00:02:42nobody's happy
00:02:42you're a spoiled rich

00:02:56I hate you Ace Atkins
00:02:57did you really have to be so cruel
00:03:08I mean I feel like you probably
00:03:10could have told her the truth
00:03:11she's not gonna leave you

00:03:21I love her

00:03:54Mr. Pearson
00:03:57I obviously always have had a lot of respect for you
00:04:01quite frankly you have no interest
00:04:03in your money
00:04:04all I need is a chance to talk to Elena
00:04:05that's all I'm asking for
00:04:06what can you possibly do for Elena
00:04:08when you can't even stand on your own
00:04:10all you'll do is break her heart
00:04:12I'll never let my little girl
00:04:14marry a one-legged cripple

00:13:10Mace.
00:13:14You're bleeding.
00:13:18He might be an asshole, but damn,
00:13:20he's even harder than he used to be.
00:13:22He's still got that same glow.
00:13:24God, I missed her.
00:13:28Do you remember the last time we, uh,
00:13:30in the bathroom?
00:13:34He's hard.
00:13:44Yes, I know.
00:13:50That guy got you in the leg, too, right?
00:13:52I should wrap that up.
00:13:54He tried to stab me in the leg,
00:13:58and he missed. It's fine.
00:14:00I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:14:04He says, is there something wrong?
00:14:06That's fine.
00:14:08Good.
00:14:34Oh!
00:14:38My...
00:14:42Am I interrupting?
00:14:44No, uh, no.
00:14:46I just, uh, cut himself,
00:14:48and I was just helping him address the wound.
00:14:52Oh.
00:14:53Oh, Mr. Atkins, I, um,
00:14:54brought your luggage up.
00:14:56Great.
00:14:57Oh, wait, he's not staying with me.
00:14:59Why, yes, Miss Pearson.
00:15:01Of course.
00:15:02That's exactly what a personal bodyguard does.
00:15:05The contract clearly states
00:15:07that Mr. Atkins must remain by your side 24-7
00:15:11to ensure your safety.
00:15:13Oliver, it's not just about the contract.
00:15:15I, I can't...
00:15:18I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:15:21You must understand.
00:15:23You might very well be the next target.
00:15:27If you fail to understand this,
00:15:29then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:15:33Fine.
00:15:35Oliver, you win.
00:15:37Brilliant.
00:15:39Mr. Atkins, from here on out,
00:15:41Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:15:49I'll take a bullet for her.
00:16:00Anne.
00:16:02You're the first door on the left.
00:16:04You can stay there.
00:16:05I'll wait, Atkins.
00:16:06Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:16:08We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:16:12Now, if you're gonna be staying here,
00:16:14we need to establish some boundaries.
00:16:16So, here's how it's gonna go.
00:16:18You are gonna do your job as my bodyguard,
00:16:20and I'm gonna live my life.
00:16:22Nothing else.
00:16:24Is that clear?
00:16:26Crystal.
00:16:28I can unpack my stuff.
00:16:30Is this his wallet?
00:16:52You said you never left me,
00:16:53so why do you have a photo with me inside your wallet?
00:17:00I checked the house.
00:17:03It's all clear.
00:17:05Safe to sleep.
00:17:06Great. Thanks.
00:17:08I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:17:31Shit.
00:17:40Sorry.
00:17:42I thought you were in danger.
00:17:44Just hand me that towel.
00:17:45It's not like I had a seat.
00:18:07Be professional.
00:18:08I'm still your boss, remember?
00:18:10Yes, ma'am.
00:18:15Yes, ma'am.
00:18:16You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:18:17And after all these years,
00:18:18I still feel the same about you.
00:18:19You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:18:20And after all these years,
00:18:21I still feel the same about you.
00:18:22You've changed a lot, Elena.
00:18:24And after all these years,
00:18:25I still feel the same about you.
00:18:52Hey, sir, I have some scar cream for you.
00:18:57Yeah, just hold on a second.
00:18:58One minute.
00:19:03Hey, what's up?
00:19:07Just have something for scars.
00:19:11I can put it on.
00:19:13Okay.
00:19:22I'm surprised that you still, uh, show this much care for me still.
00:19:29You know, for yourself?
00:19:31I'm just helping you because I'm nice.
00:19:34Ina, calm yourself.
00:19:35He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:19:39Okay.
00:19:42Then.
00:19:50Hey, what is with you and this blanket?
00:19:52I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:19:55I think it's fine.
00:19:57Just sitting.
00:19:59Just let me sit.
00:20:00I call BS.
00:20:02Let me see it.
00:20:15Hiding something under there.
00:20:17Maybe I'm hiding the boner to see it.
00:20:22You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:20:29You're my bodyguard.
00:20:31You should keep things professional.
00:20:42You're right, Elena.
00:20:44I'm just your bodyguard.
00:20:45Okay.
00:20:45Why don't you put this on?
00:20:56It's lightweight.
00:20:57You won't even feel it.
00:20:59I'm not wearing that.
00:21:00You can either do it yourself or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:21:04And I can do it.
00:21:05And if you ask me, I prefer the latter.
00:21:06Okay.
00:21:07I can do it myself.
00:21:15May I?
00:21:16Oh, God.
00:21:17I...
00:21:17I...
00:21:17I...
00:21:17I...
00:21:17I...
00:21:18I...
00:21:19I...
00:21:20I...
00:21:21I...
00:21:22I...
00:21:23I...
00:21:24I...
00:21:25I...
00:21:26I...
00:21:27I...
00:21:28I...
00:21:29I...
00:21:30I...
00:21:31I...
00:21:32I...
00:21:33I...
00:21:34I...
00:21:35I...
00:21:36I...
00:21:37I...
00:21:38I...
00:21:39I...
00:21:40I...
00:21:41I...
00:21:42I have to go.
00:21:43I'm late for work.
00:21:44Yes, ma'am.
00:21:49I'm assuming the assassination didn't go as planned?
00:21:51That idiot calls himself a hitman. He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:21:56Chad?
00:21:57I'm leaving this to you.
00:21:58Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb, and Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:22:02Consider it done.
00:22:09Jesus, Chad, how many times have I told you to knock?
00:22:12What do you want?
00:22:14You only didn't remember.
00:22:16I remember.
00:22:17But I'm swamped from work and planning a funeral, so can we take a brain check?
00:22:22Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:22:24You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:22:27This is how people get burned down. You need to take some time off to relax.
00:22:37Yeah.
00:22:38You know what? Let's do dinner.
00:22:42Great.
00:22:45Great.
00:22:57Sir.
00:22:58This...
00:22:59is a table for two.
00:23:02Why don't you go sit over that?
00:23:12I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard. I've got to keep a tight perimeter around here at all times.
00:23:27But thanks for checking in.
00:23:29Well, don't let me interrupt. You guys haven't ordered yet. Go ahead.
00:23:4482 to the fight. Your favorite.
00:23:47I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me. Here, have a taste.
00:23:55Hey, 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?
00:23:59Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:24:06My apologies. All you know. 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.
00:24:24I'm sorry, Chad. I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that. Um, can we eat? I'm starving.
00:24:35Um, yeah. Sam.
00:24:38A mango salad.
00:24:43Oh, hey, Sam. Sorry about that. She actually doesn't like mangoes. You mind bringing out another plate without them?
00:24:48He still remembers?
00:24:50I'll see what I can do about that.
00:24:55Wait, didn't you two just meet? How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:25:01How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:25:04Well, we actually go way back. And I know a hell of a lot more about her than just her preference on mangoes.
00:25:09He's my bodyguard. Of course, Oliver told him everything that he needed to know. I'll just pick around the mangoes.
00:25:18Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:25:24What was that tonight? If I didn't know any better, I think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:25:49Just say things that you want to see them.
00:25:54You ever think about that?
00:25:55How could I forget?
00:25:57Right, and you've shattered my heart.
00:26:00Right, come on.
00:26:01Save it.
00:26:02I'll just go home. Your funeral preparation's to make anyway.
00:26:08I'm sorry, Elena.
00:26:10I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:26:12I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:26:15Elena.
00:26:19Elena.
00:26:21Elena.
00:26:22Dad.
00:26:23You're back.
00:26:24Dad!
00:26:37What's going on?
00:26:38Are you safe?
00:26:40It's fine. I'm here, okay? You're safe.
00:26:44I had a dream about my dad.
00:26:47One second he was smiling at me and then the next.
00:26:50I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:26:52Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:27:05You're the strongest woman I've ever known.
00:27:06And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:27:19Besides, I'm going to be right here all the time supporting you and protecting you.
00:27:22Protecting me?
00:27:25Protecting me?
00:27:28Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:27:33Okay. Our relationship has in the past.
00:27:37But I would protect you with my life.
00:27:40I'd die for you.
00:27:42I need you to understand that.
00:27:45So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:27:52Stay with me.
00:28:19I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:28:23You're my bodyguard.
00:28:26And I'm scared.
00:28:29Stay with me.
00:28:31So I can feel safe.
00:28:48If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:28:52What are we doing here?
00:28:57I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:29:00You know, just in case.
00:29:02Always got to be prepared.
00:29:04What I mean is, in case I die first and you're still in danger, you could...
00:29:09...fight your way out.
00:29:12First case scenario.
00:29:17What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:29:21No.
00:29:22All the pushing in the wall, it won't do anything.
00:29:23Try putting your hand on the more vulnerable place.
00:29:25That one there.
00:29:26And that one there.
00:29:27And that one there.
00:29:28Push as hard as you can.
00:29:29Right.
00:29:30Right.
00:29:31Oh.
00:29:32Right.
00:29:33Nice.
00:29:35All right.
00:29:36Second scenario.
00:29:37What if somebody...
00:29:38...had you like this?
00:29:39What if somebody...
00:29:40...had you like this?
00:29:43It's just self-defense training.
00:29:44Don't let it get to you, Helena.
00:29:45It's just self-defense training.
00:29:46Don't let it get to you, Helena.
00:29:47Um...
00:29:48All right, second scenario.
00:29:52What if somebody...
00:29:56...had you like this?
00:30:00What if somebody...
00:30:04...had you like this?
00:30:08It's just self-defense training. Don't let it get to you, Alina.
00:30:12Um, I'd
00:30:16go for the more vulnerable part.
00:30:20Stomping on the...
00:30:22Very nice.
00:30:24You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:30:26Okay.
00:30:28Third scenario. You ready?
00:30:30All right.
00:30:32What?
00:30:38Someone's got you like this.
00:30:40Starts choking you.
00:30:42Um... You gotta be quick.
00:30:44This...
00:30:46Use your hips.
00:30:48What?
00:30:50Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:30:52As hard as you can.
00:30:54Ace, are you okay?
00:30:58Did I hurt your leg?
00:31:00No.
00:31:02It hurt my leg.
00:31:06It's fine. That was a good job.
00:31:08No, you're hurt.
00:31:10Let me...
00:31:11Fine. That was good work, though.
00:31:12Seriously.
00:31:13Ace, the new security equipment just arrived.
00:31:15Can you come check it out?
00:31:16Yeah, sure. Thanks, Josh.
00:31:18Good job today.
00:31:20Seriously.
00:31:22That sounds weird.
00:31:28Ace is hiding something from me.
00:31:34Hi.
00:31:36Alina, right?
00:31:38I'm Josh.
00:31:40I used to serve with Ace in the military,
00:31:42but now we're colleagues.
00:31:44She talks about you a lot.
00:31:46Hi, Josh.
00:31:48Can I ask...
00:31:50Is there something going on with Ace's leg?
00:31:54Huh?
00:31:55Leg?
00:31:56No.
00:31:57Not that I know of.
00:31:58You know, Ace has been single for years now.
00:32:01Everyone here knows that there's someone he's never been able to forget.
00:32:05And that person is you, Alina.
00:32:08You're mistaken.
00:32:10He...
00:32:11He doesn't love me.
00:32:12At all.
00:32:13If you knew him, then you would know that he broke up with me three years ago.
00:32:16You know, I might be just an outsider, but...
00:32:19I know Ace.
00:32:21Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:32:24Alright.
00:32:25I gotta go check up on Ace and the new equipment.
00:32:27It was nice meeting you, Alina.
00:32:29Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:32:33What does that even mean?
00:32:35Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:32:36Everything looks great.
00:32:37Okay.
00:32:41Ace.
00:32:42Alina asked about your leg.
00:32:46What'd you say?
00:32:50What'd you say?
00:32:51Don't worry.
00:32:52I'd say worry.
00:32:53But...
00:32:54Honestly, man...
00:32:55I think she still cares about you.
00:32:57Maybe it's time you told her the truth.
00:32:58I appreciate your input, Josh, but I think I know what's best for Alina and I...
00:33:02Might wanna deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:33:04It's overdue for a replacement.
00:33:06If you keep stalling, you're gonna damage the nerves in your leg, man.
00:33:09You know that a new prosthetic would take about three weeks.
00:33:12I'm still on the job.
00:33:13I can't leave Alina alone.
00:33:14I think that would be very irresponsible of me, don't you think, Josh?
00:33:18Man...
00:33:19I'm a hell of a romantic.
00:33:20You know that?
00:33:21Yeah, well, that makes one of us.
00:33:22Why don't you get the hell out of here, alright?
00:33:24Amen.
00:33:25Amen.
00:33:26Amen.
00:33:27Amen.

00:33:59may your father rest in peace
00:34:01if your father knew that your reckless reforms
00:34:04would be tearing his company apart
00:34:05he would never rest in peace
00:34:06he was your brother
00:34:08if you had even a shred of affection for him
00:34:11you would never say something like that at his funeral
00:34:13you know Uncle Houston

00:34:18than my own father's murder
00:34:19could it be that you had something to do with his death
00:34:24that is outrageous slander
00:34:26how dare you accuse me of murdering my brother
00:34:28at his funeral
00:34:29sorry for your loss
00:34:54it's enough
00:35:09this was my father's favorite
00:35:16I got it for him for his birthday

00:36:31three years ago
00:36:33I waited for you to come back
00:36:35and marry me
00:36:36and then you left me
00:36:37for another woman

00:37:13no
00:37:14Oh, my God, I drank too much.
00:37:25Did we sleep together?
00:37:28Showered.
00:37:30Had you breakfast.
00:37:32Last night.
00:37:34But you...
00:37:35You were drunk.
00:37:37Very drunk.
00:37:38And took care of you.
00:37:39And that was it.
00:37:40He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:37:43Jerk.
00:37:45Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:37:59You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:38:04Haven't you dealt with that bitchy, Elena, yet?
00:38:06She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:38:08She's hard to handle.
00:38:10The bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her.
00:38:13I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:38:15This I will not do.
00:38:17She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:38:20Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:38:22If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:38:26What do you want me to do?
00:38:28The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:38:30Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board, which we're going to do.
00:38:34It's invite her to go as your date, and you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:38:37Tell her she'll get more support from the board if she's married with a husband.
00:38:41We can use the engagement to shift public focus away from your form.
00:38:45Kill two birds with one stone.
00:38:46I like that.
00:38:46Exactly.
00:38:47The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:38:50There's no way she risks taking the company's stock prices again.
00:38:57Elena!
00:38:58Elena!
00:38:59I was hoping I would be able to escort you to the company dinner this weekend.
00:39:02I told you, at least her biggest be chasing this person.
00:39:07He said, for ages, his persistence is kind of impressive.
00:39:18Chad, I...
00:39:19Elena, trust me.
00:39:21I can help you win over a couple more board members for the health care reform plan.
00:39:28Yeah.
00:39:29Yes, I'd love to go to dinner.
00:39:30Great.
00:39:32See you later.
00:39:50How do I look?
00:39:52You look beautiful.
00:39:54You know, I don't know if you have to dress so...
00:39:56formally.
00:39:58What, are you jealous?
00:39:59I just don't think that that guy
00:40:02deserves
00:40:03all of this.
00:40:10Oh, speak of the devil.
00:40:13Beautiful.
00:40:14Elena, we should get going.
00:40:15We're going to be late.
00:40:17And, uh, Ace,
00:40:19remember your place.
00:40:20Okay, there's a sport.
00:40:21You're the bodyguard.
00:40:22So, make sure you keep a professional distance between you and your employer.
00:40:27Yeah?
00:40:41Elena's health care reform plan might have some short-term losses, but I believe the long-term
00:40:46benefits far outweigh the small drawbacks.
00:40:50Forget about that for a moment.
00:40:51What we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:40:56Given the company's current PR crisis, announcing a wedding might actually help repair its image.
00:41:01Elena, Chad seems like an excellent match.
00:41:05Oh, um, Mr. and Mrs. Hans, you're mistaken.
00:41:08Chad and I are...
00:41:09Thank you for your blessing, and we'll seriously consider it.
00:41:14Our company has faced challenges recently.
00:41:18But, on this special night, our new CEO, Ms. Elena Pearson, would like to say a few words.
00:41:29Before Ms. Pearson says anything, I have a surprise for her.
00:41:36I have a surprise for her.
00:41:38Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:41:48Will you marry me?
00:41:54Marry him!
00:41:55Marry him!
00:41:56Marry him!
00:41:58Marry him!
00:41:59Marry him!
00:42:00Marry him!
00:42:01Marry him!
00:42:03Marry him!
00:42:04John, stand up.
00:42:05What are you doing?
00:42:06I don't...
00:42:07Come on, let's go.
00:42:09We're leaving.
00:42:11Woo!
00:42:18What the hell are you doing?
00:42:28Starving out like that in front of all those guests.
00:42:29You've realized how bad you're making the company's image look.
00:42:31Oh, really?
00:42:32So what, you're going to just marry that guy to save the company's image?
00:42:35That's ridiculous.
00:42:36Who I marry is none of your business.
00:42:39We're over, Ace.
00:42:40You're just my bodyguard.
00:42:41You don't get to interfere with my life.
00:42:43You don't mean that.
00:42:44You don't love that guy.
00:42:45You barely fucking know him.
00:42:47Who I love is none of your concern.
00:42:50Don't pretend to care about me, Ace Atkins, when you push me away over and over again.
00:42:55Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal, you would have nothing to do with it.
00:42:58You couldn't stop me.
00:43:08Elena!
00:43:09Elena, where are you?
00:43:13Elena, are you in there?
00:43:17Tell him you're busy.
00:43:19Make him leave.
00:43:22Tell him you're busy.
00:43:23Make him leave.
00:43:24I'll be out in a minute.
00:43:46Are you sure you're okay?
00:43:52Yeah, I'm fine.
00:43:52Just...
00:43:53Just go.
00:43:54Go.
00:44:09Ace, you're a bastard.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:12I'm sorry about that, but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:44:14Oh, and you do?
00:44:16You abandoned me.
00:44:17We were supposed to get married.
00:44:20You have no right to say that to me.
00:44:22What do you think's going on here?
00:44:24Do you think that I don't love you?
00:44:26I mean, do you have any fucking idea how much I...
00:44:28Elena!
00:44:29Who's in there with you?
00:44:30How much what?
00:44:31What are you saying?
00:44:32What are you saying?
00:44:32How much what?
00:44:36What are you saying?
00:44:37Elena!
00:44:39What do you think?
00:44:41What are you two doing in here?
00:44:45I can ask you the same question, Chad.
00:44:48You told me it was just a date to the gala, and then you go and pull that stunt out there?
00:44:52Proposing in front of everyone?
00:44:53What?
00:44:54Have you lost your mind?
00:44:55Elena, I have been pursuing you for so long, and you've never rejected me.
00:44:58And so that has to mean that you feel the same way.
00:45:02What?
00:45:03I haven't said anything.
00:45:04You need to go out and tell the people the truth.
00:45:06What's the difference?
00:45:07Hmm?
00:45:08Everybody already thinks that you're my fiancé now.
00:45:11Since you've never rejected me, it's clear that you like me.
00:45:13It's only natural for us to be together.
00:45:15Hey, don't step closer.
00:45:17And who the hell are you?
00:45:18You're just a fucking bodyguard!
00:45:21Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:45:24Acting all on your high horse, but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:45:28You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.
00:45:57You see that girl right there?
00:46:03There's no one in the world that I love more than her.
00:46:05You're not going to disrespect her.
00:46:06You show a face around here again, I'm going to fucking kill her.
00:46:08You understand?
00:46:09Do you understand?
00:46:11No!
00:46:20You left me?
00:46:21Did you mean what you said?
00:46:27At least just tell me the truth.
00:46:29That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:46:31No, Elena, I can't be with you.
00:46:36I'm just a man with a prosthetic.
00:46:39I'm not whole.
00:46:39I'll never be enough for you.
00:46:41That was just impulsive.
00:46:42I shouldn't have said that.
00:46:43I'm sorry.
00:46:43You're lying.
00:46:46You still keep a photo of us in your wallet.
00:46:49You'd risk your life for me.
00:46:50You'd stay up all night to protect me.
00:46:52That is not just a bodyguard doing his job.
00:46:55That is something more, and you know it.
00:46:57Moments ago, right here, you said that you love me more than anyone else in the world.
00:47:01It's...
00:47:02Why won't you admit that you still love me?
00:47:07Elena, look.
00:47:12Look.
00:47:14I'm here to guard you.
00:47:16I'm your bodyguard.
00:47:18I shouldn't have crossed the line, and I'm sorry.
00:47:22Now, let's go.
00:47:24Stay away from me.
00:47:26Elena.
00:47:29I'm sorry, Elena.
00:47:31I can't hold you back.
00:47:32You deserve better than a broken man like myself.
00:47:39Can't handle one woman?
00:47:41Absolutely useless.
00:47:42That bitch is going to screw everybody around the whole damn time.
00:47:45What do you want me to do?
00:47:46God, I'm a pathetic freaking loser.
00:47:49I'm going to kill him.
00:47:52It's only a matter of time.
00:47:53If that's the case, there's only one option left.
00:47:57We want Pearson Group.
00:47:59We're going to have to eliminate her.
00:48:00Just like we did her father.
00:48:14You think you can fix everything with these little tricks?
00:48:17It won't work, Ace.
00:48:18It's your favorite.
00:48:20French toast.
00:48:22Been up since six, making sure everything was perfect.
00:48:24I know it's been a while, so I hope it tastes like how you remember it.
00:48:29Oliver, what are you doing here?
00:48:45This is a signed first edition.
00:48:47Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections to track that down for you.
00:48:54And while you were at your meetings, he took it upon himself to redecorate your entire office.
00:49:01Do you really think gestures like these are going to make me forgive you?
00:49:11I just want you to be happy, Elena.
00:49:17Whether you forgive me or not doesn't really matter.
00:49:20You have every right to hate me and to push me away if that's what you want.
00:49:22But please, just don't let this anger eat away at you.
00:49:29It wasn't your fault.
00:49:30None of it was.
00:49:32It was mine.
00:49:34Don't think you've won me over.
00:49:36I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:49:39Don't think you've won me over.
00:49:40I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:49:43Go make me a coffee.
00:49:45I have a meeting soon.
00:49:46Miss Pearson, if I may say, Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
00:49:58And from the way you look at him, it's clear you feel the same way.
00:50:03So why not just be together?
00:50:06Oliver, you don't understand.
00:50:07Every time I take a step forward, he takes two steps back.
00:50:11It's not that simple.
00:50:13Well, then maybe you should take the lead.
00:50:16Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:50:20Why not use the occasion to clear the air and finally talk it through?
00:50:28Maybe.
00:50:38Maybe you should take the lead.
00:50:41The first gift I ever gave Ace was a motorcycle, and he loved it.
00:50:47Ace, stay here.
00:50:48I have a surprise for you.
00:50:53All right.
00:50:54And your order will be delivered tonight.
00:50:55Thank you so much.
00:50:56Thank you for chatting with us with Pearson.
00:50:57Thank you for chatting with us with Pearson.
00:50:57See you soon.
00:51:26Josh, Josh, the lead has been taken.
00:51:51Activate the tracking system.
00:51:52Get the cops involved.
00:51:53I'm going after them.
00:52:06Who are you?
00:52:07Look at this.
00:52:07It's about the company's health care reforms.
00:52:09And I promised you I'm proposing a new plan.
00:52:12It's set to pass on Monday, so please don't kill me.
00:52:14Shut your mouth.
00:52:15Dad, this isn't about health care.
00:52:18You got it all wrong.
00:52:19What?
00:52:26My uncle hired you?
00:52:28He paid you to kill my dad?
00:52:29Ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:52:30Took you long enough to figure out.
00:52:32Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:52:36Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head.
00:52:39Okay, I'll sign.
00:52:43But you have to let me go after.
00:52:45Good.
00:52:47Sign it.
00:52:48Then you're free to go.
00:52:50He's lying.
00:52:51As soon as I sign, they'll kill me.
00:52:53Think, Elena, think.
00:52:54Hurry up.
00:52:56Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
00:53:01You good?
00:53:01You good?
00:53:06You good?
00:53:09No, I don't want to die.
00:53:13Please, Ace, save me.
00:53:17Now that this job is complete, I don't have to worry about money ever again.
00:53:23Good job.
00:53:24Good job.
00:53:33Ah!
00:53:34Ah!
00:53:35Ah!
00:53:37Ah!
00:53:38Ah!
00:53:39Stop it.
00:53:41Drop your weapon or I'll blow your brains out.
00:53:43Good.
00:53:44Ace, don't do it.
00:53:45Drop your weapon!
00:53:53Good job.
00:53:53Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:53:55Good.
00:53:56Ah!
00:53:59Ah!
00:54:00Ah!
00:54:07Ah!
00:54:07Ah!
00:54:08Ah!
00:54:09No!
00:54:09No!
00:54:10No!
00:54:11Ah!
00:54:12Ah!
00:54:12Ah!
00:54:12Ah!
00:54:13Ah!
00:54:14Ah!
00:54:14Ah!
00:54:15Ah!
00:54:15No!
00:54:15No!
00:54:18Are you crazy?
00:54:20He had a gun pointed at your head and you still went after it.
00:54:23I knew I lost you.
00:54:25It's going to be OK.
00:54:26I know exactly what he was doing when he asked me to close my eyes.
00:54:32It's over.
00:54:41Who sent you?
00:54:42Fuck!
00:54:45Okay, just get me a medic. I don't want to die.
00:54:47You're going to get some help as soon as you give me some fucking answers.
00:54:49So talk!
00:54:52It's Houston.
00:54:54He paid me to kill Carter.
00:54:55Where? Thank you, Emelina.
00:54:57There's proof.
00:54:58Where?
00:54:59My left jacket pocket. Just drink it!
00:55:05That idiot Carter Pearson and the five million dollars is yours.
00:55:13Why would he murder his own brother? My father's been nothing but content.
00:55:22Cups are on the way. Everything's fine.
00:55:25Yes, I don't understand.
00:55:27Houston was the company's second largest shareholder. What more could he possibly want?
00:55:32Why would he murder my father?
00:55:35And in front of me, too?
00:55:37I'm going to have to live with that image scarred into the back of my mind for the rest of my life.
00:55:41Some people just want more.
00:55:43And it's never enough. They're just greedy, and they're monsters, and you never have to think about them again, okay?
00:55:48It's over.
00:55:50Over.
00:55:54I'm going to go home.
00:55:56Hey, let's go.
00:55:57Please pull over.
00:56:09What's wrong?
00:56:10Your arm. It's bleeding.
00:56:12Didn't you notice?
00:56:13No, I didn't notice. It must have happened during the fight.
00:56:16You're unbelievable.
00:56:19It's fine.
00:56:21Just pull over right up there.
00:56:22It's fine.
00:56:22No, I'll take care of it. We'll stop for a minute.
00:56:35Ace, why did you cheat on me all those years ago?
00:56:39Well, come on.
00:56:40Tell me the truth, or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel it.
00:56:44Hey, look, I screwed up, but that's in the past. I just want to move forward, okay?
00:56:57Ace, be honest with me. Do you still love me?
00:57:00Come on, don't try and dodge the question.
00:57:03Today you could have called for backup, but you didn't.
00:57:05You charged right in to save me.
00:57:07If you didn't care about me, you wouldn't have gone to such extremes.
00:57:13I love you.
00:57:15Always have. Never stop. Not even for a second.
00:57:18I believe you this time.
00:57:20Let's start fresh.
00:57:22I love you, Elena. I've always loved you.
00:57:32Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg checked ASAP.
00:57:35I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said if you don't get treated soon, your leg may forever lose sensation.
00:57:44Today we're here to talk about my healthcare reform strategy.
00:57:48You can't even heal your personal life.
00:57:51The news came out, and this company's stock prices fell another five points.
00:57:55And yet you still think you can push through reforms.
00:57:58I'm the first to object.
00:58:00Elena, do you know how the other healthcare companies are mocking us?
00:58:03They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.
00:58:07Uncle 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?
00:58:18Like hiring someone to kill my father.
00:58:25Like hiring someone to kill my father.
00:58:31That's slander.
00:58:32Your father was killed by an angry citizen who is dissatisfied with the current healthcare system.
00:58:37What does that have to do with me?
00:58:38Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson, and the five million dollars is yours.
00:58:49I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson, and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
00:58:55I hereby declare that Houston Pearson is immediately stripped of all his duties within this group.
00:59:07You murdered my father and tried to kill me.
00:59:10You need to pay for your crimes.
00:59:12You need to pay for your crimes.
00:59:14Who do you think you are?
00:59:15Do you think you can kick me out of Pearson Group?
00:59:18I gave everything to this company.
00:59:21Why should you, the daughter of that idiot Carter Pearson, inherit this company?
00:59:24What is wrong with increasing the claim denial rate?
00:59:28This company's profits doubled because I developed AI technology that increased our claim denial rate to 40%, the highest in the industry.
00:59:36And that old fool Carter, he dared to yell at me over this.
00:59:40He deserved to die.
00:59:42Every accomplishment you've made has been riding off to the coattails of struggling people and my father's life.
00:59:48And you show no remorse for them.
00:59:50You're a monster.
00:59:53Double.
00:59:54Raise your hands.
01:00:01Houston Pearson, your honor and arrest for first-degree murder.
01:00:24All those in favor of implementing my healthcare reform strategy, raise your hand.
01:00:54Very well.
01:00:57It seems the majority has voted yes.
01:00:59I declare that the healthcare reform plan, with the slogan, deliver, declare, and disclose, has officially passed and will be implemented immediately.
01:01:10Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.
01:01:31Great day, guys.
01:01:32Congrats, you two.
01:01:36Looks like you guys are officially back together.
01:01:38Should I be planning your reunion party?
01:01:40That's enough.
01:01:41That's enough.
01:01:41Oh, Miss Pearson, if your father could see you now, he'd be so proud.
01:01:46Thank you so much, guys.
01:01:51If it hadn't been for you, I don't think my healthcare reform plan would have passed.
01:01:56Especially you, Ace.
01:01:59I don't know what I would have done without you.
01:02:01Well, I'll always be your rock.
01:02:08Cheers!
01:02:09Heck yeah.
01:02:10Hey.
01:02:22Hey.
01:02:24Are you looking for me?
01:02:26Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal and is trying to make everyone join him.
01:02:31Followers keep me an eye on him.
01:02:33I don't have any time to waste on that stuff.
01:02:35I guess I have to reserve all my energy for you if you want.
01:02:43Mr. Atkins, your duties as a bodyguard are officially over.
01:02:48What's next on your agenda?
01:02:50I have a few ideas.
01:03:05What's wrong?
01:03:24What's wrong?
01:03:26Nothing.
01:03:26I don't know if we're in the right place or if it's the right time.
01:03:35What?
01:03:37After everything we've been through, Ace, I thought we were past this.
01:03:40I know, but I...
01:03:42But what?
01:03:46I just...
01:03:47I don't think we should rush into this.
01:03:49I think we should think this through, okay?
01:03:51You're a jerk.
01:03:52You're a jerk.
01:03:56I'm an asshole.
01:04:01Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:04:02Ace?
01:04:29Ace!
01:04:31It's okay.
01:04:31Ace!
01:04:32It's okay. He's dead. It's all right.
01:04:42Oh my god, Miss Pearson! I'm going to call an ambulance!
01:04:52Is he going to be okay, Doctor?
01:05:02Don't tell me about a prosthetic leg.
01:05:09All right. I respect your wishes.
01:05:15Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:05:18His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:05:23Thank you, Doctor.
01:05:25By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:05:28Okay, I'll go there now then.
01:05:32Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:05:36Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:05:42According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives,
01:05:46has been involved in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.
01:05:50The killer was hired by him.
01:05:52What? Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:05:56Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:05:59You can rest assured that with Houston's testimony,
01:06:02all related individuals have been arrested.
01:06:04You're safe.
01:06:06Considering your bodyguard was injured,
01:06:08the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:06:11You can rest.
01:06:13I'm gonna pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:06:18Ace?
01:06:19Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete, and you're no longer in danger, so it's time for me to leave.
01:06:23I just wanted to say goodbye, and I wish you all the best. Ace.
01:06:40What the hell? You're leaving me again?
01:06:44I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:07:09It's her. The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:07:13So you're a physical therapist?
01:07:16That's your daughter and husband?
01:07:18Yes.
01:07:19I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:07:22You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
01:07:25This involves Ace's privacy, and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:07:30But, Alina, I assure you Ace did not betray you.
01:07:34Then why?
01:07:36Why did he lie to me, make me hate him, and break up with me?
01:07:40I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
01:07:44But I think that, deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:07:49He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:07:51Alina, what are you doing there?
01:07:59Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital, and he just left me a note. Do you know where he is?
01:08:03What?
01:08:05Doesn't he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:08:12What do you mean, prosthetic leg?
01:08:15Oh, man. I wasn't supposed to say that.
01:08:18Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
01:08:22Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat.
01:08:26Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you.
01:08:30So, he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
01:08:34Later, after you got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person.
01:08:38He thought a great girl like you deserved better.
01:08:41So, he avoided you at critical moments.
01:08:43Go check out the rehabilitation center. He's getting his new prosthetic leg fit right now.
01:08:51We'll find him, Alina.
01:08:53Ace, you jerk. How could you keep something so important from me?
01:08:57This time, I won't let you go. I won't let you walk away again.
01:09:02Fortunately, you came in time. The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves.
01:09:05With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:09:09This one is nearly made for you. Try it.
01:09:12Thanks.
01:09:35This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:09:46This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:49What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. You need to leave.
01:09:54This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:58Alina, you shouldn't be seeing me like this. I need you to leave right now.
01:10:02Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:10:05Do you really think that little of me?
01:10:08That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
01:10:11How was I supposed to tell you this, Alina?
01:10:13I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:10:18Huh?
01:10:20I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.
01:10:24I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:10:25I mean, just fucking look at me, Alina! I can't even stand up straight!
01:10:28But I love you!
01:10:29Ace, can't you see?
01:10:33No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you! Always!
01:10:42Why not come on? Why?
01:10:44Just stop pushing me away!
01:10:47Ace Adkins, you listen to me right now.
01:10:49You have left me. So many times. You can't keep running from me. I am here to stay. Got it?
01:11:02Ace Adkins, you listen to me.
01:11:04Ace Adkins, you listen to me.
01:11:20Nothing feels uncomfortable? Mom, don't try and be tough.
01:11:24No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:11:28So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
01:11:32I'm disabled, and I might become a burden to you when we're older. Have you thought about that?
01:11:37If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.
01:11:44I love Ace Adkins. The person, not the leg.
01:11:49So what if you're missing a leg? I would love you all the same.
01:11:52Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:11:54No. No. Of course not. I will always be by your side.
01:12:02Then let me do the same. I am choosing you, okay?
01:12:10Got it.
01:12:11Miss Pearson, your compensation clause for critical illness is saved by daughter's life.
01:12:31Miss Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success, making you the most popular CEO in the U.S.
01:12:37What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:12:41I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great planning, but also because of my fiancé, Ace Adkins.
01:12:52His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
01:13:07Thanks all you have.
