Short filmTranscript
00:09Congratulations, Dr. Ivy Wright, a generational talent.
00:13At 18 years old, she earned her Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard.
00:19Five years ago, I went by my birth name, Ivy Wright, a celebrated mathematician.
00:32Ivy, this is for you.
00:35So what's next in life of a genius mathematician?
00:39Thanks, Lucas.
00:41Well, I met someone this past summer.
00:43It was so freeing, so different.
00:48He saw me as a normal woman.
00:50I didn't have to speak about my brains or the family I come from.
00:53Are you sure?
00:55You just got your Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard.
00:57You know, math has always been easy for me, but the life I've been living, it's quite empty.
01:03All this recognition feels like a burden.
01:08I want a family, Lucas.
01:09I am not sure I can ever have that if I am always living in the shadow of Ivy Wright.
01:14You're not in the shadow of Ivy Wright.
01:19You are Ivy Wright.
01:20I know, but I want to fall in love, get married, and live a simple happy day.
01:31Ironically, the life of academia I tried to leave behind has found me once more through my son.
01:37Ryder, at the age five, is ranked highest in International Math Olympiad.
01:43What's it like living with a generational genius?
01:46In everyone's eyes, I am just simple housewife.
01:49I just hope this pressure is easier on my son than it was on me.
01:53Ryder, who do you credit most for your incredible intellect?
02:00Ouch!
02:01Hey!
02:02The kid?
02:04He bit his mom?
02:05Did you see that?
02:09I want to thank my dad and my mentor, Miss Prennan.
02:12I have inherited my dad's incredible genes, and I am grateful for the guidance I got from the scarlet print.
02:23Everyone hungry?
02:31Miss Prennan, you can join us, too.
02:41Come on, Sophia, let's not be selfish.
02:43This is Ryder's Day.
02:45Let him sit with his father and tutor to enjoy the moment.
02:48You, too, can eat the leftovers after we are done.
02:54Why is everyone being mean?
02:58This is a special day for Ryder.
03:01They are just caught up in the excitement.
03:04More!
03:06You've worked up quite an appetite.
03:08Let his sister do it.
03:10Her brother is a genius and will change all of our fortunes.
03:14And it would be better for Mia to learn all this at a young age.
03:18Yes, Grandma.
03:21Ryder!
03:23Why are you yelling at Ryder?
03:25Mia is the Cluds who dropped the bowl.
03:28This mess isn't going to clean itself.
03:31Ryder, I'm your mother.
03:33Who taught you to behave like this?
03:35It's a joke.
03:37Lighten up.
03:38Why are you always such a buzzkill?
03:40Why are you talking about what we're talking about?
03:44Why are you guys talking about this?
03:45Because of this?
03:45Why are you talking about it?
03:49It's just a joke.
03:54Why are you talking about it?
03:55What about you talking about it?
04:10Your first woman is like your first woman. It's great for you. I know you're going to be confused by
04:16S.W.
04:17That's why a person doesn't keep her first woman.
04:21And that's what you say.
04:23I had no idea you spoke French.
04:26Fais prouve de respect, Finn.
04:30Ryder, I am your mother.
04:32Do you really think it's okay to talk?
04:34Why does this thing talk so much?
04:37Can't it shut up?
04:38Come on. Ryder achieved something incredible today. Let him have his fun. Don't be so fragile.
04:44She's so annoying. If you are so determined to spoil Ryder's day, then perhaps you should leave.
04:52Fine. We are leaving.
04:56Tristan, your wife is leaving you. Aren't you going to stop her?
05:01No need. They have nowhere to go. They'll be back.
05:08I gave up everything for a family and this is what they gave me in return.
05:12How could they do this to me?
05:14How could they do this to Mia?
05:17Tristan, how did things change so quickly?
05:20You are not the same man I married.
05:22Mom, it's my fault.
05:24I will in Ryder's special day.
05:29No, sweetheart. You aren't to blame for any of this.
05:32You were right. Your brother was being mean and I should have done something about it.
05:48She's lost a lot of blood. She needs surgery immediately. Her blood type is AB negative and without a donor
05:55I fear the surgery will be too risky.
05:59Mommy?
06:00Mommy? Am I going to die?
06:02No, sweetheart. Mommy's here. Nothing will happen to you.
06:12Ryder, you're here. Your sister needs you. You have the same AB negative blood.
06:17I am busy. Leave me alone.
06:21Ryder.
06:22Enough. These are more than games. These are to keep his mind sharp.
06:28Tristan, this is his sister's life.
06:31You overreact for everything. She got hurt because you were careless. Why not offer your own blood?
06:37My blood isn't a match.
06:39Why is everything always about you?
06:43She doesn't have a lot of time. She might not make it.
06:51What did you say?
06:52She's lost a lot of blood. She's fallen into a coma.
06:55We need to find a donor. Within an hour, it's our only hope.
06:59Tristan, Ryder listens to you. Please, you have to help.
07:04Alright, that's enough.
07:06After all, I am her father. Stop always trying to make me the bad guy.
07:11Your sister can't wait any longer. Go.
07:14Wait. Mia's in a coma because she's lost too much blood.
07:18Now you want me to lose mine too?
07:20What? That's not...
07:24I'm your mom.
07:30Hold on.
07:31My grandson is a genius.
07:34I won't allow any Tom, Dick, Harry to get his blood. It has his DNA in it.
07:39This isn't for anyone. This is for his sister.
07:41His blood has nothing to do with his intellect.
07:44So you're a doctor now?
07:46You know this for a fact.
07:48You coddle that poor girl and are always trying to have her piggyback off Ryder's accomplishments.
07:53But this? I can't forgive this.
07:56Please. She'll die without his blood.
07:58Oh God.
08:00Oh my God.
08:06Oh my God.
08:13Oh my God.
08:18Ms Pryn, Thank you for coming over. Ryder really likes you.
08:22I'd do anything for him.
08:24You're so nice.
08:26Lucas, I wish you were my mom sometimes.
08:42Lucas?
08:43Do you want a break? I can sit with Mia.
08:46No, no. The doctors told me you're responsible for tracking down a blood donor from Mia.
08:52Turns out, AB negative is super rare.
08:56But it's something Mia and I have in common.
08:58How can I ever repay you?
09:00Don't be like that.
09:02I am always happy to help.
09:04I heard what happened with Tristan and Ryder.
09:06How could they leave like that without even caring about Mia?
09:10You deserve more.
09:12Does he even care?
09:18Maybe he still cares deep down after all.
09:22Lucas, I need to take Mia home after this.
09:25Of course.
09:28I'll drive you home.
09:42What are you doing?
09:48What were you doing?
09:51Aren't you ashamed?
09:53Do you want to sleep with him?
09:55Enough!
10:02Tristan, why did you call me home if you were only going to insult me with this?
10:06I called you because the dishes aren't going to clean by themselves.
10:09And tomorrow we are throwing Ryder a party and we invited some prestigious guests including Dr. Wright, who has apparently
10:18come out of her reclusive shell for this event.
10:22It's important that we all play nice for Ryder's benefit and future.
10:27If things go well, who knows?
10:30Perhaps Dr. Wright may even consider taking our son on as her student.
10:34Since you are so busy planning Ryder's party by sleeping with her, you might not have found the time to
10:39ask about your daughter.
10:42Mia, we were able to find a donor.
10:45She is waiting downstairs in the car to see her father.
10:48I knew she'd be alright.
10:51You're always overreacting.
10:52What makes you think Dr. Wright would work with Ryder?
10:55You don't even know Dr. Wright!
10:57Trust me, I know Dr. Wright.
11:00You do?
11:02Well, I know her type.
11:03Believe me, she'll want to work with Ryder.
11:06But I am not sure how'd she feel about you.
11:08On that we may agree.
11:11I am not sure Dr. Wright would even know who I am at all.
11:13You were so different when we met.
11:16As soon as we had kids, you ignored me and they become your focus.
11:20And once I focused more on the kids, you became jealous and so bitchy!
11:24Kid.
11:26Kid?
11:27You only focused on Ryder.
11:29That too, after I proved he had the intellect to become a genius.
11:34You always acted like Mia was never born.
11:37Did you ever really love us?
11:43Fine.
11:45If that's how it is, then I want a divorce.
11:48A divorce?
11:49How will you live?
11:51Everything you have, everything you are, is because of me.
11:54There would be no Sophia Miller if it weren't for me.
11:57You're right.
11:58You are the reason Sophie Miller exists.
12:02So let's relieve you and the world from this burden.
12:05Take back the things you gave to give her life.
12:11This cheap cardigan.
12:13I know it's a knockoff.
12:14And these pearls?
12:17You bought your mother gold and gave your own wife plastic.
12:23Are you finished?
12:25No, but we are.
12:36I'm leaving you.
12:38We're done.
12:39My feelings for you made me blind to who you really are.
12:42They made me blind to who I really am.
12:54Ah.
12:55Now I get it.
12:57You found yourself a new man, and all of a sudden you want to divorce me.
13:03Mind your words.
13:04God, Tristan, not everyone is a cheater like you
13:08We are done here
13:09My lawyers will contact you for the proceedings
13:18Look, Ryder, your mom is leaving you
13:20Since when are you so concerned about me?
13:23Enough with this nonsense
13:24Get lost already
13:26Where are you going?
13:28Are you abandoning your family?
13:30Ryder, you are welcome to join us
13:32What kind of life would that be?
13:34Do you really think you are everything you are without what I've shared with you?
13:38Miss Prynne has been more than a mother to me than you ever were
13:41Who are you?
13:43You're nothing
13:45Do you know about the things I sacrificed to have you?
13:49Who knows, in another life I may have been a Dr. Ivy Wright
13:54More like Dr. Wrong than Dr. Wright
13:57So true
13:58We are done here
14:00I'll have the divorce papers drawn up tomorrow
14:05Sophia's threats of divorce are going to completely steal focus from Ryder's party tomorrow
14:09Perhaps there is another way to frame this
14:12The tragic, devoted single father raising his genius child on his own
14:16Maybe you'll become a bigger part of Ryder's story
14:24Smart and sexy
14:27Perhaps we don't need to play the single father bit longer than we have to
14:44Welcome home, Ms. Wright
14:52Welcome home, Ms. Wright
14:54Your parents are in a major project meeting with investors
14:58I know they are excited to see you
15:00They just need a moment
15:02No project is more important than my daughter
15:12I'm sorry
15:15We're just glad you're back, Ivy
15:18Or do you prefer Sophia?
15:20Either way, it's good to have you home
15:22We've respectfully kept our distance as per your requests
15:27But I am not sure we can let these recent transactions by your soon-to-be ex-husband go unnoticed
15:32It looks like Lucas has stood by you whenever you had trouble
15:36And Sophia
15:39I will always be here for you
15:40I am not even sure who I am anymore
15:45Am I still the same Ivy Wright?
15:48Do I still have that within me?
15:50You have always been Ivy Wright
15:52Even when others called you by another name
15:54My children, my community
15:58Nobody knows me as Ivy Wright
16:01Then perhaps it's time we reintroduced
16:06Dr. Ivy Wright to the world
16:16I've been someone else for too long
16:18Welcome back, Ivy Wright
16:23Thank you, honored guests
16:25Members of the press
16:26And all of Ryder's friends and champions
16:29I'm just a single father who
16:32Worked hard to raise my child
16:33Mr. Miller, you mentioned you're a single father
16:37May we ask what happened to Ryder's mother?
16:39The invitation to today's event mentioned Ryder's parents
16:42My son grew up without a mother's love
16:45She was never really there for us
16:47But let's not focus on her
16:49Today is Ryder's Day
16:51And a day of celebration
16:57And Ryder has always had strong maternal guidance from his mentor
17:01And our dear friend, Scarlett Printing
17:06Dear friend, hardly feels descriptive enough
17:09As Scarlett has been more like a mother to Ryder
17:12We've always considered her a member of the family
17:21Ryder has completed his early education
17:23And will be able to officially graduate high school
17:27Within three weeks
17:29He will immediately engage in the process of his university entrance exams
17:33Anything you wish to share with those watching on our live stream now?
17:37Does Ryder intend on signing endorsement deals?
17:41In good time, my friends
17:42Ryder is intending numerous offers
17:44He is on pace to enter university as the youngest student since Dr. Ivy Wright
17:49How does that make you feel?
17:51Yes, Dr. Wright earned her Harvard PhD at 18
17:54An IQ over 230
17:56She holds three Guinness Book of World Records
17:58A living legend
18:00Assuming she's still alive
18:02Nobody has heard from her in years
18:03It's like she disappeared off the face of the earth
18:05Everyone, please calm down
18:07As a surprise, we've been in contact with some of Dr. Wright's associates
18:11And she is going to be making a surprise appearance today
18:14At Ryder's Event
18:19I've just received a word she'll be here shortly to congratulate my son
18:24Ryder is excited to meet this incredible woman
18:29Any discussions on Dr. Wright potentially mentoring the young boy?
18:37Let's not get ahead of ourselves
18:38Ryder and Dr. Wright haven't even met yet
18:41And I am sure their intelics will be too much for us to comprehend
18:44In terms of what connection they will make
18:47Dr. Wright?
18:58Sophia?
19:04What are you doing here?
19:08It's my son's big day
19:09Did you think I'd miss it?
19:11This is embarrassing
19:12Get out now
19:13Before anyone realizes who you really are
19:16Why are you here?
19:18I'm your mother
19:19Dad says you're getting divorced
19:22And I'll have a new mother
19:23I thought Dr. Ivy Wright was a special guest today
19:27You need to leave before Dr. Ivy Wright does arrive
19:30I am here already, my dear
19:32Are you delusional?
19:34You're out of your freaking mind
19:36Stop embarrassing yourself
19:39I've already told everyone
19:41Ryder doesn't have a mother
19:42Doesn't have a mother?
19:44What exactly did you tell everyone?
19:46What have you ever given me?
19:49Dad and Miss Prinnan have been my everything
19:51Do you really believe that?
19:53Tu is la pierre amera du monde
19:55The only stain in my life
19:57I'm ashamed of you
19:59Le respect n'est pas chiant que tu m'a doule
20:02parce que je suis ta mère
20:03C'est sans conche que tu accrode
20:04parce que c'est ta terraine méhaut
20:06Congrats on your Duotaco app purchase
20:09Anyone can learn basic French now
20:11Get out now
20:16Look, Professor Seton Myers and Durden
20:18has arrived to meet Ryder
20:19See, these three real academic giants
20:23came all for Ryder
20:24Leave now
20:26before you are exposed
20:28for who you really are
20:36Sophia
20:36The three academic giants
20:39all came for Ryder
20:40as a direct result of my invitation
20:43Really?
20:44They all came
20:45because of
20:46you?
20:47Quiet woman!
20:48The men are talking business here
20:51Unless you're going to start trick-or-treating
20:53I suggest you get out of that ridiculous costume
20:55and disappear before you ruin Ryder's event
20:59You're the one parading around
21:01as a reputable academic
21:02when we can all see through your facade
21:04and know
21:06you're just an opportunistic parasite
21:08looking to piggyback off of a child
21:10Who do you think you are?
21:12I finally know exactly who I am
21:14Who the hell are you?
21:16You're dressed up as someone else
21:17on the day of your son's big event
21:19Do you think those professors
21:21would spare you a glance?
21:22You know what?
21:23You're right
21:23This is Ryder's big day
21:25and the important guests you've invited
21:26are clearly here out of respect for you
21:28Please don't let me keep you
21:32Hello, professors
21:33Welcome to my son's party
21:35Is it really you?
21:36We heard you had disappeared without a trace
21:41We've been worried
21:42We are so incredibly honored
21:44to be here with you
21:50You are all too kind
21:53I've missed you
21:54The concerto you composed as a child
21:56is still the core focus of my advanced teachings
21:58It's beautiful beyond words
22:00That is far too generous
22:01Your article on fractals
22:03and their implications on modern theories
22:05and quantum physics
22:06helped me discover a theory
22:07that has created technological advancements
22:10I never thought I'd see in my lifetime
22:12Your early work offered me the essential tools
22:14I needed for my article
22:15I continue to use your theories
22:17on implementing Esperanto
22:19as a universal language for our space program
22:21as the most logical form of communication
22:23should we ever make first contact
22:25Wouldn't that be a lovely thing?
22:28Dad
22:29What on earth could they be talking about with mom?
22:33What is this madness?
22:36How is she fooling three of the leading minds of our time?
22:38She is cunning
22:40She has some dirt on all of you, right?
22:47Everything I am in the academic world
22:49is thanks to her research
22:50She is the epitome of authenticity
22:52If you question Dr. Wright
22:54you question all of us
22:57Apologize
22:59Apologize?
22:59To whom?
23:01The woman you are chatting with is a fraud
23:03I've known her for years
23:04and she is not worthy of your praise or time
23:07I've lived with you all these years
23:08I know you better than anyone
23:10Why is everyone believing this lie?
23:12After years together
23:13you never really knew me, did you?
23:15I can't believe I was so blind
23:17You never took the time to know me
23:19Stop this charade
23:21Apologize now!
23:23You've insulted these intellectual elites
23:25and our family with your deceptions
23:27What gives you the right?
23:29No
23:32The audacity
23:33to try and discredit Dr. Wright
23:35Wait
23:35Wait, what?
23:37Are you saying my mother is
23:38Dr. Ivy Wright?
23:40This is insane
23:41How is she Dr. Wright?
23:44You've met her, she's not smart
23:46If she really is Dr. Wright
23:49Ryder's opportunities will skyrocket
23:52Make use of it
23:53Make use of it
23:54You're right
23:56Clever
23:57All right, everyone
23:58The secret is out
24:01Everyone
24:02Look over here
24:03The real reason behind this special event
24:05And yes, our playful games of misdirection
24:08Are over
24:09It's time the world knew
24:11Ryder is the son of the academic wonder child herself
24:14The mother of my children
24:18Dr. Ivy Wright
24:22Wow
24:24You have children?
24:25Please let us know what we can do to ensure he has all of the opportunities in the world to
24:29achieve his potential
24:31If you think my son is smart, you should meet his sister
24:34This is my party
24:36Why are you making this about you?
24:39Miss Prynne is smart and successful
24:41She's a thousand times better than you
24:43So what if you have a PhD?
24:45What did you ever do with it?
24:47What a waste
24:49You really don't know your place
24:50You have no idea who she is, do you?
24:53I know exactly who she is
24:54She's been our cook
24:55And has washed our laundry
24:56And kept our home clean
24:58She's used her PhD to become the world's best nanny
25:01Is that who I am to you?
25:04Look
25:05The director of MIT
25:07Dr. Andrew Rowley is here
25:09This day is supposed to be about Ryder
25:12Perhaps Director Rowley can help us all get back to where our focus should be
25:16Leave this to me
25:20He is the director of MIT, Dr. Andrew Rowley
25:23Do you know how big of a deal it is for us to have him here?
25:26He must have come to scout Ryder for the National Youth Academic Program
25:29If Ryder is selected for that program, then he is set for life
25:33I'll make sure he is impressed by Ryder
25:37Hello
25:38You are Dr. Andrew Rowley?
25:41Yes
25:41With your busy schedule, we weren't sure if you could make it here
25:45Are you saying you were hoping I would...
25:49Not come?
25:50No, no, no
25:51That's not what I meant
25:53Look, everyone here is happier
25:55And everything shines brighter with your presence
25:57Thank you for coming, Director
26:05You must be thirsty after your journey here
26:08There's champagne over there
26:10May I pour you a glass?
26:12Get out of my way
26:13Please go bother someone else
26:15Dr. Wright, it is so great to see you
26:17Thanks to you, the National Youth Academics Program at MIT
26:20Has produced many bona fide geniuses
26:23I'm...
26:23I'm sorry
26:24Do you two know each other?
26:26They must have met at a parent meeting
26:28Please, Dr. Rowley
26:30It is kind of you to assume the child's mother had something to do with the incredible accomplishments Ryder has
26:35achieved at such an early age
26:36But I assure you
26:38Why are you still here?
26:42I mean no disrespect, Director Rowley
26:47But you are only here because we invited you
26:50How dare you?
26:52I am only here because of Dr. Wright
26:54Without her, there wouldn't even be a National Youth Academics Program at MIT
26:59This was created
27:02For her?
27:04For her?
27:06By her!
27:08Somebody please assure me
27:10This woman is not connected to this young man's development
27:15Director Rowley, Ryder was nurtured at every step by me
27:19We are all here today because of the work he and I did together
27:22You think you offered more to this day than the boy's own mother?
27:27A woman with an academic reputation
27:29That has the sharpest minds in the country gathered to meet her child?
27:33You have it all wrong
27:35She has spent all of her time trying to coddle and soft the boy
27:40I am the one who has honed in on his intellectual side
27:43That woman may be the world's greatest con artist
27:45But I can assure you she isn't an intellectual
27:47She's a moron
27:49Why do sounds keep exploding from your mouth
27:52When you never offer anything valuable to a conversation?
27:56And like that, Scarlet is speechless
28:00I didn't think it was possible
28:02You have already proven yourself to be a master of deception
28:06Is this how you found favor with the director?
28:10Did you worm your way into his bed?
28:15Is that the only play in your playbook?
28:21Apologize
28:22Now
28:23She looks like she's in good hands
28:26Weird to see a man hold his child teacher closer and with more affection than he's ever held his own
28:32wife
28:32I must say that closeness feels a scooch more intimate than parent-teacher
28:38Are they having an affair?
28:40Nonsense
28:42I'm Ryder's teacher
28:43True
28:44I care for the Miller family like they are my own
28:46But these accusations are just rumors
28:49Sure
28:49We'll all believe you more than what we just saw with our own eyes
28:53Didn't you like messing around with him?
28:55Well
28:56He's all yours now
29:00Here
29:03You want to embarrass me in front of everyone?
29:06You embarrass yourself
29:08You say I've been living a lie?
29:10Look in the mirror you hypocrite
29:12Stop pretending she's your girl
29:14And just go public with your relationship
29:16Sure
29:18It's less scandalous
29:19But she's probably still fun all the same
29:21No?
29:21I am Ryder's teacher
29:22He is my focus
29:24Your problems with keeping your husband happy
29:26Are your problems alone
29:28Why don't you let me focus on Ryder
29:31And you can try focusing on your husband for five minutes in this life
29:36Ryder is my son
29:39You don't need to worry about him
29:40Do you think he'd come to you or me
29:42If we both held out our hand right now?
29:45It's normal for a boy to want to impress his father
29:49Tristan has taken advantage of that for his own selfish needs
29:52But I can help Ryder
29:54Get back on the right path
29:57Ryder
29:58Would you like to live with me?
30:00With Mia?
30:01I only want the best for you
30:03You are my son
30:06I hate being your son
30:09I don't want to live with you
30:11I want Miss Prynne to be my mother
30:13Not you
30:15You are a liar
30:16And poor
30:17And
30:17Ryder, I'm not poor
30:18I come from a very wealthy family
30:20I just didn't want you to have to face the pressures I faced with that name
30:24If you are rich
30:25Then I hate you for keeping this from me and living a lie
30:27If you are poor
30:28You are lying to me now
30:30Either way, your wish I came from anyone else but you
30:33If you did love me
30:34You'd die and disappear
30:36So I could move on to a better life
30:38Did you hear that?
30:40Ivy
30:40If you truly love Ryder
30:42Then leave him the hell alone
30:44I hate you
30:46I hate you
30:47My own son
30:51Sees me as his enemy
30:57Fine then
30:59Ryder, as per your wishes
31:00I will no longer consider you my son
31:03Oh no
31:04How will Ryder ever survive without you?
31:07Once upon a time
31:08These people may have looked at your intellect
31:10As something to be admired
31:12But I assure you
31:13Everyone will forget who you are
31:15When they see what I am capable of
31:17You may have my brain for mathematics
31:20Languages and music
31:22But you are definitely your father's son
31:23When it comes to empty bluster and spiteful verbal diarrhea
31:28My apologies, Andrew
31:29I fear we've wasted your time
31:32While Ryder has shown great promise in certain areas
31:34I fear he's a product of both his mother and father
31:37And he doesn't have the social skills or humanity worthy of this program
31:41I believe it would be best for the program to choose another prodigy
31:45As you wish
31:48What the actual pho?
31:50Director Rowley, you must be mistaken
31:52Sophia
31:54Ivy
31:55I don't know what to call her anymore
31:57Is deceptive and has been misleading people all of her life
32:00You claim to value academia above all else
32:04And yet you never realized you were married to the smartest woman of our time?
32:09And that she is also the only child of Isaac and Diana Wright?
32:13Are you talking about Wright Industries?
32:17Isaac and Diana Wright?
32:19Who do you think sponsors our program?
32:23You are hosting an event for the smartest and wealthiest people in the nation
32:27And you don't even know who any of them are?
32:29Ms. Prynne
32:30You have accused me numerous times of living a life of lies
32:36And yet
32:37You're not actually a Prynne, are you?
32:40Is this true?
32:44So you knew
32:46I wasn't who I was all along?
32:48I'm literally one of the smartest people in the world
32:51Wasn't hard to figure it out
32:54Sign the divorce papers
32:56Let's end this
32:57I'll need time, of course, to review these
33:00And ensure the proper elements are all in order
33:03Property and asset division
33:05Deaths and liabilities
33:07Spousal support
33:08What are you saying?
33:10You're rich, right?
33:12I forgive you for everything
33:13We can work through this
33:15For the children
33:18You really had everyone fooled
33:19The secret to a great relationship is maintaining curiosity
33:23And I'll be damned if I am not curious as to where this is all going
33:28I agree
33:28I am curious, too
33:31What kind of a mentor to your son would I be if I didn't help his parents find a way
33:35to stay together?
33:36What are you doing? This isn't right
33:39You said you wanted this, too
33:42If you insist
33:43I guess we'll just have to split your assets in half
33:46You're not getting a single cent from my family
33:49I don't make the laws
33:52I just follow them
33:53You cheated
33:55Legally, you leave with nothing
33:57Cheated?
33:59I've always been upfront and honest
34:00You're the one with the secret family and different names
34:04Do you really want to play this out in court?
34:06You're lucky I'm only asking for half
34:09Fine
34:11You want evidence?
34:18Are you sure you want to do this?
34:24This medical report proves that Scarlett is pregnant
34:27Five weeks, six days
34:28You two are about to have a child
34:31And you're still pretending to be strangers
34:36Fake news
34:37This is clearly AI
34:39That doesn't even look like me
34:42Feels pretty real to me
34:44You've always wanted to be famous, Scarlett
34:47How do you like it now?
34:49Ugh
34:50Can't believe he did it with his son's mentor
34:53Sign the divorce papers
34:55Now
34:58You are despicable
35:00I won't sign this
35:01Oh
35:03So you are willing to let Scarlett's baby
35:06Grow up as a bastard?
35:09Tristan
35:09Maybe we should sign
35:12Ryder is our future
35:14We have a
35:15A lot to think about here
35:17Ryder's mind is worth more than her inheritance
35:21She's right
35:22I can't keep begging her like this
35:24Ryder can make twice more money than what her family has
35:28We'll see
35:34I didn't know Sophia could be so ruthless
35:36How did she even find out about you embezzling money from your company?
35:40I don't know
35:41I had to give my lawyer everything I owned
35:44To just stay out of jail
35:47What about Ryder now?
35:48Who will take care of him?
35:50Where's your mother?
35:52She left the moment we moved to this house
35:55Ryder's violin is worth at least $300,000
35:59We can buy him a new one once we're back on our feet
36:02Sell it
36:04Sell it yourself
36:10Do you like this piano Mia?
36:12I love it mom
36:15But it's too costly
36:16I want to be the world's best pianist
36:19I won't let you down
36:20But I don't need fancy things
36:24Ryder
36:24Do you want to play your latest consorto for your sister?
36:28I think she may prefer songs played on a kazoo
36:30I'd hate to overstimulate her fragile body
36:33Or risk upsetting the delicate blood type of hers
36:37With anything too sophisticated
36:40That's the violin I bought for Ryder
36:42It was imported from Germany
36:43And is considered one of the finest violins ever made
36:50Are you crazy?
36:52Do you even know how much it costs?
36:54It doesn't matter
36:55You better compensate me for this
36:58Or I'll call the police
36:59Did you forget that I bought it?
37:01I have the receipt to prove it
37:03What about you?
37:04You can see it clearly now, don't you?
37:07Without me, you can't even survive
37:18Your new boyfriend is quite the violent man
37:19I'd be careful if I were you
37:21Remember, you are setting an example
37:23For that young daughter of yours
37:26Thank you, Lucas
37:29Mr. Lucas, you are a smart man
37:31May I ask you a question?
37:33Of course, Mia
37:34What is it?
37:35My brother is smart
37:36Very smart
37:37Do you think if I work hard
37:38I could be that smart too?
37:40You are already a smart girl, darling
37:42In many ways smarter than your brother already
37:45But more importantly than being a smart girl
37:47I want you to be a happy girl
37:48Mia, you're amazing
37:50I have every confidence
37:51Your mother will give you
37:52Everything you need
37:53To be happy in this life
37:54Uh-huh
37:58I am not sure this is a good idea
37:59Do you have a better idea?
38:01Ryder is her son
38:05Why are you sneaking around in front of my house?
38:08Your son can't afford his schooling
38:10And needs money so he can continue on his path
38:12So that's why you're here?
38:14You need me?
38:16Are you that desperate?
38:18You must be
38:19Else why would you come here begging?
38:21Come on
38:22It's for your kid
38:23I am pretty sure Ryder made it clear
38:25He'd prefer it if Scarlet was his mother
38:27Scarlet?
38:28Can you pre-as-lumb this to money for their schooling?
38:31Heartless, bitch
38:33Once Ryder completes his dissertation
38:35He'll have offers from all the biggest companies in the world
38:38We don't need you or your money
38:40Nothing would bring me greater joy
38:42And to see my children happy and successful
38:45Let's go
38:51Mom, look
38:57Straight A's again
38:58She's remarkable
38:59She's almost finished the high school curriculum
39:01This would be three full weeks earlier than her brother did it
39:04Mia, you are doing so well
39:06Would you want to take the university entrance exams and consider some bigger paths?
39:10Yes
39:11I want to be like mommy
39:12I want to make her proud
39:14You already do, my darling, every day
39:17How shall we celebrate your straight A's today?
39:20Mmm
39:22I want both of you to kiss me at the same time
39:25And they be some ice cream
39:38I knew it
39:40I knew you both liked each other
39:42You little rascal
39:46Hey, Mia, be careful
39:47I adore our little girl
40:18What did you say?
40:19Someone who truly cared about me
40:21After Mia goes to bed
40:22Would you walk with me tonight?
40:23I'd love to get some fresh air and see the stars
40:26I'd like that too
40:33These aren't so bad, are they?
40:35Pretty cheap and fresh
40:37Look, is that Ivy?
40:39Let's go check it out
40:43Well, well
40:44Out all alone celebrating yourself with candles and flowers?
40:47No, you're not batshit crazy at all
40:49I knew it
40:50You love yourself so much you've decided to make it official
40:53And confess you are deeply in love with you and only you
40:58Ivy
41:05I have found a way to love myself again
41:07And in doing so, I finally opened up to having others love me for who I really am
41:15You gotta be careful around men looking for sloppy seconds
41:17And women who do the same?
41:20You bitch!
41:21The ink isn't even dry on our divorce papers
41:23And you're already seeing someone else?
41:25You are such an ignorant hypocrite
41:30Ivy
41:31I know these Ecuadorian roses are your favorite
41:33I had them shipped in from Paris
41:35That is so thoughtful
41:37I do like occasionally like to indulge in the finer things in life
41:44Do you really think this whatever he is supposed to be can make you happy?
41:47I guess he'll have an easier time now that I've loosened you up for him
41:53Nobody speaks to her like that
41:54Ow! See, I told you he was violent!
41:58Stop it! Stop fighting!
42:07Ah! I'm bleeding!
42:24How is she?
42:25She's going to be okay
42:27But I'm very sorry
42:29We couldn't save the baby
42:37You killed our child!
42:47Scarlet
42:49I'm heartbroken too
42:50It was an accident
42:52It doesn't matter if you did it on purpose or not
42:56It's all your fault!
43:00Scarlet, the one who should really be blamed is Ivy
43:02If she hadn't pushed me, would things have turned physical?
43:04Stop blaming her for everything
43:05This is 100% on you
43:07You are always running from responsibility
43:11How did I not see you were a terrible father?
43:13How you've already abandoned your daughter and now our baby
43:15The baby didn't even have a name
43:17You weren't even in your second trimester
43:19I am sad too, but we can make another one
43:21And the child we need to focus on most is still Ryder
43:27I swear you love that child more than you've loved any woman
43:33I apologize if I've ever given anyone the impression otherwise
43:36Ryder is your child with Ivy
43:38I wanted one that was our own
43:40So you've never considered Ryder your son at all?
43:44I have always loved that child like my own
43:47But no matter what you do, he'll always be a reminder of her
43:58Why do I feel like you didn't have running into Tristan and Scarlet on your bingo card when you were
44:02planning this night?
44:05I feel like you've always been there for me when I need you most
44:08Ivy
44:10I want to always be there for you when you need me most
44:13You really went all out with the flowers tonight?
44:16Ivy
44:18I want us to be together
44:21I have two children with the night nerve of a father
44:24I've been dismissive of my potential
44:26I think you've always been exactly who you needed to be at the time
44:29Nothing about what I've done, the choices I've made, the life I've created should appeal to you
44:35Ivy
44:36Every ounce of your essence appeals to me
44:38That wouldn't be fair to you
44:40Hiding my feelings and not asserting myself earlier is what has been unfair to me
44:44And you
44:45Lucas, I've been so focused on being a mother, being a wife
44:49I've stopped focusing on what it also means to be me
44:52I'm not sure I am ready to start a new relationship
44:54I wouldn't want to lose myself again
44:55I wouldn't ever want any version of you that wasn't the most truthful and self-loving version of yourself
45:01I'm not worthy of you right now
45:03Right now I'm in a place where I've needed you to save me countless times
45:07I like being there for you
45:08And for this to ever work, I need to know I can be there for you and my children too
45:13Ivy
45:14I've waited for this for a long time
45:16And I'd spend the rest of my days waiting if that's what it takes
45:19I want us to be together
45:19But when you're ready
45:21And never sooner nor a minute later
45:27You lost our house
45:28You lost our baby
45:29And now you can't even find the remote control
45:31Kristen
45:32Are you here just to make my life even harder?
45:34I've given up everything for you
45:36In fact, your pregnancy fast-tracked my divorce to Ivy
45:39You were going to leave her anyway
45:41Why do you keep bringing her up?
45:43Do you want her back?
45:44Is that it?
45:45No!
45:46No!
45:47No!
45:50Shut up, both of you
45:52Stop fighting
45:54All right
45:55We'll stop fighting
45:56As you can see, we are all willing to invest everything we have in you, my son
46:01You are our future
46:02You are the future for all of us
46:06Ryder, sweetheart
46:07We are all counting on you
46:08This upcoming American Scholarship Program
46:10Is a chance to show that ungrateful mother of yours
46:12How great you truly are
46:13Do well there
46:14And we will live a life that none of us have even imagined
46:22Today is the day we announce the results of the qualifying tests for the American Scholarship Program
46:30Welcome, everyone
46:35If you will turn your attention to the main aisle, you will see one of this year's top participants, Ryder
46:40Miller
46:41He is always impressive and we all predict him to be at the top when the results are announced
46:47I could get used to this
46:51This is just the beginning
46:53Once Ryder's results are announced, this will be our daily life
46:57Today, we are also honored to welcome a very special guest
47:00She is the founder of this amazing program and one of the sharpest minds of our time
47:05Dr. Ivy Wright
47:20An interesting development in recent weeks is that Dr. Wright has both of her children
47:25Her son, Ryder, and her daughter, Mia, compete in the exams one week ago
47:30Mia?
47:32Really?
47:34This is why DEI programs don't work
47:36What a joke
47:37Is she going to fill out her forms in crayon?
47:41Unbelievable
47:43Is this some make-a-wish thing?
47:45Everyone is here for Ryder
47:48Why do you insist on embarrassing yourself and our children?
47:53Wrong
47:55Everyone is here to see the new candidates who are selected in the American Scholarship Program
48:01I just hope your Ryder can keep up with all this pressure
48:05I think Ryder is going to be fine
48:07Once the results confirm Ryder as the top candidate
48:12Do not try to steal his spotlight with all of the I'm his mommy nonsense
48:16This is his day, not yours
48:18If your intellect matched your overconfidence, you might actually be dangerous
48:23I love how you never let facts or reality get in the way of your opinions
48:27It's actually quite fascinating
48:29Ladies and gentlemen, if everyone could please take their seats
48:32We will shortly be announcing the results of this year's competition
48:37Should Ryder sit with us or up there with you?
48:42What makes more sense so it is easiest for him to make his speech
48:51The results for Ryder Miller
48:59In the math event
49:01Five points
49:03In the literature event
49:06Five points
49:08And five points
49:09In the languages event
49:14Together with the remaining events
49:16Ryder has scored a total of 20 points
49:19Ryder would unfortunately be disqualified from the program
49:23That's impossible
49:25You must have the wrong name on the forms
49:28Ryder is a child prodigy
49:31Ouch
49:32Feels a little low
49:34Even for Ryder
49:36You've been a distraction
49:37And likely the reason he couldn't focus
49:39And now the results for Mia Miller
49:40She has scored 150 points in the next event
49:43A perfect score
49:44150 points in literature
49:47And 150 points in languages
49:52That is a record which will never be broken
49:55I'm not sure her own mother would have scored that high
50:00Dr. Wright
50:02Mia's results were off the charts
50:05Mr. Miller, you must be so proud of your daughter
50:09Sure, Ryder didn't fare as well as anyone thought
50:11But
50:13I can't let this end like this
50:16You
50:18You have all been kept in the dark
50:21I can't believe it
50:22There have been things clearly kept from you
50:27Mr. Miller, what exactly is it that you are trying to say?
50:31Is there a reason why Ryder scored so low?
50:33Ryder Miller, the biological son of Dr. Ivy Wright
50:36Was so traumatized by his mother's infidelities and abandonment
50:39He was competing in these events under incredible duress
50:44She has taunted him in recent weeks
50:45Parading around with her scandalous boyfriend
50:48And routinely abandoning him
50:50No, you left me
50:53You cheated on me
50:55I did nothing wrong
50:56You never have taken any accountability for anything, have you?
51:01You even pretended to be someone else
51:04To trick me into marrying you?
51:07My son
51:09Deserves another chance
51:10She took everything from us
51:14Ryder and I were left with nothing
51:17He's just a child
51:18What kind of kid could survive that level of humiliation?
51:22These are all lies
51:23Is that right?
51:26Sophia?
51:27Or is it Ivy?
51:29Are you even able to keep it straight?
51:31You have convinced Ryder I am his enemy for years now
51:36You give me too much credit
51:39Is there any child who doesn't want his mother?
51:42Tristan Miller
51:44I thought I warned you about this already
51:48Right on schedule
51:50This is the man who has destroyed our family
51:53And helped Ryder's mother to crush his future
51:55And what is your connection to the Miller family?
51:58How do you know Dr. Wright?
52:00Are you really her lover?
52:02Yes
52:03But this is all recent
52:05After Ivy divorced her husband
52:07After we found him cheating on her with Miss Scarlet here
52:11Liar!
52:12We've all seen the video Tristan
52:14Your lies end today
52:16You did everything in your power to make me leave
52:19And every time I tried to protect our children from our lies
52:23You turned them against me
52:25You made my own child
52:27My son wish he could be raised by another woman
52:34Ryder?
52:35How do you feel about all of this?
52:37Do you feel your mother abandoned you?
52:40I don't like that woman
52:41I prefer Miss Prinnan
52:44She's been more of a mother to me than anyone else in this world
52:47She's always been more like a mother than a tutor to me
52:50When my father would take me to academic camps
52:53She'd find a way to be there
52:54Even when my own mother wasn't there
52:56She would even save my family money on these trips
53:00By sleeping in the same bed as my father
53:02So we didn't need a second room
53:05The boy is confused
53:07I did not sleep in the same bed as his father
53:10Why would you say that?
53:12My son is a genius
53:15But his road has not been easy
53:17He was raised by a mother who spins webs of lies
53:19And can't always tell fact from fiction
53:21As you can see
53:24Her deceptive ways continue to haunt the poor boy
53:27She's jealous of her son
53:30She tried to hide who she was
53:32And now she's trying to hide who he can be
53:34This is a pattern
53:35Nobody is buying any of this, Tristan
53:37Good
53:39Because I am not selling anything
53:40I am just stating facts
53:42In some parts of this world
53:44Things like the truth and honesty still mean something
53:46I couldn't agree more
53:52Isn't that Mr. Baker?
53:54Writer's sponsor?
53:56Didn't he fund the kids' training and examination charges?
53:58I am glad you are here, Mr. Baker
54:00Are you sure?
54:02There have been some concerns raised about ethics and trust of this program, sir
54:06Really?
54:08You are the one to talk about ethics?
54:11I didn't catch it at first
54:13In fact, I didn't catch it at all
54:15It was Professors Seton, Myers, and Durden who brought it to my attention
54:19I don't understand
54:21While you are undoubtedly one of the least intelligent people in this room
54:24I highly suspect this is something you do actually understand
54:28Do you remember why I agreed to sponsor your son?
54:32It was because of his scores in the last three qualifying exams
54:35There were three qualifying tests in the last month
54:39That your son passed with flying colors
54:43Before he could appear for this exam
54:45Turns out you faked your son's grades in all the three exams
54:50And did a convincing job that even fooled me
54:53Are you saying Writer's test results were faked?
54:56So this has all been a deceptive ploy
54:58I poured a lot of money into your son
55:01You had me convinced
55:03This young man was a path to a promising future for all of us
55:07Mr. Baker, this is all a misunderstanding
55:11This is the contract you signed
55:15I think you know where this is going
55:22What is it?
55:24According to this contract
55:26If you were to breach its terms
55:28Or in other words
55:29If you were to commit fraud
55:31You would owe me a compensation of 40 million dollars
55:34I don't have that kind of money
55:37You better find it
55:39As the alternative is much worse
55:41How did you let this happen?
55:44Me?
55:45You're the one who said nobody would ever find out
55:47That's the problem with trying to outsmart people smarter than you
55:51If either of you were smarter
55:52You'd have realized how dumb your plan was
55:54I hate you
55:55Don't be angry, mom
55:57I am not your mom
55:59Get lost
56:01I hate you too
56:02I hate all of you
56:06If you don't give me an answer here, Mr. Miller
56:09I am afraid I will have to call the authorities
56:12And make this a criminal matter
56:18Ivy
56:19Please
56:21For the boy
56:22This isn't Ryder's debt
56:24Or fault
56:25This is on you
56:26What you have done has violated not only our vows
56:30But your responsibility to your children
56:33And quite simply
56:35The law
56:37I am so
56:38So sorry
56:43You are going to jail for a long time, Tristan
56:47And without you
56:48Ryder will go to a foster home
56:51I hope this is the last time I am ever seeing you
56:54Goodbye
56:55Forever
56:56To both of you
57:01Stop filming me
57:06The first prize in today's piano competition goes to Mia Wright
57:12It's hard to believe such a big, powerful, and beautiful sound came from the small and delicate little body
57:19You know her mother is Dr. Ivy Wright, yes?
57:23I want to invite my mom onto the stage
57:25This honor, I want to give it to her
57:33Thank you, my sweetheart
57:35I love you, I love you, and I love you, sweetie
57:39I am so proud of you
57:42Look at the screen
57:49I've waited all these years
57:52And I agree with you, and I agree with you, and I agree with Mia
57:54You do take good care of all of us
57:56Ivy
57:59Will you marry me?
58:00Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
58:06What do you think, honey?
58:24That's what I think
58:30I agree with you, and I agree with you
58:31I will
