Short filmTranscript
00:00:06My name is Julian Mitchell, captain of the Apex Strike Team.
00:00:11I'm staring down 300 drug cartel gunmen.
00:00:20Captain, mission's done. Let's move.
00:00:24You all fall back. I'm avenging Owen.
00:00:35I survived hell on the battlefield only to get cornered by a woman three months later.
00:00:51No way. It's just a few pieces of clothing.
00:00:53Please cooperate for a check.
00:00:58What happened?
00:01:03There really is something!
00:01:09Take your clothes off.
00:01:12What's actually on the guy?
00:01:19I'm Julian Mitchell. I've served for eight years, captain of the Apex Strike Team.
00:01:30Oh, jeez. Look at all these scars on him. He's definitely been through a lot.
00:01:36Hold on. There's a bullet lodged in his spine, stuck right between the bones.
00:01:40A bullet? Did I hear that right? And he's still alive?
00:01:47Miss, can I go now? My flight was about to take off.
00:01:58I do my best to hide these scars, just to reunite with my sister.
00:02:08But all I see are unfamiliar skyscrapers.
00:02:11After ten years on secret missions, I have no idea how my family is doing.
00:02:17All right, here we are. This is the old neighborhood, yeah?
00:02:38Stop it! Calm down!
00:02:41Oh no! Who is he? How did he get in? I'm not even wearing clothes.
00:02:46Oh, God! What do I do?
00:02:49Who are you? Why are you in my house?
00:02:55I double-checked. And I'm definitely in the right place.
00:03:05I've got to figure out who this strange woman is.
00:03:10This can't be good.
00:03:11You bastard! I'm going to kill you!
00:03:18Wait! I can explain!
00:03:19Explain? Save it! You're done for!
00:03:23Wait. Just put the knife down.
00:03:36My knife!
00:03:37I'm not a bad guy. I'm Julian Mitchell.
00:03:41This is my old house.
00:03:43I came back to find my sister.
00:03:48Ruby Mitchell.
00:03:49You're Ruby's brother, the soldier?
00:04:00I'm Serenity Shaw. Ruby's homeroom teacher.
00:04:03She's Ruby's teacher.
00:04:04Then where's Ruby?
00:04:06Mrs. Shaw?
00:04:07Do you know where Ruby is?
00:04:14Ruby.
00:04:17She...
00:04:17She...
00:04:18She's at the hospital.
00:04:19She's not doing well.
00:04:28Don't worry. I'm here.
00:04:30The doctor said she'll be fine.
00:04:31If we can find a kidney.
00:04:33She's a sweet kid.
00:04:35Always talking about you.
00:04:37Go on in.
00:04:52Julian.
00:04:55Julian.
00:04:57Ruby, I'm back.
00:04:58And I'm never leaving again.
00:05:05Julian.
00:05:07Our mom.
00:05:08She passed away.
00:05:09She's buried at Eckery Hill Cemetery.
00:05:11She...
00:05:12She didn't want me to tell you.
00:05:18Are you Ruby Mitchell's family?
00:05:20The director needs to see you in his office.
00:05:23We found a suitable kidney.
00:05:25Really?
00:05:26I'll be right there.
00:05:33The surgery and recovery will cost at least a million dollars.
00:05:38We can only keep the kidney for seven days.
00:05:47Five years in hell.
00:05:49And all I have is $137,000.
00:05:51I need to come up with a million.
00:05:54No matter what it takes.
00:05:57Security guard.
00:05:59$3,500 a month.
00:06:02Construction worker.
00:06:03$200 a day.
00:06:05Compared to a million.
00:06:06That's just a drop in the bucket.
00:06:16What's your education?
00:06:18Any sales experience?
00:06:20Middle school diploma.
00:06:22But are you kidding me?
00:06:23Get lost.
00:06:25Don't waste my time.
00:06:40Miss.
00:06:41Miss, are you alright?
00:06:44Who the hell are you?
00:06:45I don't even know you.
00:06:47Get your hands off me.
00:06:58Let me go.
00:07:00Help.
00:07:00Hey, beautiful.
00:07:02Why don't you come have some fun with us in the alley?
00:07:08I wasn't going to get involved.
00:07:10But I can't just watch these scumbags mess with a woman.
00:07:18Leave her alone.
00:07:22Leave her alone.
00:07:23Leave her alone.
00:07:24Trying to be a hero, huh?
00:07:26You're biting off more than you can shoot.
00:07:28Be smart and get lost or I'll make you regret it.
00:07:31Scumbags.
00:07:42Are you okay?
00:07:43Yeah, I'm okay.
00:07:45Thank you for saving me.
00:07:48I'm freaked out.
00:07:49Um, I've had a few drinks.
00:07:51Could you walk me home?
00:07:52I'm Hayley Chapman.
00:07:53Um, so what's your name?
00:07:57Julian Mitchell.
00:08:07I'm sorry.
00:08:09I didn't mean to.
00:08:11Let me wipe it off for you.
00:08:15Sorry, I grabbed the wrong thing.
00:08:17Um, my place isn't far from here.
00:08:19Why don't you come over and get cleaned up?
00:08:20I can find you some clean clothes.
00:08:24All right.
00:08:37What's your number?
00:08:39I'll wash and iron your clothes.
00:08:42Then return them to you tomorrow.
00:08:44That's okay.
00:08:45I can wash them myself.
00:08:46It's getting late.
00:08:47I should get going.
00:08:54No matter what, I'll get the money for your treatment.
00:09:03Seeing her week like that breaks my heart.
00:09:15Beat me.
00:09:17Or beat everyone else here.
00:09:19And you're in.
00:09:20I'm not here to waste time.
00:09:21My expected annual salary is one million.
00:09:25This twig wants a million?
00:09:41Now you know I'm not just all talk.
00:09:47What's your name?
00:09:56I'm not hiring a bodyguard for myself, but for my daughter.
00:10:06It's a million dollars a year for round-the-clock close protection.
00:10:11Are you up for it?
00:10:13Are you up for it?
00:10:13I am.
00:10:14As I said that, all I could think was, with that kind of money to save Ruby, I'd protect
00:10:19whoever it is with my life, no matter the cost.
00:10:22Good.
00:10:23Sign it.
00:10:27Sir, I have one request.
00:10:29I'd like to receive my first year's salary in advance.
00:10:31All right.
00:10:33I trust you.
00:10:43With that money, Ruby can get the treatment.
00:10:46She can have the surgery.
00:10:48All the hardship was worth it.
00:10:50And there she was.
00:10:52This beautiful woman in front of me is the person I'm assigned to protect.
00:10:56The CEO of Pickfia Group, Gianna Palmer.
00:10:59Who are you?
00:11:02Who are you?
00:11:03And what are you doing in my dad's office?
00:11:06Gianna, this is the bodyguard I hired for you, Julian.
00:11:09Some suspicious people have been spotted near the company.
00:11:11Your safety is my top priority.
00:11:13He'll be providing you with around-the-clock protection.
00:11:15Dad, are you crazy?
00:11:17I don't need a bodyguard, and I definitely don't need some stranger following me at all times.
00:11:21You can have your way on everything else, but on this, I need you to listen to me.
00:11:30This is insane.
00:11:32I have to get rid of this blockhead.
00:11:40Whatever my dad is paying you, I'll double it.
00:11:43Just take the money and leave.
00:11:44Pretend you were never here.
00:11:48I've already signed a contract with your dad.
00:11:50Three million dollars.
00:11:51Four million.
00:11:52Five million.
00:11:53Six million.
00:11:54I'll give you six million!
00:11:55Now get out of my sight!
00:11:56Looks like she is quite a character, but I just need to do my job.
00:12:00The rest is none of my concern.
00:12:02Fine.
00:12:03So you've got some backbone, huh?
00:12:06I'm heading back to the office now.
00:12:07Let's see you try and keep up.
00:12:09No way a guy on foot is keeping up with my million-dollar sports car.
00:12:13You won't need my damn life.
00:12:16No matter where you run, I will keep up.
00:12:27Are you even human?
00:12:28She's going into the underground parking garage alone.
00:12:31If there's an ambush, it could get ugly.
00:12:33I have to get in there.
00:12:35He actually caught up.
00:12:36Who is this guy anyway?
00:12:41Stop.
00:12:42Who are you?
00:12:44This is a private building.
00:12:47Get lost if you've got no business here.
00:12:49Please, let me in.
00:12:50I'm a private bodyguard.
00:12:52My client just drove into the underground garage.
00:12:54I have to make sure she's safe.
00:12:56A bodyguard?
00:12:57We weren't notified.
00:12:59Stop lying and get out of here.
00:13:02I bet you're a thief trying to case the joint.
00:13:05This is a high-end office building.
00:13:08Not for scum like you.
00:13:09You're really asking for it, you little punk.
00:13:11What are you standing here for?
00:13:14You want me to have security toss you out?
00:13:20That hurts!
00:13:21Let go!
00:13:22You son of a bitch, let me go!
00:13:24I just need to find Gianna.
00:13:25As for this clown, I'm barely even trying.
00:13:27If you get in my way again, it's going to hurt a lot worse.
00:13:30You bastard!
00:13:31Everyone, grab your batons and get to the main gate right now!
00:13:35Someone's trying to force his way in.
00:13:36Get over here and take him down!
00:13:48This is hardly a warm-up.
00:13:50You think you can take on all 20 of us alone?
00:13:52We'll break your legs!
00:13:53Get lost!
00:13:54Get lost!
00:13:54Get lost!
00:13:58Is it that hard to take you guys down?
00:14:01Get him!
00:14:02Beat the hell out of him!
00:14:04I'll take the blame for whatever happens!
00:14:07Yeah!
00:14:09What's going on?
00:14:10Are they going to beat that guy up?
00:14:12Holy crap!
00:14:13Who is that guy?
00:14:15You're asking for it, you punk.
00:14:17Guys, get him!
00:14:25Damn!
00:14:26He's a total badass!
00:14:27Taking on the entire security team by himself!
00:14:36Stop!
00:14:37I think she's the woman I saved.
00:14:39She seems really important.
00:14:40Julian, are you okay?
00:14:42Are you hurt?
00:14:43They didn't do anything to you, did they?
00:14:45I'm fine.
00:14:46Don't worry.
00:14:47They can't hurt me.
00:14:53Lincoln, what were you thinking?
00:14:55Having your men gang up on one person like that?
00:14:57He's my friend!
00:14:58And he was just looking for me.
00:15:01Miss Chapman, this is a misunderstanding.
00:15:03I didn't know he was your friend.
00:15:05My apologies.
00:15:06I'm so sorry.
00:15:08Please forgive me.
00:15:10I almost offended someone important.
00:15:13Who is she, really?
00:15:28Julian, are you here for me?
00:15:31Looking at this woman who was wasted last night,
00:15:35I wonder why she's asking that.
00:15:40No.
00:15:41Then what are you doing here?
00:15:44I'm a bodyguard.
00:15:48Don't tell me you work for Gianna.
00:15:52Hayley, how'd it go?
00:15:54Did you get rid of that annoying guy?
00:15:56I never want to see him again.
00:16:00Julian, you've breached the contract.
00:16:02You're fired.
00:16:03Your dad signed the contract.
00:16:05He's the only one who can fire me.
00:16:10I don't want to see you right now.
00:16:14Get out.
00:16:18So annoying.
00:16:20He just won't leave me alone.
00:16:26Well, this is getting interesting.
00:16:33I'm Adeline Foster, Ms. Palmer's secretary.
00:16:36This is your office.
00:16:37Okay.
00:16:38Let me know if you need anything.
00:16:40Thanks.
00:16:42Life's way too easy now.
00:16:44A total 180 from how it used to be.
00:16:46A seven-figure salary.
00:16:48An air-conditioned office.
00:16:50But I know this job isn't as easy as it looks.
00:16:54Gianna is surrounded by danger.
00:17:08No more smoking outside my office.
00:17:11This is a place of business.
00:17:13Not your personal smoking lounge.
00:17:16Yes, Ms. Palmer.
00:17:28Gianna, you're finally off.
00:17:29I've been waiting for you.
00:17:31Let's go get some dinner.
00:17:32Sorry, Luke.
00:17:33I'm busy tonight.
00:17:34And please, stop showing up here.
00:17:37This is my assistant, Julian Mitchell.
00:17:43Good to see you, Julian.
00:17:44Julian, let's go.
00:17:54This guy who totally looks like a trust fund kid
00:17:56is holding a bouquet of roses waiting for my client.
00:17:59Gianna, you're free tonight, right?
00:18:01Let me take you out for dinner.
00:18:02I've already booked a table.
00:18:04Hey, you.
00:18:04What do you think you're doing?
00:18:06I'm Ms. Palmer's personal bodyguard.
00:18:07Of course, I'm getting in the car.
00:18:09You?
00:18:10This idiot seems to be trying to show off in front of Gianna,
00:18:13but he picked the wrong guy.
00:18:14A bodyguard?
00:18:15Don't get my car dirty.
00:18:17Get lost.
00:18:20You better keep your hands to yourself.
00:18:23Still trying to act tough, huh?
00:18:25So what if I do get physical?
00:18:27The crowd watches as Luke spins a full 720 degrees in the air
00:18:32from the sheer force of the slap.
00:18:39You!
00:18:40You're gonna regret this!
00:18:42I won't let you get away with it!
00:18:49Shit, you hit me!
00:18:51My car!
00:18:52I just bought this!
00:18:54Security!
00:18:54Where the hell is everybody?
00:18:56Get this bastard!
00:18:57I want him in jail!
00:18:59Wait, Luke.
00:19:00It's a misunderstanding.
00:19:01He's my distant relative.
00:19:03He just came from the countryside.
00:19:04He doesn't know any better.
00:19:05What?
00:19:05A distant relative?
00:19:07Him?
00:19:08Gianna, since when do you have a distant relative like this?
00:19:10I've never heard you mention him.
00:19:12It's true.
00:19:13He's a distant cousin.
00:19:14I've known him since we were kids.
00:19:16He didn't know what he was doing just now.
00:19:17Please, don't stoop to his level.
00:19:19I'll make it up to you.
00:19:20I'll make a reservation at your favorite restaurant, okay?
00:19:22I'm not apologizing to someone like that.
00:19:24Why is Gianna so nervous?
00:19:26She even glared at me.
00:19:27What are you waiting for?
00:19:28Let's go.
00:19:44Julian, do you have any idea who you just messed with?
00:19:48That was Luke Watson, heir to the Watson Group.
00:19:51His father is Wyatt Watson, chairman of Sruestol Realty.
00:19:55You hit him, and you wrecked his car?
00:19:57He is not going to let this go.
00:20:01Here, take this.
00:20:03That's two million dollars.
00:20:04It's more than enough to start over anywhere.
00:20:07You're leaving the city.
00:20:08Tonight.
00:20:09My duty is to protect you.
00:20:12Don't worry about Luke coming after me.
00:20:14Take this back.
00:20:15You!
00:20:16Why are you being so stubborn?
00:20:19His father is Wyatt Watson, that big shot from Sruestol Realty!
00:20:25It doesn't matter if it's Wyatt Watson or anyone else.
00:20:29Like I said, my only job is to protect you.
00:20:43Fuck!
00:20:43Fuck!
00:20:43Fuck!
00:20:45Fuck!
00:20:55Fuck.
00:21:06Listen up, Julian.
00:21:08Don't push your luck.
00:21:10You want money?
00:21:11Name your price.
00:21:13Just take the money and disappear.
00:21:16After that, you're on your own.
00:21:21Julian, I'm going home now.
00:21:23Are you going to follow me?
00:21:23My job is to ensure you have round-the-clock security.
00:21:26I live alone, and you, a grown man, are following me constantly.
00:21:28I need my space.
00:21:29I won't enter your home or disturb your life.
00:21:31I'll just guard you from outside.
00:21:39She was furious, but I couldn't leave.
00:21:42There are people lurking in the dark.
00:21:44The moment I step away, she could be in danger.
00:21:55Julian, what exactly are you trying to do?
00:21:58Miss Palmer.
00:21:59Do you really have to push me like this?
00:22:02I'm just doing my job.
00:22:06Is that so?
00:22:15A bodyguard posts at my door overnight?
00:22:16People will think there's been a break-in.
00:22:18It's just my job.
00:22:19You blockhead.
00:22:21If you freeze solid out here, I'll be the one dealing with the cops.
00:22:23I'm saying this one last time.
00:22:25Get inside.
00:22:25But seeing her so angry and worried, I just couldn't refuse.
00:22:32You'll stay in this room.
00:22:33My bedroom's upstairs, and you're not allowed up there without my permission.
00:22:37Thank you, Miss Palmer.
00:22:38No worries.
00:22:39Even if it was just a stray animal outside, I'd feel sorry for it.
00:22:47Julian, I have a boyfriend, and we're getting engaged soon.
00:22:50So don't get any funny ideas about me.
00:22:53You're my employee.
00:22:54That's all.
00:22:56Funny ideas?
00:22:57The only thing on my mind is Ruby's surgery.
00:23:00I don't have time for that kind of nonsense.
00:23:06Trust me, Miss Palmer.
00:23:07I know the boundaries.
00:23:09Good.
00:23:10My boyfriend is very possessive.
00:23:13So, you'd better stay in your lane.
00:23:16Miss Palmer, um...
00:23:17Just say it.
00:23:18Stop hemming and howling like a schoolgirl.
00:23:22Well, your belt is coming undone.
00:23:26Julian, you did that on purpose.
00:23:28You just wanted to embarrass me.
00:23:30No.
00:23:31I just noticed it.
00:23:33Get out.
00:23:34Right now.
00:23:35Immediately.
00:23:37Freeze to death.
00:23:38Good riddus.
00:23:41Last night, I accidentally caught Gianna exposed.
00:23:45Since she woke up, she haven't said a word.
00:23:48Get in the car.
00:23:51What's her deal?
00:23:53I sprint after the car, but the old wound in my back starts throbbing, and I can't catch up.
00:23:59A taxi comes by.
00:24:01I rush into the middle of the road and stand right in front of it.
00:24:04The taxi has no choice, but to switch to a stop.
00:24:08What the hell, man?
00:24:09You got a death wish?
00:24:11What's the rush?
00:24:12Why chase after that car?
00:24:15Oh, God.
00:24:17Move over.
00:24:18I'm driving.
00:24:20Whoa, whoa.
00:24:22Whoa.
00:24:25Slow down.
00:24:27Look, I'm sorry.
00:24:28Just slow down.
00:24:29The taxi engine gave out just as I arrived at Gianna's company.
00:24:33She'd led me on a long chase just to vent her anger.
00:24:38Help, please.
00:24:42Help, please.
00:24:49Help.
00:24:50He's harassing me.
00:24:52Someone help me.
00:25:05Thank you so much.
00:25:07I was almost assaulted by him.
00:25:09Sir, no.
00:25:11It's not what you think.
00:25:12Forget it.
00:25:13I should just get back to following Gianna.
00:25:15Get lost.
00:25:18May I ask your name?
00:25:21I have to go.
00:25:26Does he seriously not recognize me?
00:25:29I'm a celebrity, after all.
00:25:38Never thought I'd run into a celebrity while driving this beat-up cab.
00:25:42Even if asking for a signature caused a bit of a mix-up,
00:25:44it was totally worth it.
00:25:46That was awesome.
00:25:47Those two were so weird.
00:25:49Whatever.
00:25:50None of my business.
00:25:54So that woman's a celebrity,
00:25:56and the cabbie was on top of her because he was asking for an autograph.
00:25:59He said he was going home.
00:26:00Not to chat with a girl.
00:26:10Hey, handsome.
00:26:12Can I get your number?
00:26:14How did a hick like you even get in here?
00:26:16Look at what you're wearing.
00:26:17You think you belong at the PICFIA group?
00:26:20Security, get him out.
00:26:22Another snob, judging people just by their clothes.
00:26:26How pathetic.
00:26:31Taylor, this is Julian Mitchell, Ms. Palmer's assistant.
00:26:40Julian, I'm so sorry.
00:26:43I shouldn't have called you a hick.
00:26:46I was being a complete snob.
00:26:48Please, forgive me.
00:26:50Please, forgive me.
00:26:51Clothes and diplomas don't define a person.
00:26:53Don't let it happen again.
00:27:04Ruby, I got a job, so I can't be with you all the time.
00:27:14Julian, you're only doing this to pay for my surgery.
00:27:18I'm the one who should be sorry.
00:27:24Gianna didn't have me dress up just for show.
00:27:27She needed me to go with her to inspect the factory.
00:27:29As her assistant and bodyguard, I have to look sharp at all times.
00:27:43He has such a great profile.
00:27:46The way he smokes is so cool.
00:27:49Julian, quit showing off.
00:27:50Gianna is looking for you.
00:27:52Come on.
00:27:55Julian, can we get your number?
00:27:57Let's keep in touch.
00:28:03You must be feeling pretty pleased with yourself.
00:28:05These people are ridiculous.
00:28:07I just want to do my job and make money for Ruby's treatment.
00:28:10Why did she say that?
00:28:12Miss Palmer, what did you say?
00:28:18I have to stay with you.
00:28:20It's my job.
00:28:31I can clearly smell her fae perfume and feel how soft her waist is.
00:28:36She's blushing.
00:28:38My heart starts racing, and for a moment, I completely forget to let go.
00:28:44Julian, you did this on purpose.
00:28:46I'm going to tell my dad to fire you.
00:28:48Fine, fire me.
00:28:51Oh, crap.
00:28:56Julian!
00:29:04Thank God she's fine.
00:29:08You...
00:29:10You...
00:29:14Can we hold off on firing me till I recover from my injury?
00:29:19Why did you do that?
00:29:24Someone paid me $3,000.
00:29:27Did you scare Miss Palmer?
00:29:29$3,000?
00:29:31That's all a life is worth?
00:29:32I was too nervous.
00:29:34I went overboard with the force.
00:29:36I'm not calling the police, but you're fired.
00:29:40My wife has cancer, and my daughter's in college.
00:29:46She's hesitating.
00:29:47I think I'm seeing a softer side to her.
00:29:51She's the first person to make me feel like there's still some good in this world.
00:29:55Is he still bleeding?
00:29:56We're going to the Ryodo Hospital.
00:29:57You should get that head wound checked out.
00:30:01She's worried about me.
00:30:02Ryodo Hospital.
00:30:03Okay.
00:30:09You idiot.
00:30:11You didn't even do anything about your wound.
00:30:13Even the doctors were shocked.
00:30:15I got hit by something so heavy, but walked away with just a few scratches.
00:30:21Where to next, Miss Palmer?
00:30:24Take me home first, then you can head to the Uriana Villain.
00:30:27Hayley is waiting for you there.
00:30:29When did she accept Hayley's dinner invitation for me?
00:30:31If you're not going, then neither am I.
00:30:35You.
00:30:36I'm giving you the night off.
00:30:38I'll lock everything up, and I'll be perfectly safe.
00:30:44We haven't found the person behind the attack at the factory.
00:30:48I have to stay with you.
00:30:50Are you going or not?
00:30:52I'm not.
00:30:55So stubborn.
00:31:06Who are you people?
00:31:10My buddies are looking for some cash.
00:31:13Don't put up a fight.
00:31:16Broad daylight, and you're pulling this robbery stunt?
00:31:20What a naive little princess.
00:31:23Robbery?
00:31:24This is collecting protection money.
00:31:27We've been waiting for a while.
00:31:29So don't make this hard on us.
00:31:32You.
00:31:32Stay away from me.
00:31:39Miss Palmer.
00:31:40Just stay put.
00:31:42You.
00:31:44Be careful.
00:31:46Well, look at the knight in shining armor.
00:31:51This is none of your business.
00:31:53Step aside.
00:31:54Her business is my business.
00:32:03Julian, watch out.
00:32:04They've got knives.
00:32:08Back off if you know what's good for you.
00:32:12Julian catches one thug's wrist and squeezes.
00:32:15The man shrieks in pain, dropping his knife.
00:32:25And just like that, I understood why Gianna's dad hired me.
00:32:30She's made plenty of enemies.
00:32:34You've got some moves.
00:32:36Too bad you ran into me.
00:32:37I was a freaking champion fighter back in the day.
00:32:41Today, you'll learn what happens when you mess with the wrong guy.
00:32:44Come on, let's see how tough you really are.
00:32:46Oh, yeah!
00:32:49Julian, look out!
00:32:55What the hell?
00:32:56Are you made of stone?
00:32:58You're hard as hell!
00:32:59David!
00:33:01Who sent you?
00:33:02Nobody sent us.
00:33:03You know damn well who you've offended.
00:33:05In Shrustal, there are a lot of people you don't want to cross.
00:33:08The name.
00:33:09They didn't give us a name.
00:33:11We just got paid, straight, to teach this woman a lesson.
00:33:17There's someone hiding behind the pillar to my right.
00:33:21I snatch at her shoulder, but she's faster.
00:33:24She pivots and traps my wrist in a vice-like grip.
00:33:27I wrench my arm free, reversing the grip to seize her wrist.
00:33:31My left hand shoots out, pressing flat against her chest.
00:33:33A woman?
00:33:40You bastard!
00:33:42I'll kill you!
00:33:43It's you.
00:33:45Seems like she's a pro.
00:33:47Go to hell!
00:33:57Who sent you?
00:33:58Are you in with those thugs?
00:34:00Let go of me!
00:34:02Let go!
00:34:03I'm a police officer!
00:34:07You can check it!
00:34:09Hey!
00:34:10Are you deaf?
00:34:11A cop?
00:34:13Then why were you hiding behind the pillar?
00:34:15Officer!
00:34:16Help!
00:34:17He's trying to kill me!
00:34:19Shut up!
00:34:21Stop right there.
00:34:22You need to come back with me for questioning.
00:34:32Did you see that clearly?
00:34:34A cop.
00:34:35Did he just assault a cop?
00:34:37Or did a cop just assault him?
00:34:40A bodyguard who dares to assault a cop.
00:34:43And a cluneless airnress.
00:34:45This case is getting interesting.
00:34:48What a day.
00:34:50Let's go.
00:34:53We'd been at the station for an hour.
00:34:55When she finally showed up.
00:35:04Officer, can I go now?
00:35:06Why is there an eight-year gap in your file?
00:35:11Eight years?
00:35:13Are you a foreign operative?
00:35:14A nightbringer?
00:35:16Did you come back to be Gianna Palmer's bodyguard?
00:35:19What's your mission?
00:35:21How much has she found?
00:35:27That's what you think.
00:35:31Then how do you explain it?
00:35:33I'm a citizen of Ferrora.
00:35:35I was serving in the military.
00:35:37I can't say anything else.
00:35:39More than anyone.
00:35:41I wish those words were true.
00:35:42In the end, there wasn't enough evidence.
00:35:45So Gianna and I were released.
00:35:48What exactly happened today?
00:35:56Wait.
00:35:56That air.
00:35:57I beat the crap out of him that day?
00:36:02Julian.
00:36:03What's wrong?
00:36:06It's nothing.
00:36:07Let's go.
00:36:12Julian, just how many secrets are you hiding?
00:36:16Are you alright?
00:36:18They didn't give you a hard time, did they?
00:36:22Thank goodness you're okay, Julian.
00:36:24I know you're dedicated, but this is just a job.
00:36:26Don't go risking your life again.
00:36:28Don't worry.
00:36:30Don't worry.
00:36:39Julian never made it to the dinner, and I couldn't keep waiting forever, so I came right over.
00:36:43We ran into a few ponies, and Julian took care of them.
00:36:47Looks like this bodyguard of yours really comes in handy.
00:36:56Janna, I need to talk to you.
00:36:59Julian, could you give us a minute?
00:37:11Ruby, I can't come see you tonight.
00:37:13Get some sleep.
00:37:14Don't worry, Julian.
00:37:15Mrs. Shaw came over to keep me company.
00:37:17Once this is all over, I'll be by her side, and we'll never be apart again.
00:37:23Gianna, let's get Julian drunk later.
00:37:25See if we can find out what he used to do.
00:37:27I don't think that's a good idea.
00:37:29Do you really think someone like him would just come clean with you?
00:37:33The only way to get the truth is to get him drunk.
00:37:36They think this little trick is going to work on me?
00:37:41When I was running undercover missions on the border, they were still whining about classes in school.
00:37:55Here.
00:37:56Thank you for saving my life.
00:37:58I'm not a big drinker, and I never drink on the job.
00:38:01You're not in any danger here.
00:38:03Tonight, your only mission is to relax, eat, and have a drink with us.
00:38:10So, Julian, what did you do before this?
00:38:16I was in the army.
00:38:18For how long?
00:38:19Eight years.
00:38:21So why'd you get out?
00:38:23Eight years in the service.
00:38:26The comrades I lost.
00:38:28My mother, who I never saw one last time.
00:38:32And this wound that will never truly heal.
00:38:35How am I supposed to talk about any of that?
00:38:37It's okay.
00:38:39You don't have to answer.
00:38:41Yeah, you're back, and that's all that matters.
00:38:48I got injured during training.
00:38:51I wonder if they're okay over there.
00:38:53The truth is...
00:38:58The ones who were hurt the most are the ones...
00:39:02who can never come back.
00:39:06Oh, let's not talk about this.
00:39:08Come on.
00:39:09Cheers.
00:39:22Are you seeing someone?
00:39:30Have another drink, and I'll tell you.
00:39:32I know all about these rich girls.
00:39:34They can't hold their liquor.
00:39:36This is her limit.
00:39:59I just want to see how gentle Julian really is.
00:40:07Giana watches her sugar intake and only eats sugar-free food.
00:40:11Haley has a sweet tooth.
00:40:14It's the duty of a bodyguard to remember the employer's preferences.
00:40:20What exactly happened last night?
00:40:23We both got drunk and passed out last night.
00:40:26You didn't do anything to us, did you?
00:40:29I'm a bodyguard.
00:40:30My job is to protect you nothing more.
00:40:32Besides, Miss Palmer, you were so drunk last night that you were hugging a vase, yelling,
00:40:36Don't dock my employee's pay.
00:40:38And Miss Chapman, you talked to my dog for half an hour.
00:40:41I didn't even get a chance to stop you.
00:40:43You!
00:40:46Julian, I'm Grayson Anderson, the Director of Human Resources here at the company.
00:40:51So here's the thing.
00:40:52Upper management is going through restructuring lately.
00:40:55I was hoping you could put in a good word for me with Miss Palmer.
00:40:59Mr. Anderson, I'm just a bodyguard.
00:41:01I'm only responsible for Miss Palmer personal safety.
00:41:04I have no say in company appointments.
00:41:06If you do a great job, Miss Palmer will take notice.
00:41:09You don't have to come to me for this.
00:41:21Where are you going, Miss Palmer?
00:41:23I'm going for a hike in the mountains to clear my head.
00:41:26Can you stop following me everywhere?
00:41:28You're like a shadow.
00:41:29I'm sorry, Miss Palmer, but it's my job.
00:41:32Your safety is my responsibility once you step outside this building.
00:41:52Miss Palmer, it's windy up here.
00:41:54Put this on.
00:41:55I'm not wearing your jacket.
00:41:57I have no idea why Gianna's mad again, but I'm used to her saying one thing and mean another.
00:42:04Don't put on an act like you care.
00:42:06Get away from me.
00:42:10Don't put on an act like you care.
00:42:11Ouch, my foot.
00:42:12It hurts so much.
00:42:14You've sprained it.
00:42:15You can't walk like this.
00:42:19Let go of me, Julian.
00:42:21I hate you.
00:42:22I'll carry you down the mountain.
00:42:24Did I allow you to carry me?
00:42:26I can walk on my own.
00:42:29Well, have it your way.
00:42:31If you want to have a limp for the rest of your life, I'll put you down right now.
00:42:41You're bleeding.
00:42:42Put me down now.
00:42:43I can walk on my own.
00:42:44It's just a scratch.
00:42:46I'm fine.
00:42:50The wind's picking up.
00:42:51Put on clothes.
00:42:52Don't catch a cold.
00:43:09Tell me if it hurts.
00:43:11I'll be gentle.
00:43:12Did I whine?
00:43:13It doesn't hurt at all.
00:43:22Why do you have so many scars?
00:43:24You've been shot.
00:43:25Julian, what have you been through?
00:43:26I was a soldier.
00:43:28These are from old missions.
00:43:29It's nothing to look at.
00:43:36It's not appropriate for me to live alone with him.
00:43:40Doesn't Hayley have a thing for him?
00:43:44I'll have her move in.
00:43:46Then I'll have some company, too.
00:43:55I'll keep those days in a hail of bullets a secret from her.
00:43:59What about you?
00:44:00Have you eaten?
00:44:01I had some bread on the way back.
00:44:04From now on, remember to buy enough food for two.
00:44:06I don't want anyone thinking.
00:44:08I won't even give my own bodyguard a proper meal.
00:44:13Gianna!
00:44:14Gianna!
00:44:22What did I do to deserve this from them?
00:44:29It was my first kiss.
00:44:30How could this happen?
00:44:35Julian, you did that on purpose, didn't you?
00:44:37Couldn't you step aside?
00:44:38Were you waiting to take advantage of her?
00:44:40Gianna, it's not Julian's fault.
00:44:42I was running too fast and I slipped.
00:44:45If he hadn't caught me, I would have been badly hurt.
00:44:49He's bleeding?
00:44:50Was the impact really that bad?
00:44:51I'm so sorry.
00:44:52I was being clumsy.
00:44:54You should go take care of your wound before it gets infected.
00:45:17Julian, you're so pathetic.
00:45:25Why are you still staring at that?
00:45:28Turn around!
00:45:35I didn't see anything.
00:45:46Julian, your nose is bleeding.
00:45:52Miss Palmer, Miss Chapnett, I'll let you be.
00:45:55I'll go out for a smoke.
00:45:56I'll be right outside the door.
00:45:58Call me if you need anything.
00:46:03I've faced death on the battlefield and never been this flustered.
00:46:08It's so embarrassing.
00:46:10This is so humiliating.
00:46:12It's over.
00:46:12It's all over.
00:46:14How could he have seen my underwear?
00:46:16Well, who would have thought a fearless woman like you could be so shy?
00:46:20Maybe Julian didn't even think twice about it.
00:46:23Don't you start.
00:46:24This is all your fault.
00:46:25If you hadn't been so clumsy today, none of this would have happened.
00:46:33When will this awkward life ever end?
00:46:37Get ready and take Haley to Osania Translations immediately.
00:46:42She'll be there to help translate a top secret email.
00:46:45The mission is completely confidential.
00:46:48I want no mistakes.
00:46:55Julian, do you have a girlfriend?
00:46:59No.
00:47:04So, what's your type?
00:47:06Do you prefer someone sweet and gentle, or lively and outgoing?
00:47:10I haven't really thought about that.
00:47:14Right now, I just want to focus on my work.
00:47:18Really?
00:47:19Don't your parents ever push you?
00:47:22I'm sure your friends must have told you to find someone.
00:47:26How I wish my parents would urge me to settle down.
00:47:29I wouldn't even hear their nagging in my wildest dreams.
00:47:32They're long gone.
00:47:44Julian, did I say something wrong?
00:47:47Did I bring up something I shouldn't have?
00:47:50No.
00:47:51It's okay.
00:47:54I just accidentally stepped on the gas too hard.
00:48:11Kaley, it's really you.
00:48:13It's been a while.
00:48:15You're still as beautiful as you were in high school.
00:48:17I'm Leo Powell.
00:48:18I sat behind you in high school.
00:48:20I used to borrow your notes.
00:48:24Oh, it's you, Leo.
00:48:26It's been ages.
00:48:28You've changed so much.
00:48:30I almost didn't recognize you.
00:48:37Haley, is this your boyfriend?
00:48:41He's got a good look.
00:48:43You two look great together.
00:48:45No, don't get me wrong.
00:48:47This is Julian Mitchell, an assistant from our company.
00:48:51He's with me for the translation.
00:48:54My mistake.
00:48:56Haley, you've definitely come to the right place.
00:48:59I'm the chief translator here.
00:49:01I can translate any document, especially confidential ones.
00:49:06That's my specialty.
00:49:08This way, please.
00:49:10Sir, this work is confidential.
00:49:13Please wait outside.
00:49:18Something feels off.
00:49:20Leo is definitely up to no good.
00:49:22Why does he keep staring at me?
00:49:24It gives me the creeps.
00:49:26Could he be up to something?
00:49:28I can do the translation, but I have one condition.
00:49:33Haley, I've had a crush on you since high school.
00:49:36Now that you're asking me for a favor, shouldn't you give me something in return?
00:49:41I wonder what you taste like.
00:49:43Leo, how dare you say something so shameless?
00:49:46This is insane.
00:49:47You were so high and mighty when you rejected me, weren't you?
00:49:49But now you're begging for my help.
00:49:51Be a good girl, and I'll translate it right away.
00:49:54Otherwise, you can forget about getting your job done.
00:49:56And don't blame me when the work gets delayed.
00:49:58Leo, let go of me.
00:49:59Help, help.
00:50:00Is anyone there?
00:50:01Help.
00:50:02Help.
00:50:03Help.
00:50:20I'm sorry, sir.
00:50:21This is a confidential project.
00:50:23Mr. Powell is handling important documents and can't be disturbed.
00:50:27Please wait here and don't cause a scene.
00:50:29Get out of my way.
00:50:32Try to stop me again, and I won't be so nice.
00:50:51Leo is a monster.
00:50:53He tried to assault me.
00:50:55He's so shameless.
00:50:59It's okay.
00:51:01I'm here now.
00:51:01I won't let anyone hurt you ever again.
00:51:08I'll make him pay for everything he's done to you.
00:51:12Halt!
00:51:13Stay right there!
00:51:26Back off.
00:51:31Who the hell do you think you are, you lousy bodyguard?
00:51:34How dare you mess with me?
00:51:36Today I'm gonna...
00:51:41What happened here?
00:51:42What's going on?
00:51:45It's her.
00:51:46Madeline Harrison.
00:51:48She's the officer in charge of this district.
00:51:50I thought she was more capable than that.
00:51:53What's she doing here?
00:51:54It's him!
00:51:55He's the one who started it!
00:51:56He attacked me!
00:51:57Leo Powell and even the security guards!
00:52:00Arrest him!
00:52:01Tell me exactly what happened.
00:52:03I need to know the whole story.
00:52:06No omissions and no lies.
00:52:09Julian didn't do that for no reason.
00:52:12Leo put his hands on me and tried to assault me.
00:52:15Julian was just trying to stop him, and he accidentally hurt them.
00:52:19He was protecting me, not deliberately causing trouble.
00:52:24I know you've held a grudge against me since school, but that's no reason to slander me.
00:52:29How could you team up with Julian to frame me and have him attack me?
00:52:34You're lying!
00:52:35How despicable!
00:52:36Oh, so that's what this is about.
00:52:38I guess she held a grudge after being rejected and now is trying to get revenge.
00:52:41Yeah, you're right.
00:52:42She must be alive.
00:52:43How could she slander Leo like this?
00:52:48Leo, you'll regret this.
00:52:51Julian, let's go.
00:52:52Let's not waste our time on people like him.
00:52:54Not so fast.
00:52:56Officer, I want to press charges against them.
00:52:59I will make them pay for this.
00:53:00All right, then.
00:53:02You are all coming with me to the station to make a full statement.
00:53:05The police will take it from there.
00:53:09Tell me.
00:53:10What happened?
00:53:11I want the whole story from start to finish.
00:53:14Don't leave anything out.
00:53:15It's in everyone's best interest.
00:53:19I need to stay calm.
00:53:21The only way to make that bastard pay is to tell them everything.
00:53:26Haley asked me to go with her to the translation company.
00:53:30We ran into her high school classmate, Leo.
00:53:34He kept provoking me.
00:53:36And then he tried to assault Haley.
00:53:38I only hurt them to protect her.
00:53:41I see.
00:53:42I think I get the picture.
00:53:43Leo was targeting Haley from the start.
00:53:44The problem is, you don't have any evidence.
00:53:47We can't charge him with anything directly.
00:53:50What?
00:53:50I thought I was a witness.
00:53:53You and Haley are a couple.
00:53:55Your testimony isn't credible enough.
00:53:58We're not seeing each other.
00:53:59Well, Leo thinks you are.
00:54:05Now he wants to press charges against you for assault?
00:54:14And who's to say I hurt him on purpose?
00:54:17I can claim he attacked me first, and it was self-defense.
00:54:21Besides, his secretary's testimony is hardly credible.
00:54:26Their relationship is hardly professional.
00:54:32All right, you can go.
00:54:35Officer, how can you just let him go?
00:54:37He attacked me and framed me.
00:54:39You should arrest him, not release him.
00:54:43Since neither of you could provide any solid evidence, I have to release him.
00:54:51You'd better drop whatever you're plotting, or it'll backfire on you.
00:55:04Julian, you got lucky this time.
00:55:07If it had happened a month ago, a scum like you would have been dead by my hand.
00:55:11You're lucky too.
00:55:13For running into me now.
00:55:17Watch your back, loser.
00:55:19Leo, you'd better behave yourself.
00:55:28Is that a threat?
00:55:31So what if it is?
00:55:52What's wrong?
00:55:56I'm sorry.
00:55:57I got you dragged into this.
00:56:00I failed to protect you.
00:56:01Leo is out for revenge.
00:56:04It's better that he comes after me than you.
00:56:08But I don't want you to get hurt because of me.
00:56:20Julian!
00:56:21Watch out!
00:56:23She's the first woman to kiss me voluntarily,
00:56:25other than my mom and Ruby.
00:56:34Julian!
00:56:35Is this how you protect Haley?
00:56:38You're fired!
00:56:39Gianna, it's not his fault!
00:56:43That bastard Leo did that to me.
00:56:47If he had gone into the office with you,
00:56:50if he had gone into the office with you,
00:56:50Leo would never have dared to assault you.
00:56:53Gianna, you're going too far!
00:56:54I already told you it had nothing to do with him!
00:56:58If you don't agree with my decision,
00:57:00then leave.
00:57:05Fine.
00:57:06I'll leave.
00:57:08Julian, come with me.
00:57:14You don't have to put up with someone like her.
00:57:19Miss Chapman, you should head back.
00:57:21I'm still her bodyguard.
00:57:23After everything she said to you,
00:57:25you're still going to protect her?
00:57:26She can treat me as she wants.
00:57:31But it's my job to keep her safe.
00:57:36I'm sorry, Haley.
00:57:38I can't go with you.
00:57:40It's my duty.
00:57:42No matter what lies ahead,
00:57:44I have to see it through.
00:57:54What happened?
00:58:07Let go of me!
00:58:08Did I call you here?
00:58:09I already told you you're fired.
00:58:11Why are you still here?
00:58:15Good.
00:58:16It's just a minor sprain.
00:58:19You'll be fine after a few days of rest.
00:58:22Stay still.
00:58:23Or you'll make it worse.
00:58:24I've given him such a hard time
00:58:26and even claimed to fire him.
00:58:28But he's still so concerned about me.
00:58:30Have I been too mean to him?
00:58:32Julian,
00:58:33I don't want my dad to worry,
00:58:35so you can stay here.
00:58:36You can live in that room.
00:58:38Alright.
00:58:39But from now on,
00:58:40you have to ask for my permission
00:58:41before you do anything.
00:58:43Understood.
00:58:45Julian,
00:58:45you'll pay for this.
00:58:47Mr. Powell,
00:58:48he's a really good fighter.
00:58:50His skill is no match for a weapon.
00:58:53You may be a good fighter,
00:58:55but Haley is an easy target.
00:58:58That bastard.
00:58:59Of course he'd target Haley.
00:59:03I should have known he would do that.
00:59:06Haley,
00:59:07you wait for me.
00:59:09I'll come for you.
00:59:11Miss Palmer,
00:59:12there's something urgent.
00:59:13I have to go.
00:59:21What happened?
00:59:23Why is he in such a rush?
00:59:25Where are the cabs?
00:59:26Why can't I get one?
00:59:28Haley,
00:59:29you have to hold on.
00:59:31Please be okay.
00:59:32I'm on my way.
00:59:42Sir.
00:59:44Hey,
00:59:45it's me.
00:59:46Where are you going?
00:59:47I'll give you a ride.
00:59:49Thanks.
00:59:50Hurry up and drive.
00:59:50It's an emergency.
00:59:52Where are you going?
00:59:54The abandoned factory in Orobert.
01:00:06You saved Autumn,
01:00:07and I considered it as a favor.
01:00:11Name your price.
01:00:12She wants to repay my kindness?
01:00:17But after that,
01:00:19stay away from Autumn.
01:00:27I didn't save her for a reward.
01:00:30Her words are a complete insult.
01:00:32Eva,
01:00:33how could you say that?
01:00:35That's so insulting.
01:00:37I don't have time to argue with them.
01:00:40Haley is waiting for me.
01:00:42All right,
01:00:42Autumn.
01:00:43He's just a security guard.
01:00:45Don't forget who you are.
01:00:48Stop.
01:00:49I'm getting out here.
01:00:53Please,
01:00:54don't be upset.
01:00:55Eva doesn't mean it.
01:00:56She just has a nasty way of talking.
01:01:01I'll make her apologize to you.
01:01:03Please don't get out.
01:01:05I'll take you where you need to go.
01:01:06There's no time to waste.
01:01:07I have to find a ride now.
01:01:09I must save Haley.
01:01:10That bastard Leo.
01:01:11How dare he threaten me with Haley.
01:01:13If she gets hurt in any way,
01:01:14I'll tear him to pieces.
01:01:15If Haley gets hurt,
01:01:16in the slightest,
01:01:18I'll make him regret that he was born.
01:01:27I must stay calm.
01:01:28Leo definitely has a trap set up.
01:01:32I have to be careful.
01:01:33I can't do anything to tip him off
01:01:35and put Haley at risk.
01:01:57Leo, Julian's not here yet.
01:01:58How about we have a little fun first?
01:02:00What's the rush?
01:02:01When he gets here,
01:02:02we'll tie him up and force him to watch
01:02:03how he hurt the woman he's trying to protect.
01:02:05It's much more satisfying to see the look on his face.
01:02:08Completely powerless.
01:02:09He'll finally learn what happens when he crosses me.
01:02:13No need to wait.
01:02:15I'm here.
01:02:17Leo, he's a tough fighter.
01:02:19David and I have history.
01:02:21I beat him so bad he was in bed for two weeks.
01:02:24So what if you are a good fighter?
01:02:28If you don't want her to get hurt,
01:02:30you'll do exactly as I say.
01:02:32Don't try anything funny.
01:02:34Go!
01:02:35Just get out of here!
01:02:36He's going to kill you!
01:02:37Go now and call the police!
01:02:39Miss Chapman,
01:02:40Miss Chapman, don't be afraid.
01:02:41I'm here now,
01:02:42and I'm not leaving without you.
01:02:45I told you I'd keep you safe.
01:02:47I already sent my location to Madeline.
01:02:50She and her team are in position outside.
01:02:53I came here to make these scum eggs
01:02:55confess to everything on record.
01:02:56They're going to rot in jail
01:02:58for the rest of their lives.
01:03:00Why aren't you leaving?
01:03:03Weren't you so arrogant?
01:03:05Where's all that attitude now?
01:03:07David, give our big hero a proper welcome.
01:03:10Beat the shit out of him for me.
01:03:18Is that all you've got?
01:03:21Did you forget to eat breakfast?
01:03:23No! Stop hitting him!
01:03:25Leo, I'm begging you.
01:03:26Don't hurt him.
01:03:28Go for me if that's what you want.
01:03:34Let's see if you can act so tough now.
01:03:45Damn it.
01:03:47Still tough, huh?
01:03:48I'll break your arms and legs today.
01:03:50I'll make you a cripple for life
01:03:52so you can never be a hero again.
01:03:58Stop!
01:03:59Leo, if you let Julian go,
01:04:02I'll do anything!
01:04:05Really?
01:04:06Fine.
01:04:07David, untie her.
01:04:09Let her take her own clothes off.
01:04:11Guys, get your phones out.
01:04:14Film it so we can watch this again.
01:04:40Julian, just let go!
01:04:42We're both going to fall!
01:04:44Don't talk.
01:04:45Grab me with your other hand.
01:04:47I'm here to save you.
01:04:48I will never let go of your hand.
01:04:57Julian!
01:04:58Julian, let go!
01:05:14They're both dead.
01:05:25Did I get here just in time?
01:05:26Did I get here just in time?
01:05:31I thought we were going to die.
01:05:36I thought I'd never see you again.
01:05:39Maybe I should give you two some privacy?
01:05:42The footage is perfectly clear.
01:05:46What happened?
01:05:47He was gathering evidence for you.
01:05:49The thugs who ran off have already been caught by my colleagues.
01:05:52We got the whole thing on recording.
01:05:57I stand frozen.
01:06:00Madeline shakes her head repeatedly.
01:06:02Idiot.
01:06:07While helping Madeline process the scene, Julian senses someone watching from the shadows.
01:06:14This time, the presence feels extraordinary.
01:06:22Julian.
01:06:25Thank you for saving me again.
01:06:28I just did my job, Miss Chapman.
01:06:35Can you stop calling me Miss Chapman?
01:06:38Just call me by my name.
01:06:45Hi, Hayley.
01:06:47A sweet warmth spreads through her chest.
01:06:49Come on.
01:06:51Let's go to the hospital.
01:06:52Your wounds need to be taken care of.
01:06:54No, it's fine.
01:06:56Miss Palmer hasn't eaten yet.
01:06:57What are you, a bodyguard or a nanny?
01:07:00Miss Palmer hurt her ankle, so it's hard for her to get around.
01:07:03By the way, she said she wanted to talk to you about that email.
01:07:07She really said that?
01:07:09Yeah.
01:07:14Julian opens the passenger door for her.
01:07:18Please.
01:07:22Hayley, don't mention the kidnapping to Miss Palmer.
01:07:25She'll feel guilty and blame herself.
01:07:27It's in the past, so there's no need for her to know.
01:07:33You're awfully considerate of your employer, aren't you?
01:07:37I try to think of everything.
01:07:42It's my job.
01:07:48Julian drives her toward the house.
01:08:09Unaware of everything we've been through,
01:08:11Gianna is furious when I finally walk through the door.
01:08:14You're finally back!
01:08:16Are you trying to starve me?
01:08:22Haley, why are you with Julian?
01:08:24When she sees Haley, she's instantly delighted.
01:08:27I was kidnapped.
01:08:28Julian just rescued me.
01:08:32He told me to keep it a secret from you.
01:08:34But I think you need to know.
01:08:39He does so much more than a regular bodyguard.
01:08:43Gianna, I'm so jealous of you.
01:08:48Haley, it's a little awkward with just me and him living here.
01:08:53Could you move in and stay with me?
01:08:59Of course.
01:09:01Free food and a place to stay I'd love to.
01:09:10We're screwed, Gianna.
01:09:13It's full of technical terms.
01:09:15The online translation is just a jumbled mess.
01:09:18It's completely useless.
01:09:19What if there's some kind of trap in it?
01:09:21If we reply to it without thinking, we'll get ourselves in big trouble.
01:09:25I've already called the translator several times, but he's out of town and can't get back.
01:09:30Those must be his excuses.
01:09:32They're just trying to stall us.
01:09:34Why don't you let me take a look?
01:09:35Julian, you're not kidding, are you?
01:09:37This is business and legal French.
01:09:39It's not as simple as just saying hello.
01:09:41I know a bit.
01:09:42I happen to have dealt with this kind of content before.
01:09:49They want to cooperate, but they're trying to get the upper hand.
01:09:52If you reply before the end of the day today, you'll be at a disadvantage.
01:09:56So you're saying we should just leave them hanging and not rush to reply?
01:09:59Exactly.
01:10:00Let them stew for a day or two so they can't figure out what you're planning.
01:10:03They're in more of a hurry than you are.
01:10:05Wait for them to reach out first and the ball will be back in your court.
01:10:08Then you can negotiate with them for every condition.
01:10:14Then we'll let them stew for a day or two.
01:10:18Gianna, where on earth did your dad find him?
01:10:21He can fight.
01:10:23He can cook.
01:10:24He speaks French.
01:10:26And he has such a sharp business mind.
01:10:29This guy isn't a bodyguard.
01:10:31He's basically a Superman.
01:10:35Haley, so should I get you a room on the first floor tonight?
01:10:42What are you talking about?
01:10:46The next morning, the entertainment news feeds are flooded with the same explosive headline,
01:10:51Pop Diva Autumn Miller Dumped by Boyfriend on the Street.
01:10:55Julian, open the door!
01:10:57Please!
01:11:02No!
01:11:03It's freezing!
01:11:08Please!
01:11:10Please!
01:11:16I can't.
01:11:17Let's go.
01:11:23Phone notification.
01:11:24A long message from Serenity.
01:11:32She hung up.
01:11:34Of course she did.
01:11:37Everyone just hangs up on me.
01:11:46Who was that?
01:11:48Just a friend.
01:11:50We had a little misunderstanding.
01:11:51I don't want to talk about Ruby.
01:11:53Not to anyone.
01:12:00I need Julian to sign this before the meeting.
01:12:03He's in early today.
01:12:05His door is open.
01:12:08That's rare.
01:12:09He usually keeps it shut tight.
01:12:13On the floor are piles of colourful envelopes.
01:12:16I open one.
01:12:18Inside are a woman's photo and contact details.
01:12:24They must have got it wrong.
01:12:26She bends down and opens a few more.
01:12:29All are date invitations.
01:12:30One even reads,
01:12:32I want to have your baby.
01:12:34Just pick a pretty one and ask her out.
01:12:38But I'm not interested.
01:12:48You should be more focused on your work.
01:12:55I stand there stunned.
01:12:57Completely unaware of her little scheme.
01:13:00I walk out of the office.
01:13:02The elevator doors open.
01:13:03And Adeline comes out holding a box.
01:13:07A package for Ms. Palmer.
01:13:09As I pass by her,
01:13:11I faintly hear a ticking sound.
01:13:14My expression changed.
01:13:19That's the sound of a timing device.
01:13:21I immediately rush to Gianna's office.
01:13:26Outside Gianna's office,
01:13:28the door is ajar.
01:13:31Gianna is happily unwrapping the package.
01:13:34I dash in and snatch the box from her.
01:13:45I go to the restroom to wash my face and calm down.
01:13:59There's definitely more to this blood bomb incident than meets the eye.
01:14:08Did they go after her again?
01:14:12Forget it.
01:14:14I'll have a talk with her in a few days.
01:14:17Julian, you have to be okay.
01:14:20Julian, are you alright?
01:14:22Where did you get hurt?
01:14:26I'm fine.
01:14:27I'm not really hurt.
01:14:30Let's go find Ms. Palmer and Madeline.
01:14:32Okay.
01:14:33Last time they tried to kill her.
01:14:35This time,
01:14:35they sent a blood splattering bomb.
01:14:37I wonder what's next.
01:14:39Can the police send someone to protect Gianna?
01:14:45Not yet.
01:14:47Julian,
01:14:48you're here.
01:14:57Ms. Palmer,
01:14:58I found this in your office.
01:15:01Who would do something like this to Gianna?
01:15:04Who the hell is trying
01:15:06to hurt Gianna?
01:15:08Julian already called the police.
01:15:10Gianna,
01:15:11do you have a suspect in mind?
01:15:13No.
01:15:14I've always done business by the book.
01:15:17Okay,
01:15:17then do you have the shipping information?
01:15:20Like,
01:15:20the shipping label?
01:15:26No need to find that.
01:15:29I remember the information on it.
01:15:33But I don't think you ever saw the packaging,
01:15:35did you?
01:15:37I came across it in the elevator earlier.
01:15:40I happened to glance at it.
01:15:43Go ahead.
01:15:44I'll write it down.
01:15:45I can't believe he remembers.
01:15:48Julian?
01:15:51This bomb must be from the same person
01:15:53who was trying to harm Gianna.
01:15:56What should I do?
01:16:00Madeline scribbles the address in her notebook.
01:16:03Julian really cares about Gianna.
01:16:06He remembers every little detail.
01:16:09I suggest we focus the investigation on someone working for PICVIA group.
01:16:16Why?
01:16:18Miss Palmer's packages are delivered at the same time every day.
01:16:21Plus,
01:16:22this is the tallest building in the area,
01:16:23so you can't see into the office from any of the nearby buildings.
01:16:28That means the person behind this must be someone familiar with Miss Palmer's schedule.
01:16:33Okay.
01:16:33I'll arrange for someone to investigate right now.
01:16:38Gianna stands up and walks out of the office.
01:16:45Haley bandaged my hand wound and ties it into a bow.
01:16:49Is it her way of showing care?
01:16:53You need to be more careful from now on.
01:16:55Don't get hurt again.
01:16:59Okay.
01:17:01Gianna returns just in time to see this.
01:17:05Julian.
01:17:07Julian.
01:17:08you can take the day off tomorrow.
01:17:10Go pay your respects to your parents.
01:17:14My parents.
01:17:16Thank you, Miss Palmer.
01:17:20Wait.
01:17:21This is for the road.
01:17:23Come back early tomorrow.
01:17:26Does Haley care for me?
01:17:28What about Miss Palmer?
01:17:30Haley,
01:17:30you're too good to him.
01:17:34He saved my life.
01:17:39Is it just because he saved your life?
01:17:43Shut up!
01:17:48Any news on Leo?
01:17:50That guy is an absolute monster.
01:17:52David confessed everything.
01:17:54Leo drugged several office workers,
01:17:57specifically targeting them.
01:17:59He's not getting out anytime soon.
01:18:02People like him should be shot.
01:18:08I know.
01:18:09I wonder how Ruby is doing.
01:18:18You...
01:18:20I have to go pay my respects to my parents.
01:18:23His parents?
01:18:24Yeah.
01:18:25Be careful on the way.
01:18:27Okay.
01:18:30I sit alone before my parents' photo,
01:18:33lost in thought.
01:18:34Later,
01:18:35after finishing the laundry,
01:18:37I rush to the hospital.
01:18:41I stand outside the hospital room,
01:18:43and my sister is leaning against the headboard,
01:18:45reading.
01:18:47Serenity is by her side.
01:18:54Ruby.
01:18:57Julian,
01:18:58you're back from your business trip.
01:19:00Yeah.
01:19:00Ruby,
01:19:01I need to tell you something.
01:19:02I'm thinking of hiring a nursing aide for you.
01:19:05They can stay with you during the day,
01:19:07and I'll take over at night.
01:19:09No, Julian,
01:19:10you don't have to.
01:19:11I can manage on my own.
01:19:12It costs thousands of dollars a month.
01:19:15Don't worry about the money.
01:19:16I've been too busy to take care of you lately.
01:19:20Besides,
01:19:21Ms. Shaw still has work to do.
01:19:24We can't keep bothering her.
01:19:28Julian,
01:19:28come out with me.
01:19:36What do you mean by that?
01:19:38Do you think I can't take good care of Ruby?
01:19:41How can you afford to hire a nursing aide?
01:19:44You are busy enough with your work.
01:19:47It's hard for Ruby to get out of bed after her surgery,
01:19:50and I can't be with her all the time.
01:19:54That's why I'm looking for a nursing aide.
01:19:57No.
01:19:58I'm willing to do it for you.
01:20:01Don't worry about me.
01:20:12Julian,
01:20:13I found out who sent that bomb.
01:20:15Have a guess?
01:20:18Who?
01:20:19It's an employee of the Picvia group,
01:20:21and it's connected to Gianna's boyfriend, Gabriel.
01:20:26He came back to the country two weeks ago,
01:20:28but didn't tell Gianna.
01:20:29We tracked him going straight in the city as soon as he landed.
01:20:32He checked into a hotel near the Picvia group.
01:20:36Thank you for telling me this.
01:20:37I just did my job,
01:20:39but I hope you can handle this.
01:20:44Who is Ruby Mitchell's family?
01:20:46Who are the family members of Ruby Mitchell?
01:20:48Are they here?
01:20:49The patient is having a rejection reaction and needs a blood transfusion.
01:20:54Take mine.
01:20:55I'm her brother.
01:20:56I follow the nurse.
01:20:58My mind numb and blank.
01:21:00My phone vibrates again.
01:21:01I look down.
01:21:02An anonymous text.
01:21:05Come to Eckrahill Cemetery.
01:21:07I'll wait for you behind your mother's tombstone.
01:21:10Who the hell are you?
01:21:16I don't care who you are.
01:21:17You threaten me with my family,
01:21:18and I'll make you pay.
01:21:20I'll make you pay.
