00:00:00🎵
00:00:06Today's biggest news, Jonathan Whiteford, the city's golden bachelor, is set to marry his long-time fiancee, Julie Miller, uniting New York's most elite families.
00:00:15This is Amber Wilson from KKR News.
00:00:18🎵
00:00:27Mr. Whiteford, your meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:00:32You smoking cigarettes?
00:00:36It's an important meeting. You need to get ready.
00:00:39You can be a little softer in the morning. No one likes a buzzkill.
00:00:45Good morning to you, too.
00:00:48🎵
00:00:51I've never had Mediterranean food before, so he immediately takes me to this restaurant on 45th.
00:00:57Jonathan, he's quite the romantic.
00:01:00And then what? Oh, Maple, right?
00:01:04Sorry, I didn't mean to take your seat. Come join us.
00:01:07We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:01:10Oh, Maple would know. She schedules everything for Jonathan.
00:01:15Oh, right, his personal assistant. It's nice to meet you.
00:01:19I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiancee.
00:01:22Nice to meet you, Miss Miller.
00:01:25Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal. Take this as a warning.
00:01:32I've read so many wonderful things about you, Maple.
00:01:36Julie, what are you doing here?
00:01:45🎵
00:01:49It's just a surprise visit from my lovely fiance.
00:01:55Julie, I thought we discussed about keeping the boundaries.
00:01:58In front of everyone, play the part, Jonathan.
00:02:01We're engaged, remember?
00:02:04Maple, are you ready for the meeting?
00:02:06Yes, everything's prepared.
00:02:08Good, I want you to take a lead this time.
00:02:10Lead the meeting.
00:02:11Yes, you've earned it.
00:02:14Are you up for it?
00:02:15Absolutely.
00:02:19Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.
00:02:20No need for formalities. Come on, let's go. We're going to be late.
00:02:26Always work first with him, huh?
00:02:29🎵
00:02:42Oh, well, well.
00:02:44Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Maple.
00:02:48Well, I learned from the best.
00:02:50🎵
00:02:58🎵
00:03:06Adam, is he as usual?
00:03:09Mom!
00:03:11I thought we agreed on calling first.
00:03:13Since when do I need permission to see my son, hmm?
00:03:18What's the matter?
00:03:19We are hosting a joint family dinner with the Millers.
00:03:23You and Julie are expected to be there.
00:03:25We agreed to delay the engagement.
00:03:26This is not up for debate.
00:03:28You will attend the family dinner.
00:03:35And you should join as well, Maple.
00:03:38Maple?
00:03:56A toast.
00:03:58To the union.
00:04:02Maple, can you pour me some wine?
00:04:04Maple's a guest.
00:04:05Of course.
00:04:06Miss Miller?
00:04:07Soon to be Mrs. Whiteford.
00:04:11Dad, I'm still your daughter.
00:04:13We are so excited to welcome you into our family.
00:04:19This is the first joyful dinner we've had since Fiona.
00:04:27With Jonathan and Julie together.
00:04:32It almost feels like Fiona is with us here again.
00:04:38Mom.
00:04:40We are so looking forward to this marriage.
00:04:46I'm full.
00:04:47Please enjoy.
00:05:02You okay?
00:05:04Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:05:06I thought you were someone else.
00:05:08Who were you looking for?
00:05:10Jonathan Whiteford.
00:05:12The owner of the mansion.
00:05:14You must be his girlfriend.
00:05:16No, just his assistant.
00:05:18I see.
00:05:19I'm Ryan.
00:05:20My father is the gardener here.
00:05:22I know the house really well.
00:05:23I actually may be able to help you.
00:05:25Jonathan has a few things to do.
00:05:27I know the house really well.
00:05:28I actually may be able to help you.
00:05:30Jonathan has a few favorite spots around here.
00:05:32Though he doesn't visit much nowadays.
00:05:35He does have quite a few properties.
00:05:37Yes, he prefers to live alone.
00:05:39Is that so?
00:05:41Oh, good.
00:05:42You've met.
00:05:44I was thinking of setting you two up on a date.
00:05:47You make a cute couple.
00:05:57A date?
00:05:58Yes, Mabel.
00:06:00Ryan's a fine young man,
00:06:02and you're a diligent worker.
00:06:04You make a good match.
00:06:06Well, it's a kind offer,
00:06:08but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.
00:06:12No offense.
00:06:13None taken.
00:06:14Anyway, I should go find Jonathan.
00:06:16He has a very early meeting.
00:06:20Mabel, you're a smart girl.
00:06:24I know how busy you've been serving my son,
00:06:27what fun you've had.
00:06:29I don't understand.
00:06:31Let me clarify.
00:06:32You're barely a side dish.
00:06:34Now the main course is served.
00:06:37Stay away from my son,
00:06:40or lose your position at the company
00:06:42and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:44Have I made myself clear?
00:06:50Now, about you and Ryan.
00:06:53You're quite the pair.
00:06:55I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:07:15Morning.
00:07:16The files are ready for you to sign.
00:07:23Were you okay last night?
00:07:25What's on my schedule for today?
00:07:31One meeting in the morning,
00:07:33two in the afternoon,
00:07:35and Julie wants a dinner date.
00:07:39I set up calendar alerts.
00:07:53You're wearing a new perfume today.
00:07:55Real pipe lid?
00:07:57Yes.
00:07:58Miss Whiteford set me up for a date.
00:08:00It's after work.
00:08:02A date?
00:08:05Are you joking?
00:08:06You're not the only one inclined for a bit of romance.
00:08:09Jonathan.
00:08:23Before we start,
00:08:25you should know that I am a messy eater,
00:08:29and I hate cats.
00:08:31I'm also indifferent to humanity and climate change.
00:08:35We can just agree that this wasn't a match.
00:08:38And that's your strategy for tonight?
00:08:41Tell me more about yourself.
00:08:43What do you want to know? Family?
00:08:45My mom died, and my father is a gambler.
00:08:48You'd inherit his debts at the altar.
00:08:52What a delightful company you are.
00:08:54I mean, walk me to the platform.
00:08:56Who knows? I might even become an abuser.
00:08:58An abuser?
00:09:00Do you use ropes?
00:09:02What?
00:09:03You see, I enjoy being tied up, so...
00:09:06I'm rather intrigued.
00:09:09Weirdo.
00:09:11Says Miss Monster Date.
00:09:13May I call?
00:09:22You're Jack's son.
00:09:24He was such a talented gardener.
00:09:27A favorite servant of mine growing up.
00:09:30Do you know Vine? We're on a date.
00:09:32Oh, and having fun, I see.
00:09:35We would be, without any interruptions.
00:09:48I'm on my way.
00:09:50Okay, sorry, I...
00:09:53I have to go.
00:10:01Excuse me, I am here for my father, Mr. Morris.
00:10:03What happened?
00:10:04He's stable now.
00:10:06The creditors got rough with him.
00:10:08Broke a couple ribs, but he's breathing.
00:10:12How do I pay for the bills?
00:10:14They've been paid for.
00:10:16By whom?
00:10:21Ryan, what are you doing here?
00:10:24Finished the date.
00:10:26I'm starving.
00:10:28It's a very expensive date.
00:10:30I'll pay you back.
00:10:32Later. For now, let's get something to eat.
00:10:45So, you grew up in the Whiteford Mansion?
00:10:48Yeah, I did.
00:10:50I helped my dad with the gardens,
00:10:52and we planted exotic flowers from around the world.
00:10:55Paradise for plant geeks, for sure.
00:10:57I'm super nerdy.
00:11:04You were serious about your father's debts, weren't you?
00:11:07He was a gambler.
00:11:10He's changed, but it still haunts us.
00:11:14I just hope to one day settle the debts.
00:11:16You were not the terrible person you made yourself out to be.
00:11:19You've known me for one day.
00:11:21What was your conclusion, Sherlock?
00:11:25Well, this is Lull.
00:11:30Good night, nerd.
00:11:32Good night, monster date.
00:11:42It's late.
00:11:44Where you been?
00:11:51Were you out with him all night?
00:11:53It's my personal time.
00:11:55I don't have to report everything to you.
00:11:57So, it went well, then?
00:11:59Your mother set us up, Jonathan.
00:12:01How could I refuse?
00:12:02Good.
00:12:03So, that was all just for show.
00:12:05Well, I actually had a really nice time.
00:12:07I might consider a second date.
00:12:10I can still smell Julie's perfume.
00:12:12Then come shower it off me.
00:12:15You went on a date with another man.
00:12:17He took another woman to a restaurant that I recommended.
00:12:19Jealous?
00:12:21Not as much as you.
00:12:42Morning.
00:12:57Coffee or tea?
00:12:59Uh, coffee.
00:13:06You never make me breakfast.
00:13:09Last night must have been record-breaking.
00:13:14I mean...
00:13:18I'm breaking up with you.
00:13:23What do you mean?
00:13:24Well, more of an ending than a breakup, really.
00:13:26We need to stop.
00:13:28Whatever this is.
00:13:30What about last night?
00:13:32Consider it a breakup gift.
00:13:34Breakup? We weren't even together.
00:13:36Exactly.
00:13:41Shouldn't be too hard to move on.
00:13:56Happy 7th Anniversary, Nicole!
00:13:59Anniversary?
00:14:01I mean, 70 years of what for?
00:14:03Sounds nice, doesn't it?
00:14:05Wow, it really has been that long.
00:14:07We got the cake, Mabel.
00:14:09You guys are so sweet.
00:14:11What are you doing?
00:14:13Boss, it's her special day.
00:14:15So?
00:14:17We have the meeting with Harbor in an hour.
00:14:19Do your jobs!
00:14:35Okay.
00:15:05I'm gonna miss you.
00:15:07Tell me no one else.
00:15:35Happy Anniversary, Mabel.
00:15:43So I'm outlasted.
00:15:51Hello, this is Mabel.
00:15:53Evening, Mabel.
00:15:55Ryan! What an honor.
00:15:57You wanna grab dinner together?
00:15:59Just as friends, of course.
00:16:01I'm not up for another dramatic date.
00:16:03Sure, why not.
00:16:05Um, where are we going?
00:16:07I know the perfect spot. I'll text you.
00:16:09See you soon.
00:16:13I'm so glad we got to try this place again.
00:16:15This is amazing.
00:16:17I know.
00:16:19I think they put some drugs in it or something.
00:16:21It'd be weird if they didn't.
00:16:23How could it be so addictive?
00:16:25Where have you been lately?
00:16:27Can't complain.
00:16:29Because you signed an NDA?
00:16:31The latter.
00:16:33Although, if I did sign an NDA,
00:16:35I couldn't really share otherwise.
00:16:37Could I?
00:16:39This is true.
00:16:41Hey, I asked you out on a date for a reason.
00:16:43I think we'd make excellent business partners.
00:16:45Business partners?
00:16:47Yeah.
00:16:49Well, let's just say our first date was rather chaotic.
00:16:51So I wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you.
00:16:55I'm Ryan Anderson.
00:16:57I'm the founder of Novatech.
00:16:59And I would like for you to join us
00:17:01as head of the creative strategies.
00:17:03Novatech?
00:17:09Novatech?
00:17:11But I thought you said you were...
00:17:13The Gardner son.
00:17:15Yes, I still am, but I'm not defined by what my father does.
00:17:17Even if Barbara thinks so.
00:17:21After years of education and, well, hard work,
00:17:23I find myself at MIT
00:17:25and started my own company.
00:17:27It's good to own something of your own, right?
00:17:29That's incredible, Ryan.
00:17:31And I'm grateful for the opportunity,
00:17:33but I already have a job,
00:17:35and I'm just an assistant.
00:17:37So I'm sure there are other people
00:17:39much more qualified than me out there.
00:17:41You're not just anyone.
00:17:43You're the key success to the Whitefords project.
00:17:45It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.
00:17:49So, cheers
00:17:51to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:17:53So, cheers
00:17:55to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:18:13Oh, Miss Whiteford, um,
00:18:15Jonathan's left for the...
00:18:17I'm here to see you.
00:18:19How was everything with Ryan?
00:18:21He wasn't.
00:18:23Thank you for the introduction.
00:18:25When do you plan to marry him?
00:18:27We've only just met.
00:18:31I've warned you.
00:18:33No marriage,
00:18:35no job at Whiteford Tech,
00:18:39and you will be banned from the industry.
00:18:41I've ended things with Jonathan.
00:18:43Then marry Ryan to prove it.
00:18:45I've done my research as well,
00:18:47Mabel.
00:18:49Leave my son,
00:18:51and I'll clear all your father's debts.
00:18:55If not,
00:18:57those seeking him will find him.
00:19:01Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance,
00:19:03not me.
00:19:05I don't think you understand the situation.
00:19:09You are nothing to Jonathan.
00:19:11At most,
00:19:13a shadow of his past pain,
00:19:15a reminder of a heartbreak.
00:19:17What do you mean?
00:19:19You don't know, do you?
00:19:23Marry Ryan.
00:19:25It's my last warning.
00:19:27Uh, no, I just...
00:19:29Your driver couldn't get a hold of you.
00:19:31He was concerned.
00:19:33Mr. Whiteford, it's Octavia.
00:19:35I'm sorry.
00:19:37I'm sorry.
00:19:39I'm sorry.
00:19:41I'm sorry.
00:19:43I'm sorry.
00:19:45I'm sorry.
00:19:47I'm sorry.
00:19:49I'm sorry.
00:19:51I'm sorry.
00:19:53I'm sorry.
00:19:55Mr. Whiteford,
00:19:57it's October 15th.
00:19:59Shit, shit.
00:20:01It's okay.
00:20:03The car's out front.
00:20:05No, it's not okay. I never forget...
00:20:09Clear everything for today. Okay.
00:20:11I've kept your calendar clear, as always.
00:20:15The car, Mr. Whiteford.
00:20:17Right. I'll see you...
00:20:19At the office?
00:20:21Right.
00:20:25Hello?
00:20:29Oh, uh, okay. I'm on my way.
00:20:35The entire server crashed!
00:20:37Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:39Hey, what happened?
00:20:41We are under attack. We need a system reboot.
00:20:43Where is Mr. Whiteford? We need his admin code.
00:20:45Now. Okay, he's out of the office.
00:20:47Let me just try contacting him, okay?
00:20:51We need that code.
00:20:53Do you have access to it?
00:20:55No, that code is highly confidential.
00:20:57Jonathan is the sole owner.
00:20:59Let me try.
00:21:07What is this?
00:21:09We're completely offline. Come on, Mabo.
00:21:11You know you're the best.
00:21:13It won't.
00:21:15Try Fiona.
00:21:17F-I-O-N-A.
00:21:19F-I-O-N-A.
00:21:21Fiona.
00:21:23Give it a shot.
00:21:27Fiona.
00:21:29Give it a shot.
00:21:33Remember that awkward dinner at the Whiteford's?
00:21:37Fiona, you are nothing to Jonathan.
00:21:41At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:21:45A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:21:49A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:21:57Hello, Jonathan.
00:21:59Good to see you.
00:22:01How may I help you?
00:22:03Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?
00:22:05Oh, no.
00:22:07That's not Mabo.
00:22:11That's my sister, Fiona.
00:22:13Jonathan's first love.
00:22:19Hi.
00:22:29Next, Mabel Morris.
00:22:45Hello.
00:22:49You know,
00:22:51coding demands intense focus
00:22:53and absolute silence.
00:22:57That's why having a capable
00:22:59assistant to help with
00:23:01other things like interviews
00:23:03is crucial.
00:23:13Fiona.
00:23:15I'm Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford.
00:23:17Here's my resume.
00:23:21Mabel.
00:23:23Nice to meet you.
00:23:37When can you start?
00:23:39Tomorrow.
00:23:41No, actually, today.
00:23:43Welcome to Whiteford Tech.
00:23:47Mabel.
00:23:49Mabel.
00:23:51Mabel.
00:23:59Mabel.
00:24:01Are you all right?
00:24:03I know. Shocking, isn't it?
00:24:05You know, when they mentioned you
00:24:07years ago, I was concerned.
00:24:09I thought you had actually fallen
00:24:11for someone.
00:24:13But then I saw you
00:24:15and I knew there was nothing to worry about.
00:24:17To Jonathan,
00:24:19you're just a reminder of my sister.
00:24:21He doesn't love you.
00:24:23You're nothing but a shadow to him.
00:24:25You are, at best, a placebo.
00:24:31Oh, Mabel.
00:24:33Did you actually think you stood a chance?
00:24:37You pathetic
00:24:39slut.
00:24:41Fuck off.
00:24:45Oh, do you know about today?
00:24:47I don't want to know.
00:24:49Fiona died today, seven years ago.
00:24:51He visits her grave on this day
00:24:53every year.
00:24:57You see?
00:24:59You're just a joke.
00:25:15Hey, Mabel.
00:25:19What's wrong?
00:25:25There was an attack on the system
00:25:27at work today.
00:25:29Okay.
00:25:31Well, since you're here
00:25:33and not at the office, I assume it's resolved?
00:25:37Your passcode.
00:25:39What is it?
00:25:41I don't know.
00:25:43What is it?
00:25:45What?
00:25:47The code, Jonathan. What is it?
00:25:49That's none of your business.
00:25:53Come on.
00:25:55Tell me about this attack.
00:26:01So,
00:26:03it's been fixed?
00:26:05We had to restart the system.
00:26:07System reboot.
00:26:09I see.
00:26:11It's for an admin code.
00:26:13Why didn't you call me?
00:26:15I tried to, but it didn't go through.
00:26:17Signal down there.
00:26:19We got the code.
00:26:21You did?
00:26:23How?
00:26:25Luckily,
00:26:27Julie was there.
00:26:33So you've seen.
00:26:35Fiona?
00:26:41Yeah.
00:26:45Fiona?
00:26:49Yeah.
00:26:51Mabel,
00:26:53I know you have a lot of questions.
00:26:55Actually,
00:26:57I found a lot of answers today.
00:27:03I thought I was lucky
00:27:05to have that job
00:27:07and
00:27:09to work at the company,
00:27:11to be by your side,
00:27:15to enter a relationship
00:27:17with you or whatever that was.
00:27:21But it turns out
00:27:23I was just a replacement.
00:27:25A replacement for some sick,
00:27:27twisted obsession
00:27:29that you can't get over.
00:27:31I'm shadowing for a dead girlfriend
00:27:34all those years.
00:27:36What do you get?
00:27:40You're a fucking ghost.
00:27:41Enough!
00:27:43Don't speak.
00:27:45Don't use that term.
00:27:47Dead ghost?
00:27:49That's the reality of it, Jonathan.
00:27:51She is both.
00:27:59I'm Mabel Morris.
00:28:02I'm not...
00:28:04I'm not your dead girlfriend.
00:28:06I'm not Fiona.
00:28:14You're right.
00:28:16You're not her.
00:28:19Nobody is.
00:28:22I've submitted my
00:28:24resignation.
00:28:27Thank you for the opportunity.
00:28:30Years ago, I learned a lot.
00:28:34Goodbye, Mr. Whiteford.
00:28:52Fuck!
00:29:09You said you were a friend of Mr. Morris's?
00:29:11A friend of his daughter, Mabel, actually.
00:29:13Ah, yes, Mabel.
00:29:15She's quite sweet and caring.
00:29:17Absolutely.
00:29:19She asked me to come check on Scott.
00:29:21How's his condition?
00:29:23He's well.
00:29:26With a little rest, he should recover fully.
00:29:29That's good news.
00:29:40He's at Silver Pine Hospital.
00:29:42Tell his creditors.
00:29:45I knew you had it in you.
00:29:48Mrs. Whiteford, I was just...
00:29:50Spare me the excuses, Julie.
00:29:54I've seen what you're capable of.
00:29:57Years ago.
00:30:07Mrs. Whiteford, there's been a misunderstanding.
00:30:09Oh, enough, Julie.
00:30:11Cut it.
00:30:14Fiona was sweet.
00:30:17But too naive for our world.
00:30:19Her innocence was a liability.
00:30:22I tried separating Jonathan and Fiona for years.
00:30:26Jonathan was so invested.
00:30:28Even ignoring his family to pursue his little tech project.
00:30:32All encouraged by Fiona.
00:30:34Luckily, his project succeeded.
00:30:37But not without him taking down his father's legacy first.
00:30:41We could have been so much more influential, so powerful.
00:30:48But just when I thought all was lost...
00:30:51Fiona was out of the picture.
00:30:55Her death was no coincidence, Julie.
00:30:57God plays no favors.
00:31:00I see your hand in her car accident.
00:31:05How long have you known?
00:31:07Oh, Julie.
00:31:09I've known from the start.
00:31:12What happened?
00:31:14Oh, he's...
00:31:16His dead collector's caught up to him.
00:31:18Will he be okay?
00:31:20For the worst, he's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:24Someone must have tipped him off.
00:31:26We're investigating.
00:31:27We'll do our best to locate his attackers.
00:31:30I warned you.
00:31:36It's Barbara Whiteford.
00:31:38The Barbara Whiteford?
00:31:40Barbara Whiteford, Queen of Manhattan?
00:31:42She's after my father.
00:31:44That's a serious accusation, ma'am.
00:31:46Respectfully, your father is not significant enough for Barbara Whiteford.
00:31:49You don't understand.
00:31:51I got too close to her son, and she told me...
00:31:53Please calm down.
00:31:54No, you don't understand.
00:31:55Please, please, Ms. Morris.
00:31:58Unfortunately, we couldn't save your father.
00:32:01He passed away.
00:32:06No, no!
00:32:09What? No!
00:32:14No!
00:32:33Mom.
00:32:36After you left, Dad was never the same.
00:32:43When you left us...
00:32:48I lost him.
00:32:53I always thought...
00:32:55It would get better.
00:33:00But it didn't.
00:33:03I'm sorry.
00:33:08I didn't feel like a nobody.
00:33:12I failed.
00:33:15I failed at everything.
00:33:24Leave me alone!
00:33:32Okay.
00:33:36I got food from your favorite place.
00:33:41You don't have to talk to me, but...
00:33:43Please eat something.
00:33:48Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:33:50I'm sorry.
00:34:00I'm only going to ask you once, and I'll let you be.
00:34:04But are you okay?
00:34:06Do you want to talk about it?
00:34:09I'm managing.
00:34:11Food helped.
00:34:17You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:20I feel vulnerable.
00:34:22We all have our moments.
00:34:24It's just...
00:34:28It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:30I get it.
00:34:32And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:34:36I've lost a loved one, too.
00:34:38Great. Do you have a dead girlfriend also?
00:34:40A dead girlfriend? Wait.
00:34:43You knew about Jonathan and Piana.
00:34:45So you knew. You knew all this time.
00:34:47But you two are completely different.
00:34:51I know.
00:34:53I didn't lose a lover.
00:34:57It was my mother I lost.
00:35:01Ryan, I'm sorry.
00:35:03It's okay.
00:35:05This whole week is just like...
00:35:09Everything feels so pointless.
00:35:13That's a natural feeling to have.
00:35:15I used to mock existentialism.
00:35:18I get it now.
00:35:20I love how intelligent you sound.
00:35:22Even now.
00:35:24Stop.
00:35:26No, seriously.
00:35:28Modern day Socrates.
00:35:30Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:41Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:43For the food and the talk.
00:35:45Blessed food.
00:35:47Still so addicted.
00:35:49They definitely put drugs in it.
00:35:53Hey, if you need anything,
00:35:55just call me.
00:35:57I will. I think I just need some time to think things over.
00:36:01Have you considered your next steps?
00:36:03I'm not sure.
00:36:05I quit my job, settled the debts.
00:36:07Now the world's just kind of open to me.
00:36:09It's strange.
00:36:11Well, there's a spot for you
00:36:13at Novotek.
00:36:15You sure about me leading?
00:36:17You're the best one to lead it.
00:36:19Come on, just give it a shot.
00:36:21I'll think about it. Seriously.
00:36:23That's all I can ask.
00:36:31Mabel?
00:36:33Are you doing okay?
00:36:35Why are you here?
00:36:39Mabel?
00:36:41Are you doing okay?
00:36:43Why are you here?
00:36:45I saw what happened on the news and I...
00:36:47You're worried?
00:36:49Save it. It's none of your business, Mabel.
00:36:51Please, let me just...
00:36:53I'm done!
00:36:55Listening, Jonathan.
00:36:57I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.
00:37:03And now I finally know the truth.
00:37:05I thought what we had was real.
00:37:07But I was just a pill
00:37:09for a wound that won't heal.
00:37:15I truly loved you.
00:37:17Jonathan.
00:37:23Don't come looking for me again.
00:37:27Leave me alone.
00:37:29It's my final request.
00:37:38And this is the upstairs division.
00:37:42What do you think?
00:37:44I love it. It's so lively.
00:37:46That's the goal.
00:37:48Hey, I'm in.
00:37:50But I have one condition.
00:37:52I'd like to work from a different city.
00:37:54Why's that?
00:37:56Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.
00:37:58That's where you're headed, right?
00:38:00Someone's been doing her homework.
00:38:02And for a new market, it's important to have someone you trust by your side.
00:38:04I'm listening.
00:38:06Won't go all Wakaruhiko, what?
00:38:08Ine?
00:38:10Tokyo it is, then.
00:38:12Welcome to the team, Ine.
00:38:14What an honor, Captain.
00:38:16Let me show you around.
00:38:24Sir?
00:38:26You have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes?
00:38:28Right.
00:38:30Bring me their pitch deck
00:38:32and latest progress report.
00:38:35And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion.
00:38:37Sir?
00:38:39Mabel doesn't work here anymore.
00:38:41I can get someone else to help with her.
00:38:51She can't be replaced.
00:38:55There's no one like her.
00:39:01Why don't you start in the living room?
00:39:05What?
00:39:07What?
00:39:09What is happening here?
00:39:11We're just doing our job, sir. Please don't interrupt.
00:39:13Where are these going?
00:39:15They're going to the donation. They don't already left.
00:39:25Get out.
00:39:27Then, who's that?
00:39:30You do not want to talk.
00:39:34You haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:39:36Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:39:38Just move on.
00:39:40Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:39:42She's clearly just a fill-in for Fiona.
00:39:44Nothing more than her look-alike.
00:39:46She's different.
00:39:48Funny, professional.
00:39:50She makes me feel good about myself.
00:39:52She's Mabel.
00:39:54And I actually like her for who she is.
00:39:57What about our engagement?
00:39:59Julie,
00:40:03when Fiona left,
00:40:05I was lost.
00:40:07I would never marry you having some
00:40:09fleeting feelings for her.
00:40:11That's not right for either one of us.
00:40:13No, no. You don't determine that.
00:40:15Jonathan, I have dreamed of our marriage since the day we met.
00:40:17I sacrificed everything for you.
00:40:19I sacrificed everything for you.
00:40:21I sacrificed everything for you.
00:40:23I sacrificed everything for you.
00:40:25I sacrificed so much for that dream.
00:40:27I lost everything.
00:40:31What do you mean by that?
00:40:33Nothing.
00:40:35I can't stand to see you like this.
00:40:37What are you hiding?
00:40:39Nothing. I was just saying that...
00:40:41Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:40:43I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:40:45You're delusional.
00:40:47Did you?
00:40:49This is silly.
00:40:51Baby,
00:40:53are you okay?
00:40:57Just sleep this off,
00:40:59and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:41:11Hi. Give me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.
00:41:13It's urgent.
00:41:19The hospital's footage was erased,
00:41:21but the doctor remembers a young woman
00:41:23claiming to be Mabel's friend.
00:41:25A young woman?
00:41:27Yes, sir.
00:41:29A detailed description matches Miss Miller.
00:41:33Julie.
00:41:35Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?
00:41:37No, don't bother.
00:41:39Any news on Mabel's location?
00:41:41She just purchased tickets
00:41:43for many destinations.
00:41:45Where is she currently?
00:41:47Last known location,
00:41:49she's in a cab to JFK Airport.
00:41:51Get the car ready. Now.
00:42:01Okay, pull over. Right here. Stop.
00:42:03Mabel!
00:42:05Are you insane?
00:42:07What the hell are you doing?
00:42:13Mabel, where are you?
00:42:15Doctor, don't go anywhere.
00:42:19Hi.
00:42:21Wait, Mabel! Mabel!
00:42:31Did you know about Mabel's departure?
00:42:33I know she left with Ryan Anderson,
00:42:35the servant's son.
00:42:37It's a good match. You should be happy for her.
00:42:39Were you part of this?
00:42:43Jonathan,
00:42:45Mabel made her own choice.
00:42:47Ryan pushed her.
00:42:49She has her life. We have ours.
00:42:51They don't intersect.
00:42:53Remember,
00:42:55you have responsibilities. The wedding's next month.
00:42:57I won't marry Julie.
00:42:59I won't be a pawn
00:43:01in your plan.
00:43:03I love Mabel.
00:43:05She's the one I want.
00:43:07She is merely a stand-in for Fiona.
00:43:09I'm not!
00:43:13I know it's already too late,
00:43:15but my feelings for her are real.
00:43:19I'll wait for her.
00:43:21I'll wait as long as it takes,
00:43:23because this is my life!
00:43:25And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:43:45Mabel, turn it off.
00:43:49Mabel!
00:43:51Okay,
00:43:53you lazy bone.
00:43:55Come on. There's a meeting to attend to.
00:43:57Programmed you too well,
00:43:59didn't I?
00:44:01I learned it myself.
00:44:03Exactly. That's why I said I programmed you too well.
00:44:05Show off.
00:44:15The driver is ten minutes away.
00:44:17Got it.
00:44:21Put some clothes on.
00:44:25You can't see me, right?
00:44:27Don't need to.
00:44:29I know you too well.
00:44:31You're making her dumber.
00:44:33Heard that.
00:44:35Incoming call
00:44:37from Mrs. Whiteford.
00:44:39Put her through.
00:44:41Mr. Whiteford,
00:44:43it's urgent.
00:44:45Please come home.
00:44:47Your mother's condition is critical.
00:44:57What happened?
00:44:59She suffered a stroke last week.
00:45:01What?
00:45:03What?
00:45:05She'll recover, right?
00:45:07She's alright for now,
00:45:09but she might not speak again.
00:45:11What?
00:45:13A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford.
00:45:15She's lucky she's even breathing.
00:45:19Sweet.
00:45:21Hi.
00:45:25What can I do to help?
00:45:27Keep her calm.
00:45:29She's a fighter.
00:45:31She might be able to pull through.
00:45:33Excuse me?
00:45:35I'm here.
00:45:37I'm here.
00:45:39Mabel, this is my father
00:45:41who I've been telling you about.
00:45:43Mabel, it's such a pleasure.
00:45:45Ryan's told me so much about you.
00:45:47Likewise.
00:45:49He's going on about those unique seeds
00:45:51that you've been planting.
00:45:53He's kind of nerdy sometimes.
00:45:55Oh, so nerdy.
00:45:57Mabel.
00:46:07Hey.
00:46:09When did you return?
00:46:11Mabel, we can leave this here.
00:46:13No need.
00:46:15We're just chatting.
00:46:17Jonathan, it's nice to see you.
00:46:19I was just looking for you.
00:46:21You deliberately ignored my request.
00:46:23I asked to be left alone.
00:46:25Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.
00:46:27Everything was sorted.
00:46:29It's all behind us.
00:46:33Hey, Jonathan,
00:46:35it's nice to visit an old man.
00:46:37Isn't that okay?
00:46:39Dad, this is your home as well.
00:46:41We don't need his approval.
00:46:43Actually, Jack, I was thinking
00:46:45you should come live in the city with us.
00:46:47I see you two.
00:46:49You live together, huh?
00:46:51It's none of your business.
00:46:53Mabel, I just wanted to...
00:46:55I see you haven't changed.
00:46:57Sorry, Jack.
00:46:59I just remembered I have a phone call
00:47:01that I need to make.
00:47:04We can talk about it, you know?
00:47:06About the product launch?
00:47:08My only concern is the interface.
00:47:10It's not user-friendly enough.
00:47:12Mabel, it's okay to be upset with Jonathan.
00:47:14No need to hide it.
00:47:16He's just a competitor now.
00:47:18Speaking of which, the new app at WiferTech
00:47:20is dominating the charts.
00:47:22We should look into that.
00:47:24Can I ask you something?
00:47:26If you're going to say something irritating,
00:47:28I'm not interested.
00:47:30Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:47:33He broke my heart once.
00:47:35I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:47:47This is Mabel.
00:47:49Head of Creatives.
00:47:51Nice to meet the team.
00:47:53We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.
00:47:55Your products are so exciting.
00:47:59We always try our very best to ensure...
00:48:02Good morning.
00:48:04What are you doing here?
00:48:06Mr. Whiteford, welcome.
00:48:08Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.
00:48:10He's shown great interest in this product
00:48:12and requested to join us at this meeting.
00:48:14I hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.
00:48:16Considering the product is still under testing,
00:48:18we typically limit our attendance.
00:48:20He's welcome to join.
00:48:22I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.
00:48:24His insight is in-depth.
00:48:26I'm sure he'll be able to help us
00:48:28Considering Mr. Whiteford's thoughts,
00:48:30his insight is invaluable.
00:48:32Do you mind if I take a seat?
00:48:34I love being part of the creative process.
00:48:36What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:44At the end of the day,
00:48:46our product is really exciting
00:48:48and thank you all so much for spending your afternoon
00:48:50with us at Novatec.
00:48:52We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:48:55Well, this sounds like a game-changer.
00:48:57Congratulations.
00:48:59Mr. Whiteford,
00:49:01what are your thoughts?
00:49:05It's good.
00:49:07Surely, as a leader in this industry,
00:49:09you have more to offer than good.
00:49:11I don't think it's my place to say more.
00:49:13If we always play it safe,
00:49:15we'll never achieve perfection.
00:49:20You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:49:22It's a strong product,
00:49:24but not yet a market leader.
00:49:26But there's potential.
00:49:28Your media needs more clarity.
00:49:30Apparently, it's affecting your overall product.
00:49:32You need to improve the interactive system.
00:49:34It's far too average.
00:49:36And the interface needs to be more user-friendly.
00:49:38You know this.
00:49:40But overall,
00:49:42truly,
00:49:44well done.
00:49:46Proud of you.
00:49:48Well done.
00:49:50Proud of you.
00:49:52Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.
00:49:54Sorry.
00:49:56I sometimes get carried away with
00:49:58talent for teens.
00:50:03Well, then,
00:50:05let's crunch some numbers, shall we?
00:50:07Do we look mad budget-wise?
00:50:10Hey.
00:50:12Great job on today's pitch.
00:50:14It was a team effort.
00:50:16We still have some work to do, though.
00:50:18Looking forward to launching it.
00:50:20But then at this non-stop,
00:50:22we're going to get some rest.
00:50:24Well,
00:50:26you still had time to find the handsome lawyer.
00:50:28Wait.
00:50:30You knew about it.
00:50:32Ryan, you are the only guy
00:50:34who hasn't made a pass at me.
00:50:36I haven't.
00:50:38I had my suspicions.
00:50:40I thought Barbara set us up for that reason,
00:50:42but she's clueless.
00:50:44Still hoping for a wedding.
00:50:48I'll see you tomorrow.
00:50:50Absolutely.
00:50:52And hey, if you hear anything, especially about Jonathan,
00:50:54just ask.
00:50:56But it's all behind me.
00:50:58Don't worry.
00:51:08Hey.
00:51:18Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:51:20Just a coincidence, Ms. Morris.
00:51:22See, um,
00:51:24I live here, too.
00:51:26Yeah, right.
00:51:30Hey.
00:51:38Hey.
00:51:44Can you give me some space?
00:51:48That's pretty nice of you.
00:51:52When did you move here?
00:51:54Because I was under the impression
00:51:56that this space housed one.
00:52:00It housed two.
00:52:08Oh.
00:52:10What a coincidence.
00:52:12I live here, too.
00:52:14Guess what?
00:52:16My passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:18His passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:20Why do you care?
00:52:30Dim the lights, Mabel.
00:52:32That's an early night.
00:52:34Rough day?
00:52:36It's one of the best days of my life.
00:52:38Really?
00:52:40What happened?
00:52:42Good night, Mabel.
00:52:52Need a ride, Ms. Morris?
00:52:54No, thank you.
00:52:56I prefer to walk.
00:52:58Are you kidding? It's 5.30.
00:53:00Come on.
00:53:02I'll take you.
00:53:06Okay.
00:53:12Busy day, Ed?
00:53:14You seemed really occupied yesterday.
00:53:16The deal was a quiet ride.
00:53:20You know, I have a tip for your product,
00:53:22if you're interested.
00:53:28Okay, fine.
00:53:30The interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:53:32The uniform font size is causing confusion,
00:53:34so a little variation can help.
00:53:36You're right.
00:53:38We wanted simplicity,
00:53:40but maybe too much, though.
00:53:42It's a good approach,
00:53:44but you need to experiment a bit.
00:53:46You've always been a rule-breaker, Mabel.
00:53:56Mr. Wesker,
00:53:58it's Ed.
00:54:00Please come home.
00:54:02No.
00:54:14Her condition worsened.
00:54:16We thought it would be best if you were here.
00:54:22Is there anything that can be done for her?
00:54:24We've done everything.
00:54:28Her vitals are going quickly.
00:54:30I'm going to get some medicine.
00:54:32Okay?
00:54:38Mom, hey.
00:54:40I'm right here.
00:54:44Have you seen me?
00:54:46Is there anything we can get for you?
00:54:48I'm leaving you.
00:54:50Mom, no.
00:54:52You'll be fine.
00:54:54We're taking good care of you.
00:54:56My son.
00:54:58I'm truly sorry.
00:55:06The best moment you've ever had.
00:55:10I want you
00:55:12to be happy.
00:55:14I am happy.
00:55:16I'm happy.
00:55:20After Fiona,
00:55:22I saw how you suffered.
00:55:24I regret
00:55:26so many.
00:55:30I overlooked things
00:55:32after Fiona's death.
00:55:36You changed so much.
00:55:40What do you mean, Mom?
00:55:42Just promise me you'll be happy
00:55:44with Mabel
00:55:46or anyone else.
00:55:48Promise me.
00:55:50Promise me.
00:55:58It's time you learned the truth
00:56:00about everything.
00:56:08Oh, my God.
00:56:10It's official. Ethel Whiteford just died.
00:56:12Really?
00:56:14What happened?
00:56:16It was sudden.
00:56:18Are you okay?
00:56:24I have to go.
00:56:26Take the day off.
00:56:28Okay.
00:56:46Facial recognition successful.
00:56:48Welcome, Mabel.
00:56:50Facial recognition.
00:56:58Come on in.
00:57:02Why are you here?
00:57:10I saw the news.
00:57:12Are you okay?
00:57:14I'll manage.
00:57:16Do you need anything? Do you want to talk?
00:57:18Why are you here?
00:57:20Is it because you care?
00:57:22I understand what it feels like
00:57:24to lose a parent.
00:57:26You care.
00:57:28You care, don't you?
00:57:30I was concerned.
00:57:32But if you're fine, I should go.
00:57:34Please don't go.
00:57:36Have you been drinking?
00:57:38Jonathan, this is so inappropriate.
00:57:40Mabel, Mabel, listen.
00:57:42Listening. Mabel signing in.
00:57:44How can I help, Jonathan?
00:57:46Sorry.
00:57:54What is that?
00:57:56Hello, Miss Morris. I'm Mabel.
00:57:58An AI modeled after you.
00:58:00Mabel, Mabel, stop!
00:58:04Wait, wait.
00:58:10I'm sorry.
00:58:12I'm sorry. This was my way
00:58:14of coping with your absence.
00:58:16It was never meant to be discovered like this.
00:58:22This is too much.
00:58:26This isn't just obsession.
00:58:28This is unhealthy.
00:58:30I know. It's wrong.
00:58:34Please, I'll never bother you again.
00:58:36Just give me some time and I'll go.
00:58:38I swear.
00:58:40Are you okay, Jonathan?
00:58:44Yes.
00:58:46Yes. Thank you.
00:59:02You were right about the rain.
00:59:14Yeah.
00:59:22Outstanding, Mabel.
00:59:24This product will be a hit.
00:59:28You know Mr. Whiteford today?
00:59:32Yes.
00:59:34He wished to come but couldn't make it.
00:59:36He was caught up with family matters.
00:59:38Did you hear about his mother?
00:59:44Good morning.
00:59:46I'm here to announce
00:59:48the passing of my mother,
00:59:50Barbara Whiteford,
00:59:52due to a severe stroke.
00:59:56It's a challenging time for our family
00:59:58and we appreciate your thoughts.
01:00:00While we mourn, I also need to address
01:00:02serious matters involving Julie Miller,
01:00:04a close associate
01:00:06of our family.
01:00:08Years ago,
01:00:10Fiona Miller, my then girlfriend,
01:00:12developed a system named after her
01:00:14that laid the foundation for
01:00:16Whiteford Tech. Her untimely death
01:00:18I recently learned was
01:00:20orchestrated by her sister,
01:00:22Julie Miller,
01:00:24with my mother's knowledge.
01:00:26Moreover,
01:00:28Julie Miller
01:00:30has been involved in other
01:00:32immoral acts.
01:00:34She hired gang members
01:00:36for violent acts and caused deep harm
01:00:38to someone close to my heart.
01:00:40I'm not seeking
01:00:42forgiveness for the family.
01:00:44I only want justice.
01:00:46Julie now stands trial for her
01:00:48actions. The Fiona
01:00:50system, pivotal
01:00:52in uncovering these truths,
01:00:54will now be decommissioned
01:00:56and made publicly available
01:00:58for the advancement of technology.
01:01:00It's time for fresh perspectives.
01:01:02I'm stepping
01:01:04down.
01:01:06Whiteford Tech will now be
01:01:08under Nova, led by
01:01:10Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morse.
01:01:12This is leadership and vision
01:01:14I trust.
01:01:16This will be my last public appearance.
01:01:18All my shares in Whiteford Tech
01:01:20will be transferred to Mabel Morse.
01:01:22The future is
01:01:24in her hands. Thank you.
01:01:28Did you know about this?
01:01:32So that's it.
01:01:34We are owners of the largest
01:01:36tech company in the country.
01:01:58Hey, Jonathan.
01:02:00Sup?
01:02:02Hey,
01:02:04why did you
01:02:06leave the company and all of your
01:02:08shares? What the...
01:02:12Facial recognition
01:02:14successful. Welcome,
01:02:16Mabel.
01:02:28Where's Jonathan?
01:02:30He has moved away.
01:02:32He is,
01:02:34I quote, giving you
01:02:36space.
01:02:38He moved?
01:02:40Where? I'm afraid
01:02:42I don't know.
01:02:46He really left everything behind?
01:02:48He said
01:02:50it would be for the best.
01:03:00Maybe
01:03:04he's right.
01:03:08Maybe it is for the best.
01:03:18I found the programmer that you've been looking for.
01:03:20Here's everything on him.
01:03:22The best we could dig up.
01:03:24Thank you. Hey,
01:03:26you need to learn to take some more breaks.
01:03:28You're setting the bar way too high for the rest of us.
01:03:34I'll slow down
01:03:36once we've got more skilled people like this one
01:03:38working for us.
01:03:48Hey,
01:03:50Kristen, good to see you.
01:03:58Facial recognition
01:04:00successful. Welcome,
01:04:02Mabel.
01:04:12Nice work,
01:04:14Jonathan. I know.
01:04:16Hi.
01:04:18How did you...
01:04:20Weeks ago, we discovered
01:04:22a mysterious programmer.
01:04:24Their work was outstanding. I just
01:04:26had to know who it was.
01:04:30I'm sorry.
01:04:32I got bored.
01:04:34I wanted something to do.
01:04:36Recoding gave you away.
01:04:38It felt familiar, like you.
01:04:40The way the
01:04:42numbers and the figures went together,
01:04:44I don't know, it kind of felt romantic.
01:04:48Why did you leave everything behind?
01:04:50Don't you miss it?
01:04:52I wanted
01:04:54to fix my mistakes,
01:04:56to help you.
01:05:00I want you to be happy, Mabel.
01:05:04You left without saying goodbye.
01:05:06I know. I'm sorry.
01:05:08I knew you wouldn't forgive me
01:05:10if I left, but I needed to
01:05:12distance myself from you. It was the only way
01:05:14I knew how to forgive you.
01:05:16Have you succeeded?
01:05:18I'm good.
01:05:26Oh, wait.
01:05:30At Novatec, we offer
01:05:32competitive pay and
01:05:34flexible schedules with remote
01:05:36opportunities and
01:05:38free meals.
01:05:40Sounds good.
01:05:42There's more.
01:05:44We have benefits, like
01:05:46honeymoon leave and
01:05:48childcare support
01:05:50and fun company
01:05:52events.
01:05:54So, Jonathan Whiteford,
01:05:56how would you feel about
01:05:58joining Novatec?
01:06:00As an executive?
01:06:02No, as staff, but I would be thrilled
01:06:04to have you as a senior programmer.
01:06:08Pretty good offer.
01:06:10Also,
01:06:12there are no
01:06:14restrictions
01:06:16about relationships
01:06:18with colleagues.
01:06:20So, if you happen
01:06:22to like someone at work,
01:06:24it's cool.
01:06:26That's good to know.
