00:00:00Hey mister, will you marry me?
00:00:05Shelby Trudeau must be married by 5 o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:09I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau, I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:12Who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:00:14The last guy you even slept with was a one night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:00:18Alright, let's get married.
00:00:19I can't keep living in the past, maybe 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?
00:00:29The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a boy, she liked me for me, and I won't do
00:00:33that again.
00:00:34You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:00:37Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:00:40I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:00:43How pathetic and pointless.
00:00:45Look how in love we are.
00:00:46Sometimes I forget how to let go, but with you every day is fun.
00:00:51Actually, well he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the city.
00:00:55You are Roy's secret bride, a woman he is so ashamed of he would hide the marriage
00:01:00for the rest of the world.
00:01:01We need to get a divorce.
00:01:02I've spent my whole life looking for you.
00:01:05Sometimes love isn't enough.
00:01:09Could it be?
00:01:11It's her.
00:01:12It's always been her.
00:01:13How could I be so blind?
00:01:30I'm bored.
00:01:35According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married
00:01:42by five o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:46That un-ladylike girl is not my daughter.
00:01:49Bad enough I'm her stepmother.
00:01:51My, hello.
00:01:52We want Shelby to know show.
00:01:54That's the way we get everything.
00:02:00I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
00:02:09I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:02:12Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.
00:02:15Dressed in your old uniform.
00:02:17Pathetic.
00:02:18Still trying to play hero.
00:02:20I'm in the Army Reserve now, CC.
00:02:22I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:02:24The will, please.
00:02:27Ooh, the Army Reserve.
00:02:30Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier.
00:02:33No one would have missed you.
00:02:34Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:02:38Look, you don't have to respect me.
00:02:40But don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on the battlefield.
00:02:44Look around, CC.
00:02:46Your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:02:49Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
00:02:54You have freedom and peace because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:03:03Of course.
00:03:04The will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:03:06And I want to thank you for your service.
00:03:13Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours
00:03:16only if signed by both you and your spouse.
00:03:20Woo!
00:03:21That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:24Tick tock.
00:03:37Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:03:39Give up your inheritance and I'll give you one percent.
00:03:42Better than nothing.
00:03:45You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:03:47You will not take what he left me.
00:03:50And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.
00:03:57Really, Shelby?
00:03:58Who's gonna marry you anyhow?
00:04:00The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:04:05Don't.
00:04:06Keep the mystery.
00:04:10You've already lost, Shelby.
00:04:12Take the one percent I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:04:15Right.
00:04:16You're not even going to find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:04:22I'm sorry.
00:04:23I'm sorry.
00:04:24I'm sorry.
00:04:25I'm sorry.
00:04:26I'm sorry.
00:04:27I'm sorry.
00:04:28I'm sorry.
00:04:29I'm sorry.
00:04:30I'm sorry.
00:04:31I'm sorry.
00:04:32I'm sorry.
00:04:33I'm sorry.
00:04:35Watch me.
00:04:40Watch me.
00:04:55Don't worry.
00:05:02He looks single.
00:05:04Oh, my God.
00:05:05This is totally FUBAR.
00:05:08Suck it up, soldier.
00:05:09You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:05:15Hey, mister?
00:05:17Will you marry me?
00:05:28I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain, but if you help me, I promise
00:05:33a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
00:05:35Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:38So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:05:40Do I look like a homeless person to her?
00:05:42Priceless.
00:05:45Shelby Trudeau!
00:05:46You insane!
00:05:47You can't marry this...
00:05:49Help-o.
00:05:52Shelby Trudeau.
00:05:53The late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:05:56That's right.
00:05:57The judge said she was a soldier.
00:05:59He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:06:01Here's a few bucks.
00:06:03Take it and get lost.
00:06:05Don't meddle in our business.
00:06:07Don't speak to him like that.
00:06:09He's a person with feelings.
00:06:11The Cinderella Tale.
00:06:13Complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister.
00:06:16It's clear who deserves my help.
00:06:18And the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:06:20All right.
00:06:22Let's get married.
00:06:31Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:33Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:36And your name is?
00:06:38Griffin Roy.
00:06:40And congratulations.
00:06:42You love births, and you're obviously a baby girl.
00:06:44It's a given.
00:06:46And in truth, it was really nice to be married to you.
00:06:48I believe I did.
00:06:50Oh, and congratulations on what?
00:06:52I forgot to tell you, but...
00:06:54Oh, but I forgot to tell you.
00:06:56I thought you'd forgotten.
00:06:58Oh, well, I'll tell you, Ben.
00:07:00It's a good thing.
00:07:02Yeah.
00:07:04I know that, but...
00:07:06But do you know what?
00:07:08It's a simple thing.
00:07:09Lovebirds?
00:07:19This isn't over! Tell her!
00:07:28Sergeant Tra-
00:07:29Mrs. Roy.
00:07:30You have to stay married for at least one full year
00:07:34or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.
00:07:38You hear that, Shelby?
00:07:40You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:46Come on.
00:07:52I guess we'll need to keep in touch,
00:07:54but you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:07:58Once the estate gets settled and I have the money,
00:08:01we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job.
00:08:05When most people get what they wanted, they usually just walk away.
00:08:09I'm not most people.
00:08:12I see that.
00:08:20I gotta return this.
00:08:23Goodbye for now.
00:08:26Goodbye, wife.
00:08:35Goodbye.
00:08:40Where the hell have you been?
00:08:58Gotcha.
00:08:59Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:09:04This DNA, get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:09:07Look, as your campaign manager,
00:09:09I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:09:12You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
00:09:18Marrying Isabel was the best decision of my life.
00:09:23You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago,
00:09:27you got a package deal.
00:09:29Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor,
00:09:32playboy lawyer, the best.
00:09:35This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:09:38In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women.
00:09:42You want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:09:44Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:09:48It's not just some girl.
00:09:49We had a connection.
00:09:52Never had that before.
00:09:59Look, I gotta run.
00:10:00But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
00:10:04Someone real.
00:10:05Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:10:09I love you.
00:10:26Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:10:29It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:10:32All right, guys, that's class.
00:10:34Nice work.
00:10:40So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:10:43I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:10:48Who knows how many other women he's done this to.
00:10:51So I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place and confront him in person.
00:10:58What's holding you back?
00:11:00Andre's no regular guy, Shelby.
00:11:02He's got a bro pack.
00:11:03These men are like wolves with money.
00:11:06Let's go.
00:11:07We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:28What's your name?
00:11:30I'm Stephanie.
00:11:31How about a drink, huh?
00:11:33Oh, that's okay.
00:11:34Come on, one little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:36Okay, one drink.
00:11:38Really, Pierce?
00:11:39This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:11:42You want to beat LaRoche, you got to mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:11:53I can't believe I slept with that.
00:11:55What was I thinking?
00:11:57I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:11:59I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
00:12:04It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
00:12:10Thanks.
00:12:11That creep.
00:12:14You dickless loser.
00:12:24Drugging girls to get laid.
00:12:26What the fuck?
00:12:27Get out of my house, skank.
00:12:29I'm the skank?
00:12:31That's funny.
00:12:32You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:12:34Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:12:37Unless you're back from war, I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:12:41You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:12:43I just told you that you have chlamydia, and you...
00:12:46Oh, my God.
00:12:48You already know you have it.
00:12:50And you don't care.
00:12:53Ladies!
00:12:54Andre 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.
00:13:26Where did she come from?
00:13:28That's my wife.
00:13:29Isn't she amazing?
00:13:31And she's going to cost you, Andre, once he finds out you're married to her.
00:13:34I don't care.
00:13:35You think you can crash my party and pull that ninja shit on me?
00:13:39You are one dead bitch.
00:13:52Nice.
00:13:53Did you see that combo?
00:13:54Dude, she can fight.
00:13:55Look at her form, man.
00:14:02She can really fight, man.
00:14:04You are hopeless.
00:14:06Hey, swap me jackets.
00:14:08I'll give you my Rolex.
00:14:32Fuck you, Roy!
00:14:34I'll do everything I can to end you!
00:14:36We should get out of here.
00:14:37Yeah, yeah.
00:14:38Come on.
00:14:42Get him!
00:14:45You lied to me.
00:14:46You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:48Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
00:14:50You were next to a dumpster.
00:14:52That's not much of a leap.
00:14:53What were you doing at this party?
00:14:55Working the room.
00:14:56Oh.
00:14:57Thought you were one of those asshole rich guys.
00:15:01I'm sorry.
00:15:02I hope I didn't cost you your job.
00:15:04I know how you can make it up to me.
00:15:06Have dinner with me.
00:15:10My place is nearby.
00:15:11I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
00:15:13Wow.
00:15:14A wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:15:17I'm one lucky man.
00:15:19Don't push it.
00:15:28Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:32This is nice.
00:15:35I haven't had a home cooked meal in a long time.
00:15:39It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.
00:15:41How long were you in the military?
00:15:43Seven years.
00:15:44I joined right after high school.
00:15:46My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.
00:15:49You weren't close with your father?
00:15:52I was.
00:15:53He was my hero.
00:15:55Until he wasn't.
00:15:58He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:16:00He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
00:16:04It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:16:06That must have been really hard for you.
00:16:09It was harder on my mom.
00:16:11She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too.
00:16:14Even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:16:16But then three years ago he reached out, told me he was sick,
00:16:19so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:16:21Here I am.
00:16:23Here you are.
00:16:24Enough about me.
00:16:26What's your story, Griffin Roy?
00:16:30Oh.
00:16:32Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:16:34We know you're in there, Shelby.
00:16:35The light is on.
00:16:36We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:39We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:42Hey.
00:16:44I'll handle this.
00:16:50Oh, I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling,
00:16:53but it's just you two.
00:16:55And you are?
00:16:56That's the homeless guy that Shelby married.
00:16:58What are you doing here?
00:17:00Why wouldn't Griffin be here?
00:17:01He's my husband, after all.
00:17:04Mama, what are we going to do?
00:17:05We need to challenge the will, but how can we do that if they're still together?
00:17:08Shut up, Cece.
00:17:09Oh, I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:17:13How pathetic and pointless.
00:17:16Look how in love we are.
00:17:18I'll be back.
00:17:20Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:17:24All right, we're going to shred that will and your shame of marriage in no time.
00:17:38Margot and Cece are going to be a problem.
00:17:40There's no way they'll let us be.
00:17:42What if we moved in together?
00:17:45You want to live here?
00:17:47No, somewhere with better security, like my place.
00:17:53Sure.
00:17:54I'm dying to see where you live.
00:18:01So let me get this straight.
00:18:03You told her you're house-sitting?
00:18:05That's right.
00:18:06Said I was going to watch the house while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:18:10You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:12Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:18I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.
00:18:21That's very flattering, but you don't know anything about me.
00:18:25I know you take my breath away.
00:18:27And I know that I would wonder for the rest of my life if I didn't take this chance, even if it was only for one night.
00:18:33Maybe it's better this way.
00:18:36No names, no past.
00:18:39We can just be ourselves.
00:18:41I'd like that very much.
00:18:44The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
00:18:47She liked me for me.
00:18:50And I want that again, Pierce.
00:18:52Even for a little while.
00:19:01Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.
00:19:05Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:19:07A lot of people know who you are.
00:19:09How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:19:12I don't know.
00:19:13But I have a chance to be with someone without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
00:19:18Just remember, we're about to launch a multi-platform campaign.
00:19:23In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboards, your face is about to be everywhere.
00:19:29Then 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.
00:19:54We're pretty tight.
00:19:56Here, let me show you to your room.
00:20:04I can't keep living in the past.
00:20:07Maybe 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.
00:20:32Keeps me on my toes.
00:20:34And so damn beautiful.
00:20:36Face sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
00:20:39When do I get to meet her?
00:20:40Her military background and work with actress women will be a real asset for both female and male voters.
00:20:46Dial it back, Pierce. We're in the early stages.
00:20:49Alright, 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.
00:21:06Good.
00:21:13Hey.
00:21:14I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:21:15Ooh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:17Did you mind I let go to a woman? I'm talking food here.
00:21:20Alright, in that case, surprise me.
00:21:23Trust me, I'm full of surprises.
00:21:26I bet you are.
00:21:28See you soon.
00:21:38Gotcha, sis.
00:21:40So this is where you've been hiding out.
00:21:45Ah!
00:21:53Did 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.
00:22:23But it's super cute.
00:22:25I do not snore, Griffin Roy!
00:22:46What are you doing in a place like this?
00:22:48I live here.
00:22:50When did you move in?
00:22:51Um, last week. We'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.
00:23:00Who are you calling a thief?
00:23:02Please step out. Now!
00:23:06What the hell are you doing?
00:23:08Just routine inspection.
00:23:12Let's see what else you're hiding.
00:23:14Let's see what else you're hiding here.
00:23:23Get your filthy hands off my wife!
00:23:25What?
00:23:31Oh, cool.
00:23:33I thought I was saving you, but it looks like you got it.
00:23:37Oh, look out!
00:23:39Ow.
00:23:41Damn, lady. You make it look easy.
00:23:44Are you hurt?
00:23:46Just my pride.
00:23:50Looks like you got it flat.
00:23:52Let's get out of here. We can take my car.
00:23:54This is yours?
00:23:56Borrowed it from a friend.
00:23:58Right.
00:24:02I know all the guards who work here, and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:06Who the hell are you, man?
00:24:08Some kind of big shot or something?
00:24:10Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.
00:24:14All right. You're under arrest.
00:24:18What the hell is going on?
00:24:27Well, that didn't go as planned.
00:24:30Mama, this is all your fault.
00:24:33You pushed me to hire those thugs to humiliate Shelby,
00:24:36and now my money's wasted and she got off scot-free.
00:24:38Eyes on the prize, Cece.
00:24:40Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate, this'll be pocket change.
00:24:44Yeah.
00:24:45And who would have thought that bum would have got the police involved in all this mess?
00:24:48I don't believe he's a bum.
00:24:50I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?
00:24:53No matter whether he's a tramp or not, he married Shelby for her money.
00:24:57Offer him a better deal, and he'll leave her.
00:25:01We annul the marriage and claim the entire estate.
00:25:06Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox the port-a-potty billionaire looking for a new gigolo?
00:25:11That old cougar?
00:25:13Oh, Cece, honey, when they're that age, they're not cougars.
00:25:17They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:23Well, then we just gotta make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25:32You really should have iced these right away.
00:25:35I realize that now.
00:25:37I've only ever sparred with gloves on, never thrown a bare-knuckle punch before.
00:25:43What?
00:25:45Did I just hand in my man card?
00:25:48No, you knocked a guy out with one punch.
00:25:50Your man card is fully intact.
00:25:53You just sounded like a prep school rich boy for a second.
00:26:00Not just for today, but for everything.
00:26:03It's been really lonely since my dad died, and it's nice having someone on my side.
00:26:08There's no need to thank me.
00:26:11I am your husband.
00:26:14Close your eyes.
00:26:27Okay.
00:26:29Fair is fair.
00:26:31I owe you one.
00:26:50Sorry.
00:26:52I know we're just pretending.
00:26:55Right.
00:26:57Pretending.
00:27:01I'm gonna...
00:27:03I'm gonna go for a run.
00:27:06Okay, I'll come with...
00:27:13What if it's just me? Wouldn't that be ironic?
00:27:15The first woman I'm into for so long is not into me.
00:27:18Fuck!
00:27:26What if it's just me?
00:27:34Griffin kissed me, and it felt just like that night three years ago.
00:27:39What's wrong with me?
00:27:41How can I feel the exact same way for two different men?
00:27:55I 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.
00:28:10How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?
00:28:13Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
00:28:15Get in.
00:28:26Ugh.
00:28:29Are you sure he's not homeless?
00:28:31Eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:33So you want me to divorce Shelby
00:28:36and marry Victoria Wilcox, the shithouse billionaire.
00:28:45You will refer to them as porta-potties, young man.
00:28:49We know you're after Shelby's inheritance,
00:28:52but she's never gonna see it.
00:28:54Well...
00:28:56He'll do.
00:29:01Oh, he'll do just nicely.
00:29:06Wait a minute.
00:29:08Have we met before? Because you look real familiar.
00:29:11Oh, no.
00:29:13Nope, I don't think I run in your kinds of circles, Miss Wilcox.
00:29:18The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:24The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:27And you will also be paid 20 grand a month
00:29:29to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:29:34Hmm.
00:29:36Oh, you don't need to worry, boy,
00:29:38because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:42Hmm. Hmm.
00:29:44Ha ha ha ha.
00:29:50Hmm.
00:29:55I don't understand. This says...
00:29:57You're under arrest for pandering.
00:30:01Detective McSwain,
00:30:03this woman has tried to recruit me as a sex worker.
00:30:07That's a class C felony.
00:30:09He's lying.
00:30:13And you will also be paid 20 grand a month
00:30:15to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:30:21Detective.
00:30:23Detective, detective.
00:30:25There must be some misunderstanding.
00:30:27There's no nonsense going on here.
00:30:29No, you can't arrest me on the word of that bum.
00:30:32He set me up.
00:30:33Detective McSwain, it's getting late.
00:30:36I'd like to go home and see my wife.
00:30:44Wait.
00:30:46You have made a big mistake rejecting me.
00:30:49I'm a woman of wealth and power that you cannot fathom.
00:30:54I will make you pay very dearly for this.
00:30:57I don't think anyone mentioned my last name.
00:31:00It's Roy.
00:31:06Well, I knew you looked familiar, you see.
00:31:09I'm just an old woman.
00:31:11You could forgive me.
00:31:13Get out of my face.
00:31:16Pardon me.
00:31:18Excuse me.
00:31:21All right, we got her in the car.
00:31:23How far do you want this to go?
00:31:25Put the fear of God in there.
00:31:27Mug shot, fingerprints, thorax.
00:31:30Then in the morning, drop the charges
00:31:32before the press gets wind.
00:31:34Here, sir, to have your hide.
00:31:36You got it, Griff.
00:31:46Where have you been?
00:31:48I was worried you were gone so long.
00:31:50Yeah?
00:31:52Yeah.
00:31:54Are you hungry? I can heat up some leftovers.
00:31:57Yeah, I'd like that.
00:32:02Did that just happen?
00:32:04Maybe I have a shot with her after all.
00:32:16Oh, baby, my little girl.
00:32:20I will never forget the humiliation that man has caused us.
00:32:24Don't you worry, Mama.
00:32:26I have a plan.
00:32:28I had all night to think about it in that cold, hard cell.
00:32:32If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby, fine.
00:32:35We'll just force Shelby to divorce him.
00:32:38And I know just where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:46Amazing.
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.
00:33:16You're not growing.
00:33:18You're dying.
00:33:20I, um...
00:33:22I'm gonna go shower.
00:33:24Me too.
00:33:28Get a grip, Shelby.
00:33:30So he's hot.
00:33:32You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
00:33:35What makes him any different?
00:33:37He just is.
00:33:39He just is.
00:33:44Hey, Zara.
00:33:45Shelby, you have to get here right away.
00:33:48Buford's kicking us out the gym.
00:33:54I'm sorry, my hands are tied.
00:33:58He says we have to leave.
00:34:00Okay, I got this.
00:34:01Mr. Buford, what are you doing?
00:34:03This is my place of business.
00:34:04You're done here.
00:34:05I sold the building.
00:34:06The new owners want you out.
00:34:08That's illegal.
00:34:09I have a lease.
00:34:10They've got a break clause for new management,
00:34:13and they've decided to activate it.
00:34:15Who the hell is they?
00:34:21That would be us.
00:34:25If we can take it from here.
00:34:27Sure thing.
00:34:28Pleasure doing business with you, ladies.
00:34:30I know you used all your army money for this gym,
00:34:33but you can get it back.
00:34:35All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.
00:34:39Get a divorce, give up your inheritance,
00:34:42and then you can keep your dinky, smelly gym.
00:34:53I bet you want to hit me so bad.
00:34:56Not so tough now, are you, Shelby?
00:34:58Screw you.
00:34:59I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:35:02Sorry, the building is now closed for renovations,
00:35:07and everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:10Of course, you could sue, but that would take months.
00:35:15Well, what would happen to your gym now, Shelby?
00:35:19That's blackmail.
00:35:20We like to call it capitalism.
00:35:22You don't sign, we close the gym,
00:35:24and then you lose everything.
00:35:28Think about what you're doing.
00:35:30This gym is a lifeline for so many women.
00:35:33I won't let you take it from them.
00:35:35You can beg, but I won't budge.
00:35:39Be a smart girl and sign the papers by tomorrow,
00:35:42or you can kiss your Valkyrie Fight Club goodbye.
00:35:47And watch us turn it into Valkyrie Strip Club.
00:35:52Isn't that a good idea?
00:35:54There's poles and everything.
00:35:55Oh, my.
00:35:56Plenty of girls.
00:35:57They're cute.
00:35:58They are cute.
00:35:59Cute enough.
00:36:09I'm not here because I'd give a damn if you win.
00:36:12I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy doesn't.
00:36:15Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:36:19The fuck you say?
00:36:21What exactly did Roy do to earn your loathing?
00:36:25He partnered up against me with a She-Warrior.
00:36:29I want to see them both destroyed.
00:36:32Well, with your connections and my political might,
00:36:36I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:47LaRose got Andre.
00:36:49What are we going to do about this?
00:36:51Nothing.
00:36:52We do not want these two pairing up, all right?
00:36:54This is political suicide.
00:36:55Just talk to Shelby.
00:36:57Maybe if you both apologize...
00:36:58Um, hell no.
00:37:00Let them do their best.
00:37:01Mark my words, this is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
00:37:10Hello, Shelby.
00:37:12Griffin, we need to talk.
00:37:21Shelby?
00:37:22What's going on?
00:37:23You sounded tense on the phone.
00:37:27I have so many missed moments,
00:37:29things I should have said or done,
00:37:31chances that were lost that might have been pivotal to my life.
00:37:35I don't want you to be another moment that I miss.
00:37:50You first.
00:37:53You first.
00:38:23You first.
00:38:54You first.
00:39:00That was...
00:39:01Fucking amazing.
00:39:13Griffin?
00:39:14Where are you going?
00:39:16Griffin?
00:39:18Griffin!
00:39:21Explain yourself.
00:39:22Toothbrush.
00:39:25BJ's.
00:39:27This is Jacques.
00:39:29Why?
00:39:31You're my wife.
00:39:32I sleep with you now.
00:39:34We probably should have talked this through.
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:37You said you had missed moments.
00:39:40I've had them too.
00:39:42You will not be one of them.
00:39:45I know we said we were pretending, but...
00:39:48I want to give us a chance.
00:39:50A real one.
00:39:51A real one.
00:39:53Oh?
00:40:21Oh.
00:40:41I now pronounce ye man and wife.
00:40:46Guess the bonnie lass, why don't ya?
00:40:49Oh.
00:41:04Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour.
00:41:06We can go over the divorce papers.
00:41:13Goodbye, my husband.
00:41:19I knew something must have happened.
00:41:27Hello?
00:41:28Pierce.
00:41:29I need you to use all your connections to find out what Cece and Margot Judeau did to Shelby yesterday.
00:41:36Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.
00:41:40It's five in the morning.
00:41:42You have an hour.
00:41:50How did Cece get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?
00:41:54She and Margot Judeau are using the Judeau mansion as collateral.
00:41:57Stupid.
00:41:58Good for us, bad for them.
00:42:00And the property title?
00:42:02Still in escrow.
00:42:03The title hasn't been transferred yet.
00:42:05Make sure it is.
00:42:07In your name.
00:42:08You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive.
00:42:12Oh, goody, goody.
00:42:15Talk to me, McSwain.
00:42:17I showed the fake guards in lockup Cece Judeau's mugshot.
00:42:20You're right.
00:42:21She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife.
00:42:23How'd you know?
00:42:25Had her M.O. written all over it.
00:42:27I take it the kid gloves are off this time?
00:42:29Oh, yeah.
00:42:30Cece Judeau thinks she's untouchable.
00:42:32Let's show her just how wrong she is.
00:42:45I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
00:42:48I definitely have.
00:42:51Showtime.
00:42:52I'm your campaign manager, not some hired muscle.
00:42:56Here's what I think about your agreement.
00:43:01Did you see that?
00:43:02Did you see that?
00:43:03She chose me, man.
00:43:04She chose me.
00:43:05Well, hell.
00:43:06Looks like she did.
00:43:08You fucking bitch!
00:43:10That's her cue.
00:43:14Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby.
00:43:16You're going to lose everything.
00:43:18You know, at least I still have my self-respect,
00:43:20which is more than I can say for you.
00:43:22Don't be hasty, Cece.
00:43:24She's basically a man.
00:43:25You'll get hurt.
00:43:26I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine,
00:43:29but I will never agree to your demands.
00:43:33Reclaim what's yours?
00:43:35You're never going to get it.
00:43:38Reclaim what's yours?
00:43:40You're never going to step foot in your precious gym ever again.
00:43:46That will be difficult to enforce since I now own the building.
00:43:50Who the hell are you?
00:43:52Pierce Durand.
00:43:53The new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.
00:43:56What?
00:43:59Your deal fell out of escrow.
00:44:02I swooped in and bought it.
00:44:04That's impossible.
00:44:06I own it.
00:44:07Let me spell this out in a way that even an imbecile will understand.
00:44:11I outbid you.
00:44:13The building is mine.
00:44:15Now scram.
00:44:16I'm Emma.
00:44:18Ms. Trudeau, I want to ensure you that your lease is secure.
00:44:22The only change will be a 40% rent reduction.
00:44:27That's unbelievable.
00:44:29Are you sure you can afford that?
00:44:30Oh, yeah.
00:44:32Thank you, Mr. Durand.
00:44:35The gym means a lot to the women in this community.
00:44:43Cece Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion.
00:44:46The fake guards identified you as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau.
00:44:51Okay, well, but that was last week.
00:44:53You can't arrest me now.
00:44:54We most certainly can.
00:44:56And this time, the charges won't be dropped.
00:44:58No! No! No!
00:45:00You can't take my girl!
00:45:02I'm coming after you. I'm never going to forget this.
00:45:04When I get out, you're mine.
00:45:14Zara, call everyone.
00:45:18Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
00:45:27Well, aren't you going to go over there?
00:45:29You're the one that orchestrated this whole thing.
00:45:31No. It's her victory.
00:45:34I merely did what a husband shouldn't to ensure her happiness.
00:45:38That's my reward.
00:45:40That is some wild shit you just spouted.
00:45:42This girl is seriously causing you to lose it, Griff.
00:45:45You worry too much.
00:45:46And you don't worry enough.
00:45:48We have a campaign to win.
00:45:50And you're ten points behind LaRoche in all the latest polls.
00:45:53What are you driving at?
00:45:54Tell Shelby who you are.
00:45:56The voters need to know who your wife is.
00:45:58The voters need to know who your wife is.
00:46:00And we need to be able to shape the narrative.
00:46:02You wait too long, and Neville LaRoche is going to find out and beat us to it.
00:46:07Okay. I'll tell her.
00:46:10I just... I need a few more days of just me with her.
00:46:16Then I'll confess everything.
00:46:18That's Shelby Trudeau, owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
00:46:30Pretty girl.
00:46:32So who's she screwing?
00:46:34Duran or Roy?
00:46:35I don't know, sir.
00:46:37That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
00:46:41Those stuck-up twats kept going on and on
00:46:44about their precious lineages dating back to the Mayflower.
00:46:51Not everyone's white trash like you, Isabel.
00:46:56It is a wonder how you overcame your low-class origins and gained my interest.
00:47:03That wasn't your interest, darling.
00:47:05That was your cock.
00:47:07Touche, my dear.
00:47:09Why are you looking at a picture of her?
00:47:11Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:47:13Well, she went by Michelle in high school, but yeah, that's her.
00:47:19She was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school.
00:47:24From bullies like you, per se?
00:47:28Oh, that is unfortunate.
00:47:32You'll have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect.
00:47:35Neville, no.
00:47:37You mean your new bestie, Isabel?
00:47:39No.
00:47:46It's cooling off.
00:47:48We should go inside.
00:47:50Just a few more minutes.
00:47:53I can't remember the last time I let myself just be.
00:47:58Yeah.
00:47:59I guess when my parents were still together.
00:48:03Before the divorce, the cheating, Mom getting sick.
00:48:08I was carefree then.
00:48:10I joined the army after, but that was just another rollercoaster.
00:48:14It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory cutting off weapons supply routes.
00:48:21I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:48:24It's not the place, it's the person.
00:48:28I feel like I've known you forever.
00:48:32Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:48:42I guess I can wait one more day.
00:48:51Our most sought after place at Valkyrie is our women's self-paced kickboxing.
00:48:58Sign me up!
00:49:00Sign me up!
00:49:02Oh shit, Isabel.
00:49:04The girl who made my life and everyone else's a living hell in high school.
00:49:08What sneaky BS is she up to?
00:49:11Oh my gosh! Michelle, is it you?
00:49:14I go by Shelby now.
00:49:16You look amazing!
00:49:18Michelle, Shelby, and I go way back.
00:49:22Gosh, what a small world.
00:49:25Well, for our membership we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
00:49:29How about I pay up front for three years?
00:49:32And I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join.
00:49:35You know, if you're really serious about this, you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:49:43I was a mean girl in high school, and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:49:47What you've built here is so empowering.
00:49:51If I had had something like this growing up, then maybe I would have found the courage to
00:49:56stop my pa from all the horrible things he did to me and Ma.
00:50:02Shelby, can we start over?
00:50:04Would you let me try to make it right?
00:50:09Okay.
00:50:18This is so awesome!
00:50:20How about lunch? I'm free to grab a bite right now.
00:50:23We can catch up.
00:50:26Okay. Let me grab my bag.
00:50:37Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign.
00:50:41He's pro-union and has a five-point plan to improve workplace safety regulations.
00:50:47Shit!
00:50:49No, no, not you. I gotta call you back.
00:51:01LaRoche knows about Shelby. He's sicked Isabelle on her. Look, here's her Instagram.
00:51:08What the fuck?
00:51:09LaRoche's oppo research must have tagged her.
00:51:11Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
00:51:14Screw the narrative. It's a trap.
00:51:16They've got my wife.
00:51:20I thought this was supposed to be a quick bite. I have a business to run, you know.
00:51:25You haven't changed a bit since high school. So dedicated. I've always admired that about you.
00:51:32Alright, cut the crap, Izzy.
00:51:34Others might buy your ladylike act, but I know you're still the same vicious bully inside.
00:51:40You didn't come to my gym by accident. What's your angle?
00:51:42Neville asked me to befriend you. I don't want to be here.
00:51:46So I can just add that to the list of reasons why I fucking loathe you.
00:51:51What's my angle, Shelby?
00:51:54The complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy.
00:51:57And if I can take you down with him, all the better.
00:52:06Shelby, listen to me. The press are on their way. I don't have time to explain, but I fucked up.
00:52:11You have to get out of here.
00:52:13I don't have time to explain, but I fucked up. You have to get out of that restaurant. Now.
00:52:21Too late to run. My hubby's here.
00:52:24Leaving so soon, Ms. Trudeau. Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
00:52:31Come on, Shelby. Pick up. Let me know you got out of there.
00:52:37Who the hell are you?
00:52:38Congressman. Neville LaRoche.
00:52:41I understand why your husband probably never mentioned me. It seems as how there's so much he hasn't told you.
00:52:46Please, sit down.
00:52:48Isabel was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived.
00:52:52No matter. We'll do this the less genteel way if we must.
00:52:59Both of these men are retired Navy SEALs. I've heard a lot about your fighting skills.
00:53:05So, I came prepared.
00:53:12What's this about?
00:53:15What's this about?
00:53:16I spoke with your stepmother, Margo. She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:22It seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bum on the streets.
00:53:27When actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:53:32I can't believe you fell for that. Not so smart now, are you, Shelby?
00:53:38You're lying.
00:53:40You are Roy's secret bride.
00:53:43A woman he is so ashamed of he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:53:48When the press arrives, you will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana
00:53:54so that they may know what kind of man Roy really is.
00:54:00Hey. I got it.
00:54:04Let me go.
00:54:06Shelby, please.
00:54:08Why did you keep your marriage a secret? The voters have a right to know.
00:54:12What else are you hiding?
00:54:14You son of a bitch.
00:54:16Come now, Roy. Don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes.
00:54:22Shelby, Shelby, please. Hear me out.
00:54:25Don't shell me.
00:54:28God, all of your charm, it's just a lie.
00:54:31I never meant to let it get this far. I planned on coming clean.
00:54:35More lies.
00:54:37I'm sorry.
00:54:39I'm sorry.
00:54:41I'm sorry.
00:54:43I'm sorry.
00:54:45I'm sorry.
00:54:47I'm sorry.
00:54:49I planned on coming clean.
00:54:51More lies, Griffin Roy?
00:54:53I was going to tell you today.
00:54:54Convenient.
00:54:56Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start?
00:54:59Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
00:55:02That was always a possibility.
00:55:05Get away from my house.
00:55:07This is technically my home.
00:55:10God, how sitting my ass.
00:55:13You are the worst and I never want to see you again.
00:55:18Shelby.
00:55:25Congressional candidate Griffin Roy has a secret bride.
00:55:28Our reporter is...
00:55:47You got to get a sip of that?
00:56:17This is private property.
00:56:28Which I own.
00:56:30Liar. Pierce Durand owns this building.
00:56:32He works for me.
00:56:34Then I'll move.
00:56:36I don't want to owe you anything.
00:56:48Oh, Shelby, Shelby, come out, would you please?
00:56:54I wake up in the morning and reach for you, but you're not there.
00:57:01I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
00:57:11Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:16You're ridiculous. You do know that, don't you?
00:57:20Oh, Shelby, Shelby, don't leave me hanging.
00:57:24What are you doing? You're supposed to turn it on.
00:57:27Yeah, I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:32It's broken. Guy totally scammed me.
00:57:35You are beyond ridiculous.
00:57:38Please, Shelby, I didn't say what I wanted to before.
00:57:44Just give me a chance to explain.
00:57:49Fine. Come in, you fool.
00:57:52Yeah, I'll come in to my own house.
00:57:59You have two minutes.
00:58:07Growing up as a Roy, no one ever liked me for me.
00:58:14It's always been about the money, the excess.
00:58:20Then at a moment, three years ago, where someone did like me for me,
00:58:30they had no idea who I was.
00:58:33And I just remember how freeing it felt.
00:58:40So when I met you, and I felt that spark I've been searching for,
00:58:46I didn't think. I just fucking left.
00:58:50Why wait so long to tell me?
00:58:53I've never gone into enemy territory to cut off weapons supply routes.
00:58:59I boxed in prep school. Yeah, you got that right.
00:59:04But otherwise, I've always been more of a lover rather than a fighter.
00:59:11And I've done well as a lawyer, but I did not earn those billions.
00:59:17I inherited them from generations of dickheads.
00:59:24When you meet a girl, it's a total package.
00:59:27You just want to be her total package, too.
00:59:31You really are ridiculous.
00:59:33You know, I have laughed more with you in the past two weeks than I have in my entire life.
00:59:39I'm way too serious, Griffin.
00:59:41Sometimes I forget how to let go.
00:59:44But with you, every day is fun.
00:59:47So, does that mean you forgive me?
00:59:50I'm thinking about it.
00:59:55Yeah, you think too much.
00:59:58Time for make-up sex.
01:00:04So, that's make-up sex.
01:00:07Yeah.
01:00:12Griffin, it hurts so much thinking we were over.
01:00:16I never want to feel like that again.
01:00:19I promise not to let anything get in between us.
01:00:28This changes everything.
01:00:31Elf, thanks for the heads up.
01:00:33I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried for as long as possible.
01:00:44Run.
01:00:46I want to stay right here.
01:00:55Where the hell are you, Griff?
01:00:57This is DEF CON 1.
01:01:00Hey, man.
01:01:01Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:04Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:09Come on.
01:01:15How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:17We've known each other since college.
01:01:19What are you talking about?
01:01:20Didn't you get any of my texts or calls?
01:01:23I must have forgot to charge it.
01:01:25I had quite a night last night.
01:01:27Shelby and I made up.
01:01:29She's forgiven me.
01:01:31Well, she won't forgive you for this.
01:01:35You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy.
01:01:41Michelle Lane.
01:01:43I don't even know who that is.
01:01:44Well, you knew her well enough to marry her three years ago.
01:01:50This can't be right.
01:01:51I got it from a parish clerk.
01:01:53She's agreed to keep it hush-hush for now.
01:01:55The ceremony was conducted at a church.
01:01:58The priest signed and completed the marriage certificate.
01:02:01Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:02:06I now pronounce ye man and wife.
01:02:10The Masked Girl from Mardi Gras.
01:02:13I finally know her name.
01:02:15Michelle.
01:02:16Shit.
01:02:18That finally makes sense.
01:02:20Of course you wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist.
01:02:23Shelby.
01:02:25Fuck.
01:02:27What am I going to tell her?
01:02:28Look, it could still be one big mistake.
01:02:31I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:39I have something for you.
01:02:48I hacked into the parish database.
01:02:50Griffin Roy is legally married to both Michelle Lane and Shelby Trudeau.
01:02:55That's it.
01:02:56He's finished.
01:02:58Griffin Roy will be in jail for bigamy for cocktail hour.
01:03:03Michelle Lane is Shelby Trudeau.
01:03:06They're legally married to each other on two separate occasions.
01:03:09They just don't know it yet.
01:03:12That's insane.
01:03:13Check the date.
01:03:14They got married the first time during Mardi Gras.
01:03:17Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated.
01:03:20We could use that angle.
01:03:21Yeah, the romance is already trending.
01:03:24He made an idiot of himself with that boombox and voters.
01:03:28They're just eating it up.
01:03:31He's catching up in the polls.
01:03:34Now Roy unknowingly marries twice the girl he's been searching for since Mardi Gras.
01:03:40This will make them seem like some faded love story.
01:03:47This will make them seem like some faded love story.
01:03:52We got nothing on him.
01:03:54Honey, we've got everything we need.
01:03:58What they don't know can definitely hurt them.
01:04:01Right now, to Griffin Roy, Michelle Lane could be anybody.
01:04:08You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear.
01:04:12Who?
01:04:16Well, we have a very limited window to make this work.
01:04:20We will hit hard, but fast.
01:04:27What is she going to say when I tell her I'm married?
01:04:32All right, ladies, good job.
01:04:34That's it for tonight.
01:04:35Remember, 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?
01:04:49Yeah, so today's class went super well.
01:04:52Two new students.
01:04:53They really seem to pick up on a lot of things.
01:04:55You're everything I've ever wanted.
01:04:57Everything I didn't even dare to dream.
01:05:00You're it for me.
01:05:01I can't lose you.
01:05:03Griffin, are you okay?
01:05:06Yeah.
01:05:08Just some stuff for the campaign.
01:05:12I want to help.
01:05:13LaRoche can't win.
01:05:15He and Isabel are evil.
01:05:17You're the kind of man that people need.
01:05:19I can't imagine anyone else but myself.
01:05:22I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
01:05:24We will plan a siege that surrounds them from all sides.
01:05:28That sounds amazing, Cheryl.
01:05:38Father?
01:05:42I remembered the two of you.
01:05:44You have it, lad.
01:05:45That special spark.
01:05:47I don't see it often in couples, but when I do, it makes an impression.
01:05:52You must be mistaken.
01:05:54This woman and I, we'd met that day.
01:05:56And you were already finishing each other's sentences, dying to tie the knot.
01:05:59There was no stopping you.
01:06:01I was drunk.
01:06:02Drunk with love.
01:06:04The man I married knew what he was doing.
01:06:07I mean, how is this even legal?
01:06:08New Orleans has a 24-hour waiting period.
01:06:11Unless the judge waives it.
01:06:12Son of a bitch.
01:06:14Who was it?
01:06:15He was your best man.
01:06:16You called him Remy.
01:06:18Remy Calhoun.
01:06:20That bastard.
01:06:22No wonder he always had that stupid smirk on his face whenever I stood before him in court.
01:06:27Fuck.
01:06:29Fuck.
01:06:33I don't care.
01:06:34I don't care.
01:06:35We need to annul the marriage now.
01:06:37I love my wife.
01:06:38You're in a bit of a pickle.
01:06:40In my book, you love Joe the wife as well.
01:06:48Sir.
01:06:50Mrs. Rose in your office with Mr. Durand.
01:06:52Shelby.
01:06:57Griffin, this is the woman you've been looking for.
01:07:00This is Michelle Lane.
01:07:03Hi, Griffin.
01:07:05You may not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:14So you've been an escort for seven years.
01:07:16That's right.
01:07:17Since high school.
01:07:18And that really is your toddler?
01:07:20My baby girl Fleur.
01:07:22She has no daddy.
01:07:23This will be good for her.
01:07:28If I may ask, how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:31That is the least of your worries.
01:07:34All right.
01:07:35Chop, chop.
01:07:41Now, action.
01:07:44Hi, Griffin.
01:07:46You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:50It was Mardi Gras.
01:07:51We were completely wasted, and we ended up in some church with an Irish priest.
01:07:56We had a wild night at the hotel.
01:07:59Fleur was the happy accident nine months later.
01:08:06It can't be true.
01:08:08I've never met you in my life.
01:08:10I mean, you were wearing masks.
01:08:12Yes, that's right.
01:08:13We were.
01:08:14By the time I found out I was pregnant, two months had passed.
01:08:17I've been trying to find you ever since, but it wasn't until I saw one of your ads for Congress that I recognized your voice.
01:08:23It was a miracle.
01:08:25It's too much.
01:08:26She's losing him.
01:08:28Tone it down.
01:08:29Tone it down.
01:08:33Listen, lady, I don't know who you're trying to con with this act.
01:08:36Griffin, don't.
01:08:38But there is no way in hell that I'm married to you.
01:08:42What's going on, Griffin?
01:08:46Is this woman really your wife?
01:08:51No, she's not.
01:08:53We don't know.
01:08:55Which is it?
01:08:56You are my wife.
01:08:57Only you.
01:09:00I understand this is a lot to take in.
01:09:02Fleur and I will just go.
01:09:04I'll have my lawyer reach out.
01:09:06No.
01:09:07No lawyers.
01:09:08We don't need to involve any authorities.
01:09:10This can all be solved with a simple DNA test.
01:09:14Pierce, this woman is a fraud.
01:09:17Griffin, think about it.
01:09:18She says Fleur is your daughter.
01:09:20One little test and that'll prove if she's lying or not.
01:09:23We need to know, Griffin.
01:09:25I need to know.
01:09:28Fine.
01:09:29But I don't want these doubts to fester.
01:09:31We can rush the DNA results and get them back in a few hours.
01:09:34Might I suggest a more private setting?
01:09:37Less eyes.
01:09:38Understood.
01:09:40We can wait back at my house for the results to come.
01:09:49We've got him.
01:09:50You're up.
01:10:21Cute kid.
01:10:23Don't.
01:10:25Just don't.
01:10:27Shelby, go upstairs.
01:10:29She fed them snacks and then locked herself in the guest room.
01:10:35I can't lose her, Pierce.
01:10:39I won't.
01:10:49Moment of truth, buddy.
01:11:11Fleur, meet your daddy.
01:11:14I will, of course, provide for you both financially.
01:11:20Fleur doesn't need a checkbook.
01:11:21She needs a father.
01:11:39What do you want?
01:11:40The guest bedroom is empty.
01:11:43You and Fleur can stay there.
01:11:48Shelby, just don't do this.
01:11:52Just give me some time.
01:11:54I can fix it.
01:11:56This isn't something you fix.
01:11:58You can't be legally married to two women at the same time and you have a child with one of them.
01:12:05We need to get a divorce.
01:12:10She's right, Griff.
01:12:12Griff, you have a daughter now.
01:12:14You're a father and you have to put your child first.
01:12:19I can't be Margot.
01:12:21I won't do that to another little girl.
01:12:25I've spent my whole life looking for you.
01:12:30How can I let you go?
01:12:36Sometimes love isn't enough.
01:12:42How'd you know Shelby would leave him because of the kid?
01:12:45Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people.
01:12:47It's not in her nature to put herself first.
01:12:50Oh, you're a scary woman.
01:12:53I know.
01:12:58So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered?
01:13:59That's strange.
01:14:01I thought I heard something.
01:14:28It'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.
01:15:11What the hell is this?
01:15:14I 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.
01:15:22This place is insane.
01:15:24The owner must really trust you.
01:15:30Could it be?
01:15:43It's her. It's always been her.
01:15:47Yeah, 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?
01:15:56How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby?
01:16:00Give 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.
01:16:09Where is Shelby? Where is my wife?
01:16:13Where is Isabel taking me?
01:16:14I don't know what you're talking about.
01:16:16I will have you put away for the rest of your life and your daughter will go up in a fucking orphanage.
01:16:22I don't know where she is. If I knew, I'd tell you, I swear.
01:16:39What 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?
01:17:04Lingering high school issues. Offs.
01:17:07I'm helping Neville's campaign. Duh.
01:17:10But the real reason, the one that cuts deep, is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist.
01:17:17By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice, he'll have gone missing, vanished without a trace.
01:17:26He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:17:29Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body, suspicion will follow Griffin for the rest of his life.
01:17:37Any political future he may have had will be as dead as you.
01:17:41Net?
01:17:43Back up. Married? Twice?
01:17:48Who's 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.
01:18:09All right, boys, she's all yours.
01:18:17I told you I'd get you back.
01:18:25Miss Tudor, why are you here?
01:18:29My baby Cece, I'm scared she's gonna do something terrible.
01:18:33What do you mean, terrible? What's going on?
01:18:35I sold everything to get her out on bail, and what does she do in return?
01:18:42She's gone crazy.
01:18:44Stoking Shelby, she tailed her to some hotel in the French Quarter.
01:18:51What hotel?
01:18:53Excuse me, sir, my sister's staying here, but I've forgotten her room number.
01:18:58Is Shelby Trudeau?
01:19:00Sorry, ma'am, we can't disclose any guest information.
01:19:09Shelby.
01:19:13Come out, come out, wherever you are.
01:19:24I think I'll do it with my bare hands. It makes it more personal.
01:19:30Actually, do me a favor, leave a lot of marks on that vase of hers.
01:19:36Fuck you. I want people to see that she suffered a lot.
01:19:41Oh, trust me, she will. Come on, let's get this party started.
01:19:54Look what you've done.
01:19:57Pansy-ass slap.
01:20:00She's stalling, and you're falling for it.
01:20:04Damn, you can't go to the valet smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:08I'll never give you your car keys.
01:20:10Shelby has clothes over there.
01:20:13James.
01:20:15I'll take care of me. You take care of her.
01:20:20Now that Griff, Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Blaine.
01:20:24It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request.
01:20:27She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago.
01:20:34Starting to make sense now.
01:20:36It was harder on my mom.
01:20:38She didn't want me to go to jail.
01:20:40She didn't want me to go to jail.
01:20:42She didn't want me to go to jail.
01:20:45Starting to make sense now.
01:20:47It was harder on my mom.
01:20:49She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too.
01:20:52Even started using my mom's maiden name.
01:20:55She's the one you've been looking for.
01:20:57It's been her all this time.
01:20:59How could I be so blind?
01:21:01Of course it had to be Shelby, it had to be her.
01:21:04My heart knew what my brain couldn't see.
01:21:08I got it.
01:21:09Your girl's in room 801.
01:21:12Thanks, man.
01:21:14Now I can go save the love of my life.
01:21:22Too much to drink.
01:21:31Stop right there.
01:21:38Not so fast.
01:21:41Riff and fucking Roy.
01:21:43Finally joined the party.
01:21:45I'm here for my wife.
01:21:47Not gonna happen, brah.
01:21:49What you've done here is aggravated assault.
01:21:52But if you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping.
01:21:55That is a federal crime.
01:21:57Don't bring in the FBI.
01:21:59Someone will have to be around to identify us.
01:22:02That sure as hell won't be you.
01:22:06Did you get all that, Pierce?
01:22:08Police are on their way.
01:22:09Hang in there, buddy.
01:22:12You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:22:32Give me my wife back now!
01:22:42Come on!
01:22:51Show me.
01:22:52You all right?
01:23:12Yeah.
01:23:27Griff, my God.
01:23:29Do you need medical attention?
01:23:31No, but they do.
01:23:42I guess I renewed my man card.
01:23:44Sure did, honey.
01:23:46Fucked him up real good.
01:23:49Oh, Lord.
01:23:50Please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:24:02Shelby!
01:24:04You little bitch!
01:24:06Didn't I say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:24:09What?
01:24:11That's not...
01:24:12Shelby!
01:24:15Put your hands up or I can see them.
01:24:21This is the last one.
01:24:22Hey, hey, hey.
01:24:23I want to make a deal.
01:24:24What do you have to offer up?
01:24:26Congressman Neville LaRoche.
01:24:28I'm all ears.
01:24:36Is it really over?
01:24:38Yeah, it is.
01:24:41Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but...
01:24:45Three years ago, did we...
01:24:50You left us.
01:24:59It's true.
01:25:01I can't believe I finally found you.
01:25:04I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met.
01:25:09Why'd you never come back?
01:25:27It's called a walk of shame, not a laugh of it.
01:25:30Mind your own business, Cece.
01:25:32Look at you, Shelby.
01:25:34One Mardi Gras hookup and you think you found happily ever after.
01:25:38That's not how life works.
01:25:40Sure, he may have liked you with the mask on, but he's not going to want you with it off.
01:25:46Look, you both have a great memory now.
01:25:48But you'll look back and you'll see that you're just the clueless chick who didn't know the score.
01:25:55You'll embarrass yourself.
01:25:57And more importantly, you'll embarrass him.
01:25:59Heh!
01:26:03I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:26:06I'm sorry I let her get to me.
01:26:09But to be honest, what we had seemed too good to be true.
01:26:12How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:26:17Exactly.
01:26:21But I did.
01:26:23And I do.
01:26:24Where do we go from here?
01:26:26Married twice.
01:26:28Deeply in love.
01:26:30Risked our lives to save each other.
01:26:32I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:26:37Shelby, will you...
01:26:39Yes, Griffin Roy!
01:26:45I will always love you.
01:26:47In this life or the next.
01:26:58I love you.
