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.
00:00:13Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:19Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:24Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:32Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:37You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:43Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:47If 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 to from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:03You need to still worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:06That was a long time ago.
00:01:08America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15When 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.
00:01:27Stay. Marry her.
00:01:30Love her.
00:01:31So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:34I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:37And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:40If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:54What's going on?
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:00Honey!
00:02:00I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:06If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.
00:02:09But I need to go.
00:02:10I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:14Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:19Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:24Then I will be free.
00:02:26Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:28Ugh, can it wait?
00:02:29I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:32I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:36I saw.
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.
00:02:44Yeah.
00:02:44And then he cheated on you.
00:02:46And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:48I'm starving.
00:02:49When are we eating?
00:02:51Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:53But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:55No!
00:02:56I want to eat now!
00:02:58You always know the spot.
00:03:10He doesn't listen.
00:03:11Daniel, please.
00:03:13I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:20I've got something I need to tell you.
00:03:22I'll make it quick.
00:03:23This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:25Ew, what is this?
00:03:27It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:29I don't want healthy food.
00:03:30I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:32Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:34You can't have that every day.
00:03:36It's not healthy for you.
00:03:37But I want that.
00:03:39Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:43You suck.
00:03:43I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:46Give me chicken nuggets.
00:03:54I waited.
00:03:56I gave it everything I had.
00:03:59But 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.
00:04:17I want a divorce.
00:04:23Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:26Huh?
00:04:26I want a divorce.
00:04:31I want chicken nuggets.
00:04:33Give me chicken nuggets.
00:04:35Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:39Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:41We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously, they're only jobs to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:51I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:54What is this?
00:04:56Another contract?
00:04:57How big is the role?
00:04:59Who's directing?
00:05:01It's not a...
00:05:02Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:04Hard 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, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:16Pull my weight?
00:05:17Yeah, you get it.
00:05:20Love you.
00:05:22I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:26If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:29Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:32The 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.
00:05:50My scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:55At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:58I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:02Hey, Mom.
00:06:03How you doing?
00:06:04Oh, good, dear.
00:06:05I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:10Do you need more?
00:06:10No, no, no, no.
00:06:11You've already done so much.
00:06:14I'm just trying to help.
00:06:15I know.
00:06:16But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:20Nikki, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:27I am, Mom, and I promise very soon everything's going to change.
00:06:37You look wonderful, dear.
00:06:39You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:41Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:44I 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.
00:06:57Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:07:09Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:19All right, cut.
00:07:20That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:23We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:25Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:29I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:33Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:36If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:40We'll be back for way.
00:07:50I'm out.
00:07:53New York's right here.
00:07:58I was going to be a lot of fun.
00:08:00We'll be back.
00:08:02I'm out.
00:08:03Just join me, President, just at the level.
00:08:29Maria, don't!
00:08:31Stay back.
00:08:33I mean it.
00:08:35Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:40Just...
00:08:40Just give me your hand.
00:08:55No!
00:08:57Daniel!
00:08:59I got you.
00:09:00No!
00:09:01Don't let me go!
00:09:03I won't ever let you go.
00:09:10I'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 going to be alone again.
00:09:29Good to see you!
00:09:31Oh, my gosh.
00:09:32How long has it been?
00:09:32Oh, too long.
00:09:33Look at you!
00:09:35Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:38Oh, yeah, 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.
00:09:43Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:46Oh, there he is!
00:09:47Oh, there he is!
00:09:48The assistant!
00:09:49I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:52God, 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 she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:05Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:09Daniel!
00:10:09Oh.
00:10:10Don't embarrass me.
00:10:11No, it's fine.
00:10:12Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:17He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:21My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:23He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:25Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:28What are you saying, huh?
00:10:30Yeah.
00:10:31Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:35It's fine.
00:10:36It's fine.
00:10:37Just relax, okay?
00:10:40Be nice.
00:10:49Some people never change.
00:10:51But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:58Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:59But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:07Oh, man, I'm careful.
00:11:12You all right?
00:11:14I'm still starving.
00:11:16Make me some food.
00:11:18Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:21Stew?
00:11:21Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:24I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:28Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:31I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:35Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:38Well, babe, for real?
00:11:40Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:44Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:46I'm rich.
00:11:48Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:52I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:56See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:57You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:59You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:01They were so dull.
00:12:03These mysteries from my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:05Lucky for you, Uncle Preston, it's a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:10So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:14My treat.
00:12:16Here we go.
00:12:17What to do?
00:12:18Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:20I don't mind.
00:12:21All of you insist.
00:12:22I mean, I'm already dressed, so.
00:12:25Okay.
00:12:27Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:32So, anyways.
00:12:33Come on, baby, let's go.
00:12:35Screw you.
00:12:36Here we go.
00:12:38Oh.
00:12:40There's caps.
00:12:42You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:44Last time.
00:12:45I promise.
00:12:48You're right.
00:12:49It is the last time.
00:12:52You guys?
00:12:54Hi.
00:12:56Jackson.
00:13:02Well, did you use your brain,
00:13:04or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:06Contract sign.
00:13:09It's over.
00:13:11Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:15I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:19Is it 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:20I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:21I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:40Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:42She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:44Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:49I could scream.
00:13:50I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:52Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:56Oh, gee.
00:13:56I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:59The scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:14:02Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:04Wait.
00:14:05Are you two dating?
00:14:06Oh, well, actually.
00:14:07This is totally a date.
00:14:09All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:17Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:20You'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.
00:14:26You get it, right?
00:14:36So, you two are a thing?
00:14:37Well, I...
00:14:39Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:39We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:51This is so going viral.
00:14:52I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:54It looks like more than dating.
00:14:56Is this your son?
00:14:58I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:00Don't be silly.
00:15:02You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:04That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:06He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:10But Preston is awesome.
00:15:12He's an action spy.
00:15:14I wish he was my dad.
00:15:17My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:20But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:15:24after party with a call girl.
00:15:26It's okay, buddy.
00:15:27Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:29If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:32That is, if Mom's cool with it.
00:15:35Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:36Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:39Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:42Come on.
00:15:44Let's go Michelle.
00:15:44Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:03I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:08Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:14Daniel!
00:16:16You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:19On the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:23Daniel, he's here?
00:16:24Did he see us?
00:16:25Is he looking over here?
00:16:27Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:28I was just doing that for Lucy.
00:16:30I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:31Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:33Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:37Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:39Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:41Jackson, enough.
00:16:43What do I do?
00:16:45Well, that's it then.
00:16:47Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:49I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:53I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:56You're really good at that.
00:16:57Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:02A one-way ticket.
00:17:04So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:07I know the contract is over.
00:17:09But if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:13I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:16Daniel loves me.
00:17:17He has to understand.
00:17:18This is Hollywood.
00:17:19It's just part of the job.
00:17:22Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:24I can explain.
00:17:24Daniel, what is this?
00:17:33I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:35All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:38Are you going somewhere?
00:17:39Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:43We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:46Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:48A vacation?
00:17:49Final.
00:17:50You're paying attention.
00:17:52Yeah.
00:17:52I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:55Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:57What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:59Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:00That's not what I meant.
00:18:01Whoa.
00:18:02Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:05It's fine.
00:18:06Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:09Just like any good husband would.
00:18:10Oh, look how you see.
00:18:12Is it me?
00:18:14Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:16I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:18I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:20You know what?
00:18:21Maybe I should go.
00:18:22I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:24No, please stay.
00:18:25I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:28No, you know what?
00:18:30I'll go.
00:18:31And clearly she wants you.
00:18:33I'm willing to dance this soon.
00:18:34Daniel, wait.
00:18:35I won't ever let you go.
00:18:39He won't leave.
00:18:40He promised.
00:18:41It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:44We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:47I'm going to go back.
00:18:51Daniel!
00:18:56Let them here.
00:18:58Yeah.
00:19:01Oh, good.
00:19:04You're up.
00:19:05Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:11It's fun.
00:19:13Don't look at me like that.
00:19:14I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:17Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:21I'm lucky for him.
00:19:22I'm lucky for him.
00:19:23He'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.
00:19:30Listen, man.
00:19:31I...
00:19:31I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and...
00:19:35What happened?
00:19:36You can trust me.
00:19:37I just don't think you're...
00:19:40I don't think you're...
00:19:41I don't think you're...
00:19:41I don't think you're...
00:19:43All right.
00:19:44Oh, man.
00:19:46Daniel, seriously.
00:19:47Listen, man.
00:19:48I...
00:19:48I...
00:19:49When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:54I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:57Just ignore him.
00:19:59He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:00No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:04Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:06Jealous?
00:20:09My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:12Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:16You know...
00:20:17I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:23That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between...
00:20:27her and the house, husband.
00:20:29Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:35God.
00:20:37God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:42Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:46No, it's not like that.
00:20:48I...
00:20:49What?
00:20:51You know what?
00:20:52Fine.
00:20:54You two look great together.
00:20:56Daniel, I...
00:20:57And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:13I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:25Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:30I was never the homemaker.
00:21:35Please, Daniel.
00:21:36Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:39Daniel.
00:21:43I 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?
00:21:59I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:02Look at her now, playing house for another man.
00:22:17If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:22There he is.
00:22:27I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:44Man.
00:22:45No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:47Life of an A-Lister, I guess.
00:22:49Hmm.
00:22:50Hmm.
00:22:51Hmm.
00:22:52Got some.
00:22:53Yeah.
00:22:54What do you need?
00:22:55Oh.
00:22:56Oh.
00:22:57Yeah.
00:22:58There you go.
00:22:59I'd offer you some of this shit, but I don't like it.
00:23:00Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:02I'm bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:04Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:13You're not?
00:23:14A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:16Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:23It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:29What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:34Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:35I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:40And it's unfair.
00:23:41That's a shame, huh?
00:23:42You know what?
00:23:43Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:47Here we go.
00:23:48Ooh.
00:23:49Joe!
00:23:50Not to play with that.
00:23:52You never let me do anything!
00:23:54Come on.
00:23:55It's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:56You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:57It's not about the money.
00:23:58It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:00Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:03Yeah?
00:24:04What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:05It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:06Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:09Yeah?
00:24:10What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:11Yeah?
00:24:12What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:14You're so annoying!
00:24:16Don't.
00:24:17Push.
00:24:22I said don't push.
00:24:24Go get a book or something.
00:24:25Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:27He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-server.
00:24:30What the hell did you just show me?
00:24:35I called a lesson.
00:24:36I'm teaching a 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?
00:24:51Maybe it will be.
00:24:52But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:54You?
00:24:55Man of the house?
00:24:56Please.
00:24:57You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:58I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:00And you're washed apart!
00:25:01Still writing on all your old headlines.
00:25:02How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:03I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:04I'm a fucking star!
00:25:05A star?
00:25:06A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:07Jackson, come on.
00:25:08I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:09No, I'm not going!
00:25:10Preston's way cooler than you!
00:25:11Preston!
00:25:12Preston!
00:25:13Preston!
00:25:14Preston!
00:25:15Preston!
00:25:16Preston!
00:25:17Preston!
00:25:18Preston!
00:25:19Preston!
00:25:20Preston!
00:25:21Preston!
00:25:22Today I moetùng!
00:25:23It's me vampire!
00:25:24We gotta go.
00:25:25It's me vampire!
00:25:26We gotta go.
00:25:27We gotta go!
00:25:28You stick!
00:25:29Hey, Jackson, come on.
00:25:30I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:31Preston!
00:25:32I'm not going!
00:25:36Preston's way cooler than you!
00:25:38Preston!
00:25:39Preston!
00:25:40Preston!
00:25:41Preston!
00:25:42Preston!
00:25:43Preston!
00:25:44Preston!
00:25:45Preston,
00:25:46Preston!
00:25:47Preston, Preston!
00:25:51You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:57What was that?
00:26:04Daniel!
00:26:05What is happening?
00:26:07It was Dad, Mom. Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:11What?
00:26:11You're so scared.
00:26:12That would be pretty good, baby.
00:26:14What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:15I just wanted to hang out with your ex.
00:26:17I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:19I didn't.
00:26:20Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:22You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:24I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:26He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:27It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:29Bro, I'm up.
00:26:30Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:32What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:35What? Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:39Maybe I should go.
00:26:40I'm sorry.
00:26:41No.
00:26:42Oh, my God.
00:26:44He's lying.
00:26:46You're a monster.
00:26:48And 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.
00:26:58Clean this up.
00:27:00Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:05She's mine now, loser.
00:27:07You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:36So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:39To be honest, that's...
00:27:41I could use a break from home.
00:27:43Trouble with the missus?
00:27:44Uh, yeah.
00:27:48It's pretty obvious.
00:27:50Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:54I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:58Miss Preston Eastwood.
00:28:00True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:04I've been obsessed with them since breaking the eyes.
00:28:08You said, um, couple?
00:28:10I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official.
00:28:14She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:20She was so sweet.
00:28:25You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:28No, it's...
00:28:30It's my wound.
00:28:31I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:36Daniel!
00:28:38Sweet and caring.
00:28:40So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:43He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:46And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:48Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:01You once liked my short film.
00:29:03I have a strip I've been sitting on.
00:29:13It needs the right producer.
00:29:15I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:18Where have you been?
00:29:22I kept calling.
00:29:23I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:26Huh?
00:29:30What?
00:29:31I've been busy.
00:29:32I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:35Seriously?
00:29:36Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:38I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:42Yeah.
00:29:43That's what you want to call it?
00:29:46I...
00:29:46I just...
00:29:48I'm sorry.
00:29:50I...
00:29:50Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:57It is what it is.
00:30:00But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:04You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:07And I think you should go for it.
00:30:10I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:13But I just...
00:30:15I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:20Seriously.
00:30:21I...
00:30:22I care about you.
00:30:23I'm not a man.
00:30:29I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:31I know when you're angry.
00:30:32Really?
00:30:33I don't think you paid attention.
00:30:34I 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 wants to her.
00:30:45A headline.
00:30:47A performance.
00:30:50Sabrina.
00:30:50Sabrina, 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.
00:31:10You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:12Well, yeah.
00:31:13The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:16The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:19I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:21Me and you.
00:31:22The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:26I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:30A long time ago.
00:31:31Well, 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.
00:32:14I've had a lot of experience making it for you.
00:32:16I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:18That's not what I meant.
00:32:20I like it when you make it.
00:32:22I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:28I knew it.
00:32:30You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:32I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:36God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:41Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:43It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:47No, Daniel.
00:32:48No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:56Look what you made me do.
00:32:59Just leave it.
00:33:01I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:05And what?
00:33:06It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:08I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:10And look what I get for it.
00:33:12You know what?
00:33:14Forget it.
00:33:15I heard from here.
00:33:16We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:32What?
00:33:33Is that how you talked to your mother-in-law?
00:33:35Yeah.
00:33:36Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:37Not quite.
00:33:38That was the divorce contract.
00:33:40But if you want a clean break,
00:33:41we need to finalize your entertainment contract
00:33:43and our family's NDA.
00:33:44This is Showbiz, baby.
00:33:46Remember that.
00:33:47I'm texting the address where it may be.
00:33:49I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:05Oh, please.
00:34:06She's always been so secretive.
00:34:08I mean, this is her movie premiere,
00:34:09and where is her husband?
00:34:11Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:13I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:20Oh, oh.
00:34:21If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:23Come here.
00:34:24Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:34:31Do you know where she is?
00:34:33Or who she's with?
00:34:35She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:36He's been staying with us.
00:34:39Really?
00:34:40Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:44Oh, I hope so.
00:34:45I really hope so.
00:34:46He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:49Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:53Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:02What are you doing here?
00:35:03You never come to these things.
00:35:06Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:09Get lost.
00:35:10You embarrass us.
00:35:11Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:13I'm your father.
00:35:14I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:19Is there a problem?
00:35:25Oh, my God.
00:35:27That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:28How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:32If that was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:34I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:36You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:38Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:39You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make scene.
00:35:45I'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.
00:35:57That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:00It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:03And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:07This is all I'll stop, was it?
00:36:10You are revolting.
00:36:12No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:14Hey.
00:36:16How are you watching now?
00:36:18Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:22Yeah.
00:36:22Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:24Oh, yeah?
00:36:25What lesson is that, Preston?
00:36:26You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?

00:44:46Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:53Daniel!
00:44:54No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? You sound panicked?
00:44:57Mom!
00:44:59Mom!

00:45:08We 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?
00:45:18I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:29I'm hungry! Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:35Tax him?
00:45:38I have something to tell you.
00:45:42Your dad...
00:45:45Your dad...
00:45:47He's left us.
00:45:49I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:52Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:45:54Why would you say that?
00:45:56He was so embarrassing! Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:45:59Mr. Eastwood? What did Preston say?
00:46:03He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:08He was so lame and boring! Now he's gone! Mr. 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!
00:46:22Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:32Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:34Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:39I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:40Large thumbs have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:46:46No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:49Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:54Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:46:58Okay? He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:01Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:04And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:08What kind of coward abandons his family? Huh? It's despicable.
00:47:13I can't do this anymore.
00:47:16I'll cancel everything.
00:47:18The interviews, the red carpets. I don't want to be seen.
00:47:23I can't pretend. I just want him back.
00:47:27Honey, it's time to let him go.
00:47:30You don't love him anyway.
00:47:33And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:39What?
00:47:41How could you say something like that?
00:47:43Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:45He cares for me. He sees me.
00:47:48He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:52But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:47:55Daniel'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 I contraended?
00:48:06Contract?
00:48:08What contract?
00:48:13What are you talking about?
00:48:16Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:19When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:26Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:28Please. I just want the truth.
00:48:31Mom!
00:48:32Fine.
00:48:33I will tell you the truth.
00:48:36But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:41I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:44But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:47When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:54I had to save you.
00:48:56She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:48:59You've always been there for her.
00:49:02From film school to now.
00:49:04I'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.
00:49:18It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:22How could you do this to me?
00:49:25I wanted to protect you.
00:49:27You wanted to control me.
00:49:28All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:32Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:38You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:41Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:44He kept you together.
00:49:46Where?
00:49:47Where did he go?
00:49:49I know he told you where he went.
00:49:50Where is he?
00:49:52You can do better than him.
00:49:54You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:49:56Hollywood starlet.
00:49:57Believe me.
00:49:58It's for the best.
00:50:00No.
00:50:01He can't be gone.
00:50:02He can't.
00:50:03Yes.
00:50:04He is gone.
00:50:05And he is gone forever.
00:50:07He can't be.
00:50:08He can't be gone.
00:50:09He can't.
00:50:27He can't be gone.
00:50:28He's gone forever.
00:50:29He can't be gone forever.
00:50:30He can't be gone forever.
00:50:31He can't be gone forever.
00:50:33I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How The Team Silver Fox, that's already generated
00:50:38a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:41Speaking of which, there he is now.
00:50:42Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:44Daniel, 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 feet.
00:50:56Nobody told me how.
00:50:58Oh man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:01I've heard this talk in the sequel.
00:51:03Yeah, my career has been a long time in the making,
00:51:08and I've been very honest about it actually.
00:51:10I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:12But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:51:16And I feel like I found my voice, and it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:21Speaking of London, since you're an American rights director,
00:51:24will 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,
00:51:36that will make your life a living hell.
00:51:42Daniel?
00:51:57He'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 meeting lady.
00:52:07That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:52:10two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni
00:52:14of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:16Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:19We'll never tell.
00:52:25Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:52:27She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:29I know, jeez.
00:52:30This is so surreal.
00:52:31I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:33I can.
00:52:35The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:40Daniel, 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.
00:52:56Yes.
00:52:57I think so.
00:52:58I'll have it.
00:53:00Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:53:04Some of us just got a head start.
00:53:06I know.
00:53:20Our press is good press.
00:53:26Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:53:29and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:34You can't do this to me!
00:53:35Sabrina.
00:53:36You don't need him.
00:53:37Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:39How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:42Move on?
00:53:44Please, 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?
00:53:54I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:53:58He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:01Don't you see it?
00:54:02Sabrina.
00:54:03Sabrina.
00:54:04Look at what you've got.
00:54:06A celebrated career.
00:54:07A mansion in the hills.
00:54:09An adorable kid.
00:54:10Well, when he'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.
00:54:19I don't.
00:54:20Have.
00:54:21Him.
00:54:22Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:23Go have the chef make something.
00:54:25No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:26And 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.
00:54:32He's your dad.
00:54:33No.
00:54:34Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:36Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:39It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:41When did he get so cruel?
00:54:43You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:47A doormat.
00:54:48Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:50Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:52Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:53Enough!
00:54:54You little shit!
00:54:56Enough!
00:54:57Just enough!
00:54:58Sabrina?
00:54:59What's gotten into you?
00:55:02Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:05Whoa.
00:55:06What'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!
00:55:15I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:17And if you keep talking like that, I'm gonna put you in a timeout.
00:55:20It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:24Hey babe, are you really gonna get mad at Jackson for what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:33Really?
00:55:34Loser?
00:55:35Yeah.
00:55:36You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:39And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:48That's really, really low.
00:55:50Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year?
00:55:55Mom, we'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!
00:56:07Yeah, I 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, okay?
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.
00:56:37What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:39You 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.
00:56:59Hey, babe, come on.
00:57:00Please.
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 uglier.
00:57:10Get out.
00:57:11Hey, just...
00:57:12Now!
00:57:13Just give me your hand.
00:57:14Come on.
00:57:15No.
00:57:16I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:18Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:22I see all of you.
00:57:24And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:57:27He truly knew me.
00:57:30He loved me.
00:57:33Every flaw.
00:57:35Every fear.
00:57:36Contract or not.
00:57:38He truly loved me.
00:57:41I saved you from social suicide!
00:57:43Saved 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!
00:57:54Security!
00:57:56Come on.
00:57:57Just let's talk about this.
00:57:58No.
00:57:59Come on.
00:58:00Celeste!
00:58:01Do something!
00:58:02Sabrina!
00:58:03More!
00:58:04Sabrina!
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?
00:58:14The headlines?
00:58:15The brand deals?
00:58:16God!
00:58:17You'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.
00:58:29Then prove it.
00:58:31If you ever want me in front of the camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:36You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:51I'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.
00:59:03Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:05You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:07I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing alright.
00:59:09I got projects.
00:59:10Come on!
00:59:11You're built for billion dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in LA,
00:59:16not London.
00:59:17That's where you belong!
00:59:19To be honest, I already did LA.
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.
00:59:40200 million dollar budget each.
00:59:42Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:44I don't know what to say.
00:59:45Did I just say yes?
00:59:46You have my number?
00:59:47Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:50Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:52You can't run away from the past.
00:59:54You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:08Hey, 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?
01:00:16Of course.
01:00:17It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:22Is this a personal story?
01:00:24Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:27Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:31I'll leave it at that.
01:00:32You arrogant little shit.
01:00:34I told you if you ever sat foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:48It's Les Donovan.
01:00:50I need a favor.
01:00:51I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:57It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:02Mom?
01:01:03What are you doing?
01:01:07Did 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.
01:01:16Um, it's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:21He's back.
01:01:23Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:25Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:28I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:31I need to get on that movie.
01:01:33Absolutely 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.
01:01:40Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:42He still loves me.
01:01:45He has to.
01:01:47I just need to talk to him.
01:01:50Let him go.
01:01:53Mom.
01:01:55Honey, 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.
01:02:05I love you.
01:02:07I love you too.
01:02:13This is, um...
01:02:15It's another movie deal.
01:02:16I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:26I love you too.
01:02:27I love you too.
01:02:32Did you get his location?
01:02:35The Oaks.
01:02:368pm.
01:02:38After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
