00:00:23I'm still worried. Don't worry
00:00:26I'm gonna be back. I'm gonna be safe and sound. The first thing we're gonna do is get married. I'll be waiting
00:00:48Oh
00:00:50My god, it's so good to see you
00:01:04So sorry to interrupt, but have you seen ace? He was supposed to come out with you ace he's been back for a month
00:01:11He didn't tell you
00:01:16Call him up you'll see
00:01:20Ace came back a month ago, but he hasn't been answering my calls
00:01:32Ace open up. I know you're in there
00:01:50He's what are you doing
00:01:56Who is that woman?
00:02:02Ace open the door
00:02:05Who the hell are you and what do you want with ace?
00:02:07Ace?
00:02:08I need to see him
00:02:15Ace
00:02:17Explain
00:02:18Look, I don't know what you want me to say
00:02:20I
00:02:21It's over
00:02:22I got myself a new girl
00:02:24It's time for you to move on
00:02:26What do you mean it's over?
00:02:29I waited for you for three years
00:02:31You said we were gonna get married when you came back
00:02:33And now you're just telling me to move on
00:02:35I was just fooling around that whole time
00:02:37I didn't mean any of it
00:02:39Besides I was never in love with you like I am with Sally
00:02:42She's the one alright
00:02:43It's not you
00:02:45I don't believe you
00:02:47No, I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face
00:02:50You owe me that at least
00:02:51That's the problem with you, isn't it?
00:02:53You're always demanding this, demanding that
00:02:55If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy
00:02:56You're a spoiled rich heiress
00:02:59And no guy wants a woman like that
00:03:01Can't you understand that?
00:03:03Just fuck off
00:03:06My dad was right about you
00:03:09And I never should have fallen for you
00:03:11I hate you Ace Atkins
00:03:14Did you really have to be so cruel?
00:03:25I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth
00:03:27She's not gonna leave you
00:03:38That's what I'm afraid of
00:03:40I love her
00:03:43She's gotta let her go
00:03:44Let's get you into that wheelchair
00:03:49Let's get you into that wheelchair
00:03:50I want you to end things with Elena
00:03:59The engagement is off
00:04:00Take this money as your compensation
00:04:02Mr. Pearson
00:04:15I've obviously always have had a lot of respect for you
00:04:21Quite frankly, you have no interest
00:04:23Quite frankly, you have no interest
00:04:24In your money
00:04:25All I need is a chance to talk to Elena
00:04:27That's all I'm asking
00:04:28What can you possibly do for Elena?
00:04:30When you can't even stand on your own
00:04:32All you'll do is break her heart
00:04:34I'll never let my little girl
00:04:36I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple
00:04:38If you really love her
00:04:40Leave her alone
00:04:41Thanks for doing this, Sally
00:04:42I really appreciate it
00:04:46We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes
00:04:52I'll go get the equipment
00:05:01I love you, Elena
00:05:02Forget about me
00:05:03You'll find happiness again
00:05:07Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare
00:05:20Was fatally shot by a gunman on Fifth Avenue
00:05:24Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare
00:05:29Was fatally shot by a gunman on Fifth Avenue
00:05:32Police suspect the attack may be related to the wave of insurance policy changes
00:05:36that Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement
00:05:38For now, the gunman remains at large
00:05:40While Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter
00:05:42is set to take over as CEO
00:05:44Clean that up
00:05:46While Alaina Pearson, the victim's daughter, is set to take over as CEO.
00:06:01Clean that up.
00:06:09Good morning, gentlemen.
00:06:10I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:06:13I will be continuing to advance health care reform.
00:06:18The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage
00:06:23and to make health care more affordable for everyone.
00:06:27My plan...
00:06:30What the hell with your shit plan?
00:06:33You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:06:36I reject it.
00:06:37Uncle Houston, poor health care policies have led to my father's death.
00:06:41My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:06:45No matter what you say, I will never, ever change my mind.
00:06:50Really?
00:06:51You think you can control the entire group?
00:06:55I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:06:57Oh, boy.
00:07:15Come on.
00:07:18Come on.
00:07:19Good.
00:07:20Good.
00:07:20Good.
00:07:20Good.
00:07:22Good.
00:07:24Good.
00:07:24Looks like you all need some more training still.
00:07:44Got a long way to go.
00:07:48Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform or will she be next
00:07:52on the assassin's list?
00:07:55Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket please?
00:07:58Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:08:00You could totally assign someone else to handle Elena's case.
00:08:03So you heard the news too, huh?
00:08:05You think anyone's gonna protect her like I would, Josh?
00:08:09I'll handle it.
00:08:11Elena, today you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:08:25We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.
00:08:28Simple as that.
00:08:29Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:08:32Have you lost your mind?
00:08:45Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:08:46No one here will testify against me.
00:08:48Just sign the damn paper.
00:08:50Are you all gonna let him do this?
00:08:53Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away in those lowlifes.
00:08:56Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:09:03Let's go, Russ.
00:09:05Come on.
00:09:07Get your hands off of her.
00:09:22No way.
00:09:24That voice.
00:09:25It can't be him.
00:09:29It can't be him.
00:09:30Yeah!
00:09:31Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:09:45I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:09:47It's been three years.
00:09:49I've missed you, Elena.
00:09:50You're my what?
00:09:51Jesus, Elena.
00:09:52Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:09:55You stupid or something.
00:10:00You insult my boss again.
00:10:01You're gonna be the one that needs some fucking healthcare.
00:10:04Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:10:12Leave!
00:10:13Or you're fired.
00:10:14I don't give a shit you're my uncle.
00:10:15There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena.
00:10:18And that's to get rid of them.
00:10:20Just like I got rid of your father.
00:10:26What are you doing here?
00:10:28No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:10:31Well, Miss Pearson.
00:10:32Mr. Atkins.
00:10:33I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:10:37Miss, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought after bodyguard in America.
00:10:45Now, as for the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:10:54No.
00:10:55I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:11:00I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:11:03Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.
00:11:07Anyone but him.
00:11:08Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:11:11With him around, your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:11:17Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute?
00:11:19I need to talk to him.
00:11:20Yes, ma'am.
00:11:25Ace, what are you doing here?
00:11:27I was just making sure that you're safe.
00:11:29Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now and, well, I was worried about you.
00:11:35We broke up three years ago.
00:11:37You cheated on me.
00:11:38You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:11:40The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:11:45The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:11:49Now, go.
00:11:50I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:11:56Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:12:02Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:12:04Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:12:07You're delusional.
00:12:09Oh, I know.
00:12:14The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.
00:12:19Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:12:24Let go.
00:12:29Take me home.
00:12:30Take me home.
00:12:34Elena!
00:12:39Asshole.
00:12:40You broke my heart.
00:12:41Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:12:49That's odd.
00:12:50I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:13:00Someone broke in.
00:13:01The killer?
00:13:02The killer?
00:13:05No.
00:13:09Why so surprised, princess?
00:13:28Didn't you know you were going to be next?
00:13:32No, I don't want to die, please.
00:13:35Someone help me.
00:13:39I don't want to die.
00:14:09Oh, God.
00:14:19I thought I was going to die.
00:14:22You're safe.
00:14:24You're hurt.
00:14:25You're all right.
00:14:26You saved me.
00:14:29Nice.
00:14:32You're bleeding.
00:14:33He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even harder than he used to be.
00:14:42He's still got that same glow.
00:14:44God, I missed her.
00:14:48Do you remember the last time we met her?
00:14:51I'm better.
00:15:04He's hard.
00:15:06Yes, ma'am.
00:15:07That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:15:15I should wrap that up.
00:15:18He tried to stab me in the leg, and he missed.
00:15:22It's fine.
00:15:23I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:15:29Is there something wrong?
00:15:30It's fine.
00:15:31What?
00:15:43Okay.
00:15:43Okay.
00:15:44Oh, my, am I interrupting?
00:16:11No, no. Ace cut himself, and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:16:20Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up.
00:16:25Wait, he's not staying with me.
00:16:28Yes, Miss Pearson, of course. That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:16:35The contract clearly states that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7 to ensure your safety.
00:16:44Oliver, it's not just about the contract. I can't...
00:16:48I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:16:53You must understand. You might very well be the next target.
00:16:59If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:17:06Okay, fine. Oliver, you win.
00:17:10Brilliant. Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:17:19I would take a bullet for her.
00:17:25You're the first door on the left. You can stay there.
00:17:41Elena, please. Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:17:45We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:17:49Now, if you're going to be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries.
00:17:53So, here's how it's going to go.
00:17:55You are going to do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm going to live my life.
00:17:59Nothing else. Is that clear?
00:18:03Crystal, I can unpack myself.
00:18:09Is this his wallet?
00:18:21You said you never left me, so why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?
00:18:37I checked the house. It's all clear. Safe to sleep.
00:18:49Great. Thanks. I'm going to go to bed now.
00:18:53Ah! Shit!
00:18:55Shit!
00:19:09Ah!
00:19:17Shit!
00:19:26Sorry.
00:19:28I thought you were in danger.
00:19:30Just hand me that towel.
00:19:39It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:19:55Be professional. I'm still your boss, remember?
00:20:03Yes, ma'am.
00:20:09You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:13And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:20You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:24And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:27You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:31And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:48Ace, I have some scar cream for you.
00:20:49Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:20:56Hey, what's up?
00:20:58Hey.
00:21:00Just...
00:21:02I have something for the scars.
00:21:05I can put it on.
00:21:06Great.
00:21:18I'm surprised that you still...
00:21:22...show this much care for me still.
00:21:25Get over yourself.
00:21:27I'm just helping you, because I'm nice.
00:21:30Elena, calm yourself.
00:21:31He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:21:35Okay.
00:21:40Hold on.
00:21:48Okay, what is with you and this blanket?
00:21:51I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:21:54I think it's fine.
00:21:56I'm just sitting.
00:21:58It's how I sit.
00:22:00I call BS. Let me see it.
00:22:14What if I'm, um...
00:22:16...hiding something under there?
00:22:18Maybe I'm hiding an owner to see it.
00:22:21I see it.
00:22:27Um...
00:22:31You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:22:32You're my bodyguard.
00:22:34You should keep things professional.
00:22:38Goodnight for you.
00:22:42Goodnight.
00:22:46You're right, Elena.
00:22:48I'm just your bodyguard.
00:22:49You're right.
00:22:59Elena.
00:23:01I want you to put this on.
00:23:02It's lightweight.
00:23:03You won't even feel it.
00:23:05I'm not wearing that.
00:23:06You can either do it yourself, or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:23:10And I can do it.
00:23:11And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:23:14Look, I can do it myself.
00:23:19You need to...
00:23:20I can do it.
00:23:21I can do it myself.
00:23:23May I?
00:23:24I've got it.
00:23:26Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:23:30Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:23:46Excuse me.
00:23:50Okay, I have to go.
00:23:52I'm late for work.
00:23:54Yes, ma'am.
00:24:00I'm assuming the assassination didn't go as planned.
00:24:03That idiot calls himself a hitman.
00:24:05He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:24:08Chad, I'm leaving this to you.
00:24:11Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb, and Pearson HealthCare is ours.
00:24:15Consider it done.
00:24:23Jesus, Chad, how many times have I told you to knock?
00:24:26What do you want?
00:24:28You owe me dinner, remember?
00:24:30I don't remember, but I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral, so can we take a brain check?
00:24:36Let me hand up the funeral preparations.
00:24:39You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:24:42This is how people get burned down.
00:24:43You need to take some time off to relax.
00:24:53Yeah.
00:24:55You know what?
00:24:56Let's do dinner.
00:24:56Let's do dinner.
00:25:00Great.
00:25:14Sir, this is a table for two.
00:25:20Why don't you go sit over there?
00:25:21I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:25:31I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times, but thanks for checking in.
00:25:49Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:26:00You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:26:01Go ahead.
00:26:0782 Lafite.
00:26:09Your favorite.
00:26:10I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:26:14Here, have a taste.
00:26:19Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:26:22I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:26:25Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:26:32My apologies.
00:26:38Elena.
00:26:42I know how tough it's been for you, and I want you to know that I'm here for you.
00:26:48Always.
00:26:50And that my heart belongs to you.
00:26:51Sorry, Chad.
00:26:56I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:26:59Can we eat?
00:27:02I'm starving.
00:27:03Yeah.
00:27:04Sam.
00:27:06The mango salad.
00:27:11Oh, hey, Sam.
00:27:12Sorry about that.
00:27:14She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:27:16Do you mind bringing out another plate without them?
00:27:18He still remembers?
00:27:20I'll see what I can do about that.
00:27:25Wait, didn't you two just meet?
00:27:28How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:31How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:35Well, we actually go way back.
00:27:37And I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference on mangoes.
00:27:40He's my bodyguard.
00:27:42Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know.
00:27:45I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:27:49Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:27:54What was that tonight?
00:28:21If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:28:25Maybe you're just seeing things the way you want to see them.
00:28:30You ever think about that?
00:28:31How could I forget?
00:28:33Right, you shattered my heart.
00:28:37Come on, guys.
00:28:37Save it.
00:28:39Just go home.
00:28:40Your funeral preparation's to make anyway.
00:28:42I'm sorry, Elena.
00:28:48I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:28:51I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:28:58Elena!
00:29:00Elena?
00:29:01Dad, you're back.
00:29:03What's going on?
00:29:18Let me see.
00:29:21It's fine.
00:29:21I'm here with you, okay?
00:29:23You're safe.
00:29:25I had a dream about my dad.
00:29:27One second, he was smiling at me, and then the next day.
00:29:41I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:29:45Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:29:48You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:29:59And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:30:03Besides, I'm going to be right here the whole time supporting you.
00:30:06Protecting you.
00:30:10Protecting me?
00:30:13Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:30:16I don't know.
00:30:18I love you.
00:30:19A relationship that is in the past.
00:30:23But I would protect you with my life.
00:30:26I'd die for you.
00:30:28I need you to understand that.
00:30:32So you would die for me, but you won't love me.
00:30:42So you would die for me, but you won't love me.
00:30:46Stay with me.
00:31:10I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:31:11You're my bodyguard.
00:31:16And I'm scared.
00:31:20Stay with me.
00:31:22So I can feel safe.
00:31:24If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:31:50What are we doing here?
00:31:51I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques, you know, just in case.
00:31:57Always got to be prepared.
00:31:59What I mean is, in case I die first and you're still in danger, you can fight your way out.
00:32:08First case scenario.
00:32:14What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:32:18No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:32:28Try putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.
00:32:33Dug one there.
00:32:36And down there.
00:32:37Push as hard as you can.
00:32:38All right.
00:32:44Nice.
00:32:48All right.
00:32:49Second scenario.
00:32:52What if somebody...
00:32:54Had you like this?
00:32:57It's just self-defense training.
00:33:10Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:33:13What's your move?
00:33:16Um, I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:33:21Like, stomping on the foot.
00:33:23Very nice.
00:33:27You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:33:30Okay.
00:33:31Third scenario.
00:33:33You ready?
00:33:34All right.
00:33:37What?
00:33:42Someone's got you like this.
00:33:45Starts choking you.
00:33:47Um...
00:33:48You gotta be quick.
00:33:49Like this?
00:33:50Use your hips.
00:33:54What?
00:33:56Use your hips to thrust me off of you as hard as you can.
00:34:03Ace, are you okay?
00:34:05Did I hurt your leg?
00:34:06No.
00:34:07What was that sound?
00:34:12This didn't hurt my leg.
00:34:14It's fine.
00:34:15That was a good job.
00:34:17No, you're hurt.
00:34:18Let me...
00:34:19Fine.
00:34:19That was good work, though.
00:34:20Seriously.
00:34:22Ace, the new security equipment just arrived.
00:34:24Can you come check it out?
00:34:25Yeah, sure.
00:34:26Thanks, Josh.
00:34:28Good job today.
00:34:30Seriously.
00:34:36That sound was weird.
00:34:38Ace is hiding something from me.
00:34:46Hi.
00:34:47Alina, right?
00:34:49I'm Josh.
00:34:50I used to serve with Ace in the military, but now we're colleagues.
00:34:54He talks about you a lot.
00:34:56Hi, Josh.
00:34:56I'm sorry.
00:34:59Can I ask, is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:35:06Huh?
00:35:07Leg?
00:35:08No.
00:35:09Not that I know of.
00:35:11You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:35:14Everyone here knows that there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:35:19And that person is you, Alina.
00:35:21You're mistaken.
00:35:24He...
00:35:24He doesn't love me.
00:35:26At all.
00:35:27If you knew him, then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:35:31You know, I might be just an outsider, but I know Ace.
00:35:36Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:35:39Alright, I gotta go check out on Ace and the new equipment.
00:35:43It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:35:46Maybe some things aren't what they seem?
00:35:49What does that even mean?
00:35:51Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:35:52Everything looks great.
00:35:53Okay.
00:35:58Ace.
00:35:59Alina asked about your leg.
00:36:03What'd you say?
00:36:08What'd you say?
00:36:09Don't worry.
00:36:10I'd say it were.
00:36:12But, honestly, man, I think she still cares about you.
00:36:16Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:36:17I appreciate your input, Josh, but I think I know what's best for Alina, and I...
00:36:20You might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:36:24It's overdue for a replacement.
00:36:26If you keep stalling, you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:36:29You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:36:32I'm still on the job.
00:36:33I can't leave Alina alone.
00:36:35I think that would be very, uh, irresponsible of me, don't you think, Josh?
00:36:39Man, you're in hell romantic.
00:36:41You know that?
00:36:42Yeah, well, that makes one of us.
00:36:43Why don't you get the hell out of here, all right?
00:36:45Let's do it.
00:36:46Let's do it.
00:36:49Let's do it.
00:36:51Almighty God, in your mercy, turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life and the sorrow of parting into the joy of heaven.
00:37:10Through our Savior Jesus Christ, who died, rose again, and lives forevermore. Amen.
00:37:21My deepest condolences. May your father rest in peace.
00:37:26If your father knew that your reckless reforms would be tearing his company apart, he would never rest in peace.
00:37:32He was your brother. If you had even a shred of affection for him, you would never say something like that at his funeral.
00:37:39You know, Uncle Houston, I've always wondered, you've been far angrier about the healthcare reforms than my own father's murder.
00:37:46Could it be that you had something to do with his death?
00:37:49That is outrageous slander. How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral?
00:37:58I'm sorry for your loss.
00:38:07I'm sorry for your loss.
00:38:11I love you perfectly CAW!
00:38:12I am sorry for your loss.
00:38:14I'm sorry for your loss.
00:38:17If your father trulyodes Ganze at the fall of the dying of sorrow or comingуй hear me?
00:38:21I'm afraid I'm stepped up.
00:38:25I'm sorry for your loss.
00:38:27I'm sorry for your loss.
00:38:30I'm sorry for your loss.
00:38:32That's enough.
00:38:47This was my father's favorite.
00:38:50I got it for him for his birthday,
00:38:51but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:38:56Oh.
00:39:02Right here.
00:39:06Not going anywhere.
00:39:15Okay.
00:39:18Don't go.
00:39:22Don't go.
00:39:26Can you promise
00:39:28you won't leave me again?
00:39:31Promise.
00:39:33I'll never leave you again.
00:39:35Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:39:40Someone that you can't forget.
00:39:41Is that someone me?
00:39:46Tell me, Ace.
00:39:54Yes.
00:39:56That someone is you.
00:39:58And it always has been.
00:40:00If you love me,
00:40:01then why did you break up with me?
00:40:02Look, it's been a long day.
00:40:04I don't think
00:40:04we should talk about it.
00:40:08I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:40:09You did hurt me.
00:40:12Three years ago,
00:40:14I waited for you to come back
00:40:16and marry me,
00:40:17and then you left me
00:40:18for another woman.
00:40:19You broke my heart.
00:40:21and then you just
00:40:22walked back in my life
00:40:23like nothing happened.
00:40:25No.
00:40:26No.
00:40:27No.
00:40:27No.
00:40:27No.
00:40:27No.
00:40:27No.
00:40:27No.
00:40:27No.
00:40:28No.
00:40:28No.
00:40:43No.
00:40:44No.
00:40:44No.
00:40:52Oh, my God, I drank too much.
00:41:11Can we sleep together?
00:41:14All right.
00:41:16It's a breakfast.
00:41:18Last night,
00:41:19we...
00:41:22You were drunk.
00:41:24Very drunk.
00:41:25I took care of you.
00:41:26That was it.
00:41:27He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:41:30Jerk.
00:41:33Well, thank you so much
00:41:36for taking such great care of me,
00:41:38Mr. Bodyguard.
00:41:39You've been far angrier
00:41:50about the health care reforms
00:41:51than my own father's murder.
00:41:53Haven't you dealt with that bitch, Elena, yet?
00:41:56She's starting to suspect
00:41:57I had something to do
00:41:57with her father's death.
00:41:59She's hard to handle.
00:42:00A bodyguard of hers
00:42:01is practically glued onto her.
00:42:03I can never get her alone
00:42:04and make any real progress.
00:42:05This will not do.
00:42:08She's been lobbying
00:42:09aggressively within the company.
00:42:11Some of the board
00:42:12are starting to support her reforms.
00:42:13If she keeps this up,
00:42:15I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:42:18What do you want me to do?
00:42:20The company's annual gala
00:42:21is this weekend.
00:42:23Elena will undoubtedly use it
00:42:24to rally more support
00:42:25from the board.
00:42:26What you're going to do
00:42:27is invite her to go as your date
00:42:28and then you're going to
00:42:29propose to her publicly.
00:42:31Tell her she'll get more support
00:42:32from the board
00:42:33if she's married with a husband.
00:42:34We can use the engagement
00:42:35to shift public focus
00:42:37away from her form.
00:42:39Kill two birds with one stone.
00:42:40I like that.
00:42:41Exactly.
00:42:41The media will be there
00:42:42and she won't reject you
00:42:43in front of everyone.
00:42:45There's no way she risks
00:42:46tanking the company's
00:42:47stock prices again.
00:42:53Elena.
00:42:54I was hoping I would
00:42:56be able to escort you
00:42:57to the company dinner
00:42:58this weekend.
00:43:01I told you
00:43:01Mr. Vegas
00:43:02would be chasing this person.
00:43:03He's been out for ages.
00:43:05His persistence
00:43:05is kind of impressive.
00:43:15Chad, I...
00:43:16Elena, trust me.
00:43:18I can help you
00:43:19win over a couple
00:43:20more board members
00:43:20for the health care
00:43:21reform plan.
00:43:26Yeah.
00:43:27Yes, I would love
00:43:28to go to dinner.
00:43:30Great.
00:43:31See you later.
00:43:31How do I look?
00:43:53You look beautiful.
00:43:54You know, I don't know
00:43:56if you have to dress
00:43:56so formally.
00:43:59Are you jealous?
00:44:01I just don't think
00:44:03that that guy
00:44:04deserves
00:44:05all of this.
00:44:13Oh, speak of the double.
00:44:16Beautiful.
00:44:18Elena, we should get going.
00:44:18We're going to be late.
00:44:19And, uh, Ace,
00:44:22remember your place.
00:44:24Okay, there, sport?
00:44:25You're the bodyguard.
00:44:28So make sure you keep
00:44:28a professional distance
00:44:30between you and your
00:44:31employer, yeah?
00:44:31Yeah.
00:44:32Elena's health care reform plan
00:44:48might have some
00:44:49short-term losses,
00:44:50but I believe
00:44:51the long-term benefits
00:44:53far outweigh
00:44:54the small drawbacks.
00:44:57Forget about that
00:44:58for a moment.
00:44:58What we're really curious
00:44:59about is how far
00:45:01you two have gotten.
00:45:03Given the company's
00:45:04current PR crisis,
00:45:06announcing a wedding
00:45:07might actually help
00:45:08repair its image.
00:45:09Elena,
00:45:10Chad seems like
00:45:11an excellent match.
00:45:13Oh, um,
00:45:14Mr. and Mrs. Hans,
00:45:15you're mistaken.
00:45:17Chad and I are...
00:45:17Thank you for your blessing
00:45:18and we'll seriously consider it.
00:45:24Our company has faced
00:45:26challenges recently,
00:45:28but on this special night,
00:45:31our new CEO,
00:45:33Ms. Elena Pearson,
00:45:35would like to say
00:45:35a few words.
00:45:40Before Ms. Pearson
00:45:41says anything,
00:45:42I have a surprise for her.
00:45:47I have a surprise for her.
00:45:50Elena,
00:45:50I have loved you
00:45:51for so long.
00:46:06Will you marry me?
00:46:07Marry him!
00:46:09Marry him!
00:46:10Marry him!
00:46:11Marry him!
00:46:13Marry him!
00:46:14Marry him!
00:46:15Marry him!
00:46:18Chad, stand up.
00:46:19What are you doing?
00:46:21I don't know.
00:46:22Come on, let's go.
00:46:24We're leaving.
00:46:24Okay.
00:46:43What the hell are you doing?
00:46:45Storming out like that
00:46:45in front of all those guests,
00:46:46you've realized
00:46:47how bad you're making
00:46:48the company's image look.
00:46:49Oh, really?
00:46:50So what,
00:46:50you're gonna just marry that guy
00:46:51to save the company's image?
00:46:53That's ridiculous.
00:46:54Who I marry
00:46:55is none of your business.
00:46:57We're over, Ace.
00:46:58You're just my bodyguard.
00:46:59You don't get to interfere
00:47:00with my life.
00:47:01You don't mean that.
00:47:03You don't love that guy.
00:47:04You barely fucking know him.
00:47:06Who I love
00:47:06is none of your concern.
00:47:09Don't pretend to care
00:47:11about me, Ace Atkins,
00:47:12when you've pushed me away
00:47:13over and over again.
00:47:15Even if I'd said yes
00:47:16to Chad's proposal,
00:47:17you would have nothing
00:47:17to do with it
00:47:18and you couldn't stop me.
00:47:29Elena!
00:47:30Elena, where are you?
00:47:34Elena, are you in there?
00:47:35Tell him you're busy.
00:47:41Make him leave.
00:47:44Tell him you're busy.
00:47:46Make him leave.
00:47:47I'll be out in a minute.
00:48:12Are you sure you're okay?
00:48:13Okay.
00:48:17Yeah, I'm fine.
00:48:18Just...
00:48:19Just go.
00:48:36Ace, you're a bastard.
00:48:39Look, I'm sorry about that,
00:48:40but that guy doesn't
00:48:41fucking deserve you.
00:48:42Owen, you do?
00:48:43You abandoned me.
00:48:45We were supposed
00:48:46to get married.
00:48:48You have no right
00:48:49to say that to me.
00:48:50What do you think
00:48:51is going on here?
00:48:53Do you think that I
00:48:54don't love you?
00:48:55I mean, do you have
00:48:56any fucking idea
00:48:57how much I...
00:48:57Elena!
00:48:58Who's in there with you?
00:48:59How much what?
00:49:00What are you saying?
00:49:05How much...
00:49:06How much what?
00:49:06What are you saying?
00:49:08Elena!
00:49:09What do you think?
00:49:10What are you two doing in here?
00:49:17I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:49:19You told me it was just a date
00:49:21to the gala
00:49:21and then you go and pull
00:49:22that stunt out there?
00:49:24Proposing in front of everyone?
00:49:26What?
00:49:26Have you lost your mind?
00:49:27Elena, I have been pursuing you
00:49:28for so long
00:49:30and you've never rejected me.
00:49:31So that has to mean
00:49:33that you feel the same way.
00:49:35What?
00:49:36I haven't said anything.
00:49:38You need to go out
00:49:39and tell the people the truth.
00:49:40What's the difference?
00:49:41Hmm?
00:49:42Everybody already thinks
00:49:43that you're my fiancé now.
00:49:45Since you never rejected me,
00:49:46it's clear that you like me.
00:49:48It's only natural
00:49:48for us to be together.
00:49:49Hey, don't step closer.
00:49:51And who the hell are you?
00:49:53You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:49:56Don't think I don't see
00:49:57what's happening.
00:49:59Acting all on your high horse,
00:50:01but deep down,
00:50:01you're just a slut
00:50:02sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:50:09Bravo.
00:50:13Bravo.
00:50:13You two are the perfect
00:50:14pair of adulterers.
00:50:15Hey, this must be nice, huh?
00:50:17Living with your boss,
00:50:18sleeping with her on the side.
00:50:20Shut the fuck up.
00:50:21Some matter, struck a nerve?
00:50:22Elena, you have the audacity
00:50:25to accuse me
00:50:27of damaging the company?
00:50:29Take a look in the mirror.
00:50:31You're the CEO
00:50:32sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:50:34You're the real disgrace
00:50:35of the piercing group.
00:50:36Boom!
00:50:36You see that girl right there?
00:50:42There's no one in the world
00:50:43that I love more than her.
00:50:45You're not going to disrespect her.
00:50:46You show face around here again,
00:50:47I'm going to fucking kill her.
00:50:48You understand?
00:50:49You understand?
00:50:50You understand?
00:51:01You left me?
00:51:02Did you mean what you said?
00:51:09Ace, just tell me the truth.
00:51:11That's all it takes
00:51:12for us to start over.
00:51:16No.
00:51:17Elena, I can't be with you.
00:51:19I'm just a man
00:51:20with a prosthetic.
00:51:22I'm not whole.
00:51:22I'll never be enough for you.
00:51:24I was just impulsive.
00:51:25I shouldn't have said that.
00:51:26I'm sorry.
00:51:27You're lying.
00:51:30You still keep a photo
00:51:31of us in your wallet.
00:51:33You'd risk your life for me.
00:51:35You'd stay up all night
00:51:36to protect me.
00:51:37That is not just
00:51:38a bodyguard doing his job.
00:51:39That is something more
00:51:40and you know it.
00:51:42Moments ago, right here,
00:51:43you said that you love me
00:51:45more than anyone else
00:51:46in the world.
00:51:47Ace.
00:51:50Why won't you admit
00:51:51that you still love me?
00:51:53Elena, look.
00:51:54I'm here to guard you.
00:52:03I'm your bodyguard.
00:52:06I shouldn't have
00:52:06crossed the line,
00:52:07and I'm sorry.
00:52:09Now, let's go.
00:52:12Stay away from me.
00:52:14Elena.
00:52:17I'm sorry, Elena.
00:52:19I can't hold you back.
00:52:20You deserve better
00:52:21than a broken man
00:52:22like myself.
00:52:24Can't handle one woman?
00:52:31Absolutely useless.
00:52:32That bitch has been
00:52:33screwing my bodyguard
00:52:34the whole damn time.
00:52:35What do you want me to do?
00:52:36That pathetic
00:52:37freaking loser.
00:52:40I'm going to kill him.
00:52:42It's only a matter of time.
00:52:44If that's the case,
00:52:46there's only one option left.
00:52:48We want Pearson Group.
00:52:50We're going to have
00:52:51to eliminate her.
00:52:52Just like we did
00:52:53her father.
00:53:07You think you can
00:53:08fix everything
00:53:09with these little tricks?
00:53:10It won't work, Ace.
00:53:12It's your favorite.
00:53:13French toast.
00:53:15Been up since six,
00:53:16making sure everything
00:53:17was perfect.
00:53:18I know it's been a while,
00:53:20so I hope it tastes like
00:53:21how you remember it.
00:53:23Oliver, what are you doing here?
00:53:41This is a signed first edition.
00:53:45Mr. Atkins went through
00:53:47several of his connections
00:53:48to track that down
00:53:50for you.
00:53:51And while you were
00:53:53at your meetings,
00:53:54he took it upon himself
00:53:55to redecorate
00:53:57your entire office.
00:54:06Do you really think
00:54:07gestures like these
00:54:08are going to make me
00:54:08forgive you?
00:54:12I just want you
00:54:13to be happy.
00:54:15Elena,
00:54:16whether you forgive me
00:54:17or not doesn't really
00:54:18matter.
00:54:19You have every right
00:54:20to hate me
00:54:21and to push me away
00:54:21if that's what you want.
00:54:23But please,
00:54:25just don't let this anger
00:54:27eat away at you.
00:54:29It wasn't your fault.
00:54:31None of it was.
00:54:33It was mine.
00:54:35Don't think you've won me over.
00:54:37I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:38I don't think you've won me over.
00:54:42I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:43Go make me a coffee.
00:54:48I have a meeting soon.
00:54:54Ms. Pearson,
00:54:56if I may say,
00:54:58Mr. Atkins cares for you
00:55:00deeply.
00:55:02And from the way
00:55:03you look at him,
00:55:04it's clear you feel
00:55:05the same way.
00:55:07So why not just be together?
00:55:10Oliver, you don't understand.
00:55:11And every time
00:55:12I take a step forward,
00:55:13he takes two steps back.
00:55:16It's not that simple.
00:55:18Well, then maybe
00:55:18you should
00:55:19take the lead.
00:55:22Valentine's Day
00:55:23is right around the corner.
00:55:25Why not use the occasion
00:55:27to clear the air
00:55:28and finally
00:55:30talk it through?
00:55:31Hmm?
00:55:34Maybe.
00:55:41Maybe you should
00:55:47take the lead.
00:55:50The first gift
00:55:51I ever gave Ace
00:55:52was a motorcycle
00:55:53and he loved it.
00:55:56Ace, stay here.
00:55:56I have a surprise for you.
00:56:02All right.
00:56:03And your order
00:56:04will be delivered tonight.
00:56:05Thank you so much.
00:56:06Thank you for shopping
00:56:06with us, Ms. Pearson.
00:56:41Josh, Josh.
00:57:05Elena's been taking.
00:57:06Activate the tracking system.
00:57:07Get the cops involved.
00:57:09I'll go on after her.
00:57:11Who are you?
00:57:24Look at this.
00:57:24It's about the company's
00:57:25health care reforms
00:57:26that I promised you.
00:57:27I'm proposing a new plan.
00:57:29It's set to pass on Monday,
00:57:31so please don't kill me.
00:57:32Shut your mouth.
00:57:34This isn't about health care.
00:57:36You got it all wrong.
00:57:37What?
00:57:37Come on.
00:57:39My uncle hired you?
00:57:47He paid you to kill my dad?
00:57:49Ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:57:49Took you long enough
00:57:50to figure out.
00:57:52Daddy's little girl
00:57:53is so clever.
00:57:56Now sign the damn thing
00:57:58or I'll put a hole
00:57:58in your head!
00:57:59Oh!
00:57:59Oh!
00:57:59Okay, I'll sign.
00:58:04But you have to let me go after.
00:58:06Good.
00:58:08Sign it.
00:58:09Then you're free to go.
00:58:11He's lying.
00:58:12As soon as I sign,
00:58:13he'll kill me.
00:58:14Think, Elena.
00:58:15Think.
00:58:16Hurry up.
00:58:18Don't try anything stupid
00:58:19to break your legs
00:58:21before you can escape.
00:58:23Okay?
00:58:25Shit.
00:58:34No.
00:58:35I don't want to die.
00:58:36Please, Ace, save me.
00:58:41Now that this job is completed,
00:58:43I can never have to worry
00:58:44about money ever again.
00:58:48Good job.
00:58:49Drop your weapon
00:59:08or I'll bowl her brains out.
00:59:10Ace, don't do it.
00:59:12Drop your weapon!
00:59:14Drop your weapon!
00:59:19Good job.
00:59:21Close your eyes
00:59:22and walk toward me.
00:59:23Go ahead.
00:59:38No!
00:59:40No!
00:59:40Are you crazy?
00:59:52He had a gun pointed at your head
00:59:53and you still went after him.
00:59:55I thought I lost you.
00:59:57It's gonna be okay.
01:00:00I knew exactly what he was doing
01:00:02when he asked me to close my eyes.
01:00:04It's over.
01:00:05It's over.
01:00:09No!
01:00:10Fuck!
01:00:12Fuck!
01:00:14Who sent you?
01:00:15Ah!
01:00:16Ah!
01:00:17Ah!
01:00:18Okay, just get me a medic.
01:00:20I don't want to die!
01:00:21You're gonna get some help
01:00:21as soon as you give me
01:00:22some fucking answers,
01:00:23so talk!
01:00:24No!
01:00:25No!
01:00:26It's Houston!
01:00:28He paid me to kill Carter.
01:00:30The kid, Emelina.
01:00:32There's proof.
01:00:33Where?
01:00:34My left jacket pocket.
01:00:35Just drink it!
01:00:37Ah!
01:00:41Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson,
01:00:43and the five million dollars
01:00:45is yours.
01:00:50Why would he murder
01:00:51his own brother?
01:00:52My father's been
01:00:52nothing but kind to him.
01:00:59The cops are on the way.
01:01:01Everything's fine.
01:01:03Because I don't understand.
01:01:05Houston was the company's
01:01:06second largest shareholder.
01:01:08What more could he possibly want?
01:01:10Why would he murder my father?
01:01:14And in front of me, too!
01:01:16I'm gonna have to live
01:01:17with that image
01:01:18scarred into the back of my mind
01:01:20for the rest of my life!
01:01:21Some people just want more.
01:01:23And it's never enough.
01:01:24They're just greedy
01:01:25and they're monsters
01:01:26and you never have to think
01:01:27about them again, okay?
01:01:28It's over.
01:01:30It's over.
01:01:30I'm gonna go.
01:01:36Hey, let's go.
01:01:38Okay.
01:01:49Please pull over.
01:01:51What's wrong?
01:01:53Your arm, it's bleeding.
01:01:55Didn't you notice?
01:01:55No, I didn't notice.
01:01:57It must have happened
01:01:58during the fight.
01:01:59You're unbelievable.
01:02:02It's fine.
01:02:04Just pull over right up there.
01:02:06It's fine.
01:02:06No, I'll take care of it.
01:02:07We'll stop for a bit.
01:02:08No, I'll take care of it.
01:02:20Ace, why did you cheat on me
01:02:21all those years ago?
01:02:25Why not?
01:02:25Come on.
01:02:26Tell me the truth,
01:02:27or I swear,
01:02:27I will wrap this bandage
01:02:28around your arm
01:02:29so hard you can't feel it.
01:02:30Hey, look,
01:02:38I screwed up,
01:02:39but that's in the past.
01:02:41I just want to move forward,
01:02:43okay?
01:02:44Please be honest with me.
01:02:45Do you still love me?
01:02:48Come on,
01:02:48don't try and dodge the question.
01:02:51Today,
01:02:51you could have called for backup,
01:02:52but you didn't.
01:02:53You charged right in to save me.
01:02:55If you didn't care about me,
01:02:57you wouldn't have gone
01:02:59to such extremes.
01:03:02I love you.
01:03:04Always have.
01:03:04Never stop.
01:03:05Not even for a second.
01:03:07I believe you this time.
01:03:10Let's start fresh.
01:03:12I love you, Elena.
01:03:13I've always loved you.
01:03:15Come here.
01:03:15Dude,
01:03:24you need to get
01:03:24your prosthetic leg
01:03:25checked ASAP.
01:03:26I talked to Dr. Dean,
01:03:27and he said,
01:03:28if you don't get treated soon,
01:03:29your leg may forever
01:03:30lose sensation.
01:03:37Today,
01:03:38we're here to talk about
01:03:39my healthcare reform strategy.
01:03:41You can't even handle
01:03:42your personal life.
01:03:44The news came out
01:03:45and this company's
01:03:46stock prices fell
01:03:47another five points.
01:03:49And yet,
01:03:49you still think
01:03:50you can push through reforms.
01:03:52I'm the first to object.
01:03:54Elena,
01:03:54do you know how
01:03:55the other healthcare companies
01:03:56are mocking us?
01:03:58They're saying
01:03:58that we're spineless idiots
01:03:59because we let a woman
01:04:00become the CEO.
01:04:04Uncle Houston,
01:04:06if my scandals
01:04:07are causing such problems
01:04:08for the company,
01:04:10how do you plan
01:04:10to account
01:04:11for the damages
01:04:12that your actions
01:04:13have caused?
01:04:15like hiring someone
01:04:16to kill my father.
01:04:21Like hiring someone
01:04:23to kill my father.
01:04:28That's slander.
01:04:29Your father was killed
01:04:30by an angry citizen
01:04:31who is dissatisfied
01:04:32with the current
01:04:33healthcare system.
01:04:34What does that
01:04:35have to do with me?
01:04:36kill that idiot
01:04:41Carter Pearson
01:04:42and the $5 million
01:04:43is yours.
01:04:48I testify that
01:04:49Houston Pearson
01:04:50paid me to kill
01:04:51Carter Pearson
01:04:51and then he paid me
01:04:53to try to kill
01:04:54Elena Pearson.
01:04:55I hereby declare
01:05:02that Houston Pearson
01:05:04is immediately stripped
01:05:06of all his duties
01:05:07within this group.
01:05:08You murdered my father
01:05:10and tried to kill me.
01:05:11You need to pay
01:05:12for your crimes.
01:05:14You need to pay
01:05:15for your crimes.
01:05:16Who do you think
01:05:16you are?
01:05:17Do you think you can
01:05:18kick me out of Pearson group?
01:05:20I gave everything
01:05:21to this company.
01:05:23Why should you,
01:05:24the daughter of that
01:05:25idiot Carter Pearson,
01:05:26inherit this company?
01:05:28What is wrong
01:05:29with increasing
01:05:29the claim denial rate?
01:05:31This company's profits
01:05:32doubled because
01:05:33I developed AI technology
01:05:35that increased
01:05:36our claim denial rate
01:05:37to 40%,
01:05:38the highest in the industry.
01:05:40And that old fool Carter,
01:05:43he dared to yell
01:05:43at me over this.
01:05:45He deserved to die.
01:05:46Every accomplishment
01:05:47you've made
01:05:48has been riding
01:05:50off of the coattails
01:05:51of struggling people
01:05:52and my father's life.
01:05:53And you show
01:05:54no remorse for them.
01:05:56You're a monster.
01:05:59Don't move.
01:06:03Raise your hands.
01:06:07Houston Pearson,
01:06:08you're on arrest
01:06:09for first degree murder.
01:06:20Now, does anyone else
01:06:39have anything to say?
01:06:43Great.
01:06:43All those in favor
01:06:46of implementing
01:06:47my health care reform strategy.
01:06:49Raise your hand.
01:07:08Very well.
01:07:09It seems the majority
01:07:10has voted.
01:07:11Yes.
01:07:12I declare that
01:07:13the health care reform plan
01:07:15with the slogan
01:07:16deliver,
01:07:17declare,
01:07:18and disclose
01:07:18has officially passed
01:07:21and will be implemented
01:07:22immediately.
01:07:23congratulations on the huge success
01:07:45of the health care reform.
01:07:47Bring it in, guys.
01:07:48Congrats, you two.
01:07:52Looks like you guys
01:07:53are officially back together.
01:07:55Should I be
01:07:55planning your reunion party?
01:07:57Yeah, that's enough.
01:07:58That's enough.
01:07:58Oh, Miss Pearson,
01:08:00if your father
01:08:01could see you now,
01:08:02he'd be so proud.
01:08:04Oh.
01:08:07Thank you so much, guys.
01:08:09If it hadn't been for you,
01:08:11I don't think
01:08:11my health care reform plan
01:08:13would have passed.
01:08:13especially you, Ace.
01:08:17I don't know
01:08:18what I would have done
01:08:19without you.
01:08:22Well, I'll, um,
01:08:24always be your rock.
01:08:28Cheers!
01:08:29Heck yeah.
01:08:29Hey.
01:08:43Hey.
01:08:45Were you looking for me?
01:08:47Josh is out there
01:08:48drinking like a wild animal
01:08:49and
01:08:49he's trying to make
01:08:51everyone join him.
01:08:53Oliver's keeping me an eye on him.
01:08:55I don't have any time
01:08:56to waste on that stuff.
01:08:58I guess I have to
01:09:00reserve all my energy for you.
01:09:04All right.
01:09:06Mr. Atkins,
01:09:08your duties as a bodyguard
01:09:10are officially over.
01:09:12What's next on your agenda?
01:09:14I have a few ideas.
01:09:15Yes.
01:09:15Yes.
01:09:47What's wrong?
01:09:52What's wrong?
01:09:53Nothing. Just, um...
01:09:58I don't know if we're in the right place or if it's the right time.
01:10:04What?
01:10:06After everything we've been through, Ace, I thought we were past this.
01:10:09I know, but I, uh...
01:10:11But what?
01:10:12I just, uh, I don't think we should rush into this.
01:10:19I think we should think this through, okay?
01:10:21You're a jerk.
01:10:28God, what an asshole.
01:10:32Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:10:34I don't know.
01:11:04Ace!
01:11:04It's okay.
01:11:06Ace!
01:11:06It's okay. He's dead.
01:11:08It's over.
01:11:17Oh, my God!
01:11:19Miss Pearson!
01:11:20I'm going to call an ambulance!
01:11:22Is he going to be okay, doctor?
01:11:30Doctor?
01:11:38I'll tell Elena about a...
01:11:44...my prosthetic leg.
01:11:46All right.
01:11:49I respect your wishes.
01:11:54Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:11:58His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:12:03Thank you, doctor.
01:12:03By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:12:09Okay.
01:12:09I'll go there now, then.
01:12:15Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:12:17Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:12:20According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives,
01:12:28has been involved in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.
01:12:33The killer was hired by him.
01:12:36What?
01:12:37Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:12:39Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:12:43You can rest assured that, with Houston's testimony,
01:12:46all related individuals have been arrested.
01:12:49Are you safe?
01:12:50Considering your bodyguard was injured,
01:12:53the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:12:58You can rest.
01:13:00I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:13:05Ace?
01:13:05Ace?
01:13:09Dear Elena,
01:13:18the bodyguard mission is complete,
01:13:20and you're no longer in danger,
01:13:21so it's time for me to leave.
01:13:24I just wanted to say goodbye,
01:13:25and I wish you all the best.
01:13:28Ace.
01:13:29What the hell?
01:13:31You're leaving me again?
01:13:33I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:13:39It's her.
01:14:01The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:14:03So you're a physical therapist?
01:14:08That's your daughter and husband?
01:14:09Yes.
01:14:11I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:14:14You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
01:14:18This involves Ace's privacy,
01:14:20and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:14:23But, Elena,
01:14:24I assure you,
01:14:25Ace did not betray you.
01:14:27Then why?
01:14:29Why did he lie to me,
01:14:31make me hate him,
01:14:32and break up with me?
01:14:33I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
01:14:38But I think that,
01:14:39deep down,
01:14:40Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:14:43He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:14:53Elena?
01:14:54What are you doing here?
01:14:55Josh,
01:14:55Ace isn't at the hospital,
01:14:56and he just left me a note.
01:14:58Do you know where he is?
01:14:59What?
01:15:01Does he know how important it is
01:15:02to recover properly after his surgery
01:15:04for his new prosthetic leg?
01:15:09What do you mean,
01:15:09prosthetic leg?
01:15:12Oh, man.
01:15:14I wasn't supposed to say that.
01:15:16Josh,
01:15:16what do you mean,
01:15:17prosthetic?
01:15:18All right.
01:15:20Three years ago,
01:15:22Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:15:24Your father told him
01:15:26that a disabled person
01:15:27would only burden you.
01:15:29So,
01:15:30he pretended to cheat on you
01:15:31and broke up with you.
01:15:33Later,
01:15:34after he got his prosthetic leg,
01:15:36he still felt like a disabled person.
01:15:38He thought a great girl like you
01:15:39deserved better.
01:15:41So,
01:15:42he avoided you at critical moments.
01:15:47Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:15:49He's getting his new prosthetic leg fit right now.
01:15:52Go find him later.
01:15:53Ace,
01:15:54you jerk.
01:15:55How could you keep something
01:15:56so important from me?
01:15:58This time,
01:15:59I won't let you go.
01:16:00I won't let you walk away again.
01:16:04Fortunately,
01:16:04you came in time.
01:16:06The old prosthetic
01:16:07didn't do too much damage
01:16:08to the nerves.
01:16:09With treatment,
01:16:10you should recover naturally.
01:16:12This one is
01:16:13newly made for you.
01:16:14Try it.
01:16:14Thanks.
01:16:44This is the secret
01:16:50you've been keeping from me?
01:16:53This is why
01:16:53you've been pushing me away?
01:16:55What are you doing here?
01:16:57You shouldn't be here.
01:16:58You need to leave.
01:17:02This is why
01:17:02you've been pushing me away?
01:17:06Elena,
01:17:07you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
01:17:10I need you to leave right now.
01:17:11Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:17:13Do you really think
01:17:15that little of me?
01:17:17That I'm just a shallow,
01:17:18unsupportive partner?
01:17:20How was I supposed
01:17:20to tell you this, Elena?
01:17:21How?
01:17:22I mean,
01:17:23why would a guy like me
01:17:24be able to be with
01:17:25a perfect woman like you?
01:17:29Huh?
01:17:30I mean,
01:17:30I can't even do
01:17:31half the things I was able to
01:17:32three years ago.
01:17:34I mean,
01:17:34you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:17:35I mean,
01:17:35just fucking look at me, Elena.
01:17:37I can't even stand up straight.
01:17:38But I love you.
01:17:39Ace,
01:17:42can't you see?
01:17:44No matter how you feel
01:17:46about yourself,
01:17:47I have always loved you.
01:17:49Always.
01:17:54Elena,
01:17:55come on,
01:17:55why?
01:17:56Stop pushing me away.
01:18:00Ace Atkins,
01:18:01you listen to me
01:18:02right now.
01:18:05You have left me
01:18:07so many times.
01:18:09You can't keep running from me.
01:18:12I am here to stay.
01:18:15Got it?
01:18:16I love you so much.
01:18:17I'm sorry.
01:18:19I'm sorry.
01:18:19I'm sorry.
01:18:19Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:18:39Come on,
01:18:39don't try and be tough.
01:18:41No,
01:18:41this one's
01:18:41more comfortable
01:18:43than the last one,
01:18:44actually.
01:18:45So,
01:18:45you know,
01:18:46I wouldn't blame you
01:18:47if you didn't want to
01:18:48do this.
01:18:49I'm disabled
01:18:50and
01:18:50I might
01:18:51become a burden
01:18:53to you
01:18:54when we're older.
01:18:54Have you thought about that?
01:18:57If you ever say
01:18:58something so pessimistic again,
01:19:00I will twist your ear off.
01:19:03I love Ace Atkins,
01:19:05the person,
01:19:06not the leg.
01:19:08So what if you're missing a leg?
01:19:09I will love you
01:19:10all the same.
01:19:11Would you leave me
01:19:12if I was missing a leg?
01:19:16No.
01:19:17No,
01:19:17of course not,
01:19:18I will always be
01:19:20by your side.
01:19:22Then let me
01:19:22do the same.
01:19:25I am choosing you,
01:19:27okay?
01:19:30I got it.
01:19:31Miss Pearson,
01:19:46your compensation clause
01:19:49for critical illness
01:19:50has saved
01:19:50my daughter's life.
01:19:55Miss Pearson,
01:19:56your health care reform plan
01:19:57has been a great success,
01:19:58making you the most popular
01:20:00CEO in the U.S.
01:20:01What made you insist
01:20:02on health care reform
01:20:03despite everyone's doubts?
01:20:05I was able to overcome
01:20:07many obstacles
01:20:08and achieve reform success,
01:20:10partly due to great planning,
01:20:12but also because of my
01:20:14fiance,
01:20:15Ace Atkins.
01:20:18His love helped me
01:20:19overcome all difficulties.
01:20:20Please.
01:20:36Here's the show.
