00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:08That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:34Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:45Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son.
00:01:00But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:13All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:16But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:22You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:34I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:52What's going on?
00:01:57What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you...
00:02:07But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:14Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:24Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:26Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:30I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:34I saw Preston was there.
00:02:37I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you.
00:02:44And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:48Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:50But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:03:05Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:07He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please.
00:03:10I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Fanity Fair shoot.
00:03:17I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick.
00:03:20This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:22Ew, what is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:28Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:30You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them!
00:03:35Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:43I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:57And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough. Just enough.
00:04:05I want a divorce.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:21Huh?
00:04:23I want a di-
00:04:26I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:34Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:41Seriously?
00:04:42Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:45I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:48What is this?
00:04:50Another contract?
00:04:51How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:55It's not a...
00:04:56Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:57Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:01Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:04I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:09Pull my weight?
00:05:11Yeah, you get it.
00:05:13Mwah! Love you.
00:05:16I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:19If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:22Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:27The movie's Greenland, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:35We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:37I can't.
00:05:38My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:40After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:47At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:51I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:54Hey, Mom. How you doing?
00:05:56Oh, good, dear.
00:05:58I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:02Do you need more?
00:06:02No, no, no, no. You've already done so much.
00:06:06I'm just trying to help.
00:06:07I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:12I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:19I am, Mom.
00:06:21And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:29That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:30You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:33Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:34I gotta go. Love you.
00:06:39What is it, Mom?
00:06:41Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:43Our favorite leading man.
00:06:45Come on.
00:06:52Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:55and is stealing it back again.
00:06:59Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:07:02All right, cut.
00:07:10That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:13We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:16Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:18I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:22Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:24If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:29If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:29The man that broke my wife's heart
00:07:31...
00:07:54You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:17Sabrina, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:21I mean it.
00:08:22Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:26Just...
00:08:28Just give me your hand.
00:08:42No!
00:08:44Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:47No!
00:08:48Don't let me go!
00:08:50I won't ever let you go.
00:08:52I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:00Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:06And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:08Good to see you.
00:09:16Oh, my gosh.
00:09:18How long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, two long.
00:09:19Look at you!
00:09:21Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:24Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:25Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:27Are you kidding?
00:09:28Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:32Oh, there he is!
00:09:34The assistant!
00:09:35I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:39How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:43Stop!
00:09:44I can't believe my wife, but invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:51Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:54Daniel.
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:55Don't embarrass me.
00:09:56No, it's fine.
00:09:57Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:02He's not just tough.
00:10:03He's Brett Steele tough.
00:10:05You think, you know?
00:10:06My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:08He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:10Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of Dad's rules.
00:10:13What are you saying, huh?
00:10:15Yeah.
00:10:15Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:19That's fine.
00:10:21That's fine.
00:10:22Just relax, okay?
00:10:24Be nice.
00:10:33Some people never change.
00:10:34But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:41Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:43But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:53Ooh, careful.
00:10:55You all right?
00:10:58I'm still starving.
00:11:00Make me some food.
00:11:01Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:04Stew?
00:11:04Ooh.
00:11:05Ooh.
00:11:06What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:07I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:10Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:13I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:17Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:20What?
00:11:21For real?
00:11:22Yeah.
00:11:23My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:27Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:28I'm rich.
00:11:30Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:33I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:38See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:40You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:41You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:43They were so dull.
00:11:45Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:47Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:52So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:56My treat.
00:11:57Here we go.
00:11:58What?
00:11:59Yeah.
00:12:00Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:01I don't mind.
00:12:02All of you insist.
00:12:04I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:05So.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:09Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:13So.
00:12:13Anyways.
00:12:14Come on, Ben.
00:12:15Let's go.
00:12:17That's great.
00:12:17Gotcha.
00:12:18There we go.
00:12:18Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:22You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:25Last time.
00:12:26I promise.
00:12:28You're right.
00:12:30It is the last time.
00:12:33Hey, guys.
00:12:35Bye.
00:12:36Jackson.
00:12:43Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:47Contract's fine.
00:12:49It's over.
00:12:51Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:54I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:12:58After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:18Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:21She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:26Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:28I could scream.
00:13:29I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:30Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:34Oh, gee, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:38A scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:13:41Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:43Wait, are you two dating?
00:13:45Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:47All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:56Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:13:58You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:00Your brand?
00:14:02It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:04You get it, right?
00:14:14So, you two are a thing?
00:14:15Well, I...
00:14:16It's okay, babe.
00:14:17We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:28This is so going viral.
00:14:29I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:31That looks like more than dating.
00:14:33Is this your son?
00:14:34I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:37Don't be silly.
00:14:39You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:41That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:43He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:46But Preston is awesome.
00:14:49He's an action spy.
00:14:51I wish he was my dad.
00:14:53My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:56But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants
00:14:58when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty
00:15:01with a call girl.
00:15:02It's okay, buddy.
00:15:03Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:05If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:08That is if mom's cool with it.
00:15:11Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:12Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:15Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:15Come on.
00:15:19Let's get Michelle.
00:15:35Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:38I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:43Sabrina will end up on top,
00:15:45and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:49Daniel!
00:15:51You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:53And the sound of it,
00:15:55your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:57Daniel, he's here?
00:15:59Did he see us?
00:16:00Is he looking over here?
00:16:01Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:02I was just doing that for publicity.
00:16:04I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:05Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:07Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:16:09Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:11Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:13Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:15Jackson, enough.
00:16:17What do I do?
00:16:19Well, that's it then.
00:16:21Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:22I need to leverage her relationship with Preston,
00:16:25with the tabloids.
00:16:26I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:30You're really good at that.
00:16:31Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:34A one-way ticket,
00:16:37so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:41I know the contract is over,
00:16:42but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:46I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:49Daniel loves me.
00:16:50He has to understand.
00:16:51This is Hollywood.
00:16:52It's just part of the job.
00:16:55Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:02Daniel, what is this?
00:17:04I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:07All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:10Are you going somewhere?
00:17:12Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:15We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:18Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:20A vacation?
00:17:21Finally.
00:17:22You're paying attention.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:25I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:27Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:28What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:31Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:32That's not what I meant.
00:17:33Whoa.
00:17:34Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:36That's fine.
00:17:38Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit,
00:17:40just like any good husband would.
00:17:42Oh, I see.
00:17:44Is it me?
00:17:45Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:47I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:49I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:51You know what?
00:17:52Maybe I should go.
00:17:53I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:55No, please stay.
00:17:56I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:17:59No, you know what?
00:18:00I'll go.
00:18:02And clearly she wants you.
00:18:04I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:05Daniel, wait.
00:18:08I won't ever let you go.
00:18:09He won't leave.
00:18:10He promised.
00:18:12It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:14We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:17I'm going to go back.
00:18:18Daniel!
00:18:25Please.
00:18:26Better than yours.
00:18:28Yeah.
00:18:29Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:31Oh, good.
00:18:34You're up.
00:18:35Um, after dinner, we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:18:40It's fun.
00:18:42Don't look at me like that.
00:18:44I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:46Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:51How lucky for him.
00:18:52He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:55Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:18:59Listen, man, I...
00:19:00I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:05You can trust me.
00:19:07Preston, I think you're absolutely wrong.
00:19:10You need to go right now.
00:19:11All right.
00:19:13Oh, hey.
00:19:15Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:17I...
00:19:17I...
00:19:17When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:22I...
00:19:23I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:26Just ignore him.
00:19:27He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:29No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:32Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:34Jealous?
00:19:36Yeah.
00:19:37My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:38Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:44You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:51That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:19:57Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:01Oh, my God.
00:20:04God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:08Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:13No, it's not like that.
00:20:14I...
00:20:15What?
00:20:17You know what?
00:20:18Fine.
00:20:21You two look great together.
00:20:23Daniel, I...
00:20:23And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:39I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:51Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:55I was never the homemaker.
00:21:01Please, Daniel.
00:21:02Daniel.
00:21:02Daniel.
00:21:02Daniel.
00:21:02Daniel.
00:21:02Daniel.
00:21:02Daniel.
00:21:02Daniel.
00:21:02Daniel.
00:21:03Daniel.
00:21:03Daniel.
00:21:03Daniel.
00:21:04Daniel.
00:21:05Daniel.
00:21:06Daniel.
00:21:07Daniel.
00:21:08I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:17If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:24I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:26Daniel.
00:21:27Daniel.
00:21:29Daniel.
00:21:30Daniel.
00:21:31Daniel.
00:21:32Daniel.
00:21:33Daniel.
00:21:34Daniel.
00:21:35Daniel.
00:21:36Daniel.
00:21:37Daniel.
00:21:38Daniel.
00:21:39Daniel.
00:21:40Daniel.
00:21:41Daniel.
00:21:42Daniel.
00:21:43Daniel.
00:21:44Daniel.
00:21:45Daniel.
00:21:46Daniel.
00:21:47Daniel.
00:21:48Daniel.
00:21:49Daniel.
00:21:50Daniel.
00:21:51Daniel.
00:21:52Daniel.
00:21:53Daniel.
00:21:54Daniel.
00:21:55Daniel.
00:21:56Daniel.
00:21:57Daniel.
00:21:58Daniel.
00:21:59Daniel.
00:22:00There he is.
00:22:05God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:07Man, no, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:11Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:15Got some.
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:18What do you need?
00:22:18Oh, oh.
00:22:19Yeah, there you go.
00:22:21I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:23Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:25Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:30Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:22:37No.
00:22:38A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:40Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:45It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:22:58What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:00Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:01I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:05And it's unfair.
00:23:06That's a shame, huh?
00:23:07You know what?
00:23:08Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:10Here we go.
00:23:11Ooh.
00:23:13No!
00:23:14Not to play with them.
00:23:16You never let me do anything!
00:23:18Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:22You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:24It's not about the money.
00:23:26It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:28Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:32Yeah?
00:23:33What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:35You're so annoying!
00:23:38Don't push.
00:23:39I said don't push.
00:23:45Go get a book or something.
00:23:47Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:48He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:51God, what the hell?
00:23:52Just shut me.
00:23:57Call it a lesson.
00:23:58I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:23:59He's not your kid.
00:24:01I wish I was.
00:24:02I hope mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:05I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:08Ouch.
00:24:09I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:11So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:13Maybe it will be.
00:24:14But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:18You?
00:24:19Man of the house, please.
00:24:21You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:23I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid,
00:24:24much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:27You're a washed up pack.
00:24:28Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:30How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:32I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:34I'm a fucking star.
00:24:36A star?
00:24:37A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:41Jackson, come on.
00:24:42I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:43No, I'm not going.
00:24:45Preston's way cooler than you.
00:24:47Preston, Preston, Preston.
00:24:51You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:15What was that?
00:25:20Let's go.
00:25:23Daniel!
00:25:24What is happening?
00:25:26It was Dad, Mom.
00:25:27Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:25:30What?
00:25:30I'm so scared.
00:25:31You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:32What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:34I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:35I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:37What?
00:25:37I didn't?
00:25:38Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:40You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:42I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:44He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:46It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:25:47Grow up.
00:25:48Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:50What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:53What?
00:25:53Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:25:57Maybe I should go.
00:25:58I'm sorry.
00:25:59No.
00:26:00Oh, my God.
00:26:02He's lying.
00:26:03You're a monster.
00:26:06And in front of your son?
00:26:07You have to be kidding.
00:26:09We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:12We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:14Come on.
00:26:15Clean this up.
00:26:18Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:23She's mine now, loser.
00:26:24You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight.
00:26:54to pump people's liquid.
00:26:56To be honest, I could use a break from home.
00:27:00Trouble with the missus?
00:27:03Yeah.
00:27:05Pretty obvious.
00:27:06Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:10I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:17True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:20I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:23You said, um, a couple?
00:27:26I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:27:31She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:35She was so sweet.
00:27:41Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:44No, it's...
00:27:45It's an old wound.
00:27:46I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:51Daniel!
00:27:53Sweet and caring.
00:27:56So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:27:59He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:01and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:03Fuck you!
00:28:09Fuck it.
00:28:11Let me don't get my shit in, y'all.
00:28:14Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:16You once liked my short film.
00:28:18I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:19It needs the right producer.
00:28:29I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:34Where have you been?
00:28:36I kept calling.
00:28:37I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:40Huh?
00:28:44What?
00:28:45I've been busy.
00:28:46Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:47Uh, seriously?
00:28:50Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:52I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:56Yeah.
00:28:57That's what you want to call it?
00:28:59I...
00:29:00I just...
00:29:01I'm sorry, I...
00:29:04Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:11It is what it is.
00:29:13But, I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:16You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:21And I think you should go for it.
00:29:23I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:26But, I just...
00:29:27I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:33Seriously.
00:29:34I...
00:29:34I care about you.
00:29:36I'm no man.
00:29:42I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:44I know when you're angry.
00:29:45Really?
00:29:46I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:48I pay attention?
00:29:50Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:53She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:56That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:29:57A headline.
00:29:59A performance.
00:29:59Sabrina...
00:30:01Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:06You know what?
00:30:08I hate fighting.
00:30:09So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:12I was thinking...
00:30:13We could revisit your script.
00:30:16I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:21You're telling me you finally read it?
00:30:23Well, yeah.
00:30:24The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:28The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:31I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:32Me and you.
00:30:33The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:37I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:41A long time ago.
00:30:42Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:50Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:53There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:56I would have melted in her hands.
00:30:59Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:01Bye.
00:31:12I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:31:24I've had a lot of experience making it for you.
00:31:26I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:31:27That's not what I meant.
00:31:30I like it when you make it.
00:31:33I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:36I knew it.
00:31:40You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:42I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:46God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:51Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:54It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:56No, Daniel.
00:31:57No, that's not what I meant.
00:31:59Look what you made me do.
00:32:06Just leave it.
00:32:10I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:14And what?
00:32:15It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:16I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:19And look what I get for it.
00:32:21You know what?
00:32:22Forget it.
00:32:23I have a premiere.
00:32:24We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:29What?
00:32:41Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:43Yeah.
00:32:44Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:45Not quite.
00:32:46That was the divorce contract.
00:32:47But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:32:52This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:54Remember that.
00:32:54I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:32:59I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:12Oh, please.
00:33:13She's always been so secretive.
00:33:15I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:33:18Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:21I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:24Oh, well.
00:33:27If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:30Come here.
00:33:31Oh.
00:33:34Jackson!
00:33:35We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:38Do you know where she is?
00:33:39Or who she's with?
00:33:41She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:42He's been staying with us.
00:33:44Oh.
00:33:45Really?
00:33:46Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:50Oh, I hope so.
00:33:51I really hope so.
00:33:52He's way cooler than my old, boring, real dad.
00:33:55Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:33:59Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:08What are you doing here?
00:34:09You never come to these things.
00:34:11Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:14Get lost.
00:34:15You embarrass us.
00:34:16Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:19I'm your father.
00:34:20I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:24Is there a problem?
00:34:30Oh, my God.
00:34:32That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:33How could Sabrina choose this flap over Preston?
00:34:37If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:44You should probably listen to your kid and head out, because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:51That's not what I see.
00:34:53You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:01That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:04It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:06And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:11This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:14You were revolting.
00:35:16No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:18Hey.
00:35:20Why don't you watch her mouth?
00:35:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:25Yeah.
00:35:26Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:27Oh, yeah?
00:35:28What lesson's that, Preston?
00:35:30You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on, so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:34Hmm.
00:35:38Oh!
00:35:39What the hell?
00:35:58What happened?
00:36:00Oh, my God!
00:36:01Daniel!
00:36:02What the hell happened?
00:36:04Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:05Are you okay?
00:36:07Look at her go.
00:36:08Hollywood's finest.
00:36:10Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:13It's Daniel.
00:36:14He's a monster.
00:36:16He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:19Mommy!
00:36:19Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:22No.
00:36:23No, that's not true.
00:36:24If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:30Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:33Daniel.
00:36:35Is that true?
00:36:36Sabrina.
00:36:38Sabrina.
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:42Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:44I think one of them's broken.
00:36:46Sabrina?
00:36:47Honey?
00:36:48We need to help Preston.
00:36:51But Daniel.
00:36:56Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:36:59Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:13I have to help Preston.
00:37:16I have to help Preston.
00:37:20Come on, Jackson.
00:37:35Daniel!
00:37:35I got you.
00:37:40Don't let me go!
00:37:42She's made her choice.
00:37:44There's no going back.
00:37:45We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to
00:37:47after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:57Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:02Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:04I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:06There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:11Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:13In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:38:20I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:36Don't worry about it. Just drive.
00:38:38I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:54Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:38:56Seriously?
00:39:00Slow down.
00:39:01I know.
00:39:02Why is he down?
00:39:03Oh.
00:39:03I'm going to go call the doctor, okay?
00:39:08What are you doing? I thought you were hurt.
00:39:10I think I'll pull through.
00:39:11Listen, what are you doing?
00:39:20I don't know what I've always wanted to.
00:39:22Come on.
00:39:23I know you want this.
00:39:24I see the way you look at me.
00:39:26Now that Daniel's gone,
00:39:28we have the house to ourself.
00:39:29I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:32What am I doing?
00:39:43Daniel is still injured.
00:39:45He should be home.
00:39:49Sabrina?
00:39:50Listen, get off.
00:40:03What?
00:40:04Babe, we can finally come here.
00:40:06I said get off.
00:40:07What?
00:40:08I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:09No, forget about him.
00:40:11Look, I love Jackson,
00:40:14and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:40:16I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:40:20I mean, come on.
00:40:21Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:40:24Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:26What?
00:40:27Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:31No.
00:40:32No.
00:40:33What have I done?
00:40:35Where is he?
00:40:37What about me?
00:40:38You had your chance ten years ago.
00:40:41I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:46Hello?
00:40:50Excuse me.
00:40:52Excuse me.
00:40:53Hi.
00:40:54Have you seen my husband?
00:40:56Please.
00:40:56He was someone bleeding out.
00:40:58I saw him stumble outside holding his head
00:41:00after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:02He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:06Oh, no.
00:41:08Daniel, where are you?
00:41:09I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach
00:41:12is no longer in service.
00:41:14Please try again later.
00:41:16What have I done?
00:41:27Come on, Daniel.
00:41:29Answer me.
00:41:35He's not gone.
00:41:37I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:41I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:43He loves me too much to abandon me
00:41:50when I need him the most.
00:41:52No.
00:41:55It's not possible.
00:41:57He will be back.
00:42:00No.
00:42:01Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:14Claims zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:16The waives all spousal support.
00:42:19No.
00:42:20No.
00:42:20He can't leave me.
00:42:22He can't do this to me.
00:42:23I won't sign off on it.
00:42:34No.
00:42:36All this time,
00:42:38he's going to leave me.
00:42:49No.
00:42:50It can't be.
00:42:57It's not a...
00:42:58Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:43:00My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:02He loves me.
00:43:04He loves Jackson.
00:43:06He wouldn't just leave us.
00:43:08We're his family.
00:43:09After all these years,
00:43:11everything we've been through...
00:43:15I got you.
00:43:36They'll let me go.
00:43:38Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:44Daniel?
00:43:46No, it's Mom.
00:43:47Is everything okay?
00:43:48You sound panicked.
00:43:49Mom.
00:43:51Mom.
00:43:53Daniel.
00:43:54He just left us.
00:43:57Do you know where he is?
00:43:59We have to find him.
00:44:01We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:03Oh, honey.
00:44:05It's over.
00:44:06Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:08You knew?
00:44:09I'll come over in the morning
00:44:11and explain everything.
00:44:20I'm hungry!
00:44:22Dad!
00:44:23Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:44:26Jackson?
00:44:29I have something to tell you.
00:44:31Your dad.
00:44:36Your dad.
00:44:38He's left us.
00:44:40I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:43Yay!
00:44:43He's gone!
00:44:43He's gone!
00:44:45Why would you say that?
00:44:47He was so embarrassing.
00:44:49Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:50Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:52What did Preston say?
00:44:53He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:44:56should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:44:57than raising a young man.
00:44:59He was so lame and boring.
00:45:03Now he's gone!
00:45:04Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:45:07He can be my new dad.
00:45:08Jackson!
00:45:10You have a dad!
00:45:11And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:14Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:15Hello?
00:45:22Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:24Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:27I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:29I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:30Large sums have been wired to someone named
00:45:33Preston Eastwood.
00:45:34Was that done with your approval?
00:45:36No, but I'm not surprised.
00:45:38Flag his name.
00:45:40I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:41Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you
00:45:45say Preston's name again.
00:45:47Okay?
00:45:48He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:50Your father, the one who raised you
00:45:52and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:54And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:57What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:01It's despicable.
00:46:02I can't do this anymore.
00:46:05I cancel everything.
00:46:06The interviews and the red carpets,
00:46:09I don't want to be seen.
00:46:11I can't pretend.
00:46:13I just want him back.
00:46:15Oh, honey.
00:46:17It's time to let him go.
00:46:19You don't love him anyway.
00:46:22Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:28What?
00:46:29How could you say something like that?
00:46:31Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:34He cares for me.
00:46:35He sees me.
00:46:36He was there for me
00:46:38when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:41But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:44Daniel's my husband.
00:46:46And the father of my son.
00:46:47Yeah, some husband.
00:46:49Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:51Wanting nothing to do with his child
00:46:52just because the contract ended.
00:46:54Contract?
00:46:56What contract?
00:47:01What are you talking about?
00:47:03Forget it.
00:47:05Forget it.
00:47:06Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:08When I caught you and Daniel
00:47:09at the restaurant the other day,
00:47:11you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:13Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:15Please.
00:47:16I just want the truth.
00:47:18Mom.
00:47:20Fine.
00:47:21I will tell you the truth.
00:47:23But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:25I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:31But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:37When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:41I had to save you.
00:47:43She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:44You've always been there for her.
00:47:48From film school to now.
00:47:50I've seen it.
00:47:52She needs you.
00:47:53Stay.
00:47:54Marry her.
00:47:55Love her.
00:47:57So that she's never alone again.
00:48:04It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:07How could you do this to me?
00:48:10I wanted to protect you.
00:48:12You wanted to control me.
00:48:14All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:17Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:23You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:27Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:29He kept you together.
00:48:31Where?
00:48:32Where did he go?
00:48:33I know he told you where he went.
00:48:36Where is he?
00:48:37You can do better than him.
00:48:39You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:48:41Hollywood starlet.
00:48:43Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:45No.
00:48:46He can't be gone.
00:48:47He can't.
00:48:48Yes.
00:48:49He is gone.
00:48:50And he is gone forever.
00:48:52He can't be.
00:48:53He can't be gone.
00:48:54He can't.
00:49:07I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox that's already generated
00:49:14a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:17Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:25Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:29What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:31Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:35Nobody told me how.
00:49:37Oh, man.
00:49:38How uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:40I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:42Yeah.
00:49:44God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:49:47And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:49:49I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:51But London?
00:49:53London lit the fire under me.
00:49:54And I feel like I found my voice.
00:49:56And it really is full steam ahead.
00:49:59Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way
00:50:03back to Hollywood?
00:50:06Hollywood.
00:50:08Get out of the country.
00:50:09If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life
00:50:16a living hell.
00:50:19Daniel?
00:50:34He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:37Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:45That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:50:49actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:53Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:50:57We'll never tell.
00:50:58Oh, my God.
00:51:02Thanks for saving me, Emily.
00:51:04She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:06I know.
00:51:06Jeez.
00:51:07This is so surreal.
00:51:09I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:11I can.
00:51:12The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:16Daniel.
00:51:18Enjoy this.
00:51:19And get used to compliments.
00:51:22There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:24Fuck.
00:51:25Finish me, I know.
00:51:26I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:30You okay?
00:51:31You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:33I know.
00:51:33It's, um, I'll have it.
00:51:36Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:41Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:42Matthew, our press is good press.
00:52:01Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:52:04and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:09You can't do this to me!
00:52:11Sabrina, you don't need him!
00:52:14Let him have his 15 minutes of fame!
00:52:15How could he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:18Move on?
00:52:20Please, honey.
00:52:21He is using her.
00:52:23Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:26He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:29How could you say that?
00:52:30I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:34He's proving that to the whole world!
00:52:37Don't you see it?
00:52:37Sabrina, look at what you've got.
00:52:40A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:52:46Well, when he's not whining.
00:52:48And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:52:51You have everything.
00:52:53I don't have him.
00:52:56Mom, I'm hungry.
00:52:57Go have the chef make something.
00:52:59No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:02Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:04Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:06He's your dad.
00:53:07No!
00:53:08Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:10Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:13It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:15When did he get so cruel?
00:53:18You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:21A doormat.
00:53:22Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:24Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:26Enough!
00:53:27You little shit!
00:53:31Enough!
00:53:32Just enough!
00:53:33Sabrina?
00:53:34What's gotten into you?
00:53:36Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:39Whoa.
00:53:41What's going on here?
00:53:42This room feels really tense.
00:53:44Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:46I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:47No!
00:53:48I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:51And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:54It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:54:01Hey, babe.
00:54:02Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:06Really?
00:54:07Loser?
00:54:08Yeah.
00:54:08You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:11And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:17That's really, really low.
00:54:23Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:28Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:54:30To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:34Face it, Preston.
00:54:35You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:38And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:41Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:42You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:45I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:48Because you know what?
00:54:49Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:50It's not like that.
00:54:52Okay?
00:54:52Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:54:55I want to marry you.
00:54:57We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:54:59What's my birthday?
00:55:01Huh?
00:55:02What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:04What's my favorite color?
00:55:05My favorite song?
00:55:06Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:09Oh, oh, wait.
00:55:10What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:12You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:14You don't love me.
00:55:16You don't even know me.
00:55:17This isn't a relationship.
00:55:19This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:22And you know what?
00:55:23I'm done.
00:55:24Get out.
00:55:25I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:28We're over.
00:55:30We're over.
00:55:31No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:32Please, please, I love you.
00:55:34Just think about it.
00:55:36Think of the press.
00:55:36What this will look like.
00:55:37If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:42Get out.
00:55:43Hey, just...
00:55:44Now.
00:55:45Just give me your hand.
00:55:46Come on.
00:55:46No.
00:55:47I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:50Nobody sees around me.
00:55:52I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:53I see all of you.
00:55:56And you're never going to be alone again.
00:55:59He truly knew me.
00:56:02He loved me.
00:56:03Every flaw, every fear, contract or not, he truly loved me.
00:56:11I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:13Saved me?
00:56:15You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:18Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:20And he saved me from you.
00:56:23Security!
00:56:26Security!
00:56:27Come on.
00:56:27Just let's talk about this.
00:56:29No.
00:56:30Come on.
00:56:30Celeste, do something.
00:56:32Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:34Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:36Was that really necessary?
00:56:38I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:42Is that all you care about?
00:56:44The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:56:47God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:53Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:56:56Of course I care about you.
00:56:58I love you.
00:56:59Then prove it.
00:57:01If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:06You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:20I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:23In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:27I mean, you know this.
00:57:30You're a legend.
00:57:31I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:33All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:34You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:37I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:39I got projects.
00:57:40Come on.
00:57:41You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:57:45not London.
00:57:46That's where you belong.
00:57:49To be honest, I already did all.
00:57:50It didn't really end well.
00:57:52Let me guess.
00:57:53My girl?
00:57:54If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:00You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:03You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:07You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:08Three-picture deal.
00:58:09$200 million budget each.
00:58:11Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:13I don't know what to say.
00:58:14Just say yes.
00:58:15You have my number.
00:58:17Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:19Just remember, Daniel, you can't run away from the past.
00:58:22You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:35Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:38Can we talk?
00:58:40Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:44Of course.
00:58:45It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:50Is this a personal story?
00:58:52Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:55Oh.
00:58:58She knows who she is.
00:58:59Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:04You arrogant little shit.
00:59:05I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:15It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:17I need a favor.
00:59:18I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:24It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:29Mom?
00:59:29What are you doing?
00:59:30Did you just break my TV?
00:59:36Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:40You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:41You've been so kind, though.
00:59:42Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:48He's back.
00:59:50Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:52Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:55I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:59:57I need to get on that movie.
00:59:59Absolutely not.
01:00:01You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:02If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:06Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:08He still loves me.
01:00:11He has to.
01:00:13I just need to talk to him.
01:00:15Let him go.
01:00:19Mom.
01:00:21Honey, I...
01:00:23You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:27I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:31I love you.
01:00:33I love you, too.
01:00:37Here we go.
01:00:39This is, um...
01:00:41It's another movie deal.
01:00:42I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:43Okay.
01:00:44Okay.
01:00:44Okay.
01:00:44Did you get his location?
01:01:01The Oaks.
01:01:028 p.m.
01:01:04After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:08He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:20She's not protecting me.
01:01:22She's protecting her business.
01:01:24And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:26But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:28It's so nice having you back.
01:01:33And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:35Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:37A couple?
01:01:39Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:42If you can even call them that.
01:01:44But you're healthy now.
01:01:45And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:47I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:01:49I love Sabrina, but...
01:01:50I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:52The marriage, the kids...
01:01:53I mean, we really tried.
01:01:56I thought I could make it go for it, but...
01:01:58It's over.
01:02:01It's over.
01:02:02I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Dyswick can offer.
01:02:13Oh.
01:02:14You haven't heard?
01:02:17She dumped him.
01:02:18It was all over People magazine.
01:02:20She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:23Oh, my God.
01:02:24What?
01:02:30Daniel!
01:02:34Stop!
01:02:42Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:44I'm here to help you.
01:02:46Sabrina?
01:02:47You're making a scene.
01:02:49Let's go home.
01:02:50Sabrina?
01:02:50How could you?
01:02:51I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:02:56I begged and pleaded.
01:02:57Stop lying.
01:02:59I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:03And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:03:08My God.
01:03:10You're disgusting.
01:03:11I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:12Not anymore.
01:03:13Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:18I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:22I'm your mother.
01:03:24I only want what's best for you.
01:03:26What's best for me?
01:03:30You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:34And that all ends today.
01:03:39You're fired.
01:03:42Fired.
01:03:44No.
01:03:46No.
01:03:51No.
01:03:52You can't do this to me.
01:03:54Please.
01:03:55Please, sweetie.
01:03:56I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:57You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:04:01I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:05You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:08There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:11I made you.
01:04:12You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:17I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:25We're done here, Mom.
01:04:26If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:34Without another word.
01:04:46I have something to say.
01:04:47I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:53I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:56I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:05:01I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:10Apologize to your father.
01:05:12Do I have to?
01:05:13Who raised you?
01:05:16Cared for you.
01:05:19Packed your lunches when I was on set.
01:05:22Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick.
01:05:26He did.
01:05:27He loved you.
01:05:28But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:31I was wrong.
01:05:32Jackson.
01:05:33He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:37And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:41I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:45It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:48I still love you.
01:05:49Okay.
01:05:50Come on, Jackson.
01:05:51Let's go.
01:05:52Let's go.
01:05:58I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:01For everything.
01:06:02I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:14You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:18I just didn't know it'd be this hard.
01:06:21They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:22They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:30People can change.
01:06:33But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:35And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:46Daniel!
01:06:47Daniel!
01:06:47Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel, Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:06:55Yes.
01:06:56I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:07:00But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:03Um, I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:15Way to go, Jan!
01:07:16Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:37We'll keep it to us.
01:07:44How many more do we have today?
01:07:4540, sir.
01:07:47Jeez.
01:07:47Hey, boy!
01:07:49How we looking?
01:07:50Still big in here.
01:07:51Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:54I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:58Alright, here's the deal.
01:07:59The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:08:03Today?
01:08:04Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:05That's why I love you, man.
01:08:07Cool under pressure.
01:08:08This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:11Oh, my God.
01:08:14Alright, just bring in the next one.
01:08:16Ah.
01:08:17But that would be...
01:08:19Emily Blake.
01:08:22Emily.
01:08:23Amazing, as always.
01:08:31You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:34Please.
01:08:35I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:38So, how's L.A. treating you?
01:08:42Oh, my God.
01:08:43Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:45But I am...
01:08:47I'm glad to be back.
01:08:49Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:51Yeah.
01:08:51But it suits you.
01:08:54You definitely belong here.
01:08:58I do miss you, though.
01:09:01It was fun.
01:09:02Playing the part.
01:09:04British starlet.
01:09:05American director.
01:09:07I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:12Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:17Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:19You were amazing, as always.
01:09:23It's just...
01:09:25It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:29I never was, was I?
01:09:32Anyways.
01:09:33Got a few more auditions while I'm in town?
01:09:36Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:38Yeah.
01:09:49Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:52Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:55And be generous with the sugar.
01:10:02Oh, my God.
01:10:04What am I going to do?
01:10:11That was quick.
01:10:12What are you doing here?
01:10:25I came to audition.
01:10:29Did you bring any representation?
01:10:31No.
01:10:32I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:35I'm starting fresh.
01:10:37Right.
01:10:37Um...
01:10:38Hi.
01:10:42I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:47Don't let me go!
01:10:48I got you.
01:10:49I'll never let you go.
01:10:53Are you okay?
01:10:54Yeah.
01:10:55It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:57never really healed.
01:11:01I understand.
01:11:01Daniel Johnson.
01:11:08Nice to meet you.
01:11:12Please.
01:11:20Whenever you're ready.
01:11:21Thanks.
01:11:46Bye.
01:11:46Bye.
01:11:48Bye.
01:11:48Bye.
01:11:49Bye.
01:11:50Bye.
01:11:50Bye.
01:11:50Bye.
