00:00:00Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist who did they think are going to be wearing these
00:00:11haute couture designer pieces today?
00:00:30But he is Mr. Congressman Marcus Flickson, and he is so handsome.
00:00:42Congressman Marcus is California's youngest and most promising political star.
00:00:46OMG, imagine eating someone that hot.
00:00:48Good morning, good morning.
00:00:50His wife had roaches, roaches, daddy.
00:00:54My friend Tommy said he adores his wife so much, he never brings her to any public events to protect her from the media.
00:01:02Has anyone ever actually seen his wife?
00:01:24I'm just a mother.
00:01:26Okay?
00:01:30Go home.
00:01:34We're married, but I'm just a pawn in his quest for power.
00:01:50In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:20I can hear.
00:02:27How can I...
00:02:32How can I hear?
00:02:34No security for a politician's wife.
00:02:40Dealing you was almost too easy.
00:02:43I'm kidnapped?
00:02:44Call your husband.
00:02:46Now!
00:02:47That's right.
00:02:48You're deaf.
00:02:49Don't work.
00:02:50Go on.
00:02:51Marcus.
00:02:52Marcus, please speak of the phone.
00:02:53Of course.
00:02:54You've got everything.
00:02:55Of course.
00:02:56Absolutely.
00:03:20Hello?
00:03:23Hello?
00:03:24I have your wife.
00:03:25And you're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her.
00:03:31Hello?
00:03:32I have your wife.
00:03:34And if you don't do exactly what I say, I'm gonna kill her.
00:03:38I don't have time for these games.
00:03:40Congressman Marcus.
00:03:41I truly cannot believe that you don't care about your wife's life.
00:03:45And I'm telling you, I get three or four of these scams a week, so why don't you go kick rocks?
00:03:49I'll tell you one more time.
00:03:50I'll tell you one more time.
00:03:51She's my hostage.
00:03:52Well, then call me when she's a corpse.
00:03:56Woo!
00:03:57That man is fucking cruel.
00:03:58You know that?
00:04:01Heartless politician.
00:04:03You know, if he doesn't care about whether or not you die, I guess it's my choice.
00:04:08And believe me, you're beautiful.
00:04:11It's a shame you're not going to know what you're doing, I'm sure.
00:04:17Mark it, you motherfucker!
00:04:27Tom?
00:04:30Tom, I keep getting scam calls to my phone.
00:04:32I need you to check out the origin of the number.
00:04:34I've already checked this number a hundred times.
00:04:36I understand, but we need to make sure that my wife is safe.
00:04:39Copy that.
00:04:40Also, if you could just let Mr. Versace know I'll be right with him.
00:04:59What are you doing?!
00:05:06No.
00:05:09Alcohol.
00:05:13Are you kidding me?
00:05:14Give me that!
00:05:22What is with the attitude?
00:05:23Hello?
00:05:32Mr. Flick, the call had an anti-spinence measure and it was too brief to trace.
00:05:36They also used a voice changer, so voice panelist is out.
00:05:39You don't.
00:05:41These people have no idea who they're dealing with.
00:05:44They really think that my wife is my weakness.
00:05:47Ridiculous.
00:05:48I guess I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you wanted me dead.
00:05:52Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel and absolutely under no circumstance does she find out.
00:06:01Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work.
00:06:03Understood?
00:06:04I've rigged this phone against tracking. Your husband can't trace it.
00:06:16Marcus marrying you three years ago for my sister was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:06:21Now that I have my hearing back, I'm gonna make sure everything gets back on track.
00:06:26Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding.
00:06:38Take the dress off.
00:06:40Really?
00:06:41This is what you want? To be the wife of a politician?
00:06:45It's just like the dress, it's not even yours.
00:06:47Do I have a choice?
00:06:49Let's get things straight.
00:06:50I need to marry Rochester in order to secure my run for the house.
00:06:53Your sister runs off, so now you get to be the replacement.
00:07:01So...
00:07:03I'm really just a replacement to you?
00:07:10Yeah.
00:07:12Yeah, you are.
00:07:16Okay, let's establish a couple ground rules.
00:07:18One, I'm technically gonna be married to Claire, so we have to conceal your identity.
00:07:24Two, you're not making any public appearances.
00:07:26And three, during our marriage, there are no children whatsoever.
00:07:31Okay?
00:07:33Are you listening?
00:07:34Why are you doing this to me?
00:07:39Because people like us are not afforded the choice.
00:07:42Ariel?
00:07:43Ariel, are you okay?
00:07:44Ariel?
00:07:45Ariel, are you okay?
00:07:46Ariel?
00:07:47Ariel?
00:07:48Ariel?
00:07:49Ariel, are you okay?
00:07:50Ariel?
00:07:51Ariel, are you okay?
00:07:52Ariel?
00:07:53Ariel?
00:07:54Ariel, are you okay?
00:07:55Ariel?
00:07:56Do you know what I'm talking about?
00:07:59Is Ariel recovered any of her hearing since that sudden deafness at the wedding?
00:08:00It's not so bad being deaf, Mrs. Flick.
00:08:04Has Ariel recovered any of her hearing since that sudden deafness at the wedding?
00:08:15It's not so bad being deaf, Mrs. Flick.
00:08:17It spares Ariel from hearing anything that might damage Marcus's campaign for governor.
00:08:22Exactly.
00:08:22And when Marcus becomes governor, we might consider cosmetic surgery for Ariel.
00:08:29Make her look more like her sister.
00:08:30I'm sure the public will sympathize with Marcus that he has not abandoned his disabled wife.
00:08:36You're so wise, Mr. Flick. That's a brilliant strategy.
00:08:41You all seem more concerned about politics than the well-being of my wife.
00:08:45You really think it's appropriate gloating over her condition?
00:08:48I was just considering your career.
00:08:50While we're on the topic, as long as I'm married to Ariel, we're not going to be doing any reconstructive surgery to make her look like her sister.
00:08:56I'm not going to allow it.
00:08:58Why is he defending me now?
00:09:00On that note, we're going to be taking our leave.
00:09:16Stop!
00:09:17I'm visiting wildfire victims tomorrow, and I need your help picking an outfit.
00:09:28Remember, nothing too high profile.
00:09:31Hey, not bad.
00:09:46Marcus.
00:09:51It's a good thing you couldn't hear what my parents said about you.
00:09:53I want to thank you all for making the time to be here today.
00:10:01I think that's a big deal.
00:10:06I think it's important to just acknowledge that in spite of recent events, it's...
00:10:11Divorce your wife, Ariel, Rochester, within a month, or your scandal goes public.
00:10:22Divorce your wife, Ariel, Rochester, within a month, or your scandal goes public.
00:10:22Our state goes through a lot of disasters, mudslides, we deal with droughts, we deal with wildfires.
00:10:39In my understanding, over the last 40 years, a lot of things have built up to this moment.
00:10:45A lot of things that are perceived to bring us to...
00:10:49Just one moment, guys.
00:10:58Who's this?
00:10:59Divorce your wife, Ariel, Rochester, within a month, or your scandal goes public.
00:11:04I don't think you've done your homework.
00:11:06My wife's name is Claire.
00:11:08No, Claire's the older sister.
00:11:10When she ran away three years ago, you married Ariel to save your political career.
00:11:14What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar, and a hypocrite?
00:11:21What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar, and a hypocrite?
00:11:25Swapping wives between two sisters?
00:11:27I don't know my wife's name is Ariel.
00:11:31Tell me who the hell this is.
00:11:32Doesn't matter who I am.
00:11:34Divorce your wife, and...
00:11:35Your secrets disappear with me.
00:11:36I mean, after all, she's just a substitute, and you hate her.
00:11:39So, it shouldn't really be a problem.
00:11:41There's no chance I'm divorcing Ariel.
00:11:43I don't know. There's nothing to think about it.
00:11:46I'll give you a month, or...
00:11:47I'll kill her.
00:11:53Kill her.
00:11:55It must be because Marcus is running for governor.
00:11:58So, now he doesn't want to divorce me.
00:12:02Now I need a new plan.
00:12:03Mr. Flick, you're about to be on camera, and the press will definitely make a big deal of that wound.
00:12:21Tom, I want you to get me the best computer engineers in the world.
00:12:24We're going to nail the bastards threatening Ariel.
00:12:27Copy that, sir.
00:12:28Also, I need you to make it a top priority that we find a fashion consultant, an awesome fashion editor.
00:12:35I want someone who understands political messaging.
00:12:42Hi, Johnny.
00:12:43There are some things that can only be appreciated once they're gone, you know?
00:12:57I mean, I've lived the past three years of my life in a silent hell, and now...
00:13:02Life has given me a second chance to hear again.
00:13:06This time...
00:13:07I'm going to live for myself.
00:13:13This time...
00:13:15I'm going to live for myself.
00:13:20Johnny, you're my guardian angel, you know that, right?
00:13:24I mean, I know that...
00:13:25When mom married into the Rochester family, they wouldn't accept you because of your...
00:13:30Differences, but...
00:13:33I need you to know that I would never give up on you.
00:13:37Ever.
00:13:41Okay?
00:14:07Dr. Park, is it possible to regain hearing in a case like my wife's?
00:14:15Is it treatable with surgery?
00:14:16Her sudden deafness was triggered by a severe shock.
00:14:20We can attempt surgery, but I must be honest, the chances of success are very slim.
00:14:26If it works, it would be absolutely close to a miracle.
00:14:30It's just something that doesn't happen very often.
00:14:33I'm so sorry.
00:14:35I know it's not the news you wanted to hear.
00:14:40We're doing everything we can, okay?
00:14:42Okay.
00:14:45There we go.
00:14:51Learn to please your husband and have a baby ASAP.
00:15:05I need you to trace them.
00:15:22Tom, the man just sent me a few photos.
00:15:33I need you to trace them.
00:15:35Yes, sir.
00:15:36Keep them on the line for more than five minutes for better tracking.
00:15:50Did you see that?
00:15:52It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:15:55She's cheating on you.
00:15:57My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:16:00It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:16:03She's cheating on you.
00:16:05My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:16:07Why? You don't think she's attractive enough?
00:16:10No, I think she's quite attractive, actually.
00:16:14I just know her.
00:16:15And she wouldn't betray her promises.
00:16:18You know, those photos you sent,
00:16:20the faces are unrecognizable.
00:16:22How are you so confident that they're my wife?
00:16:24Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife so well?
00:16:26Ariel has a birthmark on her chest.
00:16:28Surely you're familiar with it.
00:16:30How do you know about the birthmark?
00:16:31Who are you?
00:16:32It doesn't matter who I am.
00:16:34Here are my demands.
00:16:35Divorce your wife or this provocative photo goes public.
00:16:38I'll claim that the perfect congressman
00:16:40can't satisfy his wife.
00:16:42Leaving her to find happiness elsewhere.
00:16:44What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:16:52What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:16:55Damn, I hadn't thought of that.
00:16:57I hate her.
00:16:58I can't stand seeing her live such a privileged life.
00:17:01Well, I'm not going to indulge your twisted desires.
00:17:03She's my wife and I'm going to protect her.
00:17:06Don't act like you really love her.
00:17:07You're just worried that a divorce would hurt your political image.
00:17:10You think you know me so well?
00:17:13If you love someone, you don't trap them
00:17:14in a political sham marriage, you hypocrite.
00:17:18Hello?
00:17:20Hello?
00:17:22This man is too complicated to understand.
00:17:30No, sir.
00:17:30We've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software.
00:17:33You know, it's only been traced in the general area.
00:17:37Okay, go ahead.
00:17:38Your phone's location is within a five-mile radius.
00:17:42Which includes your house, sir?
00:17:49Ariel.
00:17:51She's in danger.
00:17:51She's in danger.
00:17:53She's in danger.
00:17:54She's in danger.
00:18:07Hey, how are you?
00:18:08I'm sorry.
00:18:08So, I'm going to get away.
00:18:09You're right.
00:18:10I'm going to kill you.
00:18:11I'm going to kill you.
00:18:11I need to kill you.
00:18:13It's all right.
00:18:14Everything is okay.
00:18:15So, how are you doing this?
00:18:16She's in danger.
00:18:16She's in danger.
00:18:17So, how are you doing this?
00:18:18Are you mad at me?
00:18:43Ariel.
00:18:44Don't!
00:18:45Okay.
00:18:47I won't touch you.
00:18:48We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image making
00:19:10and understands how each garment can tell a compelling story.
00:19:14Mom, what are you doing?
00:19:26That's my work.
00:19:27Instead of focusing on this garbage, why don't you learn how to dress nicely so you can catch
00:19:32a good man like your sister did?
00:19:33Mom, clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men.
00:19:37I can't believe you just said that.
00:19:38Ariel, you are going to stop chasing these fanciful dreams.
00:19:43Do you remember where you came from?
00:19:45Without my marriage into the Rochester family, you wouldn't even have the money to attend
00:19:49a private school and focus on this nonsense.
00:19:52If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me.
00:19:55Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband, just like I did.
00:20:01Well, the worst they could say is now.
00:20:18As long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer, I'm ready to work for
00:20:31anyone.
00:20:34I can't let anybody, especially him, find out I can hear again.
00:20:37I have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly.
00:20:41Maybe using text to speech is the best.
00:20:56My name is Ariel Anderson.
00:20:58I graduated from the School of Visual Art with a degree in Fashion Design.
00:21:01I lost my hearing due to an accident three years ago.
00:21:03Unfortunately, a hearing aid won't really help.
00:21:05Therefore, I'm appreciative if you could use pen and paper for communication.
00:21:09I assure you I can keep up.
00:21:11I'm concerned that our hearing might affect your performance.
00:21:13Recruiting a disabled woman will make our campaign team look more diverse and socially
00:21:18responsible.
00:21:20The board has been better than us.
00:21:21I hear both of your concerns, however.
00:21:23But the reality is we only need a wardrobe consultant that's qualified.
00:21:29The congressman needs to attend an unscheduled event.
00:21:32Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:21:35Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:21:44Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:21:44Is she modifying it just by eye?
00:21:59Congresswoman Flick, may I ask you to try it on?
00:22:135 feet 9 inches tall, 165 pounds, chest 33.6 inches, waist 32.9 inches, hips 35.7 inches.
00:22:36These are the congressman's measurements and I'm confident that they're accurate.
00:22:39That's entirely correct.
00:22:42True.
00:22:44But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:22:51But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:22:56Sorry, congressman, I can't hear.
00:22:59I want you to take a look at these photos.
00:23:05Tell us five things that you see wrong with them.
00:23:07The tie is too flashy, the pants are too short, and overall, the photo screams one word.
00:23:21Arrogance.
00:23:23She is incredible.
00:23:27She's the one.
00:23:28I was supposed to be divorcing him, but now I guess I'm working with him.
00:23:50Hi, I'm Daniel Campbell.
00:23:58It's good to meet you.
00:24:00I'm so happy to have you on the team.
00:24:02You're great.
00:24:04Would you like to get a coffee?
00:24:07Sure.
00:24:07Yeah?
00:24:08Yeah.
00:24:08Who is that guy?
00:24:19Can we fire that guy?
00:24:21What?
00:24:21No, that's inappropriate.
00:24:22We can't fire people for no good reason.
00:24:25You know, that'll go against our team's reputation.
00:24:27Also, not to mention the upcoming campaign.
00:24:30Well, then keep a close eye on him, okay?
00:24:31That's not part of my job.
00:24:36So, um, what happened?
00:24:37You're...
00:24:38You're...
00:24:40Sorry.
00:24:45Accident.
00:24:51Oh.
00:24:52Why don't you get, um, cochlear implants?
00:24:55Cochlear implants for your ear?
00:24:57Too...
00:24:58Robotic?
00:25:01Interesting.
00:25:02The...
00:25:03Silence.
00:25:06Helps.
00:25:07Do you need work?
00:25:09Cool.
00:25:18Do you have work, Campbell?
00:25:19It's my lunch break, Mr. Flick.
00:25:21Right.
00:25:23Well, then, I think my new wardrobe consultant
00:25:25needs to check on her duties.
00:25:26Ring.
00:25:39Ring.
00:25:49Ring.
00:25:49Ring.
00:25:49Ring.
00:25:49Didn't you insist that we hide the fact that we're married?
00:25:58So why would I bother wearing a ring?
00:26:02Someone hitting on you
00:26:04Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm a human too
00:26:09I have a life
00:26:10Oh my god
00:26:16Oh my god, it's you in the photo
00:26:18Fucking asshole
00:26:21Ariel, I'm sorry
00:26:23I'm sorry
00:26:25Ariel
00:26:36I'm sorry
00:26:38No, Ariel
00:26:42Don't forget
00:26:50I'm still paying your brother's medical bills
00:26:52Marcus, I cannot believe you threatened me with my own brother
00:27:01What happened to you?
00:27:04What happened to us?
00:27:11The more successful he becomes
00:27:13The more he feels like a stranger
00:27:15He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16
00:27:19Don't worry, just hold on tight
00:27:33And I'll always protect you
00:27:34Marcus
00:27:36How come you're always free to visit Johnny with me?
00:27:40Um
00:27:41Well, uh
00:27:43Your brother's my brother
00:27:44When I get older, I'm going to protect you, okay?
00:27:50I promise
00:27:50Stay
00:28:04Congressman Flick
00:28:20Forgive me for asking, but why have I never been introduced to your wife?
00:28:29Your competitors bring their spouses to events like this
00:28:32And they do quite well for themselves
00:28:34Right
00:28:34But I don't consider my wife to be an accessory
00:28:37She's her own person
00:28:38And I don't need her chained to me at all times
00:28:41You are the perfect husband
00:28:44Pleasure
00:28:46You again
00:28:58Don't know how to quit, huh?
00:29:00Have you made up your mind?
00:29:01Are you divorcing your wife or not?
00:29:03Threats, huh?
00:29:04Go ahead
00:29:04You're just going to want to regret this
00:29:06I don't understand you
00:29:07You say you love your wife
00:29:09And you want her to live a life that she chooses
00:29:11And then you turn around and you treat her like a prop
00:29:13You make me sick
00:29:14How did you hear about this?
00:29:16Are you at the gala?
00:29:19Have you ever asked her what kind of life she would like to live?
00:29:22Have you even asked her if she loves you?
00:29:24I swear to God if you do anything to Ariel, I will kill you
00:29:27I will make you regret it
00:29:29Ariel!
00:29:37Ariel!
00:29:37Ariel!
00:29:41Can you hear me?
00:29:43Have you recovered your hearing?
00:29:44Stop!
00:29:44Why did you turn around when I just called your name?
00:29:50Have you been on the phone?
00:29:53Oh my God
00:29:54Gas leak!
00:29:57Oh my God!
00:29:58Oh my God!
00:29:58Oh my God!
00:29:59On the porch
00:30:17She seemed to be on the phone
00:30:20Was it her all along?
00:30:23Water
00:30:23Why?
00:30:37Why?
00:30:37It's not her
00:30:41It's not her.
00:31:00Explain.
00:31:04Just friends.
00:31:06Friends?
00:31:08I'm going to bed.
00:31:09Hey, here we go.
00:31:14I'm jealous.
00:31:15Okay, I'm sorry.
00:31:16I'm jealous.
00:31:17I'm jealous of what you and Daniel have.
00:31:39What?
00:31:51Sleep.
00:31:52Yeah, but you're my wife.
00:31:57Yeah, but you're my wife.
00:32:12Sometimes I forget that you can't hear me.
00:32:15It's crazy that we've been married for three years.
00:32:19And I feel like you hate me more and more.
00:32:23You hate me for being in this marriage, but...
00:32:26If you're not with me, how can I protect you?
00:32:29I don't want you to be the perfect wife.
00:32:31You don't need to be the perfect daughter anymore.
00:32:35I just want you to do what you love.
00:32:38I'm the one stuck in this family.
00:32:43And that's enough.
00:32:49Marcus, I can't see you clearly.
00:32:52Sometimes you're cold and cruel, but other times...
00:32:55You sound like you love me.
00:32:58Which one is the real you?
00:33:09Sorry, I'm late, everybody.
00:33:11Once dinner, I'm going to be ready.
00:33:13Enough with the carbs, Marcus.
00:33:16Your body shape reflects the family you come from.
00:33:18You don't want to end up obese like one of those poor people, do you?
00:33:24Sorry, Mom.
00:33:25There you go.
00:33:47You mean PB&J, my favorite.
00:33:48You're right.
00:33:52Yeah.
00:33:55.
00:34:25Help with clothes.
00:34:55I really got to keep a close eye on her.
00:35:04Make sure she stays close to me.
00:35:07Sure enough, I'm never just your wife.
00:35:09I'm a pawn.
00:35:20So, we're going to have to make sure that everything is going to stick together.
00:35:23Oh, here we are.
00:35:25Hi, everybody.
00:35:26My name is Congressman Marcus Flick, and this is my team, okay?
00:35:30We came a long way to hear your thoughts.
00:35:32Please, guys, get them out there.
00:35:33I'm curious what you plan to do about this drought we've been struggling these last 18 months.
00:35:39That's a great question.
00:35:42Off the noggin, I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been finding their way to Sacramento,
00:35:48but they haven't also been falling onto deaf ears.
00:35:51Marcus is so handsome, isn't he?
00:35:53He's the pride of California.
00:35:55The most stylish, well-dressed politician in the state, hands down.
00:35:59And such a perfect husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her.
00:36:03Perfect husband?
00:36:05These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick.
00:36:08What'd you say?
00:36:12Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:36:14Do you want to check on the horses?
00:36:26Um, they're right over there.
00:36:36Come on, sweetie.
00:36:37Here, let me share.
00:36:44Looks like you two are having fun.
00:36:48Yeah, we are.
00:36:50If you want to pet a horse, I have one over here you can check out.
00:36:54This one's fine.
00:36:59Perfect.
00:37:00Congressman, can I get a shot of you two feeding the horse?
00:37:03Yeah, if you could feed the horse with her, please.
00:37:07This is great.
00:37:08Perfect.
00:37:10Yes, yes.
00:37:11Oh, perfect.
00:37:20What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:37:26What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:37:28That's insane.
00:37:29But everyone is praising his kindness and sincerity.
00:37:32No one is even noticing everyone.
00:37:34The governor's campaign is coming up.
00:37:36We need to be careful.
00:37:38Simone?
00:37:39I thought I told you to handle your daughter.
00:37:42Congressman, we're moving on to the next activity.
00:37:44Okay.
00:37:45I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:37:47You know, just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:37:48Okay.
00:37:49He is a control freak.
00:37:50Um, yeah, the two knew and, why did they just raise you?
00:37:51No, no.
00:37:52Yes, you got us.
00:37:53I did nothing.
00:37:54No one was.
00:37:55Mm-hmm.
00:37:56I thought we were going to be alone, you know?
00:37:58Congressman, we're moving on to the next activity.
00:37:59Okay.
00:38:00Um, I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:38:01Just, uh...
00:38:02Just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:38:03Okay.
00:38:04He is a control freak.
00:38:24So, I understand the likelihood of you guys actually being able to read this is pretty low.
00:38:29More or less, just trust me.
00:38:31Just trust me.
00:38:32Marcus!
00:38:34Are you, are you alright?
00:38:53Yeah, I'm alright.
00:38:55Are you hurt?
00:38:56Fine, I...
00:38:57Ariel, Ariel, can you hear me?
00:39:07No, I can't hear you.
00:39:10Ariel, if you can hear me, why are you answering my questions?
00:39:13I don't understand.
00:39:16Ariel, tell me the truth.
00:39:19Can you hear me?
00:39:27Why did you lie to me?
00:39:40Let go of me!
00:39:42How long have you had your hearing back, and when did you get your hearing back?
00:39:45Ariel, why did you lie to me?
00:39:51The day you wanted me dead.
00:39:56What are you talking about?
00:39:57The day my hearing came back was the day you wanted me dead.
00:40:00When did I want you dead?
00:40:02God, you really don't remember.
00:40:03The day I got kidnapped, the first thing I heard when I got my hearing back was you saying,
00:40:09call me back when she's a corpse.
00:40:13Oh my God.
00:40:15The phone call.
00:40:17It wasn't, it wasn't just a spam call.
00:40:21Why didn't you tell me that you were kidnapped?
00:40:23Why didn't you tell me that you were in danger?
00:40:25Have you always been like this?
00:40:27Blaming everybody but yourself?
00:40:29Did you even care that I was in danger?
00:40:31Do you even see me as your wife?
00:40:33Because every day that I spend with you, I am trapped in a life that I did not choose.
00:40:38How was I supposed to know that the way I'm treating you is causing you so much pain?
00:40:41Please just let me go.
00:40:44I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:40:49Please just let me go.
00:40:51I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:40:54Remember?
00:40:54You really think that of me?
00:40:55Uh-huh.
00:40:56Because I wasn't blind or heartless before, Marcus.
00:40:59I could still feel things, I just couldn't hear.
00:41:07Ariel, please.
00:41:08Don't.
00:41:10Don't touch me.
00:41:13Ariel!
00:41:24This is getting interesting.
00:41:31This is getting interesting.
00:41:35I don't know.
00:42:05Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:15I've heard you can hear again.
00:42:17Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:21Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:24I've heard you can hear again.
00:42:26Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:27What the hell do you want?
00:42:29I thought you'd want to hear someone's voice.
00:42:31Come on, sweetie.
00:42:33Say hello to your dear brother.
00:42:35Johnny?
00:42:36No, please don't hurt him.
00:42:37Oh, well, I can't guarantee that.
00:42:40It depends on my mood.
00:42:42Look, if you do anything you want, just don't hurt him.
00:42:46What a deep love.
00:42:47That's touching.
00:42:48But you ruined my plan last time, remember?
00:42:51I swear to God, if you touch a hair on his head, I will make you pay.
00:42:55Oh, I'm not going to kill him.
00:42:58But as a punishment for your escape, I'm going to leave him in the mountains.
00:43:02I hope he's lucky enough to survive.
00:43:04Adrian, Amanda, the reality is we only have about eight weeks left of this campaign, so we need to lock in.
00:43:17Our goal is to get a hold of Sacramento, L.A., San Diego.
00:43:20I'll give you all the official sprints.
00:43:22Johnny?
00:43:28Johnny?
00:43:28Johnny?
00:43:29Johnny?
00:43:29Johnny, it's going to be okay.
00:43:31I'm here now.
00:43:31I'm here.
00:43:32It's okay.
00:43:32It's me.
00:43:33It's Ariel.
00:43:33I'm here.
00:43:33It's okay.
00:43:34It's okay.
00:43:35I'm here.
00:43:36I'm here.
00:43:38It's going to be okay.
00:43:39It's okay.
00:43:42Congressman Flick, we found the woman in the unconscious now.
00:43:45Congressman Marcus?
00:43:47Marcus?
00:43:48Marcus, it's Johnny.
00:43:49There's something wrong, and I don't know what to do.
00:43:51I got you, okay?
00:43:51Don't panic.
00:43:52I'm going to take care of him.
00:43:53We need to get him to the hospital immediately.
00:43:55We're going to take a helicopter.
00:44:03Listen to me, okay?
00:44:04He's going to go to the hospital.
00:44:06We're going to take care of him immediately.
00:44:07But you're hurt, too.
00:44:08You need treatment.
00:44:11Congressman Flick, can you ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:16She's my...
00:44:17She's my wife.
00:44:23Can you ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:26She's my...
00:44:27She's...
00:44:29She's my wife.
00:44:35And the victim's my brother.
00:44:37This is your wife?
00:44:39Yes.
00:44:40And we need to get her to the hospital immediately.
00:44:42She's in shock.
00:44:44We'll talk about this later.
00:44:45Doctor, how's my brother?
00:44:51Doctor, how's my brother?
00:45:04The patient's stable.
00:45:06He's just a little shaken up.
00:45:07He'll be fine.
00:45:08He just needs rest.
00:45:09We appreciate your care.
00:45:11Thank you, doctor.
00:45:12Mr. Congressman Flick.
00:45:14It's an honor to serve you.
00:45:15We'll give him the best of everything.
00:45:17Don't worry.
00:45:18We'll take good care of your family.
00:45:20Marcus, I don't know how...
00:45:27You ruined everything again!
00:45:32You ruined everything again!
00:45:35Your son's in a coma, and your daughter's injured, and you're just gonna come over here
00:45:38are pointing fingers in a hospital.
00:45:40Marcus, it's all over the news.
00:45:41Ariel went and rescued Johnny today.
00:45:44If people find out she's in a relationship with you, it could ruin your chances of being
00:45:48governor.
00:45:48That's not the point, okay?
00:45:50Family...
00:45:51Family comes first.
00:45:52Don't misunderstand me.
00:45:53I care for Johnny.
00:45:55But he's out of danger now, and it's just a matter of time before he recovers.
00:45:59But you...
00:46:00You're in the middle of an election!
00:46:02One mistake can cost us everything!
00:46:04You care about election results, but I think you only care about your own profits, don't
00:46:08you?
00:46:09I'm telling you right now, you're gonna treat my wife with respect, or you're gonna have
00:46:13to leave.
00:46:14Now leave.
00:46:20Don't take it personally.
00:46:22How could I not?
00:46:23She's done this my whole life, regardless of if I could hear or not.
00:46:27That's...
00:46:27That's the family I grew up in.
00:46:30Listen to me.
00:46:31You?
00:46:32Me, Johnny.

01:02:27Ariel, I'm gonna get you home.
01:02:29Let's go out of here.
01:02:35Martha's behind you!
01:02:37It's you?
01:02:47It's you?
01:02:49It's you?
01:02:51It's you?
01:02:53Well, we were friends. You approached me!
01:03:01After years of digging and searching, I uncovered the real secrets about your perfect marriage. Yeah, I kidnapped you once you got away. You stole my phone too, so I had to get closer. I joined your campaign team.
01:03:15Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't track the threatening calls you were getting? That's because your culprit was right there on your IT team. How blind can you be?
01:03:29Marcus, do you?
01:03:31Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't track the threatening calls you were getting? That's because your culprit was right there on your IT team. How blind can you be?
01:03:43This is all because you're trying to sabotage my campaign? It's not even worth it! Look at my face! Do you even recognize me? Do you know who I am? Of course you don't. Let me remind you. Fifteen years ago, the orphanage, your best friend.

Fifteen years ago, the orphanage, your best friend.
01:04:12Your best friend.
01:04:20No. No, no, it can't be. Yeah. Yeah, Marcus, it is.
01:04:37No. No, no, it can't be.
01:04:41Yeah. Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:04:45Hey, where's my money, huh? I don't have it. Where's my cash?
01:04:49I don't have anything. Leave him alone! Leave him alone!
01:04:56You okay?
01:04:57What happened?
01:04:59He called me a fat pig.
01:05:02Ignore them. They're just jerks.
01:05:04Thanks, Marcus. Can I hang out with you?
01:05:07Of course. We're friends now.
01:05:09Sean.
01:05:10Sean.
01:05:11What happened here? You've changed.
01:05:12You recognize me now?
01:05:15Noble congressman, or should I say you're an orphan nobody wanted?
01:05:21You keep that a secret from your voters, too.
01:05:24Sean, why do you hate me? We were friends.
01:05:26Why do you hate me? Why are you targeting Ariel?
01:05:28Friends!
01:05:29You stole everything from me, Marcus.
01:05:32That stage you parade around on.
01:05:35This life of power and respect belong to me, not to you.
01:05:39And at first I'd let it go. I wanted to let it go.
01:05:46But every time I turned on the TV, I saw you parading around this perfect life and it wasn't fair.
01:05:52The flicks chose Marcus.
01:05:54Shut up!
01:05:55The flicks chose me.
01:05:57But on adoption day, yeah, you remember, I got sick from the cake you gave me.
01:06:02I was at the hospital with food poisoning, so they took you instead.
01:06:06Sean, I went back to the orphanage.
01:06:08I spoke to the dean and he said that you were adopted by a loving family, that you were happy.
01:06:12Happy?
01:06:15I was adopted into a nightmare.
01:06:18A couple that divorced and left me out to rot.
01:06:21What about that is happy?
01:06:25Sean, I'm sorry for what you went through, but revenge is not the way.
01:06:29We gotta figure this out together.
01:06:30Figure it out?
01:06:31What are we gonna figure out, Marcus?
01:06:33I spent years suffering watching you live my life.
01:06:36We are never figuring it out.
01:06:43Hold on, I got you.
01:06:44Sean, I'm not gonna let you fall any further.
01:06:49Come on.
01:06:51Sean.
01:06:53Sean.
01:06:55Sean, we don't have to hate each other.
01:06:57Okay.
01:06:58Just let it go.
01:06:59I will go to the police.
01:07:00I will explain everything.
01:07:01You don't have to worry about it.
01:07:02Just, please...
01:07:04Please don't let the hatred consume you.
01:07:10You are always a Saint, Marcus.
01:07:12Marcus, look out!
01:07:13Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Are you okay?
01:07:19Perfect. You get to die in front of the one you love the most. My revenge is complete.
01:07:28Daniel, don't you don't need me!
01:07:36It's okay. You're okay. Just a pleasure.
01:07:38Don't cry.
01:07:39Let's give you a good hand pint.
01:07:40I'm fine.
01:07:41I'm fine.
01:07:45Daniel, you don't need to-
01:07:50It's okay. You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:07:53You're okay. I'm fine. I need you to apply pressure.
01:07:57I need you to stay with me. Okay?
01:08:01I love you and I need you to hang in there, okay?
01:08:03I love you.
01:08:04Don't say that right now. Please just hold that for later. We're gonna say that later.
01:08:08Okay? We're gonna get out of here. Do you trust me?
01:08:10I trust you.
01:08:13I don't want-
01:08:14Come to the lake. Now! Marcus Flunk is dying!

01:14:33All right, guys, let's do it again.
01:14:45And action.
01:14:53Can you hear it in the quiet night?
01:14:57Where my heart still beats for you.
01:15:06A love unspoken, lost in time.
01:15:13Yet every breath still calls you through.
01:15:19I reached for you in shadowed hearts.
01:15:23But silence filled these aching walls still.
01:15:28Love was screaming in my chest.
01:15:32The truth I buried, unconfessed.
01:15:43Hear my love in the wind, in the rain.
01:15:49In the stars that whispered your name.
01:15:59The words were lost.
01:16:02The hearts were blind.
01:16:06Love was calling on this time.
01:16:10I guess we'll come between and then see.
01:16:13A lot to draw.
01:16:14You held me close, but never stayed.
01:16:21A fleeting warmth, a love afraid.
01:16:28Yet in your touch, in the stolen sight.
01:16:35I felt the words behind your eyes.
01:16:41You spoke in silence, I spoke in pain.
01:16:45Two hearts that dripped the boundless sea.
01:16:48Still love was burning soft and wild.
01:16:55A melody that stretched for miles.
01:17:01Hear my love in the wind, in the rain.
01:17:07In the stars that whispered your name.
01:17:12No words were lost.
01:17:19No hearts were blind.
01:17:24Love was calling all this time.
01:17:30When the night tried to pull us apart.
01:17:34I heard your soul inside my heart.
01:17:37Not in echoes, not in fear.
01:17:39But in the love that's out of here.
01:17:44You're here, my love.
01:17:47It's yours to keep.
01:17:49No more silence.
01:17:51No more sleep.
01:17:52Say my name.
01:17:55Break the night.
01:17:59Let love be hurt.
01:18:02Let love burst bright.
01:18:06If love was lost in silent cry.
01:18:13Tonight, you'll hear it in my eyes.
01:18:23I will burn you all.
01:18:24Take your breath.
01:18:25Bye.
01:18:29I'll never forget.
01:18:30Now when you're now leaving.
01:18:32But you're finally in the rain, it's coming to be dangerous.
01:18:34Not in the rain, but you're too ready to be sick.
01:18:36No more sleep.
01:18:37Not in chaos.
01:18:38I won't be a big deal.
01:18:39Never mind.
01:18:40Not in chaos like you are waiting for your heart.
01:18:42Not in chaos.
01:18:43Not in darkness.
01:18:44Not in chaos.
01:18:45Not in chaos.
01:18:46Not in chaos.
01:18:47Not in chaos.
01:18:48Not in chaos.
01:18:49Bye bye bye.
