Short filmTranscript
00:00:00Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist?
00:00:08Who do they think are going to be wearing these haute couture designer pieces today?
00:00:18And he's Mr. Congressman Marcus Flakes, he's so handsome.
00:00:40Congressman 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.
00:00:52My friend Tommy said he adores his wife so much, he never brings her to any public events to protect her from the media.
00:01:00Has anyone ever actually seen his wife?
00:01:17I'm just saying, I don't know.
00:01:47Okay?
00:01:52Go home.
00:02:00We're married, but I'm just a pawn in his quest for power.
00:02:04In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:33I can hear.
00:02:51How can I?
00:02:53How can I hear?
00:02:55No security for a politician's wife.
00:03:00Feeling you was almost too easy.
00:03:03I'm kidnapped?
00:03:04Call your husband.
00:03:06Now!
00:03:09That's right.
00:03:10You're deaf.
00:03:15Go home.
00:03:23Marcus?
00:03:24Marcus, please pick up the phone.
00:03:27Of course.
00:03:28Of course, absolutely.
00:03:39Hello?
00:03:42Hello?
00:03:43I have your wife.
00:03:44You're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her.
00:03:55Congressman Marcus.
00:03:56I truly cannot believe that you don't care about your wife's life.
00:04:00And I'm telling you, I get three or four of these scams a week, so why don't you go kick rocks?
00:04:04I'll tell you one more time.
00:04:06She's my hostage.
00:04:08Well, then call me when she's a corpse.
00:04:12That man is fucked.
00:04:15Heartless politician.
00:04:17You know, if he doesn't care about whether or not you die, I guess it's my choice.
00:04:22And believe me, you're beautiful.
00:04:25It's a shame you're not going to know what you're dying for.
00:04:30Marcus, you know I'm not going to kill you.
00:04:33I'm not going to kill you.
00:04:35I'm not going to kill you.
00:04:37I'm not going to kill you.
00:04:39I'm not going to kill you.
00:04:42Fuck.
00:04:43Marcus, you motherfucker.
00:04:58Tom?
00:05:01Tom, I keep getting scam calls to my phone.
00:05:03I need you to check out the origin of the number.
00:05:05I've already checked this number a hundred times.
00:05:07I understand, but we need to make sure that my wife is safe.
00:05:09Copy that.
00:05:10Also, if you could just let Mr. Versace know I'll be right with him.
00:05:29What are you doing?
00:05:31What are you doing?
00:05:40No.
00:05:41Alcohol.
00:05:45Are you kidding me?
00:05:46Give me that.
00:05:54What is with the attitude?
00:06:02Hello?
00:06:03Mr. Flick, the call had an antispirant measure and it was too brief to trace.
00:06:07They also used a voice changer, so voice analyst is out.
00:06:12These people have no idea who they're dealing with.
00:06:15They really think that my wife is my weakness.
00:06:18Ridiculous.
00:06:19Marcus, I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you wanted me dead.
00:06:26Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel.
00:06:29And absolutely under no circumstances should she find out.
00:06:32Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work.
00:06:34Understood?
00:06:49I've rigged this phone against tracking.
00:06:51Your husband can't trace it.
00:06:54Marcus, marrying you three years ago for my sister was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:06:59Now that I have my hearing back, I'm going to make sure everything gets back on track.
00:07:13Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding.
00:07:15Take the dress off.
00:07:17Really?
00:07:19This is what you want, to be the wife of a politician?
00:07:22It's just like the dress, it's not even yours.
00:07:25Do I have a choice?
00:07:26Let's get things straight.
00:07:27I need to marry Rochester in order to secure my run for the house.
00:07:30Your sister runs off, so now you get to be the replacement.
00:07:38So, I'm really just a replacement to you?
00:07:54Yeah.
00:07:56Yeah, you are.
00:08:00Okay, let's establish a couple ground rules.
00:08:03One, I'm technically going to be married to Claire, so we have to conceal your identity.
00:08:08Two, you're not making any public appearances.
00:08:10And three, during our marriage, there are no children whatsoever.
00:08:16Okay?
00:08:17Are you listening?
00:08:18Why are you doing this to me?
00:08:20Why are you doing this to me?
00:08:24Because people like us are not afforded the choice.
00:08:37Ariel.
00:08:39Ariel, are you okay?
00:08:42Ariel?
00:08:50Ariel?
00:09:00Has Ariel recovered any of her hearing since that sudden deafness at the wedding?
00:09:05It's not so bad being deaf, Mrs. Flick.
00:09:07It spares Ariel from hearing anything that might damage Marcus' campaign for governor.
00:09:12Exactly.
00:09:13And when Marcus becomes governor, we might consider cosmetic surgery for Ariel.
00:09:19Make her look more like her sister.
00:09:21I'm sure the public will sympathize with Marcus that he has not abandoned his disabled wife.
00:09:27You're so wise, Mr. Flick. That's a brilliant strategy.
00:09:31You all seem more concerned about politics than the well-being of my wife.
00:09:35You really think it's appropriate gloating over her condition?
00:09:38I was just considering your career.
00:09:41While 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.
00:09:47I'm not going to allow it.
00:09:49Why is he defending me now?
00:09:51On that note, we're going to be taking our leave.
00:10:14Stop!
00:10:18I'm visiting wildfire victims tomorrow, and I need your help picking an outfit.
00:10:25Remember, nothing too high profile.
00:10:39Not bad.
00:10:44Marcus.
00:10:48It's a good thing you couldn't hear what my parents said about you.
00:10:56I want to thank you all for making the time to be here today. I think that's a big deal.
00:11:03I think it's important to just acknowledge that in spite of recent events...
00:11:10Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:11:34Our state goes public.
00:11:37Our state goes through a lot of disasters. Mudslides, we deal with droughts, we deal with wildfires.
00:11:43In my understanding, over the last 40 years, a lot of things have built up to this moment.
00:11:49A lot of things that are perceived to bring us to...
00:11:57Just one moment, guys.
00:12:02Who is this?
00:12:03Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:12:08I don't think you've done your homework.
00:12:10My wife's name is Claire.
00:12:12No, Claire's the older sister.
00:12:14When she ran away three years ago, you married Ariel to save your political career.
00:12:18What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:12:23What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:12:32What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:12:36Swapping wives between two sisters?
00:12:38I didn't want my wife's name to be Ariel.
00:12:42Tell me who the hell this is.
00:12:43It doesn't matter who I am. Divorce your wife, and...
00:12:46Your secrets disappear with me.
00:12:47I mean, after all, she's just a substitute, and you hate her, so it shouldn't really be a problem.
00:12:52There's no chance I'm divorcing Ariel. There's nothing to think about it.
00:12:57I'll give you a month, or...
00:12:58I'll kill her.
00:13:04Kill her.
00:13:07It must be because Marcus is running for governor, so now he doesn't want to divorce me.
00:13:13Now I need a new plan.
00:13:23I'm sorry.
00:13:34Mr. Flick, you're about to be on camera, and the press will definitely make a big deal of that wound.
00:13:40Tom, I want you to get me the best computer engineers in the world.
00:13:42We're gonna nail the bastards threatening Ariel.
00:13:46Copy that, sir.
00:13:47Ariel, I need you to make it a top priority that we find a fashion consultant.
00:13:52I want some fashion editor. I want someone who understands political messaging.
00:14:00Hi, Johnny.
00:14:11There are some things that can only be appreciated once they're gone, you know?
00:14:15I mean, I've lived the past three years of my life in a silent hell, and now...
00:14:20Life has given me a second chance to hear again.
00:14:24This time...
00:14:27I'm gonna live for myself.
00:14:38This time...
00:14:40I'm gonna live for myself.
00:14:43Johnny, you're my guardian angel, you know that, right?
00:14:47I mean, I know that when Mom married into the Rochester family, they wouldn't accept you because of your...
00:14:54Differences, but...
00:14:56I need you to know that I would never give up on you.
00:15:00Ever.
00:15:03Okay?
00:15:12Okay.
00:15:42Dr. Park, is it possible to regain hearing in a case like my wife's?
00:15:46Is it treatable with surgery?
00:15:48Her sudden deafness was triggered by a severe shock.
00:15:51We can attempt surgery, but I must be honest, the chances of success are very slim.
00:15:58If it works, it would be absolutely close to a miracle.
00:16:02It's just something that doesn't happen very often. I'm so sorry.
00:16:07I know it's not the news you wanted to hear.
00:16:12We're doing everything we can, okay?
00:16:14Okay.
00:16:16There we go.
00:16:23Learn to please your husband and have a baby ASAP.
00:16:42Okay.
00:17:09Tom.
00:17:10The manager sent me a few photos. I need you to trace them.
00:17:13Yes, sir. Keep them on the line for more than five minutes for better tracking.
00:17:28Did you see that?
00:17:30It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:17:33She's cheating on you.
00:17:35My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:17:40Why? You don't think she's attractive enough?
00:17:42No, I think she's quite attractive, actually.
00:17:45I just know her.
00:17:47And she wouldn't betray her promises.
00:17:49You know, those photos you sent, the faces are unrecognizable.
00:17:53How are you so confident that they're my wife?
00:17:55Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife?
00:17:57I don't know her.
00:17:59I don't know her.
00:18:01I don't know her.
00:18:03I don't know her.
00:18:05I don't know her.
00:18:07I don't know her.
00:18:08How well do you know your wife?
00:18:10Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife so well?
00:18:12Sarah has a birthmark on her chest.
00:18:14Surely you're familiar with it.
00:18:16How do you know about the birthmark?
00:18:18Who are you?
00:18:20It doesn't matter who I am.
00:18:22Here are my demands. Divorce your wife, or this provocative photo goes public.
00:18:24I'll claim that the perfect congressman…
00:18:26He can't satisfy his wife.
00:18:28Leaving her to find happiness elsewhere.
00:18:30What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:18:38You
00:18:44What do you gain if I divorce my wife
00:18:47Damn, I hadn't thought of that. I hate her. I can't stand seeing her live such a privileged life
00:18:53Well, I'm not gonna indulge your twisted desires. She's my wife and I'm gonna protect her
00:18:57Don't act like you really love her. You're just worried that a divorce would hurt your political image
00:19:03You think you know so well if you love someone you don't trap them in a political sham marriage you hypocrite
00:19:10Hello hello, this man is too complicated to understand
00:19:22No, sir, we've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software, you know, it's only been traced in a general area
00:19:29Okay, go ahead your phone's location isn't within a five-mile radius which includes your house sir
00:19:48Ariel she's in danger
00:19:58I
00:20:28Don't
00:20:45Okay, I'll touch you
00:20:58You
00:21:11We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image-making and
00:21:17Understands how each garment can tell a compelling story
00:21:29Mom
00:21:31That's my work instead of focusing on this garbage
00:21:34Why don't you learn how to dress nicely so you can catch a good man like your sister did mom?
00:21:40Clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men. I can't believe you just said that
00:21:44Ariel you're going to stop chasing these fanciful dreams. Do you remember where you came from?
00:21:50Without my marriage into the Rochester family. You wouldn't even have the money to attend a private school and focus on this nonsense
00:21:58If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me
00:22:01Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband
00:22:05Just like I did
00:22:22Well, the worst I could say is now
00:22:27As
00:22:32Long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer. I'm ready to work for anyone. I
00:22:39Can't let anybody especially him find out I can hear again. I have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly
00:22:47Maybe using text-to-speech is the best
00:22:57You
00:23:08My name is Ariel Anderson, I graduated from school of visual art with a degree in fashion design
00:23:13I lost my hearing to an accident two years ago
00:23:16Unfortunately a hearing aid won't really help
00:23:18Therefore I'd appreciate if you could use pen and paper for communication. I assure you I can keep up
00:23:23I'm concerned that our hearing might affect your performance
00:23:26Recruiting a disabled woman will make our campaign team look more diverse and socially responsible
00:23:32The board is within better of us. I hear both of your concerns. However, but the reality is we only need a wardrobe consultant. That's
00:23:39qualified
00:23:41The congressman needs to attend an unscheduled event, please adjust the suit accordingly
00:23:52You
00:24:01Please adjust the suit accordingly
00:24:17Is she modifying and just by eye
00:24:22You
00:24:31Congressman flake may ask you to try it on
00:24:33You
00:24:47Five feet nine inches tall
00:24:49165 pounds chest thirty three point six inches waist thirty two point nine inches hips thirty five point seven inches
00:24:55These are the congressman's measurements and I'm confident that they're accurate. That's entirely correct
00:25:01True but I need a wardrobe consultant not a tailor
00:25:17But I need a wardrobe consultant not a tailor sorry congressman I can't hear
00:25:25I
00:25:28Want you to take a look at these photos tell us five things that you see wrong with them
00:25:49She is incredible
00:25:51I
00:26:11Was supposed to be divorcing him but now I guess I'm working with them
00:26:15I
00:26:21I'm Daniel Campbell
00:26:24It's good to meet you. I'm so happy to have you on the team
00:26:28You're great
00:26:30Would you like to get a coffee?
00:26:33Sure. Yeah
00:26:35You
00:26:51Who is that guy can we fire that guy
00:26:54That's inappropriate. We can't fire people for no good reason
00:26:57That'll go against our team's reputation also not to mention the upcoming campaign. Well, then keep a close eye on it
00:27:04It's not part of my job
00:27:08So what happened here
00:27:17Accident
00:27:24Why don't you get on cochlear implants cochlear implants for your ear to
00:27:31Robotic
00:27:33Interesting the
00:27:36Silence
00:27:38Helps
00:27:40You need work
00:27:42cool
00:27:50Yeah, we're Campbell it's my lunch break mr. Flick, right
00:27:55Well, then I think my new wardrobe consultant needs to check on her duties
00:28:01You
00:28:03You
00:28:28Ring
00:28:34You didn't you insist that we hide the fact that we're married so why would I bother wearing a ring
00:28:42Someone hitting on you
00:28:46Maybe you haven't noticed but I'm a human too. I have a life
00:28:55Oh my god, we got you in the photo
00:28:58Ah fucking asshole Ariel, I'm sorry. I'm sorry
00:29:21What
00:29:29Don't forget I'm still paying your brother's medical bills
00:29:44Marcus I cannot believe you threatened me with my own brother. What happened to you? What happened to us?
00:29:52The
00:29:57More successful he becomes the more he feels like a stranger. He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16
00:30:17Don't worry just hold on tight and I'll always protect you
00:30:22Marcus
00:30:23How come you're always free to visit Johnny with me?
00:30:28Well, your brother's my brother when I get older I'm gonna protect you, okay
00:30:36Problems
00:30:52You
00:31:10Stay
00:31:15Congressman flake
00:31:18Forgive me for asking but why have I never been introduced to your wife your competitors bring their spouses to events like this and they
00:31:25Do quite well for themselves, right?
00:31:27But I don't consider my wife to be an accessory. She's her own person and
00:31:32I don't need her chain to me at all times. You are the perfect husband
00:31:48You
00:31:50Again
00:31:52Have you made up your mind are you divorcing your wife or not threats, huh? Go ahead. You're just gonna want to regret this
00:31:58I don't understand you
00:32:00You say you love your wife and you want her to live a life that she chooses and then you turn around you treat her
00:32:05Like a prop you make me sick
00:32:07How did you hear about this?

00:35:36You hate me for being in this marriage, but
00:35:39If you're not with me, how can I protect you?
00:35:42I don't want you to be the perfect wife. You don't need to be the perfect daughter anymore. I

00:39:03Okay, we came a long way to hear your thoughts. Please guys get them out there
00:39:06I'm curious what you plan to do about this drought. We've been struggling these last 18 months
00:39:13That that's a great question
00:39:15Off the noggin. I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been finding their way to Sacramento
00:39:22But they haven't also been falling on a deaf ears
00:39:25Marcus is so handsome, isn't he? He's the pride of California the most stylish well-dressed politician
00:39:33And such a perfect husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her husband
00:39:39These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick. What'd you say?
00:39:52Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you
00:40:01Do you want to check on the horses?
00:40:07They're right over there
00:40:16Come on sweetie
00:40:22I
00:40:26Looks like it's you're having fun. Yeah, we are
00:40:30If you want to pet a horse, I have one over here. You can check out this one's fine
00:40:40Perfect congressman, can I get a shot of you two being the horse? Yeah, if you could feed the horse with her, please
00:40:47This is great perfect
00:40:50Yes, yes
00:41:00What is Marcus thinking bringing her there
00:41:03You
00:41:13What is Marcus thinking bringing her there that's insane but everyone is praising his kindness and sincerity
00:41:20No one is even noticing everyone. The governor's campaign is coming up
00:41:24You need to be careful
00:41:27I
00:41:34Thought I told you to handle your daughter. Thank you
00:41:41Congressman we're moving on to the next activity
00:41:44Okay, I'm gonna want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times, you know, just just in case she needs to help me on the spot
00:41:50Okay
00:41:57You he is a control freak
00:42:17So the likelihood of you guys actually being able to read this is pretty low
00:42:21Oh
00:42:51Are you are you all right? Yeah, I'm all right. Are you hurt?
00:43:03Ariel Ariel, can you hear me?
00:43:07No, I can't hear you Ariel if you can hear me why are you answering my questions I don't understand
00:43:15Ariel
00:43:19Tell me the truth, can you hear me?
00:43:28Why did you lie to me
00:43:30You
00:43:42Let go of me how long have you had your hearing back and when did you get your hearing back Ariel? Why did you lie to me?
00:43:53The day you wanted me dead
00:44:00You
00:44:04What are you talking about the day my hearing came back was the day you wanted me dead when did I want you dead
00:44:10God, you really don't remember the day. I got kidnapped
00:44:13The first thing I heard when I got my hearing back was you saying
00:44:17Call me back when she's a corpse
00:44:23The phone call it wasn't it wasn't just a spam call
00:44:28Oh
00:44:29Why did you tell me that you were kidnapped? Why didn't you tell me that you were in danger?
00:44:33Have you always been like this blaming everybody but yourself?
00:44:37Did you even care that I was in danger?
00:44:39Do you even see me as your wife?
00:44:41Because every day that I spend with you I am trapped in a life that I did not choose
00:44:45How was I supposed to know that the way I'm treating you is causing you so much pain. Please just let me go
00:44:52I'm just a replacement for my sister
00:44:58You
00:45:03Please just let me go
00:45:05I'm just a replacement for my sister
00:45:08Remember, you really think that I mean because I wasn't blind or heartless before Marcus. I could still feel things. I just couldn't hear
00:45:21Yeah, don't don't touch me
00:45:27Ariel
00:45:40So she can actually hear me this is getting interesting
00:45:57I
00:46:27I
00:46:33Hello, mrs. Rochester, I've heard you can hear again. Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:46:49Hello, mrs. Rochester
00:46:51I've heard you can hear again. Shouldn't you be thanking me? What the hell do you want?
00:46:56You'd want to hear someone's voice
00:46:58Come on, sweetie. Say hello to your dear brother, Johnny
00:47:03No, please don't hurt him. Oh, I can't guarantee that it depends on my mood
00:47:09If you anything you want just don't hurt him
00:47:13What a deep love that's touching but you ruined my plan last time remember
00:47:18I swear to God if you touch a hair on his head, I will make you pay. Oh
00:47:23I'm not going to kill him. But as a punishment for your escape, I'm going to leave him in the mountains
00:47:29I hope he's lucky enough to survive
00:47:37Adrian Amanda, the reality is we only have about eight weeks left of this campaign

00:50:29It's all over in the news Ariel went and rescued Johnny today
00:50:32If people find out she's in a relationship with you, it could ruin your chances of being governor. That's not the point
00:50:38Okay family family comes first don't misunderstand me
00:50:42I care for Johnny, but he's out of danger now and it's just a matter of time before he recovers
00:50:47But you you're in the middle of an election one mistake can cost us everything you care about election results
00:50:54But I think you only care about your own profits, don't you? I'm telling you right now. You're gonna treat my wife with respect
00:51:01Where you're gonna have to leave?
00:51:03now leave
00:51:09I'll take it personally. How could I not? She's done this look my whole life regardless of if I could hear or not

00:52:23Um, how did you know Johnny was in danger today?
00:52:27Well, I asked the caretakers to inform me if anything ever happened to him. So why?
00:52:32Why would you do that?
00:52:34Well, because I promised you Ariel
00:52:36Promise that I was gonna protect Johnny
00:52:39Yes, I don't know what to say. I mean, thank you
00:52:43Johnny I'm so scared

00:55:37Congressman mr. And mrs. Flick are here to see you. Okay, go ahead
00:55:47Well
00:55:49Your governor's campaign has hit a critical phase
00:55:52But your support is slipping and meanwhile Stephen Hopkins his approval ratings are climbing
00:55:59I
00:56:02Have it under control under control, I don't see any progress in that
00:56:08You are too distracted father. I'll handle my campaign
00:56:12Ariel is not the problem
00:56:14Hopkins wife is actively involved in women's foundations and charity events
00:56:19Boosting his appeal if you want to gain ground Marcus, you need to present the image of a flawless family
00:56:28You
00:56:35Dress like Claire and join Marcus our campaign events
00:56:51You won't do it
00:56:59You
00:57:06Father Ariel, she is herself. She's not imitating her sister
00:57:10She's not gonna pretend to be anyone else in order to win political votes you
00:57:15Ungrateful son of a bitch. We gave you everything
00:57:19resources training
00:57:21this position and
00:57:23This this is how you're gonna disobey us. This is my wife
00:57:28Okay, insulting her is disrespecting me respect
00:57:33You you are nothing without the flick name nothing
00:57:48You you are nothing
00:57:53Everything that you have here is us none of your merit
00:57:57And I am thankful for what you did for me, but I'm not gonna use the people. I love to win political games
00:58:03That is my boundary a true politician has no soft spots Marcus
00:58:08Well of being a successful politician means using the people I love
00:58:14How can you say that Marcus this is ridiculous
00:58:20If we'd have known we never would have picked you up at the orphanage ever
00:58:26Marcus is adopted
00:58:29Let's go
00:58:32Well, I'm sorry, I wasn't the perfect son
00:58:50Marcus he's carried more than I ever realized
00:58:55congressman Marcus flick to deliver inspiring election pep talk in Southern, California
00:59:12Here for your campaign tomorrow, I already signed it
00:59:19But the campaign just started and now you you want a divorce
00:59:22You see somebody called me and they told me that if you love someone you do not trap them in a political marriage
00:59:32Everyone I thought I was protecting you
00:59:35But I was just helping myself. I was preventing you from what you wanted
00:59:40Because I thought I was gonna hurt you
00:59:42But I was being a hypocrite
00:59:46And I'm sorry
00:59:49This at least one of us gets to be free
01:00:02But I was being a hypocrite and I'm sorry
01:00:07No, at least one of us gets to be free
01:00:18I

01:06:19Ariel, please stay on the phone. Okay, just tell me where you come alone. No cops or she died
01:06:30I gotta go congressman. You're such a slob mission. Why you can't just leave now?

01:08:52Oh, my God.
01:08:54Ariel, Ariel, Ariel, it's okay, it's okay.
01:08:58Ariel, I'm gonna get you home.
01:09:06Marcus, behind you!
01:09:17It's you?
01:09:20It's you?
01:09:24It's you?
01:09:39It's you?
01:09:42It's you?
01:09:47Well, we were friends.
01:09:50You approached me!
01:09:52After years of digging and searching, I uncovered the real secrets about your perfect marriage.
01:09:58Yeah, I kidnapped you once you got away.
01:10:01You stole my phone, too, so I had to get closer.
01:10:04I joined your campaign team.
01:10:06Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't track the threatening calls you were getting?
01:10:11That's because your culprit was right there on your IT team.
01:10:15How blind can you be?
01:10:22Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't track the threatening calls you were getting?
01:10:26That's because your culprit was right there on your IT team.
01:10:30How blind can you be?
01:10:32This is all because you're trying to sabotage my campaign?
01:10:35It's not even worth it!
01:10:37Look at my face!
01:10:39Do you even recognize me?
01:10:41Do you know who I am?
01:10:43Of course you don't.
01:10:45Let me remind you.
01:10:47Do you know who I am?
01:10:49Of course you don't.
01:10:51Let me remind you.
01:10:53Fifteen years ago, the orphanage, your best...
01:10:57friend.
01:11:03No.
01:11:07No, it really can't be.
01:11:09Yeah.
01:11:10Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:11:18No.
01:11:22No, no, it can't be.
01:11:24Yeah.
01:11:25Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:11:27Hey, where's my money, huh?
01:11:29I don't have it.
01:11:30Where's my cash?
01:11:31I don't have anything.
01:11:32Give me my cash, huh?
01:11:33Hey, leave him alone.
01:11:35Leave him alone.
01:11:38You okay?
01:11:39Yeah, I'm fine.
01:11:41I'm fine.
01:11:42I'm fine.
01:11:43I'm fine.
01:11:44I'm fine.
01:11:45I'm fine.
01:11:46You okay?
01:11:47What happened?
01:11:49He called me a fat pig.
01:11:51Ignore them.
01:11:52They're just jerks.
01:11:54Thanks, Marcus.
01:11:56Can I hang out with you?
01:11:57Of course.
01:11:58We're friends now.
01:12:01Sean, what happened to you?
01:12:03You've changed.
01:12:05You recognize me now?
01:12:07Noble congressman, or should I say you're an orphan nobody wanted?
01:12:11You keep that a secret from your voters too?
01:12:14Sean, why do you hate me?
01:12:15We were friends.
01:12:16Why do you hate me?
01:12:17Why are you targeting Ariel?
01:12:18Friends?
01:12:19You stole everything from me, Marcus.
01:12:22That stage you parade around on.
01:12:25This life of power and respect belonged to me, not to you.
01:12:39And at first I'd let it go.
01:12:41I wanted to let it go.
01:12:42But every time I turned on the TV, I saw you parading around this perfect life, and it wasn't fair.
01:12:48The Flicks chose Marcus.
01:12:50Shut up!
01:12:51The Flicks chose me.
01:12:53But on adoption day, yeah, you remember, I got sick from the cake you gave me.
01:12:58I was at the hospital with food poisoning, so they took you instead.
01:13:02Sean, I went back to the orphanage.
01:13:04I spoke to the dean, and he said that you were adopted by a loving family, that you were happy.
01:13:09Happy?
01:13:11I was adopted into a nightmare.
01:13:14A couple that divorced and left me out to rot.
01:13:17What about that is happy?
01:13:21Sean, I'm sorry for what you went through, but revenge is not the way.
01:13:25We've got to figure this out together.
01:13:26Figure it out?
01:13:27What are we going to figure out, Marcus?
01:13:29I spent years suffering, watching you live my life.
01:13:33We are never figuring it out.
01:13:35Sean!
01:13:40Hold on!
01:13:41Sean, I'm not going to let you fall any further.
01:13:53Come on.
01:13:56Sean.
01:13:58Sean, we don't have to hate each other.
01:14:00Okay, just let it go.
01:14:02I will go to the police.
01:14:03I will explain everything.
01:14:04You don't have to worry about it.
01:14:05Just please, please don't let the hatred consume you.
01:14:13You were always a saint, Marcus.
01:14:15Marcus, look out!
01:14:20Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
01:14:21Are you okay?
01:14:22Perfect.
01:14:25You get to die in front of the one you love the most.
01:14:30My revenge is complete.
01:14:32Daniel, no, you don't need to...
01:14:39It's okay.
01:14:40You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:14:41Don't cry.
01:14:42It's going to be okay. I'm fine.
01:14:43Don't go anywhere.
01:14:44I'm fine.
01:14:55Daniel, you don't need to...
01:14:57It's okay.
01:14:58You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:14:59Don't cry.
01:15:00It's going to be okay. I'm fine.
01:15:01Okay.
01:15:02I need you to apply pressure.
01:15:03I need you to stay with me.
01:15:04Okay?
01:15:07I love you, and I need you to hang in there, okay?
01:15:09I love you.
01:15:10Don't say that right now.
01:15:11Please, just hold that for later.
01:15:13We're going to save that later.
01:15:14Okay? We're going to get out of here.
01:15:15Do you trust me?
01:15:16I trust you.
01:15:20Daniel, come to the lake.
01:15:21Shh, shh, shh.
01:15:22Come to the lake.
01:15:23Come to the lake.
01:15:24Come to the lake.
01:15:25Come to the lake.
01:15:26Shh.
01:15:27Now.
01:15:28Marcus is dying.
01:15:44Ariel?
01:15:47Claire?
01:15:50Why are you here?
01:15:53I've been living abroad.
01:15:54Marcus and I have been talking,
01:15:56keeping in touch over the last couple years,
01:15:58and his assistant told me that he was hospitalized.
01:16:01I'm so sorry.
01:16:03I didn't realize you and Marcus still talked.
01:16:05I thought, um...
01:16:07You don't know that...
01:16:09why he married you instead of me?
01:16:18Claire.
01:16:19If you're trying to convince me to stay, don't bother.
01:16:21Claire, I admire your courage to lead the life you want.
01:16:24I don't want to be a pawn for the family's games anymore.
01:16:28I want to be free.
01:16:30I know.
01:16:31I'm not going to hold you back anymore.
01:16:33But you've got to do one thing for me.
01:16:35Can you please tell your parents?
01:16:38Can you please tell them to let Ariel marry me?
01:16:42Marcus chose me?
01:16:51Marcus chose me?
01:16:53He knew that Simone would marry you off for money if he couldn't.
01:16:57He married you to protect you.
01:16:59And if he acted indifferent,
01:17:01it's only because he didn't want you to get too attached.
01:17:04Why didn't he just say that?
01:17:06You know Marcus.
01:17:09He can't admit his feelings very easily.
01:17:12But his love is...
01:17:15steeper than anyone's.
01:17:17Steeper than anyone's.
01:17:21So...
01:17:24he doesn't know that I've been in love with him since we were children?
01:17:27It's always been you, Ariel.
01:17:31Ever since we were children, it's only ever been you.
01:17:35He's always loved you.
01:17:47He's always loved you.
01:17:53Marcus, you really are the dumbest asshole in the world.
01:17:56You know that, right?
01:17:59Why didn't you tell me you married me to protect me?
01:18:02Why were you so cold?
01:18:04Why did you...
01:18:08Why did you pretend you hated me?
01:18:11Because none of it worked.
01:18:14I still love you.
01:18:17Of course I still love you.
01:18:20But I need you.
01:18:21You can't leave me, okay?
01:18:28Take this ring.
01:18:31Take it.
01:18:34And put it on my finger again. I just...
01:18:39I need to...
01:18:41hear you say that you love me.
01:18:44Please, Marcus.
01:18:46Please.
01:19:07Marcus.
01:19:10You're awake.
01:19:16Oh.
01:19:20This...
01:19:21This ring wasn't left behind by your sister.
01:19:25It was made custom for you.
01:19:29It's unique just like you.
01:19:33It just wasn't the right time to give it to you before.
01:19:36Because you were mad and...
01:19:38and I'm sorry.
01:19:41Marcus, are you always this overdramatic?
01:19:45Yes.
01:19:46And it's because I think you're the only one who can handle me.
01:20:09Miss...
01:20:10Ariel Rochester.
01:20:14Will you still...
01:20:18Will you still marry me?
01:20:21Yes.
01:20:23I will.
01:20:36Come here.
01:20:45Come here.
01:20:48Stop it. Stop. I'm not kidding.
01:20:52Don't be so naughty, Governor.
01:20:55I like a bit naughty.
01:21:17I want to take a moment to thank my parents...
01:21:20and my campaign team...
01:21:22and all my friends out there...
01:21:24who've carried me through every challenge.
01:21:27But above all...
01:21:29I want to thank my wife.
01:21:33Ariel Rochester.
01:21:36Whose strength, courage, and love...
01:21:39I wouldn't be alive without today.
01:21:42This woman is not only my wife...
01:21:45she is the dream that carried me through my childhood...
01:21:49and she's the light that pierces my darkest days.
01:21:52Ariel...
01:21:54I love you. Can you hear that?
01:21:56Yes, I can.
01:21:58Loud and clear.
