In the Shadow of Ivy Wright
Transcript
00:09Congratulations, Dr. Ivy Wright, a generational talent.
00:13At 18 years old, she earned her Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard.
00:19Five years ago, I went by my birth name, Ivy Wright, a celebrated mathematician.
00:32Ivy, this is for you.
00:35So what's next in life of a genius mathematician?
00:39Thanks, Lucas.
00:41Well, I met someone this past summer. It was so freeing, so different.
00:48He saw me as a normal woman. I didn't have to speak about my brains or the family I come
00:53from.
00:53Are you sure? You just got your Ph.D. in mathematics from Harvard.
00:57You know, math has always been easy for me, but the life I've been living, it's quite empty.
01:03All this recognition feels like a burden.
01:08I want a family, Lucas. I am not sure I can ever have that if I am always living in
01:13the shadow of Ivy Wright.
01:14You're not in the shadow of Ivy Wright.
01:19You are Ivy Wright.
01:20I know, but I want to fall in love, get married, and live a simple happy life.
01:31Ironically, the life of academia I tried to leave behind has found me once more through my son.
01:37Ryder, at the age five, is ranked highest in International Math Olympiad.
01:43What's it like living with a generational genius?
01:46In everyone's eyes, I am just simple housewife.
01:49I just hope this pressure is easier on my son than it was on me.
01:53Ryder, who do you credit most for your incredible intellect?
02:00Ouch!
02:01Hey!
02:03The kid? He bit his mom? Did you see that?
02:09I want to thank my dad and my mentor, Ms. Prentin.
02:13I have inherited my dad's incredible genes, and I am grateful for the guidance I got from this scarlet print.
02:24Everyone hungry?
02:31Ms. Prentin, you can join us, too.
02:41Come on, Sophia, let's not be selfish.
02:44This is Ryder's Day.
02:45Let him sit with his father and tutor to enjoy the moment.
02:48You, too, can eat the leftovers after we are done.
03:00This is a special day for Ryder.
03:03They are just caught up in the excitement.
03:06More!
03:08You've worked up quite an appetite.
03:10Let his sister do it.
03:12Her brother is a genius and will change all of our fortunes.
03:16And it would be better for Mia to learn all this at a young age.
03:19Yes, Grandma.
03:23Ryder!
03:25Why are you yelling at Ryder?
03:27Mia is the Kluds who dropped the bowl.
03:30This mess isn't going to clean itself.
03:33Ryder, I'm your mother.
03:35Who taught you to behave like this?
03:37It's a joke.
03:39Lighten up.
03:40Why are you always such a buzzkill?
03:42Why are you eating?
03:44How much is it just simple?
03:46If you want to see it, you can't be a clown.
03:51To fund a family,
03:54we don't have a genius.
03:56We have a enthusiasm.
04:07Is this a disease that has caused my asthma?
04:12Your first woman, it's like your first woman. It's great to see you as if you were a kid.
04:19That's why no one doesn't keep her first woman.
04:23And that's what you said to me.
04:26I had no idea you spoke French.
04:29Have a proof of respect, woman.
04:32Ryder, I am your mother.
04:35Do you really think it's okay to talk?
04:37Why does this thing talk so much?
04:39Can't it shut up?
04:40Come on. Ryder achieved something incredible today.
04:44Let him have his fun. Don't be so fragile.
04:47She's so annoying.
04:48If you are so determined to spoil Ryder's day, then perhaps you should leave.
04:55Fine. We are leaving.
04:58Tristan, your wife is leaving you. Aren't you gonna stop her?
05:03No need. They have nowhere to go.
05:07They'll be back.
05:12I gave up everything for a family and this is what they gave me in return.
05:16How could they do this to me? How could they do this to Mia?
05:21Tristan, how did things change so quickly?
05:24You are not the same man I married.
05:26Mom, it's my fault. I ruined Ryder's special day.
05:33No, sweetheart. You aren't to blame for any of this.
05:36You were right. Your brother was being mean and I should have done something about it.
05:53She's lost a lot of blood. She needs surgery immediately.
05:57Her blood type is AB negative and without a donor I fear the surgery will be too risky.
06:03Mommy?
06:04Mommy? Am I going to die?
06:06No, sweetheart. Mommy's here. Nothing will happen to you.
06:16Ryder, you're here. Your sister needs you. You have the same AB negative blood.
06:21I am busy. Leave me alone.
06:25Ryder.
06:26Enough. These are more than games. These are to keep his mind sharp.
06:32Tristan, this is his sister's life.
06:35You overreact for everything. She got hurt because you were careless. Why not offer your own blood?
06:41My blood isn't a match.
06:44Why is everything always about you?
06:47She doesn't have a lot of time. She might not make it.
06:56What did you say?
06:57She's lost a lot of blood and she's fallen into a coma.
07:00We need to find a donor within an hour. It's our only hope.
07:04Tristan, Ryder listens to you. Please, you have to help.
07:08Alright, that's enough.
07:11After all, I am her father.
07:14Stop always trying to make me the bad guy.
07:16Your sister can't wait any longer. Go.
07:19Wait. Mia's in a coma because she's lost too much blood.
07:23Now you want me to lose mine too?
07:25What?
07:27That's not me.
07:29I'm your mom.
07:35Hold on.
07:37My grandson is a genius.
07:39I won't allow any Tom, Dick, Harry to get his blood. It has his DNA in it.
07:44This isn't for anyone. This is for his sister. His blood has nothing to do with his intellect.
07:50So you're a doctor now?
07:51You know this for a fact. You coddle that poor girl and are always trying to have her piggyback off
07:57Ryder's accomplishments.
07:58But this? I can't forgive this.
08:01Please. She'll die without his blood.
08:24Ms. Prynne, thank you for coming over. Ryder really likes you.
08:28i'd do anything for him you're so nice i wish you were my mom sometimes
08:49lucas do you want a break i can sit with mia no no the doctors told me you're responsible
08:56for tracking down a blood donor for mia turns out ab negative is super rare but it's something me and
09:04i have in common how can i ever repay you don't be like that i am always happy to help
09:10i heard what
09:12happened with tristan and rider how could they leave like that without even caring about mia
09:17you deserve more does he even care
09:25maybe he still cares deep down after all lucas i need to take mia home after this
09:32of course i'll drive you home
09:49what are you doing
09:56what were you doing aren't you ashamed do you want to sleep with him enough
10:09tristan why did you call me home if you were only going to insult me with this
10:14i called you because the dishes aren't going to clean by themselves and tomorrow we are throwing
10:19rider a party and we invited some prestigious guests including dr right who has apparently
10:27come out of her reclusive shell for this event it's important that we all play nice for rider's benefit
10:34and future if things go well who knows perhaps dr right may even consider taking our son on as her
10:41student since you are so busy planning rider's party by sleeping with her you might not have
10:46found the time to ask about your daughter mia we were able to find a donor she is waiting
10:54downstairs in the car to see her father i knew she'd be all right you're always overreacting
11:00what makes you think dr right would work with rider you don't even know dr right trust me
11:07i know dr right you do well i know her type believe me she'll want to work with rider but
11:14i am
11:15not sure how'd she feel about you on that we may agree i am not sure dr right would even
11:20know who i am
11:21at all you were so different when we met as soon as we had kids you ignored me and they
11:26become
11:27your focus and once i focused more on the kids you became jealous and so bitchy kid kid
11:35you only focused on rider that too after i proved he had the intellect to become a genius
11:42you always acted like mia was never born did you ever really love us
11:53fine if that's how it is then i want a divorce
11:56a divorce how will you live everything you have everything you are is because of me there would
12:03be no sophia miller if it weren't for me you're right you are the reason sophie miller exists so
12:10let's relieve you and the world from this burden take back the things you gave to give her life
12:19this cheap cardigan i know it's a knockoff and these pearls
12:25you bought your mother gold and gave your own wife plastic
12:31are you finished no but we are
12:45i'm leaving you we're done my feelings for you made me blind to who you really are
12:50they made me blind to who i really am
13:04ah now i get it you found yourself a new man and all of a sudden you want to divorce

14:11i'll have the divorce papers drawn up tomorrow
14:16sophia's threats of divorce are going to completely steal focus from rider's party tomorrow
14:20perhaps there is another way to frame this the tragic devoted single father raising his genius
14:26child on his own maybe you'll become a bigger part of rider's story

27:38writer was nurtured at every step
27:40by me
27:41we are all here today because of the work he and i did together
27:44you think you offered more to this day than the boy's own mother
27:49a woman with an academic reputation that has the sharpest minds in the country gathered to meet her child
27:55you have it all wrong
27:57she has spent all of her time trying to coddle and soft the boy
28:02i am the one who has honed in on his intellectual side that woman may be the world's greatest con
28:07artist but i can assure you she isn't an intellectual she's a moron
28:12why do sounds keep exploding from your mouth when you never offer anything valuable to a conversation
28:19and like that scarlet is speechless
28:23i didn't think it was possible
28:24you have already proven yourself to be a master of deception
28:28is this how you found favor with the director
28:33did you worm your way into his bed
28:38is that the only play in your playbook
28:43apologize
28:45now
28:46she looks like she's in good hands
28:49weird to see a man hold his child teacher closer and with more affection than he's ever held his own
28:55wife
28:55i must say that closeness feels a scooch more intimate than parent teacher
29:00are they having an affair
29:03nonsense
29:04i'm ryder's teacher
29:06true
29:06i care for the miller family like they are my own
29:09but these accusations are just rumors
29:12sure
29:12we'll all believe you more than what we just saw with our own eyes
29:16didn't you like messing around with him
29:18well
29:19he's all yours now
29:22here
29:27you want to embarrass me in front of everyone
29:29you embarrass yourself
29:31you say i've been living a lie
29:33look in the mirror you hypocrite
29:36stop pretending she's your girl
29:38and just go public with your relationship
29:40sure
29:42it's less scandalous
29:43but she's probably still fun all the same
29:45no
29:45i am ryder's teacher
29:46he is my focus
29:48your problems with keeping your husband happy
29:51are your problems alone
29:52why don't you let me focus on ryder
29:55and you can try focusing on your husband
29:58for five minutes in this life
30:00ryder is my son
30:03you don't need to worry about him
30:05do you think he'd come to you or me
30:06if we both held out our hand right now
30:09it's normal for a boy to want to impress his father
30:13tristan has taken advantage of that for his own selfish needs
30:16but i can help ryder
30:18get back on the right path
30:21ryder
30:22would you like to live with me
30:25with mia
30:25i only want the best for you
30:27you are my son
30:31i hate being your son
30:33i don't want to live with you
30:35i want miss prin to be my mother
30:37not you
30:39you are a liar
30:40and poor
30:41and
30:41ryder i'm not poor
30:42i come from a very wealthy family
30:45i just didn't want you to have to face the pressures i faced with that name
30:48if you are rich
30:49then i hate you for keeping this from me and living a lie
30:51if you are poor
30:52you are lying to me now
30:54either way your wish i came from anyone else but you
30:57if you did love me
30:59you'd die and disappear
31:00so i could move on to a better life
31:02did you hear that
31:04ivy
31:05if you truly love ryder
31:07then leave him the hell alone
31:08i hate you
31:10i hate you
31:12my own son
31:15sees me as his enemy
31:22fine then
31:25ryder as per your wishes
31:26i will no longer consider you my son
31:28oh no
31:30how will ryder ever survive without you
31:33once upon a time
31:34these people may have looked at your intellect as something to be admired
31:38but i assure you
31:40everyone will forget who you are when they see what i am capable of
31:43you may have my brain for mathematics
31:46languages and music
31:48but you are definitely your father's son when it comes to empty bluster and spiteful verbal diarrhea
31:54my apologies andrew
31:56i fear we've wasted your time
31:58while ryder has shown great promise in certain areas
32:01i fear he's a product of both his mother and father and he doesn't have the social skills or humanity
32:07worthy of this program
32:08i believe it would be best for the program to choose another prodigy
32:12as you wish
32:14what the actual pho
32:16director roley you must be mistaken
32:20sophia
32:20ivy
32:21i don't know what to call her anymore is deceptive and has been misleading people all of her life
32:26you claim to value academia above all else
32:31and yet you never realized you were married to the smartest woman of our time
32:36and that she is also the only child of isaac and diana wright
32:39are you talking about wright industries
32:43isaac and diana wright
32:46who do you think sponsors our program
32:49you are hosting an event for the smartest and wealthiest people in the nation
32:53and you don't even know who any of them are
32:56miss prinin
32:58you have accused me numerous times of living a life of lies
33:02and yet
33:03you're not actually a prinny are you
33:06is this true
33:11so you knew
33:13i wasn't who i was all along
33:15i'm literally one of the smartest people in the world
33:18wasn't hard to figure it out
33:21sign the divorce papers
33:23let's end this
33:25i'll need time
33:26of course to review these and ensure the proper elements are all in order
33:31property and asset division
33:32debts and liabilities
33:34spousal support
33:36what are you saying
33:37you're rich right
33:39i forgive you for everything
33:41we can work through this
33:43for the children
33:45you really had everyone fooled
33:47the secret to a great relationship is maintaining curiosity
33:51and i'll be damned if i am not curious as to where this is all going
33:55i agree
33:56i am curious too
33:58what kind of a mentor to your son would i be
34:01if i didn't help his parents find a way to stay together
34:03what are you doing this isn't right
34:07you said you wanted this too
34:09if you insist
34:11i guess we'll just have to split your assets in half
34:14you're not getting a single cent from my family
34:17i don't make the laws
34:20i just follow them
34:21you cheated
34:23legally you leave with nothing
34:25cheated?
34:26i've always been upfront and honest
34:28you're the one with the secret family and different names
34:32do you really want to play this out in court?
34:34you're lucky i'm only asking for half
34:37fine
34:39you want evidence?
34:45are you sure you want to do this?
34:51this medical report proves that scarlet is pregnant
34:54five weeks six days
34:56you two are about to have a child
34:58and you're still pretending to be strangers
35:03fake news
35:05this is clearly ai
35:06that doesn't even look like me
35:09feels pretty real to me
35:11you've always wanted to be famous scarlet
35:14how do you like it now?
35:16ugh
35:17can't believe he did it with his son's mentor
35:20sign the divorce papers
35:22now
35:25you are despicable
35:27i won't sign this
35:28oh
35:30so you are willing to let scarlet's baby
35:33grow up as a bastard?
35:36tristan
35:36maybe
35:37we should sign
35:39rider is our future
35:41we have a
35:42a lot to think about here
35:45rider's mind is worth more than her inheritance
35:48she's right
35:49i can't keep begging her like this
35:51rider can make twice more money than what her family has
35:55we'll see
36:01i didn't know sofia could be so ruthless
36:04how did she even find out about you embezzling money from your company?
36:07i don't know
36:09i had to give my lawyer everything i owned
36:12to just stay out of jail
36:14what about rider now?
36:16who will take care of him?
36:18where's your mother?
36:20she left the moment we moved to this house
36:23rider's violin is worth at least 300,000
36:26we can buy him a new one once we're back on our feet
36:30sell it
36:31sell it yourself
36:39do you like this piano mia?
36:41i love it mom
36:43but it's too costly
36:45i want to be the world's best pianist
36:48i won't let you down
36:49but i don't need fancy things
36:52rider
36:53do you want to play your latest consorto for your sister?
36:56i think she may prefer songs played on a kazoo
36:59i'd hate to overstimulate her fragile body or
37:03risk upsetting the delicate blood type of hers
37:06with anything too sophisticated
37:09that's the violin i bought for rider
37:11it was imported from germany
37:13and is considered one of the finest violents ever made
37:19are you crazy?
37:21do you even know how much it costs?
37:23it doesn't matter
37:24you better compensate me for this
37:27or i'll call the police
37:28did you forget that i bought it?
37:31i have the receipt to prove it
37:32what about you?
37:33you can see it clearly now don't you?
37:36without me you can't even survive
37:48your new boyfriend is quite the violent man
37:50i'd be careful if i were you
37:51remember you are setting an example
37:53for that young daughter of yours
37:56thank you lucas
38:00mr lucas

38:04what is it?
38:05my brother is smart
38:06very smart
38:07do you think if i work hard

38:20i have every confidence your mother will give you
38:22everything you need to be happy in this life
38:28i am not sure this is a good idea
38:30do you have a better idea?
38:32rider is her son
38:36why are you sneaking around in front of my house?
38:39your son can't afford his schooling
38:40and needs money so he can continue on his path
38:42so that's why you're here?
38:44you need me?

38:54i am pretty sure wider made it clear
38:55he'd prefer it if scarlet was his mother
38:58scarlet?
38:58can you pre as long as your money for their schooling?
39:02heartless bitch
39:04once rider completes his dissertation
39:06he'll have offers from all the biggest companies in the world
39:08we don't need you or your money
39:11nothing would bring me greater joy

40:44your happiness will always be what is most important to me

41:26and confess you are deeply in love with you
41:28and only you
41:31ivy
41:38i have found a way to love myself again
41:39and in doing so i've finally opened up
41:41to having others love me for who i really am
41:48you gotta be careful around men looking for sloppy seconds
41:50and women who do the same
41:53you bitch
41:54the ink isn't even dry on our divorce papers
41:56and you're already seeing someone else
41:58you are such an ignorant hypocrite
42:03ivy
42:04i know these ecuadorian roses are your favorite
42:07i had them shipped in from paris
42:08that is so thoughtful
42:10i do like occasionally like to indulge in the finer things in life
42:17do you really think this whatever he is supposed to be can make you happy?
42:21i guess he'll have an easier time now that i've loosened you up for him
42:27nobody speaks to her like that
42:28ow see i told you he was violent
42:32stop it
42:33stop fighting
42:40ah i'm bleeding
42:43i'm bleeding
42:59how is she?
43:00she's going to be okay
43:02but i'm very sorry we couldn't save the baby
43:12you killed our child
43:22scarlet
43:24i'm heartbroken too
43:25but it was an accident
43:27it doesn't matter if you did it on purpose or not
43:31it's all your fault
43:35scarlet
43:35the one who should really be blamed is ivy
43:37if she hadn't pushed me would things have turned physical?
43:39stop blaming her for everything
43:40this is a hundred percent on you
43:42you are always running from responsibility
43:46how did i not see you were a terrible father?
43:48how you've already abandoned your daughter and now our baby
43:50the baby didn't even have a name
43:52you weren't even in your second trimester
43:54i am sad too but we can make another one
43:56and the child we need to focus on most is still rider
44:02i swear you love that child more than you've loved any woman
44:07i apologize if i've ever given anyone the impression otherwise
44:11rider is your child with ivy
44:13i wanted one that was our own
44:15so you've never considered rider your son at all
44:19i have always loved that child like my own
44:22but no matter what you do he'll always be a reminder of her
44:33why do i feel like you didn't have running into tristan and scarlet
44:36on your bingo card when you were planning this night?
44:40i feel like you've always been there for me when i need you most
44:43ivy
44:45i want to always be there for you when you need me most
44:48you really went all out with the flowers tonight
44:51ivy
44:51ivy
44:53i want us to be together
44:57i have two children with a nightmare of a father
45:00i've been dismissive of my potential
45:02i think you've always been exactly who you needed to be at the time
45:05nothing about what i've done
45:07the choices i've made
45:08the life i've created should appeal to you
45:11ivy
45:12every ounce of your essence appeals to me
45:14that wouldn't be fair to you
45:16hiding my feelings and not asserting myself earlier
45:19is what has been unfair to me
45:20and you
45:22lucas i've been so focused on being a mother being a wife
45:25i've stopped focusing on what it also means to be me
45:28i'm not sure i am ready to start a new relationship
45:30i wouldn't want to lose myself again
45:31i wouldn't ever want any version of you
45:33that wasn't the most truthful and self-loving version of yourself
45:37i'm not worthy of you right now
45:39right now i'm in a place where i've needed you to save me countless times
45:43i like being there for you
45:44and for this to ever work i need to know i can be there for you and my children too
45:49ivy
45:51i've waited for this for a long time
45:52and i'd spend the rest of my days waiting if that's what it takes
45:55i want us to be together but when you're ready
45:57and never sooner nor a minute later
46:03you lost our house
46:04you lost our baby
46:06and now we can't even find the remote control
46:08kristen
46:08are you here just to make my life even harder
46:10i've given up everything for you
46:12in fact your pregnancy fast-tracked my divorce to idy
46:15you were gonna leave her anyway
46:18why do you keep bringing her up
46:19do you want her back
46:20is that it
46:26shut up both of you
46:28stop fighting
46:30all right
46:31we'll stop fighting
46:32as you can see we are all willing to invest everything we have in you my son
46:37you are our future
46:38you are the future for all of us
46:42rider sweetheart we are all counting on you
46:44this upcoming american scholarship program is a chance to show that ungrateful mother of yours
46:48how great you truly are
46:49do well there and we will live a life that none of us have even imagined
46:59today is the day we announce the results of the qualifying tests for the american scholarship program
47:08welcome everyone
47:12if you will turn your attention to the main aisle you will see one of this year's top participants
47:17rider miller he is always impressive and we all predict him to be at the top when the results are
47:22announced
47:24i could get used to this
47:28this is just the beginning
47:30once rider's results are announced this will be our daily life
47:34today we are also honored to welcome a very special guest
47:38she is the founder of this amazing program and one of the sharpest minds of our time
47:42dr ivy wright
47:57an interesting development in recent weeks is that dr wright has both of her children her son rider and her
48:04daughter mia compete in the exams one week ago
48:10is this is why DEI programs don't work
48:14this is why DEI programs don't work
48:14what a joke
48:15is she gonna fill out her forms in crayon
48:18unbelievable
48:20is this some make-a-wish thing
48:22everyone is here for rider
48:25why do you insist on embarrassing yourself and our children
48:30wrong
48:32everyone is here to see the new candidates who are selected in the american scholarship program
48:39I just hope your rider can keep up with all this pressure
48:42I think rider is going to be fine
48:45once the results confirm rider as the top candidate
48:49do not try to steal his spotlight with all of the I'm his mommy nonsense
48:53this is his day not yours
48:56if your intellect matched your overconfidence you might actually be dangerous
49:01I love how you never let facts or reality get in the way of your opinions
49:04it's actually quite fascinating
49:07ladies and gentlemen if everyone could please take their seats
49:10we will shortly be announcing the results of this year's competition
49:15should rider sit with us or up there with you
49:19what makes more sense so it is easiest for him to make his speech
49:27the results for rider miller
49:35in the math event
49:37five points
49:39in the literature event
49:42five points
49:44and five points in the languages event
49:50together with the remaining events rider has scored a total of 20 points
49:55rider would unfortunately be disqualified from the program
49:59that's impossible
50:00you must have the wrong name on the forms
50:04rider is a child prodigy
50:07ouch
50:08feels a little low
50:10even for rider
50:12you've been a distraction and likely the reason he couldn't focus
50:15and now the results for mia miller she has scored 150 points in the max event
50:19a perfect score
50:21150 points in literature and 150 points in languages
50:29that is a record which will never be broken
50:31i'm not sure her own mother would have scored that high
50:37dr. wright
50:38nia's results were off the charts
50:41mr miller you must be so proud of your daughter
50:45sure rider didn't fare as well as anyone thought but
50:49i can't let this end like this
50:53you
50:54you have all been kept in the dark
50:57i can't believe it
50:59there have been things clearly kept from you
51:05mr miller what exactly is it that you are trying to say
51:08is there a reason why rider scored so low
51:10rider miller the biological son of dr ivy wright
51:14was so traumatized by his mother's infidelities and abandonment
51:17he was competing in these events under incredible duress
51:21she has taunted him in recent weeks
51:23parading around with her scandalous boyfriend
51:26and routinely abandoning him
51:28no you left me
51:31you cheated on me
51:32i did nothing wrong
51:34you never have taken any accountability for anything have you
51:39you even pretended to be someone else
51:41to trick me
51:43into marrying you
51:44my son
51:46deserves another chance
51:48she took everything from us
51:52rider and i were left with nothing
51:55he's just a child
51:56what kind of kid could survive that level of humiliation
51:59these are all lies
52:01is that right
52:04sophia
52:05or is it ivy
52:06are you even able to keep it straight
52:09you have convinced rider i am his enemy
52:12for years now
52:14you give me too much credit
52:17is there any child who doesn't want his mother
52:20tristan miller
52:22i thought i warned you about this already
52:27right
52:27on schedule
52:29this is the man who has destroyed our family
52:32and helped rider's mother to crush his future
52:34and what is your connection to the miller family
52:37how do you know dr right
52:39are you really her lover
52:41yes
52:42but this is all recent
52:44after ivy divorced her husband
52:46after we found him cheating on her with miss scarlet here
52:50liar
52:51we've all seen the video tristan
52:53your lies end today
52:56you did everything in your power to make me leave
52:58and every time i tried to protect our children from our lies
53:02you turned them against me
53:04you made my own child
53:07my son
53:08wish he could be raised by another woman
53:13rider
53:14how do you feel about all of this
53:16do you feel your mother abandoned you
53:19i don't like that woman
53:21i prefer miss prinin
53:23she's been more of a mother to me than anyone else in this world
53:27she's always been more like a mother than a tutor to me
53:29when my father would take me to academic camps
53:33she'd find a way to be there
53:34even when my own mother wasn't there
53:36she would even save my family money on these trips
53:40by sleeping in the same bed as my father
53:42so we didn't need a second room
53:45the boy is confused i did not sleep
53:48in the same bed as his father
53:50why would you say that
53:52my son is a genius
53:55but his road has not been easy
53:57he was raised by a mother
53:58who spins webs of lies
53:59and can't always tell fact from fiction
54:01as you can see
54:04her deceptive ways
54:05continue to haunt the poor boy
54:08she's jealous
54:09of her son
54:10she tried to hide who she was
54:12and now she's trying to hide who he can be
54:14this is a pattern
54:16nobody is buying any of this tristan
54:18good
54:19because i am not selling anything
54:21i am just stating facts
54:22in some parts of this world
54:24things like the truth and honesty
54:26still mean something
54:26i couldn't agree more
54:33isn't that mr baker
54:35writer's sponsor
54:36didn't he fund the kids training
54:38and examination charges
54:39i am glad you are here mr baker
54:41are you sure
54:42there have been some concerns raised
54:44about ethics and trust of this program sir
54:47really
54:48you are the one to talk about ethics
54:52i didn't catch it at first
54:54in fact i didn't catch it at all
54:56it was professors seaton myers and durden
54:59who brought it to my attention
55:00i don't understand
55:01while you are undoubtedly one of the least intelligent people in this room
55:05i highly suspect this is something you do actually understand
55:09do you remember why i agreed to sponsor your son
55:13it was because of his scores in the last three qualifying exams
55:16there were three qualifying tests in the last month
55:20that your son passed with flying colors
55:24before he could appear for this exam
55:26turns out you faked your son's grades in all the three exams
55:31and did a convincing job that even fooled me
55:34are you saying writer's test results were faked
55:37so this has all been a deceptive ploy
55:39i poured a lot of money into your son
55:42you had me convinced
55:44this young man was a path to a promising future for all of us
55:49mr baker this is all a misunderstanding
55:53this is the contract you signed
55:57i think you know where this is going
56:04what is it
56:06according to this contract
56:08if you were to breach its terms
56:10or in other words
56:12if you were to commit fraud
56:13you would owe me a compensation of 40 million dollars
56:17i don't have that kind of money
56:20you better find it
56:21as the alternative is much worse
56:23how did you let this happen
56:26me?
56:27you're the one who said nobody would ever find out
56:30that's the problem with trying to outsmart people smarter than you
56:33if either of you were smarter
56:35you'd have realized how dumb your plan was
56:36i hate you
56:38don't be angry mom
56:40i am not your mom
56:42get lost
56:43i hate you too
56:45i hate all of you
56:49if you don't give me an answer here mr miller

56:55and make this a criminal matter
