00:00:00Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist?
00:00:08Who do they think are going to be wearing these haute couture designer pieces today?
00:00:18And he's Mr. Congressman Marcus Flakes, he's so handsome.
00:00:40Congressman Marcus is California's youngest and most promising political star.
00:00:44OMG, imagine dating someone that hot.
00:00:48His wife is a religious star.
00:00:52My friend Tommy said he adores his wife so much, he never brings her to any public events to protect her from the media.
00:01:00Has anyone ever actually seen his wife?
00:01:17I'm just saying, I don't know.
00:01:41Okay.
00:01:48Go home.
00:01:51We're married, but I'm just a pawn in his quest for power.
00:01:59In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:06I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star.
00:02:36I can hear.
00:02:50How can I, how can I hear?
00:02:54No security for a politician's wife.
00:02:59Feeling you was almost too easy.
00:03:02I'm kidnapped?
00:03:03Call your husband.
00:03:05Now!
00:03:08That's right.
00:03:09You're deaf.
00:03:11Don't laugh.
00:03:14Go home.
00:03:22Marcus?
00:03:23Marcus, please pick up the phone.
00:03:26Of course.
00:03:27Of course.
00:03:28Absolutely.
00:03:39Hello?
00:03:42Hello?
00:03:43I have your wife.
00:03:44You're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her.
00:03:57Hello?
00:03:58I have your wife.
00:03:59And if you don't do exactly what I say...
00:04:02I'm gonna kill her.
00:04:04I don't have time for these games.
00:04:05Congressman Marcus!
00:04:07I truly cannot believe that you don't care about your wife's life.
00:04:11And I'm telling you, I get three or four of these scams a week, so why don't you go kick rocks?
00:04:15I'll tell you one more time.
00:04:16She's my hostage.
00:04:18Well, then call me when she's a corpse.
00:04:22Woo!
00:04:23That man is fucking cruel, you know that?
00:04:27Heartless politician.
00:04:29You know, if he doesn't care about whether or not you die, I guess it's my choice.
00:04:35And believe me, you're beautiful.
00:04:38It's a shame you're not going to know what you're dying for.
00:04:42Fuck!
00:04:43Marcus, you motherfucker!
00:04:58Tom?
00:05:01Tom, I keep getting scam calls to my phone.
00:05:03I need you to check out the origin of the number.
00:05:05I've already checked this number a hundred times.
00:05:07I understand, but we need to make sure that my wife is safe.
00:05:10Copy that.
00:05:11Also, if you could just let Mr. Versace know I'll be right with him.
00:05:30What are you doing?
00:05:39No.
00:05:40Alcohol.
00:05:44Are you kidding me?
00:05:45Give me that.
00:05:53What is with the attitude?
00:06:02Hello?
00:06:03Mr. Flick, the call had an antispirosis measure and it was too brief to trace.
00:06:07They also used a voice changer, so voice analyst is out.
00:06:12These people have no idea who they're dealing with.
00:06:15They really think that my wife is my weakness.
00:06:18Ridiculous.
00:06:20Marcus, I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you wanted me dead.
00:06:26Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel.
00:06:30And absolutely under no circumstances should she find out.
00:06:33Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work.
00:06:35Understood.
00:06:50I've rigged this phone against tracking.
00:06:52Your husband can't trace it.
00:06:55Marcus marrying you three years ago from my sister was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:07:00Now that I have my hearing back,
00:07:03it's back on track.
00:07:13Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding.
00:07:15Take the dress off.
00:07:17Really?
00:07:19This is what you want, to be the wife of a politician?
00:07:22It's just like the dress, it's not even yours.
00:07:25Do I have a choice?
00:07:26Let's get things straight.
00:07:27I need to marry Rochester in order to secure my run for the house.
00:07:31Your sister runs off, so now you get to be the replacement.
00:07:38So, I'm really just a replacement to you?
00:07:54Yeah.
00:07:56Yeah, you are.
00:08:00Okay, let's establish a couple ground rules.
00:08:03One, I'm technically going to be married to Claire, so we have to conceal your identity.
00:08:08Two, you're not making any public appearances.
00:08:11And three, during our marriage, there are no children whatsoever.
00:08:16Okay?
00:08:18Are you listening?
00:08:19Why are you doing this to me?
00:08:24Because people like us are not afforded the choice.
00:08:37Ariel.
00:08:39Ariel, are you okay?
00:08:42Ariel?
00:08:54Ariel?
00:09:01Has Ariel recovered any of her hearing since that sudden deafness at the wedding?
00:09:06It's not so bad being deaf, Mrs. Flick.
00:09:08It spares Ariel from hearing anything that might damage Marcus' campaign for governor.
00:09:13Exactly.
00:09:14And when Marcus becomes governor, we might consider cosmetic surgery for Ariel.
00:09:20Make her look more like her sister.
00:09:22The public will sympathize with Marcus that he has not abandoned his disabled wife.
00:09:27You're so wise, Mr. Flick.
00:09:29That's a brilliant strategy.
00:09:32You all seem more concerned about politics than the well-being of my wife.
00:09:36You really think it's appropriate gloating over her condition?
00:09:39I was just considering your career.
00:09:41While we're on the topic, as long as I'm married to Ariel,
00:09:43we're not going to be doing any reconstructive surgery to make her look like her sister.
00:09:48I'm not going to allow it.
00:09:50Is he defending me now?
00:09:52On that note, we're going to be taking our leave.
00:10:14Stop!
00:10:19I'm visiting wildfire victims tomorrow, and I need your help picking an outfit.
00:10:26Remember, nothing too high profile.
00:10:39Not bad.
00:10:44Marcus.
00:10:49Good thing you couldn't hear what my parents said about you.
00:10:56I want to thank you all for making the time to be here today.
00:10:58I think that's a big deal.
00:11:03I think it's important to just acknowledge that, in spite of recent events, it's...
00:11:10Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month, or your scandal goes public.
00:11:34Our state goes public.
00:11:37Our state goes through a lot of disasters.
00:11:39Mudslides, we deal with droughts, we deal with wildfires.
00:11:43In my understanding, over the last 40 years, a lot of things have built up to this moment.
00:11:49A lot of things that are perceived to bring us to...
00:11:57Just one moment, guys.
00:12:02Who is this?
00:12:03Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within the month,
00:12:05or your scandal goes public.
00:12:08I don't think you've done your homework.
00:12:10My wife's name is Claire.
00:12:12No, Claire's the older sister.
00:12:14When she ran away three years ago, you married Ariel to save your political career.
00:12:18What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:12:23What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:12:32What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar and a hypocrite?
00:12:36Swapping wives between two sisters?
00:12:38I didn't want my wife's name to be Ariel.
00:12:42Tell me who the hell this is.
00:12:43It doesn't matter who I am.
00:12:44Divorce your wife, and...
00:12:46Your secrets disappear with me.
00:12:47I mean, after all, she's just a substitute, and you hate her.
00:12:50So, it shouldn't really be a problem.
00:12:52There's no chance I'm divorcing Ariel.
00:12:54There's nothing to think about it.
00:12:57I'll give you a month, or...
00:12:58I'll kill her.
00:13:04Kill her.
00:13:07It must be because Marcus is running for governor, so now he doesn't want to divorce me.
00:13:13Now I need a new plan.
00:13:23I'm sorry.
00:13:34Mr. Flick, you're about to be on camera, and the press will definitely make a big deal of that wound.
00:13:40Tom, I want you to get me the best computer engineers in the world.
00:13:43We're going to nail the bastards threatening Ariel.
00:13:46Copy that, sir.
00:13:47Ariel, I need you to make it a top priority that we find a fashion consultant.
00:13:52I want some fashion editor.
00:13:53I want someone who understands political messaging.
00:14:00Hi, Johnny.
00:14:11There are some things that can only be appreciated once they're gone, you know?
00:14:15I mean, I've lived the past three years of my life in a silent hell, and now...
00:14:20Life has given me a second chance to hear again.
00:14:24This time...
00:14:27I'm going to live for myself.
00:14:38This time...
00:14:40I'm going to live for myself.
00:14:43Johnny, you're my guardian angel, you know that, right?
00:14:47I mean, I know that when Mom married into the Rochester family, they wouldn't accept you because of your...
00:14:54Differences, but...
00:14:56I need you to know that I would never give up on you.
00:15:00Ever.
00:15:03Okay?
00:15:12Okay.
00:15:42Dr. Park, is it possible to regain hearing in a case like my wife's?
00:15:46Is it treatable with surgery?
00:15:48Her sudden deafness was triggered by a severe shock.
00:15:51We can attempt surgery, but I must be honest, the chances of success are very slim.
00:15:58If it works, it would be absolutely close to a miracle.
00:16:02It's just something that doesn't happen very often.
00:16:05I'm so sorry.
00:16:07I know it's not the news you wanted to hear.
00:16:12We're doing everything we can, okay?
00:16:14Okay.
00:16:16There we go.
00:16:23Learn to please your husband and have a baby ASAP.
00:16:42Okay.
00:17:09Tom.
00:17:10The manager sent me a few photos.
00:17:12I need you to trace them.
00:17:13Yes, sir.
00:17:14Keep them on the line for more than five minutes for better tracking.
00:17:29Did you see that?
00:17:30It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:17:33She's cheating on you.
00:17:35My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:17:40Why, you don't think she's attractive enough?
00:17:42No, I think she's quite attractive, actually.
00:17:45I just know her.
00:17:47And she wouldn't betray her promises.
00:17:49You know, those photos you sent, the faces are unrecognizable.
00:17:53How are you so confident that they're my wife?
00:17:55Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife?
00:17:57I don't know her.
00:17:59I don't know her.
00:18:01I don't know her.
00:18:03I don't know her.
00:18:05I don't know her.
00:18:07I don't know her.
00:18:09Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife?
00:18:10She has a birthmark on her chest.
00:18:12Surely you're familiar with it.
00:18:14How do you know about the birthmark?
00:18:16Who are you?
00:18:17It doesn't matter who I am.
00:18:18Hear my demands.
00:18:19Divorce your wife or this provocative photo goes public.
00:18:23I'll claim that the perfect Congressman
00:18:24cannot satisfy his wife.
00:18:26leaving her to find happiness elsewhere.
00:18:29What will you gain if I do this?
00:18:38You
00:18:44What do you gain if I divorce my wife
00:18:47Damn, I hadn't thought of that. I hate her. I can't stand seeing her live such a privileged life
00:18:53Well, I'm not gonna indulge your twisted desires. She's my wife and I'm gonna protect her
00:18:57Don't act like you really love her. You're just worried that a divorce would hurt your political image
00:19:03You think you know so well if you love someone you don't trap them in a political sham marriage you hypocrite
00:19:10Hello hello, this man is too complicated to understand
00:19:22No, sir, we've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software, you know, it's only been traced in a general area
00:19:29Okay, go ahead your phone's location isn't within a five-mile radius which includes your house sir
00:19:48Ariel she's in danger
00:19:58I
00:20:28Don't
00:20:37Mad at me
00:20:42Ariel don't okay won't touch you
00:20:58You
00:21:11We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image-making and
00:21:17Understands how each garment can tell a compelling story
00:21:29Mom
00:21:31That's my work
00:21:32Instead of focusing on this garbage
00:21:34Why don't you learn how to dress nicely so you can catch a good man like your sister did mom?
00:21:40Clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men. I can't believe you just said that
00:21:44Ariel you're going to stop chasing these fanciful dreams. Do you remember where you came from?
00:21:50Without my marriage into the Rochester family. You wouldn't even have the money to attend a private school and focus on this nonsense
00:21:58If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me
00:22:02Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband
00:22:05Just like I did
00:22:22Well, the worst I could say is now
00:22:27As
00:22:32Long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer. I'm ready to work for anyone. I
00:22:39Can't let anybody especially him find out I can hear again. I have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly
00:22:47Maybe using text-to-speech is the best
00:22:57You
00:23:08My name is Ariel Anderson, I graduated from school of visual art with a degree in fashion design
00:23:13I lost my hearing to an accident three years ago
00:23:16Unfortunately, a hearing aid won't really help
00:23:18Therefore, I'd appreciate if you could use pen and paper for communication. I assure you I can keep up
00:23:23I'm concerned that our hearing might affect your performance
00:23:26Recruiting a disabled woman will make our campaign team look more diverse and socially responsible
00:23:32The board is within better of us. I hear both of your concerns. However, but the reality is we only need a wardrobe consultant. That's
00:23:39qualifying
00:23:41The congressman needs to attend an unscheduled event, please adjust the suit accordingly
00:23:52You
00:24:01Please adjust the suit accordingly
00:24:17Is she modifying it just by eye?
00:24:22I
00:24:31Congressman flake may ask you to try on
00:24:33I
00:24:47Feet 9 inches tall 165 pounds chest 33.6 inches waist 32.9 inches hips
00:24:5435.7 inches. These are the congressman's measurements and I'm confident that they're accurate. That's entirely correct
00:25:01True but I need a wardrobe consultant not a tailor
00:25:18But I need a wardrobe consultant not a tailor, sorry congressman I can't hear
00:25:25I
00:25:28Want you to take a look at these photos tell us five things that you see wrong with them
00:25:49She's incredible
00:25:51I
00:26:11Was supposed to be divorcing him but now I guess I'm working with them
00:26:15I
00:26:21I'm Daniel Campbell
00:26:24It's good to meet you. I'm so happy to have you on the team
00:26:28You're great
00:26:30Would you like to get a coffee?
00:26:33Sure. Yeah
00:26:43You
00:26:46I
00:26:51Who is that guy can we fire that guy
00:26:54That's inappropriate. We can't fire people for no good reason
00:26:57You know that'll go against our team's reputation also not to mention the upcoming campaign. Well, then keep a close eye on it
00:27:03Okay, it's not part of my job
00:27:08So what happened here
00:27:15Mm-hmm accident
00:27:24Why don't you get on cochlear implants cochlear implants for your ear to
00:27:32Robotic interesting the silence
00:27:38Helps
00:27:40You need work
00:27:42cool
00:27:46I
00:27:50Did work Campbell, it's my lunch break. Mr. Flick, right?
00:27:55Well, then I think my new wardrobe consultant needs to check on her duties
00:28:16You
00:28:28Ring
00:28:35Didn't you insist that we hide the fact that we're married so why would I bother wearing a ring?
00:28:42Someone hitting on you
00:28:46Maybe you haven't noticed but I'm a human too. I have a life
00:28:55Oh my god, I got you in the photo
00:29:00Fucking asshole Ariel, I'm sorry. I'm sorry
00:29:16You
00:29:29Don't forget I'm still paying your brother's medical bills
00:29:32You
00:29:44Marcus I cannot believe you'd threaten me with my own brother. What happened to you? What happened to us?
00:29:57The more successful he becomes the more he feels like a stranger
00:30:02He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16
00:30:17Don't worry just hold on tight and I'll always protect you Marcus. How come you're always free to visit Johnny
00:30:26You
00:30:28Well, your brother's my brother when I get older I'm gonna protect you, okay
00:30:36Problems
00:30:38You
00:31:09Stay
00:31:15Congressman flake
00:31:18Forgive me for asking but why have I never been introduced to your wife your competitors bring their spouses to events like this and they
00:31:25Do quite well for themselves, right?
00:31:27But I don't consider my wife to be an accessory. She's her own person and
00:31:32It'll need her chain to me at all times
00:31:34You are the perfect husband
00:31:38Pleasure
00:31:50You again, I don't know how to quit huh, have you made up your mind are you divorcing your wife or not threats?
00:31:56Huh? Go ahead. You're just gonna want to regret this. I don't understand you
00:32:00You say you love your wife and you want her to live a life that she chooses and then you turn around you treat her
00:32:05Like a prop you make me sick
00:32:07How did you hear about this
00:32:10Are you at the gala have you ever asked her what kind of way she would like to live
00:32:14Have you ever asked her if she loves you? I swear to God if you do anything Ariel, I will kill you

00:35:28It's crazy that we've been married for three years and I feel like you hate me more and more
00:35:36You hate me for being in this marriage, but
00:35:39If you're not with me, how can I protect you? I don't want you to be the perfect wife. You don't need to be the perfect daughter
00:35:47I just want you to do what you love

00:35:55And that's enough

00:38:58Hi everybody, my name is congressman Marcus Flick and this is my team, okay
00:39:03We came a long way to hear your thoughts, please guys get them out there
00:39:06I'm curious what you plan to do about this drought. We've been struggling these last 18 months
00:39:13That's a great question
00:39:15Off the noggin. I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been finding their way to Sacramento
00:39:22But they haven't also been falling onto deaf ears
00:39:27Pride of California the most stylish well-dressed politician
00:39:33And such a perfect husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her perfect husband
00:39:39These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick. What'd you say?
00:39:52Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you
00:39:58Do you want to check on the horses
00:40:03Um, they're right over there
00:40:12Come on sweetie. Yeah. Let me share
00:40:23Looks like it's your turn
00:40:27Having fun. Yeah, we are
00:40:30If you want to pet a horse, I have one over here. You can check out. This one's fine
00:40:40Perfect congressman, can I get a shot of you two being the horse? Yeah, if you could feed the horse with her, please
00:40:47This is great perfect. Yes. Yes
00:40:58You what is Marcus thinking bringing her there
00:41:13What is Marcus thinking bringing her there that's insane, but everyone is praising his kindness and sincerity
00:41:20No one is even noticing Ariel. The governor's campaign is coming up
00:41:24We need to be careful
00:41:28I
00:41:34Thought I told you to handle your daughter. Thank you
00:41:41Congressman we're moving on to the next activity
00:41:44Okay, I'm gonna want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times. You know, just uh, just in case she needs to help me on the spot
00:41:50Okay
00:41:58He is a control freak
00:42:17So the likelihood of you guys actually being able to read this is pretty low
00:42:22More or less trust me
00:42:26Marcus
00:42:39You
00:42:51Are you are you all right? Yeah, I'm all right. Are you hurt?
00:43:03Ariel Ariel, can you hear me?
00:43:07No, I can't hear you Ariel if you can hear me why are you answering my questions I don't understand
00:43:15Ariel
00:43:19Tell me the truth. Can you hear me?
00:43:28Why did you lie to me
00:43:30You
00:43:42Let go of me how long have you had your hearing back and when did you get your hearing back Ariel? Why did you lie to me?
00:43:53The day you wanted me dead

00:44:10God, you really don't remember the day. I got kidnapped
00:44:13The first thing I heard when I got my hearing back was you saying
00:44:17Call me back when she's a corpse
00:44:23The phone call it wasn't just a spam call
00:44:27Why didn't you tell me that you were kidnapped, why didn't you tell me that you were in danger have you always been like this blaming everybody but yourself
00:44:37Did you even care that I was in danger
00:44:39Do you even see me as your wife?
00:44:41Because every day that I spend with you I am trapped in a life that I did not choose
00:44:46How was I supposed to know that the way I'm treating you is causing you so much pain. Please just let me go
00:44:52I'm just a replacement for my sister

01:15:54Marcus and I have been talking keeping in touch over the last couple years and his assistant told me that he was hospitalized
01:16:00I'm so sorry. I
01:16:03Didn't realize you and Marcus still talked. I thought um
01:16:07You don't know that
01:16:09Why he married you instead of me
01:16:18Claire if you're trying to convince me to stay don't bother
01:16:22Claire I admire your courage to live the life you want. I
01:16:25Don't want to be a pawn for the family's games anymore. I
01:16:30Want to be free. I know I'm not gonna hold you back anymore
01:16:35But you got to do one thing for me. Can you please tell your parents?
01:16:39Can you please tell them to let Ariel marry me?
01:16:43Marcus chose me
01:16:54Marcus chose me
01:16:56He knew that Simone would marry you off for money if he couldn't
01:17:00He married you to protect you and if he acted indifferent, it's only because he didn't want you to get too attached
01:17:07Well, I didn't need to say that
01:17:09You know Marcus
01:17:12They can't admit his feelings very easily but his love it's
01:17:18Steeper than anyone's
01:17:22So
01:17:24He doesn't know that I've been in love with him since we were children it's always been you Ariel
01:17:31Ever since we were children, it's only ever been you
01:17:35He's always loved you
01:17:40You
01:17:53Marcus you really are the dumbest asshole in the world. You know that right?
01:17:59Why didn't you tell me you married me to protect me why were you so cold wait, why did you
01:18:05Why did you pretend you hated me because none of it worked I
01:18:12Still love you
01:18:15Of course I still love you I need you you can't leave me, okay
