00:00:00Can you believe they sent a death stylist?
00:00:09Who do they think are going to be wearing these haute couture designer pieces today?
00:00:20There he is, Mr. Congressman Marcus Blakeson.
00:00:35He's so handsome.
00:00:40Congressman Marcus is California's youngest and most promising political star.
00:00:45OMG, imagine dating someone that hot.
00:00:49His wife is actually a chester.
00:00:53My friend Tommy said he adores his wife so much, he never brings her to any public events to protect her from the media.
00:01:01Has anyone ever actually seen his wife?
00:01:15Let me just hang on.
00:01:43Okay.
00:01:48Go.
00:01:56We're married, but I'm just a pawn in his quest for power.
00:02:00In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:29I can hear.
00:02:41How can I?
00:02:43How can I hear?
00:02:45No security for a politician's wife.
00:02:50Feeling you was almost too easy.
00:02:53I'm kidnapped?
00:02:54Call your husband.
00:02:57Now.
00:03:00That's right.
00:03:01Your dad.
00:03:06Go on.
00:03:14Marcus.
00:03:15Marcus, please pick up the phone.
00:03:18Of course.
00:03:19Thank you, Congressman.
00:03:20Of course, absolutely.
00:03:30Hello?
00:03:33Hello?
00:03:34I have your wife.
00:03:35And you're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her.
00:03:42Hello?
00:03:43I have your wife.
00:03:45And if you don't do exactly what I say, I'm going to kill her.
00:03:49I don't have time for these games.
00:03:50Congressman Marcus.
00:03:52I truly cannot believe that you don't care about your wife's life.
00:03:56And I'm telling you, I get three or four of these scams a week, so why don't you go kick rocks?
00:04:00I'll tell you one more time.
00:04:01She's my hostage.
00:04:03Well, then call me when she's a corpse.
00:04:07Woo!
00:04:08That man is fucking cruel, you know that?
00:04:13Heartless politician.
00:04:14You know, if he doesn't care about whether or not you die, I guess it's my choice.
00:04:20And believe me, you're beautiful.
00:04:23It's a shame you're not going to know what you're dying for.
00:04:28Marcus, you motherfucker!
00:04:39Tom?
00:04:42That's all. I keep getting scam calls to my phone.
00:04:44I need you to check out the origin of the number.
00:04:46I've already checked this number a hundred times.
00:04:48I understand, but we need to make sure that my wife is safe.
00:04:50Copy that.
00:04:51Also, if you could just let Mr. Versace know I'll be right with him.
00:05:10What are you doing?
00:05:19No. Alcohol.
00:05:24Are you kidding me? Give me that.
00:05:33What is with the attitude?
00:05:40Hello?
00:05:42Mr. Flick, the call had an antispirant measure and it was too brief to trace.
00:05:47They also used a voice changer, so voice analyst is out.
00:05:51These people have no idea who they're dealing with.
00:05:54They really think that my wife is my weakness. Ridiculous.
00:05:59Marcus, I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you wanted me dead.
00:06:05Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel.
00:06:09And absolutely under no circumstances should she find out.
00:06:12Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work.
00:06:14Understood?
00:06:22I've rigged this phone against tracking. Your husband can't trace it.
00:06:27Marcus, marrying you three years ago for my sister was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:06:32Now that I have my hearing back, I'm going to make sure everything gets back on track.
00:06:46Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding.
00:06:49Take the dress off. Really?
00:06:52This is what you want, to be the wife of a politician?
00:06:55It's just like the dress. It's not even yours.
00:06:58Do I have a choice?
00:07:00Let's get things straight. I need to marry Rochester in order to secure my run for the house.
00:07:04Your sister runs off, so now you get to be the replacement.
00:07:12So, I'm really just a replacement to you?
00:07:21Yeah. Yeah, you are.
00:07:26Okay, let's establish a couple ground rules.
00:07:29One, I'm technically going to be married to Claire, so we have to conceal your identity.
00:07:34Two, you're not making any public appearances.
00:07:37And three, during our marriage, there are no children whatsoever. Okay?
00:07:43Are you listening?
00:07:45Why are you doing this to me?
00:07:49Because people like us are not afforded the choice.
00:07:54The choice.
00:08:04Ariel? Ariel, are you okay?
00:08:09Ariel?
00:08:11Ariel?
00:08:23Has Ariel recovered any of her hearing since that sudden deafness at the wedding?
00:08:28It's not so bad being deaf, Mrs. Flick.
00:08:30It spares Ariel from hearing anything that might damage Marcus' campaign for governor.
00:08:35Exactly.
00:08:36And when Marcus becomes governor, we might consider cosmetic surgery for Ariel.
00:08:42Make her look more like her sister.
00:08:44I'm sure the public will sympathize with Marcus that he has not abandoned his disabled wife.
00:08:50You're so wise, Mr. Flick. That's a brilliant strategy.
00:08:54You all seem more concerned about politics than the well-being of my wife.
00:08:58You really think it's appropriate gloating over her condition?
00:09:01I was just considering your career.
00:09:03While we're on the topic, as long as I'm married to Ariel,
00:09:05we're not going to be doing any reconstructive surgery to make her look like her sister.
00:09:09I'm not going to allow it.
00:09:11Why is he defending me now?
00:09:13On that note, we're going to be taking our leave.
00:09:29Stop.
00:09:34I'm visiting wildfire victims tomorrow, and I need your help picking an outfit.
00:09:41Remember, nothing too high profile.
00:09:54Not bad.
00:09:59Marcus.
00:10:04It's good that you couldn't hear what my parents said about you.
00:10:12I just want to thank you all for making the time to be here today.
00:10:14I think that's a big deal.
00:10:19I think it's important to just acknowledge that in spite of recent events...
00:10:26Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:10:43Our state goes through a lot of disasters.
00:10:45Mudslides, we deal with droughts, we deal with wildfires.
00:10:49In my understanding, over the last 40 years,
00:10:52a lot of things have built up to this moment.
00:10:55A lot of things that are perceived to bring us to...
00:11:04Just one moment, guys.
00:11:08Who is this?
00:11:09Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:11:14I don't think you've done your homework.
00:11:16My wife's name is Claire.
00:11:18No.
00:11:19When she ran away three years ago, you married Ariel to save your political career.
00:11:23What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:11:29What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:11:33Swapping wives between two sisters?
00:11:35I don't know my wife's name is Ariel.
00:11:38Tell me who the hell this is.
00:11:40It doesn't matter who I am.
00:11:41Divorce your wife, and...
00:11:42Your secret's out.
00:11:44Tell me who the hell this is.
00:11:46It doesn't matter who I am.
00:11:47Divorce your wife, and...
00:11:48Your secret's disappear with me.
00:11:50I mean, after all, she's just a substitute, and you hate her, so...
00:11:53It shouldn't really be a problem.
00:11:55There's no chance I'm divorcing Ariel.
00:11:57If anything's sick about it.
00:11:59I'll give you a month, or...
00:12:01I'll kill her.
00:12:06Kill her.
00:12:09It must be because Marcus is running for governor,
00:12:11so now he doesn't want to divorce me.
00:12:15Now I need a new plan.
00:12:29Mr. Flick, you're about to be on camera,
00:12:31and the press will definitely make a big deal of that moment.
00:12:35Tom, I want you to get me the best computer engineers in the world.
00:12:38We're gonna nail the bastards threatening Ariel.
00:12:41Copy that, sir.
00:12:42Also, I need you to make it a top priority that we find a fashion consultant,
00:12:47and also a fashion editor.
00:12:49I want someone who understands political messaging.
00:12:56Hi, Johnny.
00:13:07There are some things that can only be appreciated once they're gone.
00:13:10You know?
00:13:11I mean, I've lived the past three years of my life in a silent hell,
00:13:14and now life has given me a second chance to hear again.
00:13:20This time...
00:13:23I'm gonna live for myself.
00:13:27This time...
00:13:30I'm gonna live for myself.
00:13:34Johnny, you're my guardian angel, you know that, right?
00:13:38I mean, I know that when Mom married into the Rochester family,
00:13:41they wouldn't accept you because of your...
00:13:45differences, but...
00:13:47I need you to know that I would never give up on you.
00:13:52Ever.
00:13:55Okay?
00:14:07Okay.
00:14:25Dr. Park, is it possible to regain hearing in a case like my wife's?
00:14:29Is it treatable with surgery?
00:14:31Her sudden deafness was triggered by a severe shock.
00:14:34We can attempt surgery, but I must be honest,
00:14:37the chances of success are very slim.
00:14:40If it works, it would be absolutely close to a miracle.
00:14:44It's just something that doesn't happen very often.
00:14:47I'm so sorry.
00:14:50I know it's not the news you wanted to hear.
00:14:55We're doing everything we can, okay?
00:14:56Okay.
00:14:59There we go.
00:15:04Learn to please your husband and have a baby ASAP.
00:15:35Tom.
00:15:36The manager sent me a few photos.
00:15:38I need you to trace them.
00:15:39Yes, sir.
00:15:40Keep them on the line for more than five minutes for better tracking.
00:16:05Did you see that?
00:16:06It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:16:09She's cheating on you.
00:16:11My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:16:15It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:16:18She's cheating on you.
00:16:20My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:16:22Why? You don't think she's attractive enough?
00:16:25No, I think she's quite attractive, actually.
00:16:28I just know her.
00:16:30And she wouldn't betray her promises.
00:16:33You know, those photos you sent.
00:16:35The faces are unrecognizable.
00:16:37How are you so confident that they're my wife?
00:16:39Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife so well?
00:16:41Vera has a birthmark on her chest.
00:16:43Surely you're familiar with it.
00:16:45How do you know about the birthmark?
00:16:46Who are you?
00:16:47It doesn't matter who I am.
00:16:49Hear my demands.
00:16:50Divorce your wife or this provocative photo goes public.
00:16:53I'll claim that the perfect congressman can't satisfy his wife.
00:16:57Leaving her to find happiness elsewhere.
00:17:00What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:07What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:10Damn, I haven't thought of that.
00:17:12I hate her.
00:17:13I can't stand seeing her live such a privileged life.
00:17:16Well, I'm not going to indulge your twisted desires.
00:17:19She's my wife and I'm going to protect her.
00:17:21Don't act like you really love her.
00:17:23You're just worried that a divorce would hurt your political image.
00:17:26You think you know me so well.
00:17:28If you love someone, you don't trap them in a political sham marriage, you hypocrite.
00:17:34Hello?
00:17:36Hello?
00:17:38This man is too complicated to understand.
00:17:46No, sir, we've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software.
00:17:49You know, it's only been traced in the general area.
00:17:53Okay, go ahead.
00:17:54Your phone's location is within a five-mile radius.
00:17:58Which includes your house, sir.
00:18:05Ariel.
00:18:07She's in danger.
00:18:28Are you mad at me?
00:18:54You mad at me?
00:18:58Ariel.
00:18:59Don't!
00:19:01Okay.
00:19:02I won't touch you.
00:19:03I won't touch you.
00:19:22We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image-making
00:19:26and understands how each garment can tell a compelling story.
00:19:33Ariel.
00:19:40Mom, what are you doing?
00:19:42That's my work.
00:19:43Instead of focusing on this garbage,
00:19:45why don't you learn how to dress nicely so you can catch a good man like your sister did?
00:19:49Mom, clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men.
00:19:53I can't believe you just said that.
00:19:55Ariel, you're going to stop chasing these fanciful dreams.
00:19:59Do you remember where you came from?
00:20:01Without my marriage into the Rochester family,
00:20:03you wouldn't even have the money to attend a private school and focus on this nonsense.
00:20:08If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me.
00:20:12Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband.
00:20:16Just like I did.
00:20:32Well, the worst I could say is no.
00:20:42As long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer,
00:20:46I'm ready to work for anyone.
00:20:49I can't let anybody, especially him, find out I can hear again.
00:20:53I have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly.
00:20:57Maybe using text to speech is the best.
00:21:01I don't know.
00:21:13My name is Ariel Anderson.
00:21:14I graduated from the School of Visual Art with a degree in fashion design.
00:21:17I lost my hearing due to an accident three years ago.
00:21:19Unfortunately, a hearing aid won't really help.
00:21:22Therefore, I'd appreciate it if you could use pen and paper for communication.
00:21:25I assure you I can keep up.
00:21:27I'm concerned that her hearing might affect her performance.
00:21:30A disabled woman will make our campaign team look more diverse and socially responsible.
00:21:35The board is within better of us.
00:21:37I hear both of your concerns, however.
00:21:39But the reality is we only need a wardrobe consultant that's qualified.
00:21:45The congressman needs to attend an unscheduled event.
00:21:48Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:21:50Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:21:59Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:22:14Is she modifying it just by eye?
00:22:21Congressman Flick, may I ask you to try it on?
00:22:39Five feet, nine inches tall, 165 pounds.
00:22:42Chest, 33.6 inches.
00:22:44Waist, 32.9 inches.
00:22:47Chest, 33.6 inches.
00:22:49Waist, 32.9 inches.
00:22:51Hips, 35.7 inches.
00:22:53These are the congressman's measurements and I'm confident that they're accurate.
00:22:56That's entirely correct.
00:22:59True.
00:23:00But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:09But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:13Sorry, congressman. I can't hear.
00:23:19I want you to take a look at these photos.
00:23:21Tell us five things that you see wrong with them.
00:23:33The tie is too flashy. The pants are too short.
00:23:35And overall, the photo screams one word. Arrogance.
00:23:39She is incredible.
00:23:44She's the one.
00:23:50Congrats.
00:23:51Welcome.
00:24:01I was supposed to be divorcing him, but now I guess I'm working with him.
00:24:09Hi, I'm Daniel Campbell.
00:24:13It's good to meet you.
00:24:15I'm so happy to have you on the team.
00:24:17You're great.
00:24:19Would you like to get a coffee?
00:24:22Sure.
00:24:23Yeah?
00:24:24Yeah.
00:24:34Who is that guy?
00:24:35Can we fire that guy?
00:24:36What?
00:24:37No, that's inappropriate. We can't fire people for no good reason.
00:24:40That'll go against our team's reputation.
00:24:43Also, not to mention the upcoming campaign.
00:24:46Well, then keep a close eye on him, okay?
00:24:48That's not part of my job.
00:24:52So, um, what happened?
00:24:54Your...
00:24:56Party.
00:25:01Accident.
00:25:07I know.
00:25:08Why don't you get, um, cochlear implants?
00:25:11Cochlear implants for your ear?
00:25:13Too... robotic?
00:25:17Interesting.
00:25:18The... silence.
00:25:22Helps.
00:25:24You need work?
00:25:26Cool.
00:25:28What are you doing here?
00:25:36I'm here to work, Campbell.
00:25:38It's my lunch break, Mr. Flick.
00:25:40Right.
00:25:42Well, then.
00:25:43I think my new wardrobe consultant needs to check on her duties.
00:25:57Ring.
00:26:05Ring.
00:26:12Didn't you insist that we hide the fact that we're married?
00:26:14So why would I bother wearing a ring?
00:26:18Someone hitting on you.
00:26:23Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm a human too.
00:26:25I have a life.
00:26:28People.
00:26:32Oh, my God.
00:26:33Oh, my God, it's you in the photo.
00:26:36Fucking asshole.
00:26:38I'm sorry.
00:26:39I'm sorry.
00:26:41I'm sorry!
00:26:52Erica.
00:26:54I'm sorry.
00:26:57No, Ariel.
00:27:06Don't forget.
00:27:07I'm still paying your brother's medical bills.
00:27:15Marcus, I cannot believe you threatened me with my own brother.
00:27:19What happened to you?
00:27:21What happened to us?
00:27:27The more successful he becomes,
00:27:29the more he feels like a stranger.
00:27:32He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16.
00:27:47Don't worry.
00:27:48Just hold on tight.
00:27:49I'll always protect you.
00:27:51Marcus.
00:27:53How come you're always free to visit Johnny with me?
00:27:56Um...
00:27:58Well, your brother's my brother.
00:28:01When I get older, I'm going to protect you, okay?
00:28:05I promise.
00:28:26Stay.
00:28:31Congressman Flick.
00:28:34Forgive me for asking,
00:28:35but why have I never been introduced to your wife?
00:28:38Your competitors bring their spouses to events like this,
00:28:41and they do quite well for themselves.
00:28:43Right.
00:28:44But I don't consider my wife to be an accessory.
00:28:46She's her own person.
00:28:47She's my wife.
00:28:48She's my wife.
00:28:49She's my wife.
00:28:50She's my wife.
00:28:51She's my wife.
00:28:52She's my wife.
00:28:53She's my wife.
00:28:54She's her own person.
00:28:55And, uh, it'll need her chain to me at all times.
00:28:58You are the perfect husband.
00:29:02Pleasure.
00:29:14You again.
00:29:15Don't know how to quit, huh?
00:29:16Have you made up your mind?
00:29:17Are you divorcing your wife or not?
00:29:19Threats, huh?
00:29:20Go ahead.
00:29:21You're just going to want to regret this.
00:29:22I don't understand you.
00:29:23You say you love your wife,
00:29:24and you want her to live a life that she chooses.
00:29:26And then you turn around and you treat her like a prop.
00:29:29You make me sick.
00:29:30How did you hear about this?
00:29:34Were you at the gala?
00:29:35Have you ever asked her what kind of life she would like to live?
00:29:38Have you even asked her if she loves you?
00:29:40I swear to God, if you do anything to Ariel, I will kill you.
00:29:43I will make you regret it.
00:29:47Ariel!
00:29:53Ariel!
00:29:58Can you hear me?
00:29:59Have you recovered your hearing?
00:30:00Stop!
00:30:01Why did you turn around when I just called your name?
00:30:07Have you found the phone?
00:30:10Oh, my God.
00:30:13Gas leak!
00:30:14Oh, my God!
00:30:24On the porch, she seemed to be on the phone.
00:30:28Was it her all along?
00:30:30Water.
00:30:54Why?
00:31:09It's not her.
00:31:17Explain!
00:31:19Just friends.
00:31:20Friends?
00:31:23I'm going to bed.
00:31:25Ariel.
00:31:29I'm jealous, okay?
00:31:30I'm sorry, I'm jealous.
00:31:32I'm jealous of what you and Daniel have.
00:31:49I'm sorry.
00:32:12What?
00:32:14Sleep.
00:32:16Yeah, but you're my wife.
00:32:28Sometimes I forget that you can't hear me.
00:32:32It's crazy that we've been married for three years,
00:32:35and I feel like you hate me more and more.
00:32:40You hate me for being in this marriage, but
00:32:42if you're not with me, how can I protect you?
00:32:45I don't want you to be the perfect wife.
00:32:47You don't need to be the perfect daughter-in-law.
00:32:50I just want you to do what you love.
00:32:54I'm the one stuck in this family.
00:32:58And that's enough.
00:33:04Marcus, I can't see you clearly.
00:33:07Sometimes you're cold and cruel, but other times
00:33:10you sound like you love me.
00:33:13Which one is the real you?
00:33:24Sorry I'm late, everybody.
00:33:25Once dinner, I'm going to be ready.
00:33:28Enough with the carbs, Marcus.
00:33:30Your body shape reflects the family you come from.
00:33:33You don't want to end up obese like one of those poor people, do you?
00:33:36Sorry, Mom.
00:33:58There we go.
00:34:00You made PB&J, my favorite.
00:34:02There we go.
00:34:04You made PB&J, my favorite.
00:35:03Help with clothes?
00:35:15I really got to keep a close eye on her.
00:35:19Make sure she stays close to me.
00:35:21Sure enough, I'm never just your wife.
00:35:24I'm a pawn.
00:35:32So we're going to have to make sure that everything is going to stick together.
00:35:35Oh, here we are.
00:35:37Hi, everybody.
00:35:38My name is Congressman Marcus Flick, and this is my team, okay?
00:35:42We came a long way to hear your thoughts.
00:35:44Please, guys, get them out there.
00:35:46Well, I'm curious.
00:35:47What you plan to do about this drought we've been struggling with these last 18 months?
00:35:52That's a great question.
00:35:55Off the noggin, I think it's important to focus on what we're doing.
00:35:59Off the noggin, I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been finding their way to Sacramento,
00:36:06but they have also been falling onto deaf ears.
00:36:09Marcus is so handsome, isn't he?
00:36:11He's the pride of California.
00:36:13He's the most stylish, well-dressed politician in the state, hands down.
00:36:18And such a perfect husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her.
00:36:21Perfect husband?
00:36:23These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick.
00:36:26What'd you say?
00:36:30Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:36:39Do you want to check on the horses?
00:36:44Um, they're right over there.
00:36:54Come on, sweetie.
00:36:55Here, let me show you.
00:37:00Hehehe.
00:37:04Looks like you two are having fun.
00:37:06Yeah, we are.
00:37:08If you want to pet a horse, I have one over here you can check out.
00:37:12This one's fine.
00:37:17Perfect. Congressman, can I get a shot of you two feeding the horse?
00:37:21Yeah, if you could feed the horse with her, please.
00:37:25This is great. Perfect.
00:37:28Yes, yes.
00:37:31Oh, perfect.
00:37:38What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:37:44What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:37:46That's insane.
00:37:47But everyone is praising his kindness and sincerity.
00:37:51No one is even noticing everything.
00:37:53The governor's campaign is coming up.
00:37:55You need to be careful.
00:38:03Simone, I thought I told you to handle your daughter.
00:38:12Congressman, we're moving on to the next activity.
00:38:15Okay, I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:38:18Just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:38:21Okay.
00:38:25Okay.
00:38:30He is a control freak.
00:38:42So, I understand the likelihood of you guys actually being able to read this is pretty low.
00:38:50Marcus!
00:38:56Marcus!
00:39:09Are you all right?
00:39:11Yeah, I'm all right. Are you hurt?
00:39:14I'm fine. I...
00:39:21Ariel. Ariel, can you hear me?
00:39:25No, I can't hear you.
00:39:28Ariel, if you can hear me, why are you answering my questions?
00:39:31I don't understand.
00:39:35Ariel, tell me the truth.
00:39:38Can you hear me?
00:39:45Why did you lie to me?
00:39:56Let go of me!
00:39:58How long have you had your hearing back, and when did you get your hearing back?
00:40:01Ariel, why did you lie to me?
00:40:07The day you wanted me dead.
00:40:12What are you talking about? What are you talking about?
00:40:14The day my hearing came back was the day you wanted me dead.
00:40:17When did I want you dead?
00:40:19God, you really don't remember? The day I got kidnapped?
00:40:22God, you really don't remember? The day I got kidnapped?
00:40:25The first thing I heard when I got my hearing back was you saying,
00:40:29call me back when she's a corpse.
00:40:33Oh, my God.
00:40:35The phone call.
00:40:37It wasn't... It wasn't just a spam call.
00:40:41Why didn't you tell me that you were kidnapped?
00:40:43Why didn't you tell me that you were in danger?
00:40:45Have you always been like this? Blaming everybody but yourself?
00:40:49Did you even care that I was in danger? Do you even see me as your wife?
00:40:52Because every day that I spend with you, I am trapped in a life that I did not choose.
00:40:57How was I supposed to know that the way I'm treating you is causing you so much pain?
00:41:01Please just let me go.
00:41:03I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:08Please just let me go.
00:41:10I'm just a replacement for my sister. Remember?
00:41:14You really think that of me?
00:41:16Because I wasn't blind or heartless before, Marcus.
00:41:19I could still feel things, I just couldn't hear.
00:41:27Ariel, please.
00:41:28Don't.
00:41:30Don't touch me.
00:41:33Ariel!
00:41:47So, she can actually hear now.
00:41:51This is getting interesting.
00:42:16Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:35I've heard you can hear again.
00:42:37Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:42Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:44I've heard you can hear again.
00:42:46Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:48What the hell do you want?
00:42:49I thought you'd want to hear someone's voice.
00:42:52Come on, sweetie. Say hello to your dear brother.
00:42:55Johnny?
00:42:56No, please don't hurt him.
00:42:58Oh, well, I can't guarantee that. It depends on my mood.
00:43:02Look, if you do anything you want, just don't hurt him.
00:43:06What a deep love.
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.
00:43:31Adrian, Amanda, the reality is we only have about eight weeks left of this campaign.
00:43:36So we need to lock in.
00:43:38Our goal is to get ahold of Sacramento, L.A., San Diego.
00:43:41All the official sprints.
00:43:47Johnny?
00:43:48Johnny?
00:43:49Johnny?
00:43:50Johnny?
00:43:51Johnny, it's going to be okay.
00:43:52I'm here now. I'm here.
00:43:53It's okay, it's me.
00:43:54It's Ariel. I'm here.
00:43:55It's okay. It's okay.
00:43:56I'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 the woman in the unconscious now.
00:44:06Congressman Marcus?
00:44:08Marcus?
00:44:09Marcus, it's Johnny. There's something wrong and I don't know what to do.
00:44:12I got you, okay? Don't panic. I'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.
00:44:24Listen to me, okay?
00:44:26He's going to go to the hospital. We're going to take care of him immediately.
00:44:29But you're hurt too. You need treatment.
00:44:32Congressman Flick, can I ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:37She's my...
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. She's in shock.
00:45:06We'll talk about this later.
00:45:23Doctor.
00:45:25How's my brother?
00:45:26The patient's stable. He's just a little shaken up.
00:45:29He'll be fine. He just needs rest.
00:45:31We appreciate your care.
00:45:33Thank you, Doctor.
00:45:34Mr. Congressman Flick, it's an honor to serve you.
00:45:37We'll give him the best of everything.
00:45:39Don't worry. We'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 going to come over here as our pointing fingers in a hospital?
00:46:02Marcus, it's all over the news. Ariel 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? Family...
00:46:13Family comes first.
00:46:14Don't misunderstand me. I care for Johnny.
00:46:17But he's out of danger now, and it's just a matter of time before he recovers.
00:46:21But you...
00:46:22You're in the middle of an election!
00:46:24One mistake can cost us everything!
00:46:26You care about election results,
00:46:28but I think you only care about your own profits, don't you?
00:46:31I'm telling you right now, you're going to treat my wife with respect,
00:46:34or you're going to have to leave.
00:46:36Now leave.
00:46:43Don't take it personally.
00:46:44How could I not?
00:46:45She's done this my whole life, regardless of if I could hear or not.
00:46:49That's the family I grew up with.
00:46:52Listen to me.
00:46:53You, me, Johnny...
00:46:58We're each other's family.
00:47:24Yes?
00:47:25You know, this is the first phone call we've had since you...
00:47:28Since you lost your hearing three years ago?
00:47:30Yeah.
00:47:32First call.
00:47:34Yeah.
00:47:36Wait.
00:47:37Is this...
00:47:38the first...
00:47:39Did you call in another line?
00:47:40No, uh, no. That's not what I meant.
00:47:43How did you know Johnny was in danger today?
00:47:46I don't know.
00:47:47I just...
00:47:48Uh, 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.
00:47:57So...
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 going to protect Johnny.
00:48:05I guess I...
00:48:06How exciting.
00:48:09Dang it, Johnny, I was just... I was so scared.
00:48:11I can't imagine what I would do if anything happened to him.
00:48:15He's my only family left.
00:48:19Open the door.
00:48:25Open the door.
00:48:49Wait, wait.
00:48:53You know, I would have gone crazy if anything happened to you today.
00:48:57Thank you...
00:48:59Marcus...
00:49:01for everything.
00:49:03Come to the office tomorrow.
00:49:05I got something to share with you.
00:49:12Hey.
00:49:14I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:17Why?
00:49:21I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:24Why?
00:49:25Because I've been pushing you too much.
00:49:27And you need to follow your dreams.
00:49:32Here.
00:49:34What's this?
00:49:35This is the key to a design studio in downtown.
00:49:40I raised three million in capital just for you.
00:49:42It's all yours.
00:49:44Are you serious?
00:49:45I'm not joking.
00:49:46And...
00:49:47I need you to promise me something, okay?
00:49:49Please do not tell your mom or anybody that you can hear now.
00:49:52It's probably best that they're not judging us.
00:49:57Okay, um...
00:49:59I have something for you too.
00:50:03What is this?
00:50:05Um...
00:50:06For the past three years, I have been documenting some of your looks.
00:50:10It's just some ideas, designs, and things.
00:50:16It's perfect.
00:50:20Come here.
00:50:30Come in.
00:50:33Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:41Come in.
00:50:43Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:46Okay, go ahead.
00:50:54Well, your governor's campaign has hit a critical phase.
00:50:59But your support is slipping.
00:51:01And meanwhile, Stephen Hopkins, his approval ratings are climbing.
00:51:09I have it under control.
00:51:10I have it under control.
00:51:11Under control?
00:51:12I don't see any progress in that.
00:51:15You 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, boosting his appeal.
00:51:28If you want to gain ground, Marcus, you need to present the image of a flawless family.
00:51:41Okay.
00:51:44Dress like Claire and join Marcus at campaign events?
00:51:53You won't do it?
00:51:55No.
00:52:08Father Ariel?
00:52:09She is herself.
00:52:10She's not imitating her sister.
00:52:12She's not going to pretend to be anyone else in order to win political votes.
00:52:15You ungrateful son of a bitch!
00:52:19We gave you everything!
00:52:21Resources, training, this position, and this?
00:52:26This is how you're going to disobey us?
00:52:28This is my wife, okay?
00:52:30Insulting her is disrespecting me!
00:52:32Respect?
00:52:35You, you are nothing without the flick name.
00:52:39Nothing!
00:52:43You, you are nothing!
00:52:47Everything 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 to win political games!
00:52:58That is my boundary.
00:52:59A true politician has no soft spots, Marcus.
00:53:03Well, if being a successful politician means using the people I love, then I'll give it all up.
00:53:09How can you say that, Marcus?
00:53:11This is ridiculous!
00:53:14If we'd have known, we never would have picked you up at the orphanage.
00:53:19Never!
00:53:20Marcus is adopted.
00:53:23Let's go.
00:53:26Well, I'm sorry I wasn't the perfect son!
00:53:38Marcus, 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.
00:54:03I already signed it.
00:54:07But the campaign just started and now you want a divorce?
00:54:11You see, somebody called me and they told me that if you love someone, you do not trap them in a political marriage.
00:54:21Ariel, I thought I was protecting you.
00:54:24But I was just helping myself.
00:54:27I was preventing you from what you wanted because I thought it was going to hurt you.
00:54:32But I was being a hypocrite.
00:54:36And 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.
00:54:52Now, at least one of us gets to be free.
00:55:08Okay.
00:55:38Congressman Marcus Flick to deliver inspiring election pep talk in Southern California.
00:55:44Congressman?
00:56:08Congressman?
00:56:09Do you know what a mistake you've made?
00:56:13Congressman, 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.
00:56:20What are you saying? Aren't you afraid of being overheard?
00:56:23Ariel, can I talk dirty to my wife?
00:56:27Stop being slick. I, um, I made you a coat.
00:56:32For the rally tomorrow. Hope you like it.
00:56:35Wait, a trench coat? Isn't that too flashy?
00:56:37No, the suit cliche thing is so over. People 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 see you. And, uh, I miss you.
00:56:52Okay, well, that's enough out of you. But...
00:56:57Fine, I miss you too.
00:57:11Sir, a package arrived for you.
00:57:26Oh, 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 the studio right now, okay?
00:57:39I'm on it, Congressman. Your supporters are waiting for you.
00:57:41You need to get on stage now.
00:57:43No, they can wait. I'm going to 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 going to go check on her right now.
00:57:57Tell me if anything changes.
00:58:01Thanks for having me, everybody. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:58:04Uh, I think, as dark as it is, we're going to have a great night, everybody.
00:58:13Oh, my God. There's water everywhere.
00:58:16There's water everywhere. Oh, my God, help!
00:58:22Oh, my God. There's water everywhere.
00:58:25There's water everywhere. Oh, my God, help!
00:58:28Somebody help me! Help, please!
00:58:35Johnny?
00:58:39Johnny?
00:58:41Johnny, wake up. That's not funny.
00:58:43Johnny, wake up. Oh, my God.
00:58:45Johnny, look at you. This is all your fault.
00:58:48Johnny, you're nothing but a curse.
00:58:51Oh, my God, is he breathing? Johnny?
00:58:53Johnny, can you hear me? It's all your fault.
00:58:55Oh, my God, it's my fault.
00:58:57Oh, my God. Johnny, Johnny, I need you.
00:59:00Help! Help!
00:59:12Pick up the phone. Turn it on.
00:59:20What do you want with me?
00:59:27You'll find out soon enough.
00:59:29Thanks for having me, everybody. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:59:37Oh, how sweet.
00:59:40You think the congressman knows his wife is just a breath away from death?
00:59:46You want to give him a present?
00:59:49Paula, no.
00:59:53Oh, you want me to do it?
00:59:56Fine.
00:59:58You're welcome.
01:00:00No, Marcus, don't answer.
01:00:04My goal is to increase economic growth by 20%,
01:00:07all while tackling homelessness and reducing crime.
01:00:13Sir.
01:00:22Marcus, I'm so sorry. I love you. I lied to you.
01:00:25No, Ariel. Ariel, where are you?
01:00:27I lied to you about the phone calls.
01:00:29I thought I could protect you.
01:00:31But now I think that maybe if I'd just been honest with you all along,
01:00:34none of this would have ever happened.
01:00:36Ariel, please stay on the phone, okay? Just tell me where you...
01:00:38To Rivertown Park. Come alone. No cops, or she dies.
01:00:46I gotta go.
01:00:47Congressman, this is a live mission. Why?
01:00:49You can't just leave now.
01:00:53I gotta go.
01:01:03Well, that's so sweet.
01:01:05He's actually abandoning his campaign to save you.
01:01:09No, you can have all my money. Just don't make Marcus come here.
01:01:12Shut up.
01:01:16This isn't about money. This is about me and Marcus.
01:01:21Wait a minute. Your voice.
01:01:24I know your voice.
01:01:26You haven't figured it out by now?
01:01:28It doesn't matter.
01:01:30You'll be dead soon anyway.
01:01:39Ariel!
01:01:51Why? Why?
01:01:54Ariel!
01:01:59Ariel!
01:02:03Ariel, I'm coming!
01:02:08Please.
01:02:10Ariel!
01:02:13Please pick up. Please pick up. Please pick up.
01:02:16Oh, my God.
01:02:25Ariel!
01:02:43Ariel!
01:02:45Oh, my God.
01:02:47Ariel!
01:02:49It's okay. It's okay.
01:02:51Ariel, I'm gonna get you home.
01:02:59Marcus, behind you!
01:03:13It's you?
01:03:16It's you?
01:03:29It's you?
01:03:32It's you?
01:03:37But we were friends.
01:03:40You approached me.
01:03:42After years of digging and searching,
01:03:45I uncovered the real secrets about your perfect marriage.
01:03:49Yeah, I kidnapped you once you got away.
01:03:52You stole my phone, too, so I had to get closer.
01:03:55I joined your campaign team.
01:03:57Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't track the threatening calls you were getting?
01:04:02That's because your culprit was right there on your I.T. team.
01:04:06How blind can you be?
01:04:09This is all because you're trying to sabotage my campaign?
01:04:12It's not even worth it!
01:04:14Look at my face!
01:04:16Do you even recognize me?
01:04:18Do you know who I am?
01:04:20Of course you don't.
01:04:22Let me remind you.
01:04:24Fifteen years ago,
01:04:26you were the only woman I ever loved.
01:04:29You were the only woman I ever loved.
01:04:32You were the only woman I ever loved.
01:04:35You were the only woman I ever loved.
01:04:38Fifteen years ago,
01:04:40the orphanage, your best...
01:04:42friend.
01:04:48No.
01:04:52No, no, it can't be.
01:04:54Yeah.
01:04:55Yeah, Marcus, it is.
01:05:05No.
01:05:08No, no, it can't be.
01:05:10Yeah.
01:05:11Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:05:13Hey, where's my money, huh?
01:05:15I don't have it.
01:05:16Where's my cash?
01:05:17I don't have anything.
01:05:18Hey, leave him alone!
01:05:21Leave him alone!
01:05:24You okay?
01:05:26What happened?
01:05:28He called me a fat pig.
01:05:30Ignore them.
01:05:31They're just jerks.
01:05:33Thanks, Marcus.
01:05:34Can I hang out with you?
01:05:36Of course.
01:05:37We're friends now.
01:05:40Sean, what happened to you?
01:05:42You've changed.
01:05:43You recognize me now?
01:05:46Noble congressman,
01:05:47or should I say you're an orphan nobody wanted?
01:05:50You keep that a secret from your voters, too?
01:05:52Sean, why do you hate me?
01:05:53We were friends.
01:05:55Why do you hate me?
01:05:56Why are you targeting Ariel?
01:05:57Friends?
01:05:58You stole everything from me, Marcus.
01:06:01That stage you parade around on.
01:06:04This life of power and respect belonged to me, not to you.
01:06:12And at first, I'd let it go.
01:06:13I wanted to let it go.
01:06:15But every time I turned on the TV,
01:06:17I saw you parading around this perfect life,
01:06:19and it wasn't fair.
01:06:21The Flicks chose Marcus.
01:06:22Shut up!
01:06:23The Flicks chose me.
01:06:25But on adoption day, yeah, you remember,
01:06:28I got sick from the cake you gave me.
01:06:30I was at the hospital with food poisoning,
01:06:32so they took you instead.
01:06:34Sean, I went back to the orphanage.
01:06:36I spoke to the dean,
01:06:37and he said that you were adopted by a loving family,
01:06:40that you were happy.
01:06:41Happy?
01:06:43I was adopted into a nightmare.
01:06:46A couple that divorced and left me out to rot.
01:06:49What about that is happy?
01:06:53Sean, I'm sorry for what you went through,
01:06:55but revenge is not the way.
01:06:57We gotta figure this out together.
01:06:58Figure it out?
01:06:59What are we gonna figure out, Marcus?
01:07:01I spent years suffering,
01:07:03watching you live my life.
01:07:05We are never figuring it out.
01:07:12Hold on!
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.
01:07:28I 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,
01:07:33please don't let the hatred consume you.
01:07:39You were always a saint, Marcus.
01:07:41Marcus, look out!
01:07:46Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
01:07:47Are you okay?
01:07:48Perfect.
01:07:51You get to die in front of the one you love the most.
01:07:56My revenge is complete.
01:07:59Daniel, don't! You don't need to...
01:08:05It's okay. You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:08:08It's gonna be okay. I'm fine.
01:08:10I'm fine.
01:08:14Daniel, you don't need to...
01:08:19It's okay. You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:08:22It's gonna be okay. I'm fine.
01:08:23You're okay.
01:08:25I need you to stay with me, okay?
01:08:27Uh-uh.
01:08:30I love you, and I need you to hang in there, okay?
01:08:32I love you.
01:08:33Don't say that right now.
01:08:34Please, just hold that for later.
01:08:36We're gonna say that later, okay?
01:08:37We're gonna get out of here. Do you trust me?
01:08:39I trust you.
01:08:429-1-1, come to the lake.
01:08:44Now. Marcus Cook is dying.
01:08:46Move.
01:08:56Ariel?
01:08:59Claire?
01:09:02Why are you here?
01:09:05I've been living abroad.
01:09:06Marcus and I have been talking, keeping in touch over the last couple years,
01:09:11and his assistant told me that he was hospitalized, so I saw him.
01:09:15I didn't realize you and Marcus still talked. I thought, um...
01:09:20You don't know that...
01:09:22Why he married you instead of me?
01:09:25I don't know.
01:09:32Claire.
01:09:33If you're trying to convince me to stay, don't bother.
01:09:36Claire, I admire your courage to lead the life you want.
01:09:39I don't want to be a pawn for the family's games anymore.
01:09:43I want to be free.
01:09:45I know.
01:09:46I'm not gonna hold you back anymore.
01:09:48But you gotta do one thing for me.
01:09:50Can you please tell your parents?
01:09:52Can you please tell them to let Ariel marry me?
01:09:56Marcus chose me?
01:10:00Marcus chose me?
01:10:02He knew that Simone would marry you off for money if he couldn't.
01:10:06He married you to protect you.
01:10:08And if he acted indifferent, it's only because he didn't want you to get too attached.
01:10:13Why didn't he just say that?
01:10:15You know, Marcus...
01:10:18He can't admit his feelings very easily.
01:10:20But his love, it's...
01:10:23It's deeper than anyone's.
01:10:27So...
01:10:30He doesn't know that I've been in love with him since we were children?
01:10:33It's always been you, Ariel.
01:10:37Ever since we were children, it's only ever been you.
01:10:41He's always loved you.
01:10:51Marcus, you really are the dumbest asshole in the world. You know that, right?
01:10:58Why didn't you tell me you married me to protect me?
01:11:01Why were you so cold? Why did you...
01:11:07Why did you pretend you hated me?
01:11:10Because none of it worked.
01:11:14I still love you.
01:11:17Of course I still love you.
01:11:20I need you. You can't leave me, okay?
01:11:28Take this ring.
01:11:31Take it.
01:11:34And put it on my finger again. I just...
01:11:39I need to hear you say that you love me.
01:11:44Marcus...
01:11:49Marcus...
01:12:00Marcus...
01:12:03You're awake.
01:12:13This...
01:12:14This ring wasn't left behind by your sister.
01:12:18It was made custom for you.
01:12:22It's unique just like you.
01:12:25It just wasn't the right time to give it to you before.
01:12:29Because you were mad and...
01:12:31And I'm sorry.
01:12:34Marcus, are you always this overdramatic?
01:12:38Yes.
01:12:39And it's because I think you're the only one who can handle me.
01:12:48Uh...
01:12:55Miss Ariel Rochester...
01:13:00Will you still...
01:13:04Will you still marry me?
01:13:07Yes.
01:13:09I will.
01:13:17Come here.
01:13:23Come here.
01:13:35Stop it! Stop! I'm not kidding!
01:13:39Don't be so naughty, Governor.
01:13:42I like it when you're naughty.
01:14:00I want to take a moment to thank my parents,
01:14:03and my campaign team,
01:14:05and all my friends out there
01:14:07who've carried me through every challenge.
01:14:10But above all,
01:14:12I want to thank my wife.
01:14:15Ariel Rochester.
01:14:18With strength, courage, and love,
01:14:21I wouldn't be alive without today.
01:14:25This woman is not only my wife,
01:14:28she is the dream that carried me through my childhood,
01:14:32and she's the light that pierces my darkest days.
01:14:35Ariel,
01:14:37I love you.
01:14:38Can you hear that?
01:14:39Yes, I can.
01:14:41That includes me.
01:14:44Me too.
