00:00:00Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist?
00:00:09Who do they think are going to be wearing these Haute Couture designer pieces today?
00:00:20And it is Mr. Congressman Marcus Blakeson.
00:00:34He's so handsome.
00:00:38Congressman Marcus is California's youngest and most promising political star.
00:00:44OMG, imagine dating someone that hot.
00:00:48His wife is a religious star.
00:00:52I've been told he adores his wife so much, he never brings her to any public events to protect her from the media.
00:01:00Has anyone ever actually seen his wife?
00:01:17Okay.
00:01:45We're married, but I'm just a pawn in his quest for power.
00:01:49In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:00In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:30I can hear.
00:02:41How can I...
00:02:43How can I hear?
00:02:45No security for a politician's wife.
00:02:50Feeling you was almost too easy.
00:02:53I'm kidnapped?
00:02:54Call your husband.
00:02:56Now!
00:02:59That's right.
00:03:00You're deaf.
00:03:02Don't laugh.
00:03:05Go on.
00:03:13Marcus?
00:03:14Marcus, please pick up the phone.
00:03:17Of course.
00:03:18Of course.
00:03:19Absolutely.
00:03:30Hello?
00:03:32Hello?
00:03:33I have your wife.
00:03:35You're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her.
00:03:41Hello?
00:03:42I have your wife.
00:03:43And if you don't do exactly what I say...
00:03:46I'm gonna kill her.
00:03:48I don't have time for these games.
00:03:50Congressman Marcus, I truly cannot believe that you don't care about your wife's life.
00:03:55And I'm telling you, I get three or four of these scams a week, so why don't you go kick rocks?
00:03:59I'll tell you one more time.
00:04:01She's my hostage.
00:04:03Well then call me when she's a corpse.
00:04:06Woo!
00:04:07That man is fucking cruel, you know that?
00:04:11Heartless politician.
00:04:13You know, if he doesn't care about whether or not you die, I guess it's my choice.
00:04:19And believe me, you're beautiful.
00:04:22It's a shame you're not gonna know what you're dying for.
00:04:27Marcus, you motherfucker!
00:04:38Tom?
00:04:41Tom, I keep getting scam calls to my phone.
00:04:43I need you to check out the origin of the number.
00:04:45I've already checked this number a hundred times.
00:04:47I understand, but we need to make sure that my wife is safe.
00:04:49Copy that.
00:04:50Also, if you could just let Mr. Versace know I'll be right with him.
00:05:09What are you doing?
00:05:18No.
00:05:19Alcohol.
00:05:23Are you kidding me?
00:05:24Give me that.
00:05:33What is with the attitude?
00:05:41Hello?
00:05:43Mr. Klirka, the call had an anti-surveillance measure and it was too brief to trace.
00:05:47They also used a voice changer, so voice analyst is out.
00:05:52These people have no idea who they're dealing with.
00:05:55They really think that my wife is my weakness.
00:05:58Ridiculous.
00:05:59I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you wanted me dead.
00:06:05Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel.
00:06:09And absolutely under no circumstances should she find out.
00:06:12Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work.
00:06:14Understood?
00:06:22I've rigged this phone against tracking.
00:06:25Your husband can't trace it.
00:06:27Marcus marrying you three years ago from my sister was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:06:32Now that I have my hearing back, I'm going to make sure everything gets back on track.
00:06:46Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding.
00:06:48Take the dress off.
00:06:50Really?
00:06:52This is what you want, to be the wife of a politician?
00:06:56It's just like the dress. It's not even yours.
00:06:58Do I have a choice?
00:07:00Let's get things straight.
00:07:01I need to marry Rochester in order to secure my run for the house.
00:07:04Your sister runs off, so now you get to be the replacement.
00:07:12So, I'm really just a replacement to you?
00:07:22Yeah, you are.
00:07:26Okay, let's establish a couple ground rules.
00:07:29One, I'm technically going to be married to Claire, so we have to conceal your identity.
00:07:34Two, you're not making any public appearances.
00:07:37And three, during our marriage, there are no children whatsoever.
00:07:42Okay?
00:07:44Are you listening?
00:07:45Why are you doing this to me?
00:07:50Because people like us are not afforded the choice.
00:08:03Ariel.
00:08:05Ariel, are you okay?
00:08:08Ariel?
00:08:21Has Ariel recovered any of her hearing since that sudden deafness at the wedding?
00:08:27It's not so bad being deaf, Mrs. Flick.
00:08:29It spares Ariel from hearing anything that might damage Marcus' campaign for governor.
00:08:34Exactly.
00:08:35And when Marcus becomes governor, we might consider cosmetic surgery for Ariel.
00:08:41Make her look more like her sister.
00:08:43I'm sure the public will sympathize with Marcus, that he has not abandoned his disabled wife.
00:08:49You're so wise, Mr. Flick.
00:08:50That's a brilliant strategy.
00:08:53You all seem more concerned about politics than the well-being of my wife.
00:08:57You really think it's appropriate gloating over her condition?
00:09:00I was just considering your career.
00:09:02While we're on the topic, as long as I'm married to Ariel, we're not going to be doing any reconstructive surgery to make her look like her sister.
00:09:09I'm not going to allow it.
00:09:11Why is he defending me now?
00:09:13On that note, we're going to be taking our leave.
00:09:29Stop!
00:09:34I'm visiting wildfire victims tomorrow, and I need your help picking an outfit.
00:09:41Remember, nothing too high profile.
00:09:54Not bad.
00:09:59Marcus.
00:10:04It's a good thing you couldn't hear what my parents said about you.
00:10:11I want to thank you all for making the time to be here today. I think that's a big deal.
00:10:18I think it's important to just acknowledge that, in spite of recent events, it's...
00:10:31Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:10:41Our state goes through a lot of disasters. Mudslides, we deal with droughts, we deal with wildfires.
00:10:47In my understanding, over the last 40 years, a lot of things have built up to this moment.
00:10:53A lot of things that are perceived to bring us to...
00:11:02Just one moment, guys.
00:11:05Who is this?
00:11:06Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:11:11I don't think you've done your homework.
00:11:13My wife's name is Claire.
00:11:15No, Claire's the older sister.
00:11:17When she ran away three years ago, you married Ariel to save your political career.
00:11:21What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:11:34What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:11:38Swapping wives between two sisters?
00:11:40I didn't know my wife's name was Ariel.
00:11:44Tell me who the hell this is.
00:11:45It doesn't matter who I am. Divorce your wife, and...
00:11:48Your secrets disappear with me.
00:11:49I mean, after all, she's just a substitute, and you hate her, so it shouldn't really be a problem.
00:11:54There's no chance I'm divorcing Ariel. There's nothing to think about it.
00:11:59I'll give you a month, or...
00:12:00I'll kill her.
00:12:05Kill her?
00:12:08It must be because Marcus is running for governor, so now he doesn't want to divorce me.
00:12:14Now I need a new plan.
00:12:28Mr. Flick, you're about to be on camera, and the press will definitely make a big deal of that wound.
00:12:34Tom, I want you to get me the best computer engineers in the world.
00:12:37We're going to nail the bastards threatening Ariel.
00:12:40Copy that, sir.
00:12:41Also, I need you to make it a top priority that we find a fashion consultant,
00:12:46and also a fashion editor. I want someone who understands political messaging.
00:12:55Hi, Johnny.
00:13:05There are some things that can only be appreciated once they're gone, you know?
00:13:10I mean, I've lived the past three years of my life in a silent hell, and now...
00:13:14Life has given me a second chance to hear again.
00:13:19This time...
00:13:22I'm going to live for myself.
00:13:26This time...
00:13:29I'm going to live for myself.
00:13:32Johnny, you're my guardian angel, you know that, right?
00:13:36I mean, I know that when Mom married into the Rochester family, they wouldn't accept you because of your...
00:13:43differences, but I need you to know that I would never give up on you.
00:13:50Ever.
00:13:53Okay?
00:14:01Okay.
00:14:24Dr. Park, is it possible to regain hearing in a case like my wife's?
00:14:28Is it treatable with surgery?
00:14:30Her sudden deafness was triggered by a severe shock.
00:14:33We can attempt surgery, but I must be honest, the chances of success are very slim.
00:14:40If it works, it would be absolutely close to a miracle.
00:14:44It's just something that doesn't happen very often. I'm so sorry.
00:14:49I know it's not the news you wanted to hear.
00:14:54We're doing everything we can, okay?
00:14:56Okay.
00:14:58There we go.
00:15:00Okay.
00:15:05Learn to please your husband and have a baby ASAP.
00:15:31Okay.
00:15:44Tom, the manager sent me a few photos. I need you to trace them.
00:15:48Yes, sir. Keep them on the line for more than five minutes for better tracking.
00:16:01Did you see that?
00:16:03It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:16:06She's cheating on you.
00:16:08My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:16:12It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:16:15She's cheating on you.
00:16:17My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:16:19Why? You don't think she's attractive enough?
00:16:22No, I think she's quite attractive, actually. I just know her.
00:16:27I just know her. And she wouldn't betray her promises.
00:16:31You know, those photos you sent, the faces are unrecognizable.
00:16:35How are you so confident that they're my wife?
00:16:37Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife so well?
00:16:40There was a birthmark on her chest.
00:16:42Surely you're familiar with it.
00:16:43How do you know about the birthmark?
00:16:45Who are you?
00:16:46It doesn't matter who I am.
00:16:47Here are my demands. Divorce your wife or this provocative photo goes public.
00:16:51I'll claim that the perfect congressman can't satisfy his wife.
00:16:55Leaving her to find happiness elsewhere.
00:16:58What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:05What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:08Damn, I hadn't thought of that.
00:17:10I hate her. I can't stand seeing her live such a privileged life.
00:17:14Well, I'm not going to indulge your twisted desires.
00:17:17She's my wife and I'm going to protect her.
00:17:19Don't act like you really love her.
00:17:21You're just worried that a divorce would hurt your political image.
00:17:25You think you know me so well.
00:17:27If you love someone, you don't trap them in a political sham marriage, you hypocrite.
00:17:32Hello? Hello?
00:17:36This man is too complicated to understand.
00:17:44No, sir. We've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software.
00:17:47You know, it's only been traced in a general area.
00:17:51Okay, go ahead.
00:17:52Your phone's location is within a five-mile radius, which includes your house, sir.
00:18:03Ariel. She's in danger.
00:18:22Sigh.
00:18:53You mad at me?
00:18:57Ariel.
00:18:58Don't!
00:19:00Okay. I won't touch you.
00:19:02Sigh.
00:19:20We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image-making
00:19:25and understands how each garment can tell a compelling story.
00:19:33Mom, what are you doing? That's my work.
00:19:36Instead of focusing on this garbage, why don't you learn how to dress nicely
00:19:40so you can catch a good man like your sister did?
00:19:43Mom, clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men. I can't believe you just said that.
00:19:48Ariel, you're going to stop chasing these fanciful dreams.
00:19:52Do you remember where you came from?
00:19:54Without my marriage into the Rochester family, you wouldn't be here.
00:19:58Do you remember where you came from?
00:20:00Without my marriage into the Rochester family, you wouldn't even have the money
00:20:04to attend a private school and focus on this nonsense.
00:20:07If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me.
00:20:11Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband, just like I did.
00:20:29Well, the worst I could say is no.
00:20:40As long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a d-
00:20:44I'm ready to work for anyone.
00:20:47I can't let anybody, especially him, find out I can hear again.
00:20:51I have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly.
00:20:55Maybe using text-to-speech is the best.
00:21:10My name is Ariel Anderson.
00:21:12I graduated from the School of Visual Art with a degree in fashion design.
00:21:15I lost my hearing due to an accident three years ago.
00:21:17Unfortunately, a hearing aid won't really help.
00:21:20Therefore, I'd appreciate it if you could use pen and paper for communication.
00:21:23I assure you I can keep up.
00:21:25I'm concerned that our hearing might affect your performance.
00:21:28Recruiting a disabled woman will make our campaign look more diverse and socially responsible.
00:21:34The board has to think better of us.
00:21:36I hear both of your concerns, however.
00:21:38But the reality is we only need a wardrobe consultant that's qualified.
00:21:44The congressman needs to attend an unscheduled event.
00:21:47Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:21:54Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:22:09Is she modifying it just by eye?
00:22:24Congressman Flick, may I ask you to try it on?
00:22:41Five feet, nine inches tall, 165 pounds.
00:22:44Chest, 33.6 inches.
00:22:46Waist, 32.9 inches.
00:22:48Hips, 35.7 inches.
00:22:51These are the congressman's measurements and I'm confident that they're accurate.
00:22:54That's entirely correct.
00:22:57True.
00:22:59But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:07But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:11Sorry, Congressman. I can't hear.
00:23:14I can't hear.
00:23:18I want you to take a look at these photos.
00:23:20Tell us five things that you see wrong with them.
00:23:32The tie is too flashy, the pants are too short, and overall the photo screams one word.
00:23:36Arrogance.
00:23:39She is incredible.
00:23:42She's the one?
00:23:49Welcome.
00:24:00I was supposed to be divorcing him, but now I guess I'm working with him.
00:24:06Hi, I'm Daniel Campbell.
00:24:10It's good to meet you.
00:24:12I'm so happy to have you on the team.
00:24:14You're great.
00:24:16Would you like to get a coffee?
00:24:19Sure.
00:24:20Yeah?
00:24:21Yeah.
00:24:31Who is that guy?
00:24:32Can we fire him?
00:24:33Who is that guy?
00:24:34Can we fire that guy?
00:24:35What?
00:24:36No, that's inappropriate. We can't fire people for no good reason.
00:24:39That'll go against our team's reputation.
00:24:42Also, not to mention the upcoming campaign.
00:24:44Well, then keep a close eye on him, okay?
00:24:46That's not part of my job.
00:24:51So, um, what happened here?
00:24:55Sorry.
00:25:00Accident.
00:25:04I don't know.
00:25:06Why don't you get cochlear implants?
00:25:09Cochlear implants for your ear?
00:25:11Too robotic?
00:25:15Interesting.
00:25:16The silence helps me work.
00:25:24Cool.
00:25:33Hey, Warwick Campbell.
00:25:34It's my lunch break, Mr. Flick.
00:25:36Right.
00:25:38Well, then.
00:25:39I think my new wardrobe consultant needs to check on her duties.
00:26:04Ring.
00:26:11Didn't you insist that we hide the fact that we're married?
00:26:13So why would I bother wearing a ring?
00:26:17Someone hitting on you.
00:26:22Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm a human too.
00:26:24I have a life.
00:26:30Oh my god.
00:26:31Oh my god.
00:26:32Oh my god, it's you in the photo.
00:26:35Fucking asshole.
00:26:37Ariel, I'm sorry.
00:26:40I'm sorry!
00:26:51Ariel.
00:26:53I'm sorry.
00:26:56No.
00:26:57Ariel.
00:27:02Don't forget.
00:27:03I'm still paying your brother's medical bills.
00:27:11Marcus, I cannot believe you'd threaten me with my own brother.
00:27:15What happened to you?
00:27:17What happened to us?
00:27:24The more successful he becomes,
00:27:26the more he feels like a stranger.
00:27:28He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16.
00:27:44Don't worry.
00:27:45Just hold on tight, and I'll always protect you.
00:27:48Marcus.
00:27:50How come you're always free to visit Johnny with me?
00:27:54Um.
00:27:55Um.
00:27:57Well, your brother's my brother.
00:28:00When I get older, I'm going to protect you, okay?
00:28:05I promise.
00:28:26Stay.
00:28:31Congressman Flake.
00:28:34Forgive me for asking,
00:28:35but why have I never been introduced to your wife?
00:28:38Your competitors bring their spouses to events like this,
00:28:41and they do quite well for themselves.
00:28:43Right.
00:28:44But I don't consider my wife to be an accessory.
00:28:46She's her own person.
00:28:48And, uh, I don't want her to feel like a stranger.
00:28:51I don't consider my wife to be an accessory.
00:28:53She's her own person.
00:28:55And, uh, it'll need her chain to me at all times.
00:28:58You are the perfect husband.
00:29:01Pleasure.
00:29:13You again.
00:29:14Don't know how to quit, huh?
00:29:15Have you made up your mind?
00:29:17Are you divorcing your wife or not?
00:29:18Threats, huh?
00:29:19Go ahead.
00:29:20She's gonna want to regret this.
00:29:21I don't understand you.
00:29:23You say you love your wife,
00:29:24and you want her to live a life that she chooses.
00:29:26And then you turn around and you treat her like a prop.
00:29:28You make me sick.
00:29:30How did you hear about this?
00:29:33Were you at the gala?
00:29:34Have you ever asked her what kind of life she would like to live?
00:29:37Have you even asked her if she loves you?
00:29:39I swear to God, if you do anything to Ariel, I will kill you.
00:29:42I will make you regret it.
00:29:46Ariel!
00:29:51Ariel!
00:29:56Can you hear me?
00:29:57Have you recovered your hearing?
00:29:58Stop!
00:29:59Why did you turn around when I just called your name?
00:30:05Have you been on the phone?
00:30:08Oh, my God.
00:30:11Gas leak!
00:30:12Oh, my God!
00:30:21On the porch,
00:30:23she seemed to be on the phone.
00:30:25Was it her all along?
00:30:27Water.
00:30:28Water.
00:30:40Why?
00:30:41Why?
00:31:00It's not her.
00:31:11Explain.
00:31:20Just friends.
00:31:21Friends?
00:31:24I'm going to bed.
00:31:26Here we go.
00:31:30I'm jealous.
00:31:31Okay? I'm sorry. I'm jealous.
00:31:33I'm jealous of what you and
00:31:35Daniel have.
00:32:05What?
00:32:12Sleep.
00:32:16Yeah, but you're my wife.
00:32:27Sometimes I forget that you can't hear me.
00:32:31It's crazy that we've been married for three years
00:32:34and I feel like you hate me more and more.
00:32:39You hate me for being in this marriage, but
00:32:42if you're not with me, how can I protect you?
00:32:45I don't want you to be the perfect wife. You don't need to be
00:32:48the perfect daughter-in-law.
00:32:51I just want you to do what you love.
00:32:54I'm the one stuck in this family.
00:32:58And that's enough.
00:33:04Marcus, I can't see you clearly.
00:33:07Sometimes you're cold and cruel, but other times
00:33:11you sound like you love me.
00:33:14Which one is the real you?
00:33:25Sorry I'm late, everybody.
00:33:26When's dinner going to be ready?
00:33:29Enough with the carbs, Marcus.
00:33:31Your body shape reflects the family you come from.
00:33:34You don't want to end up obese like one of those poor people, do you?
00:33:56There, you're home.
00:34:02You made PB&J, my favorite.
00:34:56You're welcome.
00:35:05Help with clothes?
00:35:16I really gotta keep a close eye on her.
00:35:20Make sure she stays close to me.
00:35:22Sure enough, I'm never just your wife.
00:35:25I'm a pawn.
00:35:36So, we're going to have to make sure that everything is going to stick together.
00:35:41Hi, everybody.
00:35:42My name is Congressman Marcus Flick, and this is my team, okay?
00:35:46We came a long way to hear your thoughts. Please, guys, get them out there.
00:35:49Well, I'm curious what you plan to do about this drought we've been struggling with
00:35:53these last 18 months.
00:35:56That's a great question.
00:35:58Off the noggin, I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been
00:36:02finding their way to Sacramento, but they have also been falling onto deaf ears.
00:36:07Marcus is so handsome, isn't he?
00:36:09He's the pride of California.
00:36:11The most stylish, well-dressed politician in the state, hands down.
00:36:16And such a perfect husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her.
00:36:20Perfect husband?
00:36:22These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick.
00:36:24What'd you say?
00:36:28Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:36:37Do you want to check on the horses?
00:36:43They're right over there.
00:36:52Come on, sweetie.
00:37:02Looks like you two are having fun.
00:37:04Yeah, we are.
00:37:06If you want to pet a horse, I have one over here you can check out.
00:37:10This one's fine.
00:37:16Perfect. Congressman, can I get a shot of you two feeding the horse?
00:37:20Yeah, if you could feed the horse with her, please.
00:37:23This is great. Perfect.
00:37:26Yes, yes.
00:37:29Oh, perfect.
00:37:36What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:37:42What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:37:44That's insane.
00:37:46But everyone is praising his kindness and sincerity.
00:37:49No one is even noticing, Ariel.
00:37:51The governor's campaign is coming up.
00:37:53We need to be careful.
00:38:01Simone, I thought I told you to handle your daughter.
00:38:10Congressman, we're moving on to the next activity.
00:38:13Okay, I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:38:16Just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:38:18Okay.
00:38:27He is a control freak.
00:38:39So, I understand the likelihood of you guys actually being able to read this is pretty low.
00:38:44More or less, just trust me.
00:38:47Marcus!
00:39:07Are you alright?
00:39:09Yeah, I'm alright. Are you hurt?
00:39:11I'm fine.
00:39:13I'm fine.
00:39:20Ariel, can you hear me?
00:39:24No, I can't hear you.
00:39:27Ariel, if you can hear me, why are you answering my questions?
00:39:30I don't understand.
00:39:34Ariel, tell me the truth.
00:39:37Can you hear me?
00:39:43Why did you lie to me?
00:39:57Let go of me!
00:40:00How long have you had your hearing back, and when did you get your hearing back?
00:40:03Ariel, why did you lie to me?
00:40:08The day you wanted me dead.
00:40:13What are you talking about?
00:40:15The day my hearing came back was the day you wanted me dead.
00:40:18When did I want you dead?
00:40:20God, you really don't remember?
00:40:22The day I got kidnapped?
00:40:24The first thing I heard when I got my hearing back was you saying,
00:40:27call me back when she's a corpse.
00:40:31Oh my God.
00:40:33The phone call.
00:40:35It wasn't just a spam call.
00:40:39Why didn't you tell me that you were kidnapped?
00:40:41Why didn't you tell me that you were in danger?
00:40:43Have you always been like this?
00:40:45Blaming everybody but yourself?
00:40:47Did you even care that I was in danger?
00:40:49Do you even see me as your wife?
00:40:51Because every day that I spend with you,
00:40:53I am in a life that I did not choose.
00:40:56How was I supposed to know that the way I'm treating you is causing you so much pain?
00:40:59Please just let me go.
00:41:02I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:06Please just let me go.
00:41:08I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:10Remember?
00:41:12You really think that of me?
00:41:14Because I wasn't blind or heartless before, Marcus.
00:41:16I could still feel things.
00:41:18I just couldn't hear.
00:41:24Ariel, please.
00:41:26Don't.
00:41:28Don't touch me.
00:41:30Ariel!
00:41:38Ariel!
00:41:44So...
00:41:46So, she can actually hear now.
00:41:48This is getting interesting.
00:42:08Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:33I've heard you can hear again, shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:38What the hell do you want?
00:42:39I thought you'd want to hear someone's voice.
00:42:40Come on, sweetie.
00:42:41Say hello to your dear brother.
00:42:42Johnny?
00:42:43No, please don't hurt him.
00:42:44Oh, well, I can't guarantee that.
00:42:45It depends on my mood.
00:42:46Look, if you do anything you want, just don't hurt him.
00:42:47What a deep love.
00:42:48That's touching, but you ruined my plan last night.
00:42:49I'm sorry.
00:42:50I'm sorry.
00:42:51I'm sorry.
00:42:52I'm sorry.
00:42:53I'm sorry.
00:42:54I'm sorry.
00:42:55I'm sorry.
00:42:56I'm sorry.
00:42:57I'm sorry.
00:42:58I'm sorry.
00:42:59I'm sorry.
00:43:00I'm sorry.
00:43:01I'm sorry.
00:43:02I'm sorry.
00:43:03I'm sorry.
00:43:04I'm sorry.
00:43:05I'm sorry.
00:43:06I'm sorry.
00:43:07Oh, but you ruined my plan last time, remember?
00:43:09I swear to God, if you touch a hair on his head, I will make you pay.
00:43:13Oh, I'm not going to kill him.
00:43:15But as a punishment for your escape, I'm going to leave him in the mountains.
00:43:20I hope he's lucky enough to survive.
00:43:27Adrian, Amanda, the reality is we only have about eight weeks left of this campaign.
00:43:32campaign. So we need to lock in. Our goal is to get ahold of Sacramento, L.A., San Diego,
00:43:39all the official spreads.
00:43:44Johnny? Johnny? Johnny? Johnny? Johnny, it's gonna be okay. I'm here now. I'm here. It's
00:43:50okay, it's me. It's Ariel, I'm here. It's okay. It's okay. I'm here. I'm here. It's
00:43:56gonna be okay. It's okay.
00:44:00Congressman Flick, we found the woman in the unconscious mail.
00:44:03Congressman Marcus? Marcus? Marcus, it's Johnny, there's something wrong and I don't know what
00:44:09to do.
00:44:09I got you, okay? Don't panic. I'm gonna take care of him. We need to get him to the hospital
00:44:13immediately. We're gonna take a helicopter.
00:44:21Listen to me, okay? He's gonna go to the hospital, we're gonna take care of him immediately.
00:44:25But you're hurt too. You need treatment.
00:44:29Congressman Flick, can I ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:34She's my... She's my wife.
00:44:41Can I ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:45She's my... She's... She's my wife.
00:44:53And the victim's my brother.
00:44:56This is your wife?
00:44:58Yes. And we need to get her to the hospital immediately. She's in shock. We'll talk about
00:45:03this later.
00:45:04Doctor, how's my brother?
00:45:23The patient's stable. He's just a little shaken up, but he'll be fine. He just needs rest.
00:45:28We appreciate your care.
00:45:30Thank you, Doctor.
00:45:31Mr. Congressman Flick, it's an honor to serve you. We'll give him the best of everything.
00:45:35Don't worry, we'll take good care of your family.
00:45:43Marcus, I don't know how...
00:45:45You ruined everything again!
00:45:51You ruined everything again!
00:45:53Your son's in a coma, and your daughter's injured, and you're just gonna come over here and start
00:45:57pointing fingers at a hospital?
00:45:58Marcus, it's all over in the news. Ariel went and rescued Johnny today. If people find out
00:46:03she's in a relationship with you, it could ruin your chances of being governor.
00:46:07That's not the point, okay? Family... Family comes first.
00:46:11Don't misunderstand me. I care for Johnny, but he's out of danger now and it's just a
00:46:15matter of time before he recovers. But you... You're in the middle of an election! One mistake
00:46:21can cost us everything!
00:46:23You care about election results, but I think you only care about your own profits, don't
00:46:27you? I'm telling you right now, you're gonna treat my wife with respect, or you're gonna
00:46:32have to leave. Now leave.
00:46:40Don't take it personally.
00:46:41How could I not? She's done this my whole life, regardless of if I could hear or not.
00:46:46That's... That's the family I grew up in.
00:46:49Listen to me. You, me, Johnny...
00:46:53We're each other's family.
00:47:24Yes?
00:47:26You know, this is the first phone call we've had since you...
00:47:29Since you lost your hearing three years ago?
00:47:31Yeah. First call.
00:47:34Yeah.
00:47:36Wait. Is this the first...
00:47:39Did you call in another line?
00:47:41No. Uh, no. That's not... That's not what I meant. Um...
00:47:44How did you know Johnny was in danger today?
00:47:47Well, I asked the caretakers to inform me if anything ever happened to him.
00:47:50Well, I asked the caretakers to inform me if anything ever happened to him. So...
00:47:54Why? Why would you do that?
00:47:57Well, because I promised you, Ariel.
00:48:00I promised that I was gonna protect Johnny.
00:48:02I guess I... I don't know what to say. I mean, thank you?
00:48:06The thing with Johnny, I was just... I was so scared.
00:48:08I can't imagine what I'd do if anything happened to him.
00:48:12He's my only family left.
00:48:15Open the door.
00:48:21Open the door.
00:48:33Hey.
00:48:45Wait, wait.
00:48:50You know, I would have gone crazy if anything happened to you today.
00:48:54Thank you, Marcus.
00:48:57For everything.
00:48:59Come to the office tomorrow.
00:49:01I got something to share with you.
00:49:08Hey.
00:49:11I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:14Why?
00:49:17I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:20Why?
00:49:22Because I've been pushing you too much.
00:49:24And you need to follow your dreams.
00:49:29Here.
00:49:31What's this?
00:49:33This is the key to a design studio in downtown.
00:49:37I raised three million in capital just for you.
00:49:39It's all yours.
00:49:41Are you serious?
00:49:43I'm not joking. And I need you to promise me something, okay?
00:49:46Please do not tell your mom or anybody that you can hear now.
00:49:49It's probably best if they're not judging us.
00:49:53Okay.
00:49:55I have something for you too.
00:49:59What is this?
00:50:02For the past three years, I have been documenting some of your looks.
00:50:06It's just some ideas, designs, and things.
00:50:12That's perfect.
00:50:16Come here.
00:50:18Come here.
00:50:27Come in.
00:50:30Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:38Come in.
00:50:41Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:44Okay, go ahead.
00:50:49Well, your governor's campaign has hit a critical phase.
00:50:54But your support is slipping.
00:50:56And meanwhile, Stephen Hopkins, his approval ratings are climbing.
00:51:04I have it under control.
00:51:06Under control? I don't see any progress in that.
00:51:10You are too distracted.
00:51:12Father, I'll handle my campaign.
00:51:14Ariel is not the problem.
00:51:15Hopkins' wife is actively involved in women's foundations and charity events, boosting his appeal.
00:51:22If you want to gain ground, Marcus, you need to present the image of a flawless family.
00:51:37Dress like Claire and join Marcus at campaign events?
00:51:46You won't do it?
00:52:02Father Ariel, she is herself.
00:52:05She's not imitating her sister.
00:52:07She's not going to pretend to be anyone else in order to win political votes.
00:52:10You ungrateful son of a bitch!
00:52:13We gave you everything!
00:52:15Resources, training, this position!
00:52:19And this? This is how you're going to disobey us?
00:52:23This is my wife, okay? Insulting her is disrespecting me!
00:52:27Respect?
00:52:29You, you are nothing without the Flick name.
00:52:33Nothing!
00:52:37You, you are nothing!
00:52:40You, you are nothing!
00:52:44Everything that you have here is us! None of your merit!
00:52:49And I am thankful for what you did for me, but I'm not going to use the people I love to win political games!
00:52:55That is my boundary.
00:52:57A true politician has no soft spots, Marcus.
00:53:00Well, if being a successful politician means using the people I love, then I'll give it all up.
00:53:06How can you say that, Marcus?
00:53:07This is ridiculous!
00:53:10If we'd have known, we never would have picked you up at the orphanage. Ever!
00:53:17Marcus is adopted.
00:53:19Let's go.
00:53:22Well, I'm sorry I wasn't the perfect son!
00:53:25Come on!
00:53:35Marcus, he's carried more than I ever realized.
00:53:40Congressman Marcus Flick to deliver inspiring election pep talk in Southern California.
00:53:56Here, for your campaign tomorrow.
00:53:59I already signed it.
00:54:03But the campaign just started and now you want a divorce?
00:54:07You see, somebody called me and they told me that if you love someone, you do not trap them in a political marriage.
00:54:17Ariel, I thought I was protecting you.
00:54:20But I was just helping myself.
00:54:23I was preventing you from what you wanted because I thought it was going to hurt you.
00:54:28But I was being a hypocrite.
00:54:32And I'm sorry.
00:54:35This?
00:54:37At least one of us gets to be free.
00:54:43But I was being a hypocrite.
00:54:45And I'm sorry.
00:54:48Now, at least one of us gets to be free.
00:54:52At least one of us gets to be free.
00:55:22At least one of us gets to be free.
00:55:52Come on.
00:56:03Congressman, do you know what a mistake you've made?
00:56:09Congressman, do you know what a mistake you've made?
00:56:13You know, I don't know what I did tonight, but feel free to punish me.
00:56:16What are you saying? Aren't you afraid of being overheard?
00:56:19Ariel, can I talk dirty to my wife?
00:56:23Stop being slick.
00:56:25I, um, I made you a coat.
00:56:28For the rally tomorrow. Hope you like it.
00:56:31Wait, a trench coat? Isn't that too flashy?
00:56:33No, the suit cliche thing is so over. People crave more personality these days.
00:56:38I'll do whatever you say, ma'am.
00:56:40Okay, well, I will bring you the coat.
00:56:43I'll see you. And, uh, I miss you.
00:56:48Okay, well, that's enough out of you.
00:56:51But, fine, I miss you too.
00:57:18Sir, a package arrived for you.
00:57:25Oh, my God.
00:57:27This is Ariel's coat. Where is she?
00:57:30No word yet. She's not answering calls.
00:57:32Well, you need to check the studio right now, okay?
00:57:35I'm on it, Congressman. Your supporters are waiting for you. You need to get on stage now.
00:57:39No, they can wait. I'm gonna go check on Ariel right now, okay?
00:57:43What are you doing? Look, time is gold.
00:57:45You don't want to let your sponsors down, do you?
00:57:50Tom, you're gonna go check on her right now. Tell me if anything changes.
00:57:56Thanks for having me, everybody. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:57:59I think, as dark as it is, we're gonna have a great night, everybody.
00:58:07Oh, my God. There's water everywhere. There's water everywhere. Oh, my God, help!
00:58:15Somebody help me! Help, please!
00:58:21Johnny?
00:58:25Johnny?
00:58:27Johnny, wake up. That's not funny. Johnny, wake up.
00:58:30Oh, my God.
00:58:32Johnny, look what you did. This is all your fault. What did you do to Johnny?
00:58:36Oh, my God.
00:58:38Oh, my God.
00:58:40Oh, my God.
00:58:42Oh, my God.
00:58:44Johnny, you're nothing but a curse!
00:58:47Oh, my God, is he breathing? Johnny? Johnny?
00:58:50Oh, my God, it's my fault.
00:58:52Oh, my God.
00:58:54Johnny? Johnny? I need you.
00:58:57Help! Help!
00:59:10Turn it on.
00:59:14What do you want with me?
00:59:21You'll find out soon enough.
00:59:23Thanks for having me, everybody. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:59:32Oh, how sweet.
00:59:35You think the congressman knows his wife is just a breath away from death?
00:59:39It's just a breath away from death.
00:59:42You want to get more charging?
00:59:45Call him.
00:59:47Now.
00:59:50Oh, you want me to do it?
00:59:52Fine.
00:59:55You're welcome.
00:59:57No, Marcus, don't answer.
01:00:00My goal is to increase economic growth by 20% all while tackling homelessness and reducing crime.
01:00:10Sir.
01:00:18Marcus, I'm so sorry. I love you. I lied to...
01:00:22No, Ariel. Ariel, where are you?
01:00:24I lied to you about the phone calls. I thought I could protect you.
01:00:28But now I think that maybe if I'd just been honest with you all along, none of this would have ever happened.
01:00:32Ariel, please stay on the phone, okay? Just tell me where you...
01:00:33The river town park. Come alone, no cops, or she dies.
01:00:42I gotta go. Congressman, this is live nationwide. You can't just leave now.
01:00:48I gotta go.
01:00:49I gotta go.
01:00:58Well, that's so sweet. He's actually abandoning his campaign to save you.
01:01:04No, you can have all my money. Just don't make Marcus come here.
01:01:07Shut up!
01:01:11This isn't about money. This is about me and Marcus. You're just the paper.
01:01:16Wait a minute. Your voice. I know your voice.
01:01:21You haven't figured it out by now? It doesn't matter. You'll be dead soon anyway.
01:01:34Ariel!
01:01:46Why? Why? Why?
01:01:49Ariel!
01:01:54Ariel!
01:01:58Ariel, I'm coming!
01:02:03Please.
01:02:05Ariel!
01:02:12Please pick up. Please pick up. Please pick up. Please pick up.
01:02:16Oh, my God.
01:02:24Ariel!
01:02:25Ariel!
01:02:42Ariel!
01:02:45Oh, my God.
01:02:47Ariel! Ariel! Ariel! It's okay. It's okay. Ariel, I'm gonna get you home.
01:02:52It's good.
01:02:56Marcus, behind you!
01:03:08It's you?
01:03:11It's you?
01:03:26It's you?
01:03:28It's you?
01:03:33But we were friends. You approached me!
01:03:38After years of digging and searching, I uncovered the real secrets about your perfect marriage.
01:03:45Yeah, I kidnapped you once you got away, and you stole my phone too, so I had to get closer.
01:03:50I joined your campaign team. Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't track threatening calls you were getting?
01:03:58That's because your culprit was right there on your IT team. How blind can you be?
01:04:06Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't track threatening calls you were getting?
01:04:12That's because your culprit was right there on your IT team. How blind can you be?
01:04:17This is all because you're trying to sabotage my campaign?
01:04:21It's not even worth it!
01:04:23Look at my face! Do you even recognize me? Do you know who I am?
01:04:28Of course you don't. Let me remind you, 15 years ago, the orphanage, your best friend.
01:04:43No.
01:04:47No, no, it can't be.
01:04:49Yeah. Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:05:00No.
01:05:04No, no, it can't be.
01:05:06Yeah. Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:05:09Hey, where's my money, huh?
01:05:11I don't have it. I don't have anything.
01:05:13Hey, leave him alone! Leave him alone!
01:05:19You okay?
01:05:21What happened?
01:05:23He called me a fat pig.
01:05:25Ignore them. They're just jerks.
01:05:28Thanks, Marcus. Can I hang out with you?
01:05:31Of course. We're friends now.
01:05:35Sean, what happened to you? You've changed.
01:05:38Do you recognize me now?
01:05:41Noble congressman, or should I say you're an orphan nobody wanted?
01:05:45You keep that a secret from your voters, too?
01:05:48Sean, why do you hate me? We were friends.
01:05:50Why do you hate me? Why are you targeting Ariel?
01:05:52Friends? You stole everything from me, Marcus.
01:05:56That stage you parade around on.
01:05:59This life of power and respect belonged to me, not to you.
01:06:03And at first I'd let it go. I wanted to let it go.
01:06:07But every time I turned on the TV, I saw you parading around this perfect life, and it wasn't fair.
01:06:13The flicks chose Marcus.
01:06:15Shut up! The flicks chose me.
01:06:18But on adoption day, yeah, you remember, I got sick from the cake you gave me.
01:06:23I was at the hospital with food poisoning, so they took you instead.
01:06:27Sean, I went back to the orphanage.
01:06:30Sean, I went back to the orphanage.
01:06:32I spoke to the dean, and he said that you were adopted by a loving family, that you were happy.
01:06:37Happy?
01:06:39I was adopted into a nightmare.
01:06:42A couple that divorced and left me out to rot.
01:06:45What about that is happy?
01:06:49Sean, I'm sorry for what you went through, but revenge is not the way.
01:06:53We've got to figure this out together.
01:06:55Figure it out? What are we going to figure out, Marcus?
01:06:56I spent years suffering, watching you live my life.
01:07:01We are never figuring it out.
01:07:07Hold on. I got you.
01:07:09Sean, I'm not going to let you fall any further.
01:07:14Come on.
01:07:18Sean.
01:07:20Sean, we don't have to hate each other.
01:07:22Okay, just let it go.
01:07:23Just let it go. I will go to the police.
01:07:25I will explain everything. You don't have to worry about it.
01:07:27Just please...
01:07:29Please don't let the hatred consume you.
01:07:35You were always a saint, Marcus.
01:07:37Marcus, look out!
01:07:42Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
01:07:44Are you okay?
01:07:46Perfect.
01:07:48You get to die in front of the one you love the most.
01:07:51My revenge is complete.
01:07:54Daniel, don't! You don't need to...
01:08:01It's okay. You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:08:04It's going to be okay. I'm fine.
01:08:06I'm fine.
01:08:10Daniel, you don't need to...
01:08:15It's okay. You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:08:18It's going to be okay. I'm fine.
01:08:20It's okay.
01:08:22I need you to apply pressure.
01:08:24I need you to stay with me, okay?
01:08:27I love you and I need you to hang in there, okay?
01:08:29I love you.
01:08:31Don't say that right now. Please just hold that for later.
01:08:33We're going to save that later, okay?
01:08:35We're going to get out of here. Do you trust me?
01:08:37I trust you.
01:08:40Daniel, come to the lake.
01:08:42Now! Marcus is fucking dying!
01:08:51Ariel?
01:08:54Claire?
01:08:57Why are you here?
01:09:00I've been living abroad.
01:09:02Marcus and I have been talking,
01:09:04keeping in touch over the last couple of years
01:09:06and his assistant told me that he was hospitalized.
01:09:08I'm so sorry.
01:09:10I didn't realize you and Marcus still talked.
01:09:12I thought, um...
01:09:15You don't know that...
01:09:17why he married you instead of me?
01:09:19Why he married you instead of me?
01:09:27Claire.
01:09:29If you're trying to convince me to stay, don't bother.
01:09:31Claire, I admire your courage to lead the life you want.
01:09:33I don't want to be a pawn
01:09:35for the family's games anymore.
01:09:37I want to be free.
01:09:39I know.
01:09:41I'm not going to hold you back anymore.
01:09:43But you've got to do one thing for me.
01:09:45Can you please tell your parents
01:09:46to let Ariel marry me?
01:09:49Marcus chose me?
01:09:54Marcus chose me?
01:09:56He knew that Simone would marry you off for money
01:09:58if he couldn't.
01:10:00He married you to protect you.
01:10:02And if he acted indifferent,
01:10:04it's only because he didn't want you
01:10:06to get too attached.
01:10:08Why didn't he just say that?
01:10:10You know Marcus.
01:10:12He can't admit his feelings very easily.
01:10:13But his love is
01:10:16steeper than anyone's.
01:10:20So,
01:10:23he doesn't know that I've been in love with him
01:10:25since we were children?
01:10:27It's always been you,
01:10:29Ariel.
01:10:31Ever since we were children,
01:10:33it's only ever been you.
01:10:35He's always loved you.
01:10:37He's always loved you.
01:10:48Marcus, you really are
01:10:50the dumbest asshole in the world.
01:10:52You know that, right?
01:10:54Why didn't you tell me
01:10:56you married me to protect me?
01:10:58Why were you so cold?
01:11:00Why did you...
01:11:03Why did you pretend you hated me?
01:11:06Because none of it worked.
01:11:10I still love you.
01:11:13Of course I still love you.
01:11:16But I need you.
01:11:18You can't leave me, okay?
01:11:24Take this ring.
01:11:27Take it.
01:11:30And put it on my finger again.
01:11:32I just...
01:11:34I need to
01:11:36hear you say that you love me.
01:11:39Please, Marcus.
01:11:54Marcus.
01:11:57You're awake.
01:12:04This...
01:12:06This ring wasn't left behind
01:12:08by your sister.
01:12:11It was made custom for you.
01:12:14It's unique, just like you.
01:12:18It just wasn't the right time
01:12:20to give it to you before
01:12:22because you were mad
01:12:24and I'm sorry.
01:12:27Marcus,
01:12:29are you always this overdramatic?
01:12:30Yes.
01:12:32And it's because I think
01:12:34you're the only one who can handle me.
01:12:49Miss Ariel Rochester.
01:12:53Are you still...
01:12:54Will you still marry me?
01:12:57Yes.
01:12:59I will.
01:13:14Come here.
01:13:25Come here.
01:13:31Stop it! Stop!
01:13:33I'm not kidding.
01:13:35Don't be so naughty, Governor.
01:13:38I like a bit naughty.
01:13:55I want to take a moment
01:13:57to thank my parents
01:13:59and my campaign team
01:14:01and all my friends out there
01:14:03who've carried me through every challenge.
01:14:05But above all,
01:14:08I want to thank my wife,
01:14:12Ariel Rochester,
01:14:14whose strength, courage, and love
01:14:17I wouldn't be alive without today.
01:14:21This woman is not only my wife,
01:14:24she is the dream
01:14:26that carried me through my childhood
01:14:28and she's the light that pierces my darkest days.
01:14:31Ariel,
01:14:33I love you.
01:14:35Can you hear that?
01:14:37Yes, I can.
01:14:39Loud and clear.
01:14:54I love you.
