Transcript

Welcome home, stop, wait, calm down, calm down, it's just me, it's just me, there's no one else here, you can settle down, you're safe. Speaking and entering, you really think, never mind, no as a matter of fact I was asked to be here, I was assigned, by your father, who else, well, who did you think it was, you don't have to say, but don't make anything up, please, look, I've been doing this job for a while, personal security, sensing threats, I know when someone's conning me, okay, so you don't have to tell me who you thought I was, but don't insult me by lying, no, I wasn't even supposed to be the one doing this tonight, your father sends his condolences by the way, he's unfortunately going to have to miss out on your dinner plans and reschedule, he had a last minute committee meeting to attend I believe, I don't know, it's really not my business, no, I'm sorry, I won't be leaving, your father asked me to be here, he's my employer, I'm going to do my job, well, if I had to guess, I'd say it's something to do with your ex, now, just settle down a minute, there's no reason to get so heated, I understand that you confided in him, but you need to hear the full story, your dad's known about the problems with your ex-boyfriend since long before you told him, he's been trying to get back with you for how long? You think your father's blind? This was no surprise to him, as a matter of fact, he's had me keeping an eye on things for quite some time now, he has, in fact, I had a little chat with your ex just the other day, oh, who knows, baseball, movies, the need to stay the hell away from you, it was okay, he was understanding, although his feelings were a little bit hurt, I made it very clear what's going to happen if he comes within 100 yards of you ever again, he may still need an example, let's be real here, the restraining order you got, it's not going to do anything, has it stopped him from threatening you?

Has it stopped him from following you around? He still stalks you, you need protection, yes, like I said, I've been keeping an eye on things, even though I haven't been on your personal detail, Tyler's working alongside me, you know Tyler, yes, Tyler Gray, because we're your father's most trusted men, he knows we can get the job done, he knows we can keep you safe, and if you ask me, I don't think you should be upset at your father, he didn't break your trust, he told us about your ex-boyfriend before you even told him, how can he keep secret something you hadn't even told him yet, this is completely irrational, and I think you know that, look, you're his only child, he loves you, he cares about you very deeply, and he knows that you have a problem right now, a problem that he can help with, a problem that I can help with, so again, he asked me to keep an eye on things some time ago, as a matter of fact, and intervene if necessary, nothing that won't heal, we had to talk, as I said, it wasn't entirely pleasant for him, although I can say it was rather satisfying for me, I just don't like him, you know, I just don't like him, the men in black, I like that, I like that, no, we're not following you around, and as you know, I'm not some kind of government agent, at least not anymore, I understand, I understand that you don't want us shadowing you, I understand that you don't want us interfering with your personal life, your movements, your work, your friends, I get that, but the fact is that you need protection right now, the fact is that all is not well, it's not safe for you right now, and you need to trust me, you need to trust myself, Tyler, your father, all of us, because all we want is to see you safe, all we want is to see you well, all right, well, I'm certainly glad you see the need for protection, but what's your problem with me doing it, is it a question of competency, you've known me for how long, right, years, and you know all my backstory, you know that I trained in the army, you know about my work in special forces, you know about my time down range, all of this was well researched by your father and his employees, well researched before he brought me on board, and I happen to know that you had access to all that documentation, all those files, because your father respects you enough that he didn't want to bring anyone on board that you weren't comfortable with either, so you can't possibly think that I don't have the skill set necessary to keep you safe, fine, I would love to know why, okay, I don't really understand what you're saying here, what do you mean I used to be so nice to you, I feel like I still am, rude, no, I really disagree with you, I don't think I'm cold, I don't think I'm distant, all of this is beside the point anyway, whether I'm nice, whether I'm rude, whether I'm cold, distant, whatever, the issue here isn't feelings, the issue is your security, it's keeping you safe, why does any of that matter? No, no, I don't want to talk about that, it's irrelevant, no, you do not need to call your father, do you really want to know?

Look, I'm a professional, I don't want to cross any boundaries here, I'm gonna be very careful with what I say, but I would like you to please keep this just between the two of us, you said you noticed that I got a bit more distant when you started dating your ex, right, and I told you that I didn't like him, still don't, and there are more than one reason for that, first and foremost, he's just not a great guy, I picked up on that quicker than you did, sorry, I knew it from the first time you brought him around, it wasn't really my place to do anything, would you have listened anyway? Hmm, I knew he was a dirtbag, I didn't know the full extent of it, and there was nothing to act on at that point, the other issue though, is the other issue was jealousy, as I said, we've known each other for years, and over the.
