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