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. It was so freeing, so different.
00:48He saw me as a normal woman. I didn't have to speak about my brains or the family I come
00:53from.
00:53Are you sure? You 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. I am not sure I can ever have that if I am always living in
01:13the 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 life.
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.
01:42What'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!
02:03The kid? He bit his mom? Did you see that?
02:09I want to thank my dad and my mentor, Ms. Prennan.
02:13I have inherited my dad's incredible genes, and I am grateful for the guidance I got from the scarlet print.
02:24Everyone hungry?
02:31Ms. Prennan, you can join us too.
02:41Come on, Sophia, let's not be selfish.
02:44This is Ryder's day.
02:45Let him sit with his father and tutor to enjoy the moment.
02:48You two can eat the leftovers after we are done.
03:00This is a special day for Ryder.
03:03They are just caught up in the excitement.
03:06More!
03:08You've worked up quite an appetite.
03:10Let his sister do it.
03:12Her brother is a genius and will change all of our fortunes.
03:16And it would be better for Mia to learn all this at a young age.
03:20Yes, Grandma.
03:23Ryder!
03:25Why are you yelling at Ryder?
03:27Mia is the Kluds who dropped the bowl.
03:30This mess isn't going to clean itself.
03:33Ryder, I'm your mother.
03:35Who taught you to behave like this?
03:37It's a joke.
03:39Lighten up.
03:40Why are you always such a buzzkill?
03:42Poor Koi as 2-8-Pau-si-Qual-Q-un-Jossy-Simple.
03:46Sae-ves-viuli as Kwa-ji-Fas-Ryar.
03:49Vas-Ari as Pumi-lur-un-Clown.
03:51To fund a family, we don't have a genius.
03:56We don't have a genius.
03:57We don't have a enthusiasm.
04:25I had no idea you spoke French.
04:28They proved to respect him.
04:32Ryder, I am your mother.
04:34Do you really think it's okay to talk?
04:37Why does this thing talk so much?
04:39Can't it shut up?
04:40Come on.
04:41Ryder achieved something incredible today.
04:44Let him have his fun.
04:45Don't be so fragile.
04:47She's so annoying.
04:48If you are so determined to spoil Ryder's Day,
04:51then perhaps you should leave.
04:55Fine.
04:56We are leaving.
04:59Tristan, your wife is leaving you.
05:02Aren't you going to stop her?
05:03No need.
05:04They have nowhere to go.
05:07They'll be back.
05:12I gave up everything for a family,
05:14and this is what they gave me in return.
05:16How could they do this to me?
05:18How could they do this to Mia?
05:21Tristan, how did things change so quickly?
05:24You are not the same man I married.
05:26Mom, it's my fault.
05:28I ruined Ryder's special day.
05:33No, sweetheart.
05:34You aren't to blame for any of this.
05:36You were right.
05:37Your brother was being mean,
05:39and I should have done something about it.
05:52She's lost a lot of blood.
05:55She needs surgery immediately.
05:57Her blood type is AB negative,
05:58and without a donor,
05:59I fear the surgery will be too risky.
06:03Mommy?
06:04Am I going to die?
06:06No, sweetheart.
06:07Mommy's here.
06:09Nothing will happen to you.
06:16Ryder,
06:17you're here.
06:18Your sister needs you.
06:20You have the same AB negative blood.
06:21I am busy.
06:23Leave me alone.
06:25Ryder.
06:26Enough.
06:28These are more than games.
06:30These are to keep his mind sharp.
06:32Tristan,
06:33this is his sister's life.
06:35You overreact for everything.
06:37She got hurt because you were careless.
06:40Why not offer your own blood?
06:41My blood isn't a match.
06:44Why is everything always about you?
06:47She doesn't have a lot of time.
06:49She might not make it.
06:56What did you say?
06:57She's lost a lot of blood,
06:59and she's fallen into a coma.
07:00We need to find a donor.
07:02Within an hour,
07:02it's our only hope.
07:03Tristan,
07:04Ryder listens to you.
07:06Please,
07:07you have to help.
07:08All right.
07:09That's enough.
07:11After all,
07:12I am her father.
07:14Stop always trying to make me the bad guy.
07:16Your sister can't wait any longer.
07:18Go.
07:19Wait.
07:20Mia's in a coma
07:21because she's lost too much blood.
07:23Now you want me to lose mine too?
07:25What?
07:26That's not me.
07:29I'm your mom.
07:31I can't believe that you have sacrificed your daughter.
07:35Hold on.
07:37My grandson is a genius.
07:39I won't allow any Tom,
07:41Dick,
07:41Harry to get his blood.
07:42It has his DNA in it.
07:44This isn't for anyone.
07:45This is for his sister.
07:47His blood has nothing to do with his intellect.
07:49So you're a doctor now?
07:51You know this for a fact.
07:53You coddle that poor girl
07:55and are always trying to have her piggyback off Ryder's accomplishments.
07:58But this?
08:00I can't forgive this.
08:01Please.
08:02She'll die without his blood.
08:24Miss Prynne,
08:26thank you for coming over.
08:27Ryder really likes you.
08:29I'd do anything for him.
08:30You're so nice.
08:33I wish you were my mom sometimes.
08:48Lucas?
08:49Do you want a break?
08:51I can sit with Mia.
08:53No, no.
08:54The doctors told me you're responsible for tracking down a blood donor for Mia.
08:57It turns out AB negative is super rare.
09:02But it's something Mia and I have in common.
09:05How can I ever repay you?
09:07Don't be like that.
09:09I am always happy to help.
09:11I heard what happened with Tristan and Ryder.
09:13How could they leave like that?
09:15Without even caring about Mia.
09:17You deserve more.
09:18Does he even care?
09:25Maybe he still cares deep down after all.
09:29Lucas, I need to take Mia home after this.
09:32Of course.
09:34I'll drive you home.
09:49What are you doing?
09:56What were you doing?
09:58Aren't you ashamed?
10:01Do you want to sleep with him?
10:03Enough.
10:09Tristan, why did you call me home?
10:12If you were only going to insult me with this...
10:14I called you because the dishes aren't going to clean by themselves.
10:18And tomorrow we are throwing Ryder a party.
10:20And we invited some prestigious guests.
10:23Including Dr. Wright.
10:25Who has apparently come out of her reclusive shell for this event.
10:30It's important that we all play nice.
10:33For Ryder's benefit and future.
10:35If things go well, who knows?
10:38Perhaps Dr. Wright may even consider taking our son on as her student.
10:42Since you are so busy planning Ryder's party by sleeping with her,
10:45you might not have found the time to ask about your daughter.
10:49Mia.
10:50We were able to find a donor.
10:53She is waiting downstairs in the car to see her father.
10:56I knew she'd be alright.
10:59You're always overreacting.
11:00What makes you think Dr. Wright would work with Ryder?
11:03You don't even know Dr. Wright!
11:05Trust me.
11:07I know Dr. Wright.
11:08You do?
11:10Well, I know her type.
11:11Believe me.
11:12She'll want to work with Ryder.
11:14But I am not sure how'd she feel about you.
11:16On that we may agree.
11:19I am not sure Dr. Wright would even know who I am at all.
11:21You were so different when we met.
11:24As soon as we had kids, you ignored me and they become your focus.
11:28And once I focused more on the kids, you became jealous and so bitchy!
11:32Kid.
11:34Kid?
11:35You only focused on Ryder.
11:37That too, after I proved he had the intellect to become a genius.
11:42You always acted like Mia was never born.
11:45Did you ever really love us?
11:51Fine.
11:53If that's how it is, then I want a divorce.
11:56A divorce?
11:58How will you live?
11:59Everything you have, everything you are, is because of me.
12:02There would be no Sophia Miller if it weren't for me.
12:05You're right.
12:06You are the reason Sophie Miller exists.
12:10So let's relieve you and the world from this burden.
12:13Take back the things you gave to give her life.
12:19This cheap cardigan.
12:21I know it's a knockoff.
12:22And these pearls?
12:25You bought your mother gold.
12:28And gave your own wife plastic.
12:31Are you finished?
12:33No, but we are.
12:45I'm leaving you.
12:46We're done.
12:48My feelings for you made me blind to who you really are.
12:51They made me blind to who I really am.
13:04Ah, now I get it.
13:06You found yourself a new man.
13:07And all of a sudden you want to divorce me.
13:12Mind your words.
13:13God, Tristan.
13:15Not everyone is a cheater like you.
13:17We are done here.
13:19My lawyers will contact you for the proceedings.
13:27Look, Ryder, your mom is leaving you.
13:30Since when are you so concerned about me?
13:32Enough with this nonsense.
13:34Get lost already.
13:35Where are you going?
13:37Are you abandoning your family?
13:39Ryder, you are welcome to join us.
13:42What kind of life would that be?
13:45Do you really think you are everything you are without what I've shared with you?
13:49Miss Prynne has been more than a mother to me than you ever were.
13:52Who are you?
13:54You're nothing.
13:56Do you know about the things I sacrificed to have you?
14:00Who knows, in another life I may have been a Dr. Ivy Wright.
14:05More like Dr. Wrong than Dr. Wright.
14:08So true.
14:09We are done here.
14:11I'll have the divorce papers drawn up tomorrow.
14:16Sophia's threats of divorce are going to completely steal focus from Ryder's party tomorrow.
14:20Perhaps there is another way to frame this.
14:23The tragic, devoted single father raising his genius child on his own.
14:28Maybe you'll become a bigger part of Ryder's story.
14:36Smart and sexy.
14:38Perhaps we don't need to play the single father a bit longer than we have to.
14:55Welcome home, Miss Wright.
15:04Welcome home, Miss Wright.
15:06Your parents are in a major project meeting with investors.
15:10I know they are excited to see you.
15:12They just need a moment.
15:14No project is more important than my daughter.
15:24I'm sorry.
15:27We're just glad you're back, Ivy.
15:30Or do you prefer Sophia?
15:32Either way, it's good to have you home.
15:34We've respectfully kept our distance as per your requests.
15:38But I am not sure we can let these recent transactions by your soon-to-be ex-husband go unnoticed.
15:44It looks like Lucas has stood by you whenever you had trouble.
15:48And Sophia, I will always be here for you.
15:52I am not even sure who I am anymore.
15:57Am I still the same Ivy Wright?
16:00Do I still have that within me?
16:02You have always been Ivy Wright.
16:04Even when others called you by another name.
16:06My children, my community.
16:09Nobody knows me as Ivy Wright.
16:13Then perhaps it's time we reintroduced
16:17Dr. Ivy Wright to the world.
16:28I've been someone else for too long.
16:31Welcome back, Ivy Wright.
16:36Thank you, honored guests, members of the press, and all of Ryder's friends and champions.
16:41I'm just a single father who worked hard to raise my child.
16:46Mr. Miller, you mentioned you're a single father.
16:49May we ask what happened to Ryder's mother?
16:52The invitation to today's event mentioned Ryder's parents.
16:55My son grew up without a mother's love.
16:58She was never really there for us.
17:00But let's not focus on her.
17:02Today is Ryder's Day and a day of celebration.
17:10And Ryder has always had strong maternal guidance from his mentor.
17:14And our dear friend, Scarlet Printing.
17:18Dear friend, hardly feels descriptive enough.
17:22As Scarlet has been more like a mother to Ryder.
17:24We've always considered her a member of the family.
17:34Ryder has completed his early education and will be able to officially graduate high school within three weeks.
17:42He will immediately engage in the process of his university entrance exams.
17:47Anything you wish to share with those watching on our live stream now?
17:51Does Ryder intend on signing endorsement deals?
17:54In good time, my friends.
17:56Ryder's intend entertaining numerous offers.
17:58He is on pace to enter university as the youngest student since Dr. Ivy Wright.
18:03How does that make you feel?
18:05Yes, Dr. Wright earned her Harvard PhD at 18.
18:08An IQ over 230.
18:09She holds three Guinness Book of World Records.
18:12A living legend.
18:14Assuming she's still alive.
18:15Nobody has heard from her in years.
18:17It's like she disappeared off the face of the earth.
18:19Everyone, please calm down.
18:21As a surprise, we've been in contact with some of Dr. Wright's associates.
18:24And she is going to be making a surprise appearance today at Ryder's event.
18:33I've just received a word she'll be here shortly to congratulate my son.
18:38Ryder is excited to meet this incredible woman.
18:42Any discussions on Dr. Wright potentially mentoring the young boy?
18:50Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
18:52Ryder and Dr. Wright haven't even met yet.
18:54And I am sure their intellics will be too much for us to comprehend.
18:58In terms of what connection they will make.
19:01Dr. Wright?
19:11Sophia?
19:18What are you doing here?
19:22It's my son's big day.
19:24Did you think I'd miss it?
19:25This is embarrassing.
19:27Get out now.
19:28Before anyone realizes who you really are.
19:31Why are you here?
19:33I'm your mother.
19:34Dad says you're getting divorced.
19:36And I'll have a new mother.
19:38I thought Dr. Ivy Wright was a special guest today.
19:42You need to leave before Dr. Ivy Wright does arrive.
19:45I am here already, my dear.
19:47Are you delusional?
19:49You're out of your freaking mind.
19:52Stop embarrassing yourself.
19:54I've already told everyone Ryder doesn't have a mother.
19:57Doesn't have a mother?
19:58What exactly did you tell everyone?
20:01What have you ever given me?
20:03Dad and Miss Prinnan have been my everything.
20:06Do you really believe that?
20:08Tu is la pierre amera du monde.
20:10The only stain in my life.
20:12I'm ashamed of you!
20:14The respect means that you make me do because I'm your mother.
20:18It's not strange that you are crude because that's the terrain of my home.
20:21Congrats on your Do-A-Taco app purchase.
20:24Anyone can learn basic French now.
20:27Get out now!
20:30Look!
20:31Professor Seton, Myers, and Durden has arrived to meet Ryder.
20:34See?
20:35These three real academic giants came all for Ryder.
20:40Leave now.
20:41Before you are exposed for who you really are.
20:52Sophia, the three academic giants all came for Ryder.
20:57As a direct result of my invitation.
20:59Really?
21:00They all came because of you?
21:03Quiet woman!
21:05The men are talking business here.
21:07Unless you're going to start trick-or-treating, I suggest you get out of that ridiculous costume
21:11and disappear before you ruin Ryder's event.
21:15You're the one parading around as a reputable academic
21:18when we can all see through your facade and know
21:22you're just an opportunistic parasite
21:25looking to piggyback off of a child.
21:27Who do you think you are?
21:28I finally know exactly who I am.
21:30Who the hell are you?
21:32You're dressed up as someone else on the day of your son's big event?
21:35Do you think those professors would spare you a glance?
21:38You know what?
21:39You're right.
21:40This is Ryder's big day
21:41and the important guests you've invited are clearly here out of respect for you.
21:45Please don't let me keep you.
21:48Hello, professors.
21:50Welcome to my son's party.
21:51Is it really you?
21:53We heard you had disappeared without a trace.
21:58We've been worried.
21:59We are so incredibly honored to be here with you.
22:08You are all too kind.
22:10I've missed you.
22:12The concerto you composed as a child is still the core focus of my advanced teachings.
22:16It's beautiful beyond words.
22:18That is far too generous.
22:19Your article on fractals and their implications on modern theories and quantum physics
22:24helped me discover a theory that has created technological advancements
22:27I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.
22:29Your early work offered me the essential tools I needed for my article.
22:33I continue to use your theories on implementing Esperanto as a universal language for our space program
22:39as the most logical form of communication should we ever make first contact.
22:43Wouldn't that be a lovely thing?
22:47Dad, what on earth could they be talking about with Mom?
22:51What is this madness?
22:54How is she fooling three of the leading minds of our time?
22:56She is cunning.
22:58She has some dirt on all of you, right?
23:05Everything I am in the academic world is thanks to her research.
23:08She is the epitome of authenticity.
23:10If you question Dr. Wright, you question all of us.
23:15Apologize.
23:16Apologize?
23:17To whom?
23:18The woman you are chatting with is a fraud.
23:22I've known her for years and she is not worthy of your praise or time.
23:25I've lived with you all these years.
23:27I know you better than anyone.
23:29Why is everyone believing this lie?
23:31After years together, you never really knew me, did you?
23:34I can't believe I was so blind.
23:36You never took the time to know me.
23:38Stop this charade.
23:40Apologize now!
23:41You've insulted these intellectual elites and our family with your deceptions.
23:45What gives you the right?
23:48No.
23:50The audacity to try and discredit Dr. Wright.
23:54Wait, what?
23:55Are you saying my mother is Dr. Ivy Wright?
23:59This is insane.
24:00How is she Dr. Wright?
24:03You've met her.
24:04She's not smart.
24:05If she really is Dr. Wright, Ryder's opportunities will skyrocket.
24:11Make use of it.
24:13You're right.
24:15Clever.
24:16All right, everyone.
24:17The secret is out.
24:20Everyone, look over here.
24:22The real reason behind this special event, and yes, our playful games of misdirection, are over.
24:27It's time the world knew.
24:30Ryder is the son of the academic wonder child herself.
24:33The mother of my children, Dr. Ivy Wright.
24:41Wow.
24:43You have children?
24:44Please let us know what we can do to ensure he has all of the opportunities in the world to
24:48achieve his potential.
24:50If you think my son is smart, you should meet his sister.
24:54This is my party.
24:56Why are you making this about you?
24:58Miss Prynne is smart and successful.
25:00She's a thousand times better than you.
25:02So what if you have a PhD?
25:04What did you ever do with it?
25:06What a waste.
25:08You really don't know your place.
25:10You have no idea who she is, do you?
25:12I know exactly who she is.
25:14She's been our cook and has washed our laundry and kept our home clean.
25:18She's used her PhD to become the world's best nanny.
25:21Is that who I am to you?
25:24Look, the director of MIT, Dr. Andrew Rowley, is here.
25:29This day is supposed to be about Ryder.
25:32Perhaps Director Rowley can help us all get back to where our focus should be?
25:36Leave this to me.
25:40He is the director of MIT, Dr. Andrew Rowley.
25:44Do you know how big of a deal it is for us to have him here?
25:47He must have come to scout Ryder for the National Youth Academic Program.
25:50If Ryder is selected for that program, then he is set for life.
25:54I'll make sure he is impressed by Ryder.
25:58Hello, you are Dr. Andrew Rowley?
26:02Yes.
26:03With your busy schedule, we weren't sure if you could make it here.
26:06Are you saying you were hoping I would not come?
26:11No, no, no. That's not what I meant.
26:13Look, everyone here is happier and everything shines brighter with your presence.
26:18Thank you for coming, Director.
26:26You must be thirsty after your journey here.
26:29There's champagne over there.
26:31May I pour you a glass?
26:32Get out of my way.
26:33Please go bother someone else.
26:36Dr. Wright, it is so great to see you.
26:38Thanks to you, the National Youth Academics Program at MIT has produced many bona fide geniuses.
26:43I'm...
26:44I'm sorry.
26:45Do you two know each other?
26:46They must have met at a parent meeting.
26:49Please, Dr. Rowley.
26:51It is kind of you to assume the child's mother had something to do with the incredible accomplishments Ryder has
26:56achieved at such an early age, but I assure you...
26:59Why are you still here?
27:04I mean no disrespect, Director Rowley.
27:09But you are only here because we invited you.
27:11How dare you?
27:13I am only here because of Dr. Wright.
27:16Without her, there wouldn't even be a National Youth Academics Program at MIT.
27:20This was created...
27:22This was created...
27:23For her?
27:26For her?
27:27By her!
27:30Somebody please assure me, this woman...
27:33Is not connected to this young man's development.
27:37Director Rowley, Ryder was nurtured at every step by me.
27:41We are all here today because of the work he and I did together.
27:44You think you offered more to this day than the boy's own mother?
27:49A woman with an academic reputation that has the sharpest minds in the country gathered to meet her child?
27:55You have it all wrong.
27:57She has spent all of her time trying to coddle and soft the boy.
28:02I am the one who has honed in on his intellectual side.
28:05That woman may be the world's greatest con artist, but I can assure you she isn't an intellectual.
28:10She's a moron.
28:12Why do sounds keep exploding from your mouth when you never offer anything valuable to a conversation?
28:19And like that, Scarlet is speechless.
28:23I didn't think it was possible.
28:25You have already proven yourself to be a master of deception.
28:29Is this how you found favor with the director?
28:33Did you worm your way into his bed?
28:38Is that the only play in your playbook?
28:43Apologize.
28:45Now.
28:46She looks like she's in good hands.
28:49Weird to see a man hold his child teacher closer and with more affection than he's ever held his own
28:55wife.
28:56I must say that closeness feels a scooch more intimate than parent-teacher.
29:00Are they having an affair?
29:03Nonsense.
29:04I'm Ryder's teacher.
29:06True.
29:07I care for the Miller family like they are my own.
29:09But these accusations are just rumors.
29:12Sure.
29:12We'll all believe you more than what we just saw with our own eyes.
29:16Didn't you like messing around with him?
29:18Well, he's all yours now.
29:22Here.
29:27You want to embarrass me in front of everyone?
29:30You embarrass yourself.
29:31You say I've been living a lie?
29:34Look in the mirror, you hypocrite.
29:36Stop pretending she's your girl and just go public with your relationship.
29:40Sure.
29:42It's less scandalous, but she's probably still fun all the same, no?
29:45I am Ryder's teacher.
29:47He is my focus.
29:48Your problems with keeping your husband happy are your problems alone.
29:52Why don't you let me focus on Ryder?
29:56And you can try focusing on your husband for five minutes in this life.
30:00Ryder is my son.
30:03You don't need to worry about him.
30:05Do you think he'd come to you or me if we both held out our hand right now?
30:09It's normal for a boy to want to impress his father.
30:13Tristan has taken advantage of that for his own selfish needs.
30:17But I can help Ryder get back on the right path.
30:21Ryder, would you like to live with me?
30:25With Mia, I only want the best for you.
30:27You are my son.
30:31I hate being your son.
30:33I don't want to live with you.
30:35I want Miss Prynne to be my mother, not you.
30:39You are a liar and poor and...
30:41Ryder, I'm not poor.
30:43I come from a very wealthy family.
30:45I just didn't want you to have to face the pressures I faced with that name.
30:48If you are rich, then I hate you for keeping this from me and living a lie.
30:51If you are poor, you are lying to me now.
30:54Either way, your wish I came from anyone else but you.
30:57If you did love me, you'd die and disappear so I could move on to a better life.
31:02Did you hear that?
31:04Ivy, if you truly love Ryder, then leave him the hell alone.
31:08I hate you!
31:10I hate you!
31:12My own son...
31:15sees me as his enemy.
31:23Fine, then.
31:25Ryder, as per your wishes, I will no longer consider you my son.
31:29Oh, no.
31:30How will Ryder ever survive without you?
31:33Once upon a time, these people may have looked at your intellect as something to be admired.
31:38But I assure you, everyone will forget who you are when they see what I am capable of.
31:44You may have my brain for mathematics, languages, and music.
31:48But you are definitely your father's son when it comes to empty bluster and spiteful verbal diarrhea.
31:54My apologies, Andrew.
31:56I fear we've wasted your time.
31:58While Ryder has shown great promise in certain areas, I fear he's a product of both his mother and father.
32:04And he doesn't have the social skills or humanity worthy of this program.
32:08I believe it would be best for the program to choose another prodigy.
32:12As you wish.
32:14What the actual pho?
32:17Director Rowley, you must be mistaken.
32:20Sophia, Ivy, I don't know what to call her anymore, is deceptive and has been misleading people all of her
32:26life.
32:26You claim to value academia above all else.
32:30And yet you never realized you were married to the smartest woman of our time?
32:36And that she is also the only child of Isaac and Diana Wright?
32:39Are you talking about Wright Industries?
32:43Isaac and Diana Wright?
32:46Who do you think sponsors our program?
32:49You are hosting an event for the smartest and wealthiest people in the nation.
32:53And you don't even know who any of them are?
32:56Miss Prynne, you have accused me numerous times of living a life of lies.
33:02And yet, you're not actually a Prynne, are you?
33:06Is this true?
33:11So you knew I wasn't who I was all along?
33:15I'm literally one of the smartest people in the world.
33:18It wasn't hard to figure it out.
33:21Sign the divorce papers.
33:23Let's end this.
33:24I'll need time, of course, to review these and ensure the proper elements are all in order.
33:30Property and asset division.
33:33Deaths and liabilities.
33:35Spousal support.
33:36What are you saying?
33:38You're rich, right?
33:39I forgive you for everything.
33:41We can work through this.
33:43For the children.
33:45You really had everyone fooled.
33:47The secret to a great relationship is maintaining curiosity.
33:51And I'll be damned if I am not curious as to where this is all going.
33:55I agree.
33:56I am curious, too.
33:58What kind of a mentor to your son would I be if I didn't help his parents find a way
34:03to stay together?
34:04What are you doing?
34:05This isn't right.
34:07You said you wanted this, too.
34:09If you insist, I guess we'll just have to split your assets in half.
34:14You're not getting a single cent from my family.
34:17I don't make the laws.
34:20I just follow them.
34:21You cheated.
34:22Legally, you leave with nothing.
34:25Cheated?
34:26I've always been upfront and honest.
34:28You're the one with the secret family and different names.
34:32Do you really want to play this out in court?
34:34You're lucky I'm only asking for half.
34:37Fine.
34:39You want evidence?
34:45Are you sure you want to do this?
34:51This medical report proves that Scarlet is pregnant.
34:54Five weeks, six days.
34:56You two are about to have a child.
34:58And you're still pretending to be strangers.
35:03Fake news.
35:05This is clearly AI.
35:07That doesn't even look like me.
35:09Feels pretty real to me.
35:11You've always wanted to be famous, Scarlet.
35:14How do you like it now?
35:15Ugh.
35:16I can't believe he did it with his son's mentor.
35:20Sign the divorce papers.
35:22Now.
35:25You are despicable.
35:27I won't sign this.
35:29Oh.
35:30So you are willing to let Scarlet's baby grow up as a bastard?
35:36Tristan, maybe we should sign.
35:39Ryder is our future.
35:41We have a...
35:43A lot to think about here.
35:45Ryder's mind is worth more than her inheritance.
35:48She's right.
35:49I can't keep begging her like this.
35:51Ryder can make twice more money than what her family has.
35:55We'll see.
36:01I didn't know Sophia could be so ruthless.
36:04How did she even find out about you embezzling money from your company?
36:07I don't know.
36:09I had to give my lawyer everything I owned to just stay out of jail.
36:14What about Ryder now?
36:16Who will take care of him?
36:18Where's your mother?
36:19She left the moment we moved to this house.
36:23Ryder's violin is worth at least $300,000.
36:26We can buy him a new one once we're back on our feet.
36:30Sell it.
36:31Sell it yourself.
36:39Do you like this piano, Mia?
36:41I love it, Mom.
36:43But it's too costly.
36:45I want to be the world's best pianist.
36:48I won't let you down.
36:49But I don't need fancy things.
36:53Ryder, do you want to play your latest consorto for your sister?
36:56I think she may prefer songs played on a kazoo.
36:59I'd hate to overstimulate her fragile body or...
37:03Risk upsetting the delicate blood type of hers with anything too sophisticated.
37:09That's the violin I bought for Ryder.
37:11It was imported from Germany and is considered one of the finest violins ever made.
37:19Are you crazy?
37:21Do you even know how much it costs?
37:23It doesn't matter.
37:25You better compensate me for this.
37:27Or I'll call the police.
37:29Did you forget that I bought it?
37:30I have the receipt to prove it.
37:32What about you?
37:33You can see it clearly now, don't you?
37:36Without me, you can't even survive.
37:48Your new boyfriend is quite the violent man.
37:50I'd be careful if I were you.
37:51Remember, you are setting an example for that young daughter of yours.
37:56Thank you, Lucas.
37:59Mr. Lucas, you are a smart man.
38:02May I ask you a question?
38:04Of course, Mia.
38:05What is it?
38:05My brother is smart.
38:07Very smart.
38:08Do you think if I work hard I could be that smart too?
38:10You are already a smart girl, darling.
38:13In many ways smarter than your brother already.
38:15But more importantly than being a smart girl, I want you to be a happy girl.
38:19Mia, you're amazing.
38:20I have every confidence your mother will give you everything you need to be happy in this life.
38:28I am not sure this is a good idea.
38:30Do you have a better idea?
38:32Ryder is her son.
38:36Why are you sneaking around in front of my house?
38:39Your son can't afford his school and he needs money so he can continue on his path.
38:42So that's why you're here?
38:44You need me?
38:46Are you that desperate?
38:48You must be.
38:53I am pretty sure Ryder made it clear he'd prefer it if Scarlet was his mother.
38:58Scarlet, can you please Lundez to money for their schooling?
39:02Heartless, bitch.
39:04Once Ryder completes his dissertation, he'll have offers from all the biggest companies in the world.
39:09We don't need you or your money.
39:11Nothing would bring me greater joy and to see my children happy and successful.
39:15Let's go.
39:16Let's go.
39:28Mom, look.
39:29Straight A's again.
39:30She's remarkable.
39:31She's almost finished the high school curriculum.
39:34This would be three full weeks earlier than her brother did it.
39:37Mia, you are doing so well.
39:38Would you want to take the university entrance exams and consider some bigger paths?
39:42Yes.
39:43I want to be like Mommy.
39:45I want to make her proud.
39:47You already do, my darling, every day.
39:49How shall we celebrate your straight A's today?
39:54I want both of you to kiss me at the same time, and maybe some ice cream.
40:10I knew it.
40:12I knew you both liked each other.
40:14You little rascal.
40:18Hey, Mia, be careful.
40:20I adore our little girl.
40:21What did you say?
40:23Ah, nothing.
40:24Just saying what a great kid she is.
40:26I overheard you talking to your father on the phone earlier.
40:28Is everything okay?
40:29He is getting old.
40:30He wants me to take over the company.
40:33I am just not sure where to start.
40:34I've been focused on my family and children for so long.
40:37This phone contains the numbers of venture capitalists, strategists.
40:40They will all be more than happy to guide you.
40:43Lucas, thank you.
40:44Your happiness will always be what is most important to me.
40:47Why have I rejected him all of these years?
40:50He's always been the one person who truly cared about me.
40:53After Mia goes to bed, would you walk with me tonight?
40:56I'd love to get some fresh air and see the stars.
40:59I'd like that too.
41:05These aren't so bad, are they?
41:07Pretty cheap and fresh.
41:10Look, is that Ivy?
41:11Let's go check it out.
41:15Well, well.
41:16Out all alone celebrating yourself with candles and flowers?
41:19No, you're not batshit crazy at all.
41:22I knew it.
41:23You love yourself so much you've decided to make it official
41:26and confess you are deeply in love with you and only you.
41:31Ivy.
41:37I have found a way to love myself again.
41:40And in doing so, I've finally opened up to having others love me for who I really am.
41:48You gotta be careful around men looking for sloppy seconds.
41:51And women who do the same?
41:53You bitch!
41:54The ink isn't even dry on our divorce papers and you're already seeing someone else?
41:58You are such an ignorant hypocrite!
42:03Ivy.
42:04I know these Ecuadorian roses are your favorite.
42:07I had them shipped in from Paris.
42:09That is so thoughtful.
42:10I do like occasionally like to indulge in the finer things in life.
42:17Do you really think this whatever he is supposed to be can make you happy?
42:21I guess he'll have an easier time now that I've loosened you up for him.
42:27Nobody speaks to her like that.
42:29Ow!
42:29See, I told you he was violent!
42:32Stop it!
42:33Stop fighting!
42:41I'm bleeding!
42:51I'm bleeding!
42:59How is she?
43:00She's going to be okay.
43:02But I'm very sorry we couldn't save the baby.
43:12You killed our child!
43:24Scarlet, I'm heartbroken too.
43:26But it was an accident.
43:28It doesn't matter if you did it on purpose or not.
43:31It's all your fault!
43:34Scarlet, the one who should really be blamed is Ivy.
43:37If she hadn't pushed me, would things have turned physical?
43:39Stop blaming her for everything.
43:41This is 100% on you.
43:42You are always running from responsibility.
43:46How did I not see you were a terrible father?
43:48How you've already abandoned your daughter and now our baby.
43:51The baby didn't even have a name.
43:52You weren't even in your second trimester.
43:54I am sad too, but we can make another one.
43:56And the child we need to focus on most is still Ryder.
44:02I swear you love that child more than you've loved any woman.
44:07I apologize if I've ever given anyone the impression otherwise.
44:11Ryder is your child with Ivy.
44:13I wanted one that was our own!
44:15So you've never considered Ryder your son at all?
44:19I have always loved that child like my own.
44:22But no matter what you do, he'll always be a reminder of her.
44:33Why do I feel like you didn't have running into Tristan and Scarlet on your bingo card when you were
44:37planning this night?
44:40I feel like you've always been there for me when I need you most.
44:43Ivy.
44:45I want to always be there for you when you need me most.
44:48You really went all out with the flowers tonight.
44:51Ivy.
44:53I want us to be together.
44:57I have two children with a nightmare of a father.
45:00I've been dismissive of my potential.
45:02I think you've always been exactly who you needed to be at the time.
45:06Nothing about what I've done, the choices I've made, the life I've created should appeal to you.
45:11Ivy, every ounce of your essence appeals to me.
45:15That wouldn't be fair to you.
45:16Hiding my feelings and not asserting myself earlier is what has been unfair to me.
45:20And you.
45:21Lucas.
45:22I've been so focused on being a mother, being a wife.
45:25I've stopped focusing on what it also means to be me.
45:28I'm not sure I'm ready to start a new relationship.
45:30I wouldn't want to lose myself again.
45:32I wouldn't ever want any version of you that wasn't the most truthful and self-loving version of yourself.
45:37I'm not worthy of you right now.
45:39Right now, I'm in a place where I've needed you to save me countless times.
45:43I like being there for you.
45:45And for this to ever work, I need to know I can be there for you and my children too.
45:49Ivy.
45:51I've waited for this for a long time.
45:52And I'd spend the rest of my days waiting if that's what it takes.
45:55I want us to be together.
45:56But when you're ready, and never sooner nor a minute later.
46:03You lost our house.
46:05You lost our baby.
46:06And now you can't even find the remote control.
46:08Kristen, are you here just to make my life even harder?
46:11I've given up everything for you.
46:12In fact, your pregnancy fast-tracked my divorce to Ivy.
46:15You were going to leave her anyway.
46:18Why do you keep bringing her up?
46:19Do you want her back?
46:20Is that it?
46:26Shut up, both of you.
46:28Stop fighting.
46:30All right.
46:31We'll stop fighting.
46:33As you can see, we are all willing to invest everything we have in you, my son.
46:37You are our future.
46:38You are the future for all of us.
46:42Ryder, sweetheart, we are all counting on you.
46:44This upcoming American Scholarship Program is a chance to show that ungrateful mother of yours how great you truly are.
46:50Do well there, and we will live a life that none of us have even imagined.
46:59Today is the day we announce the results of the qualifying tests for the American Scholarship Program.
47:08Welcome, everyone.
47:12If you will turn your attention to the main aisle, you will see one of this year's top participants, Ryder
47:17Miller.
47:18He is always impressive, and we all predict him to be at the top when the results are announced.
47:24I could get used to this.
47:28This is just the beginning.
47:30Once Ryder's results are announced, this will be our daily life.
47:34Today, we are also honored to welcome a very special guest.
47:38She is the founder of this amazing program and one of the sharpest minds of our time, Dr. Ivy Wright.
47:57An interesting development in recent weeks is that Dr. Wright has both of her children, her son Ryder and her
48:04daughter Mia, compete in the exams one week ago.
48:07What a joke.
48:10Really?
48:11This is why DEI programs don't work.
48:14What a joke.
48:15Is she going to fill out her forms in crayon?
48:18Unbelievable.
48:20Is this some make-a-wish thing?
48:23Everyone is here for Ryder.
48:25Why do you insist on embarrassing yourself and our children?
48:30Wrong.
48:32Everyone is here to see the new candidates who are selected in the American Scholarship Program.
48:39I just hope your Ryder can keep up with all this pressure.
48:42I think Ryder is going to be fine.
48:45Once the results confirm Ryder as the top candidate, do not try to steal his spotlight with all of the
48:52I'm his mommy nonsense.
48:53This is his day, not yours.
48:56If your intellect matched your overconfidence, you might actually be dangerous.
49:01I love how you never let facts or reality get in the way of your opinions.
49:05It's actually quite fascinating.
49:07Ladies and gentlemen, if everyone could please take their seats.
49:10We will shortly be announcing the results of this year's competition.
49:15Should Ryder sit with us or up there with you?
49:19What makes more sense so it is easiest for him to make his speech?
49:27The results for Ryder Miller.
49:35In the math event, five points.
49:40In the literature event, five points.
49:44And five points in the languages event.
49:50Together with the remaining events, Ryder has scored a total of 20 points.
49:55Ryder would unfortunately be disqualified from the program.
49:59That's impossible.
50:01You must have the wrong name on the forms.
50:04Ryder is a child prodigy.
50:06Ouch.
50:08Feels a little low.
50:11Even for Ryder.
50:12You've been a distraction and likely the reason he couldn't focus.
50:15And now the results for Mia Miller.
50:17She has scored 150 points in the max event.
50:19A perfect score.
50:21150 points in literature and 150 points in languages.
50:29That is a record which will never be broken.
50:31I'm not sure her own mother would have scored that high.
50:37Dr. Right.
50:38Mia's results were off the charts.
50:41Mr. Miller, you must be so proud of your daughter.
50:45Sure, Ryder didn't fare as well as anyone thought, but...
50:50I can't let this end like this.
50:53You...
50:55You have all been kept in the dark!
50:58I can't believe it.
50:59There have been things clearly kept from you!
51:05Mr. Miller, what exactly is it that you are trying to say?
51:08Is there a reason why Ryder scored so low?
51:11Ryder Miller, the biological son of Dr. Ivy Wright,
51:14was so traumatized by his mother's infidelities and abandonment,
51:17he was competing in these events under incredible duress.
51:21She has taunted him in recent weeks,
51:23parading around with her scandalous boyfriend,
51:26and routinely abandoning him.
51:28No, you left me.
51:31You cheated on me.
51:33I did nothing wrong.
51:34You never have taken any accountability for anything, have you?
51:39You even pretended to be someone else.
51:42To trick me into marrying you?
51:44You, my son,
51:47deserves another chance.
51:48She took everything from us.
51:52Ryder and I were left with nothing.
51:55He's just a child.
51:57What kind of kid could survive that level of humiliation?
52:00These are all lies!
52:01Is that right?
52:04Sofia?
52:05Or is it Ivy?
52:07Are you even able to keep it straight?
52:09You have convinced Ryder I am his enemy for years now.
52:14You give me too much credit.
52:17Is there any child who doesn't want his mother?
52:20Tristan Miller.
52:22I thought I warned you about this already.
52:27Right on schedule.
52:29This is the man who has destroyed our family
52:32and helped Ryder's mother to crush his future.
52:34And what is your connection to the Miller family?
52:37How do you know Dr. Right?
52:39Are you really her lover?
52:41Yes.
52:42But this is all recent.
52:44After Ivy divorced her husband,
52:46after we found him cheating on her with Miss Scarlet here.
52:50Liar!
52:51We've all seen the video, Tristan.
52:53Your lies end today.
52:56You did everything in your power to make me leave.
52:59And every time I tried to protect our children from our lies,
53:02you turned them against me.
53:04You made my own child.
53:07My son wished he could be raised by another woman.
53:13Ryder?
53:14How do you feel about all of this?
53:16Do you feel your mother abandoned you?
53:19I don't like that woman.
53:21I prefer Miss Prinin.
53:23She's been more of a mother to me than anyone else in this world.
53:27She's always been more like a mother than a tutor to me.
53:29When my father would take me to academic camps,
53:32she'd find a way to be there.
53:34Even when my own mother wasn't there.
53:36She would even save my family money on these trips
53:40by sleeping in the same bed as my father,
53:42so we didn't need a second room.
53:45The boy is confused.
53:47I did not sleep in the same bed as his father.
53:51Why would you say that?
53:53My son is a genius.
53:55But his road has not been easy.
53:57He was raised by a mother who spins webs of lies
53:59and can't always tell facts from fiction.
54:02As you can see, her deceptive ways continue to haunt the poor boy.
54:07She's jealous of her son.
54:10She tried to hide who she was,
54:12and now she's trying to hide who he can be.
54:14This is a pattern.
54:16Nobody is buying any of this, Tristan.
54:18Good.
54:19Because I am not selling anything.
54:21I am just stating facts.
54:23In some parts of this world,
54:24things like the truth and honesty still mean something.
54:27I couldn't agree more.
54:33Isn't that Mr. Baker?
54:35Ryder's sponsor?
54:36Didn't he fund the kids' training and examination charges?
54:39I am glad you are here, Mr. Baker.
54:41Are you sure?
54:43There have been some concerns raised about ethics and trust of this program, sir.
54:47Really?
54:48You are the one to talk about ethics?
54:52I didn't catch it at first.
54:54In fact, I didn't catch it at all.
54:56It was Professors Seton, Myers, and Durden who brought it to my attention.
55:01I don't understand.
55:02While you are undoubtedly one of the least intelligent people in this room,
55:06I highly suspect this is something you do actually understand.
55:09Do you remember why I agreed to sponsor your son?
55:13It was because of his scores in the last three qualifying exams.
55:16There were three qualifying tests in the last month.
55:20That your son passed with flying colors before he could appear for this exam.
55:26Turns out you faked your son's grades in all the three exams.
55:31And did a convincing job that even fooled me.
55:34Are you saying Ryder's test results were faked?
55:37So this has all been a deceptive ploy.
55:39I poured a lot of money into your son.
55:42You had me convinced.
55:44This young man was a path to a promising future for all of us.
55:49Mr. Baker, this is all a misunderstanding.
55:53This is the contract you signed.
55:57I think you know where this is going.
56:04What is it?
56:06According to this contract, if you were to breach its terms, or in other words, if you were to commit
56:13fraud, you would owe me a compensation of $40 million.
56:17I don't have that kind of money.
56:20You better find it, as the alternative is much worse.
56:24How did you let this happen?
56:26Me?
56:27You're the one who said nobody would ever find out.
56:30That's the problem with trying to outsmart people smarter than you.
56:33If either of you were smarter, you'd have realized how dumb your plan was.
56:37I hate you.
56:38Don't be angry, Mom.
56:40Mom?
56:40I am not your mom.
56:42Get lost.
56:44I hate you too.
56:45I hate all of you.
56:49If you don't give me an answer here, Mr. Miller, I am afraid I will have to call the authorities
56:55and make this a criminal matter.
57:00Ivy, please, for the boy.
57:05This isn't Ryder's debt or fault.
57:08This is on you.
57:09What you have done has violated not only our vows, but your responsibility to your children.
57:16And quite simply, the law.
57:19I am so, so sorry.
57:26You are going to jail for a long time, Tristan.
57:30And without you, Ryder will go to a foster home.
57:34I hope this is the last time I am ever seeing you.
57:37Goodbye forever to both of you.
57:44Stop filming me!
57:50The first prize in today's piano competition goes to Mia Wright.
57:55It's hard to believe such a big, powerful, and beautiful sound came from the small and delicate little body.
58:02You know her mother is Dr. Ivy Wright, yes?
58:06I want to invite my mom onto the stage.
58:09This honor, I want to give it to her.
58:18Thank you, my sweetheart.
58:19I love you, mommy.
58:22And I love you, sweetie.
58:24I am so proud of you.
58:26Look at the screen!
58:34I've waited all these years, and I agree with Mia.
58:38You do take good care of all of us.
58:41Ivy...
58:43Will you marry me?
58:44Say yes!
58:46Say yes!
58:47Say yes!
58:50What do you think, honey?
58:51I will.
59:08I will.
59:09That's what I think.
59:15I will.
