00:00:00Will you marry me?
00:00:02Shelby Trudeau must be married by 5 o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:07I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau. I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:10Who's gonna marry you anyhow? The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:00:15Alright, let's get married.
00:00:17I can't keep living in the past. Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:00:22Why can't you just tell her it's your place? You're a public figure.
00:00:25How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:00:27When I left for Mardi Gras, I didn't know I was a boy. She liked me for me and I want that again.
00:00:31You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:00:35Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:00:38I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:00:41How pathetic and pointless. Look how in love we are.
00:00:44Sometimes I forget how to let go. But with you, every day is fun.
00:00:49Actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the city.
00:00:52You are Roy's secret bride. A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:00:57We need to get a divorce.
00:00:59I've spent my whole life looking for you.
00:01:02Sometimes love isn't enough.
00:01:05Could it be?
00:01:07It's her. It's always been her.
00:01:10How could I be so blind?
00:01:23I'm bored.
00:01:26According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married by five o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:37That unlady-like girl is not my daughter.
00:01:40Bad enough I'm her stepmother.
00:01:42My, hello. We want Shelby to know show.
00:01:45That's the way to do it.
00:01:48I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau. I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:01:52Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.
00:01:55Dressed in your old uniform. Pathetic.
00:01:58Still trying to play hero.
00:02:00I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:02I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:02:04I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:06I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:02:08I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:10I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:12I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:14I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:16I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:18I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:20I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:22I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:24I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:26I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:28I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:30I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:32I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:34I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:36I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:38I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:40I'm sorry, Miss Trudeau.
00:02:42Look around, Cece.
00:02:44Your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:02:46Do you think any of that would be possible
00:02:48without others sacrificing?
00:02:50You have freedom and peace
00:02:52because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:03:00Of course.
00:03:02The will, Sergeant Juneau.
00:03:04And I want to thank you for your service.
00:03:06Your father's will stipulates
00:03:08that the inheritance is yours
00:03:10only if signed by both you
00:03:12and your spouse.
00:03:14Woo!
00:03:16That means you've got 15 minutes
00:03:18to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:20Tick tock.
00:03:22Tick tock.
00:03:34Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:03:36Give up your inheritance
00:03:38and I'll give you one cent.
00:03:40Better than nothing.
00:03:42You stole my father from me
00:03:44most of my life.
00:03:46You will not take what he left me.
00:03:48And what this money could do to help the gym
00:03:50and all the women that are part of it.
00:03:54Really, Shelby?
00:03:56Who's gonna marry you anyhow?
00:03:58The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand
00:04:00three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:04:14Don't.
00:04:16Keep the mystery.
00:04:20You've already lost, Shelby.
00:04:22Take the one percent I'm offering
00:04:24and be grateful for it.
00:04:26Right. You're not even gonna find a bum
00:04:28on the street to marry you in time.
00:04:32Watch me.
00:04:36Watch me.
00:04:38Watch me.
00:04:52Don't worry.
00:05:00He looks single.
00:05:02Oh my god, this is totally FUBAR.
00:05:04Suck it up, soldier.
00:05:06You can't let your evil stepmother
00:05:08and stepsister win.
00:05:12Hey, mister?
00:05:14Will you marry me?
00:05:24I know this sounds crazy
00:05:26and there's no time to explain, but
00:05:28if you help me, I promise a generous
00:05:30reward once I get my inheritance.
00:05:32Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:34So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:05:36Do I look like a homeless person to her?
00:05:38Priceless.
00:05:42Shelby Trudeau, are you insane?
00:05:44You can't marry this
00:05:46helpful.
00:05:48Shelby Trudeau.
00:05:50The late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:05:52That's right.
00:05:54The judge said she was a soldier.
00:05:56He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:05:58Here's a few bucks.
00:06:00Take it and get lost.
00:06:02You don't meddle in our business.
00:06:04Don't speak to him like that.
00:06:06He's a person with feelings.
00:06:08The Cinderella Tale.
00:06:10Complete with an evil stepmother
00:06:12and obnoxious stepsister.
00:06:14It's clear who deserves my help.
00:06:16And the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:06:18Alright.
00:06:20Let's get married.
00:06:32Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:34Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:38And your name is?
00:06:40Griffin Roy.
00:06:42And your name is?
00:06:44Griffin Roy.
00:07:04And congratulations, you
00:07:06lovebirds.
00:07:12This isn't over.
00:07:14Tell her.
00:07:20Sergeant Trudeau.
00:07:22Mrs. Roy.
00:07:24You have to stay married for at least
00:07:26one full year
00:07:28or everything goes to your
00:07:30stepmother and stepsister.
00:07:32You hear that, Shelby?
00:07:34You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:36You hear that, Shelby?
00:07:38You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:50I guess we'll need to keep in touch.
00:07:52But you probably don't have a
00:07:54permanent address.
00:07:56Once the estate gets settled
00:07:58and I have the money, we can get you an apartment
00:08:00and set you up with a job.
00:08:02When most people get what they
00:08:04wanted, they usually just walk away.
00:08:06I'm not most people.
00:08:08I'm not most people.
00:08:10I see that.
00:08:18I gotta return this.
00:08:20Goodbye for now.
00:08:22Goodbye, wife.
00:08:34Where the hell have you been?
00:08:52Gotcha.
00:08:54Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:08:58This DNA,
00:09:00get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:09:02Look, as your campaign manager,
00:09:04I need you to be more focused
00:09:06on your image, okay?
00:09:08You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
00:09:14Marrying Isabel
00:09:16was the best decision of my life.
00:09:18You know,
00:09:20when you elected me to Congress
00:09:22three years ago,
00:09:24you got a package deal.
00:09:26Griffin Roy, just another billionaire
00:09:28bachelor, playboy lawyer,
00:09:30best.
00:09:32This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:09:34In a snap,
00:09:36I can line up a dozen beautiful,
00:09:38successful women.
00:09:40You want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:09:42Look, you can't keep pining over some girl
00:09:44you met three years ago.
00:09:46It's not just some girl.
00:09:48We had a connection.
00:09:50Never had that before.
00:09:56Look, I gotta run.
00:09:58But Griffin, you need to find a woman
00:10:00who can stand by your side.
00:10:02Someone real.
00:10:04Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:10:24Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:10:26It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:10:28Alright, guys.
00:10:30That's class.
00:10:32Nice work.
00:10:38So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:10:40I tried to call him,
00:10:42but Mr. Chlamydia
00:10:44blocked my number.
00:10:46Who knows how many other women he's done this to.
00:10:48So,
00:10:50I was thinking, maybe it's time
00:10:52to go by his place and
00:10:54confront him in person.
00:10:56What's holding you back?
00:10:58Andre's no regular guy, Shelby.
00:11:00He's got a bro pack.
00:11:02These men are like wolves with mutton.
00:11:04Let's go.
00:11:06We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:24What's your name?
00:11:26I'm Stephanie.
00:11:28How about a drink, huh?
00:11:30Oh, that's okay.
00:11:32Come on, one little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:34Okay, one drink.
00:11:36Really, Pierce, this clown
00:11:38is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:11:40You wanna beat LaRoche,
00:11:42you gotta mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:11:50I can't believe I slept with that.
00:11:52What was I thinking?
00:11:54I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:11:56I mean, the night was just
00:11:58one big black hole.
00:12:00It wasn't the alcohol
00:12:02that caused you to black out.
00:12:04That...
00:12:06Thing.
00:12:08That creep.
00:12:10You dickless loser.
00:12:12You dickless loser.
00:12:22Drugging girls to get laid.
00:12:24What the fuck? Get out of my house, skank.
00:12:26I'm the skank?
00:12:28That's funny.
00:12:30You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:12:32Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:12:34Unless you're back for more,
00:12:36I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:12:38You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:12:40I just told you that you have chlamydia,
00:12:42and you...
00:12:44Oh, my God.
00:12:46You already know you have it.
00:12:48And you don't care.
00:12:50Ladies!
00:12:52Andre Ivanov has been knowingly
00:12:54spreading chlamydia.
00:13:02What is she doing here?
00:13:04Both of you, get out of here.
00:13:10Bullshit.
00:13:12She can't know who I am yet.
00:13:18Do you know who I am?
00:13:20I don't care.
00:13:26Where did she come from?
00:13:28That's my wife.
00:13:30Isn't she amazing?
00:13:32And she's gonna cost you, Andre,
00:13:34once he finds out you're married to her?
00:13:36I don't care.
00:13:38I want dead bitch.
00:13:50Nice. Did you see that combo?
00:13:52Dude, she can fight. Look at her form, man.
00:14:00She can really fight, man.
00:14:02You are hopeless.
00:14:04Hey, swap me jackets.
00:14:06Give me your Rolex.
00:14:30Fuck you, Roy!
00:14:32I'll do everything I can to end you!
00:14:34We should get out of here.
00:14:40Get him!
00:14:42You lied to me.
00:14:44You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:46When 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.
00:14:56Oh. I thought you were one of those
00:14:58asshole rich guys.
00:15:00I'm sorry. I hope I didn't cost you your job.
00:15:02I know how you can make it up to me.
00:15:04Have dinner with me.
00:15:06My place is nearby.
00:15:08I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
00:15:10Wow. A wife who cooks
00:15:12and kicks ass.
00:15:14I'm one lucky man.
00:15:16Don't push it.
00:15:26Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:32This is nice. I haven't had
00:15:34a home cooked meal in a long time.
00:15:36It's one of the things I miss the most
00:15:38when I was deployed.
00:15:40How long were you in the military?
00:15:42Seven years. I joined right after high school.
00:15:44My mom had just died and I was feeling
00:15:46rudderless.
00:15:48You weren't close with your father?
00:15:50I was. He was my hero.
00:15:52Until he wasn't.
00:15:56He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:15:58He was the judge and she was the
00:16:00stenographer. It was quite the scandal
00:16:02at the time.
00:16:04That must have been really hard for you.
00:16:06It was harder on my mom.
00:16:08She didn't want anything to do with him
00:16:10so I cut him off too.
00:16:12Even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:16:14But then three years ago he reached out,
00:16:16told me he was sick, so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:16:18Here I am.
00:16:20Here you are.
00:16:22Enough about me.
00:16:24What's your story, Griffin Roy?
00:16:26Oh.
00:16:28Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:16:30We know you're in there, Shelby.
00:16:32The light is on.
00:16:34We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:36We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:38Hey.
00:16:40I'll handle this.
00:16:46Oh.
00:16:48I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling
00:16:50but it's just you two.
00:16:52And you are?
00:16:54That's the homeless guy that Shelby married.
00:16:56What are you doing here?
00:16:58Why wouldn't Griffin be here?
00:17:00He's my husband, after all.
00:17:02Mama, what are we going to do?
00:17:04We need to challenge the will.
00:17:06But how can we do that if they're still together?
00:17:08Shut up, Cece.
00:17:10Oh, I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:17:12How pathetic and pointless.
00:17:14Look how in love we are.
00:17:16I'll be back.
00:17:18Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:17:20Right.
00:17:22We're going to shred that will
00:17:24in no time.
00:17:36Margo and Cece are going to be a problem.
00:17:38There's no way they'll let us be.
00:17:40What if we moved in together?
00:17:42You want to live here?
00:17:44No.
00:17:46Somewhere with better security.
00:17:48Like my place.
00:17:50Sure.
00:17:52I'm dying to see where you live.
00:17:58So let me get this straight.
00:18:00You told her you're house-sitting?
00:18:02That's right.
00:18:04Said I was going to watch the house
00:18:06while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:18:08You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:10Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:16I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.
00:18:18That's very flattering,
00:18:20but you don't know anything about me.
00:18:22I know you take my breath away.
00:18:24And I know that I would wonder
00:18:26for the rest of my life if I didn't take this chance.
00:18:28Even if it was only for one night.
00:18:30Maybe it's better this way.
00:18:34No names, no past.
00:18:36We can just be ourselves.
00:18:38I'd like that very much.
00:18:42The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
00:18:44She liked me for me.
00:18:46And I want that again, Pierce.
00:18:48Even for a little while.
00:18:58Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.
00:19:02Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:19:04A lot of people know who you are.
00:19:06How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:19:08I don't know.
00:19:10But I have a chance to be with someone
00:19:12without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
00:19:14Well, just remember,
00:19:16we're about to launch a multi-platform campaign.
00:19:18In two weeks,
00:19:20TV, radio,
00:19:22social, billboards,
00:19:24your face is about to be everywhere.
00:19:26Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.
00:19:46This place is insane.
00:19:48The owner must really trust you.
00:19:50Yep.
00:19:52We're pretty tight.
00:19:54Here, let me show you to your room.
00:20:02I can't keep living in the past.
00:20:06Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:20:16Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:20:24I take it things are going well with Xena Warrior Princess.
00:20:26Oh, she's so exciting.
00:20:28And competitive.
00:20:30Keeps me on my toes.
00:20:32And so damn beautiful.
00:20:34Face sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
00:20:36When do I get to meet her?
00:20:38Her military background and work with actress women
00:20:40will be a real asset for both female and male voters.
00:20:42Dial it back, Pierce.
00:20:44We're in the early stages.
00:20:46Alright, well, don't take too long.
00:20:48You married her for the campaign.
00:20:50And it's not like she can dump you
00:20:52once she finds out.
00:20:54She needs you for her inheritance.
00:21:04Good.
00:21:10Hey.
00:21:12I'll take care of you tonight.
00:21:14Ooh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:16Get your mind out of the gutter, woman.
00:21:18We're talking food here.
00:21:20Alright, in that case, surprise me.
00:21:22Trust me, I'm full of surprises.
00:21:24I bet you are.
00:21:36Gotcha, sis.
00:21:38So this is where you've been hiding out.
00:21:42Hahaha!
00:21:50Did you want some of my wine?
00:22:12I turned off your alarm.
00:22:14You obviously needed to sleep.
00:22:16We can run tonight.
00:22:18P.S.
00:22:20You snore.
00:22:22But it's super cute.
00:22:24I do not snore, Griffinroy!
00:22:26Hahaha!
00:22:42What are you doing in a place like this?
00:22:44I live here.
00:22:46When did you move in?
00:22:48Last week.
00:22:50We're house-sitting.
00:22:52Yeah, I've heard that one before.
00:22:54Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.
00:22:56Thieves are always trying to break in.
00:22:58Who are you calling a thief?
00:23:00Please step out.
00:23:02Now!
00:23:04What the hell are you doing?
00:23:06Just routine inspection.
00:23:08Let's see what else you're hiding here.
00:23:18Get your filthy hands off my wife!
00:23:20What?
00:23:26Oh.
00:23:28Cool.
00:23:30I thought I was saving you.
00:23:32But it looks like you got it.
00:23:34Look out!
00:23:38Damn, lady.
00:23:40You make it look easy.
00:23:42Are you hurt?
00:23:44Just my pride.
00:23:46Looks like you got it flat.
00:23:48Let's get out of here.
00:23:50We can take my car.
00:23:52This is yours?
00:23:54Borrowed it from a friend.
00:23:56Right.
00:24:00I know all the guards who work here.
00:24:02And you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:04Who the hell are you, man?
00:24:06Some kind of big shot or something?
00:24:08Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.
00:24:12Alright.
00:24:14You're under arrest.
00:24:16What the hell is going on?
00:24:26Well, that didn't go as planned.
00:24:28Mama, this is all your fault.
00:24:30You pushed me to hire those thugs
00:24:32to humiliate Shelby,
00:24:34and now my money's wasted and she got off scot-free!
00:24:36Eyes on the prize, Cece.
00:24:38Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate,
00:24:40this'll be pocket change.
00:24:42Yeah. And who would have thought that bum
00:24:44would have got the police involved in all this mess?
00:24:46I don't believe he's a bum.
00:24:48I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?
00:24:50No matter whether he's a tramp or not,
00:24:52he married Shelby for her money.
00:24:54Offer him a better deal
00:24:56and he'll leave her.
00:24:58We annul the marriage
00:25:00and claim the entire estate.
00:25:02Yes!
00:25:04Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox
00:25:06the port-a-potty billionaire looking for a new gigolo?
00:25:08That old cougar?
00:25:10Oh, Cece, honey.
00:25:12When they're that age, they're not cougars.
00:25:14They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:20Well,
00:25:22then we just gotta make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25:24You really should have iced these right away.
00:25:26I realize that now.
00:25:28I've only ever sparred with gloves on,
00:25:30never thrown a bare-knuckle punch before.
00:25:34What?
00:25:36Did I just hand in my man card?
00:25:38No, you knocked a guy out with one punch.
00:25:40Your man card is fully intact.
00:25:44You just sounded like a prep-school rich boy for a second.
00:25:46I'm sorry.
00:25:48I'm sorry.
00:25:50I'm sorry.
00:25:52You just sounded like a prep-school rich boy for a second.
00:25:58Not just for today,
00:26:00but for everything.
00:26:02It's been really lonely since my dad died,
00:26:04and it's nice
00:26:06having someone on my side.
00:26:08There's no need to thank me.
00:26:10I am your husband.
00:26:12Close your eyes.
00:26:22Okay.
00:26:24Fair is fair.
00:26:26I owe you one.
00:26:46Sorry.
00:26:48I know we're just pretending.
00:26:50Right.
00:26:52Pretending.
00:26:56I'm gonna...
00:26:58I'm gonna go for a run.
00:27:00Okay, I'll come with...
00:27:08What if it's just me?
00:27:10Wouldn't that be ironic?
00:27:12The first woman I'm into for so long
00:27:14is not into me.
00:27:16Fuck!
00:27:20Fuck!
00:27:32Griffin kissed me,
00:27:34and it felt just like that night three years ago.
00:27:36What's wrong with me?
00:27:38How can I feel the exact same way
00:27:40for two different men?
00:27:50I don't know.
00:27:52He looks like a wet street dog.
00:27:54I'll shower and a haircut,
00:27:56and he'll be marginally presentable.
00:27:58Hey!
00:28:00You!
00:28:04We got a proposition for you.
00:28:06How'd you like to be richer
00:28:08than you ever imagined?
00:28:10Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
00:28:12Get in.
00:28:20Ugh.
00:28:22Ugh.
00:28:26Are you sure he's not homeless?
00:28:28Eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:30So you want me to divorce Shelby
00:28:32and marry
00:28:34Victoria Wilcox,
00:28:36the shithouse billionaire.
00:28:42You will refer to them as
00:28:44porta-potties, young man.
00:28:46We know you're after
00:28:48her inheritance, but she's never
00:28:50gonna see it.
00:28:52Well, he'll do.
00:28:58Oh, he'll do just nicely.
00:29:02Wait a minute.
00:29:04Have we met before?
00:29:06Because you look real familiar.
00:29:08Oh, no.
00:29:10Nope, I don't think I run in your
00:29:12kinds of circles, Ms. Wilcox.
00:29:14The first document
00:29:16are official divorce papers.
00:29:20The first document
00:29:22are official divorce papers.
00:29:24And you will also be paid $20,000 a month
00:29:26to provide
00:29:28intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:29:30Hmm.
00:29:32Oh, you don't need to worry, boy.
00:29:34Because I have
00:29:36the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:38Hmm. Hmm.
00:29:40Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:29:46Hmm. Hmm.
00:29:52I don't understand.
00:29:54This says...
00:29:56You're under arrest for pandering.
00:29:58Detective McSwain,
00:30:00this woman has tried
00:30:02to recruit me as
00:30:04a sex worker.
00:30:06That's a class C felony.
00:30:08He's lying.
00:30:10And you will also be paid
00:30:12$20,000 a month to provide
00:30:14intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:30:20Detective, detective.
00:30:22There must be some misunderstanding.
00:30:24There's no nonsense going on here.
00:30:26No, you can't arrest me
00:30:28on the word of that bum. He set me up.
00:30:30Detective McSwain, it's
00:30:32getting late.
00:30:34I'd like to go home and see my wife.
00:30:40Wait.
00:30:44You have made a big mistake rejecting me.
00:30:46I'm a woman of wealth
00:30:48and power that you cannot
00:30:50fathom. I will make you
00:30:52pay very dearly for this.
00:30:54I don't think anyone mentioned
00:30:56my last name.
00:30:58It's Roy.
00:31:04Well, I knew you looked familiar.
00:31:06You see, I'm just an old woman.
00:31:08You could forgive me.
00:31:10Get out of my face.
00:31:14Pardon.
00:31:16Excuse me.
00:31:18Alright, we got her in the car.
00:31:20How far do you want this to go?
00:31:22Put the fear of God in there.
00:31:24Mug shot, fingerprints,
00:31:26the works.
00:31:28Then in the morning, drop the charges
00:31:30before the press gets wind.
00:31:32Pierce her to have your hide.
00:31:34You got it, Griff.
00:31:45Where have you been?
00:31:47I was worried you were
00:31:49gone so long. Yeah?
00:31:51Yeah.
00:31:53Are you hungry?
00:31:55I can heat up some leftovers.
00:31:57Yeah, I'd like that.
00:32:01Did that just happen?
00:32:03Maybe I have a shot with her after all.
00:32:15Oh, baby.
00:32:17My little girl.
00:32:19I will never forget the
00:32:21humiliation that man has caused us.
00:32:23Don't you worry, Mama.
00:32:25I have a plan.
00:32:27I had all night to think about it in that cold,
00:32:29hard cell.
00:32:31If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby,
00:32:33fine. We'll just force
00:32:35Shelby to divorce him.
00:32:37And I know just
00:32:39where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:42He's amazing.
00:32:58I think we
00:33:00shaved 30 seconds off that time.
00:33:02I thought I was competitive.
00:33:04You even compete with yourself.
00:33:12You're not growing.
00:33:14You're dying.
00:33:16I, um...
00:33:18I'm going to go shower.
00:33:20Me too.
00:33:25Get a grip, Shelby.
00:33:27So he's hot.
00:33:29You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
00:33:31What makes him any different?
00:33:33He just is.
00:33:35Hey, Zara.
00:33:37Shelby, you have to get here right away.
00:33:39Buford's kicking us out the gym.
00:33:45I'm sorry. My hands are tied.
00:33:49He says we have to leave.
00:33:51Okay, I got this.
00:33:53Mr. Buford, what are you doing?
00:33:55This is my place of business.
00:33:57You're done here.
00:33:59I sold the building.
00:34:01The new owners want you out.
00:34:03That's illegal. I have a lease.
00:34:05They've got a break clause for new management,
00:34:07and they've decided to activate it.
00:34:09Who the hell is they?
00:34:15That would be us.
00:34:19If we can take it from here.
00:34:21Sure thing. Pleasure doing business with you, ladies.
00:34:23I know you used all your army money
00:34:25for this gym,
00:34:27but you can get it back.
00:34:29All you have to do is sign the lease.
00:34:31You can get it back.
00:34:33All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.
00:34:35Get a divorce,
00:34:37give up your inheritance,
00:34:39and then you can keep your
00:34:41dinky, smelly gym.
00:34:51I bet you want to hit me so bad.
00:34:53Not so tough now, are you, Shelby?
00:34:55Screw you.
00:34:57I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:34:59Sorry, the building is now closed
00:35:01for...
00:35:03renovations, and
00:35:05everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:07Of course, you could
00:35:09sue, but that would take
00:35:11months.
00:35:13Well, what would happen to your gym
00:35:15now, Shelby? That's blackmail.
00:35:17We like to call it capitalism.
00:35:19You don't sign, we close
00:35:21the gym, and then you lose everything.
00:35:25Think about what you're doing.
00:35:27This gym is a lifeline for so
00:35:29many women. I won't let you take it from them.
00:35:31You can beg,
00:35:33but I won't budge.
00:35:35Be a smart
00:35:37girl and sign the papers by tomorrow
00:35:39or you can kiss your
00:35:41Valkyrie Fight Club
00:35:43goodbye. And watch us turn it into
00:35:45Valkyrie
00:35:47Strip Club.
00:35:49Isn't that a good idea?
00:35:51There's poles and everything. Oh my.
00:35:53Plenty of girls. Ooh. They're cute.
00:35:55They are cute.
00:35:57Cute enough.
00:36:07I'm not here because I give a damn if you win.
00:36:09I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy
00:36:11doesn't. Well, the enemy
00:36:13of my enemy is my friend.
00:36:15The fuck you say?
00:36:17What exactly did
00:36:19Roy do to earn your
00:36:21loathing? He partnered up against
00:36:23me with a she-warrior.
00:36:25I want to see them
00:36:27both destroyed.
00:36:29Well, with your connections
00:36:31and my political might,
00:36:33I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:43LaRose got Andre.
00:36:45What are we gonna do about this?
00:36:47Nothing.
00:36:49We do not want these two pairing up, alright?
00:36:51This is political suicide.
00:36:53Just talk to Shelby.
00:36:55Maybe if you both apologize... Um, hell no.
00:36:57Let them do their best.
00:36:59Mark my words, this is gonna come back
00:37:01to bite you in the ass.
00:37:07Hello, Shelby.
00:37:09Griffin,
00:37:11we need to talk.
00:37:13Shelby?
00:37:19What's going on?
00:37:21You sounded tense
00:37:23on the phone.
00:37:25I have so many missed moments.
00:37:27Things I should have said or done.
00:37:29Chances that were lost
00:37:31that might have been pivotal to my life.
00:37:33I don't want you to be another
00:37:35moment that I miss.
00:37:43You first.
00:38:13You first.
00:38:43What is that?
00:38:53That was...
00:38:55fucking amazing.
00:39:07Griffin?
00:39:09Where are you going?
00:39:11Griffin? Where are you going? Griffin? Griffin?
00:39:18Explain yourself.
00:39:20Toothbrush.
00:39:23BJ's. This is Jacques.
00:39:27Why?
00:39:29You're my wife. I sleep with you now.
00:39:32We probably should have talked this through.
00:39:34Yeah. You said you had missed moments. I've had them too.
00:39:39You will not be one of them.
00:39:42I know we said we were pretending, but I want to give us a chance. A real one.
00:39:49Oh?
00:40:09♪
00:40:38I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:40:43Qu'est-ce que vous voulez?
00:41:01Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour. We can go over the divorce papers.
00:41:09Goodbye, my husband.
00:41:20I knew something must have happened.
00:41:28Hello?
00:41:30Pierce, I need you to use all your connections to find out what Cece and Margot Trudeau did to Shelby yesterday.
00:41:35Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.
00:41:41It's five in the morning.
00:41:43You have an hour.
00:41:50How did Cece get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?
00:41:54She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral.
00:41:57Stupid. Good for us, bad for them. And the property title?
00:42:02Still in escrow. The title hasn't been transferred yet.
00:42:05Make sure it is in 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.
00:42:18Talk to me, McSwain.
00:42:20I showed the fake guards in lockup Cece Trudeau's mugshot.
00:42:23You're right. She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife. How'd you know?
00:42:27Had her M.O. written all over it.
00:42:30I take it the kid gloves are off this time?
00:42:32Oh yeah. Cece Trudeau thinks she's untouchable.
00:42:35I'm just how wrong she is.
00:42:45I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
00:42:48I definitely have.
00:42:50Showtime.
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? Did you see that? She chose me, man.
00:43:03She chose me.
00:43:05Well, hell, looks like she did.
00:43:08You fucking bitch!
00:43:11That's her cue.
00:43:16Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby. You're going to lose everything.
00:43:20You know, at least I still have my self-respect, which is more than I can say for you.
00:43:24Don't be hasty, Cece. She's basically a man. You'll get hurt.
00:43:28I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine, but I will never agree to your demands.
00:43:35Reclaim what's yours? You're never going to step foot in your precious gym ever again.
00:43:42That will be difficult to enforce since I now own the building.
00:43:47Who the hell are you?
00:43:49Pierce Durand, the new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.
00:43:53What?
00:43:55Your deal fell out of escrow. I swooped in and bought it.
00:44:01That's impossible. I own it.
00:44:04Let me spell this out in a way that even an imbecile will understand.
00:44:08I outbid you. The building is mine. Now scram.
00:44:13I'm here.
00:44:15Ms. Trudeau, I want to ensure you that your lease is secure.
00:44:19The only change will be a 40% rent reduction.
00:44:23That's unbelievable. Are you sure you can afford that?
00:44:27Oh yeah.
00:44:29Thank you, Mr. Durand. The gym means a lot to the women in this community.
00:44:40Cece Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion.
00:44:43The fake guards identified you as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau.
00:44:47Okay, well, but that was last week. You can't arrest me now.
00:44:50We most certainly can, and this time the charges won't be dropped.
00:44:54No, no, no. You can't take my girl.
00:44:58I'm coming after you. I'm never going to forget this when I get out.
00:45:02You're mine.
00:45:10Zara, call everyone. Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
00:45:15Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
00:45:24Well, aren't you going to go over there?
00:45:27You're the one that orchestrated this whole thing.
00:45:30No, it's her victory. I merely did what a husband shouldn't to ensure her happiness.
00:45:37That's my reward.
00:45:39That is some wild shit you just spouted.
00:45:41This girl is seriously causing you to lose it, Griff.
00:45:43You worry too much.
00:45:45And you don't worry enough.
00:45:47We have a campaign to win, and you're ten points behind LaRoche in all the latest polls.
00:45:51What are you driving at?
00:45:53Tell Shelby who you are.
00:45:55The voters need to know who your wife is, and we need to be able to shape the narrative.
00:45:59You wait too long, and Neville LaRoche is going to find out and beat us to it.
00:46:04Okay. I'll tell her.
00:46:07I just... I need a few more days of just me with her.
00:46:13Then I'll confess everything.
00:46:24That's Shelby Trudeau, owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
00:46:28Pretty girl.
00:46:30So who's she screwing?
00:46:32Duran or Roy?
00:46:33I don't know, sir.
00:46:35That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
00:46:38Those stock-up twats kept going on and on about their precious lineages dating back to the Mayflower.
00:46:48Not everyone's white trash like you, Isabel.
00:46:53It is a wonder how you overcame your low-class origins and gained my interest.
00:47:00That wasn't your interest, darling. That was your cock.
00:47:04Too shame, my dear.
00:47:05Why are you looking at a picture of her?
00:47:07Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:47:09Well, she went by Michelle in high school, but yeah, that's her.
00:47:14She was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school.
00:47:19From bullies like you, per se.
00:47:23Oh, that is unfortunate.
00:47:27You'll have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect.
00:47:31No, no.
00:47:32Neville, no.
00:47:34You mean your new bestie, Isabel?
00:47:36Baby, no.
00:47:44It's cooling off. We should go inside.
00:47:47Just a few more minutes.
00:47:50I can't remember the last time I let myself just... be.
00:47:55Yeah.
00:47:56I think it was when my parents were still together.
00:47:59Before the divorce, the cheating, Mom getting sick.
00:48:04I was carefree then.
00:48:07I joined the army after, but that was just another rollercoaster.
00:48:11It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory cutting off weapons supply routes.
00:48:17Well, I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:48:21It's not the place, it's the person.
00:48:24I feel like I've known you forever.
00:48:32Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:48:41I guess I can wait one more day.
00:48:43One more day.
00:48:50Our most sought after place in Valkyrie is our women's self defense kickboxing.
00:48:57Sign me up.
00:49:00Oh shit, Isabel.
00:49:02The girl who made my life and everyone else's a living hell in high school.
00:49:06What sneaky BS is she up to?
00:49:09Oh my gosh, Michelle! Is it you?
00:49:11I go by Shelby now.
00:49:13You look amazing!
00:49:15Michelle... Shelby, and I go way back.
00:49:19Gosh, what a small world.
00:49:22Well, for membership we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
00:49:26How about I pay up front for three years?
00:49:29And I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join.
00:49:32You know, if you're really serious about this, you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:49:37I was a mean girl in high school, and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:49:42What you've built here is so empowering.
00:49:46If 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.
00:49:57Shelby, can we start over? Would you let me try to make it right?
00:50:06Okay.
00:50:16This is so awesome!
00:50:18How about lunch? I'm free to grab a bite right now. We can catch up.
00:50:24Okay. Let me grab my bag.
00:50:26Yay!
00:50:35Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign.
00:50:39He's pro-union and has a five-point plan to improve workplace safety regulations.
00:50:45Shit!
00:50:47No, no, not you. I gotta call you back.
00:50:57LaRoche knows about Shelby. He's sicked Isabelle on her. Look, here's her Instagram.
00:51:04What the fuck?
00:51:06LaRoche's oppo research must have tagged her. Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
00:51:11Screw the narrative. It's a trap.
00:51:13They've got my wife.
00:51:20I thought this was supposed to be a quick bite. I have a business to run, you know.
00:51:24You haven't changed a bit since high school. So dedicated. I've always admired that about you.
00:51:31Alright, cut the crap, Izzy. Others might buy your ladylike act, but I know you're still the same vicious bully inside.
00:51:39You 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?
00:51:55The complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy. And if I can take you down with him, all the better.
00:52:07Shelby, listen to me. The press are on their way. I don't have time to explain, but I fucked up. You have to get out of that restaurant. Now.
00:52:18Too late to run. My hubby's here.
00:52:20Leaving so soon, Ms. Trudeau. Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
00:52:28Come on, Shelby. Pick up. Let me know you got out of there.
00:52:33Who the hell are you?
00:52:35Congressman. Neville LaRoche. I understand why your husband probably never mentioned me.
00:52:41Seeing as how there's so much he hasn't told you. Please, sit down.
00:52:45Isabel was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived.
00:52:49No matter. We'll do this the less genteel way if we must.
00:52:56Both of these men are retired Navy SEALs. I've heard a lot about your fighting skills, so I came prepared.
00:53:09What's this about?
00:53:12What's this about?
00:53:14I spoke with your stepmother. My girl. She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:20It seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bum on the streets.
00:53:25When actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:53:30I can't believe you fell for that. I'm not so smart now, are you, Shelby?
00:53:36You're lying.
00:53:37You are Roy's secret bride. A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:53:45When the press arrives, you will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana, so that they may know what kind of man Roy really is.
00:53:56Hey, come. I got you.
00:54:00Let me go.
00:54:02Shelby, please.
00:54:04Why did you keep your marriage a secret? The voters have a right to know. What else are you hiding?
00:54:09You son of a bitch.
00:54:11Now, Roy, don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes.
00:54:16Shelby, please. Hear me out.
00:54:19Don't shell me. God, all of your charm. It's just a lie.
00:54:24I never meant it.
00:54:26It's just a lie.
00:54:28I'm not lying!
00:54:30I'm not lying.
00:54:32I don't want you to talk to me about it, don't tell anyone!
00:54:36You're not.
00:54:38I'm not.
00:54:40I really want you to tell me.
00:54:42It's just a lie.
00:54:44I never meant to let it get this far.
00:54:46I planned on coming clean.
00:54:47More lies, Gryffinroy?
00:54:49I was going to tell you today.
00:54:51Convenient.
00:54:53Why didn't you just tell me you were
00:54:54a billionaire from the start?
00:54:56Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
00:54:59That was always a possibility.
00:55:02Get away from my house.
00:55:04This is technically my home.
00:55:08How's sitting my ass?
00:55:10You are the worst, and I never want to see you again.
00:55:15Shelby.
00:55:22Congressional candidate, Gryffinroy,
00:55:24has a secret bride.
00:55:25Our reporter is.
00:55:40You got to get a sip of that?
00:56:10Ah.
00:56:23This is private property.
00:56:25Which I own.
00:56:27Liar.
00:56:27Pierce Durand owns this building.
00:56:29He works for me.
00:56:31Then I'll move.
00:56:32I don't want to owe you anything.
00:56:40Oh, Shelby, Shelby, come out, would you please?
00:56:53I wake up in the morning and reach for you,
00:56:57but you're not there.
00:57:05I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
00:57:10Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:15You're ridiculous.
00:57:16You do know that, don't you?
00:57:18Oh, Shelby, Shelby, don't leave me hanging.
00:57:22What are you doing?
00:57:23You're supposed to turn it on.
00:57:26Yeah, I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:30It's broken.
00:57:31Guy totally scammed me.
00:57:34You are beyond ridiculous.
00:57:36Please, Shelby, I didn't say what
00:57:40I wanted to before, just give me a chance to explain.
00:57:46Fine.
00:57:47Come in, you fool.
00:57:49Yeah, I'll come in on my own.
00:57:56You have two minutes.
00:57:58Growing up as a Roy, no one ever liked me for me.
00:58:05It's always been about the money, the excess.
00:58:12Then, at a moment, three years ago,
00:58:16where someone did like me for me,
00:58:21they admitted that they liked me for me.
00:58:25They had no idea who I was.
00:58:28And I just remember how freeing it felt.
00:58:35So when I met you, and I felt that spark
00:58:38I've been searching for, I didn't think.
00:58:43I just fucking left.
00:58:45Why wait so long to tell me?
00:58:48I've never gone into enemy territory
00:58:51to cut off weapons supply routes.
00:58:54I boxed in prep school.
00:58:57Yeah, you got that right.
00:58:59But otherwise, I've always been more of a lover
00:59:03rather than a fighter.
00:59:06And I've done well as a lawyer.
00:59:08But I did not earn those billions.
00:59:12I inherited them from generations of dickheads.
00:59:19When you meet a girl, it's a total package.
00:59:24You just want to be her total package, too.
00:59:28You really are ridiculous.
00:59:30You know, I have laughed more with you in the past two weeks
00:59:33than I have in my entire life.
00:59:36I'm way too serious, Griffin.
00:59:38Sometimes I forget how to let go.
00:59:41But with you, every day is fun.
00:59:44So does that mean you forgive me?
00:59:47I'm thinking about it.
00:59:52Yeah.
00:59:53You think too much.
00:59:55Time for make-up sex.
01:00:00So that's make-up sex.
01:00:04Yeah.
01:00:08Griffin, it hurts so much thinking we were over.
01:00:13I never want to feel like that again.
01:00:16I promise not to let anything get in between us.
01:00:24This changes everything.
01:00:27Elf, thanks for the heads up.
01:00:29I'd appreciate it if you could keep it
01:00:30buried for as long as possible.
01:00:40Run.
01:00:42I want to stay right here.
01:00:45Where the hell are you, Grif?
01:00:47This is DEFCON 1.
01:00:50Hey, man.
01:00:51Seriously?
01:00:52That's all you have to say?
01:00:54Seriously?
01:00:55That's all you have to say?
01:01:00Come on.
01:01:05How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:07We've known each other for a long time.
01:01:09We've been friends for a long time.
01:01:11How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:13We've known each other since college.
01:01:15What are you talking about?
01:01:16Didn't you get any of my texts or calls?
01:01:19I must have forgot to charge it.
01:01:22I had quite a night last night.
01:01:24Shelby and I made up.
01:01:26She's forgiven me.
01:01:27Well, she won't forgive you for this.
01:01:31You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy.
01:01:37Michelle Lane.
01:01:39I don't even know who that is.
01:01:41Well, you knew her well enough to marry her three years ago.
01:01:47This can't be right.
01:01:48I got it from a parish clerk.
01:01:50She's agreed to keep it hush-hush for now.
01:01:52The ceremony was conducted at a church.
01:01:54The priest signed and completed the marriage certificate.
01:01:58Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:02:03I now pronounce ye man and wife.
01:02:07The masked girl from Mardi Gras.
01:02:09I finally know her name.
01:02:11Michelle.
01:02:13Shit.
01:02:14That finally makes sense.
01:02:16Of course you wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist.
01:02:19Shelby.
01:02:21Fuck.
01:02:23What am I going to tell her?
01:02:24Look, it could still be one big mistake.
01:02:27I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:30I have something for you.
01:02:41I hacked into the parish database.
01:02:43Griffin Roy is legally married to both Michelle Lane and Shelby Trudeau.
01:02:48That's it.
01:02:49He's finished.
01:02:51Griffin Roy will be in jail for bigamy for cocktail hour.
01:02:56We'll be in jail for bigamy for cocktail hour.
01:02:59Michelle Lane is Shelby Trudeau.
01:03:02They're legally married to each other on two separate occasions.
01:03:05They just don't know it yet.
01:03:08That's insane.
01:03:09Check the date.
01:03:11They got married the first time during Mardi Gras.
01:03:13Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated.
01:03:16We could use that angle.
01:03:18Yeah, the romance is already trending.
01:03:20He made an idiot of himself with that boombox and voters.
01:03:24So, they're just eating it up.
01:03:28He's catching up in the polls.
01:03:30Now, Roy unknowingly marries twice.
01:03:34The girl he's been searching for since Mardi Gras.
01:03:37This will make them seem like some faded love story.
01:03:44This will make them seem like some faded love story.
01:03:49We got nothing on him.
01:03:51Honey, we've got everything we need.
01:03:54What they don't know can definitely hurt them.
01:03:57And right now, to Griffin Roy, Michelle Lane could be anybody.
01:04:04You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear.
01:04:08Who?
01:04:12Well, we have a very limited window to make this work.
01:04:16We will hit hard,
01:04:18or hit fast.
01:04:22What is she going to say when I tell her I'm married?
01:04:28Alright ladies, good job. That's it for tonight.
01:04:31Remember, this weekend's Mardi Gras.
01:04:33Have fun, but you know what to do if anybody messes with you.
01:04:37Nice work.
01:04:39Hi.
01:04:41Hungry?
01:04:44Yeah, so, today's class went super well.
01:04:47Two new students.
01:04:49They really did pick up on a lot of things.
01:04:51You're everything I've ever wanted.
01:04:53Everything I didn't even dare to dream.
01:04:56You're it for me.
01:04:57I can't lose you.
01:04:59Griffin, are you okay?
01:05:03Yeah.
01:05:04Just some stuff for the campaign.
01:05:08I want to help.
01:05:09LaRoche can't win.
01:05:11He and Isabel are evil.
01:05:13You're the kind of man that people need.
01:05:15I can't imagine anyone else but myself.
01:05:18I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
01:05:20We will plan a siege that surrounds them from all sides.
01:05:25That sounds amazing, Cheryl.
01:05:34Barbara?
01:05:38I remembered the two of you.
01:05:40You have it, lad. That special spark.
01:05:44I don't see it often in couples, but when I do, it makes an impression.
01:05:48You must be mistaken.
01:05:50This woman and I, we'd met that day.
01:05:52And you were already finishing each other's sentences, dying to tie the knot.
01:05:56There was no stopping you.
01:05:57I was drunk.
01:05:59Drunk with love.
01:06:00The man I married knew what he was doing.
01:06:03I mean, how is this even legal?
01:06:05New Orleans has a 24-hour waiting period.
01:06:07Unless the judge waives it.
01:06:09Son of a bitch.
01:06:10Who was it?
01:06:11He was your best man.
01:06:13We called him Remy.
01:06:15Remy Cal, that bastard.
01:06:18No wonder he always had that stupid smirk on his face whenever I stood before him in court.
01:06:24Fuck.
01:06:26Fuck.
01:06:30I don't care. I don't care.
01:06:32We need to annul the marriage now.
01:06:34I love my wife.
01:06:35You're in a bit of a pickle.
01:06:36Because in my book, you love Joe the wife as well.
01:06:44Sir, Mrs. Rose in your office with Mr. Durand.
01:06:48Shelby.
01:06:53Griffin, this is the woman you've been looking for.
01:06:56This is Michelle Lane.
01:06:59Hi, Griffin.
01:07:01You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:05So you've been an escort for seven years.
01:07:08That's right, since high school.
01:07:10And that really is your toddler?
01:07:12My baby girl, Fleur.
01:07:14She has no daddy. This will be good for her.
01:07:20If I may ask, how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:23That is the least of your worries.
01:07:26All right, chop chop.
01:07:29Now, action.
01:07:32Hi, Griffin.
01:07:34You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:38It was Mardi Gras.
01:07:40We were completely wasted, and we ended up in some church with an Irish priest.
01:07:45We had a wild night at the hotel, and well...
01:07:48Fleur was the happy accident.
01:07:51And I was the happy accident.
01:07:53We had a wild night at the hotel, and well...
01:07:56Fleur was the happy accident, nine months later.
01:08:03It can't be true.
01:08:05I've never met you in my life.
01:08:07I mean, you were wearing masks.
01:08:09Yes, that's right. We were.
01:08:11By the time I found out I was pregnant, two months had passed.
01:08:14I've been trying to find you ever since,
01:08:16but it wasn't until I saw one of your ads for Congress that I recognized your voice.
01:08:20It was a miracle.
01:08:22It's too much. She's losing him.
01:08:24Tone it down. Tone it down.
01:08:29Listen, lady, I don't know who you're trying to con with this act.
01:08:33Griffin, don't.
01:08:35But there is no way in hell that I'm married to you.
01:08:39What's going on, Griffin?
01:08:43Is this woman really your wife?
01:08:48No, she's not. We don't know.
01:08:51Which is it?
01:08:52You are my wife. Only you.
01:08:56I understand this is a lot to take in.
01:08:59Fleur and I will just go. I'll have my lawyer reach out.
01:09:02No. No lawyers.
01:09:04We don't need to involve any authorities.
01:09:07This can all be solved with a simple DNA test.
01:09:11Pierce, this woman is a fraud.
01:09:13Griffin, think about it.
01:09:15She says Fleur is your daughter.
01:09:17One little test, and that'll prove if she's lying or not.
01:09:20We need to know, Griffin.
01:09:22I need to know.
01:09:25Fine. But I don't want these doubts to fester.
01:09:28We can rush the DNA results and get them back in a few hours.
01:09:31Might I suggest a more private setting? Less eyes.
01:09:35Understood. We can wait back at my house for the results to come.
01:09:46We've got him. You're up.
01:09:50I'm up.
01:09:52I'm up.
01:10:03Hi.
01:10:19You kid?
01:10:20Don't. Just don't.
01:10:23Shelby go upstairs?
01:10:25She fed them snacks and then locked herself in the guest room.
01:10:32I can't lose her, Pierce.
01:10:36I won't.
01:10:46Moment of truth, buddy.
01:10:50Moment of truth.
01:11:08Fleur, meet your daddy.
01:11:11I will, of course, provide for you both financially.
01:11:16Fleur doesn't need a checkbook. She needs a father.
01:11:35What do you want?
01:11:37The guest bedroom is empty.
01:11:40You and Fleur can stay there.
01:11:43Shelby, just don't do this.
01:11:48Just give me some time. I can fix it.
01:11:52This isn't something you fix.
01:11:54You can't be legally married to two women at the same time and you have a child with one of them.
01:12:01We need to get a divorce.
01:12:06She's right, Griff.
01:12:09Griff, you have a daughter now.
01:12:11You're a father and you have to put your child first.
01:12:15I can't be Margot.
01:12:17I won't do that to another little girl.
01:12:21I've spent my whole life looking for you.
01:12:27How can I let you go?
01:12:32Sometimes love isn't enough.
01:12:38How'd you know Shelby would leave him because of the kid?
01:12:41Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people.
01:12:43It's not in her nature to put herself first.
01:12:46Oh, you're a scary woman.
01:12:49I know.
01:12:54Hi, um, check your name.
01:12:57We've been expecting you.
01:13:04So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered?
01:13:26Hi.
01:13:56That's strange. I thought I heard something.
01:14:27It'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.
01:14:50Will you marry me?
01:14:53She took everything but left this behind.
01:14:56Message received, Shelby.
01:15:08What the hell is this?
01:15:11I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain but
01:15:14if you help me I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
01:15:18This place is insane.
01:15:20The owner must really trust you.
01:15:26Could it be?
01:15:39It's her. It's always been her.
01:15:43Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:46Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:48As soon as you saw the forged DNA test it was a done deal.
01:15:51Who is she working for?
01:15:53How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby?
01:15:56Give me a name. Come on, just one name.
01:15:59Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close.
01:16:01I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead.
01:16:05Where is Shelby? Where is my wife?
01:16:09Where is Isabel taking me?
01:16:11I don't know what you're talking about.
01:16:12I will have you put away for the rest of your life
01:16:15and your daughter will grow up in a fucking orphanage.
01:16:18I don't know where she is.
01:16:20If I knew I'd tell you, I swear.
01:16:36What is wrong with me?
01:16:39Help! Somebody help!
01:16:45Do you need some water?
01:16:47Oh wait, I see you've already had some.
01:16:50You poisoned me? Why?
01:16:54Why? Why? Where to begin?
01:17:00Lingering high school issues. Offs.
01:17:02I'm helping Neville's campaign. Duh.
01:17:06But the real reason, the one that cuts deep,
01:17:09is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist.
01:17:13By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice,
01:17:17he'll have gone missing, vanished without a trace.
01:17:23He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:17:25Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body,
01:17:29suspicion will follow Griffin for the rest of his life.
01:17:32Any political future he may have had will be as dead as you.
01:17:36Net?
01:17:38Back up. Married? Twice?
01:17:43Who's the... the woman in the little girl?
01:17:47Oh, just some cheap whore I hired to tell your husband
01:17:51that they've been married for the past three years.
01:17:54When really, it's been you all along.
01:17:58You've been searching for each other all this time.
01:18:01But now he'll never find you.
01:18:04All right, boys. She's all yours.
01:18:13I told you I'd get you back.
01:18:21Miss Tudor, why are you here?
01:18:23My daughter, my baby Cece.
01:18:26I'm scared she's gonna do something terrible.
01:18:29What do you mean, terrible? What's going on?
01:18:31I sold everything to get her out on bail,
01:18:35and you... what does she do in return?
01:18:37She's... she's gone crazy.
01:18:39Stoking Shelby.
01:18:41She tailed her to some hotel in the French Quarter.
01:18:47What hotel?
01:18:49Excuse me, sir.
01:18:50My sister's staying here, but I've forgotten her room number.
01:18:53Is Shelby Trudeau?
01:18:55Sorry, ma'am. We can't disclose any guest information.
01:18:59Shelby...
01:19:04Come out, come out, wherever you are.
01:19:18I think I'll do it with my bare hands.
01:19:20Makes it more personal.
01:19:23Actually, go ahead.
01:19:25Make it more personal.
01:19:28Actually, do me a favor.
01:19:30Leave a lot of marks on that vase of hers.
01:19:33Fuck you.
01:19:35I want people to see that she suffered. A lot.
01:19:38Oh, trust me. She will.
01:19:41Come on. Let's get this party started.
01:19:56Look what you've done.
01:20:02Pansy-ass slap.
01:20:05She's stalling, and you're falling for it.
01:20:08Damn. Can't go to the valet smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:12I'll never give you your car keys.
01:20:14Shelby has clothes over there.
01:20:16Change.
01:20:18I'll take care of me. You go take care of her.
01:20:26I found it, Chris.
01:20:28Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Lane.
01:20:31It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request.
01:20:34She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago.
01:20:41Starting to make sense now.
01:20:43It was harder on my mom.
01:20:45She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off, too.
01:20:48Even started using my mom's maiden name.
01:20:51She's the one you've been looking for.
01:20:53It's been her all this time.
01:20:55How could I be so blind?
01:20:57Of course it had to be Shelby. It had to be her.
01:21:01My heart knew what my brain couldn't see.
01:21:04I got it. Your girl's in room 801.
01:21:08Thanks, man.
01:21:10Now I can go save the love of my life.
01:21:18Too much to drink.
01:21:21Where is it?
01:21:28Stop right there.
01:21:34Not so fast.
01:21:37Griffin fucking Roy.
01:21:40Finally joined the party.
01:21:42I'm here for my wife.
01:21:44Not gonna happen, brah.
01:21:46What you've done here is aggravated assault.
01:21:49If you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping.
01:21:52That is a federal crime. Don't bring in the FBI.
01:21:57Someone will have to be around to identify us.
01:21:59That sure as hell won't be you.
01:22:03Did you get all that, Pierce?
01:22:05Police are on their way. Hang in there, buddy.
01:22:09You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:22:20Oh, God.
01:22:29Give me my wife right now!
01:22:31Oh, God.
01:22:47Shelby, you all right?
01:23:02Ow!
01:23:24Griff, my God.
01:23:26Do you need medical attention?
01:23:28No, but they do.
01:23:31Oh.
01:23:38I guess I renewed my man card.
01:23:41Sure did, honey. Fucked him up real good.
01:23:46Oh, Lord. Please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:23:52Shelby!
01:23:54You little bitch!
01:23:56Did I not say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:24:00What?
01:24:02That's not... Shelby!
01:24:06Put your hands up where I can see them.
01:24:12This is the last one.
01:24:14Hey, hey, hey. I want to make a deal.
01:24:17This is the last one.
01:24:19Hey, hey, hey. I want to make a deal.
01:24:21What do you have to offer up?
01:24:23Congressman Neville LaRoche.
01:24:25I'm all ears.
01:24:33Is it really over?
01:24:35Yeah, it is.
01:24:37Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but...
01:24:42Three years ago, did we...
01:24:46You left this.
01:24:55It's true.
01:24:58I can't believe I finally found you.
01:25:00I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met.
01:25:05Why'd you never come back?
01:25:17It's called a walk of shame, not a laugh of it.
01:25:21Mind your own business, Cece.
01:25:23Look at you, Shelby.
01:25:25One Mardi Gras hookup, and you think you found happily ever after.
01:25:29That's not how life works.
01:25:31Sure, he may have liked you with a mask on,
01:25:33but he's not going to want you with it all.
01:25:36Look, you both have a great memory now,
01:25:39but you'll only get worse.
01:25:41Wow.
01:25:43Look, you both have a great memory now,
01:25:46but you'll look back, and you'll see that you're just the clueless chick
01:25:49who didn't know the score.
01:25:52You'll embarrass yourself, and more importantly,
01:25:55you'll embarrass him.
01:26:00I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:26:03I'm sorry I let her get to me,
01:26:06but to be honest, what we had seemed too good to be true.
01:26:09How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:26:13Exactly.
01:26:17But I did.
01:26:19They do.
01:26:21Where do we go from here?
01:26:23Married twice, deeply in love,
01:26:26risked our lives to save each other.
01:26:28I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:26:33Shelby, will you...
01:26:36Yes, Griffin Roy!
01:26:40I will always love you.
01:26:43In this life or the next.
