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.
00:00:18šµ
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.
00:00:48šµ
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?
00:01:45šµ
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?
00:02:29šµ
00:02:42Oh, well, well.
00:02:44Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Maple.
00:02:48Well, I learned from the best.
00:02:50šµ
00:02:58šµ
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 are 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.
00:05:24I actually may be able to help you.
00:05:26Jonathan has a few things to do.
00:05:28I actually may be able to help you.
00:05:30Jonathan has a few favorite spots around here.
00:05:33Though he doesn't visit much nowadays.
00:05:35He does have quite a few properties.
00:05:37Yes, he prefers to live alone.
00:05:40Is that so?
00:05:41Oh good, you've met.
00:05:44I was thinking of setting you two up on a date.
00:05:47You make a cute couple.
00:05:50What?
00:05:58A date?
00:05:59Yes, Mabel.
00:06:01Ryan's a fine young man and you're a diligent worker.
00:06:05You make a good match.
00:06:07Well, it's a kind offer but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.
00:06:12No offense.
00:06:13None taken.
00:06:15Anyway, I should go find Jonathan.
00:06:17The early meeting.
00:06:21Mabel, you're a smart girl.
00:06:25I know how busy you've been serving my son.
00:06:28What fun you've had.
00:06:30I don't understand.
00:06:31Let me clarify.
00:06:33You're barely a side dish.
00:06:35Now the main course is served.
00:06:38Stay away from my son.
00:06:41Or lose your position at the company and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:45Have I made myself clear?
00:06:51Now, about you and Ryan.
00:06:54You're quite the pair.
00:06:56I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:07:15Morning.
00:07:16The files are ready for you to sign.
00:07:25Were you okay last night?
00:07:28What's on my schedule for today?
00:07:33One meeting in the morning, two in the afternoon.
00:07:36And Julie wants a dinner date.
00:07:41I set up calendar alerts.
00:07:46I'm sorry.
00:07:56You're wearing a new perfume today.
00:07:59You applied for it?
00:08:00Yes.
00:08:02Miss Whiteford set me up for a date.
00:08:04It's after work.
00:08:06A date?
00:08:09Are you joking?
00:08:10You're not the only one inclined for a bit of romance.
00:08:13Jonathan.
00:08:16Jonathan.
00:08:25Before we start, you 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.
00:08:36We can just agree that this wasn't a match.
00:08:38And that's your strategy for tonight?
00:08:42Tell me more about yourself.
00:08:43What do you want to know?
00:08:44Family?
00:08:45My mom died, and my father is a gambler.
00:08:48You'd inherit his debts at the altar.
00:08:52Delightful company you are.
00:08:53I'm a walk-in flasher.
00:08:55Who knows? I might even become an abuser.
00:08:58An abuser?
00:08:59Do you use ropes?
00:09:01What?
00:09:03You see, I enjoy being tied up, so I'm rather intrigued.
00:09:08Weirdo.
00:09:10Says Miss Monster Date.
00:09:11Miss Monster Date?
00:09:13Make off.
00:09:22You're Jack's son.
00:09:25He was such a talented gardener.
00:09:27A favorite servant of mine growing up.
00:09:30Do you know mine?
00:09:31We're on a date.
00:09:32Oh, and having fun, I see.
00:09:35We would be, without any interruptions.
00:09:42I think...
00:09:47I'm on my way.
00:09:49Okay, sorry.
00:09:52I have to go.
00:09:54Me too.
00:10:00Excuse me, I am here for my father, Mr. Morris.
00:10:02What happened?
00:10:03He's stable now.
00:10:04The predators got rough with him.
00:10:06Broke a couple ribs, but he's breathing.
00:10:08How do I pay for the bills?
00:10:10They've been paid for.
00:10:12By whom?
00:10:17Ryan, what are you doing here?
00:10:20Finished the date.
00:10:21I'm starving.
00:10:23Very expensive date.
00:10:26I'll pay you back.
00:10:27Later.
00:10:28For now, let's get something to eat.
00:10:31So, you grew up in the White Frig Mansion?
00:10:34Yeah, I did.
00:10:36I helped my dad with the gardens,
00:10:38and we planted exotic flowers from around the world.
00:10:41Paradise for plant geeks, for sure.
00:10:43I'm super nerdy.
00:10:47I'm sorry.
00:10:48It's okay.
00:10:49It's okay.
00:10:50It's okay.
00:10:51It's okay.
00:10:52It's okay.
00:10:53It's okay.
00:10:54It's okay.
00:10:55It's okay.
00:10:56It's okay.
00:10:57It's okay.
00:10:58It's okay.
00:11:00It's okay.
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 Lule.
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 then it 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.
00:12:20Jealous?
00:12:21Not as much as you.
00:12:28I'm sorry.
00:12:30I love you.
00:12:56Morning.
00:12:58Coffee or tea?
00:13:00Uh, coffee.
00:13:06You never make me breakfast.
00:13:10Last night must have been record-breaking.
00:13:14I mean...
00:13:18I'm breaking up with you.
00:13:23What do you mean?
00:13:25Well, more of an ending than a breakup, really.
00:13:27We need to stop.
00:13:28Whatever this is.
00:13:30What about last night?
00:13:33Consider 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.
00:13:43I'm sorry.

00:30:13Fiona was sweet but too naive for our world her innocence was a liability I
00:30:21tried separating Jonathan and Fiona for years Jonathan was so invested even
00:30:28ignoring this family to pursue his little tech project all encouraged by
00:30:33Fiona luckily his project succeeded but not without him taking down his father's
00:30:39legacy first we could have been so much more influential so powerful
00:30:47but just when I thought all was lost Fiona was out of the picture

00:47:17competitor now speaking of which the new app at white for tech is dominating

00:49:12good I don't think it's my place to say more if we always play it safe we'll
00:49:16never achieve perfection you've grown a lot Mabel and so this strong product but
00:49:26not yet a market leader but there's potential your money needs more clarity
00:49:32currently it's affecting your overall product need to improve the interactive
00:49:37system it's far too happy and the interface needs to be more user-friendly
00:49:42notice but overall truly truly well done proud of you
00:49:52professional boundaries sorry I sometimes get carried away with
00:49:57talent for teens well then let's clone some numbers shall we do we look at
00:50:07budget-wise
00:50:15hey great job on today's pitch it was a team effort you still have some work to
00:50:21do though looking forward to launching it it's non-stop we're gonna get some
00:50:26rest well you still had time to find the
00:50:31answer lawyer wait you knew about it Ryan you are the only guy who hasn't
00:50:37made a pass at me I had my suspicions I thought Barbara set us up for that
00:50:42reason but she's clueless still hoping for a wedding um I'll see you tomorrow
00:50:49absolutely and hey if you think especially about Jonathan just ask but
00:50:56it's all behind me don't worry
00:51:00oh

00:51:24here too yeah right
00:51:30hey can you give me some space
00:51:51when did you move here because I was under the impression that this space

00:53:21for your product if you're interested
00:53:27okay fine the interface needs a better visual hierarchy the uniform font size
00:53:32is causing confusion but a little variation will help you're right we
00:53:39wanted simplicity but maybe too much them it's a good approach but you need
00:53:45to experiment but you've always been a rule-breaker Mabel
00:54:10her condition worsened we thought it would be best if you were here
00:54:20is there anything that could be done for her we've done everything
00:54:27the vitals are going quickly I'm so sorry I'm gonna get some medicine

00:59:37matters did you hear about his mother
00:59:43morning I'm here to announce the passing of my mother Barbara Whiteford
00:59:51due to a severe stroke the challenging time for our family and we appreciate
00:59:58your thoughts while we mourn I also need to address serious matters involving
01:00:03Julie Miller a close associate of our family years ago Fiona Miller my then
01:00:11girlfriend and I developed a system named after her that laid the
01:00:15foundation for Whiteford Tech her untimely death I've recently learned was
01:00:19orchestrated by her sister Julie Miller my mother's knowledge moreover Julie
01:00:29Miller has been involved in other immoral acts she hired gang members for
01:00:36violent acts and caused deep harm to someone close to my heart I'm not
01:00:41seeking forgiveness for the family I only want justice
01:00:45Julie now stands trial for her actions the Fiona system pivotal in uncovering
01:00:53these truths will now be decommissioned and made publicly available for the
01:00:58advancement of technology it's time for fresh perspectives I'm stepping down
01:01:06Whiteford Tech will now be under Nova led by Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morse
01:01:12leadership and vision I trust this will be my last public appearance all my
01:01:18shares in Whiteford Tech will be transferred to Mabel Morse
01:01:23futures in her hands thank you
01:01:26so that's it we are owners of the largest tech company in the country
