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

00:46:03Marry him!
00:46:05Chad, stand up.

01:00:41The cops are on the way
01:00:43Everything's fine
01:00:44Because I don't understand
01:00:46Houston was the company's second largest shareholder. What more could he possibly want?
01:00:52Why would he murder my father?
01:00:56And in front of me too
01:00:57I'm gonna have to live with that image
01:00:59Scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life
01:01:03Some people just want more

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