00:00:00Peter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Health Care, was fatally shot by a gunman on 5th Avenue.
00:00:05Will Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, be the next target?
00:00:12Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:00:17I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:00:21I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:00:24It's over. I got myself a new girl.
00:00:27I hate you, he's out of kids!
00:00:30You broke my heart. Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:00:36Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:00:43Elena, I can't be with you. I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:00:48We want Pearson Group. We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:00:52Please, Ace, save me!
00:01:00Yes!
00:01:17It's worth bearing most down?
00:01:17Yes!
00:01:18Yes!
00:01:18Yes!
00:01:19Your deployment's tomorrow.
00:01:23I'm still worried.
00:01:25Don't worry.
00:01:26I'm going to be back.
00:01:27I'm going to be safe and sound.
00:01:28The first thing we're going to do is get married.
00:01:30I'll be waiting.
00:01:48Oh, my God.
00:01:54Oh, my God.
00:01:56It's so good to see you.
00:01:57It's so good to see you.
00:01:59I miss you a lot.
00:02:01We can't wait to go home together.
00:02:02Yeah.
00:02:03What are you having for dinner?
00:02:04I'm so sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace?
00:02:07He was supposed to come out with you.
00:02:09Ace?
00:02:10He's been back for a month.
00:02:11He didn't tell you.
00:02:13What?
00:02:16Call him up.
00:02:17You'll see.
00:02:19Let's go.
00:02:19Ace came back a month ago, but he hasn't been answering my calls.
00:02:32Ace, open up.
00:02:33I know you're in there.
00:02:35Ace!
00:02:37Ace!
00:02:37Ace!
00:02:37Ace!
00:02:49Ace, what are you doing?
00:02:57Who is that woman?
00:03:02Ace, open the door!
00:03:05Who the hell are you, and what do you want with Ace?
00:03:08I need to see him.
00:03:15Ace!
00:03:15Ace!
00:03:17Explain!
00:03:18Look, I don't know what you want me to say.
00:03:19I...
00:03:20It's over.
00:03:23I got myself a new girl.
00:03:25It's time for you to move on.
00:03:27What do you mean it's over?
00:03:29I waited for you for three years.
00:03:31You said we were going to get married when you came back,
00:03:33and now you're just telling me to move on?
00:03:35I was just fooling around that whole time.
00:03:37I didn't mean any of it.
00:03:39Besides, I was never in love with you like I am with Sally.
00:03:42She's the one, all right?
00:03:43It's not you.
00:03:44I don't believe you.
00:03:46No, I demand that you come out here and talk to me face to face.
00:03:50You owe me that at least.
00:03:51That's the problem with you, isn't it?
00:03:53You're always demanding this, demanding that.
00:03:55If Elena's not happy, nobody's happy.
00:03:56You're a spoiled rich heiress,
00:03:58and no guy wants a woman like that.
00:04:01Can't you understand that?
00:04:03Just fuck off.
00:04:05My dad was right about you.
00:04:09I never should have fallen for you.
00:04:11I hate Ace Atkins!
00:04:14Did you really have to be so cruel?
00:04:25I mean, I feel like you probably could have told her the truth.
00:04:27She's not going to leave you.
00:04:28That's what I'm afraid of.
00:04:40I love her.
00:04:43She's got to let her go.
00:04:48Let's get you into that wheelchair.
00:04:49I want you to end things with Elena.
00:05:12The engagement is off.
00:05:14Take this money as your compensation.
00:05:15Mr. Pearson, I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you.
00:05:23Quite frankly, I have no interest in your money.
00:05:26All I need is a chance to talk to Elena.
00:05:28That's all I'm asking for.
00:05:28What can you possibly do for Elena when you can't even stand on your own?
00:05:33All you'll do is break her heart.
00:05:35I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.
00:05:39If you really love her, leave her alone.
00:05:41Thanks for doing this, Sally.
00:06:09I really appreciate it.
00:06:10We'll start physical therapy in 10 minutes.
00:06:14I'll go get the equipment.
00:06:19I love you, Elena.
00:06:21Forget about me.
00:06:23You'll find happiness again.
00:06:24Early this morning, Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare, was fatally shot by a gunman on 5th Avenue.
00:06:37Police suspect the attack may be related to the wave of insurance policy changes that Pearson Healthcare is preparing to implement.
00:06:43For now, the gunman remains at large, while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, is set to take over as CEO.
00:06:49Clean that up.
00:07:02Clean that up.
00:07:02Good morning, gentlemen.
00:07:10I've called this emergency meeting to make an important announcement.
00:07:13I will be continuing to advance healthcare reform.
00:07:16The goal is to ensure all patients receive fair insurance coverage and to make healthcare more affordable for everyone.
00:07:26What the hell with your shit plan?
00:07:33You're giving away our profits to these poor people.
00:07:36I reject it.
00:07:37Uncle Houston, poor healthcare policies have led to my father's death.
00:07:41My plans are implemented to correct these wrongs.
00:07:44No matter what you say, I will never, ever change my mind.
00:07:50Really?
00:07:51You think you can control the entire group?
00:07:55I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:07:57I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:08:27I'm not the only one against this bullshit, but I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.
00:08:42Looks like you all need some training still.
00:08:44We've got a long way to go.
00:08:48Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform, or will she be next on the Assassins' List?
00:08:54Hey Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:08:57Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:09:00You could totally assign someone else to handle Elena's case.
00:09:03So you heard the news too, huh?
00:09:05I don't think anyone's gonna protect her like I would, Josh.
00:09:09I'll handle it.
00:09:19Elena, today you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:09:25We will vote to dismiss you as CEO. Simple as that.
00:09:29Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:09:43Have you lost your mind? Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:09:46No one here will testify against me. Just sign the damn paper.
00:09:50Are you all gonna let him do this?
00:09:52Elena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those low-lifes.
00:09:56Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:09:58Let's go, Russ. Come on.
00:10:05Get your hands off of her.
00:10:07Get your hands off of her.
00:10:22No way. That voice. It can't be him.
00:10:26It can't be him.
00:10:28It can't be him.
00:10:30It can't be him.
00:10:31It can't be him.
00:10:40Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:10:43I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:10:47It's been three years.
00:10:49I've missed you, Elena.
00:10:51You're my what?
00:10:52Jesus, Elena.
00:10:53Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:10:56Stupid or something?
00:10:57You insult my boss again.
00:11:01You're gonna be the one that needs some fucking healthcare.
00:11:04Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:11:12Leave or you're fired.
00:11:14I don't give a shit you're my uncle.
00:11:16There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena.
00:11:19And that's to get rid of them.
00:11:20Just like I got rid of your father.
00:11:27What are you doing here?
00:11:29No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.
00:11:33Oh, Miss Pearson.
00:11:35Mr. Atkins.
00:11:37I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:11:39Miss, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought after bodyguard in America.
00:11:46Now, as for the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:11:56No.
00:11:59I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:12:02I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:12:04Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.
00:12:08Anyone but him.
00:12:09Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:12:12With him around, your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:12:18Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute?
00:12:19I need to talk to him.
00:12:21Yes, ma'am.
00:12:25Ace, what are you doing here?
00:12:27I was just making sure that you're safe.
00:12:29Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now and, well,
00:12:33I was worried about you.
00:12:37We broke up three years ago.
00:12:38You cheated on me.
00:12:39You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:12:42The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:12:47The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:12:51No, go.
00:12:52I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:12:58Are you afraid you're gonna fall in love with me again?
00:13:03Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:13:05You're delusional.
00:13:07Oh, wait, no.
00:13:10The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.
00:13:15Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:13:20Let go.
00:13:21Take me home.
00:13:22Elena.
00:13:23You broke my heart.
00:13:24Now you come back into my life like it's nothing.
00:13:27That's odd.
00:13:28I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:13:29That's odd.
00:13:30I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:13:35Someone broke in.
00:13:37The killer?
00:13:38asshole you broke my heart now you come back into my life like it's nothing

00:17:34bodyguard does. The contract clearly states that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7
00:17:42to ensure your safety. Oliver, it's not just about the contract. I can't... I can't let
00:17:50my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard. You must understand. You might very well be
00:17:58the next target. If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter
00:18:05of resignation. Okay, fine. Oliver, you win. Brilliant. Mr. Atkins, from here on out,
00:18:16Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:18:24I would take a bullet for her.
00:18:28Um, you're the first door on the left. You can stay there.
00:18:42I'll wait a minute.
00:18:43Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room. We broke up three years ago, and that's
00:18:48that. Now, if you're going to be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries. So, here's
00:18:55how...
00:19:02I said you never...
00:19:07Claire, safe to sleep.
00:19:09Great. Thanks. I'm going to go to bed now.
00:19:12Shit.
00:19:25Shit.
00:19:39Sorry, I thought you were in danger.
00:19:50Just hand me that towel.
00:19:52It's not like I haven't seen you before.
00:20:16Be professional. I'm still your boss, remember?
00:20:22Yes, ma'am.
00:20:47You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:20:49And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:20:53Yes, I have some scar cream for you.
00:20:57Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:20:59Hey, what's up?
00:21:03Hey.
00:21:05Yes, I have some scar cream for you.
00:21:10Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:21:17Hey, what's up?
00:21:19Hey.
00:21:20Just have something for the scars. I can put it on.
00:21:27I'm surprised that you still want to show this much care for me still.
00:21:43Get out for yourself.
00:21:45I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:21:47Elena, calm yourself. He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:21:51Okay.
00:21:52Hold on.
00:21:53Okay.
00:21:54Hold on.
00:21:55Okay.
00:21:56Okay, what is with you and this blanket?
00:21:57I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:21:58I think it's fine.
00:21:59I'm just sitting.
00:22:00So I sit.
00:22:01Okay, what is with you and this blanket?
00:22:02I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:22:03I think it's fine.
00:22:04I'm just sitting.
00:22:05So I sit.
00:22:06I call BS.
00:22:07Let me see it.
00:22:08I call BS.
00:22:09Let me see it.
00:22:22I call BS.
00:22:23I call BS.
00:22:24I call BS.
00:22:25I call BS.
00:22:26I call BS.
00:22:27I call BS.
00:22:28I call BS.
00:22:29I call BS.
00:22:30I call BS.
00:22:36I call BS.
00:22:37What if I'm hiding something under there?
00:22:38Maybe I'm hiding from the owner to see it.
00:22:51You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:22:53You're my bodyguard.
00:22:54We should keep things professional.
00:22:57Goodnight, boys.
00:22:59Good night for you.
00:23:02Good night.
00:23:06You're right, Elena.
00:23:08I'm just your bodyguard.
00:23:20Elena, I want you to put this on.
00:23:22It's lightweight.
00:23:24You won't even feel it.
00:23:25I'm not wearing that.
00:23:27You can either do it yourself,
00:23:28or it could strip your clothes off for you.
00:23:31And I can do it.
00:23:32And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:23:34Look, I can do it myself.
00:23:43May I?
00:23:44I've got it.
00:23:58Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:24:07Too excited.
00:24:08No.
00:24:11Okay.
00:24:11I have to go.
00:24:13I'm late for work.
00:24:15Yes, ma'am.
00:24:16I'm assuming that assassination didn't go as planned.
00:24:23That idiot calls himself a hitman.
00:24:25He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:24:28Chad, I'm leaving this to you.
00:24:31Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb,
00:24:34and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:24:36Consider it done.
00:24:37Jesus, Chad.
00:24:44How many times have I told you to knock?
00:24:47Why do you run?
00:24:49You owe me dinner, remember?
00:24:51I remember.
00:24:52But I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral,
00:24:56so can we take a brain check?
00:24:57Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:25:00You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:25:02This is how people get burned down.
00:25:04You need to take some time off to relax.
00:25:14Yeah.
00:25:16You know what?
00:25:16Let's do dinner.
00:25:22Great.
00:25:34Sir, this is a table for two.
00:25:41Why don't you go sit over there?
00:25:42I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:26:05I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times,
00:26:08but thanks for checking in.
00:26:09Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:26:21You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:26:22Go ahead.
00:26:2882 Lafite.
00:26:30Your favorite.
00:26:31I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:26:34Here, have a taste.
00:26:35Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:26:42I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:26:45Well, Mr. Atkins,
00:26:48seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard,
00:26:50I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:26:55My apologies.
00:26:58Elena.
00:26:59I know how tough it's been for you,
00:27:04and I want you to know that I'm here for you.
00:27:08Always.
00:27:10And that my heart belongs to you.
00:27:14Sorry, Chad.
00:27:16I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:27:19Oh.
00:27:21Can we eat?
00:27:22I'm starving.
00:27:24Yeah.
00:27:25Sam.
00:27:27The mango self.
00:27:29Oh, hey, Sam.
00:27:33Sorry about that.
00:27:34She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:27:36Do you mind bringing out another plate without him?
00:27:39He still remembers?
00:27:40I'll see what I can do about that.
00:27:42Wait, didn't he...
00:27:47You two just meet?
00:27:48How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:52How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:27:56Well, we actually go way back.
00:27:58And I know a hell of a lot more about her
00:28:00than just her preference of mangoes.
00:28:01He's my bodyguard.
00:28:02Of course, Oliver told him everything
00:28:04that he needed to know.
00:28:06I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:28:07Okay, something's definitely going on
00:28:13with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:28:15What was that tonight?
00:28:42If I didn't know any better,
00:28:44I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:28:46Maybe you're just seeing things
00:28:47the way you want to see them.
00:28:50You ever think about that?
00:28:52How could I forget?
00:28:54Right, you shattered my heart.
00:28:58Save it.
00:29:00Just go home.
00:29:01Your funeral preparation's to make anyway.
00:29:07I'm sorry, Elena.
00:29:09I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:29:12I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:29:14Elena.
00:29:21Elena?
00:29:21Dad, you're back.
00:29:35Dad!
00:29:38What's going on?
00:29:38Please?
00:29:39Please.
00:29:40It's fine.
00:29:42I'm here with you, okay?
00:29:43You're safe.
00:29:45I had a dream about my dad.
00:29:49One second he was smiling at me
00:29:52and then the next.
00:29:53I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:30:03Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:30:09Yes.
00:30:09You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:30:14And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:30:24Besides, I'm going to be right here the whole time supporting you, protecting you.
00:30:30Protecting me?
00:30:31Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:30:39A relationship that is in the past.
00:30:44But I would protect you with my life.
00:30:47I'd die for you.
00:30:49I need you to understand that.
00:30:50So you would die for me, but you won't love me.
00:31:07So you would die for me, but you won't love me.
00:31:12Stay with me.
00:31:30I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:31:35You're my bodyguard.
00:31:37And I'm scared.
00:31:38Stay with me, so I can feel safe.
00:32:02If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:32:08What are we doing here?
00:32:13I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:32:16You know, just in case.
00:32:18Always got to be prepared.
00:32:20What I mean is, in case I die first and you're still in danger, you can fight your way out.
00:32:27First-case scenario.
00:32:34What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:32:42Um...
00:32:43No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.
00:32:49Try putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.
00:32:54Dug one there.
00:32:57And down there.
00:32:58Push as hard as you can.
00:32:59All right.
00:33:05Nice.
00:33:09All right.
00:33:10Second scenario.
00:33:13What if somebody...
00:33:15Had you like this?
00:33:22What if somebody...
00:33:24Had you like this?
00:33:27It's just self-defense training.
00:33:31Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:33:34What's your move?
00:33:37Um...
00:33:38I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:33:42Like...
00:33:43Stomping on a...
00:33:44Very nice.
00:33:48You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:33:51Okay.
00:33:52Third scenario.
00:33:54You ready?
00:33:54All right.
00:33:58What?
00:34:03Someone's got you like this.
00:34:06Starts choking you.
00:34:08Um...
00:34:09You gotta be quick.
00:34:10Like this?
00:34:14Use your hips.
00:34:16What?
00:34:17Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:34:19As hard as you can.
00:34:20Uh...
00:34:22Ace, are you okay?
00:34:26Did I hurt your leg?
00:34:27No.
00:34:28What was that sound?
00:34:33This didn't hurt my leg.
00:34:35It's fine.
00:34:36That was a good job.
00:34:37No, you're hurt.
00:34:39Let me...
00:34:40Fine.
00:34:40That was good work, though.
00:34:41Seriously.
00:34:43Ace,
00:34:43the new security equipment justified.
00:34:45Can you come check it out?
00:34:46Yeah, sure.
00:34:47Thanks, Josh.
00:34:47Good job today.
00:34:51Seriously.
00:34:57That sound was weird.
00:35:04Ace is hiding something from me.
00:35:07Hi.
00:35:09Alina, right?
00:35:10I'm Josh.
00:35:11I used to serve with Ace in the military,
00:35:14but now we're colleagues.
00:35:15He talks about you a lot.
00:35:16Hi, Josh.
00:35:19I'm sorry.
00:35:20Can I ask...
00:35:21Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:35:28Huh?
00:35:29Leg?
00:35:29No.
00:35:31Not that I know of.
00:35:32You know,
00:35:33Ace has been single for years now.
00:35:35Everyone here knows that
00:35:37there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:35:40And that person is you, Alina.
00:35:42You're mistaken.
00:35:45He...
00:35:46He doesn't love me.
00:35:48At all.
00:35:48If you knew him,
00:35:49then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:35:52You know,
00:35:53I might be just an outsider,
00:35:55but
00:35:55I know Ace.
00:35:57Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:36:01All right.
00:36:02I gotta go check up on Ace
00:36:03and the new equipment.
00:36:04It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:36:05Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:36:10What does that even mean?
00:36:13Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:36:14Everything looks great.
00:36:15Okay.
00:36:19Ace.
00:36:21Alina, I asked to cut your leg.
00:36:22What'd you say?
00:36:29What'd you say?
00:36:30Don't worry.
00:36:31I'd say it weren't.
00:36:33But
00:36:33honestly, man,
00:36:35I think she still cares about you.
00:36:37Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:36:39I appreciate your info, Josh,
00:36:40but I think I know what's best for Alina and I...
00:36:43Might want to
00:36:43deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:36:45It's overdue for a replacement.
00:36:47If you keep stalling,
00:36:48you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:36:50You know that a new prosthetic
00:36:52would take about three weeks.
00:36:54I'm still on the job.
00:36:55I can't leave Alina alone.
00:36:56I think that would be very, uh,
00:36:58irresponsible of me,
00:36:59don't you think, Josh?
00:37:00Man,
00:37:01you're one hell romantic.
00:37:03You know that?
00:37:04Yeah, well,
00:37:04that makes one of us.
00:37:05Why don't you
00:37:05get the hell out of here, all right?
00:37:07All right.
00:37:20Almighty God,
00:37:23in your mercy,
00:37:24turn the darkness of death
00:37:26into the dawn of new life
00:37:28and the sorrow of parting
00:37:29into the joy of heaven
00:37:31through our Savior, Jesus Christ,
00:37:34who died,
00:37:35rose again,
00:37:36and lives forevermore.
00:37:39Amen.
00:37:39My deepest condolences.
00:37:46May your father rest in peace.
00:37:48If your father knew
00:37:49that your reckless reforms
00:37:50would be tearing his company apart,
00:37:52you would never rest in peace.
00:37:54He was your brother.
00:37:56If you had even a shred of affection for him,
00:37:59you would never say something like that
00:38:00at his funeral.
00:38:02You know, Uncle Houston,
00:38:03I've always wondered,
00:38:04you've been far angrier
00:38:05about the health care reforms
00:38:06than my own father's murder.
00:38:09Could it be that you had something
00:38:10to do with his death?
00:38:13That is outrageous slander.
00:38:16How dare you accuse me
00:38:17of murdering my brother
00:38:18at his funeral?
00:38:28Sorry for your loss.
00:38:36I'm not even going to let him
00:38:45take a moment.
00:38:46But...
00:38:47I'll be like,
00:38:49relax.
00:38:51I'll be like,
00:38:52baby1,
00:38:53baby2,
00:38:53baby2,
00:38:54baby2,
00:38:55baby2,
00:38:56baby2,
00:38:58baby0,
00:38:59baby3,
00:39:00baby1,
00:39:01baby2,
00:39:03baby2,
00:39:04baby2,
00:39:05baby1,
00:39:05baby2,
00:39:06This was my father's favorite.
00:39:11I got it for him for his birthday,
00:39:13but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:39:26Right here.
00:39:27Not going anywhere.
00:39:36G'day.
00:39:39No.
00:39:42Don't go.
00:39:48Can you promise
00:39:49you won't leave me again?
00:39:53I promise.
00:39:54I'll never leave you again.
00:39:57Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:40:01Someone that you can't forget.
00:40:03Is that someone me?
00:40:06Tell me, Ace.
00:40:16Yes.
00:40:18That someone is you.
00:40:20It always has been.
00:40:21If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:40:24Look, it's been a long day.
00:40:25I don't think
00:40:26we should talk about it.
00:40:30I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:40:31You did hurt me.
00:40:33Three years ago,
00:40:35I waited for you to come back and marry me,
00:40:38and then you left me for another woman.
00:40:41You broke my heart.
00:40:43And then you just walked back in my life
00:40:45like nothing happened.
00:40:47No.
00:40:48No.
00:40:48No.
00:40:48No.
00:40:49No.
00:40:49No.
00:40:50No.
00:40:50No.
00:40:51No.
00:40:51No.
00:40:52No.
00:40:52No.
00:40:53No.
00:40:53No.
00:40:54No.
00:40:54No.
00:40:55No.
00:40:56No.
00:40:56No.
00:40:57No.
00:40:57No.
00:40:58No.
00:40:58No.
00:40:59No.
00:40:59No.
00:41:00No.
00:41:00No.
00:41:01No.
00:41:01No.
00:41:02No.
00:41:02No.
00:41:03No.
00:41:03No.
00:41:04No.
00:41:04No.
00:41:05No.
00:41:05No.
00:41:06No.
00:41:06No.
00:41:07No.
00:41:07No.
00:41:08No.
00:41:09No.
00:41:10No.
00:41:11No.
00:41:12No.
00:41:13No.
00:41:14No.
00:41:15No.
00:41:16No.
00:41:17Oh, my God, I drank too much.
00:41:33Did we sleep together?
00:41:36You hungry?
00:41:38I had your breakfast.
00:41:40Last night, I thought we...
00:41:44You were drunk.
00:41:46Very drunk.
00:41:47I took care of you.
00:41:48That was it.
00:41:49He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:41:52Jerk.
00:41:55Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:42:10You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:42:15Haven't you dealt with that bitch, Elena, yet?
00:42:17She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:42:20She's hard to handle.
00:42:22A bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her.
00:42:25I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:42:27This will not do.
00:42:29She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:42:32Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:42:35If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:42:38What do you want me to do?
00:42:40The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:42:44Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board.
00:42:47What you're going to do is invite her to go as your date, and then you're going to propose
00:42:51to her publicly.
00:42:52Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:42:55We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from her form.
00:43:00Kill two birds with one stone.
00:43:01I like that.
00:43:02Exactly.
00:43:03The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:43:07In a way, she risks taking the company's stock prices again.
00:43:14Elena.
00:43:16I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:43:22I told you, Mr. Vegas would be chasing this person.
00:43:25He's been out of for ages.
00:43:26His persistence is kind of impressive.
00:43:28Um, Chad, I...
00:43:38Elena, trust me.
00:43:40I can help you win over a couple more board members for the health care reform plan.
00:43:48Yeah.
00:43:49Yes, I would love to go to dinner.
00:43:51Great.
00:43:52See you later.
00:43:52Mm-hmm.
00:43:58How do I look?
00:44:14You look beautiful.
00:44:17You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:44:20Are you jealous?
00:44:23I just don't think that that guy deserves...
00:44:28all of this.
00:44:34Oh, speak of the double.
00:44:37Beautiful.
00:44:39Elena, we should get going.
00:44:40We're going to be late.
00:44:41And, uh, Ace, remember your place.
00:44:45Okay, there, sport?
00:44:46You're the bodyguard.
00:44:49So make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:44:53Yeah.
00:44:58lena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses,
00:45:11but I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:45:18Forget about that for a moment.
00:45:19But what we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:45:24Given the company's current PR crisis,
00:45:27announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:45:31Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:45:34Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:45:38Chad and I are...
00:45:38Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:45:41Our company has faced challenges recently,
00:45:49but on this special night,
00:45:53our new CEO, Miss Elena Pearson,
00:45:56would like to say a few words.
00:46:01Before Miss Pearson says anything,
00:46:04I have a surprise for her.
00:46:08I have a surprise for her.
00:46:10Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:46:27Will you marry me?
00:46:28Marry him!
00:46:30Marry him!
00:46:31Marry him!
00:46:32Marry him!
00:46:34Marry him!
00:46:35Marry him!
00:46:37Marry him!
00:46:38Marry him!
00:46:39Chad, stand up.
00:46:41What are you doing?
00:46:42I don't...
00:46:42Come on, let's go.
00:46:45We're leaving.
00:46:45Okay.
00:46:50What the hell are you doing?
00:47:05Storming out like that in front of all those guests,
00:47:07you've realized how bad you're making the company's image look.
00:47:10Oh, really?
00:47:11So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:47:14That's ridiculous.
00:47:15Who I marry is none of your business.
00:47:18We're over, Ace.
00:47:19You're just my bodyguard.
00:47:20You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:47:22You don't mean that.
00:47:24You don't love that guy.
00:47:25You barely fucking know him.
00:47:27Who I love is none of your concern.
00:47:29No.
00:47:29Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins,
00:47:33when you push me away over and over again.
00:47:36Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal,
00:47:38you would have nothing to do with it,
00:47:39and you couldn't stop me.
00:47:50Elena!
00:47:51Elena, where are you?
00:47:55Elena, are you in there?
00:47:56Tell him you're busy.
00:48:02Make him leave.
00:48:06Tell him you're busy.
00:48:07Make him leave.
00:48:08I'm sorry.
00:48:26I'll be out in a minute.
00:48:33Are you sure you're okay?
00:48:38Yeah, I'm fine.
00:48:39Just go.
00:48:41Just go.
00:48:41He's your bastard.
00:49:00Look, I'm sorry about that,
00:49:01but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:49:03Oh, and you do?
00:49:05You abandoned me.
00:49:06We were supposed to get married.
00:49:07You have no right to say that to me.
00:49:11What do you think's going on here?
00:49:14Do you think that I don't love you?
00:49:17I mean, do you have any fucking idea?
00:49:18Elena!
00:49:19Who's in there with you?
00:49:21How much what?
00:49:21What are you saying?
00:49:25How much what?
00:49:27What are you saying?
00:49:28Elena!
00:49:30What do you think?
00:49:31What are you two doing in here?
00:49:37I could ask you the same question, Chad.
00:49:40You told me it was just a date to the gala,
00:49:42and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:49:44Proposing in front of everyone?
00:49:46What?
00:49:46Have you lost your mind?
00:49:47Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long,
00:49:50and you've never rejected me.
00:49:52So that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:49:55What?
00:49:57I haven't said anything.
00:49:58You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:50:00What's the difference, hmm?
00:50:02Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.
00:50:05Since you've never rejected me,
00:50:07it's clear that you like me.
00:50:08It's only natural for us to be together.
00:50:10Hey, don't step closer.
00:50:12And who the hell are you?
00:50:14You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:50:17Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:50:19Acting all on your high horse,
00:50:21but deep down,
00:50:22you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:50:30Oh!
00:50:33Bravo!
00:50:34Bravo!
00:50:34You two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
00:50:36Hey, this must be nice, huh?
00:50:38Living with your boss,
00:50:39sleeping with her on the side.
00:50:41Shut the fuck up.
00:50:42Is the matter, struck a nerve?
00:50:43Elena, you have the audacity
00:50:46to accuse me
00:50:48of damaging the company?
00:50:50Take a look in the mirror.
00:50:51You're the CEO
00:50:53sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:50:55You're the real disgrace
00:50:55of the piercing group.
00:50:57Oh!
00:50:58Oh!
00:50:58Oh!
00:50:59Get down!
00:51:00Get down!
00:51:02You see that girl right there?
00:51:03There's no one in the world
00:51:04that I love more than her.
00:51:05You're not going to disrespect her.
00:51:07You show face around here again,
00:51:08I'm going to fuck you two of them.
00:51:09Do you understand?
00:51:10Do you understand?
00:51:11Get down!
00:51:11Get down!
00:51:12Get down!
00:51:21You...
00:51:22You left me?
00:51:27Did you mean what you said?
00:51:30At least just tell me the truth.
00:51:32That's all it takes
00:51:33for us to start over.
00:51:37No.
00:51:38Elena, I can't be...
00:51:40I can't be with you.
00:51:41I'm just a man
00:51:42with a prosthetic.
00:51:44I'm not whole.
00:51:45I'll never be enough for you.
00:51:46That was just impulsive.
00:51:48I shouldn't have said that.
00:51:49I'm sorry.
00:51:49You're lying.
00:51:52You still keep a photo
00:51:53of us in your wallet.
00:51:55You'd risk your life for me.
00:51:57You'd stay up all night
00:51:58to protect me.
00:51:59That is not just
00:52:00a bodyguard doing his job.
00:52:02That is something more
00:52:03and you know it.
00:52:04Moments ago,
00:52:05right here,
00:52:06you said that you love me
00:52:07more than anyone else
00:52:08in the world.
00:52:11It's...
00:52:12Why won't you admit
00:52:13that you still love me?
00:52:16Elena, look at it.
00:52:19I'm here to guard you.
00:52:26I'm your bodyguard.
00:52:28I shouldn't have
00:52:29crossed the line.
00:52:30I'm sorry.
00:52:32Now, let's go.
00:52:34Stay away from me.
00:52:37Elena.
00:52:39I'm sorry, Elena.
00:52:41I can't hold you back.
00:52:43You deserve better
00:52:43than a broken man
00:52:44like myself.
00:52:45I can't handle one woman.
00:52:53Absolutely useless.
00:52:54That bitch has been
00:52:55screwing her bodyguard
00:52:56the whole damn time.
00:52:57What do you want me to do?
00:52:58That pathetic
00:52:59freaking loser.
00:53:02I'm going to kill him.
00:53:05It's only a matter of time.
00:53:06If that's the case,
00:53:08there's only one option left.
00:53:11We want Pearson Group.
00:53:12We're going to have
00:53:13to eliminate her.
00:53:15Just like we did
00:53:16her father.
00:53:29You think you can
00:53:30fix everything
00:53:31that these little tricks
00:53:32won't work, Ace?
00:53:34It's your favorite.
00:53:36French toast.
00:53:36Been up since six,
00:53:39making sure everything
00:53:39was perfect.
00:53:41I know it's been a while,
00:53:42so I hope it tastes like
00:53:43how you remember it.
00:54:00Oliver, what are you
00:54:00doing here?
00:54:03This is a signed
00:54:05first edition.
00:54:07Mr. Atkins went
00:54:08through several
00:54:09of his connections
00:54:10to track that down
00:54:12for you.
00:54:13And while you're
00:54:15at your meetings,
00:54:16he took it upon himself
00:54:17to redecorate
00:54:19your entire office.
00:54:28Do you really think
00:54:29gestures like these
00:54:30are going to make
00:54:30me forgive you?
00:54:34I just want you
00:54:35to be happy.
00:54:37Elena, whether you
00:54:39forgive me or not
00:54:40doesn't really matter.
00:54:41You have every right
00:54:42to hate me and to
00:54:43push me away
00:54:43if that's what you want.
00:54:45But please,
00:54:47just don't let this
00:54:48anger eat away at you.
00:54:51It wasn't your fault.
00:54:53None of it was.
00:54:55It was mine.
00:54:57Don't think you've won
00:54:58me over.
00:54:59I haven't forgiven you
00:55:00yet.
00:55:03Don't think you've
00:55:04won me over.
00:55:04I haven't forgiven you
00:55:05yet.
00:55:07Go make me a coffee.
00:55:10I have a meeting soon.
00:55:10Miss Pearson, if I may say,
00:55:20Mr. Atkins cares for you
00:55:22deeply.
00:55:24And from the way
00:55:25you look at him,
00:55:26it's clear you feel
00:55:27the same way.
00:55:29So why not just be
00:55:31together?
00:55:32Hollinger, you don't
00:55:33understand.
00:55:33Every time I take a step
00:55:35forward, he takes two
00:55:36steps back.
00:55:37It's not that simple.
00:55:40Well, then maybe you
00:55:40should take the lead.
00:55:44Valentine's Day is
00:55:45right around the corner.
00:55:47Why not use the occasion
00:55:49to clear the air and
00:55:51finally talk it through?
00:55:56Maybe.
00:56:07Maybe you should
00:56:09take the lead.
00:56:12The first gift
00:56:13I ever gave Ace
00:56:14was a motorcycle
00:56:15and he loved it.
00:56:17Ace, stay here.
00:56:18I have a surprise for you.
00:56:24All right.
00:56:25And your order
00:56:25will be delivered tonight.
00:56:27Thank you so much.
00:56:28Thank you for shopping
00:56:28with us, Miss Pearson.
00:57:07Josh, Josh, Elena's been taking.
00:57:28Activate the tracking system, get the cops involved.
00:57:31I'll go on after her.
00:57:37Who are you?
00:57:45Look, if this is about the company's health care reforms that I promised you, I'm proposing a new plan.
00:57:51It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
00:57:53Shut your mouth.
00:57:56This isn't about health care.
00:57:57You got it all wrong.
00:57:58What?
00:57:59My uncle hired you?
00:58:08He paid you to kill my dad?
00:58:10Ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:58:11Took you long enough to figure out.
00:58:13Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:58:18Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head!
00:58:23Okay, I'll sign.
00:58:25But you have to let me go after.
00:58:27Good.
00:58:29Sign it.
00:58:30Then you're free to go.
00:58:32He's lying.
00:58:34As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.
00:58:36Think, Elena, think.
00:58:37Hurry up.
00:58:39Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
00:58:44Okay?
00:58:45Now that this job is completed, I can never have to worry about money ever again.
00:59:09Good job.
00:59:10Drop your weapon or I'll blow her brains out.
00:59:31That's good.
00:59:32Yes, don't do it.
00:59:34Drop your weapon!
00:59:35Good job.
00:59:42Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:59:45Go ahead.
00:59:57No.
00:59:58Are you crazy?
01:00:13He had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after him.
01:00:17I thought I lost you.
01:00:18It's going to be okay.
01:00:19I knew exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.
01:00:26It's over.
01:00:26Who sent you?
01:00:37Come on!
01:00:40Okay, just get me a medic.
01:00:41I don't want to die.
01:00:42You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers.
01:00:45So talk!
01:00:48It's Houston.
01:00:50He paid me to kill Carter.
01:00:52I can't believe.
01:00:54There's proof.

01:00:57Just drink it!
01:01:03Kill that idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.
01:01:11Why would he murder his own brother?
01:01:13My father's been nothing but kind to him.
01:01:20It comes out of the way.
01:01:23Everything's fine.
01:01:24Yes, I don't understand.
01:01:26Houston was the company's second largest shareholder.
01:01:29What more could he possibly want?
01:01:32Why would he murder my father?
01:01:35And in front of me, too?
01:01:38I'm going to have to live with that image scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life.
01:01:42Some people just want more.
01:01:44Some people just want more.
01:01:44Some people just want more.
01:01:45And it's never enough.

01:10:45You're a jerk.
01:10:52God, what an asshole.
01:10:56Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:11:05Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:11:35Oh my God, Miss Pearson, I'm going to call an ambulance.
01:11:53Is he going to be okay, doctor?
01:12:02Dad?
01:12:05He'll tell Elena about a...
01:12:08My prosthetic leg.
01:12:12All right.
01:12:13I respect your wishes.
01:12:18Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:12:23His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:12:27Thank you, doctor.
01:12:28By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:12:33Okay, I'll go there now, then.
01:12:40Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:12:42Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:12:45According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives, has been involved
01:12:54in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.
01:12:58The killer was hired by him.
01:13:00What?
01:13:02Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:13:04Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:13:07You can rest assured that, with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.
01:13:13You're safe.
01:13:15Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are going to offer you protection until
01:13:20the trial is over.
01:13:22You can rest.
01:13:24I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:13:29Ace?
01:13:30Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete, and you're no longer in danger, so it's time
01:13:47for me to leave.
01:13:48I just wanted to say goodbye, and I wish you all the best.
01:13:52Ace.
01:13:54How?
01:13:55You're leaving me again?
01:13:58I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:14:00It's her.
01:14:26The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:14:28So you're a physical therapist?
01:14:32That's your daughter and husband?
01:14:34Yes.
01:14:36I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:14:39You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
01:14:43This involves Ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:14:48But Alina, I assure you, Ace did not betray you.
01:14:51Then why?
01:14:52Then why?
01:14:54Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?
01:14:58I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
01:15:01But I think that, deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:15:08He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:15:17Alina, what are you doing here?
01:15:19Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital, and he just left me a note.
01:15:22Do you know where he is?
01:15:24What?
01:15:26Does he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:15:30What do you mean, prosthetic leg?
01:15:37Oh, man.
01:15:39I wasn't supposed to say that.
01:15:40Josh, what do you mean, prosthetic?
01:15:43All right.
01:15:45Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:15:49Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.
01:15:54So, he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
01:15:57Later, after you got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.
01:16:03He thought a great girl like you deserved it better.
01:16:05So, he avoided you at critical moments.
01:16:11Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:16:14He's getting his new prosthetic leg fitted right now.
01:16:16Go find him, Alina.
01:16:18Ace, you jerk.
01:16:20How could you keep something so important from me?
01:16:23This time, I won't let you go.
01:16:24I won't let you walk away again.
01:16:27Fortunately, you came in time.
01:16:30The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
01:16:33With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:16:36This one is newly made for you.
01:16:38Try it.
01:16:39Thanks.
01:16:39May I see you here.
01:16:57Today is now.
01:16:58In the life of yours.
01:17:00Today is now.
01:17:01Today is now.
01:17:02Today is now.
01:17:03Let's get sick of yourself.
01:17:04Today is now.
01:17:05This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:17:17This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:17:20What are you doing here?
01:17:21You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.
01:17:26This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:17:30Elena, you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
01:17:34I need you to leave right now.
01:17:35Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:17:38Do you really think that little of me?
01:17:41That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
01:17:44How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena?
01:17:45I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:17:53Huh?
01:17:54I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.
01:17:58I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:17:59I mean, just fucking look at me, Elena.
01:18:01I can't even stand up straight.
01:18:03But I love you.
01:18:03Ace, can't you see?
01:18:09No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you.
01:18:13Always!
01:18:19Elena, come on, why?
01:18:20Just stop pushing me away.
01:18:24Ace Atkins, you listen to me right now.
01:18:27You have left me so many times.
01:18:33You can't keep running from me.
01:18:36I am here to stay.
01:18:39Got it?
01:18:40I love you so much.
01:18:42I'm sorry.
01:18:43I'm sorry.
01:18:43Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:19:03Come on, don't try and be tough.
01:19:04No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:19:09So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
01:19:13I'm disabled and I might become a burden to you when we're older.
01:19:19Have you thought about that?
01:19:19If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.
01:19:27I love Ace Atkins.
01:19:29The person, not the leg.
01:19:32So what if you're missing a leg?
01:19:33I will love you all the same.
01:19:36Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:19:38No, no, of course not, man.
01:19:43I'll always be by your side.
01:19:46Then let me do the same.
01:19:49I am choosing you, okay?
01:19:54Got it.
01:20:08Miss Pearson, your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life.
01:20:18Miss Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success, making you the most popular CEO in the U.S.
01:20:24What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:20:28I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great planning, but also because of my fiancé.
01:20:38Ace Atkins.
01:20:40His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
