00:00:00Yes!
00:00:09Your deployment's tomorrow. I'm still worried.
00:00:20Don't worry. I'm going to be back. I'm going to be safe and sound.
00:00:23The first thing we're going to do is get married.
00:00:25I'll be waiting.
00:00:30Oh, my God.
00:00:48Oh, my God. It's so good to see you.
00:00:52It's so good to see you.
00:00:53I miss you a lot.
00:00:56Can't wait to go home together.
00:00:57Yeah. What are you having for dinner?
00:00:59I'm so sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace? He was supposed to come out with you.
00:01:04Ace? He's been back for a month. He didn't tell you.
00:01:08What?
00:01:11Call him up. You'll see.
00:01:14Let's go.
00:01:17Ace came back a month ago, but he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:01:22Ace, open up. I know you're in there.
00:01:30Ace! Ace!
00:01:32Ace!
00:01:41Ace, what are you doing?
00:01:51Who is that woman?
00:01:53Ace, open the door!
00:02:00Who the hell are you and what do you want with Ace?
00:02:02I need to see him.
00:02:10Ace!
00:02:10Ace, explain!
00:02:12Ace, explain!
00:02:12Ace, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:02:16It's over.
00:02:18I got myself a new girl.
00:02:20It's time for you to move on.
00:02:22What do you mean it's over?
00:02:24I waited for you for three years.
00:02:26You said we were going to get married when you came back, and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:02:30I was just fooling around that whole time.
00:02:32I didn't mean any of it.
00:02:34Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally.
00:02:37She's the one, all right?
00:02:38It's not you.
00:02:40I don't believe you.
00:02:41No, I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face.
00:02:45You owe me that at least.
00:02:46That's the problem with you, isn't it?
00:02:48You're always demanding this, demanding that.
00:02:49If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy.
00:02:51You're a spoiled rich heiress, and no guy wants a woman like that.
00:02:56Can't you understand that?
00:02:58Just fuck off.
00:03:00My dad was right about you.
00:03:04I never should have fallen for you.
00:03:06I hate Ace Atkins!
00:03:16Did you really have to be so cruel?
00:03:20I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth.
00:03:22She's not going to leave you.
00:03:33That's what I'm afraid of.
00:03:35I love her.
00:03:38She's got to let her go.
00:03:43Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:03:46I want you to end things with Elena.
00:04:07The engagement is off.
00:04:08Take this money as your compensation.
00:04:10Mr. Pearson, I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you.
00:04:18Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money.
00:04:21All I need is a chance to talk to Elena.
00:04:22That's all I'm asking.
00:04:23What can you possibly do for Elena when you can't even stand on your own?
00:04:28All you'll do is break her heart.
00:04:30I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:04:33If you really love her, leave her alone.
00:04:35Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:05:03I really appreciate it.
00:05:06We'll start physical therapy in 10 minutes.
00:05:09I'll go get the equipment.
00:05:13I love you, Elena.
00:05:16Forget about me.
00:05:18You'll find happiness again.
00:05:19Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare, was fatally shot by a gunman on 5th Avenue.
00:05:31Police suspect the attack may be related to the wave of insurance policy changes that Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement.
00:05:38For now, the gunman remains at large, while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, is set to take over as CEO.
00:05:44Clean that up.
00:05:56Good morning, gentlemen.
00:06:05I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:06:08I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:06:12The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage, and to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
00:06:20My plan...
00:06:25To hell with your shit plan!
00:06:28You're giving away our profits to these poor people!
00:06:30I reject it!
00:06:32Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies have led to my father's death.
00:06:36My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:06:39No matter what you say, I will never, ever change my mind.
00:06:43You think you can control the entire group?
00:06:49I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:06:51I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:06:51I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:07:13I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:07:43Will your heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform, or will she be next on the assassin's list?
00:07:48Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:52Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:07:55You could totally assign someone else to handle Elena's case.
00:07:58So you heard the news too, huh?
00:08:00I don't think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh.
00:08:04I'll handle it.
00:08:13Elena, today, you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:08:20We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.
00:08:23Simple as that.
00:08:24Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:08:27Have you lost your mind?
00:08:39Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:08:41No one here will testify against me.
00:08:43Just sign the damn paper.
00:08:45Are you all going to let him do this?
00:08:47Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those lowlifes.
00:08:51Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:08:53Let's go, guys.
00:09:01Come on.
00:09:15Get your hands off of her.
00:09:18No way.
00:09:19That voice, it can't be him.
00:09:23It can't be him.
00:09:25It can't!
00:09:34Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:09:39I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:09:41It's been three years.
00:09:43I've missed you, Elena.
00:09:45You're my what?
00:09:46Jesus, Elena.
00:09:47Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:09:50Stupid or something?
00:09:51You insult my boss again.
00:09:56You're going to be the one that needs some fucking health care.
00:09:59Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:10:06Leave or you're fired.
00:10:08I don't give a shit.
00:10:08You're my uncle.
00:10:10There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena, and that's to get rid of them.
00:10:14Just like I got rid of your father.
00:10:20What are you doing here?
00:10:22No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:10:25Miss Pearson, Mr. Atkins, Mr. Atkins, I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:10:33Miss, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.
00:10:40Now, as for the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:10:49Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute? I need to talk to him.
00:11:14Yes, ma'am.
00:11:15Ace, what are you doing here?
00:11:21I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:11:23Health care CEOs are on high alert right now and, uh, well, I was worried about you.
00:11:30We broke up three years ago.
00:11:31You cheated on me.
00:11:32You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:11:35The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:11:39The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:11:44No, go.
00:11:45I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:11:51Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:11:56Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:11:59Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:12:01You're delusional.
00:12:02Elena.
00:12:08The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.
00:12:13Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:12:19Let go.
00:12:23Take me home.
00:12:28Elena!
00:12:29Asshole.
00:12:34You broke my heart.
00:12:35Now you come back into my life like it's nothing.
00:12:43That's odd.
00:12:45I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:12:54Someone broke in.
00:12:55The killer?
00:12:56Why so surprised, princess?
00:13:21Didn't you know you were gonna be next?
00:13:22No.
00:13:26I don't want to die, please.
00:13:28Someone help me.
00:13:29...
00:13:35No.
00:13:36I don't want to die.
00:13:48I don't want to die.
00:13:48Please come back.
00:13:49Now I'm up to her.
00:13:50Let's get her.
00:13:50I don't want to die.
00:13:51Come back.
00:13:51Let's get her look.
00:13:51I belong to her.
00:13:52What do you want to die?
00:13:52No.
00:13:53남boy, Chrissy, you gallery.
00:13:53Oh, God, I thought I was going to die.
00:14:15You're safe.
00:14:17You're hurt.
00:14:18You're all right.
00:14:19You saved me.
00:14:22Nice.
00:14:23You're bleeding.
00:14:30He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even hotter than he used to be.
00:14:35He's still got that same glow.
00:14:37God, I missed her.
00:14:40Do you remember the last time we, uh, met her?
00:14:45He's hard.
00:14:59Yes, ma'am.
00:15:00That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:15:08I should wrap that up.
00:15:11He tried to stab me in the leg, and he missed.
00:15:14It's fine.
00:15:15I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:15:18He says, is there something wrong?
00:15:23It's fine.
00:15:24Okay.
00:15:25I saw the knife.
00:15:47Oh my, am I interrupting?
00:16:04No, no, Ace cut himself and I was just helping him dress the wound.
00:16:14Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up.
00:16:18Wait, he's not staying with me.
00:16:21Yes, Miss Pearson, of course.
00:16:24That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:16:27The contract clearly states that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7 to ensure your safety.
00:16:37Oliver, it's not just about the contract. I can't... I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:16:45You must understand. You might very well be the next target.
00:16:51If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:16:59Fine. Oliver, you win.
00:17:03Brilliant. Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:17:12I would take a bullet for her.
00:17:21Um, you're the first door on the left. You can stay there.
00:17:33Elena, please.
00:17:34Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:17:38We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:17:41Now, if you're gonna be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries.
00:17:45So, here's how it's gonna go.
00:17:47You are gonna do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm gonna live my life.
00:17:51Nothing else.
00:17:53Is that clear?
00:17:55Crystal.
00:17:57I'll give him unpack my stuff.
00:18:12Is this his wallet?
00:18:14You said you never left me, so why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?
00:18:36I checked the house. It's all clear. Safe to sleep.
00:18:40Great. Thanks. I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:18:43I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:19:09Shit.
00:19:13Sorry.
00:19:18I thought you were in danger.
00:19:21Just hand me that towel.
00:19:23It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:19:33Be professional. I'm still your boss, remember?
00:19:37Yes, ma'am.
00:19:38I'm still your boss, remember?
00:19:39Yes, ma'am.
00:19:43I'm still your boss.
00:19:44Yes, ma'am.
00:19:45I'm still your boss, I'm still your boss, remember?
00:19:51Yes, ma'am.
00:19:53Yes, ma'am.
00:20:18You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:20And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:39Ace, I have some scar cream for you.
00:20:41Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:20:48Hey, what's up?
00:20:51Hey.
00:20:53Just have something for the scars.
00:20:57I can put it on.
00:20:59Okay.
00:21:00I'm surprised that you still want to show this much care for me still.
00:21:15Get out for yourself.
00:21:18I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:21:21Why not calm yourself? He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:21:27Okay.
00:21:28Okay, what is with you and this blanket? I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:21:44I think it's fine. Just sitting. That's how I sit.
00:21:50I call BS. Let me see it.
00:21:53What if I'm hiding something under there?
00:22:09Maybe I'm hiding an owner to see it.
00:22:12I see it.
00:22:22You're not my boyfriend anymore. You're my bodyguard.
00:22:24You should keep things professional.
00:22:29Good night for you.
00:22:33Good night.
00:22:34You're right.
00:22:37You're right, Elena.
00:22:38I'm just your bodyguard.
00:22:49Elena.
00:22:50Elena, I want you to put this on. It's lightweight. You won't even feel it.
00:22:55I'm not wearing that.
00:22:57You can either do it yourself or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:23:01And I can do it.
00:23:02And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:23:04Look, I can do it myself.
00:23:13May I?
00:23:14I've got it.
00:23:20Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:23:37It's inside.
00:23:40Okay, I have to go. I'm late for work.
00:23:45Yes, ma'am.
00:23:50I'm assuming the assassination didn't go as planned.
00:23:53An idiot calls himself a hitman he can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:23:58Chad, I'm leaving this to you.
00:24:01Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb, and Pearson HealthCare is ours.
00:24:06Consider it done.
00:24:13Jesus, Chad, how many times have I told you to knock?
00:24:17Why do you run?
00:24:17You owe me dinner, remember?
00:24:20I remember.
00:24:22But I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral, so can we take a brain check?
00:24:27Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:24:30You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:24:32This is how people get burned down.
00:24:33You need to take some time off to relax.
00:24:35You need to take some time off to relax.
00:24:36You need to take some time off to relax.
00:24:43Yeah.
00:24:45You know what? Let's do dinner.
00:24:52Great.
00:24:52Sir, this is a table for two.
00:25:10Why don't you go sit over there?
00:25:12I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:25:33I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times, but thanks for checking in.
00:25:49Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:25:50If you guys haven't ordered yet, go ahead.
00:25:5782 Lafite.
00:25:59Your favorite.
00:26:00I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:26:04Here, have a taste.
00:26:04Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:26:12I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:26:15Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for
00:26:21you to be drinking on the job now.
00:26:25My apologies.
00:26:28Elena.
00:26:28I know how tough it's been for you, and I want you to know that I'm here for you.
00:26:38Always.
00:26:39And that my heart belongs to you.
00:26:45Sorry, Chad.
00:26:46I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:26:50Can we eat?
00:26:52I'm starving.
00:26:53Yeah.
00:26:54Sam.
00:26:54Oh, hey, Sam.
00:27:02Sorry about that.
00:27:04She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:27:06Do you mind bringing out another play without them?
00:27:08He still remembers?
00:27:10I'll see what I can do about that.
00:27:15Wait, didn't he...
00:27:17You two just meet?
00:27:18How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:21How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:23Well, we actually go way back, and I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her
00:27:29preference on mangoes.
00:27:30He's my bodyguard.
00:27:31Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know.
00:27:35I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:27:41Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:27:44What was that tonight?
00:28:10If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:28:15Maybe you're just seeing things the way you want to see them.
00:28:19You ever think about that?
00:28:21How could I forget?
00:28:23Right, you shattered my heart.
00:28:26Come on, Christian.
00:28:27Save it.
00:28:29Just go home.
00:28:30Your funeral preparation's to make anyway.
00:28:31I'm sorry, Elena.
00:28:38I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:28:41I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:28:47Elena!
00:28:49Elena?
00:28:50Dad, you're back.
00:28:52What's going on?
00:29:08Let me see.
00:29:10You're always fine.
00:29:11I'm here with you, okay?
00:29:12You're safe.
00:29:14I had a dream about my dad.
00:29:16One second, he was smiling at me, and then the next.
00:29:30I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:29:34Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:29:37You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:29:49And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:29:53Besides, I'm going to be right here the whole time supporting you.
00:29:56Protecting you.
00:29:59Protecting me?
00:30:02Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:30:06I don't know.
00:30:08Look, a relationship that is in the past.
00:30:13But I would protect you with my life.
00:30:15I'd die for you.
00:30:18I need you to understand that.
00:30:21So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:30:31So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:30:36Stay with me.
00:30:59So you wanted to keep things professional.
00:31:01Stay with me so I can feel safe.
00:31:13Stay with me so I can feel safe.
00:31:31If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:31:39What are we doing here?
00:31:41I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:31:44You know, just in case.
00:31:46Always got to be prepared.
00:31:48What I mean is, in case I die first and you're still in danger,
00:31:52you can fight your way out.
00:31:55First case scenario.
00:32:03What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:32:13No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:32:17Try putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.
00:32:20That one there.
00:32:24And that one there.
00:32:26Push as hard as you can.
00:32:31Oh.
00:32:32Right.
00:32:33Nice.
00:32:37All right.
00:32:38Second scenario.
00:32:41What if somebody
00:32:42had you like this?
00:32:46It's just self-defense training.
00:32:59Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:33:01What's your move?
00:33:05Um, I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:33:10Like, stomping on the foot.
00:33:11Very nice.
00:33:16You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:33:19Okay.
00:33:20Third scenario.
00:33:21You ready?
00:33:23All right.
00:33:26What?
00:33:31Someone's got you like this.
00:33:33Starts choking you.
00:33:36Um...
00:33:37You got to be quick.
00:33:38Like this?
00:33:39Use your hips.
00:33:43What?
00:33:45Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:33:47As hard as you can.
00:33:52Ace, are you okay?
00:33:54Did I hurt your leg?
00:33:55No.
00:33:55What was that sound?
00:34:01It didn't hurt my leg.
00:34:03It's fine.
00:34:03That was a good job.
00:34:05No, you're hurt.
00:34:06Let me...
00:34:07Fine.
00:34:08That was good work, though.
00:34:09Seriously.
00:34:10Ace, the new security equipment just arrived.
00:34:13Can you come check it out?
00:34:14Yeah, sure.
00:34:14Thanks, Josh.
00:34:16Good job today.
00:34:18Seriously.
00:34:25That sound was weird.
00:34:27Ace is hiding something from me.
00:34:35Hi.
00:34:36Alina, right?
00:34:37I'm Josh.
00:34:39I used to serve with Ace in the military, but now we're colleagues.
00:34:43He talks about you a lot.
00:34:44Hi, Josh.
00:34:45I'm sorry.
00:34:48Can I ask?
00:34:49Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:34:55Huh?
00:34:56Leg?
00:34:57No.
00:34:58Not that I know of.
00:34:59You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:35:02Everyone here knows that there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:35:07And that person is you, Alina.
00:35:11You're mistaken.
00:35:12He...
00:35:13He doesn't love me.
00:35:15At all.
00:35:15If you knew him, then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:35:19You know, I might be just an outsider, but I know Ace.
00:35:24Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:35:28Alright.
00:35:29I gotta go check up on Ace and the new equipment.
00:35:31It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:35:32Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:35:37What does that even mean?
00:35:40Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:35:41Everything looks great.
00:35:42Okay.
00:35:46Ace.
00:35:48Alina asked about your leg.
00:35:52What'd you say?
00:35:56What'd you say?
00:35:57Don't worry.
00:35:58I'd say worry.
00:36:00But, honestly, man.
00:36:02I think she still cares about you.
00:36:04Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:36:06I appreciate your input, Josh, but I think I know what's best for Alina, and I...
00:36:10Might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:36:12It's overdue for a replacement.
00:36:14If you keep stalling, you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:36:17You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:36:21I'm still on the job.
00:36:22I can't leave Alina alone.
00:36:23I think that would be very, uh, irresponsible of me.
00:36:26Don't you think, Josh?
00:36:27Man, you're in hell romantic.
00:36:29You know that?
00:36:30Yeah, well, that makes one of us.
00:36:32Why don't you get the hell out of here, all right?
00:36:33Almighty God, in your mercy, turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life and the sorrow of parting into the joy of heaven.
00:36:58Through our Savior, Jesus Christ, who died, rose again, and lives forevermore.
00:37:05Amen.
00:37:10My deepest condolences.
00:37:13May your father rest in peace.
00:37:15If your father knew that your reckless reforms would be tearing his company apart, you would never rest in peace.
00:37:20He was your brother.
00:37:23If you had even a shred of affection for him, you would never say something like that at his funeral.
00:37:28You know, Uncle Houston, I've always wondered.
00:37:30You've been far angrier about the healthcare reforms than my own father's murder.
00:37:35Could it be that you had something to do with his death?
00:37:39That is outrageous slander.
00:37:41How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral?
00:37:55Sorry for your loss.
00:37:56Thank you for your loss.
00:38:29That's enough.
00:38:35This was my father's favorite.
00:38:37I got it for him for his birthday,
00:38:39but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:38:52Right here.
00:38:54Not going anywhere.
00:38:59Good night.
00:39:06Don't go.
00:39:14Can you promise
00:39:16you won't leave me again?
00:39:19Promise.
00:39:21I'll never leave you again.
00:39:23Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:39:27Someone that you can't forget.
00:39:29Is that someone me?
00:39:33Tell me, Ace.
00:39:35Yes.
00:39:42Yes.
00:39:44That someone is you.
00:39:46And it always has been.
00:39:47If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:39:50Look, it's been a long day.
00:39:51I don't think
00:39:52we should talk about it.
00:39:56I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:39:57But you did hurt me.
00:40:00Three years ago,
00:40:01I waited for you to come back and marry me.
00:40:04And then you left me for another woman.
00:40:07You broke my heart.
00:40:09And then you just walked back in my life
00:40:11like nothing happened.
00:40:13No.
00:40:14No.
00:40:14No.
00:40:14No.
00:40:44Oh my God, I drank too much.
00:40:59Can we sleep together?
00:41:02I'm hungry.
00:41:04I made you breakfast.
00:41:06Last night.
00:41:09We...
00:41:10You were drunk.
00:41:12Very drunk.
00:41:13I took care of you.
00:41:13That was it.
00:41:15He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:41:18Jerk.
00:41:21Well,
00:41:21thank you
00:41:23so much
00:41:24for taking such great care of me,
00:41:26Mr. Bodyguard.
00:41:36You've been far angrier
00:41:37about the healthcare reforms
00:41:38than my own father's murder.
00:41:41Haven't you dealt with that bitch, Elena, yet?
00:41:43She's starting to suspect
00:41:44I had something to do with her father's death.
00:41:46She's hard to handle.
00:41:48A bodyguard of hers
00:41:49is practically glued onto her.
00:41:51I can never get her alone
00:41:52and make any real progress.
00:41:53This will not do.
00:41:56She's been lobbying aggressively
00:41:57within the company.
00:41:58Some of the board
00:41:59are starting to support her reforms.
00:42:01If she keeps this up,
00:42:02I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:42:04What do you want me to do?
00:42:08The company's annual gala
00:42:09is this weekend.
00:42:11Elena will undoubtedly use it
00:42:12to rally more support from the board.
00:42:13What you're going to do
00:42:14is invite her to go as your date
00:42:16and then you're going to propose
00:42:17to her publicly.
00:42:19Tell her she'll get more support
00:42:20from the board
00:42:20if she's married with a husband.
00:42:22We can use the engagement
00:42:23to shift public focus
00:42:24away from her form.
00:42:27Kill two birds of one stone.
00:42:28I like that.
00:42:28Exactly.
00:42:29The media will be there
00:42:30and she won't reject you
00:42:31in front of everyone.
00:42:32There's no way she risks
00:42:33taking the company's
00:42:34stock prices again.
00:42:40Elena.
00:42:42I was hoping I would be able
00:42:43to escort you
00:42:44to the company dinner
00:42:45this weekend.
00:42:48I told you
00:42:49Mr. Vegas would be chasing
00:42:50this person.
00:42:51He's bad for ages.
00:42:52His persistence
00:42:52is kind of impressive.
00:42:58Chad, I...
00:43:04Elena, trust me.
00:43:06I can help you
00:43:06win over a couple more
00:43:07board members
00:43:08for the health care
00:43:08reform plan.
00:43:14Yeah.
00:43:15Yes, I would love
00:43:16to go to dinner.
00:43:17Great.
00:43:18See you later.
00:43:18Mm-hmm.
00:43:28How do I look?
00:43:40You look beautiful.
00:43:42You know, I don't know
00:43:43if you have to dress
00:43:44so formally.
00:43:46What, are you jealous?
00:43:49I just don't think
00:43:50that that guy
00:43:51deserves
00:43:52all of this.
00:43:56Oh, speak of the double.
00:44:03Beautiful.
00:44:05Elena, we should get going.
00:44:06We're gonna be late.
00:44:07And, uh, Ace,
00:44:10remember your place.
00:44:11Okay, there, sport?
00:44:12You're the bodyguard.
00:44:15So make sure you keep
00:44:16a professional distance
00:44:17between you
00:44:18and your employer, yeah?
00:44:19Yeah.
00:44:19Yeah.
00:44:26Elena's health care
00:44:34reform plan
00:44:35might have some
00:44:35short-term losses,
00:44:37but I believe
00:44:38the long-term benefits
00:44:39far outweigh
00:44:40the small drawbacks.
00:44:43Forget about that
00:44:44for a moment.
00:44:45What we're really
00:44:46curious about
00:44:47is how far
00:44:47you two have gotten.
00:44:50Given the company's
00:44:51current PR crisis,
00:44:53announcing a wedding
00:44:53might actually help
00:44:55repair its image.
00:44:56Elena,
00:44:57Chad seems like
00:44:58an excellent match.
00:45:00Oh, um,
00:45:01Mr. and Mrs. Hans,
00:45:02you're mistaken.
00:45:04Chad and I are...
00:45:04Thank you for your blessing,
00:45:05and we'll seriously
00:45:06consider it.
00:45:11Our company
00:45:12has faced
00:45:13challenges recently,
00:45:15but
00:45:15on this
00:45:17special night,
00:45:18our new CEO,
00:45:20Ms. Elena Pearson,
00:45:21would like to say
00:45:22a few words.
00:45:26before Ms. Pearson
00:45:28says anything,
00:45:29I have a surprise for her.
00:45:34I have a surprise for her.
00:45:36Elena,
00:45:37I have loved you
00:45:37for so long.
00:45:38will you marry me?
00:45:54Marry him!
00:45:55Marry him!
00:45:57Marry him!
00:45:58Marry him!
00:45:59Marry him! Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!
00:46:05Chad, stand up. What are you doing?
00:46:07I don't know.
00:46:09Come on, let's go. We're leaving.
00:46:29What the hell are you doing? Storming out like that in front of all those guests. You've realized how bad you're making the company's image look.
00:46:35Oh, really? So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image? That's ridiculous.
00:46:40Who I marry is none of your business. We're over, Ace. You're just my bodyguard. You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:46:47You don't mean that. You don't love that guy. You barely fucking know him.
00:46:52Who I love is none of your concern.
00:46:54Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins, when you've pushed me away over and over again.
00:47:01Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal, you would have nothing to do with it and you couldn't stop me.
00:47:15Elena! Elena, why are you?
00:47:20Elena, are you in there?
00:47:24Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:47:31Tell him you're busy. Make him leave.
00:47:33I'll be out in a minute.
00:47:58Are you sure you're okay?
00:47:59Okay.
00:47:59Okay.
00:48:03Yeah, I'm fine. Just...
00:48:05Just go.
00:48:22Ace, you're a bastard.
00:48:25Okay.
00:48:25I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:48:28Oh, and you do?
00:48:29You abandoned me. We were supposed to get married.
00:48:34You have no right to say that to me.
00:48:37What do you think's going on here?
00:48:39Do you think that I don't love you? I mean, do you have any fucking idea...
00:48:43Elena!
00:48:45Who's in there with you?
00:48:46How much what? What are you saying?
00:48:50How much what? What are you saying?
00:48:53Elena!
00:48:53What do you think?
00:48:56What are you two doing in here?
00:49:02I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:49:05You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:49:09Proposing in front of everyone? What? Have you lost your mind?
00:49:12Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long, and you've never rejected me.
00:49:17So that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:49:20What?
00:49:21I haven't said anything. You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:49:25What's the difference? Hmm?
00:49:27Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.
00:49:30Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.
00:49:33It's only natural for us to meet again.
00:49:35Hey, don't step closer.
00:49:37And who the hell are you?
00:49:39You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:49:42Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:49:44Acting all on your high horse, but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:49:49Bravo! Bravo! You two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
00:50:01Hey, this must be nice, huh?
00:50:02Living with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:50:05Shut the fuck up.
00:50:06Some average struck a nerve?
00:50:08Elena, you have the audacity to accuse me of damaging the company?
00:50:15Take a look in the mirror.
00:50:15You're the CEO, sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:50:19You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.
00:50:25You see that girl right there?
00:50:27There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:50:30You're not going to disrespect her.
00:50:31You show face around here again, I'm going to fucking kill her.
00:50:33You understand?
00:50:34Do you understand?
00:50:35Do you understand?
00:50:35You... you left me?
00:50:51Did you mean what you said?
00:50:54Nace, just tell me the truth.
00:50:57That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:50:59No, Elena.
00:51:03I can't be with you.
00:51:04I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:51:07I'm not whole.
00:51:08I'll never be enough for you.
00:51:09That was just impulsive.
00:51:11I shouldn't have said that.
00:51:11I'm sorry.
00:51:13You're lying.
00:51:15You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:51:18You'd risk your life for me.
00:51:20You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:51:22That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
00:51:25That is something more, and you know it.
00:51:27Moments ago, right here, you said that you love me more than anyone else in the world.
00:51:33It's...
00:51:34Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:51:38Elena, look.
00:51:44Look.
00:51:46I'm here to guard you.
00:51:48I'm your bodyguard.
00:51:49I shouldn't have crossed the line, and I'm sorry.
00:51:54Now, let's go.
00:51:57Stay away from me.
00:51:59Elena.
00:52:02I'm sorry, Elena.
00:52:04I can't hold you back.
00:52:05You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:52:13Can't handle one woman?
00:52:16Absolutely useless.
00:52:17That bitch has been screwing her bodyguard the whole damn time.
00:52:19What do you want me to do?
00:52:21That pathetic freaking loser.
00:52:25I'm going to kill him.
00:52:27It's only a matter of time.
00:52:29If that's the case, there's only one option left.
00:52:33We want Pearson Group.
00:52:35We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:52:37Just like we did her father.
00:52:39You think you can fix everything with these little tricks?
00:52:55It won't work, Ace.
00:52:56It's your favorite.
00:52:58French toast.
00:53:00Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:53:02I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.
00:53:08Oliver, what are you...
00:53:23What are you doing here?
00:53:24This is a signed first edition.
00:53:30Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that down for you.
00:53:36And while you were at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:53:43Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
00:53:57I just want you to be happy.
00:53:59Elena, whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:54:04You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
00:54:07But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
00:54:14It wasn't your fault.
00:54:15None of it was.
00:54:18It was mine.
00:54:20Don't think you've won me over.
00:54:21I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:25Don't think you've won me over.
00:54:27I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:54:30Go make me a coffee.
00:54:32I have a meeting soon.
00:54:34Okay.
00:54:37Ms. Pearson, if I may say, Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
00:54:46And from the way you look at him, it's clear you feel the same way.
00:54:51So why not just be together?
00:54:54Oliver, you don't understand.
00:54:56Every time I take a step forward, he takes two steps back.
00:55:00It's not that simple.
00:55:02Well, then maybe you should take the lead.
00:55:05Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:55:10Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?
00:55:18Maybe.
00:55:19Maybe you should take the lead.
00:55:34The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle, and he loved it.
00:55:40Ace, stay here.
00:55:40I have a surprise for you.
00:55:41All right, and your order will be delivered tonight.
00:55:49Thank you so much.
00:55:50Thank you for shopping with us, Ms. Pearson.
00:56:21What the fuck?
00:56:47Josh, Josh, Melinda's been taking.
00:56:50Activate the tracking system.
00:56:51Get the cops involved.
00:56:53I'll go on after her.
00:57:06Who are you?
00:57:08Look at this.
00:57:08It's about the company's health care reforms that I promised you.
00:57:11I'm proposing a new plan.
00:57:13It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
00:57:15Shut your mouth.
00:57:18This isn't about health care.
00:57:19You got it all wrong.
00:57:21What?
00:57:28My uncle hired you?
00:57:30He paid you to kill my dad?
00:57:32Ding, ding, ding.
00:57:33It took you long enough to figure out.
00:57:35Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:57:38Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head!
00:57:46Okay, I'll sign.
00:57:48But you have to let me go after.
00:57:50Good.
00:57:51Sign it.
00:57:52Then you're free to go.
00:57:55He's lying.
00:57:56As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
00:57:58Think, Elena.
00:57:59Think.
00:57:59Hurry up.
00:58:02Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
00:58:06Okay?
00:58:08Shit.
00:58:09Shit.
00:58:10Shit.
00:58:18No.
00:58:18I don't want to die.
00:58:20Please, Ace, save me.
00:58:21Now that this job is completed, I can never have to worry about money ever again.
00:58:31Good job.
00:58:32Drop your weapon or I'll blow her brains out.
00:58:54Ace, don't do it.
00:58:56Drop your weapon!
00:58:57Good job.
00:59:04Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:59:07Go ahead.
00:59:21No.
00:59:22No.
00:59:23Are you crazy?
00:59:34He had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after him.
00:59:38I thought I lost you.
00:59:39It's going to be okay.
00:59:42I knew exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.
00:59:46It's over.
00:59:51No.
00:59:51Who sent you?
01:00:01Okay, just get me a medic.
01:00:02I don't want to die.
01:00:03You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers.
01:00:06So talk.
01:00:08It's Houston.
01:00:11He paid me to kill Carter.
01:00:13The kid I'm a leader.
01:00:15There's proof.
01:00:16Where?
01:00:16My left jacket pocket.
01:00:17Just take it.
01:00:19Tell that idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.
01:00:28Why would he murder his own brother?
01:00:34My father's been nothing but kind to him.
01:00:42It comes around the way.
01:00:44Everything's fine.
01:00:45Because I don't understand.
01:00:47Houston was the company's second largest shareholder.
01:00:50What more could he possibly want?
01:00:52Why would he murder my father?
01:00:56And in front of me too.
01:00:58I'm going to have to live with that image scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life.
01:01:03Some people just want more.
01:01:06And it's never enough.
01:01:07They're just greedy and they're monsters and you never have to think about them again.
01:01:09Okay?
01:01:10It's over.
01:01:12It's over.
01:01:17I'm going to go.
01:01:19Hey.
01:01:20Let's go.
01:01:20Okay.
01:01:20Yes.
01:01:22Okay.
01:01:22Okay.
01:01:22Please pull over.
01:01:33What's wrong?
01:01:35Your arm.
01:01:36It's bleeding.
01:01:37Didn't you notice?
01:01:38No, I didn't notice.
01:01:39It must have happened during the fight.
01:01:41You're unbelievable.
01:01:44It's fine.
01:01:46Just pull over right up there.
01:01:48It's fine.
01:01:48No, I'll take care of it.
01:01:49We'll stop for a bit.
01:01:50Please, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
01:02:07Why not?
01:02:07Come on.
01:02:08Tell me the truth or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't deal with.
01:02:12Hey, look, I screwed up, but that's in the past.
01:02:23I just want to move forward, okay?
01:02:26Please be honest with me.
01:02:27Do you still love me?
01:02:29Come on, don't try and dodge the question.
01:02:32Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't.
01:02:35You charged right in to save me.
01:02:37If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
01:02:44I love you.
01:02:46Always have.
01:02:46Never stopped.
01:02:47Not even for a second.
01:02:49I believe you this time.
01:02:52Let's start fresh.
01:02:53I love you, Elena.
01:02:55I've always loved you.
01:02:57Come here.
01:03:05Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
01:03:08I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.
01:03:12Today we're here to talk about my health care reform strategy.
01:03:22You can't even handle your personal life.
01:03:26The news came out, and this company's stock prices fell another five points.
01:03:30And yet you still think you can push through reforms.
01:03:33I'm the first to object.
01:03:35Elena, do you know how the other health care companies are mocking us?
01:03:39They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.
01:03:46Uncle Houston, if my scandals are causing such problems for the company, how do you plan to account for the damages that your actions have caused?
01:03:56Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:04:03Like hiring someone to kill my father.
01:04:09That's slander.
01:04:11Your father was killed by an angry citizen who is dissatisfied with the current health care system.
01:04:16What does that have to do with me?
01:04:21Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson, and the five million dollars is yours.
01:04:25I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson, and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
01:04:42I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.
01:04:49You murdered my father and tried to kill me.
01:04:52You need to pay for your crimes.
01:04:55You need to pay for your crimes.
01:04:56Who do you think you are?
01:04:58Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
01:05:01I gave everything to this company.
01:05:04Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson, inherit this company?
01:05:09What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?
01:05:11This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology that increased our claim denial rate to 40%, the highest in the industry.
01:05:21And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this.
01:05:25He deserved to die.
01:05:27Every accomplishment you've made has been riding off the coattails of struggling people and my father's life.
01:05:34And you show no remorse for them.
01:05:37You're a monster.
01:05:40Double.
01:05:40Raise your hands.
01:05:48Houston Pearson, you're on arrest for first-degree murder.
01:06:10Now, does anyone else have anything to say?
01:06:23Great.
01:06:24All those in favor of implementing my healthcare reform strategy, raise your hand.
01:06:30Very well.
01:06:50It seems the majority has voted yes.
01:06:52I declare that the healthcare reform plan, with the slogan, deliver, declare, and disclose, has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.
01:07:03Immediately.
01:07:04Cheers.
01:07:04Cheers.
01:07:05Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.
01:07:13Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.
01:07:27Bring it in, guys.
01:07:28Congrats, you two.
01:07:29Congrats, you two.
01:07:32Looks like you guys are officially back together.
01:07:35Should I be planning your reunion party?
01:07:37Yeah, that's enough.
01:07:38That's enough.
01:07:38Oh, Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.
01:07:44Oh.
01:07:45Thank you so much, guys.
01:07:49If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my healthcare reform plan would have passed.
01:07:55Especially you, Ace.
01:07:58I don't know what I would have done without you.
01:08:02Well, I'll, um, always be your rama.
01:08:06Oh, oh, oh.
01:08:08Cheers.
01:08:09Cheers.
01:08:09Heck yeah.
01:08:22Hey.
01:08:23Hey.
01:08:25Were you looking for me?
01:08:27Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal and he's trying to make everyone join him.
01:08:33Oliver's keeping me an eye on him.
01:08:36I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.
01:08:39I guess I have to reserve all my energy for you.
01:08:43Mr. Atkins, your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.
01:08:52What's next on your agenda?
01:08:54I have a few ideas.
01:08:55What's next on your agenda?
01:09:11What's wrong?
01:09:31What's wrong?
01:09:33Nothing. Just, um...
01:09:36I don't know if we're in the right...
01:09:41place, or if it's the right time.
01:09:44What?
01:09:46After everything we've been through, Ace, I thought we were past this.
01:09:49I know, but I, uh...
01:09:51But what?
01:09:56I just, uh, I don't think we should rush into this.
01:09:59I think we should think this through, okay?
01:10:01You're a jerk.
01:10:08Fuck.
01:10:08God, I'm an asshole.
01:10:12Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:10:13I don't know if he's...
01:10:16I don't know if he's...
01:10:18He's...
01:10:20He's...
01:10:26Ace! Ace!
01:10:44It's okay.
01:10:45Ace!
01:10:46It's okay. He's dead.
01:10:47It's over.
01:10:56Oh, my God! Miss Pearson! I'm going to call an ambulance!
01:11:08Is he going to be okay, doctor?
01:11:17Doc?
01:11:20Don't tell Elena about it.
01:11:24My prosthetic leg.
01:11:27All right. I respect your wishes.
01:11:33Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:11:37His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:11:42Thank you, doctor.
01:11:44By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:11:48Okay. I'll go there now, then.
01:11:49Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:11:57Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:11:59According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives, has been involved in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.
01:12:13The killer was hired by him.
01:12:15What? Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:12:18Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:12:21You can rest assured that, with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.
01:12:27You're safe.
01:12:30Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:12:35You can rest.
01:12:39I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:12:44Ace?
01:12:44Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete, and you're no longer in danger, so it's time for me to leave.
01:13:03I just wanted to say goodbye, and I wish you all the best.
01:13:07Ace.
01:13:08What the hell?
01:13:10You're leaving me again?
01:13:12I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:13:14It's her.
01:13:40The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:13:43So you're a physical therapist?
01:13:46That's your daughter and husband?
01:13:48Yes.
01:13:50I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:13:53You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
01:13:57This involves Ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:14:02But Alina, I assure you, Ace did not betray you.
01:14:05Then why?
01:14:07Then why?
01:14:08Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?
01:14:12I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
01:14:15But I think that, deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:14:22He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:14:31Alina, what are you doing there?
01:14:33Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital, and he just left me a note.
01:14:36Do you know where he is?
01:14:38What?
01:14:40Does he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:14:44What do you mean, prosthetic leg?
01:14:51Oh, man.
01:14:53I wasn't supposed to say that.
01:14:54Josh, what do you mean, prosthetic?
01:14:57All right.
01:14:59Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:15:03Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.
01:15:08So, he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
01:15:11Later, after he got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.
01:15:17He thought a great girl like you deserved better.
01:15:20So, he avoided you at critical moments.
01:15:25Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:15:28He's getting his new prosthetic leg fit right now.
01:15:30Go find him, Alina.
01:15:32Ace, you jerk.
01:15:34How could you keep something so important from me?
01:15:37This time, I won't let you go.
01:15:38I won't let you walk away again.
01:15:41Fortunately, you came in time.
01:15:44The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
01:15:47With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:15:50This one is newly made for you.
01:15:52Try it.
01:15:53Thanks.
01:15:53Thanks.
01:15:54Thanks.
01:15:55Thanks.
01:15:55Thanks.
01:16:05Bye.
01:16:05Bye.
01:16:05Bye.
01:16:07This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:16:31This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:16:34What are you doing here?
01:16:35You shouldn't be here.
01:16:36You need to leave.
01:16:40This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:16:44Elena, you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
01:16:48I need you to leave right now.
01:16:49Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:16:52Do you really think that little of me?
01:16:55That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
01:16:58How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena?
01:16:59I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:17:07Huh?
01:17:08I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.
01:17:12I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:17:13I mean, just fucking look at me, Elena.
01:17:15I can't even stand up straight.
01:17:16But I love you.
01:17:20Ace, can't you see?
01:17:21No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you.
01:17:27Always.
01:17:32Elena, come on, why?
01:17:34Just stop pushing me away.
01:17:38Ace Atkins, you listen to me right now.
01:17:43You have left me so many times.
01:17:47You can't keep running from me.
01:17:50I am here to stay.
01:17:53Got it?
01:17:54I love you so much.
01:17:56I'm sorry.
01:17:57I'm sorry.
01:17:57Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:18:17Come on, don't try and be tough.
01:18:19No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:18:23So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
01:18:27I'm disabled and I might become a burden to you when we're older.
01:18:32Have you thought about that?
01:18:33If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.
01:18:41I love Ace Atkins.
01:18:43The person, not the leg.
01:18:46So what if you're missing a leg?
01:18:47I will love you all the same.
01:18:49Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:18:54No.
01:18:55No, of course not.
01:18:57I'll always be by your side.
01:19:00Then let me do the same.
01:19:01I am choosing you, okay?
01:19:08Got it.
01:19:22Miss Pearson.
01:19:24Your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life.
01:19:31Miss Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success, making you the most
01:19:36popular CEO in the U.S.
01:19:38What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:19:42I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great planning,
01:19:48but also because of my fiancé, Ace Atkins.
01:19:53His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
