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?

00:44:09silence

00:44:09the Roy family

00:45:04to put words in my mouth

00:45:05the only reason

00:45:09Jonathan

00:52:36Henry

00:52:37I said just

00:52:40to think

00:52:40Anne you're too nice

00:58:14who's

00:58:15Jonathan Asher?

00:58:27I knew it was you.

00:58:31Congratulations to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Jonathan Asher.

00:58:35Well, thank you, but the award hasn't been assigned quite yet.

00:58:38I'm still just a nominee.

00:58:39Darling, nobody's more deserving of the award than you.

00:58:45Oh, my God.

00:58:48Dad, did you propose already?

00:58:55Congratulations, Mr. Asher.

00:58:56I see you wasted no time.

00:58:59I'm overjoyed to be marrying Jonathan,

00:59:02but spending a million dollars on her ring is a little over the top.

00:59:05Don't you think?

00:59:07Nothing.

00:59:08In my humble opinion, only a woman as beautiful as Lillianne

00:59:11is worthy of an author as talented as you, Jonathan.

00:59:15You two really make a beautiful couple.

00:59:19By the way, I heard you separated from Roy Publishing.

00:59:22Maybe in the future we could work together?

00:59:25You can speak to me about any future book deals.

00:59:27I'm also Jonathan's agent.

00:59:30Dad, we've invited all of our friends in the media.

00:59:36Tomorrow's front pages will be plastered with your breaking news.

00:59:40Today, you will bring Roy Publishing House to its knees.

00:59:43During my acceptance speech,

00:59:46I 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.

01:00:04Thank you for attending our prestigious awards ceremony.

01:00:08Now, for tonight's main event,

01:00:12please join me in welcoming this year's recipient

01:00:15of the Nobel Prize in Literature,

01:00:18the author of the critically acclaimed novel,

01:00:21The Burning Bush,

01:00:24Mr. Jonathan Asher.

01:00:26Please, come to the podium.

01:00:27I'm going to be like crazy.

01:00:37I'm going to see what I'm going to see.

01:00:47Excuse me.

01:00:51Jonathan Asher is a fraud.

01:00:57Who is this woman?

01:01:05What kind of person causes a scene

01:01:06as such a prestigious event?

01:01:08Oh, my God.

01:01:09I know her.

01:01:11That's Jonathan's ex-wife.

01:01:16Mom?

01:01:17What are you doing here?

01:01:18This is the Nobel Prize awards ceremony.

01:01:21I'm warning you.

01:01:22Don't start me thinking.

01:01:24Naturally, I'm here at this awards ceremony

01:01:26in my role as chairwoman of Roy Publishing.

01:01:30Ah.

01:01:32I know what she's doing.

01:01:33Jonathan, she got all dressed up

01:01:35so she could barge in here to this event

01:01:37and beg for you to come back.

01:01:42In all honesty,

01:01:44a spatula and an apron better suits you.

01:01:47And if she thinks

01:01:48she can compete with a stunner like you,

01:01:52who would I know?

01:01:53She's sorely mistaken.

01:01:57Babe, you are too sweet.

01:02:03Oh, in case you haven't heard,

01:02:06your husband...

01:02:09Oh, no.

01:02:10Your ex-husband

01:02:11has already proposed to me.

01:02:12Just days ago,

01:02:16you were begging to grow old with me

01:02:18and now you've already proposed

01:02:20to another woman?

01:02:21Talk about jumping the gun.

01:02:23Now that I'm free of you,

01:02:24you filthy gold digger,

01:02:26I've decided to move on with my life.

01:02:29Start a new one.

01:02:30On our first day officially together,

01:02:34he gave me this million-dollar diamond ring.

01:02:38What did you get?

01:02:39After 25 years?

01:02:41Hmm?

01:02:41A little plastic hotel pen.

01:02:47Go ahead and laugh.

01:02:49Once I take back everything that belongs to me,

01:02:51you won't be laughing anymore.

01:02:53Babe, you have nothing that belongs to you anymore.

01:03:00Your husband, your child,

01:03:03the home that you put your whole life and soul into,

01:03:06it's all mine.

01:03:10Everything that belongs to you?

01:03:13Oh, come on, Anne.

01:03:14Good luck with that.

01:03:16We don't owe you anything.

01:03:19Dad is a Nobel Prize laureate now.

01:03:22Bet you're having some regrets, Mom.

01:03:25But it's too late.

01:03:26Even without you,

01:03:28Mr. Asher's reputation

01:03:29will let us dominate the publishing world.

01:03:33Are you sure about that?

01:03:36Don't try to bluff, Mom.

01:03:38Everyone knows Dad is the true pillar

01:03:40of Roy Publishing House.

01:03:41Ever since you kicked out your biggest author,

01:03:44now you're going to be the laughingstock

01:03:45of the entire publishing world.

01:03:47Miss Roy,

01:03:48you really shouldn't have gone against us.

01:03:50Your biggest mistake was

01:03:52believing you were more than just a

01:03:54sheltered housewife.

01:03:58So because I was a housewife,

01:04:00you all think it's okay to humiliate me?

01:04:03I mean, look around, Mom.

01:04:05Everyone's here because they believe in Dad.

01:04:08His reputation,

01:04:10his prestige.

01:04:11They all just want to revel in his success.

01:04:16You know the company can't survive without him.

01:04:21So you're all here to grab a piece of

01:04:24Jonathan Asher's glorious reputation.

01:04:28Well, there's just one little problem.

01:04:31It's all fake.

01:04:32What does she mean by that?

01:04:39Oh, she's a lonely,

01:04:42vengeful ex-wife

01:04:43trying to bleed her ex-husband dry.

01:04:47How pathetic.

01:04:48I'm guessing that she neglected her husband

01:04:52during their marriage.

01:04:53And now that she's tossed aside,

01:04:55she's finally regretting it.

01:04:57What an ignorant woman.

01:05:01Jonathan,

01:05:02did you forget how your books were actually written?

01:05:06The acknowledgements you wrote at the front.

01:05:08The acknowledgements were written for me.

01:05:10I'm Jonathan's real muse.

01:05:14After he ditched his basic

01:05:16boring housewife like you,

01:05:18now Jonathan can be inspired

01:05:20to write even better novels.

01:05:25Oh, his real muse.

01:05:29That's beautiful.

01:05:30Did you inspire him

01:05:31with all of your lacy underwear?

01:05:35You think you can humiliate me?

01:05:39Look at me.

01:05:40I'm gorgeous, seductive.

01:05:43Like a luxury purse.

01:05:46You're just a filthy kitchen rat.

01:05:55Jonathan,

01:05:56it seems that you haven't told

01:05:58your new fiancée the truth yet.

01:06:00But don't worry,

01:06:01I can do that right now.

01:06:03The truth

01:06:04is that the copyrights

01:06:06to Jonathan Asher's novels

01:06:08do not belong to him.

01:06:17That's right.

01:06:19The copyrights were transferred to me.

01:06:21We wanted to make sure

01:06:24you didn't get one cent

01:06:25from the royalties.

01:06:26You transferred the copyrights

01:06:28to your mistress?

01:06:29I've known you for 25 years

01:06:31and in all those 25 years

01:06:32you were a stingy miser.

01:06:34Lily's my true love.

01:06:36And she's now my fiancée,

01:06:38so everything that belongs to me

01:06:39belongs to her.

01:06:40Mr. Asher,

01:06:41you're a real romantic.

01:06:45And it was all my idea, Mom.

01:06:47Now that we kicked you

01:06:48out of the house,

01:06:49don't even think

01:06:50about coming for our wealth.

01:06:52You hit me.

01:06:58I can't believe you just hit me.

01:07:00I should have taught you

01:07:01a lesson a long time ago.

01:07:03Then maybe you would have

01:07:04grown into a person

01:07:05who knows right from wrong.

01:07:07Get off.

01:07:09Jonathan.

01:07:11You, you're the boldest

01:07:12liar of them all.

01:07:13You know damn well

01:07:14that those copyrights

01:07:15belong to me.

01:07:18You have no right

01:07:19to transfer them

01:07:19to your whore.

01:07:22Jonathan,

01:07:25what is she talking about?

01:07:27Oh, God, don't...

01:07:28Didn't you write

01:07:28all of your own novels?

01:07:30Don't believe some ravings

01:07:32of a madwoman, darling.

01:07:35This is your last warning.

01:07:38If you don't get

01:07:39the hell out of here,

01:07:41you are gonna regret it.

01:07:44I'm not going anywhere.

01:07:47Today, I'm exposing the truth.

01:07:51Jonathan.

01:07:51What in the world

01:07:54is she talking about?

01:07:57Here it goes.

01:07:58Here it goes.

01:07:58Good evening, everyone.

01:08:10As tonight has been so inconveniently hijacked

01:08:31by this woman,

01:08:32I suppose it's appropriate

01:08:34to introduce you.

01:08:35Everyone,

01:08:37this is my ex-wife,

01:08:38Anne.

01:08:39For 25 years,

01:08:41I have worked like a dog

01:08:44to provide you

01:08:46with a life of luxury.

01:08:48Meanwhile,

01:08:49she

01:08:50and former

01:08:53CEO

01:08:54of Roy Publishing House,

01:08:57Mr. Henry Harper,

01:08:59have been having

01:09:01a sordid affair.

01:09:03Since then,

01:09:06the two

01:09:07have conspired

01:09:09to oust

01:09:10myself,

01:09:12my lovely daughter,

01:09:13Olivia,

01:09:14out of the company

01:09:15and blacklist us

01:09:17from the industry.

01:09:18She's hiding Harper's mistress?

01:09:24Betraying her husband

01:09:25and her daughter?

01:09:27How shameless.

01:09:29I never wanted to expose you like this, Anne.

01:09:31Due to all our years together.

01:09:33But today,

01:09:33you took it too far.

01:09:35Coming in here,

01:09:37tarnishing my reputation.

01:09:39So don't blame me

01:09:41for exposing your secret affair

01:09:43to the press.

01:09:45You brought this on yourself.

01:09:46Jonathan!

01:09:49How dare you try

01:09:50and twist the facts like this?

01:09:52Have you no shame?

01:09:54You shouldn't have come here today.

01:09:56Now the whole world knows

01:09:58you're a cheating slut.

01:10:00Who's gonna believe

01:10:01your empty accusations now?

01:10:04So,

01:10:05if I got this right,

01:10:07the CEO and chairwoman

01:10:08of an elite publishing house

01:10:10had an affair

01:10:11and then elsted you from the company

01:10:13as revenge for uncovering it?

01:10:15This is a huge suit.

01:10:20Once the news breaks,

01:10:22Roy Publishing House's stocks

01:10:23are going to plummet.

01:10:27What are you gonna tell

01:10:28the board members then?

01:10:29I see you've got it all planned out.

01:10:36You're willing to tell

01:10:37outright lies about me

01:10:38to destroy me

01:10:40and all just for money?

01:10:41You need to understand

01:10:42that ruining you

01:10:44is easier than lifting my pen.

01:10:46This

01:10:47is what you need

01:10:49to learn your place.

01:10:51What happened to you?

01:10:53You're a monster.

01:10:54Just admit

01:10:55that you lost, Anne.

01:10:58I could destroy you

01:10:59right now,

01:11:00but I won't.

01:11:01Given our years together,

01:11:02if you can shut your mouth

01:11:04and be the subservient housewife

01:11:06that you once were,

01:11:07I may

01:11:07take it easy on you.

01:11:09You think you're so clever.

01:11:17You disgust me.

01:11:20Acclaimed guest,

01:11:22I came here today

01:11:23to expose a dirty lie.

01:11:26All of Jonathan Asher's novels

01:11:28were actually written

01:11:29by me.

01:11:31I, his wife of 25 years,

01:11:35am the true author

01:11:36of all of his books.

01:11:39This woman

01:11:40is crazy.

01:11:42Ever since I divorced her,

01:11:44she's been having

01:11:45a mental breakdown.

01:11:47She is hallucinating

01:11:48that she wrote

01:11:50all my novels.

01:11:51The truth is

01:11:52she can't accept the fact

01:11:54that her life,

01:11:56it's amounted to nothing.

01:11:59I can testify to that.

01:12:00My dad wrote

01:12:01all those books.

01:12:02That's the absolute truth.

01:12:03Exactly.

01:12:04Exactly.

01:12:04Mr. Asher is the author.

01:12:06Of course Jonathan

01:12:07wrote all of his own novels.

01:12:10I'm the inspiration

01:12:11for his masterpieces.

01:12:13That's right, my darling.

01:12:15I wrote

01:12:15every single line.

01:12:18Every single line

01:12:23was written for you?

01:12:24You're delusional.

01:12:26You lunatic.

01:12:28You don't have

01:12:28a shred of evidence.

01:12:29Who's going to believe

01:12:31your empty accusations?

01:12:32Oh, you'd like

01:12:33to see the evidence.

01:12:35If you can't present evidence,

01:12:38then this counts as defamation

01:12:40and I'll put you in prison.

01:12:42Miss Roy?

01:12:43You should leave.

01:12:45Otherwise,

01:12:46we're going to have

01:12:47to teach you a lesson.

01:12:48I've already said

01:12:49I'm not leaving

01:12:50until I take back

01:12:51everything the Aschers

01:12:52took from me.

01:12:53everything we took

01:12:57from you.

01:12:59clean this up,

01:13:23housewife!

01:13:23Maybe it'll help you

01:13:29remember your place.

01:13:33You know,

01:13:34second thought.

01:13:35Why don't you come on over here?

01:13:37Crawl.

01:13:38Shine my shoes

01:13:39like you used to

01:13:40and then maybe

01:13:41I can get you some work

01:13:42as our new maid.

01:13:44Look at Johnny

01:13:47trying to help you

01:13:48find a job.

01:13:50You could be a maid

01:13:50for everyone here.

01:13:55Go on.

01:14:00Show them all

01:14:00how good you are

01:14:01at cleaning.

01:14:02Yeah.

01:14:03Look at her.

01:14:03She really is

01:14:04having a mental breakdown.

01:14:06If you ask me,

01:14:07she should have cut her losses

01:14:08and left way earlier.

01:14:10Cleaning up messes

01:14:11like this

01:14:12is all you're good for.

01:14:14Dressing up,

01:14:15trying to steal

01:14:15everybody's attention,

01:14:16it doesn't suit you.

01:14:23Actually,

01:14:23being the center

01:14:24of attention

01:14:24suits me just fine.

01:14:26But you're right,

01:14:27I am good at cleaning.

01:14:29And since this place

01:14:30is absolutely filthy,

01:14:32I'm not opposed

01:14:32to doing a big cleanup.

01:14:35Wow.

01:14:39She's really pulling off

01:14:41that filthy housekeeper look.

01:14:44What the fuck?

01:14:52You fucking crazy woman!

01:14:58I am Roy.

01:15:00Stand before you today

01:15:01reclaiming everything

01:15:03that belongs to me.

01:15:04I am taking back

01:15:06every single thing

01:15:07that I have sacrificed

01:15:08over the past

01:15:08two and a half decades

01:15:10and nothing less.

01:15:13How dare she attack

01:15:14tonight's guest of honor?

01:15:16She's really lost her mind.

01:15:18Mom, what the hell?

01:15:19How could you splash

01:15:20that shit all over them?

01:15:21She's always been like this.

01:15:23A boulder shroom!

01:15:25Your dirty secret.

01:15:27Tomorrow it's gonna hit

01:15:28the front headlines

01:15:28and you deserve it.

01:15:30Not only are you

01:15:31an adulterer,

01:15:32but you stole the stocks

01:15:33that rightfully belonged

01:15:34to myself and Olivia.

01:15:36Then you come here

01:15:38to ruin the Nobel Prize ceremony.

01:15:41I'll testify on dad's behalf.

01:15:43You're a cheater and a thief.

01:15:45You're really screwed up now,

01:15:46Miss Roy.

01:15:47The negative press

01:15:48is gonna absolutely ruin

01:15:50Roy Publishing House.

01:15:52You know, Jonathan,

01:15:56you have deluded

01:15:58even yourself.

01:16:00You forget that everything

01:16:02you possess

01:16:02is built on lies.

01:16:04Stop fighting.

01:16:05You don't have any evidence.

01:16:08You can't take me down

01:16:09with your empty accusations.

01:16:11That's where you're wrong,

01:16:12dear husband.

01:16:13I do have evidence

01:16:14and I'm going to show it

01:16:16to everyone right now.

01:16:17Inside this box

01:16:24are the original manuscripts

01:16:26for all of my novels.

01:16:29Oh my God.

01:16:30The original manuscripts?

01:16:32If she's telling the truth,

01:16:34this is huge news.

01:16:36No.

01:16:37No, she...

01:16:37You're lying.

01:16:39You're lying.

01:16:40I burned your manuscripts.

01:16:42I burned every single page

01:16:43in that entire house.

01:16:44I know.

01:16:45You have nothing.

01:16:46Johnny,

01:16:49what did you just say?

01:16:51I said...

01:16:52I said there are no...

01:16:53There's no such thing

01:16:54as original manuscripts.

01:16:55See,

01:16:56you're forging evidence now

01:16:57and I'm going to sue you.

01:16:58That's right.

01:16:59They must be forged.

01:17:00Stop lying, Miss Roy.

01:17:02Are you sure

01:17:03you burned everything?

01:17:05What if a few pages

01:17:06were left for me?

01:17:08Right, Ken?

01:17:09No.

01:17:10No way.

01:17:11No.

01:17:11We were there.

01:17:11You were all there.

01:17:12We burned everything.

01:17:13You saw.

01:17:13Shut up,

01:17:18you fucking idiot.

01:17:19Listen to me.

01:17:20Jonathan,

01:17:21what's really going on here?

01:17:24Did she really write

01:17:25all the novels?

01:17:26She doesn't listen

01:17:26to that delusional nonsense.

01:17:28She's taking shots

01:17:29in the dark.

01:17:31Yeah,

01:17:31what's in that box?

01:17:33Cookie recipes?

01:17:33I know you're trying

01:17:35to use it as evidence,

01:17:36but we won't fool

01:17:36that easily.

01:17:38That box is probably

01:17:39empty for all we know.

01:17:41Since you all

01:17:41still doubt me,

01:17:43why don't I open it

01:17:44and show everyone?

01:17:53What are those?

01:17:54little scraps

01:17:56for your silly

01:17:56little crafting projects?

01:18:01I told you

01:18:02I didn't save anything.

01:18:04We lived with my mother

01:18:05for 25 years.

01:18:07She's just a desperate,

01:18:09delusional housewife

01:18:10trying to pass off

01:18:11my father's talent

01:18:12as her own.

01:18:14That's right.

01:18:14How could a housewife

01:18:15write masterpieces

01:18:17like Mr. Asher?

01:18:18And she almost fooled us all.

01:18:19Looks like she's all

01:18:20bark and no bite.

01:18:22You've crashed

01:18:25my award ceremony.

01:18:26You slandered

01:18:27my reputation

01:18:28and you don't have

01:18:29a shred of evidence.

01:18:30All you've got

01:18:31are your empty accusations.

01:18:32So don't blame me

01:18:34for sending you

01:18:35straight to jail.

01:18:40Security!

01:18:42Get this woman!

01:18:46Wait!

01:18:49Wait, wait, wait!

01:18:50This is part of

01:18:52the manuscript

01:18:52of the burning bush!

01:19:00It looks like

01:19:01written on all

01:19:01these scraps of papers

01:19:03are parts of

01:19:03the original manuscripts

01:19:05from all of

01:19:06Mr. Asher's

01:19:07award-winning novels!

01:19:09Oh my God!

01:19:10Is she actually

01:19:11the real author

01:19:12of those books?

01:19:13What a plot twist!

01:19:15Johnny,

01:19:17please explain

01:19:18those manuscripts

01:19:19scrap!

01:19:20Those are my

01:19:24manuscript scraps.

01:19:26I, you know,

01:19:27have this funny habit

01:19:28where I take notes

01:19:29whenever inspiration

01:19:30scrap.

01:19:32That's right!

01:19:34Those are my

01:19:34dad's manuscripts.

01:19:36His writing style

01:19:37is unconventional.

01:19:43Jonathan,

01:19:44since you admit

01:19:45that these are

01:19:46the original manuscripts,

01:19:47scripts, we can determine

01:19:48the true author

01:19:49through a handwriting

01:19:50analysis.

01:19:51I have nothing

01:19:52to hide.

01:19:53And I would relish

01:19:55the opportunity

01:19:56to prove you wrong.

01:19:57But everybody knows

01:19:59that takes

01:20:00a forensic expert.

01:20:02No fraud

01:20:03would agree to that.

01:20:05Mom,

01:20:05you're grasping

01:20:07at straws.

01:20:08Just let it go.

01:20:08Hurry up

01:20:12and throw her out!

01:20:14Uh, uh, uh, uh,

01:20:14actually,

01:20:15we have

01:20:17a forensic

01:20:17handwriting expert

01:20:19here,

01:20:20one of our

01:20:21honored guests.

01:20:22Perhaps

01:20:23they could do

01:20:24the handwriting

01:20:24comparison.

01:20:25The results

01:20:33of the restoration

01:20:33just came in.

01:20:34It looks like

01:20:35we were able

01:20:35to find

01:20:36what you were

01:20:36looking for.

01:20:45Huh.

01:20:48Yeah.

01:20:50That's great.

01:20:52I gotta run.

01:20:52Thank you so much.

01:20:55The results

01:21:17of the restoration

01:21:18just came out.

01:21:19Good.

01:21:20I'll be waiting.

01:21:21Well,

01:21:21I hope that was

01:21:22your little lover

01:21:23rushing over

01:21:23to help you.

01:21:24If so,

01:21:25it'll be easier

01:21:25to put you

01:21:25both in jail.

01:21:26Are you so sure

01:21:27that I'm the one

01:21:28getting arrested?

01:21:29Oh,

01:21:29stop bluffing.

01:21:30Stop bluffing,

01:21:32Mom.

01:21:33Soon,

01:21:33you'll have

01:21:34nothing to laugh

01:21:35about.

01:21:35Those little

01:21:36scrapped paper

01:21:37don't prove

01:21:38anything.

01:21:40You brought

01:21:40this upon

01:21:40yourself,

01:21:41Anne.

01:21:41You used

01:21:42to have

01:21:42a luxurious

01:21:43life

01:21:44being taken

01:21:44care of,

01:21:45but your

01:21:46stubborn,

01:21:47jealous little

01:21:47heart

01:21:48has cost

01:21:49you

01:21:49everything.

01:21:50You used

01:21:51to have

01:21:51a sweet

01:21:52husband,

01:21:53a loving

01:21:53family,

01:21:54big house,

01:21:55nice car.

01:21:56I could go on.

01:21:58You were

01:21:59even the heiress

01:22:00to an elite

01:22:01publishing company.

01:22:03Roy Publishing

01:22:04was at its peak

01:22:05when Mr. Asher

01:22:06was set

01:22:07to become

01:22:07CEO.

01:22:08own.

01:22:08But now,

01:22:11your stock?

01:22:15Both

01:22:16professionally

01:22:16and

01:22:17personally.

01:22:21The results

01:22:23of the

01:22:23handwriting

01:22:24analysis

01:22:24are out.

01:22:29According

01:22:30to this

01:22:30analysis,

01:22:31the handwriting

01:22:32on the

01:22:32manuscripts

01:22:33of the

01:22:34burning

01:22:34bush

01:22:34and

01:22:35the

01:22:35other

01:22:3516

01:22:36novels

01:22:36all

01:22:37belong

01:22:38to

01:22:38Anne

01:22:41Roy.

01:22:47You only

01:22:48burned the

01:22:48manuscripts

01:22:49that I had

01:22:49recompiled.

01:22:50The originals

01:22:51were written

01:22:52over the course

01:22:53of 25 years

01:22:54whenever and

01:22:55wherever I could

01:22:56find a moment.

01:22:57All while I

01:22:58served this

01:22:58family as a

01:22:59dedicated wife

01:23:00and mother.

01:23:00Oh my god,

01:23:05this is so

01:23:06exciting.

01:23:06I think I'm

01:23:07having a heart

01:23:07attack.

01:23:08This proves

01:23:09nothing.

01:23:11Anyone could

01:23:11have copied

01:23:12dad's books

01:23:12down on

01:23:13sticky notes.

01:23:17Those

01:23:17manuscripts

01:23:18were written

01:23:18on receipts,

01:23:20greeting cards,

01:23:20newspaper margins.

01:23:23All of them

01:23:23clearly dated

01:23:24spanning the

01:23:25course of

01:23:26two and a

01:23:26half decades.

01:23:30Johnny,

01:23:31you can't

01:23:32let her

01:23:32do this.

01:23:33You have

01:23:33to explain.

01:23:38Don't

01:23:39oversell

01:23:39yourself.

01:23:40All those

01:23:41menial house

01:23:41tasks you did

01:23:42back home,

01:23:44they're just

01:23:45like you.

01:23:47Worthless.

01:23:48I'll be

01:23:58there as

01:23:58soon as I

01:23:58can,

01:23:59man.

01:24:12Oh,

01:24:13Ann,

01:24:14look at

01:24:15you.

01:24:15you're so

01:24:16emotionally

01:24:17unstable

01:24:18that you're

01:24:19going to

01:24:19cry over

01:24:20a bunch

01:24:20of scraps

01:24:21of paper.

01:24:22You are

01:24:23a stay-at-home

01:24:24housewife.

01:24:26You've

01:24:26had nothing

01:24:27but time

01:24:27to sit

01:24:28and doodle

01:24:28and copy

01:24:29down my

01:24:30manuscripts.

01:24:30What,

01:24:30you think

01:24:31this proves

01:24:31anything?

01:24:31You could

01:24:32have been

01:24:32just copying

01:24:33my novels

01:24:33before they're

01:24:34even published.

01:24:35He has

01:24:36a point

01:24:36and

01:24:37must have

01:24:38secretly copied

01:24:39down Jonathan's

01:24:39manuscript.

01:24:40mom is

01:24:43clearly

01:24:43crazy

01:24:44obsessed

01:24:44with

01:24:44dad.

01:24:45Emphasis

01:24:46on the

01:24:46crazy.

01:24:47She probably

01:24:47copied down

01:24:48his manuscript

01:24:48whenever she

01:24:49had time.

01:24:50I've seen

01:24:50her do

01:24:51it with

01:24:51my own

01:24:52two eyes.

01:24:53Oh,

01:24:54that's what

01:24:54it was.

01:24:55Anything

01:24:55makes sense

01:24:56now.

01:24:57What a

01:24:57psychotic

01:24:58woman.

01:24:59She's trying

01:24:59to ruin

01:25:00him because

01:25:01she can't

01:25:01have him.

01:25:02do you

01:25:07hear that

01:25:07Ann?

01:25:09You

01:25:29idea

01:26:12don't

01:26:13regret being

01:26:13a stay-at-home

01:26:14mom.

01:26:15Nothing

01:26:15gave me

01:26:16more pleasure

01:26:17than making

01:26:17sure that my

01:26:18family was

01:26:19loved and

01:26:25I'll

01:26:26nurture
