00:00:00Yes!
00:00:01Your deployment's tomorrow.
00:00:02I'm still worried.
00:00:03Don't worry.
00:00:04I'm going to be back.
00:00:05I'm going to be safe and sound.
00:00:06The first thing we're going to do is get married.
00:00:07I'll be waiting.

00:00:42Oh, my god is how.
00:00:46I miss you so much.
00:00:49Oh, my god.
00:00:51It's so good to see you
00:00:52It's so good to see you.
00:00:55Yeah.
00:00:56We might to go home together.
00:00:58Yeah.
00:00:59Where were we for dinner?
00:01:00So, sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace?
00:01:02He was supposed to come out with you.
00:01:04Ace?
00:01:05He's been back for a month.
00:01:06He didn't tell you?
00:01:08What?
00:01:10Call him up. You'll see.
00:01:13Let's go.
00:01:17Ace came back a month ago, but he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:01:26Ace, open up! I know you're in there!
00:01:29Ace! Ace!
00:01:37Ace?
00:01:50Ace, what are you doing? Who is that woman?
00:01:57Ace, open the door!
00:02:00Who the hell are you and what do you want with Ace?
00:02:02I need to see him.
00:02:07Ace!
00:02:09Ace!
00:02:11Explain!
00:02:13Look, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:02:16It's over.
00:02:18I got myself a new girl.
00:02:20It's time for you to move on.
00:02:22What do you mean it's over?
00:02:24I waited for you for three years.
00:02:26You said we were going to get married when you came back
00:02:28and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:02:30I was just fooling around that whole time.
00:02:32I didn't mean any of it.
00:02:34Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally.
00:02:37She's the one, all right? It's not you.
00:02:39I don't believe you.
00:02:41I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face.
00:02:44You owe me that at least.
00:02:46That's the problem with you, isn't it?
00:02:48You're always demanding this, demanding that.
00:02:50If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy.
00:02:52You're a spoiled rich heiress and no guy wants a woman like that.
00:02:55Can't you understand that?
00:02:57Just fuck off.
00:03:00My dad was right about you.
00:03:04I never should have fallen for you.
00:03:06I hate you, Ace Atkins!
00:03:18Did you really have to be so cruel?
00:03:20I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth.
00:03:22She's not going to leave you.
00:03:25That's what I'm afraid of.
00:03:27I love her.
00:03:30She's got to let her go.
00:03:35Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:03:55I want you to end things with Elena.
00:03:57The engagement is off.
00:03:59Take this money as your compensation.
00:04:03Mr. Pearson, I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you.
00:04:08Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money.
00:04:11All I need is a chance to talk to Elena.
00:04:13That's all I'm asking for.
00:04:15Well, can you possibly give me a chance to talk to Elena?
00:04:17I don't know.
00:04:19I have no interest in your money.
00:04:21All I need is a chance to talk to Elena.
00:04:23That's all I'm asking for.
00:04:24What can you possibly do for Elena
00:04:26when you can't even stand on your own?
00:04:28All you'll do is break her heart.
00:04:30I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:04:34If you really love her, leave her alone!
00:04:50Thanks for doing this, Sally. I really appreciate it.
00:04:55We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes.
00:04:57I'll go get the equipment.
00:05:02I love you, Elena.
00:05:04Forget about me.
00:05:06You'll find happiness in me.
00:05:10I love you, too.
00:05:14I love you, too.
00:05:19I love you, too.
00:05:25Early this morning, Carter Pearson,
00:05:27CEO of Pearson Healthcare,
00:05:29was fatally shot by a gunman on Fifth Avenue.
00:05:32Police suspect the attack may be related
00:05:34to the wave of insurance policy changes
00:05:36that Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement.
00:05:38For now, the gunman remains at large,
00:05:41while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter,
00:05:43is set to take over as CEO.
00:05:50Punch.
00:05:55Clean that up.
00:06:03Good morning, gentlemen.
00:06:05I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:06:08I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:06:11The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage
00:06:18and to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
00:06:21My plan...
00:06:26What the hell is your shit plan?
00:06:28You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:06:30I reject it.
00:06:32Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies
00:06:34have led to my father's death.
00:06:36My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:06:39No matter what you say,
00:06:41I will never, ever change my mind.
00:06:44Really?
00:06:46You think you can control the entire group?
00:06:49I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:07:17Punch.
00:07:36Looks like you all need some more training still.
00:07:39You've got a long way to go.
00:07:42Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform
00:07:45or will she be next on the assassin's list?
00:07:48Hey, Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:51Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:07:54You could totally assign someone else to handle Lena's case.
00:07:57So you heard the news too, huh?
00:07:59You think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh?
00:08:03I'll handle it.
00:08:12Lena, today you're going to follow my plan
00:08:16to increase healthcare prices.
00:08:18We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.
00:08:21Simple as that.
00:08:23Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:08:36Have you lost your mind?
00:08:38Have you lost your mind?
00:08:40Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:08:42No one here will testify against me.
00:08:44Just sign the damn paper.
00:08:46Are you all going to let him do this?
00:08:48Lena, you're asking us to throw our money away in those lowlifes.
00:08:51Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:09:00Terrorists.
00:09:08Terrorists.
00:09:15Get your hands off of her.
00:09:18No way. That voice.
00:09:20It can't be him.
00:09:23It can't be him.
00:09:35Long time no see, Ms. Pearson.
00:09:39I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:09:41It's been three years.
00:09:43I've missed you, Lena.
00:09:45You're my what?
00:09:46Jesus, Lena.
00:09:48Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:09:50You stupid or something?
00:09:54You insult my boss again,
00:09:56you're going to be the one that needs some fucking healthcare.
00:09:59Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:10:03Leave, or you're fired.
00:10:05I don't give a shit you're my uncle.
00:10:07There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena.
00:10:10And that's to get rid of them.
00:10:12Just like I got rid of your father.
00:10:18What are you doing here?
00:10:20No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:10:24Well, Ms. Pearson,
00:10:26Mr. Atkins,
00:10:28I'm all over the place.
00:10:30Mr. Atkins,
00:10:32I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:10:34This, Mr. Ace Atkins,
00:10:37is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.
00:10:41Now, as per the contract,
00:10:43he will provide you protection 24 hours
00:10:47to ensure your safety at all times.
00:10:51No.
00:10:54I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:57I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:59Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.
00:11:02Anyone but him.
00:11:03Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:11:06With him around,
00:11:08your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:11:12Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute?
00:11:14I need to talk to him.
00:11:15Yes, ma'am.
00:11:20Ace, what are you doing here?
00:11:22I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:11:24Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now,
00:11:26and, uh, well...
00:11:29I was worried about you.
00:11:30We broke up three years ago.
00:11:32You cheated on me.
00:11:33You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:11:36The last thing I need right now
00:11:38is you being my bodyguard.
00:11:40The contract's already signed,
00:11:42so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:11:44Now go.
00:11:45I don't really understand why you're
00:11:47refusing all of this help.
00:11:51Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:11:55Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:11:57Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:11:59You're delusional.
00:12:01Elena.
00:12:06The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now,
00:12:09so just let me protect you.
00:12:11Only an idiot would entrust their safety
00:12:14to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:12:17Let go.
00:12:18Take me home.
00:12:22Elena!
00:12:27Asshole.
00:12:28You broke my heart,
00:12:29and now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:12:37That's odd.
00:12:38I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:12:41I don't know.
00:12:42I don't know.
00:12:43I don't know.
00:12:44I don't know.
00:12:45I don't know.
00:12:46I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:12:54Someone broke in.
00:12:56The killer?
00:13:17Why so surprised, princess?
00:13:19Didn't you know you were gonna be next?
00:13:24No.
00:13:25I don't wanna die, please.
00:13:26Someone help me.
00:13:46Please.
00:14:09Please.
00:14:10Oh, God.
00:14:13I thought I was gonna die.
00:14:16I thought you were safe.
00:14:18You're hurt.
00:14:19Are you alright?
00:14:20You saved me.
00:14:23I...
00:14:26You're bleeding.
00:14:31He might be an asshole, but damn,
00:14:33he's even hotter than he used to be.
00:14:36He's still got that same glow.
00:14:38God, I missed her.
00:14:41Do you remember the last time we...
00:14:43Yeah.
00:14:45Went to the bathroom.
00:14:58He's hotter.
00:15:00He is now.
00:15:06That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:15:08I should wrap that up.
00:15:10No, no, no.
00:15:12He tried to stab me in the leg and he missed.
00:15:15It's fine.
00:15:16I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:15:22Is there something wrong?
00:15:24It's fine.
00:15:25Okay.
00:15:40Okay.
00:16:00My...
00:16:03Am I interrupting?
00:16:05No.
00:16:06No.
00:16:07Ace cut himself,
00:16:09and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:16:14Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up.
00:16:19Wait, he's not staying with me.
00:16:22Yes, Miss Pearson.
00:16:23Of course.
00:16:25That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:16:28The contract clearly states
00:16:31that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7
00:16:35to ensure your safety.
00:16:38Oliver, it's not just about the contract.
00:16:40I can't...
00:16:42I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:16:47You must understand.
00:16:49You might very well be the next target.
00:16:53If you fail to understand this,
00:16:56then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:17:00Okay, fine.
00:17:02Oliver, you win.
00:17:04Brilliant.
00:17:06Mr. Atkins,
00:17:07from here on out,
00:17:09Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:17:17I would take a bullet for her.
00:17:20You're the first door on the left.
00:17:23You can stay there.
00:17:25Elena, please.
00:17:26Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:17:29We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:17:32Now, if you're going to be staying here,
00:17:34we need to establish some boundaries.
00:17:37So, here's how it's going to go.
00:17:39You are going to be my bodyguard,
00:17:41and I'm going to be your bodyguard.
00:17:44And I'm going to be your bodyguard.
00:17:46So, here's how it's going to go.
00:17:48You are going to do your job as my bodyguard,
00:17:51and I'm going to live my life.
00:17:53Nothing else.
00:17:55Is that clear?
00:17:57Crystal,
00:17:59I'm going to unpack my stuff.
00:18:13Is this his wallet?
00:18:16No.
00:18:26You said you never left me,
00:18:27so why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?
00:18:37I checked the house. It's all clear.
00:18:40Safe to sleep.
00:18:41Great. Thanks.
00:18:43I'm going to go to bed now.
00:18:46Okay.
00:19:10Shit!
00:19:17Sorry.
00:19:19I thought you were in danger.
00:19:21Just hand me that towel.
00:19:38It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:19:47Be professional.
00:19:49I'm still your boss, remember?
00:19:56Yes, ma'am.
00:20:17You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:20And after all these years,
00:20:21I still feel the same about you.
00:20:38Anise, I have some scar cream for you.
00:20:40Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:20:47Hey, what's up?
00:20:50Hey.
00:20:52Just have something for the scars.
00:20:56I can put it on.
00:21:08I'm surprised that you still want to
00:21:12show this much care for me so much.
00:21:14Get over yourself.
00:21:17I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:21:20Elena, calm yourself.
00:21:21He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:21:25Okay.
00:21:29I'm done.
00:21:37Okay, what is with you and this blanket?
00:21:40I saw it.
00:21:41Okay, what is with you and this blanket?
00:21:44I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:21:47My leg is fine.
00:21:49I'm just sitting.
00:21:50That's how I sit.
00:21:52I call BS. Let me see it.
00:22:06What if I'm hiding something under there?
00:22:09Maybe I'm hiding a boner.
00:22:11Maybe I'm hiding a boner.
00:22:12Maybe I'm hiding a boner.
00:22:13Let me see it.
00:22:22You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:22:24You're my bodyguard.
00:22:26We should keep things professional.
00:22:30Good night.
00:22:33Good night.
00:22:34Good night.
00:22:38You're right, Elena.
00:22:40I'm just your bodyguard.
00:22:51Elena,
00:22:53I want you to put this on.
00:22:54It's lightweight.
00:22:55You won't even feel it.
00:22:57I'm not wearing that.
00:22:58You can either do it yourself
00:22:59or I can strip your clothes off for you.
00:23:02And I can do it.
00:23:03If you ask me,
00:23:04I prefer the latter.
00:23:05Look, I can do it myself.
00:23:14May I?
00:23:16Got it.
00:23:34Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:23:42Okay, I have to go.
00:23:44I'm late for work.
00:23:46Yes, ma'am.
00:23:52I'm assuming that assassination didn't go as planned?
00:23:54That idiot calls himself a hitman
00:23:56and he can't handle a defenseless woman?
00:23:59Chad,
00:24:01I'm leaving this to you.
00:24:02Seduce Elena,
00:24:03get her under your thumb,
00:24:04and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:24:07Consider it done.
00:24:14Jesus, Chad,
00:24:15how many times have I told you to knock?
00:24:18What do you want?
00:24:20You owe me dinner, remember?
00:24:22I remember.
00:24:24But I'm swamped with work
00:24:25and planning a funeral,
00:24:26so can we take a brain check?
00:24:28Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:24:31You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:24:33This is how people get burned down.
00:24:35You need to take some time off to relax.
00:24:45Yeah.
00:24:47You know what? Let's do dinner.
00:24:53Great.
00:25:01Sir,
00:25:02this
00:25:03is a table for two.
00:25:07Why don't you go sit over there?
00:25:31I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:25:33I gotta
00:25:34keep a tight perimeter around her at all times,
00:25:36but
00:25:37thanks for checking in.
00:25:48Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:25:49You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:25:51Go ahead.
00:25:5782 Lafayette.
00:25:5882 Lafayette.
00:26:00Your favorite.
00:26:01I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:26:04Here, have a taste.
00:26:09Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad,
00:26:11that you're not offering me a drink.
00:26:12I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:26:15Well,
00:26:16Mr. Atkins,
00:26:18seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard,
00:26:20I didn't find it appropriate
00:26:21for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:26:25My apologies.
00:26:29Elena,
00:26:33I know how tough it's been for you.
00:26:35And I want you to know that
00:26:37I'm here for you.
00:26:39Always.
00:26:41And that my heart belongs to you.
00:26:46Sorry, Chad.
00:26:47I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:26:52Can we eat?
00:26:53I'm starving.
00:26:54Yeah.
00:26:55Sam.
00:26:58The mango salad.
00:26:59God.
00:27:03Oh, hey, Sam.
00:27:04Sorry about that.
00:27:05She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:27:07Do you mind bringing out another plate without them?
00:27:09He still remembers?
00:27:11I'll see what I can do about that.
00:27:17Wait.
00:27:18Didn't you two just meet?
00:27:19How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:23How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:26Well, we actually go way back.
00:27:28And I know a hell of a lot more about her
00:27:30than just her preference for mangoes.
00:27:32He's my bodyguard.
00:27:33Of course, Oliver told him everything
00:27:35that he needed to know.
00:27:36I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:27:42Okay, something's definitely going on
00:27:44with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:27:55What?
00:28:11What was that tonight?
00:28:13If I didn't know any better,
00:28:14I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:28:17Maybe you're just seeing things
00:28:18the way you want to see them.
00:28:21You ever think about that?
00:28:23How could I forget?
00:28:24Right, you shattered my heart.
00:28:28Save it.
00:28:30Just go home.
00:28:31You have funeral preparations to make anyway.
00:28:37I'm sorry, Elena.
00:28:39I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:28:42I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:28:48Elena!
00:28:51Elena?
00:28:52Chad!
00:28:53You're back!
00:29:06Dad!
00:29:08What's going on?
00:29:10Please.
00:29:12It's fine, I'm here.
00:29:13Okay?
00:29:14You're safe.
00:29:16I had a dream about my dad.
00:29:19One second he was smiling at me
00:29:21and then the next...
00:29:31I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:29:35Do you really think that I can make a change
00:29:37in this industry?
00:29:40You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:29:43And I think that you can do anything
00:29:44that you set your heart on.
00:29:47Besides, I'm going to be right here
00:29:48the whole time, supporting you.
00:29:50Protecting you.
00:29:53Protecting me?
00:29:57Do you really think I can trust you
00:29:58after what you've put me through?
00:30:04I'm sorry.
00:30:06I'm sorry.
00:30:07No.
00:30:09Look,
00:30:10our relationship, that is in the past.
00:30:14But I would protect you with my life.
00:30:17I'd die for you.
00:30:19I need you to understand that.
00:30:22So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:30:32So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:30:38No.
00:30:57Stay with me.
00:31:01I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:31:05You're my bodyguard.
00:31:07And I'm scared.
00:31:11Stay with me,
00:31:13so I can feel safe.
00:31:32If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:31:38What are we doing here?
00:31:40I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:31:43You know, just in case.
00:31:45Always got to be prepared.
00:31:47What I mean is, in case I die first
00:31:49and you're still in danger, you can
00:31:53fight your way out.
00:31:56First case scenario.
00:32:03What would you do
00:32:04if someone tried to kill you?
00:32:05What would you do
00:32:06if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:32:11Um...
00:32:15No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:32:19Try putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.
00:32:23That one there.
00:32:26And that one there.
00:32:28Push as hard as you can.
00:32:30Ooh.
00:32:32Right. Nice.
00:32:37All right.
00:32:38Second scenario.
00:32:41What if somebody
00:32:44had you like this?
00:32:50What if somebody
00:32:53had you like this?
00:32:55Had you like this?
00:32:58It's just self-defense training.
00:33:00Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:33:03What's your move?
00:33:06Um...
00:33:07I go for the more vulnerable part.
00:33:11Like, stomping on the floor.
00:33:16Very nice.
00:33:17You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:33:20Okay.
00:33:21Third scenario.
00:33:22You ready?
00:33:24All right.
00:33:27What?
00:33:32Someone's got you like this.
00:33:34Starts choking you.
00:33:37Um...
00:33:38You gotta be quick.
00:33:39Like this?
00:33:42Use your hips.
00:33:44What?
00:33:45Use your hips to thrust me off of you
00:33:47as hard as you can.
00:33:53Ace, are you okay?
00:33:55Did I hurt your leg?
00:33:56No.
00:33:57What was that sound?
00:34:02It didn't hurt my leg.
00:34:04It's fine.
00:34:05That was a good job.
00:34:06No, you're hurt.
00:34:08Fine.
00:34:09That was good work, though.
00:34:10Seriously.
00:34:11Ace,
00:34:12the new security equipment just arrived.
00:34:14Can you come check it out?
00:34:15Yeah, sure. Thanks, Josh.
00:34:18Good job today.
00:34:20Seriously.
00:34:22Thanks.
00:34:27That sound was weird.
00:34:34Ace is hiding something from me.
00:34:37Hi.
00:34:38Alina, right?
00:34:39I'm Josh.
00:34:41I used to serve with Ace in the military,
00:34:43but now we're colleagues.
00:34:45He talks about you a lot.
00:34:46Hi, Josh.
00:34:49I'm sorry, can I ask,
00:34:51is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:34:57Huh?
00:34:58Leg?
00:34:59No.
00:35:00Not that I know of.
00:35:01You know,
00:35:02Ace has been single for years now.
00:35:04Everyone here knows that
00:35:07there's someone he's never been able to forget,
00:35:09and that person is you, Alina.
00:35:13You're mistaken.
00:35:14He doesn't love me
00:35:17at all.
00:35:18If you knew him,
00:35:19you wouldn't have broke up with me three years ago.
00:35:21You know,
00:35:22I might be just an outsider,
00:35:24but I know Ace.
00:35:26Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:35:30All right,
00:35:31I gotta go check up on Ace and the new equipment.
00:35:33It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:35:37Maybe some things aren't what they seem?
00:35:39What does that even mean?
00:35:42Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:35:43Everything looks great.
00:35:44Okay.
00:35:46Ace,
00:35:47Alina asked about your leg.
00:35:51What'd you say?
00:35:55What'd you say?
00:35:56Don't worry,
00:35:57I didn't say a word.
00:35:59But,
00:36:00honestly, man,
00:36:01I think she still cares about you.
00:36:03Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:36:05I appreciate your input, Josh,
00:36:06but I think I know what's best for Alina,
00:36:08and I
00:36:09might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:36:11It's overdue for a while.
00:36:13If you keep stalling,
00:36:14you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:36:16You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:36:19I'm still on the job.
00:36:21I can't leave Alina alone.
00:36:22I think that would be very, uh,
00:36:24irresponsible of me, don't you think, Josh?
00:36:26Man,
00:36:27you're one hell of a romantic.
00:36:28You know that?
00:36:29Yeah, well, that makes one of us.
00:36:30Why don't you get the hell out of here, all right?
00:36:33Almighty God,
00:36:35in your mercy,
00:36:36turn the darkness of death
00:36:38into the dawn of new life,
00:36:40and the sorrow of parting
00:36:42into the joy of heaven.
00:36:44Through our Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:36:46we pray.
00:36:47Amen.
00:36:48Amen.
00:36:49Amen.
00:36:50Amen.
00:36:51Amen.
00:36:52Amen.
00:36:53Amen.
00:36:54Amen.
00:36:55Amen.
00:36:56Amen.
00:36:57Amen.
00:36:58Amen.
00:36:59Amen.
00:37:00Amen.
00:37:01Through our Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:37:03who died,
00:37:04rose again,
00:37:05and lives forevermore.
00:37:08Amen.
00:37:13My deepest condolences.
00:37:15May your father rest in peace.
00:37:17Your father knew that your reckless reforms
00:37:19would be tearing his company apart.
00:37:21He would never rest in peace.
00:37:23He was your brother.
00:37:25If you had even a shred of affection for him,
00:37:27you would never say something like that at his funeral.
00:37:30You know, Uncle Houston,
00:37:31I've always wondered.
00:37:32You've been far angrier about the healthcare reforms
00:37:35than my own father's murder.
00:37:37Could it be that you had something to do with his death?
00:37:41That is outrageous slander.
00:37:44How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother
00:37:46at his funeral.
00:37:56Sorry for your loss.
00:38:31That's enough.
00:38:37This was my father's favorite.
00:38:39I got it for him for his birthday,
00:38:41but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:38:54Right here.
00:38:56Not going anywhere.
00:39:01Good night.
00:39:04No.
00:39:07Don't go.
00:39:13Can you promise you won't leave me again?
00:39:18I promise.
00:39:19I'll never leave you again.
00:39:22Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:39:26Someone in your heart.
00:39:29Someone that you can't forget.
00:39:31Is that someone me?
00:39:35Tell me, Ace.
00:39:44Yes.
00:39:46That someone is you.
00:39:48And it always has been.
00:39:49If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:39:52Look, it's been a long day.
00:39:53I don't think we should talk about it.
00:39:57I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:39:59You did hurt me.
00:40:02Three years ago, I waited for you to come back and marry me.
00:40:06And then you left me for another woman.
00:40:08You broke my heart.
00:40:11And then you just waltzed back in my life like nothing happened.
00:40:15No.
00:40:16No!
00:40:27No.
00:40:57Oh my god, I drank too much.
00:41:00Can we sleep together?
00:41:03You hungry?
00:41:05I made you breakfast.
00:41:08Last night, we...
00:41:12You were drunk.
00:41:13Very drunk.
00:41:14I took care of you.
00:41:15That was it.
00:41:16He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:41:19Jerk.
00:41:21Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:41:36You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:41:41Haven't you dealt with that bitch Elena yet?
00:41:43She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:41:46She's hard to handle.
00:41:47The bodyguard of hers is practically glued on to her.
00:41:49I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:41:52This will not do.
00:41:55She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:41:57Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:42:00If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:42:04What do you want me to do?
00:42:07The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:42:09Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board,
00:42:12which you're going to do.
00:42:13It's invite her to go as your date, and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:42:17Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:42:20We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from reform.
00:42:25Kill two birds with one stone. I like that.
00:42:26Exactly.
00:42:27The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:42:31There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:42:38Elena.
00:42:40Elena.
00:42:42I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:42:48I told you, Mr. Vegas will be chasing this person.
00:42:51He's been at it for ages. His persistence is kind of impressive.
00:43:03Chad, I...
00:43:04Elena, trust me.
00:43:05I can help you win over a couple more board members for the health care reform plan.
00:43:12Yeah. Yes, I'd love to go to dinner.
00:43:16Great. See you later.
00:43:36How do I look?
00:43:39You look beautiful.
00:43:41You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:43:45What, are you jealous?
00:43:47I just don't think that that guy deserves all of this.
00:43:58Oh, speak of the devil.
00:44:01Beautiful.
00:44:02Elena, we should get going. We're going to be late.
00:44:04And, uh, Ace, remember your place.
00:44:08Okay, there, sport?
00:44:10You're the bodyguard.
00:44:12So make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:44:33Elena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses,
00:44:38but I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:44:44Forget about that for a moment.
00:44:46What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:44:50Given the company's current PR crisis,
00:44:53announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:44:57Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:45:00Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken. Chad and I are-
00:45:05Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:45:11Our company has faced challenges recently,
00:45:16but on this special night,
00:45:19our new CEO, Miss Elena Pearson, would like to say a few words.
00:45:27Before Miss Pearson says anything,
00:45:31I have a surprise for her.
00:45:36I have a surprise for her.
00:45:38Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:45:54Will you marry me?
00:45:55Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!
00:46:07Chad, stand up. What are you doing?
00:46:11Come on, let's go. We're leaving.
00:46:26What the hell are you doing, storming out like that in front of all those guests?
00:46:30Do you realize how bad you're making the company's image look?
00:46:33Not really. So what, you're just going to marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:46:37That's ridiculous.
00:46:39Who I marry is none of your business.
00:46:41We're over, Ace. You're just my bodyguard.
00:46:44You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:46:46You don't mean that.
00:46:48You don't love that guy. You barely fucking know him.
00:46:51Who I love is none of your business.
00:46:52You don't love that guy. You barely fucking know him.
00:46:54Who I love is none of your concern.
00:46:57Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins, when you've pushed me away over and over again.
00:47:03Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal, you would have nothing to do with it and you couldn't stop me.
00:47:17Elena! Elena, where are you?
00:47:22Elena, are you in there?
00:47:27Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:47:32Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:47:53I'll be out in a minute.
00:47:56Are you sure you're okay?
00:48:01Yeah, I'm fine. Just go.
00:48:04Yeah, I'm fine. Just go.
00:48:23Ace, you're a bastard.
00:48:26Look, I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:48:29Oh, and you do?
00:48:30Oh, and you do?
00:48:32You abandoned me. We were supposed to get married.
00:48:36You have no right to say that to me.
00:48:39What do you think's going on here?
00:48:41Do you think that I don't love you? I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much I...
00:48:46Elena! Who's in there with you?
00:48:48How much what? What are you saying?
00:48:53How much what? What are you saying?
00:48:55Elena!
00:48:57What do you think?
00:49:01What are you two doing in here?
00:49:04I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:49:07You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:49:11Proposing in front of everyone? What? Have you lost your mind?
00:49:15Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long, and you've never rejected me.
00:49:19So, that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:49:22What? I haven't said anything. You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:49:27What's the difference? Hmm?
00:49:28Everybody already thinks that you're my fiance now.
00:49:31Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.
00:49:35It's only natural for us to meet again.
00:49:37Hey, don't step closer.
00:49:39And who the hell are you?
00:49:41You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:49:43Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:49:46Acting all on your high horse, but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:49:59Bravo! Bravo! You two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
00:50:03Hey, this must be nice, huh? Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:50:08Shut the fuck up.
00:50:10Elena, you have the audacity to accuse me of damaging the company?
00:50:17Take a look in the mirror.
00:50:19You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard. You're the real disgrace to the Pearson Group.
00:50:28You see that girl right there? There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:50:32You're not going to disrespect her. If you show face around here again, I'm going to fuck you too.
00:50:36Do you understand? Do you understand?
00:50:48You left me?
00:50:53Did you mean what you said?
00:50:55Please just tell me the truth. That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:51:02No, Elena. I can't be with you. I'm just a man with a prosthetic. I'm not whole. I'll never be enough for you.
00:51:10That was just impulsive. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
00:51:14You're lying. You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:51:19You'd risk your life for me. You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:51:22That is not just a bodyguard doing his job. That is something more, and you know it.
00:51:27Moments ago, right here, you said that you loved me more than anyone else in the world.
00:51:32Ace, why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:51:38Elena, look.
00:51:44Look, I'm here to guard you. I'm your bodyguard.
00:51:49I shouldn't have crossed the line, and I'm sorry. Now, let's go.
00:51:55Stay away from me.
00:51:57Elena.
00:52:00I'm sorry, Elena. I can't hold you back. You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:52:11Can't handle one woman? Absolutely useless.
00:52:15Can't handle one woman? Absolutely useless.
00:52:19That bitch has been screwing her bodyguard the whole damn time. What do you want me to do?
00:52:23That pathetic freaking loser.
00:52:26I'm going to kill him. It's only a matter of time.
00:52:31If that's the case, there's only one option left.
00:52:35If we want Pearson Group, we're going to have to eliminate her.
00:52:39Just like we did her father.
00:52:45You think you can fix everything with these little tricks? Won't work, Ace.
00:52:51It's your favorite. French toast.
00:52:54Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:52:57I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.
00:53:02Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:53:05I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.
00:53:24Oliver, what are you doing here?
00:53:27This is a signed first edition.
00:53:32Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that down for you.
00:53:38And while you were at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:53:52Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
00:53:57I just want you to be happy, Elena.
00:54:01Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:54:04You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
00:54:08But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
00:54:14It wasn't your fault.
00:54:16None of it was.
00:54:18It was mine.
00:54:20Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:23Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:27Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:32Go make me a coffee. I have a meeting soon.
00:54:41Ms. Pearson, if I may say, Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
00:54:48And from the way you look at him, it's clear you feel the same way.
00:54:54So why not just be together?
00:54:57Oliver, you don't understand. Every time I take a step forward, Ace takes two steps back.
00:55:02It's not that simple.
00:55:04Well then maybe you should take the lead.
00:55:08Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:55:11Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?
00:55:20Maybe.
00:55:31Maybe you should take the lead.
00:55:36The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle and he loved it.
00:55:41Ace, stay here. I have a surprise for you.
00:55:48Alright, and your order will be delivered tonight.
00:55:51Thank you so much.
00:55:52Thank you for shopping with us, Ms. Pearson.
00:56:41Fuck.
00:56:43Josh. Josh! Melinda's been taken. Activate the tracking system. Get the cops involved. I'm going after her.
00:57:01Who are you? Look at this. This is about the company.
00:57:05I'm not a cop.
00:57:07Who are you? Look at this. This is about the company's health care reforms that I promised you. I'm proposing a new plan.
00:57:14It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
00:57:17Shut your mouth.
00:57:19This isn't about health care. You got it all wrong.
00:57:22What?
00:57:29My uncle hired you? He paid you to kill my dad?
00:57:33He paid you to kill my dad?
00:57:35Ding, ding, ding, ding. Took you long enough to figure out.
00:57:38Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:57:42Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head.
00:57:48Okay, I'll sign. But you have to let me go after.
00:57:52Good. Sign it. Then you're free to go.
00:57:57He's lying. As soon as I sign, he'll kill me. Think, Elena, think.
00:58:01Hurry up. Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
00:58:20No, I don't want to die. Please, Ace, save me.
00:58:24Now that this job is completed, I don't have to worry about money ever again.
00:58:31Good job.
00:58:53Drop your weapon or I'll blow her brains out.
00:58:56Ace, don't do it.
00:58:58Drop your weapon!
00:59:06Good job. Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:59:09Good.
00:59:24No.
00:59:30No! No!
00:59:35Are you crazy? He had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after him.
00:59:40I thought I lost you.
00:59:42It's going to be okay.
00:59:46I knew exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes. It's over.
00:59:54No.
00:59:59Who sent you?
01:00:03Okay, just get me a medic. I don't want to die.
01:00:06You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers, so talk!
01:00:11It was Houston. He paid me to kill Carter. The kid and Elena.
01:00:17There's proof.
01:00:18Where?
01:00:19In my left jacket pocket. Just check it!
01:00:23No.
01:00:26Kill that idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.
01:00:34Why would he murder his own brother? My father's been nothing but kind to him.
01:00:44The cops are on the way. Everything's fine.
01:00:47I don't understand. Houston was the company's second largest shareholder. What more could he possibly want?
01:00:55Why would he murder my father?
01:00:59And in front of me too.
01:01:01I'm going to have to live with that image scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life.
01:01:06Some people just want more. And it's never enough. They're just greedy and they're monsters and you never have to think about them again, okay?
01:01:13It's over. It's over.
01:01:18I'm gonna go.
01:01:21Okay. Let's go.
01:01:22Okay.
01:01:33He's pull over.
01:01:35What's wrong?
01:01:37Your arm. It's bleeding. Didn't you notice?
01:01:40No, I didn't notice. It must have happened during the fight.
01:01:43You're unbelievable.
01:01:47It's fine.
01:01:49Just pull over right up there.
01:01:50It's fine.
01:01:51I'll take care of it. We'll stop for a bit.
01:02:05Ace, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
01:02:09Why not? Come on.
01:02:10Tell me the truth or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel it.
01:02:18Hey, look. I screwed up. But that's in the past. I just want to move forward, okay?
01:02:26Ace, be honest with me. Do you still love me?
01:02:29Come on. Don't try and dodge the question.
01:02:33Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't. You charged right in to save me.
01:02:37If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
01:02:43You wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
01:02:47I love you. Always have. Never stop. Not even for a second.
01:02:52I believe you this time. Let's start fresh.
01:02:57I love you, Elena. I've always loved you.
01:02:59I love you.
01:03:08Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
01:03:10I talked to Dr. Dean and he said if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.
01:03:21Today we're here to talk about my healthcare reform strategy.
01:03:25You can't even handle your personal life.
01:03:28The news came out and this company's stock prices fell another five points.
01:03:33And yet you still think you can push through reforms.
01:03:36I'm the first to object.
01:03:38Elena, do you know how the other healthcare companies are mocking us?
01:03:42They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.
01:03:48Uncle Houston, if my scandals are causing such problems for the company,
01:03:53how do you plan to account for the damages that your actions have caused?
01:03:59Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:04:05Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:04:11That's slander.
01:04:13Your father was killed by an angry citizen who was dissatisfied with the current healthcare system.
01:04:18What does that have to do with me?
01:04:24Kill that idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.
01:04:32I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson.
01:04:36And then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
01:04:45I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.
01:04:51You murdered my father and tried to kill me.
01:04:55You need to pay for your crimes.
01:04:57You need to pay for your crimes.
01:04:59Who do you think you are?
01:05:01Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
01:05:04I gave everything to this company.
01:05:06Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson, inherit this company?
01:05:11What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?
01:05:14This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology
01:05:18that increased our claim denial rate to 40 percent.
01:05:22The highest in the industry.
01:05:24And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this.
01:05:28He deserved to die.
01:05:30Every accomplishment you've made has been riding off of the coattails of struggling people and my father's life.
01:05:37And you show no remorse for them.
01:05:39You're a monster.
01:05:42Don't move.
01:05:43Don't move.
01:05:47Raise your hands.
01:05:50Houston Pearson, you're under arrest for first degree murder.
01:06:14Now does anyone else have anything to say?
01:06:19Great.
01:06:21All those in favor of implementing my healthcare reform strategy, raise your hand.
01:06:43Very well.
01:06:45It seems the majority has voted yes.
01:06:48I declare that the healthcare reform plan, with the slogan, deliver, declare, and disclose,
01:06:55has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.
01:07:00Cheers.
01:07:02Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform plan.
01:07:26Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.
01:07:31Bring it in, guys.
01:07:34Congrats, you two.
01:07:36Looks like you guys are officially back together.
01:07:39Should I be planning your reunion party?
01:07:41Yeah, that's enough.
01:07:43Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.
01:07:51Thank you so much, guys.
01:07:52If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my healthcare reform plan would have passed.
01:07:57Especially you, Ace.
01:08:00I don't know what I would have done without you.
01:08:05Well, I'll always be your rock.
01:08:11Cheers.
01:08:23Hey.
01:08:25Hey.
01:08:27Were you looking for me?
01:08:29Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal.
01:08:33He's trying to make everyone join him.
01:08:35Well, at least keep an eye on him.
01:08:38I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.
01:08:41I guess I have to...
01:08:44reserve all my energy for you.
01:08:48Mr. Atkins,
01:08:49your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.
01:08:53What's next on your agenda?
01:08:55I have a few ideas.
01:09:20What's wrong?
01:09:24What's wrong?
01:09:26Nothing. Just...
01:09:32I don't know if we're in the right...
01:09:35place or if it's the right time.
01:09:37What?
01:09:39I don't know.
01:09:41I just...
01:09:43I just...
01:09:45I just...
01:09:47I just...
01:09:49After everything we've been through, Ace,
01:09:51I thought we were past this.
01:09:53I know, but I...
01:09:55But what?
01:09:59I just...
01:10:01I don't think we should rush into this.
01:10:03I think we should think this through, okay?
01:10:05You're a jerk.
01:10:14God, what an asshole.
01:10:16Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:10:20Ace!
01:10:46Ace! Ace!
01:10:47It's okay.
01:10:48Ace!
01:10:49It's okay. He's dead.
01:10:50It's over.
01:11:00Oh, my God!
01:11:02Miss Pearson!
01:11:03I'm going to call an ambulance!
01:11:12Is he going to be okay, Doctor?
01:11:17He's going to be okay.
01:11:25Don't tell Leanne about it.
01:11:28My prosthetic leg.
01:11:31All right.
01:11:32I respect your wishes.
01:11:37Fortunately,
01:11:39the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:11:41His physical condition is excellent,
01:11:43so he should recover quickly.
01:11:45Thank you, Doctor.
01:11:48By the way, there's a police officer
01:11:50waiting for you in the reception room.
01:11:52Okay. I'll go there now, then.
01:11:58Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:12:00Why would someone try and kill me
01:12:02when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:12:07According to our investigation,
01:12:09Chad Vega, one of your company's executives,
01:12:11has been involved in long-term
01:12:13illegal financial crimes with Houston.
01:12:14The killer was hired by him.
01:12:16What?
01:12:18Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:12:20Ten minutes ago,
01:12:22we apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:12:24You can rest assured that
01:12:26with Houston's testimony,
01:12:28all related individuals have been arrested.
01:12:30You're safe.
01:12:32Considering your bodyguard was injured,
01:12:34the police are going to offer you
01:12:36protection until the trial is over.
01:12:39You can rest.
01:12:41I'm going to pick up Ace's car.
01:12:42I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes,
01:12:44and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:12:47Ace?
01:12:59Dear Elena,
01:13:01the bodyguard mission is complete,
01:13:03and you're no longer in danger,
01:13:05so it's time for me to leave.
01:13:07I just wanted to say goodbye,
01:13:09and I wish you all the best.
01:13:10Ace.
01:13:12How?
01:13:14You're leaving me again?
01:13:16I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:13:41It's her.
01:13:43The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:13:46So you're a physical therapist?
01:13:49That's your daughter and husband?
01:13:51Yes.
01:13:53I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:13:56You didn't date Ace,
01:13:58so why did you help him deceive me?
01:14:00This involves Ace's privacy,
01:14:02and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:14:04But Elena,
01:14:06I assure you Ace did not betray you.
01:14:08Then why?
01:14:10Why did he lie to me,
01:14:12make me hate him,
01:14:14and break up with me?
01:14:16I think you're supposed to uncover
01:14:18the truth for yourself.
01:14:20But I think that deep down,
01:14:22Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:14:25He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:14:34Elena,
01:14:36what are you doing here?
01:14:38Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital,
01:14:40do you know where he is?
01:14:42What?
01:14:44Does he know how important it is
01:14:46to recover properly after his surgery
01:14:48for his new prosthetic leg?
01:14:51What do you mean prosthetic leg?
01:14:55Oh man.
01:14:57I wasn't supposed to say that.
01:14:59Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
01:15:01Alright.
01:15:03Three years ago,
01:15:05Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:15:07Your father
01:15:08told him that a disabled person
01:15:10would only burden you.
01:15:12So he pretended to cheat on you
01:15:14and broke up with you.
01:15:16Later, after he got his prosthetic leg,
01:15:18he still felt like a disabled person.
01:15:21He thought a great girl like you
01:15:23deserved better.
01:15:25So he avoided you at critical moments.
01:15:30Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:15:32He's getting his new prosthetic leg
01:15:34fixed right now.
01:15:36Go find him Elena.
01:15:38Why would you keep something
01:15:40so important from me?
01:15:42This time I won't let you go.
01:15:44I won't let you walk away again.
01:15:46Fortunately, you came in time.
01:15:48The old prosthetic didn't do
01:15:50too much damage to the nerves.
01:15:52With treatment,
01:15:54you should recover naturally.
01:15:56This one is newly made for you.
01:15:58Try it.
01:16:00Thanks.
01:16:09This is the secret
01:16:11you've been keeping from me?
01:16:13This is why you've been
01:16:15pushing me away?
01:16:17What are you doing?
01:16:19I'm not doing it.
01:16:20You're not?
01:16:22I'm not doing it.
01:16:24I'm not doing it.
01:16:26I'm not doing it.
01:16:28I'm not doing it.
01:16:30You're not doing it.
01:16:32I'm not doing it.
01:16:34I'm not doing it.
01:16:36I'm not doing it.
01:16:38doing here you shouldn't be here you need to leave
