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.
00:06:50Griffin Roy.
00:07:10And congratulations, you lovebirds.
00:07:13This isn't over tell her
00:07:31Sergeant
00:07:32Mrs. Roy, you have to stay married for at least one full year
00:07:37Or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister
00:07:41You hear that, Shelby? You won't last a week with that hobo
00:07:56I 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 and I have the money we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job
00:08:07When most people get what they wanted, they usually just walk away
00:08:11Well, I'm not most people
00:08:14I see that
00:08:22I gotta return this
00:08:25Goodbye for now
00:08:28Goodbye, wife
00:08:29Goodbye, wife
00:08:43Where the hell have you been?
00:08:44I gotcha
00:08:45Seriously, this is over the top even for you
00:08:50This DNA
00:08:51Get it to Detective Mitch Wayne right away
00:08:53Look, as your campaign manager
00:08:55I need you to be
00:08:56More focused on your image, okay?
00:08:57You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving
00:08:58Look, as your campaign manager, I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:09:02You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving
00:09:16It's just 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.
00:09:38This, 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.
00:09:46That's not 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.
00:10:03But 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.
00:10:17Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:10:32It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:10:34Alright guys, that's class.
00:10:37Nice work.
00:10:43So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:10:47I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:10:51Who knows how many other women he's done this to?
00:10:53So I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place and confront me 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.
00:11:11We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:23What's your name?
00:11:32I'm Stephanie.
00:11:34How about a drink, huh?
00:11:35Oh, that's okay.
00:11:36Come on.
00:11:37One little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:39Okay, one drink.
00:11:41Really, Pierce?
00:11:42This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:11:45You wanna beat LaRoche?
00:11:47You gotta mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:11:53I 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.
00:12:10That...
00:12:14That creep.
00:12:17You dickless loser.
00:12:23I'm drugging 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.
00:12:55Hmm.
00:12:56Ladies!
00:12:57Andre Ivanov 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.
00:13:15She can't know who I am yet.
00:13:22Do you know who I am?
00:13:24I don't care.
00:13:30Where did she come from?
00:13:32That's my wife.
00:13:33Isn't she amazing?
00:13:35And she's gonna 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?
00:13:40And put that ninja shit on me?
00:13:42You...
00:13:43Are one dead bitch.
00:13:55Nice.
00:13:56Did you see that combo?
00:13:57Dude, she can fight.
00:13:58Look at her form, man.
00:14:04She can really fight, man.
00:14:05You are hopeless.
00:14:08Hey!
00:14:10Swap me jackets.
00:14:11I'll give you my Rolex.
00:14:12OK.
00:14:13They'll kill you.
00:14:18Alright.
00:14:19Help frontline.
00:14:20Nope.
00:14:21Buzz.
00:14:25Mm-hmm.
00:14:28Elle由 Roper
00:14:37I do everything I can to end you!
00:14:39We should get out of here.
00:14:45Get him!
00:14:47You lied to me.
00:14:49You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:51When did I say I was homeless?
00:14:53You were next to a dumpster. That's not much of a leap.
00:14:55What were you doing at this party?
00:14:57Work in the room.
00:14:59Oh, thought you were one of those
00:15:01asshole rich guys.
00:15:03I'm sorry, I 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.
00:15:11My place is nearby.
00:15:13I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
00:15:15Wow. A wife who cooks
00:15:17and kicks ass.
00:15:19I'm one lucky man.
00:15:21Don't push it.
00:15:31Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:37This is nice.
00:15:39I haven't had a home cooked meal in a long time.
00:15:41It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.
00:15:43How long were you in the military?
00:15:45Seven years.
00:15:47I joined right after high school.
00:15:49My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.
00:15:51You weren't close with your father?
00:15:55I was. He was my hero.
00:15:57Until he wasn't.
00:15:59He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:16:01He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
00:16:05It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:16:07That must have been really hard for you.
00:16:11It was harder on my mom.
00:16:13She didn't want anything to do with him so I cut him off too.
00:16:15Even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:16:17But then three years ago he reached out.
00:16:19Told me he was sick.
00:16:21So I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:16:23Here I am.
00:16:25Here you are.
00:16:27Enough about me.
00:16:29What's your story Griffin Roy?
00:16:31Oh.
00:16:33Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:16:35We know you're in there Shelby.
00:16:37The light is on.
00:16:39We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:41We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:43Hey.
00:16:45I'll handle this.
00:16:51Oh.
00:16:53I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling.
00:16:55But it's just you two.
00:16:57And you are?
00:16:58That's the homeless guy that she only married.
00:17:00What are you doing here?
00:17:02Why wouldn't Griffin be here?
00:17:03He's my husband after all.
00:17:05Mama, what are we going to do?
00:17:07We need to challenge the will.
00:17:08But how can we do that if they're still together?
00:17:10Shut up, Cece.
00:17:11Oh.
00:17:12I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:17:15How pathetic.
00:17:16And pointless.
00:17:17Look how in love we are.
00:17:19I'm going to look back.
00:17:21Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:17:25Right.
00:17:26We're going to shred that will and your shame of marriage in no time.
00:17:29Margo and Cece are going to be a problem.
00:17:42There's no way they'll let us be.
00:17:44What if we moved in together?
00:17:47You want to live here?
00:17:49No.
00:17:50Somewhere with better security.
00:17:52Like my place.
00:17:54Sure.
00:17:55I'm dying to see where you live.
00:18:04So let me get this straight.
00:18:05You told her your house sitting?
00:18:07That's right.
00:18:08Said I was going to watch the house while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:18:12You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:15Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:21I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.
00:18:24That's very flattering but you don't know anything about me.
00:18:27I know you take my breath away.
00:18:29And 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.
00:18:44I'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.
00:19:07Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:19:09A lot of people know who you are.
00:19:11How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:19:14I don't know.
00:19:15But 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.
00:19:50This place is insane.
00:19:55The owner must really trust you.
00:19:58Yep.
00:19:59We're pretty tight.
00:20:01Here, let me show you to your room.
00:20:09I can't keep living in the past.
00:20:12Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:20:20Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:20:30I take it things are going well with Xena Warrior Princess.
00:20:33Oh, she's so exciting and competitive.
00:20:35Keeps me on my toes.
00:20:37I'm so damn beautiful.
00:20:39Face sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
00:20:41Well, 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.
00:20:48Dial it back.
00:20:49Dial it back, Pierce.
00:20:50We're in the early stages.
00:20:51All right.
00:20:52Well, don't take too long.
00:20:53You 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.
00:21:09Good.
00:21:10Hey.
00:21:16I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:21:18Ooh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:20Get your mind out of the gutter, 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.
00:21:33So this is where you've been hiding now.
00:21:45Did you want some of wine?
00:21:57I turned off your alarm.
00:21:58You obviously needed to sleep.
00:21:59I turned off your alarm.
00:22:12You obviously needed to sleep.
00:22:13We can run tonight.
00:22:14P.S.
00:22:15You snore.
00:22:16But it's super cute.
00:22:17I do not snore, Griffin-Roy.
00:22:18Griffin-Roy.
00:22:20I do not snore, Griffin-Roy.
00:22:22I do not snore, Griffin-Roy.
00:22:24You shouldn't have eaten.
00:22:25I don't even need to have to dance.
00:22:27I know.
00:22:28Well, we throw the ball out.
00:22:30What?
00:22:31I love your trip.
00:22:33I beat you.
00:22:36I love you, Griffin-Roy.
00:22:39Oh, I love you.
00:22:41I love you, Griffin-Roy.
00:22:42We love you.
00:22:46I love you, Griffin-Roy.
00:22:47What 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. We'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. Now!
00:23:10What the hell are you doing?
00:23:12Just routine inspection.
00:23:14Let's see what else you're hiding here.
00:23:25Get your filthy hands off my wife!
00:23:28What?
00:23:34Oh, cool. I thought I was saving you, but it looks like you got it.
00:23:39Oh, look out!
00:23:44Damn, lady. You make it look easy.
00:23:48Are you hurt?
00:23:49Just my pride.
00:23:53Yeah, 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.
00:24:03I 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,
00:24:39and now my money's wasted, and she got 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.
00:25:19Cougars, they're saber-tooth tigers.
00:25:26Well, then we just got to make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25:36You 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.
00:25:45What?
00:25:49Did I just hand in my man card?
00:25:52No, 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,
00:26:10and 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.
00:26:20Okay.
00:26:32Fair is fair.
00:26:34I owe you one.
00:26:35Sorry.
00:26:55I know we're just pretending.
00:26:58Right.
00:27:00Pretending.
00:27:02No.
00:27:03I'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!
00:27:21Fuck!
00:27:21Fuck!
00:27:33Griffin 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?
00:27:47I 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!
00:28:06You!
00:28:06We 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?
00:28:34Eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:35So you want me to divorce Shelby and marry Victoria Wilcox, the shithouse billionaire?
00:28:47You 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.
00:28:57Well, he'll do.
00:29:00Oh, he'll do just nicely.
00:29:08Wait a minute.
00:29:10Have we met before because you look real familiar?
00:29:14Oh, no.
00:29:16Nope, I don't think I run in your kinds of circles, Ms. 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 to 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.
00:29:45Mm, mm.
00:29:46Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:29:53Mm.
00:29:53I don't understand.
00:30:00This says...
00:30:01You're under arrest for pandering.
00:30:05Detective 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, 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.
00:30:39Um, I'm about 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 that 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.
00:31:02It's Roy.
00:31:09Well, I knew you looked familiar to see it, but I'm just an old woman.
00:31:14You could forgive me.
00:31:16Get out of my face.
00:31:21Pardon.
00:31:22Excuse me.
00:31:25All right, we got her in the car.
00:31:27How far do you want this to go?
00:31:28Put the fear of God in there.
00:31:31Mugshot, fingerprints.
00:31:32Dorks.
00:31:33Then in the morning, drop the charges before the press gets wet.
00:31:37Here, so to have your hide.
00:31:39You got it, Griff.
00:31:51Where have you been?
00:31:54I was worried you were gone so long.
00:31:56Yeah?
00:31:57Yeah.
00:31:59Uh, 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.
00:32:10My poor baby, my little girl.
00:32:24Oh, I will never forget the humiliation that 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 in that cold, hard cell.
00:32:37If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby, fine.
00:32:40We'll just force Shelby to divorce him.
00:32:43And I know just where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:46He's amazing.
00:32:48He's amazing.
00:32:50I think we shaved 30 seconds off that time.
00:33:08I thought I was competitive.
00:33:10You even compete with yourself.
00:33:11You're not growing.
00:33:22You're dying.
00:33:24I, um...
00:33:26I'm gonna 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 decide to activate it.
00:34:18Who the hell is they?
00:34:21No.
00:34:22That would be us.
00:34:28If we can take it from here.
00:34:30Sure thing.
00:34:31Pleasure doing business with you, 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.
00:34:42Get a divorce, give up your inheritance,
00:34:45and then you can keep your dinky, smelly gym.
00:34:49Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:34:50I 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.
00:35:05The building is now closed for renovations,
00:35:09and everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:13Of 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.
00:35:24You 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.
00:36:03I'm not here because I give a damn if you win.
00:36:15I'm here to make sure that Grif 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.
00:36:58Just 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.
00:37:16Griffin.
00:37:17We need to talk.
00:37:25Shelby?
00:37:26What's going on?
00:37:26You sounded tense on the phone.
00:37:29I 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.
00:37:41You first.
00:37:42You first.
00:37:54You first.
00:37:54You first.
00:38:20I don't want you to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going to be another moment that I'm going
00:38:50that was
00:39:03fucking amazing
00:39:05Griffin where are you going
00:39:18Griffin
00:39:19Griffin
00:39:21explain yourself
00:39:25toothbrush
00:39:26PJs
00:39:30this is Jacques
00:39:32why
00:39:34you're my wife
00:39:35I sleep with you now
00:39:37we probably should have talked this through
00:39:39yeah
00:39:40you said you had missed moments
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
00:41:07Cece, 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.
00:41:56How 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.
00:44:13I 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.
00:44:32Are 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.
00:44:46Cece 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, 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!
00:45:03No, you can't take my girl!
00:45:04No, 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.
00:45:09You're mine!
00:45:18Zara?
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 shouldn't 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 La Roche 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 La Roche is going to find out and beat us to it.
00:46:09Okay.
00:46:10I'll tell her.
00:46:12I just...
00:46:14I 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.
00:46:34So she's 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.
00:46:56It was 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.
00:47:10Touche, 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.
00:47:49It's cooling off.
00:47:51You should go inside.
00:47:53Just a few more minutes.
00:47:54I can'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.
00:48:05Before the divorce, the cheating, mom getting sick.
00:48:09I was carefree then.
00:48:12I 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.
00:48:23I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:48:25It'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.
00:49:04Oh shit, Isabel, the 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, Michelle, 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.
00:49:46I was a mean girl in high school, and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:49:50What you've built here is so empowering.
00:49:53If I had had something like this green 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.
00:50:21This 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.
00:50:32Yeah!
00:50:40Griffin 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.
00:50:54Uh, I gotta call you back.
00:50:55LaRoche knows about Shelby.
00:51:06He sicked Isabel longer.
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.
00:51:36All 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.
00:53:09What's this about?
00:53:18What's this about?
00:53:19I spoke with your stepmother.
00:53:21Margo.
00:53:23She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:26It seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bum.
00:53:29On the streets.
00:53:30And actually,
00:53:32well, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:53:35I can't believe you fell for that.
00:53:37And not 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,
00:53:48he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:53:51When the press arrives,
00:53:53you will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana
00:53:56so that they may know
00:53:58what kind of man Roy really is.
00:54:07Hey, I got it now.
00:54:14Let 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.
00:54:24Come 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.
00:54:46I've got all of your charm.
00:54:47It's just a lie.
00:54:48I 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.
00:54:59Why 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.
00:55:08Get away from my house.
00:55:10This is technically my home.
00:55:12How sitting my ass.
00:55:16You are the worst, and I never want to see you again.
00:55:21Shelby.
00:55:28Professional candidate Griffin Roy has a secret bride.
00:55:31Our reporter is...
00:55:32Oh!
00:55:34Oh!
00:55:40Oh!
00:55:42Oh!
00:55:48Oh.
00:55:58Oh, God.
00:56:01Oh!
00:56:01Oh.
00:56:02Oh.
00:56:02Oh.
00:56:02Oh.
00:56:02You got to get a sip of that?
00:56:28This is private property?
00:56:31Which I own.
00:56:32Liar.
00:56:33Pierce Durand owns this building.
00:56:35He works for me.
00:56:37Then I'll move.
00:56:38I don't want to owe you anything.
00:56:53Oh, Shelby, Shelby, come out, would you please?
00:56:59I wake up in the morning and reach for you.
00:57:02But you're not there.
00:57:11I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
00:57:14Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:21You're ridiculous.
00:57:22You do know that, don't you?
00:57:24Oh, Shelby, Shelby.
00:57:26Don't leave me hanging.
00:57:28What are you doing?
00:57:29You're supposed to turn it on.
00:57:32Yeah.
00:57:32I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:36It's broken.
00:57:37Guy 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.
00:57:49Fine.
00:57:53Come in, you fool.
00:57:55Yeah, I'll come into my own house.
00:57:58You have two minutes.
00:58:10Growing up as a Roy, no one ever liked me for me.
00:58:16It's always been about the money, the excess.
00:58:23Then, at a moment, three years ago, where someone did, like me, for me.
00:58:32They 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, I didn't think.
00:58:50I 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.
00:59:16But 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.
00:59:29Bitch, 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.
00:59:54You think too much.
01:00:00Time for makeup sex.
01:00:06So, that's makeup sex.
01:00:10Yeah.
01:00:14Griffin, it hurts so much thinking we were over.
01:00:17I know.
01:00:18I never want to feel like that again.
01:00:22I promise not to let anything get in between us.
01:00:31This 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.
01:00:38I 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?
01:01:05Seriously?
01:01:08That's all you have to say?
01:01:12Come on.
01:01:18How 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 quit 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.
01:01:43Michelle 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.
01:01:55I 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.
01:02:00The priest signed and completed the marriage certificate.
01:02:04Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:02:06Right now, pronounce he man and wife.
01:02:13The masked girl from Wartigrew.
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.
01:02:28What am I going to tell her?
01:02:30Look, it could still be one big mistake.
01:02:33I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:42I have something for you.
01:02:43I 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 before 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.
01:03:14That'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.
01:03:49This 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.
01:04:00What they don't know can definitely hurt them.
01:04:03And right now, to Griffin Roy, Michelle Lane could be anybody.
01:04:11You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear.
01:04:14Who?
01:04:18Well, we have a very limited window to make this work.
01:04:23We will hit hard, but fast.
01:04:25What is she going to say when I tell her I'm married?
01:04:35Alright, 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.
01:04:44Nice work.
01:04:46Hi.
01:04:48Hungry?
01:04:48Yeah, so, um, today's class went super well.
01:04:54Uh, two new students.
01:04:56They really used 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?
01:05:09Yeah.
01:05:10Just some stuff for the campaign.
01:05:12I want to help.
01:05:16LaRoche can't win.
01:05:18He and Isabel are evil.
01:05:19We're the kind of men that people need.
01:05:21I can't imagine anyone else by myself.
01:05:24I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
01:05:27We will plan a siege that surrounds anything of all sides.
01:05:31That sounds amazing, y'all.
01:05:40Father?
01:05:42I remember the two of you.
01:05:47You had 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.
01:05:54You must be mistaken.
01:05:56This 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.
01:06:03I 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?
01:06:10New 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.
01:06:23No 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.
01:06:42Well, because in my book, you love Joe to wife as well.
01:06:50Sir, Mrs. 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.
01:07:04Hi, 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.
01:07:25This will be good for her.
01:07:26If I may ask, how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:34That is the least of your worries.
01:07:37All 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.
01:08:11I'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.
01:08:19I'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.
01:08:40But 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.
01:09:01I 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.
01:09:10No 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 that'll prove if she's lying or not.
01:09:26We need to know, Griffin.
01:09:28I need to know.
01:09:29Fine.
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.
01:09:41Understood.
01:09:43We can wait back at my house for the results to come.
01:09:52We've got them.
01:09:53You're up.
01:09:59You could.
01:10:26Don't.
01:10:28Just don't.
01:10:30Shelby, go upstairs.
01:10:32She fed them snacks and then locked herself in the guest room.
01:10:38I can't lose her, Pierce.
01:10:41I won't.
01:10:52Moment of truth, buddy.
01:10:53Fleur, meet your daddy.
01:11:12Fleur, meet your daddy.
01:11:16I will, of course, provide for you both financially.
01:11:23Fleur doesn't need a checkbook.
01:11:24She needs a father.
01:11:25Ssss.
01:11:26What do you want?
01:11:43The guest bedroom is empty.
01:11:44You and Fleur can stay there.
01:11:50Shelby, just don't do this.
01:11:55Just give me some time.
01:11:57I can fix it.
01:11:58This isn't something you fix.
01:12:01You can't be legally married to two women at the same time and you have a child with one of them.
01:12:08We need to get a divorce.
01:12:09She's right, Griff.
01:12:15Griffin, you have a daughter now.
01:12:17You're a father and you have to put your child first.
01:12:21You can't be, Marco.
01:12:23I won't do that to another little girl.
01:12:27I mean, I've spent my whole life looking for you.
01:12:30How can I let you go?
01:12:39Sometimes love isn't enough.
01:12:45How'd you know Shelby would leave him because of the kid?
01:12:47Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people.
01:12:50It's not her nature to put herself first.
01:12:52Oh, you're a scary woman.
01:12:55I know.
01:12:56I know.
01:13:00I know.
01:13:01I know you're a child that you don't.
01:13:03We've been expecting.
01:13:04It's true.
01:13:11So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered?
01:13:14How old are you?
01:13:36How old are you?
01:13:36How old are you?
01:13:36How old are you?
01:13:37How old are you?
01:13:37How old are you?
01:13:38How old are you?
01:13:38I'm sure you're old.
01:13:39I can't do this.
01:13:39I can't work.
01:13:40I can't wait arre contre it.
01:13:41I can't ask you.
01:13:43It's awesome.
01:13:44That's strange.
01:14:07I thought I heard something.
01:14:14It's like she was never here.
01:14:44She took everything but left this behind.
01:15:02Message received, Shelby.
01:15:04What the hell is this?
01:15:17I 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.
01:15:25This place is insane.
01:15:27The owner must really trust you.
01:15:28Could it be?
01:15:45It's her.
01:15:46It's always been her.
01:15:47Yeah, 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.
01:16:05Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close.
01:16:08I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead.
01:16:10Where 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.
01:16:19I will have you put away for the rest of your life and 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.
01:16:27I swear.
01:16:40What is wrong with me?
01:16:47Help!
01:16:49Somebody help!
01:16:51Do you need some water?
01:16:54Oh wait, I see you've already had some.
01:16:57You poisoned me?
01:16:59Why?
01:16:59Why?
01:17:00Why?
01:17:02Why?
01:17:03Where to begin?
01:17:07Mingering high school issues, offs.
01:17:09I'm helping Neville's campaign, duh.
01:17:12But the real reason, the one that cuts deep, is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist.
01:17:20By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice, he'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 twice?
01:17:48Who's the woman and the little girl?
01:17:55Oh, just some cheap whore I hired to tell your husband that they've been married for the past three years.
01:18:01When really, it's been you all along.
01:18:05You've been searching for each other all this time, but 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.
01:18:22Miss Trudeau, why are you here?
01:18:30My daughter, my baby Cece, I'm scared she's going to do something terrible.
01:18:36What do you mean, terrible?
01:18:37What's going on?
01:18:38I sold everything to get her out on bail and you, what does she do in return?
01:18:44She's going crazy, stalking Shelby.
01:18:48She tailed her to some hotel in a 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.
01:19:03We can't disclose any guest information.
01:19:05Shelby, come out, come out, wherever you are.
01:19:28I think I'll do it with my bare hands.
01:19:30Makes it more personal.
01:19:34Actually, 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 a lot.
01:19:44Oh, trust me.
01:19:45She will.
01:19:47Come on, let's get this party started.
01:20:04Look what you've done.
01:20:05Pansy-ass slap.
01:20:11She's stalling, and you're falling for it.
01:20:15Damn.
01:20:16Can't go to the valet smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:18I'll never give you her car keys.
01:20:21Shelby has clothes over there.
01:20:23James.
01:20:24I'll take care of me.
01:20:26You go take care of her.
01:20:27Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Lane.
01:20:37It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request.
01:20:40She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago.
01:20:44It's starting to make sense now.
01:20:50It was harder on my mom.
01:20:51She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too.
01:20:55He even started using my 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 I be so blind?
01:21:04Of course it had to be Shelby.
01:21:05It had to be her.
01:21:06My heart knew what 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'm going to go save the love of my life.
01:21:25Too much to drink.
01:21:27Too much.
01:21:34Stop right there.
01:21:36Not so fast.
01:21:44Griffin fucking Roy.
01:21:46Finally joined the party.
01:21:48I'm here for my wife.
01:21:50Not going to happen, brah.
01:21:52What you've done here is aggravated assault.
01:21:55But if you leave this hotel with her, it'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 to 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 of here alive, Roy.
01:22:17Give me my wife right now!
01:22:37It's called Bolness.
01:22:51Get out of here here.
01:22:52Tell us about that.
01:22:58You're not getting out of here.
01:22:59I back
01:23:07but
01:23:08last
01:23:09stop
01:23:19the
01:23:23now
01:23:26Grif, 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.
01:23:49Fucked him up real good.
01:23:52Oh lord, please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:23:56Oh lord, please tell me there's something other than fatigues and 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.
01:24:24This is the last one.
01:24:25Hey, hey, hey, hey.
01:24:26I want to make a deal.
01:24:28What 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 three 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.
01:25:44Sure, he may have liked you with a 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.
01:26:09I'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.
01:26:21But I did.
01:26:26And I do.
01:26:27Where do we go from here?
01:26:30Married twice.
01:26:31Deeply in love.
01:26:33Risked our lives to save each other.
01:26:35I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:26:40Shelby, will you?
01:26:42Yes, Griffin Roy.
01:26:47I will always love you.
01:26:50In this life of the next.
01:27:05Everything.
01:27:10Every part of me, I'm yours.
