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