Short filmTranscript
00:07Congratulations Dr. Ivy Wright. A generational talent. At 18 years old, she earned her Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard.
00:17Five years ago, I went by my birth name Ivy Wright, a celebrated mathematician.
00:30Ivy, this is for you. So what's next in life of a genius mathematician?
00:37Thanks, Lucas. Well, I met someone this past summer. It was so freeing, so different. He saw me as a
00:47normal woman. I didn't have to speak about my brains or the family I come from.
00:51Are you sure? You just got your Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard.
00:56You know, math has always been easy for me, but the life I've been living, it's quite empty. All this
01:02recognition feels like a burden.
01:06I want a family, Lucas. I am not sure I can ever have that if I am always living in
01:11the shadow of Ivy Wright.
01:12You're not in the shadow of Ivy Wright. You are Ivy Wright.
01:19I know. But I want to fall in love, get married, and live a simple happy life.
01:29Ironically, the life of academia I tried to leave behind has found me once more through my son.
01:35Ryder, at the age five, is ranked highest in International Math Olympiad.
01:41What's it like living with a generational genius?
01:43In everyone's eyes, I am just a simple housewife. I just hope this pressure is easier on my son than
01:49it was on me.
01:51Ryder, who do you credit most for your incredible intellect?
01:58Ouch!
01:58Hey!
02:00The kid? He bit his mom? Did you see that?
02:06I want to thank my dad and my mentor, Ms. Prennan.
02:10I have inherited my dad's incredible genes, and I am grateful for the guidance I got from this scarlet print.
02:21Everyone hungry?
02:28Ms. Prennan, you can join us too.
02:38Come on, Sophia, let's not be selfish. This is Ryder's day. Let him sit with his father and tutor to
02:45enjoy the moment.
02:46You two can eat the leftovers after we are done.
02:52Why is everyone being mean?
02:56This is a special day for Ryder. They are just caught up in the excitement.
03:02More!
03:04You've worked up quite an appetite.
03:06Let his sister do it. Her brother is a genius and will change all of our fortunes.
03:12And it would be better for Nia to learn all this at a young age.
03:16Yes, Grandma.
03:19Ryder!
03:21Why are you yelling at Ryder?
03:23Nia is the Kludds who dropped the bowl.
03:26This mess isn't going to clean itself.
03:29Ryder, I'm your mother.
03:31Who taught you to behave like this?
03:33It's a joke.
03:35Lighten up.

08:39Lucas
08:41do you want a break
08:42i can sit with Mia
08:43no no
08:45the doctors told me you're responsible for tracking down a blood donor for Mia
08:49turns out
08:50AB negative is
08:52super rare
08:54but it's something Mia and i have in common
08:56how can i ever repay you
08:58don't be like that
09:00i am always happy to help
09:02i heard what happened with Tristan and Ryder
09:04how could they leave like that
09:06without even caring about Mia
09:08you deserve more
09:10does he even care
09:16maybe he still cares deep down after all
09:19Lucas
09:20i need to take Mia home after this
09:23of course
09:25i'll drive you home
09:40what are you doing
09:46what were you doing
09:49aren't you ashamed
09:51do you want to sleep with him
09:53enough
09:59Tristan
10:00why did you call me home
10:01if you were only going to insult me with this
10:04i called you because the dishes aren't going to clean by themselves
10:08and tomorrow we are throwing Ryder a party
10:11and we invited some prestigious guests including Dr. Wright
10:15who has apparently come out of her reclusive shell for this event
10:21it's important that we all play nice for Ryder's benefit and future
10:25if things go well
10:26who knows
10:28perhaps Dr. Wright may even consider taking our son on as her student
10:31since you are so busy planning Ryder's party by sleeping with her
10:35you might not have found the time to ask about your daughter
10:38Mia
10:40we were able to find a donor
10:43she is waiting downstairs in the car to see her father
10:46i knew she'd be all right
10:48you're always overreacting
10:50what makes you think Dr. Wright would work with Ryder
10:53you don't even know Dr. Wright
10:55trust me
10:57i know Dr. Wright
10:58you do
11:00well i know her type
11:01believe me she'll want to work with Ryder
11:03but i am not sure how'd she feel about you
11:06on that we may agree
11:08i am not sure Dr. Wright would even know who i am at all
11:11you were so different when we met
11:14as soon as we had kids you ignored me and they become your focus
11:17and once i focused more on the kids you became jealous and so bitchy
11:22kid
11:23kid
11:25you only focused on Ryder
11:27that too after i proved he had the intellect to become a genius
11:32you always acted like Mia was never born
11:35did you ever really love us
11:41fine
11:43if that's how it is then
11:44i want a divorce
11:46a divorce
11:48how will you live
11:48everything you have everything you are is because of me
11:52there would be no Sophia Miller if it weren't for me
11:55you're right
11:56you are the reason Sophie Miller exists
11:59so let's relieve you and the world from this burden
12:03take back the things you gave to give her life
12:09this cheap cardigan
12:10i know it's a knockoff
12:12and these pearls
12:15you bought your mother gold
12:17and gave your own wife plastic
12:21are you finished
12:23no but we are
12:34i'm leaving you
12:36we're done
12:37my feelings for you made me blind to who you really are
12:40they made me blind to who i really am
12:42i'm leaving you
12:52ah now i get it
12:54you found yourself a new man
12:56and all of a sudden you want to divorce me
13:00mind your words
13:01god Tristan
13:03not everyone is a cheater like you
13:05we are done here
13:07my lawyers will contact you for the proceedings
13:16look Ryder your mom is leaving you
13:18since when are you so concerned about me
13:20enough with this nonsense
13:22get lost already
13:23where are you going
13:25are you abandoning your family
13:27Ryder you are welcome to join us
13:30what kind of life would that be
13:31do you really think you are everything you are without what i've shared with you
13:35miss Prynne has been more than a mother to me than you ever were
13:39who are you
13:41you're nothing
13:42do you know about the things i sacrificed to have you
13:47who knows in another life i may have been a dr ivy wright
13:52more like dr wrong than dr right
13:54so true
13:56we are done here
13:58i'll have the divorce papers drawn up tomorrow
14:03sofia's threats of divorce are going to completely steal focus from ryder's party tomorrow
14:07perhaps there is another way to frame this
14:09the tragic devoted single father raising his genius child on his own
14:14maybe you'll become a bigger part of ryder's story
14:22smart and sexy
14:24perhaps we don't need to play the single father a bit longer than we have to
14:41welcome home is right
14:50welcome home is right
14:52your parents are in a major project meeting with investors
14:56i know they are excited to see you they just need a moment
14:59no project is more important than my daughter
15:10i'm sorry
15:13we're just glad you're back ivy
15:16or do you prefer sophia either way it's good to have you home
15:20we've respectfully kept our distance as per your requests
15:24but i am not sure we can let these recent transactions by your soon-to-be ex-husband go unnoticed
15:30it looks like lucas has stood by you whenever you had trouble
15:34and sophia
15:36i will always be here for you
15:38i am not even sure who i am anymore
15:43am i still the same ivy wright
15:46do i still have that within me
15:47you have always been ivy wright
15:50even when others called you by another name
15:53my children my community
15:56nobody knows me as ivy wright
15:59then perhaps it's time we reintroduced
16:04dr ivy wright to the world
16:14i've been someone else for too long
16:15welcome back ivy wright
16:21thank you honored guests
16:23members of the press and all of ryder's friends and champions
16:27i'm just a single father who worked hard to raise my child
16:31mr miller you mentioned you're a single father
16:34may we ask what happened to ryder's mother
16:37the invitation to today's event mentioned ryder's parents
16:40my son grew up without a mother's love
16:43she was never really there for us
16:45but let's not focus on her
16:47today is ryder's day and a day of celebration
16:55and ryder has always had strong maternal guidance from his mentor
17:00and our dear friend scarlet prinin
17:04dear friend hardly feels descriptive enough
17:07as scarlet has been more like a mother to ryder
17:09we've always considered her a member of the family
17:19ryder has completed his early education
17:21and will be able to officially graduate high school within three weeks
17:26he will immediately engage in the process of his university entrance exams
17:31anything you wish to share with those watching on our live stream now
17:35does ryder intend on signing endorsement deals
17:38in good time my friends
17:40ryder is entertaining numerous offers
17:42he is on pace to enter university as the youngest student since dr ivy wright
17:47how does that make you feel
17:49yes dr wright earned her harvard phd at 18
17:52an iq over 230 she holds three guinness book of world records
17:56a living legend
17:58assuming she's still alive

18:03everyone please calm down
18:05as a surprise we've been in contact with some of dr wright's associates
18:09and she is going to be making a surprise appearance today at ryder's event
18:17i've just received a word she'll be here shortly to congratulate my son

24:58best nanny is that who i am to you look the director of mit dr andrew roley is here this
25:07day is supposed
25:08to be about ryder perhaps director roley can help us all get back to where our focus should be
25:14leave this to me
25:18he is the director of mit dr andrew roley do you know how big of a deal it is for
25:22us to have him here
25:24he must come to scout ryder for the national youth academic program if ryder is selected for that
25:28program then he is set for life i'll make sure he is impressed by ryder
25:35hello you are dr andrew roley yes with your busy schedule we weren't sure if you could make it here
25:43are you saying you were hoping i would not come no no no that's not what i meant
25:50look everyone here is happier and everything shines brighter with your presence thank you for coming
26:02director you must be thirsty after your journey here there's champagne over there may i pour you a
26:08glass get out of my way please go bother someone else dr wright it is so great to see you
26:15thanks to
26:16you the national youth academics program at mit has produced many bona fide geniuses i'm i'm sorry do you
26:22you two know each other they must have met at a parent meeting please dr roley it is kind of
26:29you
26:29to assume the child's mother had something to do with the incredible accomplishments ryder has achieved
26:33at such an early age but i assure you why are you still here
26:40i mean no disrespect director roley but you are only here because we invited you how dare you
26:49i am only here because of dr wright without her there wouldn't even be a national youth academics
26:55program at mit this was created for her for her by her somebody please assure me this woman
27:09is not connected to this young man's development director roley ryder was nurtured at every step by me
27:17we are all here today because of the work he and i did together you think you offered more to
27:21this
27:22day than the boy's own mother a woman with an academic reputation that has the sharpest minds in
27:28the country gathered to meet her child you have it all wrong she has spent all of her time trying
27:35to
27:36coddle and soft the boy i am the one who has honed in on his intellectual side that woman may
27:42be the
27:42world's greatest con artist but i can assure you she isn't an intellectual she's a moron
27:47why do sounds keep exploding from your mouth when you never offer anything valuable to a conversation
27:54and like that scarlet is speechless i didn't think it was possible you have already proven yourself to be
28:02a master of deception is this how you found favor with the director did you worm your way into his
28:10bed
28:13is that the only play in your playbook
28:19apologize now she looks like she's in good hands weird to see a man hold his child teacher closer and
28:27with more affection than he's ever held his own wife i must say that closeness feels a scooch more
28:33intimate than parent teacher are they having an affair nonsense i'm ryder's teacher true i care for
28:42the miller family like they are my own but these accusations are just rumors sure we'll all believe
28:48you more than what we just saw with our own eyes didn't you like messing around with him well he's
28:55all
28:55yours now here you want to embarrass me in front of everyone you embarrass yourself you say i've been
29:07living a lie look in the mirror you hypocrite stop pretending she's your girl and just go public with
29:13your relationship sure it's less scandalous but she's probably still fun all the same no i am ryder's
29:20teacher he is my focus your problems with keeping your husband happy are your problems alone why don't
29:27you let me focus on ryder and you can try focusing on your husband for five minutes in this life
29:33ryder is
29:34my son you don't need to worry about him do you think he'd come to you or me if we
29:41both held out our
29:42hand right now it's normal for a boy to want to impress his father tristan has taken advantage of
29:48that for his own selfish needs but i can help ryder get back on the right path ryder would you
29:56like to
29:56live with me with mia i only want the best for you you are my son i hate being your
30:05son
30:06i don't want to live with you i want miss prin to be my mother not you you are a
30:13liar and poor and
30:15ryder i'm not poor i come from a very wealthy family i just didn't want you to have to face
30:20the
30:20pressures i faced with that name if you are rich then i hate you for keeping this from me and
30:24living
30:24a lie if you are poor you are lying to me now either way your wish i came from anyone
30:30else but you
30:31if you did love me you'd die and disappear so i could move on to a better life did you
30:36hear that
30:38ivy if you truly love ryder then leave him the hell alone i hate you i hate you my own
30:46son
30:48sees me as his enemy
30:54fine then ryder as per your wishes i will no longer consider you my son
31:00oh no how will ryder ever survive without you once upon a time these people may have looked at your
31:07intellect as something to be admired but i assure you everyone will forget who you are when they
31:13see what i am capable of you may have my brain for mathematics languages and music but you are
31:20definitely your father's son when it comes to empty bluster and spiteful verbal diarrhea
31:26my apologies andrew i fear we've wasted your time while ryder has shown great promise in certain
31:32areas i fear he's a product of both his mother and father and he doesn't have the social skills or
31:37humanity worthy of this program i believe it would be best for the program to choose another prodigy
31:44as you wish what the actual phu director roley you must be mistaken
31:51sophia ivy i don't know what to call her anymore is deceptive and has been misleading people all of
31:57her life you claim to value academia above all else and yet you never realized you were married to
32:04the smartest woman of our time and that she is also the only child of isaac and diana wright
32:16who do you think sponsors our program you are hosting an event for the smartest and wealthiest people
32:24in the nation and you don't even know who any of them are miss prinin you have accused me numerous
32:31times of living a life of lies and yet you're not actually a prinny are you is this true
32:41so you knew i wasn't who i was all along i'm literally one of the smartest people in the world
32:49wasn't hard to figure it out sign the divorce papers let's end this i'll need time of course

33:04liabilities spousal support what are you saying you're rich right i forgive you for everything

33:18relationship is maintaining curiosity and i'll be damned if i am not curious as to where this is all

33:31didn't help his parents
33:32find a way to stay together what are you doing this isn't right you said you wanted this too if
33:40you

42:46scarlet i'm heartbroken too it was an accident it doesn't matter if you did it on purpose or not
42:54it's all your fault
42:57scarlet the one who should really be blamed is ivy if she hadn't pushed me would things have turned
43:01physical stop blaming her for everything this is a hundred percent on you you are always running
43:06from responsibility how did i not see you were a terrible father how you've already abandoned your
43:12daughter and now our baby the baby didn't even have a name you weren't even in your second trimester
43:17i am sad too but we can make another one and the child we need to focus on most is
43:21still ryder
43:24i swear you love that child more than you've loved any woman
43:30i apologize if i've ever given anyone the impression otherwise
43:33ryder is your child with ivy i wanted one that was our own
43:38so you've never considered ryder your son at all
43:42i have always loved that child like my own but no matter what you do he'll always be a reminder
43:47of her
43:55why do i feel like you didn't have running into tristan and scarlet on your bingo card when you
43:59were planning this night i feel like you've always been there for me when i need you most ivy
44:07i want to always be there for you when you need me most you really went all out with the
44:12flowers
44:12tonight ivy i want us to be together i have two children with a nightmare of a father i've been
44:22dismissive of my potential i think you've always been exactly who you needed to be at the time
44:27nothing about what i've done the choices i've made the life i've created should appeal to you ivy
44:33every ounce of your essence appeals to me that wouldn't be fair to you hiding my feelings and
44:39not asserting myself earlier is what has been unfair to me and you lucas i've been so focused
44:45on being a mother being a wife i've stopped focusing on what it also means to be me i'm not
44:50sure i am ready to start a new relationship i wouldn't want to lose myself again i wouldn't ever
44:54want any version of you that wasn't the most truthful and self-loving version of yourself
44:58i'm not worthy of you right now right now i'm in a place where i've needed you to save me
45:03countless
45:03times i like being there for you and for this to ever work i need to know i can be
45:08there for you
45:09and my children too ivy i've waited for this for a long time and i'd spend the rest of my
45:15days waiting
45:15that's what it takes i want us to be together but when you're ready and never sooner nor a minute
45:19later you lost our house you lost our baby and now can't even find the remote control pristan are you
45:30here just to make my life even harder i've given up everything for you in fact your pregnancy fast
45:35tracked my divorce to idy you were gonna leave her anyway why do you keep bringing her up do you
45:41want
45:41her back is that it shut up both of you stop fighting all right we'll stop fighting as you
45:54can see we are all willing to invest everything we have in you my son you are our future you
46:00are the
46:00future for all of us writer sweetheart we are all counting on you this upcoming american scholarship
46:07program is a chance to show that ungrateful mother of yours how great you truly are
46:11do well there and we will live a life that none of us have even imagined
46:20today is the day we announce the results of the qualifying tests
46:24for the american scholarship program welcome everyone
46:33if you will turn your attention to the main aisle you will see one of this year's top
46:37participants ryder miller he is always impressive and we all predict him to be at the top when the
46:42results are announced i could get used to this
46:48this is just the beginning once ryder's results are announced this will be our daily life
46:54today we are also honored to welcome a very special guest she is the founder of this amazing program and
47:01one of the sharpest minds of our time dr ivy wright
47:17an interesting development in recent weeks is that dr wright has both of her children her son ryder and
47:24her daughter mia compete in the exams one week ago mia really this is why dei programs don't work
47:34what a joke is she gonna fill out her forms in crayon unbelievable is this some make-a-wish thing
47:43everyone is here for ryder why do you insist on embarrassing yourself and our children wrong
47:52everyone is here to see the new candidates who are selected in the american scholarship program
47:58i just hope your ryder can keep up with all this pressure i think ryder is going to be fine
48:05once the results confirm ryder as the top candidate do not try to steal his spotlight with all of the
48:12i'm his mommy nonsense this is his day not yours if your intellect matched your overconfidence you might
48:18actually be dangerous i love how you never let facts or reality get in the way of your opinions
48:24it's actually quite fascinating ladies and gentlemen if everyone could please take their seats we will
48:30shortly be announcing the results of this year's competition should ryder sit with us or up there with
48:36you what makes more sense so it is easiest for him to make his speech
48:49the results for ryder miller
48:57in the math event five points in the literature event five points and five points in the languages event
49:11together with the remaining events ryder has scored a total of 20 points ryder would unfortunately be
49:18disqualified from the program that's impossible you must have the wrong name on the forms ryder is a
49:27child prodigy ouch feels a little low even for ryder you've been a distraction and likely the reason he
49:35couldn't focus and now the results from mia miller she has scored 150 points in the next event a perfect
49:41score 150 points in literature and 150 points in languages
49:50that is a record which will never be broken i'm not sure her own mother would have scored that high
49:57dr right mea's results were off the charts mr miller you must be so proud of your daughter
50:06sure ryder didn't fare as well as anyone thought but i can't let this end like this
50:14you you have all been kept in the dark i can't believe it there have been things clearly kept from
50:22you
50:25mr miller what exactly is it that you are trying to say is there a reason why ryder scored so
50:30low
50:30ryder miller the biological son of dr ivy wright was so traumatized by his mother's
50:35infidelities and abandonment he was competing in these events under incredible duress she has
50:42taunted him in recent weeks parading around with her scandalous boyfriend and routinely abandoning him
50:48no you left me you cheated on me i did nothing wrong you never have taken any accountability for
50:56anything have you you even pretended to be someone else to trick me into marrying you my son
51:06deserves another chance she took everything from us
51:12ryder and i were left with nothing he's just a child what kind of kid could survive that level of
51:18humiliation these are all lies is that right sofia or is it ivy are you even able to keep it
51:28straight
51:28you have convinced ryder i am his enemy for years now you give me too much credit
51:36is there any child who doesn't want his mother tristan miller i thought i warned you about this
51:43already right on schedule this is the man who has destroyed our family and helped ryder's mother to
51:52crush his future and what is your connection to the miller family how do you know dr right
51:57are you really her lover yes but this is all recent after ivy divorced her husband after we found him
52:05cheating on her with miss scarlet here liar we've all seen the video tristan your lies end today
52:14you did everything in your power to make me leave and every time i tried to protect our children from
52:20our lies you turned them against me you made my own child my son wish he could be raised by
52:28another woman
52:32ryder how do you feel about all of this do you feel your mother abandoned you
52:37i don't like that woman i prefer miss prinin she's been more of a mother to me than anyone else
52:43in this
52:44world she's always been more like a mother than a tutor to me when my father would take me to
52:48academic
52:49camps she'd find a way to be there even when my own mother wasn't there she would even save my
52:55family
52:56money on these trips by sleeping in the same bed as my father so we didn't need a second room
53:03the boy is confused i did not sleep in the same bed as his father why would you say that
53:10my son is a
53:11genius but his road has not been easy he was raised by a mother who spins webs of lies and
53:17can't always
53:18tell fact from fiction as you can see her deceptive ways continue to haunt the poor boy she's jealous of
53:27her son she tried to hide who she was and now she's trying to hide who he can be this
53:32is a pattern
53:33nobody is buying any of this tristan good because i am not selling anything i am just stating facts
53:40in some parts of this world things like the truth and honesty still mean something i couldn't agree more
53:50isn't that mr baker writer's sponsor didn't he fund the kids training and examination charges
53:56i am glad you are here mr baker are you sure there have been some concerns raised about ethics and
54:02trust of this program sir really you are the one to talk about ethics i didn't catch it at first
54:10in
54:11fact i didn't catch it at all it was professors seaton myers and durden who brought it to my attention
54:17i don't understand while you are undoubtedly one of the least intelligent people in this room
54:22i highly suspect this is something you do actually understand do you remember why i agreed to sponsor
54:28your son it was because of his scores in the last three qualifying exams there were three qualifying
54:34tests in the last month that your son passed with flying colors before he could appear for
54:41this exam turns out you faked your son's grades in all the three exams and did a convincing job that
54:49even fooled me are you saying writer's test results were faked so this has all been a deceptive ploy
54:55i poured a lot of money into your son you had me convinced this young man was a path to
55:02a promising
55:03future for all of us mr baker this is all a misunderstanding
55:09this is the contract you signed
55:13i think you know where this is going
55:19what is it according to this contract if you were to breach its terms or in other words if you
55:27were to commit fraud you would owe me a compensation of 40 million dollars i don't have that kind of
55:34money you better find it as the alternative is much worse how did you let this happen
55:42me you're the one who said nobody would ever find out that's the problem with trying to outsmart
55:46people smarter than you if either of you were smarter you'd have realized how dumb your plan was
55:52i hate you don't be angry mom i am not your mom get lost i hate you too i hate
56:00all of you
56:04if you don't give me an answer here mr miller
56:07i am afraid i will have to call the authorities and make this a criminal matter
56:16ivy please for the boy this isn't ryder's debt or fault this is on you what you have done has
56:25violated
56:26not only our vows but your responsibility to your children and quite simply the law i am so
56:37so sorry
56:41you are going to jail for a long time tristan and without you ryder will go to a foster home
56:49i hope this is the last time i am ever seeing you goodbye forever to both of you
