00:00:13You
00:00:21Your deployments tomorrow
00:00:23I'm still worried. Don't worry. I'm gonna be back
00:00:27I'm gonna be safe and sound. The first thing we're gonna do is get married. I'll be waiting
00:00:47Oh
00:00:48Oh
00:00:55Oh my god, it's so good to see you
00:00:57So good to see you
00:00:58I miss you a lot
00:01:01We can't wait to go home together
00:01:02Yeah, what are you doing for dinner?
00:01:04I'm so sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace?
00:01:07He was supposed to come out with you
00:01:09Ace? He's been back for a month
00:01:11He didn't tell you
00:01:13What?
00:01:16Call him up
00:01:17You'll see
00:01:19Let's go
00:01:22Ace came back a month ago, but he hasn't been answering my calls
00:01:32Ace open up. I know you're in there
00:01:35Ace! Ace!
00:01:55Ace, what are you doing?
00:01:57Who is that woman?
00:02:02Ace, open the door!
00:02:05Who the hell are you and what do you want with Ace?
00:02:08I need to see him
00:02:10Ace!
00:02:15I don't know what you want me to say
00:02:18I don't know what you want me to say
00:02:19I...
00:02:20I don't know what you want me to say
00:02:20I...
00:02:21It's over
00:02:23I got myself a new girl
00:02:25It'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
00:02:46No, 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
00:02:54If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy
00:02:56You're a spoiled rich heiress
00:02:58And no guy wants a woman like that
00:03:01Can't you understand that?
00:03:03Just fuck off
00:03:05My dad was right about you
00:03:08And I never should have fallen for you
00:03:11I hate you, Ace Atkins!
00:03:23Did 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
00:03:48Let's get you into that wheelchair
00:04:10I want you to end things with Elena
00:04:12The engagement is off
00:04:13Take this money as your compensation
00:04:18Mr. Pearson, I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you
00:04:23Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money
00:04:26All I need is a chance to talk to Elena
00:04:28That's all I'm asking for
00:04:29What can you possibly do for Elena?
00:04:31When you can't even stand on your own
00:04:33All you'll do is break her heart
00:04:35I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple
00:04:38If you really love her, leave her alone
00:05:07Thanks for doing this, Sally
00:05:08I really appreciate it
00:05:12We'll start physical therapy in 10 minutes
00:05:14I'll go get the equipment
00:05:19I love you, Elena
00:05:21Forget about me
00:05:23You'll find happiness again
00:05:30Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare
00:05:34Was fatally shot by a gunman on 5th Avenue
00:05:37Police suspect the attack may be related to the wave of insurance policy changes
00:05:41That Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement
00:05:43For now, the gunman remains at large
00:05:45While Elena 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 healthcare reform
00:06:18The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage
00:06:23And to make healthcare more affordable for everyone
00:06:27My plan
00:06:31The hell with your shit plan
00:06:33You're giving away our profits to these poor people
00:06:35I reject it
00:06:37Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies have led to my father's death
00:06:41My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs
00:06:44No matter what you say
00:06:46I will never, ever, change my mind
00:06:50Really?
00:06:51You think you can control the entire group?
00:06:54I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan
00:06:57You think I will also get help?
00:07:14I'm not the only one against these guys
00:07:14I'm not the only one against this man
00:07:15You think you can control the entire community
00:07:18You think you can control the entire group?
00:07:18And you think you can control the entire group?
00:07:18You think I'm not the only 8th lighthouse
00:07:19Yes, I believe in the entire group
00:07:42Looks like y'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?
00:07:54Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:57Ace, 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?
00:08:05I think anyone's gonna protect her like I would, Josh.
00:08:09I'll handle it.
00:08:20Elena, 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.
00:08:43Have you lost your mind?
00:08:45Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:08:46No one here will testify against me.
00:08:49Just sign the damn paper.
00:08:51Are you all gonna let him do this?
00:08:53Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those lowlifes.
00:08:57Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:09:05Let's go, Russ.
00:09:06Come on.
00:09:20Get your hands off of her.
00:09:23No way.
00:09:24That voice, it can't be him.
00:09:29It can't be him.
00:09:30Yeah!
00:09:40Long 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.
00:09:51You're my what?
00:09:51Jesus, Elena.
00:09:53Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:09:56Stupid or something?
00:10:00You insult my boss again.
00:10:02You're gonna be the one that needs some fucking healthcare.
00:10:04Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:10:12Leave or you're fired.
00:10:14I don't give a shit.
00:10:14You'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.
00:10:32Oh, Miss Pearson, uh, Mr. Atkins.
00:10:36I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:10:39Miss, uh, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought after bodyguard in America.
00:10:46Now, as for the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:10:55No.
00:10:58I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:11:02I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:11:05Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.
00:11:08Anyone but him.
00:11:09Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:11:12With him around, your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:11:17Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute? I need to talk to him.
00:11:21Yes, ma'am.
00:11:25Ace, what are you doing here?
00:11:27I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:11:29Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now, and, uh, well, I was worried about you.
00:11:35We broke up three years ago.
00:11:38You cheated on me.
00:11:38You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:11:41The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:11:46The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:11:49No, go.
00:11:51I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:11:57Are 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.
00:12:10Elena.
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.
00:12:25Let go.
00:12:30Take me home.
00:12:34Elena.
00:12:39Asshole.
00:12:40You broke my heart.
00:12:42Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:12:49That's odd.
00:12:51I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:13:00Someone broke in.
00:13:02The killer?
00:13:05Ah!
00:13:07Ah!
00:13:08Ah!
00:13:25Why so surprised, Princess?
00:13:27Didn't you know you were gonna be next?
00:13:32No, I don't want to die, please. Someone help me.
00:14:15I'm so good. I thought I was gonna die.
00:14:22You're safe. You're hurt. You're all right?
00:14:25You saved me. Mace. You're bleeding.
00:14:37He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even harder than he used to be.
00:14:42He's still got that same glow. God, I missed her.
00:14:47Do you remember the last time we had a bathroom?
00:15:04Yes, ma'am.
00:15:13That guy got you in the leg too, right? I should wrap that up.
00:15:18You tried to stab me in the leg and he missed. It's fine.
00:15:23I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:15:28Is there something wrong?
00:15:30No, it's fine.
00:15:32Okay.
00:15:32It's fine.
00:16:01I'm sorry, but I don't know if it's going to help.
00:16:06Oh, my...
00:16:10Am I interrupting?
00:16:12No, no.
00:16:15Ace cut himself, and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:16:22Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up.
00:16:25Great.
00:16:26Wait, he's not staying with me.
00:16:29Yes, Miss Pearson, of course.
00:16:32That'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.
00:16:45Oliver, it's not just about the contract.
00:16:47I can't...
00:16:49I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:16:53You must understand.
00:16:56You 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.
00:17:07I'll be fine.
00:17:09Oliver, you win.
00:17:11Brilliant.
00:17:12Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:17:24I would take a bullet for her.
00:17:38You're the first door on the left.
00:17:40You can stay there.
00:17:42I'll wait, I can see you.
00:17:43Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:17:45Um, we 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.
00:17:54So, here's how it's going to go.
00:17:56You are going to do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm going to live my life.
00:18:00Nothing else.
00:18:02Is that clear?
00:18:04Crystal.
00:18:06Crystal.
00:18:07I'm going to unpack this stuff.
00:18:21Is this his wallet?
00:18:33You said you never loved me, so why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?
00:18:44I checked the house.
00:18:46It's all clear.
00:18:47Safe to sleep.
00:18:48Great.
00:18:49Thanks.
00:18:50I'm going to go to bed now.
00:19:17Shit.
00:19:26Sorry.
00:19:28I thought you were in danger.
00:19:30Just hand me that towel.
00:19:47It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:19:55Be professional.
00:19:57I'm still your boss, remember?
00:20:04Yes, ma'am.
00:20:27You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:29And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:48Ace, I have some scar cream for you.
00:20:50Yeah, just hold on a second.
00:20:51One minute.
00:20:57Hey, what's up?
00:20:59Hey.
00:21:02Just have something for the scars.
00:21:06I can put it on.
00:21:18I'm surprised that you still want to show this much care for me still.
00:21:25Get out.
00:21:26Get out for yourself.
00:21:27Get out for yourself.
00:21:28I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:21:31Why not calm yourself?
00:21:32He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:21:36Okay.
00:21:40Hold on.
00:21:48Hey, 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.
00:21:57Just sitting.
00:21:58It's how I sit.
00:22:00I call V.S.
00:22:01Let me see it.
00:22:14What if I'm hiding something under there?
00:22:18Maybe I'm hiding a boner.
00:22:21See it.
00:22:31You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:22:32You're my bodyguard.
00:22:34We should keep things professional.
00:22:38Good night.
00:22:42Good night.
00:22:46You're right, Elena.
00:22:48I'm just your bodyguard.
00:23:00Elena, I 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.
00:23:13Look, I can do it myself.
00:23:16I can do it myself.
00:23:22Pam?
00:23:23Oh, God, it.
00:23:42Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:23:46That's right.
00:23:50Okay, uh, 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.
00:24:04He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:24:08Chad, I'm leaving this to you.
00:24:11Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb,
00:24:13and Pearson HealthCare is ours.
00:24:15Consider it done.
00:24:21Oh, my God.
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 remember.
00:24:32But I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral,
00:24:35so can we take a brain check?
00:24:36Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:24:40You'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.
00:24:54You know what, let's do dinner.
00:25:01Great.
00:25:15Sir, this is a table for two.
00:25:20Why don't you go sit over there?
00:25:43I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:25:45I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times,
00:25:47but thanks for checking in.
00:25:58Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:26:00You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:26:01Go ahead.
00:26:07I'm not allowed.
00:26:0882 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.
00:26:21I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:26:25Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Alana's bodyguard,
00:26:29I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:26:35My apologies.
00:26:38Alana.
00:26:42I know how tough it's been for you.
00:26:44And I want you to know that I'm here for you.
00:26:48Always.
00:26:49And that my heart belongs to you.
00:26:55Sorry, Chad, I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:27:00Can we eat?
00:27:02I'm starving.
00:27:03Yeah, Sam.
00:27:06The mango salad.
00:27:11Oh, hey, Sam, sorry about that.
00:27:14She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:27:16Do you mind bringing out another plate without him?
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.
00:27:51Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:28:19What was that tonight?
00:28:22If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:28:26Maybe 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, Chris.
00:28:38Just go home.
00:28:40Your funeral preparation's to make anyway.
00:28:46I'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.
00:28:57Elena!
00:29:00Elena?
00:29:01Dad!
00:29:02You're back!
00:29:14Dad!
00:29:17What's going on?
00:29:18I'm in my face.
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.
00:29:29One second, he was smiling at me, and then the next.
00:29:41I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:29:45Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:29:56You'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.
00:30:31So you would die for me, but you won't love me.
00:30:41So you would die for me, but you won't love me.
00:31:06Stay with me.
00:31:10So you wanted to keep things provincial.
00:31:14You're my bodyguard.
00:31:16And I'm scared.
00:31:20Stay with me.
00:31:22So I can feel safe.
00:31:41If 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.
00:31:54You know, just in case.
00:31:56Always got to be prepared.
00:31:59What I mean is, in case I die first and you're still in danger, you can...
00:32:05fight your way out.
00:32:08First case scenario.
00:32:14What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:32:24No, 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.
00:32:35And down there.
00:32:37Push as hard as you can.
00:32:43All right, nice.
00:32:47All right, second scenario.
00:32:51What if somebody...
00:32:55had you like this?
00:33:08It's just self-defense training.
00:33:10Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:33:12What's your move?
00:33:16Um, I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:33:21Like, stomping on the foot.
00:33:26Very 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.
00:33:44Starts choking you.
00:33:47Um...
00:33:48You got to be quick.
00:33:49Like this?
00:33:53Use your hips.
00:33:54What?
00:33:56Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:33:58As 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?
00:34:12I just didn't hurt my leg.
00:34:14It's fine.
00:34:15That was a good job.
00:34:16No, you're hurt.
00:34:18What do you mean?
00:34:19Fine.
00:34:19That was good work, though.
00:34:20Seriously.
00:34:21Ace, 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.
00:34:43Ace 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.
00:34:58I'm sorry.
00:34:59Can I ask, is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:35:06Uh-huh.
00:35:07Uh-huh.
00:35:08No.
00:35:09Not-not that I know of.
00:35:10You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:35:14Everyone here knows that there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:35:18And that person is you, Alina.
00:35:23You're mistaken.
00:35:24He doesn't love me at 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.
00:35:39All right, I got to 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?
00:35:52Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:35:52Everything looks great.
00:35:54Okay.
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.
00:36:09I'd say worry.
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.
00:36:21Might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:36:24It's overdue for a replacement.
00:36:26If you keep stalling, you're going to 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 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?
00:37:00Almighty God, in your mercy, turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life and the sorrow of
00:37:08parting into the joy of heaven.
00:37:10Through our Savior, Jesus Christ, who died, rose again, and lives forevermore.
00:37:16Amen.
00:37:22My deepest condolences.
00:37:24May your father rest in peace.
00:37:26If your father knew that to a reckless reform to be tearing his company apart, he would never rest in
00:37:32peace.
00:37:33He was your brother.
00:37:35If you had even a shred of affection for him, you would never say something like that at his funeral.
00:37:40You know, Uncle Houston, I've always wondered, you've been far angrier about the healthcare reforms than my own father's murder.
00:37:47Could it be that you had something to do with his death?
00:37:51That is outrageous slander.
00:37:54How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral?
00:38:06Sorry for your loss.
00:38:36How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral?
00:38:41How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral?
00:38:41That's enough.
00:38:47This was my father's favorite.
00:38:49I got it for him for his birthday, but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:39:04Right here.
00:39:06Not going anywhere.
00:39:14Good night.
00:39:18No.
00:39:20Don't go.
00:39:26Can you promise
00:39:28that you won't leave me again?
00:39:31Promise.
00:39:32I'll never leave you again.
00:39:35Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:39:39Someone that you can't forget.
00:39:41Is that someone me?
00:39:46Tell me, Ace.
00:39:54Yes.
00:39:56That's someone who's you.
00:39:58And it always has been.
00:40:00If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:40:02Look, it's been a long day.
00:40:04I don't think we should talk about it.
00:40:08I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:40:09But you did hurt me.
00:40:12Three years ago, I waited for you to come back and marry me.
00:40:16And then you left me for another woman.
00:40:19You broke my heart.
00:40:21And then you just walked back in my life like nothing happened.
00:40:25No.
00:40:26No.
00:40:27No.
00:40:28No.
00:40:42No.
00:40:47No.
00:40:50No.
00:40:51No.
00:40:51No.
00:40:52No.
00:40:53No.

00:41:53haven't you dealt with that bitch elena yet she's starting to suspect i had something to do with
00:41:58her father's death she's hard to handle a bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her i can never
00:42:04get her alone and make any real progress this will not do she's been lobbying aggressively within the
00:42:10company some of the board are starting to support her reforms if she keeps this up i'll get pushed
00:42:16out of the company what do you want me to do company's annual gala is this weekend elena will
00:42:23undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board what you're going to do is invite her to go
00:42:28as your date and then you're going to propose to her publicly tell her she'll get more support from
00:42:32the board if she's married with a husband we can use the engagement to shift public focus
00:42:37away from her form kill two birds with one stone i like that exactly the media will be there and
00:42:42she
00:42:43won't reject you in front of everyone there's no way she risks taking the company's stock prices
00:42:47again elena i was hoping i would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend
00:43:00i told you mr vegas be chasing this person he's bad for ages his persistence is kind of impressive

00:44:27so make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer yeah
00:44:47elena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses
00:44:50but i believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks forget about that for a
00:44:58moment what we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten
00:45:03given the company's current pr crisis announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image

00:58:04But you have to let me go after.
00:58:06Good.
00:58:07Sign it, then you're free to go.
00:58:11He's lying.
00:58:12As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
00:58:14Think, Elena, think.
00:58:16Hurry up.
00:58:18Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
00:58:23Okay?
00:58:25Jesus.
00:58:34No.
00:58:35I don't want to die.
00:58:36Please, Ace, save me.
00:58:40Now that this job is completed, I can never have to worry about money ever again.
00:58:48Good job.
00:58:50Good job.
00:59:07Drop your weapon or I'll blow her brains out.
00:59:10Ace, don't do it.
00:59:12Drop your weapon!
00:59:20Good job.
00:59:21Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:59:23Go ahead.
00:59:38No.
00:59:40No.
00:59:41Ah!
00:59:43Ah!
00:59:45No!
00:59:46No!
00:59:47No!
00:59:50Are you crazy?
00:59:51He had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after him.
00:59:55I thought I lost you.
00:59:57It's going to be okay.
01:00:01I knew exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.
01:00:04It's over.
01:00:09No!
01:00:10Ah!
01:00:11Ah!
01:00:19Okay, just get me a medic.
01:00:20I don't want to die.
01:00:21You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers.
01:00:23So talk!
01:00:26It was Houston!
01:00:27It was Houston!
01:00:28He paid me to kill Carter.
01:00:30The kid, Emelina.
01:00:32Ah, there's proof.
01:00:33Where?
01:00:33My left jacket pocket.
01:00:35Just drink it!
01:00:37Ah!
01:00:40Ah!
01:00:41Ah!
01:00:41Ah!
01:00:43Ah!
01:00:50Ah!
01:00:50Why would he murder his own brother?
01:00:52My father's been nothing but kind to him.
01:00:59Cups are on the way.
01:01:02Everything's fine.
01:01:02Yes, I don't understand.
01:01:04Houston was the company's second 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 going to have to live with that image scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of
01:01:20my life.
01:01:21Some people just want more.
01:01:23And it's never enough.
01:01:24They're just greedy and they're monsters and you never have to think about them again, okay?
01:01:28It's over.
01:01:30It's over.
01:01:35I'm not going to go.
01:01:36Hey.
01:01:37Let's go.
01:01:49Please pull over.
01:01:51What's wrong?
01:01:53Your arm, it's bleeding.
01:01:55Didn't you notice?
01:01:56No, I didn't notice.
01:01:57It must have happened during the fight.
01:01:59You're unbelievable.
01:02:02It's fine.
01:02:04Just pull over right up there.
01:02:05It's fine.
01:02:06No, I'll take care of it.
01:02:07We'll stop for a bit.
01:02:20Aiz, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
01:02:25Why not?
01:02:25Come on.
01:02:26Tell me the truth or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel
01:02:30it.
01:02:37Hey, look, I screwed up.
01:02:39But that's in the past.
01:02:41I just want to move forward, okay?
01:02:44Please be honest with me.
01:02:45Do you still love me?
01:02:47Come on, don't try and dodge the question.
01:02:51Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't.
01:02:53You charged right in to save me.
01:02:55If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
01:03:02I love you.
01:03:04I always 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.
01:03:23Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
01:03:26I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.
01:03:37Today we're here to talk about my health care reform strategy.
01:03:41You can't even handle your personal life.
01:03:43The news came out, and this company's stock prices fell another five points.
01:03:48And yet you still think you can push through reforms.
01:03:52I'm the first to object.
01:03:54Elena, do you know how the other health care companies are mocking us?
01:03:57They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.
01:04:04Uncle Houston, if my scandals are causing such problems for the company,
01:04:09how do you plan to account for the damages that your actions have caused?
01:04:15Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:04:21Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:04:27That's slander.
01:04:29Your father was killed by an angry citizen who is dissatisfied with the current health care system.
01:04:34What does that have to do with me?
01:04:40Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson, and the five million dollars is yours.
01:04:48I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson,
01:04:52and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
01:05:01I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.
01:05:08You murdered my father and tried to kill me.
01:05:11You need to pay for your crimes.
01:05:14You need to pay for your crimes.
01:05:16Who do you think you are?
01:05:17Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
01:05:20I gave everything to this company.
01:05:23Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson,
01:05:26inherit this company?
01:05:28What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?
01:05:31This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology
01:05:35that increased our claim denial rate to 40%,
01:05:38the highest in the industry.
01:05:40And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this.
01:05:44He deserved to die.
01:05:46Every accomplishment you've made has been riding off the coattails of struggling people
01:05:52and my father's life.
01:05:53And you show no remorse for them.
01:05:56You're a monster.
01:05:59Don't move.
01:06:03Raise your hands.
01:06:07Houston Pearson, you're on arrest for first-degree murder.
01:06:39You're on arrest for first-degree murder.
01:06:44All those in favor of implementing my healthcare reform strategy, raise your hand.
01:07:08Very well.
01:07:09It seems the majority has voted yes.
01:07:12I declare that the healthcare reform plan with the slogan deliver, declare, and disclose
01:07:18has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.
01:07:43Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.
01:07:47Bring it in, guys.
01:07:51Congrats, you two.
01:07:52Looks like you guys are officially back together.
01:07:55Should I be planning your reunion party?
01:07:57Yeah, that's enough.
01:07:58That's enough.
01:07:58Oh, Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.
01:08:04Aw.
01:08:07Thank you so much, guys.
01:08:09If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my healthcare reform plan would have passed.
01:08:14Especially you, Ace.
01:08:17I don't know what I would have done without you.
01:08:22Well, I'll, um, always be your rock.
01:08:28Cheers!
01:08:29Heck yeah.
01:08:42Hey.
01:08:43Hey.
01:08:45Were you looking for me?
01:08:47Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal and he's trying to make everyone join him.
01:08:53Oliver's keeping me an eye on him.
01:08:55I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.
01:08:58I guess I have to reserve all my energy for you.
01:09:06Mr. Atkins, your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.
01:09:12What's next on your agenda?
01:09:14I have a few ideas.
01:09:46What's wrong?
01:09:51What's wrong?
01:09:53Nothing.
01:09:54Just, um, I 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?
01:10:16I 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.
01:10:28Fuck.
01:10:31God, I'm an asshole.
01:10:32Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:11:02Please.
01:11:03Hey, it's okay. It's okay. He's dead
01:11:14Oh
01:11:18My god, miss Pearson. I'm going to call an ambulance
01:11:29Is he gonna be okay doctor
01:11:47All right, I 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
01:12:05By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room
01:12:15Officer what's going on with the assassin? Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:12:24According to our investigation Chad Vega one of your company's executives has been involved in a long-term
01:12:30Illegal financial crimes with Houston the killer was hired by him
01:12:37Chad was in cahoots with Houston ten minutes ago. We apprehended Chad at his residence
01:12:43You can rest assured that with Houston's testimony all related individuals have been arrested
01:12:48You're safe
01:12:50Considering your bodyguard was injured the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over
01:12:58You can rest
01:12:59You can rest
01:13:00I'm gonna pick up ace's clothes and I'll be back tomorrow morning
01:13:05Ace?
01:13:17Dear elena the bodyguard mission is complete and you're no longer in danger. So it's time for me to leave
01:13:23Just wanted to say goodbye, and I wish you all the best
01:13:28ace
01:13:31You're leaving me again. I won't let you leave without an explanation
01:14:00It's her the woman that ace cheated on me with
01:14:04So you're a physical therapist
01:14:08That's your daughter and husband yes
01:14:11I'm so sorry. I deceived you three years ago. You didn't date ace. So why did you help him deceive
01:14:17me?
01:14:18This involves ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information
01:14:22But alina, I assure you ace did not betray you
01:14:27Then why?
01:14:29Why did he lie to me make me hate him and break up with me?
01:14:33I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself
01:14:38But I think that deep down ace 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 ace isn't at the hospital and he just left me a note. Do you know where he is?
01:14:59What?
01:15:01Does he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:15:09What do you mean prosthetic leg?
01:15:12Oh
01:15:13I was supposed to say that Josh what do you mean prosthetic?
01:15:20Three years ago ace's leg was blown off during combat your father
01:15:25Told him that a disabled person would only burden you
01:15:29So he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you
01:15:33Later after you got his prosthetic leg
01:15:36He still felt like a disabled person. He thought a great girl like you deserved better
01:15:41So he 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
01:15:51Go find him
01:15:52Elena
01:15:53Ace you jerk
01:15:55How could you keep something so important from me?
01:15:58This time I won't let you go. I won't let you walk away again
01:16:04Fortunately you came in time
01:16:05The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves
01:16:08With treatment you should recover naturally
01:16:12This one is newly made for you. Try it
01:16:15Thanks
01:16:49This is the secret you've been keeping for me
01:16:52This is why you've been pushing me away
01:16:55What are you doing here?
01:16:57You shouldn't be here. You need to leave
01:17:02This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:17:06Elena
01:17:08You shouldn't be seeing me like this. I need you to leave right now
01:17:11Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:17:13Do you really think that little of me?
01:17:17That I'm just a shallow unsupportive partner?
01:17:20How was I supposed to tell you this Elena? How?
01:17:22I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:17:29Huh? I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to
01:17:33Three years ago. I mean, you don't know how this feels. Okay. I mean, just fucking look at me. Elena.
01:17:37I can't even stand up straight
01:17:38But I love you
01:17:42Ace, can't you see?
01:17:45No matter how you feel about yourself. I have always loved you always
01:17:54Why not come on? Why?
01:17:56Just stop pushing me away
01:18:00Ace Atkins, you listen to me right now
01:18:05You have left me so many times
01:18:09You can't keep running from me. I am here to stay
01:18:15Got it
01:18:16I love you so much. I'm sorry
01:18:35I'm sorry
01:18:37Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:18:39Come on, don't try and be tough
01:18:40No, this one's more comfortable than the last one actually
01:18:45You know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this. I'm disabled and I might become a
01:18:53burden to you when we're older. Have you thought about that?
01:18:57If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off
01:19:03I love Ace Atkins
01:19:05The person, not the leg
01:19:08So what if you're missing a leg? I will love you all the same
01:19:11Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:19:16No, no, of course not
01:19:19I'll always be by your side
01:19:21Then let me do the same
01:19:25I am choosing you, okay?
01:19:30I am choosing you, okay?
01:19:44Got it
01:19:44Ms. Pearson
01:19:47Your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life
01:19:52Thank you
01:19:55Ms. Pearson, your healthcare reform plan has been a great success making you the most popular CEO in the US
01:20:01What made you insist on healthcare reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:20:05I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success partly due to great planning, but also because of
01:20:13my fiance
01:20:15Ace Atkins
01:20:17His love helped me overcome all difficulties
01:20:23Not because from community sector in the US
01:20:24Come to be sick
01:20:24A
