Transcript
00:00:01For 25 years, I was my husband's ghostwriter.
00:00:05I helped him become a best-selling author.
00:00:08But 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. Just 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.
00:00:39It'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. Make me, uh, something delicious.
00:00:51Okay, honey.
00:00:57Anne, 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 I could do is give you 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.
00:01:24Anne, why publishing's your family business?
00:01:26I'm just looking over it on your behalf.
00:01:28We'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.
00:01:47The 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.
00:02:07I just wanted to know if you'd be back soon. Dinner's almost ready.
00:02:11Okay, yes. I will be right home, honey.
00:02:16Alright.
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.
00:02:30You better be telling the truth.
00:02:32Oh, I swear on my life.
00:02:34You are the only woman I know.
00:02:40Fuck!
00:02:42Okay, either they're having an affair or just really, really shy.
00:02:46Okay, I got it, baby.
00:02:47I'm gonna go.
00:02:48I'm gonna 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.
00:02:57No, I'm gonna 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.
00:03:13Well, maybe next time I should join you,
00:03:15then it'll be more fun.
00:03:16Oh, come on.
00:03:17Let me have your coat.
00:03:25Oh, Olivia called.
00:03:27She said she'll be back soon.
00:03:30Oh, 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?
00:03:44I'm sorry, honey.
00:03:45What did you say?
00:03:46Olivia and Ken, they're gonna be joining us for dinner.
00:03:47Okay, that's great, honey.
00:03:48Honey.
00:04:09He 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.
00:04:20Hey, Dad.
00:04:21It's the big sober 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.
00:04:33Anne, my angel.
00:04:35Whatever you do, do not forget you're not just my wife.
00:04:39You're my whole life.
00:04:46Thank 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?
00:05:01I couldn't stop thinking about how much you've done for this family.
00:05:05So 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 acknowledgement in every book to my most beloved Anne.
00:05:22Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:05:24You are my muse.
00:05:25Everyone writes acknowledgments is 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.
00:05:38You 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.
00:05:47I'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.
00:06:00Look, 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 award ceremony, I actually have a contract at a Fortune 500 company.
00:06:16Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Asher, to the next CEO of Roy Publishing.
00:06:27No, 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 cheating on me?

00:21:12thank you Henry
00:21:14Jonathan
00:21:18we built this house together from the ground up
00:21:22we've been through thick and thin together for 25 years
00:21:26do you really want to demolish it all?
00:21:30you said I was your life
00:21:31but then
00:21:33you turned around and embraced another woman
00:21:36was everything a lie?
00:21:40I'm willing to sacrifice everything for my family
00:21:43but I will not tolerate betrayal
00:21:46today
00:21:47I will tell you the whole truth
00:21:49it will be your very last chance
00:21:52what's the meaning of this?
00:22:14Jonathan?
00:22:15it's exactly what you wanted Anne
00:22:16we're getting a divorce
00:22:19are you sure about this?
00:22:30oh
00:22:30I've already signed the papers
00:22:33so I was willing to try and save our marriage
00:22:37but you've already written it off
00:22:39Henry go ahead and announce his position as CEO
00:22:42but I will be adding one condition
00:22:45I'll be taking over as chairwoman again
00:22:47therefore
00:22:48any hiring that's done
00:22:50such as CEO
00:22:51will require my approval
00:22:53are you in such a hurry to kick me out?
00:22:58what a shame
00:22:59I was thinking about giving you all a second chance
00:23:03oh stop bluffing
00:23:04your truth is
00:23:05you could come in here
00:23:05you could crawl
00:23:06beg me
00:23:08I'd never let you back in this house
00:23:10mom
00:23:11it's one thing to throw a tantrum at home
00:23:14but it's a different thing entirely
00:23:15to cause a scene at the company
00:23:17dad is a public figure
00:23:19you almost destroyed his career
00:23:20and you think he's going to be willing to reconcile?
00:23:23exactly
00:23:24Anne
00:23:25you shouldn't have tried to expose Mr. Asher
00:23:27for using a ghost writer
00:23:29he might have let you stay
00:23:31and write more books for him
00:23:32Jonathan
00:23:35you know deep down inside
00:23:38that without me
00:23:38you will never write another word
00:23:40do you really think
00:23:43that I need to rely on writing for a living?
00:23:46soon the entire company will be mine
00:23:48so you really think that you'll be unstoppable once you're CEO?
00:23:52is that why you're in such a hurry to get rid of me?
00:23:55the faithful wife
00:23:56who stood by your side through thick and thin
00:23:59and traded me in for some
00:24:01shiny new toy?
00:24:04what or who I play with
00:24:06is none of your business
00:24:07I have kept a roof over your head for years
00:24:11I can forgive your ungratefulness
00:24:13but I cannot
00:24:15forgive you stabbing me in the back
00:24:18during the most pivotal moment of my career
00:24:20I mean how am I supposed to stay with such a vile woman by my side?
00:24:24what on earth are you talking about?
00:24:26I have never stabbed you in the back
00:24:28without me
00:24:30you would still be an unpublished wannabe
00:24:33and not the next CEO of Roy Publishing
00:24:35your storytelling skills have
00:24:37really gone down the drain
00:24:39mom you should really stop with the soap opera shit
00:24:42like what's next?
00:24:43you're gonna tell us you're a wealthy heiress?
00:24:46you need to stop saying this idiotic stuff
00:24:48or people are gonna think you're a joke
00:24:50that's right
00:24:51I'm a joke
00:24:54a joke for being so blind
00:24:57for choosing a selfish
00:25:00brood of a man to be my husband like him
00:25:02for having a thankless daughter like you
00:25:06for having a pushover for a son-in-law
00:25:08you're right Olivia
00:25:09how could I have spent 25 years of my life
00:25:13catering to you ungrateful liars?
00:25:16I must have been delusional
00:25:18I'll sign the divorce papers
00:25:23from now on I have no connection to this family
00:25:26wait
00:25:41whoa what are you doing?
00:25:45you can't just get a divorce like that
00:25:47this is a supplemental document
00:25:51you must agree to its terms
00:25:54dad's assets aren't pocket change
00:25:56you can't just take half
00:25:57especially since they'll eventually come to me
00:26:00how can you be so cold?
00:26:05first you're kicking me out
00:26:06and now you want me to leave empty-handed?
00:26:09Olivia
00:26:10you're my daughter
00:26:12don't you have any sympathy for me?
00:26:14I'm not like you mom
00:26:16I'm a career woman
00:26:17don't take it personally
00:26:19she always was too emotional
00:26:22why does everyone in this family look down on me?
00:26:26I've taken care of you well for 25 years
00:26:29I've given you everything that I had
00:26:31mom you didn't do shit for 25 years
00:26:33so what?
00:26:34you cooked us a few meals?
00:26:36you didn't earn a single cent for this family
00:26:39dad was the one who consistently worked, enslaved and earned every penny that was put into this house
00:26:47not you
00:26:49did you ever stop to think about why
00:26:52Roy Publishing House gave your father a chance?
00:26:55why they groomed him for all of these years?
00:26:59well obviously
00:27:00because dad is incredibly talented
00:27:02dad is about to become the CEO of Roy Publishing House
00:27:07he'll have stocks worth tens of millions of dollars
00:27:12and if he even gave half
00:27:15to a housewife like you
00:27:17he may as well throw all that money in the fire
00:27:21Jonathan
00:27:29is this the way you feel too?
00:27:32that you earned everything for this family?
00:27:36I had nothing to do with it
00:27:37I want to hear you say it yourself
00:27:40you
00:27:42haven't contributed
00:27:45anything
00:27:46I'll tell you what
00:27:48I'll give you a little bit of alimony
00:27:50once you get divorced
00:27:51but
00:27:53as far as what's in this house
00:27:57you don't get anything
00:28:00oh my
00:28:06what a generous
00:28:07offer
00:28:08Roy Publishing House

00:29:00that I still had left
00:29:01for this family

00:51:53Anne you've done
00:52:00everything for them
00:52:00it's them
00:52:02who let you down
00:52:03to get rid of
00:52:14Jonathan's influence
00:52:15I think we should have
00:52:16a board meeting
00:52:17to announce your return
00:52:18I agree
00:52:19and then you need
00:52:20to go public
00:52:20and let them know
00:52:21that you were his ghost writer
00:52:22and get your copyrights back
00:52:25let me think about it
00:52:29well the Nova Foundation
00:52:30already called
00:52:30and they said
00:52:31he's the frontrunner
00:52:31to win this year
00:52:32we cannot let him
00:52:33keep making money
00:52:34off false pretenses
00:52:35it's time to take back
00:52:36what's yours
00:52:36Henry
00:52:37I said just
00:52:39give me some time
00:52:40to think
00:52:40Anne you're too nice
00:52:42you might give in again
00:52:43but Jonathan won't
00:52:45what kind of a psychopath
00:52:51hides their identity
00:52:52for decades
00:52:53you know what
00:52:54I bet she did this
00:52:55just so she doesn't have
00:52:56to share her assets
00:52:57with us
00:52:58she was just a boring
00:52:59housewife mopping floors
00:53:00yesterday
00:53:00but now she's a chairwoman
00:53:02of a top publishing company
00:53:03this must be a joke
00:53:05oh god
00:53:11hold 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
00:53:20she can handle the position
00:53:21of chairwoman
00:53:21surely the company
00:53:23must be falling apart
00:53:23by now

01:17:45what are those
01:17:54little scraps
01:17:56for your silly little crafting projects
01:17:58I told you I didn't save anything
01:18:03we lived with my mother for 25 years
01:18:07she's just a desperate delusional housewife
01:18:10trying to pass off my father's talent as her own
01:18:13that's right
01:18:14how could a housewife
01:18:15write masterpieces like Mr. Asher

01:18:22you've crashed my award ceremony

01:18:52of the burning bush
01:18:54it looks like written on all these scraps of papers

01:19:25I
01:19:27you know

01:19:30that's right
01:19:33those are my dad's manuscripts
01:19:35his
01:19:36writing style
01:19:37is
01:19:37unconventional
01:19:38Jonathan
01:19:44since you admit that these are the original manuscripts
01:19:47we can determine the true author
01:19:49through a handwriting analysis
01:19:51I have nothing to hide
01:19:53and I would relish
01:19:55the opportunity to prove you wrong
01:19:57but everybody knows
01:19:59that takes a forensic expert
01:20:01no fraud would agree to that
01:20:04mom
01:20:05you're grasping at straws
01:20:08just let it go
01:20:09hurry up
01:20:12and throw her out

01:20:17a forensic handwriting expert
01:20:19here

01:27:41to the police station
01:27:42together
01:27:43well you are right
01:27:46to assume that

01:27:48oh
01:27:49Mr. Harper
01:27:50I know you just arrived
01:27:53so you probably haven't heard
01:27:54but you two
01:27:56are done for
01:27:58once news of your filthy affair gets out
01:28:00the board members will kick you both out of the company
01:28:03then Mr. Asher will be asked to take over as CEO
01:28:09that's a pretty good plan you got there
01:28:13except for one little hiccup
01:28:14Anne predicted everything you were going to do one step ahead the whole time
01:28:18she even planned a little surprise for this exact occasion
01:28:22this here is a report from a forensic trace analyst
01:28:28we recovered some shards of a burnt manuscript from the Asher family fireplace
01:28:34and it confirms that all the women sent the burnt writing
01:28:37and the results confirm the handwriting
01:28:39and all the papers in there were that of
01:28:41Miss Anne Roy
