00:02:56I hate you Ace Atkins

00:02:57did you really have to be so cruel

00:03:54Mr. Pearson

00:03:57I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you

00:04:03in your money

00:04:04all I need is a chance to talk to Elena

00:04:06what can you possibly do for Elena

00:04:08when you can't even stand on your own

00:04:10all you'll do is break her heart

00:04:12I'll never let my little girl

00:04:14marry a one-legged cripple

00:13:18He might be an asshole, but damn,

00:13:20he's even harder than he used to be.

00:13:22He's still got that same glow.

00:13:24God, I missed her.

00:13:28Do you remember the last time we, uh,

00:13:30in the bathroom?

00:13:34He's hard.

00:13:44Yes, I know.

00:13:50That guy got you in the leg, too, right?

00:13:52I should wrap that up.

00:13:54He tried to stab me in the leg,

00:13:58and he missed. It's fine.

00:14:00I saw the knife go straight into your leg.

00:14:04He says, is there something wrong?

00:14:06That's fine.

00:14:08Good.

00:14:34Oh!

00:14:38My...

00:14:42Am I interrupting?

00:14:44No, uh, no.

00:14:46I just, uh, cut himself,

00:14:48and I was just helping him address the wound.

00:14:52Oh.

00:14:53Oh, Mr. Atkins, I, um,

00:14:54brought your luggage up.

00:14:56Great.

00:14:57Oh, wait, he's not staying with me.

00:14:59Why, yes, Miss Pearson.

00:15:01Of course.

00:15:02That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.

00:15:05The contract clearly states

00:15:07that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7

00:15:11to ensure your safety.

00:15:13Oliver, it's not just about the contract.

00:15:15I, I can't...

00:15:18I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.

00:15:21You must understand.

00:15:23You might very well be the next target.

00:15:27If you fail to understand this,

00:15:29then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.

00:15:33Fine.

00:15:35Oliver, you win.

00:15:37Brilliant.

00:15:39Mr. Atkins, from here on out,

00:15:41Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.

00:15:49I'll take a bullet for her.

00:16:00Anne.

00:16:02You're the first door on the left.

00:16:04You can stay there.

00:16:05I'll wait, Atkins.

00:16:06Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.

00:16:08We broke up three years ago, and that's that.

00:16:12Now, if you're gonna be staying here,

00:16:14we need to establish some boundaries.

00:16:16So, here's how it's gonna go.

00:16:18You are gonna do your job as my bodyguard,

00:16:20and I'm gonna live my life.

00:16:22Nothing else.

00:16:24Is that clear?

00:16:26Crystal.

00:16:28I can unpack my stuff.

00:16:30Is this his wallet?

00:16:52You said you never left me,

00:16:53so why do you have a photo with me inside your wallet?

00:17:00I checked the house.

00:17:03It's all clear.

00:17:05Safe to sleep.

00:17:06Great. Thanks.

00:17:08I'm gonna go to bed now.

00:17:31Shit.

00:17:40Sorry.

00:17:42I thought you were in danger.

00:17:44Just hand me that towel.

00:17:45It's not like I had a seat.

00:18:07Be professional.

00:18:08I'm still your boss, remember?

00:18:10Yes, ma'am.

00:18:15Yes, ma'am.

00:18:16You've changed a lot, Elena.

00:18:17And after all these years,

00:18:18I still feel the same about you.

00:18:19You've changed a lot, Elena.

00:18:20And after all these years,

00:18:21I still feel the same about you.

00:18:22You've changed a lot, Elena.

00:18:24And after all these years,

00:18:25I still feel the same about you.

00:18:52Hey, sir, I have some scar cream for you.

00:18:57Yeah, just hold on a second.

00:18:58One minute.

00:19:03Hey, what's up?

00:19:07Just have something for scars.

00:19:11I can put it on.

00:19:13Okay.

00:19:22I'm surprised that you still, uh, show this much care for me still.

00:19:29You know, for yourself?

00:19:31I'm just helping you because I'm nice.

00:19:34Ina, calm yourself.

00:19:35He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.

00:19:39Okay.

00:19:42Then.

00:19:50Hey, what is with you and this blanket?

00:19:52I saw that guy get you in the leg.

00:19:55I think it's fine.

00:19:57Just sitting.

00:19:59Just let me sit.

00:20:00I call BS.

00:20:02Let me see it.

00:20:15Hiding something under there.

00:20:17Maybe I'm hiding the boner to see it.

00:20:22You're not my boyfriend anymore.

00:20:29You're my bodyguard.

00:20:31You should keep things professional.

00:20:42You're right, Elena.

00:20:44I'm just your bodyguard.

00:20:45Okay.

00:20:45Why don't you put this on?

00:20:56It's lightweight.

00:20:57You won't even feel it.

00:20:59I'm not wearing that.

00:21:00You can either do it yourself or I could strip your clothes off for you.

00:21:04And I can do it.

00:21:05And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.

00:21:06Okay.

00:21:07I can do it myself.

00:21:15May I?

00:21:16Oh, God.

00:21:17I...

00:21:18I...

00:21:19I...

00:21:20I...

00:21:21I...

00:21:22I...

00:21:23I...

00:21:24I...

00:21:25I...

00:21:26I...

00:21:27I...

00:21:28I...

00:21:29I...

00:21:30I...

00:21:31I...

00:21:32I...

00:21:33I...

00:21:34I...

00:21:35I...

00:21:36I...

00:21:37I...

00:21:38I...

00:21:39I...

00:21:40I...

00:21:41I...

00:21:42I have to go.

00:21:43I'm late for work.

00:21:44Yes, ma'am.

00:21:49I'm assuming the assassination didn't go as planned?

00:21:51That idiot calls himself a hitman. He can't handle a defenseless woman.

00:21:56Chad?

00:21:57I'm leaving this to you.

00:21:58Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb, and Pearson Healthcare is ours.

00:22:02Consider it done.

00:22:09Jesus, Chad, how many times have I told you to knock?

00:22:12What do you want?

00:22:14You only didn't remember.

00:22:16I remember.

00:22:17But I'm swamped from work and planning a funeral, so can we take a brain check?

00:22:22Let me handle the funeral preparations.

00:22:24You've been working too hard since your father passed.

00:22:27This is how people get burned down. You need to take some time off to relax.

00:22:37Yeah.

00:22:38You know what? Let's do dinner.

00:22:42Great.

00:22:45Great.

00:22:57Sir.

00:22:58This...

00:22:59is a table for two.

00:23:02Why don't you go sit over that?

00:23:12I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard. I've got to keep a tight perimeter around here at all times.

00:23:27But thanks for checking in.

00:23:29Well, don't let me interrupt. You guys haven't ordered yet. Go ahead.

00:23:4482 to the fight. Your favorite.

00:23:47I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me. Here, have a taste.

00:23:55Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink. I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?

00:23:59Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.

00:24:06My apologies. All you know. I know how tough it's been for you. And I want you to know that I'm here for you. Always. And that my heart belongs to you.

00:24:24I'm sorry, Chad. I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that. Um, can we eat? I'm starving.

00:24:35Um, yeah. Sam.

00:24:38A mango salad.

00:24:43Oh, hey, Sam. Sorry about that. She actually doesn't like mangoes. You mind bringing out another plate without them?

00:24:48He still remembers?

00:24:50I'll see what I can do about that.

00:24:55Wait, didn't you two just meet? How would he know that you don't like mangoes?

00:25:01How would he know that you don't like mangoes?

00:25:04Well, we actually go way back. And I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference on mangoes.

00:25:09He's my bodyguard. Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know. I'll just pick around the mangoes.

00:25:18Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.

00:25:24What was that tonight? If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.

00:25:49Just say things that you want to see them.

00:25:54You ever think about that?

00:25:55How could I forget?

00:25:57Right, and you've shattered my heart.

00:26:00Right, come on.

00:26:01Save it.

00:26:02I'll just go home. Your funeral preparation's to make anyway.

00:26:08I'm sorry, Elena.

00:26:10I was just trying to give you a better life.

00:26:12I didn't think it would hurt you this much.

00:26:15Elena.

00:26:19Elena.

00:26:21Elena.

00:26:22Dad.

00:26:23You're back.

00:26:24Dad!

00:26:37What's going on?

00:26:38Are you safe?

00:26:40It's fine. I'm here, okay? You're safe.

00:26:44I had a dream about my dad.

00:26:47One second he was smiling at me and then the next.

00:26:50I just doubt myself sometimes.

00:26:52Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?

00:27:05You're the strongest woman I've ever known.

00:27:06And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.

00:27:19Besides, I'm going to be right here all the time supporting you and protecting you.

00:27:22Protecting me?

00:27:25Protecting me?

00:27:28Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?

00:27:33Okay. Our relationship has in the past.

00:27:37But I would protect you with my life.

00:27:40I'd die for you.

00:27:42I need you to understand that.

00:27:45So you would die for me, but you won't love me?

00:27:52Stay with me.

00:28:19I thought you wanted to keep things professional.

00:28:23You're my bodyguard.

00:28:26And I'm scared.

00:28:29Stay with me.

00:28:31So I can feel safe.

00:28:48If only I could stay by your side like this forever.

00:28:52What are we doing here?

00:28:57I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.

00:29:00You know, just in case.

00:29:02Always got to be prepared.

00:29:04What I mean is, in case I die first and you're still in danger, you could...

00:29:09...fight your way out.

00:29:12First case scenario.

00:29:17What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?

00:29:21No.

00:29:22All the pushing in the wall, it won't do anything.

00:29:23Try putting your hand on the more vulnerable place.

00:29:25That one there.

00:29:26And that one there.

00:29:27And that one there.

00:29:28Push as hard as you can.

00:29:29Right.

00:29:30Right.

00:29:31Oh.

00:29:32Right.

00:29:33Nice.

00:29:35All right.

00:29:36Second scenario.

00:29:37What if somebody...

00:29:38...had you like this?

00:29:39What if somebody...

00:29:40...had you like this?

00:29:43It's just self-defense training.

00:29:44Don't let it get to you, Helena.

00:29:45It's just self-defense training.

00:29:46Don't let it get to you, Helena.

00:29:47Um...

00:29:48All right, second scenario.

00:29:52What if somebody...

00:29:56...had you like this?

00:30:00What if somebody...

00:30:04...had you like this?

00:30:08It's just self-defense training. Don't let it get to you, Alina.

00:30:12Um, I'd

00:30:16go for the more vulnerable part.

00:30:20Stomping on the...

00:30:22Very nice.

00:30:24You're a very fast learner, aren't you?

00:30:26Okay.

00:30:28Third scenario. You ready?

00:30:30All right.

00:30:32What?

00:30:38Someone's got you like this.

00:30:40Starts choking you.

00:30:42Um... You gotta be quick.

00:30:44This...

00:30:46Use your hips.

00:30:48What?

00:30:50Use your hips to thrust me off of you.

00:30:52As hard as you can.

00:30:54Ace, are you okay?

00:30:58Did I hurt your leg?

00:31:00No.

00:31:02It hurt my leg.

00:31:06It's fine. That was a good job.

00:31:08No, you're hurt.

00:31:10Let me...

00:31:11Fine. That was good work, though.

00:31:12Seriously.

00:31:13Ace, the new security equipment just arrived.

00:31:15Can you come check it out?

00:31:16Yeah, sure. Thanks, Josh.

00:31:18Good job today.

00:31:20Seriously.

00:31:22That sounds weird.

00:31:28Ace is hiding something from me.

00:31:34Hi.

00:31:36Alina, right?

00:31:38I'm Josh.

00:31:40I used to serve with Ace in the military,

00:31:42but now we're colleagues.

00:31:44She talks about you a lot.

00:31:46Hi, Josh.

00:31:48Can I ask...

00:31:50Is there something going on with Ace's leg?

00:31:54Huh?

00:31:55Leg?

00:31:56No.

00:31:57Not that I know of.

00:31:58You know, Ace has been single for years now.

00:32:01Everyone here knows that there's someone he's never been able to forget.

00:32:05And that person is you, Alina.

00:32:08You're mistaken.

00:32:10He...

00:32:11He doesn't love me.

00:32:12At all.

00:32:13If you knew him, then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.

00:32:16You know, I might be just an outsider, but...

00:32:19I know Ace.

00:32:21Maybe some things aren't what they seem.

00:32:24Alright.

00:32:25I gotta go check up on Ace and the new equipment.

00:32:27It was nice meeting you, Alina.

00:32:29Maybe some things aren't what they seem.

00:32:33What does that even mean?

00:32:35Yeah, thanks, Josh.

00:32:36Everything looks great.

00:32:37Okay.

00:32:41Ace.

00:32:42Alina asked about your leg.

00:32:46What'd you say?

00:32:50What'd you say?

00:32:51Don't worry.

00:32:52I'd say worry.

00:32:53But...

00:32:54Honestly, man...

00:32:55I think she still cares about you.

00:32:57Maybe it's time you told her the truth.

00:32:58I appreciate your input, Josh, but I think I know what's best for Alina and I...

00:33:02Might wanna deal with that prosthetic soon, though.

00:33:04It's overdue for a replacement.

00:33:06If you keep stalling, you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.

00:33:09You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.

00:33:12I'm still on the job.

00:33:13I can't leave Alina alone.

00:33:14I think that would be very irresponsible of me, don't you think, Josh?

00:33:18Man...

00:33:19I'm a hell of a romantic.

00:33:20You know that?

00:33:21Yeah, well, that makes one of us.

00:33:22Why don't you get the hell out of here, alright?

00:33:24Amen.

00:33:25Amen.

00:33:26Amen.

00:33:27Amen.

00:33:59may your father rest in peace

00:34:01if your father knew that your reckless reforms

00:34:04would be tearing his company apart

00:34:05he would never rest in peace

00:34:06he was your brother

00:34:08if you had even a shred of affection for him

00:34:18than my own father's murder

00:34:54it's enough

00:35:09this was my father's favorite

00:36:31three years ago

00:36:33I waited for you to come back

00:36:35and marry me

00:36:37for another woman

00:37:13no

00:37:14Oh, my God, I drank too much.

00:37:25Did we sleep together?

00:37:28Showered.

00:37:30Had you breakfast.

00:37:32Last night.

00:37:34But you...

00:37:35You were drunk.

00:37:37Very drunk.

00:37:38And took care of you.

00:37:39And that was it.

00:37:40He's not going to mention the kiss?

00:37:43Jerk.

00:37:45Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.

00:37:59You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.

00:38:04Haven't you dealt with that bitchy, Elena, yet?

00:38:06She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.

00:38:08She's hard to handle.

00:38:10The bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her.

00:38:13I can never get her alone and make any real progress.

00:38:15This I will not do.

00:38:17She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.

00:38:20Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.

00:38:22If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.

00:38:26What do you want me to do?

00:38:28The company's annual gala is this weekend.

00:38:30Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board, which we're going to do.

00:38:34It's invite her to go as your date, and you're going to propose to her publicly.

00:38:37Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.

00:38:41We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from your form.

00:38:45Kill two birds with one stone.

00:38:46I like that.

00:38:46Exactly.

00:38:47The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.

00:38:50There's no way she risks taking the company's stock prices again.

00:38:57Elena!

00:38:58Elena!

00:38:59I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.

00:39:02I told you, at least her biggest be chasing this person.

00:39:07He said, for ages, his persistence is kind of impressive.

00:39:18Chad, I...

00:39:19Elena, trust me.

00:39:21I can help you win over a couple more board members for the health care reform plan.

00:39:28Yeah.

00:39:29Yes, I'd love to go to dinner.

00:39:30Great.

00:39:32See you later.

00:39:50How do I look?

00:39:52You look beautiful.

00:39:54You know, I don't know if you have to dress so...

00:39:56formally.

00:39:58What, are you jealous?

00:39:59I just don't think that that guy

00:40:02deserves

00:40:03all of this.

00:40:10Oh, speak of the devil.

00:40:13Beautiful.

00:40:14Elena, we should get going.

00:40:15We're going to be late.

00:40:17And, uh, Ace,

00:40:19remember your place.

00:40:20Okay, there's a sport.

00:40:21You're the bodyguard.

00:40:22So, make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer.

00:40:27Yeah?

00:40:41Elena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses, but I believe the long-term

00:40:46benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.

00:40:50Forget about that for a moment.

00:40:51What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.

00:40:56Given the company's current PR crisis, announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.

00:41:01Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.

00:41:05Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.

00:41:08Chad and I are...

00:41:09Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.

00:41:14Our company has faced challenges recently.

00:41:18But, on this special night, our new CEO, Ms. Elena Pearson, would like to say a few words.

00:41:29Before Ms. Pearson says anything, I have a surprise for her.

00:41:36I have a surprise for her.

00:41:38Elena, I have loved you for so long.

00:41:48Will you marry me?

00:41:54Marry him!

00:41:55Marry him!

00:41:56Marry him!

00:41:58Marry him!

00:41:59Marry him!

00:42:00Marry him!

00:42:01Marry him!

00:42:03Marry him!

00:42:04John, stand up.

00:42:05What are you doing?

00:42:06I don't...

00:42:07Come on, let's go.

00:42:09We're leaving.

00:42:11Woo!

00:42:18What the hell are you doing?

00:42:28Starving out like that in front of all those guests.

00:42:29You've realized how bad you're making the company's image look.

00:42:31Oh, really?

00:42:32So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image?

00:42:35That's ridiculous.

00:42:36Who I marry is none of your business.

00:42:39We're over, Ace.

00:42:40You're just my bodyguard.

00:42:41You don't get to interfere with my life.

00:42:43You don't mean that.

00:42:44You don't love that guy.

00:42:45You barely fucking know him.

00:42:47Who I love is none of your concern.

00:42:50Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins, when you push me away over and over again.

00:42:55Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal, you would have nothing to do with it.

00:42:58You couldn't stop me.

00:43:08Elena!

00:43:09Elena, where are you?

00:43:13Elena, are you in there?

00:43:17Tell him you're busy.

00:43:19Make him leave.

00:43:22Tell him you're busy.

00:43:23Make him leave.

00:43:24I'll be out in a minute.

00:43:46Are you sure you're okay?

00:43:52Yeah, I'm fine.

00:43:52Just...

00:43:53Just go.

00:43:54Go.

00:44:09Ace, you're a bastard.

00:44:11Okay.

00:44:12I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.

00:44:14Oh, and you do?

00:44:16You abandoned me.

00:44:17We were supposed to get married.

00:44:20You have no right to say that to me.

00:44:22What do you think's going on here?

00:44:24Do you think that I don't love you?

00:44:26I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much I...

00:44:28Elena!

00:44:29Who's in there with you?

00:44:30How much what?

00:44:31What are you saying?

00:44:32What are you saying?

00:44:32How much what?

00:44:36What are you saying?

00:44:37Elena!

00:44:39What do you think?

00:44:41What are you two doing in here?

00:44:45I can ask you the same question, Chad.

00:44:48You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there?

00:44:52Proposing in front of everyone?

00:44:53What?

00:44:54Have you lost your mind?

00:44:55Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long, and you've never rejected me.

00:44:58And so that has to mean that you feel the same way.

00:45:02What?

00:45:03I haven't said anything.

00:45:04You need to go out and tell the people the truth.

00:45:06What's the difference?

00:45:07Hmm?

00:45:08Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.

00:45:11Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.

00:45:13It's only natural for us to be together.

00:45:15Hey, don't step closer.

00:45:17And who the hell are you?

00:45:18You're just a fucking bodyguard!

00:45:21Don't think I don't see what's happening.

00:45:24Acting all on your high horse, but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.

00:45:28You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.

00:45:57You see that girl right there?

00:46:03There's no one in the world that I love more than her.

00:46:05You're not going to disrespect her.

00:46:06You show a face around here again, I'm going to fucking kill her.

00:46:08You understand?

00:46:09Do you understand?

00:46:11No!

00:46:20You left me?

00:46:21Did you mean what you said?

00:46:27At least just tell me the truth.

00:46:29That's all it takes for us to start over.

00:46:31No, Elena, I can't be with you.

00:46:36I'm just a man with a prosthetic.

00:46:39I'm not whole.

00:46:39I'll never be enough for you.

00:46:41That was just impulsive.

00:46:42I shouldn't have said that.

00:46:43I'm sorry.

00:46:43You're lying.

00:46:46You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.

00:46:49You'd risk your life for me.

00:46:50You'd stay up all night to protect me.

00:46:52That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.

00:46:55That is something more, and you know it.

00:46:57Moments ago, right here, you said that you love me more than anyone else in the world.

00:47:01It's...

00:47:02Why won't you admit that you still love me?

00:47:07Elena, look.

00:47:12Look.

00:47:14I'm here to guard you.

00:47:16I'm your bodyguard.

00:47:18I shouldn't have crossed the line, and I'm sorry.

00:47:22Now, let's go.

00:47:24Stay away from me.

00:47:26Elena.

00:47:29I'm sorry, Elena.

00:47:31I can't hold you back.

00:47:32You deserve better than a broken man like myself.

00:47:39Can't handle one woman?

00:47:41Absolutely useless.

00:47:42That bitch is going to screw everybody around the whole damn time.

00:47:45What do you want me to do?

00:47:46God, I'm a pathetic freaking loser.

00:47:49I'm going to kill him.

00:47:52It's only a matter of time.

00:47:53If that's the case, there's only one option left.

00:47:57We want Pearson Group.

00:47:59We're going to have to eliminate her.

00:48:00Just like we did her father.

00:48:14You think you can fix everything with these little tricks?

00:48:17It won't work, Ace.

00:48:18It's your favorite.

00:48:20French toast.

00:48:22Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.

00:48:24I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.

00:48:29Oliver, what are you doing here?

00:48:45This is a signed first edition.

00:48:47Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that down for you.

00:48:54And while you were at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.

00:49:01Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?

00:49:11I just want you to be happy, Elena.

00:49:17Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.

00:49:20You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.

00:49:22But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.

00:49:29It wasn't your fault.

00:49:30None of it was.

00:49:32It was mine.

00:49:34Don't think you've won me over.

00:49:36I haven't forgiven you yet.

00:49:39Don't think you've won me over.

00:49:40I haven't forgiven you yet.

00:49:43Go make me a coffee.

00:49:45I have a meeting soon.

00:49:46Miss Pearson, if I may say, Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.

00:49:58And from the way you look at him, it's clear you feel the same way.

00:50:03So why not just be together?

00:50:06Oliver, you don't understand.

00:50:07Every time I take a step forward, he takes two steps back.

00:50:11It's not that simple.

00:50:13Well, then maybe you should take the lead.

00:50:16Valentine's Day is right around the corner.

00:50:20Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?

00:50:28Maybe.

00:50:38Maybe you should take the lead.

00:50:41The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle, and he loved it.

00:50:47Ace, stay here.

00:50:48I have a surprise for you.

00:50:53All right.

00:50:54And your order will be delivered tonight.

00:50:55Thank you so much.

00:50:56Thank you for chatting with us with Pearson.

00:50:57Thank you for chatting with us with Pearson.

00:50:57See you soon.

00:51:26Josh, Josh, the lead has been taken.

00:51:51Activate the tracking system.

00:51:52Get the cops involved.

00:51:53I'm going after them.

00:52:06Who are you?

00:52:07Look at this.

00:52:07It's about the company's health care reforms.

00:52:09And I promised you I'm proposing a new plan.

00:52:12It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.

00:52:14Shut your mouth.

00:52:15Dad, this isn't about health care.

00:52:18You got it all wrong.

00:52:19What?

00:52:26My uncle hired you?

00:52:28He paid you to kill my dad?

00:52:29Ding, ding, ding, ding.

00:52:30Took you long enough to figure out.

00:52:32Daddy's little girl is so clever.

00:52:36Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head.

00:52:39Okay, I'll sign.

00:52:43But you have to let me go after.

00:52:45Good.

00:52:47Sign it.

00:52:48Then you're free to go.

00:52:50He's lying.

00:52:51As soon as I sign, they'll kill me.

00:52:53Think, Elena, think.

00:52:54Hurry up.

00:52:56Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.

00:53:01You good?

00:53:06You good?

00:53:09No, I don't want to die.

00:53:13Please, Ace, save me.

00:53:17Now that this job is complete, I don't have to worry about money ever again.

00:53:23Good job.

00:53:24Good job.

00:53:33Ah!

00:53:34Ah!

00:53:35Ah!

00:53:37Ah!

00:53:38Ah!

00:53:39Stop it.

00:53:41Drop your weapon or I'll blow your brains out.

00:53:43Good.

00:53:44Ace, don't do it.

00:53:45Drop your weapon!

00:53:53Good job.

00:53:53Close your eyes and walk toward me.

00:53:55Good.

00:53:56Ah!

00:53:59Ah!

00:54:00Ah!

00:54:07Ah!

00:54:08Ah!

00:54:09No!

00:54:10No!

00:54:11Ah!

00:54:12Ah!

00:54:13Ah!

00:54:14Ah!

00:54:15Ah!

00:54:15No!

00:54:18Are you crazy?

00:54:20He had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after it.

00:54:23I knew I lost you.

00:54:25It's going to be OK.

00:54:26I know exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.

00:54:32It's over.

00:54:41Who sent you?

00:54:42Fuck!

00:54:45Okay, just get me a medic. I don't want to die.

00:54:47You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers.

00:54:49So talk!

00:54:52It's Houston.

00:54:54He paid me to kill Carter.

00:54:55Where? Thank you, Emelina.

00:54:57There's proof.

00:54:58Where?

00:54:59My left jacket pocket. Just drink it!

00:55:05That idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.

00:55:13Why would he murder his own brother? My father's been nothing but content.

00:55:22Cups are on the way. Everything's fine.

00:55:25Yes, I don't understand.

00:55:27Houston was the company's second largest shareholder. What more could he possibly want?

00:55:32Why would he murder my father?

00:55:35And in front of me, too?

00:55:37I'm going to have to live with that image scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life.

00:55:41Some people just want more.

00:55:43And it's never enough. They're just greedy, and they're monsters, and you never have to think about them again, okay?

00:55:48It's over.

00:55:50Over.

00:55:54I'm going to go home.

00:55:56Hey, let's go.

00:55:57Please pull over.

00:56:09What's wrong?

00:56:10Your arm. It's bleeding.

00:56:12Didn't you notice?

00:56:13No, I didn't notice. It must have happened during the fight.

00:56:16You're unbelievable.

00:56:19It's fine.

00:56:21Just pull over right up there.

00:56:22It's fine.

00:56:22No, I'll take care of it. We'll stop for a minute.

00:56:35Ace, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?

00:56:39Well, come on.

00:56:40Tell me the truth, or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel it.

00:56:44Hey, look, I screwed up, but that's in the past. I just want to move forward, okay?

00:56:57Ace, be honest with me. Do you still love me?

00:57:00Come on, don't try and dodge the question.

00:57:03Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't.

00:57:05You charged right in to save me.

00:57:07If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.

00:57:13I love you.

00:57:15Always have. Never stop. Not even for a second.

00:57:18I believe you this time.

00:57:20Let's start fresh.

00:57:22I love you, Elena. I've always loved you.

00:57:32Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.

00:57:35I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.

00:57:44Today we're here to talk about my healthcare reform strategy.

00:57:48You can't even heal your personal life.

00:57:51The news came out, and this company's stock prices fell another five points.

00:57:55And yet you still think you can push through reforms.

00:57:58I'm the first to object.

00:58:00Elena, do you know how the other healthcare companies are mocking us?

00:58:03They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.

00:58:07Uncle 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?

00:58:18Like hiring someone to kill my father.

00:58:25Like hiring someone to kill my father.

00:58:31That's slander.

00:58:32Your father was killed by an angry citizen who is dissatisfied with the current healthcare system.

00:58:37What does that have to do with me?

00:58:38Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson, and the five million dollars is yours.

00:58:49I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson, and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.

00:58:55I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.

00:59:07You murdered my father and tried to kill me.

00:59:10You need to pay for your crimes.

00:59:12You need to pay for your crimes.

00:59:14Who do you think you are?

00:59:15Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?

00:59:18I gave everything to this company.

00:59:21Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson, inherit this company?

00:59:24What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?

00:59:28This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology that increased our claim denial rate to 40%, the highest in the industry.

00:59:36And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this.

00:59:40He deserved to die.

00:59:42Every accomplishment you've made has been riding off to the coattails of struggling people and my father's life.

00:59:48And you show no remorse for them.

00:59:50You're a monster.

00:59:53Double.

00:59:54Raise your hands.

01:00:01Houston Pearson, your honor and arrest for first-degree murder.

01:00:24All those in favor of implementing my healthcare reform strategy, raise your hand.

01:00:54Very well.

01:00:57It seems the majority has voted yes.

01:00:59I declare that the healthcare reform plan, with the slogan, deliver, declare, and disclose, has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.

01:01:10Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.

01:01:31Great day, guys.

01:01:32Congrats, you two.

01:01:36Looks like you guys are officially back together.

01:01:38Should I be planning your reunion party?

01:01:40That's enough.

01:01:41That's enough.

01:01:41Oh, Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.

01:01:46Thank you so much, guys.

01:01:51If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my healthcare reform plan would have passed.

01:01:56Especially you, Ace.

01:01:59I don't know what I would have done without you.

01:02:01Well, I'll always be your rock.

01:02:08Cheers!

01:02:09Heck yeah.

01:02:10Hey.

01:02:22Hey.

01:02:24Are you looking for me?

01:02:26Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal and is trying to make everyone join him.

01:02:31Followers keep me an eye on him.

01:02:33I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.

01:02:35I guess I have to reserve all my energy for you if you want.

01:02:43Mr. Atkins, your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.

01:02:48What's next on your agenda?

01:02:50I have a few ideas.

01:03:05What's wrong?

01:03:24What's wrong?

01:03:26Nothing.

01:03:26I don't know if we're in the right place or if it's the right time.

01:03:35What?

01:03:37After everything we've been through, Ace, I thought we were past this.

01:03:40I know, but I...

01:03:42But what?

01:03:46I just...

01:03:47I don't think we should rush into this.

01:03:49I think we should think this through, okay?

01:03:51You're a jerk.

01:03:52You're a jerk.

01:03:56I'm an asshole.

01:04:01Why does he keep pushing me away?

01:04:02Ace?

01:04:29Ace!

01:04:31It's okay.

01:04:31Ace!

01:04:32It's okay. He's dead. It's all right.

01:04:42Oh my god, Miss Pearson! I'm going to call an ambulance!

01:04:52Is he going to be okay, Doctor?

01:05:02Don't tell me about a prosthetic leg.

01:05:09All right. I respect your wishes.

01:05:15Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.

01:05:18His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.

01:05:23Thank you, Doctor.

01:05:25By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.

01:05:28Okay, I'll go there now then.

01:05:32Officer, what's going on with the assassin?

01:05:36Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?

01:05:42According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives,

01:05:46has been involved in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.

01:05:50The killer was hired by him.

01:05:52What? Chad was in cahoots with Houston?

01:05:56Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.

01:05:59You can rest assured that with Houston's testimony,

01:06:02all related individuals have been arrested.

01:06:04You're safe.

01:06:06Considering your bodyguard was injured,

01:06:08the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.

01:06:11You can rest.

01:06:13I'm gonna pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.

01:06:18Ace?

01:06:19Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete, and you're no longer in danger, so it's time for me to leave.

01:06:23I just wanted to say goodbye, and I wish you all the best. Ace.

01:06:40What the hell? You're leaving me again?

01:06:44I won't let you leave without an explanation.

01:07:09It's her. The woman that Ace cheated on me with.

01:07:13So you're a physical therapist?

01:07:16That's your daughter and husband?

01:07:18Yes.

01:07:19I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.

01:07:22You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?

01:07:25This involves Ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.

01:07:30But, Alina, I assure you Ace did not betray you.

01:07:34Then why?

01:07:36Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?

01:07:40I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.

01:07:44But I think that, deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.

01:07:49He's just too afraid to tell you.

01:07:51Alina, what are you doing there?

01:07:59Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital, and he just left me a note. Do you know where he is?

01:08:03What?

01:08:05Doesn't he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?

01:08:12What do you mean, prosthetic leg?

01:08:15Oh, man. I wasn't supposed to say that.

01:08:18Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?

01:08:22Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.

01:08:26Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.

01:08:30So, he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.

01:08:34Later, after you got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.

01:08:38He thought a great girl like you deserved better.

01:08:41So, he avoided you at critical moments.

01:08:43Go check out the rehabilitation center. He's getting his new prosthetic leg fit right now.

01:08:51We'll find him, Alina.

01:08:53Ace, you jerk. How could you keep something so important from me?

01:08:57This time, I won't let you go. I won't let you walk away again.

01:09:02Fortunately, you came in time. The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.

01:09:05With treatment, you should recover naturally.

01:09:09This one is nearly made for you. Try it.

01:09:12Thanks.

01:09:35This is the secret you've been keeping for me?

01:09:46This is why you've been pushing me away?

01:09:49What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.

01:09:54This is why you've been pushing me away?

01:09:58Alina, you shouldn't be seeing me like this. I need you to leave right now.

01:10:02Why wouldn't you just tell me?

01:10:05Do you really think that little of me?

01:10:08That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?

01:10:11How was I supposed to tell you this, Alina?

01:10:13I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?

01:10:18Huh?

01:10:20I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.

01:10:24I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?

01:10:25I mean, just fucking look at me, Alina! I can't even stand up straight!

01:10:28But I love you!

01:10:29Ace, can't you see?

01:10:33No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you! Always!

01:10:42Why not come on? Why?

01:10:44Just stop pushing me away!

01:10:47Ace Adkins, you listen to me right now.

01:10:49You have left me. So many times. You can't keep running from me. I am here to stay. Got it?

01:11:02Ace Adkins, you listen to me.

01:11:04Ace Adkins, you listen to me.

01:11:20Nothing feels uncomfortable? Mom, don't try and be tough.

01:11:24No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.

01:11:28So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.

01:11:32I'm disabled, and I might become a burden to you when we're older. Have you thought about that?

01:11:37If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.

01:11:44I love Ace Adkins. The person, not the leg.

01:11:49So what if you're missing a leg? I would love you all the same.

01:11:52Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?

01:11:54No. No. Of course not. I will always be by your side.
