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 birds.
00:06:44Happy birthday.
00:06:46I thought birds weren't birds.
00:06:48I'm a bird.
00:06:50I'm a bird.
00:06:52You're a bird.
00:06:53I'm a bird.
00:06:54Whoa!
00:06:55Dude, they're so cute.
00:06:57Yeah, they're the cutest.
00:06:59You're making silly faces.
00:07:01I don't know how to...
00:07:03I'm sorry.
00:07:05I think you'll look good in those.
00:07:07I'd be shy.
00:07:08Congratulations, you... love birds?
00:07:20This isn't over! Tell her!
00:07:28Sergeant Tra-
00:07:29Mrs. Roy.
00:07:31You have to stay married for at least one full year
00:07:35or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.
00:07:39You hear that, Shelby?
00:07:41You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:47Come on.
00:07:53I guess we'll need to keep in touch,
00:07:55but you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:07:59Once the estate gets settled and I have the money,
00:08:02we 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.
00:08:09Well, I'm not most people.
00:08:12I see that.
00:08:20I gotta return this.
00:08:23Goodbye for now.
00:08:26Goodbye, wife.
00:08:32Where the hell have you been?
00:08:58Gotcha.
00:08:59Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:09:03This DNA, get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:09:06Look, as your campaign manager,
00:09:08I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:09:12You'll never catch LaRose 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.
00:09:37In 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.
00:10:33That'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?
00:10:59Andre's some regular guy, Shelby.
00:11:01He's got a bro pack.
00:11:03These men are like wolves with money.
00:11:06Let's go.
00:11:08We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:29What's your name?
00:11:30I'm Stephanie.
00:11:32How about a drink, huh?
00:11:33Oh, that's okay.
00:11:34Come on.
00:11:35One little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:36Okay.
00:11:37One 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 for more, 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.
00:16:03It 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.
00:17:24Guys, 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.
00:18:31Even 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.
00:21:15Oh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:17Get your mind out of the gutter, 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, Gryffinroy!
00:22:29What are you doing in a place like this?
00:22:31I live here.
00:22:33When did you move in?
00:22:34Um, last week. We're house-sitting.
00:22:37Yeah, I have heard that one before.
00:22:39Listen, this isn't a house-sitting.
00:22:41It's a house-sitting party.
00:22:43I don't know what you're talking about.
00:22:45It's not a house-sitting party.
00:22:47It's a house-sitting party.
00:22:49It's not a house-sitting party.
00:22:51It's a house-sitting party.
00:22:53It's a house-sitting party.
00:22:55It's a house-sitting party.
00:22:57I have heard that one before.
00:22:58Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.
00:23:00Thieves are always trying to break in.
00:23:02Who are you calling a thief?
00:23:04Please step out. Now!
00:23:08What the hell are you doing?
00:23:10Just routine inspection.
00:23:14Let's see what else you're hiding here.
00:23:24Get your filthy hands off my wife!
00:23:27No!
00:23:31Oh, cool.
00:23:33I thought I was saving you,
00:23:35but it looks like you got it.
00:23:37Oh, look out!
00:23:41Damn, lady.
00:23:43You make it look easy.
00:23:45Are you hurt?
00:23:47Just my pride.
00:23:50Looks like you get a flat.
00:23:52Let's get out of here. We can take my car.
00:23:55This is yours?
00:23:57Borrowed it from a friend.
00:23:59Right.
00:24:03I know all the guards who work here,
00:24:05and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:07Who the hell are you, man?
00:24:09Some kind of big shot or something?
00:24:11Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.
00:24:15All right.
00:24:17You're under arrest.
00:24:19What the hell is going on?
00:24:25Well,
00:24:27that didn't go as planned.
00:24:29Mama, this is all your fault.
00:24:31You pushed me to hire those thugs
00:24:33to humiliate Shelby,
00:24:35and now my money's wasted and she got off scot-free.
00:24:37Eyes on the prize, Cece.
00:24:39Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate,
00:24:41this'll be pocket change.
00:24:43Yeah.
00:24:45And who would have thought that bum
00:24:47would have got the police involved in all this mess?
00:24:49I don't believe he's a bum.
00:24:51I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?
00:24:54No matter whether he's a tramp or not,
00:24:56he married Shelby for her money.
00:24:58Offer him a better deal and he'll leave her.
00:25:00We annul the marriage
00:25:02and claim the entire estate.
00:25:06Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox
00:25:08the porter party billionaire
00:25:10looking for a new gigolo?
00:25:12That old cougar?
00:25:14Oh, Cece, honey, when they're that age,
00:25:16they're not cougars.
00:25:18They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:24Well, then we just gotta make him an offer
00:25:26he can't refuse.
00:25:34You really should have iced these right away.
00:25:36I realize that now.
00:25:38I've only ever sparred with gloves on,
00:25:40never thrown a bare-knuckle punch before.
00:25:44What?
00:25:46Did I just hand in my man card?
00:25:48No, you knocked a guy out with one punch.
00:25:50Your man card is
00:25:52fully intact.
00:25:54You just sounded like a prep school rich boy
00:25:56for a second.
00:26:02Not just for today, but
00:26:04for everything.
00:26:06It's been really lonely since my dad died and
00:26:08it's nice having someone on my side.
00:26:10There's no need to thank me.
00:26:12I am your husband.
00:26:16Close your eyes.
00:26:22Okay.
00:26:24Fair is fair.
00:26:26I owe you one.
00:26:48Sorry.
00:26:50Sorry.
00:26:52I know we're just pretending.
00:26:54Right.
00:26:56Pretending.
00:27:02I'm gonna
00:27:04go for a run.
00:27:06Okay, I'll come with...
00:27:12What if it's just me?
00:27:14Wouldn't that be ironic?
00:27:16The first woman I'm into for so long is not into me.
00:27:18Fuck!
00:27:34Griffin kissed me
00:27:36and it felt just like that night three years ago.
00:27:38What's wrong with me?
00:27:40How can I feel the
00:27:42exact same way for two different men?
00:27:48I don't know.
00:27:50He looks like a wet street dog.
00:27:52I'll shower and a haircut
00:27:54and he'll be marginally presentable.
00:27:56Hey!
00:27:58You!
00:28:02We got a proposition
00:28:04for you.
00:28:06How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?
00:28:08Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
00:28:10Get in.
00:28:12Are you sure
00:28:14he's not homeless?
00:28:16Eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:18So you want me to
00:28:20divorce Shelby
00:28:22and marry
00:28:24Victoria Wilcox,
00:28:26the shithouse billionaire?
00:28:28I don't think so.
00:28:30I don't think so.
00:28:32I don't think so.
00:28:34I don't think so.
00:28:36I don't think so.
00:28:38I don't think so.
00:28:40Come on.
00:28:44You will refer to them
00:28:46as port-a-parties, young man.
00:28:48We know you're after
00:28:50Shelby's inheritance,
00:28:52but she's never gonna see it.
00:28:54Well,
00:28:56he'll do.
00:29:00Oh.
00:29:02Oh, he'll do just nicely.
00:29:06Wait a minute.
00:29:08We've met before because you look real familiar.
00:29:10Oh.
00:29:12No.
00:29:14Nope, I don't think I run in your kinds of circles.
00:29:16I'm Miss Wilcox.
00:29:18The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:24The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:26And you will also be paid
00:29:2820 grand a month to provide
00:29:30intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:29:34Hmm.
00:29:36You don't need to worry, boy,
00:29:38because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:40because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:42Hmm. Hmm.
00:29:54I don't understand.
00:29:56This says...
00:29:58You're under arrest for pandering.
00:30:02Detective McSwain,
00:30:04has tried to recruit me
00:30:06as a sex worker.
00:30:08That's a Class C felony.
00:30:10He's lying.
00:30:14And you will also be paid 20 grand a month
00:30:16to provide
00:30:18intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:30:24Detective, Detective,
00:30:26there must be some misunderstanding.
00:30:28There's no nonsense going on here.
00:30:30No, you can't arrest me on the word of that bum.
00:30:32He set me up.
00:30:34Detective 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
00:30:48rejecting me.
00:30:50I'm a woman of wealth and power
00:30:52that you cannot fathom.
00:30:54I will make you pay very dearly
00:30:56for this.
00:30:58I don't think anyone mentioned my last name.
00:31:00It's Roy.
00:31:06Well,
00:31:08I knew you looked familiar, you see.
00:31:10I'm just an old woman.
00:31:12You could forgive me.
00:31:14Get out of my face.
00:31:18Pardon me.
00:31:22Alright, we got her in the car.
00:31:24How far do you want this to go?
00:31:26Put the fear of God in there.
00:31:28Big shot, fingerprints, the works.
00:31:30Then in the morning, drop the charges
00:31:32before the press gets wind.
00:31:34Here, so to have your hide.
00:31:36You got it, Griff.
00:31:48Where have you been?
00:31:50I was worried.
00:31:52You were gone so long.
00:31:54Yeah?
00:31:56Uh, are you hungry?
00:31:58I can heat up some leftovers.
00:32:00Yeah, I'd like that.
00:32:04Did that just happen?
00:32:06Maybe I have a shot with her after all.
00:32:18Oh, baby.
00:32:20My little girl.
00:32:22I will never forget the humiliation
00:32:24that man has caused us.
00:32:26Don't you worry, Mama.
00:32:28I have a plan.
00:32:30I had all night to think about it in that cold,
00:32:32hard cell.
00:32:34If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby, fine.
00:32:36We'll just force Shelby
00:32:38to divorce him.
00:32:40And I know just
00:32:42where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:46Amazing.
00:32:54Amazing.
00:33:02I think we shaved 30 seconds
00:33:04off that time.
00:33:06I thought I was competitive.
00:33:08You even compete with yourself.
00:33:18You're not growing.
00:33:20You're dying.
00:33:22I, um,
00:33:24I'm gonna go shower.
00:33:26Me too.
00:33:30Get a grip, Shelby.
00:33:32So he's hot.
00:33:34You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
00:33:36What makes him any different?
00:33:38He just is.
00:33:44Hey, Zara.
00:33:46Shelby, you have to get here right away.
00:33:48Buford's kicking us out the gym.
00:33:52I'm sorry.
00:33:54My hands are tied.
00:33:58He says we have to leave.
00:34:00Okay, I got this.
00:34:02Mr. Buford, what are you doing?
00:34:04This is my place of business.
00:34:06You're done here.
00:34:08I sold the building.
00:34:10The new owners want you out.
00:34:12That's illegal. I have a lease.
00:34:14They've got a break clause for new management,
00:34:16and they decided to activate it.
00:34:18Who the hell is they?
00:34:20That would be us.
00:34:24But if we can take it from here...
00:34:26Sure thing.
00:34:28Pleasure doing business with you, ladies.
00:34:30I know you used all your army money
00:34:32for this gym,
00:34:34but you can get it back.
00:34:36All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.
00:34:38Get a divorce,
00:34:40give up your inheritance,
00:34:42and then you can keep your
00:34:44dinky, smelly gym.
00:34:50I bet you want to hit me
00:34:52so bad.
00:34:54Not so tough now, are you, Shelby?
00:34:56Screw you.
00:34:58I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:35:00Oh, sorry.
00:35:02The building is now closed for...
00:35:04renovations.
00:35:06And everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:08Of course.
00:35:10You could sue,
00:35:12but that would take months.
00:35:14Well,
00:35:16what would happen to your gym now, Shelby?
00:35:18That'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.
00:35:32I won't let you take it from them.
00:35:34You can beg,
00:35:36but I won't budge.
00:35:38Be a smart girl
00:35:40and sign the papers by tomorrow,
00:35:42or you can kiss your Valkyrie
00:35:44fight club goodbye.
00:35:46And watch us turn it into
00:35:48Valkyrie
00:35:50strip club.
00:35:52Isn't that a good idea?
00:35:54There's poles and everything.
00:35:56Plenty of girls.
00:35:58They're cute.
00:36:00Cute enough.
00:36:08I'm not here because
00:36:10I'd give a damn if you win.
00:36:12I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy
00:36:14doesn't.
00:36:16Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:36:18The fuck you say?
00:36:20What exactly did Roy do
00:36:22to earn your loathing?
00:36:24He partnered up against me
00:36:26with a Xi warrior.
00:36:28I want to see them both
00:36:30destroyed.
00:36:32Well, with your connections
00:36:34and my political might,
00:36:36I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:45LaRose got Andre.
00:36:47What are we going to do about this?
00:36:49Nothing.
00:36:51We do not want these two pairing up, alright?
00:36:53This is political suicide.
00:36:55Just talk to Shelby.
00:36:57Maybe if you both apologize...
00:36:59Um, hell no. Let them do their best.
00:37:01Mark my words,
00:37:03this is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
00:37:10Hello, Shelby.
00:37:12Griffin,
00:37:14we need to talk.
00:37:22Shelby, what's going on?
00:37:24You sounded tense on the phone.
00:37:28I have so many missed moments.
00:37:30Things I should have said or done.
00:37:32Chances that were lost
00:37:34that might have been pivotal to my life.
00:37:36I don't want you to be another moment
00:37:38that I miss.
00:37:42Okay.
00:37:52You first.
00:38:12You first.
00:38:42You first.
00:39:00That was...
00:39:02fucking amazing.
00:39:12Griffin?
00:39:14Where are you going?
00:39:16Griffin?
00:39:18Griffin?
00:39:20Explain yourself.
00:39:22Toothbrush.
00:39:26PJs.
00:39:28This is Jacques.
00:39:30Why?
00:39:32You're my wife. I sleep with you now.
00:39:34We probably should have talked this through.
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:38You said you had missed moments.
00:39:40I've had them too.
00:39:42You will not be one of them.
00:39:44I know we
00:39:46said we were pretending, but
00:39:48I want to give us a chance.
00:39:50A real one.
00:39:52Oh?
00:40:10I love you.
00:40:12I love you.
00:40:14I love you.
00:40:16I love you.
00:40:18I love you.
00:40:20I love you.
00:40:22I love you.
00:40:24I love you.
00:40:26I love you.
00:40:28I love you.
00:40:30I love you.
00:40:32I love you.
00:40:34I love you.
00:40:36I love you.
00:40:38I love you.
00:40:40I love you.
00:40:42I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:40:44I love you.
00:40:46Kiss the bonnie lass, why don't ya?
00:40:48I love you.
00:40:50I love you.
00:40:52I love you.
00:41:04Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour.
00:41:06We can go over the divorce papers.
00:41:12Goodbye, my husband.
00:41:22I knew something must have happened.
00:41:30Hello.
00:41:32Pierce.
00:41:34I need you to use all your connections to find out
00:41:36what Cece and Margot Trudeau did to Shelby yesterday.
00:41:40Because of them,
00:41:42my wife is divorcing me.
00:41:44It's five in the morning.
00:41:46You have an hour.
00:41:54How did Cece get the money to buy the entire
00:41:56Rampart Drive building?
00:41:58She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral.
00:42:00Stupid.
00:42:02That's bad for them.
00:42:04And the property title?
00:42:06Still in escrow. The title hasn't been transferred yet.
00:42:08Make sure it is
00:42:10in your name.
00:42:12You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building
00:42:14on Rampart Drive.
00:42:16Oh, goody, goody.
00:42:22Talk to me, McSwain.
00:42:24I showed the fake guards in lockup Cece Trudeau's mugshot.
00:42:26You're right.
00:42:28She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife.
00:42:30Had her M.O. written all over it.
00:42:32I take it the kid gloves her off this time?
00:42:34Oh, yeah.
00:42:36Cece Trudeau thinks she's untouchable.
00:42:38Let's show her just how wrong she is.
00:42:48I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
00:42:50I definitely have.
00:42:52Showtime.
00:42:54I'm your campaign manager,
00:42:56not some hired muscle.
00:42:58Here's what I think
00:43:00about your agreement.
00:43:04Did you see that?
00:43:06She chose me, man.
00:43:08Well, hell.
00:43:10Looks like she did.
00:43:12You fucking bitch!
00:43:14That's her cue.
00:43:20Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby.
00:43:22You're gonna lose everything.
00:43:24You know, at least I still have my self-respect.
00:43:26What can I say for you?
00:43:28Don't be hasty, Cece.
00:43:30She's basically a man. You'll get hurt.
00:43:32I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine,
00:43:34but I will never
00:43:36agree to your demands.
00:43:38Reclaim what's yours?
00:43:40You're never gonna step foot in your precious gym
00:43:42ever again.
00:43:46That will be difficult to enforce
00:43:48since I now own the building.
00:43:50Who the hell are you?
00:43:52Pierce Durand.
00:43:54222 Rampart Drive.
00:43:56What?
00:43:58Your deal
00:44:00fell out of escrow.
00:44:02I swooped in and bought it.
00:44:04That's impossible. I own it.
00:44:06Let me spell this out
00:44:08in a way that even an imbecile
00:44:10will understand. I outbid you.
00:44:12The building is mine.
00:44:14Now scram.
00:44:16I never.
00:44:18Ms. Trudeau,
00:44:20I want to ensure you that your lease is secure.
00:44:22The only change
00:44:24will be a 40% rent reduction.
00:44:26That's
00:44:28unbelievable. Are you sure you can afford that?
00:44:30Oh, yeah.
00:44:32Thank you, Mr. Durand.
00:44:34The gym means a lot
00:44:36to the women in this community.
00:44:44Cece Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion.
00:44:46The fake guards identified you
00:44:48as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau.
00:44:50Okay, well,
00:44:52but that was last week. You 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!
00:45:00No, you can't take my girl!
00:45:02No, you can't take her!
00:45:04I'm coming after you. I'm never going to forget this when I get out.
00:45:06You're mine!
00:45:14Zara,
00:45:16call everyone.
00:45:18Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
00:45:28Well, aren't you going to go over there?
00:45:30You're the one that orchestrated this whole thing.
00:45:32No.
00:45:34It's her victory.
00:45:36I merely did what a husband shouldn't
00:45:38to ensure her happiness.
00:45:40That's my reward.
00:45:42That is some wild shit you just spouted.
00:45:44This girl is seriously causing you to lose it, Griff.
00:45:46You worry too much.
00:45:48And you don't worry enough.
00:45:50We have a campaign to win,
00:45:52and you're ten points behind LaRoche in all the latest polls.
00:45:54What are you driving at?
00:45:56Tell Shelby who you are.
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,
00:46:04and Neville LaRoche is going to find out and beat us to it.
00:46:06Okay.
00:46:08I'll tell her.
00:46:10I just...
00:46:12I need a few more days
00:46:14with her.
00:46:16Then I'll confess everything.
00:46:26That's Shelby Trudeau,
00:46:28owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
00:46:30Pretty girl.
00:46:32So who's she screwing?
00:46:34Duran or Roy?
00:46:36I don't know, sir.
00:46:38That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
00:46:40Those stuck-up twats
00:46:42kept going on and on
00:46:44about their precious lineages
00:46:46dating back to the Mayflower.
00:46:50Not everyone's
00:46:52white trash like you, Isabel.
00:46:56It is a wonder
00:46:58how you overcame your
00:47:00low-class origins and
00:47:02gained my interest.
00:47:04That wasn't your interest, darling.
00:47:06That was your cock.
00:47:08Too shame, my dear.
00:47:10I could add a picture of her.
00:47:12Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:47:14Well, she went by Michelle in high school.
00:47:16But yeah, that's her.
00:47:18She was a star athlete
00:47:20with an annoying habit of
00:47:22defending 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
00:47:34you two reconnect.
00:47:36Neville, no.
00:47:38Mary, no.
00:47:46It's cooling off.
00:47:48We should go inside.
00:47:50Just a few more minutes.
00:47:52Can't remember the last time
00:47:54I let myself just...
00:47:56be.
00:47:58Yeah.
00:48:00I guess when my parents were still together.
00:48:02Before the divorce,
00:48:04the cheating,
00:48:06and getting sick.
00:48:08I was carefree then.
00:48:10I joined the army after, but
00:48:12that was just another rollercoaster.
00:48:14It's kind of hard to chill
00:48:16when you're deep in hostile territory
00:48:18cutting off weapons supply routes.
00:48:20I'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.
00:48:30I know.
00:48:36Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:48:44I guess I can wait
00:48:46one more day.
00:48:54Our most sought-after place at Valkyrie
00:48:56is our women's self-defense kickboxing.
00:49:00Sign me up.
00:49:02Oh shit, Isabel.
00:49:04The girl who made my life
00:49:06and everyone else's a living hell in high school.
00:49:08What sneaky BS is she up to?
00:49:12Oh my gosh, Michelle? Is it you?
00:49:14I go by Shelby now.
00:49:16You look amazing!
00:49:18Michelle... Shelby
00:49:20and I go way back.
00:49:22Gosh, what a small world.
00:49:24Well, for our membership
00:49:26we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
00:49:28How about
00:49:30I pay up front for three years
00:49:32and I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join.
00:49:36You know, if you're really serious about this
00:49:38you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:49:44I was a mean girl in high school
00:49:46and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:49:48What you've built here is so empowering.
00:49:50If I had had something like this
00:49:52growing up, then maybe I would have
00:49:54found the courage to
00:49:56stop my pa from all the
00:49:58horrible 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?
00:50:08Okay.
00:50:18This is so awesome!
00:50:20How about lunch?
00:50:22I'm free to grab a bite right now.
00:50:24Shut up.
00:50:26Okay.
00:50:28Let me grab my bag.
00:50:38Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform
00:50:40the heart of his campaign.
00:50:42He's pro-union and has a five-point
00:50:44plan to improve workplace
00:50:46safety regulations.
00:50:48Shit!
00:50:50No, not you.
00:50:52I'll call you back.
00:51:02LaRoche knows about Shelby.
00:51:04He's sicked Isabelle on her.
00:51:06Look, here's her Instagram.
00:51:08What the fuck?
00:51:10LaRoche's oppo research must have tagged her.
00:51:12Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
00:51:14Screw the narrative, it's a trap.
00:51:16They've got my wife.
00:51:22I thought
00:51:24this was supposed to be a quick bite.
00:51:26I have a business to run, you know.
00:51:28You haven't changed a bit since high school.
00:51:30So dedicated. I've always admired
00:51:32that about you.
00:51:34Alright, cut the crap, Izzy.
00:51:36Others might buy your ladylike
00:51:38act, but I know you're still the same
00:51:40vicious bully inside.
00:51:42You didn't come to my gym
00:51:44by accident. What's your angle?
00:51:46Neville asked me to befriend you.
00:51:48I don't want to be here.
00:51:50Just add that to the list of reasons
00:51:52why I fucking loathe you.
00:51:54What's my angle, Shelby?
00:51:58The complete and utter destruction
00:52:00of Griffin Roy.
00:52:02And if I can take you down with him,
00:52:04all the better.
00:52:10Shelby, listen to me.
00:52:12The press are on their way. I don't have time to explain,
00:52:14but I fucked up. You have to get out
00:52:16of that restaurant. Now.
00:52:20Too late to run.
00:52:22My hubby's here.
00:52:24Leaving so soon, Ms. Trudeau.
00:52:26Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
00:52:30Come on, Shelby!
00:52:32Pick up! Let me know you got out of there!
00:52:36Who the hell are you?
00:52:38Congressman. Neville LaRoche.
00:52:40I understand why your husband
00:52:42probably never mentioned me.
00:52:44Seems 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
00:52:50until after I arrived.
00:52:52No matter.
00:52:54We'll do this the less genteel
00:52:56way if we must.
00:52:58Both of these men
00:53:00are retired Navy SEALs.
00:53:02I've heard a lot about your fighting skills.
00:53:04So,
00:53:06I came prepared.
00:53:12What's this about?
00:53:14What's this about?
00:53:16I spoke with your stepmother.
00:53:18My girl.
00:53:20She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:22It seems Roy
00:53:24has led you to believe that he's some bum.
00:53:26On the streets.
00:53:28When actually, he's just about
00:53:30one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:53:32I can't believe you fell
00:53:34for that. Not so smart
00:53:36now, are you, Shelby?
00:53:38You're lying.
00:53:40You are Roy's
00:53:42secret bride.
00:53:44A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide
00:53:46the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:53:48When the press arrives,
00:53:50you will share your story
00:53:52of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana
00:53:54so that they may know
00:53:56what kind of man Roy really is.
00:54:08I got it.
00:54:10Let me go.
00:54:12Shelby, please.
00:54:14Why did you keep your marriage
00:54:16a secret? The voters have a right to know.
00:54:18What else are you hiding?
00:54:20You son of a bitch.
00:54:22I'm now Roy.
00:54:24Don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes.
00:54:36Shelby.
00:54:38Shelby, please, hear me out.
00:54:40Don't shell
00:54:42me.
00:54:44All of your charm, it's just a lie.
00:54:46I never meant
00:54:48to let it get this far. I planned on coming
00:54:50clean. More lies, Griffin Roy?
00:54:52I 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?
00:54:58Did you actually think I'd come
00:55:00after you for your money?
00:55:02That was always a possibility.
00:55:04Get away
00:55:06from my house. This is technically
00:55:08my home.
00:55:10How's sitting my ass?
00:55:12You are the worst
00:55:14and I never want to see you again.
00:55:18Shelby.
00:55:24Congressional candidate
00:55:26Griffin Roy has a secret bride.
00:55:28Our reporter is...
00:55:38You gotta get a sip of that?
00:56:08This 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 owe you anything.
00:56:50Oh Shelby,
00:56:52Shelby, come out would you please?
00:56:56I wake up in the morning
00:56:58and reach for you,
00:57:00but you're not there.
00:57:06I can't breathe
00:57:08at the thought of losing you.
00:57:12Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:16You're ridiculous.
00:57:18You do know that, don't you?
00:57:20Oh Shelby,
00:57:22Shelby, don't leave me hanging.
00:57:24What are you doing?
00:57:26You're supposed to turn it on.
00:57:28Yeah.
00:57:30I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:32It's broken.
00:57:34Guy totally scammed me.
00:57:36You are beyond ridiculous.
00:57:38Please, Shelby,
00:57:40I didn't say
00:57:42what I wanted to before.
00:57:44Just give me a chance to explain.
00:57:48Fine.
00:57:50Come in, you fool.
00:57:52Yeah, I'll come in
00:57:54on my own.
00:57:58You have two minutes.
00:58:04Growing up
00:58:06as a Roy,
00:58:08no one ever liked me for me.
00:58:10It's always been about
00:58:12the money,
00:58:14the excess.
00:58:16Then
00:58:18at a moment
00:58:20three years ago
00:58:22where someone did
00:58:24like me for me,
00:58:26they had no idea
00:58:28who I was.
00:58:30And I just remember
00:58:32how freeing
00:58:34it felt.
00:58:38So when I met you
00:58:40and I felt that spark
00:58:42I've been searching for,
00:58:44I didn't think.
00:58:46I just
00:58:48fucking left.
00:58:50Why wait so long to tell me?
00:58:52I've never gone into
00:58:54enemy territory to cut off
00:58:56weapons supply routes.
00:58:58I boxed in prep school
00:59:00Yep,
00:59:02you got that right.
00:59:04But otherwise,
00:59:06I've always been more of a lover
00:59:08rather than a fighter.
00:59:10And I've done well as a lawyer.
00:59:12But I did not
00:59:14earn those billions.
00:59:16I inherited them
00:59:18from
00:59:20generations
00:59:22of dickheads.
00:59:24When you meet a girl, it's a total package.
00:59:26You just want to
00:59:28be her total package too.
00:59:30You really are ridiculous.
00:59:32You know,
00:59:34I have laughed more with you in the past
00:59:36two weeks than I have in my entire life.
00:59:38I'm way too serious,
00:59:40Griffin.
00:59:42Sometimes I forget how to let go.
00:59:44But with you, every day is fun.
00:59:46So,
00:59:48does that mean you forgive me?
00:59:50I'm thinking about it.
00:59:54Yeah.
00:59:56You think too much.
00:59:58Time for make-up sex.
01:00:04So, that's make-up sex.
01:00:06Yeah.
01:00:10Griffin,
01:00:12it hurts so much thinking we were over.
01:00:16I never want to feel like that again.
01:00:18I promise not to
01:00:20let anything get in between us.
01:00:26This changes everything.
01:00:28No, thanks for the heads up.
01:00:30I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried
01:00:32for as long as possible.
01:00:42Ron?
01:00:44I want to stay right here.
01:00:46I want to stay right here.
01:00:56Where the hell are you, Griff?
01:00:58This is DEFCON 1.
01:01:00Hey, man.
01:01:02Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:04Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:10Come on.
01:01:12Come on.
01:01:16How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:18We've known each other since college.
01:01:20What are you talking about?
01:01:22Didn't you get any of my texts or calls?
01:01:24I must have forgot to charge it.
01:01:26I had quite a night last night.
01:01:28Shelby and I made up.
01:01:30She's forgiven me.
01:01:32Well, she won't forgive you for this.
01:01:36You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy.
01:01:42I don't even know who that is.
01:01:44Well, you knew her well enough to marry her
01:01:46three years ago.
01:01:50This can't be right.
01:01:52I got it from a parish clerk.
01:01:54She's agreed to keep it hush-hush for now.
01:01:56The ceremony was conducted at a church.
01:01:58The priest signed and completed
01:02:00the marriage certificate.
01:02:02Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:02:06I now pronounce ye man and wife.
01:02:08The masked girl from Mardi Gras.
01:02:10I finally know her name.
01:02:12Michelle.
01:02:14Shit.
01:02:16That finally makes sense.
01:02:18Of course you wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist.
01:02:20Shelby.
01:02:22Fuck.
01:02:24What am I going to tell her?
01:02:26Look, it could still be one big mistake.
01:02:28I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:38I have something for you.
01:02:48I hacked into the parish database.
01:02:50Griffin Roy is legally married to
01:02:52both Michelle Lane and Shelby Trudeau.
01:02:54That's it.
01:02:56He's finished.
01:02:58Griffin Roy will be in jail
01:03:00for bigamy for cocktail hour.
01:03:02Michelle Lane is
01:03:04Shelby Trudeau.
01:03:06They're legally married to each other
01:03:08on two separate occasions.
01:03:10They just don't know it yet.
01:03:12That's insane.
01:03:14Check the date.
01:03:16They got married the first time during Mardi Gras.
01:03:18Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated.
01:03:20We could use that angle.
01:03:22Yeah, the romance is already trending.
01:03:24He made an idiot of himself
01:03:26with that boombox and voters.
01:03:28Oh, they're just eating it up.
01:03:30He's catching up in the polls.
01:03:32Now
01:03:34Roy unknowingly marries twice
01:03:36the girl he's been searching for
01:03:38since Mardi Gras.
01:03:40This will make them seem like some
01:03:42fated love story.
01:03:46This will make them seem like some
01:03:48fated love story.
01:03:52We got nothing on him.
01:03:54Honey, we've got everything
01:03:56we need.
01:03:58What they don't know can definitely hurt them.
01:04:00And right now, to Griffin Roy,
01:04:02Michelle Lane could be
01:04:04anybody.
01:04:08You would have given Machiavelli a run
01:04:10for his money, my dear.
01:04:12Who?
01:04:14Well,
01:04:16we have a very limited window
01:04:18to make this work.
01:04:20We will hit hard
01:04:22but fast.
01:04:26What is she going to say when I tell her
01:04:28that I'm married?
01:04:32Alright ladies, good job.
01:04:34That's it for tonight. Remember,
01:04:36this weekend's Mardi Gras. Have fun,
01:04:38but you know what to do if anybody messes with you.
01:04:40Nice work.
01:04:42Hi.
01:04:44Hungry?
01:04:48Yeah, so, uh,
01:04:50today's class went super well.
01:04:52Two new students. They really did pick up on a lot of things.
01:04:54You're everything I've ever wanted.
01:04:56Everything I didn't even
01:04:58dare to dream. You're it for me.
01:05:00I can't lose you.
01:05:02Griffin, are you okay?
01:05:06Yeah.
01:05:08Just some stuff for the campaign.
01:05:10I want to help.
01:05:12LaRoche can't win.
01:05:14He and Isabel are evil.
01:05:16You're the kind of man that people need.
01:05:18I can't imagine anyone else
01:05:20but myself.
01:05:22I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
01:05:24We will plan a siege
01:05:26that 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. That special spark.
01:05:46I don't see it often
01:05:48in couples, but when I do,
01:05:50it 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,
01:05:58dying to tie the knot. There was no stopping you.
01:06:00I was drunk.
01:06:02Drunk with love.
01:06:04The man I married knew what he was doing.
01:06:06I mean, how is this even legal?
01:06:08New Orleans has a 24-hour
01:06:10waiting period. Unless the judge waives it.
01:06:12Son of a bitch.
01:06:14Who was it? He was your best man.
01:06:16You called him Remy.
01:06:18Remy Cal...
01:06:20That bastard.
01:06:22No wonder he always had that stupid smirk
01:06:24on his face whenever I stood before him in court.
01:06:26Fuck!
01:06:28Fuck!
01:06:32I don't care.
01:06:34I don't care.
01:06:36We need to annul the marriage now. I love my wife.
01:06:38You're in a bit of a pickle.
01:06:40Because in my book,
01:06:42you love Joe the wife as well.
01:06:44Sir.
01:06:46Mrs. Rose in your office
01:06:48with Mr. Durand.
01:06:50Shelby.
01:06:54Griffin, this is the woman
01:06:56you've been looking for.
01:06:58This is Michelle Lane.
01:07:00Hi, Griffin.
01:07:02You might not remember me,
01:07:04but we got married three years ago.
01:07:06So 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,
01:07:22how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:24That is the least of your worries.
01:07:26All right, chop-chop.
01:07:28I'm sorry.
01:07:30Now, action.
01:07:34Hi, Griffin.
01:07:36You might not remember me,
01:07:38but we got married three years ago.
01:07:40It was Mardi Gras.
01:07:42We were completely wasted,
01:07:44and we ended up in some church
01:07:46with an Irish priest.
01:07:48We had a wild night at the hotel,
01:07:50and well,
01:07:52I think I'm going to die.
01:07:54I'm going to die.
01:07:56I'm going to die.
01:07:58Well and well.
01:08:00Fleur was the happy accident
01:08:02nine 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, we were.
01:08:14By the time I found out I was pregnant,
01:08:16two months had passed.
01:08:18I've been trying to find you ever since,
01:08:20but it wasn't until I saw one of your ads for Congress
01:08:22that I recognized your voice.
01:08:24It was a miracle.
01:08:26Watch, she's losing him.
01:08:28Tone it down. Tone it down.
01:08:32Listen, lady,
01:08:34I don't know who you're trying to con with this act.
01:08:36Griffin, don't.
01:08:38But there is no way
01:08:40in hell that I'm married to you.
01:08:42What's going on, Griffin?
01:08:46Is this woman really your wife?
01:08:52No, she's not. We don't know.
01:08:54Which is it?
01:08:56You are my wife. Only 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. No lawyers.
01:09:08We don't need to involve any authorities.
01:09:10This can all be solved
01:09:12with a simple DNA test.
01:09:14Pierce, this woman
01:09:16is a fraud. Griffin, think about it.
01:09:18She says Fleur is your daughter.
01:09:20One little test, and that'll prove
01:09:22if she's lying or not.
01:09:24We need to know, Griffin.
01:09:26I need to know.
01:09:28Fine.
01:09:30But I don't want these doubts to fester.
01:09:32We can rush the DNA results and get them back in a few hours.
01:09:34Might I suggest a more private setting?
01:09:36Less eyes.
01:09:38Understood.
01:09:40We can wait back at my house
01:09:42for the results to come.
01:09:48We've got him.
01:09:50You're up.
01:10:20No, no, no, no.
01:10:22You could.
01:10:24Don't.
01:10:26Just don't.
01:10:28Shelby, go upstairs.
01:10:30She fed them snacks and then
01:10:32locked herself in the guest room.
01:10:36I can't lose her, Pierce.
01:10:40I won't.
01:10:42Moment of truth, buddy.
01:11:08Fleur?
01:11:10Fleur?
01:11:12Meet your daddy.
01:11:14I will, of course,
01:11:16provide for you both
01:11:18financially.
01:11:20Fleur doesn't need a checkbook. She needs a father.
01:11:22A father?
01:11:38What do you want?
01:11:40The guest bedroom is empty.
01:11:44You and Fleur can stay there.
01:11:48Shelby, just
01:11:50don'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
01:12:00at the same time and you have a child
01:12:02with one of them.
01:12:04We need to get a divorce.
01:12:10She's right, Griff.
01:12:12Griffin, you have a daughter now.
01:12:14You're a father and you have to
01:12:16put your child first.
01:12:18I can't be Marco.
01:12:20I won't do that to another little girl.
01:12:24I've spent my whole life
01:12:26looking 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?
01:12:44Shelby's dedicated her life to
01:12:46saving people. It's not her nature
01:12:48to put herself first.
01:12:50Oh, you're a scary woman.
01:12:52I know.
01:13:08So this is what it feels like to have your
01:13:10heart shattered?
01:13:16Yes.
01:13:46That's strange.
01:14:04I thought I heard something.
01:14:16It's like she was never here.
01:14:46Hey, mister?
01:14:48Will you marry me?
01:14:52She took everything but left this behind.
01:14:54Message received,
01:14:56Shelby.
01:15:06What the hell is this?
01:15:10I know this sounds crazy,
01:15:12but it's true.
01:15:14I know this sounds crazy,
01:15:16and there's no time to explain, but
01:15:18if you help me, I promise a generous
01:15:20reward once I get my inheritance.
01:15:22This place is insane.
01:15:24The owner must really trust you.
01:15:30Could it be?
01:15:32It's her.
01:15:34It's always been her.
01:15:40Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:42As soon as you saw the forged DNA test,
01:15:44it was a done deal.
01:15:46Who is she working for?
01:15:48How long am I supposed to stay here
01:15:50while you take care of Shelby?
01:15:52Give me a name. Come on, just one name.
01:15:54I don't know.
01:15:56I don't know.
01:15:58I don't know.
01:16:00Give me a name. Come on, just one name.
01:16:02Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting
01:16:04it close. I want to be long gone when he
01:16:06finds out she's dead.
01:16:08Where is
01:16:10Shelby? Where is my wife?
01:16:12Where is Isabelle 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
01:16:18life, and your daughter will grow up in a
01:16:20fucking orphanage!
01:16:22I don't know where she is. If I knew, I'd
01:16:24tell you, I swear.
01:16:30What
01:16:32is
01:16:34wrong
01:16:36with me?
01:16:40Help!
01:16:42Somebody help!
01:16:44Do you need
01:16:46some water?
01:16:48Oh wait, I see you've already had some.
01:16:50You poisoned
01:16:52me? Why?
01:16:54Why?
01:16:56Why?
01:16:58Why?
01:17:00Where to begin?
01:17:04Lingering high school issues, offs.
01:17:06I'm helping Neville's campaign.
01:17:08Duh.
01:17:10But the real reason, the one that cuts
01:17:12deep, is to make Griffin
01:17:14Roy think he's a bigamist.
01:17:16By the time he
01:17:18figures out he married the same woman
01:17:20twice, he'll have gone
01:17:22missing, vanished without a trace.
01:17:24He'll
01:17:26be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:17:28Later, when an anonymous
01:17:30tip tells the police where to find your body,
01:17:32suspicion will follow Griffin
01:17:34for the rest of his life.
01:17:36Any political future he may have had
01:17:38will be as dead as you.
01:17:40Net?
01:17:42Back up.
01:17:44Married? Twice?
01:17:46Who's the
01:17:48the woman
01:17:50in the little girl?
01:17:52Oh, just some cheap
01:17:54whore I hired to tell your husband
01:17:56that they've been married for the past three years.
01:17:58When really,
01:18:00it's been you all along.
01:18:02You've been searching for each other
01:18:04all this time.
01:18:06But now he'll never find you.
01:18:08Alright, boys.
01:18:10She's all yours.
01:18:16I told you
01:18:18I'd get you back.
01:18:22Miss
01:18:24Tudor,
01:18:26why are you here?
01:18:28My daughter, my baby
01:18:30is here. I'm scared she's gonna do
01:18:32something terrible.
01:18:34What do you mean terrible? What's going on?
01:18:36I sold everything
01:18:38to get her out on bail
01:18:40and what does she do in return?
01:18:42She's gone crazy.
01:18:44Stuck in Shelby.
01:18:46She tailed her to some
01:18:48hotel in the French Quarter.
01:18:50It's cold.
01:18:52What hotel?
01:18:54Excuse me, sir. My sister's staying here
01:18:56but I've forgotten her room number.
01:18:58Is Shelby Trudeau?
01:19:00Sorry, ma'am. We can't disclose any guest information.
01:19:10Shelby.
01:19:12Come out.
01:19:14Come out wherever you are.
01:19:20I think
01:19:22I'll do it with my bare hands.
01:19:24Make some more personal.
01:19:26Actually, do me a favor.
01:19:28Leave a lot of marks
01:19:30on that vase of hers.
01:19:32Fuck you.
01:19:34I want people to see that she suffered
01:19:36a lot.
01:19:38Oh, trust me.
01:19:40She will.
01:19:42Come on. Let's get this party started.
01:19:44Come on. Let's get this party started.
01:20:00Look what you've done.
01:20:04Pansy-ass slap.
01:20:08She's stalling
01:20:10and you're falling for it.
01:20:12Damn. Can't go to the valet
01:20:14smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:16I'll never give you your car keys.
01:20:18Shelby has clothes over there.
01:20:20Change.
01:20:22I'll take care of me. You go take care of her.
01:20:32Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Blaine.
01:20:34It was after her parents
01:20:36divorced at her mother's request.
01:20:38She only returned to her original name
01:20:40when her mother passed three years ago.
01:20:44Starting to make sense now.
01:20:46It was harder on my mom.
01:20:48She didn't want anything to do with him
01:20:50so I cut him off too.
01:20:52Even started using my mom's maiden name.
01:20:54She's the one you've been looking for.
01:20:56It's been her all this time.
01:20:58How could it be so blind?
01:21:00Of course it had to be Shelby.
01:21:02It had to be her.
01:21:04My heart knew
01:21:06what my brain couldn't see.
01:21:08Your 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.
01:21:30Stop right there.
01:21:32Stop right there.
01:21:38Not so fast.
01:21:42Riffin fucking Roy.
01:21:44Finally joined the party.
01:21:46I'm here for my wife.
01:21:48Not gonna happen, brah.
01:21:50What you've done here is aggravated assault
01:21:52but if you leave this hotel with her
01:21:54it's kidnapping.
01:21:56That is a federal crime.
01:21:58They'll bring in the FBI.
01:22:00Someone 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. Hang in there, buddy.
01:22:12You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:22:30Give me my wife back now!
01:22:50Shelby, are you alright?
01:23:00I'm fine.
01:23:02I'm fine.
01:23:28Griff, my god.
01:23:30Do you need a little attention?
01:23:32No, but they do.
01:23:42I guess I renewed my man card.
01:23:44Sure did, honey.
01:23:46Fucked him up real good.
01:23:50Oh lord, please tell me there's something other than
01:23:52fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:24:00Shelby!
01:24:02You little bitch!
01:24:04Didn't I say I'd come back here
01:24:06and settle the score?
01:24:08What?
01:24:10That's not Shelby!
01:24:14Put your hands up where I can see them.
01:24:20This is the last one.
01:24:22Hey, hey, hey. I 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.
01:24:40Griffin, Isabel said something
01:24:42and I want to believe it, but
01:24:44three years ago,
01:24:46did we...
01:24:50You left us.
01:24:58It's true.
01:25:00I can't believe
01:25:02I finally found you.
01:25:04I looked for you in the face of
01:25:06every woman I ever met.
01:25:08Why'd you never come back?
01:25:10I'm sorry.
01:25:28It's called a walk of shame,
01:25:30not a laugh of it.
01:25:32Mind your own business, Cece.
01:25:34Look at you, Shelby.
01:25:36One Mardi Gras hookup and you think you found
01:25:38That's not how life works.
01:25:40Sure, he may have liked you with a mask on,
01:25:42but 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
01:25:50you'll see that you're just the clueless chick
01:25:52who didn't know the score.
01:25:54You'll embarrass yourself.
01:25:56And more importantly,
01:25:58you'll embarrass him.
01:26:04I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:26:06I'm sorry I let her get to me.
01:26:08But to be honest,
01:26:10what we had seemed too good to be true.
01:26:12How often do people
01:26:14fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:26:16Exactly.
01:26:20But I did.
01:26:22And 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
01:26:34happily ever after.
01:26:36Shelby,
01:26:38will you...
01:26:40Yes, Gryffinroy.
01:26:44I will always love you.
01:26:46In this life or the next.
