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