00:00:00He has to worship.
00:00:02And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
00:00:09That loser actually won an Oscar?
00:00:13Who knew the house hubby had it in him? I'm an industry joke now.
00:00:17Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for 10 years?
00:00:23Wow, you did your homework. Yes, I got sidelined for a little bit, but I think I got my way back.
00:00:28Um, I will tell you this. I don't think you can truly love others until you truly love yourself.
00:00:36Daniel really did it. The one standing by his side isn't me anymore.
00:00:41You think you can divorce America's sweetheart? You're nothing but a fucking house husband, Daniel.
00:00:47Our contract expired. I'm only telling you because you're her manager.
00:00:52If you try and divorce my daughter, you will end up with nothing.
00:00:55The mansion, the money, even your own son will belong to her.
00:01:02I'll always love my son.
00:01:03But he's a bully, and he learned it from the best in the business, his grandmother.
00:01:07You didn't still worship Sabrina. What happened?
00:01:11That was a long time ago.
00:01:13America's sweetheart, Sabrina Donovan, attempts suicide.
00:01:16All for her co-star and Hollywood's golden boy, Preston Eastwood.
00:01:19When her career's hanging by a thread, I need to get those paparazzi off her back.
00:01:25You've always loved her, Daniel. I've seen it.
00:01:29She needs that now.
00:01:31Stay. Marry her.
00:01:34Love her.
00:01:36So that she doesn't face the world alone.
00:01:38I might not have been Sabrina's first love, but I would be her last.
00:01:41And I'd cherish her like no other man would.
00:01:45If Preston Eastwood's really back, then maybe the last ten years meant more to me than they ever did to her.
00:01:52This was the last one.
00:01:55Mom. Daniel.
00:01:58What's going on?
00:02:02What's going on?
00:02:04Honey.
00:02:05I was just telling Daniel he needs to stop dressing like a bum.
00:02:10If the paparazzi catch him next to you.
00:02:13But I need to go.
00:02:15I have an appointment with your child.
00:02:18Think about it, Daniel.
00:02:23Once Sabrina signs the divorce petition, the 30-day waiting period starts.
00:02:28Then I will be free.
00:02:30Sabrina, we need to talk.
00:02:32Ugh.
00:02:33Can it wait?
00:02:34I'm seriously so spent.
00:02:36I had the photo shoot and fitting and cocktails with girls.
00:02:41I saw Preston was there.
00:02:44I mean, he got us our first movie deal right out of college.
00:02:46I mean, we owe him.
00:02:48Yeah.
00:02:49And then he cheated on you.
00:02:50And I'm the one who picked up the pieces.
00:02:52I'm starving.
00:02:53When are we eating?
00:02:55Lunch is on the stove.
00:02:57But first, your mother and I need to talk.
00:03:00No!
00:03:00I want to eat now!
00:03:02You always know the spot.
00:03:15He doesn't listen.
00:03:16Daniel, please.
00:03:18I had a migraine all day from the flashing bulbs that that got off of Vanity Fair shoot.
00:03:23I got something I need to tell you.
00:03:27I'll make it quick.
00:03:28This isn't easy, but I'm...
00:03:29Ew!
00:03:30What is this?
00:03:31It's mom's vegetable and quinoa stew.
00:03:34I don't want healthy food.
00:03:35I want chicken nuggets.
00:03:36Chicken nuggets.
00:03:37Chicken nuggets.
00:03:38You can't have that every day.
00:03:40It's not healthy for you.
00:03:41But I want that.
00:03:43Jackson, when I say no, I mean no.
00:03:47You suck!
00:03:48I want chicken nuggets!
00:03:50Give me chicken nuggets!
00:03:59I waited.
00:04:00I gave it everything I had.
00:04:03But it takes two to make a marriage work.
00:04:05And my self-absorbed wife would rather be with the man that almost ruined her life than me.
00:04:11Enough.
00:04:12Just enough.
00:04:13Enough.
00:04:14Enough.
00:04:17I want a divorce.
00:04:21I want a divorce.
00:04:27Sabrina, did you hear me?
00:04:30Huh?
00:04:32I want a...
00:04:35I want chicken nuggets!
00:04:37Give me chicken nuggets!
00:04:39Jackson, honey, you need to listen to your father, okay?
00:04:43Now go upstairs, get cleaned up.
00:04:45We'll get you some real food.
00:04:47Seriously, their only job is to take care of the house and the family.
00:04:55I mean, it's not that hard.
00:04:58What is this?
00:05:00Another contract?
00:05:01How big is the role?
00:05:04Who's directing?
00:05:05It's not a...
00:05:06Whatever, my mom will look over it anyways.
00:05:08Hard to believe I can't even get her to care about this.
00:05:11Honestly, I am really at my capacity.
00:05:15I have that red carpet event coming up, and I really need you to pull your weight.
00:05:20Pull my weight?
00:05:21Yeah, you get it.
00:05:24Love you.
00:05:26I devoted myself to this family for ten long years.
00:05:30If that wasn't enough, then this is the only option.
00:05:33Just wait until she realizes what life's like without me.
00:05:44The movie's greenlit, and the studio wants you to direct.
00:05:46We need you on a plane to Australia tomorrow.
00:05:48I can't.
00:05:50My wife needs me here in L.A.
00:05:51After all I've sacrificed, my scripts, my career, my future, all pushed aside.
00:06:00At least there is one good thing to come from this.
00:06:03I was able to use the money Celeste gave me to save my mother's life.
00:06:07Hey, Mom.
00:06:07How you doing?
00:06:08Oh, good, dear.
00:06:10I just noticed that you transfer more money to my account.
00:06:14Do you need more?
00:06:15No, no, no, no.
00:06:16You've already done so much.
00:06:18I'm just trying to help.
00:06:19I know, but I never wanted my cancer to be your battle.
00:06:24I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done, but it's time you lived your life.
00:06:32I am, Mom.
00:06:34And I promise, very soon, everything's going to change.
00:06:42That's wonderful, dear.
00:06:43You deserve more than what they put you through.
00:06:46Everyone, come quick, come quick.
00:06:48I gotta go.
00:06:49Love you.
00:06:53What is it, Mom?
00:06:54Someone very special decided to pay us a visit.
00:06:57Our favorite leading man.
00:06:59Come on.
00:06:59Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart, and is stealing it back again.
00:07:14Preston Eastwood, the man that broke my wife's heart.
00:07:17All right, cut.
00:07:23All right, cut.
00:07:24That's a wrap, everyone.
00:07:27We got our start on the set of Breaking the Ice.
00:07:31Sabrina was the rising star.
00:07:33I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:35Our future's ahead of us.
00:07:39If only she didn't fall for Hollywood's golden asshole.
00:07:44I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:45I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:46I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:47I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:48I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:49I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:50I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:51I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:52I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:53I was just the director's assistant.
00:07:54I was just the director's assistant assistant.
00:07:55I was just the director's assistant assistant.
00:07:56I was just the director's assistant assistant.
00:07:57I was just the director's assistant assistant.
00:07:58It destroyed me.
00:08:17I was just at the level.
00:08:28Sabrina, don't!
00:08:35Stay back.
00:08:38I mean it.
00:08:39Sabrina, don't do this.
00:08:43Just...
00:08:46Just give me your hand.
00:08:58No!
00:09:01Daniel!
00:09:03I got you.
00:09:04No!
00:09:05Don't let me go!
00:09:07I won't ever let you go.
00:09:12I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:09:17Nobody sees around me.
00:09:19I see you, Sabrina.
00:09:21I see all of you.
00:09:23And you're never gonna be alone again.
00:09:27Good to see ya!
00:09:34Oh my gosh, how long has it been?
00:09:36Oh, too long.
00:09:37Look at you!
00:09:38Oh, I'm so glad you could make it to my little slice in the Hollywood Hills.
00:09:42Yeah, of course, babe.
00:09:43Thank you for letting me stay here for a little bit.
00:09:45Are you kidding?
00:09:46Oh, Daniel, Preston's gonna stay with us for a bit, but you don't mind, right?
00:09:50Oh, there he is!
00:09:52The assistant!
00:09:53I'll tell you what, there's no one who grabs coffee quite like this guy.
00:09:56How did someone like you end up with a blonde bombshell like my Sabrina?
00:10:02Stop!
00:10:03I can't believe my wife would invite the ex she tried to kill herself over into our home.
00:10:09Sabrina, I don't remember agreeing to having him stay over.
00:10:13Daniel!
00:10:14Don't embarrass me.
00:10:15No, it's fine.
00:10:16I'm sorry.
00:10:17Whoa!
00:10:18You played Brett Steele in your action spy movie?
00:10:21He's not just tough, he's Brett Steele tough!
00:10:24You think, you know?
00:10:25My friends are, but my dad doesn't let me watch it.
00:10:27He doesn't let me do anything.
00:10:29Now that I'm here, we'll be able to bend some of dad's rules.
00:10:32What are you saying, huh?
00:10:33Yeah!
00:10:34Sabrina, I think it's time he leaves.
00:10:38It's fine.
00:10:39It's fine.
00:10:40It's fine.
00:10:41Just relax, okay?
00:10:43Be nice.
00:10:53Some people never change.
00:10:55But once our divorce is finalized, I won't be there to save her when he breaks her heart
00:11:00again.
00:11:02Yeah, it's nice.
00:11:03But this mansion is still the second most stunning thing on the cell.
00:11:14Oh, careful.
00:11:15You all right?
00:11:19I'm still starving.
00:11:20Make me some food.
00:11:22Jackson, there's leftover stew in the fridge.
00:11:25Stew?
00:11:26Ew.
00:11:27What is this, a soup kitchen?
00:11:28I told you a hundred times I want chicken nuggets!
00:11:31Daniel, if the kid wants nuggets, just give him nuggets.
00:11:34I'm trying to teach my son how to be grateful for what he already has.
00:11:38Daniel, I'm a billionaire.
00:11:41Well, babe, for real?
00:11:43Yeah, my makeup line took me all the way to the top.
00:11:47Donovan Cosmetics.
00:11:49Rich.
00:11:50Which means we don't have to be grateful.
00:11:55I mean, that's just something poor people tell themselves so that they're happy with nothing.
00:12:00See, Daniel, that was always your problem.
00:12:01You're so caught up on the morals.
00:12:03You realize that's why no one bought your scripts.
00:12:05They were so dull.
00:12:06Please, Mr. Eastwood, my dad won't let me have anything!
00:12:10Lucky for you, Uncle Preston is a little bit of a rebel.
00:12:14So, how about we go to an exclusive restaurant?
00:12:18My treat.
00:12:19There you go.
00:12:20What to do?
00:12:21Oh, you don't have to do that.
00:12:23I don't mind.
00:12:24I'll let you insist.
00:12:26I mean, I'm already dressed.
00:12:27So...
00:12:28Okay.
00:12:29Oh, and I wouldn't bite you, Daniel, but there's a little bit of a dress cut.
00:12:35So...
00:12:36Anyways.
00:12:37Come on, Ben.
00:12:38Let's go.
00:12:39That's great.
00:12:40Gotcha.
00:12:41There we go.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:43There's...
00:12:44Paps.
00:12:45You don't have to come, Daniel.
00:12:48Last time.
00:12:49I promise.
00:12:52You're right.
00:12:53It is the last time.
00:12:56You guys?
00:12:59Hi.
00:13:00Jackson.
00:13:07Well, did you use your brain or are you following through on the divorce?
00:13:10Contract sign.
00:13:13It's over.
00:13:15Why don't you meet me at the Oaks to finalize the paperwork?
00:13:19I hope you're ready to go on without a penny to your name.
00:13:22Is it ten years of heartbreak?
00:13:24I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:25I don't care if I walk away with nothing.
00:13:44Why would Celeste invite me here?
00:13:46She must have known this is where they were going for dinner.
00:13:52Sabrina Donovan?
00:13:53I could scream.
00:13:54I'm literally obsessed with you.
00:13:56Preston Eastwood.
00:13:57I haven't seen the two of you together since breaking the ice.
00:14:00Oh, gee.
00:14:01I used to always replay that scene where you guys kiss at the hockey rink.
00:14:03The scene that I wrote.
00:14:04Uncredited, of course.
00:14:05Even my success is shadowed by her fame.
00:14:08Wait.
00:14:09Are you two dating?
00:14:10Oh, well, actually.
00:14:11This is totally a date.
00:14:13All these years, I couldn't even be seen with her in public.
00:14:17Look.
00:14:22Do you mind just giving me a little space?
00:14:24You're not really a part of my brand.
00:14:26Your brand?
00:14:28It's just, it's not a good look for me.
00:14:30You get it.
00:14:31Right?
00:14:40So, you two are a thing?
00:14:42Well, I...
00:14:43It's okay, babe.
00:14:44We don't have to lie to our biggest fans.
00:14:47This is so going viral.
00:14:48I can't believe you guys are dating.
00:14:49It looks like more than dating.
00:14:50Are...
00:14:51Is this your son?
00:14:52I wish I was his son, Jackson.
00:14:53Don't be silly.
00:14:54You have a dad, and he's a sissy.
00:14:55That's what all the boys at school say.
00:14:56He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:14:58But Preston is awesome.
00:14:59He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:00But Preston is awesome.
00:15:01He's a sissy.
00:15:02He's an action spy.
00:15:03I wish he was my dad.
00:15:04My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:05But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:15:07after party with a call girl.
00:15:08It's okay, buddy.
00:15:09Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:10If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:11If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:12That is if mom schools it.
00:15:13Oh, Preston.
00:15:14I don't know.
00:15:15Daniel.
00:15:16He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:18He does girly stuff like cook and clean.
00:15:19But Preston is awesome.
00:15:20He's an action spy.
00:15:21I wish he was my dad.
00:15:22My own son doesn't respect me.
00:15:24But we'll see if Preston's the type of daddy wants when he comes home coked out from a Hollywood
00:15:29after party with a call girl.
00:15:30It's okay, buddy.
00:15:31Every spy needs a partner in crime.
00:15:33If you want me around, I'm in.
00:15:36That is if mom schools it.
00:15:39Oh, Preston.
00:15:40I don't know.
00:15:41Daniel.
00:15:42He, you know, he's.
00:15:43Preston, what are you doing?
00:15:47Come on then.
00:15:48Let's go Michelle.
00:16:04Now that's a Hollywood couple.
00:16:09I told you this divorce was a mistake.
00:16:12Sabrina will end up on top and you will end up with nothing.
00:16:18Daniel.
00:16:20You know, it's probably for the best.
00:16:22And the sound of it, your own son doesn't even want to be around you.
00:16:26Daniel, he's here.
00:16:28Did he see us?
00:16:29Is he looking over here?
00:16:30Oh, fuck.
00:16:31That's not good.
00:16:32I was just doing that for policy.
00:16:33I didn't mean for him to see us.
00:16:35Actually, it was perfect timing.
00:16:37Once that loser's out of the picture, Sabrina and her money are all mine.
00:16:41Who cares about him, mommy?
00:16:43Now you can be with Mr. Preston.
00:16:45Jackson, enough.
00:16:47What do I do?
00:16:49Well, that's it then.
00:16:51Now I need to handle Sabrina.
00:16:52I need to leverage your relationship with Preston.
00:16:55With the tabloids.
00:16:56I'm sure you'll spend the story to whatever suits you.
00:16:59You're really good at that.
00:17:01Oh, I have a parting gift for you.
00:17:05A one-way ticket.
00:17:07So you can get as far away from this family as possible.
00:17:11I know the contract is over.
00:17:13But if I see one stitch of bad press about the Donovans,
00:17:16I will come after you with everything I got.
00:17:19Daniel loves me.
00:17:20He has to understand.
00:17:22This is Hollywood.
00:17:23It's just part of the job.
00:17:26Daniel, I can explain.
00:17:31Daniel, what is this?
00:17:37I can't let her create a public scene.
00:17:39All it takes is one article to get her cancelled.
00:17:42Are you going somewhere?
00:17:44Honey!
00:17:45Oh, what a coincidence.
00:17:47We were just meeting here to discuss a vacation.
00:17:50Isn't that right, Daniel?
00:17:52A vacation?
00:17:53Final.
00:17:54You're paying attention.
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57I'm gonna leave in a few days.
00:17:59Well, thanks for telling your wife.
00:18:01What are we supposed to do without you?
00:18:03Without me cooking and cleaning?
00:18:04That's not what I meant.
00:18:05Whoa.
00:18:06Looks like there's a little bit of drama going on over here.
00:18:09It's fine.
00:18:10Daniel's just decided to abandon us for a bit.
00:18:13Just like any good husband would.
00:18:14Oh, look how you see.
00:18:16Is it me?
00:18:17Is my presence hurting your ego?
00:18:19I wouldn't put jealousy past him.
00:18:22I always knew you were the self-loathing type.
00:18:24You know what?
00:18:25Maybe I should go.
00:18:26I don't want to get between the two of you.
00:18:27No, please stay.
00:18:29I want you to live with us forever and ever.
00:18:32No, you know what?
00:18:34I'll go.
00:18:35And clearly she wants you.
00:18:37Going to dance this soon.
00:18:38Daniel, wait.
00:18:40I won't ever let you go.
00:18:42He won't leave.
00:18:44He promised.
00:18:45It doesn't have to be like this.
00:18:48We could pull up a chair and we can...
00:18:50I'm gonna go back.
00:18:52Daniel!
00:18:53Please.
00:18:54Let them here.
00:18:55Yeah.
00:18:56Shhh.
00:18:57Shhh.
00:18:58Shhh.
00:18:59Shhh.
00:19:00Shhh.
00:19:01Shhh.
00:19:02Shhh.
00:19:03Shhh.
00:19:04Shhh.
00:19:05Shhh.
00:19:06Oh, good.
00:19:07You're up.
00:19:08Um, after dinner we went to an A-lister party in Bel Air.
00:19:13It was fun.
00:19:14What?
00:19:15Don't look at me like that.
00:19:18I'm allowed to have a little bit of fun.
00:19:20Anyways, Preston had a few too many drinks to be alone.
00:19:25How lucky for him.
00:19:27He's got his girl to take care of him when he's drunk.
00:19:30Daniel, whatever you saw at the restaurant, it's not like that.
00:19:34Yeah.
00:19:35Listen, man.
00:19:36I...
00:19:37I've had every opportunity to sleep with her and nothing happened.
00:19:40You can trust me.
00:19:43Preston, I think you're...
00:19:45Mm.
00:19:46You need to write down.
00:19:47Alright.
00:19:48Oh, my...
00:19:50Daniel, seriously.
00:19:51Listen, man.
00:19:52I...
00:19:53When you're gone, I promise I will take the best care of your son and your wife.
00:19:58I'm gonna be the best man of the house.
00:20:01Just ignore him.
00:20:02He doesn't know what he's saying.
00:20:04No, I actually think he's the only one speaking exactly what's on his mind.
00:20:08Daniel, you don't have to be so jealous.
00:20:10Jealous?
00:20:11Yeah.
00:20:12My God.
00:20:13You still don't get it, do you?
00:20:15Whatever.
00:20:16I'm going to bed.
00:20:18You know...
00:20:21I don't think I should be alone.
00:20:24That's all I need to slip into her bed and drive the final way.
00:20:30Between her and the house husband.
00:20:33Daniel...
00:20:34Can Preston sleep in here tonight so I could look after him?
00:20:38Oh, my God.
00:20:40God, you're unbelievable.
00:20:42Are you really gonna ask your husband if you can sleep with your ex?
00:20:49No, it's not like that.
00:20:51I...
00:20:52What?
00:20:53You know what?
00:20:54Fine.
00:20:55The two look great together.
00:20:56Daniel...
00:20:57I...
00:20:58I...
00:20:59I...
00:21:00I...
00:21:01I...
00:21:02And to think there was a time I wanted to make our marriage work.
00:21:17Um...
00:21:18I don't know where our kettle or extra towels are.
00:21:28Without me, you can't even find a kettle or a towel.
00:21:32I was never the homemaker.
00:21:35I was never the homemaker.
00:21:39Please, Daniel.
00:21:41I can't think of any time she was there to comfort me.
00:21:56If you're sick, can you go in the other room?
00:22:03I have a press junkie tomorrow that I seriously can't miss.
00:22:06Look at her now.
00:22:20Playing house for another man.
00:22:22If only she worked this hard at being a wife when it actually mattered.
00:22:36There he is.
00:22:37God.
00:22:38I wish I could sleep until 8 a.m.
00:22:39Man.
00:22:40No, I had to wake up and have a 5 a.m. workout.
00:22:41Life of an A-lister, I guess.
00:22:42Hmm.
00:22:43Hmm.
00:22:44Hmm.
00:22:45I've got some.
00:22:46Yeah.
00:22:47What do you need?
00:22:48Oh.
00:22:49Oh.
00:22:50Yeah.
00:22:51There you go.
00:22:52I don't need some of this shit, but...
00:22:53I doubt you'll like it.
00:22:54Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:22:56Yeah.
00:22:57What do you need?
00:22:58Oh.
00:22:59Oh.
00:23:00Yeah, there you go.
00:23:01I don't need some of this shit, but...
00:23:03I doubt you'll like it.
00:23:04Yeah, this shit's straight up protein.
00:23:05Bulking up for a new Marvel movie!
00:23:12Hey, uh...
00:23:13You're not pissed off that your wife had to take care of you last night, right?
00:23:17No?
00:23:18A grown man that needs a babysitter?
00:23:20Why would I be threatened by that?
00:23:23It's finally time to make this hack disappear.
00:23:30What's wrong, Jackson?
00:23:31Mr. Eastwood!
00:23:32I want to play with the fish, but my stupid dad won't let me!
00:23:47And it's unfair!
00:23:48That's a shame, huh?
00:23:49You know what?
00:23:50Let me grab it for you, little man.
00:23:51Here we go.
00:23:52Ooh!
00:23:53No!
00:23:54Not to play with that.
00:23:55You never let me do anything!
00:23:57Come on, it's just a fish tank, Daniel.
00:23:58You guys can afford an aquarium.
00:23:59It's not about the money.
00:24:00It's about him learning how to respect living things.
00:24:01Unfortunately, he's surrounded by bad examples.
00:24:02Yeah?
00:24:03What's that supposed to mean?
00:24:04You're so annoying!
00:24:05Don't push.
00:24:09Don't push.
00:24:11Don't push.
00:24:14Don't push, go get a book or something.
00:24:15Yeah, what's that supposed to mean you're so annoying don't push
00:24:27Said don't push go get a book or something to get your hands off him. He's a Donovan not some pathetic man sir
00:24:34Call it a lesson. I'm teaching the kid to go after what he's not
00:24:53You just heard your son. So why don't you make this little vacay yours?
00:24:57Maybe you will be but until then I'm still the man of the house
00:25:02you
00:25:03Man of the house, please. You're a pussy in an apron. I'd be embarrassed to call you a maid much less a dad or a husband
00:25:12You're riding on all your old headlines. How are your latest box office numbers, huh? I heard your agents begging for scraps
00:25:18I'm a fucking star
00:25:20A star a stone that needs his ex to bring it back into the spotlight
00:25:25Jackson come on. I don't want you hanging around this clowning. No, I'm not going
00:25:29Oh wait, Preston is way cooler than you. Preston, Preston, Preston
00:25:34Preston
00:25:36You know there's a reason we say everyone's replaceable in Hollywood
00:26:00What was that?
00:26:09Daniel! What is happening?
00:26:11It was dad, mom. Dad was attacking Mr. Eastwood
00:26:15You're so scared!
00:26:16That'd be pretty good, babe
00:26:17What the hell, Daniel?
00:26:20I just wanted to hang out with Jackson. I came in looking for a fight
00:26:22What? I didn't?
00:26:24What the hell is wrong with you? You're acting like a jealous child
00:26:28I thought you were bigger than this petty shit
00:26:30He threw a fish tank at me
00:26:32It's just a fucking fish tank! Throw up!
00:26:34Remember where in the public eye?
00:26:36What if your little outburst was caught by the press?
00:26:39What? Everyone knows your precious Preston attacked me?
00:26:42Maybe I should go on, I'm sorry
00:26:45No! Oh my god
00:26:47He's lying
00:26:49You're a monster!
00:26:51And in front of your son?
00:26:53You have to be kidding
00:26:55We have to get you to the hospital
00:26:56Sure
00:26:58We'll talk about this when I get home
00:27:00Come on
00:27:01Clean this up!
00:27:03Soon, you won't be coming home to me ever again
00:27:07Huh
00:27:09She's mine now, loser
00:27:11Hello, Pag-1-1, it's your emergency
00:27:22Wait, I think I hit an RA
00:27:25I need an ambulance now
00:27:27Now
00:27:28You did lose a lot of blood, so we're gonna have to keep you here overnight to pump you with the liquid
00:27:43What?
00:27:44To be honest, that's...
00:27:45I could use a break from home
00:27:47Trouble with the missus?
00:27:50Uh...
00:27:52Yeah
00:27:53It's pretty obvious
00:27:54Most married folks that come in here are miserable
00:27:57I shouldn't be saying this, but Sabrina Donovan was here with Preston Eastwood
00:28:04True love story holding hands, wiping tears
00:28:08I've been obsessed with him since breaking the ice
00:28:12You said, um, couple?
00:28:14I wasn't sure, but I checked the visitation logs and it's official!
00:28:19She even helped me reposition Preston when his IV was twisted
00:28:23She was so sweet
00:28:25Need us to check on that shoulder for you?
00:28:31No, it's...
00:28:33It's my wound
00:28:35I tore it actually, um, ten years ago
00:28:39Daniel!
00:28:41Sweet and caring
00:28:43So Preston's found the wife I always wanted
00:28:47He only had to break her heart to get it
00:28:50And left me to pick up the pieces
00:28:55Fuck you!
00:28:57Fuck you!
00:28:58Fuck you!
00:28:59I'm gonna get my shit in here
00:29:01Mr. Lee, I don't know if you remember me
00:29:05You once liked my short film
00:29:07I have a strip I've been sitting on
00:29:09It needs the right producer
00:29:19I know it's a long shot, but I'd be honored if you'd read it
00:29:24Where have you been?
00:29:25I kept calling
00:29:27I started to feel like one of my stalkers
00:29:30Huh?
00:29:35I've been busy
00:29:36I thought you were busy entertaining Preston
00:29:38Seriously?
00:29:40Why does it always have to come back to him?
00:29:42I told you!
00:29:43He's just a friend
00:29:46Yeah
00:29:47That's what you wanna call it?
00:29:49I...
00:29:50I just...
00:29:52I'm sorry
00:29:53I...
00:29:54Bringing Preston into our home was probably crossing the line
00:30:01It is what it is
00:30:03But I mean, you know how the industry works
00:30:07You even just hint at a relationship and it stirs up all this publicity
00:30:12And I think you should go for it
00:30:14I mean, you always do what's best for your career
00:30:17But...
00:30:18I just...
00:30:19I don't want you to be upset with me
00:30:24Seriously
00:30:25I...
00:30:26I care about you
00:30:27I don't know that
00:30:33I've known you for 14 years
00:30:35I know when you're angry
00:30:37Really?
00:30:38I didn't think you paid attention
00:30:40I pay attention?
00:30:42Since when do I not pay attention?
00:30:45She signed the papers without reading them
00:30:48That's all this marriage ever was to her
00:30:50A headline
00:30:51A performance
00:30:54Sabrina
00:30:56I'm not a man
00:30:58Sabrina, I'm good
00:30:59You know what?
00:31:00I hate fighting
00:31:01So...
00:31:02Let's just forget about this, okay?
00:31:04I was thinking
00:31:06We could...
00:31:07Revisit your script
00:31:11I gave that to you 3 years ago
00:31:14You telling me you finally read it?
00:31:16Well, yeah!
00:31:17The first 10 pages
00:31:18But...
00:31:19They're good!
00:31:20The lead role is something I can really sink my teeth into
00:31:23I mean we have to do this
00:31:24I mean we have to do this
00:31:25Me and you
00:31:26The lead actress and the writer-director
00:31:30I gave up on that dream of us working together
00:31:33A long time ago
00:31:36Well, how about you make us some lattes
00:31:39And for the next hour we can just pour ourselves into the script
00:31:43Just like we used to in film school
00:31:44There was a time when this would have worked on me
00:31:49I would have melted in her hands
00:31:52Now I just want to pack and get out of here
00:31:54Like...
00:32:10I don't know what you do
00:32:11But I asked the chef to make a latte while you were gone
00:32:15And it was...awful
00:32:18I've had a lot of experience making it for you
00:32:19I'll be sure to tell him how you like it
00:32:21That's not what I meant
00:32:25I like it when you make it
00:32:28I'm not going to always be here
00:32:30To make it
00:32:32I knew it
00:32:34You are mad that I brought Preston back here
00:32:37I told you it was just a publicity stunt
00:32:40God!
00:32:41It's not like our marriage is going to get me on the cover of Vanity Fair
00:32:45Married people are fucking boring
00:32:49It's good to know where you stand
00:32:51No, Daniel!
00:32:52No, that's not what I meant
00:32:55Look what you made me do
00:33:01Just...
00:33:03Just leave it
00:33:05I thought you would appreciate that I read your script
00:33:08And what?
00:33:10It would make up for all the years of indifference?
00:33:12I'm just trying to do something nice
00:33:14And look what I get for it
00:33:15You know what?
00:33:17Forget it
00:33:18I have a mirror
00:33:19Let's just...
00:33:20Talk about this tomorrow
00:33:21What?
00:33:22Is that how you talk to your mother-in-law?
00:33:27Yeah, ex-mother-in-law
00:33:28Not quite
00:33:29That was the divorce contract
00:33:30But if you want a clean break we need to finalize your entertainment contract and our family's MTA
00:33:34This is showbiz baby, remember that
00:33:35I'll text you the address of where it may be
00:34:06I'll text you the address of where it may be
00:34:09Oh, please, she's always been so secretive
00:34:12I mean this is her movie premiere and where is her husband?
00:34:16Maybe she's embarrassed by him
00:34:17I read somewhere that he was just a broke writer's assistant
00:34:24Oh, oh, if we want the tea, let's get it from the pot
00:34:27Come here, mom
00:34:31Jackson!
00:34:33We were just talking about your mom
00:34:35Do you know where she is?
00:34:37Or who she's with?
00:34:39She's with Mr. Eastwood
00:34:40He's been staying with us
00:34:42Really?
00:34:44Do you think Mr. Eastwood might be your new daddy?
00:34:48Oh, I hope so, I really hope so
00:34:50He's way cooler than my old-born real dad
00:34:53Speaking of, I don't think we've ever met your real dad
00:34:57Yeah, he usually stays at home doing chores like a maid
00:35:06What are you doing here?
00:35:08You never come to these things
00:35:10Well, that's gotta be the husband
00:35:13Get lost, you embarrass us!
00:35:16Jackson, do not talk to me like that
00:35:17I'm your father
00:35:19I wish you never were my dad
00:35:24Is there a problem?
00:35:30Oh my god, that's Preston Eastwood
00:35:33How could Sabrina choose this flop over Preston?
00:35:36If there was a problem, that's none of your business
00:35:39I wish Preston was my dad
00:35:40You're a pathetic loser
00:35:42Zip it, Jackson
00:35:44You should probably listen to your kid pat out
00:35:46Because we're starting to make a scene
00:35:49I'm just here to talk to Celeste
00:35:51That's not what I see
00:35:53You showed up uninvited
00:35:55In street rags
00:35:57Abused Sabrina's kid and pit a fight with an A-lister
00:36:01That's the kind of story the press would devour
00:36:03Doesn't take much to be cancelled these days
00:36:06And then they would praise Sabrina for divorcing your sorry ass
00:36:11This was all that stopped, was it?
00:36:13You were revolting
00:36:15No wonder Sabrina turned out the way she did
00:36:18Hey!
00:36:20How are you watching now?
00:36:22Trash like him is always forgetting their place in the world
00:36:25Yeah, maybe I should teach him a lesson
00:36:28Oh yeah?
00:36:29What lesson's that Preston?
00:36:31You groveling back to your ex that you cheated on
00:36:33So that you can leech off her career?
00:36:35Hm
00:36:36No!
00:36:39Oh!
00:36:57What the hell?
00:36:59What happened?
00:37:01Oh my god! Daniel!
00:37:03What the hell happened?
00:37:04Daniel, you're bleeding
00:37:06Are you okay?
00:37:08Look at her go
00:37:10Hollywood's finest
00:37:12Always performing when there's an audience
00:37:14It's Daniel
00:37:16He's a monster
00:37:17He found out about your premiere and crashed the party
00:37:20Mommy! Dad came in here and started shouting at me
00:37:24No, no, that's not true
00:37:26If Preston weren't here
00:37:28Daniel would have manhandled Jackson in front of the reporters
00:37:32Can you imagine the allegations?
00:37:35Daniel?
00:37:37Is that true?
00:37:40Sabrina?
00:37:42Oh!
00:37:44Yeah, I think you got me in the ribs
00:37:47I think one of them is broken
00:37:49Sabrina? Honey?
00:37:51We need to help Preston
00:37:55But Daniel
00:37:56Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood
00:38:01Imagine choosing that loser for Preston Eastwood
00:38:11Mommy, please! We can't leave him!
00:38:15I... I have... I have to help Preston
00:38:18I have to help Preston
00:38:29Come out, Jackson!
00:38:30Daniel!
00:38:31I'm out, Jackson.
00:38:40Daniel!
00:38:42I got you.
00:38:43No, let me go.
00:38:46She's made her choice.
00:38:47There's no going back.
00:38:49We'll see if Preston can give her the life she's grown used to
00:38:51after all these years of me slaving for her.
00:39:01Well, that went even better than I planned.
00:39:06Now we can make a clean break.
00:39:09I wasn't waiting for your permission.
00:39:11There's an Uber waiting for you outside to take you to the airport.
00:39:16Get out of Hollywood.
00:39:17In fact, get out of the country.
00:39:21If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:39:25I will make your life a living hell.
00:39:31Don't worry about it.
00:39:42Just drive.
00:39:56I used to ache for her approval.
00:39:58Now I just want to breathe without her shadow.
00:40:04Seriously?
00:40:05So long.
00:40:07What is he doing?
00:40:09I'm not going to call the doctor.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:13What are you doing?
00:40:15I thought you were hurt.
00:40:16I think I'll pull through.
00:40:24So what are you doing?
00:40:26I've always wanted to.
00:40:28Come on.
00:40:29I know you want this.
00:40:30I see the way you look at me.
00:40:32Now that Daniel's gone,
00:40:34we have the house to ourselves.
00:40:36I can finally have you in this bedroom.
00:40:48What am I doing?
00:40:50Daniel is still injured.
00:40:52He should be home.
00:40:56Sabrina?
00:40:57Sabrina?
00:40:58Listen, get off.
00:41:10What?
00:41:11Babe, we can finally...
00:41:12Come on.
00:41:13I said get off.
00:41:14What?
00:41:15I need to go take care of Daniel.
00:41:17No, forget about him.
00:41:18Look, I love Jackson,
00:41:21and I'm ready to be the man that you've always wanted.
00:41:23I'm ready to be a dad to that little boy.
00:41:27I mean, come on.
00:41:28Sabrina, your son, your mother.
00:41:31Even Daniel is pushing us together.
00:41:35Look.
00:41:36He's already moved on.
00:41:40No.
00:41:41What have I done?
00:41:43Where is he?
00:41:44What about me?
00:41:46You had your chance 10 years ago.
00:41:49I need to go take care of my husband.
00:41:57Hello?
00:41:59Excuse me.
00:42:00Excuse me.
00:42:01Hi.
00:42:02Have you seen my husband?
00:42:04Please.
00:42:05He was the one bleeding out.
00:42:06I saw him stumble outside holding his head
00:42:08after he spoke to some older woman.
00:42:10He didn't come back in the...
00:42:12Oh, no.
00:42:16God damn it.
00:42:17Where are you?
00:42:18I'm sorry, but the number you are trying to reach
00:42:20is no longer in service.
00:42:22Please try again later.
00:42:23What have I done?
00:42:26Come on, Daniel.
00:42:38Answer me.
00:42:45He's not gone.
00:42:47I know Daniel wouldn't leave me.
00:42:56He loves me too much to abandon me
00:43:00when I need him the most.
00:43:01No.
00:43:05It's not possible.
00:43:07He will be back.
00:43:11No.
00:43:21Wait, it's all the assets.
00:43:23Climb zero, Castillo, or Jackson.
00:43:26The waves all spousal support.
00:43:29No.
00:43:30No, he can't leave me.
00:43:32He can't do this to me.
00:43:34I won't sign off on him.
00:43:45No.
00:43:47All this time,
00:43:49he's gonna leave me?
00:43:53It can't be.
00:44:08It's not her.
00:44:09Honestly, it doesn't matter.
00:44:11My mom will look it over anyways.
00:44:13He loves me.
00:44:15He loves Jackson.
00:44:17He wouldn't just leave us.
00:44:19We're his family.
00:44:20And after all these years,
00:44:23everything we've been through...
00:44:25I got you.
00:44:48Don't let me go!
00:44:49Was I ever really paying attention?
00:44:57Daniel?
00:44:58No, it's Mom.
00:44:59Is everything okay?
00:45:01He's not paying attention.
00:45:01Mom!
00:45:04Mom!
00:45:05Daniel!
00:45:06He just left us!
00:45:08Do you know where he is?
00:45:12We have to find him.
00:45:13We can check the hospital or the...
00:45:15Oh, honey.
00:45:17It's over.
00:45:19Daniel's not coming back.
00:45:21You knew?
00:45:22I'll come over in the morning
00:45:24and explain everything.
00:45:25I'm hungry!
00:45:35Dad!
00:45:36Breakfast should be ready by now!
00:45:39Jackson?
00:45:42I have something to tell you.
00:45:46Your dad?
00:45:49Your dad?
00:45:51He's left us.
00:45:52I'm sorry, but he's not coming back.
00:45:56Yay!
00:45:56He's gone!
00:45:57He's gone!
00:45:59Why would you say that?
00:46:01He was so embarrassing.
00:46:02Even Mr. Eastwood...
00:46:04Mr. Eastwood?
00:46:05What did Preston say?
00:46:07He said a pathetic pussy like that
00:46:09should stick to scrubbing toilets
00:46:11and raising a young man.
00:46:14He was so lame and boring.
00:46:17Now he's gone.
00:46:18Mr. Eastwood is way cooler.
00:46:21He can be my new dad.
00:46:22Jackson!
00:46:23You have a dad!
00:46:25And he's cared for you for seven years!
00:46:28Yeah, but I hate him!
00:46:36Hello?
00:46:37Do you have any news about Daniel?
00:46:39Ms. Donovan, it's your accountant.
00:46:41I noticed a few unusual transfers.
00:46:43I'm sorry, I don't have the time.
00:46:44Large sums have been wired
00:46:46to someone named Preston Eastwood.
00:46:49Was that done with your approval?
00:46:50No, but I'm not surprised.
00:46:53Flag his name.
00:46:54I want him frozen and cut off.
00:46:58Jackson, I don't want to ever hear you say
00:47:00Preston's name again.
00:47:02Okay?
00:47:03He's not the man you think he is.
00:47:05Your father,
00:47:06the one who raised you
00:47:07and cared about you,
00:47:08is out there.
00:47:09And we need to find him
00:47:10at all costs.
00:47:12What kind of coward
00:47:14abandons his family?
00:47:15Huh?
00:47:16It's despicable.
00:47:17I can't do this anymore.
00:47:20I'll cancel everything.
00:47:22The interviews
00:47:23and the red carpets.
00:47:24I don't want to be seen.
00:47:27I can't pretend.
00:47:29I just want him back.
00:47:31Honey,
00:47:33it's time to let him go.
00:47:35You don't love him anyway.
00:47:37And think about what Preston
00:47:39would do for your career.
00:47:44What?
00:47:45How could you say something like that?
00:47:47Of course I love Daniel.
00:47:50He cares for me.
00:47:51He sees me.
00:47:52He was there for me
00:47:54when Preston dropped me
00:47:55like I was nothing.
00:47:57But Daniel is a pathetic nobody.
00:48:00Daniel's my husband.
00:48:02I'm the father of my son.
00:48:04I am some husband
00:48:05abandoning you
00:48:06without a moment's notice,
00:48:07wanting nothing to do
00:48:08with his child
00:48:08just because I contrahanded.
00:48:11Contract?
00:48:13What contract?
00:48:18What are you talking about?
00:48:20Forget it.
00:48:21Forget it.
00:48:22Just pretend I didn't say anything.
00:48:24When I caught you and Daniel
00:48:26at the restaurant the other day,
00:48:28you said that he was going on a trip.
00:48:30Is there something
00:48:31you're not telling me?
00:48:32Please.
00:48:33I just want the truth.
00:48:35Mom.
00:48:37Fine.
00:48:38I will tell you the truth.
00:48:40But promise me
00:48:41you won't get mad.
00:48:45I'll tell you the truth,
00:48:46Sabrina.
00:48:48But no,
00:48:50it was all for your own good.
00:48:54When Preston left you,
00:48:56you were distraught.
00:48:58I had to save you.
00:48:59She's lost without you, Daniel.
00:49:04You've always been there for her.
00:49:06From film school to now.
00:49:08I've seen it.
00:49:09She needs you.
00:49:11Stay.
00:49:12Marry her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:13Love her.
00:49:14So that she's never alone again.
00:49:16It was all just some sort of obligation.
00:49:23It was all just some sort of obligation.
00:49:26How could you do this to me?
00:49:29I wanted to protect you.
00:49:30You wanted to control me.
00:49:32All because you needed me for my career,
00:49:35my money.
00:49:36Well,
00:49:36it worked, didn't it?
00:49:37You were about to throw yourself off a rooftop.
00:49:45Daniel did what he was meant to do.
00:49:48He kept you together.
00:49:50Where?
00:49:51Where did he go?
00:49:52I know he told you where he went.
00:49:54Where is he?
00:49:55You can do better than him.
00:49:57You are Sabrina Donovan,
00:50:00Hollywood starlet.
00:50:02Believe me,
00:50:02it's for the best.
00:50:04No!
00:50:05He can't be gone.
00:50:06He can't!
00:50:07Yes,
00:50:08he is gone,
00:50:08and he is gone forever.
00:50:11He can't be!
00:50:12He can't be gone!
00:50:13He can't!
00:50:14I'm live at the highly anticipated premiere
00:50:36of how the tame silver box
00:50:38that's already generated a considerable buzz
00:50:40for its new writer-director.
00:50:44Speaking of which,
00:50:45there he is now,
00:50:46Mr. Daniel Johnson.
00:50:50Daniel,
00:50:51your film received the Palme d'Or
00:50:53at the Cannes Film Festival.
00:50:55What's going through your head tonight?
00:50:57Honestly,
00:50:58I'm just trying not to trip over my own feet.
00:51:01Nobody told me how.
00:51:02Oh, man,
00:51:03how comfortable these designer shoes would be.
00:51:05I've heard this talk of a sequel.
00:51:08Yeah,
00:51:09God,
00:51:10my career has been a long time in the making,
00:51:12and I've been a very honest,
00:51:14about it, actually.
00:51:15I almost gave up the dream,
00:51:17but London,
00:51:19London lit the fire under me,
00:51:20and I feel like I found my voice,
00:51:22and it really is.
00:51:24Full steam ahead.
00:51:25Speaking of London,
00:51:26since you're an American writer-director,
00:51:28will you be making your way back to Hollywood?
00:51:33Hollywood.
00:51:34Get out of the country.
00:51:36If I so much as see your name next to my daughters in a tabloid,
00:51:41I will make your life a living hell.
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:46Daniel?
00:51:47He's no good at bragging about himself,
00:52:03so I'll do it for him.
00:52:04Daniel is a true auteur,
00:52:07and a creative genius,
00:52:09and it was a privilege to be his leading lady.
00:52:12That's not a light compliment coming from Emily Blake,
00:52:15two-time Golden Globe Award-winning actress
00:52:17and celebrated alumni of the Royal Shakespeare Company.
00:52:20Well,
00:52:21I've heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:52:24We'll never tell.
00:52:25She was practically eye-fucking you.
00:52:33I know.
00:52:34Jeez.
00:52:35This is so surreal.
00:52:36I mean,
00:52:36I can't believe this has happened to me.
00:52:38I can.
00:52:40The moment I read your script,
00:52:41I knew you were special.
00:52:44Daniel,
00:52:45enjoy this,
00:52:47and get used to compliments.
00:52:50There's already Oscar buzz.
00:52:52Fuck.
00:52:53Finish me,
00:52:53I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:52:55You okay?
00:52:59You always do that when you're nervous.
00:53:01I know it's, um,
00:53:02I'll have it.
00:53:04Well,
00:53:05the world's about to meet its new favourite filmmaker.
00:53:09Zelda's just got a head start.
00:53:22And,
00:53:23what price is good price?
00:53:25Daniel becomes an award-winning director,
00:53:33and he's cheating on me with a BAFTA-winning bitch?
00:53:36Ugh.
00:53:38You can't do this to me!
00:53:40Sabrina.
00:53:41You don't need him.
00:53:42Let him have his 15 minutes of fame.
00:53:44How can he move on to that uptight British bitch?
00:53:46Bitch!
00:53:47Move on.
00:53:49Please, honey.
00:53:50He is using her.
00:53:52Why do you think he signed the contract in the first place, hmm?
00:53:55He wanted to start his career under the Donovan name.
00:53:58How could you say that?
00:53:59I mean,
00:54:00if anything,
00:54:01being with me hurt his career.
00:54:03He's proving that to the whole world!
00:54:06Don't you see it?
00:54:07Sabrina.
00:54:08Look at what you've got.
00:54:10A celebrated career,
00:54:12a mansion in the hills,
00:54:14an adorable kid.
00:54:16Well,
00:54:16when he's not whining.
00:54:18And don't forget about Preston,
00:54:19your dream man.
00:54:21You have everything.
00:54:23I don't have him.
00:54:26Mom,
00:54:26I'm hungry.
00:54:27Go have the chef make something.
00:54:29No,
00:54:29I hate what she cooks,
00:54:31and I'm tired of chicken nuggets.
00:54:32Why can't you just hire Daniel back?
00:54:34Don't talk about him like that.
00:54:36He's your dad.
00:54:37No!
00:54:38Preston is my real dad now.
00:54:40Daniel's just a guy who made me snacks
00:54:42and cleaned the toilet.
00:54:43It was fun telling him what to do.
00:54:45When did he get so cruel?
00:54:48You see,
00:54:49even your own son thinks Daniel's a pathetic pushover.
00:54:52A doormat.
00:54:54Daniel's a doormat!
00:54:55Daniel's a doormat!
00:54:57Enough!
00:54:58You little shit!
00:55:01Enough!
00:55:02Just enough!
00:55:04Sabrina?
00:55:05What's gotten into you?
00:55:07Don't tell me you are actually heartbroken over that man.
00:55:10Whoa.
00:55:11What's going on here?
00:55:13This room feels really tense.
00:55:14Mom just yelled at me for no reason.
00:55:17I was just making fun of Daniel.
00:55:18No!
00:55:19I yelled at you because you're making fun of your father.
00:55:22And if you keep talking like that,
00:55:24I'm going to put you in a timeout.
00:55:25It's time that you stop acting like a spoiled little brat!
00:55:32Hey, babe.
00:55:33Are you really going to get mad at Jackson for, what,
00:55:36making fun of that fucking loser?
00:55:37Really?
00:55:38Loser?
00:55:39Yeah.
00:55:39You haven't had a job in over a year, Preston.
00:55:43And you've been mooching off from me and ordering my staff around like you're their boss.
00:55:48That's really, really low.
00:55:54Especially after everything I've done to help you with your brand and keeping it from collapsing in the last year?
00:56:00Come on, we're America's power couple.
00:56:02To be a power couple, you both have to have power.
00:56:05Face it, Preston.
00:56:06You're using me to hide the fact that you're washed up.
00:56:09And you're a fucking thief.
00:56:12Yeah, I know you're bankrupt.
00:56:14You've been stealing from me all year long.
00:56:17I could have you arrested, but I haven't.
00:56:20Because you know what?
00:56:21Honestly, I pity you.
00:56:22It's not like that, okay?
00:56:24Look, I was just merging things like couples do.
00:56:27I want to marry you.
00:56:29We're legacy Hollywood fucking royalty.
00:56:31What's my birthday?
00:56:33Huh?
00:56:34What kind of flowers do I like?
00:56:36What's my favorite color?
00:56:37My favorite song?
00:56:38Oh, what's my favorite goddamn movie?
00:56:41Oh, oh, wait.
00:56:42What's my fucking middle name?
00:56:44You don't give a shit about me.
00:56:47You don't love me.
00:56:48You don't even know me.
00:56:50This isn't a relationship.
00:56:52This is a publicity stunt.
00:56:55And you know what?
00:56:56I'm done.
00:56:57Get out.
00:56:58I don't want to ever see you again.
00:57:00We're over.
00:57:02We're over.
00:57:03No, babe, babe, come on.
00:57:05Please, please, I love you.
00:57:06Just think about it.
00:57:08Look at the press.
00:57:09What this will look like.
00:57:11If I have to call my security, all of this will get a lot uglier.
00:57:15Get out.
00:57:16Hey, just...
00:57:16Now.
00:57:17Just give me your hand.
00:57:18Come on.
00:57:19No.
00:57:20I'm so alone, Daniel.
00:57:23Nobody sees the real me.
00:57:25I see you, Sabrina.
00:57:25I see all of you.
00:57:29And you're never heard that your relationship wasn't just professional.
00:57:33We'll never tell.
00:57:34Oh, my God.
00:57:39He truly loved me.
00:57:42I know.
00:57:43Jeez.
00:57:44This is so surreal.
00:57:45I mean, I can't believe this is happening to me.
00:57:47I can.
00:57:48The moment I read your script, I knew you were special.
00:57:53Daniel.
00:57:55Enjoy this.
00:57:56And get used to compliments.
00:57:59There's already Oscar buzz.
00:58:01Fuck.
00:58:02Finish me, I know.
00:58:03I feel like I'm dreaming.
00:58:06You okay?
00:58:08You're the sexiest man alive.
00:58:10Is that all you care about?
00:58:12I'll have it.
00:58:12Well, the world's about to meet its new favorite filmmaker.
00:58:18So the world's just got a head start.
00:58:31I think that price is good price.
00:58:42You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Lee.
00:58:46I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:58:48In film school, we were literally told to watch every single film that you ever produced.
00:58:54I mean, you know this.
00:58:55You're a legend.
00:58:57I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:58:58All right, let me cut to the chase.
00:59:00You're a powerhouse sitting idol in the wrong country.
00:59:03I appreciate the compliment, but I mean, I'm doing all right.
00:59:05I got projects.
00:59:05Come on.
00:59:06You're built for billion-dollar franchises, Hollywood blockbusters,
00:59:10the one that gets made in L.A., not London.
00:59:12That's where you belong.
00:59:15To be honest, I already did L.A.
00:59:17It didn't really end well.
00:59:19Let me guess.
00:59:20My girl?
00:59:21If by a girl, he means Hollywood royalty, Sabrina Donovan.
00:59:26You don't walk away from a gift like yours over some heartbreak.
00:59:29You can become a household name, and I can get you there.
00:59:33You've given me a lot to think about.
00:59:34Three-picture deal.
00:59:36$200 million budget each.
00:59:37Creative control and final cut approval.
00:59:40I don't know what to say.
00:59:41Just say yes.
00:59:42You have my number.
00:59:44Just don't keep me waiting.
00:59:46Just remember, Daniel.
00:59:47You can't run away from the past.
00:59:49You have to face it and tell the fuck off.
01:00:02Hey, it's been a while.
01:00:05Can we talk?
01:00:06Daniel, can you give us a hint about your first movie with Crazy Maple Studio?
01:00:11Of course.
01:00:12It's about a man who gets fucked over by America's sweetheart and comes out on top.
01:00:17Is this a personal story?
01:00:19Will we get a hint at who the mystery woman is?
01:00:22Oh, she knows who she is.
01:00:28I'll leave it at that.
01:00:31You arrogant little shit.
01:00:34I told you if you ever sat put in this fucking country, I would unleash a world of hell.
01:00:38It's less, Donovan.
01:00:45I need a favor.
01:00:46I need you to track down Daniel Johnson and find out where he'll be around 8 o'clock tonight.
01:00:52It's time for a little reunion with Hollywood's newest hotshot.
01:00:57Mom?
01:00:58What are you doing?
01:00:58Did you just break my TV?
01:01:04Can you give us a name for your upcoming film?
01:01:08You know how I'm supposed to do that?
01:01:10You've been so kind, though.
01:01:11It's called You Drive Me Crazy.
01:01:16He's back.
01:01:18Why didn't you tell me?
01:01:20Honey, I didn't want you spiraling again.
01:01:23I'm not a fragile little girl anymore.
01:01:26I need to get on that movie.
01:01:27Absolutely not.
01:01:29You're not working for your ex-husband.
01:01:31If you don't get me an audition, then I will get a manager who will.
01:01:35Oh, honey.
01:01:35I'm just looking out for you.
01:01:37He still loves me.
01:01:40He has to.
01:01:42I just need to talk to him.
01:01:44Let him go.
01:01:48Mom.
01:01:50Honey, I...
01:01:52You know I just want what's best for you, right?
01:01:55I just don't want to see my little girl hurt again.
01:02:00I love you.
01:02:02I love you, too.
01:02:06There you go.
01:02:07This is, um, it's another movie deal.
01:02:11I'll tell you about it after.
01:02:13Did you get his location?
01:02:30The Oaks.
01:02:328 p.m.
01:02:34After I'm done with him, Daniel Johnson won't just be blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:02:39He'll be erased from Sabrina's life forever.
01:02:41She's not protecting me.
01:02:52She's protecting her business.
01:02:54And I'm just a pawn.
01:02:56But if she wants a scandal, she'll get one.
01:02:59It's so nice having you back.
01:03:03And I don't just mean from the UK.
01:03:05Yeah, it's been a rough couple years, hasn't it?
01:03:07A couple?
01:03:09Daniel, it was 10 years of you slaving away for those people.
01:03:13If you can even call them that.
01:03:14You're healthy now.
01:03:15And I'm at the top of my career.
01:03:18I mean, yeah, there was a time that I loved Sabrina, but I really thought I could make it work.
01:03:22To marriage, to kids.
01:03:25I mean, we really tried.
01:03:26I thought I could make it go for it, but it's over.
01:03:32It's over.
01:03:33I mean, let her chase whatever fantasy she thinks Preston Eastwood could offer.
01:03:36Oh, you haven't heard?
01:03:48She dumped him.
01:03:49It was all over People Magazine.
01:03:51She ended it when his star faded.
01:03:55Oh my gosh, it was.
01:04:02Daniel!
01:04:05Stop!
01:04:06Sabina, what are you doing here?
01:04:15I'm here to help you.
01:04:17Sabrina, we are making a scene.
01:04:20Let's go home.
01:04:21Sabrina?
01:04:22How could you?
01:04:23What?
01:04:23I just came to ask Daniel if he'd let you audition, but he said no.
01:04:27I begged and pleaded.
01:04:29Stop lying.
01:04:31I saw you bribe the waiter to drug Daniel's drink.
01:04:34And I'll bet you called the paparazzi, too, to catch him drugged out of his mind and ruin him.
01:04:40My God, you're disgusting.
01:04:42I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:44I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:04:44Not anymore.
01:04:46Why did you become such a conniving, scheming snake?
01:04:50I don't even know who you are anymore.
01:04:53I'm your mother.
01:04:55I only want what's best for you.
01:04:59What's best for me?
01:05:02You've been controlling my life ever since you knew you could profit from it.
01:05:06And that all ends today.
01:05:12You're fired.
01:05:14Fired.
01:05:16No.
01:05:19No.
01:05:24No.
01:05:25You can't do this to me.
01:05:27Please.
01:05:27Please, sweetie.
01:05:28I have dedicated my life to you.
01:05:30You dedicated your life to money and to fame.
01:05:33I was just who you used to get to it.
01:05:38You think you can survive on sheer talent?
01:05:41There's a thousand girls more talented than you waiting for their shot.
01:05:44I made you.
01:05:46You'd be nothing without me.
01:05:50I think she'll do just fine.
01:05:52We're done here, Mom.
01:06:01If you want any chance to be in Jackson's life or in mine, you'll leave now.
01:06:08Without another word.
01:06:09I have something to say.
01:06:24I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:26I'm sorry I took you for granted all of those years.
01:06:30I'm sorry I let my mom manipulate and use you.
01:06:34I'm sorry I brought Preston into our home and poisoned our son towards you.
01:06:44Apologize to your father.
01:06:46Do I have to?
01:06:47Who raised you?
01:06:50Cared for you?
01:06:53Packed your lunches when I was on set?
01:06:56Laid with you when you had nightmares and coddled you when you were sick?
01:07:00He did.
01:07:02He loved you.
01:07:03But you treated him like he was nothing.
01:07:05I was wrong.
01:07:07Jackson, he gave us ten years of his life and we abused it.
01:07:12And now there is nothing we can do to take that back.
01:07:16I'm sorry, Dad.
01:07:20It's going to be okay, son.
01:07:23I love you.
01:07:24Okay.
01:07:25Come on, Jackson.
01:07:26Let's go.
01:07:27Let's go.
01:07:33I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:07:36For everything.
01:07:41I know that look, Daniel.
01:07:49You're thinking of going back to them.
01:07:51I just didn't know it would be this hard.
01:07:56They hurt you, Daniel.
01:07:59They tore you to pieces and then just expected you to come running back.
01:08:06People can change.
01:08:09But that doesn't change the past.
01:08:10And the Oscar goes to Daniel Johnson for his original screenplay, Loving Her.
01:08:22Daniel!
01:08:23Daniel!
01:08:23Daniel!
01:08:24I'm here, Daniel!
01:08:25Daniel, is it true that the script that won you Oscars for both writing and directing sat on a shelf for ten years?
01:08:31Yes.
01:08:31I'll admit I got a little sidelined, but I think I've found my way back.
01:08:38But, okay, I'll tell you this.
01:08:41I don't think you can truly love someone else until you love yourself.
01:08:51Way to go, John!
01:09:01Thank you so much for considering me for this part.
01:09:14We'll keep in touch.
01:09:21What do we have today?
01:09:23Forty.
01:09:24Sorry.
01:09:24Jesus.
01:09:25Hey, boy!
01:09:26How are we looking?
01:09:27Still digging?
01:09:29No one's cracked the lead yet.
01:09:31I mean, this film lives or dies by a female lead.
01:09:36All right, here's the deal.
01:09:37The studio's on my ass looking to lock in the lead today.
01:09:41Today?
01:09:42Are you fucking kidding me?
01:09:43That's why I love you, man.
01:09:44Cool under pressure.
01:09:46This movie is gonna blow the roof off.
01:09:52Oh, my God.
01:09:53All right, just printing the next one.
01:09:55So that would be...
01:09:57Emily Blake.
01:10:01Emily.
01:10:06Emily.
01:10:07Amazing, as always.
01:10:09You flew in all the way from London for this?
01:10:12Please.
01:10:14I was gonna miss a shot to audition for the great Daniel Johnson.
01:10:18How's LA treating you?
01:10:19Oh, my God.
01:10:21Less tea, but way more traffic.
01:10:24But I am...
01:10:25I'm glad to be back.
01:10:28Well, it's no English countryside.
01:10:29Yeah.
01:10:30But it suits you.
01:10:33You definitely belong here.
01:10:37I do miss you, though.
01:10:40It was fun.
01:10:41Playing the part.
01:10:43British starlet.
01:10:44American director.
01:10:45I kept waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:51Waiting for us to become something real.
01:10:54I'm sorry, Emily.
01:10:56It just cost me.
01:10:58And we'll call it even.
01:10:59You...
01:11:00You were amazing, as always.
01:11:02It's just...
01:11:04It's just not quite what I'm looking for.
01:11:07I never was, was I?
01:11:11Anyways...
01:11:12Got a few more auditions while I'm in town.
01:11:16Maybe I'll see you around.
01:11:18Yeah.
01:11:30Give me a copy, and you know what?
01:11:32Go get one for yourself, too.
01:11:33And be generous with the sugar.
01:11:42Oh, my God.
01:11:44What am I going to do?
01:11:51That was quick.
01:11:52What are you doing here?
01:12:05I came to audition.
01:12:09Did you bring any representation?
01:12:11No.
01:12:12I fired my manager, remember?
01:12:15I need you.
01:12:15You'd be nothing without me.
01:12:20I don't have been.
01:12:22Don't let me go!
01:12:26I got you.
01:12:27I'll never let you go.
01:12:31Are you okay?
01:12:32Yeah.
01:12:32It's an old wound that, um...
01:12:35Never really healed.
01:12:39I understand.
01:12:43Daniel Johnson.
01:12:46Nice to meet you.
01:12:50Please.
01:12:50Thanks.
01:12:59After you're ready...
