00:00:00Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist?
00:00:16Can you believe they sent a deaf stylist?
00:00:19Who do they think are going to be wearing these haute couture designer pieces today?
00:00:30There is Mr. Congressman Marcos Flakes.
00:00:46So handsome.
00:00:50Congressman Marcos is California's most promising political star.
00:00:54OMG, imagine getting something out of my heart.
00:00:58Jamal.
00:00:59His wife, Dr. Rochester.
00:01:01Rochester.
00:01:03I've told him he's saying 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?
00:01:27What a beautiful story.
00:01:28I'd love her.
00:01:29I'd love her.
00:01:30Goodbye.
00:01:31So beautiful.
00:01:35I'd love you too.
00:01:50This one, look.
00:01:51We're 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.
00:02:21I remember that it was not a turn, but I won't be off.
00:02:51I can hear.
00:03:00How can I...
00:03:02How can I hear?
00:03:05No security for a politician's wife.
00:03:10Dealing you was almost too easy.
00:03:13I'm kidnapped?
00:03:14Call your husband.
00:03:16Now!
00:03:18That's right.
00:03:20Hey, you're deaf.
00:03:21I'm fine now.
00:03:25Go home.
00:03:33Marcus?
00:03:34Marcus, please be...
00:03:35Please be careful of the phone.
00:03:37Of course.
00:03:38You've got everything, of course.
00:03:39Absolutely.
00:03:50Hello?
00:03:52Hello?
00:03:53I have your wife.
00:03:55You're going to do exactly as I say, or I'm going to kill her.
00:04:07Hello?
00:04:08I have your wife.
00:04:10And if you don't do exactly what I say...
00:04:13I'm going to kill her.
00:04:14I don't have time for these games.
00:04:16Tell your husband Marcus.
00:04:17I truly cannot believe that you don't care about your wife's life.
00:04:21And I'm telling you, I get three or four of these scams a week, so why don't you go kick rocks?
00:04:25I'll tell you one more time.
00:04:27She's my hostage.
00:04:28Well, then call me when she's a corpse.
00:04:32That man is fucking cruel.
00:04:35You know that?
00:04:37Heartless politician.
00:04:39You know, if he doesn't care about whether or not you die, I guess it's my choice.
00:04:45And believe me, you're beautiful.
00:04:48It's a shame you're not going to know what you're done with.
00:04:53Fuck!
00:04:53Marcus, 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.
00:05:15I've already checked this number a hundred times.
00:05:17I understand, but we need to make sure that my wife is safe.
00:05:20Copy that.
00:05:21Also, if you could just let Mr. Versace and I'll be right with him.
00:05:40What are you doing?
00:05:45No, alcohol.
00:05:54Are you kidding me?
00:05:55Give me that.
00:06:03What is with the attitude?
00:06:04Hello?
00:06:13Mr. Klerka, the call had an anti-spinence measure and it was too brief to trace.
00:06:18They also used a voice changer, so voice analyst is out.
00:06:21These people have no idea who they're dealing with.
00:06:25They really think that my wife is a weakness.
00:06:29Ridiculous.
00:06:30Marcus, I cannot believe that the first thing I hear in three years is that you want to be dead.
00:06:36Tom, I need you to set up a security detail for Ariel.
00:06:39Absolutely under no circumstance does she find out.
00:06:43Just make sure it doesn't interfere with her life or work.
00:06:45Understood?
00:06:45I've rigged this phone against tracking.
00:07:02Your husband can't trace it.
00:07:04Marcus marrying you three years ago for my sister was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:07:08Now that I have my hearing back, I'm going to make sure everything gets back on track.
00:07:23Marcus, you're not supposed to see me before the wedding.
00:07:25Take 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.
00:07:34It's not even yours.
00:07:35Do I have a choice?
00:07:37Let's get things straight.
00:07:37I need to marry Rochester in order to secure my run for the house.
00:07:41Your sister runs off.
00:07:43So now, you get to be the replacement.
00:07:49So, I'm really just a replacement to you?
00:08:04Yeah.
00:08:06Yeah, you are.
00:08:07One, I'm technically going to be married to Claire, so we have to conceal your identity.
00:08:16Two, 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.
00:08:35Errol.
00:08:35Errol.
00:08:36Errol, are you okay?
00:08:48Errol.
00:08:48Errol, are you okay?
00:08:51Errol.
00:08:51has ariel recovered any of her hearings since that sudden deafness at the wedding it's not so
00:09:14bad being deaf mrs flick it spares ariel from hearing anything that might damage marcus's
00:09:19campaign for governor exactly and when marcus becomes governor we might consider cosmetic
00:09:26surgery for ariel make her look more like her sister i'm sure the public will sympathize with
00:09:32marcus that he has not abandoned his disabled wife you're so wise mr flick that's a brilliant
00:09:37strategy you all seem more concerned about politics than the well-being of my wife you really think
00:09:44it's appropriate gloating over her condition i i was just considering your career while we're on
00:09:49the topic as long as i'm married to ariel we're not going to be doing any reconstructive surgery to
00:09:54make her look like her sister i'm not going to allow it why is he defending me now on that note
00:10:01we're going to be taking our leave

00:10:59i want to thank you all for making the time to be here today i think that's i think that's a big
00:11:09deal

00:11:28our 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 a lot of
00:11:49things that are perceived to bring us to
00:11:53just one moment
00:11:58who's this
00:12:03divorce your wife ariel rochester within a month or your scandal goes public
00:12:07i don't think you've done your homework

00:16:21Tom, the man just sent me a few photos.
00:16:37I need you to trace them.
00:16:38Yes, sir.
00:16:39Keep them on the line for more than five minutes for better tracking.
00:16:51Did you see that?
00:16:55It'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.
00:17:23The faces are unrecognizable.
00:17:25How are you so confident?
00:17:26That they're my wife.
00:17:27Didn't you just boast about knowing your wife so well?
00:17:30Ariel 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 I'm ready to mail.
00:17:38Divorce your wife or this provocative photo goes public.
00:17:41I'll claim that the perfect congressman can't satisfy his wife.
00:17:45Leaving her to find happiness elsewhere.
00:17:48What do you gain if I divorce my wife?
00:17:51What 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.
00:18:13You think you've known me 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?
00:18:24This man is too complicated to understand.
00:18:33Now, sir, we've hit a snag with the anti-surveillance software.
00:18:37You know, it's only been traced in the general area.
00:18:40Okay, go ahead.
00:18:41Your phone's location is within a five-mile radius, which includes your house, sir.
00:18:47She's in danger.
00:18:50She's in danger.
00:18:50She's in danger.
00:19:20You're mad at me?
00:19:41Don't.
00:19:43Okay.
00:19:45I won't touch you.
00:19:50We require a candidate who grasps the significant impact of clothing on political image-making
00:20:08and understands how each grammat can tell a compelling story.
00:20:11Mom, what are you doing?
00:20:23That's my work.
00:20:24Instead of focusing on this garbage, why don't you learn how to dress nicely so you can catch
00:20:29a good man like your sister did?
00:20:31Mom, clothing isn't just a tool for attracting men.
00:20:35I can't believe you just said that.
00:20:36Ariel, you're going to stop chasing these fanciful dreams.
00:20:40Do you remember where you came from?
00:20:42Without my marriage into the Rochester family, you wouldn't even have the money to attend a
00:20:47private school and focus on this nonsense.
00:20:50If you don't want to end up poor again, listen to me.
00:20:54Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband.
00:20:56Focus your efforts on finding a wealthy husband.
00:21:14The worst they could say is now.
00:21:16as long as this brings me closer to my dream of being a designer
00:21:28i'm ready to work for anyone
00:21:30i can't let anybody especially him find out i can hear again
00:21:34i have to stay silent in public and avoid reacting too quickly

00:21:58design i lost my hearing due to an accident three years ago unfortunately a hearing aid
00:22:02won't really help therefore i'd appreciate if you could use pen and paper for communication

00:22:10recruiting a disabled woman will make our campaign team look more diverse and socially
00:22:16responsible the board is within better of us i hear both of your concerns however

00:32:29What?
00:32:54Sleep.
00:32:55Yeah, but you're my wife.
00:33:09Sometimes I forget that you can't hear me.
00:33:13It's crazy that we've been married for three years.
00:33:16And I feel like you hate me more and more.
00:33:18You hate me for being in this marriage, but if you're not with me, how can I protect you?
00:33:27I don't want you to be the perfect wife.
00:33:29You don't mean to be the perfect daughter-in-law.
00:33:32I just want you to do what you love.
00:33:36I'm the one stuck in this family.
00:33:40And that's enough.
00:33:41Marcus, I can't see you clearly.
00:33:47Sometimes you're cold and cruel, but other times you sound like you love me.
00:33:53Which one is the real you?
00:34:04Sorry, I'm late, everybody.
00:34:06Once dinner, I'm going to be ready.
00:34:07Enough with the carbs, Marcus.
00:34:11Your body shape reflects the family you come from.
00:34:14You don't want to end up obese like one of those poor people, do you?
00:34:20Sorry, Mom.
00:34:20Aaron, you're home.
00:34:42You mean PB&J, my favorite.
00:34:48Yeah.
00:34:48Yeah.
00:34:50Okay.
00:35:00Yeah.
00:35:03Okay.
00:35:05Okay.
00:35:07Okay.
00:35:13Okay.
00:35:18Okay.
00:35:19Okay.
00:35:20Help with clothes.
00:35:50I really got to keep a close eye on her.
00:35:58Make sure she stays close to me.
00:36:01Sure enough, I'm never just your wife.
00:36:03I'm a pawn.
00:36:12So, we're going to have to make sure that everything is going to stick together.
00:36:15Oh, here we are.
00:36:17Hi, everybody.
00:36:19My name is Congressman Marcus Flick, and this is my team, okay?
00:36:22We came a long way to hear your thoughts.
00:36:24Please, guys, get them out there.
00:36:25I'm curious.
00:36:26What do you plan to do about this drought we've been struggling these last 18 months?
00:36:32That's a great question.
00:36:34Off the noggin, I think it's important to point out that all of your needs have been finding their way to Sacramento,
00:36:40but they have also been falling onto deaf ears.
00:36:43Marcus is so handsome, isn't he?
00:36:46He's the pride of California.
00:36:48The more stylish, well-dressed politician in the state, hands down.
00:36:52And such a perfect husband keeps his wife out of the spotlight to protect her.
00:36:56Perfect husband?
00:36:58These people do not know the first thing about Marcus Flick.
00:37:00What'd you say?
00:37:01Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
00:37:11Do you want to check on the horses?
00:37:16Awesome.
00:37:17Um, they're right over there.
00:37:18Okay.
00:37:18Okay.
00:37:18Come on, sweetie.
00:37:27Here.
00:37:28Let me see.
00:37:36Looks like you two are having fun.
00:37:37Yeah, we are.
00:37:40If you want to pet a horse, I have one over here you can check out.
00:37:44This one's fine.
00:37:49Perfect.
00:37:50Congressman, can I get a shot of you two feeding the horse?
00:37:53Yeah, if you could feed the horse with her, please.
00:37:55This is great.
00:37:58Perfect.
00:38:00Yes.
00:38:01Yes.
00:38:03So perfect.
00:38:04What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:38:14What is Marcus thinking bringing her there?
00:38:16That's insane.
00:38:17But everyone is praising his kindness and sincerity.
00:38:21No one is even noticing everyone.
00:38:23The governor's campaign is coming up.
00:38:25We need to be careful.
00:38:33Simone?
00:38:34I thought I told you to handle your daughter.
00:38:42Congressman, we're moving on to the next activity.
00:38:45Okay.
00:38:46I'm going to want my wardrobe stylist with me at all times.
00:38:49Now just, uh, just in case she needs to help me on the spot.
00:38:51Okay.
00:38:59He is a control freak.
00:39:01So I understand the likelihood of you guys actually being able to read this is pretty low.
00:39:13Um, all of us, just trust me.
00:39:16It's the best, it's the best.
00:39:18Marcus!
00:39:18Marcus!
00:39:18Are you, are you all right?
00:39:36Yeah, I'm all right.
00:39:37Are you hurt?
00:39:38I'm fine, I...
00:39:39I'm fine, I...
00:39:44Ariel.
00:39:46Ariel, can you hear me?
00:39:49No, I...
00:39:51I can't hear you.
00:39:53Ariel, if you can hear me, why are you answering my questions?
00:39:56I don't understand.
00:40:00Ariel, tell me the truth.
00:40:03Can you hear me?
00:40:06Why 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?
00:40:31The day you wanted me dead.
00:40:38What are you talking about?
00:40:39The day my hearing came back was the day you wanted me dead.
00:40:42When did I want you dead?
00:40:44God, you really don't remember.
00:40:45The day I got kidnapped?
00:40:47The first thing I heard when I got my hearing back was you saying,
00:40:51Call me back when she's a corpse.
00:40:55Oh my God.
00:40:57The phone call.
00:40:58It wasn't...
00:41:00It wasn't just a spam call.
00:41:03Well, why didn't you tell me that you were kidnapped?
00:41:05Why didn't you tell me that you were in danger?
00:41:07Have you always been like this?
00:41:08Blaming everybody but yourself?
00:41:11Did you even care that I was in danger?
00:41:13Do you even see me as your wife?
00:41:15Because every day that I spend with you,
00:41:17I 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?
00:41:23Please just let me go.
00:41:24Well, I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:28Let me go.
00:41:31I'm just a replacement for my sister.
00:41:33Remember?
00:41:34You really think that of me?
00:41:36Because I wasn't blind or heartless before, Marcus.
00:41:39I could still feel things I just couldn't hear.
00:41:47Ariel, please.
00:41:47Don't.
00:41:49Don't touch me.
00:41:50Ariel.
00:42:05So, she can actually hear her now.
00:42:10This is getting interesting.
00:42:12Good, yeah.
00:42:29Mm-hmm.

00:49:23I don't want you being my wardrobe consultant anymore
00:49:26Why?
00:49:27Because I've been pushing you too much and you need to follow your dreams
00:49:30Here
00:49:36What's this?
00:49:37This is the key
00:49:39To a design studio in downtown
00:49:42I raised three million in capital just for you
00:49:44It's all yours
00:49:46Are you serious?
00:49:47I'm not joking
00:49:48I'm not joking
00:49:48And
00:49:49I need you to promise me something, okay?
00:49:51Please don't tell your mom or anybody that you can hear now
00:49:55It's probably best so they're not judging us
00:49:56Okay
00:49:59Um
00:50:01There's something for you too
00:50:05What is this?
00:50:06Um

00:50:45Congressman Mr. and Mrs. Flick are here to see you
00:50:48Okay, go ahead
00:50:56Well
00:50:58Your governor's campaign has hit a critical phase
00:51:01But your support is slipping
00:51:03And meanwhile, Stephen Hopkins, his approval ratings are climbing
00:51:08I have it under control
00:51:10Under control?
00:51:12I don't see any progress in that
00:51:15You are too distracted
00:51:17Father, I'll handle my campaign
00:51:19Ariel is not the problem
00:51:21Hopkins' wife is actively involved in women's foundations and charity events
00:51:26boosting his appeal
00:51:27If you want to gain ground, Marcus, you need to present the image of a flawless family
00:51:38Dress like Claire and join Marcus at campaign events
00:51:51You won't do it
00:51:52Father, Ariel
00:52:06She is herself
00:52:08She's not imitating your sister
00:52:10She's not gonna pretend to be anyone else in order to win political votes
00:52:13You ungrateful son of a bitch
00:52:15You ungrateful son of a bitch
00:52:16We gave you everything
00:52:18Resources
00:52:19Training
00:52:21This position
00:52:22And this
00:52:23This is how you're gonna disobey us
00:52:26This is my wife
00:52:27Okay
00:52:27Insulting her is disrespecting me
00:52:30Respect
00:52:32You
00:52:33You are nothing without the flick name
00:52:36Nothing
00:52:37I
00:52:39If you want to gain ground, Marcus
00:52:41You need to present the image of a flawless family
00:52:54Dress like Claire and join Marcus at campaign events
00:53:02You won't do it
00:53:07Father, Ariel
00:53:18She is herself
00:53:19She's not imitating your sister
00:53:21She's not gonna pretend to be anyone else in order to win political votes
00:53:24You
00:53:25Ungrateful son of a bitch
00:53:28We gave you everything
00:53:30Resources
00:53:31Training
00:53:32This position
00:53:33And this
00:53:35This is how you're gonna disobey us
00:53:37This is my wife
00:53:39Okay
00:53:39Insulting her is disrespecting me
00:53:42Respect
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
00:54:01But I am not gonna use the people I love to win political gains
00:54:05That is my boundary
00:54:06A true politician has no soft spots, Marcus
00:54:10Well, if being a successful politician means using the people I love
00:54:15Then I'll give it all up
00:54:17How can you say that, Marcus?
00:54:19This is ridiculous
00:54:22If we'd have known, we never would have picked you up at the orphanage
00:54:26Never
00:54:27Marcus is adopted
00:54:31Let's go
00:54:34Well, I'm sorry I wasn't the perfect son
00:54:44Marcus
00:54:46He's carried more than I ever realized
00:54:48Congressman Marcus Flick to deliver inspiring election pep talk in Southern California
00:54:56Here for your campaign tomorrow
00:55:08I already signed it
00:55:12But the campaign just started and now you you want a divorce
00:55:16You see somebody called me and they told me
00:55:20That if you love someone you do not trap them in political marriage
00:55:26Ariel I thought I was protecting you
00:55:29But I was just helping myself
00:55:32I was preventing you from what you wanted
00:55:34Because I thought I was gonna hurt you
00:55:37But 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
00:55:53Now
00:55:57At least one of us gets to be free
00:55:58Arquant
00:56:02Let's say
00:56:05Hey man
00:56:22Have you ever seen you?
00:56:24It didn't happen to me
00:56:24Honey dude, we protagonists

00:56:27Love you
00:57:29Stop being slick.
00:57:30I, um, I made you a coat for the rally tomorrow.
00:57:35Hope you like it.
00:57:37Wait, a trench coat? Isn't that too flashy?
00:57:38No, the suit cliche thing is so over.
00:57:41People crave more personality these days.
00:57:43I'll do whatever you're saying, ma'am.
00:57:45Okay, well, I will bring you the coat.
00:57:48I see you.
00:57:50And, uh, I miss you.
00:57:54Okay, well, that's enough out of you.
00:57:56Bye.

00:58:14Sir, what package arrived for you?
00:58:29Oh, my God.
00:58:32This is Ariel's coat. Where is she?
00:58:34No word yet. She's not answering calls.
00:58:36Well, you need to check the studio right now, okay?
00:58:39I'm on a congressman.
00:58:40Your supporters are waiting for you.
00:58:41You need to get on stage now.
00:58:43No. It can wait. I'm going to go check on Ariel right now, okay?
00:58:48What are you doing? Look, time is gold.
00:58:51You 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.
00:59:03Thank you, thank you, thank you.
00:59:04I think as dark as it is, we're going to have a great night, everybody.
00:59:13Oh, my God.
00:59:14There's water everywhere.
00:59:16There's water everywhere.
00:59:17Oh, my God.
00:59:17Help!
00:59:20Help!
00:59:21Somebody help me!
00:59:23Help, please!
00:59:28Johnny?
00:59:32Johnny?
00:59:34Johnny, wake up.
00:59:35That's not funny.
00:59:36Johnny, wake up.
00:59:37Oh, my God.
00:59:38Johnny, you have nothing but a curse.
00:59:44Oh, my God.
00:59:45Is he breathing?
00:59:45Johnny?
00:59:46Johnny, it's my fault.
00:59:47Can you hear me?
00:59:48Oh, my God.
00:59:48It's my fault.
00:59:50Oh, my God.
00:59:51Johnny?
00:59:51Johnny?
00:59:52I know.
00:59:53It's you.
00:59:54Help!
00:59:55Help!
00:59:55Help!
00:59:55What do you want with me?
01:00:20You'll find out soon enough.
01:00:22Thanks for having me, everybody.
01:00:24Thank you, thank you, thank you.
01:00:25No, Marcus, don't answer.
01:00:53My goal is to increase economic growth by 20%,
01:00:59all while tackling homelessness and reducing crime.
01:01:14Marcus, I'm so sorry.
01:01:15I love you, I lied to you.
01:01:17Now, Ariel, Ariel, where are you?
01:01:18I lied to you about the phone calls.
01:01:20I thought I could protect you.
01:01:23And now I think that maybe if I'd just been honest with you all along,
01:01:26none of this would have ever happened.
01:01:27Ariel, please stay on the phone, okay?
01:01:29Just tell me where you...
01:01:29Come alone, no cops, or she dies.
01:01:37I gotta go.
01:01:39You can't just leave now.
01:01:42Well, that's so sweet.
01:01:53He's actually abandoning this campaign to save you.
01:01:58No, you can have all my money.
01:02:00Just don't make Marcus come here.
01:02:01Shut up!
01:02:05This isn't about money.
01:02:06This is about me and Marcus.
01:02:09You're just the people.
01:02:11Wait a minute.
01:02:12Your voice.
01:02:13I know your voice.
01:02:16You haven't figured it out by now.
01:02:18It doesn't matter.
01:02:20You'll be dead soon in the way.
01:02:29Ariel!
01:02:29Ariel!
01:02:41Ariel!
01:02:43Ariel, I'm coming!
01:02:55Please.
01:02:57Ariel!
01:03:04Please pick up, please pick up, please pick up, please pick up, please.
01:03:08Oh, yeah.
01:03:13Ariel!
01:03:17Ariel!
01:03:29Ariel!
01:03:31Ariel!
01:03:33Ariel!
01:03:34Oh, my God.
01:03:36Ariel!
01:03:37Ariel!
01:03:38Ariel!
01:03:38It's okay.
01:03:40It's okay.
01:03:40Ariel, I'm gonna get you home.
01:03:42Let's go.
01:03:48Marcus, behind you!
01:04:00It's you?
01:04:02It's you?
01:04:03It's you?
01:04:14It's you?
01:04:19Well, we were friends.
01:04:22You approached me.
01:04:23After years of digging and searching, I uncovered the real secrets about your perfect marriage.
01:04:31Yeah, 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.
01:04:39Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't track the threatening calls you were getting?
01:04:44That's because your culprit was right there on your IT team.
01:04:48How blind can you be?
01:04:50Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't track the threatening calls you were getting?
01:04:56That's because your culprit was right there on your IT team.
01:05:00How blind can you be?
01:05:02This is all because you're trying to sabotage my campaign?
01:05:05It's not even worth it!
01:05:06Look at my face!
01:05:08Do you even recognize me?
01:05:10Do you know who I am?
01:05:13Of course you don't.
01:05:15Let me remind you.
01:05:17Fifteen years ago, the orphanage, your best friend.
01:05:27No, no.
01:05:31No, no, it can't be.
01:05:33Yeah.
01:05:34Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:05:39Yeah, Marcus, it is me.
01:05:41Hey, we're playing money!
01:05:43I don't have it.
01:05:44What do you call cash?
01:05:45I don't have anything.
01:05:47Hey, leave him alone!
01:05:49Leave him alone!
01:05:52You okay?
01:05:54What happened?
01:05:55The digging and searching.
01:05:57I uncovered the real secrets about your perfect marriage.
01:06:01Yeah, I kidnapped you once you got away.
01:06:04You stole my phone, too, so I had to get closer.
01:06:07I joined your campaign team.
01:06:09Marcus, do you ever wonder why you couldn't?
01:06:12What happened here?
01:06:13You changed.
01:06:14You recognize me now?
01:06:17Noble congressman?
01:06:18Or should I say you're an orphan nobody wanted?
01:06:21You keep that a secret from your voters, too?
01:06:24John, why do you hate me?
01:06:25We were friends.
01:06:26Why do you hate me?
01:06:27Why are you targeting Ariel?
01:06:28Friends, you stole everything from me, Marcus.
01:06:32That stage you parade around on.
01:06:35This life of power and respect belonged to me, not to you.
01:06:39And at first, I'd let it go.
01:06:43I wanted to let it go.
01:06:44But every time I turned on the TV, I saw you parading around this perfect life, and it wasn't fair.
01:06:50The flicks chose Marcus.
01:06:51Shut up!
01:06:52The flicks chose me.
01:06:55But on adoption day, yeah, you remember, I got sick from the cake you gave me.
01:06:59I was at the hospital with food poisoning, so they took you and said...
01:07:03Sean, I went back to the orphanage.
01:07:05I spoke to the dean, and he said that you were adopted by a loving family, that you were happy.
01:07:10Happy?
01:07:13I was adopted into a nightmare.
01:07:15A couple that divorced and left me out to rot.
01:07:19What about that is happy?
01:07:23Sean, I'm sorry for what you went through, but revenge is not the way.
01:07:26We gotta figure this out together.
01:07:28Figure it out?
01:07:29What are we gonna figure out, Marcus?
01:07:31I spent years suffering watching you live my life.
01:07:34We are never figuring it out.
01:07:41Hold on!
01:07:42I got you!
01:07:43Sean, I'm not gonna let you fall any further!
01:07:46Come on!
01:07:47Sean!
01:07:50Sean!
01:07:52Sean, we don't have to hate each other.
01:07:54Okay, just let it go.
01:07:55I will go to the police.
01:07:57I will explain everything.
01:07:58You don't have to worry about it.
01:07:59Just please...
01:08:00Please don't let the hatred consume you.
01:08:03You were always a saint, Marcus.
01:08:09Marcus, look out!
01:08:13Oh, my God!
01:08:14Oh, my God!
01:08:14Oh, my God!
01:08:15Oh, my God!
01:08:15Are you okay?
01:08:16Perfect.
01:08:18You get to die in front of the one you love the most.
01:08:22My revenge is complete.
01:08:26Daniel, don't, you don't need to...
01:08:28It's okay.
01:08:34You're okay.
01:08:35Just apply pressure.
01:08:36It's gonna be okay.
01:08:37I'm fine.
01:08:37I'm fine.
01:08:40Daniel, you don't need to...
01:08:41It's okay.
01:08:46You're okay.
01:08:47Just apply pressure.
01:08:48It's gonna be okay.
01:08:49I'm fine.
01:08:49I'm fine.
01:08:50I need you to pray pressure.
01:08:52I need you to stay with me, okay?
01:08:56I love you, and I need you to take me here, okay?
01:08:58I love you.
01:08:59Don't you...
01:08:59Don't say that right now.
01:09:00Please just hold that for later.
01:09:02We're gonna say that later, okay?
01:09:03We're gonna get out of here.
01:09:04Do you trust me?
01:09:05I trust you.
01:09:09Daniel, come to the lake.
01:09:11Now.
01:09:11Marcus, look, it's dying.
01:09:12No.
01:09:12No.
01:09:14No.
01:09:14No.
01:09:14No.
01:09:14No.
01:09:14No.
01:09:14No.
01:09:14No.
01:09:14No.
01:09:15No.
01:09:15No.
01:09:15No.
01:09:16No.
01:09:16No.
01:09:16No.
01:09:16No.
01:09:16No.
01:09:16No.
01:09:17No.
01:09:17No.
01:09:18No.
01:09:18No.
01:09:18No.
01:09:18No.
01:09:21Ariel?
01:09:24Claire?
01:09:27Why are you here?
01:09:29I've been looking abroad.
01:09:31Marcus and I have been talking, keeping in touch over the last couple years, and his
01:09:36assistant told me that he was hospitalized.
01:09:38I'm so sorry.
01:09:40I didn't realize you and Marcus still talked.
01:09:42I thought, um, you don't know that, why 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 live the life you want.
01:10:02I don't want to be a pawn for the family's games anymore.
01:10:07I want to be free.
01:10:09I know.
01:10:09I'm not going to hold you back anymore.
01:10:12But you've got to do one thing for me.
01:10:14Can you please tell your parents?
01:10:17Can you please tell them to let Ariel marry me?
01:10:20Marcus chose me?
01:10:23Marcus chose me?
01:10:25He knew that Simone would marry you off for money if he couldn't.
01:10:28He married you to protect you.
01:10:31And if he acted indifferent, it's only because he didn't want you to get too attached.
01:10:36Why didn't he just say that?
01:10:37You know, Marcus, he can't admit his feelings very easily.
01:10:43But his love, it's...
01:10:45It's deeper than anyone's.
01:10:50So?
01:10:53He doesn't know that I've been in love with him since we were children?
01:10:56It's always been you, Ariel.
01:10:59Ever since we were children, it's only ever been you.
01:11:04He's always loved you.
01:11:13Marcus, you really are the dumbest asshole in the world.
01:11:16You know that, right?
01:11:17Why didn't you tell me you married me to protect me?
01:11:21Why were you so cold?
01:11:24Why did you...
01:11:25Why did you protect you hated me?
01:11:30Because none of it worked.
01:11:34I still love you.
01:11:38Of course I still love you.
01:11:40I need you.
01:11:41You can't leave me, okay?
01:11:43Okay?
01:11:43Okay?
01:11:43Okay?
01:11:43Take this ring.
01:11:51Take it.
01:11:54And put it on my finger again.
01:11:56I just...
01:11:58I need to...
01:12:01Hear you say that you love me.
01:12:04Please, Marcus.
01:12:05Yes.
01:12:05You're awake.
01:12:16Marcus.
01:12:19You're awake.
01:12:29This...
01:12:30This ring wasn't left behind by your sister.
01:12:33It was made custom for you.
01:12:38It's unique just like you.
01:12:42It just wasn't the right time to give it to you before.
01:12:46Because you were mad and...
01:12:47And I'm sorry.
01:12:51Marcus, are you always this overdramatic?
01:12:55Yes.
01:12:56And it's because I think you're the only one who can handle me.
01:12:58Miss Ariel Rochester, are you still...
01:13:15Will you still marry me?
01:13:21Yes.
01:13:23I will.
01:13:23I will.
01:13:23I will.
01:13:23I will.
01:13:23I will.
01:13:25I will.
01:13:27Come here.
01:13:35Matt.
01:13:36Come here.
01:13:37Come here.
01:13:48Stop it.
01:13:49Stop.
01:13:50I'm not kidding.
01:13:52Don't be so naughty, Governor.
01:13:55I'm going to be naughty.
01:13:56I'm not kidding.
01:14:11I want to take a moment to thank my parents, and my campaign team, and all my friends out
01:14:18there, who have carried me through every challenge.
01:14:21But above all, I want to thank my wife.
01:14:27Ariel Rochester, with strength, courage, and love, I wouldn't be alive without today.
01:14:34This woman is not only my wife, she is the dream that carried me through my childhood, and she's
01:14:44the light that pierces my darkest days.
01:14:47Ariel, I love you.
01:14:50Can you hear that?
01:14:51Yes, I can.
01:14:53I don't think so.
01:14:56I don't think so.
01:14:57I don't think so.
01:14:58I don't think so.
01:14:59I don't think so.
01:15:00I don't think so.
01:15:01I don't think so.
01:15:02I don't think so.
01:15:03I don't think so.
01:15:04I don't think so.
01:15:05I don't think so.
01:15:05I don't think so.
01:15:06I don't think so.
01:15:06I don't think so.
01:15:07I don't think so.
