00:00:00Can you believe they sent a death stylist?
00:00:09Who do they think are going to be wearing these haute couture designer pieces today?
00:00:20There he is, Mr. Congressman Marcus Blakeson.
00:00:35He's so handsome.
00:00:40Congressman Marcus is California's youngest and most promising political star.
00:00:45OMG, imagine dating someone that hot.
00:00:49His wife is actually a chester.
00:00:53My friend Tommy said he adores his wife so much, he never brings her to any public events to protect her from the media.
00:01:01Has anyone ever actually seen his wife?
00:01:15Let me just hang on.
00:01:43Okay.
00:01:48Go.
00:01:56We're married, but I'm just a pawn in his quest for power.
00:02:00In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:29I 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.
00:02:57Now.
00:03:00That's right.
00:03:01Your dad.
00:03:06Go on.
00:03:14Marcus.
00:03:15Marcus, please pick up the phone.
00:03:18Of course.
00:03:19Thank you, Congressman.
00:03:20Of course, absolutely.
00:03:30Hello?
00:03:33Hello?
00:03:34I have your wife.
00:03:35And you're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her.
00:03:42Hello?
00:03:43I have your wife.
00:03:45And if you don't do exactly what I say, I'm going to kill her.
00:03:49I don't have time for these games.
00:03:50Congressman Marcus.
00:03:52I truly cannot believe that you don't care about your wife's life.
00:03:56And I'm telling you, I get three or four of these scams a week, so why don't you go kick rocks?
00:04:00I'll tell you one more time.
00:04:01She's my hostage.
00:04:03Well, then call me when she's a corpse.
00:04:07Woo!
00:04:08That man is fucking cruel, you know that?
00:04:13Heartless politician.
00:04:14You know, if he doesn't care about whether or not you die, I guess it's my choice.
00:04:20And believe me, you're beautiful.
00:04:23It's a shame you're not going to know what you're dying for.
00:04:28Marcus, you motherfucker!
00:04:39Tom?
00:04:42That's all. I keep getting scam calls to my phone.
00:04:44I need you to check out the origin of the number.
00:04:46I've already checked this number a hundred times.
00:04:48I understand, but we need to make sure that my wife is safe.
00:04:50Copy that.
00:04:51Also, if you could just let Mr. Versace know I'll be right with him.
00:05:10What are you doing?
00:05:19No. Alcohol.
00:05:24Are you kidding me? Give me that.
00:05:33What is with the attitude?
00:05:40Hello?
00:05:42Mr. Flick, the call had an antispirant measure and it was too brief to trace.
00:05:47They also used a voice changer, so voice analyst is out.
00:05:51These people have no idea who they're dealing with.
00:05:54They really think that my wife is my weakness. Ridiculous.
00:05:59Marcus, I 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. Your husband can't trace it.
00:06:27Marcus, marrying you three years ago for 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.
00:06:49Take the dress off. Really?
00:06:52This is what you want, to be the wife of a politician?
00:06:55It's just like the dress. It's not even yours.
00:06:58Do I have a choice?
00:07:00Let's get things straight. I 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?
00:07:21Yeah. Yeah, 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. Okay?
00:07:43Are you listening?
00:07:45Why are you doing this to me?
00:07:49Because people like us are not afforded the choice.
00:07:54The choice.
00:08:04Ariel? Ariel, are you okay?
00:08:09Ariel?
00:08:11Ariel?
00:08:23Has Ariel recovered any of her hearing since that sudden deafness at the wedding?
00:08:28It's not so bad being deaf, Mrs. Flick.
00:08:30It spares Ariel from hearing anything that might damage Marcus' campaign for governor.
00:08:35Exactly.
00:08:36And when Marcus becomes governor, we might consider cosmetic surgery for Ariel.
00:08:42Make her look more like her sister.
00:08:44I'm sure the public will sympathize with Marcus that he has not abandoned his disabled wife.
00:08:50You're so wise, Mr. Flick. That's a brilliant strategy.
00:08:54You all seem more concerned about politics than the well-being of my wife.
00:08:58You really think it's appropriate gloating over her condition?
00:09:01I was just considering your career.
00:09:03While we're on the topic, as long as I'm married to Ariel,
00:09:05we'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 good that you couldn't hear what my parents said about you.
00:10:12I just want to thank you all for making the time to be here today.
00:10:14I think that's a big deal.
00:10:19I think it's important to just acknowledge that in spite of recent events...
00:10:26Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:10:43Our state goes through a lot of disasters.
00:10:45Mudslides, we deal with droughts, we deal with wildfires.
00:10:49In my understanding, over the last 40 years,
00:10:52a lot of things have built up to this moment.
00:10:55A lot of things that are perceived to bring us to...
00:11:04Just one moment, guys.
00:11:08Who is this?
00:11:09Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:11:14I don't think you've done your homework.
00:11:16My wife's name is Claire.
00:11:18No.
00:11:19When she ran away three years ago, you married Ariel to save your political career.
00:11:23What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:11:29What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:11:33Swapping wives between two sisters?
00:11:35I don't know my wife's name is Ariel.
00:11:38Tell me who the hell this is.
00:11:40It doesn't matter who I am.
00:11:41Divorce your wife, and...
00:11:42Your secret's out.
00:11:44Tell me who the hell this is.
00:11:46It doesn't matter who I am.
00:11:47Divorce your wife, and...
00:11:48Your secret's disappear with me.
00:11:50I mean, after all, she's just a substitute, and you hate her, so...
00:11:53It shouldn't really be a problem.
00:11:55There's no chance I'm divorcing Ariel.
00:11:57If anything's sick about it.
00:11:59I'll give you a month, or...
00:12:01I'll kill her.
00:12:06Kill her.
00:12:09It must be because Marcus is running for governor,
00:12:11so now he doesn't want to divorce me.
00:12:15Now I need a new plan.
00:12:29Mr. Flick, you're about to be on camera,
00:12:31and the press will definitely make a big deal of that moment.
00:12:35Tom, I want you to get me the best computer engineers in the world.
00:12:38We're gonna nail the bastards threatening Ariel.
00:12:41Copy that, sir.
00:12:42Also, I need you to make it a top priority that we find a fashion consultant,
00:12:47and also a fashion editor.
00:12:49I want someone who understands political messaging.
00:12:56Hi, Johnny.
00:13:07There are some things that can only be appreciated once they're gone.
00:13:10You know?
00:13:11I mean, I've lived the past three years of my life in a silent hell,
00:13:14and now life has given me a second chance to hear again.
00:13:20This time...
00:13:23I'm gonna live for myself.
00:13:27This time...
00:13:30I'm gonna live for myself.
00:13:34Johnny, you're my guardian angel, you know that, right?
00:13:38I mean, I know that when Mom married into the Rochester family,
00:13:41they wouldn't accept you because of your...
00:13:45differences, but...
00:13:47I need you to know that I would never give up on you.
00:13:52Ever.
00:13:55Okay?
00:14:07Okay.
00:14:25Dr. Park, is it possible to regain hearing in a case like my wife's?
00:14:29Is it treatable with surgery?
00:14:31Her sudden deafness was triggered by a severe shock.
00:14:34We can attempt surgery, but I must be honest,
00:14:37the 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.
00:14:47I'm so sorry.
00:14:50I know it's not the news you wanted to hear.
00:14:55We're doing everything we can, okay?
00:14:56Okay.
00:14:59There we go.
00:15:04Learn to please your husband and have a baby ASAP.
00:15:35Tom.
00:15:36The manager sent me a few photos.
00:15:38I need you to trace them.
00:15:39Yes, sir.
00:15:40Keep them on the line for more than five minutes for better tracking.
00:16:05Did you see that?
00:16:06It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:16:09She's cheating on you.
00:16:11My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:16:15It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:16:18She's cheating on you.
00:16:20My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:16:22Why? You don't think she's attractive enough?
00:16:25No, I think she's quite attractive, actually.
00:16:28I just know her.
00:16:30And she wouldn't betray her promises.
00:16:33You know, those photos you sent.
00:16:35The faces are unrecognizable.
00:16:37How are you so confident that they're my wife?
00:16:39Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife so well?
00:16:41Vera has a birthmark on her chest.
00:16:43Surely you're familiar with it.
00:16:45How do you know about the birthmark?
00:16:46Who are you?
00:16:47It doesn't matter who I am.
00:16:49Hear my demands.
00:16:50Divorce your wife or this provocative photo goes public.
00:16:53I'll claim that the perfect congressman can't satisfy his wife.
00:16:57Leaving her to find happiness elsewhere.
00:17:00What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:07What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:10Damn, I haven't thought of that.
00:17:12I hate her.
00:17:13I can't stand seeing her live such a privileged life.
00:17:16Well, I'm not going to indulge your twisted desires.
00:17:19She's my wife and I'm going to protect her.
00:17:21Don't act like you really love her.
00:17:23You're just worried that a divorce would hurt your political image.
00:17:26You think you know me so well.
00:17:28If you love someone, you don't trap them in a political sham marriage, you hypocrite.
00:17:34Hello?
00:17:36Hello?
00:17:38This man is too complicated to understand.
00:17:46No, sir, we've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software.
00:17:49You know, it's only been traced in the general area.
00:17:53Okay, go ahead.
00:17:54Your phone's location is within a five-mile radius.
00:17:58Which includes your house, sir.
00:18:05Ariel.
00:18:07She's in danger.
00:18:28Are you mad at me?
00:18:54You mad at me?
00:18:58Ariel.
00:18:59Don't!
00:19:01Okay.
00:19:02I won't touch you.
00:19:03I won't touch you.
00:19:22We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image-making
00:19:26and understands how each garment can tell a compelling story.
00:19:33Ariel.
00:19:40Mom, what are you doing?
00:19:42That's my work.
00:19:43Instead of focusing on this garbage,
00:19:45why don't you learn how to dress nicely so you can catch a good man like your sister did?
00:19:49Mom, clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men.
00:19:53I can't believe you just said that.
00:19:55Ariel, you're going to stop chasing these fanciful dreams.
00:19:59Do you remember where you came from?
00:20:01Without my marriage into the Rochester family,
00:20:03you wouldn't even have the money to attend a private school and focus on this nonsense.
00:20:08If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me.
00:20:12Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband.
00:20:16Just like I did.
00:20:32Well, the worst I could say is no.
00:20:42As long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer,
00:20:46I'm ready to work for anyone.
00:20:49I can't let anybody, especially him, find out I can hear again.
00:20:53I have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly.
00:20:57Maybe using text to speech is the best.
00:21:01I don't know.
00:21:13My name is Ariel Anderson.
00:21:14I graduated from the School of Visual Art with a degree in fashion design.
00:21:17I lost my hearing due to an accident three years ago.
00:21:19Unfortunately, a hearing aid won't really help.
00:21:22Therefore, I'd appreciate it if you could use pen and paper for communication.
00:21:25I assure you I can keep up.
00:21:27I'm concerned that her hearing might affect her performance.
00:21:30A disabled woman will make our campaign team look more diverse and socially responsible.
00:21:35The board is within better of us.
00:21:37I hear both of your concerns, however.
00:21:39But the reality is we only need a wardrobe consultant that's qualified.
00:21:45The congressman needs to attend an unscheduled event.
00:21:48Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:21:50Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:21:59Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:22:14Is she modifying it just by eye?
00:22:21Congressman Flick, may I ask you to try it on?
00:22:39Five feet, nine inches tall, 165 pounds.
00:22:42Chest, 33.6 inches.
00:22:44Waist, 32.9 inches.
00:22:47Chest, 33.6 inches.
00:22:49Waist, 32.9 inches.
00:22:51Hips, 35.7 inches.
00:22:53These are the congressman's measurements and I'm confident that they're accurate.
00:22:56That's entirely correct.
00:22:59True.
00:23:00But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:09But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:13Sorry, congressman. I can't hear.
00:23:19I want you to take a look at these photos.
00:23:21Tell us five things that you see wrong with them.
00:23:33The tie is too flashy. The pants are too short.
00:23:35And overall, the photo screams one word. Arrogance.
00:23:39She is incredible.
00:23:44She's the one.
00:23:50Congrats.
00:23:51Welcome.
00:24:01I was supposed to be divorcing him, but now I guess I'm working with him.
00:24:09Hi, I'm Daniel Campbell.
00:24:13It's good to meet you.
00:24:15I'm so happy to have you on the team.
00:24:17You're great.
00:24:19Would you like to get a coffee?
00:24:22Sure.
00:24:23Yeah?
00:24:24Yeah.
00:24:34Who is that guy?
00:24:35Can we fire that guy?
00:24:36What?
00:24:37No, that's inappropriate. We can't fire people for no good reason.
00:24:40That'll go against our team's reputation.
00:24:43Also, not to mention the upcoming campaign.
00:24:46Well, then keep a close eye on him, okay?
00:24:48That's not part of my job.
00:24:52So, um, what happened?
00:24:54Your...
00:24:56Party.
00:25:01Accident.
00:25:07I know.
00:25:08Why don't you get, um, cochlear implants?
00:25:11Cochlear implants for your ear?
00:25:13Too... robotic?
00:25:17Interesting.
00:25:18The... silence.
00:25:22Helps.
00:25:24You need work?
00:25:26Cool.
00:25:28What are you doing here?
00:25:36I'm here to work, Campbell.
00:25:38It's my lunch break, Mr. Flick.
00:25:40Right.
00:25:42Well, then.
00:25:43I think my new wardrobe consultant needs to check on her duties.
00:25:57Ring.
00:26:05Ring.
00:26:12Didn't you insist that we hide the fact that we're married?
00:26:14So why would I bother wearing a ring?
00:26:18Someone hitting on you.
00:26:23Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm a human too.
00:26:25I have a life.
00:26:28People.
00:26:32Oh, my God.
00:26:33Oh, my God, it's you in the photo.
00:26:36Fucking asshole.
00:26:38I'm sorry.
00:26:39I'm sorry.
00:26:41I'm sorry!
00:26:52Erica.
00:26:54I'm sorry.
00:26:57No, Ariel.
00:27:06Don't forget.
00:27:07I'm still paying your brother's medical bills.
00:27:15Marcus, I cannot believe you threatened me with my own brother.
00:27:19What happened to you?
00:27:21What happened to us?
00:27:27The more successful he becomes,
00:27:29the more he feels like a stranger.
00:27:32He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16.
00:27:47Don't worry.
00:27:48Just hold on tight.
00:27:49I'll always protect you.
00:27:51Marcus.
00:27:53How come you're always free to visit Johnny with me?
00:27:56Um...
00:27:58Well, your brother's my brother.
00:28:01When I get older, I'm going to protect you, okay?
00:28:05I promise.
00:28:26Stay.
00:28:31Congressman Flick.
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.
00:28:47She's my wife.
00:28:48She's my wife.
00:28:49She's my wife.
00:28:50She's my wife.
00:28:51She's my wife.
00:28:52She's my wife.
00:28:53She's my wife.
00:28:54She'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.
00:29:02Pleasure.
00:29:14You again.
00:29:15Don't know how to quit, huh?
00:29:16Have you made up your mind?
00:29:17Are you divorcing your wife or not?
00:29:19Threats, huh?
00:29:20Go ahead.
00:29:21You're just going to want to regret this.
00:29:22I 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.
00:29:29You make me sick.
00:29:30How did you hear about this?
00:29:34Were you at the gala?
00:29:35Have you ever asked her what kind of life she would like to live?
00:29:38Have you even asked her if she loves you?
00:29:40I swear to God, if you do anything to Ariel, I will kill you.
00:29:43I will make you regret it.
00:29:47Ariel!
00:29:53Ariel!
00:29:58Can you hear me?
00:29:59Have you recovered your hearing?
00:30:00Stop!
00:30:01Why did you turn around when I just called your name?
00:30:07Have you found the phone?
00:30:10Oh, my God.
00:30:13Gas leak!
00:30:14Oh, my God!
00:30:24On the porch, she seemed to be on the phone.
00:30:28Was it her all along?
00:30:30Water.
00:30:54Why?
00:31:09It's not her.
00:31:17Explain!
00:31:19Just friends.
00:31:20Friends?
00:31:23I'm going to bed.
00:31:25Ariel.
00:31:29I'm jealous, okay?
00:31:30I'm sorry, I'm jealous.
00:31:32I'm jealous of what you and Daniel have.
00:31:49I'm sorry.
00:32:12What?
00:32:14Sleep.
00:32:16Yeah, but you're my wife.
00:32:28Sometimes I forget that you can't hear me.
00:32:32It's crazy that we've been married for three years,
00:32:35and I feel like you hate me more and more.
00:32:40You 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.
00:32:47You don't need to be the perfect daughter-in-law.
00:32:50I 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
00:33:10you sound like you love me.
00:33:13Which one is the real you?
00:33:24Sorry I'm late, everybody.
00:33:25Once dinner, I'm going to be ready.
00:33:28Enough with the carbs, Marcus.
00:33:30Your body shape reflects the family you come from.
00:33:33You don't want to end up obese like one of those poor people, do you?
00:33:36Sorry, Mom.
00:33:58There we go.
00:34:00You made PB&J, my favorite.
00:34:02There we go.
00:34:04You made PB&J, my favorite.
00:35:03Help with clothes?
00:35:15I really got to keep a close eye on her.
00:35:19Make sure she stays close to me.
00:35:21Sure enough, I'm never just your wife.
00:35:24I'm a pawn.
00:35:32So we're going to have to make sure that everything is going to stick together.
00:35:35Oh, here we are.
00:35:37Hi, everybody.
00:35:38My name is Congressman Marcus Flick, and this is my team, okay?
00:35:42We came a long way to hear your thoughts.
00:35:44Please, guys, get them out there.
00:35:46Well, I'm curious.
00:35:47What you plan to do about this drought we've been struggling with these last 18 months?
00:35:52That's a great question.
00:35:55Off the noggin, I think it's important to focus on what we're doing.
00:35:59Off the noggin, I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been finding their way to Sacramento,
00:36:06but they have also been falling onto deaf ears.
00:36:09Marcus is so handsome, isn't he?
00:36:11He's the pride of California.
00:36:13He's the most stylish, well-dressed politician in the state, hands down.
00:36:18And such a perfect husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her.
00:36:21Perfect husband?
00:36:23These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick.
00:36:26What'd you say?
00:36:30Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:36:39Do you want to check on the horses?
00:36:44Um, they're right over there.
00:36:54Come on, sweetie.
00:36:55Here, let me show you.
00:37:00Hehehe.
00:37:04Looks like you two are having fun.
00:37:06Yeah, we are.
00:37:08If you want to pet a horse, I have one over here you can check out.
00:37:12This one's fine.
00:37:17Perfect. Congressman, can I get a shot of you two feeding the horse?
00:37:21Yeah, if you could feed the horse with her, please.
00:37:25This is great. Perfect.
00:37:28Yes, yes.
00:37:31Oh, perfect.
00:37:38What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:37:44What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:37:46That's insane.
00:37:47But everyone is praising his kindness and sincerity.
00:37:51No one is even noticing everything.
00:37:53The governor's campaign is coming up.
00:37:55You need to be careful.
00:38:03Simone, I thought I told you to handle your daughter.
00:38:12Congressman, we're moving on to the next activity.
00:38:15Okay, I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:38:18Just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:38:21Okay.
00:38:25Okay.
00:38:30He is a control freak.
00:38:42So, I understand the likelihood of you guys actually being able to read this is pretty low.
00:38:50Marcus!
00:38:56Marcus!
00:39:09Are you all right?
00:39:11Yeah, I'm all right. Are you hurt?
00:39:14I'm fine. I...
00:39:21Ariel. Ariel, can you hear me?
00:39:25No, I can't hear you.
00:39:28Ariel, if you can hear me, why are you answering my questions?
00:39:31I don't understand.
00:39:35Ariel, tell me the truth.
00:39:38Can you hear me?
00:39:45Why did you lie to me?
00:39:56Let go of me!
00:39:58How long have you had your hearing back, and when did you get your hearing back?
00:40:01Ariel, why did you lie to me?
00:40:07The day you wanted me dead.
00:40:12What are you talking about? What are you talking about?
00:40:14The day my hearing came back was the day you wanted me dead.
00:40:17When did I want you dead?
00:40:19God, you really don't remember? The day I got kidnapped?
00:40:22God, you really don't remember? The day I got kidnapped?
00:40:25The first thing I heard when I got my hearing back was you saying,
00:40:29call me back when she's a corpse.
00:40:33Oh, my God.
00:40:35The phone call.
00:40:37It wasn't... It wasn't just a spam call.
00:40:41Why didn't you tell me that you were kidnapped?
00:40:43Why didn't you tell me that you were in danger?
00:40:45Have you always been like this? Blaming everybody but yourself?
00:40:49Did you even care that I was in danger? Do you even see me as your wife?
00:40:52Because every day that I spend with you, I am trapped in a life that I did not choose.
00:40:57How was I supposed to know that the way I'm treating you is causing you so much pain?
00:41:01Please just let me go.
00:41:03I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:08Please just let me go.
00:41:10I'm just a replacement for my sister. Remember?
00:41:14You really think that of me?
00:41:16Because I wasn't blind or heartless before, Marcus.
00:41:19I could still feel things, I just couldn't hear.
00:41:27Ariel, please.
00:41:28Don't.
00:41:30Don't touch me.
00:41:33Ariel!
00:41:47So, she can actually hear now.
00:41:51This is getting interesting.
00:42:16Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:36I've heard you can hear again, shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:42Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:45I've heard you can hear again. Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:48What the hell do you want?
00:42:49I thought you'd want to hear someone's voice.
00:42:52Come on, sweetie. Say hello to your dear brother.
00:42:55Johnny? No, please don't hurt him.
00:42:58Oh, well, I can't guarantee that. It depends on my mood.
00:43:02Look, if you do anything you want, just don't hurt him.
00:43:06What a deep love. That's touching, but you ruined my plan last time, remember?
00:43:12I swear to God, if you touch a hair on his head, I will make you pay.
00:43:16I'm not going to kill him, but as a punishment for your escape,
00:43:20I'm going to leave him in the mountains. I hope he's lucky enough to survive.
00:43:30Adrian, Amanda, the reality is we only have about eight weeks left of this campaign,
00:43:36so we need to lock in. Our goal is to get ahold of Sacramento,
00:43:40L.A., San Diego, all the official sprints.
00:43:47Johnny? Johnny? Johnny? Johnny? Johnny, it's going to be okay. I'm here now. I'm here. It's
00:43:53okay. It's me. It's Ariel. I'm here. It's okay. It's okay. I'm here. I'm here. It's going to be
00:43:59okay. It's okay. Congressman Flick, we found a woman in the unconscious now.
00:44:06Congressman Marcus? Marcus? Marcus, it's Johnny. There's something wrong, and I don't know what to
00:44:11do. I got you, okay? Don't panic. I'm going to take care of him. We need to get him to the
00:44:15hospital immediately. We're going to take a helicopter. Okay. Listen to me, okay? He's
00:44:26going to go to the hospital. We're going to take care of him immediately, but you're hurt too. You
00:44:29need treatment. Congressman Flick, can I ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:37She's my... She's my wife.
00:44:44Can I ask your relationship with this lady and the victim? She's my... She's...
00:44:54She's my wife, and the victim's my brother.
00:44:58This is your wife? Yes, and we need to get her to the hospital immediately. She's in shock.
00:45:05We'll talk about this later.
00:45:07Doctor, how's my brother? The patient's stable. He's just a little shaken up, but he'll be fine. He's just in stress.
00:45:30We appreciate your care. Thank you, doctor. Mr. Congressman Flick, this will not disturb you.
00:45:37We'll give him the best everything. Don't worry. We'll take good care of your family. Thank you.
00:45:46Marcus, I don't know how... You ruined everything again!
00:45:54You ruined everything again! Your son's in a coma, and your daughter's injured,
00:45:59and you're just going to come over here as our pointing fingers in a hospital? Marcus,
00:46:02it's all over the news. Ariel went and rescued Johnny today. If people find out she's in a
00:46:07relationship with you, it could ruin your chances of being governor. That's not the point, okay?
00:46:12Family... Family comes first. Don't misunderstand me. I care for Johnny, but he's out of danger now,
00:46:18and it's just a matter of time before he recovers. But you... You're in the middle of an election.
00:46:24One mistake can cost us everything. You care about election results, but I think you only care about
00:46:29your own profits, don't you? I'm telling you right now, you're going to treat my wife with respect,
00:46:34or you're going to have to leave. Now leave.
00:46:43Don't take it personally. How could I not? She's done this my whole life,
00:46:46regardless of if I could hear or not. That's... That's the family I grew up with.
00:46:52Listen to me. You, me, Johnny...
00:46:58We're each other's family.
00:47:21Yes? You know, this is the first phone call we've had since you... Since you lost your hearing three years ago?
00:47:37Yeah. First call. Yeah. Wait, is this the first... Did you call in another line?
00:47:47No. No, that's not what I meant. How did you know Johnny was in danger today?
00:47:53Well, I asked the caretakers to inform me if anything ever happened to him, so...
00:47:57Why? Why would you do that? Well, because I promised you, Ariel.
00:48:03I promised that I was going to protect Johnny. Marcus, I...
00:48:06How exciting. Thank you. Dang it, Johnny, I was just... I'm so scared.
00:48:11I can't imagine what I would do if anything happened to him.
00:48:14He's my only family left.
00:48:18Open the door.
00:48:24Open the door.
00:48:48Wait, wait.
00:48:52You know, I would have gone crazy if anything happened to you today.
00:48:56Thank you, Marcus, for everything.
00:49:02Come to the office tomorrow. I've got something to share with you.
00:49:07Hi.
00:49:09I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:11Why?
00:49:15I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:17Why?
00:49:19Because I've been pushing you too much, and you need to follow your dreams.
00:49:27Here.
00:49:29What's this?
00:49:31This is the key.
00:49:34What's this?
00:49:36This is the key to a design studio in downtown.
00:49:38I raised three million in capital just for you.
00:49:40It's all yours.
00:49:42Are you serious?
00:49:44I'm not joking.
00:49:46And I need you to promise me something, okay?
00:49:48Please do not tell your mom or anybody that you can hear now.
00:49:50Probably best so they're not judging us.
00:49:56Okay.
00:49:58I have something for you, too.
00:50:01What is this?
00:50:03For the past three years, I have been documenting some of your looks.
00:50:05It's just some ideas, designs, and things.
00:50:07It's just some ideas, designs, and things.
00:50:09It's just some ideas, designs, and things.
00:50:11It's just some ideas, designs, and things.
00:50:13It's perfect.
00:50:15It's perfect.
00:50:17Come here.
00:50:20Come here.
00:50:30Come in.
00:50:34Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:42Come in.
00:50:46Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:49Come in.
00:50:55Well, your governor's campaign has hit a critical phase,
00:50:57Well, your governor's campaign has hit a critical phase,
00:50:59but your support is slipping.
00:51:01And meanwhile, Stephen Hopkins, his approval ratings are climbing.
00:51:03And meanwhile, Stephen Hopkins, his approval ratings are climbing.
00:51:09I have it under control.
00:51:11Under control?
00:51:13I don't see any progress in that.
00:51:15You are too distracted.
00:51:18Father, I'll handle my campaign.
00:51:20Ariel is not the problem.
00:51:22Hopkins' wife is actively involved in women's foundations and charity events,

00:51:28boosting his appeal.
00:51:30If you want to gain ground, Marcus,
00:51:32you need to present the image of a flawless family.
00:51:44Dress like Claire and join Marcus at campaign events?
00:51:48You won't do it?
00:52:04Father Ariel?
00:52:06She is herself.
00:52:08She's not imitating her sister.
00:52:10She's not going to pretend to be anyone else in order to win political votes.
00:52:12You ungrateful son of a bitch!
00:52:14You ungrateful son of a bitch!
00:52:17We gave you everything,
00:52:19resources, training,
00:52:21this position,
00:52:23and this?
00:52:25This is how you're going to disobey us?
00:52:27This is my wife, okay?
00:52:29Insulting her is disrespecting me.
00:52:31Respect?
00:52:33You,
00:52:35you are nothing without the flick name.
00:52:37Nothing!
00:52:41You,
00:52:43you are nothing
00:52:46Everything that you have here
00:52:48is us!
00:52:50None of your merit!
00:52:52And I am thankful for what you did for me,
00:52:54but I'm not going to use the people I love
00:52:56to win political games.
00:52:58That is my boundary.
00:53:00A true politician has no soft spots, Marcus.
00:53:02Well, if being a successful politician
00:53:04means using the people I love,
00:53:06then I'll give it all up.
00:53:08How can you say that, Marcus?
00:53:10This is ridiculous!
00:53:13If we'd have known,
00:53:15we never would have picked you up
00:53:17at the orphanage.
00:53:19Ever!
00:53:21Marcus is adopted.
00:53:23Let's go.
00:53:25Well, I'm sorry
00:53:27I wasn't the perfect son!
00:53:37Marcus,
00:53:39he's carried more than I ever realized.
00:53:42Congressman Marcus Flick
00:53:44to deliver inspiring election pep talk
00:53:46in Southern California.
00:54:00Here, for your campaign tomorrow.
00:54:02I already signed it.
00:54:06But the campaign just started
00:54:08and now you want a divorce?
00:54:11You see, somebody called me
00:54:13and they told me
00:54:15that if you love someone,
00:54:17you do not trap them in a political marriage.
00:54:21Ariel, I thought I was protecting you.
00:54:23But I was just helping myself.
00:54:27I was preventing you from what you wanted
00:54:29because I thought it was going to hurt you.
00:54:31But I was being a hypocrite.
00:54:35And I'm sorry.
00:54:38This?
00:54:40At least one of us gets to be free.
00:54:46But I was being a hypocrite.
00:54:48And I'm sorry.
00:54:52Now,
00:54:54at least one of us gets to be free.
00:55:07Mm-hmm.

00:56:15do you know what a mistake you've made?
00:56:17You know, I don't know what I did tonight,
00:56:19but feel free to punish me.
00:56:21What are you saying? Aren't you afraid of being overheard?
00:56:23Ariel,
00:56:25can I talk dirty to my wife?
00:56:27Stop being slick.
00:56:29I, um,
00:56:31I made you a coat
00:56:33for the rally tomorrow. Hope you like it.
00:56:35Wait, a trench coat? Isn't that too flashy?
00:56:37No, the suit cliche thing is so over.
00:56:39People crave more personality these days.
00:56:41I'll do whatever you say, ma'am.
00:56:43Okay, well,
00:56:45I will bring you the coat.
00:56:47I'll see you.
00:56:49And, uh,
00:56:51I miss you.
00:56:53Okay, well, that's enough out of you.
00:56:55But...
00:56:57Fine, I miss you, too.
00:57:23Sir,
00:57:25a package arrived for you.
00:57:29Oh, my God.
00:57:31This is Ariel's coat.
00:57:33Where is she?
00:57:35No word yet. She's not answering calls.
00:57:37Well, you need to check the studio right now, okay?
00:57:39I'm on it, Congressman.
00:57:41Your supporters are waiting for you.
00:57:43You need to get on stage now.
00:57:45No, they can wait. I'm gonna go check on Ariel right now, okay?
00:57:47What are you doing?
00:57:49Look, time is gold.
00:57:51You don't want to let your sponsors down, do you?
00:57:55Tom, you're gonna go check on her right now.
00:57:57Tell me if anything changes.
00:57:59Thanks for having me, everybody.
00:58:01Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:58:03Uh, I think, as dark as it is,
00:58:05we're gonna have a great night, everybody.
00:58:11Oh, my God.
00:58:13There's water everywhere.
00:58:15There's water everywhere. Oh, my God, help!
00:58:21Oh, my God.
00:58:23There's water everywhere.
00:58:25There's water everywhere. Oh, my God, help!
00:58:27Somebody help me!
00:58:29Help, please!
00:58:35Johnny?
00:58:39Johnny?
00:58:41Johnny, wake up. That's not funny.
00:58:43Johnny, wake up. Oh, my God.
00:58:45Johnny, look at you.
00:58:47This is all your fault.
00:58:49You're nothing but a curse.
00:58:51Oh, my God, is he breathing?
00:58:53Johnny, can you hear me?
00:58:55This is all my fault.
00:58:57Oh, my God.
00:58:59Johnny, I need you.
00:59:01Help!
00:59:13Turn it on.
00:59:21What do you want with me?
00:59:25You'll find out soon enough.
00:59:27Thanks for having me, everybody.
00:59:29Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:59:37Oh, how sweet.
00:59:39You think the congressman knows
00:59:41his wife is just a breath away from death?
00:59:45You want to give him a present?
00:59:49Paula, no.
00:59:51No.
00:59:55Oh, you want me to do it? Fine.
00:59:59You're welcome.
01:00:01No, Marcus, don't answer.
01:00:05My goal is to increase economic growth
01:00:07by 20% all while tackling homelessness
01:00:09and reducing crime.
01:00:13Sir.
01:00:21Marcus, I'm so sorry.
01:00:23I love you. I lied to you.
01:00:25No, Ariel. Ariel, where are you?
01:00:27I lied to you about the phone calls.
01:00:29I thought I could protect you.
01:00:31But now I think that maybe
01:00:33if I'd just been honest with you all along,
01:00:35none of this would have ever happened.
01:00:37Ariel, please stay on the phone, okay?
01:00:39Just tell me where you...
01:00:41Come alone, no cops, or she dies.
01:00:47I gotta go.
01:00:49You can't just leave now.
01:00:53I gotta go.
01:01:03Well, that's so sweet.
01:01:05He's actually abandoning his campaign
01:01:07to save you.
01:01:09No, you can have all my money.
01:01:11Just don't make Marcus come here.
01:01:13Shut up.
01:01:15This isn't about money.
01:01:17This is about me and Marcus.
01:01:19You're just the paper.
01:01:21Wait a minute.
01:01:23Your voice.
01:01:25I know your voice.
01:01:27You haven't figured it out by now?
01:01:29It doesn't matter.
01:01:31You'll be dead soon anyway.
01:01:39Ariel!
01:01:43Oh, God.
01:01:47Hi.
01:01:49Hi.
01:01:51Hi.
01:01:53Ariel!
01:01:57Ariel!
01:02:01Ariel, I'm coming!
01:02:07Please.
01:02:09Ariel!
01:02:11Please.
01:02:17Please pick up.
01:02:19Please pick up.
01:02:21Oh, God.
01:02:29Ariel!
01:02:41Ariel!
01:02:47Ariel!
01:02:49Oh, my God.
01:02:51Ariel!
01:02:53It's okay.
01:02:55I'm gonna get you home.
01:03:03Marcus, behind you!
01:03:11It's you?
01:03:13It's you?
01:03:15It's you?
01:03:29It's you?
01:03:31It's you?
01:03:37But we were friends.
01:03:39You approached me?
01:03:41You approached me?
01:03:43After years of digging and searching,
01:03:45I uncovered the real secrets
01:03:47about your perfect marriage.
01:03:49Yeah, I kidnapped you once you got away.
01:03:51You stole my phone, too,
01:03:53so I had to get closer.
01:03:55I joined your campaign team.
01:03:57Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't
01:03:59track the threatening calls you were getting?
01:04:01That's because your culprit
01:04:03was right there on your IT team.
01:04:05How blind can you be?
01:04:09This is all because you're trying
01:04:11to sabotage my campaign?
01:04:13It's not even worth it!
01:04:15Look at my face!
01:04:17Do you even recognize me?
01:04:19Do you know who I am?
01:04:21Of course you don't.
01:04:23Let me remind you.
01:04:25Fifteen years ago,
01:04:27the oracle told me
01:04:29that I was the only one
01:04:31who could be trusted.
01:04:33I was the only one.
01:04:35I was the only one.
01:04:37Fifteen years ago,
01:04:39the orphanage, your best...
01:04:41friend.
01:04:47No.
01:04:51No, it can't be.
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:55Yeah, Marcus, it is.
01:04:57No.
01:04:59No, it can't be.
01:05:01Yeah.
01:05:03Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:05:05Hey, where's my money, huh?
01:05:07I don't have it.
01:05:09Where's my cash?
01:05:11I don't have anything.
01:05:13Hey, leave him alone!
01:05:15Leave him alone!
01:05:17You okay?
01:05:19What happened?
01:05:21I don't know.
01:05:23I don't know.
01:05:25What happened?
01:05:27He called me a fat pig.
01:05:29Ignore them.
01:05:31They're just jerks.
01:05:33Thanks, Marcus. Can I hang out with you?
01:05:35Of course.
01:05:37We're friends now.
01:05:39Sean,
01:05:41what happened to you? You've changed.
01:05:43You recognize me now?
01:05:45Noble congressman,
01:05:47or should I say you're an orphan nobody wanted?
01:05:49You keep that a secret
01:05:51from your voters, too?
01:05:53Why do you hate me? We were friends.
01:05:55Why do you hate me? Why are you targeting Ariel?
01:05:57Friends?
01:05:59You stole everything from me, Marcus.
01:06:01That stage you parade around on.
01:06:03This life of power
01:06:05and respect belonged to me,
01:06:07not to you.
01:06:11And at first, I'd let it go.
01:06:13I wanted to let it go.
01:06:15But every time I turned on the TV,
01:06:17I saw you parading around this perfect life,
01:06:19and it wasn't fair.
01:06:21Because, Marcus... Shut up!
01:06:23The flicks chosen me.
01:06:25But on adoption day, yeah,
01:06:27you remember, I got sick
01:06:29from the cake you gave me.
01:06:31I was at the hospital with food poisoning,
01:06:33so they took you instead.
01:06:35Sean, I went back to the orphanage.
01:06:37I spoke to the dean, and he said
01:06:39that you were adopted by a loving family,
01:06:41that you were happy. Happy?
01:06:43I was adopted
01:06:45into a nightmare.
01:06:47A couple that divorced
01:06:49What about that is happy?
01:06:53Sean, I'm sorry for what you went through,
01:06:55but revenge is not the way.
01:06:57We gotta figure this out together.
01:06:59Figure it out? What are we gonna figure out, Marcus?
01:07:01I spent years suffering
01:07:03watching you live my life.
01:07:05We are never figuring it out.
01:07:11Hold on!
01:07:13Sean, I'm not gonna let you fall any further.
01:07:15Come on.
01:07:17Sean.
01:07:19Sean, we don't have to hate each other.
01:07:21Okay, just let it go.
01:07:23I will go to the police.
01:07:25I will explain everything.
01:07:27You don't have to worry about it.
01:07:29Just please,
01:07:31please don't let the hatred consume you.
01:07:35You were always a saint, Marcus.
01:07:37Marcus, look out!
01:07:39Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
01:07:41Are you okay?
01:07:43Perfect.
01:07:45You get to die
01:07:47in front of the one you love the most.
01:07:49My revenge is complete.
01:07:51Okay.
01:07:53Daniel, don't! You don't need to...
01:07:59It's okay.
01:08:01You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:08:03It's gonna be okay. I'm fine.
01:08:05I'm fine.
01:08:07Daniel, you don't need to...
01:08:13It's okay.
01:08:15You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:08:17It's gonna be okay. I'm fine.
01:08:19I need you to apply pressure.
01:08:21I need you to stay with me, okay?
01:08:25I love you, and I need you to hang in there, okay?
01:08:27I love you.
01:08:29Don't say that right now.
01:08:31Please just hold that for later.
01:08:33We're gonna say that later, okay?
01:08:35We're gonna say that later, okay?
01:08:37We're gonna get out of here. Do you trust me?
01:08:39I trust you.
01:08:41Then, Juan,
01:08:43come to the lake.
01:08:45Now. Marcus, look, he's dying.
01:08:55Ariel?
01:08:59Claire?
01:09:01Why are you here?
01:09:03I...
01:09:05I've been living abroad.
01:09:07Marcus and I have been talking,
01:09:09keeping in touch over the last couple years,
01:09:11and his assistant told me that he was hospitalized.
01:09:13I'm so sorry.
01:09:15I didn't realize you and Marcus still talked.
01:09:17I thought, um...
01:09:19You don't know that...
01:09:21why he married you instead of me?
01:09:23Claire.
01:09:25If you're trying to convince me to stay, don't bother.
01:09:27Claire, I admire your courage
01:09:29to lead the life you want.
01:09:31I don't want to be a pawn
01:09:33for the family's games anymore.
01:09:35I want to be free.
01:09:37I know.
01:09:39I'm not gonna hold you back anymore.
01:09:41But you gotta do one thing for me.
01:09:43Can you please tell your parents?
01:09:45Can you please tell them to let Ariel go?
01:09:47I can't.
01:09:49I can't.
01:09:51Can you please tell them to let Ariel marry me?
01:09:55Marcus chose me?
01:09:59Marcus chose me?
01:10:01He knew that Simone would marry you off
01:10:03for money if he couldn't.
01:10:05He married you to protect you.
01:10:07And if he acted indifferent,
01:10:09it's only because he didn't want you
01:10:11to get too attached.
01:10:13Why didn't he just say that?
01:10:15You know Marcus.
01:10:17He can't admit his feelings very easily.
01:10:19But his love, it's...
01:10:23It's deeper than anyone's.
01:10:27So...
01:10:29He doesn't know that I've been in love with him
01:10:31since we were children?
01:10:33It's always been you,
01:10:35Ariel.
01:10:37Ever since we were children, it's only ever been you.
01:10:41He's always loved you.
01:10:49Marcus, you really are
01:10:51the dumbest asshole in the world.
01:10:53You know that, right?
01:10:55Why didn't you tell me
01:10:57you married me to protect me?
01:10:59Why were you so cold?
01:11:01Why did you...
01:11:05Why did you pretend you hated me?
01:11:07Because none of it worked.
01:11:11I still love you.
01:11:15Of course I still love you.
01:11:17Of course I still love you.
01:11:19I need you.
01:11:21You can't leave me, okay?
01:11:27Take this ring.
01:11:31Take it.
01:11:33And put it on my finger again.
01:11:35I just...
01:11:39I need to hear you say
01:11:41that you love me.
01:11:43Marcus.
01:11:47Ah.
01:11:55Ah.
01:11:59Marcus.
01:12:01You're awake.
01:12:03Ah.
01:12:11This...
01:12:13This ring wasn't left behind
01:12:15by your sister.
01:12:17It was made custom for you.
01:12:21It's unique just like you.
01:12:25It just wasn't the right time to give it to you before
01:12:27because you were mad
01:12:29and I'm sorry.
01:12:33Marcus,
01:12:35are you always this overdramatic?
01:12:37Yes.
01:12:39And it's because I think you're the only one who can handle me.
01:12:45Ah.
01:12:55Miss
01:12:57Ariel Rochester.
01:13:01Will you still...
01:13:05Will you still marry me?
01:13:07Yes.
01:13:09I will.
01:13:15Ah.
01:13:23Come here.
01:13:35Stop it. Stop.
01:13:37I'm not kidding.
01:13:39Don't be so naughty, Governor.
01:13:41I like it when you're naughty.
01:13:59I want to take a moment to thank
01:14:01my parents
01:14:03and my campaign team
01:14:05and all my friends out there
01:14:07who've carried me through every challenge.
01:14:09But above all,
01:14:11I want to thank my wife.
01:14:15Ariel Rochester.
01:14:17With strength,
01:14:19courage, and love,
01:14:21I wouldn't be alive without today.
01:14:25This woman is not only my wife,
01:14:27she is the dream
01:14:29that carried me through my childhood
01:14:31and she's the light that pierces my darkest days.
01:14:35Ariel,
01:14:37I love you. Can you hear that?
01:14:39Yes, I can.
01:14:41That includes me.
