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