00:00:00Today's biggest news, Jonathan Whiteford, the city's golden bachelor, is set to marry
00:00:19his longtime fiancée, Julie Miller, uniting New York's most elite families.
00:00:24This is Amber Wilson from J.K.R. News.
00:00:30Mr. Whiteford, your meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:00:40You smoking cigarettes?
00:00:43It's an important meeting.
00:00:46We need to get ready.
00:00:48It could be a little softer in the morning.
00:00:51Roland likes a buzzkill.
00:00:53Good morning to you, too.
00:00:57I've never had Mediterranean food before.
00:01:02So he immediately takes me to this restaurant on 45th.
00:01:06Mmm, Jonathan, he's quite romantic.
00:01:09And then what?
00:01:10Oh.
00:01:11Maple, right?
00:01:13Sorry I didn't mean to take your seat.
00:01:15Come join us.
00:01:16We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:01:19Oh, Mabel would know.
00:01:20She schedules everything, Jonathan.
00:01:24Oh, right.
00:01:25His personal assistant.
00:01:27It's nice to meet you.
00:01:28I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiancée.
00:01:30Nice to meet you, Miss Miller.
00:01:32Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal.
00:01:37Take this as a-
00:01:39Oh, wait.
00:01:40I've read so many wonderful things about you, Mabel.
00:01:45Julie.
00:01:46What are you doing here?
00:01:49It's just a surprise visit for my lovely fiancée.
00:02:02Julie, I thought we discussed about keeping boundaries.
00:02:07In front of everyone, play the part, Jonathan.
00:02:10We're engaged, remember?
00:02:12Mabel, are you ready for the meeting?
00:02:15Yes, everything's prepared.
00:02:17Good.
00:02:18I want you to take the lead this time.
00:02:19Lead the meeting?
00:02:20Yes.
00:02:21You've earned it.
00:02:22Feel up for it?
00:02:23Absolutely.
00:02:24Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.
00:02:28I need formalities.
00:02:29Come on.
00:02:30Let's go.
00:02:31You're gonna be late.
00:02:35Always work first with him, huh?
00:02:37Woo-hoo.
00:02:38Hey.
00:02:39Hey.
00:02:50Oh, well, well.
00:02:53Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Mabel.
00:02:56Well, I learned from the best.
00:02:59Oh, well.
00:03:00Yeah.
00:03:01Ooh.
00:03:02I never saw it yet.
00:03:04Oh, you're in your chair.
00:03:06Ow-hoo!
00:03:07It sounds like a great bell.
00:03:08Oh.
00:03:09Hey.
00:03:11Maybe my face one's off camera,ě„Ľ.
00:03:12What's new?
00:03:14Whatever's your face.
00:03:15Is he as usual, John?
00:03:17Mom!
00:03:19I thought we agreed on calling first.
00:03:22Since when do I need permission to see my son?
00:03:26What's the matter?
00:03:27We 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.
00:03:38And you should join us well, Mabel.
00:04:00A toast.
00:04:05To the union.
00:04:08Mabel, can you pull me some wine?
00:04:12Mabel's a guest.
00:04:13Of course.
00:04:15Miss Miller?
00:04:16Soon to be Mrs. Whiteford.
00:04:19Dad, I'm still your daughter.
00:04:22We are so excited to welcome you into our family.
00:04:27This is the first joyful dinner we've had since Fiona.
00:04:34With 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.
00:04:52I'm full.
00:04:57Losing joy.
00:04:57You okay?
00:05:15You okay?
00:05:17Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:05:18I thought you were someone else.
00:05:20Who were 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.
00:05:46Yes, he prefers to live alone.
00:05:48Is that so?
00:05:49Oh, good.
00:05:50You've met.
00:05:52I 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, and you're a diligent worker.
00:06:13You make a good match.
00:06:14Well, it's a kind offer, but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.
00:06:20No offense.
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.
00:06:46Stay away from my son.
00:06:49Or lose your position at the company and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:53Have I made myself clear?
00:06:54Now, 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, two in the afternoon, and 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 inclined for a bit of romance.
00:08:22Jonathan.
00:08:33Before we start, you should know that I am a messy eater.
00:08:37And I hate cats.
00:08:40I'm also indifferent to humanity and climate change.
00:08:44We can just agree that this wasn't a match.
00:08:47And that's your strategy for tonight?
00:08:50Tell me more about yourself.
00:08:52What do you want to know?
00:08:53Family?
00:08:54My mom died, and my father is a gambler.
00:08:57You'd inherit his debts at 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, I enjoy being tied up, so I'm rather intrigued.
00:09:16Oh, weirdo.
00:09:18Says Miss Monster Day.
00:09:21Me all.
00:09:22You're Jack's son.
00:09:33He was such a talented gardener.
00:09:36A favorite servant of mine growing up.
00:09:39If you don't mind, we're on a date.
00:09:41Oh, and having fun, I see.
00:09:44We would be, without any interruptions.
00:09:52I'm on my way.
00:09:59Okay.
00:10:00Sorry.
00:10:02I have to go.
00:10:04Mabel.
00:10:10He sees me.
00:10:11Hi, I'm here for my father, Mr. Morris.
00:10:12What happened?
00:10:13He's stable now.
00:10:15Creditors got rough with him.
00:10:17Broke a couple ribs, but he's breathing.
00:10:19Um, how do I pay for 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, let's get something to eat.
00:10:49So, you grew up in the Whiteford Mansion?
00:10:57Yeah, I did.
00:10:59I helped my dad with the gardens, and we planted exotic flowers from around the world.
00:11:04Paradise for plant geeks, for sure.
00:11:06Sounds super nerdy.
00:11:07You were serious about your father's debts, right here.
00:11:16He was a gambler.
00:11:19He's changed, but it still haunts us.
00:11:23I just hope to one day settle the debts.
00:11:25You were not the terrible person you made yourself out to be.
00:11:28You've known me for one day.
00:11:30Hold your conclusions, Sherlock.
00:11:32Well, this is Wool.
00:11:38Um, goodnight, nerd.
00:11:41Goodnight, monster date.
00:11:51It's late.
00:11:53Where you been?
00:11:59Were you out with him all night?
00:12:02It's my personal time.
00:12:04I don't have to report everything to you.
00:12:06So it went well, then.
00:12:07Your mother set us up, Jonathan.
00:12:10How could I refuse?
00:12:11Good.
00:12:12So then it was all just for show.
00:12:14Well, I actually had a really nice time.
00:12:16I might consider a second date.
00:12:19I can still smell Julie's perfume.
00:12:21Then come shower it off me.
00:12:24You went on a date with another man.
00:12:26And you took another woman to a restaurant that I recommended.
00:12:29Jealous?
00:12:29Not as much as you.
00:12:31I don't know.
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.
00:13:23Camille.
00:13:27I'm breaking up with you.
00:13:32What 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.
00:13:44Breakup? We weren't even together.
00:13:45Exactly.
00:13:50Shouldn't be too hard to move on.
00:13:52Happy 7th Anniversary, Mabel!
00:14:09Anniversary?
00:14:10Yeah, I mean, 7 years at Webber.
00:14:13Time flies, doesn't it?
00:14:14Wow, it really has been that long.
00:14:16I'm going 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 Harbour in an hour.
00:14:29Do your jobs!
00:14:30Uh, what are you doing with Harbour,affozy Klavendries Sch Share?
00:14:47What are you doing?
00:14:48What are you doing?
00:14:50What are you doing?
00:14:50What do you mean by Harbour?
00:14:53How do you do this?
00:14:54You are fake.
00:14:55All right, all right.
00:14:57I'm done.
00:15:28Someone might see us.
00:15:32Tell me no one was.
00:15:45Happy anniversary, Mabel.
00:15:53It was fun while it lasted.
00:15:58Hello, this is Mabel.
00:16:03Evening, Mabel.
00:16:05Ryan, 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.
00:16:19I'm so glad we got to try this place again.
00:16:25This is amazing.
00:16:27I know.
00:16:28I think it has some drugs in it or something.
00:16:30It'd be weird if they didn't.
00:16:31How could it be so addictive?
00:16:34How have you been lately?
00:16:36Can't complain.
00:16:37Because you signed an NDA?
00:16:39Or because you are happy?
00:16:41The latter.
00:16:42Although, if I did sign an NDA, I couldn't really share otherwise.
00:16:47Goodbye.
00:16:48This is true.
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 Novatec.
00:17:09And I would like for you to join us head of the creative strategies.
00:17:13Novatec?
00:17:19Novatec?
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.
00:17:31After 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.
00:17:48So 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.
00:18:23Um, 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?
00:18:36We'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.
00:18:53I've done my research as well, Mabel.
00:18:59Leave my son.
00:19:01And I'll clear all your father's debts.
00:19:04If not...
00:19:06Those seeking him will find him.
00:19:10Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance.
00:19:13Not me.
00:19:14I don't think you understand the situation.
00:19:18You are nothing to Jonathan.
00:19:21At most, a...
00:19:22A shadow of his past pain.
00:19:25A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:19:28What do you mean?
00:19:29You don't know, do you?
00:19:34Marry Ryan.
00:19:36It's my last warning.
00:19:37Did I miss a meeting?
00:19:59Uh, no.
00:20:00I just...
00:20:02Your driver couldn't get a hold of you.
00:20:03He was concerned.
00:20:04Mr. Whiteford, it's October 15th.
00:20:08Shit, shit.
00:20:08You never...
00:20:09Always take the day off.
00:20:12It's okay.
00:20:13The car's out front.
00:20:13No, it's not okay.
00:20:14I never forget...
00:20:16Just...
00:20:18Clear everything for today.
00:20:19Okay.
00:20:20I've kept your calendar clear.
00:20:21As always.
00:20:22Okay, thank you.
00:20:24Um...
00:20:24Um...
00:20:25The car, Mr. Whiteford.
00:20:26Right.
00:20:27I'll, uh...
00:20:27See you.
00:20:28At the office?
00:20:29Right.
00:20:34Hello?
00:20:35Mabel, where are you?
00:20:37Our server is...
00:20:38Oh, uh...
00:20:39Okay, I'm on my way.
00:20:45The entire server crashed.
00:20:47Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:49Hey, what happened?
00:20:50We are under attack.
00:20:51We need a system reboot.
00:20:53Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:54We need his admin code.
00:20:55Now.
00:20:55Okay, he's out of the office.
00:20:57Um, let me just try contacting him, okay?
00:20:58Okay.
00:20:58We need that code.
00:21:03Do you have access to it?
00:21:05No, that code is highly confidential.
00:21:06Jonathan is the sole owner.
00:21:08Um, let me try.
00:21:17What else?
00:21:18We're completely offline.
00:21:20Come on, Mabel.
00:21:21You know you the best.
00:21:21Wait a moment.
00:21:25Try Fiona.
00:21:26Fiona, F-I-O-N-A.
00:21:31Fiona.
00:21:32Give it a shot.
00:21:36Fiona.
00:21:38Give it a shot.
00:21:43Remember that awkward dinner at the Whiteford's?
00:21:46Since Fiona, you are nothing to Jonathan.
00:21:51At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:21:54A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:22:06Hello, Jonathan.
00:22:09Good to see you.
00:22:10How may I help you?
00:22:13Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?
00:22:16Oh, no.
00:22:17That's not Mabel.
00:22:18That's my sister, Fiona.
00:22:24Jonathan's first love.
00:22:39Next, Mabel Morris.
00:22:40Hello.
00:22:51Hello.
00:23:00You know, coding demands intense focus and absolute silence.
00:23:04That's why having a capable assistant to help with other things like interviews is crucial.
00:23:15I'm Mabel Morris.
00:23:16I'm Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford.
00:23:29Here'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 Wife at Tech.
00:23:58Mabel.
00:23:58Mabel.
00:23:59Mabel.
00:24:01Mabel.
00:24:02Are you all right?
00:24:12I know.
00:24:13Shocking, isn't it?
00:24:16You 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.
00:24:28To Jonathan, you're just a reminder of my sister.
00:24:31He doesn't love you.
00:24:33You're nothing but a shadow to him.
00:24:34You are, at best, a placebo.
00:24:40Oh, Mabel.
00:24:42Did you actually think you stood a chance?
00:24:47You pathetic slut.
00:24:50Fuck off.
00:24:51Oh, 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.
00:25:11Hey, Mabel.
00:25:35What's wrong?
00:25:36There 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.
00:26:05Uh, tell me about this attack.
00:26:12So, it's been fixed?
00:26:15We had to restart the system.
00:26:19System reboot.
00:26:20I see.
00:26:20It 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.
00:26:33It did.
00:26:34How?
00:26:36Luckily,
00:26:39Julie was there.
00:26:44So you've seen...
00:26:45Fiona.
00:26:46Fiona.
00:26:50Yeah.
00:26:56Fiona.
00:27:00Yeah.
00:27:02Mabel.
00:27:04I know you have a lot of questions.
00:27:06Actually,
00:27:07I found a lot of answers today.
00:27:13I thought I was lucky
00:27:14to have that job
00:27:18to work at the company
00:27:21to be
00:27:21by your side.
00:27:25To enter a relationship
00:27:26with you
00:27:28or whatever that was.
00:27:32But it turns out
00:27:33I was just a replacement.
00:27:36No.
00:27:36A replacement
00:27:37for some sick,
00:27:38twisted obsession
00:27:39that you can't get over.
00:27:40I'm shadowing
00:27:41for a dead girlfriend.
00:27:45All those years
00:27:46when you've been
00:27:48you're fucking a ghost.
00:27:52Mia!
00:27:54Don't speak.
00:27:56Don't use that term.
00:27:57Dead
00:27:58ghost?
00:27:59Yeah.
00:28:00That's the reality of it,
00:28:02Jonathan.
00:28:02She is both.
00:28:04I'm Mabel Morris.
00:28:13I'm not...
00:28:14I'm not your dead girlfriend.
00:28:17I'm not Siona.
00:28:25You're right.
00:28:27You're not her.
00:28:30Nobody is.
00:28:31I've submitted my
00:28:42resignation.
00:28:45Thank you
00:28:46for the opportunity.
00:28:48Years ago
00:28:48I learned a lot.
00:28:52Bye, Mr. Whiteford.
00:28:53You said you were a friend
00:29:22of Mr. Morris's?
00:29:24A friend of his daughter,
00:29:25Mabel, actually.
00:29:25Ah, yes, Mabel.
00:29:27She's quite sweet and caring.
00:29:29Absolutely.
00:29:30She asked me to come
00:29:31check on Scott.
00:29:32How's his condition?
00:29:34He's well.
00:29:37With a little rest
00:29:38he should recover fully.
00:29:40That's good news.
00:29:42He's at Silverpine Hospital.
00:29:54Tell his creditors.
00:29:56I knew you had an idea.
00:29:59Oh, Mrs. Whiteford,
00:30:00I was just...
00:30:01Spare me the excuses, Julie.
00:30:05I've seen what you're capable of
00:30:07years ago.
00:30:09Uh, Mrs. Whiteford,
00:30:20there's been a misunderstanding.
00:30:21Oh, enough, Julie.
00:30:22Cut it.
00:30:25Fiona was sweet.
00:30:28But too naive for our world.
00:30:31Her innocence was a liability.
00:30:33I tried separating Jonathan
00:30:34and Fiona for years.
00:30:36But Jonathan was so invested.
00:30:39Even ignoring this family
00:30:41to pursue his little
00:30:42tech project.
00:30:43All encouraged by Fiona.
00:30:45Luckily,
00:30:46his project succeeded.
00:30:48But not without him
00:30:49taking down his father's
00:30:50legacy first.
00:30:52We could have been
00:30:53so much more influential,
00:30:55so powerful.
00:30:59But,
00:31:00just when I thought
00:31:00all was lost,
00:31:02Fiona was out of the picture.
00:31:03Her death was
00:31:06no coincidence, Julie.
00:31:08God plays no favors.
00:31:10I see your hand
00:31:12in her car accident.
00:31:16How long have you known?
00:31:17Oh, Julie.
00:31:20I've known from the start.
00:31:26What happened?
00:31:28He's...
00:31:28His debt collector's
00:31:29caught up to him.
00:31:31You 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
00:31:38tipped him off.
00:31:39We're investigating.
00:31:39We'll do our best
00:31:40to locate his attackers.
00:31:42I've warned you.
00:31:44This is me,
00:31:45I lied.
00:31:48It's Barbara Whiteford.
00:31:50The?
00:31:51Barbara Whiteford?
00:31:52Queen of Manhattan?
00:31:53She's after my father.
00:31:54That's a serious accusation,
00:31:56ma'am.
00:31:56Respectfully,
00:31:58your father's not
00:31:58significant enough
00:31:59in a harder way.
00:32:00You don't understand.
00:32:01I got too close to her son
00:32:03and she told me...
00:32:04Please calm down.
00:32:04No, you don't understand.
00:32:06Please.
00:32:06Miss Morris?
00:32:09Unfortunately,
00:32:10we couldn't save your father.
00:32:12He passed away.
00:32:17No.
00:32:17No.
00:32:18No.
00:32:20What?
00:32:21No.
00:32:21No.
00:32:21No.
00:32:22No!
00:32:24No!
00:32:26No!
00:32:28No!
00:32:44Mom.
00:32:46After you left, Dad was never the same.
00:32:50When you left us,
00:32:58I lost him.
00:33:02I always thought
00:33:06it would get better.
00:33:10But it didn't.
00:33:14I'm sorry.
00:33:18I didn't feel like a nobody.
00:33:22I failed.
00:33:26I failed at everything.
00:33:28Leave me alone.
00:33:38I got food from your favorite place.
00:33:50You don't have to talk to me, but
00:33:54please say something.
00:33:56Well, 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?
00:34:16Do you want to talk about it?
00:34:20I'm managing.
00:34:22The food helped.
00:34:24You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:30It's so good to feel vulnerable.
00:34:32We all have our moments.
00:34:34It's just...
00:34:36It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:40I get it.
00:34:42And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:34:44I've lost a loved one too.
00:34:48Great.
00:34:50Do you have a dead girlfriend also?
00:34:52A dead girlfriend?
00:34:54Wait.
00:34:56You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.
00:34:58So you knew.
00:35:00You knew all this time.
00:35:02I didn't lose a lover.
00:35:08It was my mother I lost.
00:35:12Ryan, I'm sorry.
00:35:14It's okay.
00:35:16This whole week is just...
00:35:20Everything feels so pointless.
00:35:24And that's a natural feeling to have.
00:35:26I used to mock existentialism.
00:35:30I get it now.
00:35:32I love how intelligent you sound.
00:35:34Even now.
00:35:36Stop.
00:35:37No, seriously.
00:35:39Modern day Socrates.
00:35:42Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:53Thank you, Ryan.
00:35:55For the food and the talk.
00:35:57Mostly the food.
00:35:59It's still so addictive.
00:36:01They definitely put drugs in it.
00:36:02Yeah.
00:36:03I bet.
00:36:04Hey, if you need anything, just call me.
00:36:08I will.
00:36:09I think I just need some time to think things over.
00:36:11Have you considered your next steps?
00:36:14Not sure.
00:36:16Quit my job, settled the debts.
00:36:18Now the world's just kind of open to me.
00:36:21Strange.
00:36:22Strange.
00:36:23Yeah.
00:36:24Well, there's a spot for you at Novatec.
00:36:26You sure?
00:36:27About me leading?
00:36:28You're the best one to lead it.
00:36:30Come on, just give it a shot.
00:36:32I'll think about it.
00:36:33Seriously.
00:36:34That's all I can ask.
00:36:35Okay, wait.
00:36:36Okay, wait.
00:36:43Mabel?
00:36:45Are you doing okay?
00:36:48Why aren't you here?
00:36:51Mabel?
00:36:53Are you doing okay?
00:36:55Why are you here?
00:36:56I saw what happened on the news and I...
00:36:59You're worried?
00:37:01Save it.
00:37:02It's none of your business.
00:37:03Mabel, please, let me just...
00:37:04I'm done!
00:37:06Listening, Jonathan.
00:37:08I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.
00:37:14And 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.
00:37:26I truly loved you, Jonathan.
00:37:37Don't come looking for me again.
00:37:40Leave me alone.
00:37:42It's my final request.
00:37:51And this is the upstairs division.
00:37:54I can see it.
00:37:55What do you think?
00:37:56Love it.
00:37:57It's so lively.
00:37:59That's the goal.
00:38:00Hey, I'm in.
00:38:02But I have one condition.
00:38:04I'd like to work from a different city.
00:38:06Why is that?
00:38:07Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.
00:38:10That's where you're headed, right?
00:38:12Someone's been doing her homework.
00:38:14And for a new market, it's important to have someone you trust by your side.
00:38:18I'm listening.
00:38:19We'll go all look out of heat, though, what?
00:38:21You know?
00:38:23How cute is it?
00:38:25Welcome to the table.
00:38:26What an honor, Captain.
00:38:28Let me show you around.
00:38:29Sir?
00:38:30You have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes?
00:38:41Right.
00:38:43Um...
00:38:44Bring me their pitch deck and latest progress report.
00:38:48And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion.
00:38:51Sir?
00:38:52Mabel doesn't work here anymore.
00:38:53I can get someone else to help with...
00:39:04She can't be replaced.
00:39:07There's no one like her.
00:39:14Why don't you start in the living room?
00:39:18Hey!
00:39:21What is happening here?
00:39:22We're just doing our job, sir.
00:39:23Please don't interrupt.
00:39:25Where...
00:39:26Where are these going?
00:39:27They're going to the donation.
00:39:28Fiona already left.
00:39:38Get out.
00:39:40Ben?
00:39:41You're a mess.
00:39:44You do not want to talk.
00:39:48You haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:39:50Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:39:53Just move on.
00:39:54Find someone.
00:39:55Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:39:57She's clearly just a villain for Fiona.
00:39:59Nothing more than her look-alike.
00:40:01She's different.
00:40:02Funny.
00:40:03Professional.
00:40:04She makes me feel good about myself.
00:40:06She's...
00:40:07She's Mabel.
00:40:08And I actually like her for who she is.
00:40:09And I actually like her for who she is.
00:40:18What about our engagement?
00:40:21Julie...
00:40:24When Fiona left, I was lost.
00:40:26I was lost.
00:40:28I would never marry you having some fleeting feelings for her.
00:40:31That's...
00:40:32That's not right for either one of us.
00:40:33No, no.
00:40:34You don't determine that.
00:40:35Jonathan, 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.
00:40:46Nothing.
00:40:47I was just saying that...
00:40:48Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:40:49I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:40:50You're delusional.
00:40:51Did you?
00:40:52This is silly.
00:40:53Baby...
00:40:54We'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?
00:40:56Just sleep this off and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:41:17Hey, give me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.
00:41:25It's urgent.
00:41:31The hospital's footage was erased.
00:41:33But 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.
00:41:45Julie.
00:41:46Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?
00:41:48No, don't bother.
00:41:49Any news on Mabel's location?
00:41:54She just purchased tickets for many destinations.
00:41:58Where is she currently?
00:42:00Last known location...
00:42:02She's in a cab to JFK Airport.
00:42:03Get the car ready.
00:42:04Now.
00:42:14Okay, pull over. Right here. Stop.
00:42:17Mabel!
00:42:18Are you insane?
00:42:19What the hell are you doing?
00:42:26Mabel, where are you?
00:42:27Jonathan.
00:42:28Don't go.
00:42:33Goodbye.
00:42:34Wait, Mabel! Mabel!
00:42:35What?
00:42:36What?
00:42:37What?
00:42:38What?
00:42:43Did you know about Mabel's departure?
00:42:46I know she left with Ryan Anderson, the servant's son.
00:42:50It's a good match. You should be happy for her.
00:42:52Were you part of this?
00:42:53Yes.
00:42:56Jonathan.
00:42:57Mabel made her own choice.
00:42:59No one pushed her.
00:43:01She has her life.
00:43:02We have ours.
00:43:04They don't intersect.
00:43:06Remember, you have responsibilities.
00:43:08The wedding's next month.
00:43:10Well, I'll marry Julie.
00:43:12I won't be a pawn in your plan.
00:43:16I 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!
00:43:25I know it's already too late.
00:43:27But my feelings for her are real.
00:43:31I'll wait for her.
00:43:33I'll wait as long as it takes because this is my life!
00:43:38And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:43:58Mabel, turn it off.
00:44:03Mabel!
00:44:05Okay, 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. That's why I said I programmed you too well.
00:44:18Show off.
00:44:32The driver is ten minutes away.
00:44:36Cut it.
00:44:38Put some clothes on.
00:44:42You can't see me, right?
00:44:44Don't need to.
00:44:46I know you too well.
00:44:48I can make you more dumber.
00:44:49Heard that.
00:44:52Incoming call from...
00:44:54Mrs. Whiteford.
00:44:56Put it through.
00:44:58Mr. Whiteford.
00:44:59It's urgent.
00:45:00Please come home.
00:45:01Your mother's condition is critical.
00:45:13What happened?
00:45:14She suffered a stroke last week.
00:45:17Mom.
00:45:18Mom.
00:45:20She'll recover, right?
00:45:21She's alright for now.
00:45:23But she might not speak again.
00:45:25What?
00:45:27A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford.
00:45:29She's lucky she's even breathing.
00:45:33Sweet.
00:45:35Hi.
00:45:36What can I do to help?
00:45:41Keep her calm.
00:45:42She's a fighter.
00:45:44She might be able to pull through.
00:45:47See me?
00:45:50I'm here.
00:45:53Mabel, this is my father who I've been telling you about.
00:45:56Mabel, it's such a pleasure.
00:45:58Ryan's told me so much about you.
00:46:00Likewise.
00:46:01He's going on about those unique seeds that you've been planting.
00:46:04He's kind of nerdy sometimes.
00:46:07Oh, so nerdy.
00:46:08Mabel!
00:46:20Hey.
00:46:22When did you return?
00:46:24Mabel, we can leave here.
00:46:26No need.
00:46:28We're just chatting.
00:46:30Jonathan, 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.
00:46:41It's all behind us.
00:46:46Hey, Jonathan.
00:46:47They're just here to visit an old man.
00:46:49Isn't that okay?
00:46:51Dad, 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.
00:46:56I see you two.
00:46:58You live together, huh?
00:47:00It's none of 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.
00:47:11Nothing I need to meet.
00:47:13Mabel.
00:47:19We can talk about it, you know.
00:47:21About the product launch?
00:47:23My only concern is the interface.
00:47:24It's not user-friendly enough.
00:47:26Mabel, it's okay to be upset with Jonathan.
00:47:29No need to hide it.
00:47:30He's just a competitor now.
00:47:32Speaking of which, the new app at White4Tech 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.
00:47:41Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:47:47He broke my heart once.
00:47:49I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:48:02This is Mabel.
00:48:03Head of Creatives.
00:48:04Nice to meet the team.
00:48:05We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.
00:48:08Your products are so exciting.
00:48:12We always try our very best to ensure...
00:48:15Good morning.
00:48:17What are you doing here?
00:48:19Mr. Whiteford, welcome.
00:48:22Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.
00:48:25He'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.
00:48:32Considering 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.
00:48:43His insight is invaluable.
00:48:46Do you mind if I take a seat? I love being part of the creative process.
00:48:48What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:50At the end of the day, our product is really exciting and thank you all so much for spending your afternoon with us at Nova Tech.
00:49:04We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:49:06Well, 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.
00:49:25I don't think it's my place to say more.
00:49:29If we always play it safe, we'll never achieve perfection.
00:49:34You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:49:37It's a strong product, but not yet a market leader.
00:49:42But there's potential.
00:49:44Your menu needs more clarity.
00:49:47It's affecting your overall product.
00:49:49It needs to improve the interactive system.
00:49:52It's far too average.
00:49:54And the interface needs to be more user-friendly, you know this.
00:49:57But overall, truly, truly, well done.
00:50:04Proud of you.
00:50:06Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.
00:50:08Perfect.
00:50:09Sorry.
00:50:10I sometimes get carried away with, uh, talented teams.
00:50:17Well then, let's crunch some numbers, shall we?
00:50:21What are we looking at, budget-wise?
00:50:30Hey, great job on today's pitch.
00:50:33It was a team effort.
00:50:34You still have some work to do, though?
00:50:36Looking forward to launching it.
00:50:38Jonathan's non-stop.
00:50:39Ready to get some rest.
00:50:42Wow.
00:50:44You still had time to find the handsome lawyer.
00:50:47Wait.
00:50:48You knew about it.
00:50:49Ryan, you are the only guy who hasn't made a pass at me.
00:50:53I had my suspicions.
00:50:55I thought Barbara set us up for that reason, but...
00:50:58She's clueless.
00:50:59Still hoping for a wedding.
00:51:02Um, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:51:04Absolutely.
00:51:05And hey, if you knew anything, especially about Jonathan,
00:51:08just ask.
00:51:09That is all behind me.
00:51:10Don't worry.
00:51:11Okay.
00:51:12I'll...
00:51:15Herrn.
00:51:16But, ha, it's-
00:51:17It's better.
00:51:18It's two players.
00:51:19No.
00:51:20I'm not.
00:51:21I'm happy.
00:51:22I'm happy.
00:51:24What's the next one?
00:51:26Yeah.
00:51:27Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:51:34Just a coincidence, Miss Morris.
00:51:36See, um, I live here too.
00:51:39Yeah, right.
00:51:44Hey!
00:51:57Can you give me some space?
00:52:01Must be a neighbor, Lee.
00:52:05When did you move here?
00:52:07Because I was under the impression that this space housed one.
00:52:13Now it housed two.
00:52:22Oh, what a coincidence.
00:52:24I live here too.
00:52:27Guess what?
00:52:28My passcode is still Fiona.
00:52:30Is his passcode still Fiona?
00:52:33Stop it.
00:52:34Why do you care?
00:52:42Turn the lights, Mabel.
00:52:46That'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?
00:52:54Good night, Mabel.
00:53:06Need a ride with Miss 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.
00:53:29The deal was a quiet ride.
00:53:32No.
00:53:34You know, I have a tip for your product, if you're interested.
00:53:41Okay, fine.
00:53:42What is it?
00:53:43Your interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:53:45The uniform font size is causing confusion, but a little variation can 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.
00:54:13Please come home.
00:54:13Your mother's condition is critical.
00:54:15Her 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?
00:54:36We'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.
00:54:56Shut up.
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?
00:55:08We're taking good care of you.
00:55:10My son.
00:55:13I'm truly sorry.
00:55:20You're the best mom I could have ever had.
00:55:25I want you to be happy.
00:55:29I am happy.
00:55:31I'm happy.
00:55:34After Fiona.
00:55:35I saw how you suffered.
00:55:38I regret so many.
00:55:43I overlooked things.
00:55:48After Fiona's death.
00:55:51And you changed so much.
00:55:55What do you mean, mom?
00:55:58Just promise me you'll be happy.
00:56:01With Mabel or anyone else.
00:56:05Promise me.
00:56:06that it's time you learned the truth about everything.
00:56:16Oh my god.
00:56:24It's official.
00:56:25Our wife just died.
00:56:27Really?
00:56:28What happened?
00:56:29It was sudden.
00:56:31John and the wife just confirmed it.
00:56:33Are you okay?
00:56:35Um.
00:56:38I have to.
00:56:39Go.
00:56:39Take the date off.
00:56:40Facial recognition successful.
00:57:02Welcome, Mabel.
00:57:05Facial recognition, huh?
00:57:06So, Ben.
00:57:16Why are you here?
00:57:17I saw the news.
00:57:26Are you okay?
00:57:28I'll manage.
00:57:30Do you need anything?
00:57:31Do you want to talk?
00:57:32Why are you here?
00:57:34Is it because you care?
00:57:35I 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.
00:57:49Please don't go.
00:57:50Please.
00:57:51Have you been drinking?
00:57:53Jonathan!
00:57:53This is so inappropriate and legal.
00:57:55Mabel!
00:57:55Mabel, listen!
00:57:56Listening.
00:57:57Mabel signing in.
00:57:59How can I help, Jonathan?
00:58:02Son.
00:58:05What 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, wait a second.
00:58:24I'm sorry.
00:58:26I'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.
00:58:35This is...
00:58:37This is too much.
00:58:41This isn't just obsession.
00:58:42This is unhealthy.
00:58:43I know.
00:58:44It's wrong.
00:58:48Please.
00:58:48I'll never bother you again.
00:58:50Just...
00:58:50Just...
00:58:51Give me some time and I'll go.
00:58:52I swear.
00:58:54Are you okay, Jonathan?
00:58:59Yes.
00:59:01Yes.
00:59:05You're right about the rain.
00:59:18Outstanding, Mabel.
00:59:38This product will be a hit.
00:59:41You know Mr. Whiteford today?
00:59:47Yes.
00:59:47He wished to come, but couldn't make it.
00:59:50He was caught up with family matters.
00:59:53Did you hear about his mother?
00:59:55Good morning.
00:59:57Good morning.
01:00:01I'm here to announce the passing of my mother, Barbara Whiteford, due to a severe stroke.
01:00:10It's a challenging time for our family and we appreciate your thoughts.
01:00:13While we mourn, I also need to address serious matters involving Julie Miller, a close associate of our family.
01:00:23Years ago, Fiona Miller, my then-girlfriend, and I developed a system named after her that laid the foundation for Whiteford Tech.
01:00:31Her untimely death, I've recently learned, was orchestrated by her sister, Julie Miller, with my mother's knowledge.
01:00:42Moreover, Julie Miller has been involved in other immoral acts.
01:00:48She hired gang members for violent acts and caused deep harm to someone close to my heart.
01:00:55I'm not seeking forgiveness for the family.
01:00:59I only want justice.
01:01:01Julie now stands trial for her actions.
01:01:04The Fiona system, pivotal in uncovering these truths, will now be decommissioned and made publicly available for the advancement of technology.
01:01:15It's time for fresh perspectives.
01:01:16I'm stepping down.
01:01:22Whiteford Tech will now be under Nova, led by Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morse, whose leadership and vision I trust.
01:01:31This will be my last public appearance.
01:01:33All my shares in Whiteford Tech will be transferred to Mabel Morse.
01:01:38Future is in her hands. Thank you.
01:01:43Did you know about this?
01:01:46So that's it.
01:01:49We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.
01:01:52Hey Jonathan, sup?
01:02:17Hey, why did you leave the company and all of your shares?
01:02:24What the...
01:02:24Too harsh.
01:02:27Facial recognition successful.
01:02:30Welcome, Mabel.
01:02:40Wait.
01:02:43Where's Jonathan?
01:02:44He has moved away.
01:02:48He is, I quote, giving you space.
01:02:53He moved?
01:02:54Where?
01:02:56I'm afraid I don't know.
01:03:00He really left everything behind.
01:03:04He said it would be for the best.
01:03:07He'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.
01:03:45I'll slow down once we've got more skilled people like this one working for us.
01:03:54Facial recognition successful.
01:04:15Welcome, Mabel.
01:04:28Nice work, Jonathan.
01:04:30Mabel.
01:04:31Hi.
01:04:34How did you...
01:04:35Weeks ago, we discovered a mysterious programmer.
01:04:39Their work was outstanding.
01:04:41I just had to know who it was.
01:04:45Sorry.
01:04:47I, uh...
01:04:48Got bored.
01:04:49Wanted something to do.
01:04:51Your coding gave you away.
01:04:53It felt familiar.
01:04:55Like you.
01:04:55The 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?
01:05:05Don't you miss it?
01:05:08I wanted to fix 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.
01:05:22I knew you wouldn't forgive me if I left that.
01:05:26I needed to distance myself from you.
01:05:28It was the only way I knew how to forgive you.
01:05:32You succeeded?
01:05:36Then good.
01:05:43Joey.
01:05:46At Novatec, we offer competitive pay.
01:05:49And flexible schedules with remote opportunities and free meals.
01:05:56Sounds good.
01:05:58There's more.
01:05:59We have benefits, like pending leave and child care support.
01:06:05And fun company events.
01:06:08So, Jonathan Whiteford, how would you feel about joining Novatec?
01:06:14As an executive?
01:06:17No, as staff.
01:06:18But I would be thrilled to have you as a senior programmer.
01:06:23Pretty good offer.
01:06:26Also, there are no restrictions about relationships with colleagues.
01:06:35So, if you happen to like someone at work, it's cool.
01:06:42That's good to know.
01:06:42You're a good shop.
