00:00:00Today's biggest news, Jonathan Whiteford, the city's golden bachelor, is set to marry
00:00:19his longtime fiancee, Julie Miller, uniting New York's most elite families.
00:00:23This is Amber Wilson from J.K.R. News.
00:00:30Mr. Whiteford, your meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:00:41You smoking cigarettes?
00:00:44It's an important meeting.
00:00:46We need to get ready.
00:00:48It could be a little softer in the morning.
00:00:51Nolan likes a buzzkill.
00:00:54Good morning to you, too.
00:01:00I had never had Mediterranean food before, so he immediately takes me to this restaurant
00:01:04on 45th and...
00:01:05Mmm, Jonathan, he's quite a romantic.
00:01:08And then what?
00:01:10Oh.
00:01:11Maple, right?
00:01:13Sorry I didn't mean to take your seat.
00:01:14Come join us.
00:01:16We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:01:19Oh, Maple would know.
00:01:20She schedules everything for Jonathan.
00:01:22Oh, right, his personal assistant.
00:01:27It's nice to meet you.
00:01:28I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiancee.
00:01:31Nice to meet you, Miss Miller.
00:01:34Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal.
00:01:38Take this as a...
00:01:39Oh, wait.
00:01:41I've read so many wonderful things about you, Mabel.
00:01:45Julie.
00:01:45Julie.
00:01:46What are you doing here?
00:01:57It's just a surprise visit for my lovely fiancée.
00:02:03Julie, I thought we discussed about keeping boundaries.
00:02:06In front of everyone, play the part, Jonathan.
00:02:09We're engaged, remember?
00:02:12Mabel, are you ready for the meeting?
00:02:13Yes, everything's prepared.
00:02:16Good, I want you to take the lead this time.
00:02:18Lead the meeting?
00:02:19Yes, you've earned it.
00:02:22Feel up for it?
00:02:23Absolutely.
00:02:27Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.
00:02:28I don't need formalities.
00:02:29Come on, let's go.
00:02:30We're going to be late.
00:02:34Always work first with him, huh?
00:02:36Woo-hoo.
00:02:43Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Mabel.
00:02:56Well, I learned from the best.
00:02:58Is he as usual, Jonathan?
00:03:17Mom!
00:03:17I thought we agreed on calling first.
00:03:22Since when do I need permission to see my son, hmm?
00:03:26What's the matter?
00:03:26We are hosting a joint family dinner with the Millers.
00:03:32You and Julie are expected to be there.
00:03:33We agreed to delay the engagement.
00:03:35This is not up for debate.
00:03:37You will attend the family dinner.
00:03:43And you should join us well, Mabel.
00:03:46A toast.
00:04:05To the union.
00:04:06Yes.
00:04:10Mabel, can you pull me some wine?
00:04:12Mabel's a guest.
00:04:13Of course.
00:04:14Of course.
00:04:15Miss Miller?
00:04:16A soon-to-be Mrs. Whiteford.
00:04:19Dad, I'm still your daughter.
00:04:21We are so excited to welcome you into our family.
00:04:24This is the first joyful dinner we've had since Fiona.
00:04:35With Jonathan and Julie together.
00:04:41It almost feels like Fiona is with us here again.
00:04:47Mom.
00:04:49We are so looking forward to this marriage.
00:04:52Yeah.
00:04:55I'm full.
00:04:57Please enjoy.
00:04:57You're okay?
00:05:15Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:05:18I thought you were someone else.
00:05:20Who are you looking for?
00:05:22Jonathan Whiteford.
00:05:23The owner of the mansion.
00:05:26You, uh, must be his girlfriend.
00:05:29No, just his assistant.
00:05:31I see.
00:05:32I'm Ryan.
00:05:33My father is the gardener here.
00:05:35I know the house really well.
00:05:36I actually may be able to help you.
00:05:38Jonathan has a few favorite spots around here.
00:05:41Though he doesn't visit much nowadays,
00:05:43he does have quite a few properties.
00:05:45Yes, he prefers to live alone.
00:05:48Is that so?
00:05:49Oh, good.
00:05:50You've met.
00:05:50I was thinking of setting you two up on a date.
00:05:55You make a cute couple.
00:06:06Petite?
00:06:07Yes, Mabel.
00:06:09Ryan's a fine young man,
00:06:10and you're a diligent worker.
00:06:13You make a good match.
00:06:14Well, it's a kind offer,
00:06:16but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.
00:06:19Well, no effects.
00:06:21None taken.
00:06:23Anyway, I should go find Jonathan.
00:06:24He has a very early meeting.
00:06:29Mabel, you're a smart girl.
00:06:33I know how busy you've been serving my son.
00:06:36What fun you've had.
00:06:38I don't understand.
00:06:39Let me clarify.
00:06:41You're barely a side dish.
00:06:43Now the main course is served.
00:06:44Stay away from my son.
00:06:49Or lose your position at the company
00:06:51and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:53Have I made myself clear?
00:06:59Now, about you and Ryan.
00:07:02You're quite the pair.
00:07:04I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:07:06Morning.
00:07:25The files are ready for you to sign.
00:07:34Were you okay last night?
00:07:35What's on my schedule for today?
00:07:42One meeting in the morning,
00:07:43two in the afternoon,
00:07:45and Julie wants a dinner date.
00:07:49I've set up calendar alerts.
00:07:51You're wearing a new perfume today.
00:08:07You have plaids later?
00:08:09Yes.
00:08:10Miss Whiteford set me up for a date.
00:08:12It's after work.
00:08:14Oh, a date?
00:08:17Are you joking?
00:08:18You're not the only one
00:08:20inclined for a bit of romance,
00:08:22Jonathan.
00:08:32Before we start,
00:08:34you should know that
00:08:35I am a messy eater.
00:08:38And I hate cats.
00:08:39I'm also indifferent to humanity
00:08:42and climate change.
00:08:44We can just agree
00:08:45that this wasn't a match.
00:08:47And that's your strategy for tonight?
00:08:50Tell me more about yourself.
00:08:51What do you want to know?
00:08:52Family?
00:08:53My mom died,
00:08:55and my father is a gambler.
00:08:57You'd inherit his debts
00:08:58at the altar.
00:08:58Delightful company you are.
00:09:02I'm a walking old flag.
00:09:03Who knows?
00:09:04I might even become an abuser.
00:09:06An abuser?
00:09:08Do you use ropes?
00:09:10What?
00:09:11You see,
00:09:11I enjoy being tied up,
00:09:13so I'm rather intrigued.
00:09:16Oh, weirdo.
00:09:18Says Miss Monster Day.
00:09:21Meatball?
00:09:22You're Jack's son.
00:09:33He was such a talented gardener.
00:09:36A favorite servant of mine
00:09:37growing up.
00:09:38If you don't mind,
00:09:39we're on a date.
00:09:41Oh, and having fun, I see.
00:09:43We would be,
00:09:45without any interruptions.
00:09:52I think.
00:09:57I'm on my way.
00:09:59Okay.
00:10:00Sorry.
00:10:00I have to go.
00:10:04Meatball.
00:10:10Excuse me.
00:10:10Hi, I'm here for my father,
00:10:11Mr. Morris.
00:10:12What happened?
00:10:13He's stable now.
00:10:15The predators got rough with him.
00:10:17Broke a couple ribs,
00:10:18but he's breathing.
00:10:18How do I pay
00:10:22for the bills?
00:10:23They've been paid for.
00:10:25By whom?
00:10:30Ryan.
00:10:31What are you doing here?
00:10:33To finish the date.
00:10:34I'm starving.
00:10:36It's a very expensive date.
00:10:40I'll pay you back.
00:10:41Later.
00:10:42For now,
00:10:42let's get something to eat.
00:10:48So, you grew up
00:10:55in the Whiteford Mansion?
00:10:57Yeah, I did.
00:10:58I helped my dad
00:11:00with the gardens,
00:11:00and we planted exotic flowers
00:11:02from around the world.
00:11:04Paradise for plant geeks,
00:11:05for sure.
00:11:06Sounds super nerdy.
00:11:07But...
00:11:08You were serious
00:11:13about your father's
00:11:14debts, weren't you?
00:11:16He was a gambler.
00:11:17He's changed,
00:11:20but it still haunts us.
00:11:22I just hope to one day
00:11:24settle the debts.
00:11:25You were not the terrible person
00:11:26you made yourself out to be.
00:11:28You've known me for one day.
00:11:30Hold your conclusions, Sherlock.
00:11:34Well,
00:11:35this is Wool.
00:11:38Um,
00:11:39goodnight, nerd.
00:11:41Goodnight, monster date.
00:11:41It's late.
00:11:53Where you been?
00:11:59Were you out with them all night?
00:12:02It's my personal time.
00:12:04I don't have to report
00:12:05everything to you.
00:12:06So it went well, then.
00:12:07Your mother
00:12:08set us up, Jonathan.
00:12:09How could I refuse?
00:12:11Good.
00:12:12So then,
00:12:12it was all just for show.
00:12:14Well, I actually had
00:12:15a really nice time.
00:12:16I might consider
00:12:16a second date.
00:12:19I can still smell
00:12:20Julie's perfume.
00:12:21Then come shower it off me.
00:12:24You went on a date
00:12:25with another man.
00:12:26And you took another woman
00:12:27to a restaurant
00:12:27that I recommended.
00:12:28Jealous?
00:12:30Not as much as you.
00:12:31So I'm going描
00:13:01Morning.
00:13:06Coffee or tea?
00:13:09Uh, coffee.
00:13:15You never make me breakfast.
00:13:19Last night must have been record-breaking.
00:13:23Cammy.
00:13:27I'm breaking up with you.
00:13:31What do you mean?
00:13:33Well, more of an ending than a breakup, really.
00:13:36We need to stop.
00:13:37Whatever this is.
00:13:39What about our last night?
00:13:42Consider it a breakup gift.
00:13:43Breakup? We weren't even together.
00:13:45Exactly.
00:13:50Shouldn't be too hard to move on.
00:14:01I mean, it's not the case.
00:14:02It's just everything.
00:14:02It's just everything.
00:14:02It's just everything.
00:14:03Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:14:03Three, two, one.
00:14:05Happy 7th anniversary, Mabel!
00:14:07Ah!
00:14:08Anniversary?
00:14:10I mean, 7 years old Webber.
00:14:12Time flies, doesn't it?
00:14:14Wow, it really has been that long.
00:14:16I'm about to cut the cake, Mabel.
00:14:18Hey!
00:14:18You guys are so sweet.
00:14:19What are you doing?
00:14:20What are you doing?
00:14:22Boss, it's her special day.
00:14:24So?
00:14:25We have the meeting with Harbor in an hour.
00:14:29Do your jobs!
00:14:54We have the meeting with Harbor in an hour.
00:15:08You're listening to us.
00:15:12Bye-bye.
00:15:13Bye-bye.
00:15:14Bye-bye.
00:15:14Bye-bye.
00:15:15Bye-bye.
00:15:15Bye-bye.
00:15:17Bye-bye.
00:15:19Bye-bye.
00:15:20Bye-bye.
00:15:21Bye-bye.
00:15:24It was fun while it lasted.
00:15:54Hello, this is Mabel.
00:16:03Evening, Mabel.
00:16:04Ryan, what an honor.
00:16:07You want to grab dinner together?
00:16:08Just as friends, of course.
00:16:09I'm not up for another dramatic date.
00:16:13Sure, why not?
00:16:15Where are we going?
00:16:16I know the perfect spot.
00:16:17I'll text you.
00:16:18See you soon.
00:16:19See you soon.
00:16:50Hey, I asked you out on a date for a reason.
00:16:53I think we'd make excellent business partners.
00:16:56Business partners?
00:16:57Yeah.
00:16:58Well, I was just saying, our first date was rather chaotic.
00:17:01So I wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you.
00:17:05I'm Ryan Anderson.
00:17:07I'm the founder of Novatek.
00:17:09And I would like for you to join us head of the creative strategies.
00:17:13Novatek?
00:17:14Novatek?
00:17:21But I thought you said you were...
00:17:22The gardener's son.
00:17:23Yes, I still am, but I'm not defined by what my father does.
00:17:28Even if Barbara thinks so.
00:17:29After years of education and, well, hard work, I find myself at MIT and started my own company.
00:17:37It's good to own something of your own, right?
00:17:40That's incredible, Ryan.
00:17:42And I'm grateful for the opportunity, but I already have a job.
00:17:46And I'm just an assistant, so I'm sure there are other people much more qualified than me out there.
00:17:52You're not just anyone.
00:17:54You're the key success to the Whitefords project.
00:17:57It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.
00:18:01So, cheers to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:18:05Miss Whiteford, um, Jonathan's left for the...
00:18:25I'm here to see you.
00:18:27How was everything with Ryan?
00:18:30It was pleasant.
00:18:31Thank you for the introduction.
00:18:33When do you plan to marry him?
00:18:35We've only just met.
00:18:39I've warned you.
00:18:41No marriage.
00:18:44No job at Whiteford Tech.
00:18:47And you will be banned from the industry.
00:18:50I've ended things with Jonathan.
00:18:52Then marry Ryan to prove it.
00:18:54I've done my research as well, Mabel.
00:18:59Leave my son, and I'll clear all your father's debts.
00:19:03If not, those seeking him will find him.
00:19:10Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance, not me.
00:19:14I don't think you understand the situation.
00:19:16You are nothing to tell nothing.
00:19:19At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:19:25A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:19:27What do you mean?
00:19:29You don't know, do you?
00:19:30Marry Ryan.
00:19:36It's my last warning.
00:19:37What?
00:19:38Did I miss a meeting?
00:19:40What? Did I miss a meeting?
00:19:59Uh, no, I just...
00:20:02Your driver couldn't get a hold of you. He was concerned.
00:20:05Mr. Whiteford, it's October 5th.
00:20:07Shit, shit.
00:20:08Never always take the day off.
00:20:10It's okay. The car's out front.
00:20:13No, no, it's not okay. I never forget...
00:20:16Just clear everything for today. Okay.
00:20:20I've kept your calendar clear, as always.
00:20:22Okay, thank you.
00:20:24Um, the car, Mr. Whiteford.
00:20:26Right. I'll, uh, see you.
00:20:28At the office?
00:20:28Right.
00:20:35Hello?
00:20:35Hey, boss, where are you? Our server is dead!
00:20:38Oh, uh, okay, I'm on my way.
00:20:40The entire server crashed! Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:49Hey, what happened?
00:20:50We are under attack. We need a season reboot.
00:20:52Where is Mr. Whiteford? We need his admin code. Now!
00:20:55Okay, he's out of the office. Um, let me just try contacting him, okay?
00:21:02We need that code. Do you have access to it?
00:21:04No, that code is highly confidential. Jonathan is the sole owner. Um, let me try.
00:21:17What else?
00:21:18We're completely offline. Come on, Mabel. You know you're the best.
00:21:21Yeah, a moment.
00:21:26Try Fiona.
00:21:27F-I-O-N-A.
00:21:31Fiona.
00:21:32Give it a shot.
00:21:36Fiona.
00:21:37F-I-O-N-A.
00:21:38Give it a shot.
00:21:43Remember that awkward dinner at the Whitefruits?
00:21:46Since Fiona, you are nothing to Jonathan.
00:21:51At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:21:55A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:21:56Hello, Jonathan.
00:22:08Good to see you.
00:22:10How may I help you?
00:22:13Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?
00:22:16Oh, no. That's not Mabel.
00:22:21That's my sister, Fiona.
00:22:24Jonathan's first love.
00:22:26Uh, next, Mabel Morris?
00:22:55Hello.
00:22:56You know, coding demands intense focus and absolute silence.
00:23:07That's why having a capable assistant to help with other things like interviews is crucial.
00:23:15Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford.
00:23:28Here's my resume.
00:23:32Mabel.
00:23:33It's nice to meet you.
00:23:34When can you start?
00:23:51Tomorrow.
00:23:52No, actually, today.
00:23:55Welcome to Whiteford Tech.
00:23:56Mabel.
00:23:58Mabel, are you all right?
00:24:12I know.
00:24:13Shocking, isn't it?
00:24:14You know, when they mentioned you years ago, I was concerned.
00:24:20I thought you had actually fallen for someone.
00:24:22But then I saw you, and I knew there was nothing to worry about.
00:24:26To Jonathan, you're just a reminder of my sister.
00:24:30He doesn't love you.
00:24:33You're nothing but a shadow to him.
00:24:34You are, at best, a placebo.
00:24:37Oh, Mabel.
00:24:42Did you actually think you stood a chance?
00:24:44You pathetic slut.
00:24:50Fuck off.
00:24:56Oh, do you know about today?
00:24:58I don't want to know.
00:24:59Fiona died today, seven years ago.
00:25:02He visits her grave on this day, every year.
00:25:08You see?
00:25:10You're just a joke.
00:25:14Hey, Mabel.
00:25:35What's wrong?
00:25:41There was an attack on the system at work today.
00:25:45Okay.
00:25:46Well, since you're here and down at the office, I assume it's resolved?
00:25:51Your passcode.
00:25:54What is it?
00:25:56What?
00:25:57The code, Jonathan, what is it?
00:25:59That's none of your business.
00:26:04Come on, tell me about this attack.
00:26:06So, it's been fixed.
00:26:15We had to restart the system.
00:26:18System reboot.
00:26:19I see.
00:26:21It asked for an admin code.
00:26:23Why didn't you call me?
00:26:24I tried to, but it didn't go through.
00:26:28Signal down there.
00:26:30We got the code.
00:26:30It did.
00:26:34How?
00:26:36Luckily, Julie was there.
00:26:44So you've seen...
00:26:45Fiona?
00:26:51Yeah.
00:26:51Fiona?
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:02Mabel.
00:27:04I know you have a lot of questions.
00:27:06Actually, I found a lot of answers today.
00:27:13I thought I was lucky.
00:27:16To have that job.
00:27:19To work at the company.
00:27:21To be by your side.
00:27:25To enter a relationship with you or whatever that was.
00:27:28But it turns out...
00:27:33I was just a replacement.
00:27:35No.
00:27:36A replacement for some sick, twisted obsession that you can't get over.
00:27:40I'm shadowing for a dead girlfriend!
00:27:45All those years.
00:27:47When you've been...
00:27:49You're fucking a goat.
00:27:52Yeah!
00:27:54Don't speak.
00:27:56Don't use that term.
00:27:57Dead.
00:27:58Ghost.
00:27:59Stop.
00:28:00That's the reality of it, Jonathan.
00:28:02She is both.
00:28:10I'm Mabel Morans.
00:28:12I'm not...
00:28:14I'm not your dead girlfriend.
00:28:17I'm not Fiona.
00:28:25You're right.
00:28:25You're not her.
00:28:30Nobody is.
00:28:40I've submitted my resignation.
00:28:45Thank you for the opportunity.
00:28:48Years ago, I learned a lot.
00:28:49Bye, Mr. Whiteford.
00:28:53Bye, Mr. Whiteford.
00:29:04Bye.
00:29:05You said you were a friend of Mr. Morris's?
00:29:24A friend of his daughter, Mabel, actually.
00:29:25Ah, yes, Mabel.
00:29:27She's quite sweet and caring.
00:29:29Absolutely.
00:29:30She asked me to come check on Scott.
00:29:32How's his condition?
00:29:34He's well.
00:29:35With a little rest, he should recover fully.
00:29:40That's good news.
00:29:51He's at Silverpine Hospital.
00:29:54Tell his creditors.
00:29:56I knew you had it in me.
00:29:59Oh, Mrs. Waitford, I was just...
00:30:01Spare me the excuses, Julie.
00:30:03I've seen what you're capable of.
00:30:08Years ago.
00:30:09Mrs. Waitford, there's been a misunderstanding.
00:30:21Oh, enough, Julie, cut it.
00:30:25Fiona was sweet, but too naive for our world.
00:30:30Her innocence was a liability.
00:30:32I tried separating Jonathan and Fiona for years.
00:30:36But Jonathan was so invested.
00:30:38Even ignoring this family to pursue his little tech project, all encouraged by Fiona.
00:30:45Luckily, his project succeeded.
00:30:47But not without him taking down his father's legacy first.
00:30:52We could have been so much more influential, so powerful.
00:30:59But just when I thought all was lost, Fiona was out of the picture.
00:31:03Her death was no coincidence, Julie.
00:31:08God plays no favors.
00:31:10I see your hand in her car accident.
00:31:16How long have you known?
00:31:17Oh, Julie.
00:31:20I've known from the start.
00:31:21What happened?
00:31:28He's...
00:31:28His debt collector's caught up to him.
00:31:31Are you okay?
00:31:32Prepare for the worst.
00:31:33He's lost a lot of blood.
00:31:36How did he find him?
00:31:37Someone must have tipped him off.
00:31:39We're investigating.
00:31:39We'll do our best to locate his attackers.
00:31:42I've warned you.
00:31:43It's Barbara Whiteford.
00:31:50The Barbara Whiteford, Queen of Manhattan.
00:31:53She's after my father.
00:31:54That's a serious accusation, ma'am.
00:31:56Respectfully, your father's not significant enough to part away.
00:32:00You don't understand.
00:32:01I got too close to her son and she told me...
00:32:03Please calm down.
00:32:04No, you don't understand.
00:32:06Please, please.
00:32:06Miss Morris?
00:32:09Unfortunately, we couldn't save your father.
00:32:12He passed away.
00:32:13No.
00:32:17No!
00:32:20You left the day!
00:32:26No!
00:32:26No!
00:32:26No!
00:32:27You don't understand.
00:32:28You don't understand.
00:32:28You don't understand.
00:32:43Mom.
00:32:47After you left, Dad was never the same.
00:32:54When you left us,
00:32:59I lost him.
00:33:04I always thought it would get better.
00:33:11But it didn't.
00:33:14I'm sorry.
00:33:19I didn't feel like a nobody.
00:33:24I failed.
00:33:26I failed at everything.
00:33:35Leave me alone.
00:33:38You got food from your favorite place?
00:33:49You don't have to talk to me, but please say something.
00:33:54Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:33:59Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:34:00I'm only gonna ask you once, and I'll leave you be.
00:34:14But are you okay?
00:34:17Do you wanna talk about it?
00:34:19I'm managing.
00:34:21The food helped.
00:34:22The food helped.
00:34:23You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:29It's so good I feel vulnerable.
00:34:32We all have our moments.
00:34:34It's just...
00:34:36It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:37I get it.
00:34:38And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:34:43I've lost a loved one too.
00:34:45Great.
00:34:46Do you have a dead girlfriend also?
00:34:47A dead girlfriend?
00:34:48Wait.
00:34:49You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.
00:34:50So you knew.
00:34:51You knew all this time.
00:34:52But you two are completely different.
00:34:55I didn't lose a lover.
00:34:57It was my mother I lost.
00:34:59Ryan, I'm sorry.
00:35:01It's okay.
00:35:02This whole week is just...
00:35:19Everything feels so pointless.
00:35:23And that's a natural feeling to have.
00:35:25I used to mock existentialism.
00:35:28I get it now.
00:35:30now. I love how intelligent you sound, even now. Stop. No, seriously, modern-day Socrates.
00:35:42Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:43Thank you, Ryan, for the food and the talk. Less of the food. It's still so addictive.
00:36:00Oh, they definitely put drugs in it. Yeah, they bet. Hey, if you need anything, just call
00:36:07me. I will. I think I just need some time to think things over. Have you considered your
00:36:13next steps? I'm not sure. Quit my job, settled the debts. Now the world's just kind of open
00:36:20to me. Strange. Yeah. Well, there's a spot for you at Novatec. Are you sure about me leading?
00:36:28You're the best one to lead it. Come on, just give it a shot. I'll think about it. Seriously.
00:36:33That's all I can ask.
00:36:37Mabel? Are you doing okay?
00:36:47Why aren't you here?
00:36:50Mabel? Are you doing okay?
00:36:54Why are you here?
00:36:56I saw what happened on the news and I...
00:36:58You're worried? Save it. It's none of your business.
00:37:02Mabel, please, let me just...
00:37:04I'm done listening, Jonathan. I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.
00:37:13And now I finally know the truth.
00:37:17I thought what we had was real.
00:37:20But I was just a pill for a wound that won't heal.
00:37:23I don't know.
00:37:23I truly loved you, Jonathan.
00:37:36Don't come looking for me again.
00:37:40Leave me alone.
00:37:42It's my final request.
00:37:43And this is the upstairs division.
00:37:54I can see it.
00:37:55What do you think?
00:37:56Love it. It's so lively.
00:37:59That's the goal.
00:38:00Okay, I'm in.
00:38:02But I have one condition.
00:38:04I'd like to work from a different city.
00:38:06Why's that?
00:38:07Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.
00:38:09That's where you're headed, right?
00:38:11Someone's been doing her homework.
00:38:13And for a new market, it's important to have someone you trust by your side.
00:38:17I'm listening.
00:38:19Welcome to the table.
00:38:26What an honor, Captain.
00:38:27Let me show you around.
00:38:36Sir?
00:38:37You have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes?
00:38:41Right.
00:38:42Um, bring me their pitch deck and latest progress report.
00:38:47And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion.
00:38:50Sir?
00:38:51Mabel doesn't work here anymore.
00:38:53I can get someone else to help with...
00:38:54She can't be replaced.
00:39:07There's no one like her.
00:39:08Why don't you start in the living room?
00:39:17What?
00:39:20Hey.
00:39:21What is happening here?
00:39:22We're just doing our job, sir.
00:39:23Please don't interrupt.
00:39:25Where are these going?
00:39:27They're going to the donation.
00:39:28They aren't already left.
00:39:29Get out.
00:39:38Ben?
00:39:40You're a mess.
00:39:41You do not want to talk.
00:39:48Okay, you haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:39:51Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:39:53Just move on.
00:39:54Find someone.
00:39:54Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:39:56She's clearly just a villain for Fiona.
00:39:58Nothing more than her look-alike.
00:40:00She's different.
00:40:01Funny.
00:40:03Professional.
00:40:04She makes me feel good about myself.
00:40:05She's...
00:40:06She's Mabel.
00:40:07And I actually like her for who she is.
00:40:09What about our engagement?
00:40:20Julie.
00:40:23When Fiona left, I was lost.
00:40:27I would never marry you having some fleeting feelings for her.
00:40:31That's not right for either one of us.
00:40:32No, no.
00:40:33You don't determine that.
00:40:34Jonathan, I have dreamed of our marriage since the day we met.
00:40:37I sacrificed so much for that dream.
00:40:39I lost everything.
00:40:43What do you mean by that?
00:40:44Nothing.
00:40:45Nothing.
00:40:46I just...
00:40:47I can't stand to see you, like...
00:40:48What are you hiding?
00:40:49Nothing.
00:40:50I was just saying that...
00:40:51Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:40:53I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:40:55You're a delusion.
00:40:55Did you?
00:41:01This is silly.
00:41:02Baby, we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?
00:41:05Just sleep this off, and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:41:22Hi.
00:41:23Give me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.
00:41:26It's urgent.
00:41:26The hospital's footage was erased, but a doctor remembers a young woman claiming to be Mabel's friend.
00:41:36A young woman?
00:41:38Yes, sir.
00:41:39A detailed description matches Miss Miller.
00:41:44Julie.
00:41:46Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?
00:41:48No, don't bother.
00:41:48Any news on Mabel's location?
00:41:50She just purchased tickets for many destinations.
00:41:57Where is she currently?
00:41:59Last known location...
00:42:01She's in a cab to JFK Airport.
00:42:03Get the car ready.
00:42:04Now.
00:42:13Okay, pull over.
00:42:14Right here.
00:42:14Stop.
00:42:16Mabel!
00:42:17Are you insane?
00:42:19What the hell are you doing?
00:42:26Mabel, where are you?
00:42:27Job sent.
00:42:28Don't go.
00:42:33Goodbye.
00:42:33Wait, Mabel, Mabel.
00:42:34Wait.
00:42:35Did you know about Mabel's departure?
00:42:45I know she left with Ryan Anderson, the servant's son.
00:42:50It's a good match.
00:42:51You should be happy for her.
00:42:52Were you part of this?
00:42:55Jonathan.
00:42:57Mabel made her own choice.
00:42:59No one pushed her.
00:43:01She has her life.
00:43:02We have ours.
00:43:03They don't intersect.
00:43:06Remember, you have responsibilities.
00:43:08The wedding's next month.
00:43:09I won't marry Julie.
00:43:12I won't be a pawn in your plan.
00:43:15I love Mabel.
00:43:18She's the one I want.
00:43:19She is merely a stand-in for Fiona.
00:43:21She's not!
00:43:24I know it's already too late.
00:43:26But my feelings for her are real.
00:43:31I'll wait for her.
00:43:32I'll wait as long as it takes
00:43:34because this is my life!
00:43:38And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:43:39Mabel, turn it off.
00:44:02Mabel!
00:44:02Okay, you lazy bone.
00:44:07Come on.
00:44:08There's a meeting to attend to.
00:44:10I programmed you too well, didn't I?
00:44:13I learned it myself.
00:44:15Exactly.
00:44:15That's why I said I programmed you too well.
00:44:18Show off.
00:44:19The driver is ten minutes away.
00:44:35Cut it.
00:44:38Put some clothes on.
00:44:41You can't see me, right?
00:44:43Don't need to.
00:44:45I know you too well.
00:44:47Thank you, Mark.
00:44:48Heard that.
00:44:51Incoming call from Mrs. Whiteford.
00:44:55What are you through?
00:44:57Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent.
00:44:59Please come home.
00:45:00Your mother's condition is critical.
00:45:01What happened?
00:45:13She suffered a stroke last night.
00:45:16Mom.
00:45:17Mom.
00:45:18She'll recover, right?
00:45:20She's alright for now.
00:45:22But she might not speak again.
00:45:24What?
00:45:24A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford.
00:45:28She's lucky she's even breathing.
00:45:32It's me.
00:45:35Hi.
00:45:38What can I do to help?
00:45:40You can keep her calm.
00:45:42She's a fighter.
00:45:43She might be able to pull through.
00:45:47See me?
00:45:49I'm here.
00:45:52Mabel, this is my father here.
00:45:54I've been telling you about.
00:45:55Mabel, it's such a pleasure.
00:45:57Ryan's told me so much about you.
00:45:59Likewise.
00:46:00He's going on about those unique seeds
00:46:03that you've been planting.
00:46:05He's kind of nerdy sometimes.
00:46:07Oh, so nerdy.
00:46:08Mabel!
00:46:19Hey.
00:46:22When did you return?
00:46:24Mabel, we can leave with your...
00:46:25No need.
00:46:27We're just chatting.
00:46:29Jonathan, it's nice to see you.
00:46:31I was just looking for you.
00:46:33You deliberately ignored my request.
00:46:36I asked to be left alone.
00:46:37Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.
00:46:39Everything was sorted.
00:46:40It's all behind us.
00:46:42Um, hey, Jonathan, they're just here to visit an old man.
00:46:49Isn't that okay?
00:46:50Dad, this is your home as well.
00:46:52We don't need his approval.
00:46:54Actually, Jack, I was thinking you should come live in the city with us.
00:46:57I see you two.
00:46:58You live together, huh?
00:47:00It's not your business.
00:47:01Mabel, I just wanted to...
00:47:03I see you haven't changed.
00:47:07Sorry, Jack.
00:47:08I just remembered I have a phone call that I need to meet.
00:47:13Mabel.
00:47:13We can talk about it, you know.
00:47:21About the product launch?
00:47:22My only concern is the interface.
00:47:24It's not user-friendly enough.
00:47:26Mabel, it's okay to be upset with Jonathan.
00:47:28No need to hide it.
00:47:30He's just a competitor now.
00:47:31Speaking of which, the new app at White for Tech is dominating the charts.
00:47:35We should look into that.
00:47:36Can I ask you something?
00:47:37If you're going to say something irritating, I'm not interested.
00:47:42Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:47:43He broke my heart once.
00:47:49I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:48:01This is Mabel.
00:48:03Head of Creatives.
00:48:04It's nice to meet the team.
00:48:05We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.
00:48:08Your products are so exciting.
00:48:11We always try our very best to ensure...
00:48:15Good morning.
00:48:16What are you doing here?
00:48:18Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:19Welcome.
00:48:22Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.
00:48:24He's shown great interest in this product and requested to join us at this meeting.
00:48:30I hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.
00:48:31Considering the product is still under testing, we typically limit our attendance.
00:48:37He's welcome to join.
00:48:39I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.
00:48:42His insight is invaluable.
00:48:46Do you mind if I take a seat?
00:48:47I love being part of the creative process.
00:48:48What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:57At the end of the day, our product is really exciting, and thank you all so much for spending
00:49:02your afternoon with us at Novatec.
00:49:04We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:49:07Well, this sounds like a game-changer.
00:49:12Congratulations.
00:49:14Mr. Whiteford.
00:49:16Do your thoughts?
00:49:19It's good.
00:49:21Surely, as a leader in this industry, you have more to offer than good.
00:49:26I don't think it's my place to say more.
00:49:29If we always play it safe, we'll never achieve perfection.
00:49:31You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:49:38And it's a strong product, but not yet a market leader.
00:49:42But there's potential.
00:49:45Your media needs more clarity.
00:49:46Your media needs affecting your overall product.
00:49:49You need to improve the interactive system.
00:49:51It's far too average.
00:49:53And the interface needs to be more user-friendly.
00:49:55You know this.
00:49:56But overall, truly, truly, well done.
00:50:04I'm proud of you.
00:50:06Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.
00:50:09Sorry.
00:50:10I sometimes get carried away with talented teens.
00:50:17Well then, let's crunch some numbers, shall we?
00:50:20What are we looking at budget-wise?
00:50:22Hey, great job on today's pitch.
00:50:32It was a team effort.
00:50:33You still have some work to do, though?
00:50:35I'm looking forward to launching it.
00:50:37But then, let's non-stop.
00:50:39We're going to get some rest.
00:50:41Wow.
00:50:43You still had time to find the handsome lawyer.
00:50:46Wait.
00:50:47You knew about it.
00:50:48Ryan, you are the only guy who hasn't made a pass at me.
00:50:52I had my suspicions.
00:50:54I thought Barbara set us up for that reason, but she's clueless.
00:50:58Still hoping for a wedding.
00:51:01Um, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:51:03Absolutely.
00:51:04And hey, if you knew anything, especially about Jonathan, just ask.
00:51:09That is all behind me.
00:51:11Don't worry.
00:51:11Okay.
00:51:18Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:51:34Just a coincidence, Ms. Morris.
00:51:36See, um, I live here too.
00:51:39Yeah, right.
00:51:44Hey!
00:51:44Hey!
00:51:46Hey!
00:51:48Can you give me some space?
00:52:01Speaking neighborly.
00:52:05When did you move here?
00:52:07Because I was under the impression that this space housed one.
00:52:12Now it housed two.
00:52:13Oh.
00:52:18Oh, what a coincidence.
00:52:24I, I live here too.
00:52:27Guess what?
00:52:28My passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:30Is his passcode still Fiona?
00:52:32Stop.
00:52:34Why do you care?
00:52:35Oh.
00:52:36What?
00:52:44Didn't the lights, Mabel.
00:52:45That's an early night.
00:52:47Rough day?
00:52:48Actually, it's one of the best days of my life.
00:52:52Really?
00:52:53What happened?
00:52:56Good night, Mabel.
00:52:57You need a ride with some Morris?
00:53:09No, full deal.
00:53:10I prefer to walk.
00:53:11Are you kidding?
00:53:12It's about to rain.
00:53:13Come on.
00:53:16Is he dead?
00:53:27He seemed really occupied yesterday.
00:53:30The deal was a quiet ride.
00:53:32No.
00:53:33Now I have a tip for your product, if you're interested.
00:53:36Okay, fine.
00:53:42What is it?
00:53:43The interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:53:45The uniform font size is causing confusion, but a little variation could help.
00:53:51You're right.
00:53:53We wanted simplicity, but maybe too much so.
00:53:56It's a good approach, but you need to experiment, but you've always been a rule-breaker, Mabel.
00:54:10Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent.
00:54:12Please come home.
00:54:13Your mother's condition is critical.
00:54:26Her condition worsened.
00:54:29We thought it would be best if you were here.
00:54:34Is there anything that could be done for her?
00:54:38We've done everything.
00:54:41Her vitals are going quickly.
00:54:43I'm so sorry.
00:54:44I'm going to get some medicine.
00:54:46Okay?
00:54:51Mom.
00:54:52Hey.
00:54:54I'm right here.
00:54:56John and I.
00:54:58Do you think is there anything we can get for you?
00:55:02I'm leaving you.
00:55:04No.
00:55:05No.
00:55:07You're fine.
00:55:08Okay, we're taking good care of you.
00:55:09My son.
00:55:13I'm truly sorry.
00:55:20You're the best mom I could ever have.
00:55:25I want you.
00:55:26To be happy.
00:55:27To be happy.
00:55:29I am happy.
00:55:31I'm happy.
00:55:33After Fiona, I saw how you suffered.
00:55:40I regret so many.
00:55:43I overlooked things after Fiona's death.
00:55:50And you changed so much.
00:55:56What do you mean, mom?
00:55:58Just promise me you'll be happy.
00:56:01With Mabel or anyone else.
00:56:03That it's time you learned the truth about everything.
00:56:16Oh my god.
00:56:24It's official.
00:56:25My wife just died.
00:56:27Really?
00:56:27What happened?
00:56:29It was sudden.
00:56:31John and the wife just confirmed it.
00:56:33Are you okay?
00:56:35Um.
00:56:37I have to...
00:56:38Go.
00:56:39Take the date off.
00:56:40Facial recognition successful.
00:57:01Welcome, Mabel.
00:57:05Facial recognition.
00:57:06Huh.
00:57:11It's open.
00:57:12Why are you here?
00:57:23I saw the news.
00:57:26Are you okay?
00:57:27I'll manage.
00:57:30Do you need anything?
00:57:31Do you want to talk?
00:57:31Why are you here?
00:57:34Is it because you care?
00:57:36I understand what it feels like to lose a parent.
00:57:39But that's not why you're here.
00:57:42You care.
00:57:43Don't you?
00:57:45I was concerned.
00:57:47But if you're fine, I should go.
00:57:48Please don't go.
00:57:50Please.
00:57:51Have you been drinking?
00:57:53Jonathan, this is so inappropriate.
00:57:54Mabel, Mabel, listen.
00:57:56Listening.
00:57:57Mabel signing in.
00:57:58How can I help, Jonathan?
00:58:01Son.
00:58:07What is that?
00:58:09Hello, Miss Morris.
00:58:11I'm Mabel.
00:58:12An AI modeled after you.
00:58:14Mabel!
00:58:15Mabel, stop!
00:58:18Wait.
00:58:19Wait.
00:58:24I'm sorry.
00:58:25I'm sorry.
00:58:27I'm sorry.
00:58:27This was my way of coping with your absence.
00:58:29It was never meant to be discovered like this.
00:58:33Jonathan.
00:58:36This is...
00:58:37This is too much.
00:58:40This isn't just obsession.
00:58:42This is unhealthy.
00:58:43I know.
00:58:44It's wrong.
00:58:45I know.
00:58:47Please.
00:58:48I'll never bother you again.
00:58:49Just...
00:58:50Just...
00:58:51Give me some time and I'll go.
00:58:52I swear.
00:58:53Are you okay, Jonathan?
00:58:59Yes.
00:59:01Yes.
00:59:02You're right about the rain.
00:59:18Outstanding, Mabel. This product will be a hit.
00:59:43Know Mr. Whiteford today?
00:59:45Uh, yes. He wished to come, but couldn't make it. He was caught up with family matters. Did you hear about his mother?
00:59:58Morning. I'm here to announce the passing of my mother, Barbara Whiteford, due to a severe stroke.
01:00:08It's a challenging time for our family, and we appreciate your thoughts. While we mourn, I also need to address serious matters involving Julie Miller, a close associate of our family.
01:00:22Years ago, Fiona Miller, my then-girlfriend, and I developed a system named after her that laid the foundation for Whiteford Tech.
01:00:32Her untimely death, I've recently learned, was orchestrated by her sister, Julie Miller, with my mother's knowledge.
01:00:40Moreover, Julie Miller has been involved in other immoral acts. She hired gang members for violent acts and caused deep harm to someone close to my heart.
01:00:54I'm not seeking forgiveness for the family.
01:00:58I only want justice.
01:01:00Julie now stands trial for her actions.
01:01:03The Fiona system, pivotal in uncovering these truths, will now be decommissioned and made publicly available for the advancement of technology.
01:01:14It's time for fresh perspectives. I'm stepping down.
01:01:21Whiteford Tech will now be under NOVA, led by Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morse, whose leadership and vision I trust.
01:01:30This will be my last public appearance. All my shares in Whiteford Tech will be transferred to Mabel Morse.
01:01:37Future is in her hands, thank you.
01:01:44Did you know about this?
01:01:48So that's it. We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.
01:02:07We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.
01:02:13Hey, Jonathan.
01:02:16Sup?
01:02:19Hey, why did you leave the company and all of your shares? What?
01:02:24Too harsh.
01:02:28Facial recognition successful.
01:02:30Welcome, Mabel.
01:02:37Wait.
01:02:44Where's Jonathan?
01:02:46He has moved away.
01:02:48He is, I quote,
01:02:50giving you space.
01:02:53He moved?
01:02:55Where?
01:02:56I'm afraid I don't know.
01:03:01He really left everything behind.
01:03:04He said,
01:03:05it would be for the best.
01:03:19He's right.
01:03:23Maybe it is for the best.
01:03:24I found the programmer that you've been looking for.
01:03:36Here's everything on him.
01:03:37The best we could dig up.
01:03:40Hey.
01:03:41You need to learn to take some more breaks.
01:03:43Setting the bar way too high for the rest of us.
01:03:45No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:03:50I'll slow down once we've got more skilled people like this one working for us.
01:03:54What kind of crystal looks to you.
01:04:14Facial recognition successful.
01:04:16Welcome, Mabel.
01:04:17What?
01:04:18Nice work, Jonathan.
01:04:30Mabel.
01:04:32Hey.
01:04:34How did you...
01:04:36Weeks ago, we discovered a mysterious programmer.
01:04:40Their work was outstanding.
01:04:41I just had to know who it was.
01:04:43Sorry.
01:04:47I, uh...
01:04:49Got bored.
01:04:50I wanted something to do.
01:04:52Your coding gave you away.
01:04:54It felt familiar.
01:04:55Like you.
01:04:57The way the numbers and the figures went together, I don't know, it kind of felt romantic.
01:05:03Why did you leave everything behind?
01:05:06Don't you miss it?
01:05:08I wanted to...
01:05:10Fix my mistakes.
01:05:12To help you.
01:05:15I want you to be happy, Mabel.
01:05:19You left without saying goodbye.
01:05:21I know.
01:05:22I'm sorry.
01:05:24I knew you wouldn't forgive me if I left.
01:05:26I needed to distance myself from you.
01:05:28It was the only way I knew how to forgive you.
01:05:32Have you succeeded?
01:05:33No.
01:05:37And good.
01:05:43Julie.
01:05:47At Novatec, we offer competitive pay.
01:05:50And flexible schedules with remote opportunities and free meals.
01:05:57Sounds good.
01:05:58There's more.
01:06:00We have benefits, like honeymoon leave, and childcare support, and fun company events.
01:06:09So, Jonathan Whiteford, how would you feel about joining Novatec?
01:06:15As an executive?
01:06:17No, as staff, but I would be thrilled to have you as a senior programmer.
01:06:21Pretty good offer.
01:06:23Also, there are no restrictions about relationships with colleagues.
01:06:35So, if you happen to like someone at work, it's cool.
01:06:41That's good to know.
01:06:42I'm a scholar.
01:06:43Yes.
01:06:44Yes.
01:06:46Yes.
01:06:47Yes.
01:06:49Yes.
01:06:50Yes.
01:06:51Yes.
01:06:52Yes.
01:06:53Yes.
01:06:54Yes.
01:06:55Yes.
01:06:56Yes.
01:06:57Yes.
01:06:58Yes.
01:06:59It has access to the financial assistance?
01:07:01Yes.
01:07:02Here it is.
01:07:03Yes.
01:07:04Yes.
01:07:05Yes.
01:07:06No.
01:07:07Yes.
01:07:08Yes.
01:07:09Yes.
01:07:10Yes.
01:07:11Yes.
