00:00:00Your deployment's tomorrow. I'm still worried. Don't worry. I'm gonna be back. I'm gonna be safe
00:00:23and 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, we're here 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.
00:01:14Ace came back a month ago, but he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:01:27Ace, open up. I know you're in there. Ace! Ace!
00:01:32Ace, what are you doing? Who is that woman?
00:01:58Ace, open the door!
00:01:59Who the hell are you, and what do you want with Ace?
00:02:03I need to see him.
00:02:10Ace!
00:02:12Explain!
00:02:13Look, I don't know what you want me to say. I...
00:02:15It's over.
00:02:18I got myself a new girl. It's time for you to move on.
00:02:22What do you mean it's over?
00:02:23I waited for you for three years. You said we were going to get married when you came back,
00:02:28and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:02:31I was just fooling around that whole time. I didn't mean any of it.
00:02:35Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally. She's the one, all right? It's not you.
00:02:40I don't believe you.
00:02:42No, 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?
00:02:47You're always demanding this, demanding that. If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy.
00:02:51You're a spoiled, rich heiress, and no guy wants a woman like that. Can't you understand that?
00:02:58Just fuck off.
00:03:01My dad was right about you.
00:03:04I never should have fallen for you. I hate you, Ace Atkins!
00:03:07Did you really have to be so cruel? I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth.
00:03:23She's not going to leave you.
00:03:33That's what I'm afraid of.
00:03:35I love her.
00:03:36She's got to let her go.
00:03:43Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:03:44I want you to end things with Elena.
00:04:07Elena, 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.
00:04:18Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money.
00:04:21All I need is a chance to talk to Elena. That's all I'm asking for.
00:04:24What can you possibly do for Elena when you can't even stand on your own?
00:04:28All you'll do is break her heart.
00:04:31I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:04:34If you really love her, leave her alone.
00:04:36Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:04:50Thanks for doing this, Sally. I really appreciate it.
00:05:05We'll start physical therapy in 10 minutes. I'll go get the equipment.
00:05:11I love you, Elena.
00:05:17Forget about me.
00:05:18You'll find happiness again.
00:05:20Early 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.
00:05:39For now, the gunman remains at large, while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, is set to take over as CEO.
00:05:50Clean that up.
00:06:04Good morning, gentlemen. I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:06:09I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:06:13The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage
00:06:18and to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
00:06:22My plan...
00:06:26To hell with your shit plan.
00:06:28You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:06:31I reject it.
00:06:32Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies have led to my father's death.
00:06:37My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:06:40No matter what you say, I will never, ever change my mind.
00:06:45Really?
00:06:45You think you can control the entire group?
00:06:50I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:06:54Good night.
00:06:59Good night.
00:07:08What about you?
00:07:08Good night.
00:07:11Good night.
00:07:15Good night.
00:07:15Good night.
00:07:18Good night.
00:07:18Good morning.
00:07:20Sabina.
00:07:20Good night.
00:07:21Good night.
00:07:22Looks like you all need some more training still.
00:07:39Got a long way to go.
00:07:43Will the health care heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform, or will she be next
00:07:47on the assassin's list?
00:07:48Hey, Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:53Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:07:56You could totally assign someone else to handle Elena's case.
00:07:59So you heard the news, too, huh?
00:08:00I don't think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh.
00:08:05I'll handle it.
00:08:06Elena, today, you're going to follow my plan to increase health care prices.
00:08:21We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.
00:08:24Simple as that.
00:08:25Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:08:27Have you lost your mind?
00:08:40Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:08:42No one here will testify against me.
00:08:44Just sign the damn paper.
00:08:46Are you all going to let him do this?
00:08:48Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those lowlifes.
00:08:52Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:08:54Let's go, guys. Come on.
00:09:16Get your hands off of her.
00:09:19No way.
00:09:19That voice, it can't be him.
00:09:24It can't be him.
00:09:26Yeah!
00:09:35Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:09:40I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:09:42It's been three years.
00:09:44I've missed you, Elena.
00:09:46You're my what?
00:09:47Jesus, Elena.
00:09:48Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:09:51You stupid or something.
00:09:52You stupid.
00:09:54You insult my boss again.
00:09:57You're going to be the one that needs some fucking health care.
00:10:00Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:10:07Look, leave.
00:10:08Or you're fired.
00:10:09I don't give a shit you're my uncle.
00:10:11There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena.
00:10:13And that's to get rid of them.
00:10:15Just like I got rid of your father.
00:10:17What are you doing here?
00:10:23No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:10:28Well, Miss Pearson, Mr. Atkins.
00:10:31I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:10:34Miss, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.
00:10:41Now, as for the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:10:50No.
00:10:51I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:57I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:59Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.
00:11:03Anyone but him.
00:11:04Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:11:07With him around, you're...
00:11:09Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute?
00:11:11I need to talk to him.
00:11:13Yes, ma'am.
00:11:17Ace, what are you doing here?
00:11:18I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:11:21Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now, and, uh, well...
00:11:25I was worried about you.
00:11:28We broke up three years ago.
00:11:29You cheated on me.
00:11:30You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:11:33The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:11:38The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:11:42Now, go.
00:11:42I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:11:48Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:11:54Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:11:57Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:11:59You're delusional.
00:12:01Elena.
00:12:02The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.
00:12:11Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:12:17Let go.
00:12:21Take me home.
00:12:26Elena!
00:12:27Asshole.
00:12:32You broke my heart.
00:12:33Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:12:41That's odd.
00:12:43I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:12:52Someone broke in.
00:12:53The killer?
00:12:54The killer?
00:12:54The killer?
00:12:57Why so surprised, princess?
00:13:19Didn't you know you were going to be next?
00:13:21No.
00:13:25I don't want to die, please.
00:13:26Someone help me.
00:13:27Okay.
00:13:27No!
00:13:29I don't want to die, please.
00:13:30Someone help me.
00:13:31No!
00:13:40He's so good.
00:14:10I thought I was gonna die.
00:14:13I'm gonna die. You're safe.
00:14:15You're hurt. You're all right.
00:14:17You saved me.
00:14:20Mace.
00:14:23You're bleeding.
00:14:28He might be an asshole, but damn.
00:14:30He's even harder than he used to be.
00:14:33He's still got that same glow.
00:14:35God, I missed her.
00:14:38Do you remember the last time we, uh,
00:14:41in the bathroom?
00:14:43He's harder.
00:14:56Yes, ma'am.
00:14:58That guy got you in the leg too, right?
00:15:05I should wrap that up.
00:15:08He tried to stab me in the leg and he missed.
00:15:12It's fine.
00:15:13I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:15:17Yes, is there something wrong?
00:15:21It's fine.
00:15:22Okay.
00:15:23What?
00:15:24It's fine.
00:15:26Oh.
00:15:56Oh, my...
00:16:00Am I interrupting?
00:16:02No, no.
00:16:04Ace cut himself and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:16:12Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up. Great.
00:16:16Wait, he's not staying with me.
00:16:19Yes, Miss Pearson, of course.
00:16:22That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:16:26The contract clearly states that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7 to ensure your safety.
00:16:35Oliver, it's not just about the contract. I can't...
00:16:39I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:16:44You must understand.
00:16:46You might very well be the next target.
00:16:50If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:16:57Okay, fine.
00:16:59Oliver, you win.
00:17:01Brilliant.
00:17:03Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:17:10I would take a bullet for her.
00:17:15You're the first door on the left. You can stay there.
00:17:19I'll lay next.
00:17:20Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:17:23We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:17:38Now, if you're going to be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries.
00:17:44So, here's how it's going to go.
00:17:45You are going to do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm going to live my life.
00:17:50Nothing else.
00:17:51Is that clear?
00:17:53Crystal.
00:17:55I'll go unpack this.
00:17:56I'll go unpack this.
00:17:57Is this his wallet?
00:18:10You said you never left me, so why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?
00:18:26I checked the house. It's all clear. Safe to sleep.
00:18:38Great. Thanks. I'm going to go to bed now.
00:18:56I'm sorry. I thought you were in danger.
00:19:19Just hand me that towel.
00:19:26It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:19:43Be professional. I'm still your boss, remember?
00:19:49Yes, ma'am.
00:19:55You've changed a lot, Elena. And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:22Hey, so I have some scar cream for you.
00:20:39Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:20:46Hey, what's up?
00:20:48Hey.
00:20:49Hey.
00:20:50Just have something for the scars. I can put it on.
00:20:56Good.
00:20:58I'm surprised that you still want to show this much care for me still.
00:21:15Get out for yourself.
00:21:16Get out for yourself.
00:21:17I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:21:20Elena, calm yourself. He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:21:25Okay.
00:21:26Okay.
00:21:27Hold on.
00:21:29Hey, what is with you and this blanket? I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:21:44I think it's fine. Just sitting. It's how I sit.
00:21:49I call BS. Let me see it.
00:21:51What if I'm hiding something under there? Maybe I'm hiding from the owner. Let's see it.
00:22:12You're not my boyfriend anymore. You're my bodyguard. We should keep things professional.
00:22:28Good night.
00:22:31Good night.
00:22:35You're right, Elena. I'm just your bodyguard.
00:22:48Elena, I want you to put this on. It's lightweight. You won't even feel it.
00:22:53I'm not wearing that.
00:22:55You can either do it yourself or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:22:59And I could do it. And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:23:02Look, I can do it myself.
00:23:11Ma'am?
00:23:13Oh, I got it.
00:23:14Sorry.
00:23:18Okay. Uh, I have to go. I'm late for work.
00:23:22Yes, ma'am.
00:23:28I'm assuming that assassination didn't go as planned?
00:23:30An idiot calls himself a hitman. He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:23:35Chad, I'm leaving this to you.
00:23:38Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb, and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:23:42Consider it done.
00:23:44Jesus, Chad. How many times have I told you to knock?
00:23:54Why do you run?
00:23:56You owe me dinner, remember?
00:23:58I remember.
00:24:00But I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral, so can we take a brain check?
00:24:04Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:24:06You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:24:09This is how people get burned down.
00:24:11You need to take some time off to relax.
00:24:21Yeah.
00:24:23You know what? Let's do dinner.
00:24:24Great.
00:24:42Sir, this is a table for two.
00:24:45Why don't you go sit over there?
00:24:49I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard. I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times, but thanks for checking in.
00:25:06Well, don't let me interrupt. If you guys haven't ordered yet, go ahead.
00:25:2782 Lafite. Your favorite. I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me. Here, have a taste.
00:25:46Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink. I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:25:51Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:26:02My apologies.
00:26:05Elena.
00:26:09I know how tough it's been for you.
00:26:12And I want you to know that I'm here for you.
00:26:15Always.
00:26:17And that my heart belongs to you.
00:26:21I'm sorry, Chad. I'm not really in the mood to talk about all of that.
00:26:28Can we eat?
00:26:29I'm starving.
00:26:31Yeah. Sam.
00:26:34The mango salad.
00:26:39Oh, hey, Sam. Sorry about that.
00:26:42She actually doesn't like mangoes. You mind bringing out another plate without them?
00:26:46He still remembers?
00:26:47I'll see what I can talk about now.
00:26:53Wait, didn't he-
00:26:54You two just meet? How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:26:59How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:01Well, we actually go way back.
00:27:04And I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference on mangoes.
00:27:08He's my bodyguard. Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know.
00:27:12I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:27:13I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:27:18Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:27:21What was that tonight?
00:27:23What was that tonight?
00:27:49If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:27:53Maybe you're just seeing things the way you want to see them.
00:27:57You ever think about that?
00:27:59How could I forget?
00:28:01Right, you shattered my heart.
00:28:04Just save it.
00:28:06Just go home.
00:28:08Funeral preparations to make anyway.
00:28:13I'm sorry, Elena.
00:28:16I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:28:19I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:28:23Elena!
00:28:26Elena?
00:28:27Dad!
00:28:28You're back!
00:28:29Dad!
00:28:30What's going on?
00:28:31Please.
00:28:32It's fine.
00:28:33I'm here.
00:28:34Okay?
00:28:35You're safe.
00:28:36I had a dream about my dad.
00:28:37One second he was smiling at me and then the next.
00:28:41I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:28:48Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:28:55Yes.
00:28:56Yes.
00:28:57Yes.
00:28:58You're the strongest woman I've ever met.
00:28:59Yes.
00:29:00Yes.
00:29:01Yes.
00:29:02Yes.
00:29:03Yes.
00:29:04Yes.
00:29:05Yes.
00:29:06Yes.
00:29:07Yes.
00:29:08Yes.
00:29:09Yes.
00:29:10Yes.
00:29:11Yes.
00:29:12Yes.
00:29:13Yes.
00:29:14Yes.
00:29:15Yes.
00:29:16Yes.
00:29:20Yes.
00:29:21Yes.
00:29:22Yes.
00:29:23You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:29:26And I think that you can do anything you set your heart on.
00:29:30Besides, I'm going to be right here the whole time supporting you.
00:29:33Protecting you.
00:29:35Protecting me.
00:29:40Do you really think I can trust you
00:29:42after what you've put me through?
00:29:46Okay.
00:29:47A relationship that is in the past.
00:29:51But I would protect you with my life.
00:29:53I'd die for you.
00:29:56I need you to understand that.
00:29:59So you would die for me,
00:30:00but you won't love me.
00:30:05Stay with me.
00:30:35I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:30:41You're my bodyguard.
00:30:44And I'm scared.
00:30:48Stay with me.
00:30:50So I can feel safe.
00:30:51If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:31:11What are we doing here?
00:31:19I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:31:22You know, just in case.
00:31:24Always got to be prepared.
00:31:26What I mean is, in case I die first
00:31:28and you're still in danger,
00:31:30you can
00:31:30fight your way out.
00:31:33first-case scenario.
00:31:42What would you do
00:31:43if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:31:48Um...
00:31:48No, all the pushing in the world
00:31:53won't do anything.
00:31:55Try putting your hand
00:31:56on a more
00:31:57vulnerable place.
00:32:00Dog one there.
00:32:03Dog one there.
00:32:04Push as hard as you can.
00:32:05All right.
00:32:11Nice.
00:32:15All right.
00:32:16Second scenario.
00:32:19What if somebody
00:32:20had you like this?
00:32:28What if somebody
00:32:30had you like this?
00:32:35It's just self-defense training.
00:32:37Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:32:40What's your move?
00:32:43Um...
00:32:44I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:32:48Like...
00:32:49stomping on the...
00:32:50Very nice.
00:32:54You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:32:57Okay.
00:32:58Third scenario.
00:33:00You ready?
00:33:01All right.
00:33:04What?
00:33:09Someone's got you like this.
00:33:12Starts choking you.
00:33:14Um...
00:33:15You gotta be quick.
00:33:16Like this?
00:33:20Use your hips.
00:33:21What?
00:33:23Use your hips
00:33:24to thrust me off of you
00:33:25as hard as you can.
00:33:30Ace, are you okay?
00:33:32Did I hurt your leg?
00:33:33No.
00:33:34What was that sound?
00:33:39It didn't hurt my leg.
00:33:41It's fine.
00:33:42That was a good job.
00:33:43No, you're hurt.
00:33:45Let me...
00:33:45Fine.
00:33:46That was good work, though.
00:33:47Seriously.
00:33:48Ace,
00:33:49new security equipment
00:33:50just arrived.
00:33:51Can you come check it out?
00:33:52Yeah, sure.
00:33:52Thanks, Josh.
00:33:53Good job today.
00:33:57Seriously.
00:34:03That sound was weird.
00:34:10Ace is hiding something from me.
00:34:13Hi.
00:34:13Alina, right?
00:34:16I'm Josh.
00:34:17I used to serve with Ace
00:34:18in the military,
00:34:19but now we're colleagues.
00:34:21He talks about you a lot.
00:34:22Hi, Josh.
00:34:25I'm sorry.
00:34:26Can I ask...
00:34:27Is there something
00:34:28going on with Ace's leg?
00:34:33Huh?
00:34:34Leg?
00:34:35No.
00:34:36Not that I know of.
00:34:37You know,
00:34:38Ace has been single
00:34:39for years now.
00:34:40Everyone here knows
00:34:42that there's someone
00:34:44he's never been able
00:34:44to forget,
00:34:45and that person
00:34:47is you, Alina.
00:34:49You're mistaken.
00:34:51He...
00:34:51He doesn't love me
00:34:53at all.
00:34:54If you knew him,
00:34:54then you would know
00:34:55that he broke up
00:34:56with me three years ago.
00:34:57You know,
00:34:58I might be just an outsider,
00:35:00but I know Ace.
00:35:03Maybe some things
00:35:03aren't what they seem.
00:35:06All right.
00:35:07I gotta go check up
00:35:08on Ace
00:35:08and the new equipment.
00:35:09It was nice meeting you.
00:35:10Maybe some things
00:35:14aren't what they seem.
00:35:16What does that even mean?
00:35:18Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:35:19Everything looks great.
00:35:20Okay.
00:35:25Ace.
00:35:26Lane, I asked
00:35:27about your leg.
00:35:30What'd you say?
00:35:34What'd you say?
00:35:35Don't worry.
00:35:36I'd say it wasn't.
00:35:38But...
00:35:39Honestly, man,
00:35:40I think she still cares
00:35:42about you.
00:35:42Maybe it's time
00:35:43you told her the truth.
00:35:44I appreciate your input, Josh,
00:35:45but I think I know
00:35:46what's best for Alina,
00:35:47and I...
00:35:48Might want to deal
00:35:49with that prosthetic soon,
00:35:50though.
00:35:50It's overdue
00:35:51for a replacement.
00:35:52If you keep stalling,
00:35:53you're gonna damage
00:35:54the nerves in your leg, man.
00:35:55You know that a new prosthetic
00:35:57would take about three weeks.
00:35:59I'm still on the job.
00:36:00I can't leave Alina alone.
00:36:01I think that would be
00:36:02very irresponsible of me,
00:36:04don't you think, Josh?
00:36:05Man,
00:36:07you're one hell romantic.
00:36:08You know that?
00:36:09Yeah, well,
00:36:09that makes one of us.
00:36:10Why don't you
00:36:10get the hell out of here,
00:36:11all right?
00:36:12Almighty God,
00:36:28in your mercy,
00:36:29turn the darkness of death
00:36:31into the dawn of new life
00:36:33and the sorrow of parting
00:36:34into the joy of heaven
00:36:36through our Savior Jesus Christ,
00:36:39who died,
00:36:40rose again,
00:36:41and lives forevermore.
00:36:44Amen.
00:36:49My deepest condolences.
00:36:51May your father rest in peace.
00:36:53If your father knew
00:36:54that your reckless reforms
00:36:55would be tearing his company apart,
00:36:57you would never rest in peace.
00:36:59He was your brother.
00:37:01If you had even a shred
00:37:03of affection for him,
00:37:04you would never say something
00:37:05like that at his funeral.
00:37:07You know, Uncle Houston,
00:37:08I've always wondered,
00:37:09you've been far angrier
00:37:10about the health care
00:37:11reforms
00:37:11than my own father's murder.
00:37:14Could it be that you
00:37:15had something to do
00:37:15with his death?
00:37:17That is outrageous slander.
00:37:21How dare you accuse me
00:37:22of murdering my brother
00:37:23at his funeral?
00:37:33Sorry for your loss.
00:37:41when you say it JJ,
00:37:41I'm sorry for your loss and
00:37:58you know you over MSN.
00:38:00I'm sorry for your loss of
00:38:0135 years to see
00:38:03your own heart.
00:38:04Myliness is really
00:38:04edia,
00:38:05and anxiety
00:38:06and you know your
00:38:11This was my father's favorite.
00:38:16I got it for him for his birthday,
00:38:18but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:38:30Right here.
00:38:32Not going anywhere.
00:38:41Good night.
00:38:44Don't go.
00:38:53Can you promise you won't leave me again?
00:38:57Promise.
00:38:59I'll never leave you again.
00:39:02Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:39:06Someone that you can't forget.
00:39:07Is that someone me?
00:39:11Tell me, Ace.
00:39:20Yes.
00:39:22That's someone who's you.
00:39:25And it always has been.
00:39:26If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:39:29Look, it's been a long day.
00:39:30I don't think we should talk about it.
00:39:34I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:39:36You did hurt me.
00:39:37Three years ago, I waited for you to come back and marry me.
00:39:43And then you left me for another woman.
00:39:45You broke my heart.
00:39:48And then you just walked back in my life like nothing happened.
00:39:51No.
00:39:52No.
00:39:52No.
00:40:06No.
00:40:06No.
00:40:06No.
00:40:11No.
00:40:12No.
00:40:12Oh, my God, I drank too much.
00:40:37Can we sleep together?
00:40:40I'm hungry.
00:40:42I made you breakfast.
00:40:44Last night, we...
00:40:48You were drunk.
00:40:50Very drunk.
00:40:51I took care of you.
00:40:52That was it.
00:40:53He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:40:56Jerk.
00:40:59Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:41:05You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:41:19Haven't you dealt with that bitch, Elena, yet?
00:41:21She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:41:24She's hard to handle.
00:41:25A bodyguard of her is practically glued onto her.
00:41:29I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:41:31This will not do.
00:41:34She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:41:37Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:41:39If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:41:43What do you want me to do?
00:41:46Company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:41:49Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board, which you're going to do.
00:41:53Is invite her to go as your date, and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:41:57Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:41:59We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from her form.
00:42:05Kill two birds with one stone.
00:42:06I like that.
00:42:06Exactly.
00:42:07The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:42:11There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:42:18Elena.
00:42:20I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:42:26I told you Mr. Vegas would be chasing this person.
00:42:29He's been out for ages.
00:42:30His persistence is kind of impressive.
00:42:41Chad, I...
00:42:42Elena, trust me.
00:42:44I can help you win over a couple more board members for the health care reform plan.
00:42:52Yeah.
00:42:53Yes, I would love to go to dinner.
00:42:55Great.
00:42:56See you later.
00:42:59How do I look?
00:43:18You look beautiful.
00:43:21You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:43:23What, are you jealous?
00:43:27I just don't think that that guy deserves all of this.
00:43:38Oh, speak of the double.
00:43:41Beautiful.
00:43:43Elena, we should get going.
00:43:44We're going to be late.
00:43:44And, uh, Ace, remember your place, okay there, sport?
00:43:50You're the bodyguard.
00:43:53So make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:43:57Elena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses, but I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:44:21Forget about that for a moment.
00:44:23What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:44:28Given the company's current PR crisis, announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:44:34Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:44:38Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:44:42Chad and I are...
00:44:42Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:44:45Our company has faced challenges recently, but on this special night, our new CEO, Ms. Elena Pearson, would like to say a few words.
00:45:05Before Ms. Pearson says anything, I have a surprise for her.
00:45:12I have a surprise for her.
00:45:14Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:45:31Will you marry me?
00:45:32Marry him!
00:45:34Marry him!
00:45:35Marry him!
00:45:36Marry him!
00:45:38Marry him!
00:45:39Marry him!
00:45:41Marry him!
00:45:42Marry him!
00:45:43Marry him!
00:45:44Chad, stand up.
00:45:44What are you doing?
00:45:46I don't...
00:45:46Come on, let's go.
00:45:49We're leaving.
00:45:49Okay.
00:45:52What the hell are you doing?
00:46:09Storming out like that in front of all those guests, you've realized how bad you're making the company's image look.
00:46:13Oh, really?
00:46:14So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:46:17That's ridiculous.
00:46:19Who I marry is none of your business.
00:46:22We're over, Ace.
00:46:23You're just my bodyguard.
00:46:24You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:46:26You don't mean that.
00:46:27You don't love that guy, you barely fucking know him.
00:46:30Who I love is none of your concern.
00:46:33Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins, when you push me away over and over again.
00:46:39Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal, you would have nothing to do with it and you couldn't stop me.
00:46:54Elena!
00:46:55Elena, why are you?
00:46:59Elena, are you in there?
00:47:00Tell him you're busy, make him leave.
00:47:10Tell him you're busy, make him leave.
00:47:13I'll be out in a minute.
00:47:36Are you sure you're okay?
00:47:38Yeah, I'm fine, just...
00:47:43Just go.
00:48:01Ace, you're a bastard.
00:48:03Look, I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:48:06Owen, you do?
00:48:07You abandoned me, we were supposed to get married.
00:48:11You have no right to say that to me.
00:48:14What do you think's going on here?
00:48:16Do you think that I don't love you?
00:48:19I mean, do you have any fucking idea...
00:48:20Elena!
00:48:21Who's in there with you?
00:48:22How much what were you saying?
00:48:24How much what were you saying?
00:48:26How much what were you saying?
00:48:28Elena!
00:48:29What do you think?
00:48:30What are you two doing in here?
00:48:31What are you two doing in here?
00:48:32I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:48:33You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there? Proposing in front of everyone? What? Have you lost your mind?
00:48:48Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long, and you've never rejected me. So that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:48:58What? I haven't said anything. You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:49:03What's the difference? Hmm? Everybody already thinks that you're my fiance now. Since you never rejected me, it's clear that you like me. It's only natural for us to meet again.
00:49:12Hey, don't step closer.
00:49:14And who the hell are you? You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:49:20Don't think I don't see what's happening. Acting all on your high horse, but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:49:33Bravo. Bravo, you two are the perfect pair of adulterous. Hey, this must be nice, huh? Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:49:43Shut the fuck up.
00:49:44Is the matter, struck a nerve? Elena, you have the audacity to accuse me of damaging the company? Take a look in the mirror. You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard. You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.
00:49:59You see that girl right there? There's no one in the world that I love more than her. You're not gonna disrespect her. You show face around here again, I'm gonna fucking kill her. You understand? You understand!
00:50:14You, you left me? Did you mean what you said? Please just tell me the truth. That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:50:39No, Elena, I can't be with you. I'm just a man with a prosthetic. I'm not whole. I'll never be enough for you.
00:50:47That was just impulsive. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
00:50:51You're lying. You still keep a photo of us in your wallet. You'd risk your life for me. You'd stay up all night to protect me. That is not just a bodyguard doing his job. That is something more and you know it.
00:51:04Moments ago, right here, you said that you love me more than anyone else in the world, Ace. Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:51:15Elena, look. Look, I'm here to guard you. I'm your bodyguard. I shouldn't have crossed the line. I'm sorry. Now, let's go.
00:51:34Stay away from me. Elena. I'm sorry, Elena. I can't hold you back. You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:51:47I can't handle one woman. Absolutely useless.
00:51:54That bitch has been screaming bodyguard the whole damn time. What do you want me to do?
00:51:58That pathetic freaking loser. I'm going to kill him. It's only a matter of time.
00:52:06If that's the case, there's only one option left. We want Pearson Group. We're going to have to eliminate her. Just like we did her father.
00:52:17You think you can fix everything that these little tricks won't work, Ace?
00:52:34It's your favorite. French toast. Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect. I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.
00:52:47Oliver, what are you doing here? This is a signed first edition. Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that down for you.
00:53:14And while you were at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:53:29Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
00:53:35I just want you to be happy, Elena. Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:53:41You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
00:53:46But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
00:53:52It wasn't your fault. None of it was.
00:53:56It was mine.
00:53:57Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:03Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:08Go make me a coffee. I have a meeting soon.
00:54:11Miss 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?
00:54:32Oliver, you don't understand. Every time I take a step forward, he takes two steps back.
00:54:38It's not that simple.
00:54:40Well, then maybe you should take the lead. Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:54:48Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?
00:54:53Talk it through. Hmm?
00:54:57Maybe.
00:55:08Maybe you should take the lead.
00:55:12The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle and he loved it.
00:55:18Ace, stay here. I have a surprise for you.
00:55:23All right. And your order will be delivered tonight.
00:55:27Thank you so much.
00:55:28Thank you for shopping with us, Miss Pearson.
00:55:53Take care.
00:55:54Bye.
00:55:56Oh, my God.
00:56:27Josh, Elena's been taking.
00:56:29Activate the tracking system. Get the cops involved.
00:56:32I'll go on after her.
00:56:45Who are you?
00:56:46Look at this. It's about the company's health care reforms that I promised you.
00:56:50I'm proposing a new plan.
00:56:52It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
00:56:54Shut your mouth.
00:56:57This isn't about health care. You got it all wrong.
00:56:59What?
00:57:07My uncle hired you?
00:57:09He paid you to kill my dad?
00:57:11Ding, ding, ding. It took you long enough to figure out.
00:57:14Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:57:19Now sign the damn thing or I'll...
00:57:20Put a hole in your head!
00:57:24Okay, I'll sign.
00:57:26But you have to let me go after.
00:57:29Good.
00:57:30Sign it.
00:57:31Then you're free to go.
00:57:34He's lying.
00:57:35As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
00:57:37Think, Elena. Think.
00:57:38Hurry up.
00:57:40Don't try anything stupid or...
00:57:43Break your legs before you can escape.
00:57:46Okay?
00:57:47Jesus.
00:57:48Jesus.
00:57:57No.
00:57:57I don't want to die.
00:57:59Please, Ace, save me.
00:58:03Now that this job is completed,
00:58:05I can never have to worry about money ever again.
00:58:10Good job.
00:58:22Ah!
00:58:22Ah!
00:58:25Drop your weapon or I'll bowl her brains out.
00:58:31Yes, don't do it.
00:58:35Drop your weapon!
00:58:43Good job.
00:58:43Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:58:46Go ahead.
00:59:00No.
00:59:01Come on.
00:59:03Ah!
00:59:04Ah!
00:59:05Ah!
00:59:06No!
00:59:08No!
00:59:12Are you crazy?
00:59:13He had a gun pointed at your head
00:59:15and you still went after him.
00:59:17I thought I lost you.
00:59:18It's gonna be okay.
00:59:22I knew exactly what he was doing
00:59:24when he asked me to close my eyes.
00:59:26It's over.
00:59:26Who sent you?
00:59:37Who sent you?
00:59:37Come on!
00:59:40Okay, just get me a medic.
00:59:41I don't want to die.
00:59:42You're gonna get some help
00:59:43as soon as you give me some fucking answers.
00:59:45So talk!
00:59:45Who's Houston?
00:59:48Who's Houston?
00:59:50He paid me to kill Carter.
00:59:52The kid, Emelina.
00:59:54There's proof.
00:59:55Where?
00:59:55My left jacket pocket.
00:59:57Just check it!
00:59:59Ah!
00:59:59Kill that idiot Carter Pearson
01:00:04and the five million dollars is yours.
01:00:07Why would he murder his own brother?
01:00:13My father's been nothing but kind to him.
01:00:20It comes out of the way.
01:00:23Everything's fine.
01:00:24Because I don't understand.
01:00:26Houston was the company's
01:00:27second largest shareholder.
01:00:29What more could he possibly want?
01:00:30Why would he murder my father?
01:00:35And in front of me, too.
01:00:38I'm gonna have to live with that image
01:00:39scarred into the back of my mind
01:00:41for the rest of my life.
01:00:43Some people just want more.
01:00:45And it's never enough.
01:00:46They're just greedy and they're monsters
01:00:47and you never have to think about them again, okay?
01:00:49It's over.
01:00:51It's over.
01:00:56I'm gonna go.
01:00:58Hey, let's go.
01:00:59Okay.
01:01:00Please pull over.
01:01:13What's wrong?
01:01:14Your arm, it's bleeding.
01:01:16Didn't you notice?
01:01:17No, I didn't notice.
01:01:18It must have happened during the fight.
01:01:20You're unbelievable.
01:01:23It's fine.
01:01:25Just pull over right up there.
01:01:27It's fine.
01:01:27No, I'll take care of it.
01:01:28We'll stop for a bit.
01:01:30I don't know.
01:01:41Aze, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
01:01:46Why not?
01:01:47Come on.
01:01:47Tell me the truth or I swear
01:01:48I will wrap this bandage around your arms
01:01:50so hard you can't feel it.
01:01:51Hey, look, I screwed up, but that's in the past.
01:02:02I just want to move forward, okay?
01:02:04Please be honest with me.
01:02:05Please be honest with me.
01:02:06Do you still love me?
01:02:09Come on, don't try and dodge the question.
01:02:12Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't.
01:02:15You charged right in to save me.
01:02:17If you didn't care about me,
01:02:18you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
01:02:21I love you.
01:02:24I always had.
01:02:26Never stopped.
01:02:26Not even for a second.
01:02:28I believe you this time.
01:02:31Let's start fresh.
01:02:33I love you, Elena.
01:02:35I've always loved you.
01:02:36Come here.
01:02:37Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
01:02:47I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said,
01:02:49if you don't get treated soon,
01:02:50your leg may forever lose sensation.
01:02:58Today we're here to talk about
01:03:00my healthcare reform strategy.
01:03:02You can't even handle your personal life.
01:03:05The news came out, and this company's stock prices
01:03:07fell another five points.
01:03:10And yet you still think you can push through reforms.
01:03:13I'm the first to object.
01:03:15Elena, do you know how
01:03:16the other healthcare companies are mocking us?
01:03:19They're saying that we're spineless idiots
01:03:20because we let a woman become the CEO.
01:03:25Uncle Houston,
01:03:27if my scandals are causing such problems for the company,
01:03:31how do you plan to account for the damages
01:03:33that your actions have caused?
01:03:36Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:03:42Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:03:49That's slander.
01:03:50Your father was killed by an angry citizen
01:03:52who is dissatisfied with the current healthcare system.
01:03:55What does that have to do with me?
01:04:01Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson,
01:04:03and the $5 million is yours.
01:04:09I testify that Houston Pearson paid me
01:04:11to kill Carter Pearson,
01:04:13and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
01:04:16I hereby declare
01:04:23that Houston Pearson
01:04:25is immediately stripped
01:04:26of all his duties within this group.
01:04:29You murdered my father
01:04:31and tried to kill me.
01:04:32You need to pay for your crimes.
01:04:34You need to pay for your crimes.
01:04:36Who do you think you are?
01:04:38Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson group?
01:04:40I gave everything to this company.
01:04:44Why should you,
01:04:45the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson,
01:04:47inherit this company?
01:04:48What is wrong with increasing
01:04:50the claim denial rate?
01:04:52This company's profits doubled
01:04:53because I developed AI technology
01:04:55that increased our claim denial rate
01:04:57to 40%,
01:04:58the highest in the industry.
01:05:01And that old fool Carter,
01:05:03he dared to yell at me over this.
01:05:05He deserved to die.
01:05:07Every accomplishment you've made
01:05:09has been riding off
01:05:10of the coattails
01:05:11of struggling people
01:05:12and my father's life.
01:05:14And you show no remorse for them.
01:05:16You're a monster.
01:05:20Don't move.
01:05:24Raise your hands.
01:05:27Houston Pearson,
01:05:29you're on arrest
01:05:29for first-degree murder.
01:05:37Now, does anyone else
01:05:59have anything to say?
01:06:03Great.
01:06:03All those in favor
01:06:06of implementing
01:06:07my health care reform strategy,
01:06:09raise your hand.
01:06:28Very well.
01:06:30It seems the majority has voted.
01:06:31Yes.
01:06:32I declare that the health care reform plan
01:06:35with the slogan
01:06:36deliver,
01:06:37declare,
01:06:38and disclose
01:06:39has officially passed
01:06:41and will be implemented
01:06:42immediately.
01:06:44congratulations on the huge success
01:07:05of the health care reform.
01:07:07Bring it in, guys.
01:07:10Congrats, you two.
01:07:12Looks like you guys
01:07:13are officially back together.
01:07:15Should I be planning
01:07:16your reunion party?
01:07:17Yeah, that's enough.
01:07:18That's enough.
01:07:18Oh, Miss Pearson,
01:07:20if your father could see you now,
01:07:22he'd be so proud.
01:07:24Oh.
01:07:27Thank you so much, guys.
01:07:29If it hadn't been for you,
01:07:31I don't think
01:07:31my health care reform plan
01:07:33would have passed.
01:07:34Especially you, Ace.
01:07:36I don't know
01:07:38what I would have done
01:07:39without you.
01:07:42Well, I'll, um,
01:07:44always
01:07:44be your rama.
01:07:48Cheers!
01:07:49Heck yeah.
01:07:50Hey.
01:08:03Hey.
01:08:05Were you looking for me?
01:08:07Josh is out there
01:08:08drinking like a wild animal
01:08:09and
01:08:09just trying to make
01:08:11everyone join him.
01:08:13Oh, they're skipping me
01:08:13and I own it.
01:08:14I don't have any time
01:08:16to waste on that stuff.
01:08:19I guess I have to
01:08:20reserve all my energy
01:08:23for you.
01:08:23All right.
01:08:26Mr. Atkins,
01:08:28your duties as a bodyguard
01:08:29are officially over.
01:08:32What's next on your agenda?
01:08:34I have a few ideas.
01:08:35Yes.
01:08:35Yes.
01:08:44What's wrong?
01:09:11What's wrong?
01:09:13Nothing.
01:09:14I just, um,
01:09:15I don't know
01:09:19if we're in the right
01:09:20place or
01:09:22if it's the right time.
01:09:24What?
01:09:26After everything
01:09:26we've been through, Ace,
01:09:27I thought we were past this.
01:09:29I know, but I, uh,
01:09:31But what?
01:09:35I just, uh,
01:09:37I don't think
01:09:37we should rush into this.
01:09:38I think we should
01:09:39think this through, okay?
01:09:41You're a jerk.
01:09:42God, I'm an asshole.
01:09:52Why does he keep
01:09:52pushing me away?
01:09:53He's.
01:10:09He's.
01:10:11He's.
01:10:11He's.
01:10:13He's.
01:10:15He's.
01:10:15Ace! Ace!
01:10:24It's okay.
01:10:25It's okay. He's dead.
01:10:27It's over.
01:10:37Oh my god! Miss Pearson!
01:10:40I'm going to call an ambulance.
01:10:45Is he going to be okay, doctor?
01:11:00I'll tell Alayna about it.
01:11:04A prosthetic leg.
01:11:07All right. I respect your wishes.
01:11:09Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:11:17His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:11:22Thank you, doctor.
01:11:24By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:11:28Okay. I'll go there now then.
01:11:34Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:11:36Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:11:43According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives, has been involved in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.
01:11:52The killer was hired by him.
01:11:55What? Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:11:59Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:12:02You can rest assured that, with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.
01:12:08You're safe.
01:12:10Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:12:17You can rest.
01:12:19I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:12:24Ace?
01:12:25Ace?
01:12:25You're leaving me again?
01:12:51I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:13:19It's her.
01:13:20The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:13:23So you're a physical therapist?
01:13:26That's your daughter and husband?
01:13:28Yes.
01:13:30I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:13:33You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
01:13:37This involves Ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:13:42But Alina, I assure you Ace did not betray you.
01:13:46Then why?
01:13:47Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?
01:13:52I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
01:13:57But I think that deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:14:02He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:14:04Alina, what are you doing here?
01:14:14Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital, and he just left me a note.
01:14:17Do you know where he is?
01:14:18What?
01:14:18Does he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:14:27What do you mean, prosthetic leg?
01:14:29Oh man, I wasn't supposed to say that.
01:14:34Josh, what do you mean, prosthetic?
01:14:37All right.
01:14:39Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:14:43Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.
01:14:47So, he pretended to cheat on you, and broke up with you.
01:14:52Later, after you got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.
01:14:57He thought a great girl like you deserved it better.
01:15:00So, he avoided you at critical moments.
01:15:06Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:15:08He's getting his new prosthetic leg fit right now.
01:15:11Go find him, Alina.
01:15:12Ace, you jerk.
01:15:14How could you keep something so important from me?
01:15:17This time, I won't let you go.
01:15:19I won't let you walk away again.
01:15:22Fortunately, you came in time.
01:15:25The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
01:15:27With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:15:30This one is newly made for you.
01:15:32Try it.
01:15:33Thanks.
01:15:44This is the secret you've been keeping from me?
01:16:10This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:16:14What are you doing here?
01:16:15You shouldn't be here.
01:16:16You need to leave.
01:16:20This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:16:25Alina, you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
01:16:28I need you to leave right now.
01:16:29Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:16:32Do you really think that little of me?
01:16:35That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
01:16:38How was I supposed to tell you this, Alina?
01:16:40How...
01:16:40I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:16:47Huh?
01:16:48I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.
01:16:52I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:16:54I mean, just fucking look at me, Alina.
01:16:55I can't even stand up straight.
01:16:57But I love you.
01:16:58Ace, can't you see?
01:17:03No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you.
01:17:08Always!
01:17:13Alina, come on, why?
01:17:14Just stop pushing me away.
01:17:19Ace Atkins, you listen to me right now.
01:17:24You have left me so many times.
01:17:28You can't keep running from me.
01:17:30I am here to stay.
01:17:33Got it?
01:17:35I love you so much.
01:17:36I'm sorry.
01:17:37I'm sorry.
01:17:38Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:17:56Come on, don't try and be tough.
01:17:59No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:18:03So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
01:18:07I'm disabled and I might become a burden to you when we're older.
01:18:13Have you thought about that?
01:18:14If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.
01:18:21I love Ace Atkins.
01:18:24The person, not the leg.
01:18:26So what if you're missing a leg?
01:18:28I will love you all the same.
01:18:30Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:18:32No, no, of course not, man.
01:18:38I'll always be by your side.
01:18:40Then let me do the same.
01:18:43I am choosing you, okay?
01:18:45Okay?
01:18:48I got it.
01:18:49Miss Pearson, your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life.
01:19:12Miss Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success,
01:19:16making you the most popular CEO in the U.S.
01:19:18What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:19:23I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success,
01:19:28partly due to great planning,
01:19:29but also because of my fiancée, Ace Atkins.
01:19:35His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
