00:00Your father just died! This company is not your toy!
00:04You done?
00:07We're just concerned you're not ready.
00:09I'm not here to ask permission. I'm here to take over.
00:15This is gonna be a disaster.
00:16If anyone wants to turn this boardroom into a gossip thread, the door's right there.
00:21Nice fire. Shame the market doesn't buy attitude.
00:25Then let the market watch me deliver.
00:37Don't follow me.
00:49Miss Hart.
00:51Miss Hart.
00:53Back off!
00:55Drop your hand.
00:57I said drop it.
01:00Who the hell are you?
01:01Not the important part.
01:03He's been tracking you for two weeks.
01:07Who sent you?
01:08Who sent you?
01:11He's not alone.
01:13Behind me.
01:14Don't chase him. Call the cops.
01:16You get in the car.
01:17Now.
01:23Miss Hart.
01:24Are you okay?
01:25Start talking.
01:26Starting tonight, he's your close protection.
01:30This guy?
01:31Problem?
01:33Yeah.
01:34A huge one.
01:37A huge one.
01:49You've got to be kidding me.
01:50No.
01:52You look like you moonlight at budget funerals.
01:54Still alive, though.
01:57Who signed off on this?
01:59Board directive.
02:02Stay out of my way.
02:05As long as you stay alive, I won't.
02:11Don't just stand there.
02:12It's creepy.
02:13This better?
02:19What now?
02:21Excuse me?
02:23Step away from the glass.
02:27What did you see?
02:33Lockdown floor 38.
02:36You are not a normal bodyguard.
02:42Get out!
02:43Close on.
02:44Fire alarm.
02:45We move now.
02:47You could have knocked.
02:56That would have cost three seconds.
02:58You are unbelievable.
03:10What now?
03:12Someone touched your car.
03:17Normal bodyguards don't carry that.
03:19Smart ones do.
03:23Who are you really?
03:26The guy keeping you alive.
03:33We're not done.
03:42Brace are gone!
03:45Head down!
03:47Head down!
03:48Wall side.
03:50Now!
03:59Are you hit?
04:01Are you hit?
04:02I'm fine.
04:04Stay inside.
04:10It was cut.
04:15They're trying to kill me.
04:18Not while I'm here.
04:20She survived.
04:28The next time, don't let her walk away.
04:32Normal bodyguards don't do that.
04:34Which part?
04:35Disarming devices?
04:36Handling a runaway car?
04:37Locking down a whole floor?
04:39Who are you?
04:40Someone who knows what danger looks like.
04:43Cute answer.
04:44Useless answer.
04:46Not that one.
04:48What?
04:48Why?
04:51Hazelnut syrup.
04:52She's allergic.
04:53I never told you that.
04:55Double espresso.
04:56No sugar.
04:58Stop studying me.
05:00Hard not to.
05:01People keep trying to kill you.
05:02You are seriously messed up.
05:13See?
05:15Secrets.
05:17Later.
05:19Don't.
05:21You're policing my coffee now?
05:24Double espresso.
05:26No sugar.
05:28That one's got hazelnut syrup.
05:31I never told you that.
05:33You also never told anyone you skipped lunch.
05:36That is a deeply creepy way to watch your boss.
05:39Keeping you alive beats surprising you.
05:43Ella, you're trending.
05:50This is garbage.
05:53This wasn't random.
05:54The rollout's coordinated.
05:56What, you do PR now too?
05:57Not PR.
05:58Hunting.
06:02Someone's been feeding them.
06:05Then let's drag the rat into daylight.
06:07I know whose play this is.
06:09Ella Hart is facing fresh backlash after a former employee accused her of creating a
06:13toxic work environment.
06:14Ella, did you bully your design team?
06:16Back up.
06:17What do you have to say about the allegation?
06:19If you want the truth, start by playing the whole video.
06:21Cherry picking isn't journalism.
06:23It's trash.
06:24Wait, please.
06:25Move.
06:25Move.
06:30They're not reporting.
06:32They're sentencing me.
06:33Six accounts boosted in 40 minutes.
06:35Same source package.
06:38Someone had the edit ready to go.
06:41It bounced through your internal server.
06:44So someone inside is selling me out.
06:47I'm tracing the video source.
06:49Alone?
06:49I'm more worried about leaving you here.
06:51The gala host confirmed.
06:53Victor insists you attend.
06:57That's not a gala.
06:59It's a setup.
07:00Leaked footage, internal routing, paid amplication.
07:05Anyone want to explain?
07:06Who exactly are you accusing?
07:08I'm giving that person one last chance to stand up.
07:12Ella, anger won't fix the stock.
07:15Neither does betrayal.
07:21Third on your right.
07:22His hand shook twice.
07:23Mr. Collins, want to tell me why the trim marks on that leak match the batch in your hand?
07:28That proves nothing.
07:29Enough.
07:30What matters now is repairing your image.
07:33Tonight's charity gala is your comeback shot.
07:36Or is it the stage where you want me executed?
07:41Sweetheart, if I wanted to hurt you, you'd know.
07:44That sounded like a threat.
07:48And you sound expensive for a guard.
07:57Don't touch a drink unless I hand it to you.
07:59Please welcome Heart Group CEO, Ella Hart.
08:08Who's the guy with her?
08:10Don't tell me you wore that to a black tie gala.
08:14I'm more concerned with who's coming at you from the left.
08:17You literally don't know how to relax, do you?
08:20Don't touch that.
08:26How do you know?
08:28Residue on the rim shouldn't be there.
08:32Keep it as evidence.
08:34Hold him.
08:37What's happening?
08:41Stay with me.
08:43You say that a lot.
08:45Because you keep making it necessary.
08:49He was taking remote instruction.
08:51Ella, the press is here.
08:53You should smile.
08:54I don't like him this close to you.
08:59Oh my God.
09:00Noah, what are you doing?
09:03Someone is sinking you.
09:09Saving you a hospital trip.
09:12That was for the donor toast.
09:17Who told you to serve her?
09:19I don't know what you're talking about.
09:21Liar.
09:33No.
09:34You stay with me.
09:36Did you know this was coming?
09:38I knew you were being targeted.
09:43Before we continue, our beloved Ella has a few words.
09:47I've got you.
09:53Sit.
09:54I'm fine.
09:56Just a little dizzy.
09:58You don't have to perform strength right now.
10:01Do you boss everyone around like this?
10:03Only the ones who almost drink themselves into the ER.
10:07You saved me twice tonight.
10:10Only twice?
10:12Wait.
10:12What is that?
10:17What?
10:18What?
10:18Old story.
10:20What counts as important to you then?
10:24You.
10:25Staying alive.
10:27Ella?
10:29The board is looking for you.
10:32You've got a lot of secrets.
10:35Reed?
10:41Who's Reed?
10:43Wrong number.
10:44Since when does a wrong number come with a title?
10:46Not the time.
10:48Then when is?
10:49After you take a bullet for me?
10:51If it keeps you breathing, sure.
10:54Ella, they're demanding a statement.
10:56Right now.
11:00You're coming with me.
11:03Boardrooms aren't my thing.
11:04Funny.
11:05You seem good in every room.
11:14Why is the guard in here?
11:17Sit.
11:17Well.
11:21This is new.
11:23He stays.
11:25For a bodyguard, he's getting very comfortable.
11:30I go where she needs me.
11:33Try it on.
11:38I already own a suit.
11:43That's not a suit.
11:44That's a warning sign.
11:47You don't need to spend money on me.
11:49It's not for you.
11:50It's for my reputation.
11:53Your reputation buys me just, just fine.
11:56Move.
11:57Move.
11:59Move.
11:59Move.
12:00Move.
12:01Move.
12:06Hey, well, bad, annoyingly good, careful, of what, me forgetting my job, should I bag
12:19this one, that is not a security company badge, Ella, Noah,
12:33I'm fine, you were shaking, just a dream, you said my name, must have been a bad dream
12:49then, still deflecting, impressive,
13:01why are you still here, because apparently my bodyguard has worse sleep habits than I
13:06do, you should go home, are you asking, or pushing, try not to need this, too late,
13:21this is becoming appropriate
13:30you filed a complaint because he does his job, we're concerned about optics, funny, no one cared
13:36about optics when someone drugged my drink, that allegation is unproven, it is now
13:46who authorized you to investigate, she didn't need to ask
13:55we're ready to bite nuts on the tent and he stays on my detail, you're getting emotionally
13:59compromised, no, I'm finally seeing clearly

15:26years ago
15:31aid
15:32and Reed Foundation isn't charity only
15:35it fronts private security contracts
15:45you shouldn't have dug into that
15:49then stop giving me reasons to
15:52the less you know, the safe you are
15:55you don't get to decide that for me
16:00if the name Reed is back in your world, this is bigger than your board
