00:00:00Today's biggest news, Jonathan Whiteford, the city's golden bachelor, is set to marry
00:00:19his longtime fiancée, Julie Miller, uniting New York's most elite families.
00:00:23This is Amber Wilson from J.K.R. News.
00:00:30Mr. Whiteford, your meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:00:40You smoking cigarettes?
00:00:44It's an important meeting.
00:00:46We need to get ready.
00:00:48It could be a little softer in the morning.
00:00:50Ronald likes a buzzkill.
00:00:54Good morning to you, too.
00:00:55Good morning.
00:01:00I never had Mediterranean food before, so he immediately takes me to this restaurant
00:01:04on 45th and...
00:01:05Mmm, Jonathan, he's quite the romantic.
00:01:08And then what?
00:01:09Oh.
00:01:11Maple, right?
00:01:13Sorry, I didn't even take your seat.
00:01:14Come join us.
00:01:15We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:01:19Oh, Maple would know.
00:01:20She schedules everything with Jonathan.
00:01:22Oh, right.
00:01:25His personal assistant.
00:01:27It's nice to meet you.
00:01:28I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiancée.
00:01:31Nice to meet you, Miss Miller.
00:01:34Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal.
00:01:37Take this as a...
00:01:39I've read so many wonderful things about you, Mabel.
00:01:45Julie.
00:01:45Julie.
00:01:47What are you doing here?
00:01:55It's just a surprise visit for my lovely fiancée.
00:02:03Julie, I thought we discussed about keeping boundaries.
00:02:06In front of everyone, play the part, Jonathan.
00:02:09We're engaged, remember?
00:02:12Mabel, are you ready for the meeting?
00:02:15Yes, everything's prepared.
00:02:16Good, I want you to take the lead this time.
00:02:18Lead the meeting?
00:02:19Yes, you've earned it.
00:02:22Feel up for it?
00:02:23Absolutely.
00:02:24Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.
00:02:28I don't need formalities.
00:02:29Come on, let's go.
00:02:30We're going to be late.
00:02:34Always work first with him, huh?
00:02:50Oh, well, well.
00:02:51Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Mabel.
00:02:56Well, I learned from the best.
00:02:58Is he as usual, Jonathan?
00:03:17Mom!
00:03:18I thought we agreed on calling first.
00:03:22Since when do I need permission to see my son, hmm?
00:03:26What's the matter?
00:03:27We are hosting a joint family dinner with the Millers.
00:03:32You and Julie are expected to be there.
00:03:33We agreed to delay the engagement.
00:03:35This is not up for debate.
00:03:37You will attend the family dinner.
00:03:38And you should join us as well, Mabel.
00:03:46A toast.
00:03:48To the union.

00:15:56It was fun while it lasted.
00:16:03Hello, this is Mabel.
00:16:06Evening, Mabel.
00:16:08Ryan, what an honor.
00:16:10You want to grab dinner together?
00:16:12Just as friends, of course.
00:16:13I'm not up for another dramatic date.
00:16:16Sure, why not?
00:16:18Where are we going?
00:16:20I know the perfect spot.
00:16:21I'll text you.
00:16:22See you soon.
00:16:27I'm so glad we got to try this place again.
00:16:29This is amazing.
00:16:31I know.
00:16:32I think it has some drugs in it or something.
00:16:34It'd be weird if they didn't.
00:16:35How could it be so addictive?
00:16:38How have you been lately?
00:16:40Can't complain.
00:16:41Because you signed an NDA?
00:16:43Or because you are happy?
00:16:45The latter.
00:16:46Although, if I did sign an NDA,
00:16:49I couldn't really share otherwise, could I?
00:16:52This is true.
00:16:54Hey, I asked you out on a date for a reason.
00:16:57I think we would make excellent business partners.
00:17:00Business partners?
00:17:01Yeah.
00:17:02Well, let's just say our first date was rather chaotic.
00:17:05So I wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you.
00:17:10I'm Ryan Anderson.
00:17:11I'm the founder of Novatec.
00:17:13And I would like for you to join us head of the creative strategies.
00:17:16Novatec?
00:17:17But I thought you said you were...
00:17:18The gardener's son.
00:17:19Yes, I still am.
00:17:20But I'm not defined by what my father does.
00:17:22Even if Barbara thinks so.
00:17:23After years of education and hard work, I find myself at MIT and started my own company.
00:17:29It's good to own something of your own, right?
00:17:30That's incredible, Ryan.
00:17:31And I'm grateful for the opportunity, but I already have a job.
00:17:32And I'm just an assistant.
00:17:33So I'm sure there are other people much more qualified than me out there.
00:17:34You're not just anyone.
00:17:35You're the key success to the Whitefruits Project.
00:17:44It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.
00:17:48I am an assistant.
00:17:50I'm sure that there are others much more qualified than me out there.
00:17:55people much more qualified than me out there you're not just anyone you're the key success

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