00:00:00Today'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.
00:00:14This is Amber Wilson from KKR News.
00:00:17Mr. Whiteford, your meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:00:31You smoking cigarettes?
00:00:35It's an important meeting. We need to get ready.
00:00:39You can be a little soft in the morning.
00:00:41Everyone likes a buzzkill.
00:00:45Good morning to you, too.
00:00:47I've never had Mediterranean food before.
00:00:52So he immediately takes me to this restaurant on 45th.
00:00:56Man, Jonathan, he's quite the romantic.
00:00:59And anyone?
00:01:00Oh, Mabel, right?
00:01:04Sorry, I didn't mean to take your seat. Come join us.
00:01:06We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:01:10Oh, Mabel would know. She schedules everything.
00:01:12Oh, right. His personal assistant.
00:01:18It's nice to meet you. I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiancee.
00:01:22Nice to meet you, Miss Miller.
00:01:25Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal.
00:01:29Take this as...
00:01:30I've read so many wonderful things about you, Mabel.
00:01:35Julie.
00:01:38What are you doing here?
00:01:39It's just a surprise visit for my lovely fiancée.
00:01:55Julie, I thought we discussed about keeping boundaries.
00:01:58In front of everyone, play the part, Jonathan.
00:02:01We're engaged, remember?
00:02:04Mabel, are you ready for the meeting?
00:02:05Yes, everything's prepared.
00:02:08Good, I want you to take the lead this time.
00:02:10Lead the meeting?
00:02:11Yes, you've earned it.
00:02:13Feel up for it?
00:02:15Absolutely.
00:02:18Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.
00:02:20I need formalities. Come on, let's go.
00:02:22We're gonna be late.
00:02:26Always work first with him, huh?
00:02:28Ooh-ooh.
00:02:29Hey.
00:02:30Hey.
00:02:35Oh, well, well.
00:02:44Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Mabel.
00:02:47Well, I learned from the best.
00:02:49Mm-hmm.
00:02:56I think that's...
00:02:58Is 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?
00:03:17What'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 us well, Mabel.
00:03:45How do we get some toast?
00:03:49A toast.
00:03:56To the union.
00:04:01Mabel, can you pour me some wine?
00:04:04Mabel's a guest.
00:04:05Of course.
00:04:06Miss Miller?
00:04:07I'm soon to be Mrs. Whiteford.
00:04:11Dad, I'm still your daughter.
00:04:13We are so excited to welcome you into our family.
00:04:16This is the first joyful dinner we've had since Fiona.
00:04:27With Jonathan and Julie together.
00:04:31Mother, it almost feels like Fiona is with us here again.
00:04:38Mom.
00:04:40Oh, we are so looking forward to this marriage.
00:04:43Yeah.
00:04:46I'm full.
00:04:48Please enjoy.
00:04:49You okay?
00:05:06You okay?
00:05:08Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:05:10I thought you were someone else.
00:05:12Who are you looking for?
00:05:14Jonathan Whiteford.
00:05:16The owner of the mansion.
00:05:18You, uh, must be his girlfriend.
00:05:20No, just his assistant.
00:05:22I see.
00:05:23I'm Ryan.
00:05:24My father is the gardener here.
00:05:26I 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.
00:05:34He does have quite a few properties.
00:05:37Yes, he prefers to live alone.
00:05:39Is that so?
00:05:41Oh, good.
00:05:41You've met.
00:05:42I was thinking of setting you two up on a date.
00:05:47You make a cute couple.
00:05:47Petit?
00:05:58Yes, Mabel?
00:06:00Ryan's a fine young man, and you're a diligent worker.
00:06:04You make a good match.
00:06:06Well, it's a kind offer, but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.
00:06:11No effect.
00:06:13None taken.
00:06:14Anyway, I should go find Jonathan.
00:06:16Then he 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.
00:06:38Stay away from my son.
00:06:41Or lose your position at the company and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:44Have I made myself clear?
00:06:50Now, about you and Ryan.
00:06:54You're quite the pair.
00:06:55I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:06:57I 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?
00:07:27What'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.
00:07:40I set up calendar alerts.
00:07:42You're wearing a new perfume today.
00:07:58If I'd would.
00:08:00Yes.
00:08:01Miss Whiteford set me up for a date.
00:08:04It's after work.
00:08:05A date?
00:08:08Are you joking?
00:08:09You're not the only one inclined for a bit of romance.
00:08:13Jonathan.
00:08:24Before we start, you should know that I am a messy eater.
00:08:28And 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.
00:08:42What 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.
00:08:51Delightful company you are.
00:08:53I'm walking in the flat.
00:08:54Who knows?
00:08:55I might even become an abuser.
00:08:57An abuser?
00:08:58Do you use ropes?
00:09:01What?
00:09:02You see, I enjoy being tied up, so rather intrigued.
00:09:07Ah, weirdo.
00:09:09It says Miss Monster Day.
00:09:12Maple.
00:09:13You're Jack's son.
00:09:24He was such a talented gardener.
00:09:27A favorite servant of mine growing up.
00:09:30If you don't mind, we're on a date.
00:09:32Oh, and having fun, I see.
00:09:34We would be.
00:09:36Without any interruptions.
00:09:38I'm on my way.
00:09:50Okay.
00:09:51Sorry.
00:09:52I have to go.
00:09:55Here you go.
00:10:01Yeah, I'm here for my father, Mr. Morris.
00:10:03What happened?
00:10:04He's stable now.
00:10:06The character's got rough with him.
00:10:07Broke a couple ribs, but he's breathing.
00:10:10How do I pay for the bills?
00:10:14They've been paid for.
00:10:16By whom?
00:10:21Ryan.
00:10:22What are you doing here?
00:10:24Finish the date.
00:10:25It's a very expensive date.
00:10:31I'll pay you back.
00:10:32Later.
00:10:33For now, let's get something to eat.
00:10:37So, you grew up in the White Free Mansion?
00:10:48Yeah, I did.
00:10:49I helped my dad with the gardens, and we planted exotic flowers from around the world.
00:10:55Paradise for plant geeks, for sure.
00:10:57I'm super nerdy.
00:10:58You were serious about your father's debts, right?
00:11:05He was a gambler.
00:11:09He's changed, but it still haunts us.
00:11:13I just hope to one day settle the debts.
00:11:16You were not the terrible person you made yourself out to be.
00:11:18You've known me for one day.
00:11:21Hold your conclusion, Sherlock.
00:11:24Well, this is more.
00:11:29Um, goodnight, nerd.
00:11:31Goodnight, monster date.
00:11:32It's late.
00:11:44Where you been?
00:11:50Were 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.
00:11:58Your mother set us up, Jonathan.
00:12:00How 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.
00:12:06I might consider a second date.
00:12:09I can still smell Julie's perfume.
00:12:11Then come shower it off me.
00:12:15You went on a date with another man.
00:12:17And you took another woman to a restaurant that I recommended.
00:12:19Jealous?
00:12:21Not as much as you.
00:12:22I don't know.
00:12:32Morning.
00:12:50Morning.
00:12:50Coffee or tea?
00:12:54Coffee.
00:12:55Morning.
00:12:57Coffee or tea?
00:12:59Uh, coffee.
00:13:05They never make me breakfast.
00:13:10Last night must have been record-breaking.
00:13:11I mean...
00:13:12I'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.
00:13:29What about last night?
00:13:33Consider it a breakup gift.
00:13:34Breakup?
00:13:34We aren't even together.
00:13:36Exactly.
00:13:36It shouldn't be too hard to move on.
00:13:42Happy 7th Anniversary, Mabel!
00:14:00Anniversary?
00:14:01I mean, 7 years of what for?
00:14:03It kind of flies, doesn't it?
00:14:04Wow, it really has been that long.
00:14:07I'm not the cat's cake, Mabel.
00:14:08You guys are so sweet.
00:14:10What are you doing?
00:14:11What are you doing?
00:14:13Boss, it's her special day.
00:14:15So?
00:14:16We have the meeting with Harbor in an hour.
00:14:19Do your jobs!
00:14:20Do your jobs!
00:14:20What are you doing?
00:14:33What are you doing?
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 want to grab dinner together?
00:15:58Just as friends, of course.
00:16:00I'm not up for another dramatic date.
00:16:04Sure, why not?
00:16:05Where are we going?
00:16:07I know the perfect spot.
00:16:08I'll text you.
00:16:09See you soon.
00:16:09I'm so glad we got to try this thing again.
00:16:15This is amazing.
00:16:17I know.
00:16:18I think it's got some drugs in it or something.
00:16:20It'd be weird if they didn't.
00:16:21How could it be so addictive?
00:16:24How have you been lately?
00:16:26Can't complain.
00:16:28Because you signed an NDA?
00:16:29Or because you are happy?
00:16:31The latter.
00:16:33Although, if I did sign an NDA, I couldn't really share otherwise.
00:16:37Could I?
00:16:38This is true.
00:16:39Hey, I asked you out on a date for a reason.
00:16:44I think we'd make excellent business partners.
00:16:46Business partners?
00:16:47Yeah.
00:16:48Well, I was just saying, our first date was rather chaotic.
00:16:51So I wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you.
00:16:56I'm Ryan Anderson.
00:16:57I'm the founder of Novotech.
00:16:59And I would like for you to join us head of the creative strategies.
00:17:03Novotech.
00:17:09Novotech?
00:17:11But I thought you said you were...
00:17:12The gardener's son.
00:17:14Yes, I still am, but I'm not defined by what my father does.
00:17:18Even if Barbara thinks so.
00:17:21After years of education and hard work, I find myself at MIT and started my own company.
00:17:28It's good to own something of your own, right?
00:17:30That's incredible, Ryan.
00:17:32And I'm grateful for the opportunity, but I already have a job.
00:17:36And I'm just an assistant.
00:17:39So I'm sure there are other people much more qualified than me out there.
00:17:42You're not just anyone.
00:17:44You're the key success to the Whiteford's project.
00:17:47It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.
00:17:51So, cheers to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:17:55Miss Whiteford, um, Jonathan's left for the...
00:18:15I'm here to see you.
00:18:17How was everything with Ryan?
00:18:19It was pleasant.
00:18:21Thank you for the introduction.
00:18:24When do you plan to marry him?
00:18:26We've only just met.
00:18:29I've warned you.
00:18:31No marriage.
00:18:34No job at Whiteford Tech.
00:18:36And you will be banned from the industry.
00:18:40I've ended things with Jonathan.
00:18:42Then marry Ryan to prove it.
00:18:45I've done my research as well, Mabel.
00:18:49Leave my son, and I'll clear all your father's debts.
00:18:53If not, those seeking him will find him.
00:19:00Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance, not me.
00:19:04I don't think you understand the situation.
00:19:07You are nothing to Jonathan.
00:19:11At most, a 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?
00:19:24Mary Ryan, it's my last warning.
00:19:45Did I miss some heat?
00:19:47Uh, no, I just...
00:19:52Your driver couldn't get a hold of you.
00:19:53He was concerned.
00:19:55Mr. Whiteford, it's October 15th.
00:19:57Shit, shit.
00:19:58You never...
00:19:59Always took the day off.
00:20:01It's okay.
00:20:02The car's out front.
00:20:03No, no, it's not okay.
00:20:04I never forget...
00:20:07Clear everything for today.
00:20:09Okay.
00:20:10I've kept your calendar clear, as always.
00:20:12Okay, thank you.
00:20:14Um, the car, Mr. Whiteford.
00:20:16Right.
00:20:16I'll, uh, see you.
00:20:18At the office?
00:20:18Right.
00:20:24Hello?
00:20:25Oh, uh, okay.
00:20:29I'm on my way.
00:20:30The entire server crashed.
00:20:37Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:39Hey, what happened?
00:20:40We are under attack.
00:20:41We need a system reboot.
00:20:42Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:43We need his admin code.
00:20:44Now.
00:20:45Okay, he's out of the office.
00:20:47Let me just try contacting him, okay?
00:20:48We need that code.
00:20:53Do you have access to it?
00:20:54No, that code is highly confidential.
00:20:56Jonathan is the sole owner.
00:20:58Um, let me try.
00:20:59We're completely offline.
00:21:09Come on, Mabel.
00:21:10You know you're the best.
00:21:11Yeah, I won't.
00:21:15Try Fiona.
00:21:17F-I-O-N-A.
00:21:21Fiona.
00:21:22Give it a shot.
00:21:26Fiona.
00:21:26Give it a shot.
00:21:33Remember that awkward dinner at the Whiteford's?
00:21:36It says, Fiona, you are nothing to tell at hand.
00:21:41At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:21:45A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:21:46Hello, Jonathan.
00:21:58Good to see you.
00:22:00How may I help you?
00:22:03Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?
00:22:06Oh, no.
00:22:07That's not Mabel.
00:22:10That's my sister, Fiona.
00:22:14Jonathan's first love.
00:22:14Uh, next, Mabel Morris.
00:22:30Uh, next, Mabel Morris.
00:22:30Hello.
00:22:49You know, coding demands intense focus and absolute silence.
00:22:54That's why having a capable assistant to help with other things, like interviews, is crucial.
00:23:04I'm Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford.
00:23:18Here's my resume.
00:23:22Mabel.
00:23:23Nice to meet you.
00:23:24When can you start?
00:23:40Tomorrow.
00:23:42No, actually, today.
00:23:44Welcome to Wife at Tech.
00:23:47Mabel.
00:23:47Mabel.
00:23:47Mabel.
00:23:49Mabel.
00:23:51Mabel.
00:23:59Mabel.
00:24:00Are you all right?
00:24:02I know.
00:24:03Shocking, isn't it?
00:24:05You know, when they mentioned you years ago, I was concerned.
00:24:09I thought you had actually fallen for someone.
00:24:12But then I saw you, and I knew there was nothing to worry about.
00:24:17To Jonathan, you're just a reminder of my sister.
00:24:21He doesn't love you.
00:24:22You're nothing but a shadow to him.
00:24:24You are, at best, a placebo.
00:24:26Oh, Mabel.
00:24:31Did you actually think you stood a chance?
00:24:37You pathetic slut.
00:24:39Fuck 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, every year.
00:24:54You see, you're just a joke.
00:25:21Hey, Mabel.
00:25:22What's wrong?
00:25:30There was an attack on the system at work today.
00:25:34Okay.
00:25:35Well, since you're here and down at the office, I assume it's resolved.
00:25:41Your mask.
00:25:43What is it?
00:25:46What?
00:25:47The code, Jonathan.
00:25:48What is it?
00:25:48It's none of your business.
00:25:52Come on.
00:25:54Uh, tell me about this attack.
00:26:01So, it's been fixed?
00:26:04We had to restart the system.
00:26:07System reboot.
00:26:09I see.
00:26:10It asked for an admin code.
00:26:12Why didn't you call me?
00:26:13I tried to, but it didn't go through.
00:26:17Signal down there.
00:26:19We got the code.
00:26:22You did?
00:26:24How?
00:26:25Luckily,
00:26:28Julie was there.
00:26:28So, you've seen it.
00:26:35Fiona?
00:26:35Fiona?
00:26:40Yeah.
00:26:45Fiona?
00:26:49Yeah.
00:26:51Mabel.
00:26:51I know you have a lot of questions.
00:26:55Actually,
00:26:56I found a lot of answers today.
00:27:02I thought I was lucky
00:27:03to have that job
00:27:07to work at the company
00:27:10to be
00:27:10by your side
00:27:12to enter a relationship
00:27:15with you or whatever that was.
00:27:18But it turns out
00:27:22I was just a replacement.
00:27:25A replacement
00:27:26for some sick,
00:27:27twisted obsession
00:27:28that you can't get over.
00:27:30I'm shadowing
00:27:30for a dead girlfriend.
00:27:34All those years.
00:27:37What do you bet?
00:27:40You're a fucking goat.
00:27:41Enough!
00:27:43Don't speak.
00:27:45Don't use that.
00:27:46Dead.
00:27:47Ghost.
00:27:49That's the reality
00:27:50of it, Jonathan.
00:27:51She is both.
00:27:58I'm Mabel Lawrence.
00:28:01I'm not...
00:28:03I'm not your dead girlfriend.
00:28:06I'm not Fiona.
00:28:13You're right.
00:28:16You're not her.
00:28:19Nobody is.
00:28:29I've submitted my resignation.
00:28:34Thank you for the opportunity.
00:28:37Years ago,
00:28:37I learned a lot.
00:28:41Bye, Mr. Whiteford.
00:28:42You said you were a friend
00:29:11of Mr. Morrison's?
00:29:12A friend of his daughter,
00:29:13Mabel, actually.
00:29:14Ah, yes, Mabel.
00:29:16She's quite sweet and caring.
00:29:18Absolutely.
00:29:19She asked me to come check on Scott.
00:29:21How's this condition?
00:29:23He's well.
00:29:26With a little rest,
00:29:27she should recover fully.
00:29:29It's good news.
00:29:31He's at Silver Pine Hospital.
00:29:43Tell us creditors.
00:29:45I knew you had it in.
00:29:48Oh, Mrs. Whiteford,
00:29:49I was just...
00:29:50Spare me the excuses, Julie.
00:29:52I've seen what you're capable of.
00:29:57Years ago.
00:30:07That Mrs. Whiteford,
00:30:08there's an enormous understanding.
00:30:10Oh, enough.
00:30:10Julie, cut it.
00:30:11Fiona 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
00:30:23for years.
00:30:26But Jonathan was so invested.
00:30:28Even ignoring this family
00:30:29to pursue his little tech project,
00:30:32all encouraged by Fiona.
00:30:34Luckily, his project succeeded.
00:30:36But not without him taking down
00:30:38his father's legacy first.
00:30:41He could have been so much more
00:30:43influential, so powerful.
00:30:47But just when I thought
00:30:49all was lost,
00:30:51Fiona was out of the picture.
00:30:54Her death was no coincidence, Julie.
00:30:57God plays no favors.
00:30:59I see your hand
00:31:00in her car accident.
00:31:04How long have you known?
00:31:06I've known from the start.
00:31:14What happened?
00:31:16He's...
00:31:17His death play just caught up to him.
00:31:19Oh, are you okay?
00:31:21Prepare for the worst.
00:31:22He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:25How are you playing?
00:31:26Someone must have tipped him off.
00:31:27We're investigating.
00:31:28We'll do our best to locate his attackers.
00:31:31I've warned you.
00:31:33I've seen you in my mind.
00:31:36It's Barbara Whiteford.
00:31:38The Barbara Whiteford Queen of Manhattan?
00:31:41She's after my father.
00:31:43That's a serious accusation, ma'am.
00:31:45Respectfully,
00:31:46your father's not significant enough
00:31:47in part of the way.
00:31:48You don't understand.
00:31:49I got too close to her son,
00:31:51and she told me...
00:31:52Please calm down.
00:31:53No, you don't understand.
00:31:55Please, please.
00:31:55Miss Morris,
00:31:55unfortunately,
00:31:58we couldn't save your father.
00:32:00He passed away.
00:32:05No.
00:32:06No.
00:32:08You look at me.
00:32:09What?
00:32:09No.
00:32:09You look at me.
00:32:14No.
00:32:15No.
00:32:15No.
00:32:15No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:19No.
00:32:20No.
00:32:20No.
00:32:20No.
00:32:22No.
00:32:22No.
00:32:22No.
00:32:23No.
00:32:24No.
00:32:24No.
00:32:24No.
00:32:25No.
00:32:25No.
00:32:33No.
00:32:36After you left,
00:32:37Dad was never the same.
00:32:43When you left us,
00:32:48I lost you.
00:32:53I always thought,
00:32:54it would get better.
00:32:59But it didn't.
00:33:03I'm sorry.
00:33:04I feel like a nobody.
00:33:12I feel...
00:33:14I feel that everything in it.
00:33:16...
00:33:24ÅŸimdi...
00:33:24...
00:33:25...
00:33:26...
00:33:28allow me to...
00:33:30...
00:33:33Do you have food from your favorite place?
00:33:38Nope.
00:33:40You don't have to talk to me, but please eat something.
00:33:47Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:33:59I'm only going to ask you once, and I'll let you be.
00:34:03But are you okay?
00:34:05Do you want to talk about it?
00:34:08I'm managing.
00:34:10Food helped.
00:34:16You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:19So you don't feel vulnerable.
00:34:21We all have our moments.
00:34:23It's just...
00:34:25It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:29I get it.
00:34:31And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:34:33I've lost a loved one, too.
00:34:37Great.
00:34:38Do you have a dead girlfriend also?
00:34:40Dead girlfriend, wait.
00:34:42You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.
00:34:44So you knew.
00:34:45You knew all of a sudden.
00:34:47But you two are completely different.
00:34:52I didn't know I was a lover.
00:34:53It was my mother I lost.
00:34:57Ryan, I'm sorry.
00:35:01Ryan, I'm sorry.
00:35:02It's okay.
00:35:03This whole week.
00:35:06It's just like...
00:35:08Everything feels so pointless.
00:35:12That's a natural feeling to have.
00:35:14I used to mock existentialism.
00:35:17I get it now.
00:35:19I love how intelligent you sound.
00:35:22Even now.
00:35:23Stop.
00:35:25No, seriously.
00:35:27Modern day Socrates.
00:35:30Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:41Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:42For the food.
00:35:43And the talk.
00:35:45Less of the food.
00:35:46Still so addicted.
00:35:49But they definitely put drugs in it.
00:35:50Yeah.
00:35:51Hey.
00:35:52Hey, if you need anything, just call me.
00:35:56I will.
00:35:57I think I just need some time to think things over.
00:36:00Have you been through your next steps?
00:36:03Not sure.
00:36:04Quit my job.
00:36:05Settled the debts.
00:36:07Now the world's just kind of open to me.
00:36:09Strange.
00:36:10Yeah.
00:36:11Well, there's a spot for you at Novatec.
00:36:13You sure?
00:36:15About me meeting?
00:36:16I mean, who are the best ones to lead it?
00:36:18Come on, just give it a shot.
00:36:20I'll think about it.
00:36:21Seriously.
00:36:21That's all I can ask.
00:36:30Mabel?
00:36:32Are you doing okay?
00:36:35Why aren't 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 were worried?
00:36:48Save it.
00:36:49It's none of your business.
00:36:50Mabel, please.
00:36:51Let 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.
00:37:03I thought what we had was real.
00:37:07But I was just a pill for a wound that won't heal.
00:37:11I truly loved you.
00:37:18I loved you.
00:37:19Got him.
00:37:24Don't come looking for me again.
00:37:28Leave me alone.
00:37:29It's my final request.
00:37:31And this is the upstairs division.
00:37:42What do you think?
00:37:44Love it.
00:37:45It's so lively.
00:37:47That's the goal.
00:37:48Hey, I'm in.
00:37:49But I have one condition.
00:37:51I'd like to work from a different city.
00:37:54Why's that?
00:37:55Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.
00:37:57That's where you're headed, right?
00:37:59Someone's been doing her homework.
00:38:01And for a new market, it's important to have someone you trust by your side.
00:38:04I'm listening.
00:38:07Won't go all without a heap of what?
00:38:09E-mail?
00:38:11Tokyo it is there.
00:38:12Welcome to the table.
00:38:14What in honor, Captain?
00:38:15Let me show you around.
00:38:24Sir?
00:38:25You 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.
00:38:38Sir?
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 on the living room?
00:39:04What?
00:39:08What is happening here?
00:39:10We're just doing our job, sir.
00:39:11Please don't interrupt.
00:39:13Where are these going?
00:39:14They're going to the donation.
00:39:16They don't already left.
00:39:26Get out.
00:39:28Then, you left.
00:39:29You do not want to talk.
00:39:35You haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:39:38Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:39:41Just move on.
00:39:42Find something.
00:39:42Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:39:44She's clearly just a villain for Fiona.
00:39:46Nothing more than her look-alike.
00:39:48She's different.
00:39:49Funny.
00:39:50Professional.
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?
00:40:08Julie.
00:40:08When Fiona left, I was lost.
00:40:15I would never marry you having some fleeting feelings for her.
00:40:18That's not right for either one of us.
00:40:20No, no.
00:40:20You don't determine that.
00:40:22Jonathan, I have dreamed of our marriage since the day we met.
00:40:24I sacrificed so much for that dream.
00:40:27I lost everything.
00:40:27What do you mean by that?
00:40:31Nothing.
00:40:33Nothing.
00:40:34I just, I can't see the ceiling.
00:40:36What are you hiding?
00:40:36Nothing.
00:40:37I was just saying that-
00:40:39Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:40:40I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:40:42You're delusional.
00:40:43Did you?
00:40:47This is silly.
00:40:50Baby, we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?
00:40:53Just sleep this off, and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:41:10Hi, give me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.
00:41:13It's urgent.
00:41:18The hospital's footage was erased,
00:41:20but a doctor remembers a young woman
00:41:22claiming to be Mabel's friend.
00:41:24A young woman?
00:41:25Yes, sir.
00:41:26A detailed description matches Miss Miller.
00:41:32Julie.
00:41:33Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?
00:41:35No, don't bother.
00:41:36Any news on Mabel's location?
00:41:40She just purchased tickets for 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.
00:41:51No.
00:42:00Okay, pull over.
00:42:01Right here.
00:42:02Stop.
00:42:04Mabel!
00:42:05Are you insane?
00:42:06What the hell are you doing?
00:42:13Mabel, where are you?
00:42:14Don't go.
00:42:15Wait, Mabel, Mabel, where are you?
00:42:16Don't go.
00:42:16Don't go.
00:42:16Don't go.
00:42:20Come back.
00:42:21Wait, Mabel, Mabel, where are you?
00:42:22What?
00:42:30Did you know about Mabel's departure?
00:42:33I know she left with Ryan Anderson, the servant's son.
00:42:37It's a good match.
00:42:38You should be happy for her.
00:42:39Mabel, were you part of this?
00:42:43Jonathan, Mabel made her own choice.
00:42:46No one pushed her.
00:42:48She has her life.
00:42:49We have ours.
00:42:51They don't intersect.
00:42:54Remember, you have responsibilities.
00:42:55The wedding's next month.
00:42:57I won't marry Julie.
00:42:57I won't be a pawn in your plan.
00:43:02I love Mabel.
00:43:05She's the one I want.
00:43:06She is merely a stand-in for Fiona.
00:43:08I'm not!
00:43:12I know it's already too late, but my feelings for her are real.
00:43:18I'll wait for her.
00:43:20I'll wait as long as it takes, because this is my life!
00:43:25And I'll spend it with me.
00:43:27Mabel, turn it off.
00:43:49Mabel!
00:43:52Okay, you lazy bone.
00:43:54Come on.
00:43:55There's a meeting to attend to.
00:43:57I programmed you too well, didn't I?
00:44:00I learned it myself.
00:44:02Exactly.
00:44:02That's why I said I programmed you too well.
00:44:05Show off.
00:44:06The driver is ten minutes away.
00:44:22Got it.
00:44:23Put some clothes on.
00:44:26You can't see me, right?
00:44:30Don't need to.
00:44:32I know you too well.
00:44:34Thank you, Mark.
00:44:35Number.
00:44:35Heard that.
00:44:38Incoming call from Mrs. Whiteford.
00:44:42Put her through.
00:44:44Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent.
00:44:46Please come home.
00:44:47Your mother's condition is critical.
00:44:50What happened?
00:45:00She suffered a stroke last week.
00:45:03Mom.
00:45:04Mom.
00:45:06Should we have a red?
00:45:07She's all right 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.
00:45:22Hi.
00:45:22What 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.
00:45:33See me?
00:45:36I'm here.
00:45:39Mabel, this is my father here 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.
00:45:56Hey.
00:46:09When did you return?
00:46:11Mabel, we can leave with your...
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.
00:46:32Um, hey, 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.
00:46:40Actually, Jack, I was thinking you should come live in the city with us.
00:46:43Oh, I see you two.
00:46:45You live together, huh?
00:46:47It's not your business.
00:46:48Mabel, I just wanted to...
00:46:50I see you haven't changed.
00:46:54Sorry, Jack.
00:46:55I just remembered I have a phone call that I need to make.
00:47:00Mabel.
00:47:00We can talk about it, you know?
00:47:08About the product launch?
00:47:09My only concern is the interface.
00:47:11It's not user-friendly enough.
00:47:12Mabel.
00:47:13It'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 White for Tech is dominating the charts.
00:47:21We should look into that.
00:47:23Can I ask you something?
00:47:24If you're going to say something irritating, I'm not interested.
00:47:27Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:47:31No.
00:47:34He broke my heart once.
00:47:36I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:47:48This is Mabel.
00:47:49Head of Creatives.
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 insure it.
00:48:02Good morning.
00:48:03What are you doing here?
00:48:05Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:06Welcome.
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.
00:48:24I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.
00:48:29His insight is invaluable.
00:48:33You're right on the date of the seat.
00:48:33I love being part of the creative product.
00:48:36What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:39At the end of the day, our product is really exciting, and thank you all so much for spending
00:48:49your afternoon with us at Novatec.
00:48:50We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:48:56Well, this sounds like a game changer.
00:48:59Congratulations.
00:49:01Mr. Whiteford.
00:49:03See your thoughts.
00:49:03It'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.
00:49:18You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:49:24And it's a strong product, but not yet a market leader.
00:49:29But there's potential.
00:49:31Your money needs more clarity.
00:49:33Apparently, it's affecting your overall product.
00:49:35You need to improve the interactive system.
00:49:38It's far too average.
00:49:39And the interface needs to be more user-friendly than you notice.
00:49:43But overall, truly, truly, well done.
00:49:50Proud of you.
00:49:52Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.
00:49:55Sorry.
00:49:56I sometimes get carried away with talented teens.
00:50:03Well then, let's curl some numbers, shall we?
00:50:07What are we looking at about your lives?
00:50:09Hey, great job on today's pitch.
00:50:19It was a team effort.
00:50:20You still have some work to do, though?
00:50:21Looking forward to launching it.
00:50:24But then, it's non-stop.
00:50:25We're going to get some rest.
00:50:28Well, you still had time to find the handsome lawyer.
00:50:32Wait, you 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.
00:50:44But still hoping for a wedding.
00:50:48I'll see you tomorrow.
00:50:50Absolutely.
00:50:51And hey, if you knew anything, especially about Jonathan, just ask.
00:50:55But it's all behind me.
00:50:57Don't worry.
00:50:58You stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:51:19Just a coincidence, Miss Morris.
00:51:22See, um, I live here, too.
00:51:26Yeah, right.
00:51:30Hey!
00:51:30Hey!
00:51:30Can you give me some space?
00:51:47It's really nice, baby.
00:51:51When did you move here?
00:51:53Because I was under the impression that this space has one.
00:51:59It has two.
00:52:08Oh, what a coincidence.
00:52:11I live here, too.
00:52:13Guess what?
00:52:14My passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:16Is his passcode still Fiona?
00:52:18Why do you care?
00:52:28In the lights, 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?
00:52:40Good night, Mabel.
00:52:52Need a ride with S'mores?
00:52:55No, thank you.
00:52:56I prefer to walk.
00:52:57You kidding?
00:52:58It's about three.
00:52:59What?
00:53:10Is he dead?
00:53:13You seemed really occupied yesterday.
00:53:16The DL was a quiet ride.
00:53:20Now I have a tip for your product, if you're interested.
00:53:27Okay, fine.
00:53:28What do you think?
00:53:29The interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:53:31Uniform font size is causing confusion, but...
00:53:35A little variation can help.
00:53:36You're right.
00:53:37We wanted simplicity, but maybe too much, though.
00:53:43It's a good approach, but...
00:53:45You need to experiment a bit.
00:53:47You've always had a rule breaker, Mabel.
00:53:56Mr. Wester, is there a couple of your mother-in-law?
00:54:00Her condition worsened.
00:54:15We thought it would be best if you were here.
00:54:20Is there anything that could be done for her?
00:54:24We've done everything.
00:54:27Revitals are going quickly.
00:54:28I'm so sorry.
00:54:30I'm going to get some medicine.
00:54:32Okay?
00:54:37Mom.
00:54:38Hey.
00:54:39I'm right here.
00:54:42Jonathan.
00:54:44Anything?
00:54:45Is there anything we can get for you?
00:54:48I'm leaving you.
00:54:50No.
00:54:51No.
00:54:53You're fine.
00:54:54Okay, we're taking good care of you.
00:54:55My son.
00:54:56I'm truly sorry.
00:55:06Your best moment you've ever had.
00:55:10I want you to be happy.
00:55:15I am happy.
00:55:17I'm happy.
00:55:17After Fiona, I saw how you suffered.
00:55:27I regret so many.
00:55:29I overlooked things after Fiona's death.
00:55:37And you changed so much.
00:55:42What do you mean, Mom?
00:55:43Just promise me you'll be happy with Mabel or everyone else.
00:55:49That it's time you learned the truth about everything.
00:56:08Oh, my God.
00:56:09It's official.
00:56:10That's why she just died.
00:56:12Ruby?
00:56:13What happened?
00:56:14It was sudden.
00:56:16John Blackford confirmed it.
00:56:19Are you okay?
00:56:21Um.
00:56:23I have to-
00:56:24Go.
00:56:25Take the day off.
00:56:25Facial recognition successful.
00:56:48Welcome, Mabel.
00:56:50Facial recognition.
00:56:51Huh.
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.
00:57:29Don't you?
00:57:30I was concerned.
00:57:32But if you're fine, I should go.
00:57:34Please don't go.
00:57:36Please.
00:57:36Have you been drinking?
00:57:38Jonathan, this is so inappropriate.
00:57:40Mabel, Mabel, listen.
00:57:41Listening.
00:57:43Mabel signing in.
00:57:44How can I help, Jonathan?
00:57:47What is that?
00:57:55Hello, Miss Morris.
00:57:56I'm Mabel.
00:57:58An AI modeled after you.
00:58:00Mabel!
00:58:00Mabel, stop!
00:58:03Wait.
00:58:04Wait.
00:58:09I'm sorry.
00:58:11I'm sorry.
00:58:12This was my way of coping with your absence.
00:58:15It was never meant to be discovered like this.
00:58:16This is too much.
00:58:26This isn't just obsession.
00:58:28This is unhealthy.
00:58:28I know.
00:58:29It's wrong.
00:58:33Please.
00:58:34I'll never bother you again.
00:58:35Just give me some time and I'll go.
00:58:37I swear.
00:58:39Are you okay, Jonathan?
00:58:41Yes.
00:58:44Yes.
00:58:45Yes.
00:59:02You were right about the rain.
00:59:03Outstanding, Mabel.
00:59:24This product will be a hit.
00:59:26You know Mr. Whiteford today?
00:59:32Yes.
00:59:33He 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?
00:59:43Morning.
00:59:44I'm here to announce the passing of my mother, Barbara Whiteford, due to a severe stroke.
00:59:55It's a challenging 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
01:00:06of our family.
01:00:08Years ago, Fiona Miller, my then-girlfriend and I developed a system named after her that laid
01:00:14the foundation for Whiteford Tech.
01:00:17Her untimely death, I've recently learned, was orchestrated by her sister, Julie Miller,
01:00:24with my mother's knowledge.
01:00:25Moreover, 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.
01:00:39However, I'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
01:00:57available 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.
01:01:09Led by Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morse.
01:01:12This leadership and vision I trust.
01:01:16This will be my last public appearance.
01:01:18All my shares in Whiteford Tech will be transferred to Mabel Morse.
01:01:23The future is in her hands.
01:01:32So that's it.
01:01:34We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.
01:01:39Hey, Jonathan.
01:01:59What's up?
01:02:01Hey, why did you leave the company and all your shares?
01:02:08What the...
01:02:09Facial recognition successful.
01:02:15Welcome, Mabel.
01:02:16Where is Jonathan?
01:02:30He has moved away.
01:02:33He is, I quote, giving you space.
01:02:38Where?
01:02:38I'm afraid I don't know.
01:02:45He really left everything behind.
01:02:49He said it would be for the best.
01:02:51He's right.
01:03:08Maybe it is for the best.
01:03:09I found the programmer that you've been looking for.
01:03:20Here's everything on him.
01:03:22The best we could dig up.
01:03:24Hey, you need to learn to take some more breaks.
01:03:28Set him the bar way too high for the rest of us.
01:03:30Hmm.
01:03:31I'll slow down once we've got more skilled people
01:03:37like this one working for us.
01:03:49Hey, put some roots here.
01:03:58Facial recognition successful.
01:04:01Welcome, Mabel.
01:04:13Nice work, Jonathan.
01:04:15Mabel.
01:04:16Hi.
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.
01:04:30Sorry.
01:04:31I, uh...
01:04:32I got bored.
01:04:34I wanted something to do.
01:04:36The coding gave you away.
01:04:38It felt familiar.
01:04:39Like you.
01:04:41The way the numbers and the figures went together,
01:04:43I don't know, it kind of felt romantic.
01:04:47Why did you leave everything behind?
01:04:50Don't you miss it?
01:04:51I wanted to...
01:04:52I wanted to fix my mistakes.
01:04:57To help you.
01:04:59I want you to be happy, Mabel.
01:05:01You 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...
01:05:11I needed to distance myself from you.
01:05:13It was the only way I knew how to forgive you.
01:05:16You succeeded.
01:05:17I did.
01:05:20And good.
01:05:27Oh, wait.
01:05:28At Novatec, we offer competitive pay and flexible schedules with remote opportunities and free meals.
01:05:39Sounds good.
01:05:42There's more.
01:05:44We have benefits, like...
01:05:46Penny leave and child care support.
01:05:50And fun company events.
01:05:52So, Jonathan Whiteford, how would you feel about joining Novatec?
01:05:59As 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.
01:06:19So, if you happen to like someone at work, it's cool.
01:06:26That's good for that.
