00:00:11Today's biggest news, Jonathan Whiteford, 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. Whiteford, 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.

00:01:01My, Jonathan, he's quite the romantic.

00:01:04And then what? Oh, people, 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, Mabel 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.

00:01:34Take this as it will be.

00:01:37I've read so many wonderful things about you, Mabel.

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?

00:02:06Mabel, 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, Mabel.

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.

00:03:28You 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, Mabel.

00:03:59A toast.

00:04:01To the union.

00:04:07Mabel, can you pour me some wine?

00:04:09Mabel'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.

00:06:06And 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.

00:06:24Mabel, 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.

00:07:18Morning.

00:07:19The 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.

00:07:43You're wearing a new perfume today.

00:07:45You have flights later?

00:07:47Yes.

00:07:48Miss Whiteford set me up for a date.

00:07:50It's after work.

00:07:52A date?

00:07:54I'm so sorry.

00:07:56I'm going to miss you.

00:07:58I'm sorry.

00:07:59I'm sorry.

00:08:01I'm sorry.

00:08:03I'm sorry.

00:08:05I'm sorry.

00:08:07I'm sorry.

00:08:08I'm sorry.

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 walk in the flesh.

00:09:00Who knows? I might even become an abuser.

00:09:02An abuser?

00:09:04Do you use ropes?

00:09:06What?

00:09:07You see, I enjoy being tied up, so I'm rather intrigued.

00:09:13Weirdo.

00:09:15Says Miss Monster Date.

00:09:17Meatball.

00:09:27You're Jack's son.

00:09:29He was such a talented gardener.

00:09:32My 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, without any interruptions.

00:09:53I'm on my way.

00:09:55Okay, sorry.

00:09:58I have to go.

00:10:00Meatball.

00:10:06Excuse me, I am here for my father, Mr. Morris.

00:10:09What happened?

00:10:10He'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, what are you doing here?

00:10:29To finish the date.

00:10:31I'm starving.

00:10:33It's a very expensive date.

00:10:36I'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 White Frig Mansion?

00:10:53Yeah, I did.

00:10:55I helped my dad with the gardens, and 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?

00:11:13He 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 were not the terrible person you made yourself out to be.

00:11:24You've known me for one day.

00:11:26What was your conclusion, Sherlock?

00:11:30Well, this is old.

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, that 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.

00:12:52Morning.

00:13:02Coffee or tea?

00:13:04Uh, coffee.

00:13:11You never make me breakfast.

00:13:15Last night must have been record-breaking.

00:13:19I mean...

00:13:23I'm breaking up with you.

00:13:28What do you mean?

00:13:29Well, more of an ending than a break-up, really.

00:13:31We need to stop.

00:13:33Whatever this is.

00:13:35What about last night?

00:13:37Consider it a break-up gift.

00:13:39Break-up? We weren't even together.

00:13:41Exactly.

00:13:45It shouldn't be too hard to move on.

00:13:52Happy 7th Anniversary, Mabel!

00:13:54Anniversary?

00:13:56I mean, 70 years of what for?

00:13:58Sounds nice, doesn't it?

00:14:00Wow, it really has been that long.

00:14:02Thanks, Mabel.

00:14:04You guys are so sweet.

00:14:06What are you doing?

00:14:08What are you doing?

00:14:10Boss, it's her special day.

00:14:12So?

00:14:14We have the most important thing to do.

00:14:16What is it?

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!

00:14:48I love you.

00:15:18Happy Anniversary, Mabel.

00:15:26Someone might see us.

00:15:28Tell me no one will.

00:15:40Happy Anniversary, Mabel.

00:15:48It was fun while it lasted.

00:15:56Hello, this is Mabel.

00:15:58Evening, Mabel.

00:16:00Ryan, what an honor.

00:16:02You want to 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 an NDA?

00:16:36Or because you are happy?

00:16:38The latter.

00:16:40Although, if I did sign an NDA,

00:16:42I couldn't really share otherwise, could 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.

00:16:54Let'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?

00:17:10Novatech?

00:17:12But I thought you said you were...

00:17:14Dick Gardner's son.

00:17:16Yes, I still am.

00:17:18But I'm not defined by what my father does.

00:17:20Even if Barbara thinks so.

00:17:22After years of education

00:17:24and a lot of hard work,

00:17:26I find myself at MIT

00:17:28and started my own company.

00:17:30It's good to own something of your own, right?

00:17:32That's incredible, Ryan.

00:17:34And I'm grateful for the opportunity

00:17:36to work with you.

00:17:38I'm grateful for the opportunity

00:17:40but I already have a job

00:17:42and I'm just an assistant.

00:17:44So I'm sure there are other people

00:17:46much more qualified than me out there.

00:17:48You're not just anyone.

00:17:50You're the key success to the Wipers project.

00:17:52It's time for you to get outside

00:17:54of Jonathan's shadow.

00:17:56So, cheers

00:17:58to chasing

00:18:00what you truly deserve.

00:18:08Cheers.

00:18:16Oh, Miss Wipard.

00:18:18Um, Jonathan's left.

00:18:20I'm here to see you.

00:18:22How was everything with Ryan?

00:18:24It was pleasant.

00:18:26Thank you for the introduction.

00:18:28When do you plan to marry him?

00:18:30We've only just met.

00:18:34I've warned you.

00:18:36No marriage.

00:18:38No job

00:18:40at Whiteford Tech.

00:18:42And you will be banned

00:18:44from 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

00:18:58debts.

00:19:00If not,

00:19:02those seeking him will find him.

00:19:04Perhaps

00:19:06Jonathan is the one who needs guidance.

00:19:08Not me.

00:19:10I don't think you understand the situation.

00:19:12You are nothing

00:19:14to Jonathan.

00:19:16At most, a shadow

00:19:18of 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

00:19:32last warning.

00:19:54Uh, no. I just...

00:19:56Your driver

00:19:58couldn't get a hold of you. He was concerned.

00:20:00Mr. Whiteford,

00:20:02it's October 5th.

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...

00:20:12Clear

00:20:14everything for today. Okay.

00:20:16I've kept your calendar clear, as always.

00:20:18Um...

00:20:20The car, Mr. Whiteford.

00:20:22Right. I'll see you...

00:20:24At the office?

00:20:26Right.

00:20:30Hello?

00:20:32Oh.

00:20:34Uh, okay. I'm on my way.

00:20:40The entire server crashed!

00:20:42Where is Mr. Whiteford?

00:20:44What 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. Okay, he's out of the office.

00:20:52Let me just try contacting him, okay?

00:20:56We need that code.

00:20:58Do you have access to it?

00:21:00No, that code is highly confidential.

00:21:02Jonathan is the sole owner.

00:21:04Let me try.

00:21:12What is this?

00:21:14We're completely offline. Come on, Mabo.

00:21:16You know you're the best. It won't.

00:21:20Try Fiona.

00:21:22F-I-O-N-A.

00:21:24F-I-O-N-A.

00:21:26Fiona.

00:21:28Give it a shot.

00:21:32Fiona.

00:21:34Give 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.

00:21:50A reminder of a heartbreak.

00:21:54A reminder of a heartbreak.

00:22:02Hello, Jonathan.

00:22:04Good to see you.

00:22:06How may I help you?

00:22:08Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?

00:22:10Oh, no.

00:22:12That's not Mabo.

00:22:16That's my sister Fiona.

00:22:18Jonathan's first love.

00:22:24Hi.

00:22:34Next, Mabel Morris.

00:22:50Hello.

00:22:54You know,

00:22:56coding demands intense focus

00:22:58and absolute silence.

00:23:02That's why having a capable

00:23:04assistant to help with

00:23:06other things like interviews

00:23:08is crucial.

00:23:18Fiona.

00:23:20I'm Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford.

00:23:22Here's my resume.

00:23:26Mabel.

00:23:28Nice to meet you.

00:23:42When can you start?

00:23:44Tomorrow.

00:23:46No, actually, today.

00:23:48Welcome to Whiteford Tech.

00:23:52Mabel.

00:23:54Mabel.

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

00:24:12years ago, I was concerned.

00:24:14I thought you'd actually fallen

00:24:16for someone.

00:24:18But then I saw you

00:24:20and I knew there was nothing to worry about.

00:24:22To Jonathan,

00:24:24you're just a 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.

00:24:36Oh, Mabel.

00:24:38Did you actually think you stood a chance?

00:24:42You pathetic

00:24:44slut.

00:24:46Fuck 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.

00:25:20Hey, Mabel.

00:25:24What's wrong?

00:25:30There was an attack on the system

00:25:32at work today.

00:25:34Okay.

00:25:36Well, since you're here

00:25:38and not at the office, I assume it's resolved?

00:25:42You bastard.

00:25:44What is it?

00:25:46I don't know.

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.

00:26:06So,

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's 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?

00:26:46Yeah.

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

00:27:12and

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.

00:27:26But it turns out

00:27:28I was just a replacement.

00:27:30A replacement for some sick,

00:27:32twisted obsession

00:27:34that you can't get over.

00:27:36I'm shadowing for a dead girlfriend.

00:27:38All those years.

00:27:40What do you get?

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?

00:27:54That's the reality of it, Jonathan.

00:27:56She is both.

00:28:04I'm Mabel Morris.

00:28:06I'm not...

00:28:10I'm not your dead girlfriend.

00:28:12I'm not Fiona.

00:28:18You're right.

00:28:22You're not her.

00:28:24Nobody is.

00:28:26I'm sorry.

00:28:36I've submitted my resignation.

00:28:40Thank you for the opportunity.

00:28:42Years ago, I learned a lot.

00:28:46Goodbye, Mr. Whiteford.

00:28:56Fuck!

00:29:12You said you were a friend of Mr. Morris's?

00:29:14A friend of his daughter, Mabel, actually.

00:29:16Ah, yes, Mabel.

00:29:18She's quite sweet and caring.

00:29:20Absolutely.

00:29:22She asked me to come check on Scott.

00:29:24How's his condition?

00:29:26He's well.

00:29:30With a little rest, he should recover fully.

00:29:32That's good news.

00:29:44He's at Silver Pine Hospital.

00:29:46Tell his creditors.

00:29:48I knew you had it in you.

00:29:50I knew you had it in you.

00:29:54Mrs. Whiteford, I was just...

00:29:56Spare me the excuses, Julie.

00:30:00I've seen what you're capable of.

00:30:02Years ago.

00:30:14Mrs. Whiteford, there's been a misunderstanding.

00:30:16Julie, cut it.

00:30:20Fiona was sweet.

00:30:22But too naive for our world.

00:30:24Her innocence was a liability.

00:30:26I tried separating

00:30:28Jonathan and Fiona for years.

00:30:30But Jonathan was so invested.

00:30:32Even ignoring

00:30:34this family to pursue his little

00:30:36tech project.

00:30:38All encouraged by Fiona.

00:30:40Luckily, his project succeeded.

00:30:42But not without him taking down

00:30:44his father's legacy first.

00:30:46We could have been so much more

00:30:48influential, so powerful.

00:30:52But just when

00:30:54I thought all was lost,

00:30:56Fiona was out of the picture.

00:31:00Her death was no coincidence, Julie.

00:31:02God plays no favors.

00:31:04I see your hand

00:31:06in her car accident.

00:31:10How long have you known?

00:31:12Oh, Julie.

00:31:14I've known from the start.

00:31:18What happened?

00:31:20Oh, he's...

00:31:22His deck light just caught up to him.

00:31:24Will he be okay?

00:31:26For the worst, he's lost a lot of blood.

00:31:30Someone must have tipped him off.

00:31:32We're investigating. We'll do our best

00:31:34to locate his attackers.

00:31:36I've warned you.

00:31:42It's Barbara Whiteford.

00:31:44The 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

00:31:52is not significant enough for Barbara Whiteford.

00:31:54You don't understand.

00:31:56I got too close to her son, and she told me...

00:31:58Please calm down.

00:32:00No, you don't understand.

00:32:02Unfortunately, we couldn't

00:32:04save your father.

00:32:06He passed away.

00:32:10No.

00:32:12No.

00:32:14Wait, no.

00:32:20No!

00:32:38Mama.

00:32:40After you left,

00:32:42Dad was never the same.

00:32:48When you left us,

00:32:52I lost you.

00:32:58I always thought

00:33:00it would get better.

00:33:04But it didn't.

00:33:06I'm sorry.

00:33:12I didn't feel like a nobody.

00:33:16I failed.

00:33:18I failed at everything.

00:33:28Leave me alone.

00:33:36Leave me alone.

00:33:42I got food from your favorite place.

00:33:46You don't have to talk to me, but

00:33:48please eat something.

00:33:54Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.

00:34:06I'll leave you be.

00:34:08But are you okay?

00:34:10Do you want to talk about it?

00:34:12I'm managing.

00:34:14Food helped.

00:34:20You don't have to smile

00:34:22if 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.

00:34:36And 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?

00:34:44A dead girlfriend? Wait.

00:34:48You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.

00:34:50So you knew. You knew all this time.

00:34:52But you two are completely different.

00:34:58I didn't lose a lover.

00:35:00It was my mother I lost.

00:35:04I'm sorry.

00:35:06It's okay.

00:35:10This whole week is just like...

00:35:12Everything

00:35:14feels so pointless.

00:35:16That's a natural feeling

00:35:18to have.

00:35:20I used to mock existentialism.

00:35:22I get it now.

00:35:24I love how intelligent you sound.

00:35:26Even now.

00:35:28Stop.

00:35:30No, seriously.

00:35:32Modern day Socrates.

00:35:34Thank you, Ryan.

00:35:46Thank you, Ryan.

00:35:48For the food and the talk.

00:35:50Blessed food.

00:35:52Still so addicted.

00:35:54They definitely put drugs in it.

00:35:56Hey.

00:35:58Hey, if you need anything,

00:36:00just call me.

00:36:02I will. I think I just need some time

00:36:04to think things over.

00:36:06Have you considered your next steps?

00:36:08Not sure.

00:36:10Quit my job. Settled the debts.

00:36:12Now the world's just kind of open

00:36:14to me. Strange.

00:36:16Yeah. Well, there's a spot

00:36:18for you at Novatek.

00:36:20Sure. Let me lead it.

00:36:22You're the best one to lead it.

00:36:24Give it a shot.

00:36:26I'll think about it. Seriously.

00:36:28That's all I can ask.

00:36:36Mabel?

00:36:38Are you doing okay?

00:36:40Why 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.

00:36:52Are you 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

00:37:04that wasn't real.

00:37:08And now I finally know the truth.

00:37:10I thought what we had

00:37:12was real.

00:37:14But I was just a pill

00:37:16for a wound that won't heal.

00:37:22I truly loved you,

00:37:24Jonathan.

00:37:30Don't come looking for me again.

00:37:32Leave me alone.

00:37:34It's my final request.

00:37:44And this is the upstairs division.

00:37:48What do you think?

00:37:50It's so lively.

00:37:52That's the goal.

00:37:54Hey, I'm in. But I have one condition.

00:37:56I'd like to work

00:37:58from a different city.

00:38:00Why's that?

00:38:02Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.

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

00:38:12you trust by your side.

00:38:14I'm listening.

00:38:16How cute is this?

00:38:18Welcome to the team.

00:38:20Let me show you around.

00:38:30Sir, you have a meeting with the creative team

00:38:32in 15 minutes.

00:38:34Right.

00:38:36Bring me their pitch deck

00:38:38and latest progress report.

00:38:40And see if Mabel is ready

00:38:42for the creative discussion.

00:38:44Mabel doesn't work here anymore.

00:38:46I can get someone else to help with her.

00:38:56She can't be replaced.

00:39:00There's no one like her.

00:39:06Why don't you start in the living room?

00:39:10What?

00:39:13What is happening here?

00:39:15We're just doing our job, sir.

00:39:17Please don't interrupt.

00:39:19Where are these going?

00:39:21They're going to the donation.

00:39:23They don't already left.

00:39:31Get out.

00:39:33Then?

00:39:37Do you not want to talk?

00:39:40You haven't been this way since Fiona.

00:39:42Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?

00:39:44Just move on.

00:39:46Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.

00:39:48She's clearly just a fill-in for Fiona.

00:39:50Nothing more than her look-alike.

00:39:52She's different.

00:39:54Funny, professional.

00:39:56She makes me feel good about myself.

00:39:58She's Mabel.

00:40:00And I actually like her for who she is.

00:40:10What about our engagement?

00:40:12Julie.

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 since the day we met.

00:40:30I sacrificed so much for that dream.

00:40:32I lost everything.

00:40:36What do you mean by that?

00:40:38Nothing.

00:40:40I can't see the ceiling.

00:40:42What are you hiding?

00:40:44Nothing. I was just saying that...

00:40:46Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?

00:40:48I don't have to answer your accusation.

00:40:50You're delusional.

00:40:52Did you?

00:40:54This is silly.

00:40:56Baby, we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?

00:41:02Just sleep this off,

00:41:04and we'll talk tomorrow.

00:41:08Okay.

00:41:16All right, give me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.

00:41:18It's urgent.

00:41:24The hospital's footage was erased,

00:41:26but a doctor remembers a young woman claiming to be Mabel's friend.

00:41:28A young woman?

00:41:30Yes, sir.

00:41:32A detailed description matches

00:41:34Miss Miller.

00:41:36Julie.

00:41:38Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?

00:41:40No, don't bother.

00:41:42Any 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.

00:42:06Okay, pull over. Right here. Stop.

00:42:08Mabel!

00:42:10Are you insane?

00:42:12What the hell are you doing?

00:42:18Mabel, where are you?

00:42:20Doctor, don't go.

00:42:24Come on.

00:42:26Wait, Mabel, Mabel!

00:42:36Did you know about Mabel's departure?

00:42:38I know she left with Ryan Anderson,

00:42:40the servant's son.

00:42:42It's a good match. You should be happy for her.

00:42:44Were you part of this?

00:42:48Jonathan,

00:42:50Mabel made her own choice.

00:42:52No one pushed her.

00:42:54She has her life. We have ours.

00:42:56They don't intersect.

00:42:58Remember, you have responsibilities.

00:43:00The wedding's next month.

00:43:02I won't marry Julie.

00:43:04I won't be a pawn

00:43:06in 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!

00:43:18I know it's already too late,

00:43:20but my feelings for her are real.

00:43:24I'll wait for her.

00:43:26I'll wait as long as it takes,

00:43:28because this is my life!

00:43:30And I'll spend it with Mabel.

00:43:34I love you.

00:43:50Mabel, turn it off.

00:43:54Mabel!

00:43:58Okay, you lazy bone.

00:44:00Come on. There's a meeting to attend to.

00:44:02Programmed you too well, didn't I?

00:44:04I learned it myself.

00:44:06Exactly. That's why I said

00:44:08I programmed you too well.

00:44:10Show off.

00:44:24The driver is ten minutes away.

00:44:26Got it.

00:44:28Got 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.

00:44:40I'll make 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.

00:44:52Please come home. Your mother's condition is critical.

00:44:58Okay.

00:45:04What happened?

00:45:06She suffered a stroke last week.

00:45:08Okay. Mom. Mom.

00:45:10Shoulder's never red.

00:45:12She's all right for now.

00:45:14But she might not speak again.

00:45:16What?

00:45:18A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford.

00:45:20She's lucky she's even breathing.

00:45:24Sweet.

00:45:26Hi.

00:45:30What can I do to help?

00:45:32Keep her calm.

00:45:34She's a fighter.

00:45:36She might be able to pull through.

00:45:38Excuse me?

00:45:40I'm here.

00:45:44Mabel, this is my father

00:45:46who I've been telling you about.

00:45:48Mabel, it's such a pleasure.

00:45:50Ryan's told me so much about you.

00:45:52Likewise. He's going on about

00:45:54those unique seeds that you've been planting.

00:45:58He's kind of nerdy sometimes.

00:46:00Oh, so nerdy.

00:46:12Hey.

00:46:14When did you return?

00:46:16Mabel, we can leave this here.

00:46:18No need.

00:46:20We're just chatting.

00:46:22Jonathan, it's nice to see you.

00:46:24I was just looking for you.

00:46:26You deliberately ignored my request.

00:46:28I asked to be left alone.

00:46:30Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.

00:46:32Everything was sorted.

00:46:34It's all behind us.

00:46:38Hey, Jonathan.

00:46:40They're just here to visit an old man.

00:46:42Isn't that okay?

00:46:44Dad, this is your home as well.

00:46:46We don't need his approval.

00:46:48Actually, Jack, I was thinking

00:46:50the same thing too.

00:46:52You live together, huh?

00:46:54It's none of your business.

00:46:56Mabel, I just wanted to...

00:46:58I see you haven't changed.

00:47:00Sorry, Jack.

00:47:02I just remembered I have a phone call

00:47:04that I need to make.

00:47:06Mabel.

00:47:12We can talk about it, you know.

00:47:14About the product launch?

00:47:16My only concern is the interface.

00:47:18Mabel, it's okay to be upset with Jonathan.

00:47:20No need to hide it.

00:47:22He's just a competitor now.

00:47:24Speaking of which, the new app at Whiteford Tech

00:47:26is dominating the charts. We should look into that.

00:47:28Can I ask you something?

00:47:30If you're going to say something irritating,

00:47:32I'm not interested.

00:47:34Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?

00:47:36No.

00:47:40He broke my heart once.

00:47:42I'm not going to give him a second chance.

00:47:48This is Mabel.

00:47:50Head of Creatives.

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, welcome.

00:48:10Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.

00:48:12He's shown great interest

00:48:14in this product launch.

00:48:16He's shown great interest in this product

00:48:18and requested to join us

00:48:20at this meeting.

00:48:22I hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.

00:48:24Considering the product is still under testing,

00:48:26we typically limit our attendance.

00:48:28He's welcome to join.

00:48:30I'm intrigued

00:48:32to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.

00:48:34His insight is invaluable.

00:48:38Run up and take a seat.

00:48:40I love being part of the creative process.

00:48:42What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.

00:48:46At the end of the day,

00:48:48our product is really exciting,

00:48:50and thank you all so much

00:48:52for spending your afternoon with us at Novatec.

00:48:54We are thrilled to be doing business with you.

00:48:58Well, this sounds like a game-changer.

00:49:00Congratulations.

00:49:02Mr. Whiteford,

00:49:04what are your thoughts?

00:49:08It's good.

00:49:10Surely, as a leader

00:49:12in this industry,

00:49:14you have more to offer

00:49:16than good.

00:49:18I don't think it's my place to say more.

00:49:20If we always play it safe,

00:49:22we'll never achieve perfection.

00:49:26You've grown a lot, Mabel.

00:49:30It's a strong product,

00:49:32but not yet a market leader.

00:49:34But there's potential.

00:49:36Your money needs more clarity.

00:49:38It's affecting your overall product.

00:49:40You need to improve

00:49:42your interactive system.

00:49:44It's far too rapid.

00:49:46And the interface needs to be more user-friendly.

00:49:48You know this.

00:49:50But overall,

00:49:52truly,

00:49:54well done.

00:49:56Proud of you.

00:49:58Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.

00:50:00Sorry.

00:50:02I sometimes get carried away

00:50:04with talent for teens.

00:50:06Well, then.

00:50:08Let's crumple some numbers, shall we?

00:50:10Yes.

00:50:12Who 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.

00:50:28I'm looking forward to launching it.

00:50:30But then if it's non-stop,

00:50:32we're going to get some rest.

00:50:34You still had time to find

00:50:36the handsome lawyer.

00:50:38Wait, you knew about it?

00:50:40Ryan, you are the only guy

00:50:42who hasn't made a pass at me.

00:50:44I had my suspicions.

00:50:46I thought Barbara set us up for that reason,

00:50:48but she's clueless.

00:50:50Still hoping for a wedding.

00:50:54I'll see you tomorrow.

00:50:56Absolutely. And hey, if you hear anything,

00:50:58especially about Jonathan, just ask.

00:51:00It's all behind me.

00:51:02Don't worry.

00:51:22Hey.

00:51:24Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?

00:51:26Just a coincidence, Miss Morris.

00:51:28See, um, I live here, too.

00:51:30Yeah, right.

00:51:34Hey.

00:51:48Can you give me some space?

00:51:56When did you move here?

00:51:58Because I was under the impression

00:52:00that this space housed one.

00:52:04It houses two.

00:52:14Oh, what a coincidence.

00:52:16I live here, too.

00:52:18Guess what?

00:52:20My passcode is still Fiona.

00:52:22Is his passcode still Fiona?

00:52:24Stop it.

00:52:26Why do you care?

00:52:34Been a while, Mabel.

00:52:36That's an early night.

00:52:38Rough day?

00:52:40Actually, it's one of the best days of my life.

00:52:42Really?

00:52:44What happened?

00:52:46Good night, Mabel.

00:52:56Need a ride, Miss Morris?

00:52:58No, thank you.

00:53:00I prefer to walk.

00:53:02Are you kidding? It's about to rain.

00:53:04Come on.

00:53:16Busy day ahead?

00:53:18You seemed really occupied yesterday.

00:53:20The DL was a quiet ride.

00:53:22You know, I have a tip for your product,

00:53:24if you're interested.

00:53:30Okay, fine. What is it?

00:53:32The interface needs a better visual hierarchy.

00:53:34The uniform font size is causing confusion,

00:53:36but a little variation can help.

00:53:38You're right.

00:53:42We wanted simplicity,

00:53:44but maybe too much, though.

00:53:46It's a good approach,

00:53:48but you need to experiment a bit.

00:53:50You need to experiment a bit.

00:53:52Maybe all of a sudden it will all break up, Mabel.

00:53:54Hello?

00:54:18Her condition worsened.

00:54:20We thought it would be best if you were here.

00:54:24Is there anything that can be done for her?

00:54:26We've done everything.

00:54:30Her vitals are going quickly.

00:54:32I'm so sorry.

00:54:34I'm going to get some medicine, okay?

00:54:40Mom.

00:54:42Hey.

00:54:44I'm right here.

00:54:48Are you seeing me?

00:54:50Is there anything we can get for you?

00:54:52I'm leaving you.

00:54:54Mom, no.

00:54:56You're fine.

00:54:58We're taking good care of you.

00:55:00My son.

00:55:02I'm truly sorry.

00:55:10You're the best mom I could have ever had.

00:55:14I want you

00:55:16to be happy.

00:55:18I am happy.

00:55:20I am happy.

00:55:22I'm happy.

00:55:26After Fiona,

00:55:28I saw how you suffered.

00:55:32I regret so many.

00:55:38I overlooked things

00:55:40after Fiona's death.

00:55:44You changed so much.

00:55:46What do you mean, Mom?

00:55:48Just promise me

00:55:50you'll be happy

00:55:52with Mabel or anyone else.

00:55:56Promise me.

00:56:02It's time you learned

00:56:04the truth

00:56:06about everything.

00:56:08Oh, my God.

00:56:10It's official.

00:56:12Michael Weifert just died.

00:56:14Really?

00:56:16What happened?

00:56:18It was sudden.

00:56:20John Weifert confirmed it.

00:56:22Are you okay?

00:56:24Um...

00:56:26I have to...

00:56:28Go. Take the day off.

00:56:30Take the day off.

00:56:50Facial recognition

00:56:52successful. Welcome,

00:56:54Mabel.

00:56:56Facial recognition, huh?

00:57:00Jonathan?

00:57:06Why are you here?

00:57:12I saw the news.

00:57:14Are you okay?

00:57:16I'll manage.

00:57:18Do you need anything?

00:57:20Do you want to talk?

00:57:22Why are you here?

00:57:24Is it because you care?

00:57:26I understand what it feels like

00:57:28to lose a parent.

00:57:30But that's not why you're here.

00:57:32You care.

00:57:34Don't you?

00:57:36I was concerned.

00:57:38But if you're fine, I should go.

00:57:40Please don't go. Please.

00:57:42Have you been drinking?

00:57:44Jonathan, this is so inappropriate.

00:57:46Mabel, Mabel, listen.

00:57:48Listening. Mabel signing in.

00:57:50How can I help, Jonathan?

00:57:52Listen.

00:57:58What is that?

00:58:00Hello, Miss Morris.

00:58:02I'm Mabel, an AI

00:58:04modeled after you.

00:58:06Mabel, Mabel, stop!

00:58:08Wait, wait.

00:58:14I'm sorry.

00:58:16I'm sorry.

00:58:18This was my way of coping with your absence.

00:58:20It was never meant to be discovered like this.

00:58:28This is too much.

00:58:32This isn't just obsession. This is unhealthy.

00:58:34I know. It's wrong.

00:58:38Please, I'll never bother you again.

00:58:40Just give me some time

00:58:42and I'll go. I swear.

00:58:44Are you okay, Jonathan?

00:58:50Yes.

00:58:52Yes. Thank you.

00:59:08You were right about the rain.

00:59:10Yeah.

00:59:26Yeah.

00:59:28Outstanding, Mabel.

00:59:30This product will be a hit.

00:59:34You know Mr. Whiteford today?

00:59:36Yes.

00:59:38He wished to come but couldn't make it.

00:59:40He was caught up

00:59:42with family matters.

00:59:44Did you hear about his mother?

00:59:48Morning.

00:59:52I'm here to announce the passing

00:59:54of my mother, Barbara Whiteford

00:59:56due to a

00:59:58severe stroke.

01:00:00It's a challenging time for our family

01:00:02and we appreciate your thoughts.

01:00:04While we mourn,

01:00:06I also need to address serious matters

01:00:08involving Julie Miller,

01:00:10a close associate

01:00:12of our family.

01:00:14Years ago, Fiona Miller,

01:00:16my then girlfriend and I, developed a system

01:00:18named after her

01:00:20that laid the foundation for Whiteford Tech.

01:00:22Her untimely death,

01:00:24I recently learned, was orchestrated

01:00:26by her sister,

01:00:28Julie Miller,

01:00:30with my mother's knowledge.

01:00:32Moreover,

01:00:34Julie Miller has been involved

01:00:36in other immoral acts.

01:00:38She hired

01:00:40gang members for violent acts

01:00:42and caused deep harm to someone close to my heart.

01:00:46I'm not seeking forgiveness for the family.

01:00:48I only want justice.

01:00:50Julie now

01:00:52stands trial for her actions.

01:00:54The Fiona system,

01:00:56pivotal in uncovering

01:00:58these truths, will now be

01:01:00decommissioned and made

01:01:02publicly available for the advancement

01:01:04of technology.

01:01:06It's time for fresh perspectives.

01:01:08I'm stepping down.

01:01:12Whiteford Tech will now be under NOVA,

01:01:14led by Ryan Anderson

01:01:16and Mabel Morris,

01:01:18whose leadership and vision I trust.

01:01:20This will be my last

01:01:22public appearance.

01:01:24All my shares in Whiteford Tech will be transferred

01:01:26to 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.

01:01:40We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.

01:01:58Hey.

01:02:04Hey, Jonathan.

01:02:06Sup?

01:02:10Hey, why did you

01:02:12leave the company and all of your shares?

01:02:14What the...

01:02:18Facial recognition successful.

01:02:20Welcome, Mabel.

01:02:28Where's Jonathan?

01:02:30He has moved away.

01:02:32He is, I quote,

01:02:34giving you space.

01:02:36He...

01:02:38Where?

01:02:40I'm afraid I don't know.

01:02:44He really left everything behind.

01:02:46He said

01:02:48it would be for the best.

01:02:50Maybe he's right.

01:02:54Maybe it is for the best.

01:03:20I found the programmer

01:03:22that you've been looking for.

01:03:24Here's everything on him.

01:03:26The best we could dig up.

01:03:30Hey, we need to learn to take some more breaks.

01:03:32Some of them are way too high

01:03:34for the rest of us.

01:03:38I'll slow down

01:03:40once we've got more skilled people

01:03:42like this one working for us.

01:03:50Thanks, Crystal.

01:03:52Good to see you.

01:04:00Facial recognition successful.

01:04:02Welcome, Mabel.

01:04:16Nice work, Jonathan.

01:04:18Nice work, Jonathan.

01:04:20Mabel.

01:04:24How did you...

01:04:26Weeks ago, we discovered

01:04:28a mysterious programmer.

01:04:30Their work was outstanding.

01:04:32I just had to know who it was.

01:04:36I'm sorry.

01:04:38I got bored.

01:04:40I wanted something to do.

01:04:42Recoding gave you away.

01:04:44I felt familiar, like you.

01:04:46The way the numbers and the figures

01:04:48went together, I don't know,

01:04:50it kind of felt romantic.

01:04:52Why did you leave everything behind?

01:04:54Don't you miss it?

01:04:58I wanted to

01:05:00fix my mistakes.

01:05:02Help you.

01:05:04I want you to be happy, Mabel.

01:05:08You left without saying goodbye.

01:05:10I know.

01:05:12I'm sorry.

01:05:14I knew you wouldn't forgive me if I left, but

01:05:16I needed to distance myself from you.

01:05:18It was the only way I knew

01:05:20how to forgive you.

01:05:22You succeeded.

01:05:26And good.

01:05:32Oh, wait.

01:05:36At Novatec, we offer

01:05:38competitive pay and

01:05:40flexible schedules with remote

01:05:42opportunities and

01:05:44free meals.

01:05:46Sounds good.

01:05:48There's more.

01:05:50We have benefits, like penny

01:05:52and child care supports

01:05:54and

01:05:56fun company events.

01:05:58So,

01:06:00Jonathan Whiteford,

01:06:02how would you feel about joining Novatec?

01:06:04As an

01:06:06executive?

01:06:08No, as staff, but I would be thrilled to have you

01:06:10as a senior programmer.

01:06:14Pretty good offer.

01:06:16Also,

01:06:18there are no

01:06:20restrictions

01:06:22about relationships

01:06:24with colleagues, so

01:06:26if you happen to like someone

01:06:28at work,

01:06:30it's cool.

01:06:32That's good to know.
