Transcript
00:00:00For 25 years, I was my husband's ghostwriter.
00:00:04I helped him become a best-selling author.
00:00:06But while I wrote page after page,
00:00:09he betrayed me.
00:00:10He was having an affair with another woman.
00:00:12And how did I find out?
00:00:14A kiss cam that caught them at a concert.
00:00:16He humiliated me in front of the whole world.
00:00:1925 years of marriage.
00:00:22Gone.
00:00:23Just like that.
00:00:27Have fun at the Real Play concert.
00:00:29I wish I could join you.
00:00:30Especially since tonight's our anniversary.
00:00:34It's working, honey.
00:00:35Besides, you don't even like your music.
00:00:37Oh, actually, I do like...
00:00:38Honey, I gotta go.
00:00:39Can't wait for her. Make me something delicious.
00:00:43Okay, honey.
00:00:54Dan, the gentleman's new book is a masterpiece.
00:00:57If I were to guess, I'd say you probably had a pretty heavy part in writing the book.
00:01:01The least it could do is give me some credit, right?
00:01:02Henry, you know I don't like the spotlight.
00:01:04Plus, Jonathan's my husband.
00:01:06What's mine is his, and vice versa.
00:01:07I've already prepared everything for Jonathan to take over to see you.
00:01:10Dan, why do I probably change your family business?
00:01:12I'm just looking over at your gav.
00:01:14We'll talk about this later.
00:01:15Got a run, Henry.
00:01:16Have to call Jonathan to see what time you're coming home.
00:01:17That's weird.
00:01:29Concert should be over by now.
00:01:34Don't you want an easier wife to call?
00:01:36She's so annoying.
00:01:38She can't go a single day without calling, without blab, about some unimportant shit.
00:01:43Hang on, baby.
00:01:45Yes, honey?
00:01:46I just wanted to know if you'd be back soon. Dinner's almost ready.
00:01:49Okay, yes. I will be right home, honey.
00:01:53All right.
00:01:53When was the last time you fucked your wife, Jonathan?
00:01:58It has been years.
00:02:00I can't stand her body anymore.
00:02:02Especially, when I have someone like you.
00:02:05You better be telling the truth.
00:02:06Oh, I swear on that one.
00:02:08You are the only woman on that.
00:02:13Fuck!
00:02:14Okay, either they're having an affair, or just really, really shy.
00:02:18Okay, I gotta, baby, I'm gonna go.
00:02:19I'm gonna catch you later.
00:02:20Okay.
00:02:21You better get closer soon.
00:02:23I'm sick of this.
00:02:24Olivia, I need you to hurry home.
00:02:26I need you to cover me in front of Mom in case something goes wrong.
00:02:28No, I'm gonna explain when I get home.
00:02:29Just hurry home.
00:02:33Hi, honey.
00:02:33I'm back.
00:02:35And just in time, dinner's ready.
00:02:37How was the concert? Was it fun?
00:02:38No, not really. You know, these are what things are.
00:02:41Well, maybe next time I should join you, then it'll be more fun.
00:02:44Oh, come on, let me have your coat.
00:02:51Oh.
00:02:51Oh, Olivia called.
00:02:53She said she'll be back soon.
00:02:55Oh, my God, wait.
00:02:56That looks just like famous author Jonathan Asher.
00:02:59Oh, shit.
00:03:02Honey, did you hear me?
00:03:04Huh?
00:03:04I'm sorry, honey, what did you say?
00:03:06Olivia and Ken, they're gonna be joining us for dinner.
00:03:08Okay, that's great, honey.
00:03:09He may not have taken me to that real play concert, but he got me this beautiful necklace I've chosen a good man to marry.
00:03:33Hey, Dad, it's the big sober anniversary today, right?
00:03:3925 years of marriage.
00:03:40Wow.
00:03:41Don't you think our amazing little housewife deserves a little something?
00:03:44Yes, of course.
00:03:46Anne, my angel, whatever you do, do not forget.
00:03:50You're not just my wife.
00:03:53You're my whole life.
00:03:54Thank you, my love.
00:03:58Hurry up and open it, Mom.
00:03:59A pen.
00:04:08Do you remember the last award ceremony I attended?
00:04:11I couldn't stop thinking about how much you've done for this family.
00:04:14So I picked up this pen in my hotel bed and I wrote about how much I missed you all night long.
00:04:19Wow, Dad, you're such a romantic.
00:04:22I noticed you write the same acknowledgement in every book to my most beloved Anne.
00:04:27Without you, none of this would be possible.
00:04:30You are my muse.
00:04:31Everyone writes acknowledgments to every deal.
00:04:33What you need to learn, Ken, is that for a good wife, love is much more valuable than jewelry.
00:04:40Price is significant.
00:04:42You better not learn that from my dad.
00:04:44Look, I'm not some simple housewife that's going to be satisfied with a hotel pen and a love note.
00:04:49I'm a career woman, and career women appreciate investment pieces.
00:04:57What's wrong with your mother?
00:04:58She's just being dramatic.
00:05:00Look, after all, she's only a housewife.
00:05:04Dad, allow me to raise a glass to you.
00:05:07Ever since you invited me to be your guest at your award ceremony, I actually have a contract at a Fortune 500 company.
00:05:13Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Asher, to the next CEO of Roy Publishing.
00:05:18Now, maybe he got that necklace for Olivia.
00:05:24I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
00:05:28Anne, is it just me, or does this look kind of like your husband?
00:05:37Is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:05:39Lily Ann, my muse.
00:06:03Happy anniversary.
00:06:04Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.
00:06:07You deserve only the finest gold and gems to adorn your precious body.
00:06:11Lily Ann.
00:06:13Lily.
00:06:15Anne.
00:06:15To my most beloved Anne.
00:06:18He was never talking about me.
00:06:20Who is this woman?
00:06:21How could you use the book that I wrote to proclaim your love for another woman?
00:06:31What is wrong with you, woman?
00:06:33Is this the work you've been so busy with?
00:06:35Who the hell is Lily Ann?
00:06:38Did you go through my things?
00:06:39This is an invasion of my privacy.
00:06:40Oh, you're really going to turn this back around on me when you were the one who brought evidence of you're a fairy to our home?
00:06:44Lillian and I are professional acquaintances.
00:06:47We discuss art and literature.
00:06:48Every book I write is a declaration of my love for you.
00:06:52I shall ensure that only the finest gold and gems adorn your precious body.
00:06:56That is a literary reference, and that is something you would not understand.
00:06:58I suppose you're going to tell me that she isn't necessary to discuss your work dress and lazy laundry.
00:07:02You're an unstable postcard, and you're ruining our anniversary, and I am not going to just sit here and listen to your insane accusations.
00:07:09I'll be in my study.
00:07:10You don't know you don't.
00:07:14You are going to stand there.
00:07:15You are going to explain everything to me.
00:07:16Mom, calm down.
00:07:17This is all a big misunderstanding.
00:07:19Okay, Lily Ann is a good person.
00:07:21Her and dad have a professional relationship.
00:07:22You know her?
00:07:24You're going to defend some other woman?
00:07:26Mom, Lily Ann is a literary agent at Roy Publishing House.
00:07:29Her and dad work together.
00:07:30It's her job.
00:07:31Look, I get it.
00:07:32You've been a stay-at-home mom my whole life.
00:07:34Obviously, you don't know how the publishing world works.
00:07:36Wait a second.
00:07:39How long have you known about that?
00:07:42Olivia, you're my daughter.
00:07:44I carried you inside of me for nine months.
00:07:46I gave up everything for you.
00:07:48And as thanks, you've been helping your father hide his affair from you.
00:07:50Let go!
00:07:51Clearly, you watch too many soap operas, and they build your head with crazy ideas.
00:07:55My own baby calling me crazy.
00:07:59Is that what you think, too?
00:08:01That I'm just some silly housewife with my head full of conspiracies?
00:08:04That I would stir up trouble for no reason?
00:08:05Well, it does seem like that's what ruined our anniversary.
00:08:09So, darling, maybe you should stick to the housework.
00:08:12Let us deal with the thinking.
00:08:14Stick to the housework.
00:08:15As if I haven't given up 25 years of my life for the both of you.
00:08:18To keep you happy and healthy and fed.
00:08:21Did those pants fold themselves and jump on into your drawer?
00:08:24Did those shoes shine themselves?
00:08:26Three meals a day for 25 years?
00:08:30These hands have been soaked in detergent and grease and quilt.
00:08:34Every day you two come home and you kick up your feet just knowing everything will be cared for.
00:08:38That I have taken care of every little detail.
00:08:41But for me?
00:08:42For the past 25 years, I have worked around the clock like a goddamn maid.
00:08:47Have I ever gotten a break?
00:08:49Ever!
00:08:49So first you're mad about some imaginary affair.
00:08:55Then you're mad about how you have chosen to spend your life.
00:09:00Your stay-at-home mom and a housewife.
00:09:03Cooking, cleaning, raising the kids.
00:09:05That's the job.
00:09:05That's what you're supposed to do?
00:09:06What do you want us to give you a medal?
00:09:08You're right.
00:09:09I did choose this life.
00:09:10And I have done my best to live up to my duties as a wife.
00:09:13So shouldn't you live up to your duties as a husband?
00:09:16At the very least, you should be faithful in your marriage.
00:09:18The one that should be faithful is the one that depends on the other's paycheck.
00:09:22My God.
00:09:24How could you say something so hurtful?
00:09:26You want to embarrass yourself?
00:09:28In front of your daughter?
00:09:30Her husband?
00:09:31For 25 years, I have been working my ass off.
00:09:37While you have been sitting here indulging in a life of luxury.
00:09:40You should be grateful.
00:09:41Between the two of us, who should really be grateful?
00:09:43Have you forgotten who helped take you from a nameless writer to a best-selling author?
00:09:48Mom, I think you need to calm down.
00:09:50Oh, I'm calm.
00:09:52Your father's the one who needs to watch himself.
00:09:54Are you threatening me?
00:09:56I'm reminding you.
00:09:57I'm the one who wrote all of those books.
00:10:01What, you gonna go out there?
00:10:03Tell the whole world you wrote my collected works.
00:10:04Who is gonna believe?
00:10:06A housewife.
00:10:07Especially one that's gone mad, which you clearly have.
00:10:09I'll just show them my manuscripts.
00:10:10All of them in my handwriting for all of your novels.
00:10:14The manuscripts.
00:10:15God, I bet that's something you keep locked up safe and sound, huh?
00:10:18God forbid something should happen to the manuscripts.
00:10:21You.
00:10:23No.
00:10:23No.
00:10:24You burned my making scripts.

00:21:16wait
00:21:28whoa, what are you doing
00:21:32you can't just get a divorce like that
00:21:34this is a supplemental document
00:21:37you must agree to its terms
00:21:39dad's assets aren't pocket change
00:21:41you can't just take half
00:21:42especially since they'll
00:21:43eventually come to me
00:21:44how can you be so cold
00:21:47first you're kicking me out
00:21:49and now you want me to leave empty-handed

00:21:57i'm a career woman
00:21:59don't take it personally
00:22:00she always wants to be emotional

00:22:06i've taken care of you both for 25 years
00:22:08i've given you everything that i had
00:22:10mom, you didn't do shit for 25 years
00:22:11so what?
00:22:13you cooked us a few meals
00:22:14you didn't earn a single cent for this family
00:22:17dad was the one who consistently worked, enslaved
00:22:21and earned every penny that was put into this house
00:22:24not you
00:22:25did you ever stop to think about why
00:22:28Roy Publishing House gave your father a chance?
00:22:30why they groomed him for all of these years?
00:22:33well obviously
00:22:34because dad is incredibly talented
00:22:36dad is about to become the CEO of Roy Publishing House
00:22:40he'll have stocks worth tens of millions of dollars
00:22:45and if he even gave half to a housewife like you
00:22:48he may as well throw all that money in the fire
00:22:52jonathan
00:22:59is this the way you feel too?
00:23:01that you earned everything for this family?
00:23:03i had nothing to do with it
00:23:05i want to hear you say it yourself
00:23:08you
00:23:09haven't contributed
00:23:11anything
00:23:13i'll tell you what
00:23:14i'll give you a little bit of alimony
00:23:16after you get divorced
00:23:17but
00:23:18as far as what's in this house

00:23:35made you a best-selling author
00:23:37gave you this huge house
00:23:39a fancy car

00:28:47the ceo
00:28:48you must be checking in to see you
00:28:50before the good news yet
00:28:51hurry up answer it
00:28:52yeah and put it on speaker
00:28:54so someone
00:28:54can hear what the ceo really has to say
00:28:56hello
00:28:58mr harper
00:28:59yeah i told you it can be in a meeting with hr
00:29:01where the hell you want off to you idiot
00:29:03hi
00:29:09mr harper
00:29:11i'm at mr asher's house
00:29:12i told you to set that meeting with hr
00:29:14did you skip out in work hours
00:29:15didn't you take to inform mr asher
00:29:17i told you i would personally inform him
00:29:19you are just an agent
00:29:21what right do you have doing my job for me
00:29:24i'm sorry mr harper i just thought i'd pick the initiative
00:29:27i'll be there soon
00:29:29stay right where you are
00:29:30uh yes sir
00:29:32yeah the ceo didn't sound to be happy
00:29:43nothing's wrong
00:29:45i was just in such a restaurant
00:29:47good news
00:29:48i completely forgot that mr harper actually wanted to personally tell you
00:29:53so he's actually on his name
00:29:55whoa whoa
00:29:55the ceo is personally coming to my house to announce me as his successor
00:30:00but it's like i said you didn't have that authority
00:30:03if the ceo is coming here to congratulate dad personally
00:30:07i think he respects him
00:30:09of course he does
00:30:10your father is a best-selling author and renowned in the industry
00:30:14it's only fitting that he succeeds as an ex-ceo
00:30:17oh my my my
00:30:20i think you're all mistaken
00:30:22you see the ceo is only coming here
00:30:24because the chairwoman asked him to
00:30:27jonathan's appointment as ceo
00:30:28well ultimately that decision lies with her
00:30:31what chairwoman
00:30:33lily does roy publishing house even have a chairwoman
00:30:36not that i know of
00:30:38well

00:31:07and please you gotta stop flaunting your ignorance
00:31:11when we were younger we called it naivete
00:31:13but now that you're old and washed up and haggard
00:31:15it's just plain foolishness
00:31:17she probably read so many trashy novels
00:31:20she can't even keep up with reality anymore
00:31:22she's stuck
00:31:23in her own fantasy world
00:31:25that's what it is
00:31:27she's delusional
00:31:28okay yeah
00:31:29i can play along with that
00:31:31greetings chairwoman ann

01:14:53You two are frauds.
01:14:55Only an idiot would be convinced by some trumped-up report.
01:14:58Rip it up all you want. That's just one of, like, many man copies.
01:15:03It's time, Henry.
01:15:04Time to crush their hopes.
01:15:06It would be my pleasure.
01:15:10E.W.N.
01:15:11Should release the news of Jonathan's scandal, please.
01:15:13All right.
01:15:19Oh, stop bluffing, you fool!
01:15:22How far you think your fake news is gonna get?
01:15:24You know how high up my friends are in the media?
01:15:27It won't get past their desk.
01:15:32Oh, it's over.
01:15:41All of our media contacts have cut ties with us.
01:15:45They're releasing headlines that say you used a ghostwriter on the front page!
01:15:49Ladies and gentlemen, I've just received official word.
01:15:52After reviewing the evidence provided by Ms. Roy,
01:15:55the Nobel Prize jury has reason to believe that all of Mr. Asher's novels were ghostwritten by her.
01:16:04They have subsequently decided to revoke Mr. Asher's award.
01:16:09Additionally, he is banned from Nobel consideration for life.
01:16:15His career is down the drain now, and he's offended the most prestigious publishing house.
01:16:28Jonathan Asher and his family are absolutely done for.
01:16:31All 16 books you publish on your own were written by her.
01:16:35I have 16 books!
01:16:41Did you write a single one?
01:16:43I wrote the acknowledgments.
01:16:46You wrote the acknowledgments.
01:16:50You liar!
01:16:52You ruined my life!
01:16:54You told me!
01:16:55You wrote every single one of those books!
01:16:56How could I have believed a broad like you?
01:17:02Dad!
01:17:03What did you know?
01:17:05My business is gonna go bust!
01:17:06You're gonna kill me!
01:17:08No, darling, please.
01:17:10Do not worry about your safety.
01:17:11I've already filed a lawsuit, and given this new evidence,
01:17:14you'll all be living in complete safety very soon.
01:17:19Behind prison bars.
01:17:20Man, you've always been so nice.
01:17:26You're such a kind person who couldn't really do this to us, right?
01:17:28Get your filthy hands off!
01:17:33Don't sue us!
01:17:35I was bewitched by this vixen!
01:17:38I always loved you.
01:17:42You can say you're fake affection.
01:17:44It disgusts me.
01:17:46Please give me another chance.
01:17:48If you go through with this, you'll ruin my life!
01:17:52You ruined your life all by yourself.
01:17:54I didn't need to help you with that.
01:17:58Please.
01:17:59I'm thanking you.
01:18:07You thought that you were destroying my work.
01:18:10But what you really destroyed
01:18:11was the last stride of affection that I had for this family.
01:18:14I wrote my manuscripts while making your meals.
01:18:20While changing our daughter's diapers.
01:18:22While making our house a home.
01:18:25Every single word that I put down on that page
01:18:26is a testament to what I have done for this family.
01:18:30Every page,
01:18:32every book,
01:18:33every accolade
01:18:34belongs to me,
01:18:35Anne Roy.
01:18:36And George is the parasite
01:18:39who feasted off my blood, sweat, and tears.
01:18:42Please.
01:18:42I'm thanking you.
01:18:46You can repent in jail.
01:18:48No, thanks to you,
01:18:58I'm thinking about maybe a promotion in your future.
01:19:01Oh my God.
01:19:03I'm a Nobel Prize winning author.
01:19:04I'll ghostwrite you a novel.
01:19:06I'll do anything you want.
01:19:07For food or
01:19:07a place to sleep.
01:19:10Anything you want.
01:19:11Just please.
01:19:12I'll leave.
01:19:12I'll leave.
01:19:14I'll leave.
01:19:15Bye.
01:19:44Bye.
01:19:45Bye.
01:19:45Bye.
01:19:45Bye.
01:19:50Henry.
01:19:52Sorry, I didn't mean to see her yet.
01:19:55Well, I spoke to the agent.
01:19:56Seems as though Olivia and Jonathan
01:19:58had a massive falling out.
01:20:00Jonathan
01:20:00sold his house
01:20:02and Olivia
01:20:03fled to Mexico.
01:20:07Guess they couldn't do so well without you after all.
01:20:10It's no longer my concern.
01:20:11I love that sofa.
01:20:11I used to lie there when I would write.
01:20:22I used to lie there when I would write.
01:20:22And the dining room table.
01:20:24And the dining room table.
01:20:25Oh.
01:20:26No matter how many times I bumped it, whatever I spilled on it, it would just wipe right up.
01:20:32Did you know that I designed the kitchen?
01:20:34You did.
01:20:35I did not know that.
01:20:36Impressive.
01:20:36Do you still love cooking in there?
01:20:38Do you ever want to cook in there again?
01:20:43Didn't you say that the house has a buyer?
01:20:44I don't understand how can I cook in someone else's kitchen.
01:20:49I'm the buyer.
01:20:52I need to pull the house for you.
01:20:54After all the love and time you put me to this home,
01:20:56only...
01:20:57only you deserve to have it.
01:21:00Henry, that...
01:21:01I...
01:21:02I can't accept that kind of gift.
01:21:04It's too much.
01:21:05Hold on, because there's more.
01:21:06Anne,
01:21:08in this life,
01:21:08I will never let you down.
01:21:11I'll be loyal
01:21:11to you
01:21:12and our family.
01:21:15And I will be an amazing husband to you.
01:21:18Anne-Royne?
01:21:21Will you marry me?
01:21:24I don't know what to say.
01:21:28Say yes.
01:21:29Yes.
01:21:31Yes.
01:21:41I don't know what to say.
01:22:06Bye.
01:22:07Bye.
01:22:07Bye.
01:22:07Bye.
01:22:08Bye.
01:22:09Bye.
01:22:09Bye.
01:22:09Bye.
01:22:10Bye.
