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 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.
00:05:23I 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, you've met.
00:05:44I was thinking of setting you two up on a date.
00:05:47You make a cute couple.
00:05:57A 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.
00:06:28What 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
00:06:43and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:45Have I made myself clear?
00:06:48Now, about you and Ryan.
00:06:52You're quite the pair.
00:06:54I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:07:14Morning.
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 mean, walking in a flash.
00:08:55Who knows? I might even become an abuser.
00:08:58An abuser?
00:08:59Do you use ropes?
00:09:01What?
00:09:02You 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.
00:09:54Be cool.
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.

00:34:10Food helped.
00:34:15You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:19It's okay to feel vulnerable.
00:34:21We all have our moments.
00:34:23It's just...
00:34:27It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:29I get it.
00:34:31And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:34:35I've lost a loved one, too.
00:34:37Great. Do you have a dead girlfriend also?
00:34:39A dead girlfriend? Wait.
00:34:42You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.
00:34:44So you knew. You knew all this time.
00:34:47But you two are completely different.
00:34:49I know.
00:34:52I didn't lose a lover.
00:34:56It was my mother I lost.
00:35:00Ryan, I'm sorry.
00:35:02It's okay.
00:35:05This whole week is just like...
00:35:08Everything feels so pointless.
00:35:12That's a natural feeling to have.
00:35:14I 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.
00:35:25No, seriously.
00:35:27Modern 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, just call me.
00:35:56I will. I think I just need some time to think things over.
00:36:00Have you considered your next steps?
00:36:03Not sure.
00:36:05Quit my job, settled the debts.
00:36:07Now the world's just kind of open to me.
00:36:09Strange.
00:36:11Well, there's a spot for you at Novatec.
00:36:14Are you sure about me leading?
00:36:16You're the best one to lead it.
00:36:18Come on, just give it a shot.
00:36:20I'll think about it. Seriously.
00:36:22That's all I can ask.
00:36:30Mabel?
00:36:32Are you doing okay?
00:36:35Why are you here?
00:36:38Mabel?
00:36:40Are you doing okay?
00:36:42Why are you here?
00:36:44I saw what happened on the news and I...
00:36:46You're worried?
00:36:48Save it. It's none of your business.
00:36:50Mabel, please, let me just...
00:36:52I'm done!
00:36:54Listening, Jonathan.
00:36:56I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.
00:37:01And now I finally know the truth.
00:37:05I thought what we had was real.
00:37:08But I was just a pill
00:37:10for a wound that won't heal.
00:37:17I truly loved you,
00:37:19Jonathan.
00:37:25Don't come looking for me again.
00:37:28Leave me alone.
00:37:30It's my final request.
00:37:33And this is the upstairs division.
00:37:37What do you think?
00:37:39I love it. It's so lively.
00:37:41That's the goal.
00:37:43Hey, I'm in.
00:37:45But I have one condition.
00:37:47I'd like to work from a different city.
00:37:49Why's that?
00:37:51Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.
00:37:53That's where you're headed, right?
00:37:55Someone's been doing her homework.
00:37:57And for a new market, it's important.
00:37:59Someone's been doing her homework.
00:38:01And for a new market, it's important
00:38:03to have someone you trust by your side.
00:38:05I'm listening.
00:38:11How cute is this?
00:38:13Welcome to the team, Mabel.
00:38:15Let me show you around.
00:38:24Sir?
00:38:26You have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes.
00:38:29Right.
00:38:31Bring me their pitch deck and 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 her.
00:38:51She can't be replaced.
00:38:55There's no one like her.
00:39:00Why don't you start in the living room?
00:39:04What?
00:39:07What is happening here?
00:39:09We're just doing our job, sir.
00:39:11Please don't interrupt.
00:39:13Where are these going?
00:39:15They're going to the donation.
00:39:17The owner already left.
00:39:25Get out.
00:39:27Then, who's that?
00:39:31Do you not want to talk?
00:39:35You haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:39:37Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:39:39Just move on.
00:39:41Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:39:43She's clearly just a fill-in for Fiona.
00:39:45Nothing more than her look-alike.
00:39:47She's different.
00:39:49Funny, professional.
00:39:51She makes me feel good about myself.
00:39:53She's Mabel.
00:39:55And I actually like her for who she is.
00:40:05What about our engagement?
00:40:07Julie.
00:40:11When Fiona left,
00:40:13I was lost.
00:40:15I would never marry you having some
00:40:17fleeting feelings for her.
00:40:19That's not right for either one of us.
00:40:21No, you don't determine that.
00:40:23Our marriage, since the day we met,
00:40:25I sacrificed so much for that dream.
00:40:27I lost everything.
00:40:29What do you mean by that?
00:40:31Nothing.
00:40:33Nothing.
00:40:35What are you hiding?
00:40:37Nothing.
00:40:39Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:40:41I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:40:43You're delusional.
00:40:47This is silly.
00:40:49Baby,
00:40:51we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?
00:40:57Just sleep this off and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:41:09Hi.
00:41:11Get me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.
00:41:13It's urgent.
00:41:15The hospital's footage was erased,
00:41:17but a doctor remembers a young woman
00:41:19claiming to be Mabel's friend.
00:41:21A young woman?
00:41:23Yes, sir.
00:41:25A detailed description matches
00:41:27Miss Miller.
00:41:29Julie.
00:41:31Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?
00:41:33No, don't bother.
00:41:35Any news on Mabel's location?
00:41:39She just purchased tickets
00:41:41for many destinations.
00:41:43Many 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.
00:41:53Now.
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?
00:42:21Wait, 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.
00:42:47No one pushed her.
00:42:49She has her life. We have ours.
00:42:51They don't intersect.
00:42:53Remember, you have responsibilities.
00:42:55The 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!
00:43:11I know it's already too late,
00:43:13but my feelings for her are real.
00:43:17I'll wait for her.
00:43:19I'll wait as long as it takes
00:43:21because this is my life!
00:43:25And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:43:41Mabel, turn it off.
00:43:43Mabel!
00:43:47Okay, you lazy bone.
00:43:49Come on.
00:43:51There's a meeting to attend to.
00:43:53Programmed you too well, didn't I?
00:43:55I learned it myself.
00:43:57Exactly. That's why I said
00:43:59I programmed you too well.
00:44:01Show off.
00:44:03The driver is ten minutes away.
00:44:05Got it.
00:44:07Put some clothes on.
00:44:11You can't see me, right?
00:44:13Don't need to.
00:44:15I know you.
00:44:17I know you.
00:44:19I know you.
00:44:21I know you.
00:44:23I know you.
00:44:25I know you.
00:44:27I know you.
00:44:29I know you.
00:44:31I know you.
00:44:33I know you too well.
00:44:35Heard that?
00:44:37Incoming call
00:44:39from
00:44:41Mrs. Whiteford.
00:44:43Put it through.
00:44:45Mr. Whiteford? It's urgent.
00:44:47Please come home. Your mother's condition is critical.
00:44:49What happened?
00:45:00She suffered a stroke last night.
00:45:03What?
00:45:04What?
00:45:05I'm sure whatever, right?
00:45:07She's all right for now, but she might not speak again.
00:45:11What?
00:45:12A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford.
00:45:15She's lucky she's even breathing.
00:45:19Sweetie.
00:45:21Hi.
00:45:23What can I do to help?
00:45:27You can keep her calm.
00:45:29She's a fighter.
00:45:30She might be able to pull through.
00:45:32You see me?
00:45:35I'm here.
00:45:38Mabel, this is my father who I've been telling you about.
00:45:42Mabel, it's such a pleasure.
00:45:44Ryan's told me so much about you.
00:45:46Likewise.
00:45:47He's going on about those unique seeds that you've been planting.
00:45:52He's kind of nerdy sometimes.
00:45:54Oh, so nerdy.
00:45:55Mabel.
00:46:06Hey.
00:46:09When did you return?
00:46:10Mabel, we can leave this here.
00:46:12No need.
00:46:14We're just chatting.
00:46:16Jonathan, it's nice to see you.
00:46:18I was just looking for you.
00:46:20You deliberately ignored my request.
00:46:22I asked to be left alone.
00:46:24Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.
00:46:25Everything was sorted.
00:46:27It's all behind us.
00:46:32Hey, Jonathan, they're just here to visit an old man.
00:46:36Isn't that okay?
00:46:37Dad, this is your home as well.
00:46:39We don't need his approval.
00:46:41Actually, Jack, I was thinking you should come live in the city with us.
00:46:44I see you two, you live together, huh?
00:46:47It's none of your business.
00:46:49Mabel, I just wanted to...
00:46:50I see you haven't changed.
00:46:54Sorry, Jack, I just remembered I have a phone call that I need to make.
00:47:00Mabel.
00:47:06We can talk about it, you know?
00:47:08About the product launch?
00:47:09My only concern is the interface.
00:47:10It's not user-friendly enough.
00:47:12Mabel, it's okay to be upset with Jonathan.
00:47:15No need to hide it.
00:47:16He's just a competitor now.
00:47:18Speaking of which, the new app at WiferTech is dominating the charts.
00:47:21We should look into that.
00:47:22Can I ask you something?
00:47:24If you're going to say something irritating, I'm not interested.
00:47:28Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:47:30No.
00:47:34He broke my heart once.
00:47:36I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:47:48This is Mabel.
00:47:50Head of Careers.
00:47:51Nice to meet the team.
00:47:52We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.
00:47:55Your products are so exciting.
00:47:58We always try our very best to ensure...
00:48:02Good morning.
00:48:03What are you doing here?
00:48:05Mr. Whiteford, welcome.
00:48:08Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.
00:48:11He's shown great interest in this product and requested to join us at this meeting.
00:48:16I hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.
00:48:19Considering the product is still under testing, we typically limit our attendance.
00:48:23He's welcome to join.
00:48:25I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.
00:48:28His insight is invaluable.
00:48:32Do you mind if I take a seat?
00:48:33I love being part of the creative process.
00:48:36What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:44At the end of the day, our product is really exciting,
00:48:47and thank you all so much for spending your afternoon with us at Novatec.
00:48:50We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:48:55Well, this sounds like a game changer.
00:48:58Congratulations.
00:49:01Mr. Whiteford, your thoughts?
00:49:06It's good.
00:49:08Surely, as a leader in this industry, you have more to offer than good.
00:49:13I don't think it's my place to say more.
00:49:15If we always play it safe, we'll never achieve perfection.
00:49:21You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:49:24It's a strong product, but not yet a market leader.
00:49:29But there's potential.
00:49:31Your media needs more clarity.
00:49:33Apparently, it's affecting your overall product.
00:49:36You need to improve the interactive system.
00:49:38It's far too average.
00:49:40And the interface needs to be more user-friendly, you notice.
00:49:43But overall, truly, truly, well done.
00:49:50Proud of you.
00:49:53Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.
00:49:55Sorry.
00:49:56I sometimes get carried away with talent for teens.
00:50:03Well, then.
00:50:05Let's clone some numbers, shall we?
00:50:07Do we look mad budget-wise?
00:50:16Hey.
00:50:17Great job on today's pitch.
00:50:19It was a team effort.
00:50:20You still have some work to do, though?
00:50:22Looking forward to launching it.
00:50:24Well, if it's nonstop, we're going to get some rest.
00:50:28Well, you still had time to find the handsome lawyer.
00:50:33Wait.
00:50:34You knew about it.
00:50:35Ryan, you are the only guy who hasn't made a pass at me.
00:50:38I had my suspicions.
00:50:40I thought Barbara set us up for that reason, but she's clueless.
00:50:44Still hoping for a wedding.
00:50:48I'll see you tomorrow.
00:50:50Absolutely.
00:50:51If you hear anything, especially about Jonathan, just ask.
00:50:55Bet it's all behind me.
00:50:57Don't worry.
00:51:18Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:51:20Just a coincidence, Miss Morris.
00:51:22See, um, I live here, too.
00:51:25Yeah, right.
00:51:30Hey.
00:51:43Can you give me some space?
00:51:47Sweet memories.
00:51:51When did you move here?
00:51:53Because I was under the impression that this space housed one.
00:51:59It housed two.
00:52:08Oh, what a coincidence.
00:52:11I live here, too.
00:52:13Guess what?
00:52:14My passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:16Jonah.
00:52:17His passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:21Why do you care?
00:52:30Good night, Mabel.
00:52:32That's an early night.
00:52:33Rough day?
00:52:34Actually, it's one of the best days of my life.
00:52:38Really?
00:52:39What happened?
00:52:42Good night, Mabel.
00:52:52Need a ride, Miss Morris?
00:52:55No, thank you.
00:52:56I prefer to walk.
00:52:57Are you kidding?
00:52:58It's about to rain.
00:52:59Come on.
00:53:01I'll take you.
00:53:11Busy day ahead?
00:53:13You seemed really occupied yesterday.
00:53:16The deal was a quiet ride.
00:53:19You know, I have a tip for your product, if you're interested.
00:53:27Okay, fine.
00:53:28What is it?
00:53:29Your interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:53:31The uniform font size is causing confusion, but a little variation can help.
00:53:36You're right.
00:53:39We wanted simplicity, but maybe too much, though.
00:53:43It's a good approach, but you need to experiment a bit.
00:53:47You've always been a rule-breaker, Mabel.
00:53:57Her condition worsened.
00:54:14We thought it would be best if you were here.
00:54:17Is there anything that can be done for her?
00:54:21We've done everything.
00:54:24Her vitals are going quickly.
00:54:25I'm so sorry.
00:54:26I'm going to get some medicine.
00:54:27Okay?
00:54:28Mom.
00:54:29Hey.
00:54:30I'm right here.
00:54:31Have you seen me?
00:54:32Is there anything we can get for you?
00:54:33I'm leaving you.
00:54:34No.
00:54:35No.
00:54:36You're fine.
00:54:37Okay, we're taking you home.
00:54:38I'm sorry.
00:54:39I'm sorry.
00:54:40I'm sorry.
00:54:41I'm sorry.
00:54:42I'm sorry.
00:54:43I'm sorry.
00:54:44I'm sorry.
00:54:45I'm sorry.
00:54:46I'm sorry.
00:54:47I'm sorry.
00:54:48I'm sorry.
00:54:49I'm sorry.
00:54:50I'm sorry.
00:54:51I'm sorry.
00:54:53You're fine.
00:54:54Okay, we're taking good care of you.
00:54:56My son.
00:54:59I'm truly sorry.
00:55:06The best moment you've ever had.
00:55:11I want you to be happy.
00:55:15I am happy.
00:55:17I'm happy.
00:55:20After Fiona, I saw how you suffered.
00:55:26I regret so many.
00:55:31I overlooked things after Fiona's death.
00:55:37You changed so much.
00:55:42What do you mean, Mom?
00:55:44Just promise me you'll be happy.
00:55:47You'll be able for everyone else.
00:55:51Promise me.
00:55:57That it's time you learned the truth about everything.
00:56:08Oh, my God.
00:56:10It's official.
00:56:11My wife just died.
00:56:13Really?
00:56:14What happened?
00:56:15It was sudden.
00:56:16John Lefferts confirmed it.
00:56:18Are you okay?
00:56:20Um, I have to go.
00:56:24Go.
00:56:25Take the day off.
00:56:26Thanks.
00:56:45Facial recognition successful.
00:56:48Welcome, Mabel.
00:56:50Facial recognition, huh?
00:56:57Sullivan?
00:57:02Why are you here?
00:57:09I saw the news.
00:57:11Are you okay?
00:57:13I'll manage.
00:57:15Do you need anything?
00:57:16Do you want to talk?
00:57:17Why are you here?
00:57:19Is it because you care?
00:57:21I understand what it feels like to lose a parent.
00:57:24But that's not why you're here.
00:57:27You 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.
00:57:35Please.
00:57:36Have you been drinking?
00:57:38Jonathan, this is so inappropriate.
00:57:40Mabel, Mabel, listen.
00:57:41Listening.
00:57:42Mabel signing in.
00:57:43How can I help, Jonathan?
00:57:54What is that?
00:57:55Hello, Miss Morris.
00:57:56I'm Mabel, an AI modeled after you.
00:57:59Mabel, Mabel, stop!
00:58:03Wait, wait.
00:58:10I'm sorry.
00:58:12I'm sorry.
00:58:13This was my way of coping with your absence.
00:58:15It 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.
00:58:29I know.
00:58:30It's wrong.
00:58:33Please, I'll never bother you again.
00:58:36Just give me some time and I'll go.
00:58:37I swear.
00:58:39Are you okay, Jonathan?
00:58:44Yes.
00:58:46Yes.
00:59:03You were right about the rain.
00:59:22Outstanding, Mabel.
00:59:24This product will be a hit.
00:59:29Did you see Mr. Whiteford today?
00:59:32Yes, he wished to come but couldn't make it.
00:59:36He was caught up with family matters.
00:59:39Did you hear about his mother?
00:59:44Morning.
00:59:47I'm here to announce the passing of my mother, Barbara Whiteford, due to a severe stroke.
00:59:56This is a time for our family and we appreciate your thoughts.
00:59:59While we mourn, I also need to address serious matters involving Julie Miller, a close associate of our family.
01:00:08Years ago, Fiona Miller, my then-girlfriend and I, developed a system named after her that laid the foundation for Whiteford Tech.
01:00:17The timely death I recently learned was orchestrated by her sister, Julie Miller, with my mother's knowledge.
01:00:27Moreover, Julie Miller has been involved in other immoral acts.
01:00:34She hired gang members for violent acts and caused deep harm to someone close to my heart.
01:00:41I'm not seeking forgiveness for the family.
01:00:44I only want justice.
01:00:46Julie now stands trial for her actions.
01:00:49The Fiona system, pivotal in uncovering these truths, will now be decommissioned and made publicly available for the advancement of technology.
01:01:00It's time for fresh perspectives.
01:01:03I'm stepping down.
01:01:06Whiteford Tech will now be under NOVA, led by Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morse, whose leadership and vision I trust.
01:01:15This will be my last public appearance.
01:01:18All my shares in Whiteford Tech will be transferred to Mabel Morse.
01:01:22The future is in her hands. Thank you.
01:01:32So that's it.
01:01:34We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.
01:01:45Hey, Jonathan.
01:02:00So.
01:02:04Hey, why did you leave the company and all of your shares?
01:02:08What?
01:02:12Facial recognition successful.
01:02:14Welcome, Mabel.
01:02:28Where's Jonathan?
01:02:30He has moved away.
01:02:32He is, I quote, giving you space.
01:02:38He moved? Where?
01:02:41I'm afraid I don't know.
01:02:46He really left everything behind.
01:02:49He said it would be for the best.
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.
01:03:21Here's everything on him.
01:03:22The best we could dig up.
01:03:25Hey, you need to learn to take some more breaks.
01:03:28You're setting the bar way too high for the rest of us.
01:03:35I'll slow down once we've got more skilled people like this one working for us.
01:03:50You.
01:03:58Facial recognition successful.
01:04:00Welcome, Mabel.
01:04:13Nice work, Jonathan.
01:04:19How did you...
01:04:20Weeks ago, we discovered a mysterious programmer.
01:04:24Their work was outstanding.
01:04:25I just had to know who it was.
01:04:30I'm sorry.
01:04:31I, uh, got bored.
01:04:34I wanted something to do.
01:04:36Recoding gave you away.
01:04:38It felt familiar, like you.
01:04:41The way the numbers and the figures went together, I don't know, it kind of felt romantic.
01:04:47Why did you leave everything behind?
01:04:50Don't you miss it?
01:04:53I wanted to fix my mistakes.
01:04:57Help you.
01:04:59I want you to be happy, Mabel.
01:05:03You left without saying goodbye.
01:05:05I know.
01:05:06I'm sorry.
01:05:08I knew you wouldn't forgive me if I left, but I needed to distance myself from you.
01:05:12It was the only way I knew how to forgive you.
01:05:16You succeeded.
01:05:21And good.
01:05:27Oh, wait.
01:05:31At Novatec, we offer competitive pay and flexible schedules with remote opportunities and free meals.
01:05:41Sounds good.
01:05:42There's more.
01:05:44We have benefits, like penny meals and child care support and fun company events.
01:05:53So, Jonathan Whiteford, how would you feel about joining Novatec?
01:06:00As an executive?
01:06:02No, as staff, but I would be thrilled to have you as a senior programmer.
01:06:08Pretty good offer.
01:06:11Also, there are no restrictions about relationships with colleagues.
01:06:20So, if you happen to like someone at work, it's cool.
01:06:26That's good to know.
