00:00:00Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist?
00:00:10Who do they think are going to be wearing these Haute Couture designer pieces today?
00:00:30There is Mr. Congressman Marcus Flickson. He is so handsome.
00:00:42Congressman Marcus is California's youngest and most promising political star.
00:00:46OMG, imagine dating someone that high.
00:00:50His wife is at Rochester. My friend Tommy said he adores his wife so much.
00:00:57He never brings her to any public events to protect her from the media.
00:01:02Has anyone ever actually seen his wife?
00:01:05I'm just a moment.
00:01:11I'm just a moment.
00:01:17Okay.
00:01:21I'm just a moment.
00:01:28Okay.
00:01:30Go home.
00:01:35We're married, but I'm just a pawn in his quest for power. In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:01:54I am just a moment.
00:01:55But look a lot of the stars he can't see.
00:01:56Let's go.
00:01:57Perfect.
00:01:58We're so excited about being here.
00:01:59We're in this moment.
00:02:00This is 어떻게 omit his shining star.
00:02:01We're in this moment of a moment.
00:02:02And we're still rocking out today.
00:02:03Oh-oh.
00:02:11I'm not in this moment.
00:02:12Yes, let me do.
00:02:13I'm leaving this moment
00:02:14I'm leaving this moment.
00:02:16I'm in this moment.
00:02:17I'm leaving here.
00:02:19I'm leaving this moment.
00:02:22I can hear.
00:02:31How can I...
00:02:33How can I hear?
00:02:36No security for a politician's wife.
00:02:41Dealing you was almost too easy.
00:02:43I'm kidnapped?
00:02:45Call your husband.
00:02:47Now!
00:02:49That's right.
00:02:51You're deaf.
00:02:52We're good now.
00:02:55Go on.
00:03:03Marcus?
00:03:04Marcus, please pick.
00:03:06Please pick up the phone.
00:03:08Of course.
00:03:09You've got it, of course.
00:03:10Absolutely.
00:03:20Hello?
00:03:20Hello?
00:03:23Hello?
00:03:24I have your wife.
00:03:25You're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her.
00:03:31Hello?
00:03:32I have your wife.
00:03:33And if you don't do exactly what I say, I'm going to 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.
00:03:51She's my hostage.
00:03:52Well, then call me when she's a corpse.
00:03:54That man is fucking cruel.
00:03:59You 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.
00:04:09And believe me, you're beautiful.
00:04:11It's a shame you're not going to know what you're doing, I'm sure.
00:04:16Shut up!
00:04:17Marcus, you motherfucker!
00:04:27Tom?
00:04:30Tom, I keep getting scam calls to my phone.
00:04:33I 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.
00:04:58What are you doing?
00:05:06Are you kidding me?
00:05:14Give me that.
00:05:22What is with the attitude?
00:05:30Hello?
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 a voice analyst is out.
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.
00:05:48Marcus, I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you wanted me dead.
00:05:54Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel.
00:05:58And absolutely under no circumstances, you find out.
00:06:01Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work.
00:06:03Understood?
00:06:06I've rigged this phone against tracking.
00:06:14Your 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 going to make sure everything gets back on track.
00:06:26Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding.
00:06:37Take the dress off.
00:06:40Really?
00:06:40This is what you want, to be the wife of a politician?
00:06:45It's just like the dress.
00:06:46It'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.
00:06:55So now, you get to be the replacement.
00:06:57So, I'm really just a replacement to you.
00:07:05Yeah.
00:07:12Yeah, you are.
00:07:12Okay, let's establish a couple ground rules.
00:07:18One, I'm technically going to 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.
00:07:30Are you listening?
00:07:34Why are you doing this to me?
00:07:38Because people like us are not afforded the choice.
00:07:52Ariel.
00:07:54Ariel, are you okay?
00:07:57Ariel.
00:08:00Has Ariel recovered any of her hearing since that sudden deafness at the wedding?
00:08:15It's not so bad being deaf, Mrs. Flick.
00:08:18It spares Ariel from hearing anything that might damage Marcus' campaign for governor.
00:08:22Exactly.
00:08:23And when Marcus becomes governor, we might consider cosmetic surgery for Ariel.
00:08:28Make her look more like her sister.
00:08:31I'm sure the public will sympathize with Marcus that he has not abandoned his disabled wife.
00:08:37You're so wise, Mr. Flick.
00:08:38That'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.
00:08:57I'm not going to allow it.
00:08:59Why is he defending me now?
00:09:01On that note, we're going to be taking our leave.
00:09:04Stop!
00:09:21I'm visiting wildfire victims tomorrow, and I need your help picking an outfit.
00:09:28Remember, nothing too high profile.
00:09:31Oh, my goodness.
00:09:41Hey, not bad.
00:09:47Marcus.
00:09:51It's a good thing you couldn't hear what my parents said about you.
00:09:53I just 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...
00:10:19Divorce your wife, Ariel, Rochester, within a month, or your scandal goes public.
00:10:23Our 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...
00:10:48Just one moment, guys.
00:10:58Who is this?
00:10:59Divorce your wife, Ariel, at Rochester, within a month.
00:11:01Or your scandal goes public.
00:11:03I don't think you've done your homework.
00:11:07My 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.
00:11:15What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:11:19What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:11:25Swapping wives between two sisters?
00:11:28I 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.
00:11:37I mean, after all, she's just a substitute and you hate her.
00:11:39So, it shouldn't really be a problem.
00:11:42There's no chance I'm divorcing Ariel.
00:11:43I don't think I'm sick 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.
00:12:22Tom, I want you to get me the best computer engineers in the world.
00:12:24We're going to nail the bastards threatening Ariel.
00:12:28Top of that, sir.
00:12:28Also, I need you to make it a top priority that we find a fashion consultant.
00:12:34I want some fashion editor.
00:12:35I want someone who understands political messaging.
00:12:42Hi, Johnny.
00:12:53There are some things that can only be appreciated once they're gone.
00:12:56I mean, I've lived the past three years of my life in a silent hell, and now life has given me a second chance to hear again.
00:13:06This time, I'm going to live for myself.
00:13:13This time, I'm going to live for myself.
00:13:20Johnny, you're my guardian angel.
00:13:22You know that, right?
00:13:22I mean, I know that when mom married into the Rochester family, they wouldn't accept you because of your differences.
00:13:32But I need you to know that I would never give up on you.
00:13:38Ever.
00:13:41Okay?
00:13:41Okay?
00:13:41I'm going to live for myself.
00:14:11Is it possible to regain hearing in a case like my wife's?
00:14:15Is it treatable with surgery?
00:14:17Her 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.
00:14:55Listen to me.
00:15:18Tom, 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.
00:15:48Did 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.
00:16:01It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:16:04She's cheating on you.
00:16:06My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:16:08Why? You don't think she's attractive enough?
00:16:10No, I think she's quite attractive, actually.
00:16:14I just know her.
00:16:16And 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?
00:16:27Ariel 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...
00:16:40You can'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.
00:17:04She's my wife and I'm going to protect her.
00:17:06Don't act like you really love her.
00:17:08You'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 in a political sham marriage, you hypocrite.
00:17:18Hello?
00:17:20Hello?
00:17:22This man is too complicated to understand.
00:17:24Now, sir, we've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software.
00:17:34You 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, which includes your house, sir.
00:17:49Ariel.
00:17:51She's in danger.
00:17:52She's in danger.
00:18:06Oh, my God.
00:18:19I don't.
00:18:19Are you mad at me?
00:18:43Ariel.
00:18:44Don't!
00:18:46Okay.
00:18:47I won't touch you.
00:18:49We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image making
00:19:11and 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?
00:19:34Mom, clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men.
00:19:37I can't believe you just said that.
00:19:39Ariel, 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.
00:19:53If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me.
00:19:56Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband.
00:20:00Just like I did.
00:20:01If you are done, please.
00:20:13Okay.
00:20:17Well, the worst they could say is now.
00:20:19as long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer
00:20:30i'm ready to work for anyone
00:20:32i 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
00:20:49my name is ariel anderson i 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 of the use of pen and paper for communication
00:21:09i assure you i can keep up
00:21:10i'm concerned that her hearing might affect her performance
00:21:13recruiting a disabled woman will make our campaign team look more diverse
00:21:18and socially responsible
00:21:19the board has within better of 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

00:26:02Someone hitting on you.
00:26:07Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm a human too. I have a life.
00:26:15Oh my god. Oh my god, it's you in the photo.
00:26:19Ah, fucking asshole.
00:26:22Ariel, I'm sorry.
00:26:24I'm sorry!
00:26:35Ariel.
00:26:37I'm sorry.
00:26:41No, Ariel.
00:26:45Don't forget, I'm still paying your brother's medical bills.
00:26:58Marcus, I cannot believe you'd threaten me with my own brother.
00:27:02What happened to you?
00:27:05What happened to us?
00:27:06The more successful he becomes, the more he feels like a stranger.
00:27:16He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16.
00:27:19Don't worry, just hold on tight, and I'll always protect you.
00:27:36Marcus?
00:27:37How come you're always free to visit Johnny with me?
00:27:39Um, well, uh, your brother's my brother.
00:27:45When I get older, I'm going to protect you, okay?
00:27:50I promise.
00:27:50Stay.
00:28:18Stay.
00:28:18Congressman Flick.
00:28:26Forgive me for asking, but why have I never been introduced to your wife?
00:28:29Your competitors bring their spouses to events like this, and they do quite well for themselves.
00:28:34Right.
00:28:35Uh, but I don't consider my wife to be an accessory.
00:28:38She's her own person.
00:28:39And, uh, I don't need her chained to me at all times.
00:28:42You are the perfect husband.
00:28:46Pleasure.
00:28:46You again.
00:28:59Don'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.
00:29:05You're just going to want to regret it.
00:29:06I don't understand you.
00:29:07You say you love your wife, and 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.
00:29:15How did you hear about this?
00:29:18Are 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.
00:29:31Ariel!
00:29:37Ariel!
00:29:37Can 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.
00:29:57Gas leak!
00:29:57Oh, my God!
00:29:58Oh, my God!
00:29:58On the porch, she seemed to be on the phone.
00:30:21Was it her all along?
00:30:23Water.
00:30:28It's not her.
00:30:57What?
00:30:58Explain.
00:31:05Just friends.
00:31:06Friends?
00:31:09I'm going to bed.
00:31:11Ariel.
00:31:11I'm jealous.
00:31:16Okay?
00:31:16I'm sorry.
00:31:17I'm jealous.
00:31:18I'm jealous of what you and Daniel have.
00:31:28What?
00:31:52I'm jealous of what you mean.
00:31:53What?
00:31:55Sleep.
00:31:57Yeah, but you're my wife.
00:32:09Sometimes I forget that she can't hear me.
00:32:13It's crazy that we've been married for three years.
00:32:17And I feel like you hate me more and more.
00:32:21You hate me for being in this marriage,
00:32:25but if 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.
00:32:33I just want you to do what you love.
00:32:37I'm the one stuck in this family.
00:32:41And that's enough.
00:32:45Marcus, I can't see you clearly.
00:32:51Sometimes you're cold and cruel,
00:32:53but other times,
00:32:55you sound like you love me.
00:32:57Which one is the real you?
00:32:59Sorry, I'm late everybody.
00:33:11Once dinner, I'm gonna be ready.
00:33:13Enough with the carbs, Marcus.
00:33:15Your body shape reflects the family you come from.
00:33:17You don't want to end up obese like one of those poor people, do you?
00:33:23I'm sorry, Mom.
00:33:25Sorry, Mom.
00:33:27I will move chat.
00:33:45There, you're home.
00:33:47You mean PB&J. My favorite.
00:33:52Yeah.
00:34:50With clothes?
00:34:51Thanks.
00:34:52I really got to keep a close eye on her.
00:35:05Make sure she stays close to me.
00:35:07Sure enough, I'm never just your wife.
00:35:09I'm a pawn.
00:35:10Probably.
00:35:20So, we're going to have to make sure that everything is going to stick together.
00:35:24Oh, here we are.
00:35:25Hi, everybody.
00:35:26My name is Congressman Marcus Flick.
00:35:29And 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.
00:35:40That's a great question.
00:35:42Off the noggin.
00:35:43I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been finding their way
00:35:47to Sacramento, but they haven't also been falling onto deaf ears.
00:35:50Marcus is so handsome, isn't he?
00:35:51He's the pride of California.
00:35:52The most stylish, well-dressed politician in the state, hands down.
00:36:00And such a perfect husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her.
00:36:04Perfect husband?
00:36:05These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick.
00:36:08What'd you say?
00:36:12Sorry.
00:36:13I didn't mean to scare you.
00:36:15Do you want to check on the horses?
00:36:26Awesome.
00:36:27Um, they're right over there.
00:36:28Okay.
00:36:36Come on, sweetie.
00:36:37Here.
00:36:38Let me share.
00:36:45Looks like you two are having fun.
00:36:48Yeah.
00:36:49We 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.
00:37:00Perfect.
00:37:01Congressman, can I get a shot of you two feeding the horse?
00:37:04Yeah, if you could feed the horse with her, please.
00:37:07This is great.
00:37:09Perfect.
00:37:10Yes.
00:37:11Yes.
00:37:12Oh, perfect.
00:37:21What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:37:27What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:37:29That's insane.
00:37:30What everyone is praising is kindness and sincerity.
00:37:33No one is even noticing everyone.
00:37:35The governor's campaign is coming up.
00:37:38We need to be careful.
00:37:42We need to be careful.
00:37:46Simone?
00:37:47I thought I told you to handle your daughter.
00:37:55Congressman, we're moving on to the next activity.
00:37:57Okay.
00:37:58I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:38:01You know, just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:38:03Okay.
00:38:04He is a control freak.
00:38:12He 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.
00:38:32Marcus!
00:38:42Are you alright?
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:44I'm alright.
00:38:45Are you hurt?
00:38:46Fine I...
00:38:48Ariel.
00:38:49Ariel, can you hear me?
00:38:52No!
00:38:53I can't hear you.
00:38:54Ariel, if you can hear me, why are you answering my question?
00:38:56Fine, I...
00:39:03Ariel, 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.
00:39:20Can 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?
00:39:46Ariel, why did you lie to me?
00:39:51The day you want to meet Dad.
00:39:56What are you talking about?
00:39:58The 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.
00:40:04The day I got kidnapped?
00:40:05The 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.
00:40:18It wasn't... it wasn't just a spam call.
00:40:22Why 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?
00:40:30Did 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?
00:40:42Please just let me go.
00:40:44I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:40:46I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:40:54Remember?
00:40:55You really think that of me?
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.
00:41:11Ariel.
00:41:14Ariel.
00:41:26So, she can actually hear now.
00:41:31This is getting interesting.
00:41:32This is getting interesting.
00:41:41This is getting interesting.
00:41:48Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:15I've heard you can hear again.
00:42:17Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:22Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:24I've heard you can hear again.
00:42:26Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:28What 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.
00:42:38Oh, well, I can't guarantee that.
00:42:40It depends on my mood.
00:42:42I'll give you anything you want.
00:42:43Just don't hurt him.
00:42:45What 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.
00:42:57But 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.
00:43:10Adrian, Amanda, the reality is we only have about eight weeks left of this campaign.
00:43:15So we need to lock in.
00:43:17Our goal is to get a hold of Sacramento, L.A., San Diego.
00:43:21All the official sprints.
00:43:27Johnny!
00:43:28Johnny!
00:43:29Johnny!
00:43:30Johnny, it's going to be okay!
00:43:31I'm here now!
00:43:32I'm here!
00:43:33It's okay, it's me!
00:43:34It's Ariel, I'm here!
00:43:35It's okay!
00:43:36It's okay!
00:43:37I'm here!
00:43:38It's going to be okay.
00:43:40It's okay.
00:43:41Congressman Flick, we found the woman in the unconscious now.
00:43:45Congressman...
00:43:46Marcus?
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?
00:43:52Don't panic.
00:43:53I'm going to take care of him.
00:43:54We need to get him to the hospital immediately!
00:43:56We're going to take a helicopter!
00:44:03Listen to me, okay?
00:44:05He's going to go to the hospital, we're going to take care of him immediately.
00:44:08But you're hurt too, we need treatment.
00:44:11Congressman Flick, can you ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:16She's my...
00:44:18She's my wife.
00:44:23Can you ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:26She's my...
00:44:28She's...
00:44:29She's my wife.
00:44:34And 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.
00:44:43We'll talk about this later.
00:44:45Doctor.
00:44:46How's my brother?
00:44:47The patient's stable.
00:44:48He's just a little shaken up.
00:44:49But he'll be fine.
00:44:50He just needs rest.
00:44:51We appreciate your care.
00:44:52Thank you, Doctor.
00:44:53Mr. Congressman Flick.
00:44:54It's an honor to serve you.
00:44:55We'll give him the best of everything.
00:44:56Don't worry.
00:44:57We'll take good care of your family.
00:44:59Marcus.
00:45:00I don't know how...
00:45:02You ruined everything!
00:45:03Again!
00:45:04You ruined everything!
00:45:05You ruined everything again!
00:45:06You ruined everything again!
00:45:07You ruined everything again!
00:45:08You ruined everything again!
00:45:09You ruined everything again!
00:45:10Your son's in a coma and your daughter's injured and you're just gonna come over here and
00:45:14start pointing fingers in a hospital.
00:45:15Marcus, it's an honor to serve you.
00:45:16We'll give him the best of everything.
00:45:17You ruined everything again!
00:45:19You ruined everything again!
00:45:21Your son's in a coma and your daughter's injured and you're just gonna come over here and
00:45:39pointing fingers in a hospital?
00:45:40Marcus, it's all over the news.
00:45:42Ariel 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.
00:45:49That's not the point.
00:45:50Okay?
00:45:51Family...
00:45:52Family comes first.
00:45:53Don't misunderstand me.
00:45:54I 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,
00:46:08don't you?
00:46:09I'm telling you right now, you're gonna treat my wife with respect.
00:46:11Or you're gonna have to leave.
00:46:13Now leave.
00:46:14I'll take it personally.
00:46:15How could I not?
00:46:16She's done this for my whole life regardless of if I could hear or not.
00:46:18That's... that's the family I grew up in.
00:46:19Listen to me.
00:46:20You, me, Johnny...
00:46:21We're each other's family.
00:46:22Come on.
00:46:23Come on.
00:46:24Come on.
00:46:25Come on.
00:46:26Come on.
00:46:27Come on.
00:46:28Come on.
00:46:29Aye.
00:46:30Mr.
00:46:31Listen to me.
00:46:32You, me, Johnny...
00:46:33...we're each other's family.
00:46:40Okay?
00:46:41I don't know.
00:47:11This is the first phone call we've had since you...
00:47:13Since you lost your hearing three years ago?
00:47:15Yeah.
00:47:16First call.
00:47:18Yeah.
00:47:20Wait.
00:47:21Is this the first...
00:47:23Could you call me on another line?
00:47:25No, uh, no.
00:47:26That's not what I meant.
00:47:28How did you know Johnny was in danger today?
00:47:31Well, I asked the caretakers to inform me if anything ever happened to him.
00:47:34So...
00:47:35Why?
00:47:36Why would you do that?
00:47:38Well, because I promised you, Ariel.
00:47:40I promised that I was going to protect Johnny.
00:47:43I guess I...
00:47:44I don't know what to say.
00:47:45I mean, thank you.
00:47:47Thank you, Johnny.
00:47:47I'm so scared.
00:47:49I can't imagine what I would do if anything happened to him.
00:47:53He's my only family left.
00:47:56Open the door.
00:47:57Open the door.
00:48:03Open the door.
00:48:03Hey.
00:48:23Wait, wait.
00:48:25Wait, wait.
00:48:30You know, I would have gone crazy if anything happened to you today.
00:48:34Thank you, Marcus, for everything.
00:48:39Come to the office tomorrow.
00:48:42I got something to share with you.
00:48:49Hey.
00:48:51I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:48:54Why?
00:48:57I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:00Why?
00:49:01Because I've been pushing you too much.
00:49:03And you need to follow your dreams.
00:49:09Here.
00:49:10What's this?
00:49:11This is the key to a design studio in downtown.
00:49:16I raised $3 million in capital just for you.
00:49:18It's all yours.
00:49:20Are you serious?
00:49:21I'm not joking.
00:49:22And I need you to promise me something, okay?
00:49:25Please do not tell your mom or anybody that you can hear now.
00:49:28Probably best so they're not judging us.
00:49:31Okay.
00:49:32I have something for you too.
00:49:36What is this?
00:49:37Um, well, for the past three years I have been documenting some of your looks.
00:49:46It's just some ideas, designs and things.
00:49:51It's perfect.
00:49:52Come here.
00:49:53Come in.
00:49:54Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:49:58Come in.
00:49:59Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:01Come in.
00:50:02Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:03Come in.
00:50:04Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:05Okay.
00:50:06Go ahead.
00:50:07Well, your governor's campaign has hit a critical phase.
00:50:14But your support is slipping.
00:50:15And meanwhile, Stephen Hopkins, his approval ratings are climbing.
00:50:17Okay.
00:50:18Well, your governor's campaign has hit a critical phase.
00:50:21But your support is slipping.
00:50:22And meanwhile, Stephen Hopkins, his approval ratings are climbing.
00:50:27I have it under control.
00:50:47Under control.
00:50:48I don't see any progress in that.
00:50:50You are too distracted.
00:50:53too distracted. Father, I'll handle my campaign. Ariel is not the problem. Hopkins' wife is actively
00:51:01involved in women's foundations and charity events, boosting his appeal. If you want to
00:51:06gain ground, Marcus, you need to present the image of a flawless family.
00:51:11Dress like Claire and join Marcus at campaign events?
00:51:29You won't do it?
00:51:41Father Ariel? She is herself. She's not imitating her sister. She's not going to pretend to be
00:51:49anyone else in order to win political votes. You ungrateful son of a bitch! We gave you
00:51:56everything! Resources, trading, this position, and this? This is how you're going to disobey us?
00:52:04This is my wife, okay? Insulting her is disrespecting me!
00:52:08Respect! You, you are nothing without the Flick name. Nothing!
00:52:19You, you are nothing! Everything that you have here is us! None of your merit!
00:52:28And I am thankful for what you did for me, but I'm not going to use the people I love
00:52:32to win political games! That is my boundary.
00:52:35A true politician has no soft spots, Marcus.
00:52:38Well, if being a successful politician means using the people I love, then I'll give it
00:52:44all up.
00:52:45How can you say that, Marcus?
00:52:47This is ridiculous!
00:52:49If we'd have known, we never would have picked you up at the orphanage. Never!
00:52:56Marcus is adopted.
00:52:58Let's go.
00:53:00Well, I'm sorry I wasn't the perfect son!
00:53:09Marcus, he's carried more than I ever realized.
00:53:18Congressman Marcus Flick to deliver inspiring election pep talk in Southern California.
00:53:24Here, for your campaign tomorrow.
00:53:38I already signed it.
00:53:40But the campaign just started and now you want a divorce?
00:53:47I think somebody called me and they told me that if you love someone, you do not trap
00:53:52them in a political marriage.
00:53:54you do not trap them in a political marriage.
00:53:57Ariel, I thought I was protecting you, but I was just helping myself.
00:54:01I was preventing you from what you wanted, because I thought I was going to hurt you.
00:54:07But I was being a hypocrite.
00:54:12And I'm sorry.
00:54:15This, at least one of us gets to be free.
00:54:22But I was being a hypocrite.
00:54:25And I'm sorry.
00:54:28Now, at least one of us gets to be free.
00:54:37I'm sorry.
00:54:55I'm sorry.
00:55:00I'm sorry.
00:55:03I'm sorry.
00:55:11I'm sorry.
00:55:21I'm sorry.
00:55:25I'm sorry.
00:55:29Congressman, do you know what a mistake you've made?
00:55:49Congressman, do you know what a mistake you've made?
00:55:52You know, I don't know what I did tonight, but feel free to punish me.
00:55:55What are you saying? Aren't you afraid of being overheard?
00:55:58Ariel, can I talk dirty to my wife?
00:56:03Stop being slick. I, um, I made you a coat.
00:56:08For the rally tomorrow. Hope you like it.
00:56:11Wait, a trench coat? Isn't that too flashy?
00:56:12No, the suit cliche thing is so over. People crave more personality these days.
00:56:17I'll do whatever you say, ma'am.
00:56:19Okay, well, I will bring you the coat.
00:56:22I'll see you. And, uh, I miss you.
00:56:27Okay, well, that's not that of you.
00:56:30But, fine. I miss you, too.
00:56:34Sir, what package arrived for you?
00:56:41Sir, what package arrived for you?
00:57:04Oh, my God.
00:57:07This is Ariel's coat. Where is she?
00:57:09No word yet. She's not answering calls.
00:57:11Well, you need to check her studio right now, okay?
00:57:14I'm going to come with some...
00:57:15Your supporters are waiting for you.
00:57:17You need to get on stage now.
00:57:18No.
00:57:19They can wait. I'm going to go check on Ariel right now, okay?
00:57:23What are you doing?
00:57:24Look, time is gold.
00:57:26You don't want to let your sponsors down, do you?
00:57:30Tom, you're going to go check on her right now.

01:13:30I want to take a moment to thank my parents and my campaign team
01:13:35and all my friends out there who have carried me through every challenge.
01:13:40But above all, I want to thank my wife, Ariel Rochester,
01:13:48whose strength, courage, and love, I wouldn't be alive without today.
01:13:54This woman is not only my wife, she is the dream that carried me through my childhood,
01:14:02and she is the light that pierces my darkest days.
01:14:06Ariel, I love you. Can you hear that?
01:14:10Yes, I can.
01:14:12That included.
01:14:28Okay.
01:14:29Alright.
01:14:30And.
01:14:31Action.
01:14:33Can you hear it in the quiet night?
01:14:54Can you hear it in the quiet night?
01:15:01Where my heart still beats for you
01:15:08A love unspoken, lost in time
01:15:15Yet every breath still calls you through
01:15:19I reached for you in shadowed hearts
01:15:24And silence filled these aching walls
01:15:28Still, love was screaming in my chest
01:15:36The truth I buried, uncomfort fast
01:15:43Hear my love in the wind, in the rain
01:15:51In the stars that whisper your name
01:15:56Though words were lost, though hearts were blind
01:16:07Love was falling all the time
01:16:11I guess we'll talk to you in the sea
01:16:14Lost in time
01:16:16Held me close, but never stayed
01:16:22A fleeting warmth, a love afraid
01:16:27Yet in your touch, in the stolen sight
01:16:36I felt the words behind your eyes
01:16:42You spoke in silence, I spoke in pain
01:16:46Two hearts adrift, but bound the same
01:16:49Still, love was burning soft and wild
01:16:55A melody that stretched for miles
01:17:02Hear my love in the wind, in the rain
01:17:07In the stars that whisper your name
01:17:10In the stars that whisper your name
01:17:16No words were lost
01:17:20No hearts were blind
01:17:24Love was calling all this time
01:17:28When the night tried to pull us apart
01:17:32When the night tried to pull us apart
01:17:35I heard your soul inside my heart
01:17:38Not in hope, not in fear
01:17:41But in the love that brought us here
01:17:45So hear my love
01:17:48It's yours to keep
01:17:50No more silence, no more sleep
01:17:53Say my name
01:17:55Break the night
01:17:58Break the night
01:18:00Let love be heard
01:18:03Let love burst bright
01:18:08If love was lost in silent cries
01:18:14Tonight
01:18:18You'll hear it in my eyes
01:18:23Don't be afraid
01:18:25Let love be heard
01:18:26You must hear the truth
01:18:27Don't be afraid
01:18:28Don't be afraid
01:18:29Don't be afraid
01:18:30Don't be afraid
