00:00:00Hey, mister, will you marry me?
00:00:08Shelby Trudeau must be married by five o'clock today.
00:00:11She loses her inheritance.
00:00:12I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
00:00:14I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:15Who's gonna marry you anyhow?
00:00:17The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:00:21All right, let's get married.
00:00:23I can't keep living in the past.
00:00:25Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:00:27Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:00:29You're a public figure.
00:00:31How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:00:33The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a boy.
00:00:35She liked me for me, and I want that again.
00:00:37You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:00:40Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:00:43I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:00:46How pathetic and pointless.
00:00:48How in love we are.
00:00:50Sometimes I forget how to let go, but with you every day is fun.
00:00:54Actually, well, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in this town.
00:00:58You are Roy's secret bride.
00:01:00A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:01:03We need to get a divorce.
00:01:05I mean, I've spent my whole life looking for you.
00:01:08Sometimes love isn't enough.
00:01:12Could it be?
00:01:14It's her.
00:01:15It's always been her.
00:01:16How could it be so blind?
00:01:17How could it be so blind?
00:01:35I'm bored.
00:01:36According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married by five o'clock today.
00:01:47Or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:49That unladylike girl is not my daughter.
00:01:52Bad enough I'm her stepmother.
00:01:54Hi, and hello.
00:01:55We want Shelby to no-show.
00:01:57That's why we get everything.
00:02:11I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
00:02:13I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:02:15Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.
00:02:18I'm dressed in your old uniform.
00:02:20Pathetic.
00:02:21Still trying to play hero.
00:02:23I'm in the Army Reserve now, Cece.
00:02:25I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:02:28The will, please.
00:02:30Ooh, the Army Reserve.
00:02:33Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier.
00:02:36No one would have missed you.
00:02:37Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:02:39Look, you don't have to respect me, but don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on the battlefield.
00:02:47God, look around, Cece.
00:02:49With your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:02:52Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
00:02:56You have freedom and peace because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:03:00Of course, the will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:03:09And I want to thank you for your service.
00:03:16Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours only if signed by both you and your spouse.
00:03:25That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:28Tick tock.
00:03:41Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:03:43Give up your inheritance and I'll give you 1%.
00:03:47Better than nothing.
00:03:49You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:03:51You will not take what he left me.
00:03:53And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.
00:04:00Really, Shelby.
00:04:02Who's gonna marry you anyhow?
00:04:03The last guy you even slept with was a one night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:04:07Don't.
00:04:09Keep the mystery.
00:04:10You've already lost, Shelby.
00:04:12Take the 1% I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:04:16Right.
00:04:17You're not even gonna find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:04:18Watch me.
00:04:19Watch me.
00:04:20Watch me.
00:04:21Watch me.
00:04:22Watch me.
00:04:23Watch me.
00:04:24Watch me.
00:04:27Watch me.
00:04:28Watch me.
00:04:29Watch me.
00:04:30You're not even gonna find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:04:34You're not even gonna find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:04:39Watch me.
00:04:40Watch me.
00:04:44Tell me.
00:04:49Okay.
00:04:50No worries.
00:04:54No worries.
00:04:57OK.
00:04:58Don't worry.
00:05:01He looks single.
00:05:03Oh my God this is totally FUBAR.
00:05:06Suck it up, soldier.
00:05:08You can't let your evil step mother get offastic star.
00:05:12You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:05:17Hey, mister.
00:05:20Will you marry me?
00:05:30I know this sounds crazy, and there's no time to explain,
00:05:33but if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
00:05:37Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:40So you won't have to live on the streets anymore?
00:05:42Do I look like a homeless person there?
00:05:44Priceless.
00:05:47Shelby Trudeau, are you insane?
00:05:49You can't marry this...
00:05:51elbow?
00:05:54Shelby Trudeau, the late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:05:58That's right.
00:05:59The judge said she was a soldier.
00:06:01He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:06:04Here's a few bucks.
00:06:06Take it and get lost.
00:06:07Don't meddle in our business.
00:06:09Don't speak to him like that.
00:06:11He's a person with feelings.
00:06:14The Cinderella tale, complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister.
00:06:19It's clear who deserves my help, and the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:06:24All right.
00:06:25Let's get married.
00:06:26Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:43Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:46And your name is?
00:06:49Griffin Roy.
00:06:49And congratulations, you lovebirds.
00:07:12This isn't over.
00:07:24Tell her!
00:07:31Sergeant Trudeau.
00:07:32Mrs. Roy.
00:07:33You have to stay married for at least one full year, or everything goes to your stepmother
00:07:40and stepsister.
00:07:41You hear that, Shelby?
00:07:43You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:49Come on.
00:07:50I guess we'll need to keep in touch, but you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:08:02Once the estate gets settled, and I have the money, we can get you an apartment and set
00:08:07you up with a job.
00:08:08When most people get what they wanted, they usually just walk away.
00:08:12Well, I'm not most people.
00:08:15I see that.
00:08:23I gotta return this.
00:08:26Goodbye for now.
00:08:29Goodbye, wife.
00:08:30Where the hell have you been?
00:08:44Gotcha.
00:09:02Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:09:07This DNA.
00:09:08Get it to Detective Mixwayne right away.
00:09:09Look, as your campaign manager, I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:09:15You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
00:09:21Marrying Isabel was the best decision of my life.
00:09:26You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago, you got a package deal.
00:09:32Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor, playboy lawyer, the best.
00:09:37This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:09:41In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women who want me for what I am,
00:09:46not who I am.
00:09:47Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:09:51It's not just some girl.
00:09:52We had a connection.
00:09:55Never had that before.
00:10:02Look, I gotta run.
00:10:04But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
00:10:07Someone real.
00:10:09Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:10:12Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:10:32It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:10:34All right, guys.
00:10:36That's class.
00:10:38Nice work.
00:10:44So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:10:47I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:10:52Who knows how many other women he's done this to?
00:10:55So I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place and confront him in person.
00:11:01What's holding you back?
00:11:03Andre's some regular guy, Shelby.
00:11:05He's got a bro pack.
00:11:07These men are like wolves with money.
00:11:09Let's go.
00:11:10We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:12What's your name?
00:11:33I'm Stephanie.
00:11:34How about a drink, huh?
00:11:36Oh, that's okay.
00:11:37Come on.
00:11:37One little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:40Okay, one drink.
00:11:41Really, Pierce?
00:11:42This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:11:46You want to beat LaRoche?
00:11:47You got to mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andre's.
00:11:55I can't believe I slept with that.
00:11:58What was I thinking?
00:12:00I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:12:03I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
00:12:07It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
00:12:09You dickless loser.
00:12:27Drugging girls to get laid.
00:12:29What the fuck?
00:12:30Get out of my house, skank.
00:12:32I'm the skank?
00:12:34That's funny.
00:12:35You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:12:37Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:12:40Unless you're back for more, I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:12:44You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:12:46I just told you that you have chlamydia and you...
00:12:49Oh, my God.
00:12:51You already know you have it.
00:12:53And you don't care.
00:12:55Ladies, Andre Ivanhoff has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
00:13:07What is she doing here?
00:13:09Both of you, get out of here.
00:13:10Oh, shit.
00:13:16She can't know who I am yet.
00:13:22Do you know who I am?
00:13:24I don't care.
00:13:29Dad.
00:13:29Where did she come from?
00:13:32That's my wife.
00:13:33Isn't she amazing?
00:13:34And she's going to cost you Andre once he finds out you're married to her.
00:13:37I don't care.
00:13:38You think you can crash my party and pull that ninja shit on me?
00:13:42You are one dead, bitch.
00:13:55Oh, nice.
00:13:56Did you see that combo?
00:13:58Dude, she can fight.
00:13:59Look at her form, man.
00:14:04She can really fight, man.
00:14:07You are hopeless.
00:14:09Hey.
00:14:10Swap me jackets.
00:14:11I'll give you my Rolex.
00:14:12Fuck you, Roy.
00:14:37I'll do everything I can to end you.
00:14:39We should get out of here.
00:14:40Yeah, yeah.
00:14:41Come on.
00:14:45Get him!
00:14:48You lied to me.
00:14:49You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:51Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
00:14:53You were next to a dumpster.
00:14:55That's not much of a leap.
00:14:56What were you doing at this party?
00:14:58Work in the room.
00:14:59Oh.
00:15:00I thought you were one of those asshole rich guys.
00:15:02I'm sorry.
00:15:04I hope I didn't cost you your job.
00:15:07I know how you can make it up to me.
00:15:09Have dinner with me.
00:15:12My place is nearby.
00:15:14I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
00:15:16Wow.
00:15:17A wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:15:20I'm one lucky man.
00:15:21Don't push it.
00:15:22Don't push it.
00:15:31Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:37This is nice.
00:15:38I haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time.
00:15:42It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.
00:15:44How long were you in the military?
00:15:46Seven years.
00:15:47I joined right after high school.
00:15:49My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.
00:15:52You weren't close with your father?
00:15:55I was.
00:15:56He was my hero.
00:15:58Until he wasn't,
00:16:01he cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:16:03He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
00:16:06It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:16:08That must have been really hard for you.
00:16:12It was harder on my mom.
00:16:14She didn't want anything to do with him,
00:16:15so I cut him off too.
00:16:17He even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:16:19But then three years ago, he reached out,
00:16:21told me he was sick,
00:16:22so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:16:24Here I am.
00:16:25Here you are.
00:16:27Enough about me.
00:16:29What's your story, Griffin Roy?
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:34Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:16:36We know you're in there, Shelby.
00:16:38The light is on.
00:16:39We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:42We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:45Hey.
00:16:46I'll handle this.
00:16:52Oh.
00:16:53I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling,
00:16:56but it's just you two.
00:16:57And you are?
00:16:58That's the homeless guy that's yelling married.
00:17:00What are you doing here?
00:17:02Why wouldn't Griffin be here?
00:17:04He's my husband, after all.
00:17:05Mama, what are we going to do?
00:17:08We need to challenge the will,
00:17:09but how can we do that if they're still together?
00:17:11Shut up, Cece.
00:17:12Oh.
00:17:13I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:17:16How pathetic and pointless.
00:17:19Look how in love we are.
00:17:21I look back.
00:17:23Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:17:27Right.
00:17:27We're going to shred that will and your shame of marriage in no time.
00:17:41Margo and Cece are going to be a problem.
00:17:43There's no way they'll let us be.
00:17:45What if we moved in together?
00:17:48You want to live here?
00:17:50No.
00:17:51Somewhere with better security.
00:17:54Like my place.
00:17:55Sure.
00:17:57I'm dying to see where you live.
00:18:04So let me get this straight.
00:18:06You told her you're house sitting?
00:18:08That's right.
00:18:09Said I was going to watch the house while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:18:13You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:15Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:17I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.
00:18:25That's very flattering, but you don't know anything about me.
00:18:28I know you take my breath away.
00:18:30And I know that I would wonder for the rest of my life if I didn't take this chance.
00:18:34Even if it was only for one night.
00:18:36Maybe it's better this way.
00:18:39No names.
00:18:40No past.
00:18:42We can just be ourselves.
00:18:43I'd like that very much.
00:18:47The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
00:18:50She liked me for me.
00:18:52And I want that again, Pierce.
00:18:55Even for a little while.
00:18:56Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.
00:19:08Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:19:10A lot of people know who you are.
00:19:12How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:19:15I don't know.
00:19:16But I have a chance to be with someone without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
00:19:20Well, just remember, we're about to launch a multi-platform campaign.
00:19:25In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboards, your face is about to be everywhere.
00:19:32Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.
00:19:35This place is insane.
00:19:56The owner must really trust you.
00:19:59Yep.
00:19:59We're pretty tight.
00:20:02Here, let me show you to your room.
00:20:05I can't keep living in the past.
00:20:13Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:20:22Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:20:30I take it things are going well with Xena Warrior Princess.
00:20:33Oh, she's so exciting.
00:20:34I'm competitive.
00:20:35Keeps me on my toes.
00:20:37I'm so damn beautiful.
00:20:39Face sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
00:20:42Well, when do I get to meet her?
00:20:43Her military background and work with actress women will be a real asset for both female and male voters.
00:20:49Dial it back, Pierce.
00:20:50We're in the early stages.
00:20:52All right.
00:20:52Well, don't take too long.
00:20:54You married her for the campaign.
00:20:55And it's not like she can dump you once she finds out.
00:20:58She needs you for her inheritance.
00:21:00Good.
00:21:01Good.
00:21:16Hey.
00:21:17I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:21:19Ooh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:21Get your mind out of the gutter, woman.
00:21:22I'm talking food here.
00:21:23All right.
00:21:25In that case, surprise me.
00:21:26Trust me.
00:21:27I'm full of surprises.
00:21:29I bet you are.
00:21:31See you soon.
00:21:41Gotcha, sis.
00:21:42So, this is where you've been at now.
00:21:56Did you want some of wine?
00:21:57I turned off your alarm.
00:22:25You obviously needed to sleep.
00:22:28We can run tonight.
00:22:29P.S.
00:22:30You snore.
00:22:31But it's super cute.
00:22:33I do not snore, Griffin Roy.
00:22:48What are you doing in a place like this?
00:22:53I live here.
00:22:54When did you move in?
00:22:55Um, last week.
00:22:57We're house-sitting.
00:22:58Yeah, I have heard that one before.
00:23:00Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.
00:23:02Thieves are always trying to break in.
00:23:05Who are you calling a thief?
00:23:07Please step out.
00:23:08Now.
00:23:10What the hell are you doing?
00:23:12Just routine inspection.
00:23:16Let's see what else you're hiding here.
00:23:18Get your filthy hands off my wife.
00:23:28What?
00:23:28What?
00:23:33Oh.
00:23:34Oh, cool.
00:23:35I thought I was saving you, but it looks like you got it.
00:23:39Oh, look out!
00:23:40Oh.
00:23:41Oh.
00:23:43Oh.
00:23:44Oh.
00:23:44Oh.
00:23:45Oh.
00:23:45Damn.
00:23:45Lady.
00:23:45You make it look easy.
00:23:47Easy.
00:23:47Easy.
00:23:47Are you hurt?
00:23:49Just my pride.
00:23:52Yeah, looks like you get it flat.
00:23:55Let's get out of here. We can take my car.
00:23:58This is yours?
00:24:00Borrowed it from a friend.
00:24:02Right.
00:24:05I know all the guards who work here, and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:09Who the hell are you, man?
00:24:12Some kind of big shot or something?
00:24:14Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.
00:24:18All right.
00:24:19You're under arrest.
00:24:22What the hell is going on?
00:24:31Well, that didn't go as planned.
00:24:34Mama, this is all your fault.
00:24:36You pushed me to hire those thugs to humiliate Shelby,
00:24:39and now my money's wasted, and she got off scot-free.
00:24:41Eyes on the price, Cece.
00:24:43Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate, this will be pocket change.
00:24:47Yeah.
00:24:48And who would have thought that bum would have got the police involved in all this mess?
00:24:51I don't believe he's a bum.
00:24:53I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?
00:24:56No matter whether he's a tramp or not, he married Shelby for her money.
00:25:01Offer him a better deal, and he'll leave her.
00:25:04We annul the marriage and claim the entire estate.
00:25:07Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox, the port-a-potty billionaire looking for a new gigolo?
00:25:14That old cougar?
00:25:15Oh, Cece, honey, when they're that age, they're not cougars.
00:25:20They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:22Well, then we just gotta make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25:30You really should have iced these right away.
00:25:39I realize that now.
00:25:41I've only ever sparred with gloves on, never thrown a bare-knuckle punch before.
00:25:45What?
00:25:49Did I just hand in my man card?
00:25:51No, you knocked a guy out with one punch.
00:25:54Your man card is fully intact.
00:25:56You just sounded like a prep school rich boy for a second.
00:26:05Not just for today, but for everything.
00:26:08It's been really lonely since my dad died, and it's nice having someone on my side.
00:26:13There's no need to thank me.
00:26:16I am your husband.
00:26:19Close your eyes.
00:26:30Okay.
00:26:32Fair is fair.
00:26:34I owe you one.
00:26:43Sorry.
00:26:54I know we're just pretending.
00:26:58Right.
00:27:00Pretending.
00:27:04I'm gonna...
00:27:05I'm gonna go for a run.
00:27:08Okay, I'll come with...
00:27:13What if it's just me?
00:27:17Wouldn't that be ironic?
00:27:18The first woman I'm into for so long is not into me.
00:27:21Fuck!
00:27:21Griffin kissed me, and it felt just like that night three years ago.
00:27:42What's wrong with me?
00:27:44How can I feel the exact same way for two different men?
00:27:47Okay.
00:27:47I don't know.
00:27:59He looks like a wet street dog.
00:28:01I'll shower in a haircut.
00:28:03He'll be marginally presentable.
00:28:05Hey!
00:28:06You!
00:28:11We got a proposition for you.
00:28:13How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?
00:28:15Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
00:28:18Get in.
00:28:27Are you sure he's not homeless?
00:28:33Eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:35So you want me to divorce Shelby
00:28:37and marry Victoria Wilcox, the shithouse billionaire?
00:28:43You will refer to them as Port-A-Potty's young man.
00:28:51We know you're after Shelby's inheritance,
00:28:54but she's never gonna see it.
00:28:57Well, he'll do.
00:29:04Oh, he'll do just nicely.
00:29:06Wait a minute.
00:29:10Have we met before because you look real familiar?
00:29:14Oh, no.
00:29:16Nope.
00:29:16I don't think I run in your kinds of circles,
00:29:19Ms. Wilcox.
00:29:20The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:26The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:29And you will also be paid $20,000 a month
00:29:32to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:29:37Hmm.
00:29:38Oh, you don't need to worry, boy,
00:29:40because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:45Oh, mm.
00:29:46Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:29:51Oh.
00:29:52Oh.
00:29:53Oh.
00:29:53Oh.
00:29:53I don't understand.
00:30:00This says...
00:30:01You're under arrest for pandering.
00:30:04Detective McSwain,
00:30:06this woman has tried to recruit me
00:30:08as a sex worker.
00:30:10That's a Class C felony.
00:30:12He's lying.
00:30:15And you will also be paid $20,000 a month
00:30:18to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:30:23Detective, Detective.
00:30:28There must be some misunderstanding.
00:30:30There's no nonsense going on here.
00:30:32No, you can't arrest me on the word of that bum.
00:30:35He set me up.
00:30:36Detective McSwain, it's getting late.
00:30:39I'd like to go home and see my wife.
00:30:47Wait.
00:30:49You have made a big mistake rejecting me.
00:30:52I'm a woman of wealth and power
00:30:55that you cannot fathom.
00:30:57I will make you pay very dearly for this.
00:31:00I don't think anyone mentioned my last name.
00:31:04It's Roy.
00:31:05Well, I knew you looked familiar, you see.
00:31:12I'm just an old woman.
00:31:14You could forgive me.
00:31:16Get out of my face.
00:31:20Pardon me.
00:31:22Excuse me.
00:31:23All right, we got her in the car.
00:31:26Now, where do you want this to go?
00:31:28Put the fear of God in there.
00:31:30Mug shot, fingerprints, dorks.
00:31:33Then in the morning, drop the charges
00:31:35before the press gets wind.
00:31:37Pierce, I have your hide.
00:31:39You got it, Griff.
00:31:40Where have you been?
00:31:53I was worried you were gone so long.
00:31:56Yeah?
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:57Uh, are you hungry?
00:32:00I can heat up some leftovers.
00:32:03Yeah, I'd like that.
00:32:07Did that just happen?
00:32:09Maybe I have a shot with her after all.
00:32:10Oh, baby, my little girl.
00:32:24Oh, I will never forget the humiliation
00:32:27that man has caused us.
00:32:29Don't you worry, Mama.
00:32:31I have a plan.
00:32:32I had all night to think about it
00:32:34in that cold, hard cell.
00:32:37If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby, fine.
00:32:39We'll just force Shelby to divorce him.
00:32:43And I know just where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:48It's amazing.
00:33:00I think we shaved 30 seconds off that time.
00:33:07I thought I was competitive.
00:33:10You even compete with yourself.
00:33:21If you're not growing...
00:33:22You're dying.
00:33:24I, um...
00:33:25I'm going to go shower.
00:33:28Me too.
00:33:29Get a grip, Shelby.
00:33:35So he's hot.
00:33:36You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
00:33:39What makes him any different?
00:33:42He just is.
00:33:47Hey, Zara.
00:33:48Shelby, you have to get here right away.
00:33:51Buford's kicking us out the gym.
00:33:52I'm sorry.
00:33:58My hands are tied.
00:34:01He says we have to leave.
00:34:03Okay, I got this.
00:34:04Mr. Buford, what are you doing?
00:34:06This is my place of business.
00:34:07You're done here.
00:34:08I sold the building.
00:34:09The new owners want you out.
00:34:11That's illegal.
00:34:12I have a lease.
00:34:13They've got a break clause for new management,
00:34:16and they've decided to activate it.
00:34:17Who the hell is they?
00:34:24That would be us.
00:34:28If we can take it from here.
00:34:30Sure thing.
00:34:30Pleasure doing business with some ladies.
00:34:32I know you used all your army money for this gym,
00:34:36but you can get it back.
00:34:38All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.
00:34:41Get a divorce.
00:34:43Give up your inheritance.
00:34:44And then you can keep your dinky, smelly gym.
00:34:51I bet you want to hit me so bad.
00:34:58Not so tough now?
00:34:59All right, Shelby.
00:35:01Screw you.
00:35:02I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:35:05Sorry.
00:35:05The building is now closed for renovations,
00:35:09and everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:12Of course, you could sue,
00:35:15but that would take months.
00:35:18Well, what would happen to your gym now, Shelby?
00:35:22That's blackmail.
00:35:23We like to call it capitalism.
00:35:25You don't sign, we close the gym,
00:35:27and then you lose everything.
00:35:31Think about what you're doing.
00:35:33This gym is a lifeline for so many women.
00:35:35I won't let you take it from them.
00:35:37You can beg, but I won't budge.
00:35:41Be a smart girl and sign the papers by tomorrow,
00:35:45or you can kiss your Valkyrie fight club goodbye.
00:35:49And watch us turn it into Valkyrie strip club.
00:35:55Isn't that a good idea?
00:35:56There's poles and everything.
00:35:58Oh, my.
00:35:58Plenty of girls.
00:35:59Ooh.
00:36:00They're cute.
00:36:00They are cute.
00:36:02Cute enough.
00:36:02I'm not here because I give a damn if you win.
00:36:15I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy doesn't.
00:36:18Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:36:21The fuck you say?
00:36:23What exactly did Roy do to earn your loathing?
00:36:27He partnered up against me with a she-warrior.
00:36:30I want to see them both destroyed.
00:36:34Well, with your connections and my political might,
00:36:38I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:49LaRose got Andre.
00:36:51What are we going to do about this?
00:36:53Nothing.
00:36:54We do not want these two pairing up, all right?
00:36:57This is political suicide.
00:36:58Just talk to Shelby.
00:37:00Maybe if you both apologize-
00:37:01Um, hell no.
00:37:03Let them do their best.
00:37:05Mark my words,
00:37:06this is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
00:37:13Hello, Shelby.
00:37:15Griffin.
00:37:17We need to talk.
00:37:18Shelby, what's going on?
00:37:27You sounded tense on the phone.
00:37:30I have so many missed moments.
00:37:32Things I should have said or done.
00:37:35Chances that were lost that might have been pivotal to my life.
00:37:39I don't want you to be another moment that I miss.
00:37:41You first.
00:37:54You first.
00:37:54You first.
00:38:19You first.
00:38:20The best.
00:38:21The best.
00:38:23The best.
00:38:48that was

00:39:43i've had them too
00:39:45you will not be one of them
00:39:47i know we said we were pretending
00:39:51but
00:39:51i want to give us a chance
00:39:53a real one
00:39:55oh
00:39:56you
00:41:07Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour.
00:41:09We can go over the divorce papers.
00:41:16Goodbye, my husband.
00:41:17I knew something must have happened.
00:41:34Hello?
00:41:35Pierce, I need you to use all your connections to find out what Cece and Margot Trudeau did to Shelby yesterday.
00:41:43Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.
00:41:47It's five in the morning.
00:41:49You have an hour.
00:41:55How did Cece get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?
00:42:00She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral.
00:42:03Stupid.
00:42:04Good for us, bad for them.
00:42:06And the property title?
00:42:08Still in escrow.
00:42:09The title hasn't been transferred yet.
00:42:11Make sure it is your name.
00:42:14You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive.
00:42:17Oh, goody, goody.
00:42:24Talk to me, Mixway.
00:42:25I showed the fake guards in lock-up Cece Trudeau's mugshot.
00:42:29You're right.
00:42:29She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife.
00:42:32How'd you know?
00:42:33Had her M.O. written all over it.
00:42:35I take it the kid gloves are off this time?
00:42:37Oh, yeah.
00:42:38Cece Trudeau thinks she's untouchable.
00:42:40Let's show her just how wrong she is.
00:42:50I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
00:42:53I definitely have.
00:42:55Showtime.
00:42:58I'm your campaign manager, not some hired muscle.
00:43:01Here's what I think about your agreement.
00:43:06Did you see that?
00:43:08Did you see that?
00:43:08She chose me, man.
00:43:09She chose me.
00:43:11Well, hell.
00:43:12Looks like she did.
00:43:14You fucking bitch!
00:43:17That's her cue.
00:43:22Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby.
00:43:23You're going to lose everything.
00:43:25You know, at least I still have my self-respect, which is more than I can say for you.
00:43:30Don't be hasty, Cece.
00:43:32She's basically a man.
00:43:33You'll get hurt.
00:43:33I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine, but I will never agree to your demands.
00:43:41Reclaim what's yours.
00:43:42You're never going to step foot in your precious gym ever again.
00:43:45That will be difficult to enforce since I now own the building.
00:43:52Who the hell are you?
00:43:54Pierce Durant, the new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.
00:43:59What?
00:43:59Your deal fell out of escrow.
00:44:05I swooped in and bought it.
00:44:07That's impossible.
00:44:08I own it.
00:44:10Let me spell this out in a way that even an imbecile will understand.
00:44:13Durant, I outbid you.
00:44:16The building is mine.
00:44:18Now scram.
00:44:19I never.
00:44:21Miss Trudeau, I want to ensure you that your lease is secure.
00:44:25The only change will be a 40% rent reduction.
00:44:29That's unbelievable.
00:44:31Are you sure you can afford that?
00:44:33Oh, yeah.
00:44:33Thank you, Mr. Durant.
00:44:38The gym means a lot to the women in this community.
00:44:46Cece Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion.
00:44:49The fake guards identified you as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau.
00:44:54Okay, well, but that was last week.
00:44:56You can't arrest me now.
00:44:57We most certainly can, and this time the charges won't be dropped.
00:45:01No, no, no, you can't take my girl.
00:45:05No, you can't take me.
00:45:05I'm coming after you.
00:45:06I'm never going to forget this when I get out.
00:45:08You're mine.
00:45:17Zara, call everyone.
00:45:21Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
00:45:23Well, aren't you going to go over there?
00:45:33You are the one that orchestrated this whole thing.
00:45:36No, it's her victory.
00:45:39I merely did what a husband shouldn't to ensure happiness.
00:45:42That's my reward.
00:45:44That is some wild shit you just spouted.
00:45:46This girl is seriously causing you to lose it, Griff.
00:45:49You worry too much.
00:45:50And you don't worry enough.
00:45:52We have a campaign to win.
00:45:54And you're ten points behind LaRoche in all the latest polls.
00:45:57What are you driving at?
00:45:58Tell Shelby who you are.
00:46:00The voters need to know who your wife is, and we need to be able to shape the narrative.
00:46:05You wait too long, and Neville LaRoche is going to find out and beat us to it.
00:46:09Okay, I'll tell her.
00:46:12I just, I need a few more days of just me with her.
00:46:18Then I'll confess everything.
00:46:29That's Shelby Trudeau, owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
00:46:33Pretty girl.
00:46:35So is she screwing?
00:46:37Duran or Roy?
00:46:38I don't know, sir.
00:46:40That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
00:46:44Those stuck-up twats kept going on and on about their precious lineages dating back to the Mayflower.
00:46:54Not everyone's by trash like you, Isabel.
00:46:59It is a wonder how you overcame your low-class origins and gained my interest.
00:47:06That wasn't your interest, darling.
00:47:08That was your cock.
00:47:09Hmm.
00:47:10Too shame, my dear.
00:47:12Why are you looking at a picture of her?
00:47:14Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:47:16Well, she went by Michelle in high school.
00:47:19But yeah, that's her.
00:47:20She was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school.
00:47:26From bullies like you, per se.
00:47:30Oh, that is unfortunate.
00:47:34You'll have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect.
00:47:37Me and your new bestie, Isabel.
00:47:40Oh, baby, no.
00:47:42Oh, my God.
00:47:44It's cooling off.
00:47:51We should go inside.
00:47:53Just a few more minutes.
00:47:55Can't remember the last time I let myself just be.
00:47:59Yeah.
00:48:01Yeah.
00:48:02I think it was when my parents were still together.
00:48:05Before the divorce, the cheating, mom getting sick.
00:48:10I was carefree then.
00:48:12I joined the army after, but that was just another roller coaster.
00:48:15It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory cutting off weapon supply routes.
00:48:23Well, I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:48:27It's not the place, it's the person.
00:48:30I feel like I've known you forever.
00:48:38Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:48:45I guess I can wait one more day.
00:48:55Our most sought after class of Valkyrie is our women's self-defense kickboxing.
00:49:03Sign me up.
00:49:05Oh, shit.
00:49:06Isabel.
00:49:07The girl who made my life and everyone else is a living hell in high school.
00:49:11What sneaky BS is she up to?
00:49:14Oh, my gosh.
00:49:15Michelle, is that you?
00:49:17I go by Shelby now.
00:49:19You look amazing.
00:49:21Michelle, Shelby, and I go way back.
00:49:25Gosh, what a small world.
00:49:28Well, for our membership, we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
00:49:32How about I pay up front for three years?
00:49:35And I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join.
00:49:38You know, if you're really serious about this, you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:49:42I was a mean girl in high school, and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:49:50What you've built here is so empowering.
00:49:54If 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.
00:50:02Oh, Shelby, can we start over?
00:50:07Would you let me try to make it right?
00:50:12Okay.
00:50:12This is so awesome.
00:50:23How about lunch?
00:50:24I'm free to grab a bite right now.
00:50:26We can catch up.
00:50:29Okay.
00:50:30Let me grab my bag.
00:50:31Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign.
00:50:44He's pro-union and has a five-point plan to improve workplace safety regulations.
00:50:50Shit.
00:50:52No, no, not you.
00:50:53I gotta call you back.
00:50:55LaRoche knows about Shelby.
00:51:06He sicked Isabel on her.
00:51:07Look, here's her Instagram.
00:51:11What the fuck?
00:51:12LaRoche's oppo research must have tagged her.
00:51:14Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
00:51:17Screw the narrative.
00:51:18It's a trap.
00:51:19They've got my wife.
00:51:20I thought this was supposed to be a quick bite.
00:51:29I have a business to run, you know.
00:51:31You haven't changed a bit since high school.
00:51:33So dedicated.
00:51:34I've always admired that about you.
00:51:37All right, cut the crap, Izzy.
00:51:40Others might buy your ladylike act,
00:51:42but I know you're still the same vicious bully inside.
00:51:46You didn't come to my gym by accident.
00:51:47What's your angle?
00:51:48Neville asked me to befriend you.
00:51:50I don't want to be here.
00:51:52So I can just add that to the list of reasons
00:51:54why I fucking loathe you.
00:51:58What's my angle, Shelby?
00:52:01The complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy.
00:52:04And if I can take you down with him,
00:52:06all the better.
00:52:13Shelby, listen to me.
00:52:14The press are on their way.
00:52:15I don't have time to explain,
00:52:16but I fucked up.
00:52:18You have to get out of that restaurant.
00:52:20Now.
00:52:24Too late to run.
00:52:25My hubby's here.
00:52:26Leaving so soon, Miss Trudeau.
00:52:28Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
00:52:30Come on, Shelby, pick up.
00:52:35Let me know you got out of there.
00:52:39Who the hell are you?
00:52:41Congressman.
00:52:42Neville LaRoche.
00:52:44I understand why your husband probably never mentioned me,
00:52:46seeing as how there's so much he hasn't told you.
00:52:49Please, sit down.
00:52:51Isabel was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived.
00:52:54No matter.
00:52:55No matter.
00:52:56We'll do this the less genteel way if we must.
00:53:02Both of these men are retired Navy SEALs.
00:53:05I've heard a lot about your fighting skills.
00:53:08So, I came prepared.
00:53:09What's this about?
00:53:18What's this about?
00:53:19I spoke with your stepmother, Margo.
00:53:23She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:24Well, it seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bum on the streets.
00:53:30And actually, well, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:53:35I can't believe you fell for that.
00:53:38Not so smart now, are you, Shelby?
00:53:42You're lying.
00:53:43You are Roy's secret bride.
00:53:46A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:53:50When the press arrives, you will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana
00:53:56so that they may know what kind of man Roy really is.
00:54:10Hey, I got it now.
00:54:14Let me go.
00:54:16Shelby, please.
00:54:17Why did you keep your marriage a secret?
00:54:20The voters have a right to know.
00:54:21What else are you hiding?
00:54:23You son of a bitch.
00:54:25Come now, Roy.
00:54:26Don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes.
00:54:40Shell.
00:54:41Shell.
00:54:42Please, hear me out.
00:54:43Don't shell me.
00:54:45God, all of your charm.
00:54:47It's just a lie.
00:54:49I never meant to let it get this far.
00:54:52I planned on coming clean.
00:54:53More lies, Griffin Roy?
00:54:55I was going to tell you today.
00:54:57Convenient.
00:54:58Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start?
00:55:01Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
00:55:05That was always a possibility.
00:55:06Get away from my house.
00:55:10This is technically my home.
00:55:13House-sitting my ass.
00:55:16You are the worst, and I never want to see you again.
00:55:21Shelby.
00:55:21Professional candidate Griffin Roy has a secret bride.
00:55:31Our reporter is...
00:55:33Ted Smith.
00:55:33Oh!
00:55:55Peter.
00:55:56You gotta get a sip of that?
00:56:26This is private property?
00:56:31Which I own.
00:56:33Liar. Pierce Durand owns this building.
00:56:35He works for me.
00:56:37Then I'll move. I don't want to owe you anything.
00:56:41Oh Shelby, Shelby, come out would you please?
00:56:59I wake up in the morning and reach for you, but you're not there.
00:57:06I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
00:57:15Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:19You're ridiculous. You do know that, don't you?
00:57:24Oh Shelby, Shelby, don't leave me hanging.
00:57:28What are you doing? You're supposed to turn it on.
00:57:31Yeah, I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:36It's broken. The guy totally scammed me.
00:57:39You are beyond ridiculous.
00:57:42Please, Shelby, I didn't say what I wanted to before.
00:57:47Just give me a chance to explain.
00:57:52Fine. Come in, you fool.
00:57:55Yeah, I'll come into my own house.
00:57:58You have two minutes.
00:58:03Growing up as a Roy, no one ever liked me for me.
00:58:17It's always been about the money, the access.
00:58:21Then, at a moment, three years ago, where someone did, like me, for me.
00:58:32They had no idea who I was.
00:58:35And I just remember how freeing it felt.
00:58:40So when I met you, and I felt that spark I've been searching for, I didn't think.
00:58:51I just fucking left.
00:58:53Why wait so long to tell me?
00:58:55I've never gone into enemy territory to cut off weapons supply routes.
00:59:02I boxed in prep school.
00:59:04Yeah, you got that right.
00:59:07But otherwise, I've always been more of a lover rather than a fighter.
00:59:13And I've done well as a lawyer.
00:59:16But I did not earn those billions.
00:59:19I inherited them from generations of dickheads.
00:59:26When you meet a girl who's a total package, you just want to be her total package, too.
00:59:33You really are ridiculous.
00:59:36You know, I have laughed more with you in the past two weeks than I have in my entire life.
00:59:42I'm way too serious, Griffin.
00:59:44Sometimes I forget how to let go.
00:59:47But with you, every day is fun.
00:59:50So, does that mean you forgive me?
00:59:53I'm thinking about it.
00:59:58Yeah.
00:59:59You think too much.
01:00:00Time for makeup sex.
01:00:02So, that's makeup sex.
01:00:09Yeah.
01:00:10Yeah.
01:00:11Griffin, it hurts so much thinking we were over.
01:00:17I know.
01:00:18I never want to feel like that again.
01:00:21I promise not to let anything get in between us.
01:00:24This changes everything.
01:00:33Now, thanks for the heads up.
01:00:35I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried for as long as possible.
01:00:39Run.
01:00:40I want to stay right here.
01:00:54I don't know.
01:00:55I want to stay right here.
01:00:56I'm sorry.
01:00:57I'm sorry.
01:00:58I'm sorry.
01:00:59I'm sorry.
01:01:00I'm sorry.
01:01:01I'm sorry.
01:01:02I'm sorry.
01:01:03Hey, man.
01:01:04Seriously?
01:01:05That's all you have to say?
01:01:06Seriously?
01:01:07That's all you have to say?
01:01:13Come on.
01:01:18How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:20We've known each other since college.
01:01:22What are you talking about?
01:01:23Didn't you get any of my texts or calls?
01:01:26I must have forgot to charge it.
01:01:28I had quit a night last night.
01:01:30Shelby and I made up.
01:01:32She's forgiven me.
01:01:34Well, she won't forgive you for this.
01:01:37You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy.
01:01:43Michelle Lane.
01:01:45I don't even know who that is.
01:01:47Well, you knew her well enough to marry her three years ago.
01:01:53This can't be right.
01:01:54I got it from a parish clerk.
01:01:56She's agreed to keep it hush-hush for now.
01:01:58The ceremony was conducted at a church.
01:02:00The priest signed and completed the marriage certificate.
01:02:04Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:02:09I now pronounce ye man and wife.
01:02:12The masked girl from Hardi Gras.
01:02:15I finally know her name.
01:02:17Michelle.
01:02:18Shit.
01:02:19That finally makes sense.
01:02:21Of course you wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist.
01:02:26Shelby.
01:02:27Fuck.
01:02:29What am I gonna tell her?
01:02:30Look, it could still be one big mistake.
01:02:33I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:35I have something for you.
01:02:51I hacked into the parish database.
01:02:53Griffin Roy is legally married to both Michelle Lane and Shelby Trudeau.
01:02:57That's it.
01:02:58He's finished.
01:03:00Griffin Roy will be in jail for bigamy before cocktail hour.
01:03:05Michelle Lane is Shelby Trudeau.
01:03:08They're legally married to each other on two separate occasions.
01:03:12They just don't know it yet.
01:03:14That's insane.
01:03:16Check the date.
01:03:17They got married the first time during Mardi Gras.
01:03:18Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated.
01:03:22We could use that angle.
01:03:24Yeah, the romance is already trending.
01:03:27He made an idiot of himself with that boombox and voters.
01:03:30Oh, they're just eating it up.
01:03:34He's catching up in the polls.
01:03:37Now, Roy unknowingly marries twice.
01:03:40The girl he's been searching for since Mardi Gras.
01:03:43This will make them seem like some faded love story.
01:03:48We got nothing on him.
01:03:50Honey, we've got everything we need.
01:03:52What they don't know can definitely hurt them.
01:03:53And right now, to Griffin Roy, Michelle Lane could be anybody.
01:03:55You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear.
01:03:57Who?
01:03:59Well, we have a very limited window to make this work.
01:04:04Right now, to Griffin Roy, Michelle Lane could be anybody.
01:04:11You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear.
01:04:15Who?
01:04:19Well, we have a very limited window to make this work.
01:04:23We will hit hard, but fast.
01:04:30What is she going to say when I tell her I'm married?
01:04:34All right, ladies, good job. That's it for tonight.
01:04:38Remember, this weekend's Mardi Gras. Have fun.
01:04:41But you know what to do if anybody messes with you.
01:04:44Nice work.
01:04:46Hi.
01:04:48Hungry?
01:04:51Yeah, so today's class went super well.
01:04:55Two new students, they really need to pick up on a lot of things.
01:04:58You're everything I've ever wanted.
01:05:00Everything I didn't even dare to dream.
01:05:02You're it for me. I can't lose you.
01:05:06Griffin, are you okay?
01:05:09Yeah. Just some stuff for the campaign.
01:05:15I want to help. LaRoche can't win.
01:05:18He and Isabelle are evil.
01:05:20We're the kind of man that people need.
01:05:21I can't imagine anyone else by myself.
01:05:25I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
01:05:27We will plan a siege that surrounds them from all sides.
01:05:31That sounds amazing, Cheryl.
01:05:32Father?
01:05:33I remember the two of you.
01:05:47You have it, lad. That special spark.
01:05:50I don't see it often in couples, but when I do, it makes an impression.
01:05:54You must be mistaken. This woman and I, we'd met that day.
01:05:59And you were already finishing each other's sentences. Dying to tie the knot. There was no stopping you.
01:06:04I was drunk.
01:06:06Drunk with love. The man I married knew what he was doing.
01:06:09I mean, how is this even legal? New Orleans has a 24-hour waiting period.
01:06:14Unless the judge waves it.
01:06:16Son of a bitch. Who was it?
01:06:18He was your best man. You called him Remy.
01:06:21Remy Cal? That bastard.
01:06:24No wonder he always had that stupid smirk on his face whenever I stood before him in court.
01:06:30Fuck!
01:06:32Fuck!
01:06:33I don't care. I don't care. We need to know all the marriage now. I love my wife.
01:06:41You're in a bit of a pickle.
01:06:43Cause in my book, you love Joe to wife as well.
01:06:51Sir.
01:06:53Mrs. Rose is in your office with Mr. Durand.
01:06:55Shelby.
01:07:00Griffin, this is the woman you've been looking for.
01:07:02This is Michelle Lane.
01:07:06Hi, Griffin. You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:17So you've been an escort for seven years.
01:07:19That's right. Since high school.
01:07:21And that really is your toddler.
01:07:23My baby girl, Fleur? She has no daddy. This will be good for her.
01:07:26If I may ask, how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:30That is the least of your worries.
01:07:33Alright, chop chop.
01:07:35Now action.
01:07:37Hi, Griffin.
01:07:38You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:52It was Mardi Gras.
01:07:54We were completely wasted and we ended up in some church with an Irish priest.
01:07:58We had a wild night at the hotel. And well, Fleur was the happy accident nine months later.
01:08:07It can't be true. I've never met you in my life. I mean, you were wearing masks.
01:08:15Yes, that's right. We were. By the time I found out I was pregnant, two months had passed.
01:08:20I've been trying to find you ever since, but it wasn't until I saw one of your ads for Congress that I recognized your voice.
01:08:25It was a miracle. It's too much. She's losing him.
01:08:31Tone it down. Tone it down.
01:08:36Listen, lady, I don't know who you're trying to con with this act.
01:08:40Griffin, don't.
01:08:42But there is no way in hell that I'm married to you.
01:08:45What's going on, Griffin?
01:08:49Is this woman really your wife?
01:08:50No, she's not. We don't know.
01:08:56Which is it?
01:08:58You are my wife. Only you.
01:09:01I understand this is a lot to take in. Fleur and I will just go. I'll have my lawyer reach out.
01:09:09No, no lawyers. We don't need to involve any authorities. This can all be solved with a simple DNA test.
01:09:16Piers, this woman is a fraud.
01:09:20Griffin, think about it. She says Fleur is your daughter. One little test and that'll prove if she's lying or not.
01:09:26We need to know, Griffin. I need to know.
01:09:31Fine. But I don't want these doubts to fester. We can rush the DNA results and get them back in a few hours.
01:09:36Might I suggest a more private setting. Less eyes.
01:09:42Understood. We can wait back at my house for the results to come.
01:09:52We've got them. You're up.
01:09:54You are up.
01:09:55You are up.
01:10:09You are up.
01:10:10I'll go.
01:10:11Cute kid
01:10:26Don't
01:10:27Just don't
01:10:30Shelby go upstairs
01:10:31She fed them snacks
01:10:34And then locked herself
01:10:36In the guest room
01:10:36I can't lose her
01:10:40Pierce
01:10:42I won't
01:10:44Moment of truth, buddy
01:11:10Fleur
01:11:14Meet your daddy
01:11:16I will, of course
01:11:18Provide for you both
01:11:21Financially
01:11:21Fleur doesn't need a checkbook
01:11:24She needs a father
01:11:25What do you want?
01:11:43The guest bedroom is empty
01:11:44You and Fleur
01:11:47Can stay there
01:11:48Shelby
01:11:51Just
01:11:52Don't do this
01:11:54Just give me some time
01:11:56I can fix it
01:11:58This isn't something you fix
01:12:00You can't be legally married to two women
01:12:02At the same time
01:12:03And you have a child with one of them
01:12:05You need to get a divorce
01:12:09She's right, Griff
01:12:14Griffin, you have a daughter now
01:12:17You're a father
01:12:18And you have to put your child first
01:12:20You can't be Margo
01:12:23I won't do that to another little girl
01:12:25I've spent my whole life
01:12:29Looking for you
01:12:30How can I let you go?
01:12:34Sometimes love isn't enough
01:12:40How'd you know Shelby would leave him because of the kid?
01:12:47Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people
01:12:49It's not her nature to put herself first
01:12:52Oh
01:12:52You're a scary woman
01:12:54I know
01:12:56Hi, I'm Jane
01:13:01I'm Shelby Jr
01:13:02We've been saved
01:13:04It's true
01:13:04So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered?
01:13:14I'm sorry
01:13:14So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered?
01:13:32I'm sorry
01:13:38That's strange.
01:14:06I thought I heard something.
01:14:08I thought I heard something.
01:14:38It's like she was never here.
01:14:41I thought I heard something.
01:14:48She took everything but left this behind.
01:15:01What the hell is this?
01:15:15I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain, but if you help me, I promise
01:15:22a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
01:15:24This place is insane.
01:15:26The owner must really trust you.
01:15:31Could it be?
01:15:33It's her.
01:15:46It's always been her.
01:15:48Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:55You know, as soon as you saw the forged DNA test, it was a done deal.
01:15:57Who is she working for?
01:15:59How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby?
01:16:02Give me your name.
01:16:03Come on, just one name.
01:16:04Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close.
01:16:07I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead.
01:16:12Where is Shelby?
01:16:14Where is my wife?
01:16:16Where is Isabel taking me?
01:16:17I don't know what you're talking about.
01:16:18I will have you put away for the rest of your life
01:16:21and your daughter will grow up in a fucking orphanage.
01:16:24I don't know where she is.
01:16:26If I knew I'd tell you, I swear.
01:16:41What is wrong with me?
01:16:47Help!
01:16:48Somebody help!
01:16:50Do you need some water?
01:16:53Oh wait, I see you already had some.
01:16:56You poisoned me?
01:16:58Why?
01:17:00Why?
01:17:01Why?
01:17:02Where to begin?
01:17:06Lingering high school issues, offs.
01:17:09I'm helping Neville's campaign, duh.
01:17:12But the real reason, the one that cuts deep,
01:17:15is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist.
01:17:19By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice,
01:17:23he'll have gone missing, vanished without a trace.
01:17:28He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:17:31Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body,
01:17:35suspicion will follow Griffin for the rest of his life.
01:17:38Any political future he may have had will be as dead as you.
01:17:42Net?
01:17:45Back up.
01:17:47Married?
01:17:48Twice?
01:17:50Who's the...
01:17:52The woman and the little girl?
01:17:55Oh, just some cheap whore I hired to tell your husband
01:17:58that they've been married for the past three years.
01:18:01When really, it's been you all along.
01:18:04You've been searching for each other all this time.
01:18:08But now he'll never find you.
01:18:11All right, boys. She's all yours.
01:18:17I told you I'd get you back.
01:18:21Miss Trudeau, why are you here?
01:18:22My daughter, my baby Cece. I'm scared she's gonna do something terrible.
01:18:36What do you mean terrible? What's going on?
01:18:38I sold everything to get her out on bail and you...
01:18:43What does she do in return?
01:18:44She's...
01:18:45She's gone crazy.
01:18:47Stalking Shelby.
01:18:48She tailed her to some hotel in the French corner.
01:18:54What hotel?
01:18:56Excuse me, sir.
01:18:57My sister's staying here, but I've forgotten her room number.
01:19:01It's Shelby Trudeau.
01:19:02Sorry, ma'am. We can't disclose any guest information.
01:19:12Shelby...
01:19:16Come out. Come out wherever you are.
01:19:28I think I'll do it with my bare hands.
01:19:30It makes it more personal.
01:19:33Actually, do me a favor.
01:19:35Leave a lot of marks on that base of hers.
01:19:39Fuck you.
01:19:40I want people to see that she suffered.
01:19:43A lot.
01:19:44Oh, trust me. She will.
01:19:47Come on. Let's get this party started.
01:20:00Look what you've done.
01:20:08Pansy ass slap.
01:20:11She's stalling. And you're falling for it.
01:20:14Damn. Can't go to the valet smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:18I'll never give you your car keys.
01:20:20Shelby has clothes over there.
01:20:22James.
01:20:24I'll take care of me. You go take care of her.
01:20:26I found it, Griff.
01:20:27Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Lane.
01:20:28It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request.
01:20:29She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago.
01:20:31It's starting to make sense now.
01:20:32It was harder on my mom.
01:20:33She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off, too.
01:20:34Even started using my mom's maiden name.
01:20:35She's the one you've been looking for.
01:20:36It's been her all this time.
01:20:37How could it be so blind?
01:20:38Of course it had to be Shelby. It had to be her.
01:20:39It had to be her.
01:20:40I'm sorry.
01:20:41It's not.
01:20:42It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request.
01:20:43She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago.
01:20:47It's starting to make sense now.
01:20:49It was harder on my mom.
01:20:51She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off, too.
01:20:55Even started using my mom's maiden name.
01:20:58She's the one you've been looking for.
01:20:59It's been her all this time.
01:21:01How could it be so blind?
01:21:03Of course it had to be Shelby. It had to be her.
01:21:07My heart knew what my brain couldn't see.
01:21:10I got it.
01:21:11Your girl's in room 801.
01:21:14Thanks, man.
01:21:16Now I'm gonna go save the love of my life.
01:21:24Too much to drink.
01:21:34Stop right there.
01:21:37Not so fast.
01:21:43Griffin fucking Roy.
01:21:46Finally joined the party.
01:21:48I'm here for my wife.
01:21:50Not gonna happen, bruh.
01:21:51What you've done here is aggravated assault.
01:21:54But if you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping.
01:21:58That is a federal crime.
01:22:00They'll bring in the FBI.
01:22:02Someone will have to be around to identify us.
01:22:05That sure as hell won't be you.
01:22:09Did you get all that, Pierce?
01:22:10Police.
01:22:11Police are on their way.
01:22:12Hang in there, buddy.
01:22:15You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:22:16You're alive, Roy.
01:22:17You're alive, Roy.
01:22:18You're alive, Roy.
01:22:20You're alive, Roy.
01:22:21You're alive.
01:22:22You're alive.
01:22:23You're alive, Roy.
01:22:24You're alive.
01:22:25You're alive.
01:22:26I have won't be alive.
01:22:28Give me my life right now.
01:22:29Give me my wife back now!
01:22:54Shelby, you alright?
01:22:59Oh!
01:23:04Oh!
01:23:06Oh!
01:23:08Oh!
01:23:14Oh!
01:23:20Oh!
01:23:23Oh!
01:23:25Grif, my god.
01:23:32Do you need medical attention?
01:23:34No, but they do.
01:23:44I guess I renewed my man card.
01:23:47Sure did, honey.
01:23:48Fucked him up real good.
01:23:52Oh lord, please tell me there's something other than fatigues
01:23:55and combat boots in this thing.
01:24:05Shelby!
01:24:06You little bitch!
01:24:08Didn't I say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:24:12What?
01:24:14That's not...
01:24:15Shelby!
01:24:17Put your hands up where I can see him.
01:24:19This is the last one.
01:24:25Hey, hey, hey.
01:24:26I want to make a deal.
01:24:27What do you have to offer up?
01:24:29Congressman Neville LaRoche.
01:24:31I'm all ears.
01:24:39Is it really over?
01:24:41Yeah, it is.
01:24:42Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but...
01:24:48Three years ago, did we?
01:24:53You left us.
01:25:01It's true.
01:25:02I can't believe I finally found you.
01:25:07I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met.
01:25:11Why did you never come back?
01:25:13It's called a walk of shame, not a laugh of it.
01:25:33Mind your own business, Susie.
01:25:35Look at you, Shelby.
01:25:37One Mardi Gras hookup, and you think you found happily ever after.
01:25:41That's not how life works.
01:25:43Sure, he may have liked you with the mask on, but he's not going to want you with it off.
01:25:49Look, you both have a great memory now, but you'll look back, and you'll see that you're
01:25:54just the clueless chick who didn't know the score.
01:25:58You'll embarrass yourself, and more importantly, you'll embarrass him.
01:26:06I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:26:08I'm sorry I let her get to me, but to be honest, what we had seemed too good to be true.
01:26:15How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:26:20Exactly.
01:26:24But I did.
01:26:26And I do.
01:26:27Where do we go from here?
01:26:29Married twice.
01:26:31Deeply in love.
01:26:32Risked our lives to save each other.
01:26:34I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:26:39Shelby, will you?
01:26:42Yes, Griffin Roy.
01:26:47I will always love you.
01:26:50In this life or the next.
01:26:51I know everything.
01:26:56Every part of me, I'm yours.
01:27:00Amen.
01:27:00I love you.
01:27:19Amen.
