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.

00:10:21You, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:10:23You burned my name, you scripts.

00:19:45you will never write another word

00:19:48do you really think

00:19:50that i need to rely on writing for a living?

00:19:52soon the entire company will be mine

00:19:54so you really think that you'll be unstoppable once your CEO

00:19:57is that why you're in such a hurry to get rid of me?

00:19:59the faithful wife who stood by your side through thick and thin

00:20:03and trade me in for some shiny new toy?

00:20:07what or who i play with is none of your business

00:20:10i have kept a roof over your head for years

00:20:12i can forgive your ungratefulness

00:20:15but i cannot forgive you stabbing me in the back during the most pivotal moment of my career

00:20:21i mean how am i supposed to stay with such a vile woman by my side?

00:20:24what on earth are you talking about?

00:20:26i have never stabbed you in the back

00:20:28without me you would still be an unpublished wannabe

00:20:31and not the next CEO of Roy Publishing

00:20:32your storytelling skills have really gone down the drain

00:20:36mom you should really stop with the soap opera shit

00:20:39like what's next? you're gonna tell us you're a wealthy heiress?

00:20:42you need to stop saying this idiotic stuff or people are gonna think you're a joke

00:20:45that's right

00:20:47i'm a joke

00:20:49a joke for being so blind

00:20:52for choosing a selfish, brilliant man to be my husband like him

00:20:56for having a thankless daughter like you

00:20:59for having a pushover for a son-in-law

00:21:01you're right, Olivia

00:21:03how could i have spent 25 years of my life catering to you ungrateful liars?

00:21:08i must have been delusional

00:21:12i'll sign the divorce papers

00:21:14from now on i have no connection to this family

00:21:27wait

00:21:31whoa, what are you doing?

00:21:33you can't just get a divorce like that

00:21:35this 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

00:21:43especially since they'll eventually come to me

00:21:45how can you be so cold?

00:21:48first you're kicking me out and now you want me to leave empty handed?

00:21:51Olivia

00:21:53you're my daughter

00:21:55don't you have any sympathy for me?

00:21:56i'm not like you, mom

00:21:58i'm a career woman

00:21:59don't take it personally

00:22:01she always wants to be emotional

00:22:03why does everyone in this family look down on me?

00:22:06i've taken care of you both for 25 years

00:22:08i've given you everything that i had

00:22:09mom, you didn't do shit for 25 years

00:22:12so what? you 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

00:22:23not 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, because 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

00:22:44and if he even gave half to a housewife like you

00:22:48he may as well throw all that money in the fire

00:22:51Jonathan? is this the way you feel too?

00:23:01that you earned everything for this family?

00:23:04i had nothing to do with it

00:23:06i want to hear you say it yourself

00:23:08you

00:23:10you

00:23:11haven't contributed

00:23:12anything

00:23:14i'll tell you what

00:23:15i'll give you a little bit of alimony after your divorcee

00:23:18but

00:23:20as far as what's in this house

00:23:23you don't get anything

00:23:29oh my, what a generous offer

00:23:32Roy Publishing House gave you everything

00:23:35made you a best-selling author

00:23:38gave you this huge house

00:23:39a fancy car

00:23:41and you're still saying that it had nothing to do with me

00:23:45fine, give me that paper

00:23:48i'll sign whatever you want

00:24:05Ann, i knew this would happen

00:24:08i'll be there soon

00:24:10Jonathan, Olivia, Ken

00:24:12the way you've treated me today

00:24:13has destroyed any love that i still had left for this family

00:24:16but you've also

00:24:18destroyed your futures

00:24:20oh boo hoo

00:24:22here you go again with the soap opera stuff

00:24:41that old son of a gun he's never got any patience, does he?

00:24:44see, the ceo himself came in person to know the class

00:24:47well since the ceo is coming with such good news

00:24:51i suppose you better hurry and let him in

00:24:54come quick mr asher

00:25:21i'm sorry have we met?

00:25:23no

00:25:24but i've seen your noteworthy photos

00:25:27lilly

00:25:29well what brings you here?

00:25:30lilly we weren't expecting you to stop by

00:25:32well of course i had to come by and celebrate with you all

00:25:35congratulations on becoming the ceo of the white publishing house

00:25:39oh my god

00:25:43you've come at just the right time lilly

00:25:45mr asher is now finally divorced

00:25:47you and dad were meant to be

00:25:49the stroke of fate

00:25:51is this true?

00:25:52it's true honey

00:25:53i've finally severed all times with that miserable and true

00:25:56then we have two things to celebrate

00:25:59we can keep the festivities

00:26:01going

00:26:02well that is the best gift any bank can get

00:26:10lilly from now on

00:26:13you're a member of the family

00:26:15you should just move in already

00:26:17yes we've already emptied all the drawers for you

00:26:19don't you think you're all celebrating a bit prematurely?

00:26:22jonathan do you really think that your ceo now just because your mistress brought you some cheap champagne?

00:26:28that's enough ann i've already told you lilly is not just a mistress

00:26:32oh that's right she's a literary agent

00:26:34hmm

00:26:35so i'm sure that she's here on official business

00:26:38i think we all know what kind of work she does

00:26:47jealous hag

00:26:49don't worry mr asher

00:26:53let her say what she wants

00:26:54i am here on official business

00:26:57and the truth

00:26:59always prevails

00:27:00that's right

00:27:01yeah

00:27:02you're just a junior agent at roy publishing aren't you?

00:27:04are you even qualified to make this kind of announcement?

00:27:06because i was under the impression that henry harper the ceo was the only one with that kind of authority

00:27:12you stupid housewife

00:27:14you don't understand what happens in the professional world

00:27:18the ceo is a very busy man

00:27:21and so i am entrusted to deliver this announcement

00:27:24hmm

00:27:25did he really entrust you with this announcement?

00:27:27well then

00:27:28why don't we just go ahead and give him a call to confirm

00:27:37mom, stop embarrassing yourself

00:27:39why would a housewife like you have the ceo's number?

00:27:42roy publishing house has tens of thousands of employees

00:27:45do you really expect the ceo to do everything himself?

00:27:48sweet lillian is one of his top agents

00:27:51and she absolutely has the authority to come here and notify us

00:27:54i wasn't talking to you

00:27:56you're just starting off, you only have a few clients, don't you dear?

00:27:59what do you know about how an elite publishing company works?

00:28:02i know more than you do

00:28:04what do you think real work is?

00:28:06going out and buying groceries or doing the laundry?

00:28:09please just stop mom, you're embarrassing yourself

00:28:12be gentler to your mother, Olivia

00:28:14oh

00:28:16and

00:28:17you know i completely understand where you're coming from

00:28:19you've been in the house for

00:28:21so long

00:28:22of course you're a little ignorant

00:28:24i really do take pity on you

00:28:27but now it's time for someone more

00:28:30to take over someone's house

00:28:32how lucky to have found one

00:28:34dad

00:28:36i'm so happy for you too

00:28:38with your reputation and lily's business acumen

00:28:41you guys are a match made in heaven

00:28:46johnny, the ceo

00:28:48you must be checking in to see you for the good news yet?

00:28:51hurry up answer it

00:28:53yeah and put it on speaker so someone can hear what the ceo really has to say

00:28:57hello?

00:28:59mr harper?

00:29:00i can't be in the meeting with hr

00:29:01where the hell are you going off to, you idiot?

00:29:09hi, mr harper i'm at mr asher's house

00:29:12i told you to stop that meeting with hr

00:29:14did you skip out in work hours?

00:29:16didn't you pay to inform mr asher?

00:29:17i told you i would personally inform him

00:29:20you are just an agent

00:29:22what right you have doing my job for me

00:29:24i'm sorry mr harper i just thought i'd pick the initiative

00:29:28i'll be there soon

00:29:30stay right where you are

00:29:31yes sir

00:29:39what's wrong?

00:29:40yeah the ceo didn't sound too happy

00:29:43nothing wrong

00:29:44nothing wrong

00:29:45i was just in such a restaurant

00:29:47good news i completely forgot

00:29:50that mr harper actually wanted to personally tell you

00:29:54so he's actually on his lane

00:29:55whoa whoa

00:29:56the ceo is personally coming to my house

00:29:58to announce me as his successor?

00:30:01but it's like i said

00:30:02you didn't have that authority

00:30:04if 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

00:30:12and renowned in the industry

00:30:15it's only fitting that he succeeds as the next ceo

00:30:18oh 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

00:30:29well ultimately that decision lies with her

00:30:31what chairwoman?

00:30:32what chairwoman?

00:30:33lily does

00:30:34roy publishing house even have a chairwoman?

00:31:09please 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

00:31:16it's just plain foolishness

00:31:19she probably read so many trashy novels

00:31:20she can't even keep up with reality anymore

00:31:22she's stuck

00:31:24in her own fantasy world

00:31:26that's what it is

00:31:27she's delusional

00:31:29okay yeah i can play along with that

00:37:40don't use your twisted logic to put words in my mouth

00:37:47jonathan

00:37:49you were just a nameless aspiring writer

00:37:51i fell in love with your passion

00:44:16i bet she did this just so she doesn't have to share her assets with us

00:44:18she was just a boring housewife mopping floors yesterday

00:44:21but now she's the chairwoman of the top publishing company

00:44:24this must be a joke

00:44:29oh god

00:44:31hold your horses

00:44:32let me get some training tonight

00:44:33Anne is just a housewife

00:44:35she's got no experience

00:44:36there's no way she can handle the position of chairwoman

00:44:39truly the company must be falling apart right now

00:44:41what are you planning?

00:44:45well

00:44:47i've received an invitation from the nobel prize foundation

00:44:53you two are looking at the future winner of a nobel prize in literature

00:44:58and when i take this date

00:44:59and give my acceptance speech

00:45:01i am going to announce

00:45:03that Anne and henry

00:45:04are having a scandalous affair

00:45:06and when their reputations are completely destroyed

00:45:10the board members

00:45:11are going to be

00:45:13to take over

00:45:14take over

00:45:22Anne

00:45:23your decision to reverse Jonathan's appointment to CEO

00:45:26has already affected this company's stocks

00:45:29we understand the Roy family holds the majority of shares

00:45:33but you're still responsible for the rest of the shareholders

00:45:37we members of the board

00:45:39wish for you to resign as shareholders

00:45:42chairwoman

00:45:44you're trying to fire Anne?

00:45:45is this because of Jonathan's meddling?

00:45:47disgusting old man

00:45:49the revenue from Mr. Asher's books

00:45:51accounts for about 40% of this company's profits

00:45:54additionally, since he is poised to win the nobel prize

00:45:58his market value is about to skyrocket soon

00:46:01we cannot lose a cash cow like Jonathan Asher

00:46:05Ms. Roy must make up for this loss

00:46:12I'll take back the copyrights

00:46:16how is that possible?

00:46:19who in their right mind would ever hand over a golden egg to their ex-wife?

00:46:27I am more than just Jonathan's ex-wife

00:46:30I am Anne Roy

00:46:32I have achieved everything that I have ever set my mind to

00:46:34and I have done so without relying on Jonathan for a single penny

00:46:37I admire your courage

00:46:40but our trust comes with a price

00:46:45okay

00:46:51sign this agreement stating that if you do not get back the copyrights

00:46:56all of your stock holdings will be turned over to us

00:46:59Anne, you can't do that

00:47:04Anne, you can't do that

00:47:08I am Roy hereby agreed to the terms of this agreement

00:47:11in 24 hours I will take back the copyrights

00:47:13if I cannot, I shall willingly forfeit the entirety of my shares

00:47:33it's a deal

00:47:39it's a deal

00:47:42we look forward to the results

00:47:51Dan, that was foolish

00:47:53Jonathan's an egotistical little man

00:47:55the stuff had nothing to save his reputation

00:47:57he's never going to admit that you were his ghostwriter

00:47:59how are you going to get those copyrights back?

00:48:01I have the evidence in my possession

00:48:03and also I have a backup plan

00:48:05that's where you come in

00:48:07tomorrow is the Nobel Prize award ceremony

00:48:09I'll show Jonathan what a real regret looks like

00:48:20I'm waiting on the lab results

00:48:22I'll be waiting to hear from you

00:48:30Jonathan Asher!

00:48:38I knew it was you!

00:48:43Congratulations to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature

00:48:47Jonathan Asher!

00:48:49Jonathan Asher!

00:48:50Jonathan Asher?

00:48:55I knew it was you.

00:48:57Congratulations to the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Jonathan Asher.

00:49:01Well, thank you, but the award hasn't been signed quite yet.

00:49:03I'm such a nominee.

00:49:04Darling, nobody's more deserving of the award than you.

00:49:10Oh, my God.

00:49:11Dad, did you propose already?

00:49:17Congratulations, Mr. Asher.

00:49:19I see you wasted no time.

00:49:21I'm overjoyed to be marrying Jonathan,

00:49:24but spending a million dollars on a ring is a little over the top, don't you think?

00:49:28In my humble opinion, only a woman as beautiful as Lillianne

00:49:31is worthy of an author as talented as you, Jonathan.

00:49:35You two really make a beautiful couple.

00:49:38By the way, I heard you separated from Roy Publishing.

00:49:40Maybe in the future, we could work together?

00:49:42You can speak to me about any future book deals.

00:49:45I'm also Jonathan's agent.

00:49:47Dad, we've invited all of our friends in the media.

00:49:52Tomorrow's front pages will be plastered with your breaking news.

00:49:55Today, you will bring Roy Publishing House to its knees.

00:49:58During my acceptance speech,

00:50:00I am going to announce a scandalous affair of Anne and Henry,

00:50:05and I'm going to knock those two bastards right off their highways.

00:50:08Welcome, ladies and gentlemen.

00:50:15Thank you for attending our prestigious awards ceremony.

00:50:19Now, for tonight's main event,

00:50:22please join me in welcoming this year's recipient

00:50:25of the Nobel Prize in Literature,

00:50:27the author of the critically acclaimed novel of the Burning Bush,

00:50:32Mr. Jonathan Asher.

00:50:33Please, don't get a vote.

00:50:43Excuse me.

00:50:54Jonathan Asher is a fraud.

00:50:57Who is this woman?

00:51:06What kind of person causes a scene as such a prestigious award?

00:51:09Oh my God.

00:51:10I know her.

00:51:11That's Jonathan's ex-wife.

00:51:16Mom?

00:51:16What are you doing here?

00:51:17This is the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony.

00:51:20I'm warning you.

00:51:21Don't start me thinking.

00:51:22Naturally, I'm here at this award ceremony

00:51:24in my role as chairwoman of Roy Publishing.

00:51:27Ah, I know what she's doing.

00:51:30Jonathan, she got all dressed up

00:51:32so she could barge in here to this event in bed.

00:51:36In all honesty,

00:51:39a spatula and an apron better suits you.

00:51:42And if she thinks she can compete with a stunner like you,

00:51:46oh, no, no, no.

00:51:47She's sorely mistaken.

00:51:49Oh, babe, you are too sweet.

00:51:56Oh, in case you haven't heard,

00:51:57your husband,

00:52:00oh, no, your ex-husband,

00:52:02has already proposed to me.

00:52:05Just days ago,

00:52:06you were begging to grow old with me

00:52:08and now you've already proposed to another woman?

00:52:10Talk about jumping the gun.

00:52:12Now that I'm free of you,

00:52:13you filthy gold digger,

00:52:15I've decided to move on with my life.

00:52:17Start a new one.

00:52:17On her first day,

00:52:20officially together,

00:52:21he 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.

00:52:32Go ahead and laugh.

00:52:34Once I take back everything that belongs to me,

00:52:36you won't be laughing anymore.

00:52:37Hey, you have nothing that belongs to you anymore.

00:52:43Your husband,

00:52:44your child,

00:52:45the home that you put your whole life soul into,

00:52:49it'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

00:52:57anything.

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,

00:53:06Mr. Asher's reputation

00:53:07will let us dominate

00:53:09the publishing world.

00:53:10Are you sure about that?

00:53:13Don't try to bluff, Mom.

00:53:14Everyone knows Dad

00:53:15is the true pillar

00:53:16of Roy Publishing House.

00:53:17Ever since you kicked out

00:53:18your biggest author,

00:53:19now you're going to be

00:53:20the laughingstock

00:53:20of the entire publishing world.

00:53:22Miss Roy,

00:53:23you really shouldn't have

00:53:24gone against us.

00:53:25Your biggest mistake

00:53:26was believing you were

00:53:27more than just a

00:53:28sheltered housewife.

00:53:30So because I was a housewife,

00:53:33you all think it's okay

00:53:34to humiliate me?

00:53:36I mean, look around, Mom.

00:53:38Everyone's here

00:53:38because they believe in Dad.

00:53:40His reputation,

00:53:42his prestige.

00:53:43They all just want

00:53:44to revel in his success.

00:53:47You know the company

00:53:48can't survive without Ken.

00:53:51So you're all here

00:53:53to grab a piece

00:53:53of Jonathan Asher's

00:53:55glorious reputation.

00:53:57Well, there's just one

00:53:58little problem.

00:53:58It's all fake.

00:54:05What does she mean by that?

00:54:06Oh, she's a lonely,

00:54:08vengeful ex-wife

00:54:10trying to bleed

00:54:10her ex-husband dry.

00:54:13How pathetic.

00:54:15I'm guessing that she neglected

00:54:16her husband during her marriage.

00:54:18And now that she's passed aside,

00:54:20she's finally regretting it.

00:54:21What an ignorant woman.

00:54:24Jonathan, did you forget

00:54:26how your books

00:54:27were actually written?

00:54:28the acknowledgements

00:54:29you wrote at the front?

00:54:30The acknowledgements

00:54:31were written for me.

00:54:33I am Jonathan's

00:54:34real muse.

00:54:35After he ditched his

00:54:36basic,

00:54:37boring housewife like you,

00:54:38now Jonathan can be inspired

00:54:40to write even

00:54:41better novels.

00:54:43Oh, it's real muse.

00:54:48That's beautiful.

00:54:49Did you inspire him

00:54:50with all of your

00:54:50lacy underwear?

00:54:54You think

00:54:55you can humiliate me?

00:54:57Look at me.

00:54:57I'm gorgeous,

00:54:59seductive,

00:55:00like

00:55:01a luxury purse.

00:55:03You're just a

00:55:03filthy kitchenette.

00:55:04Jonathan,

00:55:10Jonathan,

00:55:11it seems that you

00:55:12haven't taught

00:55:12your new fiancée

00:55:13the truth yet.

00:55:14But don't worry,

00:55:15I can do that right now.

00:55:16The truth

00:55:17is that the copyrights

00:55:19to Jonathan Asher's novels

00:55:20do not belong to him.

00:55:23That's right.

00:55:30The copyrights

00:55:31were transferred to me.

00:55:33We wanted to make sure

00:55:34you didn't get

00:55:34one cent for royalties.

00:55:36You transferred

00:55:37the copyrights

00:55:38to your mistress?

00:55:39I've known you

00:55:39for 25 years

00:55:40and all those 25 years

00:55:41you were a stingy miser.

00:55:42Lily's my true love.

00:55:44And she's now

00:55:45my fiancée,

00:55:45so everything that

00:55:46belongs to me

00:55:47belongs to her.

00:55:48Mr. Asher,

00:55:49you're a real romantic.

00:55:51And it was all

00:55:52my idea, Mom.

00:55:53Now that we kicked

00:55:54you out of the house,

00:55:55don't even think

00:55:56about coming

00:55:57for our wealth.

00:56:01You hit me.

00:56:03I can't believe

00:56:03you just hit me.

00:56:04I should have

00:56:05taught you a lesson

00:56:06a long time ago.

00:56:07Then maybe you

00:56:07would have grown

00:56:08into a person

00:56:08who knows right

00:56:09from wrong.

00:56:12Jonathan,

00:56:13you're the boldest

00:56:14liar of them all.

00:56:15You know damn well

00:56:16that those copyrights

00:56:17belong to me.

00:56:19You have no right

00:56:20to transfer them

00:56:20to your horror.

00:56:22Jonathan,

00:56:25what is he talking

00:56:26about?

00:56:27Oh, God,

00:56:27don't take you

00:56:28right.

00:56:28All of your own

00:56:29novels.

00:56:30Don't believe

00:56:30some ravings

00:56:31of a madwoman,

00:56:32darling.

00:56:34This is your

00:56:35last worry.

00:56:36If you don't get

00:56:37the hell out of here,

00:56:39you're going to regret.

00:56:41I'm not going

00:56:42anywhere.

00:56:43Today,

00:56:44I'm exposing

00:56:45the truth.

00:56:47Jonathan,

00:56:47what in the world

00:56:50is he talking about?

00:56:52Here it goes.

00:56:53Good evening,

00:57:15everyone.

00:57:15As tonight has been

00:57:17so inconveniently

00:57:19hijacked

00:57:20by this woman.

00:57:22I suppose it's

00:57:23appropriate to

00:57:24introduce you.

00:57:25Everyone,

00:57:25this is my

00:57:26ex-wife,

00:57:27Pam.

00:57:27For 25 years,

00:57:29I have worked

00:57:30like a dog

00:57:31to provide you

00:57:33with a life

00:57:33of luxury.

00:57:35Meanwhile,

00:57:35chief and former

00:57:39CEO of Boy

00:57:41Publishing House,

00:57:42Mr. Henry Harper,

00:57:45have been having

00:57:46a sordid affair.

00:57:48Since then,

00:57:50the two have

00:57:51conspired to

00:57:53oust myself,

00:57:55my lovely daughter,

00:57:56Olivia,

00:57:56out of the company

00:57:57and blacklist us

00:57:59from the industry.

00:58:00She's

00:58:04tiny Harper's

00:58:04mistress,

00:58:05betraying her

00:58:06husband and

00:58:07her daughter.

00:58:08How shameless.

00:58:09I never wanted

00:58:10to expose you

00:58:10like this,

00:58:11Sam,

00:58:11due to all

00:58:11our years

00:58:12together.

00:58:13But today,

00:58:13you turned too far.

00:58:14Coming in here,

00:58:16tarnishing my

00:58:17reputation.

00:58:18So don't blame

00:58:19me for exposing

00:58:20your secret

00:58:21affair to the

00:58:22press.

00:58:23You brought

00:58:23this out yourself.

00:58:25Jonathan,

00:58:26how dare you

00:58:27try and twist

00:58:27the facts like

00:58:28this?

00:58:28Have you no

00:58:29shame?

00:58:30You shouldn't

00:58:31come here

00:58:31today.

00:58:32Now the whole

00:58:32world knows

00:58:33you're a cheating

00:58:34slut.

00:58:35Who's going to

00:58:36believe your

00:58:37empty accusations

00:58:38now?

00:58:39So if I got

00:58:40this right,

00:58:41the CEO and

00:58:42chairwoman of

00:58:43Relief Publishing

00:58:43House had an

00:58:44affair, and then

00:58:45I'll see you from

00:58:46the company as

00:58:46revenge for uncovering

00:58:47it?

00:58:49This is a

00:58:50huge slump.

00:58:52Once the news

00:58:53breaks,

00:58:53Roy Publishing

00:58:54House's stocks

00:58:55are going to

00:58:56plummet.

00:58:57What are you

00:58:58going to tell

00:58:58the board members

00:58:59now?

00:59:00I see you've

00:59:04got it all

00:59:04planned out.

00:59:05You're willing to

00:59:06tell outright lies

00:59:07about me, to

00:59:08destroy me, and

00:59:09all just for

00:59:09money?

00:59:09You need to

00:59:10understand that

00:59:11ruining you is

00:59:12easier than

00:59:13lifting my pen.

00:59:14This is what

00:59:15you need to

00:59:17learn your

00:59:17place.

00:59:18What happened

00:59:18to you?

00:59:19You're a monster.

00:59:21Just admit that

00:59:22you lost, Anne.

00:59:23I could destroy

00:59:25you right now.

00:59:26I won't.

00:59:26Given our

00:59:27years together,

00:59:27if you can shut

00:59:28your mouth and

00:59:29be the subservient

00:59:30housewife that

00:59:30you once were,

00:59:31I may take it

00:59:32easy.

00:59:38You think you're

00:59:39so clever?

00:59:40You disgust me.

00:59:43Acclaimed guest,

00:59:44I came here today

00:59:45to expose a dirty

00:59:46lie.

00:59:46All of Jonathan

00:59:48Asher's novels

00:59:48were actually

00:59:49written by me.

00:59:53I, his wife of

00:59:5425 years, am the

00:59:55true author of

00:59:56all of his books.

00:59:59This woman is

01:00:00crazy.

01:00:01Ever since I

01:00:02divorced her,

01:00:03she's been having

01:00:03a mental breakdown.

01:00:05She is hallucinating

01:00:06that she wrote

01:00:07all my novels.

01:00:09The truth is,

01:00:10she can't accept

01:00:11the fact that her

01:00:12life, it's

01:00:13amounted to

01:00:14nothing.

01:00:15I can testify

01:00:15to that.

01:00:16My dad wrote

01:00:17all those books,

01:00:17that's the absolute

01:00:18truth.

01:00:18Exactly, exactly.

01:00:20Mr. Asher is

01:00:20the author.

01:00:21Of course Jonathan

01:00:22wrote all of his

01:00:23own novels.

01:00:24I'm the inspiration

01:00:25for his masterpieces.

01:00:27That's right,

01:00:27my darling.

01:00:28I wrote every

01:00:29single line.

01:00:33Every single

01:00:34line was written

01:00:35for you?

01:00:36You're delusional.

01:00:38You lunatic.

01:00:39You don't have

01:00:39a shred of evidence.

01:00:41Who's going to

01:00:41believe your

01:00:42empty accusation?

01:00:43Oh, you'd like

01:00:44to see the evidence.

01:00:44If you can't

01:00:46present evidence,

01:00:48then this

01:00:48counts as defamation.

01:00:49I'll put you

01:00:50in prison.

01:00:52Miss Roy,

01:00:53you should leave.

01:00:54Otherwise,

01:00:55we're going to

01:00:55have to teach you

01:00:56a lesson.

01:00:57I've already

01:00:57said I'm not

01:00:58leaving until I

01:00:58take back everything

01:00:59the Asher's took

01:01:00from me.

01:01:01Everything

01:01:02we took

01:01:03from you.

01:01:05clean this up,

01:01:25housewife.

01:01:29Maybe it'll help

01:01:30you remember your

01:01:31place.

01:01:31You know,

01:01:35why don't you

01:01:36come on over

01:01:37here?

01:01:37Go on.

01:01:38Shine my shoes

01:01:39like you used

01:01:40to, and then

01:01:40maybe I can get

01:01:41you some work

01:01:41as our new

01:01:43maid.

01:01:45Look at

01:01:46Johnny trying

01:01:46to help you

01:01:46find a job.

01:01:48You can be a maid

01:01:48for everyone here.

01:01:55Go on.

01:01:56Show them all

01:01:57how good you

01:01:57are at cleaning.

01:01:59Look there,

01:01:59she really is

01:02:00having a mental

01:02:00breakdown.

01:02:01If you ask me,

01:02:02she should have

01:02:02cut her losses

01:02:03and left way

01:02:04earlier.

01:02:05Cleaning up

01:02:05messes like this

01:02:06is all you're

01:02:07good for.

01:02:08Dressing up,

01:02:09trying to steal

01:02:09everybody's attention,

01:02:10it doesn't suit

01:02:11you.

01:02:15Actually,

01:02:16being the center

01:02:16of attention

01:02:17suits me just

01:02:18fine.

01:02:19But you're

01:02:19right,

01:02:19I am good

01:02:20at cleaning.

01:02:21And since

01:02:21is absolutely

01:02:22filthy,

01:02:23I'm not

01:02:23opposed to

01:02:24doing a big

01:02:24cleanup.

01:02:28Wow.

01:02:30that filthy

01:02:31housekeeper look.

01:02:52thing that I

01:02:52have sacrificed

01:02:53over the past

01:02:53two and a half

01:02:54decades and

01:02:55nothing less.

01:02:56How dare she

01:03:10gonna hit the

01:03:10and you deserve it.

01:03:12Not only are you

01:03:12an adulterer,

01:03:13but you stole

01:03:14the stocks that

01:03:15rightfully belong

01:03:15to myself and

01:03:16Olivia.

01:03:17Then you come

01:03:18here to ruin

01:03:19the Nobel Prize

01:03:20ceremony.

01:03:21I'll testify on

01:03:22dad's behalf,

01:03:22you're a cheater

01:03:23and a thief.

01:03:24You really screwed up

01:03:25now, Ms. Roy.

01:03:26The negative press

01:03:27is gonna absolutely

01:03:28ruin the world

01:03:29publishing house.

01:03:32Now, Jonathan,

01:03:34you have deluded

01:03:35even yourself.

01:03:37You forget that

01:03:38everything you

01:03:38possess is built

01:03:39on lies.

01:03:40Stop, I.

01:03:41You don't have

01:03:42any evidence.

01:03:43You can't take me

01:03:44down with your

01:03:45empty identification.

01:03:46That's where you're

01:03:47wrong, dear husband.

01:03:48I do have evidence

01:03:49and I'm going to

01:03:50show it to everyone

01:03:50right now.

01:03:51inside this box

01:03:57are the original

01:03:58manuscripts for all

01:03:59of my novels.

01:04:01I thought the

01:04:02original manuscripts?

01:04:04If she's telling

01:04:04the truth,

01:04:05this is huge news.

01:04:07No, no, she,

01:04:08you're, you're lying.

01:04:09You're lying.

01:04:10I burned your

01:04:11manuscripts.

01:04:12I burned every

01:04:12single page in that

01:04:13entire house.

01:04:14I know.

01:04:14You have nothing.

01:04:17Johnny, what did

01:04:18you just say?

01:04:19I said, I said

01:04:20there, there are

01:04:21no, there's no

01:04:22such thing as

01:04:23original manuscripts.

01:04:24You're forging

01:04:24evidence out

01:04:25and I'm going to

01:04:25sue you.

01:04:26That's right.

01:04:26They must be

01:04:27forged.

01:04:27Stop lying,

01:04:28Miss Roy.

01:04:29Are you sure

01:04:30you burned

01:04:30everything?

01:04:31What if a few

01:04:32pages were

01:04:32left for me?

01:04:33Right, Ken?

01:04:34No.

01:04:35No way, no.

01:04:36You were all

01:04:37there.

01:04:37We burned

01:04:37everything.

01:04:38You saw.

01:04:41Shut up,

01:04:42you fucking

01:04:42idiot.

01:04:44Jonathan,

01:04:45what's really

01:04:45going on here?

01:04:47Did she really

01:04:48write holy novels?

01:04:49Listen to that

01:04:49delusional nonsense.

01:04:51She's taking

01:04:51shots in the

01:04:52dark.

01:04:53Yeah, what's

01:04:54in that box?

01:04:54Cookie recipes?

01:04:55I know you're

01:04:56trying to use it

01:04:56as evidence,

01:04:57but we won't

01:04:57fool that easily.

01:04:58That box is

01:04:59probably empty

01:05:00for all we know.

01:05:01Since you all

01:05:02still doubt me,

01:05:03why don't I

01:05:03open it and

01:05:04show everyone?

01:05:11Hey, what are

01:05:12those?

01:05:13Those scraps

01:05:13from your silly

01:05:14little crafting

01:05:15projects?

01:05:15I told you

01:05:18I didn't

01:05:19save anything.

01:05:20We lived

01:05:21with my

01:05:21mother for

01:05:2225 years.

01:05:23She's just

01:05:24a desperate,

01:05:24delusional

01:05:25housewife trying

01:05:26to pass off

01:05:26my father's

01:05:27talent as

01:05:27her own.

01:05:28That's right.

01:05:29How could a

01:05:29housewife write

01:05:30masterpieces

01:05:31like Mr.

01:05:31Asher?

01:05:32And she

01:05:32almost fooled

01:05:33us all.

01:05:33Looks like

01:05:33she's all

01:05:34bark and

01:05:34no bite.

01:05:37You've

01:05:37crashed my

01:05:38award ceremony.

01:05:38You slandered

01:05:39my reputation

01:05:40and you

01:05:40don't have

01:05:41a shred

01:05:41of evidence.

01:05:42All you've

01:05:42got are

01:05:42your empty

01:05:43accusations.

01:05:44So don't

01:05:45blame me

01:05:45for sending

01:05:46you straight

01:05:46to jail.

01:05:51Security!

01:05:52Get this

01:05:53woman!

01:05:55Wait!

01:05:58Wait, wait, wait!

01:05:59This is part

01:06:00of the manuscript

01:06:01of the burning

01:06:02bush?

01:06:02It looks

01:06:08like written

01:06:08on all

01:06:08these scraps

01:06:09of papers

01:06:09are parts

01:06:10of the

01:06:10original

01:06:11manuscripts

01:06:11from all

01:06:12of Mr.

01:06:12Asher's

01:06:13award-winning

01:06:14novels!

01:06:15Oh my god,

01:06:16is she

01:06:16actually the

01:06:17real author

01:06:17of those

01:06:18books?

01:06:18What a

01:06:19plot twist.

01:06:20Johnny,

01:06:21please explain

01:06:22those manuscripts

01:06:23scrapped.

01:06:27Those are my

01:06:28manuscripts,

01:06:28man.

01:06:29I, you know,

01:06:30I have this

01:06:30funny habit

01:06:31where I take

01:06:31notes when

01:06:32I never

01:06:32inspiration

01:06:32stress.

01:06:35That's right!

01:06:36Those are

01:06:36my dad's

01:06:37manuscripts.

01:06:37His writing

01:06:38style is

01:06:39unconventional.

01:06:43Jonathan,

01:06:44since you

01:06:45admit that

01:06:45these are

01:06:46the original

01:06:46manuscripts,

01:06:47we can

01:06:47determine the

01:06:48true author

01:06:49through a

01:06:49handwriting

01:06:50analysis.

01:06:50I have

01:06:51nothing to

01:06:51hide,

01:06:52and I

01:06:52would relish

01:06:53the opportunity

01:06:54to prove

01:06:55you wrong.

01:06:56But everybody

01:06:56knows that

01:06:57takes a

01:06:58forensic expert.

01:06:59No fraud

01:07:00would agree

01:07:00to that.

01:07:01Mom,

01:07:15honored guests.

01:07:16Perhaps

01:07:18handwriting

01:07:18comparison.

01:07:18The results

01:07:25of the

01:07:25restoration

01:07:26just came

01:07:26in.

01:07:27It looks

01:07:27like we

01:07:27were able

01:07:27to find

01:07:28what you

01:07:28were looking

01:07:28for.

01:07:38Yeah.

01:07:39That's great.

01:07:41I gotta run.

01:07:41Thank you so much.

01:07:42The results

01:08:02of the

01:08:06your little

01:08:07lover

01:08:07rushing over

01:08:08to help

01:08:08you.

01:08:08If so,

01:08:09it'll be

01:08:09easier to

01:08:09pick

01:08:09her than

01:08:09Shay.

01:08:10Are you

01:08:10so sure

01:08:10that I'm

01:08:11the one

01:08:11getting

01:08:11arrested?

01:08:12Oh,

01:08:12stop

01:08:12bluffing.

01:08:14Stop

01:08:14bluffing,

01:08:15mom.

01:08:15Soon,

01:08:16you'll have

01:08:16nothing to

01:08:17laugh about.

01:08:18Those little

01:08:18scraps of

01:08:19paper don't

01:08:20prove anything.

01:08:21You brought

01:08:22this upon

01:08:22yourself,

01:08:23Anne.

01:08:23You used

01:08:23to have

01:08:23a luxurious

01:08:24life being

01:08:25taken care of,

01:08:26but your

01:08:26stubborn,

01:08:27jealous little

01:08:28heart has

01:08:28cost you

01:08:29everything.

01:08:30You used

01:08:31to have

01:08:31a sweet

01:08:31husband,

01:08:32a loving

01:08:32family,

01:08:33big house,

01:08:34nice car.

01:08:36I could

01:08:36go on.

01:08:37You were

01:08:37even the

01:08:38heiress to

01:08:39an elite

01:08:39publishing

01:08:40company.

01:08:41Roy

01:08:41Publishing

01:08:41was at

01:08:42its peak

01:08:42when Mr.

01:08:43Asher was

01:08:44set to

01:08:44become

01:08:44CEO.

01:08:46But now,

01:08:47you're

01:08:48soft?

01:08:51Both

01:08:51professionally

01:08:52and

01:08:53both.

01:08:56And the

01:08:57results of

01:08:58the handwriting

01:08:58analysis

01:08:59are out.

01:09:02According

01:09:03to this

01:09:04analysis,

01:09:05the handwriting

01:09:05on the

01:09:06manuscripts

01:09:06of the

01:09:06Burning

01:09:07Bush and

01:09:07the other

01:09:0816

01:09:08novels all

01:09:10belong to

01:09:10Anne

01:09:13Roy.

01:09:18You only

01:09:18burned the

01:09:19manuscripts

01:09:19that I

01:09:19had recompiled.

01:09:21The originals

01:09:21were written

01:09:22over the

01:09:22course of

01:09:2325 years,

01:09:23whenever and

01:09:24wherever I

01:09:25could find

01:09:25a moment,

01:09:26all while I

01:09:26served this

01:09:27family as a

01:09:28dedicated wife

01:09:28and mother.

01:09:31Oh my God,

01:09:32this is so

01:09:33exciting.

01:09:34I think I'm

01:09:34having a

01:09:34heart attack.

01:09:35This proves

01:09:36nothing.

01:09:38Anyone

01:09:38could have

01:09:38copied

01:09:38dad's

01:09:39books down

01:09:39on sticky

01:09:40notes.

01:09:42Those

01:09:43manuscripts

01:09:43were written

01:09:44on receipts,

01:09:45greeting cards,

01:09:46newspaper margins,

01:09:47all of them

01:09:48clearly dated

01:09:49spanning the

01:09:50course of

01:09:50two and a

01:09:51half decades.

01:09:54Johnny,

01:09:55you can't

01:09:55let her do

01:09:56this,

01:09:56you have to

01:09:56explain.

01:09:57Don't

01:10:01over-swear

01:10:01yourself.

01:10:02All those

01:10:02menial house

01:10:03tasks you

01:10:04did back

01:10:04home,

01:10:06they're just

01:10:06like you.

01:10:08Worthless.

01:10:16I'll be there

01:10:17as soon as I

01:10:17can be.

01:10:27Oh,

01:10:30Anne,

01:10:31look at

01:10:31you.

01:10:32You're so

01:10:32emotionally

01:10:33unstable that

01:10:35you're going to

01:10:35cry over a

01:10:36bunch of

01:10:36scraps of

01:10:37paper.

01:10:37You are a

01:10:38stay-at-home

01:10:39housewife.

01:10:40You've had

01:10:41nothing but

01:10:41time to sit

01:10:42and doodle

01:10:43and copy

01:10:43down my

01:10:44manuscripts.

01:10:44What,

01:10:44you think

01:10:44this proves

01:10:45anything?

01:10:45You could

01:10:45have been

01:10:46just copying

01:10:46my novels

01:10:46before they're

01:10:47even published.

01:10:48He has a

01:10:49point,

01:10:49Anne,

01:10:50has a

01:10:50secretly

01:10:51copy

01:10:51down

01:10:51Jonathan's

01:10:52manuscript.

01:10:54Mom is

01:10:55clearly crazy

01:10:56obsessed with

01:10:56dad.

01:10:57Emphasis

01:10:57on the

01:10:58crazy.

01:10:58She probably

01:10:59copied

01:10:59down his

01:10:59manuscript

01:11:00whenever she

01:11:00had time.

01:11:01I've seen

01:11:01her do it

01:11:02with my

01:11:02own two

01:11:02eyes.

01:11:04Oh,

01:11:04that's what

01:11:05it was.

01:11:05Anything

01:11:06makes sense

01:11:06now.

01:11:07What a

01:11:07psychotic

01:11:08woman.

01:11:08She's trying

01:11:09to ruin

01:11:09him because

01:11:10she can't

01:11:10have him.

01:11:14Did you

01:11:15hear that?

01:11:16You thought

01:11:17yourself

01:11:17that.

01:11:20Now,

01:11:20get down

01:11:21on your

01:11:22knees.

01:11:23Polish my

01:11:23shoes

01:11:23to this

01:11:24sparkle.

01:11:25You made

01:11:26your mess.

01:11:27house

01:11:27wine.

01:11:30You

01:11:30have no

01:11:33idea how

01:11:34badly

01:11:34you regret

01:11:35this.

01:11:36Anne,

01:11:36hold on.

01:11:37I'm almost

01:11:37there.

01:11:39Everything

01:11:40I've ever

01:11:41wanted,

01:11:42I've achieved.

01:11:43Money,

01:11:44prestige,

01:11:45a fantastic

01:11:46lover.

01:11:47I've got it

01:11:47all.

01:11:48You're the one

01:11:49who should be

01:11:50regretting the

01:11:51choices.

01:11:52You have

01:11:53nothing.

01:11:54mom.

01:11:56Mom,

01:11:56you can't blame

01:11:57anyone but

01:11:58yourself.

01:11:59You chose

01:12:00to be a

01:12:01housewife.

01:12:02And you

01:12:02should have

01:12:02chosen to

01:12:03spend more

01:12:03time trying

01:12:03to keep

01:12:04your husband's

01:12:04attention.

01:12:06You're right.

01:12:08I did

01:12:08choose this.

01:12:10And I don't

01:12:10regret being a

01:12:11stay-at-home mom.

01:12:12Nothing gave me

01:12:13more pleasure than

01:12:14making sure that

01:12:14my family was

01:12:15loved and

01:12:16cared for.

01:12:17Now that I'm

01:12:19chairwoman again,

01:12:20I'll nurture

01:12:21Boy Publishing

01:12:22in much the

01:12:23same way.

01:12:24I am going to

01:12:24reorganize this

01:12:25company,

01:12:26establish better

01:12:26standards,

01:12:27and make sure to

01:12:27blacklist toxic

01:12:28people like the

01:12:30Ashers.

01:12:32Oh, come on.

01:12:33Stop dreaming, Anne.

01:12:34The writing's on

01:12:34the wall.

01:12:35Boy Publishing

01:12:36House is done

01:12:37for.

01:12:38Let me get this

01:12:38right.

01:12:39You think the

01:12:39industry is

01:12:40just a homeless,

01:12:42topless,

01:12:42divorced failure

01:12:43of a housewife

01:12:44to establish

01:12:45better standards?

01:12:46You couldn't

01:12:47even keep your

01:12:48own house in

01:12:49order.

01:12:50They'll trust

01:12:50Anne Roy.

01:12:52They'll trust

01:12:53the heiress of

01:12:53the Roy Empire

01:12:54and the true

01:12:55author of this

01:12:56company's best

01:12:56selling books.

01:12:57And your

01:12:57delusions long

01:12:59enough.

01:13:00Go spout

01:13:01your crazy

01:13:01nonsense elsewhere.

01:13:03Charity,

01:13:03what are you

01:13:03waiting for?

01:13:05Don't touch her.

01:13:10Sorry I'm late.

01:13:12No, you're

01:13:14right on time.

01:13:16Oh, good.

01:13:20Now, little

01:13:21lover boy has

01:13:21finally arrived.

01:13:23We can send

01:13:23the two lovebirds

01:13:24to the police

01:13:25station together.

01:13:27Well, you are

01:13:27right to assume

01:13:28that someone's

01:13:29going to jail

01:13:30tonight.

01:13:30Oh, Mr.

01:13:31Harper, I know

01:13:33you 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

01:13:39your filthy affair

01:13:40gets out, the

01:13:41board members will

01:13:41take the spouse

01:13:42out of the

01:13:42company.

01:13:43Then Mr.

01:13:44Asher will be

01:13:44asked to take

01:13:45over as

01:13:46CEO.

01:13:49That's a pretty

01:13:50good plan you

01:13:50got there.

01:13:51Except for one

01:13:51little hiccup.

01:13:52Anne predicted

01:13:53everything you

01:13:53were going to

01:13:54do one step

01:13:54ahead the

01:13:54whole time.

01:13:55She even

01:13:56planned a little

01:13:57surprise for

01:13:57this exact

01:13:58occasion.

01:13:58This here is a

01:14:02report from a

01:14:03forensic trace

01:14:03analyst.

01:14:04We recovered

01:14:05some shards of

01:14:06a burnt manuscript

01:14:06from the Asher

01:14:07family fireplace.

01:14:09It confirms the

01:14:10aldermen's in the

01:14:10burnt writing.

01:14:11And the results

01:14:11confirmed the

01:14:12handwriting and

01:14:13all the papers in

01:14:13there were that

01:14:14of Miss Anne

01:14:16Roy.

01:14:23That's impossible.

01:14:24Those actually

01:14:25scrapped, you

01:14:25can't test those.

01:14:27They're worthless.

01:14:27That's not all.

01:14:29Hold on.

01:14:30We also recovered

01:14:31deleted footage from

01:14:32your security

01:14:33cameras in your

01:14:33house, which showed

01:14:35you throwing all

01:14:36the manuscripts in

01:14:37the fire, clearly.

01:14:38Johnny, you never

01:14:40did that, right?

01:14:41The results must be

01:14:42forged.

01:14:43That's impossible.

01:14:44No, no, no, no,

01:14:46no, no, no, no,

01:14:46no, no, no, no, no.

01:14:46These, these have

01:14:47been forged.

01:14:48This is ridiculous.

01:14:50How low can you

01:14:51go, Mom?

01:14:51Outright forgery?

01:14:52They're trying to

01:14:53trick us.

01:14:54You two are frauds.

01:14:55Only an idiot would

01:14:56be convinced by

01:14:57some trumped-up

01:14:58report.

01:14:59Rip it up all you

01:14:59want.

01:14:59That's just one of

01:15:00like many copies.

01:15:03It's time, Henry.

01:15:04Time to crush

01:15:05their hopes.

01:15:07It would be my

01:15:07pleasure.

01:15:10Here you are.

01:15:11You should release

01:15:12the news of Jonathan's

01:15:12scandal, please.

01:15:13All right.

01:15:13stop bluffing, you fool.

01:15:22How far you think

01:15:23your fake news is

01:15:24going to get?

01:15:24You know how high up

01:15:25my friends are in the

01:15:26media?

01:15:28It won't get past

01:15:29their desk.

01:15:30All of our media

01:15:42contacts have cut ties

01:15:44with us.

01:15:45They're releasing

01:15:45headlines that say

01:15:46you used a ghostwriter

01:15:47on the front page!

01:15:48Ladies and gentlemen,

01:15:51I just received

01:15:52official word

01:15:52after reviewing

01:15:53the evidence

01:15:54provided by

01:15:54Ms. Roy.

01:15:56The Nobel Prize

01:15:57jury has reason

01:15:58to believe that

01:15:58all of Mr. Asher's

01:16:00novels were

01:16:00ghostwritten by

01:16:01her.

01:16:04They have

01:16:05subsequently decided

01:16:06to revoke

01:16:06Mr. Asher's

01:16:08award.

01:16:09Additionally,

01:16:11he is banned

01:16:12from Nobel

01:16:13consideration

01:16:13for life.

01:16:17Oh my God!

01:16:19No, you can't

01:16:19do this!

01:16:22Stevie Hatt.

01:16:24His career

01:16:25is down the drain

01:16:26now, and he's

01:16:26a fan of the

01:16:27most prestigious

01:16:27publishing house.

01:16:29Jonathan Asher

01:16:29and his family

01:16:30are absolutely

01:16:31done for.

01:18:14family.

01:18:14I wrote my

01:18:17manuscripts while

01:18:20while changing

01:18:42Please,

01:18:43I'm thanking you.

01:18:44You can

01:18:47repent in jail.

01:18:57Now, thanks to

01:18:58you, I'm thinking

01:18:59about maybe a

01:18:59promotion in your

01:19:00future.

01:19:03I'm a Nobel Prize

01:19:04winning author.

01:19:04I'll ghostwrite you

01:19:05a novel.

01:19:06I'll do anything

01:19:06you want for food

01:19:07or a place to sleep.

01:19:10Anything you want

01:19:11to sleep, please.

01:19:12Oh, don't hurt me.

01:19:14I'll leave.

01:19:15I'll leave.

01:19:15I don't know.

01:19:45Henry.

01:19:53Sorry, I 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.

01:20:15I love that sofa.

01:20:21I 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.

01:20:36Impressive.

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.

01:20:47How can I cook in someone else's kitchen?

01:20:49I'm the buyer.

01:20:52I bought the house for you.

01:20:53After 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.

01:21:04It's too much.

01:21:05Hold on, this is more.

01:21:07Anne, in this life I will never let you down.

01:21:11I'll be loyal to you and our family.

01:21:15And I will be an amazing husband to you.

01:21:18Henry.

01:21:21Will you marry me?

01:21:22I don't know what to say.

01:21:28Say yes.

01:21:29Yes.

01:21:31Yes.

01:21:32Yes.

01:21:53Yes.

01:21:55Yes.
