00:08:24Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:28Just...
00:08:28Just give me your hand.
00:08:33No!
00:08:44Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:48No!
00:08:49Don't let me go!
00:08:51I won't ever let you go.
00:08:57I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:01Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:07And you're never going to be alone again.
00:09:16Good to see you!
00:09:18Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, too long.
00:09:20What's you?
00:09:22Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:25God, of course, babe.
00:09:26Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:28Are you kidding?
00:09:29Oh, Daniel, Preston's going to stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:33Oh, there he is!
00:09:35The assistant!
00:09:36I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:39God, how did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:09:44Stop!
00:09:44I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:09:51Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:09:55Daniel!
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:56Don't embarrass me.
00:09:57No, it's fine.
00:09:58Whoa, you played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:03He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:07My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:09He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:11Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:14What are you saying, huh?
00:10:15Yeah.
00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20That's fine.
00:10:21That's fine.
00:10:23Just relax, okay?
00:10:25Be nice.
00:10:28Some people never change, but once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her
00:10:40when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:42Yeah, it's nice, but this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:54Oh, careful.
00:10:56You all right?
00:10:56I'm still starving.
00:11:01Make me some food.
00:11:02Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:05Stew?
00:11:06Ew.
00:11:07What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:09I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:12Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:15I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:18Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21Well, babe, for real?
00:11:24Yeah.
00:11:25My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:28Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:30I'm rich.
00:11:31Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:35I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:39See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:41You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:42You realize that's why no one bought your scripts?
00:11:44They were so dull.
00:11:46Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:49Well, and for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:53So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:57My treat.
00:11:59Here we go.
00:11:59What?
00:12:01Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:03All of you insist.
00:12:05I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06So.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:10Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:14So.
00:12:15Anyways.
00:12:15Come on, Ben.
00:12:16Let's go.
00:12:18Whoops, great.
00:12:18Gotcha.
00:12:19There we go.
00:12:20Oh.
00:12:21There's Paps.
00:12:23You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:26Last time.
00:12:27I promise.
00:12:29You're right.
00:12:31It is the last time.
00:12:34Hey, guys.
00:12:36Jackson.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:44Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:48Contract's fine.
00:12:51It's over.
00:12:52Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:56I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:00To 10 years of heartbreak?
00:13:01I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:02I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:02Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:07I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:11Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:23She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:28Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:29I could scream.
00:13:30I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:32Preston Eastwood, I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.
00:13:36OMG, I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:39A scene that I wrote, uncredited of course.
00:13:42Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:44Wait, are you two dating?
00:13:46Oh, well, actually, this is totally a date.
00:13:50All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:53Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:00You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:02Your brand?
00:14:03It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:05You get it, right?
00:14:15So, you two are a thing?
00:14:17Well, I...
00:14:18Oh, it's okay, babe.
00:14:19We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:20Yes.
00:14:23This is so going viral.
00:14:31I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:33It looks like more than dating.
00:14:35Is this your son?
00:14:36I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:39Don't be silly.
00:14:40You have a dad and he's a sissy.
00:14:43That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:45He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:48But Preston is awesome.
00:14:51He's an action spy.
00:14:52I wish he was my dad.
00:14:55My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:58But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood afterparty with a call girl.
00:15:04It's okay, buddy.
00:15:05Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:07If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:10That is if mom's school is in.
00:15:12Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:14Daniel, he, you know, he's, Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:20Come on.
00:15:21Let's give Michelle.
00:15:22Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:40I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:45Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:51Daniel!
00:15:52You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:55From the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:59Daniel, he's here?
00:16:00He, did he see us?
00:16:02Is he looking over here?
00:16:03Oh, fuck.
00:16:04That's not good.
00:16:04I was just doing that for Felicity.
00:16:06I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:07Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:09Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:13Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:15Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:17Jackson, enough.
00:16:19What do I do?
00:16:21Well, that's it then.
00:16:23Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:25I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:28I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:32You're really good at that.
00:16:33Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:36A one-way ticket, so you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:43I know the contract is over, but if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:48I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:51Daniel loves me.
00:16:52He has to understand.
00:16:53This is Hollywood.
00:16:54It's just part of the job.
00:16:57Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:04Daniel, what is this?
00:17:06I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:09All it takes is one article to get her canceled.
00:17:12Are you going somewhere?
00:17:15Honey, oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:17We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:21Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:22A vacation?
00:17:23Finally.
00:17:24You're paying attention.
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:27I'm going to leave in a few days.
00:17:29Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:31What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:33Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:34That's not what I meant.
00:17:35Whoa.
00:17:36Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:39It's fine.
00:17:40Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:42Just like any good husband would.
00:17:44Oh, I see.
00:17:46Is it me?
00:17:47Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:49I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:51I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:53You know what?
00:17:54Maybe I should go.
00:17:55I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:57No, please stay.
00:17:58I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:02No, you know what?
00:18:03I'll go.
00:18:05And clearly she wants you.
00:18:06I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:07Daniel, wait.
00:18:10I won't ever let you go.
00:18:12He won't leave.
00:18:13He promised.
00:18:14It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:16We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:19I'm going to go back.
00:18:23Daniel!
00:18:27Please.
00:18:28Better than yours.
00:18:30Yeah.
00:18:31Shh.
00:18:32Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:34Oh, good.
00:18:36You're up.
00:18:38Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:43It's fun.
00:18:44Why don't look at me like that?
00:18:46I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:49Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:53How lucky for him.
00:18:55He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:58Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:01Listen, man, I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:07You can trust me.
00:19:10Preston, I think you're a little drunk.
00:19:13You need to go right now.
00:19:14All right.
00:19:15Oh, hey.
00:19:17Daniel, seriously, listen, man.
00:19:19I, I, when you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:25I, I'm going to be the best man of the house.
00:19:29Just ignore him.
00:19:30He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:31No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:35Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:37Jealous?
00:19:39My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:42Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:47You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:53That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house
00:19:58husband.
00:19:59Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:05Oh my God.
00:20:07God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:11Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:15No, it's not like that.
00:20:17I, what?
00:20:20You know what?
00:20:21Fine.
00:20:24You two look great together.
00:20:25Daniel, I,
00:20:26And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:45Um,
00:20:46I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:52Without me,
00:20:55you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:58I was never the homemaker.
00:21:04Please,
00:21:04Daniel.
00:21:16I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:22If you're sick,
00:21:25can you go in the other room?
00:21:27I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:41Look at her now.
00:21:43Playing house for another man.
00:21:44If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:21:49There he is.
00:22:07God,
00:22:08I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:10Man.
00:22:11No,
00:22:11I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:14Life of an A-lister,
00:22:14I guess.
00:22:15I got some.
00:22:19Yeah.
00:22:20What do you need?
00:22:21Oh,
00:22:21oh,
00:22:22yeah,
00:22:22there you go.
00:22:23I'd offer you some of this shit,
00:22:24but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:26Yeah,
00:22:26this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:28Bulking up for a new Marvel movie.
00:22:34Hey,
00:22:34uh,
00:22:35you're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of me last night,
00:22:38right?
00:22:38Okay.
00:22:39Not?
00:22:40A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:42Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:48It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:01What's wrong,
00:23:01Jackson?
00:23:03Mr.
00:23:03Eastwood,
00:23:04I want to play with the fish,
00:23:06but my stupid dad won't let me.
00:23:08And it's unfair.
00:23:09That's a shame,
00:23:10huh?
00:23:10You know what?
00:23:11Let me grab it for you,
00:23:11little man.
00:23:12Here we go.
00:23:14Ooh.
00:23:15No,
00:23:16it's not to play with that.
00:23:19You never let me do anything!
00:23:22Come on,
00:23:23it's just a fish tank,
00:23:24Daniel.
00:23:25You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:27It's not about the money.
00:23:28It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:31Unfortunately,
00:23:32he's surrounded by
00:23:32bad examples.
00:23:35Yeah?
00:23:36What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:38You're so annoying!
00:23:39Don't push.
00:23:46I said don't push.
00:23:48Go get a book or something.
00:23:49Why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:51He's a Donovan,
00:23:52not some pathetic man-servant like you.
00:23:54God,
00:23:54what the hell?
00:23:55Just shut me.
00:23:59Call it a lesson.
00:24:00I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:24:02He's not your kid.
00:24:03I wish I was.
00:24:05I hope mom buries him so you can be gone forever.
00:24:08I hate seeing your stupid face.
00:24:10Ouch.
00:24:11I mean,
00:24:12you just heard your son.
00:24:13So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:15Hermit.
00:24:16Maybe it will be.
00:24:17But until then,
00:24:18I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:20You?
00:24:22Man of the house?
00:24:23Please.
00:24:23You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:25I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid,
00:24:26much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:28And you're a washed up pack.
00:24:30Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:32How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:35I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:37I'm a fucking star.
00:24:38A star?
00:24:40A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:43Jackson,
00:24:44come on.
00:24:44I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:46No,
00:24:46I'm not going.
00:24:48Preston's way cooler than you.
00:24:50Preston,
00:24:50Preston,
00:24:51Preston.
00:24:58You know,
00:25:15there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:18What was that?
00:25:25Daniel!
00:25:27What is happening?
00:25:28It was dad,
00:25:29mom.
00:25:30Dad was attacking Mr.
00:25:32Eastwood.
00:25:32What?
00:25:32I'm so scared.
00:25:33That'd be pretty good,
00:25:34babe.
00:25:35What the hell,
00:25:36Daniel?
00:25:36I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:38I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:39What?
00:25:40I didn't?
00:25:41Ew,
00:25:41what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:42You're acting like a jealous child.
00:25:45I thought you were bigger than this petty shit.
00:25:47He threw a fish tank at me.
00:25:48It's just a fucking fish tank.
00:25:50Throw up.
00:25:51Remember we're in the public eye?
00:25:53What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:55What?
00:25:55Everyone knows your precious press that attacked me?
00:25:58Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:26:01No.
00:26:02Oh, my God.
00:26:04He's lying.
00:26:06You're a monster.
00:26:08And in front of your son?
00:26:09You have to be kidding.
00:26:11We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:13Yeah.
00:26:14We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:16Come on.
00:26:17Clean this up.
00:26:18Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:25She's mine now, loser.
00:26:35Hello, 911.
00:26:37What's your emergency?
00:26:38I'm bleeding out.
00:26:39I think I hit an artery.
00:26:41I need an ambulance now.
00:26:42Now.
00:26:48You did lose a lot of blood.
00:26:55So we're going to have to keep you here overnight to pump you with liquid.
00:26:59To be honest, that's...
00:27:00I could use a break from home.
00:27:02Trouble with the missus?
00:27:03Uh, yeah.
00:27:07Pretty obvious.
00:27:09Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:12I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood.
00:27:19True love story holding hands, wiping tears.
00:27:22I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:26You said, um, a couple?
00:27:28I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs, and it's official.
00:27:33She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:38She was so sweet.
00:27:43Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:46No, it's...
00:27:48It's an old wound.
00:27:50I tore it, actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:54Daniel!
00:27:55Sweet and caring.
00:27:58So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:28:01He only had to break her heart to get it,
00:28:03and left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:11Fuck it.
00:28:13Let me go get my shit in, y'all.
00:28:16Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:18You once liked my short film.
00:28:20I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:21And...
00:28:22It needs the right producer.
00:28:32I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:36Where have you been?
00:28:38I kept calling.
00:28:39I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:41Huh?
00:28:47What?
00:28:47I've been busy.
00:28:48Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:51Seriously?
00:28:52Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:54I told you, he's just a friend.
00:28:58Yeah.
00:28:59That's what you want to call it?
00:29:00I...
00:29:01I...
00:29:02I just...
00:29:04I'm sorry.
00:29:06I...
00:29:06Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:13It is what it is.
00:29:15But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:19You even just hint at a relationship, and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:23And I think you should go for it.
00:29:25I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:27But, I just...
00:29:30I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:35Seriously.
00:29:36I...
00:29:36I care about you.
00:29:42I love it.
00:29:44I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:46I know when you're angry.
00:29:47Really?
00:29:48I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:50I pay attention?
00:29:52Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:54She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:58That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:30:00A headline.
00:30:01A performance.
00:30:04Sabrina.
00:30:08Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:09You know what?
00:30:10I hate fighting.
00:30:11So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:14I was thinking.
00:30:16We could revisit your script.
00:30:18I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:23You telling me you finally read it?
00:30:26Well, yeah.
00:30:27The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:30The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:33I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:35Me and you.
00:30:36The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:38I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:44A long time ago.
00:30:45Well, how about you make us some lattes, and for the next hour, we can just pour ourselves
00:30:51into the script.
00:30:52Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:55There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:58I would have melted in her hands.
00:31:01Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:03Fine.
00:31:08I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and
00:31:23it was awful.
00:31:26Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how
00:31:29you like it.
00:31:30That's not what I meant.
00:31:32I like it when you make it.
00:31:36I'm not going to always be here.
00:31:38To make it.
00:31:40I knew it.
00:31:42You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:44I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:48God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:53Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:56It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:58No, Daniel.
00:31:59No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:01Look what you made me do.
00:32:08Just leave it.
00:32:12I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:16And what?
00:32:17It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:19I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:21And look what I get for it.
00:32:23You know what?
00:32:24Forget it.
00:32:25I have a mirror.
00:32:26We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:28What?
00:32:43Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:46Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:47Not quite.
00:32:48That was the divorce contract.
00:32:50But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:32:54This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:56Remember that.
00:32:57I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:09I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:14Oh, please.
00:33:15She's always been so secretive.
00:33:17I mean, this is her movie premiere, and where is her husband?
00:33:21Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:23I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:29Oh, well.
00:33:30If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:32Come here.
00:33:33Ow.
00:33:36Jackson!
00:33:38We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:40Do you know where she is?
00:33:41Or who she's with?
00:33:43She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:45He's been staying with us.
00:33:47Really?
00:33:49Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:52Oh, I hope so.
00:33:53I really hope so.
00:33:54He's way cooler than my old, boring, real dad.
00:33:58Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:34:01Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:04What are you doing here?
00:34:11You never come to these things.
00:34:14Well, that's got to be the husband.
00:34:17Get lost.
00:34:18You embarrass us.
00:34:19Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:21I'm your father.
00:34:22I wish you never were my dad.
00:34:27Is there a problem?
00:34:28Oh, my God.
00:34:34That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:36How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:39If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:42I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:43You're a pathetic loser.
00:34:45Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:46You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:52I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:53That's not what I see.
00:34:55You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid, and picked a fight with an A-lister.
00:35:03That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:07It doesn't take much to be canceled these days.
00:35:09And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:14This was all a stunt, was it?
00:35:16You were revolting.
00:35:18No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:20Hey.
00:35:20Why don't you watch her mouth?
00:35:24Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:28Yeah.
00:35:28Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:30Oh, yeah?
00:35:31What lesson's that, Preston?
00:35:32You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:37Hmm.
00:35:41Oh!
00:35:50What the hell?
00:36:00What happened?
00:36:02Oh my god, Daniel!
00:36:04What the hell happened?
00:36:06Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:08Are you okay?
00:36:09Look at her go.
00:36:11Hollywood's finest.
00:36:13Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:15It's Daniel.
00:36:16He's a monster.
00:36:18He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:21Mommy!
00:36:22Dad came in here and started shouting at me.
00:36:24No.
00:36:25No, that's not true.
00:36:26If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:35Daniel.
00:36:36Is that true?
00:36:40Sabrina.
00:36:42Oh!
00:36:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:46I think one of them's broken.
00:36:49Sabrina?
00:36:50Honey?
00:36:51We need to help Preston.
00:36:54But Daniel.
00:36:58Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:06Mommy, please, we can't leave him.
00:37:15I, I have, I have to help Preston.
00:37:32Come on, Jackson.
00:37:36Daniel!
00:37:41I got you.
00:37:42Don't let me go!
00:37:44She's made her choice.
00:37:46There's no going back.
00:37:47We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:37:59Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:38:03Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:06I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:09There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:13Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:15In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:18If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:38:22I will make your life a living hell.
00:38:24Don't worry about it.
00:38:39Just drive.
00:38:40I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:56Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:38:58Seriously?
00:39:02Just lay down.
00:39:03I know.
00:39:04Why is he dead?
00:39:05Oh.
00:39:06I'm going to go call the doctor.
00:39:07Hey.
00:39:10What are you doing?
00:39:11I thought you were hurt.
00:39:12I think I'll pull through.
00:39:13Shh.
00:39:14So what are you doing?
00:39:22I don't know what I've always wanted to.
00:39:24Come on.
00:39:25I know you want this.
00:39:26I see the way you look at me.
00:39:28Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:39:32I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:34What am I doing?
00:39:45Daniel is still injured.
00:39:48He should be home.
00:39:51Sabrina?
00:39:52Preston, get off.
00:40:05What?
00:40:06Babe, we can finally come here.
00:40:08I said get off.
00:40:09What?
00:40:10I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:11No, forget about him.
00:40:13Look, I love Jackson, and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:40:18I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:40:22I mean, come on.
00:40:23Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:40:26Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:28What?
00:40:29Look, he's already moved on.
00:40:33No.
00:40:34No.
00:40:35What have I done?
00:40:37Where is he?
00:40:39What about me?
00:40:40You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:40:43I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:51Hello?
00:40:52Excuse me.
00:40:54Excuse me.
00:40:55Hi.
00:40:55Have you seen my husband?
00:40:58Please.
00:40:58He was the one bleeding out.
00:41:00I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:41:04He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:05Oh, no.
00:41:09Come on, Daniel.
00:41:10Where are you?
00:41:12I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:41:16Please try again later.
00:41:17What have I done?
00:41:29Come on, Daniel.
00:41:31Answer me.
00:41:37He's not gone.
00:41:39I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:50He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:53No.
00:41:57It's not possible.
00:41:59He will be back.
00:42:03No.
00:42:03Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:16Climb zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:18The waves all spousal support.
00:42:20No, no, he can't leave me.
00:42:24He can't do this to me.
00:42:25I won't sign off on him.
00:42:36No.
00:42:37All this time, he's going to leave me?
00:42:41It can't be.
00:42:59It's not us.
00:43:00Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:43:01My mom will look it over anyways.
00:43:04He loves me.
00:43:06He loves Jackson.
00:43:08He wouldn't just leave us.
00:43:10We're his family.
00:43:11After all these years, everything we've been through?
00:43:17I got you.
00:43:38Don't let me go.
00:43:39Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:47Daniel?
00:43:48No, it's Mom.
00:43:49Is everything okay?
00:43:50You sound panicked.
00:43:51Mom.
00:43:53Mom.
00:43:55Daniel.
00:43:56He just left us.
00:43:59Do you know where he is?
00:44:01We have to find him.
00:44:03We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:04We can check the hospital or the...
00:44:05Oh, honey.
00:44:06It's over.
00:44:08Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:10You knew?
00:44:11I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:14I'm hungry.
00:44:23I'm hungry.
00:44:24Dad!
00:44:25Breakfast should be ready by now.
00:44:28Jackson?
00:44:31I have something to tell you.
00:44:32Your dad.
00:44:38Your dad.
00:44:40He's left us.
00:44:42I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:44Yay!
00:44:45He's gone!
00:44:45He's gone!
00:44:47Why would you say that?
00:44:49He was so embarrassing.
00:44:50Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:44:52Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:53What did Preston say?
00:44:55He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets than raising a young man.
00:45:02He was so lame and boring.
00:45:04Now he's gone.
00:45:06Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:45:08He can be my new dad.
00:45:10Jackson!
00:45:11You have a dad.
00:45:13And he's cared for you for seven years.
00:45:15Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:17Hello?
00:45:24Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:26Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:45:28I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:30I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:45:32Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:36Was that done with your approval?
00:45:37No, but I'm not surprised.
00:45:40Flag his name.
00:45:41I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:45Jackson?
00:45:45I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:49Okay?
00:45:50He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:52Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:56And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:59What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:46:02Huh.
00:46:02It's despicable.
00:46:04I can't do this anymore.
00:46:07I cancel everything.
00:46:08The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:11I don't want to be seen.
00:46:13I can't pretend.
00:46:14I just want him back.
00:46:17Oh, honey.
00:46:19It's time to let him go.
00:46:21You don't love him anyway.
00:46:23And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:29What?
00:46:30How could you say something like that?
00:46:32Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:35He cares for me.
00:46:37He sees me.
00:46:38He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:42But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:46Daniel's my husband.
00:46:47And the father of my son.
00:46:49Yeah, some husband.
00:46:51Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:52Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended.
00:46:56Contract?
00:46:56Contract?
00:46:56What contract?
00:47:03What are you talking about?
00:47:05Forget it.
00:47:06Forget it.
00:47:07Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:09When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a trip.
00:47:15Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:17Please.
00:47:18I just want the truth.
00:47:20Mom.
00:47:20Fine.
00:47:23I will tell you the truth.
00:47:25But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:29I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:33But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:39When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:42I had to save you.
00:47:44She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:46You've always been there for her.
00:47:49From film school to now.
00:47:51I've seen it.
00:47:53She needs you.
00:47:54Stay.
00:47:56Marry her.
00:47:56Love her.
00:47:58So that she's never alone again.
00:48:06It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:10How could you do this to me?
00:48:12I wanted to protect you.
00:48:14You wanted to control me.
00:48:16All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:19Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:24You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:28Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:30He kept you together.
00:48:32Where?
00:48:33Where did he go?
00:48:35I know he told you where he went.
00:48:37Where is he?
00:48:38You can do better than him.
00:48:40You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:44And believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:46No!
00:48:47He can't be gone!
00:48:48He can't!
00:48:49Yes!
00:48:50He is gone, and he is gone forever.
00:48:53He can't be!
00:48:54He can't be gone!
00:48:55He can't!
00:48:56He can't!
00:48:56I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of Howe, the Tame of Silver Fox, that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:23Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:31Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:35What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:37Um, honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own schtieht.
00:49:41Nobody told me how.
00:49:43Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:46I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:48Uh, yeah, um, god, my career has been a long time in the making, and I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:49:55I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:56But, London, London lit the fire under me, and I feel like I've found my voice, and it really is full steam ahead.
00:50:05Speaking of London, since you're an American writer's director, will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:12Hollywood.
00:50:14Get out of the country.
00:50:15If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life a living hell.
00:50:26Daniel?
00:50:26He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:44Daniel is a true auteur, and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:50That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:59Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:51:03We'll never tell.
00:51:07Oh my god, thanks for saving me, Emily.
00:51:10She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:51:12I know, jeez.
00:51:13This is so surreal. I mean, I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:51:16I can.
00:51:17The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:22Daniel, enjoy this.
00:51:26And get used to compliments.
00:51:28There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:30Fuck.
00:51:31Finish me, I know.
00:51:32I feel like I'm drinking.
00:51:35You okay?
00:51:37You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:39I know, it's, um, we'll have it.
00:51:42Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:51:45Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:59I know.
00:52:01Our press is good press.
00:52:02Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning
00:52:12bitch?
00:52:14He can't do this to me!
00:52:17Sabrina.
00:52:18You don't need him.
00:52:19Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:21How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:24Move on?
00:52:25Please, honey.
00:52:27He is using her.
00:52:29Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:32He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:34How could you say that?
00:52:36I mean, any, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:39He's proving that to the whole world!
00:52:42Don't you see it?
00:52:43Sabrina.
00:52:44Look at what you've got.
00:52:46A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:52:51Well, when he's not whining.
00:52:53And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:55You're dream man.
00:52:57You have everything.
00:52:59I don't have him.
00:53:01Mom, I'm hungry.
00:53:03Go have the chef make something.
00:53:04No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:53:08Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:53:10Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:12He's your dad.
00:53:13No!
00:53:13Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:15Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:19It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:21When did he get so cruel?
00:53:23You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:26A doormat.
00:53:29Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:30Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:32Enough!
00:53:33You little shit!
00:53:36Enough!
00:53:37Just enough!
00:53:38Sabrina?
00:53:39What's gotten into you?
00:53:41Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:45Whoa.
00:53:45What's going on here?
00:53:47This room feels really tense.
00:53:49Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:51I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:53No!
00:53:53I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:56And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:53:59It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:54:06Hey, man.
00:54:07Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:11Really?
00:54:12Loser?
00:54:13Yeah.
00:54:13You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:17And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:21That's really, really low.
00:54:28Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year?
00:54:33Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:54:35To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:38Face it, Preston.
00:54:40You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:43And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:45Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:47You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:50I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:53Because you know what?
00:54:54Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:55It's not like that, okay?
00:54:57Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:55:00I want to marry you.
00:55:02We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:55:04What's my birthday?
00:55:06Huh?
00:55:06What kind of flowers do I like?
00:55:08What's my favorite color?
00:55:10My favorite song?
00:55:11Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:13Oh, oh, wait.
00:55:15What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:17You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:19You don't love me.
00:55:20You don't even know me.
00:55:22This isn't a relationship.
00:55:24This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:27And you know what?
00:55:28I'm done.
00:55:29Get out.
00:55:30I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:34We're over.
00:55:36What?
00:55:36No, babe, babe, come on.
00:55:37Please, please, I love you.
00:55:39Just, just think about it.
00:55:40Look at the press.
00:55:41What does it look like?
00:55:43If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:47Get out.
00:55:48Hey, just...
00:55:48Now.
00:55:49Just give me your hand.
00:55:50Come on.
00:55:51No.
00:55:51I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:55Nobody sees the real me.
00:55:56I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:58I see all of you.
00:56:01And you're never going to be alone again.
00:56:04He truly knew me.
00:56:07He loved me.
00:56:09Every flaw.
00:56:11Every fear.
00:56:12Contract or not.
00:56:14He truly loved me.
00:56:16I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:18Saved me?
00:56:19I mean, you don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:23Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:25And he saved me from you.
00:56:28Security!
00:56:31Security!
00:56:31Come on, just let's talk about this.
00:56:33No.
00:56:34Come on.
00:56:35Celeste, do something.
00:56:37Sabrina!
00:56:38Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:40Was that really necessary?
00:56:42I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:56:44and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:46Is that all you care about?
00:56:48The fame, the headlines, the brand deals?
00:56:52God!
00:56:52You're supposed to be my mother first,
00:56:55not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:57Sabrina, you are being dramatic.
00:57:00Of course I care about you.
00:57:02I love you.
00:57:04Then prove it.
00:57:06If you ever want me in front of a camera again,
00:57:08then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:12You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:57:24I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:27In film school, we were literally told
00:57:29to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:32I mean, you know this.
00:57:34You're a legend.
00:57:35I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:37All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:38You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:41I appreciate the compliment,
00:57:42but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:57:43I got projects.
00:57:44Come on!
00:57:45You're built for billion-dollar franchises,
00:57:47Hollywood blockbusters,
00:57:48the one that gets made in L.A., not London.
00:57:50That's where you belong.
00:57:53To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:57:55It didn't really end well.
00:57:57Let me guess.
00:57:57My girl?
00:57:59If by a girl,
00:58:00he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:03You don't walk away from a gift like yours
00:58:05over some heartbreak.
00:58:07You can become a household name,
00:58:08and I can get you there.
00:58:11You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:58:12Three-picture deal.
00:58:13$200 million budget each.
00:58:15Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:17I don't know what to say.
00:58:18Just say yes.
00:58:19You have my number.
00:58:21Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:23Just remember, Daniel,
00:58:24you can't run away from the past.
00:58:26You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:28Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:42Can we talk?
00:58:44Daniel, can you give us a hint
00:58:46about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:48Of course.
00:58:49It's about a man who gets fucked over
00:58:51by America's sweetheart
00:58:52and comes out on top.
00:58:54Is this a personal story?
00:58:56Will we get a hint at
00:58:57who the mystery woman is?
00:58:59Oh.
00:59:01She knows who she is.
00:59:03Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:07You arrogant little shit.
00:59:10I told you if you ever set foot
00:59:12in this fucking country,
00:59:13I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:19It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:21I need a favor.
00:59:22I need you to track down Daniel Johnson
00:59:24and find out where he'll be
00:59:25around 8 o'clock tonight.
00:59:28It's time for a little reunion
00:59:30with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:33Mom?
00:59:33What are you doing?
00:59:38Did you just break my TV?
00:59:40Can you give us a name
00:59:41for your upcoming film?
00:59:43You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:45You've been so kind, though.
00:59:46Um, it's called
00:59:47You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:49He's back.
00:59:54Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:56Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:58I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:00:01I need to get on that movie.
01:00:03Absolutely not.
01:00:04You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:00:06If you don't get me an audition,
01:00:08then I will get a manager who will.
01:00:09Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:11He still loves me.
01:00:14He has to.
01:00:17I just need to talk to him.
01:00:19Let him go.
01:00:23Mom.
01:00:24Honey, I...
01:00:26You know I just want
01:00:28what's best for you, right?
01:00:30I just don't want to see
01:00:31my little girl hurt again.
01:00:34I love you.
01:00:36I love you, too.
01:00:40There you go.
01:00:43This is, um...
01:00:44It's another movie deal.
01:00:46I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:47Okay.
01:01:00Did you get his location?
01:01:04The Oaks.
01:01:058 p.m.
01:01:07After I'm done with him,
01:01:09Daniel Johnson won't just be
01:01:10blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:12He'll be erased from
01:01:13Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:23She's not protecting me.
01:01:25She's protecting her business.
01:01:27And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:28But if she wants a scandal,
01:01:31she'll get one.
01:01:33So nice having you back.
01:01:36And I don't just mean
01:01:37from the UK.
01:01:38Yeah, it's been a rough
01:01:39couple years, hasn't it?
01:01:40Couple?
01:01:42Daniel, it was ten years
01:01:43of you slaving away
01:01:44for those people.
01:01:45If you can even call them that.
01:01:47But you're healthy now.
01:01:48And I'm at the top
01:01:49of my career.
01:01:50I mean, yeah,
01:01:51there was a time
01:01:51that I loved Sabrina,
01:01:53but I really thought
01:01:54I could make it work.
01:01:55The marriage, the kids.
01:01:57I mean, we really tried
01:01:58I thought I could make it
01:02:00go for it, but
01:02:00it's over.
01:02:04It's over.
01:02:05I mean, let her chase
01:02:06whatever fantasy she thinks
01:02:07Preston Eastwood can offer.
01:02:08Oh, you haven't heard?
01:02:20She dumped him.
01:02:21It was all over People Magazine.
01:02:23She ended it
01:02:23when his star faded.
01:02:26Oh my God, what?
01:02:34Daniel!
01:02:34Stop!
01:02:45Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:47I'm here to help you.
01:02:49Sabrina,
01:02:50you're making a scene.
01:02:51Let's go home.
01:02:52Sabrina?
01:02:53How could you?
01:02:54What?
01:02:54I just came to ask Daniel
01:02:56if he'd let you audition,
01:02:57but he said no.
01:02:58I begged and pleaded.
01:03:00Stop lying.
01:03:01I saw you bribe the waiter
01:03:03to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:06And I'll bet you called
01:03:06the paparazzi too
01:03:08to catch him drugged
01:03:09out of his mind
01:03:10and ruin him.
01:03:11My God,
01:03:12you're disgusting.
01:03:13I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:15Not anymore.
01:03:16Why did you become
01:03:17such a conniving,
01:03:19scheming snake?
01:03:21I don't even know
01:03:22who you are anymore.
01:03:24I'm your mother.
01:03:25I only want
01:03:27what's best for you.
01:03:29What's best for me?
01:03:32You've been controlling
01:03:33my life ever since
01:03:34you knew you could
01:03:35profit from it.
01:03:37That all ends today.
01:03:41You're fired.
01:03:44Fired.
01:03:46No.
01:03:49No.
01:03:53No.
01:03:54You can't do this to me.
01:03:56Please, please, sweetie.
01:03:58I have dedicated
01:03:59my life to you.
01:04:00You dedicated your life
01:04:01to money and to fame.
01:04:04I was just who
01:04:05you used to get to it.
01:04:07You think you can survive
01:04:08on sheer talent?
01:04:10There's a thousand girls
01:04:11more talented than you
01:04:12waiting for their shot.
01:04:13I made you.
01:04:15You'd be nothing
01:04:15without me.
01:04:19I think she'll do
01:04:20just fine.
01:04:21I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:24We're done here, Mom.
01:04:29If you want any chance
01:04:31to be in Jackson's life
01:04:32or in mine,
01:04:34you'll leave now.
01:04:36Without another word.
01:04:38I have something to say.
01:04:52I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:55I'm sorry I took you for granted
01:04:56all of those years.
01:04:58I'm sorry I let my mom
01:05:00manipulate and use you.
01:05:02I'm sorry I brought
01:05:04Preston into our home
01:05:06and poisoned our son
01:05:08towards you.
01:05:12Apologize to your father.
01:05:14Do I have to?
01:05:15Who raised you?
01:05:18Cared for you?
01:05:20Packed your lunches
01:05:22when I was on set?
01:05:24Laid with you
01:05:24when you had nightmares
01:05:25and coddled you
01:05:26when you were sick?
01:05:28He did.
01:05:29He loved you.
01:05:30But you treated him
01:05:31like he was nothing.
01:05:32I was wrong.
01:05:34Jackson,
01:05:35he gave us 10 years
01:05:36of his life
01:05:37and we abused it.
01:05:39And now there is
01:05:40nothing we can do
01:05:41to take that back.
01:05:43I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:47It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:49It's going to be okay.
01:05:50I love you.
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:52Come on, Jackson.
01:05:53Let's go.
01:05:54Let's go.
01:05:54Let's go.
01:05:54Let's go.
01:05:58Let's go.
01:05:59Let's go.
01:06:00Let's go.
01:06:00I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:03For everything.
01:06:13I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:15You're thinking of
01:06:16going back to them.
01:06:17No.
01:06:20I just didn't know
01:06:21it'd be this hard.
01:06:22They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:24They tore you to pieces
01:06:27and then just expected
01:06:28you to come running back.
01:06:32People can change,
01:06:34but that doesn't change
01:06:36the past.
01:06:40And the Oscar goes to
01:06:41Daniel Johnson
01:06:43for his original screenplay,
01:06:45Loving Her.
01:06:45Daniel, Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.
01:06:49Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.
01:06:50Come here, Daniel.
01:06:51Daniel, is it true
01:06:52that the script that won you
01:06:53Oscars for both writing
01:06:54and directing sat on a shelf
01:06:55for 10 years?
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:57I'll admit I got a little
01:06:58sidelined, but
01:06:59I think I found my way back.
01:07:03But, okay,
01:07:04I'll tell you this.
01:07:04I don't think you can truly
01:07:08love someone else
01:07:09until
01:07:10you love yourself.
01:07:16Way to go, Jan!
01:07:34Thank you so much
01:07:36for considering me
01:07:36for this part.
01:07:38We'll keep in touch.

01:09:03Playing the part.
01:09:05British starlet.

01:09:08I kept waiting for us
01:09:10to become something real.
01:09:13Waiting for us
01:09:14to become something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry, Halloween.

01:09:19and we'll call it even.
01:09:21You...
01:09:21You were amazing,
01:09:22as always.
01:09:24It's just...
01:09:25It's just not quite

01:09:32Anyways...
01:09:33Got a few more auditions
01:09:35while I'm in town.

01:09:56with the sugar.
