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