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
00:06:16they're going to be giving all your weapons
00:06:25they're going to be
00:06:25I think it's good
00:06:46Looks 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,
00:07:05or will she be next on the assassin's list?
00:07:08Josh, can you bring me my headset and my jacket, please?
00:07:11Ace, you're the CEO of the company.
00:07:14You could totally assign someone else to handle in this case.
00:07:17So you heard the news too, huh?
00:07:18Think anyone's going to protect her like I would, Josh?
00:07:22I'll handle it.
00:07:31Elena, today you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:07:37But we will vote to dismiss you as CEO. Simple as that.
00:07:40Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:07:46Have 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?
00:08:02Elena, 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.
00:08:07Get your hands off her.
00:08:28No way. That voice. It can't be him.
00:08:34It can't be him.
00:08:36Yeah!
00:08:44Long time no see, Miss Pearson.
00:08:46I'm your personal bodyguard.
00:08:51It's been three years.
00:08:53I've missed you, Elena.
00:08:54You're my what?
00:08:55Jesus, Elena.
00:08:56Did you do something about your bodyguard?
00:08:59Stupid or something?
00:09:00You insult my boss again.
00:09:04You're going to be the one that needs some fucking health care.
00:09:07Okay, everyone out of my boardroom.
00:09:13Leave!
00:09:14Or 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, Elena.
00:09:19And that's to get rid of them.
00:09:21Just like I got rid of your father.
00:09:22What are you doing here?
00:09:28No one told me anything about needing personal bodyguard.
00:09:32Miss Pearson.
00:09:34Mr. Atkins.
00:09:36I'm Oliver, the family butler.
00:09:38Miss.
00:09:39Mr. Ace Atkins is the most sought-after bodyguard in America.
00:09:44Now, as per the contract,
00:09:45he 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.
00:09:59I 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?
00:10:14I 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.
00:10:24Healthcare CEOs are on high alert right now,
00:10:26and, uh, well,
00:10:27I 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
00:10:36is you being my bodyguard.
00:10:39The contract's already signed,
00:10:40so 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.
00:10:51Are 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.
00:11:00No, I'm not.
00:11:04The rational thing to do is to think of your safety right now,
00:11:07so just let me protect you.
00:11:08Only an idiot wouldn't trust their safety
00:11:11to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:11:14Let go.
00:11:19Take me home.
00:11:23I'll wait up.
00:11:27Asshole.
00:11:28You broke my heart.
00:11:29Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:11:31That's odd.
00:11:38I turned off the lights when I left the house, right?
00:11:46Someone broke in.
00:11:48The killer?
00:11:48The killer?
00:11:51Ah!
00:11:52Ah!
00:11:56Ah!
00:11:59Ah!
00:12:00Ah!
00:12:01I'm so surprised, princess.
00:12:11Didn't you know you were going to be next?
00:12:15No.
00:12:16I don't want to die, please.
00:12:17Someone help me.
00:12:20No.
00:12:20No.
00:12:21No.
00:12:27I don't want to die.
00:12:30I don't want to die.
00:12:32Ah!
00:12:37No!
00:12:38No!
00:12:39No!
00:12:44No!
00:12:45Where are you?
00:12:55Oh, God!
00:12:59I thought I was gonna die!
00:13:01You're safe.
00:13:03You're hurt. You're alright.
00:13:05You saved me.
00:13:07Mace.
00:13:11You're bleeding.
00:13:13He might be an asshole, but damn.
00:13:15He's even harder than he used to be.
00:13:17He's still got that same glow.
00:13:19God, I missed her.
00:13:23Do you remember the last time we, uh...
00:13:25in the bathroom?
00:13:39He's harder.
00:13:41I don't know.
00:13:47That guy got you in the leg too, right?
00:13:49I should wrap that up.
00:13:51He tried to stab me in the leg and he missed.
00:13:55It's fine.
00:13:57I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:14:01Is there something wrong?
00:14:03It's fine.
00:14:05Okay.
00:14:11It's fine.
00:14:13It's fine.
00:14:15I don't know.
00:14:17I don't know.
00:14:19It's fine.
00:14:21It's fine.
00:14:23It's fine.
00:14:25It's fine.
00:14:27It's fine.
00:14:29It's fine.
00:14:31It's fine.
00:14:33It's fine.
00:14:35Oh!
00:14:36My...
00:14:37Am I interrupting?
00:14:39No.
00:14:40No.
00:14:41No.
00:14:42Ace...
00:14:43Cut himself.
00:14:44And...
00:14:45I was just helping him address the wound.
00:14:47Mr. Atkins, I, um...
00:14:49Brought your luggage up.
00:14:51Great.
00:14:52Oh...
00:14:53Wait.
00:14:54He's not staying with me.
00:14:55Why...
00:14:56Yes, Miss Pearson.
00:14:57Of 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...
00:15:13I can't...
00:15:14I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:15:18You must understand.
00:15:20You might very well be the next target.
00:15:23If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:15:30Fine.
00:15:31I'll let you win.
00:15:33Brilliant.
00:15:35Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hands.
00:15:45I'll take a bullet for her.
00:15:53Um...
00:15:54You're the first door on the left.
00:15:59You can stay there.
00:16:01Hello, Atkins.
00:16:02Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:16:04We broke up three years ago, and that's that.
00:16:07Now, if you're gonna be staying here, we need to establish some boundaries.
00:16:11So, here's how it's gonna go.
00:16:13You are gonna do your job as my bodyguard, and I'm gonna live my life.
00:16:17Nothing else.
00:16:18Is that clear?
00:16:20Crystal.
00:16:21I can unpack my stuff.
00:16:24Is this his wallet?
00:16:37You said you never left me, so why do you have a phone with me inside your wallet?
00:16:52I checked the house.
00:16:53It's all clear.
00:16:54It's safe to sleep.
00:16:55Great.
00:16:56Thanks.
00:16:57I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:16:58I'm gonna go to bed now.
00:17:22You.
00:17:23I'm going to go to bed, I already The
00:17:31Mullet.
00:17:36good pores what you are coming in I'm not sure bringing any towels.
00:17:39You can crash.
00:17:40I just see where it goes.
00:17:41You seem so unreasonable.
00:17:46It's not like I haven't seen you yet.
00:18:02Be professional.
00:18:04I'm still your boss, remember?
00:18:10Yes, ma'am.
00:18:16You've changed a lot, Lena.
00:18:33And after all these years, I still feel the same about you.
00:18:36You've changed a lot, Lena.
00:18:46Hey, sir, I have some scar cream for you.
00:18:52Yeah, just hold on a second.
00:18:53One minute.
00:18:58Hey, what's up?
00:19:02Just have something for scars.
00:19:06I can put it on.
00:19:08Great.
00:19:16I'm surprised that you still, uh, show this much care for me still.
00:19:24Get over yourself.
00:19:26I'm 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.
00:19:34Okay.
00:19:37Let's...
00:19:39Hey, what is with you and this blanket?
00:19:47I saw that guy get you in the leg.
00:19:50I think it's fine.
00:19:52Just sitting.
00:19:54That's how I sit.
00:19:55I call BS.
00:19:57Let me see it.
00:19:57I'm hiding something under there.
00:20:12Maybe I'm hiding the owner to see it.
00:20:20I'm...
00:20:20You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:20:24You're my bodyguard.
00:20:25You 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.
00:20:54I'm not wearing that.
00:20:55You can either do it yourself
00:20:56or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:20:59And I can do it.
00:21:00And if you ask me,
00:21:01I prefer the latter.
00:21:01Okay, I can do it myself.
00:21:10May I?
00:21:11Oh, I got it.
00:21:25Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:21:32It's fine.
00:21:33Yeah.
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?
00:21:46What?
00:21:46That idiot calls himself a hitman.
00:21:48He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:21:51Chad, I'm leaving this to you.
00:21:54Seduce Elena, get her under your thumb, and Pearson health care is ours.
00:21:58Consider it done.
00:21:58Jesus, Chad.
00:22:05How many times have I told you to knock?
00:22:08Well, anymore.
00:22:09You only didn't remember.
00:22:11I remember.
00:22:13But I'm swamped from work and planning a funeral, so can we take a brain check?
00:22:17Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:22:20You've been working too hard since your father passed.
00:22:22This is how people get burned down.
00:22:23You need to take some time off to relax.
00:22:25Yes.
00:22:28Yeah.
00:22:34You know what?
00:22:35Let's do dinner.
00:22:40Great.
00:22:52Sir, this is a table for two.
00:22:57Why don't you go sit over there?
00:22:58I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:04I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times, but thanks for checking in.
00:23:23Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:23:33You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:23:34Go ahead.
00:23:35I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:23:45Here, have a taste.
00:23:46Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:23:53I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:23:55Well, Mr. Atkins, seeing that you're Elena's bodyguard, I didn't find it appropriate for you to be drinking on the job now.
00:24:04My apologies.
00:24:07Elena.
00:24:07I 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.
00:24:19Um, sorry, Chad, I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:24:26Um, can we eat?
00:24:29Starving.
00:24:30Um, yeah.
00:24:31Sam.
00:24:33A mango salad.
00:24:35God.
00:24:38Oh, hey, Sam, sorry 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?
00:24:45I'll see what I can do about that.
00:24:51Wait, didn't you two just meet?
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, and 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.
00:25:09Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:25:39What was that tonight?
00:25:42If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:25:45She thinks that you want to see them.
00:25:49You ever think about that?
00:25:50How could I forget?
00:25:52Right, and you shattered my heart.
00:25:55Save it!
00:25:57I'll just go home.
00:25:58Your funeral preparation's to make anyway.
00:26:03I'm sorry, Elena.
00:26:05I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:26:07I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:26:14Elena!
00:26:16Elena?
00:26:17Dad!
00:26:18You're back!
00:26:29Dad!
00:26:32What's going on?
00:26:33I'm here, okay?
00:26:36You're safe.
00:26:39I had a dream about my dad.
00:26:42One second he was smiling at me, and then the next.
00:26:53I just doubt myself sometimes.
00:26:57Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:27:00You have a strong squadron I've ever known, and I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:27:14Besides, I'm going to be right here all the time supporting you, protecting you.
00:27:20Protecting me?
00:27:20Do you really think that I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:27:28Look, our relationship dies in the past.
00:27:32But I would protect you with my life.
00:27:34I'd die for you.
00:27:35I need you to understand that.
00:27:39So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:27:48So you would die for me, but you won't love me?
00:28:05Stay with me.
00:28:14I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:28:18You're my bodyguard.
00:28:20And I'm scared.
00:28:24Stay with me.
00:28:26So I can feel safe.
00:28:27If 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 could...
00:29:04fight your way out.
00:29:07First case scenario.
00:29:13What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:29:20Um...
00:29:21No. All the pushing in the wall won't do anything.
00:29:24Try putting your hand on the more vulnerable place.
00:29:30That one there.
00:29:32And that one there.
00:29:34Push as hard as you can.
00:29:38Oh.
00:29:39Right. Nice.
00:29:44All right.
00:29:45Second scenario.
00:29:46What if somebody...
00:29:48What if somebody...
00:29:49Had you like this?
00:29:56What if somebody...
00:29:59Had you like this?
00:30:02It's just self-defense training.
00:30:03Don't let it get to you, Elena.
00:30:05I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:30:13Like...
00:30:14Stomping on the foot.
00:30:18Very nice.
00:30:19You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:30:22Okay.
00:30:23Third scenario.
00:30:24You ready?
00:30:26All right.
00:30:26What?
00:30:33Someone's got you like this.
00:30:35Starts choking you.
00:30:37Um...
00:30:38You gotta be quick.
00:30:39This...
00:30:41No.
00:30:42Use your hips.
00:30:44What?
00:30:45Use your hips to thrust me off of you.
00:30:47As hard as you can.
00:30:50Ace, are you okay?
00:30:54Did I hurt your leg?
00:30:55No.
00:30:55What was that sound?
00:31:00It hurt my leg.
00:31:02It's fine.
00:31:02That was a good job.
00:31:04No.
00:31:04You'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 justified.
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 sounds weird.
00:31:24Ace 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.
00:31:39Hi, 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.
00:32:08At 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.
00:32:17All right.
00:32:20I got to go check out on Ace and the new equipment.
00:32:22It was nice meeting you all.
00:32:25Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:32:28What does that even mean?
00:32:30Yeah, thanks, Josh.
00:32:31Everything looks great.
00:32:32Okay.
00:32:36Ace.
00:32:37Alina asked about your leg.
00:32:41What'd you say?
00:32:45What'd you say?
00:32:46Don't worry.
00:32:47I didn't 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.
00:32:54I appreciate your input, Josh, but I think I know what's best for Alina at night.
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?
00:33:19All right.
00:33:19All right.
00:33:19All right.
00:33:19All right.
00:33:20All right.
00:33:20Almighty God, in your mercy, turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life and the
00:33:39sorrow of parting into the joy of heaven, who our Savior, Jesus Christ, who died, rose again,
00:33:46and 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, he would
00:34:00never rest in peace.
00:34:02He was your brother.
00:34:04If you had even a shred of affection for him, you would never say something like that
00:34:07at 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.
00:34:34I'm sorry for your loss.
00:35:04It's enough.
00:35:10This 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.
00:35:16Right here.
00:35:27Not going anywhere.
00:35:28Not going anywhere.
00:35:37Don't go.
00:35:41Don't go.
00:35:41Don't go.
00:35:41Don't go.
00:35:46Can you promise you won't leave me again?
00:35:50I promise.
00:35:51I'll never leave you again.
00:35:54Josh 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.
00:36:04Yes.
00:36:12That's someone who's 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.
00:36:39No.
00:36:40No.
00:36:40No.
00:36:40No.
00:37:01Oh my God, I drank too much.
00:37:20Did we sleep together?
00:37:23Shower?
00:37:25Get your breakfast.
00:37:25Last night, we...
00:37:31You were drunk.
00:37:32Very drunk.
00:37:33And took care of you.
00:37:34And that was it.
00:37:35He's not going to mention the kiss?
00:37:38Jerk.
00:37:39Huh.
00:37:40Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me, Mr. Bodyguard.
00:37:45You've been far angrier about the health care reforms than my own father's murder.
00:37:59Haven't you dealt with that bitchy, Lina, yet?
00:38:01She's starting to suspect I had something to do with her father's death.
00:38:03She's hard to handle.
00:38:05The bodyguard of hers is practically glued onto her.
00:38:08I can never get her alone and make any real progress.
00:38:10This I'm not doing.
00:38:12She's been lobbying aggressively within the company.
00:38:14Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:38:17If she keeps this up, I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:38:21What do you want me to do?
00:38:23Company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:38:26Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board, which you're going to do.
00:38:29Is 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 your form.
00:38:40Kill two birds with one stone.
00:38:41I like that.
00:38:41Exactly.
00:38:42The media will be there, and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:38:45There'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 this person.
00:39:02He's bad.
00:39:03For ages, his persistence is kind of impressive.
00:39:05Chad, 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.
00:39:27See you later.
00:39:27See you later.
00:39:35How 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.
00:40:10We'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,
00:40:39but 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 will seriously consider it.
00:41:10Our company has faced challenges recently,
00:41:13but on this special night,
00:41:17our new CEO,
00:41:18Ms. Elena Pearson,
00:41:20would like to say a few words.
00:41:24Before Ms. Pearson says anything,
00:41:26I have a surprise for her.
00:41:31I have a surprise for her.
00:41:33Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:41:35Will 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!
00:41:56Marry him!
00:41:58Marry him!
00:41:59John, stand up.
00:42:00What are you doing?
00:42:01I don't...
00:42:02Come on, let's go.
00:42:04We're leaving.
00:42:06Woo!
00:42:21What the hell are you doing?
00:42:23Starving out like that in front of all those guests
00:42:24you've realized 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
00:42:29to 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.
00:42:38You 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,
00:42:47when you push me away over and over again.
00:42:50Even if I'd said yes to Chad's proposal,
00:42:52you would have nothing to do with it.
00:42:53You couldn't stop me.
00:43:01Alayna!
00:43:04Alayna, where are you?
00:43:08Alayna, 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?
00:43:47Yeah, I'm fine.
00:43:47Just...
00:43:48Just go.
00:43:53I don't know.
00:44:04Ace, you're a bastard.
00:44:06Look, I'm sorry about that,
00:44:08but that guy doesn't fucking deserve you.
00:44:09Oh, and you do?
00:44:11You 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...
00:44:23Alayna!
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?
00:44:32Alayna!
00:44:34What do you think?
00:44:36What 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,
00:44:45and 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?
00:44:50Alayna, I have been here soon for so long,
00:44:52and 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?
00:45:02Hmm?
00:45:03Everybody 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 meet again.
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,
00:45:20but deep down, you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:45:23You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.
00:45:27Boom!
00:45:27You're the real disgrace of the piercing group.
00:45:29Boom!
00:45:31Bravo!
00:45:31Bravo!
00:45:32You two are the perfect pair of adulterous.
00:45:33Hey, this must be nice, huh?
00:45:35I've been with your boss, sleeping with her on the side.
00:45:38Shut the fuck up.
00:45:39It's a matter of struck a 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.
00:45:52Boom!
00:45:53Oh!
00:45:54Come here!
00:45:56Come here!
00:45:57You 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 and I'll fucking kill her.
00:46:03You understand?
00:46:04Do you understand?
00:46:05Come here!
00:46:06Come here!
00:46:10You left me?
00:46:19Did you mean what you said?
00:46:22Please, just tell me the truth.
00:46:24That's all it takes for us to start over.
00:46:29No, 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.
00:46:46You'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.
00:47:03Look, I'm here to guard you.
00:47:10I'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 from me.
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.
00:47:29You can't handle one woman.
00:47:36Absolutely useless.
00:47:37God, our bitches!
00:47:38Let's screw everybody around the whole damn time!
00:47:40What do you want me to do?
00:47:41God, that 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,
00:47:50there'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.
00:48:09You 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.
00:48:20I know it's been a while,
00:48:21so I hope it tastes like...
00:48:23how you remember it.
00:48:25Oliver, what are you doing here?
00:48:40This is a signed first edition.
00:48:44Mr. Atkins went through several of his connections
00:48:47to track that down for you.
00:48:49And while you were at your meeting,
00:48:51she took it upon himself
00:48:53to redecorate your entire office.
00:49:02Do you really think gestures like these
00:49:04are going to make me forgive you?
00:49:05I just want you to be happy.
00:49:11Elena,
00:49:11whether you forgive me or not
00:49:13doesn't really matter.
00:49:15You have every right to hate me
00:49:16and to push me away
00:49:17if that's what you want.
00:49:18But please,
00:49:20just don't let this anger
00:49:22eat away at you.
00:49:24It wasn't your fault.
00:49:25None of it was.
00:49:27It was mine.
00:49:28Don'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.
00:49:41Okay.
00:49:41Ms. Pearson,
00:49:48if I may say,
00:49:50Mr. Atkins cares for you deeply.
00:49:53And from the way you look at him,
00:49:55it's clear you feel the same way.
00:49:58So why not just be together?
00:50:01No, you don't understand.
00:50:02Every time I take a step forward,
00:50:04he takes two steps back.
00:50:06It's not that simple.
00:50:08Well, then maybe you should
00:50:09take the lead.
00:50:11Valentine's Day
00:50:12is right around the corner.
00:50:15Why not use the occasion
00:50:16to clear the air
00:50:17and finally
00:50:19talk it through?
00:50:21Hmm?
00:50:23Maybe.
00:50:33Maybe you should
00:50:34take the lead.
00:50:37The first gift I ever gave Ace
00:50:39was a motorcycle
00:50:40and he loved it.
00:50:42Ace, stay here.
00:50:43I have a surprise for you.
00:50:48All right.
00:50:49And your order
00:50:49will be delivered tonight.
00:50:51Thank you so much.
00:50:51Thank you for shopping,
00:50:52Mrs. Pearson.
00:50:52Thank you, Mrs. Pearson.

00:51:04Thank you, Mrs. Pearson.
00:51:05Thank you, Mrs. Pearson.
00:51:06Thank you, Mrs. Pearson.
00:51:37Josh, Josh, Elinda's been taking. Activate the tracking system, get the cops involved. I'll go and answer them.
00:52:01Who are you? Look at this, it's about the company's health care reforms and I promise you I'm proposing a new plan.
00:52:07It's set to pass up Monday, so please don't kill me.
00:52:09Shut your mouth. This isn't about health care. You got it all wrong.
00:52:14What?
00:52:14My uncle hired you? He paid you to kill my dad?
00:52:24Ding, ding, ding, ding. Took you long enough to figure out. Daddy's little girl is so clever.
00:52:31Now sign the damn thing or I'll put a hole in your head!
00:52:34Okay, I'll sign. But you have to let me go after.
00:52:40Good. Sign it. Then you're free to go.
00:52:45He's lying. As soon as I sign, they'll kill me. Think, Elena, think.
00:52:49Hurry up. Don't try anything stupid or break your legs before you can escape.
00:52:56You good?
00:52:56No, I don't want to die. Please, Ace, save me.
00:53:12Now that this job is completed, I 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.
00:53:39Ace, don't do it.
00:53:40Drop your weapon!
00:53:42Good job. Close your eyes and walk toward me.
00:53:51Go ahead.
00:54:03No.
00:54:05No.
00:54:05No.
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 million dollars is yours.
00:55:04Why would he murder his own brother?
00:55:06Why would he murder his own brother?
00:55:10My father's been nothing but kind to him.
00:55:12The cops are on the way.
00:55:18Everything'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?
00:55:26Why 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 scarred 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 and you never have to think about them again, okay?
00:55:43It's over.
00:55:43I 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.
00:56:16Just 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 or I swear I will wrap this bandage around your arm so hard you can't feel it.
00:56:43Hey, 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.
00:57:06I love you.
00:57:10Always have.
00:57:10Never stop.
00:57:11Not even for a second.
00:57:13I believe you this time.
00:57:15Let's start fresh.
00:57:17I love you, Elena.
00:57:19I've always lied to you.
00:57:20I know.
00:57:20Dude, 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, your leg may forever lose sensation.
00:57:40Today we're here to talk about my healthcare 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 healthcare companies are mocking us?
00:57:59They're saying that we're spineless idiots because we let a woman become the CEO.
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.
00:58:17Like hiring someone to kill my father.
00:58:26That's slander.
00:58:27Your father was killed by an angry citizen who is dissatisfied with the current healthcare system.
00:58:32What does that have to do with me?
00:58:37Kill that idiot, Carter Pearson, and the five million dollars is yours.
00:58:41I testify that Houston Pearson paid me to kill Carter Pearson,
00:58:48and then he paid me to try to kill Elena Pearson.
00:58:56I 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.
00:59:07You 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.
00:59:46You're a monster.
00:59:49Double.
00:59:52Raise your hands.
00:59:56Houston Pearson, your honor of us for first degree murder.
01:00:07All those in favor of implementing my healthcare reform strategy, raise your hand.
01:00:34Very well.
01:00:52It seems the majority has voted.
01:00:54Yes.
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.
01:01:05Congratulations on the huge success of the healthcare reform.
01:01:26Bring it in, 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.
01:01:42Thank 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.
01:02:03Cheers!
01:02:05Heck yeah.
01:02:05Woo!
01:02:05Woo!
01:02:06Woo!
01:02:06Woo!
01:02:06Woo!
01:02:06Woo!
01:02:06Woo!
01:02:07Woo!
01:02:07Woo!
01:02:08Woo!
01:02:12Woo!
01:02:13Woo!
01:02:16Hey.
01:02:17Hey.
01:02:19Were you looking for me?
01:02:21Josh is out there drinking like a wild animal and...
01:02:23Just trying to make everyone join her.
01:02:26Followers keep me an eye on them.
01:02:28I 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.
01:03:09What's wrong?
01:03:19What's wrong?
01:03:21Nothing. Just, um...
01:03:24I 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?
01:03:39I 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.
01:03:55I love an asshole.
01:03:56Why does he keep pushing me away?
01:03:57Ace!
01:04:13Ace!
01:04:13Ace!
01:04:14Ace!
01:04:14It's okay.
01:04:26It's...
01:04:27It's okay.
01:04:27He's dead.
01:04:28It's all.
01:04:29Oh my god!
01:04:38Miss Pearson, I'm going to go to an ambulance.
01:04:47Is he going to be okay, doctor?
01:04:59Don't tell me about a...
01:05:01...by prosthetic leg.
01:05:05All right.
01:05:06I respect your wishes.
01:05:08Fortunately, the bullet didn't hit any vital organs.
01:05:14His physical condition is excellent, so he should recover quickly.
01:05:18Thank you, doctor.
01:05:20By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:05:24Okay, I'll go there now then.
01:05:29Officer, what's going on with the assassin?
01:05:32Why would someone try and kill me when Houston's already been apprehended?
01:05:34According 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?
01:05:51Ten 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.
01:06:00You're safe.
01:06:02Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:06:08You can rest.
01:06:10I'm going to pick up Ace's clothes, and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:06:15Ace?
01:06:15Ace?
01:06:21What the hell?
01:06:38You're leaving me again?
01:06:40I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:06:51It's her.
01:07:06The woman that Ace cheated on me with.
01:07:08So you're a physical therapist?
01:07:11That's your daughter and husband?
01:07:13Yes.
01:07:15I'm so sorry I deceived you three years ago.
01:07:18You didn't date Ace, so why did you help him deceive me?
01:07:20This 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?
01:07:35I think you're supposed to uncover the truth for yourself.
01:07:39But I think that, deep down, Ace really wants you to know everything.
01:07:44He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:07:50Alina, what are you doing there?
01:07:54Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital, and he just left me a note.
01:07:57Do 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
01:08:04leg?
01:08:07What do you mean, prosthetic leg?
01:08:08Oh, man.
01:08:12I was supposed to say that.
01:08:13Josh, what do you mean, prosthetic?
01:08:16All 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.
01:08:39Go check out the rehabilitation center.
01:08:44He's getting his new prosthetic leg fixed right now.
01:08:46We'll find him, then.
01:08:47Ace, 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.
01:09:01With treatment, you should recover naturally.
01:09:04This one is nearly made for you.
01:09:06Try it.
01:09:07Thanks.
01:09:31This is the secret you've been keeping for me?
01:09:41This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:44What are you doing here?
01:09:45You shouldn't be here.
01:09:46You need to leave.
01:09:49This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:53Elena, you shouldn't be seeing me like this.
01:09:56I need you to leave right now.
01:09:58Why wouldn't you just tell me?
01:10:00Do you really think that little of me?
01:10:03That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
01:10:06How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena?
01:10:07I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you?
01:10:14Huh?
01:10:15I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago.
01:10:19I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay?
01:10:20I mean, just fucking look at me, Elena.
01:10:22I can't even stand up straight.
01:10:23But I love you.
01:10:24Ace, can't you see?
01:10:28No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you.
01:10:32Always.
01:10:37Elena, come on.
01:10:38Why?
01:10:39Stop pushing me away.
01:10:43Ace Adkins, you listen to me right now.
01:10:45You have left me so many times.
01:10:51You can't keep running from me.
01:10:53I am here to stay.
01:10:56Got it?
01:10:56I'm here to stay.
01:10:58I'm here to stay.
01:11:15Nothing feels uncomfortable?
01:11:18Mom, don't try and be tough.
01:11:20No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:11:23So, you know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this.
01:11:27I'm disabled and I might become a burden to you when we're older.
01:11:32Have you thought about that?
01:11:33If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off.
01:11:40I love Ace Adkins.
01:11:42The person, not the leg.
01:11:44So what if you're missing a leg?
01:11:45I would love you all the same.
01:11:47Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:11:52No.
01:11:53Of course not.
01:11:55I'll always be by your side.
01:11:57Then let me do the same.
01:12:00I am choosing you, okay?
01:12:02I got it.
01:12:17Ms. 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 CEO in the U.S.?
01:12:32What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:12:36I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great planning, but also because of my fiancé, Ace Adkins.
01:12:47His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
01:12:50His love helped me overcome all these difficulties.
01:13:11Oh
