00:00:00I'm bored.
00:00:12According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married
00:00:18by five o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:22That unladied-like girl is not my daughter.
00:00:25Bad enough I'm her stepmother.
00:00:27Ryan, hello.
00:00:29You want Shelby to know show, that's the way we get everything.
00:00:44I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
00:00:46I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:48Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister, and dressed in your old uniform.
00:00:53Pathetic.
00:00:54Still trying to play hero.
00:00:56I'm in the Army Reserve now, CC.
00:00:58I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:01:01The will, please.
00:01:02Ooh, the Army Reserve.
00:01:03Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier.
00:01:09No one would have missed you.
00:01:10Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:01:14You don't have to respect me, but don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on
00:01:18the battlefield.
00:01:19God, look around, CC, with your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:01:24Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
00:01:28You have freedom and peace because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:01:34Of course, the will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:01:42And I want to thank you for your service.
00:01:48Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours, only if signed by both you and your
00:01:54spouse.
00:01:55Woo!
00:01:56That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:02:01Tick-tock.
00:02:02Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:02:16Give up your inheritance and I'll give you 1% of better than nothing.
00:02:22You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:02:24You will not take what he left me.
00:02:26And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.
00:02:33Really Shelby, who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:02:36The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:02:52Don't.
00:02:55Keep the mystery.
00:02:59You've already lost, Shelby.
00:03:01Take the 1% I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:03:05Right.
00:03:06You're not even going to find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:03:11Watch me.
00:03:16Watch me.
00:03:23Don't worry.
00:03:38He looks single.
00:03:39Oh my God, this is totally food bar.
00:03:43Suck it up, soldier.
00:03:45You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:03:48Hey, mister, will you marry me?
00:04:03I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain, but if you help me, I promise
00:04:07a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
00:04:09Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:04:12So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:04:14Do I look like a homeless person there?
00:04:16Priceless.
00:04:17Shelby Trudeau, are you insane?
00:04:22You can't marry this helpful.
00:04:27Shelby Trudeau, the late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:04:31That's right.
00:04:32The judge said she was a soldier.
00:04:34He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:04:37Here's a few bucks.
00:04:38Take it and get lost.
00:04:40Don't meddle in our business.
00:04:42Don't speak to him like that.
00:04:43He's a person with feelings.
00:04:46The Cinderella Tale, complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister.
00:04:51It's clear who deserves my help, and the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:04:56All right, let's get married.
00:05:13Names for the marriage certificate?
00:05:15Shelby Trudeau.
00:05:18And your name is?
00:05:20Griff Neroi.
00:05:43Congratulations, you lovebirds.
00:05:55This isn't over.
00:05:56Tell her.
00:06:03Sergeant Trudeau, Mrs. Roy.
00:06:06You have to stay married for at least one full year, or everything goes to your stepmother
00:06:12and stepsister.
00:06:14You hear that, Shelby?
00:06:16You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:06:22Come on.
00:06:28I guess we'll need to keep in touch, but you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:06:34Once the estate gets settled and I have the money, we can get you an apartment and set
00:06:39you up with a job.
00:06:40When most people get what they wanted, they usually just walk away.
00:06:44I'm not most people.
00:06:47I see that.
00:06:55I gotta return this.
00:06:58Goodbye for now.
00:07:01Goodbye, wife.
00:07:15Where the hell have you been?
00:07:31Gotcha.
00:07:33Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:07:37This DNA, get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:07:41Look, as your campaign manager, I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:07:47You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
00:07:53Marrying Isabel was the best decision of my life.
00:07:57You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago, you got a package deal.
00:08:03Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor, playboy lawyer, best.
00:08:09This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:08:12In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women.
00:08:16You want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:08:18Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:08:22It's not just some girl.
00:08:24We had a connection.
00:08:26Never had that before.
00:08:33Look, I gotta run.
00:08:35But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
00:08:39Someone real.
00:08:40Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:08:56Up!
00:08:58Up!
00:09:00Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:09:03It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:09:06Alright guys, that's class.
00:09:08Nice work.
00:09:15So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:09:18I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:09:22Who knows how many other women he's done this to.
00:09:25So I was thinking, maybe it's time to go by his place and confront him in person.
00:09:32What's holding you back?
00:09:34Andre's no regular guy, Shelby.
00:09:36He's got a bro pack.
00:09:38These men are like wolves with mutton.
00:09:40Let's go.
00:09:41We'll face this douchebag together.
00:09:44Let's go.
00:10:03What's your name?
00:10:04I'm Stephanie.
00:10:05How about a drink, huh?
00:10:07Oh, that's okay.
00:10:08Come on, one little drink won't do no harm.
00:10:11Okay, one drink.
00:10:13Really, Pierce?
00:10:14This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:10:17You wanna beat LaRoche?
00:10:19You gotta mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:10:28I can't believe I slept with that.
00:10:30What was I thinking?
00:10:32I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:10:35I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
00:10:39It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
00:10:43Thanks.
00:10:46That creep.
00:10:48You dickless loser.
00:10:58Drugging girls to get laid.
00:11:00What the fuck?
00:11:01Get out of my house, skank.
00:11:03I'm the skank?
00:11:05That's funny.
00:11:06You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:11:08Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:11:11Unless you're back from horror,
00:11:13I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:11:15You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:11:17I just told you that you have chlamydia, and you...
00:11:20Oh, my God.
00:11:22You already know you have it.
00:11:24And you don't care.
00:11:27Ladies!
00:11:28Andre Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
00:11:38What is she doing here?
00:11:40Both of you, get out of here.
00:11:46Oh, shit.
00:11:47She can't know who I am yet.
00:11:54Do you know who I am?
00:11:55I don't care.
00:12:01Where did she come from?
00:12:03That's my wife.
00:12:04Isn't she amazing?
00:12:05And she's gonna cost you, Andre, once he finds out you're married to her?
00:12:08I don't care.
00:12:09You think you can crash my party
00:12:11and put that ninja shit on me?
00:12:14You are one dead bitch.
00:12:26Oh, nice.
00:12:27Did you see that combo?
00:12:29Dude, she can fight.
00:12:30Look at her form, man.
00:12:36Dude, she can really fight, man.
00:12:38You are hopeless.
00:12:40Hey.
00:12:41Sell me jackets.
00:12:42I'll give you my Rolex.
00:13:06Fuck you, Roy!
00:13:07I'll do everything I can to end you!
00:13:10We should get out of here.
00:13:11Yeah, yeah.
00:13:12Come on.
00:13:16Get him!
00:13:19You lied to me.
00:13:20You're not some homeless guy.
00:13:22Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
00:13:24You were next to a dumpster.
00:13:25That's not much of a leap.
00:13:27What were you doing at this party?
00:13:29Work in the room.
00:13:30Oh.
00:13:31Thought you were one of those
00:13:32asshole rich guys.
00:13:33I'm sorry.
00:13:34I hope I didn't cost you your job.
00:13:36I know how you can make it up to me.
00:13:38Have dinner with me.
00:13:41My place is nearby.
00:13:42I'll whip something up
00:13:43as a thank you for tonight.
00:13:45Wow.
00:13:46A wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:13:49I'm one lucky man.
00:13:51Don't push it.
00:14:00Hey, dinner's ready.
00:14:01Hey, dinner's ready.
00:14:07This is nice.
00:14:08I haven't had a home cooked meal
00:14:11in a long time.
00:14:12It's one of the things I missed
00:14:13the most when I was deployed.
00:14:14How long were you in the military?
00:14:16Seven years.
00:14:17I joined right after high school.
00:14:19My mom had just died
00:14:20and I was feeling rudderless.
00:14:22You weren't
00:14:24close with your father?
00:14:25I was.
00:14:26He was my hero.
00:14:28Until he wasn't.
00:14:30He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:14:32He was the judge
00:14:33and she was the court stenographer.
00:14:35It was quite the scandal
00:14:36at the time.
00:14:38That must have been
00:14:40really hard for you.
00:14:41It was harder on my mom.
00:14:43She didn't want anything
00:14:44to do with him
00:14:45so I cut him off too.
00:14:46Even started using
00:14:47my mom's maiden name.
00:14:48But then three years ago
00:14:49he reached out
00:14:50and told me he was sick
00:14:51so I came to New Orleans
00:14:52for a visit.
00:14:54Here I am.
00:14:55Here you are.
00:14:57Enough about me.
00:14:58What's your story,
00:14:59Gryffinroy?
00:15:02Oh.
00:15:04Shelby Trudeau,
00:15:05come on out now.
00:15:06We know you're in there,
00:15:07Shelby.
00:15:08The light is on.
00:15:09We are not leaving
00:15:10until you open this door.
00:15:12We are not leaving
00:15:13until you open this door.
00:15:15Hey.
00:15:16I'll handle this.
00:15:22Oh.
00:15:23I thought I heard
00:15:24a couple of stray cats
00:15:25out here yelling
00:15:26but it's just you two.
00:15:27And you are?
00:15:28That's the homeless guy
00:15:29that Shelby married.
00:15:30What are you doing here?
00:15:32Why wouldn't Gryffin be here?
00:15:33He's my husband after all.
00:15:36Mama,
00:15:37what are we going to do?
00:15:38We need to challenge the will
00:15:39but how can we do that
00:15:40if they're still together?
00:15:41Shut up, Cece.
00:15:42Oh.
00:15:43I see you're still trying
00:15:44to rob my wife
00:15:45of her inheritance.
00:15:46How pathetic
00:15:47and pointless.
00:15:48Look how in love we are.
00:15:50I'm back.
00:15:53Enjoy the little victory
00:15:54while it lasts.
00:15:55Right.
00:15:56We're going to shred that will
00:15:57and your shame of marriage
00:15:58in no time.
00:16:09Margo and Cece
00:16:10are going to be a problem.
00:16:11There's no way
00:16:12they'll let us be.
00:16:13What if we
00:16:14moved in together?
00:16:16You want to live here?
00:16:18No.
00:16:19Somewhere with
00:16:20better security
00:16:21like my place.
00:16:22Sure.
00:16:24I'm dying to see
00:16:25where you live.
00:16:31So let me get
00:16:32this straight.
00:16:33You told her
00:16:34you're house-sitting?
00:16:35That's right.
00:16:36Said I was
00:16:37going to watch the house
00:16:38while the owner
00:16:39was in Europe for the year.
00:16:40You do know
00:16:41how crazy that sounds.
00:16:42Why can't you
00:16:43just tell her
00:16:44it's your place?
00:16:45I saw you
00:16:46from across the room
00:16:47and I had to talk to you.
00:16:49That's very flattering
00:16:50but you don't know
00:16:51anything about me.
00:16:52I know you
00:16:53take my breath away
00:16:54and I know
00:16:55that I would wonder
00:16:56for the rest of my life
00:16:57if I didn't take
00:16:58this chance
00:16:59even if it was
00:17:00only for one night.
00:17:01Maybe it's better
00:17:02this way.
00:17:04No names,
00:17:05no past.
00:17:07We can just
00:17:08be ourselves.
00:17:09I'd like that
00:17:10very much.
00:17:11I'd like that
00:17:12very much.
00:17:13The girl
00:17:14from Mardi Gras
00:17:15didn't know
00:17:16I was Roy.
00:17:17She liked me
00:17:18for me
00:17:19and I want that
00:17:20again,
00:17:21Pierce,
00:17:22even for
00:17:23a little while.
00:17:31Stash all
00:17:32this stuff
00:17:33in the garage,
00:17:34please.
00:17:35Griffin,
00:17:36you're a public figure.
00:17:37A lot of people
00:17:38know who you are.
00:17:39How long
00:17:40do you think
00:17:41you're gonna be
00:17:42here?
00:17:43How long
00:17:44do you think
00:17:45you can keep
00:17:46this charade up?
00:17:47I don't know,
00:17:48but I have a
00:17:49chance to be
00:17:50with someone
00:17:51without all the
00:17:52crap that goes
00:17:53along with
00:17:54being a Roy.
00:17:55Well,
00:17:56just remember,

00:18:27really trust you.

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