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 day.
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
01:50was on me.
01:51Ryder, who do you credit most for your incredible intellect?
01:58Ouch! Hey! The kid? He bit his mom? Did you see that?
02:07I want to thank my dad and my mentor, Ms. Prynne.
02:10I have inherited my dad's incredible genes, and I am grateful for the guidance I got from Ms. Scarlet Prynne.
02:22Everyone hungry?
02:29Ms. Prynne, you can join us too.
02:39Come 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.
02:53Why 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 Mia to learn all this at a young age.
03:16Yes, Grandma.
03:20Ryder!
03:21Why are you yelling at Ryder?
03:23Mia 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 always such a buzzkill?
03:53I'm a little bit younger.
04:03I love you.
04:09I love you.
04:12Now I need to foods rather than want to eat.
04:15I'm sure you can chill out of my wallet.
04:16I'm not sure what do I do at all the time?
04:19I'm in love with you.
04:20What could you say?
04:21I had no idea you spoke French.
04:25They proved the respect, Finn.
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.
04:37Ryder achieved something incredible today.
04:39Let him have his fun.
04:40Don'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.
04:51We are leaving.
04:55Tristan, your wife is leaving you.
04:57Aren't you gonna stop her?
04:59No need.
05:00They have nowhere to go.
05:02They'll be back.
05:06I gave up everything for a family,
05:08and 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.
05:23I ruined Ryder's special day.
05:27No, sweetheart.
05:29You aren't to blame for any of this.
05:30You were right.
05:31Your brother was being mean,
05:33and I should have done something about it.
05:46She's lost a lot of blood.
05:49She needs surgery immediately.
05:51Her blood type is AB negative,
05:52and without a donor,
05:53I fear the surgery will be too risky.
05:57Mommy?
05:58Am I going to die?
06:00No, sweetheart.
06:01Mommy's here.
06:03Nothing will happen to you.
06:10Ryder, you're here.
06:12Your sister needs you.
06:13You have the same AB negative blood.
06:15I am busy.
06:17Leave 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,
06:52and she's fallen into a coma.
06:53We need to find a donor within an hour.
06:56It's our only hope.
06:57Tristan, Ryder listens to you.
06:59Please, you have to help.
07:01All right.
07:02That'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.
07:11Go.
07:12Wait.
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.
07:46You 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.
07:54She'll die without his blood.
08:02Please.
08:22She'll die without his blood.
08:24I wish you were my mom sometimes.
08:40Lucas?
08:41Do you want a break?
08:42I can sit with Mia.
08:44No, no.
08:45The doctors told me you're responsible for tracking down a blood donor for Mia.
08:50Turns out, AB negative is super 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 without even caring about Mia?
09:08You deserve more.
09:09Does he even care?
09:16Maybe he still cares deep down after all.
09:20Lucas, I need to take Mia home after this.
09:23Of course.
09:26I'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, why did you call me home?
10:02If 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.
10:10And we invited some prestigious guests, including Dr. Wright.
10:15Who has apparently come out of her reclusive shell for this event.
10:20It's important that we all play nice.
10:23For 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.
10:39Mia.
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.
10:49You'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.
11:04But I am not sure how'd she feel about you.
11:06On that we may agree.
11:09I 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.
11:18And 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, 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.
12:00So 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, I know it's a knock-off.
12:12And 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.
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 get him.
12:52Oh, now I get it.
12:54You've found yourself a new man, and all of a sudden you want to divorce me.
13:00Mind your words.
13:02God, Tristan, not everyone is a cheater like you.
13:06We are done here.
13:07My lawyers will contact you for the proceedings.

14:03sophia's threats of divorce are going to completely steal focus from rider's party tomorrow
14:07perhaps there is another way to frame this the tragic devoted single father raising his genius

21:58that is far too generous
21:59your article on fractals
22:01and their implications on modern theories
22:03and quantum physics
22:04helped me discover a theory
22:05that has created technological advancements
22:08i never thought i'd see in my lifetime
22:09your early work offered me
22:11the essential tools i needed for my article
22:13i continue to use your theories
22:15on implementing esperanto
22:17as a universal language for our space program
22:19as the most logical form of communication
22:21should we ever make first contact
22:23wouldn't that be a lovely thing?
22:26dad
22:27what on earth could they be talking about with mom?

26:15thanks to you the national youth academics program at mit has produced many bona fide geniuses
26:20i'm i'm sorry do you two know each other?
26:23they must have met at a parent meeting
26:25please dr. roley
26:28it is kind of you to assume the child's mother had something to do with the incredible accomplishments rider has
26:33achieved at such an early age but i assure you
26:36why are you still here?
26:40i mean no disrespect
26:42director roley
26:45but you are only here because we invited you
26:48how dare you?
26:50i am only here because of dr. right
26:52without her there wouldn't even be a national youth academics program at mit
26:56this was created
27:00for her
27:02for her
27:04by her
27:06somebody please assure me this woman
27:09is not connected to this young man's development
27:13director roley
27:14rider 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
27:27that 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 own
28:30wife
28:30i must say that closeness feels a scooch more intimate than parent teacher
28:35are they having an affair?
28:38nonsense
28:38yes
28:39i'm ryder's teacher
28:41true
28:41i care for the miller family like they are my own
28:44but these accusations are just rumors
28:47sure
28:47we'll all believe you more than what we just saw with our own eyes
28:51didn't you like messing around with him?
28:53well
28:54he's all yours now
28:57here
29:01you want to embarrass me in front of everyone?
29:04you embarrass yourself
29:05you say i've been living a lie?
29:08look in the mirror you hypocrite
29:10stop pretending she's your girl
29:12and just go public with your relationship
29:14sure
29:15it's less scandalous
29:17but she's probably still fun all the same
29:19no?
29:19i am ryder's teacher
29:20he is my focus
29:22your problems with keeping your husband happy
29:24are your problems alone
29:26why don't you let me focus on ryder
29:29and you can try focusing on your husband for five minutes in this life
29:33ryder is my son
29:36you don't need to worry about him
29:38do you think he'd come to you or me
29:40if we both held out our hand right now?
29:43it's normal for a boy to want to impress his father
29:46tristan has taken advantage of that for his own selfish needs
29:50but i can help ryder
29:52get back on the right path
29:54ryder
29:56would you like to live with me?
29:58with mia?
29:59i only want the best for you
30:01you are my son
30:04i hate being your son
30:06i don't want to live with you
30:09i want miss prin to be my mother
30:11not you
30:12you are a liar
30:13and poor
30:14and...
30:15ryder, i'm not poor
30:16i come from a very wealthy family
30:19i just didn't want you to have to face the pressures i faced with that name
30:22if you are rich
30:22then i hate you for keeping this from me and living a lie
30:25if you are poor
30:26you are lying to me now
30:28either way your wish i came from anyone else but you
30:30if you did love me
30:32you'd die and disappear
30:33so i could move on to a better life
30:35did you hear that?
30:38ivy
30:38if you truly love ryder
30:40then leave him the hell alone
30:42i hate you
30:43i hate you
30:45my own son
30:48sees me as his enemy
30:54fine then
30:57ryder, as per your wishes, i will no longer consider you my son
31:01oh no
31:02how will ryder ever survive without you?
31:05once upon a time these people may have looked at your intellect as something to be admired
31:09but i assure you
31:11everyone will forget who you are when they see what i am capable of
31:15you may have my brain for mathematics
31:17languages 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
31:27i fear we've wasted your time
31:29while ryder has shown great promise in certain areas
31:32i fear he's a product of both his mother and father
31:35and he doesn't have the social skills or humanity worthy of this program
31:39i believe it would be best for the program to choose another prodigy
31:43as you wish
31:46what the actual pho?
31:48director roley, you must be mistaken
31:51sophia
31:52ivy
31:53i don't know what to call her anymore
31:55is deceptive and has been misleading people all of her life
31:58you claim to value academia above all else
32:02and 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?
32:10are you talking about wright industries?
32:14isaac and diana wright?
32:17who do you think sponsors our program?
32:20who do you think sponsors our program?
32:21you are hosting an event for the smartest and wealthiest people in the nation
32:25and you don't even know who any of them are?
32:27miss prinin
32:29you have accused me numerous times of living a life of lies
32:33and yet
32:34you're not actually a prinny, are you?
32:38is this true?
32:42so you knew
32:43i wasn't who i was all along?
32:46i'm literally one of the smartest people in the world
32:49wasn't hard to figure it out
32:50it wasn't hard to figure it out
32:52sign the divorce papers
32:54let's end this
32:55i'll need time
32:56of course to review these and ensure the proper elements are all in order
33:01property and asset division
33:02deaths and liabilities
33:05spousal support
33:06what are you saying?
33:07you're rich, right?
33:09i forgive you for everything
33:12we can work through this
33:13for the children
33:15you really had everyone fooled
33:17the secret to a great relationship is maintaining curiosity
33:21and i'll be damned if i am not curious as to where this is all going
33:25i agree
33:26i am curious too
33:28what kind of a mentor to your son would i be
33:31if i didn't help his parents find a way to stay together?
33:34what are you doing? this isn't right
33:37you said you wanted this too
33:39if you insist
33:41i guess we'll just have to split your assets in half
33:44you're not getting a single cent from my family
33:47i don't make the laws
33:50i just follow them
33:51you cheated
33:53legally you leave with nothing
33:55cheated?
33:56i've always been upfront and honest
33:59you're the one with the secret family and different names
34:01do you really want to play this out in court?
34:04you're lucky i'm only asking for half
34:07fine
34:09you want evidence?
34:15are you sure you want to do this?
34:21this medical report proves that scarlet is pregnant
34:24five weeks six days
34:26you two are about to have a child
34:28and you're still pretending to be strangers
34:33fake news
34:34fake news
34:35this is clearly ai
34:37that doesn't even look like me
34:39feels pretty real to me
34:41you've always wanted to be famous scarlet
34:44how do you like it now?
34:46ugh
34:47can't believe he did it with his son's mentor
34:51sign the divorce papers
34:52now
34:56you are despicable
34:57i won't sign this
34:59oh
35:01so you are willing to let scarlet's baby
35:04grow up as a bastard?
35:06tristan
35:07maybe
35:08we should sign
35:09rider is our future
35:12we have a
35:13a lot to think about here
35:15rider's mind is worth more than her inheritance
35:18she's right
35:20i 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?
35:38i don't know
35:39i had to give my lawyer everything i own
35:42to just stay out of jail
35:44what about rider now?
35:46who will take care of him?
35:48where's your mother?
35:50she left
35:50the moment we moved to this house
35:53rider's violin is worth at least 300,000
35:56we can buy him a new one once we're back on our feet
36:00sell it
36:01sell it yourself?
36:08do you like this piano mia?
36:10i love it mom
36:12but it's too costly
36:14i want to be the world's best pianist
36:17i won't let you down
36:18but i don't need fancy things
36:21rider
36:22do you want to play your latest consorto for your sister?
36:25i think she may prefer songs played on a kazoo
36:28i'd hate to overstimulate her fragile body
36:31or risk 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
36:41and is considered one of the finest violence ever made
36:48are you crazy?
36:49do you even know how much it costs?
36:51it doesn't matter
36:52you better compensate me for this
36:55or i'll call the police
36:57did you forget that i bought it?
36:59i have the receipt to prove it
37:00what about you?
37:02you can see it clearly now, don't you?
37:04without me, you can't even survive
37:15your new boyfriend is quite the violent man
37:17i'd be careful if i were you
37:19remember you are setting an example
37:20for that young daughter of yours
37:24thank you, lucas
37:27mr lucas, you are a smart man
37:29may i ask you a question?
37:31of course, mia
37:32what is it?
37:33my brother is smart
37:34very smart
37:35do you think if i work hard
37:36i could be that smart too?
37:37you are already a smart girl, darling
37:40in many ways smarter than your brother already
37:43but more importantly than being a smart girl
37:45i want you to be a happy girl
37:46mia, you're amazing
37:47i have every confidence your mother
37:49will give you everything you need
37:50to be happy in this life
37:52i am not sure this is a good idea
37:57do you have a better idea?
37:59ryder is her son
38:03why are you sneaking around in front of my house?
38:06your son can't afford his school
38:07and he needs money so he can continue on his path
38:09so that's why you're here?
38:11you need me?
38:13are you that desperate?
38:15you must be
38:17else why would you come here begging?
38:19come on
38:19it's for your kid
38:21i am pretty sure ryder made it clear
38:22he'd prefer it if scarlet was his mother
38:25scarlet, can you pre-slung this
38:27to money for their schooling?
38:29heartless bitch
38:31once ryder completes his dissertation
38:33he'll have offers from all the biggest companies in the world
38:35we don't need you or your money
38:38nothing would bring me greater joy
38:39and to see my children happy and successful
38:42let's go
38:54mom look
38:55straight A's again
38:56she's remarkable
38:57she's almost finished the high school curriculum
38:59this would be three full weeks earlier than her brother did it
39:02mia you are doing so well
39:04would you want to take the university entrance exams and consider some bigger paths?
39:08yes
39:08i want to be like mommy
39:10i want to make her proud
39:12you already do my darling every day

39:52i overheard you talking to your father on the phone earlier
39:54is everything okay?
39:55he is getting old
39:56he wants me to take over the company
39:58i am just not sure where to start
40:00i've been focused on my family and children for so long
40:02this phone contains the numbers of venture capitalists, strategists
40:05they will all be more than happy to guide you
40:07lucas
40:09thank you
40:10your happiness will always be what is most important to me
40:12why have i rejected him all of these years?
40:15he's always been the one person who truly cared about me
40:18after mia goes to bed, would you walk with me tonight?
40:21i'd love to get some fresh air and see the stars
40:24i'd like that too
40:31these aren't so bad, are they?
40:32pretty cheap and fresh
40:35look, is that ivy?
40:37let's go check it out
40:40well, well
40:41out all alone celebrating yourself with candles and flowers?
40:45no, you're not batshit crazy at all
40:46i knew it
40:48you love yourself so much you've decided to make it official
40:51and confess you are deeply in love with you and only you
40:56ivy
41:02i have found a way to love myself again
41:04and in doing so i've 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, i 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?
41:45i guess he'll have an easier time now that i've loosened you up for him
41:51nobody 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?
42:22she's going to be okay
42:25but i'm very sorry we couldn't save the baby
42:35you killed our child!
42:37you killed our child!
42:45scarlet
42:46i'm heartbroken too
42:48it 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?
43:02stop 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
43:17i 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 when you were
44:00planning this night?
44:02i feel like you've always been there for me when i need you most
44:06ivy
44:07i want to always be there for you when you need me most
44:11you really went all out with the flowers tonight
44:13ivy
44:15i want us to be together
44:19i have two children with a nightmare of a father
44:21i'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
44:28the choices i've made
44:30the life i've created should appeal to you
44:32ivy
44:34every ounce of your essence appeals to me
44:36that 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
44:43lucas
44:44i'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
44:51i 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 yourself
44:58i'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
45:05i like being there for you
45:06and for this to ever work i need to know i can be there for you and my children too
45:11ivy
45:12i've waited for this for a long time
45:14and i'd spend the rest of my days waiting if that's what it takes
45:16i want us to be together
45:17but when you're ready
45:18and never sooner nor a minute later
45:24you lost our house
45:26you lost our baby
45:27and now can't even find the remote control
45:29kristen
45:30are you here just to make my life even harder
45:32i've given up everything for you
45:34in fact your pregnancy fast-tracked my divorce to ivy
45:36you were gonna leave her anyway
45:39why do you keep bringing her up
45:41do you want her back is that it
45:43no
45:44no
45:44no
45:48shut up
45:48both of you
45:49stop fighting
45:52all right
45:52we'll stop fighting
45:54as you can see we are all willing to invest everything we have in you my son
45:58you are our future
45:59you are the future for all of us
46:03rider sweetheart we are all counting on you
46:05this upcoming american scholarship program 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 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 rider
46:38miller
46:38he is always impressive and we all predict him to be at the top when the results are announced
46:44i could get used to this
46:48this is just the beginning
46:50once rider's results are announced this will be our daily life
46:54today 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
47:03dr ivy wright
47:18an interesting development in recent weeks is that dr wright has both of her children her son rider and her
47:24daughter mia
47:25compete in the exams one week ago
47:28mia? really? this is why DEI programs don't work
47:34what a joke! is she gonna fill out her forms in crayon?
47:39unbelievable
47:40is this some make a wish thing?
47:43everyone is here for rider
47:46why do you insist on embarrassing yourself and our children?
47:50wrong
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
48:02i think rider is going to be fine
48:05once the results confirm rider as the top candidate
48:09do not try to steal his spotlight with all of the i'm his mommy nonsense
48:13this is his day not yours
48:16if your intellect matched your overconfidence you might actually be dangerous
48:20i love how you never let facts or reality get in the way of your opinions
48:24it's actually quite fascinating
48:26ladies and gentlemen if everyone could please take their seats
48:30we will shortly be announcing the results of this year's competition
48:34should rider 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 rider miller
48:57in the math event
48:59five points
49:01in the literature event
49:04five points
49:05and five points in the languages event
49:12together with the remaining events
49:14rider has scored a total of twenty points
49:17rider would unfortunately be disqualified from the program
49:21that's impossible
49:22you must have the wrong name on the forms
49:25rider is a child prodigy
49:28ouch
49:30feels a little low
49:32even for rider
49:33you've been a distraction and likely the reason he couldn't focus
49:36and now the results for mia miller
49:38she has scored a hundred and fifty points in the next event
49:40a perfect score
49:42a hundred and fifty points in literature
49:44and a hundred and fifty points in languages
49:50that is a record which will never be broken
49:52i'm not sure her own mother would have scored that high
49:58dr. right
49:59mia's results were off the charts
50:02mr. miller you must be so proud of your daughter
50:06sure rider didn't fare as well as anyone thought but
50:10i can't let this end like this
50:14you
50:15you have all been kept in the dark
50:18i 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
50:28is there a reason why rider scored so low
50:30rider miller the biological son of dr ivy wright
50:34was so traumatized by his mother's infidelities and abandonment
50:37he was competing in these events under incredible duress
50:41she has taunted him in recent weeks
50:43parading around with her scandalous boyfriend
50:46and routinely abandoning him
50:48no you left me
50:51you cheated on me
50:52i did nothing wrong
50:54you never have taken any accountability for anything have you
50:59you even pretended to be someone else
51:01to trick me
51:02into marrying you
51:03my son
51:06deserves another chance
51:08she took everything from us
51:12rider and i were left with nothing
51:14he's just a child
51:16what kind of kid could survive that level of humiliation
51:19these are all lies
51:21is that right
51:23sofia
51:25or is it ivy
51:27are you even able to keep it straight
51:28you have convinced rider i am his enemy
51:32for years now
51:33you give me too much credit
51:36is there any child who doesn't want his mother
51:40tristan miller
51:41i thought i warned you about this already
51:45right
51:46on schedule
51:48this is the man who has destroyed our family
51:50and helped rider's mother to crush his future
51:53and what is your connection to the miller family
51:55how do you know dr right
51:58are you really her lover
51:59yes
52:01but this is all recent
52:03after ivy divorced her husband
52:04after we found him cheating on her with miss scarlet here
52:08liar
52:10we've all seen the video tristan
52:11your lies end today
52:14you did everything in your power to make me leave
52:17and every time i tried to protect our children from our lies
52:20you turned them against me
52:22you made my own child
52:25my son wish he could be raised by another woman
52:31rider
52:33how do you feel about all of this
52:34do you feel your mother abandoned you
52:37i don't like that woman
52:39i prefer miss prinin
52:41she's been more of a mother to me than anyone else in this world
52:44she's always been more like a mother than a tutor to me
52:47when my father would take me to academic camps
52:50she'd find a way to be there
52:52even when my own mother wasn't there
52:54she would even save my family money on these trips
52:57by sleeping in the same bed as my father
53:00so we didn't need a second room
53:03the boy is confused i did not sleep
53:06in the same bed as his father
53:08why would you say that
53:10my son is a genius
53:12but his road has not been easy
53:15he was raised by a mother who spins webs of lies
53:17and can't always tell fact from fiction
53:19as you can see
53:21her deceptive ways continue to haunt the poor boy
53:25she's jealous of her son
53:27she tried to hide who she was
53:29and now she's trying to hide who he can be
53:32this is a pattern
53:33nobody is buying any of this tristan
53:35good because i am not selling anything
53:38i am just stating facts
53:40in some parts of this world things like the truth and honesty still mean something
53:44i couldn't agree more
53:50isn't that mr baker
53:52writer's sponsor
53:53didn't he fund the kids training and examination charges
53:55i am glad you are here mr baker
53:57are you sure
53:59there have been some concerns raised about ethics and trust of this program sir
54:03really? you are the one to talk about ethics?
54:09i didn't catch it at first
54:10in fact i didn't catch it at all
54:12it was professors Seton, Myers and Durden who brought it to my attention
54:17i don't understand
54:18while you are undoubtedly one of the least intelligent people in this room
54:22i highly suspect this is something you do actually understand
54:26do you remember why i agreed to sponsor your son?
54:29it was because of his scores in the last three qualifying exams
54:32there were three qualifying tests in the last month
54:37that your son passed with flying colors
54:40before 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
54:50are you saying writer's test results were faked?
54:53so this has all been a deceptive ploy
54:55i poured a lot of money into your son
54:58you had me convinced
55:00this young man was a path to a promising future for all of us
55:05mr. baker this is all a misunderstanding
55:09this is the contract you signed
55:13i think you know where this is going
55:20what is it?
55:21according to this contract
55:23if you were to breach its terms
55:25or in other words
55:27if you were to commit fraud
55:28you would owe me a compensation of forty million dollars
55:33i don't have that kind of money
55:34you better find it
55:36as the alternative is much worse
55:38how did you let this happen?
55:41me?
55:42you're the one who said nobody would ever find out
55:45that'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
55:51i hate you
55:53don't be angry mom
55:55i am not your mom
55:57get lost
55:58i hate you too
56:00i 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
56:10and make this a criminal matter
56:15ivy
56:16please
56:18for the boy
56:20this isn't rider's debt
56:21or fault
56:22this is on you
56:24what you have done has violated not only our vows
56:28but your responsibility to your children
