00:00:00Your deployment's tomorrow.
00:00:18I'm still worried.
00:00:20Don't worry.
00:00:21I'm going to be back.
00:00:22I'm going to be safe and sound.
00:00:23The first thing we're going to do is get married.
00:00:24I'll be waiting.
00:00:30The first thing we're going to do is get married.
00:00:41Oh, my God.
00:00:43I miss you so much.
00:00:47Oh, my God.
00:00:48It's so good to see you.
00:00:49It's so good to see you.
00:00:51I miss you a lot.
00:00:53I can't wait to go home together.
00:00:54Yeah.
00:00:55What are you doing for dinner?
00:00:56I'm so sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace?
00:00:58Ace, he was supposed to come out with you.
00:01:00Ace?
00:01:01He's been back for a month.
00:01:02He didn't tell you?
00:01:04What?
00:01:06Call him up.
00:01:07You'll see.
00:01:09Let's go.
00:01:12Ace came back a month ago, but he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:01:21Ace, open up.
00:01:22I know you're in there.
00:01:24Ace!
00:01:25Ace!
00:01:25Ace!
00:01:28Ace, what are you doing?
00:01:44Who is that woman?
00:01:49Ace, open the door!
00:01:51Who the hell are you and what do you want with Ace?
00:01:53I need to see him.
00:01:54Ace, explain.
00:02:03Look, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:02:06It's over.
00:02:07I got myself a new girl.
00:02:09It's time for you to move on.
00:02:11What do you mean it's over?
00:02:13I waited for you for three years.
00:02:15You said we were going to get married when you came back,
00:02:17and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:02:18I was just fooling around that whole time.
00:02:20I didn't mean any of it.
00:02:22Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally.
00:02:25She's the one, all right?
00:02:26It's not you.
00:02:27I don't believe you.
00:02:29No, I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face.
00:02:32You owe me that at least.
00:02:33That's the problem with you, isn't it?
00:02:34You're always demanding this, demanding that.
00:02:36If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy.
00:02:38You're a spoiled rich heiress,
00:02:39and no guy wants a woman like that.
00:02:42Can you understand that?
00:02:42Just fuck off.
00:02:46My dad was right about you.
00:02:49I never should have fallen for you.
00:02:51I hate you, Aze Atkins.
00:03:02Did you really have to be so cruel?
00:03:04I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth.
00:03:06She's not going to leave you.
00:03:12That's what I'm afraid of.
00:03:17I love her.
00:03:20She's got to let her go.
00:03:24Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:03:42I want you to end things with Elena.
00:03:46The engagement is off.
00:03:48Take this money as your compensation.
00:03:52Mr. Pearson, I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you.
00:03:56Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money.
00:03:59All I need is a chance to talk to Elena.
00:04:01That's all I'm asking.
00:04:01What can you possibly do for Elena
00:04:03when you can't even stand on your own?
00:04:05All you'll do is break her heart.
00:04:07I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:04:10If you really love her, leave her alone.
00:04:36Thanks for telling us, Sally.
00:04:38I really appreciate it.
00:04:40We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes.
00:04:43I'll go get the equipment.
00:04:47I love you, Elena.
00:04:49Forget about me.
00:04:51You'll find happiness again.
00:04:52Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson HealthCare,
00:05:01was fatally shot by a gunman on Fifth Avenue.
00:05:04Police suspect the attack may be related
00:05:05to the wave of insurance policy changes
00:05:07that Pearson HealthCare is preparing to implement.
00:05:09For now, the gunman remains at large,
00:05:12while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter,
00:05:14is set to take over as CEO.
00:05:15Oh, my God.
00:05:22Clean that up.
00:05:26Good morning, gentlemen.
00:05:34I've called this emergency meeting
00:05:35to make an important announcement.
00:05:37I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:05:40The goal is to ensure all patients receive
00:05:44fair insurance coverage
00:05:45and to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
00:05:49My plan...
00:05:51The hell of your shit plan!
00:05:55You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:05:57I reject it.
00:05:58Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies
00:06:00have led to my father's death.
00:06:01My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:06:05No matter what you say,
00:06:07I will never, ever change my mind.
00:06:10Really?
00:06:11You think you can control the entire group?
00:06:14I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:06:16I would not be able to do it.
00:06:28I don't do it.
00:06:30The world?
00:06:35The world?
00:06:37The world?
00:06:39The world?
00:06:40Man?
00:06:41The world?
00:06:42The world?
00:06:43Yes.
00:06:44Looks like you all need some more training still.
00:06:59You've got a long way to go.
00:07:03Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform,
00:07:05or will she be next on the Assassin's list?
00:07:08Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:11Ace, you're listening to the company.
00:07:13You could totally assign someone else to handle Elena's case.
00:07:17So you heard the news too, huh?
00:07:18Think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh?
00:07:22I'll handle it.
00:07:31Elena, today you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:07:37We will vote to dismiss you as CEO. Simple as that.
00:07:40Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:07:43Have you lost your mind? Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:07:56No one here will testify against me. Just sign the damn paper.
00:08:00Are you all going to let him do this?
00:08:02Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away in those lowlifes.
00:08:05Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:08:07Get your hands off of her.
00:08:28No way. That voice. It can't be him. It can't be him.
00:08:36Yeah!
00:08:44Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:08:49I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:08:51It's been three years. I've missed you, Elena.
00:08:54You're my what?
00:08:55Jesus, Elena. Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:08:59Stupid or something.
00:09:02You insult my boss again. You're going to be the one that needs some fucking health care.
00:09:07Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:09:13Leave, or you're fired. I don't give a shit. You're my uncle.
00:09:17There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena, and that's to get rid of them.
00:09:21Just like I got rid of your father.
00:09:26What are you doing here?
00:09:28No one told me anything about needing personal bodyguard.
00:09:32Miss Pearson, Mr. Atkins, Mr. Oliver, the family butler.
00:09:38Yes, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.
00:09:44Now, as per the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:09:52No.
00:09:54No.
00:09:56I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:09:59I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:01Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else. Anyone but him.
00:10:05Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:10:08With him around, your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:10:13Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute? I need to talk to him.
00:10:16Yes, ma'am.
00:10:20Ace, what are you doing here?
00:10:21I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:10:24Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now, and, uh, well, I was worried about you.
00:10:30We broke up three years ago. You cheated on me. You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:10:35The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:10:39The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:10:42Now go.
00:10:43I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:10:46Yes.
00:10:51Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:10:56Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:10:58I don't know if you don't know.
00:11:00No, I'm not.
00:11:04The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.
00:11:08Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:11:14Let go.
00:11:19Take me home.
00:11:23Alayna!
00:11:23You broke my heart. Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:11:36That's odd.
00:11:38I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:11:46Someone broke in.
00:11:48The killer?
00:11:48The killer?
00:11:48I was so surprised, princess.
00:12:11Didn't you know you were going to be next?
00:12:15No.
00:12:16I don't want to die, please.
00:12:17Someone help me.
00:12:47I thought I was going to die.
00:13:00You're safe.
00:13:02You're hurt.
00:13:03You're all right.
00:13:04You saved me.
00:13:07Ace.
00:13:10You're bleeding.
00:13:14He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even harder than he used to be.
00:13:18He's still got that same glow.
00:13:20God, I miss her.
00:13:23Do you remember the last time we were in the bathroom?
00:13:38Ace Harder.
00:13:40Ace Harder.
00:13:41That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:13:48I should wrap that up.
00:13:51He tried to stab me in the leg, and he missed.
00:13:54It's fine.
00:13:55I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:14:01Ace, is there something wrong?
00:14:02It's fine.
00:14:04Okay.
00:14:04Ace Harder.
00:14:05Ace Harder.
00:14:24Ace Harder.
00:14:24Ace Harder.
00:14:25Oh, my.
00:14:37Am I interrupting?
00:14:39No, no.
00:14:41Ace cut himself, and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:14:48Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up.
00:14:53Wait, he's not staying with me.
00:14:54Why, yes, Miss Pearson, of course.
00:14:58That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:15:01The contract clearly states that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7 to ensure your safety.
00:15:10Oliver, it's not just about the contract.
00:15:12I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:15:18You must understand.
00:15:20You might very well be the next target.
00:15:22If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:15:30Fine.
00:15:31I'll let you win.
00:15:34Brilliant.
00:15:35Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hand.
00:15:41I'll take a bullet for her.
00:15:55Ang, you're the first door on the left.
00:16:00You can stay there.
00:16:01How many of you?
00:16:02Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:16:04Um, we broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:16:08Now, if you're going to be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries.
00:16:12So, here's how it's going to go.
00:16:14You are going to do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm going to live my life.
00:16:18Nothing else.
00:16:19Is that clear?
00:16:21Crystal.
00:16:23I can unpack my stuff.
00:16:25You said you never left me, so why do you have a phone with me inside your wallet?
00:16:51I can't.
00:16:55I checked the house.
00:16:59It's all clear.
00:17:00Safe to sleep.
00:17:01Great.
00:17:02Thanks.
00:17:03I'm going to go to bed now.
00:17:25I'm going to go to bed now.
00:17:35Shit.
00:17:36Sorry.
00:17:38I thought you were in danger.
00:17:39Just hand me that towel.
00:17:55It's not like I haven't seen you.
00:18:03Be professional. I'm still your boss, remember?
00:18:10Yes, ma'am.
00:18:25You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:18:33And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:18:50Ace, I have some scar cream for you.
00:18:52Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:18:55Hey, what's up?
00:19:03Just... I have something for scars.
00:19:06I can put it on.
00:19:08Great.
00:19:17I'm surprised that you still...
00:19:20show this much care for me still.
00:19:23You know, for yourself.
00:19:25You're just helping you because I'm nice.
00:19:27Right on.
00:19:29Calm yourself. He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:19:33Okay.
00:19:37Then...
00:19:38Okay, what is with you and this blanket?
00:19:48I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:19:51I think it's fine.
00:19:53Just sitting.
00:19:54That's how I sit.
00:19:56I call BS. Let me see it.
00:20:08I'm hiding something under there.
00:20:12Maybe I'm hiding a donor.
00:20:14I see it.
00:20:15I see it.
00:20:24You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:20:25You're my bodyguard.
00:20:27You should keep things professional.
00:20:28I know.
00:20:37You're right, Elena.
00:20:39I'm just your bodyguard.
00:20:49Elena.
00:20:51Why don't you put this on?
00:20:52It's lightweight.
00:20:53You won't even feel it.
00:20:54I'm not wearing that.
00:20:55You can either do it yourself or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:20:59And I can do it.
00:21:00And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:21:02Look, I can do it myself.
00:21:10May I?
00:21:11I got it.
00:21:29Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:21:32It's fine.
00:21:35Okay.
00:21:36I have to go.
00:21:37I'm late for work.
00:21:39Yes, ma'am.
00:21:41I'm assuming that assassination didn't go as planned.
00:21:47That idiot calls himself a hitman.
00:21:48He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:21:51Chad.
00:21:53I'm leaving this to you.
00:21:54Seduce Elena.
00:21:55Get her under your thumb.
00:21:56And Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:21:58Consider it done.
00:22:05Jesus, Chad.
00:22:06How many times have I told you to knock?
00:22:08Well, anymore.
00:22:10You only didn't, remember?
00:22:11I remember.
00:22:13But I'm swamped from work and planning a funeral.
00:22:16So can we take the brain check?
00:22:17Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:22:20You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:22:22This is how people get burned down.
00:22:23You need to take some time off to relax.
00:22:33Yeah.
00:22:34You know what?
00:22:35Let's do dinner.
00:22:40Great.
00:22:52Sir, this is a table for two.
00:22:57Why don't you go sit over there?
00:23:04I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:05I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times.
00:23:09But thanks for checking in.
00:23:10Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:23:11You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:23:12Go ahead.
00:23:1382 a fight.
00:23:14Your favorite.
00:23:15I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:16I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:17I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times.
00:23:18But thanks for checking in.
00:23:19Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:23:20You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:23:21Go ahead.
00:23:2282 a fight.
00:23:23Your favorite.
00:23:24I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:23:25Here, have a taste.
00:23:26Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:23:27I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:28I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:29I'm Miss Pearson.
00:23:30I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:31I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:32I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:33I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:34We're sitting here.
00:23:35We're sitting here, Miss Pearson.
00:23:36You're taking a small amount of room.
00:23:37We're trying to see some other names.
00:23:38There's a lot of room where we're going to have to go.
00:23:39Yes.
00:23:40Well, thank you.
00:23:41Here's me.
00:23:42I'm not waiting for a object.
00:23:43You're not sitting here for a second to look, please.
00:23:44I'm always willing to sell it to me.
00:23:46Here, have a taste.
00:23:50Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad,
00:23:52that you're not offering me a drink.
00:23:54I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:23:56Well, Mr. Atkins,
00:23:58seeing that you're Atlanta's bodyguard,
00:24:00I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:24:04My apologies.
00:24:08All you know,
00:24:10I know how tough it's been for you,
00:24:12and I want you to know that I'm here for you.
00:24:16Always.
00:24:18And that my heart belongs to you.
00:24:22Sorry, Chad,
00:24:24I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:24:26Can we eat?
00:24:28I'm starving.
00:24:30Yeah, Sam.
00:24:34A mango salad.
00:24:38Oh, hey, Sam, sorry about that.
00:24:40She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:24:42You mind bringing out another plate without them?
00:24:44He still remembers?
00:24:46I'll see what I can do about that.
00:24:50Wait, didn't you two just meet?
00:24:52How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:24:56How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:24:58Well, we actually go way back.
00:25:00And I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference on mangoes.
00:25:04He's my bodyguard.
00:25:05Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know.
00:25:08I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:25:14Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:25:30What was that tonight?
00:25:42If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:25:46I'd say things like that.
00:25:48You ever think about that?
00:25:50How could I forget?
00:25:52Right, and you shattered my heart.
00:25:56Save it.
00:25:57I'll just go home.
00:25:58Your funeral preparation's to make anyway.
00:26:04I'm sorry, Elena.
00:26:06I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:26:08I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:26:14Elena!
00:26:15Elena?
00:26:17Dad.
00:26:18You're back.
00:26:30Dad!
00:26:32What's going on?
00:26:33Are you safe?
00:26:35It looks fine.
00:26:36I'm here, okay?
00:26:37You're safe.
00:26:39I had a dream about my dad.
00:26:41One second he was smiling at me and then the next.
00:26:42I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:26:43Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:26:47You have a strong sport I've ever known.
00:26:48And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:26:49Besides, I'm going to be right here all the time supporting you.
00:26:50and protecting you.
00:26:51And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:26:52Besides, I'm going to be right here all the time supporting you and protecting you.
00:26:53Protecting me?
00:26:54Protecting me?
00:26:55Yes.
00:26:56I'm going to be right here all the time supporting you and protecting you.
00:27:00You have a strong sport I've ever known.
00:27:01And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:27:07Besides, I'm going to be right here all the time supporting you and protecting you.
00:27:13Protecting me?
00:27:14Do you really think I can trust you after what you put me through?
00:27:15right here the whole time, supporting you,
00:27:17protecting you.
00:27:20Protecting me?
00:27:23Do you really think I can trust you
00:27:24after what you've put me through?
00:27:28Look,
00:27:28our relationship dies in the past.
00:27:32But I would protect you with my life.
00:27:34I'd die for you.
00:27:37I need you to understand that.
00:27:39So you would die for me,
00:27:41but you wouldn't love me?
00:27:45So you would die for me,
00:27:50but you won't love me?
00:28:11Stay with me.
00:28:12I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:28:18You're my bodyguard,
00:28:20and I'm scared.
00:28:24Stay with me,
00:28:26so I can feel safe.
00:28:31I'm scared.
00:28:33I'm scared.
00:28:33I'm scared.
00:28:33I'm scared.
00:28:42If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:28:51What are we doing here?
00:28:53I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:28:55You know, just in case.
00:28:57Always got to be prepared.
00:28:59What I mean is,
00:29:00in case I die first,
00:29:01and you're still in danger,
00:29:02you could
00:29:03fight your way out.
00:29:07First case scenario.
00:29:08I'm scared.
00:29:08I'm scared.
00:29:08I'm scared.
00:29:12What would you do
00:29:14if someone had you
00:29:15against the wall like this?
00:29:19Um...
00:29:20No.
00:29:23All the pushing in the wall
00:29:24won't do anything.
00:29:26Try putting your hand
00:29:27on the more
00:29:27vulnerable place.
00:29:30That one there.
00:29:32And that one there.
00:29:34Push as hard as you can.
00:29:35All right.
00:29:40Nice.
00:29:44All right.
00:29:45Second scenario.
00:29:47What if somebody
00:29:48had you like this?
00:29:56What if somebody
00:29:57had you like this?
00:30:00It's just self-defense training.
00:30:03Don't let it get to you,
00:30:04Alina.
00:30:09Um...
00:30:10I'd go for the
00:30:12more vulnerable part.
00:30:14Stomping on the...
00:30:15I...
00:30:15Very nice.
00:30:19You're a very fast learner,
00:30:20aren't you?
00:30:22Okay.
00:30:23Third scenario.
00:30:24You ready?
00:30:26All right.
00:30:28What?
00:30:29What?
00:30:30Someone's got you
00:30:34like this.
00:30:35Start choking you.
00:30:37Um...
00:30:38You gotta be quick.
00:30:39This...
00:30:41No.
00:30:43Use your hips.
00:30:44What?
00:30:45Use your hips
00:30:46to thrust me off of you
00:30:47as hard as you can.
00:30:52Ace, are you okay?
00:30:54Did I hurt your leg?
00:30:55No.
00:30:55What was that sound?
00:30:56It hurt my leg.
00:31:02It's fine.
00:31:03That was a good job.
00:31:04No, you're hurt.
00:31:06Let me...
00:31:06It's fine.
00:31:07That was good work, though.
00:31:08Seriously.
00:31:09Ace,
00:31:09the new security
00:31:10could be justified.
00:31:11Can you come check it out?
00:31:12Yeah, sure.
00:31:12Thanks, Josh.
00:31:14Good job today.
00:31:16Seriously.
00:31:17Seriously.
00:31:17That sound was weird.
00:31:26Ace is hiding something from me.
00:31:31Hi.
00:31:32Alina, right?
00:31:33I'm Josh.
00:31:35I used to serve with Ace
00:31:36in the military,
00:31:37but now we're colleagues.
00:31:38She talks about you a lot.
00:31:40Hi, Josh.
00:31:42I'm sorry.
00:31:43Can I ask...
00:31:44Is there something
00:31:45going on with Ace's leg?
00:31:49Huh?
00:31:50Leg?
00:31:51No.
00:31:52Not that I know of.
00:31:53You know,
00:31:54Ace has been single
00:31:55for years now.
00:31:56Everyone here knows
00:31:57that there's someone
00:31:59he's never been able
00:32:00to forget,
00:32:00and that person
00:32:02is you, Alina.
00:32:04You're mistaken.
00:32:05He doesn't love me
00:32:07at all.
00:32:08If you knew him,
00:32:09then you would know
00:32:09that he broke up
00:32:10with me three years ago.
00:32:12You know,
00:32:12I might be just an outsider,
00:32:14but I know Ace.
00:32:16Maybe some things
00:32:17aren't what they seem.
00:32:19All right.
00:32:20I got to go check up
00:32:21on Ace and the new equipment.
00:32:22It was nice meeting
00:32:23and I'll get on it.
00:32:26Maybe some things
00:32:27aren't what they seem.
00:32:28What does that even mean?
00:32:30Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:32:31Everything looks great.
00:32:32Okay.
00:32:35Ace.
00:32:38Alina asked about your leg.
00:32:41What'd you say?
00:32:45What'd you say?
00:32:46Don't worry.
00:32:47I didn't say worry.
00:32:48But,
00:32:49honestly, man,
00:32:51I think she still cares about you.
00:32:52Maybe it's time
00:32:53you told her the truth.
00:32:54I appreciate your input, Josh,
00:32:55but I think I know
00:32:55what's best for Alina
00:32:56and I...
00:32:57Might want to deal
00:32:58with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:33:00It's overdue
00:33:00for a replacement.
00:33:01If you keep stalling,
00:33:02you're gonna damage
00:33:03the nerves in your leg, Matt.
00:33:04You know that a new prosthetic
00:33:06would take about three weeks.
00:33:07I'm still on the job.
00:33:08I can't leave Alina alone.
00:33:10I think that would be
00:33:10very irresponsible of me,
00:33:12don't you think, Josh?
00:33:13Yeah.
00:33:14I'm a hell of a romantic.
00:33:15You know that?
00:33:16Yeah, well,
00:33:17that makes one of us.
00:33:17Why don't you
00:33:18get the hell out of here, right?
00:33:19All right.
00:33:19Almighty God,
00:33:34in your mercy,
00:33:35turn the darkness of death
00:33:36into the dawn of new life
00:33:38and the sorrow of parting
00:33:39into the joy of heaven
00:33:41through our Savior Jesus Christ
00:33:43who died,
00:33:45rose again,
00:33:46and lives forevermore.
00:33:48Amen.
00:33:49My deepest condolences.
00:33:55May your father rest in peace.
00:33:57If your father knew
00:33:58that to reckless reforms
00:33:59to be tearing his company apart,
00:34:00he would never rest in peace.
00:34:02He was your brother.
00:34:04If you had even
00:34:05a shred of affection for him,
00:34:06you would never say
00:34:07something like that
00:34:08at his funeral.
00:34:09You know, Uncle Houston,
00:34:10I've always wondered.
00:34:11You've been far angrier
00:34:12about the health care reforms
00:34:13than my own father's murder.
00:34:15Could it be that you had
00:34:16something to do with his death?
00:34:19That is outrageous slander.
00:34:22How dare you accuse me
00:34:23of murdering my brother
00:34:24at his funeral?
00:34:33Sorry for your loss.
00:34:34I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:35I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:35I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:35I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:35I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:35I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:35I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:36I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:36I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:36I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:37I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:37I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:37I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:38I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:38I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:38I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:39I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:39I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:40I'm sorry for your loss.
00:34:40I'm sorry for your loss.
00:35:11I got it for him for his birthday, but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:35:25Right here. Not going anywhere.
00:35:28No. Don't go.
00:35:41Can you promise you won't leave me again?
00:35:50Promise. I'll never leave you again.
00:35:54Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:35:57Someone that you can't forget. Is that someone me?
00:36:03Tell me, Ace.
00:36:04Yes. That someone is you. And it always has been.
00:36:16If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:36:18Look, it's been a long day. I don't think we should talk about it. I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:36:25But you did hurt me. Three years ago, I waited for you to come back and marry me.
00:36:31And then you left me for another woman.
00:36:33You broke my heart. And then you just walked back in my life like nothing happened.
00:36:39No. No.
00:36:40You broke my heart.
00:37:10Oh, my God. I drank too much.
00:37:20Did we sleep together?
00:37:23Showered?
00:37:25Had you breakfast?
00:37:27Last night.
00:37:29We...
00:37:30You were drunk.
00:37:32Very drunk.
00:37:33And took care of you.
00:37:34And that was it.
00:37:35He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:37:38Jerk.
00:37:39Huh?
00:37:40Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:37:54You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:37:59Haven't you dealt with that bitchy-linger yet?
00:38:01She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:38:03She's hard to handle.
00:38:05The bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her.
00:38:08I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:38:09This I will not do.
00:38:12She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:38:15Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:38:17If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:38:21What do you want me to do?
00:38:23The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:38:26Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board, which you're going to do.
00:38:29It's invite her to go as your date, and you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:38:33Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:38:36We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from her form.
00:38:40Kill two birds with one stone.
00:38:41I like that.
00:38:42Exactly.
00:38:42The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:38:46There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:38:52Elena.
00:38:53Elena.
00:38:53I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:39:00I told you, Mr. Vegas would be chasing his person.
00:39:02He said her age of his persistence is kind of impressive.
00:39:13Chad, I...
00:39:14Elena, trust me.
00:39:16I can help you win over a couple more board members for the health care reform plan.
00:39:19Yes, I would love to go to dinner.
00:39:26Great.
00:39:27See you later.
00:39:45How do I look?
00:39:47You look beautiful.
00:39:49You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:39:53What, are you jealous?
00:39:55I just don't think that that guy deserves all of this.
00:40:05Oh, speak of the devil.
00:40:08Beautiful.
00:40:10Elena, we should get going.
00:40:11We're going to be late.
00:40:12And, uh, Ace, remember your place.
00:40:15Okay, there's more.
00:40:17You're the bodyguard.
00:40:17Okay.
00:40:19So, make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer.
00:40:22Yeah?
00:40:36Elena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses.
00:40:39But I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:40:45Forget about that for a moment.
00:40:46What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:40:51Given the company's current PR crisis, announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:40:57Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:41:00Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:41:03Chad and I are...
00:41:04Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:41:09Our company has faced challenges recently.
00:41:14But on this special night, our new CEO, Ms. Elena Pearson, would like to say a few words.
00:41:24Before Ms. Pearson says anything, I have a surprise for her.
00:41:31I have a surprise for her.
00:41:33Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:41:35Will you marry me?
00:41:49Marry him!
00:41:50Marry him!
00:41:52Marry him!
00:41:53Marry him!
00:41:54Marry him!
00:41:55Marry him!
00:41:57Marry him!
00:41:58Marry him!
00:41:59John, stand up.
00:42:00What are you doing?
00:42:01I don't...
00:42:03Come on, let's go.
00:42:04We're leaving.
00:42:21What the hell are you doing?
00:42:23Storming out like that in front of all those guests you've realized how bad you're making the company's image look.
00:42:27Oh, really?
00:42:27So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:42:30That's ridiculous.
00:42:31Who I marry is none of your business.
00:42:34We're over, Ace.
00:42:35You're just my bodyguard.
00:42:36You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:42:38You don't mean that.
00:42:40You don't love that guy.
00:42:41You barely fucking know him.
00:42:42Who I love is none of your concern.
00:42:45Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins, when you push me away over and over again.
00:42:50Even if I said yes to Chad's proposal, you would have nothing to do with it.
00:42:53You couldn't stop me.
00:42:54Okay.
00:43:01Alayna!
00:43:04Alayna, where are you?
00:43:08Alayna, are you in there?
00:43:12Tell him you're busy.
00:43:14Make him leave.
00:43:17Tell him you're busy.
00:43:18Make him leave.
00:43:19I'll be out in a minute.
00:43:42Are you sure you're okay?
00:43:43Okay.
00:43:47Yeah, I'm fine.
00:43:48Just go.
00:43:49You're a bastard.
00:44:06Look, I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:44:09Oh, and you do?
00:44:11You abandoned me.
00:44:12We were supposed to get married.
00:44:15But you have no right to say that to me.
00:44:17What do you think's going on here?
00:44:19Do you think that I don't love you?
00:44:22I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much...
00:44:23Alayna!
00:44:24Who's in there with you?
00:44:25How much what?
00:44:26What are you saying?
00:44:30How much what?
00:44:31What are you saying?
00:44:32Alayna!
00:44:34What do you think?
00:44:35What are you two doing in here?
00:44:40I can ask you the same question, Chad.
00:44:43You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:44:47Proposing in front of everyone?
00:44:49What?
00:44:49Have you lost your mind?
00:44:50Alayna, I have been pursuing you for so long, and you've never rejected me.
00:44:54So that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:44:57What?
00:44:58I haven't said anything.
00:45:00You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:45:01What's the difference?
00:45:02Hmm?
00:45:03Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.
00:45:06Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.
00:45:09It's only natural for us to be together.
00:45:10Hey, don't step closer.
00:45:12And who the hell are you?
00:45:14You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:45:17Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:45:19Acting all on your high horse, but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:45:23You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.
00:45:52Boom!
00:45:53You see that girl right there?
00:45:58There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:46:00You're not going to disrespect her.
00:46:01You show face around here again, and I'll fucking kill her.
00:46:03You understand?
00:46:04Do you understand?
00:46:05You left me?
00:46:19Did you mean what you said?
00:46:21At least just tell me the truth.
00:46:25That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:46:26No, Elena, I can't be with you.
00:46:31I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:46:34I'm not whole.
00:46:34I'll never be enough for you.
00:46:36That was just impulsive.
00:46:37I shouldn't have said that.
00:46:38I'm sorry.
00:46:39You're lying.
00:46:40You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:46:44You'd risk your life for me.
00:46:46You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:46:48That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
00:46:50That is something more, and you know it.
00:46:52Moments ago, right here, you said that you love me more than anyone else in the world.
00:46:56Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:47:03Elena, look.
00:47:07Look.
00:47:09I'm here to guard you.
00:47:12I'm your bodyguard.
00:47:13I shouldn't have crossed the line.
00:47:15I'm sorry.
00:47:17Now, let's go.
00:47:20Stay away, honey.
00:47:21Elena.
00:47:24I'm sorry, Elena.
00:47:26I can't hold you back.
00:47:27You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:47:34You can't handle one woman?
00:47:37Absolutely useless.
00:47:38I'm a bitch.
00:47:38I'm a bitch.
00:47:38I'm a bitch.
00:47:39I'm a bitch.
00:47:39I'm a bitch.
00:47:40I'm a bitch.
00:47:40I'm a bitch.
00:47:40I'm a bitch.
00:47:41I'm a bitch.
00:47:42I'm a bitch.
00:47:42Freaking loser.
00:47:45I'm going to kill him.
00:47:47It's only a matter of time.
00:47:49If that's the case, there's only one option left.
00:47:52We want Pearson Group.
00:47:54We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:47:56Just like we did her father.
00:48:09You think you can fix everything with these little tricks?
00:48:12It won't work, Ace.
00:48:14It's your favorite.
00:48:15French toast.
00:48:17Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:48:20I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.
00:48:24Oliver, what are you doing here?
00:48:37Oliver, what are you...
00:48:38What are you doing here?
00:48:39This is a signed first edition.
00:48:43Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that down for you.
00:48:50And while you were at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:48:56Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
00:49:05I just want you to be happy, Elena.
00:49:12Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:49:15You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
00:49:19But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
00:49:23It wasn't your fault.
00:49:25None of it was.
00:49:27It was mine.
00:49:29Don't think you've won me over.
00:49:31I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:49:34Don't think you've won me over.
00:49:36I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:49:39Go make me a coffee.
00:49:41I have a meeting soon.
00:49:41Miss Pearson, if I may say, Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
00:49:53And from the way you look at him, it's clear you feel the same way.
00:49:58So why not just be together?
00:50:01Oliver, you don't understand.
00:50:02Every time I take a step forward, he takes two steps back.
00:50:06It's not that simple.
00:50:08Well, then maybe you should take the lead.
00:50:11Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:50:15Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?
00:50:23Maybe.
00:50:33Maybe you should take the lead.
00:50:37The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle.
00:50:40And he loved it.
00:50:42Ace, stay here.
00:50:43I have a surprise for you.
00:50:48All right.
00:50:49And your order will be delivered tonight.
00:50:51Thank you so much.
00:50:52Thank you for shopping, Miss Pearson.
00:51:12Good morning.
00:51:35Josh, Josh, the wind has been taking.
00:51:46Activate the tracking system, get the cops involved.
00:51:49I'll go and answer them.
00:52:01Who are you?
00:52:02Look at this, it's about the company's healthcare reforms
00:52:04and I promise you I'm proposing a new plan.
00:52:07It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
00:52:09Shut your mouth.
00:52:12This isn't about healthcare, you've got it all wrong.
00:52:14What?
00:52:21My uncle hired you?
00:52:23He paid you to kill my dad?
00:52:25Ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:52:25Took you long enough to figure out.
00:52:28Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:52:32Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head.
00:52:34Okay, I'll sign.
00:52:39But you have to let me go after.
00:52:41Good.
00:52:42Sign it, then you're free to go.
00:52:45He's lying.
00:52:46As soon as I sign, they'll kill me.
00:52:48Think, Elena, think.
00:52:49Hurry up.
00:52:51Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
00:52:56You good?
00:52:56You good?
00:52:56You good?
00:52:56You good?
00:52:57You good?
00:52:58You good?
00:52:58You good?
00:53:00You good?
00:53:04No.
00:53:07I don't want to die.
00:53:08Please, Ace, save me.
00:53:12Now that this job is complete, I can...
00:53:14I don't have to worry about money ever again.
00:53:18Good job.
00:53:19Drop your weapon or I'll blow your brains out.
00:53:38Good.
00:53:39Ace, don't do it.
00:53:41Drop your weapon!
00:53:42Good job.
00:53:49Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:53:51Go ahead.
00:53:51Go ahead.
00:54:03No.
00:54:05No.
00:54:05Are you crazy?
00:54:16He had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after it.
00:54:19I thought I lost you.
00:54:20It's going to be okay.
00:54:24I knew exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.
00:54:27It's over.
00:54:28No.
00:54:32No.
00:54:33No.
00:54:34No.
00:54:34No.
00:54:34No.
00:54:34No.
00:54:35No.
00:54:35No.
00:54:35No.
00:54:36Who sent you?
00:54:38Ah!
00:54:38Ah!
00:54:39Ah!
00:54:40Okay, just get me a medic.
00:54:41I don't want to die.
00:54:42You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers.
00:54:44So talk!
00:54:46Ah!
00:54:46Ah!
00:54:47It's Houston.
00:54:49He paid me a kill, Carter.
00:54:51I can't believe it.
00:54:52Ah!
00:54:53There's proof.
00:54:53Where?
00:54:54My left jacket pocket.
00:54:55Just take it!
00:54:57Ah!
00:54:59Ah!
00:55:01Ah!
00:55:01Ah!
00:55:01Idiot Carter Pearson.
00:55:02And the $5 million is yours.
00:55:05Why would he murder his own brother?
00:55:10My father's been nothing but kind to him.
00:55:12Ah!
00:55:12Ah!
00:55:13Ah!
00:55:13Ah!
00:55:14Ah!
00:55:14Ah!
00:55:14Ah!
00:55:15Ah!
00:55:15Ah!
00:55:16Ah!
00:55:16Ah!
00:55:17Ah!
00:55:17Ah!
00:55:18Ah!
00:55:18Ah!
00:55:19Ah!
00:55:19Ah!
00:55:20Ah!
00:55:20Ah!
00:55:21Ah!
00:55:21Ah!
00:55:22Ah!
00:55:22Ah!
00:55:23Ah!
00:55:23Ah!
00:55:24Ah!
00:55:24Ah!
00:55:25Ah!
00:55:25Ah!
00:55:26Ah!
00:55:26Ah!
00:55:27Ah!
00:55:27Ah!
00:55:28Ah!
00:55:28Ah!
00:55:29Ah!
00:55:29Ah!
00:55:30Ah!
00:55:30Ah!
00:55:31Ah!
00:55:31Ah!
00:55:32Ah!
00:55:32Ah!
00:55:33Ah!
00:55:33Ah!
00:55:34Ah!
00:55:34Ah!
00:55:35Ah!
00:55:35Ah!
00:55:36Ah!
00:55:36Ah!
00:55:37Ah!
00:55:37Ah!
00:55:38Just one more and it's never enough. They're just greedy and they're monsters and you never have to think about them again, okay?
00:55:43It's over.
00:55:45Over.
00:55:50Nicole.
00:55:51Hey, let's go.
00:56:03Is Paul over?
00:56:04What's wrong?
00:56:06Your arm, it's bleeding. Didn't you notice?
00:56:09No, I didn't notice. It must have happened during the fight.
00:56:11You're unbelievable.
00:56:14It's fine.
00:56:16Just pull over right up there.
00:56:17It's fine.
00:56:18No, I'll take care of it. We'll stop for a minute.
00:56:30Is, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
00:56:34Why not? Come on.
00:56:36Tell me the truth or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel it.
00:56:46Hey look, I screwed up. But that's in the past. I just want to move forward, okay?
00:56:51Please be honest with me. Do you still love me? Come on, don't try and dodge the question. Today you could have called for backup but you didn't. You charged right in to save me. You didn't care about me. You wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
00:57:08I love you. Always have. Never stop. Not even for a second.
00:57:13I believe you. It's time. Let's start fresh.
00:57:18I love you, Elena. I've always loved you.
00:57:28Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP. I talked to Dr. Dean and he said if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.
00:57:35Today we're here to talk about my healthcare reform strategy.
00:57:44You can't even handle your personal life. The news came out and this company's stock prices fell another five points. And yet you still think you can push through reforms. I'm the first to object.
00:57:56Elena, do you know how the other healthcare companies are mocking us? They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.
00:58:05Uncle Houston, if my scandals are causing such problems for the company, how do you plan to account for the damages that your actions have caused?
00:58:15Like hiring someone to kill my father.
00:58:21Like hiring someone to kill my father.
00:58:26That's slander. Your father was killed by an angry citizen who is dissatisfied with the current healthcare system. What does that have to do with me?
00:58:36Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson, and the five million dollars is yours.
00:58:41I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson, and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
00:58:51I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group. You murdered my father and tried to kill me. You need to pay for your crimes. You need to pay for your crimes.
00:59:07Who do you think you are? Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson group? I gave everything to this company. Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson, inherit this company?
00:59:20What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate? This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology that increased our claim denial rate to 40%, the highest in the industry. And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this. He deserved to die!
00:59:37Every accomplishment you've made has been riding off to the coattails of struggling people and my father's life. And you show no remorse for them! You're a monster!
00:59:48Don't move!
00:59:49Don't move!
00:59:53Raise your hands!
00:59:56Houston Pearson, Your Honor and I rest for first degree murder.
01:00:18Now, does anyone else have anything to say?
01:00:28Great.
01:00:29All those in favor of implementing my healthcare reform strategy, raise your hand.
01:00:48Very well. It seems the majority has voted yes. I declare that the healthcare reform plan, with the slogan, deliver, declare, and disclose, has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.
01:01:18Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.
01:01:27Great day, guys.
01:01:30Congrats, you two. Looks like you guys are officially back together. Should I be planning your communion party?
01:01:36That's enough.
01:01:37Oh, Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.
01:01:42Aww.
01:01:44Thank you so much, guys. If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my healthcare reform plan would have passed.
01:01:51Especially you, Ace. I don't know what I would have done without you.
01:01:57Well, I'll, um, always be a rock.
01:02:03Cheers!
01:02:05Heck yeah.
01:02:07Hey.
01:02:17Hey.
01:02:18Are you looking for me?
01:02:21Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal and just trying to make everyone join him.
01:02:26If all of us keep me an eye on him.
01:02:28I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.
01:02:31I guess I have to reserve all my energy for you.
01:02:36Mr. Atkins, your duties as a bodyguard are officially over. What's next on your agenda?
01:02:46I have a few ideas.
01:03:06What's wrong?
01:03:20What's wrong?
01:03:22Nothing. Just, um...
01:03:23I don't know if we're in the right place or if it's the right time.
01:03:31What?
01:03:33After everything we've been through, Ace, I thought we were past this.
01:03:36I know, but I, uh...
01:03:38But what?
01:03:42I just, uh, I don't think we should rush into this. I think we should think this through, okay?
01:03:47You're a jerk.
01:03:48I'm an asshole. Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:04:00It's okay, it's okay, he's dead, it's all right.
01:04:30Oh, my God, Miss Pearson, I'm going to call an ambulance.
01:04:47Is he going to be okay, doctor?
01:04:49I'm going to call an ambulance.
01:04:56Don't tell me about a micropsthetic flag.
01:05:03All right, I respect your wishes.
01:05:07Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:05:14His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:05:18Thank you, doctor.
01:05:19By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:05:23Okay, I'll go there now then.
01:05:29Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:05:31Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:05:38According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives, has been involved in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.
01:05:46The killer was hired by him.
01:05:48What?
01:05:50Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:05:52Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:05:55You can rest assured that, with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.
01:06:00You're safe.
01:06:01Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:06:07You can rest.
01:06:09I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:06:14Ace?
01:06:22What the hell?
01:06:23You're leaving me again?
01:06:24I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:06:52It's her, the woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:07:09So you're a physical therapist?
01:07:12That's your daughter and husband?
01:07:13Yes.
01:07:15I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:07:18You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
01:07:21This involves Ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:07:26But Alina, I assure you, Ace did not betray you.
01:07:29Then why?
01:07:31Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?
01:07:35I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
01:07:39But I think that, deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:07:44He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:07:51Alina, what are you doing there?
01:07:54Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital, and he just left me a note.
01:07:57Do you know where he is?
01:07:58What?
01:07:59Doesn't he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:08:04What do you mean prosthetic leg?
01:08:07What do you mean prosthetic leg?
01:08:10Oh, man.
01:08:11I was supposed to say that.
01:08:13Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
01:08:15All right.
01:08:17Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:08:21Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.
01:08:25So, he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
01:08:29Later, after he got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.
01:08:33He thought a great girl like you deserved it better.
01:08:36So, he avoided you at critical moments.
01:08:39Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:08:43He's getting his new prosthetic leg fixed right now.
01:08:46We'll find him, Alina.
01:08:47Ace, you jerk.
01:08:49How could you keep something so important for me?
01:08:52This time, I won't let you go.
01:08:53I won't let you walk away again.
01:08:56Fortunately, you came in time.
01:08:58The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
01:09:01With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:09:04This one is nearly made for you.
01:09:06Try it.
01:09:07Thanks.
01:09:19This is the secret you've been keeping from me?
01:09:40This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:43What are you doing here?
01:09:45You shouldn't be here.
01:09:46You need to leave.
01:09:48This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:52Alina, you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
01:09:56I need you to leave right now.
01:09:58Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:10:00Do you really think that little of me?
01:10:03That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
01:10:06How was I supposed to tell you this, Alina?
01:10:08I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:10:14Huh?
01:10:15I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.
01:10:18I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:10:20I mean, just fucking look at me, Alina!
01:10:22I can't even stand up straight!
01:10:23But I love you!
01:10:25Ace, can't you see?
01:10:28No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you!
01:10:33Always!
01:10:38Alina, come on, why?
01:10:39Just stop pushing me away!
01:10:42Ace, Atkins, you listen to me right now.
01:10:47You have left me.
01:10:49So many times.
01:10:51You can't keep running from me.
01:10:53I am here to stay.
01:10:55Got it?
01:10:57So much.
01:10:59I'm sorry.
01:11:00I'm sorry.
01:11:16Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:11:18Mom, don't try and be tough.
01:11:20No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:11:23You know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
01:11:27I'm disabled, and I might become a burden to you when we're older.
01:11:32Have you thought about that?
01:11:34If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.
01:11:40I love Ace Atkins.
01:11:42The person, not the leg.
01:11:44So what if you're missing a leg? I would love you all the same.
01:11:47Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:11:52No.
01:11:53No.
01:11:54Of course not.
01:11:55I'll always be by your side.
01:11:57And let me do the same.
01:12:00I am choosing you, okay?
01:12:05Got it.
01:12:17Ms. Pearson, your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life.
01:12:26Ms. Pearson, your healthcare reform plan has been a great success, making you the most popular CEO in the U.S.
01:12:32What made you insist on healthcare reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:12:36I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great planning, but also because of my fiancé, Ace Atkins.
01:12:47His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
01:12:50Please
