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.
00:46He saw me as a normal woman. I didn't have to speak about my brains or the family I come
00:50from.
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.
01:01All this recognition feels like a burden. I want a family, Lucas. I am not sure I can ever have
01:09that if I am always living in the 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?
01:44In everyone's eyes, I am just simple housewife. I just hope this pressure is easier on my son than it
01:49was on me.
01:51Ryder, who do you credit most for your incredible intellect?
01:58Ouch! Hey!
02:00The kid? He bit his mom? Did you see that?
02:06I want to thank my dad and my mentor, Ms. Prenton.
02:10I have inherited my dad's incredible genes, and I am grateful for the guidance I got from the scarlet print.
02:21Everyone hungry?
02:29Ms. Prenton, you can join us too.
02:39Come on, Sophia. Let's not be selfish.
02:41This is Ryder's day. Let him sit with his father and tutor to enjoy 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.
02:59They are just caught up in the excitement.
03:02More!
03:04You've worked up quite an appetite.
03:06Let his sister do it.
03:08Her 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.
03:15Yes, 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.
03:36Why are you always such a buzzkill?
03:38Why are you famous-looking?
03:42I'm not good.
03:43Why do you say that little old is too old.
03:44Why are you even poor?
03:44Why are you shouting at Ryder's?
03:47Why do you cry?
03:48By the end of the family,
03:50We don't give up a genius.
03:52You're suffocating.

05:15Tristan how did things change so quickly you are not the same man I married
05:20mom it's my fault I ruined Ryder's special day
05:27no sweetheart you aren't to blame for any of this you were right your brother was being mean and I
05:33should have done something about it
05:47she's lost a lot of blood she needs surgery immediately her blood type is AB negative and without a donor
05:53I fear the surgery will be too risky
05:59no sweetheart mommy's here nothing will happen to you
06:10Ryder you're here your sister needs you you have the same AB negative blood I am
06:16busy leave me alone
06:19Ryder
06:21enough these are more than games these are to keep his mind sharp
06:25Tristan this is his sister's life
06:28you overreact for everything she got hurt because you were careless why not offer your own blood
06:35my blood isn't a match why is everything always about you she doesn't have a lot of time she might
06:44not make it
06:49what did you say she's lost a lot of blood and she's fallen into a coma we need to find
06:54a donor within an hour it's our only hope
06:56Tristan Ryder listens to you please you have to help
07:00all right that's enough after all I am her father stop always trying to make me the bad guy
07:09your sister can't wait any longer go wait Mia's in a coma because she's lost too much blood
07:16now you want me to lose mine too what that's not
07:22I'm your mom
07:28hold on
07:29my grandson is a genius I won't allow any Tom Dick Harry to get his blood it has
07:35his DNA in it this isn't for anyone this is for his sister his blood has nothing to do
07:41with his intellect so you're a doctor now you know this for a fact you coddle that
07:46poor girl and are always trying to have her piggyback off Ryder's accomplishments
07:50but this I can't forgive this please she'll die without his blood
08:16Miss Prynne thank you for coming over Ryder really likes you I'd do anything for him you're so nice I
08:25wish you were my mom sometimes
08:26I can sit with Mia
08:40Lucas do you want a break I can sit with Mia no no the doctors told me you're responsible for
08:47tracking down a blood donor for Mia
08:49turns out AV negative is super rare but it's something me and I have in common
08:56how can I ever repay you don't be like that I am always happy to help I heard what happened
09:03with Tristan and Ryder
09:04how could they leave like that without even caring about Mia you deserve more does he even care
09:16maybe he still cares deep down after all Lucas I need to take Mia home after this of course
09:25I'll drive you home
09:40What are you doing what 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
10:04I called you because the dishes aren't going to clean by themselves
10:07and tomorrow we are throwing Ryder a party
10:10and we invited some prestigious guests including
10:13Dr. Wright who has apparently
10:17come out of her reclusive shell for this event
10:20it's important that we all play nice
10:22for Ryder's benefit and future
10:25if things go well who knows
10:28perhaps Dr. Wright may even consider taking our son on as her student
10:32since 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 alright
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
11:02she'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 I want a divorce
11:46a divorce?
11:47how will you live?
11:49everything you have
11:50everything you are
11:51is 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
12:04to give her life
12:09this cheap cardigan
12:11I 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
12:52ah 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

13:27Ryder you are welcome to join us
13:30what kind of life would that be?
13:32do you really think you are everything you are

13:56we are done here
13:58I'll have the divorce papers drawn up tomorrow
14:03Sophia's threats of divorce are going to completely steal focus from Ryder's party tomorrow
14:07perhaps there is another way to frame this
14:10the tragic devoted single father raising his genius child on his own
14:14maybe you'll become a bigger part of Ryder's story
14:22you'll become a bigger part of Ryder's story
14:22smart and sexy

24:51is she's
24:52been our cook and has washed our laundry and kept our home clean she's used her phd to become the
24:58world's best nanny is that who i am to you look the director of mit dr andrew roley is here
25:06this day
25:08is supposed to be about writer perhaps director roley can help us all get back to where our focus
25:12should be leave this to me he is the director of mit dr andrew roley do you know how big
25:22of a deal
25:22it is for us to have him here he must come to scout writer for the national youth academic program
25:26if rider is selected for that program then he is set for life i'll make sure he is impressed by
25:33rider 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
25:52here is 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 rider has achieved at such
26:33an early age but i assure you why are you still here i 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 her there wouldn't even be a national youth academics program at mit this was created
27:00for her for her for her by her somebody please assure me this woman is not connected to this young
27:11man's development director roley rider 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
27:38i am the
27:39one who has honed in on his intellectual side that woman may be the world's greatest con artist but i
27:43can assure you she isn't an intellectual she's a moron why do sounds keep exploding from your mouth when you
27:50never 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 rider'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 rider'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 rider and you can try focusing on your husband for five minutes in this life
29:33rider 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 rider get back on the right path rider 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 rider 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
30:30else but you if you did love me you'd die and disappear so i could move on to a better
30:35life
30:35did you hear that ivy if you truly love rider then leave him the hell alone i hate you
30:44i hate you my own son sees me as his enemy
30:54fine then rider as per your wishes i will no longer consider you my son
31:00oh no how will rider 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
31:19but you are 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 rider 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 fuh director roly you must be mistaken sofia ivy i don't know what to
31:54call her anymore is deceptive and has been misleading people all of her life you claim to value academia
32:00above all else and yet you never realized you were married to the smartest woman of our time
32:07and that she is also the only child of isaac and diana wright are you talking about wright industries
32:15isaac and diana wright who do you think sponsors our program you are hosting an event for the smartest

42:54it's all your fault scarlet the one who should really be blamed is ivy if she hadn't pushed me
43:00would things have turned physical stop blaming her for everything this is a hundred percent on you
43:05you are always running from responsibility how did i not see you were a terrible father how you've
43:11already abandoned your daughter and now our baby the baby didn't even have a name you weren't even in
43:15your second trimester i am sad too but we can make another one and the child we need to focus

44:24been exactly who you needed to be at the time nothing about what i've done the choices i've made
44:30the 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'm ready to start a new relationship i wouldn't want to
44:52lose
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 that's what it takes i want us to be together but when you're ready and never sooner
45:19nor a minute later you lost our house you lost our baby and now can't even find the remote control
45:29kristen 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 bringing
45:40her up do you want her back is that it shut up both of you stop fighting all right we'll
45:53stop
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
46:03rider 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 today 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 this is just the beginning once ryder's results
46:51are announced this will be our daily life today we are also honored to welcome a very special guest
46:58she is the founder of this amazing program and one of the sharpest minds of our time dr ivy wright
47:19is that dr wright has both of her children her son ryder and her daughter mia compete in the exams
47:27one
47:27week ago mia really this is why dei programs don't work what a joke is she gonna fill out her
47:37forms in crayon
47:40unbelievable is this some make a wish thing everyone is here for ryder why do you insist on embarrassing
47:48yourself and our children wrong everyone is here to see the new candidates who are selected in the american
47:56scholarship program i just hope your rider can keep up with all this pressure i think ryder is going
48:04to be fine once the results confirm ryder as the top candidate do not try to steal his spotlight with
48:11all of the i'm his mommy nonsense this is his day not yours if your intellect matched your overconfidence
48:18you might actually be dangerous i love how you never let facts or reality get in the way of your
48:24opinions
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
49:12together with the remaining events ryder has scored a total of 20 points ryder would unfortunately be disqualified from the
49:19program
49:20that's impossible you must have the wrong name on the forms ryder is a child prodigy ouch feels a little
49:30low
49:32even for ryder you've been a distraction and likely the reason he couldn't focus and now the results
49:37for mia miller she has scored 150 points in the next event a perfect score 150 points in literature and
49:44150
49:4550 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 wright mia's results were off the charts
50:02mr miller you must be so proud of your daughter
50:06sure ryder didn't fare as well as anyone thought but
50:10i can't let this end like this you you have all been kept in the dark i can't believe it
50:20there have been things clearly kept from you
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 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 i
52:37don't
52:38like that woman i prefer miss prinin she's been more of a mother to me than anyone else in this
52:44world
52:44she's always been more like a mother than a tutor to me when my father would take me to academic
52:49camps
52:50she'd find a way to be there even when my own mother wasn't there she would even save my family
52:56money
52:56on 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
53:26of her son she tried to hide who she was and now she's trying to hide who he can be
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
53:49isn't that mr baker writer's sponsor didn't he fund the kids training and examination charges
53:55i 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 this exam
54:42turns out you faked your son's grades in all the three exams and did a convincing job that even fooled
54:49me are you saying riders test results were faked so this has all been a deceptive ploy i poured a
54:56lot
54:56of money into your son you had me convinced this young man was a path to a promising future for
55:03all of us
55:04mr baker this is all a misunderstanding this 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
55:28commit 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 me you're the
55:43one who said nobody would ever find out that's the problem with trying to outsmart people smarter than
55:47you if either of you were smarter you'd have realized how dumb your plan was i hate you don't be
55:54angry mom
55:55i am not your mom get lost i hate you too i hate all 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
56:15ivy
56:17please
56:17for the boy this isn't ryder's debt or fault this is on you what you have done has violated not
56:26only
56:27our vows but your responsibility to your children and quite simply the law
56:34i am so so 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
