Perfect Landing Into Your Arms
Transcript
00:00:00For 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 something delicious.
00:00:51Okay, honey.
00:00:57And Jonathan's new book is a masterpiece.
00:01:09If I were to guess, I'd say you probably had a pretty heavy part in writing the book.
00:01:13The least he could do is give him 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.
00:01:24And why publishing is 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. The 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.
00:02:05Yes, 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.
00:02:14All right.
00:02:17When 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 love.
00:02:40Fuck!
00:02:42Okay, either they're having an affair or just really, really shy.
00:02:46Why?
00:02:47Okay, I gotta, baby, I'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.
00:03:04Hi, honey.
00:03:05You're back.
00:03:06And just in time, dinner's ready.
00:03:08How was the concert?
00:03:09Was it fun?
00:03:10No, not really.
00:03:11You know how these work things are.
00:03:12Mm.
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, wait.
00:03:31That looks just like famous author Jonathan Asher.
00:03:34No way.
00:03:35Isn't he married?
00:03:36Who's he with?
00:03:37Oh, shit.
00:03:38Oh, shit.
00:03:39Honey, 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.
00:03:48Yeah.
00:04:09He 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.
00:04:16Hey, Dad, it's the big silver anniversary today, right? 25 years of marriage. Wow. Don't you think our amazing little housewife deserves a little something?
00:04:29Yes, of course.
00:04:30Anne, my angel. Whatever you do, do not forget you're not just my wife. You're my whole life.
00:04:46Thank you, my love.
00:04:47Hurry up and open it, Mom.
00:04:48A pen.
00:04:49Do you remember the last award ceremony I attended? I couldn't stop thinking about how much you've done for this family. So I picked up this pen in my hotel bed and I wrote about how much I missed you all night long.
00:05:11Wow. Dad, you're such a romantic.
00:05:14I noticed you write the same acknowledgement in every book to my most beloved Anne. Without you, none of this would be possible. You are my muse.
00:05:24Everyone writes acknowledgments. It's no big deal. What you need to learn, Ken, is that for a good wife, love is much more valuable than jewelry. Price, insignificant.
00:05:38You better not learn that from my dad. Look, I'm not some simple housewife that's gonna 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. Look, after all, she's only a housewife.
00:06:03Dad, allow me to raise a glass to you. Ever 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.
00:06:21No, maybe he got that necklace for Olivia. I shouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.
00:06:34Anne, is it just me, or does this look kinda like your husband?
00:06:38Anne, is it just me, isn't it?
00:06:45Anne, is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:06:50Anne, is Jonathan cheating on me!?
00:06:56Anne, is Jonathan cheating on me?
00:07:00it's Jonathan cheating on me?
00:07:05Lily and my muse happy anniversary every book I write is a declaration of my love for you

00:36:12as the next CEO
00:36:13oh
00:36:14my my my
00:36:16I think you're
00:36:18all mistaken
00:36:19you see the CEO
00:36:20is only coming here
00:36:22because the chairwoman
00:36:23asked him to
00:36:24Jonathan's appointment
00:36:26as CEO
00:36:26well ultimately
00:36:28that decision
00:36:29lies with her
00:36:30what chairwoman
00:36:32Lily
00:36:33does
00:36:33Roy Publishing House
00:36:35even have a chairwoman

00:36:50drop the act mom
00:37:08like do you even know
00:37:09what a chairwoman does
00:37:10oh she probably asked
00:37:12chat GPT
00:37:13and please
00:37:16you gotta stop flaunting
00:37:17your ignorance
00:37:18when we were younger
00:37:19we called it naivete
00:37:20but now that you're old
00:37:21and washed up
00:37:22and haggard
00:37:22it's just plain foolishness
00:37:24she probably read
00:37:27so many trashy novels
00:37:28she can't even
00:37:29keep up with reality
00:37:30anymore
00:37:31she's stuck
00:37:32in her own
00:37:33fantasy world
00:37:34that's what it is
00:37:36she's delusional
00:37:38okay yeah

00:52:29well the Novo
00:52:29Foundation already
00:52:30called
00:52:30and they said
00:52:31he's the front
00:52:31we're in this year
00:52:32we cannot let him
00:52:33keep making money
00:52:34off false pretenses
00:52:35it's time to take
00:52:36back what's yours
00:52:37Henry
00:52:37I said just
00:52:39give me some time
00:52:40to think
00:52:40Anne you're too nice
00:52:42you might give in
00:52:43again
00:52:43but Jonathan won't
00:52:45what kind of a
00:52:51psychopath hides
00:52:52their identity
00:52:52for decades
00:52:53you know what
00:52:54I bet she did this
00:52:55just so she doesn't
00:52:56have to share
00:52:57her assets with us
00:52:58she was just a
00:52:58boring housewife
00:52:59mopping floors
00:53:00yesterday
00:53:00but now she's
00:53:01a chairwoman
00:53:02of a top
00:53:02publishing company

00:53:13we can still
00:53:14turn this around
00:53:14Anne is just
00:53:16a housewife
00:53:17she's got no
00:53:18experience
00:53:19there's no way
00:53:20she can handle
00:53:20the position of
00:53:21chairwoman

01:20:52so

01:21:35Those little scraps of paper don't prove anything.
01:21:40You've brought this upon yourself, Anne.
01:21:42You used to have a luxurious life being taken care of,
01:21:45but your stubborn, jealous little heart has cost you everything.
01:21:50You used to have a sweet husband, a loving family, big house, nice car.
01:21:56I could go on.
01:21:58You were even the heiress to an elite publishing company.
01:22:03Roy Publishing was at its peak when Mr. Asher was set to become CEO.
01:22:09But now, your stock?
01:22:15Both professionally and personally.
01:22:22The results of the handwriting analysis are out.
01:22:25According to this analysis,
01:22:31the handwriting on the manuscripts of The Burning Bush and the other 16 novels
01:22:36all belong to...
01:22:41Anne Roy.
01:22:42You only burned the manuscripts that I had recompiled.
01:22:51The originals were written over the course of 25 years,
01:22:54whenever and wherever I could find a moment.
01:22:57All while I served this family as a dedicated wife and mother.
01:23:00Oh my God, this is so exciting.
01:23:06I think I'm having a heart attack.
01:23:08This proves nothing.
01:23:11Anyone could have copied Dad's books down on sticky notes.
01:23:17Those manuscripts were written on receipts,
01:23:20greeting cards, newspaper margins.
01:23:22All of them clearly dated,
01:23:25spanning the course of two and a half decades.
01:23:27Johnny, you can't let her do this.
01:23:33You have to explain.
01:23:39Don't oversell yourself.
01:23:40All those menial house tasks you did back home,
01:23:44they're just like you.
01:23:48Worthless.
01:23:48I'll be there as soon as I can, Anne.
01:24:12Oh, Anne.
01:24:14Look at you.
01:24:15You're so emotionally unstable
01:24:18that you're going to cry over a bunch of scraps of paper.
01:24:22You are a stay-at-home housewife.
01:24:26You've had nothing but time to sit and doodle
01:24:28and copy down my manuscripts.
01:24:30What, you think this proves anything?
01:24:31You could have been just copying my novels
01:24:33before they're even published.
01:24:35He has a point,
01:24:37Anne must have secretly copied down Jonathan's manuscript.
01:24:40Mom is clearly crazy obsessed with Dad.
01:24:45Emphasis on the crazy.
01:24:47She probably copied down his manuscript
01:24:49whenever she had time.
01:24:50I've seen her do it with my own two eyes.
01:24:53Oh, that's what it was.
01:24:55Anything makes sense now.
01:24:57What a psychotic woman.
01:24:59She's trying to ruin him
01:25:00because she can't have him.
01:25:02Do you hear that, Anne?
01:25:09You thought you were so clever.
01:25:13Now get down on your knees.
01:25:16Polish my shoes till they sparkle.
01:25:19You made your mess, housewife.
01:25:24You have no idea how badly you'll regret this.
01:25:31Anne, hold on.
01:25:33I'm almost there.
01:25:36Everything I've ever wanted,
01:25:39I've achieved.
01:25:40Money, prestige,
01:25:43a fantastic lover.
01:25:45I've got it all.
01:25:47You're the one
01:25:47who should be regretting her choices.
01:25:52You have nothing.
01:25:55Mom,
01:25:56you can't blame anyone but yourself.
01:25:59You chose to be a housewife.
01:26:03And you should have chosen
01:26:04to spend more time
01:26:05trying to keep your husband's attention.
01:26:08You're right.
01:26:10I did choose this.
01:26:12And I don't regret being a stay-at-home mom.
01:26:15Nothing gave me more pleasure
01:26:17than making sure that my family
01:26:19was loved and cared for.
01:26:21Now that I'm chairwoman again,
01:26:25I'll nurture Roy Publishing
01:26:27in much the same way.
01:26:29I am going to reorganize this company,
01:26:32establish better standards,
01:26:33and make sure to blacklist toxic people
01:26:35like the Ashers.
01:26:37Oh, come on.
01:26:40Stop dreaming, Anne.
01:26:41The writing's on the wall.
01:26:43Roy Publishing House is done for.
01:26:46Let me get this right.
01:26:47You think the industry is to trust
01:26:49a homeless,
01:26:50jobless,
01:26:52divorce failure of a housewife
01:26:53to establish better standards?
01:26:56You couldn't even keep
01:26:58your own house in order.
01:27:00They'll trust Anne Roy.
01:27:03They'll trust the heiress
01:27:04of the Roy Empire
01:27:05and the true author
01:27:07of this company's best-selling books.
01:27:09And your delusions long enough.
01:27:13Go spout your crazy nonsense elsewhere.
01:27:16Security, what are you waiting for?
01:27:19Don't touch her.
01:27:25Sorry I'm late.
01:27:27No, you're right on time.
01:27:34Oh, good.
01:27:37Now, little lover boy
01:27:38has finally arrived.
01:27:40We can send the two lovebirds
01:27:41to the police station together.
01:27:45Well, you are right
01:27:46to assume that
01:27:46someone's going to jail tonight.
01:27:49Oh, Mr. Harper.
01:27:51I know you just arrived,
01:27:53so you probably haven't heard.
01:27:55But you two
01:27:56are done for.
01:27:58Once news of your filthy affair
01:28:00gets out,
01:28:01the board members
01:28:02will kick you both
01:28:03out of the company.
01:28:04Then Mr. Asher
01:28:05will be asked
01:28:06to take over
01:28:07as CEO.
01:28:11That's a pretty good plan
01:28:12you got there.
01:28:13Except for one little hiccup.
01:28:15Anne predicted
01:28:15everything you were going to do
01:28:16one step ahead
01:28:17the whole time.
01:28:18She even planned
01:28:19a little surprise
01:28:21for this exact occasion.
01:28:26This here is a report
01:28:27from a forensic trace analyst.
01:28:28We recovered some shards
01:28:31of a burnt manuscript
01:28:32from the Asher family fireplace.
01:28:34And it confirms
01:28:35that all the women
01:28:36sent the burnt writing.
01:28:37And the results confirmed
01:28:38the handwriting
01:28:39and all the papers in there
01:28:40were that of
01:28:41Miss Anne Roy.
