00:00:00Your deployment's tomorrow. I'm still worried. Don't worry. I'm gonna be back. I'm gonna be
00:00:22safe and sound. The first thing we're gonna do is get married. I'll be waiting.
00:00:30Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's so good to see you. So good to see you. I miss you a lot.
00:00:55I can't wait to go home together. Yeah, what are you having for dinner? I'm so sorry to interrupt,
00:01:01but have you seen Ace? He was supposed to come out with you. Ace? He's been back for a month.
00:01:06He didn't tell you. What? Call him up. You'll see. Let's go.
00:01:17Ace came back a month ago, but he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:01:22Ace. Ace, open up. I know you're in there. Ace. Ace. Ace, what are you doing?
00:01:52Who is that woman?
00:01:57Ace, open the door!
00:02:00Who the hell are you, and what do you want with Ace?
00:02:02I need to see him.
00:02:10Ace!
00:02:12Explain!
00:02:12Look, I don't know what you want me to say. It's over. I got myself a new girl. It's time for you to move on.
00:02:22What do you mean it's over? I waited for you for three years. You said we were gonna get married when you came back,
00:02:28and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:02:30I was just fooling around that whole time. I didn't mean any of it. Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally. She's the one, alright? It's not you.
00:02:39I don't believe you. No, I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face. You owe me that at least.
00:02:46That's the problem with you, isn't it? You're always demanding this, demanding that. If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy. You're a spoiled rich heiress, and no guy wants a woman like that. Can't you understand that?
00:02:57Just fuck off.
00:03:00My dad was right about you.
00:03:04I never should have fallen for you. I hate you, Ace Atkins!
00:03:18Did you really have to be so cruel? I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth. She's not gonna leave you.
00:03:27That's what I'm afraid of. I love her. She's gotta let her go.
00:03:43Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:03:57I want you to end things with Elena. The engagement is off. Take this money as your compensation.
00:04:13Mr. Pearson, I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you. Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money. All I need is a chance to talk to Elena. That's all I'm asking for.
00:04:23What can you possibly do for Elena? When you can't even stand on your own, all you'll do is break her heart.
00:04:30I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple. If you really love her, leave her alone.
00:04:35Thanks for doing this, Sally. Really appreciate it.
00:05:04We'll start physical therapy in 10 minutes. I'll go get the equipment.
00:05:13I love you, Elena. Forget about me. You'll find happiness again.
00:05:19Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare, was fatally shot by a gunman on Fifth Avenue.
00:05:32Police suspect the attack may be related to the wave of insurance policy changes that Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement.
00:05:38For now, the gunman remains at large, while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, is set to take over as CEO.
00:05:44Clean that up.
00:05:56Good morning, gentlemen. I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:06:08I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:06:12The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage and to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
00:06:20The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage and to make sure all patients receive fair insurance coverage and to make sure all patients receive fair insurance.
00:06:27You're giving away our profits to these poor people. I reject it.
00:06:31Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies have led to my father's death.
00:06:35My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:06:38No matter what you say, I will never, ever change my mind.
00:06:43Oh, really? You think you can control the entire group?
00:06:48I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:06:52I'm not the only one against thisstepper.
00:07:03Now you'll beidar to establish fair compliance to yourself.
00:07:08It's aĆculos who have decided to restore their fuzzy suit.
00:07:14You'll befriend your friend for the missing cmes.
00:07:17Enough!
00:07:18Buyless to our Hangouts!
00:07:20While soprattutto Germany has been given the ģ ģ“ to us or not.
00:07:21Looks like y'all need some more training still.
00:07:38Got a long way to go.
00:07:42Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform, or will she be next
00:07:46on the assassin's list?
00:07:49Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:52Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:07:55You could totally assign someone else to handle Elena's case.
00:07:58So you heard the news too, huh?
00:08:00I think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh.
00:08:04I'll handle it.
00:08:13Elena, today you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:08:20We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.
00:08:23Simple as that.
00:08:24Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:08:27Have you lost your mind?
00:08:39Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:08:41No one here will testify against me.
00:08:43Just sign the damn paper.
00:08:45Are you all going to let him do this?
00:08:47Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those lowlifes.
00:08:51Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:08:53Let's go, guys.
00:09:01Come on.
00:09:10Get your hands off of her.
00:09:16No way.
00:09:19That voice.
00:09:20It can't be him.
00:09:23It can't be him.
00:09:25You can't!
00:09:25Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:09:39I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:09:41It's been three years.
00:09:43I've missed you, Elena.
00:09:45You're my what?
00:09:46Jesus, Elena.
00:09:47Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:09:50Stupid or something?
00:09:51You insult my boss again.
00:09:56You're going to be the one that needs some fucking health care.
00:09:59Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:10:06Leave or you're fired.
00:10:08I don't give a shit.
00:10:08You're my uncle.
00:10:10There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena, and that's to get rid of them.
00:10:14Just like I got rid of your father.
00:10:16What are you doing here?
00:10:22No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:10:27Miss Pearson.
00:10:29Mr. Atkins.
00:10:31I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:10:33Miss.
00:10:34Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.
00:10:40Now, as for the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:10:50No.
00:10:52I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:56I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:58Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.
00:11:02Anyone but him.
00:11:03Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:11:05With him around, your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:11:11Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute?
00:11:13I need to talk to him.
00:11:15Yes, ma'am.
00:11:19Ace, what are you doing here?
00:11:21I was just making sure that you're safe.
00:11:23Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now and, uh, well, I was worried about you.
00:11:30We broke up three years ago.
00:11:31You cheated on me.
00:11:32You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:11:34The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:11:40The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:11:44No, go.
00:11:44I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:11:50Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:11:56Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:11:59Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:12:01You're delusional.
00:12:03Elena.
00:12:04The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.
00:12:13Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:12:18Let go.
00:12:23Take me home.
00:12:28Elena.
00:12:28You broke my heart.
00:12:35Now you come back into my life like it's nothing.
00:12:43That's odd.
00:12:44I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:12:47Someone broke in.
00:12:55The killer?
00:12:56The killer?
00:12:56The killer?

00:16:04No, no
00:16:06Ace cut himself and I was just helping him dress the wound
00:16:14Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up. Great.
00:16:18Wait, he's not staying with me.
00:16:21Yes, Miss Pearson, of course.
00:16:24That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:16:28The contract clearly states that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7 to ensure your safety.
00:16:37Oliver, it's not just about the contract. I can't...
00:16:41I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:16:46You must understand.
00:16:48You might very well be the next target.
00:16:52If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:16:59Fine.
00:17:01Oliver, you win.
00:17:03Brilliant.
00:17:05Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:17:12I would take a bullet for her.
00:17:17You're the first door on the left. You can stay there.
00:17:33I'll wait, Atkins.
00:17:35Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:17:38We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:17:41Now, if you're going to be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries.
00:17:45So, here's how it's going to go.
00:17:47You are going to do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm going to live my life.
00:17:51Nothing else.
00:17:53Is that clear?
00:17:55Crystal.
00:17:56I've been unpacking myself.
00:18:00Is this his wallet?
00:18:14You said you never loved me, so why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?
00:18:29I checked the house. It's all clear. Safe to sleep.
00:18:40Great. Thanks.
00:18:42I'm going to go to bed now.
00:18:59Have a seat.
00:19:11We'll be at you now.
00:19:22Just hand me that towel.
00:19:39It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:19:47Be professional. I'm still your boss, remember?
00:19:52Yes, ma'am.
00:20:17You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:19And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:25Ace, I have some scar cream for you.
00:20:27Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:20:31Hey, what's up?
00:20:33Hey, Ace, I have some scar cream for you.
00:20:37Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:20:39Hey, what's up?
00:20:41Hey.
00:20:43Just have something for the scars. I can put it on.
00:20:53Okay.
00:20:57I'm surprised that you still, uh...
00:20:59show this much care for me still.
00:21:03Get out for yourself.
00:21:05I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:21:09Why not calm yourself?
00:21:11He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:21:13Okay.
00:21:15Hold on.
00:21:16Okay.
00:21:17Okay.
00:21:18What is with you and this blanket?
00:21:19I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:21:21I think it's fine.
00:21:23I'm just sitting.
00:21:24Just sitting.
00:21:25That's how I sit.
00:21:26I call BS.
00:21:27Let me get you in the leg.
00:21:28I think it's fine.
00:21:30I'm just sitting.
00:21:31That's how I sit.
00:21:32I call BS.
00:21:33Let me get you in the leg.
00:21:34I think it's fine.
00:21:35I'm just sitting.
00:21:36That's how I sit.
00:21:37What if I'm calm?
00:21:38I'm...
00:21:39I don't know.
00:21:40What if I'm calm?
00:21:58I don't know.
00:22:05What if I'm, uh, hiding something under there?
00:22:09Maybe I'm hiding the owner to see it.
00:22:22You're not my boyfriend anymore. You're my bodyguard.
00:22:25You should keep things professional.
00:22:29Good night.
00:22:33Good night.
00:22:35You're right, Elena.
00:22:39I'm just your bodyguard.
00:22:50Elena, I want you to put this on. It's lightweight. You won't even feel it.
00:22:55I'm not wearing that.
00:22:57You can either do it yourself, or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:23:01And I can do it.
00:23:02And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:23:04Look, I can do it myself.
00:23:13May I?
00:23:14Got it.
00:23:15Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:23:36Too excited.
00:23:38Yeah.
00:23:41Okay. Uh, I have to go. I'm late for work.
00:23:44Yes, ma'am.
00:23:50I'm assuming that assassination didn't go as planned?
00:23:53An idiot calls himself a hitman he can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:23:58Chad, I'm leaving this to you. Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb, and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:24:05Consider it done.
00:24:06Consider it done.
00:24:13Jesus, Chad, how many times have I told you to knock?
00:24:17What do you want?
00:24:17You owe me dinner, remember?
00:24:20I remember.
00:24:22But I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral, so can we take a brain check?
00:24:27Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:24:28You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:24:32This is how people get burned down.
00:24:33You need to take some time off to relax.
00:24:43Yeah.
00:24:45You know what?
00:24:46Let's do dinner.
00:24:47Sir, this is a table for two.
00:25:10Why don't you go sit over there?
00:25:17I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:25:35I've got to keep the tight perimeter around her at all times, but thanks for checking in.
00:25:47Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:25:50You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:25:52Go ahead.
00:25:5782 Lafite.
00:25:59Your favorite.
00:26:00I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:26:03Here, have a taste.
00:26:08Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:26:11I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:26:14Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for
00:26:20you to be drinking on the job now.
00:26:25My apologies.
00:26:28Elena.
00:26:32I know how tough it's been for you, and I want you to know that I'm here for you.
00:26:38Always.
00:26:39And that my heart belongs to you.
00:26:44Um, sorry, Chad, I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:26:49Um, can we eat?
00:26:52I'm starving.
00:26:53Yeah.
00:26:54Sam.
00:26:56The mango fell.
00:27:01Oh, hey, Sam, sorry about that.
00:27:04She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:27:06You mind bringing out another play without him?
00:27:08He still remembers?
00:27:10I'll see what I can do about that.
00:27:15Wait, didn't he...
00:27:17You two just meet?
00:27:18How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:21How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:25Well, we actually go way back.
00:27:27And I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference on mangoes.
00:27:30He's my bodyguard.
00:27:31Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know.
00:27:35I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:27:36Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:27:44What was that tonight?
00:28:10If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:28:15Maybe you're just seeing things the way you want to see them.
00:28:19You ever think about that?
00:28:21How could I forget?
00:28:23Right, you shattered my heart.
00:28:27Save it.
00:28:28Just go home.
00:28:30My funeral preparation's to make anyway.
00:28:32Okay.
00:28:36I'm sorry, Elena.
00:28:37I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:28:41I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:28:47Elena!
00:28:49Elena?
00:28:50Dad!
00:28:51You're back!
00:28:52What's going on?
00:29:08I'm here.
00:29:08Please.
00:29:10It's fine.
00:29:11I'm here with you, okay?
00:29:12You're safe.
00:29:14I had a dream about my dad.
00:29:16One second he was smiling at me, and then the next.
00:29:30I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:29:34Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:29:37You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:29:49And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:29:53Besides, I'm going to be right here the whole time supporting you.
00:29:56Protecting you.
00:29:59Protecting me?
00:30:00Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:30:08Look.
00:30:09A relationship that is in the past.
00:30:13But I would protect you with my life.
00:30:15I'd die for you.
00:30:18I need you to understand that.
00:30:21So you would die for me, but you won't love me.
00:30:24So you would die for me, but you won't love me.
00:30:33Stay with me.
00:30:59So you wanted to keep things for visual.
00:31:03You're my bodyguard.
00:31:06And I'm scared.
00:31:10Stay with me.
00:31:12So I can feel safe.
00:31:30If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:31:33What are we doing here?
00:31:41I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:31:44You know, just in case.
00:31:46Always got to be prepared.
00:31:48What I mean is, in case I die first and you're still in danger,
00:31:52you can fight your way out.
00:31:57First case scenario.
00:31:58What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:32:07No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:32:17Try putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.
00:32:22That one there.
00:32:24And down there.
00:32:26Push as hard as you can.
00:32:27All right.
00:32:33All right.
00:32:33Nice.
00:32:37All right.
00:32:38Second scenario.
00:32:41What if somebody...
00:32:43Had you like this?
00:32:46It's just self-defense training.
00:32:59Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:33:01What's your move?
00:33:02Um, I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:33:10Like, stomping on the...
00:33:11Very nice.
00:33:16You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:33:18Okay.
00:33:20Third scenario.
00:33:21You ready?
00:33:22All right.
00:33:26What?
00:33:31Someone's got you like this.
00:33:33It starts choking you.
00:33:36Um...
00:33:37You gotta be quick.
00:33:38Like this?
00:33:41Use your hips.
00:33:43What?
00:33:44Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:33:47As hard as you can.
00:33:47Ace, are you okay?
00:33:54Did I hurt your leg?
00:33:55No.
00:33:55What does that sound?
00:34:01It didn't hurt my leg.
00:34:03It's fine.
00:34:03That was a good job.
00:34:05No, you're hurt.
00:34:07Let me...
00:34:07Fine.
00:34:08That was good work, though.
00:34:09Seriously.
00:34:10Ace, new security equipment just arrived.
00:34:13Can you come check it out?
00:34:14Yeah, sure.
00:34:14Thanks, Josh.
00:34:16Good job today.
00:34:18Seriously.
00:34:25That sound was weird.
00:34:31Ace is hiding something from me.
00:34:35Hi.
00:34:36Alina, right?
00:34:37I'm Josh.
00:34:39I used to serve with Ace in the military,
00:34:41but now we're colleagues.
00:34:43She talks about you a lot.
00:34:44Hi, Josh.
00:34:45I'm sorry.
00:34:48Can I ask...
00:34:48Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:34:55Uh-huh?
00:34:56Leg?
00:34:56No.
00:34:58Not that I know of.
00:34:59You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:35:02Everyone here knows that there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:35:07And that person is you, Alina.
00:35:11You're mistaken.
00:35:12He...
00:35:13He doesn't love me.
00:35:15At all.
00:35:15If you knew him,
00:35:16then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:35:19You know,
00:35:20I might be just an outsider,
00:35:22but
00:35:22I know Ace.
00:35:24Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:35:26What does that even mean?
00:35:38Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:35:41Everything looks great.
00:35:42Okay.
00:35:46Ace.
00:35:48Alina asked about your leg.
00:35:52What'd you say?
00:35:52What'd you say?
00:35:57Don't worry.
00:35:58I'd say worry.
00:36:00But
00:36:00honestly, man,
00:36:02I think she still cares about you.
00:36:04Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:36:05I appreciate your input, Josh,
00:36:07but I think I know what's best for Alina and I...
00:36:10Might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:36:12It's overdue for a replacement.
00:36:14If you keep stalling,
00:36:15you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:36:16You know that a new prosthetic
00:36:19would take about three weeks.
00:36:21I'm still on the job.
00:36:22I can't leave Alina alone.
00:36:23I think that would be very, uh,
00:36:25irresponsible of me,
00:36:26don't you think, Josh?
00:36:27Man,
00:36:28you're in hell romantic.
00:36:29You know that?
00:36:30Yeah, well,
00:36:31that makes one of us.
00:36:32Why don't you
00:36:32get the hell out of here, all right?
00:36:33All right.
00:36:33All right.
00:36:33All right.
00:36:33All right.
00:36:35All right.
00:36:37All right.
00:36:38All right.
00:36:46Almighty God,
00:36:50in your mercy,
00:36:51turn the darkness of death
00:36:52into the dawn of new life
00:36:54and the sorrow of parting
00:36:56into the joy of heaven
00:36:58through our Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:37:01who died,
00:37:02rose again,
00:37:03and lives forevermore.
00:37:05Amen.
00:37:10My deepest condolences.
00:37:13May your father rest in peace.
00:37:15Your father knew
00:37:16that to a reckless reform
00:37:17to be tearing his company apart,
00:37:19he would never rest in peace.
00:37:21He was your brother.
00:37:23If you had even a shred
00:37:24of affection for him,
00:37:25you would never say something
00:37:26like that at his funeral.
00:37:28You know, Uncle Houston,
00:37:29I've always wondered,
00:37:30you've been far angrier
00:37:32about the healthcare reforms
00:37:33than my own father's murder.
00:37:35Could it be that you had something
00:37:36to do with his death?
00:37:37That is outrageous slander.
00:37:42How dare you accuse me
00:37:43of murdering my brother
00:37:44at his funeral?
00:37:54Sorry for your loss.
00:38:07It's enough.
00:38:29This was my father's favorite.
00:38:37I got it for him
00:38:38for his birthday,
00:38:39but he didn't even get
00:38:40a chance to drink it.
00:38:52Right here.
00:38:54Not going anywhere.
00:38:55Can you promise
00:39:16you won't leave me again?
00:39:18I promise.
00:39:21I'll never leave you again.
00:39:22Josh said that there's
00:39:24someone in your heart.
00:39:27Someone that you can't forget.
00:39:29Is that someone me?
00:39:34Tell me, Ace.
00:39:42Yes.
00:39:44That someone is you.
00:39:46And it always has been.
00:39:47If you love me,
00:39:48then why did you break up with me?
00:39:50Look, it's been a long day.
00:39:51I don't think
00:39:52we should talk about it.
00:39:56I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:39:57You did hurt me.
00:40:00Three years ago,
00:40:01I waited for you
00:40:03to come back and marry me.
00:40:04And then you left me
00:40:05for another woman.
00:40:07You broke my heart.
00:40:09And then you just
00:40:10walked back in my life
00:40:11like nothing happened.
00:40:12Just stop.
00:40:14No.
00:40:21No.
00:40:29Let's go.
00:40:31Oh my god, I drank too much.
00:40:57Can we sleep together?
00:41:01Hungry?
00:41:03I had your breakfast.
00:41:06Last night, we...
00:41:10You were drunk.
00:41:12Very drunk.
00:41:13Took care of you.
00:41:14That was it.
00:41:15He's not gonna mention the kiss?
00:41:18Jerk.
00:41:20Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:41:31You've been far angrier about the healthcare reforms than my own father's murder.
00:41:40Haven't you dealt with that bitch, Elena, yet?
00:41:43She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:41:46She's hard to handle.
00:41:48A bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her.
00:41:51I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:41:53This will not do.
00:41:55She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:41:58Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:42:01If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:42:05What do you want me to do?
00:42:07The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:42:10Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board.
00:42:13What you're going to do is invite her to go as your date,
00:42:16and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:42:18Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:42:21We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from her form.
00:42:26Kill two birds with one stone. I like that.
00:42:28Exactly.
00:42:29The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:42:32There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:42:35Elena, I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:42:48I told you, Mr. Vegas would be chasing this person.
00:42:51He's bad for ages. His persistence is kind of impressive.
00:42:54Um, Chad, I...
00:43:03Elena, trust me.
00:43:05I can help you win over a couple more board members for the healthcare reform plan.
00:43:13Yeah.
00:43:14Yes, I would love to go to dinner.
00:43:17Great. See you later.
00:43:24How do I look?
00:43:39You look beautiful.
00:43:41You know, I don't know if you have to dress so...formally.
00:43:45What, are you jealous?
00:43:47I just don't think that that guy...deserves...
00:43:53all of this.
00:44:00Oh, speak of the double.
00:44:03Beautiful.
00:44:04Elena, we should get going. We're gonna be late.
00:44:07And, uh, Ace.
00:44:09Remember your place. Okay, there, sport?
00:44:12You're the bodyguard.
00:44:15So make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:44:23Thanks for joining us.
00:44:25We'll be right down.
00:44:26We'll be right down.
00:44:29We'll be right out.
00:44:30Thanks you.
00:44:31Come in here.
00:44:32But we'll be right down.
00:44:33Okay.
00:44:34We'll be right down.
00:44:36losses. But I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks. Forget about that
00:44:44for a moment. What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten. Given the company's
00:44:51current PR crisis, announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image. Elena, Chad
00:44:58seems like an excellent match. Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken. Chad and I are-
00:45:04Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:45:10Our company has faced challenges recently, but on this special night, our new CEO, Ms. Elena Pearson,
00:45:21would like to say a few words.
00:45:26Before Ms. Pearson says anything, I have a surprise for her.
00:45:34I have a surprise for her. Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:45:52Will you marry me?
00:45:53Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!
00:46:05Chad, stand up. What are you doing? I don't know.
00:46:09Come on, let's go. We're leaving.
00:46:11I don't know.
00:46:27What the hell are you doing? Storming out like that in front of all those guests, you've realized how
00:46:33bad you're making the company's image look. Oh, really? So what, you're gonna just marry that guy
00:46:38to save the company's image? That's ridiculous. Who I marry is none of your business. We're over,
00:46:44Ace. You're just my bodyguard. You don't get to interfere with my life. You don't mean that.
00:46:49You don't love that guy. You barely fucking know him. Who I love is none of your concern.
00:46:56Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins, when you push me away over and over again.
00:47:01Even if I had said yes to Chad's proposal, you would have nothing to do with it and you couldn't stop me.
00:47:15Elena! Elena, where are you?
00:47:20Elena, are you in there?
00:47:26Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:47:28Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:47:33I'll be out in a minute.
00:47:57Are you sure you're okay?
00:48:03Yeah, I'm fine. Just, just go.
00:48:14Ace, you're a bastard.
00:48:25Okay, all right. I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:48:28Oh, and you do?
00:48:30You abandoned me. We were supposed to get married.
00:48:34You have no right to say that to me.
00:48:37What do you think's going on here? Do you think that I don't love you? I mean,
00:48:42do you have any fucking idea?
00:48:43Elena! Who's in there with you?
00:48:45How much what? What are you saying?
00:48:50How much, how much what? What are you saying?
00:48:53Elena!
00:48:55What do you think?
00:49:00What are you two doing in here?
00:49:02I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:49:05You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:49:09Proposing in front of everyone? What? Have you lost your mind?
00:49:12Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long, and you've never rejected me. So that has to mean
00:49:19that you feel the same way.
00:49:20What? I haven't said anything. You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:49:25What's the difference, hmm? Everybody already thinks that you're my fiance now.
00:49:30Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me. It's only natural for us to be together.
00:49:35Hey, don't step closer.
00:49:37And who the hell are you? You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:49:42Don't think I don't see what's happening. Acting all on your high horse, but deep down,
00:49:47you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:49:49Oh!
00:49:57Bravo! Bravo! You two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
00:50:00Hey, this must be nice, huh? Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:50:05Shut the fuck up.
00:50:05Is the matter, you struck a nerve? Elena, you have the audacity to accuse me of damaging the company?
00:50:15Take a look in the mirror. You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:50:19You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.
00:50:26You see that girl right there? There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:50:30You're not going to disrespect her. You show face around here again,
00:50:32I'm going to fucking kill her. Do you understand? Do you understand?
00:50:34You, you left me?
00:50:51Did you mean what you said?
00:50:54Please just tell me the truth. That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:50:59No, Elena. I can't be with you. I'm just a man with a prosthetic. I'm not whole.
00:51:07I'll never be enough for you. I was just impulsive. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
00:51:13You're lying. You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:51:18You'd risk your life for me. You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:51:22That is not just a bodyguard doing his job. That is something more and you know it.
00:51:26Moments ago, right here, you said that you loved me more than anyone else in the world, Ace.
00:51:35Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:51:38Elena, look.
00:51:44Look.
00:51:46I'm here to guard you. I'm your bodyguard.
00:51:51I shouldn't have crossed the line. I'm sorry.
00:51:53No. Let's go.
00:51:57Stay away for a night.
00:51:59Elena.
00:52:02I'm sorry, Elena. I can't hold you back. You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:52:08I can't handle one woman. Absolutely useless.
00:52:17That bitch has been screwed everybody on the whole damn time. What do you want me to do?
00:52:21That pathetic freaking loser.
00:52:25I'm gonna kill him.
00:52:25It's only a matter of time.
00:52:28If that's the case, there's only one option left.
00:52:33We want Pearson Group. We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:52:37Just like we did her father.
00:52:39You think you can fix everything with these little tricks won't work, Ace?
00:52:56It's your favorite.
00:52:58French toast.
00:53:00Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:53:03I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.
00:53:08Oliver, what are you doing here?
00:53:25This is a signed first edition.
00:53:30Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that down for you.
00:53:36And while you were at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:53:50Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
00:53:57I just want you to be happy, Elena.
00:54:01Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:54:04You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
00:54:08But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
00:54:14It wasn't your fault.
00:54:15None of it was.
00:54:18It was mine.
00:54:20Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:25Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:28Go make me a coffee. I have a meeting soon.
00:54:38Ms. Pearson, if I may say, Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply. And from the way you look at him, it's clear you feel the same way. So why not just be together?
00:54:54Oliver, you don't understand. Every time I take a step forward, he takes two steps back.
00:55:00It's not that simple.
00:55:02Well, then maybe you should take the lead. Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:55:10Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?
00:55:15You don't know what to do, huh?
00:55:19Maybe.
00:55:30Maybe you should take the lead.
00:55:35The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle and he loved it.
00:55:39Ace, stay here. I have a surprise for you.
00:55:46All right, and your order will be delivered tonight.
00:55:49Thank you so much. Thank you for shopping with us, Ms. Pearson.
00:55:59Do you know what to do?
00:56:00You're welcome.
00:56:01Let's go ahead and see you.
00:56:05I'm sorry!
00:56:35Josh. Josh! Melinda's been taking. Activate the tracking system. Get the cops involved. I'm going after her.
00:57:05Who are you? Look at this. It's about the company's healthcare reforms that I promised you. I'm proposing a new plan. It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me. Shut your mouth. This isn't about healthcare. You got it all wrong. What? My uncle hired you? He paid you to kill my dad?
00:57:32Ding, ding, ding, ding. Took you long enough to figure out. Daddy's little girl is so clever. Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head.
00:57:45Okay, I'll sign. But you have to let me go after. Good. Sign it. Then you're free to go. He's lying. As soon as I sign, he'll kill me. Think, Elena. Think.
00:57:59Hurry up. Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
00:58:09No, I don't want to die. Please, Ace, save me.
00:58:21Now that this job is completed, I can never have to worry about money ever again.
00:58:31Good job.
00:58:32Drop your weapon or I'll blow her brains out.
00:58:54Ace, don't do it.
00:58:56Drop your weapon.
00:58:57Good job. Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:59:07Go ahead.
00:59:21No.
00:59:21No.

01:11:33Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:11:37His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:11:42Thank you, doctor.
01:11:44By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:11:48Okay, I'll go there now then.
01:11:49I'll go there now.
01:12:19I'll go. We apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:12:22You can rest assured that with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.
01:12:28Are you safe?
01:12:30Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:12:37You can rest.
01:12:39I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:12:44Ace?
01:12:49Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete, and you're no longer in danger, so it's time for me to leave.
01:13:03I just wanted to say goodbye, and I wish you all the best.
01:13:07Ace.
01:13:07Ace.
01:13:07Ace.
01:13:08What the hell?
01:13:10You're leaving me again?
01:13:12I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:13:14It's her.
01:13:40The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:13:42So you're a physical therapist?
01:13:46That's your daughter and husband?
01:13:48Yes.
01:13:50I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:13:53You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
01:13:57This involves Ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:14:02But Alina, I assure you, Ace did not betray you.
01:14:06Then why?
01:14:07Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?
01:14:12I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
01:14:17But I think that deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:14:22He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:14:24Alina, what are you doing here?
01:14:33Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital, and he just left me a note.
01:14:36Do you know where he is?
01:14:38What?
01:14:40Does he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:14:44What do you mean prosthetic leg?
01:14:51Oh, man.
01:14:53I wasn't supposed to say that.
01:14:54Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
01:14:57All right.
01:14:57Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:15:03Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.
01:15:07So, he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
01:15:12Later, after you got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.
01:15:16He thought a great girl like you deserved better.
01:15:19So, he avoided you at critical moments.
01:15:22Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:15:28He's getting his new prosthetic leg fit right now.
01:15:30Let's go find him, Alina.
01:15:32Ace, you jerk.
01:15:34How could you keep something so important from me?
01:15:37This time, I won't let you go.
01:15:38I won't let you walk away again.
01:15:42Fortunately, you came in time.
01:15:44The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
01:15:47With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:15:49This one is newly made for you, right?
01:15:53Thanks.
01:16:19This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:16:31This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:16:34What are you doing here?
01:16:35You shouldn't be here.
01:16:36You need to leave.
01:16:40This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:16:44Alina, you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
01:16:48I need you to leave right now.
01:16:49Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:16:52Do you really think that little of me?
01:16:55That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
01:16:58How was I supposed to tell you this, Alina?
01:16:59How...
01:17:00I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:17:07Huh?
01:17:08I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.
01:17:12I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:17:13I mean, just fucking look at me, Alina.
01:17:15Alina, I can't even stand up straight.
01:17:16But I love you.
01:17:20Alina, can't you see?
01:17:23No matter how you feel about yourself,
01:17:25I have always loved you.
01:17:27Always.
01:17:33Alina, come on.
01:17:33Why?
01:17:34Just stop pushing me away.
01:17:38Ace Atkins, you listen to me right now.
01:17:43You have left me so many times.
01:17:47You can't keep running from me.
01:17:50I am here to stay.
01:17:53Got it?
01:17:54I love you so much.
01:17:56I'm sorry.
01:17:56I'm sorry.
01:18:15Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:18:17Come on, don't try and be tough.
01:18:18No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:18:23So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
01:18:27I'm disabled and I might become a burden to you when we're older.
01:18:32Have you thought about that?
01:18:33If you ever say something so pessimistic again,
01:18:38I will twist your ear off.
01:18:41I love Ace Atkins.
01:18:43The person, not the leg.
01:18:46So what if you're missing a leg?
01:18:47I will love you all the same.
01:18:49Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:18:54No.
01:18:55No, of course not.
01:18:57I'll always be by your side.
01:19:00Then let me do the same.
01:19:01I am choosing you, okay?
01:19:08Got it.
01:19:22Miss Pearson.
01:19:24Your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life.
01:19:31Miss Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success,
01:19:35making you the most popular CEO in the U.S.
01:19:38What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:19:42I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success,
01:19:47partly due to great planning,
01:19:49but also because of my fiancƩ, Ace Atkins.
01:19:53His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
01:19:57His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
01:20:01I'll see you next time.
01:20:05First time at theagneering
01:20:06What made youé destroyer?
01:20:06I'll see you next time.
01:20:08I will see you next time.
