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