00:00What are you two doing in here?
00:05I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:08You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:12Proposing in front of everyone?
00:13What?
00:14Have you lost your mind?
00:15Helena, I have been pursuing you for so long, and you've never rejected me.
00:20So that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:24What?
00:25I haven't said anything.
00:26You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:28What's the difference?
00:29I mean, everybody already thinks that you're my fiancée now.
00:32Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.
00:35It's only natural for us to be together.
00:37Hey, don't step closer.
00:39And who the hell are you?
00:41You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:44Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:46Acting all on your high horse, but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:51You're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
01:00Bravo!
01:01Bravo!
01:02You two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
01:03Hey, this must be nice, huh?
01:05Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
01:08Shut the fuck up.
01:09What's the matter?
01:10Struggling nerve?
01:11Helena, you have the audacity to accuse me of damaging the company?
01:17Take a look in the mirror.
01:20You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
01:22You're the real disgrace of the Pearson Group.
01:30See that girl right there?
01:31There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
01:33You're not going to disrespect her.
01:35You show face around here again, I'm going to fucking kill her.
01:37Do you understand?
01:38Do you understand?
01:50You left me?
01:55Did you mean what you said?
01:58Please just tell me the truth.
02:00That's all it takes for us to start over.
02:06No, Helena.
02:07I can't be with you.
02:08I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
02:10I'm not whole.
02:11I'll never be enough for you.
02:13It was just impulsive.
02:14I shouldn't have said that.
02:15I'm sorry.
02:17You're lying.
02:18You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
02:22You'd risk your life for me.
02:23You'd stay up all night to protect me.
02:25That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
02:28That is something more and you know it.
02:31Moments ago, right here, you said that you love me more than anyone else in the world.
02:35Ace.
02:39Why won't you admit that you still love me?
02:42Helena, look at it.
02:43Look at it.
02:47Look.
02:49I'm here to guard you.
02:52I'm your bodyguard.
02:54I shouldn't have crossed the line and I'm sorry.
02:58Now, let's go.
03:01Stay away from me.
03:03Helena.
03:06I'm sorry, Helena.
03:08I can't hold you back.
03:09You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
03:13I'm sorry.
03:18Can't handle one woman?
03:20Absolutely useless.
03:21My bitch has been screaming bodyguard the whole damn time.
03:23What do you want me to do?
03:25That pathetic freaking loser.
03:29I'm going to kill him.
03:31It's only a matter of time.
03:33If that's the case, there's only one option left.
03:37If we want Pearson Group, we're going to have to eliminate her.
03:40Just like we did her father.
03:55You think you can fix everything with these little tricks?
03:58Won't work, Ace.
04:00It's your favorite.
04:02French toast.
04:04Been up since six making sure everything was perfect.
04:07I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like
04:11how you remember it.
04:26Oliver, what are you doing here?
04:30This is a signed first edition.
04:33Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections
04:36to track that down for you.
04:39And while you were at your meetings,
04:41he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
04:53Do you really think gestures like these
04:55are going to make me forgive you?
05:00I just want you to be happy.
05:01I just want you to be happy.
05:03Elena, whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
05:08You have every right to hate me and to push me away
05:10if that's what you want.
05:12But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
05:18It wasn't your fault.
05:20Not if it was.
05:22It was mine.
05:24Don't think you've won me over.
05:26I haven't forgiven you yet.
05:28Don't think you've won me over.
05:29I haven't forgiven you yet.
05:32Go make me a coffee.
05:34I have a meeting soon.
05:41Ms. Pearson, if I may say,
05:45Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
05:49And from the way you look at him,
05:51it's clear you feel the same way.
05:54It's clear you feel the same way.
05:57So why not just be together?
06:00Oliver, you don't understand.
06:01Every time I take a step forward,
06:03he takes two steps back.
06:06It's not that simple.
06:08Well, then maybe you should take the lead.
06:12Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
06:15Why not use the occasion to clear the air
06:19and finally talk it through?
06:24Maybe.
06:36Maybe you should take the lead.
06:40The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle.
06:43And he loved it.
06:45Ace, stay here.
06:46I have a surprise for you.
06:47All right.
06:48And your order will be delivered tonight.
06:50Thank you so much.
06:51Thank you for shopping with us, Ms. Pearson.
07:47Fuck!
07:49Josh, Josh!
07:51Elena's been taken.
07:52Activate the tracking system.
07:53Get the cops involved.
07:54I'll go and after her.
08:10Who are you?
08:11Look at this.
08:12This is about the company's health care reform.
08:14It's all about the health care reform.
08:16And I promise you I'm proposing a new plan.
08:19It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
08:22Shut your mouth.
08:24This isn't about health care.
08:26You got it all wrong.
08:27What?
08:35My uncle hired you?
08:37He paid you to kill my dad?
08:39It didn't take you long enough to figure out.
08:42Daddy's little girl is so clever.
08:46Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head.
08:52Okay, I'll sign.
08:54But you have to let me go after.
08:56Good.
08:58Sign it.
08:59Then you're free to go.
09:01He's lying.
09:02As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
09:04Think, Elena, think.
09:06Hurry up.
09:08Don't try anything stupid or I'll break your legs before you can escape.
09:14No.
09:25No, I don't want to die.
09:27Please, Ace, save me.
09:32Now that this job is completed, I can never have to worry about money ever again.
09:39Good job.
09:40Hey.
09:58Drop your weapon or I'll blow her brains out.
10:01Ace, don't do it.
10:03Drop your weapon.
10:10Good job.
10:11Close your eyes and look toward me.
10:14Good.
10:29No.
10:35No!
10:36No!
10:40Are you crazy?
10:42You had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after him.
10:46I thought I lost you.
10:47It's gonna be okay.
10:52I knew exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.
10:55It's over.
11:05Who shot you?
11:06Talk.
11:09Okay, just get me a medic.
11:10I don't want to die.
11:11You're gonna get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers, so talk.
11:16It was Houston.
11:19He paid me to kill Carter.
11:21I can't have Elena.
11:23There's proof.
11:24Where?
11:25My left jacket pocket.
11:26Just check it.
11:28No!
11:32Kill that idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.
11:41Why would he murder his own brother?
11:43My father's been nothing but kind to him.
11:51The cops are on the way.
11:53Everything's fine.
11:54Ace, I don't understand.
11:55Houston was the company's second largest shareholder.
11:58What more could he possibly want?
12:01Why would he murder my father?
12:05And in front of me too.
12:07I'm gonna have to live with that image scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life.
12:12Some people just want more.
12:14And it's never enough.
12:15They're just greedy and they're monsters and you never have to think about them again, okay?
12:19It's over.
12:21It's over.
12:25I'm gonna go home.
12:27Okay.
12:28Let's go.
12:29Okay.
12:41Ace, pull over.
12:43What's wrong?
12:44Your arm.
12:45It's bleeding.
12:46Didn't you notice?
12:47No, I didn't notice.
12:48Must have happened during the fight.
12:50You're unbelievable.
12:53It's fine.
12:54It's fine.
12:56Just pull over right up there.
12:57It's fine.
12:58No, I'll take care of it.
12:59We'll stop for a bit.
13:11Ace, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
13:16What?
13:17Come on.
13:18Tell me the truth or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel it.
13:24Hey, look.
13:25I screwed up.
13:26But that's in the past.
13:27I just want to move forward.
13:28Okay?
13:29Ace, be honest with me.
13:30Do you still love me?
13:31Come on.
13:32Don't try and dodge the question.
13:33Today, you could have called for backup, but you didn't.
13:34You charged right in to save me.
13:35If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
13:36I love you.
13:37I love you.
13:38I love you.
13:39I love you.
13:40I love you.
13:41I love you.
13:42I love you.
13:43I love you.
13:44I love you.
13:45I love you.
13:46I love you.
13:47I love you.
13:48I love you.
13:49I love you.
13:50I love you.
13:51I love you.
13:52I love you.
13:53I love you.
13:55Always have.
13:56Never stop.
13:57Not even for a second.
13:58I believe you this time.
13:59Let's start fresh.
14:00I love you, Elena.
14:01I've always loved you.
14:02Come here.
14:03Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
14:04I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever
14:05lose sensation.
14:06but we still have a chance.
14:07Come here.
14:12Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
14:18I talked to Dr. Dean and he said,
14:20if you don't get treated soon,
14:21your leg may forever lose sensation.
14:30Today we're here to talk about
14:31my healthcare reform strategy.
14:33You can't even handle your personal life.
14:36The news came out and this company's stock prices
14:39fell another five points.
14:41And yet you still think you can push through reforms.
14:45I'm the first to object.
14:46Elena, do you know how the other
14:48healthcare companies are mocking us?
14:50They're saying that we're spineless idiots
14:52because we let a woman become the CEO.
14:57Uncle Houston, if my scandals are causing
15:00such problems for the company,
15:02how do you plan to account for the damages
15:05that your actions have caused?
15:08Like hiring someone to kill my father.
15:14Like hiring someone to kill my father.
15:20That's slander.
15:22Your father was killed by an angry citizen
15:24who was dissatisfied with the current healthcare system.
15:27What does that have to do with you?
15:33Kill that idiot Carter Pearson
15:35and the $5 million is yours.
15:41I testify that Houston Pearson
15:43paid me to kill Carter Pearson
15:45and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
15:54I hereby declare that Houston Pearson
15:57is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.
16:01You murdered my father and tried to kill me.
16:04You need to pay for your crimes.
16:07You need to pay for your crimes.
16:08Who do you think you are?
16:10Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
16:13I gave everything to this company.
16:16Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson,
16:19inherit this company?
16:21What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?
16:24This company's profits doubled
16:26because I developed AI technology
16:28that increased our claim denial rate to 40%,
16:31the highest in the industry.
16:33And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this.
16:37He deserved to die.
16:39Every accomplishment you've made
16:41has been riding off of the coattails of struggling people
16:45and my father's life.
16:46And you show no remorse for them.
16:48You're a monster.
16:52Go.
16:56Raise your hands.
16:58You, Sir Pearson, you're under arrest for first-degree murder.
17:29Now, does anyone else have anything to say?
17:34Great.
17:35All those in favor of implementing
17:37my health care reform strategy, raise your hand.
17:59Very well.
18:00It seems the majority has voted yes.
18:03I declare that the health care reform plan,
18:06with the slogan, deliver, declare and disclose,
18:10has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.
18:15Cheers.
18:16Yes.
18:18Congratulations on the huge success of the health care reform.
18:22Drink it in, guys.
18:26Congrats, you two.
18:29Cheers.
18:30Cheers.
18:31Cheers.
18:32Cheers.
18:33Cheers.
18:34Cheers.
18:35Cheers.
18:36Cheers.
18:37Congratulations on the huge success of the health care reform.
18:41Bring it in, guys.
18:44Congrats, you two.
18:46Looks like you guys are officially back together.
18:49Should I be planning your reunion party?
18:51Yeah, that's enough.
18:52Oh, Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.
19:01Thank you so much, guys.
19:03If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my health care reform plan would have passed.
19:08Especially you, Ace.
19:11I don't know what I would have done without you.
19:16Well, I'll always be your rock.
19:22Cheers!
19:34Hey.
19:37Hey.
19:39Were you looking for me?
19:41Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal.
19:43What?
19:45He's trying to make everyone join him.
19:47Well, first keep an eye on him.
19:50I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.
19:53I guess I have to reserve all my energy for you.
20:00Mr. Hackens, your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.
20:06What's next on your agenda?
20:08I have a few ideas.
20:30What's wrong?
20:46What's wrong?
20:48Nothing, just...
20:53I don't know if we're in the right place or if it's the right time.
20:58What?
21:00After everything we've been through, Ace, I thought we were past this.
21:04I know, but I...
21:06But what?
21:10I just... I don't think we should rush into this.
21:13I think we should think this through, okay?
21:16You're a jerk.
21:25God, I'm an asshole.
21:27Why does he keep pushing me away?
21:56Ace! Ace!
21:59It's okay.
22:00Ace!
22:01It's okay, he's dead. It's over.
22:12Oh my God, Miss Pearson! I'm going to call an ambulance!
22:24Is he going to be okay, Doctor?
22:33No.
22:36Don't tell me about it.
22:40I've not studied fighting.
22:43All right, I respect your wishes.
22:49Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
22:53His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
22:58Thank you, Doctor.
23:00By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
23:04Okay, I'll go there now then.
23:11Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
23:13Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
23:20According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives, has been involved in long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.
23:29The killer was hired by him.
23:31What?
23:33Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
23:35Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
23:39You can rest assured that with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.
23:44Are you safe?
23:46Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
23:53You can rest.
23:56I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
24:01Ace?
24:13Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete and you're no longer in danger, so it's time for me to leave.
24:19I just wanted to say goodbye and I wish you all the best.
24:23Ace.
24:25What the hell?
24:27You're leaving me again?
24:29I won't let you leave without an explanation.
24:56And it's her, the woman that Ace cheated on me with.
25:01So you're a physical therapist?
25:04That's your daughter and husband?
25:06Yes.
25:08I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
25:11You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
25:15This involves Ace's privacy and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
25:20But Elena, I assure you Ace did not betray you.
25:24Why?
25:26Why did he lie to me, make me hate him and break up with me?
25:30I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
25:35But I think that deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
25:40He's just too afraid to tell you.
25:50Elena, what are you doing here?
25:52Ace isn't at the hospital and he just left me a note. Do you know where he is?
25:56What?
25:58Does he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
26:05What do you mean prosthetic leg?
26:09Oh man, I wasn't supposed to say that.
26:12Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
26:17Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
26:21Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.
26:26So, he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
26:30Later, after he got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.
26:35He thought a great girl like you deserved better.
26:38So, he avoided you at critical moments.
26:44Go check out the rehabilitation center.
26:46He's getting his new prosthetic leg fixed right now. Go find him.
26:50Ace, you jerk. How could you keep something so important from me?
26:55This time, I won't let you go. I won't let you walk away again.
27:01Fortunately, you came in time. The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
27:06With treatment, you should recover naturally.
27:09This one is newly made for you. Try it.
27:12Thanks.
27:43This is the secret you've been keeping from me?
27:47This is why you've been pushing me away?
27:50What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.
27:57This is why you've been pushing me away?
28:01Elena, you shouldn't be seeing me like this. I need you to leave right now.
28:06Why wouldn't you just tell me?
28:09Why wouldn't you just tell me?
28:11Do you really think that little of me?
28:14That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
28:17How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena?
28:20I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
28:26Huh?
28:27I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.
28:31I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay? I mean, just fucking look at me.
28:34Elena, I can't even stand up straight.
28:36But I love you.
28:39Ace, can't you see?
28:42No matter how you feel about yourself, I've always loved you. Always.
28:52Elena, come on. Why?
28:54Just stop pushing me away.
28:57Ace Atkins, you listen to me right now.
29:03You have left me so many times.
29:07You can't keep running from me.
29:09I am here to stay.
29:12Got it?
29:14I love you so much. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
29:18I love you.
29:35Nothing feels uncomfortable?
29:37Come on, don't try and be tough.
29:39This one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
29:43You know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
29:47I'm disabled, and I might become a burden to you when we're older.
29:52Have you thought about that?

30:01I love Ace Atkins. The person, not the leg.
30:06So what if you're missing a leg? I will love you all the same.
30:09Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
30:14No. No, of course not.
30:17I will always be by your side.
30:19Well, let me do the same.
30:23I am choosing you, okay?
30:28Got it.
30:31I love you.

30:52Miss Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success, making you the most popular CEO in the U.S.
30:59What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
31:03I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great planning, but also because of my fiancé, Ace Atkins.
31:15His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
