00:08:40Serena, don't do this.
00:08:45Just...
00:08:46Just give me your hand.
00:09:00No!
00:09:03Daniel!
00:09:04I got you.
00:09:05No!
00:09:06Don't let me go!
00:09:08I won't ever let you go.
00:09:15I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:19Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:20I see you, Serena.
00:09:22I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:34Good to see you.
00:09:36Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:38Oh, 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.
00:09:44Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:45Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:47Oh, Daniel, Preston'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?
00:10:04I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into
00:10:09our home.
00:10:10Serena, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:14Daniel!
00:10:15Oh.
00:10:15Don't embarrass me.
00:10:16No, it's fine.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:22He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele 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.
00:10:34What 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.
00:10:56But 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.
00:11:15Oh, careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:19I'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?
00:11:30I 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.
00:11:40Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:43A bit?
00:11:44For real?
00:11:45Yeah.
00:11:46My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:50Donovan 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.
00:12:03You'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.
00:12:08These mysteries with my dad won't let me have anything.
00:12:11Well, I think for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:15So how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:20My treat.
00:12:21Here we go.
00:12:22What?
00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:25No, no, no, no, no mind.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:29So.
00:12:31Okay.
00:12:32Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:37So.
00:12:37Anyways.
00:12:38Oh, baby, let's go.
00:12:41That's great.
00:12:42There we go.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:45Paps, you don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:49Last time.
00:12:50I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:54It is the last time.
00:12:57Guys?
00:12:59Jackson.
00:13:01Yes.
00:13:08Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:12Contract's fine.
00:13:14It's okay.
00:13:16Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:20I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:24Is it 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:25I don't care if I walk away with that, but...
00:13:45Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:47She 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.
00:13:57Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking Ice.
00:14:01Oh, gee, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:14:04The scene that I wrote, uncredited, of course.
00:14:07Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:10Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:14:15All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:25They're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:27Your brand?
00:14:29It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:31You get it, right?
00:14:41So, you two are a thing?
00:14:43Well, I...
00:14:44It's okay, babe.
00:14:45We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:56This is so going viral.
00:14:58I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:59It looks like more than dating.
00:15:01Is this your son?
00:15:03I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:06Don't be silly.
00:15:07You have a dad.
00:15:08He'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 afterparty
00:15:30with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy is a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if mom's cool with it.
00:15:40Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:41Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:44Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:48Come on, let's get Michelle.
00:16:05Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:10I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:13Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:20Daniel!
00:16:22You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:24I'm the sound of it.
00:16:25Your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:28Daniel, he's here.
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:31Is he looking over here?
00:16:32Oh, fuck, that's not good.
00:16:33I was just doing that for Felicia.
00:16:35I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:37Actually, 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.
00:16:49What do I do?
00:16:50Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:54You need to leverage your 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.
00:17:02Oh, 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.
00:17:13I 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.
00:17:27Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:38I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:40All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
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.
00:17:55You'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.
00:18:07Whoa.
00:18:08Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:10It's fine.
00:18:11Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:14Just like any good husband would.
00:18:16Oh, I see.
00:18:17Is 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.
00:18:33No, you know what?
00:18:35I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:38I'm willing to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:42I won't ever let you go.
00:18:44He won't leave.
00:18:45He promised.
00:18:47It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:49We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:52I'm going to go back.
00:18:56Daniel!
00:19:00Thanks.
00:19:01I'm here.
00:19:02This is...
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:06Oh!
00:19:08Oh, 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.
00:19:18But 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.
00:19:26How lucky for him.
00:19:28He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:32Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:35Listen, Matt.
00:19:36I...
00:19:37I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and...
00:19:40Nothing happened.
00:19:41You can trust me.
00:19:44Preston, I think you're...
00:19:46He needs a light, Al.
00:19:48All right.
00:19:49Oh, man.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:53I...
00:19:53I...
00:19:54When 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?
00:20:14My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:17Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:20:21You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:28That'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, God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:47Are 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...
00:20:54What?
00:20:56You know what?
00:20:57Fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:14And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:26I 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.
00:21:42Daniel.
00:21:43Daniel.
00:21:47Daniel.
00:21:54I 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.
00:22:19Look 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.
00:22:45There he is.
00:22:46God, I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:49Man.
00:22:50No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:54You just...
00:22:56You got some.
00:22:59What do you mean?
00:23:00Oh, oh.
00:23:01Yeah, here you go.
00:23:02I'm offering you some of this shit, but...
00:23:04I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulgling up for a new Marvel movie.
00:23:14Hey, uh...
00:23:15You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:19No.
00:23:20A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:22Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:27It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:41What's up, 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.
00:23:53Here we go.
00:23:54Ooh.
00:23:56No.
00:23:58Not to play with them.
00:24:00You never let me do anything!
00:24:03Come on.
00:24:03It's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:06Because you can afford an aquarium.
00:24:08It's not about the money.
00:24:08It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:12Unfortunately, he's surrounded by...
00:24:14bad examples.
00:24:16Yeah?
00:24:17What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:19You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:27I said don't push.
00:24:29Go get a book or something.
00:24:31You want to get your hands off him.
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-server.
00:24:35I'm not the house.
00:24:37You just saw me.
00:24:41Call a lesson.
00:24:42I'm teaching a 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 marries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:50I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:52Ouch.
00:24:53I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:55So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:58Maybe 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.
00:25:11You're washed apart.
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 a 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.
00:25:31Preston's way cooler than you.
00:25:33Preston, Preston, Preston.
00:25:58You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:09Daniel!
00:26:11What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom.
00:26:14Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood.
00:26:16What?
00:26:16I'm so scared.
00:26:17That would bring you up, baby.
00:26:19What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:21I 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 this petty shit.
00:26:31He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:33It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:34Bro, look.
00:26:35Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:40What?
00:26:40Everyone 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?
00:26:55You have to be kidding.
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:58Sure.
00:26:59We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:02Come on.
00:27:03Clean this up.
00:27:06Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:21Hello, thank my mom.
00:27:22What's your emergency?
00:27:24I'm waiting now.
00:27:25I think I didn't marry.
00:27:27I didn't name it.
00:27:28It's not.
00:27:29Now.
00:27:39You did lose a lot of blood.
00:27:41So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:27:45To be honest, that's...
00:27:47I 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.
00:27:58I 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 them since breaking the eyes.
00:28:12You said, um, a couple?
00:28:15I 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.
00:28:30You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:33No, it's...
00:28:35It's my wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:28:41Daniel!
00:28:43Sweet and caring.
00:28:46So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:49He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:51And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:57Fuck you!
00:28:59Fuck it!
00:29:01I'm gonna get my shit in here.
00:29:04Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:07You 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.
00:29:25Where 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? I'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...
00:29:51I just...
00:29:53I'm sorry.
00:29:55I...
00:29:56Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what 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...
00:30:19I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:25Seriously.
00:30:26I...
00:30:27I care about you.
00:30:32I don't know that.
00:30:35I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:38Really?
00:30:39I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:41I pay attention?
00:30:43Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:49That's all this marriage ever wants to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:52A performance.
00:30:55Sabrina.
00:30:59Sabrina, I'm good.
00:31:00You 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.
00:31:12I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:15You 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.
00:31:25I 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.
00:31:37Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:31:40and 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.
00:32:11I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone,
00:32:16and it was awful.
00:32:19Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you.
00:32:21I'll be sure to tell them how you like it.
00:32:23That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:29I'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.
00:32:38I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people are fucking boring.
00:32:50It's good to know where you stand.
00:32:52No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:01Look what you made me do.
00:33:04Just leave it.
00:33:06I just 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.
00:33:18You know what?
00:33:19Forget it.
00:33:20I have a mirror.
00:33:21We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:38Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:41Yeah.
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 and our family's NDA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:51Remember that.
00:33:52I'll text you the address of Red Mimi.
00:34:05I 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?
00:34:17Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:19I read some letter that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:25Oh, wow.
00:34:26If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:34:29Come here.
00:34:29Oh.
00:34:33Jackson!
00:34:34We were just talking about your mom.
00:34:36Do you know where she is?
00:34:38Or who she's with?
00:34:40She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:41He's been staying with us.
00:34:42Oh, really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:49Oh, I hope so.
00:34:50I 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.
00:35:07What are you doing here?
00:35:09You 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?
00:35:30Oh, my God.
00:35:32That's Preston Eastwood.
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:37If that 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.
00:35:52That's not what I see.
00:35:53You showed up uninvited, then 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.
00:36:13This was all stuff, was it?
00:36:15You were revolting.
00:36:17No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:36:19Hey.
00:36:21How are you watching now?
00:36:23Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:36:27Yeah.
00:36:28Maybe 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?
00:36:36Hmm.
00:36:57What the hell?
00:37:00What happened?
00:37:01Oh, my God.
00:37:03Daniel.
00:37:04What the hell happened?
00:37:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:08Are you okay?
00:37:09Look 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.
00:37:25No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:27If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:37:33Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:36Daniel.
00:37:37Is that true?
00:37:41Sabrina.
00:37:43Oh, I think he got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them was broken.
00:37:50Sabrina.
00:37:51Honey.
00:37:52We need to help Preston.
00:37:56But Daniel.
00:37:59Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:13Mommy, please.
00:38:15We can't leave him.
00:38:16I...
00:38:17I have...
00:38:18I have to help Preston.
00:38:25I...
00:38:29I...
00:38:30I...
00:38:31I have to help Preston.
00:38:32I...
00:38:34I...
00:38:35I'm out, Jack.
00:38:41Daniel!
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
00:38:55for her.
00:39:03Well, 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.
00:39:21If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid.
00:39:25I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:42Don't worry about it.
00:39:43Just try.
00:39:57I used to ache for her approval.
00:40:00Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:05Seriously?
00:40:06So long.
00:40:07I know.
00:40:08What's it?
00:40:09Oh.
00:40:10I'm going to call the doctor.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:14What are you doing?
00:40:16I thought you were hurt.
00:40:17I think I'll pull through.
00:40:25Listen, what are you doing?
00:40:27I don't know what I'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 did Daniels go?
00:40:34We have the house to ourself.
00:40:36I could finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:49What am I doing?
00:40:51Daniel is still injured.
00:40:53He should be home.
00:40:57Sabrina?
00:41:08Kristen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally come 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.
00:41:20I 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.
00:41:36Look.
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?
00:41:47You had your chance ten 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.
00:42:03Have you seen my husband?
00:42:05Please.
00:42:06He 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.
00:42:17Daniel, where are you?
00:42:19I'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?
00:42:37Oh, come on, Daniel.
00:42:39Answer me.
00:42:45He's not gone.
00:42:57He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:43:02No.
00:43:06It's not possible.
00:43:08He will be back.
00:43:22Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero, Castillo, or 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.
00:43:34Yeah, I won't sign off on it.
00:43:45No.
00:43:48All this time,
00:43:49who's going to leave me?
00:44:06It can't be.
00:44:09It's not her.
00:44:10Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:16He loves Jackson.
00:44:18He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:20We're his family.
00:44:21And after all these years,
00:44:24everything we've been through...
00:44:47I got you.
00:44:49Don't let me go!
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:59No, it's Mom.
00:45:00Is everything okay?
00:45:01You sound pissed.
00:45:02Mom.
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.
00:45:14We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:16Oh, honey.
00:45:18It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:22You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning
00:45:24and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry!
00:45:36Dad!
00:45:37Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:40Jackson?
00:45:43I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad?
00:45:49Your dad?
00:45:52He's left us.
00:45:54I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:58He's gone!
00:46:00Why would you say that?
00:46:01He was so embarrassing.
00:46:03Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:08He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:46:10should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:46:12than raising a young man.
00:46:15He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone!
00:46:19Mr. Eastwood is way cooler!
00:46:21He can be my new dad!
00:46:23Jackson!
00:46:24You have a dad!
00:46:26And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:38Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:40Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:44I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large thumbs have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:50Was that done with your approval?
00:46:51No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:54Flag his name.
00:46:55I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:59Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:47:03Okay?
00:47:04He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:06Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:47:10And we need to find him at all costs.
00:47:13What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:47:16Huh?
00:47:17It's despicable.
00:47:18I can't do this anymore.
00:47:21I'll cancel everything.
00:47:23The interviews and the red carpets.
00:47:25I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:30I just want him back.
00:47:32Oh, honey.
00:47:34It's time to let him go.
00:47:36You don't love him anyway.
00:47:38And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:48Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:52He sees me.
00:47:53He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:01Daniel is my husband.
00:48:03And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband.
00:48:06Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:48:08Wanting nothing to do with this child just because the contract ended.
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:14What contract?
00:48:19What are you talking about?
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Forget it.
00:48:23Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:25When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a
00:48:30trip.
00:48:30Is there something you're not telling me?
00:48:33Please.
00:48:34I just want the truth.
00:48:36Mom.
00:48:38Fine.
00:48:39I will tell you the truth.
00:48:41But promise me you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:48:49But no, it was all for your own good.
00:48:55When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:48:59I had to save you.
00:49:01She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:04You've always been there for her.
00:49:06From film school to now.
00:49:08I've seen it.
00:49:10She needs you.
00:49:12Stay.
00:49:13Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:15So that she's never alone again.
00:49:23It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:49:27How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:31You wanted to control me.
00:49:33All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:49:36Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:49:42You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:46Stop.
00:49:46Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:49He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:53I know he told you where he went.
00:49:55Where is he?
00:49:56You can do better than him.
00:49:58You are Sabrina Donovan.
00:50:01Hollywood starlet.
00:50:03Believe me, it's for the best.
00:50:05No.
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:07He can't.
00:50:08Yes.
00:50:08He is gone.
00:50:09And he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:13He can't be gone.
00:50:14He can't.
00:50:35I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of HAL, the tame silver box that's already generated
00:50:40a 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.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:58Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own teeth.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:03Oh, man.
00:51:04How comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:06I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:08Uh, yeah.
00:51:10Um, God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:51:13And I haven't been very honest about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:51:18But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:51:21And I feel like I found my voice.
00:51:23And it really is full steam ahead.
00:51:25Uh, speaking of London, since you're an American rights director, will you be making your way
00:51:30back 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
00:51:43a living
00:51:43hell.
00:51:47Daniel?
00:52:01He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur and a pretty genius.
00:52:10And it was a privilege to be his meeting lady.
00:52:12Hey, that's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning
00:52:17actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:21Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:25We'll never tell.
00:52:29Oh, my God, thanks for saving me.
00:52:32She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:34I know.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:37I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:52:39I can?
00:52:39The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:52:46Daniel, enjoy this.
00:52:48And get used to compliments.
00:52:51There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:53Fuck.
00:52:54Finish me out.
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 bet so.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:05Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:53:10Some of us just got a head start.
00:53:23Daniel, I'll press this good press.
00:53:31Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:39You 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.
00:53:59How 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.
00:54:07Don't you see it?
00:54:08Sabrina.
00:54:09Look at what you've got.
00:54:11A celebrated career.
00:54:13A mansion in the hills.
00:54:15An 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.
00:54:24I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:28Go have the chef make something.
00:54:30No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:32And 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.
00:54:46When did he get so cruel?
00:54:49You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:56Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:59You little shit!
00:55:02Enough!
00:55:03Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:06What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:11Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:14This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:18I 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 going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:26It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:55:33Hey, babe.
00:55:34Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:37Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:39Loser?
00:55:40You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:44And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:53That's really, really low.
00:55:55Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:06Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:13Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:15You'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?
00:56:22Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:23It's not like that, okay?
00:56:25Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:28I want to marry you.
00:56:30We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:32What's my birthday?
00:56:34Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:37What's my favorite color?
00:56:38My favorite song?
00:56:39Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:42Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:43What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:45You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:48You don't love me.
00:56:49You don't even know me.
00:56:51This isn't a relationship.
00:56:53This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:56And you know what?
00:56:57I'm done.
00:56:58Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:03We're over.
00:57:04No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:06Please.
00:57:06Please, I love you.
00:57:07Just think about it.
00:57:09Look at the press.
00:57:10What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot of weird.
00:57:16Get out.
00:57:17Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:24Nobody sees the real me.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:30And 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.
00:57:43I know.
00:57:44This is so surreal.
00:57:46I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:57:48I can.
00:57:49The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:57:54Daniel.
00:57:55Enjoy this.
00:57:57And get used to compliments.
00:58:00There's already Oscar buzz.
00:58:02Fuck.
00:58:02Finish me.
00:58:03I don't.
00:58:03I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:58:07You okay?
00:58:09You're the sexiest man alive.
00:58:11Is that all you care about?
00:58:12I'll have it.
00:58:14Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:58:19Some of us just got a heads up.
00:58:32I know.
00:58:34Our price is good price.
00:58:45You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:47I'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.
00:58:59Let me cut to the chase.
00:59:01You're a powerhouse sitting idol 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.
00:59:09Hollywood blockbusters.
00:59:11The one that gets made in L.A., not London.
00:59:13That's where you belong.
00:59:15To be honest, I already did L.A.
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.
00:59:37Two hundred million dollar budget each.
00:59:38Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:41I don't know what to say.
00:59:42Just say yes.
00:59:43You have my number.
00:59:44Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:47Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:48You can't run away from the past.
00:59:50You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:03Hey, 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?
01:00:20Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:24Oh...
01:00:26She knows who she is.
01:00:27Um, I'll leave it at that.
01:00:32Oh, you arrogant little shit.
01:00:35I told you if you ever sat foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:44It'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 eight 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?
01:01:05Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:09You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:10You've been so kind, though.
01:01:12Um, 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.
01:01:29Absolutely 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.
01:01:38He still loves me.
01:01:41He has to.
01:01:43I just need to talk to him.
01:01:45Let him go.
01:01:49Mom!
01:01:51Honey, I...
01:01:53You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:01:56I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:01I love you.
01:02:03I love you, too.
01:02:07Here we go.
01:02:09This is, um...
01:02:11It's another movie deal.
01:02:12I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:29Did you get his location?
01:02:31The Oaks.
01:02:338 p.m.
01:02:34After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:39It'll be a race from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:51She'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.
01:03:01It's so nice having you back.
01:03:04And 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?
01:03:10Daniel, it was ten 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 loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make
01:03:23it work.
01:03:23The marriage, the kids.
01:03:26I mean, we really tried.
01:03:27I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:03:31It's over.
01:03:32It's over.
01:03:33I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:45Oh, 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.
01:03:57What?
01:04:03Daniel!
01:04:06Stop!
01:04:14Sabina, what are you doing here?
01:04:16I'm here to help you.
01:04:18Sabina, we are making a scene.
01:04:21Let's go home.
01:04:22Sabina?
01:04:23How could you?
01:04:24What?
01:04:24I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but 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, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:41My God.
01:04:42You'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.
01:04:55I'm your mother.
01:04:57I only want what's best for you.
01:05:00What's best for me?
01:05:03You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:08That all ends today.
01:05:12You're fired.
01:05:15Fired.
01:05:17No.
01:05:19No.
01:05:24No.
01:05:25You can't do this to me.
01:05:28Please.
01:05:28Please, sweetie.
01:05:29I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:31You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:36I 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.
01:05:59We'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.
01:06:20I have something to say.
01:06:25I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:27I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:31I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:35I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:44Apologize to your father.
01:06:47Do 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.
01:07:04But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:06I was wrong.
01:07:08Jackson, 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.
01:07:21This could be okay, son.
01:07:23I love you.
01:07:25Okay.
01:07:26Come on, Jackson, let's go.
01:07:29Come on, Jackson, let's go.
01:07:34I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:37For everything.
01:07:47I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:50You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:54I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:07:57They hurt you, Daniel.
01:08:00They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:07People can change.
01:08:09But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:15And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:23Daniel!
01:08:24Daniel!
01:08:25Daniel!
01:08:25Daniel!
01:08:26Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf
01:08:31for ten years?
01:08:32Yes.
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!
01:09:11Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:15We'll keep it up.
01:09:22What do we have today?
01:09:24Forty.
01:09:24Sorry.
01:09:25Jeez.
01:09:26Hey, boy!
01:09:27How are we looking?
01:09:28So, they get in.
01:09:29Hey, um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:33I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:37All 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 going to blow the roof off.
01:09:53Oh, my God.
01:09:53All right, just bring in the next one.
01:09:55So, 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 going to miss a shot.
01:10:16You went to shoot for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:19How's LA treating you?
01:10:21Oh, my God.
01:10:22Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:24But I am...
01:10:27I'm glad to be back.
01:10:28Well, it's not English countryside.
01:10:30Yeah.
01:10:31But 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.
01:10:47I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:52Waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:54I'm sorry, Emily.
01:10:57It just cost me.
01:10:58And we'll call Stephen.
01:11:00You were amazing, as always.
01:11:03It's just...
01:11:06It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:09I never was, was I?
01:11:13Anyways...
01:11:13Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:16Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:18Yeah.
01:11:31Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:32Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:36And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:43Oh, my God.
01:11:44What am I gonna do?
01:11:52That was quick.
01:12:03What 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.
01:12:21I don't know, Ben.
01:12:25Don't let me go!
01:12:27I got you.
01:12:27I'll never let you go.
01:12:31Are you okay?
01:12:33Yeah.
01:12:33It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:36never really healed.
01:12:39I understand.
01:12:43Daniel Johnson.
01:12:47Nice to meet you.
01:12:51Please.
01:13:00Whenever you're ready.
01:13:10Like the
01:13:11...
