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, oh!
00:02:08But 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!
00:03:05You 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. This 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! Chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets!
00:03:31You 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?
00:04:22I 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.
00:04:57It's hard 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?
00:05:10Yeah, 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.
00:07:29What the fuck?
00:07:59You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:03There's nothing left.
00:08:17Sabrina, don't!
00:08:19Stay back.
00:08:21I mean it.
00:08:23Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:29Just give me your hand.
00:08:43No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:47I got you.
00:08:49Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:57I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:01Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:05I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:09Good to see ya!
00:09:13Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:15Oh, two months.
00:09:16Look at you!
00:09:17Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:21Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:23Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:25Are you kidding?
00:09:26Oh, Daniel, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:29No!
00:09:31Oh, there he is!
00:09:33The 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!
00:09:45I can't believe my wife would 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.
00:09:56No, it's fine.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58Whoa, you?
00:09:59Played Bret Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:02He's not just tough, he's Bret Steele tough, you think, kiddo?
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?
00:10:14Yeah.
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.
00:10:25Some people never change.
00:10:35But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:10:40again.
00:10:41Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:42But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the sale.
00:10:45Oh, careful.
00:10:46You all right?
00:10:47I'm still starving.
00:10:48Make me some food.
00:10:49Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:10:51Stew?
00:10:52Ew.
00:10:53Ew.
00:10:54What is this?
00:10:55A soup kitchen?
00:10:56I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets.
00:10:58Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:01I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:02Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:03Oh, babe.
00:11:04For real?
00:11:05Yeah.
00:11:06Yeah.
00:11:07My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:08Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:09I'm rich.
00:11:10Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:11I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:34I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:38See, Dina, that was always your problem. You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:41You realize that's why no one bought your scripts. They were so dull.
00:11:45Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:48Lucky 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.
00:11:58Here we go.
00:11:58What to do?
00:12:00Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:01I don't mind.
00:12:02All of you insist. I mean, I'm already dressed, so...
00:12:06Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress code, so...
00:12:13Anyways, come on, Ben, let's go!
00:12:17That's great.
00:12:17Gotcha.
00:12:18There we go.
00:12:19Oh, there's Paps.
00:12:22You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:25Last time. I promise.
00:12:28You're right.
00:12:29It is the last time.
00:12:33Hey, guys.
00:12:35Hi.
00:12:35Jackson.
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.
00:12:50Why 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.
00:13:01Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:21She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:24Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:28I could scream. I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:30Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:35Oh, 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 brain?
00:14:02It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:04You get it, right?
00:14:13So, you two are a thing?
00:14:15Well, I...
00:14:16Oh, it'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.
00:14:31It 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 when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with 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?
00:15:18Come on.
00:15:19Let's give him a show.
00:15:20Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:38I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:43Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:49Daniel!
00:15:50You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:53And the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:57Daniel, he's here?
00:15:58He...
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.
00:16:06Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:07Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina 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.
00:16:15What do I do?
00:16:19Well, that's it then.
00:16:21Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:23I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:26I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:29You're really good at that.
00:16:31Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:35A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:40I know the contract is over, but 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?
00:17:05I 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, 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.
00:17:29What 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...
00:18:16I'm going to go back.
00:18:21Daniel!
00:18:22Daniel!
00:18:22Oh, please.
00:18:26Better than yours.
00:18:28Yeah.
00:18:29Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:31Oh!
00:18:33Oh, 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.
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 too drunk.
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, I, when you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:22I, I'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?
00:19:37My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:40Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:44You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:48That'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 can look after him?
00:20:03My God.
00:20:04My God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:08Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:12No, it's not like that.
00:20:14I, what?
00:20:16You know what, fine.
00:20:21You two look great together.
00:20:23Daniel, I...
00:20:35And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:42Um...
00:20:43I 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.
00:21:02I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:20If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:24I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:38Look at her now.
00:21:40Playing house for another man.
00:21:42If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:46There he is.
00:22:05God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:07Man.
00:22:08No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:11Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:12I've got some.
00:22:16Yeah.
00:22:17What do you need?
00:22:18Oh, oh.
00:22:19Yeah, there you go.
00:22:21I'd offer you some of this shit, but...
00:22:22I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:23Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:25Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:31Hey, uh...
00:22:32You're not pissed off that your wife had a date during you last night, right?
00:22:37No.
00:22:37A 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.
00:22:49What'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!
00:23:13It's...
00:23:13not to play with them.
00:23:16You never let me do anything!
00:23:19Come on.
00:23:20It'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.
00:23:44I 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 is he just showing 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 permanent?
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?
00:24:20Please.
00:24:21You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:23I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much 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!
00:24:48Preston!
00:24:49Preston!
00:24:50Preston!
00:24:50Preston!
00:24:52Preston!
00:24:54Preston!
00:24:56Preston!
00:24:58Preston!
00:24:59Preston!
00:25:00Preston!
00:25:01Preston!
00:25:02You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:16What 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?
00:25:30You're so serious!
00:25:31You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:32I...
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!
00:25:47Bro, up!
00:25:48Remember where in the public eye?
00:25:51What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:53What?
00:25:53Everyone knows your precious press had attacked me?
00:25:55Maybe I should go.
00:25:58I'm sorry.
00:25:59No!
00:26:00Oh, my God!
00:26:02He's lying!
00:26:04You'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.
00:26:21Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:26:33Hello, 911.
00:26:34What's your emergency?
00:26:36I'm bleeding out.
00:26:37I think I hit an artery.
00:26:39I need an ambulance now.
00:26:41Now.
00:26:41Now.
00:26:41You did lose a lot of blood, so we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump
00:26:55you with liquids.
00:26:57To be honest, that's...
00:26:58I could use a break from home.
00:27:00Trouble with the missus?
00:27:01Uh, yeah.
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 them since breaking the ice.
00:27:24You said, um, a couple?
00:27:25I 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...
00:27:46It's an old wound.
00:27:48I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:51Daniel!
00:27:53Sweet and caring.
00:27:55So 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.
00:28:09Fuck it.
00:28:11I'm gonna get my shit and go.
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.
00:28:19And...
00:28:20It 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.
00:28:39Huh?
00:28:44What?
00:28:45I've been busy.
00:28:46Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:49Seriously?
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?
00:28:58I...
00:28:59I...
00:29:00I just...
00:29:02I'm sorry.
00:29:03I...
00:29:04Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:11It is what it is.
00:29:13But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:17You 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.
00:29:25But, I just...
00:29:28I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:32Seriously.
00:29:34I...
00:29:34I care about you.
00:29:40I'm not that.
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?
00:29:52She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:56That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:29:58A headline.
00:29:59A performance.
00:30:01Sabrina.
00:30:06Sabrina, 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...
00:30:14We 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.
00:31:24No, you like it.
00:31:24That's not what I meant.
00:31:27I like it when you make it.
00:31:30I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:35I knew it.
00:31:35You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:39I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:43God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:48Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:51It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:53No, Daniel.
00:31:54No, that's not what I meant.
00:31:55Look what you made me do.
00:32:03Just leave it.
00:32:07I just thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:11And what?
00:32:12It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:13I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:16And look what I get for it.
00:32:18You know what?
00:32:19Forget it.
00:32:20I have a premiere.
00:32:21We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:25What?
00:32:38Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:40Yeah.
00:32:41Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:42Not quite.
00:32:43That was the divorce contract.
00:32:44But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:32:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:51Remember that.
00:32:51I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:32:55I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:09Oh, please.
00:33:10She's always been so secretive.
00:33:12I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:33:15Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:21Oh, well, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:27Come here.
00:33:28Oh.
00:33:31Jackson!
00:33:32We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:34Do you know where she is?
00:33:36Or who she's with?
00:33:38She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:39He's been staying with us.
00:33:41Oh.
00:33:42Really?
00:33:43Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:47Oh, I hope so.
00:33:48I really hope so.
00:33:49He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:33:52Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:33:56Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:05What are you doing here?
00:34:06You never come to these things.
00:34:08Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:09Get lost.
00:34:12You embarrass us.
00:34:14Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:16I'm your father.
00:34:17I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:21Is there a problem?
00:34:27Oh, my God.
00:34:29That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:30How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:34If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:36I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:38You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:40Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:41You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:46I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:48That's not what I see.
00:34:50You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:34:58That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:01It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:04And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:08This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:11You were revolting.
00:35:13No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:15Hey.
00:35:17Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:19Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:22Yeah.
00:35:23Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:24Oh, yeah?
00:35:25What lesson is that, Preston?
00:35:27You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:31Hmm.
00:35:32What the hell?
00:35:55What happened?
00:35:56Oh, my God.
00:35:58Daniel.
00:35:59What the hell happened?
00:36:01Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:02Are you okay?
00:36:04Look at her go.
00:36:06Hollywood's finest.
00:36:07Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:10It's Daniel.
00:36:11He's a monster.
00:36:13He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:16Mommy, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:19No.
00:36:20No, that's not true.
00:36:21If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:27Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:30Daniel.
00:36:32Is that true?
00:36:35Sabrina.
00:36:37Oh.
00:36:39Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:41I think one of them's broken.
00:36:44Sabrina.
00:36:44Honey.
00:36:45We need to help Preston.
00:36:49But Daniel.
00:36:51Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:07Mommy, please.
00:37:08We can't leave him.
00:37:09I have to help Preston.
00:37:13Come on, Jackson.
00:37:34Daniel!
00:37:35I got you.
00:37:37Don't let me go!
00:37:38She's made her choice.
00:37:41There's no going back.
00:37:42We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:48Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:37:59Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:01I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:03There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:08Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:10In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:12If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:19Don't worry about it.
00:38:34Just drive.
00:38:35I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:51Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:38:55Seriously?
00:38:57Just lay down.
00:38:58I know.
00:38:59Why is he down?
00:38:59I'm going to go call the doctor, okay?
00:39:05What are you doing?
00:39:06I thought you were hurt.
00:39:07I think I'll pull through.
00:39:15So what are you doing?
00:39:17I don't know what I've always wanted to.
00:39:19Come on.
00:39:20I know you want this.
00:39:21I see the way you look at me.
00:39:23Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:39:26I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:29What am I doing?
00:39:40Daniel is still injured.
00:39:42He should be home.
00:39:46Sabrina?
00:39:57Preston, get off.
00:39:59What?
00:40:01Babe, we can finally.
00:40:02Come on.
00:40:03I said get off.
00:40:04What?
00:40:05I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:06No, forget about him.
00:40:08Look, I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:40:13I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:40:17I mean, come on.
00:40:18Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:40:21Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:22Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:28No.
00:40:29No.
00:40:30What have I done?
00:40:32Where is he?
00:40:34What about me?
00:40:35You had a chance ten years ago.
00:40:38I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:40Hello?
00:40:46Excuse me.
00:40:49Excuse me.
00:40:50Hi.
00:40:50Have you seen my husband?
00:40:53Please.
00:40:53He was someone bleeding out.
00:40:55Um, I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:40:59He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:05Dan, where are you?
00:41:07I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:41:11Please try again later.
00:41:13What have I done?
00:41:14Oh, come on, Daniel.
00:41:26Answer me.
00:41:32He's not gone.
00:41:34I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:44He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:49No.
00:41:52It's not possible.
00:41:54He will be back.
00:41:57No.
00:42:08Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:11Climb zero, Cassio, Jackson.
00:42:13The waves are all spousal support.
00:42:16No.
00:42:17No, he can't leave me.
00:42:19He can't do this to me.
00:42:20I won't sign off on him.
00:42:31No.
00:42:33All this time, he's going to leave me?
00:42:43It can't be.
00:42:54It's not a...
00:42:55Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:42:57My mom will look it over anyways.
00:42:59He loves me.
00:43:01He loves Jackson.
00:43:02He wouldn't just leave us.
00:43:05We're his family.
00:43:06After all these years,
00:43:08everything we've been through...
00:43:12I got you.
00:43:33Don't let me go.
00:43:35Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:41Daniel?
00:43:43No, it's Mom.
00:43:44Is everything okay?
00:43:45You sound panicked.
00:43:46Mom.
00:43:48Mom.
00:43:49Daniel.
00:43:51He just left us.
00:43:54Do you know where he is?
00:43:56We have to find him.
00:43:58We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:00Oh, honey.
00:44:01It's over.
00:44:03Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:05You knew?
00:44:06I'll come over in the morning
00:44:08and explain everything.
00:44:09I'm hungry.
00:44:20Dad!
00:44:20Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:44:23Jackson?
00:44:26I have something to tell you.
00:44:30Your dad.
00:44:33Your dad.
00:44:35He's left us.
00:44:36I'm sorry,
00:44:38but he's not coming back.
00:44:39Yay!
00:44:40He's gone!
00:44:40He's gone!
00:44:42Why would you say that?
00:44:44He was so embarrassing.
00:44:46Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:47Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:49What did Preston say?
00:44:51He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:44:53should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:44:54than raising a young man.
00:44:57He was so lame and boring.
00:45:00Now he's gone.
00:45:01Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:45:04He can be my new dad.
00:45:05Jackson, you have a dad.
00:45:08And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:45:11Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:19Hello?
00:45:20Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:21Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:23I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:26I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:27Large sums have been wired
00:45:29to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:31Was that done with your approval?
00:45:32No, but I'm not surprised.
00:45:35Flag his name.
00:45:37I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:40Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:44Okay?
00:45:45He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:47Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you,
00:45:50is out there.
00:45:51And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:53What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:45:57Huh?
00:45:58It's despicable.
00:45:59I can't do this anymore.
00:46:02I cancel everything.
00:46:04The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:06I don't want to be seen.
00:46:08I can't pretend.
00:46:11I just want him back.
00:46:12Oh, honey.
00:46:14It's time to let him go.
00:46:16You don't love him anyway.
00:46:19Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:25What?
00:46:26How could you say something like that?
00:46:28Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:31He cares for me.
00:46:32He sees me.
00:46:33He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:38But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:40Daniel is my husband.
00:46:43And the father of my son.
00:46:44Yeah, some husband.
00:46:46Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:48Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:46:51Contract?
00:46:53What contract?
00:46:58What are you talking about?
00:47:01Forget it.
00:47:02Forget it.
00:47:03Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:05When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day,
00:47:08you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:10Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:12Please.
00:47:13I just want the truth.
00:47:15Mom.
00:47:17Fine.
00:47:18I will tell you the truth.
00:47:20But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:25I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:28But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:34When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:38I had to save you.
00:47:40She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:43You've always been there for her.
00:47:45From film school to now.
00:47:47I've seen it.
00:47:49She needs you.
00:47:50Stay.
00:47:51Marry her.
00:47:52Love her.
00:47:54So that she's never alone again.
00:48:01It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:04How could you do this to me?
00:48:07I wanted to protect you.
00:48:09You wanted to control me.
00:48:11All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:14Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:16You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:24Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:26He kept you together.
00:48:28Where?
00:48:29Where did he go?
00:48:30I know he told you where he went.
00:48:33Where is he?
00:48:34You can do better than him.
00:48:36You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:48:38Hollywood starlet.
00:48:40Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:42No.
00:48:43He can't be gone.
00:48:44He can't.
00:48:45Yes.
00:48:46He is gone.
00:48:46And he is gone forever.
00:48:49He can't be.
00:48:50He can't be gone.
00:48:51He can't.
00:48:52I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame the Silver Fox
00:49:10that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:16Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:22Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:26What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:29Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:32Nobody told me how.
00:49:34Oh, man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:37I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:39Yeah.
00:49:41God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:49:44And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:49:46I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:48But London?
00:49:50London lit the fire under me.
00:49:51And I feel like I've found my voice.
00:49:53And it really is full steam ahead.
00:49:56Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director,
00:49:59will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:03Hollywood.
00:50:05Get out of the country.
00:50:07If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:50:11I will make your life a living hell.
00:50:16Daniel?
00:50:17Daniel?
00:50:17Daniel?
00:50:21He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:35Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius.
00:50:39And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:42That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:50:45two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress
00:50:47and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:50Well, I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:50:54We'll never tell.
00:50:55Oh, my God.
00:50:59Thanks for saving me, Emily.
00:51:01She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:03I know.
00:51:03Jeez.
00:51:04This is so surreal.
00:51:06I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:51:08I can.
00:51:09The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:13Daniel, enjoy this.
00:51:17And get used to compliments.
00:51:19There's already asked of us.
00:51:21Fuck.
00:51:22Finish me, I know.
00:51:23I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:27You okay?
00:51:28You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:30I know, it's, um, I'll have it.
00:51:33Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:51:38Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:39I know.
00:51:52All press is good press.
00:51:59Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:52:01and he's cheating on me with a FAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:05He can't do this to me!
00:52:08Sabrina.
00:52:09You don't need him.
00:52:11Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:12How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:15Move on?
00:52:17Please, honey.
00:52:18He is using her.
00:52:20Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:23He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:26How could you say that?
00:52:27I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:31He's proving that to the whole world!
00:52:34Don't you see it?
00:52:34Sabrina.
00:52:36Look at what you've got.
00:52:37A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:52:43Well, when he's not whining.
00:52:45And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:47Your dream man.
00:52:48You have everything.
00:52:50I don't have him.
00:52:53Mom, I'm hungry.
00:52:54Go have the chef make something.
00:52:56No, I hate what she cooks.
00:52:58And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:52:59Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:01Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:03He's your dad.
00:53:04No!
00:53:05Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:07Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:10It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:12When did he get so cruel?
00:53:15You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:18A doormat.
00:53:20Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:22Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:23Daniel's...
00:53:23Enough!
00:53:24You little shit!
00:53:26Enough!
00:53:29Just enough!
00:53:30Sabrina?
00:53:31What's gotten into you?
00:53:33Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:36Whoa.
00:53:38What's going on here?
00:53:39This room feels really tense.
00:53:41Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:43I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:44No.
00:53:45I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:48And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:51Now, it's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:53:58Hey, baby.
00:53:59Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:54:01Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:03Really?
00:54:04Loser?
00:54:04Yeah.
00:54:05You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:08And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:13That's really, really low.
00:54:20Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:54:25Come on.
00:54:26We're America's power couple.
00:54:27To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:30Face it, Preston.
00:54:32You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:35And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:38Yeah.
00:54:38I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:39You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:42I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:45Because you know what?
00:54:46Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:47It's not like that.
00:54:49Okay?
00:54:49Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:54:52I want to marry you.
00:54:54We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:54:56What's my birthday?
00:54:58Huh?
00:54:59What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:00What's my favorite color?
00:55:02My favorite song?
00:55:03Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:06Oh, oh, wait.
00:55:06Hey, what's my fucking middle name?
00:55:09You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:11You don't love me.
00:55:13You don't even know me.
00:55:14This isn't a relationship.
00:55:16This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:19And you know what?
00:55:20I'm done.
00:55:21Get out.
00:55:22I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:25We're over.
00:55:27We're over.
00:55:28Hey, babe, come on.
00:55:29Please.
00:55:30Please, I love you.
00:55:31Just think about it.
00:55:33Think of the press.
00:55:33What this will look like.
00:55:35If I have to call my security,
00:55:37all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:39Get out.
00:55:40Hey, just.
00:55:41Now.
00:55:42Just give me your hand.
00:55:42Come on.
00:55:43No.
00:55:44I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:47Nobody sees the real thing.
00:55:49I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:50I see all of you.
00:55:53And you're never going to be alone again.
00:55:54He truly knew me.
00:55:59He loved me.
00:56:01Every flaw.
00:56:03Every fear.
00:56:05Contract or not.
00:56:06He truly loved me.
00:56:08I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:10Saved me?
00:56:12You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:15Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:17And he saved me from you.
00:56:20Security.
00:56:23Security.
00:56:24Come on.
00:56:24Just let's talk about this.
00:56:26No.
00:56:27Come on.
00:56:27Celeste.
00:56:28Do something.
00:56:29Come on.
00:56:30Sabrina.
00:56:31Come on.
00:56:31Sabrina.
00:56:33Was that really necessary?
00:56:35I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:39Is that all you care about?
00:56:40The fame?
00:56:42The headlines?
00:56:42The brand deals?
00:56:44God, you're supposed to be my mother first, not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:50Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:56:52Of course I care about you.
00:56:55I love you.
00:56:57Then prove it.
00:56:58If you ever want me in front of a camera again, then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:03You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:17I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:20In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:25I mean, you know this.
00:57:27You're a legend.
00:57:28I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:29All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:31You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:34I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:36I got projects.
00:57:37Come on.
00:57:38You're built for billion dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made
00:57:42in L.A., not London.
00:57:43That's where you belong.
00:57:46To be honest, I already did all.
00:57:48It didn't really end well.
00:57:49Let me guess.
00:57:50My girl?
00:57:52If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:57:56You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:58:00You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:58:04You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:05Three picture deal.
00:58:06Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:58:08Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:10I don't know what to say.
00:58:11Just say yes.
00:58:12You have my number.
00:58:14Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:16Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:17You can't run away from the past.
00:58:19You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:29Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:41Of course.
00:58:42It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:47Is this a personal story?
00:58:49Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:52Oh...
00:58:53She knows who she is.
00:58:56Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:58:58You arrogant little shit.
00:59:03I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:12It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:14I need a favor.
00:59:15I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:20It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:26Mom?
00:59:26What are you doing?
00:59:31Did you just break my TV?
00:59:33Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:36You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:38You've been so kind, though.
00:59:39Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:45He's back.
00:59:47Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:48Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:52I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:59:54I need to get on that movie.
00:59:56Absolutely not.
00:59:58You're not working for your ex-husband.
00:59:59If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:03Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:05He still loves me.
01:00:08He has to.
01:00:10I just need to talk to him.
01:00:12Let him go.
01:00:16Mom.
01:00:17Honey, I...
01:00:19You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:24I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:28I love you.
01:00:30I love you, too.
01:00:34Here we go.
01:00:36This is, um...
01:00:38It's another movie deal.
01:00:39I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:40Okay.
01:00:41Did you get his location?
01:00:58The Oaks.
01:00:598 p.m.
01:01:01After I'm done with him,
01:01:02Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:05He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:17She's not protecting me.
01:01:19She's protecting her business.
01:01:21And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:23But if she wants a scandal,
01:01:24she'll get one.
01:01:25It's so nice having you back.
01:01:30And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:32Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:34A couple?
01:01:36Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:39If you can even call them that.
01:01:41But you're healthy now.
01:01:42And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:44I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:01:46I love Sabrina,
01:01:47but I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:49The marriage, the kids.
01:01:51I mean, we really tried.
01:01:53I thought I could make it go for it,
01:01:54but, um...
01:01:56It's over.
01:01:58It's over.
01:01:59I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy
01:02:01she thinks Preston Niswick can offer.
01:02:10Oh.
01:02:11You haven't heard?
01:02:14She dumped him.
01:02:15It was all over People magazine.
01:02:17She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:20Oh, my God.
01:02:21What?
01:02:27Daniel!
01:02:31Stop!
01:02:39Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:41I'm here to help you.
01:02:43Sabrina,
01:02:44we are making a scene.
01:02:46Let's go home.
01:02:47Sabrina.
01:02:47How could you?
01:02:48What?
01:02:49I just came to ask Daniel
01:02:51if he'd let you audition,
01:02:52but he said no.
01:02:53I begged and pleaded.
01:02:54Stop lying.
01:02:56I saw you bribe the waiter
01:02:58to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:00And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too,
01:03:02to catch him drugged out of his mind
01:03:04and ruin him.
01:03:05And ruin him.
01:03:05Oh, my God.
01:03:07You're disgusting.
01:03:08I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:09Not anymore.
01:03:11Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:15I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:19I'm your mother.
01:03:20I only want what's best for you.
01:03:23What's best for me?
01:03:25You've been controlling my life
01:03:28ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:32That all ends today.
01:03:36You're fired.
01:03:39Fired.
01:03:39No.
01:03:44No.
01:03:48No.
01:03:49You can't do this to me.
01:03:51Please.
01:03:52Please, sweetie.
01:03:53I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:54You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:03:59I was just who you used to get to it.
01:04:02You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:04:05There's a thousand girls more talented
01:04:06than you waiting for their shot.
01:04:08I made you.
01:04:09You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:14I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:22We're done here, Mom.
01:04:24If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life
01:04:27or in mine,
01:04:29you'll leave now.
01:04:31Without another word.
01:04:39I have something to say.
01:04:47I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:50I'm sorry I took you for granted
01:04:51all of those years.
01:04:53I'm sorry I let my mom
01:04:55manipulate and use you.
01:04:57I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home
01:05:01and poisoned our son towards you.
01:05:07Apologize to your father.
01:05:09Do I have to?
01:05:10Who raised you?
01:05:13Cared for you?
01:05:16Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:19Laid with you when you had nightmares
01:05:21and coddled you when you were sick.
01:05:23He did.
01:05:24He loved you.
01:05:26But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:28I was wrong.
01:05:29Jackson,
01:05:30he gave us ten years of his life
01:05:32and we abused it.
01:05:34And now there is
01:05:35nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:38I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:40It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:45I still love you.
01:05:46Okay.
01:05:47Come on, Jackson.
01:05:48Let's go.
01:05:55I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:58For everything.
01:05:59I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:11You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:13I just didn't know it'd be this hard.
01:06:18They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:21They tore you to pieces
01:06:22and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:27People can change.
01:06:29But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:35And the Oscar goes to
01:06:37Daniel Johnson
01:06:38for his original screenplay,
01:06:40Loving Her.
01:06:43Daniel!
01:06:44Daniel!
01:06:45It's awesome.
01:06:46Here, Daniel.
01:06:46Daniel, is it true
01:06:47that the script that won you Oscars
01:06:49for both writing and directing
01:06:50sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:06:52Yes.
01:06:53I'll admit I got a little sidelined,
01:06:54but I think I found my way back.
01:06:57But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:07:02I don't think you can truly love someone else
01:07:05until you love yourself.
01:07:11Way to go, Jan!
01:07:13Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:31We'll keep in touch.
01:07:31How many more do we have today?
01:07:39Forty, sir.
01:07:40Jeez.
01:07:41Hey, boy!
01:07:42How we looking?
01:07:44We're still big in here.
01:07:45Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:47I mean, this film lives or dies
01:07:51by the female lead.
01:07:52All right, here's the deal.
01:07:53The studio's on my ass
01:07:54looking to lock in the lead today.
01:07:57Today?
01:07:58Are you fucking kidding me?
01:07:59That's why I love you, man.
01:08:01Cool under pressure.
01:08:02This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:08:05Oh, my God.
01:08:08All right, just bring in the next one.
01:08:11But that would be...
01:08:12Emily Blake.
01:08:16Emily.
01:08:20Seriously.
01:08:22Emily.
01:08:23Amazing, as always.
01:08:25You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:28Please.
01:08:29I wasn't gonna miss a shot
01:08:30who auditioned for the great Daniel Jones.
01:08:34How's L.A. treating you?
01:08:36Oh, my God.
01:08:37Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:39But I am...
01:08:41I'm glad to be back.
01:08:43Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:45Yeah.
01:08:45But it suits you.
01:08:49You definitely belong here.
01:08:53I do miss you, though.
01:08:55It was fun.
01:08:56Playing the part.
01:08:58British starlet.
01:08:59American director.
01:09:01I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:06Waiting for us to become something real.
01:09:09I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:11It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:14You...
01:09:15You were amazing, as always.
01:09:17It's just...
01:09:19It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:23I never was, was I?
01:09:26Anyways.
01:09:27Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:09:30Maybe I'll see you around.
01:09:32Yeah.
01:09:44Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:09:46Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:47And be generous with the sugar.
01:09:56Oh my god.
01:09:58What am I gonna do?
01:09:59What are you doing here?
01:10:04What are you doing here?
01:10:18I came to audition.
01:10:20Did you bring any representation?
01:10:25No.
01:10:26I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:29I'm starting fresh.
01:10:31Right, um...
01:10:32Hi.
01:10:35I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:41Don't let me go!
01:10:42I got you.
01:10:43I'll never let you go.
01:10:47Are you okay?
01:10:48Yeah.
01:10:49It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:51never really healed.
01:10:55I understand.
01:10:55Daniel Johnson.
01:11:02Nice to meet you.
