00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:10That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:18Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:24Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I'm on my way back.
00:00:30Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:37Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:42You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:48Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:00I'll always love my son.
00:01:04But he's a bully, and he learned to throw the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:08You didn't still worship, Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:17All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:20When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:26You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her.
00:01:35So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:42And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:56Mom, Daniel.
00:01:57What's going on?
00:02:03What's going on?
00:02:05Honey!
00:02:07I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:11If the paparazzi catch him next to you, lol.
00:02:14But I need to go. I have an appointment with your child.
00:02:19Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:20Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, then I will be free.
00:02:31Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:33Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:37I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:53I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:56Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No! I want to eat now!
00:03:13Hmm, you always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:25I've got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:30Ew, what is this?
00:03:32It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:34I don't want healthy food. I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:36Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:39You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:42But I want that!
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:51Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:01I gave it everything I had.
00:04:04But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:06And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:12Enough. Just enough.
00:04:18I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:28Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:31Huh?
00:04:33I want a...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:38Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:40Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:44Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:46Seriously, your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:59What is this?
00:05:01Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:06It's not a...
00:05:07Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:09Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:12Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:18And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:22Yeah, you get it.
00:05:25Mwah! Love you.
00:05:27I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:31If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:34Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:37The movie's greenlit and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:47We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After all I've sacrificed,
00:05:54my scripts,
00:05:56my career,
00:05:57my future,
00:05:58all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me
00:06:06to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, mom.
00:06:08How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:10I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:15Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:19I'm just trying to help.
00:06:20I know.
00:06:21But I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:25I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done,
00:06:29but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, mom.
00:06:35And I promise,
00:06:37very soon,
00:06:39everything's gonna change.
00:06:42You look wonderful, dear.
00:06:44You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:49I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:02Preston Eastwood,
00:07:08the man that broke my wife's heart
00:07:09and is stealing it back again.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood,
00:07:16the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:24All right, cut.
00:07:25That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:28We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:30Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:34I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:38Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:45I was just a asse to go for Hollywood.
00:07:47I frankly didn't fall for Hollywood,
00:07:48she is from her feet no longer.
00:07:49I look like she's not lying about Toy Jerome.
00:07:50I personally would because of the
00:08:13You've destroyed me.
00:08:19I've just...
00:08:20I've just left one.
00:08:34Sabrina! Don't!
00:08:37Stay back.
00:08:39I mean it.
00:08:40Sabrina.
00:08:41Don't do this.
00:08:43Just...
00:08:45Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:04I got you.
00:09:05No!
00:09:06Don't let me go!
00:09:08I won't ever let you go.
00:09:09I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:22I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:26Good to see you.
00:09:35Oh, my gosh.
00:09:37How long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:40Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:43Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:47Oh, Daniel.
00:09:48Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:51Oh, there he is!
00:09:53The assistant!
00:09:54I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:58How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:03Stop!
00:10:03I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:14Daniel!
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:15Don't embarrass me.
00:10:16No, it's fine.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:22He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you think, you know?
00:10:26My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:30Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:33What are you saying, huh?
00:10:35Yeah.
00:10:36Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:41It's fine.
00:10:43Just relax, okay?
00:10:45Be nice.
00:10:54Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:11:01again.
00:11:03Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:14Oh, careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:17I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:23Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:26Stew?
00:11:27Ew.
00:11:28What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:33Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:36I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:43Well, babe, for real?
00:11:45Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:51I'm rich.
00:11:53Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:57I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:01Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:04You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:06They were so dull.
00:12:07Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:15So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:19My treat.
00:12:21Here we go.
00:12:22What to do?
00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:26All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:28Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:37So, anyways.
00:12:38Come on, Ben, let's go.
00:12:40That's great.
00:12:41Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:45There's Paps.
00:12:46You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:49Last time.
00:12:50I promise.
00:12:53You're right.
00:12:54It is the last time.
00:12:56You guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:01Yes.
00:13:07Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract sign.
00:13:14It's open.
00:13:16Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:22After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:45Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:52Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:54I could scream.
00:13:55I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:01Oh, gee.
00:14:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:04The scene that I wrote.
00:14:05Uncredited, of course.
00:14:07Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait.
00:14:10Are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually.
00:14:12This is totally a date.
00:14:14All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:25You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:27Your brand?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:31You get it, right?
00:14:32So, you two are a thing?
00:14:43Well, I...
00:14:44It's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:46This is so going viral.
00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:59It looks like more than dating.
00:15:01Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:07You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:15:09That's what all the boys at school say.
00:15:11He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:15But Preston is awesome.
00:15:17He's an action spy.
00:15:19I wish he was my dad.
00:15:22My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:25But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:15:29after party with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if mom schools it.
00:15:39Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:41Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:44Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on, then.
00:15:49Let's go, Michelle.
00:16:05Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:13Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:24On the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:28Daniel, he's here?
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:32Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:33I was just doing that for Felicia.
00:16:35I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:38Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:42Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:44Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:46Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:50Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:54I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:58I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:01You're really good at that.
00:17:03Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:06A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:12I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:18I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:21Daniel loves me.
00:17:22He has to understand.
00:17:23This is Hollywood.
00:17:24It's just part of the job.
00:17:25Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:40All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:43Are you going somewhere?
00:17:45Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:48We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:51Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:53A vacation?
00:17:54Final, you're paying attention.
00:17:57Yeah.
00:17:58I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:18:00Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:04Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:10That's fine.
00:18:11Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:14Just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look how you see.
00:18:17Hey, is it me?
00:18:19Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:21I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:23I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:25You know what?
00:18:26Maybe I should go.
00:18:27I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:29No, please stay.
00:18:30I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:32No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:38Going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:40I won't ever let you go.
00:18:44He won't leave.
00:18:45He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:49We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:51I'm going to go back.
00:18:56Daniel!
00:19:00Let them here.
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:06Oh, good.
00:19:09You're up.
00:19:10Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel-Air.
00:19:15It was fun.
00:19:17But don't look at me like that.
00:19:19I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:22Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:27How lucky for him.
00:19:28He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:31Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, Matt.
00:19:37I've had every opportunity to sleep with her.
00:19:39And nothing happened.
00:19:41You can trust me.
00:19:44Preston, I think you're not eating the right now.
00:19:48All right.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:59I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:03Just ignore him.
00:20:04He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:09Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:17Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:22I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:25That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:20:34Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:40God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:43Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:51No, it's not like that.
00:20:53I...
00:20:53What?
00:20:56You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:13And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:21Um...
00:21:22I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:35I was never the homemaker.
00:21:40Please, Daniel.
00:21:43I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:01If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:04I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:07I can't.
00:22:13Look at her now.
00:22:21Playing house for another man.
00:22:23If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:27There he is.
00:22:46God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:49Man, no, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:56I've got some.
00:22:58Yeah.
00:22:59What do you mean?
00:23:00Oh, oh.
00:23:01Yeah, there you go.
00:23:02I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:09Hey, uh, you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:19You're not?
00:23:19A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:23Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:24It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:41What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:43Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:44I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:48And it's unfair.
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:51Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:53Oh, no.
00:23:57Not to play with that.
00:23:59You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:08It's not about the money.
00:24:09It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:12Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:16Yeah?
00:24:17What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:19You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:23I said don't push.
00:24:29Go get a book or something.
00:24:30Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-server like you.
00:24:35You're not the house.
00:24:36You're just a zombie.
00:24:41Call it a lesson.
00:24:42I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:43He's not your kid.
00:24:45I wish I was.
00:24:46I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:50I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:52Ouch.
00:24:52I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:55So why don't you make this little vacay yours perfect?
00:24:57Maybe it will be.
00:24:59But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:04Man of the house?
00:25:05Please.
00:25:06You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maiden, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:10You're a washed a pack.
00:25:13Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:15How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:25:17I heard your agents begging for scraps.
00:25:19I'm the fucking star.
00:25:21A star?
00:25:22A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:25:26Jackson, come on.
00:25:27I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:29No, I'm not going.
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:32Preston, Preston, Preston.
00:25:40You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:02Who was that?
00:26:09Daniel!
00:26:10What is happening?
00:26:12It was dad, mom.
00:26:14Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:16I'm so scared.
00:26:17That would be pretty good, baby.
00:26:19What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:22I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:23What?
00:26:24I didn't.
00:26:25Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:27You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:29I thought you were bigger than Miss Betty's shit.
00:26:31He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:34Bro, I'm up.
00:26:35Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What, everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:44Maybe I should go.
00:26:45I'm sorry.
00:26:46No.
00:26:47Oh, my God.
00:26:49He's lying.
00:26:51You're a monster.
00:26:53And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding.
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:02Clean this up.
00:27:05Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:12You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:41So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:44To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:48Trouble with the missus?
00:27:51Uh, yeah.
00:27:54Pretty obvious.
00:27:55Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:57I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:28:09I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:28:13You said, um, a couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:28:20She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:28:25She was so sweet.
00:28:30Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:32No, it's my wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:41Daniel!
00:28:43Sweet and caring.
00:28:45So Preston's found the wife I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:51and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:53Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:08I have a strip I've been sitting on.
00:29:18It needs the right producer.
00:29:20I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:23Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:28I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:31Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:36I've been busy.
00:29:37I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:29:40Seriously?
00:29:41Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you, he's just a friend.
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:51I, I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry, I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:30:02It is, but it is.
00:30:05But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:30:09You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:13And I think you should go for it.
00:30:15I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:18But I just, I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:25Seriously.
00:30:26I, I care about you.
00:30:28I don't know that.
00:30:35I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:38Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:43Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:01I hate fighting.
00:31:02So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking.
00:31:07We could revisit your script.
00:31:09I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:17Well, yeah.
00:31:18The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean, we have to do this.
00:31:26Me and you.
00:31:27The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:31:31I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:31:35A long time ago.
00:31:36Well, how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:31:44Just like we used to in film school.
00:31:47There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:53Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:55Wait.
00:32:06I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and it was awful.
00:32:19Well, if I had a lot of experience making it for you, I'll be sure to tell him how you like it.
00:32:23That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:27I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:32:33I knew it.
00:32:35You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:42It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:48It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:52No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:04Just leave it.
00:33:06I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:33:10And what?
00:33:11It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:13I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:20I heard from here.
00:33:21Let's just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:37What?
00:33:38Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah.
00:33:41Ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:42Not quite.
00:33:43That was the divorce contract.
00:33:45But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract.
00:33:47And our family's MTA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:51Remember that.
00:33:52I'll text you the address.
00:33:53Where's the name?
00:33:54I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:34:10Oh, please.
00:34:11She's always been so secretive.
00:34:13I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:19I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:23Oh, wow.
00:34:26If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:29Come here.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:34We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:36Do you know where she is?
00:34:38Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:41He's been staying with us.
00:34:44Really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:51He's way cooler than my old-born real dad.
00:34:54Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:58Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:35:01What are you doing here?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:11Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:14Get lost.
00:35:15You embarrass us.
00:35:16Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:35:18I'm your father.
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad.
00:35:24Is there a problem?
00:35:25Oh, my God.
00:35:32That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flat over Preston?
00:35:37If there was a problem, listen to your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:43Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid and pat out because you're starting to make scene.
00:35:50I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:53You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:36:02That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:36:08And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all stuff, was it?
00:36:15You were revolting.
00:36:17No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:19Hey.
00:36:19How are you watching now?
00:36:23Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:36:29Oh, yeah?
00:36:30What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:39Oh!
00:36:39What the hell?
00:36:58What happened?
00:37:01Oh my god!
00:37:03Daniel!
00:37:04What the hell happened?
00:37:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go.
00:37:11Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience.
00:37:16It's Daniel.
00:37:17He's a monster.
00:37:18He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:37:21Mommy!
00:37:22Dad came in here and started shouting at me!
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:34Daniel, is it true?
00:37:41Sabrina.
00:37:43Oh!
00:37:44Yeah, I think he got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them was broken.
00:37:50Sabrina?
00:37:51Honey?
00:37:51We need to help Preston.
00:37:53But, but Daniel.
00:37:59Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:13Mommy, please!
00:38:14We can't leave him!
00:38:15I, I have, I have to help Preston.
00:38:26Dad.
00:38:33Come on, Jack.
00:38:35Daniel!
00:38:42Daniel!
00:38:43I got you.
00:38:44Don't let me go!
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:48There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:38:55Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:07Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:18In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:20If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:42Don't worry about it.
00:39:43Just try.
00:39:44I used to beg for her approval.
00:40:00Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:06Say that.
00:40:07I know.
00:40:08Why is it down?
00:40:10I'm not going to call the doctor.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:12What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:17I think I'll pull through.
00:40:25So what are you doing?
00:40:27I've always wanted to.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:30I know you want this.
00:40:31I see the way you look at me.
00:40:33How that Daniel's gone.
00:40:34We have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I could finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:39Come on.
00:40:42What am I doing?
00:40:51Daniel is still injured.
00:40:53He should be home.
00:40:57Sabrina?
00:40:57Carson, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally.
00:41:13Come on.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:15What?
00:41:16I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:19Look.
00:41:19I love Jackson.
00:41:22And I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:28I mean, come on.
00:41:29Sabrina, your son.
00:41:31Your mother.
00:41:32Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:35Look.
00:41:37He's already moved on.
00:41:41No.
00:41:42What have I done?
00:41:44Where is he?
00:41:45What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:58Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:01Excuse me.
00:42:02Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:05Please.
00:42:05He was someone bleeding out.
00:42:07I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:11He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:12I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:42:23Please try again later.
00:42:25What have I done?
00:42:37Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:40He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:58He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:06It's not possible.
00:43:08He will be back.
00:43:09No.
00:43:22Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:25Climb Zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:43:27The waves all spousal support.
00:43:30No.
00:43:31No, he can't leave me.
00:43:33He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on it.
00:43:45Mom, all this time, who's gonna leave me?
00:44:05It can't be.
00:44:09It's not us.
00:44:10Honestly, it doesn't matter. My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:14He loves me. He loves Jackson.
00:44:18He wouldn't just leave us. We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years, everything we've been through...
00:44:34I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go!
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:58No, it's Mom. Is everything okay? You sound panicked.
00:45:01Mom!
00:45:04Mom!
00:45:06Daniel!
00:45:07He just left us!
00:45:10Do you know where he is?
00:45:13We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:16Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:23I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:45:26I'm hungry!
00:45:36Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:40Taxi?
00:45:43I have something to tell you.
00:45:45Your dad.
00:45:47Your dad.
00:45:50Your dad.
00:45:52He's left us.
00:45:54I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01It was so embarrassing! Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:08He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets and raising a young man.
00:46:15He was so lame and boring. Now he's gone!
00:46:19Mr. Eastwood is way cooler! He can be my new dad!
00:46:22Jackson! You have a dad! And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello? Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant. I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood. Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No, but I'm not surprised. Flag his name. I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again. Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:13What kind of coward abandons his family? Huh? It's despicable.
00:47:17I 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.
00:47:31Honey, it's time to let him go. You don't love him anyway. And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:41What? 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.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:01Daniel's my husband. And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband. Abandoning you without a moment's notice. Wanting nothing to do with his child just because I contraended?
00:48:11Contract? What contract?
00:48:14What are you talking about?
00:48:19Forget it. Forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me? Please. I just want the truth. Mom.
00:48:36Fine. I will tell you the truth. But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina. But know it was all for your own good.
00:48:55When Preston left you, you were distraught. I had to save you.
00:49:00She's lost without you, Daniel. You've always been there for her. From film school to now. I've seen it.
00:49:10She needs you. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she's never alone again.
00:49:17It was all just some sort of obligation? How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:31You wanted to control me. All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:38You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop. Daniel did what he was meant to do. He kept you together.
00:49:50Where? Where did he go? I know he told you where he went. Where is he?
00:49:56You can do better than him. You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet. Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:03No, he can't be gone. He can. Yes, he is gone and he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be. He can't be gone. He can.
00:50:33I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How The Tame of Silver Fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:50:45Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:51Daniel, your film received the palm door at the Cannes Film Festival. What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:56Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own shteed. Nobody told me how.
00:51:03Oh man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:06I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:08Uh, yeah. Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making and I haven't been very honest about it actually.
00:51:15I almost, I almost gave up the dream. But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:51:20And I feel like I found my voice and it really is. Full steam ahead.
00:51:26Speaking of London, since you're an American rights director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:35Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, that will make your life a living hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:50He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true author and a pretty genius. And it was a privilege to be his meeting lady.
00:52:11That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two time Golden Globe award winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:25We'll never tell.
00:52:26Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:52:31She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know, jeez.
00:52:35This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:40The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel.
00:52:46Enjoy this.
00:52:48And get used to compliments.
00:52:51There's already Oscar Vaz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:54Finish me out of it.
00:52:55I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:53:00You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:02I know it's them.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:05Well, the world is about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:09So that's just got a head start.
00:53:23I know.
00:53:25Our press is good press.
00:53:26Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:38You can't do this to me!
00:53:41Sabrina.
00:53:42You don't need him.
00:53:43Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:45How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:48Move on?
00:53:50Please, honey.
00:53:51He is using her.
00:53:53Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:56He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:54:00I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:04He's proving that to the whole world!
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:08Sabrina.
00:54:09Look at what you've got.
00:54:11A celebrated career.
00:54:12A mansion in the hills.
00:54:14An adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:20Your dream man.
00:54:22You have everything.
00:54:23I don't.
00:54:24Have.
00:54:25Him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:28Go have the chef make something.
00:54:30No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:33Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:35Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:37He's your dad.
00:54:38No!
00:54:39Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:41Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:44It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:45When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:56Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:19No!
00:55:20I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that, I'm gonna put you in a time out.
00:55:26It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:33Hey babe.
00:55:34Are you really gonna get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:36Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:40You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:52That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Mom, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:06You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief!
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I wanna marry you.
00:56:28We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:32Huh?
00:56:33What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:38Oh!
00:56:39What's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh!
00:56:42Oh wait!
00:56:43What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done!
00:56:57Get out!
00:56:58I don't wanna ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:03We're over.
00:57:04Hey, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please.
00:57:06Please, I love you.
00:57:07Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:15Oh, God.
00:57:16Get out.
00:57:17Now!
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:20No.
00:57:21I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you never heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:57:34We'll never tell.
00:57:38Oh, my God.
00:57:39You're not.
00:57:40He truly loved me.
00:57:42I know.
00:57:43Jeez.
00:57:44This is so surreal.
00:57:45I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:57:47I can.
00:57:49The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:57:53Daniel.
00:57:55Enjoy this.
00:57:57And get used to compliments.
00:57:59There's already Oscar buzz.
00:58:01Fuck.
00:58:02Finish me, I know.
00:58:03I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:58:07You okay?
00:58:08You're the sexiest man alive.
00:58:10Is that all you care about?
00:58:12I'll have it.
00:58:14Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:58:18Someone else just got a head start.
00:58:20I think the price is good price.
00:58:33Our press is good press.
00:58:45You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:46I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:49In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:58:54I mean, you know this.
00:58:56You're a legend.
00:58:57I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:58:59All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:00You're a powerhouse sitting idle in the wrong country.
00:59:03I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:05I got projects.
00:59:06Come on.
00:59:07You're built for billion dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters, the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:59:12not London.
00:59:13That's where you belong.
00:59:15To be honest, I already did, Allie.
00:59:18It didn't really end well.
00:59:19Let me guess.
00:59:20My girl?
00:59:21If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:27You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:30You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:34You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:35Three picture deal.
00:59:36Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:38Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:40I don't know what to say.
00:59:41Just say yes.
00:59:43You have my number.
00:59:44Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:46Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:48You can't run away from the past.
00:59:50You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:59:52Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:06Can we talk?
01:00:08Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:12Of course.
01:00:13It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:18Is this a personal story where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:23Oh.
01:00:26She knows who she is.
01:00:27Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:31Oh, you arrogant little shit.
01:00:35I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:39It's Les Donovan.
01:00:46I need a favor.
01:00:47I need you to track down Daniel Johnson to find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:53It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:58Mom?
01:00:58What are you doing?
01:01:03Did you just break my TV?
01:01:04Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:09I'm not supposed to do that.
01:01:10You've been so kind, though.
01:01:11Um, it's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:17He's back.
01:01:19Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:21Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:24I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:27I need to get on that movie.
01:01:28Absolutely not.
01:01:30You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:32If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:35Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:37He still loves me.
01:01:40He has to.
01:01:42I just need to talk to him.
01:01:45Let him go.
01:01:49Mom!
01:01:50Honey, I...
01:01:52You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:01:56I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:01:59I love you.
01:02:03I love you, too.
01:02:06Here we go.
01:02:09This is, um...
01:02:10It's another movie deal.
01:02:12I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:13Did you get his location?
01:02:31The Oaks.
01:02:328 p.m.
01:02:34After I'm done with him,
01:02:36Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:39He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:42She's not protecting me.
01:02:53She's protecting her business.
01:02:55And I'm just a pawn.
01:02:57But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:02:59It's so nice having you back.
01:03:03And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:06Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:08A couple?
01:03:09Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:13If you can even call them that.
01:03:15You're healthy now.
01:03:16And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:18I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:03:20I love Sabrina, but...
01:03:22I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:23To marriage, to kids.
01:03:26I mean, we really tried.
01:03:27I thought I could make it go for it, but...
01:03:29It's over.
01:03:32It's over.
01:03:33I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy
01:03:35she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:37Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:48She dumped him.
01:03:50It was all over People Magazine.
01:03:52She ended it when his star faded.
01:03:56Oh my God, it was.
01:04:03Daniel!
01:04:06Stop!
01:04:07Sabina, what are you doing here?
01:04:16I'm here to help you.
01:04:18Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:04:21Let's go home.
01:04:22Sabina?
01:04:23How could you?
01:04:23What?
01:04:24I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition,
01:04:27but he said no.
01:04:28I begged and pleaded.
01:04:30Stop lying.
01:04:31I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:35And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too,
01:04:38to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:41My God, you're disgusting.
01:04:43I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:45Not anymore.
01:04:46Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:51I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:04:54I'm your mother.
01:04:56I only want what's best for you.
01:04:59What's best for me?
01:05:03You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:07And that all ends today.
01:05:12You're fired.
01:05:15Fired.
01:05:17No.
01:05:19No.
01:05:24No.
01:05:26You can't do this to me.
01:05:27Please, please, sweetie.
01:05:29I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:31You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:34I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:38You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:41There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:45I made you.
01:05:46You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:51I think she'll do just fine.
01:05:53We're done here, Mom.
01:06:01If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:09Without another word.
01:06:10I have something to say.
01:06:24I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:27I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:30I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:34I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:44Apologize to your father.
01:06:46Do I have to?
01:06:48Who raised you?
01:06:51Cared for you?
01:06:53Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:06:57Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:01He did.
01:07:02He loved you.
01:07:03But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:06I was wrong.
01:07:07Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:13And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:17I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:21It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:23I love you.
01:07:25Okay.
01:07:26Come on, Jackson.
01:07:27Let's go.
01:07:27Let's go.
01:07:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:37For everything.
01:07:42I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:49You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:51I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:07:56They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:00They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:06People can change.
01:08:09But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:11And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:23Daniel!
01:08:23Daniel!
01:08:24Daniel!
01:08:25I'm sorry.
01:08:25Daniel, Daniel!
01:08:26Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:31Yes.
01:08:33I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:38But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:42I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:52Way to go, John!
01:09:01Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:15We'll keep in touch.
01:09:22What do we have today?
01:09:2340, sir.
01:09:25Jeez.
01:09:25Hey, boy!
01:09:27How are we looking?
01:09:28Still big in here.
01:09:29Okay, um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:33I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:36All right, here's the deal.
01:09:38The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:42Today?
01:09:43Are you fucking cute?
01:09:44That's why I love you, man.
01:09:45Cool under pressure.
01:09:47This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:09:52Oh, my God.
01:09:53All right, just bring in the next one.
01:09:54Ah!
01:09:55But that would be Emily Blake.
01:10:01Emily.
01:10:06Emily.
01:10:08Amazing, as always.
01:10:10You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:13Please.
01:10:14I was gonna miss a shot to register for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:19How's LA treating you?
01:10:20Oh, my God.
01:10:22Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:24But I am...
01:10:26I'm glad to be back.
01:10:28Well, it's not in this countryside.
01:10:30Yeah.
01:10:30But it suits you.
01:10:34You definitely belong here.
01:10:38I do miss you, though.
01:10:40It was fun.
01:10:42Playing the part.
01:10:43British starlet.
01:10:45American director.
01:10:45I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:49Waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:54I'm sorry, Emily.
01:10:57It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:11:00You...
01:11:00You were amazing, as always.
01:11:03It's just...
01:11:04It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:09I never was, was I?
01:11:12Anyways...
01:11:13Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:16Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:18Yeah.
01:11:18Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:11:32Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:36And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:37Oh, my God.
01:11:44What am I gonna do?
01:11:52That was quick.
01:11:53Okay.
01:11:53What are you doing here?
01:12:06I came to audition.
01:12:10Did you bring any representation?
01:12:12No.
01:12:13I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:15I need you.
01:12:16You'd be nothing without me.
01:12:18Donovan.
01:12:21Donovan.
01:12:25Don't let me go!
01:12:26I got you.
01:12:27I'll never let you go.
01:12:28Are you okay?
01:12:33Yeah.
01:12:33It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:36never really healed.
01:12:39I understand.
01:12:44Daniel Johnson.
01:12:47Nice to meet you.
01:12:48Nice to meet you.
01:12:51Please.
01:13:00Whenever you're ready...
