00:00:00Marry me?

00:00:01Shelby Trudeau.

00:00:02Must be married by 5 o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.

00:00:06I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.

00:00:07I'm here to claim my inheritance.

00:00:09Who's gonna marry you anyhow?

00:00:10The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.

00:00:14All right.

00:00:15Let's get married.

00:00:16I can't keep living in the past.

00:00:18Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.

00:00:21Why can't you just tell her it's your place?

00:00:23You're a public figure.

00:00:24How long do you think you can keep this charade up?

00:00:26The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a boy.

00:00:28She liked me for me, and I want that again.

00:00:30You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.

00:00:34Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.

00:00:37I see her still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.

00:00:40How pathetic and pointless.

00:00:42How in love we are.

00:00:43Sometimes I forget how to let go.

00:00:45But with you, every day is fun.

00:00:48Actually, well, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.

00:00:51You are Roy's secret bride.

00:00:53A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.

00:00:57I need to get a divorce.

00:00:58I mean, I've spent my whole life looking for you.

00:01:01Sometimes love isn't enough.

00:01:05Could it be?

00:01:07It's her.

00:01:08It's always been her.

00:01:09How could it be so blind?

00:01:11I'm bored.

00:01:12According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married by five o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.

00:01:28That unladylike girl is not my daughter.

00:01:29Bad enough, I'm her stepmother.

00:01:30Right, and hello.

00:01:31We want Shelby to no-show.

00:01:32That's the way we get everything.

00:01:35I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.

00:01:36I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.

00:01:37I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.

00:01:38I'm here to claim my inheritance.

00:01:39I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.

00:01:40I'm here to claim my inheritance.

00:01:41Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.

00:01:46Hi, and hello. We want Shelby to no-show. That's why we get everything.

00:02:03I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau. I'm here to claim my inheritance.

00:02:08Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister. I'm dressed in your old uniform.

00:02:12Pathetic. Still trying to play hero.

00:02:15I'm in the Army Reserve now, Cece. I was doing weekend drills with my unit. The will, please.

00:02:22Oh, the Army Reserve. Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier. No one would have missed you.

00:02:29Shut your trap before I shut it for you.

00:02:33Look, you don't have to respect me, but don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on the battlefield.

00:02:38God, look around, Cece. Your curled hair and your frilly dress. Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?

00:02:46You have freedom and peace because someone else is carrying the burden.

00:02:51Of course. The will, Sergeant Trudeau. And I want to thank you for your service.

00:03:03Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours only if signed by both you and your spouse.

00:03:13And your spouse.

00:03:16Oh! That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby. Tick tock.

00:03:20Tick tock.

00:03:32Don't say I'm a bad stepmother. Give up your inheritance and I'll give you 1%. Better than nothing.

00:03:40You stole my father from me most of my life. You will not take what he left me.

00:03:45And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.

00:03:52Really, Shelby. Who's gonna marry you anyhow?

00:03:55The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.

00:03:58Don't. Keep the mystery.

00:04:18You've already lost, Shelby. Take the 1% I'm offering and be grateful for it.

00:04:23Right. You're not even gonna find a bum on the street to marry you in time.

00:04:30Watch me.

00:04:34Watch me.

00:04:49Don't worry.

00:04:53Don't worry.

00:04:57He looks single.

00:04:59Oh, my God. This is totally food bar.

00:05:02Suck it up, soldier. You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.

00:05:09Hey, mister.

00:05:12Will you marry me?

00:05:13Marry me?

00:05:22I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain, but if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.

00:05:29Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.

00:05:31So you won't have to live on the streets anymore?

00:05:33Do I look like a homeless person there?

00:05:35Priceless.

00:05:39Shelby Trudeau! Are you, Weinstein?

00:05:41You can't marry this...

00:05:43Elbow?

00:05:46Shelby Trudeau. The late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.

00:05:50That's right. The judge said she was a soldier.

00:05:52He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.

00:05:55Here's a few bucks.

00:05:57Take it and get lost. Don't meddle in our business.

00:06:01Don't speak to him like that.

00:06:03He's a person with feelings.

00:06:05The Cinderella tale. Complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister.

00:06:10It's clear who deserves my help. And the timing couldn't be better for me.

00:06:15Alright. Let's get married.

00:06:32Names for the marriage certificate?

00:06:35Shelby Trudeau.

00:06:37And your name is?

00:06:40Griffin Roy.

00:07:01And congratulations, you lovebirds.

00:07:06Hmm.

00:07:14This isn't over. Tell her!

00:07:22Sergeant Trudeau.

00:07:23Mrs. Roy.

00:07:25You have to stay married for at least one full year.

00:07:29Or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.

00:07:32You hear that, Shelby? You won't last a week with that hobo.

00:07:40Come on.

00:07:42I guess we'll need to keep in touch. But you probably don't have a permanent address.

00:07:51Once the estate gets settled and I have the money, we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job.

00:07:59When most people get what they wanted, they usually just walk away.

00:08:02Walk away.

00:08:03Well, I'm not most people.

00:08:06I see that.

00:08:14I gotta return this.

00:08:17Goodbye for now.

00:08:20Goodbye, wife.

00:08:21Where the hell have you been?

00:08:34Where the hell have you been?

00:08:35Where the hell have you been?

00:08:52Gotcha.

00:08:53Seriously, this is over the top even for you.

00:08:54This DNA.

00:08:58Get it to Detective Mick Swain right away.

00:09:00Look, as your campaign manager, I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?

00:09:06You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.

00:09:11Look.

00:09:13Marrying Isabelle was the best decision of my life.

00:09:15You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago, you got a package deal.

00:09:23Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor, playboy lawyer, the best.

00:09:28This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.

00:09:31In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women who want me for what I am, not who I am.

00:09:38Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.

00:09:42It's not just some girl.

00:09:43We had a connection.

00:09:46Never had that before.

00:09:53Look, I gotta run.

00:09:54But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.

00:09:58Someone real.

00:10:00Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.

00:10:13Remember that true strength is not physical. It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.

00:10:25Alright guys, that's class. Nice work.

00:10:35So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?

00:10:37I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.

00:10:42Who knows how many other women he's done this to.

00:10:45So, I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place and confront him in person.

00:10:52What's holding you back?

00:10:54Andre's some regular guy, Shelby.

00:10:56He's got a bro pack.

00:10:58These men are like wolves with money.

00:11:00Let's go.

00:11:01We'll face this douchebag together.

00:11:03Huh.

00:11:23What's your name?

00:11:25Stephanie.

00:11:26How about a drink, huh?

00:11:27Oh, that's okay.

00:11:28and one little drink won't do no harm.

00:11:30Okay, one drink.

00:11:31Really, Pierce?

00:11:32This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.

00:11:36You want to beat LaRoche?

00:11:37You got to mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.

00:11:46I can't believe I slept with that.

00:11:49What was I thinking?

00:11:51I guess I can't hold my liquor.

00:11:53I mean, the night was just one big black hole.

00:11:57It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.

00:12:01That...

00:12:04Thing.

00:12:05That creep.

00:12:08You dickless loser.

00:12:17Drugging girls to get laid.

00:12:19What the fuck?

00:12:20Get out of my house, skank.

00:12:22I'm the skank?

00:12:24That's funny.

00:12:25You're the one spreading chlamydia.

00:12:27Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.

00:12:30Unless you're back for more, I know how much of a whore you really are.

00:12:34You like spreading your legs, don't you?

00:12:36I just told you that you have chlamydia, and you...

00:12:40Oh, my God.

00:12:41You already know you have it.

00:12:43And you don't care.

00:12:45Ladies, Andrey Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.

00:12:57What is she doing here?

00:12:58Both of you, get out of here.

00:13:00Oh, shit.

00:13:01Oh, shit.

00:13:02She can't know who I am yet.

00:13:07Do you know who I am?

00:13:14I don't care.

00:13:18Dad.

00:13:20Where did she come from?

00:13:21That's my wife.

00:13:23Isn't she amazing?

00:13:24And she's gonna cost you Andre once he finds out you're married to her.

00:13:27I don't care.

00:13:27You think you can crash my party and put that ninja shit on me?

00:13:32You are one dead bitch.

00:13:44Oh, nice.

00:13:46Did you see that combo?

00:13:47Dude, she can fight.

00:13:48Look at her form, man.

00:13:49Dude, she can really fight, man.

00:13:56You are hopeless.

00:13:58Hey, saw me jackets.

00:14:01I'll give you my Rolex.

00:14:01Fuck you, Roy.

00:14:26I'll do everything I can to end you.

00:14:29We should get out of here.

00:14:30Yeah, yeah.

00:14:30Come on.

00:14:31Ah!

00:14:34Get him!

00:14:37You lied to me.

00:14:39You're not some homeless guy.

00:14:40Okay, when did I say I was homeless?

00:14:42You were next to a dumpster.

00:14:44That's not much of a leap.

00:14:46What were you doing at this party?

00:14:47Work in the room.

00:14:49Oh, thought you were one of those asshole rich guys.

00:14:53I'm sorry.

00:14:54I hope I didn't cost you your job.

00:14:56I know how you can make it up to me.

00:14:58Have dinner with me.

00:15:00My place is nearby.

00:15:03I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.

00:15:05Wow.

00:15:06A wife who cooks and kicks ass.

00:15:09I'm one lucky man.

00:15:11Don't push it.

00:15:12Hey, dinner's ready.

00:15:22Hey, dinner's ready.

00:15:27This is nice.

00:15:28I haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time.

00:15:31It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.

00:15:34How long were you in the military?

00:15:35Seven years.

00:15:37I joined right after high school.

00:15:38My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.

00:15:42You weren't close with your father?

00:15:44I was.

00:15:46He was my hero.

00:15:46Until he wasn't.

00:15:51He cheated on my mom with Margo.

00:15:53He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.

00:15:56It was quite the scandal at the time.

00:15:59That must have been really hard for you.

00:16:02It was harder on my mom.

00:16:03She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too.

00:16:06Even started using my mom's maiden name.

00:16:08But then three years ago, he reached out, told me he was sick, so I came to New Orleans for a visit.

00:16:14Here I am.

00:16:15Here you are.

00:16:17Enough about me.

00:16:19What's your story, Griffin Roy?

00:16:22Oh.

00:16:24Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.

00:16:26We know you're in there, Shelby.

00:16:28The light is on.

00:16:29We are not leaving until you open this door.

00:16:31We are not leaving until you open this door.

00:16:34Hey.

00:16:36I'll handle this.

00:16:38Oh.

00:16:42I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling, but it's just you two.

00:16:47And you are?

00:16:48That's the homeless guy that she only married.

00:16:50What are you doing here?

00:16:52Why wouldn't Griffin be here?

00:16:53He's my husband, after all.

00:16:56Mama, what are we going to do?

00:16:57We need to challenge the will, but how can we do that if they're still together?

00:17:00Shut up, Cece.

00:17:01Oh.

00:17:02I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.

00:17:05How pathetic and pointless.

00:17:08Look how in love we are.

00:17:10Violet back.

00:17:13Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.

00:17:16Right.

00:17:17We're going to shred that will and your shame of marriage in no time.

00:17:19Margo and Cece are going to be a problem.

00:17:32There's no way they'll let us be.

00:17:34What if we moved in together?

00:17:37You want to live here?

00:17:39No.

00:17:40Somewhere with better security.

00:17:43Like my place.

00:17:45Sure.

00:17:46I'm dying to see where you live.

00:17:53So let me get this straight.

00:17:55You told her your house sitting?

00:17:57That's right.

00:17:58Said I was going to watch the house while the owner was in Europe for the year.

00:18:02You do know how crazy that sounds.

00:18:04Why can't you just tell her it's your place?

00:18:10I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.

00:18:14That's very flattering, but you don't know anything about me.

00:18:17I know you take my breath away.

00:18:19And I know that I would wonder for the rest of my life if I didn't take this chance.

00:18:23Even if it was only for one night.

00:18:25Maybe it's better this way.

00:18:28No names, no past.

00:18:31We can just be ourselves.

00:18:33I'd like that very much.

00:18:36The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.

00:18:39She liked me for me.

00:18:41And I want that again, Pierce.

00:18:44Even for a little while.

00:18:46Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.

00:18:56Griffin, you're a public figure.

00:18:59A lot of people know who you are.

00:19:01How long do you think you can keep this charade up?

00:19:04I don't know.

00:19:05But I have a chance to be with someone without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.

00:19:09Well, just remember.

00:19:11We're about to launch a multi-platform campaign.

00:19:13In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboards, your face is about to be everywhere.

00:19:21Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.

00:19:23This place is insane.

00:19:45The owner must really trust you.

00:19:46Yep, we're pretty tight.

00:19:51Here, let me show you to your room.

00:19:58I can't keep living in the past.

00:20:02Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.

00:20:11Goodbye, mystery lover.

00:20:12I take it things are going well with Xena Warrior Princess.

00:20:22Oh, she's so exciting and competitive.

00:20:24Keeps me on my toes.

00:20:26I'm so damn beautiful.

00:20:28Face, sweaty, no makeup.

00:20:29So damn real.

00:20:30Well, when do I get to meet her?

00:20:32Her military background and work with actress women will be a real asset for both female and male voters.

00:20:37Dial it back, Pierce.

00:20:39We're in the early stages.

00:20:40All right, well, don't take too long.

00:20:42You married her for the campaign.

00:20:44And it's not like she can dump you once she finds out.

00:20:47She needs you for her inheritance.

00:20:58Gun!

00:20:58I'm taking care of you tonight.

00:21:07Ooh, I like the sound of that.

00:21:09Get your mind out of the gutter, woman.

00:21:11I'm talking food here.

00:21:13All right, in that case, surprise me.

00:21:15Trust me, I'm full of surprises.

00:21:18I bet you are.

00:21:19See you soon.

00:21:20Gotcha, sis.

00:21:32So this is where you've been hiding now.

00:21:44Did you want some of wine?

00:21:46I turned off your alarm.

00:22:14You obviously needed to sleep.

00:22:16We can run tonight.

00:22:18P.S.

00:22:18You snore, but it's super cute.

00:22:21I do not snore, Griffin Roy.

00:22:32What are you doing in a place like this?

00:22:41I live here.

00:22:42When did you move in?

00:22:44Um, last week.

00:22:46We're house-sitting.

00:22:47Yeah, I have heard that one before.

00:22:49Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.

00:22:51Thieves are always trying to break in.

00:22:53Who are you calling a thief?

00:22:55Please step out.

00:22:57Now.

00:22:58What the hell are you doing?

00:23:01Just routine inspection.

00:23:02Let's see what else you're hiding here.

00:23:13Get your filthy hands off my wife!

00:23:16My wife?

00:23:16What?

00:23:22Oh.

00:23:23Cool.

00:23:24I thought I was saving you, but it looks like you got it.

00:23:28Oh, look out!

00:23:33Damn.

00:23:33Lady, you make it look easy.

00:23:36Are you hurt?

00:23:38It's my pride.

00:23:41Looks like you get it flat.

00:23:43Let's get out of here.

00:23:44We can take my car.

00:23:45This is yours?

00:23:48Borrowed it from a friend.

00:23:51Right.

00:23:54I know all the guards who work here, and you sure as hell aren't them.

00:23:58Who the hell are you, man?

00:24:00Some kind of big shot or something?

00:24:02Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.

00:24:03All right.

00:24:08You're under arrest.

00:24:10What the hell is going on?

00:24:19Well, that didn't go as planned.

00:24:23Mama, this is all your fault.

00:24:24You pushed me to hire those thugs to humiliate Shelby, and now my money's wasted, and she

00:24:29got off scot-free.

00:24:30Eyes on the prize, Cece.

00:24:31Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate, this will be pocket change.

00:24:35Yeah.

00:24:36And who would have thought that bum would have got the police involved in all this mess?

00:24:40I don't believe he's a bum.

00:24:41I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?

00:24:44No matter whether he's a tramp or not, he married Shelby for her money.

00:24:49Offer him a better deal, and he'll leave her.

00:24:52We annul the marriage and claim the entire estate.

00:24:57Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox, the port-a-potty billionaire, looking for a new job?

00:25:01A gigolo?

00:25:02That old cougar?

00:25:04Oh, Cece, honey.

00:25:05When they're that age, they're not cougars.

00:25:08They're saber-toothed tigers.

00:25:10Well, then we just got to make him an offer he can't refuse.

00:25:18You really should have iced these right away.

00:25:26I realize that now.

00:25:28I've only ever sparred with gloves on, never thrown a bare knuckle punch before.

00:25:33What?

00:25:37Did I just hand in my man card?

00:25:39No, you knocked a guy out with one punch.

00:25:41Your man card is fully intact.

00:25:45You just sounded like a prep school rich boy for a second.

00:25:52Not just for today, but for everything.

00:25:56It's been really lonely since my dad died, and it's nice having someone on my side.

00:26:01There's no need to thank me.

00:26:04I am your husband.

00:26:07Close your eyes.

00:26:08Close your eyes.

00:26:38Close your eyes.

00:26:41Sorry.

00:26:43I know we're just pretending.

00:26:46Right.

00:26:48Pretending.

00:26:52I'm gonna...

00:26:53I'm gonna go for a run.

00:26:57Okay, I'll come with...

00:27:00What if it's just me?

00:27:04Wouldn't that be ironic?

00:27:05The first woman I'm into for so long is not into me.

00:27:08Fuck!

00:27:09Griffin kissed me, and it felt just like that night three years ago.

00:27:29What's wrong with me?

00:27:31How can I feel the exact same way for two different men?

00:27:34I don't know.

00:27:46He looks like a wet street dog.

00:27:48I'll shower in a haircut.

00:27:50He'll be marginally presentable.

00:27:52Hey!

00:27:53You!

00:27:53We got a proposition for you.

00:28:00How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?

00:28:03Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.

00:28:05Get in.

00:28:06Are you sure he's not homeless?

00:28:21Eats like a dirty pig.

00:28:22So you want me to divorce Shelby

00:28:25and marry Victoria Wilcox, the shithouse billionaire?

00:28:30You will refer to them as Port-A-Potty's young man.

00:28:39We know you're after Shelby's inheritance,

00:28:42but she's never gonna see it.

00:28:44Well, he'll do.

00:28:47Oh, he'll do just nicely.

00:28:56Wait a minute.

00:28:57Have we met before because you look real familiar?

00:29:01Oh, no.

00:29:03Nope, I don't think I run in your kinds of circles, Ms. Wilcox.

00:29:07The first document are official divorce papers.

00:29:13The first document are official divorce papers.

00:29:17And you will also be paid 20 grand a month

00:29:19to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.

00:29:24Hmm.

00:29:25Oh, you don't need to worry, boy,

00:29:27because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.

00:29:32Mm, mm.

00:29:33Ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:29:34Ha, ha, ha.

00:29:36Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:29:38Ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:29:40Hmm.

00:29:45I don't understand.

00:29:47This says...

00:29:48You're under arrest for pandering.

00:29:52Detective McSwain,

00:29:53this woman has tried to recruit me as a sex worker.

00:29:58That's a Class C felony.

00:29:59He's lying.

00:30:03And you will also be paid 20 grand a month

00:30:05to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.

00:30:12Detective!

00:30:14Detective, Detective!

00:30:15There must be some misunderstanding.

00:30:17There's no nonsense going on here.

00:30:19No, you can't arrest me on the word of that bum.

00:30:22He set me up.

00:30:23Detective McSwain, it's getting late.

00:30:27I'd like to go home to see my wife.

00:30:28Oh.

00:30:29Wait.

00:30:30You have made a big mistake rejecting me.

00:30:39I'm a woman of wealth and power that you cannot fathom.

00:30:44I will make you pay very dearly for this.

00:30:47I don't think anyone mentioned my last name.

00:30:50It's Roy.

00:30:52Well, I knew you looked familiar, you see,

00:30:59but I'm just an old woman.

00:31:01You could forgive me.

00:31:03Get out of my face.

00:31:04All right, we got her in the car.

00:31:14How far do you want this to go?

00:31:16Put the fear of God in there.

00:31:18Mugshot, fingerprints, thorax.

00:31:20Then in the morning, drop the charges

00:31:22before the press gets wind.

00:31:24Piercer to have your hide.

00:31:26You got it, Griff.

00:31:27Where have you been?

00:31:40I was worried you were gone so long.

00:31:43Yeah?

00:31:44Yeah.

00:31:46Uh, are you hungry?

00:31:47I can heat up some leftovers.

00:31:50Yeah, I'd like that.

00:31:54Did that just happen?

00:31:55Maybe I'd have a shot with her after all.

00:32:09Oh, baby, my little girl.

00:32:12I will never forget the humiliation that man has caused us.

00:32:16Don't you worry, Mama.

00:32:18I have a plan.

00:32:19I had all night to think about it in that cold, hard cell.

00:32:23Well, if he doesn't want to divorce Shelby, fine.

00:32:27We'll just force Shelby to divorce him.

00:32:30And I'd know just where to hit it where it hurts.

00:32:35He's amazing.

00:32:37I think we shaved 30 seconds off that time.

00:32:55I thought I was competitive.

00:32:57You even compete with yourself.

00:32:58If you're not growing.

00:33:09You're dying.

00:33:11I, um...

00:33:13I'm gonna go shower.

00:33:15Me too.

00:33:20Get a grip, Shelby.

00:33:22So he's hot.

00:33:23You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.

00:33:26What makes him any different?

00:33:29He just is.

00:33:34Hey, Zara.

00:33:35Shelby, you have to get here right away.

00:33:38Buford's kicking us out the gym.

00:33:39I'm sorry.

00:33:45My hands are tied.

00:33:48I sense we have to leave.

00:33:49Okay, I got this.

00:33:51Mr. Buford, what are you doing?

00:33:53This is my place of business.

00:33:54You're done here.

00:33:55I sold the building.

00:33:56The new owners want you out.

00:33:58That's illegal.

00:33:59I have a lease.

00:34:00They've got a break clause for new management,

00:34:03and they've decided to activate it.

00:34:04Who the hell is they?

00:34:06Hey.

00:34:06That would be us.

00:34:15Cliff, we can take it from here.

00:34:17Sure thing.

00:34:17Pleasure doing business with some ladies.

00:34:19I know you used all your army money for this gym,

00:34:23but you can get it back.

00:34:25All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.

00:34:29Get a divorce, give up your inheritance,

00:34:31and then you can keep your dinky, smelly gym.

00:34:36I bet you want to hit me so bad.

00:34:45Not so tough now?

00:34:46All right, Shelby.

00:34:48Screw you.

00:34:49I'll just pack up and find a new location.

00:34:51Sorry.

00:34:52The building is now closed for renovations,

00:34:56and everything inside now belongs to me.

00:35:00Of course, you could sue, but that would take months.

00:35:05Well, what would happen to your gym now, Shelby?

00:35:08That's blackmail.

00:35:09We like to call it capitalism.

00:35:12You don't sign, we close the gym,

00:35:14and then you lose everything.

00:35:15Think about what you're doing.

00:35:19This gym is a lifeline for so many women.

00:35:22I won't let you take it from them.

00:35:24You can beg, but I won't budge.

00:35:28Be a smart girl and sign the papers by tomorrow,

00:35:31or you can kiss your Valkyrie fight club goodbye.

00:35:36And watch us turn it into Valkyrie street club.

00:35:41This is not a good idea.

00:35:43There's poles and everything.

00:35:44Oh, my.

00:35:45Plenty of girls.

00:35:46Ooh.

00:35:46They're cute.

00:35:47They are cute.

00:35:49Cute enough.

00:35:49I'm not here because I give a damn if you win.

00:36:01I'm here to make sure that Grif and Roy doesn't.

00:36:04Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

00:36:08The fuck you say?

00:36:10What exactly did Roy do to earn your loathing?

00:36:14He partnered up against me with a she-warrior.

00:36:16I want to see them both destroyed.

00:36:21Well, with your connections and my political might,

00:36:25I think that might be able to be arranged.

00:36:36LaRose got Andre.

00:36:37What are we going to do about this?

00:36:40Nothing.

00:36:41We do not want these two pairing up, all right?

00:36:43This is political suicide.

00:36:45Just talk to Shelby.

00:36:46Maybe if you both apologize-

00:36:48Um, hell no.

00:36:49Let them do their best.

00:36:51Mark my words, this is going to come back to bite you in the ass.

00:37:00Hello, Shelby.

00:37:02Griffin, we need to talk.

00:37:11Shelby?

00:37:12What's going on?

00:37:13You sounded tense on the phone.

00:37:15I have so many missed moments.

00:37:19Things I should have said or done.

00:37:22Chances that were lost that might have been pivotal to my life.

00:37:25I don't want you to be another moment that I miss.

00:37:28You first.

00:37:41You first.

00:38:06You first.

00:38:33What is that?

00:38:50Fucking amazing.

00:38:51Griffin, where are you going?

00:39:05Griffin?

00:39:07Griffin?

00:39:10Explain yourself.

00:39:12Toothbrush.

00:39:15BJ's, this is Jacques.

00:39:19Why?

00:39:20You're my wife.

00:39:22I sleep with you now.

00:39:23We probably should have talked this through.

00:39:26Yeah.

00:39:27You said you had missed moments.

00:39:30I've had them too.

00:39:32You will not be one of them.

00:39:35I know we said we were pretending, but I want to give us a chance.

00:39:40A real one.

00:39:42Oh?

00:39:50I need you.

00:40:06Yeah.

00:40:07Oh, now, pronounce ye man and wife.

00:40:32Guess the bonnie last, why don't you?

00:40:41Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour.

00:40:55We can go over the divorce papers.

00:40:56Goodbye, my husband.

00:41:03I knew something must have happened.

00:41:18Hello.

00:41:20Pierce.

00:41:21I need you to use all your connections to find out what Cece and Margot Trudeau did to Shelby

00:41:25yesterday.

00:41:26Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.

00:41:31It's five in the morning.

00:41:33You have an hour.

00:41:40How did Cece get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?

00:41:45She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral.

00:41:48Stupid.

00:41:49Good for us, bad for them.

00:41:51And the property title?

00:41:53Still in escrow.

00:41:54The title hasn't been transferred yet.

00:41:56Make sure it is.

00:41:57Your name.

00:41:58You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive.

00:42:02Oh.

00:42:03Goody, goody.

00:42:09Talk to me, McSwain.

00:42:10I showed the fake guards in lockup Cece Trudeau's mugshot.

00:42:13You're right.

00:42:14She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife.

00:42:16How'd you know?

00:42:17Had her M.O. written all over it.

00:42:19I take it the kid gloves are off this time?

00:42:22Oh, yeah.

00:42:23Cece Trudeau thinks she's untouchable.

00:42:25Let's show her just how wrong she is.

00:42:35I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.

00:42:38I definitely have.

00:42:40Showtime.

00:42:42I'm your campaign manager, not some hired muscle.

00:42:46Here's what I think about your agreement.

00:42:52Did you see that?

00:42:53Did you see that?

00:42:54She chose me, man.

00:42:55She chose me.

00:42:56Well, hell.

00:42:57Looks like she did.

00:42:59You fucking bitch!

00:43:02That's her cue.

00:43:07Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby.

00:43:09You're gonna lose everything.

00:43:11You know, at least I still have my self-respect.

00:43:13Which is more than I can say for you.

00:43:15Don't be hasty Cece.

00:43:16She's basically a man.

00:43:17You'll get hurt.

00:43:18I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine.

00:43:21But I will never agree to your demands.

00:43:25Reclaim what's yours.

00:43:27You're never gonna step foot in your precious gym ever again.

00:43:30That will be difficult to enforce since I now own the building.

00:43:37Who the hell are you?

00:43:39Pierce Durand.

00:43:40The new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.

00:43:43What?

00:43:44What?

00:43:47Your deal fell out of escrow.

00:43:50I swooped in and bought it.

00:43:52That's impossible.

00:43:53I own it.

00:43:55Let me spell this out in a way that even an imbecile will understand.

00:43:59I outbid you.

00:44:00The building is mine.

00:44:02Now scram.

00:44:04I never...

00:44:05Miss Trudeau.

00:44:06I want to ensure you that your lease is secure.

00:44:09The only change will be a 40% rent reduction.

00:44:14That's unbelievable.

00:44:15Are you sure you can afford that?

00:44:17Oh yeah.

00:44:19Thank you, Mr. Durand.

00:44:22The gym means a lot to the women in this community.

00:44:31Cece Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion.

00:44:33The fake guards identified you as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau.

00:44:38Okay, well, but that was last week.

00:44:40You can't arrest me now.

00:44:41We most certainly can.

00:44:43And this time the charges won't be dropped.

00:44:45No!

00:44:46No!

00:44:47No!

00:44:48No!

00:44:49You can't take my girl!

00:44:50No!

00:44:51I'm coming after you.

00:44:52I'm never gonna forget this when I get out.

00:44:53You're mine!

00:45:02Zara?

00:45:04Call everyone.

00:45:06Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.

00:45:08Oh!

00:45:09Ah!

00:45:13Oh...

00:45:15Well, aren't you gonna go over there?

00:45:17You are the one that orchestrated this whole thing.

00:45:20No.

00:45:21It's her victory.

00:45:23I merely did what a husband shouldn't.

00:45:25To ensure her happiness.

00:45:27That's my reward.

00:45:28That is some wild shit you despite it.

00:45:31This girl is seriously causing you to lose it, Griff.

00:45:33You worry too much, and you don't worry enough. We have a campaign to win, and you're ten points behind LaRoche in all the latest polls

00:45:41What are you driving at?

00:45:43Tell Shelby who you are

00:45:45The voters need to know who your wife is and we need to be able to shape the narrative

00:45:49You wait too long and Neville LaRoche is gonna find out and beat us to it

00:45:54Okay

00:45:55I'll tell her I just

00:45:59I need a few more days of just me with her

00:46:02Then I'll confess everything

00:46:13That's Shelby Trudeau, owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club

00:46:18Pretty girl

00:46:20So she's screwing Duran DeRoy. I don't know, sir.

00:46:25That luncheon was so boring Neville

00:46:28Those stuck-up twats kept going on and on about their precious lineages dating back to the Mayflower

00:46:39Not everyone's bought trash like you, Isabel

00:46:41It is a wonder how you overcame your low-class origins and gained my interest

00:46:50That wasn't your interest, darling. That was your cock

00:46:54Hmm. Touche, my dear

00:46:56Why are you looking at a picture of her?

00:46:58Do you know Shelby Trudeau?

00:47:00Well, she went by Michelle in high school

00:47:03But yeah, that's her

00:47:05She was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school

00:47:10From bullies like you

00:47:12Per se

00:47:13Oh, that is unfortunate

00:47:17You'll have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect

00:47:22No, no

00:47:23Me and your new bestie, Isabel

00:47:25Baby, no

00:47:27It's cooling off

00:47:35You should go inside

00:47:36Just a few more minutes

00:47:39Can't remember the last time I let myself just be

00:47:43Yeah

00:47:46I think it was when my parents were still together

00:47:48Before the divorce, the cheating, mom getting sick

00:47:54I was carefree then

00:47:56I joined the army after but

00:47:58That was just another roller coaster

00:48:00It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory

00:48:04Cutting off weapon supply routes

00:48:06Well, I'm glad you feel safe here

00:48:09It's not the place, it's the person

00:48:13I feel like I've known you forever

00:48:16Shelby, I have to tell you something

00:48:24I guess I can wait one more day

00:48:33Our most sought after class at Valkyrie

00:48:42Is our women's self-defense kickboxing

00:48:44Sign me up

00:48:48Oh, shit

00:48:50Isabel

00:48:51The girl who made my life

00:48:53And everyone else is a living hell in high school

00:48:55What sneaky BS is she up to?

00:48:58Oh my gosh, Michelle

00:49:00Is that you?

00:49:02I go by Shelby now

00:49:03You look amazing

00:49:05Michelle, Shelby

00:49:07And I go way back

00:49:09Gosh

00:49:10What a small world

00:49:12Well, for our membership

00:49:13We offer weekly and monthly subscriptions

00:49:16How about I pay up front for three years?

00:49:19And I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join

00:49:23You know, if you're really serious about this

00:49:24You'll have to lose the bling before class

00:49:30I was a mean girl in high school

00:49:32And I'm really ashamed of it

00:49:34What you've built here is so empowering

00:49:38If I had had something like this growing up

00:49:40Then maybe I would have found the courage to

00:49:42Stop my pa from all the horrible things he did to me and Ma

00:49:49Shelby, can we start over?

00:49:50Would you let me try to make it right?

00:49:57Okay

00:49:57This is so awesome

00:50:08How about lunch?

00:50:09I'm free to grab a bite right now

00:50:11We can catch up

00:50:14Okay

00:50:15Let me grab my bag

00:50:16Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign

00:50:29He's pro-union

00:50:31And has a five-point plan to improve workplace safety regulations

00:50:35Shit

00:50:37No, no, not you

00:50:39I gotta call you back

00:50:46Laroche knows about Shelby

00:50:50He sicked Isabelle longer

00:50:51Look, here's her Instagram

00:50:55What the fuck

00:50:57Laroche's oppo research must have tagged her

00:50:59Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin

00:51:01Screw the narrative, it's a trap

00:51:04They've got my wife

00:51:11Thought this was supposed to be a quick bite

00:51:14I have a business to run, you know

00:51:15You haven't changed a bit since high school

00:51:18So dedicated

00:51:18I've always admired that about you

00:51:22All right, cut the crap, Izzy

00:51:24Others might buy your ladylike act

00:51:26But I know you're still the same vicious bully inside

00:51:31You didn't come to my gym by accident

00:51:32What's your angle?

00:51:33Neville asked me to befriend you

00:51:35I don't want to be here

00:51:37So I can just add that to the list of reasons

00:51:39Why I fucking loathe you

00:51:42What's my angle, Shelby?

00:51:45The complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy

00:51:48And if I can take you down with him

00:51:51All the better

00:51:57Shelby, listen to me

00:51:58The press are on their way

00:52:00I don't have time to explain

00:52:00But I fucked up

00:52:02You have to get out of that restaurant

00:52:04Now

00:52:08Too late to run

00:52:10My hubby's here

00:52:11Leaving so soon, Miss Trudeau

00:52:13Or should I say

00:52:14Mrs. Roy

00:52:15Come on, Shelby, pick up

00:52:20Let me know you got out of there

00:52:24Who the hell are you?

00:52:24Congressman

00:52:26Neville LaRoche

00:52:28I understand why your husband probably never mentioned me

00:52:31Seeing as how there's so much he hasn't told you

00:52:33Please, sit down

00:52:34Isabel was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived

00:52:38No matter

00:52:41We'll do this the less

00:52:42Genteel way if we must

00:52:46Both of these men are retired navy seals

00:52:49I've heard a lot about your fighting skills

00:52:52So I became prepared

00:52:53What's this about?

00:53:02What's this about?

00:53:04I spoke with your stepmother

00:53:05Margo

00:53:07She had quite the story to tell

00:53:10It seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bum

00:53:13On the streets

00:53:14And actually

00:53:16He's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state

00:53:20I can't believe you fell for that

00:53:22Not so smart now, are you Shelby?

00:53:26You're lying

00:53:27You are Roy's secret bride

00:53:30A woman he is so ashamed of

00:53:32He would hide the marriage for the rest of the world

00:53:35When the press arrives

00:53:37You will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana

00:53:41So that they may know

00:53:43What kind of man Roy really is

00:53:51Hey, I got you

00:53:58Let me go

00:54:00Shelby, please

00:54:02Why did you keep your marriage a secret?

00:54:04The voters have a right to know

00:54:05What else are you hiding?

00:54:07You son of a bitch

00:54:09Well now Roy

00:54:11Don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes

00:54:21Michelle

00:54:25Michelle

00:54:25Please hear me out

00:54:27Don't shell me

00:54:30All of your charm

00:54:31It's just a lie

00:54:33I never meant to let it get this far

00:54:36I planned on coming clean

00:54:37More lies, Griffin Roy?

00:54:39I was going to tell you today

00:54:40Convenient

00:54:43Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start?

00:54:45Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?

00:54:47That was always a possibility

00:54:52Get away from my house

00:54:54This is technically my home

00:54:57How sitting my ass

00:55:00You are the worst and I never want to see you again

00:55:05Shelby

00:55:12Professional candidate Griffin Roy has a secret bride

00:55:15Our reporter is

00:55:17I don't know

00:55:47You got to get a sip of that?

00:56:13This is private property?

00:56:15Which I own.

00:56:16Liar. Pierce Durand owns this building.

00:56:18He works for me.

00:56:20Then I'll move.

00:56:21I don't want to owe you anything.

00:56:36Oh Shelby, Shelby, come out would you please?

00:56:40I wake up in the morning and reach for you, but you're not there.

00:56:47I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.

00:56:59Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?

00:57:01You're ridiculous. You do know that, don't you?

00:57:06Oh Shelby, Shelby, don't leave me hanging.

00:57:11What are you doing? You're supposed to turn it on.

00:57:13Yeah, I got it from a pawn shop. It's broken. The guy totally scammed me.

00:57:23You are beyond ridiculous.

00:57:25Please, Shelby, I didn't say what I wanted to before. Just give me a chance to explain.

00:57:32Fine. Come in, you fool.

00:57:38Yeah, I'll come into my own house.

00:57:45You have two minutes.

00:57:46Growing up as a Roy, no one ever liked me for me.

00:58:00It's always been about the money, the excess.

00:58:04Then, at a moment, three years ago, where someone did, like me, for me.

00:58:15They had no idea who I was.

00:58:18And I just remember how freeing it felt.

00:58:22So when I met you, and I felt that spark I've been searching for, I didn't think.

00:58:33I just fucking left.

00:58:36Why wait so long to tell me?

00:58:38I've never gone into enemy territory to cut off weapons supply routes.

00:58:44I boxed in prep school.

00:58:47Yeah, you got that right.

00:58:48But otherwise, I've always been more of a lover rather than a fighter.

00:58:56And I've done well as a lawyer.

00:58:58But I did not earn those billions.

00:59:02I inherited them from generations of dickheads.

00:59:09When you meet a girl who's a total package, you just want to be her total package, too.

00:59:15You really are ridiculous.

00:59:19You know, I have laughed more with you in the past two weeks than I have in my entire life.

00:59:24I'm way too serious, Griffin.

00:59:27Sometimes I forget how to let go.

00:59:29But with you, every day is fun.

00:59:32So, does that mean you forgive me?

00:59:35I'm thinking about it.

00:59:37Yeah.

00:59:38You think too much.

00:59:39Time for make-up sex.

00:59:41So, that's make-up sex.

00:59:42Yeah.

00:59:44Griffin, it hurts so much thinking we were over.

00:59:46I know.

00:59:47I never want to feel like that again.

00:59:49I promise not to let anything get in between us.

00:59:51This changes everything.

00:59:52Now, thanks for the heads-up.

00:59:53I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried for as long as possible.

00:59:54I know.

00:59:55I know.

00:59:56I know.

00:59:57I know.

00:59:58I know.

00:59:59I know.

01:00:00I know.

01:00:01I know.

01:00:02I know.

01:00:03I know.

01:00:04I know.

01:00:05I know.

01:00:06I know.

01:00:07I know.

01:00:08It's a difference.

01:00:09I know.

01:00:10I mean.

01:00:11I know.

01:00:12It's a shame.

01:00:14It's not to let anything get in between us.

01:00:16It's not...

01:00:17It's not to let anything get in between us.

01:00:19It's not to let anything get in between us.

01:00:22It's not to let anything get in between us.

01:00:24This changes everything.

01:00:28Now, thanks for the heads-up.

01:00:30I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried for as long as possible.

01:12:54so

01:13:05so

01:13:15so

01:13:17That's strange.

01:13:46I thought I heard something.

01:14:16It's like she was never here.

01:14:23She took everything but left this behind.

01:14:41Message received, Shelby.

01:14:43What the hell is this?

01:14:53I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain but if you help me I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.

01:15:04This place is insane.

01:15:06The owner must really trust you.

01:15:11Could it be?

01:15:13It's her.

01:15:25It's always been her.

01:15:28Yeah, it went better than I expected.

01:15:31Yeah, it went better than I expected.

01:15:33As soon as you saw the forged DNA test it was a done deal.

01:15:36Who is she working for?

01:15:38How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby?

01:15:41Give me your name.

01:15:42Come on, just one name.

01:15:43Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close.

01:15:46I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead.

01:15:50Where is Shelby?

01:15:52Where is my wife?

01:15:54Where is Isabel taking her?

01:15:56I don't know what you're talking about.

01:15:57I will have you put away for the rest of your life and your daughter will grow up in a fucking orphanage.

01:16:03I don't know where she is.

01:16:05If I knew I'd tell you, I swear.

01:16:20What is wrong with me?

01:16:25Help!

01:16:27Somebody help!

01:16:30Do you need some water?

01:16:32Oh wait, I see you've already had some.

01:16:35You poisoned me?

01:16:37Why?

01:16:39Why?

01:16:40Why?

01:16:42Where to begin?

01:16:45Lingering high school issues, offs.

01:16:48I'm helping Neville's campaign, duh.

01:16:51But the real reason, the one that cuts deep, is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist.

01:16:58By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice, you'll have gone missing, vanished without a trace.

01:17:07He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.

01:17:10Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body, suspicion will follow Griffin for the rest of his life.

01:17:17Any political future he may have had will be as dead as you.

01:17:21Nut.

01:17:23Back up.

01:17:25Married?

01:17:26Twice?

01:17:28Who's the...

01:17:30The woman and the little girl?

01:17:32Oh, just some cheap whore I hired to tell your husband that they've been married for the past three years.

01:17:39When really, it's been you all along.

01:17:43You've been searching for each other all this time, but now he'll never find you.

01:17:48All right, boys, she's all yours.

01:17:54I told you I'd get you back.

01:17:59Miss Trudeau, why are you here?

01:18:00My daughter, my baby, she's here. I'm scared she's gonna do something terrible.

01:18:14What do you mean terrible? What's going on?

01:18:17I sold everything to get her out on bail and you...

01:18:21What does she do in return? She's... she's gone crazy.

01:18:25She's stalking Shelby. She tailed her to some hotel in the French corner.

01:18:32What hotel?

01:18:34Excuse me, sir. My sister's staying here, but I've forgotten her room number.

01:18:39It's Shelby Trudeau.

01:18:40Sorry, ma'am. We can't disclose any guest information.

01:18:50Shelby...

01:18:54Come out. Come out wherever you are.

01:19:05I think I'll do it with my bare hands.

01:19:07Makes it more personal.

01:19:11Actually, do me a favor. Leave a lot of marks on that base of hers.

01:19:16Fuck you.

01:19:18I want people to see that she suffered. A lot.

01:19:22Oh, trust me. She will.

01:19:24Come on. Let's get this party started.

01:19:26Look what you've done.

01:19:43Pansy-ass slap.

01:19:44She's stalling. And you're falling for it.

01:19:48Damn. Can't go to the valet smelling like a dive bar.

01:19:52I'll never give you your car keys.

01:19:54Shelby has clothes over there.

01:19:56James.

01:19:58I'll take care of me. You go take care of her.

01:19:59I found it, Griff. Shelby Trudeau tainted her name to Michelle Blaine. It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request. She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago.

01:20:21It's starting to make sense now.

01:20:26It was harder on my mom. She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too. Even started using my mom's maiden name.

01:20:33She's the one you've been looking for. It's been her all this time. How could it be so blind? Of course it had to be Shelby. It had to be her. My heart knew what my brain couldn't see.

01:20:48I got it. Your girl's in room 801.

01:20:51Thanks, man. Now I gotta go save the love of my life.

01:20:55Too much to drink.

01:21:02Too much to drink.

01:21:03Too much to drink.

01:21:11Stop right there.

01:21:17Not so fast.

01:21:19Griffin fucking Roy. Finally joined the party.

01:21:25I'm here for my wife.

01:21:27Not gonna happen, brah.

01:21:29What you've done here is aggravated assault, but if you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping.

01:21:35That is a federal crime. Don't bring in the FBI.

01:21:39Someone will have to be around to identify us. That sure as hell won't be you.

01:21:43Did you get all that, Pierce?

01:21:47Police are on their way. Hang in there, buddy.

01:21:52You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.

01:21:53If you're alive, Roy.

01:22:12Give me my wife back now!

01:22:13Get back now!

01:22:31Shelby, you alright?

01:22:34No!

01:22:35Don't!

01:22:36zmian!

01:22:41.

01:22:43.

01:22:45taken.

01:22:53.

01:22:57.

01:23:01.

01:23:02Grif, my god.

01:23:09Do you need medical attention?

01:23:10No, but they do.

01:23:21I guess I renewed my man card.

01:23:24Sure did, honey.

01:23:25Fucked him up real good.

01:23:28Oh, Lord.

01:23:29Please tell me there's something other than fatigues

01:23:31and combat boots in this thing.

01:23:42Shelby!

01:23:43You little bitch!

01:23:45Didn't I say I'd come back here and settle the score?

01:23:49What?

01:23:50That's not Shelby!

01:23:54Put your hands up where I can see him.

01:23:55Is it the last one?

01:24:01Hey, hey, hey.

01:24:02I want to make a deal.

01:24:04What do you have to offer up?

01:24:05Congressman Neville LaRoche.

01:24:08I'm all ears.

01:24:16Is it really over?

01:24:18Yeah, it is.

01:24:18Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but three years ago, did we?

01:24:29You left us.

01:24:38It's true.

01:24:39I can't believe I finally found you.

01:24:43I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met.

01:24:48Why did you never come back?

01:24:49It's called a walk of shame, not a life of it.

01:25:10Mind your own business, Cece.

01:25:12Look at you, Shelby.

01:25:13One Mardi Gras hookup, and you think you found happily ever after.

01:25:18That's not how life works.

01:25:20Sure, he may have liked you with a mask on, but he's not going to want you with it off.

01:25:25Look, you both have a great memory now, but you'll look back and you'll see that you're

01:25:30just the clueless chick who didn't know the score.

01:25:34You'll embarrass yourself, and more importantly, you'll embarrass him.

01:25:43I waited in that hotel for two days.

01:25:47I'm sorry I let her get to me, but to be honest, what we had seemed too good to be true.

01:25:53How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?

01:25:57Exactly.

01:26:01But I did.

01:26:03And I do.

01:26:04Where do we go from here?

01:26:07Married twice.

01:26:08Deeply in love.

01:26:10Risked our lives to save each other.

01:26:11I'd say we live happily every after.

01:26:17Shelby, will you?

01:26:19Yes, Griffin Roy.

01:26:24I will always love you.

01:26:27In this life or the next.

01:26:28Stay in your lane.

01:26:42Do what you're told and get paid.

01:26:44That's it.

01:26:45I told you I'm not doing the clinical trial.

01:26:47And we don't have that kind of money.

01:26:50Fake relationship?

01:26:53You're firing me.

01:26:54Until you get married or produce an heir, you are relieved of your CEO duties.

01:26:59So, phase one.

01:27:00Introduce me to your grandfather as your girlfriend.

01:27:02He's going to really need to buy it.

01:27:04Nathan?

01:27:05If his grandpa sees through a little act, I can kiss the money goodbye.

01:27:11I didn't see anything.

01:27:14Do you think your grandpa bought the fake proposal?

01:27:19You were pretty convincing.

01:27:21I'm doing this for my sister.

01:27:23But gosh, he's so hot.

01:27:27There's a lot of stuff that needs to happen before we get to the...

01:27:30The baby?

01:27:32I'm starting to want this to be real.

01:27:35So I can't be real.

01:27:36I need this girl to be classy.

01:27:47Most importantly, she needs to be educated.

01:27:50She needs to be able to hold a conversation and not embarrass herself in front of a crowd.

01:27:54Do you have a girl like that for me?

01:27:56Mr. Reed, I can find you any girl you need.

01:28:01For the right price.

01:28:04Of course.

01:28:04How much?

01:28:07So let me get this straight.

01:28:09You need a girl who can fake marry you for one year,

01:28:12move into your mansion and play wife,

01:28:14and on top of all that, give you a baby.

01:28:17Correct.

01:28:17No love.

01:28:18No sex.

01:28:20No...
