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.
00:00:14I'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 with you, every day is fun.
00:00:39Actually, I'm sorry.
00:00:40I'm sorry.
00:00:41I'm sorry.
00:00:42I'm sorry.
00:00:43I'm sorry.
00:00:44I'm sorry.
00:00:45I'm sorry.
00:00:46I'm sorry.
00:00:47I'm sorry.
00:00:48I'm sorry.
00:00:49I'm sorry.
00:00:50I'm sorry.
00:00:51I'm sorry.
00:00:52I'm sorry.
00:00:55I'm sorry.
00:00:56I'm sorry.
00:00:57I'm sorry.
00:00:58I'm sorry.
00:00:59I'm sorry.
00:01:00I'm sorry.
00:01:01I'm sorry.
00:01:02I'm sorry.
00:01:03I'm sorry.
00:01:04I'm sorry.
00:01:05I'm sorry.
00:01:06I'm sorry.
00:01:07I'm sorry.
00:01:08I'm sorry.
00:01:09I'm sorry.
00:01:10I'm sorry.
00:01:11I'm sorry.
00:01:12I'm sorry.
00:01:13I'm sorry.
00:01:14I'm sorry.
00:01:15I'm sorry.
00:01:16I'm sorry.
00:01:17I'm sorry.
00:01:18I'm sorry.
00:01:19I'm sorry.
00:01:20I'm sorry.
00:01:21I'm sorry.
00:01:22I'm sorry.
00:01:23I'm sorry.
00:01:24I'm sorry.
00:01:25I'm sorry.
00:01:26I'm sorry.
00:01:35I'm bored.
00:01:37According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter,
00:01:42miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married by five o'clock today
00:01:46or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:49That un-ladylike 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 she'll.
00:01:57That's the way we get everything.
00:01:59I'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, Cece.
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, Cece.
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 else
00:02:58is 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 is yours,
00:03:18only if signed by both you and your spouse.
00:03:24Woo!
00:03:25That means you got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:28Tick tock.
00:03:28Ha ha.
00:03:29Ha ha.
00:03:40Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:03:42Give up your inheritance, and I'll give you
00:03:451% of better than nothing.
00:03:49You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:03:50You 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.
00:04:19Don't.
00:04:20Keep the mystery.
00:04:24You've already lost, Shelby.
00:04:26Take the 1% I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:04:29Right.
00:04:31You're not even going to find a bum on the street
00:04:32to marry you in time.
00:04:36Watch me.
00:04:40Watch me.
00:04:48Watch me.
00:04:59Don't worry.
00:05:06He looks single.
00:05:09Oh my god, this is totally FUBAR.
00:05:12Suck it up, soldier.
00:05:13You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:05:18Will you marry me, sir?
00:05:22Will you marry me?
00:05:32I know this sounds crazy, and there's no time to explain.
00:05:35But if you help me, I promise a generous reward
00:05:38once I get my inheritance.
00:05:39Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:42So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:05:44Do I look like a homeless person there?
00:05:46Priceless.
00:05:48Would you unsign?
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, let's get married.
00:06:41Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:43Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:46And your name is?
00:06:49Griffin Roy.
00:07:10And congratulations, you lovebirds.
00:07:16This isn't over.
00:07:18Tell her.
00:07:25Sergeant Trudeau, Mrs. Roy, you have
00:07:28to stay married for at least one full year,
00:07:32or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.
00:07:36You hear that, Shelby?
00:07:37You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:40Ha!
00:07:40Ha!
00:07:41Ha!
00:07:41Ha!
00:07:42Ha!
00:07:43Ha!
00:07:43Ha!
00:07:44Ha!
00:07:44Ha!
00:07:45Ha!
00:07:45Ha!
00:07:46Ha!
00:07:46Ha!
00:07:47Ha!
00:07:47Ha!
00:07:48Ha!
00:07:48Ha!
00:07:49Ha!
00:07:49Ha!
00:07:50Come on.
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,
00:08:05we 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.
00:08:12I'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?
00:08:46La La La La La La La.
00:08:49La La La La La La.
00:08:51La La La La La La.
00:08:55La La La La La La La.
00:09:12Gotcha.
00:09:13Seriously, this is over the top even for you.
00:09:15I'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.
00:09:41In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women
00:09:45who want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:09:47Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you 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 gotta run.
00:10:04But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
00:10:07Someone real.
00:10:09Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:10:15I'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
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.
00:10:36That's class.
00:10:38Nice work.
00:10:39So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:10:47I tried to call him, but Mr.
00:10:49Chlamydia 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 and confront
00:11:00me in person.
00:11:02What's holding you back?
00:11:03Andre's some 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.
00:11:11We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:32What's your name?
00:11:33I'm Stephanie.
00:11:35How about a drink?
00:11:36Oh, that's okay.
00:11:37Come on.
00:11:38One little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:40Okay, one drink.
00:11:41Really Pierce?
00:11:42This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:11:46You want to beat LaRoche?
00:11:47You got to mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:11:56I can't believe I slept with that.
00:11:59What 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.
00:12:14Thanks.
00:12:15That creep.
00:12:18You dickless loser.
00:12:27Drugging girls to get laid.
00:12:29What the fuck?
00:12:30Get out of my house skank.
00:12:33I'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.
00:12:41Unless you're back for more.
00:12:42I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:12:44You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:12:47I just told you that you have chlamydia and you...
00:12:50Oh my God.
00:12:51You already know you have it.
00:12:54And you don't care.
00:12:56Ladies.
00:12:58Andre Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
00:13:03What is she doing here?
00:13:05Both of you, get out of here.
00:13:11Oh shit.
00:13:12She can't know who I am yet.
00:13:19Do you know who I am?
00:13:20I don't care.
00:13:25Dad.
00:13:27Where did she come from?
00:13:28That's my wife.
00:13:29She's not my wife.
00:13:31Where did she come from?
00:13:32That's my wife.
00:13:33Isn't she amazing?
00:13:34And she's gonna cost you Andre once he finds 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.
00:13:57Did you see that combo?
00:13:58Dude, she can fight.
00:13:59Look at her form, man.
00:14:01Fuck!
00:14:05Dude, she can really fight, man.
00:14:07You are hopeless.
00:14:09Hey.
00:14:10Swap me jackets.
00:14:11I'll give you my Rolex.
00:14:31Fuck you, Roy.
00:14:32I'll do everything I can to end you.
00:14:35We should get out of here.
00:14:36Yeah, yeah.
00:14:37Come on.
00:14:41Get him!
00:14:44You lied to me.
00:14:45You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:46Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
00:14:48You were next to a dumpster.
00:14:50That's not much of a leap.
00:14:52What were you doing at this party?
00:14:54Working the room.
00:14:55Oh.
00:14:55I thought you were going to tell me.
00:14:56I'm not going to tell you.
00:14:58I'm not going to tell you.
00:14:59I'm not going to tell you.
00:15:00I thought you were one of those
00:15:01asshole rich guys.
00:15:04I'm sorry.
00:15:04I 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.
00:15:17A wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:15:20I'm one lucky man.
00:15:22Don't push it.
00:15:31Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:37This is nice.
00:15:38I haven't had a home-cooked meal
00:15:41in a long time.
00:15:42It'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.
00:15:47I joined right after high school.
00:15:48My mom had just died and I was feeling
00:15:51rudderless.
00:15:52You weren't
00:15:53close with your father?
00:15:55I was.
00:15:56He was my hero.
00:15:57Until he wasn't.
00:16:00He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:16:02He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
00:16:05It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:16:07That must have been
00:16:09really hard for you.
00:16:10It was harder on my mom.
00:16:12She didn't want anything to do with him, so
00:16:13I cut him off too.
00:16:14Even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:16:16But then three years ago he reached out,
00:16:18told me he was sick,
00:16:19so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:16:22Here I am.
00:16:23Here you are.
00:16:25Here I am.
00:16:26Here you are.
00:16:28Enough about me.
00:16:30What's your story, Gryffinroy?
00:16:33Oh.
00:16:35Shelby Trudeau, come on out now!
00:16:37We 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.
00:16:53Oh.
00:16:54I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling, but
00:16:56it's just you two.
00:16:57And you are?
00:16:59That's a homeless guy that Shelby married.
00:17:01What are you doing here?
00:17:03Why wouldn't Gryffin be here?
00:17:04He's my husband, after all.
00:17:07Mama, what are we gonna do?
00:17:08We need to challenge the will, but how can we do that
00:17:10if they're still together?
00:17:11Shut up, Cece!
00:17:12Oh.
00:17:13I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:17:16How pathetic.
00:17:17And pointless.
00:17:19Look how in love we are.
00:17:21I look back.
00:17:23Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:17:27Right.
00:17:28We're gonna shred that will and your shame of marriage in no time.
00:17:41Margot and Cece are gonna 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 wanna live here?
00:17:50Uh, no.
00:17:51Somewhere with better security.
00:17:54Like my place.
00:17:56Sure.
00:17:58I'm dying to see where you live.
00:18:05So let me get this straight.
00:18:06You told her you're house-sitting?
00:18:08That's right.
00:18:09Said I was gonna watch the house
00:18:11while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:18:13You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:16Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:22I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.
00:18:25That's very flattering, but you don't know anything about me.
00:18:28I know you take my breath away.
00:18:30And I know that I would wonder, for the rest of my life,
00:18:33if I didn't take this chance.
00:18:35Even if it was only for one night.
00:18:37Maybe it's better this way.
00:18:40No names, no past.
00:18:43We can just be ourselves.
00:18:44I'd like that very much.
00:18:48The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
00:18:51She liked me for me.
00:18:53And I want that again, Pierce.
00:18:55Even for a little while.
00:19:05Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.
00:19:08Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:19:10A lot of people know who you are.
00:19:13How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:19:15I don't know.
00:19:17But I have a chance to be with someone
00:19:18without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
00:19:21Well, just remember,
00:19:23we're about to launch a multi-platform campaign.
00:19:26In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboards,
00:19:30your face is about to be everywhere.
00:19:32Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.
00:19:49This place is insane.
00:19:51The owner must really trust you.
00:19:53Yep, we're pretty tight.
00:19:57Here, let me show you to your room.
00:20:05I can't keep living in the past.
00:20:08Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:20:19Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:20:27I take it things are going well with Xena Warrior Princess.
00:20:30Oh, she's so exciting and competitive.
00:20:33Keeps me on my toes.
00:20:35Oh, and so damn beautiful.
00:20:37Face sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
00:20:39When do I get to meet her?
00:20:41Her military background and work with actress women
00:20:43will be a real asset for both female and male voters.
00:20:45Dial it back, Pierce.
00:20:47We're in the early stages.
00:20:49All right, well, don't take too long.
00:20:51You married her for the campaign.
00:20:53And it's not like she can dump you once she finds out.
00:20:56She needs you for her inheritance.
00:21:06Gun!
00:21:08Gun!
00:21:15Hey.
00:21:17I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:21:19Oh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:21Get your mind out of the gutter, woman.
00:21:23I'm talking food here.
00:21:25All right, in that case, surprise me.
00:21:27Trust me, I'm full of surprises.
00:21:30I bet you are.
00:21:38Gotcha, sis.
00:21:41So this is where you've been hiding out.
00:21:54Did you want some of my wine?
00:22:07No.
00:22:24I turned off your alarm.
00:22:26You obviously needed to sleep.
00:22:28We can run tonight.
00:22:30P.S. You snore, but it's super cute.
00:22:33I do not snore, Griffin Roy.
00:22:38What are you doing in a place like this?
00:22:41I live here.
00:22:43When did you move in?
00:22:45Last week. We're house-sitting.
00:22:47Yeah, I have heard that one before.
00:22:49Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.
00:22:51Thieves are always trying to break in.
00:22:53Who are you calling a thief?
00:22:55I'm not a thief.
00:22:57I'm just trying to help you.
00:22:59I'm not a thief.
00:23:01I'm not a thief.
00:23:03I'm not a thief.
00:23:05I'm not a thief.
00:23:07Please step out. Now!
00:23:10What the hell are you doing?
00:23:13Just 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.
00:23:35Cool. I thought I was saving you.
00:23:38But it looks like you got it.
00:23:40Oh, look out!
00:23:44Damn, lady.
00:23:46You make it look easy.
00:23:48Are you hurt?
00:23:50Just my pride.
00:23:53Looks like you get a flat.
00:23:55Let's get out of here. We can take my car.
00:23:58This is yours?
00:24:00Borrowed it from a friend.
00:24:02Right.
00:24:06I know all the guards who work here,
00:24:08and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:10Who 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.
00:24:20You'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!
00:24:37You pushed me to hire those thugs to humiliate Shelby,
00:24:39and now my money's wasted and she got off scot-free!
00:24:42Eyes on the prize, Cece.
00:24:44Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate,
00:24:46this'll be pocket change.
00:24:48Yeah. And who would have thought that bum
00:24:50would have got the police involved in all this mess?
00:24:52I don't believe he's a bum.
00:24:54I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?
00:24:56No matter whether he's a tramp or not,
00:24:59he 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.
00:25:09Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox the port-a-potty billionaire
00:25:13looking for a new gigolo?
00:25:15That old cougar?
00:25:17Oh, Cece, honey, when they're that age,
00:25:19they're not cougars.
00:25:21They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:26Well, then we just gotta make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25:31You really should have iced these right away.
00:25:34I realize that now.
00:25:36I've only ever sparred with gloves on,
00:25:39never thrown a bare-knuckle punch before.
00:25:43What?
00:25:45Did I just hand in my man card?
00:25:47No, you knocked a guy out with one punch.
00:25:49Your man card is fully intact.
00:25:52You just sounded like a prep-school rich boy for a second.
00:25:55I'm sorry.
00:25:59Not just for today, but for everything.
00:26:02It's been really lonely since my dad died,
00:26:05and it's nice having someone on my side.
00:26:08There's no need to thank me.
00:26:10I am your husband.
00:26:13Close your eyes.
00:26:21I'm sorry.
00:26:24Okay.
00:26:27Fair is fair.
00:26:29I owe you one.
00:26:54Sorry.
00:26:56I know we're just pretending.
00:26:59Right.
00:27:01Pretending.
00:27:05I'm gonna...
00:27:07I'm gonna go for a run.
00:27:10Okay, I'll come with...
00:27:16What if it's just me?
00:27:18Wouldn't that be ironic?
00:27:19The first woman I'm into for so long is not into me.
00:27:22Fuck!
00:27:23Fuck!
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?
00:27:54I don't know. He looks like a wet street dog.
00:27:58I'll shower and a haircut, and he'll be marginally presentable.
00:28:02Hey! You!
00:28:08We got a proposition for you.
00:28:11How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?
00:28:14Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
00:28:16Get in.
00:28:24Are you sure he's not homeless?
00:28:26He eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:28So you want me to divorce Shelby
00:28:31and marry Victoria Wilcox, the shithouse billionaire?
00:28:40You will refer to them as porta-potties, young man.
00:28:44We know you're after Shelby.
00:28:47I'm not.
00:28:49I'm not.
00:28:51I'm not.
00:28:52We know you're after Shelby's inheritance,
00:28:55but 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.
00:29:11Have we met before? Because you look real familiar.
00:29:15No.
00:29:16Nope. I don't think I run in your kinds of circles, Ms. Wilcox.
00:29:20The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:26The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:30And you will also be paid $20,000 a month to provide
00:29:34intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:29:37Hmm.
00:29:39Oh, you don't need to worry, boy.
00:29:41Because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:45Hmm. Hmm.
00:29:46Ha ha ha ha.
00:29:58I don't understand. This says...
00:30:01You're under arrest for pandering.
00:30:04Detective 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 $20,000 a month to provide
00:30:20intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:30:25Detective.
00:30:27Detective. Detective.
00:30:29There must be some misunderstanding.
00:30:31There's no nonsense going on here.
00:30:33No, you can't arrest me on the word of that bum.
00:30:35He set me up.
00:30:37Detective McSwain, it's getting late.
00:30:40I'd like to go home and see my wife.
00:30:43Ah! Ah! Ah!
00:30:47Wait.
00:30:49You 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.
00:31:03It's Roy.
00:31:06Oh, well.
00:31:09I knew you looked familiar, you see.
00:31:11I'm just an old woman.
00:31:13You could forgive me.
00:31:15Get out of my face.
00:31:18Pardon me.
00:31:20Excuse me.
00:31:22All right, we got her in the car.
00:31:25How far do you want this to go?
00:31:27Put the fear of God in there.
00:31:29Mug shot, fingerprints, thorax.
00:31:32Then in the morning, drop the charges.
00:31:33Before the press gets wind.
00:31:36Here, sir, to have your hide.
00:31:38You got it, Griff.
00:31:49Where have you been?
00:31:52I was worried you were gone so long.
00:31:54Yeah?
00:31:55Yeah.
00:31:57Uh, are you hungry?
00:31:59I can heat up some leftovers.
00:32:01Yeah.
00:32:03Yeah, I'd like that.
00:32:07Did that just happen?
00:32:09Maybe I have a shot with her after all.
00:32:22Oh, baby, my little girl.
00:32:25I will never forget the humiliation that man has caused us.
00:32:29Don't you worry, Mama.
00:32:31I 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.
00:32:43And I know just where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:49Amazing. Amazing.
00:33:02I think we shaved 30 seconds off that time.
00:33:05I thought I was competitive.
00:33:07You even compete with yourself.
00:33:19You're not growing.
00:33:20You're dying.
00:33:22I, um...
00:33:24I'm gonna go shower.
00:33:26Me too.
00:33:29Me too.
00:33:33Get a grip, Shelby.
00:33:35Zoe's hot.
00:33:37You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
00:33:40What makes him any different?
00:33:42He just is.
00:33:47Hey, Zara.
00:33:49Shelby, you have to get here right away.
00:33:51Buford's kicking us out the gym.
00:33:58I'm sorry, my hands are tied.
00:34:01He says we have to leave.
00:34:03Okay, I got this.
00:34:05Mr. Buford, what are you doing?
00:34:07This is my place of business.
00:34:08You're done here.
00:34:10I sold the building. The new owners want you out.
00:34:12That's illegal. I have a lease.
00:34:14They've got a break clause for new management,
00:34:17and they've decided to activate it.
00:34:19Who the hell is they?
00:34:25That 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,
00:34:36but 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,
00:34:45and then you can keep your dinky, smelly gym.
00:34:50I bet you want to hit me so bad.
00:34:52Not so tough now, are you, Shelby?
00:34:54Screw you.
00:34:56I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:34:58Oops, sorry. The building is now closed for...
00:35:02renovations.
00:35:03And everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:07Of course, you could sue,
00:35:09but that would take months.
00:35:12Wait.
00:35:13Wait.
00:35:15Wait.
00:35:16Wait.
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,
00:35:27and then you lose everything.
00:35:31Think about what you're doing.
00:35:33This gym is a lifeline for so many women.
00:35:36I won't let you take it from them.
00:35:38You can beg, but I won't budge.
00:35:42Be a smart girl and sign the papers by tomorrow,
00:35:45or you can kiss your Valkyrie Fight Club goodbye.
00:35:49And watch us turn it into...
00:35:52Valkyrie Strip Club!
00:35:54Isn't that a good idea?
00:35:56There's poles and everything.
00:35:58Plenty of girls.
00:36:00They're cute.
00:36:01They are cute.
00:36:03Cute enough.
00:36:12I'm not here because I give a damn if you win.
00:36:14I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy doesn't.
00:36:17Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:36:21The fuck you say?
00:36:23What exactly did Roy do to earn your loathing?
00:36:27He partnered up against me with a She-Warrior.
00:36:31I want to see them both destroyed.
00:36:34Well, with your connections and my political might,
00:36:37I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:50LaRose got Andre.
00:36:51What are we going to do about this?
00:36:54Nothing.
00:36:55We do not want these two pairing up, alright?
00:36:57This is political suicide.
00:36:59Just talk to Shelby.
00:37:01Maybe if you both apologize...
00:37:02Um, hell no.
00:37:04Let them do their best.
00:37:05Mark my words, this is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
00:37:14Hello, Shelby.
00:37:16Griffin.
00:37:17We need to talk.
00:37:25Shelby?
00:37:26What's going on?
00:37:28You 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.
00:37:40I don't want you to be another moment that I miss.
00:37:45I love you.
00:37:54You first.
00:38:14You first.
00:38:19You first.
00:38:44You first.
00:39:03That was...
00:39:04Fucking amazing.
00:39:15Griffin?
00:39:16Where are you going?
00:39:18Griffin?
00:39:20Griffin!
00:39:23Explain yourself.
00:39:25Toothbrush.
00:39:28PJs.
00:39:30This is Jacques.
00:39:32Why?
00:39:34You're my wife.
00:39:35I sleep with you now.
00:39:37We probably should have talked this through.
00:39:39Yeah.
00:39:41You said you had missed moments.
00:39:43Missed 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?
00:40:13I love you.
00:40:15I love you.
00:40:17I love you.
00:40:19I love you.
00:40:21I love you.
00:40:23I love you.
00:40:44I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:40:49Que sera la prochaine fois, n'est-ce pas?
00:41:07Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour.
00:41:09We can go over the divorce papers.
00:41:14Okay.
00:41:16Goodbye, my husband.
00:41:26I knew something must have happened.
00:41:34Hello.
00:41:35Pierce.
00:41:37I need you to use all your connections to find out what Cece and Margot Trudeau did to Shelby yesterday.
00:41:44Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.
00:41:48It's five in the morning.
00:41:49You have an hour.
00:41:56How did Cece get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?
00:42:00She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral.
00:42:03Stupid.
00:42:05Good for us, bad for them.
00:42:06And the property title?
00:42:08Still in escrow. The title hasn't been transferred yet.
00:42:11Make sure it is.
00:42:13In your name.
00:42:14You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive.
00:42:17Oh, goody, goody.
00:42:24Talk to me, McSwain.
00:42:25I showed the fake guards in lockup Cece Trudeau's mugshot.
00:42:28You're right. She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife.
00:42:32How'd you know?
00:42:33Had her M.O. written all over it.
00:42:35I take it the kid gloves are off this time?
00:42:37Oh yeah. Cece Trudeau thinks she's untouchable.
00:42:40Let's show her just how wrong she is.
00:42:43Let's go.
00:42:51I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
00:42:53I definitely have.
00:42:56Showtime.
00:42:58I'm your campaign manager, not some hired muscle.
00:43:02Here's what I think about your agreement.
00:43:07Did you see that?
00:43:08Did you see that? She chose me, man.
00:43:10She chose me.
00:43:11Well, hell, looks like she did.
00:43:14You fucking bitch!
00:43:17That's her cue.
00:43:22Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby. You're gonna lose everything.
00:43:26You know, at least I still have my self-respect, which is more than I can say for you.
00:43:30Don't be hasty, Cece. She's basically a man. You'll get hurt.
00:43:34I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine, but I will never agree to your demands.
00:43:40Reclaim what's yours? You'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.
00:43:52Who the hell are you?
00:43:54Pierce Durand, the new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.
00:44:02Your deal fell out of escrow. I 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. The building is mine. Now scram.
00:44:19I'm Emma.
00:44:21Ms. 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.
00:44:34Thank you, Mr. Durand. The 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.
00:44:53Okay, 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.
00:45:00No, 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.
00:45:08You're mine.
00:45:16Zara, call everyone.
00:45:20Valkyrie 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. I 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?
00:45:58Tell Shelby who you are.
00:46:00The 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 who's she screwing?
00:46:37Duran or Roy?
00:46:39I don't know, sir.
00:46:41That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
00:46:44Those stuck-up twats kept going on and on about their precious lineages dating back to the Mayflower.
00:46:54Not everyone's my trash like you, Isabel.
00:46:59It is a wonder how you overcame your low-class origins and gained my interest.
00:47:07That wasn't your interest, darling. That was your cock.
00:47:10Touche, 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?
00:47:28Per 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.
00:47:40You mean your new bestie, Isabel?
00:47:42Baby, no.
00:47:49It's cooling off.
00:47:51We should go inside.
00:47:53Just a few more minutes.
00:47:54I can't remember the last time I let myself just be.
00:48:00Yeah.
00:48:02I think it was when my parents were still together.
00:48:04Before the divorce, the cheating, mom getting sick.
00:48:09I was carefree then.
00:48:11I joined the army after, but that was just another rollercoaster.
00:48:15It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory cutting off weapon supply routes.
00:48:21I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:48:25It's not the place, it's the person.
00:48:28I feel like I've known you forever.
00:48:35Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:48:45I guess I can wait one more day.
00:48:47I guess I can wait one more day.
00:48:55Our most sought after place in Valkyrie is our women's self-induced kickboxing.
00:49:02Sign me up.
00:49:05Oh shit, Isabel.
00:49:07The girl who made my life and everyone else's a living hell in high school.
00:49:11What sneaky BS is she up to?
00:49:13Oh my gosh, Michelle, is it you?
00:49:16I go by Shelby now.
00:49:18You look amazing.
00:49:20Michelle, Shelby, and I go way back.
00:49:24Gosh, what a small world.
00:49:27Well, for membership we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
00:49:31How about I pay up front for three years?
00:49:34And I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join.
00:49:37You know, if you're really serious about this, you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:49:41You know, if you're really serious about this, you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:49:46I was a mean girl in high school, and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:49:50What you've built here is so empowering.
00:49:54If 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.
00:50:05Shelby, can we start over?
00:50:07Would you let me try to make it right?
00:50:12Okay.
00:50:21This is so awesome.
00:50:23How about lunch?
00:50:25I'm free to grab a bite right now.
00:50:27We can catch up.
00:50:29Okay.
00:50:31Let me grab my bag.
00:50:32Get away from me!
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.
00:50:54I gotta call you back.
00:51:03LaRoche knows about Shelby.
00:51:05He's sicked Isabelle on her.
00:51:07Look, here's her Instagram.
00:51:10What the fuck?
00:51:12LaRoche's oppo research must have tagged her.
00:51:14Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
00:51:17Screw the narrative, it's a trap.
00:51:19They've got my wife.
00:51:26I thought this was supposed to be a quick bite.
00:51:29I have a business to run, you know.
00:51:30You haven't changed a bit since high school.
00:51:32So dedicated.
00:51:34I've always admired that about you.
00:51:37Alright, cut the crap, Izzy.
00:51:39Others might buy your ladylike act,
00:51:41but I know you're still the same vicious bully inside.
00:51:45You didn't come to my gym by accident.
00:51:47What's your angle?
00:51:49Neville asked me to befriend you.
00:51:51I don't want to be here.
00:51:53So I can just add that to the list of reasons why I fucking loathe you.
00:51:57What's my angle, Shelby?
00:51:58The complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy.
00:52:02And if I can take you down with him, all the better.
00:52:11Shelby, listen to me.
00:52:13The press are on their way.
00:52:15I don't have time to explain, but I fucked up.
00:52:17You have to get out of that restaurant.
00:52:19Now.
00:52:22Too late to run.
00:52:24My hubby's here.
00:52:26Leaving so soon, Ms. Trudeau?
00:52:28Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
00:52:34Come on, Shelby, pick up.
00:52:36Let 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.
00:52:46Seeing 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.
00:52:56We'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?
00:53:18What's this about?
00:53:20I spoke with your stepmother.
00:53:22My girl.
00:53:24She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:26It seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bum.
00:53:29On the streets.
00:53:31When actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:53:35I can't believe you fell for that.
00:53:38Not so smart now, are you, Shelby?
00:53:41You're lying.
00:53:43You are Roy's secret bride.
00:53:46A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:53:50When the press arrives,
00:53:52you will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana,
00:53:56so that they may know what kind of man Roy really is.
00:54:09Hey.
00:54:13Let me go.
00:54:15Shelby, please.
00:54:17Why did you keep your marriage a secret?
00:54:19The voters have a right to know.
00:54:20What else are you hiding?
00:54:22You son of a bitch.
00:54:24Come now, Roy.
00:54:26Don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes.
00:54:39Shelby.
00:54:41Shelby, please, hear me out.
00:54:43Don't shell me.
00:54:45God, all of your charm, it's just a lie.
00:54:47I never meant to let it get this far.
00:54:50I planned on coming clean.
00:54:52More lies, Griffin Roy?
00:54:54I was going to tell you today.
00:54:56Convenient.
00:54:58Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start?
00:55:01Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
00:55:04That was always a possibility.
00:55:07Get away from my house.
00:55:09This is technically my home.
00:55:12God, how sitting my ass.
00:55:14You are the worst and I never want to see you again.
00:55:19Shelby.
00:55:26Congressional candidate Griffin Roy has a secret bride.
00:55:30Our reporter is...
00:55:44You got to get a sip of that?
00:56:15Ah.
00:56:29This is private property.
00:56:31Which I own.
00:56:33Liar. Pierce Durand owns this building.
00:56:35He works for me.
00:56:37Then I'll move.
00:56:39I don't want to owe you anything.
00:56:45Ugh.
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.
00:57:04You're not there.
00:57:11I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
00:57:16Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:21You're ridiculous. You do know that, don't you?
00:57:24Oh Shelby, Shelby, don't leave me hanging.
00:57:28What are you doing? You're supposed to turn it on.
00:57:31Yeah, I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:35It's broken. Guy totally scammed me.
00:57:38You are beyond ridiculous.
00:57:41Please Shelby, I didn't say what I wanted to before.
00:57:46Just give me a chance to explain.
00:57:51Fine. Come in you fool.
00:57:54Yeah, I'll come into my own house.
00:58:01You have two minutes.
00:58:10Growing up as a Roy, no one ever liked me for me.
00:58:17It's always been about the money, the access.
00:58:22Then, 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?
00:58:56I've never gone into enemy territory to cut off weapons supply routes.
00:59:02I boxed in prep school. Yeah, 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.
00:59:15But I did not earn those billions.
00:59:19I inherited them from generations of dickheads.
00:59:27When you meet a girl who's a total package, you 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. You think too much.
01:00:00Time for make-up sex.
01:00:06So, 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.
01:00:31This changes everything.
01:00:33No, thanks for the heads up.
01:00:35I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried for as long as possible.
01:00:46Run.
01:00:49I want to stay right here.
01:00:58Where the hell are you, Griff?
01:01:00This is DEFCON 1.
01:01:03Hey, man.
01:01:04Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:07Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:12Come on.
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 Mighty Girl.
01:02:15I finally know her name.
01:02:17Michelle.
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 gonna tell her?
01:02:30Look, it could still be one big mistake.
01:02:33I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:41I 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.
01:02:59He'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.
01:03:14That's insane.
01:03:16Check the date.
01:03:17They got married the first time during Mighty Girl.
01:03:20Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated.
01:03:22We 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.
01:03:36Now, Roy unknowingly marries twice.
01:03:40The girl he's been searching for since Mardi Gras.
01:03:43This will make them seem like some fated love story.
01:03:50This will make them seem like some fated love story.
01:03:54We got nothing on him.
01:03:56Honey, we've got everything we need.
01:03:59What they don't know can definitely hurt them.
01:04:02And right now, to Griffin Roy, Michelle Lane could be anybody.
01:04:09You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear.
01:04:13Who?
01:04:17Well, we have a very limited window to make this work.
01:04:20We will hit hard, but fast.
01:04:26What is she going to say when I tell her I'm married?
01:04:31All right, ladies, good job.
01:04:33That's it for tonight.
01:04:34Remember, this weekend's Mardi Gras.
01:04:37Have fun, but you know what to do if anybody messes with you.
01:04:41Nice work.
01:04:43Hi.
01:04:45Hungry?
01:04:46Yeah, so today's class went super well.
01:04:49Two new students.
01:04:51They really seem to pick up on a lot of things.
01:04:53You're everything I've ever wanted.
01:04:55Everything I didn't even dare to dream.
01:04:58You're it for me.
01:05:00I can't lose you.
01:05:02Griffin, are you okay?
01:05:05Yeah.
01:05:07Just some stuff with the campaign.
01:05:10I want to help.
01:05:12The people I love.
01:05:14I want to help.
01:05:16LaRoche can't win.
01:05:18He and Isabelle are evil.
01:05:20You're the kind of man that people need.
01:05:22I can't imagine anyone else but myself.
01:05:24I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
01:05:27We will plan a siege that surrounds them from all sides.
01:05:31That sounds amazing, Chelle.
01:05:40Father?
01:05:44I remember the two of you.
01:05:46You had it, lad.
01:05:48That special spark.
01:05:50I don't see it often in couples, but when I do, it makes an impression.
01:05:54You must be mistaken.
01:05:56This 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.
01:06:06Drunk with love.
01:06:08The man I married knew what he was doing.
01:06:10I mean, how is this even legal?
01:06:11New Orleans has a 24-hour waiting period.
01:06:14Unless the judge waives it.
01:06:16Son of a bitch.
01:06:18Who was it?
01:06:20He was your best man.
01:06:22You called him Remy.
01:06:24Remy, Chelle.
01:06:26That bastard.
01:06:28No wonder he always had that stupid smirk on his face whenever I stood before him in court.
01:06:31Fuck!
01:06:33Fuck!
01:06:36I don't care.
01:06:38I don't care.
01:06:39I want a marriage now.
01:06:41I love my wife.
01:06:43You're in a bit of a pickle.
01:06:45Because in my book, you love Joe and a wife as well.
01:06:51Sir.
01:06:53Mrs. Rose in your office with Mr. Durand.
01:06:55Shelby.
01:07:00Griffin, this is the woman you've been looking for.
01:07:03This is Michelle Lane.
01:07:06Hi, Griffin.
01:07:07You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:16So you've been an escort for seven years?
01:07:19That's right. Since high school.
01:07:21And that really is your toddler?
01:07:23My baby girl Fleur.
01:07:25She has no daddy. This will be good for her.
01:07:30If I may ask, how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:34That is the least of your worries.
01:07:36All right, chop chop.
01:07:43Now, action.
01:07:47Hi, Griffin.
01:07:49You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:52It was Mardi Gras.
01:07:54We were completely wasted, and we ended up in some church with an Irish priest.
01:07:59We had a wild night at the hotel.
01:08:01And well, Fleur was the happy accident.
01:08:03Fleur 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.
01:08:30Tone it down. Tone it down.
01:08:34Listen, lady, I don't know who you're trying to con with this act.
01:08:39Griffin, don't.
01:08:41But there is no way in hell that I'm married to you.
01:08:44What's going on, Griffin?
01:08:48Is this woman really your wife?
01:08:53No, she's not. We don't know.
01:08:57Which is it?
01:08:59You are my wife. Only you.
01:09:00I understand this is a lot to take in.
01:09:03Fleur and I will just go.
01:09:05I'll have my lawyer reach out.
01:09:07No. No lawyers.
01:09:09We don't need to involve any authorities.
01:09:11This can all be solved with a simple DNA test.
01:09:15Pierce, this woman is a fraud.
01:09:18Griffin, think about it.
01:09:20She says Fleur is your daughter.
01:09:22One little test and that'll prove if she's lying or not.
01:09:25We need to know, Griffin.
01:09:27I need to know.
01:09:28I need to know.
01:09:31Fine. But 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?
01:09:40Less eyes.
01:09:42Understood. We can wait back at my house for the results to come.
01:09:52We've got him. You're up.
01:09:58You're up.
01:10:09Hi.
01:10:25You kid?
01:10:26Don't.
01:10:28Just don't.
01:10:30Shelby go upstairs?
01:10:32She fed them snacks and then locked herself in the guest room.
01:10:38I can't lose her, Pierce.
01:10:42I won't.
01:10:52Moment of truth, buddy.
01:10:56Moment of truth.
01:11:14Fleur, meet your daddy.
01:11:17I will, of course, provide for you both financially.
01:11:23Fleur doesn't need a checkbook. She needs a father.
01:11:26Yes.
01:11:42What do you want?
01:11:44The guest bedroom is empty.
01:11:47You and Fleur can stay there.
01:11:51Shelby.
01:11:53Just don't do this.
01:11:56I'm... I 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.
01:12:15Griffin, you have a daughter now.
01:12:18You're a father and you have to put your child first.
01:12:22I can't be Margot.
01:12:24I 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.
01:12:44How'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.
01:12:54I know.
01:12:59Hi, I'm Diana. I'm Shelby's widow.
01:13:02We've been expecting you.
01:13:03It's true.
01:13:09So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered?
01:13:24I'm sorry.
01:13:54That's strange. I thought I heard something.
01:14:25I'm sorry.
01:14:39It's like she was never here.
01:14:42Hey, mister?
01:14:44Will you marry me?
01:14:47She took everything but left this behind.
01:14:50Message received, Shelby.
01:15:12What the hell is this?
01:15:16I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain, but if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
01:15:24This place is insane.
01:15:26The owner must really trust you.
01:15:31Could it be?
01:15:42It's her. It's always been her.
01:15:47Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:50Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:52As soon as you saw the forged DNA test, it was a done deal.
01:15:55Who is she working for?
01:15:57How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby?
01:16:01Give me a name. Come on, just one name.
01:16:03Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close. I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead.
01:16:07Where is Shelby? Where is my wife?
01:16:10Where is Isabelle taking me?
01:16:12I don't know what you're talking about.
01:16:14I will have you put away for the rest of your life and your daughter will grow up in a fucking orphanage.
01:16:19I don't know where she is. If I knew, I'd tell you, I swear.
01:16:38What is wrong with me?
01:16:44Help! Somebody help!
01:16:49Do you need some water?
01:16:51Oh wait, I see you've already had some.
01:16:54You poisoned me? Why?
01:16:58Why? Why? Where to begin?
01:17:02Lingering high school issues. Offs. I'm helping Neville's campaign. Duh.
01:17:08But the real reason, the one that cuts deep, is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist.
01:17:15By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice, he'll have gone missing.
01:17:22Vanished without a trace.
01:17:25He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:17:28He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:17:31Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body, suspicion 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. Married? Twice?
01:17:49Who's the... the woman in the little girl?
01:17:53Oh, just some cheap whore I hired to tell your husband that they've been married for the past three years.
01:17:59When really, it's been you all along.
01:18:03You've been searching for each other all this time, but now he'll never find you.
01:18:10Alright boys, she's all yours.
01:18:18I told you I'd get you back.
01:18:20I told you I'd get you back.
01:18:27Miss Tudor, why are you here?
01:18:30My daughter, my baby, she's here. I'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... what does she do in return?
01:18:43What does she do in return? She's... she's gone crazy.
01:18:47Stoking Shelby, she tailed her to some hotel in the French Quarter.
01:18:54What hotel?
01:18:56Excuse me sir, my sister's staying here but I've forgotten her room number. Is Shelby Trudeau?
01:19:02Sorry ma'am, we can't disclose any guest information.
01:19:06Shelby... come out, come out, wherever you are.
01:19:27I think I'll do it with my bare hands. Makes it more personal.
01:19:32Actually, do me a favor.
01:19:35Leave a lot of marks on that vase of hers.
01:19:39Fuck you. I want people to see that she suffered, a lot.
01:19:44Oh trust me, she will. Come on, let's get this party started.
01:19:50Look what you've done.
01:19:55Pansy ass slap.
01:19:58She's stalling and you're falling for it.
01:20:01Damn, can't go to the ballet smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:05I'll never give you a chance.
01:20:07I'll never give you a chance.
01:20:09I'll never give you a chance.
01:20:11I'll never give you a chance.
01:20:13I'll never give you a chance.
01:20:15I'll never give you a chance.
01:20:16Damn, can't go to the ballet smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:19I'll never give you a car keys.
01:20:21Shelby has clothes over there.
01:20:23Change.
01:20:25I'll take care of me. You go take care of her.
01:20:34Now the clip. Shelby 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.
01:20:47Starting to make sense now.
01:20:49It was harder on my mom.
01:20:51She 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. Your girl's in room 801.
01:21:14Thanks, man.
01:21:16Now I can go save the love of my life.
01:21:24Too much to drink.
01:21:33Stop right there.
01:21:39Not so fast.
01:21:44Griffin fucking 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, but if you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping.
01:21:58That is a federal crime. Don't bring in the FBI.
01:22:02Someone 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. Hang in there, buddy.
01:22:14You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:22:35Give me my wife back now!
01:22:43Give me my wife!
01:22:54Shelby, you all right?
01:23:13I'm fine.
01:23:31Griff, my God. Do you need medical attention?
01:23:34No, but they do.
01:23:44I guess I renewed my man card.
01:23:47Sure did, honey. Fucked him up real good.
01:23:52Oh, Lord. Please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:24:05Shelby! You little bitch!
01:24:08Did I not say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:24:11What? That's not—
01:24:13Shelby!
01:24:16Put your hands up or I can see them.
01:24:23This is the last one.
01:24:25Hey, hey, hey. I 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.
01:24:32I'm all ears.
01:24:39Is it really over?
01:24:41Yeah, it is.
01:24:44Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but three years ago, did we—
01:24:53You left us.
01:24:55It's true.
01:24:58I can't believe I finally found you.
01:25:01I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met.
01:25:06Why'd you never come back?
01:25:25It's called a walk of shame, not a laugh of it.
01:25:29Mind your own business, Cece.
01:25:31Look at you, Shelby.
01:25:33One Mardi Gras hookup, and you think you found happily ever after.
01:25:37That's not how life works.
01:25:39Sure, he may have liked you with a mask on, but he's not going to want you with it off.
01:25:44Look, you both have a great memory now.
01:25:47But you'll look back, and you'll see that you were never meant to be together.
01:25:51No, but 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, and more importantly, you'll embarrass him.
01:26:06I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:26:09I'm sorry I let her get to me, but 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?
01:26:19Exactly.
01:26:23But I did.
01:26:25And I do.
01:26:27Where do we go from here?
01:26:29Married twice.
01:26:31Deeply in love.
01:26:33Risked our lives to save each other.
01:26:35I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:26:39Shelby, will you...
01:26:42Yes, Griffin Roy!
01:26:43Griffin Roy!
01:26:48I will always love you.
01:26:50In this life or the next.
