00:00:00For 25 years, I was my husband's ghost writer.
00:00:05I helped him become a best-selling author.
00:00:07But while I wrote page after page, he betrayed me.
00:00:13He was having an affair with another woman.
00:00:15And how did I find out?
00:00:17A kiss cam that caught them at a concert.
00:00:20He humiliated me in front of the whole world.
00:00:2425 years of marriage.
00:00:27Gone.
00:00:28Just like that.
00:00:33Have fun at the Real Play concert.
00:00:35I wish I could join you.
00:00:37Especially since tonight's our anniversary.
00:00:41It's a work thing, honey.
00:00:42Besides, you don't even like their music.
00:00:45Oh, actually, I do like...
00:00:46Honey, I gotta go.
00:00:48Can't wait for dinner.
00:00:48Make me something delicious.
00:00:52Okay, honey.
00:00:58Dan, Jonathan's new book is a masterpiece.
00:01:09If I were to guess, I'd say you probably had a pretty heavy part in writing the book.
00:01:13The least he could do is give us some credit, right?
00:01:15Henry, you know I don't like the spotlight.
00:01:17Plus, Jonathan's my husband.
00:01:19What's mine is his and vice versa.
00:01:21I've already prepared everything for Jonathan to take over at CU.
00:01:25Dan, what I publish is your family business.
00:01:27I'm just looking over it on your behalf.
00:01:29We'll talk about this later.
00:01:30Gotta run, Henry.
00:01:31Have to call Jonathan to see what time he's coming home.
00:01:33That's weird.
00:01:48The concert should be over by now.
00:01:54Don't you want to answer your wife's call?
00:01:56She's so annoying.
00:01:58She cannot go a single day without calling to blab about some unimportant shit.
00:02:03Hang on, baby.
00:02:06Yes, honey.
00:02:08I just wanted to know if you'd be back soon.
00:02:11Dinner's almost ready.
00:02:12Okay, yes.
00:02:12I will be right home, honey.
00:02:16All right.
00:02:18When was the last time you fucked your wife, Jonathan?
00:02:22It has been years.
00:02:25I can't stand her body anymore.
00:02:27Especially now that I have someone like you.
00:02:31You better be telling the truth.
00:02:31Oh, I swear on my life that you are the only woman I know.
00:02:40Fuck!
00:02:42Okay.
00:02:43Either they are having an affair or just really, really shy.
00:02:46Okay, I got it.
00:02:47Baby, I'm going to go.
00:02:48I'm going to catch you later.
00:02:49Okay.
00:02:50But you better divorce her soon.
00:02:52I'm sick of this.
00:02:54Olivia, I need you to hurry home.
00:02:55I need you to cover me in front of mom in case something goes wrong.
00:02:58No, I'm going to explain when I get home.
00:02:59Just hurry home.
00:03:03Hi, honey.
00:03:04You're back.
00:03:06And just in time, dinner's ready.
00:03:08How was the concert?
00:03:09Was it fun?
00:03:10No, not really.
00:03:11You know how these work things are.
00:03:12Mm-hmm.
00:03:13Well, maybe next time I should join you, then it'll be more fun.
00:03:17Oh, come on.
00:03:17Let me have your coat.
00:03:18Oh, Olivia called.
00:03:28She said she'll be back soon.
00:03:31Oh, my God.
00:03:31Wait.
00:03:32That looks just like famous author Jonathan Asher.
00:03:35No way.
00:03:36Isn't he married?
00:03:37Who's he with?
00:03:38Oh, shit.
00:03:40Honey, did you hear me?
00:03:42Huh?
00:03:43What?
00:03:43I'm sorry, honey.
00:03:44What did you say?
00:03:45Olivia and Ken, they're going to be joining us for dinner.
00:03:47Okay, that's great, honey.
00:03:48He may not have taken me to that Real Play concert, but he got me this beautiful necklace.
00:04:14I've chosen a good man to marry.
00:04:18Hey, Dad.
00:04:21It's the big silver anniversary today, right?
00:04:2425 years of marriage.
00:04:25Wow.
00:04:26Don't you think our amazing little housewife deserves a little something?
00:04:30Yes, of course.
00:04:32Anne, my angel, whatever you do, do not forget you're not just my wife.
00:04:40You're my whole life.
00:04:42Thank you, my love.
00:04:47Hurry up and open it, Mom.
00:04:57A pen.
00:04:58Do you remember the last award ceremony I attended?
00:05:02I couldn't stop thinking about how much you've done for this family.
00:05:06So I picked up this pen in my hotel bed, and I wrote about how much I missed you all night long.
00:05:12Wow.
00:05:13Dad, you're such a romantic.
00:05:15I noticed you write the same acknowledgment in every book to my most beloved Anne.
00:05:22Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:05:25You are my muse.
00:05:26Everyone writes acknowledgments.
00:05:28It's no big deal.
00:05:28What you need to learn, Ken, is that for a good wife, love is much more valuable than jewelry.
00:05:36Price, insignificant.
00:05:39You better not learn that from my dad.
00:05:41Look, I'm not some simple housewife that's going to be satisfied with a hotel pen and a left note.
00:05:48I'm a career woman, and career women appreciate investment pieces.
00:05:57What's wrong with your mother?
00:05:58She's just being dramatic.
00:06:01Look, after all, she's only a housewife.
00:06:05Dad, allow me to raise a glass to you.
00:06:09Ever since you invited me to be your guest at your awards ceremony, I actually have a contract at a Fortune 500 company.
00:06:17Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Asher, to the next CEO of Roy Publishing.
00:06:22No, maybe he got that necklace for Olivia.
00:06:30I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
00:06:34Anne, is it just me, or does this look kind of like your husband?
00:06:37Is Jonathan chaining on me?
00:06:47Is Jonathan chaining on me?
00:06:47Lily and my muse.
00:07:17Happy anniversary.
00:07:18Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.
00:07:21You deserve only the finest gold and gems to adorn your precious body.
00:07:26Lily, Anne.
00:07:29Lily.
00:07:30Anne.
00:07:31To my most beloved, Anne.
00:07:34He was never talking about me.
00:07:36Who is this woman?
00:07:38How could you use the book that I wrote to proclaim your love for another woman?
00:07:42Oh, come on.
00:07:51What is wrong with you, woman?
00:07:52Is this the work you've been so busy with?
00:07:55Who the hell is Lily-Anne?
00:07:58Did you go through my things?
00:07:59This is an invasion of my privacy.
00:08:01Oh, you're really going to turn this back around on me when you are the one who brought evidence of your affair into our home?
00:08:05Lily and I are professional acquaintances.
00:08:08We discuss art and literature.
00:08:10Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.
00:08:14I shall ensure that only the finest gold and gems adorn your precious body.
00:08:19That is a literary reference, and that is something you would not understand.
00:08:22I suppose you're going to tell me that she finds it necessary to discuss your work dressed in lacy lingerie.
00:08:27I'm an unmissive f***ing chart.
00:08:29Anne, you're ruining our anniversary, and I am not going to just sit here and listen to your insane accusations.
00:08:35I'll be in my study.
00:08:39No, you don't.
00:08:40No, you don't.
00:08:41You are going to stand there.
00:08:42You are going to explain everything to me.
00:08:43Mom, calm down.
00:08:44This is all a big misunderstanding.
00:08:47Okay, Lily-Anne is a good person.
00:08:49Her and Dad have a professional relationship.
00:08:51You know her?
00:08:53You're going to defend some other woman?
00:08:55Mom, Lily-Anne is a literary agent at Roy Publishing House.
00:08:59Her and Dad work together.
00:09:01It's her job.
00:09:02Look, I get it.
00:09:03You've been a stay-at-home mom my whole life.
00:09:05Obviously, you don't know how the publishing world works.
00:09:08Wait a second.
00:09:11How long have you known about them?
00:09:15Olivia, you're my daughter.
00:09:17I carried you inside of me for nine months.
00:09:19I gave up everything for you.
00:09:21And as thanks, you've been helping your father hide his affair from me.
00:09:24Let it go!
00:09:26Clearly, you watch too many soap operas, and they build your head with crazy ideas.
00:09:30My own baby calling me crazy.
00:09:33Is that what you think, too?
00:09:37That I'm just some silly housewife with my head full of conspiracies?
00:09:40That I would stir up trouble for no reason?
00:09:42Well, it does seem like that's what ruined our anniversary.
00:09:47So, darling, maybe you should stick to the housework.
00:09:51Let us deal with the thinking.
00:09:53Stick to the housework.
00:09:55As if I haven't given up 25 years of my life for the both of you.
00:09:58To keep you happy and healthy and fed.
00:10:01Did those pants fold themselves and jump on into your drawer?
00:10:04Did those shoes shine themselves?
00:10:07Three meals a day for 25 years!
00:10:12These hands have been soaked in detergent and greased and filth.
00:10:17Every day you two come home and you kick up your feet just knowing everything will be cared for.
00:10:22That I have taken care of every little detail.
00:10:25But for me?
00:10:26For the past 25 years, I have worked around the clock like a goddamn maid!
00:10:33Have I ever gotten a break? Ever!
00:10:37So, first you're mad about some imaginary affair.
00:10:42Then you're mad about how you have chosen to spend your life.
00:10:46Life.
00:10:47You're a stay-at-home mom, Anne.
00:10:50A housewife.
00:10:51Cooking, cleaning, raising the kids.
00:10:53That's the job.
00:10:54That's what you're supposed to do.
00:10:55What do you want us to give you a medal?
00:10:57You're right.
00:10:58I did choose this life.
00:11:00And I have done my best to live up to my duties as a wife.
00:11:04So, shouldn't you live up to your duties as a husband?
00:11:07At the very least, you should be faithful in your marriage.
00:11:10One that should be faithful is the one that depends on the other's paycheck.
00:11:14My God.
00:11:15How could you say something so hurtful?
00:11:19You want to embarrass yourself?
00:11:21In front of your daughter?
00:11:23Her husband?
00:11:25For 25 years, I have been working my ass off.
00:11:32While you have been sitting here, indulging in a life of luxury.
00:11:36You should be grateful.
00:11:37Between the two of us, who should really be grateful?
00:11:39Have you forgotten who helped take you from a nameless writer to a best-selling author?
00:11:45Mom, I think you need to calm down.
00:11:48Oh, I'm calm.
00:11:50Your father's the one who needs to watch himself.
00:11:53Are you threatening me?
00:11:53I'm reminding you, I'm the one who wrote all of those books.
00:11:59What, are you going to go out there?
00:12:03Tell the whole world you wrote my collected works?
00:12:04Who is going to believe a housewife?
00:12:08Especially one that's gone mad, which you clearly have.
00:12:11I'll just show them my manuscripts.
00:12:12All of them in my handwriting for all of your novels.
00:12:16The manuscripts.
00:12:18God, I bet that's something you keep locked up, safe and sound, huh?
00:12:22God forbid something should happen to the manuscripts.
00:12:25You.
00:12:27No.
00:12:28No, no, no, no.
00:12:35No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12:40You burned my manuscripts.

00:23:18hey dad is a public figure you almost destroyed his career and you think he's going to be willing
00:23:23to reconcile exactly ann you shouldn't have tried to expose mr asher for using a ghostwriter
00:23:30he might have let you stay and write more books for him
00:23:35jonathan you know deep down inside that without me you will never write another word
00:23:42do you really think that i need to rely on writing for a living soon the entire company will be mine
00:23:49so you really think that you'll be unstoppable once your ceo is that why you're in such a hurry
00:23:54to get rid of me the faithful wife who stood by your side through thick and thin and trade me in
00:24:02for some shiny new toy what or who i play with is none of your business i have kept a roof over your
00:24:11head for years i can forgive your ungratefulness but i cannot forgive you stabbing me in the back

00:24:23by my side what on earth are you talking about i have never stabbed you in the back without me
00:24:31you would still be an unpublished wannabe and not the next ceo of roy publishing your storytelling

00:25:14life catering to you ungrateful liars i must have been delusional

00:26:47this house not you did you ever stop to think about why roy publishing house gave your father a chance
00:26:56why they groomed him for all of these years well obviously because dad is incredibly talented
00:27:05dad is about to become the ceo of roy publishing house he'll have stocks worth tens of millions of
00:27:13dollars and if he even gave half to a housewife like you he may as well throw all that money in the fire
00:27:26i'll tell you what i'll give you a little bit of alimony once you get divorced
00:27:52but as far as what's in this house you don't get anything
00:28:06oh my what a generous offer roy publishing house gave you everything made you a best-selling author

00:32:18always prevails that's right yeah you're just a junior agent at
00:32:22roy publishing aren't you are you even qualified to make this kind of announcement
00:32:26because i was under the impression that henry harper the ceo was the only one with that kind of
00:32:32authority you stupid housewife you don't understand what happens in the professional world
00:32:40the ceo is a very busy man and so i am entrusted to deliver this announcement
00:32:47did he really entrust you with this announcement well then why don't we just go ahead and give him a
00:32:55call to confirm
00:33:02mom stop embarrassing yourself why would a housewife like you have the ceo's number roy publishing house
00:33:10has tens of thousands of employees do you really expect the ceo to do everything himself
00:33:16sweet lillian is one of his top agents and she absolutely has the authority to come here and notify
00:33:22us i wasn't talking to you you're just starting off you only have a few clients don't you dear
00:33:29what do you know about how an elite publishing company works i know more than you do
00:33:34what do you think real work is going out and buying groceries or doing the laundry please just just
00:33:42stop mom you're embarrassing yourself be gentler to your mother olivia oh and you know i completely
00:33:50understand where you're coming from you've been in the house for so long of course you're a little
00:33:57ignorant i really do take pity on you but now it's time for someone more worthy to take over as
00:34:07woman's house i'm lucky to have found one dad i'm so happy for you too with your reputation
00:34:17and lily's business acumen you guys are a match made in heaven
00:34:21johnny it's the ceo you must be checking in to see if you've heard the good news yet
00:34:31hurry up answer it yeah and put it on speaker so someone can hear what the ceo really has to say
00:34:39hello mr harper yeah i told you you're gonna be in a meeting with hr where the hell you want off to
00:34:51hi mr harper i'm at mr asher's house i told you to stop that meeting with hr did you skip out in
00:34:59work hours didn't you say to inform mr asher i told you i would personally inform him you are just an
00:35:06agent what right do you have doing my job for me i'm sorry mr harper i just thought i'd take the
00:35:14initiative i'll be there soon stay right where you are uh yes sir
00:35:21what's wrong yeah the ceo didn't sound too happy nothing's wrong i was just in such a rush to share
00:35:38the good news i completely forgot that mr harper actually wanted to personally tell you so he's
00:35:46actually on his way oh whoa the ceo is personally coming to my house to announce me as his successor
00:35:54but it's like i said you didn't have that authority if the ceo is coming here to congratulate dad
00:36:01personally i think he respects him of course he does your father is a best-selling author and renowned
00:36:09in the industry it's only fitting that he succeeds as the next ceo oh my my my i think you're all
00:36:19mistaken you see the ceo is only coming here because the chairwoman asked him to jonathan's appointment
00:36:26as ceo well ultimately that decision lies with her what chairwoman lily does roy publishing house even
00:36:36have a chairwoman nothing i know of well who is she like she even knows oh but i do the chairwoman of roy
00:36:48publishing is me
00:37:07drop the act mom like do you even know what a chairwoman does she probably asked chat gpt
00:37:13and please you gotta stop flaunting your ignorance when we were younger we called it naivete but now
00:37:21that you're old and washed up and haggard it's just plain foolishness
00:37:27she probably read so many trashy novels she can't even keep up with reality anymore she's stuck in her
00:37:34own fantasy world that's what it is she's delusional okay yeah i can play along with that
00:37:43what's up greetings chairwoman ann

00:42:37over the roy publishing house company and you must all obey that chairwoman's orders including the ceo

00:47:13Do you really want to ruin your only daughter?
00:47:17Please, Anne, Olivia is your flesh and blood
00:47:19Why are you treating her like this?
00:47:21If she wasn't my daughter, I would have sued her already
00:47:24Instead, I am generously giving her the opportunity to prove that she is the self-made businesswoman she proclaims to be
00:47:33Olivia, I took care of you for 25 years
00:47:36I'm not going to spoil you any longer
00:47:39Mom, you're going to ruin us!
00:47:41Dad! Don't I stand there? Fix it!
00:47:44Johnny, you have the teller!
00:47:47We knew we had a professional relationship
00:47:50Please tell her to have mercy on me!
00:47:55Anne
00:47:55Don't tell me you have the audacity to keep defending your mistress
00:47:59So I... I'm... I won't plead on their behalf, but...
00:48:05Anne, I'm just hurt that our family has come to this
00:48:08If you had told the truth, it never would have gotten to this point
00:48:11I just wanted to grow old with you
00:48:13I just want to live my life with you
00:48:15You can take your fake feelings and shove them
00:48:17This faithful husband act, it disgusts me
00:48:21Did you forget about this little thing that you did?
00:48:26How about these? Hmm?
00:48:35Did you forget about these?
00:48:43How dare you say you love me with the same mouth that kisses your mistress?
00:48:47Even thinking about growing old with someone like you
00:48:51Makes me sick
00:48:53I'll say it one last time
00:48:56From this day forward
00:48:58This family and I
00:49:00Are through
00:49:02Anne
00:49:02Mrs. Asher
00:49:04From now on, you will refer to me as Chairwoman
00:49:07Or Miss Roy
00:49:09I'm done for
00:49:35My career in the publishing industry is completely ruined
00:49:38Look, baby, just...
00:49:41Jonathan!
00:49:42We are completely out of money
00:49:45And our careers
00:49:47What are we going to do?
00:49:51Dad, you have to help me!
00:49:52All of my contracts have been cancelled
00:49:54The debt collectors are already banging down my door!
00:50:00Dad!
00:50:01What are we gonna do?
00:50:02Hurry up and think of something!
00:50:04Stop!
00:50:12It's alright
00:50:13Let him speak
00:50:14Anne
00:50:18We have been family for a long time
00:50:21How can you be so cruel to us?
00:50:28Lillian and I, we are co-workers
00:50:29We get flirted a little bit
00:50:31That is it
00:50:31Olivia is your daughter
00:50:34You birthed her
00:50:35What, you're just gonna push us aside for some silly misunderstanding?
00:50:39How can you live with yourself?
00:50:41How dare you put blame on Anne?
00:50:43She sacrificed years of her life taking care of you
00:50:45Now your little mistress and daughter are trying to make a plan to kick her out of the life she built
00:50:49Don't you have any conscience?
00:50:51I promise you, I promise you that if you do anything to hurt Anne, I will make sure that you pay
00:51:00Understand?
00:51:01Understand?
00:51:04Now, don't worry
00:51:08I've already made sure the publishing house is gonna drop you
00:51:10And if you, your people here, want to cause any more disturbances
00:51:13I'll be forced to call security
00:51:15We are already leaving
00:51:19We are already leaving.
00:51:47Here.
00:51:50Henry, did I go too far?
00:51:59And you've done everything for them.
00:52:01It's them who let you down.
00:52:11And to get rid of Jonathan's influence,
00:52:15I think we should have a board meeting to announce your return.
00:52:18I agree.
00:52:19And then you need to go public and let them know that you were his ghostwriter.
00:52:22And get your copyrights back.
00:52:27Let me think about it.
00:52:28Well, the Novo Foundation already called him.
00:52:30They said he's the frontrunner to win this year.
00:52:31We cannot let him keep making money off false pretenses.
00:52:34It's time to take back what's yours.
00:52:36Henry, I said just give me some time to think.
00:52:40And you're too nice.
00:52:42You might give in again.
00:52:43But Jonathan won't.
00:52:49What kind of a psychopath hides their identity for decades?
00:52:52You know what?
00:52:53I bet she did this just so she doesn't have to share her assets with us.
00:52:57She was just a boring housewife mopping floors yesterday, but now she's the chairwoman of a top publishing company?
00:53:03Hey, this must be a joke.
00:53:10Oh, God.
00:53:12Hold your horses.
00:53:13We can still turn this around.
00:53:14Anne is just a housewife.
00:53:17She's got no experience.
00:53:18There's no way she can handle the position of chairwoman.
00:53:21Surely the company must be falling apart by now.
00:53:25What are you planning?
00:53:29Well, I've received an invitation from the Nobel Prize Foundation.
00:53:39You two are looking at the future winner of a Nobel Prize in literature.
00:53:45And when I take the stage and give my acceptance speech,
00:53:48I am going to announce that Anne and Henry are having a scandalous affair.
00:53:54And when their reputations are completely destroyed and the company's stocks crash,
00:53:59the board members are going to be begging me to take over.
00:54:05Anne, your decision to reverse Jonathan's appointment to CEO has already affected this company's stocks.
00:54:22We understand the Roy family holds the majority of shares, but you're still responsible for the rest of the shareholders.
00:54:31We members of the board wish for you to resign as chairwoman.
00:54:39You're trying to fire Anne?
00:54:41Is this because of Jonathan's meddling?
00:54:43Disgusting little man.
00:54:45The revenue from Mr. Asher's books accounts for about 40% of this company's profits.
00:54:52Additionally, since he is poised to win the Nobel Prize, his market value is about to skyrocket soon.
00:55:00We cannot lose a cash cow like Jonathan Asher.
00:55:05Ms. Roy must make up for this loss.
00:55:13I'll take back the copyrights.
00:55:18How is that possible?
00:55:21Who in their right mind would ever hand over a golden egg to their ex-wife?
00:55:31I am more than just Jonathan's ex-wife.
00:55:34I am Anne Roy.
00:55:36I have achieved everything that I have ever set my mind to.
00:55:40And I have done so without relying on Jonathan for a single penny.
00:55:43I admire your courage.
00:55:47But our trust comes with a price.
00:55:53Okay.
00:56:00Sign this agreement stating that if you do not get back the copyrights,
00:56:06all of your stock holdings will be turned over to us.
00:56:10Ann, you can't do that.
00:56:14Ann, you can't do that.
00:56:35I, Ann Roy, hereby agree to the terms of this agreement.
00:56:38In 24 hours, I will take back the copyrights.
00:56:42If I cannot, I shall willingly forfeit the entirety of my shares.
00:56:43It's a deal.
00:56:45We look forward to the results.
00:56:48It's a deal.
00:56:50We look forward to the results.
00:56:51Man, that was foolish.
00:56:52Jonathan's an egotistical little man.
00:56:53He'll stop at nothing to save his reputation.
00:56:54He's never going to admit that you were his Ghost Rider.
00:56:55How are you going to get those copyrights back?
00:56:56How are you going to get those copyrights back?
00:56:57I have the evidence in my possession.
00:56:58And also, I have a back-up plan.
00:56:59I have the evidence in my possession.
00:57:00And also, I have a back-up plan.
00:57:01I have the evidence in my possession.
00:57:02And also, I have a back-up plan.
00:57:03That's where you come in.
00:57:04Tomorrow is the Nobel Prize award ceremony.
00:57:05I have the evidence in my possession.
00:57:06I have the evidence in my possession.
00:57:07And also, I have a back-up plan.
00:57:08That's where you come in.
00:57:09Tomorrow is the Nobel Prize award ceremony.
00:57:10I'll show Jonathan what a real regret looks like.
00:57:13Jonathan's an egotistical little man.
00:57:16He'll stop at nothing to save his reputation.
00:57:18He's never going to admit that you were his ghostwriter.
00:57:20How are you going to get those copyrights back?
00:57:23I have the evidence in my possession.
00:57:26And also, I have a backup plan.
00:57:28That's where you come in.
00:57:30Tomorrow is the Nobel Prize Award ceremony.
00:57:34I'll show Jonathan what a real regret looks like.
00:57:43I'm waiting on the lab results.
00:57:48I'll be waiting to hear from you.
00:58:13Jonathan Asher?
00:58:26I knew it was you.
00:58:30Congratulations to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Jonathan Asher.
00:58:34Well, thank you, but the award hasn't been assigned quite yet.
00:58:37I'm still just a nominee.
00:58:38Darling, nobody's more deserving of the award than you.
00:58:41Oh, my God.
00:58:47Dad, did you propose already?
00:58:54Congratulations, Mr. Asher.
00:58:56I see you wasted no time.
00:58:58I'm overjoyed to be marrying Jonathan.
00:59:01But spending a million dollars on her ring is a little over the top.
00:59:05Don't you think?
00:59:07In my humble opinion,
00:59:08only a woman as beautiful as Lillianne
00:59:10is worthy of an author as talented as you, Jonathan.
00:59:15You two really make a beautiful couple.
00:59:18By the way, I heard you separated from Roy Publishing.
00:59:21Maybe in the future, we could work together?
00:59:24You can speak to me about any future book deals.
00:59:26I'm also Jonathan's agent.
00:59:31Dad, we've invited all of our friends in the media.
00:59:35Tomorrow's front pages will be plastered with your breaking news.
00:59:39Today, you will bring Roy Publishing House to its knees.
00:59:42During my acceptance speech,
00:59:45I am going to announce the scandalous affair of Anne and Henry,
00:59:51and I'm going to knock those two bastards right off their highways.
00:59:55Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.
01:00:03Thank you for attending our prestigious awards ceremony.
01:00:07Now, for tonight's main event,
01:00:11please join me in welcoming this year's recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature,
01:00:17the author of the critically acclaimed novel The Burning Bush,
01:00:21Mr. Jonathan Asher.
01:00:25Please, come to the podium.
01:00:33I'm going to be like, baby.
01:00:36I have to see you later.
01:00:45Excuse me.
01:00:47Jonathan Asher is a fraud.
01:01:02Who is this woman?
01:01:03What kind of person causes a scene as such a prestigious event?
01:01:06Oh, my God.
01:01:08I know her.
01:01:10That's Jonathan's ex-wife.
01:01:11Mom, what are you doing here?
01:01:17This is the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony.
01:01:19I'm warning you, don't start me thinking.
01:01:23Naturally, I'm here at this award ceremony
01:01:25in my role as chairwoman of Roy Publishing.
01:01:29I know what she's doing.
01:01:32Jonathan, she got all dressed up
01:01:34so she could barge in here to this event
01:01:36and beg for me to come back.
01:01:39In all honesty,
01:01:43a spatula and an apron better suits you.
01:01:46And if she thinks
01:01:47she can compete
01:01:48with a stunner like you,
01:01:51who would I know?
01:01:52She's sorely mistaken.
01:01:56Babe,
01:01:57you are too sweet.
01:01:59Oh, in case you haven't heard,
01:02:05your husband...
01:02:07Oh, no.
01:02:08Your ex-husband
01:02:09has already proposed to me.
01:02:14Just days ago,
01:02:15you were begging to grow old with me
01:02:17and now you've already proposed to another woman?
01:02:20Talk about jumping the gun.
01:02:21Now that I'm free of you,
01:02:23you filthy gold digger,
01:02:25I've decided to move on with my life.
01:02:28Start a new one.
01:02:28On our first day officially together,
01:02:33he gave me
01:02:34this million-dollar diamond ring.
01:02:36What did you get?
01:02:38After 25 years?
01:02:40Hmm?
01:02:40On a plastic hotel pen.
01:02:46Go ahead and laugh.
01:02:48Once I take back everything that belongs to me,
01:02:50you won't be laughing anymore.
01:02:52Babe,
01:02:52you have nothing that belongs to you anymore.
01:02:59Your husband,
01:03:00your child,
01:03:02the home that you put your whole life and soul into,
01:03:05it's all mine.
01:03:09Everything that belongs to you?
01:03:12Oh, come on, Anne.
01:03:13Good luck with that.
01:03:14We don't owe you
01:03:15anything.
01:03:17Dad is a Nobel Prize laureate now.
01:03:21Bet you're having some regrets, Mom.
01:03:24But it's too late.
01:03:25Even without you,
01:03:26Mr. Asher's reputation
01:03:28will let us dominate
01:03:30the publishing world.
01:03:31Are you sure about that?
01:03:35Don't try to bluff, Mom.
01:03:37Everyone knows Dad
01:03:38is the true pillar
01:03:38of Roy Publishing House.
01:03:40Ever since you kicked out
01:03:41your biggest author,
01:03:42now you're going to be
01:03:43the laughingstock
01:03:44of the entire publishing world.
01:03:46Miss Roy,
01:03:47you really shouldn't have
01:03:48gone against us.
01:03:49Your biggest mistake
01:03:50was believing
01:03:51you were more than
01:03:52just a
01:03:52sheltered housewife.
01:03:57So because I was a housewife,
01:03:58you all think it's okay
01:03:59to humiliate me?
01:04:00I mean, look around, Mom.
01:04:03Everyone's here
01:04:05because they believe in Dad.
01:04:07His reputation,
01:04:09his prestige.
01:04:10They all just want
01:04:12to revel in his success.
01:04:15You know the company
01:04:16can't survive without him.
01:04:20So you're all here
01:04:22to grab a piece
01:04:23of Jonathan Asher's
01:04:24glorious reputation.
01:04:27Well, there's just
01:04:28one little problem.
01:04:29It's all fake.
01:04:33What does she mean by that?
01:04:38Oh, she's a lonely,
01:04:40vengeful ex-wife
01:04:42trying to bleed
01:04:43her ex-husband dry.
01:04:45How pathetic.
01:04:48I'm guessing that she neglected
01:04:50her husband during
01:04:51their marriage.
01:04:52And now that she's
01:04:53tossed aside,
01:04:54she's finally regretting it.
01:04:55What an ignorant woman.
01:04:57Jonathan,
01:05:00did you forget
01:05:02how your books
01:05:03were actually written?
01:05:04The acknowledgements
01:05:05you wrote at the front.
01:05:06The acknowledgements
01:05:08were written for me.
01:05:09I'm Jonathan's
01:05:10real muse.
01:05:13After he ditched
01:05:14his basic
01:05:15boring housewife
01:05:16like you,
01:05:17now Jonathan
01:05:17can be inspired
01:05:18to write even
01:05:20better novels.
01:05:22his real muse.
01:05:27That's beautiful.
01:05:28Did you inspire him
01:05:29with all of your
01:05:30lacy underwear?
01:05:34You think
01:05:35you can humiliate me?
01:05:37Look at me.
01:05:39I'm gorgeous,
01:05:40seductive,
01:05:42like
01:05:42a luxury purse.
01:05:45You're just
01:05:45a filthy kitchen rat.
01:05:46Jonathan,
01:05:55it seems that
01:05:56you haven't told
01:05:56your new fiancé
01:05:57the truth yet.
01:05:58But don't worry,
01:05:59I can do that right now.
01:06:01The truth
01:06:02is that the copyrights
01:06:04to Jonathan Asher's novels
01:06:06do not belong to him.
01:06:15That's right.
01:06:17The copyrights
01:06:18were transferred
01:06:19to me.
01:06:21We wanted to make sure
01:06:22you didn't get
01:06:22one cent
01:06:23from royalties.
01:06:24You transferred
01:06:26the copyrights
01:06:26to your mistress?
01:06:28I've known you
01:06:29for 25 years
01:06:30and in all those
01:06:3025 years
01:06:31you were a stingy miser.
01:06:32Lily's my true love
01:06:34and she's now
01:06:35my fiancé
01:06:36so everything
01:06:36that belongs to me
01:06:37belongs to her.
01:06:39Mr. Asher,
01:06:40you're a real romantic.
01:06:43And it was all
01:06:44my idea, Mom.
01:06:45Now that we kicked you
01:06:47out of the house,
01:06:48don't even think
01:06:49about coming
01:06:50for our wealth.
01:06:55You hit me?
01:06:56I can't believe
01:06:57you just hit me!
01:06:58I should have taught
01:07:00you a lesson
01:07:00a long time ago.
01:07:01Then maybe you
01:07:02would have grown
01:07:02into a person
01:07:03who knows right
01:07:04from wrong.
01:07:06Get off.
01:07:08Jonathan,
01:07:09you,
01:07:10you're the boldest
01:07:10liar of them all.
01:07:12You know damn well
01:07:13that those copyrights
01:07:14belong to me.
01:07:14you have no right
01:07:17to transfer them
01:07:18to your whore!
01:07:22Jonathan,
01:07:23what is she talking about?
01:07:25Oh, God, don't...
01:07:26Didn't you write
01:07:27all of your own novels?
01:07:28Don't believe
01:07:29some ravings
01:07:30of a madwoman, darling.
01:07:34This
01:07:34is your last warning.
01:07:37If you don't get
01:07:38the hell out of here,
01:07:39you're gonna regret it.
01:07:42I'm not going anywhere.
01:07:45Today,
01:07:45I'm exposing the truth.
01:07:49Jonathan,
01:07:50what in the world
01:07:52is she talking about?
01:07:55Here it goes.
01:08:08Good evening,
01:08:22everyone.
01:08:23As tonight
01:08:24has been so
01:08:25inconveniently
01:08:27hijacked
01:08:29by this woman,
01:08:31I suppose
01:08:32it's appropriate
01:08:32to introduce you.
01:08:34Everyone,
01:08:34this is my
01:08:35ex-wife,
01:08:37Anne.
01:08:37For 25 years,
01:08:40I have worked
01:08:41like a dog
01:08:42to provide you
01:08:44with a life
01:08:45of luxury.
01:08:46Meanwhile,
01:08:48she
01:08:49and former
01:08:51CEO
01:08:53of Roy Publishing House,
01:08:55Mr. Henry
01:08:56Harper,
01:08:58have been having
01:09:00a sordid
01:09:00affair.
01:09:02Since then,
01:09:04the two
01:09:05have conspired
01:09:07to oust
01:09:08myself,
01:09:10my lovely
01:09:11daughter Olivia,
01:09:12out of the company
01:09:13and blacklist us
01:09:15from the industry.
01:09:16she's hiding Harper's
01:09:21mistress,
01:09:22betraying her husband
01:09:23and her daughter.
01:09:25How shameless.
01:09:27I never wanted to expose
01:09:28you like this,
01:09:29Anne.
01:09:29Do it all
01:09:30our years together.
01:09:31But today,
01:09:32you took it too far.
01:09:33Coming in here,
01:09:35tarnishing my reputation.
01:09:37So don't blame me
01:09:39for exposing
01:09:40your secret affair
01:09:42to the press.
01:09:43You brought this
01:09:43on yourself.
01:09:46Jonathan,
01:09:46how dare you
01:09:48try and twist
01:09:49the facts like this?
01:09:50Have you no shame?
01:09:52You shouldn't have
01:09:53come here today.
01:09:54Now the whole world
01:09:55knows you're
01:09:56a cheating slut.
01:09:58Who's gonna believe
01:10:00your empty accusations
01:10:01now?
01:10:03So,
01:10:03if I got this right,
01:10:05the CEO
01:10:05and chairwoman
01:10:06of an elite
01:10:07publishing house
01:10:08had an affair
01:10:09and then ousted you
01:10:11from the company
01:10:11as revenge
01:10:12for uncovering it?
01:10:14This is
01:10:16a huge
01:10:17suit.
01:10:18Once the news
01:10:19breaks,
01:10:20Roy Publishing House's
01:10:21stocks are
01:10:22going to
01:10:23plummet.
01:10:25What are you
01:10:25gonna tell
01:10:26the board members
01:10:27then?
01:10:31I see you've
01:10:32got it all
01:10:32planned out.
01:10:34You're willing
01:10:34to tell outright
01:10:35lies about me
01:10:36to destroy me
01:10:38and all just
01:10:38for money?
01:10:39You need
01:10:39to understand
01:10:40that ruining you
01:10:41is easier
01:10:43than lifting
01:10:43my pen.
01:10:44This
01:10:45is what
01:10:46you need
01:10:47to learn
01:10:47your place.
01:10:49What happened
01:10:49to you?
01:10:51You're a monster.
01:10:52Just admit
01:10:53that you lost,
01:10:54Anne.
01:10:56I could destroy
01:10:57you right now,
01:10:58but I won't.
01:10:59Given our years
01:11:00together,
01:11:00if you can
01:11:01shut your mouth
01:11:02and be the
01:11:03subservient housewife
01:11:04that you once were,
01:11:05I may
01:11:05take it easy on you.
01:11:07You think
01:11:14you're so clever.
01:11:15You disgust me.
01:11:18Acclaimed guest,
01:11:20I came here today
01:11:21to expose
01:11:22a dirty lie.
01:11:23All of Jonathan
01:11:24Asher's novels
01:11:25were actually
01:11:26written
01:11:27by me.
01:11:31I,
01:11:31his wife
01:11:32of 25 years
01:11:33and the true
01:11:34author of all
01:11:34of his books.
01:11:37This woman
01:11:38is crazy.
01:11:40Ever since
01:11:41I divorced her,
01:11:42she's been having
01:11:43a mental breakdown.
01:11:45She is
01:11:45hallucinating
01:11:46that she wrote
01:11:47all my novels.
01:11:49The truth is,
01:11:50she can't accept
01:11:52the fact
01:11:52that her life,
01:11:54it's amounted
01:11:55to nothing.
01:11:56I can testify
01:11:57to that.
01:11:58My dad wrote
01:11:59all those books.
01:12:00That's the absolute truth.
01:12:01Exactly.
01:12:02Exactly.
01:12:02Mr. Asher
01:12:03is the author.
01:12:04Of course,
01:12:05Jonathan wrote
01:12:06all of his own novels.
01:12:08I'm the inspiration.
01:12:09Or his masterpiece is.
01:12:11That's right,
01:12:12my darling.
01:12:12I wrote
01:12:13every single line.
01:12:16Every single line
01:12:21was written for you?
01:12:22You're delusional.
01:12:24You lunatic.
01:12:26You don't have
01:12:26a shred of evidence.
01:12:28Who's gonna believe
01:12:28your empty accusations?
01:12:30Oh, you'd like
01:12:31to see the evidence.
01:12:33If you can't
01:12:34present evidence,
01:12:35then this
01:12:36counts as defamation,
01:12:38and I'll put you
01:12:39in prison.
01:12:40Miss Roy?
01:12:42You should leave.
01:12:43Otherwise,
01:12:44we're gonna have
01:12:45to teach you a lesson.
01:12:46I've already said
01:12:47I'm not leaving
01:12:48until I take back
01:12:49everything the Aschers
01:12:50took from me.
01:12:52Everything
01:12:52we took
01:12:55from you.
01:12:57clean this up,
01:13:21housewife.
01:13:21Maybe it'll help
01:13:27you remember
01:13:27your place.
01:13:31You know,
01:13:32second thought.
01:13:33Why don't you
01:13:34come on over here?
01:13:35Crawl.
01:13:36Shine my shoes
01:13:37like you used to,
01:13:38and then maybe
01:13:39I can get you
01:13:39some work
01:13:40as our new maid.
01:13:44Look at Johnny
01:13:45trying to help you
01:13:46find a job.
01:13:47You could be a maid
01:13:48for everyone here.
01:13:49Go on.
01:13:57Show them all
01:13:58how good you are
01:13:58at cleaning.
01:13:59Yeah.
01:14:01Look at her.
01:14:01She really is
01:14:02having a mental breakdown.
01:14:03If you ask me,
01:14:05she should have
01:14:05cut her losses
01:14:06and left way earlier.
01:14:08Cleaning up messes
01:14:09like this
01:14:09is all you're good for.
01:14:12Dressing up,
01:14:12trying to steal
01:14:13everybody's attention,
01:14:14it doesn't suit you.
01:14:15Actually,
01:14:21being the center
01:14:21of attention
01:14:22suits me just fine.
01:14:24But you're right,
01:14:25I am good at cleaning.
01:14:26And since this place
01:14:27is absolutely filthy,
01:14:29I'm not opposed
01:14:30to doing a big cleanup.
01:14:36Wow.
01:14:37She's really pulling off
01:14:38that filthy housekeeper look.
01:14:40What the fuck?

01:14:59reclaiming everything
01:15:00that belongs to me.
01:15:02I am taking back
01:15:03every single thing
01:15:04that I have sacrificed
01:15:05over the past
01:15:06two and a half decades
01:15:07and nothing left.
01:15:10How dare she attack
01:15:12tonight's guest of honor?
01:15:13She's really lost her mind.
01:15:15Mom, what the hell?
01:15:17How could you splash
01:15:17that shit all over them?
01:15:19She's always been like this.
01:15:21A vulgar shrew!
01:15:23Your dirty secret,
01:15:24tomorrow it's gonna hit
01:15:25the front headlines
01:15:26and you deserve it.
01:15:27Not only are you
01:15:28an adulterer,
01:15:29but you stole the stocks
01:15:31that rightfully belong
01:15:32to myself and Olivia.
01:15:34Then you come here
01:15:35to ruin
01:15:36the Nobel Prize ceremony.
01:15:38I'll testify on dad's behalf.
01:15:40You're a cheater
01:15:41and a thief.
01:15:42You're really screwed up
01:15:43now, Miss Roy.
01:15:44The negative press
01:15:45is gonna absolutely
01:15:47ruin Roy Publishing House.
01:15:52Oh, Jonathan.
01:15:54You have deluded
01:15:55even yourself.
01:15:58You forget that everything
01:15:59you possess
01:16:00is built on lies.
01:16:01Stop fighting.
01:16:02You don't have
01:16:04any evidence.
01:16:05You can't take me down
01:16:07with your empty accusations.
01:16:08That's where you're wrong,
01:16:09dear husband.
01:16:10I do have evidence
01:16:12and I'm going to show it
01:16:13to everyone right now.
01:16:20Inside this box
01:16:22are the original manuscripts
01:16:23for all of my novels.
01:16:26Oh, my God.
01:16:28The original manuscripts?
01:16:29If she's telling the truth,
01:16:31this is huge news.
01:16:33No.
01:16:34No.
01:16:34She...
01:16:35You're lying.
01:16:36You're lying.
01:16:37I burned your manuscripts.
01:16:39I burned every single page
01:16:41in that entire house.
01:16:41I know.
01:16:42You have nothing.
01:16:45Johnny,
01:16:46what did you just say?
01:16:48I said...
01:16:49I said there are no...
01:16:50There's no such thing
01:16:51as original manuscripts.
01:16:53You're forging evidence now
01:16:54and I'm going to sue you.
01:16:55That's right.
01:16:56They must be forged.
01:16:57Stop lying,
01:16:59Miss Roy.
01:17:00Are you sure
01:17:00you burned everything?
01:17:02What if a few pages
01:17:03were left for me?
01:17:05Right, Ken?
01:17:06No.
01:17:07No way.
01:17:08No.
01:17:08We were there.
01:17:09You were all there.
01:17:09We burned everything.
01:17:10You saw.
01:17:14Shut up,
01:17:15you fucking idiot.
01:17:17Jonathan,
01:17:18what's really going on here?
01:17:21Did she really write
01:17:22all the novels?
01:17:23She doesn't listen
01:17:23to that delusional nonsense.
01:17:25She's taking shots
01:17:26in the dark.
01:17:28Yeah,
01:17:29what's in that box?
01:17:30Cookie recipes?
01:17:31I know you're trying
01:17:32to use it as evidence,
01:17:33but we won't fool
01:17:34that easily.
01:17:35That box is probably
01:17:36empty for all we know.
01:17:38Since you all
01:17:39still doubt me,
01:17:40why don't I open it
01:17:41and show everyone?
01:17:50What are those?
01:17:51Little scraps
01:17:52for your silly little
01:17:53crafting projects?
01:17:54Mm-hmm.
01:17:58I told you
01:17:58I didn't save anything.
01:18:01We lived with my mother
01:18:02for 25 years.
01:18:04She's just a desperate,
01:18:05delusional housewife
01:18:06trying to pass off
01:18:08my father's talent
01:18:09as her own.
01:18:10That's right.
01:18:11How could a housewife
01:18:12write masterpieces
01:18:13like Mr. Asher?
01:18:14And she almost
01:18:15fooled us all.
01:18:16Looks like she's all
01:18:17bark and no bite.
01:18:18You've crashed
01:18:21my award ceremony.
01:18:23You slandered
01:18:24my reputation
01:18:24and you don't have
01:18:25a shred of evidence.
01:18:26All you've got
01:18:27are your empty accusations.
01:18:29So...
01:18:30Buy me.
01:18:34I,
01:18:34his wife of 25 years
01:18:36and the true author
01:18:37of all of his books.
01:18:38This woman
01:18:41is crazy.
01:18:43Ever since I divorced her,
01:18:45she's been having
01:18:46a mental breakdown.
01:18:48She is hallucinating
01:18:49that she wrote
01:18:50all my novels.
01:18:52The truth is
01:18:53she can't accept the fact
01:18:55that her life
01:18:56it's amounted to nothing.
01:18:59I can testify to that.
01:19:01My dad wrote all those books.
01:19:03That's the absolute truth.
01:19:04Exactly.
01:19:05Exactly.
01:19:05Mr. Asher is the author.
01:19:07Of course Jonathan
01:19:08wrote all of his own novels.
01:19:11I'm the inspiration.
01:19:12Of course, masterpieces.
01:19:14That's right, my darling.
01:19:15I wrote
01:19:16every single line.
01:19:19Every single line
01:19:24was written for you?
01:19:25You're delusional.
01:19:27You lunatic.
01:19:29You don't have
01:19:29a shred of evidence.
01:19:31Who's going to believe
01:19:31your empty accusations?
01:19:33Oh, you'd like
01:19:34to see the evidence.
01:19:36If you can't present evidence,
01:19:38then this counts as defamation
01:19:40and I'll put you in prison.
01:19:43Miss Roy?
01:19:45You should leave.
01:19:46Otherwise,
01:19:47we're going to have
01:19:48to teach you a lesson.
01:19:49I've already said
01:19:50I'm not leaving
01:19:51until I take back
01:19:52everything the Aschers
01:19:53took from me.
01:19:55Everything we took
01:19:58from you.
01:20:03Clean this up, housewife!
01:20:24Maybe it'll help you
01:20:30remember your place.
01:20:34You know,
01:20:35second thought.
01:20:36Why don't you come on over here?
01:20:38Brawl.
01:20:39Shine my shoes
01:20:40like you used to
01:20:41and then maybe
01:20:42I can get you some work
01:20:43as our new maid.
01:20:47Look at Johnny
01:20:48trying to help you
01:20:49find a job.
01:20:50You could be a maid
01:20:51for everyone here.
01:20:59Go on.
01:21:00Show them all
01:21:01how good you are
01:21:01at cleaning.
01:21:02Yeah.
01:21:04Look at her.
01:21:04She really is
01:21:05having a mental breakdown.
01:21:06If you ask me,
01:21:08she should have cut her losses
01:21:09and left way earlier.
01:21:11Cleaning up messes
01:21:12like this
01:21:12is all you're good for.
01:21:15Dressing up,
01:21:15trying to steal
01:21:16everybody's attention,
01:21:17it doesn't suit you.
01:21:18Actually,
01:21:24being the center
01:21:24of attention
01:21:25suits me just fine.
01:21:27But you're right,
01:21:28I am good at cleaning.
01:21:29And since this place
01:21:30is absolutely filthy,
01:21:32I'm not opposed
01:21:33to doing a big cleanup.
01:21:39Wow.
01:21:40She's really pulling off
01:21:41that filthy housekeeper look.
01:21:43What the fuck?
01:21:53You fucking crazy woman!
01:21:59I am Roy.
01:22:01Stand before you today
01:22:02reclaiming everything
01:22:03that belongs to me.

01:22:18Mom, what the hell?
01:22:20How could you splash
01:22:20that shit all over them?
01:22:22She's always been like this.
01:22:24A boulder shrew!
01:22:26Your dirty secret,
01:22:27tomorrow it's gonna hit
01:22:28the front headlines
01:22:29and you deserve it.
01:22:30Not only are you

01:22:47The negative press
01:22:48is gonna absolutely ruin
01:22:51Roy Publishing House.
01:22:55Oh, Jonathan.
01:22:57You have deluded
01:22:58even yourself.
01:23:01You forget that everything
01:23:02you possess
01:23:03is built on lies.
01:23:04Stop fighting.
01:23:05You don't have

01:23:11That's where you're wrong,

01:23:32If she's telling the truth,
01:23:34this is huge news.
01:23:36No.
01:23:37No.
01:23:37No, she...
01:23:38You're lying.
01:23:39You're lying.
01:23:40I burned your manuscripts.
01:23:42I burned every single page

01:24:08Right, Ken?
01:24:09No.
01:24:10No way, no.
01:24:11We were there.
01:24:12You were all there.
01:24:12We burned everything.
01:24:13You saw.
01:24:17Shut up,
01:24:18you fucking idiot.
01:24:20Jonathan,
01:24:21what's really going on here?
01:24:24Did she really write
01:24:25old novels?
01:24:26She doesn't listen
01:24:26to that delusional nonsense.
01:24:28She's taking shots
01:24:29in the dark.
01:24:31Yeah.
01:24:32What's in that box?
01:24:33Cookie recipes?
01:24:34I know you're trying

01:24:45what are those?
01:24:54Little scraps

01:25:00I told you
01:25:01I didn't save anything.
01:25:04We lived with my mother
01:25:05for 25 years.
01:25:07She's just a desperate,
01:25:08delusional housewife
01:25:09trying to pass off

01:25:14How could a housewife

01:25:17And she almost
01:25:18fooled us all.
01:25:19Looks like she's
01:25:20all bark and no bite.
01:25:24You've crashed

01:25:26You slandered my reputation
01:25:27and you don't have
01:25:28a shred of evidence.
01:25:29All you've got
01:25:30are your empty accusations.
01:25:32So don't blame me
01:25:34for sending you
01:25:35straight to jail.
01:25:40Security!
01:25:42Get this woman!
01:25:46Wait!
01:25:49Wait, wait, wait!
01:25:50This is part of
01:25:51the manuscript
01:25:52of the burning bush!
01:25:53It looks like
01:26:00written on all
01:26:01these scraps of papers
01:26:02are parts of
01:26:03the original manuscripts
01:26:04from all of
01:26:05Mr. Asher's
01:26:06award-winning novels!
01:26:09Oh my God!
01:26:10Is she actually
01:26:11the real author
01:26:11of those books?
01:26:13What a plot twist!
01:26:15Johnny,
01:26:16please explain
01:26:18those manuscripts
01:26:19scrap!
01:26:19Those are my
01:26:24manuscript scraps.
01:26:26I, you know,
01:26:27have this funny habit
01:26:27where I take notes
01:26:29whenever inspiration
01:26:29scrap.
01:26:32That's right!
01:26:33Those are my
01:26:34dad's manuscripts.
01:26:35His writing style
01:26:36is unconventional.
01:26:43Jonathan,
01:26:43since you admit
01:26:44that these are
01:26:45the original manuscripts,
01:26:47we can determine
01:26:48the true author
01:26:49through a
01:26:49handwriting analysis.
01:26:51I have nothing
01:26:51to hide.
01:26:53And I would relish
01:26:54the opportunity
01:26:56to prove you wrong.
01:26:57But everybody knows
01:26:58that takes
01:27:00a forensic expert.
01:27:02No fraud
01:27:02would agree to that.
01:27:04Mom,
01:27:06you're grasping
01:27:06at straws.
01:27:07Just let it go.
01:27:11Hurry up
01:27:12and throw her out!
01:27:13What?
01:27:13Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,
01:27:14actually,
01:27:15we have
01:27:16a forensic
01:27:17handwriting expert
01:27:18here,
01:27:20one of our
01:27:20honored guests.
01:27:22Perhaps
01:27:22they could do
01:27:23the handwriting
01:27:24comparison.
01:27:31The results
01:27:32of the restoration
01:27:33just came in.
01:27:34It looks like
01:27:34we were able
01:27:35to find
01:27:35what you were
01:27:36looking for.
01:27:36Yeah.
01:27:49That's great.
01:27:51I gotta run.
01:27:51Thank you so much.
01:27:52The results
01:28:16of the restoration
01:28:17just came out.
01:28:19Good.
01:28:19I'll be waiting.
01:28:20Well,
01:28:21I hope that was
01:28:21your little lover
01:28:22rushing over
01:28:23to help you.
01:28:24If so,
01:28:24it'll be easier
01:28:24to put you both
01:28:25in jail.
01:28:26Are you so sure
01:28:26that I'm the one
01:28:27getting arrested?
01:28:28Oh,
01:28:28stop bluffing.
01:28:30Stop bluffing,
01:28:31Mom.
01:28:32Soon,
01:28:33you'll have
01:28:33nothing to laugh about.
01:28:35Those little
01:28:35scrapped paper
01:28:36don't prove
01:28:37anything.
01:28:39You brought
01:28:39this upon yourself,
01:28:40Anne.
01:28:41You used to have
01:28:42a luxurious life
01:28:43being taken care of,
01:28:44but your stubborn,
01:28:46jealous little heart
01:28:47has cost you
01:28:48everything.
01:28:50You used to have
01:28:50a sweet husband,
01:28:51a loving family,
01:28:53big house,
01:28:55nice car.
01:28:56I could go on.
01:28:57You were even
01:28:58the heiress
01:28:59to an elite
01:29:00publishing company.
01:29:02Roy Publishing
01:29:03was at its peak
01:29:04when Mr. Asher
01:29:05was set to become
01:29:06CEO.
01:29:08But now,
01:29:10your stock?
01:29:14Both professionally
01:29:16in person.
01:29:21The results
01:29:22of the handwriting
01:29:23analysis
01:29:24are out.
01:29:28According
01:29:29to this analysis,
01:29:31the handwriting
01:29:31on the manuscripts
01:29:32of the Burning Bush
01:29:33and the other
01:29:3416 novels
01:29:36all belong to
01:29:38Anne Roach.
01:29:41You only burned
01:29:47the manuscripts
01:29:48that I had
01:29:48recompiled.
01:29:50The originals
01:29:50were written
01:29:51over the course
01:29:52of 25 years
01:29:53whenever and
01:29:54wherever I could
01:29:55find a moment.
01:29:56All while I served
01:29:57this family
01:29:58as a dedicated
01:29:59wife and mother.
01:30:03Oh my God,
01:30:04this is so exciting.
01:30:05I think I'm having
01:30:06a heart attack.
01:30:07this proves nothing.
01:30:10Anyone could have
01:30:11copied dad's books
01:30:12down on sticky notes.
01:30:16Those manuscripts
01:30:17were written on
01:30:18receipts,
01:30:19greeting cards,
01:30:20newspaper margins.
01:30:22All of them
01:30:22clearly dated
01:30:24spanning the course
01:30:25of two and a half
01:30:26decades.
01:30:29Johnny,
01:30:30you can't let her
01:30:32do this.
01:30:32You have to explain.
01:30:37Don't oversell
01:30:39yourself.
01:30:39All those menial
01:30:40house tasks
01:30:41you did
01:30:41back home,
01:30:43they're just like
01:30:44you.
01:30:47Worthless.
01:30:56I'll be there
01:30:57as soon as I can,
01:30:58man.
01:31:07Oh,
01:31:12Anne,
01:31:13look at you.
01:31:14You're so
01:31:15emotionally unstable
01:31:17that you're going to
01:31:18cry over a bunch
01:31:19of scraps of paper.
01:31:21You are a
01:31:22stay-at-home
01:31:23housewife.
01:31:25You've had
01:31:25nothing but time
01:31:26to sit and doodle
01:31:27and copy down
01:31:28my manuscripts.
01:31:29What, you think
01:31:30this proves anything?
01:31:31You could have been
01:31:31just copying my novels
01:31:32before they're even
01:31:33published.
01:31:34He has a point
01:31:35and has a secretly
01:31:37copied down
01:31:38Jonathan's manuscript.
01:31:41Mom is clearly
01:31:42crazy obsessed
01:31:43with dad.
01:31:44Emphasis on the crazy.
01:31:46She probably copied
01:31:47down his manuscript
01:31:47whenever she had time.
01:31:49I've seen her do it
01:31:50with my own two eyes.
01:31:52Oh,
01:31:53that's what it was.
01:31:54Anything makes sense
01:31:55now.
01:31:56What a psychotic
01:31:57woman.
01:31:58She's trying to ruin
01:31:59him because she
01:32:00can't have him.
01:32:01Do you hear
01:32:06that, Ann?
01:32:08You thought
01:32:08you were so clever.
01:32:12Now,
01:32:12get down
01:32:13on your knees.
01:32:15Polish my shoes
01:32:16till they sparkle.
01:32:18You made
01:32:19your mess,
01:32:21housewife.
01:32:23You love it.
01:32:24You have no idea
01:32:28how badly
01:32:29you regret this.
01:32:31Ann,
01:32:31hold on.
01:32:32I'm almost there.
01:32:35Everything
01:32:35I've ever
01:32:36wanted,
01:32:38I've achieved.
01:32:39Money,
01:32:41prestige,
01:32:42a fantastic
01:32:43lover.
01:32:44I've got it all.
01:32:45You're the one
01:32:46who should be
01:32:48regretting
01:32:48her choices.
01:32:50You have
01:32:51nothing.
01:32:52Mom,
01:32:55you can't blame
01:32:56anyone but
01:32:57yourself.
01:32:58You chose
01:33:00to be a
01:33:00housewife.
01:33:01And you should
01:33:02have chosen
01:33:02to spend more
01:33:03time trying to
01:33:04keep your
01:33:04husband's
01:33:05attention.
01:33:07You're right.
01:33:09I did
01:33:09choose this.
01:33:11And I don't
01:33:12regret being a
01:33:12stay-at-home mom.
01:33:14Nothing
01:33:14gave me more
01:33:15pleasure than
01:33:16making sure that
01:33:17my family
01:33:17was loved
01:33:18and cared
01:33:20for.
01:33:20Now that I'm
01:33:22chairwoman again,
01:33:24I'll nurture
01:33:25Roy Publishing
01:33:26in much the
01:33:26same way.
01:33:27I am going
01:33:28to reorganize
01:33:29this company,
01:33:30establish better
01:33:31standards,
01:33:31and make sure
01:33:32to blacklist
01:33:33toxic people
01:33:34like the
01:33:35Ashers.
01:33:37Oh, come on.
01:33:38Stop dreaming,
01:33:39Ann.
01:33:39The writing's on
01:33:40the wall.
01:33:41Roy Publishing
01:33:42House is
01:33:43done for.
01:33:44Let me get
01:33:45this right.
01:33:45You think
01:33:46the industry
01:33:47should trust
01:33:47a homeless,
01:33:49troublous,
01:33:50divorce failure
01:33:51of a housewife
01:33:52to establish
01:33:53better standards?
01:33:55You couldn't
01:33:56even keep
01:33:56your own
01:33:57house in
01:33:57order.
01:33:59They'll
01:33:59trust
01:34:00Ann Roy.
01:34:02They'll
01:34:02trust the
01:34:03heiress of
01:34:03the Roy
01:34:03empire and
01:34:04the true
01:34:05author of
01:34:06this company's
01:34:06best-selling
01:34:07books.
01:34:08And your
01:34:08delusions
01:34:09long enough.
01:34:11Go spout
01:34:12your crazy
01:34:13nonsense
01:34:14elsewhere.
01:34:14Security!
01:34:15What are
01:34:15you waiting
01:34:15for?
01:34:18Don't
01:34:18touch her!
01:34:23Sorry, I'm
01:34:24late.
01:34:25No.
01:34:26You're
01:34:27right on
01:34:27time.
01:34:34Oh, good.
01:34:35Now,
01:34:35little lover
01:34:36boy has
01:34:36finally arrived.
01:34:38We can
01:34:38send the
01:34:39two lovebirds
01:34:40to the
01:34:40police station
01:34:41together.
01:34:43Well,
01:34:43you are
01:34:44right to
01:34:44assume
01:34:44that
01:34:45someone's
01:34:46going to
01:34:46jail
01:34:46tonight.

01:35:04be asked
01:35:04to take

01:35:14were going to
01:35:14do one step
01:35:15ahead the
01:35:16whole time.
01:35:16She even
01:35:17planned a
01:35:18little surprise
01:35:19for this
01:35:19exact occasion.
