00:00:00Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare, was fatally shot by a gunman on 5th Avenue.
00:00:05Will Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, be the next target?
00:00:15Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:00:17I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:00:21I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple!
00:00:24It's over. I got myself a new girl.
00:00:27I hate you, Azak!
00:00:30You broke my heart. Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:00:36Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:00:44Elena, I can't be with you. I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:00:48We want Pearson Group.
00:00:50We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:00:52Please, Ace, save me!
00:01:00You
00:01:14Yes!
00:01:22Your deployment's tomorrow.
00:01:24I'm still worried.
00:01:26Don't worry. I'm gonna be back.
00:01:28As long as you're safe and sound, the first thing we're gonna do is get married.
00:01:30I'll be waiting.
00:01:48Oh, my God.
00:01:54Thank you so much.
00:01:56It's so good to see you.
00:01:58So good to see you.
00:02:00I miss you a lot.
00:02:02Can't wait to go home together.
00:02:04Yeah, what are you having for dinner?
00:02:06I'm so sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace?
00:02:08He was supposed to come out with you.
00:02:10Ace? He's been back for a month.
00:02:12He didn't tell you?
00:02:14What?
00:02:16Call him up. You'll see.
00:02:18Let's go.
00:02:22Ace came back a month ago.
00:02:25But he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:02:33Ace, open up! I know you're in there!
00:02:35Ace!
00:02:37Ace!
00:02:55Ace, what are you doing?
00:02:57Who is that woman?
00:03:03Ace, open the door!
00:03:05Who the hell are you?
00:03:07And what do you want with Ace?
00:03:09I need to see him.
00:03:15Ace!
00:03:17Explain!
00:03:19Look, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:03:21It's over.
00:03:23I got myself a new girl.
00:03:25It's time for you to move on.
00:03:27What do you mean it's over?
00:03:29I waited for you for three years.
00:03:31You said we were going to get married when you came back.
00:03:33And now you're just telling me to move on?
00:03:35I was just fooling around that whole time.
00:03:37I didn't mean any of it.
00:03:39Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally.
00:03:41She's the one, alright?
00:03:43It's not you.
00:03:45I don't believe you.
00:03:47I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face.
00:03:49You owe me that at least.
00:03:51That's the problem with you, isn't it?
00:03:53You're always demanding this, demanding that.
00:03:55If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy.
00:03:57You're a spoiled, rich heiress.
00:03:59And no guy wants a woman like that.
00:04:01Can't you understand that?
00:04:03Just fuck off.
00:04:05My dad was right about you.
00:04:09And I never should have fallen for you.
00:04:11I hate Ace Atkins!
00:04:21Did you really have to be so cruel?
00:04:23I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth.
00:04:25She's not going to leave you.
00:04:37That's what I'm afraid of.
00:04:39I love her.
00:04:41She's got to let her go.
00:04:47Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:04:50Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:05:12I want you to end things with Elena.
00:05:14The engagement is off.
00:05:16Take this money as your compensation.
00:05:18Mr. Pearson, I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you.
00:05:23Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money.
00:05:25All I need is a chance to talk to Elena.
00:05:27That's all I'm asking for.
00:05:29What can you possibly do for Elena?
00:05:31When you can't even stand on your own?
00:05:33All you'll do is break her heart.
00:05:35I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:05:39If you really love her, leave her alone!
00:05:48No!
00:06:08Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:06:10I really appreciate it.
00:06:12We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes.
00:06:14I'll go get the equipment.
00:06:18I love you, Elena.
00:06:20Forget about me.
00:06:22You'll find happiness again.
00:06:30Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare,
00:06:34was fatally shot by a gunman on Fifth Avenue.
00:06:36Police suspect the attack may be related to the wave of insurance policy changes
00:06:40that Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement.
00:06:42For now, the gunman remains at large,
00:06:44while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter,
00:06:46is set to take over as CEO.
00:07:00Clean that up.
00:07:08Good morning, gentlemen.
00:07:10I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:07:13I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:07:17The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage,
00:07:23and to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
00:07:27My plan...
00:07:31What the hell is your shit plan?
00:07:33You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:07:35I reject it.
00:07:37Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies have led to my father's death.
00:07:39My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:07:41No matter what you say,
00:07:43I will never, ever change my mind.
00:07:47Really?
00:07:49You think you can control the entire group?
00:07:51I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:07:53You think you can control the entire group?
00:07:55I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:08:23No!
00:08:41Looks like you all need some more training still.
00:08:43You've got a long way to go.
00:08:49Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform,
00:08:51or will she be next on the assassin's list?
00:08:53Hey Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:08:55Hey Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:08:57Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:08:59You could totally assign someone else to handle Lena's case.
00:09:01You could totally assign someone else to handle Lena's case.
00:09:03So you heard the news too, huh?
00:09:05You think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh?
00:09:09I'll handle it.
00:09:12Lena, today you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:09:14Lena, today you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:09:16We will vote to dismiss you as CEO. Simple as that.
00:09:18We will vote to dismiss you as CEO. Simple as that.
00:09:20Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:09:22Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:09:24Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:09:26Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:09:28Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:09:30Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:09:32Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:09:42Have you lost your mind?
00:09:44Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:09:46No one here will testify against me.
00:09:48Just sign the damn paper.
00:09:50Are you all going to let him do this?
00:09:52Are you all going to let him do this?
00:09:54Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those lowlifes.
00:09:56Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those lowlifes.
00:09:58Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:10:06Let's go, guys.
00:10:08Let's go, guys.
00:10:12Let's go, guys.
00:10:22Get your hands off of her.
00:10:24No way.
00:10:26That voice.
00:10:28It can't be him.
00:10:30It can't be him.
00:10:32It can't be him.
00:10:42Miss Pearson,
00:10:44I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:10:46I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:10:48It's been three years.
00:10:50I've missed you, Elena.
00:10:52You're my what?
00:10:54Jesus, Elena.
00:10:56Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:10:58Are you stupid or something?
00:11:00You insult my boss again.
00:11:02You're going to be the one that needs some fucking health care.
00:11:04Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:11:06Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:11:12Leave or you're fired.
00:11:14I don't give a shit you're my uncle.
00:11:16There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena.
00:11:18And that's to get rid of them.
00:11:20Just like I got rid of your father.
00:11:26What are you doing here?
00:11:28No one told me anything
00:11:30about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:11:32Miss Pearson,
00:11:34Mr. Atkins,
00:11:36I'm Oliver,
00:11:38the family butler.
00:11:40Yes, Mr. Ace Atkins
00:11:42is the most sought-after
00:11:44bodyguard in America.
00:11:46Now, as per the contract,
00:11:48he will provide you
00:11:50protection 24 hours
00:11:52to ensure your safety
00:11:54at all times.
00:11:56No.
00:11:58I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:12:02I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:12:04Oliver, you can get me
00:12:06literally anyone else.
00:12:08Anyone but him.
00:12:10Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:12:12With him around,
00:12:14your safety is practically
00:12:16guaranteed.
00:12:18Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute?
00:12:20I need to talk to him.
00:12:22Yes, ma'am.
00:12:26Ace, what are you doing here?
00:12:28I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:12:30Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now
00:12:32and, uh, well,
00:12:34I was worried about you.
00:12:37You broke up three years ago.
00:12:39You cheated on me.
00:12:41You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:12:43The last thing I need right now
00:12:45is you being my bodyguard.
00:12:47The contract's already signed,
00:12:49so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:12:51Now go.
00:12:53I don't really understand why you're
00:12:55refusing all of this help.
00:12:57Are you afraid you're gonna
00:12:59fall in love with me again?
00:13:03Are you afraid you're gonna
00:13:05Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:13:07You're delusional.
00:13:09Oh, I know.
00:13:13The rational thing to do
00:13:15is to think of your safety right now,
00:13:17so just let me protect you.
00:13:19Only an idiot
00:13:21would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them
00:13:23while they were engaged.
00:13:25Let go.
00:13:29Take me home.
00:13:35Elena!
00:13:39Asshole.
00:13:41You broke my heart.
00:13:43Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:13:49That's odd.
00:13:51I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:14:00Someone broke in.
00:14:02The killer?
00:14:05Ah!
00:14:24Why so surprised, princess?
00:14:26Didn't you know
00:14:28you were gonna be next?
00:14:32No. I don't wanna die, please.
00:14:34Someone help me.
00:15:04No.
00:15:14Ace.
00:15:16Oh, God.
00:15:18I thought I was gonna die.
00:15:20I thought you were safe.
00:15:22You're hurt.
00:15:24Are you all right?
00:15:26You saved me.
00:15:28Ace.
00:15:31You're bleeding.
00:15:37He might be an asshole, but damn,
00:15:39he's even hotter than he used to be.
00:15:41He's still got that same glow.
00:15:43God, I missed her.
00:15:47Do you remember?
00:15:49The last time?
00:15:51Yeah.
00:15:53The bathroom.
00:16:01He's hot.
00:16:03He's hot.
00:16:05He's hot.
00:16:07He's hot.
00:16:13That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:16:15I should wrap that up.
00:16:19He tried to stab me in the leg,
00:16:21and he missed. It's fine.
00:16:23I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:16:25Ace, is there something wrong?
00:16:27It's fine.
00:16:29Okay.
00:16:55Oh, my...
00:16:59Am I interrupting?
00:17:01No.
00:17:03No.
00:17:05Ace cut himself,
00:17:07and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:17:11Mr. Atkins,
00:17:13I brought your luggage up.
00:17:15Great.
00:17:19Mr. Atkins,
00:17:21I brought your luggage up.
00:17:23Great.
00:17:25Wait. He's not staying with me.
00:17:27Yes, Miss Pearson.
00:17:29Of course.
00:17:31That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:17:33The contract clearly states
00:17:35that Mr. Atkins
00:17:37must remain by your side
00:17:3924-7
00:17:41to ensure your safety.
00:17:43Oliver, it's not just about the contract.
00:17:45I can't...
00:17:47I can't let my ex-boyfriend
00:17:49live with me as my bodyguard.
00:17:51You must understand.
00:17:53You might very well
00:17:55be the next target.
00:17:57If you fail
00:17:59to understand this,
00:18:01then I shall have to tender
00:18:03my letter of resignation.
00:18:05I'll be fine.
00:18:07Oliver, you win.
00:18:09Brilliant.
00:18:11Mr. Atkins,
00:18:13from here on out,
00:18:16Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:18:23I would take a bullet for her.
00:18:37You're the first door on the left.
00:18:39You can stay there.
00:18:41I'll wait out here.
00:18:43Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:18:45We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:18:47Now, if you're gonna be
00:18:49staying here, we need to establish some boundaries.
00:18:51So,
00:18:53here's how it's gonna go.
00:18:55You are gonna do your job as my bodyguard,
00:18:57and I'm gonna live my life.
00:18:59Nothing else.
00:19:01Is that clear?
00:19:03Crystal,
00:19:05I'll go unpack my stuff.
00:19:15Is this his wallet?
00:19:27You said you never left me,
00:19:29so why do you have a photo of me
00:19:31inside your wallet?
00:19:39I checked the house.
00:19:41It's all clear.
00:19:43Safe to sleep.
00:19:45Great. Thanks.
00:19:47I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:20:13Ah!
00:20:15Shit.
00:20:25Sorry.
00:20:27I thought you were in danger.
00:20:29Hand me that towel.
00:20:43It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:20:53Be professional.
00:20:55I'm still your boss, remember?
00:21:01Yes, ma'am.
00:21:13You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:21:15And after all these years,
00:21:17I still feel the same about you.
00:21:20You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:21:22And after all these years,
00:21:24I still feel the same about you.
00:21:42Hey, sir.
00:21:44I have some scar cream for you.
00:21:46Yeah, just hold on a second.
00:21:48Hey, what's up?
00:21:50Hey.
00:21:52Just...
00:21:54I have something for the scars.
00:21:56I can put it on.
00:22:10I'm surprised that you still have it.
00:22:12It's been a while.
00:22:14I'm surprised that you still, uh...
00:22:18show this much care for me still.
00:22:20Get over yourself.
00:22:22I'm just helping you
00:22:24because I'm nice.
00:22:26Elena, calm yourself.
00:22:28He's just a stupid ex
00:22:30with a hot body.
00:22:32Okay.
00:22:36I'm done.
00:22:44Okay, what is with you
00:22:46and this blanket?
00:22:48I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:22:50I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:22:52My leg is fine.
00:22:54I'm just sitting.
00:22:56That's how I sit.
00:22:58I call BS. Let me see it.
00:23:01What if I'm, um...
00:23:03hiding something under there?
00:23:05Maybe I'm hiding
00:23:07the owner.
00:23:09Let's see it.
00:23:15Um...
00:23:19You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:23:21You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:23:23You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:23:25You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:23:27You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:23:29You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:23:31You're my bodyguard.
00:23:33We should keep things professional.
00:23:37Good night.
00:23:39Good night.
00:23:43You're right, Elena.
00:23:45I'm just your bodyguard.
00:23:47Elena,
00:23:49I want you to put this on.
00:23:51It's lightweight.
00:23:53You won't even feel it.
00:23:55I'm not wearing that.
00:23:57You can either do it yourself
00:23:59or I can strip your clothes off for you.
00:24:01And I can do it.
00:24:03And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:24:05Okay, I can do it myself.
00:24:07Ma'am?
00:24:09Got it.
00:24:37Why does he have to be
00:24:39so damn attractive?
00:24:45Okay, I have to go.
00:24:47I'm late for work.
00:24:49Yes, ma'am.
00:24:55I'm assuming that assassination
00:24:57didn't go as planned?
00:24:59That idiot calls himself a hitman
00:25:01and he can't handle a defenseless woman?
00:25:03Jan?
00:25:06Jan?
00:25:08I'm leaving this to you.
00:25:10Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb,
00:25:12and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:25:14Consider it done.
00:25:20Jesus, Chad,
00:25:22how many times have I told you to knock?
00:25:24Why didn't you run?
00:25:26You owe me dinner, remember?
00:25:28I remember.
00:25:30But I'm swamped with work
00:25:32and planning a funeral,
00:25:34so let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:25:36You've been working too hard
00:25:38since your father passed.
00:25:40This is how people get burned down.
00:25:42You need to take some time off to relax.
00:25:50Yeah.
00:25:52You know what?
00:25:54Let's do dinner.
00:25:58Great.
00:26:04Sir,
00:26:06this is a table for two.
00:26:10Why don't you go sit over there?
00:26:34I'm Ms. Pearson's bodyguard.
00:26:36I've got to keep a tight perimeter
00:26:38around her at all times,
00:26:40but thanks for checking in.
00:26:52Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:26:54You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:26:56Go ahead.
00:26:5882 Lafite.
00:27:00Your favorite.
00:27:02I found a collector who was willing
00:27:04to sell it to me.
00:27:06Here, have a taste.
00:27:10Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad,
00:27:12that you're not offering me a drink.
00:27:14I am attending this dinner
00:27:16with the two of you, aren't I?
00:27:18Well, Mr. Atkins,
00:27:20seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard,
00:27:22I didn't find it appropriate
00:27:24for you to be here.
00:27:27My apologies,
00:27:29Elena.
00:27:33I know how tough it's been for you,
00:27:35and I want you to know
00:27:37that I'm here for you,
00:27:39always,
00:27:41and that my heart belongs to you.
00:27:45Sorry, Chad.
00:27:47I'm not really in the mood
00:27:49to talk about all that.
00:27:51I'm sorry.
00:27:53Sorry, Chad.
00:27:55I'm not really in the mood
00:27:57to talk about all that.
00:27:59Can we eat?
00:28:01I'm starving.
00:28:03Yeah, Sam.
00:28:05The mango salad.
00:28:09Oh, hey, Sam.
00:28:11Sorry about that.
00:28:13She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:28:15Do you mind bringing out
00:28:17another plate without them?
00:28:19He still remembers?
00:28:21Wait,
00:28:23didn't you two just meet?
00:28:25How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:28:27How would he know
00:28:29that you don't like mangoes?
00:28:31Well, we actually go
00:28:33way back, and I know a hell of a lot
00:28:35more about her than just her preference of mangoes.
00:28:37He's my bodyguard.
00:28:39Of course, Oliver told him everything
00:28:41that he needed to know.
00:28:43I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:28:47Okay, something's
00:28:50definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:29:16What was that
00:29:18tonight?
00:29:20If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:29:22Maybe you're just seeing things
00:29:24the way you want to see them.
00:29:26You ever think about that?
00:29:28How could I forget?
00:29:30Right, you shattered my heart.
00:29:34Save it!
00:29:36Just go home.
00:29:38You have funeral preparations to make anyway.
00:29:44I'm sorry, Elena.
00:29:46I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:29:48I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:29:54Elena!
00:29:56Elena?
00:29:58Chad, you're back!
00:30:12Dad!
00:30:14What's going on?
00:30:16Please.
00:30:18It's fine. I'm here, okay?
00:30:20You're safe.
00:30:22I had a dream about my dad.
00:30:26One second he was smiling at me
00:30:28and then the next.
00:30:38I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:30:41Do you really think
00:30:43that I can make a change in this industry?
00:30:53You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:30:57And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:31:01Besides, I'm going to be right here the whole time supporting you.
00:31:03Protecting you.
00:31:07Protecting me?
00:31:11Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:31:17A relationship that is in the past.
00:31:21But I would protect you with my life.
00:31:23I'd die for you.
00:31:25I need you to understand that.
00:31:29So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:31:31So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:31:39So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:32:01Stay with me.
00:32:07I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:32:11You're my bodyguard
00:32:13and I'm scared.
00:32:17Stay with me
00:32:19so I can feel safe.
00:32:31If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:32:39If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:32:47What are we doing here?
00:32:49I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:32:51You know, just in case.
00:32:53Always got to be prepared.
00:32:57What I mean is, in case I die first
00:32:59and you're still in danger
00:33:01you can fight your way out.
00:33:05First case scenario.
00:33:11What would you do
00:33:13if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:33:21No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:33:25Try putting your hand on a more
00:33:28vulnerable place.
00:33:30That one there.
00:33:34Push as hard as you can.
00:33:40Right.
00:33:42Nice.
00:33:46Alright, second scenario.
00:33:50What if somebody
00:33:52had you like this?
00:33:58What if somebody
00:34:02had you like this?
00:34:06It's just self-defense training.
00:34:08Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:34:10That's your move.
00:34:14Um, I'd go for
00:34:16the more vulnerable part.
00:34:18Like stomping on the floor.
00:34:24Very nice. You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:34:26Okay.
00:34:28Third scenario.
00:34:30You ready?
00:34:32Alright.
00:34:34What?
00:34:40Someone's got you like this.
00:34:42Starts choking you.
00:34:44Um.
00:34:46Gotta be quick.
00:34:48Like this?
00:34:50Use your hips.
00:34:52What?
00:34:54Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:34:56As hard as you can.
00:35:00Ace, are you okay?
00:35:02Did I hurt your leg?
00:35:04No.
00:35:06What was that sound?
00:35:10It didn't hurt my leg.
00:35:12It's fine. That was a good job.
00:35:14No, you're hurt.
00:35:16Fine. That was good work, though.
00:35:18Seriously.
00:35:20Ace, the new security equipment just arrived.
00:35:23Yeah, sure. Thanks, Josh.
00:35:25Good job today.
00:35:27Seriously.
00:35:33That sound was weird.
00:35:41Ace is hiding something from me.
00:35:43Hi.
00:35:45Alina, right?
00:35:47I'm Josh.
00:35:49I used to serve with Ace in the military,
00:35:51and now we're colleagues.
00:35:53He talks about you a lot.
00:35:55Hi, Josh.
00:35:57I'm sorry. Can I ask?
00:35:59Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:36:05Leg?
00:36:07No. Not that I know of.
00:36:09You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:36:11Everyone here knows that
00:36:13there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:36:15And that person is you, Alina.
00:36:17You're mistaken.
00:36:19He doesn't love me.
00:36:21At all.
00:36:23If you knew him, then you would know
00:36:25that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:36:27You know, I might be just an outsider,
00:36:29but I know Ace.
00:36:31Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:36:35All right.
00:36:37I gotta go check up on Ace and the new equipment.
00:36:39It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:36:43Maybe some things aren't what they seem?
00:36:45What does that even mean?
00:36:47Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:36:49Everything looks great.
00:36:55Ace, Alina asked about your leg.
00:36:59What'd you say?
00:37:03What'd you say?
00:37:05Don't worry. I didn't say a word.
00:37:07But, honestly, man,
00:37:09I think she still cares about you.
00:37:11Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:37:14I appreciate your input, Josh,
00:37:16but I think I know what's best for Alina and I.
00:37:18You might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:37:20It's overdue for a replacement.
00:37:22If you keep stalling,
00:37:24you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:37:26You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:37:28I'm still on the job.
00:37:30I can't leave Alina alone.
00:37:32I think that would be very irresponsible of me,
00:37:34don't you think, Josh?
00:37:36Man, you're one hell of a romantic.
00:37:38You know that?
00:37:40Yeah, well, that makes one of us.
00:37:42You're right.
00:37:57Almighty God,
00:37:59in your mercy,
00:38:01turn the darkness of death
00:38:03into the dawn of new life
00:38:05and the sorrow of parting
00:38:07into the joy of heaven
00:38:09through our Savior Jesus Christ
00:38:11who lives again and lives forevermore.
00:38:13Amen.
00:38:19My deepest condolences.
00:38:21May your father rest in peace.
00:38:23Your father knew that your reckless reform
00:38:25to be tearing his company apart
00:38:27would never rest in peace.
00:38:29He was your brother.
00:38:31If you had even a shred of affection for him,
00:38:33you would never say something like that
00:38:35at his funeral.
00:38:37You know, Uncle Houston, I've always wondered.
00:38:40You've been far angrier about the health care reforms
00:38:42than my own father's murder.
00:38:44Could it be that you had something to do
00:38:46with his death?
00:38:48That is outrageous slander.
00:38:50How dare you accuse me
00:38:52of murdering my brother
00:38:54at his funeral?
00:39:04Sorry for your loss.
00:39:09It's okay.
00:39:11It's enough.
00:39:42This was my father's favorite.
00:39:44I got it for him for his birthday,
00:39:46but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:39:59Right here.
00:40:01Not going anywhere.
00:40:11Good night.
00:40:17Don't go.
00:40:23Can you promise
00:40:25you won't leave me again?
00:40:27I promise.
00:40:29I'll never leave you again.
00:40:31Josh said that there's
00:40:33someone in your heart.
00:40:35Someone that you can't forget.
00:40:37Is that someone me?
00:40:42Tell me, Ace.
00:40:50Yes.
00:40:52That someone is you.
00:40:54And it always has been.
00:40:56If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:40:58Look, it's been a long day.
00:41:00I don't think
00:41:02we should talk about it.
00:41:04I'm just gonna end up hurting you.
00:41:06You did hurt me!
00:41:08Three years ago,
00:41:10I waited for you to come back
00:41:12and marry me, and then you left me
00:41:14for another woman!
00:41:16You broke my heart!
00:41:18And then you just walked back into my life
00:41:20like nothing happened!
00:41:22No!
00:41:40laughs
00:42:02laughs
00:42:04Oh my God, I drank too much.
00:42:06Can we
00:42:08sleep together?
00:42:10You hungry?
00:42:12Get you breakfast.
00:42:14Last night,
00:42:16we...
00:42:18You were drunk.
00:42:20Very drunk. I took care of you.
00:42:22That was it.
00:42:24He's not gonna mention the kiss.
00:42:26Jerk.
00:42:28Well,
00:42:30thank you so much
00:42:32for taking such great care of me,
00:42:34Mr. Bodyguard.
00:42:38laughs
00:42:44You've been far angrier
00:42:46about the health care reforms
00:42:48than my own father's murder!
00:42:50Haven't you dealt with that bitch Elena yet?
00:42:52She's starting to suspect I had something
00:42:54to do with her father's death.
00:42:56She's hard to handle.
00:42:58The Bodyguard of hers is practically
00:43:00glued onto her. I can never get her alone
00:43:02to make any real progress.
00:43:04This will not do.
00:43:06Elena is already within the company.
00:43:08Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:43:10If she keeps this up,
00:43:12I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:43:14What do you want me to do?
00:43:16The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:43:18Elena will undoubtedly
00:43:20use it to rally more support from the board.
00:43:22What you're going to do
00:43:24is invite her to go as your date,
00:43:26and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:43:28Tell her she'll get more support from the board
00:43:30if she's married with a husband.
00:43:32We can use the engagement to shift public focus
00:43:34on the reform.
00:43:36Kill two birds with one stone. I like that.
00:43:38Exactly. The media will be there,
00:43:40and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:43:42There's no way she risks tanking the company's
00:43:44stock prices again.
00:43:48Elena.
00:43:50I was hoping I would
00:43:52be able to escort you to the company dinner
00:43:54this weekend.
00:43:56I told you,
00:43:58Mr. Vegas would be chasing this person.
00:44:00He's been at it for ages.
00:44:02Impressive.
00:44:10Chad, I...
00:44:12Elena, trust me.
00:44:14I can help you win over a couple more
00:44:16board members for the health care reform plan.
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:24Yes, I'd love to go to dinner.
00:44:26Great. See you later.
00:44:32♪
00:44:46How do I look?
00:44:48You look beautiful.
00:44:50You know, I don't know
00:44:52if you have to dress so formally.
00:44:54What, are you jealous?
00:44:56I just don't think
00:44:58that that guy
00:45:00deserves
00:45:02all of this.
00:45:08Oh, speak of the devil.
00:45:10Wow. Beautiful.
00:45:12Elena, we should get going.
00:45:14We're gonna be late.
00:45:16And, uh, Ace,
00:45:18remember your place, okay, there, sport?
00:45:20You're the bodyguard.
00:45:22So make sure you
00:45:24keep a professional distance
00:45:26between you and your employer, yeah?
00:45:30♪
00:45:42Elena's health care reform plan
00:45:44might have some short-term losses,
00:45:46but I believe the long-term benefits
00:45:48far outweigh the
00:45:50small drawbacks.
00:45:52Forget about that for a moment.
00:45:54What we're really curious about
00:45:56is how far you two have gotten.
00:45:58Given the company's current
00:46:00PR crisis, announcing a wedding
00:46:02might actually help repair
00:46:04its image. Elena,
00:46:06Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:46:08Oh, um,
00:46:10Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:46:12Chad and I are...
00:46:14Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:46:20Our company has faced
00:46:22challenges recently,
00:46:24but on this special
00:46:26night, our new CEO,
00:46:28Miss Elena Pearson,
00:46:30would like to say a few words.
00:46:34Before
00:46:36Miss Pearson says anything,
00:46:38I have a surprise for her.
00:46:42I have a surprise for her.
00:46:44Elena, I have loved
00:46:46you for so long.
00:46:56Will you marry me?
00:46:58Marry him!
00:47:00Marry him!
00:47:02Marry him!
00:47:04Marry him!
00:47:06Marry him!
00:47:08Marry him!
00:47:10Marry him!
00:47:12Marry him!
00:47:14Chad, stand up. What are you doing?
00:47:16I don't...
00:47:18Come on, let's go. We're leaving.
00:47:26Come on.
00:47:38What the hell are you doing?
00:47:40Storming out like that in front of all those guests.
00:47:42Do you realize how bad you're making the company's image look?
00:47:44Oh, really? So what, you're gonna just
00:47:46marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:47:48That's ridiculous.
00:47:50Who I marry is none of your business.
00:47:52We're over, Ace. You're just my bodyguard.
00:47:54You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:47:56You don't mean that.
00:47:58You don't love that guy. You barely fucking know him.
00:48:00Who I love is
00:48:02none of your concern.
00:48:04Don't pretend to care about me,
00:48:06Ace Atkins, when you've pushed me away
00:48:08over and over again.
00:48:10Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal,
00:48:12you would have nothing to do with it, and you couldn't stop me.
00:48:24Elena! Elena, where are you?
00:48:28Elena, are you in there?
00:48:34Tell him you're busy.
00:48:36Make him leave.
00:48:40Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:48:54I'll be out in a minute.
00:48:56Are you sure you're okay?
00:49:02Yeah, I'm fine. Just...
00:49:04Just go.
00:49:24Go.
00:49:32Ace, you're a bastard.
00:49:34Look, Elena, I'm sorry about that,
00:49:36but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:49:38Oh, and you do?
00:49:40You abandoned me.
00:49:42We were supposed to get married.
00:49:44You have no right to say that to me.
00:49:46What do you think's going on here?
00:49:48Do you think that I
00:49:50don't love you?
00:49:52Elena!
00:49:54Who's in there with you?
00:49:56How much what? What are you saying?
00:50:00How much what? What are you saying?
00:50:02Elena!
00:50:04What do you think?
00:50:10What are you two doing in here?
00:50:12I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:50:14You told me it was just a date to the gala,
00:50:16and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:50:18Proposing in front of everyone?
00:50:20What? Have you lost your mind?
00:50:22Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long,
00:50:24and you've never rejected me.
00:50:26So that has to mean
00:50:28that you feel the same way.
00:50:30What? I haven't said anything.
00:50:32You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:50:34What's the difference, hmm?
00:50:36Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.
00:50:38Since you've never rejected me,
00:50:40it's clear that you like me.
00:50:42It's only natural for us to be together.
00:50:44Hey, don't step closer.
00:50:46And who the hell are you?
00:50:48You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:50:50Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:50:52Acting all on your high horse,
00:50:54but deep down,
00:50:56you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:51:06Bravo.
00:51:08You two are the perfect pair of adulters.
00:51:10Hey, this must be nice, huh?
00:51:12Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:51:14Shut the fuck up.
00:51:16Are you nervous?
00:51:18Elena, you have the audacity
00:51:20to accuse me
00:51:22of damaging the company?
00:51:24Take a look in the mirror.
00:51:26You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:51:28You're the real disgrace to the Pearson group.
00:51:36See that girl right there?
00:51:38There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:51:40You're not going to disrespect her.
00:51:42You show face around here again,
00:51:44and I'm going to kick your ass.
00:51:56You left me?
00:52:00Did you mean what you said?
00:52:04Please just tell me the truth.
00:52:06That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:52:10No.
00:52:12Elena, I can't be with you.
00:52:14I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:52:16I'm not whole. I'll never be enough for you.
00:52:18That was just impulsive.
00:52:20I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
00:52:22You're lying.
00:52:24You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:52:28You'd risk your life for me.
00:52:30You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:52:32That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
00:52:34That is something more, and you know it.
00:52:36Moments ago, right here,
00:52:38you said that you love me
00:52:40more than anything else in the world.
00:52:44Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:52:48Elena, look.
00:52:54Look.
00:52:56I'm here to guard you.
00:52:58I'm your bodyguard.
00:53:00I shouldn't have crossed the line,
00:53:02and I'm sorry.
00:53:04Now, let's go.
00:53:06Stay away from me.
00:53:08Elena.
00:53:12I'm sorry, Elena.
00:53:14I can't hold you back.
00:53:16You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:53:22Can't handle one woman?
00:53:24Absolutely useless.
00:53:26That bitch has been screwing her bodyguard
00:53:28the whole damn time! What do you want me to do?
00:53:30That pathetic, freaking loser!
00:53:34I'm gonna kill him.
00:53:36It's only a matter of time.
00:53:38If that's the case,
00:53:40there's only one option left.
00:53:42If we want Pearson Group,
00:53:44we're going to have to eliminate her.
00:53:46Just like we did her father.
00:54:00You think you can fix
00:54:02everything with these little tricks?
00:54:04It won't work, Ace.
00:54:06It's your favorite.
00:54:08French toast.
00:54:10Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:54:12I know it's been a while,
00:54:14so I hope it tastes like
00:54:16how you remember it.
00:54:18Oliver?
00:54:32What are you doing here?
00:54:34This
00:54:36is a signed first edition.
00:54:38Mr. Atkins
00:54:40went through several of his connections
00:54:42to track that down
00:54:44for you.
00:54:46While you were at your meetings,
00:54:48he took it upon himself to
00:54:50redecorate your entire office.
00:55:00Do you really think gestures like these
00:55:02are going to make me forgive you?
00:55:06I just want you to be happy.
00:55:08Elena,
00:55:10whether you forgive me or not
00:55:12doesn't really matter.
00:55:14You can hate me and push me away
00:55:16if that's what you want.
00:55:18But please,
00:55:20just don't let this anger
00:55:22eat away at you.
00:55:24It wasn't your fault.
00:55:26None of it was.
00:55:28It was mine.
00:55:30Don't think you've won me over.
00:55:32I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:55:36Don't think you've won me over.
00:55:38I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:55:40Go make me a coffee.
00:55:42I'll see you soon.
00:55:48Ms. Pearson,
00:55:50if I may say,
00:55:52Mr. Atkins cares for you
00:55:54deeply.
00:55:56And from the way you look at him,
00:55:58it's clear you feel the same
00:56:00way. So why not
00:56:02just be together?
00:56:04Oliver, you don't understand.
00:56:06Every time I take a step forward,
00:56:08he takes two steps back.
00:56:10It's not that simple.
00:56:12Then maybe you should
00:56:14take the lead.
00:56:16Valentine's Day is right around
00:56:18the corner. Why not use
00:56:20the occasion to clear the air
00:56:22and finally
00:56:24talk it through?
00:56:28Maybe.
00:56:40Maybe you should
00:56:42take the lead.
00:56:44The first gift I ever gave Ace
00:56:46was a motorcycle, and he loved it.
00:56:48Ace, stay here.
00:56:50I have a surprise for you.
00:56:56Alright, and your order will be delivered tonight.
00:56:58Thank you so much.
00:57:00Thank you for shopping with us, Ms. Pearson.
00:57:10Hmph!
00:57:12Hmph!
00:57:14Hmph!
00:57:40Fuck.
00:57:56Josh.
00:57:58Josh! Elena's been taken.
00:58:00Activate the tracking system. Get the cops involved.
00:58:02Hold on after her.
00:58:10Hmph!
00:58:12Hmph!
00:58:16Who are you?
00:58:18Look, if this is about the company's healthcare reforms,
00:58:20then I promise you I'm proposing a new plan.
00:58:22It's set to pass on Monday,
00:58:24so please don't kill me.
00:58:26Shut your mouth.
00:58:28This isn't about healthcare. You got it all wrong.
00:58:30What?
00:58:32My uncle hired you?
00:58:34He paid you to kill my dad?
00:58:36Ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:58:38Took you long enough to figure out.
00:58:40Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:58:42Now sign the damn thing,
00:58:44or I'll put a hole in your head!
00:58:48Okay, I'll sign.
00:58:50But you have to let me go after.
00:58:52Good.
00:58:54Sign it,
00:58:56and I'll let you go.
00:58:58But you have to let me go after.
00:59:00Good.
00:59:02Sign it, then you're free to go.
00:59:04He's lying.
00:59:06As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
00:59:08Think, Elena, think.
00:59:10Hurry up.
00:59:12Don't try anything stupid,
00:59:14or I'll break your legs before you can escape.
00:59:16Okay?
00:59:28I don't want to die.
00:59:30Please, Ace, save me.
00:59:34Now that this job is complete,
00:59:36I can never have to worry about money ever again.
00:59:40Good job.
00:59:44Hey.
00:59:50Ah!
00:59:52Ah!
00:59:58Drop your weapon,
01:00:00or I'll blow her brains out.
01:00:02Ace, don't do it.
01:00:04Drop your weapon!
01:00:12Good job.
01:00:14Close your eyes and walk toward me.
01:00:16Good.
01:00:28Ah!
01:00:30No.
01:00:32No.
01:00:34Ah!
01:00:36Ah!
01:00:38No!
01:00:42Are you crazy?
01:00:44You had a gun pointed at your head,
01:00:46and you still went after him.
01:00:48I thought I lost you.
01:00:50It's gonna be okay.
01:00:52I knew exactly what he was doing,
01:00:54but he asked me to close my eyes.
01:00:56It's over.
01:01:00Ah!
01:01:02Ah!
01:01:04Ah!
01:01:06Who shot you?
01:01:08Talk!
01:01:10Okay, just get me a medic.
01:01:12I don't want to die.
01:01:14You're gonna get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers,
01:01:16so talk!
01:01:18It was Houston.
01:01:20He paid me to kill Carter.
01:01:22The kid, Emelina.
01:01:24There's proof.
01:01:26Where?
01:01:28My left jacket pocket.
01:01:30Just take it!
01:01:32Ah!
01:01:34Give that idiot Carter Pearson,
01:01:36and the five million dollars is yours.
01:01:42Why would he murder his own brother?
01:01:44My father's been nothing but kind to him.
01:01:46Ah!
01:01:52Cuffs are on the way.
01:01:54Everything's fine.
01:01:56I don't understand.
01:01:58Houston was the company's second largest shareholder.
01:02:00What more could he possibly want?
01:02:02Why would he murder my father?
01:02:06And in front of me, too.
01:02:08I'm gonna have to live with that image
01:02:10scarred into the back of my mind
01:02:12for the rest of my life.
01:02:14People just want more,
01:02:16and it's never enough.
01:02:18They're just greedy, and they're monsters,
01:02:20and you never have to think about them again, okay?
01:02:22It's over.
01:02:24It's over.
01:02:28I wanna go home.
01:02:30Okay, let's go.
01:02:32Okay.
01:02:42Just pull over.
01:02:44What's wrong?
01:02:46Your arm, it's bleeding.
01:02:48Didn't you notice?
01:02:50No, I didn't notice. It must have happened during the fight.
01:02:52You're unbelievable.
01:02:54It's fine.
01:02:56Just pull over right up there.
01:02:58It's fine.
01:03:00It's fine.
01:03:12Ace, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
01:03:16Why not? Come on.
01:03:18Tell me the truth, or I swear I will wrap this bandage
01:03:20around your arm so hard you can't feel it.
01:03:22I know it.
01:03:30Hey, look, I screwed up,
01:03:32but that's in the past.
01:03:34I just wanna move forward, okay?
01:03:36Please be honest with me.
01:03:38Do you still love me?
01:03:40Come on, don't try and dodge the question.
01:03:42Today you could've called for backup,
01:03:44but you didn't.
01:03:46You charged right in to save me.
01:03:48If you didn't care about me,
01:03:50you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
01:03:54I love you.
01:03:56Always have, never stop, not even for a second.
01:03:58I believe you this time.
01:04:02Let's start fresh.
01:04:04I love you, Elena.
01:04:06I've always loved you.
01:04:08Come here.
01:04:16Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
01:04:18I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said
01:04:20if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.
01:04:28Today we're here to talk about
01:04:30my healthcare reform strategy.
01:04:32You can't even handle
01:04:34your personal life.
01:04:36The news came out, and this company's stock prices
01:04:38fell another five points.
01:04:40And yet you still think you can
01:04:42push through reforms.
01:04:44I'm the first to object.
01:04:46Do you know how the other healthcare companies
01:04:48are mocking us?
01:04:50They're saying that we're spineless idiots,
01:04:52because we let a woman become the CEO.
01:04:56Uncle Houston,
01:04:58if my scandals are causing such problems
01:05:00for the company,
01:05:02how do you plan to account
01:05:04for the damages that your actions have caused?
01:05:08Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:05:10That's slander.
01:05:12Your father was killed by an angry citizen
01:05:14who was dissatisfied with the current healthcare system.
01:05:16What does that have to do with me?
01:05:22Kill that idiot Carter Pearson,
01:05:24and the five million dollars is yours.
01:05:32I'm sorry.
01:05:34I'm sorry.
01:05:36I'm sorry.
01:05:38I'm sorry.
01:05:40I testify that Houston Pearson
01:05:42paid me to kill Carter Pearson,
01:05:44and then he paid me to try to kill
01:05:46Elena Pearson.
01:05:52I hereby declare
01:05:54that Houston Pearson
01:05:56is immediately stripped
01:05:58of all his duties within this group.
01:06:00You murdered my father,
01:06:02and tried to kill me.
01:06:04You need to pay for your crimes.
01:06:06Who do you think you are?
01:06:08Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
01:06:10I gave everything
01:06:12to this company.
01:06:14Why should you,
01:06:16the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson,
01:06:18inherit this company?
01:06:20What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?
01:06:22This company's profits doubled
01:06:24because I developed AI technology
01:06:26that increased our claim denial rate
01:06:28to 40%,
01:06:30the highest in the industry.
01:06:32And that old fool Carter,
01:06:34he deserved to yell at me over this.
01:06:36He deserved to die.
01:06:38Every accomplishment you've made
01:06:40has been riding off the coattails
01:06:42of struggling people and my father's life.
01:06:44And you show no remorse for them.
01:06:46You're a monster.
01:06:50Don't move.
01:06:54Raise your hands.
01:06:58Houston Pearson,
01:07:00you're under arrest for first degree murder.
01:07:04You're under arrest for first degree murder.
01:07:28Now does anyone else have anything to say?
01:07:30Great.
01:07:32All those in favor of implementing
01:07:34my healthcare reform strategy,
01:07:36raise your hand.
01:07:56Very well.
01:07:58It seems the majority has voted yes.
01:08:00I declare that the healthcare reform plan,
01:08:02with the slogan
01:08:04Deliver, Declare, and Disclose,
01:08:06has officially passed
01:08:08and will be implemented immediately.
01:08:28Cheers.
01:08:30Congratulations
01:08:32on the huge success
01:08:34of the healthcare reform.
01:08:36Bring it in, guys.
01:08:40Congrats, you two.
01:08:42Looks like you guys are officially back together.
01:08:44Should I be planning your reunion party?
01:08:46Yeah, that's enough.
01:08:48Oh, Miss Pearson,
01:08:50if your father could see you now,
01:08:52he'd be so proud.
01:08:54Oh.
01:08:57Thank you so much, guys.
01:08:59If it hadn't been for you,
01:09:01I don't think my healthcare reform plan
01:09:03would have passed.
01:09:05Especially you, Ace.
01:09:07I don't know
01:09:09what I would have done without you.
01:09:12Well, I'll, um,
01:09:14always be your rock.
01:09:18Cheers.
01:09:20Heck yeah.
01:09:26Cheers.
01:09:32Hey.
01:09:34Hey.
01:09:36Were you looking for me?
01:09:38Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal
01:09:40and
01:09:42he's trying to make everyone join him.
01:09:44Oh, just keeping an eye on him.
01:09:46I don't have any time to waste
01:09:48on that stuff.
01:09:50I guess I have to
01:09:52reserve all my energy for you.
01:09:56Mr. Atkins,
01:09:58your duties as a bodyguard
01:10:00are officially over.
01:10:02What's next on your agenda?
01:10:04I have a few ideas.
01:10:38What's wrong?
01:10:42What's wrong?
01:10:44Nothing. Just, um...
01:10:50I don't know if we're in the right
01:10:52place or if it's the right time.
01:10:54What?
01:10:56After everything we've been through, Ace,
01:10:58I thought we were past this.
01:11:00I know, but I, uh...
01:11:02But what?
01:11:06I just, uh...
01:11:08I don't think we should rush into this.
01:11:10I think we should think this through, okay?
01:11:12You're a jerk.
01:11:18Fuck.
01:11:20God, what an asshole.
01:11:22Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:11:52Ace!
01:11:54Ace! It's okay.
01:11:56Ace! It's okay. He's dead.
01:11:58It's over.
01:12:08Oh, my God!
01:12:10Miss Pearson! I'm going to call an ambulance!
01:12:18Is he gonna be okay, Doctor?
01:12:22Yeah.
01:12:32Don't tell Lane about it.
01:12:36My prosthetic leg.
01:12:38All right.
01:12:40I respect your wishes.
01:12:44Fortunately,
01:12:46the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:12:48His physical condition is
01:12:50excellent, so he should recover
01:12:52quickly.
01:12:54Thank you, Doctor.
01:12:56By the way, there's a police officer
01:12:58waiting for you in the reception room.
01:13:00Okay. I'll go there now, then.
01:13:06Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:13:08Why would someone try and kill me
01:13:10when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:13:16According to our investigation,
01:13:18one of the executives has been involved
01:13:20in a long-term illegal financial
01:13:22crimes with Houston.
01:13:24The killer was hired by him.
01:13:26What?
01:13:28Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:13:30Ten minutes ago, we apprehended
01:13:32Chad at his residence.
01:13:34You can rest assured that with Houston's testimony,
01:13:36all related individuals
01:13:38have been arrested.
01:13:40Are you safe?
01:13:42Considering your bodyguard was injured,
01:13:44the police are going to offer you protection
01:13:46until it's over.
01:13:48You can rest.
01:13:50I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes,
01:13:52and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:13:54Ace?
01:14:06Dear Elena,
01:14:08the bodyguard mission is complete,
01:14:10and you're no longer in danger,
01:14:12so it's time for me to leave.
01:14:14It's time to say goodbye,
01:14:16and I wish you all the best.
01:14:18Ace.
01:14:20You're leaving me again?
01:14:22I won't let you leave
01:14:24without an explanation.
01:14:44It's her.
01:14:46The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:14:48So you're a physical therapist?
01:14:50That's your daughter
01:14:52and husband?
01:14:54Yes.
01:14:56I'm so sorry I deceived you
01:14:58three years ago.
01:15:00You didn't date Ace,
01:15:02so why did you help him deceive me?
01:15:04This involves Ace's privacy,
01:15:06and I'm not at liberty to disclose
01:15:08that information.
01:15:10But Elena,
01:15:12I assure you Ace did not betray you.
01:15:14Then why?
01:15:16Why did he lie to me,
01:15:18make me hate him,
01:15:20and break up with me?
01:15:22I think you're supposed to uncover
01:15:24the truth for yourself.
01:15:26But I think that deep down,
01:15:28Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:15:30He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:15:42Elena,
01:15:44what are you doing here?
01:15:46Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital and he just left me a note.
01:15:48Do you know where he is?
01:15:50What?
01:15:52Does he know how important it is to recover properly
01:15:54after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:15:58What do you mean prosthetic leg?
01:16:02Oh man.
01:16:04I wasn't supposed to say that.
01:16:06Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
01:16:08Alright.
01:16:10Three years ago,
01:16:12Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:16:14Your father told him that
01:16:16a disabled person would only burden you.
01:16:18So,
01:16:20he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
01:16:22Later,
01:16:24after he got his prosthetic leg,
01:16:26he still felt like a disabled person.
01:16:28He thought a great girl like you deserved better.
01:16:30So,
01:16:32he avoided you at critical moments.
01:16:34Josh,
01:16:36go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:16:38He's getting his new prosthetic leg
01:16:40fixed right now.
01:16:42Go find him.
01:16:44Ace, you jerk.
01:16:46How could you keep something so important from me?
01:16:48This time, I won't let you go.
01:16:50I won't let you walk away again.
01:16:54Fortunately, you came in time.
01:16:56The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
01:16:58With treatment,
01:17:00you should recover naturally.
01:17:02This is newly made for you. Try it.
01:17:04Thanks.
01:17:32This is the secret
01:17:34you've been keeping from me?
01:17:36This is why you've been
01:17:38pushing me away?
01:17:40What are you doing here?
01:17:42You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.
01:17:46This is why you've been
01:17:48pushing me away?
01:17:50Elena,
01:17:52you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
01:17:54I need you to leave right now.
01:17:56Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:17:58I don't know.
01:18:00Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:18:02Do you really think
01:18:04that little of me?
01:18:06That I'm just a shallow,
01:18:08unsupportive partner?
01:18:10How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena?
01:18:12I mean, why would a guy like me
01:18:14be able to be with
01:18:16a perfect woman like you?
01:18:18Huh?
01:18:20I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to
01:18:22three years ago.
01:18:24I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:18:26I mean, just fucking look at me!
01:18:28But I love you!
01:18:30Ace,
01:18:32can't you see?
01:18:34No matter how you feel about
01:18:36yourself, I have always
01:18:38loved you. Always!
01:18:44Elena, come on. Why?
01:18:46Just stop pushing me away.
01:18:50Ace Adkins, you listen to me right now.
01:18:54You have left
01:18:56me so many times.
01:18:58You can't keep running
01:19:00from me. I am
01:19:02here to stay.
01:19:04Got it?
01:19:06I love you so much. I'm sorry.
01:19:08I'm sorry.
01:19:26Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:19:28Come on, don't try and be tough.
01:19:30No, this one's
01:19:32more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:19:34So, you know, I wouldn't
01:19:36blame you if you didn't want to
01:19:38do this. I'm disabled, and
01:19:40I might
01:19:42become a burden to you when we're older.
01:19:44Have you thought about that?
01:19:46If you ever say something
01:19:48so pessimistic again,
01:19:50I will twist your ear off.
01:19:52I love Ace Adkins.
01:19:54The person,
01:19:56not the leg. So what
01:19:58if you're missing a leg? I will love you all the same.
01:20:00Would you leave me
01:20:02if I was missing a leg?
01:20:06No, no.
01:20:08Of course not.
01:20:10I'll always be by your side.
01:20:12Then let me do the same.
01:20:14I am choosing
01:20:16you, okay?
01:20:20Got it.
01:20:24Miss Pearson,
01:20:26your compensation
01:20:28clause for critical illness has saved
01:20:30my daughter's life.
01:20:34Miss Pearson, your
01:20:36health care reform plan has been a great success,
01:20:38making you the most popular CEO
01:20:40in the U.S. What made you
01:20:42insist on health care reform, despite everyone's
01:20:44doubts? Well, I
01:20:46don't know.
01:20:48I don't know.
01:20:50I don't know.
01:20:52I was able to overcome
01:20:54many obstacles and
01:20:56achieve reform success, partly due
01:20:58to great planning, but also
01:21:00because of my fiancé,
01:21:02Ace Adkins.

01:21:08difficulties.
