00:00:12Today's biggest news, Jonathan Whiteford, the city's golden bachelor, is set to marry his longtime fiancée, Julie Miller, uniting New
00:00:20York's most elite families.
00:00:21This is Amber Wilson from J.K.R. News.
00:00:34Mr. Whiteford, your meeting is in 30 minutes.
00:00:38You smoking cigarettes?
00:00:42It's an important meeting. We need to get ready.
00:00:46It could be a little softer in the morning. No one likes a buzzkill.
00:00:52Good morning to you, too.
00:00:57I've never had Mediterranean food before.
00:01:00So he immediately takes me to this restaurant on 45th.
00:01:04Mmm, Jonathan, he's quite the romantic.
00:01:06And then what?
00:01:07Oh, Mabel, right? Sorry, I didn't take your seat. Come join us.
00:01:13We were just chatting about my amazing weekend with Jonathan.
00:01:17Oh, Mabel would know. She schedules everything for Jonathan.
00:01:22Oh, right. His personal assistant. It's nice to meet you. I'm Julie Miller, Jonathan's fiancée.
00:01:29Nice to meet you, Miss Miller.
00:01:32Being his assistant doesn't mean getting personal. I take this as...
00:01:39I've read so many wonderful things about you, Mabel.
00:01:45Julie. What are you doing here?
00:01:53It's just a surprise visit for my lovely fiancée.
00:01:59Julie, I thought we discussed about keeping boundaries.
00:02:01In front of everyone. Play the part, Jonathan. We're engaged. Remember?
00:02:08Mabel, are you ready for the meeting?
00:02:10Yes. Everything's prepared.
00:02:12Good. I want you to take the lead this time.
00:02:14Lead the meeting?
00:02:15Yes. You've earned it. Feel up for it?
00:02:19Absolutely.
00:02:22Thank you, Mr. Whiteford.
00:02:24No need formalities. Come on. Let's go. We're gonna be late.
00:02:30Always work first with him, huh?
00:02:43Oh, well, well.
00:02:46Congratulations on nailing the pitch, Mabel.
00:02:49Well, I learned from the best.
00:03:08Is he as usual, Jonathan?
00:03:10Mom!
00:03:12I thought we agreed on calling first.
00:03:15Since when do I need permission to see my son, hmm?
00:03:19What's the matter?
00:03:20We are hosting a joint family dinner with the Millers.
00:03:25You and Julie are expected to be there.
00:03:26We agreed to delay the engagement.
00:03:28This is not up for debate.
00:03:30You will attend the family dinner.
00:03:36And you should join us well, Mabel.
00:03:54A toast. To the union.
00:04:01Mabel, can you pull me some wine?
00:04:03Mabel's a guest.
00:04:04Of course.
00:04:06Miss Miller?

00:09:39Okay, sorry.
00:09:42I have to go.
00:09:44Maybe we'll...
00:09:50Excuse me. Hi, I'm here for my father, Mr. Morris.
00:09:52What happened?
00:09:53He's stable now.
00:09:55Creditors got rough with him.
00:09:57Broke a couple ribs, but he's breathing.
00:10:01How do I pay for the bills?
00:10:03They've been paid for.
00:10:05By whom?
00:10:11Ryan, what are you doing here?
00:10:13To finish the date.
00:10:14I'm starving.
00:10:16It's a very expensive date.
00:10:19I'll pay you back.
00:10:21Later.
00:10:22For now, let's get something to eat.
00:10:32So, you grew up in the Whiteford Mansion?
00:10:35Yeah, I did.
00:10:36I helped my dad with the gardens, and we planted exotic flowers from around the world.
00:10:42Paradise for plant geeks, for sure.
00:10:44I'm super nerdy.
00:10:50You were serious about your father's debts, weren't you?
00:10:54He was a gambler.
00:10:56He's changed, but it still haunts us.
00:11:00I just hope to one day settle the debts.
00:11:02You were not the terrible person you made yourself out to be.
00:11:06You've known me for one day.
00:11:08Hold your conclusion, Sherlock.
00:11:12Well, this is wool.
00:11:15Um, goodnight, nerd.
00:11:18Goodnight, monster date.
00:11:28It's late.
00:11:31Where you been?
00:11:35Were you out with him all night?
00:11:38It's my personal time.
00:11:40I don't have to report everything to you.
00:11:42So, it went well, then.
00:11:43Your mother set us up, Jonathan.
00:11:45How could I refuse?
00:11:46Good.
00:11:47So, then, it was all just for show.
00:11:49Well, I actually had a really nice time.
00:11:51I might consider a second date.
00:11:54I can still smell Julie's perfume.
00:11:56Then come shower it off me.
00:12:00You went on a date with another man.
00:12:02And you took another woman to a restaurant that I recommended.
00:12:04Jealous?
00:12:06Not as much as you.
00:12:12Well, I don't know.
00:12:37Morning.
00:12:39Coffee or tea?
00:12:41Coffee.
00:12:43Uh, coffee.
00:12:48You never make me breakfast.
00:12:53Last night must have been record-breaking.
00:12:57I mean...
00:13:01I'm breaking up with you.
00:13:06What do you mean?
00:13:07Well, more of an ending than a breakup.
00:13:08Really?
00:13:09We need to stop.
00:13:11Whatever this is.
00:13:12What about last night?
00:13:15Consider it a breakup gift.
00:13:17Breakup?
00:13:17We weren't even together.
00:13:18Exactly.
00:13:23Shouldn't be too hard to move on.
00:13:36Happy 7th Anniversary, Mabel!
00:13:40Anniversary?
00:13:41I mean, 7 years old Webber.
00:13:44Time flies, doesn't it?
00:13:45Wow, it really has been that long.
00:13:47Time to cut the cake, Mabel.
00:13:49Hey!
00:13:49You guys are so sweet.
00:13:50What are you doing?
00:13:52What are you doing?
00:13:53Boss, it's her special day.
00:13:55So?
00:13:57We have the meeting with Harbor in an hour.
00:14:00Do your jobs!
00:14:29We have to go together, Mabel.
00:14:29Bye.
00:14:30What's up?
00:14:49I was trying.
00:14:49I was trying to get away.
00:14:49We know what I'm trying to do.
00:14:49We know that you're doing with the idea.
00:14:49I can't think you're doing exactly what you're doing.
00:14:49call me, but stop me.
00:14:50I can't do it.
00:14:59Someone might see us.
00:15:01Tell me you don't want this.
00:15:14Happy anniversary, Mabel.
00:15:16Happy anniversary.
00:15:22It was fun while it lasted.
00:15:30Hello, this is Mabel.
00:15:32Evening, Mabel.
00:15:33Ryan, what an honor.
00:15:35You want to grab dinner together?
00:15:37Just as friends, of course.
00:15:38I'm not up for another dramatic date.
00:15:42Sure, why not?
00:15:44Where are we going?
00:15:45I know the perfect spot.
00:15:46I'll text you.
00:15:47See you soon.
00:15:50And I'm so glad we got to try this place again.
00:15:52This is amazing.
00:15:54I know.
00:15:55I think it's got some drugs in it or something.
00:15:57It'd be weird if they didn't.
00:15:58How could it be so addictive?
00:16:00How have you been lately?
00:16:03Can't complain.
00:16:04Because you signed an NDA?
00:16:06Or because you are happy?
00:16:08The latter.
00:16:10Although, if I did sign an NDA, I couldn't really share otherwise.
00:16:14Could I?
00:16:14This is true.
00:16:17Hey, I asked you out on a date for a reason.
00:16:20I think we'd make excellent business partners.
00:16:23Business partners?
00:16:24Yeah.
00:16:25Well, I was just saying, our first date was rather chaotic.
00:16:28So I wasn't able to properly introduce myself to you.
00:16:32I'm Ryan Anderson.
00:16:34I'm the founder of Novatec.
00:16:36And I would like for you to join us head of the creative strategies.
00:16:40Novatec.
00:16:46But I thought you said you were...
00:16:47The gardener's son.
00:16:48Yes, I still am.
00:16:49But I'm not defined by what my father does.
00:16:52Even if Barbara thinks so.
00:16:55After years of education and, well, hard work, I find myself at MIT and started my own company.
00:17:02It's good to own something of your own, right?
00:17:05That's incredible, Ryan.
00:17:06And I'm grateful for the opportunity, but I already have a job.
00:17:10And I'm just an assistant.
00:17:13So I'm sure there are other people much more qualified than me out there.
00:17:17You're not just anyone.
00:17:18You're the key success to the Whitefords Project.
00:17:21It's time for you to get outside of Jonathan's shadow.
00:17:26So, cheers to chasing what you truly deserve.
00:17:44Miss Whiteford, Jonathan's left for the...
00:17:48I'm here to see you.
00:17:50How was everything with Ryan?
00:17:52It was pleasant.
00:17:54Thank you for the introduction.
00:17:56When do you plan to marry him?
00:17:58We've only just met.
00:18:02I've warned you.
00:18:04No marriage.
00:18:06No job at Whiteford Tech.
00:18:10And you will be banned from the industry.
00:18:12I've ended things with Jonathan.
00:18:14Then marry Ryan to prove it.
00:18:17I've done my research as well, Mabel.
00:18:21Leave my son, and I'll clear all your father's debts.
00:18:27If not, those seeking him will find him.
00:18:32Perhaps Jonathan is the one who needs guidance, not me.
00:18:36I don't think you understand the situation.
00:18:40You are nothing to Jonathan.
00:18:43At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:18:47A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:18:50What do you mean?
00:18:51You don't know, do you?
00:18:56Marry Ryan.
00:18:58It's my last warning.
00:19:14Did I miss some meeting?
00:19:19Uh, no.
00:19:21I just...
00:19:22Your driver couldn't get a hold of you.
00:19:24He was concerned.
00:19:26Mr. Whiteford, it's October 15th.
00:19:28Oh, shit, shit.
00:19:28You never always take the day off.
00:19:32It's okay.
00:19:33The car's out front.
00:19:34No, no, it's not okay.
00:19:34I never forget...
00:19:38Just clear everything for today.
00:19:40Okay.
00:19:40I've kept your calendar clear, as always.
00:19:42Okay, thank you.
00:19:44Um, the car, Mr. Whiteford.
00:19:46Right.
00:19:47I'll, uh, see you...
00:19:48At the office?
00:19:49Right.
00:19:54Hello?
00:19:55Able, where are you?
00:19:57Our server is dead!
00:19:58Oh, uh, okay, I'm on my way.
00:20:03The entire server crashed.
00:20:05Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:07Hey, what happened?
00:20:08We are under attack.
00:20:09We need a system reboot.
00:20:11Where is Mr. Whiteford?
00:20:12We need his admin call.
00:20:12Uh...
00:20:13Okay, he's out of the office.
00:20:15Um, let me just try contacting him, okay?
00:20:20We need that code.
00:20:21Do you have access to it?
00:20:23No, that code is highly confidential.
00:20:24Jonathan is the sole owner.
00:20:26Um, let me try.
00:20:35What else?
00:20:36We're completely offline.
00:20:38Come on, Mabel.
00:20:39You know you're the best.
00:20:39Just a moment.
00:20:43Try Fiona.
00:20:45F-I-O-N-A.
00:20:48Fiona.
00:20:50Give it a shot.
00:20:52Fiona.
00:20:54Give it a shot.
00:20:58Remember that awkward dinner at the Whiteford's?
00:21:02Since Fiona, you are nothing to Jonathan.
00:21:07At most, a shadow of his past pain.
00:21:10A reminder of a heartbreak.
00:21:22Hello, Jonathan.
00:21:24Good to see you.
00:21:26How may I help you?
00:21:29Did Jonathan model this whole thing after you?
00:21:32Oh, no.
00:21:33That's not Mabel.
00:21:36That's my sister, Fiona.
00:21:39Jonathan's first love.
00:21:53Next, Mabel Morris.
00:22:08Hello.
00:22:13You know, coding demands intense focus and absolute silence.
00:22:20That's why having a capable assistant to help with other things like interviews is crucial.
00:22:28Well, I'm Mabel Morris.
00:22:37Fiona.
00:22:38Um, I'm Mabel Morris, Mr. Whiteford.
00:22:42Here's my resume.
00:22:45Mabel.
00:22:47It's nice to meet you.
00:23:01When can you start?
00:23:04Tomorrow.
00:23:06No, actually, today.
00:23:08Welcome to Wife at Tech.
00:23:11Mabel.
00:23:13Mabel.
00:23:14Mabel.
00:23:21Are you all right?
00:23:24I know.
00:23:25Shocking, isn't it?
00:23:27You know, when they mentioned you years ago, I was concerned.
00:23:31I thought you had actually fallen for someone.
00:23:34But then I saw you, and I knew there was nothing to worry about.
00:23:39To Jonathan, you're just a reminder of my sister.
00:23:43He doesn't love you.
00:23:44You're nothing but a shadow to him.
00:23:46You are, at best, a placebo.
00:23:52Oh, Mabel.
00:23:53Did you actually think you stood a chance?
00:23:59You pathetic slut.
00:24:01Fuck off.
00:24:07Oh, do you know about today?
00:24:09I don't want to know.
00:24:10Fiona died today, seven years ago.
00:24:13He visits her grave on this day, every year.
00:24:19You see?
00:24:21You're just a joke.
00:24:41Hey, Mabel.
00:24:44What's wrong?
00:24:50There was an attack on the system at work today.
00:24:54Okay.
00:24:55Well, since you're here and not at the office, I assume it's resolved?
00:25:01Your passcode.
00:25:03What is it?
00:25:05What?
00:25:06The code, Jonathan, what is it?
00:25:08That's none of your business.
00:25:13Come on.
00:25:14Uh, tell me about this attack.
00:25:22So, it's been fixed?
00:25:24We had to restart the system.
00:25:27System reboot.
00:25:28I see.
00:25:29It asked for an admin code.
00:25:32Why didn't you call me?
00:25:33I tried to, but it didn't go through.
00:25:37Signal down there.
00:25:38We got the code.
00:25:41You did?
00:25:43How?
00:25:45Luckily,
00:25:47Julie was there.
00:25:53So you've seen...
00:25:54Fiona.
00:25:56Fiona.
00:26:00Yeah.
00:26:03Huh?
00:26:06Yeah.
00:26:09Mabel.
00:26:11I know you have a lot of questions.
00:26:13Actually,
00:26:15I found a lot of answers today.
00:26:20I thought I was lucky.
00:26:23To have that job.
00:26:26To work at the company.
00:26:27To be by your side.
00:26:32To enter a relationship with you or whatever that was.
00:26:38But it turns out,
00:26:41I was just a replacement.
00:26:42No.
00:26:43A replacement for some sick,
00:26:45twisted obsession that you can't get over.
00:26:47That's not it.
00:26:47I'm shadowing for a dead girlfriend.
00:26:52All those years.
00:26:54When you've been.
00:26:57You're fucking a ghost.
00:26:59Enough!
00:27:01Don't speak.
00:27:03Don't use that term.
00:27:04Dead.
00:27:05Ghost.
00:27:06Yeah.
00:27:07That's the reality of it, Jonathan.
00:27:09She is both.
00:27:16I'm Mabel Morin's.
00:27:19I'm not...
00:27:21I'm not your dead girlfriend.
00:27:23I'm not Siona.
00:27:29I'm not Siona.
00:27:31You're right.
00:27:33You're not her.
00:27:37Nobody is.
00:27:47I've submitted my resignation.
00:27:52Thank you for the opportunity.
00:27:54Years ago, I learned a lot.
00:27:59Bye, Mr. Whiteford.
00:28:26You said you were a friend of Mr. Morris's?
00:28:28A friend of his daughter, Mabel, actually.
00:28:30Ah, yes, Mabel.
00:28:31She's quite sweet and caring.
00:28:33Absolutely.
00:28:35She asked me to come check on Scott.
00:28:37How's his condition?
00:28:39He's well.
00:28:42With a little rest, he should recover fully.
00:28:45That's good news.
00:28:56He's at Silverpine Hospital.
00:28:58Tell his creditors.
00:29:00I knew you had an idea.
00:29:03Um, Mrs. Whiteford, I was just...
00:29:05Spare me the excuses, Julie.
00:29:09I've seen what you're capable of.
00:29:12Years ago.
00:29:20Uh, Mrs. Whiteford, there's been a misunderstanding.
00:29:23Oh, enough, Julie.
00:29:24Cut it.
00:29:27Fiona was sweet.
00:29:30But too naive for our world.
00:29:32Her innocence was a liability.
00:29:35I tried separating Jonathan and Fiona for years.
00:29:39But Jonathan was so invested.
00:29:41Even ignoring this family to pursue his little tech project.
00:29:45All encouraged by Fiona.
00:29:48Luckily, his project succeeded.
00:29:50But not without him taking down his father's legacy first.
00:29:54We could have been so much more influential, so powerful.
00:30:01But, just when I thought all was lost, Fiona was out of the picture.
00:30:08Her death was no coincidence, Julie.
00:30:10God plays no favors.
00:30:12I see your hand in her car accident.
00:30:18How long have you known?
00:30:19Oh, Julie.
00:30:22I've known from the start.
00:30:26What happened?
00:30:28He's...
00:30:28His debt collector's caught up to him.
00:30:31Are you okay?
00:30:32Prepare for the worst.
00:30:33He's lost a lot of blood.
00:30:36How did they find him?
00:30:37Someone must have tipped him off.
00:30:39We're investigating.
00:30:39We'll do our best to locate his attackers.
00:30:42I've warned you.
00:30:44The succeeding of my life, I do.
00:30:48It's Barbara Whiteford.
00:30:50The Barbara Whiteford, Queen of Manhattan?
00:30:53She's after my father.
00:30:54That's a serious accusation, ma'am.
00:30:57Respectfully, your father's not significant enough for her to waste.
00:31:00You don't understand.
00:31:01I got too close to her son, and she told me...
00:31:04Please calm down.
00:31:04No, you don't understand.
00:31:06Please, please.
00:31:06Ms. Morris?
00:31:09Unfortunately, we couldn't save your father.
00:31:12He passed away.
00:31:16No, no.
00:31:20What?
00:31:21No.
00:31:25No.
00:31:27No.
00:31:27You're not.
00:31:28You're not.
00:31:29No.
00:31:45Mom, after you left, Dad was never the same.
00:31:52When you left us, I lost him.
00:32:02I always thought it would get better, but it did.
00:32:13I'm sorry.
00:32:17I didn't feel like a nobody.
00:32:21I failed.
00:32:23I failed at everything.
00:32:33Leave me alone.
00:32:44I got food from your favorite place.
00:32:49You don't have to talk to me, but please say something.
00:32:57Well, I can't eat all that food by myself.
00:33:06I'm only gonna ask you once, and I'll leave you be.
00:33:10But are you okay?
00:33:13Do you wanna talk about it?
00:33:15I'm managing.
00:33:18The food helped.
00:33:23You don't have to smile if you don't want to.
00:33:26It's so good I feel vulnerable.
00:33:29We all have our moments.
00:33:31It's just...
00:33:34It's been incredibly hard.
00:33:36I get it.
00:33:38And I'm sorry you're going through all of this.
00:33:43I've lost a loved one too.
00:33:44Great.
00:33:45Do you have a dead girlfriend also?
00:33:47A dead girlfriend?
00:33:48Wait.
00:33:50You knew about Jonathan and Fiona.
00:33:51So you knew.
00:33:53You knew all this time.
00:33:54But you two are completely different.
00:33:59I didn't lose a lover.
00:34:03It was my mother I lost.
00:34:07Ryan, I'm sorry.
00:34:09It's okay.
00:34:12This whole week is just...
00:34:16Everything feels so pointless.
00:34:19That's a natural feeling to have.
00:34:21I used to mock...
00:34:23Existentialism.
00:34:25I get it now.
00:34:27I love how intelligent you sound.
00:34:29Even now.
00:34:31Stop.
00:34:32No, seriously.
00:34:34Modern day Socrates.
00:34:37Thank you, Ryan.
00:34:47For the food.
00:34:49And the talk.
00:34:50Less of the food.
00:34:52It's still so addictive.
00:34:54Oh, they definitely put drugs in it.
00:34:55Yeah.
00:34:56I bet.
00:34:58Hey, if you need anything, just call me.
00:35:01I will.
00:35:02I think I just need some time to think things over.
00:35:05Have you considered your next steps?
00:35:08I'm not sure.
00:35:10Quit my job.
00:35:11Settled the debts.
00:35:12Now the world's just kind of open to me.
00:35:15Strange.
00:35:16Well, there's a spot for you at Novatec.
00:35:19Are you sure about me leading?
00:35:21You're the best one to lead it.
00:35:23Come on, just give it a shot.
00:35:25I'll think about it.
00:35:26Seriously.
00:35:27That's all I can ask.
00:35:28Hey, wait.
00:35:36Mabel?
00:35:38Are you doing okay?
00:35:40Why aren't you here?
00:35:43Are you doing okay?
00:35:46Why are you here?
00:35:48I saw what happened on the news and I...
00:35:49You're worried?
00:35:52Save it. It's none of your business.
00:35:53Mabel, please, let me just...
00:35:55I'm done!
00:35:57Listening, Jonathan.
00:35:59I spent so much time on something that wasn't real.
00:36:05And now I finally know the truth.
00:36:08I thought what we had was real.
00:36:11But I was just a pill for a wound that won't heal.
00:36:20I truly loved you, Jonathan.
00:36:22Jonathan.
00:36:27Don't come looking for me again.
00:36:31Leave me on.
00:36:33It's my final request.
00:36:39And this is the upstairs division.
00:36:42Hey, I can see you.
00:36:44What do you think?
00:36:45Love it. It's so lively.
00:36:48That's the goal.
00:36:49Hey, I'm in.
00:36:50But I have one condition.
00:36:53I'd like to work from a different city.
00:36:55Why is that?
00:36:56Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo.
00:36:58That's where you're headed, right?
00:37:00Someone's been doing her homework.
00:37:02And for a new market, it's important to have someone you trust by your side.
00:37:06I'm listening.
00:37:12Welcome to the table.
00:37:13Welcome to the table.
00:37:15What an honor, Captain.
00:37:16Let me show you around.
00:37:24Sir, you have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes?
00:37:28Right.
00:37:29Um, bring me their pitch deck and latest progress report.
00:37:34And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion.
00:37:37Sir?
00:37:38Mabel doesn't work here anymore.
00:37:39I can get someone else to help with-
00:37:50She can't be replaced.
00:37:54There's no one like her.
00:38:00Why don't you start on the living room?
00:38:04Hey!
00:38:06Hey!
00:38:07What is happening here?
00:38:09We're just doing our job, sir.
00:38:10Please don't interrupt.
00:38:12Where are these going?
00:38:13They're going to the donation.
00:38:15They aren't already left.
00:38:22Get out!
00:38:24Ben?
00:38:25You're a mess.
00:38:29You do not want to talk.
00:38:33You haven't been this way since Fiona.
00:38:35Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair?
00:38:38Just move on.
00:38:39Find some-
00:38:39Mabel wasn't some fleeting affair.
00:38:41She's clearly just a fill-in for Fiona.
00:38:43Nothing more than her look-alike.
00:38:45She's different.
00:38:46Funny.
00:38:47Professional.
00:38:48She makes me feel good about myself.
00:38:50She's-
00:38:50She's Mabel.
00:38:52And I actually like her for who she is.
00:39:00...about our engagement.
00:39:03Julie.
00:39:06When Fiona left, I was lost.
00:39:09I would never marry you having some fleeting feelings for her.
00:39:13That's not right for either one of us.
00:39:15No, no, no.
00:39:15You don't determine that.
00:39:16Jonathan, I have dreamed of our marriage since the day we met.
00:39:19I sacrificed so much for that dream.
00:39:21I lost everything!
00:39:25What do you mean by that?
00:39:26Nothing.
00:39:28Nothing.
00:39:29I just- I can't stand to see you, Link.
00:39:30What are you hiding?
00:39:31Nothing!
00:39:32I was just saying that-
00:39:34Did you have something to do with Mabel leaving?
00:39:35I don't have to answer your accusations.
00:39:37You're delusional-
00:39:41You!
00:39:43This is silly.
00:39:45Baby, we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay?
00:39:51Just sleep this off and we'll talk tomorrow.
00:40:04Alright, get me the visitor's list for Mabel's father's death.
00:40:08It's urgent.
00:40:12...was erased.
00:40:13But a doctor remembers a young woman claiming to be Mabel's friend.
00:40:16A young woman?
00:40:18Yes, sir.
00:40:19A detailed description matches Ms. Miller.
00:40:25Julie.
00:40:26Should I contact Ms. Miller for confirmation?
00:40:28No, don't bother.
00:40:29Any news on Mabel's location?
00:40:33She just purchased tickets for many destinations.
00:40:38Where is she currently?
00:40:39Last known location-
00:40:42She's in a cab to JFK Airport.
00:40:43Get the car ready.
00:40:44Now.
00:40:51Okay, pull over.
00:40:52Right here.
00:40:52Stop.
00:40:54Mabel!
00:40:56Are you insane?
00:40:57What the hell are you doing?
00:41:04Mabel, where are you?
00:41:05Job standing.
00:41:06Don't call me.
00:41:11Goodbye.
00:41:12Wait, Mabel! Mabel!
00:41:13Wait-
00:41:21Did you know about Mabel's departure?
00:41:23I know she left with Ryan Anderson, the servant's son.
00:41:27It's a good match.
00:41:29You should be happy for her.
00:41:30Were you part of this?
00:41:33Jonathan.
00:41:35Mabel made her own choice.
00:41:37No one pushed her.
00:41:38She has her life.
00:41:40We have ours.
00:41:41They don't intersect.
00:41:44Remember, you have responsibilities.
00:41:46The wedding's next month.
00:41:47I won't marry Julie.
00:41:50I won't be a pawn in your plan.
00:41:53I love Mabel.
00:41:56She's the one I want.
00:41:57She is merely a stand-in for Fiona.
00:41:59She's not!
00:42:02I know it's already too late.
00:42:04But my feelings for her are real.
00:42:09I'll wait for her.
00:42:10I'll wait as long as it takes because this is my life!
00:42:16And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:42:41And I'll spend it with Mabel.
00:42:43There's a meeting to attend to.
00:42:46I programmed you too well, didn't I?
00:42:48I learned it myself.
00:42:51Exactly. That's why I said I programmed you too well.
00:42:54Show off.
00:43:07The driver is ten minutes away.
00:43:11Got it.
00:43:13Put some clothes on.
00:43:17You can't see me, right?
00:43:18Don't need to.
00:43:20I know you too well.
00:43:23Thank you, Mark Dumber.
00:43:24Heard that.
00:43:27Incoming call from Mrs. Whiteford.
00:43:31What are you through?
00:43:32Mr. Whiteford, it's urgent.
00:43:35Please come home.
00:43:36Your mother's condition is critical.
00:43:46Mom.
00:43:46What happened?
00:43:47She suffered a stroke last night.
00:43:49Mom.
00:43:51Mom.
00:43:52She'll recover, right?
00:43:53She's alright for now.
00:43:56But she might not speak again.
00:43:58What?
00:43:59A severe stroke, Mr. Whiteford.
00:44:01She's lucky she's even breathing.
00:44:05It's me.
00:44:08Hi.
00:44:12What can I do to help?
00:44:14Keep her calm.
00:44:15She's a fighter.
00:44:16She might be able to pull through.
00:44:20See me?
00:44:23I'm here.
00:44:26Mabel, this is my father who I've been telling you about.
00:44:29Mabel, it's such a pleasure.
00:44:31Ryan's told me so much about you.
00:44:32Likewise.
00:44:33He's going on about those unique seeds that you've been planting.
00:44:37I...
00:44:38He's kinda nerdy sometimes.
00:44:40Oh, so nerdy.
00:44:42Mabel!
00:44:50Hey.
00:44:53When did you return?
00:44:55Mabel, we can leave with your...
00:44:57No need.
00:44:58We're just chatting.
00:45:01Jonathan, it's nice to see you.
00:45:03I was just looking for you.
00:45:04I deliberately ignored my request.
00:45:07I asked to be left alone.
00:45:08Mabel, I just wanted to sort things out.
00:45:10Everything was sorted.
00:45:12It's all behind us.
00:45:17Um...
00:45:17Hey, Jonathan.
00:45:18They're just here to visit an old band.
00:45:21Isn't that okay?
00:45:22Dad, this is your home as well.
00:45:23We don't need his approval.
00:45:25Actually, Jack, I was thinking you should come live in the city with us.
00:45:28I see you two.
00:45:29You live together, huh?
00:45:31It's none of your business.
00:45:33Mabel, I just wanted to...
00:45:34I see you haven't changed.
00:45:38Sorry, Jack.
00:45:39I just remembered I have a, uh, phone call.
00:45:42That I need to meet.
00:45:44Mabel.
00:45:49About it, you know?
00:45:50About the product launch?
00:45:51My only concern is the interface.
00:45:53It's not user-friendly enough.
00:45:55Mabel.
00:45:56It's okay to be upset with Jonathan.
00:45:58No need to hide it.
00:45:59He's just a competitor now.
00:46:00Speaking of which, the new app at White4Tech is dominating the charts.
00:46:04We should look into that.
00:46:05Can I ask you something?
00:46:06If you're going to say something irritating, I'm not interested.
00:46:11Do you still have feelings for Jonathan?
00:46:16He broke my heart once.
00:46:18I'm not going to give him a second chance.
00:46:28This is Mabel.
00:46:30Head of Creatives.
00:46:31It's nice to meet the team.
00:46:32We've heard many great things about you, Mabel.
00:46:34Your products are so exciting.
00:46:38We always try our very best to ensure...
00:46:42Good morning.
00:46:43What are you doing here?
00:46:45Mr. Whiteford.
00:46:46Welcome.
00:46:49Mr. Whiteford's our angel investor.
00:46:51He's shown great interest in this product and requested to join us at this meeting.
00:46:56I hope that isn't a problem, Mr. Anderson.
00:47:00Considering the product is still under testing, we typically limit our attendance.
00:47:04He's welcome to join.
00:47:06I'm intrigued to hear Mr. Whiteford's thoughts.
00:47:09His insight is invaluable.
00:47:13Do you mind if I take a seat?
00:47:14I love being part of the creative process.
00:47:17What an honor, Mr. Whiteford.
00:47:23Our product is really exciting and thank you all so much for spending your afternoon with us at Nova Tech.
00:47:29We are thrilled to be doing business with you.
00:47:34Well, this sounds like a game changer.
00:47:37Congratulations.
00:47:39Mr. Whiteford.
00:47:41Do your thoughts?
00:47:44It's good.
00:47:46Surely, as a leader in this industry, you have more to offer than good.
00:47:51I don't think it's my place to say more.
00:47:53If we always play it safe, we'll never achieve perfection.
00:47:59You've grown a lot, Mabel.
00:48:02It's a strong product, but not yet a market leader.
00:48:07But there's potential.
00:48:09Your menu needs more clarity.
00:48:11Hearing needs affecting your overall product.
00:48:14You need to improve the interactive system.
00:48:16It's far too average.
00:48:18And the interface needs to be more user-friendly.
00:48:20You know this.
00:48:21But overall, truly, truly, well done.
00:48:28Proud of you.
00:48:31Professional boundaries, Mr. Whiteford.
00:48:33Sorry.
00:48:34I sometimes get carried away with talented teens.
00:48:41Well then, let's crunch some numbers, shall we?
00:48:45What are we looking at budget-wise?
00:48:52Hey.
00:48:53Great job on today's pitch.
00:48:55It was a team effort.
00:48:56You still have some work to do, though?
00:48:58Looking forward to launching it.
00:49:00We've been at this non-stop.
00:49:01Ready to get some rest.
00:49:04Wow.
00:49:06You still had time to find the handsome lawyer.
00:49:09Wait.
00:49:10You knew about it.
00:49:11Ryan.
00:49:12You are the only guy who hasn't made a pass at me.
00:49:14I had my suspicions.
00:49:16I thought Barbara set us up for that reason, but...
00:49:19She's clueless.
00:49:20Still hoping for a wedding.
00:49:24I'll see you tomorrow.
00:49:26Absolutely.
00:49:27And hey, if you knew anything, especially about Jonathan, just ask.
00:49:32That is all behind me.
00:49:33Don't worry.
00:49:36Okay.
00:49:44...
00:49:54Stalking now, Mr. Whiteford?
00:49:56Just a coincidence, Miss Morris.
00:49:59See, um...
00:50:00I live here, too.
00:50:02Yeah, right.
00:50:06Hey!
00:50:17Can you give me some space?
00:50:21Just be your neighbor, Lee.
00:50:25When did you move here?
00:50:27Because I was under the impression that this space housed one.
00:50:33And it housed two.
00:50:42Oh, what a coincidence.
00:50:45I live here, too.
00:50:47Guess what?
00:50:48My passcode is still Fiona.
00:50:51Is his passcode still Fiona?
00:50:53Stop.
00:50:54Why do you care?
00:51:03Turn the lights, Mabel.
00:51:06That's an early night.
00:51:07Rough day?
00:51:09Actually, it's one of the best days of my life.
00:51:12Really?
00:51:13What happened?
00:51:16Good night, Mabel.
00:51:24Need a ride with S'mores?
00:51:27No, thank you.
00:51:28I prefer to walk.
00:51:29Are you kidding?
00:51:30It's about to rain.
00:51:31Come on.
00:51:43Is he dead?
00:51:45Seemed really occupied yesterday.
00:51:48The deal was a quiet ride.
00:51:51Oh.
00:51:52You know, I have a tip for your product, if you're interested.
00:51:59Okay, fine.
00:52:00What is it?
00:52:01The interface needs a better visual hierarchy.
00:52:03The uniform font size is causing confusion, but a little variation can help.
00:52:09You're right.
00:52:11We wanted simplicity, but maybe too much, so...
00:52:15It's a good approach, but you need to experiment, but you've always been a rule-breaker, Mabel.
00:52:28Mr. Whiteford?
00:52:29It's urgent.
00:52:30Please come home.
00:52:31Your mother's condition is critical.
00:52:43Her condition worsened.
00:52:45We thought it would be best if you were here.
00:52:50Is there anything that could be done for her?
00:52:54We've done everything.
00:52:57Her vitals are going quickly.
00:52:58I'm so sorry.
00:53:00I'm going to get some medicine.
00:53:02Okay?
00:53:07Mom.
00:53:08Hey.
00:53:09I'm right here.
00:53:12Jonathan.
00:53:14Do you have anything?
00:53:15Is there anything we can get for you?
00:53:18I'm leaving you.
00:53:20No.
00:53:21No.
00:53:22You're fine.
00:53:24Okay?
00:53:24We're taking good care of you.
00:53:25My son.
00:53:29I'm truly sorry.
00:53:36You're the best mom I could have ever had.
00:53:40I want you to be happy.
00:53:45I am happy.
00:53:46I'm happy.
00:53:50After Fiona, I saw how you suffered.
00:53:54My regrets so many.
00:54:01I overlooked things after Fiona's death.
00:54:07And you changed so much.
00:54:12What do you mean, Mom?
00:54:13Just promise me you'll be happy.
00:54:16With Mabel or anyone else.
00:54:20Promise me.
00:54:27That it's time you learned the truth.
00:54:30About everything.
00:54:35Oh my god.
00:54:37It's official.
00:54:38Our wife just died.
00:54:40Really?
00:54:41What happened?
00:54:43It was sudden.
00:54:44Jonathan's wife just confirmed it.
00:54:46Are you okay?
00:54:47I was just here the other day.
00:54:51I have to...
00:54:52Go.
00:54:53Take the date off.
00:55:12Facial recognition successful.
00:55:16Welcome, Mabel.
00:55:18Facial recognition, huh?
00:55:25Falcon?
00:55:30Why are you here?
00:55:35News.
00:55:37Are you okay?
00:55:39I'll manage.
00:55:41Do you need anything?
00:55:42Do you want to talk?
00:55:43Why are you here?
00:55:45Is it because you care?
00:55:47I understand what it feels like to lose a parent.
00:55:50But that's not why you're here.
00:55:53You care.
00:55:54Don't you?
00:55:56I was concerned.
00:55:58But if you're fine, I should go.
00:56:00Please don't go.
00:56:01Please.
00:56:02Have you been drinking?
00:56:04Jonathan!
00:56:05This is so inappropriate.
00:56:06Leave me.
00:56:06Mabel.
00:56:06Mabel, listen.
00:56:07Listening.
00:56:08Mabel signing in.
00:56:10How can I help, Jonathan?
00:56:13So.
00:56:17What is that?
00:56:19Hello, Miss Morris.
00:56:20I'm Mabel.
00:56:21An AI modeled after you.
00:56:23Mabel!
00:56:24Mabel, stop!
00:56:27Wait.
00:56:28Wait.
00:56:33I'm sorry.
00:56:35I'm sorry.
00:56:36This was my way of coping with your absence.
00:56:38It was never meant to be discovered like this.
00:56:42Jonathan.
00:56:45This is...
00:56:46This is too much.
00:56:50This isn't just obsession.
00:56:51This is unhealthy.
00:56:52I know.
00:56:53It's wrong.
00:56:56Please.
00:56:57I'll never bother you again.
00:56:59Just...
00:56:59Just...
00:57:00Give me some time and I'll go.
00:57:01I swear.
00:57:03Are you okay, Jonathan?
00:57:08Yes.
00:57:10Yes.
00:57:26You were right about the rain.
00:57:44Outstanding, Mabel.
00:57:45This product will be a hit.
00:57:49Um...
00:57:50You know Mr. Whiteford today?
00:57:53Uh...
00:57:54Yes.
00:57:54He wished to come, but couldn't make it.
00:57:57He was caught up with family matters.
00:58:00Did you hear about his mother?
00:58:05Morning.
00:58:08I'm here to announce the passing of my mother,
00:58:12Barbara Whiteford,
00:58:13due to a severe stroke.
00:58:17It's a challenging time for our family and we appreciate your thoughts.
00:58:20While we mourn,
00:58:22I also need to address serious matters involving Julie Miller,
00:58:26a close associate of our family.
00:58:29Fiona Miller, my then girlfriend and I,
00:58:31developed a system named after her
00:58:33that laid the foundation for Whiteford Tech.
00:58:36Her untimely death,
00:58:37I've recently learned,
00:58:39was orchestrated by her sister,
00:58:41Julie Miller,
00:58:43with my mother's knowledge.
00:58:46Moreover,
00:58:48Julie Miller
00:58:49has been involved in other immoral acts.
00:58:53She hired gang members for violent acts
00:58:56and caused deep harm to someone close to my heart.
00:59:00I'm not seeking forgiveness for the family.
00:59:03I only want justice.
00:59:05Julie now stands trial for her actions.
00:59:09The Fiona system,
00:59:10pivotal in uncovering these truths,
00:59:13will now be decommissioned
00:59:15and made publicly available
00:59:17for the advancement of technology.
00:59:19It's time for fresh perspectives.
00:59:22I'm stepping down.
00:59:26Whiteford Tech will now be under NOVA,
00:59:28led by Ryan Anderson and Mabel Morse,
00:59:31whose leadership and vision I trust.
00:59:35This will be my last public appearance.
00:59:37All my shares in Whiteford Tech
00:59:39will be transferred to Mabel Morse.
00:59:42The future is in her hands.
00:59:48Did you know about this?
00:59:52So that's it.
00:59:54We are owners of the largest tech company in the country.
01:00:10I'm ready.
01:00:15Hey, Jonathan.
01:00:18What's up?
01:00:21Hey, why did you leave the company and all of your shares?
01:00:26What the?
01:00:26Too harsh.
01:00:30Facial recognition successful.
01:00:32Welcome, Mabel.
01:00:46Where's Jonathan?
01:00:48He has moved away.
01:00:50He is, I quote, giving you space.
01:00:55He moved?
01:00:57Where?
01:00:58I'm afraid I don't know.
01:01:03He really left everything behind.
01:01:06He said it would be for the best.
01:01:21He's right.
01:01:25Maybe it is for the best.
01:01:33I found the programmer that you've been looking for.
01:01:36Here's everything on him.
01:01:37The best we could dig up.
01:01:40Hey, you need to learn to take some more breaks.
01:01:43It's setting the bar way too high for the rest of us.
01:01:50I'll slow down once we've got more skilled people like this one working for us.
01:02:04How many people could heal today?
01:02:08How many people could heal?
01:02:13Facial recognition successful.
01:02:16Welcome, Mabel.
01:02:18Nice work, Jonathan.
01:02:28Mabel?
01:02:29Hey.
01:02:32How did you...
01:02:33Weeks ago, we discovered a mysterious programmer.
01:02:37Their work was outstanding. I just had to know who it was.
01:02:43Sorry. I, uh, got bored. I wanted something to do.
01:02:49Your coding gave you away. It felt familiar, like you.
01:02:54The way the numbers and the figures went together, I don't know, it kind of felt romantic.
01:03:01Why did you leave everything behind? Don't you miss it?
01:03:06I wanted to fix my mistakes.
01:03:10To help you.
01:03:13I want you to be happy, Mabel.
01:03:17You left without saying goodbye.
01:03:18I know. I'm sorry.
01:03:22I knew you wouldn't forgive me if I left.
01:03:24I needed to distance myself from you. It was the only way I knew how to forgive you.
01:03:30Have you succeeded?
01:03:33No.
01:03:34And good.
01:03:39Julie.
01:03:42At Novatec, we offer competitive pay.
01:03:45And flexible schedules with remote opportunities and free meals.
01:03:52Sounds good.
01:03:53There's more.
01:03:55We have benefits, like pending leave and childcare support.
01:04:01And fun company events.
01:04:04So, Jonathan Whiteford, how would you feel about joining Novatec?
01:04:11As an executive?
01:04:12No, as staff, but I would be thrilled to have you as a senior programmer.
01:04:19That's a pretty good offer.
01:04:23Also, there are no restrictions about relationships with colleagues.
01:04:30So, if you happen to like someone at work, it's cool.
01:04:37That's good to know.
01:04:38That's good to know.
01:04:40That's kind of fun.
01:04:41Every good night.
01:04:53You can't go to the venue.
