00:00:00Today's biggest news, Jonathan Whiteford, the city's golden bachelor, is set to marry his longtime fiancée, 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.

00:00:40You smoking cigarettes?

00:00:44It's an important meeting. We 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.

00:00:55I had never had Mediterranean food before.

00:01:01So he immediately takes me to this restaurant on 45th and...

00:01:05Mmm, Jonathan, he's quite the romantic.

00:01:08And then what?

00:01:09Oh.

00:01:11Maple, right?

00:01:13Sorry I didn't take your seat. Come join us.

00:01:15We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.

00:01:19Oh, Maple would know. She schedules everything for Jonathan.

00:01:22Oh, right. His personal assistant. It's nice to meet you. I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiancée.

00:01:31Nice to meet you, Miss Miller.

00:01:34Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal. I take this as...

00:01:39Oh, wait.

00:01:40I've read so many wonderful things about you, Mabel.

00:01:45Julie.

00:01:47What are you doing here?

00:01:48It's just a surprise visit for my lovely fiancée.

00:02:02Julie, 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?

00:02:14Yes, 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.

00:02:21Feel up for it?

00:02:23Absolutely.

00:02:26Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.

00:02:27I need formalities. Come on, let's go.

00:02:30We're going to be late.

00:02:34Always work first with him, huh?

00:02:35Ooh, ooh.

00:02:38Oh, well, well.

00:02:52Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Mabel.

00:02:55Well, I learned from the best.

00:02:57I think.

00:03:00I think.

00:03:13Adam, is he as usual, Jonathan?

00:03:16Mom!

00:03:16I thought we agreed on calling first.

00:03:20Since when do I need permission to see my son, hmm?

00:03:25What's the matter?

00:03:26We are hosting a joint family dinner with the Millers.

00:03:30You and Julie are expected to be there.

00:03:32We agreed to delay the engagement.

00:03:34This is not up for debate.

00:03:36You will attend the family dinner.

00:03:37And you should join us well, Mabel.

00:04:02A toast.

00:04:04To the union.

00:04:05Yes.

00:04:07Mabel, can you pull me some wine?

00:04:11Mabel's a guest.

00:04:12Of course.

00:04:13Miss Miller?

00:04:14Soon to be Mrs. Whiteford.

00:04:18Dad, I'm still your daughter.

00:04:20We are so excited to welcome you into our family.

00:04:26This is the first joyful dinner we've had since Fiona.

00:04:32With Jonathan and Julie together, it almost feels like Fiona is with us here again.

00:04:46Mom.

00:04:47We are so looking forward to this marriage.

00:04:53I'm full.

00:04:55Please enjoy.

00:04:56Enjoy.

00:05:02You okay?

00:05:13Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:05:17I thought you were someone else.

00:05:19Who are you looking for?

00:05:21Jonathan Whiteford.

00:05:22The owner of the mansion.

00:05:24You, uh, must be his girlfriend.

00:05:27No, just his assistant.

00:05:29I see.

00:05:30I'm Ryan.

00:05:31My father is the gardener here.

00:05:33I know the house really well.

00:05:34I actually may be able to help you.

00:05:36Jonathan has a few favorite spots around here.

00:05:39Though he doesn't visit much nowadays, he does have quite a few properties.

00:05:44Yes, he prefers to live alone.

00:05:46Is that so?

00:05:47Oh, good.

00:05:48You've met.

00:05:50I was thinking of setting you two up on a date.

00:05:53You make a cute couple.

00:06:03A date?

00:06:05Yes, Mabel.

00:06:07Ryan's a fine young man, and you're a diligent worker.

00:06:10You make a good match.

00:06:11Well, it's a kind offer, but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now.

00:06:18No offense.

00:06:19None taken.

00:06:20Anyway, I should go find Jonathan.

00:06:22He has a very early meeting.

00:06:27Mabel, you're a smart girl.

00:06:30I know how busy you've been serving my son.

00:06:34What fun you've had.

00:06:36I don't understand.

00:06:37Let me clarify.

00:06:38You're barely a side dish.

00:06:41Now the main course is served.

00:06:44Stay away from my son.

00:06:47Or lose your position at the company and be blacklisted elsewhere.

00:06:51Have I made myself clear?

00:06:57Now, about you and Ryan.

00:07:00You're quite the pair.

00:07:01I can foresee a wedding in the near future.

00:07:21Morning.

00:07:22The files are ready for you to sign.

00:07:26Were you okay last night?

00:07:34What's on my schedule for today?

00:07:39One meeting in the morning, two in the afternoon.

00:07:42And Julie wants a dinner date.

00:07:47I've set up calendar alerts.

00:07:48You're wearing a new perfume today.

00:08:04We apply to it later.

00:08:06Yes.

00:08:08Miss Whiteford set me up for a date.

00:08:10It's after work.

00:08:11Oh, a date.

00:08:14Are you joking?

00:08:15You're not the only one inclined for a bit of romance.

00:08:19Jonathan.

00:08:30Before we start, you should know that I am a messy eater.

00:08:35And I hate cats.

00:08:37I'm also indifferent to humanity and climate change.

00:08:41We can just agree that this wasn't a match.

00:08:44And that's your strategy for tonight?

00:08:47Tell me more about yourself.

00:08:49What do you want to know?

00:08:50Family?

00:08:51My mom died and my father is a gambler.

00:08:54You'd inherit his debts at the altar.

00:08:58Delightful company you are.

00:08:59I'm a walking white flag.

00:09:00Who knows?

00:09:01I might even become an abuser.

00:09:03An abuser?

00:09:05Do you use ropes?

00:09:07What?

00:09:08You see, I enjoy being tied up, so...

00:09:11I'm rather intrigued.

00:09:12Weirdo.

00:09:15It says Miss Monsterdate.

00:09:18Mateball.

00:09:27You're Jack's son.

00:09:30He was such a talented gardener.

00:09:33A favorite servant of mine growing up.

00:09:35If you don't mind, we're on a date.

00:09:38Oh, and having fun, I see.

00:09:39We...

00:09:40We would be.

00:09:42Without any interruptions.

00:09:45Eh.

00:09:49I'm on my way.

00:09:56Okay.

00:09:56Sorry.

00:09:57I...

00:09:57I have to go.

00:10:01Mabel.

00:10:01Pull up.

00:10:06Excuse me.

00:10:07Hi.

00:10:07I'm here for my father, Mr. Morris.

00:10:09What happened?

00:10:10He's stable now.

00:10:12Creditors got rough with him.

00:10:14Broke a couple ribs, but he's breathing.

00:10:16Um...

00:10:17How do I pay for the bills?

00:10:20They've been paid for.

00:10:22By whom?

00:10:23By whom?

00:10:23Ryan, what are you doing here?

00:10:30To finish the date.

00:10:31I'm starving.

00:10:33It's a very expensive date.

00:10:36I'll pay you back.

00:10:38Later.

00:10:38For now, let's get something to eat.

00:10:40So, you grew up in the Whiteford Mansion?

00:10:53Yeah, I did.

00:10:55I helped my dad with the gardens, and we planted exotic flowers from around the world.

00:11:00Paradise for plant geeks, for sure.

00:11:02I'm super nerdy.

00:11:03You were serious about your father's debts, right here?

00:11:13He was a gambler.

00:11:15He's changed, but it still haunts us.

00:11:19I just hope to one day settle the debts.

00:11:21You are not the terrible person you made yourself out to be.

00:11:25You've known me for one day.

00:11:27Hold your conclusions, Sherlock.

00:11:30Well, this is me.

00:11:33Um, goodnight, nerd.

00:11:37Goodnight, monster date.

00:11:47It's late.

00:11:49Where you been?

00:11:56Were you out with them all night?

00:11:58It's my personal time.

00:12:00I don't have to report everything to you.

00:12:02So, it went well, then.

00:12:03Your mother set us up, Jonathan.

00:12:06How could I refuse?

00:12:07Good.

00:12:08So, then, it was all just for show.

00:12:10Well, I actually had a really nice time.

00:12:12I might consider a second date.

00:12:15I can still smell Julie's perfume.

00:12:17Then come shower it off me.

00:12:18You went on a date with another man.

00:12:22And you took another woman to a restaurant that I recommended.

00:12:25Jealous?

00:12:26Not as much as you.

00:12:27No, I think it was.

00:12:43No, Iífico.

00:12:45Yeah.

00:12:46Yeah.

00:12:48Good morning.

00:13:02Coffee or tea?

00:13:05Uh, coffee.

00:13:10You never make me breakfast.

00:13:15Last night must have been record-breaking.

00:13:18What do you mean?

00:13:23I'm breaking up with you.

00:13:28What do you mean?

00:13:29Well, more of an undying than a breakup, really.

00:13:32We need to stop, whatever this is.

00:13:35What about our last night?

00:13:38Consider it a breakup gift.

00:13:39Breakup? We weren't even together.

00:13:41Exactly.

00:13:46Shouldn't be too hard to move on.

00:13:48Happy 7th Anniversary, Mabel!

00:14:03Anniversary?

00:14:06I mean, 7 years at Webber.

00:14:08Time flies, doesn't it?

00:14:09Wow, it really has been that long.

00:14:12Time to cut the cake, Mabel.

00:14:13Hey!

00:14:13You guys are so sweet.

00:14:15What are you doing?

00:14:16What are you doing?

00:14:18Boss, it's her special day.

00:14:20So?

00:14:21We have the meeting with Harbour in an hour.

00:14:24Do your jobs!

00:14:25Come on, come on, we're going, let's go, talk to your girls.

00:14:31Khalil!

00:14:47Come on, boss!

00:15:18If someone might see us, tell me you don't want this.

00:15:31Happy anniversary, Mabel.

00:15:44It was fun while it lasted.

00:15:51Hello, this is Mabel.

00:15:58Evening, Mabel.

00:16:00Ryan, what an honor.

00:16:02You want to grab dinner together? Just as friends, of course.

00:16:05I'm not up for another dramatic date.

00:16:08Sure, why not?

00:16:10Where are we going?

00:16:11I know the perfect spot.

00:16:12I'll text you.

00:16:13See you soon.

00:16:14I'm so glad we got to try this place again.

00:16:19This is amazing.

00:16:21I know.

00:16:22I think it's got some drugs in it or something.

00:16:24It'd be weird if they didn't.

00:16:25How could it be so addictive?

00:16:27How have you been lately?

00:16:30Can't complain.

00:16:32Because you signed an NDA?

00:16:34Or because you are happy?

00:16:36The latter.

00:16:37Although, if I did sign an NDA, I couldn't really share otherwise, could I?

00:16:42Good eye.

00:16:43This is true.

00:16:45Hey, I asked you out on a date for a reason.

00:16:48I think we would make excellent business partners.

00:16:51Business partners?

00:16:52Yeah.

00:16:53Well, let's just say our first date was rather chaotic.

00:16:56So I wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you.

00:17:00I'm Ryan Anderson.

00:17:01I'm the founder of Novatec.

00:17:03And I would like for you to join as head of the creative strategies.

00:17:07Novatec.

00:17:12But I thought you said you were-

00:17:17The gardener's son.

00:17:18Yes, I still am, but I'm not defined by what my father does.

00:17:22Even if Barbara thinks so.

00:17:24After years of education and, well, hard work, I find myself at MIT and started my own company.

00:17:32It's good to own something of your own, right?

00:17:34That's incredible, Ryan.

00:17:36And I'm grateful for the opportunity, but I already have a job.

00:17:40And I'm just an assistant.

00:17:43So I'm sure there are other people much more qualified than me out there.

00:17:47You're not just anyone.

00:17:48You're the key success to the Whitefruits project.

00:17:51It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.

00:17:55So, cheers to chasing what you truly deserve.

00:18:00Miss Whiteford, um, Jonathan's left for the-

00:18:19I'm here to see you.

00:18:21How was everything with Ryan?

00:18:23It was pleasant.

00:18:25Thank you for the introduction.

00:18:27When do you plan to marry him?

00:18:29We've only just met.

00:18:33I've warned you.

00:18:35No marriage.

00:18:38No job at Whiteford Tech.

00:18:41And you will be banned from the industry.

00:18:43I've ended things with Jonathan.

00:18:45Then marry Ryan to prove it.

00:18:48I've done my research as well, Mabel.

00:18:52Leave my son, and I'll clear all your father's debts.

00:18:58If not, those seeking him will find him.

00:19:03Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance, not me.

00:19:08I don't think you understand the situation.

00:19:12You are nothing to Jonathan.

00:19:15At most, a shadow of his past pain.

00:19:19A reminder of a heartbreak.

00:19:22What do you mean?

00:19:24You don't know, do you?

00:19:28Mary Ryan, it's my last warning.

00:19:37What?

00:19:50Did I miss some meeting?

00:19:54No, I just...

00:19:56Your driver couldn't get a hold of you.

00:19:57He was concerned.

00:19:59Mr. Whiteford, it's October 15th.

00:20:02Shit, shit.

00:20:03Always take the day off.

00:20:04It's okay.

00:20:06The car's out front.

00:20:07No, it's not okay.

00:20:08I never forget...

00:20:11Just...

00:20:12Clear everything for today.

00:20:13Okay.

00:20:14I've kept your calendar clear, as always.

00:20:16Okay, thank you.

00:20:18Um...

00:20:19The car, Mr. Whiteford.

00:20:20Right.

00:20:21I'll, uh, see you.

00:20:22At the office?

00:20:23Right.

00:20:29Hello?

00:20:30Where are you?

00:20:31Our server is dead!

00:20:32Oh, uh, okay.

00:20:33I'm on my way.

00:20:39The entire server crashed!

00:20:40Where is Mr. Whiteford?

00:20:43Hey, what happened?

00:20:44We are under attack.

00:20:45We need a system reboot.

00:20:46Where is Mr. Whiteford?

00:20:47We need his admin code.

00:20:48Now!

00:20:49Okay, he's out of the office.

00:20:50Um, let me just try contacting him, okay?

00:20:56We need that code.

00:20:57Do you have access to it?

00:20:58No, that code is highly confidential.

00:21:00Jonathan is the sole owner.

00:21:01Um...

00:21:02Let me try.

00:21:11What else?

00:21:12We're completely offline.

00:21:13Come on, Mabel!

00:21:14You know you the best!

00:21:15Wait a moment.

00:21:19Try Fiona.

00:21:21F-I-O-N-A.

00:21:24Fiona.

00:21:26Give it a shot.

00:21:29Remember that awkward dinner at the Whiteford's?

00:21:30Since Fiona, you are nothing to Tom at hand.

00:21:31At most, a shadow of his past pain.

00:21:34A reminder of a heartbreak.

00:21:36Hello, Jonathan.

00:21:37Good to see you.

00:21:38How may I help you?

00:21:39Hello, Jonathan.

00:21:40Good to see you.

00:21:41How may I help you?

00:21:42Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?

00:21:44Oh, no.

00:21:45That's not Mabel.

00:21:46Oh, no.

00:21:47That's not Mabel.

00:21:48That's not Mabel.

00:21:49That's my sister Fiona.

00:21:51That's my sister Fiona.

00:21:52Jonathan's first love.

00:21:53Oh, no.

00:21:54That's not Mabel.

00:21:55That's my sister Fiona.

00:21:56Jonathan's first love.

00:21:57You are the son of Mabel.

00:21:58Okay.

00:22:00I'm a kid, she will...

00:22:03No.

00:22:04What's her?

00:22:05You are the son of Mabel?

00:22:06Hello, Jonathan.

00:22:07Good to see you.

00:22:08How may I help you?

00:22:09Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?

00:22:10Oh, no.

00:22:11That's not Mabel.

00:22:14That's my sister Fiona.

00:22:17Jonathan's first love.

00:22:20Uh, next, Mabel Morris?

00:22:48Hello.

00:22:50You know, coding demands intense focus and absolute silence.

00:23:00That's why having a capable assistant to help with other things like interviews is crucial.

00:23:12Shona.

00:23:18I'm Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford.

00:23:21Here's my resume.

00:23:25Mabel.

00:23:26It's nice to meet you.

00:23:27When can you start?

00:23:43Tomorrow.

00:23:45No, actually, today.

00:23:47Welcome to Wife at Tech.

00:23:48Mabel.

00:23:50Mabel.

00:23:52Mabel.

00:23:54Mabel.

00:23:55Are you alright?

00:24:03I know.

00:24:05It's shocking, isn't it?

00:24:07You know, when they mention you years ago, I was concerned.

00:24:11I thought you had actually fallen for someone.

00:24:14But then I saw you, and I knew there was nothing to worry about.

00:24:19To Jonathan, you're just a reminder of my sister.

00:24:23He doesn't love you.

00:24:25Mabel.

00:24:26You're nothing but a shadow to him.

00:24:27You are, at best, a placebo.

00:24:29Oh, Mabel.

00:24:34Did you actually think you stood a chance?

00:24:40You pathetic slut.

00:24:42Fuck off.

00:24:44Oh, do you know about today?

00:24:50I don't want to know.

00:24:52Fiona died today, seven years ago.

00:24:54He visits her grave on this day, every year.

00:25:00You see?

00:25:02You're just a joke.

00:25:14Hey, Mabel.

00:25:27What's wrong?

00:25:33There was an attack on the system at work today.

00:25:37Okay.

00:25:38Well, since you're here and not at the office, I assume it's resolved.

00:25:42Your passcode.

00:25:46What is it?

00:25:48What?

00:25:49The code, Jonathan, what is it?

00:25:51That's none of your business.

00:25:56Come on.

00:25:57Tell me about this attack.

00:26:04So, it's been fixed?

00:26:07We had to restart the system.

00:26:10System reboot.

00:26:11The code, I see.

00:26:13It asked for an admin code.

00:26:15Why didn't you call me?

00:26:16I tried to, but it didn't go through.

00:26:20Signal down there.

00:26:22We got the code.

00:26:24It did.

00:26:26How?

00:26:28Luckily,

00:26:30Julie was there.

00:26:31So, you've seen?

00:26:38Fiona?

00:26:43Yeah.

00:26:48Fiona?

00:26:51Yeah.

00:26:53Mabel.

00:26:54I know you have a lot of questions.

00:26:58Actually,

00:26:58I found a lot of answers today.

00:27:04I thought I was lucky.

00:27:08To have that job.

00:27:11To work at the company.

00:27:12To be by your side.

00:27:14To enter a relationship with you or whatever that was.

00:27:23But it turns out,

00:27:25I was just a replacement.

00:27:27No.

00:27:27A replacement for some sick,

00:27:30twisted obsession that you can't get over.

00:27:32I'm shadowing for a dead girlfriend.

00:27:36All those years.

00:27:39When you're dead.

00:27:42You're fucking a ghost.

00:27:44Enough!

00:27:44Don't speak.

00:27:48Don't use that term.

00:27:49Dead.

00:27:50Ghost.

00:27:50Yeah.

00:27:52That's the reality of it, Jonathan.

00:27:54She is both.

00:28:01I'm Mabel Moritz.

00:28:04I'm not...

00:28:06I'm not your dead girlfriend.

00:28:08I'm not Fiona.

00:28:14You're right.

00:28:19You're not her.

00:28:21Nobody is.

00:28:32I've submitted my resignation.

00:28:36Thank you for the opportunity.

00:28:39Years ago, I learned a lot.

00:28:41Bye, Mr. Whiteford.

00:28:44Bye, Mr. Whiteford.

00:28:56Fuck!

00:28:57Fuck!

00:29:11You said you were a friend of Mr. Moritz's?

00:29:15A friend of his daughter, Mabel, actually.

00:29:16Ah, yes, Mabel.

00:29:18She's quite sweet and caring.

00:29:20Absolutely.

00:29:21She asked me to come check on Scott.

00:29:24How's his condition?

00:29:25He's well.

00:29:28With a little rest, he should recover fully.

00:29:31That's good news.

00:29:41He's at Silverpine Hospital.

00:29:45Tell his creditors.

00:29:47I knew you had an alien.

00:29:50Um, Mrs. Whiteford, I was just...

00:29:52Spare me the excuses, Julie.

00:29:56I've seen what you're capable of.

00:29:59Years ago.

00:30:00Uh, Mrs. Whiteford, there's been a misunderstanding.

00:30:12Oh, enough, Julie.

00:30:13Cut it.

00:30:16Fiona was sweet.

00:30:19But too naive for our world.

00:30:21Her innocence was a liability.

00:30:22I tried separating Jonathan and Fiona for years.

00:30:28But Jonathan was so invested.

00:30:30Even ignoring this family to pursue his little tech project.

00:30:34All encouraged by Fiona.

00:30:36Luckily, his project succeeded.

00:30:39But not without him taking down his father's legacy first.

00:30:43We could have been so much more influential.

00:30:45So powerful.

00:30:49But, just when I thought all was lost,

00:30:53Fiona was out of the picture.

00:30:56Her death was no coincidence, Julie.

00:30:59God plays no favors.

00:31:01I see your hand in her car accident.

00:31:06How long have you known?

00:31:08Oh, Julie.

00:31:10I've known from the start.

00:31:12What happened?

00:31:17He's, his debt collector's caught up to him.

00:31:21Are you okay?

00:31:23Prepare for the worst.

00:31:23He's lost a lot of blood.

00:31:26How did he find him?

00:31:27Someone must tip them off.

00:31:29We're investigating.

00:31:30We'll do our best to locate his attackers.

00:31:31I've warned you.

00:31:34I've warned you.

00:31:35This is seeking him.

00:31:36I don't know.

00:31:38It's Barbara Whiteford.

00:31:40The Barbara Whiteford, queen of Manhattan.

00:31:43She's after my father.

00:31:44That's a serious accusation, ma'am.

00:31:47Respectfully, your father's not significant enough for her to waste.

00:31:50You don't understand.

00:31:51I got too close to her son and she told me.

00:31:54Please calm down.

00:31:55No, you don't understand.

00:31:56Please.

00:31:57Please.

00:31:57Miss Morris.

00:31:57Unfortunately, we couldn't save your father.

00:32:02He passed away.

00:32:07No.

00:32:08No.

00:32:11What?

00:32:11No.

00:32:16No.

00:32:27Mom.

00:32:37After you left, Dad was never the same.

00:32:45When you left us,

00:32:48I lost him.

00:32:54I always thought

00:32:56it would get better.

00:33:01But it did.

00:33:05I'm sorry.

00:33:06I feel like a nobody.

00:33:14I failed.

00:33:16I failed at everything.

00:33:26Leave me alone.

00:33:37You got food from your favorite place.

00:33:42You don't have to talk to me, but

00:33:43please eat something.

00:33:49Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.

00:33:51I'm only going to ask you once

00:34:02and I'll leave you be.

00:34:05But are you okay?

00:34:07Do you want to talk about it?

00:34:08I'm managing.

00:34:12The food helped.

00:34:17You don't have to smile if you don't want to.

00:34:20It's so good to feel vulnerable.

00:34:23We all have our moments.

00:34:25It's just...

00:34:26It's been incredibly hard.

00:34:31I get it.

00:34:32And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.

00:34:37I've lost a loved one, too.

00:34:39Great.

00:34:39Do you have a dead girlfriend, also?

00:34:41A dead girlfriend?

00:34:42Wait.

00:34:44You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.

00:34:46So you knew.

00:34:47You knew all this time.

00:34:48But you two are completely different.

00:34:53I didn't lose a lover.

00:34:57It was my mother I lost.

00:35:01Ryan, I'm sorry.

00:35:03It's okay.

00:35:06This whole week is just...

00:35:09Everything...

00:35:11It feels so pointless.

00:35:13And that's a natural feeling to have.

00:35:16I used to mock existentialism.

00:35:19I get it now.

00:35:21I love how intelligent you sound.

00:35:23Even now.

00:35:25Stop.

00:35:26No, seriously.

00:35:28Modern day Socrates.

00:35:31Thank you, Ryan.

00:35:42Thank you, Ryan.

00:35:43And for the food and the talk.

00:35:46Less of the food.

00:35:48It's still so addictive.

00:35:50Oh, they definitely put drugs in it.

00:35:51Yeah.

00:35:52Hey.

00:35:54Hey, if you need anything, just call me.

00:35:57I will.

00:35:58I think I just need some time to think things over.

00:36:00Well, have you considered your next steps?

00:36:04Not sure.

00:36:06Quit my job.

00:36:07Settled the debts.

00:36:08Now the world's just kind of open to me.

00:36:11Strange.

00:36:12Yeah.

00:36:13Well, there's a spot for you at Novatec.

00:36:15Sure?

00:36:16About me leading?

00:36:17You're the best one to lead it.

00:36:19Come on, just give it a shot.

00:36:21I'll think about it.

00:36:22Seriously.

00:36:23That's all I can ask.

00:36:25Okay.

00:36:31Mabel?

00:36:33Are you doing okay?

00:36:36Why are you here?

00:36:39Mabel?

00:36:41Are you doing okay?

00:36:43Why are you here?

00:36:45I saw what happened on the news and I...

00:36:47You were worried?

00:36:50Save it.

00:36:50It's none of your business.

00:36:51Mabel, please, let me just...

00:36:53I'm done.

00:36:55Listening, Jonathan.

00:36:57I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.

00:37:02And now I finally know the truth.

00:37:06I thought what we had was real.

00:37:09But I was just a pill for a wound that won't heal.

00:37:12I truly loved you, Jonathan.

00:37:25Don't come looking for me again.

00:37:29Leave me on.

00:37:31It's my final request.

00:37:39And this is the upstairs division.

00:37:42I can see you.

00:37:44What do you think?

00:37:45Love it.

00:37:45It's so lively.

00:37:48That's the goal.

00:37:49Okay, I'm in.

00:37:50But I have one condition.

00:37:52I'd like to work from a different city.

00:37:55Why is that?

00:37:56Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.

00:37:58That's where you're headed, right?

00:38:00Someone's been doing her homework.

00:38:01And for a new market, it's important to have someone you trust by your side.

00:38:06I'm listening.

00:38:07I'm listening.

00:38:08I'm listening.

00:38:08I'm listening to Tokyo, right?

00:38:10And I'm listening to Tokyo.

00:38:10Tokyo it is there.

00:38:13Welcome to the team at work.

00:38:14What an honor, Captain.

00:38:16Let me show you around.

00:38:17Sir, you have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes.

00:38:29Right.

00:38:32Bring me their pitch deck and latest progress report.

00:38:36And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion.

00:38:38Sir, Mabel doesn't work here anymore.

00:38:41Or I can get someone else to help with it.

00:38:51She can't be replaced.

00:38:55There's no one like her.

00:39:02Why don't you start in the living room?

00:39:03What?

00:39:08Hey.

00:39:09What is happening here?

00:39:10We're just doing our job, sir.

00:39:12Please don't interrupt.

00:39:14Where are these going?

00:39:15They're going to the donation.

00:39:16They only already left.

00:39:17Get out.

00:39:28Ben?

00:39:29You're a mess.

00:39:32You do not want to talk.

00:39:34Okay, you haven't been this way since Fiona.

00:39:39Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?

00:39:41Just move on.

00:39:42Find someone else.

00:39:42Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.

00:39:44She's clearly just a fill-in for Fiona.

00:39:46Nothing more than her look-alike.

00:39:48She's different.

00:39:50Funny.

00:39:51Professional.

00:39:52She makes me feel good about myself.

00:39:53She's...

00:39:54She's Mabel.

00:39:55And I actually like her for who she is.

00:39:57What about our engagement?

00:40:08Julie.

00:40:11When Fiona left, I was lost.

00:40:15I would never marry you having some fleeting feelings for her.

00:40:19That's not right for either one of us.

00:40:20No, no.

00:40:20You don't determine that.

00:40:22Jonathan, I have dreamed of our marriage since the day we met.

00:40:25I sacrificed so much for that dream.

00:40:27I lost everything.

00:40:31What do you mean by that?

00:40:31Nothing.

00:40:33Nothing.

00:40:34I just...

00:40:34I can't stand to see you, like...

00:40:36What are you hiding?

00:40:36Nothing.

00:40:37I was just saying that...

00:40:39Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?

00:40:41I don't have to answer your accusations.

00:40:42You're delusional.

00:40:43Did you?

00:40:48This is silly.

00:40:50Baby, we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?

00:40:56Okay.

00:40:57Just sleep this off, and we'll talk tomorrow.

00:41:10Hi.

00:41:10Give me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.

00:41:13It's urgent.

00:41:14The hospital's footage was erased, but a doctor remembers a young woman claiming to be Mabel's friend.

00:41:24A young woman?

00:41:25Yes, sir.

00:41:26A detailed description matches Miss Miller.

00:41:32Julie.

00:41:33Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation?

00:41:35No, don't bother.

00:41:36Any news on Mabel's location?

00:41:38She just purchased tickets for many destinations.

00:41:45Where is she currently?

00:41:47Last known location...

00:41:49She's in a cab to JFK Airport.

00:41:51Get the car ready.

00:41:51Now.

00:41:51Okay, pull over.

00:42:01Right here.

00:42:01Stop.

00:42:03Mabel!

00:42:05Are you insane?

00:42:06What the hell are you doing?

00:42:07Mabel, where are you?

00:42:14Job's dead.

00:42:15Don't go.

00:42:20Goodbye.

00:42:21Wait, Mabel!

00:42:21Mabel!

00:42:22Wait!

00:42:22Did you know about Mabel's departure?

00:42:32I know she left with Ryan Anderson, the servant's son.

00:42:37It's a good match.

00:42:38You should be happy for her.

00:42:39Were you part of this?

00:42:42Jonathan.

00:42:44Mabel made her own choice.

00:42:46No one pushed her.

00:42:48She has her life.

00:42:49We have ours.

00:42:50They don't intersect.

00:42:53Remember, you have responsibilities.

00:42:55The wedding's next month.

00:42:56I won't marry Julie.

00:42:59I won't be a pawn in your plan.

00:43:02I love Mabel.

00:43:05She's the one I want.

00:43:06She is merely a stand-in for Fiona.

00:43:08She's not!

00:43:11I know it's already too late,

00:43:13but my feelings for her are real.

00:43:18I'll wait for her.

00:43:19I'll wait as long as it takes,

00:43:21because this is my life!

00:43:25And I'll spend it with Mabel.

00:43:26Mabel, turn it off.

00:43:49Mabel!

00:43:49Okay, you lazy bone.

00:43:54Come on.

00:43:55There's a meeting to attend to.

00:43:57I programmed you too well, didn't I?

00:43:59I learned it myself.

00:44:01Exactly.

00:44:02That's why I said I programmed you too well.

00:44:04Show off.

00:44:05The driver is ten minutes away.

00:44:22Got it.

00:44:24Put some clothes on.

00:44:28You can't see me, right?

00:44:30Don't need to.

00:44:30I know you too well.

00:44:33Thank you, Mark Dumber.

00:44:35Heard that.

00:44:38Incoming call from Mrs. Whiteford.

00:44:42Put it through.

00:44:44Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent.

00:44:46Please come home.

00:44:47Your mother's condition is critical.

00:44:48What happened?

00:45:00She suffered a stroke last night.

00:45:02Mom.

00:45:04Mom.

00:45:05She'll recover, right?

00:45:06She's alright for now.

00:45:08But she might not speak again.

00:45:10What?

00:45:12A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford.

00:45:14She's lucky she's even breathing.

00:45:15What can I do to help?

00:45:26Keep her calm.

00:45:28She's a fighter.

00:45:29She might be able to pull through.

00:45:33See me?

00:45:35I'm here.

00:45:38Mabel, this is my father who I've been telling you about.

00:45:41Mabel, it's such a pleasure.

00:45:43Ryan's told me so much about you.

00:45:45Likewise.

00:45:46He's going on about those unique seeds that you've been planting.

00:45:50I...

00:45:50He's kind of nerdy sometimes.

00:45:53Oh, so nerdy.

00:45:54Mabel!

00:45:55Hey.

00:46:06When did you return?

00:46:10Mabel, we can leave with your...

00:46:11No need.

00:46:13We're just chatting.

00:46:15Jonathan, it's nice to see you.

00:46:17I was just looking for you.

00:46:19You deliberately ignored my request.

00:46:21I asked to be left alone.

00:46:23Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.

00:46:24Everything was sorted.

00:46:26It's all behind us.

00:46:28Um, hey, Jonathan, they're just here to visit an old man.

00:46:35Isn't that okay?

00:46:36Dad, this is your home as well.

00:46:38We don't need his approval.

00:46:39Actually, Jack, I was thinking you should come live in the city with us.

00:46:42Oh, I see you two.

00:46:44You live together, huh?

00:46:46It's none of your business.

00:46:47Mabel, I just wanted to...

00:46:49I see you haven't changed.

00:46:53Sorry, Jack.

00:46:54I just remembered I have a phone call that I need to meet.

00:46:57We can talk about it, you know.

00:47:06About the product launch?

00:47:08My only concern is the interface.

00:47:10It's not user-friendly enough.

00:47:11Mabel, it's okay to be upset with Jonathan.

00:47:14No need to hide it.

00:47:15He's just a competitor now.

00:47:17Speaking of which, the new app at White4Tech is dominating the charts.

00:47:20We should look into that.

00:47:21Can I ask you something?

00:47:23If you're going to say something irritating, I'm not interested.

00:47:26Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?

00:47:33He broke my heart once.

00:47:35I'm not going to give him a second chance.

00:47:46This is Mabel.

00:47:48Head of Creators.

00:47:49Nice to meet the team.

00:47:51We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.

00:47:53Your products are so exciting.

00:47:56We always try our very best to ensure...

00:47:59Good morning.

00:48:02What are you doing here?

00:48:03Mr. Whiteford.

00:48:05Welcome.

00:48:07Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.

00:48:10He's shown great interest in this product and requested to join us at this meeting.

00:48:15I hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.

00:48:16Considering the product is still under testing, we typically limit our attendance.

00:48:22He's welcome to join.

00:48:24I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.

00:48:27His insight is invaluable.

00:48:31Do you mind if I take a seat?

00:48:32I love being part of the creative process.

00:48:33What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.

00:48:42At the end of the day, our product is really exciting and thank you all so much for spending

00:48:47your afternoon with us at Nova Tech.

00:48:49We are thrilled to be doing business with you.

00:48:52Well, this sounds like a game changer.

00:48:57Congratulations.

00:48:59Mr. Whiteford, do your thoughts?

00:49:04It's good.

00:49:05Surely, as a leader in this industry, you have more to offer than good.

00:49:11I don't think it's my place to say more.

00:49:14If we always play it safe, we'll never achieve perfection.

00:49:20You've grown a lot, Mabel.

00:49:22It's a strong product, but not yet a market leader.

00:49:27But there's potential.

00:49:29Your money needs more clarity.

00:49:31Your money needs affecting your overall product.

00:49:33Your business needs to improve the interactive system.

00:49:36It's far too average.

00:49:38And the interface needs to be more user-friendly.

00:49:40You know this.

00:49:41But overall, truly, truly, well done.

00:49:48Proud of you.

00:49:51Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.

00:49:53Sorry.

00:49:54I sometimes get carried away with talented teens.

00:50:02Well then.

00:50:03Let's crunch some numbers, shall we?

00:50:05Yes, I'm sorry.

00:50:05What are we looking at budget-wise?

00:50:06Hey, great job on today's pitch.

00:50:17It was a team effort.

00:50:18We still have some work to do, though.

00:50:20Looking forward to launching it.

00:50:22But then, if it's non-stop, we're ready to get some rest.

00:50:26Wow.

00:50:28You still had time to find the handsome lawyer.

00:50:30Wait, you knew about it.

00:50:32Ryan, you are the only guy who hasn't made a pass at me.

00:50:37I had my suspicions.

00:50:38I thought Barbara set us up for that reason, but she's clueless.

00:50:42Still hoping for a wedding.

00:50:44I'll see you tomorrow.

00:50:48Absolutely.

00:50:49And hey, if you knew anything, especially about Jonathan, just ask.

00:50:53That is all behind me.

00:50:55Don't worry.

00:50:56Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?

00:51:17Just a coincidence, Ms. Morris.

00:51:20See, um, I live here, too.

00:51:24Yeah, right.

00:51:28Hey!

00:51:41Can you give me some space?

00:51:45Just for you, neighborly.

00:51:47When did you move here?

00:51:51Because I was under the impression that this space housed one.

00:51:57Now it houses two.

00:52:06Oh, what a coincidence.

00:52:09I live here, too.

00:52:11Guess what?

00:52:12My passcode is still Fiona.

00:52:14Is his passcode still Fiona?

00:52:17Stop.

00:52:17Why do you care?

00:52:26Um...

00:52:26Don't the lights, Mabel.

00:52:30That's an early night.

00:52:31Rough day?

00:52:32Actually, it's one of the best days of my life.

00:52:36Really?

00:52:37What happened?

00:52:40Good night, Mabel.

00:52:41Need a ride with St. Morris?

00:52:53No, thank you.

00:52:54I prefer to walk.

00:52:55Are you kidding?

00:52:56It's about to rain.

00:52:57Come on.

00:53:01Is he dead?

00:53:10He seemed really occupied yesterday.

00:53:13The DL was a quiet ride.

00:53:16Well, you know, I have a tip for your product, if you're interested.

00:53:25Okay, fine.

00:53:26What is it?

00:53:26The interactive interface needs a better visual hierarchy.

00:53:29The uniform font size is causing confusion, but...

00:53:32Little variation can help.

00:53:34You're right.

00:53:37We wanted simplicity, but...

00:53:38Maybe too much, though.

00:53:40It's a good approach, but...

00:53:42You need to experiment, but...

00:53:44You've always been a rule-breaker, Mabel.

00:53:46Mr. Weiford, it's urgent.

00:53:56Please come home.

00:53:57Your mother's condition is critical.

00:54:10Her condition worsened.

00:54:12We thought it would be best if you were here.

00:54:16Is there anything that could be done for her?

00:54:21We've done everything.

00:54:24Her vitals are going quickly.

00:54:26I'm so sorry.

00:54:27I'm gonna get some medicine.

00:54:29Okay?

00:54:35Mom.

00:54:36Hey.

00:54:37I'm right here.

00:54:40Chuck.

00:54:40Do you need anything?

00:54:43Is there anything we can get for you?

00:54:44I'm leaving you.

00:54:48No.

00:54:50You're fine.

00:54:51Okay, we're taking good care of you.

00:54:53My son.

00:54:56I'm truly sorry.

00:55:03You're the best mom I could have ever had.

00:55:05I want you to be happy.

00:55:12I am happy.

00:55:14I'm happy.

00:55:17After Fiona, I saw how you suffered.

00:55:22I regret so many times.

00:55:26I overlooked things after Fiona's death.

00:55:35And you changed so much.

00:55:39What do you mean, Mom?

00:55:40Just promise me you'll be happy.

00:55:44With Mabel or anyone else.

00:55:48Promise me.

00:55:54That it's time you learned the truth.

00:55:58About everything.

00:55:59Oh my god.

00:56:07It's official.

00:56:08My wife just died.

00:56:10Really?

00:56:10What happened?

00:56:12It was sudden.

00:56:14John and the wife were just confirmed it.

00:56:16Are you okay?

00:56:18Um.

00:56:20I have to.

00:56:21Go.

00:56:22Take the day off.

00:56:23Facial recognition successful.

00:56:45Welcome, Mabel.

00:56:47Facial recognition, huh?

00:56:53So, again.

00:56:59Why are you here?

00:57:06I saw the news.

00:57:08Are you okay?

00:57:11I'll manage.

00:57:12Do you need anything?

00:57:13Do you want to talk?

00:57:14Why are you here?

00:57:17Is it because you care?

00:57:19I understand what it feels like to lose a parent.

00:57:21But that's not why you're here.

00:57:24You care.

00:57:26Don't you?

00:57:27I was concerned.

00:57:29But if you're fine, I should go.

00:57:31Please don't go.

00:57:33Please.

00:57:33Have you been drinking?

00:57:35Jonathan!

00:57:36This is so inappropriate and legal.

00:57:37Mabel!

00:57:37Mabel, listen!

00:57:38Listening.

00:57:40Mabel signing in.

00:57:41How can I help, Jonathan?

00:57:44Son.

00:57:44What is that?

00:57:52Hello, Miss Morris.

00:57:53I'm Mabel.

00:57:54An AI modeled after you.

00:57:57Mabel!

00:57:57Mabel, stop!

00:58:00Wait.

00:58:01Wait.

00:58:06I'm sorry.

00:58:08I'm sorry.

00:58:09This was my way of coping with your absence.

00:58:11It was never meant to be discovered like this.

00:58:15Jonathan.

00:58:18This is...

00:58:19This is too much.

00:58:23This isn't just obsession.

00:58:24This is unhealthy.

00:58:25I know.

00:58:26It's wrong.

00:58:30Please.

00:58:30I'll never bother you again.

00:58:32Just...

00:58:33Give me some time and I'll go.

00:58:34I swear.

00:58:36Are you okay, Jonathan?

00:58:38Jonathan?

00:58:38Jonathan.

00:58:41Yes.

00:58:43Yes.

00:58:59You were right about the rain.

00:59:00I'm sorry.

00:59:11Outstanding, Mabel.

00:59:20This product will be a hit.

00:59:24Um, know Mr. Whiteford today?

00:59:28Uh, yes.

00:59:29He wished to come, but couldn't make it.

00:59:32He was caught up with family matters.

00:59:35Did you hear about his mother?

00:59:36Good morning.

00:59:43I'm here to announce the passing of my mother, Barbara Whiteford, due to a severe stroke.

00:59:52It's a challenging time for our family, and we appreciate your thoughts.

00:59:55While we mourn, I also need to address serious matters involving Julie Miller, a close associate of our family.

01:00:05Years ago, Fiona Miller, my then-girlfriend, and I developed a system named after her that laid the foundation for Whiteford Tech.

01:00:13Her untimely death, I've recently learned, was orchestrated by her sister, Julie Miller, with my mother's knowledge.

01:00:23Moreover, Julie Miller has been involved in other immoral acts.

01:00:29She hired gang members for violent acts and caused deep harm to someone close to my heart.

01:00:37I'm not seeking forgiveness for the family.

01:00:40I only want justice.

01:00:43Julie now stands trial for her actions.

01:00:46The Fiona system, pivotal in uncovering these truths, will now be decommissioned and made publicly available for the advancement of technology.

01:00:56It's time for fresh perspectives.

01:00:58I'm stepping down.

01:01:03Whiteford Tech will now be under Nova, led by Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morse, whose leadership and vision I trust.

01:01:12This will be my last public appearance.

01:01:15All my shares in Whiteford Tech will be transferred to Mabel Morse.

01:01:19The future is in her hands. Thank you.

01:01:25Did you know about this?

01:01:26So that's it.

01:01:30We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.

01:01:33Hey, Jonathan.

01:01:55So...

01:01:57Hey, why did you leave the company and all of your shares? What the...

01:02:05Too harsh.

01:02:09Facial recognition successful.

01:02:11Welcome, Mabel.

01:02:12Where is Jonathan?

01:02:25He has moved away.

01:02:29He is, I quote, giving you space.

01:02:33He moved?

01:02:35Where?

01:02:37I'm afraid I don't know.

01:02:39He really left everything behind.

01:02:44He said it would be for the best.

01:03:00He's right.

01:03:04Maybe it is for the best.

01:03:05I found the programmer that you've been looking for.

01:03:16Here's everything on him.

01:03:18The best we could dig up.

01:03:20Hey, you need to learn to take some more breaks.

01:03:24Set in the bar way too high for the rest of us.

01:03:26I'll slow down once we've got more skilled people like this one working for us.

01:03:34Facial recognition successful.

01:03:57Welcome, Mabel.

01:03:58Nice work, Jonathan.

01:04:10Mabel.

01:04:12Hi.

01:04:14How did you...

01:04:16Weeks ago, we discovered a mysterious programmer.

01:04:20Their work was outstanding.

01:04:21I just had to know who it was.

01:04:23I'm sorry.

01:04:27I, uh, got bored.

01:04:30I wanted something to do.

01:04:32Their coding gave you away.

01:04:34It felt familiar, like you.

01:04:36The way the numbers and the figures went together, I don't know, it kind of felt romantic.

01:04:43Why did you leave everything behind?

01:04:46Don't you miss it?

01:04:47I wanted to fix my mistakes.

01:04:52To help you.

01:04:55I want you to be happy, Mabel.

01:04:59You left without saying goodbye.

01:05:01I know.

01:05:02I'm sorry.

01:05:04I knew you wouldn't forgive me if I left.

01:05:06I needed to distance myself from you.

01:05:08It was the only way I knew how to forgive you.

01:05:12Have you succeeded?

01:05:13I did.

01:05:17And good.

01:05:23Julie.

01:05:26At Novatec, we offer competitive pay.

01:05:29And flexible schedules with remote opportunities and free meals.

01:05:36Sounds good.

01:05:38There's more.

01:05:38We have benefits, like pending leave and child care support and fun company events.

01:05:49So, Jonathan Whiteford, how would you feel about joining Novatec?

01:05:55As an executive?

01:05:57No, as staff, but I would be thrilled to have you as a senior programmer.

01:06:01It's a pretty good offer.

01:06:06Also, there are no restrictions about relationships with colleagues.

01:06:15So, if you happen to like someone at work, it's cool.

01:06:22That's good to know.

01:06:22Tellur is not going to happen.

01:06:28Because of you, as staff, even at the age of 45, it's time to find a job that you make of an narcissist.

01:06:33Once you're working, it's hard to always take you back.

01:06:35Bye.

01:06:36Bye.

01:06:37Bye.

01:06:38Bye.

01:06:39Bye.

01:06:40Bye.

01:06:41Bye.

01:06:43Bye.

01:06:44Bye.

01:06:45Bye.

01:06:46Bye.

01:06:47Bye.

01:06:49Bye.

01:06:51Bye.
