00:00:00This is Amber Wilson from KKR News.
00:00:11Mr. Whiteford, your meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:00:16You smoking cigarettes?
00:00:20It's an important meeting. We need to get ready.
00:00:24You can be a little soft in the morning.
00:00:26A little like some buzzkill.
00:00:30Good morning to you, too.
00:00:35I have never had Mediterranean food before.
00:00:37So he immediately takes me to this restaurant on 45th.
00:00:41Hey, Jonathan, he's quite the romantic.
00:00:45Oh, Mabel, right?
00:00:49Sorry, I didn't mean to take your seat. Come join us.
00:00:51We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:00:55Oh, Mabel would know. She schedules everything.
00:00:57Oh, right. His personal assistant.
00:01:03It's nice to meet you.
00:01:04I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiance.
00:01:07Nice to meet you, Miss Miller.
00:01:10Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal.
00:01:14Take this as...
00:01:15I've read so many wonderful things about you, Mabel.
00:01:21Julie.
00:01:23What are you doing here?
00:01:24What are you doing here?
00:01:27It's just a surprise visit for my lovely fiancée.
00:01:40Julie, I thought we discussed about keeping boundaries.
00:01:43In front of everyone, play the part, Jonathan.
00:01:46We're engaged, remember?
00:01:49Mabel, are you ready for the meeting?
00:01:50Yes, everything's prepared.
00:01:53Good, I want you to take the lead this time.
00:01:55Lead the meeting?
00:01:56Yes, you've earned it.
00:01:58Pail up for it?
00:02:00Absolutely.
00:02:03Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.
00:02:05I need formalities. Come on, let's go.
00:02:07We're going to be late.
00:02:11Always work first with him, huh?
00:02:13Oh, wow, congratulations on nailing the pitch, Mabel.
00:02:33Well, I learned from the best.
00:02:43Mabel, is he as usual?
00:02:54Mom!
00:02:56I thought we agreed on calling first.
00:02:58Since when do I need permission to see my son, hmm?
00:03:02What's the matter?
00:03:03We are hosting a joint family dinner with the Millers.
00:03:08You and Julie are expected to be there.
00:03:10We agreed to delay the engagement.
00:03:11This is not up for debate.
00:03:13You will attend the family dinner.
00:03:20And you should join as well, Mabel.
00:03:40A toast.
00:03:41To the union.
00:03:46Mabel, can you pour me some wine?
00:03:49Mabel's a guest.
00:03:50Of course.
00:03:51Is she there?
00:03:53Soon to be Mrs. Whiteford.
00:03:56Dad, I'm still your daughter.
00:03:58We are so excited to welcome you into our family.
00:04:01This is the first joyful dinner we've had since Fiona with Jonathan and Julie together.
00:04:16It almost feels like Fiona is with us here again.
00:04:23Mom.
00:04:25We are so looking forward to this marriage.
00:04:28Yeah.
00:04:31I'm full.
00:04:33Please enjoy.
00:04:34You're okay?
00:04:51You're okay?
00:04:53Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:04:55I thought you were someone else.
00:04:56Who are you looking for?
00:04:59Jonathan Whiteford.
00:05:01The owner of the mansion.
00:05:03You, uh, must be his girlfriend.
00:05:05No, just his assistant.
00:05:07I see.
00:05:08I'm Ryan.
00:05:09My father is the gardener here.
00:05:11I know the house really well.
00:05:13I actually made you able to help you.
00:05:15Jonathan has a few favorite spots around here.
00:05:17Though he doesn't visit much nowadays, he does have quite a few properties.
00:05:22Yes, he prefers to live alone.
00:05:24Is that so?
00:05:26Oh, good.
00:05:26You've met.
00:05:28I was thinking of setting you two up on a date.
00:05:32You make a cute couple.
00:05:42Petit?
00:05:43Yes, Mabel?
00:05:44Well, Ryan's a fine young man, and you're a diligent worker.
00:05:49You make a good bet.
00:05:51Well, it's a kind offer, but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.
00:05:57Go with fights.
00:05:58None take them.
00:05:59Anyway, I should go find Jonathan.
00:06:01He has a very early meeting.
00:06:05Mabel, you're a smart girl.
00:06:09I know how busy you've been serving my son.
00:06:12What fun you've had.
00:06:14I don't understand.
00:06:16Let me clarify.
00:06:17You're barely a side dish.
00:06:19Now the main course is served.
00:06:23Stay away from my son.
00:06:26Or lose your position at the company and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:30Have I made myself clear?
00:06:31Now, about you and Ryan.
00:06:39You're quite the pair.
00:06:40I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:06:42I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:07:00Morning.
00:07:01The files are ready for you to sign.
00:07:05Were you okay last night?
00:07:13What's on my schedule for today?
00:07:18One meeting in the morning, two in the afternoon.
00:07:21And Julie wants a dinner date.
00:07:23I set up calendar alerts.
00:07:40You're wearing a new perfume today.
00:07:43Five nights later?
00:07:44Yes.
00:07:46Miss Whiteford set me up for a date.
00:07:49It's after work.
00:07:50A date?
00:07:53Are you joking?
00:07:54You're not the only one inclined for a bit of romance.
00:07:58Jonathan.
00:07:58Before we start, you should know that I am a messy eater.
00:08:14And I hate cats.
00:08:16I'm also indifferent to humanity and climate change.
00:08:21We can just agree that this wasn't a match.
00:08:23And that's your strategy for tonight?
00:08:26Tell me more about yourself.
00:08:27What do you want to know?
00:08:29Family?
00:08:30My mom died, and my father is a gambler.
00:08:33You'd inherit his debts at the altar.
00:08:36Delightful company you are.
00:08:38I mean, walk you like a fly.
00:08:39Who knows?
00:08:40I might even become an abuser.
00:08:42An abuser?
00:08:44Do you use ropes?
00:08:46What?
00:08:47You see, I enjoy being tied up, so I'm rather intrigued.
00:08:54Weirdo.
00:08:55Says Miss Monster Day.
00:08:56Me, Paul.
00:09:07You're Jack's son.
00:09:09He was such a talented gardener.
00:09:12A favorite servant of mine growing up.
00:09:15If you don't mind, we're on a date.
00:09:17Oh, and having fun, I see.
00:09:18We would be, without any interruptions.
00:09:33I'm on my way.
00:09:35Okay.
00:09:36Sorry.
00:09:38I have to go.
00:09:40Me, Paul.
00:09:40Yeah, I am here for my father, Mr. Morris.
00:09:48What happened?
00:09:49He's stable now.
00:09:51The predators got rough with him.
00:09:53Broke a couple ribs, but he's breathing.
00:09:56How do I pay for the bills?
00:09:59They've been paid for.
00:10:01By whom?
00:10:02Ryan, what are you doing here?
00:10:09Finish the date.
00:10:10I'm starving.
00:10:13Very expensive date.
00:10:16Payback.
00:10:17Later.
00:10:18For now, let's get something to eat.
00:10:19So, you grew up in the White Free Mansion?
00:10:33Yeah, I did.
00:10:34I helped my dad with the gardens, and we planted exotic flowers from around the world.
00:10:40Paradise for plant yeaks, for sure.
00:10:42I'm super nerdy.
00:10:43You were serious about your father's debts, right here?
00:10:52He was a gambler, and he's changed, but it still haunts us.
00:10:58I just hope to one day settle the debts.
00:11:01You are not the terrible person you made yourself out to be.
00:11:04You've known me for one day.
00:11:06Hold your conclusion, Sherlock.
00:11:10Well, this is Lulph.
00:11:13Um, good night, nerds.
00:11:16Good night, monster date.
00:11:26It's late.
00:11:29Where you been?
00:11:35Were you out with them all night?
00:11:38It's my personal time.
00:11:40I don't have to report everything to you.
00:11:42So, it went well, then.
00:11:43Your mother set us up, Jonathan.
00:11:45How could I refuse?
00:11:47Good.
00:11:48So, then, it was all just for shell.
00:11:50Well, I actually had a really nice time.
00:11:51I might consider a second date.
00:11:54I can still smell Julie's perfume.
00:11:56Then come shower it off me.
00:12:00You went on a date with another man.
00:12:02You took another woman to a restaurant that I recommended.
00:12:04Jealous?
00:12:04Not as much as you.
00:12:07Not as much as you.
00:12:07Not as much as you.
00:12:07What is it?
00:12:08Not as much as you have all this lined up.
00:12:09Yeah.
00:12:10It's ready.
00:12:10No, I'll do it for you.
00:12:11That's all.
00:12:11You took your grades, honey.
00:12:12I was just going on this line before you know.
00:12:13And then, by the way, I go, what Iести you on right now.
00:12:14I'll be like,idas.
00:12:14I'll be like, guys.
00:12:14And now, I'm already done now.
00:12:16It's old if a little woman was sent to go on this line.
00:12:24I know.
00:12:25I know.
00:12:26I'm...

00:16:28you
00:16:30you
00:16:32yeah
00:16:33well let's just say our first date was rather chaotic
00:16:36so i wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you
00:16:39i'm ryan anderson i'm the founder of nova tech
00:16:43and i would like for you to join us head of the creative strategies
00:16:47no
00:16:48no
00:16:49no
00:16:50no
00:16:54no
00:16:55tech
00:16:56but i thought you said you were the gardener's son
00:16:58yes i still am but i'm not defined by what my father does
00:17:03even if Barbara thinks so. After years of education and a lot of hard work,
00:17:09I find myself at MIT and started my own company. It's good to own something of your own, right?
00:17:16That's incredible, Ryan. And I'm grateful for the opportunity, but I already have a job
00:17:21and I'm just an assistant, so I'm sure there are other people much more qualified than me out there.
00:17:27You're not just anyone. You're the key success to the wifers project.
00:17:32It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.
00:17:36So, cheers to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:17:40Miss Whitebird, um, Jonathan's left. I'm here to see you. How was everything with Ryan?
00:18:04It was pleasant. Thank you for the introduction. When do you plan to marry him? We've only just met.
00:18:14I've warned you. No marriage. No job at Whiteford Tech. And you will be banned from the industry.
00:18:25I've ended things with Jonathan. Then marry Ryan to prove it.
00:18:28I've done my research as well, Mabel. Leave my son and I'll clear all your father's debts.
00:18:40If not, those seeking him will find him.
00:18:45Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance, not me.
00:18:49I don't think you understand the situation. You are nothing to Jonathan. At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:19:00A reminder of a heartbreak. What do you mean? You don't know, do you?
00:19:05I don't know, do you?
00:19:09Mary Ryan, it's my last warning.
00:19:30Did I miss a meeting?
00:19:31Uh, no, I just, your driver couldn't get a hold of you. He was concerned.
00:19:40Mr. Whiteford, it's October 5th.
00:19:42Shit, shit.
00:19:43You never, always took the day off.
00:19:46It's okay. The car's out front.
00:19:48No, no, it's not okay. I never forget.
00:19:53Clear everything for today. Okay.
00:19:55I've kept your calendar clear, as always.
00:19:57Okay, thank you.
00:19:59Um, the car, Mr. Whiteford.
00:20:01Right. I'll, uh, see you.
00:20:03At the office?
00:20:03Right.
00:20:10Hello?
00:20:10Mabel, where are you? Our server is down!
00:20:13Oh, uh, okay, I'm on my way.
00:20:15The entire server crashed! Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:24Hey, what happened?
00:20:25We are under attack. We need a system reboot. Where is Mr. Whiteford? We need his admin code. Now!
00:20:30Uh, okay, he's out of the office. Um, let me just try contacting him, okay?
00:20:33We need that code. Do you have access to it?
00:20:39No, that code is highly confidential. Jonathan is the sole owner. Um, let me try.
00:20:53We're completely offline. Come on, Mabel. You know you're the best.
00:20:56It won't. Try Fiona. F-I-O-N-A. Fiona, give it a shot.
00:21:11Fiona, give it a shot.
00:21:13Remember that awkward dinner at the Whiteford's?
00:21:20It says, Fiona, you are nothing to John Penn. At most, a shadow of his past pain. A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:21:31Hello, Jonathan. Good to see you. How may I help you?
00:21:48Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?
00:21:51Oh, no. That's not Mabel.
00:21:55That's my sister, Fiona. Jonathan's first love.
00:22:01Uh, next, Mabel Morris?
00:22:30Hello.
00:22:31You know, coding demands intense focus and absolute silence.
00:22:42That's why having a capable assistant to help with other things like interviews is crucial.
00:22:49I'm Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford.
00:22:58Shona.
00:22:59Um, I'm Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford.
00:23:03Here's my resume.
00:23:07Mabel.
00:23:07Nice to meet you.
00:23:22When can you start?
00:23:25Tomorrow.
00:23:27No, actually, today.
00:23:28Welcome to Whiteford Tech.
00:23:30Welcome to Whiteford Tech.
00:23:32Mabel.
00:23:34Mabel.
00:23:36Mabel.
00:23:36Mabel.
00:23:45Are you all right?
00:23:47I know.
00:23:48Shocking, isn't it?
00:23:49You know, when they mentioned you years ago, I was concerned.
00:23:53I thought you had actually fallen for someone.
00:23:56But then I saw you, and I knew there was nothing to worry about.
00:24:01To Jonathan, you're just a reminder of my sister.
00:24:05My sister.
00:24:06He doesn't love you.
00:24:07You're nothing but a shadow to him.
00:24:09You are, at best, a placebo.
00:24:15Oh, Mabel.
00:24:17Did you actually think you stood a chance?
00:24:19Oh, do you know about today?
00:24:32I don't want to know.
00:24:33Fiona died today, seven years ago.
00:24:36He visits her grave on this day, every year.
00:24:42You see?
00:24:44You're just a joke.
00:24:49Hey, Mabel.
00:25:10What's wrong?
00:25:10There was an attack on the system at work today.
00:25:19Okay.
00:25:20Well, since you're here and not at the office, I assume it's resolved.
00:25:26Your mascot.
00:25:28What is it?
00:25:31What?
00:25:32The code, Jonathan, what is it?
00:25:33That's none of your business.
00:25:34Come on.
00:25:39Tell me about this attack.
00:25:46So, it's been fixed?
00:25:50We had to restart the system.
00:25:53System reboot.
00:25:54I see.
00:25:55It asked for an admin code.
00:25:57Why didn't you call me?
00:25:59I tried to, but it didn't go through.
00:26:00The signal down there?
00:26:04We got the code.
00:26:07You did?
00:26:09How?
00:26:10Luckily, Julie was there.
00:26:18So you've seen?
00:26:19Fiona?
00:26:20Yeah.
00:26:30Fiona?
00:26:34Yeah.
00:26:36Mabel, I know you have a lot of questions.
00:26:40Actually, I found a lot of answers today.
00:26:47I thought I was lucky.
00:26:48To have that job.
00:26:54To work at the company.
00:26:55To be by your side.
00:26:59To enter a relationship with you or whatever that was.
00:27:06Turns out, I was just a replacement.
00:27:10A replacement for some sick, twisted obsession that you can't get over.
00:27:14I'm shadowing for a dead girlfriend.
00:27:19All those years.
00:27:21What are you getting?
00:27:25You're fucking a ghost.
00:27:26Enough!
00:27:28Don't speak.
00:27:30Don't use that term.
00:27:31Dead ghost.
00:27:33So.
00:27:34That's the reality of it, Jonathan.
00:27:36She is both.
00:27:44I'm Mabel Morris.
00:27:47I'm not...
00:27:49I'm not your dead girlfriend.
00:27:51I'm not Fiona.
00:27:52You're right.
00:28:01You're not her.
00:28:04Nobody is.
00:28:05I've submitted my resignation.
00:28:19Thank you for the opportunity.
00:28:22Years ago, I learned a lot.
00:28:23Bye, Mr. Waitford.
00:28:25Bye.
00:28:26Bye, Mr. Waitford.
00:28:39Bye!
00:28:48Come on.
00:28:49Come on.
00:28:49Come on.
00:28:49Come on.
00:28:49Come on.
00:28:49Come on.
00:28:51Come on.
00:28:53You said you were a friend of Mr. Morris's?
00:28:57A friend of his daughter, Mabel, actually.
00:28:59Ah, yes.
00:29:00Mabel.
00:29:01She's quite sweet and caring.
00:29:03Absolutely.
00:29:04She asked me to come check on Scott.
00:29:06How's this condition?
00:29:08He's well.
00:29:11With a little rest, he should recover fully.
00:29:14That's good news.
00:29:23He's at Silver Pine Hospital.
00:29:28Tell his creditors.
00:29:30I knew you had a name.
00:29:33Oh, Mrs. Waitford, I was just...
00:29:35Spare me the excuses, Julie.
00:29:37I've seen what you're capable of.
00:29:41I've seen what you're capable of.
00:29:42Years ago.
00:29:52That Mrs. Waitford, there's been a misunderstanding.
00:29:55Oh, and not Julie, cut it.
00:29:59Fiona was sweet.
00:30:02But too naive for our world.
00:30:04Our innocence was a liability.
00:30:06I tried separating Jonathan and Fiona for years.
00:30:11But Jonathan was so invested.
00:30:12Even ignoring this family to pursue his little tech project.
00:30:17All encouraged by Fiona.
00:30:19Luckily, his project succeeded.
00:30:22But not without him taking down his father's legacy first.
00:30:26We could have been so much more influential, so powerful.
00:30:33But just when I thought all was lost,
00:30:36Fiona was out of the picture.
00:30:39Her death was no coincidence, Julie.
00:30:42God plays no favors.
00:30:44I see your hand in a car accident.
00:30:49How long have you known?
00:30:53I've known from the start.
00:30:59What happened?
00:31:00Oh, he's...
00:31:02His dead light just caught up to him.
00:31:04Oh, you okay?
00:31:06Prepare for the worst.
00:31:07He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:08He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:09He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:10He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:10What do you think?
00:31:11Someone must have tipped him off.
00:31:12We're investigating.
00:31:13We'll do our best to locate his attackers.
00:31:16I've warned you.
00:31:17He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:18He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:18He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:22It's Barbara Whiteford.
00:31:23The Barbara Whiteford, Queen of Manhattan?
00:31:26She's after my father.
00:31:28That's a serious accusation, ma'am.
00:31:30It's respectfully.
00:31:31Your father's not significant enough part of the way.
00:31:33You don't understand.
00:31:35I got too close to her son and she told me...
00:31:37Please calm down.
00:31:38No, you don't understand.
00:31:39Please, please, Miss Morris.
00:31:42Unfortunately, we couldn't save your father.
00:31:45He passed away.
00:31:46No.
00:31:48No.
00:31:50No.
00:31:51No.
00:31:54You're left a day.
00:31:55What? No.
00:31:56No.
00:31:57No.
00:31:58You don't understand.
00:32:00No.
00:32:01You're right.
00:32:02No.
00:32:03No.
00:32:04No.
00:32:05No.
00:32:06No.
00:32:07No.
00:32:08No.
00:32:09No.
00:32:10No.
00:32:11No.
00:32:12No.
00:32:13No.
00:32:14No.
00:32:15No.
00:32:16No.
00:32:17No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:19No.
00:32:20No.
00:32:21No.
00:32:22No.
00:32:23No.
00:32:24No.
00:32:25No.
00:32:26No.
00:32:27No.
00:32:28No.
00:32:29No.
00:32:30No.
00:32:31No.
00:32:32No.
00:32:33No.
00:32:34No.
00:32:35No.
00:32:36No.
00:32:37No.
00:32:38No.
00:32:39No.
00:32:40No.
00:32:41No.
00:32:42No.
00:32:43No.
00:32:44No.
00:32:45I'm sorry.
00:32:49I didn't feel like a nobody.
00:32:57I failed.
00:32:59I failed on everything.
00:33:09Leave me alone.
00:33:15Do you have food from your favorite place?
00:33:23Nope.
00:33:25You don't have to talk to me, but please eat something.
00:33:32Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:33:34I'm only going to ask you once, and I'll leave you be.
00:33:48But are you okay?
00:33:50Do you want to talk about it?
00:33:53I'm managing.
00:33:55Food helped.
00:33:56You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:04So good if you're vulnerable.
00:34:06We all have our moments.
00:34:08It's just...
00:34:10It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:14I get it.
00:34:16And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:34:20I've lost a loved one, too.
00:34:22Wait.
00:34:23Do you have a dead girlfriend also?
00:34:24A dead girlfriend, wait.
00:34:27You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.
00:34:29So you knew.
00:34:31You knew all of a sudden.
00:34:32But you two are completely different.
00:34:37I didn't know I was a lover.
00:34:41It was my mother I lost.
00:34:45I love you, okay?
00:34:47It's okay.
00:34:48This whole week.
00:34:51It's just like...
00:34:53Everything feels so pointless.
00:34:57That's a natural feeling to have.
00:34:59I used to mock existentialism.
00:35:02I get it now.
00:35:04I love how intelligent you sound.
00:35:07Even now.
00:35:08I just felt.
00:35:10No, seriously.
00:35:12Modern day Socrates.
00:35:13Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:26Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:27For the food.
00:35:29And the talk.
00:35:30Less of the food.
00:35:32Still so addictive.
00:35:34But they don't want to put drugs in it.
00:35:35Yeah.
00:35:36Hey.
00:35:36Hey, if you need anything, just call me.
00:35:41I won't.
00:35:42I think I just need some time to think things over.
00:35:45Have you considered your act steps?
00:35:48Not sure.
00:35:50Quit my job.
00:35:50Settled the debts.
00:35:51Now the world's just kind of open to me.
00:35:54Strange.
00:35:55Yeah.
00:35:56Well, there's a spot for you at Novatec.
00:35:59Sure?
00:36:00About me leading?
00:36:01You're the best one to lead it.
00:36:02Come on, just give it a shot.
00:36:05I'll think about it.
00:36:06Seriously.
00:36:06That's all I can ask.
00:36:15Mabel?
00:36:17Are you doing okay?
00:36:20Why aren't you here?
00:36:23Mabel?
00:36:25Are you doing okay?
00:36:27Why are you here?
00:36:29I saw what happened on the news.
00:36:31You're worried?
00:36:32Save it.
00:36:34It's none of your business.
00:36:35Mabel, please, let me just...
00:36:37I'm done.
00:36:39Listening, Jonathan.
00:36:41I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.
00:36:47And now I finally know the truth.
00:36:50I thought what we had was real.
00:36:53But I was just a pill for a wound that won't heal.
00:36:56I truly loved you.
00:37:03I loved you.
00:37:04Taught him.
00:37:09Don't come looking for me again.
00:37:13Leave me alone.
00:37:15It's my final request.
00:37:16And this is the upstairs division.
00:37:27What do you think?
00:37:29I love it.
00:37:30It's so lively.
00:37:32That's the goal.
00:37:33Hey, I'm in.
00:37:34But I have one condition.
00:37:35I'd like to work from a different city.
00:37:39Why is that?
00:37:40Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.
00:37:42That's where you're headed, right?
00:37:44Someone's been doing her homework.
00:37:46And for a new market, it's important to have someone you trust by your side.
00:37:50I'm listening.
00:37:51Welcome to the table.
00:37:59What an honor, Captain.
00:38:00Let me show you around.
00:38:09Sir?
00:38:10You have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes?
00:38:14Right.
00:38:16Bring me their pitch deck and latest progress report.
00:38:18And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion.
00:38:23Sir?
00:38:24Mabel doesn't work here anymore.
00:38:26I can get someone else to help with her.
00:38:36She can't be replaced.
00:38:40There's no one like her.
00:38:46Why don't you start in the living room?
00:38:48What?
00:38:53What is happening here?
00:38:55We're just doing our job, sir.
00:38:56Please don't interrupt.
00:38:58Where are these going?
00:39:00They're going to the donation.
00:39:01They aren't already left.
00:39:11Get out.
00:39:12Ben, you left.
00:39:14You do not want to talk.
00:39:21You haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:39:23Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:39:26Just move on.
00:39:27Find something.
00:39:27Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:39:29She's clearly just a villain for Fiona.
00:39:31Nothing more than her look-alike.
00:39:33She's different.
00:39:34Funny.
00:39:35Professional.
00:39:36She makes me feel good about myself.
00:39:38She's...
00:39:38She's Mabel.
00:39:40And I actually like her for who she is.
00:39:42What about our engagement?
00:39:53Julie.
00:39:56When Fiona left, I was lost.
00:39:59I would never marry you having some fleeting feelings for her.
00:40:03That's not right for either one of us.
00:40:05No, no.
00:40:05You don't determine that.
00:40:07Jonathan, I have dreamed of our marriage since the day we met.
00:40:10I sacrificed so much for that dream.
00:40:12I lost everything.
00:40:15What do you mean by that?
00:40:16Nothing.
00:40:18Nothing.
00:40:19I just...
00:40:19I can't see the ceiling.
00:40:20What are you hiding?
00:40:21Nothing.
00:40:22I was just saying that...
00:40:24Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:40:25I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:40:27You're deluding me.
00:40:28Did you?
00:40:32Yeah.
00:40:33This is silly.
00:40:35Baby, we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?
00:40:42Just sleep this off and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:40:55Hi.
00:40:55Give me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.
00:40:58It's urgent.
00:41:03The hospital's footage was erased, but a doctor remembers a young woman claiming to be Mabel's friend.
00:41:09A young woman?
00:41:10Yes, sir.
00:41:12A detailed description matches Miss Miller.
00:41:17Julie.
00:41:17Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?
00:41:20No, don't bother.
00:41:21Any news on Mabel's location?
00:41:26She just purchased tickets for many destinations.
00:41:30Where is she currently?
00:41:32Last known location.
00:41:34She's in a cab to JFK Airport.
00:41:36Get the car ready.
00:41:36Now.
00:41:36Now.
00:41:36I'm going to pull over.
00:41:46Right here.
00:41:47Stop.
00:41:49Mabel!
00:41:50Are you insane?
00:41:51What the hell are you doing?
00:41:58Mabel, where are you?
00:41:59Wait, Mabel, Mabel, what?
00:42:15Did you know about Mabel's departure?
00:42:18I know she left with Ryan Anderson, the servant's son.
00:42:22It's a good match.
00:42:23You should be happy for her.
00:42:24Were you part of this?
00:42:28Chilinathan.
00:42:30Mabel made her own choice.
00:42:31No one pushed her.
00:42:33She has her life.
00:42:34We have ours.
00:42:36They don't intersect.
00:42:39Remember, you have responsibilities.
00:42:40The wedding's next month.
00:42:42I won't marry Julie.
00:42:44I won't be a pawn in your plan.
00:42:47I love Mabel.
00:42:50She's the one I want.
00:42:51She is merely a stand-in for Fiona.
00:42:53I'm not.
00:42:57I know it's already too late.
00:42:59But my feelings for her are real.
00:43:03I'll wait for her.
00:43:05I'll wait as long as it takes.
00:43:06Because this is my life.
00:43:10And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:43:11Mabel, turn it off.
00:43:34Mabel!
00:43:35Okay, you lazy bone.
00:43:39Come on.
00:43:40There's a meeting to attend to.
00:43:43Programmed you too well, haven't I?
00:43:45I learned it myself.
00:43:47Exactly.
00:43:48That's why I said I programmed you too well.
00:43:49Show off.
00:44:04The driver is ten minutes away.
00:44:07Got it.
00:44:08Put some clothes on.
00:44:13You can't see me, right?
00:44:15Don't need to.
00:44:17I know you too well.
00:44:19Thank you, Mark.
00:44:20Number.
00:44:20Heard that.
00:44:23Incoming call from Mrs. Whiteford.
00:44:27Put it through.
00:44:28Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent.
00:44:31Please come home.
00:44:32Your mother's condition is critical.
00:44:44What happened?
00:44:45She suffered a stroke last night.
00:44:48Mom.
00:44:49Mom.
00:44:51She'll recover, right?
00:44:52She's all right for now.
00:44:54But she might not speak again.
00:44:56What?
00:44:58A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford.
00:45:00She's lucky she's even breathing.
00:45:04Sweet.
00:45:07Hi.
00:45:10What can I do to help?
00:45:12You can keep her calm.
00:45:14She's a fighter.
00:45:15She might be able to pull through.
00:45:18See me?
00:45:21I'm here.
00:45:24Mabel, this is my father here.
00:45:26I've been telling you about.
00:45:27Mabel, it's such a pleasure.
00:45:29Ryan's told me so much about you.
00:45:31Likewise.
00:45:32He's going on about those unique seeds that you've been planting.
00:45:37He's kind of nerdy sometimes.
00:45:39Oh, so nerdy.
00:45:40Mabel.
00:45:40Mabel, we can leave this year.
00:45:57No need.
00:45:59We're just heading.
00:46:01Jonathan, it's nice to see you.
00:46:03I was just looking for you.
00:46:05You deliberately ignored my request.
00:46:07I asked to be left alone.
00:46:09Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.
00:46:10Everything was sorted.
00:46:12It's all behind us.
00:46:17Um, hey, Jonathan.
00:46:19They're just here to visit an old band.
00:46:21Isn't that okay?
00:46:22Dad, this is your home as well.
00:46:24We don't need his approval.
00:46:25Actually, Jack, I was thinking you should come live in the city with us.
00:46:28I see you two.
00:46:30You live together, huh?
00:46:32It's none of your business.
00:46:33Mabel, I just wanted to...
00:46:35I see you haven't changed.
00:46:39Sorry, Jack.
00:46:40I just remembered I have a phone call that I need to make.
00:46:45Mabel.
00:46:45We can talk about it, you know.
00:46:53About the product launch?
00:46:54My only concern is the interface.
00:46:56It's not user-friendly enough.
00:46:57Mabel.
00:46:58It's okay to be upset with Jonathan.
00:47:00No need to hide it.
00:47:01He's just a competitor now.
00:47:03Speaking of which, the new app at White for Tech is dominating the charts.
00:47:06We should look into that.
00:47:08Can I ask you something?
00:47:09If you're going to say something irritating, I'm not interested.
00:47:12Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:47:16No.
00:47:19He broke my heart once.
00:47:21I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:47:33This is Mabel.
00:47:34Head of Creators.
00:47:36Nice to meet the team.
00:47:37We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.
00:47:39Your products are so exciting.
00:47:43We always try our very best, I'm sure.
00:47:46Good morning.
00:47:48What are you doing here?
00:47:50Mr. Whitebird.
00:47:51Welcome.
00:47:53Mr. Whitebird's our angel investor.
00:47:56He's shown great interest in this product and requested to join us at this meeting.
00:48:01I hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.
00:48:04Considering the product is still under testing, we typically limit our attendance.
00:48:08He's welcome to join.
00:48:09I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whitebird's thoughts.
00:48:14His insight is invaluable.
00:48:18You want to take a seat?
00:48:18I love being part of the creative process.
00:48:21What an honor, Mr. Whitebird.
00:48:24At the end of the day, our product is really exciting, and thank you all so much for spending
00:48:34your afternoon with us at Novatec.
00:48:35We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:48:38Well, this sounds like a game-changer.
00:48:44Congratulations, Mr. Whitebird.
00:48:46A few thoughts.
00:48:51It's good.
00:48:53Surely, as a leader in this industry, you have more to offer than good.
00:48:58I don't think it's my place to say more.
00:49:00If we always play it safe, we'll never achieve perfection.
00:49:03You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:49:09And it's a strong product, but not yet a market leader.
00:49:14But there's potential.
00:49:16Your money needs more clarity.
00:49:18Apparently, it's affecting your overall product.
00:49:21You need to improve the interactive system.
00:49:23It's far too average.
00:49:24And the interface needs to be more user-friendly than you know this.
00:49:28But overall, truly, truly, well done.
00:49:35Proud of you.
00:49:37Professional boundaries, Mr. Whitebird.
00:49:40Sorry.
00:49:41I sometimes get carried away with talent for teens.
00:49:48Well then, let's grow some numbers, shall we?
00:49:52What are we looking at budget-wise?
00:49:54Hey, great job on today's pitch.
00:50:04It was a team effort.
00:50:05You still have some work to do, though?
00:50:06Looking forward to launching it.
00:50:09But then, it's non-stop.
00:50:10We're gonna get some rest.
00:50:13Well, you still had time to find the anthem lawyer.
00:50:17Wait, you knew about it.
00:50:20Ryan, you are the only guy who hasn't made a pass on me.
00:50:23I had my suspicions.
00:50:25I thought Barbara set us up for that reason, but she's clueless.
00:50:29But still hoping for a wedding.
00:50:31I'll see you tomorrow.
00:50:35Absolutely.
00:50:36And hey, if you knew anything, especially about Jonathan, just ask.
00:50:40Like, it's all behind me.
00:50:42Don't worry.
00:50:43You stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:51:04Just a coincidence, some smarts.
00:51:07See, um, I live here too.
00:51:10Yeah, right.
00:51:15Hey!
00:51:15Can you give me some space?
00:51:32It's pretty nice, please.
00:51:36When did you move here?
00:51:38Because I was under the impression that this space has one.
00:51:44It has two.
00:51:53Oh, what a coincidence.
00:51:56I live here too.
00:51:58Guess what?
00:51:59My passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:01Is this passcode still Fiona?
00:52:03Why do you care?
00:52:15Turn the lights, Mabel.
00:52:17That's an early night.
00:52:18Rough day?
00:52:19Actually, it's one of the best days of my life.
00:52:23Really?
00:52:24What happened?
00:52:25Good night, Mabel.
00:52:37Need a ride with S'mores?
00:52:40No, thank you.
00:52:41I prefer to walk.
00:52:42You kidding?
00:52:43It's about to rain.
00:52:44What?
00:52:55The GL was a quiet ride.
00:53:05You know, I have a tip for your product, if you're interested.
00:53:12Okay, fine.
00:53:13What do you think?
00:53:14The interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:53:16Uniform font size is causing confusion, but a little variation will help.
00:53:22You're right.
00:53:22We wanted simplicity, but maybe too much, though.
00:53:28It's a good approach, but you need to experiment, but you've all of a sudden a rule-breaker, Mabel.
00:53:41Mr. Wester, is there a couple of your mother's mother?
00:53:45Her condition worsened.
00:54:00We thought it would be best if you were here.
00:54:05Is there anything that could be done for her?
00:54:09We've done everything.
00:54:12Her vitals are going quickly.
00:54:13I'm so sorry.
00:54:15I'm going to get some medicine, okay?
00:54:22Mom.
00:54:23Hey.
00:54:24I'm right here.
00:54:27Jonathan.
00:54:29Anything?
00:54:30Is there anything we can get for you?
00:54:33I'm leaving you.
00:54:35No.
00:54:36No.
00:54:38You're fine.
00:54:39We're taking good care of you.
00:54:40My son.
00:54:41I'm truly sorry.
00:54:51You're the best mom I could ever have.
00:54:55I want you to be happy.
00:55:00I am happy.
00:55:02I'm happy.
00:55:02After Fiona, I saw how you suffered.
00:55:12I regret so many.
00:55:14I overlooked things after Fiona's death.
00:55:22And you...
00:55:23You've changed so much.
00:55:27What do you mean, Mom?
00:55:28Just promise me, you'll be happy.
00:55:31With Mabel or anyone else.
00:55:35Promise.
00:55:42That it's time you learned the truth.
00:55:46About everything.
00:55:47Oh, my God.
00:55:54It's official.
00:55:55I feel like you just died.
00:55:57Really?
00:55:58What happened?
00:56:00It was sudden.
00:56:01Jonathan Blackford confirmed it.
00:56:04Are you okay?
00:56:04I just hear you on the deck.
00:56:06Come.
00:56:08I have to...
00:56:09Go.
00:56:10Take the day off.
00:56:10Okay.
00:56:11Facial recognition successful.
00:56:33Welcome, Mabel.
00:56:35Facial recognition.
00:56:36I'm fine.
00:56:37Why are you here?
00:56:54I saw the news.
00:56:56Are you okay?
00:56:58I'll manage.
00:57:00Do you need anything?
00:57:01Do you want to talk?
00:57:02Why are you here?
00:57:04Is it because you care?
00:57:07I understand what it feels like to lose a parent.
00:57:09But that's not why you're here.
00:57:12You care.
00:57:14Don't you?
00:57:15I was concerned.
00:57:17But if you're fine, I should go.
00:57:19Please don't go.
00:57:21Please.
00:57:21Have you been drinking?
00:57:23Jonathan, this is so inappropriate.
00:57:25Mabel, Mabel, listen.
00:57:26Listening.
00:57:28Mabel signing in.
00:57:29How can I help, Jonathan?
00:57:30Jonathan.
00:57:32Listen.
00:57:32What is that?
00:57:40Hello, Miss Morris.
00:57:41I'm Mabel.
00:57:43An AI modeled after you.
00:57:45Mabel!
00:57:45Mabel, stop!
00:57:48Wait.
00:57:49Wait.
00:57:54I'm sorry.
00:57:57I'm sorry.
00:57:57This was my way of coping with your absence.
00:58:00It was never meant to be discovered like this.
00:58:03This is too much.
00:58:11This isn't just obsession.
00:58:13This is unhealthy.
00:58:13I know.
00:58:14It's wrong.
00:58:18Please.
00:58:19I'll never bother you again.
00:58:20Just give me some time and I'll go.
00:58:23I swear.
00:58:24Are you okay, Jonathan?
00:58:26Yes.
00:58:29Yes.
