04:50With Jonathan and Julie together
04:56It almost feels like Fiona's
05:00With us here again. Oh
05:04We are so looking forward to this marriage
05:13Oh
05:28I'm so sorry. I thought you were someone else
05:31Who are you looking for?
05:33Jonathan Whiteford
05:35The owner of the mansion you must be his girlfriend. No just his assistant. I see
05:43I'm Ryan. My father is the gardener here. I know the house really well. I actually may be able to help you
05:49Jonathan has a few favorite spots around here. No, he doesn't visit much nowadays. He does have quite a few properties
05:56Yes, he prefers to live alone. Is that so? Oh good. You've met I
06:03Was thinking of setting you two up on a date you make a cute couple
06:13A
06:15Date yes, Mabel
06:19Ryan's a fine young man, and you're a diligent worker. You make a good match
06:24Well, it's a kind offer, but I'm not interested in dating anyone right now
06:30No offense none taken
06:32Anyway, I should go find Jonathan. He has a very early meeting
06:39Mabel you're a smart girl
06:42I know how busy you've been serving my son. What fun you've had I
06:48Don't understand. Let me clarify
06:51You're barely a side dish now. The main course is served
06:56Stay away from my son or lose your position at the company and be blacklisted elsewhere. Have I made myself clear?
07:04Now
07:09About you and Ryan you're quite the pair I can foresee a wedding in the near future
07:31Morning the files are ready for you to sign
07:34Thank you
07:41Were you okay last night? What's on my schedule for today?
07:48One meeting in the morning two in the afternoon and Julie wants a dinner date I
07:56Set up calendar alerts
08:04You
08:11Wearing a new perfume today
08:14If I play
08:15Yes
08:17Miss Whiteford set me up for a date. It's after work
08:21date
08:24Are you joking you're not the only one inclined for a bit of romance Jonathan
08:35I
08:36Before we start you should know that I am a messy eater and I hate cats
08:42I'm also indifferent to humanity and climate change
08:47We can just agree that this wasn't a match. That's your strategy for tonight
08:53Tell me more about yourself. What do you want to know family?
08:56My mom died and my father is a gambler. You didn't hear it his debts at the altar
09:01A
09:03Delightful company you are
09:06Who knows I might even become an abuser an abuser
09:10Do you use ropes?
09:13But you see I enjoy being tied up sir rather intrigued
09:20You know
09:24Me
09:32Mabel
09:39Mabel are you? All right? I know shocking, isn't it?
09:45You know when they mentioned you years ago, I was concerned I thought you'd actually fallen for someone
09:52But then I saw you and I knew there was nothing to worry about
09:56To Jonathan, you're just a reminder of my sister. He doesn't love you
10:02Nothing, but a shadow to him. You are at best
10:09Oh Mabel, did you actually think you stood a chance?
10:17You
10:19Fuck
10:22Oh
10:25Do you know about today I don't want to know Fiona died today seven years ago
10:30He visits her grave on this day every year
10:37See you're just a joke
10:51You
10:58Hey Mabel
11:08There was a tack on the system at work today
11:11Okay, well since you're here and not the office I assume it's result
11:18Your passcode
11:21What is it what the code Jonathan what is it's none of your business
11:32Tell me about this attack
11:38So it's been fixed we had to restart the system
11:45System reboot I see it asked for an admin code
11:50Why didn't you call me? I tried to but it didn't go through
11:55Signal it down there. We got the code
11:59He did how
12:03Luckily
12:05Julie was there
12:10So you've seen Fiona
12:17Yeah
12:20Fiona
12:27Yeah
12:29Mabel I
12:31Know you have a lot of questions. Actually, I found a lot of answers today. I
12:40Thought I was lucky
12:43To have that job
12:46To work at the company to be by your side
12:52To enter a relationship with you or whatever that was
12:59Turns out I
13:01Was just a replacement a replacement for some sick
13:05Twisted obsession that you can't get over. I'm shadowing for a dead girlfriend
13:12All those years
13:14But even
13:18You're fucking ago
13:21Don't speak
13:23Don't use it dead ghost
13:27That's the reality of it Jonathan she is both
13:37I'm Mabel Morris
13:39I'm not
13:42I'm not your dead girlfriend. I'm not Fiona
13:52You're right, you're not her nobody is
14:07I've submitted my resignation
14:11Thank you for the opportunity years ago I learned a lot
14:42I
14:45Said you were a friend of mr. Morris's a friend of his daughter Mabel actually, I asked Mabel
14:51She's quite sweet and caring
14:53Absolutely
14:54She asked me to come check on Scott
14:56How's this condition?
14:58He's well
15:01With a little rest you should recover fully
15:04It's good news. Thank you
15:11Oh
15:15He's at Silver Pine Hospital tell his creditors I knew you had it
15:23I'm mrs. Wavered. I was just spare me the excuses
15:29I've seen what you're capable of years ago
15:33I
15:39Missed his wife, right? There's been a misunderstand. Oh, we're not Julie cut it
15:46Fiona was sweet
15:49But too naive for a world her innocence was a liability I tried separating Jonathan and Fiona for years
15:58Jonathan was so invested
16:00Even ignoring this family to pursue his little tech project all encouraged by Fiona
16:06Luckily his project succeeded
16:09But not without him taking down his father's legacy first
16:13It could have been so much more influential so powerful
16:19But just when I thought all was lost Fiona was out of the picture
16:25I
16:26Death was no coincidence Julie. God plays no favors. I see your hand in her car accident
16:36How long have you known
16:47What happened
16:48He's
16:52Okay
16:58Someone must have tipped him off we're investigating we'll do our best to locate his attackers
17:09It's Barbara Whiteford the Barbara Whiteford queen of Manhattan she's after my father that's a serious accusation
17:17Respectfully your father's not significant. You don't understand. I got too close to her son and she told me
17:25No, you don't
17:30Unfortunately, we couldn't save your father he passed away
17:46I
18:05Do have dad was never the same
18:12When you left us
18:16I lost
18:22I always thought would get better
18:28But
18:32I'm sorry
18:37I feel like a nobody I
18:41Failed
18:43She'll done everything
18:47I
18:53Leave me alone
19:04We got food from your favorite place
19:09You don't talk to me, but please see something
19:16Well, I can't eat all that food by myself
19:26I'm only gonna ask you once and I'll leave you be
19:31But are you okay?
19:33Do you want to talk about it?
19:35I'm managing
19:38Food helped
19:43You don't have to smile if you don't want to
19:46So good I feel vulnerable
19:49We all have our moments. It's just
19:54It's been incredibly hard
19:58And I'm sorry you're going through all of this
20:03I've lost a lot on to wait. Do you have a dead girlfriend? Also dead girlfriend? We
20:10You know about Jonathan and Fiona so you knew you knew all this time you two are completely different
20:17I
20:20Didn't lose a lover
20:23It's my mother I lost
20:29It's okay
20:32This whole week
20:36Everything feels so pointless
20:40That's a natural feeling to have I used to mock
20:43existentialism I
20:45Get it. No, I
20:47Love how intelligent you sound even now
20:52No, seriously modern-day Socrates
21:04Thank You Ryan food and the talk less of the food
21:10Still so addicted. Oh, they don't have drugs in it. Yeah
21:15Hey, if you need anything just call me I will I think I just need some time to think things over
21:23How do you consider your next steps?
21:26Not sure
21:28Quit my job settled the debts. No, the world's just kind of open to me strange
21:34Well, there's a spot for you and Nova Tech sure about me leading. You're the best one to lead it
21:41Come on, just give it a shot
21:43I'll think about it. Seriously so I can ask
21:54Able are you doing? Okay? Why are you here?
22:02Able
22:04Are you doing? Okay?
22:06Why are you here? I
22:08Saw what happened on the news and I you're worried
22:11Save it. It's none of your business people. Please. I mean just I'm done
22:16Listening Jonathan, I spent so much time on something that wasn't real
22:24And I finally know the truth I
22:27Thought what we had was real
22:30But I was just a pill for a wound that won't heal
22:34For a wound that won't heal
22:40I truly loved you Jonathan
22:48Don't come looking for me again, leave me on it's my final request
22:54And
23:03This is the upstairs division
23:07What do you think it's so lively
23:11That's the goal. Hey, I'm in but I have one condition
23:16I'd like to work from a different city. Why is that? Well, I hear you're expanding to Tokyo. That's where you're headed, right?
23:23Someone's been doing her homework and for a new market, it's important to have someone who trusts by your side
23:29I'm listening
23:31We'll go all look at her. He's the one you know
23:37What an honor captain let me show you around
23:46Sir you have a meeting with the creative team in 15 minutes, right?
23:53Bring me their pitch deck and latest progress report
23:57And see if Mabel is ready for the creative discussion sir. Mabel doesn't work here anymore. I can get someone else to help
24:13She can't be replaced there's no one like her
24:23Once you start on the living room
24:31What is happening here we're just doing our job sir, please don't interrupt
24:35Where where are these going? They're going to the donation. They don't already left
24:46Get out and
24:49Mess
24:52You do not want to talk
24:56You haven't been this way since Fiona
24:59Why are you this upset over a fleeting affair? Just move on fine table wasn't some fleeting affair
25:04She's clearly just a villain for Fiona. Nothing more than her look away. She's different
25:09funny
25:11Professional she makes me feel good about myself. She's she's Mabel and I actually like her for who she is
25:19I
25:22About our engagement Julie
25:28When Fiona left I was lost I
25:32Would never marry you having some fleeting feelings for her. That's that's not right for either one of us
25:37No, you don't determine that Jonathan. I have dreamed of our marriage since the day we met I sacrifice so much for that dream
25:43I lost everything
25:46What do you mean by that
25:50Nothing
25:52What are you hiding nothing I was just saying that I have something to do with Mabel leaving
25:57I don't have to answer your accusations. You're delusional
26:04Yeah, this is silly baby we'll talk about this tomorrow, okay
26:10Just sleep this off and we'll talk tomorrow
26:27Hi, give me the visitors list for Mabel's father's death
26:30detergent
26:32Hospitals footage was erased, but a doctor remembers a young woman claiming to be Mabel's friend a young woman
26:39Yes, sir, a detailed description matches miss Miller
26:45Julie should I contact Miller for confirmation? Don't bother any news on Mabel's location
26:54She just purchased tickets for
26:57Many destinations, where is she currently?
27:00last known location
27:02She's in a cab to JFK Airport. Get the car ready now
27:09I'm gonna pull over right here. Stop table. Are you insane? What the hell are you doing?
27:23People where are you?
27:30Wait Mabel Mabel
27:39Did you know about Mabel's departure I
27:43Know she left with Ryan Anderson the servant's son
27:47It's a good match. You should be happy for her. Were you part of this?
27:53Jonathan
27:54Maple made her own choice. No one pushed her
27:58She has her life. We have ours. They don't intersect
28:03Remember you have responsibilities the weddings next month. I won't marry Julie
28:09I won't be a pawn in your plan. I
28:12Love Mabel
28:15She's the one I want. She is merely a stand-in for Fiona not I
28:21Know it's already too late, but my feelings for her are real
28:28I'll wait for her. I'll wait as long as it takes because this is my life
28:35And I'll spend it with me
28:39You
28:58Mabel turn it off
29:03Mabel
29:06Okay, you lazy bone, come on there's a meeting to attend to
29:11Programming too well tonight. I
29:14Learned it myself
29:16Exactly. That's why I said I programmed you too. Well show off
29:20The driver is 10 minutes away
29:30Put some clothes on
29:34You can't see me right don't need to I know you too well
29:41I
29:44Don't need to I know you too well
29:49Heard that
29:52Incoming call from mrs. Whiteford
29:56What are you doing, mr. Whiteford, please come home your mother's condition is critical
30:09What happened she suffered a stroke last night
30:16She'll recover it she's all right for now, but she might not speak again what a
30:23Severe stroke. Mr. Whiteford. She's lucky. She's even breathing
30:29Sweet
30:32Hi
30:36What can I do to help keep her calm she's a fighter she might be able to pull through
30:44See me
30:46I'm here
30:49Maybe well, this is my dad Patani about
30:52Mabel was such a pleasure. Ryan's told me so much about you. Likewise. He's
30:57Going on about those unique seeds that you've been planting
31:02He's kind of nerdy sometimes. Oh, so nerdy
31:12Hey
31:15When did you return
31:17Mabel we can leave this here. No need
31:20We're just heading
31:23Jonathan it's nice to see you. I was just looking for you deliberately ignore my request. I
31:29Asked to be left alone. Well, I just wanted to sort things out. Everything was sorted
31:34It's all behind us
31:37Um
31:39Jonathan they're just here to visit an old man. Isn't that? Okay dad. This is your home as well. We don't need his approval
31:47Actually, Jack, I was thinking you should come live in the city with us
31:50I see you too. You live together, huh?
31:53It's none of your business. Mabel. I just wanted to see you haven't changed
32:00Sorry Jack, I just remembered I have a phone call I need to me
32:06Mabel
32:13We can talk about it, you know
32:14About the product launch. My only concern is the interface. It's not user-friendly enough Mabel
32:20It's okay to be upset with Jonathan. I don't need to hide it. He's just a competitor now
32:25Speaking of which the new app at wafer tech is dominating the charts. We should look into that
32:29Can I ask you something if you're going to say something irritating? I'm not interested
32:35Do you still have feelings for Jonathan
32:41He broke my heart once I'm not gonna give him a second chance
32:51This is Mabel
32:53Head of creatives nice to meet the team. We've heard many great things about you Mabel your products are so exciting
33:00Thank you
33:01We always try our very best to ensure
33:05Good morning
33:09Mr. White very welcome
33:12Mr. White for it's our angel investor
33:15Shown great interest in this product
33:17Requested to join us at this meeting
33:20That isn't a problem. Mr. Anderson
33:23Considering the product is still under testing. We typically limit our attendance. He's welcome to join
33:29I'm intrigued to hear. Mr. White for its thoughts. His insight is invaluable
33:36Right if I take a seat, I love being part of the creative process
33:40What an honor
33:42Mr. White
33:48At the end of the day our product is really exciting and thank you all so much for spending your afternoon with us at Nova
33:54Tech we are thrilled to be doing business with you
33:59Oh
34:00This sounds like a game-changer
34:03Congratulations, mr. Wicker
34:07Your thoughts
34:10It's good
34:12Surely as a leader in this industry you have more to offer than good
34:16I don't think it's my place to say more if we always play it safe. We'll never achieve perfection
34:25You've grown a lot Mabel
34:28It's a strong product, but not yet a market leader
34:33But there's potential
34:35Your venue needs more clarity. I mean, it's affecting your overall product
34:39You to improve the interactive system. It's far too average and
34:44interface needs to be more user-friendly, you know, it's but
34:48overall truly
34:50truly
34:52Well done
34:54proud of you
34:57Professional boundaries, we're sorry. I sometimes get carried away with talented teens
35:07Well, then let's grow some numbers shall we we look at budget wise
35:16Hey great job on today's pitch it was a team effort. You still have some work to do though. I'm looking forward to launching it
35:24That's not stop we're gonna get some rest
35:28No
35:29You still had time to find the answer lawyer
35:32Wait, you know about it Ryan. You are the only guy who hasn't made a pass at me. I had my suspicions
35:40I thought Barbara set us up for that reason, but she's clueless. Let's still hoping for a wedding
35:47I'll see you tomorrow. Absolutely. And hey, if you need anything, especially about Jonathan just ask
35:55But it's all behind me. Don't worry
36:17I'm stalking now. Mr. Whiteford just a coincidence. Miss Morris. See, um, I live here, too
36:26Yeah, right
36:30Hey
36:32I
36:55Was under the impression that this space house one
37:02Oh
37:10What a coincidence I live here too guess what my passcode is still Fiona
37:21Why do you care
37:24Oh
37:31To the lights Mabel

37:59Again, it's about terrain
38:00What?
38:02Thank you
38:12Is it that
38:14Seemed really occupied yesterday
38:17The deal was a quiet ride
38:20Now I have a tip for your product if you're interested
38:29Okay, fine, what is it the interface needs a better visual hierarchy the uniform font size is causing confusion but
38:36little variation
38:38You're right
38:40We wanted simplicity, but maybe too much so it's a good approach but
38:46You need to experiment
39:10Her condition worsened we thought it would be best if you were here
39:16Is there anything that could be done for her
39:21We've done everything
39:24Her vitals are going quickly. I'm so sorry. I'm gonna get some medicine
39:35Mom I'm right here
39:38I
39:46Believe you know, you're fine. We're taking good care of you
39:57Truly sorry
40:03Best moment

40:14I'm happy
40:18After Fiona, I saw how you suffered I
40:24Regret so
