00:00:00Hey mister, will you marry me?
00:00:08Shelby Trudeau must be married by 5 o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:12I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau, I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:15Who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:00:16The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:00:21Alright, let's get married.
00:00:22I can't keep living in the past.
00:00:23Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:00:24Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:00:25You're a public figure.
00:00:26How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:00:32The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a boy.
00:00:33She liked me for me.
00:00:34I want that again.
00:00:35You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:00:36Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:00:37I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:00:38How pathetic and pointless.
00:00:39Look how in love we are.
00:00:40Sometimes I forget how to let go.
00:00:41But with you, every day is fun.
00:00:42Actually, he's just about right.
00:00:43a woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:01:03We need to get a divorce.
00:01:04I mean, I've spent my whole life looking for you.
00:01:08Sometimes love isn't enough.
00:01:09Could it be?
00:01:14It's her.
00:01:15It's always been her.
00:01:16How can it be so blind?
00:01:35I'm bored.
00:01:38According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau,
00:01:43must be married by five o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:49That unlady-like girl is not my daughter.
00:01:52Bad enough I'm her stepmother.
00:01:54My, hello.
00:01:55We want Shelby to know she'll.
00:01:57That's the way we get everything.
00:02:00I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
00:02:12I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:02:15Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.
00:02:18Dressed in your old uniform.
00:02:20Pathetic.
00:02:21Still trying to play hero.
00:02:23I'm in the Army Reserve now, CC.
00:02:25I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:02:27The will, please.
00:02:30Ooh, the Army Reserve.
00:02:33Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier.
00:02:36No one would have missed you.
00:02:37Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:02:41Look, you don't have to respect me,
00:02:43but don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on the battlefield.
00:02:47Look around, CC.
00:02:49Your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:02:51Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
00:02:55You have freedom and peace
00:02:57because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:03:05Of course.
00:03:06The will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:03:08And I want to thank you for your service.
00:03:15Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours
00:03:18only if signed by both you and your spouse.
00:03:23Ooh!
00:03:25That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:28Tick tock.
00:03:41Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:03:43I'll give up your inheritance and I'll give you one percent.
00:03:46Better than nothing.
00:03:49You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:03:51You will not take what he left me.
00:03:54And what this money could do to help the gym
00:03:56and all the women that are part of it.
00:04:00Really, Shelby?
00:04:02Who's gonna marry you anyhow?
00:04:04The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand
00:04:06three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:04:21Don't. Keep the mystery.
00:04:26You've already lost, Shelby.
00:04:28Take the one percent I'm offering
00:04:30and be grateful for it.
00:04:32Right. You're not even gonna find a bum on the street
00:04:34to marry you in time.
00:04:38Watch me.
00:04:43Watch me.
00:04:51Watch me.
00:04:58Don't worry.
00:05:05He looks single.
00:05:07Oh my God, this is totally FUBAR.
00:05:11Suck it up, soldier.
00:05:13You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:05:18Hey, mister?
00:05:20Will you marry me?
00:05:30I know this sounds crazy
00:05:32and there's no time to explain, but
00:05:34if you help me, I promise a generous reward
00:05:36once I get my inheritance.
00:05:38Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:40So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:05:42Do I look like a homeless person to her?
00:05:44Priceless.
00:05:47Shelby Strudeau, you insane!
00:05:50You can't marry this...
00:05:52Help-o.
00:05:55Shelby Strudeau,
00:05:57the late Judge Strudeau's eldest daughter.
00:05:59That's right, the judge said she was a soldier.
00:06:01He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:06:04Here's a few bucks.
00:06:06Take it and get lost.
00:06:08Don't meddle in our business.
00:06:10Don't speak to him like that.
00:06:12He's a person with feelings.
00:06:15The Cinderella Tale,
00:06:17complete with an evil stepmother
00:06:19It's clear who deserves my help
00:06:21and the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:06:23Alright,
00:06:25let's get married.
00:06:41Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:43Shelby Strudeau.
00:06:46And your name is?
00:06:49Griffin Roy.
00:07:10And congratulations, you
00:07:12lovebirds.
00:07:19This isn't over.
00:07:21Tell her!
00:07:27Sergeant Trudeau,
00:07:29Mrs. Roy,
00:07:31you have to stay married for at least
00:07:33one full year
00:07:35or everything goes to your stepmother
00:07:37and stepsister.
00:07:39You hear that, Shelby?
00:07:41You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:43Come on, guys.
00:07:49I guess we'll need to keep in touch
00:07:51but you probably don't have a
00:07:53permanent address.
00:07:55Once the estate gets settled
00:07:57and I have the money, we can get you an apartment
00:07:59and set you up with a job.
00:08:01When most people get what they wanted
00:08:03they usually just walk away.
00:08:05I'm really sorry, Shelby.
00:08:07I'm really sorry.
00:08:09When most people get what they wanted
00:08:11they usually just walk away.
00:08:13I'm not most people.
00:08:15I see that.
00:08:23I gotta return this.
00:08:25Goodbye for now.
00:08:29Goodbye, wife.
00:08:39Where the hell have you been?
00:08:57Gotcha.
00:08:59Seriously?
00:09:01This is over the top, even for you.
00:09:05This DNA
00:09:08Get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:09:10Look, as your campaign manager
00:09:12I need you to be more focused
00:09:14on your image, okay?
00:09:16Don't ever catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
00:09:22Marrying Isabel was the best
00:09:24decision of my life.
00:09:26You know,
00:09:28when you elected me to Congress three years ago
00:09:30you got a package deal.
00:09:32Griffin Roy, just another
00:09:34billionaire bachelor, playboy
00:09:36I'm a lawyer, at best.
00:09:38This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:09:40In a snap, I can line up
00:09:42a dozen beautiful, successful
00:09:44women who want me for what I am,
00:09:46not who I am.
00:09:48Look, you can't keep pining over some girl
00:09:50you met three years ago.
00:09:52It's not just some girl.
00:09:54We had a connection.
00:09:56Never had that before.
00:10:02Look, I gotta run.
00:10:05You need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
00:10:07Someone real.
00:10:09Not this made-up mystery girl
00:10:11you've built up in your head.
00:10:29Remember that true strength
00:10:31is not physical. It comes from the belief
00:10:33that you are worth defending.
00:10:35Alright guys, that's class.
00:10:37Nice work.
00:10:43So what's the latest
00:10:45on the STD super spreader?
00:10:47I tried to call him, but
00:10:49Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:10:51Who knows how many other women
00:10:53he's done this to.
00:10:55So, I was thinking
00:10:57maybe it's time to go by his place
00:10:59and confront him in person.
00:11:01What's holding you back?
00:11:03Andre's no regular guy, Shelby.
00:11:05He's got a bro pack.
00:11:07These men are like wolves with mutton.
00:11:09Let's go.
00:11:11We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:31What's your name?
00:11:33I'm Stephanie.
00:11:35How about a drink, huh?
00:11:37Oh, that's okay.
00:11:39Come on, one little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:41Okay, one drink.
00:11:43Really, Pierce, this clown
00:11:45is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:11:47You wanna beat LaRoche, you gotta mingle
00:11:49with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:11:57I can't believe I slept with that.
00:12:00I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:12:02I mean, the night was just
00:12:04one big black hole.
00:12:06It wasn't the alcohol that caused
00:12:08you to black out.
00:12:12Thanks.
00:12:14That creep.
00:12:16You dickless loser.
00:12:18Drugging girls to get laid.
00:12:20What the fuck?
00:12:22Get out of my house, skank.
00:12:24I'm the skank?
00:12:26That's funny.
00:12:28You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:12:30Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:12:32Unless you're back for more,
00:12:34I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:12:36You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:12:38I just told you that you have chlamydia.
00:12:40I don't.
00:12:42I don't.
00:12:44I don't.
00:12:47I just told you that you have chlamydia and you...
00:12:49Oh my god.
00:12:51You already know you have it.
00:12:53And you don't care.
00:12:55Ladies!
00:12:57Andre Ivanov
00:12:59has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
00:13:07What is she doing here?
00:13:09Both of you, get out of here.
00:13:11Oh shit.
00:13:13She can't know who I am yet.
00:13:19Do you know who I am?
00:13:21I don't care.
00:13:27Where did she come from?
00:13:29That's my wife.
00:13:31Isn't she amazing?
00:13:33And she's going to cost you Andre once he finds out you're married to her?
00:13:35I don't care.
00:13:37You think you can crash my party
00:13:39and put that ninja shit on me?
00:13:41You are one dead bitch.
00:13:55Nice.
00:13:57Did you see that combo?
00:13:59Dude, she can fight.
00:14:01Look at her form, man.
00:14:05She can really fight, man.
00:14:08Hey,
00:14:10swap me jackets.
00:14:12I'll give you my Rolex.
00:14:14Fuck.
00:14:36Fuck you, Roy.
00:14:38I'll do everything I can to end you.
00:14:40We should get out of here.
00:14:43Get him!
00:14:49You lied to me.
00:14:51You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:53When did I say I was homeless?
00:14:55You were next to a dumpster.
00:14:57That's not much of a leap.
00:14:59What were you doing at this party?
00:15:01Working the room.
00:15:03Oh, I thought you were one of those asshole rich guys.
00:15:05I'm sorry.
00:15:07I hope I didn't cost you your job.
00:15:09I know how you can make it up to me.
00:15:11My place is nearby.
00:15:13I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
00:15:15Wow.
00:15:17A wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:15:19I'm one lucky man.
00:15:21Don't push it.
00:15:31Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:37This is nice.
00:15:39I haven't had a home cooked meal in a long time.
00:15:41It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.
00:15:43How long were you in the military?
00:15:45Seven years.
00:15:47I joined right after high school.
00:15:49My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.
00:15:51You weren't close with your father?
00:15:53I was.
00:15:55He was my hero.
00:15:57Until he wasn't.
00:16:01He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:16:03He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
00:16:05It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:16:08It must have been really hard for you.
00:16:10It was harder on my mom.
00:16:12She didn't want anything to do with him.
00:16:14So I cut him off too.
00:16:16Even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:16:18But then three years ago he reached out.
00:16:20Told me he was sick.
00:16:22So I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:16:24Here I am.
00:16:26Here you are.
00:16:28Enough about me.
00:16:30What's your story, Griffin Roy?
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:34Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:16:36We know you're in there, Shelby.
00:16:38The light is on.
00:16:40We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:42We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:44Hey.
00:16:46I'll handle this.
00:16:52Oh.
00:16:54I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling.
00:16:56But it's just you two.
00:16:58And you are?
00:17:00That's that homeless guy that Shelby married.
00:17:02What are you doing here?
00:17:05He's my husband, after all.
00:17:07Mama, what are we going to do?
00:17:09We need to challenge the will.
00:17:11But how can we do that if they're still together?
00:17:13Shut up, Cece.
00:17:15Oh, I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:17:17How pathetic and pointless.
00:17:19Look how in love we are.
00:17:21I'll be back.
00:17:23Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:17:25Right.
00:17:27We're going to shred that will
00:17:29and your shame of marriage in no time.
00:17:35Margot and Cece are going to be a problem.
00:17:37There's no way they'll let us be.
00:17:39What if we moved in together?
00:17:41You want to live here?
00:17:43No.
00:17:45Somewhere with better security.
00:17:47Like my place.
00:17:49Sure.
00:17:51I'm dying to see where you live.
00:17:53So, let me get this straight.
00:17:55You told her you're house-sitting?
00:17:57That's right.
00:17:59Said I was going to watch the house
00:18:01while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:18:03You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:05Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:11I saw you from across the street.
00:18:13I'm sorry.
00:18:15I'm sorry.
00:18:17I'm sorry.
00:18:19I'm sorry.
00:18:21I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.
00:18:23That's very flattering
00:18:25but you don't know anything about me.
00:18:27I know you take my breath away
00:18:29and I know that I would wonder
00:18:31for the rest of my life if I didn't take this chance
00:18:33even if it was only for one night.
00:18:35Maybe it's better this way.
00:18:37No names.
00:18:39No past.
00:18:41We can just be ourselves.
00:18:43I'd like that very much.
00:18:47The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
00:18:50She liked me for me.
00:18:52And I want that again, Pierce.
00:18:54Even for a little while.
00:19:04Stash all this stuff
00:19:06in the garage, please.
00:19:08Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:19:10A lot of people know who you are.
00:19:12How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:19:14I don't know.
00:19:16But I have a chance to be with someone
00:19:18without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
00:19:20Well, just remember
00:19:22we're about to launch a multi-platform campaign
00:19:24in two weeks.
00:19:26TV, radio, social,
00:19:28billboards.
00:19:30Your face is about to be everywhere.
00:19:32Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.
00:19:48This place is insane.
00:19:50The owner must really trust you.
00:19:52Yep.
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.
00:20:08Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:20:18Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:20:26I take it things are going well
00:20:28with Xena Warrior Princess.
00:20:30Oh, she's so exciting.
00:20:32And competitive.
00:20:34Keeps me on my toes.
00:20:36And so damn beautiful.
00:20:38Face sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
00:20:40When do I get to meet her?
00:20:42Her military background and work with actress women
00:20:44will be a real asset for both female and male voters.
00:20:47Dial it back, Pierce.
00:20:49We're in the early stages.
00:20:51Alright, well, don't take too long.
00:20:53You married her for the campaign.
00:20:55And it's not like she can dump you once she finds out.
00:20:57She needs you for her inheritance.
00:21:09Gun!
00:21:11Hey.
00:21:13I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:21:15Oh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:17Did you mind that I got a woman?
00:21:19I'm talking food here.
00:21:21Alright, in that case, surprise me.
00:21:23Trust me, I'm full of surprises.
00:21:25I bet you are.
00:21:27See you soon.
00:21:29I bet you are.
00:21:31See you soon.
00:21:41Gotcha, sis.
00:21:43So this is where you've been hiding out.
00:21:55Did you want some of my wine?
00:21:59No.
00:22:23I turned off your alarm.
00:22:25You obviously needed the sleep.
00:22:28We can run tonight.
00:22:30P.S. You snore, but it's super cute.
00:22:32I do not snore, Gryffinroy.
00:22:50What are you doing in a place like this?
00:22:52I live here.
00:22:54When did you move in?
00:22:56Last week. We're house-sitting.
00:22:58Yeah, I've heard that one before.
00:23:00Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.
00:23:02Thieves are always trying to break in.
00:23:04Who are you calling a thief?
00:23:06Please step out. Now!
00:23:10What the hell are you doing?
00:23:12Just routine inspection.
00:23:16Let's see what else you're hiding here.
00:23:26Get your filthy hands off my wife!
00:23:28What?
00:23:34Oh, cool.
00:23:36I thought I was saving you,
00:23:38but it looks like you got it.
00:23:40Look out!
00:23:44Damn, lady.
00:23:46You make it look easy.
00:23:48Are you hurt?
00:23:50Just my pride.
00:23:52Looks like you got it flat.
00:23:55Let's get out of here. We can take my car.
00:23:57This is yours?
00:23:59Borrowed it from a friend.
00:24:01Right.
00:24:05I know all the guards who work here,
00:24:07and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:09Who the hell are you, man?
00:24:11Some kind of big shot or something?
00:24:13Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.
00:24:17All right.
00:24:19You're under arrest.
00:24:21What the hell is going on?
00:24:23I...
00:24:29Well, that didn't go as planned.
00:24:31Mama, this is all your fault!
00:24:33You pushed me to hire those thugs
00:24:35to humiliate Shelby,
00:24:37and now my money's wasted
00:24:39and she got off scot-free!
00:24:41Eyes on the prize, Cece.
00:24:43Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate,
00:24:45this'll be pocket change.
00:24:47Yeah, and who would have thought
00:24:49that bum would have got the police involved
00:24:51I don't believe he's a bum.
00:24:53I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?
00:24:55No matter whether he's a tramp or not,
00:24:57he married Shelby for her money.
00:24:59Offer him a better deal
00:25:01and he'll leave her.
00:25:03We annul the marriage
00:25:05and claim the entire estate.
00:25:09Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox
00:25:11the porter party billionaire looking for a new gigolo?
00:25:13That old cougar?
00:25:15Oh, Cece, honey,
00:25:17when they're that age, they're not cougars.
00:25:20They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:26Well, then we just gotta
00:25:28make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25:36You really should have iced these right away.
00:25:38I realize that now.
00:25:40I've only ever sparred with
00:25:42gloves on, never thrown
00:25:44a bare-knuckle punch before.
00:25:46What?
00:25:48Did I just hand in my man card?
00:25:50No, you knocked a guy out
00:25:52with one punch. Your man card
00:25:54is fully intact.
00:25:56You just sounded like a prep school
00:25:58rich boy for a second.
00:26:04Not just for today, but
00:26:06for everything.
00:26:08It's been really lonely since my dad died and
00:26:10it's nice having someone
00:26:12on my side.
00:26:14There's no need to thank me.
00:26:17I'm your husband.
00:26:19Close your eyes.
00:26:29Okay.
00:26:31Fair is fair.
00:26:33I owe you one.
00:26:47Sorry.
00:26:49I know we're just
00:26:51pretending.
00:26:53Right.
00:26:55Pretending.
00:26:59I'm gonna...
00:27:01I'm gonna go for
00:27:03a run.
00:27:05Okay, I'll come with...
00:27:11What if it's just me
00:27:13and you?
00:27:15What if it's just me?
00:27:17Wouldn't that be ironic? The first woman I'm into
00:27:19for so long is not into me.
00:27:21Fuck!
00:27:37Griffin kissed me and it felt
00:27:39just like that night three years ago.
00:27:41What's wrong with me?
00:27:43How can I feel the exact same
00:27:45way for two different men?
00:27:57I don't know.
00:27:59He looks like a wet street dog.
00:28:01I'll shower and a haircut and he'll be marginally
00:28:03presentable.
00:28:05Hey! You!
00:28:08We got
00:28:10a proposition for you.
00:28:12How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?
00:28:14Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
00:28:16Get in.
00:28:30Are you sure he's not homeless?
00:28:32He eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:34So you want me to divorce Shelby?
00:28:36And marry
00:28:38Victoria Wilcox,
00:28:40the shithouse billionaire?
00:28:46You will refer to them as
00:28:48porta-potties, young man.
00:28:50We know you're after
00:28:52Shelby's inheritance, but she's
00:28:54never gonna see it.
00:28:56Well,
00:28:58he'll do.
00:29:02Oh, he'll do
00:29:05just nicely.
00:29:09Wait a minute.
00:29:11Have we met before? Because you look
00:29:13real familiar.
00:29:15No. Nope.
00:29:17I don't think I run in your kinds of circles.
00:29:19I'm Miss Wilcox.
00:29:21The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:27The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:29And you will also be paid
00:29:3120 grand a month to provide
00:29:33intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:29:37Hmm.
00:29:39Oh, you don't need to worry, boy.
00:29:41Because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:43Because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:57I don't understand.
00:29:59This says...
00:30:01Under arrest for pandering.
00:30:03Detective McSwain,
00:30:05this woman has tried
00:30:07to recruit me as
00:30:09a sex worker. That's a Class C
00:30:11felony. He's lying.
00:30:15And you will also be paid
00:30:1720 grand a month to provide
00:30:19intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:30:25Detective!
00:30:27There must be some misunderstanding.
00:30:30There's no nonsense going on here.
00:30:32No, you can't arrest me on the word of
00:30:34that bum. He set me up.
00:30:36Detective McSwain, it's
00:30:38getting late.
00:30:40I'd like to go home and see my wife.
00:30:46Wait.
00:30:50You have made a big mistake rejecting me.
00:30:52I'm a woman of wealth
00:30:54and power that you cannot fathom.
00:30:56I will make you pay
00:30:58very dearly for this.
00:31:00I don't think anyone mentioned my last name.
00:31:04It's Roy.
00:31:10I knew you looked familiar.
00:31:12I'm just an old woman.
00:31:14You could forgive me.
00:31:16Get out of my face.
00:31:24Alright, we got her in the car.
00:31:27How far do you want this to go?
00:31:29Put the fear of God in there.
00:31:31Mugshot, fingerprints, thorax.
00:31:33Then in the morning, drop the charges
00:31:35before the press
00:31:37gets wind. Piercer to have your hide.
00:31:39You got it, Griff.
00:31:51Where have you been?
00:31:53I was worried you were
00:31:55gone so long.
00:31:57Yeah?
00:31:59Are you hungry?
00:32:01I can heat up some leftovers.
00:32:03Yeah, I'd like that.
00:32:07Did that just happen?
00:32:09Maybe I have a shot with her after all.
00:32:11Oh, baby,
00:32:13my little girl.
00:32:15I will never forget
00:32:17the humiliation that man has caused us.
00:32:19Don't you worry, Mama.
00:32:21I have a plan.
00:32:23I had all night to think about it
00:32:25in that cold, hard cell.
00:32:27If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby,
00:32:29fine.
00:32:31We'll just force Shelby.
00:32:33We'll force her.
00:32:35We'll force her.
00:32:37We'll force her.
00:32:40We'll just force Shelby to divorce him.
00:32:42And I know
00:32:44just where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:48Amazing.
00:32:50Amazing.
00:33:04I think we
00:33:06shaved 30 seconds off that time.
00:33:08I thought I was competitive.
00:33:10You even compete with yourself.
00:33:20You're not growing.
00:33:22You're dying.
00:33:24I, um,
00:33:26I'm gonna go shower.
00:33:28Me too.
00:33:32Get a grip, Shelby.
00:33:34Zoe's hot.
00:33:37I've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
00:33:39What makes him any different?
00:33:41He just is.
00:33:47Hey, Zara.
00:33:49Shelby, you have to get here right away.
00:33:51Buford's kicking us out the gym.
00:33:57I'm sorry, my hands are tied.
00:34:01He says we have to leave.
00:34:03Okay, I got this.
00:34:05What are you doing?
00:34:07This is my place of business.
00:34:09You're done here.
00:34:11I sold the building.
00:34:13The new owners want you out.
00:34:15That's illegal.
00:34:17I have a lease.
00:34:19They've got a break clause
00:34:21for new management
00:34:23and they decided to activate it.
00:34:25Who the hell is they?
00:34:27That would be us.
00:34:29If we can take it from here.
00:34:31Sure thing.
00:34:33I used all your army money for this gym.
00:34:35But you can get it back.
00:34:37All you have to do is
00:34:39sign this divorce petition.
00:34:41Get a divorce,
00:34:43give up your inheritance
00:34:45and then you can keep your
00:34:47dinky, smelly gym.
00:34:55I bet you want to hit me so bad.
00:34:57Not so tough now, are you, Shelby?
00:35:00Screw you.
00:35:02I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:35:04Sorry, the building
00:35:06is now closed for
00:35:08renovations
00:35:10and everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:12Of course,
00:35:14you could sue,
00:35:16but that would take months.
00:35:18Well,
00:35:20what would happen to your gym now, Shelby?
00:35:22That's blackmail.
00:35:24We like to call it capitalism.
00:35:26You don't sign, we close the gym
00:35:28and lose everything.
00:35:30Think about what you're doing.
00:35:32This gym is a lifeline
00:35:34for so many women.
00:35:36I won't let you take it from them.
00:35:38You can beg, but I won't budge.
00:35:42Be a smart girl and sign the papers
00:35:44by tomorrow or you can kiss
00:35:46your Valkyrie Fight Club
00:35:48goodbye.
00:35:50And watch us turn it into
00:35:52Valkyrie Strip Club.
00:35:54Isn't that a good idea?
00:35:57There's poles and everything.
00:35:59Plenty of girls.
00:36:01They're cute.
00:36:03Cute enough.
00:36:13I'm not here because I give a damn if you win.
00:36:15I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy
00:36:17doesn't.
00:36:19The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:36:21The fuck you say?
00:36:23What exactly did Roy
00:36:25do to earn your loathing?
00:36:27He partnered up against me
00:36:29with a she-warrior.
00:36:31I want to see them both
00:36:33destroyed.
00:36:35Well, with your connections
00:36:37and my political might,
00:36:39I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:49LaRose got Andre.
00:36:51What are we going to do about this?
00:36:53Nothing.
00:36:55We do not want these two pairing up, alright?
00:36:57This is political suicide.
00:36:59Just talk to Shelby.
00:37:01Maybe if you both apologize-
00:37:03Um, hell no. Let them do their best.
00:37:05Mark my words, this is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
00:37:13Hello, Shelby.
00:37:15Griffin,
00:37:17we need to talk.
00:37:23Shelby?
00:37:25What's going on?
00:37:27You sounded tense on the phone.
00:37:29I have so many
00:37:31missed moments, things I should have
00:37:33said or done,
00:37:35chances that were lost that might have been pivotal
00:37:37to my life.
00:37:39I don't want you to be another moment that I miss.
00:37:53You first.
00:38:19You first.
00:38:23You first.
00:38:37You first.
00:38:49You first.
00:38:53That was fucking amazing.
00:39:09Griffin, where are you going?
00:39:19Griffin?
00:39:20Griffin?
00:39:21Griffin?
00:39:24Explain yourself.
00:39:25Toothbrush.
00:39:26PJs.
00:39:27This is Jacques.
00:39:28Why?
00:39:29You're my wife.
00:39:30I sleep with you now.
00:39:31We probably should have talked this through.
00:39:32Yeah.
00:39:33You said you had missed moments.
00:39:34I've had them too.
00:39:35You will not be one of them.
00:39:36I know we said we were pretending.
00:39:37I know we were.
00:39:38I know we were.
00:39:39I know we were.
00:39:40I know we were.
00:39:41I know we were.
00:39:42I know we were.
00:39:43I know we were.
00:39:44I know we were.
00:39:45I know we were.
00:39:46I know we were.
00:39:47I know we were.
00:39:48I know we were.
00:39:49I know we were.
00:39:50I know we were.
00:39:51I know we were.
00:39:52I know we were.
00:39:53I know we were.
00:39:54I know we were.
00:39:55I know we were.
00:40:01I want to give us a chance.
00:40:03A real one.

00:41:54Thank you, how did Cece get the money to buy the entire
00:41:58Rampart drive building she and Margo Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral stupid good for us bad for them
00:42:06And the property title still an escrow the title hasn't been transferred yet
00:42:11Make sure it is
00:42:12Your name you're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive. Oh goody goody
00:42:24Talk to me mix way. I showed the fake guards and lock up Cece Trudeau's mugshot. You're right
00:42:29She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife. How'd you know?
00:42:33Had her mo written all over it. I take it the kid gloves are off this time. Oh, yeah
00:42:38Cece Trudeau thinks she's untouchable. Let's show her just how wrong she is
00:42:50I'm glad you finally came to your senses Shelby. I definitely have
00:42:56Show time I'm your campaign manager. Not some hired muscle
00:43:01Here's what I think about your agreement

00:43:12You fucking bitch
00:43:16That's her cue

00:43:28She's basically a man you'll get hurt I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine, but I will never
00:43:34Agree to your demands
00:43:36Reclaim what's yours? You're never gonna step foot in your precious gem ever again
00:43:44That would be difficult to enforce since I now own the building
00:43:48Who the hell are you?
00:43:50Pierce Durand the new owner of 222
00:43:54Your deal fell out of escrow I swooped in and bought it

00:46:44Those stuck-up twats kept going on and on about their precious lineages dating back to the Mayflower
00:46:54Not everyone's white trash like you Isabel
00:46:57Does it wonder
00:46:59How you overcame your
00:47:01Low class origins and gained my interest. That wasn't your interest darling. That was your cock. Hmm
00:47:08Touche my dear
00:47:10Why are you looking at a picture of her?
00:47:12Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:47:14Well, she went by Michelle in high school
00:47:17But yeah, that's her
00:47:20She was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school
00:47:24From bullies like you per se
00:47:28Oh, that is unfortunate
00:47:32You'll have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect
00:47:35Neville no
00:47:37I mean your new bestie Isabel
00:47:39Baby no
00:47:47It's cooling off we should go inside
00:47:50Just a few more minutes
00:47:52I can't remember the last time I let myself just be
00:47:57Yeah, I think it was when my parents were still together
00:48:02Before the divorce the cheating mom getting sick
00:48:07I was carefree then I joined the army after but that was just another roller coaster
00:48:13It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory cutting off weapon supply routes
00:48:18I'm glad you feel safe here
00:48:22It's not the place it's the person
00:48:25I feel like I've known you forever
00:48:33Shelby I have to tell you something
00:48:42I guess I can't tell you
00:48:45I guess I can wait one more day
00:48:54Our most sought-after class at Valkyrie is our women's self-defense kickboxing
00:49:01Sign me up
00:49:03Oh shit, Isabel the girl who made my life and everyone else is a living hell in high school
00:49:09What sneaky bs is she up to?
00:49:11Oh my gosh, Michelle, is it you?
00:49:13I go by Shelby now
00:49:15You look amazing
00:49:17Michelle, Shelby and I go way back
00:49:21Gosh, what a small world
00:49:23Well for membership we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions
00:49:27How about I pay up front for three years?
00:49:31And I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join
00:49:33You know if you're really serious about this you'll have to lose the bling
00:49:37You know if you're really serious about this you'll have to lose the bling before class
00:49:45I was a mean girl in high school and I'm really ashamed of it
00:49:49What you've built here is so empowering
00:49:53If I had had something like this growing up then maybe I would have found the courage to
00:49:57Stop my pa from all the horrible things he did to me and ma
00:50:03Shelby can we start over?
00:50:05Can we start over?
00:50:07Would you let me try to make it right?
00:50:11Okay
00:50:21This is so awesome
00:50:23How about lunch? I'm free to grab a bite right now
00:50:25We can catch up
00:50:29Okay, let me grab my bag
00:50:31Get a bite baby
00:50:35Okay
00:50:39Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign
00:50:43He's pro-union
00:50:45And has a five point plan to improve workplace safety regulations
00:50:49Shit
00:50:51No, no, not you
00:50:53I gotta call you back
00:50:55Okay
00:51:03LaRoche knows about Shelby
00:51:05He sicked Isabelle on her, look
00:51:07Here's her Instagram
00:51:09What the fuck
00:51:11LaRoche's oppo research must have tagged her
00:51:13Look we just lost control of the narrative Griffin
00:51:15Screw the narrative, it's a trap
00:51:17They've got my wife
00:51:25Thought this was supposed to be a quick bite
00:51:27I have a business to run you know
00:51:29You haven't changed a bit since high school
00:51:31So dedicated
00:51:33I've always admired that about you
00:51:35Alright cut the crap Izzy
00:51:37Others might buy your ladylike act
00:51:39But I know you're still the same vicious bully inside
00:51:43You didn't come to my gym by accident
00:51:45What's your angle?
00:51:47Neville asked me to befriend you
00:51:49I don't want to be here
00:51:51So I can just add that to the list of reasons
00:51:53Why I fucking loathe you
00:51:55What's my angle Shelby?
00:51:59The complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy
00:52:03And if I can take you down with him
00:52:05All the better
00:52:11Shelby listen to me
00:52:13The press are on their way
00:52:15I don't have time to explain but I fucked up
00:52:17You have to get out of that restaurant
00:52:19Now
00:52:23Too late to run
00:52:25My hubby's here
00:52:27Leaving so soon Ms. Trudeau
00:52:29Or should I say Mrs. Roy
00:52:33Come on Shelby pick up
00:52:35Let me know you got out of there
00:52:39Who the hell are you?
00:52:41Congressman Neville LaRoche
00:52:43I understand why your husband probably never mentioned me
00:52:45Seems as how there's so much
00:52:47He hasn't told you
00:52:49Please sit down
00:52:51I was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived
00:52:53No matter
00:52:55We'll do this the less
00:52:57Gentile way if we must
00:53:01Both of these men are retired Navy SEALs
00:53:03I've heard a lot about
00:53:05Your fighting skills
00:53:07So I came prepared
00:53:15What's this about?
00:53:17What's this about?
00:53:19I spoke with your stepmother
00:53:21My girl
00:53:23She had quite the story to tell
00:53:25It seems Roy has led you to believe
00:53:27That he's some bum
00:53:29On the streets
00:53:31When actually
00:53:33He's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state
00:53:35I can't believe you fell for that
00:53:37Not so smart now
00:53:39Are you Shelby?
00:53:41You're lying
00:53:43You are Roy's secret bride
00:53:45A woman he is so ashamed of
00:53:47He would hide the marriage for the rest of the world
00:53:49When the press arrives
00:53:51You will share your story
00:53:53Betrayal with the voters of Louisiana
00:53:55So that they may know
00:53:57What kind of man Roy really is
00:54:09Hey
00:54:11I got it
00:54:13Let me go
00:54:15Shelby please
00:54:17Why did you keep your marriage a secret?
00:54:19The voters have a right to know
00:54:21What else are you hiding?
00:54:23You son of a bitch
00:54:25I'm now Roy
00:54:27Don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes
00:54:39Shelby
00:54:41Shelby please hear me out
00:54:43Don't shell me
00:54:45All of your charm
00:54:47It's just a lie
00:54:49I never meant to let it get this far
00:54:51I planned on coming clean
00:54:53More lies, Griffin Roy?
00:54:55I was going to tell you today
00:54:57Convenient
00:54:59Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start?
00:55:01Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
00:55:05That was always a possibility
00:55:07Get away from my house
00:55:09This is technically
00:55:11My home
00:55:13How's sitting my ass?
00:55:15You are the worst
00:55:17And I never want to see you again
00:55:19Shelby
00:55:27Congressional candidate Griffin Roy
00:55:29Has a secret bride
00:55:31Our reporter is
00:55:41Going to get a sip of that?
00:56:11Ah
00:56:29This is private property
00:56:31Which I own
00:56:33Liar, Pierce Durand owns this building
00:56:35He works for me
00:56:37Then I'll move
00:56:39Shelby
00:56:53Oh Shelby
00:56:55Shelby come out would you please
00:56:59I wake up in the morning
00:57:01And reach for you
00:57:03But you're not there
00:57:09I can't breathe
00:57:11At the thought of losing you
00:57:15Mr. Roy do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:19You're ridiculous
00:57:21You do know that don't you?
00:57:23Oh Shelby
00:57:25Shelby don't leave me hanging
00:57:27What are you doing?
00:57:29You're supposed to turn it on
00:57:31Yeah
00:57:33I got it from a pawn shop
00:57:35It's broken
00:57:37I told you you scammed me
00:57:39You are beyond ridiculous
00:57:41Please Shelby
00:57:43I didn't say
00:57:45What I wanted to before
00:57:47Just give me a chance to explain
00:57:51Fine
00:57:53Come in you fool
00:57:55I'll come in on my own
00:57:57I'm out
00:58:01You have two minutes
00:58:07Growing up
00:58:09As a Roy
00:58:11No one ever liked me for me
00:58:13It's always been about
00:58:15The money
00:58:17The access
00:58:19Then
00:58:21At a moment
00:58:23Three years ago
00:58:25Where someone did
00:58:27Like me
00:58:29For me
00:58:31They had no idea who I was
00:58:33And I just remember
00:58:35How freeing
00:58:37It felt
00:58:41So when I met you
00:58:43And I felt that spark
00:58:45I've been searching for
00:58:47I didn't think
00:58:49I just
00:58:51Fucking left
00:58:53Why wait so long to tell me?
00:58:55I've never gone into
00:58:57Enemy territory to cut off
00:58:59Weapon supply routes
00:59:01I boxed in prep school
00:59:03Yep
00:59:05You got that right
00:59:07But otherwise
00:59:09I've always been more of a lover
00:59:11Rather than a fighter
00:59:13And I've done well as a lawyer
00:59:15But I did not
00:59:17Earn those billions
00:59:19I inherited them
00:59:21From
00:59:23Generations
00:59:25Of dickheads
00:59:27When you meet a girl
00:59:29It's a total package
00:59:31It's a package too
00:59:33You really are ridiculous
00:59:35You know I have laughed
00:59:37More with you in the past two weeks
00:59:39Than I have in my entire life
00:59:41I'm way too serious, Griffin
00:59:43Sometimes I forget how to let go
00:59:45But with you
00:59:47Every day is fun
00:59:49So does that mean you
00:59:51Forgive me?
00:59:53I'm thinking about it
00:59:57Yeah
00:59:59I've been thinking too much
01:00:01Time for makeup sex
01:00:05So
01:00:07That's makeup sex
01:00:09Yeah
01:00:13Griffin
01:00:15It hurts so much thinking we were over
01:00:17I know
01:00:19I never want to feel like that again
01:00:21I promise not to let anything
01:00:23Get in between us
01:00:30This changes everything
01:00:32No, thanks for the heads up
01:00:34I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried
01:00:36For as long as possible
01:00:45Mom
01:00:47I want to stay right here
01:00:49I want to stay right here
01:00:58Where the hell are you, Griff?
01:01:00This is DEF CON 1
01:01:02Hey man
01:01:04Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:06Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:12Come on
01:01:15How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:17We've known each other since college
01:01:19What are you talking about?
01:01:21Didn't you get any of my texts or calls?
01:01:23I must have forgot to charge it
01:01:25I had quite a night last night
01:01:27Shelby and I made up
01:01:29She's forgiven me
01:01:31Well, she won't forgive you for this
01:01:35You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy
01:01:41Michelle Lane
01:01:44I don't even know who that is
01:01:46Well, you knew her well enough to marry her three years ago
01:01:52This can't be right
01:01:54I got it from a parish clerk
01:01:56She's agreed to keep it hush-hush for now
01:01:58The ceremony was conducted at a church
01:02:00The priest signed and completed the marriage certificate
01:02:04Father Timothy O'Shea
01:02:08I now pronounce ye man and wife
01:02:11The Mask Girl from Hardy Girl
01:02:13I finally know her name
01:02:15Michelle
01:02:17Shit
01:02:19That finally makes sense
01:02:21Of course you wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist
01:02:23Shelby
01:02:25Fuck
01:02:27What am I going to tell her?
01:02:29Look, it could still be one big mistake
01:02:31I need to talk to that priest
01:02:41I have something for you
01:02:51I hacked into the parish database
01:02:53Griffin Roy is legally married to both
01:02:55Michelle Lane and Shelby Trudeau
01:02:57That's it
01:02:59He's finished
01:03:01Griffin Roy will be in jail for bigamy
01:03:03for cocktail hour
01:03:05Michelle Lane is
01:03:07Shelby Trudeau
01:03:09They were married to each other on two separate occasions
01:03:11They just don't know it yet
01:03:13That's insane
01:03:15Check the date
01:03:17They got married the first time during Hardy Girl
01:03:19Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated
01:03:21We could use that angle
01:03:23Yeah, the romance is already trending
01:03:25He made an idiot of himself
01:03:27with that boombox and voters
01:03:29Oh
01:03:31They're just eating it up
01:03:33He's catching up in the polls
01:03:35Now
01:03:37If Griffin Roy unknowingly marries twice
01:03:39the girl he's been searching for
01:03:41since Mardi Gras
01:03:43This will make them seem like some
01:03:45fated love story
01:03:49This will make them seem like some
01:03:51fated love story
01:03:55We got nothing on him
01:03:57Honey, we've got everything we need
01:03:59What they don't know
01:04:01can definitely hurt them
01:04:03And right now, to Griffin Roy
01:04:05Michelle Lane could be anybody
01:04:09You would have given
01:04:11Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear
01:04:13Who?
01:04:17Well, we have a
01:04:19very limited window to make this work
01:04:21We will hit hard
01:04:23but fast
01:04:29What is she going to say when I tell her I'm married?
01:04:31Alright, ladies
01:04:33Good job
01:04:35That's it for tonight
01:04:37Remember, this weekend's Mardi Gras
01:04:39Have fun, but you know what to do
01:04:41if anybody messes with you
01:04:43Nice work
01:04:45Hi
01:04:47Hungry?
01:04:49Yeah, so
01:04:51Today's class went super well
01:04:53Two new students
01:04:55They really picked up on a lot of things
01:04:57You're everything I've ever wanted
01:04:59Everything I didn't even dare to dream
01:05:01You're it for me
01:05:03I can't lose you
01:05:05Griffin, are you okay?
01:05:07Yeah
01:05:09Just some stuff
01:05:11for the campaign
01:05:13I want to help
01:05:15LaRoche can't win
01:05:17He and Isabel are evil
01:05:19You're the kind of man that people need
01:05:21I can't imagine anyone else by my side
01:05:23I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow
01:05:25We will plan
01:05:27a siege that surrounds them from all sides
01:05:29That sounds amazing, Cheryl
01:05:39Father?
01:05:43I remember the two of you
01:05:45You have it, lad
01:05:47That special spark
01:05:49I don't see it often in couples
01:05:51but when I do, it makes an impression
01:05:53You must be mistaken
01:05:55This woman and I, we'd met that day
01:05:57And you were already finishing each other's sentences
01:05:59Dying to tie the knot
01:06:01There was no stopping you
01:06:03I was drunk
01:06:05Drunk with love
01:06:07The man I married knew what he was doing
01:06:09I mean, how is this even legal?
01:06:11New Orleans has a 24-hour waiting period
01:06:13Unless the judge waives it
01:06:15Son of a bitch
01:06:17Who was it?
01:06:19He was your best man
01:06:21You called him Remy
01:06:23No wonder he always had that
01:06:25stupid smirk on his face
01:06:27whenever I stood before him in court
01:06:29Fuck
01:06:31Fuck
01:06:35I don't care
01:06:37We need to annul the marriage now
01:06:39I love my wife
01:06:41You're in a bit of a pickle
01:06:43because in my book
01:06:45you love Joe the wife as well
01:06:49Sir
01:06:51Mrs. Rose in your office
01:06:53with Mr. Durand
01:06:55Shelby
01:06:59Griffin, this is the woman
01:07:01you've been looking for
01:07:03This is Michelle Lane
01:07:05Hi, Griffin
01:07:07You might not remember me, but we got married
01:07:09three years ago
01:07:15So you've been
01:07:17an escort for seven years
01:07:19That's right, since high school
01:07:21And that really is your toddler
01:07:23My baby girl Fleur
01:07:25She has no daddy, this will be good for her
01:07:31If I may ask, how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:33That is the least of your worries
01:07:35Alright, chop chop
01:07:43Now action
01:07:45Hi, Griffin
01:07:47You might not remember me, but we got married
01:07:49three years ago
01:07:51It was Mardi Gras
01:07:53We were completely wasted
01:07:55and we ended up in some church with an Irish priest
01:07:57We had a wild night at the hotel
01:07:59and well
01:08:01Fleur was the happy accident
01:08:03nine months later
01:08:07It can't be true
01:08:09I've never met you in my life
01:08:11I mean, you were wearing masks
01:08:13Yes, that's right, we were
01:08:15By the time I found out I was pregnant
01:08:17two months had passed
01:08:19I've been trying to find you ever since
01:08:21but it wasn't until I saw one of your ads for Congress
01:08:23that I recognized your voice
01:08:25It was a miracle
01:08:27It's too much, she's losing him
01:08:29Tone it down
01:08:31Tone it down
01:08:35Listen, lady, I don't know who you're trying to con
01:08:37with this ad
01:08:39Griffin, don't
01:08:41But there is no way in hell that I'm married to you
01:08:45What's going on, Griffin?
01:08:49Is this woman really your wife?
01:08:53No, she's not
01:08:55We don't know
01:08:57Which is it?
01:08:59You are my wife, only you
01:09:03I understand this is a lot to take in
01:09:05Fleur and I will just go
01:09:07I'll have my lawyer reach out
01:09:09No lawyers
01:09:11We don't need to involve any authorities
01:09:13This can all be solved with a simple DNA test
01:09:17Pierce, this woman is a fraud
01:09:19Griffin, think about it
01:09:21She says Fleur is your daughter
01:09:23One little test, and that'll prove if she's lying or not
01:09:25We need to know, Griffin
01:09:27I need to know
01:09:31Fine, but I don't want these doubts to fester
01:09:33We can rush the DNA results
01:09:35and get them back in a few hours
01:09:37To just a more private setting
01:09:39Besides
01:09:41Understood
01:09:43We can wait back at my house for the results to come
01:09:51We've got him
01:09:53You're up
01:10:08Hi
01:10:24Cute kid
01:10:26Don't
01:10:28Just don't
01:10:30Shelby go upstairs
01:10:32She fed them snacks
01:10:34and then locked herself in the guest room
01:10:38I can't lose her, Pierce
01:10:42I won't
01:10:51Moment of truth, buddy
01:11:08Fleur
01:11:10Meet your daddy
01:11:12I will, of course
01:11:14provide for you both
01:11:16financially
01:11:18Fleur doesn't need a checkbook
01:11:20She needs a father
01:11:38What do you want?
01:11:40The guest bedroom is empty
01:11:42You and Fleur can stay there
01:11:47Shelby
01:11:49Just
01:11:51Don't do this
01:11:53Just give me some time
01:11:55I can fix it
01:11:57This isn't something you fix
01:11:59You can't be legally married to two women at the same time
01:12:01and you have a child with one of them
01:12:03We need to get a divorce
01:12:09She's right, Griff
01:12:11Griffin, you have a daughter now
01:12:13You're a father and you have to put your child first
01:12:17I can't be Margot
01:12:19I won't do that to another little girl
01:12:23I've spent my whole life
01:12:25looking for you
01:12:29I'm sorry
01:12:32How can I let you go?
01:12:38Sometimes love isn't enough
01:12:44How'd you know Shelby would leave him because of the kid?
01:12:46Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people
01:12:49It's not in her nature to put herself first
01:12:51Oh, you're a scary woman
01:12:54I know
01:12:57Hi, I'm Jenny
01:12:59I'm Shelby Trudeau
01:13:01We've been expecting you
01:13:08So this is what it feels like
01:13:10to have your heart shattered?
01:13:26I love you
01:13:56That's strange
01:13:58I thought I heard something
01:14:27I love you
01:14:39It's like she was never here
01:14:53Hey, mister
01:14:55Will you marry me?
01:14:58She took everything but left this behind
01:15:01Message received, Shelby
01:15:13What the hell is this?
01:15:16I know this sounds crazy
01:15:18and there's no time to explain
01:15:20but if you help me I promise a generous reward
01:15:22once I get my inheritance
01:15:24This place is insane
01:15:26The owner must really trust you
01:15:32Could it be?
01:15:45It's her
01:15:46It's always been her
01:15:49Yeah, it went better than I expected
01:15:52Yeah, it went better than I expected
01:15:54As soon as he saw the forged DNA test
01:15:56it was a done deal
01:15:57Who is she working for?
01:15:59How long am I supposed to stay here
01:16:01while you take care of Shelby?
01:16:03Give me a name, come on, just one name
01:16:05Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close
01:16:07I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead
01:16:11Where is Shelby?
01:16:13Where is my wife?
01:16:15Where is Isabel taking me?
01:16:17I don't know what you're talking about
01:16:18I will have you put away for the rest of your life
01:16:20and your daughter will go up in a fucking orphanage
01:16:23I don't know where she is
01:16:25If I knew, I'd tell you, I swear
01:16:41What is wrong with me?
01:16:46Help!
01:16:48Somebody help!
01:16:51Do you need some water?
01:16:53Oh wait, I see you've already had some
01:16:56You poisoned me?
01:16:58Why?
01:17:00Why?
01:17:01Why?
01:17:03Where to begin?
01:17:06Lingering high school issues, offs
01:17:09I'm helping Neville's campaign, duh
01:17:12But the real reason, the one that cuts deep
01:17:15Is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist
01:17:19By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice
01:17:23He'll have gone missing, vanished without a trace
01:17:28He'll be forced to withdraw from the race
01:17:31Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body
01:17:35Suspicion will follow Griffin for the rest of his life
01:17:38Any political future he may have had will be as dead as you
01:17:42Nect?
01:17:44Back up
01:17:46Married? Twice?
01:17:50Who's the...
01:17:52The woman in the little girl?
01:17:54Oh, just some cheap whore I hired to tell your husband
01:17:58That they've been married for the past three years
01:18:00When really, it's been you all along
01:18:05You've been searching for each other all this time
01:18:08But now he'll never find you
01:18:11Alright boys, she's all yours
01:18:19I told you I'd get you back
01:18:27Miss Tudor, why are you here?
01:18:29My daughter, my baby Cece, I'm scared she's gonna do something terrible
01:18:35What do you mean, terrible? What's going on?
01:18:37I sold everything to get her out on bail and you...
01:18:41What does she do in return? She's gone crazy
01:18:45Stoking Shelby, she tailed her to some hotel in the French Quarter
01:18:53What hotel?
01:18:55Excuse me sir, my sister's staying here but I've forgotten her room number
01:18:59Is Shelby Trudeau?
01:19:01Sorry ma'am, we can't disclose any guest information
01:19:05Shelby...
01:19:09Come out, come out, wherever you are
01:19:21I think I'll do it with my bare hands
01:19:23Makes it more personal
01:19:26Actually, do me a favor
01:19:28Leave a lot of marks on that vase of hers
01:19:31Fuck you, I want people to see that she's suffered, a lot
01:19:36Oh trust me, she will
01:19:39Come on, let's get this party started
01:19:59Look what you've done
01:20:03Pansy ass slap
01:20:06She's stalling and you're falling for it
01:20:09Damn, can't go to the valet smelling like a dive bar
01:20:13I'll never give you your car keys
01:20:15Shelby has clothes over there
01:20:17James
01:20:19I'll take care of me, you go take care of her
01:20:22James
01:20:23I'll take care of me, you go take care of her
01:20:32Southercliffe, Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Lane
01:20:36It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request
01:20:39She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago
01:20:46Starting to make sense now
01:20:49It was harder on my mom
01:20:51She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too
01:20:54Even started using my mom's maiden name
01:20:57She's the one you've been looking for
01:20:59It's been her all this time
01:21:01How could I be so blind?
01:21:03Of course it had to be Shelby, it had to be her
01:21:07My heart knew what my brain couldn't see
01:21:10I got it
01:21:11Your girl's in room 801
01:21:14Thanks man
01:21:16Now I can go save the love of my life
01:21:24Too much to drink
01:21:33Stop right there
01:21:40Not so fast
01:21:43Griffin fucking Roy
01:21:45Finally joined the party
01:21:47I'm here for my wife
01:21:49Not gonna happen, brah
01:21:51What you've done here is aggravated assault
01:21:54But if you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping
01:21:57That is a federal crime
01:21:59Don't bring in the FBI
01:22:02Someone will have to be around to identify us
01:22:04That sure as hell won't be you
01:22:08Did you get all that, Pierce?
01:22:10Police are on their way
01:22:11Hang in there, buddy
01:22:14You're not getting out of here alive, Roy
01:22:35Give me my wife back now!
01:22:44Give her...
01:22:53Shelby, are you alright?
01:23:13Dad!
01:23:30Griff, my god!
01:23:31Do you need medical attention?
01:23:33No, but they do
01:23:44I guess I renewed my man card
01:23:47Sure did, honey
01:23:48Fucked them up real good
01:23:52Oh lord, please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing
01:24:05Shelby!
01:24:06You little bitch!
01:24:08Didn't I say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:24:11What?
01:24:13That's not...
01:24:14Shelby!
01:24:17Put your hands up or I can see them
01:24:23This is the last one
01:24:24Hey, hey, hey
01:24:25I want to make a deal
01:24:27What do you have to offer up?
01:24:28Congressman Neville LaRoche
01:24:31I'm all ears
01:24:38Is it really over?
01:24:40Yeah, it is
01:24:43Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but...
01:24:47Three years ago, did we...
01:24:52You left us
01:25:00It's true
01:25:03I can't believe I finally found you
01:25:06I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met
01:25:11Why'd you never come back?
01:25:29It's called a walk of shame, not a laugh of it
01:25:33Mind your own business, Cece
01:25:35Look at you, Shelby
01:25:36One Mardi Gras hookup and you think you found happily ever after
01:25:40That's not how life works
01:25:42Sure, he may have liked you with a mask on, but he's not going to want you with it all
01:25:47Look, you both have a great memory now
01:25:50But you'll look back and you'll see that you're just the clueless chick who didn't know the score
01:25:57You'll embarrass yourself
01:25:58And more importantly, you'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
01:26:10How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:26:14Exactly
01:26:18But I did
01:26:20And I do
01:26:22Where do we go from here?
01:26:24Married twice
01:26:26And then we got married
01:26:27Where do we go from here?
01:26:29Married twice
01:26:30Deeply in love
01:26:32Risked our lives to save each other
01:26:34I'd say we live happily ever after
01:26:39Shelby
01:26:41Will you...
01:26:42Yes, Griffin Roy
01:26:47I will always love you
01:26:49In this life or the next
01:26:57For me, I'm yours
