00:01:00I'm going to be back.
00:01:01I'm going to be safe and sound.
00:01:02The first thing we're going to do is get married.
00:01:04I'll be waiting.
00:01:05I'm going to be back.
00:01:35I can't wait to go home together.
00:01:37Yeah, we're going to go to dinner.
00:01:39I'm so sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace?
00:01:42He was supposed to come out with you.
00:01:43Ace?
00:01:44He's been back for a month.
00:01:46He didn't tell you.
00:01:48What?
00:01:48Call him up.
00:01:51You'll see.
00:01:53Let's go.
00:01:57Ace came back a month ago, but he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:02:06Ace, open up.
00:02:08I know you're in there.
00:02:10Ace!
00:02:11Ace!
00:02:29Ace, what are you doing?
00:02:31Who is that woman?
00:02:37Ace, open the door!
00:02:40Who the hell are you and what do you want with Ace?
00:02:42I need to see him.
00:02:49Ace!
00:02:50Ace!
00:02:51Explain!
00:02:52Look, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:02:54I...
00:02:54It's over.
00:02:58I got myself a new girl.
00:02:59It's time for you to move on.
00:03:01What do you mean it's over?
00:03:03I waited for you for three years.
00:03:05You said we were going to get married when you came back,
00:03:08and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:03:10I was just fooling around that whole time.
00:03:12I didn't mean any of it.
00:03:14Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally.
00:03:17She's the one, all right?
00:03:18It's not you.
00:03:19I don't believe you.
00:03:21No, I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face.
00:03:24You owe me that at least.
00:03:25That's the problem with you, isn't it?
00:03:27You're always demanding this, demanding that.
00:03:29If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy.
00:03:31You're a spoiled, rich heiress,
00:03:33and no guy wants a woman like that.
00:03:35Can't you understand that?
00:03:37Just fuck off.
00:03:38My dad was right about you.
00:03:43And I never should have fallen for you.
00:03:45I hate you, Ace Atkins.
00:03:58Did you really have to be so cruel?
00:04:00I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth.
00:04:02She's not going to leave you.
00:04:08That's what I'm afraid of.
00:04:14I love her.
00:04:17She's got to let her go.
00:04:22Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:04:24I want you to end things with Elena.
00:04:47The engagement is off.
00:04:48Take this money as your compensation.
00:04:50Mr. Pearson, I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you.
00:04:58Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money.
00:05:01All I need is a chance to talk to Elena.
00:05:02That's all I'm asking.
00:05:03What can you possibly do for Elena?
00:05:05When you can't even stand on your own,
00:05:07all you'll do is break her heart.
00:05:10I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:05:13If you really love her, leave her alone.
00:05:15Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:05:43I really appreciate it.
00:05:44We'll start physical therapy in 10 minutes.
00:05:49I'll go get the equipment.
00:05:53I love you, Elena.
00:05:56Forget about me.
00:05:58You'll find happiness again.
00:05:59Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare,
00:06:08was fatally shot by a gunman on Fifth Avenue.
00:06:12Police suspect the attack may be related to the wave of insurance policy changes
00:06:15that Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement.
00:06:18For now, the gunman remains at large,
00:06:20while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter,
00:06:22is set to take over as CEO.
00:06:24Clean that up.
00:06:36Clean that up.
00:06:43Good morning, gentlemen.
00:06:44I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:06:48I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:06:52The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage
00:06:58and to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
00:07:00What the hell with your shit plan?
00:07:08You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:07:10I reject it.
00:07:12Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies have led to my father's death.
00:07:16My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:07:18No matter what you say,
00:07:21I will never, ever change my mind.
00:07:24Really?
00:07:26You think you can control the entire group?
00:07:29I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:07:31I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:07:31I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:07:33I don't even know.
00:07:33I don't know.
00:07:34Oh, my God.
00:08:04Oh, my God.
00:08:14Looks like you all need some more training still.
00:08:19Got a long way to go.
00:08:22Will the health care heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform, or will she be next on the assassin's list?
00:08:29Hey, Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:08:31Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:08:35You could totally assign someone else to handle Elena's case.
00:08:38So you heard the news, too, huh?
00:08:40I think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh.
00:08:44I'll handle it.
00:08:45Elena, today, you're going to follow my plan to increase health care prices.
00:09:00We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.
00:09:03Simple as that.
00:09:04Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:09:07Have you lost your mind?
00:09:19Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:09:21No one here will testify against me.
00:09:23Just sign the damn paper.
00:09:26Are you all going to let him do this?
00:09:28Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those lowlifes.
00:09:31Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:09:33Let's go, Russ.
00:09:41Come on.
00:09:50Get your hands off of her.
00:09:58No way.
00:09:59That voice.
00:10:00It can't be him.
00:10:01It can't be him.
00:10:03It can't be him.
00:10:05Yeah!
00:10:14Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:10:19I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:10:21It's been three years.
00:10:23I've missed you, Elena.
00:10:25You're in what?
00:10:26Jesus, Elena.
00:10:28Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:10:30You stupid or something?
00:10:31You insult my boss again.
00:10:36You're going to be the one that needs some fucking health care.
00:10:39Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:10:46Look, leave.
00:10:47Or you're fired.
00:10:48I don't give a shit.
00:10:49You're my uncle.
00:10:50There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena.
00:10:53And that's to get rid of them.
00:10:54Just like I got rid of your father.
00:11:00What are you doing here?
00:11:03No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:11:06Oh, Miss Pearson, Mr. Atkins.
00:11:11I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:11:14Miss, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.
00:11:20Now, as for the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:11:29Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute and I need to talk to him?
00:11:54Yes, ma'am.
00:11:56Ace, what are you doing here?
00:12:01I was just making sure that you're safe.
00:12:03Health care CEOs are on alert right now and, uh, well, I was worried about you.
00:12:10We broke up three years ago.
00:12:12You cheated on me.
00:12:13You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:12:15The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:12:20The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:12:24Now, go.
00:12:25I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:12:31Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:12:36Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:12:39Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:12:42You're delusional.
00:12:44Oh, wait a minute.
00:12:44The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.
00:12:54Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:12:59Let go.
00:13:00Take me home.
00:13:09Later.
00:13:14Asshole.
00:13:14You broke my heart.
00:13:16Now you come back into my life like it's nothing.
00:13:18That's odd.
00:13:25I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:13:34Someone broke in.
00:13:36The killer?
00:13:36Why so surprised, princess?
00:14:01Didn't you know you were going to be next?
00:14:06No.
00:14:07I don't want to die, please.
00:14:09Someone help me.
00:14:09I don't want to die.
00:14:39I don't want to die.
00:14:49I'm so good.
00:14:53I thought I was going to die.
00:14:56I'm not going to die.
00:14:56You're safe.
00:14:58You're hurt.
00:15:09I don't want to die.
00:15:10I don't want to die.
00:15:11I don't want to die.
00:15:12I don't want to die.
00:15:13I don't want to die.
00:15:14I don't want to die.
00:15:15I don't want to die.
00:15:16I don't want to die.
00:15:17I don't want to die.
00:15:18I don't want to die.
00:15:19I don't want to die.
00:15:20I don't want to die.
00:15:21I don't want to die.
00:15:22I don't want to die.
00:15:23I don't want to die.
00:15:24I don't want to die.
00:15:25I don't want to die.
00:15:26I don't want to die.
00:15:27I don't want to die.
00:15:28I don't want to die.
00:15:29I don't want to die.
00:15:30I don't want to die.
00:15:31I don't want to die.
00:15:32I don't want to die.
00:15:33You're all right?
00:15:49You saved me.
00:15:52Mace.
00:15:56You're bleeding.
00:15:57He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even harder than he used to be.
00:16:05He's still got that same glow.
00:16:07God, I miss her.
00:16:11Do you remember the last time we, uh, in the bathroom?
00:16:27He's harder.
00:16:29Yes, ma'am.
00:16:36That guy got you in the leg, too.
00:16:39That up.
00:16:41You tried to stab me in the leg and he missed.
00:16:45It's fine.
00:16:46I saw...
00:16:47Mace, oh, God.
00:17:00I thought I was gonna die.
00:17:02You're not gonna die.
00:17:03You're safe.
00:17:04You're hurt.
00:17:05You're all right?
00:17:06You saved me.
00:17:09Mace.
00:17:13You're bleeding.
00:17:17He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even harder than he used to be.
00:17:22He's still got that same glow.
00:17:24God, I miss her.
00:17:27Do you remember the last time we, uh, in the bathroom?
00:17:44He's harder.
00:17:45Yes, ma'am.
00:17:53That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:17:55I should wrap that up.
00:17:58He tried to stab me in the leg and he missed.
00:18:02It's fine.
00:18:03I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:18:09Mace, is there something wrong?
00:18:10It's fine.
00:18:12Okay.
00:18:12Okay.
00:18:15Okay.
00:18:27Okay.
00:18:27Oh my
00:18:46Am I interrupting?
00:18:51No, no, Ace cut himself and
00:18:57I was just helping him dress the wound
00:19:02Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up
00:19:05Great
00:19:06Wait, he's not staying with me
00:19:09Yes, Miss Pearson, of course
00:19:12That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does
00:19:16The contract clearly states that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7 to ensure your safety
00:19:25Oliver, it's not just about the contract
00:19:27I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard
00:19:33You must understand
00:19:35You might very well be the next target
00:19:39If you fail to understand this
00:19:42Then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation
00:19:46I'll be fine
00:19:48Oliver, you win
00:19:50Brilliant
00:19:52Mr. Atkins
00:19:54From here on out
00:19:56Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands
00:19:59I would take a bullet for her
00:20:05You're the first door on the left
00:20:20You can stay there
00:20:22I'll lay in a kiss
00:20:23Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room
00:20:25We broke up three years ago and that's that
00:20:29Now if you're gonna be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries
00:20:33So here's how it's gonna go
00:20:35You are gonna do your job as my bodyguard and I'm gonna live my life
00:20:39Nothing else
00:20:41Is that clear?
00:20:43Crystal
00:20:45I can unpack my stuff
00:20:47I can unpack my stuff
00:21:01Is this his wallet?
00:21:03You said you never loved me, so why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?
00:21:24I checked the house, it's all clear
00:21:26Safe to sleep
00:21:28Great, thanks
00:21:29I'm gonna go to bed now
00:21:33I'm gonna go to bed now
00:21:34I'm gonna go
00:21:35Shh
00:21:39Oh, my God.
00:21:57Shit.
00:22:06Sorry.
00:22:08I thought you were in danger.
00:22:10Just hand me that towel.
00:22:27It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:22:29Be professional. I'm still your boss, remember?
00:22:43Yes, ma'am.
00:22:59You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:23:08And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:23:12Yes, I have some scar cream for you.
00:23:29Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:23:36Hey, what's up?
00:23:38Hey.
00:23:41Just have something for the scars.
00:23:45I can put it on.
00:23:57I'm surprised that you still, uh,
00:24:01show this much care for me still.
00:24:03Get out for yourself.
00:24:07I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:24:10Elena, calm yourself.
00:24:12He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:24:15Okay.
00:24:19Hold on.
00:24:21Okay.
00:24:22Hey, what is with you and this blanket?
00:24:31I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:24:34My leg is fine.
00:24:36I'm just sitting.
00:24:38That's how I sit.
00:24:40I call BS. Let me see it.
00:24:41Let me see it.
00:24:53What if I'm, um, hiding something under there?
00:24:57Maybe I'm hiding the owner to see it.
00:25:00You're not my boyfriend anymore. You're my bodyguard.
00:25:14You should keep things professional.
00:25:18Good night.
00:25:21Good night.
00:25:22I'm not your bodyguard.
00:25:25You're right, Elena.
00:25:27I'm just your bodyguard.
00:25:28You're right, Elena.
00:25:30I'm just your bodyguard.
00:25:34Elena?
00:25:36I want you to put this on.
00:25:37It's lightweight.
00:25:39You won't even feel it.
00:25:41I'm not wearing that.
00:25:42You won't even feel it.
00:25:43I'm not wearing that.
00:25:45You can either do it yourself, or you can strip your clothes off for you.
00:25:49And I can do it.
00:25:50And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:25:52Look, I can do it myself.
00:26:01Yeah?
00:26:03I've got it.
00:26:12Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:26:25Too excited.
00:26:29Okay, I have to go.
00:26:31I'm late for work.
00:26:33Yes, ma'am.
00:26:38I'm assuming the assassination didn't go as planned?
00:26:41An idiot calls himself a hitman.
00:26:43He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:26:47Chad, I'm leaving this to you.
00:26:50Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb,
00:26:52and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:26:54Consider it done.
00:27:02Jesus, Chad, how many times have I told you to knock?
00:27:05Why didn't you run?
00:27:07You owe me dinner, remember?
00:27:09I remember.
00:27:11But I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral,
00:27:14so can we take a brain check?
00:27:15Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:27:19You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:27:21This is how people get burned down.
00:27:22You need to take some time off to relax.
00:27:24Yeah.
00:27:25You know what?
00:27:35Let's do dinner.
00:27:39Great.
00:27:41Sir, this is a table for two.
00:27:59Why don't you go sit over there?
00:28:00I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:28:09I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times, but thanks for checking in.
00:28:14Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:28:34You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:28:36Go ahead.
00:28:4082 Lafite.
00:28:41Your favorite.
00:28:42I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:28:52Here, have a taste.
00:28:53Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:28:59I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:29:02Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Alana's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for
00:29:08you to be drinking on the job now.
00:29:12My apologies.
00:29:15Alana.
00:29:19I know how tough it's been for you, and I want you to know that I'm here for you.
00:29:24Always.
00:29:26And that my heart belongs to you.
00:29:33Sorry, Chad.
00:29:34I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:29:39Can we eat?
00:29:40I'm starving.
00:29:42Yeah.
00:29:43Sam.
00:29:45The mango salad.
00:29:50Oh, hey, Sam.
00:29:51Sorry about that.
00:29:52She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:29:54You mind bringing out another plate without him?
00:29:56He still remembers?
00:29:58I'll see what I can do about that.
00:30:04Wait, didn't you two just meet?
00:30:06How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:30:10How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:30:12Well, we actually go way back.
00:30:15And I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference of mangoes.
00:30:19He's my bodyguard.
00:30:20Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know.
00:30:23I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:30:25Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:30:32Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:30:35What was that tonight?
00:30:36If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:30:50Maybe you're just seeing things the way you want to see them.
00:30:51You ever think about that?
00:30:52How could I forget?
00:30:53Right, you shattered my heart.
00:30:56I could-
00:30:58Come on, just-
00:30:59I'd just-
00:31:00Save it!
00:31:01Just go home.
00:31:02I have funeral preparations to make anyway.
00:31:03I'm sorry, Elena.
00:31:04I don't mind.
00:31:05I don't mind.
00:31:06What was that tonight?
00:31:07If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:31:09Maybe you're just seeing things the way you want to see them.
00:31:11You ever think about that?
00:31:12How could I forget?
00:31:13Right, you shattered my heart.
00:31:14Come on, just-
00:31:15Save it!
00:31:16I'll just go home.
00:31:17I've funeral preparations to make anyway.
00:31:20I'm sorry, Elena.
00:31:25I'm sorry, Elena. I was just trying to give you a better life. I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:31:36Elena!
00:31:38Elena?
00:31:39Dad! You're back!
00:31:42Dad!
00:31:55What's going on?
00:31:57Ace.
00:31:59It's fine. I'm here, okay? You're safe.
00:32:03I had a dream about my dad. One second he was smiling at me and then the next...
00:32:12I just doubt myself sometimes. Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:32:34You're the strongest woman I've ever known. And I think that you can do anything that you save your heart on.
00:32:41Besides, I'm gonna be right here the whole time supporting you. Protecting you.
00:32:48Protecting me?
00:32:51Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:32:55I love you. A relationship that is in the past.
00:33:02But I would protect you with my life. I'd die for you.
00:33:07I need you to understand that.
00:33:09You will die for me, but you won't love me.
00:33:12You will die for me, but you won't love me.
00:33:22Do you love me?
00:33:44Stay with me.
00:33:48I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:33:52You're my bodyguard.
00:33:54And I'm scared.
00:33:58Stay with me.
00:34:00So I can feel safe.
00:34:02If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:34:08If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:34:22What are we doing here?
00:34:28I'm gonna teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:34:32You know, just in case.
00:34:34Always gotta be prepared.
00:34:36What I mean is, in case I die first and you're still in danger, you can fight your way out.
00:34:46First case scenario.
00:34:48What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:35:00Um...
00:35:02No.
00:35:04All the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:35:08Try putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.
00:35:12Dug one there.
00:35:16And out there.
00:35:18Push as hard as you can.
00:35:20All right.
00:35:22All right.
00:35:24Nice.
00:35:26All right.
00:35:28Second scenario.
00:35:30What if somebody...
00:35:32Had you like this?
00:35:34What if somebody...
00:35:36Had you like this?
00:35:42What if somebody...
00:35:44Had you like this?
00:35:48It's just self-defense training.
00:35:50Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:35:52What's your move?
00:35:56Um...
00:35:58I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:36:00Like...
00:36:02Stomping on the...
00:36:06Very nice.
00:36:07You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:36:10Okay.
00:36:11Third scenario.
00:36:12You ready?
00:36:14All right.
00:36:17What?
00:36:22Someone's got you like this.
00:36:24Starts choking you.
00:36:27Um...
00:36:28You gotta be quick.
00:36:30This...
00:36:33Use your hips.
00:36:35What?
00:36:36Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:36:38As hard as you can.
00:36:43Ace, are you okay?
00:36:45Did I hurt your leg?
00:36:46No.
00:36:47What was that sound?
00:36:52It didn't hurt my leg.
00:36:54It's fine.
00:36:55That was a good job.
00:36:56No.
00:36:57You're hurt.
00:36:58Let me just...
00:36:59Fine.
00:37:00That was good work, though.
00:37:01Seriously.
00:37:02Ace.
00:37:03New security equipment justified.
00:37:04Can you come check it out?
00:37:05Yeah, sure.
00:37:06Thanks, Josh.
00:37:08Good job today.
00:37:10Seriously.
00:37:11That sound was weird.
00:37:12Ace is hiding something from me.
00:37:25Hi.
00:37:26Hi.
00:37:27Alina, right?
00:37:28I'm Josh.
00:37:29I used to serve with Ace in the military, but now we're colleagues.
00:37:34He talks about you a lot.
00:37:35Hi, Josh.
00:37:36Hi, Josh.
00:37:39I'm sorry.
00:37:40Can I ask...
00:37:41Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:37:47Huh?
00:37:48Leg?
00:37:49No.
00:37:50Not that I know of.
00:37:51You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:37:54Everyone here knows that there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:37:58And that person is you, Alina.
00:38:03You're mistaken.
00:38:04He...
00:38:05He doesn't love me.
00:38:06At all.
00:38:07If you knew him, then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:38:11You know, I might be just an outsider, but I know Ace.
00:38:16Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:38:19Alright.
00:38:20I gotta go check up on Ace and the new equipment.
00:38:22It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:38:24Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:38:28What does that even mean?
00:38:31Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:38:32Everything looks great.
00:38:33Okay.
00:38:38Ace...
00:38:39Alina asked about your leg.
00:38:43What'd you say?
00:38:47What'd you say?
00:38:48Don't worry.
00:38:49I'd say it were.
00:38:51But...
00:38:52Honestly, man...
00:38:54I think she still cares about you.
00:38:55Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:38:57I appreciate your input, Josh.
00:38:58But I think I know what's best for Alina.
00:39:00And I...
00:39:01Might wanna deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:39:04It's overdue for a replacement.
00:39:05If you keep stalling, you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:39:09You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:39:12I'm still on the job.
00:39:13I can't leave Alina alone.
00:39:14I think that would be very, uh, irresponsible of me.
00:39:17Don't you think, Josh?
00:39:19Man...
00:39:20You're in hell romantic.
00:39:21You know that?
00:39:22Yeah, well, that makes one of us.
00:39:23Why don't you get the hell out of here, all right?
00:39:25Oh, Lord.
00:39:26Thank you, man.
00:39:27Okay...
00:39:32Almighty God, in your mercy turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new light and the
00:39:45sorrow of parting, and to the joy of Heaven, through our Savior Jesus Christ who died, rose
00:39:53rose again, and lives forevermore.
00:39:57Amen.
00:40:02My deepest condolences.
00:40:05May your father rest in peace.
00:40:07Your father knew that your reckless reform
00:40:09would be tearing his company apart.
00:40:11He would never rest in peace.
00:40:13He was your brother.
00:40:14If you had even a shred of affection for him,
00:40:17you would never say something like that at his funeral.
00:40:20You know, Uncle Houston, I've always wondered.
00:40:22You've been far angrier about the health care reforms
00:40:25than my own father's murder.
00:40:27Could it be that you had something to do with his death?
00:40:31That is outrageous slander.
00:40:34How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral?
00:40:46Sorry for your loss.
00:40:52Education.
00:40:55Absolutely.
00:40:59That's enough.
00:41:26This was my father's favorite.
00:41:28I got it for him for his birthday, but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:41:43Right here. Not going anywhere.
00:41:54Good day.
00:41:56No.
00:42:00Don't go.
00:42:06Can you promise you won't leave me again?
00:42:10Promise. I'll never leave you again.
00:42:13Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:42:19Someone that you can't forget. Is that someone me?
00:42:21Tell me, Ace.
00:42:33Yes.
00:42:35That someone is you.
00:42:37It always has been.
00:42:38If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:42:41Look, it's been a long day. I don't think we should talk about it.
00:42:46I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:42:48You did hurt me.
00:42:51Three years ago, I waited for you to come back and marry me.
00:42:55And then you left me for another woman.
00:42:58You broke my heart.
00:42:59And then you just walked back in my life like nothing happened.
00:43:04No.
00:43:05No.
00:43:07No.
00:43:09No.
00:43:10No.
00:43:14No.
00:43:16No.
00:43:18No.
00:43:20No.
00:43:21Oh, my God, I drank too much.
00:43:49Didn't we sleep together?
00:43:53Hungry?
00:43:55Made you breakfast.
00:43:57Last night, we...
00:44:01You were drunk. Very drunk.
00:44:04Took care of you.
00:44:05That was it.
00:44:06He's not gonna mention the kiss?
00:44:09Jerk.
00:44:12Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me,
00:44:17Mr. Bodyguard.
00:44:19You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:44:32Haven't you dealt with that bitch, Elena, yet?
00:44:35She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:44:38She's hard to handle.
00:44:40A bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her.
00:44:42I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:44:44This will not do.
00:44:47She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:44:50Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:44:52If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:44:56What do you want me to do?
00:44:59The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:45:02Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board.
00:45:05What you're going to do is invite her to go as your date,
00:45:08and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:45:10Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:45:13We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from her...
00:45:17Something to do with her father's death.
00:45:19She's hard to handle.
00:45:20A bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her.
00:45:24I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:45:26This will not do.
00:45:28She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:45:31Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:45:34If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:45:38What do you want me to do?
00:45:40The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:45:43Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board,
00:45:46which you're going to do.
00:45:47Is invite her to go as your date,
00:45:49and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:45:51Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:45:54We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from her form.
00:45:59Kill two birds with one stone. I like that.
00:46:01Exactly.
00:46:02The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:46:05There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:46:13Elena.
00:46:13Elena.
00:46:13I was hoping that I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:46:21I told you, Mr. Vegas would be chasing this person.
00:46:24He's bad for ages.
00:46:25His persistence is kind of impressive.
00:46:26Chad, I...
00:46:36Elena, trust me.
00:46:38I can help you win over a couple more board members for the health care reform plan.
00:46:46Yeah.
00:46:47Yes, I would love to go to dinner.
00:46:50Great.
00:46:51See you later.
00:46:51How do I look?
00:47:13You look beautiful.
00:47:15You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:47:19What, are you jealous?
00:47:20I just don't think that that guy deserves all of this.
00:47:32Oh, speak of the double.
00:47:36Beautiful.
00:47:37Elena, we should get going.
00:47:38We're going to be late.
00:47:39And, uh, Ace, remember your place, okay there, sport?
00:47:45You're the bodyguard.
00:47:47So make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:47:51Elena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses, but I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:48:15Forget about that for a moment.
00:48:17What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:48:23Given the company's current PR crisis, announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:48:29Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:48:33Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:48:37Chad and I are...
00:48:37I prefer your blessing and will seriously consider it.
00:48:43Our company has faced challenges recently, but on this special night, our new CEO, Ms. Elena Pearson, would like to say a few words.
00:48:56Before Ms. Pearson says anything, I have a surprise for her.
00:49:07I have a surprise for her.
00:49:09Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:49:11Will you marry me?
00:49:27Marry him!
00:49:28Marry him!
00:49:29Marry him!
00:49:31Marry him!
00:49:32Marry him!
00:49:34Marry him!
00:49:35Marry him!
00:49:36Marry him!
00:49:38Chad, stand up.
00:49:39What are you doing?
00:49:40Come on, let's go.
00:49:43We're leaving.
00:50:02What the hell are you doing?
00:50:04Storming out like that in front of all those guests.
00:50:06You've realized how bad you're making the company's image look.
00:50:08Oh, really? So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image? That's ridiculous.
00:50:13Who I marry is none of your business.
00:50:16We're over, Ace. You're just my bodyguard. You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:50:20You don't mean that.
00:50:22You don't love that guy. You barely fucking know him.
00:50:25Who I love is none of your concern.
00:50:27Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins, when you push me away over and over again.
00:50:34Even if I had said yes to Chad's proposal, you would have nothing to do with it and you couldn't stop me.
00:50:38Alena! Alena, where are you?
00:50:51Alena, are you in there?
00:50:54Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:51:03Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:51:24I'll be out in a minute.
00:51:54Ah, McValue at McDonald's. In this case, ah says it all.
00:52:08After all, getting great deals on your favorite drinks from McDonald's means twice the ah.
00:52:12Because there's the ah after you take that first sip.
00:52:15And the ah when you realize just how much you're saving.
00:52:19Now that's refreshing.
00:52:20Buy one drink like premium lemonade, frappes, smoothies, or other frozen favorites.
00:52:26And add one for just a dollar.
00:52:28Price and participation may vary. Valid for product of equal or lesser value.
00:52:33Are you sure you're okay?
00:52:38Yeah, I'm fine. Just, just go.
00:52:50He's, you're a bastard.
00:52:59Look, Harry, I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:53:02Oh, and you do?
00:53:04You abandoned me. We were supposed to get married.
00:53:09You have no right to say that to me.
00:53:11What do you think's going on here?
00:53:13Do you think that I don't love you?
00:53:16I mean, do you have any fucking idea?
00:53:17Alayna!
00:53:19Who's in there with you?
00:53:20How much what? What are you saying?
00:53:25How much, how much what? What are you saying?
00:53:28Alayna!
00:53:29What do you think?
00:53:35What are you two doing in here?
00:53:37I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:53:39You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:53:43You're proposing in front of everyone? What, have you lost your mind?
00:53:47Alayna, I have been pursuing you for so long, and you've never rejected me.
00:53:51So, that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:53:55What? I haven't said anything. You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:54:00What's the difference? Hmm?
00:54:02Everybody already thinks that you're my fiance now.
00:54:04Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me. It's only natural for us to be together.
00:54:09Hey, don't step closer.
00:54:11And who the hell are you?
00:54:13You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:54:16Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:54:19Acting all on your high horse, but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:54:23Oh, bravo. Bravo, you two are the perfect pair of adulterous.
00:54:35Hey, this must be nice, huh? Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:54:40Shut the fuck up.
00:54:40What's the matter? Struck a nerve? Alayna, you have the audacity to accuse me of damaging the company?
00:54:49Take a look in the mirror. You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:54:53You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.
00:55:01See that girl right there? There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:55:04You're not going to disrespect her. You show face around here again,
00:55:07I'm going to fuck you too. Do you understand? Do you understand?
00:55:21You, you left me?
00:55:26Did you mean what you said?
00:55:29At least just tell me the truth. That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:55:33No, Alayna, I can't be with you. I'm just a man with a prosthetic. I'm not whole. I'll never be enough for you.
00:55:44That's just impulsive. I shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry.
00:55:48You're lying. You still keep a photo of us in your wallet. You'd risk your life for me. You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:55:56That is not just a bodyguard doing his job. That is something more and you know it.
00:56:02Moments ago, right here, you said that you love me more than anyone else in the world.
00:56:06It's...
00:56:10Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:56:12Alayna, look.
00:56:18Look, I'm here to guard you. I'm your bodyguard. I shouldn't have crossed the line. I'm sorry.
00:56:29Now, let's go.
00:56:30Alayna, I'm sorry, Alayna. I can't hold you back. You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:56:48Can't handle one woman? Absolutely useless.
00:56:51Ah, that bitch has been screwing your bodyguard the whole damn time. What do you want me to do?
00:56:55Ah, that pathetic freaking loser.
00:56:59I'm gonna kill him. It's only a matter of time.
00:57:04If that's the case, there's only one option left.
00:57:08We want Pearson Group. We're going to have to eliminate her. Just like we did her father.
00:57:21You think you can fix everything with these little tricks?
00:57:30Won't work, Ace. It's your favorite.
00:57:33French toast. Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:57:38I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.
00:57:51Oliver, what are you? What are you doing here?
00:58:00This is a signed first edition. Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that
00:58:08down for you. And while you're at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:58:21Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
00:58:32I just want you to be happy, Elena. Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:58:38You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
00:58:43But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you. It wasn't your fault. None of it was.
00:58:51It was mine. Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:59:00Don't think you've won me over. I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:59:02Go make me a coffee. I have a meeting soon.
00:59:13Ms. Pearson, if I may say, Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply. And from the way you look at him,
00:59:23it's clear you feel the same way. So why not just be together?
00:59:29Oliver, you don't understand. Every time I take a step forward, he takes two steps back.
00:59:34It's not that simple. Well, then maybe you should take the lead. Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:59:44Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?
00:59:50I don't know. Maybe you should take the lead.
01:00:09The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle and he loved it.
01:00:13Ace, stay here. I have a surprise for you.
01:00:21All right. And your order will be delivered tonight.
01:00:24Thank you so much. Thank you for shopping with us, Ms. Pearson.
01:00:37Look at this.
01:00:38Hey.
01:00:39I'm sorry.
01:00:39No, no, no, no, no.
01:00:41You're not really.
01:00:42No, no, no, no, no.
01:00:43But here's the package.
01:00:44I'll take it.
01:00:45I'll take it.
01:00:45No, no, no.
01:00:45Let's get back.
01:00:47I'll take it.
01:00:48I'll take it.
01:00:48Oh my god.
01:00:49You're better.
01:00:49So I'm in a place.
01:00:51Do you wanna leave now?
01:00:51Do you wanna leave now?
01:00:52No, you're gonna.
01:00:53I'll take it.
01:00:55I'm not too much.
01:00:56I'll take it.
01:00:57I'll take it.
01:00:57I'll take it.
01:00:59I'll take it.
01:01:02Well, I'll take it.
01:01:03Josh, Josh, Elenna's been taken.
01:01:25Activate the tracking system, get the cops involved.
01:01:28I'll go on after her.
01:01:33Who are you?
01:01:42Look at this, it's about the company's healthcare reforms that I promised you.
01:01:46I'm proposing a new plan.
01:01:48It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
01:01:50Shut your mouth.
01:01:53This isn't about healthcare.
01:01:54You got it all wrong.
01:01:55What?
01:02:03My uncle hired you?
01:02:05He paid you to kill my dad?
01:02:07Ding, ding, ding, ding.
01:02:08Took you long enough to figure out.
01:02:10Daddy's little girl is so clever.
01:02:15Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head!
01:02:17Okay, I'll sign.
01:02:22But you have to let me go after.
01:02:25Good.
01:02:26Sign it.
01:02:27Then you're free to go.
01:02:29He's lying.
01:02:31As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
01:02:33Think, Elenna, think.
01:02:34Hurry up.
01:02:36Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
01:02:41Okay?
01:02:43Shit.
01:02:44Shit.
01:02:44Shit.
01:02:44Shit.
01:02:45Shit.
01:02:45Shit.
01:02:47Shit.
01:02:53No.
01:02:53I don't want to die.
01:02:55Please, Ace, save me.
01:02:59Now that this job is completed, I can never have to worry about money ever again.
01:03:06Good job.
01:03:10Hey.
01:03:10Drop your weapon or I'll bowl her brains out.
01:03:27Ace, don't do it.
01:03:30Drop your weapon!
01:03:32Good job.
01:03:39Close your eyes and walk toward me.
01:03:42Go ahead.
01:03:42No.
01:03:43No.
01:03:43No.
01:03:44No.
01:03:45No.
01:03:46No.
01:03:47No.
01:03:48No.
01:03:49No.
01:03:50Are you crazy?
01:03:51He had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after it.
01:03:55I thought I lost you.
01:03:56It's going to be okay.
01:03:57I knew exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.
01:04:02It's over.
01:04:03No.
01:04:04No.
01:04:05No.
01:04:06No.
01:04:07No.
01:04:08No.
01:04:09No.
01:04:10No.
01:04:11No.
01:04:12No.
01:04:13No.
01:04:14No.
01:04:15No.
01:04:16No.
01:04:17No.
01:04:18No.
01:04:19No.
01:04:20No.
01:04:21No.
01:04:22No.
01:04:23No.
01:04:24No.
01:04:25No.
01:04:26No.
01:04:27No.

01:04:33No.
01:04:34No.
01:04:35No.
01:04:36No.
01:04:37You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers.
01:04:40So talk!
01:04:41No.
01:04:43It's Houston.
01:04:44He paid me to kill Carter.
01:04:47I can't believe that.
01:04:49There's proof.
01:04:50Where?
01:04:51My left jacket pocket.
01:04:52Just take it!
01:04:58Kill that idiot Carter Pearson
01:05:00and the five million dollars is yours.
01:05:06Why would he murder his own brother?
01:05:08My father's been nothing but kind to him.
01:05:16Cups are on the way.
01:05:18Everything's fine.
01:05:20I don't understand.
01:05:22Houston was the company's second largest shareholder.
01:05:24What more could he possibly want?
01:05:26Why would he murder my father?
01:05:30And in front of me too.
01:05:32I'm gonna have to live with that image
01:05:34scarred into the back of my mind
01:05:36for the rest of my life.
01:05:38Some people just want more.
01:05:40And it's never enough.
01:05:42They're just greedy and they're monsters
01:05:44and you never have to think about them again, okay?
01:05:46It's over.
01:05:48I wanna go.
01:05:52Hey, let's go.
01:05:54Please pull over.
01:06:08What's wrong?
01:06:10Your arm, it's bleeding.
01:06:12Did you notice?
01:06:13No, I didn't notice.
01:06:14It must have happened during the fight.
01:06:16You're unbelievable.
01:06:18It's fine.
01:06:20Just pull over right up there.
01:06:22It's fine.
01:06:23No, I'll take care of it.
01:06:24We'll stop for a bit.
01:06:26Please, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
01:06:40Why not? Come on.
01:06:42Tell me the truth or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel it.
01:06:46Hey, look, I screwed up.
01:06:56But that's in the past.
01:06:58I just wanna move forward, okay?
01:07:00Please be honest with me.
01:07:02Do you still love me?
01:07:04Come on, don't try and dodge the question.
01:07:06Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't.
01:07:09You charged right in to save me.
01:07:11If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
01:07:16I love you.
01:07:17Always had.
01:07:18Never stopped.
01:07:19Not even for a second.
01:07:20I believe you this time.
01:07:21Let's start fresh.
01:07:22I love you, Elena.
01:07:23I've always loved you.
01:07:24Come here.
01:07:25Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
01:07:27I talked to Dr. Dean and he said if you don't get treated soon, you're left with a
01:07:30good job.
01:07:31I'm sorry.
01:07:32I'm sorry.
01:07:33I'm sorry.
01:07:34I'm sorry.
01:07:35I'm sorry.
01:07:36I'm sorry.
01:07:37I'm sorry.
01:07:38I'm sorry.
01:07:39I'm sorry.
01:07:40I'm sorry.
01:07:41I'm sorry.
01:07:42I'm sorry.
01:07:43I'm sorry.
01:07:44I'm sorry.
01:07:45If you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.
01:07:54Today we're here to talk about my healthcare reform strategy.
01:07:57You can't even handle your personal life.
01:08:00The news came out and this company's stock prices fell another five points.
01:08:05And yet you still think you can push through reforms.
01:08:08I'm the first to object.
01:08:10Elena, do you know how the other healthcare companies are mocking us?
01:08:14They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.
01:08:19Uncle Houston, if my scandals are causing such problems for the company, how do you plan
01:08:26to account for the damages that your actions have caused?
01:08:31Like hiring someone.

01:09:00Visit ForThePeople.com for an office near you.
01:09:03To kill my father.
01:09:05Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:09:11That's slander.
01:09:16Your father was killed by an angry citizen who is dissatisfied with the current healthcare system.
01:09:21What does that have to do with me?
01:09:27Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson, and the $5 million is yours.
01:09:35I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson, and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
01:09:42I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.
01:09:55You murdered my father and tried to kill me.
01:09:58You need to pay for your crimes.
01:10:00You need to pay for your crimes.
01:10:02Who do you think you are?
01:10:03Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
01:10:06I gave everything to this company.
01:10:09Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson, inherit this company?
01:10:14What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?
01:10:17This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology that increased our claim denial rate to 40%.
01:10:24The highest in the industry.
01:10:26And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this.
01:10:30He deserved to die!
01:10:32Every accomplishment you've made has been riding off to the coattails of struggling people and my father's life.
01:10:39And you show no remorse for them!
01:10:41You're a monster!
01:10:43Don't move!
01:10:46Raise your hands!
01:10:51Houston Pearson, your honor and arrest for first degree murder.
01:10:56Don't move!
01:10:57You don't love it!
01:10:58You don't love it!
01:10:59You don't love it.
01:11:00Alright, have a look at this story.

01:19:08but Alina, I assure you Ace did not betray you
01:19:12then why?
01:19:15why did he lie to me, make me hate him and break up with me?
01:19:19I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself
01:19:22but I think that deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything
01:19:28he's just too afraid to tell you
01:19:31you
01:19:33Alina, what are you doing here?
01:19:40Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital and he just left me a note
01:19:43do you know where he is?
01:19:44what?
01:19:47does he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:19:54what do you mean prosthetic leg?
01:19:58oh man
01:19:58I wasn't supposed to say that
01:20:01Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
01:20:06three years ago
01:20:07Ace's leg was blown off during combat
01:20:09your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you
01:20:14so he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you
01:20:18later, after you got his prosthetic leg
01:20:21he still felt like a disabled person
01:20:23he thought a great girl like you deserved it better
01:20:26so he avoided you at critical moments
01:20:29go check out the rehabilitation center
01:20:35he's getting his new prosthetic leg fit right now
01:20:37go find him
01:20:38Ace, you jerk
01:20:40how could you keep something so important from me?
01:20:43this time I won't let you go
01:20:45I won't let you walk away again
01:20:47fortunately you came in time
01:20:51the old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves
01:20:53with treatment, you should recover naturally
01:20:56this one is newly made for you
01:20:59try it
01:20:59thanks
01:21:00you
01:21:05you
01:21:09you
01:21:11you
01:21:13you
01:21:13This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:21:38This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:21:41What are you doing here?
01:21:42You shouldn't be here.
01:21:43You need to leave.
01:21:47This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:21:51Elena, you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
01:21:55I need you to leave right now.
01:21:56Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:21:59Do you really think that little of me?
01:22:02That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
01:22:05How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena?
01:22:06I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:22:13Huh?
01:22:15I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.
01:22:19I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:22:20I mean, just fucking look at me, Elena.
01:22:22I can't even stand up straight.
01:22:23But I love you.
01:22:27Ace, can't you see?
01:22:28No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you.
01:22:34Always.
01:22:40Elena, come on, why?
01:22:41Just stop pushing me away.
01:22:45Ace Atkins, you listen to me right now.
01:22:50You have left me so many times.
01:22:54You can't keep running from me.
01:22:57I am here to stay.
01:23:00Got it?
01:23:01I love you so much.
01:23:03I'm sorry.
01:23:03I'm sorry.
01:23:04Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:23:24Come on, don't try and be tough.
01:23:26No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:23:29So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
01:23:34I'm disabled and I might become a burden to you when we're older.
01:23:39Have you thought about that?
01:23:42If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.
01:23:48I love Ace Atkins.
01:23:50The person, not the leg.
01:23:53So what if you're missing a leg?
01:23:54I will love you all the same.
01:23:56Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:23:58No.
01:24:02No, of course not.
01:24:04I'll always be by your side.
01:24:07Then let me do the same.
01:24:10I am choosing you, okay?
01:24:15Got it.
01:24:28Miss Pearson, your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life.
01:24:39Miss Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success, making you the most popular CEO in the U.S.
01:24:45What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:24:48I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great planning, but also because of my fiancé, Ace Atkins.
01:25:00His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
01:25:05Thank you, me, Wright.
