Short filmTranscript
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!
00:00:25It's over. I got myself a new girl.
00:00:28I hate Ace Atkins!
00:00:33You broke my heart. Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:00:37Are 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.
00:00:49We want Pearson Group. We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:00:53Please, Ace, save me!
00:00:58You
00:01:14Yes!
00:01:22Your deployment's tomorrow. I'm still worried.
00:01:25Don't worry. I'm gonna be back. I'm gonna be safe and sound.
00:01:28The first thing we're gonna do is get married.
00:01:30I'll be waiting.
00:01:49Oh, 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.
00:02:01Can'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.
00:02:19Let's go.
00:02:22Ace came back a month ago.
00:02:25But he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:02:32Ace, open up! I know you're in there!
00:02:35Ace! Ace!
00:02:52Ace, what are you doing?
00:02:54Who is that woman?
00:02:59Ace, open the door!
00:03:02Who the hell are you, and what do you want with Ace?
00:03:04I need to see him.
00:03:12Ace! Explain!
00:03:15Look, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:03:17It's over.
00:03:19I got myself a new girl.
00:03:21It's time for you to move on.
00:03:23What do you mean it's over?
00:03:25I waited for you for three years.
00:03:27You said we were going to get married when you came back,
00:03:29and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:03:31I was just fooling around that whole time.
00:03:33I didn't mean any of it.
00:03:35Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally.
00:03:38She's the one, all right? It's not you.
00:03:40I don't believe you.
00:03:42I don't believe you.
00:03:44It's not you.
00:03:46I don't believe you.
00:03:48I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face.
00:03:50You 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.
00:04:12Please, Adkins!
00:04:24Did you really have to be so cruel?
00:04:26I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth.
00:04:28She's not going to leave you.
00:04:38That's what I'm afraid of.
00:04:40I love her.
00:04:42I just gotta let her go.
00:04:48Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:05:10I want you to end things with Elena.
00:05:12The engagement is off.
00:05:14Take 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 when you can't even stand on your own?
00:05:32All you'll do is
00:05:34break her heart.
00:05:36I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:05:38If you really love her,
00:05:40leave her alone!
00:05:42Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:05:44Really appreciate it.
00:06:12We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes.
00:06:14I'll go get the equipment.
00:06:20I love you, Elena.
00:06:22Forget about me.
00:06:24You'll find happiness again.
00:06:30Early this morning,
00:06:32Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare,
00:06:34was fatally shot by a gunman
00:06:36on Fifth Avenue.
00:06:38Police suspect the attack may be related to the
00:06:40insurance policy changes that Pearson Healthcare
00:06:42is preparing to implement.
00:06:44For now, the gunman remains at large,
00:06:46while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter,
00:06:48is set to take over as CEO.
00:07:00Clean that up.
00:07:02Good morning, gentlemen.
00:07:04I've called this emergency meeting
00:07:06to make an important announcement.
00:07:08I will be continuing to advance
00:07:10healthcare reform.
00:07:12The goal
00:07:14is to ensure all patients receive
00:07:16fair insurance coverage
00:07:18and to make healthcare more affordable
00:07:20for everyone.
00:07:22My plan...
00:07:26Help me!
00:07:28Help me!
00:07:30What the hell
00:07:32is 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 have led
00:07:40to 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,
00:07:48ever 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.
00:08:00Come on.
00:08:30Ah!
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
00:08:50about meaningful reform, or will she be next
00:08:52on the assassin's list?
00:08:54Hey, Josh, can you bring me my headset
00:08:56and my jacket, please?
00:08:58You're the CEO of the company.
00:09:00You could totally assign someone else to handle
00:09:02Elena's case.
00:09:04So you heard the news too, huh?
00:09:06You think anyone's gonna protect her like I would, Josh?
00:09:10I'll handle it.
00:09:20Elena, today
00:09:22you're going to follow my plan
00:09:24to increase healthcare prices.
00:09:26We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.
00:09:28Simple as that.
00:09:30Without the board's approval, you 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?
00:09:54You're asking us to throw our money away in those lowlifes.
00:09:56Don't blame us because we're not
00:09:58picking your side.
00:10:06Let's go, guys. Come on.
00:10:20Get your hands off of her.
00:10:22No way.
00:10:24That voice.
00:10:26It 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're my 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
00:11:30needing a personal bodyguard.
00:11:32Ms. Pearson.
00:11:34Mr. Atkins.
00:11:36I'm Oliver, the
00:11:38family butler.
00:11:40Mr. Ace Atkins
00:11:42is the most sought-after
00:11:44bodyguard in America.
00:11:46Now, as per the contract,
00:11:48he will provide
00:11:50you protection 24 hours
00:11:52to ensure your safety
00:11:54at all times.
00:11:56No.
00:11:58I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:12:02I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:12:04Oliver, you can get me
00:12:06literally anyone else.
00:12:08Anyone but him.
00:12:10Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:12:12With him around,
00:12:14your safety is practically
00:12:16guaranteed.
00:12:18Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute?
00:12:20I need to talk to him.
00:12:22Yes, ma'am.
00:12:26Ace, what are you doing here?
00:12:28I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:12:30Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now
00:12:32and, uh, well...
00:12:34I was worried about you.
00:12:36We broke up three years ago.
00:12:38You cheated on me. You don't have the right
00:12:40to be worried about me.
00:12:42The only thing I need right now
00:12:44is you being my bodyguard.
00:12:46The contract's already signed,
00:12:48so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:12:50Now go.
00:12:52I don't really understand why you're refusing
00:12:54all of this help.
00:12:56Are you afraid
00:12:58you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:13:02Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love
00:13:04with me again?
00:13:06Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:13:08You're delusional.
00:13:10The rational thing to do
00:13:12is to think of your safety right now,
00:13:14so just let me protect you.
00:13:16Only an idiot
00:13:18would entrust their safety to someone
00:13:20who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:13:22Let go.
00:13:28Take me home.
00:13:32Elena!
00:13:36Asshole.
00:13:38Asshole.
00:13:40You broke my heart.
00:13:42Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:13:48That's odd.
00:13:50I turned off the lights
00:13:52when I left the house, right?
00:14:00Someone broke in.
00:14:02The killer?
00:14:08No.
00:14:24Why so surprised, princess?
00:14:26Didn't you know
00:14:28you were gonna be next?
00:14:32No. I don't want to die, please.
00:14:34Someone help me.
00:14:38No.
00:15:08No.
00:15:14Please.
00:15:16Oh, God.
00:15:18I thought I was gonna die.
00:15:20You're not gonna die.
00:15:22You're safe.
00:15:24You're hurt. Are you alright?
00:15:26You saved me.
00:15:28I...
00:15:32You're bleeding.
00:15:34He might be an asshole,
00:15:36but damn,
00:15:38he's even hotter than he used to be.
00:15:40He's still got that same glow.
00:15:42God, I missed her.
00:15:44Do you remember
00:15:46the last time we, uh...
00:15:48the bathroom?
00:15:50The bathroom.
00:16:04He's hotter.
00:16:06He is now.
00:16:12That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:16:14I should wrap that up.
00:16:16No, no, no.
00:16:18He tried to stab me in the leg
00:16:20and he missed. It's fine.
00:16:22I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:16:28Is there something wrong?
00:16:30It's fine.
00:16:32Okay.
00:16:46Okay.
00:17:04Oh, my...
00:17:08Am I interrupting?
00:17:10No.
00:17:12No.
00:17:14He, uh, cut himself and
00:17:16I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:17:20Mr. Atkins, I, uh,
00:17:22brought 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
00:17:56be the next target.
00:17:58If you fail to
00:18:00understand this,
00:18:02then I shall have to tender
00:18:04my letter of resignation.
00:18:06Okay, fine.
00:18:08Oliver, you win.
00:18:10Brilliant.
00:18:12Mr. Atkins, from here on out,
00:18:14Miss Pearson's safety
00:18:16is in your hands.
00:18:22I would take a bullet for her.
00:18:36You're the first door on the left.
00:18:38You can stay there.
00:18:40Elena...
00:18:42Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:18:44We broke up three years ago,
00:18:46and that's that.
00:18:48Now, if you're going to be staying here,
00:18:50we need to establish some boundaries.
00:18:52So, here's how it's going to go.
00:18:54You are going to do your job as my bodyguard,
00:18:56and I'm going to live my life.
00:18:58Nothing else.
00:19:00Is that clear?
00:19:02Crystal.
00:19:04I'll go unpack my stuff.
00:19:08Okay.
00:19:20Is this his wallet?
00:19:32You said you never left me,
00:19:34so why do you have a photo of me
00:19:36in your room?
00:19:42I checked the house.
00:19:44It's all clear.
00:19:46Safe to sleep.
00:19:48Great. Thanks.
00:19:50I'm going to go to bed now.
00:20:06Ring.
00:20:08Ring.
00:20:14Ah!
00:20:16Shit.
00:20:24Sorry.
00:20:26I thought you were in danger.
00:20:28Just hand me that towel.
00:20:36Ah!
00:20:46It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:20:54Be professional.
00:20:56I'm still your boss, remember?
00:21:02Yes, ma'am.
00:21:06Okay.
00:21:26You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:21:28And after all these years,
00:21:30I still feel the same about you.
00:21:36Hey.
00:21:46Hey, sir.
00:21:48I have some scar cream for you.
00:21:50Yeah, just hold on a second.
00:21:52One minute.
00:21:56Hey, what's up?
00:21:58Hey.
00:22:00Just...
00:22:02I have something for scars.
00:22:04I can put it on.
00:22:16I'm surprised that you still
00:22:20show this much care for me still.
00:22:22Get over yourself.
00:22:26I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:22:28Elena,
00:22:30calm yourself.
00:22:32Relax with a hot body.
00:22:34Okay.
00:22:38Hold on.
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.
00:22:56That's how I sit.
00:22:58I call BS.
00:23:00What?
00:23:12What if I'm
00:23:14hiding something under there?
00:23:16Maybe I'm hiding
00:23:18a boner to see it.
00:23:20Okay.
00:23:28You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:23:30You're my bodyguard.
00:23:32We should keep things professional.
00:23:36Good night.
00:23:40Good night.
00:23:44You're right, Elena.
00:23:46I'm just your bodyguard.
00:23:50Good night.
00:23:56Elena,
00:23:58I want you to put this on.
00:24:00It's lightweight.
00:24:02You won't even feel it.
00:24:04I'm not wearing that.
00:24:06You can either do it yourself
00:24:08or I can strip your clothes off for you.
00:24:10If you ask me,
00:24:12I prefer the latter.
00:24:14I can do it myself.
00:24:20May I?
00:24:22Got it.
00:24:40Why does he have to be
00:24:42so damn attractive?
00:24:44It's okay.
00:24:46Okay.
00:24:48I have to go.
00:24:50I'm late for work.
00:24:52Yes, ma'am.
00:24:58I'm assuming the assassination didn't go as planned.
00:25:00That idiot calls himself a hitman
00:25:02and he can't handle a defenseless woman?
00:25:04Jan,
00:25:06I'm leaving this to you.
00:25:08Seduce Elena,
00:25:10get her under your thumb,
00:25:12and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:25:14Okay.
00:25:20Jesus, Chad.
00:25:22How many times have I told you to knock?
00:25:24What do you want?
00:25:26You owe me dinner, remember?
00:25:28I remember.
00:25:30But I'm swamped with work
00:25:32and planning a funeral,
00:25:34so can we take a brain check?
00:25:36Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:25:38You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:25:40This is how people get burned down.
00:25:42Just relax.
00:25:50Yeah.
00:25:52You know what?
00:25:54Let's do dinner.
00:25:58Great.
00:26:12Sir,
00:26:14this is a table for two.
00:26:18Why don't you go sit over there?
00:26:20Okay.
00:26:42I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:26:44I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times,
00:26:46but thanks for checking in.
00:26:50Thanks.
00:26:56Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:26:58You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:27:00Go ahead.
00:27:0482 Lafite.
00:27:06Your favorite.
00:27:08I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:27:10Here, have a taste.
00:27:16Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad,
00:27:18that you're not offering me a drink.
00:27:20I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:27:22Well, Mr. Atkins,
00:27:24seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard,
00:27:26I didn't find it appropriate
00:27:28for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:27:32My apologies.
00:27:34Elena,
00:27:38I know how tough it's been for you,
00:27:40and I want you to know
00:27:42that I'm here for you.
00:27:44Always.
00:27:46And that my heart belongs to you.
00:27:50Ahem.
00:27:52Sorry, Chad.
00:27:54I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:27:56Um, can we eat?
00:27:58I'm starving.
00:28:00Ahem, yeah.
00:28:02Sam.
00:28:04The mango salad.
00:28:08Oh, hey, Sam.
00:28:10Sorry about that.
00:28:12She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:28:14Did you watch another play without him?
00:28:16He still remembers?
00:28:18I'll see what I can do about that.
00:28:22Wait, didn't
00:28:24you two just meet?
00:28:26How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:28:28How would he know
00:28:30that you don't like mangoes?
00:28:32Well, we actually go way back,
00:28:34and I know a hell of a lot more
00:28:36about her than just her preference for mangoes.
00:28:38He's my bodyguard.
00:28:40Of course, Oliver told him everything
00:28:42I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:28:48Okay, something's definitely going on
00:28:50with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:29:12What was that tonight?
00:29:14If I didn't know any better,
00:29:16I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:29:18Maybe you're just seeing things
00:29:20the way you want to see them.
00:29:22You ever think about that?
00:29:24How could I forget?
00:29:26Right, you shattered my heart.
00:29:30Save it.
00:29:32Just go home.
00:29:34You have funeral preparations to make anyway.
00:29:36I'm sorry, Elena.
00:29:38I was just trying to give you
00:29:40a better life.
00:29:42I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:29:48Elena!
00:29:50Elena?
00:29:52Chad, you're back!
00:30:00What are you doing here?
00:30:02Ah!
00:30:06Ah!
00:30:12Dad!
00:30:14What's going on?
00:30:16Please.
00:30:18It's fine, I'm here, 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.
00:30:32Dad.
00:30:38I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:30:42Do you really think that I can make a change
00:30:44in this industry?
00:30:52You're the strongest woman
00:30:54I'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
00:31:02the whole time supporting you.
00:31:04Protecting you.
00:31:06Protecting me?
00:31:10Do you really think I can trust you
00:31:12after what you've put me through?
00:31:16A relationship that is in the past.
00:31:20But I would protect you with my life.
00:31:22I'd die for you.
00:31:26I need you to understand that.
00:31:28So you would die for me
00:31:30but you won't love me.
00:31:38So you would die for me
00:31:40but you won't love me.
00:31:58Stay with me.
00:32:02Is that how you wanted to keep things professional?
00:32:06You're my bodyguard
00:32:08and I'm scared.
00:32:12Stay with me
00:32:14so I can feel safe.
00:32:28If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:32:38If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:32:48What are we doing here?
00:32:50I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:32:52You know, just in case.
00:32:54Always got to be prepared.
00:32:56What I mean is in case I die first
00:32:58and you're still in danger
00:33:00you can
00:33:02fight your way out.
00:33:04First case scenario.
00:33:12What would you do
00:33:14if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:33:18Um...
00:33:22No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:33:26You're just putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.
00:33:30That one there.
00:33:34Push as hard as you can.
00:33:40Right, nice.
00:33:46Alright, second scenario.
00:33:50What if somebody
00:33:52had you like this?
00:33:56It's just self-defense training.
00:33:58Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:34:00What's your move?
00:34:04Um...
00:34:06I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:34:10Like stomping on the floor.
00:34:14Very nice.
00:34:16You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:34:18Yeah, I am.
00:34:20Very nice.
00:34:22You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:34:24Okay.
00:34:26Third scenario.
00:34:28You ready?
00:34:30Alright.
00:34:32What?
00:34:38Someone's got you like this.
00:34:40Starts choking you.
00:34:42Um...
00:34:44Gotta be quick.
00:34:46Like this?
00:34:48No.
00:34:50Use your hips.
00:34:52What?
00:34:54Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:34:56As hard as you can.
00:35:00Ace, are you okay?
00:35:02Did I hurt your leg?
00:35:04No.
00:35:06What was that sound?
00:35:10It didn't hurt my leg.
00:35:12It's fine. That was a good job.
00:35:14No, you're hurt.
00:35:16It's fine. That was good work, though.
00:35:18Seriously.
00:35:20Ace, the new security equipment just arrived.
00:35:22Can you come check it out?
00:35:24Yeah, sure. Thanks, Josh.
00:35:26Good job today.
00:35:28Seriously.
00:35:34That sound was weird.
00:35:40Ace is hiding something from me.
00:35:42Hi.
00:35:44Alina, 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.
00:35:54Hi, Josh.
00:35:56I'm sorry, can I ask?
00:35:58Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:36:04Huh? Leg?
00:36:06No, not that I know of.
00:36:08You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:36:10Everyone here knows that
00:36:12there's someone he's never been able to forget,
00:36:14and that person is you, Alina.
00:36:18You're mistaken.
00:36:20He doesn't love me at all.
00:36:22If you knew him,
00:36:24then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:36:26You know,
00:36:28I might be just an outsider,
00:36:30but I know Ace.
00:36:32Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:36:34All right.
00:36:36I gotta go check up on Ace and the new equipment.
00:36:38It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:36:42Maybe some things aren't what they seem?
00:36:44What does that even mean?
00:36:46Yeah, thanks, Josh. Everything looks great.
00:36:48Okay.
00:36:54Ace,
00:36:56Alina asked about your leg.
00:36:58What'd you say?
00:37:02What'd you say?
00:37:04Don't worry. I didn't say a word.
00:37:06I didn't say a word.
00:37:08But, honestly, man,
00:37:10I think she still cares about you.
00:37:12Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:37:14I appreciate your input, Josh,
00:37:16but I think I know what's best for Alina and I.
00:37:18You might wanna deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:37:20It's overdue for a replacement.
00:37:22If you keep stalling,
00:37:24you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:37:26You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:37:28I'm still on the job.
00:37:30I can't leave Alina alone.
00:37:32I think that would be very, uh, irresponsible of me,
00:37:34don't you think, Josh?
00:37:36Man, you're one hell of a romantic.
00:37:38You know that?
00:37:40Yeah, well, that makes one of us.
00:37:42Why don't you get the hell out of here, all right?
00:37:56Almighty God,
00:37:58in your mercy,
00:38:00turn the darkness of death
00:38:02into the dawn of new life
00:38:04and the sorrow of parting
00:38:06into the joy of heaven
00:38:08through our Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:38:10who died, rose again,
00:38:12and lives forevermore.
00:38:14Amen.
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.
00:38:36You know, Uncle Houston,
00:38:38I've always wondered.
00:38:40You've been far angrier about the health care reforms
00:38:42than my own father's murder.
00:38:44Could it be that you had something to do with his death?
00:38:48That is outrageous slander.
00:38:50How dare you accuse me
00:38:52of murdering my brother at his funeral?
00:39:00Sorry for your loss.
00:39:30It's enough.
00:39:38This was my father's favorite.
00:39:40I got it for him for his birthday,
00:39:42but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:39:54I'm sorry.
00:39:56I'm sorry.
00:39:58I'm sorry.
00:40:02Right here.
00:40:04Not going anywhere.
00:40:16No.
00:40:18Don't go.
00:40:24Can you promise
00:40:26you won't leave me again?
00:40:28I promise.
00:40:30I'll never leave you again.
00:40:32Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:40:36Someone that you can't forget.
00:40:38Is that someone me?
00:40:42Tell me, Ace.
00:40:50Yes.
00:40:52That someone is you.
00:40:54It always has been.
00:40:56If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:40:58Look, it's been a long day.
00:41:00I don't think
00:41:02we should talk about it.
00:41:04I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:41:06You did hurt me.
00:41:08Three years ago,
00:41:10I waited for you to come back
00:41:12and marry me, and then you left me
00:41:14for another woman.
00:41:16You broke my heart.
00:41:18And then you just walked back into my life
00:41:20like nothing happened.
00:41:22No!
00:41:52Oh, my God.
00:42:04Oh, my God.
00:42:06I drank too much.
00:42:08Can we sleep together?
00:42:10Hungry?
00:42:12Get you breakfast.
00:42:14Last night,
00:42:16we...
00:42:18You were drunk.
00:42:20Very drunk.
00:42:22I took care of you, and that was it.
00:42:24He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:42:26Jerk.
00:42:30Well, thank you
00:42:32so much for taking such great care of me,
00:42:34Mr. Bodyguard.
00:42:44You've been far angrier
00:42:46about the healthcare reforms than my own
00:42:48father'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
00:42:54with her father's death.
00:42:56She's hard to handle.
00:42:58The bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her.
00:43:00I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:43:02This I will not do.
00:43:04She's been lobbying aggressively
00:43:06within the company.
00:43:08Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:43:10If she keeps this up,
00:43:12I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:43:14What do you want me to do?
00:43:16The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:43:18Elena will undoubtedly use it
00:43:20to rally more support from the board.
00:43:22What you're going to do
00:43:24is invite her to go as your date,
00:43:26and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:43:28Tell her she'll get more support from the board
00:43:30if she's married with a husband.
00:43:32We can use the engagement to shift public focus
00:43:34away from reform.
00:43:36Kill two birds with one stone. I like that.
00:43:38Exactly. The media will be there,
00:43:40and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:43:42There's no way she risks tanking
00:43:44the company.
00:43:48Elena!
00:43:50I was hoping I would
00:43:52be able to escort you to the company dinner
00:43:54this weekend.
00:43:56I told you,
00:43:58Mr. Vegas would be chasing this person.
00:44:00He's been at it for ages. His persistence is kind of impressive.
00:44:10Chad, I...
00:44:12Elena, trust me.
00:44:14I can help you win over a couple more board members
00:44:16for the healthcare reform plan.
00:44:22Yeah.
00:44:24Yes, I'd love to go to dinner.
00:44:26Great. See you later.
00:44:42How do I look?
00:44:44You look beautiful.
00:44:46You know, I don't know if you have to dress so...
00:44:48formally.
00:44:50Are you jealous?
00:44:52I just don't think that
00:44:54that guy deserves
00:44:58all of this.
00:45:04Oh, speak of the devil.
00:45:06Beautiful.
00:45:08Elena, we should get going. We're going to be late.
00:45:10And, uh, Ace,
00:45:12remember your place,
00:45:14okay, there, sport?
00:45:16You're the bodyguard.
00:45:18So make sure you keep a professional
00:45:20distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:45:36Elena's healthcare reform plan
00:45:38might have some short-term losses,
00:45:40but I believe the long-term benefits
00:45:42far outweigh the
00:45:44small drawbacks.
00:45:46Forget about that for a moment.
00:45:48What we're really curious about
00:45:50is how far you two have gotten.
00:45:52Given the company's current
00:45:54PR crisis,
00:45:56announcing a wedding might
00:45:58actually help repair its image.
00:46:00Elena,
00:46:02what do you think?
00:46:04Elena,
00:46:06Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:46:08Oh, um,
00:46:10Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:46:12Chad and I are...
00:46:14Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:46:20Our company has faced
00:46:22challenges recently,
00:46:24but on this
00:46:26special night, our new
00:46:28CEO, Miss Elena Pearson,
00:46:30would like to say a few words.
00:46:34Before Miss Pearson
00:46:36says anything,
00:46:38I have a surprise for her.
00:46:42I have a surprise for her.
00:46:44Elena, I have loved you
00:46:46for so long.
00:47:00Will you marry me?
00:47:02Will you marry me?
00:47:04Marry him! Marry him!
00:47:06Marry him! Marry him!
00:47:08Marry him!
00:47:10Marry him!
00:47:12Marry him!
00:47:14Marry him!
00:47:16What are you doing?
00:47:18Come on, let's go. We're leaving.
00:47:32What the hell are you doing,
00:47:34storming out like that in front of all those guests?
00:47:36Do you realize how bad you're making the company's image look?
00:47:38Not really.
00:47:40So what, you're going to just marry that guy
00:47:42to save the company's image?
00:47:44That's ridiculous.
00:47:46Who I marry is none of your business.
00:47:48We're over, Ace.
00:47:50You're just my bodyguard.
00:47:52You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:47:54You don't mean that.
00:47:56You don't love that guy.
00:47:58You barely fucking know him.
00:48:00Who I love is none of your concern.
00:48:04Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins,
00:48:06when you've pushed me away over and over again.
00:48:08Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal,
00:48:10you would have nothing to do with it
00:48:12and you couldn't stop me.
00:48:24Elena! Elena, where are you?
00:48:30Elena, are you in there?
00:48:34Tell him you're busy.
00:48:36Make him leave.
00:48:40Tell him you're busy.
00:48:42Make him leave.
00:49:00I'll be out in a minute.
00:49:02Are you sure you're okay?
00:49:06Yeah, I'm fine.
00:49:08Just go.
00:49:30Ace,
00:49:32you're a bastard.
00:49:34Okay, all right, I'm sorry about that,
00:49:36but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:49:38Oh, and you do?
00:49:40You abandoned me.
00:49:42We were supposed to get married.
00:49:44You have no right to say that to me.
00:49:46What do you think's going on here?
00:49:48Do you think that I
00:49:50don't love you?
00:49:52I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much I...
00:49:54Elena! Who's in there with you?
00:49:56How much what? What are you saying?
00:50:00Elena!
00:50:02What do you think?
00:50:08What are you two doing in here?
00:50:10I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:50:12You told me it was just a date to the gala
00:50:14and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:50:16Proposing in front of everyone?
00:50:18What? Have you lost your mind?
00:50:20Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long
00:50:22and you've never rejected me.
00:50:24So that has to mean
00:50:26that you feel the same way.
00:50:28What?
00:50:30I haven't said anything.
00:50:32You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:50:34What's the difference?
00:50:36Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.
00:50:38Since you've never rejected me,
00:50:40it'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!
00:50:50Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:50:52Acting all on your high horse,
00:50:54but deep down you're just a slut
00:50:56sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:51:06Bravo!
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.
00:51:16What's the matter? Struck a nerve?
00:51:18Elena, you have the audacity
00:51:20to accuse me
00:51:22of 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.
00:51:36You see that girl right there?
00:51:38There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:51:40You're not going to disrespect her.
00:51:42You show face around here again, I'm going to fuck you to it.
00:51:44Do you understand?
00:51:54You...
00:51:56You left me?
00:52:00Did you mean what you said?
00:52:04Please just tell me the truth.
00:52:06That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:52:10No.
00:52:12Elena, I can't be with you.
00:52:14I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:52:16I'm not whole. I'll never be enough for you.
00:52:18That was just impulsive.
00:52:20I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
00:52:22You're lying.
00:52:24You still keep a photo of us
00:52:26in your wallet.
00:52:28You'd risk your life for me.
00:52:30You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:52:32That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
00:52:34That is something more, and you know it.
00:52:36Moments ago, right here,
00:52:38you said that you love me more than
00:52:40anyone else in the world.
00:52:44Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:52:48Elena, look at this.
00:52:52Look.
00:52:56I'm here to guard you.
00:52:58I'm your bodyguard.
00:53:00I shouldn't have crossed the line,
00:53:02and I'm sorry.
00:53:04Now, let's go.
00:53:06Stay away from me.
00:53:08Elena.
00:53:12I'm sorry, Elena.
00:53:14I can't hold you back. You deserve better
00:53:16than a broken man like myself.
00:53:22Can't handle one woman?
00:53:24Absolutely useless.
00:53:26That bitch has been screwing her bodyguard
00:53:28the whole damn time. What do you want me to do?
00:53:30That pathetic freaking loser.
00:53:34I'm gonna kill him.
00:53:36It's only a matter of time.
00:53:38If that's the case,
00:53:40there's only one option left.
00:53:42If we want Pearson Group,
00:53:44we're going to have to eliminate her.
00:53:46Just like we did her father.
00:53:52You think you can fix everything
00:53:54with these little tricks?
00:53:56Won't work, Ace.
00:53:58It's your favorite. French toast.
00:54:00Been up since 6,
00:54:02making sure everything was perfect.
00:54:04I know it's been a while,
00:54:06so I hope it tastes like
00:54:08how you remember it.
00:54:10Oliver? What are you...
00:54:12What are you doing here?
00:54:14This is a signed
00:54:16first edition.
00:54:18Mr. Adler.
00:54:20Mr. Adler.
00:54:22Mr. Adler.
00:54:24Mr. Adler.
00:54:26Mr. Adler.
00:54:28Mr. Adler.
00:54:30Mr. Adler.
00:54:32Mr. Adler.
00:54:34Mr. Adler.
00:54:36Mr. Adler.
00:54:38First edition.
00:54:40Mr. Atkins went through several
00:54:42of his connections to track that down
00:54:44for you.
00:54:46And while you were at your meetings,
00:54:48he took it upon himself
00:54:50to redecorate your entire office.
00:55:00Do you really think gestures like these
00:55:02are going to make me forgive you?
00:55:04I...
00:55:06I just want you to be happy.
00:55:08Elena,
00:55:10whether you forgive me or not
00:55:12doesn't really matter.
00:55:14You have every right to hate me and to push me away
00:55:16if that's what you want.
00:55:18But please,
00:55:20just don't let this anger
00:55:22eat away at you.
00:55:24It wasn't your fault. None of it was.
00:55:26It was mine.
00:55:30Don't think you've won me over.
00:55:32I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:55:36Don't think you've won me over.
00:55:38I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:55:40Go make me a coffee.
00:55:42I have a meeting soon.
00:55:48Ms. Pearson,
00:55:50if I may say,
00:55:52Mr. Atkins
00:55:54cares for you deeply.
00:55:56And from the way you look at him,
00:55:58it's clear you feel
00:56:00the same way.
00:56:02So why not just be together?
00:56:04Oliver, you don't understand.
00:56:06Every time I take a step forward,
00:56:08he takes two steps back.
00:56:10It's not that simple.
00:56:12Well, then maybe you should
00:56:14take the lead.
00:56:16Valentine's Day is right
00:56:18around the corner.
00:56:20Why not use the occasion to
00:56:22clear the air and finally
00:56:24talk it through?
00:56:26Maybe.
00:56:38Maybe you should
00:56:40take the lead.
00:56:42The first gift I ever gave Ace
00:56:44was a motorcycle, and he loved it.
00:56:46Ace, stay here.
00:56:48I have a surprise for you.
00:56:56Alright, and your order will be delivered tonight.
00:56:58Thank you so much.
00:57:00Thank you for shopping with us, Ms. Pearson.
00:57:26♪ ♪
00:57:56Josh.
00:57:58Josh! Elena's been taken.
00:58:00Activate the tracking system. Get the cops involved.
00:58:02I'm going after her.
00:58:16Who are you?
00:58:18Look, if this is about the company's healthcare reforms,
00:58:20then I promise you I'm proposing a new plan.
00:58:22It's set to pass on Monday,
00:58:24so please don't kill me.
00:58:26Shut your mouth.
00:58:28This isn't about healthcare.
00:58:30You got it all wrong.
00:58:32What?
00:58:38My uncle hired you?
00:58:40He paid you to kill my dad?
00:58:42Ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:58:44Took you long enough to figure out.
00:58:46Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:58:50Now sign the damn thing or I'll
00:58:52kill you in your head!
00:58:56Okay, I'll sign.
00:58:58But you have to let me go after.
00:59:00Good.
00:59:02Sign it, then you're free to go.
00:59:04He's lying.
00:59:06As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
00:59:08Think, Elena, think.
00:59:10Hurry up.
00:59:12Don't try anything stupid or
00:59:14break your legs before you can escape.
00:59:22No.
00:59:28No, I don't want to die.
00:59:30Please, Ace, save me.
00:59:34Now that this job is completed,
00:59:36I can never have to worry about money
00:59:38ever again.
00:59:42Good job.
00:59:52Ah!
01:00:00Drop your weapon or I'll blow her brains out.
01:00:04Ace, don't do it.
01:00:06Drop your weapon!
01:00:14Good job. Close your eyes and walk toward me.
01:00:16Good.
01:00:22Ah!
01:00:28Ah!
01:00:30Ah!
01:00:32Ah!
01:00:34Ah!
01:00:36Ah!
01:00:38No! No!
01:00:42Are you crazy?
01:00:44He had a gun pointed at your head
01:00:46and you still went after him.
01:00:48I thought I lost you.
01:00:50It's going to be okay.
01:00:54I knew exactly what he was doing
01:00:56when he asked me to close my eyes.
01:00:58It's over.
01:01:02Ah!
01:01:04Ah!
01:01:08Who sent you?
01:01:10Ah!
01:01:12Okay, just give me a minute.
01:01:14I don't want to die.
01:01:16You're going to get some help
01:01:18It's Houston.
01:01:20He paid me to kill Carter.
01:01:22The kid Emelina.
01:01:24There's proof.
01:01:26Where?
01:01:28My left jacket pocket.
01:01:30Just take it!
01:01:34You're that idiot Carter Pearson
01:01:36and the five million dollars is yours.
01:01:42Why would he murder his own brother?
01:01:44My father's been nothing but kind to him.
01:01:48Ah!
01:01:52The cops are on the way.
01:01:54Everything's fine.
01:01:56I don't understand.
01:01:58Houston was the company's second largest shareholder.
01:02:00What more could he possibly want?
01:02:02Why would he murder my father?
01:02:06And in front of me too.
01:02:08I'm going to have to live with that image
01:02:10scarred into the back of my mind
01:02:12for the rest of my life.
01:02:14Some people just want more
01:02:16and it's never enough.
01:02:18They're just greedy and they're monsters
01:02:20and you never have to think about them again, okay?
01:02:22It's over.
01:02:24It's over.
01:02:28I want to go home.
01:02:30Okay, let's go.
01:02:42Please pull over.
01:02:44What's wrong?
01:02:46Your arm, it's bleeding.
01:02:48Didn't you notice?
01:02:50No, I didn't notice. It must have happened during the fight.
01:02:52You're unbelievable.
01:02:54It's fine.
01:02:56Just pull over right up there.
01:02:58It's fine.
01:03:00No, I'll take care of it. We'll stop for a bit.
01:03:02Okay.
01:03:12Ace, why did you cheat on me
01:03:14all those years ago?
01:03:16What? Come on.
01:03:18Tell me the truth or I swear
01:03:20I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard
01:03:22you can't feel it.
01:03:24Okay.
01:03:30Hey, look, I screwed up
01:03:32but that's in the past.
01:03:34I just want to move forward, okay?
01:03:36Please be honest with me.
01:03:38Do you still love me?
01:03:40Come on, don't try and dodge the question.
01:03:42Today you could have called for backup
01:03:44but you didn't.
01:03:46You charged right in to save me.
01:03:48If 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.
01:04:00I believe you this time.
01:04:02Let's start fresh.
01:04:04I love you, Elena.
01:04:06I've always loved you.
01:04:16Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
01:04:18I talked to Dr. Dean and he said
01:04:20if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever
01:04:22lose sensation.
01:04:28Today we're here to
01:04:30talk about my healthcare reform strategy.
01:04:32You can't even
01:04:34handle your personal life.
01:04:36The news came out and this company's
01:04:38stock prices fell another five points.
01:04:40And yet you still think
01:04:42you can push through reforms.
01:04:44I'm the first to object.
01:04:46Elena, do you know how the other healthcare
01:04:48companies 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,
01:04:58if my scandals are causing such
01:05:00problems for the company,
01:05:02how do you plan to account
01:05:04for the damages that your actions have caused?
01:05:08Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:05:14Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:05:20Slander. Your father
01:05:22was killed by an angry citizen who was
01:05:24dissatisfied with the current healthcare system.
01:05:26What does that have to do with me?
01:05:32Kill that idiot Carter Pearson
01:05:34and the five million dollars is yours.
01:05:40I testify that Houston Pearson
01:05:42paid me to kill Carter Pearson
01:05:44and then he paid me to try to kill
01:05:46Elena Pearson.
01:05:50I hereby declare
01:05:52that Houston Pearson is
01:05:54immediately stripped of all his
01:05:56duties within this group.
01:05:58You murdered my father and tried
01:06:00to kill me. You need to pay for your crimes.
01:06:04You need to pay for your crimes.
01:06:06Who do you think you are?
01:06:08Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
01:06:10I gave everything
01:06:12to this company.
01:06:14Why should you, the daughter of that idiot
01:06:16Carter Pearson, inherit this company?
01:06:18What is wrong with increasing
01:06:20the claim denial rate?
01:06:22This company's profits doubled
01:06:24because I developed AI technology
01:06:26that increased our claim denial rate
01:06:28to 40 percent, the highest
01:06:30in the industry.
01:06:32And that old fool Carter,
01:06:34he dared to yell at me over this.
01:06:36He deserved to die.
01:06:38Every accomplishment you've made
01:06:40has been riding off the coattails
01:06:42of struggling people and my father's life.
01:06:44And you show no remorse for them.
01:06:46You're a monster.
01:06:50Don't move.
01:06:54Raise your hands.
01:06:58Houston Pearson, you're under arrest
01:07:00for first degree murder.
01:07:16Now does anyone else have anything to say?
01:07:18Great.
01:07:20All those in favor of implementing
01:07:22my health care reform strategy,
01:07:24raise your hand.
01:07:46Very well, it seems the majority has voted yes.
01:08:04I declare that the health care reform plan with the slogan, deliver, declare, and disclose
01:08:11has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.
01:08:34Congratulations on the huge success of the health care reform.
01:08:38Great, I got it.
01:08:42Congrats.
01:08:43You too.
01:08:44It looks like you guys are officially back together.
01:08:46Should I be planning a reunion party?
01:08:48That's enough.
01:08:49That's enough.
01:08:50Oh, Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.
01:08:56Thank you so much, guys.
01:09:00If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my health care reform plan would have passed.
01:09:06Especially you, Ace.
01:09:07I don't know what I would have done without you.
01:09:08Well, I'll always be your rock.
01:09:09Cheers.
01:09:10Heck yeah.
01:09:11Hey.
01:09:12Hey.
01:09:13Hey.
01:09:14Hey.
01:09:15Hey.
01:09:16Hey.
01:09:17Hey.
01:09:18Hey.
01:09:19Hey.
01:09:20Hey.
01:09:21Hey.
01:09:22Hey.
01:09:23Hey.
01:09:24Hey.
01:09:25Hey.
01:09:26Hey.
01:09:27Hey.
01:09:28Hey.
01:09:29Hey.
01:09:30Hey.
01:09:31Hey.
01:09:32Hey.
01:09:33Hey.
01:09:34Hey.
01:09:36Were you looking for me?
01:09:38Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal.
01:09:41He's trying to make everyone join him.
01:09:44I just keep Mom in high hanok.
01:09:47I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.
01:09:51I guess I have to reserve all my energy for you.
01:09:56Mr. Adkins, your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.
01:10:04What's next on your agenda?
01:10:06I've got a few ideas.
01:10:34What's wrong?
01:10:41What's wrong?
01:10:44Nothing, just, uh...
01:10:49I don't know if we're in the right place or if it's the right time.
01:10:55What?
01:10:57After everything we've been through Ace, I thought we were past this.
01:11:00I know, but I, uh...
01:11:03But what?
01:11:07I just, uh, I don't think we should rush into this.
01:11:10I think we should think this through, okay?
01:11:13You're a jerk.
01:11:22God, what an asshole. Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:11:33Ace! Ace!
01:11:56It's okay.
01:11:57It's okay, he's dead. It's over.
01:12:08Oh my god, Miss Pearson! I'm going to call an ambulance!
01:12:20Is he going to be okay, Doctor?
01:12:29Don't.
01:12:32Don't tell Leanne about it.
01:12:36My prosthetic leg.
01:12:39Alright, I respect your wishes.
01:12:45Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:12:49His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:12:54Thank you, Doctor.
01:12:56By 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, has been involved in 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.
01:13:34You can rest assured that with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.
01:13:39You're safe.
01:13:41Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:13:49You can rest.
01:13:51I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:13:56Ace?
01:14:08Carolina, the bodyguard mission is complete and 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.
01:14:18Ace.
01:14:20How? You're leaving me again?
01:14:24I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:14:38It's her.
01:14:52The 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?
01:15:09This involves Ace's privacy and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:15:14But Alina, I assure you Ace did not betray you.
01:15:18Then 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.
01:15:29But I think that deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:15:34He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:15:43Alina, 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?
01:15:52Does 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?
01:16:03Oh 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.
01:16:40He's getting his new prosthetic leg fixed right now. Go find him, Alina.
01:16:44Ace, you jerk. How could you keep something so important from me?
01:16:48This time, I won't let you go. I 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.
01:16:59With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:17:02This one is newly made for you. Try it.
01:17:05Thanks.
01:17:29This is the secret you've been keeping from me?
01:17:43This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:17:46What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.
01:17:52This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:17:56Alina, you shouldn't be seeing me like this. I need you to leave right now.
01:18:01Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:18:04Do 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, Alina?
01:18:13I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:18:19Huh? I 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? I mean, just fucking look at me.
01:18:27Alina, I can't even stand up straight.
01:18:29But I love you.
01:18:32Ace, can't you see?
01:18:35No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you. Always.
01:18:45Alina, come on. Why?
01:18:47Just stop pushing me away.
01:18:51Edgars, you listen to me right now.
01:18:56You have left me so many times.
01:19:00You can't keep running from me.
01:19:02I am here to stay.
01:19:05Got it?
01:19:07I love you so much. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
01:19:22Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:19:24Come on, don't try and be tough.
01:19:26No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:19:30So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
01:19:34I'm disabled, and I might become a burden to you when we're older.
01:19:40Have you thought about that?
01:19:43If you ever say something so pessimistic again,
01:19:47If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.
01:19:53I love Ace Atkins. The person, not the leg.
01:19:58So what if you're missing a leg? I will love you all the same.
01:20:02Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:20:07No. No. Of course not.
01:20:10I'll always be by your side.
01:20:13Let me do the same.
01:20:16I am choosing you, okay?
01:20:21Got it.
01:20:35Miss Pearson,
01:20:38your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life.
01:20:44Miss Pearson, your health care 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 health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:20:55I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success,
01:21:00partly due to great planning, but also because of my fiancé, Ace Atkins.
01:21:07His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
