00:00:00Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist?
00:00:16Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist?
00:00:19Who do they think are going to be wearing these haute couture designer pieces today?
00:00:30There is Mr. Congressman Marcos Flakes.
00:00:46So handsome.
00:00:50Congressman Marcos is California's most promising political star.
00:00:54OMG, imagine getting something out of my heart.
00:00:58Jamal.
00:00:59His wife, Dr. Rochester.
00:01:01Rochester.
00:01:03I've told him he's saying he adores his wife so much.
00:01:06He never brings her to any public events to protect her from the media.
00:01:11Has anyone ever actually seen his wife?
00:01:27I just want to.
00:01:28This one, darling.
00:01:29I just want to.
00:01:34I love you.
00:01:38I love you.
00:01:40I love you.
00:01:41I love you.
00:01:45I love you.
00:01:46I'm just a moment.
00:01:57Okay.
00:02:10We're married, but I'm just a pawn in his quest for power.
00:02:14In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:44I can hear.
00:02:54How can I, how can I hear?
00:03:05No security for a politician's life.
00:03:10Dealing you was almost too easy.
00:03:13I'm kidnapped?
00:03:14Call your husband.
00:03:16Now!
00:03:16That's right.
00:03:20You're deaf.
00:03:21I'm still in love.
00:03:25Go home.
00:03:33Marcus?
00:03:34Marcus, please be, please be careful of the phone.
00:03:37Of course.
00:03:38You've got everything, of course.
00:03:39Absolutely.
00:03:39You're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her.
00:03:58Hello?
00:04:08I have your wife.
00:04:10And if you don't do exactly what I say, I'm going to kill her.
00:04:14I don't have time for these games.
00:04:16Tell your husband Marcus.
00:04:17I truly cannot believe that you don't care about your wife's life.
00:04:21And I'm telling you, I get three or four of these scams a week, so why don't you go kick rocks?
00:04:25I'll tell you one more time.
00:04:27She's my hostage.
00:04:28Well, then call me when she's a corpse.
00:04:32That man is fucking cruel.
00:04:35You know that?
00:04:37Heartless politician.
00:04:39You know, if he doesn't care about whether or not you die, I guess it's my choice.
00:04:45And believe me, you're beautiful.
00:04:48It's a shame you're not going to know what you're doing.
00:04:51Marcus, you motherfucker!
00:05:09Tom?
00:05:12Tom, I keep getting scam calls to my phone.
00:05:14I need you to check out the origin of the number.
00:05:16I've already checked this number a hundred times.
00:05:17I understand, but we need to make sure that my wife is safe.
00:05:20Copy that.
00:05:21Also, if you could just let Mr. Versace and I'll be right with him.
00:05:40What are you doing?
00:05:41What are you doing?
00:05:47What is with the attitude?
00:06:04Hello?
00:06:13Mr. Klerkow, the call had an anti-spinence measure and it was too brief to trace.
00:06:18They also used a voice changer, so voice analyst is out.
00:06:22These people have no idea where they're dealing with.
00:06:25They really think that my wife is a weakness.
00:06:29Ridiculous.
00:06:29Marcus, I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you wanted me dead.
00:06:36Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel.
00:06:40And absolutely under no circumstances she find out.
00:06:43Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work.
00:06:45Understood?
00:06:45Understood?
00:06:45I've rigged this phone against tracking.
00:07:02Your husband can't trace it.
00:07:04Marcus marrying you three years ago for my sister was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:07:08Now that I have my hearing back, I'm going to make sure everything gets back on track.
00:07:23Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding.
00:07:26Take the dress off.
00:07:28Really?
00:07:29This is what you want to be the wife of a politician?
00:07:33It's just like the dress.
00:07:34It's not even yours.
00:07:35Do I have a choice?
00:07:37Let's get things straight.
00:07:37I need to marry Rochester in order to secure my run for the house.
00:07:41Your sister runs off.
00:07:43So now, you get to be the replacement.
00:07:49So, I'm really just a replacement to you?
00:08:04Yeah.
00:08:06Yeah, you are.
00:08:07One, I'm technically going to be married to Claire, so we have to conceal your identity.
00:08:16Two, you're not making any public appearances.
00:08:19And three, during our marriage, there are no children whatsoever.
00:08:24Okay?
00:08:26Are you listening?
00:08:27Why are you doing this to me?
00:08:32Because people like us are not afforded a choice.
00:08:35Error.
00:08:36Yeah.
00:08:47Error, are you okay?
00:08:50Error.
00:08:51has ariel recovered any of her hearings since that sudden deafness at the wedding it's not so
00:09:14bad being deaf mrs flick it spares ariel from hearing anything that might damage marcus's
00:09:19campaign for governor exactly and when marcus becomes governor we might consider cosmetic
00:09:26surgery for ariel make her look more like her sister i'm sure the public will sympathize with
00:09:32marcus that he has not abandoned his disabled wife you're so wise mr flick that's a brilliant
00:09:37strategy you all seem more concerned about politics than the well-being of my wife you really think

00:09:49the topic as long as i'm married to ariel we're not going to be doing any reconstructive surgery to

00:16:31Tom
00:16:34The man just sent me a few photos
00:16:36I need you to trace them
00:16:38Yes sir
00:16:38Keep them on the line for more than five minutes for better tracking
00:16:41Did you see that?
00:16:55It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else
00:16:57She's cheating on you
00:16:59My wife wouldn't cheat on me
00:17:02It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else
00:17:06She's cheating on you
00:17:08My wife wouldn't cheat on me
00:17:10Why? You don't think she's attractive enough?
00:17:13No, I think she's quite attractive actually
00:17:16I just know her
00:17:18And she wouldn't betray her promises
00:17:20You know, those photos you sent
00:17:23The faces are unrecognizable
00:17:24How are you so confident?
00:17:26That they're my wife
00:17:27Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife so well?
00:17:30Ariel has a birthmark on her chest
00:17:31Surely you're familiar with it
00:17:33How do you know about the birthmark?
00:17:35Who are you?
00:17:36It doesn't matter who I am
00:17:37Here are my demands
00:17:38Divorce your wife or this provocative photo's public
00:17:41I'll claim that the perfect congressman
00:17:43He can't satisfy his wife
00:17:44Leaving her to find happiness elsewhere
00:17:47What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:55What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:58Damn, I hadn't thought of that
00:17:59I hate her
00:18:00I can't stand seeing her live such a privileged life
00:18:04Well, I'm not going to indulge your twisted desires
00:18:06She's my wife and I'm going to protect her
00:18:08Don't act like you really love her
00:18:10You're just worried that a divorce would hurt your political image
00:18:13You think you know her so well?
00:18:16If you love someone, you don't trap them in a political sham marriage, you hypocrite
00:18:20Hello?
00:18:23Hello?
00:18:25This man is too complicated to understand
00:18:27Now, sir, we've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software
00:18:36You know, it's only been traced in the general area
00:18:39Okay, go ahead
00:18:41Your phone's location isn't within a five-mile radius
00:18:44Which includes your house, sir
00:18:47She's in danger
00:18:57She's in danger
00:19:27You're mad at me?
00:19:41Ariel
00:19:41Don't
00:19:42Okay
00:19:44I won't touch you
00:19:57We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image making
00:20:08And understands how each grammy can tell a compelling story
00:20:11Mom, what are you doing?
00:20:23That's my work
00:20:24Instead of focusing on this garbage
00:20:27Why don't you learn how to dress nicely so you can catch a good man like your sister did?
00:20:31Mom
00:20:31Clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men
00:20:34I can't believe you just said that
00:20:36Ariel
00:20:37You're going to stop chasing these fanciful dreams
00:20:40Do you remember where you came from?
00:20:42Without my marriage into the Rochester family
00:20:45You wouldn't even have the money to attend a private school and focus on this nonsense
00:20:49If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me
00:20:53Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband
00:20:56Just like I did
00:20:59Well, the worst I could say is now
00:21:16As long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer
00:21:28I'm ready to work for anyone
00:21:30I can't let anybody, especially him, find out I can hear again
00:21:34I have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly
00:21:38Maybe using text to speech is the best
00:21:42My name is Ariel Anderson
00:21:55I graduated from the School of Visual Art with a degree in fashion design
00:21:58I lost my hearing due to an accident three years ago
00:22:00Unfortunately, a hearing aid won't really help
00:22:03Therefore, I'd appreciate if you could use pen and paper for communication
00:22:06I assure you I can keep up
00:22:07I'm concerned that her hearing might affect your performance
00:22:10Recruiting a disabled woman will make our campaign team look more diverse and socially responsible
00:22:16The board is within better of us
00:22:18I hear both of your concerns, however
00:22:20But the reality is we only need a wardrobe consultant that's qualified
00:22:24The congressman needs to attend an unscheduled event
00:22:29Please adjust the suit accordingly
00:22:31I'm not going to do the same thing
00:22:39I'm not going to do the same thing
00:22:40Is she modifying you in just by eye?
00:22:55I'm not going to do the same thing
00:22:57I'm not going to do the same thing
00:22:59Congresswoman Flick, may I ask you to try it on?
00:23:095 feet, 9 inches tall, 165 pounds, chest 33.6 inches, waist 32.9 inches, hips 35.7 inches.
00:23:32These are the congressman's measurements, and I'm confident that they're accurate.
00:23:35That's entirely correct.
00:23:38True.
00:23:40But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:48I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:52Sorry, Congressman, I can't hear.
00:23:58I want you to take a look at these photos.
00:24:01Tell us five things that you see wrong with them.
00:24:03The tie is too flashy, the pants are too short, and overall, the photo screams one word, arrogance.
00:24:17She is incredible.
00:24:20She's the one.
00:24:24I was supposed to be divorcing him.
00:24:43But now I guess I'm working with them.
00:24:50Hi.
00:24:51Um, I'm Daniel Campbell.
00:24:54It's good to meet you.
00:24:55I am so happy to have you on the team.
00:24:58You're great.
00:24:59Um, would you like to get a coffee?
00:25:03Sure.
00:25:03Yeah?
00:25:04Yeah.
00:25:04Who is that guy?
00:25:17Can we fire that guy?
00:25:18What?
00:25:19Now, that's inappropriate.
00:25:20We can't fire people for no good reason.
00:25:22You know, that'll go against our team's reputation.
00:25:25Also, not to mention the upcoming campaign.
00:25:27Well, then keep a close eye on him.
00:25:29Okay?
00:25:29It's not part of my job.
00:25:30So, um, what happened here?
00:25:38Sorry.
00:25:43Accident.
00:25:48Oh.
00:25:50Why don't you get, um, cochlear implants?
00:25:53Cochlear implants for your ear?
00:25:55Too robotic?
00:25:59Interesting.
00:25:59The, uh, silence.
00:26:03Helps.
00:26:05You need work?
00:26:07Cool.
00:26:15I'm here at work, Campbell.
00:26:17It's my lunch break, Mr. Click.
00:26:19Right.
00:26:21Well, then, I think my new wardrobe consultant needs to check on her duties.
00:26:29Ring.
00:26:43Ring.
00:26:47Ring.
00:26:50Didn't you insist that we hide the fact that we're married?
00:26:56So why would I bother wearing a ring?
00:27:00Someone hitting on you.
00:27:05Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm a human too.
00:27:08I have a life.
00:27:13Oh, my God.
00:27:15I got you in the photo.
00:27:18Fucking asshole.
00:27:21Ariel, I'm sorry.
00:27:23I'm sorry.
00:27:26Ariel, I'm sorry.
00:27:39No, Ariel.
00:27:47Don't forget, I'm still paying your brother's medical bills.
00:27:56Marcus, I cannot believe you'd threaten me with my own brother.
00:28:00What happened to you?
00:28:02What happened to us?
00:28:04The more successful he becomes, the more he feels like a stranger.
00:28:14He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16.
00:28:17Don't worry, just hold on tight, and I'll always protect you.
00:28:34Marcus, how come you're always free to visit Johnny with me?
00:28:37Um, well, uh, your brother's my brother.
00:28:43When I get older, I'm going to protect you, okay?
00:28:48I promise.
00:28:48Stay.
00:29:17Stay.
00:29:18Congressman's sake.
00:29:25Forgive me for asking, but why have I never been introduced to your wife?
00:29:29Your competitors bring their spouses to events like this, and they do quite well for themselves.
00:29:34Right.
00:29:35Uh, but I don't consider my wife to be an accessory.
00:29:37She's her own person.
00:29:39And, uh, I don't need her chained to me at all times.
00:29:42You are the perfect husband.
00:29:45Pleasure.
00:29:46You again.
00:29:58Don't know how to quit, huh?
00:30:00Have you made up your mind?
00:30:01Are you divorcing your wife or not?
00:30:03Threats, huh?
00:30:04Go ahead.
00:30:04You're just going to want to regret this.
00:30:06I don't understand her to live a life that she chooses.
00:30:09And then you turn around and you treat her like a crop.
00:30:11You make me sick.
00:30:13How did you hear about this?
00:30:16Are you at the gala?
00:30:17Have you ever asked her what kind of wife she would like to live?
00:30:20Have you even asked her if she loves you?
00:30:22I swear to God, if you do anything to Ariel, I will kill you.
00:30:25I will make you regret it.
00:30:29Ariel!
00:30:33Ariel!
00:30:33Can you hear me?

00:30:55Oh, my God!
00:30:55Oh, my God!
00:30:55On the porch, she seemed to be on the phone.
00:31:19Was it her all along?
00:31:21Water.
00:31:25Why?
00:31:50It's not her.

00:35:54I really got to keep a close eye on her.
00:35:58Make sure she stays close to me.
00:36:01Sure enough, I'm never just your wife.
00:36:03I'm a pawn.
00:36:12So, we're going to have to make sure that everything is going to stick together.
00:36:15Oh, here we are.
00:36:17Hi, everybody.
00:36:18My name is Congressman Marcus Flick.
00:36:21And this is my team, okay?
00:36:22We came a long way to hear your thoughts.
00:36:24Please, guys, get them out there.
00:36:25I'm curious, what you plan to do about this drought we've been struggling these last 18 months?
00:36:32That's a great question.
00:36:34Off the noggin, I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been finding their way to Sacramento, but they haven't also been falling onto deaf ears.
00:36:43Marcus is so handsome, isn't he?
00:36:46He's the pride of California.
00:36:48The more stylish, well-dressed politician in the state, hands down.
00:36:52And such a perfect husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her.
00:36:56Perfect husband?
00:36:58These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick.
00:37:00What'd you say?
00:37:01Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:37:11Do you want to check on the horses?
00:37:16Awesome.
00:37:17Um, they're right over there.
00:37:18Okay.
00:37:25Come on, sweetie.
00:37:27Here, let me share.
00:37:31Looks like you two are having fun.
00:37:38Yeah, we are.
00:37:40If you want to pet a horse, I have one over here you can check out.
00:37:44This one's fine.
00:37:49Perfect.
00:37:50Congressman, can I get a shot of you two feeding the horse?
00:37:53Yeah, if you could feed the horse with her, please.
00:37:57This is great.
00:37:58Perfect.
00:38:00Yes.
00:38:01Yes.
00:38:03Oh, perfect.
00:38:10What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:38:14What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:38:16That's insane.
00:38:17But everyone is praising his kindness and sincerity.
00:38:21No one is even noticing everyone.
00:38:23The governor's campaign is coming up.
00:38:25We need to be careful.
00:38:26Careful.
00:38:27Simone, I thought I told you to handle your daughter.
00:38:42Congressman, we're moving on to the next activity.
00:38:45Okay.
00:38:46I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:38:49Now, just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:38:51Okay.
00:38:51Okay.
00:38:59He is a control freak.
00:39:03Yeah.
00:39:04The two new ones, what did they just release?
00:39:06Or are you still?
00:39:07So, I understand the likelihood of you guys actually being able to read this.
00:39:12This is pretty low.
00:39:14All of us, just trust me.
00:39:16It's the best for us.
00:39:18Marcus!
00:39:18Marcus!
00:39:18Are you, are you all right?
00:39:36Yeah, I'm all right.
00:39:38Are you hurt?
00:39:38I'm fine.
00:39:39I...
00:39:40Harold, Harold, can you hear me?
00:39:48No, I...
00:39:51I can't hear you.
00:39:53Ariel, if you can hear me, why are you answering my questions?
00:39:56I don't understand.
00:40:00Ariel, tell me the truth.
00:40:03Can you hear me?
00:40:10Why did you lie to me?
00:40:11No.
00:40:18Let go of me.
00:40:26How long have you had your hearing back, and when did you get your hearing back?
00:40:29Ariel, why did you lie to me?
00:40:35The day you wanted me dead.
00:40:38What are you talking about?
00:40:39The day my hearing came back was the day you wanted me dead.
00:40:42When did I want you dead?
00:40:44God, you really don't remember.
00:40:45The day I got kidnapped?
00:40:47The first thing I heard when I got my hearing back was you saying,
00:40:50call me back when she's a corpse.
00:40:55Oh, my God.
00:40:57The phone call.
00:40:59It wasn't, it wasn't just a spam call.
00:41:01Well, why didn't you tell me that you were kidnapped?
00:41:05Why didn't you tell me that you were in danger?
00:41:07Have you always been like this?
00:41:08Blaming everybody but yourself?
00:41:11Did you even care that I was in danger?
00:41:13Do you even see me as your wife?
00:41:15Because every day that I spend with you,
00:41:17I am trapped in a life that I did not choose.
00:41:19How was I supposed to know that the way I'm treating you is causing you so much pain?
00:41:23Please just let me go.
00:41:26I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:29Let me go.
00:41:29I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:33Remember?
00:41:34You really think that of me?
00:41:36Because I wasn't blind or heartless before, Marcus.
00:41:39I could still feel things I just couldn't hear.
00:41:47Ariel, please.
00:41:47Don't.
00:41:49Don't touch me.
00:41:53Ariel.
00:41:53Ariel.
00:41:59So, if you can actually hear her now.
00:42:10This is getting interesting.
00:42:12I'll see you guys.
00:42:29Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:52I've heard you can hear again.
00:42:54Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:57Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:59I've heard you can hear again.
00:43:01Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:43:02What the hell do you want?
00:43:04I thought you'd want to hear someone's voice.
00:43:06Come on, sweetie.
00:43:08Say hello to your dear brother.
00:43:10Johnny?
00:43:11No, please don't hurt him.
00:43:13I can't guarantee that.
00:43:15It depends on my mood.
00:43:17I'll give you anything you want.
00:43:18Just don't hurt him.
00:43:21What a deep love.
00:43:22That's touching.
00:43:24But you ruined my plan last time, remember?
00:43:26I swear to God, if you touch a hair on his head, I will make you pay.
00:43:30Oh, I'm not going to kill him.
00:43:33But as a punishment for your escape, I'm going to leave him in the mountains.
00:43:37I hope he's lucky enough to survive.
00:43:39Adrian, Amanda, the reality is we only have about eight weeks left of this campaign, so we need to lock in.
00:43:52Our goal is to get a hold of Sacramento, L.A., San Diego, all the official sprints.
00:43:59Johnny!
00:44:00Johnny, it's going to be okay.
00:44:01I'm here now.
00:44:02I'm here.
00:44:02It's okay.
00:44:02It's me.
00:44:03It's Ariel.
00:44:03I'm here.
00:44:04It's okay.
00:44:05It's okay.
00:44:05Congressman Flick, we found the woman in the unconscious now.
00:44:15Congressman Marcus?
00:44:18Marcus?
00:44:19Marcus, it's Johnny.
00:44:20There's something wrong, and I don't know what to do.
00:44:21I got you, okay?
00:44:22Don't panic.
00:44:23I'm going to take care of him.
00:44:24We need to get him to the hospital immediately.
00:44:26We're going to take a helicopter.
00:44:33Listen to me.
00:44:34Okay.
00:44:35He's going to go to the hospital.
00:44:36We're going to take care of him immediately.
00:44:38But you, you're hurt too.
00:44:39We need treatment.
00:44:42Congressman Flick, can you ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:47She's my...
00:44:48She's my wife.
00:44:53Can you ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:56She's my...
00:44:57She's...
00:44:59She's my wife.
00:45:03And the victim's my brother.
00:45:07This is your wife?
00:45:09Yes.
00:45:10And we need to get her to the hospital immediately.
00:45:12She's in shock.
00:45:14We'll talk about this later.
00:45:15Doctor, how's my brother?
00:45:29Doctor, how's my brother?
00:45:34The patient's stable.
00:45:36He's just a little shaken up.
00:45:37He'll be fine.
00:45:38He just needs rest.
00:45:39We appreciate your care.
00:45:41Thank you, doctor.
00:45:42Mr. Congressman Flick.
00:45:44It's an honor to serve you.
00:45:45We'll give him the best everything.
00:45:47Don't worry.
00:45:48We'll take good care of your family.
00:45:50Marcus, I don't know how...
00:45:57You ruined everything again!
00:46:00What?
00:46:00You ruined everything again!
00:46:03Your son's in a coma, and your daughter's injured, and you're just gonna come over here
00:46:06as they're pointing fingers in a hospital?
00:46:08Marcus, it's all over in the news.
00:46:09Ariel went and rescued Johnny today.
00:46:12If people find out she's in a relationship with you, it could ruin your chances of being governor.
00:46:16That's not the point.
00:46:18Okay, family?
00:46:19Family comes first.
00:46:20Don't misunderstand me.
00:46:21I care for Johnny.
00:46:23But he's out of danger now, and it's just a matter of time before he recovers.
00:46:27But you, you're in the middle of an election.
00:46:30One mistake can cost us everything.
00:46:32You care about election results, but I think you only care about your own profits, don't you?
00:46:37I'm telling you right now, you're gonna treat my wife with respect, or you're gonna have to leave.
00:46:42Now leave.
00:46:47I'll take it personally.
00:46:50How could I not?
00:46:51She's done this my whole life, regardless of if I could hear or not.
00:46:55That's the family I grew up in.
00:46:58Listen to me.
00:46:59You, me, Johnny.

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