00:00That has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:03What? I haven't said anything.
00:06You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:08What's the difference, hmm?
00:10Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.
00:13Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.
00:16It's only natural for us to be together.
00:18Hey, don't step closer.
00:20And who the hell are you?
00:22You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:25Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:27Acting all on your high horse.
00:29But deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:41Bravo, bravo. You two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
00:44Things must be nice, huh?
00:46Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:49Shut the fuck up.
00:50What's the matter? Struck a nerve?
00:51Elena, you have the audacity to accuse me of damaging the company?
00:58Take a look in the mirror.
01:00You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
01:02You're the real disgrace to the Pearson Group.
01:10See that girl right there?
01:11There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
01:13You're not going to disrespect her.
01:15You show face around here again, I'm going to fucking kill her.
01:17Do you understand? Do you understand?
01:22Fuck.
01:30You left me?
01:35Did you mean what you said?
01:38Please just tell me the truth.
01:40That's all it takes for us to start over.
01:46No, Elena. I can't be with you.
01:48I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
01:50I'm not whole. I'll never be enough for you.
01:53That was just impulsive. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
01:57You're lying.
01:58You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
02:02You'd risk your life for me.
02:03You'd stay up all night to protect me.
02:05That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
02:08That is something more, and you know it.
02:11Moments ago, right here, you said that you loved me more than anyone else in the world.
02:16Is...
02:19Why won't you admit that you still love me?
02:22Elena, look.
02:28Look.
02:30I'm here to guard you.
02:32I'm your bodyguard.
02:35I shouldn't have crossed the line, and I'm sorry.
02:38Now, let's go.
02:41Stay away from me.
02:43Elena.
02:46I'm sorry, Elena.
02:48I can't hold you back.
02:49You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
02:58Can't handle one woman?
03:00Absolutely useless.
03:01My bitch has been screwing the bodyguard the whole damn time. What do you want me to do?
03:05That pathetic freaking loser.
03:09I'm gonna kill him.
03:12It's only a matter of time.
03:13If that's the case, there's only one option left.
03:18If we want Pearson Group, we're going to have to eliminate her.
03:22Just like we did her father.
03:36You think you can fix everything with these little tricks?
03:40Won't work, Ace.
03:41It's your favorite.
03:43French toast.
03:45Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
03:48I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like...
03:52how you remember it.
04:07Oliver? What are you...
04:09What are you doing here?
04:11This is a signed first edition.
04:15Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that down for you.
04:21And while you were at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
04:36Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
04:41I just want you to be happy, Elena.
04:45Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
04:48You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
04:52But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
04:58It wasn't your fault. None of it was.
05:02It was mine.
05:04Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
05:07Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
05:12Go make me a coffee. I have a meeting soon.
05:21Miss Pearson, if I may say, Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
05:29And from the way you look at him, it's clear you feel the same way.
05:34So why not just be together?
05:37Oliver, you don't understand. Every time I take a step forward, he takes two steps back.
05:43It's not that simple.
05:45Well, then maybe you should take the lead.
05:49Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
05:53Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?
05:59Maybe.
06:13Maybe you should take the lead.
06:17The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle, and he loved it.
06:22Ace, stay here. I have a surprise for you.
06:25Alright, and your order will be delivered tonight.
06:28Thank you so much.
06:29Thank you for shopping with us, Miss Pearson.
07:24Fuck!
07:34Josh! Josh! Elena's been taken.
07:37Activate the tracking system. Get the cops involved. I'll go and after her.
07:54Who are you? Look, if this is about the company's health care reforms, then I promise you I'm proposing a new plan.
08:00It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
08:03Shut your mouth.
08:05This isn't about health care. You've got it all wrong.
08:08What?
08:15My uncle hired you? He paid you to kill my dad?
08:20It didn't take you long enough to figure out.
08:22Daddy's little girl is so clever.
08:27Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head!
08:33Okay, I'll sign. But you have to let me go after.
08:37Good. Sign it, then you're free to go.
08:42He's lying. As soon as I sign, he'll kill me. Think, Elena, think.
08:46Hurry up. Don't try anything stupid or I'll break your legs before you can escape.
09:05No, I don't want to die. Please, Ace, save me.
09:08Now that this job is complete, I can never have to worry about money ever again.
09:17Good job.
09:39Drop your weapon or I'll blow her brains out.
09:42Ace, don't do it.
09:44Drop your weapon!
09:52Good job. Close your eyes and look toward me.
10:09No!
10:21Are you crazy? You had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after him. I thought I lost you.
10:28It's gonna be okay.
10:32I knew exactly what he was doing when you asked me to close my eyes. It's over.
10:39No!
10:45Who sent you?
10:49It was okay. Just get me a medic. I don't want to die.
10:52You're gonna get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers, so talk!
10:57It was Houston. He paid me to kill Carter. I can't have Elena.
11:03There's proof.
11:04Where?
11:05In my left jacket pocket. Just check it!
11:08Ah!
11:12Kill that idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.
11:21Why would he murder his own brother? My father's been nothing but kind to him.
11:31The cops are on the way. Everything's fine.
11:34I don't understand. Houston was the company's second largest shareholder. What more could he possibly want?
11:42Why would he murder my father? And in front of me too.
11:48I'm gonna have to live with that image scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life.
11:53Some people just want more. And it's never enough. They're just greedy and they're monsters and you never have to think about them again, okay?
12:00It's over. It's over.
12:05I'm gonna go home.
12:08Okay. Let's go.
12:21He's pull over.
12:23What's wrong?
12:25Your arm. It's bleeding. Didn't you notice?
12:28No, I didn't notice. It must have happened during the fight.
12:31You're unbelievable.
12:34It's fine.
12:36Just pull over right up there.
12:38It's fine.
12:40No, I'll take care of it. We'll stop for a bit.
12:52Ace, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
12:57What? Come on.
12:59Tell me the truth or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel it.
13:04Okay.
13:10Hey, look. I screwed up. But that's in the past. I just want to move forward, okay?
13:16Ace, be honest with me. Do you still love me?
13:20Come on. Don't try and dodge the question.
13:23Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't. You charged right in to save me.
13:28If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
13:35I love you. Always have. Never stop. Not even for a second.
13:40I believe you this time. Let's start fresh.
13:45I love you, Elena. I've always loved you.
13:56Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
13:59I talked to Dr. Dean and he said if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.
14:04Okay.
14:10Today we're here to talk about my health care reform strategy.
14:14You can't even handle your personal life.
14:17The news came out and this company's stock prices fell another five points.
14:22And yet you still think you can push through reforms.
14:25I'm the first to object.
14:27Elena, do you know how the other health care companies are mocking us?
14:30They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.
14:37Uncle Houston, if my scandals are causing such problems for the company,
14:42how do you plan to account for the damages that your actions have caused?
14:48Like hiring someone to kill my father.
14:54Like hiring someone to kill my father.
15:00That's slander.
15:02Your father was killed by an angry citizen who is dissatisfied with the current health care system.
15:07What does that have to do with me?
15:13Kill that idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.
15:21I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson
15:25and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
15:31I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.
15:41You murdered my father and tried to kill me.
15:44You need to pay for your crimes.
15:46You need to pay for your crimes.
15:49Who do you think you are?
15:51Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
15:53I gave everything to this company.
15:55Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson, inherit this company?
16:00What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?
16:03This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology
16:08that increased our claim denial rate to 40 percent, the highest in the industry.
16:13And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this.
16:17He deserved to die.
16:19Every accomplishment you've made has been riding off the coattails of struggling people
16:23and my father's life.
16:25And you show no remorse for them.
16:27You're a monster.
16:30Go!
16:35Raise your hands.
16:38Houston Pearson, you're under arrest for first degree murder.
16:53Raise your hands.
17:12Now does anyone else have anything to say?
17:17Great.
17:19All those in favor of implementing my health care reform strategy,
17:23please raise your hand.
17:42Very well.
17:44It seems the majority has voted yes.
17:47I declare that the health care reform plan, with the slogan,
17:50Order, Declare and Disclose,
17:53has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.
18:15Cheers!
18:16Congratulations on the huge success of the health care reform.
18:24Congrats, you two.
18:26Looks like you guys are officially back together.
18:29Should I be planning your reunion party?
18:31That's enough.
18:33Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.
18:41Thank you so much, guys.
18:42If it hadn't been for you,
18:44I don't think my health care reform plan would have passed.
18:47Especially you, Ace.
18:50I don't know what I would have done without you.
18:55Well, I'll always be your rock.
19:01Cheers!
19:13Hey.
19:15Hey.
19:18Were you looking for me?
19:20Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal.
19:23What?
19:25He's trying to make everyone join him.
19:27Well, I'm just keeping an eye on him.
19:29I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.
19:32I guess I have to...
19:35reserve all my energy for you.
19:39Mr. Atkins.
19:42Your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.
19:46What's next on your agenda?
19:48I have few ideas.
20:21What's wrong?
20:26What's wrong?
20:28Nothing. Just...
20:34I don't know if we're in the right place or if it's the right time.
20:39What?
20:40After everything we've been through, Ace, I thought we were past this.
20:44I know, but I...
20:46But what?
20:50I just...
20:52I don't think we should rush into this.
20:54I think we should think this through, okay?
20:56You're a jerk.
21:05God, what an asshole.
21:07Why does he keep pushing me away?
21:10Ace!
21:38Ace! Ace!
21:40Ace!
21:41It's okay. He's dead. It's over.
21:53Oh my God, Miss Pearson!
21:56I'm going to call an ambulance!
22:04Is he going to be okay, Doctor?
22:11No.
22:14Don't tell me about it.
22:18I'm not study fighting.
22:21All right. I respect your wishes.
22:27Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
22:31His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
22:36Thank you, Doctor.
22:37By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
22:41Okay. I'll go there now then.
22:48Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
22:51Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
22:58According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives,
23:02has been involved in a long-term illegal financial fraud.
23:05The killer was hired by him.
23:07What?
23:09Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
23:12Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
23:15You can rest assured that with Houston's testimony,
23:18all related individuals have been arrested.
23:21Are you safe?
23:23Considering your bodyguard was injured,
23:26the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
23:30You can rest.
23:31I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
23:36Ace?
23:49Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete,
23:52and you're no longer in danger, so it's time for me to leave.
23:55I just wanted to say goodbye.
23:56And I wish you all the best.
23:58Ace.
24:00What the hell?
24:02You're leaving me again?
24:04I won't let you leave without an explanation.
24:27It's her.
24:29The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
24:33So you're a physical therapist?
24:36That's your daughter and husband?
24:38Yes.
24:40I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
24:44You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
24:47This involves Ace's private life.
24:50I don't know.
24:51You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
24:55This involves Ace's privacy,
24:57and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
25:00But Elena, I assure you Ace did not betray you.
25:04Then why?
25:06Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?
25:10I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
25:14But I think that deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
25:19He's just too afraid to tell you.
25:29Elena, what are you doing here?
25:32Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital and he just left me a note.
25:35Do you know where he is?
25:37What?
25:39Does he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
25:45What do you mean prosthetic leg?
25:49Oh man.
25:51I wasn't supposed to say that.
25:53Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
25:55Alright.
25:57Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
26:01Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.
26:06So he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
26:10Later, after you got his prosthetic leg,
26:13he still felt like a disabled person.
26:15He thought a great girl like you deserved better.
26:17So, he avoided you at critical moments.
26:23Go check out the rehabilitation center.
26:26He's getting his new prosthetic leg fixed right now.
26:29Go find him.
26:31Ace, you jerk.
26:33How could you keep something so important from me?
26:35This time, I won't let you go.
26:37I won't let you walk away again.
26:41Fortunately, you came in time.
26:43The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
26:45With treatment, you should recover naturally.
26:48This one is newly made for you. Try it.
26:51Thanks.
27:16This is the secret you've been keeping from me?
27:20This is why you've been pushing me away?
27:23What are you doing here?
27:25You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.
27:30This is why you've been pushing me away?
27:34Elena,
27:36I'm sorry.
27:38I'm sorry.
27:40I'm sorry.
27:42I'm sorry.
27:43Elena,
27:45you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
27:47I need you to leave right now.
27:49Why wouldn't you just tell me?
27:51Do you really think that little of me?
27:54That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
27:58How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena?
28:00I mean, why would a guy like me
28:02be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
28:06Huh?
28:08I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to
28:10three years ago.
28:11I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
28:13I mean, just fucking look at me.
28:15Elena, I can't even stand up straight.
28:17But I love you.
28:19Ace, can't you see?
28:22No matter how you feel about yourself,
28:25I've always loved you. Always.
28:32Elena, come on. Why?
28:34Just stop pushing me away.
28:38Ace Atkins, you listen to me right now.
28:42You have left me so many times.
28:47You can't keep running from me.
28:49I am here to stay.
28:52Got it?
28:54I love you so much. I'm sorry.
28:56I'm sorry.
29:12Nothing feels uncomfortable?
29:14Come on, don't try and be tough.
29:16This one's more comfortable
29:18than the last one, actually.
29:21You know, I wouldn't blame you
29:23if you didn't want to do this.
29:25I'm disabled, and I might
29:28become a burden to you when we're older.
29:31Have you thought about that?
29:33If you ever say something so pessimistic again,
29:36I will twist your ear off.
29:38I love Ace Atkins.
29:41The person, not the leg.
29:44So what if you're missing a leg?
29:46I will love you all the same.
29:48Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
29:52No. No, of course not.
29:55I will always be by your side.
29:57Well, let me do the same.
30:01I am choosing you, okay?
30:03I am choosing you, okay?
30:08Got it.
30:23Miss Pearson,
30:25your compensation clause for critical illness
30:28has saved my daughter's life.
30:32Miss Pearson,
30:34your healthcare reform plan has been a great success,
30:36making you the most popular CEO in the U.S.
30:39What made you insist on healthcare reform
30:41despite everyone's doubts?
30:43I was able to overcome many obstacles
30:46and achieve reform success,
30:48partly due to great planning,
30:50but also because of my fiancé, Ace Atkins.
30:55His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
