35:05Well, that's gotta be the husband.
00:35:09Get lost! You embarrass us!
00:35:11Jackson, do not talk to me like that. I'm your father.
00:35:14I wish you never were my dad!
00:35:19Is there a problem?
00:35:25Oh, my God. That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:28How could Sabrina choose this flat over Preston?
00:35:31If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:34I wish Preston was my dad! You're a pathetic loser!
00:35:37Zip it, Jackson. You should probably listen to your kid and head out because
00:35:43you're starting to make a scene. I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:46That's not what I see.
00:35:48You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:55Hmm. That's the kind of story the press would devour. It doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.
00:36:02And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:07This was all I stopped, wasn't it?
00:36:10You were revolting. No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:13Hey.
00:36:16How do you watch your mouth?
00:36:17Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:21Yeah. Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:23Oh, yeah? What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:26You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:29Hmm.
00:36:31What the hell?
00:36:53What happened?
00:36:55Oh, my God! Daniel!
00:36:58What the hell happened? Daniel, you're bleeding. Are you okay?
00:37:03Look at her go. Hollywood's finest. Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:09It's Daniel. He's a monster. He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:15Mommy! Dad came in here and started shouting at me!
00:37:19No. No, that's not true.
00:37:21If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:27Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:30Daniel, is that true?
00:37:33Sabrina.
00:37:38Oh! Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs. I think one of them is broken.
00:37:44Sabrina? Honey? We need to help Preston.
00:37:50But Daniel!
00:37:51Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:08Mommy, please! We can't leave him!
00:38:10I... I have... I have to help Preston.
00:38:14Come on, Jackson.
00:38:29Come on, Jackson.
00:38:36Daniel!
00:38:37I got you.
00:38:39Don't let me go!
00:38:41She's made her choice. There's no going back.
00:38:44We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:57Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:01Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:04I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:06There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:11Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:13In 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 hell.
00:39:22Don't worry about it. Just try.
00:39:38I used to beg for her approval.
00:39:55Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:59Seriously?
00:40:01Stay down.
00:40:01I know.
00:40:02What is he down?
00:40:04I'm gonna call the doctor, okay?
00:40:09What are you doing? I thought you were hurt.
00:40:11I think I'll pull through.
00:40:20So what are you doing?
00:40:22I've always wanted to.
00:40:24Come on. I know you want this.
00:40:25Because I see the way you look at me.
00:40:27How that Daniel's gone.
00:40:29We have the house to ourself.
00:40:31I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:44What am I doing?
00:40:45Daniel is still injured.
00:40:47He should be home.
00:40:51Sabrina?
00:40:52Listen, get off.
00:41:05What?
00:41:06Hey, we can finally come on.
00:41:08I said get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:12No, forget about him.
00:41:13Look.
00:41:15I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:18I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:23I mean, come on.
00:41:24Sabrina, your son, your mother, even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:30Look, he's already moved on.
00:41:35No.
00:41:37What have I done?
00:41:39Where is he?
00:41:40What about me?
00:41:41You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:41:44I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:52Hello?
00:41:54Excuse me.
00:41:55Excuse me.
00:41:56Hi.
00:41:57Have you seen my husband?
00:41:59Please, he was someone bleeding out.
00:42:01Um, I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:05He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:10Oh, no.
00:42:11God, Daniel, where are you?
00:42:14I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:17Please try again later.
00:42:20What have I done?
00:42:32Come on, Daniel.
00:42:33Answer me.
00:42:35He'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.
00:43:00It's not possible.
00:43:02He will be back.
00:43:05No.
00:43:17Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:19Climb zero, Cassio, or Jackson.
00:43:22The waves all spousal support.
00:43:25No.
00:43:25No, he can't leave me.
00:43:27He can't do this to me.
00:43:29I won't sign off on it.
00:43:40No.
00:43:40No, all this time, who's going to leave me?
00:43:47No.
00:43:48No.
00:43:48No.
00:43:49No.
00:43:49No.
00:43:49No.
00:43:50No.
00:43:50No.
00:43:51No.
00:43:51No.
00:43:51No.
00:43:52No.
00:43:52No.
00:43:53No.
00:43:53No.
00:43:54No.
00:43:54No.
00:43:54No.
00:43:55No.
00:43:55No.
00:43:55No.
00:43:59It can't be.
00:44:03It's not it.
00:44:04Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:08He loves me. He loves Jackson.
00:44:13He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.
00:44:16After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:44:34I got you.
00:44:44Don't let me go!
00:44:46Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:52Daniel?
00:44:53No, it's Mom. Is everything okay?
00:44:56Mom!
00:44:59Mom!
00:45:00Daniel!
00:45:02He just left us!
00:45:05Do you know where he is?
00:45:07We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:11Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:16You knew?
00:45:17I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:28I'm hungry!
00:45:31Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:33Jackson?
00:45:35Jackson?
00:45:38I have something to tell you.
00:45:41Your dad...
00:45:42Your dad...
00:45:45He's left us.
00:45:48I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:51Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:45:53I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:45:54I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:45:54Why would you say that?
00:45:55It was so embarrassing. Even 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 than raising a young man.
00:46:09He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone.
00:46:13Mr. Eastwood is way cooler. He can be my new dad.
00:46:17Jackson, you have a dad. And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:23Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:31Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:34Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:38I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:40Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:46:46No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:48Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:53Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:46:57Okay? He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:00Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:04And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:07What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:10Huh. It's despicable.
00:47:13I can't do this anymore.
00:47:15I'll cancel everything.
00:47:17The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:20I don't want to be seen.
00:47:22I can't pretend.
00:47:23I just want him back.
00:47:27Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:47:30You don't love him anyway.
00:47:32And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:39What?
00:47:40How could you say something like that?
00:47:42Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:45He cares for me. He sees me.
00:47:47He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:51But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:54Daniel's my husband and the father of my son.
00:47:59Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with this child just because the contract ended?
00:48:06Contract?
00:48:08What contract?
00:48:09What 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.
00:48:25Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:27Please.
00:48:28I just want the truth.
00:48:30Mom.
00:48:31Fine.
00:48:34I will tell you the truth.
00:48:36But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:40I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:44But know it was all for your own good.
00:48:50When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:53But I had to save you.
00:48:55She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:48:59You've always been there for her.
00:49:01From film school to now.
00:49:03I've seen it.
00:49:05She needs you.
00:49:06Stay.
00:49:07Marry her.
00:49:08Love her.
00:49:10So that she's never alone again.
00:49:11It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:21How could you do this to me?
00:49:24Who wants to protect you?
00:49:26He wanted to control me.
00:49:27All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:31Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:37You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:40Stop.
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?
00:49:47I 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.
00:49:55Hollywood starlet.
00:49:57Believe me, it's for the best.
00:49:59No.
00:50:00He can't be gone.
00:50:01He can't.
00:50:02Yes.
00:50:03He is gone.
00:50:04And he is gone forever.
00:50:06He can't be.
00:50:07He can't be gone.
00:50:08He can't.
00:50:10I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of Howl, the Tame Silver Box that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:37Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:46Daniel, 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 shteed.
00:50:56Nobody told me how.
00:50:57Oh, man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:01I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:03Uh, yeah.
00:51:04Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:07And I haven't been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:10I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:12But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:51:16And I feel like I found my voice, and it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:20Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:28Hollywood.
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.
00:51:38Daniel?
00:51:56He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:00Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius.
00:52:04And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:07That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:16Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:20We'll never tell.
00:52:24Oh, my God, thanks for saying that.
00:52:26She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:28I know.
00:52:30This is so surreal.
00:52:31I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:52:33I can.
00:52:34Daniel, the moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:39Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:43And get used to compliments.
00:52:45There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:47Fuck.
00:52:48Finish me, I know.
00:52:49I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:53You okay?
00:52:54You always do that when you're nervous.
00:52:56I think so.
00:52:58I'll have it.
00:53:00Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:53:04So, it's just got a head start.
00:53:17I think that press is good press.
00:53:20Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:33You can't do this to me!
00:53:35Sabrina.
00:53:36You don't need him.
00:53:38I don't have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:39How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:42Move on?
00:53:43Please, honey.
00:53:45He 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.
00:53:53How 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.
00:54:01Don't you see it?
00:54:02Sabrina.
00:54:03Look at what you've got.
00:54:05A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:11Melanie's not whining.
00:54:13And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:15Your dream man.
00:54:16You have everything.
00:54:18I don't have him.
00:54:21Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:23Go have the chef make something.
00:54:24No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:28Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:30Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:31He's your dad.
00:54:33No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:35Daniel'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?
00:54:43You 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.
00:54:52Enough, you little shit.
00:54:56Enough.
00:54:57Just enough.
00:54:59Sabrina?
00:55:00What's gotten into you?
00:55:02Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:05Whoa.
00:55:07What's going on here?
00:55:08This room feels really tense.
00:55:10Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:12I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:14No.
00:55:14I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:17And 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.
00:55:24Hey, man.
00:55:29Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:31Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:33Really?
00:55:33Loser?
00:55:34Yeah.
00:55:35You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:38And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:43That's really, really low.
00:55:49Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:55:55Come on.
00:55:55We're America's power couple.
00:55:57To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:00Face 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.
00:56:08I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:09You'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?
00:56:16Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:18It's not like that.
00:56:19Okay?
00:56:20Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:23I want to marry you.
00:56:24We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:27What's my birthday?
00:56:28Huh?
00:56:29What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:31What's my favorite color?
00:56:32My favorite song?
00:56:34Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:36Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:37Hey, what's my fucking middle name?
00:56:40You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:42You don't love me.
00:56:43You don't even know me.
00:56:45This isn't a relationship.
00:56:47This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:50And you know what?
00:56:51I'm done.
00:56:52Get out.
00:56:53I don't want to ever see you again.
00:56:56We're over.
00:56:58We're over.
00:56:59No, babe, babe.
00:57:00Come on, please.
00:57:01Please, I love you.
00:57:02Just think about it.
00:57:03Look at the press.
00:57:04What this will look like.
00:57:05If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:10Get out.
00:57:12Now.
00:57:13Just give me your hand.
00:57:14Come on.
00:57:15I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:18Nobody sees the real me.
00:57:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:22I see all of you.
00:57:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:57:27He truly knew me.
00:57:31He loved me.
00:57:33Every flaw.
00:57:34Every fear.
00:57:36Contract or not.
00:57:38He truly loved me.
00:57:40I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:42Saved me?
00:57:44You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:47Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:49And he saved me from you.
00:57:52Security!
00:57:55Security!
00:57:55Come on.
00:57:56Just let's talk about this.
00:57:58No.
00:57:59Come on.
00:57:59Celeste, do something.
00:58:01Sabrina!
00:58:03Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:05Was 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?
00:58:16God.
00:58:18You're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:22Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:25Of 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 a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:48You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
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.
00:58:58I mean, you know this.
00:59:00You're a legend.
00:59:01I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:02All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:04You'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,
00:59:14the 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 I.
00:59:21It didn't really end well.
00:59:23Let me guess.
00:59:24My girl?
00:59:25If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:30You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:33You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:37You've given me a lot to think about.
00:59:39Three-picture deal.
00:59:40$200 million budget each.
00:59:42Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:44I don't know what to say.
00:59:45Just say yes.
00:59:46You have my number.
00:59:48Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:50Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:51You can't run away from the past.
00:59:53You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:59:55Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:10Can we talk?
01:00:12Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:15Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:21Is this a personal story?
01:00:24Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:27Oh...
01:00:28She knows who she is.
01:00:31Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:35You arrogant little shit.
01:00:37I told you, if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:48It's Les 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.
01:01:01Mom?
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?
01:01:12You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:14You've been so kind, though.
01:01:15Um, it's called...
01:01:17You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:20He'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.
01:01:30I need to get on that movie.
01:01:32Absolutely 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.
01:01:39Oh, honey.
01:01:40I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:41He still loves me.
01:01:44He has to.
01:01:46I just need to talk to him.
01:01:49Let him go.
01:01:52Mom.
01:01:54Honey, I...
01:01:56You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:02:00I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:04I love you.
01:02:06I love you, too.
01:02:10Here we go.
01:02:11This is, um, it's another movie deal.
01:02:16I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:17Did you get his location?
01:02:35The Oaks.
01:02:368 p.m.
01:02:38After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:43He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:45She's not protecting me.
01:02:57She's protecting her business.
01:02:59And I'm just a pawn.
01:03:01But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:03It's so nice having you back.
01:03:07And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:09Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:11A couple?
01:03:13Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people, if you can even call them that.
01:03:18You'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.
01:03:27To marriage, to kids, I mean, we really tried.
01:03:31I thought I could make it go for it, but it's over.
01:03:36It's over.
01:03:37I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:41Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:52She dumped him.
01:03:54It was all over People Magazine.
01:03:55She ended it when his star faded.
01:03:59Oh my gosh, it was.
01:04:06Daniel!
01:04:10Stop!
01:04:11Sabrina, 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?
01:04:26How could you?
01:04:27What?
01:04:27I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:32I begged and pleaded.
01:04:33Stop lying.
01:04:35I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:38And 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.
01:04:47I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:47I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:49Not anymore.
01:04:50Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:55I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:04:57I'm your mother.
01:04:59I only want what's best for you.
01:05:03What's best for me?
01:05:06You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:11And that all ends today.
01:05:16You're fired.
01:05:18You're fired.
01:05:20No.
01:05:23No.
01:05:28No.
01:05:29You can't do this to me.
01:05:31Please.
01:05:32Please, sweetie.
01:05:33I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:34You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:38I 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.
01:05:48I made you.
01:05:50You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:54I think she'll do just fine.
01:06:02We're done here, Mom.
01:06:04If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:12Without another word.
01:06:24I have something to say.
01:06:25I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:31I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:34I'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.
01:06:48Apologize to your father.
01:06:50Do I have to?
01:06:51Jackson, who raised you?
01:06:54Cared for you?
01:06:57Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:07:00Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:05He did.
01:07:06He loved you.
01:07:07But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:09I was wrong.
01:07:11Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:16And 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.
01:07:28Okay.
01:07:30Come on, Jackson.
01:07:31Let's go.
01:07:31Come on.
01:07:38I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:40For everything.
01:07:41Okay.
01:07:46I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:53You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:56No.
01:07:58I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:08:00They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:03They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:10People can change.
01:08:11But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:18And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:26Daniel!
01:08:27Daniel!
01:08:28Daniel!
01:08:28Stop it!
01:08:29Daniel, Daniel!
01:08:30Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:35Yes.
01:08:36I'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.
01:08:55Way to go, John!
01:08:57Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:18We'll keep in touch.
01:09:19What do we have today?
01:09:2740, sir.
01:09:28Jesus.
01:09:29Hey, boy!
01:09:30How are we looking?
01:09:32So, big in here.
01:09:33Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:35I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:40All right, here's the deal.
01:09:41The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:45Today?
01:09:46Are you fucking kidding me?
01:09:48That's why I love you, man.
01:09:49Cool under pressure.
01:09:50This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:09:56Oh, my God.
01:09:57All right, just bring the next one.
01:09:58Ah!
01:09:59So, that would be...
01:10:01Emily Blake.
01:10:03Emily.
01:10:10Emily.
01:10:11Amazing, as always.
01:10:14You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:17Please.
01:10:18I was gonna miss a shot.
01:10:19You auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:22How's LA treating you?
01:10:24Oh, my God.
01:10:26Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:28But I am...
01:10:30I'm glad to be back.
01:10:31Well, it's not English countryside.
01:10:34Yeah.
01:10:34But it suits you.
01:10:38You definitely belong here.
01:10:42I do miss you, though.
01:10:44It was fun.
01:10:45Playing the part.
01:10:47British starlet.
01:10:48American director.
01:10:49I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:55Waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:57I'm sorry, Emily.
01:11:00It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:11:04You...
01:11:04You were amazing, as always.
01:11:07It's just...
01:11:08It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:13I never was, was I?
01:11:15Anyways...
01:11:17Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:20Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:22Yeah.
01:11:22Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:36Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:39And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:47Oh, my God.
01:11:48What am I going to do?
01:11:55That was quick.
01:12:06What are you doing here?
01:12:09I came to audition.
01:12:13Did you bring any representation?
01:12:15No.
01:12:17I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:20I'm starting fresh.
01:12:22Right, um...
01:12:24Hi.
01:12:27I'm Serena Donovan.
01:12:32Don't let me go!
01:12:33I got you.
01:12:34I'll never let you go.
01:12:38Are you okay?
01:12:39Yeah.
01:12:40It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:43never really healed.
01:12:45I understand.
01:12:51Daniel Johnson.
01:12:54Nice to meet you.
01:12:57Please.
01:13:06Whenever you're ready.
01:13:07I'm ready.
01:13:15Those of you who are ready.
01:13:15I'm ready.
01:13:15Lovely.
01:13:21Bye-bye.
01:13:23I'm ready.
01:13:26Bye-bye.
