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