00:00:17Mr. Whiteford your meeting is in 30 minutes. You smoking cigarettes?
00:00:22It's an important meeting. I need to get ready. You can be a little softer in the morning.
00:00:32A little makes a buzz kill. Good morning to you too.
00:00:40I've never had Mediterranean food before so he immediately takes me to this restaurant on
00:00:4545th. Jonathan he's quite the romantic.
00:00:51Oh Mabel right? I'm sorry I didn't mean to take your seat. Come join us.
00:00:56We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:01:00Oh Mabel would know. She schedules everything for Jonathan.
00:01:05Oh right his personal assistant. It's nice to meet you. I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiance.
00:01:12Nice to meet you Miss Miller. Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal.
00:01:18Take this as it. I've read so many wonderful things about you Mabel. Julie what are you doing here?
00:01:29It's just a surprise visit for my lovely fiance.
00:01:45Julie I thought we discussed about keeping boundaries.
00:01:48In front of everyone play the part Jonathan. We're engaged remember?
00:01:54Mabel are you ready for the meeting? Yes everything's prepared.
00:01:58Good I want you to take the lead this time. Lead the meeting?
00:02:01Yes you've earned it. Feel up for it? Absolutely.
00:02:08Thank you Mr. Whiteford. No formalities. Come on let's go we're gonna be late.
00:02:16Always work first with him huh?
00:02:28Oh well well congratulations on nailing the pitch Mabel. Well I learned from the best.
00:02:46Adam is he as usual? Mom I thought we agreed on calling first. Since when do I need permission
00:03:05to see my son? What's the matter? We are hosting a joint family dinner with the Millers.
00:03:13You and Julie are expected to be there. We agreed to delay the engagement.
00:03:16This is not up for debate. You will attend the family dinner.
00:03:25And you should join us well Mabel.
00:03:43Okay a toast to the union.
00:03:51Mabel can you pour me some wine? Mabel's a guest. Of course.
00:03:56Miss Miller? Soon to be Mrs. Whiteford. Dad I'm still your daughter.
00:04:03We are so excited to welcome you into our family.
00:04:07This is the first joyful dinner we've had since Fiona. With Jonathan and Julie together
00:04:20it almost feels like Fiona is with us here again. Mom we are so looking forward to this marriage.
00:04:32Looking forward to this marriage?
00:04:37I'm full. Please enjoy.
00:04:42Are you okay? Oh I'm so sorry I thought you were someone else.
00:05:02Who are you looking for? Jonathan Whiteford. The owner of the mansion? You uh must be his
00:05:09girlfriend. No just his assistant. I see. I'm Ryan. My father is the gardener here.
00:05:16I know the house really well. I actually may be able to help you. Jonathan has a few favorite
00:05:21spots around here. Though he doesn't visit much nowadays. He does have quite a few properties.
00:05:27Yes he prefers to live alone. Is that so? Oh good you've met.
00:05:34I was thinking of setting you two up on a date. You make a cute couple.
00:05:40A date? Yes Mabel. Ryan's a fine young man and you're a diligent worker. You make a good match.
00:05:56Well it's a kind offer but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.
00:06:02No offense. None taken. Anyway I should go find Jonathan. He has a very early meeting.
00:06:10Mabel you're a smart girl. I know how busy you've been serving my son. What fun you've had.
00:06:19I don't understand. Let me clarify. You're barely a side dish. Now the main course is served.
00:06:28Stay away from my son or lose your position at the company and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:34Have I made myself clear?
00:06:40Now about you and Ryan. You're quite the pair. I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:07:04Good morning. The files are ready for you to sign. Thank you.
00:07:15Were you okay last night? What's on my schedule for today?
00:07:23One meeting in the morning, two in the afternoon and Julie wants a dinner date.
00:07:29I've set up calendar alerts.
00:07:44You're wearing a new perfume today. You have plans later? Yes. Ms. Whiteford set me up for a date.
00:07:51Ms. Whiteford set me up for a date. It's after work. A date?
00:07:58Are you joking? You're not the only one inclined for a bit of romance. Jonathan.
00:08:04Before we start, you should know that I am a messy eater and I hate cats. I'm also indifferent
00:08:22to humanity and climate change. We can just agree that this wasn't a match.
00:08:28And that's your strategy for tonight? Tell me more about yourself. What do you want to know?
00:08:34Family? My mom died and my father is a gambler. You'd inherit his debts at the altar.
00:08:41Delightful company you are. I'm a walking dead fly. Who knows? I might even become an abuser.
00:08:47An abuser? Do you use ropes? What? You see, I enjoy being tied up so I'm rather intrigued.
00:08:58Weirdo. Says Ms. Monsterdate.
00:09:12You're Jack's son. He was such a talented gardener. A favorite servant of mine growing up.
00:09:19If you don't mind, we're on a date. Oh and having fun, I see.
00:09:24We would be without any interruptions.
00:09:38I'm on my way. Okay, sorry. I have to go.
00:09:45Me too.
00:09:51Excuse me, I am here for my father, Mr. Morris. What happened? He's stable now.
00:09:56Predators got rough with him. Broke a couple ribs but he's breathing.
00:10:02How do I pay for the bills? They've been paid for. By whom?
00:10:07Ryan, what are you doing here? Finished the date. I'm starving.
00:10:18It's a very expensive date. I'll pay you back. Later. For now, let's get something to eat.
00:10:24So, you grew up in the White Frig Mansion? Yeah, I did. I helped my dad with the gardens
00:10:41and we planted exotic flowers from around the world. Paradise for plant geeks, for sure.
00:10:47I'm super nerdy.
00:10:49You were serious about your father's deaths, weren't you? He was a gambler. He's changed but
00:11:01it still haunts us. I just hope to one day settle the debts. You were not the terrible
00:11:06person you made yourself out to be. You've known me for one day. Hold your conclusion, Sherlock.
00:11:13Well, this is lul. Good night, nerd. Good night, monster date.
00:11:32It's late. Where you been?
00:11:34Were you out with him all night? It's my personal time. I don't have to report
00:11:46everything to you. So, it went well then? Your mother set us up, Jonathan. How could I refuse?
00:11:52Good. So, that was all just for show. Well, I actually had a really nice time. I might consider
00:11:57a second date. I can still smell Julie's perfume. Then come shower it off me.
00:12:05You went on a date with another man. You took another woman to a restaurant that I recommended.
00:12:09Jealous? Not as much as you.
00:12:35Morning. Coffee or tea? Uh, coffee.
00:12:56You never make me breakfast.
00:13:00Last night must have been record-breaking.
00:13:04I mean, I'm breaking up with you.
00:13:13What do you mean? Well, more of an ending than a breakup, really.
00:13:16We need to stop. Whatever this is. What about last night?
00:13:23Consider it a breakup gift. Breakup? We weren't even together. Exactly.
00:13:31Shouldn't be too hard to move on.
00:13:34Happy 7th Anniversary, Mabel!
00:13:49Anniversary? Yeah, I mean, seven years at Webber. Sounds nice, doesn't it?
00:13:54Wow, it really has been that long. Thanks, Mabel.
00:13:58You guys are so sweet. What are you doing? What are you doing?
00:14:02Uh, boss, it's her special day. So?
00:14:06We have the meeting with Harbour in an hour. Do your jobs!
00:15:02I thought you might see us. Tell me you don't want us.
00:15:25Happy anniversary, Mabel.
00:15:33It was fun while it lasted.
00:15:42Hello, this is Mabel. Evening, Mabel.
00:15:45Ryan, what an honor. You want to grab dinner together?
00:15:48Just as friends, of course. I'm not up for another dramatic date.
00:15:54Sure, why not? Um, where are we going?
00:15:56I know the perfect spot. I'll text you. See you soon.
00:16:03I'm so glad we got to try this place again. This is amazing.
00:16:07I know. I think they put some drugs in it or something.
00:16:10It'd be weird if they didn't. How could it be so addictive?
00:16:14How have you been lately? Can't complain.
00:16:18Because you signed an NDA? Or because you are happy?
00:16:22The latter. Although, if I did sign an NDA, I couldn't really share otherwise, could I?
00:16:28This is true. Hey, I asked you out on a date for a reason.
00:16:34I think we'd make excellent business partners. Business partners?
00:16:37Yeah, well, let's just say our first date was rather chaotic,
00:16:41so I wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you.
00:16:46I'm Ryan Anderson. I'm the founder of Novatech,
00:16:49and I would like for you to join us head of the creative strategies.
00:16:53Novatech?
00:16:59Novatech? But I thought you said you were—
00:17:02Dick Gardner's son. Yes, I still am, but I'm not defined by what my father does,
00:17:08even if Barbara thinks so. After years of education and a lot of hard work,
00:17:14I find myself at MIT and started my own company. It's good to own something of your own, right?
00:17:20That's incredible, Ryan, and I'm grateful for the opportunity,
00:17:24but I already have a job, and I'm just an assistant,
00:17:28so I'm sure there are other people much more qualified than me out there.
00:17:31You're not just anyone. You're the key success to the Whitebirds project.
00:17:36It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.
00:17:40So, cheers to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:17:50Oh, Miss Whitebird, Jonathan's left for the—
00:18:05I'm here to see you. How was everything with Ryan?
00:18:10It was pleasant. Thank you for the introduction.
00:18:14When do you plan to marry him?
00:18:16We've only just met.
00:18:19I've warned you. No marriage, no job at Whiteford Tech,
00:18:27and you will be banned from the industry. I've ended things with Jonathan.
00:18:32Then marry Ryan to prove it. I've done my research as well, Mabel.
00:18:39Leave my son, and I'll clear all your father's debts.
00:18:45If not, those seeking him will find him.
00:18:50Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance, not me.
00:18:54I don't think you understand the situation. You are nothing to Jonathan.
00:19:01At most, a shadow of his past pain, a reminder of a heartbreak.
00:19:07What do you mean? You don't know, do you?
00:19:14Marry Ryan. It's my last warning.
00:19:20Do I miss him, Pete?
00:19:39Uh, no. I just— your driver couldn't get a hold of you. He was concerned.
00:19:45Mr. Whiteford, it's October 15—
00:19:47Shit, shit.
00:19:49Always take your day off.
00:19:51It's okay. The car's out front.
00:19:53No, no, it's not okay. I never forget—
00:19:58Clear everything for today. Okay.
00:20:00I've kept your calendar clear, as always.
00:20:03Um, the car, Mr. Whiteford.
00:20:06Right. I'll, uh, I'll see you—
00:20:08At the office?
00:20:08Right.
00:20:14Hello?
00:20:15Mabel, where are you?
00:20:17Our server is down!
00:20:18Oh, uh, okay. I'm on my way.
00:20:25The entire server crashed! Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:29Pete, what happened?
00:20:30We are under attack. We need a system reboot.
00:20:32Where is Mr. Whiteford? We need his admin code. Now.
00:20:35Okay, he's out of the office. Let me just try contacting him, okay?
00:20:42We need that code. Do you have access to it?
00:20:44No, that code is highly confidential. Jonathan is the sole owner.
00:20:48Um, let me try.
00:20:57What are those?
00:20:58We're completely offline. Come on, Mabel. You know you're the best.
00:21:01It won't.
00:21:05Try Fiona. F-I-O-N-A.
00:21:11Fiona?
00:21:12Give it a shot.
00:21:15Remember that awkward dinner at the Whiteford's?
00:21:18This is Fiona. You are nothing to Jonathan.
00:21:24At most, a shadow of his past pain. A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:21:31At most, a shadow of his past pain. A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:21:46Hello, Jonathan. Good to see you. How may I help you?
00:21:53Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?
00:21:56Oh, no. That's not Mabel.
00:22:01That's my sister, Fiona. Jonathan's first love.
00:22:19Uh, next, Mabel Morris?
00:22:31Hello.
00:22:40You know, coding demands intense focus and absolute silence.
00:22:47That's why having a capable assistant to help with other things, like interviews, is crucial.
00:23:01Fiona.
00:23:04Um, I'm Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford. Here's my resume.
00:23:12Mabel.
00:23:13Nice to meet you.
00:23:27When can you start?
00:23:28Tomorrow.
00:23:30No, actually, today.
00:23:32Welcome to Whiteford Tech.
00:23:35M-A-B-E-L.
00:23:37M-A-B-E-L.
00:23:39Mabel.
00:23:47Mabel.
00:23:48Are you all right?
00:23:50I know. Shocking, isn't it?
00:23:53You know, when they mentioned you years ago, I was concerned.
00:23:57I thought you'd actually fallen for someone.
00:24:02But then I saw you, and I knew there was nothing to worry about.
00:24:07To Jonathan, you're just a reminder of my sister.
00:24:11He doesn't love you.
00:24:12You're nothing but a shadow to him.
00:24:14You are, at best, a placebo.
00:24:20Oh, Mabel.
00:24:22Did you actually think you stood a chance?
00:24:27You pathetic slut.
00:24:30Fuck off.
00:24:35Oh, do you know about today?
00:24:37I don't want to know.
00:24:38Fiona died today, seven years ago.
00:24:41He visits her grave on this day every year.
00:24:47You see?
00:24:49You're just a joke.
00:24:57M-A-B-E-L.
00:25:11Hey, Mabel.
00:25:15What's wrong?
00:25:20There was an attack on the system at work today.
00:25:23Okay.
00:25:24Well, since you're here and not at the office, I assume it's resolved?
00:25:30Your mask.
00:25:32What is it?
00:25:34What?
00:25:35The code, Jonathan. What is it?
00:25:37That's none of your business.
00:25:42Come on, uh, tell me about this attack.
00:25:44So, it's been fixed?
00:25:48We had to restart the system.
00:25:51System reboot, I see.
00:25:54It asked for an admin code.
00:25:56Why didn't you call me?
00:25:57I tried to, but it didn't go through.
00:26:01Signal down there.
00:26:02We got the code.
00:26:05You did?
00:26:07How?
00:26:08I don't know.
00:26:09I don't know how.
00:26:10I don't know how.
00:26:10I don't know how.
00:26:11I don't know how.
00:26:12I don't know how.
00:26:12I don't know how.
00:26:13I don't know how.
00:26:13I don't know how.
00:26:14How?
00:26:15Luckily,
00:26:18Julio is there.
00:26:23So, you've seen him.
00:26:25Fiona?
00:26:30Yeah.
00:26:35Fiona?
00:26:39Yeah.
00:26:41Mabel?
00:26:44I know you have a lot of questions.
00:26:45Actually, I found a lot of answers today.
00:26:52I thought I was lucky
00:26:56to have that job,
00:26:59to work at the company, to be by your side,
00:27:04to enter a relationship with you, or whatever that was.
00:27:07But it turns out, I was just a replacement.
00:27:15A replacement for some sick, twisted obsession that you can't get over.
00:27:20I'm shadowing for a dead girlfriend.
00:27:24All those years.
00:27:26What do you get?
00:27:30You're a fucking goat.
00:27:31Enough!
00:27:33Don't speak.
00:27:35Don't use that term.
00:27:36Dead?
00:27:37Ghost?
00:27:39That's the reality of it, Jonathan.
00:27:41She is both.
00:27:49I'm Mabel Morris.
00:27:52I'm not...
00:27:54I'm not your dead girlfriend.
00:27:56I'm not Fiona.
00:28:04You're right.
00:28:06You're not her.
00:28:08Nobody is.
00:28:20I've submitted my resignation.
00:28:24Thank you for the opportunity.
00:28:27Years ago, I learned a lot.
00:28:31Goodbye, Mr. Whiteford.
00:28:38Fuck!
00:29:00You said you were a friend of Mr. Morris's?
00:29:02A friend of his daughter, Mabel, actually.
00:29:04Ah, yes, Mabel.
00:29:06She's quite sweet and caring.
00:29:07Absolutely.
00:29:09She asked me to come check on Scott.
00:29:11How's his condition?
00:29:13He's well.
00:29:16With a little rest, he should recover fully.
00:29:19That's good news.
00:29:30He's at Silver Pine Hospital.
00:29:32Tell his creditors.
00:29:35I knew you had it in you.
00:29:38Mrs. Whiteford, I was just...
00:29:40Spare me the excuses, Julie.
00:29:44I've seen what you're capable of.
00:29:47Years ago.
00:29:57Mrs. Whiteford, there's been a misunderstanding.
00:29:59Oh, enough, Julie.
00:30:01Cut it.
00:30:04Fiona was sweet.
00:30:06But too naive for our world.
00:30:08Her innocence was a liability.
00:30:10I tried separating Jonathan and Fiona for years.
00:30:15Jonathan was so invested.
00:30:17Even ignoring his family to pursue his little tech project.
00:30:21All encouraged by Fiona.
00:30:23Luckily, his project succeeded.
00:30:26But not without him taking down his father's legacy first.
00:30:30We could have been so much more influential, so powerful.
00:30:34But just when I thought all was lost, Fiona was out of the picture.
00:30:40Her death was no coincidence, Julie.
00:30:43God plays no favors.
00:30:45I see your hand in her car accident.
00:30:50How long have you known?
00:30:52Oh, Julie.
00:30:54I've known from the start.
00:31:04What happened?
00:31:06He's... his dead collector's caught up to him.
00:31:09Will he be okay?
00:31:11Prepared for the worst.
00:31:11He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:15How did he find me?
00:31:16Someone must have tipped him off.
00:31:17We're investigating.
00:31:18We'll do our best to locate his attackers.
00:31:21I've warned you.
00:31:23This is serious, right?
00:31:27It's Barbara Whiteford.
00:31:28The Barbara Whiteford, queen of Manhattan?
00:31:31She's after my father.
00:31:33That's a serious accusation, ma'am.
00:31:35Respectfully, your father is not significant enough for her to wait.
00:31:38You don't understand.
00:31:40I got too close to her son and she told me...
00:31:42Please calm down.
00:31:43No, you don't understand.
00:31:44Please, please, Ms. Morris.
00:31:47Unfortunately, we couldn't save your father.
00:31:50He passed away.
00:31:55No, no.
00:31:59You left him, didn't I?
00:32:03No.
00:32:04You don't want to do that, do you?
00:32:22Ma'am.
00:32:25After you, our dad was never the same.
00:32:33When you left us,
00:32:38I lost you.
00:32:43I always thought it would get better.
00:32:50But it didn't.
00:32:54I'm sorry.
00:32:58I didn't feel like a nobody.
00:33:00I failed.
00:33:03I failed at everything.
00:33:12Leave me alone.
00:33:23We got food from your favorite place.
00:33:30You don't have to talk to me, but please eat something.
00:33:37Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:33:49I'm only going to ask you once, and I'll leave you be.
00:33:53But are you okay?
00:33:55Do you want to talk about it?
00:33:58I'm managing.
00:34:00Food helped.
00:34:06You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:09It's okay to feel vulnerable.
00:34:12We all have our moments.
00:34:13It's just...
00:34:17It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:19I get it.
00:34:21And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:34:25I've lost a loved one, too.
00:34:27Great.
00:34:28Do you have a dead girlfriend also?
00:34:30A dead girlfriend, wait.
00:34:32You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.
00:34:34So you knew.
00:34:35You knew all this time.
00:34:36But you two are completely different.
00:34:42I didn't lose a lover.
00:34:46It was my mother I lost.
00:34:50Ryan, I'm sorry.
00:34:52It's okay.
00:34:55This whole week is just like...
00:34:56Everything feels so pointless.
00:35:02That's a natural feeling to have.
00:35:04I used to mock existentialism.
00:35:08I get it now.
00:35:10I love how intelligent you sound.
00:35:12Even now.
00:35:14Stop.
00:35:15No, seriously.
00:35:17Modern day Socrates.
00:35:20Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:26For the food and the talk.
00:35:29Less of the food.
00:35:32Still so addicted.
00:35:33But they definitely put drugs in it.
00:35:34Yeah, like, hey.
00:35:37Hey, if you need anything, just call me.
00:35:40I won't.
00:35:41I think I just need some time to think things over.
00:35:45Have you considered drag steps?
00:35:48Not sure.
00:35:49Quit my job, settled the debts.
00:35:51I'm not sure if I want to go back to work.
00:35:53Not sure.
00:35:54Quit my job, settled the debts.
00:35:57Now the world's just kind of open to me.
00:35:59Strange.
00:36:00Yeah.
00:36:01Well, there's a spot for you at Novatek.
00:36:04Sure.
00:36:04About me leading?
00:36:06You're the best one to lead it.
00:36:08Come on, just give it a shot.
00:36:10I'll think about it.
00:36:11Seriously.
00:36:11That's all I can ask.
00:36:13Hey.
00:36:13Hey.
00:36:20Mabel?
00:36:22Are you doing okay?
00:36:25Why are you here?
00:36:28Mabel?
00:36:30Are you doing okay?
00:36:33Why are you here?
00:36:34I saw what happened on the news and I...
00:36:36You're worried?
00:36:39Save it, it's none of your business.
00:36:40Mabel, please, let me just...
00:36:42I'm done.
00:36:44Listening, Jonathan.
00:36:46I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.
00:36:52And now I finally know the truth.
00:36:55I thought what we had was real.
00:36:58But I was just a pill for a wound that won't heal.
00:37:07I truly loved you, Jonathan.
00:37:12I love you too.
00:37:15Don't come looking for me again.
00:37:18Leave me alone.
00:37:20It's my final request.
00:37:28And this is the upstairs division.
00:37:33What do you think?
00:37:34I love it.
00:37:35It's so lively.
00:37:37That's the goal.
00:37:38Hey, I'm in.
00:37:39But I have one condition.
00:37:42I'd like to work from a different city.
00:37:44Why is that?
00:37:45Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.
00:37:47That's where you're headed, right?
00:37:49Someone's been doing her homework.
00:37:50And for a new market, it's important to have someone you trust by your side.
00:37:55I'm listening.
00:37:57You're a good person, right?
00:37:59Right?
00:38:01How cute is this?
00:38:02Welcome to the team.
00:38:03What an honor, Captain.
00:38:05Let me show you around.
00:38:12Sir, you have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes.
00:38:16Right.
00:38:19Bring me their pitch deck and latest progress report.
00:38:22And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion.
00:38:25Sir, Mabel doesn't work here anymore.
00:38:28I can get someone else to help with it.
00:38:38She can't be right here.
00:38:39She can't be replaced.
00:38:43There's no one like her.
00:38:49Why don't you start in the living room?
00:38:53What?
00:38:56What is happening here?
00:38:58We're just doing our job, sir.
00:38:59Please don't interrupt.
00:39:01Where are these going?
00:39:02They're going to the donation.
00:39:04They don't already left.
00:39:05Get out!
00:39:07Then she left.
00:39:12Do you not want to talk?
00:39:16Okay, you haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:39:18Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:39:21Just move on.
00:39:22Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:39:24She's gone.
00:39:24She's gone.
00:39:25She's gone.
00:39:26She's gone.
00:39:27I'm sorry.
00:39:27I'm sorry.
00:39:28I'm sorry.
00:39:29I'm sorry.
00:39:30I'm sorry.
00:39:30I'm sorry.
00:39:31I'm sorry.
00:39:31I'm sorry.
00:39:32I'm sorry.
00:39:32I'm sorry.
00:39:33I'm sorry.
00:39:33I'm sorry.
00:39:34She's clearly just a villain for Fiona.
00:39:36Nothing more than her look-a-like.
00:39:38She's different.
00:39:39Funny, professional.
00:39:41She makes me feel good about myself.
00:39:43She's, she's Mabel.
00:39:45And I actually like her for who she is.
00:39:55What about our engagement?
00:39:58Julie.
00:39:59When Fiona left, I was lost.
00:40:05I would never marry you having some fleeting feelings for her.
00:40:08That's, that's not right for either one of us.
00:40:10No, no.
00:40:11You don't determine that.
00:40:12Jonathan, I have dreamed of our marriage since the day we met.
00:40:14I sacrificed so much for that dream, I lost everything.
00:40:18What do you mean by that?
00:40:22Nothing.
00:40:23Nothing.
00:40:24I just, I can't see the ceiling.
00:40:26What are you hiding?
00:40:27Nothing.
00:40:28I'm just saying that...
00:40:29Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:40:31I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:40:32You're delusional.
00:40:33Did you?
00:40:38This is silly.
00:40:40Baby, we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?
00:40:47Just sleep this off and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:40:59Hi.
00:41:00Give me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.
00:41:03It's urgent.
00:41:08The hospital's footage was erased, but a doctor remembers a young woman claiming to be Mabel's friend.
00:41:13A young woman?
00:41:15Yes, sir.
00:41:16A detailed description matches Miss Miller.
00:41:22Julie.
00:41:23Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?
00:41:25No, don't bother.
00:41:26Any news on Mabel's location?
00:41:31She just purchased tickets for many destinations.
00:41:35Where is she currently?
00:41:37Last known location, she's in a cab to JFK Airport.
00:41:41Get the car ready, now.
00:41:51Okay, pull over. Right here. Stop.
00:41:54Mabel!
00:41:55Are you insane?
00:41:56What the hell are you doing?
00:42:03Mabel, where are you?
00:42:04Doctor, don't go.
00:42:10Goodbye.
00:42:11Wait, Mabel, Mabel!
00:42:21Did you know about Mabel's departure?
00:42:23I know she left with Ryan Anderson, the servant's son.
00:42:27It's a good match. You should be happy for her.
00:42:29Were you part of this?
00:42:33Jonathan, Mabel made her own choice. No one pushed her.
00:42:38She has her life, we have ours.
00:42:41They don't intersect.
00:42:44Remember, you have responsibilities. The wedding's next month.
00:42:47I won't marry Julie.
00:42:50I won't be a pawn in your plan.
00:42:53I love Mabel. She's the one I want.
00:42:56She is merely a stand-in for Fiona.
00:42:58I'm not!
00:43:02I know it's already too late, but my feelings for her are real.
00:43:08I'll wait for her. I'll wait as long as it takes because this is my life!
00:43:15And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:43:24I love you.
00:43:35Mabel, turn it off.
00:43:39Mabel!
00:43:42Okay, you lazy bone. Come on, there's a meeting to attend to.
00:43:47Programmed you too well, didn't I?
00:43:50I learned it myself.
00:43:52Exactly, that's why I said I programmed you too well.
00:43:55Show off.
00:44:09The driver is ten minutes away.
00:44:12Got it.
00:44:15Put some clothes on.
00:44:19You can't see me, right?
00:44:20Don't need to.
00:44:22I know you too well.
00:44:24You are dumber.
00:44:25Heard that.
00:44:28Incoming call from Mrs. Whiteford.
00:44:32Put her through.
00:44:34Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent. Please come home. Your mother's condition is critical.
00:44:49What happened?
00:44:50She suffered a stroke last night.
00:44:53Mom. Mom.
00:44:56She'll recover, right?
00:44:57She's alright for now, but she might not speak again.
00:45:01What?
00:45:03A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford. She's lucky she's even breathing.
00:45:09Sweet.
00:45:12Hi.
00:45:16What can I do to help?
00:45:17Keep her calm. She's a fighter.
00:45:20She might be able to pull through.
00:45:24See me?
00:45:26I'm here.
00:45:29Mabel, this is my father who I've been telling you about.
00:45:32Mabel, it's such a pleasure. Ryan's told me so much about you.
00:45:36Likewise. He's going on about those unique seeds that you've been planting.
00:45:42He's kind of nerdy sometimes.
00:45:44Oh, so nerdy.
00:45:45Mabel.
00:45:51Mabel.
00:45:57Hey.
00:45:59When did you return?
00:46:01Mabel, we can leave this here.
00:46:03No need.
00:46:05We're just chatting.
00:46:07Jonathan, it's nice to see you.
00:46:09I was just looking for you.
00:46:10You deliberately ignored my request.
00:46:13I asked to be left alone.
00:46:14Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.
00:46:16Everything was sorted.
00:46:18It's all behind us.
00:46:21Um, hey Jonathan, they're just here to visit an old man. Isn't that okay?
00:46:27Dad, this is your home as well. We don't need his approval.
00:46:30Actually, Jack, I was thinking you should come live in the city with us.
00:46:34I see you two, you live together, huh?
00:46:37It's none of your business.
00:46:38Mabel, I just wanted to...
00:46:39I see you haven't changed.
00:46:44Sorry, Jack. I just remembered I have a phone call that I need to make.
00:46:50Mabel.
00:46:56We can talk about it, you know?
00:46:58About the product launch?
00:46:59My only concern is the interface. It's not user-friendly enough.
00:47:02Mabel, it's okay to be upset with Jonathan. No need to hide it.
00:47:06He's just a competitor now.
00:47:08Speaking of which, the new app at Whiteford Tech is dominating the charts.
00:47:11We should look into that.
00:47:13Can I ask you something?
00:47:14If you're going to say something irritating, I'm not interested.
00:47:17Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:47:23He broke my heart once.
00:47:25I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:47:37This is Mabel.
00:47:39Head of Careers.
00:47:40Nice to meet the team.
00:47:41We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.
00:47:44Your products are so exciting.
00:47:47We always try our very best to ensure...
00:47:51Good morning.
00:47:52What are you doing here?
00:47:54Mr. Whiteford, welcome.
00:47:58Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.
00:48:00He's shown great interest in this product and requested to join us at this meeting.
00:48:05I hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.
00:48:08Considering the product is still under testing, we typically limit our attendance.
00:48:13He's welcome to join.
00:48:14I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.
00:48:17His insight is invaluable.
00:48:21Do you mind if I take a seat?
00:48:22I love being part of the creative process.
00:48:25What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:33At the end of the day, our product is really exciting.
00:48:36And thank you all so much for spending your afternoon with us at Nova Tech.
00:48:39We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:48:42Well, this sounds like a game-changer.
00:48:45Congratulations.
00:48:47Mr. Whiteford, a few thoughts?
00:48:52It's good.
00:48:54Surely, as a leader in this industry, you have more to offer than good.
00:48:59I don't think it's my place to say more.
00:49:01If we always play it safe, we'll never achieve perfection.
00:49:07You've grown a lot.
00:49:08You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:49:11It's a strong product, but not yet a market leader.
00:49:16But there's potential.
00:49:18Your media needs more clarity.
00:49:20Apparently, it's affecting your overall product.
00:49:23You need to improve the interactive system.
00:49:25It's far too rapid.
00:49:27And the interface needs to be more user-friendly.
00:49:29You know this.
00:49:30But, overall, truly, truly,
00:49:35truly, truly,
00:49:38well done.
00:49:40Proud of you.
00:49:42Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.
00:49:45Sorry.
00:49:46I sometimes get carried away with talent for teens.
00:49:53Well, then.
00:49:55Let's chrome some numbers, shall we?
00:49:56Yes, let's do it.
00:49:57Let's look at it budget-wise.
00:50:06Hey.
00:50:07Great job on today's pitch.
00:50:09It was a team effort.
00:50:10We still have some work to do, though.
00:50:12Looking forward to launching it.
00:50:14But then at this non-stop,
00:50:15we're going to get some rest.
00:50:18Well,
00:50:20you still had time to find the handsome lawyer.
00:50:23Wait.
00:50:24You knew about it.
00:50:25Ryan,
00:50:26you are the only guy who hasn't made a pass at me.
00:50:28I had my suspicions.
00:50:30I thought Barbara set us up for that reason, but
00:50:33she's clueless.
00:50:34Still hoping for a wedding.
00:50:38I'll see you tomorrow.
00:50:39Absolutely.
00:50:40And hey, if you need anything,
00:50:42especially about Jonathan,
00:50:43just ask.
00:50:45It's all behind me.
00:50:47Don't worry.
00:51:05Hey.
00:51:07Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:51:10Just a coincidence, Miss Morris.
00:51:12See, um,
00:51:13I live here too.
00:51:15Yeah, right.
00:51:20Hey.
00:51:22Hey.
00:51:34Can you give me some space?
00:51:37That's pretty nice of you.
00:51:42When did you move here?
00:51:44Because I was under the impression that this space
00:51:46housed one.
00:51:49It housed two.
00:51:51Oh.
00:51:59Oh, what a coincidence.
00:52:01I live here too.
00:52:03Guess what?
00:52:04My passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:07Is his passcode still Fiona?
00:52:11Why do you care?
00:52:14Um.
00:52:16Oh.
00:52:20Good night, Mabel.
00:52:22That's an early night.
00:52:23Rough day?
00:52:24Actually,
00:52:26it's one of the best days of my life.
00:52:28Really?
00:52:29What happened?
00:52:32Good night, Mabel.
00:52:42Need a ride, Miss Morris?
00:52:45No, thank you.
00:52:46I prefer to walk.
00:52:47Are you kidding?
00:52:48It's about to rain.
00:52:49Come on.
00:53:01Busy day, eh?
00:53:03You seemed really occupied yesterday.
00:53:06The deal was a quiet ride.
00:53:09You know, I have a tip for your product,
00:53:11if you're interested.
00:53:16Okay, fine.
00:53:17What is it?
00:53:18The interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:53:20The uniform font size is causing confusion,
00:53:22but a little variation can help.
00:53:26You're right.
00:53:28We wanted simplicity,
00:53:29but maybe too much, though.
00:53:32It's a good approach, but
00:53:34you need to experiment a bit.
00:53:36You've always been a rule-breaker, Mabel.
00:53:46Mr. Wesker,
00:53:48please come home.
00:53:49Your mother's coming.
00:54:02Her condition worsened.
00:54:05We thought it would be best if you were here.
00:54:10Is there anything that can be done for her?
00:54:13We've done everything.
00:54:16Her vitals are going quickly.
00:54:18I'm so sorry.
00:54:20I'm gonna get some medicine, okay?
00:54:27Mom, hey.
00:54:29I'm right here.
00:54:34Are you seeing me?
00:54:35Is there anything we can get for you?
00:54:38I'm leaving you.
00:54:40Mom, no.
00:54:42You'll be fine.
00:54:43We're taking good care of you.
00:54:46My son.
00:54:49I'm truly sorry.
00:54:56You're the best mom I could have ever had.
00:55:01I want you to be happy.
00:55:05I am happy.
00:55:07I'm happy.
00:55:10After Fiona,
00:55:12I saw how you suffered.
00:55:16I regret so many.
00:55:21I overlooked things
00:55:24after Fiona's death.
00:55:27You changed so much.
00:55:32What do you mean, Mom?
00:55:33Just promise me you'll be happy.
00:55:36With Mabel or anyone else.
00:55:40Promise me.
00:55:46That it's time you learned the truth.
00:55:50About everything.
00:55:57Oh, my God.
00:55:59It's official.
00:56:00Applewhiteford just died.
00:56:02Really?
00:56:03What happened?
00:56:04It was sudden.
00:56:06John and Blackford confirmed it.
00:56:08Are you okay?
00:56:10I'm...
00:56:13I have to go.
00:56:15Take the day off.
00:56:35Facial recognition successful.
00:56:38Welcome, Mabel.
00:56:40Facial recognition.
00:56:46It's all good?
00:56:51Why are you here?
00:56:58I saw the news.
00:57:01Are you okay?
00:57:03I'll manage.
00:57:04Do you need anything?
00:57:05Do you want to talk?
00:57:06Why are you here?
00:57:09Is it because you care?
00:57:11I understand what it feels like to lose a parent.
00:57:14But that's not why you're here.
00:57:17You care.
00:57:18Don't you?
00:57:20I was concerned.
00:57:22But if you're fine, I should go.
00:57:24Please don't go.
00:57:25Please.
00:57:26Have you been drinking?
00:57:28Jonathan, this is so inappropriate.
00:57:30Mabel, Mabel, listen.
00:57:31Listening.
00:57:32Mabel signing in.
00:57:34How can I help, Jonathan?
00:57:36Listen.
00:57:44What is that?
00:57:45Hello, Miss Morris.
00:57:47I'm Mabel, an AI modeled after you.
00:57:50Mabel, Mabel, stop!
00:57:54Wait, wait.
00:58:00I'm sorry.
00:58:02I'm sorry.
00:58:03This was my way of coping with your absence.
00:58:05It was never meant to be discovered like this.
00:58:08Jonathan.
00:58:12This is too much.
00:58:16This isn't just obsession.
00:58:17This is unhealthy.
00:58:18I know.
00:58:19It's wrong.
00:58:23Please, I'll never bother you again.
00:58:25Just give me some time and I'll go.
00:58:27I swear.
00:58:29Are you okay, Jonathan?
00:58:34Yes.
00:58:36Yes.
00:58:52You were right about the rain.
00:59:13Outstanding, Mabel.
00:59:14This product will be a hit.
00:59:19You know Mr. Whiteford today?
00:59:23Yes.
00:59:24He wished to come but couldn't make it.
00:59:26He was caught up with family matters.
00:59:29Did you hear about his mother?
00:59:32Good morning.
00:59:35I'm here to announce the passing of my mother, Barbara Whiteford, due to a severe stroke.
00:59:44It's a challenging time for our family and we appreciate your thoughts.
00:59:47While we mourn, I also need to address serious matters involving Julie Miller, a close associate of our family.
00:59:57Years ago, Fiona Miller, my then girlfriend and I, developed a system named after her that laid the foundation for Whiteford Tech.
01:00:06Her untimely death, I recently learned, was orchestrated by her sister, Julie Miller, with my mother's knowledge.
01:00:16Moreover, Julie Miller has been involved in other immoral acts.
01:00:23She hired gang members for violent acts and caused deep harm to someone close to my heart.
01:00:30I'm not seeking forgiveness for the family.
01:00:33I only want justice.
01:00:35Julie now stands trial for her actions.
01:00:38The Fiona system, pivotal in uncovering these truths, will now be decommissioned and made publicly available for the advancement of technology.
01:00:49It's time for fresh perspectives.
01:00:51I'm stepping down.
01:00:55Whiteford Tech will now be under NOVA, led by Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morse.
01:01:01It's leadership and vision I trust.
01:01:04This will be my last public appearance.
01:01:07All my shares in Whiteford Tech will be transferred to Mabel Morse.
01:01:11The future is in her hands. Thank you.
01:01:22So that's it. We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.
01:01:48Hey, Jonathan.
01:01:51Sup?
01:01:54Hey, why did you leave the company and all of your shares? What the...
01:02:02Facial recognition successful. Welcome, Mabel.
01:02:18Where's Jonathan?
01:02:20He has moved away. He is, I quote, giving you space.
01:02:27He moved? Where?
01:02:31I'm afraid I don't know.
01:02:35He really left everything behind?
01:02:38He said it would be for the best.
01:02:50He's right.
01:02:54Maybe it is for the best.
01:03:04I found the programmer that you've been looking for.
01:03:07Here's everything on him. The best we could dig up.
01:03:12Hey, you need to learn to take some more breaks.
01:03:15You're setting the bar way too high.
01:03:17I'll slow down once we've got more skilled people like this one working for us.
01:03:32Hey, Christopher. It's you.
01:03:33Hey, Christopher. It's you.
01:03:48Facial recognition successful. Welcome, Mabel.
01:04:03Nice work, Jonathan.
01:04:05Mabel.
01:04:09How did you...
01:04:11Weeks ago, we discovered a mysterious programmer.
01:04:14Their work was outstanding. I just had to know who it was.
01:04:20I'm sorry. I got bored. I wanted something to do.
01:04:26Recoding gave you away. I felt familiar, like you.
01:04:31The way the numbers and the figures went together, I don't know, it kind of felt romantic.
01:04:37Why did you leave everything behind? Don't you miss it?
01:04:43I wanted to fix my mistakes.
01:04:47To help you.
01:04:49I want you to be happy, Mabel.
01:04:53You left without saying goodbye.
01:04:56I know. I'm sorry.
01:04:58I knew you wouldn't forgive me if I left, but I needed to distance myself from you.
01:05:03It was the only way I knew how to forgive you.
01:05:06You succeeded.
01:05:10And good.
01:05:11And good.
01:05:17Oh, wait.
01:05:21At Novatec, we offer competitive pay and flexible schedules with remote opportunities and free meals.
01:05:31Sounds good.
01:05:32There's more.
01:05:34We have benefits, like penny leave and childcare support and fun company events.
01:05:43So, Jonathan Whiteford, how would you feel about joining Novatec?
01:05:50As an executive?
01:05:52No, as staff, but I would be thrilled to have you as a senior programmer.
01:05:58Pretty good offer.
01:06:00Also, there are no restrictions about relationships with colleagues.
01:06:10So, if you happen to like someone at work, it's cool.
01:06:16That's good to know.
