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

01:00:33Congressman knows his life is just
01:00:35a breath away from death?
01:00:37Wanna get more treasure?
01:00:41Call him

01:00:45Oh, you want me to do it?
01:00:47Fine
01:00:51Do it
01:00:53No, Marcus, don't answer
01:00:55My goal
01:00:57is to increase economic growth by
01:00:5920% all while tackling homelessness
01:01:01and reducing crime
01:01:05Thanks
01:01:13Marcus, I'm so sorry
01:01:15I love you, I lied to you
01:01:17No, Ariel, Ariel, where are you?
01:01:19I lied to you about the phone calls
01:01:21I thought I could protect you
01:01:23And now I think that maybe if I
01:01:25had just been honest with you all along, none of this would have ever happened
01:01:27Ariel, please stay on the phone, okay?
01:01:29Just tell me where you-
01:01:31Come alone, no cops, or she dies
01:01:37I gotta go
01:01:39Come with me, just like Mitch and Biden
01:01:41You can't just leave now
01:01:51Oh, that's so sweet
01:01:53He's actually
01:01:55recommending this campaign
01:01:57to save you
