00:00:00Hey mister, will you marry me?
00:00:08Shelby Trudeau must be married by 5 o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:12I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau, I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:15Who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:00:16The last guy you even slept with was a one night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:00:21Alright, let's get married.
00:00:22I can't keep living in the past.
00:00:23Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:00:24Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:00:26You're a public figure.
00:00:27How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:00:28The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a boy.
00:00:29She liked me for me.
00:00:30I want that again.
00:00:31You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:00:32Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:00:33I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:00:34How pathetic.
00:00:35And pointless.
00:00:36Look how in love we are.
00:00:37Sometimes I forget how to let go.
00:00:38But for you, every day is fun.
00:00:39Actually, I don't know.
00:00:40I don't know.
00:00:41I don't know.
00:00:42I don't know.

00:01:31I don't know.
00:01:32I don't know.
00:01:33I … I … I … I … I … I I don't know.
00:01:34I don't know.
00:01:35I don't know.
00:01:36I don't know what's happening.
00:01:37I don't know.
00:01:38I'm bored.
00:01:39According to Mr Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be
00:01:45married by five o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:50That unladylike girl is not my daughter.
00:01:52Bad enough, I'm her stepmother.
00:01:54Right, and hello.
00:01:55We want Shelby to know show.
00:01:57That's the way we get everything.
00:01:58I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
00:02:13I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:02:15Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.
00:02:18And dressed in your old uniform.
00:02:20Pathetic.
00:02:21Still trying to play hero.
00:02:23I'm in the Army Reserve now, CC.
00:02:25I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:02:28The will, please.
00:02:30Ooh, the Army Reserve.
00:02:33Should have just died in the field
00:02:34like a good little soldier.
00:02:36No one would have missed you.
00:02:37Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:02:41You don't have to respect me, but don't you
00:02:43dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on the battlefield.
00:02:47Look around, CC.
00:02:49Your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:02:51Do you think any of that would be possible
00:02:53without others sacrificing?
00:02:55You have freedom and peace because someone
00:02:58else is carrying the burden.
00:03:05Of course.
00:03:06The will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:03:09And I want to thank you for your service.
00:03:15Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance
00:03:17is yours, only if signed by both you and your spouse.
00:03:24Ooh, that means you've got 15 minutes
00:03:26to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:28Tick tock.
00:03:29Oh.
00:03:40Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:03:43Give up your inheritance and I'll give you 1%.
00:03:46Better than nothing.
00:03:49You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:03:51You will not take what he left me.
00:03:53And what this money could do to help the gym and all
00:03:56the women that are part of it.
00:04:00Really, Shelby?
00:04:01Who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:04:03The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand
00:04:05three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:04:16Don't.
00:04:17Keep the mystery.
00:04:22You've already lost, Shelby.
00:04:24Take the 1% I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:04:27Right.
00:04:29You're not even going to find a bum on the street
00:04:30to marry you in time.
00:04:34Watch me.
00:04:38Watch me.
00:04:43Watch me.
00:04:46Watch me.
00:04:59Don't worry.
00:05:06He looks single.
00:05:08Oh my god, this is totally FUBAR.
00:05:11Suck it up, soldier.
00:05:13You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:05:17Hey, mister?
00:05:20Will you marry me?
00:05:30I know this sounds crazy, and there's no time to explain.
00:05:33But if you help me, I promise a generous reward
00:05:36once I get my inheritance.
00:05:37Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:40So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:05:42Do I look like a homeless person there?
00:05:44Priceless.
00:05:47Shelby Trudeau, you insane.
00:05:49You can't marry this helpful.
00:05:54Shelby Trudeau, the late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:05:58That's right.
00:05:59The judge said she was a soldier.
00:06:01He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:06:04Here's a few bucks.
00:06:06Take it and get lost.
00:06:07Don't meddle in our business.
00:06:09Don't speak to him like that.
00:06:11He's a person with feelings.
00:06:14The Cinderella Tale, complete with an evil stepmother
00:06:17and obnoxious stepsister.
00:06:19It's clear who deserves my help.
00:06:21And the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:06:24All right.
00:06:25Let's get married.
00:06:41Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:43Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:46And your name is?
00:06:48Griffin Roy.
00:07:10And congratulations, you lovebirds.
00:07:24This isn't over.
00:07:25Tell her.
00:07:33Sergeant Trudeau, Mrs. Roy, you have
00:07:36to stay married for at least one full year
00:07:39or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.
00:07:43Shelby, you won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:56I guess we'll need to keep in touch.
00:07:58But you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:08:02Once the estate gets settled and I have the money,
00:08:04we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job.
00:08:08When most people get what they wanted,
00:08:10they usually just walk away.
00:08:12Well, I'm not most people.
00:08:15I see that.
00:08:23I got to return this.
00:08:26Goodbye for now.
00:08:29Goodbye, wife.
00:08:43Where the hell have you been?
00:09:01Gotcha.
00:09:02Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:09:07This DNA, get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:09:09Look, as your campaign manager, I
00:09:12need you to be more focused on your image, OK?
00:09:15You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
00:09:21Marrying Isabel was the best decision of my life.
00:09:26You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago,
00:09:30you got a package deal.
00:09:32Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor,
00:09:35playboy lawyer, the best.
00:09:38This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:09:40In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women
00:09:44who want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:09:47Look, you can't keep pining over some girl
00:09:49you met three years ago.
00:09:51It's not just some girl.
00:09:52We had a connection.
00:09:55Never had that before.
00:10:02Look, I got to run.
00:10:03But Griffin, you need to find a woman who
00:10:05can stand by your side, someone real,
00:10:09not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:10:29Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:10:32It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:10:35All right, guys, that's class.
00:10:37Nice work.
00:10:44So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:10:47I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:10:52Who knows how many other women he's done this to?
00:10:55So I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place
00:10:59and confront him in person.
00:11:02What's holding you back?
00:11:03Andre's no regular guy, Shelby.
00:11:05He's got a bro pack.
00:11:07These men are like wolves with money.
00:11:09Let's go.
00:11:10We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:31What's your name?
00:11:33I'm Stephanie.
00:11:34How about a drink, huh?
00:11:36Oh, that's OK.
00:11:37Come on, one little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:39OK, one drink.
00:11:41Really, Pierce, this clown is the one who controls
00:11:44the town's power brokers.
00:11:45You want to beat LaRoche, you've
00:11:47got to mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:11:56I can't believe I slept with that.
00:11:58What was I thinking?
00:12:01I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:12:03I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
00:12:07It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
00:12:13Thanks.
00:12:14That creep.
00:12:17You dickless loser.
00:12:27Drugging girls to get laid.
00:12:29What the fuck?
00:12:30Get out of my house, skank.
00:12:32I'm the skank?
00:12:34That's funny.
00:12:35You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:12:37Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:12:40Unless you're back for more, I know how much of a whore
00:12:43you really are.
00:12:44You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:12:46I just told you that you have chlamydia, and you.
00:12:50Oh my god, you already know you have it.
00:12:53And you don't care.
00:12:56Ladies, Andre Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
00:13:03What is she doing here?
00:13:05Both of you, get out of here.
00:13:10Oh shit.
00:13:11She can't know who I am yet.
00:13:18Do you know who I am?
00:13:19I don't care.
00:13:25Hey.
00:13:26Where did she come from?
00:13:28That's my business.
00:13:28I'm not your business.
00:13:29I'm not your business.
00:13:30I'm not your business.
00:13:31Where did she come from?
00:13:32That's my wife.
00:13:33Isn't she amazing?
00:13:35And she's going to cost you, Andre, once he
00:13:36finds out you're married to her.
00:13:37I don't care.
00:13:38You think you can crash my party and put that ninja shit on me?
00:13:43You are one dead bitch.
00:13:55Oh, nice.
00:13:56Did you see that combo?
00:13:58Dude, she can fight.
00:13:59Look at her form, man.
00:14:02Oh.
00:14:04Dude, she can really fight, man.
00:14:06You are hopeless.
00:14:09Hey, swap me jackets.
00:14:11I'll give you my Rolex.
00:14:18Oh.
00:14:19Oh.
00:14:19Oh.
00:14:25Oh.
00:14:26Oh.
00:14:27Oh.
00:14:32Oh.
00:14:35Fuck you, Roy.
00:14:37I'll do everything I can to end you.
00:14:39We should get out of here.
00:14:40Yeah, yeah.
00:14:41Come on.
00:14:45Get him.
00:14:48You lied to me.
00:14:49You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:51When did I say I was homeless?
00:14:53You were next to a dumpster.
00:14:54That's not much of a leap.
00:14:56What were you doing at this party?
00:14:58Working the room.
00:14:59Oh, thought you were one of those asshole rich guys.
00:15:04I'm sorry, I hope I didn't cost you your job.
00:15:07I know how you can make it up to me.
00:15:09Have dinner with me.
00:15:12My place is nearby.
00:15:14I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
00:15:16Wow, a wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:15:19I'm one lucky man.
00:15:21Don't push it.
00:15:30Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:37This is nice.
00:15:38I haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time.
00:15:41It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.
00:15:44How long were you in the military?
00:15:45Seven years.
00:15:46I joined right after high school.
00:15:48My mom had just died, and I was feeling rudderless.
00:15:52You weren't close with your father?
00:15:54I was.
00:15:55He was my hero.
00:15:58Until he wasn't.
00:16:01He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:16:03He was the judge, and she was the court stenographer.
00:16:06It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:16:09That must have been really hard for you.
00:16:12It was harder on my mom.
00:16:13She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too.
00:16:16Even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:16:18But then three years ago, he reached out,
00:16:20told me he was sick, so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:16:24Here I am.
00:16:25Here you are.
00:16:27Enough about me.
00:16:29What's your story, Griffin Roy?
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:34Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:16:36We know you're in there, Shelby.
00:16:38The light is on.
00:16:39We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:42We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:45Hey.
00:16:47I'll handle this.
00:16:52Oh.
00:16:54I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling,
00:16:55but it's just you two.
00:16:57And you are?
00:16:58That's a homeless guy that Shelby married.
00:17:00What are you doing here?
00:17:02Why wouldn't Griffin be here?
00:17:04He's my husband, after all.
00:17:06Oh.
00:17:07Mama, what are we going to do?
00:17:08We need to challenge the will.
00:17:09But how can we do that if they're still together?
00:17:10Shut up, Cece.
00:17:12Oh.
00:17:13I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:17:16How pathetic and pointless.
00:17:18Look how in love we are.
00:17:20I'm back.
00:17:23Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:17:26Right.
00:17:28We're going to shred that will and your shame of marriage
00:17:29in no time.
00:17:30Mm-hmm.
00:17:41Margo and Cece are going to be a problem.
00:17:43There's no way they'll let us be.
00:17:45What if we moved in together?
00:17:48You want to live here?
00:17:50No.
00:17:51Somewhere with better security, like my place.
00:17:56Sure.
00:17:57I'm dying to see where you live.
00:18:04So let me get this straight.
00:18:06You told her you're house-sitting?
00:18:08That's right.
00:18:09Said I was going to watch the house while the owner
00:18:12was in Europe for the year.
00:18:13You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:15Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:21I saw you from across the room, and I had to talk to you.
00:18:24That's very flattering, but you don't know anything about me.
00:18:28I know you take my breath away.
00:18:29And I know that I would wonder for the rest of my life
00:18:33if I didn't take this chance, even
00:18:34if it was only for one night.
00:18:36Maybe it's better this way.
00:18:39No names, no past.
00:18:42We can just be ourselves.
00:18:44I'd like that very much.
00:18:47The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
00:18:50She liked me for me.
00:18:53And I want that again, Pierce, even for a little while.
00:19:04Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.
00:19:07Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:19:10A lot of people know who you are.
00:19:12How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:19:15I don't know.
00:19:16But I have a chance to be with someone
00:19:18without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
00:19:20Well, just remember, we're about to launch
00:19:23a multi-platform campaign.
00:19:25In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboards,
00:19:29your face is about to be everywhere.
00:19:32Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.
00:19:48This place is insane.
00:19:49The owner must really trust you.
00:19:52Yep, we're pretty tight.
00:19:55Here, let me show you to your room.
00:20:03I can't keep living in the past.
00:20:06Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:20:12I'm sorry.
00:20:13I'm sorry.
00:20:18I'm sorry.
00:20:25Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:20:32I take it things are going well with Xena Warrior Princess.
00:20:35Oh, she's so exciting and competitive.
00:20:37Keeps me on my toes.
00:20:39Oh, and so damn beautiful.
00:20:41Face sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
00:20:43Well, when do I get to meet her?
00:20:45Her military background and work with actress women
00:20:47and female and male voters.
00:20:49Dial it back, Pierce.
00:20:50We're in the early stages.
00:20:52All right, well, don't take too long.
00:20:54You married her for the campaign.
00:20:56And it's not like she can dump you once she finds out.
00:20:59She needs you for her inheritance.
00:21:09Good.
00:21:16Hey.
00:21:17I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:21:18Oh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:20Get your mind out of the gutter, woman.
00:21:22I'm talking food here.
00:21:24All right, in that case, surprise me.
00:21:26Trust me, I'm full of surprises.
00:21:29I bet you are.
00:21:31See you soon.
00:21:41Gotcha, sis.
00:21:43So this is where you've been hiding out.
00:21:46Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:21:56Did you want some of my wine?
00:22:16I turned off your alarm.
00:22:18You obviously needed to sleep.
00:22:20We can run tonight.
00:22:21P.S. You snore, but it's super cute.
00:22:25I do not snore, Griffin Roy.
00:22:27Oh.
00:22:46What are you doing in a place like this?
00:22:49I live here.
00:22:50When did you move in?
00:22:52Um, last week.
00:22:53We're house-sitting.
00:22:54Yeah, I have heard that one before.
00:22:56Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.
00:22:58Thieves are always trying to break in.
00:23:01Who are you calling a thief?
00:23:03Please step out now.
00:23:06What the hell are you doing?
00:23:08Just routine inspection.
00:23:16Let's see what else you're hiding here.
00:23:26Get your filthy hands off my wife.
00:23:28What?
00:23:34Oh, cool.
00:23:36I thought I was saving you, but it looks like you got it.
00:23:39Oh, oh, look out.
00:23:40Damn, lady, you make it look easy.
00:23:45Are you hurt?
00:23:46Just my pride.
00:23:49Yeah, looks like you get a flat.
00:23:51Let's get out of here.
00:23:52We can take my car.
00:23:54This is yours?
00:23:57Borrowed it from a friend.
00:23:59Right.
00:24:02I know all the guards who work here,
00:24:04and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:06Who the hell are you?
00:24:07I'm a cop.
00:24:08I work here, and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:09Who the hell are you, man?
00:24:12Some kind of big shot or something?
00:24:14Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.
00:24:18All right.
00:24:19You're under arrest.
00:24:22What the hell is going on?
00:24:31Well, that didn't go as planned.
00:24:34Mama, this is all your fault. You
00:24:36You pushed me to hire those thugs to humiliate Shelby,
00:24:39and now my money's wasted, and she got off scot-free.
00:24:41Eyes on the prize, Cece.
00:24:43Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate,
00:24:45this will be pocket change.
00:24:47Yeah, and who would have thought that bum would have got
00:24:49the police involved in all this mess?
00:24:51I don't believe he's a bum.
00:24:53I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?
00:24:56No matter whether he's a tramp or not,
00:24:58he married Shelby for her money.
00:25:01Offer him a better deal, and he'll leave her.
00:25:04We annul the marriage and claim the entire estate.
00:25:07Ha, ha, ha.
00:25:09Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox the port-a-potty billionaire
00:25:12looking for a new gigolo?
00:25:14That old cougar?
00:25:15Oh, Cece, honey, when they're that age,
00:25:18they're not cougars.
00:25:19They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:22Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:25:26Well, then we just got to make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25:30You really should have iced these right away.
00:25:33I realize that now.
00:25:35I've only ever sparred with gloves on,
00:25:38never thrown a bare-knuckle punch before.
00:25:42What?
00:25:44Did I just hand in my man card?
00:25:46No, you knocked a guy out with one punch.
00:25:48Your man card is fully intact.
00:25:51You just sounded like a prep school rich boy for a second.
00:25:54I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:25:57You just sounded like a prep school rich boy for a second.
00:26:05Not just for today, but for everything.
00:26:08It's been really lonely since my dad died,
00:26:10and it's nice having someone on my side.
00:26:13There's no need to thank me.
00:26:16I am your husband.
00:26:19Close your eyes.
00:26:21Okay, fair is fair.
00:26:25I owe you one.
00:26:26Okay, fair is fair.
00:26:36I owe you one.
00:26:37Okay, fair is fair.
00:26:44I owe you one.
00:26:45Okay, fair is fair.
00:26:51Sorry. I know we're just pretending.
00:26:58Right. Pretending.
00:27:02I'm gonna go for a run.
00:27:09Okay, I'll come with...
00:27:11What if it's just me? Wouldn't that be ironic?
00:27:18The first woman I'm into for so long is not into me.
00:27:21Fuck!
00:27:37Griffin kissed me and it felt just like that night three years ago.
00:27:42What's wrong with me?
00:27:44How can I feel the exact same way for two different men?
00:27:58I don't know. He looks like a wet street dog.
00:28:01I'll shower and a haircut and he'll be marginally presentable.
00:28:05Hey! You!
00:28:11We got a proposition for you.
00:28:13How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?
00:28:16Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
00:28:18Get in.
00:28:32Are you sure he's not homeless? Eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:35So you want me to divorce Shelby and marry Victoria Wilcox, the shithouse billionaire?
00:28:47You will refer to them as port-a-parties, young man.
00:28:52We know you're after Shelby's inheritance, but she's never gonna see it.
00:28:57Well, he'll do.
00:29:04Oh, he'll do just nicely.
00:29:09Wait a minute. Have we met before? Because you look real familiar.
00:29:14Oh, no.
00:29:16Nope, I don't think I run in your kinds of circles, Miss Wilcox.
00:29:21The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:27The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:30And you will also be paid 20 grand a month to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:29:39You don't need to worry, boy, because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:58I don't understand. This says...
00:30:01You're under arrest for pandering.
00:30:05Detective McSwain, this woman has tried to recruit me as a sex worker.
00:30:11That's a class C felony.
00:30:13He's lying.
00:30:16And you will also be paid 20 grand a month to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:30:26Detective, detective, there must be some misunderstanding. There's no nonsense going on here.
00:30:33You can't arrest me on the word of that bum. He set me up.
00:30:36Detective McSwain, it's getting late. I'd like to go home and see my wife.
00:30:47Wait. You have made a big mistake rejecting me.
00:30:52I'm a woman of wealth and power that you cannot fathom.
00:30:57I will make you pay very dearly for this.
00:31:00I don't think anyone mentioned my last name. It's Roy.
00:31:09Well, I knew you looked familiar, you see. I'm just an old woman. You could forgive me.
00:31:16Get out of my face.
00:31:20Pardon me. Excuse me.
00:31:25All right, we got her in the car. How far do you want this to go?
00:31:29Put the fear of God in there. Mug shot, fingerprints, the works.
00:31:34Then in the morning, drop the charges before the press gets wind.
00:31:38Pierce would have your hide.
00:31:40You got it, Griff.
00:31:52Where have you been? I was worried you were gone so long.
00:31:56Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:00Are you hungry? I can heat up some leftovers.
00:32:03Yeah, I'd like that.
00:32:07Did that just happen? Maybe I have a shot with her after all.
00:32:23Oh, baby, my little girl.
00:32:26I will never forget the humiliation that man has caused us.
00:32:30Don't you worry, Mama. I have a plan.
00:32:33I had all night to think about it in that cold, hard cell.
00:32:37If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby, fine.
00:32:40We'll just force Shelby to divorce him.
00:32:44And I know just where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:49Easy.
00:33:05I think we shaved 30 seconds off that time.
00:33:08I thought I was competitive. You even compete with yourself.
00:33:21You're not growing. You're dying.
00:33:24I am. I'm going to go shower.
00:33:33Get a grip, Shelby. So he's hot.
00:33:36You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
00:33:39What makes him any different? He just is.
00:33:47Hey, Zara. Shelby, you have to get here right away.
00:33:51Buford's kicking us out the gym.
00:33:57I'm sorry, my hands are tied.
00:34:01He says we have to leave. OK, I got this.
00:34:04Mr. Buford, what are you doing? This is my place of business.
00:34:07You're done here. I sold the building. The new owners want you out.
00:34:11That's illegal. I have a lease.
00:34:14They've got a break clause for new management, and they've decided to activate it.
00:34:18Who the hell is they?
00:34:24That would be us.
00:34:28If we can take it from here.
00:34:30Sure thing. Pleasure doing business with you, ladies.
00:34:33I know you used all your army money for this gym, but you can get it back.
00:34:38All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.
00:34:42Get a divorce, give up your inheritance, and then you can keep your dinky, smelly gym.
00:34:56I bet you want to hit me so bad.
00:34:59Not so tough now, are you, Shelby?
00:35:01Screw you. I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:35:05Sorry, the building is now closed for renovations, and everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:13Of course, you could sue, but that would take months.
00:35:18Well, what would happen to your gym now, Shelby?
00:35:22That's blackmail.
00:35:23We like to call it capitalism.
00:35:25You don't sign, we close the gym, and then you lose everything.
00:35:31Think about what you're doing.
00:35:33This gym is a lifeline for so many women. I won't let you take it from them.
00:35:37You can beg, but I won't budge.
00:35:42Be a smart girl and sign the papers by tomorrow, or you can kiss your Valkyrie Fight Club goodbye.
00:35:50Why don't you just turn it into Valkyrie Strip Club?
00:35:55Isn't that a good idea?
00:35:57There's poles and everything.
00:35:58Oh, my.
00:35:59Plenty of girls.
00:36:00They're cute.
00:36:01They are cute.
00:36:02Cute enough.
00:36:12I'm not here because I'd give a damn if you win.
00:36:15I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy doesn't.
00:36:18Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:36:22The fuck you say?
00:36:24What exactly did Roy do to earn your loathing?
00:36:28He partnered up against me with a She-Warrior.
00:36:32I want to see them both destroyed.
00:36:35Well, with your connections and my political might, I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:49LaRoche got Andre.
00:36:51What are we going to do about this?
00:36:53Nothing.
00:36:54We do not want these two pairing up, all right?
00:36:57This is political suicide.
00:36:58Just talk to Shelby.
00:37:00Maybe if you both apologize...
00:37:01Um, hell no.
00:37:03Let them do their best.
00:37:04Mark my words, this is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
00:37:13Hello, Shelby.
00:37:16Griffin, we need to talk.
00:37:25Shelby?
00:37:26What's going on?
00:37:27You sounded tense on the phone.
00:37:31I have so many missed moments.
00:37:33Things I should have said or done.
00:37:35Chances that were lost that might have been pivotal to my life.
00:37:39I don't want you to be another moment that I miss.
00:37:46Okay.
00:37:54You first.
00:38:15Okay.
00:38:19You first.
00:38:45You first.
00:39:03How was that?
00:39:04Fucking amazing.
00:39:16Griffin?
00:39:17Where are you going?
00:39:19Griffin?
00:39:21Griffin!
00:39:24Explain yourself.
00:39:25Toothbrush.
00:39:29PJs.
00:39:31This is Jacques.
00:39:33Why?
00:39:35You're my wife.
00:39:36I sleep with you now.
00:39:37We probably should have talked this through.
00:39:40Yeah.
00:39:41You said you had missed moments.
00:39:44I've had them too.
00:39:46You will not be one of them.
00:39:49I know we said we were pretending, but...
00:39:52I want to give us a chance.
00:39:54A real one.
00:39:56Oh?
00:40:14Fuck.
00:40:44I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:41:07Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour.
00:41:09We can go over the divorce papers.
00:41:15Goodbye, my husband.
00:41:26I knew something must have happened.
00:41:34Hello.
00:41:35Pierce.
00:41:36I need you to use all your connections to find out what Cece and Margot Trudeau did to Shelby yesterday.
00:41:42Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.
00:41:46It's five in the morning.
00:41:48You have an hour.
00:41:54How did Cece get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?
00:41:58She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral.
00:42:01Stupid.
00:42:02Good for us, bad for them.
00:42:04And the property title?
00:42:06Still in escrow.
00:42:07The title hasn't been transferred yet.
00:42:09Make sure it is...
00:42:10in your name.
00:42:12You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive.
00:42:15Oh, goody, goody.
00:42:22Talk to me, McSwain.
00:42:23I showed the fake guards in lockup Cece Trudeau's mugshot.
00:42:26You're right.
00:42:27She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife.
00:42:29How'd you know?
00:42:31Had her M.O. written all over it.
00:42:33I take it the kid gloves are off this time?
00:42:35Oh, yeah.
00:42:36Cece Trudeau thinks she's untouchable.
00:42:38Let's show her just how wrong she is.
00:42:48I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
00:42:51I definitely have.
00:42:54Showtime.
00:42:56I'm your campaign manager, not some hired muscle.
00:42:59Here's what I think about your agreement.
00:43:02Did you see that?
00:43:03Did you see that?
00:43:04She chose me, man.
00:43:05She chose me.
00:43:06Well, hell.
00:43:07Looks like she did.
00:43:09You fucking bitch!
00:43:12That's her cue.
00:43:17Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby.
00:43:19You're gonna lose everything.
00:43:21You know, at least I still have my self-respect,
00:43:23which is more than I can say for you.
00:43:25Don't be hasty, Cece.
00:43:27Showtime.
00:43:30Don't be hasty, Cece.
00:43:32She's basically a man.
00:43:33You'll get hurt.
00:43:34I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine,
00:43:37but I will never agree to your demands.
00:43:41Reclaim what's yours?
00:43:42You're never gonna step foot in your precious gym ever again.
00:43:48That will be difficult to enforce since I now own the building.
00:43:53Who the hell are you?
00:43:55Pierce Durand.
00:43:56The new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.
00:43:59What?
00:44:02Your deal fell out of escrow.
00:44:05I swooped in and bought it.
00:44:07That's impossible. I own it.
00:44:10Let me spell this out in a way that even an imbecile will understand.
00:44:14I outbid you.
00:44:16The building is mine.
00:44:18Now scram.
00:44:19I never.
00:44:21Miss Trudeau, I want to ensure you that your lease is secure.
00:44:25The only change will be a 40% rent reduction.
00:44:29That's unbelievable. Are you sure you can afford that?
00:44:33Oh yeah.
00:44:35Thank you, Mr. Durand.
00:44:38The gym means a lot to the women in this community.
00:44:46Cece Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion.
00:44:49The fake guards identified you as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau.
00:44:54Okay, well, but that was last week. You can't arrest me now.
00:44:57We most certainly can, and this time the charges won't be dropped.
00:45:01No, no, no. You can't take my girl.
00:45:04I'm coming after you. I'm never going to forget this when I get out of your mind.
00:45:10Come on.
00:45:18Zara, call everyone.
00:45:21Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
00:45:30Well, aren't you going to go over there?
00:45:33You're the one that orchestrated this whole thing.
00:45:36No, it's her victory.
00:45:39I merely did what a husband shouldn't to ensure her happiness.
00:45:42That's my reward.
00:45:44That is some wild shit you just spouted.
00:45:47This girl is seriously causing you to lose a grip.
00:45:49You worry too much.
00:45:51And you don't worry enough.
00:45:53We have a campaign to win, and you're ten points behind LaRoche in all the latest polls.
00:45:57What are you driving at?
00:45:59Tell Shelby who you are.
00:46:01The voters need to know who your wife is, and we need to be able to shape the narrative.
00:46:05You wait too long, and Neville LaRoche is going to find out and beat us to it.
00:46:09Okay. I'll tell her.
00:46:12I just... I need a few more days of just me with her.
00:46:18Then I'll confess everything.
00:46:29That's Shelby Trudeau, owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
00:46:33Pretty girl.
00:46:35So, is she screwing Durand or Roy?
00:46:38I don't know, sir.
00:46:40That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
00:46:43Those stuck-up twats kept going on and on about their precious lineages dating back to the Mayflower.
00:46:54Not everyone's white trash like you, Isabel.
00:46:58It is a wonder how you overcame your low-class origins and gained my interest.
00:47:06That wasn't your interest, darling. That was your cock.
00:47:09Hmm. Touché, my dear.
00:47:12Why are you looking at a picture of her?
00:47:14Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:47:16Well, she went by Michelle in high school, but yeah, that's her.
00:47:21She was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school.
00:47:26From bullies like you, per se.
00:47:30Oh, that is unfortunate.
00:47:34You'll have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect.
00:47:38Neville, no.
00:47:39I mean your new bestie, Isabel.
00:47:41Baby, no.
00:47:49It's cooling off. We should go inside.
00:47:53Just a few more minutes.
00:47:55I can't remember the last time I let myself just be.
00:48:01Yeah.
00:48:02I guess when my parents were still together.
00:48:05Before the divorce, the cheating, Mom getting sick.
00:48:10I was carefree then.
00:48:12I joined the army after, but that was just another rollercoaster.
00:48:17It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory cutting off weapons supply routes.
00:48:23I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:48:27It's not the place, it's the person.
00:48:30I feel like I've known you forever.
00:48:38Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:48:47I guess I can wait one more day.
00:48:53Our most sought after place at Valkyrie is our women's self-defense kickboxing.
00:49:01Sign me up.
00:49:03Oh shit, Isabel.
00:49:05The girl who made my life and everyone else's a living hell in high school.
00:49:09What sneaky BS is she up to?
00:49:12Oh my gosh, Michelle, is it you?
00:49:15I go by Shelby now.
00:49:17You look amazing.
00:49:19You look amazing.
00:49:21Michelle, Shelby, and I go way back.
00:49:25Gosh, what a small world.
00:49:28Well, for membership we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
00:49:32How about I pay up front for three years?
00:49:35And I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join.
00:49:38You know, if you're really serious about this, you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:49:44I was a mean girl in high school, and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:49:49What you've built here is so empowering.
00:49:53If I had had something like this growing up, then maybe I would have found the courage to stop my pa from all the horrible things he did to me and Ma.
00:50:04Shelby, can we start over?
00:50:06Would you let me try to make it right?
00:50:10Okay.
00:50:21This is so awesome.
00:50:23How about lunch? I'm free to grab a bite right now.
00:50:26We can catch up.
00:50:29Okay, let me grab my bag.
00:50:32Yeah, baby!
00:50:40Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign.
00:50:44He's pro-union and has a five-point plan to improve workplace safety regulations.
00:50:50Shit!
00:50:52No, no, not you. I gotta call you back.
00:50:56Okay.
00:51:04LaRoche knows about Shelby. He's sicked Isabelle on her. Look, here's her Instagram.
00:51:11What the fuck?
00:51:13LaRoche's oppo research must have tagged her.
00:51:15Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
00:51:17Screw the narrative. It's a trap.
00:51:19They've got my wife.
00:51:27I thought this was supposed to be a quick bite. I have a business to run, you know.
00:51:31You haven't changed a bit since high school. So dedicated. I've always admired that about you.
00:51:38Alright, cut the crap, Izzy.
00:51:40Others might buy your ladylike act, but I know you're still the same vicious bully inside.
00:51:46You didn't come to my gym by accident. What's your angle?
00:51:48Neville asked me to befriend you. I don't want to be here.
00:51:52So I can just add that to the list of reasons why I fucking loathe you.
00:51:58What's my angle, Shelby?
00:52:01The complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy.
00:52:05And if I can take you down with him, all the better.
00:52:13Shelby, listen to me. The press are on their way. I don't have time to explain, but I fucked up.
00:52:18You have to get out of that restaurant. Now.
00:52:23Too late to run. My hubby's here.
00:52:26Leaving so soon, Miss Trudeau. Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
00:52:34Come on, Shelby. Pick up. Let me know you got out of there.
00:52:39Who the hell are you?
00:52:41Congressman. Neville LaRoche.
00:52:43I understand why your husband probably never mentioned me.
00:52:46Seems as how there's so much he hasn't told you.
00:52:49Please, sit down.
00:52:51Isabel was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived.
00:52:55No matter. We'll do this the less genteel way if we must.
00:53:02Both of these men are retired Navy SEALs.
00:53:05I've heard a lot about your fighting skills.
00:53:08So, I came prepared.
00:53:15What's this about?
00:53:17I spoke with your stepmother. I'll go.
00:53:20She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:23It seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bum on the streets.
00:53:28When actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:53:33I can't believe you fell for that.
00:53:36Not so smart now, are you, Shelby?
00:53:39You're lying.
00:53:41You are Roy's secret bride.
00:53:44A Roy's secret bride.
00:53:46A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:53:51When the press arrives,
00:53:53you will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana
00:53:57so that they may know what kind of man Roy really is.
00:54:10Hey, I got it.
00:54:14Let me go.
00:54:16Shelby, please.
00:54:18Why did you keep your marriage a secret?
00:54:20The voters have a right to know.
00:54:21What else are you hiding?
00:54:23You son of a bitch.
00:54:25I'm now Roy.
00:54:27Don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes.
00:54:40Shelby, Shelby, please, hear me out.
00:54:43Don't shell me.
00:54:46All of your charm, it's just a lie.
00:54:49I never meant to let it get this far.
00:54:52I planned on coming clean.
00:54:53More lies, Griffin Roy?
00:54:55I was going to tell you today.
00:54:57Convenient.
00:54:59Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start?
00:55:02Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
00:55:05That was always a possibility.
00:55:08Get away from my house.
00:55:10This is technically my home.
00:55:13God, how sitting my ass.
00:55:16You are the worst and I never want to see you again.
00:55:21Shelby.
00:55:28Congressional candidate Griffin Roy has a secret bride.
00:55:31Our reporter is...
00:55:40I've got to get a sip of that.
00:56:29This is private property.
00:56:31Which I own.
00:56:32Liar.
00:56:33Pierce Durand owns this building.
00:56:35He works for me.
00:56:37Then I'll move.
00:56:38I don't want to owe you anything.
00:56:53Oh Shelby, Shelby, come out would you please?
00:56:59I wake up in the morning and reach for you, but you're not there.
00:57:09I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
00:57:15Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:19You're ridiculous. You do know that, don't you?
00:57:23Oh Shelby, Shelby, don't leave me hanging.
00:57:27What are you doing? You're supposed to turn it on.
00:57:30Yeah, I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:34It's broken.
00:57:36It's broken. Guy totally scammed me.
00:57:39You are beyond ridiculous.
00:57:42Please Shelby, I didn't say what I wanted to before.
00:57:47Just give me a chance to explain.
00:57:52Fine. Come in you fool.
00:57:56I'll come in on my own. I'm out.
00:58:02You have two minutes.
00:58:07Phew.
00:58:10Growing up as a Roy, no one ever liked me for me.
00:58:17It's always been about the money, the excess.
00:58:23Then at a moment, three years ago, where someone did like me for me.
00:58:32They had no idea who I was.
00:58:35And I just remember how freeing it felt.
00:58:42So when I met you, and I felt that spark I've been searching for,
00:58:48I didn't think, I just fucking left.
00:58:53Why wait so long to tell me?
00:58:55I've never gone into enemy territory to cut off weapons supply routes.
00:59:02I boxed in prep school.
00:59:04Yeah, you got that right.
00:59:07But otherwise, I've always been more of a lover rather than a fighter.
00:59:13And I've done well as a lawyer, but I did not earn those billions.
00:59:19I inherited them from generations of dickheads.
00:59:27When you meet a girl, it's a total package.
00:59:30You just want to be her total package, too.
00:59:33You really are ridiculous.
00:59:36You know, I have laughed more with you in the past two weeks than I have in my entire life.
00:59:42I'm way too serious, Griffin.
00:59:44Sometimes I forget how to let go.
00:59:47But with you, every day is fun.
00:59:50So, does that mean you forgive me?
00:59:53I'm thinking about it.
00:59:57Yeah.
00:59:59You think too much.
01:00:01Time for make-up sex.
01:00:07So, that's make-up sex.
01:00:10Yeah.
01:00:14Griffin, it hurts so much thinking we were over.
01:00:19I never want to feel like that again.
01:00:22I promise not to let anything get in between us.
01:00:30This changes everything.
01:00:33Now, thanks for the heads up.
01:00:35I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried for as long as possible.
01:00:46Mom?
01:00:48I want to stay right here.
01:00:52Where the hell are you, Griff?
01:00:55This is DEF CON 1.
01:00:57Hey, man.
01:00:58Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:01Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:07Come on.
01:01:13How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:15We've known each other since college.
01:01:18How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:20We've known each other since college.
01:01:22What are you talking about?
01:01:23Didn't you get any of my texts or calls?
01:01:25I must have forgot to charge it.
01:01:28I had quite a night last night.
01:01:30Shelby and I made up.
01:01:32She's forgiven me.
01:01:33Well, she won't forgive you for this.
01:01:37You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy.
01:01:43Michelle Lane.
01:01:45I don't even know who that is.
01:01:47Well, you knew her well enough to marry her three years ago.
01:01:53This can't be right.
01:01:54I got it from a parish clerk.
01:01:56She's agreed to keep it hush-hush for now.
01:01:58The ceremony was conducted at a church.
01:02:00The priest signed and completed the marriage certificate.
01:02:04Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:02:09I now pronounce ye man and wife.
01:02:13The masked girl from Mardi Gras.
01:02:15I finally know her name.
01:02:18Michelle.
01:02:19Shit.
01:02:20That finally makes sense.
01:02:22Of course you wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist.
01:02:26Shelby.
01:02:27Fuck.
01:02:29What am I going to tell her?
01:02:30Look, it could still be one big mistake.
01:02:33I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:42I have something for you.
01:02:51I hacked into the parish database.
01:02:53Griffin Roy is legally married to both Michelle Lane and Shelby Trudeau.
01:02:58That's it. He's finished.
01:03:01Griffin Roy will be in jail for bigamy for cocktail hour.
01:03:06Michelle Lane is Shelby Trudeau.
01:03:09They're legally married to each other on two separate occasions.
01:03:12They just don't know it yet.
01:03:15That's insane.
01:03:16Check the date.
01:03:17They got married the first time during Mardi Gras.
01:03:20Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated.
01:03:23We could use that angle.
01:03:24Yeah, the romance is already trending.
01:03:27He made an idiot of himself with that boombox and voters.
01:03:31They're just eating it up.
01:03:34He's catching up in the polls.
01:03:37Now Roy unknowingly marries twice the girl he's been searching for since Mardi Gras.
01:03:43This will make them seem like some faded love story.
01:03:50This will make them seem like some faded love story.
01:03:55We got nothing on him.
01:03:57Honey, we've got everything we need.
01:04:00What they don't know can definitely hurt them.
01:04:03And right now, to Griffin Roy, Michelle Lane could be anybody.
01:04:11You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear.
01:04:14Who?
01:04:18Well, we have a very limited window to make this work.
01:04:23We will hit hard, but fast.
01:04:29What is she going to say when I tell her I'm married?
01:04:34All right, ladies, good job. That's it for tonight.
01:04:37Remember, this weekend's Mardi Gras.
01:04:39Have fun, but you know what to do if anybody messes with you.
01:04:43Nice work.
01:04:45Hi.
01:04:47Hungry?
01:04:51Yeah, so today's class went super well.
01:04:54Two new students. They really took up on a lot of things.
01:04:57You're everything I've ever wanted.
01:04:59Everything I didn't even dare to dream.
01:05:02You're it for me. I can't lose you.
01:05:05Griffin, are you okay?
01:05:09Yeah. Just some stuff for the campaign.
01:05:14I want to help. LaRoche can't win.
01:05:17He and Isabel are evil. You're the kind of man that people need.
01:05:21I can't imagine anyone else by my side.
01:05:24I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
01:05:26We will plan a siege that surrounds them from all sides.
01:05:31That sounds amazing, Shell.
01:05:40Father?
01:05:44I remember the two of you.
01:05:46You had it, lad. That special spark.
01:05:49I don't see it often in couples, but when I do, it makes an impression.
01:05:54You must be mistaken. This woman and I, we'd met that day.
01:05:58And you were already finishing each other's sentences, dying to tie the knot.
01:06:02There was no stopping you.
01:06:04I was drunk.
01:06:05Drunk with love. The man I married knew what he was doing.
01:06:09I mean, how is this even legal?
01:06:11New Orleans has a 24-hour waiting period.
01:06:13Unless the judge waives it.
01:06:15Son of a bitch. Who was it?
01:06:17He was your best man. You called him Remy.
01:06:21Remy Cal, that bastard.
01:06:25No wonder he always had that stupid smirk on his face whenever I stood before him in court.
01:06:30Fuck.
01:06:32Fuck.
01:06:36I don't care. I don't care.
01:06:38We need to annul the marriage now. I love my wife.
01:06:41You're in a bit of a pickle.
01:06:43Because in my book, you love Joe the wife as well.
01:06:48Sir.
01:06:50Mrs. Rose in your office with Mr. Durand.
01:06:53Shelby.
01:06:58Griffin, this is the woman you've been looking for.
01:07:00This is Michelle Lane.
01:07:04Hi, Griffin.
01:07:05You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:09So you've been an escort for seven years.
01:07:11That's right. Since high school.
01:07:13And that really is your toddler?
01:07:15My baby girl Fleur. She has no daddy. This will be good for her.
01:07:23If I may ask, how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:26That is the least of your worries.
01:07:29All right. Chop, chop.
01:07:32Now, action.
01:07:35Hi, Griffin.
01:07:37You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:41It was Mardi Gras.
01:07:43We were completely wasted, and we ended up in some church with an Irish priest.
01:07:48We had a wild night at the hotel.
01:07:50We had a lot of fun.
01:07:52We had a lot of fun.
01:07:54We had a lot of fun.
01:07:56We had a lot of fun.
01:07:59We had a wild night at the hotel.
01:08:01And well, Fleur was the happy accident nine months later.
01:08:09It can't be true.
01:08:11I've never met you in my life.
01:08:13I mean, you were wearing masks.
01:08:15Yes, that's right. We were.
01:08:17By the time I found out I was pregnant, two months had passed.
01:08:20I've been trying to find you ever since,
01:08:22but it wasn't until I saw one of your ads for Congress that I recognized your voice.
01:08:26It was a miracle.
01:08:28It's too much. She's losing him.
01:08:31Tone it down. Tone it down.
01:08:36Listen, lady, I don't know who you're trying to con with this ad.
01:08:39Griffin, don't.
01:08:41But there is no way in hell that I'm married to you.
01:08:45What's going on, Griffin?
01:08:49Is this woman really your wife?
01:08:52No, she's not.
01:08:54We don't know.
01:08:56Which is it?
01:08:58You are my wife. Only you.
01:09:02I understand this is a lot to take in.
01:09:04Fleur and I will just go.
01:09:06I'll have my lawyer reach out.
01:09:08No. No lawyers.
01:09:10We don't need to involve any authorities.
01:09:12This can all be solved with a simple DNA test.
01:09:16Pierce, this woman is a fraud.
01:09:19Griffin, think about it.
01:09:21She says Fleur is your daughter.
01:09:23One little test and that'll prove if she's lying or not.
01:09:26We need to know, Griffin.
01:09:28I need to know.
01:09:30Fine.
01:09:32But I don't want these doubts to fester.
01:09:34We can rush the DNA results and get them back in a few hours.
01:09:37Might I suggest a more private setting?
01:09:39Less ice.
01:09:41Understood.
01:09:43We can wait back at my house for the results to come.
01:09:50We've got him.
01:09:52You're up.
01:10:08Hi.
01:10:19Hi.
01:10:25Cute kid.
01:10:27Don't.
01:10:29Just don't.
01:10:31Shelby go upstairs.
01:10:33She fed them snacks and then locked herself in the guest room.
01:10:39I can't lose her, Pierce.
01:10:43I won't.
01:10:50Moment of truth, buddy.
01:11:12Fleur, meet your daddy.
01:11:15I will, of course.
01:11:17I will, of course, provide for you both financially.
01:11:23Fleur doesn't need a checkbook. She needs a father.
01:11:42What do you want?
01:11:44The guest bedroom is empty.
01:11:46You and Fleur can stay there.
01:11:50Shelby.
01:11:52Just don't do this.
01:11:55Just give me some time.
01:11:57I can fix it.
01:11:59This isn't something you fix.
01:12:01You can't be legally married to two women at the same time and you have a child with one of them.
01:12:08We need to get a divorce.
01:12:13She's right, Griff.
01:12:15Griff, you have a daughter now.
01:12:17You're a father and you have to put your child first.
01:12:21I can't be Margot.
01:12:23I won't do that to another little girl.
01:12:27I've spent my whole life looking for you.
01:12:33How can I let you go?
01:12:38Sometimes love isn't enough.
01:12:45How'd you know Shelby would leave him because of the kid?
01:12:47Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people.
01:12:50It's not in her nature to put herself first.
01:12:52Oh, you're a scary woman.
01:12:55I know.
01:13:00Hi, um, can I get your name?
01:13:02I'm Shelby Trudeau.
01:13:03We've been expecting you.
01:13:05So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered?
01:13:35Hi.
01:14:05That's strange. I thought I heard something.
01:14:36It's like she was never here.
01:14:51Hey, mister.
01:14:53Will you marry me?
01:14:56She took everything but left this behind.
01:14:59Message received, Shelby.
01:15:02What the hell is this?
01:15:05I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain,
01:15:08but if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
01:15:12This place is insane.
01:15:14The owner must really trust you.
01:15:19I'm sorry.
01:15:20I'm sorry.
01:15:21I'm sorry.
01:15:22I'm sorry.
01:15:23I'm sorry.
01:15:24I'm sorry.
01:15:25I'm sorry.
01:15:26I'm sorry.
01:15:27I'm sorry.
01:15:28I'm sorry.
01:15:29I'm sorry.
01:15:31Could it be?
01:15:45It's her.
01:15:46It's always been her.
01:15:50Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:52Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:54As soon as you saw the forged DNA test, it was a done deal.
01:15:57Who is she working for?
01:15:59How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby?
01:16:03Give me a name. Come on, just one name.
01:16:05Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close.
01:16:08I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead.
01:16:12Where is Shelby?
01:16:14Where is my wife?
01:16:16Where is Isabelle taking me?
01:16:17I don't know what you're talking about.
01:16:19I will have you put away for the rest of your life
01:16:21and your daughter will grow up in a fucking orphanage.
01:16:25I don't know where she is.
01:16:26If I knew, I'd tell you, I swear.
01:16:29I swear.
01:16:42What is wrong with me?
01:16:47Help!
01:16:49Somebody help!
01:16:52Do you need some water?
01:16:54Oh wait, I see you've already had some.
01:16:57You poisoned me?
01:16:59Why?
01:17:01Why? Why?
01:17:04Where to begin?
01:17:07Lingering high school issues, offs.
01:17:10I'm helping Neville's campaign, duh.
01:17:13But the real reason, the one that cuts deep,
01:17:16is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist.
01:17:20By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice,
01:17:24he'll have gone missing, vanished without a trace.
01:17:29He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:17:32Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body,
01:17:36suspicion will follow Griffin for the rest of his life.
01:17:39Any political future he may have had will be as dead as you.
01:17:43Net?
01:17:45Back up.
01:17:47Married? Twice?
01:17:50Who's the...
01:17:53the woman in the little girl?
01:17:55Oh, just some cheap whore I hired to tell your husband
01:17:58that they've been married for the past three years.
01:18:01When really, it's been you all along.
01:18:05You've been searching for each other all this time,
01:18:08but now he'll never find you.
01:18:12Alright boys, she's all yours.
01:18:20I told you I'd get you back.
01:18:28Miss Tudor, why are you here?
01:18:30My daughter, my baby Cece.
01:18:33I'm scared she's gonna do something terrible.
01:18:36What do you mean, terrible? What's going on?
01:18:38I sold everything to get her out on bail and you...
01:18:43What does she do in return?
01:18:45She's gone crazy.
01:18:47Stuck in Shelby.
01:18:48She tailed her to some hotel in the French Quarter.
01:18:54What hotel?
01:18:56Excuse me sir, my sister's staying here,
01:18:59but I've forgotten her room number.
01:19:01Is Shelby Trudeau?
01:19:02Sorry ma'am, we can't disclose any guest information.
01:19:12Shelby!
01:19:16Come out, come out, wherever you are!
01:19:27I think I'll do it with my bare hands.
01:19:30Makes it more personal.
01:19:33Actually, do me a favor,
01:19:35leave a lot of marks on that vase of hers.
01:19:39Fuck you.
01:19:40I want people to see that she suffered, a lot.
01:19:43Oh trust me, she will.
01:19:46Come on, let's get this party started.
01:19:57Look what you've done!
01:20:02Pansy-ass slap.
01:20:05She's stalling, and you're falling for it.
01:20:08Damn, can't go to the valet smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:12I'll never give you your car keys.
01:20:14Shelby has clothes over there.
01:20:16James.
01:20:18I'll take care of me.
01:20:19You go to the hotel.
01:20:21Shelby has clothes over there.
01:20:23James.
01:20:24I'll take care of me.
01:20:26You go take care of her.
01:20:34Now the clip.
01:20:35Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Blaine.
01:20:38It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request.
01:20:41She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago.
01:20:48Starting to make sense now.
01:20:50It was harder on my mom.
01:20:52She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too.
01:20:55Even started using my mom's maiden name.
01:20:58She's the one you've been looking for.
01:21:00It's been her all this time.
01:21:02How could I be so blind?
01:21:04Of course it had to be Shelby, it had to be her.
01:21:07My heart knew what my brain couldn't see.
01:21:11I got it.
01:21:12Your girl's in room 801.
01:21:15Thanks man.
01:21:17Now I can go save the love of my life.
01:21:21F**k.
01:21:25Too much to drink.
01:21:34Stop right there.
01:21:40Not so fast.
01:21:44Riff and f**king Roy.
01:21:46Finally joined the party.
01:21:48I'm here for my wife.
01:21:50Not gonna happen, brah.
01:21:52What you've done here is aggravated assault.
01:21:55But if you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping.
01:21:58That is a federal crime.
01:22:00Don't bring in the FBI.
01:22:03Someone will have to be around to identify us.
01:22:05That sure as hell won't be you.
01:22:09Did you get all that, Pierce?
01:22:11Police are on their way.
01:22:12Hang in there, buddy.
01:22:15You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:22:18You're not getting out of here alive.
01:22:36Give me my wife back now!
01:22:48Ah.
01:22:54Show me.
01:22:55You alright?
01:23:19Ah.
01:23:31Griff, my god.
01:23:32Do you need medical attention?
01:23:34No.
01:23:35But they do.
01:23:45I guess I renewed my man card.
01:23:47Sure did, honey.
01:23:48F**ked him up real good.
01:23:52Oh, lord.
01:23:53Please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:24:05Shelby!
01:24:06You little bitch!
01:24:08Didn't I say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:24:12What?
01:24:14That's not...
01:24:15Shelby!
01:24:17Put your hands up or I can see them.
01:24:24This is the last one.
01:24:25Hey, hey, hey.
01:24:26I want to make a deal.
01:24:27What do you have to offer up?
01:24:29Congressman Neville LaRoche.
01:24:31I'm all ears.
01:24:39Is it really over?
01:24:41Yeah, it is.
01:24:43Griffin, Isabelle said something, and I want to believe it, but...
01:24:48Three years ago, did we...
01:24:53You left us.
01:25:01It's true.
01:25:04I can't believe I finally found you.
01:25:07I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met.
01:25:11Why'd you never come back?
01:25:30It's called a walk of shame, not a laugh of it.
01:25:33Mind your own business, Susie.
01:25:35Look at you, Shelby.
01:25:37One Mardi Gras hookup and you think you found happily ever after.
01:25:41That's not how life works.
01:25:43Sure, he may have liked you with the mask on, but he's not going to want you with it off.
01:25:49Look, you both have a great memory now.
01:25:51But you'll look back and you'll see that you're just the clueless chick who didn't know the score.
01:25:58You'll embarrass yourself.
01:26:00And more importantly, you'll embarrass him.
01:26:02What?
01:26:06I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:26:09I'm sorry I let her get to me.
01:26:12But to be honest, what we had seemed too good to be true.
01:26:15How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:26:20Exactly.
01:26:24But I did.
01:26:26And I do.
01:26:28Where do we go from here?
01:26:30Married twice.
01:26:31Deeply in love.
01:26:32Risked our lives to save each other.
01:26:35I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:26:40Shelby, will you...
01:26:42Yes, Griffin Roy.
01:26:48I will always love you.
01:26:50In this life or the next.
01:26:59I'm yours.
