00:00:00For his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:05That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:08Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:12Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:18Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:24Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:31Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:37You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:43Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:47If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:57I'll always love my son.
00:00:59But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:03You're just a worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:06That was a long time ago.
00:01:08America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:11All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:14When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:21You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:24She needs that now.
00:01:26Stay. Marry her.
00:01:29Love her.
00:01:31So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:37And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:39If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:50Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:58What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:00I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.
00:02:09But I need to go.
00:02:10I have an appointment with your child.
00:02:14Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:19Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:23Then I will be free.
00:02:26Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:27Ugh, can it wait?
00:02:29I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:31I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:36I saw it.
00:02:37Preston was there.
00:02:39I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:42I mean, we owe him.
00:02:43Yeah.
00:02:44And then he cheated on you.
00:02:45And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:48I'm starving.
00:02:49When are we eating?
00:02:50Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:52But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:55No!
00:02:55I want to eat now!
00:02:57You always know the spot.
00:03:10He doesn't listen.
00:03:11Daniel, please.
00:03:13You had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:18I got something I need to tell you.
00:03:22I'll make it quick.
00:03:23This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:25Ew, what is this?
00:03:27It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:28I don't want healthy food.
00:03:30I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:31Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:33You can't have that every day.
00:03:35It's not healthy for you.
00:03:37But I want that.
00:03:39Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:42You suck!
00:03:43I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:45Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:54I waited.
00:03:56I gave it everything I had.
00:03:58But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:01And myself as a wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:07Enough.
00:04:07Just enough.
00:04:13I want a divorce.
00:04:16I want a divorce.
00:04:22Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:25Huh?
00:04:27I want a...
00:04:31I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:32Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:34Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:39Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:40We'll get you some real food.
00:04:47Seriously?
00:04:48Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:51I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:53What is this?
00:04:55Another contract?
00:04:57How big is the role?
00:04:59Who's directing?
00:05:01It's not a...
00:05:01Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:03It's hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:07Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:10I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:13And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:15Pull my weight?
00:05:16Yeah, you get it.
00:05:19Mwah!
00:05:20Love you.
00:05:22I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:25If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:28Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:32Okay.
00:05:33The movie's greenlit and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:42We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:44I can't.
00:05:45My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:47After all I've sacrificed,
00:05:49my scripts,
00:05:50my career,
00:05:51my future,
00:05:52we're all pushed aside.
00:05:54At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:58I was able to use the money Celeste gave me
00:06:00to save my mother's life.
00:06:02Hey, Mom.
00:06:02How you doing?
00:06:03Oh, good dear.
00:06:05I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:09Do you need more?
00:06:10No, no, no, no.
00:06:11You've already done so much.
00:06:13I'm just trying to help.
00:06:15I know.
00:06:16But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:20I can't thank you enough
00:06:21for everything that you've done,
00:06:24but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:28I am, Mom.
00:06:28and I promise
00:06:31very soon
00:06:33everything's going to change.
00:06:37You are wonderful, dear.
00:06:39You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:41Everyone come quick, come quick.
00:06:43I gotta go.
00:06:44Love you.
00:06:48What is it, Mom?
00:06:49Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:52Our favorite leading man.
00:06:54Come on.
00:06:58Preston Eastwood,
00:07:02the man that broke my wife's heart
00:07:04and is stealing it back again.
00:07:09Preston Eastwood,
00:07:10the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:18All right, cut.
00:07:20That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:22We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:26Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:28I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:32Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:36If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:40Okay.
00:08:10You destroyed me.
00:08:13Rest in.
00:08:15Rest in love.
00:08:29Sabrina!
00:08:30Don't!
00:08:31Stay back.
00:08:33I mean it.
00:08:35Sabrina.
00:08:36Don't do this.
00:08:38Just...
00:08:39Just give me your hand.
00:08:54No!
00:08:57Daniel!
00:08:58I got you.
00:09:00No!
00:09:01Don't let me go!
00:09:03I won't ever let you go.
00:09:04I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:13Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:15I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:16I see all of you.
00:09:19And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:21Good to see ya!
00:09:30Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:32Oh, too long.
00:09:33Look at you!
00:09:35Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:38Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:39Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:41Are you kidding?
00:09:41Oh, Daniel.
00:09:42Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:46Oh, there he is!
00:09:48The assistant!
00:09:49I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:53God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:57Stop!
00:09:58I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:05Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:08Daniel!
00:10:09Oh.
00:10:09Don't embarrass me.
00:10:11No, it's fine.
00:10:12Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:16He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:21My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:23He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:25Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:28What are you saying, huh?
00:10:29Yeah.
00:10:30Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:34It's fine.
00:10:36It's fine.
00:10:37Just relax, okay?
00:10:39Be nice.
00:10:48Some people never change.
00:10:51But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:57Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:59But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:11:02Oh.
00:11:09Oh, I'm careful.
00:11:11You all right?
00:11:14I'm still starving.
00:11:16Make me some food.
00:11:18Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:20Stew?
00:11:21Oh, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:24I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:27Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:30I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:34Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:37Oh, babe.
00:11:38For real?
00:11:39Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:44Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:46I'm rich.
00:11:47Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:51I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:55Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:57You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:59You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:01They were so dull.
00:12:02Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:06Lucky for you, Uncle Preston's a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:10So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:14My treat.
00:12:15Here we go.
00:12:16What?
00:12:17Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:19No, you don't mind.
00:12:20Unless you insist.
00:12:22I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:25Okay.
00:12:27Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:31So, anyways.
00:12:33Oh, baby, let's go.
00:12:35Screw you.
00:12:36Gotcha.
00:12:36Here we go.
00:12:38Oh.
00:12:39There's Paps.
00:12:41You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:43Last time.
00:12:45I promise.
00:12:47You're right.
00:12:49It is the last time.
00:12:52You guys?
00:12:54Hi.
00:12:55Yes.
00:13:01Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:06Contract sign.
00:13:09It's over.
00:13:10Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:14I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:18After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with that, but...
00:13:21Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:41She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:44Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:48I could scream.
00:13:49I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:51Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:55OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:59The scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:14:01Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:04Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:06Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:08All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:17Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:20You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:22Your brand?
00:14:23It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:26You get it, right?
00:14:35So, you two are a thing?
00:14:37Well, I...
00:14:38Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:39We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:50This is so going viral.
00:14:52I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:53It looks like more than dating.
00:14:56Is this your son?
00:14:57I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:00Don't be silly.
00:15:01You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:04That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:06He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:10But Preston is awesome.
00:15:12He's an action spy.
00:15:14I wish he was my dad.
00:15:17My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:20But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants
00:15:22when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty
00:15:25with a call girl.
00:15:26It's okay, buddy.
00:15:27Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:29If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:31That is, if Mom's schooled it.
00:15:34Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:36Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:38Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:42Come on.
00:15:43Let's go Michelle.
00:15:44Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:05I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:07Sabrina will end up on top,
00:16:09and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:14Daniel!
00:16:16You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:18On the sound of it,
00:16:20your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:22Daniel, he's here.
00:16:24Did he see us?
00:16:25Is he looking over here?
00:16:26Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:28I was just doing that for Felicity.
00:16:29I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:31Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:32Once that loser's out of the picture,
00:16:34Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:37Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:38Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:40Jackson, enough.
00:16:41What do I do?
00:16:45Well, that's it then.
00:16:47Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:48You need to leverage your relationship with Preston,
00:16:50with the tabloids.
00:16:52I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:56You're really good at that.
00:16:57Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:00A one-way ticket so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:07I know the contract is over,
00:17:09but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:12I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:15Daniel loves me.
00:17:16He has to understand.
00:17:18This is Hollywood.
00:17:18It's just part of the job.
00:17:21Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:23Daniel, what is this?
00:17:32I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:34All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:37Are you going somewhere?
00:17:40Honey!
00:17:41Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:43We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:46Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:48A vacation?
00:17:49Final.
00:17:49You're paying attention.
00:17:50Yeah.
00:17:53I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:55Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:57What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:59Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:00That's not what I meant.
00:18:01Whoa.
00:18:02Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:04That's fine.
00:18:06Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:08Just like any good husband would.
00:18:10Oh, look at how you see.
00:18:12Is it me?
00:18:13Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:15I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:17I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:20You know what?
00:18:21Maybe I should go.
00:18:21I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:23No, please stay.
00:18:24I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:28No, you know what?
00:18:29I'll go.
00:18:31And clearly she wants you.
00:18:33Going to dance this soon.
00:18:34Daniel, wait.
00:18:36I won't ever let you go.
00:18:38He won't leave.
00:18:39He promised.
00:18:41It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:43We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:46I'm going to go back.
00:18:47Daniel!
00:18:55Thanks.
00:18:55Let's in here.
00:18:57This is...
00:18:57Yeah.
00:18:59Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:19:01Oh!
00:19:02Oh, good.
00:19:04You're up.
00:19:05Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:09It was fun.
00:19:12Well, don't look at me like that.
00:19:14I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:17Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:21How lucky for him.
00:19:22He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:26Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:30Listen, man.
00:19:31I...
00:19:31I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and...
00:19:35What happened?
00:19:36You can trust me.
00:19:38Preston, I think you're...
00:19:40You need to go right now.
00:19:42All right.
00:19:44Oh, hey.
00:19:46Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:48I...
00:19:48I...
00:19:48When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:54I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:57Just ignore him.
00:19:58He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:00No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:04Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:06Jealous?
00:20:08My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:11Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:16You know...
00:20:17I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:23That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:29Daniel.
00:20:30Can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:35God.
00:20:36God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:41Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:45No, it's not like that.
00:20:48I...
00:20:49What?
00:20:50You know what?
00:20:51Fine.
00:20:54You two look great together.
00:20:56Daniel, I...
00:20:57And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:12I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:25Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:27I was never the homemaker.
00:21:35Please, Daniel.
00:21:36I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:52If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:59I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:01Look at her now.
00:22:15Playing house for another man.
00:22:18If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:21There he is.
00:22:41God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:43Man, man.
00:22:44No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:47Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:51We've got some.
00:22:53Yeah.
00:22:54What do you mean?
00:22:54Oh, oh.
00:22:55Yeah, there you go.
00:22:57I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:23:00Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:02Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:04Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:13No.
00:23:14A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:17Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:22It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:26What's up, Jackson?
00:23:37Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:39I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:42And it's unfair!
00:23:44That's a shame, huh?
00:23:45You know what?
00:23:45Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:47Here we go.
00:23:49Ooh.
00:23:50No!
00:23:52Not to play with them.
00:23:53You never let me do anything!
00:23:57Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:00You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:02It's not about the money.
00:24:04It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:06Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:10Yeah?
00:24:11What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:13You're so annoying!
00:24:16Don't push.
00:24:17I said don't push.
00:24:24Go get a book or something.
00:24:25Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:27He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-serving like you.
00:24:30God, what the hell is he?
00:24:31Just shut up.
00:24:35Call it a lesson.
00:24:36I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:38He's not your kid.
00:24:39I wish I was.
00:24:41I hope Mom marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:44I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:46Ouch.
00:24:47I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:50So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:52Maybe it will be.
00:24:53But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:57You?
00:24:59Man of the house?
00:25:00Please.
00:25:00You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:02I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:06And you're a washed a pack!
00:25:07Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:09How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:12I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:14I'm a fucking star!
00:25:15A star?
00:25:17A star that needs his ex to bring it back into the spotlight.
00:25:20Jackson, come on.
00:25:21I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:23No, I'm not going.
00:25:25Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:27Preston, Preston, Preston!
00:25:30You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:56What was that?
00:26:04Daniel!
00:26:05What is happening?
00:26:07It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:08Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:11What?
00:26:11You're so scared!
00:26:12That would be pretty good, babe.
00:26:13What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:15I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:16I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:18What?
00:26:18I didn't.
00:26:19Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:21You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:23I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:25He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:27It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:29Throw up.
00:26:30Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:32What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:34What?
00:26:34Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:38Maybe I should go.
00:26:40I'm sorry.
00:26:40No!
00:26:41Oh my God!
00:26:43He's lying!
00:26:45You're a monster!
00:26:47And in front of your son?
00:26:49You have to be kidding!
00:26:51We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:52Sure.
00:26:54We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:56Come on.
00:26:57Clean this up!
00:27:00Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:03Oh, she's mine now, loser.
00:27:16Hello, Tag 1, what's your emergency?
00:27:18I'm bleeding out.
00:27:20I think I hit an artery.
00:27:21I need an ambulance now.
00:27:23Now!
00:27:33You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you
00:27:38with the liquid.
00:27:39To be honest, that's a good use of right from home.
00:27:43Trouble with the missus?
00:27:44Uh, yeah.
00:27:48Pretty obvious.
00:27:50Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:53I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:58Miss Preston Eastwood.
00:28:00True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:04I've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice.
00:28:07You said, um, couple?
00:28:09I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official!
00:28:15She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:19She was so sweet.
00:28:25Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:28No, it's...
00:28:30It's my wound.
00:28:31I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:36Daniel!
00:28:38Sweet and caring.
00:28:40So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.
00:28:43He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:46and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:51Fuck you!
00:28:53Fuck you!
00:28:55I'm gonna get my shit and go on.
00:28:57Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:01You once liked my short film.
00:29:03I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:29:13It needs the right producer.
00:29:15I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you read it.
00:29:19Where have you been?
00:29:21I kept calling.
00:29:22I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:26Huh?
00:29:27Fine, I've been busy.
00:29:31Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:35Seriously?
00:29:36Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:38I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:42Yeah.
00:29:43That's what you want to call it?
00:29:45I...
00:29:46I just...
00:29:48I'm sorry.
00:29:49I...
00:29:50Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:29:53It is what it is.
00:30:00But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:03You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:08And I think you should go for it.
00:30:10I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:11But I just...
00:30:13I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:19Seriously.
00:30:21I...
00:30:21I care about you.
00:30:27I love it.
00:30:27I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:31I know when you're angry.
00:30:32Really?
00:30:33I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:35I pay attention?
00:30:38Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:40She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:43That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:45A headline.
00:30:45A performance.
00:30:47Sabrina.
00:30:53Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:54You know what?
00:30:55I hate fighting.
00:30:57So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:00I was thinking...
00:31:02We could revisit your script.
00:31:07I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:09You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:11Well, yeah.
00:31:12The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:15The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:19I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:21Me and you.
00:31:22The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:26I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:30A long time ago.
00:31:32Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:31:34and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:39Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:42There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:44I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:48Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:50I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:32:10and it was awful.
00:32:14Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you,
00:32:15and I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:17That's not what I meant.
00:32:20I like it when you make it.
00:32:23I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:26I knew it.
00:32:30You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:32I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:36God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:41Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:43It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:46No, Daniel.
00:32:48No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:55Look what you made me do.
00:32:57Just leave it.
00:33:01I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:05And what?
00:33:06It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:07I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:10And look what I get for it.
00:33:12You know what?
00:33:13Forget it.
00:33:14I have a mirror.
00:33:15Just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:17What?
00:33:33Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:35Yeah.
00:33:36Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:36Not quite.
00:33:37That was the divorce contract.
00:33:39But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:33:44This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:46Remember that.
00:33:46I'm texting you the address of Red Mimi.
00:33:59I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:04Oh, please.
00:34:05She's always been so secretive.
00:34:08I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:11Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:13I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:19Oh, wow.
00:34:20If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:23Come here.
00:34:24Oh.
00:34:24Jackson, we were just talking about your mom.
00:34:31Do you know where she is?
00:34:32Or who she's with?
00:34:34She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:36He's been staying with us.
00:34:38Really?
00:34:40Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:43Oh, I hope so.
00:34:44I really hope so.
00:34:45He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:49Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:52Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:55What are you doing here?
00:35:03You never come to these things.
00:35:05Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:08Get lost.
00:35:09You embarrass us.
00:35:11Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:13I'm your father.
00:35:14I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:19Is there a problem?
00:35:20Is there a problem?
00:35:20Oh, my God.
00:35:27That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:28How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:31If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:35:34I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:36You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:37Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:39You should probably listen to your kid and head out because you're starting to make a scene.
00:35:44I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:46That's not what I see.
00:35:47You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:56That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:00It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:02And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:07This was all I stopped, was it?
00:36:09You were revolting.
00:36:11No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:13Hey, how do you watch her now?
00:36:18Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:21Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:23Oh, yeah?
00:36:24What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:26You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:29What the hell?
00:36:53Daniel, what happened?
00:36:56Oh, my God, Daniel.
00:36:59What the hell happened?
00:37:01Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:02Are you okay?
00:37:04Look at her go.
00:37:05Hollywood's finest.
00:37:07Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:10It's Daniel.
00:37:11He's a monster.
00:37:13He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:16Mommy, Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:37:19No, no, that's not true.
00:37:21If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:27Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:30Daniel, is that true?
00:37:35Sabrina.
00:37:38Oh, yeah, I think he got me in the ribs.
00:37:42I think one of them is broken.
00:37:44Sabrina, honey, we need to help Preston.
00:37:48But Daniel, imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:08Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:38:11I have to help Preston.
00:38:14Come on, Jackson.
00:38:36Daniel!
00:38:37I got you.
00:38:39Don't let me go.
00:38:40She's made her choice.
00:38:43There's no going back.
00:38:44We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:57Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:01And now we can make a clean break.
00:39:04I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:06There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:11Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:13In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:20I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:22Don't worry about it.
00:39:38Just try.
00:39:38Don't worry about it.
00:39:40Just try.
00:39:40I used to pick for her approval.
00:39:55Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:39:59Seriously?
00:40:01Stay back.
00:40:02I don't know what you're doing.
00:40:04I'm going to call the doctor, okay?
00:40:06What are you doing?
00:40:10I thought you were hurt.
00:40:11I think I'll pull through.
00:40:20So what are you doing?
00:40:21I've always wanted to.
00:40:24Come on.
00:40:24I know you want this.
00:40:25I see the way you look at me.
00:40:27How that Daniel's gone.
00:40:29We have the house to ourself.
00:40:31I could finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:36What am I doing?
00:40:45Daniel is still injured.
00:40:47He should be home.
00:40:51Sabrina?
00:41:02Preston, get off.
00:41:05What?
00:41:05I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:12No, forget about him.
00:41:14Look, I love Jackson.
00:41:16And I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:19I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:23I mean, come on.
00:41:24Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:26Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:30Look, he's already moved on.
00:41:33No.
00:41:34What have I done?
00:41:38Where is he?
00:41:40What about me?
00:41:41You had your chance ten years ago.
00:41:44I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:46Hello?
00:41:53Hello?
00:41:54Excuse me.
00:41:55Excuse me.
00:41:57Hi.
00:41:57Have you seen my husband?
00:41:59Please.
00:42:00Here was someone bleeding out.
00:42:01I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:06He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:09Oh, no.
00:42:11God, Daniel, where are you?
00:42:13I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:18Please try again later.
00:42:19What have I done?
00:42:31Come on, Daniel.
00:42:33Answer me.
00:42:40He's not gone.
00:42:42I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:44He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:42:57No.
00:43:00It's not possible.
00:43:02He will be back.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:06No.
00:43:07No.
00:43:07No.
00:43:07No.
00:43:07No.
00:43:07No.
00:43:08No.
00:43:08No.
00:43:08No.
00:43:08No.
00:43:08No.
00:43:09No.
00:43:10No.
00:43:10No.
00:43:10No.
00:43:10No.
00:43:10No.
00:43:14No.
00:43:17It's all the assets.
00:43:19Clam zero St.η Jackson.
00:43:21The waves all spousal support.
00:43:24No.
00:43:25No.
00:43:26He can't leave me.
00:43:27He can't do this to me.
00:43:29I won't sign off on him.
00:43:40No.
00:43:42All this time?
00:43:43Who's going to leave me?
00:43:59It can't be.
00:44:03It's not her.
00:44:04Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:08He loves me. He loves Jackson.
00:44:12He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.
00:44:16After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:44:42I got you.
00:44:44Don't let me go!
00:44:46Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:52Daniel!
00:44:53No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? He's not panicked.
00:44:56Mom!
00:44:59Mom!
00:45:01Daniel!
00:45:02He just left us!
00:45:05Do you know where he is?
00:45:07We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:10Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:16You knew?
00:45:18I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:20I'm hungry!
00:45:30Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:34Jackson?
00:45:35I have something to tell you.
00:45:38I have something to tell you.
00:45:41Your dad...
00:45:44Your dad...
00:45:46He's left us.
00:45:48I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:51Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:45:52He's gone!
00:45:54Why would you say that?
00:45:56He was so embarrassing. Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:45:59Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:01What did Preston say?
00:46:03He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets than raising a young man.
00:46:10He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone!
00:46:14Mr. Eastwood is way cooler. He can be my new dad.
00:46:17Jackson! You have a dad!
00:46:20And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:46:23Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:31Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:34Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:38I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:40Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:46:45No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:53Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again. Okay?
00:46:58He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:00Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:04And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:07What kind of coward abandons his family? Huh? It's despicable.
00:47:12I can't do this anymore. I'll cancel everything. The interviews and the red carpets. I don't want to be seen. I can't pretend. I just want him back.
00:47:26Honey, it's time to let him go. You don't love him anyway. And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:36What? How could you say something like that? Of course I love Daniel. He cares for me. He sees me. He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:51But Daniel is a pathetic nobody. Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.
00:47:59Yeah, some husband. Abandoning you without a moment's notice. Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:48:06Contract? What contract?
00:48:09What are you talking about? Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:20When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:25Is there something you're not telling me? Please. I just want the truth. Mom.
00:48:31Fine. I will tell you the truth. But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:40I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina. But know it was all for your own good.
00:48:50When Preston left you, you were distraught. I had to save you.
00:48:55She's lost without you, Daniel. You've always been there for her. From film school to now. I've seen it.
00:49:05She needs you. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she's never alone again.
00:49:12It was all just some sort of obligation? How could you do this to me?
00:49:24Who wants to protect you?
00:49:26He wanted to control me. All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:31Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:32You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop. Daniel did what he was meant to do. He kept you together.
00:49:45Where? Where did he go? I know he told you where he went. Where is he?
00:49:51You can do better than him. You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet. Believe me, it's for the best.
00:49:58No. He can't be gone. He can't. Yes. He is gone and he is gone forever.
00:50:06He can't be. He can't be gone. He can't.
00:50:29I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of Howe, The Tame Silver Fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for his new writer-director.
00:50:39Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:45Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:51Um, honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shteed. Nobody told me how. Oh man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:00I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:03Uh, yeah. Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making and I've been very honest about it, actually. I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:11But London, London lit the fire under me and I feel like I found my voice and it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:20Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:28Hollywood.
00:51:29Get out of the country.
00:51:32If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:41Daniel?
00:51:42He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him. Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius. And it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:06That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:15Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:19We'll never tell.
00:52:23Oh my God, thanks for saying that.
00:52:26She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:28I know. This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:32I can. The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:39Daniel. Enjoy this.
00:52:43And get used to compliments. There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:47Fuck. Finish me out of it. I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:53You okay? You always do that when you're nervous.
00:52:56I think so. I'll have it.
00:52:58What about it?
00:52:59Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:04Silver's just got a head start.
00:53:05The world's got a head start.
00:53:18I think...
00:53:19Our press is good press.
00:53:26Daniel becomes an award-winning director?
00:53:28And he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:31Ugh.
00:53:33You can't do this to me!
00:53:35Sabrina.
00:53:36You don't need him.
00:53:37Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:39How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:42Move on?
00:53:44Please, honey.
00:53:45He is using her.
00:53:47Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:50He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:53How could you say that?
00:53:54I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:53:58He's proving that to the whole world!
00:54:01Don't you see it?
00:54:02Sabrina.
00:54:03Look at what you've got.
00:54:05A celebrated career.
00:54:07A mansion in the hills.
00:54:09An adorable kid.
00:54:10Well, let me smile and whining.
00:54:12And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:14Your dream man.
00:54:16You have everything.
00:54:18I don't.
00:54:19Have.
00:54:20Him.
00:54:21Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:22Go have the chef make something.
00:54:24No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:26And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:27Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:29Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:31He's your dad.
00:54:32No!
00:54:33Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:35Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:38It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:41When did he get so cruel?
00:54:43You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:47A doormat.
00:54:48Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:50Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:51Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:52Enough!
00:54:53You little shit!
00:54:56Enough!
00:54:57Just enough!
00:54:58Sabrina?
00:55:00What's gotten into you?
00:55:01Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:05Whoa.
00:55:06What's going on here?
00:55:08This room feels really tense.
00:55:10Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:12I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:13No!
00:55:14I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:17And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a time out.
00:55:20It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:27Hey, are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:31Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:32Really?
00:55:33Loser?
00:55:34Yeah.
00:55:35You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:38And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:43That's really, really low.
00:55:44Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:55:54Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:55:56To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:00Face it, Preston.
00:56:01You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:05And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:07Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:09You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:11I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:14Because you know what?
00:56:16Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:17It's not like that, okay?
00:56:19Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:22I want to marry you.
00:56:24We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:26What's my birthday?
00:56:28Huh?
00:56:29What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:31What's my favorite color?
00:56:32My favorite song?
00:56:33Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:36Oh, oh wait.
00:56:37What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:39You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:42You don't love me.
00:56:43You don't even know me.
00:56:45This isn't a relationship.
00:56:47This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:50And you know what?
00:56:51I'm done.
00:56:52Get out.
00:56:53I don't want to ever see you again.
00:56:55We're over.
00:56:56We're over.
00:56:58Hey, babe, come on, please.
00:57:00Please, I love you.
00:57:01Just think about it.
00:57:03Look at the press, what this will look like.
00:57:05If I have to call my security,
00:57:07all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:10Get out.
00:57:11Now.
00:57:12Just give me your hand.
00:57:13Come on.
00:57:14No.
00:57:15I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:18Nobody sees the real me.
00:57:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:22I see all of you.
00:57:24And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:57:26He truly knew me.
00:57:31He loved me.
00:57:33Every flaw.
00:57:34Every fear.
00:57:36Contract or not.
00:57:38He truly loved me.
00:57:40I saved you from social suicide.
00:57:42Saved me?
00:57:44You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:57:47Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:57:49And he saved me from you.
00:57:52Security!
00:57:55Security!
00:57:56Come on.
00:57:57Just let's talk about this.
00:57:58No.
00:57:59Come on.
00:58:00Celeste, do something!
00:58:02Sabrina!
00:58:03Come on, Sabrina!
00:58:05Was that really necessary?
00:58:07I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:58:09and people's sexiest man alive.
00:58:11Is that all you care about?
00:58:13The fame?
00:58:14The headlines?
00:58:15The brand deals?
00:58:16God!
00:58:17You're supposed to be my mother first,
00:58:19not some money-grubbing manager.
00:58:22Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:58:25Of course I care about you.
00:58:28I love you.
00:58:30Then prove it.
00:58:31If you ever want me in front of a camera again,
00:58:33then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:58:46You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:50I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:53In film school,
00:58:54we were literally told to watch every single film
00:58:56that you ever produced.
00:58:58I mean, you know this.
00:58:59You're a legend.
00:59:01I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:59:02Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:04You're a powerhouse-sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:07I appreciate the compliment, but I mean,
00:59:08I'm doing alright.
00:59:09I got projects.
00:59:10Come on!
00:59:11You're built for billion-dollar franchises,
00:59:13Hollywood blockbusters,
00:59:14the one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:59:16That's where you belong.
00:59:19To be honest, I already did LA.
00:59:21It didn't really end well.
00:59:23Let me guess.
00:59:24My girl?
00:59:25If by a girl,
00:59:26he means Hollywood royalty,
00:59:28Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:30You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:33You can become a household name,
00:59:35and I can get you there.
00:59:37You've given me a lot to think about.
00:59:39Three picture deal.
00:59:40200 million dollar budget each,
00:59:41creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:43I don't know what to say.
00:59:45Just say yes.
00:59:46You have my number.
00:59:47Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:50Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:51You can't run away from the past.
00:59:53You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:59:55Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:09Can we talk?
01:00:11Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:15Of course.
01:00:16It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:21Is this a personal story?
01:00:23Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:26Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:30I'll leave it at that.
01:00:31You arrogant little shit.
01:00:33I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:43It's less Donovan.
01:00:44I need a favor.
01:00:45I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
01:00:56It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:01:00Mom?
01:01:01What are you doing?
01:01:03Did you just break my TV?
01:01:08Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:11You know who I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:13You've been so kind though.
01:01:15It's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:18He's back.
01:01:21Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:24Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:27I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:30I need to get on that movie.
01:01:32Absolutely not.
01:01:33You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:35If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:38Oh, honey.
01:01:39I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:41He still loves me.
01:01:44He has to.
01:01:46I just need to talk to him.
01:01:49Let him go.
01:01:52Mom.
01:01:53Honey, I...
01:01:56You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:01:59I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:04I love you.
01:02:06I love you too.
01:02:08Here we go.
01:02:12This is, um...
01:02:14It's another movie deal.
01:02:15I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:16Did you get his location?
01:02:17The Oaks.
01:02:188 PM.
01:02:19After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:22He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:23Forever.
01:02:24The Oaks.
01:02:25The Oaks.
01:02:26The Oaks.
01:02:278 PM.
01:02:28After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:30He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
