00:08:45Just...
00:08:47Just give me your hand.
00:09:00No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:04I got you.
00:09:05No! Don'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 thing.
00:09:20I see you, Serena.
00:09:22I see all of you.
00:09:25And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:34Good to see ya!
00:09:36Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:38Oh, too long.
00:09:38What?
00:09:39It's 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?
00:10:03Stop!
00:10:04I can't believe my wife would invite the ex that she tried to kill herself over into our 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.
00:10:29He 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?
00:10:36Sabrina, 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, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when
00:11:00he breaks her heart again.
00:11:03Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing in the cell.
00:11:15Oh, careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:20I'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, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:30I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:32Daniel, 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.
00:11:41Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:42Well, babe, for real?
00:11:45Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics, I'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, but my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:11Well, I think for you, Uncle Preston's 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?
00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:25I don't mind.
00:12:26All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:29So...
00:12:31Okay.
00:12:32Oh, 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, babe, let's go.
00:12:41That's great.
00:12:42There we go.
00:12:42Oh, there'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.
00:12:57You 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 over.
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?
00:13:47Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:47She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:52Sabrina Donovan, I 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, it's 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?
00:14:25You'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?
00:14:42Well, I think...
00:14:44Oh, it'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, 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.
00:15:18He'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 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, then.
00:15:49Let's go, 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!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:24From 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?
00:16:31Is he looking over here?
00:16:32Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:33I was just doing that for Melissa.
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 he 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.
00:18:07Looks 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, look how you 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 going 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.
00:19:01But I'm here.
00:19:03Yeah.
00:19:04Shh, shh, shh, shh.
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.
00:19:16It was fun.
00:19:18Well, 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, and nothing happened.
00:19:41You can trust me.
00:19:44Preston, I think you're a good cop.
00:19:46You need to go right out.
00:19:48All right.
00:19:49Oh, man.
00:19:51No, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:53I, I, when you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:59I, I'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 could 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, I, what?
00:20:56You know what, fine.
00:20:59The two look great together.
00:21:04Daniel, I...
00:21:14And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:26Um, I 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.
00:21:53I 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, playing 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.
00:22:46I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:49Man, man.
00:22:50No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:55Hmm.
00:22:56Hmm.
00:22:57Hmm.
00:22:57Got 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...
00:23:04I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07I'm bulking 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?
00:23:19You're not?
00:23:20A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:23Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:28It'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!
00:23:57Not to play with that!
00:23:59You never let me do anything!
00:24:03Come on.
00:24:04It's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:06Because...
00:24:06Oh!
00:24:07It's an important 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...
00:24:14Bad examples.
00:24:16Yeah?
00:24:17What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:19You're so annoying!
00:24:22Don't...
00:24:22Push!
00:24:27I said don't push.
00:24:29Go get a book or something.
00:24:30You have to get your hands off him.
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:24:35You're out of the house.
00:24:37You're just a zombie.
00:24:41Call it a lesson.
00:24:42I'm teaching a kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:43He's not!
00:24:44You're a 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!
00:24:53I mean...
00:24:54You just hurt your son.
00:24:55So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:58Maybe it will be.
00:24:59But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:02You?
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,
00:25:09much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:12You'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 clowny.
00:25:29No!
00:25:29I'm not going!
00:25:31Preston's way cooler than you!
00:25:33Preston!
00:25:33Preston!
00:25:35Preston!
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?
00:26:16You're so scared!
00:26:17That'd be pretty good, 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.

00:39:57I 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 is it?
00:40:09Oh.

00:40:12Hey.
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 that Daniel's gone.
00:40:34We have the house to herself.
00:40:37I can 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, and 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, your mother.
00:41:32Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:36Look.
00:41:36He'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.
00:42:05He 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.
00:42:17Daniel, 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?
00:42:37Come on, Daniel.
00:42:39Answer me.
00:42:45He'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.
00:43:02No.
00:43:06It's not possible.
00:43:08He will be back.
00:43:11No.
00:43:22Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:25I'm 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.
00:43:35I won't sign off on it.
00:43:37No.
00:43:39No.
00:43:41No.
00:43:47All this time, who's going to leave me?
00:44:05It can't be.
00:44:09It's not us.
00:44:10Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:14He 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, everything we've been through...
00:44:47I got you.
00:44:49Don't let me go!
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:58Daniel?
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 and 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?
00:46:01It 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 should stick to scrubbing toilets and 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!
00:46:37Hello?
00:46:38Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. 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 sums 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.
00:47:29I just want him back.
00:47:32Honey.
00:47:34It's time to let him go.
00:47:36You don't love him anyway.
00:47:39Think 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's my husband.
00:48:03And the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah, some husband abandoning you without a moment's notice,
00:48:08wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13Contract?
00:48:18What 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,
00:48:28you said that he was going on a trip.
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.
00:49:46Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:49He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I 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.
00:50:07Yes, he is gone and he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be.
00:50:13He can't be gone.
00:50:14He can't.
00:50:15He can't be gone.
00:50:42director. Speaking 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
00:50:56your head tonight? Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own feet. Nobody filled
00:51:02me out. Oh man, how comfortable these designer shoes would be. I've heard this talk of a
00:51:07sequel. Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making and I've been very
00:51:14honest about it actually. I almost, I almost gave up the dream. But London, London lit the
00:51:20fire under me and I feel like I found my voice and it really is full steam ahead. Speaking
00:51:26of London, since you're an American rights director, will you be making your way back
00:51:30to Hollywood? Hollywood. Get out of the country. If I so much as see your name next to my daughters
00:51:41in a tabloid, that will make your life a living hell. Daniel?
00:52:02He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him. Daniel is a true auteur and
00:52:08a creative genius and it was a privilege to be a speaking lady. That's not a light compliment
00:52:14coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award winning actress and celebrated alumni
00:52:19of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just
00:52:24professional. We'll never tell. Oh my God, thanks for saving me. She was practically
00:52:33eye-fucking you. I know. This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this has happened to
00:52:38me. I can. The moment I read your script, I knew you were special. Daniel, enjoy this and
00:52:49get used to compliments. There's already Oscar Vaz. Fuck. Finish me out. I feel like I'm
00:52:55dreaming. You okay? You always do that when you're nervous. I'm with some. I'll have it.
00:53:05Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker. So Vaz just got a head start.
00:53:23I know. Our press is good press. Daniel becomes an award-winning director and he's cheating
00:53:35on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch. You can't do this to me. Sabrina. You don't need him.
00:53:43Let him have his 15 minutes of fame. How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:48Move on? Please, honey. He is using her. Why do you think he signed the contract in the
00:53:55first place, hmm? He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name. How could you say that?
00:54:00I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career. He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:07Don't you see it? Sabrina, look at what you've got. A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills,
00:54:15an adorable kid. Well, when he's not whining. And don't forget about Preston, your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything. I don't have him. Mom, I'm hungry. Go have the chef make something.
00:54:30No, I hate what she cooks. And I'm tired of chicken nuggets. Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:35Don't talk about him like that. He's your dad. No, Preston is my real dad now. Daniel's just a guy
00:54:42who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet. It was fun telling him what to do. When did he get
00:54:48so cruel?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover. A doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat. Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough! You little shit!
00:55:02Enough! Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina? What's gotten into you? Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:11Whoa. What's going on here? This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason. I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:19No! I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father. And if you keep talking like that,
00:55:24I'm going to put you in a timeout. It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat.
00:55:33Hey, babe. Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what? Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really? Loser? You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston. And you've been mooching off from me
00:55:46and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:53That's really, really low. Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand
00:55:58and keeping it from collapsing in the last year. Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power. Face it, Preston. You're using me to hide the
00:56:09fact
00:56:09that you're washed up. And you're a fucking thief. Yeah, I know you're bankrupt. You've been
00:56:15stealing from me all year long. I could have you arrested, but I haven't. Because you know what?
00:56:22Honestly, I pity you. It's not like that, okay? Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:28I want to marry you. We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:32What's my birthday? Huh? What kind of flowers do I like? What's my favorite color? My favorite song?
00:56:39Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie? Oh, oh, wait. What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:45You don't give a shit about me. You don't love me. You don't even know me.
00:56:51This isn't a relationship. This is a publicity stunt. And you know what? I'm done.
00:56:58Get out. I don't want to ever see you again. We're over. We're over.
00:57:04No, babe, babe, come on. Please. Please, I love you. Just think about it. Look at the press. What this
00:57:10will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot of weird. Get out. Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand. Come on. No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel. Nobody sees the real people.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina. I see all of you. And you're never...
00:57:31I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:57:34We'll never tell.
00:57:38Oh, my God.
00:57:39You're not. He truly loved me.
00:57:43I know. This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:57:48I can.
00:57:48The 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. I 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.
00:58:19Someone else just got a head start.
00:58:32I feel like I'll press this good press.
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.
00:58:55I mean, you know this. You're a legend.
00:58:57I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:58:59All right, let 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.
00:59:16To be honest, I already did, Ollie.
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.
00:59:41I 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 where we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:23Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:28I'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 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:53It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:58Mom, what are you doing?
01:01:03Did you just pick 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 will 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.
01:03:01So 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?
01:03:08Oh, Daniel, 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,
01:03:21but I really thought I could make it 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 press and use what 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.
01:03:54Oh, my God.
01:03:57What?
01:04:02Daniel!
01:04:06Stop!
01:04:14Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:04:16I'm here to help you.
01:04:19Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:04:21Let's go home.
01:04:22Sabrina?
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.
01:04:36And 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.
01:05:13You're fired.
01:05:15Fired.
01:05:17No.
01:05:20No.
01:05:24No.
01:05:26You 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, Daniel.
01:06:28I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:30I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:35I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:44I apologize 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 could 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.
01:07:25Come on, Jackson.
01:07:27Let'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.
01:07:52No.
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.
01:08:06People 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, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.
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.
01:08:40Um, I 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.
01:09:22How many more do we have today?
01:09:24Forty, sir.
01:09:25Jeez.
01:09:26Hey, boy!
01:09:27How are we looking?
01:09:28So, big in here.
01:09:29Um, 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 gonna blow the roof off.
01:09:53Oh, my God.
01:09:53All right, just bring in the next one.
01:09:56So, that would be Emily Blake.
01:10:02Emily.
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.
01:10:16You went to shoot for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:18So, how's L.A. treating you?
01:10:21Oh, my God.
01:10:22Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:25But 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.
01:10:41I do miss you, though.
01:10:41It was fun.
01:10:42Playing the part.
01:10:44British 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, and we'll call Steven.
01:11:00You...
01:11:01You 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.
01:11:31Give 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.
01:11:45What 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.
