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.
03:35Why are you always such a buzzkill?
03:39Why are you always like this?
03:39Why why are you always like this?
03:40Why do you remake a wreck of something, just...
03:42why are you so Itu Superb real there?
03:47Because you're hört to see.
03:49They're not enough to be in the wrong place
03:55Why?
03:56Why are you always like a crush?
04:04Why scum is
04:05What happened to me?
04:08Your first woman is like your first daughter.
04:11It's a great job.
04:12I know you're going to see when you're in a place.
04:15That's why no one doesn't keep her first daughter.
04:19And that's what you want to say.
04:21I had no idea you spoke French.
04:24They prove the respect, friend.
04:27Ryder, I am your mother.
04:30Do you really think it's okay to talk?
04:32Why does this thing talk so much?
04:35Candid, shut up.
04:36Come on. Ryder achieved something incredible today.
04:39Let him have his fun. Don't be so fragile.
04:42She's so annoying.
04:44If you are so determined to spoil Ryder's day,
04:46then perhaps you should leave.
04:51Fine. We are leaving.
04:54Tristan, your wife is leaving you.
04:57Aren't you going to stop her?
04:59No need. They have nowhere to go.
05:02They'll be back.
05:06I gave up everything for a family and this is what they gave me in return.
05:10How could they do this to me?
05:12How could they do this to Mia?
05:15Tristan, how did things change so quickly?
05:18You are not the same man I married.
05:20Mom, it's my fault. I will end Ryder's special day.
05:27No, sweetheart. You aren't to blame for any of this.
05:30You were right. Your brother was being mean and I should have done something about it.
05:46She's lost a lot of blood. She needs surgery immediately.
05:51Her blood type is AB negative and without a donor I fear the surgery will be too risky.
05:56Mommy?
05:58Mommy? Am I going to die?
06:00No, sweetheart.
06:01Mommy's here. Nothing will happen to you.
06:10Ryder, you're here. Your sister needs you.
06:13You have the same AB negative blood.
06:15I am busy.
06:16Leave me alone.
06:19Ryder.
06:20Enough.
06:22These are more than games.
06:24These are to keep his mind sharp.
06:26Tristan, this is his sister's life.
06:29You overreact for everything.
06:31She got hurt because you were careless.
06:33Why not offer your own blood?
06:35My blood isn't a match.
06:37Why is everything always about you?
06:41She doesn't have a lot of time.
06:43She might not make it.
06:49What did you say?
06:50She's lost a lot of blood.
06:52She's fallen into a coma.
06:53We need to find a donor.
06:54Within an hour, it's our only hope.
06:56Tristan, Ryder listens to you.
06:59Please, you have to help.
07:02Alright, that's enough.
07:04After all, I am her father.
07:07Stop always trying to make me the bad guy.
07:09Your sister can't wait any longer. Go.
07:11Wait.
07:13Mia's in a coma because she's lost too much blood.
07:16Now you want me to lose mine too?
07:18What?
07:19That's not...
07:22I'm your mom.
07:28Hold on.
07:29My grandson is a genius.
07:32I won't allow any Tom, Dick, Harry to get his blood.
07:35It has his DNA in it.
07:36This isn't for anyone.
07:38This is for his sister.
07:39His blood has nothing to do with his intellect.
07:42So you're a doctor now?
07:44You know this for a fact.
07:45You coddle that poor girl and are always trying to have her piggyback off Ryder's accomplishments.
07:51But this?
07:52I can't forgive this.
07:54Please.
07:55She'll die without his blood.
07:56I know!
08:02I know!
08:04I know.
08:05I know.
08:11I know.
08:13I know.
08:16I know.
08:18Hey, I know.
08:19What are you doing?
08:20You can do it.
08:22No.
08:23I know.
08:23No.
08:23Yes.
08:24Yeah.
08:24I know.
08:25I know.
08:26No.
08:40lucas do you want a break i can sit with mia no no the doctors told me you're responsible
08:47for tracking down a blood donor for mia turns out ab negative is super rare but it's something
08:55mia and i have in common how can i ever repay you don't be like that i am always happy
09:01to help
09:02i heard what happened with tristan and rider how could they leave like that without even caring
09:07about mia you deserve more does he even care maybe he still cares deep down after all lucas
09:20i need to take mia home after this of course i'll drive you home
09:40what are you doing
09:46what were you doing aren't you ashamed do you want to sleep with him enough
09:59tristan why did you call me home if you were only going to insult me with this i called you
10:05because
10:05the dishes aren't going to clean by themselves and tomorrow we are throwing rider a party
10:10and we invited some prestigious guests including dr wright who has apparently come out of her
10:18reclusive shell for this event it's important that we all play nice for riders benefit and future if
10:25things go well who knows perhaps dr wright may even consider taking our son on as her student
10:31since you are so busy planning rider's party by sleeping with her you might not have found the
10:36time to ask about your daughter mia we were able to find a donor she is waiting downstairs in the
10:44car to
10:45see her father i knew she'd be all right you're always overreacting what makes you think dr wright
10:52would work with rider you don't even know dr wright trust me i know dr wright you do
11:00well i know her type believe me she'll want to work with rider but i am not sure how'd she
11:05feel
11:05about you on that we may agree i am not sure dr wright would even know who i am at
11:11all you were so
11:12different when we met as soon as we had kids you ignored me and they become your focus and once
11:18i
11:18focused more on the kids you became jealous and so bitchy kid kid you only focused on rider that too
11:28after i proved he had the intellect to become a genius you always acted like mia was never born
11:35did you ever really love us
11:42fine if that's how it is then i want a divorce a divorce how will you live everything you have
11:50everything you are is because of me there would be no sophia miller if it weren't for me you're right
11:56you are the reason sophie miller exists so let's relieve you and the world from this burden take back
12:03the things you gave to give her life
12:09this cheap cardigan i know it's a knockoff and these pearls
12:15you bought your mother gold and gave your own wife plastic
12:21are you finished no but we are
12:34i'm leaving you we're done my feelings for you made me blind to who you really are
12:40they made me blind to who i really am
12:52ah now i get it you found yourself a new man and all of a sudden you want to divorce
12:58me
13:00mind your words god tristan not everyone is a cheater like you we are done here my lawyers will contact

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 the tragic devoted single father raising his genius child
14:13on his own maybe you'll become a bigger part of ryder's story

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
25:26if ryder is selected for that program then he is set for life i'll make sure he is impressed by
25:33ryder hello you are dr andrew roley yes with your busy schedule we weren't sure if you could make it
25:43here are you saying you were hoping i would not come no no no that's not what i meant look
25:51everyone here
25:52is happier and everything shines brighter with your presence thank you for coming director
26:03you must be thirsty after your journey here there's champagne over there may i pour you a glass
26:09get out of my way please go bother someone else dr wright it is so great to see you thanks
26:16to you the
26:16national youth academics program at mit has produced many bona fide geniuses i'm i'm sorry do you two
26:22know each other they must have met at a parent meeting please dr roley it is kind of you to
26:29assume
26:29the child's mother had something to do with the incredible accomplishments ryder has achieved at such
26:33an early age but i assure you why are you still here
26:40i mean no disrespect director roley
26:45but you are only here because we invited you how dare you i am only here because of dr wright
26:52without
26:53her there wouldn't even be a national youth academics program at mit this was created
27:00for her for her by her somebody please assure me this woman is not connected to this young man's
27:12development director roley ryder was nurtured at every step by me we are all here today because of
27:18the work he and i did together you think you offered more to this day than the boy's own mother
27:24a woman with an academic reputation that has the sharpest minds in the country gathered to meet her
27:30child you have it all wrong she has spent all of her time trying to coddle and soft the boy
27:37i am
27:38the one who has honed in on his intellectual side that woman may be the world's greatest con artist but
27:43i can assure you she isn't an intellectual she's a moron why do sounds keep exploding from your mouth when
27:50you never offer anything valuable to a conversation and like that scarlet is speechless i didn't think it
27:59was possible you have already proven yourself to be a master of deception is this how you found favor
28:05with the director did you worm your way into his bed is 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 the
28:42miller 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 my son
29:37you don't need to worry about him do you think he'd come to you or me if we both held
29:41out our hand
29:42right now it's normal for a boy to want to impress his father tristan has taken advantage of that for
29:49his own selfish needs but i can help ryder get back on the right path ryder would you like to
29:56live with me
29:58with mia i only want the best for you you are my son
30:04i hate being your son i don't want to live with you i want miss prin to be my mother
30:10not you
30:12you are a liar and poor and ryder i'm not poor i come from a very wealthy family i just
30:19didn't want
30:19you to have to face the pressures i faced with that name if you are rich then i hate you
30:23for keeping this
30:24from me and living a lie if you are poor you are lying to me now either way your wish
30:29i came from anyone else
30:30but you if you did love me you'd die and disappear so i could move on to a better life
30:35did you hear
30:36that ivy if you truly love ryder then leave him the hell alone i hate you i hate you my
30:46own son
30:48sees me as his enemy
30:54fine then
30:56ryder 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
31:07your intellect as something to be admired but i assure you everyone will forget who you are when
31:13they see what i am capable of you may have my brain for mathematics languages and music but you
31:20are definitely 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 areas
31:32i 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 roly you must be mistaken sophia ivy i don't know what to

33:30be if i didn't
33:31help his parents find a way to stay together what are you doing this isn't right you said you wanted

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 rider
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
43:33rider is your child with ivy i wanted one that was our own
43:38so you've never considered rider 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

44:19i have two children with a nightmare of a father i've been dismissive of my potential i think you've
44:24always been exactly who you needed to be at the time nothing about what i've done the choices i've
44:30made the life i've created should appeal to you ivy every ounce of your essence appeals to me that
44:36wouldn't be fair to you hiding my feelings and not asserting myself earlier is what has been unfair
44:41to me and you lucas i've been so focused on being a mother being a wife i've stopped focusing on
44:48what
44:48it also means to be me i'm not sure i am ready to start a new relationship i wouldn't want
44:52to lose
44:52myself again i wouldn't ever want any version of you that wasn't the most truthful and self-loving
44:57version of yourself i'm not worthy of you right now right now i'm in a place where i've needed you
45:03to save me countless times i like being there for you and for this to ever work i need to
45:08know i can
45:08be there for you and my children too ivy i've waited for this for a long time and i'd spend
45:14the rest of
45:15my days waiting if that's what it takes i want us to be together but when you're ready and never
45:19sooner
45:19nor a minute later you lost our house you lost our baby and now can't even find the remote control
45:29priston are you here just to make my life even harder i've given up everything for you in fact
45:34your pregnancy fast-tracked my divorce to idy you were gonna leave her anyway why do you keep
45:40bringing her up do you want her back is that it shut up both of you stop fighting all right
45:52we'll stop
45:53fighting as you can see we are all willing to invest everything we have in you my son
45:58you are our future you are the future for all of us
46:03writer sweetheart we are all counting on you this upcoming american scholarship program is a chance to
46:08show that ungrateful mother of yours how great you truly are do well there and we will live a life
46:12that none of us have even imagined
46:20today is the day we announce the results of the qualifying tests for the american scholarship program
46:28welcome everyone
46:33if you will turn your attention to the main aisle you will see one of this year's top participants
46:37ryder miller he is always impressive and we all predict him to be at the top when the results are
46:42announced 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
47:00and one of the sharpest minds of our time dr ivy wright
47:07is
47:17an interesting development in recent weeks is that dr wright has both of her children her son ryder
47:24and her 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 rider can keep up with all this pressure i think ryder is going to be fine
48:04once the
48:05results confirm ryder as the top candidate do not try to steal his spotlight with all of the i'm his
48:12mommy 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
48:25it'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 you
48:39what makes more sense so it is easiest for him to make his speech
48:48the 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
49:35he couldn't focus and now the results from mia miller she has scored 150 points in the max event
49:40a perfect score 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
49:58dr right dr right mia'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 ryder and i were left with nothing
51:14he's just a child what kind of kid could survive that level of humiliation
51:19these are all lies is that right sofia or is it ivy are you even able to keep it straight
51:28you have
51:29convinced 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 wright are you
51:58really her lover yes but this is all recent after ivy divorced her husband after we found him cheating
52:05on 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
52:19children from our lies you turned them against me you made my own child my son wish he could be
52:27raised
52:27by another woman ryder 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
53:09my 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
53:25jealous of her son she tried to hide who she was and now she's trying to hide who he can
53:31be
53:31this is a pattern nobody is buying any of this tristan good because i am not selling anything
53:38i am just stating facts in some parts of this world things like the truth and honesty still
53:43mean 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
54:16attention i 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 this exam
54:42turns out you faked your son's grades in all the three exams
54:47and did a convincing job that even fooled me are you saying writers test results were faked so this
54:53has all been a deceptive ploy i poured a lot of money into your son you had me convinced this
55:01young
55:01man was a path to a promising future for all of us mr baker this is all a misunderstanding
55:09this is the contract you signed i 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
55:28commit fraud you would owe me a compensation of 40 million dollars i don't have that kind of money
55:35you better find it as the alternative is much worse how did you let this happen me you're the one
55:43who
55:43said nobody would ever find out that's the problem with trying to outsmart people smarter than you
55:48if 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 i am afraid i will have to call the authorities
56:10and make
56:10this a criminal matter ivy please for the boy this isn't ryder's debt or fault this is on you what
56:24you
56:25have done has violated not only our vows but your responsibility to your children and quite simply
56:33the law i am so so sorry you are going to jail for a long time tristan and without you
56:45ryder will go
56:47to a foster home i hope this is the last time i am ever seeing you goodbye forever to both
