00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:08That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way back.
00:00:26Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:34Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:45Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:00:56I'll always love my son. But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:12All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15But her career's hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:22You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:47This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel.
00:01:53What's going on?
00:01:54What's going on?
00:01:59Honey!
00:02:01I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:05If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.
00:02:08But I need to go. I have an appointment with your stylist.
00:02:13Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:18Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts, and then I will be free.
00:02:24Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:26Ugh, can it wait? I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:30I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:35I saw it. Preston was there.
00:02:37I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean, we owe him.
00:02:42Yeah, and then he cheated on you, and I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating?
00:02:48Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:50But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:52No! I want to eat now!
00:03:05You always know the spot.
00:03:08He doesn't listen.
00:03:09Daniel, please.
00:03:10I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs at that god-awful Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:15I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I know-
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food! I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:31You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want that!
00:03:36Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:50I waited. I gave it everything I had.
00:03:55But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:03:57And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:03Enough. Just enough.
00:04:05I want a divorce.
00:04:12I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:21Huh?
00:04:23I want a di-
00:04:26I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:30Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:33Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously?
00:04:43Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:46I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:48What is this?
00:04:50Another contract?
00:04:52How big is the role?
00:04:54Who's directing?
00:04:55It's not a...
00:04:56Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:59Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:01Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:05I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:09Pull my weight?
00:05:11Yeah, you get it.
00:05:14Mwah!
00:05:15Love you.
00:05:15I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:19If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:22Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:32The movie's Greenland, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:35We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:37I can't.
00:05:38My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:41After all I've sacrificed.
00:05:42My scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:05:48At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:05:51I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:05:55Hey, Mom. How you doing?
00:05:56Oh, good, dear.
00:05:58I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:02Do you need more?
00:06:03No, no, no, no.
00:06:04You've already done so much.
00:06:06I'm just trying to help.
00:06:07I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:12I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done,
00:06:16but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:20I am, Mom.
00:06:22And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:29You have so wonderful, dear.
00:06:31You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:33Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:35I gotta go. Love you.
00:06:37What is it, Mom?
00:06:41Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:44Our favorite leading man.
00:06:46Come on.
00:06:46Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart
00:06:55and is stealing it back again.
00:07:00Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:03All right, cut.
00:07:13We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:17Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:19I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:23Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:25If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:30If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:30She didn't fall for.
00:07:31Let's go.
00:07:32Everybody.
00:07:32You destroyed me.
00:08:02Rest in.
00:08:04There's nothing left.
00:08:18Sabrina, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:24Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:28Just give me your hand.
00:08:32Just give me your hand.
00:08:43No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:47I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:49No, let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:52I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:01Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:03I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:05I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:09Good to see you.
00:09:18Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:20Oh, two months.
00:09:20Look at you!
00:09:22Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:25Oh my God, of course, babe.
00:09:26Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:28Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:33Oh, there he is!
00:09:35The assistant!
00:09:36I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:40How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:44Stop!
00:09:45I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:52Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:55Daniel!
00:09:56Oh.
00:09:56Don't embarrass me.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, kiddo?
00:10:07My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:09He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:11Now that I'm here, we'll be able to have Ben some of dad's rules.
00:10:14What are you saying, huh?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20That's fine.
00:10:22That's fine.
00:10:23Just relax, okay?
00:10:25Be nice.
00:10:27Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:40when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:43Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this sale.
00:10:54Oh, careful.
00:10:55You all right?
00:10:59I'm still starving.
00:11:01Make me some food.
00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:07Ew.
00:11:07What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:09I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:12Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:15I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:22What?
00:11:22Oh, babe?
00:11:23For real?
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:25My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:28Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:30I'm rich.
00:11:32Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:35I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:39See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:41You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:43You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:44They were so dull.
00:11:46Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:49Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:57My treat.
00:11:59Here we go.
00:12:00What?
00:12:01Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:03All of you insist.
00:12:05I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06Oh.
00:12:07So.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:10Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:14So, anyways.
00:12:15Come on, man.
00:12:16Let's go.
00:12:18That's great.
00:12:19Gotcha.
00:12:19There we go.
00:12:21Oh.
00:12:22There's Paps.
00:12:24You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:30You're right.
00:12:31It is the last time.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
00:12:37Hi.
00:12:38Jackson.
00:12:44Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:50It's over.
00:12:51Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:56I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:00It's a ten years of heartbreak.
00:13:01I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:03I don't care if I walk away with nothing.

00:27:03uh yeah pretty obvious most married folks that come in here are miserable i shouldn't be saying
00:27:13this but sabrina donovan was here with preston eastwood true love story holding hands wiping tears
00:27:23i've been obsessed with them since breaking the ice you said um couple i wasn't sure but i checked the
00:27:31the vegetation logs and it's official she even helped me reposition preston when his ivy was twisted
00:27:38she was so sweet
00:27:43need us to check on that shoulder for you no it's it's not a wound i tore it actually um 10 years ago
00:27:53sweet and caring so preston's found the wife i always wanted he only had to break her heart to get it

00:28:41what i've been busy anyways i thought you were busy entertaining preston
00:28:51seriously why does it always have to come back to him i told you he's just a friend
00:28:58yeah that's what you want to call it i i just i'm sorry i bringing preston into our home was probably
00:29:09crossing the line it is what it is but i mean you know how the industry works you even just hint
00:29:20at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity and i think you should go for it i mean you always

00:30:08sabrina i'm good you know what i hate fighting so let's just forget about this okay

00:30:42a long time ago well how about you make us some lattes and for the next hour we can just pour
00:30:51ourselves into the script just like we used to in film school there was a time when this would have
00:30:57worked on me i would have melted in her hands now i just want to pack and get out of here
00:31:12i don't know what you do but i asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone and it was awful
00:31:27i've had a lot of experience making it for you i'll be sure to tell him how you like it
00:31:30that's not what i meant i like it when you make it i'm not gonna always be here to make it
00:31:38i knew it you are mad that i brought preston back here i told you it was just a publicity stunt

00:43:22I got you.
00:43:38Don't let me go!
00:43:41Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:47Daniel!
00:43:48No, it's Mom. Is everything okay?
00:43:50You sound panicked.
00:43:52Mom, Daniel. He just left us.
00:43:59Do you know where he is?
00:44:02We have to find him. We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:05Oh, honey. It's over. Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:10You knew?
00:44:11I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:14I'm hungry!
00:44:23Dad! Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:29Preston, I have something to tell you.
00:44:35Your dad...
00:44:36Your dad...
00:44:39He's left us.
00:44:42I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:44Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:46What did Preston say?
00:44:47Why would you say that?
00:44:49He was so embarrassing. Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:51Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:54What did Preston say?
00:44:56He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets, then raising a young man.
00:45:02He was so lame and boring.
00:45:05Now he's gone!
00:45:06Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:45:08He can be my new dad!
00:45:10Jackson!
00:45:11You have a dad!
00:45:13And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:15Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:23Hello?
00:45:25Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:26Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:28I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:31I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:32Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:36Was that done with your approval?
00:45:38No.
00:45:38But I'm not surprised.
00:45:40Flag his name.
00:45:41I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:45Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:49Okay?
00:45:50He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:52Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:56And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:59What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:02Huh?
00:46:03It's despicable.
00:46:04I can't do this anymore.
00:46:07Cancel everything.
00:46:08The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:10I don't want to be seen.
00:46:13I mean, I can't pretend.
00:46:15I just want him back.
00:46:17Oh, honey.
00:46:19It's time to let him go.
00:46:21You don't love him anyway.
00:46:24Think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:27What?
00:46:30How could you say something like that?
00:46:33Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:35He cares for me.
00:46:37He sees me.
00:46:38He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:42But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:44Daniel is my husband and the father of my son.
00:46:49Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice, wanting nothing to do with
00:46:53his child just because the contract ended.
00:46:56Contract?
00:46:58What contract?
00:46:59What are you talking about?
00:47:05Forget it.
00:47:06Forget it.
00:47:08Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:09When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on
00:47:14a trip.
00:47:15Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:17Please.
00:47:17I just want the truth.
00:47:20Ma.
00:47:21Fine.
00:47:23I will tell you the truth.
00:47:25But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:29I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:33But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:39When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:42I had to save you.
00:47:44She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:46You've always been there for her, from film school to now.
00:47:52I've seen it.
00:47:53She needs you.
00:47:55Stay.
00:47:56Marry her.
00:47:57Love her.
00:47:58So that she's never alone again.
00:48:06It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:10How could you do this to me?
00:48:12I wanted to protect you.
00:48:14You wanted to control me.
00:48:16All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:19Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:20You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:28Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:30He kept you together.
00:48:32Where?
00:48:33Where did he go?
00:48:35I know he told you where he went.
00:48:37Where is he?
00:48:38You can do better than him.
00:48:40You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:48:43Hollywood starlet.
00:48:44Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:46No, he can't be gone.
00:48:48He can't.
00:48:49Yes, he is gone and he is gone forever.
00:48:53He can't be.
00:48:54He can't be gone again.
00:48:55He can't.
00:48:56I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of how to tame the silver fox that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:23Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:31Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:36What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:37Um, honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own street.
00:49:41Nobody told me how.
00:49:43Oh, man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:46I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:49Uh, yeah.
00:49:49Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making and I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:49:55I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:57But London, London lit the fire under me and I feel like I found my voice and it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:13Hollywood.
00:50:13Get out of the country.
00:50:16If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:50:26Daniel?
00:50:26Daniel?
00:50:26He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:44Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:51That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:03We'll never tell.
00:51:07Oh, my God, thanks for saving me.
00:51:10She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:12I know, jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal.
00:51:15I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:17I can.
00:51:18The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:21Daniel, enjoy this and get used to compliments.
00:51:28There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:30Fuck.
00:51:31Finish me, I know.
00:51:32I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:51:36You okay?
00:51:37You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:39I know, it's, um, I'll have it.
00:51:42Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:51:47Some of us just got a head start.
