00:00:00Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist?
00:00:08Who do they think are going to be wearing these haute couture designer pieces today?
00:00:18And he's Mr. Congressman Marcus Flakes, he's so handsome.
00:00:40Congressman Marcus is California's youngest and most promising political star.
00:00:44OMG, imagine dating someone that hot.
00:00:48His wife is a religious star.
00:00:52My friend Tommy said he adores his wife so much, he never brings her to any public events to protect her from the media.
00:01:00Has anyone ever actually seen his wife?
00:01:17I'm just saying, I don't know.
00:01:41Okay.
00:01:48Go home.
00:01:51We're married, but I'm just a pawn in his quest for power.
00:01:59In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:06I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:36I can hear.
00:02:50How can I, how can I hear?
00:02:54No security for a politician's wife.
00:02:59Feeling you was almost too easy.
00:03:02I'm kidnapped?
00:03:03Call your husband.
00:03:05Now!
00:03:08That's right.
00:03:09You're deaf.
00:03:11Don't laugh.
00:03:14Go home.
00:03:22Marcus?
00:03:23Marcus, please pick up the phone.
00:03:26Of course.
00:03:27Of course.
00:03:28Absolutely.
00:03:39Hello?
00:03:42Hello?
00:03:43I have your wife.
00:03:44You're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her.
00:03:57Hello?
00:03:58I have your wife.
00:03:59And if you don't do exactly what I say...
00:04:02I'm gonna kill her.
00:04:04I don't have time for these games.
00:04:05Congressman Marcus!
00:04:07I truly cannot believe that you don't care about your wife's life.
00:04:11And I'm telling you, I get three or four of these scams a week, so why don't you go kick rocks?
00:04:15I'll tell you one more time.
00:04:16She's my hostage.
00:04:18Well, then call me when she's a corpse.
00:04:22Woo!
00:04:23That man is fucking cruel, you know that?
00:04:27Heartless politician.
00:04:29You know, if he doesn't care about whether or not you die, I guess it's my choice.
00:04:35And believe me, you're beautiful.
00:04:38It's a shame you're not going to know what you're dying for.
00:04:42Fuck!
00:04:43Marcus, you motherfucker!
00:04:58Tom?
00:05:01Tom, I keep getting scam calls to my phone.
00:05:03I need you to check out the origin of the number.
00:05:05I've already checked this number a hundred times.
00:05:07I understand, but we need to make sure that my wife is safe.
00:05:10Copy that.
00:05:11Also, if you could just let Mr. Versace know I'll be right with him.
00:05:30What are you doing?
00:05:39No.
00:05:40Alcohol.
00:05:44Are you kidding me?
00:05:45Give me that.
00:05:53What is with the attitude?
00:06:02Hello?
00:06:03Mr. Flick, the call had an antispirosis measure and it was too brief to trace.
00:06:07They also used a voice changer, so voice analyst is out.
00:06:12These people have no idea who they're dealing with.
00:06:15They really think that my wife is my weakness.
00:06:18Ridiculous.
00:06:20Marcus, I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you wanted me dead.
00:06:26Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel.
00:06:30And absolutely under no circumstances should she find out.
00:06:33Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work.
00:06:35Understood.
00:06:50I've rigged this phone against tracking.
00:06:52Your husband can't trace it.
00:06:55Marcus marrying you three years ago from my sister was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:07:00Now that I have my hearing back,
00:07:03it's back on track.
00:07:13Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding.
00:07:15Take the dress off.
00:07:17Really?
00:07:19This is what you want, to be the wife of a politician?
00:07:22It's just like the dress, it's not even yours.
00:07:25Do I have a choice?
00:07:26Let's get things straight.
00:07:27I need to marry Rochester in order to secure my run for the house.
00:07:31Your sister runs off, so now you get to be the replacement.
00:07:38So, I'm really just a replacement to you?
00:07:54Yeah.
00:07:56Yeah, you are.
00:08:00Okay, let's establish a couple ground rules.
00:08:03One, I'm technically going to be married to Claire, so we have to conceal your identity.
00:08:08Two, you're not making any public appearances.
00:08:11And three, during our marriage, there are no children whatsoever.
00:08:16Okay?
00:08:18Are you listening?
00:08:19Why are you doing this to me?
00:08:24Because people like us are not afforded the choice.
00:08:37Ariel.
00:08:39Ariel, are you okay?
00:08:42Ariel?
00:08:54Ariel?
00:09:01Has Ariel recovered any of her hearing since that sudden deafness at the wedding?
00:09:06It's not so bad being deaf, Mrs. Flick.
00:09:08It spares Ariel from hearing anything that might damage Marcus' campaign for governor.
00:09:13Exactly.
00:09:14And when Marcus becomes governor, we might consider cosmetic surgery for Ariel.
00:09:20Make her look more like her sister.
00:09:22The public will sympathize with Marcus that he has not abandoned his disabled wife.
00:09:27You're so wise, Mr. Flick.
00:09:29That's a brilliant strategy.
00:09:32You all seem more concerned about politics than the well-being of my wife.
00:09:36You really think it's appropriate gloating over her condition?
00:09:39I was just considering your career.
00:09:41While we're on the topic, as long as I'm married to Ariel,
00:09:43we're not going to be doing any reconstructive surgery to make her look like her sister.
00:09:48I'm not going to allow it.
00:09:50Is he defending me now?
00:09:52On that note, we're going to be taking our leave.
00:10:14Stop!
00:10:19I'm visiting wildfire victims tomorrow, and I need your help picking an outfit.
00:10:26Remember, nothing too high profile.
00:10:39Not bad.
00:10:44Marcus.
00:10:49Good thing you couldn't hear what my parents said about you.
00:10:56I want to thank you all for making the time to be here today.
00:10:58I think that's a big deal.
00:11:03I think it's important to just acknowledge that, in spite of recent events, it's...
00:11:10Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:11:34Our state goes public.
00:11:37Our state goes through a lot of disasters.
00:11:39Mudslides, we deal with droughts, we deal with wildfires.
00:11:43In my understanding, over the last 40 years, a lot of things have built up to this moment.
00:11:49A lot of things that are perceived to bring us to...
00:11:57Just one moment, guys.
00:12:02Who is this?
00:12:03Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month,
00:12:05or your scandal goes public.
00:12:08I don't think you've done your homework.
00:12:10My wife's name is Claire.
00:12:12No, Claire's the older sister.
00:12:14When she ran away three years ago, you married Ariel to save your political career.
00:12:18What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:12:23What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:12:32What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:12:36Swapping wives between two sisters?
00:12:38I didn't want my wife's name to be Ariel.
00:12:42Tell me who the hell this is.
00:12:43It doesn't matter who I am.
00:12:44Divorce your wife, and...
00:12:46Your secrets disappear with me.
00:12:47I mean, after all, she's just a substitute, and you hate her.
00:12:50So, it shouldn't really be a problem.
00:12:52There's no chance I'm divorcing Ariel.
00:12:54There's nothing to think about it.
00:12:57I'll give you a month, or...
00:12:58I'll kill her.
00:13:04Kill her.
00:13:07It must be because Marcus is running for governor, so now he doesn't want to divorce me.
00:13:13Now I need a new plan.
00:13:23No.
00:13:34Mr. Flick, you're about to be on camera, and the press will definitely make a big deal of that wound.
00:13:40Tom, I want you to get me the best computer engineers in the world.
00:13:42We're going to nail the bastards threatening Ariel.
00:13:46Copy that, sir.
00:13:47Also...
00:13:48I need you to make it a top priority that we find a fashion consultant.
00:13:52I'm an awesome fashion editor.
00:13:54I want someone who understands political messaging.
00:14:01Hi, Johnny.
00:14:12There are some things that can only be appreciated
00:14:14once they're gone, you know?
00:14:16I mean, I've lived the past three years of my life
00:14:18in a silent hell, and now life has given me
00:14:21a second chance to hear again.
00:14:25This time, I'm gonna live for myself.
00:14:38This time, I'm gonna live for myself.
00:14:45Johnny, you're my guardian angel, you know that, right?
00:14:49I know that when Mom married into the Rochester family,
00:14:52they wouldn't accept you because of your differences,
00:14:57but I need you to know that I would never give up on you.
00:15:03Ever.
00:15:06Okay?
00:15:43Dr. Park, is it possible to regain hearing
00:15:45in a case like my wife's?
00:15:47Is it treatable with surgery?
00:15:49Her sudden deafness was triggered by a severe shock.
00:15:52We can attempt surgery, but I must be honest,
00:15:55the chances of success are very slim.
00:15:59If it works, it would be absolutely close to a miracle.
00:16:02It's just something that doesn't happen very often.
00:16:06I'm so sorry.
00:16:08I know it's not the news you wanted to hear.
00:16:13We're doing everything we can, okay?
00:16:15Okay.
00:16:17There we go.
00:16:19Okay.
00:16:23Learn to please your husband and have a baby ASAP.
00:16:49Okay.
00:17:09Tom, the man just sent me a few photos.
00:17:12I need you to trace them.
00:17:13Yes, sir.
00:17:14Keep them on the line for more than five minutes
00:17:16for better tracking.
00:17:19Okay.
00:17:29Did you see that?
00:17:31It's a central photo of your wife
00:17:32that she sent to someone else.
00:17:34She's cheating on you.
00:17:36My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:17:46It's a central photo of your wife
00:17:47that she sent to someone else.
00:17:49She's cheating on you.
00:17:51My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:17:53Why, you don't think she's attractive enough?
00:17:55No, I think she's quite attractive, actually.
00:17:59I just know her, and she wouldn't betray her promises.
00:18:03You know, those photos you sent,
00:18:05the faces are unrecognizable.
00:18:07How are you so confident that they're my wife?
00:18:09Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife so well?
00:18:12Sarah has a birthmark on her chest.
00:18:13Surely you're familiar with it.
00:18:15How do you know about the birthmark?
00:18:16Who are you?
00:18:18It doesn't matter who I am.
00:18:19Here are my demands.
00:18:20Divorce your wife, or this provocative photo goes public.
00:18:23I'll claim that the perfect congressman
00:18:25can't satisfy his wife,
00:18:27leaving her to find happiness elsewhere.
00:18:30What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:18:33What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:18:36Damn, I hadn't thought of that.
00:18:38I hate her.
00:18:39I can't stand seeing her live such a privileged life.
00:18:42Well, I'm not gonna indulge your twisted desires.
00:18:45She's my wife, and I'm gonna protect her.
00:18:47Don't act like you really love her.
00:18:48You're just worried that a divorce would hurt your...
00:18:50Political image.
00:18:51Oh, I'm not gonna let you get away with it.
00:18:53I'm not gonna let you get away with it.
00:18:55I'm not gonna let you get away with it.
00:18:57I'm not gonna let you get away with it.
00:18:59I'm not gonna let you get away with it.
00:19:01I don't believe that divorce would
00:19:11Hello?
00:19:13Hello?
00:19:14This man is too complicated to understand.
00:19:22No, sir, we've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software.
00:19:25You know, it's only been traced in the general area.
00:19:30OK, go ahead.
00:19:30Your phone's location is within a five-mile radius, which includes your house, sir.
00:19:48Ariel.
00:19:49She's in danger.
00:20:30Are you mad at me?
00:20:41Ariel.
00:20:42Don't!
00:20:43Okay.
00:20:44I won't touch you.
00:21:00We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image-making
00:21:15and understands how each garment can tell a compelling story.
00:21:19Mom, what are you doing?
00:21:30That's my work.
00:21:32Instead of focusing on this garbage, why don't you learn how to dress nicely so you can catch
00:21:36a good man like your sister did?
00:21:38Mom, clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men.
00:21:42I can't believe you just said that.
00:21:44Ariel, you are going to stop chasing these fanciful dreams.
00:21:47Do you remember where you came from?
00:21:50Without my marriage into the Rochester family, you wouldn't even have the money to attend
00:21:54a private school and focus on this nonsense.
00:21:57If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me.
00:22:01Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband, just like I did.
00:22:22Well, the worst I could say is no.
00:22:32As long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer, I'm ready to work for anyone.
00:22:39I can't let anybody, especially him, find out I can hear again.
00:22:42I have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly.
00:22:46Maybe using text-to-speech is the best.
00:23:01My name is Ariel Anderson.
00:23:09I graduated from the School of Visual Art with a degree in fashion design.
00:23:12I lost my hearing due to an accident three years ago.
00:23:15Unfortunately, a hearing aid won't really help.
00:23:17Therefore, I'd appreciate it if you could use pen and paper for communication.
00:23:20I assure you I can keep up.
00:23:22I'm concerned that her hearing might affect her performance.
00:23:25Recruiting a disabled woman will make our campaign team look more diverse and socially
00:23:30responsible.
00:23:31The board has to think better of us.
00:23:33I hear both of your concerns, however.
00:23:35But the reality is we only need a wardrobe consultant that's qualified.
00:23:41The congressman needs to attend an unscheduled event.
00:23:44Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:24:01Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:24:16Is she modifying it just by eye?
00:24:30Congressman Flick, may I ask you to try it on?
00:24:46Five feet, nine inches tall, 165 pounds.
00:24:49Chest, 33.6 inches.
00:24:51Waist, 32.9 inches.
00:24:53Hips, 35.7 inches.
00:24:55These are the congressman's measurements and I'm confident that they're accurate.
00:24:58That's entirely correct.
00:25:01True.
00:25:03But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:25:17But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:25:22Sorry, Congressman, I can't hear.
00:25:28I want you to take a look at these photos.
00:25:30Tell us five things that you see wrong with them.
00:25:42The tie is too flashy.
00:25:43The pants are too short.
00:25:44And overall, the photo screams one word.
00:25:46Arrogance.
00:25:49She is incredible.
00:25:53She's the one.
00:25:59Congrats.
00:26:00Welcome.
00:26:10I was supposed to be divorcing him, but now I guess I'm working with him.
00:26:19Hi, I'm Daniel Campbell.
00:26:23It's good to meet you.
00:26:25I'm so happy to have you on the team.
00:26:27You're great.
00:26:29Would you like to get a coffee?
00:26:32Sure.
00:26:50Who is that guy?
00:26:51Can we fire that guy?
00:26:52What?
00:26:53No, that's inappropriate.
00:26:54We can't fire people for no good reason.
00:26:56That'll go against our team's reputation.
00:26:58Also, not to mention the upcoming campaign.
00:27:01Well, then keep a close eye on him, okay?
00:27:03That's not part of my job.
00:27:07So, um, what happened here?
00:27:11Sorry.
00:27:16Accident.
00:27:22Oh.
00:27:23Oh.
00:27:24Why don't you get, um, cochlear implants?
00:27:26Cochlear implants for your ear?
00:27:29Too... robotic?
00:27:32Interesting.
00:27:33The... silence.
00:27:37Helps.
00:27:39You need work?
00:27:41Cool.
00:27:49How'd you get work, Campbell?
00:27:51It's my lunch break, Mr. Flick.
00:27:53Right.
00:27:55Well, then.
00:27:56I think my new wardrobe consultant needs to check on her duties.
00:28:22Ring.
00:28:28Ring.
00:28:35Didn't you insist that we hide the fact that we're married?
00:28:37So why would I bother wearing a ring?
00:28:41Someone hitting on you.
00:28:46Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm a human too.
00:28:48I have a life.
00:28:52What?
00:28:55Oh my God.
00:28:56Oh my God, it's you in the photo.
00:28:59Fucking asshole.
00:29:01Ariel, I'm sorry.
00:29:04I'm sorry!
00:29:15Ariel.
00:29:17I'm sorry.
00:29:19No, Ariel.
00:29:28Don't forget.
00:29:29I'm still paying your brother's medical bills.
00:29:44Marcus, I cannot believe you'd threaten me with my own brother.
00:29:48What happened to you?
00:29:50What happened to us?
00:29:57The more successful he becomes, the more he feels like a stranger.
00:30:02He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16.
00:30:06Hi.
00:30:17Don't worry. Just hold on tight, and I'll always protect you.
00:30:21Marcus, how come you're always free to visit Johnny with me?
00:30:28Well, your brother's my brother.
00:30:31When I get older, I'm going to protect you, okay?
00:30:35I promise.
00:31:06Stay.
00:31:11Congressman Flick.
00:31:14Forgive me for asking, but why have I never been introduced to your wife?
00:31:17Your competitors bring their spouses to events like this,
00:31:20and they do quite well for themselves.
00:31:22Right. But I don't consider my wife to be an accessory.
00:31:25She's her own person.
00:31:27And it'll need her chain to me at all times.
00:31:30You are the perfect husband.
00:31:32Pleasure.
00:31:46You again.
00:31:47Don't know how to quit, huh?
00:31:48Have you made up your mind?
00:31:49Are you divorcing your wife or not?
00:31:51Threats, huh? Go ahead.
00:31:53You're just going to want to regret this.
00:31:54I don't understand you.
00:31:56You say you love your wife, and you want her to live a life that you don't.
00:31:59I don't understand you.
00:32:00You say you love your wife, and you want her to live a life that she chooses.
00:32:03And then you turn around and you treat her like a prop.
00:32:05You make me sick.
00:32:07How did you hear about this?
00:32:10Are you at the gala?
00:32:11Have you ever asked her what kind of life she would like to live?
00:32:14Have you ever asked her if she loves you?
00:32:16I swear to God, if you do anything to Ariel, I will kill you.
00:32:19I will make you regret it.
00:32:23Ariel!
00:32:30Ariel!
00:32:35Ariel!
00:32:40Can you hear me?
00:32:41Have you recovered your hearing?
00:32:42Stop!
00:32:43Why did you turn around when I just called your name?
00:32:49Have you been on the phone?
00:32:52Oh, my God.
00:32:55Gas leak!
00:32:56Oh, my God!
00:32:59Oh, my God!
00:33:22On the porch?
00:33:24She seemed to be on the phone.
00:33:26Was it her all along?
00:33:28Water.
00:33:42Why?
00:33:43Why?
00:33:58It's not her.
00:34:06Explain!
00:34:11Just friends.
00:34:13I'm going to bed.
00:34:15Ariel.
00:34:19I'm jealous, okay? I'm sorry. I'm jealous.
00:34:22I'm jealous of what you and Daniel have.
00:34:42What?
00:35:07What?
00:35:09Sleep.
00:35:12Yeah, but you're my wife.
00:35:24Sometimes I forget that you can't hear me.
00:35:28It's crazy that we've been married for three years,
00:35:31and I feel like you hate me more and more.
00:35:36You hate me for being in this marriage, but
00:35:39if you're not with me, how can I protect you?
00:35:42I want you to be the perfect wife.
00:35:44You don't need to be the perfect daughter-in-law.
00:35:47I just want you to do what you love.
00:35:50I'm the one stuck in this family.
00:35:55And that's enough.
00:36:08Marcus, I can't see you clearly.
00:36:10Sometimes you're cold and cruel, but other times
00:36:14you sound like you love me.
00:36:17Which one is the real you?
00:36:28Sorry I'm late, everybody.
00:36:29Once dinner, I'm going to be ready.
00:36:32Enough with the carbs, Marcus.
00:36:34Your body shape reflects the family you come from.
00:36:37You don't want to end up obese like one of those poor people, do you?
00:36:43Sorry, Mom.
00:37:03There we go.
00:37:05You made PB&J, my favorite.
00:37:34You're welcome.
00:38:05Phew.
00:38:15Help with clothes?
00:38:19Thanks.
00:38:27I really gotta keep a close eye on her.
00:38:31Make sure she stays close to me.
00:38:33Sure enough, I'm never just your wife.
00:38:35I'm a pawn.
00:38:53So, we're going to have to make sure that everything is going to stick together.
00:38:56Oh, here we are.
00:38:58Hi, everybody.
00:38:59My name is Congressman Marcus Flick.
00:39:01And this is my team, okay?
00:39:02We came a long way to hear your thoughts.
00:39:04Please, guys.
00:39:05Get them out there.
00:39:06Well, I'm curious.
00:39:07What do you plan to do about this drought we've been struggling with these last 18 months?
00:39:12That's a great question.
00:39:14Off the noggin, I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been
00:39:19finding their way to Sacramento, but they have also been falling onto deaf ears.
00:39:24Marcus is so handsome, isn't he?
00:39:26He's the pride of California.
00:39:28The most stylish, well-dressed politician in the state, hands down.
00:39:32And such a perfect husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her.
00:39:36Perfect husband?
00:39:38These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick.
00:39:40What'd you say?
00:39:51Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:39:59Do you want to check on the horses?
00:40:05Um, they're right over there.
00:40:14Come on, sweetie.
00:40:15Here, let me share.
00:40:25Looks like you two are having fun.
00:40:26Yeah.
00:40:27Having fun?
00:40:28Yeah, we are.
00:40:30If you want to pet a horse, I have one over here you can check out.
00:40:34This one's fine.
00:40:39Perfect.
00:40:40Congressman, can I get a shot of you two feeding the horse?
00:40:43Yeah, if you could feed the horse with her, please.
00:40:47This is great.
00:40:48Perfect.
00:40:50Yes, yes.
00:40:53Oh, perfect.
00:40:58What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:41:11What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:41:13That's insane.
00:41:14What everyone is praising is kindness and sincerity.
00:41:18No one is even noticing, Ariel.
00:41:20The governor's campaign is coming up.
00:41:22We need to be careful.
00:41:28Simone, I thought I told you to handle your daughter.
00:41:37Congressman, we're moving on to the next activity.
00:41:40Okay.
00:41:41I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:41:44Just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:41:47Okay.
00:41:58He is a control freak.
00:42:25Marcus!
00:42:27Marcus!
00:42:51Are you all right?
00:42:53Yeah, I'm all right.
00:42:54Are you hurt?
00:42:55I'm fine.
00:42:56I'm fine.
00:43:03Ariel, Ariel, can you hear me?
00:43:07No, I can't hear you.
00:43:10Ariel, if you can hear me, why are you answering my questions?
00:43:13I don't understand.
00:43:17Ariel, tell me the truth.
00:43:20Can you hear me?
00:43:27Why did you lie to me?
00:43:41Let go of me!
00:43:43How long have you had your hearing back, and when did you get your hearing back?
00:43:46Ariel, why did you lie to me?
00:43:52The day you wanted me dead.
00:43:57What are you talking about?
00:43:59The day my hearing came back was the day you wanted me dead.
00:44:01When did I want you dead?
00:44:03God, you really don't remember?
00:44:05The day I got kidnapped?
00:44:07The first thing I heard when I got my hearing back was you saying,
00:44:10call me back when she's a corpse.
00:44:14Oh my God.
00:44:16The phone call.
00:44:18It wasn't, it was not a phone call.
00:44:20It was a phone call.
00:44:23The phone call.
00:44:25It wasn't, it wasn't just a spam call.
00:44:29Why didn't you tell me that you were kidnapped?
00:44:31Why didn't you tell me that you were in danger?
00:44:33Have you always been like this? Blaming everybody but yourself?
00:44:37Did you even care that I was in danger?
00:44:39Do you even see me as your wife?
00:44:41Because every day that I spend with you, I am trapped in a life that I did not choose.
00:44:45How was I supposed to know that the way I'm treating you is causing you so much pain?
00:44:49Please just let me go.
00:44:51I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:45:02Please just let me go.
00:45:05I'm just a replacement for my sister. Remember?
00:45:08You really think that of me?
00:45:10Because I wasn't blind or heartless before, Marcus.
00:45:13I could still feel things, I just couldn't hear.
00:45:17Ariel, please.
00:45:19Don't.
00:45:21Don't touch me.
00:45:24Ariel!
00:45:37So, she can actually hear now.
00:45:41This is getting interesting.
00:45:44This is getting interesting.
00:46:14Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:46:35I've heard you can hear again.
00:46:37Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:46:44Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:46:47I've heard you can hear again.
00:46:49Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:46:51What the hell do you want?
00:46:52I thought you'd want to hear someone's voice.
00:46:54Come on, sweetie.
00:46:56Say hello to your dear brother.
00:46:58Johnny?
00:46:59No, please don't hurt him.
00:47:01Oh, well, I can't guarantee that.
00:47:04It depends on my mood.
00:47:06Look, if you do anything you want, just don't hurt him.
00:47:09What a deep love.
00:47:12What a deep love.
00:47:14That's touching, but you ruined my plan last time, remember?
00:47:18I swear to God, if you touch a hair on his head, I will make you pay!
00:47:22Oh, I'm not going to kill him.
00:47:24But as a punishment for your escape, I'm going to leave him in the mountains.
00:47:29I hope he's lucky enough to survive.
00:47:31Adrian, Amanda, the reality is we only have about eight weeks left of this campaign.
00:47:36So we need to lock in.
00:47:38Our goal is to get ahold of Sacramento, L.A., San Diego, all the official sprints.
00:47:56Johnny?
00:47:58Johnny?
00:47:59Johnny?
00:48:00Johnny?
00:48:01Johnny, it's going to be okay.
00:48:02I'm here now.
00:48:03I'm here.
00:48:04It's okay, it's me.
00:48:05It's Ariel.
00:48:06I'm here.
00:48:07It's okay.
00:48:08It's okay.
00:48:09I'm here.
00:48:10I'm here.
00:48:11It's going to be okay.
00:48:12It's okay.
00:48:14Congressman Flick, we found the woman in the unconscious now.
00:48:17Congressman...
00:48:18Marcus?
00:48:19Marcus?
00:48:20Marcus, it's Johnny.
00:48:21There's something wrong, and I don't know what to do.
00:48:23I got you, okay?
00:48:24Don't panic.
00:48:25I'm going to take care of him.
00:48:26I'm going to take care of him.
00:48:27We need to get him to the hospital immediately.
00:48:29We're going to take a helicopter.
00:48:36Listen to me, okay?
00:48:38He's going to go to the hospital.
00:48:39We're going to take care of him immediately.
00:48:41But you're hurt, too.
00:48:42You need treatment.
00:48:44Congressman Flick, can I ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:48:50She's mine.
00:48:53She's my wife.
00:48:57And the victim's my brother.
00:48:59This is your wife?
00:49:01Yes.
00:49:02And we need to get her to the hospital immediately.
00:49:04She's in shock.
00:49:06We'll talk about this later.
00:49:08I'm sorry.
00:49:09It's okay.
00:49:11I'm sorry.
00:49:12I'm sorry.
00:49:13I'm sorry.
00:49:14I'm sorry.
00:49:15It's okay.
00:49:17It's okay.
00:49:19I'm sorry.
00:49:20I'm sorry.
00:49:21I'm sorry.
00:49:22I'm sorry.
00:49:23I'm sorry.
00:49:24I'm sorry.
00:49:25We'll talk about this later.
00:49:41Doctor.
00:49:43How's my brother?
00:49:45The patient's stable. He's just a little shaken up.
00:49:47But he'll be fine. He just needs rest.
00:49:49We appreciate your care.
00:49:51Thank you, Doctor.
00:49:53Mr. Congressman Flake, it's an honor to serve you.
00:49:55We'll give him the best of everything.
00:49:57Don't worry. We'll take good care of your family.
00:50:05Marcus, I don't know how...
00:50:07You ruined everything again!
00:50:09You ruined everything again!
00:50:21You ruined everything again!
00:50:23Your son's in a coma, and your daughter's injured,
00:50:25and you're just gonna come over here and start pointing fingers at a hospital?
00:50:27Marcus, it's all over in the news.
00:50:29Ariel went and rescued Johnny today.
00:50:31If people find out she's in a relationship with you,
00:50:33it could ruin your chances of being governor.
00:50:35That's not the point, okay?
00:50:37Family comes first.
00:50:39Don't misunderstand me. I care for Johnny.
00:50:41But he's out of danger now,
00:50:43and it's just a matter of time before he recovers.
00:50:45But you...
00:50:47You're in the middle of an election!
00:50:49One mistake can cost us everything!
00:50:51You care about election results,
00:50:53but I think you only care about your own profits, don't you?
00:50:55I'm telling you right now,
00:50:57you're gonna treat my wife with respect,
00:50:59or you're gonna have to leave.
00:51:01Now leave.
00:51:08Don't take it personally.
00:51:10How could I not?
00:51:12She's done this my whole life, regardless of if I could hear or not.
00:51:14That's...
00:51:16That's the family I grew up in.
00:51:18Listen to me.
00:51:20You, me, Johnny...
00:51:24We're each other's family.
00:51:27Okay.
00:51:37Okay.
00:52:04Yes?
00:52:06You know, this is the first phone call we've had since you...
00:52:08since you lost your hearing three years ago.
00:52:10Yeah.
00:52:12First call.
00:52:14Yeah.
00:52:16Wait.
00:52:18Is this the first...
00:52:20Did you call in another line?
00:52:22No. Uh, no. That's not what I meant.
00:52:24How did you know Johnny was in danger today?
00:52:26Well, I asked the caretakers
00:52:28to inform me if anything ever happened to him.
00:52:30So...
00:52:32Why? Why would you do that?
00:52:34Because I promised you, Ariel.
00:52:36I promised that I was gonna protect Johnny.
00:52:38Marcus, I...
00:52:40I don't know what to say. I mean, thank you.
00:52:42To think of Johnny, I was just... I was so scared.
00:52:44I can't imagine what I'd do
00:52:46if anything happened to him.
00:52:48He's my only family left.
00:52:52Open the door.
00:53:04Open the door.
00:53:16Hey.
00:53:28Wait, wait.
00:53:30You know,
00:53:32I would have gone crazy
00:53:34if anything happened to you today.
00:53:36Thank you,
00:53:38Marcus,
00:53:40for everything.
00:53:42Come to the office tomorrow.
00:53:44I got something to share with you.
00:53:50Hi.
00:53:54I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:53:56Why?
00:54:00Because I've been pushing you too much,
00:54:02and you need to follow your dreams.
00:54:06Here.
00:54:08What's this?
00:54:10This is the key
00:54:12to a design studio in downtown.
00:54:14I raised $3 million in capital just for you.
00:54:16It's all yours.
00:54:18Are you serious?
00:54:20Yes, I am.
00:54:24This is the key to a design studio in downtown.
00:54:26I raised $3 million in capital just for you.
00:54:28It's all yours.
00:54:30Are you serious?
00:54:32I'm not joking.
00:54:34And I need you to promise me something, okay?
00:54:36Please do not tell your mom or anybody
00:54:38that you can hear now.
00:54:40Probably best so they're not judging us.
00:54:44Okay.
00:54:46I have something for you, too.
00:54:50What is this?
00:54:52For the past three years,
00:54:54I have been documenting some of your looks.
00:54:56It's just some ideas,
00:54:58designs, and things.
00:55:02It's perfect.
00:55:06Come here.
00:55:16Come in.
00:55:18Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick
00:55:20are here to see you.
00:55:32Come in.
00:55:36Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick
00:55:38are here to see you.
00:55:40Okay, go ahead.
00:55:42Well,
00:55:44your governor's campaign
00:55:46has hit a critical phase,
00:55:48but your support is slipping.
00:55:50And meanwhile, Stephen Hopkins,
00:55:52his approval ratings are climbing.
00:55:58I have it under control.
00:56:00Under control?
00:56:02I don't see any progress in that.
00:56:04You are too distracted.
00:56:06Father, I'll handle my campaign,
00:56:08Aaron will handle his.
00:56:10I'll handle my campaign?
00:56:12Ariel is not the problem.
00:56:14Hopkins' wife is actively involved
00:56:16in women's foundations
00:56:18and charity events, boosting his appeal.
00:56:20If you want to gain ground, Marcus,
00:56:22you need to present the image
00:56:24of a flawless family.
00:56:36Dress like Claire and join Marcus at campaign events?
00:56:40You won't do it?
00:57:02Father Ariel,
00:57:04she is herself.
00:57:06She's not imitating her sister.
00:57:08She's not going to pretend to be anyone else
00:57:10in order to win political votes.
00:57:12You ungrateful son of a bitch!
00:57:14We gave you everything!
00:57:16Resources, training,
00:57:18this position,
00:57:20and this?
00:57:22This is how you're going to disobey us?
00:57:24This is my wife, okay?
00:57:26Insulting her is disrespecting me!
00:57:28Respect?
00:57:30You, you are nothing
00:57:32without the Flick name.
00:57:34Nothing!
00:57:36You,
00:57:38you are nothing!
00:57:42Everything that you have here
00:57:44is us!
00:57:46None of your merit!
00:57:48And I am thankful for what you did for me,
00:57:50but I'm not going to use the people I love
00:57:52to win political games!
00:57:54That is my boundary.
00:57:56A true politician
00:57:58has no boundaries.
00:58:00And I'm not going to use
00:58:02the people I love
00:58:04A true politician
00:58:06has no soft spots, Marcus.
00:58:08Well, if being a successful politician means
00:58:10using the people I love,
00:58:12then I'll give it all up.
00:58:14How can you say that, Marcus?
00:58:16This is ridiculous!
00:58:18If we'd have known,
00:58:20we never
00:58:22would have picked you up at the orphanage.
00:58:24Ever!
00:58:26Marcus is adopted.
00:58:28Let's go.
00:58:30Well, I'm sorry
00:58:32I wasn't the perfect son!
00:58:50Marcus,
00:58:52he's carried more than I ever realized.
00:58:54Congressman Marcus Flick
00:58:56to deliver inspiring election pep talk
00:58:58in Southern California.
00:59:10Here.
00:59:12For your campaign tomorrow.
00:59:14I already signed it.
00:59:18But the campaign just started
00:59:20and now you want a divorce?
00:59:22You see, somebody called me
00:59:24and they told me
00:59:26that if you love someone,
00:59:28you do not trap them in a political marriage.
00:59:32Ariel, I thought I was protecting you.
00:59:34But I was just
00:59:36helping myself.
00:59:38I was preventing you from what you wanted
00:59:40because I thought it was going to hurt you.
00:59:42But I was being a hypocrite.
00:59:46And I'm sorry.
00:59:50This?
00:59:52At least one of us gets to be free.
00:59:56But I was being a hypocrite.
00:59:58And I'm sorry.
01:00:00This?
01:00:02At least one of us gets to be free.
01:00:26Mm-hmm.
01:00:56Congressman?
01:01:26Do you know what a mistake you've made?
01:01:36Congressman?
01:01:38Do you know what a mistake you've made?
01:01:40You know, I don't know what I did tonight,
01:01:42but feel free to punish me.
01:01:44What are you saying?
01:01:46Aren't you afraid of being overheard?
01:01:48Ariel, can I talk dirty to my wife?
01:01:50Stop being slick.
01:01:52I, um...
01:01:54I made you a coat.
01:01:56For the rally tomorrow.
01:01:58Hope you like it.
01:02:00Wait, a trench coat? Isn't that too flashy?
01:02:02No, the suit cliche thing is so over.
01:02:04People crave more personality these days.
01:02:06I'll do whatever you say, ma'am.
01:02:08Okay, well, I will bring you the coat.
01:02:10I'll see you.
01:02:12And, uh...
01:02:14I miss you.
01:02:16Okay, well, that's enough out of you.
01:02:18But...
01:02:20Fine.
01:02:22I miss you, too.
01:02:52Sir?
01:02:54A package arrived for you.
01:02:58Oh, my God.
01:03:02This is Ariel's coat. Where is she?
01:03:04No word yet. She's not answering calls.
01:03:06Well, you need to check her studio right now, okay?
01:03:08I'm on it, Congressman.
01:03:10Your supporters are waiting for you.
01:03:12You need to get on stage now.
01:03:14No, they can wait. I'm gonna go check on Ariel right now, okay?
01:03:16What are you doing?
01:03:18Look, time is gold.
01:03:20You don't want to let your sponsors down, do you?
01:03:24Tom, you're gonna go check on her right now.
01:03:26Tell me if anything changes.
01:03:30Thanks for having me, everybody.
01:03:32Thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:03:34I think, as dark as it is,
01:03:36we're gonna have a great night, everybody.
01:03:42Oh, my God.
01:03:44There's water everywhere.
01:03:46There's water everywhere. Oh, my God, help!
01:03:50Somebody help me!
01:03:52Help, please!
01:03:58Johnny?
01:04:00I don't...
01:04:02Johnny?
01:04:04Johnny, wake up. That's not funny.
01:04:06Johnny, wake up.
01:04:08Wake up.
01:04:10Wake up.
01:04:12Wake up.
01:04:14Wake up.
01:04:16Wake up.
01:04:18Johnny, wake up. That's not funny.
01:04:20Johnny, wake up.
01:04:22Johnny, look what you did.
01:04:24It's all your fault.
01:04:26You're nothing but a curse.
01:04:28Oh, my God, is he breathing?
01:04:30Johnny, can you hear me?
01:04:32It's all your fault.
01:04:34Oh, my God.
01:04:36Johnny, I need you.
01:04:38Help!
01:04:48Hey, come on.
01:04:50Turn it on.
01:04:56What do you want with me?
01:05:02You'll find out soon enough.
01:05:04Thanks for having me, everybody.
01:05:06Thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:05:18Hello.
01:05:20Hello.
01:05:22How sweet.
01:05:24You think the congressman knows
01:05:26his wife is just a breath away from death?
01:05:30Want to get more treasure?
01:05:32Call him.
01:05:34No.
01:05:38Oh, you want me to do it?
01:05:40Fine.
01:05:42You're welcome.
01:05:44No, Marcus, don't answer.
01:05:48My goal is to increase
01:05:50economic growth by 20%,
01:05:52all while tackling homelessness
01:05:54and reducing crime.
01:06:06Marcus, I'm so sorry.
01:06:08I love you. I lied to...
01:06:10No, Ariel. Ariel, where are you?
01:06:12I lied to you about the phone calls.
01:06:14I thought I could protect you.
01:06:16But maybe if I'd just been honest with you all along,
01:06:18none of this would have ever happened.
01:06:20Ariel, please stay on the phone, okay?
01:06:22Just tell me where you...
01:06:24Come alone, no cops, or she dies.
01:06:30I gotta go.
01:06:32Congressman, your speech is live nationwide.
01:06:34You can't just leave now.
01:06:36I gotta go.
01:06:46I gotta go.
01:06:52Well, that's so sweet.
01:06:54He's actually abandoning
01:06:56his campaign to save you.
01:06:58No, you can have all my money.
01:07:00Just don't make Marcus come here.
01:07:02Shut up.
01:07:06This isn't about money.
01:07:08This is about me and Marcus.
01:07:10You're just the paper.
01:07:12Wait a minute. Your voice.
01:07:14I know your voice.
01:07:16You haven't figured it out by now?
01:07:18It doesn't matter.
01:07:20You'll be dead soon anyway.
01:07:28Ariel!
01:07:44Hi.
01:07:46Hi.
01:07:48Ariel!
01:07:54Ariel!
01:07:58Ariel, I'm coming!
01:08:02Please.
01:08:04Ariel!
01:08:06Ariel!
01:08:12Please pick up.
01:08:16Oh, my God.
01:08:24Ariel!
01:08:36Ariel!
01:08:48Ariel!
01:08:50Ariel!
01:08:52Oh, my God.
01:08:54Ariel!
01:08:56It's okay.
01:08:58I'm gonna get you home.
01:09:00I'm gonna get you home.
01:09:06Marcus, behind you!
01:09:18It's you?
01:09:20It's you?
01:09:30It's you?
01:09:32It's you?
01:09:34It's you?
01:09:36It's you?
01:09:38It's you?
01:09:40It's you?
01:09:42It's you?
01:09:44It's you?
01:09:46Well, we were friends.
01:09:48You approached me.
01:09:50After years of
01:09:52digging and searching,
01:09:54I uncovered the real secrets
01:09:56about your perfect marriage.
01:09:58Yeah, I kidnapped you.
01:10:00Once you got away,
01:10:02you stole my phone, too,
01:10:04so I had to get closer.
01:10:06I joined your campaign team.
01:10:08Marcus, do you ever wonder
01:10:10why you couldn't track
01:10:12the threatening calls you were getting?
01:10:14That's because your culprit
01:10:16was right there on your IT team.
01:10:18How blind can you be?
01:10:20Marcus, do you ever wonder
01:10:22why you couldn't track
01:10:24the threatening calls you were getting?
01:10:26That's because your culprit
01:10:28was right there on your IT team.
01:10:30How blind can you be?
01:10:32This is all because you're trying
01:10:34to sabotage my campaign?
01:10:36It's not even worth it!
01:10:38Look at my face!
01:10:40Do you even recognize me?
01:10:42Do you know who I am?
01:10:44Of course you don't.
01:10:46Let me show you.
01:10:48Of course you don't.
01:10:50Let me remind you.
01:10:52Fifteen years ago,
01:10:54the orphanage, your best...
01:10:56friend.
01:11:02No.
01:11:06No, it can't be.
01:11:08Yeah.
01:11:10Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:11:18No.
01:11:22No, no, it can't be.
01:11:24Yeah.
01:11:26Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:11:28Hey, where's my money, huh?
01:11:30I don't have it.
01:11:32Where's my cash?
01:11:34I don't have anything.
01:11:36Hey, leave him alone!
01:11:38Leave him alone!
01:11:40You okay?
01:11:42What happened?
01:11:44I don't know.
01:11:46What happened?
01:11:48He called me a fat pig.
01:11:50Ignore them.
01:11:52They're just jerks.
01:11:54Thanks, Marcus. Can I hang out with you?
01:11:56Of course.
01:11:58We're friends now.
01:12:00Sean.
01:12:02What happened to you? You've changed.
01:12:04Do you recognize me now?
01:12:06Noble congressman?
01:12:08Or should I say you're an orphan nobody wanted?
01:12:10You keep that a secret
01:12:12from your voters, too?
01:12:14Why do you hate me? We were friends.
01:12:16Why do you hate me? Why are you targeting Ariel?
01:12:18Friends?
01:12:20You stole everything from me, Marcus.
01:12:22That stage you parade around on.
01:12:24This life of power
01:12:26and respect belonged to me,
01:12:28not to you.
01:12:38And at first I'd let it go.
01:12:40I wanted to let it go.
01:12:42But every time I turned on the TV
01:12:44I saw you parading around this perfect life
01:12:46and it wasn't fair.
01:12:48The Flicks chose Marcus.
01:12:50Shut up! The Flicks chose me.
01:12:52But on adoption day, yeah,
01:12:54you remember, I got sick
01:12:56from the cake you gave me.
01:12:58I was at the hospital with food poisoning
01:13:00so they took you instead.
01:13:02Sean, I went back to the orphanage.
01:13:04I spoke to the dean and he said that you were adopted
01:13:06by a loving family, that you were happy.
01:13:08Happy?
01:13:10I was adopted into a nightmare.
01:13:12A couple that divorced
01:13:14and left me out to rot.
01:13:16What about that is happy?
01:13:20Sean, I'm sorry for what you went through
01:13:22but revenge is not the way.
01:13:24We gotta figure this out together.
01:13:26Figure it out? What are we gonna figure out, Marcus?
01:13:28I spent years suffering
01:13:30watching you live my life.
01:13:32We are never figuring it out.
01:13:34Ugh!
01:13:38Hold on!
01:13:40Sean, I'm not gonna let you fall any further.
01:13:52Come on.
01:13:54Sean.
01:13:56Sean, we don't have to hate each other.
01:13:58Okay, just let it go.
01:14:00I will go to the police.
01:14:02I will explain everything.
01:14:04You don't have to worry about it.
01:14:06Just please, please don't let the hatred consume you.
01:14:12You were always a saint, Marcus.
01:14:14Marcus, look out!
01:14:18Oh my God!
01:14:20Oh my God! Are you okay?
01:14:22Perfect.
01:14:24You get to die
01:14:26in front of the one you love the most.
01:14:28My revenge is complete.
01:14:30I'm okay.
01:14:32Daniel, you don't need to...
01:14:38It's okay.
01:14:40You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:14:42It's gonna be okay. I'm fine.
01:14:54Daniel, you don't need to...
01:15:00It's okay. You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:15:02It's gonna be okay. I'm fine.
01:15:04I need you to apply pressure.
01:15:06I need you to stay with me.
01:15:10I love you and I need you to hang in there, okay?
01:15:12I love you.
01:15:14Don't say that right now. Please just hold that for later.
01:15:16We're gonna say that later, okay?
01:15:18We're gonna get out of here. Do you trust me?
01:15:20I trust you.
01:15:24Come to the lake.
01:15:26Now. Marcus, look, he's dying.
01:15:30Daniel!
01:15:42Ariel?
01:15:46Claire?
01:15:48Why are you here?
01:15:52I've been living abroad.
01:15:54Marcus and I have been talking,
01:15:56keeping in touch over the last couple years
01:15:58and his assistant told me that he was hospitalized.
01:16:00I'm so sorry.
01:16:02I didn't realize you and Marcus still talked.
01:16:04I thought, um...
01:16:06You don't know that...
01:16:08why he married you instead of me?
01:16:18Claire.
01:16:20If you're trying to convince me to stay, don't bother.
01:16:22Claire, I admire your courage to lead the life you want.
01:16:24I don't want to be a pawn
01:16:26for the family's games anymore.
01:16:28I want to be free.
01:16:30I know.
01:16:32I'm not gonna hold you back anymore.
01:16:34But you gotta do one thing for me.
01:16:36Can you please tell your parents?
01:16:38Can you please tell them to let Ariel marry me?
01:16:42Marcus chose me?
01:16:44He knew that Simone would marry you off for money if he couldn't.
01:16:46He married you to protect you.
01:16:48And if he acted indifferent,
01:16:50it's only because he didn't want you to get too attached.
01:16:52Well, I didn't need to say that.
01:16:54You know Marcus.
01:16:56He can't admit his feelings very easily.
01:16:58I know.
01:17:00I know.
01:17:02I know.
01:17:04I know.
01:17:06I know.
01:17:08I know.
01:17:10I know.
01:17:12He can't admit his feelings very easily.
01:17:14But his love is...
01:17:16It's deeper than anyone's.
01:17:20So...
01:17:24He doesn't know that I've been in love with him since we were children?
01:17:26It's always been you.
01:17:28Ariel.
01:17:30Ever since we were children,
01:17:32it's only ever been you.
01:17:34He's always loved you.
01:17:42He's always loved you.
01:17:52Marcus, you really are
01:17:54the dumbest asshole in the world.
01:17:56You know that, right?
01:17:58Why didn't you tell me you married me
01:18:00to protect me?
01:18:02Why were you so cold?
01:18:04Why did you...
01:18:06Why did you pretend
01:18:08you hated me?
01:18:10Because none of it worked.
01:18:14I still love you.
01:18:18Of course I still love you.
01:18:20But I need you.
01:18:22You can't leave me, okay?
01:18:28Take this ring.
01:18:30Take it.
01:18:34And put it on my finger again.
01:18:36I just...
01:18:38I need to
01:18:40hear you say that you love me.
01:18:44Please, Marcus.
01:18:46Ah.
01:19:06Marcus.
01:19:08You're awake.
01:19:16Oh.
01:19:20This...
01:19:22This ring wasn't left behind
01:19:24by your sister.
01:19:26It was made custom for you.
01:19:30It's unique just like you.
01:19:34It just wasn't the right time
01:19:36to give it to you before
01:19:38because you were mad,
01:19:40and I'm sorry.
01:19:42Marcus,
01:19:44yes.
01:19:46And it's because I think you're the only one who can handle me.
01:20:08Miss
01:20:10Ariel Rochester.
01:20:13Will you still...
01:20:17Will you still marry me?
01:20:20Yes.
01:20:22I will.
01:20:35Come here.
01:20:43Come here.
01:20:48Stop it. Stop.
01:20:50I'm not kidding.
01:20:52Don't be so naughty, Governor.
01:20:55I like it when you're naughty.
01:21:16I want to take a moment to thank
01:21:18my parents
01:21:20and my campaign team
01:21:22and all my friends out there
01:21:24who've carried me through every challenge.
01:21:26But above all,
01:21:28I want to thank my wife,
01:21:32Ariel Rochester,
01:21:34whose strength,
01:21:36courage, and love
01:21:38I wouldn't be alive without today.
01:21:42This woman is not only my wife,
01:21:44she is the dream
01:21:46that carried me through my childhood,
01:21:48and she's the light that pierces
01:21:50my darkest days.
01:21:52Ariel,
01:21:54I love you. Can you hear that?
01:21:56Yes, I can.
01:21:58That includes me.
01:22:00Come here.
