00:00:00Carter Pearson, CEO of Pearson Healthcare, was fatally shot by a gunman on 5th Avenue.

00:00:05Will Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, be the next target?

00:00:13Long time no see, Ms. Pearson.

00:00:17I'm your personal bodyguard.

00:00:21I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.

00:00:25It's over. I got myself a new girl.

00:00:27I hate Ace Atkins!

00:00:30You broke my heart. Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?

00:00:37Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?

00:00:44Elena, 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!

00:00:54Your deployment's tomorrow.

00:01:04I'm still worried.

00:01:08Yes!

00:01:21Your 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.

00:01:38Oh, my God.

00:01:53Oh, 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.

00:02:03Yeah.

00:02:03What are you doing with my dinner?

00:02:04I'm so sorry to interrupt, but have you seen Ace?

00:02:07Ace, he was supposed to come out with you.

00:02:09Ace?

00:02:10He's been back for a month.

00:02:12He didn't tell you.

00:02:13What?

00:02:16Call him up.

00:02:17You'll see.

00:02:19Let's go.

00:02:22Ace came back a month ago,

00:02:25but he hasn't been answering my calls.

00:02:32Ace, open up.

00:02:33I know you're in there.

00:02:35Ace!

00:02:36Ace!

00:02:55Ace, what are you doing?

00:02:57Who is that woman?

00:03:02Ace, open the door!

00:03:04Who the hell are you, and what do you want with Ace?

00:03:08I need to see him.

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?

00:03:28I waited for you for three years.

00:03:31You said we were gonna get married when you came back, and now you're just telling me to

00:03:34move on?

00:03:35I was just fooling around that whole time.

00:03:37I didn't mean any of it.

00:03:40Besides, 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.

00:03:45I don't believe you.

00:03:47No, 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, and 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.

00:04:09And I never should have fallen for you.

00:04:11I hate you, Ace Atkins!

00:04:12Did 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 gonna leave you.

00:04:38That's what I'm afraid of.

00:04:40I love her.

00:04:41She's gotta 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.

00:05:13Take 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.

00:05:27That's all I'm asking for.

00:05:28What can you possibly do for Elena when you can't even stand on your own?

00:05:32All you'll do is break her heart.

00:05:35I'll never let my little girl marry a one-legged cripple.

00:05:38If you really love her, leave her alone.

00:05:40Thanks for doing this, Sally.

00:05:54Thanks for doing this, Sally.

00:06:08I really appreciate it.

00:06:11We'll start physical therapy in ten minutes.

00:06:13I'll go get the equipment.

00:06:18I 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

00:06:35on Fifth Avenue.

00:06:36Police suspect the attack may be related to the wave of insurance policy changes that Pearson

00:06:41Healthcare is preparing to implement.

00:06:43For now, the gunman remains at large, while Elena Pearson, the victim's daughter, is set

00:06:48to take over as CEO.

00:06:49Clean that up.

00:07:08Good morning, gentlemen.

00:07:09I'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

00:07:24more affordable for everyone.

00:07:26My plan...

00:07:30To hell with your shit plan.

00:07:32You're giving away our profits to these poor people.

00:07:35I 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.

00:07:43No matter what you say, I will never, ever, change my mind.

00:07:49Really?

00:07:51You think you can control the entire group?

00:07:54I'm not the only one against this bullshit plan.

00:07:56I'm not the only one Oooh!

00:07:57Ah!

00:08:11Ah!

00:08:12Ah!

00:08:13Ah!

00:08:18Ah!

00:08:19Looks like you all need some more training still.

00:08:43Got a long way to go.

00:08:44Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform or will she be next

00:08:51on the assassin's list?

00:08:53Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?

00:08:57Ace, you're the CEO of the company.

00:09:00We could totally assign someone else to handle Lena's case.

00:09:03So you heard the news too, huh?

00:09:05I don't think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh.

00:09:09I'll handle it.

00:09:14Elena, today, you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.

00:09:24We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.

00:09:27Simple as that.

00:09:29Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.

00:09:31Have you lost your mind?

00:09:44Forcing a signature is illegal.

00:09:45No one here will testify against me.

00:09:47Just sign the damn paper.

00:09:50Are you all going to let him do this?

00:09:52Lena, you're asking us to throw our money away on those lowlifes.

00:09:56Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.

00:09:58Let's go, Russ.

00:10:05Come on.

00:10:19Get your hands off of her.

00:10:22No way.

00:10:23That voice, it can't be him.

00:10:28It can't be him.

00:10:29Yeah!

00:10:39Long time no see, Miss Pearson.

00:10:44I'm your personal bodyguard.

00:10:46It's been three years.

00:10:48I've missed you, Elena.

00:10:50You're in what?

00:10:51Jesus, Elena.

00:10:52Did you do something about your bodyguard?

00:10:54Stupid or something?

00:10:55You insult my boss again.

00:11:00You're going to be the one that needs some fucking health care.

00:11:03Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.

00:11:10Leave or you're fired.

00:11:12I don't give a shit you're my uncle.

00:11:14There's only one way to deal with people like you, Elena, and that's to get rid of them.

00:11:18Just like I got rid of your father.

00:11:25What are you doing here?

00:11:27No one told me anything about needing a personal bodyguard.

00:11:30Miss Pearson, Mr. Atkins, Mr. Atkins, I'm Oliver, the family butler.

00:11:38Miss, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.

00:11:45Now, as for the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.

00:11:54Oliver, Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.

00:12:06Anyone but him.

00:12:07Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.

00:12:10With him around, your safety is practically guaranteed.

00:12:16Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute?

00:12:18I need to talk to him.

00:12:19Yes, ma'am.

00:12:20Ace, what are you doing here?

00:12:26I was just making sure that you were safe.

00:12:28Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now and, uh, well, I was worried about you.

00:12:34We broke up three years ago.

00:12:36You cheated on me.

00:12:37You don't have the right to be worried about me.

00:12:39The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.

00:12:44The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.

00:12:48No, go.

00:12:49I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.

00:12:55Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?

00:13:00Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?

00:13:03Why is my heart beating so fast?

00:13:06You're delusional.

00:13:08Oh, wait a minute.

00:13:08The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.

00:13:17Only an idiot would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.

00:13:23Let go.

00:13:24Take me home.

00:13:33Later.

00:13:37Asshole.

00:13:38You broke my heart.

00:13:40Now you come back into my life like it's nothing.

00:13:42That's odd.

00:13:49I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?

00:13:58Someone broke in.

00:14:00The killer?

00:14:00Why so surprised, princess?

00:14:24Didn't you know you were going to be next?

00:14:30No.

00:14:31I don't want to die, please.

00:14:32Someone help me.

00:14:33I don't want to die.

00:15:03You're so good.

00:15:17I thought I was going to die.

00:15:19You're safe.

00:15:21You hurt?

00:15:22Are you all right?

00:15:23You saved me.

00:15:26Nice.

00:15:30You're bleeding.

00:15:34He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even harder than he used to be.

00:15:39He's still got that same glow.

00:15:41God, I missed her.

00:15:44Do you remember the last time we, uh, met her?

00:15:49He's hard.

00:16:02Yes, ma'am.

00:16:09That guy got you in the leg, too, right?

00:16:12I should wrap that up.

00:16:14No, no, no.

00:16:15He tried to stab me in the leg, and he missed.

00:16:19It's fine.

00:16:20I saw the knife go straight into your leg.

00:16:26Peace, is there something wrong?

00:16:27It's fine.

00:16:29Okay.

00:16:29Oh.

00:16:34Okay.

00:16:35Okay.

00:16:36Okay.

00:16:37Okay.

00:16:38Okay.

00:16:40Oh my

00:17:03Am I interrupting?

00:17:07No, uh, no

00:17:09Ace, uh, cut himself

00:17:12And I was just helping him

00:17:15Dress the wound

00:17:16Mr. Atkins

00:17:19I, uh, brought your luggage up

00:17:21Great

00:17:21Wait, he's not staying with me

00:17:25Yes, Miss Pearson

00:17:27Of course

00:17:28That's exactly what a personal bodyguard

00:17:31Does

00:17:31The contract clearly states

00:17:34That Mr. Atkins must remain by your side

00:17:3724-7

00:17:39And to ensure your safety

00:17:42Oliver, it's not just about the contract

00:17:44I, I can't

00:17:45I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard

00:17:50You must understand

00:17:52You might very well be the next target

00:17:56If you fail to understand this

00:17:58Then I shall have to tender

00:18:00My letter of resignation

00:18:02Be fine

00:18:04Oliver, you win

00:18:06Brilliant

00:18:08Mr. Atkins

00:18:10From here on out

00:18:12Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands

00:18:15I would take a bullet for her

00:18:21You're the first door on the left

00:18:36You can stay there

00:18:37Elena, please

00:18:38Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room

00:18:40We broke up three years ago

00:18:43And that's that

00:18:44Now, if you're gonna be staying here

00:18:46We need to establish some boundaries

00:18:48So, here's how it's gonna go

00:18:51You are gonna do your job as my bodyguard

00:18:53And I'm gonna live my life

00:18:55Nothing else

00:18:56Is that clear?

00:18:58Crystal

00:19:00I've been unpacking myself

00:19:16Is this his wallet?

00:19:28You said you never left me

00:19:30So, why do you have a photo of me inside your wallet?

00:19:40Check the house

00:19:41It's all clear

00:19:42Safe to sleep

00:19:43Great, thanks

00:19:45I'm gonna go to bed now

00:19:58Go

00:20:12Shit

00:20:21Sorry

00:20:23I thought you were in danger

00:20:25Just hand me that towel

00:20:27It's not like I haven't seen you anymore

00:20:44Be professional

00:20:52I'm still your boss, remember?

00:20:57Yes, ma'am

00:21:22You've changed a lot, Elena

00:21:25And after all these years, I still feel the same about you

00:21:43Ace, I have some scar cream for you

00:21:45Yeah, just hold on a second, one minute

00:21:47Yeah

00:21:53What's up?

00:21:55Hey

00:21:57I just have something for the scars

00:22:01I can put it on

00:22:03Okay

00:22:13I'm surprised that you still want to show this much care for me still

00:22:19You know, for yourself

00:22:23I'm just helping you because I'm nice

00:22:25Lay on

00:22:27Calm yourself, he's just a stupid ex with a hot body

00:22:31Okay

00:22:33Hold on

00:22:35Thank you

00:22:37Thank you

00:22:43Hey, what is with you and this blanket?

00:22:46I saw that guy get you in the leg

00:22:49My leg is fine

00:22:51I'm just sitting

00:22:53That's how I sit

00:22:55I call BS, let me see it

00:23:09What if I'm hiding something under there?

00:23:13Maybe I'm hiding a boner to see it

00:23:25You're not my boyfriend anymore

00:23:27You're my bodyguard

00:23:29We should keep things professional

00:23:33Good night for you

00:23:37Good night

00:23:38You're right, Elena

00:23:42I'm just your bodyguard

00:23:54Elena

00:23:55I want you to put this on

00:23:56It's lightweight

00:23:57You won't even feel it

00:23:58I'm not wearing that

00:24:00You can either do it yourself

00:24:01Or I could strip your clothes off for you

00:24:03And I could do it

00:24:05And if you ask me, I prefer the latter

00:24:07Look, I can do it myself

00:24:17Ma'am?

00:24:18I've got it

00:24:37Why does he have to be so damn attractive?

00:24:40It's inside

00:24:44Okay, I have to go

00:24:46I'm late for work

00:24:47Yes, ma'am

00:24:49I'm assuming that assassination didn't go as planned?

00:24:52An idiot calls himself a hitman

00:24:53He can't handle a defenseless woman

00:24:54Chad, I'm leaving this to you

00:24:55Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb

00:24:56And Pearson Healthcare is ours

00:24:57Consider it done

00:25:01Jesus, Chad, how many times have I told you to knock?

00:25:02What do you want?

00:25:03You owe me dinner, remember?

00:25:04I remember

00:25:05But I'm swamped with work and planning a funeral

00:25:06So can we take a brain check?

00:25:07Let me handle the funeral preparations

00:25:08You've been working too hard since your father passed

00:25:10This is how people get burned down

00:25:11You need to take some time off to relax

00:25:12You need to take some time off to relax

00:25:13Let me handle the funeral preparations

00:25:14You've been working too hard since your father passed

00:25:15This is how people get burned down

00:25:16You need to take some time off to relax

00:25:17You need to take some time off to relax

00:25:47Yeah

00:25:48You know what, let's do dinner

00:25:55Great

00:26:08Sir, this is a table for two

00:26:14Why don't you go sit over there?

00:26:17I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard

00:26:18I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times

00:26:19But thanks for checking in

00:26:24I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard

00:26:25I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times

00:26:27I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times

00:26:31But thanks for checking in

00:26:36I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times

00:26:37I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times

00:26:41But thanks for checking in

00:26:43Well, don't let me interrupt

00:26:53If you guys haven't ordered yet, go ahead

00:26:5782 Lafite. Your favorite. I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me. Here, have a taste.

00:27:12Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink. I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?

00:27:18Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Atlanta's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.

00:27:27My apologies. Elena, I know how tough it's been for you. And I want you to know that I'm here for you. Always. And that my heart belongs to you.

00:27:48Sorry, Chad. I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that. Can we eat? I'm starving.

00:27:57Yeah. Sam!

00:28:00The mango salad.

00:28:05Oh, hey, Sam. Sorry about that. She actually doesn't like mangoes. You mind bringing out another plate without him?

00:28:12He still remembers?

00:28:14I'll see what I can do about that.

00:28:15Wait, didn't he? You two just meet? How would he know that you don't like mangoes?

00:28:24How would he know that you don't like mangoes?

00:28:26Well, we actually go way back. And I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference on mangoes.

00:28:33He's my bodyguard. Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know.

00:28:37I'll just pick around the mangoes.

00:28:39Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.

00:28:44Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.

00:28:47What was that tonight?

00:28:48If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous.

00:28:49What was that tonight?

00:28:50If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.

00:29:04Maybe you're just seeing things the way you're not.

00:29:10What was that tonight?

00:29:15If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.

00:29:17I'm jealous of Chad.

00:29:19Maybe you're just seeing things the way you want to see them.

00:29:23You ever think about that?

00:29:25How could I forget?

00:29:27Right, you shattered my heart.

00:29:30Save it!

00:29:32Just go home.

00:29:33I have funeral preparations to make anyway.

00:29:39I'm sorry, Elena.

00:29:41I was just trying to give you a better life.

00:29:44I didn't think it would hurt you this much.

00:29:47Elena!

00:29:51Elena?

00:29:53Dad!

00:29:54You're back!

00:30:07Dad!

00:30:10What's going on?

00:30:11Please.

00:30:13It's fine, I'm here, okay?

00:30:15You're safe.

00:30:18I had a dream about my dad.

00:30:22One second he was smiling at me and then the next.

00:30:34I just doubt myself sometimes.

00:30:36Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?

00:30:49You're the strongest woman I've ever known.

00:30:52And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.

00:30:55Besides, I'm gonna be right here the whole time supporting you.

00:30:59Protecting you.

00:31:02Protecting me?

00:31:06Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?

00:31:09No.

00:31:10I love you.

00:31:11I love you.

00:31:12A relationship that is in the past.

00:31:16But I would protect you with my life.

00:31:19I'd die for you.

00:31:21I need you to understand that.

00:31:24So you would die for me, but you won't love me.

00:31:34So you would die for me, but you won't love me.

00:31:36Don't love me.

00:31:37Stay with me.

00:31:38Stay with me.

00:32:02I thought you wanted to keep things professional.

00:32:04You're my bodyguard, and I'm scared.

00:32:13Stay with me so I can feel safe.

00:32:34If only I could stay by your side like this forever.

00:32:42What are we doing here?

00:32:44I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.

00:32:47You know, just in case.

00:32:49Always got to be prepared.

00:32:51What I mean is, in case I die first, and you're still in danger, you can fight your way out.

00:33:00First case scenario.

00:33:04What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?

00:33:13Um...

00:33:14No, all the pushing in the world won't do anything.

00:33:20Try putting your hand on a more vulnerable place.

00:33:25That one there.

00:33:28And that one there.

00:33:29Push as hard as you can.

00:33:31All right.

00:33:36Nice.

00:33:40All right.

00:33:41Second scenario.

00:33:44What if somebody...

00:33:46had you like this?

00:33:49It's just self-defense training.

00:34:02Don't let it get to you, Alina.

00:34:05What's your move?

00:34:08Um...

00:34:09I'd go for the more vulnerable part.

00:34:13Like...

00:34:13stomping on the...

00:34:15I...

00:34:15Very nice.

00:34:19You're a very fast learner, aren't you?

00:34:22Okay.

00:34:23Third scenario.

00:34:25You ready?

00:34:26All right.

00:34:27Someone's got you like this.

00:34:37Starts choking you.

00:34:39Um...

00:34:40You gotta be quick.

00:34:41Like this?

00:34:45Use your hips.

00:34:46What?

00:34:48Use your hips to thrust me off of you.

00:34:50As hard as you can.

00:34:51Ace, are you okay?

00:34:57Did I hurt your leg?

00:34:58No.

00:34:59What was that sound?

00:35:04It didn't hurt my leg.

00:35:06It's fine.

00:35:06That was a good job.

00:35:08No, you're hurt.

00:35:10Let me...

00:35:10Fine.

00:35:11That was good work, though.

00:35:12Seriously.

00:35:13Ace, the new security equipment justified.

00:35:16Can you come check it out?

00:35:17Yeah, sure.

00:35:17Thanks, Josh.

00:35:19Good job today.

00:35:21Seriously.

00:35:28That sound was weird.

00:35:34Ace is hiding something from me.

00:35:38Hi.

00:35:39Alina, right?

00:35:40I'm Josh.

00:35:42I used to serve with Ace in the military,

00:35:44but now we're colleagues.

00:35:46He talks about you a lot.

00:35:47Hi, Josh.

00:35:48Josh.

00:35:50I'm sorry.

00:35:51Can I ask,

00:35:52is there something going on with Ace's leg?

00:35:58Huh?

00:35:59Leg?

00:35:59No.

00:36:01Not that I know of.

00:36:02You know,

00:36:03Ace has been single for years now.

00:36:05Everyone here knows that

00:36:07there's someone he's never been able to forget.

00:36:09And that person is you, Alina.

00:36:14You're mistaken.

00:36:15He...

00:36:16He doesn't love me.

00:36:18At all.

00:36:18If you knew him,

00:36:19then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.

00:36:22You know,

00:36:23I might be just an outsider,

00:36:25but I know Ace.

00:36:27Maybe some things aren't what they seem.

00:36:29All right.

00:36:32I got to go check up on Ace

00:36:33and the new equipment.

00:36:34It was nice meeting you.

00:36:35Look it up.

00:36:38Maybe some things aren't what they seem.

00:36:40What does that even mean?

00:36:43Yeah, thanks, Josh.

00:36:44Everything looks great.

00:36:45Okay.

00:36:49Ace.

00:36:51Alina asked about your leg.

00:36:52What'd you say?

00:36:59What'd you say?

00:37:00Don't worry.

00:37:01I didn't say worry.

00:37:03But,

00:37:04honestly, man,

00:37:05I think she still cares about you.

00:37:07Maybe it's time you told her the truth.

00:37:08I appreciate your input, Josh,

00:37:09but I think I know what's best for Alina and I...

00:37:12Might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.

00:37:15It's overdue for a replacement.

00:37:17If you keep stalling,

00:37:18you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.

00:37:20You know that a new prosthetic

00:37:21would take about three weeks.

00:37:23I'm still on the job.

00:37:25I can't leave Alina alone.

00:37:26I think that would be very, uh,

00:37:28irresponsible of me,

00:37:29don't you think, Josh?

00:37:30Man,

00:37:31you're in hell romantic.

00:37:32You know that?

00:37:33Yeah, well,

00:37:33that makes one of us.

00:37:34Why don't you get the hell out of here, all right?

00:37:36Yeah, well,

00:37:50I don't know.

00:37:51Almighty God,

00:37:52in your mercy,

00:37:54turn the darkness of death

00:37:55into the dawn of new life

00:37:57and the sorrow of parting

00:37:59into the joy of heaven

00:38:01through our Savior Jesus Christ,

00:38:03who died,

00:38:05rose again,

00:38:06and lives forevermore.

00:38:08Amen.

00:38:13My deepest condolences.

00:38:15May your father rest in peace.

00:38:17If your father knew

00:38:19that your reckless reforms

00:38:20would be tearing his company apart,

00:38:21you would never rest in peace.

00:38:23He was your brother.

00:38:25If you had even a shred

00:38:27of affection for him,

00:38:28you would never say something

00:38:29like that at his funeral.

00:38:31You know, Uncle Houston,

00:38:32I've always wondered,

00:38:33you've been far angrier

00:38:34about the healthcare reforms

00:38:36than my own father's murder.

00:38:38Could it be that you had

00:38:39something to do with his death?

00:38:42That is outrageous slander.

00:38:45How dare you accuse me

00:38:46of murdering my brother

00:38:47at his funeral?

00:38:55Sorry for your loss.

00:38:58Sorry for your loss.

00:39:25That's enough.

00:39:37This was my father's favorite.

00:39:40I got it for him

00:39:41for his birthday,

00:39:42but he didn't even get

00:39:43a chance to drink it.

00:39:46Oh, God.

00:39:47Oh, God.

00:39:48Right here.

00:39:56Not going anywhere.

00:40:05Good night.

00:40:08No.

00:40:11Don't go.

00:40:12Can you promise

00:40:18you won't leave me again?

00:40:21I promise.

00:40:23I'll never leave you again.

00:40:26Josh said that

00:40:27there's someone in your heart.

00:40:30Someone that you can't forget.

00:40:31Is that someone me?

00:40:36Tell me, Ace.

00:40:37Ace.

00:40:42Yes.

00:40:46That's someone who's you.

00:40:49And it always has been.

00:40:50If you love me,

00:40:51then why did you

00:40:51break up with me?

00:40:53Look, it's been a long day.

00:40:54I don't think

00:40:55we should talk about it.

00:40:58I'm just going to end up

00:40:59hurting you.

00:41:00No, you did hurt me.

00:41:02Three years ago,

00:41:04I waited for you

00:41:05to come back

00:41:06and marry me,

00:41:07and then you left me

00:41:08for another woman.

00:41:09You broke my heart.

00:41:11And then you just

00:41:12lost back in my life

00:41:14like nothing happened.

00:41:15No.

00:41:16No.

00:41:17No.

00:41:41Oh, my God.

00:41:58I drank too much.

00:42:00Can we sleep together?

00:42:04All right.

00:42:06Get your breakfast.

00:42:06Last night,

00:42:10we...

00:42:12You were drunk.

00:42:13Very drunk.

00:42:15He took care of you.

00:42:16That was it.

00:42:17He's not going to

00:42:18mention the kiss?

00:42:20Jerk.

00:42:23Well,

00:42:23thank you

00:42:25so much

00:42:26for taking such great care of me,

00:42:27Mr. Bodyguard.

00:42:28You've been far angrier

00:42:39about the health care reforms

00:42:40than my own father's murder.

00:42:43Haven't you dealt

00:42:43with that bitch, Elena, yet?

00:42:45She's starting to suspect

00:42:46I had something to do

00:42:47with her father's death.

00:42:48She's hard to handle.

00:42:50A bodyguard of hers

00:42:51is practically glued onto her.

00:42:53I can never get her alone

00:42:53and make any real progress.

00:42:55This

00:42:55will not do.

00:42:58She's been lobbying

00:42:58aggressively within the company.

00:43:00Some of the board

00:43:01are starting to support

00:43:02her reforms.

00:43:03If she keeps this up,

00:43:05I'll get pushed

00:43:05out of the company.

00:43:07What do you want me to do?

00:43:10The company's annual gala

00:43:11is this weekend.

00:43:12Elena will undoubtedly

00:43:13use it to rally

00:43:14more support from the board.

00:43:15What you're going to do

00:43:16is invite her to go

00:43:17as your date

00:43:18and then you're going

00:43:18to propose to her publicly.

00:43:20Tell her she'll get

00:43:21more support from the board

00:43:22if she's married

00:43:23with a husband.

00:43:23We can use the engagement

00:43:25to shift public focus

00:43:26away from her form.

00:43:28Kill two birds

00:43:29with one stone.

00:43:29I like that.

00:43:30Exactly.

00:43:31The media will be there

00:43:32and she won't reject you

00:43:33in front of everyone.

00:43:34There's no way

00:43:35she risks tanking

00:43:35the company's stock prices again.

00:43:42Elena.

00:43:43I was hoping

00:43:44I would be able

00:43:45to escort you

00:43:46to the company dinner

00:43:47this weekend.

00:43:50I told you

00:43:50Mr. Vegas

00:43:51would be chasing this person.

00:43:52He's bad for ages.

00:43:54His persistence

00:43:54is kind of impressive.

00:44:04Chad, I...

00:44:05Elena, trust me.

00:44:07I can help you

00:44:08win over a couple

00:44:09more board members

00:44:10for the health care

00:44:10reform plan.

00:44:11Yeah.

00:44:16Yes, I would love

00:44:17to go to dinner.

00:44:19Great.

00:44:20See you later.

00:44:20How do I look?

00:44:42You look beautiful.

00:44:44You know,

00:44:44I don't know

00:44:45if you have to dress

00:44:45so formally.

00:44:48Are you jealous?

00:44:50I just don't think

00:44:51that that guy

00:44:52deserves

00:44:54all of this.

00:45:01Oh, speak of the double.

00:45:04Beautiful.

00:45:06Elena, we should get going.

00:45:07We're going to be late.

00:45:08And, uh...

00:45:10Ace.

00:45:11Remember your place.

00:45:12Okay, there, sport?

00:45:14You're the bodyguard.

00:45:16So make sure

00:45:17you keep a professional

00:45:18distance

00:45:19between you

00:45:19and your employer, yeah?

00:45:20Yeah.

00:45:20Elena's health care

00:45:36reform plan

00:45:36might have

00:45:37some short-term losses,

00:45:38but I believe

00:45:40the long-term benefits

00:45:41far outweigh

00:45:42the small

00:45:43drawbacks.

00:45:45Forget about that

00:45:46for a moment.

00:45:46What we're really

00:45:47curious about

00:45:48is how far

00:45:49you two have gotten.

00:45:51Given the company's

00:45:53current PR crisis,

00:45:54announcing a wedding

00:45:55might actually

00:45:56help repair its image.

00:45:58Elena,

00:45:59Chad seems like

00:46:00an excellent match.

00:46:01Oh, um,

00:46:03Mr. and Mrs. Hans,

00:46:04you're mistaken.

00:46:05Chad and I are...

00:46:05Thank you for your blessing

00:46:07and we'll seriously

00:46:07consider it.

00:46:12Our company

00:46:13has faced

00:46:14challenges recently,

00:46:16but

00:46:17on this

00:46:18special night,

00:46:20our new CEO,

00:46:21Ms. Elena Pearson,

00:46:23would like to say

00:46:24a few words.

00:46:28Before Ms. Pearson

00:46:29says anything,

00:46:31I have a surprise for her.

00:46:35I have a surprise for her.

00:46:38Elena,

00:46:38I have loved you

00:46:39for so long.

00:46:39Will you marry me?

00:46:55Marry him!

00:46:57Marry him!

00:46:58Marry him!

00:46:59Marry him!

00:47:01Marry him!

00:47:02Marry him!

00:47:04Marry him!

00:47:05Marry him!

00:47:06Chad, stand up.

00:47:07What are you doing?

00:47:08Come on, let's go.

00:47:12We're leaving.

00:47:30What the hell are you doing?

00:47:32Storming out like that

00:47:33in front of all those guests.

00:47:34You've realized how bad

00:47:35you're making the company's image.

00:47:36Oh, really?

00:47:37So what, you're going to just

00:47:38marry that guy

00:47:39to save the company's image?

00:47:41That's ridiculous.

00:47:42Who I marry

00:47:42is none of your business.

00:47:45We're over, Ace.

00:47:46You're just my bodyguard.

00:47:47You don't get to

00:47:47interfere with my life.

00:47:49You don't mean that.

00:47:51You don't love that guy.

00:47:52You barely fucking know him.

00:47:53Who I love

00:47:54is none of your concern.

00:47:57Don't pretend to care

00:47:58about me, Ace Atkins,

00:47:59when you push me away

00:48:01over and over again.

00:48:02Even if I'd said yes

00:48:04to Chad's proposal,

00:48:04you would have nothing

00:48:05to do with it

00:48:06and you couldn't stop me.

00:48:17Elena!

00:48:18Elena, why are you?

00:48:22Elena, are you in there?

00:48:23Tell him you're busy.

00:48:29Make him leave.

00:48:32Tell him you're busy.

00:48:33Make him leave.

00:48:34I'll be out in a minute.

00:49:00Are you sure you're okay?

00:49:01Okay.

00:49:01Yeah, I'm fine.

00:49:05Just...

00:49:06Just go.

00:49:23Ace,

00:49:24you're a bastard.

00:49:26Look,

00:49:26I'm sorry about that,

00:49:28but that guy

00:49:28doesn't fucking deserve you.

00:49:29Oh, and you do?

00:49:30You abandoned me.

00:49:33We were supposed

00:49:33to get married.

00:49:35You have no right

00:49:36to say that to me.

00:49:38What do you think

00:49:38is going on here?

00:49:40Do you think

00:49:41that I don't love you?

00:49:43I mean,

00:49:43do you have any fucking idea

00:49:44how much I...

00:49:45Elena!

00:49:46Who's in there with you?

00:49:47How much what?

00:49:48What are you saying?

00:49:52How much...

00:49:52How much what?

00:49:53What are you saying?

00:49:54Elena!

00:49:56What do you think?

00:49:57What are you two doing in here?

00:50:03I could ask you the same question, Chad.

00:50:06You told me it was just a date

00:50:07to the gala,

00:50:08and then you go and pull

00:50:09that stunt out there?

00:50:10Proposing in front of everyone?

00:50:12What?

00:50:13Have you lost your mind?

00:50:13Elena,

00:50:14I have been pursuing you

00:50:15for so long,

00:50:16and you've never rejected me.

00:50:18So,

00:50:18that has to mean

00:50:20that you feel the same way.

00:50:22What?

00:50:23I haven't said anything.

00:50:24You need to go out

00:50:25and tell the people the truth.

00:50:26What's the difference?

00:50:27Hmm?

00:50:28Everybody already thinks

00:50:29that you're my fiancé now.

00:50:31Since you never rejected me,

00:50:33it's clear that you like me.

00:50:34It's only natural

00:50:35for us to be together.

00:50:36Hey,

00:50:36don't step closer.

00:50:38And who the hell are you?

00:50:40You're just a fucking bodyguard!

00:50:43Don't think I don't see

00:50:44what's happening.

00:50:45Acting all on your high horse,

00:50:47but deep down,

00:50:48you're just a slut

00:50:49sleeping with your bodyguard.

00:50:50Bravo.

00:50:59Bravo.

00:51:00You two are the perfect pair

00:51:01of adulterers.

00:51:02Hey,

00:51:02this must be nice,

00:51:03huh?

00:51:03Living with your boss,

00:51:05sleeping with her on the side.

00:51:06Shut the fuck up.

00:51:07Is it matter?

00:51:07You struck a nerve?

00:51:09Elena,

00:51:09you have the audacity

00:51:11to accuse me

00:51:13of damaging the company?

00:51:16Take a look in the mirror.

00:51:16You're the CEO

00:51:18sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.

00:51:20You're the real disgrace

00:51:21of the piercing group.

00:51:26You see that girl right there?

00:51:28There's no one in the world

00:51:29that I love more than her.

00:51:31You're not going to disrespect her.

00:51:32You show face around here again,

00:51:33I'm going to fuck you too.

00:51:34You understand?

00:51:35Do you understand?

00:51:36Do you understand?

00:51:36You, you left me?

00:51:52Did you mean what you said?

00:51:55Please just tell me the truth.

00:51:58That's all it takes

00:51:59for us to start over.

00:52:02No, Elena.

00:52:04I can't be with you.

00:52:05I'm just a man

00:52:06with a prosthetic.

00:52:08I'm not whole.

00:52:08I'll never be enough for you.

00:52:10That was just impulsive.

00:52:11I shouldn't have said that.

00:52:12I'm sorry.

00:52:14You're lying.

00:52:16You still keep a photo

00:52:17of us in your wallet.

00:52:19You'd risk your life for me.

00:52:21You'd stay up all night

00:52:22to protect me.

00:52:23That is not just

00:52:24a bodyguard doing his job.

00:52:25That is something more

00:52:26and you know it.

00:52:28Moments ago,

00:52:29right here,

00:52:29you said that you loved me

00:52:31more than anyone else

00:52:32in the world.

00:52:33It's...

00:52:34Why won't you admit

00:52:37that you still love me?

00:52:39Elena, look.

00:52:44Look.

00:52:47I'm here to guard you.

00:52:49I'm your bodyguard.

00:52:52I shouldn't have crossed the line.

00:52:53I'm sorry.

00:52:55Now, let's go.

00:52:57Stay away for a night.

00:53:00Elena.

00:53:03I'm sorry, Elena.

00:53:05I can't hold you back.

00:53:06You deserve better

00:53:07than a broken man

00:53:08like myself.

00:53:09I can't handle one woman.

00:53:15I can't handle one woman.

00:53:16Absolutely useless.

00:53:18That bitch!

00:53:18Screw your bodyguard

00:53:19the whole damn time!

00:53:20What do you want me to do?

00:53:21That pathetic

00:53:22freaking loser!

00:53:25I'm gonna kill him.

00:53:28It's only a matter of time.

00:53:29If that's the case,

00:53:31there's only one option left.

00:53:34We want Pearson Group.

00:53:35We're going to have to eliminate her.

00:53:38Just like we did her father.

00:53:40You think you can fix everything

00:53:54that these little tricks

00:53:55won't work, Ace?

00:53:57It's your favorite.

00:53:59French toast.

00:54:01Been up since six,

00:54:02making sure everything was perfect.

00:54:04I know it's been a while,

00:54:05so I hope it tastes like

00:54:07how you remember it.

00:54:10Oliver, what are you doing here?

00:54:26This is a signed first edition.

00:54:30Mr. Atkins went through

00:54:32several of his connections

00:54:33to track that down for you.

00:54:37And while you were at your meetings,

00:54:39he took it upon himself

00:54:41to redecorate your entire office.

00:54:51Do you really think gestures like these

00:54:53are going to make me forgive you?

00:54:57I just want you to be happy.

00:55:00Elena,

00:55:01whether you forgive me or not

00:55:03doesn't really matter.

00:55:04You have every right to hate me

00:55:06and to push me away

00:55:07if that's what you want.

00:55:09But please,

00:55:10just don't let this anger

00:55:12eat away at you.

00:55:14It wasn't your fault.

00:55:16None of it was.

00:55:18It was mine.

00:55:21Don't think you've won me over.

00:55:22I haven't forgiven you yet.

00:55:26Don't think you've won me over.

00:55:27I haven't forgiven you yet.

00:55:30Go make me a coffee.

00:55:32I have a meeting soon.

00:55:39Ms. Pearson,

00:55:41if I may say,

00:55:43Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.

00:55:47And from the way you look at him,

00:55:49it's clear you feel the same way.

00:55:52So why not just be together?

00:55:55Homer,

00:55:55you don't understand.

00:55:56Every time I take a step forward,

00:55:58I take two steps back.

00:56:01It's not that simple.

00:56:03Well,

00:56:03then maybe you should

00:56:04take the lead.

00:56:07Valentine's Day

00:56:08is right around the corner.

00:56:10Why not use the occasion

00:56:12to clear the air

00:56:13and finally

00:56:15talk it through?

00:56:19Maybe.

00:56:20Maybe you should

00:56:32take the lead.

00:56:35The first gift

00:56:36I ever gave Ace

00:56:37was a motorcycle

00:56:38and he loved it.

00:56:40Ace, stay here.

00:56:41I have a surprise for you.

00:56:47All right,

00:56:48and your order

00:56:48will be delivered tonight.

00:56:49Thank you so much.

00:56:50Thank you for shopping

00:56:51with us, Ms. Pearson.

00:56:52All right.

00:56:52Bye.

00:56:53Bye.

00:57:03Bye.

00:57:05Bye.

00:57:06Bye.

00:57:07Bye.

00:57:09Bye.

00:57:15Bye.

00:57:18Bye.

00:57:19Oh, fuck.

00:57:47Josh.

00:57:48Josh.

00:57:49Elena's been taken.

00:57:51Activate the tracking system.

00:57:52Get the cops involved.

00:57:53I'll go on after her.

00:58:06Who are you?

00:58:08Look at this.

00:58:08It's about the company's healthcare reforms that I promised you.

00:58:11I'm proposing a new plan.

00:58:13It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.

00:58:16Shut your mouth.

00:58:17This isn't about healthcare.

00:58:20You got it all wrong.

00:58:21What?

00:58:28My uncle hired you?

00:58:30He paid you to kill my dad?

00:58:32Ding, ding, ding.

00:58:33It took you long enough to figure out.

00:58:36Daddy's little girl is so clever.

00:58:38Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head.

00:58:46Okay, I'll sign.

00:58:48But you have to let me go after.

00:58:50Good.

00:58:51Sign it.

00:58:53Then you're free to go.

00:58:55He's lying.

00:58:56As soon as I sign, he'll kill me.

00:58:58Think, Elena.

00:58:59Think.

00:59:00Hurry up.

00:59:02Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.

00:59:07Okay?

00:59:07No, I don't want to die.

00:59:20Please, Ace, save me.

00:59:24Now that this job is completed, I can never have to worry about money ever again.

00:59:31Good job.

00:59:32Drop your weapon or I'll bowl her brains out.

00:59:54Ace, don't do it.

00:59:56Drop your weapon!

01:00:02Good job.

01:00:05Close your eyes and walk toward me.

01:00:07Good.

01:00:19No!

01:00:22No!

01:00:24No!

01:00:28No!

01:00:29No!

01:00:32Are you crazy?

01:00:34He had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after him.

01:00:38I thought I lost you.

01:00:40It's going to be okay.

01:00:43I knew exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.

01:00:47It's over.

01:00:57Who sent you?

01:00:58Okay, just get me a medic.

01:01:02I don't want to die.

01:01:03You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers.

01:01:06So talk!

01:01:09It's Houston.

01:01:11He paid me to kill Carter.

01:01:13The kid I'm a leader.

01:01:15There's proof.

01:01:16Where?

01:01:16My left jacket pocket.

01:01:18Just check it!

01:01:19It's that idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.

01:01:32Why would he murder his own brother?

01:01:34My father's been nothing but kind to him.

01:01:41It comes out of the way.

01:01:44Everything's fine.

01:01:45Because I don't understand.

01:01:47Houston was the company's second largest shareholder.

01:01:50What more could he possibly want?

01:01:52Why would he murder my father?

01:01:56And in front of me, too?

01:01:58I'm going to have to live with that image scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life.

01:02:04Some people just want more.

01:02:06And it's never enough.

01:02:07They're just greedy and they're monsters and you never have to think about them again, okay?

01:02:10It's over.

01:02:12It's over.

01:02:13It's over.

01:02:15I'm going to go home.

01:02:19Hey, let's go.

01:02:20Okay.

01:02:31Please pull over.

01:02:33What's wrong?

01:02:35Your arm, it's bleeding.

01:02:37Didn't you notice?

01:02:38No, I didn't notice.

01:02:39It must have happened during the fight.

01:02:41You're unbelievable.

01:02:42It's fine.

01:02:46Just pull over right up there.

01:02:47It's fine.

01:02:48No, I'll take care of it.

01:02:49We'll stop for a bit.

01:02:50Please.

01:03:02Please.

01:03:02Why did you cheat on me all those years ago?

01:03:07Why not?

01:03:07Come on.

01:03:08Tell me the truth.

01:03:08or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel it.

01:03:19Hey, look, I screwed up.

01:03:21But that's in the past.

01:03:23I just want to move forward, okay?

01:03:26Please be honest with me.

01:03:27Do you still love me?

01:03:29Come on, don't try and dodge the question.

01:03:32Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't.

01:03:35You charged right in to save me.

01:03:37If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.

01:03:44I love you.

01:03:45Always had, never stopped, not even for a second.

01:03:49I believe you this time.

01:03:52I'll start fresh.

01:03:54I love you, Elena.

01:03:55I've always loved you.

01:03:57Come here.

01:03:57Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.

01:04:08I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.

01:04:12Today we're here to talk about my health care reform strategy.

01:04:22You can't even handle your personal life.

01:04:25The news came out, and this company's stock prices fell another five points.

01:04:30And yet you still think you can push through reforms.

01:04:33I'm the first to object.

01:04:35Elena, do you know how the other health care companies are mocking us?

01:04:38They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.

01:04:45Uncle 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?

01:04:55Like hiring someone to kill my father.

01:05:02Like hiring someone to kill my father.

01:05:09That's slander.

01:05:10Your father was killed by an angry citizen who is dissatisfied with the current health care system.

01:05:15What does that have to do with me?

01:05:21Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson, and the $5 million is yours.

01:05:25I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson, and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.

01:05:42I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.

01:05:49You murdered my father and tried to kill me.

01:05:52You need to pay for your crimes.

01:05:54You need to pay for your crimes.

01:05:56Who do you think you are?

01:05:58Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?

01:06:00I gave everything to this company.

01:06:03Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson, inherit this company?

01:06:08What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?

01:06:11This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology that increased our claim denial rate to 40%, the highest in the industry.

01:06:21And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this.

01:06:25He deserved to die.

01:06:26Every accomplishment you've made has been riding off to the coattails of struggling people and my father's life.

01:06:34And you show no remorse for them.

01:06:36You're a monster.

01:06:39Don't move.

01:06:44Raise your hands.

01:06:47Houston Pearson, you're on arrest for first degree murder.

01:06:50Now does anyone else have anything to say?

01:07:20All those in favor of implementing my health care reform strategy, raise your hand.

01:07:48Very well.

01:07:49It seems the majority has voted yes.

01:07:52I declare that the health care reform plan, with the slogan, deliver, declare, and disclose, has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.

01:08:03Congratulations on the huge success of the health care reform.

01:08:22Congratulations on the huge success of the health care reform.

01:08:26Bring it in, guys.

01:08:27Congrats, you two.

01:08:31Looks like you guys are officially back together.

01:08:34Should I be planning your reunion party?

01:08:36Yeah, that's enough.

01:08:37Oh, Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.

01:08:43Aww.

01:08:46Thank you so much, guys.

01:08:48If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my health care reform plan would have passed.

01:08:54Especially you, Ace.

01:08:57I don't know what I would have done without you.

01:08:59Well, I'll, um, always be your rock.

01:09:07Cheers!

01:09:09Heck yeah.

01:09:09Hey.

01:09:22Hey.

01:09:24Were you looking for me?

01:09:25Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal, and he's trying to make everyone join him.

01:09:32Oliver's keeping an eye on him.

01:09:35I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.

01:09:38I guess I have to reserve all my energy for you.

01:09:43All right.

01:09:46Mr. Atkins, your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.

01:09:51What's next on your agenda?

01:09:53I have a few ideas.

01:09:54I have a few ideas.

01:10:24What's wrong?

01:10:31What's wrong?

01:10:32Nothing.

01:10:33Just, um...

01:10:37I don't know if we're in the right place or if it's the right time.

01:10:43What?

01:10:43After everything we've been through, Ace, I thought we were past this.

01:10:48I know, but I, uh...

01:10:50But what?

01:10:55I just, uh...

01:10:56I don't think we should rush into this.

01:10:58I think we should think this through, okay?

01:11:00You're a jerk.

01:11:01God, I'm an asshole.

01:11:11Why does he keep pushing me away?

01:11:12Who's wrong?

01:11:22I don't think I'll do it.

01:11:24I don't know.

01:11:25Let's go.

01:11:26It's okay, it's okay, he's dead, it's over.

01:11:56Oh my god, Miss Pearson, I'm going to call an ambulance.

01:12:07Is he gonna be okay, doctor?

01:12:10Don't tell Elena about it, my prosthetic leg.

01:12:26Alright, I respect your wishes.

01:12:32Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.

01:12:36His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.

01:12:41Thank you, doctor.

01:12:43By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.

01:12:47Okay, I'll go there now then.

01:12:53Officer, what's going on with the assassin?

01:12:55Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?

01:12:59According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives, has been involved in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.

01:13:11The killer was hired by him.

01:13:13What? Chad was in cahoots with Houston?

01:13:17Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.

01:13:21You can rest assured that, with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.

01:13:26Are you safe?

01:13:28Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are gonna offer you protection until the trial is over.

01:13:36You can rest.

01:13:38I'm gonna pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.

01:13:42Ace?

01:13:43Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete, and you're no longer in danger.

01:13:59So it's time for me to leave.

01:14:01I just wanted to say goodbye, and I wish you all the best.

01:14:05Ace.

01:14:06What the hell?

01:14:08You're leaving me again?

01:14:10I won't let you leave without an explanation.

01:14:38It's her.

01:14:39The woman that Ace cheated on me with.

01:14:42So you're a physical therapist?

01:14:45That's your daughter and husband?

01:14:47Yes.

01:14:49I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.

01:14:52You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?

01:14:55This involves Ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.

01:15:00But Alina, I assure you, Ace did not betray you.

01:15:04Then why?

01:15:05Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?

01:15:10I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.

01:15:14But I think that deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.

01:15:19He's just too afraid to tell you.

01:15:22Alina?

01:15:23What are you doing here?

01:15:24Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital and he just left me a note.

01:15:34Do you know where he is?

01:15:35What?

01:15:36Does he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?

01:15:42What do you mean prosthetic leg?

01:15:46What do you mean prosthetic leg?

01:15:49Oh man.

01:15:50I wasn't supposed to say that.

01:15:52Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?

01:15:55All right.

01:15:57Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.

01:16:01Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.

01:16:05So, he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.

01:16:09Later, after you got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.

01:16:14He thought a great girl like you deserved it better.

01:16:17So, he avoided you at critical moments.

01:16:20Go check out the rehabilitation center.

01:16:25He's getting his new prosthetic leg fit right now.

01:16:28Go find him, Alina.

01:16:30Ace, you jerk.

01:16:32How could you keep something so important from me?

01:16:34This time, I won't let you go.

01:16:36I won't let you walk away again.

01:16:38Fortunately, you came in time.

01:16:42The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.

01:16:45With treatment, you should recover naturally.

01:16:48This one is newly made for you. Try it.

01:16:51Thanks.

01:17:08This is the secret you've been keeping for me?

01:17:15This is why you've been pushing me away?

01:17:18What are you doing here?

01:17:19You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.

01:17:21This is why you've been pushing me away?

01:17:22What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.

01:17:35This is why you've been pushing me away?

01:17:40Elena, you shouldn't be seeing me like this. I need you to leave right now.

01:17:47Why wouldn't you just tell me?

01:17:50Do you really think that little of me?

01:17:53That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?

01:17:56How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena? How...

01:17:58I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?

01:18:05Huh?

01:18:06I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.

01:18:10I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?

01:18:11I mean, just fucking look at me, Elena! I can't even stand up straight!

01:18:14But I love you!

01:18:16Ace, can't you see?

01:18:21No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you! Always!

01:18:31Elena, come on, why?

01:18:33Stop pushing me away!

01:18:36Ace Atkins, you listen to me right now.

01:18:42You have left me so many times.

01:18:46You can't keep running from me.

01:18:48I am here to stay!

01:18:51Got it?

01:18:53I love you so much. I'm sorry.

01:18:55I'm sorry.

01:19:13Nothing feels uncomfortable?

01:19:15Mom, don't try and be tough.

01:19:17No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.

01:19:20So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.

01:19:25I'm disabled and I might become a burden to you when we're older.

01:19:30Have you thought about that?

01:19:31If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.

01:19:38I love Ace Atkins. The person, not the leg.

01:19:43So what if you're missing a leg? I will love you all the same.

01:19:46Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?

01:19:49No. No, of course not. I will always be by your side.

01:19:57Then let me do the same.

01:20:01I am choosing you, okay?

01:20:03Okay?

01:20:06Got it.

01:20:07Miss Pearson, your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life.

01:20:27Miss Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success, making you the most popular CEO in the U.S.

01:20:36What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?

01:20:39I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great planning, but also because of my fiancée, Ace Atkins.

01:20:52His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
