00:00:00He used to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:10That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf
00:00:22for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way
00:00:28back.
00:00:29Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:42You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking househusband, Daniel.
00:00:48Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:00:55The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:02I'll always love my son.
00:01:03But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:08You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:25You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now.
00:01:32Stay. Marry her.
00:01:34Love her.
00:01:36So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:42And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to
00:01:51her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:56Mom, Daniel.
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:03What's going on?
00:02:04Honey!
00:02:06I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:10If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh.
00:02:14But I need to go.
00:02:15I have an appointment with you, Shilas.
00:02:19Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:24Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:31Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:33Ugh, can it wait?
00:02:34I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw it.
00:02:42Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:47I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:49And then he cheated on you.
00:02:50And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:53I'm starving.
00:02:54When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:56But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No!
00:03:01I want to eat now!
00:03:12You always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen to me.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:25I got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I...
00:03:30Ew, what is this?
00:03:32It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:34I don't want healthy food.
00:03:35I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:36Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets.
00:03:38You can't have that every day.
00:03:40It's not healthy for you.
00:03:42But I want that.
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:00I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:06And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:12Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:18I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:27Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:36I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:38Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:43Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:45We'll get you some real food.
00:04:51Seriously?
00:04:52Your only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:56I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:02How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:06It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:09Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:11Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up.
00:05:17And I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:21Yeah, you get it.
00:05:25Love you.
00:05:26I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:44The movie is green, Link.
00:05:45And the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:47We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:49I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:52After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, mom.
00:06:07How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:10I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:18I'm just trying to help.
00:06:19I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24Nikki, I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, mom.
00:06:35And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42You're wonderful, dear.
00:06:43You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:07:06Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:23All right, cut.
00:07:25All right, cut.
00:07:25That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was the rising star.
00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:37Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:41If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:52We got our book.
00:07:56Hey, put on, let's move.
00:07:59Bye.pin's.
00:08:15It destroyed me, president of Seth Lennon.
00:08:34Sabrina, don't!
00:08:36Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:44Just...
00:08:46Just give me your hand.
00:08:59No!
00:09:02Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:05No!
00:09:06Don't let me go!
00:09:08I won't ever let you go.
00:09:14I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:18Nobody sees the real people.
00:09:20I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:22I see all of you.
00:09:24And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:34Good to see you!
00:09:35Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:37Oh, too long.
00:09:38Look at you!
00:09:40Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:43Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:44Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:46Are you kidding?
00:09:46Oh, 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?
00:10:02Stop!
00:10:03I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:10Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel!
00:10:14Oh.
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:16No, it's fine.
00:10:17Whoa, you played Brett Stale in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Stale tough, you think, you know?
00:10:26My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:28He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:30Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:33What are you saying, huh?
00:10:34Yeah.
00:10:35Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:41It's fine.
00:10:42Just relax, okay?
00:10:44Be nice.
00:10:53Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:04But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:14Oh, I need to be careful.
00:11:16You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:21Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:27Ew, what is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:29I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:32Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:35I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:39Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:42Oh, babe.
00:11:43For real?
00:11:44Yeah.
00:11:45My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:49Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:51Rich.
00:11:52Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:56I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:01See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:02You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:04You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:06They were so dull.
00:12:07Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:11Lucky 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.
00:12:20Here we go.
00:12:21What?
00:12:22Yeah.
00:12:23Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:24I don't mind.
00:12:25All of you insist.
00:12:27I mean, I'm already dressed, so.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:32Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:36So, anyways.
00:12:38Come on, Ben, let's go.
00:12:40That's great.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:43Oh.
00:12:45Paps, you don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:49I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:53It is the last time.
00:12:57Guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:00Yes.
00:13:07Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:11Contract fine.
00:13:14It's over.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:23Is it ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with that, but...
00:13:44Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46Why 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.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:14:00Oh, gee.
00:14:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:04The scene that I wrote, uncredited of course.
00:14:06Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:09Wait, are you two dating?
00:14:11Oh, well, actually...
00:14:12This is totally a date.
00:14:14All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:25You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:27Your brand?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:31You get it, right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43It's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:55This is so going viral.
00:14:57I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:58It looks like more than dating.
00:15:01Is this your son?
00:15:02I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:15:05Don't be silly.
00:15:06You 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.
00:15:14But 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.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:15:29afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:31It's okay, buddy.
00:15:32Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:34If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:37That is if mom's cool with it.
00:15:39Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:41Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on, let's go to Michelle.
00:16:04Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top, and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:19Daniel!
00:16:21You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:23On the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:27Daniel, he's here.
00:16:29Did he see us?
00:16:30Is he looking over here?
00:16:32Fuck, that's not good.
00:16:33I was just doing that for Felicia.
00:16:34I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:36Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:42Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:48What do I do?
00:16:49Well, that's it then.
00:16:52Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:53You need to leverage your relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:57I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:17:00You'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.
00:17:12I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans, I will
00:17:18come after you with everything I got.
00:17:20Daniel loves me.
00:17:21He has to understand.
00:17:23This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:34Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:42Are 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.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:02What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:05That's not what I meant.
00:18:06Whoa.
00:18:07Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09It's fine.
00:18:11Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:13Just like any good husband would.
00:18:15Oh, look how you see.
00:18:17Is it me?
00:18:18Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:20I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:25You know what?
00:18:25Maybe I should go.
00:18:27I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:28No, please stay.
00:18:29I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:33No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:36And clearly she wants you.
00:18:38I'm going to dance this soon.
00:18:39Daniel, wait.
00:18:41I won't ever let you go.
00:18:43He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:46It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:51I'm going to go back.
00:18:56Daniel!
00:19:07Oh, 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.
00:19:17Well, 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.
00:19:27He'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...
00:19:40What happened?
00:19:41You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're...
00:19:45I need to go right now.
00:19:47All right.
00:19:49Oh, wait.
00:19:51Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:59I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:20:02Just ignore him.
00:20:03He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:05No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:09Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:11Jealous?
00:20:13My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:20:16Whatever, 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?
00:20:41God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:46Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:50No, it's not like that.
00:20:53I...
00:20:54What?
00:20:55You know what?
00:20:56Fine.
00:20:59You two look great together.
00:21:01Daniel, I...
00:21:14And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:21Um...
00:21:25I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:30Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:34I was never the homemaker.
00:21:39Please, Daniel.
00:21:53I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:22:00If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:04I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:18Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:44There he is.
00:22:46God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:48Man.
00:22:49No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:52Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:56I got some.
00:22:59What do you need?
00:22:59Oh, oh.
00:23:00Yeah, there you go.
00:23:02I don't need some of this shit, but...
00:23:04I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:05Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:07Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:13Hey, uh...
00:23:14You're not the stuff that your wife had to take care of me last night, right?
00:23:18No.
00:23:19A 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.
00:23:40What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:43Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:44I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:47And it's unfair!
00:23:49That's a shame, huh?
00:23:50You know what?
00:23:50Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:52Here we go.
00:23:54Ooh!
00:23:55No, it's not to play with that.
00:23:59You never let me do anything!
00:24:02Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:24:05You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:24:07It's not about the money.
00:24:08It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:11Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:15Yeah?
00:24:16What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:18You're so annoying!
00:24:21Don't push.
00:24:27I said don't push.
00:24:29Go get a book or something.
00:24:30You want to get your hands off him?
00:24:32He's a Donovan, not some pathetic man-serving like you.
00:24:35What the hell?
00:24:36You just shot me.
00:24:40Call it a lesson.
00:24:41I'm teaching a kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:43He's not your kid.
00:24:44I wish I was!
00:24:46I hope Mom buries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:49I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:52Ouch!
00:24:52I mean, you just heard your son, so why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:57Come then.
00:24:57Maybe you will be.
00:24:58But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:25:02You?
00:25:03Man of the house?
00:25:05Please.
00:25:05You're a pussy in an apron.
00:25:07I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:25:11And you're washed a pack!
00:25:12Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:25:14How 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.
00:25:25Jackson, come on.
00:25:26I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:25:28No, I'm not going!
00:25:30Preston's way cooler than you!
00:25:32Preston!
00:25:33Preston!
00:25:34Preston!
00:25:58You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:26:01What was that?
00:26:09What was that?
00:26:09Daniel!
00:26:10What is happening?
00:26:12It was Dad, Mom!
00:26:13Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:26:16What?
00:26:16You're so serious!
00:26:17That would be pretty good, babe.
00:26:18What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:26:21I came in looking for a fight.
00:26:23What?
00:26:23I didn't.
00:26:24Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:26:26You're acting like a jealous child.
00:26:28Daniel, I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me.
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:26:34Bro, I'm up.
00:26:35Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:37What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What?
00:26:40Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:26:43Maybe I should go.
00:26:45I'm sorry.
00:26:45No!
00:26:46Oh my God!
00:26:48He's lying!
00:26:50You're a monster!
00:26:52And in front of your son?
00:26:54You have to be kidding!
00:26:56We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:57Sure.
00:26:59We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:27:01Come on.
00:27:02Clean this up!
00:27:05Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:27:10She's mine now, loser.
00:27:21Hello, thank you, my mother.
00:27:22What's your emergency?
00:27:23I'm waiting now.
00:27:25I think I hit an artery.
00:27:26I think I hit an ambulance now.
00:27:28Now!
00:27:39You did lose a lot of blood,
00:27:40so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight
00:27:42to pump you with liquid.
00:27:44To be honest, that's...
00:27:46I could use a break from home.
00:27:48Trouble with the missus?
00:27:52Uh...
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:53Pretty obvious.
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here
00:27:56are miserable.
00:27:58I shouldn't be saying this,
00:28:00but Sabrina Donovan was here
00:28:02with Preston Eastwood.
00:28:05True love story,
00:28:06holding hands,
00:28:07wiping tears.
00:28:09I've been obsessed with them
00:28:10since breaking the ice.
00:28:12You said, um,
00:28:14couple?
00:28:15I wasn't sure,
00:28:16but I checked the visitation logs,
00:28:18and it's official!
00:28:20She even helped me reposition Preston
00:28:22when his IV was twisted.
00:28:24She was so sweet.
00:28:29You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:33No, it's...
00:28:34It's my wound.
00:28:37I tore it, actually, um,
00:28:39ten years ago.
00:28:41Daniel!
00:28:43Sweet and caring.
00:28:45So Preston's found the Wi-Fi
00:28:47I always wanted.
00:28:48He only had to break her heart
00:28:49to get it,
00:28:50and left me
00:28:51to pick up the pieces.
00:28:56Fuck you!
00:28:58Fuck you!
00:29:00I'm gonna get my shit and go on.
00:29:04Mr. Lee,
00:29:05I don't know if you remember me.
00:29:06You once liked my short film.
00:29:07I have a strip I've been sitting on,
00:29:10and...
00:29:18It needs the right producer.
00:29:20I know it's a long shot,
00:29:21but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:29:24Where have you been?
00:29:26I kept calling.
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:29:30Huh?
00:29:35What?
00:29:35I've been busy.
00:29:36It means I thought you were busy
00:29:37entertaining Preston.
00:29:40Seriously?
00:29:41Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:43I told you,
00:29:44he's just a friend.
00:29:47Yeah.
00:29:48That's what you want to call it?
00:29:50I...
00:29:51I just...
00:29:53I'm sorry.
00:29:54I...
00:29:55Bringing Preston into our home
00:29:57was probably crossing the line.
00:30:02It is what it is.
00:30:04But I mean,
00:30:06you know how the industry works.
00:30:08You even just hint at a relationship,
00:30:10and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:30:13And I think you should go for it.
00:30:14I mean,
00:30:15you always do what's best for your career.
00:30:18But...
00:30:18I just...
00:30:19I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:30:24Seriously.
00:30:25Seriously.
00:30:26I...
00:30:26I care about you.
00:30:31I don't know that.
00:30:34I've known you for 14 years.
00:30:36I know when you're angry.
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention.
00:30:40I paid attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them.
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:50A headline.
00:30:51A performance.
00:30:54Sabrina.
00:30:57Sabrina.
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting.
00:31:02So,
00:31:02let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:05I was thinking
00:31:06we could revisit your script.
00:31:12I gave that to you three years ago.
00:31:14You tell me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah.
00:31:17The first ten pages,
00:31:19but
00:31:19they're good.
00:31:21The lead role is something
00:31:22I can really sink my teeth into.
00:31:24I mean,
00:31:24we have to do this.
00:31:25Me and you,
00:31:27the lead actress
00:31:28and the writer-director.
00:31:31I gave up on that dream
00:31:32of us working together
00:31:35a long time ago.
00:31:37Well,
00:31:37how about you make us some lattes
00:31:39and for the next hour
00:31:41we can just pour ourselves
00:31:42into the script,
00:31:43just like we used to
00:31:44in film school.
00:31:47There was a time
00:31:48when this would have worked on me.
00:31:50I would have melted
00:31:51in her hands.
00:31:53Now I just want to
00:31:53pack and get out of here.
00:32:10I don't know what you do,
00:32:12but
00:32:12I asked the chef
00:32:14to make a latte
00:32:14while you were gone
00:32:15and it was
00:32:17awful.
00:32:19Well,
00:32:19I've had a lot of experience
00:32:20making it for you
00:32:20and I'll be sure to tell him
00:32:21how you like it.
00:32:22That's not what I meant.
00:32:25I like it when you make it.
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here
00:32:30to make it.
00:32:33I knew it.
00:32:35You are mad
00:32:36that I brought Preston back here.
00:32:37I told you
00:32:38it was just a publicity stunt.
00:32:41It's not like
00:32:42our marriage
00:32:43is going to get me
00:32:43on the cover
00:32:44of Vanity Fair.
00:32:46Married people
00:32:47are fucking boring.
00:32:49It's good to know
00:32:50where you stand.
00:32:51No, Daniel.
00:32:53No, that's not what I meant.
00:33:00Look what you made me do.
00:33:04Just leave it.
00:33:06I thought you would appreciate
00:33:07that I read your script.
00:33:10And what?
00:33:10It would make up
00:33:11for all the years
00:33:12of indifference.
00:33:13I'm just trying to do
00:33:13something nice.
00:33:15And look what I get for it.
00:33:17You know what?
00:33:18Forget it.
00:33:19I have a mirror.
00:33:20Just talk about this tomorrow.
00:33:37What?
00:33:38Is that how you talk
00:33:39to your mother-in-law?
00:33:40Yeah, ex-mother-in-law.
00:33:41Not quite.
00:33:43That was the divorce contract.
00:33:44But if you want a clean break,
00:33:45we need to finalize
00:33:46your entertainment contract
00:33:47and our family's MTA.
00:33:49This is showbiz, baby.
00:33:51Remember that.
00:33:52I'll text you the address
00:33:53where's Mimi.
00:34:04I heard she was sneaking
00:34:06Preston Eastwood
00:34:07into her trailer
00:34:08on set.
00:34:09Oh, please.
00:34:10She's always been so secretive.
00:34:12I mean, this is her movie premiere
00:34:14and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:34:18I read somewhere
00:34:20that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:34:24Oh, wow.
00:34:25If we want the tea,
00:34:26let's get it from the pot.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:32Jackson!
00:34:33We were just talking
00:34:34about your mom.
00:34:36Do you know where she is
00:34:37or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:34:41He's been staying with us.
00:34:43Really?
00:34:45Do you think Mr. Eastwood
00:34:46might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so.
00:34:49I really hope so.
00:34:50He's way cooler
00:34:51than my old-born real dad.
00:34:54Speaking of,
00:34:55I don't think we've ever met
00:34:56your real dad.
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home
00:34:59doing chores like a maid.
00:35:06What are you doing here?
00:35:08You never come to these things.
00:35:10Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:35:13Get lost.
00:35:14You embarrass us.
00:35:16Jackson,
00:35:17do 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
00:35:34choose this flop
00:35:35over Preston?
00:35:36If that was a problem,
00:35:38that's none of your business.
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad.
00:35:41You're a pathetic loser.
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson.
00:35:44You should probably
00:35:45listen to your kid
00:35:46and head out
00:35:46because
00:35:48you're starting to be insane.
00:35:49I'm just here
00:35:50to talk to Celeste.
00:35:51That's not what I see.
00:35:52You showed up uninvited
00:35:55in street rags,
00:35:57abused Sabrina's kid
00:35:58and pit a fight
00:35:59with an A-lister.
00:36:01That's the kind of story
00:36:03the press would devour.
00:36:05It doesn't take much
00:36:06to be canceled these days.
00:36:07And then they would
00:36:08praise Sabrina
00:36:10for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:36:12This was all stuff,
00:36:13was it?
00:36:14You were revolting.
00:36:16No wonder Sabrina
00:36:17turned out the way she did.
00:36:18Hey.
00:36:21How are you watching now?
00:36:23Trash like him
00:36:23is always forgetting
00:36:24their place in the world.
00:36:26Yeah.
00:36:27Maybe I should teach him
00:36:28a lesson.
00:36:28Oh yeah?
00:36:29What lesson's that, Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back
00:36:32to your ex
00:36:32that you cheated on
00:36:33so that you can
00:36:34leech off her career?
00:36:35Hmm.
00:36:57What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:01Oh my god, Daniel!
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:05Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:37:07Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go.
00:37:10Hollywood's finest.
00:37:12Always performing
00:37:13when there's an audience.
00:37:15It's Daniel.
00:37:16He's a monster.
00:37:18He found out about
00:37:18your premiere
00:37:19and crashed the party.
00:37:21Mommy!
00:37:21Dad came in here
00:37:22and started shouting at me.
00:37:24No.
00:37:25No, that's not true.
00:37:26If Preston weren't here,
00:37:28Daniel would have
00:37:29manhandled Jackson
00:37:30in front of the reporters.
00:37:31Can you imagine
00:37:33the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel.
00:37:37Is that true?
00:37:40Sabrina.
00:37:42Oh!
00:37:44Yeah, I think
00:37:45he got me in the ribs.
00:37:47I think one of them
00:37:48was broken.
00:37:49Sabrina.
00:37:50Honey.
00:37:51We need to help Preston.
00:37:55But Daniel.
00:37:56But Daniel.
00:37:59Imagine choosing
00:38:00that loser
00:38:00for Preston Eastwood.
00:38:13Mommy, please!
00:38:14We can't leave him!
00:38:16I...
00:38:16I have...
00:38:18I have to help Preston.
00:38:33Come out, Jackson.
00:38:40Daniel!
00:38:42I got you.
00:38:44Then let me go!
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:47There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston
00:38:50can give her the life
00:38:51she's grown used to
00:38:52after all these years
00:38:53of me slaving for her.
00:39:02Well,
00:39:03that went even better
00:39:05than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make
00:39:07a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting
00:39:09for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber
00:39:12waiting for you outside
00:39:13to take you
00:39:14to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact,
00:39:19get out of the country.
00:39:21If I so much
00:39:22as see your name
00:39:23next to my daughters
00:39:24in a tabloid,
00:39:25I will make your life
00:39:26a living hell.
00:39:41Don't worry about it.
00:39:43Just dry.
00:39:56I used to
00:39:57ache for her approval.
00:39:59Now I just want to
00:40:01breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:06Say that.
00:40:07I don't know.
00:40:07Why is it down?
00:40:09Oh!
00:40:09I'm going to call the doctor.
00:40:11Okay?
00:40:14What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:25So what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:29Come on.
00:40:29I know you want this.
00:40:30I see the way
00:40:31you look at me.
00:40:32How that Daniel's gone.
00:40:34We have the house
00:40:35to ourself.
00:40:36I could finally have you
00:40:38in this bedroom.
00:40:48What am I doing?
00:40:50Daniel is still injured.
00:40:52He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:58Sabrina?
00:41:07Kristen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally...
00:41:12Come on.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:19Look.
00:41:19I love Jackson
00:41:21and I'm ready to be the man
00:41:22that you've always wanted.
00:41:24I'm ready to be a dad
00:41:26to that little boy.
00:41:28I mean, come on.
00:41:29Sabrina, your son,
00:41:30your mother,
00:41:31even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:34What?
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:40No.
00:41:40No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:43Where is he?
00:41:45What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance
00:41:47ten years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care
00:41:50of my husband.
00:41:57Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:00Excuse me.
00:42:01Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please.
00:42:05He was someone bleeding out.
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside
00:42:08holding his head
00:42:09after he spoke
00:42:10to some older woman.
00:42:11He didn't come back in, though.
00:42:16Come on, Daniel.
00:42:17Where are you?
00:42:19I'm sorry,
00:42:19but the number
00:42:20you are trying to reach
00:42:21is no longer in service.
00:42:23Please try again later.
00:42:25What have I done?
00:42:37Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:45He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel
00:42:48wouldn't leave me.
00:42:57He loves me too much
00:42:59to abandon me
00:43:00when I need him the most.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:07He will be back.
00:43:10No.
00:43:13No.
00:43:22Boy, it's all the assets.
00:43:24Climb zero,
00:43:25Castillo, Jackson.
00:43:27The waves all spousal support.
00:43:29No.
00:43:30No, he can't leave me.
00:43:32He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on him.
00:43:36No.
00:43:38No.
00:43:46All this time,
00:43:49who's going to leave me?
00:44:04It can't be.
00:44:08It's not her.
00:44:09Honestly,
00:44:10it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:19We're his family.
00:44:21After all these years,
00:44:23everything we've been through.
00:44:47I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go.
00:44:51Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:58No, it's Mom.
00:45:00Is everything okay?
00:45:01He's not paying attention.
00:45:02Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:06Daniel.
00:45:07He just left us.
00:45:10Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him.
00:45:14We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:16Oh, honey.
00:45:17It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning
00:45:24and explain everything.
00:45:33I'm hungry!
00:45:35Dad!
00:45:37Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:45:39Taxi?
00:45:42I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad.
00:45:49Your dad.
00:45:51He's left us.
00:45:54I'm sorry,
00:45:54but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01He was so embarrassing.
00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:06What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:46:10should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:46:11and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone!
00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson!
00:46:24You have a dad.
00:46:25And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan,
00:46:40it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry,
00:46:44I don't have the time.
00:46:45Large thumbs have been wired
00:46:46to someone named
00:46:48Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:51No.
00:46:51But I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:54I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Jackson,
00:46:59I don't want to ever hear you
00:47:00say Preston's name again.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father,
00:47:06the one who raised you
00:47:07and cared about you,
00:47:08is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him
00:47:10at all costs.
00:47:12What kind of coward
00:47:14abandons his family?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:17I can't do this anymore.
00:47:20I'll cancel everything.
00:47:22The interviews
00:47:23and the red carpets.
00:47:25I don't want to be seen.
00:47:26and I can't pretend.
00:47:29I just want him back.
00:47:32Honey,
00:47:33it's time to let him go.
00:47:35You don't love him anyway.
00:47:38Think about what Preston
00:47:40would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How could you say
00:47:46something like that?
00:47:47Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:51He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me
00:47:54when Preston dropped me
00:47:55like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel
00:47:57is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:00Daniel's my husband
00:48:02and the father of my son.
00:48:04Yeah,
00:48:04some husband
00:48:05abandoning you
00:48:06without a moment's notice,
00:48:07wanting nothing to do
00:48:08with this child
00:48:09just because I contraended?
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:18What are you talking about?
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Forget it.
00:48:23Just pretend
00:48:23I didn't say anything.
00:48:25When I caught you
00:48:25and Daniel
00:48:26at the restaurant
00:48:27the other day,
00:48:28you said that
00:48:28he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something
00:48:31you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please.
00:48:33I just want the truth.
00:48:35Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:39I will tell you the truth.
00:48:41But promise me
00:48:42you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth,
00:48:47Sabrina.
00:48:49But know
00:48:49it was all
00:48:51for your own good.
00:48:55When Preston left you,
00:48:57you were distraught.
00:48:58I had to save you.
00:49:00She's lost
00:49:01without 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.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:15So that she's never
00:49:16alone again.
00:49:23It was all
00:49:23just some sort of
00:49:24obligation?
00:49:26How could you do
00:49:27this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:31You wanted to control me.
00:49:32All because you needed me
00:49:34for my career,
00:49:35my money.
00:49:36Well,
00:49:37it worked, didn't it?
00:49:42You were about to
00:49:43throw yourself
00:49:44off a rooftop.
00:49:46Daniel did
00:49:46what he was meant
00:49:47to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you
00:49:54where he went.
00:49:55Where is he?
00:49:56You can do
00:49:56better than him.
00:49:58You are
00:49:59Sabrina Donovan,
00:50:00Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me,
00:50:03it's for the best.
00:50:04No!
00:50:05He can't be gone!
00:50:06He can't!
00:50:07Yes,
00:50:08he is gone
00:50:09and he is gone
00:50:10forever.
00:50:11He can't be!
00:50:12He can't be gone!
00:50:13He can't!
00:50:34I'm live at the
00:50:35highly anticipated premiere
00:50:37of Howl,
00:50:37the tame silver fox
00:50:38that's already generated
00:50:40a considerable buzz
00:50:41for his new writer
00:50:42to director.
00:50:44Speaking of which,
00:50:45there he is now,
00:50:46Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:51Daniel,
00:50:51your film received
00:50:52the palm door
00:50:53at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through
00:50:55your head tonight?
00:50:58Honestly,
00:50:58I'm just trying not to
00:50:59trip over my own
00:51:00shtet.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:03Oh man,
00:51:03how comfortable
00:51:04these designer shoes
00:51:05would be.
00:51:06I've heard this talk
00:51:07of a sequel.
00:51:08Uh, yeah.
00:51:10God, my career
00:51:11has been a long time
00:51:12in the making
00:51:12and I've been very honest
00:51:14about it actually.
00:51:15I almost gave up
00:51:16the dream.
00:51:17But London,
00:51:19London lit the fire
00:51:20under me
00:51:21and I feel like
00:51:21I found my voice
00:51:22and it really is
00:51:24full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London,
00:51:26since you're
00:51:27an American writer's
00:51:28will you be making
00:51:29your way back
00:51:29back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:35Get out of the country.
00:51:37If I so much
00:51:38as see your name
00:51:39next to my daughters
00:51:40in a tabloid,
00:51:41that will make your life
00:51:42a living hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:52:01He's no good
00:52:02at bragging about himself
00:52:03so I'll do it for him.
00:52:05Daniel is a true auteur
00:52:07and a creative genius
00:52:09and it was a privilege
00:52:10to be this meeting lady.
00:52:12That's not a light compliment
00:52:13coming from Emily Blake,
00:52:15two-time Golden Globe
00:52:16award-winning actress
00:52:17and celebrated alumni
00:52:19of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:21Well, I've heard that
00:52:21your relationship
00:52:23wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:31She was practically
00:52:32eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean, I can't believe
00:52:37this is happening to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:40The moment I read your script,
00:52:41I knew you were special.
00:52:45Daniel, enjoy this
00:52:48and get used to compliments.
00:52:50There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me out of it.
00:52:54I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:58You okay?
00:52:59You always do that
00:53:00when you're nervous.
00:53:01I know it's though.
00:53:03I'll have it.
00:53:04Well, the world's about
00:53:06to meet its new
00:53:07favourite filmmaker.
00:53:09Some of us just got
00:53:10a head start.
00:53:22I know.
00:53:24Press is good press.
00:53:30Daniel becomes an award-winning director
00:53:33and he's cheating on me
00:53:35with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:38He can't do this to me.
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:42I don't have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How could he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:47Move on?
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:53Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:56He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:53:59I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world.
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:08Look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:54:16Well, when he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston.
00:54:19Your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom, I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No, I hate what she cooks.
00:54:31And I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:33Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:35Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:38No, Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel'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?
00:54:48You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat.
00:54:57Enough, you little shit.
00:55:01Enough.
00:55:02Just enough.
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:12What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:15Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:19No.
00:55:19I 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.
00:55:32Hey, babe.
00:55:34Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for what?
00:55:36Making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:38Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:39You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:52That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year.
00:56:00Come on.
00:56:00We're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:07You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:10And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:23It's not like that.
00:56:24Okay?
00:56:25Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:32When's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:39Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:01We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:04No, babe, babe.
00:57:05Come on.
00:57:05Please.
00:57:06Please, I love you.
00:57:07Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:17Now.
00:57:18Just give me your hand.
00:57:19Come on.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real thing.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:27I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never...
00:57:30You're glad that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:57:33We'll never tell.
00:57:38Oh, my God.
00:57:39You're not.
00:57:40You truly loved me.
00:57:42I know.
00:57:43Jeez.
00:57:44This is so surreal.
00:57:45I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:57:47I can.
00:57:48The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:57:53Daniel.
00:57:55Enjoy this.
00:57:57And get used to compliments.
00:57:59There's already Oscar buzz.
00:58:01Fuck.
00:58:02Finish me.
00:58:03I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:58:07You okay?
00:58:08You're the sexiest man alive.
00:58:10Is that all you care about?
00:58:12I'll have it.
00:58:13Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:58:18So, this just got a head start.
00:58:32I think...
00:58:33The price is good price.
00:58:44You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:46I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:48In film school,
00:58:50we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:58:54I mean, you know this.
00:58:55You're a legend.
00:58:57I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:58:58All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:00You're a powerhouse sitting idle in the wrong country.
00:59:03I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:05I got projects.
00:59:06Come on.
00:59:07You're built for billion dollar franchises.
00:59:09Hollywood blockbusters.
00:59:10The one that gets made in L.A., not London.
00:59:13That's where you belong.
00:59:15To be honest, I already did all I...
00:59:17It 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.
00:59:26You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:29You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:33You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:59:35Three picture deal.
00:59:36200 million dollar budget each.
00:59:38Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:40I don't know what to say.
00:59:41Just say yes.
00:59:42You have my number.
00:59:44Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:46Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:47You can't run away from the past.
00:59:49You 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?
01:00:11Of course, it's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:17Is 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.
01:00:32You arrogant little shit.
01:00:34I told you if you ever sat put in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:44It's less, Donovan.
01:00:45I need a favor.
01:00:46I 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.
01:00:57Mom, what are you doing?
01:01:02Did you just break my TV?
01:01:05Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:08You know what I'm supposed to do with that.
01:01:10You've been so kind, though.
01:01:11It's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:16He'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.
01:01:26I need to get on that movie.
01:01:28Absolutely not.
01:01:30You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:31If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:35Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:37He still loves me.
01:01:40He has to.
01:01:42I just need to talk to him.
01:01:45Let him go.
01:01:48Mom.
01:01:50Honey, I...
01:01:52You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:01:56I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:00I love you.
01:02:02I love you, too.
01:02:06Here we go.
01:02:09This is, um...
01:02:10It's another movie deal.
01:02:12I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:28Did you get his location?
01:02:31The Oaks.
01:02:328 p.m.
01:02:34After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:38He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:50She's not protecting me.
01:02:52She's protecting her business.
01:02:54And I'm just a pawn.
01:02:56But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:03:00It's so nice having you back.
01:03:03And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:05Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:07A couple?
01:03:09Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:13If you can even call them that.
01:03:14You're healthy now.
01:03:15And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:18I mean, yeah, there was a time that I...
01:03:20I love Sabrina, but...
01:03:21I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:23To marriage, to kids.
01:03:24It's...
01:03:25I mean, we really tried.
01:03:27I thought I could make it go for it, but, um...
01:03:30It's over.
01:03:32It's over.
01:03:33I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:44Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:48She dumped him.
01:03:49It was all over People Magazine.
01:03:51She ended it when his star faded.
01:03:55Oh, my gosh, it was.
01:04:02Daniel!
01:04:05Stop!
01:04:14Sabina, what are you doing here?
01:04:16I'm here to help you.
01:04:18Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:04:21Let's go home.
01:04:21Sabina?
01:04:22How could you?
01:04:23What?
01:04:23I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:28I begged and pleaded.
01:04:29Stop lying.
01:04:31I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:34And 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.
01:04:45I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:45Not anymore.
01:04:46Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:50I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:04:54I'm your mother.
01:04:56I only want what's best for you.
01:04:59What's best for me?
01:05:02You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:07And that all ends today.
01:05:12You're fired.
01:05:14You're fired.
01:05:16No.
01:05:19No.
01:05:24No.
01:05:25You can't do this to me.
01:05:27Please.
01:05:28Please, sweetie.
01:05:29I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:30You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:35I 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.
01:05:44I made you.
01:05:46You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:50I think she'll do just fine.
01:05:58We're done here, Mom.
01:06:00Mom, if you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:08Without another word.
01:06:20I have something to say.
01:06:24I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:27I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:30I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:34I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:44Apologize to your father.
01:06:46Do I have to?
01:06:48Who raised you?
01:06:50Cared for you?
01:06:53Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:06:56Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:00He did.
01:07:02He loved you.
01:07:03But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:05I was wrong.
01:07:07Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:12And now there is nothing we could do to take that back.
01:07:16I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:21This could be okay, son.
01:07:23I love you.
01:07:24Okay.
01:07:25Come on, Jackson.
01:07:27Let's go.
01:07:28Come on.
01:07:30Yeah.
01:07:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:36For everything.
01:07:47I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:49You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:54I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:07:56They hurt you, Daniel.
01:07:59They 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.
01:08:14And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:22Daniel!
01:08:24Daniel!
01:08:24Daniel!
01:08:24Go for it!
01:08:26Daniel!
01:08:26Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf
01:08:30for ten years?
01:08:31Yes.
01:08:32I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:08:38But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:41I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:51Way to go, John!
01:09:10Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:14We'll keep in touch.
01:09:22What do we have today?
01:09:2340, sir.
01:09:24Jeez.
01:09:25Hey, boy!
01:09:26How are we looking?
01:09:28Still big in here.
01:09:29Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:32I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:36All right, here's the deal.
01:09:37The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:41Today?
01:09:42Are you fucking kidding?
01:09:43That's why I love you, man.
01:09:44Cool under pressure.
01:09:46This movie is going to blow the roof off.
01:09:52Oh, my God.
01:09:53All right, just bring in the next one.
01:09:55But that would be Emily Blake.
01:10:01Emily.
01:10:06Emily.
01:10:07Amazing, as always.
01:10:10You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:13Please.
01:10:13I wasn't going to miss a shot too much for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:18How's L.A. treating you?
01:10:20Oh, my God.
01:10:21That's tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:24But I am...
01:10:26I'm glad to be back.
01:10:27Well, it's no English countryside.
01:10:29Yeah.
01:10:30But it suits you.
01:10:33You definitely belong here.
01:10:38I do miss you, though.
01:10:40I do miss you, though.
01:10:40It was fun.
01:10:41Playing the part.
01:10:43British starlet.
01:10:44American director.
01:10:46I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:51Waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:53I'm sorry, Emily.
01:10:56It just cost me, and we'll call it even.
01:11:00You were amazing, as always.
01:11:03It's just...
01:11:05It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:08I never was, was I?
01:11:12Anyways...
01:11:12I've got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:16Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:18Yeah.
01:11:30Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:32Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:35And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:43Oh, my God.
01:11:44What am I going to do?
01:11:55What are you doing here?
01:12:05I came to audition.
01:12:09Did you bring any representation?
01:12:11No.
01:12:12I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:15You'd be nothing without me!
01:12:21Donovan.
01:12:24Don't let me go!
01:12:26I got you.
01:12:27I'll never let you go.
01:12:31Are you okay?
01:12:32Yeah.
01:12:33It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:36never really healed.
01:12:39I understand.
01:12:43Daniel Johnson.
01:12:46Nice to meet you.
01:12:49Please.
01:12:58Whenever you're ready.
