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?
04:04No, no, no, no.
04:08Why are you talking about it?
04:09I'm not sure if you're talking about it.
04:15You're really trying to get the focus.
04:16How many people do you feel?
04:19You're not the same?
04:21You're not the same.
04:21I had no idea you spoke French.
04:24They proved respect him.
04:27Ryder, I am your mother.
04:30Do you really think it's okay to talk?
04:32Why does this thing talk so much?
04:35Can'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.
04:51Fine. We are leaving.
04:55Tristan, your wife is leaving you.
04:57Aren't you going to stop her?
04:59No need. They have nowhere to go.
05:02They'll be back.
05:06I gave up everything for a family,
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.
05:47She's lost a lot of blood.
05:49She needs surgery immediately.
05:51Her blood type is AB negative,
05:53and without a donor,
05:53I fear the surgery will be too risky.
05:57Mommy, am 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.
06:55Within an hour, it's our only hope.
06:57Tristan, Ryder listens to you.
06:59Please, you have to help.
07:01All right, that's enough.
07:04After all, I am her father.
07:07Stop always trying to make me the bad guy.
07:09Your sister can't wait any longer.
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.
07:37This 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
07:47and are always trying to have her piggyback off Ryder's accomplishments.
07:51But this?
07:52I can't forgive this.
07:54Please.
07:55She'll die without his blood.
08:16Miss Prynne, thank 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?
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.
08:53But 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?
09:06Without even caring about Mia.
09:08You deserve more.
09:10Does 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!
10:00Tristan, 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.
10:22For Ryder's benefit and future.
10:25If things go well, who knows?
10:28Perhaps Dr. Wright may even consider taking our son on as her student.
10:32Since you are so busy planning Ryder's party by sleeping with her,
10:35you might not have found the time to ask about your daughter.
10:39Mia.
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.
11:24Kid?
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.
12:11I know it's a knockoff.
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.
12:52Ah, now I get it.
12:54You found yourself a new man, and all of a sudden you want to divorce me.
13:00Mind your words.
13:02God, Tristan.
13:03Not everyone is a cheater like you.
13:06We are done here.
13:07My lawyers will contact you for the proceedings.
13:16Look, Ryder, your mom is leaving you.
13:18Since when are you so concerned about me?
13:21Enough with this nonsense.
13:22Get lost already.
13:24Where are you going?
13:26Are 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?
13:35Miss 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.
14:44Welcome home, Miss Wright.
14:50Welcome home, Miss Wright.
14:52Your 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.
15:25But 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.
15:35And Sophia...
15:37I 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.
15:53My children, my community...
15:56Nobody knows me as...
15:58Ivy 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.
16:32Mr. Miller, you mentioned you're a single father.
16:35May 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, Scarlett Prinnin.
17:04Dear friend, hardly feels descriptive enough.
17:07As Scarlett 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's intent retaining numerous offers.
17:43He is on pace to enter university as the youngest student since Dr. Ivy Wright.
17:48How 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.
18:05As 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 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 intellects will be too much for us to comprehend.
18:43In terms of what connection they will make.
18:45Dr. Wright?
19:02What 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.
19:15Why are you here?
19:16I'm your mother.
19:18Dad says you're getting divorced.
19:20And I'll have a new mother.
19:21I 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.
19:31Are 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 Prinnan have been my everything.
19:50Do you really believe that?
19:51You are the worst mother of the world.
19:53The only stain in my life.
19:56I'm ashamed of you.
19:58The respect is not that you do because I am your mother.
20:01It's not that you are the same because it's better than your mother.
20:04Congrats on your Do-A-Taco 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, these three real academic giants came all for Ryder.
20:23Leave now before you are exposed for who you really are.
20:33Sophia, 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.
20:49Unless you're going to start trick-or-treating, I suggest you get out of that ridiculous costume.
20:53And disappear before you ruin Ryder's event.
20:57You're the one parading around as a reputable academic.
21:00When we can all see through your facade and know you're just an opportunistic parasite.
21:06Looking 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?
21:19You know what? You'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. Welcome 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.
21:52A 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
22:05that has created 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
22:19as the most logical 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?
22:31What 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.
23:21You've insulted these intellectual elites and our family with your deceptions.
23:24What gives you the right?
23:27No.
23:30The 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.
23:56All right, everyone.
23:57The secret is out.
23:59Everyone, look over here.
24:01The real reason behind this special event,
24:03and yes, our playful games of misdirection,
24:06are over.
24:07It'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
24:27to achieve 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?
24:37Miss 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.
25:44Are 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.
26:11Please 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 sorry, do you two know each other?
26:24They must have met at a parent meeting.
26:26Please, Dr. Rowley, it is kind of you to assume the child's mother had something to do
26:31with the incredible accomplishments Ryder has achieved at such an early age, but I assure you...
26:36Why are you still here?
26:40I mean, no disrespect, Director Rowley, but you are only here because we invited you.
26:48How dare you?
26:49I am only here because of Dr. Wright.
26:53Without her, there wouldn't even be a National Youth Academics Program at MIT.
26:57This was created...
27:00for 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 own
28:30wife.
28:31I must say that closeness feels a scooch more intimate than parent-teacher.
28:35Are they having an affair?
28:38Nonsense.
28:39I'm Ryder's teacher.
28:41True.
28:42I care for the Miller family like they are my own.
28:44But these accusations are just rumors.
28:46Sure.
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, he's all yours now.
28:57Here.
29:01You want to embarrass me in front of everyone?
29:04You embarrass yourself.
29:06You 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, but she's probably still fun all the same, no?
29:19I am Ryder's teacher.
29:20He is my focus.
29:22Your problems with keeping your husband happy are your problems alone.
29:27Why don't you let me focus on Ryder?
29:29And you can try focusing on your husband for five minutes in this life.
29:34Ryder is my son.
29:37You don't need to worry about him.
29:38Do you think he'd come to you or me if 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 get back on the right path.
29:55Ryder, would you like to live with me?
29:58With Mia, I 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 Prynne to be my mother, not you.
30:12You are a liar and poor and...
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, then I hate you for keeping this from me and living a lie.
30:25If you are poor, you are lying to me now.
30:28Either way, your wish I came from anyone else but you.
30:31If you did love me, you'd die and disappear so I could move on to a better life.
30:36Did you hear that?
30:37Ivy, if you truly love Ryder, then leave him the hell alone.
30:42I hate you!
30:44I hate you!
30:45My own son...
30:48sees me as his enemy.
30:54Fine then.
30:56Ryder, as per your wishes, I will no longer consider you my son.
31:00Oh no.
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.
31:10But I assure you, everyone will forget who you are when they see what I am capable of.
31:15You may have my brain for mathematics, languages, and music, but you are definitely your father's son when it comes
31:22to empty bluster and spiteful verbal diarrhea.
31:26My apologies, Andrew, I fear we've wasted your time.
31:30While Ryder has shown great promise in certain areas, I 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.
31:44As you wish.
31:46What the actual pho?
31:48Director Rowley, you must be mistaken.
31:52Sophia, Ivy...
31:52I don't know what to call her anymore, is 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?
32:15Isaac and Diana Wright?
32:17Who do you think sponsors our program?
32:20You are hosting an event for the smartest and wealthiest people in the nation, and you don't even know who
32:26any of them are?
32:28Miss Prennan, you have accused me numerous times of living a life of lies.
32:33And yet, you're not actually a Prenny, are you?
32:37Is this true?
32:42So you knew I wasn't who I was all along?
32:45I'm literally one of the smartest people in the world.
32:49Wasn't hard to figure it out.
32:51Sign the divorce papers.
32:54Let's end this.
32:55I'll need time, of course, to review these and ensure the proper elements are all in order.
33:01Property and asset division, deaths and liabilities, spousal support.
33:06What are you saying?
33:08You're rich, right?
33:09I forgive you for everything.
33:11We 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 if I didn't help his parents find a way
33:33to stay together?
33:34What are you doing?
33:35This isn't right.
34:05You said you wanted this, too.
34:05I'm looking 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.
34:25Five weeks, six days.
34:26You two are about to have a child.
34:28And you're still pretending to be strangers.
34:33Fake news.
34:35This is clearly AI.
34:37That doesn't even look like me.
34:40Feels pretty real to me.
34:42You've always wanted to be famous, Scarlet.
34:45How do you like it now?
34:46Ugh.
34:47Can't believe he did it with his son's mentor.
34:51Sign the divorce papers.
34:53Now.
34:56You are despicable.
34:58I won't sign this.
34:59Oh.
35:01So you are willing to let Scarlet's baby grow up as a bastard?
35:06Tristan, maybe we should sign.
35:10Ryder is our future.
35:12We have a lot to think about here.
35:15Ryder's mind is worth more than her inheritance.
35:19She's right.
35:20I can't keep begging her like this.
35:22Ryder 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 to just stay out of jail.
35:44What about Ryder now?
35:46Who will take care of him?
35:48Where's your mother?
35:50She left the moment we moved to this house.
35:53Ryder'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.
36:22Ryder, do 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 or risk upsetting the delicate blood type of hers with anything too sophisticated.
36:38That's the violin I bought for Ryder.
36:40It was imported from Germany and is considered one of the finest violins ever made.
36:48Are you crazy?
36:49Do you even know how much it costs?
36:51It doesn't matter.
36:53You 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.
37:01What 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 for 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, I could be that smart too?
37:38You are already a smart girl, darling.
37:40In many ways, smarter than your brother already.
37:43But more importantly than being a smart girl, I want you to be a happy girl.
37:46Mia, you're amazing.
37:48I have every confidence your mother will give you everything you need to be happy in this life.
37:52Uh-huh.
37:55I 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 schooling and 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 he'd prefer it if Scarlet was his mother.
38:25Scarlet, can you pre-aslund this to money for their schooling?
38:29Heartless, bitch.
38:31Once Ryder completes his dissertation, he'll have offers from all the biggest companies in the world.
38:36We don't need you or your money.
38:38Nothing would bring me greater joy and 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.
39:15How shall we celebrate your straight A's today?
39:19I want both of you to kiss me at the same time and maybe some ice cream.
39:36I knew it.
39:37I knew you both liked each other.
39:40You little rascal.
39:43Hey, Mia, be careful.
39:45I adore our little girl.
39:47What did you say?
39:48Ah, nothing.
39:50Just saying what a great kid she is.
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.
40:09Lucas, thank 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.
40:30These aren't so bad, are they?
40:32Pretty cheap and fresh.
40:35Look, is that Ivy?
40:37Let's go check it out.
40:41Well, well.
40:42Out all alone celebrating yourself with candles and flowers?
40:45No, you're not batshit crazy at all.
40:47I 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!
41:19The 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?
41:44I 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!
41:53See, I told you he was violent!
41:56Stop it!
41:57Stop fighting!
42:05I'm bleeding!
42:12I'm bleeding!
42:21how is she she's going to be okay but i'm very sorry we couldn't save the baby
42:35you killed our child
42:46scarlet i'm heartbroken too it was an accident it doesn't matter if you did it on purpose or not
42:54it's all your fault scarlet the one who should really be blamed is ivy if she hadn't pushed
43:00me would things have turned physical stop blaming her for everything this is a hundred
43:04percent on you you are always running from responsibility how did i not see you were a
43:10terrible father how you've already abandoned your daughter and now our baby the baby didn't

43:19one and the child we need to focus on most is still ryder

44:22dismissive of my potential i 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 ivy
44:34every ounce of your essence appeals to me that wouldn't be fair to you hiding my feelings and
44:39not asserting myself earlier is what has been unfair to me and you lucas i've been so focused
44:45on being a mother being a wife i've stopped focusing on what it also means to be me i'm not
44:50sure i am ready to start a new relationship i wouldn't want to lose myself again i wouldn't
44:54ever want any version of you that wasn't the most truthful and self-loving version of yourself

45:03countless times i like being there for you and for this to ever work i need to know i can
45:08be there

46:08show that ungrateful mother of yours how great you truly are do well there and we will live a
46:12life that none of us have even imagined today is the day we announce the results of the qualifying
46:23tests for the american scholarship program welcome everyone
46:33if you will turn your attention to the main aisle you will see one of this year's top
46:37participants ryder miller he is always impressive and we all predict him to be at the top when the
46:42results are announced i could get used to this this is just the beginning once ryder's results
46:52are announced this will be our daily life today we are also honored to welcome a very special guest
46:58she is the founder of this amazing program and one of the sharpest minds of our time dr ivy wright
47:19is that dr wright has both of her children her son ryder and her daughter mia compete in the exams
47:27one week ago mia really this is why dei programs don't work
47:34what a joke what a joke is she gonna fill out her forms in crayon unbelievable is this some make
47:42-a-wish
47:42thing everyone 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
48:31shortly 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 for 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 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 infidelities and
50:36abandonment he was competing in these events under incredible duress she has taunted him in recent
50:43weeks parading around with her scandalous boyfriend and routinely abandoning him no you left me
50:51you cheated on me you cheated on me i did nothing wrong you never have taken any accountability for
50:56anything have you you even pretended to be someone else to trick me into marrying you my son
51:06deserves another chance she took everything from us ryder and i were left with nothing
51:14he's just a child what kind of kid could survive that level of humiliation these are all lies is that
51:21right sofia or is it ivy are you even able to keep it straight you have convinced ryder i am
51:31his
51:31enemy 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 are you
51:58really her lover yes but this is all recent after ivy divorced her husband after we found him cheating
52:06on her with miss scarlet here liar we've all seen the video tristan your lies end today you did everything
52:15in your power to make me leave and every time i tried to protect our children from our lies you
52:20turned
52:21them against me you made my own child my son wish he could be raised by another woman
52:32ryder how do you feel about all of this do you feel your mother abandoned you i don't like that
52:38woman i prefer miss prinin she's been more of a mother to me than anyone else in this world she's
52:45always been more like a mother than a tutor to me when my father would take me to academic camps
52:50she'd find a way to be there even when my own mother wasn't there she would even save my family
52:56money 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 tell
53:18fact 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 mean
53:43something i couldn't agree more
53:50isn't that mr baker writer's sponsor didn't he fund the kids training and examination charges
53:56i am glad you are here mr baker are you sure there have been some concerns raised about ethics and
54:02trust
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 your
54:28son 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
54:50me
54:50are you saying writer's test results were faked so this has all been a deceptive ploy
54:55i poured a lot of money into your son you had me convinced this young man was a path to
55:02a
55:02promising future for all of us mr baker this is all a misunderstanding
55:09this is the contract you signed i think you know where this is going
55:19what is it according to this contract if you were to breach its terms or in other words if you
55:27were
55:28to commit fraud you would owe me a compensation of 40 million dollars i don't have that kind of money
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
