Category
🎥
Short filmTranscript
00:07Congratulations, Dr. Ivy Wright. A generational talent. At 18 years old, she earned her Ph.D.
00:14in mathematics from Harvard. Five years ago, I went by my birth name, Ivy Wright, a celebrated
00:21mathematician. Ivy, this is for you. So what's next in life of a genius mathematician? Thanks, Lucas.
00:39Well, I met someone this past summer. It was so freeing, so different. He saw me as a normal woman.
00:47I didn't have to speak about my brains or the family I come from. Are you sure? You just got
00:54your Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard. You know, math has always been easy for me, but the life I've
00:59been living, it's quite empty. All this recognition feels like a burden. I want a family, Lucas. I am
01:08not sure I can ever have that if I am always living in the shadow of Ivy Wright. You're not
01:13in the shadow
01:13of Ivy Wright. You are Ivy Wright. I know, but I want to fall in love, get married, and live
01:24a simple happy life. Ironically, the life of academia I tried to leave behind has found me
01:34once more through my son. Ryder, at the age five, is ranked highest in International Math Olympiad.
01:40What's it like living with a generational genius? In everyone's eyes, I am just simple housewife.
01:47I just hope this pressure is easier on my son than it was on me. Ryder, who do you credit
01:52most for your incredible intellect? Ouch! Hey! The kid? He bit his mom? Did you see that?
02:07I want to thank my dad and my mentor, Miss Prennan. I have inherited my dad's incredible genes,
02:13and I am grateful for the guidance I got from the Scarlet Prennan. Everyone hungry? Miss Prennan,
02:30you can join us, too. Come on, Sophia. Let's not be selfish. This is Ryder's day. Let him sit with
02:43his father
02:44and tutor to enjoy the moment. You two can eat the leftovers after we are done.
02:52Why is everyone being mean? This is a special day for Ryder. They are just caught up in the excitement.
03:02More! You've worked up quite an appetite. Let his sister do it. Her brother is a genius and will change
03:10all of our fortunes. And it would be better for Mia to learn all this at a young age.
03:15Yes, Grandma.
03:19Ryder!
03:21Why are you yelling at Ryder? Mia is the Kluds who dropped the bowl.
03:26This mess isn't going to clean itself.
03:29Ryder, I'm your mother. Who taught you to behave like this?
03:33It's a joke. Lighten up. Why are you always such a buzzkill?
03:37Why are you having to be so angry? If you are actually trying to perform what you're supposed to lay
03:45out with you,
03:45you're not a clown.
03:47To save a family, you don't have a genius. You have enthusiasm.
04:20I had no idea you spoke French.
04:24They proved the respect for him.
04:28Ryder, I am your mother.
04:30Do you really think it's okay to talk?
04:32Why does this thing talk so much?
04:35Can't it 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.
04:50Fine. We are leaving.
04:54Tristan, your wife is leaving you.
04:57Aren't you gonna 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 ruined 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.
05:47She'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.
05:57Mommy, am I going to die?
06:00No, 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.
06:15I am busy. Leave me alone.
06:19Ryder.
06:20Enough. These are more than games. These are to keep his mind sharp.
06:26Tristan, this is his sister's life.
06:29You overreact for everything. She got hurt because you were careless.
06:34Why 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. She might not make it.
06:49What did you say?
06:50She's lost a lot of blood. She's fallen into a coma.
06:53We need to find a donor within an hour. It's our only hope.
06:57Tristan, Ryder listens to you. Please, you have to help.
07:02Alright, that's enough.
07:04After all, I am her father. Stop always trying to make me the bad guy.
07:09Your sister can't wait any longer. Go.
07:11Wait. Mia's in a coma because she's lost too much blood. Now you want me to lose mine too?
07:18What? That's not...
07:22I'm your mom.
07:23I can't believe that you have sacrificed your daughter.
07:28Hold on.
07:29My grandson is a genius.
07:32I won't allow any Tom, Dick, Harry to get his blood. It has his DNA in it.
07:36This isn't for anyone. This is for his sister. His 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? I can't forgive this.
07:53Please. She'll die without his blood.
08:02No!
08:03No!
08:04No!
08:11No!
08:13No!
08:16No!
08:16No!
08:16This is Prynne.
08:17Thank you for coming over.
08:19Ryder really likes you.
08:20I'd do anything for him.
08:22You're so nice.
08:24I wish you were my Mom sometimes.
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,
08:53but it's something Mia and I have in common. How can I ever repay you? Don't be like that.
09:00I am always happy to help. I heard what happened with Tristan and Ryder. How could
09:05they 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.
09:23Of 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?
09:53Enough!
10:00Tristan, 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.
10:08And tomorrow we are throwing Ryder a party and we invited some prestigious guests, including
10:14Dr. Wright, who has apparently come out of her reclusive shell for this event.
10:20It's important that we all play nice for Ryder's benefit and future. If 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, you might not have found
10:36the time to ask about your daughter.
10:40Mia, we were able to find a donor. She is waiting downstairs in the car to see her father.
10:46I knew she'd be alright. You're always overreacting.
10:50What makes you think Dr. Wright would work with Ryder? You don't even know Dr. Wright!
10:55Trust me. I know Dr. Wright.
10:58You do?
11:00Well, I know her type. Believe me, she'll want to work with Ryder. But I am not sure how'd
11:05she feel about you.
11:06On that we may agree. I am not sure Dr. Wright would even know who I am at all.
11:11You were so different when we met. As soon as we had kids, you ignored me and they become
11:16your focus. And once I focused more on the kids, you became jealous and so bitchy!
11:22Kid.
11:24Kid?
11:25You only focused on Ryder. That too, after I proved he had the intellect to become a genius.
11:32You always acted like Mia was never born. Did you ever really love us?
11:41Fine.
11:43If that's how it is, then I want a divorce.
11:46A divorce? How will you live? Everything you have, everything you are, is because of
11:51me. There would be no Sophia Miller if it weren't for me.
11:55You're right. You are the reason Sophie Miller exists. So let's relieve you and the world from
12:02this burden. Take back the things you gave to give her life.
12:09This cheap cardigan. I know it's a knock-off. And these pearls?
12:15You bought your mother gold and gave your own wife plastic.
12:21Are you finished?
12:23No, 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.
13:02God, Tristan. Not everyone is a cheater like you. We are done here. My lawyers will contact you for the
13:09proceedings.
13:16Look, Ryder, your mom is leaving you.
13:18Since when are you so concerned about me?
13:21Enough with this nonsense. Get lost already.
13:24Where are you going? Are you abandoning your family?
13:28Ryder, you are welcome to join us.
13:30What kind of life would that be?
13:32Do you really think you are everything you are without what I've shared with you?
13:36Miss Prynne has been more than a mother to me than you ever were.
13:39Who are you?
13:41You're nothing.
13:43Do 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. Wright.
13:55So true.
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.
14:22Smart and sexy.
14:25Perhaps we don't need to play the single father a bit longer than we have to.
14:41Welcome home, Miss Wright.
14:50Welcome home, Miss Wright.
14:53Your parents are in a major project meeting with investors.
14:56I know they are excited to see you.
14:58They just need a moment.
15:00No 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?
15:18Either 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, I 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?
15:48You have always been Ivy Wright.
15:50Even when others called you by another name.
15:52My children, my community, nobody knows me as Ivy Wright.
15:59Then perhaps it's time we reintroduced Dr. Ivy Wright to the world.
16:14I've been someone else for too long.
16:16Welcome back, Ivy Wright.
16:21Thank you, honored guests, members 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.
17:10We've always considered her a member of the family.
17:19Ryder has completed his early education and 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.
17:41Ryder is attempting numerous offers.
17:43He 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.
17:54She holds three Guinness Book of World Records.
17:56A living legend.
17:58Assuming she's still alive.
18:00Nobody has heard from her in years.
18:01It's like she disappeared off the face of the earth.
18:03Everyone, please calm down.
18:04As 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.
18:22Ryder is excited to meet this incredible woman.
18:27Any discussions on Dr. Wright potentially mentoring the young boy?
18:35Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
18:37Ryder and Dr. Wright haven't even met yet.
18:39And I am sure their intellics will be too much for us to comprehend.
18:43In terms of what connection they will make.
18:45Dr. Wright?
19:01What are you doing here?
19:05It's my son's big day.
19:07Did you think I'd miss it?
19:09This is embarrassing.
19:11Get out now.
19:11Before anyone realizes who you really are.
19:14Why are you here?
19:16I'm your mother.
19:18Dad says you're getting divorced.
19:20And I'll have a new mother.
19:22I thought Dr. Ivy Wright was a special guest today.
19:25You need to leave before Dr. Ivy Wright does arrive.
19:28I am here already, my dear.
19:30Are you delusional?
19:32You're out of your freaking mind.
19:35Stop embarrassing yourself.
19:37I've already told everyone Ryder doesn't have a mother.
19:40Doesn't have a mother?
19:42What exactly did you tell everyone?
19:44What have you ever given me?
19:47Dad and Miss Prennan have been my everything.
19:49Do you really believe that?
19:51Tu is la pire amera du monde.
19:53The only stain in my life.
19:56I'm ashamed of you.
19:57Le respect n'est pas chiant que tu m'a doule parce que je suis ta mère.
20:01C'est sans conche que tu a crôde parce que ça t'a terrain méhaut.
20:03Congrats on your Duotaco app purchase.
20:07Anyone can learn basic French now.
20:10Get out now!
20:13Look, Professor Seton, Myers, and Durden has arrived to meet Ryder.
20:17See?
20:18These three real academic giants came all for Ryder.
20:23Leave now before you are exposed for who you really are.
20:33Sofia, the three academic giants all came for Ryder.
20:38As a direct result of my invitation.
20:41Really?
20:42They all came because of you?
20:45Quiet woman!
20:46The men are talking business here.
20:48Unless you're going to start trick-or-treating, I suggest you get out of that ridiculous costume and disappear before
20:54you ruin Ryder's event.
20:57You're the one parading around as a reputable academic when we can all see through your facade and know you're
21:04just an opportunistic parasite looking to piggyback off of a child.
21:08Who do you think you are?
21:10I finally know exactly who I am.
21:12Who the hell are you?
21:13You're dressed up as someone else on the day of your son's big event?
21:17Do you think those professors would spare you a glance?
21:20You know what?
21:20You're right.
21:21This is Ryder's big day and the important guests you've invited are clearly here out of respect for you.
21:27Please don't let me keep you.
21:30Hello, professors.
21:31Welcome to my son's party.
21:33Is it really you?
21:34We heard you had disappeared without a trace.
21:39We've been worried.
21:40We are so incredibly honored to be here with you.
21:48You are all too kind.
21:50I've missed you.
21:52The concerto you composed as a child is still the core focus of my advanced teachings.
21:56It's beautiful beyond words.
21:58That is far too generous.
22:00Your article on fractals and their implications on modern theories and quantum physics helped me discover a theory that has
22:06created technological advancements I never thought I'd see in my lifetime.
22:09Your early work offered me the essential tools I needed for my article.
22:14I continue to use your theories on implementing Esperanto as a universal language for our space program as the most
22:20logical form of communication should we ever make first contact.
22:23Wouldn't that be a lovely thing?
22:26Dad, what on earth could they be talking about with mom?
22:30What is this madness?
22:34How is she fooling three of the leading minds of our time?
22:36She is cunning.
22:38She has some dirt on all of you, right?
22:45Everything I am in the academic world is thanks to her research.
22:48She is the epitome of authenticity.
22:50If you question Dr. Wright, you question all of us.
22:55Apologize.
22:56Apologize?
22:57To whom?
22:58The woman you are chatting with is a fraud.
23:01I've known her for years and she is not worthy of your praise or time.
23:05I've lived with you all these years.
23:06I know you better than anyone.
23:08Why is everyone believing this lie?
23:10After years together, you never really knew me, did you?
23:13I can't believe I was so blind.
23:15You never took the time to know me.
23:17Stop this charade.
23:19Apologize now.
23:20You've insulted these intellectual elites and our family with your deceptions.
23:24What gives you the right?
23:27No.
23:29The audacity to try and discredit Dr. Wright.
23:33Wait, what?
23:34Are you saying my mother is Dr. Ivy Wright?
23:38This is insane.
23:40How is she Dr. Wright?
23:42You've met her.
23:43She's not smart.
23:44If she really is Dr. Wright,
23:47Ryder's opportunities will skyrocket.
23:50Make use of it.
23:52You're right.
23:54Clever.
23:55All right, everyone.
23:57The secret is out.
23:59Everyone, look over here.
24:01The real reason behind this special event, and yes, our playful games of misdirection, are over.
24:06It's time the world knew.
24:09Ryder is the son of the academic wonder child herself.
24:13The mother of my children.
24:15Dr. Ivy Wright.
24:20Wow.
24:22You have children?
24:23Please let us know what we can do to ensure he has all of the opportunities in the world to
24:27achieve his potential.
24:28If you think my son is smart, you should meet his sister.
24:32This is my party.
24:34Why are you making this about you?
24:36Miss Prynne is smart and successful.
24:39She's a thousand times better than you.
24:41So what if you have a PhD?
24:43What did you ever do with it?
24:45What a waste.
24:47You really don't know your place.
24:48You have no idea who she is, do you?
24:50I know exactly who she is.
24:52She's been our cook and has washed our laundry and kept our home clean.
24:56She's used her PhD to become the world's best nanny.
25:00Is that who I am to you?
25:02Look, the director of MIT, Dr. Andrew Rowley, is here.
25:07This day is supposed to be about Ryder.
25:10Perhaps Director Rowley 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 Rowley.
25:21Do you know how big of a deal it is for us to have him here?
25:24He must have come to Scout Ryder for the National Youth Academic Program.
25:27If Ryder is selected for that program, then he is set for life.
25:31I'll make sure he is impressed by Ryder.
25:35Hello.
25:36You are Dr. Andrew Rowley?
25:39Yes.
25:40With your busy schedule, we weren't sure if you could make it here.
25:43Are you saying you were hoping I would not come?
25:48No, no, no.
25:49That's not what I meant.
25:51Look, everyone here is happier and everything shines brighter with your presence.
25:55Thank you for coming, Director.
26:03You must be thirsty after your journey here.
26:06There's champagne over there.
26:08May I pour you a glass?
26:09Get out of my way.
26:10Please go bother someone else.
26:13Dr. Wright, it is so great to see you.
26:15Thanks to you, the National Youth Academics Program at MIT has produced many bona fide geniuses.
26:20I'm...
26:21I'm sorry.
26:22Do you two know each other?
26:24They must have met at a parent meeting.
26:26Please, Dr. Rowley.
26:28It is kind of you to assume the child's mother had something to do with the incredible accomplishments Ryder has
26:33achieved at such an early age.
26:34But I assure you...
26:36Why are you still here?
26:40I mean, no disrespect, Director Rowley.
26:45But you are only here because we invited you.
26:48How dare you?
26:49I am only here because of Dr. Wright.
26:52Without her, there wouldn't even be a National Youth Academics Program at MIT.
26:56This was created for her?
27:02For her?
27:04By her!
27:06Somebody please assure me this woman is not connected to this young man's development.
27:13Director Rowley, Ryder was nurtured at every step by me.
27:17We are all here today because of the work he and I did together.
27:20You 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 child?
27:31You have it all wrong.
27:33She has spent all of her time trying to coddle and soft the boy.
27:38I am the one who has honed in on his intellectual side.
27:41That woman may be the world's greatest con artist, but I can assure you she isn't an intellectual.
27:45She'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.
27:58I didn't think it was possible.
28:00You have already proven yourself to be a master of deception.
28:04Is this how you found favor with the director?
28:08Did you worm your way into his bed?
28:13Is that the only play in your playbook?
28:18Apologize.
28:20Now!
28:21She looks like she's in good hands.
28:24weird to see a man hold his child teacher closer and with more affection than he's ever held his
28:30own wife i must say that closeness feels a scooch more intimate than parent teacher
28:35are they having an affair nonsense i'm ryder's teacher true i care for the miller family like
28:43they are my own but these accusations are just rumors sure we'll all believe you more than what
28:49we just saw with our own eyes didn't you like messing around with him well he's all yours now
29:00here you want to embarrass me in front of everyone you embarrass yourself you say i've been living a
29:07lie look in the mirror you hypocrite stop pretending she's your girl and just go public with your
29:13relationship sure it's less scandalous but she's probably still fun all the same no
29:19i am ryder's teacher he is my focus your problems with keeping your husband happy
29:24are your problems alone why don't you let me focus on ryder and you can try focusing on your
29:31husband for five minutes in this life ryder is my son you don't need to worry about him do you
29:39think
29:39he'd come to you or me if we both held out our hand right now it's normal for a boy
29:44to want to
29:44impress his father tristan has taken advantage of that for his own selfish needs but i can help ryder
29:51get back on the right path ryder would you like to live with me with mia i only want the
30:00best for you
30:01you 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
30:11not 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
30:29anyone else but you if you did love me you'd die and disappear so i could move on to a
30:35better life
30:35did you hear that ivy if you truly love ryder then leave him the hell alone i hate you i
30:44hate you
30:45my own son sees me as his enemy
30:54fine then ryder as per your wishes i will no longer consider you my son
31:01oh no how will ryder ever survive without you once upon a time these people may have looked at your
31:08intellect 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 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
31:43prodigy as you wish what the actual fa director roley you must be mistaken sofia ivy i don't know what
31:54to call her anymore is deceptive and has been misleading people all of her life you claim to
31:59value academia above all else and yet you never realized you were married to the smartest woman of
32:05our time and that she is also the only child of isaac and diana wright are you talking about wright
32:12industries isaac and diana wright who do you think sponsors our program you are hosting an event for
32:22the smartest and wealthiest people in the nation and you don't even know who any of them are
32:27miss prinin you have accused me numerous times of living a life of lies and yet you're not actually
32:36a 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

33:02debts and liabilities spousal support what are you saying you're rich right i forgive you for
33:11everything we can work through this for the children you really had everyone fooled the secret
33:18to a great relationship is maintaining curiosity and i'll be damned if i am not curious as to where

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
33:38this too if you insist i guess we'll just have to split your assets in half you're not getting a
33:45single cent from my family i don't make the laws i just follow them you cheated legally you leave with
33:54nothing cheated i've always been upfront and honest you're the one with the secret family and different
34:01names do you really want to play this out in court you're lucky i'm only asking for half
34:07fine
34:09you want evidence

34:21this medical report proves that scarlet is pregnant five weeks six days you two are about
34:27to have a child and you're still pretending to be strangers

34:49mentor

35:06tristan maybe we should sign
35:09rider is our future we have a lot to think about here
35:16rider's mind is worth more than her inheritance she's right i can't keep begging her like this
35:22rider can make twice more money than what her family has
35:26we'll see
35:31i didn't know sophia could be so ruthless
35:34how did she even find out about you embezzling money from your company

36:18but i don't need fancy things
36:21rider
36:22do you want to play your latest consorto for your sister

36:28i'd hate to over stimulate her fragile body or
36:31risk upsetting the delicate blood type of hers
36:34with anything too sophisticated
36:38that's the violin i bought for rider
36:40it was imported from germany and is considered one of the finest violins ever made

40:53and only you
40:56ivy
41:02i have found a way to love myself again
41:04and in doing so i finally opened up to having others love me for who i really am
41:12you gotta be careful around men looking for sloppy seconds
41:15and women who do the same
41:17you bitch
41:18the ink isn't even dry on our divorce papers and you're already seeing someone else
41:22you are such an ignorant hypocrite
41:28ivy
41:28ivy
41:29i know these ecuadorian roses are your favorite
41:31i had them shipped in from paris
41:33that is so thoughtful
41:35i do like occasionally like to indulge in the finer things in life
41:41do you really think this whatever he is supposed to be can make you happy
41:44i guess he'll have an easier time now that i've loosened you up for him
41:50nobody speaks to her like that
41:52ow see i told you he was violent
41:56stop it stop fighting
42:05ah i'm bleeding
42:21how is she
42:23she's going to be okay
42:25but i'm very sorry we couldn't save the baby
42:35you killed our child
42:45scarlet
42:46i'm heartbroken too
42:48but it was an accident
42:50it 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
42:59if she hadn't pushed me would things have turned physical
43:01stop blaming her for everything
43:03this is a hundred percent on you
43:05you are always running from responsibility
43:09how did i not see you were a terrible father
43:11how you've already abandoned your daughter and now our baby
43:13the baby didn't even have a name you weren't even in your second trimester
43:16i am sad too but we can make another one
43:19and the child we need to focus on most is still 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
43:45but no matter what you do he'll always be a reminder of her
43:56why do i feel like you didn't have running into tristan and scarlet on your bingo card
43:59when you were planning this night
44:02i feel like you've always been there for me when i need you most
44:06ivy
44:08i want to always be there for you when you need me most
44:11you really went all out with the flowers tonight
44:14ivy
44:15i want us to be together
44:19i have two children with a nightmare of a father
44:22i've been dismissive of my potential
44:23i 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
44:32ivy every ounce of your essence appeals to me that wouldn't be fair to you
44:37hiding my feelings and not asserting myself earlier is what has been unfair to me
44:42and you lucas i've been so focused on being a mother being a wife
44:47i've stopped focusing on what it also means to be me
44:49i'm not sure i'm ready to start a new relationship i wouldn't want to lose myself again
44:53i wouldn't ever want any version of you that wasn't the most truthful and self-loving version of
44:57yourself i'm not worthy of you right now
45:01right now i'm in a place where i've needed you to save me countless times
45:04i like being there for you and for this to ever work i need to know i can be there
45:09for you and my
45:09children too ivy i've waited for this for a long time and i'd spend the rest of my days waiting
45:15if that's what it takes i want us to be together but when you're ready and never sooner nor a
45:19minute later
45:24you 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
45:33in fact your pregnancy fast-tracked my divorce to idy you were gonna leave her anyway why do
45:39you keep bringing her up do you want her back is that it shut up both of you stop fighting
45:51all right
45:53we'll stop fighting 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
46:13that 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
46:43announced 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
47:18an interesting development in recent weeks is that dr wright has both of her children her son rider
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
47:42everyone 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
47:59i just hope your rider can keep up with all this pressure i think ryder is going to be fine
48:04once the
48:06results 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
48:37you what 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
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 max 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
49:58dr right dr right nia'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
50:36infidelities 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
51:18of humiliation these are all lies is that right sophia or is it ivy are you even able to keep
51:28it
51:28straight you have convinced ryder i am his enemy for years now you give me too much credit
51:37is 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
51:58are you really her lover yes but this is all recent after ivy divorced her husband after we
52:05found him cheating on her with miss scarlet here liar we've all seen the video tristan your lies end
52:13today you 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
52:49academic
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
53:26of her son she tried to hide who she was and now she's trying to hide who he can be
53:32this 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
53:55i am glad you are here mr baker are you sure there have been some concerns raised about ethics and
54:02trust
54:02of this program sir really you are the one to talk about ethics i didn't catch it at first in
54:11fact i
54:11didn'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
54:56money into your son you had me convinced this young man was a path to a promising future for all
55:04of us
55:05mr 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 commit fraud you would owe me a compensation of 40 million dollars i don't have that kind of
55:34money
55:34you 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 i am afraid i will have to call the authorities
56:10and make
56:11this 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
56:41you are going to jail for a long time tristan and without you ryder will go to a foster home
56:48i hope this is the last time i am ever seeing you goodbye forever to both of you
56:58stop filming me
57:04the first prize in today's piano competition goes to mia wright it's hard to believe such a big
57:12powerful and beautiful sound came from the small and delicate little body
