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?
00:00:20There he is, Mr. Congressman Marcus Blakeson.
00:00:34He's so handsome.
00:00:38Congressman Marcus is California's youngest and most promising political star.
00:00:45OMG, imagine dating someone that hot.
00:00:47His wife is actually a chester.
00:00:53My friend Tommy says 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?
00:01:17Let me just remove it.
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.
00:03:01You're deaf.
00:03:06Go on.
00:03:14Marcus.
00:03:15Marcus, please pick up the phone.
00:03:18Of course.
00:03:20Absolutely.
00:03:30Hello?
00:03:33Hello?
00:03:34I have your wife.
00:03:35You're going to do exactly as I say or I'm going to kill her.
00:03:42Hello?
00:03:43I have your wife.
00:03:44But if you don't do exactly what I say.
00:03:48I'm going to kill her.
00:03:49I don't have time for these games.
00:03:51Congressman Marcus, I 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.
00:04:02She's my hostage.
00:04:04Well, then call me when she's a corpse.
00:04:08That man is fucking cruel.
00:04:10You know that?
00:04:12Heartless 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?
00:04:42Tom, 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.
00:05:20Alcohol.
00:05:24Are you kidding me?
00:05:25Give me that.
00:05:34What is with the attitude?
00:05:42Hello?
00:05:44Mr. Flerka, the call had an antispiratory measure and it was too brief to trace.
00:05:48They also used a voice changer, so voice analyst is out.
00:05:53These people have no idea who they're dealing with.
00:05:56They really think that my wife is my weakness.
00:05:59Ridiculous.
00:06:00I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you wanted me dead.
00:06:06Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel.
00:06:10And absolutely under no circumstances should she find out.
00:06:13Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work.
00:06:15Understood?
00:06:23I've rigged this phone against tracking.
00:06:26Your husband can't trace it.
00:06:28Marcus marrying you three years ago from my sister was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:06:33Now that I have my hearing back, I'm going to make sure everything gets back on track.
00:06:47Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding.
00:06:49Take the dress off.
00:06:51Really?
00:06:53This 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?
00:07:21Yeah.
00:07:23Yeah, you are.
00:07:27Okay, let's establish a couple ground rules.
00:07:30One, I'm technically going to be married to Claire, so we have to conceal your identity.
00:07:35Two, you're not making any public appearances.
00:07:38And three, during our marriage, there are no children whatsoever.
00:07:43Okay?
00:07:45Are you listening?
00:07:46Why are you doing this to me?
00:07:51Because people like us are not afforded the choice.
00:08:04Ariel.
00:08:06Ariel, are you okay?
00:08:10Ariel?
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.
00:09:10I'm not going to allow it.
00:09:12Why is he defending me now?
00:09:14On that note, we're going to be taking our leave.
00:09:19Bye.
00:09:30Stop!
00:09:35I'm visiting wildfire victims tomorrow, and I need your help picking an outfit.
00:09:42Remember, nothing too high profile.
00:09:50Oh, my goodness.
00:09:54Not that.
00:09:59Marcus.
00:10:04It's a good thing you couldn't hear what my parents said about you.
00:10:12I 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, it's...
00:10:32Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:10:37Our state goes through a lot of disasters.
00:10:39Mudslides, we deal with droughts, we deal with wildfires.
00:10:43In my understanding, over the last 40 years, a lot of things have built up to this moment.
00:10:49A lot of things that are perceived to bring us to...
00:10:54Just one moment, guys.
00:10:58Who's this?
00:10:59Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:11:04I don't think you've done your homework.
00:11:06My wife's name is Claire.
00:11:08No, Claire's the older sister.
00:11:10I'm the younger brother.
00:11:12I'm the older brother.
00:11:14I'm the younger brother.
00:11:16I'm the younger brother.
00:11:18I'm the younger brother.
00:11:20I'm the younger brother.
00:11:22Claire's the older sister.
00:11:24When she ran away three years ago, you married Ariel to save your political career.
00:11:28What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:11:35What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:11:39Swapping wives between two sisters?
00:11:41I didn't know my wife's name was Ariel.
00:11:45Tell me who the hell this is.
00:11:46It doesn't matter who I am.
00:11:47Divorce your wife, and...
00:11:49Your secrets 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.
00:11:57Don't even think 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, so now he doesn't want to divorce me.
00:12:16Now I need a new plan.
00:12:21Yeah!
00:12:28Mr. Flick, you're about to be on camera, and the press will definitely make a big deal of that moment.
00:12:34Tom, I want you to get me the best computer engineers in the world.
00:12:37We're gonna 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.
00:12:48Awesome 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, you know?
00:13:11I mean, I've lived the past three years of my life in a silent hell, and now...
00:13:16Life 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, they 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?
00:14:15Okay.
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, the chances of success are very slim.
00:14:41If it works, it would be absolutely close to a miracle.
00:14:45It's just something that doesn't happen very often.
00:14:48I'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?
00:14:57Okay.
00:15:00There we go.
00:15:06Learn to please your husband and have a baby ASAP.
00:15:11Okay.
00:15:42Tom, the manager sent me a few photos.
00:15:45I need you to trace them.
00:15:47Yes, sir.
00:15:48Keep them on the line for more than five minutes for better tracking.
00:16:03Did you see that?
00:16:04It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:16:07She's cheating on you.
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.
00:16:32You know, those photos you sent, the faces are unrecognizable.
00:16:36How are you so confident that they're my wife?
00:16:38Didn'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.
00:16:44How do you know about the birthmark?
00:16:46Who are you?
00:16:47It doesn't matter who I am.
00:16:48Here are my demands.
00:16:49Divorce your wife or this provocative photo goes public.
00:16:52I'll claim that the perfect congressman can't satisfy his wife.
00:16:56Leaving her to find happiness elsewhere.
00:16:59What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:07What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:10Damn, I hadn'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.
00:17:33Hello?
00:17:35Hello?
00:17:37This man is too complicated to understand.
00:17:45No, sir, we've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software.
00:17:48You know, it's only been traced in a general area.
00:17:52Okay, go ahead.
00:17:53Your phone's location is within a five-mile radius.
00:17:57Which includes your house, sir.
00:18:03Ariel.
00:18:05She's in danger.
00:18:33Ariel.
00:18:54You mad at me?
00:18:58Ariel.
00:18:59Don't!
00:19:01Okay, I won't touch you.
00:19:21We 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.
00:19:30Ariel.
00:19:40Mom, what are you doing? That's my work.
00:19:43Instead of focusing on this garbage, why don't you learn how to dress nicely
00:19:47so 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.
00:19:58Do 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.
00:20:28Perfect.
00:20:33Well, the worst I could say is no.
00:20:43As long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer,
00:20:46I'm ready to work for anyone.
00:20:50I can't let anybody, especially him, find out I can hear again.
00:20:54I have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly.
00:20:57Maybe using text-to-speech is the best.
00:21:12My name is Ariel Anderson.
00:21:14I graduated from the School of Visual Art with a degree in fashion design.
00:21:16I lost my hearing due to an accident three years ago.
00:21:19Unfortunately, a hearing aid won't really help.
00:21:21Therefore, I'd appreciate it if you could use pen and paper for communication.
00:21:24I assure you I can keep up.
00:21:26I'm concerned that our hearing might affect your performance.
00:21:29Recruiting a 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.
00:21:57Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:22:12Is she modifying it just by eye?
00:22:27Congressman Flick, may I ask you to try it on?
00:22:44Five feet, nine inches tall, 165 pounds.
00:22:46Chest, 33.6 inches.
00:22:48Waist, 32.9 inches.
00:22:50Hips, 35.7 inches.
00:22:52These are the congressman's measurements, and I'm confident that they're accurate.
00:22:55That's entirely correct.
00:22:58True.
00:23:00But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:08But 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.
00:23:25Okay.
00:23:33The tie is too flashy. The pants are too short.
00:23:35And overall, the photo screams one word. Arrogance.
00:23:40She is incredible.
00:23:44She's the one.
00:23:50Congrats.
00:23:51Welcome.
00:24:02I was supposed to be divorcing him, but now I guess I'm working with him.
00:24:11Hi, I'm Daniel Campbell.
00:24:15It's good to meet you.
00:24:17I'm so happy to have you on the team.
00:24:19You're great.
00:24:21Would you like to get a coffee?
00:24:23Sure.
00:24:24Yeah?
00:24:35Who is that guy?
00:24:36Can we fire that guy?
00:24:37What?
00:24:38No, that's inappropriate. We can't fire people for no good reason.
00:24:41That'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.
00:24:50So, um, what happened?
00:24:53Your...
00:24:55Sorry.
00:24:59Accident.
00:25:05I don't know.
00:25:06Why don't you get cochlear implants?
00:25:09Cochlear implants for your ear?
00:25:11Too...
00:25:13robotic?
00:25:15Interesting.
00:25:16The...
00:25:18silence...
00:25:20helps.
00:25:22You need work?
00:25:24Cool.
00:25:32Hey, Ward Campbell.
00:25:33It's my lunch break, Mr. Flick.
00:25:35Right.
00:25:37Well, then.
00:25:38I think my new wardrobe consultant needs to check on her duties.
00:25:41My 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.
00:26:31Oh my god.
00:26:33I got you in the photo.
00:26:36Fucking asshole.
00:26:38Oh, I'm sorry.
00:26:41I'm sorry!
00:26:52There we go.
00:26:54Sorry.
00:26:57No.
00:26:58There we go.
00:27:06Don't forget.
00:27:07I'm still paying your brother's medical bills.
00:27:12Marcus, I cannot believe you threatened me with my own brother.
00:27:16What happened to you?
00:27:18What happened to us?
00:27:25The more successful he becomes,
00:27:27the more he feels like a stranger.
00:27:30He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16.
00:27:42I'm sorry.
00:27:47I'm sorry.
00:27:48Don't worry. Just hold on tight, and I'll always protect you.
00:27:52Marcus, how come you're always free to visit Johnny with me?
00:27:58Well, your brother's my brother.
00:28:02When I get older, I'm going to protect you, okay?
00:28:06I promise.
00:28:11Okay.
00:28:34Stay.
00:28:39Congressman Snake.
00:28:42Forgive me for asking, but why have I never been introduced to your wife?
00:28:45Your competitors bring their spouses to events like this,
00:28:48and they do quite well for themselves.
00:28:50Right.
00:28:51But I don't consider my wife to be an accessory.
00:28:53She's her own person.
00:28:55And I don't need her chained to me at all times.
00:28:58You are the perfect husband.
00:29:02Pleasure.
00:29:12You again.
00:29:13Don't know how to quit, huh?
00:29:14Have you made up your mind?
00:29:15Are you divorcing your wife or not?
00:29:17Threats, huh? Go ahead.
00:29:19You're just going to want to regret this.
00:29:20I don't understand you.
00:29:22You say you love your wife, and you want her to live a life that she chooses.
00:29:25And then you turn around and you treat her like a prop.
00:29:27You make me sick.
00:29:29How did you hear about this?
00:29:32Were you at the gala?
00:29:33Have you ever asked her what kind of life she would like to live?
00:29:36Have you even asked her if she loves you?
00:29:38I swear to God, if you do anything to Ariel, I will kill you.
00:29:40I will make you regret it.
00:29:44Ariel!
00:29:49Ariel!
00:29:54Can you hear me?
00:29:55Have you recovered your hearing?
00:29:56Stop!
00:29:57Why did you turn around when I just called your name?
00:30:03Have you found the phone?
00:30:06Have you found the phone?
00:30:09Oh, my God.
00:30:12Gas leak!
00:30:13Oh, my God!
00:30:14Oh, my God!
00:30:33On the porch?
00:30:35She seemed to be on the phone.
00:30:37Was it her all along?
00:30:39Water.
00:30:44Water.
00:30:54Why?
00:31:09It's not her.
00:31:15Explain.
00:31:20Just friends.
00:31:21Friends?
00:31:24I'm going to bed.
00:31:26Ariel.
00:31:30I'm jealous, okay?
00:31:31I'm sorry, I'm jealous.
00:31:33I'm jealous of what you and Daniel have.
00:31:45What?
00:32:12What?
00:32:14I can't sleep.
00:32:18Yeah, but you're my wife.
00:32:29Sometimes I forget that you can't hear me.
00:32:33It's crazy that we've been married for three years,
00:32:36and I feel like you hate me more and more.
00:32:41You hate me for being in this marriage, but
00:32:44if you're not with me, how can I protect you?
00:32:47I don't want you to be the perfect wife.
00:32:49You don't need to be the perfect daughter-in-law.
00:32:52I just want you to do what you love.
00:32:56I'm the one stuck in this family.
00:33:00And that's enough.
00:33:06Marcus, I can't see you clearly.
00:33:09Sometimes you're cold and cruel, but other times
00:33:12you sound like you love me.
00:33:15Which one is the real you?
00:33:26Sorry I'm late, everybody.
00:33:27Once dinner, I'm going to be ready.
00:33:30Enough with the carbs, Marcus.
00:33:32Your body shape reflects the family you come from.
00:33:35You don't want to end up obese like one of those poor people, do you?
00:33:41Sorry, Mom.
00:34:01There, you're home.
00:34:03You made PB&J, my favorite.
00:34:11You're welcome.
00:34:41You're welcome.
00:35:07Help with clothes?
00:35:12No.
00:35:18I've really got to keep a close eye on her.
00:35:22Make sure she stays close to me.
00:35:24Sure enough, I'm never just your wife.
00:35:27I'm a pawn.
00:35:29So, we're going to have to make sure that everything is going to stick together.
00:35:32Oh, here we are.
00:35:34Hi, everybody.
00:35:35My name is Congressman Marcus Flick, and this is my team, okay?
00:35:39We came a long way to hear your thoughts.
00:35:41Please, guys, get them out there.
00:35:43Well, I'm curious what you plan to do about this drought we've been struggling with these last 18 months.
00:35:49That's a good question.
00:35:50I'm not going to say anything.
00:35:51I'm not going to say anything.
00:35:52I'm not going to say anything.
00:35:53I'm not going to say anything.
00:35:54I'm not going to say anything.
00:35:55What are you going to do about this drought we've been struggling with these last 18 months?
00:35:58That's a great question.
00:36:00Off the noggin, I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been finding their way to Sacramento,
00:36:07but they have also been falling onto deaf ears.
00:36:10Marcus is so handsome, isn't he?
00:36:12He's the pride of California.
00:36:14He'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.
00:36:22Perfect husband?
00:36:23These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick.
00:36:26Would you say that?
00:36:30Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:36:39Do you want to check on the horses?
00:36:45They're right over there.
00:36:54Come on, sweetie.
00:36:55Here, let me show you.
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.
00:37:18Congressman, 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.
00:37:26Perfect.
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.
00:37:55We 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.
00:38:16I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:38:19Just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:38:21Okay.
00:38:29He is a control freak.
00:38:50Marcus!
00:39:09Are you all right?
00:39:11Yeah, I'm all right.
00:39:13Are you hurt?
00:39:14I'm fine.
00:39:20Ariel, 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?
00:39:49Why did you lie to me?
00:40:01Let go of me!
00:40:03How long have you had your hearing back, and when did you get your hearing back?
00:40:06Ariel, why did you lie to me?
00:40:12The day you wanted me dead.
00:40:15What are you talking about?
00:40:17The day my hearing came back was the day you wanted me dead.
00:40:20When did I want you dead?
00:40:22God, you really don't remember?
00:40:24The day I got kidnapped?
00:40:26The 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 just a spam call.
00:40:41Why didn't you tell me that you were kidnapped?
00:40:44Why didn't you tell me that you were in danger?
00:40:46Have you always been like this?
00:40:48Blaming everybody but yourself?
00:40:50Did you even care that I was in danger?
00:40:52Do you even see me as your wife?
00:40:54Because every day that I spend with you,
00:40:56I am trapped in a life that I did not choose.
00:40:58How was I supposed to know that the way I'm treating you is causing you so much pain?
00:41:02Please just let me go.
00:41:04I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:08Please just let me go.
00:41:11I'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!
00:41:37Ariel!
00:41:47So, she's actually here now.
00:41:51This is getting interesting.
00:42:07Hello?
00:42:33Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:36I've heard you can hear again.
00:42:38Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:43Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:45I've heard you can hear again.
00:42:47Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:49What the hell do you want?
00:42:50I thought you'd want to hear someone's voice.
00:42:52Come on, sweetie.
00:42:54Say hello to your dear brother.
00:42:56Johnny?
00:42:57No, please don't hurt him.
00:42:59Oh, well, I can't guarantee that.
00:43:01It depends on my mood.
00:43:03Look, if you do anything you want, just don't hurt him.
00:43:06What a deep love.
00:43:08That'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!
00:43:16Oh, I'm not going to kill him.
00:43:18But as a punishment for your escape, I'm going to leave him in the mountains.
00:43:23I hope he's lucky enough to survive.
00:43:27Adrian, Amanda, the reality is we only have about eight weeks left of this campaign.
00:43:33So we need to lock in.
00:43:35Our goal is to get ahold of Sacramento, L.A., San Diego, all the official sprints.
00:43:45Johnny?
00:43:46Johnny?
00:43:47Johnny?
00:43:48Johnny?
00:43:49Johnny, it's going to be okay.
00:43:50I'm here now.
00:43:51I'm here.
00:43:52It's okay, it's me.
00:43:53It's Ariel.
00:43:54I'm here.
00:43:55It's okay.
00:43:56It's okay.
00:43:57I'm here.
00:43:58I'm here.
00:43:59It's going to be okay.
00:44:01It's okay.
00:44:03Congressman Flick, we found a woman in the unconscious now.
00:44:06Congressman Marcus?
00:44:08Marcus?
00:44:09Marcus, it's Johnny.
00:44:10There's something wrong, and I don't know what to do.
00:44:12I got you, okay?
00:44:13Don't panic.
00:44:14I'm going to take care of him.
00:44:15We need to get him to the hospital immediately.
00:44:17We're going to take a helicopter.
00:44:19Okay.
00:44:24Listen to me, okay?
00:44:26He's going to go to the hospital.
00:44:27We're going to take care of him immediately.
00:44:29But you're hurt, too.
00:44:30You need treatment.
00:44:32Congressman Flick, can I ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:37She's my aunt.
00:44:40She's my wife.
00:44:44Can I ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:48She's my...
00:44:50She's...
00:44:54She's my wife.
00:44:57And the victim's my brother.
00:44:59This is your wife?
00:45:01Yes.
00:45:02And we need to get her to the hospital immediately.
00:45:04She's in shock.
00:45:06We'll talk about this later.
00:45:18Doctor.
00:45:20How's my brother?
00:45:21The patient's stable.
00:45:22He's just a little shaken up.
00:45:24But he'll be fine.
00:45:25He just needs rest.
00:45:26We appreciate your care.
00:45:28Thank you, Doctor.
00:45:29Mr. Congressman Flick, it's an honor to serve you.
00:45:32We'll give him the best of everything.
00:45:34Don't worry.
00:45:35We'll take good care of your family.
00:45:47Marcus, I don't know how...
00:45:49You ruined everything again!
00:45:55You ruined everything again!
00:45:57Your son's in a coma, and your daughter's injured,
00:45:59and you're just gonna come over here and start pointing fingers in a hospital?
00:46:02Marcus, it's all over the news.
00:46:04Ariel went and rescued Johnny today.
00:46:06If people find out she's in a relationship with you,
00:46:08it could ruin your chances of being governor.
00:46:11That's not the point, okay?
00:46:12Family...
00:46:13Family comes first.
00:46:14Don't misunderstand me.
00:46:16I care for Johnny, but he's out of danger now,
00:46:19and it's just a matter of time before he recovers.
00:46:21But you, you're in the middle of an election.
00:46:25One mistake can cost us everything.
00:46:27You care about election results,
00:46:29but I think you only care about your own profits, don't you?
00:46:32I'm telling you right now, you're gonna treat my wife with respect,
00:46:35or you're gonna have to leave.
00:46:37Now leave.
00:46:44Don't take it personally.
00:46:45Why not?
00:46:46She's done this my whole life, regardless of if I could hear or not.
00:46:50That's the family I grew up with.
00:46:53Listen to me.
00:46:54You, me, Johnny...
00:46:59We're each other's family.
00:47:15I love you.
00:47:32Yes?
00:47:33You know, this is the first phone call we've had since you...
00:47:36since you lost your hearing three years ago.
00:47:38Yeah.
00:47:39First call.
00:47:41Yeah.
00:47:43Wait.
00:47:44Is this the first...
00:47:46Did you call in another line?
00:47:48No, no, that's not what I meant.
00:47:50How 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...
00:47:58Why?
00:47:59Why would you do that?
00:48:01Well, because I promised you, Ariel.
00:48:03I promised that I was gonna protect Johnny.
00:48:05I guess I...
00:48:07I don't know if I can thank you.
00:48:09Dude, Johnny, I was just... I was so scared.
00:48:12I can't imagine what I'd do if anything happened to him.
00:48:16He's my only family left.
00:48:19Open the door.
00:48:25Open the door.
00:48:43Wait, wait.
00:48:47You know, I would have gone crazy if anything happened to you today.
00:48:51Thank you, Marcus, for everything.
00:48:57Come to the office tomorrow.
00:48:59I got something to share with you.
00:49:12Hey.
00:49:14I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:17Why?
00:49:20I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:23Why?
00:49:24Because I've been pushing you too much, and you need to follow your dreams.
00:49:32Here.
00:49:33What's this?
00:49:34This is the key to a design studio in downtown.
00:49:39I raised three million in capital just for you.
00:49:41It's all yours.
00:49:43Are you serious?
00:49:44I'm not joking.
00:49:45And I need you to promise me something, okay?
00:49:48Please do not tell your mom or anybody that you can hear now.
00:49:52Probably best so they're not judging us.
00:49:56Okay.
00:49:58I have something for you, too.
00:50:02What is this?
00:50:05For the past three years, I have been documenting some of your looks.
00:50:09It's just some ideas, designs, and things.
00:50:15That's perfect.
00:50:19Come here.
00:50:29Come in.
00:50:30Come in.
00:50:33Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:41Come in.
00:50:44Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:47Okay, go ahead.
00:50:48Go ahead.
00:50:55Well, your governor's campaign has hit a critical phase,
00:51:00but your support is slipping.
00:51:02And meanwhile, Stephen Hopkins, his approval ratings are climbing.
00:51:10I have it under control.
00:51:11Under control? I don't see any progress in that.
00:51:16You are too distracted.
00:51:17Father, I'll handle my campaign.
00:51:19Ariel is not the problem.
00:51:21Hopkins' wife is actively involved in women's foundations and charity events,
00:51:27boosting his appeal.
00:51:28If you want to gain ground, Marcus,
00:51:30you need to present the image of a flawless family.
00:51:35Dress like Claire and join Marcus at campaign events?
00:51:44You won't do it?
00:51:46Father Ariel, she is herself.
00:51:48She's not imitating her sister.
00:51:50She's not going to pretend to be anyone else
00:51:52in order to win political votes.
00:51:56And God-forsaken Flick,
00:51:58I don't want to take a risk on Dean all over again.
00:52:03Yes, I don't need …
00:52:05I've already had a trip grandma,
00:52:07and you'll play the alcoholic.
00:52:10See if my opinion,
00:52:11She's not going to pretend to be anyone else in order to win political votes.
00:52:15You ungrateful son of a bitch!
00:52:18We gave you everything!
00:52:20Resources, training, this position, and this?
00:52:26This is how you're going to disobey us?
00:52:28This is my wife, okay?
00:52:29Insulting her is disrespecting me!
00:52:33Respect?
00:52:34You, you are nothing without the flick name.
00:52:39Nothing!
00:52:40You, you are nothing!
00:52:48Everything that you have here is us!
00:52:51None of your merit!
00:52:52And I am thankful for what you did for me, but I'm not going to use the people I love
00:52:56to win political games!
00:52:58That is my boundary.
00:52:59A true politician has no soft spots, Marcus.
00:53:02Well, if being a successful politician means using the people I love, then I'll give it
00:53:08all up.
00:53:09How can you say that, Marcus?
00:53:11This is ridiculous!
00:53:15If we'd have known, we never would have picked you up at the orphanage.
00:53:19Ever!
00:53:20Marcus is adopted.
00:53:21Let's go.
00:53:22Well, I'm sorry I wasn't the perfect son!
00:53:36Marcus, he's carried more than I ever realized.
00:53:43Congressman Marcus Flick, to deliver inspiring election pep talk in Southern California.
00:54:00Here, for your campaign tomorrow.
00:54:02I already signed it.
00:54:06But the campaign just started, and now you want a divorce?
00:54:10You see, somebody called me, and they told me that if you love someone, you do not trap
00:54:16them in a political marriage.
00:54:20Ariel, I thought I was protecting you, but I was just helping myself.
00:54:26I was preventing you from what you wanted, because I thought it was going to hurt you.
00:54:31But I was being a hypocrite.
00:54:35And I'm sorry.
00:54:39This, at least one of us gets to be free.
00:54:46But I was being a hypocrite.
00:54:49And I'm sorry.
00:54:51Now, at least one of us gets to be free.
00:55:04Mm-hmm.
00:55:34Mm-hmm.
00:56:05Congressman, do you know what a mistake you've made?
00:56:12Congressman, do you know what a mistake you've made?
00:56:16You know, I don't know what I did tonight, but feel free to punish me.
00:56:19What are you saying?
00:56:21Aren't you afraid of being overheard?
00:56:23Ariel, can I talk dirty to my wife?
00:56:26Stop being slick.
00:56:28I, um, I made you a coat for the rally tomorrow.
00:56:33Hope 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, I will bring you the coat.
00:56:46I'll see you.
00:56:48And, uh, I miss you.
00:56:52Okay, well, that's enough out of you.
00:56:54Bye.
00:56:57Fine, I miss you too.
00:57:03Bye.
00:57:23Sir, a package arrived for you.
00:57:29Oh, my God.
00:57:32This is Ariel's coat. Where is she?
00:57:34No word yet. She's not answering calls.
00:57:36Well, you need to check her studio right now, okay?
00:57:38I'm on it, Congressman.
00:57:40Your supporters are waiting for you. You need to get on stage now.
00:57:43No, they can wait. I'm gonna go check on Ariel right now, okay?
00:57:47What are you doing? Look, time is gold.
00:57:50You 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.
00:58:00Thanks for having me, everybody.
00:58:02Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:58:04I think, as dark as it is, we're gonna have a great night, everybody.
00:58:12Oh, my God.
00:58:14There's water everywhere. There's water everywhere.
00:58:16Oh, my God, help!
00:58:21Oh, my God.
00:58:23There's water everywhere. There's water everywhere.
00:58:25Oh, my God, help!
00:58:27Somebody help me!
00:58:29Help, please!
00:58:34Johnny?
00:58:36I don't...
00:58:38Johnny?
00:58:40Johnny, wake up. That's not funny.
00:58:42Johnny, wake up.
00:58:44Oh, my God.
00:58:46This is all your fault.
00:58:48You're nothing but a curse.
00:58:50Oh, my God, is he breathing?
00:58:52Johnny, can you hear me?
00:58:54Oh, my God, it's my fault.
00:58:56Oh, my God.
00:58:58Johnny, I need you.
00:59:00Help!
00:59:13Turn it on.
00:59:20What do you want with me?
00:59:26You'll find out soon enough.
00:59:28Thanks for having me, everybody.
00:59:30Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:59:36Hello.
00:59:38How sweet.
00:59:40You think the congressman knows
00:59:42his wife is just a breath away from death?
00:59:46You want to give him a present?
00:59:48Paula.
00:59:50No.
00:59:53Oh, you want me to do it?
00:59:55Fine.
00:59:57You're welcome.
00:59:59No, Marcus, don't answer.
01:00:03My goal is to increase economic growth by 20%
01:00:06all while tackling homelessness
01:00:08and reducing crime.
01:00:12Sir.
01:00:14Sir.
01:00:22Marcus, I'm so sorry.
01:00:24I love you, I like you.
01:00:26No, Ariel, Ariel, where are you?
01:00:28I lied to you about the phone calls.
01:00:30I thought I could protect you.
01:00:32But now I think that maybe if 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...
01:00:41She dies.
01:00:46I gotta go.
01:00:47Congressman, you're such a slob, Mr. White.
01:00:49You can't just leave now.
01:00:52I gotta go.
01:01:02Well, that's so sweet.
01:01:04He's actually abandoning his campaign to save you.
01:01:08No, you can have all my money.
01:01:10Just don't make Marcus come here.
01:01:12Shut 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!
01:01:53Ariel!
01:01:58Ariel!
01:02:02Ariel, I'm coming!
01:02:05Please.
01:02:08Ariel!
01:02:15Please pick up. Please pick up. Please pick up.
01:02:17Please pick up.
01:02:19Oh, shit.
01:02:27Ariel!
01:02:34Ariel!
01:02:46Ariel!
01:02:48Ariel!
01:02:50Oh, my God.
01:02:52Ariel! Ariel!
01:02:54It's okay. It's okay.
01:02:56Ariel, I'm gonna get you home.
01:02:59Marcus, behind you!
01:03:12It's you?
01:03:14It's you?
01:03:29It's you?
01:03:32It's you?
01:03:37Well, we were friends.
01:03:39You approached me.
01:03:42After years of digging and searching,
01:03:44I uncovered the real secrets about your perfect marriage.
01:03:48Yeah, I kidnapped you once you got away.
01:03:51You stole my phone, too, so I had to get closer.
01:03:54I joined your campaign team.
01:03:56Marcus, do you ever wonder
01:03:58why you couldn't track the threatening calls you were getting?
01:04:01That's because your culprit was right there on your I.T. team.
01:04:05How blind can you be?
01:04:10Marcus, do you ever wonder
01:04:12why you couldn't track the threatening calls you were getting?
01:04:15That's because your culprit was right there on your I.T. team.
01:04:19How blind can you be?
01:04:21This is all because you're trying to sabotage my campaign?
01:04:24It's not even worth it!
01:04:26Look at my face!
01:04:28Do you even recognize me?
01:04:30Do you know who I am?
01:04:32Of course you don't.
01:04:34Let me remind you.
01:04:36Fifteen years ago,
01:04:38the orphanage, your best...
01:04:40friend.
01:04:47No.
01:04:50No, it can't be.
01:04:52Yeah.
01:04:54Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:05:04No.
01:05:07No, no, it can't be.
01:05:09Yeah.
01:05:10Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:05:12Hey, where's my money, huh?
01:05:14I don't have it.
01:05:16I don't have anything.
01:05:18Hey, leave him alone!
01:05:20Leave him alone!
01:05:23You okay?
01:05:25What happened?
01:05:27He called me a fat pig.
01:05:29Ignore them. They're just jerks.
01:05:32Thanks, Marcus.
01:05:34Can I hang out with you?
01:05:35Of course.
01:05:36We're friends now.
01:05:39Sean, what happened to you?
01:05:41You've changed.
01:05:43You recognize me now?
01:05:45Noble congressman, or should I say you're an orphan nobody wanted?
01:05:49You keep that a secret from your voters, too?
01:05:52Sean, why do you hate me? We were friends.
01:05:54Why do you hate me? Why are you targeting Ariel?
01:05:56Friends?
01:05:57You stole everything from me, Marcus.
01:06:00That stage you parade around on.
01:06:03This life of power and respect belonged to me, not to you.
01:06:11And at first I'd let it go. I wanted to let it go.
01:06:14But every time I turned on the TV,
01:06:16I saw you parading around this perfect life, and it wasn't fair.
01:06:19The Flicks chose Marcus.
01:06:21Shut up!
01:06:22The Flicks chose me.
01:06:24But on adoption day, yeah, you remember,
01:06:27I got sick from the cake you gave me.
01:06:29I was at the hospital with food poisoning, so they took you instead.
01:06:33Sean, I went back to the orphanage.
01:06:35I spoke to the dean, and he said that you were adopted by a loving family,
01:06:39that you were happy.
01:06:40Happy?
01:06:42I was adopted into a nightmare.
01:06:45A couple that divorced and left me out to rot.
01:06:48What about that is happy?
01:06:53Sean, I'm sorry for what you went through, but revenge is not the way.
01:06:56We gotta figure this out together.
01:06:58Figure it out?
01:06:59What are we gonna figure out, Marcus?
01:07:01I spent years suffering, watching you live my life.
01:07:04We are never figuring it out.
01:07:11Hold on!
01:07:12I got you.
01:07:13Sean, I'm not gonna let you fall any further.
01:07:18Come on.
01:07:22Sean.
01:07:24Sean, we don't have to hate each other.
01:07:26Okay, just let it go.
01:07:27I will go to the police.
01:07:29I will explain everything.
01:07:30You don't have to worry about it.
01:07:31Just please, please don't let the hatred consume you.
01:07:39You were always a saint, Marcus.
01:07:41Marcus, look out!
01:07:45Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
01:07:47Are you okay?
01:07:48Perfect.
01:07:50You get to die in front of the one you love the most.
01:07:55My revenge is complete.
01:07:58Daniel, don't! You don't need to...
01:08:05It's okay.
01:08:06You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:08:07Don't cry.
01:08:08It's gonna be okay. I'm fine.
01:08:09I'm fine.
01:08:10Daniel, you don't need to...
01:08:16It's okay.
01:08:17You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:08:18Don't cry.
01:08:19It's gonna be okay. I'm fine.
01:08:20It's gonna be okay.
01:08:21I need you to apply pressure.
01:08:22I need you to stay with me.
01:08:23Okay?
01:08:26I love you, and I need you to hang in there, okay?
01:08:28I love you.
01:08:29Don't say that right now.
01:08:30Please, just hold that for later.
01:08:31We're gonna save that later.
01:08:32Okay? We're gonna get out of here.
01:08:33Do you trust me?
01:08:34I trust you.
01:08:35Daniel Hwan, come to the lake.
01:08:37Now! MarcusÃc is dying!
01:08:39Move.
01:08:50Ariel?
01:08:53Claire?
01:08:56Why are you here?
01:08:59I've been missing you.
01:09:01You're dead.
01:09:02Why are you here?
01:09:04I've been living abroad.
01:09:06Marcus and I have been talking,
01:09:08keeping in touch over the last couple of years,
01:09:10and his assistant told me that he was hospitalized.
01:09:13So I saw him.
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?
01:09:30Claire.
01:09:31If you're trying to convince me to stay, don't bother.
01:09:34Claire, I admire your courage to lead the life you want.
01:09:37I don't want to be a pawn
01:09:39for the family's games anymore.
01:09:41I want to be free.
01:09:43I know.
01:09:45I'm not gonna hold you back anymore.
01:09:47But you gotta do one thing for me.
01:09:49Can you please tell your parents?
01:09:51Can you please tell them to let Ariel marry me?
01:09:55Marcus chose me?
01:09:58Marcus chose me?
01:10:00He knew that Simone would marry you off for money if he couldn't.
01:10:03He married you to protect you.
01:10:06And if he acted indifferent,
01:10:08it's only because he didn't want you to get too attached.
01:10:11Why didn't he just say that?
01:10:13You know Marcus.
01:10:15He can't admit his feelings very easily.
01:10:18But his love, it's...
01:10:21it's deeper than anyone's.
01:10:27So...
01:10:29he doesn't know that I've been in love with him since we were children?
01:10:32It's always been you, Ariel.
01:10:36Ever since we were children, it's only ever been you.
01:10:40He's always loved you.
01:10:52Marcus, you really are the dumbest asshole in the world.
01:10:55You know that, right?
01:10:57Why didn't you tell me you married me to protect me?
01:11:00Why were you so cold?
01:11:02Why did you...
01:11:06Why did you pretend you hated me?
01:11:09Because none of it worked.
01:11:13I still love you.
01:11:16Of course I still love you.
01:11:18I need you.
01:11:20You can't leave me, okay?
01:11:26Take this ring.
01:11:29Take it.
01:11:32And put it on my finger again. I just...
01:11:37I need to hear you say that you love me.
01:11:42Marcus.
01:11:56Marcus.
01:11:59You're awake.
01:12:09This...
01:12:10This ring wasn't left behind by your sister.
01:12:14It was made custom for you.
01:12:18It's unique, just like you.
01:12:21It's unique, just like you.
01:12:25It just wasn't the right time to give it to you before.
01:12:28Because you were mad, and I'm sorry.
01:12:33Marcus, are you always this overdramatic?
01:12:37Yes.
01:12:39And it's because I think you're the only one who can handle me.
01:12:52This Ariel Rochester...
01:12:57Will you still...
01:13:01Will you still marry me?
01:13:04Yes.
01:13:06I will.
01:13:22Come here.
01:13:34Stop it! Stop! I'm not kidding.
01:13:38Don't be so naughty, Governor.
01:13:41I like it when you're naughty.
01:13:57I want to take a moment to thank my parents,
01:14:00and my campaign team,
01:14:02and all my friends out there
01:14:04who've carried me through every challenge.
01:14:07But above all,
01:14:09I want to thank my wife.
01:14:13Ariel Rochester,
01:14:15whose strength, courage, and love
01:14:18I wouldn't be alive without today.
01:14:22This woman is not only my wife,
01:14:25she's the dream that carried me through my childhood,
01:14:28and she's the light that pierces my darkest days.
01:14:32Ariel, I love you.
01:14:35Can you hear that?
01:14:37Yes, I can.
01:14:39That includes me.
01:14:41Come here.
01:14:48I love you.
