00:06:39oh
00:06:39oh
00:06:40oh
00:06:40oh
00:06:41Looks like you all need some more training still.
00:06:59Got a long way to go.
00:07:03Will the healthcare heiress be able to bring about meaningful reform, or will she be next
00:07:06on 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 common.
00:07:14You could totally assign someone else to handle Lena's 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.
00:07:31Lena, today you're going to follow my plan to increase healthcare prices.
00:07:37We will vote to dismiss you as CEO.
00:07:39Simple as that.
00:07:40Without the board's approval, you have no right to dismiss me.
00:07:50Have you lost your mind?
00:07:54Forcing a signature is illegal.
00:07:56No one here will testify against me.
00:07:58Just 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.
00:08:10Get your hands off of her.
00:08:29No way.
00:08:30That voice.
00:08:31It can't be him.
00:08:32It can't be him.
00:08:36Yeah.
00:08:44Long 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.
00:09:07Everyone out of my boardroom.
00:09:14Leave.
00:09:14Or you're fired.
00:09:15I don't give a shit.
00:09:16You'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.
00:09:32Miss 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, 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.
00:09:59I 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.
00:10:12Oliver, 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, 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.
00:10:34The 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.
00:10:53Are you afraid you're going to fall in love with me again?
00:10:56Why is my heart beating so fast?
00:10:58You don't know what you're doing.
00:10:59No.
00:11:00No, I'm not.
00:11:01No, I'm not.
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 would entrust their safety to someone who cheated on them while they were engaged.
00:11:14Let go.
00:11:19Take me home.
00:11:23Alayna!
00:11:27Asshole.
00:11:28You broke my heart.
00:11:29Now you come back into my life like it's nothing?
00:11:34You broke my heart.
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?
00:11:48I'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.
00:12:18I don't want to die.
00:12:48I'm so scared.
00:12:49I thought I was going to die.
00:12:51I thought I was going to die.
00:12:56You're safe.
00:12:57You're hurt.
00:12:58You're all right?
00:12:59You saved me.
00:13:00You're safe. You're hurt. Are you all right?
00:13:04You saved me.
00:13:06Mace.
00:13:10You're bleeding.
00:13:14He might be an asshole, but damn, he's even harder than he used to be.
00:13:18He's still got that same glow. God, I missed her.
00:13:23Do you remember the last time we, uh, in the bathroom?
00:13:30He's hard.
00:13:40Yes, ma'am.
00:13:45That guy got you in the leg too, right? I should wrap that up.
00:13:50He tried to stab me in the leg and he missed. It's fine.
00:13:55I saw the knife go straight into your leg.
00:14:00He says, is there something wrong?
00:14:02That's fine.
00:14:03Good.
00:14:30Oh! My...
00:14:37Am I interrupting?
00:14:39No. Uh, no.
00:14:40Ace, uh, cut himself and I was just helping him address the wound.
00:14:47Oh.
00:14:48Oh, Mr. Atkins, I, uh, brought your luggage up here.
00:14:52Oh, wait. He's not staying with me.
00:14:54Why, yes, Miss Pearson. Of course.
00:14:57That'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. I, I can't...
00:15:13I can't let my ex-boyfriend live with me as my bodyguard.
00:15:16You must understand. You might very well be the next target. If you fail to understand this, then I shall have to tender my letter of resignation.
00:15:28Fine. I'll let you win.
00:15:33Brilliant.
00:15:35Mr. Atkins, from here on out, Miss Pearson's safety is in your hand.
00:15:45I'll take a bullet for her.
00:15:46Um, you're the first door on the left. You can stay there.
00:16:01I'll wait, I can see.
00:16:02Ace, let's just address the elephant in the room.
00:16:05We 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.
00:16:11So, here's how it's going to go. You are going to do your job as my bodyguard and I'm going to live my life.
00:16:17Nothing else.
00:16:19Is that clear?
00:16:21Crystal.
00:16:23I can unpack my stuff.
00:16:36Is this his wallet?
00:16:41You said you never left me, so why do you have a phone with me inside your wallet?
00:16:58I checked the house. It's all clear. Safe to sleep.
00:17:01Great. Thanks.
00:17:03I'm going to go to bed now.
00:17:11ç” compliments.
00:17:29She's out.
00:17:36Sorry.
00:17:38I thought you were in danger.
00:17:39Just hand me that towel.
00:17:54It's not like I haven't seen you.
00:18:02Be professional. I'm still your boss, remember?
00:18:10Yes, ma'am.
00:18:30You'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.
00:18:41Yeah, just hold on a second. One minute.
00:18:45Hey, what's up?
00:18:49Just... I have something for scars.
00:18:53I can put it on.
00:18:54Great.
00:18:55I'm surprised that you still...
00:18:56show this much care for me still.
00:18:57You know, for yourself?
00:18:58Yeah, what's up?
00:19:02Just... I have something for scars.
00:19:06I can put it on.
00:19:08Great.
00:19:09You're just helping you because I'm nice.
00:19:10Right on.
00:19:11Calm yourself.
00:19:12You're just helping you because I'm nice.
00:19:13Right on.
00:19:14Calm yourself.
00:19:15He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:19:16Okay?
00:19:17Love.
00:19:18Okay.
00:19:19Hey, what is with you and this blanket?
00:19:20I saw that guy.
00:19:21You're just helping me.
00:19:22You're just helping me because I'm nice.
00:19:23Right on.
00:19:24Calm yourself.
00:19:25You're just helping me because I'm nice.
00:19:26Right on.
00:19:27Calm yourself.
00:19:28He's just a stupid ex with a hot body.
00:19:29Okay.
00:19:30Then...
00:19:31Hey, what is with you and this blanket?
00:19:46I 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.
00:19:54I can't BS.
00:19:56Let me see it.
00:20:01I'm hiding something under there.
00:20:11Maybe I'm hiding a boner to see it.
00:20:23You're not my boyfriend anymore.
00:20:24You're my bodyguard.
00:20:26You should keep things professional.
00:20:31You're right, Elena.
00:20:38I'm just your bodyguard.
00:20:48Elena, I 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.
00:20:54You can either do it yourself or I could strip your clothes off for you.
00:20:57And I can do it.
00:20:58And if you ask me, I'll strip her the ladder.
00:21:00Okay.
00:21:01I can do it myself.
00:21:10May I?
00:21:11Oh, I got it.
00:21:27Why does he have to be so damn attractive?
00:21:30It's fine.
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 assassination didn't go as planned?
00:21:46That idiot calls himself a hitman.
00:21:47He can't handle a defenseless woman.
00:21:50Chad, I'm leaving this to you.
00:21:53Seduce Elena.
00:21:54Get her under your thumb.
00:21:55And Pearson Healthcare is ours.
00:21:57Consider it done.
00:22:04Jesus, Chad.
00:22:05How many times have I told you to knock?
00:22:07Well, anymore.
00:22:09You owe me dinner, remember?
00:22:11I remember.
00:22:13But I'm swamped from work and planning a funeral.
00:22:15So can we take the brain check?
00:22:16Let me handle the funeral preparations.
00:22:19You'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.
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:34You know what?
00:22:35Let's do dinner.
00:22:39Great.
00:22:49Sir, this is a table for two.
00:22:56Why don't you go sit over that?
00:22:58I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:22:59I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times, but thanks for checking in.
00:23:11Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:23:12You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:23:13Go ahead.
00:23:1482 a fight.
00:23:15I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:16I'm Miss Pearson's bodyguard.
00:23:17I've got to keep a tight perimeter around her at all times, but thanks for checking in.
00:23:22Well, don't let me interrupt.
00:23:23You guys haven't ordered yet.
00:23:24Go ahead.
00:23:2582 a fight.
00:23:26Your favorite.
00:23:27I found a collector who was willing to sell it to me.
00:23:42Here, have a taste.
00:23:44Hey, I find it kind of rude, Chad, that you're not offering me a drink.
00:23:49I am attending this dinner with the two of you, aren't I?
00:23:56Mr. 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, 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.
00:24:23Sorry, Chad, I'm not really in the mood to talk about all that.
00:24:26Um, can we eat?
00:24:29Starving.
00:24:30Yeah, Sam.
00:24:34A mango salad.
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.
00:24:50Wait, didn't you two just meet?
00:24:53How would he know that you don't like mangoes?
00:24:54How 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.
00:25:14Okay, something's definitely going on with Elena and her bodyguard.
00:25:16Okay.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:17Okay.
00:25:18Okay.
00:25:18Okay.
00:25:18Okay.
00:25:19Okay.
00:25:19Okay.
00:25:19Okay.
00:25:20Okay.
00:25:20Okay.
00:25:21Okay.
00:25:22Okay.
00:25:23Okay.
00:25:24What was that tonight?
00:25:41If I didn't know any better, I'd think you might be jealous of Chad.
00:25:44I just didn't think so.
00:25:46I just didn't want to see that.
00:25:49You ever think about that?
00:25:50How could I forget?
00:25:52Right.
00:25:52You shattered my heart.
00:25:54Save it.
00:25:56I'll just go home.
00:25:58I have funeral preparations to make anyway.
00:26:04I'm sorry, Elena.
00:26:05I was just trying to give you a better life.
00:26:08I didn't think it would hurt you this much.
00:26:14Elena.
00:26:16Elena?
00:26:17Dad.
00:26:18You're back.
00:26:19You're back.
00:26:19You're back.
00:26:19You're back.
00:26:19You're back.
00:26:21You're back.
00:26:22You're back.
00:26:23Ah!
00:26:23You're back.
00:26:25Ugh!
00:26:28Dad!
00:26:29Dad!
00:26:32What's going on?
00:26:33What?
00:26:34Are you safe?
00:26:35You're provocateur's fine.
00:26:36I'm here, okay?
00:26:36You're safe?
00:26:37safe. I had a dream about my dad. One second he was smiling at me and then the next. I
00:26:53just doubt myself sometimes. Do you really think that I can make a change in this industry?
00:27:07You have a strong smile I've ever known. And I think that you can do anything that you set your heart on.
00:27:13Besides, I'm going to be right here all the time supporting you, protecting you.
00:27:19Protecting me? Do you really think I can trust you after what you've put me through?
00:27:27Look, our relationship has in the past. But I would protect you with my life. I'd die for you.
00:27:36I need you to understand that.
00:27:38So 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?
00:28:06Stay with me.
00:28:11I thought you wanted to keep things professional.
00:28:15You're my bodyguard. And I'm scared. Stay with me so I can feel safe.
00:28:28If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:28:42What are we doing here?
00:28:44I'm going to teach you some basic self-defense techniques.
00:28:46You know, just in case. Always got to be prepared.
00:28:48What I mean is, in case I die first and you're still in danger, you can find your way out.
00:28:52First case scenario.
00:28:54If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:28:56If only I could stay by your side like this forever.
00:28:58What are we doing here?
00:29:00If only I die first and you're still in danger, you could find your way out.
00:29:06First case scenario.
00:29:12What would you do if someone had you against a wall like this?
00:29:18No. All the pushing in the wall won't do anything.
00:29:24Try putting your hand on the more vulnerable place.
00:29:28That one there.
00:29:30And that one there.
00:29:33Push as hard as you can.
00:29:39Right. Nice.
00:29:43All right. Second scenario.
00:29:46What if somebody...
00:29:50...had you like this?
00:29:56What if somebody...
00:29:58...had you like this?
00:30:02It's just self-defense training. Don't let it get to you, Elena.
00:30:09Um...
00:30:10I'd go for the more vulnerable part.
00:30:14Stomping on the foot.
00:30:16Very nice. You're a very fast learner, aren't you?
00:30:22Okay. Third 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 gotta be quick.
00:30:39This...
00:30:40No.
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.
00:30:49Hey.
00:30:52Ace, are you okay?
00:30:53Did I hurt your leg?
00:30:54No.
00:30:55What was that sound?
00:31:00It didn't hurt my leg.
00:31:02It's fine. That was a good job.
00:31:04No. You're hurt.
00:31:05Let me...
00:31:06Fine. That was good work though.
00:31:07Seriously.
00:31:08Ace.
00:31:09The new security could be justified.
00:31:10Can you come check it out?
00:31:11Yeah, sure. Thanks, Josh.
00:31:13Good job today.
00:31:15Seriously.
00:31:16Seriously.
00:31:22That sound was weird.
00:31:28Ace 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, can I ask...
00:31:43Is 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 up on Ace and the new equipment.
00:32:22It was nice meeting you all.
00:32:25Maybe some things aren't what they seem.
00:32:27What 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...
00:32:49Honestly, man.
00:32:50I 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 at night.
00:32:56Might want to deal with that prosthetic soon, though.
00:32:59It's overdue for a replacement.
00:33:00If you keep stalling, you're gonna 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.
00:33:09I think that would be very irresponsible of me.
00:33:11Don't you think, Josh?
00:33:13Yeah.
00:33:14You'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?
00:33:19Almighty God, in your mercy, turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life and the sorrow of parting into the joy of heaven.
00:33:41Through our Savior, Jesus Christ, who died, rose again, and lives forevermore.
00:33:47Amen.
00:33:52My deepest condolences.
00:33:54May your father rest in peace.
00:33:56If your father knew that your reckless reforms would be tearing his company apart, he would never rest in peace.
00:34:02He was your brother.
00:34:03If you had even a shred of affection for him, you would never say something like that at his funeral.
00:34:08You know, Uncle Houston, I've always wondered.
00:34:10You've been far angrier about the healthcare 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.
00:34:21How dare you accuse me of murdering my brother at his funeral.
00:34:33Sorry for your loss.
00:34:44That's enough.
00:35:01It's enough.
00:35:09This 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.
00:35:31Don't go.
00:35:45Can you promise you won't leave me again?
00:35:50Promise.
00:35:51I'll never leave you again.
00:35:54Josh said that there's someone in your heart.
00:35:57Someone that you can't forget.
00:35:59Is that someone me?
00:36:01Tell me, Ace.
00:36:11Yes.
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.
00:36:24But you 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 into my life like nothing happened.
00:36:38No.
00:36:38No.
00:36:39I don't want to.
00:36:40No.
00:36:58I don't want to.
00:37:01No.
00:37:01Oh my god, I drank too much.
00:37:20Did we sleep together?
00:37:23Shower.
00:37:25Had you breakfast.
00:37:27Last night,
00:37:29we...
00:37:30You were drunk.
00:37:32Very drunk.
00:37:33And took care of you.
00:37:34And that was it.
00:37:35He's not gonna mention the kiss?
00:37:38Jerk.
00:37:40Well, thank you so much for taking such great care of me,
00:37:45Mr. Bodyguard.
00:37:54You've been far angrier about the healthcare reforms
00:37:56than my own father's murder!
00:37:58Haven't you dealt with that bitchy, Elena, 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.
00:38:15Some of the board are starting to support her reforms.
00:38:17If she keeps this up,
00:38:18I'll get pushed out of the company.
00:38:21What do you want me to do?
00:38:21The company's annual gala is this weekend.
00:38:26Elena will undoubtedly use it to rally more support from the board,
00:38:28which you're going to do.
00:38:29Is invite her to go as your date,
00:38:31and you're going to propose to her publicly.
00:38:33Tell her she'll get more support from the board
00:38:34if she's married with a husband.
00:38:36We can use the engagement to shift public focus
00:38:38away from your form.
00:38:40Killed two birds with one stone.
00:38:41I like that.
00:38:42Exactly.
00:38:42The media will be there,
00:38:43and she won't reject you in front of everyone.
00:38:45There's no way she risks tanking the company's stock prices again.
00:38:48Okay.
00:38:51Elena.
00:38:54I was hoping I would be able to escort you
00:38:56to the company dinner this weekend.
00:39:00I told you,
00:39:01Mr. Vegas would be chasing his person.
00:39:02He's bad.
00:39:03Her age of his persistence is kind of impressive.
00:39:13Chad, I...
00:39:14Elena, trust me.
00:39:16I can help you win over a couple more board members
00:39:18for the health care reform plan.
00:39:19Yeah.
00:39:24Yes, I would love to go to dinner.
00:39:26Great.
00:39:27See you later.
00:39:45How do I look?
00:39:46You look beautiful.
00:39:49You know, I don't know if you have to dress so formally.
00:39:53What, are you jealous?
00:39:55I just don't think that that guy deserves...
00:40:01all of this.
00:40:05Speak of the devil.
00:40:08Beautiful.
00:40:10Elena, we should get going.
00:40:10We're going to be late.
00:40:11Ace, we'll remember your place.
00:40:15Okay, there's a sport.
00:40:16You're the bodyguard.
00:40:19So make sure you keep a professional distance
00:40:21between you and your employer, yeah?
00:40:22Yeah.
00:40:22Elena'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.
00:40:46And what we're really curious about is how far you two have gotten.
00:40:51Given the 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, 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.
00:41:10Our company has faced challenges recently,
00:41:13but on this special night,
00:41:17our new CEO, Ms. Elena Pearson,
00:41:19would 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.
00:41:32Elena, I have loved you for so long.
00:41:48Will 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...
00:42:02Come on, let's go.
00:42:04We're leaving.
00:42:07What 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.
00:42:54You're...
00:42:57Elena!
00:43:04Elena, where are you?
00:43:08Elena, 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.
00:43:19Tell him you're busy.
00:43:27I'll be out in a minute.
00:43:42Are you sure you're okay?
00:43:47Yeah, I'm fine.
00:43:47Just...
00:43:48Just go.
00:43:49I'll be out in a minute.
00:43:53Are you sure you're okay?
00:43:55You'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.
00:44:15But you 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 I...
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...
00:44:30How much what?
00:44:31What are you saying?
00:44:32Elena!
00:44:32What 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?
00:44:50Elena, I have been pursuing you 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,
00:45:07it's clear that you like me.
00:45:08It'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!
00:45:17Don't think I don't see what's happening.
00:45:19Acting all on your high horse,
00:45:20but deep down,
00:45:21you're just a slut sleeping with your bodyguard.
00:45:30Bravo.
00:45:31Bravo, you two are the perfect pair of adulterers.
00:45:34Hey, this must be nice, huh?
00:45:35I've been with your boss,
00:45:36sleeping 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
00:45:42to 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 on!
00:45:55Come on!
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,
00:46:02and I'll fucking kill her.
00:46:03You understand?
00:46:04Do you understand?
00:46:05Come on!
00:46:15You 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.
00:46:26No, 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.
00:46:40You'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,
00:46:51and you know it.
00:46:51Moments ago, right here,
00:46:53you 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.
00:47:07Look.
00:47:09I'm here to guard you.
00:47:11I'm your bodyguard.
00:47:12I 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.
00:47:34Can'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?
00:47:40God, 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.
00:47:56Just like we did her father.
00:47:57You think you can fix everything
00:48:11with 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,
00:48:18making 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.
00:48:24Oliver, what are you...
00:48:38what 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.
00:49:12Whether 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.
00:49:29Don't think you've won me over.
00:49:31I haven't forgiven you yet.
00:49:32Don'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,
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?
00:50:00together.
00:50:01Oh, you don't understand.
00:50:02Every time I take a step forward,
00:50:04Ace takes two steps back.
00:50:06It's not that simple.
00:50:08Well, then maybe you should
00:50:09take the lead.
00:50:12Valentine's Day is right around the corner.
00:50:15Why not use the occasion to
00:50:16clear the air
00:50:17and finally talk it through?
00:50:21Hmm?
00:50:23Maybe.
00:50:23Maybe.
00:50:30Maybe 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 will be delivered tonight.
00:50:51Thank you so much.
00:50:51Thank you for shopping.
00:50:52That isn't Spiracin'.
00:51:30Josh.
00:51:44Josh!
00:51:45The lead has been taken.
00:51:46Activate the tracking system.
00:51:47Get the cops involved.
00:51:49They'll go and answer them.
00:51:49Who are you?
00:52:02Look at this.
00:52:03It's about the company's
00:52:03health care reforms
00:52:04and I promised you
00:52:05I'm proposing a new plan.
00:52:07It's set to pass on Monday
00:52:08so 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?
00:52:15Come on.
00:52:15My 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.
00:52:31Now sign the damn thing
00:52:33or I'll put a hole in your head.
00:52:36Okay.
00:52:37I'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
00:52:47they'll kill me.
00:52:48Think, Elena.
00:52:49Think.
00:52:49Hurry up.
00:52:51Don't try anything stupid
00:52:52or break your legs
00:52:54before you can escape.
00:52:56You good?
00:53:06No.
00:53:07I don't want to die.
00:53:08Please, Ace, save me.
00:53:11Now that this job is completed
00:53:14I don't have to worry about money ever again.
00:53:18Good job.
00:53:28Ace!
00:53:29Ace!
00:53:34Stop it.
00:53:36Drop your weapon
00:53:36or I'll blow your brains out.
00:53:38Good.
00:53:39Ace, don't do it.
00:53:40Drop your weapon.
00:53:48Good job.
00:53:48Close your eyes
00:53:49and walk toward me.
00:53:51Good.
00:53:51Go ahead.
00:53:51No.
00:54:02Oh!
00:54:04No.
00:54:05No.
00:54:06Oh!
00:54:07Oh!
00:54:08Oh!
00:54:09No!
00:54:10No!
00:54:11No!
00:54:14Are you crazy?
00:54:16He had a gun pointed at your head
00:54:17and you still went after it.
00:54:19I thought I lost you.
00:54:20It's going to be okay.
00:54:24I knew exactly what he was doing
00:54:25when he asked me to close my eyes.
00:54:27It's over.
00:54:36Who sent you?
00:54:37Fuck!
00:54:40Okay, just get me a medic.
00:54:41I don't want to die.
00:54:42You're going to get some help
00:54:43as soon as you give me
00:54:43some 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!
00:54:56You're going to kill Carter Pearson
00:55:02and the five million dollars
00:55:04is yours.
00:55:08Why would he murder his own brother?
00:55:10My father's been nothing but content.
00:55:11It comes around the way.
00:55:19Everything's fine.
00:55:20I don't understand.
00:55:22Houston was the company's
00:55:23second 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
00:55:35for the rest of my life.
00:55:37Some people just want more.
00:55:38And it's never enough.
00:55:40They're just greedy
00:55:40and they're monsters
00:55:41and you never have to think
00:55:42about them again, okay?
00:55:43It's over.
00:55:45Over.
00:55:49I'm going to go home.
00:55:51Hey, let's go.
00:56:02He's 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
00:56:10during 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
00:56:31all 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
00:56:38around your arm so hard
00:56:39you can't feel it.
00:56:46Hey, 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
00:56:57the question.
00:56:58Today you could have called
00:56:59for 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.
00:57:28Dude, you need to get your prosthetic leg
00:57:29checked ASAP.
00:57:30I talked to Dr. Dean, and he said
00:57:31if you don't get treated soon,
00:57:33your leg may forever lose sensation.
00:57:34Today we're here to talk about
00:57:41my health care reform strategy.
00:57:43You can't even handle
00:57:45your personal life.
00:57:46The news came out,
00:57:47and this company's stock prices
00:57:48fell another five points.
00:57:50And yet you still think
00:57:52you can push through reforms.
00:57:53I'm the first to object.
00:57:55Elena, do you know how
00:57:56the other health care companies
00:57:58are mocking us?
00:57:59They're saying that we're
00:57:59spineless idiots
00:58:00because we let a woman
00:58:01become the CEO.
00:58:02Oh, I'm the first to object.
00:58:04Uncle Houston,
00:58:06if my scandals are causing
00:58:08such problems for the company,
00:58:09how do you plan to account
00:58:11for the damages
00:58:12that your actions have caused?
00:58:14Like hiring someone
00:58:16to kill my father.
00:58:20Like hiring someone
00:58:21to kill my father.
00:58:26That's slander.
00:58:27Your father was killed
00:58:28by an angry citizen
00:58:29who was dissatisfied
00:58:30with the current
00:58:31health care system.
00:58:32What does that have to do
00:58:33with me?
00:58:34Kill that idiot
00:58:38Carter Pearson
00:58:38and the five million dollars
00:58:40is yours.
00:58:44I testify that Houston Pearson
00:58:46paid me to kill
00:58:47Carter Pearson
00:58:47and then he paid me
00:58:49to try to kill
00:58:50Elena Pearson.
00:58:50I hereby declare
00:58:57that Houston Pearson
00:58:59is immediately stripped
00:59:00of all his duties
00:59:01within this group.
00:59:02You murdered my father
00:59:04and tried to kill me.
00:59:05You need to pay
00:59:06for your crimes.
00:59:08You need to pay
00:59:08for your crimes.
00:59:09Who do you think you are?
00:59:10Do you think you can
00:59:11kick me out of Pearson group?
00:59:13I gave everything
00:59:14to this company.
00:59:15Why should you,
00:59:17the daughter of that idiot
00:59:18Carter Pearson,
00:59:19inherit this company?
00:59:20What is wrong
00:59:21with increasing
00:59:21the claim denial rate?
00:59:23This company's profits
00:59:24doubled because
00:59:25I developed AI technology
00:59:27that increased
00:59:27our claim denial rate
00:59:28to 40%,
00:59:29the highest in the industry.
00:59:31And that old fool
00:59:33Carter,
00:59:33he dared to yell
00:59:34cut me over this.
00:59:35He deserved to die.
00:59:37Every accomplishment
00:59:38you've made
00:59:39has been riding off
00:59:40to the coattails
00:59:41of struggling people
00:59:42and my father's life.
00:59:43And you show
00:59:44no remorse for them.
00:59:46You're a monster.
00:59:48Double.
00:59:52Raise your hands.
00:59:56Houston Pearson,
00:59:57your honor of rest
00:59:57for first degree murder.
01:00:04Now, does anyone else
01:00:24have anything to say?
01:00:28Great.
01:00:29All those in favor
01:00:31of implementing
01:00:31my healthcare reform strategy,
01:00:33raise your hand.
01:00:51Very well.
01:00:52It seems the majority
01:00:53has voted.
01:00:54Yes.
01:00:55I declare that
01:00:56the healthcare reform plan
01:00:57with the slogan
01:00:58deliver, declare,
01:01:00and disclose
01:01:00has officially passed
01:01:03and will be implemented
01:01:04immediately.
01:01:20Cheers.
01:01:22Congratulations
01:01:23on the huge success
01:01:25of the healthcare reform.
01:01:26Great thing, guys.
01:01:27Congrats, you two.
01:01:31Looks like you guys
01:01:32are officially back together.
01:01:33Should I be planning
01:01:34your reunion party?
01:01:35That's enough.
01:01:36Oh, Miss Pearson,
01:01:38if your father could see you now,
01:01:40he'd be so proud.
01:01:44Thank you so much, guys.
01:01:46If it hadn't been for you,
01:01:48I don't think my healthcare
01:01:49reform plan would have passed.
01:01:51Especially you, Ace.
01:01:52I don't know
01:01:55what I would have done
01:01:55without you.
01:01:58Well, I'll, um,
01:02:00always be a rock.
01:02:03Cheers!
01:02:05Heck yeah.
01:02:16Hey.
01:02:17Hey.
01:02:17Are you looking for me?
01:02:21Josh is out there
01:02:21drinking like a wild animal
01:02:22and
01:02:23is trying to make
01:02:25everyone join her.
01:02:26Followers keep me
01:02:27an eye on them.
01:02:28I don't have any time
01:02:29to waste on that stuff.
01:02:32I guess I have to
01:02:32reserve all my energy
01:02:35for you.
01:02:36Go ahead.
01:02:38Mr. Atkins,
01:02:40your duties as a bodyguard
01:02:41are officially over.
01:02:44What's next on your agenda?
01:02:45I have a few ideas.
01:02:46What's wrong?
01:03:16What's wrong?
01:03:21Nothing.
01:03:22Just, um...
01:03:25I don't know
01:03:27if we're in the right
01:03:27place or
01:03:29if it's the right time.
01:03:30What?
01:03:32After everything
01:03:33we've been through, Ace,
01:03:34I thought we were past this.
01:03:36I know, but I, uh...
01:03:37But what?
01:03:41I just, uh...
01:03:42I don't think
01:03:43we should rush into this.
01:03:44I think we should
01:03:44think this through, okay?
01:03:45You're a jerk.
01:03:55I'm an asshole.
01:03:56Why does he keep
01:03:57pushing me away?
01:03:57Ace?
01:04:09Ace, Ace!
01:04:10It's okay.
01:04:12Ace!
01:04:12It's okay.
01:04:13It's okay.
01:04:14Ace!
01:04:15It's okay.
01:04:15It's okay.
01:04:15It's dead.
01:04:34It's okay.
01:04:37Oh my god, Miss Pearson! I'm going to go on an ambulance!
01:04:47Is he going to be okay, Doctor?
01:04:58Don't tell me about...
01:05:01...my prosthetic lighting.
01:05:04Alright. I respect your wishes.
01:05:07Fortunately, 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.
01:05:19By the way, there's a police officer waiting for you in the reception room.
01:05:23Okay, 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?
01:05:33According to our investigation, Chad Vega, one of your company's executives, has been involved in a long-term illegal financial crimes with Houston.
01:05:45The killer was hired by him.
01:05:47What? Chad was in cahoots with Houston?
01:05:50Who's with Houston?
01:05:51Ten minutes ago, we apprehended Chad at his residence.
01:05:54You can rest assured that, with Houston's testimony, all related individuals have been arrested.
01:05:59You're safe.
01:06:01Considering your bodyguard was injured, the police are going to offer you protection until the trial is over.
01:06:07You can rest.
01:06:08I'm gonna pick up Ace's clothes and I'll be back tomorrow morning.
01:06:14Ace?
01:06:25Dear Elena, the bodyguard mission is complete and you're no longer in danger, so it's time for me to leave.
01:06:30I just wanted to say goodbye and I wish you all the best. Ace.
01:06:36What the hell? You're leaving me again?
01:06:40I won't let you leave without an explanation.
01:07:00It's her. The 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?
01:07:21This involves Ace's privacy and I'm not at liberty to disclose that information.
01:07:25But Alina, I assure you Ace did not betray you.
01:07:28Then why? Why 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.
01:07:43He's just too afraid to tell you.
01:07:52Alina, what are you doing there?
01:07:54Josh, Ace isn't at the hospital and he just left me a note. Do you know where he is?
01:07:57What?
01:07:59Doesn't he know how important it is to recover properly after his surgery for his new prosthetic leg?
01:08:06What do you mean prosthetic leg?
01:08:09Oh man, I was supposed to say that.
01:08:12Josh, what do you mean prosthetic?
01:08:14Three years ago, Ace's leg was blown off during combat. Your father told him that a disabled person would only burden you. So he pretended to cheat on you and broke up with you.
01:08:27Later, after you got his prosthetic leg, he still felt like a disabled person. He thought a great girl like you deserved better. So he avoided you at critical moments.
01:08:37Go check out the rehabilitation center. He's getting his new prosthetic leg fixed right now. We'll find him later.
01:08:47Ace, you jerk. How could you keep something so important for me? This time I won't let you go. I won't let you walk away again.
01:08:54Fortunately, you came in time. The old prosthetic didn't do too much damage to the nerves. With treatment, you should recover naturally. This one is nearly made for you. Troy?
01:09:04Thanks.
01:09:34This is the secret you've been keeping for me? This is why you've been pushing me away?
01:09:43What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. You 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. I need you to leave right now.
01:09:57Why wouldn't you just tell me? Do you really think that little of me? That I'm just a shallow, unsupportive partner?
01:10:05How was I supposed to tell you this, Elena? I mean, why would a guy like me be able to be with a perfect woman like you? Huh?
01:10:15I mean, I can't even do half the things I was able to three years ago. I mean, you don't know how this feels, okay? I mean, just fucking look at me, Elena! I can't even stand up straight!
01:10:22But I love you!
01:10:25Ace, can't you see? No matter how you feel about yourself, I have always loved you, always!
01:10:37Elena, come on, why?
01:10:39Just stop pushing me away!
01:10:42Ace Adkins, you listen to me right now.
01:10:44You have left me. So many times. You can't keep running from me. I am here to stay. Got it?
01:10:57Ace Adkins, you listen to me.
01:11:15Nothing feels uncomfortable? Mom, don't try and be tough.
01:11:19No, this one's more comfortable than the last one, actually.
01:11:23You know, I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to do this. I'm disabled, and I might become a burden to you when we're older. Have you thought about that?
01:11:32If you ever say something so pessimistic again, I will twist your ear off. I love Ace Adkins. The person, not the leg. So what if you're missing a leg? I would love you all the same. Would you leave me if I was missing a leg?
01:11:48No. No. Of course not. I will always be by your side.
01:11:56Then let me do the same. I am choosing you, okay?
01:12:02Got it.
01:12:04Got it.
01:12:17Ms. Pearson, your compensation clause for critical illness has saved my daughter's life. Thank you.
01:12:24Ms. Pearson, your health care reform plan has been a great success, making you the most popular CEO in the US. What made you insist on health care reform despite everyone's doubts?
01:12:35I was able to overcome many obstacles and achieve reform success, partly due to great planning, but also because of my fiancé, Ace Adkins. His love helped me overcome all difficulties.
01:12:54Hoje-and-lustikit friends have maladepsin.
01:12:59Sometimes the person has changed and you stay ص,近似 zu going and again.
01:13:04What made you succeed at all your business as well as that is?
01:13:09That's the way you should engage in danger because of my business as well.
01:13:16Trust your boss.
01:13:18Such good luck.
