00:00:00Hey mister, will you marry me?
00:00:05Shelby Trudeau must be married by 5 o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:09I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau, I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:12Who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:00:14The last guy you even slept with was a one night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:00:18Alright, let's get married.
00:00:19I can't keep living in the past, maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:00:24Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:00:26You're a public figure.
00:00:27How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:00:29The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a boy, she liked me for me, and I won't do
00:00:33that again.
00:00:34You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:00:37Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:00:40I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:00:43How pathetic and pointless.
00:00:45Look how in love we are.
00:00:46Sometimes I forget how to let go, but with you every day is fun.
00:00:51Actually, well he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the city.
00:00:55You are Roy's secret bride, a woman he is so ashamed of he would hide the marriage
00:01:00for the rest of the world.
00:01:01We need to get a divorce.
00:01:02I've spent my whole life looking for you.
00:01:05Sometimes love isn't enough.
00:01:09Could it be?
00:01:11It's her.
00:01:12It's always been her.
00:01:13How could I be so blind?
00:01:30I'm bored.
00:01:35According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married
00:01:42by five o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:46That un-ladylike girl is not my daughter.
00:01:49Bad enough I'm her stepmother.
00:01:51My, hello.
00:01:52We want Shelby to know show.
00:01:54That's the way we get everything.
00:02:00I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
00:02:09I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:02:12Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.
00:02:15Dressed in your old uniform.
00:02:17Pathetic.
00:02:18Still trying to play hero.
00:02:20I'm in the Army Reserve now, CC.
00:02:22I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:02:24The will, please.
00:02:27Ooh, the Army Reserve.
00:02:30Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier.
00:02:33No one would have missed you.
00:02:34Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:02:38Look, you don't have to respect me.
00:02:40But don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on the battlefield.
00:02:44Look around, CC.
00:02:46Your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:02:49Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
00:02:54You have freedom and peace because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:03:03Of course.
00:03:04The will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:03:06And I want to thank you for your service.
00:03:13Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours
00:03:16only if signed by both you and your spouse.
00:03:20Woo!
00:03:21That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:24Tick tock.
00:03:37Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:03:39Give up your inheritance and I'll give you one percent.
00:03:42Better than nothing.
00:03:45You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:03:47You will not take what he left me.
00:03:50And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.
00:03:57Really, Shelby?
00:03:58Who's gonna marry you anyhow?
00:04:00The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:04:05Don't.
00:04:06Keep the mystery.
00:04:10You've already lost, Shelby.
00:04:12Take the one percent I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:04:15Right.
00:04:16You're not even going to find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:04:22I'm sorry.
00:04:23I'm sorry.
00:04:24I'm sorry.
00:04:25I'm sorry.
00:04:26I'm sorry.
00:04:27I'm sorry.
00:04:28I'm sorry.
00:04:29I'm sorry.
00:04:30I'm sorry.
00:04:31I'm sorry.
00:04:32I'm sorry.
00:04:33I'm sorry.
00:04:35Watch me.
00:04:40Watch me.
00:04:55Don't worry.
00:05:02He looks single.
00:05:04Oh, my God.
00:05:05This is totally FUBAR.
00:05:08Suck it up, soldier.
00:05:09You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:05:15Hey, mister?
00:05:17Will you marry me?
00:05:28I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain, but if you help me, I promise
00:05:33a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
00:05:35Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:38So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:05:40Do I look like a homeless person to her?
00:05:42Priceless.
00:05:45Shelby Trudeau!
00:05:46You insane!
00:05:47You can't marry this...
00:05:49Help-o.
00:05:52Shelby Trudeau.
00:05:53The late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:05:56That's right.
00:05:57The judge said she was a soldier.
00:05:59He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:06:01Here's a few bucks.
00:06:03Take it and get lost.
00:06:05Don't meddle in our business.
00:06:07Don't speak to him like that.
00:06:09He's a person with feelings.
00:06:11The Cinderella Tale.
00:06:13Complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister.
00:06:16It's clear who deserves my help.
00:06:18And the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:06:20All right.
00:06:22Let's get married.
00:06:31Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:33Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:36And your name is?
00:06:38Griffin Roy.
00:06:40And congratulations.
00:06:40You love birds, don't you?
00:06:42Baby bird.
00:06:46We're going to have a baby.
00:06:48A little baby girl.
00:06:49Ah.
00:06:50Wow.
00:06:51Oh my god.
00:06:52A little baby girl.
00:06:54Your name looks like a bouquet.
00:06:56Oh, really?
00:06:57This is awesome.
00:07:00Sweet!
00:07:03It's your first time here?
00:07:07Harold aren't you a little scared?
00:07:08Rudolph.
00:07:09Birds.
00:07:19This isn't over.
00:07:21Tell her.
00:07:28Sergeant, Mrs. Roy,
00:07:31you have to stay married for at least one full year
00:07:35or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.
00:07:39You hear that, Shelby?
00:07:40You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:47Come on.
00:07:53I guess we'll need to keep in touch,
00:07:55but you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:07:59Once the estate gets settled and I have the money,
00:08:02we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job.
00:08:05When most people get what they wanted,
00:08:07they usually just walk away.
00:08:10I'm not most people.
00:08:12I see that.
00:08:21I gotta return this.
00:08:23Goodbye for now.
00:08:26Goodbye, wife.
00:08:38Where the hell have you been?
00:08:56Got you.
00:08:57Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:09:02This DNA, get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:09:05Look, I'm not a detective.
00:09:07Look, as your campaign manager,
00:09:09I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:09:12You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
00:09:18Marrying Isabel was the best decision of my life.
00:09:23You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago,
00:09:27you got a package deal.
00:09:29Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor,
00:09:32playboy lawyer, the best.
00:09:35This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:09:38In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful,
00:09:41successful women who want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:09:44Look, you can't keep pining over some girl
00:09:47you met three years ago.
00:09:48It's not just some girl.
00:09:49We had a connection.
00:09:52Never had that before.
00:09:59Look, I gotta run.
00:10:01But Griffin, you need to find a woman
00:10:03who can stand by your side.
00:10:04Someone real, not this made-up mystery girl
00:10:08you've built up in your head.
00:10:26Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:10:29It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:10:32All right, guys, that's class.
00:10:35Nice work.
00:10:41So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:10:44I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:10:49Who knows how many other women he's done this to.
00:10:52So I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place
00:10:56and confront him in person.
00:10:59What's holding you back?
00:11:00Andre's no regular guy, Shelby.
00:11:02He's got a bro pack.
00:11:04These men are like wolves with money.
00:11:06Let's go.
00:11:08We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:29What's your name?
00:11:30I'm Stephanie.
00:11:32How about a drink, huh?
00:11:33Oh, that's okay.
00:11:34Come on, one little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:37Okay, one drink.
00:11:38Really, Pierce, this clown is the one
00:11:40who controls the town's power brokers.
00:11:43You wanna beat LaRoche, you gotta mingle
00:11:45with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:11:53I can't believe I slept with that.
00:11:56What was I thinking?
00:11:58I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:12:00I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
00:12:04It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
00:12:11Thanks.
00:12:12That creep.
00:12:15You dickless loser.
00:12:24Drugging girls to get laid.
00:12:26What the fuck?
00:12:27Get out of my house, skank.
00:12:30I'm the skank?
00:12:31That's funny.
00:12:32You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:12:34Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:12:38Unless you're back from horror,
00:12:39I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:12:41You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:12:43I just told you that you have chlamydia and you...
00:12:47Oh my God, you already know you have it.
00:12:51And you don't care.
00:12:53Ladies, Andre Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
00:12:59What is she doing here?
00:13:01Both of you, get out of here.
00:13:07Oh shit.
00:13:08She can't know who I am yet.
00:13:14Do you know who I am?
00:13:16I don't care.
00:13:21Dad.
00:13:23Where did she come from?
00:13:24I don't know.
00:13:25I don't know.
00:13:26I don't know.
00:13:27I don't know.
00:13:28Where did she come from?
00:13:29That's my wife.
00:13:31Isn't she amazing?
00:13:31And she's gonna cost you, Andre,
00:13:33once he finds out you're married to her.
00:13:34I don't care.
00:13:35You think you can crash my party
00:13:37and pull that ninja shit on me?
00:13:40You are one dead bitch.
00:13:52Oh, nice.
00:13:54Did you see that combo?
00:13:55Dude, she can fight.
00:13:56Look at her form, man.
00:13:58Fuck!
00:14:02Dude, she can really fight, man.
00:14:04You are hopeless.
00:14:06Hey, swap me jackets.
00:14:08I'll give you my Rolex.
00:14:28Fuck you, Roy!
00:14:29I'll do everything I can to end you!
00:14:32We should get out of here.
00:14:33Yeah, yeah.
00:14:34Come on.
00:14:38Get him!
00:14:41You lied to me.
00:14:42You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:44Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
00:14:46You were next to a dumpster.
00:14:47That's not much of a leap.
00:14:49What were you doing at this party?
00:14:51Working the room.
00:14:52Oh, thought you were one of those
00:14:53homeless people who just want to have fun.
00:14:56I'm sorry, I 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, a wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:15:11I'm one lucky man.
00:15:13Don't push it.
00:15:18I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be a jerk in the room.
00:15:21Oh, I thought you were one of those
00:15:23asshole-rich guys.
00:15:24Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:30This is nice.
00:15:31I haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time.
00:15:34It's one of the things I missed the most
00:15:36when I was deployed.
00:15:37How long were you in the military?
00:15:38Seven years.
00:15:39I joined right after high school.
00:15:41My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.
00:15:44You weren't close with your father?
00:15:47I was.
00:15:48He was my hero.
00:15:50He was my hero.
00:15:50He was my hero.
00:15:51He was my hero.
00:15:52He was my hero.
00:15:53He was my hero.
00:15:56Until he wasn't.
00:15:58He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:16:00He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
00:16:04It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:16:06That must have been really hard for you.
00:16:09It was harder on my mom.
00:16:11She didn't want anything to do with him,
00:16:12so I cut him off too.
00:16:14Even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:16:16But then three years ago he reached out,
00:16:18told me he was sick,
00:16:19so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:16:22Here I am.
00:16:23Here you are.
00:16:25Enough about me.
00:16:26What's your story, Gryffinroy?
00:16:30Oh.
00:16:31Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:16:34We know you're in there, Shelby.
00:16:35The light is on.
00:16:36We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:39We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:42Hey.
00:16:44I'll handle this.
00:16:49Oh.
00:16:50I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here
00:16:53yowling, but it's just you two.
00:16:54And you are?
00:16:56That's a homeless guy that Shelby married.
00:16:58What are you doing here?
00:16:59Why wouldn't Gryffin be here?
00:17:01He's my husband, after all.
00:17:04Mama, what are we gonna do?
00:17:05We need to challenge the will,
00:17:06but how can we do that if they're still together?
00:17:08Shut up, Cece.
00:17:09Oh, I see you're still trying to rob my wife
00:17:12of her inheritance.
00:17:13How pathetic and pointless.
00:17:16Look how in love we are.
00:17:18I'll be back.
00:17:20Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:17:23Right, we're gonna shred that will
00:17:25and your shame of marriage in no time.
00:17:27Mm-hmm.
00:17:38Margot and Cece are gonna be a problem.
00:17:40There's no way they'll let us be.
00:17:42What if we moved in together?
00:17:45You wanna live here?
00:17:47No, somewhere with better security.
00:17:51Like my place.
00:17:53Sure.
00:17:55I'm dying to see where you live.
00:18:02So let me get this straight.
00:18:03You told her you're house-sitting?
00:18:05That's right.
00:18:06Said I was gonna watch the house
00:18:08while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:18:10You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:13Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:18I saw you from across the room
00:18:19and I had to talk to you.
00:18:21That's very flattering,
00:18:22but you don't know anything about me.
00:18:25I know you take my breath away.
00:18:26And I know that I would wonder,
00:18:28for the rest of my life,
00:18:29if I didn't take this chance,
00:18:31even if it was only for one night.
00:18:33Maybe it's better this way.
00:18:36No names, no past.
00:18:39We can just be ourselves.
00:18:41I'd like that very much.
00:18:44The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
00:18:48She liked me for me.
00:18:50And I want that again, Pierce.
00:18:52Even for a little while.
00:19:01Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.
00:19:05Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:19:07A lot of people know who you are.
00:19:10How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:19:12I don't know.
00:19:13But I have a chance to be with someone
00:19:15without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
00:19:18Well, just remember,
00:19:19we're about to launch a multi-platform campaign.
00:19:22In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboards,
00:19:26your face is about to be everywhere.
00:19:29Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.
00:19:46This place is insane.
00:19:47The owner must really trust you.
00:19:50Yep, we're pretty tight.
00:19:53Here, let me show you to your room.
00:20:01I can't keep living in the past.
00:20:05Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:20:10I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:20:11I'm sorry.
00:20:12I'm sorry.
00:20:13I'm sorry.
00:20:15I'm sorry.
00:20:20Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:20:28I take it things are going well
00:20:29with Zina, Warrior Princess?
00:20:30Oh, she's so exciting and competitive.
00:20:33Keeps me on my toes.
00:20:35So damn beautiful.
00:20:36Face sweaty, no make up, so damn real.
00:20:39Well, when do I get to meet her?
00:20:40Her military background and work with
00:20:42actress women will be a real asset for both female and male voters. Dial it back
00:20:46Pierce. We're in the early stages. All right well don't take too long. You
00:20:51married her for the campaign and it's not like she can dump you once she finds
00:20:55out. She needs you for her inheritance.
00:21:05Good
00:21:12Hey. I'm taking care of you tonight. Oh I like the sound of that. Get your mind out of the gutter woman. I'm talking food here.
00:21:21All right in that case surprise me. Trust me, I'm full of surprises. I bet you are.
00:21:30Gotcha sis. So this is where you've been hiding now.
00:21:53Did you want some of wine?
00:22:00I turned off your alarm. You obviously needed to sleep. We can run tonight. PS you
00:22:27snore but it's super cute. I do not snore a Gryffinroy.
00:22:47What are you doing in a place like this? I live here. When did you move in? Last
00:22:54week. We're house-sitting. Yeah I have heard that one before. Listen this is an
00:22:58exclusive neighborhood. Thieves are always trying to break in. Who are you
00:23:02calling a thief? Please step out now. What the hell are you doing? Just routine
00:23:10inspection. Let's see what else you're hiding here. Get your filthy hands off my
00:23:24wife. Oh cool I thought I was saving you but it looks like you got it. Damn lady
00:23:42you make it look easy. Are you hurt? Just my pride.
00:23:49Yeah looks like you get it flat. Let's get out of here we can take my car. This is
00:23:55yours? Borrowed it from a friend. Right. I know all the guards who work here and
00:24:05you sure as hell aren't them. Who the hell are you man? Some kind of big shot
00:24:10or something? Oh I'm your worst nightmare.
00:24:14All right you're under arrest. What the hell is going on?
00:24:27Well that didn't go as planned. Mama this is all your fault. You pushed me to hire
00:24:34those thugs to humiliate Shelby and now my money's wasted and she got off scot-free.
00:24:38Eyes on the prize Cece. Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate this would be
00:24:43pocket change. Yeah and who would have thought that bum would have got the
00:24:47police involved in all this mess. I don't believe he's a bum. I mean how can a
00:24:51homeless man be so clever? No matter whether he's a tramp or not he married
00:24:56Shelby for her money. Offer him a better deal and he'll leave her. We annul the
00:25:02marriage and claim the entire estate. Oh isn't Victoria Wilcox the
00:25:08port-a-potty billionaire looking for a new gigolo? That old cougar? Oh Cece honey
00:25:13when they're that age they're not cougars they're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:23Well then we just got to make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25:33You really should have iced these right away. I realize that now. I've only ever
00:25:38sparred with gloves on never thrown a bare-knuckle punch before. What did I
00:25:47just hand in my man card? No you knocked a guy out with one punch your man card
00:25:51is fully intact. You just sounded like a prep school rich boy for a second. Thank
00:26:00you. Not just for today but for everything. It's been really lonely since
00:26:06my dad died and it's nice having someone on my side. There's no need to thank me I
00:26:12am your husband. Close your eyes.
00:26:26Okay fair is fair I owe you one.
00:26:42I'm sorry I know we're just pretending. Right.
00:26:57Pretending. I'm gonna I'm gonna go for a run. Okay I'll come with.
00:27:13What if it's just me? Wouldn't that be ironic? The first woman I'm into for so
00:27:17long is not into me. Fuck.
00:27:34Griffin kissed me and it felt just like that night three years ago. What's wrong
00:27:39with me? How can I feel the exact same way for two different men?
00:27:54I don't know he looks like a wet street dog. I'll shower and a haircut he'll be
00:28:00marginally presentable. Hey you
00:28:08we got a proposition for you. How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?
00:28:12Well that'd be a dream ma'am. Get in.
00:28:18Are you sure he's not homeless? Eats like a dirty pig. So you want me to
00:28:33divorce Shelby and marry Victoria Wilcox the shithouse billionaire? You will
00:28:45refer to them as port-a-potties young man. We know you're after Shelby's
00:28:50inheritance but she's never gonna see it. Well, he'll do.
00:29:00Oh he'll do just nicely. Wait a minute have we met before because you look real
00:29:10familiar. Oh no. Nope I don't think I run in your
00:29:14kinds of circles. I'm Miss Wilcox. The first document are
00:29:18official divorce papers. The first document are official divorce papers
00:29:26and you will also be paid 20 grand a month to provide intimate services of a
00:29:32sexual nature. Oh you don't need to worry boy because I have the libido of a
00:29:3926 year old. I don't understand. This says you're under arrest for pandering.
00:30:01Detective McSwain this woman has tried to recruit me as a sex worker. That's a
00:30:08classy felony. He's lying. And you will also be paid 20 grand a month to provide
00:30:16intimate services of a sexual nature. Detective, detective. There must be some
00:30:26misunderstanding. There's no nonsense going on here. No you can't arrest me on
00:30:31the word of that bum. He set me up. Detective McSwain it's getting late.
00:30:36I'd like to go I miss you my wife. Wait you have made a big mistake rejecting me.
00:30:49I'm a woman of wealth and power that you cannot fathom. I will make you pay very
00:30:55dearly for this. I don't think anyone mentioned my last name. It's Roy.
00:31:06Well I knew you looked familiar you see I'm just an old woman you could forgive me.
00:31:12Get out of my face.
00:31:21All right we got her in the car. Now how far do you want this to go? Put the fear of
00:31:26God in there. Mug shot, fingerprints, thorax. Then in the morning drop the charges
00:31:32before the press gets wind. Piercer to have your hide. You got it Griff.
00:31:48Where have you been? I was worried you were gone so long. Yeah? Yeah.
00:31:56Are you hungry? I can heat up some leftovers. Yeah I'd like that.
00:32:03Did that just happen? Maybe I have a shot with her after all.
00:32:09Oh baby my little girl. Oh I will never forget the humiliation that man has caused us.
00:32:26Don't you worry mama. I have a plan. I had all night to think about it in that cold
00:32:31the hard cell. If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby fine. We'll just force Shelby to divorce
00:32:39him. And I know just where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:45Amazing.
00:33:02I think we shaved 30 seconds off that time. I thought I was competitive. You
00:33:07can't even compete with yourself.
00:33:18You're not growing. You're dying. I'm gonna go shower. Me too.
00:33:30Get a grip Shelby. So he's hot. You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
00:33:36What makes him any different? He just is.
00:33:44Hey Zara. Shelby you have to get here right away. Buford's kicking us out the gym.
00:33:54I'm sorry my hands are tied. He says we have to leave. Okay I got this. Mr. Buford what are you doing?
00:34:03This is my place of business. You're done here. I sold the building. The new owners want you out.
00:34:08That's illegal. I have a lease. They've got a break clause for new management and they decided to activate it.
00:34:15Who the hell is they?
00:34:21That would be us.
00:34:25If we can take it from here. Sure thing. Pleasure doing business with you ladies.
00:34:30I know you used all your army money for this gym but you can get it back. All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.
00:34:38Get a divorce. Give up your inheritance and then you can keep your dinky smelly gym.
00:34:46I bet you want to hit me so bad. Not so tough now are you Shelby? Screw you. I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:35:01Sorry the building is now closed for renovations and everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:09Of course you could sue but that would take months. Well what would happen to your gym now Shelby?
00:35:18That's blackmail. We like to call it capitalism. You don't sign we close the gym and then you lose everything.
00:35:26Think about what you're doing. This gym is a lifeline for so many women. I won't let you take it from them.
00:35:33You can beg but I won't budge. Be a smart girl and sign the papers by tomorrow or you can kiss your Valkyrie Fight Club goodbye.
00:35:45And watch us turn it into Valkyrie Strip Club. Isn't that a good idea? There's poles and everything. Plenty of girls.
00:35:56They're cute. They are cute. Cute enough.
00:36:09I'm not here because I give a damn if you win. I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy doesn't.
00:36:14Well the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:36:18The fuck you say? What exactly did Roy do to earn your loathing?
00:36:24He partnered up against me with a She-Warrior. I want to see them both destroyed.
00:36:31Well with your connections and my political might I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:42LaRose got Andre. What are we going to do about this?
00:36:46Nothing.
00:36:47We do not want these two pairing up, alright? This is political suicide. Just talk to Shelby. Maybe if you both apologize...
00:36:54Um, hell no. Let them do their best.
00:36:57Mark my words. This is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
00:37:01Mark my words. This is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
00:37:10Hello Shelby.
00:37:12Griffin, we need to talk.
00:37:21Shelby, what's going on? You sounded tense on the phone.
00:37:27I have so many missed moments. Things I should have said or done. Chances that were lost that might have been pivotal to my life.
00:37:35I don't want you to be another moment that I miss.
00:37:50You first.
00:37:56You first.
00:38:26You first.
00:38:57That was...
00:39:00Fucking amazing.
00:39:13Griffin? Where are you going? Griffin? Griffin?
00:39:20Explain yourself.
00:39:22Toothbrush.
00:39:26BJs, this is Jacques.
00:39:29Why?
00:39:31You're my wife. I sleep with you now.
00:39:34We probably should have talked this through.
00:39:36Yeah. You said you had missed moments. I've had them too. You will not be one of them.
00:39:45I know we said we were pretending, but I want to give us a chance. A real one.
00:39:52Oh?
00:39:56Yeah.
00:40:27I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:40:33Kiss the bonnie lass, why don't ya?
00:40:56CC, meet me at the gym in one hour. We can go over the divorce papers.
00:41:13Goodbye, my husband.
00:41:16I knew something must have happened.
00:41:31Hello?
00:41:32Pierce, I need you to use all your connections to find out what CC and Margot Trudeau did to Shelby yesterday.
00:41:40Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.
00:41:44It's five in the morning.
00:41:46You have an hour.
00:41:53How did CC get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?
00:41:57She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral.
00:42:00Stupid. Good for us, bad for them. And the property title?
00:42:05Still in escrow. The title hasn't been transferred yet.
00:42:08Make sure it is. In your name.
00:42:11You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive.
00:42:15Oh, goody, goody.
00:42:21Talk to me, McSwain.
00:42:23I showed the fake guards in lockup CC Trudeau's mugshot.
00:42:26You're right. She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife. How'd you know?
00:42:30Had her M.O. written all over it.
00:42:32I take it the kid gloves are off this time?
00:42:34Oh yeah. CC Trudeau thinks she's untouchable.
00:42:37Let's show her just how wrong she is.
00:42:47I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
00:42:50I definitely have.
00:42:53Showtime.
00:42:55I'm your campaign manager, not some hired muscle.
00:42:58Here's what I think about your agreement.
00:43:03Did you see that?
00:43:05Did you see that? She chose me, man. She chose me.
00:43:08Well, hell. Looks like she did.
00:43:11You fucking bitch!
00:43:14That's her cue.
00:43:19Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby. You're gonna lose everything.
00:43:23You know, at least I still have my self-respect, which is more than I can say for you.
00:43:27Don't be hasty, CC. She's basically a man. You'll get hurt.
00:43:31I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine, but I will never agree to your demands.
00:43:38Reclaim what's yours? You're never gonna step foot in your precious gym ever again.
00:43:45That will be difficult to enforce since I now own the building.
00:43:50Who the hell are you?
00:43:52Pierce Durand. The new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.
00:43:56What?
00:43:59Your deal fell out of escrow.
00:44:02I swooped in and bought it.
00:44:04That's impossible. I own it.
00:44:07Let me spell this out in a way that even an imbecile will understand.
00:44:11I outbid you. The building is mine.
00:44:15Now scram.
00:44:16I never...
00:44:18Ms. Trudeau, I want to ensure you that your lease is secure.
00:44:22The only change will be a 40% rent reduction.
00:44:26That's unbelievable. Are you sure you can afford that?
00:44:30Oh, yeah.
00:44:32Thank you, Mr. Durand.
00:44:35The gym means a lot to the women in this community.
00:44:43CC Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion.
00:44:46The fake guards identified you as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau.
00:44:51Okay, well, but that was last week. You can't arrest me now.
00:44:54We most certainly can, and this time the charges won't be dropped.
00:44:58No, no, no. You can't take my girl.
00:45:02I'm coming after you. I'm never going to forget this.
00:45:04When I get out, you're mine.
00:45:14Zara, call everyone.
00:45:18Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
00:45:25Well, aren't you going to go over there?
00:45:29You're the one that orchestrated this whole thing.
00:45:32No, it's her victory.
00:45:35I merely did what a husband shouldn't to ensure her happiness.
00:45:39That's my reward.
00:45:41That is some wild shit you just spouted.
00:45:43This girl is seriously causing you to lose it, Griff.
00:45:46You worry too much.
00:45:47And you don't worry enough.
00:45:49We have a campaign to win,
00:45:51and you're ten points behind LaRoche in all the latest polls.
00:45:54What are you driving at?
00:45:55Tell Shelby who you are.
00:45:57The voters need to know who your wife is,
00:45:59and we need to be able to shape the narrative.
00:46:02You wait too long, and Neville LaRoche is going to find out and beat us to it.
00:46:06Okay, I'll tell her.
00:46:09I just, I need a few more days of just me with her.
00:46:15Then I'll confess everything.
00:46:22That's Shelby Trudeau, owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
00:46:26Pretty girl.
00:46:28So who's she screwing?
00:46:30Duran or Roy?
00:46:31I don't know, sir.
00:46:32That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
00:46:36Those stuck-up twats kept going on and on
00:46:40about their precious lineages dating back to the Mayflower.
00:46:47Not everyone's white trash like you, Isabel.
00:46:52It is a wonder how you overcame your low-class origins and gained my interest.
00:46:59That wasn't your interest, darling.
00:47:01That was your cock.
00:47:03Touche, my dear.
00:47:05Why are you looking at a picture of her?
00:47:07Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:47:09Well, she went by Michelle in high school.
00:47:12But yeah, that's her.
00:47:14She was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school.
00:47:19From bullies like you, per se.
00:47:23Oh, that is unfortunate.
00:47:26You'll have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect.
00:47:31Neville, no.
00:47:32I mean your new bestie, Isabel.
00:47:34Baby, no.
00:47:38It's cooling off.
00:47:40We should go inside.
00:47:42Just a few more minutes.
00:47:44I can't remember the last time I let myself just... be.
00:47:50Yeah.
00:47:51I think it was when my parents were still together.
00:47:54Before the divorce, the cheating, Mom getting sick.
00:47:59I don't know.
00:48:02Before the divorce, the cheating, Mom getting sick.
00:48:07I was carefree then.
00:48:09I joined the army after, but that was just another rollercoaster.
00:48:14It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory cutting off weapons supply routes.
00:48:20I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:48:24It's not the place, it's the person.
00:48:28I feel like I've known you forever.
00:48:35Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:48:44I guess I can wait one more day.
00:48:48Our most sought after place at Valkyrie is our women's self-defense kickboxing.
00:48:56Sign me up.
00:48:58Oh shit, Isabel.
00:49:00The girl who made my life and everyone else's a living hell in high school.
00:49:04What sneaky B.S. is she up to?
00:49:07Oh my gosh, Michelle?
00:49:09Is that you?
00:49:10I go by Shelby now.
00:49:12You look amazing.
00:49:14I go by Shelby now.
00:49:16You look amazing.
00:49:18Michelle, Shelby, and I go way back.
00:49:22Gosh, what a small world.
00:49:25Well, for membership we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
00:49:29How about I pay up front for three years?
00:49:32And I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join.
00:49:35You know, if you're really serious about this, you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:49:41I was a mean girl in high school, and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:49:46What you've built here is so empowering.
00:49:50If 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.
00:50:01Shelby, can we start over?
00:50:03Would you let me try to make it right?
00:50:07Okay.
00:50:18This is so awesome.
00:50:20How about lunch?
00:50:21I'm free to grab a bite right now.
00:50:23We can catch up.
00:50:26Okay.
00:50:27Let me grab my bag.
00:50:29Get it, baby!
00:50:37Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign.
00:50:41He's pro-union and has a five-point plan to improve workplace safety regulations.
00:50:47Shit!
00:50:49No, no, not you.
00:50:51I gotta call you back.
00:51:01LaRoche knows about Shelby.
00:51:03She sicked Isabel on her. Look, here's her Instagram.
00:51:08What the fuck?
00:51:10LaRoche's oppo research must have tagged her.
00:51:12Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
00:51:14Screw the narrative, it's a trap.
00:51:16They've got my wife.
00:51:24I thought this was supposed to be a quick bite.
00:51:26I have a business to run, you know.
00:51:28You haven't changed a bit since high school.
00:51:30So dedicated. I've always admired that about you.
00:51:35Alright, cut the crap, Izzy.
00:51:37Others might buy your ladylike act, but I know you're still the same vicious bully inside.
00:51:43You didn't come to my gym by accident. What's your angle?
00:51:45Neville asked me to befriend you.
00:51:47I don't want to be here.
00:51:49So I can just add that to the list of reasons why I fucking loathe you.
00:51:55What's my angle, Shelby?
00:51:58The complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy.
00:52:01And if I can take you down with him, all the better.
00:52:10Shelby, listen to me. The press are on their way.
00:52:12I don't have time to explain, but I fucked up.
00:52:14You have to get out of that restaurant. Now.
00:52:21Too late to run. My hubby's here.
00:52:23Leaving so soon, Ms. Trudeau.
00:52:25Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
00:52:31Come on, Shelby. Pick up. Let me know you got out of there.
00:52:36Who the hell are you?
00:52:38Congressman. Neville LaRoche.
00:52:40I understand why your husband probably never mentioned me.
00:52:43Seems as how there's so much he hasn't told you.
00:52:46Please, sit down.
00:52:48Isabel was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived.
00:52:51No matter.
00:52:53We'll do this the less genteel way, if we must.
00:52:59Both of these men are retired Navy SEALs.
00:53:02I've heard a lot about your fighting skills.
00:53:05So, I came prepared.
00:53:12What's this about?
00:53:15What's this about?
00:53:17I spoke with your stepmother, Margo.
00:53:20She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:23It seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bone.
00:53:26On the streets.
00:53:28When actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:53:32I can't believe you fell for that.
00:53:35Not so smart now, are you, Shelby?
00:53:38You're lying.
00:53:40You are Roy's secret bride.
00:53:43A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:53:48When the press arrives,
00:53:50you will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana,
00:53:54so that they may know what kind of man Roy really is.
00:54:07Hey.
00:54:08I got it.
00:54:11Let me go.
00:54:13Shelby, please.
00:54:15Why did you keep your marriage a secret?
00:54:17The voters have a right to know.
00:54:18What else are you hiding?
00:54:20You son of a bitch.
00:54:22Come now, Roy.
00:54:24Don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes.
00:54:37Shelby.
00:54:38Shelby, please.
00:54:39Hear me out.
00:54:40Don't shell me.
00:54:43God, all of your charm.
00:54:44It's just a lie.
00:54:46I never meant to let it get this far.
00:54:49I planned on coming clean.
00:54:50More lies, Gryffin Roy?
00:54:52I was going to tell you today.
00:54:54Convenient.
00:54:55Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start?
00:54:58Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
00:55:02That was always a possibility.
00:55:05Get away from my house.
00:55:07This is technically my home.
00:55:10God, how sitting my ass.
00:55:13You are the worst and I never want to see you again.
00:55:18Shelby.
00:55:25Congressional candidate Gryffin Roy has a secret bride.
00:55:28Our reporter is...
00:55:43You got to get a sip of that?
00:56:14Ah.
00:56:26This is private property.
00:56:28Which I own.
00:56:29Liar.
00:56:30Pierce Durand owns this building.
00:56:32He works for me.
00:56:34Then I'll move.
00:56:35I don't want to owe you anything.
00:56:44Oh, Shelby, Shelby, come out, would you please?
00:56:54I wake up in the morning and reach for you, but you're not there.
00:57:01I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
00:57:12Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:17You're ridiculous.
00:57:18You do know that, don't you?
00:57:21Oh, Shelby, Shelby, don't leave me hanging.
00:57:25What are you doing?
00:57:26You're supposed to turn it on.
00:57:29Yeah.
00:57:30I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:33It's broken.
00:57:34Guy totally scammed me.
00:57:36You are beyond ridiculous.
00:57:38Please, Shelby.
00:57:40I didn't say what I wanted to before.
00:57:44Just give me a chance to explain.
00:57:49Fine.
00:57:50Come in, you fool.
00:57:53I'll come in to my own house.
00:57:59You have two minutes.
00:58:07Growing up as a Roy, no one ever liked me for me.
00:58:14It's always been about the money, the excess.
00:58:20Then at a moment three years ago where someone did like me for me,
00:58:30they had no idea who I was.
00:58:32And I just remember how freeing it felt.
00:58:39So when I met you and I felt that spark I've been searching for,
00:58:45I didn't think.
00:58:47I just fucking left.
00:58:50Why wait so long to tell me?
00:58:52I've never gone into enemy territory to cut off weapons supply routes.
00:58:59I boxed in prep school.
00:59:02Yeah, you got that right.
00:59:04But otherwise I've always been more of a lover rather than a fighter.
00:59:11And I've done well as a lawyer.
00:59:13But I did not earn those billions.
00:59:17I inherited them from generations of dickheads.
00:59:24When you meet a girl, it's a total package.
00:59:27You just want to be her total package too.
00:59:31You really are ridiculous.
00:59:33You know, I have laughed more with you in the past two weeks than I have in my entire life.
00:59:39I'm way too serious, Griffin.
00:59:41Sometimes I forget how to let go.
00:59:44But with you, every day is fun.
00:59:47So does that mean you forgive me?
00:59:50I'm thinking about it.
00:59:55Yeah.
00:59:56You think too much.
00:59:57Time for make-up sex.
01:00:03So, that's make-up sex.
01:00:07Yeah.
01:00:11Griffin, it hurts so much thinking we were over.
01:00:16I never want to feel like that again.
01:00:19I promise not to let anything get in between us.
01:00:27This changes everything.
01:00:30Elf, thanks for the heads up.
01:00:32I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried for as long as possible.
01:00:43Run.
01:00:45I want to stay right here.
01:00:49Where the hell are you, Griff?
01:00:52This is DEFCON 1.
01:00:54Hey, man.
01:00:55Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:00:58Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:04Come on.
01:01:09How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:11We've known each other since college.
01:01:14How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:16We've known each other since college.
01:01:18What are you talking about?
01:01:19Didn't you get any of my texts or calls?
01:01:22I must have forgot to charge it.
01:01:24I had quite a night last night.
01:01:26Shelby and I made up.
01:01:28She's forgiven me.
01:01:30Well, she won't forgive you for this.
01:01:34You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy.
01:01:36You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy.
01:01:41Michelle Lane.
01:01:43I don't even know who that is.
01:01:45Well, you knew her well enough to marry her three years ago.
01:01:50This can't be right.
01:01:52I got it from a parish clerk.
01:01:54She's agreed to keep it hush-hush for now.
01:01:56The ceremony was conducted at a church.
01:01:58The priest signed and completed the marriage certificate.
01:02:02Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:02:06I now pronounce ye man and wife.
01:02:10The masked girl from Mardi Gras.
01:02:12I finally know her name.
01:02:14Michelle.
01:02:16Shit.
01:02:18That finally makes sense.
01:02:20Of course you wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist.
01:02:22Shelby.
01:02:24Fuck.
01:02:26What am I gonna tell her?
01:02:28Look, it could still be one big mistake.
01:02:30I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:37I have something for you.
01:02:47I hacked into the parish database.
01:02:49Griffin Roy is legally married to both Michelle Lane and Shelby Trudeau.
01:02:53That's it.
01:02:55He's finished.
01:02:57Griffin Roy will be in jail for bigamy for cocktail hour.
01:03:01Michelle Lane is Shelby Trudeau.
01:03:05They're legally married to each other on two separate occasions.
01:03:08They just don't know it yet.
01:03:10That's insane.
01:03:12Check the date.
01:03:14They got married the first time during Mardi Gras.
01:03:16Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated.
01:03:19We could use that angle.
01:03:21Yeah, the romance is already trending.
01:03:23He made an idiot of himself with that boombox and voters.
01:03:27Oh, they're just eating it up.
01:03:29He's catching up in the polls.
01:03:33Now Roy unknowingly marries twice the girl he's been searching for since Mardi Gras.
01:03:39This will make them seem like some faded love story.
01:03:46This will make them seem like some faded love story.
01:03:52We got nothing on him.
01:03:54Honey, we've got everything we need.
01:03:57What they don't know can definitely hurt them.
01:04:00And right now, to Griffin Roy, Michelle Lane could be anybody.
01:04:07You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear.
01:04:11Who?
01:04:15Well, we have a very limited window to make this work.
01:04:19We will hit hard,
01:04:21but fast.
01:04:26What is she going to say when they tell her I'm married?
01:04:31All right, ladies, good job. That's it for tonight.
01:04:34Remember, this weekend's Mardi Gras.
01:04:36Have fun, but you know what to do if anybody messes with you.
01:04:40Nice work.
01:04:42Hi.
01:04:44Hungry?
01:04:48Yeah, so today's class went super well.
01:04:51Two new students. They really did pick up on a lot of things.
01:04:54You're everything I've ever wanted.
01:04:56Everything I didn't even dare to dream.
01:04:59You're it for me. I can't lose you.
01:05:02Griffin, are you okay?
01:05:05Yeah.
01:05:07Just some stuff for the campaign.
01:05:11I want to help.
01:05:13LaRoche can't win.
01:05:15He and Isabel are evil.
01:05:17You're the kind of man that people need.
01:05:19I can't imagine anyone else but myself.
01:05:21I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
01:05:24We will plan a siege that surrounds them from all sides.
01:05:28That sounds amazing, Shell.
01:05:37Barber?
01:05:41I remember the two of you.
01:05:43You have it, lad. That special spark.
01:05:46I don't see it often in couples, but when I do, it makes an impression.
01:05:51You must be mistaken. This woman and I, we'd met that day.
01:05:55And you were already finishing each other's sentences, dying to tie the knot.
01:05:59There was no stopping you.
01:06:01I was drunk.
01:06:02Drunk with love.
01:06:04The man I married knew what he was doing.
01:06:06I mean, how is this even legal?
01:06:08New Orleans has a 24-hour waiting period.
01:06:10Unless the judge waives it.
01:06:12Son of a bitch.
01:06:13Who was it?
01:06:14He was your best man.
01:06:16You called him Remy.
01:06:18Remy Cal, that bastard.
01:06:22No wonder he always had that stupid smirk on his face whenever I stood before him in court.
01:06:27Fuck.
01:06:29Fuck.
01:06:33I don't care. I don't care.
01:06:35We need to annul the marriage now.
01:06:37I love my wife.
01:06:38You're in a bit of a pickle.
01:06:40Because in my book, you love Joe the wife as well.
01:06:45Sir.
01:06:47Mrs. Rose in your office with Mr. Durand.
01:06:49Shelby.
01:06:55Griffin, this is the woman you've been looking for.
01:06:57This is Michelle Lane.
01:07:01Hi, Griffin.
01:07:02You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:06So you've been an escort for seven years.
01:07:08That's right. Since high school.
01:07:10And that really is your toddler?
01:07:12My baby girl Fleur.
01:07:14She has no daddy. This will be good for her.
01:07:20If I may ask, how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:23That is the least of your worries.
01:07:26All right. Chop, chop.
01:07:29Now, action.
01:07:32Hi, Griffin.
01:07:34You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:37It was Mardi Gras.
01:07:39We were completely wasted, and we ended up in some church with an Irish priest.
01:07:43We had a wild night at the hotel.
01:07:45And we were all alone.
01:07:47And we were all alone.
01:07:49And we were all alone.
01:07:51And we were all alone.
01:07:53And we were all alone.
01:07:55And we were all alone.
01:07:57And we had a wild night at the hotel.
01:07:59And well, Fleur was the happy accident nine months later.
01:08:06It can't be true.
01:08:08I've never met you in my life.
01:08:10I mean, you were wearing masks.
01:08:12Yes, that's right. We were.
01:08:14By the time I found out I was pregnant, two months had passed.
01:08:17I've been trying to find you ever since,
01:08:19but it wasn't until I saw one of your ads for Congress that I recognized your voice.
01:08:23It was a miracle.
01:08:25It's too much. She's losing him.
01:08:28Tone it down. Tone it down.
01:08:33Listen, lady, I don't know who you're trying to con with this act.
01:08:36Griffin, don't.
01:08:38But there is no way in hell that I'm married to you.
01:08:42What's going on, Griffin?
01:08:46Is this woman really your wife?
01:08:51No, she's not. We don't know.
01:08:55Which is it?
01:08:56You are my wife. Only you.
01:09:00I understand this is a lot to take in.
01:09:02Fleur and I will just go.
01:09:04I'll have my lawyer reach out.
01:09:06No. No lawyers.
01:09:08We don't need to involve any authorities.
01:09:10This can all be solved with a simple DNA test.
01:09:14Pierce, this woman is a fraud.
01:09:17Griffin, think about it.
01:09:18She says Fleur is your daughter.
01:09:20One little test, and that'll prove if she's lying or not.
01:09:23We need to know, Griffin.
01:09:25I need to know.
01:09:28Fine. But I don't want these doubts to fester.
01:09:31We can rush the DNA results and get them back in a few hours.
01:09:34Might I suggest a more private setting?
01:09:37Less eyes.
01:09:38Understood.
01:09:40We can wait back at my house for the results to come.
01:09:49We've got him. You're up.
01:09:54Hi.
01:10:06Hi.
01:10:07I love you.
01:10:22Cute kid.
01:10:24Don't. Just don't.
01:10:27Shelby go upstairs.
01:10:29She fed them snacks and then locked herself in the guest room.
01:10:35I can't lose her, Pierce.
01:10:39I won't.
01:10:49Moment of truth, buddy.
01:11:05Fleur, meet your daddy.
01:11:09I will, of course, provide for you both financially.
01:11:15Fleur doesn't need a checkbook. She needs a father.
01:11:35What do you want?
01:11:37The guest bedroom is empty.
01:11:40You and Fleur can stay there.
01:11:44Shelby, just don't do this.
01:11:48Just give me some time. I can fix it.
01:11:52This isn't something you fix.
01:11:54You can't be legally married to two women at the same time and you have a child with one of them.
01:11:59We need to get a divorce.
01:12:04She's right, Griff.
01:12:06Griffin, you have a daughter now.
01:12:08You're a father and you have to put your child first.
01:12:12I can't be Margot.
01:12:14I won't do that to another little girl.
01:12:18I've spent my whole life looking for 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.
01:12:38It's not in her nature to put herself first.
01:12:41Oh, you're a scary woman.
01:12:44I'm not.
01:12:46I'm not.
01:12:48I'm not putting myself first.
01:12:50Oh, you're a scary woman.
01:12:53I know.
01:12:58Hi, I'm Diane. I'm Shelby Trudeau.
01:13:00We've been together.
01:13:02It's true.
01:13:08So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered?
01:13:18Yeah.
01:13:48That's strange. I thought I heard something.
01:14:18No.
01:14:36It's like she was never here.
01:14:49Hey, mister?
01:14:51Will you marry me?
01:14:55She took everything but left this behind.
01:14:58Message received, Shelby.
01:15:10What the hell is this?
01:15:13I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain,
01:15:16but if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
01:15:20This place is insane.
01:15:22The owner must really trust you.
01:15:27Could it be?
01:15:40It's her. It's always been her.
01:15:43It's always been her.
01:15:47Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:50Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:52As soon as you saw the forged DNA test, it was a done deal.
01:15:55Who is she working for?
01:15:56How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby?
01:16:00Give me a name. Come on, just one name.
01:16:02Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close.
01:16:05I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead.
01:16:09Where is Shelby? Where is my wife?
01:16:13Where is Isabelle taking me?
01:16:14I don't know what you're talking about.
01:16:15I will have you put away for the rest of your life
01:16:18and your daughter will grow up in a fucking orphanage.
01:16:21I don't know where she is.
01:16:23If I knew, I'd tell you, I swear.
01:16:39What is wrong with me?
01:16:44Help! Somebody help!
01:16:49Do you need some water?
01:16:51Oh, wait. I see you've already had some.
01:16:54You poisoned me? Why?
01:16:57Why? Why? Where to begin?
01:17:04Lingering high school issues. Offs.
01:17:06I'm helping Neville's campaign. Duh.
01:17:10But the real reason, the one that cuts deep,
01:17:13is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist.
01:17:17By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice,
01:17:21he'll have gone missing, vanished without a trace.
01:17:26He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:17:29Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body,
01:17:33suspicion will follow Griffin for the rest of his life.
01:17:36Any political future he may have had will be as dead as you.
01:17:40Net?
01:17:42Back up. Married? Twice?
01:17:47Who's the... the woman in the little girl?
01:17:51Oh, just some cheap whore I hired to tell your husband
01:17:55that they've been married for the past three years.
01:17:58When really, it's been you all along.
01:18:02You've been searching for each other all this time.
01:18:05But now he'll never find you.
01:18:09All right, boys. She's all yours.
01:18:17I told you I'd get you back.
01:18:25Miss Tudor, why are you here?
01:18:27My daughter, my... my baby Cece.
01:18:30I'm scared she's gonna do something terrible.
01:18:33What do you mean, terrible? What's going on?
01:18:35I sold everything to get her out on bail,
01:18:39and you... what does she do in return?
01:18:41She's... she's gone crazy.
01:18:43Stalking Shelby.
01:18:45She tailed her to some hotel in the French Quarter.
01:18:51What hotel?
01:18:53Excuse me, sir.
01:18:54My sister's staying here, but I've forgotten her room number.
01:18:57It's Shelby Trudeau.
01:18:59Sorry, ma'am. We can't disclose any guest information.
01:19:09Shelby.
01:19:13Come out, come out, wherever you are.
01:19:25I think I'll do it with my bare hands.
01:19:27Makes it more personal.
01:19:30Actually, do me a favor.
01:19:32Leave a lot of marks on that vase of hers.
01:19:36Fuck you.
01:19:37I want people to see that she suffered. A lot.
01:19:40Oh, trust me. She will.
01:19:43Come on. Let's get this party started.
01:20:00Look what you've done.
01:20:05Pansy-ass slap.
01:20:08She's stalling, and you're falling for it.
01:20:11Damn.
01:20:12Can't go to the valet smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:15I'll never give you your car keys.
01:20:17Shelby has clothes over there.
01:20:19Change.
01:20:21I'll take care of me. You go take care of her.
01:20:30I found it, Chris.
01:20:31Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Blaine.
01:20:34It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request.
01:20:37She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago.
01:20:44Starting to make sense now.
01:20:46It was harder on my mom.
01:20:48She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off, too.
01:20:52Even started using my mom's maiden name.
01:20:54She's the one you've been looking for.
01:20:56It's been her all this time.
01:20:58How could I be so blind?
01:21:00Of course it had to be Shelby. It had to be her.
01:21:04My heart knew what my brain couldn't see.
01:21:07I got it.
01:21:08Your girl's in room 801.
01:21:11Thanks, man.
01:21:13Now I can go save the love of my life.
01:21:21Too much to drink.
01:21:23Please.
01:21:29Stop right there.
01:21:35Not so fast.
01:21:38Griffin fucking Roy.
01:21:41Finally joined the party.
01:21:43I'm here for my wife.
01:21:45Not gonna happen, brah.
01:21:47What you've done here is aggravated assault.
01:21:50But if you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping.
01:21:53That is a federal crime.
01:21:55That is a federal crime. Don't bring in the FBI.
01:21:59Someone will have to be around to identify us.
01:22:02That sure as hell won't be you.
01:22:06Did you get all that, Pierce?
01:22:08Police are on their way. Hang in there, buddy.
01:22:12You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:22:26You're trapped.
01:22:32Give me my wife back now!
01:22:51Shelby, are you all right?
01:22:55Yeah.
01:23:26Griff, my God!
01:23:28Do you need medical attention?
01:23:30No, but they do.
01:23:41I guess I renewed my man card.
01:23:43Sure did, honey. Fucked him up real good.
01:23:48Oh, Lord, please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:23:56Shelby!
01:23:57You little bitch!
01:23:59Didn't I say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:24:03What?
01:24:05That's not...
01:24:06Shelby!
01:24:09Put your hands up where I can see them.
01:24:15This is the last one.
01:24:16Hey, hey, hey, hey. I want to make a deal.
01:24:19Why don't you come with me?
01:24:21This is the last one.
01:24:22Hey, hey, hey, hey. I want to make a deal.
01:24:24What do you have to offer up?
01:24:26Congressman Neville LaRoche.
01:24:28I'm all ears.
01:24:36Is it really over?
01:24:38Yeah, it is.
01:24:40Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but...
01:24:45Three years ago, did we...
01:24:48You left this.
01:24:57It's true.
01:25:00I can't believe I finally found you.
01:25:02I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met.
01:25:07Why'd you never come back?
01:25:17I'm sorry.
01:25:27It's called a walk of shame, not a laugh of it.
01:25:30Mind your own business, Cece.
01:25:32Look at you, Shelby.
01:25:34One Mardi Gras hookup, and you think you found happily ever after.
01:25:38That's not how life works.
01:25:40Sure, he may have liked you with a mask on, but he's not going to want you with it off.
01:25:46Look, you both have a great memory now.
01:25:49But you'll look back, and you'll see that you're just the clueless chick who didn't know the score.
01:25:55You'll embarrass yourself.
01:25:57And more importantly, you'll embarrass him.
01:26:03I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:26:06I'm sorry I let her get to me.
01:26:09But to be honest, what we had seemed too good to be true.
01:26:13How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:26:17Exactly.
01:26:21But I did.
01:26:23And I do.
01:26:25Where do we go from here?
01:26:27Married twice.
01:26:28Deeply in love.
01:26:30Risked our lives to save each other.
01:26:32I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:26:37Shelby, will you...
01:26:39Yes, Gryffinroy.
01:26:45I will always love you.
01:26:47In this life or the next.
