00:00:01For 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.
00:00:11He was having an affair with another woman.
00:00:13And 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. Just like that.
00:00:27Have fun at the Real Play Concerts.
00:00:29I wish I could join you.
00:00:31Especially since tonight's our anniversary.
00:00:33Hmm. It's a work thing, honey.
00:00:35Besides, you don't even like your music.
00:00:37Oh, actually, I do like-
00:00:38Honey, I gotta go.
00:00:40Can't wait for dinner. Make me, uh, something delicious.
00:00:43Okay, honey.
00:00:54Dan, the job of the 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 I could do is give you some credit, right?
00:01:03Henry, 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.
00:01:08I've already prepared everything for Jonathan to take over and see you.
00:01:10Dan, why'd probably change your family business?
00:01:12I'm just looking over at your path.
00:01:14We'll talk about this later.
00:01:15Gotta run, Henry.
00:01:16Have to call Jonathan to see what time he's coming home.
00:01:18Now.
00:01:29That's weird.
00:01:30The concert should be over by now.
00:01:35Don't you want to answer your wife's call?
00:01:37She's so annoying.
00:01:39She can't go a single day without calling, but 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.
00:01:50Okay, yes. I will be right home, honey.
00:01:53Alright.
00:01:54When 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 if I have someone like you.
00:02:05You better be telling the truth.
00:02:06Oh, I swear on that one.
00:02:08But you are the only woman I know.
00:02:13Fuck!
00:02:15Okay, 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.
00:02:21Okay.
00:02:22You better be closer soon.
00:02:24I'm sick of this.
00:02:25Olivia, 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.
00:02:34She's back.
00:02:35And just in time, dinner's ready.
00:02:37How was the concert? Was it fun?
00:02:39No, 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.
00:02:46Oh, Olivia called. She said she'll be back soon.
00:02:55Oh my God, wait.
00:02:56That looks just like famous author Jonathan Asher.
00:02:59They-
00:03:00Oh, shit.
00:03:01Honey, did you hear me?
00:03:03Huh? What?
00:03:04I'm sorry, honey, what did you say?
00:03:05Olivia and Ken, they're gonna be joining us for dinner.
00:03:08Okay, that's great, honey.
00:03:26He may not have taken me to that Real Play concert, but he got me this beautiful necklace.
00:03:31I've chosen a good man to marry.
00:03:36Hey, Dad.
00:03:37It's the big sober anniversary today, right?
00:03:3925 years of marriage. Wow.
00:03:41Don't you think our amazing little housewife deserves a little something?
00:03:44Yes, of course.
00:03:47Anne, my angel, whatever you do, do not forget.
00:03:50You're not just my wife.
00:03:53You're my whole life.
00:03:58Thank you, my love.
00:03:59Hurry up and open it, Mom.
00:04:01A pen.
00:04:08A pen.
00:04:09Do 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.
00:04:20Dad, you're such a romantic.
00:04:22I noticed you write the same acknowledgment in every book to my most beloved Anne.
00:04:28Without 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.
00:04:39Price can significantly 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 reasons.
00:04:53What's wrong with your mother?
00:04:58She's just being dramatic.
00:05:00Look, after all, she's only a housewife.
00:05:02Dad, 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
00:05:12at a Fortune 500 company.
00:05:13Let me also congratulate you, Mr. Asher, to the next CEO of Roy Publishing.
00:05:22No, maybe he got that necklace for Olivia.
00:05:25I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
00:05:28Anne, is it just me, or does this look kinda like your husband?
00:05:37Is Jonathan chaining on me?
00:06:01Lillianne, my muse, happy anniversary.
00:06:05Every 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.
00:06:12Lillianne.
00:06:14Lillianne.
00:06:16To 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?
00:06:32What is wrong with you, woman?
00:06:33Is this the work you've been so busy with?
00:06:35Who the hell is Lillianne?
00:06:38Did you go through my lens?
00:06:39This is an invasion of my privacy.
00:06:40Oh, you're really gonna turn this back around on me when you were the one who brought evidence
00:06:43of your affair into our home?
00:06:44Lillianne and I are professional acquaintances.
00:06:46We 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 gonna tell me the cheap eyes are necessary to discuss your work dress
00:07:01and lazy laundry.
00:07:02You're an unstable child.
00:07:04And your woman is our anniversary and I am not gonna just sit here and listen to your
00:07:07insane accusations.
00:07:09I'll be in my study.
00:07:13You don't know, you don't.
00:07:14You are gonna stand there, you are gonna explain everything to me.
00:07:16Mom, calm down.
00:07:17This is all a big misunderstanding.
00:07:19Okay, Lillianne is a good person.
00:07:21Her and dad have a professional relationship.
00:07:24You know her?
00:07:25You're gonna defend some other woman?
00:07:26Mom, Lillianne is a literary agent at Roy Publishing House.
00:07:30Her and dad work together.
00:07:31It's her job.
00:07:32Look, I get it.
00:07:33You've been a stay-at-home mom my whole life.
00:07:35Obviously, you don't know how the publishing world works.
00:07:37Wait a second.
00:07:40How long have you known about them?
00:07:43Look like 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 me.
00:07:51Let go!
00:07:52Clearly, you watched too many soap operas and they filled your head with crazy ideas.
00:07:55My own baby calling me crazy.
00:08:00Is 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?
00:08:23Did those shoes shine themselves?
00:08:25Three meals a day for 25 years?
00:08:29These hands have been soaked in detergent and grease and oil.
00:08:35Every day you should 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!
00:08:50So first you're mad about some imaginary fear.
00:08:55Then you're mad about how you have chosen to spend your life.
00:09:00You're a stay-at-home mom, man.
00:09:02A housewife.
00:09:03Cooking, cleaning, raising the kids.
00:09:05That's the job.
00:09:06That's what you're supposed to do?
00:09:07What do you want us to give you a medal?
00:09:08You're right.
00:09:09I did choose this life.
00:09:11And I have done my best to live up to my duties as a wife.
00:09:14So shouldn't you live up to your duties as a husband?
00:09:17At the very least you should be faithful in your marriage.
00:09:19One that should be faithful is the one that depends on your paycheck.
00:09:23My God.
00:09:24How could you say something so hurtful?
00:09:27You want to embarrass yourself?
00:09:29In 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?
00:09:44Have 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.
00:09:51Oh, 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.
00:10:00What, you gonna go out there?
00:10:02Tell the whole world you wrote my collected works?
00:10:04Who is gonna believe me?
00:10:06A housewife.
00:10:07Especially one that's gone mad.
00:10:08You clearly have.
00:10:09I'll just show them my manuscripts.
00:10:11All 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.

00:17:48jonathan we built this house together from the ground up we've been through thick and thin together
00:17:54for 25 years do you really want to demolish it all you said i was your life but then you turned
00:18:02around and embraced another woman was everything a lie i'm willing to sacrifice everything for my
00:18:09family but i will not tolerate betrayal today i will tell you the whole truth it will be your very
00:18:16last chance
00:18:30what's the meaning of this
00:18:35jonathan it's exactly what you wanted ann we're getting a divorce
00:18:47are you sure about this oh i've already signed the papers
00:18:53so i was willing to try and save our marriage but you've already written it off
00:18:57henry go ahead and announce his position as ceo but i will be having one condition i'll be taking
00:19:02over as chairwoman again therefore any hiring that's done such as ceo will require my approval

00:19:10what a shame i was thinking about giving you all a second chance oh stop bluffing your truth is you
00:19:18could come in here you could crawl egg me i never let you back in this house mom it's one thing to
00:19:24throw a tantra at home but it's a different thing entirely to cause the scene at the company
00:19:28if dad is a public figure you almost destroyed his career and you think he's going to be willing to
00:19:32reconcile exactly ann you shouldn't have tried to expose mr asher for using a ghost writer he might have
00:19:39let you say and write more books for him jonathan you know deep down inside that without me he will
00:19:46never write another word do you really think that i need to rely on writing for a living
00:19:52soon the entire company will be mine so you really think that you'll be unstoppable once
00:19:56your ceo is that why you're in such a hurry to get rid of me the faithful wife who stood by your
00:20:02side for thick and thin and trade me in for some shiny new toy what or who i play with is none of
00:20:09your business i have kept a roof over your head for years i can forgive your ungratefulness but
00:20:16i cannot forgive you stabbing me in the back during the most pivotal moment of my career i mean how am i
00:20:22supposed to stay with such a vile woman by my side what on earth are you talking about i have never
00:20:27stabbed you in the back without me you would still be an unpublished wannabe and not the next ceo of
00:20:32roy publishing your storytelling skills have really gone down the drain mom you should really stop with
00:20:38the soap opera shit like what's next you're gonna tell us you're a wealthy heiress you need to stop
00:20:43saying this idiotic stuff or people are gonna think you're a joke that's right i'm a joke a joke for
00:20:51being so blind for choosing a selfish brilliant man to be my husband like you grab your thankless
00:20:58daughter like you you're having a pushover for a son-in-law you're right olivia how could i have
00:21:04spent 25 years of my life catering to you ungrateful liars i must have been delusional
00:21:12i'll sign the divorce papers from now on i have no connection to this family
00:21:21wait
00:21:31whoa what are you doing you can't just get a divorce like that
00:21:35this is a supplemental document you must agree to its terms dad's assets aren't pocket change you
00:21:41can't just take half especially since they'll eventually come to me how can you be so cold
00:21:48first you're kicking me out of now you want me to leave empty-handed
00:21:52olivia you're my daughter don't you have any sympathy for me i'm not like you mom i'm a career
00:21:58woman don't take it personally she always looks too emotional why does everyone in this family look
00:22:05down on me i've taken care of you well for 25 years i give you everything that i have mom you didn't do
00:22:10shit for 25 years so what you cooked us a few meals you didn't earn a single cent for this family
00:22:18dad was the one who consistently worked enslaved and earned every penny that was put into this house
00:22:25not you did you ever stop to think about why roy publishing house gave your father a chance
00:22:31why they groomed him for all of these years well obviously because dad is incredibly talented
00:22:36dad is about to become the ceo of roy publishing house he'll have stocks worth tens of millions of

00:27:01right yeah you're just a junior agent at roy publishing aren't you are you even qualified to
00:27:05make this kind of announcement because i was under the impression that henry harper the ceo was the
00:27:11only one with that kind of authority you stupid housewife you don't understand what happens in
00:27:17the professional world the ceo is a very busy man and so i am entrusted to deliver this announcement
00:27:25did he really entrust you with this announcement well then why don't we just go ahead and give him
00:27:30a call to confirm
00:27:37mom stop embarrassing yourself why would a housewife like you have the ceo's number
00:27:42roy publishing house has tens of thousands of employees do you really expect the ceo to do
00:27:47everything himself sweet lillian is one of his top agents and she absolutely has the authority to come
00:27:53here and notify us i wasn't talking to you you're just starting off you only have a few clients don't
00:27:58you dear what do you know about how an elite publishing company works i know more than you do
00:28:04what do you think real work is going out and buying groceries or doing the laundry please just just
00:28:10stop mom you're embarrassing yourself be gentler to your mother olivia oh and you know i completely
00:28:17understand where you're coming from you've been in the house for so long of course you're a little
00:28:23ignorant i really do take pity on you but now it's time for someone more what did you go over
00:28:33i'm lucky to have found one dad i'm so happy for you too with your reputation and lily's
00:28:40business acumen you guys are a match made in heaven johnny ceo you must be checking in to see
00:28:50before the good news yet hurry up answer it yeah and put it on speaker so someone can hear what the
00:28:55ceo really has to say hello mr harper yeah i told you convenient with hr where the hell you want off to
00:29:02you're you idiot
00:29:09hi mr harper i'm at mr asher's house i told you the stuff that made it with hr did you skip out
00:29:15work hours didn't you think to inform mr asher i told you i would personally inform him you are just
00:29:21an agent what right you have doing my job for me i'm sorry mr harper i just thought i'd pick the
00:29:27initiative i'll be there soon stay right where you are uh yes sir
00:29:40what's wrong yeah the seat doesn't sound too happy nothing's wrong i was just in such a
00:29:47rush of good news i completely forgot that mr harper actually wanted to personally tell you
00:29:53so he's actually honestly whoa whoa the ceo is personally coming to my house to announce me as
00:30:00his successor but it's like i said you didn't have that authority if the ceo is coming here to
00:30:06congratulate dad personally i think he respects him of course he does your father is a best-selling
00:30:12author and renowned in the industry it's only fitting that he succeeds as the next ceo oh my my
00:30:20my i think you're all mistaken you see the ceo is only coming here because the chairwoman asked him
00:30:26to jonathan's appointment as ceo well ultimately that decision lies with her what chairwoman lily does
00:30:35roy publishing house even have a chairwoman nothing i know of well who is she like she even knows
00:30:43oh but i do the chairwoman of roy publishing is me
00:31:02drop the act mom like do you even know what a chairwoman does she probably asked chat gpt
00:31:07and please you gotta stop launching your ignorance when we were younger we called it naivete but now
00:31:14that you're old and washed up and haggard it's just plain foolishness she probably read so many
00:31:20trashy novels she can't even keep up with reality anymore she's stuck in her own fantasy world that's
00:31:27what it is she's delusional okay yeah i can play along with that greetings chairwoman ann
00:31:37are you going to strip me of everything i've ever earned are you going to kick me out of
00:32:06broad publishing room yes chairwoman ann aren't you going to blacklist me from the publishing world
00:32:16and shutter my company are you going to make your ungrateful daughter regret everything

00:32:31and let us actone for our sins oh and well what about me what would you like me to do
00:32:40go ahead and laugh the ceo will be here soon he'll confirm whether or not i'm telling the truth

00:43:56front of the men this year we cannot let him keep making money off false pretenses it's time to take
00:44:00back what's yours henry i said just give me some time to think and you're too nice you might give
00:44:06in again but jonathan won't
00:44:12what kind of a psychopath hides their identity for decades you know what i bet she did this just
00:44:17so she doesn't have to share her assets with us she was just a boring housewife mopping floors
00:44:20yesterday but now she's the chairwoman of top publishing company this must be a joke
00:44:29oh god hold your horses and is just a housewife she's got no experience there's no way she can

00:44:55winner of a nobel prize in literature and when i take the stage and give my acceptance speech i am
00:45:02going to announce that ann and henry are having a scandalous affair when their reputations are completely
00:45:08destroyed and the company's stock scratch the board members are going to be ready to take over

00:45:36of the shareholders we members of the board wish for you to resign as shareholders you're trying to
00:45:45fire ann is this because of jonathan's meddling disgusting old man the revenue from mr asher's
00:45:50books accounts for about 40 percent of this company's profits additionally since he is poised to win
00:45:57the nobel prize his market value is about to skyrocket soon we cannot lose a cash cow like jonathan
00:46:05asher ms roy must make up for this loss

00:46:24i am more than just jonathan's ex-wife i am ann roy i have achieved everything that i've ever set my
00:46:34mind to and i have done so without relying on jonathan for a single penny

00:50:35board
00:50:51excuse me
00:50:55jonathan asher is a fraud
00:51:05Who is this woman? What kind of person causes a scene as such a prestigious award?
00:51:09Oh my god, I know her.
00:51:11That's Jonathan's ex-wife.
00:51:15Mom, what are you doing here?
00:51:17This is the Nobel Prize award ceremony.
00:51:20I'm warning you, don't start anything.
00:51:22Naturally, I'm here at this award ceremony in my role as chairwoman of Roy Publishing.
00:51:28Ah, I know what she's doing.
00:51:30Jonathan, she got all dressed up so she could barge in here to this event in bed.
00:51:35In all honesty, a spatula and an apron better suits you.
00:51:42And if she thinks she can compete with a stunner like you, she's sorely mistaken.
00:51:51Babe, you are too sweet.
00:51:56In case you haven't heard, your husband...
00:52:00Oh no, your ex-husband has already proposed to me.
00:52:06Just days ago, you were begging to grow old with me and now you've already proposed to another woman?
00:52:10Talk about jumping the gun.
00:52:11Now that I'm free of you, you filthy gold digger, I've decided to move on with my life.
00:52:17Start a new one.
00:52:19On her first day of which she lived together, he gave me this million dollar diamond ring.
00:52:24What did you get?
00:52:25After 25 years.
00:52:27Hmm?
00:52:27A plastic hotel pen.
00:52:28Go ahead and laugh.
00:52:34Once I take back everything that belongs to me, you won't be laughing anymore.
00:52:40Babe, you have nothing that belongs to you anymore.
00:52:43Your husband, your child, the home that you put your whole life soul into...
00:52:47It's all mine.
00:52:51Everything that belongs to you?
00:52:54Oh, come on in.
00:52:55Good luck with that.
00:52:56We don't owe you anything.
00:52:59Dad is a Nobel Prize laureate now.
00:53:02Bet you're having some regrets, Mom.
00:53:04But it's too late.
00:53:05Even without you, Mr. Asher's reputation will let us dominate the publishing world.
00:53:10Huh.
00:53:11Are you sure about that?
00:53:13Don't try to bluff, Mom.
00:53:14Everyone knows Dad is the true pillar of the Roy Publishing House.
00:53:17Ever since you kicked out your biggest author, now you're going to be the laughingstock of the entire publishing world.
00:53:23Miss Roy, you really shouldn't have gone against us.
00:53:25Your biggest mistake was believing you were more than just a sheltered housewife.
00:53:32So because I was a housewife, you all think it's okay to humiliate me?
00:53:36I mean, look around, Mom.
00:53:38Everyone's here because they believe in Dad.
00:53:40His reputation, his prestige, they all just want to revel in his success.
00:53:47You know the company can't survive without Ken.
00:53:51So you're all here to grab a piece of Jonathan Asher's glorious reputation.
00:53:57Well, there's just one little problem.
00:53:59It's all fake.
00:54:00What does she mean by that?
00:54:06Oh, she's a lonely, vengeful ex-wife trying to bleed her ex-husband dry.
00:54:13How pathetic.
00:54:15I'm guessing that she neglected her husband during her marriage.
00:54:18And now that she's passed the side, she's finally regretting it.
00:54:21What an ignorant woman.
00:54:24Jonathan, did you forget how your books were actually written?
00:54:28The acknowledgements you wrote at the front.
00:54:30The acknowledgements were written for me.
00:54:33I am Jonathan's real muse.
00:54:35After he ditched his basic or in-house wife like you,
00:54:39now Jonathan can be inspired to write even better novels.
00:54:43Oh, it's real muse.
00:54:48That's beautiful.
00:54:49Did you inspire him with all of your lacy underwear?
00:54:54You think you can humiliate me?
00:54:57Look at me.
00:54:57I'm gorgeous, seductive, like a luxury purse.
00:55:03You're just a filthy kitchenette.
00:55:04Jonathan, it seems that you haven't taught your new fiancée the truth yet.
00:55:14But don't worry, I can do that right now.
00:55:16The truth is that the copyrights to Jonathan Asher's novels do not belong to him.
00:55:28That's right.
00:55:30The copyrights were transferred to me.
00:55:32We wanted to make sure you didn't get one cent from royalties.
00:55:36You transferred the copyrights to your mistress?
00:55:39I've known you for 25 years, and all those 25 years you were a stingy miser.
00:55:42Lily's my true love.
00:55:44And she's now my fiancée, so everything that belongs to me belongs to her.
00:55:48Mr. Asher, you're a real romantic.
00:55:51And it was all my idea, Mom.
00:55:53Now that we kicked you out of the house,
00:55:55don't even think about coming for our wealth.
00:55:57You hit me.
00:56:03I can't believe you just hit me.
00:56:04I should have taught you a lesson a long time ago.
00:56:07Then maybe you would have grown into a person who knows right from wrong.
00:56:12Jonathan.
00:56:13You, you're the boldest liar of them all.
00:56:15You know damn well that those copyrights belong to me.
00:56:19You have no right to transfer them to your whore.
00:56:21Jonathan, what is she talking about?
00:56:27Oh, God, don't.
00:56:28Did you write all of your own novels?
00:56:29Don't believe some ravings of a madwoman, darling.
00:56:34This is your last warning.
00:56:36If you don't get the hell out of here,
00:56:39you're gonna regret.
00:56:41I'm not going anywhere.
00:56:43Today, I'm exposing the truth.
00:56:47Jonathan.
00:56:47What in the world is she talking about?
00:56:52Here it comes.
00:56:53Good evening, everyone.
00:57:15As tonight has been so inconveniently hijacked by this woman.
00:57:22I suppose it's appropriate to introduce you.
00:57:25Everyone, this is my ex-wife, Pam.
00:57:27For 25 years, I have worked like a dog to provide you with a life of love.
00:57:34Meanwhile, she and former CEO of Boy Publishing House, Mr. Henry Harper,
00:57:45have been having a sordid affair.
00:57:48Since then, the two have conspired to oust myself,
00:57:55my lovely daughter Olivia, out of the company and blacklist us from the industry.
00:58:00She's tiny Harper's mistress, betraying her husband and her daughter.
00:58:08How shameless.
00:58:09I never wanted to expose you like this, Anne, due to all our years together.
00:58:13But today, you turned too far.
00:58:14Coming in here,
00:58:16tarnishing my reputation.
00:58:18So don't blame me for exposing your secret affair to the press.
00:58:23You brought this out yourself.
00:58:23Jonathan, how dare you try and twist the facts like this?
00:58:28Have you no shame?
00:58:30You shouldn't come here today.
00:58:32Now the whole world knows you're a cheating slut.
00:58:35Who's going to believe your empty accusations now?
00:58:39So if I got this right,
00:58:41the CEO and chairwoman of the Relief Publishing House had an affair,
00:58:45and then I'll see you from the company as revenge for uncovering it?
00:58:48This is a huge slut.
00:58:52Once the news breaks,
00:58:53Relief Publishing House's stocks are going to blow.
00:58:57What are you going to tell the board members next?
00:59:03I see you've got it all planned out.
00:59:05You're willing to tell outright lies about me,
00:59:08to destroy me, not all just for money?
00:59:09You need to understand that ruining you is easier than lifting my pen.
00:59:14This is what you need to learn your place.
00:59:18What happened to you?
00:59:19You're a monster.
00:59:21Just admit that you lost, Anne.
00:59:24I could destroy you right now.
00:59:26I won't.
00:59:26Given our years together,
00:59:27if you can shut your mouth
00:59:29and be the subservient housewife that you once were,
00:59:31I may take it easy.
00:59:38You think you're so clever.
00:59:40You disgust me.
00:59:43Acclaimed guest,
00:59:43I came here today to expose a dirty lie.
00:59:47All of Jonathan Asher's novels were actually written by me.
00:59:53I, his wife of 25 years,
00:59:55am the true author of all of his books.
00:59:57This woman is crazy.
01:00:01Ever since I divorced her,
01:00:03she's been having a mental breakdown.
01:00:05She is hallucinating
01:00:06that she wrote all my novels.
01:00:09The truth is,
01:00:10she can't accept the fact
01:00:11that her life,
01:00:13it's a matter of nothing.
01:00:14I can testify to that.
01:00:16My dad wrote all those books.
01:00:17That's the absolute truth.
01:00:18Exactly.
01:00:19Exactly.
01:00:20Mr. Asher is the author.
01:00:21Of course Jonathan wrote all of his own novels.
01:00:24I'm the inspiration.
01:00:26Or his masterpieces.
01:00:27That's right, my darling.
01:00:28I wrote every single line.
01:00:31Every single line was written for you?
01:00:36You're delusional.
01:00:37You lunatic.
01:00:39You don't have a shred of evidence.
01:00:41Who's going to believe your empty accusation?
01:00:43Oh, you'd like to see the evidence.
01:00:45If you can't present evidence,
01:00:48then this counts as defamation.
01:00:49And I'll put you in prison.
01:00:52Miss Roy, you should leave.
01:00:54Otherwise, we're going to have to teach you a lesson.
01:00:57I've already said I'm not leaving
01:00:58until I take back everything the Asher's took from me.
01:01:01Everything we took from you.
01:01:07Clean this stuff, housewife!
01:01:29Maybe it'll help you remember your place.
01:01:34You know, Santa, why don't you come on over here?
01:01:37Call, shine my shoes like you used to,
01:01:40and then maybe I can get you some work
01:01:41as our new maid.
01:01:45Look at Johnny trying to help you find a job.
01:01:48You can be a maid for everyone here.
01:01:55Go on.
01:01:56Show them all how good you are cleaning.
01:01:59Look there, she really is having a mental breakdown.
01:02:01If you ask me,
01:02:02she should have cut her losses
01:02:03and left way earlier.
01:02:05Cleaning up messes like this
01:02:06is all you're good for.
01:02:08Dressing up,
01:02:09trying to steal everybody's attention,
01:02:10it doesn't suit you.
01:02:15Actually, being the center of attention
01:02:17suits me just fine.
01:02:19But you're right,
01:02:19I am good at cleaning.
01:02:21And since this place is absolutely filthy,
01:02:23I'm not opposed to doing a big cleanup.
01:02:24Wow, she's really pulling off
01:02:30that filthy housekeeper look.
01:02:33What the fuck?
01:02:40You fucking crazy woman!
01:02:41I am Roy.
01:02:47Stand before you today,
01:02:48reclaiming everything that belongs to me.
01:02:50I am taking back every single thing
01:02:52that I have sacrificed
01:02:53over the past two and a half decades
01:02:54and nothing less.
01:02:57How dare she attack tonight's guest of honor?
01:03:00She's really lost her mind.
01:03:02Mom, what the hell?
01:03:03How would you splash that shit all over them?
01:03:04He'd always been like this.
01:03:06I'll hold her shrew.
01:03:08Your dirty secret.
01:03:09Tomorrow it's gonna hit the front headlines
01:03:10and you deserve it.
01:03:12Not only are you an adulterer,
01:03:13but you stole the stocks
01:03:14that rightfully belong to myself and Olivia.
01:03:17Then you come here
01:03:18to ruin the Nobel Prize ceremony.
01:03:21I'll testify on dad's behalf.
01:03:22You're a cheater and a thief.
01:03:24You're really screwed up now, Miss Roy.
01:03:26The negative press
01:03:27is gonna absolutely ruin
01:03:29what a publishing house.
01:03:32Now, Jonathan,
01:03:34you have deluded even yourself.
01:03:37You forget that everything you possess
01:03:39is built on lies.
01:03:40You don't have any evidence.
01:03:44You can't take me down
01:03:45with your empty identification.
01:03:46That's where you're wrong, dear husband.
01:03:48I do have evidence
01:03:49and I'm going to show it
01:03:50to everyone right now.
01:03:56Inside this box
01:03:57are the original manuscripts
01:03:58for all of my novels.
01:04:01I thought the original manuscripts?
01:04:04If she's telling the truth,
01:04:05this is huge news.
01:04:06No, no, she...
01:04:08You're lying.
01:04:09You're lying.
01:04:10I burned your manuscripts.
01:04:12I burned every single page
01:04:13in that entire house.
01:04:14I know.
01:04:14You have nothing.
01:04:17Johnny,
01:04:18what did you just say?
01:04:20I said, I said there are no...
01:04:21There's no such thing
01:04:22as original manuscripts.
01:04:23You're forging evidence out
01:04:25and I'm going to sue you.
01:04:26That's right.
01:04:26They must be forged.
01:04:27Stop lying, Miss Roy.
01:04:29Are you sure you burned everything?
01:04:31What if a few pages
01:04:32were left for me?
01:04:33Right, Ken?
01:04:34No.
01:04:35No way, no.
01:04:36You were all there.
01:04:37We burned everything.
01:04:38You saw.
01:04:41Shut up,
01:04:42you fucking idiot.
01:04:44Jonathan,
01:04:44what's really going on here?
01:04:47Did she really write
01:04:48holy novels?
01:04:49Listen to that delusional nonsense.
01:04:50She's taking shots in the dark.
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:53What's in that box?
01:04:54Cookie recipes?
01:04:55I know you're trying
01:04:56to use it as evidence,
01:04:57but we won't fool that easily.
01:04:58That box is probably empty
01:05:00for all we know.
01:05:01Since you all still doubt me,
01:05:03why don't I open it
01:05:03and show everyone?
01:05:11Hey, what are those?
01:05:13Those scraps
01:05:13from your silly little
01:05:14wrapping projects?
01:05:18I told you
01:05:18I didn't save anything.
01:05:20We lived with my mother
01:05:21for 25 years.
01:05:23She's just a desperate,
01:05:24delusional housewife
01:05:25trying to pass off
01:05:26my father's talent
01:05:27as her own.
01:05:28That's right.
01:05:29How could a housewife
01:05:30write masterpieces
01:05:31like Mr. Asher?
01:05:32And she almost
01:05:32fooled us all.
01:05:33Looks like she's all
01:05:34bark and no bite.
01:05:37You've crashed
01:05:38my award ceremony.
01:05:39You slandered my reputation
01:05:40and you don't have
01:05:41a shred of evidence.
01:05:42All you've got
01:05:42are your empty accusations.
01:05:44So don't blame me
01:05:45for sending you
01:05:46straight to jail.
01:05:47security!
01:05:52Get this woman!
01:05:55Wait!
01:05:58Wait, wait, wait!
01:05:59This is part
01:06:00of the manuscript
01:06:01of the burning bush?
01:06:07It looks like
01:06:08written on all
01:06:08these scraps of papers
01:06:09are parts of
01:06:10the original manuscripts
01:06:11from all of
01:06:12Mr. Asher's
01:06:13award-winning novels!
01:06:14Oh my god.
01:06:16Is she actually
01:06:17the real author
01:06:17of those books?
01:06:18What a plot twist.
01:06:20Johnny,
01:06:21please explain
01:06:22those manuscripts
01:06:23scrap.
01:06:27Those are my manuscripts
01:06:28scrap.
01:06:29I have this funny habit
01:06:31where I take notes
01:06:31whenever inspiration scrap.
01:06:34That's right.
01:06:36Those are my dad's
01:06:37manuscripts.
01:06:37His writing style
01:06:38is unconventional.
01:06:40Jonathan,
01:06:44since you admit
01:06:45that these are
01:06:46the original manuscripts,
01:06:47we can determine
01:06:48the true author
01:06:49through a handwriting
01:06:50analysis.
01:06:50I have nothing
01:06:51to hide,
01:06:52and I would relish
01:06:53the opportunity
01:06:54to prove you wrong.
01:06:55But everybody knows
01:06:57that takes
01:06:58a forensic expert.
01:06:59No fraud
01:07:00would agree to that.
01:07:02Mom,
01:07:02you're grasping
01:07:03at straws.
01:07:04Just let it go.
01:07:07Hurry up
01:07:08and throw her out!
01:07:09Actually,
01:07:10we have
01:07:12a forensic handwriting
01:07:13expert here,
01:07:14one of our
01:07:15honored guests.
01:07:16Perhaps
01:07:16they could do
01:07:17the handwriting comparison.
01:07:25The results
01:07:25of the restoration
01:07:26just came in.
01:07:27It looks like
01:07:27we were able to find
01:07:28what you were looking for.
01:07:29Yeah.
01:07:39That's great.
01:07:41I gotta run.
01:07:41Thank you so much.
01:07:42The results
01:08:02of the restoration
01:08:03just came out.
01:08:04Good.
01:08:05I'll be waiting.
01:08:05Well,
01:08:06I hope that was
01:08:06your little lover
01:08:07rushing over to help you.
01:08:08If so,
01:08:09it'll be easier
01:08:09to pick up in jail.
01:08:10Are you so sure
01:08:10that I'm the one
01:08:11getting arrested?
01:08:12Oh,
01:08:12stop bluffing.
01:08:14Stop bluffing,
01:08:15mom.
01:08:15Soon,
01:08:16you'll have nothing
01:08:17to laugh about.
01:08:18Those little
01:08:18scraps of paper
01:08:19don't prove anything.
01:08:21You brought this
01:08:22upon yourself,
01:08:23Anne.
01:08:23You used to have
01:08:23a luxurious life
01:08:25being taken care of,
01:08:26but your stubborn,
01:08:27jealous little heart
01:08:28has cost you
01:08:29everything.
01:08:30You used to have
01:08:31a sweet husband,
01:08:32a loving family,
01:08:33big house,
01:08:34nice car.
01:08:36I could go on.
01:08:37You were even
01:08:37the heiress
01:08:38to an elite
01:08:39publishing company.
01:08:41Roy Publishing
01:08:41was at its peak
01:08:42when Mr. Asher
01:08:43was set to become
01:08:44CEO.
01:08:46But now,
01:08:47you're stopped.
01:08:51Both professionally
01:08:52and...
01:08:53The results
01:08:57of the handwriting
01:08:58analysis are out.
01:09:03According to
01:09:04this analysis,
01:09:05the handwriting
01:09:05on the manuscripts
01:09:06of the Burning Bush
01:09:07and the other
01:09:0816 novels
01:09:09all belong to...
01:09:12Anne Roy.
01:09:18You only burned
01:09:19the manuscripts
01:09:19that I had recompiled.
01:09:20The originals
01:09:21were written
01:09:22over the course
01:09:22of 25 years
01:09:23whenever and
01:09:24wherever I could
01:09:25find a moment
01:09:25all while I served
01:09:27this family
01:09:27as a dedicated
01:09:28wife and mother.
01:09:31Oh my God,
01:09:32this is so exciting.
01:09:34I think I'm having
01:09:34a heart attack.
01:09:35This proves nothing.
01:09:37Anyone could have
01:09:38copied Dad's books
01:09:39down on sticky notes.
01:09:42Those manuscripts
01:09:43were written on
01:09:44receipts,
01:09:45greeting cards,
01:09:46newspaper margins.
01:09:47All of them
01:09:48clearly dated
01:09:49spanning the course
01:09:50of two and a half
01:09:51decades.
01:09:51Charlie,
01:09:55you can't let her
01:09:56do this.
01:09:56You have to explain.
01:10:01Don't overswear yourself.
01:10:02All those menial
01:10:03house tasks you did
01:10:04back home,
01:10:06they're just like you.
01:10:08Worthless.
01:10:09I'll be there
01:10:17as soon as I can, man.
01:10:18Oh man, look at you.
01:10:32You're so emotionally
01:10:33unstable that you're
01:10:35gonna cry over a bunch
01:10:36of scraps of paper.
01:10:37You are a stay-at-home
01:10:39housewife.
01:10:40You've had nothing but
01:10:41time to sit and doodle
01:10:43and copy down my
01:10:44manuscripts.
01:10:44What do you think
01:10:44just proves anything?
01:10:45You could have been
01:10:46just copying my
01:10:46novels before they're
01:10:47even published.
01:10:48He has a point
01:10:49and has a secretly
01:10:51copy down
01:10:51Jonathan's manuscript.
01:10:54Mom is clearly
01:10:55crazy obsessed with
01:10:56Dad.
01:10:57Emphasis on the crazy.
01:10:58She probably copied
01:10:59down his manuscript
01:11:00whenever she had time.
01:11:01I've seen her do it
01:11:02with my own two eyes.
01:11:04Oh, that's what it was.
01:11:05Anything makes sense now.
01:11:07What a psychotic woman.
01:11:08She's trying to ruin him
01:11:09because she can't have
01:11:11him.
01:11:14Did you hear that?
01:11:16You thought
01:11:17yourself that.
01:11:20Now, sit down
01:11:21on your knees.
01:11:23Polish my shoes
01:11:24till they sparkle.
01:11:25You made your mess,
01:11:27housewife.
01:11:30You have no idea
01:11:34how badly you regret this.
01:11:36Dad, hold on.
01:11:37I'm almost there.
01:11:37Everything I've ever
01:11:41wanted, I've achieved.
01:11:43Money, prestige,
01:11:45a fantastic lover.
01:11:47I've got it all.
01:11:48You're the one
01:11:49who should be regretting
01:11:51the choices.
01:11:52You have nothing.
01:11:56Long, you can't blame
01:11:57anyone but yourself.
01:11:59You chose to be
01:12:01a housewife.
01:12:02And you should have
01:12:02chosen to spend more time
01:12:03trying to keep
01:12:04your husband's attention.
01:12:06You're right.
01:12:08I did choose this.
01:12:10And I don't regret
01:12:10being a stay-at-home mom.
01:12:12Nothing gave me
01:12:13more pleasure
01:12:14than making sure
01:12:14that my family
01:12:15was loved
01:12:16and cared for.
01:12:19Now that I'm
01:12:19chairwoman again,
01:12:21I'll nurture
01:12:21Void Publishing
01:12:22in much the same way.
01:12:23I am going to
01:12:24reorganize this company,
01:12:26establish better standards,
01:12:27and make sure
01:12:27to blacklist
01:12:28toxic people
01:12:29like the Ashers.
01:12:32Oh, come on.
01:12:33Stop dreaming, Anne.
01:12:34The writing's on the wall.
01:12:35Void Publishing House
01:12:36is done for.
01:12:38Let me get this right.
01:12:39You think the industry
01:12:40should trust a
01:12:40homeless,
01:12:42topless,
01:12:42divorced failure
01:12:43of a housewife
01:12:44to establish
01:12:45better standards?
01:12:47You couldn't even
01:12:48keep your own house
01:12:48in order.
01:12:50They'll trust
01:12:50Anne Roy.
01:12:52They'll trust
01:12:53the heiress
01:12:53of the Roy Empire
01:12:54and the true author
01:12:55of this company's
01:12:56best-selling books.
01:12:57And your delusions
01:12:58long enough.
01:13:00Go spout
01:13:01your crazy nonsense
01:13:02elsewhere.
01:13:03Charity,
01:13:03what are you waiting for?
01:13:06Don't touch her.
01:13:10Sorry I'm late.
01:13:12No.
01:13:13You're right on time.
01:13:14Oh, good.
01:13:20Now little lover boy
01:13:21has finally arrived.
01:13:23We can send
01:13:23the two lovebirds
01:13:24to the police station
01:13:25together.
01:13:27Well, you are right
01:13:28to assume that
01:13:28someone's going
01:13:29to jail tonight.
01:13:30Oh, Mr. Harper.
01:13:32I know you just arrived,
01:13:34so you probably
01:13:34haven't heard.
01:13:35But you two
01:13:36are done for.
01:13:38Once news of your
01:13:39filthy affair gets out,
01:13:40the board members
01:13:41will kick the spouse
01:13:42out of the company.
01:13:43Then Mr. Asher
01:13:44will be asked
01:13:45to take over
01:13:46as CEO.
01:13:49That's a pretty good
01:13:50plan you got there.
01:13:51Except for one
01:13:51little hiccup.
01:13:52Anne predicted
01:13:53everything you were
01:13:53going to do
01:13:54one step ahead
01:13:54the whole time.
01:13:55She even planned
01:13:56a little surprise
01:13:57for this exact occasion.
01:14:01This here is a report
01:14:02from a forensic
01:14:03trace analyst.
01:14:04We recovered
01:14:05some shards
01:14:06of a burnt manuscript
01:14:06from the Asher
01:14:07family fireplace.
01:14:09It confirms
01:14:09the aldermen
01:14:10sent the burnt writing.
01:14:11And the results
01:14:11confirmed the
01:14:12handwriting
01:14:12and all the
01:14:13papers in there
01:14:14were that of
01:14:14Miss Anne Roy.
01:14:23That's impossible.
01:14:24Those Asher scrap,
01:14:25you can't test those.
01:14:27They're worthless.
01:14:28Shh, that's not all.
01:14:29Hold on.
01:14:30We also recovered
01:14:31deleted footage
01:14:32from your security
01:14:33cameras in your house,
01:14:34which showed you
01:14:35throwing all the
01:14:36manuscripts in the fire
01:14:37clearly.
01:14:39Johnny,
01:14:39you never did that,
01:14:41right?
01:14:41The results
01:14:42must be forged.
01:14:43That's impossible.
01:14:44No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:14:46These, these have been forged.
01:14:48This is ridiculous.
01:14:50How low can you go, Mom?
01:14:51Outright forgery?
01:14:52You're trying to trick us.
01:14:54You two are frauds.
01:14:55Only an idiot
01:14:56would be convinced
01:14:57by some trumped-up report.
01:14:59Rip it up all you want.
01:14:59That's just one of, like,
01:15:01many copies.
01:15:03It's time, Henry.
01:15:04It's time to crush
01:15:05their hopes.
01:15:05It would be my pleasure.
01:15:10Here you are.
01:15:11You should release
01:15:12the news of Jonathan's scandal.
01:15:13Please.
01:15:13All right.
01:15:20Oh, stop bluffing,
01:15:21you fool!
01:15:22How far you think
01:15:23your fake news is gonna get?
01:15:24You know how high up
01:15:25my friends are in the media?
01:15:26It won't get past
01:15:29their desk.
01:15:30All of our media contacts
01:15:43have cut ties with us.
01:15:45They're releasing headlines
01:15:46that say you used a ghostwriter
01:15:47on the front page!
01:15:50Ladies and gentlemen,
01:15:51I just received official word
01:15:52after reviewing the evidence
01:15:54provided by Ms. Lloyd.
01:15:56The Nobel Prize jury
01:15:57has reason to believe
01:15:58that all of Mr. Asher's
01:16:00novels were ghostwritten
01:16:01by her.
01:16:04They have subsequently
01:16:05decided to revoke
01:16:06Mr. Asher's award.
01:16:09Additionally,
01:16:11he is banned
01:16:12from Nobel consideration
01:16:13for life.
01:16:17Oh, my God!
01:16:19No, you can't do this!
01:16:22It's TV happening.
01:16:24His career is down the drain now,
01:16:26and he's a fan
01:16:26of the most prestigious
01:16:27publishing house.
01:16:29Jonathan Asher
01:16:29and his family
01:16:30are absolutely done for.
01:16:32All 16 books
01:16:33you publish on your own
01:16:34were written by her.
01:16:39Huh?
01:16:40I have 16 books!
01:16:41Did you write
01:16:42a single one?
01:16:43I wrote the acknowledgments.
01:16:46You wrote the acknowledgments.
01:16:50You liar!
01:16:52You've ruined my life!
01:16:54You told me!
01:16:55You wrote
01:16:55every single one
01:16:56of those books!
01:16:59How could I have
01:17:00believed
01:17:00a broad like you?
01:17:02Dad?
01:17:04What did you know?
01:17:05My business is gonna go bust!
01:17:07You're gonna kill me!
01:17:08No, darling,
01:17:10please,
01:17:10do not worry about your safety.
01:17:12I've already filed a lawsuit,
01:17:13and given this new evidence,
01:17:15you'll all be living
01:17:15in complete safety
01:17:17very soon.
01:17:19Behind prison bars.
01:17:20man,
01:17:24you're always been so nice.
01:17:26You're such a kind person
01:17:27who couldn't really do this to us,
01:17:28right?
01:17:28Get your filthy hands off!
01:17:33Pulse to us!
01:17:34I was being whipped
01:17:36by this vixen!
01:17:39I always loved you.
01:17:42You can save your fake affection.
01:17:44It disgusts me.
01:17:46Please give me another chance.
01:17:49If you go through with this,
01:17:50you'll ruin my life.
01:17:52You ruined your life
01:17:53all by yourself.
01:17:54I didn't need to help you with that.
01:17:59Please,
01:17:59I'm thanking you.
01:18:00You thought that you were
01:18:08destroying my work.
01:18:10But what you really destroyed
01:18:11was the last stride of affection
01:18:13that I had for this family.
01:18:16I wrote my manuscripts
01:18:18while making your meals.
01:18:20While changing our daughter's diapers.
01:18:22While making our house a home.
01:18:25Every single word
01:18:26that I put down on that page
01:18:27is a testament
01:18:27to what I have done
01:18:28for this family.
01:18:29Every page,
01:18:32every book,
01:18:33every accolade
01:18:34belongs to me
01:18:35and Roy.
01:18:38And you're just the parasites
01:18:39who feasted off my blood,
01:18:41sweat, and tears.
01:18:42Please,
01:18:43I'm thanking you.
01:18:46You can repent in jail.
01:18:48No, thanks to you,
01:18:58I'm thinking about
01:18:59maybe a promotion
01:19:00in your future.
01:19:01Okay.
01:19:03I'm a Nobel Prize winning author.
01:19:04I'll ghost write you a novel.
01:19:06I'll do anything you want.
01:19:07For food or
01:19:08a place to sleep.
01:19:10Anything you want.
01:19:11Just please.
01:19:12Oh,
01:19:12don't hurt me.
01:19:13I'll leave,
01:19:15I'll leave.
01:19:15I'll leave.
01:19:41Henry.
01:19:53Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.
01:19:55Well, I spoke to the agent.
01:19:57Seems as though Olivia and Jonathan had a massive falling out.
01:20:00Jonathan sold his house, and Olivia fled to Mexico.
01:20:08Guess they couldn't do so well without you after all.
01:20:10It's no longer my concern.
01:20:19I love that sofa.
01:20:20I used to lie there when I would write.
01:20:24And the dining room table, oh.
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?
01:20:35You did, I did not know that. Impressive.
01:20:37I used to love cooking in there.
01:20:39Did you ever want to cook in there again?
01:20:43Didn't you say that the house has a buyer?
01:20:46I don't understand how can I cook in someone else's kitchen.
01:20:49I'm the buyer.
01:20:50I bought the house for you.
01:20:55After all the love and time you put me to this home, only you deserve to have it.
01:21:00Henry, I can't accept that kind of gift. It's too much.
01:21:05Hold on, because there's more.
01:21:07Anne, in this life I will never let you down.
01:21:09Anne, I'll be loyal to you and our family.
01:21:15And I will be an amazing husband to you.
01:21:18Anne, will you marry me?
01:21:24I don't know what to say.
01:21:28Say yes.
01:21:29Yes.
01:21:30Yes.
01:21:30Yes.
