00:00:00Your deployment's tomorrow. I'm still worried. Don't worry. I'm gonna be back. I'm gonna be
00:00:23safe and sound. The first thing we're gonna do is get married. I'll be waiting.
00:00:30Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's so good to see you. So good to see you. I miss you a lot.
00:00:55I can't wait to go home together. Yeah, we're going to dinner. I'm so sorry to interrupt,
00:01:01but have you seen Ace? He was supposed to come out with you. Ace? He's been back for a month.
00:01:07He didn't tell you. What? Call him up. You'll see. Let's go.
00:01:15Ace came back a month ago, but he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:01:27Ace, open up. I know you're in there. Ace! Ace!
00:01:32Ace, what are you doing? Who is that woman?
00:01:58Ace, open the door!
00:01:59Who the hell are you, and what do you want with Ace? I need to see him.
00:02:11Ace! Explain!
00:02:13Look, I don't know what you want me to say. I...
00:02:15It's over.
00:02:19I got myself a new girl. It's time for you to move on.
00:02:22What do you mean it's over? I waited for you for three years. You said we were going to get married when you came back, and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:02:31I was just fooling around that whole time. I didn't mean any of it. Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally. She's the one, all right? It's not you.
00:02:40I don't believe you. No, I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face. You owe me that at least.
00:02:46That's the problem with you, isn't it? You're always demanding this, demanding that. If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy. You're a spoiled rich heiress, and no guy wants a woman like that. Can't you understand that?
00:02:57Just fuck off.
00:02:59My dad was right about you. And I never should have fallen for you. I hate you, Ace Atkins!
00:03:07Did you really have to be so cruel? I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth. She's not gonna leave you.
00:03:23She's not gonna leave you.
00:03:33That's what I'm afraid of. I love her. She's gotta let her go.
00:03:43Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:03:53I want you to end things with Elena. The engagement is off. Take this money as your compensation.
00:04:11Mr. Pearson, I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you. Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money. All I need is a chance to talk to Elena. That's all I'm asking for.
00:04:23What can you possibly do for Elena? When you can't even stand on your own? All you'll do is break her heart. I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple. If you really love her, leave her alone.
00:04:35Thanks for doing this, Sally. I really appreciate it.
00:04:53We'll start physical therapy in 10 minutes. I'll go get the equipment.
00:05:07I love you Elena. Forget about me. You'll find happiness again.
00:05:15Elena, forget about me.
00:05:19You'll find happiness again.
00:05:25Early 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.
00:05:39For now, the gunman remains at large,
00:05:41while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, is set to take over as CEO.
00:05:45Clean that up.
00:06:04Good morning, gentlemen.
00:06:05I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:06:09I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:06:12The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage
00:06:18and to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
00:06:22My plan...
00:06:24What the hell with your shit plan?
00:06:28You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:06:31I reject it.
00:06:33Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies have led to my father's death.
00:06:37My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:06:40No matter what you say, I will never, ever change my mind.
00:06:44Oh, really?
00:06:47You 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.
00:06:53Tell me what it would be.
00:07:02Don't stop.
00:07:05Hurry!
00:07:06Cory!
00:07:07REAM!
00:07:07Oh, my God.
00:07:37Looks like you 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,
00:07:46or will she be next on the assassin's list?
00:07:49Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:53Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:07:56You could totally assign someone else to handle Lena's case.
00:07:59So you heard the news too, huh?
00:08:01You think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh?
00:08:05I'll handle it.
00:08:07I'll handle it.
00:08:15Lena, today, you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:08:21We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.
00:08:24Simple as that.
00:08:25Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:08:28Have you lost your mind?
00:08:40Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:08:42No one here will testify against me.
00:08:44Just sign the damn paper.
00:08:47Are you all going to let him do this?
00:08:49Lena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those lowlifes.
00:08:52Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:08:54Let's go, Rose.
00:09:02Come on.
00:09:12Get your hands off of her.
00:09:18No way.
00:09:20That voice.
00:09:21It can't be him.
00:09:24It can't be him.
00:09:26You can't.
00:09:27You can't.
00:09:36Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:09:37I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:09:43It's been three years.
00:09:45I've missed you, Lena.
00:09:46You're my what?
00:09:47Jesus, Lena.
00:09:49Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:09:51Stupid or something?
00:09:55You insult my boss again.
00:09:57You're going to be the one that needs some fucking healthcare.
00:09:59Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:10:07Well, leave.
00:10:08Or you're fired.
00:10:09I don't give a shit you're my uncle.
00:10:11There's only one way to deal with people like you, Lena.
00:10:14And that's to get rid of them.
00:10:15Just like I got rid of your father.
00:10:22What are you doing here?
00:10:24No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:10:27Oh, Miss Pearson, Mr. Atkins.
00:10:32I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:10:35Miss, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.
00:10:42Now, as for the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:10:51No.
00:10:54I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:57I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:11:00Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.
00:11:03Anyone but him.
00:11:04Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:11:08With him around, your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:11:13Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute?
00:11:15I need to talk to him.
00:11:16Yes, ma'am.
00:11:21Ace, what are you doing here?
00:11:22I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:11:25Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now and, uh, well, I was worried about you.
00:11:32We broke up three years ago.
00:11:33You cheated on me.
00:11:34You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:11:37The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:11:42The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:11:45No, go.
00:11:46I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:11:52Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:11:58Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:12:00Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:12:03You're delusional.
00:12:05Don't wait now.
00:12:09The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.
00:12:15Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:12:20Let go.
00:12:25Take me home.
00:12:26Later.
00:12:35Asshole.
00:12:36You broke my heart.
00:12:37Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:12:45That's odd.
00:12:46I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:12:49Someone broke in.
00:12:57The killer?
00:12:58The killer?
00:12:58Why so surprised, princess?
00:13:23Didn't you know you were going to be next?
00:13:24No.
00:13:28I don't want to die, please.
00:13:30Someone help me.
00:13:31No.
00:13:31No.
00:13:33No.
00:13:33No.
00:13:33No.
00:13:38No.
00:13:40No.
00:13:53No.
00:13:53He's so good.
00:14:14I thought I was going to die.
00:14:17I thought I was going to die.
00:14:18You're safe.
00:14:19You're hurt.
00:14:20You're all right?
00:14:21You saved me.
00:14:24Mace.
00:14:27You're bleeding.
00:14:32He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even hotter than he used to be.
00:14:37He's still got that same glow.
00:14:39God, I missed her.
00:14:42Do you remember the last time we had a bathroom?
00:14:53He's hard.
00:15:01He's hard.
00:15:06That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:15:10I should wrap that up.
00:15:11You tried to stab me in the leg, and he missed.
00:15:16It's fine.
00:15:17I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:15:23Mace, is there something wrong?
00:15:25It's fine.
00:15:26Okay.
00:15:27It's fine.
00:15:40It's fine.
00:15:41Oh, my, am I interrupting?
00:16:05Uh, no, uh, no. Ace, uh, cut himself, and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:16:16Mr. Atkins, I, uh, brought your luggage up. Great.
00:16:20Oh, wait, he's not staying with me.
00:16:23Well, yes, Miss Pearson, of course. That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:16:35I decided 24-7 to ensure your safety.
00:16:40Oliver, it's not just about the contract. I, I can't, I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:16:48You must understand. You might very well be the next target.
00:16:54If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:17:01I'll be fine. Oliver, you win.
00:17:06Brilliant. Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:17:18I would take a bullet for her.
00:17:20Um, you're the first door on the left. You can stay there.
00:17:37I'll lay there, please.
00:17:37Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:17:40We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:17:44Now, if you're going to be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries.
00:17:47So, here's how it's going to go.
00:17:50You are going to do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm going to live my life.
00:17:54Nothing else.
00:17:56Is that clear?
00:17:58Crystal.
00:18:01I've got to unpack my stuff.
00:18:15Is this his wallet?
00:18:16You said you never loved me, so why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?
00:18:38I checked the house. It's all clear.
00:18:41Safe to sleep.
00:18:42Great. Thanks.
00:18:44I'm going to go to bed now.
00:18:46Shit.
00:19:12Shit.
00:19:12Sorry.
00:19:22I thought you were in danger.
00:19:24Just hand me that towel.
00:19:26It's not like I haven't seen you, Kayla.
00:19:49Be professional.
00:19:51I'm still your boss, remember?
00:19:56Yes, ma'am.
00:20:21You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:22And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:42Ace, I have some scar cream for you.
00:20:44Yeah, just hold on a second, one minute.
00:20:51Hey, what's up?
00:20:53Hey.
00:20:56Just have something for the scars.
00:21:00I can put it on.
00:21:01I'm surprised that you still want to show this much care for me still.
00:21:19Get out for yourself.
00:21:22I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:21:25I know.
00:21:25Calm yourself.
00:21:26He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:21:30Okay.
00:21:34Hold on.
00:21:42Okay, what is with you and this blanket?
00:21:45I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:21:49I think it's fine.
00:21:51I'm just sitting.
00:21:52That's how I sit.
00:21:54I call BS.
00:21:55Let me see it.
00:21:56What if I'm hiding something under there?
00:22:12Maybe I'm hiding an owner to see it.
00:22:15You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:22:26You're my bodyguard.
00:22:28We should keep things professional.
00:22:32Good night.
00:22:35Good night.
00:22:39You're right, Elena.
00:22:41I'm just your bodyguard.
00:22:53Elena.
00:22:54I want you to put this on.
00:22:55It's lightweight.
00:22:57You won't even feel it.
00:22:58I'm not wearing that.
00:23:00You can either do it yourself or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:23:04And I can do it.
00:23:05And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:23:07I can do it myself.
00:23:08You can do it myself.
00:23:34Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:23:40Okay, I have to go. I'm late for work.
00:23:48Yes, ma'am.
00:23:53I'm assuming the assassination didn't go as planned?
00:23:56That idiot calls himself a hitman. He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:24:01Chad, I'm leaving this to you.
00:24:04Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb, and Pearson HealthCare is ours.
00:24:09Consider it done.
00:24:16Jesus, Chad, how many times have I told you to knock?
00:24:20Why do you run?
00:24:22You owe me dinner, remember?
00:24:24I remember.
00:24:25But I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral, so can we take a brain check?
00:24:30Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:24:31You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:24:35This is how people get burned down.
00:24:37You need to take some time off to relax.
00:24:47Yeah.
00:24:49You know what? Let's do dinner.
00:24:50Sir, this is a table for two.
00:25:14Why don't you go sit over there?
00:25:15I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:25:16I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times, but thanks for checking in.
00:25:42Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:25:54You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:25:55Go ahead.
00:26:0182 Lafite.
00:26:03Your favorite.
00:26:03I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:26:07Here, have a taste.
00:26:12Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:26:15I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:26:18Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:26:25Well, my apologies, Elena.
00:26:35I know how tough it's been for you, and I want you to know that I'm here for you, always.
00:26:43And that my heart belongs to you.
00:26:45Sorry, Chad, I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:26:54Can we eat?
00:26:55I'm starving.
00:26:57Yeah.
00:26:57Sam.
00:27:00The mango salad.
00:27:05Oh, hey, Sam, sorry about that.
00:27:07She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:27:09You mind bringing out another clay without him?
00:27:11He still remembers?
00:27:12I'll see what I can talk about now.
00:27:19Wait, didn't you two just meet?
00:27:21How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:25How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:29Well, we actually go way back.
00:27:31And I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference on mangoes.
00:27:34He's my bodyguard.
00:27:35Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know.
00:27:39I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:27:42Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:27:47What was that tonight?
00:28:14If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:28:19Maybe you're just seeing things the way you want to see them.
00:28:23You ever think about that?
00:28:25How could I forget?
00:28:27Right, you shattered my heart.
00:28:31Save it.
00:28:32Just go home.
00:28:34My funeral preparation's to make anyway.
00:28:35I'm sorry, Elena.
00:28:42I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:28:45I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:28:51Elena!
00:28:54Elena?
00:28:54Dad, you're back.
00:28:56What's going on?
00:29:12I'm in my face.
00:29:14It's fine.
00:29:15I'm here with you, okay?
00:29:16You're safe.
00:29:18I had a dream about my dad.
00:29:20One second he was smiling at me, and then the next.
00:29:34I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:29:38Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:29:42You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:29:53And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:29:57Besides, I'm going to be right here the whole time supporting you.
00:30:00Protecting you.
00:30:03Protecting me?
00:30:07Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:30:10I don't know.
00:30:12I love you.
00:30:13A relationship that is in the past.
00:30:17But I would protect you with my life.
00:30:20I'd die for you.
00:30:22I need you to understand that.
00:30:25So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:30:35So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:30:40Stay with me.
00:31:00Stay with me.
00:31:03I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:31:05You're my bodyguard.
00:31:10And I'm scared.
00:31:14Stay with me so I can feel safe.
00:31:17Stay with me.
00:31:28So I can feel safe.
00:31:29If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:31:43What are we doing here?
00:31:45I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:31:48You know, just in case.
00:31:50Always got to be prepared.
00:31:52What I mean is, in case I die first and you're still in danger, you can fight your way out.
00:31:59First case scenario.
00:32:08What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:32:18No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:32:22Try putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.
00:32:26That one there.
00:32:30Push as hard as you can.
00:32:36Right. Nice.
00:32:38All right.
00:32:43Second scenario.
00:32:45What if somebody...
00:32:47Had you like this?
00:32:55What if somebody...
00:32:57Had you like this?
00:32:59It's just self-defense training.
00:33:03Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:33:06What's your move?
00:33:10Um, I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:33:14Like, stomping on the...
00:33:16Very nice.
00:33:21You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:33:23Okay.
00:33:24Third scenario.
00:33:26You ready?
00:33:28All right.
00:33:31What?
00:33:31What?
00:33:36Someone's got you like this.
00:33:38Starts choking you.
00:33:39Um...
00:33:40Get it quick.
00:33:43This?
00:33:46Use your hips.
00:33:48What?
00:33:49Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:33:51As hard as you can.
00:33:57Ace, are you okay?
00:33:59Did I hurt your leg?
00:34:00No.
00:34:00What was that sound?
00:34:05This didn't hurt my leg.
00:34:08It's fine.
00:34:08That was a good job.
00:34:10No, you're hurt.
00:34:12Let me...
00:34:12Fine.
00:34:13That was good work, though.
00:34:14Seriously.
00:34:15Ace, the new security equipment just arrived.
00:34:18Can you come check it out?
00:34:19Yeah, sure.
00:34:19Thanks, Josh.
00:34:21Good job today.
00:34:23Seriously.
00:34:30That sound was weird.
00:34:36Ace is hiding something from me.
00:34:40Hi.
00:34:41Alina, right?
00:34:42I'm Josh.
00:34:44I used to serve with Ace in the military,
00:34:46but now we're colleagues.
00:34:48He talks about you a lot.
00:34:49Hi, Josh.
00:34:52I'm sorry, can I ask...
00:34:54Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:34:57Uh-huh.
00:35:01Leg?
00:35:02No.
00:35:03Not that I know of.
00:35:04You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:35:07Everyone here knows that there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:35:12And that person is you, Alina.
00:35:16You're mistaken.
00:35:17He...
00:35:18He doesn't love me.
00:35:20At all.
00:35:20If you knew him, then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:35:24You know, I might be just an outsider.
00:35:27But I know Ace.
00:35:29Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:35:33All right.
00:35:34I gotta go check out on Ace and the new equipment.
00:35:36It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:35:40Maybe some things aren't what they seem?
00:35:42What does that even mean?
00:35:45Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:35:46Everything looks great.
00:35:47Okay.
00:35:47Okay.
00:35:52Ace.
00:35:53Alina, I asked about your leg.
00:35:54Okay.
00:35:57What'd you say?
00:36:03What'd you say?
00:36:04Don't worry.
00:36:05I'd say worry.
00:36:07But, honestly, man, I think she still cares about you.
00:36:11Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:36:12I appreciate your input, Josh, but I think I know what's best for Alina and I...
00:36:17Might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:36:19It's overdue for a replacement.
00:36:21If you keep stalling, you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:36:24You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:36:28I'm still on the job.
00:36:29I can't leave Alina alone.
00:36:30I think that would be very, uh, irresponsible of me.
00:36:33Don't you think, Josh?
00:36:34Man, I'm going hell romantic.
00:36:36You know that?
00:36:37Yeah, well, that makes one of us.
00:36:38Why don't you get the hell out of here, all right?
00:36:40Almighty God, in your mercy, turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life
00:37:01and the sorrow of parting into the joy of heaven.
00:37:05Through our Savior, Jesus Christ, who died, rose again, and lives forevermore.
00:37:13Amen.
00:37:17My deepest condolences.
00:37:20May your father rest in peace.
00:37:22If your father knew that your reckless reforms would be tearing his company apart,
00:37:26you would never rest in peace.
00:37:28He was your brother.
00:37:30If you had even a shred of affection for him,
00:37:32you would never say something like that at his funeral.
00:37:35You know, Uncle Houston, I've always wondered.
00:37:38You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:37:42Could it be that you had something to do with his death?
00:37:46That is outrageous slander.
00:37:49How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral?
00:38:02Sorry for your loss.
00:38:05Let me see.
00:38:28Are you doing what I'm wearing?
00:38:30That's enough.
00:38:42This was my father's favorite.
00:38:45I got it for him for his birthday,
00:38:47but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:38:59Right here.
00:39:00I'm not going anywhere.
00:39:10Good night.
00:39:13No.
00:39:16Don't go.
00:39:21Can you promise
00:39:23you won't leave me again?
00:39:26I promise.
00:39:28I'll never leave you again.
00:39:29Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:39:35Someone that you can't forget.
00:39:36Is that someone me?
00:39:41Tell me, Ace.
00:39:42Yes.
00:39:52That someone is you.
00:39:54It always has been.
00:39:55If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:39:58Look, it's been a long day.
00:39:59I don't think we should talk about it.
00:40:03I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:40:05But you did hurt me.
00:40:08Three years ago,
00:40:09I waited for you to come back and marry me,
00:40:12and then you left me for another woman.
00:40:14You broke my heart.
00:40:16And then you just walked back in my life like nothing happened.
00:40:21No.
00:40:21No.
00:40:22No!
00:40:22I don't know.
00:40:52Oh, my God, I drank too much.
00:41:06Can we sleep together?
00:41:09Hungry?
00:41:11I had your breakfast.
00:41:13Last night, we...
00:41:17You were drunk.
00:41:19Very drunk.
00:41:20I took care of you.
00:41:22That was it.
00:41:22He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:41:25Jerk.
00:41:28Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:41:34You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:41:48Haven't you dealt with that bitch, Elena, yet?
00:41:51She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:41:53She's hard to handle.
00:41:54A bodyguard of her is practically glued onto her.
00:41:58I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:42:01This will not do.
00:42:03She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:42:06Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:42:09If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:42:12What do you want me to do?
00:42:16Company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:42:18Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board, which you're going
00:42:21to do.
00:42:22Is invite her to go as your date, and then you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:42:26Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:42:29We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from her form.
00:42:34Kill two birds with one stone.
00:42:35I like that.
00:42:36Exactly.
00:42:37The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:42:40There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:42:48Elena.
00:42:49I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:42:56I told you, Mr. Vegas would be chasing this person.
00:42:59He's been out for ages.
00:43:00His persistence is kind of impressive.
00:43:10Chad, I...
00:43:11Elena, trust me.
00:43:13I can help you win over a couple more board members for the health care reform plan.
00:43:21Yeah.
00:43:23Yes, I would love to go to dinner.
00:43:25Great.
00:43:26See you later.
00:43:26Mm-hmm.
00:43:46How do I look?
00:43:48You look beautiful.
00:43:50You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:43:53What, are you jealous?
00:43:57I just don't think that that guy deserves all of this.
00:44:08Oh, speak of the double.
00:44:11Beautiful.
00:44:13Elena, we should get going.
00:44:14We're going to be late.
00:44:14And, uh, ace, remember your place, okay, there, sport?
00:44:20You're the bodyguard.
00:44:23So make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:44:27Elena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses, but I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:44:51Forget about that for a moment.
00:44:52Forget about that for a moment.
00:44:53What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:44:58Given the company's current PR crisis, announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:45:04Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:45:07Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:45:12Chad and I are...
00:45:12Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:45:19Our company has faced challenges recently.
00:45:23But, on this special night, our new CEO, Ms. Elena Pearson, would like to say a few words.
00:45:31Before Ms. Pearson says anything, I have a surprise for her.
00:45:42I have a surprise for her.
00:45:45Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:46:01Will you marry me?
00:46:02Marry him!
00:46:04Marry him!
00:46:05Marry him!
00:46:06Marry him!
00:46:08Marry him!
00:46:09Marry him!
00:46:11Marry him!
00:46:12Marry him!
00:46:13Chad, stand up.
00:46:15What are you doing?
00:46:16I don't...
00:46:16Come on, let's go.
00:46:19We're leaving.
00:46:19We're leaving.
00:46:23We're leaving.
00:46:24We're leaving.
00:46:29What the hell are you doing?
00:46:40Storming out like that in front of all those guests.
00:46:41You've realized how bad you're making the company's image look.
00:46:44Oh, really?
00:46:45So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:46:48That's ridiculous.
00:46:49Who I marry is none of your business.
00:46:52We're over, Ace.
00:46:53You're just my bodyguard.
00:46:54You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:46:56You don't mean that.
00:46:57You don't love that guy.
00:46:59You barely fucking know him.
00:47:01Who I love is none of your concern.
00:47:04Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins,
00:47:07when you push me away over and over again.
00:47:10Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal,
00:47:12you would have nothing to do with it.
00:47:13You couldn't stop me.
00:47:14Elayna, Elayna, where are you?
00:47:29Elayna, are you in there?
00:47:34Tell him you're busy.
00:47:36Make him leave.
00:47:40Tell him you're busy.
00:47:41Make him leave.
00:47:42I'll be out in a minute.
00:48:07Are you sure you're okay?
00:48:08Okay.
00:48:08Okay.
00:48:12Yeah, I'm fine.
00:48:13Just go.
00:48:31Ace, you're a bastard.
00:48:34Look, I'm sorry about that,
00:48:35but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:48:37Oh, and you do?
00:48:38You abandoned me.
00:48:40We were supposed to get married.
00:48:43You have no right to say that to me.
00:48:46What do you think's going on here?
00:48:48Do you think that I don't love you?
00:48:51I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much I...
00:48:52Elayna!
00:48:53Who's in there with you?
00:48:55How much what?
00:48:55What are you saying?
00:49:00How much what?
00:49:01What are you saying?
00:49:02Elayna!
00:49:03What do you think?
00:49:10What are you two doing in here?
00:49:11I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:49:14You told me it was just a date to the gala,
00:49:16and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:49:18Proposing in front of everyone?
00:49:20What?
00:49:21Have you lost your mind?
00:49:22Elayna, I have been pursuing you for so long,
00:49:24and you've never rejected me.
00:49:26So that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:49:30What?
00:49:31I haven't said anything.
00:49:32You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:49:34What's the difference, hmm?
00:49:36Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.
00:49:39Since you've never rejected me,
00:49:41it's clear that you like me.
00:49:42It's only natural for us to be together.
00:49:44Hey, don't step closer.
00:49:46And who the hell are you?
00:49:48You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:49:51Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:49:54Acting all on your high horse,
00:49:55but deep down, you're just a slut
00:49:57sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:49:59Bravo, bravo.
00:50:08You two are the perfect pair of adulterous.
00:50:10Hey, this must be nice, huh?
00:50:12Living with your boss,
00:50:13sleeping with her on the side.
00:50:15Shut the fuck up.
00:50:16Is the matter, struck a nerve?
00:50:17Elayna, you have the audacity
00:50:20to accuse me of damaging the company?
00:50:24Take a look in the mirror.
00:50:26You're the CEO,
00:50:27sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:50:28You're the real disgrace
00:50:29of the piercing group.
00:50:34You see that girl right there?
00:50:37There's no one in the world
00:50:38that I love more than her.
00:50:39You're not going to disrespect her.
00:50:41You show face around here again,
00:50:42I'm going to fuck you too.
00:50:43I'm going to understand.
00:50:44Do you understand?
00:50:44You left me?
00:51:00Did you mean what you said?
00:51:04Ace, just tell me the truth.
00:51:06That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:51:08No, Elayna, I can't be with you.
00:51:14I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:51:16I'm not whole.
00:51:17I'll never be enough for you.
00:51:19That was just impulsive.
00:51:20I shouldn't have said that.
00:51:21I'm sorry.
00:51:21You're lying.
00:51:24You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:51:28You'd risk your life for me.
00:51:29You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:51:31That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
00:51:34That is something more,
00:51:35and you know it.
00:51:37Moments ago, right here,
00:51:38you said that you loved me
00:51:39more than anyone else in the world.
00:51:41Ace,
00:51:42why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:51:48Elayna, look.
00:51:53Look.
00:51:55I'm here to guard you.
00:51:58I'm your bodyguard.
00:52:00I shouldn't have crossed the line,
00:52:02and I'm sorry.
00:52:04Now,
00:52:05let's go.
00:52:07Stay away for me.
00:52:09Elayna.
00:52:12I'm sorry, Elayna.
00:52:13I can't hold you back.
00:52:15You deserve better
00:52:16than a broken man like myself.
00:52:23Can't handle one woman?
00:52:25Absolutely useless.
00:52:26That bitch has been screaming,
00:52:28but you got it the whole damn time.
00:52:29What do you want me to do?
00:52:30You're a pathetic freaking loser.
00:52:34I'm going to kill him.
00:52:37It's only a matter of time.
00:52:39If that's the case,
00:52:40there's only one option left.
00:52:43We want Pearson group.
00:52:44We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:52:47Just like we did her father.
00:52:49You think you can fix everything
00:53:03that these little tricks won't work, Ace?
00:53:06It's your favorite.
00:53:08French toast.
00:53:10Been up since six,
00:53:11making sure everything was perfect.
00:53:13I know it's been a while,
00:53:14so I hope it tastes like
00:53:16how you remember it.
00:53:32Oliver, what are you doing here?
00:53:34This is a signed first edition.
00:53:40Mr. Atkins went through
00:53:41several of his connections
00:53:43to track that down for you.
00:53:46And while you were at your meetings,
00:53:48he took it upon himself
00:53:50to redecorate your entire office.
00:53:53Do you really think gestures like these
00:54:02are going to make me forgive you?
00:54:07I just want you to be happy,
00:54:09Elena.
00:54:10Whether you forgive me or not
00:54:12doesn't really matter.
00:54:14You have every right to hate me
00:54:15and to push me away
00:54:16if that's what you want.
00:54:17But please,
00:54:19just don't let this anger
00:54:21eat away at you.
00:54:24It wasn't your fault.
00:54:25None of it was.
00:54:27It was mine.
00:54:30Don't think you've won me over.
00:54:31I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:35Don't think you've won me over.
00:54:37I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:40Go make me a coffee.
00:54:42I have a meeting soon.
00:54:43Okay.
00:54:44Okay.
00:54:47Miss Pearson,
00:54:50if I may say,
00:54:53Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
00:54:56And from the way you look at him,
00:54:58it's clear you feel the same way.
00:55:01So why not just be together?
00:55:04Homer, you don't understand.
00:55:06Every time I take a step forward,
00:55:08he takes two steps back.
00:55:10It's not that simple.
00:55:12Well, then maybe you should
00:55:13take the lead.
00:55:15Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:55:20Why not use the occasion
00:55:21to clear the air
00:55:23and finally talk it through?
00:55:28Maybe.
00:55:29maybe you should
00:55:41take the lead.
00:55:45The first gift I ever gave Ace
00:55:46was a motorcycle
00:55:47and he loved it.
00:55:50Ace, stay here.
00:55:50I have a surprise for you.
00:55:52All right.
00:55:57And your order
00:55:58will be delivered tonight.
00:55:59Thank you so much.
00:56:00Thank you for shopping.
00:56:01What is Miss Pearson?
00:56:01ありますing.
00:56:02Hello.
00:56:14Bye.
00:56:16Bye.
00:57:18This is about the company's health care reforms that I promised you.
00:57:21I'm proposing a new plan.
00:57:23It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
00:57:26Shut your mouth.
00:57:28This isn't about health care.
00:57:30You got it all wrong.
00:57:31What?
00:57:31My uncle hired you?
00:57:41He paid you to kill my dad?
00:57:42Ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:57:43It took you long enough to figure out.
00:57:46Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:57:50Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head!
00:57:53Okay, I'll sign.
00:57:58But you have to let me go after.
00:58:00Good.
00:58:02Sign it.
00:58:03Then you're free to go.
00:58:05He's lying.
00:58:06As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
00:58:08Think, Elena.
00:58:09Think.
00:58:10Hurry up.
00:58:10Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
00:58:17Okay?
00:58:19Jesus.
00:58:24No.
00:58:29I don't want to die.
00:58:30Please, Ace, save me.
00:58:35Now that this job is completed, I can never have to worry about money ever again.
00:58:42Good job.
00:58:43Good job.
00:58:52Ah!
00:58:54Ah!
00:59:00Drop your weapon or I'll blow her brains out.
00:59:03I thought you were.
00:59:04Ace, don't do it.
00:59:06Drop your weapon!
00:59:09Good job.
00:59:15Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:59:17Good.
00:59:18Good.
00:59:18No!
00:59:31No!
00:59:33No!
00:59:35Come on!
00:59:35No!
00:59:38No!
00:59:39No!
00:59:43Are you crazy?
00:59:45You had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after it.
00:59:48I thought I lost you.
00:59:50It's going to be okay.
00:59:54I knew exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.
00:59:57It's over.
01:00:08Who sent you?
01:00:09Talk!
01:00:12Okay, just give me a medic.
01:00:13I don't want to die.
01:00:14You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers.
01:00:16So talk!
01:00:18Oh, it's Houston.
01:00:21He paid me to kill Carter.
01:00:23I can't have Malina.
01:00:25There's proof.
01:00:26Where?
01:00:27My left jacket pocket.
01:00:29Just take it!
01:00:33Kill that idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.
01:00:38Why would he murder his own brother?
01:00:45My father's been nothing but kind to him.
01:00:52The cops are on the way.
01:00:55Everything's fine.
01:00:56Because I don't understand.
01:00:58Houston was the company's second largest shareholder.
01:01:01What more could he possibly want?
01:01:02Why would he murder my father?
01:01:07And in front of me, too.
01:01:09I'm going to have to live with that image scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life.
01:01:14Some people just want more.
01:01:16And it's never enough.
01:01:17They're just greedy and they're monsters.
01:01:19And you never have to think about them again, okay?
01:01:21It's over.
01:01:23It's over.
01:01:27I'm going to go.
01:01:29Hey.
01:01:30Let's go.
01:01:31Okay.
01:01:31Please pull over.
01:01:44What's wrong?
01:01:46Your arm.
01:01:47It's bleeding.
01:01:48Didn't you notice?
01:01:49No, I didn't notice.
01:01:50It must have happened during the fight.
01:01:52You're unbelievable.
01:01:55It's fine.
01:01:57Just pull over right up there.
01:01:59It's fine.
01:01:59No, I'll take care of it.
01:02:00We'll stop for a bit.
01:02:01Please, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
01:02:18Why not?
01:02:18Come on.
01:02:19Tell me the truth or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel it.
01:02:23Hey, look, I screwed up, but that's in the past.
01:02:34I just want to move forward, okay?
01:02:37Please be honest with me.
01:02:38Do you still love me?
01:02:39Come on, don't try and dodge the question.
01:02:44Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't.
01:02:46You charged right in to save me.
01:02:48If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
01:02:53I love you.
01:02:54I love you.
01:02:56I always had.
01:02:57Never stopped.
01:02:58Not even for a second.
01:03:00I believe you this time.
01:03:03Let's start fresh.
01:03:04I love you, Elena.
01:03:06I've always loved you.
01:03:16Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
01:03:19I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.
01:03:23Today we're here to talk about my health care reform strategy.
01:03:33You can't even handle your personal life.
01:03:37The news came out, and this company's stock prices fell another five points.
01:03:41And yet you still think you can push through reforms.
01:03:45I'm the first to object.
01:03:47Elena, do you know how the other health care companies are mocking us?
01:03:50They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.
01:03:57Uncle Houston, if my scandals are causing such problems for the company,
01:04:02how do you plan to account for the damages that your actions have caused?
01:04:08Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:04:14Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:04:20That's slander.
01:04:22Your father was killed by an angry citizen who is dissatisfied with the current health care system.
01:04:27What does that have to do with me?
01:04:32Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson, and the $5 million is yours.
01:04:37I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson,
01:04:45and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
01:04:54I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.
01:05:01You murdered my father and tried to kill me.
01:05:03You need to pay for your crimes.
01:05:06You need to pay for your crimes.
01:05:08Who do you think you are?
01:05:09Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
01:05:12I gave everything to this company.
01:05:15Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson,
01:05:19inherit this company?
01:05:20What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?
01:05:23This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology
01:05:27that increased our claim denial rate to 40%,
01:05:30the highest in the industry.
01:05:32And that old fool Carter,
01:05:35he dared to yell at me over this.
01:05:37He deserved to die!
01:05:38Every accomplishment you've made
01:05:41has been riding off to the coattails of struggling people
01:05:44and my father's life.
01:05:45And you show no remorse for them.
01:05:48You're a monster.
01:05:51Don't move!
01:05:56Raise your hands.
01:05:59Houston Pearson,
01:06:00your honor for first-degree murder.
01:06:02I don't know.
01:06:31All those in favor of implementing my health care reform strategy, raise your hand.
01:06:41Very well.
01:06:43It seems the majority has voted.
01:06:46Yes.
01:06:47I declare that the health care reform plan, with the slogan, deliver, declare and disclose,
01:06:53has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.
01:07:04Cheers.
01:07:05Cheers.
01:07:06Cheers.
01:07:07Cheers.
01:07:08Cheers.
01:07:09Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.
01:07:10Bring it in, guys.
01:07:11Bring it in, guys.
01:07:12Cheers.
01:07:13Cheers.
01:07:14Cheers.
01:07:15Cheers.
01:07:16Cheers.
01:07:17Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.
01:07:22Bring it in, guys.
01:07:25Congratulations on the huge success of the health care reform.
01:07:39Bring it in, guys.
01:07:42Congrats, you two.
01:07:44Looks like you guys are officially back together.
01:07:47Should I be planning your reunion party?
01:07:49Yeah, that's enough.
01:07:49Oh, Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.
01:07:59Thank you so much, guys.
01:08:01If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my health care reform plan would have passed.
01:08:06Especially you, Ace.
01:08:09I don't know what I would have done without you.
01:08:14Well, I'll always be your right.
01:08:19Cheers!
01:08:21Heck yeah.
01:08:34Hey.
01:08:35Hey.
01:08:37Were you looking for me?
01:08:39Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal and he's trying to make everyone join him.
01:08:45Oh, they're just keeping me an eye on him.
01:08:46I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.
01:08:51I guess I have to reserve all my energy for you.
01:08:58Mr. Atkins, your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.
01:09:04What's next on your agenda?
01:09:06I have a few ideas.
01:09:07I have a few ideas.
01:09:37What's wrong?
01:09:43What's wrong?
01:09:45Nothing.
01:09:46Just, um...
01:09:50I don't know if we're in the right place or if it's the right time.
01:09:56What?
01:09:58After everything we've been through, Ace, I thought we were past this.
01:10:01I know, but I, uh...
01:10:03But what?
01:10:08I just, uh, I don't think we should rush into this.
01:10:11I think we should think this through, okay?
01:10:13You're a jerk.
01:10:20God, I'm an asshole.
01:10:24Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:10:37Hey, Ace!
01:10:55It's okay.
01:10:58It's okay, he's dead.
01:10:59It's over.
01:11:09Oh, my God!
01:11:11Miss Pearson!
01:11:12I'm going to call an ambulance!
01:11:13Is he going to be okay, doctor?
01:11:22I'll tell Elena about a...
01:11:35...by prosthetic leg.
01:11:38All right.
01:11:41I respect your wishes.
01:11:46Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:11:50His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:11:54Thank you, doctor.
01:11:55By the way, there's, um, a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:12:01Okay, I'll go there now, then.
01:12:07Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:12:09Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:12:12According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives, has been involved
01:12:21in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.
01:12:25The killer was hired by him.
01:12:27What?
01:12:29Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:12:31Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:12:35You can rest assured that with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.
01:12:40You're safe.
01:12:42Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:12:49You can rest.
01:12:52I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:12:56Ace?
01:12:57Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete, and you're no longer in danger, so it's time for me to leave.
01:13:14I just wanted to say goodbye, and I wish you all the best.
01:13:19Ace.
01:13:21What the hell?
01:13:22You're leaving me again?
01:13:24I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:13:27It's her.
01:13:38The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:13:55So you're a physical therapist?
01:13:59That's your daughter and husband?
01:14:01Yes.
01:14:01I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:14:06You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
01:14:09This involves Ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:14:15But Alina, I assure you Ace did not betray you.
01:14:18Then why?
01:14:20Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?
01:14:25I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
01:14:29But I think that deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:14:35He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:14:37Alina, what are you doing there?
01:14:46Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital, and he just left me a note.
01:14:49Do you know where he is?
01:14:50What?
01:14:53Does he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic
01:14:57leg?
01:14:57What do you mean prosthetic leg?
01:15:04Oh man, I wasn't supposed to say that.
01:15:07Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
01:15:10All right.
01:15:12Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:15:16Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.
01:15:20So he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
01:15:24Later, after he got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.
01:15:29He thought a great girl like you deserved better.
01:15:32So he avoided you at critical moments.
01:15:38Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:15:41He's getting his new prosthetic leg fitted right now.
01:15:43Let's go find him, Alina.
01:15:45Ace, you jerk.
01:15:47How could you keep something so important from me?
01:15:49This time, I won't let you go.
01:15:51I won't let you walk away again.
01:15:54Fortunately, you came in time.
01:15:57The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
01:16:00With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:16:03This one is newly made for you.
01:16:05Try it.
01:16:06Thanks.
01:16:06Thanks, guys.
01:16:07Thanks, guys.
01:16:08Thanks, guys.
01:16:08Thanks, guys.
01:16:08Thanks, guys.
01:16:09Thanks, guys.
01:16:10Thanks, guys.
01:16:11Thanks, guys.
01:16:12Thanks, guys.
01:16:13Thanks, guys.
01:16:14Thanks, guys.
01:16:15Thanks, guys.
01:16:16Thanks, guys.
01:16:17Thanks, guys.
01:16:18Thanks, guys.
01:16:20Thanks, guys.
01:16:21Thanks, guys.
01:16:22Thanks, guys.
01:16:23Thanks, guys.
01:16:24Thanks, guys.
01:16:25Thanks, guys.
01:16:26Thanks, guys.
01:16:27Thanks, guys.
01:16:28Thanks, guys.
01:16:29Thanks, guys.
01:16:30Thanks, guys.
01:16:31Thanks, guys.
01:16:32Thanks, guys.
01:16:33Thanks, guys.
01:16:34Thanks, guys.
01:16:35Thanks, guys.
01:16:36This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:16:44This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:16:47What are you doing here?
01:16:48You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.
01:16:53This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:16:57Elena, you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
01:17:01I need you to leave right now.
01:17:02Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:17:04Do you really think that little of me?
01:17:08That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
01:17:11How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena?
01:17:12I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:17:20Huh?
01:17:21I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.
01:17:25I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:17:26I mean, just fucking look at me, Elena!
01:17:28I can't even stand up straight!
01:17:30But I love you!
01:17:30Ace, can't you see?
01:17:36No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you!
01:17:40Always!
01:17:46Elena, come on, why?
01:17:47Just stop pushing me away!
01:17:51Ace Atkins, you listen to me right now.
01:17:54You have left me so many times.
01:18:00You can't keep running from me.
01:18:03I am here to stay.
01:18:06Got it?
01:18:07I love you so much.
01:18:09I'm sorry.
01:18:10I'm sorry.
01:18:10Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:18:30Come on, don't try and be tough.
01:18:31No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:18:36So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
01:18:40I'm disabled and I might become a burden to you when we're older.
01:18:46Have you thought about that?
01:18:46If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.
01:18:54I love Ace Atkins.
01:18:56The person, not the leg.
01:18:59So what if you're missing a leg?
01:19:00I will love you all the same.
01:19:03Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:19:05No, no, of course not, man.
01:19:11I'll always be by your side.
01:19:13Then let me do the same.
01:19:16I am choosing you, okay?
01:19:21Got it.
01:19:35Miss Pearson, your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life.
01:19:45Miss Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success, making you the most popular CEO in the U.S.
01:19:51What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:19:55I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great planning, but also because of my fiance.
01:20:05Ace Atkins.
01:20:07His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
