00:00:11Today's biggest news, Jonathan Weifert, the city's golden bachelor, is set to marry his long-time fiancée,
00:00:16Julie Miller, uniting New York's most elite families.
00:00:20This is Amber Wilson from KKR News.
00:00:30Mr. Weifert, your meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:00:37You smoking cigarettes?
00:00:41It's an important meeting. You need to get ready.
00:00:44You can be a little soft in the morning. No one likes a buzz kill.
00:00:50Good morning to you, too.
00:00:54I've never had Mediterranean food before.
00:00:57So he immediately takes me to this restaurant on 45th.
00:01:01Come on, Jonathan. He's quite the romantic.
00:01:04And then what? Oh, Maple, right?
00:01:08Sorry, I didn't mean to take your seat. Come join us.
00:01:11We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:01:15Oh, Maple would know. She schedules everything for Jonathan.
00:01:20Oh, right. His personal assistant. It's nice to meet you.
00:01:24I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiancée.
00:01:27Nice to meet you, Miss Miller.
00:01:30Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal. Take this as a warning.
00:01:37I've read so many wonderful things about you, Maple.
00:01:41Julie, what are you doing here?
00:01:50It's just a surprise visit from my lovely fiancée.
00:01:56Julie, I thought we discussed about keeping boundaries.
00:02:00In front of everyone, play the part, Jonathan.
00:02:03We're engaged, remember?
00:02:06Maple, are you ready for the meeting?
00:02:08Yes, everything's prepared.
00:02:10Good. I want you to take the lead this time.
00:02:12Lead the meeting?
00:02:13Yes, you've earned it.
00:02:16Yes, you've earned it.
00:02:18Feel up for it?
00:02:20Absolutely.
00:02:24Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.
00:02:25No formalities. Come on, let's go. We're going to be late.
00:02:31Always work first with him, huh?
00:02:47Oh, well, well.
00:02:49Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Maple.
00:02:53Well, I learned from the best.
00:03:11Adam, is he as usual?
00:03:14Mom!
00:03:16I thought we agreed on calling first.
00:03:19Since when do I need permission to see my son, hmm?
00:03:23What's the matter?
00:03:24We are hosting a joint family dinner with the Millers.
00:03:29You and Julie are expected to be there.
00:03:30We agreed to delay the engagement.
00:03:32This is not up for debate.
00:03:34You will attend the family dinner.
00:03:37And you should join as well, Maple.
00:03:59A toast.
00:04:01To the union.
00:04:07Maple, can you pour me some wine?
00:04:09Maple's a guest.
00:04:10Of course.
00:04:12Miss Miller?
00:04:13Soon to be Mrs. Whiteford.
00:04:16Dad, I'm still your daughter.
00:04:19We are so excited to welcome you into our family.
00:04:25This is the first joyful dinner we've had since Peona.
00:04:32With Jonathan and Julie together,
00:04:37it almost feels like Peona is with us here again.
00:04:44Mom!
00:04:45We are so looking forward to this marriage.
00:04:52I'm full.
00:04:53Please enjoy.
00:05:03You okay?
00:05:05Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:05:07I thought you were someone else.
00:05:09Who were you looking for?
00:05:11Jonathan Whiteford.
00:05:13The owner of the mansion?
00:05:15You must be his girlfriend.
00:05:17No, just his assistant.
00:05:19I see.
00:05:20I'm Ryan.
00:05:21My father is the gardener here.
00:05:23Oh, I'm sorry.
00:05:25I thought you were someone else.
00:05:27No, I'm not.
00:05:29I'm Ryan.
00:05:30My father is the gardener here.
00:05:32I know the house really well.
00:05:33I actually may be able to help you.
00:05:35Jonathan has a few favorite spots around here.
00:05:38Though he doesn't visit much nowadays.
00:05:40He does have quite a few properties.
00:05:42Yes, he prefers to live alone.
00:05:45Is that so?
00:05:46Oh, good.
00:05:47You've met.
00:05:49I was thinking of setting you two up on a date.
00:05:52You make a cute couple.
00:06:00A date?
00:06:02Yes, Mabel.
00:06:04Ryan's a fine young man and you're a diligent worker.
00:06:08You make a good match.
00:06:10Well, it's a kind offer,
00:06:12but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.
00:06:15No offense.
00:06:17None taken.
00:06:18Anyway, I should go find Jonathan.
00:06:20He has a very early meeting.
00:06:23Mabel, you're a smart girl.
00:06:27I know how busy you've been serving my son,
00:06:30what fun you've had.
00:06:32I don't understand.
00:06:33Let me clarify.
00:06:35You're barely a side dish.
00:06:37Now the main course is served.
00:06:40Stay away from my son
00:06:43or lose your position at the company
00:06:45and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:47Have I made myself clear?
00:06:53Now, about you and Ryan.
00:06:55You're quite the pair.
00:06:57I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:07:17Morning.
00:07:18The files are ready for you to sign.
00:07:24Were you okay last night?
00:07:26What's on my schedule for today?
00:07:32One meeting in the morning,
00:07:34two in the afternoon,
00:07:36and Julie wants a dinner date.
00:07:40I set up calendar alerts.
00:07:44You're wearing a new perfume today.
00:07:47You have flights later?
00:07:49Yes.
00:07:50Miss Whiteford set me up for a date.
00:07:53It's after work.
00:07:55A date?
00:07:57I thought you were going on a date.
00:08:00I'm not going on a date.
00:08:02I'm not going on a date.
00:08:04I'm not going on a date.
00:08:06I'm not going on a date.
00:08:08I'm not going on a date.
00:08:11A date?
00:08:13Are you joking?
00:08:15You're not the only one inclined for a bit of romance.
00:08:18Jonathan.
00:08:30Before we start, you should know that I am a messy eater.
00:08:34And I hate cats.
00:08:36I'm also indifferent to humanity and climate change.
00:08:41We can just agree that this wasn't a match.
00:08:43And that's your strategy for tonight?
00:08:46Tell me more about yourself.
00:08:48What do you want to know? Family?
00:08:50My mom died and my father is a gambler.
00:08:53You'd inherit his debts at the altar.
00:08:56Delightful company you are.
00:08:58I'm a walking flesh.
00:09:00Who knows? I might even become an abuser.
00:09:02An abuser?
00:09:04Do you use ropes?
00:09:06What?
00:09:08You see, I enjoy being tied up.
00:09:10So I'm rather intrigued.
00:09:14Weirdo.
00:09:15Says Miss Monster Date.
00:09:17Mate call.
00:09:27You're Jack's son.
00:09:29He was such a talented gardener.
00:09:32A favorite servant of mine growing up.
00:09:35If you don't mind, we're on a date.
00:09:37Oh, and having fun, I see.
00:09:40We would be.
00:09:42Without any interruptions.
00:09:53I'm on my way.
00:09:55Okay, sorry.
00:09:58I have to go.
00:10:00Be cool.
00:10:06Excuse me, I am here for my father, Mr. Morris.
00:10:08What happened?
00:10:09He's stable now.
00:10:11The creditors got rough with him.
00:10:13Broke a couple ribs, but he's breathing.
00:10:17How do I pay for the bills?
00:10:19They've been paid for.
00:10:21By whom?
00:10:26Ryan.
00:10:27What are you doing here?
00:10:29Finished the date.
00:10:31I'm starving.
00:10:33It's a very expensive date.
00:10:35I'll pay you back.
00:10:37Later.
00:10:38For now, let's get something to eat.
00:10:50So, you grew up in the Whiteford Mansion?
00:10:53Yeah, I did.
00:10:55I helped my dad with the gardens.
00:10:57And we planted exotic flowers from around the world.
00:11:00Paradise for plant geeks, for sure.
00:11:02I'm super nerdy.
00:11:09You were serious about your father's debts, weren't you?
00:11:12He was a gambler.
00:11:15He's changed, but it still haunts us.
00:11:19I just hope to one day settle the debts.
00:11:21You're not the terrible person you made yourself out to be.
00:11:24You've known me for one day.
00:11:26Hold your conclusions, Sherlock.
00:11:30Well, this is Lule.
00:11:35Good night, nerd.
00:11:37Good night, monster date.
00:11:47It's late.
00:11:49Where have you been?
00:11:55Were you out with him all night?
00:11:58It's my personal time.
00:12:00I don't have to report everything to you.
00:12:02So it went well, then?
00:12:04Your mother set us up, Jonathan.
00:12:06How could I refuse?
00:12:07Good.
00:12:08So then it was all just for show.
00:12:10Well, I actually had a really nice time.
00:12:12I might consider a second date.
00:12:15I can still smell Julie's perfume.
00:12:17Then come shower it off me.
00:12:20You went on a date with another man.
00:12:22And you took another woman to a restaurant that I recommended.
00:12:24Jealous?
00:12:26Not as much as you.
00:12:52Good morning.
00:13:01Morning.
00:13:03Coffee or tea?
00:13:05Uh, coffee.
00:13:11You never make me breakfast.
00:13:16Last night must have been record-breaking.
00:13:19I mean...
00:13:23I'm breaking up with you.
00:13:28What do you mean?
00:13:30Well, more of an ending than a breakup, really.
00:13:32We need to stop.
00:13:34Whatever this is.
00:13:36What about last night?
00:13:38Consider it a breakup gift.
00:13:40Breakup? We weren't even together.
00:13:42Exactly.
00:13:45Shouldn't be too hard to move on.
00:14:00Happy seventh anniversary, Mabel!
00:14:04Anniversary?
00:14:06I mean, seven years with Webber.
00:14:08Sounds nice, doesn't it?
00:14:10Wow, it really has been that long.
00:14:12We got the cake, Mabel!
00:14:14You guys are so sweet.
00:14:16What are you doing?
00:14:18Boss, it's her special day.
00:14:20So?
00:14:22We have the meeting with Harbour in an hour.
00:14:24Do your jobs!
00:15:13Someone might see us.
00:15:15Tell me no one will.
00:15:28Happy anniversary, Mabel.
00:15:30Happy anniversary.
00:15:32Happy anniversary.
00:15:34Happy anniversary, Mabel.
00:15:36Happy anniversary.
00:15:38Happy anniversary, Mabel.
00:15:40Happy anniversary, Mabel.
00:15:48This fun got lasted.
00:15:56Hello, this is Mabel.
00:15:58Evening, Mabel.
00:16:00Ryan, what an honor.
00:16:02You wanna grab dinner together?
00:16:04Just as friends, of course.
00:16:06I'm not up for another dramatic date.
00:16:08Sure, why not.
00:16:10Where are we going?
00:16:12I know the perfect spot. I'll text you.
00:16:14See you soon.
00:16:18I'm so glad we got to try this place again.
00:16:20This is amazing.
00:16:22I know.
00:16:24I think they put some drugs in it or something.
00:16:26It'd be weird if they didn't.
00:16:28How could it be so addictive?
00:16:30How have you been lately?
00:16:32Can't complain.
00:16:34Because you signed the NDA?
00:16:36The latter.
00:16:38Although, if I did sign an NDA,
00:16:40I couldn't really share otherwise.
00:16:42Could I?
00:16:44This is true.
00:16:46Hey, I asked you out on a date for a reason.
00:16:48I think we'd make excellent business partners.
00:16:50Business partners?
00:16:52Yeah.
00:16:54Well, let's just say our first date was rather chaotic.
00:16:56So I wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you.
00:17:00I'm Ryan Anderson.
00:17:02I'm the founder of Novatech.
00:17:04And I would like for you to join us
00:17:06head of the creative strategies.
00:17:08Novatech?
00:17:14Novatech?
00:17:16But I thought you said you were...
00:17:18The Gardner son.
00:17:20Yes, I still am, but I'm not defined by what my father does.
00:17:22Even if Barbara thinks so.
00:17:26After years of education and hard work,
00:17:28I find myself at MIT
00:17:30and started my own company.
00:17:32It's good to own something of your own, right?
00:17:34That's incredible, Ryan.
00:17:36And I'm grateful for the opportunity
00:17:38that I already have a job.
00:17:40And I'm just an assistant.
00:17:42So I'm sure there are other people
00:17:44much more qualified than me out there.
00:17:46You're not just anyone.
00:17:48You're the key success to the Wipers project.
00:17:50It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.
00:17:54So, cheers
00:17:56to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:17:58So, cheers
00:18:00to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:18:18Oh, Miss Wiper.
00:18:20Jonathan's left for the...
00:18:22I'm here to see you.
00:18:24How was everything with Ryan?
00:18:26He wasn't.
00:18:28Thank you for the introduction.
00:18:30When do you plan to marry him?
00:18:32We've only just met.
00:18:36I've warned you.
00:18:38No marriage.
00:18:40No job at Whiteford Tech.
00:18:44And you will be banned from the industry.
00:18:46I've ended things with Jonathan.
00:18:48Then marry Ryan to prove it.
00:18:50I've done my research as well,
00:18:52Mabel.
00:18:54Leave my son
00:18:56and I'll clear all your father's debts.
00:19:00If not,
00:19:02those seeking him will find him.
00:19:06Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance.
00:19:08Not me.
00:19:10I don't think you understand the situation.
00:19:14You are nothing to Jonathan.
00:19:16At most,
00:19:18a shadow of his past pain.
00:19:20A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:19:22What do you mean?
00:19:24You don't know, do you?
00:19:28Marry Ryan.
00:19:30It's my last warning.
00:19:32It's my last warning.
00:19:50Did I miss a meeting?
00:19:54Uh, no.
00:19:56I just...
00:19:58Your driver couldn't get a hold of you.
00:20:00Mr. Whiteford,
00:20:02it's October 15th.
00:20:04Shit, shit.
00:20:06It's okay.
00:20:08The car's out front.
00:20:10No, it's not okay. I never forget...
00:20:14Clear everything for today.
00:20:16I've kept your calendar clear, as always.
00:20:20The car, Mr. Whiteford.
00:20:22I'll see you.
00:20:24At the office?
00:20:30Hello?
00:20:34Oh, uh, okay. I'm on my way.
00:20:40The entire server crashed!
00:20:42Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:44Hey, what happened?
00:20:46We are under attack. We need a system reboot.
00:20:48Where is Mr. Whiteford? We need his admin code.
00:20:50Now.
00:20:52Okay, he's out of the office. Let me just try contacting him, okay?
00:20:54We need that code.
00:20:56Do you have access to it?
00:20:58No, that code is highly confidential.
00:21:00Jonathan is the sole owner.
00:21:02Um, let me try.
00:21:10What is this?
00:21:12We're completely offline.
00:21:14Come on, Mabel. You know it the best.
00:21:16It won't.
00:21:20Try Fiona.
00:21:22F-I-O-N-A.
00:21:26Fiona.
00:21:28Give it a shot.
00:21:30Fiona.
00:21:32Give it a shot.
00:21:38Remember that awkward dinner at the Whiteford's?
00:21:42Fiona, you are nothing to Jonathan.
00:21:46At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:21:48A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:22:00Hello, Jonathan.
00:22:02Good to see you.
00:22:04How may I help you?
00:22:06Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?
00:22:10Oh, no. That's not Mabel.
00:22:14That's my sister, Fiona.
00:22:16Jonathan's first love.
00:22:32Next, Mabel Morris.
00:22:46Hello.
00:22:56You know, coding demands intense focus
00:22:58and absolute silence.
00:23:02That's why having a capable assistant
00:23:04to help with other things
00:23:06like interviews
00:23:08is crucial.
00:23:17Fiona.
00:23:19Um, I'm Mabel Morris,
00:23:21Mr. Whiteford.
00:23:23Here's my resume.
00:23:26Mabel.
00:23:28Nice to meet you.
00:23:42When can you start?
00:23:46Tomorrow.
00:23:48No, actually, today.
00:23:50Welcome to Whiteford Tech.
00:23:52M-A-B-E-L.
00:23:54M-A-B-E-L.
00:23:56Mabel.
00:24:04Mabel.
00:24:06Are you all right?
00:24:08I know. Shocking, isn't it?
00:24:10You know, when they mentioned you years ago,
00:24:12I was concerned.
00:24:14I thought you'd actually fallen for someone.
00:24:16But then I saw you,
00:24:18and I knew
00:24:20there was nothing to worry about.
00:24:22To Jonathan, you're just
00:24:24a reminder of my sister.
00:24:26He doesn't love you.
00:24:28You're nothing but a shadow to him.
00:24:30You are, at best, a placebo.
00:24:34Oh, Mabel.
00:24:36Did you actually
00:24:38think you stood a chance?
00:24:41You pathetic slut.
00:24:44Fuck off.
00:24:50Oh, do you know about today?
00:24:52I don't want to know.
00:24:54Fiona died today, seven years ago.
00:24:56He visits her grave on this day
00:24:58every year.
00:25:02You see?
00:25:04You're just a joke.
00:25:10Mabel.
00:25:26Hey, Mabel.
00:25:30What's wrong?
00:25:36There was an attack on the system at work today.
00:25:38Okay.
00:25:40Well,
00:25:42since you're here and not at the office,
00:25:44I assume it's resolved?
00:25:46Your mascot.
00:25:48What is it?
00:25:50What?
00:25:52The code, Jonathan. What is it?
00:25:54That's none of your business.
00:25:58Come on.
00:26:00Tell me about this attack.
00:26:02Okay.
00:26:06So,
00:26:08it's been fixed?
00:26:10We had to restart the system.
00:26:12System reboot.
00:26:14I see.
00:26:16It asked for an admin code.
00:26:18Why didn't you call me?
00:26:20I tried to, but it didn't go through.
00:26:22Signal down there.
00:26:24We got the code.
00:26:26You did?
00:26:28How?
00:26:30Luckily,
00:26:32Julie was there.
00:26:38So you've seen.
00:26:40Fiona?
00:26:44Yeah.
00:26:50Fiona?
00:26:54Yeah.
00:26:56Mabel,
00:26:58I know you have a lot of questions.
00:27:00Actually,
00:27:02I found a lot of answers today.
00:27:08I thought I was lucky
00:27:10to have that job,
00:27:14to work at the company,
00:27:16to be by your side,
00:27:20to enter a relationship
00:27:22with you or whatever that was.
00:27:25But it turns out
00:27:27I was just a replacement.
00:27:29A replacement for some sick,
00:27:31twisted obsession
00:27:33that you can't get over.
00:27:35I'm shadowing for a dead girlfriend.
00:27:39All those years.
00:27:41What even?
00:27:44You're a fucking ghost.
00:27:46Enough!
00:27:48Don't speak.
00:27:50Don't use that term.
00:27:52Dead ghost?
00:27:55That's the reality of it, Jonathan.
00:27:57She is both.
00:28:04I'm Mabel Morris.
00:28:07I'm not...
00:28:09I'm not your dead girlfriend.
00:28:11I'm not Fiona.
00:28:19You're right.
00:28:21You're not her.
00:28:24Nobody is.
00:28:35I've submitted my resignation.
00:28:39Thank you for the opportunity.
00:28:42Years ago, I learned a lot.
00:28:46Goodbye, Mr. Whiteford.
00:28:51Goodbye.
00:28:59Fuck!
00:29:16You said you were a friend of Mr. Morris's?
00:29:18A friend of his daughter Mabel, actually.
00:29:20Miss Mabel.
00:29:22She's quite sweet and caring.
00:29:24Absolutely.
00:29:26She asked me to come check on Scott.
00:29:28How's his condition?
00:29:30He's well.
00:29:32With a little rest,
00:29:34he should recover fully.
00:29:36That's good news.
00:29:46He's at Silver Pine Hospital.
00:29:48Tell his creditors.
00:29:50I knew you had it in you.
00:29:53Mrs. Whiteford, I was just...
00:29:55Spare me the excuses, Julie.
00:29:59I've seen what you're capable of.
00:30:02Years ago.
00:30:13Mrs. Whiteford, there's been a misunderstanding.
00:30:15Oh, enough.
00:30:16Julie, cut it.
00:30:19Fiona was sweet.
00:30:22But too naive for our world.
00:30:24Her innocence was a liability.
00:30:27I tried separating Jonathan and Fiona for years.
00:30:31Jonathan was so invested.
00:30:33Even ignoring his family to pursue his little tech project.
00:30:37All encouraged by Fiona.
00:30:39Luckily, his project succeeded.
00:30:42But not without him taking down his father's legacy first.
00:30:46He could have been so much more influential.
00:30:48So powerful.
00:30:53But just when I thought all was lost,
00:30:56Fiona was out of the picture.
00:30:59Her death was no coincidence, Julie.
00:31:02God plays no favors.
00:31:04I see your hand in her car accident.
00:31:09How long have you known?
00:31:11Oh, Julie.
00:31:13I've known from the start.
00:31:17What happened?
00:31:20Oh, he's... his debt collector's caught up to him.
00:31:24Will he be okay?
00:31:26Prepare for the worst. He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:29How did he find it?
00:31:31Someone must have tipped him off.
00:31:32We're investigating. We'll do our best to locate his attackers.
00:31:36I've warned you.
00:31:38Suspecting him, right?
00:31:42It's Barbara Whiteford.
00:31:43The Barbara Whiteford, queen of Manhattan?
00:31:46She's after my father.
00:31:48That's a serious accusation, ma'am.
00:31:50Respectfully, your father is not significant enough for her to waste.
00:31:53You don't understand.
00:31:54I got too close to her son, and she told me...
00:31:57Please calm down.
00:31:58No, you don't understand.
00:31:59Please, please, Ms. Morris.
00:32:02Unfortunately, we couldn't save your father.
00:32:05He passed away.
00:32:10No.
00:32:14Do you love him, Harry?
00:32:15What? No!
00:32:20No!
00:32:38Mama.
00:32:40After you left, Dad was never the same.
00:32:48When you left us...
00:32:53I lost you.
00:32:58I always thought...
00:33:00it would get better.
00:33:04But it didn't.
00:33:09I'm sorry.
00:33:14I feel like a nobody.
00:33:18I failed.
00:33:20I failed at everything.
00:33:30Leave me alone!
00:33:40You got food from your favorite place?
00:33:45You don't have to talk to me, but...
00:33:48please eat something.
00:33:52Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:34:04I'm only gonna ask you once, and I'll leave you be.
00:34:08But are you okay?
00:34:10Do you want to talk about it?
00:34:13I'm managing.
00:34:15Food helped.
00:34:20You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:24It's okay to feel vulnerable.
00:34:26We all have our moments.
00:34:28It's just...
00:34:32It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:34I get it.
00:34:35And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:34:40I've lost a loved one, too.
00:34:42Great. Do you have a dead girlfriend also?
00:34:45A dead girlfriend? Wait.
00:34:47You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.
00:34:50So you knew. You knew all this time.
00:34:52But you two are completely different.
00:34:57I didn't lose a lover.
00:35:01It was my mother I lost.
00:35:05Ryan, I'm sorry.
00:35:07It's okay.
00:35:10This whole week is just like...
00:35:13Everything feels so pointless.
00:35:17That's a natural feeling to have.
00:35:19I used to mock existentialism.
00:35:23I get it now.
00:35:25I love how intelligent you sound.
00:35:27Even now.
00:35:29Stop.
00:35:31No, seriously.
00:35:33Modern day Socrates.
00:35:35Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:46Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:48For the food and the talk.
00:35:50Less of the food.
00:35:52I'm still so addicted.
00:35:54They definitely put drugs in it.
00:35:56Definitely.
00:35:58Hey, if you need anything, just call me.
00:36:01I will.
00:36:03I think I just need some time to think things over.
00:36:06Have you considered your next steps?
00:36:08I'm not sure.
00:36:10I quit my job, settled the debts.
00:36:12Now the world's just kind of open to me.
00:36:15It's strange.
00:36:17Well, there's a spot for you and Novatek.
00:36:19Are you sure about me leading?
00:36:21You're the best one to lead it.
00:36:23Come on, just give it a shot.
00:36:25I'll think about it. Seriously.
00:36:27That's all I can ask.
00:36:36Mabel?
00:36:38Are you doing okay?
00:36:41Why are you here?
00:36:44Mabel?
00:36:46Are you doing okay?
00:36:48Why are you here?
00:36:50I saw what happened on the news and I...
00:36:52You're worried?
00:36:54Save it, it's none of your business.
00:36:56Mabel, please, let me just...
00:36:58I'm done!
00:37:00Listening, Jonathan.
00:37:02I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.
00:37:06And now I finally know the truth.
00:37:10I thought what we had was real.
00:37:13But I was just a pill for a wound that won't heal.
00:37:22I truly loved you.
00:37:24Jonathan.
00:37:30Don't come looking for me again.
00:37:33Leave me alone.
00:37:35It's my final request.
00:37:44And this is the upstairs division.
00:37:47I can see it.
00:37:49What do you think?
00:37:51I love it. It's so lively.
00:37:53That's the goal.
00:37:55Hey, I'm in.
00:37:57But I have one condition.
00:37:59I'd like to work from a different city.
00:38:01Why's that?
00:38:02Tokyo.
00:38:04That's where you're headed, right?
00:38:06Someone's been doing her homework.
00:38:08And for a new market,
00:38:10it's important to have someone you trust by your side.
00:38:12I'm listening.
00:38:17Tokyo it is, then.
00:38:19Welcome to the team, Mabel.
00:38:21What an honor, Captain.
00:38:23Let me show you around.
00:38:25Sir?
00:38:27You have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes?
00:38:30Right.
00:38:33Bring me their pitch deck and latest progress report.
00:38:37And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion.
00:38:40Sir?
00:38:42Mabel doesn't work here anymore.
00:38:44I can get someone else to help with it.
00:38:46She can't be replaced.
00:38:50There's no one like her.
00:38:56Why don't you start in the living room?
00:38:59Hey!
00:39:01Hey!
00:39:03What is happening here?
00:39:05Mabel!
00:39:07Mabel!
00:39:09Mabel!
00:39:11Mabel!
00:39:13Hey!
00:39:15What is happening here?
00:39:17We're just doing our job, sir.
00:39:19Please don't interrupt.
00:39:21Where are these going?
00:39:23They're going to the donation.
00:39:25They don't already left.
00:39:32Get out.
00:39:34And last.
00:39:38You do not want to talk?
00:39:40Okay, you haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:39:43Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:39:46Just move on, find someone.
00:39:48Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:39:50She's clearly just a fill-in for Fiona.
00:39:52Nothing more than her look-alike.
00:39:54She's different.
00:39:56Funny, professional.
00:39:58She makes me feel good about myself.
00:40:00She's Mabel.
00:40:02And I actually like her for who she is.
00:40:10What about our engagement?
00:40:13Julie.
00:40:16When Fiona left,
00:40:18I was lost.
00:40:20I would never marry you having some
00:40:22fleeting feelings for her.
00:40:24That's not right for either one of us.
00:40:26No, no, you don't determine that.
00:40:28Jonathan, I have dreamed of our marriage
00:40:30since the day we met.
00:40:32I sacrificed so much for that dream,
00:40:34I lost everything.
00:40:36What do you mean by that?
00:40:38Nothing.
00:40:40I can't seem to see you.
00:40:42What are you hiding?
00:40:44Nothing.
00:40:46I was just saying that...
00:40:48Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:40:50I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:40:52You're delusional.
00:40:54Did you?
00:40:56This is silly.
00:40:58Baby, we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?
00:41:02Just sleep this off
00:41:04and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:41:08Okay.
00:41:15All right, give me the visitor's list
00:41:17for Mabel's father's death.
00:41:19It's urgent.
00:41:24The hospital's footage was erased,
00:41:26but a doctor remembers a young woman
00:41:28claiming to be Mabel's friend.
00:41:30A young woman?
00:41:32Yes, sir.
00:41:34A detailed description matches Miss Miller.
00:41:37Julie.
00:41:39Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?
00:41:41No, don't bother.
00:41:43Any news on Mabel's location?
00:41:46She just purchased tickets
00:41:48for many destinations.
00:41:50Where is she currently?
00:41:52Last known location,
00:41:54she's in a cab to JFK Airport.
00:41:56Get the car ready, now.
00:41:58I'm gonna pull over.
00:42:00Right here, stop.
00:42:02Mabel!
00:42:04Are you insane?
00:42:06What the hell are you doing?
00:42:13Mabel, where are you?
00:42:15Don't go.
00:42:20Come on.
00:42:22Wait, Mabel!
00:42:24Mabel!
00:42:26Did you know about Mabel's departure?
00:42:28I know she left with Ryan Anderson,
00:42:30the servant's son.
00:42:32It's a good match.
00:42:34You should be happy for her.
00:42:36Were you part of this?
00:42:38Jonathan,
00:42:40Mabel made her own choice.
00:42:42No one pushed her.
00:42:44She has her life,
00:42:46we have our lives.
00:42:48We're all in this together.
00:42:50We're all in this together.
00:42:52We're all in this together.
00:42:53She has her life,
00:42:55we have ours.
00:42:57They don't intersect.
00:42:59Remember, you have responsibilities.
00:43:01The wedding's next month.
00:43:03I won't marry Julie.
00:43:05I won't be a pawn in your plan.
00:43:08I love Mabel.
00:43:10She's the one I want.
00:43:12She is merely a stand-in for Fiona.
00:43:14I'm not!
00:43:17I know it's already too late,
00:43:19but my feelings for her are real.
00:43:23I'll wait for her.
00:43:25I'll wait as long as it takes
00:43:27because this is my life!
00:43:30And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:43:50Mabel, turn it off.
00:43:54Mabel!
00:43:57Okay, you lazy bone.
00:43:59Come on.
00:44:01There's a meeting to attend to.
00:44:03Programmed you too well, didn't I?
00:44:05I learned it myself.
00:44:07Exactly, that's why I said
00:44:09I programmed you too well.
00:44:11Show off.
00:44:24The driver is ten minutes away.
00:44:27Got it.
00:44:30Put some clothes on.
00:44:34You can't see me, right?
00:44:36Don't need to.
00:44:38I know you too well.
00:44:40Make you more dumber.
00:44:42Heard that.
00:44:44Incoming call
00:44:46from Mrs. Whiteford.
00:44:48Put her through.
00:44:50Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent.
00:44:51Please come home.
00:44:53Your mother's condition is critical.
00:45:04What happened?
00:45:06She suffered a stroke last evening.
00:45:08What?
00:45:10What?
00:45:12A stroke or whatever, right?
00:45:14She's alright for now,
00:45:16but she might not speak again.
00:45:18What?
00:45:19She had a stroke, Mr. Whiteford.
00:45:21She's lucky she's even breathing.
00:45:24Sweet.
00:45:27Hi.
00:45:31What can I do to help?
00:45:33Keep her calm.
00:45:35She's a fighter.
00:45:37She might be able to pull through.
00:45:39Excuse me.
00:45:41I'm here.
00:45:45Mabel, this is my father here.
00:45:47I've been telling you about.
00:45:49Ryan's told me so much about you.
00:45:51Likewise.
00:45:53He's going on about those unique seeds
00:45:55that you've been planting.
00:45:57He's kind of nerdy sometimes.
00:45:59Oh, so nerdy.
00:46:01Mabel.
00:46:11Hey.
00:46:14When did you return?
00:46:16Mabel, we can leave this here.
00:46:17No need.
00:46:19We're just chatting.
00:46:21Jonathan, it's nice to see you.
00:46:23I was just looking for you.
00:46:25You deliberately ignored my request.
00:46:27I asked to be left alone.
00:46:29Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.
00:46:31Everything was sorted.
00:46:33It's all behind us.
00:46:37Hey, Jonathan,
00:46:39they're just here to visit an old man.
00:46:41Isn't that okay?
00:46:43Dad, this is your home as well.
00:46:45We don't need his approval.
00:46:47I mean, you should come live in the city with us.
00:46:49I see you too.
00:46:51You live together, huh?
00:46:53It's none of your business.
00:46:55Mabel, I just wanted to...
00:46:57I see you haven't changed.
00:46:59Sorry, Jack.
00:47:01I just remembered I have a phone call
00:47:03that I need to make.
00:47:05Mabel.
00:47:11We can talk about it, you know.
00:47:13About the product launch?
00:47:15My only concern is the interface.
00:47:17Is it friendly enough?
00:47:19Mabel, it's okay to be upset with Jonathan.
00:47:21No need to hide it.
00:47:23He's just a competitor now.
00:47:25Speaking of which, the new app at Whiteford Tech
00:47:27is dominating the charts.
00:47:29We should look into that.
00:47:31Can I ask you something?
00:47:33If you're going to say something irritating,
00:47:35I'm not interested.
00:47:37Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:47:39No.
00:47:41He broke my heart once.
00:47:43I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:47:48This is Mabel.
00:47:50Head of Cruise.
00:47:52Nice to meet the team.
00:47:54We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.
00:47:56Your products are so exciting.
00:48:00We always try our very best to ensure...
00:48:02Good morning.
00:48:04What are you doing here?
00:48:06Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:08Welcome.
00:48:10Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.
00:48:12He's shown great interest in our company.
00:48:14He requested to join us at this meeting.
00:48:16I hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.
00:48:19Considering the product is still under testing,
00:48:21we typically limit our attendance.
00:48:24He's welcome to join.
00:48:26I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.
00:48:29His insight is invaluable.
00:48:32Right up at the head of the seat.
00:48:34I love being part of the creative process.
00:48:36What an honor.
00:48:38Mr. Whiteford,
00:48:40I'm so proud of you.
00:48:41What an honor.
00:48:43Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:49At the end of the day,
00:48:51our product is really exciting,
00:48:53and thank you all so much for spending your afternoon
00:48:55with us at Novatec.
00:48:57We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:49:00Well, this sounds like a game changer.
00:49:03Congratulations.
00:49:05Mr. Whiteford,
00:49:07let's see the thoughts.
00:49:11It's good.
00:49:13Surely,
00:49:15as a leader in this industry,
00:49:17you have more to offer than good.
00:49:19I don't think it's my place to say more.
00:49:21If we always play it safe,
00:49:23we'll never achieve perfection.
00:49:27You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:49:30It's a strong product,
00:49:32but you're not yet a market leader.
00:49:34But there's potential.
00:49:36You might need more clarity.
00:49:38Apparently, it's affecting your overall product.
00:49:41You need to improve the interactive system.
00:49:43It's far too average.
00:49:45And the interface needs to be more user-friendly,
00:49:47you know this.
00:49:49But overall,
00:49:51truly,
00:49:53well done.
00:49:55Proud of you.
00:49:57Professional boundaries,
00:49:59Mr. Whiteford.
00:50:01Sorry, I sometimes get carried away
00:50:03with talent for teens.
00:50:08Well then,
00:50:09let's crown some numbers, shall we?
00:50:11Yes, absolutely.
00:50:13Who are we looking at budget-wise?
00:50:20Hey,
00:50:22great job on today's pitch.
00:50:24It was a team effort.
00:50:26We still have some work to do, though.
00:50:28Looking forward to launching it.
00:50:30But then at this non-stop,
00:50:32we're going to get some rest.
00:50:34Well,
00:50:36you still had time to find the handsome lawyer.
00:50:37Wait,
00:50:39you knew about it?
00:50:41Ryan,
00:50:43you're the only guy who hasn't made a pass at me.
00:50:45I had my suspicions.
00:50:47I thought Barbara set us up for that reason,
00:50:49but she's clueless.
00:50:51Still hoping for a wedding.
00:50:53Um,
00:50:55I'll see you tomorrow.
00:50:57Absolutely.
00:50:59And hey, if you hear anything,
00:51:01especially about Jonathan,
00:51:03just ask.
00:51:05But it's all behind me.
00:51:08Bye.
00:51:22Hey.
00:51:24Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:51:26Just a coincidence, Miss Morris.
00:51:28See, um,
00:51:30I live here too.
00:51:32Yeah, right.
00:51:34Hey.
00:51:48Can you give me some space?
00:51:51That's pretty nice of you.
00:51:55When did you move here?
00:51:57Because I was under the impression
00:51:59that this space
00:52:00has one.
00:52:02It has two.
00:52:12Oh, what a coincidence.
00:52:14I live here too.
00:52:16Guess what?
00:52:18My passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:20Is his passcode still Fiona?
00:52:24Why do you care?
00:52:27Um,
00:52:29um,
00:52:35dim the lights, Mabel.
00:52:37That's an early night.
00:52:39Rough day?
00:52:41Actually,
00:52:43it's one of the best days of my life.
00:52:45Really?
00:52:47What happened?
00:52:49Good night, Mabel.
00:52:58Want to go for a ride, Miss Morris?
00:53:00No, thank you.
00:53:02I prefer to walk.
00:53:04It's about three.
00:53:06Come on.
00:53:17Busy day yet?
00:53:19You seemed really occupied yesterday.
00:53:22A DL was a quiet ride.
00:53:25You know, I have a tip for your product
00:53:26if you're interested.
00:53:32Okay, fine.
00:53:34What is it?
00:53:36The interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:53:38The uniform font size is causing confusion,
00:53:40but a little variation can help.
00:53:42You're right.
00:53:44We wanted simplicity,
00:53:46but maybe too much, though.
00:53:48It's a good approach,
00:53:50but you need to experiment a bit.
00:53:52You've always been a rule-breaker, Mabel.
00:53:56I know.
00:54:18Her condition worsened.
00:54:20We thought it would be best if you were here.
00:54:26Is there anything that can be done for her?
00:54:29We've done everything.
00:54:32Her vitals are going quickly.
00:54:34I'm so sorry.
00:54:36I'm going to get some medicine, okay?
00:54:43Mom, hey.
00:54:45I'm right here.
00:54:50Are you seeing me?
00:54:52Is there anything we can get for you?
00:54:54I'm leaving you.
00:54:56No.
00:54:58You're fine.
00:55:00We're taking good care of you.
00:55:02My son.
00:55:04I'm truly sorry.
00:55:11You're the best mom I could have ever had.
00:55:16I want you to be happy.
00:55:20I am happy.
00:55:22I'm happy.
00:55:24After Fiona,
00:55:26I saw how you suffered.
00:55:30I regret so many.
00:55:35I overlooked things
00:55:37after Fiona's death.
00:55:41You changed so much.
00:55:46What do you mean, Mom?
00:55:48Just promise me you'll be happy
00:55:50with Mabel working for you.
00:55:53Like everyone else.
00:55:56Promise me.
00:56:03It's time you learned the truth
00:56:06about everything.
00:56:13Oh, my God.
00:56:15It's official.
00:56:16Applewhiteford just died.
00:56:18Really?
00:56:19What happened?
00:56:21It was sudden.
00:56:22Applewhiteford just confirmed it.
00:56:24Are you okay?
00:56:29Go.
00:56:30Take the day off.
00:56:31Okay.
00:56:51Facial recognition successful.
00:56:54Welcome, Mabel.
00:56:56Facial recognition, huh?
00:57:02Jonathan?
00:57:07Why are you here?
00:57:14I saw the news.
00:57:17Are you okay?
00:57:19I'll manage.
00:57:21Do you need anything?
00:57:22Do you want to talk?
00:57:23Why are you here?
00:57:25Is it because you care?
00:57:27I understand what it feels like
00:57:29to lose a parent.
00:57:30That's not why you're here.
00:57:33You care.
00:57:34Don't you?
00:57:36I was concerned.
00:57:38But if you're fine, I should go.
00:57:39Please don't go.
00:57:41Please.
00:57:42Have you been drinking?
00:57:43Jonathan, this is so inappropriate.
00:57:45Mabel, Mabel, listen.
00:57:47Listening.
00:57:48Mabel signing in.
00:57:49How can I help, Jonathan?
00:57:51What is that?
00:57:52Hello, Ms. Morris.
00:57:54I'm Mabel,
00:57:55an AI modeled after you.
00:57:57Mabel, Mabel, stop!
00:58:01Wait, wait.
00:58:07I'm sorry.
00:58:09I'm sorry.
00:58:10This was my way
00:58:11of coping with your absence.
00:58:12It was my fault.
00:58:13I'm sorry.
00:58:15I'm sorry.
00:58:17I'm sorry.
00:58:18I'm sorry.
00:58:19I'm sorry.
00:58:20I'm sorry that I'm
00:58:21coping with your absence.
00:58:22It was never meant
00:58:23to be discovered like this.
00:58:26Jonathan.
00:58:29This is,
00:58:30this is too much.
00:58:33This isn't just obsession.
00:58:34This is unhealthy.
00:58:35I know.
00:58:36It's wrong.
00:58:40Please,
00:58:41I'll never bother you again.
00:58:42Just, just
00:58:44give me some time and I'll go.
00:58:45I swear.
00:58:47Are you okay,
00:58:48Yes. Yes. Thank you.
00:59:08You were right about the rain.
00:59:18Yeah.
00:59:27Outstanding, Mabel. This product will be a hit.
00:59:32Um, you know Mr. Whiteford today?
00:59:35Uh, yes. He wished to come, but couldn't make it.
00:59:40He was caught up with family matters.
00:59:43Did you hear about his mother?
00:59:48Good morning.
00:59:51I'm here to announce the passing of my mother, Barbara Whiteford, due to a severe stroke.
01:00:00It's a challenging time for our family, and we appreciate your thoughts.
01:00:04While we mourn, I also need to address serious matters involving Julie Miller, a close associate of our family.
01:00:13Years ago, Fiona Miller, my then-girlfriend and I, developed a system named after her that laid the foundation for Whiteford Tech.
01:00:22Her untimely death, I recently learned, was orchestrated by her sister, Julie Miller, with my mother's knowledge.
01:00:32Moreover, Julie Miller has been involved in other immoral acts.
01:00:39She hired gang members for violent acts and caused deep harm to someone close to my heart.
01:00:46I'm not seeking forgiveness for the family.
01:00:49I only want justice.
01:00:51Julie now stands trial for her actions.
01:00:54The Fiona system, pivotal in uncovering these truths, will now be decommissioned and made publicly available for the advancement of technology.
01:01:05It's time for fresh perspectives.
01:01:08I'm stepping down.
01:01:11Whiteford Tech will now be under NOVA, led by Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morris, whose leadership and vision I trust.
01:01:21This will be my last public appearance.
01:01:23All my shares in Whiteford Tech will be transferred to Mabel Morris.
01:01:28The future is in her hands. Thank you.
01:01:34Did you know about this?
01:01:38So that's it. We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.
01:02:03Hey, Jonathan.
01:02:06Sup?
01:02:09Hey, why did you leave the company and all of your shares? What the...
01:02:17Facial recognition successful. Welcome, Mabel.
01:02:33Where's Jonathan?
01:02:36He has moved away. He is, I quote, giving you space.
01:02:43He moved? Where?
01:02:46I'm afraid I don't know.
01:02:51He really left everything behind?
01:02:54He said it would be for the best.
01:03:07Maybe he's right.
01:03:11Maybe it is for the best.
01:03:21I found the programmer that you've been looking for.
01:03:24Here's everything on him. The best we could dig up.
01:03:28Hey, we need to learn to take some more breaks.
01:03:31Setting the bar way too high for the rest of us.
01:03:35I'll slow down once we've got more skilled people like this one working for us.
01:03:52Hey, Quitsie, can I see you?
01:03:54Hey, Quitsie, can I see you?
01:04:03Facial recognition successful. Welcome, Mabel.
01:04:18Nice work, Jonathan.
01:04:20I know.
01:04:21Hi.
01:04:24How did you...
01:04:25Weeks ago, we discovered a mysterious programmer.
01:04:29Their work was outstanding. I just had to know who it was.
01:04:35I'm sorry. I, uh, got bored.
01:04:39I wanted something to do.
01:04:41Recoding gave you away.
01:04:43It felt familiar, like you.
01:04:46The way the numbers and the figures went together, I don't know, it kind of felt romantic.
01:04:52Why did you leave everything behind? Don't you miss it?
01:04:58I wanted to fix my mistakes.
01:05:01Help you.
01:05:04I want you to be happy, Mabel.
01:05:08You left without saying goodbye.
01:05:10I know. I'm sorry.
01:05:13I knew you wouldn't forgive me if I left, but I needed to distance myself from you.
01:05:17It was the only way I knew how to forgive you.
01:05:22Have you succeeded?
01:05:26I'm good.
01:05:32Oh, wait.
01:05:36At Novatec, we offer competitive pay and flexible schedules with remote opportunities and free meals.
01:05:46Sounds good.
01:05:47Here's more.
01:05:49We have benefits, like penny mean, and child care support, and fun company events.
01:05:58So, Jonathan Whiteford, how would you feel about joining Novatec?
01:06:05As an executive?
01:06:07No, as staff, but I would be thrilled to have you as a senior programmer.
01:06:13Pretty good offer.
01:06:16Also, there are no restrictions about relationships with colleagues.
01:06:25So, if you happen to like someone at work, it's cool.
01:06:31That's good to know.
