Transcript
00:00:00Yes!
00:00:09Your deployment's tomorrow. I'm still worried.
00:00:19Don't worry. I'm gonna be back. I'm gonna be safe and sound.
00:00:23The first thing we're gonna do is get married.
00:00:25I'll be waiting.
00:00:30Oh, my God.
00:00:45I miss you so much.
00:00:50Oh, my God. It's so good to see you.
00:00:52So good to see you.
00:00:54I miss you a lot.
00:00:56Can't wait to go home together.
00:00:58What are you having for dinner?
00:01:00I'm so sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace?
00:01:02He was supposed to come out with you.
00:01:04Ace? He's been back for a month.
00:01:06He didn't tell you.
00:01:08What?
00:01:10Call him up. You'll see.
00:01:14Let's go.
00:01:17Ace came back a month ago.
00:01:20But he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:01:27Ace, open up. I know you're in there.
00:01:30Ace! Ace!
00:01:32Ace, what are you doing?
00:01:52Who is that woman?
00:01:54Ace, open the door!
00:01:59Who the hell are you and what do you want with Ace?
00:02:03I need to see him.
00:02:10Ace!
00:02:11Explain!
00:02:13Look, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:02:15I...
00:02:16It's over.
00:02:18I got myself a new girl.
00:02:20It's time for you to move on.
00:02:22What do you mean it's over?
00:02:24I waited for you for three years.
00:02:26You said we were going to get married when you came back
00:02:28and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:02:30I was just fooling around that whole time.
00:02:32I didn't mean any of it.
00:02:34Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally.
00:02:37She's the one, alright?
00:02:38It's not you.
00:02:39I don't believe you.
00:02:41You know, I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face.
00:02:44You owe me that at least.
00:02:46That's the problem with you, isn't it?
00:02:48You're always demanding this, demanding that.
00:02:50If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy.
00:02:51You'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.
00:03:04And I never should have fallen for you.
00:03:06I hate you, Ace Atkins!
00:03:14Did 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.
00:03:37Just gotta let her go.
00:03:40Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:04:05I want you to end things with Elena.
00:04:07The engagement is off.
00:04:09Take this money as your compensation.
00:04:13Mr. 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.
00:04:23That's all I'm asking for.
00:04:24What can you possibly do for Elena?
00:04:26When you can't even stand on your own.
00:04:28All you'll do is break her heart.
00:04:30I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:04:34If you really love her, leave her alone.
00:04:36Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:04:37I really appreciate it.
00:04:38Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:04:39Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:04:40I really appreciate it.
00:04:41We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes.
00:04:42I'll go get the equipment.
00:04:43Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:04:44Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:04:45I really appreciate it.
00:04:46We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes.
00:04:47I'll go get the equipment.
00:04:48I love you, Elena.
00:04:49I love you, Elena.
00:04:50Forget about me.
00:04:51I love you, Elena.
00:04:52I love you, Elena.
00:04:53I love you, Elena.
00:04:54Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:05:04I really appreciate it.
00:05:07We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes.
00:05:09I'll go get the equipment.
00:05:14I love you, Elena.
00:05:16Forget about me.
00:05:18You'll find happiness again.
00:05:24Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare,
00:05:29was fatally shot by a gunman on Fifth Avenue.
00:05:32Police suspect the attack may be related to the wave of insurance policy changes
00:05:36that Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement.
00:05:38For now, the gunman remains at large,
00:05:41while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, is set to take over as CEO.
00:05:54Clean that up.
00:06:04Good morning, gentlemen.
00:06:05I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:06:08I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:06:11The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage
00:06:18and to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
00:06:22My plan...
00:06:25What the hell with your shit plan?
00:06:28You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:06:31I 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, I will never, ever change my mind.
00:06:45Really?
00:06:46You think you can control the entire group?
00:06:50I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:06:52I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:07:03I don't feel a big deal.
00:07:05What the hell?
00:07:09I don't feel a big deal.
00:07:18I don't feel like I'm not the only one against thisammen or otherladı Uganda.
00:07:19Looks like y'all need some more training still.
00:07:39Got a long way to go.
00:07:43Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform, or will she be next
00:07:47on the assassin's list?
00:07:49Hey, Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:53Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:07:55You could totally assign someone else to handle Elena's case.
00:07:59So you heard the news too, huh?
00:08:00You think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh?
00:08:05I'll handle it.
00:08:05Elena, today, you're going to follow my plan to 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.
00:08:35Have you lost your mind?
00:08:40Forcing 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 going to let him do this?
00:08:48Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those little lice.
00:08:51Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:09:00Let's get a rest.
00:09:01Come on.
00:09:01Get your hands off of her.
00:09:18No way.
00:09:19That voice.
00:09:20It can't be him.
00:09:24It can't be him.
00:09:25Yeah.
00:09:31Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:09:40I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:09:42It's been three years.
00:09:44I've missed you, Elena.
00:09:46Elena what?
00:09:47Jesus, Elena.
00:09:48Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:09:51Stupid or something?
00:09:55You insult my boss again.
00:09:56You're going to be the one that needs some fucking healthcare.
00:09:58Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:10:07Leave or you're fired.
00:10:08I don't give a shit.
00:10:09You're my uncle.
00:10:10There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena.
00:10:13And that's to get rid of them.
00:10:15Just like I got rid of your father.
00:10:21What are you doing here?
00:10:23No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:10:26Oh, Miss Pearson, Mr. Atkins.
00:10:32I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:10:34Miss, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.
00:10:41Now, as for the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:10:51No.
00:10:53I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:55I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:59Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.
00:11:02Anyone but him.
00:11:03Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:11:07With him around, your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:11:12Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute?
00:11:14I need to talk to him.
00:11:15Yes, ma'am.
00:11:16Ace, what are you doing here?
00:11:22I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:11:24Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now and, well, I was worried about you.
00:11:30We broke up three years ago.
00:11:32You cheated on me.
00:11:33You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:11:36The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:11:41The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:11:45Now, go.
00:11:45I 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?
00:11:57Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:12:00Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:12:02You're delusional.
00:12:03Elena.
00:12:08The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.
00:12:14Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:12:19Let go.
00:12:24Take me home.
00:12:29Elena!
00:12:33Asshole, you broke my heart.
00:12:36Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:12:44That's odd.
00:12:45I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:12:55Someone broke in.
00:12:56The killer?
00:13:00Ah!
00:13:01Yes!
00:13:03Why so surprised, princess?
00:13:22Didn't you know you were going to be next?
00:13:27No.
00:13:27I don't want to die, please.
00:13:29Someone help me.
00:13:30I don't want to die, please.
00:13:33No!
00:13:52No!
00:13:52Thanks, oh God.
00:14:13I thought I was going to die.
00:14:16I'm not going to die.
00:14:17You're safe.
00:14:18You're hurt.
00:14:19Are you all right?
00:14:20You saved me.
00:14:23Mace.
00:14:26You're bleeding.
00:14:31He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even hotter than he used to be.
00:14:36He's still got that same glow.
00:14:38God, I missed her.
00:14:41Do you remember the last time we, uh, were you better?
00:14:52He's hard.
00:15:00Yes, ma'am.
00:15:01That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:15:09I should wrap that up.
00:15:12You tried to stab me in the leg, and he missed.
00:15:15It's fine.
00:15:16I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:15:22Is there something wrong?
00:15:24It's fine.
00:15:25Good.
00:15:26Good.
00:15:38Oh my, am I interrupting?
00:16:04No, no. Ace cut himself and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:16:14Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up. Great.
00:16:19Wait, 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.
00:16:38Oliver, 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. If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:17:00Fine. Oliver, you win.
00:17:04Brilliant. Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:17:12I would take a bullet for her.
00:17:18You're the first door on the left. You can stay there.
00:17:34Helena, please. Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:17:38We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:17:42Now, 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. You are going to do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm going to live my life.
00:17:52Nothing else. Is that clear?
00:17:56Crystal. I'm going to unpack myself.
00:18:12Is this his wallet?
00:18:14You said you never left me, so why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?
00:18:30I checked the house. It's all clear. Safe to sleep.
00:18:40Great. Thanks. I'm going to go to bed now.
00:19:10Shit.
00:19:18Sorry. I thought you were in danger.
00:19:22Just hand me that towel.
00:19:24It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:19:48Be professional. I'm still your boss, remember?
00:19:52Yes, ma'am.
00:19:56Yes, ma'am.
00:19:58You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:00And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:02You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:04And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:08You'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.
00:20:42Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:20:44Hey.
00:20:50Hey, what's up?
00:20:52Hey.
00:20:54Just have something for the scars.
00:20:58I can put it on.
00:20:59I can put it on.
00:21:00Okay.
00:21:10I'm surprised that you still, uh, show this much care for me still.
00:21:16Get out for yourself.
00:21:18I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:21:22Why not calm yourself?
00:21:24He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:21:28Okay.
00:21:30Hey, 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.
00:21:48I'm just sitting.
00:21:50That's how I sit.
00:21:52I call BS.
00:21:53Let me see it.
00:22:00What if I'm, um, hiding something under there?
00:22:10Maybe I'm hiding an owner to see it.
00:22:23You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:22:24You're my bodyguard.
00:22:26You should keep things professional.
00:22:30Good night for you.
00:22:34Good night.
00:22:38You're right, Elena.
00:22:40I'm just your bodyguard.
00:22:51Elena.
00:22:52I want you to put this on.
00:22:54It's lightweight.
00:22:55You won't even feel it.
00:22:56I'm not wearing that.
00:22:58You can either do it yourself, or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:23:02And I can do it.
00:23:03And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:23:05Okay, I can do it myself.
00:23:14May I?
00:23:16Got it.
00:23:17Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:23:37Does I?
00:23:38No.
00:23:39No.
00:23:40Okay.
00:23:41Uh, I have to go.
00:23:42I'm late for work.
00:23:44Yes, ma'am.
00:23:47I'm assuming that assassination didn't go as planned?
00:23:50That idiot calls himself a hitman.
00:23:51He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:23:52Chad?
00:23:53I'm leaving this to you.
00:23:54Seduce Elena.
00:23:55Get her under your thumb.
00:23:56And Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:23:57Consider it done.
00:23:58Jesus, Chad.
00:23:59How many times have I told you to knock?
00:24:00What do you want?
00:24:01You owe me dinner, remember?
00:24:02I remember.
00:24:03But I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral.
00:24:05So can you take a brain check?
00:24:06Okay.
00:24:07Okay.
00:24:08Okay.
00:24:09Okay.
00:24:10Okay.
00:24:11Okay.
00:24:12Okay.
00:24:13Okay.
00:24:14Okay.
00:24:15Okay.
00:24:16Okay.
00:24:17Okay.
00:24:18Okay.
00:24:19Okay.
00:24:20Okay.
00:24:21Okay.
00:24:22Okay.
00:24:23Okay.
00:24:24Okay.
00:24:25Okay.
00:24:26I have a funeral, so can we take a brain check?
00:24:28Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:24:30You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:24:33This is how people get burned down.
00:24:34You need to take some time off to relax.
00:24:45Yeah.
00:24:46You know what?
00:24:47Let's do dinner.
00:24:53Great.
00:24:56Sir, this is a table for two.
00:25:12Why don't you go sit over there?
00:25:26I'm Ms. Pearson's bodyguard, I gotta keep a tight perimeter around her at all times but thanks
00:25:40for checking in.
00:25:41Well, don't let me interrupt, if you guys haven't ordered yet, go ahead.
00:25:5582 Lafite, your favorite.
00:26:02I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:26:05Here, have a taste.
00:26:10Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:26:13I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:26:16Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for
00:26:22you to be drinking on the job now.
00:26:25My apologies, Elena, I know how tough it's been for you, and I want you to know that
00:26:37I'm here for you, always, and that my heart belongs to you.
00:26:44I'm sorry, Chad, I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:26:52Can we eat?
00:26:54I'm starving.
00:26:55Yeah.
00:26:56Sam.
00:26:57The mangoes.
00:26:58God.
00:26:59Oh, hey, Sam, sorry about that.
00:27:04She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:27:06You mind bringing out another plate without them?
00:27:09He still remembers?
00:27:10I'll see what I can do about that.
00:27:16Wait, didn't you two just meet?
00:27:19How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:21How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:25Well, we actually go way back, and I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her
00:27:31preference on mangoes.
00:27:32He's my bodyguard.
00:27:33Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know.
00:27:36I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:27:42Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:28:06What was that tonight?
00:28:12If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:28:16Maybe you're just seeing things the way you want to see them.
00:28:19You ever think about that?
00:28:22How could I forget?
00:28:24Right, you shattered my heart.
00:28:26Come on, Chad.
00:28:28Save it.
00:28:29Just go home.
00:28:31I have funeral preparations to make anyway.
00:28:33I'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.
00:28:48Elena!
00:28:50Elena?
00:28:51Dad!
00:28:52You're back!
00:28:53Dad!
00:28:54What's going on?
00:28:55Ace.
00:28:56It's fine.
00:28:57I'm here with you, okay?
00:28:58You're safe.
00:28:59I had a dream about my dad.
00:29:00One second he was smiling at me, and then...
00:29:02You're back!
00:29:03You're back!
00:29:04You're back!
00:29:05You're back!
00:29:06You're back!
00:29:07You're back!
00:29:08You're back!
00:29:09You're back!
00:29:10You're back!
00:29:11You're back!
00:29:12It's fine.
00:29:13I'm here with you, okay?
00:29:14You're safe.
00:29:15I had a dream about my dad.
00:29:18One second he was smiling at me, and then the next...
00:29:23I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:29:33Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:29:47You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:29:50And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:29:54Besides, I'm gonna be right here the whole time supporting you.
00:29:57Protecting you.
00:29:59Protecting me?
00:30:02Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:30:07I love you.
00:30:09A relationship that is in the past.
00:30:12But I would protect you with my life.
00:30:16I'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.
00:30:32Stay with me.
00:30:57Stay with me.
00:30:58I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:31:04You're my bodyguard.
00:31:07And I'm scared.
00:31:09Stay with me.
00:31:12Stay with me.
00:31:13So I can feel safe.
00:31:14Stay with me.
00:31:15So I can feel safe.
00:31:19Stay with me.
00:31:20Stay with me.
00:31:21If only I could stay by your side like this forever.

00:37:08my deepest condolences
00:37:14may your father rest in peace
00:37:16your father knew that your reckless reforms would be tearing his company apart
00:37:20you would never rest in peace
00:37:22he was your brother
00:37:24if you had even a shred of affection for him
00:37:27you would never say something like that at his funeral
00:37:30you know uncle houston I've always wondered
00:37:32you've been far angrier about the healthcare reforms than my own father's murder
00:37:37could it be that you had something to do with his death
00:37:40that is outrageous slander
00:37:44how dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral
00:37:47sorry for your loss
00:37:57sorry for your loss
00:37:58let's do it
00:38:05i me
00:38:07sorry for your loss
00:38:13i won't call you
00:38:14sorry for your loss
00:38:17i can only be a cell Jose
00:38:19maybe i feel like i just came in for you
00:38:21That's enough.
00:38:37This was my father's favorite.
00:38:40I got it for him for his birthday, but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:38:51I'm right here, not going anywhere.
00:39:05G'day.
00:39:11Don't go.
00:39:16Can you promise you won't leave me again?
00:39:21I promise.
00:39:23I'll never leave you again.
00:39:25Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:39:29Someone that you can't forget. Is that someone me?
00:39:35Tell me, Ace.
00:39:44Yes.
00:39:46That someone is you.
00:39:48And it always has been.
00:39:49If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:39:52Look, it's been a long day. I don't think we should talk about it. I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:39:59But you did hurt me.
00:40:02Three years ago, I waited for you to come back and marry me. And then you left me for another woman.
00:40:09You broke my heart.
00:40:10You broke my heart.
00:40:11And then you just walked back in my life like nothing happened.
00:40:15No.
00:40:16No.
00:40:17I didn't think you wereandoers.
00:40:18I forgot I wasった.
00:40:20I was worried about after doings.
00:40:21If you guys did later you were telling me, that you had no body thinking.
00:40:27What?
00:40:29It was 이거, I think.
00:40:31It was about a while.
00:40:33There you go.
00:40:36I know what the fuck's client crucified mean.
00:40:39Oh, my God, I drank too much.
00:41:00Can we sleep together?
00:41:04All right.
00:41:06Get your breakfast.
00:41:06Last night, we...
00:41:12You were drunk.
00:41:13Very drunk.
00:41:14I took care of you.
00:41:16That was it.
00:41:17He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:41:20Jerk.
00:41:23Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:41:36You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:41:43Haven't you dealt with that bitch, Elena, yet?
00:41:45She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:41:48She's hard to handle.
00:41:50A bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her.
00:41:53I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:41:55This will not do.
00:41:58She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:42:00Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:42:03If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:42:07What do you want me to do?
00:42:10The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:42:12Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board, which you're going to do.
00:42:17Is invite her to go as your date, and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:42:21Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:42:24We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from her form.
00:42:28Kill two birds with one stone.
00:42:29I like that.
00:42:30Exactly.
00:42:31The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:42:34There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:42:42Elena.
00:42:42I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:42:50I told you, Mr. Vegas would be chasing this person.
00:42:53He's been out for ages.
00:42:54His persistence is kind of impressive.
00:43:05Chad, I...
00:43:06Elena, trust me.
00:43:08I can help you win over a couple more board members for the health care reform plan.
00:43:12Yeah.
00:43:17Yes, I would love to go to dinner.
00:43:19Great.
00:43:20See you later.
00:43:20Mm-hmm.
00:43:40How do I look?
00:43:42You look beautiful.
00:43:44You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:43:48What, are you jealous?
00:43:51I just don't think that that guy deserves all of this.
00:43:58Oh, speak of the double.
00:44:05Beautiful.
00:44:07Elena, we should get going.
00:44:08We're going to be late.
00:44:09And, uh, Ace, remember your place.
00:44:13Okay, there's sport?
00:44:14You're the bodyguard.
00:44:15We're going to be here.
00:44:16So make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:44:21Elena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses, but I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:44:45Forget about that for a moment.
00:44:47What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:44:52Given the company's current PR crisis, announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:44:58Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:45:01Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:45:06Chad and I are...
00:45:06Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:45:13Our company has faced challenges recently.
00:45:17But, on this special night, our new CEO, Ms. Elena Pearson, would like to say a few words.
00:45:25Before Ms. Pearson says anything, I have a surprise for her.
00:45:36I have a surprise for her.
00:45:38Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:45:40Will you marry me?
00:45:56Marry him!
00:45:57Marry him!
00:45:59Marry him!
00:46:00Marry him!
00:46:01Marry him!
00:46:03Marry him!
00:46:04Marry him!
00:46:06Marry him!
00:46:07Chad, stand up.
00:46:08What are you doing?
00:46:09I don't know.
00:46:11Come on, let's go.
00:46:12We're leaving.
00:46:31What the hell are you doing?
00:46:33Storming out like that in front of all those guests.
00:46:35You've realized how bad you're making the company's image look.
00:46:37Oh, really?
00:46:38So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:46:41That's ridiculous.
00:46:42Who I marry is none of your business.
00:46:45We're over, Ace.
00:46:46You're just my bodyguard.
00:46:47You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:46:49You don't mean that.
00:46:51You don't love that guy.
00:46:53You barely fucking know him.
00:46:54Who I love is none of your concern.
00:46:58Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins, when you push me away over and over again.
00:47:03Even if I had said yes to Chad's proposal, you would have nothing to do with it.
00:47:07You couldn't stop me.
00:47:18Elena!
00:47:18Elena, why are you?
00:47:23Elena, are you in there?
00:47:28Tell him you're busy.
00:47:29Make him leave.
00:47:33Tell him you're busy.
00:47:34Make him leave.
00:47:35I'll be out in a minute.
00:48:01Are you sure you're okay?
00:48:02Okay.
00:48:02Yeah, I'm fine.
00:48:06Just...
00:48:07Just go.
00:48:25Ace, you're a bastard.
00:48:27Look, I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:48:30Oh, and you do?
00:48:32You abandoned me.
00:48:34We were supposed to get married.
00:48:36You have no right to say that to me.
00:48:39What do you think's going on here?
00:48:41Do you think that I don't love you?
00:48:44I mean, do you have any fucking idea...
00:48:45Elena!
00:48:47Who's in there with you?
00:48:48How much what?
00:48:49What are you saying?
00:48:53How much what?
00:48:54What are you saying?
00:48:55Elena!
00:48:56What do you think?
00:48:58What are you two doing in here?
00:49:05I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:49:07You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:49:11Proposing in front of everyone?
00:49:13What?
00:49:14Have you lost your mind?
00:49:15Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long, and you've never rejected me.
00:49:19So that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:49:23What?
00:49:24I haven't said anything.
00:49:25You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:49:27What's the difference?
00:49:28Hmm?
00:49:29Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.
00:49:32Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.
00:49:35It's only natural for us to be together.
00:49:37Hey, don't step closer.
00:49:39And who the hell are you?
00:49:41You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:49:43Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:49:47Acting all on your high horse, but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:49:59Bravo!
00:50:01Bravo!
00:50:01You two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
00:50:03Hey, this must be nice, huh?
00:50:05Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:50:08Shut the fuck up.
00:50:08Is the matter, struck a nerve?
00:50:09Elena, you have the audacity to accuse me of damaging the company?
00:50:17Take a look in the mirror.
00:50:19You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:50:21You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.
00:50:24Boom!
00:50:25Oh!
00:50:25Oh!
00:50:26Get down!
00:50:27Get down!
00:50:28Get down!
00:50:28You see that girl right there?
00:50:30There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:50:32You're not going to disrespect her.
00:50:34You show face around here again, I'm going to fuck you to her.
00:50:36You understand?
00:50:37Do you understand?
00:50:37You left me?
00:50:53Did you mean what you said?
00:50:57At least just tell me the truth.
00:50:59That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:51:01No.
00:51:05Elena, I can't be with you.
00:51:07I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:51:09I'm not whole.
00:51:10I'll never be enough for you.
00:51:11That was just impulsive.
00:51:13I shouldn't have said that.
00:51:14I'm sorry.
00:51:16You're lying.
00:51:17You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:51:21You'd risk your life for me.
00:51:22You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:51:24That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
00:51:27That is something more, and you know it.
00:51:30Moments ago, right here, you said that you love me more than anyone else in the world.
00:51:34It's...
00:51:35Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:51:41Elena, look.
00:51:46Look.
00:51:47I'm here to guard you.
00:51:50I'm your bodyguard.
00:51:53I shouldn't have crossed the line.
00:51:55I'm sorry.
00:51:57Now, let's go.
00:52:00Stay away from me.
00:52:02Elena.
00:52:04I'm sorry, Elena.
00:52:06I can't hold you back.
00:52:08You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:52:16Can't handle one woman?
00:52:18Absolutely useless.
00:52:19God, that bitch has been screwing your bodyguard the whole damn time.
00:52:22What do you want me to do?
00:52:23God, that pathetic freaking loser.
00:52:27I'm going to kill him.
00:52:30It's only a matter of time.
00:52:31If that's the case, there's only one option left.
00:52:36We want Pearson Group.
00:52:37We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:52:40Just like we did her father.
00:52:41You think you can fix everything that these little tricks won't work, Ace?
00:52:58It's your favorite.
00:53:01French toast.
00:53:02Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:53:06I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.
00:53:11Oliver, what are you doing here?
00:53:27Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that down for you, and while you were at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:53:45Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
00:53:57I just want you to be happy.
00:54:02Elena, whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:54:05You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
00:54:10But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
00:54:16It wasn't your fault.
00:54:18None of it was.
00:54:20It was mine.
00:54:22Don't think you've won me over.
00:54:24I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:28Don't think you've won me over.
00:54:29I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:32Go make me a coffee.
00:54:34I have a meeting soon.
00:54:41Miss Pearson, if I may say, Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
00:54:48And from the way you look at him, it's clear you feel the same way.
00:54:54So why not just be together?
00:54:57Oliver, you don't understand.
00:54:58Every time I take a step forward, he takes two steps back.
00:55:02It's not that simple.
00:55:04Well, then maybe you should take the lead.
00:55:09Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:55:12Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?
00:55:21Maybe.
00:55:22Maybe you should take the lead.
00:55:37The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle, and he loved it.
00:55:42Ace, stay here.
00:55:43I have a surprise for you.
00:55:49All right.
00:55:50And your order will be delivered tonight.
00:55:51Thank you so much.
00:55:52Thank you for shopping with us, Miss Pearson.
00:55:54And your order will be delivered tonight.
00:55:54Thank you for having me, Miss Pearson.
00:55:55Thank you for having me, Miss Pearson.

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