00:05:04the attack may be related

00:05:08is preparing to implement
00:05:09for now
00:05:10the gunman remains at large
00:05:11while Elena Pearson
00:05:12the victim's daughter
00:05:13is set to take over as CEO
00:05:15clean that up
00:05:26good morning gentlemen
00:05:34I called this emergency meeting
00:05:35to make an important announcement
00:05:36I will be continuing
00:05:38to advance healthcare reform
00:05:39the goal
00:05:41is to ensure all patients
00:05:43receive fair
00:05:44insurance coverage
00:05:45and to make healthcare
00:05:47more affordable
00:05:47for everyone
00:05:48my plan
00:05:50hell with your shit plan
00:05:54you're giving all your profits
00:05:56to these poor people
00:05:57I reject it
00:05:58Uncle Houston
00:05:59poor healthcare policies
00:06:00have led to my father's death
00:06:01my plans are implemented
00:06:03to correct these wrongs
00:06:05no matter what you say
00:06:06I will never
00:06:07ever
00:06:08change my mind
00:06:09oh really
00:06:10you think you can control
00:06:12the entire group
00:06:13I'm not the only one
00:06:15who gets this bullshit plan
00:06:16I mean
00:06:20you know
00:06:21you know
00:06:23but
00:06:23and
00:06:25and
00:06:27and
00:06:27I
00:06:31you
00:06:36know
00:06:40Looks like you all need some more training still.
00:06:59You've got a long way to go.
00:07:03Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform, or will she be next on the assassin's list?
00:07:07Hey, Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:11Ace, you're listening to all the common. You could totally assign someone else to handle Lena's case.
00:07:17So you heard the news, too, huh? Think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh?
00:07:22I'll handle it.
00:07:23Lena, today, you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:07:37We will vote to dismiss you as CEO. Simple as that.
00:07:40Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:07:43Have you lost your mind? Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:07:56No one here will testify against me. Just sign the damn paper.
00:08:00Are you all going to let him do this?
00:08:02Lena, you're asking us to throw our money away in those lowlifes.
00:08:05Don't blame us because we're not picking your side.
00:08:07Okay.
00:08:13Tyrus, come on.
00:08:27Get your hands off her.
00:08:29No way. That voice. It can't be him.
00:08:34It can't be him.
00:08:35Yeah!
00:08:43Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:08:49I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:08:51It's been three years.
00:08:53I've missed you, Lena.
00:08:54You're my what?
00:08:55Jesus, Lena.
00:08:56Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:08:59Stupid or something?
00:09:02You insult my boss again.
00:09:04You're going to be the one that needs some fucking healthcare.
00:09:07Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:09:13Look, leave or you're fired. I don't give a shit. You're my uncle.
00:09:17There's only one way to deal with people like you, Lena.
00:09:19And that's to get rid of them.
00:09:21Just like I got rid of your father.
00:09:26What are you doing here?
00:09:28No one told me anything about needing personal bodyguard.
00:09:31Miss Pearson, Mr. Atkins, I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:09:38Miss, Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.
00:09:44Now, as per the contract, he will provide you protection 24 hours to ensure your safety at all times.
00:09:53No.
00:09:56I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:09:57I won't have him as my bodyguard.
00:10:01Oliver, you can get me literally anyone else.
00:10:04Anyone but him.
00:10:05Ma'am, I urge you to rethink this.
00:10:08With him around, your safety is practically guaranteed.
00:10:13Oliver, can you leave us alone for a minute? I need to talk to him.
00:10:16Yes, ma'am.
00:10:20Ace, what are you doing here?
00:10:22I was just making sure that you were safe.
00:10:23The healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now, and, uh, well, I was worried about you.
00:10:30We broke up three years ago.
00:10:31You cheated on me.
00:10:32You don't have the right to be worried about me.
00:10:35The last thing I need right now is you being my bodyguard.
00:10:39The contract's already signed, so I'll just cover the termination fee.
00:10:42Now go.
00:10:43I don't really understand why you're refusing all of this help.
00:10:46Okay.
00:10:53Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:10:56Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:10:58You're delusional.
00:11:00Elena.
00:11:04The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now, so just let me protect you.
00:11:09Only an idiot wouldn't trust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:11:14Let go.
00:11:19Take me home.
00:11:19I'll light it.
00:11:27Asshole.
00:11:28You broke my heart.
00:11:29Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:11:36That's odd.
00:11:38I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:11:46Someone broke in.
00:11:48The killer?
00:11:48Why so surprised, princess?
00:12:11Didn't you know you were going to be next?
00:12:12No.
00:12:16I don't want to die, please.
00:12:17Someone help me.
00:12:38No.
00:12:39No.
00:12:40No.
00:12:41No.
00:12:41No.
00:12:41No.
00:12:42No.
00:12:42Rachel.
00:12:54Oh, God!
00:12:56I thought I was going to die.
00:13:00You're safe.
00:13:02You're hurt. You're all right?
00:13:04You saved me.
00:13:06Mace.
00:13:08You're bleeding.
00:13:12He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even harder than he used to be.
00:13:18She's still got that same glow.
00:13:20God, I missed her.
00:13:22Do you remember the last time we were in the bathroom?
00:13:38He's hard.
00:13:40Yes, we know.
00:13:46That guy got you in the leg too, right?
00:13:48I should wrap that up.
00:13:50He tried to stab me in the leg and he missed.
00:13:54It's fine.
00:13:55I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:14:00Is there something wrong?
00:14:02It's fine.
00:14:03Okay.
00:14:10I'm going to talk about that.
00:14:12I've been looking for the window.
00:14:14I'm not going to lie.
00:14:16I'm looking for the window.
00:14:18I don't know how to do this.
00:14:20I'm not going to be able to messes all the way.
00:14:22I know how to make this up.
00:14:24I'll be able to make this up without a day.
00:14:26Oh, my.
00:14:37Am I interrupting?
00:14:39No, no.
00:14:41Ace cut himself, and I was just helping him address the wound.
00:14:48Mr. Atkins, I brought your luggage up.
00:14:52Wait, he's not staying with me.
00:14:54Why, yes, Miss Pearson, of course.
00:14:58That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:15:01The contract clearly states that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7 to ensure your safety.
00:15:10Oliver, it's not just about the contract.
00:15:12I can't...
00:15:13I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:15:17You must understand.
00:15:20You might very well be the next target.
00:15:22But if you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:15:30Fine.
00:15:32I'll let you win.
00:15:33Brilliant.
00:15:35Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hand.
00:15:41I'll take a bullet for her.
00:15:55Anne.
00:15:58You're the first door on the left.
00:16:00You can stay there.
00:16:01I'll wait, I can...
00:16:02Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:16:04Um, we broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:16:08Now, if you're going to be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries.
00:16:12So, here's how it's going to go.
00:16:14You are going to do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm going to live my life.
00:16:18Nothing else.
00:16:19Is that clear?
00:16:21Crystal.
00:16:23I can unpack my stuff.
00:16:25Is this his wallet?
00:16:47You said you never left me, so why do you have a phone with me inside your wallet?
00:16:51I don't know.
00:16:55I checked the house.
00:16:59It's all clear.
00:17:00Safe to sleep.
00:17:01Great.
00:17:02Thanks.
00:17:03I'm going to go to bed now.
00:17:25AHH!
00:17:27Shit!
00:17:35Sorry.
00:17:37I thought you were in danger.
00:17:39Just hand me that towel!
00:17:41It's not like I haven't seen you.
00:17:59Be professional.
00:18:04I'm still your boss, remember?
00:18:09Yes, ma'am.
00:18:31You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:18:33And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:18:39Hey, I have some scar cream for you.
00:18:52Yeah, just hold on a second.
00:18:54One minute.
00:18:56Yeah, what's up?
00:19:03Just have something for scars.
00:19:06I can put it on.
00:19:08Great.
00:19:09I'm surprised that you still show this much care for me still.
00:19:24Get over yourself.
00:19:26You're just helping you because I'm nice.
00:19:29Ina, calm yourself.
00:19:30He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:19:34Okay.
00:19:37Then...
00:19:45Okay, what is with you and this blanket?
00:19:47I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:19:49I think it's fine.
00:19:52Just sitting.
00:19:53That's how I sit.
00:19:55I call BS.
00:19:56Let me see it.
00:19:57I'm hiding something under there.
00:20:12Maybe I'm hiding the owner.
00:20:14See it.
00:20:16You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:20:25You're my bodyguard.
00:20:26You should keep things professional.
00:20:37You're right, Elena.
00:20:39I'm just your bodyguard.
00:20:49Elena.
00:20:50I want you to put this on.
00:20:51It's lightweight.
00:20:52You won't even feel it.
00:20:53I'm not wearing that.
00:20:55You can either do it yourself,
00:20:56or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:20:58And I could do it.
00:21:00And if you ask me, I'd prefer the latter.
00:21:02Look, I can do it myself.
00:21:10Yeah?
00:21:11I got it.
00:21:28Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:21:31Too tight.
00:21:35Okay.
00:21:36I have to go.
00:21:37I'm late for work.
00:21:39Yes, ma'am.
00:21:44I'm assuming your assassination didn't go as planned?
00:21:46That idiot calls himself a hitman.
00:21:48He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:21:51Chad?
00:21:52I'm leaving this to you.
00:21:54Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb,
00:21:56and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:21:58Consider it done.
00:22:04Jesus, Chad.
00:22:05How many times have I told you to knock?
00:22:07What do you want?
00:22:09You owe me dinner, remember?
00:22:11I remember.
00:22:12But I'm swamped from work and planning a funeral,
00:22:15so can we take a brain check?
00:22:16Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:22:18You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:22:21This is how people get burned down.
00:22:22You need to take some time off to relax.
00:22:24Yeah.
00:22:25You know what?
00:22:26Let's do dinner.
00:22:27Great.
00:22:28Sir, this is a table for two.
00:22:43Why don't you go sit over there?
00:22:44Sir, this is a table for two.
00:22:57Why don't you go sit over there?
00:23:13I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:18I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times,
00:23:22but thanks for checking in.
00:23:32Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:23:33You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:23:34Go ahead.
00:23:4082 Lafite.
00:23:41Your favorite.
00:23:42I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:23:45Here, have a taste.
00:23:50Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:23:52I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:23:55Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Atlanta's bodyguard,
00:23:59I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the jug now.
00:24:05My apologies.
00:24:07I'll let you know.
00:24:11I know how tough it's been for you.
00:24:13And I want you to know that I'm here for you.
00:24:16Always.
00:24:18And that my heart belongs to you.
00:24:23Sorry, Chad.
00:24:24I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:24:26Um.
00:24:28Can we eat?
00:24:29Starving.
00:24:30Yeah.
00:24:31Sam.
00:24:34A mango salad.
00:24:35God.
00:24:38Oh, hey, Sam.
00:24:39Sorry about that.
00:24:40She actually doesn't like mangoes.
00:24:42You mind bringing out another plate without them?
00:24:44He still remembers?
00:24:46I'll see what I can do about that.
00:24:51Wait, didn't you two just me?
00:24:53How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:24:56How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:24:59Well, we actually go way back.
00:25:01And I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference on mangoes.
00:25:04He's my bodyguard.
00:25:05Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know.
00:25:08I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:25:14Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:25:26What was that tonight?
00:25:27If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:25:31What was that tonight?
00:25:32If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:25:36What was that tonight?
00:25:37If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:25:41I just didn't think so.
00:25:42You ever think about that?
00:25:43How could I forget?
00:25:44Right, and you shattered my heart.
00:25:45I don't know.
00:25:46Save it!
00:25:47I'll just go home.
00:25:48Your funeral preparation's to make anyway.
00:25:50I'm sorry, Elena.
00:25:51I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:25:52I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:25:53Elena!
00:25:54Elena!
00:25:55Elena!
00:25:56Elena!
00:25:57Elena!
00:25:58Elena!
00:25:59Elena!
00:26:00Elena!
00:26:01Elena!
00:26:02Elena!
00:26:03Elena!
00:26:04Elena!
00:26:05Elena!
00:26:06Elena!
00:26:07Elena!
00:26:08Elena!
00:26:09Elena!
00:26:10Elena!
00:26:11Elena!
00:26:12Elena!
00:26:13Elena!
00:26:14Elena!
00:26:15Elena!
00:26:16Elena!
00:26:17Dad!
00:26:18You're back!
00:26:19Ah!
00:26:20Ah!
00:26:21Ah!
00:26:22Ah!
00:26:23Ah!
00:26:24Ah!
00:26:25Ah!
00:26:26Ah!
00:26:27Ah!
00:26:28Ah!
00:26:29Ah!
00:26:30What's going on?
00:26:32I'm in the face.
00:26:33You're safe.
00:26:34Ah!
00:26:35It's fine.
00:26:36I'm here.
00:26:37Okay?
00:26:38You're safe.
00:26:39I had a dream about my dad.
00:26:42One second he was smiling at me and then...
00:26:45The next.
00:26:46I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:26:57Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:27:07You have a strong sport I've ever known.
00:27:10And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:27:13Besides, I'm gonna be right here all the time supporting you.
00:27:17Protecting you.
00:27:20Protecting me?
00:27:23Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:27:28Look, our relationship has in the past.
00:27:32But I would protect you with my life.
00:27:35I'd die for you.
00:27:37I need you to understand that.
00:27:40So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:27:44Stay with me.
00:27:45So you would die for me, but you won't love me.
00:28:11Stay with me.
00:28:12I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:28:18You're my bodyguard, and I'm scared.
00:28:24Stay with me, so I can feel safe.
00:28:42If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:28:51What are we doing here?
00:28:52I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:28:55You know, just in case.
00:28:57Always got to be prepared.
00:28:59What I mean is, in case I die first, and you're still in danger, you can...
00:29:04fight your way out.
00:29:07First case scenario.
00:29:08What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:29:19Um...
00:29:20No.
00:29:23All the pushing in the wall, it won't do anything.
00:29:26Try putting your hand on the more vulnerable place.
00:29:30That one there.
00:29:31Push as hard as you can.
00:29:39Right.
00:29:40Nice.
00:29:44All right.
00:29:45Second scenario.
00:29:47What if somebody...
00:29:49had you like this?
00:29:51It's just self-defense training.
00:30:03Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:30:09Um...
00:30:10I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:30:13Like...
00:30:14stomping on the foot.
00:30:15Very nice.
00:30:19You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:30:21Okay.
00:30:23Third scenario.
00:30:24You ready?
00:30:25All right.
00:30:28What?
00:30:33Someone's got you like this.
00:30:35Starts choking you.
00:30:37Um...
00:30:38You got to be quick.
00:30:39This...
00:30:41Use your hips.
00:30:44What?
00:30:45Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:30:47As hard as you can.
00:30:52Ace, are you okay?
00:30:54Did I hurt your leg?
00:30:55No.
00:30:55What was that sound?
00:31:00It didn't hurt my leg.
00:31:02It's fine.
00:31:02That was a good job.
00:31:04No, you're hurt.
00:31:06Let me...
00:31:06It's fine.
00:31:07That was good work, though.
00:31:08Seriously.
00:31:09Ace.
00:31:09The new security equipment just arrived.
00:31:11Can you come check it out?
00:31:12Yeah, sure.
00:31:12Thanks, Josh.
00:31:14Good job today.
00:31:16Seriously.
00:31:22That sound was weird.
00:31:26Ace is hiding something from me.
00:31:31Hi.
00:31:32Alina, right?
00:31:33I'm Josh.
00:31:35I used to serve with Ace in the military, but now we're colleagues.
00:31:38She talks about you a lot.
00:31:40Hi, Josh.
00:31:42I'm sorry.
00:31:43Can I ask...
00:31:44Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:31:49Huh?
00:31:50Leg?
00:31:51No.
00:31:52Not that I know of.
00:31:53You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:31:56Everyone here knows that there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:32:00And that person is you, Alina.
00:32:04You're mistaken.
00:32:05He...
00:32:06He doesn't love me.
00:32:07At all.
00:32:08If you knew him, then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:32:11You know, I might be just an outsider, but I know Ace.
00:32:16Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:32:19All right.
00:32:20I gotta go check out on Ace and the new equipment.
00:32:22It was nice meeting you all.
00:32:26Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:32:28What does that even mean?
00:32:29Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:32:31That thing looks great.
00:32:32Okay.
00:32:36Ace, Alina asked about your leg.
00:32:41What'd you say?
00:32:45What'd you say?
00:32:46Don't worry.
00:32:47I'd say worry.
00:32:48But, honestly, man, I think she still cares about you.
00:32:52Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:32:53I appreciate your input, Josh, but I think I know what's best for Alina, and I...
00:32:57Might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:33:00It's overdue for a replacement.
00:33:01If you keep stalling, you're going to damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:33:04You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:33:07I'm still on the job.
00:33:08I can't leave Alina alone.
00:33:10I think that would be very irresponsible of me, don't you think, Josh?
00:33:13Man, you're a hell of a romantic.
00:33:15You know that?
00:33:16Yeah, well, that makes one of us.
00:33:17Why don't you get the hell out of here, all right?
00:33:23Okay.
00:33:27Almighty God, in your mercy, turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life
00:33:38and the sorrow of parting into the joy of heaven,
00:33:42who our Savior, Jesus Christ, who died, rose again, and lives forevermore.
00:33:47Amen.
00:33:53My deepest condolences.
00:33:55May your father rest in peace.
00:33:57If your father knew that your reckless reforms would be tearing his company apart,
00:34:00he would never rest in peace.
00:34:02He was your brother.
00:34:04If you had even a shred of affection for him,
00:34:06you would never say something like that at his funeral.
00:34:09You know, Uncle Houston, I've always wondered.
00:34:11You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:34:14Could it be that you had something to do with his death?
00:34:19That is outrageous slander.
00:34:22How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral?
00:34:33Sorry for your loss.
00:34:44It's enough.
00:35:04It's enough.
00:35:04This was my father's favorite.
00:35:12I got it for him for his birthday, but he didn't even get a chance to drink it.
00:35:25Right here.
00:35:27Not going anywhere.
00:35:28Don't go.
00:35:45Can you promise you won't leave me again?
00:35:50Promise.
00:35:51I'll never leave you again.
00:35:52Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:35:57Someone that you can't forget.
00:35:59Is that someone me?
00:36:03Tell me, Ace.
00:36:11Yes.
00:36:12That someone is you.
00:36:15And it always has been.
00:36:16If you love me, then why did you break up with me?
00:36:18Look, it's been a long day.
00:36:19I don't think we should talk about it.
00:36:23I'm just going to end up hurting you.
00:36:25You did hurt me.
00:36:27Three years ago, I waited for you to come back and marry me.
00:36:31And then you left me for another woman.
00:36:33You broke my heart.
00:36:35And then you just walked back in my life like nothing happened.
00:36:39No.
00:36:40No.
00:36:48No.
00:36:54Oh my god, I drank too much.
00:37:20Did we sleep together?
00:37:23Shower?
00:37:24Did you get your breakfast?
00:37:27Last night, we...
00:37:30You were drunk. Very drunk. And took care of you. And that was it.
00:37:35He's not gonna mention the kiss? Jerk.
00:37:40Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:37:54You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:37:59Haven't you dealt with that bitchy-o-linga yet? She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:38:03She's hard to handle.
00:38:04A bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her. I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:38:09This will not do. She's been lobbying aggressively within the company. Some of the board are starting to support her reforms. If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:38:20What do you want me to do?
00:38:22The company's annual gala is this weekend. Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board, which you're going to do, is invite her to go as your date, and you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:38:33Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:38:36We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from her form. Killed two birds with one stone. I like that.
00:38:41Exactly. The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone. There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:38:52Elena!
00:38:54I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:39:00I told you, Mr. Vegas would be chasing his person.
00:39:02He's bad.
00:39:03Her age of his persistence is kind of impressive.
00:39:06Chad, I...
00:39:14Elena, trust me.
00:39:16I can help you win over a couple more board members for the health care reform plan.
00:39:23Yeah.
00:39:24Yes, I would love to go to dinner.
00:39:26Great. See you later.
00:39:36How do I look?
00:39:47You look beautiful.
00:39:49You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:39:53What, are you jealous?
00:39:54I just don't think that that guy deserves all of this.
00:40:05Oh, speak of the devil.
00:40:08Beautiful.
00:40:10Elena, we should get going. We're going to be late.
00:40:12And, uh, Ace, remember your place.
00:40:15Okay, there's a sport.
00:40:16You're the bodyguard.
00:40:17So, make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer, yeah?
00:40:36Elena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses.
00:40:38But I believe the long-term benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:40:45Forget about that for a moment.
00:40:46What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:40:51Given a company's current PR crisis,
00:40:53announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:40:56Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:41:00Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:41:03Chad and I are...
00:41:04Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:41:08Our company has faced challenges recently.
00:41:14But, on this special night,
00:41:17our new CEO, Ms. Elena Pearson, would like to say a few words.
00:41:24Before Ms. Pearson says anything,
00:41:27I have a surprise for her.
00:41:31I have a surprise for her.
00:41:33Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:41:38Will you marry me?
00:41:49Marry him!
00:41:50Marry him!
00:41:51Marry him!
00:41:53Marry him!
00:41:54Marry him!
00:41:55Marry him!
00:41:57Marry him!
00:41:58Marry him!
00:41:59John, stand up.
00:42:00What are you doing?
00:42:01I don't...
00:42:03Come on, let's go.
00:42:04We're leaving.
00:42:04Shh.
00:42:06Woo!
00:42:08What the hell are you doing?
00:42:23Starving out like that in front of all those guests.
00:42:24You realize how bad you're making the company's image look.
00:42:26Oh, really?
00:42:27So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:42:30That's ridiculous.
00:42:31Who I marry is none of your business.
00:42:34We're over, Ace.
00:42:35You're just my bodyguard.
00:42:36You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:42:37You don't mean that.
00:42:39You don't love that guy.
00:42:41You barely fucking know him.
00:42:42Who I love is none of your concern.
00:42:45Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins, when you push me away over and over again.
00:42:50Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal, you would have nothing to do with it.
00:42:53You couldn't stop me.
00:43:03Elena!
00:43:04Elena, where are you?
00:43:05Elena, are you in there?
00:43:12Tell him you're busy.
00:43:14Make him leave.
00:43:17Tell him you're busy.
00:43:18Make him leave.
00:43:19I'll be out in a minute.
00:43:41Are you sure you're okay?
00:43:43Yeah, I'm fine.
00:43:47Just...
00:43:48Just go.
00:43:49Go.
00:44:04Ace, you're a bastard.
00:44:06Okay.
00:44:07I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:44:09Owen, you do?
00:44:10You abandoned me.
00:44:12We were supposed to get married.
00:44:15You have no right to say that to me.
00:44:17What do you think's going on here?
00:44:19Do you think that I don't love you?
00:44:22I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much...
00:44:23Elena!
00:44:24Who's in there with you?
00:44:25How much what?
00:44:26What are you saying?
00:44:30How much what?
00:44:31What are you saying?
00:44:32Elena!
00:44:32What do you think?
00:44:34What are you two doing in here?
00:44:40I can ask you the same question, Chad.
00:44:43You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:44:47Proposing in front of everyone?
00:44:48What?
00:44:49Have you lost your mind?
00:44:50Elena, I have been here soon for so long, and you've never rejected me.
00:44:54So that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:44:57What?
00:44:58I haven't said anything.
00:44:59You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:45:01What's the difference?
00:45:02Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.
00:45:06Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.
00:45:09It's only natural for us to be together.
00:45:10Hey, don't step closer.
00:45:12And who the hell are you?
00:45:13You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:45:16Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:45:19Acting all on your high horse, but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:45:30Bravo!
00:45:31Bravo, you two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
00:45:34Thanks, must be nice, huh?
00:45:35I've been with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:45:38Shut the fuck up.
00:45:38It's a matter of strong nerve?
00:45:40Elena, you have the audacity to accuse me of damaging the company?
00:45:46Take a look in the mirror.
00:45:48You're the CEO sleeping with your fucking bodyguard.
00:45:50You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.
00:45:55You see that girl right there?
00:45:58There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:46:00You're not going to disrespect her.
00:46:01You show face around here again, I'm going to fucking kill her.
00:46:03You understand?
00:46:04Do you understand?
00:46:05You left me?
00:46:19Did you mean what you said?
00:46:22He's just telling me the truth.
00:46:24That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:46:26No, Elena.
00:46:30I can't be with you.
00:46:31I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:46:34I'm not whole.
00:46:34I'll never be enough for you.
00:46:36That was just impulsive.
00:46:37I shouldn't have said that.
00:46:38I'm sorry.
00:46:38You're lying.
00:46:41You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:46:44You'd risk your life for me.
00:46:45You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:46:48That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
00:46:50That is something more, and you know it.
00:46:52Moments ago, right here, you said that you love me more than anyone else in the world.
00:46:57It's...
00:46:57Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:47:02Elena, look at this.
00:47:07Look.
00:47:09I'm here to guard you.
00:47:11I'm your bodyguard.
00:47:14I shouldn't have crossed the line.
00:47:15I'm sorry.
00:47:17Now, let's go.
00:47:20Stay away, honey.
00:47:21Elena.
00:47:24I'm sorry, Elena.
00:47:26I can't hold you back.
00:47:27You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:47:34You can't handle one woman?
00:47:36Absolutely useless.
00:47:37God, that bitch is going to screw everybody around the whole damn time.
00:47:40What do you want me to?
00:47:41God, I'm a pathetic freaking loser.
00:47:44I'm going to kill him.
00:47:47It's only a matter of time.
00:47:48If that's the case, there's only one option left.
00:47:52We want Pearson Group.
00:47:54We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:47:55Just like we did her father.
00:47:57You think you can fix everything with these little tricks?
00:48:12It won't work, Ace.
00:48:13It's your favorite.
00:48:15French toast.
00:48:17Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:48:19But I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.
00:48:24Oliver, what are you doing here?
00:48:40This is a signed first edition.
00:48:43Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that down for you.
00:48:49And while you were at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:48:56Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
00:49:06I just want you to be happy, Elena.
00:49:12Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:49:15You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
00:49:18But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
00:49:23It wasn't your fault.
00:49:25None of it was.
00:49:27It was mine.
00:49:29Don't think you've won me over.
00:49:31I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:49:34Don't think you've won me over.
00:49:36I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:49:38Go make me a coffee.
00:49:40I have a meeting soon.
00:49:46Ms. Pearson, if I may say, Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
00:49:53And from the way you look at him, it's clear you feel the same way.
00:49:58So why not just be together?
00:50:01Oh, you don't understand.
00:50:02Every time I take a step forward, he takes two steps back.
00:50:06It's not that simple.
00:50:08Well, then maybe you should take the lead.
00:50:12Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:50:14Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through, huh?
00:50:23Maybe.
00:50:33Maybe you should take the lead.
00:50:36The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle, and he loved it.
00:50:42Ace, stay here.
00:50:43I have a surprise for you.
00:50:48All right, and your order will be delivered tonight.
00:50:51Thank you so much.
00:50:51Thank you for shopping with us, Ms. Pearson.
00:50:52Thank you so much, Ms. Pearson.
00:51:22Josh, Josh, the lender's been taking.
00:51:46Activate the tracking system, get the cops involved.
00:51:49They'll go and answer them.
00:51:52Who are you?
00:52:02Look at this, it's about the company's health care reforms, and I promise you I'm proposing
00:52:06a new plan.
00:52:07It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
00:52:09Shut your mouth.
00:52:12This isn't about health care.
00:52:13You got it all wrong.
00:52:14What?
00:52:21My uncle hired you?
00:52:23He paid you to kill my dad?
00:52:24Ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:52:25Took you long enough to figure out.
00:52:28Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:52:32Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head!
00:52:37Okay, I'll sign.
00:52:38But you have to let me go after.
00:52:40Good.
00:52:42Sign it.
00:52:43Then you're free to go.
00:52:45He's lying.
00:52:46As soon as I sign, they'll kill me.
00:52:48Think, Elena, think.
00:52:49Hurry up.
00:52:51Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
00:52:56You good?
00:52:56You good?
00:52:56No, I don't want to die.
00:53:08Please, Ace, save me.
00:53:12Now that this job is completed, I can...
00:53:14I don't have to worry about money ever again.
00:53:18Good job.
00:53:19Drop your weapon or I'll blow your brains out.
00:53:38Good.
00:53:39Ace, don't do it.
00:53:40Drop your weapon!
00:53:42Good job.
00:53:48Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:53:51Good.
00:53:51Go ahead.
00:54:04No.
00:54:05No.
00:54:06No.
00:54:09No.
00:54:10No.
00:54:12Are you crazy?
00:54:16He had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after him.
00:54:19I knew that I lost you.
00:54:20It's going to be okay.
00:54:24I knew exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.
00:54:27It's over.
00:54:36Who sent you?
00:54:37Come on!
00:54:40Okay, just give me a medic.
00:54:41I don't want to die.
00:54:42You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers.
00:54:44So talk!
00:54:47It's Houston.
00:54:49He paid me to kill Carter.
00:54:51I can't believe it.
00:54:52There's proof.
00:54:53Where?
00:54:54My left jacket pocket.
00:54:55Just take it!
00:54:56That idiot Carter Pearson and the five billion dollars is yours.
00:55:08Why would he murder his own brother?
00:55:10My father's been nothing but content.
00:55:17扔s around the way.
00:55:19Everything's fine.
00:55:20Yes, I don't understand.
00:55:22Houston was the company's second largest shareholder.
00:55:25What more could he possibly want?
00:55:27Why would he murder my father?
00:55:30And in front of me, too?
00:55:32I'm going to have to live with that image
00:55:34scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life.
00:55:37Some people just want more.
00:55:39And it's never enough.
00:55:40They're just greedy and they're monsters
00:55:41and you never have to think about them again, okay?
00:55:43It's over.
00:55:45Over.
00:55:45I don't want to go home.
00:55:51Hey, let's go.
00:56:02Please pull over.
00:56:04What's wrong?
00:56:05Your arm, it's bleeding.
00:56:07Didn't you notice?
00:56:08No, I didn't notice.
00:56:09It must have happened during the fight.
00:56:11You're unbelievable.
00:56:14It's fine.
00:56:15Just pull over right up there.
00:56:17It's fine.
00:56:17No, I'll take care of it.
00:56:19We'll stop for a minute.
00:56:30Ace, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
00:56:34Why not?
00:56:35Come on.
00:56:35Tell me the truth.
00:56:36I swear, I will wrap this bandage around your arm
00:56:38so hard you can't feel it.
00:56:44Okay.
00:56:45Hey, look, I screwed up.
00:56:47But that's in the past.
00:56:49I just want to move forward, okay?
00:56:52Ace, be honest with me.
00:56:53Do you still love me?
00:56:55Come on, don't try and dodge the question.
00:56:58Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't.
00:57:00You charged right in to save me.
00:57:02You didn't care about me.
00:57:05You wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
00:57:08I love you.
00:57:10Always have.
00:57:10Never stop.
00:57:11Not even for a second.
00:57:12I believe you this time.
00:57:15Let's start fresh.
00:57:17I love you, Elena.
00:57:19I've always loved you.
00:57:20I love you.
00:57:20I love you.
00:57:21Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
00:57:30I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said if you don't get treated soon,
00:57:33your leg may forever lose sensation.
00:57:34Today we're here to talk about my health care reform strategy.
00:57:43You can't even handle your personal life.
00:57:46The news came out, and this company's stock prices fell another five points.
00:57:50And yet you still think you can push through reforms.
00:57:53I'm the first to object.
00:57:55Elena, do you know how the other health care companies are mocking us?
00:57:59They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.
00:58:02Okay.
00:58:04Uncle Houston, if my scandals are causing such problems for the company,
00:58:09how do you plan to account for the damages that your actions have caused?
00:58:14Like hiring someone to kill my father.
00:58:20Like hiring someone to kill my father.
00:58:26That's slander.
00:58:27Your father was killed by an angry citizen who was dissatisfied with the current health care system.
00:58:32What does that have to do with me?
00:58:34Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson, and the $5 million is yours.
00:58:44I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson,
00:58:48and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
00:58:50I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.
00:59:02You murdered my father and tried to kill me.
00:59:05You need to pay for your crimes.
00:59:08You need to pay for your crimes.
00:59:09Who do you think you are?
00:59:10Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
00:59:13I gave everything to this company.
00:59:16Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson, inherit this company?
00:59:20What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?
00:59:23This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology that increased our claim denial rate to 40%,
00:59:29the highest in the industry.
00:59:31And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this.
00:59:35He deserved to die.
00:59:37Every accomplishment you've made has been riding off to the coattails of struggling people and my father's life.
00:59:43And you show no remorse for them.
00:59:45You're a monster.
00:59:46Don't move.
00:59:53Raise your hands.
00:59:56Houston Pearson, your honor of rest for first degree murder.
01:00:16All those in favor of implementing my healthcare reform strategy, raise your hand.
01:00:46Very well.
01:00:52It seems the majority has voted yes.
01:00:55I declare that the healthcare reform plan, with the slogan, deliver, declare, and disclose,
01:01:01has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.
01:01:16Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.
01:01:26Great day, guys.
01:01:29Congrats, you two.
01:01:31Looks like you guys are officially back together.
01:01:33Should I be planning your reunion party?
01:01:35That's enough.
01:01:36That's enough.
01:01:36Oh, Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.
01:01:42Oh.
01:01:44Thank you so much, guys.
01:01:46If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my healthcare reform plan would have passed.
01:01:51Especially you, Ace.
01:01:54I don't know what I would have done without you.
01:01:58Well, I'll, um, always be your rock.
01:02:04Cheers!
01:02:05Heck yeah.
01:02:05Hey.
01:02:17Hey.
01:02:19Are you looking for me?
01:02:21Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal and just trying to make everyone join her.
01:02:26Followers keep me an eye on them.
01:02:27I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.
01:02:31I guess I have to...
01:02:34reserve all my energy for you.
01:02:36Go ahead.
01:02:38Mr. Atkins,
01:02:40your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.
01:02:44What's next on your agenda?
01:02:45I have a few ideas.
01:02:46Yes.
01:02:46Yes.
01:02:47Yes.
01:02:47Yes.
01:02:47Yes.
01:02:47Yes.
01:02:47Yes.
01:02:47Yes.
01:02:47Yes.
01:02:48Yes.
01:02:48Yes.
01:02:48Yes.
01:02:48Yes.
01:02:49Yes.
01:02:49Yes.
01:02:49Yes.
01:02:50Yes.
01:02:50Yes.
01:02:50Yes.
01:02:50Yes.
01:02:51Yes.
01:02:51Yes.
01:02:51Yes.
01:02:52Yes.
01:02:52Yes.
01:02:53Yes.
01:02:53Yes.
01:02:54Yes.
01:02:54Yes.
01:02:55Yes.
01:02:55Yes.
01:02:56Yes.
01:02:56Yes.
01:02:57Yes.
01:03:15What's wrong?
01:03:20What's wrong?
01:03:21Nothing.
01:03:22Just...
01:03:23I don't know if we're in the right place or if it's the right time.
01:03:30What?
01:03:32After everything we've been through, Ace, I thought we were past this.
01:03:36I know, but I, uh...
01:03:37But what?
01:03:41I just, uh, I don't think we should rush into this.
01:03:44I think we should think this through, okay?
01:03:46You're a jerk.
01:03:53Oh, I'm an asshole.
01:03:56Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:03:57Ace, Ace!
01:04:25It's okay.
01:04:26Ace!
01:04:27It's okay, he's dead.
01:04:28It's all right.
01:04:37Oh my god, Miss Pearson!
01:04:39I'm going to go on an ambulance!
01:04:47Is he gonna be okay, Doctor?
01:04:49Don't tell me about a prosthetic leg.
01:05:02My prosthetic leg.
01:05:04All right.
01:05:05I respect your wishes.
01:05:09Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:05:13His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:05:17Thank you, Doctor.
01:05:18By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:05:22Okay, I'll go there now then.
01:05:28Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:05:30Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:05:37According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives, has been involved in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.
01:05:46The killer was hired by him.
01:05:48What?
01:05:49Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:05:52Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:05:55You can rest assured that, with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.
01:05:59When you're safe.
01:06:01Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are gonna offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:06:08You can rest.
01:06:10I'm gonna pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:06:14Ace?
01:06:15Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete, and you're no longer in danger, so it's time for me to leave.
01:06:31I just wanted to say goodbye, and I wish you all the best. Ace.
01:06:37What the hell? You're leaving me again?
01:06:40I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:06:45It's her. The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:07:09So you're a physical therapist?
01:07:12That's your daughter and husband?
01:07:13Yes.
01:07:15I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:07:17You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
01:07:21This involves Ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:07:26But Alina, I assure you, Ace did not betray you.
01:07:29Then why?
01:07:31Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?
01:07:34I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
01:07:38But I think that deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything. He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:07:47Alina, what are you doing there?
01:07:48Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital, and he just left me a note. Do you know where he is?
01:07:58What?
01:08:00Doesn't he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:08:04What do you mean, prosthetic leg?
01:08:10Oh, man. I was supposed to say that.
01:08:13Josh, what do you mean, prosthetic?
01:08:15All right.
01:08:17Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:08:21Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.
01:08:25So, he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
01:08:29Later, after you got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.
01:08:33He thought a great girl like you deserved it better.
01:08:36So, he avoided you at critical moments.
01:08:41Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:08:43He's getting his new prosthetic leg fit right now.
01:08:46We'll find out later.
01:08:48Ace, you jerk.
01:08:49How could you keep something so important for me?
01:08:52This time, I won't let you go.
01:08:53I won't let you walk away again.
01:08:57Fortunately, you came in time.
01:08:59The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
01:09:02With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:09:04This one is nearly made for you. Try it.
01:09:07Thanks.
01:09:13This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:09:14This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:15What are you doing here now?
01:09:16This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:09:17This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:18What are you doing here now?
01:09:19You shouldn't be here.
01:09:20You need to leave.
01:09:21You shouldn't be here.
01:09:22You need to leave.
01:09:23This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:09:24This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:25What are you doing here now?
01:09:26You shouldn't be here.
01:09:27You need to leave.
01:09:28What?
01:09:29This is...
01:09:30Why are you doing here now?
01:09:32You shouldn't be here.
01:09:33You need to leave.
01:09:37This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:42Who are you doing here now?
01:09:43You shouldn't be here.
01:09:44You need to leave.
01:09:48This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:51What?
01:09:55What?
01:09:56Where is this?
01:09:57right now. Why wouldn't you just tell me? Do you really think that little of me? That I'm just a
01:10:04shallow, unsupportive partner? How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena? I mean, why would a guy
01:10:09like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you? Huh? I mean, I can't even do half the things
01:10:17I was able to three years ago. I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay? I mean, just fucking
01:10:20look at me, Elena. I can't even stand up straight. But I love you. Ace, can't you see? No matter
01:10:29how you feel about yourself, I've always loved you, always. Elena, come on, why? Just stop
01:10:40pushing me away. Ace Adkins, you listen to me right now. You have left me so many times.
01:10:50You can't keep running from me. I am here to stay. Got it?
01:11:16Nothing feels uncomfortable? Mom, don't try and be tough.
01:11:19No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually. So, you know, I wouldn't
01:11:25blame you if you didn't want to do this. I'm disabled, and I might become a burden to you
01:11:31when we're older. Have you thought about that?
01:11:34If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off. I love Ace Atkins.
01:11:41The person, not the person, not the leg. So what if you're missing a leg? I would love
01:11:46you all the same. Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:11:52No. No. Of course not. I'll always be by your side.
01:11:57And let me do the same. I am choosing you, okay?
01:12:05Got it.
01:12:11Ms. Pearson, your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life.
01:12:26Ms. Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success, making you the most popular
01:12:31CEO in the U.S.
01:12:32What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:12:35Ms. Pearson, I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great
01:12:41planning, but also because of my fiancé, Ace Atkins. His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
01:12:50Ms. Pearson, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart, your heart.
01:13:06Oh
