00:00:00Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare, was fatally shot by a gunman on 5th Avenue.
00:00:05Will Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, be the next target?
00:00:15Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:00:17I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:00:21I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple!
00:00:24It's over. I got myself a new girl.
00:00:27I hate these attitudes!
00:00:30You broke my heart. Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:00:36Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:00:44Elena, I can't be with you. I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:00:48We want Pearson Group.
00:00:50We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:00:52Please, Ace, save me!
00:01:00You
00:01:14Yes!
00:01:22Your deployment's tomorrow.
00:01:24I'm still worried.
00:01:26Don't worry. I'm gonna be back.
00:01:28You'll be safe and sound. The first thing we're gonna do is get married.
00:01:30I'll be waiting.
00:01:48Oh, my God.
00:01:55Oh, my God. It's so good to see you.
00:01:57It's so good to see you.
00:01:59I miss you a lot.
00:02:01I can't wait to go home together.
00:02:03Yeah. What are you having for dinner?
00:02:05I'm so sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace?
00:02:07He was supposed to come out with you.
00:02:09Ace? He's been back for a month.
00:02:11He didn't tell you?
00:02:13What?
00:02:16Call him up. You'll see.
00:02:18Let's go.
00:02:22Ace came back a month ago.
00:02:24But he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:02:27Ace, open up!
00:02:29I know you're in there!
00:02:31Ace!
00:02:33Ace!
00:02:53Ace, what are you doing?
00:02:55Ace, what are you doing?
00:02:57Who is that woman?
00:03:03Ace, open the door!
00:03:05Who the hell are you?
00:03:07And what do you want with Ace?
00:03:09I need to see him.
00:03:15Ace!
00:03:17Explain!
00:03:19Look, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:03:21It's over.
00:03:23I got myself a new girl.
00:03:25It's time for you to move on.
00:03:27What do you mean it's over?
00:03:29I waited for you for three years.
00:03:31You said we were gonna get married when you came back
00:03:33and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:03:35I was just fooling around that whole time.
00:03:37I didn't mean any of it.
00:03:39Besides, I was never in love with you
00:03:41like I am with Sally. She's the one, alright?
00:03:43It's not you.
00:03:45I don't believe you.
00:03:47I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face.
00:03:49You owe me that at least.
00:03:52That's the problem with you, isn't it?
00:03:54You're always demanding this, demanding that.
00:03:56If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy.
00:03:58You're a spoiled, rich heiress
00:04:00and no guy wants a woman like that.
00:04:02Can't you understand that?
00:04:04Just fuck off.
00:04:06My dad was right about you.
00:04:10And I never should have fallen for you.
00:04:12I hate Ace Atkins!
00:04:22Did you really have to be so cruel?
00:04:24I mean, I feel like you probably
00:04:26could have told her the truth.
00:04:28She's not gonna leave you.
00:04:38That's what I'm afraid of.
00:04:40I love her.
00:04:42She's gotta let her go.
00:04:48Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:04:52Let's go.
00:05:12I want you to end things with Elena.
00:05:14The engagement is off.
00:05:16Take this money as your compensation.
00:05:18Mr. Pearson, I
00:05:20obviously always have had a lot of
00:05:22respect for you.
00:05:24Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money.
00:05:26All I need is a chance to talk to Elena.
00:05:28That's all I'm asking for.
00:05:30What can you possibly do for Elena
00:05:32when you can't even stand on your own?
00:05:34All you'll do is break her heart.
00:05:36I'll never let my little girl marry a
00:05:38one-legged cripple.
00:05:40If you really love her, leave her alone!
00:05:48No!
00:06:08Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:06:10I really appreciate it.
00:06:12We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes.
00:06:14I'll go get the equipment.
00:06:18I love you, Elena.
00:06:20Forget about me.
00:06:22You'll find happiness again.
00:06:29Early this morning,
00:06:31Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare,
00:06:33was fatally shot by a gunman
00:06:35on Fifth Avenue.
00:06:37Police suspect the attack may be related
00:06:39to the wave of insurance policy changes
00:06:41that Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement.
00:06:43For now, the gunman remains at large,
00:06:45while Elena Pearson,
00:06:47the victim's daughter,
00:06:49is set to take over as CEO.
00:07:01Clean that up.
00:07:09Good morning, gentlemen.
00:07:11I've called this emergency meeting
00:07:13to make an important announcement.
00:07:16We're going to advance healthcare reform.
00:07:18The goal
00:07:20is to ensure all patients receive
00:07:22fair insurance coverage
00:07:24and to make healthcare more affordable
00:07:26for everyone.
00:07:28My plan...
00:07:32What the hell is your shit plan?
00:07:34You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:07:36I reject it.
00:07:38Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies
00:07:40have led to my father's death.
00:07:42My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:07:44No matter what you say,
00:07:46I will never, ever change my mind.
00:07:50Really?
00:07:52You think you can control the entire group?
00:07:54I'm not the only one
00:07:56against this bullshit plan.
00:08:10Carter!
00:08:14Ah!
00:08:30Ah!
00:08:32Ah!
00:08:42Looks like you all need some more training still.
00:08:44Got a long way to go.
00:08:48Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about
00:08:50meaningful reform, or will she be next
00:08:52on the assassins list?
00:08:54Hey Josh, can you bring me my headset
00:08:56and my jacket, please?
00:08:58Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:09:00You could totally assign someone else to handle Elena's case.
00:09:03So you heard the news too, huh?
00:09:05You think anyone's gonna protect her like I would, Josh?
00:09:09I'll handle it.
00:09:19Elena, today
00:09:21you're going to follow my plan
00:09:23to increase healthcare prices.
00:09:25We will vote to dismiss you
00:09:27as CEO. Simple as that.
00:09:30Without the board's approval
00:09:32you have no right to dismiss me.
00:09:44Have you lost your mind?
00:09:46Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:09:48No one here will testify against me.
00:09:50Just sign the damn paper.
00:09:52Are you all gonna let him do this?
00:09:54Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away
00:09:56on those lowlifes.
00:09:58Because we're not picking your side.
00:10:06Let's go, Ace. Come on.
00:10:21Get your hands off of her.
00:10:23No way.
00:10:25That voice. It can't be him.
00:10:28It can't be him.
00:10:40Long time no see, Ms. Pearson.
00:10:44I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:10:46It's been three years.
00:10:48I've missed you, Elena.
00:10:50You were what?
00:10:52Jesus, Elena.
00:10:54Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:10:56Are you stupid or something?
00:11:00You insult my boss again.
00:11:02You're gonna be the one that needs some fucking healthcare.
00:11:04Okay, everyone out
00:11:06of my boardroom.
00:11:12Leave. Or you're fired.
00:11:14I don't give a shit you're my uncle.
00:11:16There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena.
00:11:18And that's to get rid of them.
00:11:20Just like I got rid of your father.
00:11:26What are you doing here?
00:11:28No one told me anything about needing
00:11:30a personal bodyguard.
00:11:32Oh, Ms. Pearson.
00:11:34Mr. Atkins.
00:11:36I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:11:38Miss,
00:11:40Mr. Ace Atkins
00:11:42is the most sought-after bodyguard
00:11:44in America.
00:11:46Now, as per the contract,
00:11:48he will provide you
00:11:50protection 24 hours
00:11:52to ensure your safety
00:11:55for all times.
00:11:57No.
00:11:59I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:12:03I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:12:05Oliver, you can get me
00:12:07literally anyone else.
00:12:09Anyone but him.
00:12:11Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:12:13With him around,
00:12:15your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:12:17Oliver, can you leave us
00:12:19alone for a minute? I need to talk to him.
00:12:21Yes, ma'am.
00:12:25Ace, what are you doing here?
00:12:27I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:12:29Healthcare CEOs are on high alert
00:12:31right now, and, uh, well,
00:12:33I was worried
00:12:35about you.
00:12:37We broke up three years ago. You cheated on me.
00:12:39You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:12:41The last thing
00:12:43I need right now is you being
00:12:45my bodyguard.
00:12:47The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover
00:12:49the termination fee. Now go.
00:12:51I don't really understand why you're
00:12:53refusing all of this help.
00:12:57Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:13:03Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:13:05Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:13:07You're delusional.
00:13:09Elena.
00:13:15The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now,
00:13:17so just let me protect you.
00:13:19Only an idiot
00:13:21would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them
00:13:23while they were engaged.
00:13:25Let go.
00:13:29Take me home.
00:13:35Elena!
00:13:39Asshole.
00:13:41You broke my heart. Now you come back into my life
00:13:43like it's nothing?
00:13:46That's odd.
00:13:48I turned off the lights
00:13:50when I left the house, right?
00:13:58Someone broke in.
00:14:00The killer?
00:14:02The killer?
00:14:25Why so surprised, princess?
00:14:27Didn't you know you were gonna be next?
00:14:32No. I don't wanna die, please.
00:14:34Someone help me.
00:15:02No.
00:15:16Ace.
00:15:18Oh, God.
00:15:20I thought I was gonna die.
00:15:22You're safe.
00:15:24You're hurt. You're alright.
00:15:26You saved me.
00:15:28Ace.
00:15:32You're bleeding.
00:15:36He might be an asshole,
00:15:38but damn, he's even hotter than he used to be.
00:15:42He's still got that same glow.
00:15:44God, I missed her.
00:15:46Do you remember
00:15:48the last time we, uh...
00:15:50The bathroom?
00:16:02He's harder.
00:16:04Yes, ma'am.
00:16:10That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:16:12I should wrap that up.
00:16:16He tried to stab me in the leg
00:16:18and he missed. It's fine.
00:16:20I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:16:26Ace, is there something wrong?
00:16:28No, it's fine.
00:16:30It's fine.
00:16:32Okay.
00:17:00Oh.
00:17:04Oh, my...
00:17:08Am I interrupting?
00:17:10No.
00:17:12No.
00:17:14Ace cut himself,
00:17:16and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:17:20Mr. Atkins,
00:17:22I brought your luggage up.
00:17:24Wait.
00:17:26He's not staying with me.
00:17:28Yes, Miss Pearson,
00:17:30of course.
00:17:32That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:17:34The contract clearly states
00:17:36that Mr. Atkins
00:17:38must remain by your side
00:17:4024-7 to ensure
00:17:42your safety.
00:17:44Oliver, it's not just about the contract.
00:17:46I can't...
00:17:48I can't let my ex-boyfriend
00:17:50live with me as my bodyguard.
00:17:52You must understand.
00:17:54You might very well
00:17:57be the next target.
00:17:59If you fail to understand this,
00:18:01then I shall have to
00:18:03tender my letter of resignation.
00:18:05Be fine.
00:18:07Oliver, you win.
00:18:09Brilliant.
00:18:11Mr. Atkins,
00:18:13from here on out,
00:18:15Miss Pearson's safety
00:18:17is in your hands.
00:18:23I would take a bullet for her.
00:18:27You're
00:18:29the first door on the left.
00:18:31You can stay there.
00:18:33Elena...
00:18:35Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:18:37We broke up three years ago
00:18:39and that's that.
00:18:41Now, if you're going to be staying here,
00:18:43we need to establish some boundaries.
00:18:45So, here's how it's going to go.
00:18:47You are going to do your job as my bodyguard
00:18:49and I'm going to be your bodyguard.
00:18:51I'm going to be your bodyguard
00:18:53and you're going to be my bodyguard.
00:18:55You're going to do your job as my bodyguard
00:18:57and I'm going to live my life.
00:18:59Nothing else.
00:19:01Is that clear?
00:19:03Crystal...
00:19:05I'll go unpack my stuff.
00:19:19Is this his wallet?
00:19:25He said you never left me,
00:19:27so why do you have a photo of me
00:19:29inside your wallet?
00:19:37I checked the house.
00:19:39It's all clear.
00:19:41Safe to sleep.
00:19:43Great. Thanks.
00:19:45I'm going to go to bed now.
00:19:47Great. Thanks.
00:19:49I'm going to go to bed now.
00:20:13Ah!
00:20:15Shit!
00:20:25Sorry.
00:20:27I thought you were in danger.
00:20:29Hand me that towel.
00:20:45It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:20:53Be professional.
00:20:55I'm still your boss, remember?
00:21:01Yes, ma'am.
00:21:15You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:21:17And after all these years,
00:21:19I still feel the same about you.
00:21:45Hey, sir.
00:21:47I have some scar cream for you.
00:21:49Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:21:55Hey, what's up?
00:21:57Hey.
00:21:59Just...
00:22:01I have something for scars.
00:22:03I can put it on.
00:22:15I'm surprised
00:22:17that you still
00:22:19show this much
00:22:21care for me still.
00:22:23Get over yourself.
00:22:25I'm just helping you
00:22:27because I'm nice.
00:22:29Elena, calm yourself.
00:22:31He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:22:33Okay.
00:22:37I'm done.
00:22:46Okay, what is with you
00:22:48and this blanket?
00:22:50I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:22:52My leg is fine.
00:22:54I'm just sitting.
00:22:56It's how I sit.
00:22:58I call BS. Let me see it.
00:23:12What if I'm
00:23:14hiding something under there?
00:23:16Maybe I'm hiding
00:23:18a boner. Let's see it.
00:23:28You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:23:30You're my bodyguard.
00:23:32We should keep things professional.
00:23:36Goodnight.
00:23:39Goodnight.
00:23:42You're right, Elena.
00:23:44I'm just your bodyguard.
00:23:55Elena,
00:23:57why don't you put this on?
00:23:59It's lightweight.
00:24:01You won't even feel it.
00:24:03I'm not wearing that.
00:24:05You can either do it yourself
00:24:07or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:24:09If you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:24:11Look, I can do it myself.
00:24:19May I?
00:24:21You got it.
00:24:40Why does he have to be
00:24:42so damn attractive?
00:24:44Too tight.
00:24:48Okay, I have to go.
00:24:50I'm late for work.
00:24:52Yes, ma'am.
00:24:58I'm assuming that assassination
00:24:59didn't go as planned?
00:25:01That idiot calls himself a hitman
00:25:02and he can't handle a defenseless woman?
00:25:06Jan, I'm leaving this to you.
00:25:08Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb,
00:25:10and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:25:12Consider it done.
00:25:20Jesus, Chad, how many times
00:25:21have I told you to knock?
00:25:23What are you on?
00:25:25You owe me dinner, remember?
00:25:27I remember.
00:25:29But I'm swamped with work
00:25:31and planning a funeral,
00:25:32so can we take a brain check?
00:25:34Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:25:37You've been working too hard
00:25:38since your father passed.
00:25:39This is how people get burned down.
00:25:41You need to take some time off to relax.
00:25:51Yeah.
00:25:53You know what, let's do dinner.
00:25:59Great.
00:26:07Sir, this is a table for two.
00:26:13Why don't you go sit over there?
00:26:37I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:26:39I gotta keep a tight perimeter
00:26:41around her at all times,
00:26:42but thanks for checking in.
00:26:54Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:26:56You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:26:57Go ahead.
00:27:0382 Lafayette.
00:27:05Your favorite.
00:27:06I found a collector
00:27:07who was willing to sell it to me.
00:27:09Here, have a taste.
00:27:14Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad,
00:27:16that you're not offering me a drink.
00:27:17I am attending this dinner
00:27:18with the two of you, aren't I?
00:27:20Well, Mr. Atkins,
00:27:23seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard,
00:27:25I didn't find it appropriate
00:27:26for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:27:30My apologies.
00:27:32Elena,
00:27:36I know how tough it's been for you,
00:27:38and I want you to know
00:27:39that I'm here for you, always,
00:27:44and that my heart belongs to you.
00:27:48Sorry, Chad,
00:27:50I'm not really in the mood
00:27:51to talk about all that.
00:27:54Can we eat?
00:27:55I'm starving.
00:27:57Yeah, Sam,
00:27:59the mango salad.
00:28:04Oh, hey, Sam, sorry about that.
00:28:06She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:28:08Do you mind bringing out
00:28:09another plate without them?
00:28:11He still remembers?
00:28:13I'll see what I can do about that.
00:28:19Wait, didn't you two just meet?
00:28:21How would he know
00:28:22that you don't like mangoes?
00:28:24How would he know
00:28:25that you don't like mangoes?
00:28:27How would he know
00:28:28that you don't like mangoes?
00:28:30Well, we actually go way back,
00:28:32and I know a hell of a lot more about her
00:28:34than just her preference for mangoes.
00:28:36He's my bodyguard.
00:28:37Of course, Oliver told him everything
00:28:39that he needed to know.
00:28:40I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:28:46Okay, something's definitely going on
00:28:48with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:28:50Something's definitely going on
00:28:51with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:29:17What was that tonight?
00:29:19If I didn't know any better,
00:29:20I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:29:23Maybe you're just seeing things
00:29:24the way you want to see them.
00:29:27You ever think about that?
00:29:29How could I forget?
00:29:30Right, you shattered my heart.
00:29:34Save it.
00:29:36Just go home.
00:29:37You have funeral preparations
00:29:38to make anyway.
00:29:43I'm sorry, Elena.
00:29:45I was just trying to give you
00:29:46a better life.
00:29:48I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:29:54Elena!
00:29:57Elena?
00:29:58Chad!
00:29:59You're back!
00:30:11Dad!
00:30:14What's going on?
00:30:16Please.
00:30:18It's fine, I'm here for you, okay?
00:30:20You're safe.
00:30:22I had a dream about my dad.
00:30:26One second he was smiling at me
00:30:28and then the next.
00:30:38I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:30:42Do you really think that I can make
00:30:44a change in this industry?
00:30:53You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:30:56And I think that you can do anything
00:30:58that you set your heart on.
00:31:00Besides, I'm going to be right here
00:31:01the whole time supporting you.
00:31:03Protecting you.
00:31:06Protecting me?
00:31:10Do you really think I can trust you
00:31:12after what you've put me through?
00:31:16Look, a relationship that is in the past.
00:31:21But I would protect you with my life.
00:31:23I'd die for you.
00:31:26I need you to understand that.
00:31:29So you would die for me,
00:31:30but you won't love me?
00:31:34So you would die for me,
00:31:35but you won't love me?
00:32:03Stay with me.
00:32:07I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:32:11You're my bodyguard
00:32:14and I'm scared.
00:32:18Stay with me
00:32:20so I can feel safe.
00:32:34If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:32:44What are we doing here?
00:32:46I'm going to teach you
00:32:47some basic self-defense techniques.
00:32:49You know, just in case.
00:32:51Always got to be prepared.
00:32:53What I mean is, in case I die first
00:32:55and you're still in danger,
00:32:57you can fight your way out.
00:33:02Fight your way out.
00:33:05First case scenario.
00:33:12What would you do
00:33:13if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:33:18Um...
00:33:21No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:33:25Try putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.
00:33:30That one there.
00:33:33That one there.
00:33:34Push as hard as you can.
00:33:39Ooh.
00:33:40Right. Nice.
00:33:45All right.
00:33:46Second scenario.
00:33:49What if somebody
00:33:52had you like this?
00:33:55What if somebody
00:33:58had you like this?
00:34:01It's just self-defense training.
00:34:03Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:34:06What's your move?
00:34:09Um, I go for the more vulnerable part.
00:34:14Like, stomping on the floor.
00:34:20Very nice.
00:34:21You're a very fast attacker.
00:34:23Very nice.
00:34:24You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:34:27Okay.
00:34:28Third scenario.
00:34:30You ready?
00:34:31All right.
00:34:34What?
00:34:39Someone's got you like this.
00:34:42Starts choking you.
00:34:44Um...
00:34:45You gotta be quick.
00:34:46Like this?
00:34:50Use your hips.
00:34:52What?
00:34:53Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:34:55As hard as you can.
00:35:00Ace, are you okay?
00:35:02Did I hurt your leg?
00:35:03No.
00:35:04What was that sound?
00:35:09It didn't hurt my leg.
00:35:11It's fine.
00:35:12That was a good job.
00:35:13No, you're hurt.
00:35:15Let me...
00:35:16It's fine.
00:35:17That was good work, though.
00:35:18Seriously.
00:35:19Ace, the new security equipment just arrived.
00:35:21Can you come check it out?
00:35:22Yeah, sure.
00:35:23Thanks, Josh.
00:35:25Good job today.
00:35:27Seriously.
00:35:34That sound was weird.
00:35:40Ace is hiding something from me.
00:35:43Hi.
00:35:45Alina, right?
00:35:46I'm Josh.
00:35:48I used to serve with Ace in the military,
00:35:50but now we're colleagues.
00:35:52He talks about you a lot.
00:35:53Hi, Josh.
00:35:56I'm sorry, can I ask...
00:35:58Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:36:04Huh?
00:36:05Leg?
00:36:06No.
00:36:07Not that I know of.
00:36:08You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:36:11Everyone here knows that
00:36:14there's someone he's never been able to forget,
00:36:16and that person is you, Alina.
00:36:20You're mistaken.
00:36:21He...
00:36:22He doesn't love me at all.
00:36:24If you knew him,
00:36:25then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:36:28You know, I might be just an outsider,
00:36:30but I know Ace.
00:36:33Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:36:36All right, I gotta go check up on Ace and the new equipment.
00:36:40It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:36:43Maybe some things aren't what they seem?
00:36:46What does that even mean?
00:36:49Thanks, Josh. Everything looks great.
00:36:50Okay.
00:36:55Ace, Alina asked about your leg.
00:37:00What'd you say?
00:37:04What'd you say?
00:37:05Don't worry, I didn't say a word.
00:37:08But, honestly, man, I think she still cares about you.
00:37:12Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:37:14I appreciate your input, Josh,
00:37:15but I think I know what's best for Alina,
00:37:17and I might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:37:20It's overdue for a replacement.
00:37:22If you keep stalling,
00:37:23you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:37:25You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:37:29I'm still on the job.
00:37:30I can't leave Alina alone.
00:37:31I think that would be very irresponsible of me,
00:37:34don't you think, Josh?
00:37:35Man, you're one hell of a romantic.
00:37:38You know that?
00:37:39Yeah, well, that makes one of us.
00:37:40Why don't you get the hell out of here, all right?
00:37:44Sigh.
00:37:57Almighty God,
00:37:58in your mercy, turn the darkness of death
00:38:01into the dawn of new life,
00:38:03and the sorrow of parting
00:38:05into the joy of heaven
00:38:07through our Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:38:09who died, rose again,
00:38:12and lives forevermore.
00:38:15Amen.
00:38:20My deepest condolences.
00:38:22May your father rest in peace.
00:38:24Your father knew that your reckless reforms
00:38:26would be tearing his company apart.
00:38:28He would never rest in peace.
00:38:30He was your brother.
00:38:32If you had even a shred of affection for him,
00:38:34you would never say something like that at his funeral.
00:38:37You know, Uncle Houston, I've always wondered.
00:38:39You've been far angrier about the health care reforms
00:38:41than my own father's murder.
00:38:43Could it be that you had something to do with his death?
00:38:47That is outrageous slander.
00:38:50How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother
00:38:53at his funeral?
00:39:03Sorry for your loss.
00:39:09
00:39:11
00:39:37It's enough.
00:39:39It's enough.
00:39:45This was my father's favorite.
00:39:47I got it for him for his birthday,
00:39:49but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:40:02Right here.
00:40:04Not going anywhere.
00:40:10Get out.
00:40:13No.
00:40:16Don't go.
00:40:22Can you promise you won't leave me again?
00:40:26I promise.
00:40:28I'll never leave you again.
00:40:30Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:40:34Someone that you can't forget.
00:40:36Is that someone me?
00:40:39Tell me, Ace.
00:40:47Yes.
00:40:49That someone is you.
00:40:51And it always has been.
00:40:53If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:40:56Look, it's been a long day.
00:40:58I don't think we should talk about it.
00:41:01I'm just gonna end up hurting you.
00:41:03You did hurt me.
00:41:05Three years ago, I waited for you to come back and marry me,
00:41:09and then you left me for another woman.
00:41:12You broke my heart.
00:41:14And then you just waltzed back in my life like nothing happened.
00:41:18No. No!
00:41:20
00:41:36
00:41:39
00:42:04Oh, my God, I drank too much.
00:42:07Can we sleep together?
00:42:10Hungry?
00:42:12Get you breakfast.
00:42:14Last night, I...
00:42:17We...
00:42:19You were drunk. Very drunk.
00:42:21I took care of you. That was it.
00:42:23He's not gonna mention the kiss?
00:42:26Jerk.
00:42:29Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me,
00:42:34Mr. Bodyguard.
00:42:45You've been far angrier about the health care reforms
00:42:48than my own father's murder.
00:42:50Haven't you dealt with that bitch Elena yet?
00:42:52She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:42:55She's hard to handle.
00:42:57The Bodyguard of hers is practically glued on to her.
00:43:00I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:43:02This I will not do.
00:43:05She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:43:07Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:43:10If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:43:14What do you want me to do?
00:43:17The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:43:19Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board.
00:43:22What you're going to do is invite her to go as your date,
00:43:25and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:43:27Tell her she'll get more support from the board
00:43:29if she's married with a husband.
00:43:31And use the engagement to shift public focus away from reform.
00:43:35Kills two birds with one stone. I like that.
00:43:37Exactly. The media will be there,
00:43:39and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:43:41There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:43:49Elena.
00:43:51I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:43:57I told you, Mr. Vegas would be chasing this person.
00:44:00He's been at it for ages. His persistence is kind of impressive.
00:44:11Chad, I...
00:44:13Elena, trust me.
00:44:15I can help you win over a couple more board members for the healthcare reform plan.
00:44:23Yeah. Yes, I'd love to go to dinner.
00:44:26Great. See you later.
00:44:30Bye.
00:44:47How do I look?
00:44:49You look beautiful.
00:44:51You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:44:55What, are you jealous?
00:44:58I just don't think that that guy...
00:45:01deserves...
00:45:04all of this.
00:45:09Oh, speak of the devil.
00:45:12Beautiful.
00:45:14Elena, we should get going. We're going to be late.
00:45:16And, uh, Ace,
00:45:19remember your place, okay, there, sport?
00:45:21You're the bodyguard.
00:45:24So make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:45:43Elena's healthcare reform plan might have some short-term losses,
00:45:47but I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:45:53Forget about that for a moment.
00:45:54What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:45:59Given the company's current PR crisis,
00:46:02announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:46:05Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:46:09Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:46:13Chad and I are...
00:46:14Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:46:18Our company has faced challenges recently,
00:46:23but on this special night,
00:46:26our new CEO, Miss Elena Pearson,
00:46:30would like to say a few words.
00:46:35Before Miss Pearson says anything,
00:46:37I have a surprise for her.
00:46:42I have a surprise for her.
00:46:44Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:47:00Will you marry me?
00:47:01Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!
00:47:07Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!
00:47:14Chad, stand up. What are you doing?
00:47:18Come on, let's go. We're leaving.
00:47:38What the hell are you doing storming out like that in front of all those guests?
00:47:42Do you realize how bad you're making the company's image look?
00:47:44No, really. So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:47:48That's ridiculous.
00:47:49Who I marry is none of your business.
00:47:52We're over, Ace. You're just my bodyguard.
00:47:54You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:47:56You don't mean that.
00:47:58You don't love that guy. You barely fucking know him.
00:48:01Who I love is none of your concern.
00:48:05Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins,
00:48:07when you've pushed me away over and over again.
00:48:10Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal,
00:48:12you would have nothing to do with it and you couldn't stop me.
00:48:24Elena! Elena, where are you?
00:48:29Elena, are you in there?
00:48:35Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:48:40Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:49:05I'll be out in a minute.
00:49:08Are you sure you're okay?
00:49:11Yeah, I'm fine. Just go.
00:49:30Ace, you're a bastard.
00:49:33Okay, all right. I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:49:36Oh, and you do?
00:49:38You abandoned me. We were supposed to get married.
00:49:42You have no right to say that to me.
00:49:45What do you think's going on here?
00:49:47Do you think that I don't love you?
00:49:50I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much I...
00:49:52Elena! Who's in there with you?
00:49:54How much what? What are you saying?
00:49:59How much what? What are you saying?
00:50:01Elena!
00:50:03What do you think?
00:50:09What are you two doing in here?
00:50:11I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:50:14You told me it was just a date to the gala,
00:50:16and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:50:18Proposing in front of everyone?
00:50:20What? Have you lost your mind?
00:50:22Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long,
00:50:24and you've never rejected me.
00:50:26So that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:50:29What? I haven't said anything.
00:50:32You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:50:34What's the difference, hmm?
00:50:36Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancée now.
00:50:39Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.
00:50:42It's only natural for us to meet again.
00:50:44Hey, don't step closer.
00:50:46And who the hell are you?
00:50:48You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:50:51Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:50:53Acting all on your high horse,
00:50:55but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:51:06Bravo, bravo.
00:51:08You two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
00:51:10Hey, this must be nice, huh?
00:51:12Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:51:14Shut the fuck up.
00:51:15Smacked her, struck a nerve.
00:51:17Elena, you have the audacity
00:51:20to accuse me of damaging the company?
00:51:24Take a look in the mirror.
00:51:26You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:51:28You're the real disgrace to the Pearson Group.
00:51:30Boom!
00:51:33Damn!
00:51:35You see that girl right there?
00:51:37There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:51:39You're not gonna disrespect her.
00:51:41You show face around here again, I'm gonna fuck you to it.
00:51:43Do you understand? Do you understand?
00:51:55You left me?
00:51:58Did you mean what you said?
00:52:02Please just tell me the truth.
00:52:04That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:52:09No, Elena, I can't be with you.
00:52:11I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:52:14I'm not whole. I'll never be enough for you.
00:52:16That was just impulsive.
00:52:18I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
00:52:20You're lying.
00:52:22You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:52:25You'd risk your life for me.
00:52:27You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:52:29That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
00:52:31That is something more, and you know it.
00:52:34Moments ago, right here, you said that you love me
00:52:36more than anyone else in the world.
00:52:38Is...
00:52:42Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:52:45Elena, look.
00:52:51Look.
00:52:53Look.
00:52:55I'm here to guard you.
00:52:57I'm your bodyguard.
00:53:00I shouldn't have crossed the line, and I'm sorry.
00:53:03Now, let's go.
00:53:06Stay away from me.
00:53:08Elena.
00:53:11I'm sorry, Elena.
00:53:13I can't hold you back.
00:53:15You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:53:23Can't handle one woman?
00:53:25Absolutely useless.
00:53:27That bitch has been screwing her bodyguard the whole damn time.
00:53:29What do you want me to do?
00:53:31That pathetic freaking loser.
00:53:34I'm gonna kill him.
00:53:37It's only a matter of time.
00:53:39If that's the case, there's only one option left.
00:53:43If we want Pearson Group, we're going to have to eliminate her.
00:53:47Just like we did her father.
00:53:54You think you can fix everything with these little tricks?
00:53:57Won't work, Ace.
00:53:59It's your favorite.
00:54:01French toast.
00:54:03Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:54:06I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like...
00:54:10how you remember it.
00:54:23Oliver, what are you...
00:54:25what are you doing here?
00:54:27This is a signed first edition.
00:54:31Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections
00:54:34to track that down for you.
00:54:37And while you were at your meetings,
00:54:40he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:54:45I'm sorry.
00:54:47I'm sorry.
00:54:49He took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:55:00Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
00:55:07I just want you to be happy, Elena.
00:55:10Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:55:13You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
00:55:18But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
00:55:23It wasn't your fault.
00:55:25None of it was.
00:55:27It was mine.
00:55:30Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:55:35Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:55:40Go make me a coffee.
00:55:42I have a meeting soon.
00:55:48Ms. Pearson, if I may say,
00:55:52Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
00:55:56And from the way you look at him, it's clear you feel the same way.
00:56:01So why not just be together?
00:56:04Oliver, you don't understand.
00:56:06Every time I take a step forward, Ace takes two steps back.
00:56:10It's not that simple.
00:56:12Well, then maybe you should take the lead.
00:56:16Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:56:19Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?
00:56:28Maybe.
00:56:40Maybe you should take the lead.
00:56:44The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle.
00:56:47And he loved it.
00:56:49Ace, stay here. I have a surprise for you.
00:56:56Alright, and your order will be delivered tonight.
00:56:59Thank you so much.
00:57:00Thank you for shopping with us, Ms. Pearson.
00:57:13Huh!
00:57:14Hm!
00:57:15Huh!
00:57:44Josh!
00:57:53Oh.
00:57:55Fuck!
00:57:57Josh! Josh!
00:57:59Elena's been taken.
00:58:00Activate the tracking system. Get the cops involved.
00:58:02I'm going after her.
00:58:13Who are you?
00:58:14Look, if this is about the company's health care reforms, then I promise you, I'm proposing
00:58:20a new plan.
00:58:21It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
00:58:25Shut your mouth.
00:58:28This isn't about health care.
00:58:29You got it all wrong.
00:58:30What?
00:58:31My uncle hired you?
00:58:32He paid you to kill my dad?
00:58:33Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:58:34Took you long enough to figure out.
00:58:46Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:58:48Now, sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head.
00:58:54Okay, I'll sign, but you have to let me go after.
00:59:01Good.
00:59:02If you sign it, then you're free to go.
00:59:05He's lying.
00:59:06As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
00:59:08Think, Elena, think.
00:59:09Hurry up.
00:59:10Don't try anything stupid or I'll break your legs before you can escape.
00:59:21No, I don't want to die.
00:59:31Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please,

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