00:00:09Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist?
00:00:19Who do they think are going to be wearing these Haute Couture designer pieces today?
00:00:30Who do they think are going to be wearing these Haute Couture designer pieces today?
00:00:40Mr. Congressman Marcus Vicks
00:00:46So handsome
00:00:51Congressman Marcus is California's youngest and most promising political star
00:00:55OMG, imagine getting some of that money
00:00:58His wife is actually a chester
00:01:03My friend Tommy said he adores his wife so much
00:01:06He never brings her to any public events to protect her from the media
00:01:11Has anyone ever actually seen his wife?
00:01:14No
00:01:36Can you do this for me?
00:01:58Okay
00:02:11I'm married, but I'm just a pawn in his quest for power
00:02:15In his grand narrative, I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star
00:02:20I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star
00:02:30I am nothing but the shadow to his shining star
00:02:45I can hear
00:03:01How can I hear?
00:03:05No security for a politician's wife
00:03:10Feeling you was almost too easy
00:03:13I'm kidnapped?
00:03:14Call your husband
00:03:16Now!
00:03:19That's right, you're deaf
00:03:22I'm sorry now
00:03:25Go on
00:03:33Marcus?
00:03:34Marcus, please pick up the phone
00:03:37Of course
00:03:38You've got rhythm, of course
00:03:39Absolutely
00:03:40Thank you
00:03:50Hello?
00:03:52Hello?
00:03:53I have no idea
00:03:55You're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her
00:04:08Hello?
00:04:09I have your wife
00:04:10And if you don't do exactly what I say...
00:04:13I'm gonna kill her
00:04:15I don't have time for these games
00:04:16Congressman Marcus!
00:04:18I truly cannot believe that you don't care about your wife's life
00:04:22And I'm telling you, I get three or four of these scams a week
00:04:24So why don't you go kick rocks?
00:04:26I'll tell you one more time
00:04:27She's my hostage
00:04:29Well then call me when she's a corpse
00:04:33Woo!
00:04:34That man is fucking cruel, you know that?
00:04:38Heartless politician
00:04:40You know, if he doesn't care about whether or not you die
00:04:43I guess it's my choice
00:04:45And believe me
00:04:47You're beautiful
00:04:49It's a shame you're not going to know what you're going to do
00:04:53Fuck
00:04:54Marcus, you motherfucker!
00:05:09Tom?
00:05:12Tom, I keep getting scam calls to my phone
00:05:14I need you to check out the origin of the number
00:05:16I've already checked this number a hundred times
00:05:18I understand, but we need to make sure that my wife is safe
00:05:21Copy that
00:05:22Also, if you could just let Mr. Versace know I'll be right with him
00:05:41What are you doing?
00:05:50No, alcohol
00:05:55Are you kidding me?
00:05:56Give me that
00:06:04What's with the attitude?
00:06:13Hello?
00:06:14Mr. Klerka, the call had an antispiratory measure and it was too brief to trace
00:06:18They also used a voice changer, so voice analyst is out
00:06:23These people have no idea who they're dealing with
00:06:26They really think that my wife is my weakness
00:06:29Ridiculous
00:06:30Marcus, I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you want me dead
00:06:36Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel
00:06:40And absolutely under no circumstances should she find out
00:06:43Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work
00:06:45Understood?
00:07:00I've rigged this phone against tracking
00:07:02Your husband can't trace it
00:07:05Marcus marrying you three years ago from my sister was the biggest mistake of my life
00:07:10Now that I have my hearing back, I'm gonna make sure everything gets back on track
00:07:24Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding
00:07:26Take the dress off
00:07:28Really?
00:07:29This is what you want, to be the wife of a politician?
00:07:33It's just like the dress, it's not even yours
00:07:35Do I have a choice?
00:07:37Let's get things straight
00:07:38I need to marry Rochester in order to secure my run for the house
00:07:41Your sister runs off, so now you get to be the replacement
00:07:49So, I'm really just a replacement to you
00:08:05Yeah, yeah you are
00:08:11One, I'm technically gonna be married to Claire, so we have to conceal your identity
00:08:17Two, you're not making any public appearances
00:08:19And three, during our marriage, there are no children, whatsoever
00:08:24Okay?
00:08:26Are you listening?
00:08:27Why are you doing this to me?
00:08:32Because people like us are not afforded a choice
00:08:46Claire?
00:08:48Claire, are you okay?
00:08:51Claire?
00:09:09Has Ariel recovered any of her hearing since that sudden deafness at the wedding?
00:09:14It's not so bad being deaf, Mrs. Flick
00:09:16It spares Ariel from hearing anything that might damage Marcus' campaign for governor
00:09:21Exactly
00:09:22And when Marcus becomes governor, we might consider cosmetic surgery for Ariel
00:09:28Make her look more like her sister
00:09:30I'm sure the public will sympathize with Marcus, that he has not abandoned his disabled wife
00:09:36You're so wise, Mr. Flick, that's a brilliant strategy
00:09:40You all seem more concerned about politics than the well-being of my wife
00:09:44You really think it's appropriate gloating over her condition?
00:09:47I was just considering your career
00:09:49While we're on the topic, as long as I'm married to Ariel, we're not gonna be doing any reconstructive surgery to make her look like her sister
00:09:56I'm not going to allow it
00:09:58Why is he defending me now?
00:10:00On that note, we're gonna be taking our leave
00:10:11To be continued
00:10:22Stop!
00:10:27I'm visiting wildfire victims tomorrow, and I need your help picking an outfit
00:10:34Remember, nothing too high profile
00:10:41Oh, my goodness
00:10:47Not that
00:10:52Marcus
00:10:57It's a good thing you couldn't hear what my parents said about you
00:11:01I want to thank you all for making the time to be here today, I think that's a big deal
00:11:09I think it's important to just acknowledge that, in spite of recent events, it's...
00:11:23Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within a month, or your scandal goes public
00:11:30Our state goes through a lot of disasters, mudslides, 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...
00:11:53Excuse me
00:11:58Just one moment
00:12:03Who is this?
00:12:04Divorce your wife, Ariel Rochester, within a month, or your scandal goes public
00:12:09I don't think you've done your homework
00:12:11My wife's name is Claire
00:12:13No, Claire's the older sister
00:12:15She ran away three years ago, you married Ariel to save your political career
00:12:19What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar, and a hypocrite?
00:12:27What would your supporters think if they knew that you're a liar, and a hypocrite?
00:12:31Swapping lives between two sisters
00:12:33That is one of my worst things ever
00:12:37Tell me who the hell this is
00:12:38It doesn't matter who I am
00:12:40Divorce your wife, and...
00:12:41Your secrets disappear with me
00:12:42I mean, after all, she's just a substitute, and you hate her, so it shouldn't really be a problem
00:12:47There's no chance I'm divorcing Ariel
00:12:49There's nothing to think about it
00:12:51I'll give you a month, or...
00:12:53I'll kill her
00:12:59Kill her
00:13:01It must be because Marcus is running for governor, so now he doesn't want to divorce me
00:13:08Now I need a new plan
00:13:17Ah!
00:13:21Mr. Flick, you're about to be on camera, and the press will definitely make a big deal of that moment
00:13:27Tom, I want you to get me the best computer engineers in the world
00:13:30We're gonna nail the bastards threatening Ariel
00:13:33Copy that, sir
00:13:34Also, I need you to make it a top priority that we find a fashion consultant
00:13:39I want some fashion editor
00:13:41I want someone who understands political messaging
00:13:48Hi, Johnny
00:13:59There are some things that can only be appreciated once they're gone, you know?
00:14:03I mean, I've lived the past three years of my life in a silent hell, and now...
00:14:07Life has given me a second chance to hear again
00:14:12This time...
00:14:15I'm gonna live for myself
00:14:18This time...
00:14:21I'm gonna live for myself
00:14:25Johnny, you're my guardian angel, you know that, right?
00:14:29I mean, I know that when mom married into the Rochester family, they wouldn't accept you because of your...
00:14:36Differences, but...
00:14:38I need you to know that I would never give up on you
00:14:41Ever
00:14:44Okay?
00:15:11Doctor Park, is it possible to regain hearing in a case like my wife's?
00:15:15Is it treatable with surgery?
00:15:17Her sudden deafness was triggered by a severe shock
00:15:20We can attempt surgery, but I must be honest, the chances of success are very slim
00:15:27If it works, it would be...
00:15:29It's just something that doesn't happen very often
00:15:32I'm so sorry
00:15:34I know it's not the news you wanted to hear
00:15:36Thank you
00:15:38We're doing everything we can, okay?
00:15:40Okay
00:15:42There we go
00:15:49Learn to please your husband and have a baby, A-S-E-P
00:16:07I, I, I...
00:16:09Tom, the man just sent me a few photos, I need you to trace them.
00:16:38Yes, sir. Keep them on the line for more than five minutes for better tracking.
00:16:54Did you see that?
00:16:55It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:16:58She's cheating on you.
00:17:00My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:17:04It's a central photo of your wife that she sent to someone else.
00:17:07She's cheating on you.
00:17:09My wife wouldn't cheat on me.
00:17:11Why? You don't think she's attractive enough?
00:17:13No, I think she's quite attractive, actually.
00:17:17I just know her.
00:17:19And she wouldn't betray her promises.
00:17:21You know, those photos you sent, the faces are unrecognizable.
00:17:25How are you so confident that they're my wife?
00:17:27Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife so well?
00:17:30Aria has a birthmark on her chest.
00:17:31Surely you're familiar with it.
00:17:33How do you know about the birthmark?
00:17:34Who are you?
00:17:36It doesn't matter who I am.
00:17:37Here are my demands.
00:17:38Divorce your wife or this provocative photo goes public.
00:17:41I'll claim that the perfect congressman...
00:17:43...just can't satisfy his wife.
00:17:45...leaving her to find happiness elsewhere.
00:17:49What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:55What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:58Damn, I hadn't thought of that.
00:18:00I hate her.
00:18:01I can't stand seeing her live such a privileged life.
00:18:04Well, I'm not going to indulge your twisted desires.
00:18:06She's my wife and I'm going to protect her.
00:18:09Don't act like you really love her.
00:18:10You're just worried that a divorce would hurt your political image.
00:18:14You think you know her so well.
00:18:16If you love someone, you don't trap them in a political sham marriage, you hypocrite.
00:18:21Hello?
00:18:23Hello?
00:18:25This man is too complicated to understand.
00:18:28No, sir. We've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software.
00:18:32You know, it's only been traced in a general area.
00:18:35Okay, go ahead.
00:18:36Your phone's location is within a five-mile radius...
00:18:40...which includes your house, sir.
00:18:44She's in danger.
00:19:28You mad at me?
00:19:32There you go.
00:19:33Don't!
00:19:35Okay.
00:19:36I won't touch you.
00:19:58We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image-making and understands how each garment can tell a compelling story.
00:20:21Mom, what are you doing? That's my work.
00:20:24Instead of focusing on this garbage, why don't you learn how to dress nicely so you can catch a good man like your sister did?
00:20:31Mom, clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men. I can't believe you just said that.
00:20:36Ariel, you're going to stop chasing these fanciful dreams.
00:20:40Do you remember where you came from?
00:20:43Without my marriage into the Rochester family, you wouldn't even have the money to attend a private school and focus on this nonsense.
00:20:50If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me.
00:20:54Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband, just like I did.
00:21:15Well, the worst I could say is no.
00:21:24As long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer, I'm ready to work for anyone.
00:21:32I can't let anybody, especially him, find out I can hear again.
00:21:36I have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly.
00:21:39Maybe using text-to-speech is the best.
00:21:54My name is Ariel Anderson. I graduated from the School of Visual Art with a degree in fashion design.
00:21:58I lost my hearing due to an accident three years ago.
00:22:01Unfortunately, a hearing aid won't really help.
00:22:03Therefore, I'd appreciate it if you could use pen and paper for communication.
00:22:06I assure you I can keep up.
00:22:08I'm concerned that her hearing might affect your performance.
00:22:11Recruiting a disabled woman will make our campaign team look more diverse and socially responsible.
00:22:17The board is within better of us.
00:22:18I hear both of your concerns, however.
00:22:20But the reality is we only need a wardrobe consultant that's qualified.
00:22:26The congressman needs to attend an unscheduled event.
00:22:29Please adjust the suit accordingly.
00:22:39...accordingly.
00:22:48...accordingly.
00:22:53Is she modifying it just by eye?
00:23:07Congressman Flick, may I ask you to try it on?
00:23:18...accordingly.
00:23:23Five feet, nine inches tall, 165 pounds, chest 33.6 inches, waist 32.9 inches, hips 35.7 inches.
00:23:31These are the congressman's measurements and I'm confident that they're accurate.
00:23:35That's entirely correct.
00:23:38True.
00:23:39But I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:48I need a wardrobe consultant, not a tailor.
00:23:52Sorry, Congressman, I can't hear.
00:23:58I want you to take a look at these photos. Tell us five things that you see wrong with them.
00:24:12The tie is too flashy, the pants are too short, and overall the photo screams one word.
00:24:16Arrogance.
00:24:18She is incredible.
00:24:23She's the one.
00:24:29Congrats.
00:24:30Welcome.
00:24:40I was supposed to be divorcing him, but now I guess I'm working with him.
00:24:48Hi, um, I'm Daniel Campbell.
00:24:53It's good to meet you.
00:24:55I'm so happy to have you on the team.
00:24:57You're great.
00:24:58Um, would you like to get a coffee?
00:25:02Sure.
00:25:03Yeah?
00:25:04Yeah.
00:25:15Who is that guy?
00:25:17Can we fire that guy?
00:25:18What?
00:25:19No, that's inappropriate. We can't fire people for no good reason.
00:25:22You know, that'll go against our team's reputation.
00:25:24Also, not to mention the upcoming campaign.
00:25:27Well, then keep a close eye on him.
00:25:28Okay.
00:25:29That's not part of my job.
00:25:33So, um, what happened?
00:25:36You're...
00:25:37Sorry.
00:25:42Accident.
00:25:47Oh.
00:25:49Why don't you get, um, cochlear implants?
00:25:52Cochlear implants for your ear?
00:25:54Too...robotic?
00:25:58Interestingly.
00:25:59The...silence.
00:26:03Helps...me work?
00:26:07Cool.
00:26:09Hey.
00:26:16How's your day at work, Campbell?
00:26:17It's my lunch break, Mr. Click.
00:26:19Right.
00:26:21Well, then.
00:26:22I think my new wardrobe consultant needs to check on her duties.
00:26:39Ring.
00:26:47Ring.
00:26:54Didn't you insist that we hide the fact that we're married?
00:26:56So, why would I bother wearing a ring?
00:27:00Someone hitting on you.
00:27:05Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm a human, too.
00:27:08I have a life.
00:27:14Oh, my God.
00:27:15I got you in the photo.
00:27:18Fucking asshole.
00:27:21Ariel, I'm sorry.
00:27:23I'm sorry!
00:27:34Ariel.
00:27:36I'm sorry.
00:27:38No.
00:27:40Ariel.
00:27:48Don't forget.
00:27:49I'm still paying your brother's medical bills.
00:27:57Marcus, I cannot believe you threatened me with my own brother.
00:28:00What happened to you?
00:28:02What happened to us?
00:28:08The more successful he becomes,
00:28:10the more he feels like a stranger.
00:28:13He's nothing like the Marcus I've known since I was 16.
00:28:28Don't worry.
00:28:29Just hold on tight, and I'll always protect you.
00:28:32Marcus?
00:28:34How come you're always free to visit Johnny?
00:28:36Um...
00:28:37Well, your brother's my brother.
00:28:40When I get older, I'm gonna protect you, okay?
00:28:45I promise.
00:29:06Stay.
00:29:11Congressman Flake.
00:29:14Forgive me for asking,
00:29:15but why have I never been introduced to your wife?
00:29:17Your competitors bring their spouses to events like this,
00:29:20and they do quite well for themselves.
00:29:22Right.
00:29:23But I don't consider myself a wife.
00:29:25I'm not a wife.
00:29:26I'm not a wife.
00:29:27I'm not a wife.
00:29:28I'm not a wife.
00:29:29I'm not a wife.
00:29:30I'm not a wife.
00:29:31I'm not a wife.
00:29:32I'm not a wife.
00:29:33I'm not a wife.
00:29:34I'm not a wife.
00:29:36I don't consider my wife to be an accessory.
00:29:38She's her own person.
00:29:40And, uh, that'll make her a chain to me at all times.
00:29:43You are the perfect husband.
00:29:46Pleasure.
00:29:58You again.
00:29:59Don't know how to quit, huh?
00:30:00Have you made up your mind?
00:30:01Are you divorcing your wife or not?
00:30:03Threats, huh?
00:30:04Go ahead.
00:30:06I don't understand.
00:30:07You want her to live a life that she chooses.
00:30:09And then you turn around and you treat her like a crop.
00:30:11You make me sick.
00:30:13How did you hear about this?
00:30:16Are you at the gala?
00:30:17Have you ever asked her what kind of life she would like to live?
00:30:20Have you ever asked her if she loves you?
00:30:22I swear to God, if you do anything to Ariel, I will kill you.
00:30:25I will make you regret it.
00:30:29Ariel!
00:30:33Ariel!
00:30:36Can you hear me?
00:30:38Have you recovered your hearing?
00:30:39Stop!
00:30:40Why didn't you turn around when I just called your name?
00:30:46Have you been on the phone?
00:30:49Oh, my God.
00:30:52Gas leak!
00:30:53Oh, my God!
00:30:55Oh, my God!
00:31:15On the porch, she seemed to be on the phone.
00:31:19Was it her all along?
00:31:21Water.
00:31:25Water.
00:31:36Why?
00:31:51It's not her.
00:31:55What?
00:31:58Explain!
00:32:03Just friends.
00:32:04Friends?
00:32:07I'm going to bed.
00:32:09Ariel.
00:32:13I'm jealous, okay?
00:32:14I'm sorry.
00:32:15I'm jealous.
00:32:16I'm jealous of what you and Daniel have.
00:32:25Ariel.
00:32:52What?
00:32:55Sleep.
00:32:59Yeah, but you're my wife.
00:33:10Sometimes I forget that you can't hear me.
00:33:14It's crazy that we've been married for three years.
00:33:17And I feel like you hate me more and more.
00:33:22You hate me for being in this marriage, but
00:33:25if you're not with me, how can I protect you?
00:33:28I don't want you to be the perfect wife.
00:33:30You don't need to be the perfect daughter-in-law.
00:33:33I just want you to do what you love.
00:33:36I'm the one stuck in this family.
00:33:41And that's enough.
00:33:45Marcus, I can't see you clearly.
00:33:47Sometimes you're cold and cruel, but other times
00:33:51you sound like you love me.
00:33:53Which one is the real you?
00:34:04Sorry I'm late, everybody.
00:34:05Once dinner, I'm going to be ready.
00:34:08Enough with the carbs, Marcus.
00:34:10Your body shape reflects the family you come from.
00:34:13You don't want to end up obese like one of those
00:34:15poor people, do you?
00:34:19Sorry, Mom.
00:34:23I love you.
00:34:39There, you're home.
00:34:41You made PB&J, my favorite.
00:34:47Yeah.
00:34:53I love you.
00:34:54I love you.
00:34:55I love you.
00:34:56I love you.
00:34:57I love you.
00:34:58I love you.
00:34:59I love you.
00:35:00I love you.
00:35:01I love you.
00:35:02I love you.
00:35:03I love you.
00:35:04I love you.
00:35:05I love you.
00:35:06I love you.
00:35:07I love you.
00:35:08I love you.
00:35:09I love you.
00:35:10I love you.
00:35:11I love you.
00:35:12I love you.
00:35:13I love you.
00:35:14I love you.
00:35:15I love you.
00:35:16I love you.
00:35:17I love you.
00:35:18I love you.
00:35:19I love you.
00:35:20I love you.
00:35:21I love you.
00:35:23I love you.
00:35:24I love you.
00:35:25I love you.
00:35:43Help with clothes?
00:35:46Thanks.
00:35:52I really got to keep a close eye on her, make sure she stays close to me.
00:36:01Sure enough I'm never just your wife, I'm a pawn.
00:36:12So we're gonna have to make sure that everything is going to stick together, oh here we are.
00:36:17Hi everybody, my name is Congressman Marcus Flick, and this is my team, okay?
00:36:22We came a long way to hear your thoughts, please guys, get them out there.
00:36:25I'm curious what you plan to do about this drought we've been struggling with these last
00:36:3018 months.
00:36:32That's a great question, off the noggin, I think it's important to point out that all
00:36:37of your needs have been finding their way to Sacramento, but they have also been falling
00:36:42onto deaf ears.
00:36:43Marcus is so handsome, isn't he?
00:36:44He's the pride of California.
00:36:45He's the most stylish, well-dressed politician in the state, hands down, and such a perfect
00:36:46husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her.
00:36:47Perfect husband?
00:36:48These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick.
00:36:49What'd you say?
00:36:50Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:36:51Do you want to check on the horses?
00:36:52Yeah, I'd love to.
00:36:53Yeah, I'd love to.
00:36:54Yeah, I'd love to.
00:36:55Yeah, I'd love to.

00:37:18Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:19Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:20Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:21Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:22Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:23Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:24Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:25Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:26Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:27Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:28Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:29Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:30Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:31Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:32Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:33Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:34Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:35Yeah, I'd love to.

00:37:41Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:42Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:43Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:44Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:45Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:46Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:47Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:48Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:49Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:50Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:51Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:52Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:53Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:54Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:55Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:56Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:57Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:58Yeah, I'd love to.
00:37:59Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:00Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:01Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:02Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:03Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:04Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:05Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:06Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:07Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:08Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:09Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:10Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:11Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:12Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:13Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:14Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:15Yeah, I'd love to.
00:38:17But everyone is praising his kindness and sincerity.
00:38:20No one is even noticing everything.
00:38:22The governor's campaign is coming up.
00:38:25We need to be careful.
00:38:33Simone, I thought I told you to handle your daughter.
00:38:42Congressman, we're moving on to the next activity.
00:38:45Okay, I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:38:48Now just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:38:51Okay.
00:38:59He is a control freak.
00:39:09So I understand the likelihood of you guys actually being able to read this is pretty low.
00:39:15Trust me.
00:39:17Marcus!
00:39:33Are you all right?
00:39:35Yeah, I'm all right.
00:39:37Are you hurt?
00:39:38I'm fine.
00:39:45Ariel, can you hear me?
00:39:49No, I can't hear you.
00:39:52Ariel, if you can hear me, why are you answering my questions?
00:39:56I don't understand.
00:39:59Ariel, tell me the truth.
00:40:03Can you hear me?
00:40:10Why did you lie to me?
00:40:14Why did you lie to me?
00:40:24Let go of me!
00:40:26How long have you had your hearing back and when did you get your hearing back?
00:40:29Ariel, why did you lie to me?
00:40:35The day you wanted me dead.
00:40:38What are you talking about?
00:40:39The day my hearing came back was the day you wanted me dead.
00:40:41When did I want you dead?
00:40:43God, you really don't remember.
00:40:44The day I got kidnapped.
00:40:46The first thing I heard when I got my hearing back was you saying,
00:40:50call me back when she's a corpse.
00:40:54Oh my God.
00:40:56The phone call.
00:40:58It wasn't just a spam call.
00:41:02Why didn't you tell me that you were kidnapped?
00:41:04Why didn't you tell me that you were in danger?
00:41:06Have you always been like this?
00:41:07Blaming everybody but yourself?
00:41:10Did you even care that I was in danger?
00:41:12Do you even see me as your wife?
00:41:14Because every day that I spend with you, I am trapped in a life that I did not choose.
00:41:19How was I supposed to know that the way I'm treating you is causing you so much pain?
00:41:22Please just let me go.
00:41:25I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:28Let me go.
00:41:30I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:33Remember?
00:41:34You really think that of me?
00:41:35Because I wasn't blind or heartless before, Marcus.
00:41:38I could still feel things, I just couldn't hear.
00:41:43Ariel.
00:41:46Ariel, please.
00:41:47Don't.
00:41:49Don't touch me.
00:41:52Ariel.
00:42:05So, she can actually hear now.
00:42:08Well, this is getting interesting.
00:42:39Hello, Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:52I've heard you can hear again.
00:42:54Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:42:57Mrs. Rochester.
00:42:59I've heard you can hear again.
00:43:00Shouldn't you be thanking me?
00:43:02What the hell do you want?
00:43:03I thought you'd want to hear someone's voice.
00:43:06Come on, sweetie.
00:43:07Say hello to your dear brother.
00:43:09Johnny?
00:43:10No, please don't hurt him.
00:43:13I can't guarantee that.
00:43:15It depends on my mood.
00:43:17I'll give you anything you want, just don't hurt him.
00:43:20What a deep love.
00:43:22That's touching, but you ruined my plan last time, remember?
00:43:26I swear to God, if you touch a hair on his head, I will make you pay.
00:43:30Oh, I'm not going to kill him.
00:43:32But as a punishment for your escape, I'm going to leave him in the mountains.
00:43:37I hope he's lucky enough to survive.
00:43:45Adrian, Amanda, the reality is we only have about eight weeks left of this campaign.
00:43:50So, I need to lock in.
00:43:52My goal is to get ahold of Sacramento, L.A., San Diego, all the official sprints.
00:43:59Johnny, Johnny, it's going to be okay.
00:44:01I know, I'm here, it's okay, it's me.
00:44:03It's Ariel, I'm here.
00:44:04It's okay, it's okay.
00:44:05I'm here.
00:44:07I'm here.
00:44:08It's going to be okay.
00:44:10It's okay.
00:44:12Congressman Flick, we found a woman in the unconscious male.
00:44:15Congressman Marcus?
00:44:17Marcus?
00:44:18Marcus, it's Johnny, there's something wrong and I don't know what to do.
00:44:21I got you, okay?
00:44:22Don't panic.
00:44:23I'm going to take care of him.
00:44:24We need to get him to the hospital immediately.
00:44:26We're going to take a helicopter.
00:44:32Listen to me, okay?
00:44:34He's going to go to the hospital.
00:44:35We're going to take care of him immediately.
00:44:37But you, you're hurt too.
00:44:38You need treatment.
00:44:41Congressman Flick, can I ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:46She's my...
00:44:49She's my wife.
00:44:52Can I ask your relationship with this lady and the victim?
00:44:56She's my...
00:44:57She's...
00:45:02She's my wife.
00:45:05And the victim's my brother.
00:45:07This is your wife?
00:45:09Yes.
00:45:10And we need to get her to the hospital immediately.
00:45:12She's in shock.
00:45:14We'll talk about this later.
00:45:15Come on.
00:45:31Doctor.
00:45:33How's my brother?
00:45:34The patient's stable.
00:45:35He's just a little shaken up, but he'll be fine.
00:45:37He just needs rest.
00:45:39We appreciate your care.
00:45:41Thank you, Doctor.
00:45:42Mr. Congressman Flick.
00:45:44It's an honor to serve you.
00:45:45We'll give him our best everything.
00:45:47Don't worry.
00:45:48We'll take good care of your family.
00:45:55Marcus, I don't know how...
00:45:56You ruined everything again!
00:46:00You ruined everything again!
00:46:02Your son's in a coma, and your daughter's injured, and you're just going to come over here and start pointing fingers in a hospital?
00:46:07Marcus, it's all over in the news.
00:46:09Ariel went and rescued Johnny today.
00:46:11If people find out she's in a relationship with you, it could ruin your chances of being governor.
00:46:16That's not the point.
00:46:17Okay?
00:46:18Family...
00:46:19Family comes first.
00:46:20Don't misunderstand me.
00:46:21I care for Johnny.
00:46:22But he's out of danger now, and it's just a matter of time before he recovers.
00:46:26But you...
00:46:28You're in the middle of an election.
00:46:30One mistake can cost us everything.
00:46:32You care about election results.
00:46:33I think you only care about your own profits, don't you?
00:46:37I'm telling you right now, you're going to treat my wife with respect...
00:46:40...or you're going to have to leave.
00:46:42Now leave.
00:46:49Don't take it personally.
00:46:50How could I not?
00:46:51She's done this my whole life, regardless of if I could hear her or not.
00:46:55That's the family I grew up with.
00:46:58Listen to me.
00:46:59You, me, Johnny...
00:47:04We're each other's family.
00:47:10We're each other's family.
00:47:36Yes?
00:47:37You know, this is the first phone call we've had since you...
00:47:39Since you lost your hearing three years ago?
00:47:42Yeah.
00:47:43First call.
00:47:45Yeah.
00:47:47Wait.
00:47:48Is this the first...
00:47:50Could you call in another line?
00:47:51No.
00:47:52No, that's not what I meant.
00:47:54How did you know Johnny was in danger today?
00:47:57Well, I asked the caretakers to inform me if anything ever happened to him.
00:48:01Oh.
00:48:02Why?
00:48:03Why would you do that?
00:48:05Because I promised you, Ariel.
00:48:07I promised that I was going to protect Johnny.
00:48:10I guess I...
00:48:11I don't know what to say.
00:48:12I mean, thank you.
00:48:14Johnny, I was just...
00:48:15I was so scared.
00:48:16I can't imagine what I'd do if anything happened to him.
00:48:20He's my only family left.
00:48:23Open the door.
00:48:28Open the door.
00:48:38Hey.
00:48:51Wait, wait.
00:48:55You know, I would have gone crazy if anything happened to you today.
00:49:01Marcus.
00:49:03For everything.
00:49:05Come to the office tomorrow?
00:49:07I got something to share with you.
00:49:14Hi.
00:49:17I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:19Why?
00:49:23I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore.
00:49:25Why?
00:49:26Because I've been pushing you too much.
00:49:28And you need to follow your dreams.
00:49:34Here.
00:49:35What's this?
00:49:36This is the key to a design studio in downtown.
00:49:41I raised three million in capital just for you.
00:49:43It's all yours.
00:49:45Are you serious?
00:49:46I'm not joking.
00:49:47And I need you to promise me something, okay?
00:49:50Please do not tell your mom or anybody that you can hear now.
00:49:54It's probably best if they're not judging us.
00:49:58Okay.
00:50:00I have something for you too.
00:50:05What is this?
00:50:07For the past three years, I have been documenting some of your looks.
00:50:11It's just some ideas, designs, and things.
00:50:17It's perfect.
00:50:21Come here.
00:50:32Come in.
00:50:35Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:41Come in.
00:50:45Congressman, Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you.
00:50:47Okay, go ahead.
00:50:55Well, your governor's campaign has hit a critical phase.
00:51:00But your support is slipping.
00:51:02And meanwhile, Stephen Hopkins, his approval ratings are climbing.
00:51:08I have it under control.
00:51:10Under control?
00:51:11I don't see any progress in that.
00:51:14You are too distracted.
00:51:16Father, I'll handle my campaign.
00:51:18Ariel is not the problem.
00:51:20Hopkins' wife is actively involved in women's foundations and charity events, boosting his appeal.
00:51:27If you want to gain ground, Marcus, you need to present the image of a flawless family.
00:51:42Dress like Claire and join Marcus at campaign events?
00:51:50You won't do it?
00:51:58No.
00:52:05Father Ariel, she is herself.
00:52:07She's not going to be your sister.
00:52:09She's not going to pretend to be anyone else in order to win political votes.
00:52:12You ungrateful son of a bitch!
00:52:16We gave you everything!
00:52:18Resources, training, this position!
00:52:22And this?
00:52:23This is how you're going to disobey us?
00:52:25This is my wife!
00:52:26Okay?
00:52:27Insulting her is disrespecting me!
00:52:29Respect?
00:52:31You.
00:52:32You are nothing without the flick name.
00:52:35Nothing!
00:52:37If you want to gain ground, Marcus, you need to present the image of a flawless family.
00:52:43Flawless family.
00:52:54Dress like Claire and join Marcus at campaign events?
00:53:02You won't do it?
00:53:14No.
00:53:17Father Ariel, she is herself.
00:53:19She's not going to be your sister.
00:53:21She's not going to pretend to be anyone else in order to win political votes.
00:53:24You ungrateful son of a bitch!
00:53:28We gave you everything!
00:53:30Resources, training, this position!
00:53:34And this?
00:53:35This is how you're going to disobey us?
00:53:37This is my wife!
00:53:38Okay?
00:53:39Insulting her is disrespecting me!
00:53:41Respect?
00:53:44You.
00:53:45You are nothing without the flick name.
00:53:48Nothing!
00:53:50You.
00:53:51You are nothing!
00:53:55Everything that you have here is us!
00:53:58None of your merit!
00:53:59And I am thankful for what you did for me, but I'm not going to use the people I love
00:54:03to win political games!
00:54:05That is my boundary.
00:54:06A true politician has no soft spots, Marcus.
00:54:10Well, if being a successful politician means using the people I love, then I'll give it all up.
00:54:16How can you say that, Marcus?
00:54:18This is ridiculous!
00:54:21If we'd have known, we never would have picked you up at the orphanage.
00:54:26Ever!
00:54:27Marcus is adopted.
00:54:31Let's go.
00:54:34Well, I'm sorry I wasn't the perfect son!
00:54:41Marcus, he's carried more than I ever realized.
00:54:47Congressman Marcus Flick, to deliver inspiring election pep talk in Southern California.
00:55:04Here, for your campaign tomorrow.
00:55:07I already signed it.
00:55:11But the campaign just started, and now you want a divorce?
00:55:15You see, somebody called me, and they told me that if you love someone, you do not trap
00:55:21them in a political marriage.
00:55:25Ariel, I thought I was protecting you.
00:55:28But I was just helping myself.
00:55:31I was preventing you from what you wanted, because I thought it was going to hurt you.
00:55:36But I was being a hypocrite.
00:55:41And I'm sorry.
00:55:44This?
00:55:46At least one of us gets to be free.
00:55:49But I was being a hypocrite.
00:55:52And I'm sorry.
00:55:54Now, at least one of us gets to be free.
00:56:10I love you.
00:56:40I love you.
00:57:10Congressman, do you know what a mistake you've made?
00:57:14Congressman, do you know what a mistake you've made?
00:57:17You know, I don't know what I did tonight, but feel free to punish me.
00:57:21What are you saying?
00:57:22Aren't you afraid of being overheard?
00:57:24Ariel, can I talk dirty to my wife?
00:57:28Stop being slick.
00:57:29I, um, I made you a coat for the rally tomorrow.
00:57:34Hope you like it.
00:57:36Wait, a trench coat?
00:57:37Isn't that too flashy?
00:57:38No, the suit cliché thing is so over.
00:57:40People crave more personality these days.
00:57:42I'll do whatever you say, ma'am.
00:57:44Okay.
00:57:45Well, I will bring you the coat.
00:57:47I'll see you.
00:57:49And, uh, I miss you.
00:57:53Okay.
00:57:54Well, that's enough out of you.
00:57:55Bye.
00:57:58Fine.
00:57:59I miss you too.
00:58:08Bye.
00:58:23Sir, my package arrived for you.
00:58:29Oh, my God.
00:58:32This is Ariel's coat.
00:58:33Where is she?
00:58:34No word yet.
00:58:35She's not answering calls.
00:58:36Check her studio right now, okay?
00:58:38I'm on a congressman.
00:58:40Your supporters are waiting for you.
00:58:41You need to get on stage now.
00:58:43No, they can wait.
00:58:44I'm going to go check on Ariel right now, okay?
00:58:47What are you doing?
00:58:48Look, time is gold.
00:58:50You don't want to let your sponsors down, do you?
00:58:55Tom, you're going to go check on her right now.
00:58:57Tell me if anything changes.
00:59:01Thanks for having me, everybody.
00:59:02Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:59:04I think, as dark as it is, we're going to have a great night, everybody.
00:59:12Oh, my God.
00:59:14There's water everywhere.
00:59:15There's water everywhere.
00:59:16Oh, my God.
00:59:17Help!
00:59:19Help!
00:59:20Somebody help me!
00:59:22Help, please!
00:59:27Johnny?
00:59:29I don't...
00:59:32Johnny?
00:59:34Johnny, wake up.
00:59:35It's not funny.
00:59:36Johnny, wake up.
00:59:37Oh, my God.
00:59:38Johnny, look at you.
00:59:39It's all your fault.
00:59:40What did you do to Johnny?
00:59:41You're nothing but a curse.
00:59:43Oh, my God.
00:59:44Is he breathing?
00:59:45Johnny?
00:59:46Johnny?
00:59:47Can you hear me?
00:59:48It's all your fault.
00:59:49Oh, my God.
00:59:50It's my fault.
00:59:51Oh, my God.
00:59:52Johnny?
00:59:53Johnny?
00:59:54I need you.
00:59:55Help!
00:59:56Help!
01:00:00Oh, God.
01:00:05I can't...
01:00:06I can't turn it on.
01:00:13What do you want with me?
01:00:20You'll find out soon enough.
01:00:22Thanks for having me, everybody.
01:00:23Thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:00:28Oh, that's sweet.
01:00:31Do you think the congressman knows
01:00:33his life is just a breath away from death?
01:00:37Want to get him a charger?
01:00:40Call him.
01:00:41No.
01:00:45Oh, you want me to do it?
01:00:47Fine.
01:00:50Do it.
01:00:51No, Marcus, don't answer.
01:00:55My goal is to increase economic growth by 20%,
01:00:58all while tackling homelessness and reducing crime.
01:01:12Marcus, I'm so sorry.
01:01:13I love you.
01:01:14I lied to you.
01:01:15No, Ariel.
01:01:16Ariel, where are you?
01:01:17I lied to you about the phone calls.
01:01:19I thought I could protect you.
01:01:21And now I think that maybe if I'd just been honest with you all along,
01:01:24none of this would have ever happened.
01:01:26Ariel, please stay on the phone, okay?
01:01:28Just tell me where you are.
01:01:29Come alone.
01:01:30No cops.
01:01:31Or she dies.
01:01:37I gotta go.
01:01:38Congressman, this is just like Mr. Biden.
01:01:40You can't just leave now.
01:01:51Oh, that's so sweet.
01:01:52He's absolutely abandoning this campaign.
01:01:55This campaign to save you.
01:01:57No, you can have all my money.
01:01:59Just don't make Marcus come here.
01:02:00Shut up.
01:02:04This isn't about money.
01:02:06This is about me and Marcus.
01:02:08You're just the paper.
01:02:10Wait a minute.
01:02:11Your voice.
01:02:14I know your voice.
01:02:15You haven't figured it out by now?
01:02:18It doesn't matter.
01:02:20You'll be dead soon anyway.
01:02:26That.
01:02:28Ariel!
01:02:40Ariel!
01:02:45Ariel!
01:02:49Ariel, I'm coming!
01:02:52Please.
01:02:55Ariel!
01:03:02Please pick up.
01:03:03Please pick up.
01:03:04Please pick up.
01:03:15Ariel!
01:03:21Ariel!
01:03:31Ariel!
01:03:32Ariel!
01:03:36Ariel!
01:03:37Ariel!
01:03:38Ariel!
01:03:39It's okay.
01:03:40It's okay.
01:03:41Ariel, I'm gonna get you home.
01:03:42Let's go.
01:03:48Marcus, behind you!
01:03:52Ow!
01:03:59It's you?
01:04:02It's you?
01:04:11It's you?
01:04:14It's you?
01:04:19But we were friends.
01:04:21You approached me!
01:04:24After years of digging and searching,
01:04:26I uncovered the real secrets about your perfect marriage.
01:04:30Yeah, I kidnapped you once you got away.
01:04:33You stole my phone too, so I had to get closer.
01:04:36I joined your campaign team.
01:04:38Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't track the threatening calls you were getting?
01:04:43That's because your culprit was right there on your IT team.
01:04:47How blind can you be?
01:04:49This is all because you're trying to sabotage my campaign?
01:04:52It's not even worth it!
01:04:54Look at my face!
01:04:55Do you even recognize me?
01:04:57Do you know who I am?
01:05:00Of course you don't.
01:05:02Let me remind you.
01:05:04Fifteen years ago,
01:05:06the orphanage,
01:05:07the orphanage,
01:05:08the orphanage,
01:05:09the orphanage,
01:05:10the orphanage,
01:05:11the orphanage,
01:05:12the orphanage,
01:05:13the orphanage,
01:05:14the orphanage,
01:05:15the orphanage,
01:05:16the orphanage,
01:05:17the orphanage,
01:05:18the orphanage,
01:05:19your best...
01:05:21friend.
01:05:27No.
01:05:31No, it can't be.
01:05:32Yeah.
01:05:34Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:05:39Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:05:41Hey, where's my money, huh?
01:05:43I don't have it.
01:05:44Where could it be?
01:05:45I don't have anything.
01:05:46Hey, leave him alone!
01:05:47Leave him alone!
01:05:49Leave him alone!
01:05:52You okay?
01:05:53What happened?
01:05:55After digging and searching,
01:05:56I uncovered the real secrets
01:05:58about your perfect marriage.
01:06:00Yeah, I kidnapped you once you got away.
01:06:03You stole my phone too,
01:06:04so I had to get closer.
01:06:06I joined your campaign team.
01:06:08Marcus, do you ever wonder
01:06:09why you couldn't...
01:06:12What happened to you?
01:06:13You've changed.
01:06:14You recognize me now?
01:06:17Noble congressman,
01:06:18or should I say you're an orphan
01:06:19nobody wanted?
01:06:21You keep that a secret
01:06:22from your voters too?
01:06:23John, why do you hate me?
01:06:24We were friends.
01:06:25Why do you hate me?
01:06:26Why are you targeting Ariel?
01:06:27Friends?
01:06:28You stole everything from me, Marcus.
01:06:31That stage you parade around on.
01:06:34This life of power and respect
01:06:37belonged to me, not to you.
01:06:40And at first, I'd let it go.
01:06:42I wanted to let it go.
01:06:43But every time I turned on the TV,
01:06:45I saw you parading around
01:06:47this perfect life,
01:06:48and it wasn't fair.
01:06:49The Flicks chose Marcus.
01:06:51Shut up!
01:06:52The Flicks chose me.
01:06:54But on adoption day,
01:06:55yeah, you remember,
01:06:56I got sick from the cake you gave me.
01:06:59I was at the hospital
01:07:00with food poisoning,
01:07:01so they took you instead.
01:07:03Sean, I went back to the orphanage.
01:07:05I spoke to the dean,
01:07:06and he said that you were adopted
01:07:07by a loving family,
01:07:08that you were happy.
01:07:09Happy?
01:07:12I was adopted into a nightmare.
01:07:15A couple that divorced
01:07:16and left me out to rot.
01:07:18What about that is happy?
01:07:22Sean, I'm sorry for what you went through,
01:07:24but revenge is not the way.
01:07:26We gotta figure this out together.
01:07:27Figure it out?
01:07:28What are we gonna figure out, Marcus?
01:07:30I spent years suffering,
01:07:32watching you live my life.
01:07:34We are never figuring it out.
01:07:41Hold on!
01:07:42Sean, I'm not gonna let you fall any further.
01:07:46Come on.
01:07:49Sean.
01:07:51Sean, we don't have to hate each other.
01:07:54Okay, just let it go.
01:07:55I will go to the police.
01:07:56I will explain everything.
01:07:57You don't have to worry about it.
01:07:58Just please...
01:08:01Please don't let the hatred consume you.
01:08:07You were always a saint, Marcus.
01:08:08Marcus, look out!
01:08:13Oh, my God!
01:08:14Oh, my God!
01:08:15Are you okay?
01:08:16Perfect.
01:08:18You get to die
01:08:20in front of the one you love the most.
01:08:23My revenge is complete.
01:08:26Daniel, no, you don't need to...
01:08:33It's okay.
01:08:34You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:08:35Don't cry.
01:08:36It's gonna be okay. I'm fine.
01:08:37Don't cry.
01:08:38I'm fine.
01:08:40Daniel, you don't need to...
01:08:45It's okay.
01:08:46You're okay. Just apply pressure.
01:08:47Don't cry.
01:08:48It's gonna be okay. I'm fine.
01:08:49Okay?
01:08:50I need you to apply pressure.
01:08:51I need you to stay with me.
01:08:52Okay?
01:08:55I love you, and I need you to hate me later, okay?
01:08:57I love you.
01:08:58Don't say that right now.
01:08:59Please, just hold that for later.
01:09:01We're gonna say that later.
01:09:02Okay? We're gonna get out of here.
01:09:03Do you trust me?
01:09:04I trust you.
01:09:08Then what?
01:09:09Come to the lake.
01:09:10Now. Marcus, look, I'm dying.
01:09:11No.
01:09:15No.
01:09:20Ariel?
01:09:23Claire?
01:09:26Why are you here?
01:09:29I've been looking abroad.
01:09:30Marcus and I have been talking, keeping in touch over the last couple years,
01:09:35and his assistant told me that he was hospitalized.
01:09:37I'm so sorry.
01:09:39I didn't realize you and Marcus still talked.
01:09:41I thought, um...
01:09:44You don't know that...
01:09:46Why he married you instead of me?
01:09:55Claire.
01:09:56If you're trying to convince me to stay, don't bother.
01:09:59Claire, I admire your courage to lead the life you want.
01:10:02I don't want to be a pawn for the family's games anymore.
01:10:06I want to be free.
01:10:08I know.
01:10:09I'm not gonna hold you back anymore.
01:10:12But you gotta do one thing for me.
01:10:14Can you please tell your parents?
01:10:16Can you please tell them to let Ariel marry me?
01:10:20Marcus chose me?
01:10:22Marcus chose me?
01:10:24He knew that Simone would marry you off for money if he couldn't.
01:10:28He married you to protect you.
01:10:30And if he acted indifferent, it's only because he didn't want you to get too attached.
01:10:35Well, I didn't need to say that.
01:10:37You know Marcus...
01:10:40He can't admit his feelings very easily.
01:10:42But his love, it's...
01:10:45It's deeper than anyone's.
01:10:49So...
01:10:52He doesn't know that I've been in love with him since we were children?
01:10:55It's always been you, Ariel.
01:10:59Ever since we were children, it's only ever been you.
01:11:03He's always loved you.
01:11:12Marcus, you really are the dumbest asshole in the world.
01:11:16You know that, right?
01:11:18Why didn't you tell me you married me to protect me?
01:11:21Why were you so cold?
01:11:23Why did you...
01:11:27Why did you pretend you hated me?
01:11:30Because none of it worked.
01:11:33I still love you.
01:11:37Of course I still love you.
01:11:39I need you.
01:11:41You can't leave me, okay?
01:11:48Take this ring.
01:11:51Take it.
01:11:54And put it on my finger again. I just...
01:11:59I need to hear you say that you love me.
01:12:04Please, Marcus.
01:12:11Marcus.
01:12:17Marcus.
01:12:20You're awake.
01:12:30This...
01:12:32This ring wasn't left behind by your sister.
01:12:36It was made custom for you.
01:12:39It's unique, just like you.
01:12:42It just wasn't the right time to give it to you before.
01:12:45Because you were mad and...
01:12:47And I'm sorry.
01:12:50Marcus, are you always this overdramatic?
01:12:54Yes.
01:12:56And it's because I think you're the only one who can handle me.
01:12:58Marcus.
01:13:09This area of Rochester...
01:13:14Will you still...
01:13:18Will you still marry me?
01:13:21Yes.
01:13:23I will.
01:13:28Will you?
01:13:36Come here.
01:13:48Stop it! Stop! I'm not kidding!
01:13:52Don't be so naughty, Governor.
01:13:55I won't be naughty.
01:13:58I won't be naughty.
01:14:11I want to take a moment to thank my parents...
01:14:14And my campaign team...
01:14:16And all my friends out there...
01:14:18Who've carried me through every challenge.
01:14:21But above all...
01:14:23I want to thank my wife.
01:14:24Ariel Rochester.
01:14:26With strength, courage and love...
01:14:30I wouldn't be alive without her today.

01:14:40And she's the light that pierces my darkest days.
01:14:43Ariel...
01:14:45I love you.
01:14:47Can you hear that?
