00:00:00Marry me?
00:00:01Shelby Trudeau.
00:00:02Must be married by 5 o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:06I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
00:00:07I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:09Who's gonna marry you anyhow?
00:00:10The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:00:14All right.
00:00:15Let's get married.
00:00:16I can't keep living in the past.
00:00:18Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:00:21Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:00:23You're a public figure.
00:00:24How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:00:26The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a boy.
00:00:28She liked me for me, and I want that again.
00:00:30You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:00:34Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:00:37I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:00:40How pathetic and pointless.
00:00:42How in love we are.
00:00:43Sometimes I forget how to let go.
00:00:45But with you, every day is fun.
00:00:48Actually, well, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:00:51You are Roy's secret bride.
00:00:53A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:00:57I need to get a divorce.
00:00:58I've spent my whole life looking for you.
00:01:01Sometimes love isn't enough.
00:01:05Could it be?
00:01:07It's her.
00:01:08It's always been her.
00:01:09How could it be so blind?
00:01:11I'm bored.
00:01:12According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married by five o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:28That unladylike girl is not my daughter.
00:01:29Bad enough, I'm her stepmother.
00:01:30Right, and hello.
00:01:31We want Shelby to no-show.
00:01:32That's the way we get everything.
00:01:33Your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married by five o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:40That unladylike girl is not my daughter.
00:01:41Bad enough, I'm her stepmother.
00:01:42Right, and hello.
00:01:43We want Shelby to no-show.
00:01:44That's the way we get everything.
00:01:47I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
00:01:48I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:01:49Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.
00:01:50I'm dressed in your old uniform.
00:01:51Pathetic.
00:01:52Still trying to play a hero.
00:01:53I'm in the Army Reserve now, C-S.
00:01:54I'm in the Army Reserve now, C-S.
00:02:17I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:02:19The will, please.
00:02:21Oh, 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, but don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on the battlefield.
00:02:39God, look around, Cece, with your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:02:43Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
00:02:47You have freedom and peace because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:02:57Of course.
00:02:58The will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:03:00And I want to thank you for your service.
00:03:07Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours only if signed by both you and your spouse.
00:03:14That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:20Tick tock.
00:03:21Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:03:34Give 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.
00:03:45And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.
00:03:52Really, 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.
00:03:59Don't.
00:04:14Keep the mystery.
00:04:18You've already lost, Shelby.
00:04:20Take the one percent I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:04:24Right.
00:04:25You're not even gonna find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:04:30Watch me.
00:04:35Watch me.
00:04:50Don't worry.
00:04:51He looks single.
00:04:59Oh my god, this is totally food bar.
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?
00:05:21I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain, but if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
00:05:29Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:31So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:05:33Do I look like a homeless person there?
00:05:35Priceless.
00:05:36Shelby Trudeau!
00:05:37Shelby Trudeau!
00:05:38Are you one sign?
00:05:39You can't marry this...
00:05:43...elgo?
00:05:46Shelby Trudeau.
00:05:47The late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:05:50That's right.
00:05:51The judge said she was a soldier.
00:05:53He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:05:55Here's a few bucks.
00:05:57Take it and get lost.
00:05:59Don't meddle in our business.
00:06:01Don't speak to him like that.
00:06:03He's a person with feelings.
00:06:05The Cinderella tale.
00:06:07Complete 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.
00:06:15Alright.
00:06:17Let's get married.
00:06:24Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:35Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:37And your name is?
00:06:40Griffin Roy.
00:06:54And congratulations, you lovebirds.
00:07:14This isn't over.
00:07:15Tell her!
00:07:16Sergeant Trudeau, Mrs. Roy, you 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, we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job.
00:07:59When most people get what they wanted, they usually just walk away.
00:08:03Well, I'm not most people.
00:08:06I see that.
00:08:07I gotta return this.
00:08:17Goodbye for now.
00:08:20Goodbye, wife.
00:08:21Where the hell have you been?
00:08:34Where the hell have you been?
00:08:52Gotcha.
00:08:53Seriously?
00:08:54This is over the top, even for you.
00:08:58This DNA.
00:08:59Get it to Detective Mick Swain right away.
00:09:00Look, as your campaign manager, I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:09:06You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
00:09:12Look.
00:09:13Marrying Isabel was the best decision of my life.
00:09:16You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago, you got a package deal.
00:09:23Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor, playboy lawyer, the best.
00:09:29This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:09:32In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women who want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:09:38Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:09:41It's not just some girl.
00:09:43We had a connection.
00:09:46Never had that before.
00:09:53Look, I gotta run.
00:09:54But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
00:09:58Someone real.
00:10:00Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:10:11Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:10:23It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:10:26All right, guys.
00:10:27That's class.
00:10:28Nice work.
00:10:29So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:10:37I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:10:42Who knows how many other women he's done this to?
00:10:45So I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place and confront me in person.
00:10:52What's holding you back?
00:10:53Andre's a regular guy, Shelby.
00:10:55He's got a bro pack.
00:10:57These men are like wolves with money.
00:11:00Let's go.
00:11:02We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:22What's your name?
00:11:23I'm Stephanie.
00:11:25How about a drink, huh?
00:11:26Oh, that's okay.
00:11:27Come on.
00:11:28One little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:30Okay, one drink.
00:11:31Really, Pierce?
00:11:32This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:11:36You wanna beat LaRoche?
00:11:37You gotta mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:11:46I can't believe I slept with that.
00:11:49What was I thinking?
00:11:51I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:11:52I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
00:11:57It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
00:12:01That...
00:12:04Thing.
00:12:05That creep.
00:12:06You dickless loser.
00:12:17Drugging girls to get laid.
00:12:19What the fuck?
00:12:20Get out of my house, skank.
00:12:22Huh?
00:12:23I'm the skank?
00:12:24That's funny.
00:12:25You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:12:27Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:12:31Unless you're back for more, I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:12:34You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:12:36I just told you that you have chlamydia and you...
00:12:40Oh my God.
00:12:41You already know you have it.
00:12:44And you don't care.
00:12:46Ladies!
00:12:48Andre Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia!
00:12:51What is she doing here?
00:12:54Both of you, get out of here.
00:12:56Oh shit.
00:12:57She can't know who I am yet.
00:12:59Do you know who I am?
00:13:01I don't care.
00:13:03Dad!
00:13:04Where did she come from?
00:13:05That's my wife.
00:13:06Isn't she amazing?
00:13:07And she's gonna cost you Andre once he finds out you're married to her?
00:13:09I don't care.
00:13:10You think you can crash my party?
00:13:11And put that ninja shit on me?
00:13:13You...
00:13:14Are one...
00:13:15One...
00:13:16One...
00:13:17One...

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