00:00:00And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:08That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:11Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:15Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf
00:00:20for 10 years?
00:00:21Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I found my way
00:00:26back.
00:00:27I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:34Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:39You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:45Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:49If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing. The mansion, the money, even your own
00:00:55son will belong to her.
00:00:58I'll always love my son. But he's a bully and he learned it from the best in the business. His
00:01:03grandmother.
00:01:04You used to worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:07That was a long time ago.
00:01:09America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide. All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:15But her career is hanging by a thread. I need to get those paparazzi off her back. You've always loved
00:01:23her, Daniel. I've seen it. She needs that now. Stay. Marry her. Love her. So that she doesn't face the
00:01:33world alone.
00:01:33I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last. And I'd cherish her like no
00:01:39other man would.
00:01:41If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to
00:01:47her. This was the last one.
00:01:51Mom, Daniel. What's going on? What's going on? Honey. I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like
00:02:04a bum. If the paparazzi catch him next to you, ugh. But I need to go. I have an appointment
00:02:10with your stylist. Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:17Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts. Then I will be free.
00:02:24Sabrina, we need to talk. Ugh. Can it wait? I'm seriously so spent. I had the photo shoot and fitting
00:02:32and cocktails with girls.
00:02:34I saw Preston was there. I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college. I mean,
00:02:40we owe him.
00:02:41Yeah. And then he cheated on you. And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:46I'm starving. When are we eating? Lunch is on the stove. But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:02:53No! I want to eat now!
00:03:05You always know the spot. He doesn't listen. Daniel, please. I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs
00:03:13at that god-awful Fanity Fair shoot.
00:03:17I got something I need to tell you. I'll make it quick. This isn't easy, but I-
00:03:22Ew! What is this?
00:03:24It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:26I don't want healthy food! I want chicken nuggets! Chicken nuggets, chicken nuggets!
00:03:31You can't have that every day. It's not healthy for you.
00:03:34But I want them!
00:03:35Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:39You suck! I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:50I waited. I gave it everything I had. But it takes two to make a marriage work. And my self
00:03:58-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me. Enough. Just enough.
00:04:09I want a divorce. I want a divorce.
00:04:18Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:20Huh?
00:04:23I want a di-
00:04:26I want chicken nuggets! Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:29Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:33Now go upstairs, get cleaned up. We'll get you some real food.
00:04:42Seriously. Your only job is to take care of the house and the family. I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:48What is this? Another contract? How big is the role? Who's directing?
00:04:55It's not a-
00:04:56Whatever. My mom will look over it anyways.
00:04:58Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:01Honestly, I am really at my capacity. I have that red carpet event coming up and I really need you
00:05:08to pull your weight.
00:05:09Pull my weight?
00:05:10Yeah, you get it. Love you.
00:05:15I've devoted myself to this family for ten long years. If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:22Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:32The movie's greenlit and the studio wants you to direct. We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:36I can't. My wife needs me here in LA. After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all
00:05:46pushed aside.
00:05:48At least there is one good thing to come from this. I was able to use the money Celeste gave
00:05:53me to save my mother's life.
00:05:55Hey mom, how you doing?
00:05:56Oh, good dear. I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:02Do you need more?
00:06:03No, no, no, no. You've already done so much.
00:06:06I'm just trying to help.
00:06:07I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:12I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:19I am, mom. And I promise, very soon, everything's gonna change.
00:06:29That's wonderful, dear. You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:33Everyone, come quick, come quick!
00:06:35I gotta go. Love you.
00:06:39What is it, mom?
00:06:41Someone very special decided to pay us a visit. Our favorite leading man.
00:06:52Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart and is stealing it back again.
00:06:59Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:09Alright, cut! That's a wrap, everyone. Thank you!
00:07:13We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:16Sabrina was a rising star.
00:07:18I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:22Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:26If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:59You destroyed me, Preston.
00:08:03There's nothing left.
00:08:17Sabrina, don't!
00:08:20Stay back.
00:08:22I mean it.
00:08:23Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:27Just...
00:08:29Just give me your hand.
00:08:42No!
00:08:45Daniel!
00:08:46I got you.
00:08:48No! Don't let me go!
00:08:50I won't ever let you go.
00:08:57I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:00Nobody sees the real me.
00:09:02I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:04I see all of you.
00:09:06And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:16Good to see ya!
00:09:17Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:19Oh, too long.
00:09:20What's you?
00:09:21Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:25Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:26Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit. Are you kidding?
00:09:28Oh, Daniel, uh, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:32Oh, there he is!
00:09:34The assistant!
00:09:35I'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!
00:09:45I 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.
00:09:54Daniel!
00:09:55Oh.
00:09:55Don't embarrass me.
00:09:56No, it's fine.
00:09:57Whoa, you?
00:09:59Played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:02He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough, you think, you know?
00:10:06My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:08He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:10Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:13What do you say, huh?
00:10:15Yeah.
00:10:16Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:20It's fine.
00:10:21It's fine.
00:10:22Just relax, okay?
00:10:24Be nice.
00:10:33Some people never change.
00:10:35But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart again.
00:10:42Yeah, it's nice.
00:10:43But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on this hill.
00:10:53Oh, careful.
00:10:55You all right?
00:10:58I'm still starving.
00:11:00Make me some food.
00:11:01Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:04Stew?
00:11:06Ew.
00:11:06What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:08I told you a hundred times, I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:11Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:14I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:17Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:21What?
00:11:22For real?
00:11:23Yeah.
00:11:24My makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:27Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:29I'm rich.
00:11:30Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:34I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:11:38See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:11:40You're so caught up on the morals.
00:11:42You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:11:43They were so dull.
00:11:45Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:11:48Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:11:52So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:11:56My treat.
00:11:58Here we go.
00:11:59What?
00:11:59Yeah.
00:12:00Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:02I don't mind.
00:12:02All of you insist.
00:12:04I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:06Okay.
00:12:07Okay.
00:12:09Oh, and I would invite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut, so.
00:12:14Anyways.
00:12:14Come on, Ben.
00:12:15Let's go.
00:12:17Looks great.
00:12:18Gotcha.
00:12:18There we go.
00:12:19Oh.
00:12:21There's Paps.
00:12:23You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:25Last time.
00:12:26I promise.
00:12:29You're right.
00:12:30It is the last time.
00:12:33You guys?
00:12:35Hi.
00:12:37Jackson.
00:12:43Well, did you use your brain, or are you following through on the divorce?
00:12:47Contract's fine.
00:12:50It's over.
00:12:51Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:12:55I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:12:59After 10 years of heartbreak, I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:01What?
00:13:19Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:21She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:27Sabrina Donovan.
00:13:28I could scream.
00:13:29I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:31Preston Eastwood.
00:13:32I haven't seen the two of you together since Breaking the Ice.
00:13:35Oh, gee.
00:13:36I used to always replay that scene where you guys kissed at the hockey rink.
00:13:38A scene that I wrote.
00:13:40Uncredited, of course.
00:13:41Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:13:43Wait.
00:13:44Are you two dating?
00:13:45Oh, well, actually.
00:13:47This is totally a date.
00:13:48All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:13:56Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:13:59You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:01Your brand?
00:14:02It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:04You get it, right?
00:14:14So, you two are a thing?
00:14:16Well, I...
00:14:17It's okay, babe.
00:14:18We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:28This is so going viral.
00:14:30I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:31It looks like more than dating.
00:14:34Is this your son?
00:14:35I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:38Don't be silly.
00:14:39You have a dad and he's a sissy.
00:14:41That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:43He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:47But Preston is awesome.
00:14:49He's an action spy.
00:14:51I wish he was my dad.
00:14:54My own son doesn't respect me.
00:14:57But we'll see if Preston's the type of dad he wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:15:01after party with a call girl.
00:15:03It's okay, buddy.
00:15:03Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:06If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:09That is if Mom's cool with it.
00:15:11Oh, Preston, I don't know.
00:15:13Daniel, he, you know, he's...
00:15:15Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:19Come on.
00:15:19Let's get Michelle.
00:15:36Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:15:41I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:15:43Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:15:50Daniel!
00:15:51You know, it's probably for the best.
00:15:53I'm the sound of it.
00:15:55Your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:15:58Daniel, he's here?
00:15:59He...
00:15:59Did he see us?
00:16:00Is he looking over here?
00:16:02Oh, fuck.
00:16:02That's not good.
00:16:03I was just doing that for Felicity.
00:16:04I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:06Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:08Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:11Who cares about him, Mommy?
00:16:13Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:15Jackson, enough.
00:16:18What do I do?
00:16:19Well, that's it then.
00:16:22Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:23I need to leverage her relationship with Preston, with the tabloids.
00:16:27I'm sure you'll spin the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:30You're really good at that.
00:16:31Ooh!
00:16:32I have a parting gift for you.
00:16:35A one-way ticket.
00:16:37So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:16:41I know the contract is over.
00:16:43But if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:16:46I will come after you with everything I got.
00:16:49Daniel loves me. He has to understand.
00:16:51This is Hollywood. It's just part of the job.
00:16:55Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:02Daniel, what is this?
00:17:05I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:07All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:10Are you going somewhere?
00:17:13Honey!
00:17:14Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:16We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:19Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:21A vacation?
00:17:21Finally. You're paying attention.
00:17:24Yeah.
00:17:25I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:17:27Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:17:29What are we supposed to do without you?
00:17:31Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:17:32That's not what I meant.
00:17:34Whoa!
00:17:34Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:17:37It's fine.
00:17:38Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:17:41Just like any good husband would.
00:17:42Okay.
00:17:43I see.
00:17:44Is it me?
00:17:45Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:17:47I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:17:50I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:17:52You know what?
00:17:53Maybe I should go.
00:17:54I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:17:55No, please stay.
00:17:56I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:00No, you know what?
00:18:01I'll go.
00:18:03And clearly she wants you.
00:18:04I'm willing to dance to his tune.
00:18:06Daniel, wait.
00:18:08I won't ever let you go.
00:18:09He won't leave.
00:18:11He promised.
00:18:12It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:15We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:18I'm gonna go back.
00:18:22Daniel!
00:18:25Oh, please.
00:18:26Better than yours.
00:18:28Yeah.
00:18:29Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:18:32Oh!
00:18:33Oh, good.
00:18:34You're up.
00:18:36Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:18:41It's fun.
00:18:43What?
00:18:43Don't look at me like that.
00:18:44I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:18:47Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:18:51How lucky for him.
00:18:53He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:18:56Oh, Daniel.
00:18:57Whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:00Listen, Matt.
00:19:02I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:05Come in.
00:19:06You can trust me.
00:19:08Preston, I think you're...
00:19:10Mmm.
00:19:11You need to go right now.
00:19:12Alright.
00:19:15Daniel, seriously.
00:19:16Listen, man.
00:19:18When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:23I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:19:27Just ignore him.
00:19:28He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:19:29No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:19:33Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:19:35Jealous?
00:19:37My God, you still don't get it, do you?
00:19:40Whatever, I'm going to bed.
00:19:45You know, I don't think I should be alone.
00:19:51What?
00:19:52That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final wedge between her and the house husband.
00:19:57Daniel, can Preston sleep in here tonight so I can look after him?
00:20:03My God.
00:20:04God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:09Are you really going to ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:13No, it's not like that.
00:20:15I...
00:20:16What?
00:20:18You know what, fine.
00:20:21You two look great together.
00:20:26Daniel, I...
00:20:36And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:20:44Um...
00:20:47I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:20:52Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:20:56I was never the homemaker.
00:21:01Please, Daniel.
00:21:14I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:21If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:21:25I have a press junket tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:21:39Look at her now.
00:21:41Playing house for another man.
00:21:43If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:04There he is.
00:22:05God, I wish I could sleep in till 8 a.m.
00:22:08Man, man.
00:22:08No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:11Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:14Hmm.
00:22:15Got some.
00:22:17Yeah.
00:22:18What do you need?
00:22:19Oh, oh.
00:22:19Yeah, there you go.
00:22:21I'd offer you some of this shit, but I doubt you'd like it.
00:22:24Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:26Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:22:32Hey, uh...
00:22:33You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of you last night, right?
00:22:37You're not?
00:22:38A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:22:41Why would I be threatened by that?
00:22:45What?
00:22:46It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:22:59What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:01Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:02I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:05And it's unfair!
00:23:07That's a shame, huh?
00:23:08You know what?
00:23:08Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:10Here we go.
00:23:11Ooh.
00:23:13No, it's not to play with that.
00:23:17You never let me do anything!
00:23:20Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:23You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:25It's not about the money.
00:23:26It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:23:29Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:23:33Yeah?
00:23:33What's that supposed to mean?
00:23:35You're so annoying!
00:23:38Don't push.
00:23:44I said don't push.
00:23:46Go get a book or something.
00:23:47Dude, why don't you get your hands off him?
00:23:49He's a Donovan, not some pathetic manservant like you.
00:23:52God, what the hell is you just showing me?
00:23:56Call it a lesson.
00:23:58I'm teaching the kid to go after what he wants.
00:23:59He's not your kid.
00:24:01I wish I was!
00:24:02I hope Mom buries him so you can be gone forever!
00:24:05I hate seeing your stupid face!
00:24:08Ouch!
00:24:08I mean, you just heard your son.
00:24:11So why don't you make this little vacay of yours?
00:24:13Maybe it will be.
00:24:14But until then, I'm still the man of the house.
00:24:18You?
00:24:19Man of the house, please.
00:24:21You're a pussy in an apron.
00:24:23I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid, much less a dad or a husband.
00:24:26And you're a washed up pack!
00:24:28Still riding on all your old headlines.
00:24:30How were your latest box office numbers, huh?
00:24:32I heard your agent's begging for scraps.
00:24:34I'm a fucking star!
00:24:36A star?
00:24:37A star that needs his ex to bring him back into the spotlight.
00:24:41Jackson, come on.
00:24:42I don't want you hanging around this clown anymore.
00:24:43No, I'm not going!
00:24:45Preston's way cooler than you!
00:24:47Preston!
00:24:48Preston!
00:24:49Preston!
00:25:12You know, there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood.
00:25:15What was that?
00:25:23Daniel!
00:25:24What is happening?
00:25:26It was Dad, Mom!
00:25:27Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood!
00:25:29What?
00:25:30You're so scared!
00:25:30You got me pretty good, babe.
00:25:32What the hell, Daniel?
00:25:34I just wanted to hang out with Jackson.
00:25:35I came in looking for a fight.
00:25:36What?
00:25:37I didn't?
00:25:38Daniel, what the hell is wrong with you?
00:25:40You're acting like a jealous child!
00:25:42I thought you were bigger than this petty shit!
00:25:44He threw a fish tank at me!
00:25:45It's just a fucking fish tank!
00:25:47Grow up!
00:25:48Remember what happened?
00:25:48You were in the public eye?
00:25:50What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:25:52What?
00:25:53Everyone knows you precious Preston attacked me?
00:25:57Maybe I should go while I'm sorry.
00:25:59No!
00:25:59Oh my God!
00:26:01He's lying!
00:26:03You're a monster!
00:26:05And in front of your son?
00:26:07You have to be kidding!
00:26:08We have to get you to the hospital.
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:11We'll talk about this when I get home.
00:26:14Come on.
00:26:15Clean this up!
00:26:18Soon you won't be coming home to me ever again.
00:26:22She's mine now, loser.
00:26:33Hello, 9-1-1. What's your emergency?
00:26:35I'm bleeding out.
00:26:37I think I hit an artery.
00:26:38I need an ambulance now.
00:26:40Now.
00:26:50You did lose a lot of blood.
00:26:52So we're gonna have to keep you here overnight
00:26:53to pump you with liquids.
00:26:56To be honest, that's...
00:26:57I could use a break from home.
00:26:59Trouble with the missus?
00:27:03Uh...
00:27:03Yeah.
00:27:04Pretty obvious.
00:27:05Most married folks that come in here are miserable.
00:27:08I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here.
00:27:13With Preston Eastwood.
00:27:16True love story.
00:27:17Holding hands.
00:27:18Wiping tears.
00:27:19I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice.
00:27:23You said, um, couple?
00:27:25I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official.
00:27:30She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted.
00:27:34She was so sweet.
00:27:40You need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:27:42No, it's...
00:27:44It's an old wound.
00:27:47I tore it actually, um, ten years ago.
00:27:50Daniel!
00:27:52Sweet and caring.
00:27:55So Preston's found the Wi-Fi I always wanted.
00:27:58He only had to break her heart to get it.
00:28:00And left me to pick up the pieces.
00:28:07Fuck.
00:28:10Let me go get my shit in y'all.
00:28:13Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me.
00:28:15You once liked my short film.
00:28:16I have a script I've been sitting on.
00:28:26It needs the right producer.
00:28:28I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it.
00:28:33Where have you been?
00:28:34I kept calling.
00:28:36I started to feel like one of my stalkers.
00:28:39Huh?
00:28:43What? I've been busy.
00:28:44Anyways, I thought you were busy entertaining Preston.
00:28:48Seriously?
00:28:48Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:28:51I told you.
00:28:52He's just a friend.
00:28:54Yeah.
00:28:56That's what you want to call it?
00:28:58I... I just...
00:29:00I'm sorry.
00:29:02I...
00:29:02Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing a line.
00:29:09It is what it is.
00:29:12But I mean, you know how the industry works.
00:29:15You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity.
00:29:20And I think you should go for it.
00:29:21I mean, you always do what's best for your career.
00:29:25But...
00:29:25I just...
00:29:26I don't want you to be upset with me.
00:29:31Seriously.
00:29:33I... I care about you.
00:29:38I'm no man.
00:29:41I've known you for 14 years.
00:29:42I know when you're angry.
00:29:44Really? I didn't think you paid attention.
00:29:47I pay attention?
00:29:49Since when do I not pay attention?
00:29:51She signed the papers without reading them.
00:29:54That's all this marriage ever was to her.
00:29:56A headline.
00:29:57A performance.
00:30:00Sabrina.
00:30:04Sabrina, I'm good.
00:30:05You know what?
00:30:06I hate fighting.
00:30:08So, let's just forget about this, okay?
00:30:10I was thinking we could revisit your script.
00:30:17I gave that to you three years ago.
00:30:19You telling me you finally read it?
00:30:22Well, yeah.
00:30:23The first ten pages, but they're good.
00:30:26The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into.
00:30:29I mean, we have to do this.
00:30:30Me and you.
00:30:32The lead actress and the writer-director.
00:30:36I gave up on that dream of us working together.
00:30:40A long time ago.
00:30:42Well, how about you make us some lattes,
00:30:44and for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script.
00:30:48Just like we used to in film school.
00:30:51There was a time when this would have worked on me.
00:30:54I would have melted in her hands.
00:30:57Now I just want to pack and get out of here.
00:31:00What?
00:31:15I don't know what you do, but I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone, and
00:31:19it was awful.
00:31:22Well, I've had a lot of experience making it for you, and I'll be sure to tell him how you
00:31:25like it.
00:31:26That's not what I meant.
00:31:29I like it when you make it.
00:31:32I'm not going to always be here to make it.
00:31:36I knew it.
00:31:38You are mad that I brought Preston back here.
00:31:40I told you it was just a publicity stunt.
00:31:44God, it's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair.
00:31:49Married people are fucking boring.
00:31:52It's good to know where you stand.
00:31:54No, Daniel.
00:31:56No, that's not what I meant.
00:32:02Look what you made me do.
00:32:04Just leave it.
00:32:08I thought you would appreciate that I read your script.
00:32:12And what?
00:32:13It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:32:15I'm just trying to do something nice.
00:32:17And look what I get for it.
00:32:19You know what?
00:32:20Forget it.
00:32:21I have a premiere.
00:32:22We'll just talk about this tomorrow.
00:32:38What?
00:32:39Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:32:41Yeah.
00:32:42Ex-mother-in-law.
00:32:43Not quite.
00:32:44That was the divorce contract.
00:32:45But if you want a clean break, we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's NDA.
00:32:50This is showbiz, baby.
00:32:52Remember that.
00:32:53I'll text you the address of where to meet me.
00:33:04I heard she was sneaking Preston Eastwood into her trailer on set.
00:33:10Oh, please.
00:33:11She's always been so secretive.
00:33:13I mean, this is her movie premiere and where is her husband?
00:33:15Maybe she's embarrassed by him.
00:33:18I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant.
00:33:24Oh, oh.
00:33:25If we want the tea, let's get it from the pot.
00:33:28Come here.
00:33:29Oh.
00:33:32Jackson!
00:33:33We were just talking about your mom.
00:33:35Do you know where she is?
00:33:37Or who she's with?
00:33:39She's with Mr. Eastwood.
00:33:40He's been staying with us.
00:33:41Oh.
00:33:43Really?
00:33:44Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:33:47Oh, I hope so.
00:33:48I really hope so.
00:33:49He's way cooler than my old, boring real dad.
00:33:53Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad.
00:33:56Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid.
00:34:05What are you doing here?
00:34:07You never come to these things.
00:34:09Oh, that's gotta be the husband.
00:34:12Get lost!
00:34:13You embarrass us!
00:34:14Jackson, do not talk to me like that.
00:34:16I'm your father.
00:34:17I wish you never were my dad!
00:34:22Is there a problem?
00:34:28Oh, my God.
00:34:29That's Preston Eastwood.
00:34:30How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:34:33If there was a problem, that's none of your business.
00:34:37I wish Preston was my dad.
00:34:38You're a pathetic loser!
00:34:40Zip it, Jackson.
00:34:41You should probably listen to your kid and head out because we're starting to make a scene.
00:34:47I'm just here to talk to Celeste.
00:34:48That's not what I see.
00:34:49You showed up uninvited, in street rags, abused Sabrina's kid and pit a fight with an A-lister.
00:34:58That's the kind of story the press would devour.
00:35:02Doesn't take much to be cancelled these days.
00:35:04And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass.
00:35:09This was all a stunt, wasn't it?
00:35:11You were revolting.
00:35:13No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did.
00:35:15Hey.
00:35:17Why don't you watch your mouth?
00:35:19Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world.
00:35:22Yeah.
00:35:23Maybe I should teach him a lesson.
00:35:25Oh, yeah?
00:35:26What lesson's that, Preston?
00:35:27You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on so that you can leech off her career?
00:35:31Hmm.
00:35:35Oh!
00:35:53What the hell?
00:35:55What happened?
00:35:57Oh my god, Daniel!
00:35:59What the hell happened?
00:36:00Daniel, you're bleeding.
00:36:02Are you okay?
00:36:04Look at her go.
00:36:05Hollywood's finest.
00:36:07Always performing when there's an audience.
00:36:10It's Daniel.
00:36:11He's a monster.
00:36:12He found out about your premiere and crashed the party.
00:36:15Mommy!
00:36:16Dad came in here and started shouting at me!
00:36:19No.
00:36:20No, that's not true.
00:36:21If Preston weren't here, Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters.
00:36:26Can you imagine the allegations?
00:36:30Daniel.
00:36:31Is that true?
00:36:35Sabrina.
00:36:37Oh!
00:36:38Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs.
00:36:41I think one of them is broken.
00:36:43Sabrina.
00:36:44Honey.
00:36:45We need to help Preston.
00:36:49But Daniel.
00:36:53Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood.
00:37:06Mommy, please!
00:37:07We can't leave him!
00:37:09I...
00:37:10I have...
00:37:11I have to help Preston.
00:37:20I have to help Preston.
00:37:26Come on, Jackson.
00:37:33Daniel!
00:37:35I got you.
00:37:36Don't let me go!
00:37:38She's made her choice.
00:37:40There's no going back.
00:37:41We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to after all these years of me slaving
00:37:47for her.
00:37:54Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:37:58Now we can make a clean break.
00:38:00I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:38:02There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:38:07Get out of Hollywood.
00:38:09In fact, get out of the country.
00:38:12If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid, I will make your life
00:38:17a living hell.
00:38:32Don't worry about it.
00:38:34Just drive.
00:38:47I used to ache for her approval.
00:38:50Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:38:54Seriously?
00:38:55Just lay down.
00:38:57I know.
00:38:57What's he doing?
00:38:59I'm gonna go call the doctor, okay?
00:39:04What are you doing?
00:39:05I thought you were hurt.
00:39:06I think I'll pull through.
00:39:14Russell, what are you doing?
00:39:16What I've always wanted to.
00:39:18Come on.
00:39:19I know you want this.
00:39:20I see the way you look at me.
00:39:22Now that Daniel's gone, we have the house to ourself.
00:39:24I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:39:37What am I doing?
00:39:39Daniel is still injured.
00:39:41He should be home.
00:39:45Sabrina?
00:39:56Preston, get off.
00:39:58What?
00:39:59Babe, we can finally.
00:40:00Come on.
00:40:01I said get off.
00:40:02What?
00:40:03I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:40:05No, forget about him.
00:40:06Look, I love Jackson and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:40:12I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:40:15I mean, come on.
00:40:16Sabrina, your son.
00:40:18Your mother.
00:40:19Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:40:22Look.
00:40:23He's already moved on.
00:40:26No.
00:40:28No.
00:40:29What have I done?
00:40:30Where is he?
00:40:32What about me?
00:40:33You had a chance ten years ago.
00:40:36I need to go take care of my husband.
00:40:44Hello?
00:40:45Excuse me.
00:40:47Excuse me.
00:40:48Hi.
00:40:48Have you seen my husband?
00:40:51Please.
00:40:51He was someone bleeding out.
00:40:53I saw him stumble outside holding his head after he spoke to some older woman.
00:40:57He didn't come back in, though.
00:41:01Oh, no.
00:41:02Daniel, where are you?
00:41:04I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach is no longer in service.
00:41:09Please try again later.
00:41:11What have I done?
00:41:22Come on, Daniel.
00:41:24Answer me.
00:41:30He's not gone.
00:41:32I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:41:42He loves me too much to abandon me when I need him the most.
00:41:47No.
00:41:50It's not possible.
00:41:52He will be back.
00:41:55No.
00:42:06Boy, it's all assets.
00:42:08Claims zero, Castillo, Jackson.
00:42:11The waves are all spousal support.
00:42:14No.
00:42:14No.
00:42:15He can't leave me.
00:42:16He can't do this to me.
00:42:18I won't sign off on him.
00:42:28No.
00:42:31No.
00:42:31All this time?
00:42:32He's gonna leave me?
00:42:48It can't be.
00:42:51It's not us.
00:42:52Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:42:54My mom will look it over anyways.
00:42:56He loves me.
00:42:58He loves Jackson.
00:43:00He wouldn't just leave us.
00:43:02We're his family.
00:43:04After all these years, everything we've been through.
00:43:29I got you.
00:43:30Don't let me go.
00:43:32Mom.
00:43:33Was I ever really paying attention?
00:43:39Daniel?
00:43:40No, it's Mom.
00:43:41Is everything okay?
00:43:42You sound panicked.
00:43:43Mom.
00:43:45Mom.
00:43:46Mom.
00:43:47Daniel.
00:43:48He just left us.
00:43:51Do you know where he is?
00:43:54We have to find him.
00:43:55We can check the hospital or the-
00:43:57Oh, honey.
00:43:59It's over.
00:44:00Daniel's not coming back.
00:44:02You knew?
00:44:04I'll come over in the morning and explain everything.
00:44:14I'm hungry!
00:44:16Dad!
00:44:17Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:44:20Jackson?
00:44:23I have something to tell you.
00:44:26Your dad?
00:44:29Your dad?
00:44:32He's left us.
00:44:34I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:44:36Yay! He's gone! He's gone!
00:44:39Why would you say that?
00:44:41He was so embarrassing!
00:44:42Even Mr. Eastwood-
00:44:44Mr. Eastwood?
00:44:45What did Preston say?
00:44:47He said a pathetic pussy like that should stick to scrubbing toilets then raising a young man.
00:44:54He was so lame and boring.
00:44:56Now he's gone!
00:44:58Mr. Eastwood is way cooler!
00:45:00He can be my new dad!
00:45:02Jackson!
00:45:03You have a dad!
00:45:04And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:45:06Yeah, but I hate him!
00:45:15Hello?
00:45:16Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:45:18Ms. Donovan?
00:45:19It's your accountant.
00:45:20I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:45:22I'm sorry.
00:45:23I don't have the time.
00:45:23Large sums have been wired to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:45:28Was that done with your approval?
00:45:29No.
00:45:30But I'm not surprised.
00:45:31Flag his name.
00:45:33I want him frozen and cut off.
00:45:37Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say Preston's name again.
00:45:40Okay?
00:45:41He's not the man you think he is.
00:45:43Your father, the one who raised you and cared about you, is out there.
00:45:47And we need to find him at all costs.
00:45:50What kind of coward abandons his family?
00:45:53Huh?
00:45:54It's despicable.
00:45:55I can't do this anymore.
00:45:57I cancel everything.
00:45:59The interviews and the red carpets.
00:46:02I don't want to be seen.
00:46:04I can't pretend.
00:46:06I just want him back.
00:46:08Oh, honey.
00:46:10It's time to let him go.
00:46:12You don't love him anyway.
00:46:14And think about what Preston would do for your career.
00:46:21What?
00:46:22How could you say something like that?
00:46:24Of course I love Daniel.
00:46:26He cares for me.
00:46:28He sees me.
00:46:29He was there for me when Preston dropped me like I was nothing.
00:46:33But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:46:37Daniel's my husband.
00:46:39And the father of my son.
00:46:40What?
00:46:40Yeah, some husband.
00:46:42Abandoning you without a moment's notice.
00:46:44Wanting nothing to do with his child just because the contract ended?
00:46:47Contract?
00:46:49What contract?
00:46:54What are you talking about?
00:46:56Forget it.
00:46:57Forget it.
00:46:58Forget it.
00:46:58Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:47:00When I caught you and Daniel at the restaurant the other day, you said that he was going on a
00:47:05trip.
00:47:05Is there something you're not telling me?
00:47:08Please.
00:47:08Thanks.
00:47:09I just want the truth.
00:47:10Ma.
00:47:12Fine.
00:47:14I will tell you the truth.
00:47:16But promise me you won't get mad.
00:47:20I'll tell you the truth, Sabrina.
00:47:24But no, it was all for your own good.
00:47:29When Preston left you, you were distraught.
00:47:32I had to save you.
00:47:35She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:47:38You've always been there for her.
00:47:40From film school to now.
00:47:42I've seen it.
00:47:44She needs you.
00:47:45Stay.
00:47:46Marry her.
00:47:47Love her.
00:47:49So that she's never alone again.
00:47:56It was all just some sort of obligation?
00:48:00How could you do this to me?
00:48:02I wanted to protect you.
00:48:04You wanted to control me.
00:48:06All because you needed me for my career, my money.
00:48:09Well, it worked, didn't it?
00:48:15You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:48:19Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:48:21He kept you together.
00:48:23Where?
00:48:24Where did he go?
00:48:25I know he told you where he went.
00:48:27Where is he?
00:48:28You can do better than him.
00:48:30You are Sabrina Donovan, Hollywood starlet.
00:48:35Believe me, it's for the best.
00:48:37No.
00:48:37He can't be gone.
00:48:39He can't.
00:48:39Yes.
00:48:40He is gone and he is gone forever.
00:48:43He can't be.
00:48:44He can't be gone.
00:48:46He can't.
00:48:47Let's go.
00:48:47No.
00:48:59And he has gone forever.
00:49:03No.
00:49:04No.
00:49:05No.
00:49:06It's not.
00:49:06I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere of How to Tame a Silver Fox.
00:49:10that's already generated a considerable buzz for its new writer-director.
00:49:16Speaking of which, there he is now, Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:49:22Daniel, your film received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:49:26What's going through your head tonight?
00:49:29Honestly, I'm just trying not to trip over my own speed.
00:49:32Nobody told me how.
00:49:33Oh man, how uncomfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:49:36I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:49:38Uh, yeah, um, God, my career has been a long time in the making.
00:49:43And I've been very honest about it, actually.
00:49:45I almost, I almost gave up the dream.
00:49:47But London, London lit the fire under me.
00:49:51And I feel like I found my voice, and it really is full steam ahead.
00:49:55Speaking of London, since you're an American writer-director,
00:49:58will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:50:03Hollywood.
00:50:05Get out of the country.
00:50:06If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:50:11I will make your life a living hell.
00:50:16Daniel?
00:50:30He's no good at bragging about himself, so I'll do it for him.
00:50:34Daniel is a true auteur and a creative genius, and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:50:40That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake, two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress and celebrated alumni of
00:50:48the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:50:49Well, I've heard that, uh, your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:50:53We'll never tell.
00:50:57Oh my god, thanks for saving me.
00:51:00She was practically I fucking you.
00:51:02I know.
00:51:02Jeez.
00:51:03This is so surreal.
00:51:04I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:51:06I can.
00:51:08The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:51:12Daniel.
00:51:14Enjoy this.
00:51:16And get used to compliments.
00:51:18There's already Oscar buzz.
00:51:20Fuck.
00:51:21Finish me, I know.
00:51:22I feel like I'm drinking.
00:51:25You okay?
00:51:27You always do that when you're nervous.
00:51:29I know, it's, um, I'll have it.
00:51:32Well, the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:51:35Yeah?
00:51:36Some of us just got a head start.
00:51:49I know.
00:51:51Our press is good press.
00:51:57Daniel becomes an award-winning director, and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:52:04He can't do this to me.
00:52:06Sabrina.
00:52:07You don't need him.
00:52:09Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:52:10How could he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:52:13Move on?
00:52:15Please, honey.
00:52:16He is using her.
00:52:18Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:52:21He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:52:24How could you say that?
00:52:25I mean, if anything, being with me hurt his career.
00:52:29He's proving that to the whole world.
00:52:32Don't you see it?
00:52:33Sabrina.
00:52:34Look at what you've got.
00:52:36A celebrated career, a mansion in the hills, an adorable kid.
00:52:41Well, and he's not whining.
00:52:43And don't forget about Preston.
00:52:45Your dream man.
00:52:46You have everything.
00:52:48I don't have him.
00:52:51Mom, I'm hungry.
00:52:52Go have the chef make something.
00:52:54No, I hate what she cooks, and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:52:57Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:52:59Don't talk about him like that.
00:53:01He's your dad.
00:53:02No.
00:53:03Preston is my real dad now.
00:53:05Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks and cleaned the toilet.
00:53:08It was fun telling him what to do.
00:53:10When did he get so cruel?
00:53:13You see, even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:53:16A doormat.
00:53:18Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:20Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:21Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:21Daniel's a doormat.
00:53:22You little shit!
00:53:25Enough!
00:53:26Just enough!
00:53:27Sabrina?
00:53:28What's gotten into you?
00:53:30Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:53:34Whoa.
00:53:35What's going on in here?
00:53:37This room feels really tense.
00:53:38Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:53:40I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:53:42No!
00:53:43I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:53:45And if you keep talking like that, I'm going to put you in a time out.
00:53:48It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:53:55Hey, babe.
00:53:56Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what, making fun of that fucking loser?
00:54:00Really?
00:54:01Loser?
00:54:02Yeah.
00:54:03You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:54:06And you've been mooching off of me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:54:14That's really, really low.
00:54:16Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year?
00:54:22Come on.
00:54:22We're America's power couple.
00:54:24To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:54:27Face it, Preston.
00:54:28You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:54:32And you're a fucking thief.
00:54:34Yeah.
00:54:34I know you're bankrupt.
00:54:36You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:54:38I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:54:41Because you know what?
00:54:43Honestly, I pity you.
00:54:44It's not like that.
00:54:45Okay?
00:54:46Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:54:49No.
00:54:49I want to marry you.
00:54:50We're legacy.
00:54:51Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:54:53When's my birthday?
00:54:54Huh?
00:54:55What kind of flowers do I like?
00:54:57What's my favorite color?
00:54:58My favorite song?
00:55:00Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:55:02Oh, oh wait.
00:55:03What's my fucking middle name?
00:55:05You don't give a shit about me.
00:55:08You don't love me.
00:55:09You don't even know me.
00:55:10This isn't a relationship.
00:55:13This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:16And you know what?
00:55:16I'm done.
00:55:18Get out.
00:55:19I don't want to ever see you again.
00:55:21We're over.
00:55:22We're over.
00:55:24Hey babe, come on.
00:55:25Please.
00:55:26Please.
00:55:26I love you.
00:55:27Just think about it.
00:55:28Look at the press.
00:55:29What this will look like.
00:55:31If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:55:34Get out.
00:55:36Now.
00:55:37Just give me your hand.
00:55:38Come on.
00:55:39No.
00:55:39I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:55:43Nobody sees the real me.
00:55:44I see you, Sabrina.
00:55:46I see all of you.
00:55:48And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:55:51He truly knew me.
00:55:55He loved me.
00:55:57Every flaw.
00:55:58Every fear.
00:56:00Contract or not.
00:56:02He truly loved me.
00:56:04I saved you from social suicide.
00:56:06Saved me?
00:56:07You don't even know how ironic that is.
00:56:11Daniel saved me from the ledge.
00:56:13And he saved me from you.
00:56:16Security!
00:56:18Security!
00:56:19Come on.
00:56:20Just let's talk about this.
00:56:21No.
00:56:22Come on.
00:56:23Celeste, do something!
00:56:25Sabrina!
00:56:26Come on, Sabrina!
00:56:28Was that really necessary?
00:56:30I mean, he still is a Hollywood A-lister
00:56:32and people's sexiest man alive.
00:56:34Is that all you care about?
00:56:35The fame?
00:56:37The headlines?
00:56:38The brand deals?
00:56:39God!
00:56:40You're supposed to be my mother first.
00:56:42Not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:45Sabrina.
00:56:46You are being dramatic.
00:56:48Of course I care about you.
00:56:50I love you.
00:56:52Then prove it.
00:56:53If you ever want me in front of a camera again,
00:56:56then you will help me get Daniel back.
00:57:10You'll have to forgive me, Miss Jilly.
00:57:12I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:14In film school, we were literally told to watch
00:57:17every single film that you ever produced.
00:57:19I mean, you know this.
00:57:21You're a legend.
00:57:22I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:24Alright, let me cut to the chase.
00:57:25You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:57:28I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing alright.
00:57:30I got projects.
00:57:31Come on!
00:57:32You're built for billion dollar franchises.
00:57:34Hollywood blockbusters.
00:57:35The one that gets made in LA, not London.
00:57:38That's where you belong.
00:57:40To be honest, I already did, Ollie.
00:57:42It didn't really end well.
00:57:44Let me guess.
00:57:45My girl?
00:57:45If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:57:51You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:57:54You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:57:58You're giving me a lot to think about.
00:57:59Three picture deal.
00:58:01200 million dollar budget each.
00:58:02Creative control and final cut approval.
00:58:04I don't know what to say.
00:58:05Just say yes.
00:58:06You have my number.
00:58:08Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:10Just remember, Daniel.
00:58:12You can't run away from the past.
00:58:13You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
00:58:26Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:29Can we talk?
00:58:31Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:35Of course.
00:58:36It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
00:58:41Is this a personal story?
00:58:42Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:46Oh, she knows who she is.
00:58:50Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:58:54You arrogant little shit.
00:58:57I told you if you ever set foot in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
00:59:06It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:08I need a favor.
00:59:09I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around eight o'clock tonight.
00:59:15It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
00:59:19Mom?
00:59:20What are you doing?
00:59:24Did you just break my TV?
00:59:26Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
00:59:30You know I'm not supposed to do that.
00:59:31You've been so kind though.
00:59:33Um, it's called, You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:38He's back.
00:59:40Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:42Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
00:59:45I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
00:59:47I need to get on that movie.
00:59:49Absolutely not.
00:59:51You're not working for your ex-husband.
00:59:53If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
00:59:56Honey, I'm just looking out for you.
00:59:58He still loves me.
01:00:01He has to.
01:00:03I just need to talk to him.
01:00:05Let.
01:00:06Him.
01:00:07Go.
01:00:09Mom.
01:00:11Honey, I...
01:00:13You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:00:16I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:00:20I love you.
01:00:22I love you too.
01:00:26Here we go.
01:00:29This is, um, it's another movie deal.
01:00:32I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:48Did you get his location?
01:00:50The Oaks, 8 PM.
01:00:53After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:00:58He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:09She's not protecting me.
01:01:11She's protecting her business.
01:01:13And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:15But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:01:19So nice having you back.
01:01:21And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:01:23Yeah, it's been a rough couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:26Couple?
01:01:27Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:01:31If you can even call them that.
01:01:32But you're healthy now.
01:01:33And I'm at the top of my career.
01:01:36I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina.
01:01:39But I really thought I could make it work.
01:01:41The marriage, the kids.
01:01:43I mean, we really tried.
01:01:44I thought I could make it go for it.
01:01:46But, um...
01:01:48It's over.
01:01:50It's over.
01:01:50I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood can offer.
01:02:02Oh.
01:02:03You haven't heard?
01:02:05She dumped him.
01:02:06It was all over People Magazine.
01:02:08She ended it when his star faded.
01:02:12Oh, my God.
01:02:13What?
01:02:19Daniel!
01:02:22Stop!
01:02:30Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:32I'm here to help you.
01:02:34Sabrina.
01:02:35You're making a scene.
01:02:37Let's go home.
01:02:38Sabrina?
01:02:38How could you?
01:02:39I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition.
01:02:42But he said no.
01:02:43I begged and pleaded.
01:02:45Stop lying.
01:02:47I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:02:51And I'll bet you called the paparazzi too to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:02:56My God.
01:02:57You're disgusting.
01:02:58I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:00Not anymore.
01:03:01Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:03:06I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:03:09I'm your mother.
01:03:11I only want what's best for you.
01:03:14What's best for me?
01:03:17You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:03:22That all ends today.
01:03:27You're fired.
01:03:29Fired.
01:03:31No.
01:03:33No.
01:03:38No.
01:03:40You can't do this to me.
01:03:41Please.
01:03:42Please, sweetie.
01:03:43I have dedicated my life to you.
01:03:44You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:03:49I was just who you used to get to it.
01:03:52You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:03:54There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:03:58I made you.
01:03:59You'd be nothing without me.
01:04:04I think she'll do just fine.
01:04:12We're done here, Mom.
01:04:14If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life, or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:04:21Without another word.
01:04:33I have something to say.
01:04:36I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:39I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:04:42I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:04:46I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:04:56Apologize to your father.
01:04:58Do I have to?
01:04:59Who raised you?
01:05:02Cared for you?
01:05:05Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:05:08Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:05:12He did.
01:05:13He loved you.
01:05:15But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:05:17I was wrong.
01:05:18Jackson.
01:05:19He gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:05:23And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:05:28I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:32It's gonna be okay, son.
01:05:34I still love you.
01:05:35Okay.
01:05:37Come on, Jackson. Let's go.
01:05:45I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:47I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:05:47For everything.
01:05:57I know that look, Daniel.
01:05:59You're thinking of going back to them.
01:06:04I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:06:06They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:09They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:06:15People can change.
01:06:18But that doesn't change the past.
01:06:24And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:06:32Daniel!
01:06:33Daniel!
01:06:33Daniel!
01:06:34Is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for
01:06:40ten years?
01:06:40Yes.
01:06:41I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I found my way back.
01:06:47But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:06:50I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:07:00Way to go, John!
01:07:19Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:07:21Thank you. We'll keep in touch.
01:07:29How many more do we have today?
01:07:3140, sir.
01:07:32Jesus.
01:07:33Hey, boy! How are we looking?
01:07:35We're still digging.
01:07:36Um, no one's cracked the lead yet.
01:07:40I mean, this film lives or dies by the female lead.
01:07:43Alright, here's the deal.
01:07:45The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:07:48Today?
01:07:49Are you fucking kidding me?
01:07:51That's why I love you, man.
01:07:52Cool under pressure.
01:07:53This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:07:59Oh, my God.
01:08:00Alright, just bring in the next one.
01:08:01Ah.
01:08:02But that would be...
01:08:04Emily Blake.
01:08:08Emily.
01:08:12Emily.
01:08:14Amazing as always.
01:08:16You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:08:19Please.
01:08:19I wasn't gonna miss a shot who auditioned for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:08:24How's LA treating you?
01:08:26Oh, my God.
01:08:28Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:08:30But I am...
01:08:32I'm glad to be back.
01:08:33Yeah.
01:08:34Well, it's no English countryside.
01:08:35Yeah.
01:08:36But...
01:08:37It suits you.
01:08:39You definitely belong here.
01:08:43I do miss you, though.
01:08:45It was fun.
01:08:46Playing the part.
01:08:48British starlet.
01:08:50American director.
01:08:52I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:08:56Waiting for us to become something real.
01:08:59I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:01Just cast me, and we'll call it even.
01:09:04You...
01:09:05You were amazing, as always.
01:09:07It's just...
01:09:10It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:09:13I never was, was I?
01:09:17Anyways...
01:09:17Got a few more auditions while I'm in town?
01:09:20Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:22Yeah.
01:09:34Give me a coffee, and you know what?
01:09:36Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:39And be generous with the sugar.
01:09:46Oh, my God.
01:09:48What am I gonna do?
01:09:55That was quick.
01:10:05What are you doing here?
01:10:08I came to audition.
01:10:12Did you bring any representation?
01:10:14No.
01:10:15I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:18I'm starting fresh.
01:10:21Right, um...
01:10:24Hi.
01:10:25I'm Sabrina Donovan.
01:10:30Don't let me go!
01:10:31I got you.
01:10:32I'll never let you go.
01:10:36Are you okay?
01:10:37Yeah.
01:10:38It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:41Never really healed.
01:10:44I understand.
01:10:48Daniel Johnson.
01:10:51Nice to meet you.
01:10:55Please.
01:11:03Are you ready?
01:11:04Miami?
01:11:13Talk about cool things.
01:11:14Yeah, we're supposed to be really fun.
