00:00:00Hey mister, will you marry me?
00:00:08Shelby Trudeau must be married by 5 o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:13I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau. I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:16Who's gonna marry you anyhow? The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:00:21Alright, let's get married.
00:00:23I can't keep living in the past. Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:00:28Why can't you just tell her it's your place if you'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. She liked me for me. 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.
00:00:48Look how in love we are.
00:00:50Sometimes I forget how to let go. But love you every day is fun.
00:00:54Actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in this.
00:00:58You are Roy's secret bride. A 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've spent my whole life looking for you.
00:01:08Sometimes love isn't enough.
00:01:11Could it be?
00:01:13It's her. It's always been her.
00:01:16How could it be so blind?
00:01:35I'm bored.
00:01:37According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married by five o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:49That unladylike girl is not my daughter.
00:01:52Bad enough, I'm her stepmother.
00:01:54Right, and hello. We want Shelby to no-show. That's the way we get everything.
00:01:59I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau. I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:02:15Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister. I'm dressed in your old uniform.
00:02:20Pathetic. Still trying to play hero.
00:02:23I'm in the Army Reserve now, Cece. I was doing weekend drills with my unit. The will, please.
00:02:30Oh, the Army Reserve.
00:02:33Should've just died in the field like a good little soldier. No one would've missed you.
00:02:37Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:02:41Look, 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. 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.
00:03:05Of 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.
00:03:22That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby. Tick-tock.
00:03:29Don't say I'm a bad stepmother. Give up your inheritance and I'll give you one percent. Better than nothing.
00:03:48You stole my father from me most of my life. You will not take what he left me.
00:03:54And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.
00:03:58Really, Shelby. Who's going to marry you anyhow? The last guy you even slept with was a one night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:04:07Mardi Gras.
00:04:21Don't. Keep the mystery.
00:04:23You've already lost, Shelby. Take the one percent I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:04:32Right. You're not even going to find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:04:38Watch me.
00:04:43Watch me.
00:04:53Don't worry.
00:05:06He looks single.
00:05:08Oh, my God. This is totally foobar.
00:05:11Suck it up, soldier. You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:05:18Hey, mister.
00:05:20Will you marry me?
00:05:23I 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.
00:05:38Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:41So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:05:43Do I look like a homeless person there?
00:05:45Priceless.
00:05:48Shelby Trudeau, are you insane?
00:05:49You can't marry this purple?
00:05:50Shelby Trudeau, the late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter. That's right. The judge said she was a soldier. He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:06:04Here's a few bucks.
00:06:06Take it and get lost. Don't meddle in our business.
00:06:10Don't speak to him like that. He's a person with feelings.
00:06:14The Cinderella tale. Complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister. It's clear who deserves my help. And the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:06:23All right. Let's get married.
00:06:29Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:44Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:46And your name is?
00:06:49Griffin Roy.
00:06:50R cleaning and abnormally got sex in your pockets.
00:06:53Oh, you have the number one.
00:07:07agua ring.
00:07:09But then you also have an orbital habit.
00:07:11And congratulations, all right, progression of the princess.
00:07:14We the Gerard trainƩ to be least at you.
00:07:14This isn't over.
00:07:24Tell her!
00:07:31Sergeant Trud-
00:07:32Mrs. Roy,
00:07:33you have to stay married for at least
00:07:36one full year
00:07:37or 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.
00:07:55I guess we'll need to keep in touch.
00:07:58But you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:08:02Once the estate gets settled
00:08:03and I have the money,
00:08:05we can get you an apartment
00:08:06and set you up with a job.
00:08:08When most people get what they wanted,
00:08:10they 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?
00:08:44Got you.
00:09:02Seriously, this is over the top,
00:09:03even for you.
00:09:04This DNA.
00:09:08Get it to Detective Mixwayne right away.
00:09:10Look, as your campaign manager,
00:09:11I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:09:15You'll never catch LaRose dumpster diving.
00:09:21Marrying Isabel
00:09:22was the best decision of my life.
00:09:25You know,
00:09:27when you elected me to Congress three years ago,
00:09:30you got a package deal.
00:09:32Griffin Roy,
00:09:33just another billionaire bachelor,
00:09:35playboy lawyer,
00:09:37the best.
00:09:38This, my friend,
00:09:39is where you're vulnerable.
00:09:41In a snap,
00:09:42I can line up a dozen
00:09:43beautiful, successful women
00:09:45who want me for what I am,
00:09:46not who I am.
00:09:47Look, you can't keep pining
00:09:49over some girl
00:09:50you 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,
00:10:05you need to find a woman
00:10:06who can stand by your side.
00:10:07Someone real.
00:10:09Not this made-up mystery girl
00:10:11you've built up in your head.
00:10:21Remember that true strength
00:10:30is not physical.
00:10:32It comes from the belief
00:10:33that you are worth defending.
00:10:35All right, guys.
00:10:36That's class.
00:10:38Nice work.
00:10:44So what's the latest
00:10:45on the STD super spreader?
00:10:46I tried to call him,
00:10:49but Mr. Chlamydia
00:10:50blocked my number.
00:10:52Who knows how many
00:10:53other women
00:10:53he's done this to.
00:10:55So I was thinking
00:10:56maybe it's time
00:10:58to go by his place
00:10:59and confront me in person.
00:11:02What'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
00:11:08wolves with money.
00:11:09Let's go.
00:11:10We'll face this douchebag
00:11:12together.
00:11:16What'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.
00:11:38One little drink
00:11:38won't do no harm.
00:11:40Okay, one drink.
00:11:41Really, Pierce?
00:11:42This clown
00:11:43is the one
00:11:44who controls
00:11:44the town's power brokers.
00:11:45You want to beat LaRoche?
00:11:47You got to mingle
00:11:48with the good,
00:11:48the bad,
00:11:49and the Andre's.
00:11:55I can't believe
00:11:57I slept with that.
00:11:59What was I thinking?
00:12:00I guess I can't
00:12:02hold my liquor.
00:12:03I mean,
00:12:03the night was just
00:12:04one big black hole.
00:12:07It wasn't the alcohol
00:12:08that caused you
00:12:08to black out.
00:12:09thing.
00:12:15That creep.
00:12:17You dickless loser.
00:12:27Drugging girls
00:12:28to get laid.
00:12:29What the fuck?
00:12:30Get out of my house,
00:12:31skunk.
00:12:32Huh?
00:12:33I'm the skunk?
00:12:34That's funny.
00:12:35You're the one
00:12:36spreading chlamydia.
00:12:37Shut the fuck up
00:12:38and get out of my house.
00:12:41Unless you're back
00:12:41for more,
00:12:42I know how much
00:12:43of a whore you really are.
00:12:44You like spreading
00:12:45your legs,
00:12:45don't you?
00:12:46I just told you
00:12:47that you have chlamydia
00:12:48and you...
00:12:49Oh, my God.
00:12:51You already know
00:12:52you have it.
00:12:54And you don't care.
00:12:56Ladies!
00:12:57Andre Ivanov
00:12:59has been knowingly
00:13:00spreading chlamydia.
00:13:07What is she doing here?
00:13:09Both of you,
00:13:10get out of here.
00:13:15Oh, shit.
00:13:16She can't know
00:13:17who I am yet.
00:13:23Do you know
00:13:23who I am?
00:13:24I don't care.
00:13:27Where did she come from?
00:13:32That's my wife.
00:13:34Isn't she amazing?
00:13:34And she's gonna cost you Andre
00:13:36once he finds out
00:13:36you're married to her?
00:13:37I don't care.
00:13:38You think you can
00:13:39crash my party
00:13:40and put that
00:13:41ninja shit on me?
00:13:43You are one
00:13:44dead 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.
00:14:05She 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.
00:14:12I'll give you my Rolex.
00:14:12Fuck you, Roy.
00:14:36I'll do everything I can
00:14:38to end you.
00:14:39We should get out of here.
00:14:40Yeah, yeah.
00:14:41Come on.
00:14:42Ah!
00:14:45Get him!
00:14:48You lied to me.
00:14:50You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:51Okay,
00:14:51when did I say
00:14:52I 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
00:14:57at this party?
00:14:58Work in the room.
00:14:59Oh,
00:15:00thought you were one of those
00:15:01asshole rich guys.
00:15:02I'm sorry.
00:15:05I hope I didn't cost you
00:15:05your job.
00:15:07I know how you can
00:15:08make it up to me.
00:15:09Have dinner with me.
00:15:12My place is nearby.
00:15:14I'll whip something up
00:15:15as a thank you for tonight.
00:15:16Wow.
00:15:17A wife who cooks
00:15:18and kicks ass.
00:15:20I'm one lucky man.
00:15:22Don't push it.
00:15:22Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:37This is nice.
00:15:39I haven't had
00:15:39a home-cooked meal
00:15:40in a long time.
00:15:42It's one of the things
00:15:43I miss the most
00:15:44when I was deployed.
00:15:44How long were you
00:15:45in the military?
00:15:46Seven years.
00:15:47I joined right after
00:15:48high school.
00:15:49My mom had just died
00:15:50and I was feeling
00:15:51rudderless.
00:15:52You weren't
00:15:53close with your father?
00:15:55I was.
00:15:56He was my hero.
00:15:59Until he wasn't,
00:16:01he cheated on my mom
00:16:02with Margo.
00:16:03He was the judge
00:16:04and she was
00:16:05the court stenographer.
00:16:07It was quite the scandal
00:16:08at the time.
00:16:09That must have been
00:16:10really hard for you.
00:16:12It was harder on my mom.
00:16:14She didn't want anything
00:16:15to do with him,
00:16:15so I cut him off too.
00:16:17Even started using
00:16:18my mom's maiden name.
00:16:19But then three years ago,
00:16:20he reached out,
00:16:21told me he was sick,
00:16:22so I came to New Orleans
00:16:23for a visit.
00:16:24Here I am.
00:16:26Here you are.
00:16:27Enough about me.
00:16:29What's your story,
00:16:30Griffin Roy?
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:34Shelby Trudeau,
00:16:35come on out now.
00:16:37We know you're in there,
00:16:37Shelby.
00:16:38The light is on.
00:16:39We are not leaving
00:16:40until you open this door.
00:16:42We are not leaving
00:16:43until you open this door.
00:16:44Hey.
00:16:45I'll handle this.
00:16:52Oh.
00:16:53I thought I heard
00:16:54a couple of stray cats
00:16:55out here yelling,
00:16:56but it's just you two.
00:16:57And you are?
00:16:59That's a homeless guy
00:16:59that's young and married.
00:17:01What are you doing here?
00:17:02Why wouldn't Griffin be here?
00:17:04He's my husband,
00:17:05after all.
00:17:07Mama,
00:17:08what are we going to do?
00:17:08We need to challenge the will,
00:17:09but how can we do that
00:17:10if they're still together?
00:17:11Shut up, Cece.
00:17:12Oh.
00:17:13I see you're still trying
00:17:14to rob my wife
00:17:15of her inheritance.
00:17:16How pathetic
00:17:17and pointless.
00:17:19Look how in love we are.
00:17:21I'm going to look back.
00:17:23Enjoy the little victory
00:17:25while it lasts.
00:17:27Right.
00:17:27We're going to shred that will
00:17:28and your shame of marriage
00:17:29in no time.
00:17:41Margo and Cece are going
00:17:42to be a problem.
00:17:43There's no way
00:17:44they'll let us be.
00:17:45What if we moved in together?
00:17:48You want to live here?
00:17:50No.
00:17:52Somewhere with better security.
00:17:54Like my place.
00:17:56Sure.
00:17:57I'm dying to see where you live.
00:18:05So let me get this straight.
00:18:06You told her your house sitting?
00:18:08That's right.
00:18:09I said I was going to watch the house
00:18:11while the owner was in Europe
00:18:13for the year.
00:18:13You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:16Why can't you just tell her
00:18:17it's your place?
00:18:22I saw you from across the room
00:18:23and I had to talk to you.
00:18:25That's very flattering,
00:18:26but 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
00:18:31for the rest of my life
00:18:33if I didn't take this chance,
00:18:35even 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.
00:18:44I'd like that very much.
00:18:48The girl from Mardi Gras
00:18:49didn't know I was a Roy.
00:18:51She liked me for me.
00:18:53And I want that again, Pierce.
00:18:55Even for a little while.
00:18:56Stash all this stuff
00:19:06in 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
00:19:13you can keep this charade up?
00:19:15I don't know.
00:19:16But I have a chance to be with someone
00:19:18without all the crap
00:19:19that goes along with being a Roy.
00:19:20Well, just remember,
00:19:22we're about to launch
00:19:23a multi-platform campaign.
00:19:26In two weeks,
00:19:27TV, radio, social, billboards,
00:19:29your face is about to be everywhere.
00:19:32Then I better make the most
00:19:34of the next 14 days.
00:19:35This place is insane.
00:19:56The owner must really trust you.
00:19:59Yep.
00:20:00We'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
00:20:14what the future holds.
00:20:23Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:20:30I take it things are going well
00:20:32with 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.
00:20:41So damn real.
00:20:42Well, when do I get to meet her?
00:20:43Her military background
00:20:44and work with actress women
00:20:45will be a real asset
00:20:46for 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.
00:20:56And it's not like she can dump you
00:20:57once she finds out.
00:20:58She needs you
00:20:59for her inheritance.
00:21:09Good.
00:21:16Hey.
00:21:17I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:21:18Ooh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:21Did you mind
00:21:21I let it go to woman?
00:21:22I'm talking food here.
00:21:24All 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.
00:21:32Gotcha, sis.
00:21:43So this is where you've been hiding now.
00:21:56Did you want some of wine?
00:22:02I turned off your alarm.
00:22:26You 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.
00:22:50What are you doing in a place like this?
00:22:53I live here.
00:22:54When did you move in?
00:22:56Um, 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.
00:23:08What the hell are you doing?
00:23:09What 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?
00:23:34Oh.
00:23:35Cool.
00:23:36I thought I was saving you, but it looks like you got it.
00:23:39Oh, look out.
00:23:40Damn, lady.
00:23:45You make it look easy.
00:23:47Easy.
00:23:47Easy.
00:23:47Easy.
00:23:47Easy.
00:23:48Are you hurt?
00:23:49Just my pride.
00:23:52Yeah.
00:23:53Looks like you get it flat.
00:23:55Let's get out of here.
00:23:56We can take my car.
00:23:58This is yours?
00:24:00Borrowed it from a friend.
00:24:01Right.
00:24:05I know all the guards who work here, and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:10Who 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?
00:24:23Well, 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, and now my money's wasted, and she
00:24:40got off scot-free.
00:24:42Eyes 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.
00:25:09Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox the port-a-potty billionaire looking for a new gigolo?
00:25:14That old cougar?
00:25:15Oh, Cece, honey.
00:25:17When they're that age, they're not cougars.
00:25:20They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:23Well, 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.
00:25:43Never thrown a bare-knuckle punch before.
00:25:48What?
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.
00:25:57You 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...
00:26:11It's nice having someone on my side.
00:26:13There's no need to thank me.
00:26:16I am your husband.
00:26:17Close your eyes.
00:26:30Okay.
00:26:32Fair is fair.
00:26:34I owe you one.
00:26:35Sorry.
00:26:54I know we're just pretending.
00:26:58Right.
00:27:00Pretending.
00:27:01I'm gonna...
00:27:05I'm gonna go for a run.
00:27:09Okay, 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!
00:27:31Griffin 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?
00:27:57I don't know.
00:27:59He looks like a wet street dog.
00:28:01I'll shower and 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?
00:28:16Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
00:28:18Get in.
00:28:19Are you sure he's not homeless?
00:28:33Eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:35So you want me to divorce Shelby and 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, but she's never gonna see it.
00:28:56Well, he'll do.
00:29:04Oh, he'll do just nicely.
00:29:09Wait a minute.
00:29:10Have we met before because you look real familiar?
00:29:13Oh, no.
00:29:15Nope.
00:29:16I don't think I run in your kinds of circles, Ms. Wilcox.
00:29:20The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:23The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:29And you will also be paid $20,000 a month to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:29:37Hmm.
00:29:38Oh, you don't need to worry, boy, because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:45Mm, mm.
00:29:45Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:29:47I don't understand.
00:30:00This says...
00:30:01You're under arrest for pandering.
00:30:04Detective McSwain, this woman has tried to recruit me as a sex worker.
00:30:11That's a class C felony.
00:30:12He's lying.
00:30:13And you will also be paid $20,000 a month to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:30:25Detective, Detective, there must be some misunderstanding. There's no nonsense going on here.
00:30:32No, you can't arrest me on the word of that bum. He set me up.
00:30:36Detective McSwain, it's getting late. I'm about to go home and see my wife.
00:30:43Wait. You have made a big mistake rejecting me. I'm a woman of wealth and power that you cannot fathom. I will make you pay very dearly for this.
00:31:00I don't think anyone mentioned my last name. It's Roy.
00:31:05Well, I knew you looked familiar, you see, but I'm just an old woman. You could forgive me.
00:31:16Get out of my face.
00:31:21All right, we got her in the car. How far do you want this to go?
00:31:27Well, put the fear of God in there. Mug shot, fingerprints, dorks. Then in the morning, drop the charges before the press gets wet.
00:31:37Here, so to have your hide. You got it, Griff.
00:31:40Where have you been? I was worried you were gone so long.
00:31:56Yeah?
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:59Uh, are you hungry? I can heat up some leftovers.
00:32:03Yeah, I'd like that.
00:32:04Did that just happen? Maybe I'd have a shot with her after all.
00:32:21My poor baby, my little girl.
00:32:24I will never forget the humiliation that man has caused us.
00:32:29Don't you worry, Mama. I have a plan. I had all night to think about it in that cold, hard cell.
00:32:37If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby, fine. We'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.
00:32:50I think we shaved 30 seconds off that time.
00:33:08I thought I was competitive. You even compete with yourself.
00:33:11You're not growing.
00:33:22You're dying.
00:33:24I, um, I'm gonna go shower.
00:33:28Me too.
00:33:33Get a grip, Shelby. So 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.
00:33:57I'm sorry, my 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? This is my place of business.
00:34:07You're done here. I sold the building. The new owners want you out.
00:34:11That's illegal. I have a lease.
00:34:13They've got a break clause for new management, and they've decided to activate it.
00:34:18Who the hell is they?
00:34:24That would be us.
00:34:25If we can take it from here.
00:34:30Sure thing. Pleasure doing business with you, ladies.
00:34:32I know you used all your army money for this gym, but you can get it back.
00:34:38All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.
00:34:42Get a divorce.
00:34:43Give up your inheritance.
00:34:45And then you can keep your dinky, smelly gym.
00:34:49I bet you want to hit me so bad.
00:34:58Not so tough now, Laura Shelby.
00:35:01Screw you.
00:35:02I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:35:05Sorry, the building is now closed for...
00:35:08renovations.
00:35:10And everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:12Of course, you could sue, but 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, and 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.
00:35:40Be 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 street club.
00:35:55Isn't that a good idea?
00:35:57There's poles and everything.
00:35:58Oh my.
00:35:58Plenty of girls.
00:35:59Ooh.
00:36:00They're cute.
00:36:01They are cute.
00:36:02Cute enough.
00:36:10I'm not here because I give a damn if you win.
00:36:15I'm here to make sure that Gryff and 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?
00:36:28He partnered up against me with a she-warrior.
00:36:30I want to see them both destroyed.
00:36:35Well, with your connections and my political might,
00:36:38I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:50LaRose got Andre.
00:36:51What are we going to do about this?
00:36:54Nothing.
00:36:54We do not want these two pairing up, all right?
00:36:57This is political suicide.
00:36:59Just talk to Shelby.
00:37:00Maybe if you both apologize-
00:37:02Um, 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.
00:37:14Hello, Shelby.
00:37:16Griffin,
00:37:17we need to talk.
00:37:25Shelby?
00:37:26What's going on?
00:37:27You sounded tense on the phone.
00:37:30I have so many missed moments.
00:37:33Things 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.
00:37:53You first.
00:37:54You first.
00:38:20What's going on?
00:38:20I'm off.
00:38:25I'm on.
00:38:26I don't know.
00:38:56I don't know.
00:39:26I don't know.
00:39:28I don't know.
00:39:30I don't know.
00:39:32I don't know.
00:39:34I don't know.
00:39:36I don't know.
00:39:38I don't know.
00:39:40Yeah.
00:39:41You said you had missed moments.
00:39:44I've had them too.
00:39:46You will not be one of them.
00:39:48I know we said we were pretending, but I want to give us a chance.
00:39:54A real one.
00:39:56Oh?
00:39:58I don't know.
00:40:00I know.
00:40:02I know.
00:41:04Cece, 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.
00:41:56How did Cece get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?
00:42:00She and Margot Trudeau were 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, McSwain.
00:42:26I 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.
00:43:02Here's what I think about your agreement.
00:43:07Did you see that?
00:43:08Did you see that?
00:43:08She chose me, man.
00:43:10She 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.
00:43:24You're going to lose everything.
00:43:26You 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.
00:43:39Reclaim what's yours.
00:43:42You're never going to step foot in your precious gym ever again.
00:43:46That will be difficult to enforce, since I now own the building.
00:43:53Who the hell are you?
00:43:55Pierce 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.
00:44:14I 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.
00:44:30That's unbelievable.
00:44:32Are you sure you can afford that?
00:44:33Oh, yeah.
00:44:35Thank you, Mr. Durant.
00:44:38The gym means a lot to the women in this community.
00:44:40C.C. 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, 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!
00:45:02No!
00:45:02No!
00:45:03No, 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.
00:45:08Oh, you're mine!
00:45:17Zara?
00:45:19Call everyone.
00:45:21Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
00:45:30Well, aren't you going to go over there?
00:45:33You're the one that orchestrated this whole thing.
00:45:35No.
00:45:37It's her victory.
00:45:38I merely did what a husband should to ensure her 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, and 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.
00:46:10Okay.
00:46:10I'll tell her.
00:46:12I just...
00:46:13I need a few more days of just me with her.
00:46:18Then I'll confess everything.
00:46:20That's Shelby Trudeau, owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
00:46:33Pretty girl.
00:46:36So is she screwing.
00:46:37Duran to 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 bought 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.
00:47:10Too 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.
00:47:21She 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.
00:47:38No, no.
00:47:39Me and your new bestie, Isabel.
00:47:41Baby, no.
00:47:42Oh, my God.
00:47:49It's cooling off.
00:47:51We should go inside.
00:47:52Just a few more minutes.
00:47:56Can't remember the last time I let myself just be.
00:48:01Yeah.
00:48:02I think it was when my parents were still together.
00:48:04Before the divorce, the cheating, while I'm getting sick.
00:48:11I was carefree then.
00:48:13I joined the army after, but that was just another roller coaster.
00:48:17It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory, cutting off weapon supply routes.
00:48:21Well, I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:48:27It's not the place, it's the person.
00:48:31I feel like I've known you forever.
00:48:38Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:48:39I guess I can wait one more day.
00:48:49Our most sought after class of Valkyrie is a women's self-defense kickboxing.
00:49:03Sign me up.
00:49:06Oh, 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?
00:49:13Oh, my gosh.
00:49:16Michelle, is it you?
00:49:17I go by Shelby now.
00:49:19You look amazing.
00:49:21Michelle, it's 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.
00:49:43I 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
00:49:58stop my pa from all the horrible things he did to me and Ma.
00:50:05Shelby, 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.
00:50:31Yeah.
00:50:32Griffin 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.
00:50:51Shit.
00:50:52No, no, not you.
00:50:53Uh, I gotta call you back.
00:51:04LaRoche knows about Shelby.
00:51:06He sicked Isabel longer.
00:51:07Look, here's her Instagram.
00:51:08What 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.
00:51:36All right, cut the crap, Izzy.
00:51:40Others might buy your ladylike act, but 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.
00:51:51I don't want to be here.
00:51:52So I can just add that to the list of reasons why 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, all 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, but 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?
00:52:34Come on, Shelby.
00:52:35Pick up.
00:52:36Let me know you got out of there.
00:52:39Who the hell are you?
00:52:41Congressman.
00:52:42Neville LaRoche.
00:52:43I 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.
00:52:56We'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.
00:53:15What's this about?
00:53:18What's this about?
00:53:19I spoke with your stepmother, Margot.
00:53:23She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:26It 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.
00:53:42You 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.
00:53:51When 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.
00:54:11I got it now.
00:54:12Let me go.
00:54:16Shelby, please.
00:54:18Why 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.
00:54:40Shelby.
00:54:41Shelby, please.
00:54:42Hear me out.
00:54:43Don't shell me.
00:54:46I got 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.
00:54:57Why 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.
00:55:07Get away from my house.
00:55:07Get away from my house.
00:55:10This is technically my home.
00:55:13How 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...
00:55:32Walter morality.
00:55:33Oh, thank you.
00:55:33We're still here for enjoyment.
00:55:34I was looking forward to my fight.
00:55:34But...
00:55:35I usually get on my ass and something like me.
00:55:36This is a future.
00:55:37And I pray for you.
00:55:38But, then, I look forward to my eyes.
00:55:41We'll come down to your house.
00:55:41Oh, let me know.
00:55:42I would be back to you with my house.
00:55:43I just.
00:55:43I love you.
00:55:44I love you, wife.
00:55:45ops vous.
00:55:46I'm sufrier.
00:55:47So far, how can I remain?
00:55:48kam ready?
00:55:49That way?
00:55:49Do the end?
00:55:50war, there'll be a new house.
00:55:55Can I get a sip of that?
00:56:25This is private property?
00:56:31Which I own.
00:56:32Liar. 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.
00:56:39Oh, Shelby, Shelby, come out, would you please?
00:56:59I wake up in the morning and reach for you, but you're not there.
00:57:09I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
00:57:16Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:21You'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.
00:57:32Yeah, I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:36It's broken. 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.
00:58:02You 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 excess.
00:58:21Then, at a moment, three years ago, where someone did, like me, for me.
00:58:33They had no idea who I was.
00:58:34And I just remember how freeing it felt.
00:58:42So when I met you, and I felt that spark I've been searching for,
00:58:47I didn't think, I 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.
00:59:00I boxed in prep school.
00:59:05Yeah, 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.
00:59:15But I did not earn those billions.
00:59:19I inherited them from generations of dickheads.
00:59:27When you meet a girl, it's a total package.
00:59:30You 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.
00:59:43Sometimes 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.
00:59:57Yeah.
00:59:59You think too much.
01:00:01Time for makeup sex.
01:00:06So, that's makeup sex.
01:00:10Yeah.
01:00:13Griffin, it hurts so much thinking we were over.
01:00:17I know.
01:00:19I never want to feel like that again.
01:00:22I promise not to let anything get in between us.
01:00:24Mm-hmm.
01:00:25This changes everything.
01:00:34Now, thanks for the heads up.
01:00:36I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried for as long as possible.
01:00:47Run.
01:00:47I want to stay right here.
01:00:58Where the hell are you, Griff?
01:01:00This is DEFCON 1.
01:01:03Hey, man.
01:01:04Seriously?
01:01:05That's all you have to say?
01:01:07Seriously?
01:01:08That's all you have to say?
01:01:12Come on.
01:01:13How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:20We've known each other since college.
01:01:21What are you talking about?
01:01:23Didn't you get any of my texts or calls?
01:01:25I must have forgot to charge it.
01:01:28I had caught a night last night.
01:01:30Shelby and I made up.
01:01:32She's forgiven me.
01:01:33Well, she won't forgive you for this.
01:01:35You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy.
01:01:44Michelle 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.
01:01:55I 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.
01:02:01The priest signed and completed the marriage certificate.
01:02:04Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:02:09Right now, pronounce ye man and wife.
01:02:13The masked girl from Warty Girl.
01:02:15I finally know her name.
01:02:18Michelle.
01:02:19Shit.
01:02:20That finally makes sense.
01:02:23Of course, she wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist.
01:02:26Shelby.
01:02:27Fuck.
01:02:29What am I going to tell her?
01:02:30Look, it could still be one big mistake.
01:02:34I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:42I 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.
01:02:58That's it.
01:02:59He's finished.
01:03:01Griffin Roy will be in jail for bigamy for cocktail hour.
01:03:06Michelle Lane is Shelby Trudeau.
01:03:09They're legally married to each other on two separate occasions.
01:03:12They just don't know it yet.
01:03:13That's insane.
01:03:16Check the date.
01:03:17They got married the first time during Mardi Gras.
01:03:20Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated.
01:03:23We 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.
01:03:35Now, Roy unknowingly marries twice, the girl he's been searching for since Mardi Gras.
01:03:43This will make them seem like some fated love story.
01:03:46This will make them seem like some fated love story.
01:03:55We got nothing on him.
01:03:57Honey, we've got everything we need.
01:04:01What they don't know can definitely hurt them.
01:04:03And right now, to Griffin Roy, Michelle Lane could be anybody.
01:04:10You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear.
01:04:14Who?
01:04:15Who?
01:04:16Well, we have a very limited window to make this work.
01:04:23We will hit hard, but fast.
01:04:29What is she going to say when I tell her I'm married?
01:04:35All right, ladies.
01:04:36Good job.
01:04:36That's it for tonight.
01:04:38Remember, this weekend's Mardi Gras.
01:04:40Have fun.
01:04:41But you know what to do if anybody messes with you.
01:04:43Nice work.
01:04:46Hi.
01:04:46Hungry?
01:04:51Yeah, so, um, today's class went super well.
01:04:54Uh, two new students.
01:04:56They really need to pick up on a lot of things.
01:04:58You're everything I've ever wanted.
01:04:59Everything I didn't even dare to dream.
01:05:02You're it for me.
01:05:03I can't lose you.
01:05:05Griffin, are you okay?
01:05:06Yeah, just some stuff for the campaign.
01:05:14I want to help.
01:05:16LaRoche can't win.
01:05:17He and Isabel are evil.
01:05:19We're the kind of man that people need.
01:05:21I can't imagine anyone else by myself.
01:05:23I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
01:05:27We will plan a siege that surrounds anything of all sides.
01:05:30That sounds amazing, Sean.
01:05:40Father?
01:05:41Father?
01:05:41I remember the two of you.
01:05:47You have it, lad.
01:05:48That special spark.
01:05:50I don't see it often in couples, but when I do, it makes an impression.
01:05:53You must be mistaken.
01:05:57This woman and I, we'd met that day.
01:05:59And you were already finishing each other's sentences.
01:06:01Dying to tie the knot.
01:06:02There was no stopping you.
01:06:04I was drunk.
01:06:05Drunk with love.
01:06:07The man I married knew what he was doing.
01:06:09I mean, how is this even legal?
01:06:11New Orleans has a 24-hour waiting period.
01:06:13Unless the judge waves it.
01:06:15Son of a bitch.
01:06:16Who was it?
01:06:17He was your best man.
01:06:19You called him Remy.
01:06:21Remy Cal.
01:06:22That 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.
01:06:36I don't care.
01:06:37I don't care.
01:06:38We need to know all the marriage now.
01:06:40I love my wife.
01:06:41You're in a bit of a pickle.
01:06:42Because in my book, you love Joe to wife as well.
01:06:50Sir.
01:06:51Mrs. Roy is in your office with Mr. Durand.
01:06:55Shelby.
01:07:00Griffin.
01:07:00This is the woman you've been looking for.
01:07:02This is Michelle Lane.
01:07:04Hi, Griffin.
01:07:07You 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.
01:07:20Since high school.
01:07:21And that really is your toddler?
01:07:23My baby girl, Fleur.
01:07:24She has no doubt this will be good for her.
01:07:31If I may ask, how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:34That is the least of your worries.
01:07:36All right.
01:07:37Chop, chop.
01:07:44Now, action.
01:07:47Hi, Griffin.
01:07:49You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:53It was Mardi Gras.
01:07:54We were completely wasted, and we ended up in some church with an Irish priest.
01:07:59We had a wild night at the hotel, and well, Fleur was the happy accident nine months later.
01:08:09It can't be true.
01:08:10I've never met you in my life.
01:08:13I mean, you were wearing masks.
01:08:14Yes, that's right.
01:08:15We were.
01:08:17By 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.
01:08:26It was a miracle.
01:08:28It's too much.
01:08:29She's losing him.
01:08:31Tone it down.
01:08:32Tone it down.
01:08:36Listen, lady, I don't know who you're trying to con with this act.
01:08:39Griffin, don't.
01:08:41But 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?
01:08:54No, she's not.
01:08:56We don't know.
01:08:58Which is it?
01:08:59You are my wife.
01:09:00Only you.
01:09:03I understand this is a lot to take in.
01:09:06Fleur and I will just go.
01:09:07I'll have my lawyer reach out.
01:09:09No.
01:09:09No lawyers.
01:09:11We don't need to involve any authorities.
01:09:13This can all be solved with a simple DNA test.
01:09:17Pierce, this woman is a fraud.
01:09:20Griffin, think about it.
01:09:21She says Fleur is your daughter.
01:09:23One little test and I'll prove if she's lying or not.
01:09:25We need to know, Griffin.
01:09:28I need to know.
01:09:31Fine.
01:09:32But I don't want these doubts to fester.
01:09:34We can rush the DNA results and get them back in a few hours.
01:09:37Might I suggest a more private setting?
01:09:40Less eyes.
01:09:42Understood.
01:09:42We can wait back in my house for the results to come.
01:09:52We've got them.
01:09:53You're up.

01:12:40how'd you know Shelby would leave him because of the kid
01:12:47Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people it's not in her nature to put herself first
01:12:52oh you're a scary woman
01:12:54I know
01:13:00hi darling thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
01:13:11so this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered
01:13:30I know
01:13:46my
01:13:47century
01:13:52the
01:13:54recent
01:13:57That's strange.
01:14:07I thought I heard something.
01:14:27It's like she was never here.
01:14:53Hey, mister.
01:14:54Will you marry me?
01:14:59She took everything but left this behind.
01:15:02Message received, Shelby.
01:15:14What the hell is this?
01:15:17I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain,
01:15:20but if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
01:15:25This place is insane.
01:15:27The owner must really trust you.
01:15:32Could it be?
01:15:33It's her.
01:15:46It's always been her.
01:15:50Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:53Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:55As soon as you saw the forged DNA test, it was a done deal.
01:15:58Who is she working for?
01:15:59How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby?
01:16:03Give me your name.
01:16:03Come on, just one name.
01:16:06Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close.
01:16:08I 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 her?
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.
01:16:42What is wrong with me?
01:16:47Help!
01:16:48Somebody help!
01:16:51Do you need some water?
01:16:54Oh, wait.
01:16:55I see you've already had some.
01:16:56You poisoned me?
01:16:59Why?
01:17:00Why?
01:17:02Why?
01:17:03Where to begin?
01:17:06Lingering high school issues.
01:17:08Offs.
01:17:09I'm helping Neville's campaign.
01:17:11Duh.
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,
01:17:24he'll have gone missing, vanished without a trace.
01:17:29He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:17:32Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body,
01:17:36suspicion will follow Griffin for the rest of his life.
01:17:39Any political future he may have had will be as dead as you.
01:17:43Nut.
01:17:45Back up.
01:17:47Married?
01:17:48Twice?
01:17:50Who's the...
01:17:51The woman and the little girl?
01:17:55Oh.
01:17:56Just 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,
01:18:02it's been you all along.
01:18:05You've been searching for each other all this time.
01:18:08But now he'll never find you.
01:18:10All right, boys.
01:18:13She's all yours.
01:18:18I told you I'd get you back.
01:18:28Miss Trudeau,
01:18:29why are you here?
01:18:30My daughter, my baby Cece.
01:18:33I'm scared she's gonna do something terrible.
01:18:36What do you mean, terrible?
01:18:37What's going on?
01:18:38I sold everything
01:18:40to get her out on bail
01:18:42and you...
01:18:43What does she do in return?
01:18:45She's...
01:18:45She's gone crazy.
01:18:47Stalking Shelby.
01:18:48She tailed her to some...
01:18:51hotel in the French corner.
01:18:54What hotel?
01:18:56Excuse me, sir.
01:18:57My sister's staying here,
01:18:59but I've forgotten her room number.
01:19:01It's Shelby Trudeau.
01:19:02Sorry, ma'am.
01:19:03We can't disclose any guest information.
01:19:08She'll be...
01:19:15Come out.
01:19:17Come out wherever you are.
01:19:19I think I'll do it with my bare hands.
01:19:30Makes it more personal.
01:19:32Actually, do me a favor.
01:19:35Leave a lot of marks
01:19:36on that base of hers.
01:19:39Fuck you.
01:19:40I want people to see
01:19:42that she suffered.
01:19:43A lot.
01:19:44Oh, trust me.
01:19:45She will.
01:19:47Come on.
01:19:48Let's get this party started.
01:19:49Look what you've done.
01:20:08Pansy-ass slap.
01:20:09She's stalling.
01:20:12And you're falling for it.
01:20:15Damn.
01:20:16Can't go to the valet
01:20:16smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:18I'll never give you her car keys.
01:20:21Shelby has clothes over there.
01:20:23Change.
01:20:24I'll take care of me.
01:20:26You go take care of her.
01:20:27I found it, Chris.
01:20:34Shelby Trudeau changed her name
01:20:36to Michelle Lane.
01:20:37It was after her parents divorced
01:20:39at her mother's request.
01:20:40She only returned to her original name
01:20:42after her mother passed
01:20:43three years ago.
01:20:47Starting to make sense now.
01:20:49It was harder on my mom.
01:20:51She didn't want anything to do with him,
01:20:53so I cut him off too.
01:20:54He even started using
01:20:56my mom's maiden name.
01:20:58She's the one you've been looking for.
01:21:00It's been her all this time.
01:21:01How could it be so blind?
01:21:04Of course it had to be Shelby.
01:21:05It had to be her.
01:21:07My heart knew
01:21:08what my brain couldn't see.
01:21:10I got it.
01:21:12Your girl's in room 801.
01:21:15Thanks, man.
01:21:16Now I can go save
01:21:17the love of my life.
01:21:24Too much to drink.
01:21:27It's great.
01:21:34Stop right there.
01:21:40Not 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, brah.
01:21:52What you've done here
01:21:53is aggravated assault.
01:21:55But if you leave
01:21:55this hotel with her,
01:21:57it's kidnapping.
01:21:58That is a federal crime.
01:22:00Don't bring in the FBI.
01:22:03Someone will have to be around
01:22:04to identify us.
01:22:05That sure as hell won't be you.
01:22:09Did you get all that, Pierce?
01:22:11Police are on their way.
01:22:12Hang in there, buddy.
01:22:15You're not getting out
01:22:16if you're alive, Roy.
01:22:17Roy.
01:22:17Roy.
01:22:17Roy.
01:22:22Give me my wife right now!
01:22:37Ćst going south.
01:22:42Ah.
01:22:46Ah!
01:22:46Ah.
01:22:47Ah!
01:22:50Ah.
01:22:54Shelbi.
01:22:55You alright?
01:22:56No.
01:22:58You understand?
01:23:00Ah!
01:23:02Ah!
01:23:03Ah!
01:23:04Ah!
01:23:05Grif, my God.
01:23:32Do you need medical attention?
01:23:33No.
01:23:35But they do.
01:23:40I guess I renewed my man card.
01:23:46Sure did, honey.
01:23:48Fucked him up real good.
01:23:50Oh, Lord.
01:23:52Please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:23:56Shelby!
01:23:57You little bitch!
01:23:58Didn't I say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:24:11What?
01:24:12That's not Shelby!
01:24:14Put your hands up where I can see him.
01:24:18This is the last one.
01:24:19Hey, hey, hey.
01:24:20I want to make a deal.
01:24:21What do you have to offer up?
01:24:22Congressman Neville LaRoche.
01:24:23I'm all ears.
01:24:25Is it really over?
01:24:26Yeah, it is.
01:24:27Griffin, Isabel said something and I want to believe it, but three years ago, did we?
01:24:33You left us.
01:24:34You left us.
01:24:35It's true.
01:24:36I can't believe I finally found you.
01:24:37You left us.
01:24:46You left us.
01:24:51It's true.
01:25:01It's true.
01:25:04I 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?
01:25:30It'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 a mask on, but he's not going to want you with it off.
01:25:48Look, you both have a great memory now.
01:25:51But you'll look back and you'll see that you're just the clueless chick who didn't know the score.
01:25:56You'll embarrass yourself.
01:25:59And more importantly, you'll embarrass him.
01:26:06I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:26:09I'm sorry I let her get to me.
01:26:12But to be honest, what we had seemed too good to be true.
01:26:16How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:26:20Exactly.
01:26:24But I did.
01:26:25They 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.
01:26:35I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:26:39Shelby.
01:26:41Will you?
01:26:42Yes, Griffin Roy.
01:26:47I will always love you.
01:26:50In this life or the next.
01:26:55To be continued.
01:26:56To be continued.
01:26:57To be continued.

01:26:59Where are you?
