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.
00:00:20This is Amber Wilson from J.K.R. News.
00:00:30Mr. Whiteford, your meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:00:37You should open cigarettes?
00:00:41It's an important meeting. We need to get ready.
00:00:45It could be a little softer in the morning.
00:00:47No one likes a buzzkill.
00:00:51Good morning to you, too.
00:00:52I had never had Mediterranean food before, so he immediately takes me to this restaurant on 45th.
00:01:02Mmm, Jonathan, he's quite romantic.
00:01:06And then what?
00:01:07Oh.
00:01:09Mabel, right?
00:01:10Sorry, I didn't mean to take your seat. Come join us.
00:01:13We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:01:17Oh, Mabel would know. She schedules everything for Jonathan.
00:01:20Oh, right. His personal assistant. It's nice to meet you. I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiancée.
00:01:29Nice to meet you, Ms. Miller.
00:01:31Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal. Take this as...
00:01:37I've read so many wonderful things about you, Mabel.
00:01:43Julie.
00:01:45What are you doing here?
00:01:50It's just a surprise visit for my lovely fiancée.
00:02:01Julie, I thought we discussed about keeping boundaries.
00:02:04In front of everyone, play the part, Jonathan.
00:02:07We're engaged, remember?
00:02:10Mabel, are you ready for the meeting?
00:02:13Yes, everything's prepared.
00:02:14Good, I want you to take the lead this time.
00:02:16Lead the meeting?
00:02:17Yes, you've earned it.
00:02:20Feel up for it?
00:02:21Absolutely.
00:02:25Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.
00:02:26I don't need formalities. Come on, let's go.
00:02:28We're going to be late.
00:02:32Always work first with him, huh?
00:02:34Oh, well, well.
00:02:51Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Mabel.
00:02:54Well, I learned from the best.
00:02:56Is he as usual, Jonathan?
00:03:16Mom!
00:03:16Mom!
00:03:18I thought we agreed on calling first.
00:03:20Since when do I need permission to see my son?
00:03:23Hmm?
00:03:25What's the matter?
00:03:25We 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.
00:03:42And you should join us well, Mabel.
00:03:45How did you get your hotel at the end?
00:03:55How did you get your hotel at the end?
00:03:56If we go again, it's your...
00:03:58I thought you had a...
00:03:59A toast.
00:04:04To the union.
00:04:05Yes.
00:04:05Mabel, can you pull me some wine?
00:04:11Mabel's a guest.
00:04:12Of course.
00:04:14Miss Miller?
00:04:15A soon-to-be Mrs. Whiteford.
00:04:18Dad, I'm still your daughter.
00:04:21We are so excited to welcome you into our family.
00:04:24This is the first joyful dinner we've had since Fiona.
00:04:34With Jonathan and Julie together.
00:04:40It almost feels like Fiona is with us here again.
00:04:46Mom.
00:04:49We are so looking forward to this marriage.
00:04:52Yeah.
00:04:55I'm full.
00:04:57Please enjoy.
00:05:14You okay?
00:05:16Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:05:18I thought you were someone else.
00:05:21Who are you looking for?
00:05:22Jonathan Whiteford.
00:05:25The owner of the mansion.
00:05:26You, uh, must be his girlfriend.
00:05:29No, just his assistant.
00:05:31I see.
00:05:32I'm Ryan.
00:05:33My father is the gardener here.
00:05:35I know the house really well.
00:05:36I actually may be able to help you.
00:05:38Jonathan has a few favorite spots around here.
00:05:41Though he doesn't visit much nowadays,
00:05:43he does have quite a few properties.
00:05:45Yes, he prefers to live alone.
00:05:48Is that so?
00:05:49Oh, good.
00:05:50You've met.
00:05:52I was thinking of setting you two up on a date.
00:05:55You make a cute couple.
00:05:56A date?
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.
00:06:21No offense.
00:06:22None taken.
00:06:23Anyway, I should go find Jonathan.
00:06:25He has a very early meeting.
00:06:27Mabel, you're a smart girl.
00:06:33I know how busy you've been serving my son.
00:06:37What fun you've had.
00:06:39I don't understand.
00:06:40Let me clarify.
00:06:42You're barely a side dish.
00:06:44Now the main course is served.
00:06:47Stay away from my son,
00:06:50or lose your position at the company and be blacklisted elsewhere.
00:06:53Have I made myself clear?
00:07:00Now, about you and Ryan.
00:07:03You're quite the pair.
00:07:05I can foresee a wedding in the near future.
00:07:23Morning.
00:07:26The files are ready for you to sign.
00:07:35Were you okay last night?
00:07:38What's on my schedule for today?
00:07:43One meeting in the morning, two in the afternoon,
00:07:46and Julie wants a dinner date.
00:07:48I've set up calendar alerts.
00:08:06You're wearing a new perfume today.
00:08:09You applied later?
00:08:11Yes.
00:08:12Miss Whiteford set me up for a date.
00:08:14It's after work.
00:08:16A date?
00:08:17Are you joking?
00:08:20You're not the only one inclined for a bit of romance.
00:08:24Jonathan.
00:08:35Before we start, you should know that I am a messy eater.
00:08:40And I hate cats.
00:08:42I'm also indifferent to humanity and climate change.
00:08:46We can just agree that this wasn't a match.
00:08:49And that's your strategy for tonight?
00:08:52Tell me more about yourself.
00:08:54What do you want to know?
00:08:55Family?
00:08:56My mom died and my father is a gambler.
00:08:59You'd inherit his debts at the altar.
00:09:03Delightful company you are.
00:09:04I'm a walking old flock.
00:09:06Who knows?
00:09:06I might even become an abuser.
00:09:09An abuser?
00:09:09Do you use ropes?
00:09:12What?
00:09:13You see, I enjoy being tied up, so I'm rather intrigued.
00:09:19Uh, weirdo.
00:09:21Says Miss Monsterdate.
00:09:24Meatball.
00:09:24You're Jack's son.
00:09:36He was such a talented gardener.
00:09:39A favorite servant of mine growing up.
00:09:41If you don't mind, we're on a date.
00:09:44Oh, and having fun, I see.
00:09:46We wouldn't be without any interruptions.
00:09:50I'm on my way.
00:10:02Okay.
00:10:03Sorry.
00:10:04I have to go.
00:10:07Mabel.
00:10:13Excuse me.
00:10:14I am here for my father, Mr. Morris.
00:10:16What happened?
00:10:17He's stable now.
00:10:18Creditors got rough with him.
00:10:21Broke a couple ribs, but he's breathing.
00:10:23How do I pay for the bills?
00:10:27They've been paid for.
00:10:29By whom?
00:10:34Ryan.
00:10:35What are you doing here?
00:10:37To finish the date.
00:10:38I'm starving.
00:10:40It's a very expensive date.
00:10:43I'll pay you back.
00:10:45Later.
00:10:46For now, let's get something to eat.
00:10:50So, you grew up in the Whiteford Mansion?
00:11:01Yeah, I did.
00:11:02I helped my dad with the gardens, and we planted exotic flowers from around the world.
00:11:08Paradise for plant geeks, for sure.
00:11:09I'm super nerdy.
00:11:17You were serious about your father's debts during it.
00:11:20He was a gambler.
00:11:23He's changed, but it still haunts us.
00:11:26I just hope to one day settle the debts.
00:11:29You were not the terrible person you made yourself out to be.
00:11:32You've known me for one day.
00:11:34Hold your conclusions, Sherlock.
00:11:36Well, this is Wool.
00:11:42Um, goodnight, nerd.
00:11:45Goodnight, monster date.
00:11:55It's late.
00:11:58Where you been?
00:11:58Were you out with him all night?
00:12:07It's my personal time.
00:12:09I don't have to report everything to you.
00:12:11So it went well, then.
00:12:12Your mother set us up, Jonathan.
00:12:14How could I refuse?
00:12:15Good.
00:12:17So then it was all just for show.
00:12:19Well, I actually had a really nice time.
00:12:20I might consider a second date.
00:12:24I can still smell Julie's perfume.
00:12:26Then come shower it off me.
00:12:27You went on a date with another man.
00:12:31And you took another woman to a restaurant that I recommended.
00:12:33Jealous?
00:12:35Not as much as you.
00:12:36No.
00:12:57Morning.
00:13:11Coffee or tea?
00:13:14Uh, coffee.
00:13:15You never make me breakfast.
00:13:24Last night must have been record-breaking.
00:13:29I mean...
00:13:30I'm breaking up with you.
00:13:38What do you mean?
00:13:39Well, more of an ending than a breakup, really.
00:13:41We...
00:13:41We need to stop.
00:13:43Whatever this is.
00:13:44What about our last night?
00:13:47Consider it a breakup gift.
00:13:49Breakup?
00:13:49We weren't even together.
00:13:51Exactly!
00:13:55Shouldn't be too hard to move on.
00:13:57Happy 7th Anniversary, Mabel!
00:14:14Anniversary?
00:14:16Yeah, I mean, 7 years old Webber.
00:14:18Time flies, doesn't it?
00:14:19Wow, it really has been that long.
00:14:22Got to cut the cake, Mabel.
00:14:23Hey!
00:14:24What are you doing?
00:14:26What are you doing?
00:14:28Boss, it's her special day.
00:14:30So?
00:14:31We have the meeting with Harbour in an hour.
00:14:34Do your jobs!
00:14:35My job.
00:14:37I'm going to go to sleep with Harbour in an hour.
00:14:39Nice!
00:14:39Bye!
00:14:40Bye!
00:14:41Bye!
00:14:42Bye!
00:14:44Bye!
00:14:46Bye!
00:14:47Bye!
00:14:47Bye!
00:14:47Bye!
00:14:48Bye!
00:14:48Bye!
00:14:48Bye!
00:14:48Bye!
00:14:51Bye!
00:14:59Bye!
00:15:33It was fun while it lasted.
00:16:03Hello, this is Mabel.
00:16:10Evening, Mabel.
00:16:12Ryan, what an honor.
00:16:14You want to grab dinner together?
00:16:15Just as friends, of course.
00:16:17I'm not up for another dramatic date.
00:16:20Sure, why not?
00:16:22Where are we going?
00:16:23I know the perfect spot.
00:16:25I'll text you.
00:16:25See you soon.
00:16:26I'm so glad we got to try this place again.
00:16:32This is amazing.
00:16:34I know.
00:16:35I think it has some drugs in it or something.
00:16:37It'd be weird if they didn't.
00:16:38How could it be so addictive?
00:16:41How have you been lately?
00:16:43Can't complain.
00:16:45Because you signed an NDA?
00:16:46Or because you are happy?
00:16:49The latter.
00:16:50Although, if I did sign an NDA, I couldn't really share otherwise.
00:16:54Good bye.
00:16:55This is true.
00:16:57Hey, I asked you out on a date for a reason.
00:17:01I think we would make excellent business partners.
00:17:03Business partners?
00:17:05Yeah.
00:17:05Well, I was just saying, our first date was rather chaotic.
00:17:09So I wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you.
00:17:13I'm Ryan Anderson.
00:17:14I'm the founder of Novatec.
00:17:16And I would like for you to join us as head of the creative strategies.
00:17:21Novatec?
00:17:27Novatec?
00:17:29But I thought you said you were...
00:17:30The gardener's son?
00:17:31Yes, I still am, but I'm not defined by what my father does.
00:17:35Even if Barbara thinks so.
00:17:38After years of education and, well, hard work, I find myself at MIT and started my own company.
00:17:45It's good to own something of your own, right?
00:17:48That's incredible, Ryan.
00:17:50And I'm grateful for the opportunity, but I already have a job.
00:17:54And I'm just an assistant.
00:17:56So I'm sure there are other people much more qualified than me out there.
00:18:00You're not just anyone.
00:18:02You're the key success to the Whitefruits project.
00:18:05It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.
00:18:09So, cheers to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:18:13Miss Whiteford, um, Jonathan's left for the evening.
00:18:33I'm here to see you.
00:18:36How was everything with Ryan?
00:18:37It was pleasant.
00:18:40Thank you for the introduction.
00:18:42When do you plan to marry him?
00:18:44We've only just met.
00:18:47I've warned you.
00:18:50No marriage.
00:18:53No job at Whiteford Tech.
00:18:56And you will be banned from the industry.
00:18:58I've ended things with Jonathan.
00:19:00Then marry Ryan to prove it.
00:19:01I've done my research as well, Mabel.
00:19:08Leave my son, and I'll clear all your father's debts.
00:19:13If not, those seeking him will find him.
00:19:19Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance, not me.
00:19:22I don't think you understand the situation.
00:19:27You are nothing to Jonathan.
00:19:30At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:19:34A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:19:37What do you mean?
00:19:38You don't know, do you?
00:19:43Mary Ryan, it's my last warning.
00:19:46Did I miss a meeting?
00:20:08Uh, no.
00:20:10I just...
00:20:11Your driver couldn't get a hold of you.
00:20:13He was concerned.
00:20:14Mr. Whiteford, it's October 15th.
00:20:17Shit, shit.
00:20:18Never always take the day off.
00:20:21It's okay.
00:20:22The car's out front.
00:20:23No, no, it's not okay.
00:20:24I never forget.
00:20:27Just clear everything for today.
00:20:29Okay.
00:20:30I've kept your calendar clear, as always.
00:20:32Okay, thank you.
00:20:33Um.
00:20:34The car, Mr. Whiteford.
00:20:36Right.
00:20:36I'll, uh, see you.
00:20:37At the office?
00:20:38Right.
00:20:38I mean?
00:20:38Okay.
00:20:44Hello?
00:20:45Hey, where are you?
00:20:47Our server is dead!
00:20:48Oh, uh, okay.
00:20:49I'm on my way.
00:20:55The entire server crashed.
00:20:57Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:59Hey, what happened?
00:21:00We are under attack.
00:21:01We need a system reboot.
00:21:02Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:21:03We need his admin code.
00:21:04Now.
00:21:05Okay, he's out of the office.
00:21:06Um, let me just try contacting him, okay?
00:21:12We need that code.
00:21:13Do you have access to it?
00:21:14No, that code is highly confidential.
00:21:16Jonathan is the sole owner.
00:21:18Um, let me try.
00:21:27What else?
00:21:28We're completely offline.
00:21:30Come on, Mabel.
00:21:31You know you're the best.
00:21:31Wait a moment.
00:21:35Try Fiona.
00:21:37F-I-O-N-A.
00:21:41Fiona.
00:21:43Give it a shot.
00:21:46Fiona.
00:21:48Give it a shot.
00:21:53Remember that awkward dinner at the Whiteford's?
00:21:56Since Fiona, you are nothing to turn ahead.
00:22:01At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:22:05A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:22:17Hello, Jonathan.
00:22:19Good to see you.
00:22:21How may I help you?
00:22:24Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?
00:22:27Oh, no.
00:22:28That's not Mabel.
00:22:28That's my sister, Fiona.
00:22:34Jonathan's first love.
00:22:50Next, Mabel Morris.
00:22:51Hello.
00:23:11You know, coding demands intense focus and absolute silence.
00:23:15that's why having a capable assistant to help with other things like interviews is crucial

00:30:47i tried separating jonathan and fiona
00:30:51for years
00:30:52but jonathan was so invested
00:30:54even ignoring this family to pursue his little
00:30:58tech project
00:30:59all encouraged by fiona
00:31:00luckily his project succeeded
00:31:03but not without him taking down his father's legacy first

00:31:10so powerful

00:32:42no
00:32:43mom
00:32:49Mom, after you left, Dad was never the same.
00:33:12When you left us, I lost him.
00:33:19I always thought it would get better, but it didn't.
00:33:31I'm sorry.
00:33:34I didn't feel like a nobody.
00:33:42I failed.
00:33:44I failed at everything.
00:33:54Leave me alone!
00:33:56I got food from your favorite place.
00:34:10You'd always talk to me, but please say something.
00:34:17Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:34:19I'm only gonna ask you once, and I'll leave you be.
00:34:33But are you okay?
00:34:35Do you want to talk about it?
00:34:37I'm managing.
00:34:39The food helped.
00:34:45You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:34:47It's so good if you're vulnerable.
00:34:51We all have our moments.
00:34:53It's just...
00:34:57It's been incredibly hard.
00:34:59I get it.
00:35:01And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:35:05I've lost a loved one, too.
00:35:07Great.
00:35:08Do you have a dead girlfriend, also?
00:35:09A dead girlfriend?
00:35:10Wait.
00:35:13You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.
00:35:15So you knew.
00:35:16You knew all this time.
00:35:17But you two are completely different.
00:35:23I didn't lose a lover.
00:35:26It was my mother I lost.
00:35:31I'm sorry.
00:35:33It's okay.
00:35:35This whole week is just...
00:35:39Everything...
00:35:40It feels so pointless.
00:35:43That's a natural feeling to have.
00:35:45I used to mock...
00:35:47Existentialism.
00:35:49I get it now.
00:35:51I love how intelligent you sound.
00:35:53Even now.
00:35:55Stop.
00:35:56No, seriously.
00:35:58Modern day Socrates.
00:36:01Thank you, Ryan.
00:36:12For the food.
00:36:14And the talk.
00:36:16Less of the food.
00:36:18It's still so addictive.
00:36:20They definitely put drugs in it.
00:36:21Yeah, I bet.
00:36:23Hey, if you need anything...
00:36:26Just call me.
00:36:27I will.
00:36:28I think I just need some time to think things over.
00:36:31Have you considered your next steps?
00:36:34Not sure.
00:36:36Quit my job.
00:36:37Settled the deaths.
00:36:38Now the world's just kind of open...
00:36:39To me.
00:36:41Strange.
00:36:42Yeah.
00:36:43Well there's a spot for you...
00:36:44At Novatec.
00:36:45Are you sure?
00:36:46About me leading?
00:36:48You're the best one to lead it.
00:36:50Come on, just give it a shot.
00:36:52I'll think about it.
00:36:53Seriously.
00:36:54That's all I can ask.
00:37:02Mabel?
00:37:04Are you doing okay?
00:37:05Are you doing okay?
00:37:07Why aren't you here?
00:37:10Mabel?
00:37:12Are you doing okay?
00:37:14Why are you here?
00:37:16I saw what happened on the news and I...
00:37:18You're worried?
00:37:20Save it, it's none of your business.
00:37:22Mabel, please, let me just...
00:37:24I'm done!
00:37:26Listening, Jonathan.
00:37:28I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.
00:37:34And now I finally know the truth.
00:37:37I thought what we had was real.
00:37:40But I was just a pill for a wound that won't heal.
00:37:44I truly loved you.
00:37:51Donathan.
00:37:57Don't come looking for me again.
00:38:00Leave me alone.
00:38:02It's my final request.
00:38:03And this is the upstairs division.
00:38:13I can see it.
00:38:15What do you think?
00:38:17Love it, it's so lively!
00:38:19That's the goal.
00:38:21Hey, I'm in.
00:38:23But I have one condition.
00:38:25I'd like to work from a different city.
00:38:27Why's that?
00:38:28Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.
00:38:30That's where you're headed, right?
00:38:31Someone's been doing her homework.
00:38:33And for a new market,
00:38:34it's important to have someone you trust by your side.
00:38:38I'm listening.
00:38:40Welcome to the table.
00:38:46What an honor, Captain.
00:38:48Let me show you around.
00:38:49Sir, you have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes?
00:39:02Right.
00:39:04Bring me their pitch deck and latest progress report.
00:39:08And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion.
00:39:11Sir, Mabel doesn't work here anymore.
00:39:13I can get someone else to help with-
00:39:24She can't be replaced.
00:39:28There's no one like her.
00:39:29Why don't you start on the living room?
00:39:38What?
00:39:40What is happening here?
00:39:43We're just doing our job, sir.
00:39:45Please don't interrupt.
00:39:47Where are these going?
00:39:49They're going to the donation.
00:39:50They aren't already left.
00:39:51What?
00:39:52What?
00:40:00Get out.
00:40:02Ben? You're a mess.
00:40:06You do not want to talk.
00:40:10Okay, you haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:40:13Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:40:15Just move on, find some-
00:40:16Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:40:18She's clearly just a villain for Fiona.
00:40:20Nothing more than her look-alike.
00:40:22She's different.
00:40:23Funny.
00:40:25Professional.
00:40:26She makes me feel good about myself.
00:40:27She's-
00:40:28She's Mabel.
00:40:30And I actually like her for who she is.
00:40:39What about our engagement?
00:40:42Julie.
00:40:43When Fiona left, I was lost.
00:40:49I would never marry you having some fleeting feelings for her.
00:40:52That's-
00:40:53That's not right for either one of us.
00:40:54No, no.
00:40:55You don't determine that.
00:40:56Jonathan, I have dreamed of our marriage since the day we met.
00:40:59I sacrificed so much for that dream.
00:41:01I lost everything.
00:41:05What do you mean by that?
00:41:06Nothing.
00:41:07Nothing.
00:41:08I just-
00:41:09I can't stand to see you like-
00:41:10What are you hiding?
00:41:11Nothing!
00:41:12I was just saying that-
00:41:14Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:41:15I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:41:17You're delusion-
00:41:18Did you?
00:41:23This is silly.
00:41:25Baby, we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?
00:41:28Just sleep this off and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:41:45Hi, give me the visitors list for Mabel's father's death.
00:41:48It's urgent.
00:41:49The hospital's footage was erased, but a doctor remembers a young woman claiming to be Mabel's friend.
00:41:59A young woman?
00:42:01Yes, sir.
00:42:02A detailed description matches Miss Miller.
00:42:07Julie.
00:42:09Should I contact Miss Miller for confirmation-
00:42:10No, don't bother.
00:42:11Uh, any news on Mabel's location?
00:42:13She just purchased tickets for many destinations.
00:42:20Where is she currently?
00:42:22Last known location-
00:42:24She's in a cab to JFK Airport.
00:42:26Get the car ready.
00:42:27Now.
00:42:36Okay, pull over.
00:42:37Right here.
00:42:38Stop.
00:42:39Cagle!
00:42:41Are you insane?
00:42:42What the hell are you doing?
00:42:49Mabel, where are you?
00:42:50Johnston.
00:42:51You're welcome.
00:42:56Goodbye.
00:42:57Wait, Mabel, Mabel!
00:43:07Did you know about Mabel's departure?
00:43:08I know she left with Ryan Anderson, the servant's son.
00:43:13It's a good match.
00:43:14You should be happy for her.
00:43:15Were you part of this?
00:43:19Jonathan.
00:43:21Mabel made her own choice.
00:43:23No one pushed her.
00:43:25She has her life.
00:43:26We have ours.
00:43:27They don't intersect.
00:43:28Don't intersect.
00:43:29Remember, you have responsibilities.
00:43:31The wedding's next month.
00:43:33I won't marry Julie.
00:43:35I won't be a pawn in your plan.
00:43:39I love Mabel.
00:43:41She's the one I want.
00:43:42She is merely a stand-in for Fiona.
00:43:45She's not!
00:43:47I know it's already too late.
00:43:50But my feelings for her are real.
00:43:55I'll wait for her.
00:43:57I'll wait as long as it takes because this is my life!
00:44:02And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:44:03Mabel.
00:44:22Mabel, turn it off.
00:44:27Mabel!
00:44:29Okay, you lazy bone.
00:44:31Come on.
00:44:32There's a meeting to attend to.
00:44:34I programmed you too well that night.
00:44:37I learned it myself.
00:44:39Exactly. That's why I said I programmed you too well.
00:44:42Show off.
00:44:43The driver is ten minutes away.
00:45:00Got it.
00:45:02Put some clothes on.
00:45:06You can't see me, right?
00:45:08Don't need to.
00:45:09I know you too well.
00:45:11Thank you, Mark Dumber.
00:45:13Heard that.
00:45:16Incoming call from Mrs. Whiteford.
00:45:20Put it through.
00:45:22Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent.
00:45:24Please come home.
00:45:25Your mother's condition is critical.
00:45:37What happened?
00:45:38She suffered a stroke last week.
00:45:41Mom. Mom.
00:45:43She'll recover, right?
00:45:45She's alright, for now.
00:45:47But she might not speak again.
00:45:49What?
00:45:51A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford.
00:45:53She's lucky she's even breathing.
00:45:57Sweet.
00:46:00Hi.
00:46:01What can I do to help?
00:46:06Keep her calm.
00:46:07She's a fighter.
00:46:09She might be able to pull through.
00:46:12See me?
00:46:15I'm here.
00:46:18Mabel, this is my father who I've been telling you about.
00:46:21Mabel, it's such a pleasure.
00:46:22Ryan's told me so much about you.
00:46:25Likewise.
00:46:26He's going on about those unique seeds that you've been planting.
00:46:30I...
00:46:32He's kind of nerdy sometimes.
00:46:33Oh, so nerdy!
00:46:34Mabel!
00:46:35Hey!
00:46:36When did you return?
00:46:38Mabel, we can leave with your...
00:46:39No need.
00:46:41We're just chatting.
00:46:43Jonathan, it's nice to see you.
00:46:45I was just looking for you.
00:46:47I deliberately ignored my request.
00:46:49I asked to be left alone.
00:46:50Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.
00:46:52Everything was sorted.
00:46:53It's all behind us.
00:46:54Um...
00:46:55Hey, Jonathan.
00:46:56They're just here to...
00:46:57To visit an old man.
00:46:58Isn't that okay?
00:46:59Dad, this is your home as well.
00:47:00We don't need his approval.
00:47:01Actually, Jack, I was thinking you should come live in the house.
00:47:03I was thinking you should come live in the house.
00:47:04We're just chatting.
00:47:05We're just chatting.
00:47:06Jonathan, it's nice to see you.
00:47:08I was just looking for you.
00:47:09I deliberately ignored my request.
00:47:11I asked to be left alone.
00:47:12Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.
00:47:13Everything was sorted.
00:47:14It's all behind us.
00:47:15Um...
00:47:16Hey, Jonathan.
00:47:17They're just here to...
00:47:18To visit an old man.
00:47:19Isn't that okay?
00:47:20Dad, this is your home as well.
00:47:21I was thinking you should come live in the city with us.
00:47:23I see you too.
00:47:24You live together, huh?
00:47:26It's none of your business.
00:47:28Mabel, I just wanted to...
00:47:29I see you haven't changed.
00:47:34Sorry, Jack.
00:47:35I just remembered I have a phone call that I need to meet.
00:47:39Mabel.
00:47:46We can talk about it, you know?
00:47:47About the product launch?
00:47:49My only concern is the interface.
00:47:50It's not user-friendly enough.
00:47:52Mabel.
00:47:53It's okay to be upset with Jonathan.
00:47:55No need to hide it.
00:47:56He's just a competitor now.
00:47:58Speaking of which, the new app at White4Tech is dominating the charts.
00:48:01We should look into that.
00:48:02Can I ask you something?
00:48:04If you're going to say something irritating, I'm not interested.
00:48:08Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:48:10He broke my heart once.
00:48:11I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:48:25Let's make sure that we can show you this.
00:48:28This is Mabel.
00:48:30Head of Creators.
00:48:31Nice to meet the team.
00:48:32We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.
00:48:35Your products are so exciting.
00:48:38We always try our very best to ensure...
00:48:42Good morning.
00:48:43What are you doing here?
00:48:45Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:46Welcome.
00:48:48Yeah.
00:48:49Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.
00:48:51He's shown great interest in this product and requested to join us at this meeting.
00:48:56Hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.
00:49:00Considering the product is still under testing, we typically limit our attendance.
00:49:04He's welcome to join.
00:49:06I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.
00:49:09His insight is invaluable.
00:49:13Do you mind if I take a seat?
00:49:14I love being part of the creative process.
00:49:17What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.
00:49:25At the end of the day, our product is really exciting,
00:49:28and thank you all so much for spending your afternoon with us at Novatec.
00:49:31We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:49:36Well, this sounds like a game-changer.
00:49:39Congratulations.
00:49:41Mr. Whiteford.
00:49:44Do your thoughts.
00:49:47It's good.
00:49:49Surely, as a leader in this industry, you have more to offer than good.
00:49:54I don't think it's my place to say more.
00:49:56If we always play it safe, we'll never achieve perfection.
00:50:02You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:50:05It's a strong product, but not yet a market leader.
00:50:10But there's potential.
00:50:12Your menu needs more clarity.
00:50:14I mean, it's affecting your overall product.
00:50:17You need to improve the interactive system.
00:50:20It's far too average.
00:50:22And the interface needs to be more user-friendly than you notice.
00:50:24But overall, truly, truly, well done.
00:50:31Proud of you.
00:50:33Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.
00:50:37Sorry.
00:50:38I sometimes get carried away with talented teens.
00:50:41Well then, let's crunch some numbers, shall we?
00:50:48Yes, I'm sure.
00:50:49What are we looking at budget-wise?
00:50:50Hey, great job on today's pitch.
00:51:01It was a team effort.
00:51:02You still have some work to do, though?
00:51:03I'm looking forward to launching it.
00:51:06The benefits non-stop.
00:51:07Ready to get some rest.
00:51:10Wow.
00:51:12You still had time to find the handsome lawyer.
00:51:14Wait.
00:51:15You knew about it.
00:51:17Ryan, you're the only guy who hasn't made a pass at me.
00:51:20I had my suspicions.
00:51:22I thought Barbara set us up for that reason, but...
00:51:26She's clueless.
00:51:27Still hoping for a wedding.
00:51:30Um, I'll see you tomorrow.
00:51:32Absolutely.
00:51:33And hey, if you knew anything, especially about Jonathan, just ask.
00:51:38But it's all behind me.
00:51:39Don't worry.
00:51:44...
00:51:47...
00:51:48Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:52:02Just a coincidence, Ms. Morris?
00:52:06See, um, I live here too.
00:52:08Yeah, right.
00:52:09Hey!
00:52:11Hey!
00:52:26Can you give me some space?
00:52:29Must be your neighborly.
00:52:34When did you move here?
00:52:36Because I was under the impression that this space housed one.
00:52:41Now it helps too.
00:52:52Oh, what a coincidence!
00:52:54I live here too!
00:52:56Guess what? My passcode is still Fiona.
00:53:00Is his passcode still Fiona?
00:53:02Stop.
00:53:04Why do you care?
00:53:11What are the lights, Mabel?
00:53:15That's an early night. Rough day?
00:53:17Actually, it's one of the best days of my life.
00:53:21Really?
00:53:22What happened?
00:53:26Good night, Mabel.
00:53:35Need a ride with S'mores?
00:53:38No, thank you. I prefer to walk.
00:53:40Are you kidding? It's about to rain.
00:53:42Come on.
00:53:55Is he dead?
00:53:57He seemed really occupied yesterday.
00:54:00The deal was a quiet ride.
00:54:02You know, I have a tip for your product, if you're interested.
00:54:11Okay, fine. What is it?
00:54:13The interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:54:15The uniform font size is causing confusion, but...
00:54:19A little variation could help.
00:54:21You're right.
00:54:23We wanted simplicity, but...
00:54:25Maybe too much so.
00:54:27It's a good approach, but...
00:54:29You need to experiment, but...
00:54:31You've always been a rule breaker, Mabel.
00:54:41Mr. Whiteford?
00:54:42It's urgent.
00:54:43Please come home.
00:54:44Your mother's condition is critical.
00:54:52Her condition worsened.
00:54:58We thought it would be best if you were here.
00:55:05Is there anything that could be done for her?
00:55:08We've done everything.
00:55:12Her vitals are going quickly.
00:55:13I'm so sorry.
00:55:15I'm gonna get some medicine.
00:55:16Okay?
00:55:22Mom.
00:55:23Hey.
00:55:25I'm right here.
00:55:27John and I.
00:55:29Do you need anything?
00:55:30Is there anything we can give for you?
00:55:33I'm leaving you.
00:55:35No.
00:55:36No.
00:55:38You're fine.
00:55:39Okay, we're taking good care of you.
00:55:41My son.
00:55:44I'm truly sorry.
00:55:45I'm sorry.
00:55:51You're the best mom I could ever have.
00:55:56I want you to be happy.
00:56:00I am happy.
00:56:02I'm happy.
00:56:06After Fiona, I saw how you suffered.
00:56:10I regret so many.
00:56:15I overlooked things after Fiona's death.
00:56:22And you changed so much.
00:56:27What do you mean, Mom?
00:56:29Just promise me you'll be happy.
00:56:32With Mabel or anyone else.
00:56:35Promise me.
00:56:43That it's time you learned the truth.
00:56:46About everything.
00:56:54Oh my God.
00:56:56It's official.
00:56:57Mark O'Lyfe just died.
00:56:59Really?
00:57:00What happened?
00:57:01It was sudden.
00:57:03John and Blanford just confirmed it.
00:57:05Are you okay?
00:57:07Um.
00:57:10I have to-
00:57:11Go.
00:57:12Take the date off.
00:57:32Facial recognition successful.
00:57:35Welcome, Mabel.
00:57:37Facial recognition, huh.
00:57:44Choken?
00:57:49Why are you here?
00:57:50I saw the news.
00:57:58Are you okay?
00:58:00Not much.
00:58:02Do you need anything?
00:58:03Do you want to talk?
00:58:04Why are you here?
00:58:06Is it because you care?
00:58:08I understand what it feels like to lose a parent.
00:58:12But that's not why you're here.
00:58:14You care.
00:58:16Don't you?
00:58:18I was concerned.
00:58:20But if you're fine, I should go.
00:58:21Please don't go.
00:58:23Please.
00:58:24Have you been drinking?
00:58:25Jonathan!
00:58:26This is so inappropriate and legal!
00:58:27Mabel!
00:58:28Mabel, listen!
00:58:29Listening.
00:58:30Mabel signing in.
00:58:31How can I help, Jonathan?
00:58:34Son.
00:58:35What is that?
00:58:36Hello, Miss Morris.
00:58:37I'm Mabel.
00:58:38An AI modeled after you.
00:58:39Mabel!
00:58:40Mabel!
00:58:41Stop!
00:58:42Wait.
00:58:43Wait.
00:58:44Wait.
00:58:45I'm sorry.
00:58:47I'm sorry.
00:58:48This was my way of coping with your absence.
00:58:49It was never meant to be discovered like this.
00:58:51I'm sorry.
00:58:52I'm sorry.
00:58:53I'm sorry.
00:58:54This was my way of coping with your absence.
00:58:56It was never meant to be discovered like this.
00:58:57Jonathan.
00:58:58This is...
00:58:59This is too much.
00:59:00This isn't just obsession.
00:59:01This is unhealthy.
00:59:02I know.
00:59:03It's wrong.
00:59:04Please, I'll never bother you again.
00:59:05Just give me some time and I'll go.
00:59:06I swear.
00:59:07Are you okay, Jonathan?
00:59:08Yes.
00:59:09Yes.
00:59:10Yes.
00:59:11Yes.
00:59:13I'm sorry.
00:59:14I'm sorry.
00:59:15I'm sorry.
00:59:16I'm sorry.
00:59:17I'm sorry.
00:59:18I'm sorry.
00:59:19This is too much.
00:59:20This isn't just obsession.
00:59:22This is unhealthy.
00:59:23I know.
00:59:24It's wrong.
00:59:25Please.
00:59:26I'll never bother you again.
00:59:27Just give me some time and I'll go.
00:59:28I swear.
00:59:29Are you okay, Jonathan?
00:59:32Yes.
00:59:34Yes.
00:59:36You were right about the rain.
01:00:06Yes.
01:00:07Yes.
01:00:08Yes.
01:00:09Yes.
01:00:10Yes.
01:00:11Outstanding, Mabel.
01:00:12This product will be a hit.
01:00:15Um, you know Mr. Whiteford today?
01:00:19Uh, yes.
01:00:21He wished to come but couldn't make it.
01:00:24He was caught up with family matters.
01:00:27Did you hear about his mother?
01:00:29Good morning.
01:00:33I'm here to announce the passing of my mother, Barbara Whiteford, due to a severe stroke.
01:00:44It's a challenging time for our family and we appreciate your thoughts.
01:00:48While we mourn, I also need to address serious matters involving Julie Miller, a close associate
01:00:55of our family.
01:00:57Years ago, Fiona Miller, my then girlfriend and I, developed a system named after her.
01:01:03That laid the foundation for Whiteford Tech.
01:01:06Her untimely death, I've recently learned, was orchestrated by her sister, Julie Miller,
01:01:13with my mother's knowledge.
01:01:16Moreover, Julie Miller has been involved in other immoral acts.
01:01:23She hired gang members for violent acts and caused deep harm to someone close to my heart.
01:01:30I'm not seeking forgiveness for the family.
01:01:33I only want justice.
01:01:35Julie now stands trial for her actions.
01:01:38The Fiona system, pivotal in uncovering these truths, will now be decommissioned and made publicly available
01:01:47for the advancement of technology.
01:01:49It's time for fresh perspectives.
01:01:51I'm stepping down.
01:01:53Whiteford Tech will now be under NOVA, led by Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morse, whose leadership
01:02:02and vision I trust.
01:02:04This will be my last public appearance.
01:02:07All my shares in Whiteford Tech will be transferred to Mabel Morse.
01:02:12The future is in her hands.
01:02:18Did you know about this?
01:02:22So that's it.
01:02:24We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.
01:02:48Hey, Jonathan.
01:02:51Sup?
01:02:54Hey, why did you leave the company and all of your shares?
01:02:59What the?
01:03:00Too harsh.
01:03:03Facial recognition successful.
01:03:05Welcome, Mabel.
01:03:16Wait.
01:03:19Where's Jonathan?
01:03:21He has moved away.
01:03:23He is, I quote, giving you space.
01:03:28He moved?
01:03:30Where?
01:03:32I'm afraid I don't know.
01:03:36He really left everything behind.
01:03:39He said, it would be for the best.
01:03:42For the best.
01:03:55He's right.
01:03:59Maybe it is for the best.
01:04:00I found the programmer that you've been looking for.
01:04:12Here's everything on him.
01:04:13The best we could dig up.
01:04:16Hey.
01:04:17You need to learn to take some more breaks.
01:04:19Setting the bar way too high for the rest of us.
01:04:21I'll slow down once we've got more skilled people like this one working for us.
01:04:30Underclapas.
01:04:40I think, Christopher, can we do this here?
01:04:43Facial recognition successful.
01:04:48FACIAL RECOGNITION SUCCESSFUL
01:04:52WELCOME, Mabel
01:04:54Nice work, Jonathan
01:05:06Mabel
01:05:07Hi
01:05:09How did you
01:05:11Weeks ago, we discovered a mysterious programmer
01:05:15Their work was outstanding
01:05:17I just had to know who it was
01:05:19Sorry
01:05:22I, uh, got bored
01:05:26I wanted something to do
01:05:28Her coding gave you away
01:05:29It felt familiar, like you
01:05:32The way the numbers and the figures went together
01:05:36I don't know, it kind of felt romantic
01:05:37Why did you leave everything behind?
01:05:42Don't you miss it?
01:05:43I wanted to fix my mistakes
01:05:48To help you
01:05:50I want you to be happy, Mabel
01:05:53You left without saying goodbye
01:05:58I know
01:05:58I'm sorry
01:06:00I knew you wouldn't forgive me if I left that
01:06:03I needed to distance myself from you
01:06:05It was the only way I knew how to forget you
01:06:08You succeeded?
01:06:13No
01:06:14I'm good
01:06:15At Nova Tech, we offer competitive pay
01:06:26And flexible schedules with remote opportunities and free meals
01:06:33Sounds good
01:06:35There's more
01:06:36We have benefits, like honeymoon leave
01:06:40And childcare support
01:06:42And fun company events
01:06:45So, Jonathan Whiteford
01:06:49How would you feel about joining Nova Tech?
01:06:53As an executive?
01:06:55No, as staff
01:06:56But I would be thrilled to have you as a senior programmer
01:06:59Pretty good offer
01:07:02Pretty good offer
01:07:02Also
01:07:05There are no
01:07:07Restrictions
01:07:09About relationships
01:07:12With colleagues
01:07:13So
01:07:13If you happen
01:07:15To like someone
