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

00:55:18about me.
00:55:19You don't love me.
00:55:20You don't even know me.
00:55:22This isn't a relationship.
00:55:24This is a publicity stunt.
00:55:27And you know what?
00:55:28I'm done.
00:55:29Get out.
00:55:30I don't want to
00:55:31ever see you again.
00:55:32We're over.
00:55:34We're over.

00:55:41What does it look like?
00:55:42If I have to call my security,
00:55:45all of this will get
00:55:45a lot uglier.
00:55:47Get out.
00:55:48Now.

00:55:57Sabrina.
00:55:58I see all of you.
00:56:00And you're never
00:56:01going to be alone again.
00:56:03He truly knew me.
00:56:07He loved me.
00:56:09Every flaw,
00:56:11every fear,
00:56:12contract or not,
00:56:14he truly loved me.
00:56:16I saved you
00:56:17from social suicide.
00:56:18Saved me?
00:56:20You don't even know
00:56:21how ironic that is.
00:56:23Daniel saved me
00:56:24from the ledge.
00:56:25And he saved me
00:56:26from you.
00:56:28Security!

00:56:40Was that really necessary?
00:56:42I mean,
00:56:43he still is
00:56:43a Hollywood A-lister
00:56:44and people's
00:56:45sexiest man alive.
00:56:46Is that all
00:56:47you care about?
00:56:48The fame,
00:56:49the headlines,
00:56:50the brand deals?
00:56:51God,
00:56:52you're supposed
00:56:53to be my mother first,
00:56:55not some money-grubbing manager.
00:56:57Sabrina,
00:56:58you are being dramatic.
00:57:00Of course
00:57:01I care about you.
00:57:02I love you.
00:57:04Then prove it.
00:57:05If you ever want me
00:57:07in front of a camera again,
00:57:08then you will help me
00:57:09get Daniel back.
00:57:23You'll have to forgive me,
00:57:24Mr. Lee.
00:57:24I'm kind of in shock right now.
00:57:27In film school,
00:57:28we were literally told
00:57:29to watch every single film
00:57:31that you ever produced.
00:57:32I mean,
00:57:33you know this.
00:57:34You're a legend.
00:57:35I appreciate it, Daniel.
00:57:37All right,
00:57:37let me cut to the chase.
00:57:38You're a powerhouse-sitting idol
00:57:39in the wrong country.
00:57:41I appreciate the compliment,
00:57:42but I mean,
00:57:42I'm doing all right.
00:57:43I got projects.
00:57:44Come on!
00:57:45You're built
00:57:45for billion-dollar franchises,
00:57:47Hollywood blockbusters,
00:57:48the one that gets made in L.A.,
00:57:49not London.
00:57:50That's where you belong.
00:57:53To be honest,
00:57:53I already did all I...
00:57:55It didn't really end well.
00:57:56Let me guess.
00:57:57A girl?
00:57:59If by a girl,
00:58:00he means
00:58:01Hollywood royalty,
00:58:02Sabrina Donovan.
00:58:04You don't walk away
00:58:04from a gift like yours
00:58:05over some heartbreak.
00:58:07You can become a household name,
00:58:08and I can get you there.
00:58:11You've given me
00:58:11a lot to think about.
00:58:12Three-picture deal.
00:58:13Two-hundred-million-dollar
00:58:14budget each.
00:58:15Creative control
00:58:16and final cut approval.
00:58:17I don't know what to say.
00:58:18Just say yes.
00:58:19You have my number.
00:58:21Just don't keep me waiting.
00:58:23Just remember, Daniel,
00:58:24you can't run away
00:58:25from the past.
00:58:26You have to face it
00:58:27and tell the fuck off.
00:58:39Hey, it's been a while.
00:58:42Can we talk?
00:58:44Daniel, can you give us a hint
00:58:46about your first movie
00:58:47with Crazy Maple Studio?
00:58:48Of course.
00:58:49It's about a man
00:58:50who gets fucked over
00:58:51by America's sweetheart
00:58:52and comes out on top.
00:58:54Is this a personal story?
00:58:56Will we get a hint
00:58:57at who the mystery woman is?
00:58:59Oh...
00:59:00She knows who she is.
00:59:03Um, I'll leave it at that.
00:59:07You arrogant little shit!
00:59:09I told you
00:59:11if you ever set foot
00:59:12in this fucking country,
00:59:13I would unleash
00:59:14a world of hell.
00:59:19It's Celeste Donovan.
00:59:21I need a favor.
00:59:22I need you to track down
00:59:23Daniel Johnson
00:59:24and find out where he'll be
00:59:25around eight o'clock tonight.
00:59:28It's time for a little reunion
00:59:30with Hollywood's
00:59:30newest hotshot.
00:59:31Mom, what are you doing?
00:59:38Did you just break my TV?
00:59:40Can you give us a name
00:59:41for your upcoming film?
00:59:43You know I'm not supposed
00:59:44to do that.
00:59:45You've been so kind, though.
00:59:46Um, it's called
00:59:47You Drive Me Crazy.
00:59:51He's back.
00:59:54Why didn't you tell me?
00:59:56Honey, I didn't want you
00:59:57spiraling again.
00:59:58I'm not a fragile
00:59:59little girl anymore.
01:00:01I need to get on that movie.
01:00:03Absolutely not.
01:00:04You're not working
01:00:05for your ex-husband.
01:00:06If you don't get me
01:00:07an audition,
01:00:08then I will get
01:00:08a manager who will.
01:00:09Oh, honey.
01:00:10I'm just looking out for you.
01:00:12He still loves me.
01:00:14He has to.
01:00:17I just need to talk to him.
01:00:19Let him go.
01:00:22Mom.
01:00:24Honey, I...
01:00:25You know I just want
01:00:28what's best for you, right?
01:00:30I just don't want to see
01:00:31my little girl hurt again.
01:00:34I love you.
01:00:36I love you, too.
01:00:40Here we go.
01:00:43This is, um...
01:00:44It's another movie deal.
01:00:45I'll tell you about it after.
01:00:47Okay.
01:00:47Okay.
01:00:48Did you get his location?
01:01:04The Oaks.
01:01:058 p.m.
01:01:07After I'm done with him,
01:01:09Daniel Johnson won't just be
01:01:10blacklisted by Hollywood.
01:01:12He'll be erased from
01:01:13Sabrina's life forever.
01:01:14She's not protecting me.
01:01:25She's protecting her business.
01:01:27And I'm just a pawn.
01:01:29But if she wants a scandal,
01:01:31she'll get one.
01:01:33So nice having you back.
01:01:36And I don't just mean
01:01:37from the UK.
01:01:38Yeah, it's been a rough
01:01:39couple of years, hasn't it?
01:01:40A couple?
01:01:40Daniel, it was 10 years
01:01:43of you slaving away
01:01:44for those people,
01:01:45if you can even call them that.
01:01:47But you're healthy now.
01:01:48And I'm at the top
01:01:49of my career.
01:01:50I mean, yeah,
01:01:51there was a time
01:01:51that I loved Sabrina,
01:01:53but I really thought
01:01:54I could make it work.
01:01:55The marriage, the kids.
01:01:57I mean, we really tried.
01:01:59I thought I could
01:01:59make it go for it,
01:02:00but, um...
01:02:02It's over.
01:02:04It's over.
01:02:05I mean, let her chase
01:02:06whatever fantasy she thinks
01:02:07pressed Cindy Swick can offer.
01:02:08Oh, you haven't heard?
01:02:19She dumped him.
01:02:21It was all over
01:02:22People magazine.
01:02:23She ended it
01:02:23when his star faded.
01:02:26Oh, my God.
01:02:27What?
01:02:33Daniel!
01:02:37Stop!
01:02:38Sabrina, what are you doing here?
01:02:47I'm here to help you.
01:02:48Sabrina,
01:02:49we are making a scene.
01:02:51Let's go home.
01:02:52Sabrina?
01:02:53How could you?
01:02:54What?
01:02:54I just came to ask Daniel
01:02:56if he'd let you audition,
01:02:57but he said no.
01:02:58I begged and pleaded.
01:03:00Stop lying!
01:03:01I saw you bribe the waiter
01:03:03to drug Daniel's drink.
01:03:06And I'll bet you called
01:03:06the paparazzi, too,
01:03:08to catch him drugged
01:03:09out of his mind
01:03:10and ruin him.
01:03:11My God.
01:03:12You're disgusting.
01:03:13I'm a manager, Daniel.
01:03:15Not anymore.
01:03:16Why did you become
01:03:17such a conniving,
01:03:19scheming snake?
01:03:21I don't even know
01:03:22who you are anymore.
01:03:23I'm your mother.
01:03:26I only want
01:03:27what's best for you.
01:03:29What's best for me?
01:03:32You've been controlling
01:03:33my life ever since you knew
01:03:35you could profit from it.
01:03:37That all ends today.
01:03:41You're fired.
01:03:44You're fired.
01:03:45You're fired.
01:03:46No.
01:03:49No.
01:03:53No.
01:03:55You can't do this to me.
01:03:56Please.
01:03:57Please, sweetie.
01:03:58I have dedicated
01:03:59my life to you.
01:03:59You dedicated your life
01:04:01to money and to fame.
01:04:04I was just who
01:04:05you used to get to it.
01:04:07You think you can survive
01:04:08on sheer talent?
01:04:10There's a thousand girls
01:04:11more talented than you
01:04:12waiting for their shot.
01:04:13I made you.
01:04:15You'd be nothing
01:04:15without me!
01:04:19I think she'll do
01:04:20just fine.
01:04:27We're done here, Mom.
01:04:29If you want any chance
01:04:31to be in Jackson's life
01:04:32or in mine,
01:04:34you'll leave now.
01:04:36Without another word.
01:04:38I have something to say.
01:04:52I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:04:55I'm sorry I took you
01:04:56for granted
01:04:56all of those years.
01:04:58I'm sorry I let my mom
01:05:00manipulate and use you.
01:05:02I'm sorry I brought
01:05:04Preston into our home
01:05:06and poisoned our son
01:05:08towards you.
01:05:12Apologize to your father.
01:05:13Do I have to?
01:05:15Who raised you?
01:05:18Cared for you?
01:05:20Packed your lunches
01:05:22when I was on set?
01:05:24Laid with you
01:05:24when you had nightmares
01:05:25and coddled you
01:05:26when you were sick?
01:05:28He did.
01:05:29He loved you.
01:05:30But you treated him
01:05:31like he was nothing.
01:05:32I was wrong.
01:05:34Jackson,
01:05:35he gave us
01:05:36ten years of his life
01:05:37and we abused it.
01:05:39And now there is
01:05:40nothing we can do
01:05:41to take that back.
01:05:43I'm sorry, Dad.
01:05:44It's going to be okay, son.
01:05:49I still love you.
01:05:51Okay.
01:05:52Come on, Jackson.
01:05:53Let's go.
01:06:00I'm sorry, Daniel.
01:06:03For everything.
01:06:03I know that look, Daniel.
01:06:15You're thinking
01:06:16of going back to them.
01:06:17Oh.
01:06:20I just didn't know
01:06:21it would be this hard.
01:06:22They hurt you, Daniel.
01:06:25They tore you to pieces
01:06:26and then just expected
01:06:28you to come running back.
01:06:32People can change.
01:06:34But that doesn't
01:06:35change the past.
01:06:40And the Oscar goes to
01:06:41Daniel Johnson
01:06:43for his original screenplay,
01:06:45Loving Her.
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:48Daniel!
01:06:49Daniel!
01:06:49It's awesome.
01:06:50Here, Daniel.
01:06:51Daniel, is it true
01:06:52that the script
01:06:52that won you Oscars
01:06:53for both writing
01:06:54and directing
01:06:54sat on the shelf
01:06:55for ten years?
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:57I'll admit,
01:06:58I got a little sidelined,
01:06:59but I think
01:07:01I found my way back.
01:07:03But, okay.
01:07:04I'll tell you this.
01:07:06I don't think
01:07:07you can truly
01:07:08love someone else
01:07:09until
01:07:10you love yourself.
01:07:16Way to go, Jan!
01:07:17Thank you so much
01:07:35for considering me
01:07:36for this part.
01:07:38We'll keep in touch.
01:07:39How many more
01:07:46do we have today?
01:07:4740, sir.
01:07:48Jesus.
01:07:49Yay, boy!
01:07:50How are we looking?
01:07:51We're still digging.
01:07:52Damn it.
01:07:52Um, no one's cracked
01:07:54the lead yet.
01:07:56I mean,
01:07:57this film lives or dies
01:07:58by the female lead.
01:07:59All right, here's the deal.
01:08:00The studio's on my ass
01:08:02looking to lock in
01:08:02the lead today.
01:08:04Today?
01:08:05Are you fucking kidding me?
01:08:07That's why I love you, man.
01:08:08Cool under pressure.
01:08:09This movie
01:08:10is gonna blow
01:08:11the roof off.
01:08:15Oh, my God.
01:08:16All right, just
01:08:16bring in the next one.
01:08:18That would be
01:08:19Emily Blake.
01:08:24Emily.
01:08:29Emily.
01:08:30Amazing, as always.
01:08:32You flew in
01:08:33all the way
01:08:34from London for this?
01:08:35Please.
01:08:36I wasn't gonna miss a shot
01:08:37who auditioned
01:08:38for the great
01:08:38Daniel Johnson.
01:08:41How's LA treating you?
01:08:43Oh, my God.
01:08:44Less tea,
01:08:44but way more traffic.
01:08:46But I am...
01:08:48I'm glad to be back.
01:08:50Well, it's no
01:08:50English countryside.
01:08:52Yeah.
01:08:52But it suits you.
01:08:55You definitely belong here.
01:08:59I do miss you, though.
01:09:02It was fun.
01:09:03Playing the part.
01:09:05British starlet.
01:09:06American director.
01:09:08I kept waiting for us
01:09:10to become something real.
01:09:13Waiting for us
01:09:14to become something real.
01:09:15I'm sorry, Emily.
01:09:18It just costs me,
01:09:19and we'll call it even.
01:09:21You...
01:09:21You were amazing,
01:09:22as always.
01:09:24It's just...
01:09:25It's just not quite
01:09:27what I'm looking for.
01:09:30I never was,
01:09:31was I?
01:09:32Anyways...
01:09:33Got a few more auditions
01:09:35while I'm in town.
01:09:37Maybe I'll see you around?
01:09:38Yeah.
01:09:39Give me coffee,
01:09:52and you know what?
01:09:52Go get one for yourself, too.
01:09:56And be generous with the sugar.
01:09:57Oh, my God.
01:10:04What am I gonna do?
01:10:11That was quick.
01:10:12Oh, God.
01:10:13What are you doing here?
01:10:25I came to audition.
01:10:29Did you bring any representation?
01:10:31No.
01:10:32I fired my manager, remember?
01:10:35I'm starting fresh.
01:10:38Right, um...
01:10:38Hi.
01:10:42I'm Sabrina Donovan.

01:10:53Are you okay?
01:10:54Yeah.
01:10:55It's an old wound that, um...
01:10:58never really healed.
01:11:01I understand.
