Short filmTranscript
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!
00:10:22You!
00:10:23No!
00:10:24No!
00:10:25No, no, no!

00:19:04any hiring that's done
00:19:06such as ceo
00:19:07will require my approval
00:19:08are you in such a hurry to kick me out
00:19:10what a shame
00:19:13i was thinking about giving you all a second chance
00:19:16oh stop bluffing
00:19:17your truth is you could come in here
00:19:18you could crawl
00:19:19egg me
00:19:20i never let you back in this house
00:19:22mom
00:19:23it's one thing to throw a tantrum at home
00:19:25but it's a different thing entirely
00:19:27to cause the scene at the company
00:19:28dad is a public figure
00:19:30you almost destroyed his career
00:19:31and you think he's gonna be willing to reconcile
00:19:33exactly
00:19:34ann
00:19:35you shouldn't have tried to expose mr asher
00:19:37for using a ghost writer
00:19:38he might have let you say and write more books for him
00:19:41jonathan
00:19:43you know deep down inside that without me he will never write another word
00:19:47do 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 you're 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
00:20:04and trade me in for some shiny new toy
00:20:07what or who i play with
00:20:09is none of your business
00:20:10i have kept a roof over your head for years
00:20:13i can forgive your ungratefulness
00:20:15but i cannot
00:20:17forgive you stabbing me in the back
00:20:19during 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
00:20:29you would still be an unpublished wannabe
00:20:31and not the next ceo of roy publishing
00:20:33your storytelling skills have really gone down the drain
00:20:37mom you should really stop with the soap opera shit
00:20:39like what's next
00:20:40you're gonna tell us you're a wealthy heiress
00:20:42you need to stop saying this idiotic stuff

00:20:45that's right

00:28:41you guys are a match made in heaven
00:28:43johnny
00:28:47johnny
00:28:47the 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 mr harper
00:29:00yeah i told you convenient meeting with hr
00:29:01where the hell do you want off to you idiot
00:29:03hi mr harper i'm at mr asher's house
00:29:12i told you to set that meeting with hr
00:29:14did you skip out work hours
00:29:15didn't you think 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 do you have doing my job for me
00:29:24i'm sorry mr harper i just thought i'd pick the initiative
00:29:28i'll be there soon
00:29:29stay right where you are
00:29:31uh yes sir
00:29:32what's wrong
00:29:40yeah the ceo didn't sound too happy
00:29:43nothing's wrong
00:29:45i was just in such a rush
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
00:29:59to announce me as his successor
00:30:00but it's like i said
00:30:02you didn't have that authority
00:30:03if the ceo is coming here to congratulate dad personally
00:30:07i think he respects him
00:30:09of course he does
00:30:10your father is a best-selling author
00:30:13and renowned in the industry
00:30:14it's only fitting that he succeeds as an ex-ceo
00:30:17oh my my my
00:30:20i think you're all mistaken
00:30:22you see the ceo is only coming here
00:30:24because the chairwoman asked him to
00:30:27jonathan's appointment as ceo
00:30:28well ultimately that decision lies with her
00:30:31what chairwoman
00:30:33lily does
00:30:34roy publishing house even have a chairwoman
00:30:37not that i know of
00:30:38well

00:30:41like she even knows
00:30:43oh but i do
00:30:44the chairwoman of roy publishing
00:30:47is me
00:30:49drop the act mom
00:31:03like do you even know what a chairwoman does
00:31:05she probably asked chat gpt
00:31:07and please you gotta stop flaunting your ignorance
00:31:12when we were younger we called it naivete
00:31:14but now that you're old and washed up and haggard
00:31:16it's just planfulness
00:31:17she probably read so many trashy novels
00:31:21she can't even keep up with reality anymore
00:31:23she's stuck
00:31:24in her own fantasy world
00:31:25that's what it is
00:31:27she's delusional
00:31:28okay yeah
00:31:29i can play along with that
00:31:31greetings chairwoman ann
00:31:35they're laughing at me now

00:43:44to announce your return
00:43:45i agree
00:43:46and then you need to go public
00:43:47and let him know that you were his ghostwriter

00:43:53let me think about it
00:43:54well i know about foundation
00:43:55how to hold this

00:43:57we cannot let him keep making money off false pretenses

00:44:07what kind of a psychopath
00:44:12hides their identity for decades
00:44:14you know what
00:44:15i bet she did this
00:44:16just so she doesn't have to share her assets with us
00:44:18she was just a boring housewife mopping floors yesterday
00:44:20but now she's the chairwoman of top publishing company
00:44:23this must be a joke
00:44:29oh god
00:44:30hold your horses
00:44:31we can still turn this around
00:44:32anne is just a housewife
00:44:35she's got no experience
00:44:36there's no way
00:44:37she can handle the position of chairwoman
00:44:38truly the company must be falling apart right now
00:44:41what are you planning?
00:44:45well

00:45:24your decision to reverse jonathan's appointment to ceo has already affected this company's stocks

00:45:37we members of the board
00:45:40wish for you to resign as shareholders
00:45:44you're trying to fire anne?
00:45:45is this because of jonathan's meddling?

00:45:51accounts for about 40% of this company's profits
00:45:54additionally since he is poised to win the nobel prize
00:45:57his market value is about to skyrocket soon
00:46:01we cannot lose a cash cow like jonathan asher

00:46:08i'll take back the copyrights
00:46:13how is that possible?

00:50:22please join me in welcoming this year's recipient of the nobel prize of literature
00:50:27the author of the critically acclaimed novel of the burning bush
00:50:31mr jonathan asher
00:50:33please come to the podium
00:50:35excuse me
00:50:53Jonathan Asher is a fraud.
00:51:05Who is this woman?
00:51:06What kind of person causes a scene as such a prestigious woman?
00:51:09Oh my god.
00:51:10I know her.
00:51:11That's Jonathan's ex-wife.
00:51:15Mom?
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 anything.
00:51:22Naturally, I'm here at this award ceremony in my role as chairwoman of Roy Publishing.
00:51:27Ah, 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.
00:51:36In all honesty, a spatula and an apron better suits you.
00:51:42And if she thinks she can compete with a stunner like you,
00:51:46she's sorely mistaken.
00:51:49Oh, babe, you are too sweet.
00:51:54Oh, in case you haven't heard, your husband...
00:51:59Oh no, your ex-husband has already proposed to me.
00:52:03Just 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.
00:52:17On her first day, officially 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...
00:52:49It's all mine.
00:52:50Everything 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.
00:53:10Are you sure about that?
00:53:13Don't try to bluff, Mom.
00:53:14Everyone knows Dad is the true pillar of 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.
00:53:43They all just want to revel in his success.
00:53:45You 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.
00:54:05What does she mean by that?
00:54:06Oh, she's a lonely, vengeful ex-wife trying to bleed her ex-husband dry.
00:54:12How 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'm Jonathan's real muse.
00:54:35After he ditched his basic or in-house wife like you, now 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.
00:54:59Seductive.
00:55:00Like 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.
00:55:15I 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 in 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, don't even think about coming for our wealth.
00:55:57You hit me.
00:56:03I can't believe you just hit me.
00:56:05I 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, you're gonna regret.
00:56:41I'm not going anywhere.
00:56:43Today, I'm exposing the truth.
00:56:45Jonathan, what in the world is she talking about?
00:56:52Here it comes.
00:56:53Good evening, everyone.
00:57:16As 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, my lovely daughter Olivia,
00:57:56out 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, tarnishing 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, the 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?
00:58:48Oh, this is a huge slut.
00:58:52Once the news breaks, Roy 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, to destroy me, not 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, if you can shut your mouth and be the subservient housewife that you once were,
00:59:31I may take it easy.
00:59:38You think you're so clever.
00:59:39You disgust me.
00:59:42Acclaimed guest, I came here today to expose a dirty lie.
00:59:46All of Jonathan Asher's novels were actually written by me.
00:59:51I, his wife of 25 years, am the true author of all of his books.
00:59:59This woman is crazy.
01:00:01Ever since I divorced her, she's been having a mental breakdown.
01:00:05She is hallucinating that she wrote all my novels.
01:00:08The truth is, she can't accept the fact that her life, it's a matter to nothing.
01:00:15I 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.
01:00:20Of course Jonathan wrote all of his own novels.
01:00:24I'm the inspiration for his masterpieces.
01:00:27That's right, my darling.
01:00:28I wrote every single line.
01:00:33Every single line was written for you?
01:00:36You're delusional.
01:00:38You 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.
01:00:44If you can't present evidence, then 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 until I take back everything the Asher's took from me.
01:01:02Everything we took.
01:01:04Ha ha ha.
01:01:04From you.
01:01:14Clean this up, housewife.
01:01:29Maybe it'll help you remember your place.
01:01:34You know, Santa Claus.
01:01:36Why don't you come on over here?
01:01:37Crawl.
01:01:38Shine my shoes like you used to.
01:01:40And then maybe I can get you some work as 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 got cleaning.
01:01:59Look there, she really is having a mental breakdown.
01:02:01If you ask me, she should have cut her losses and left way earlier.
01:02:05Cleaning up messes like this is all you're good for.
01:02:08Dressing up, trying to steal everybody's attention.
01:02:10It doesn't suit you.
01:02:11Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
01:02:14Actually, being the center of attention suits me just fine.
01:02:19But you're right, I am good at cleaning.
01:02:21And since this place is absolutely filthy,
01:02:23I'm not opposed to doing a big cleanup.
01:02:27Wow.
01:02:29She's really pulling off that filthy housekeeper look.
01:02:34What the fuck?
01:02:39You fucking crazy woman!
01:02:45I am Roy, stand before you today, reclaiming everything that belongs to me.
01:02:50I am taking back every single thing that I have sacrificed over the past two and a half decades and 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.
01:03:06A older shrew!
01:03:08Your dirty secret.
01:03:09Tomorrow it's gonna hit the front headlines and you deserve it.
01:03:12Not only are you an adulterer, but you stole the stocks that rightfully belong to myself and Olivia.
01:03:17Then you come here to 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 really screwed up now, Miss Roy.
01:03:26The negative press is gonna absolutely ruin word publishing house.
01:03:32Now, Jonathan, you have deluded even yourself.
01:03:37You forget that everything you possess is built on lies.
01:03:39You don't have any evidence.
01:03:42You can't take me down with your empty accusations.
01:03:44That's where you're wrong, dear husband.
01:03:47I do have evidence and I'm going to show it to everyone right now.
01:03:51Inside this box are the original manuscripts for all of my novels.
01:04:01I thought, the original manuscripts?
01:04:04Is she's telling the truth?
01:04:05This is huge news.
01:04:06No, no, she, you're, you're lying.
01:04:09You're lying.
01:04:10I burned your manuscripts.
01:04:12I burned every single page in that entire house.
01:04:14I know.
01:04:14You have nothing.
01:04:15Johnny, what did you just say?
01:04:20I said, I said there, there are no, there's no such thing as original manuscripts.
01:04:23You're forging evidence out and 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 were left for me?
01:04:33Right, Ken?
01:04:34No.
01:04:35No way, no.
01:04:36We were there.
01:04:37You were all there.
01:04:37We burned everything.
01:04:38You saw.
01:04:41Shut up.
01:04:42You fucking idiot.
01:04:43Jonathan, what's really going on here?
01:04:47Did she really write holy novels?
01:04:49Listen to that delusional nonsense.
01:04:51She's taking shots in the dark.
01:04:53Yeah, what's in that box?
01:04:54Cookie recipes?
01:04:55I know you're trying to use it as evidence, but we won't fool that easily.
01:04:58That box is probably empty for all we know.
01:05:01Since you all still doubt me, why don't I open it and show everyone?
01:05:11Hey, what are those?
01:05:13Those scraps from your silly little crafting projects?
01:05:18I told you I didn't save anything.
01:05:20We lived with my mother for 25 years.
01:05:23She's just a desperate, delusional housewife trying to pass off my father's talent as her own.
01:05:28That's right.
01:05:29How can a housewife write masterpieces like Mr. Asher?
01:05:32And she almost fooled us all.
01:05:33Looks like she's all bark and no bite.
01:05:35You've crashed my award ceremony.
01:05:38You slandered my reputation and you don't have a shred of evidence.
01:05:42All you've got are your empty accusations.
01:05:44So don't blame me for sending you straight to jail.
01:05:51Security!
01:05:51Get this woman!
01:05:58Wait...
01:05:58Wait, wait, wait!
01:05:59This is part of the manuscript of the burning bush?
01:06:02It looks like written on all these scraps of papers are parts of the original manuscripts
01:06:11from all of Mr. Asher's award-winning novels!
01:06:15Oh my god.
01:06:16Is she actually the real author of those books?
01:06:18What a plot twist.
01:06:20Johnny, please explain.
01:06:23Those manuscripts scrap.
01:06:24Those are my manuscripts, man.
01:06:29I have this funny habit where I take notes whenever inspiration scrap.
01:06:35That's right.
01:06:36Those are my dad's manuscripts.
01:06:37His writing style is unconventional.
01:06:44Jonathan, since you admit that these are the original manuscripts,
01:06:47we can determine the true author through a handwriting analysis.
01:06:50I have nothing to hide.
01:06:51And I would relish the opportunity to prove you wrong.
01:06:56But everybody knows that takes a forensic expert.
01:06:59No fraud would agree to that.
01:07:02Mom, you're grasping at straws.
01:07:04Just let it go.
01:07:07Hurry up and throw her out!
01:07:10Actually, we have a forensic handwriting expert here.
01:07:14One of our honored guests.
01:07:16Perhaps they could do the handwriting comparison.
01:07:18The results of the restoration just came in.
01:07:27It looks like we were able to find what you were looking for.
01:07:38Yeah.
01:07:39That's great.
01:07:41I gotta run.
01:07:41Thank you so much.
01:07:42Thank you so much.
01:07:42Thank you so much.
01:07:46Thank you so much.
01:07:48The results of the restoration just came out.
01:08:04Good.
01:08:05I'll be waiting.
01:08:05Well, I hope that was your little lover rushing over to help you.
01:08:08If so, it'll be easier to put your foot in jail.
01:08:10Are you so sure that I'm the one getting arrested?
01:08:12Oh, stop bluffing.
01:08:14Stop bluffing, Mom.
01:08:15Soon, you'll have nothing to laugh about.
01:08:18Those little scraps of paper don't prove anything.
01:08:21You brought this upon yourself, Anne.
01:08:23You used to have a luxurious life being taken care of.
01:08:26But your stubborn, jealous little heart has cost you everything.
01:08:30You used to have a sweet husband, a loving family, big house, nice car.
01:08:35I could go on.
01:08:36You were even the heiress to an elite publishing company.
01:08:41Roy Publishing was at its peak when Mr. Asher was set to become CEO.
01:08:46But now, you're stopped.
01:08:51Both professionally and...
01:08:53And the results of the handwriting analysis are out.
01:09:03According to this analysis, the handwriting on the manuscripts of the Burning Bush and the other 16 novels all belong to...
01:09:11Anne Roy.
01:09:13You only burned the manuscripts that I had recompiled.
01:09:21The originals were written over the course of 25 years, whenever and wherever I could find a moment.
01:09:26All while I served this family as a dedicated wife and mother.
01:09:31Oh, my God.
01:09:32This is so exciting.
01:09:34I think I'm having a heart attack.
01:09:35This proves nothing.
01:09:38Anyone could have copied Dad's books down on sticky notes.
01:09:40Those manuscripts were written on receipts, greeting cards, newspaper margins.
01:09:47All of them clearly dated, spanning the course of two and a half decades.
01:09:54Johnny, you can't let her do this.
01:09:56You have to explain.
01:10:01Don't oversway yourself.
01:10:02All those menial house tasks you did back home, they're just like you.
01:10:08Worthless.
01:10:10I'll be there as soon as I can, man.
01:10:29Oh, Anne.
01:10:31Look at you.
01:10:32You're so emotionally unstable that you're going to cry over a bunch of scraps of paper.
01:10:37You are a stay-at-home housewife.
01:10:40You've had nothing but time to sit and doodle and copy down my manuscripts.
01:10:44What, you think this proves anything?
01:10:45You could have been just copying my novels before they were even published.
01:10:48He has a point.
01:10:49Anne has a secretly copied down Jonathan's manuscript.
01:10:54Mom is clearly crazy obsessed with Dad.
01:10:57Emphasis on the crazy.
01:10:58She probably copied down his manuscript whenever she had time.
01:11:00Mom, I've seen her do it with my own two eyes.
01:11:04Oh, that's what it was.
01:11:05You think makes sense now?
01:11:07What a psychotic woman.
01:11:08She's trying to ruin him because she can't have him.
01:11:11Do you hear that?
01:11:16You thought yourself that right?
01:11:20Now, get down on your knees.
01:11:23Polish my shoes till they sparkle.
01:11:25You made your mess.
01:11:27Housewife.
01:11:30You have no idea how badly you regret this.
01:11:35Anne, hold on.
01:11:37I'm almost there.
01:11:37Everything I've ever wanted, I've achieved.
01:11:43Money, prestige, a fantastic lover.
01:11:47I've got it all.
01:11:48You're the one who should be regretting the choices.
01:11:53You have nothing.
01:11:56Long, you can't blame anyone but yourself.
01:11:59You chose to be a housewife.
01:12:01And you should have chosen to spend more time trying to keep your husband's attention.
01:12:06You're right.
01:12:08I did choose this.
01:12:10And I don't regret being a stay-at-home mom.
01:12:12Nothing gave me more pleasure than making sure that my family was loved and cared for.
01:12:19Now that I'm chairwoman again, I'll nurture Void Publishing in much the same way.
01:12:23I am going to reorganize this company, establish better standards, and make sure to blacklist toxic people like the Ashers.
01:12:30Oh, come on.
01:12:33Stop dreaming, Anne.
01:12:34The writing's on the wall.
01:12:35Void Publishing House is done for.
01:12:38Let me get this right.
01:12:39You think the industry is just a homeless, topless, divorced failure of a housewife to establish better standards?
01:12:46You couldn't even keep your own house in order.
01:12:49They'll trust Anne Roy.
01:12:52They'll trust the heiress of the Roy Empire and the true author of this company's best-selling books.
01:12:57And your delusions long enough.
01:13:00Go spout your crazy nonsense elsewhere.
01:13:03Charity, what are you waiting for?
01:13:05Don't touch her.
01:13:06Sorry, I'm late.
01:13:12No, you're right on time.
01:13:19Oh, good.
01:13:20Now, little lover boy has finally arrived.
01:13:23We can send the two lovebirds to the police station together.
01:13:27Well, you are right to assume that someone's going to jail tonight.
01:13:30Oh, Mr. Harper.
01:13:32I know you just arrived, so you probably haven't heard.
01:13:35But you two are done for.
01:13:38Once news of your filthy affair gets out, the board members will kick the spouse out of the company.
01:13:43Then Mr. Asher will be asked to take over as CEO.
01:13:49That's a pretty good plan you got there.
01:13:51Except for one little hiccup.
01:13:52Anne predicted everything you were going to do one step ahead the whole time.
01:13:55She even planned a little surprise for this exact occasion.
01:14:01This here is a report from a forensic trace analyst.
01:14:04We recovered some shards of a burnt manuscript from the Asher family fireplace.
01:14:09It confirms the aldermen's in the burnt writing.
01:14:11And the results confirmed the handwriting and all the papers in there were that of Miss Anne Roy.
01:14:16That's impossible.
01:14:23That's impossible.
01:14:24Those ashy scrap, you 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 deleted footage from your security cameras in your house.
01:14:34Which showed you throwing all the manuscripts in the fire.
01:14:37Clearly.
01:14:38Johnny, you never did that, right?
01:14:41The results must be forged.
01:14:43That's impossible.
01:14:44No, no.
01:14:45No, 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 would be convinced by some trumped-up report.
01:14:59Rip it up all you want.
01:14:59That's just one of, like, many copies.
01:15:03It's time, Henry.
01:15:04Time to crush their hopes.
01:15:06It would be my pleasure.
01:15:10Here you are.
01:15:11You should release the news of Jonathan's scandal, please.
01:15:13All right.
01:15:19Oh, stop bluffing, you fool!
01:15:22How far you think your fake news is gonna get?
01:15:24You know how high up my friends are in the media?
01:15:28It won't get past their desk.
01:15:32Oh, stop.
01:15:41All of our media contacts have cut ties with us.
01:15:45They're releasing headlines that say you used a ghostwriter on the front page!
01:15:50Ladies and gentlemen, I just received official word
01:15:52after reviewing the evidence provided by Ms. Lloyd.
01:15:56The Nobel Prize jury has reason to believe
01:15:58that all of Mr. Asher's novels were ghostwritten by her.
01:16:04They have subsequently decided to revoke
01:16:06Mr. Asher's award.
01:16:09Additionally,
01:16:10he is banned
01:16:12from Nobel consideration
01:16:13for life.
01:16:17Oh, my God!
01:16:19No, you can't do this!
01:16:22Stevie Hatt.
01:16:24His career is down the drain now,
01:16:26and he's a fan of the most prestigious
01:16:27publishing house.
01:16:29Jonathan Asher and 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.
01:16:36I have 16 books!
01:16:41Did you write a single one?
01:16:43I wrote the acknowledgments.
01:16:46You wrote the acknowledgments.
01:16:50You liar!
01:16:52You ruined my life!
01:16:54You told me!
01:16:55You wrote every single one of those books!
01:16:59How could I have believed abroad like you?
01:17:02Dad?
01:17:02What did you do now?
01:17:05My business is going to go bust!
01:17:07He's going to kill me!
01:17:08No, darling, please.
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.
01:17:22Man,
01:17:24you always get so nice.
01:17:26You're such a kind person
01:17:27who couldn't really do this to us, right?
01:17:28Get your filthy hands off!
01:17:32Pulse to us!
01:17:35But I 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 that I put down
01:18:26on that page is a testament
01:18:27to what I have done
01:18:28for this family.
01:18:31Every page,
01:18:32every book,
01:18:33every accolade
01:18:34belongs to me
01:18:35and Roy.
01:18:38And George is 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, don't hurt me.
01:19:13I'll leave.
01:19:15I'll leave.
01:19:15I'll leave.
01:19:15I'll leave.
01:19:41Henry.
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.
01:20:19I 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.
