00:00:00Yes!
00:00:16Your deployment's tomorrow.
00:00:17I'm still worried. Don't worry. I'm gonna be back.
00:00:22I'm gonna be safe and sound. The first thing we're gonna do is get married. I'll be waiting.
00:00:30Oh, my God.
00:00:50Oh, my God. It's so good to see you.
00:00:52So good to see you.
00:00:54I miss you a lot.
00:00:56Can't wait to go home together.
00:00:58Yeah. What are you having for dinner?
00:00:59I'm so sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace?
00:01:02He was supposed to come out with you.
00:01:04Ace? He's been back for a month.
00:01:06He didn't tell you?
00:01:08What?
00:01:10Call him up.
00:01:12You'll see.
00:01:14Let's go.
00:01:18Ace came back a month ago.
00:01:20But he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:01:23Ace?
00:01:27Ace, open up. I know you're in there.
00:01:30Ace? Ace?
00:01:50Ace, what are you doing?
00:01:52Who is that woman?
00:01:57Ace, open the door.
00:02:00Who the hell are you and what do you want with Ace?
00:02:02I need to see him.
00:02:09Ace? Explain.
00:02:12Look, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:02:15It's over.
00:02:17I got myself a new girl.
00:02:19It's time for you to move on.
00:02:22What do you mean it's over?
00:02:24I waited for you for three years.
00:02:26You said we were going to get married when you came back
00:02:28and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:02:31I was just fooling around that whole time.
00:02:33I didn't mean any of it.
00:02:35Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally.
00:02:37She's the one, alright?
00:02:39It's not you.
00:02:41I don't believe you.
00:02:43I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face.
00:02:45You owe me that at least.
00:02:47That's the problem with you, isn't it?
00:02:49You're always demanding this, demanding that.
00:02:52You're a spoiled rich heiress
00:02:54and no guy wants a woman like that.
00:02:56Can't you understand that?
00:02:58Just fuck off.
00:03:00My dad was right about you.
00:03:04I never should have fallen for you.
00:03:06I hate Ace Atkins!
00:03:18Did you really have to be so cruel?
00:03:21I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth.
00:03:23She's not going to leave you.
00:03:33That's what I'm afraid of.
00:03:35I love her.
00:03:37She's got to let her go.
00:03:43Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:03:51I love you.
00:04:05I want you to end things with Elena.
00:04:07The engagement is off.
00:04:09Take this money as your compensation.
00:04:13Mr. Pearson, I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you.
00:04:18Quite frankly, I have no interest.
00:04:21In your money, all I need is a chance to talk to Elena.
00:04:23That's all I'm asking for.
00:04:25What can you possibly do for Elena?
00:04:27When you can't even stand on your own?
00:04:29All you'll do is break her heart.
00:04:31I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:04:33If you really love her, leave her alone!
00:04:51Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:04:53I really appreciate it.
00:04:55We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes.
00:04:57I'll go get the equipment.
00:05:03I love you, Elena.
00:05:05Forget about me.
00:05:07You'll find happiness again.
00:05:09I love you, too.
00:05:11I love you, too.
00:05:13I love you, too.
00:05:15I love you, too.
00:05:17I love you, too.
00:05:20You'll find happiness again.
00:05:26Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare,
00:05:28was fatally shot by a gunman on Fifth Avenue.
00:05:30Police suspect the attack may be related
00:05:32to the wave of insurance policy changes
00:05:34that Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement.
00:05:36For now, the gunman remains at large,
00:05:38while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter,
00:05:40is set to take over as CEO.
00:05:49Clean that up.
00:06:04Good morning, gentlemen.
00:06:05I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:06:09I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:06:13The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage and to make healthcare
00:06:19more affordable for everyone.
00:06:22My plan...
00:06:23What the hell is your shit plan?
00:06:28You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:06:31I reject it.
00:06:32Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies have led to my father's death.
00:06:36My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:06:40No matter what you say, I will never, ever change my mind.
00:06:45Really?
00:06:46You think you can control the entire group?
00:06:49I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:07:10Looks like you all need some more training still.
00:07:39Got a long way to go.
00:07:43Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform or will she be next
00:07:47on the assassin's list?
00:07:48Hey, Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:52Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:07:55You could totally assign someone else to handle Lena's case.
00:07:59So you heard the news too, huh?
00:08:00You think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh?
00:08:05I'll handle it.
00:08:14Lena, today you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:08:20We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.
00:08:23Simple as that.
00:08:25Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:08:36Have you lost your mind?
00:08:39Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:08:41No one here will testify against me.
00:08:43Just sign the damn paper.
00:08:46Are you all going to let him do this?
00:08:48Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those lowlifes.
00:08:51Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:09:00Let's go, guys.
00:09:01Come on.
00:09:05Come on.
00:09:16Get your hands off of her.
00:09:18No way.
00:09:19That voice.
00:09:20It can't be him.
00:09:24It can't be him.
00:09:35Long time no see, Ms. Pearson.
00:09:40I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:09:42It's been three years.
00:09:44I've missed you, Elena.
00:09:46You're my what?
00:09:47Jesus, Elena.
00:09:48Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:09:50You stupid or something?
00:09:55You insult my boss again, you're going to be the one that needs some fucking healthcare.
00:09:59Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:10:06Leave.
00:10:07Or you're fired.
00:10:08I don't give a shit you're my uncle.
00:10:10There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena.
00:10:13And that's to get rid of them.
00:10:15Just like I got rid of your father.
00:10:21What are you doing here?
00:10:23No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:10:28Ms. Pearson.
00:10:29Mr. Atkins.
00:10:31I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:10:34Yes, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought after bodyguard in America.
00:10:41Now as per the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:10:51No.
00:10:54I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:57I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:59Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.
00:11:02Anyone but him.
00:11:03Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:11:06With him around, your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:11:12Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute? I need to talk to him.
00:11:15Yes, ma'am.
00:11:20Ace, what are you doing here?
00:11:22I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:11:24Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now and, well, I was worried about you.
00:11:30We broke up three years ago.
00:11:32You cheated on me.
00:11:33You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:11:36The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:11:40The contract's already signed so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:11:44Now go.
00:11:45I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:11:51Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:11:57Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:12:00Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:12:02You're delusional.
00:12:04Elena.
00:12:09The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now so just let me protect you.
00:12:14Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:12:19Let go.
00:12:24Take me home.
00:12:25Take me home.
00:12:29Elena!
00:12:34Asshole.
00:12:35You broke my heart.
00:12:36Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:12:44That's odd.
00:12:45I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:12:55Someone broke in.
00:12:56The killer?
00:13:19Why so surprised, princess?
00:13:22Didn't you know you were going to be next?
00:13:26No.
00:13:27I don't want to die, please.
00:13:29Someone help me.
00:13:55No.
00:14:10Ace.
00:14:11Oh, God.
00:14:14I thought I was going to die.
00:14:16You're not going to die.
00:14:17You're safe.
00:14:18You're hurt.
00:14:19Are you all right?
00:14:20You saved me.
00:14:23Ace.
00:14:26You're bleeding.
00:14:31He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even hotter than he used to be.
00:14:36He's still got that same glow.
00:14:38God, I missed her.
00:14:41Do you remember the last time we, uh...
00:14:45were together?
00:14:55Ace.
00:14:58He's harder.
00:15:00Ace.
00:15:07That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:15:09I should wrap that up.
00:15:12He tried to stab me in the leg and he missed.
00:15:15It's fine.
00:15:16I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:15:22Ace, is there something wrong?
00:15:24No, it's fine.
00:15:25Okay.
00:15:55Oh.
00:15:59Oh!
00:16:00My...
00:16:03Am I interrupting?
00:16:05No.
00:16:06No.
00:16:07Ace cut himself and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:16:15Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up.
00:16:20Wait, he's not staying with me.
00:16:22Yes, Miss Pearson, of course.
00:16:25That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:16:28The contract clearly states that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7 to ensure your safety.
00:16:38Oliver, it's not just about the contract.
00:16:40I can't...
00:16:42I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:16:47You must understand.
00:16:49You might very well be the next target.
00:16:53If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:17:00I'll be fine.
00:17:02Oliver, you win.
00:17:04Brilliant.
00:17:06Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:17:12In your hands.
00:17:17I would take a bullet for her.
00:17:31You're the first door on the left.
00:17:33You can stay there.
00:17:35I'll wait out here.
00:17:36Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:17:39We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:17:42Now, if you're going to be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries.
00:17:47So, here's how it's going to go.
00:17:48You are going to do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm going to live my life.
00:17:53Nothing else.
00:17:55Is that clear?
00:17:57Crystal.
00:17:59I'll go unpack my stuff.
00:18:08Ah.
00:18:14Is this his wallet?
00:18:26You said you never left me, so why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?
00:18:31I checked the house. It's all clear.
00:18:34Safe to sleep.
00:18:35Great. Thanks.
00:18:37I'm going to go to bed now.
00:19:01Ring.
00:19:03Ring.
00:19:08Ah!
00:19:10Shit.
00:19:19Sorry.
00:19:21I thought you were in danger.
00:19:23Just hand me that towel.
00:19:30Ah!
00:19:40It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:19:48Be professional. I'm still your boss, remember?
00:19:57Yes, ma'am.
00:20:01Okay.
00:20:20You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:22And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:41Hey, sir. I have some scar cream for you.
00:20:43Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:20:50Hey, what's up?
00:20:52Hey.
00:20:55Just have something for the scars.
00:20:58I can put it on.
00:21:10I'm surprised that you still want to show this much care for me still.
00:21:17Get over yourself.
00:21:20I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:21:23Elena, calm yourself. He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:21:28Okay.
00:21:32I'm done.
00:21:41Hey, what is with you and this blanket?
00:21:44I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:21:47My leg is fine.
00:21:49I'm just sitting. That's how I sit.
00:21:52I call BS. Let me see it.
00:21:58What?
00:22:07What if I'm hiding something under there?
00:22:11Maybe I'm hiding the boner.
00:22:14Let's see it.
00:22:23You're not my boyfriend anymore. You're my bodyguard.
00:22:26We should keep things professional.
00:22:31Good night.
00:22:34Good night.
00:22:38You're right, Elena. I'm just your bodyguard.
00:22:42Good night.
00:22:52Elena, I want you to put this on. It's lightweight. You won't even feel it.
00:22:58I'm not wearing that.
00:23:00You can either do it yourself or I can strip your clothes off for you.
00:23:03And I can do it.
00:23:05If you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:23:07I can do it myself.
00:23:13There.
00:23:15Got it.
00:23:33Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:23:37It's exciting.
00:23:42Okay, I have to go. I'm late for work.
00:23:46Yes, ma'am.
00:23:52I'm assuming that assassination didn't go as planned.
00:23:55That idiot calls himself a hitman. He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:24:00Chad, I'm leaving this to you. Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb, and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:24:07Consider it done.
00:24:13Ahem.
00:24:15Jesus, Chad, how many times have I told you to knock?
00:24:18What do you want?
00:24:20You owe me dinner, remember?
00:24:22I remember.
00:24:24But I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral, so can we take a brain check?
00:24:29Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:24:31You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:24:34This is how people get burned down. You need to take some time off to relax.
00:24:43Yeah.
00:24:45You know what? Let's do dinner.
00:24:51Great.
00:25:04Sir, this is a table for two.
00:25:12Why don't you go sit over there?
00:25:35I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard. I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times, but thanks for checking in.
00:25:42You're welcome.
00:25:51Well, don't let me interrupt. If you guys haven't ordered yet, go ahead.
00:26:0082 Lafayette. Your favorite.
00:26:03I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me. Here, have a taste.
00:26:08Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink. I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:26:14Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:26:24My apologies.
00:26:27Elena.
00:26:29Elena.
00:26:33I know how tough it's been for you, and I want you to know that I'm here for you.
00:26:39Always.
00:26:41And that my heart belongs to you.
00:26:46Sorry, Chad. I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:26:52Can we eat? I'm starving.
00:26:55Yeah. Sam.
00:26:58The mango salad.
00:27:03Oh, hey, Sam. Sorry about that. She actually doesn't like mangoes. Do you mind bringing out another plate without them?
00:27:10He still remembers?
00:27:12I'll see what I can do about that.
00:27:17Wait, didn't you two just meet? How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:23How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:26Well, we actually go way back, and I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference for mangoes.
00:27:32He's my bodyguard. Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know. I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:27:42Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:27:55What?
00:28:11What was that tonight? If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:28:17Maybe you're just seeing things the way you want to see them.
00:28:21You ever think about that?
00:28:22How could I forget? Right, you shattered my heart.
00:28:28Save it. Just go home. You have funeral preparations to make anyway.
00:28:37I'm sorry, Elena. I was just trying to give you a better life. I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:28:45Elena!
00:28:48Elena?
00:28:49Dad! You're back!
00:29:03Dad!
00:29:06What's going on?
00:29:07Please.
00:29:09It's fine. I'm here. Okay?
00:29:12It's fine. I'm here. Okay? You're safe.
00:29:16I had a dream about my dad.
00:29:20One second he was smiling at me, and then the next...
00:29:32I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:29:36Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:29:42Yes.
00:29:47You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:29:50And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:29:54Besides, I'm going to be right here the whole time supporting you. Protecting you.
00:30:00Protecting me?
00:30:04Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:30:07Look, our relationship, that is in the past.
00:30:12But I would protect you with my life. I'd die for you.
00:30:17I need you to understand that.
00:30:20So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:30:30So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:30:33So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:30:57Stay with me.
00:31:00It's how you wanted to keep things professional.
00:31:05You're my bodyguard, and I'm scared.
00:31:11Stay with me, so I can feel safe.
00:31:30If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:31:39What are we doing here?
00:31:41I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:31:44You know, just in case. Always got to be prepared.
00:31:48What I mean is, in case I die first, and you're still in danger, you can fight your way out.
00:31:55Fight your way out.
00:31:58First case scenario.
00:32:05What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:32:15No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:32:19Try putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.
00:32:24Grab on there.
00:32:28Push as hard as you can.
00:32:34Alright, nice.
00:32:39Alright, second scenario.
00:32:43What if somebody had you like this?
00:32:47What if somebody had you like this?
00:32:53It's just self-defense training. Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:32:58That's your move.
00:33:02Um, I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:33:07Like, stomping on the floor.
00:33:09I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:33:12Like, stomping on the floor.
00:33:17Very nice. You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:33:21Okay, third scenario. You ready?
00:33:25Alright.
00:33:28What?
00:33:33Someone's got you like this. Starts choking you.
00:33:37Um...
00:33:38You gotta be quick.
00:33:39Like this?
00:33:43Use your hips.
00:33:45What?
00:33:46Use your hips to thrust me off of you. As hard as you can.
00:33:53Ace, are you okay? Did I hurt your leg?
00:33:56No.
00:33:57What was that sound?
00:33:58What was that sound?
00:34:03It didn't hurt my leg.
00:34:05It's fine. That was a good job.
00:34:07No, you're hurt. Let me...
00:34:09It's fine. That was good work, though. Seriously.
00:34:12Ace, the new security equipment just arrived. Can you come check it out?
00:34:16Yeah, sure. Thanks, Josh.
00:34:18Good job today.
00:34:20Seriously.
00:34:22That sound was weird.
00:34:29Ace is hiding something from me.
00:34:32Hi.
00:34:33Alina, right? I'm Josh.
00:34:36I used to serve with Ace in the military, but now we're colleagues.
00:34:40He talks about you a lot.
00:34:42Hi, Josh.
00:34:44I'm sorry, can I ask...
00:34:47Can I ask you something?
00:34:49I'm sorry, can I ask...
00:34:51Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:34:57Huh? Leg? No.
00:34:59Not that I know of.
00:35:01You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:35:04Everyone here knows that there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:35:09And that person is you, Alina.
00:35:13You're mistaken. He...
00:35:15He doesn't love me.
00:35:16At all. If you knew him, then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:35:21You know, I might be just an outsider, but I know Ace.
00:35:26Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:35:29Alright, I gotta go check up on Ace and the new equipment.
00:35:32It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:35:36Maybe some things aren't what they seem? What does that even mean?
00:35:41Yeah, thanks, Josh. Everything looks great.
00:35:43Okay.
00:35:47Ace, Alina asked about your leg.
00:35:52What'd you say?
00:35:56What'd you say?
00:35:57Don't worry, I didn't say a word.
00:36:00But, honestly, man, I think she still cares about you.
00:36:04Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:36:06I appreciate your input, Josh, but I think I know what's best for Alina and I.
00:36:10Might wanna deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:36:13It's overdue for a replacement.
00:36:15If you keep stalling, you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:36:18You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:36:22I'm still on the job, I can't leave Alina alone.
00:36:24I think that would be very irresponsible of me, don't you think, Josh?
00:36:28Man, you're one hell of a romantic, you know that?
00:36:31Yeah, well, that makes one of us. Why don't you get the hell out of here, alright?
00:36:45Alright.
00:36:51Almighty God, in your mercy, turn the darkness of death
00:36:55into the dawn of new life,
00:36:57and the sorrow of parting
00:36:59into the joy of heaven
00:37:01through our Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:37:03who died, rose again,
00:37:06and lives forevermore.
00:37:08Amen.
00:37:10My deepest condolences.
00:37:12May your father rest in peace.
00:37:14If your father knew that your reckless reforms would be tearing his company apart,
00:37:18he would never rest in peace.
00:37:20He was your brother.
00:37:22If you had even a shred of affection for him,
00:37:24you would never say something like that at his funeral.
00:37:27You know, Uncle Houston, I've always wondered,
00:37:29you've been far angrier about the health care reforms
00:37:32than my own father's murder.
00:37:34Could it be that you had something to do with it?
00:37:37Could it be that you had something to do with his death?
00:37:41That is outrageous slander.
00:37:44How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral.
00:37:56Sorry for your loss.
00:38:07It's okay.
00:38:31It's enough.
00:38:37This was my father's favorite.
00:38:39I got it for him for his birthday,
00:38:41but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:38:54Right here.
00:38:56Not going anywhere.
00:38:58No.
00:39:05Get out.
00:39:08No.
00:39:11Don't go.
00:39:17Can you promise you won't leave me again?
00:39:21I promise.
00:39:23I'll never leave you again.
00:39:25Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:39:29Someone that you can't forget.
00:39:31Is that someone me?
00:39:36Tell me, Ace.
00:39:44Yes.
00:39:46That someone is you.
00:39:48And it always has been.
00:39:50If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:39:52Look, it's been a long day.
00:39:54I don't think we should talk about it.
00:39:58I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:40:00You did hurt me.
00:40:02Three years ago, I waited for you to come back and marry me,
00:40:06and then you left me for another woman.
00:40:09You broke my heart.
00:40:11And then you just walked back in my life like nothing happened.
00:40:15No.
00:40:24No.
00:40:55Oh, my God, I drank too much.
00:40:59Can we sleep together?
00:41:02You hungry?
00:41:04I made you breakfast.
00:41:06Last night, we...
00:41:10You were drunk.
00:41:12Very drunk.
00:41:13I took care of you.
00:41:14That was it.
00:41:16He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:41:18Jerk.
00:41:20Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:41:35You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:41:40Haven't you dealt with that bitch Elena yet?
00:41:42She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:41:45She's hard to handle.
00:41:47The bodyguard of hers is practically glued on to her.
00:41:50I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:41:52This will not do.
00:41:55She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:41:57Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:42:00If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:42:04What do you want me to do?
00:42:07The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:42:09Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board,
00:42:12which you're going to do.
00:42:14It's invite her to go as your date, and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:42:17Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:42:21We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from reform.
00:42:25Kills two birds with one stone. I like that.
00:42:27Exactly. The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:42:31There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:42:39Elena.
00:42:42Elena.
00:42:44I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:42:50I told you, Mr. Vegas would be chasing this person.
00:42:53He's been at it for ages. His persistence is kind of impressive.
00:43:05Chad, I...
00:43:06Elena, trust me.
00:43:08I can help you win over a couple more board members for the healthcare reform plan.
00:43:16Yeah. Yes, I'd love to go to dinner.
00:43:19Great. See you later.
00:43:39How do I look?
00:43:42You look beautiful.
00:43:44You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:43:48What, are you jealous?
00:43:50I just don't think that that guy deserves all of this.
00:44:02Speak of the devil.
00:44:04Beautiful.
00:44:07Elena, we should get going. We're going to be late.
00:44:09And, uh, Ace, remember your place.
00:44:13Okay, there, sport? You're the bodyguard.
00:44:17So make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:44:21Okay.
00:44:36Elena's healthcare reform plan might have some short-term losses,
00:44:40but I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:44:46Forget about that for a moment.
00:44:48What I'm really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:44:52Given the company's current PR crisis,
00:44:55announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:44:58Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:45:02Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:45:06Chad and I are...
00:45:07Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:45:13Our company has faced challenges recently,
00:45:17but on this special night,
00:45:20our new CEO, Miss Elena Pearson, would like to say a few words.
00:45:29Before Miss Pearson says anything,
00:45:31I have a surprise for her.
00:45:36I have a surprise for her.
00:45:38Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:45:55Will you marry me?
00:45:56Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!
00:46:01Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!
00:46:07Chad, stand up. What are you doing?
00:46:09I don't...
00:46:11Come on, let's go. We're leaving.
00:46:18Come on.
00:46:31What the hell are you doing?
00:46:33Storming out like that in front of all those guests.
00:46:35Do you realize how bad you're making the company's image look?
00:46:37Oh, really?
00:46:38So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:46:41That's ridiculous.
00:46:42Who I marry is none of your business.
00:46:45We're over, Ace. You're just my bodyguard.
00:46:47You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:46:49You don't mean that.
00:46:51You don't love that guy. You barely fucking know him.
00:46:54Who I love is none of your concern.
00:46:58Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins,
00:47:00when you've pushed me away over and over again.
00:47:03Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal,
00:47:05you would have nothing to do with it and you couldn't stop me.
00:47:16Elena! Elena, where are you?
00:47:22Elena, are you in there?
00:47:27Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:47:32Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:47:46I'll be out in a minute.
00:47:49Are you sure you're okay?
00:47:53Yeah, I'm fine. Just go.
00:48:15Go.
00:48:25Ace, you're a bastard.
00:48:27Look, I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:48:30Oh, and you do?
00:48:32You abandoned me. We were supposed to get married.
00:48:37You have no right to say that to me.
00:48:39What do you think's going on here?
00:48:41Do you think that I don't love you?
00:48:44I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much I...
00:48:46Elena! Who's in there with you?
00:48:48How much what? What are you saying?
00:48:53How much what? What are you saying?
00:48:55Elena!
00:48:57What do you think?
00:49:03What are you two doing in here?
00:49:05I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:49:07You told me it was just a date to the gala,
00:49:09and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:49:11Proposing in front of everyone?
00:49:13What? Have you lost your mind?
00:49:15Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long,
00:49:17and you've never rejected me.
00:49:19So that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:49:22What? I haven't said anything.
00:49:25You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:49:27What's the difference, hmm?
00:49:29Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancee now.
00:49:32Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.
00:49:35It's only natural for us to be together.
00:49:37Hey, don't step closer.
00:49:39And who the hell are you?
00:49:41You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:49:44Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:49:46Acting all on your high horse,
00:49:48but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:49:59Bravo, bravo.
00:50:01You two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
00:50:03Hey, this must be nice, huh?
00:50:05Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:50:07Shut the fuck up.
00:50:08What's the matter? Struck a nerve?
00:50:10Elena, you have the audacity
00:50:13to accuse me of damaging the company?
00:50:16Take a look in the mirror.
00:50:18You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:50:21You're the real disgrace to the Pearson group.
00:50:28You see that girl right there?
00:50:30There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:50:32You're not going to disrespect her.
00:50:34You show face around here again, I'm going to fuck you to it.
00:50:36Do you understand? Do you understand?
00:50:49You left me?
00:50:54Did you mean what you said?
00:50:57Nice, just tell me the truth.
00:50:59That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:51:03No, Elena, I can't be with you.
00:51:06I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:51:09I'm not whole. I'll never be enough for you.
00:51:11That was just impulsive.
00:51:13I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
00:51:15You're lying.
00:51:17You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:51:20You'd risk your life for me.
00:51:22You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:51:24That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
00:51:27That is something more, and you know it.
00:51:29Moments ago, right here,
00:51:31you said that you loved me more than anyone else in the world.
00:51:34Is...
00:51:37Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:51:40Elena, look.
00:51:46Look.
00:51:48I'm here to guard you.
00:51:50I'm your bodyguard.
00:51:53I shouldn't have crossed the line, and I'm sorry.
00:51:57Now, let's go.
00:52:00Stay away from me.
00:52:02Elena.
00:52:05I'm sorry, Elena.
00:52:07I can't hold you back.
00:52:09You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:52:16Can't handle one woman?
00:52:18Absolutely useless.
00:52:20That bitch has been screwing her bodyguard the whole damn time.
00:52:22What do you want me to do?
00:52:24That pathetic freaking loser.
00:52:27I'm gonna kill him.
00:52:30It's only a matter of time.
00:52:32If that's the case,
00:52:34there's only one option left.
00:52:36If we want Pearson Group,
00:52:38we're going to have to eliminate her.
00:52:40Just like we did her father.
00:52:43You think you can fix everything
00:52:45with these little tricks?
00:52:47Won't work, Ace.
00:52:49It's your favorite.
00:52:51French toast.
00:52:53Been up since six making sure everything was perfect.
00:52:56I know it's been a while,
00:52:58so I hope it tastes like...
00:53:00how you remember it.
00:53:02I'm sorry.
00:53:04I'm sorry.
00:53:06I'm sorry.
00:53:08I'm sorry.
00:53:10I hope it tastes like...
00:53:12how you remember it.
00:53:26Oliver, what are you...
00:53:28what are you doing here?
00:53:30This is a signed first edition.
00:53:33Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections
00:53:36to track that down for you.
00:53:39And while you were at your meetings,
00:53:41he took it upon himself
00:53:43to redecorate your entire office.
00:53:53Do you really think gestures like these
00:53:55are gonna make me forgive you?
00:54:00I just want you to be happy, Elena.
00:54:03Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:54:06You have every right to hate me
00:54:08or push me away if that's what you want.
00:54:10But please,
00:54:12just don't let this anger
00:54:14eat away at you.
00:54:16It wasn't your fault.
00:54:18None of it was.
00:54:20It was mine.
00:54:22Don't think you've won me over.
00:54:24I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:28Don't think you've won me over.
00:54:30I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:32Go make me a coffee.
00:54:34I have a meeting soon.
00:54:39Ms. Pearson,
00:54:41if I may say,
00:54:43Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
00:54:47And from the way you look at him,
00:54:49it's clear you feel the same way.
00:54:52So why not just be together?
00:54:55Oliver, you don't understand.
00:54:57Every time I take a step forward,
00:54:59he takes two steps back.
00:55:01It's not that simple.
00:55:03Well, then maybe you should
00:55:05take the lead.
00:55:07Take the lead?
00:55:09Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:55:12Why not use the occasion
00:55:14to clear the air
00:55:16and finally talk it through?
00:55:21Maybe.
00:55:33Maybe you should
00:55:35take the lead?
00:55:37The first gift I ever gave Ace
00:55:39was a motorcycle, and he loved it.
00:55:41Ace, stay here.
00:55:43I have a surprise for you.
00:55:49All right, and your order will be delivered tonight.
00:55:51Thank you so much.
00:55:53Thank you for shopping with us, Ms. Pearson.
00:56:06Ah!
00:56:08Ah!
00:56:36Oh, fuck!
00:56:38Josh, Josh!
00:56:40Elena's been taken.
00:56:42Activate the tracking system.
00:56:44Get the cops involved.
00:56:46I'm going after her.
00:56:54Oh!
00:56:56Oh!
00:56:58Oh!
00:57:00Oh!
00:57:02Oh!
00:57:05Oh!
00:57:09Who are you?
00:57:11Look, if this is about the company's health care reforms,
00:57:13then I promise you I'm proposing a new plan.
00:57:15It's set to pass on Monday,
00:57:17so please don't kill me.
00:57:19Shut your mouth.
00:57:21This isn't about health care.
00:57:23You got it all wrong.
00:57:25What?
00:57:31My uncle hired you?
00:57:33He paid you to kill my dad?
00:57:35Ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:57:37Took you long enough to figure out.
00:57:39Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:57:43Now sign the damn thing,
00:57:45or I'll put a hole in your head!
00:57:49Okay, I'll sign.
00:57:51But you have to let me go after.
00:57:53Good.
00:57:55Sign it, then you're free to go.
00:57:57He's lying.
00:57:59As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
00:58:01Think, Elena, think.
00:58:03Hurry up.
00:58:05Don't try anything stupid,
00:58:07or I'll break your legs before you can escape.
00:58:21No, I don't want to die.
00:58:23Please, Ace, save me.
00:58:27Now that this job is completed,
00:58:29I can never have to worry about money ever again.
00:58:33Good job.
00:58:53Drop your weapon, or I'll blow her brains out.
00:58:55Ace, don't do it.
00:58:57Drop your weapon!
00:59:05Good job.
00:59:07Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:59:09Good.
00:59:23No.
00:59:25No.
00:59:31No!
00:59:35Are you crazy?
00:59:37He had a gun pointed at your head,
00:59:39and you still went after him.
00:59:41I thought I lost you.
00:59:43It's gonna be okay.
00:59:47I knew exactly what he was doing
00:59:49when he asked me to close my eyes.
00:59:51It's over.
00:59:55No.
00:59:59Who sent you?
01:00:01Talk!
01:00:03Okay, just get me a medic.
01:00:05I don't want to die.
01:00:07You're gonna get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers,
01:00:09so talk!
01:00:11It was Houston.
01:00:13He paid me to kill Carter.
01:00:15The kid and Elena.
01:00:17There's proof.
01:00:19Where?
01:00:21My left jacket pocket.
01:00:23No!
01:00:27Kill that idiot Carter Pearson,
01:00:29and the five million dollars is yours.
01:00:35Why would he murder his own brother?
01:00:37My father's been nothing but kind to him.
01:00:45Cops are on the way.
01:00:47Everything's fine.
01:00:49Ace, I don't understand.
01:00:51If he could be the second largest shareholder,
01:00:53what more could he possibly want?
01:00:55Why would he murder my father?
01:00:59And in front of me, too?
01:01:01I'm gonna have to live with that image
01:01:03scarred into the back of my mind
01:01:05for the rest of my life.
01:01:07Some people just want more,
01:01:09and it's never enough.
01:01:11They're just greedy, and they're monsters,
01:01:13and you never have to think about them again, okay?
01:01:15It's over.
01:01:17It's over.
01:01:19I'm gonna go home.
01:01:21Hey, let's go.
01:01:23Okay.
01:01:35Ace, pull over.
01:01:37What's wrong?
01:01:39Your arm, it's bleeding. Didn't you notice?
01:01:41No, I didn't notice.
01:01:43It must have happened during the fight.
01:01:45You're unbelievable.
01:01:47It's fine.
01:01:49Just pull over right up there.
01:01:51It's fine.
01:01:53No, I'll take care of it. We'll stop for a bit.
01:02:05Ace, why did you cheat on me
01:02:07all those years ago?
01:02:09What? Come on.
01:02:11Tell me the truth, or I swear
01:02:13I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard
01:02:15that you lose.
01:02:23Hey, look, I screwed up,
01:02:25but that's in the past.
01:02:27I just want to move forward, okay?
01:02:29Please be honest with me.
01:02:31Do you still love me?
01:02:33Come on, don't try and dodge the question.
01:02:35Today you could have called for backup,
01:02:37but you didn't.
01:02:39You charged right in to save me.
01:02:41If you didn't care about me,
01:02:43you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
01:02:47I love you.
01:02:49Always have, never stop, not even for a second.
01:02:53I believe you this time.
01:02:55Let's start fresh.
01:02:57I love you, Elena.
01:02:59I've always loved you.
01:03:09Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
01:03:11I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said
01:03:13if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever
01:03:15lose sensation.
01:03:21Today we're here to talk
01:03:23about my healthcare reform strategy.
01:03:25You can't even handle
01:03:27your personal life.
01:03:29The news came out, and this company's stock
01:03:31prices fell another five points.
01:03:33And yet you still think
01:03:35you can push through reforms.
01:03:37I'm the first to object.
01:03:39Elena, do you know how the other healthcare
01:03:41companies are mocking us?
01:03:43They're saying that we're spineless idiots,
01:03:45because we let a woman become the CEO.
01:03:49Uncle Houston,
01:03:51if my scandals are causing such
01:03:53problems for the company,
01:03:55how do you plan to account
01:03:57for the damages that your actions have caused?
01:04:01Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:04:03That's slander.
01:04:05Your father was killed by an angry
01:04:07citizen who was dissatisfied with the current
01:04:09healthcare system.
01:04:11What does that have to do with me?
01:04:17Kill that idiot Carter Pearson,
01:04:19and the five million dollars is yours.
01:04:21Kill that idiot Carter Pearson,
01:04:23and the five million dollars is yours.
01:04:29I testify that Houston Pearson
01:04:31paid me to kill Carter Pearson,
01:04:33and then he paid me to try to kill
01:04:35Elena Pearson.
01:04:43I hereby declare
01:04:45that Houston Pearson is immediately
01:04:47stripped of all its rights
01:04:49Houston Pearson is immediately stripped
01:04:51of all his duties within this group.
01:04:53You murdered my father,
01:04:55and tried to kill me.
01:04:57You need to pay for your crimes.
01:04:59You need to pay for your crimes.
01:05:01Who do you think you are?
01:05:03Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
01:05:05I gave everything to this company.
01:05:07Why should you,
01:05:09the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson,
01:05:11inherit this company?
01:05:13What is wrong with increasing the claim
01:05:15denial rate?
01:05:17Because I developed AI technology
01:05:19that increased our claim denial rate
01:05:21to forty percent,
01:05:23the highest in the industry.
01:05:25And that old fool Carter,
01:05:27he dared to yell at me over this.
01:05:29He deserved to die!
01:05:31Every accomplishment you've made
01:05:33has been riding off of the coattails
01:05:35of struggling people, and my father's life.
01:05:37And you show no remorse for them.
01:05:39You're a monster.
01:05:43Don't move!
01:05:47Raise your hands!
01:05:51Houston Pearson,
01:05:53you're under arrest for first degree murder.
01:06:17Now does anyone else have anything to say?
01:06:23Great.
01:06:25All those in favor of
01:06:27implementing my healthcare reform strategy,
01:06:29raise your hand.
01:06:47Very well.
01:06:49It seems the majority has voted
01:06:51yes.
01:06:53I declare that the healthcare reform plan,
01:06:55with the slogan
01:06:57deliver, declare, and disclose,
01:06:59has officially passed
01:07:01and will be implemented
01:07:03immediately.
01:07:17Cheers!
01:07:27Congratulations on the huge success
01:07:29of the healthcare reform.
01:07:31Bring it in, guys.
01:07:35Congrats, you two.
01:07:37Looks like you guys are officially back together.
01:07:39Should I be planning your reunion party?
01:07:41That's enough.
01:07:43Miss Pearson, if your father
01:07:45was here now, he'd be so
01:07:47proud.
01:07:51Thank you so much, guys.
01:07:53If it hadn't been for you,
01:07:55I don't think my healthcare reform plan
01:07:57would have passed.
01:07:59Especially you, Ace.
01:08:01I don't know
01:08:03what I would have done without you.
01:08:07Well, I'll always
01:08:09be your rock.
01:08:11Cheers!
01:08:13Heck yeah.
01:08:25Hey.
01:08:27Hey.
01:08:29Were you looking for me?
01:08:31Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal
01:08:33and
01:08:35he's trying to make everyone join him.
01:08:37Oh, just keep an eye on him.
01:08:39I don't have any time to waste
01:08:41on stuff.
01:08:43I guess I have to
01:08:45preserve all my energy for you.
01:08:49Mr. Atkins,
01:08:51your duties as a bodyguard
01:08:53are officially over.
01:08:55What's next on your agenda?
01:08:57I have a few ideas.
01:09:11What's wrong?
01:09:31What's wrong?
01:09:35What's wrong?
01:09:37Nothing. Just, um...
01:09:41I don't know
01:09:43if we're in the right
01:09:45place or if it's the right time.
01:09:47What?
01:09:49After everything we've been through, Ace,
01:09:51I thought we were past this.
01:09:53I know, but I, uh...
01:09:55But what?
01:09:59I just, uh...
01:10:01I don't think we should rush into this.
01:10:03I think we should think this through, okay?
01:10:05You're a jerk.
01:10:11Jerk.
01:10:13God, what an asshole.
01:10:15Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:10:41Ace!
01:10:43Ace!
01:10:45It's okay.
01:10:47It's okay. He's dead.
01:10:49It's over.
01:10:59Oh, my God!
01:11:01Miss Pearson!
01:11:03I'm going to call an ambulance!
01:11:11Is he going to be okay, Doctor?
01:11:21Don't.
01:11:23Don't tell
01:11:25Leanne about it.
01:11:27My prosthetic leg.
01:11:29All right.
01:11:31I respect your wishes.
01:11:37Fortunately, the bullet
01:11:39didn't hit any vital organs.
01:11:41His physical condition is
01:11:43excellent, so he should recover
01:11:45quickly.
01:11:47Thank you, Doctor.
01:11:49By the way, there's a police officer
01:11:51waiting for you in the reception room.
01:11:53Okay. I'll go there now, then.
01:11:59Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:12:01Why would someone try and kill me when
01:12:03Houston's already been apprehended?
01:12:05According to our investigation,
01:12:07Chad Vega, one of your company's
01:12:09executives, has been involved in a
01:12:11long-term illegal financial crimes
01:12:13with Houston.
01:12:15The killer was hired by him.
01:12:17What?
01:12:19Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:12:21Ten minutes ago, we apprehended
01:12:23Chad at his residence.
01:12:25You can rest assured that, with
01:12:27Houston's testimony, all related
01:12:29individuals have been arrested.
01:12:31Are you safe?
01:12:33Considering your bodyguard
01:12:35was injured, the police are gonna
01:12:37offer you protection until the trial
01:12:39is over.
01:12:41You can rest.
01:12:43I'm gonna pick up Ace's clothes,
01:12:45and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:12:47Ace?
01:12:59Dear Elena,
01:13:01the bodyguard mission is complete,
01:13:03and you're no longer in danger, so it's time
01:13:05for me to leave.
01:13:07I just wanted to say goodbye, and I wish
01:13:09you all the best.
01:13:11Ace.
01:13:13You're leaving me again?
01:13:15I won't let you leave
01:13:17without an explanation.
01:13:31It's her.
01:13:43The woman that Ace
01:13:45cheated on me with.
01:13:47So you're a physical therapist?
01:13:49That's your
01:13:51daughter and husband?
01:13:53Yes. I'm
01:13:55so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:13:57You didn't date Ace, so
01:13:59why did you help him deceive me?
01:14:01This involves Ace's privacy,
01:14:03and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:14:05But Elena,
01:14:07I assure you Ace did not
01:14:09betray you. Then why?
01:14:11Why did he
01:14:13lie to me, make me hate him, and
01:14:15break up with me?
01:14:17I think you're supposed to uncover the truth
01:14:19for yourself.
01:14:21But I think that deep down,
01:14:23Ace really wants you to know
01:14:25everything. He's just
01:14:27too afraid to tell you.
01:14:35Elena,
01:14:37what are you doing here? Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital
01:14:39and he just left me a note. Do you know where
01:14:41he is? What?
01:14:43Doesn't he know how important it is
01:14:45to recover properly after his surgery
01:14:47for his new prosthetic leg?
01:14:51What do you mean prosthetic leg?
01:14:53Oh man.
01:14:55I wasn't supposed to say that.
01:14:57Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
01:14:59Alright.
01:15:01Three years ago,
01:15:03Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:15:05Your father told him that
01:15:07a disabled person would only burden you.
01:15:09So,
01:15:11he pretended to cheat on you
01:15:13and broke up with you.
01:15:15Later, after he got his prosthetic leg,
01:15:17he still felt like a disabled person.
01:15:19He thought a great girl like you
01:15:21deserved better.
01:15:23So, he avoided you
01:15:25at critical moments.
01:15:29Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:15:31He's getting his new prosthetic leg
01:15:33fixed right now. Go find him, Elena.
01:15:35Ace, you jerk.
01:15:37How could you keep something
01:15:39so important from me?
01:15:41This time, I won't let you go. I won't let you walk
01:15:43away again.
01:15:45Fortunately, you came in time.
01:15:47The old prosthetic didn't do
01:15:49too much damage to the nerves.
01:15:51With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:15:53This one is
01:15:55newly made for you. Try it.
01:15:57Thanks.
01:16:19This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:16:21This is why you've been
01:16:23pushing me away?
01:16:25What are you doing here?
01:16:27You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.
01:16:29This is why you've been
01:16:31pushing me away?
01:16:33Elena,
01:16:35I'm sorry.
01:16:37I'm sorry.
01:16:39I'm sorry.
01:16:41I'm sorry.
01:16:43I'm sorry.
01:16:45I'm sorry.
01:16:47Elena,
01:16:49you shouldn't be
01:16:51seeing me like this. I need you to leave right now.
01:16:53Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:16:55Do you really think
01:16:57that little of me?
01:16:59That I'm just a shallow,
01:17:01unsupportive partner?
01:17:03How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena?
01:17:05I mean, why would a guy like me
01:17:07be able to be with
01:17:09a perfect woman like you?
01:17:11Huh?
01:17:13I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to
01:17:15three years ago. I mean, you don't know how this
01:17:17feels, okay? I mean, just fucking look at me!
01:17:19Elena, I can't even stand up straight!
01:17:21But I love you!
01:17:23Ace, can't you
01:17:25see?
01:17:27No matter how you feel about
01:17:29yourself, I have always
01:17:31loved you. Always!
01:17:37Elena, come on. Why?
01:17:39Just stop pushing me away!
01:17:41Ace Adkins,
01:17:43Ace Adkins, you listen to me right now.
01:17:47You have left me
01:17:49so many times.
01:17:51You can't keep running
01:17:53from me. I am here
01:17:55to stay.
01:17:57Got it?
01:17:59I love you so much. I'm sorry.
01:18:01I'm sorry.
01:18:13Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:18:15Come on, don't try and be tough.
01:18:17No, this one's
01:18:19more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:18:21So, you know, I wouldn't
01:18:23blame you if you didn't want to
01:18:25do this. I'm disabled, and
01:18:27I might
01:18:29become a burden to you when we're older.
01:18:31Have you thought about that?
01:18:33If you ever say something
01:18:35so pessimistic again, I will
01:18:37kill you.
01:18:39If you ever say something
01:18:41so pessimistic again, I will
01:18:43twist your ear off.
01:18:45I love Ace Adkins.
01:18:47The person, not
01:18:49the leg. So what if you're
01:18:51missing a leg? I will love you all the same.
01:18:53Would you leave me if I
01:18:55was missing a leg?
01:18:57No.
01:18:59No, of course not.
01:19:01I'll always be by your side.
01:19:03Then let me do the same.
01:19:05I am choosing
01:19:07you, okay?
01:19:11Got it.
01:19:25Miss Pearson,
01:19:27your compensation clause
01:19:29for critical illness has saved
01:19:31my daughter's life.
01:19:35Miss Pearson,
01:19:37your healthcare reform plan has been a great
01:19:39success, making you the most popular
01:19:41CEO in the U.S.
01:19:43What made you insist on healthcare reform despite everyone's
01:19:45doubts?
01:19:47I was able to overcome many
01:19:49obstacles and achieve reform success,
01:19:51partly due to great planning,
01:19:53but also because of my
01:19:55fiancé, Ace Adkins.
01:19:59His love helped me overcome
01:20:01all difficulties.
