Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I'm bored.
00:00:11According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau,
00:00:17must be married by five o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:22That unladylike girl is not my daughter.
00:00:25Bad enough, I'm her stepmother.
00:00:27Hi, and hello. We want Shelby to no-show. That's the way we get everything.
00:00:44I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau. I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:48Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister. I'm dressed in your old uniform.
00:00:53Pathetic. Still trying to play hero.
00:00:55I'm in the Army Reserve now, Cece. I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:01:01The will, please.
00:01:03Oh, the Army Reserve.
00:01:06Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier. No one would have missed you.
00:01:10Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:01:14Look, you don't have to respect me, but don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on the battlefield.
00:01:19God, look around, Cece. Your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:01:24Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
00:01:28You have freedom and peace because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:01:32Of course. The will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:01:42And I want to thank you for your service.
00:01:44Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours only if signed by both you and your spouse.
00:01:57That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:02:01Tick tock.
00:02:01Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:02:15Give up your inheritance and I'll give you 1%.
00:02:18Better than nothing.
00:02:21You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:02:24You will not take what he left me.
00:02:26And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.
00:02:31Really, Shelby?
00:02:34Who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:02:36The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:02:54Don't. Keep the mystery.
00:02:59You've already lost, Shelby.
00:03:01Take the 1% I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:03:05Right.
00:03:05You're not even going to find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:03:11Watch me.
00:03:15Watch me.
00:03:16Watch me.
00:03:16Don't worry.
00:03:31Don't worry.
00:03:37He looks single.
00:03:39Oh, my God.
00:03:40This is totally food bar.
00:03:43Suck it up, soldier.
00:03:45You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:03:50Hey, mister.
00:03:52Will you marry me?
00:03:54I know this sounds crazy, and there's no time to explain, but if you help me, I promise
00:04:07a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
00:04:10Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:04:12So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:04:14Do I look like a homeless person there?
00:04:16Priceless.
00:04:19Shelby Trudeau!
00:04:20Are you one sign?
00:04:22You can't marry this...
00:04:24palpable?
00:04:26Shelby Trudeau.
00:04:28The late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:04:31That's right.
00:04:32The judge said she was a soldier.
00:04:34He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:04:36Here's a few bucks.
00:04:38Take it and get lost.
00:04:40Don't meddle in our business.
00:04:41Don't speak to him like that.
00:04:43He's a person with feelings.
00:04:46The Cinderella tale.
00:04:48Complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister.
00:04:51It's clear who deserves my help.
00:04:54And the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:04:56All right.
00:04:57Let's get married.
00:05:05Names for the marriage certificate?
00:05:15Shelby Trudeau.
00:05:18And your name is?
00:05:21Griffin Roy.
00:05:21Okay.
00:05:35And congratulations, you lovebirds.
00:05:54This isn't over.
00:05:56Tell her!
00:06:03Sergeant Trudeau.
00:06:04Mrs. Roy.
00:06:05You have to stay married for at least one full year.
00:06:10Or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.
00:06:13You hear that, Shelby?
00:06:15You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:06:21Come on.
00:06:27I guess we'll need to keep in touch.
00:06:30But you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:06:33Once the estate gets settled and I have the money, we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job.
00:06:40When most people get what they wanted, they usually just walk away.
00:06:44Well, I'm not most people.
00:06:47I see that.
00:06:48I got to return this.
00:06:56Goodbye for now.
00:07:01Goodbye, wife.
00:07:02Where the hell have you been?
00:07:15Where the hell have you been?
00:07:16Got you.
00:07:31Got you.
00:07:33Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:07:36This DNA, get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:07:41Look, as your campaign manager, I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:07:47You'll never catch LaRose dumpster diving.
00:07:49Marrying Isabelle was the best decision of my life.
00:07:58You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago, you got a package deal.
00:08:04Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor, playboy lawyer, the best.
00:08:10This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:08:13In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women who want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:08:19Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:08:23It's not just some girl.
00:08:24We had a connection.
00:08:27Never had that before.
00:08:34Look, I got to run.
00:08:36But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
00:08:39Someone real.
00:08:41Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:09:01Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:09:04It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:09:07All right, guys.
00:09:08Let's class.
00:09:09Nice work.
00:09:16So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:09:18I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:09:23Who knows how many other women he's done this to?
00:09:26So I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place and confront me in person.
00:09:33What's holding you back?
00:09:34Andre's some regular guy, Shelby.
00:09:36He's got a bro pack.
00:09:38These men are like wolves with money.
00:09:41Let's go.
00:09:41Let's go.
00:09:42We'll face this douchebag together.
00:09:44What's your name?
00:09:47What's your name?
00:09:48I'm Stephanie.
00:09:49How about a drink, huh?
00:10:07Oh, that's okay.
00:10:08Come on.
00:10:09One little drink won't do no harm.
00:10:11Okay, one drink.
00:10:12Really, Pierce?
00:10:13This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:10:16You want to beat LaRoche?
00:10:18You got to mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andre's.
00:10:21I can't believe I slept with that.
00:10:30What was I thinking?
00:10:32I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:10:34I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
00:10:38It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
00:10:45Thanks.
00:10:46That creep.
00:10:47You dickless loser.
00:10:58Drugging girls to get laid.
00:11:00What the fuck?
00:11:01Get out of my house, skank.
00:11:04I'm the skank?
00:11:05That's funny.
00:11:06You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:11:08Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:11:12Unless you're back for more, I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:11:15You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:11:18I just told you that you have chlamydia and you...
00:11:21Oh, my God.
00:11:22You already know you have it.
00:11:25And you don't care.
00:11:27Ladies!
00:11:29Andre Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
00:11:32What is she doing here?
00:11:40Both of you, get out of here.
00:11:46Oh, shit.
00:11:48She can't know who I am yet.
00:11:54Do you know who I am?
00:11:55I don't care.
00:11:56Where did she come from?
00:12:03That's my wife.
00:12:05Isn't she amazing?
00:12:05And she's gonna cost you Andre once he finds out you're married to her?
00:12:08I don't care.
00:12:09You think you can crash my party and put that ninja shit on me?
00:12:14You are one dead bitch.
00:12:16Oh, nice.
00:12:28Did you see that combo?
00:12:29Dude, she can fight.
00:12:30Look at her form, man.
00:12:36She can really fight, man.
00:12:38You are hopeless.
00:12:40Hey.
00:12:41Swap me jackets.
00:12:42I'll give you my Rolex.
00:12:43I'll give you my Rolex.
00:12:46Fuck you, Roy.
00:13:08I'll do everything I can to end you.
00:13:10We should get out of here.
00:13:11Yeah, yeah.
00:13:12Come on.
00:13:13Huh?
00:13:16Get him!
00:13:19You lied to me.
00:13:20You're not some homeless guy.
00:13:22Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
00:13:24You were next to a dumpster.
00:13:26That's not much of a leap.
00:13:27What were you doing at this party?
00:13:29Work in the room.
00:13:30Oh.
00:13:31Thought you were one of those asshole rich guys.
00:13:35I'm sorry.
00:13:35I hope I didn't cost you your job.
00:13:38I know how you can make it up to me.
00:13:40Have dinner with me.
00:13:41Okay.
00:13:41My place is nearby.
00:13:45I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
00:13:47Wow.
00:13:48A wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:13:50I'm one lucky man.
00:13:52Don't push it.
00:14:02Hey, dinner's ready.
00:14:03This is nice.
00:14:09I haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time.
00:14:13It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.
00:14:15How long were you in the military?
00:14:16Seven years.
00:14:18I joined right after high school.
00:14:20My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.
00:14:23You weren't close with your father?
00:14:26I was.
00:14:27He was my hero.
00:14:28Um, until he wasn't, he cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:14:34He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
00:14:37It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:14:40That must have been really hard for you.
00:14:43It was harder on my mom.
00:14:45She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too.
00:14:48Even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:14:50But then three years ago, he reached out, told me he was sick,
00:14:52so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:14:55Here I am.
00:14:56Here you are.
00:14:58Uh, enough about me.
00:15:00What's your story, Griffin Roy?
00:15:03Oh.
00:15:05Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:15:07We know you're in there, Shelby.
00:15:09The light is on.
00:15:10We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:15:13We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:15:16Hey.
00:15:17I'll handle this.
00:15:18Oh, I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling, but it's just you two.
00:15:28And you are?
00:15:29That's a homeless guy.
00:15:30They should help me married.
00:15:31What are you doing here?
00:15:33Why wouldn't Griffin be here?
00:15:35He's my husband, after all.
00:15:37Oh, Mama, what are we going to do?
00:15:39We need to challenge the will, but how can we do that if they're still together?
00:15:41Shut up, Cece.
00:15:43Oh, I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:15:47How pathetic and pointless.
00:15:49Look how in love we are.
00:15:50So I look back.
00:15:54Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:15:57Right.
00:15:58We're going to shred that will and your shame of marriage in no time.
00:16:11Margo and Cece are going to be a problem.
00:16:13There's no way they'll let us be.
00:16:15What if we moved in together?
00:16:18You want to live here?
00:16:20No, somewhere with better security, like my place.
00:16:26Sure.
00:16:28I'm dying to see where you live.
00:16:35So let me get this straight.
00:16:36You told her you're house-sitting?
00:16:39That's right.
00:16:39Said I was going to watch the house while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:16:43You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:16:46Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:16:50I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.
00:16:55That's very flattering, but you don't know anything about me.
00:16:57I know you take my breath away.
00:17:00And I know that I would wonder for the rest of my life if I didn't take this chance, even if it was only for one night.
00:17:06Maybe it's better this way.
00:17:08Maybe it's better this way.
00:17:09No names, no past.
00:17:13We can just be ourselves.
00:17:14I'd like that very much.
00:17:15The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
00:17:21She liked me for me.
00:17:23And I want that again, Pierce.
00:17:25Even for a little while.
00:17:35Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.
00:17:38Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:17:40A lot of people know who you are.
00:17:42How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:17:45I don't know.
00:17:46But I have a chance to be with someone without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
00:17:51Well, just remember, we're about to launch a multi-platform campaign.
00:17:55In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboards, your face is about to be everywhere.
00:18:02Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.
00:18:05This place is insane.
00:18:26The owner must really trust you.
00:18:29Yep.
00:18:30We're pretty tight.
00:18:32Here, let me show you to your room.
00:18:35I can't keep living in the past.
00:18:43Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:18:53Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:18:54I take it things are going well with Xena Warrior Princess.
00:19:03Oh, she's so exciting and competitive.
00:19:05Keeps me on my toes.
00:19:07I'm so damn beautiful.
00:19:09Face, sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
00:19:12Well, when do I get to meet her?
00:19:13Her military background and work with actress women will be a real asset for both female and male voters.
00:19:18Dial it back, Pierce.
00:19:20We're in the early stages.
00:19:22All right.
00:19:22Well, don't take too long.
00:19:24You married her for the campaign.
00:19:26And it's not like she can dump you once she finds out.
00:19:29She needs you for her inheritance.
00:19:30Good.
00:19:46Hey.
00:19:47I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:19:48Ooh, I like the sound of that.
00:19:50Get your mind out of the gutter, woman.
00:19:52I'm talking food here.
00:19:53All right.
00:19:55In that case, surprise me.
00:19:56Trust me.
00:19:57I'm full of surprises.
00:19:59I bet you are.
00:20:01See you soon.
00:20:11Gotcha, sis.
00:20:13So this is where you've been at now.
00:20:15Did you want some of wine?
00:20:27Did you want some of wine?
00:20:45I turned off your alarm.
00:20:55You obviously needed to sleep.
00:20:58We can run tonight.
00:20:59P.S.
00:20:59You snore.
00:21:01But it's super cute.
00:21:02I do not snore, Griffin Roy.
00:21:04What are you doing in a place like this?
00:21:23I live here.
00:21:24When did you move in?
00:21:25Um, last week.
00:21:27We're house-sitting.
00:21:28Yeah, I have heard that one before.
00:21:30Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.
00:21:32Thieves are always trying to break in.
00:21:34Who are you calling a thief?
00:21:37Please step out.
00:21:38Now.
00:21:40What the hell are you doing?
00:21:42Just routine inspection.
00:21:46Let's see what else you're hiding here.
00:21:56Get your filthy hands off my wife!
00:21:58What?
00:22:03Oh.
00:22:04Cool.
00:22:05I thought I was saving you, but it looks like you got it.
00:22:09Oh, look out!
00:22:14Damn, lady.
00:22:15You make it look easy.
00:22:18Are you hurt?
00:22:19Just my pride.
00:22:23Looks like you get it flat.
00:22:25Let's get out of here.
00:22:26We can take my car.
00:22:27This is yours?
00:22:30Borrowed it from a friend.
00:22:31Borrowed it from a friend.
00:22:32Right.
00:22:35I know.
00:22:36All the guards who work here, and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:22:39Who the hell are you, man?
00:22:42Some kind of big shot or something?
00:22:44Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.
00:22:48All right.
00:22:49You're under arrest.
00:22:52What the hell is going on?
00:22:53Well, that didn't go as planned.
00:23:04Mama, this is all your fault.
00:23:06You pushed me to hire those thugs to humiliate Shelby, and now my money's wasted, and she got off scot-free.
00:23:11Eyes on the price, Cece.
00:23:13Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate, this will be pocket change.
00:23:17Yeah.
00:23:18And who would have thought that bum would have got the police involved in all this mess?
00:23:21I don't believe he's a bum.
00:23:23I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?
00:23:25No matter whether he's a tramp or not, he married Shelby for her money.
00:23:30Offer him a better deal, and he'll leave her.
00:23:33We annul the marriage and claim the entire estate.
00:23:37Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox the port-a-potty billionaire looking for a new gigolo?
00:23:43That old cougar?
00:23:45Oh, Cece, honey, when they're that age, they're not cougars.
00:23:49They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:23:56Well, then we just got to make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:23:59You really should have iced these right away.
00:24:08I realize that now.

00:37:59This is Jacques.
00:38:01Why?
00:38:02You're my wife.
00:38:04I sleep with you now.
00:38:05We probably should have talked this through.
00:38:08Yeah.
00:38:09You said you had missed moments.
00:38:12I've had them too.
00:38:14You will not be one of them.
00:38:15I know we said we were pretending, but I want to give us a chance.
00:38:22A real one.
00:38:24Oh?
00:38:24What?
00:38:25I'll be right back.
00:38:25I'm going to go.
00:38:28So.

00:38:34Yes.
00:38:35Yes.

00:38:38Okay.
00:38:40I'll be right back.
00:38:41Okay.
00:38:42So Feder.
00:38:43I love you.
00:38:44Yes.
00:38:45I now pronounce ye man and wife.
00:39:15Guess the bonnie last, why don't you?
00:39:35Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour.
00:39:37We can go over the divorce papers.
00:39:38Goodbye, my husband.
00:39:53I knew something must have happened.
00:39:55I knew something must have happened.
00:40:02Hello.
00:40:03Pierce, I need you to use all your connections to find out what Cece and Margot Trudeau did to Shelby yesterday.
00:40:11Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.
00:40:14It's five in the morning.
00:40:17You have an hour.
00:40:23How did Cece get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?
00:40:27She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral.
00:40:30Stupid.
00:40:32Good for us, bad for them.
00:40:34And the property title?
00:40:35Still in escrow.
00:40:36The title hasn't been transferred yet.
00:40:38Make sure it is in your name.
00:40:41You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive.
00:40:45Oh, goody, goody.
00:40:51Talk to me, McSwain.
00:40:53I showed the fake guards in lockup Cece Trudeau's mugshot.
00:40:56You're right.
00:40:57She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife.
00:40:59How'd you know?
00:41:01Had her M.O. written all over it.
00:41:02I take it the kid gloves are off this time?
00:41:05Oh, yeah.
00:41:06Cece Trudeau thinks she's untouchable.
00:41:07Let's show her just how wrong she is.
00:41:18I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
00:41:21I definitely have.
00:41:24Showtime.
00:41:25I'm your campaign manager, not some hired muscle.
00:41:28Here's what I think about your agreement.
00:41:34Did you see that?
00:41:35Did you see that?
00:41:36She chose me, man.
00:41:37She chose me.
00:41:38Well, hell.
00:41:40Looks like she did.
00:41:41You fucking bitch!
00:41:45That's her cue.
00:41:49Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby.
00:41:51You're gonna lose everything.
00:41:53You know, at least I still have my self-respect,
00:41:55which is more than I can say for you.
00:41:57Don't be hasty, Cece.
00:41:59She's basically a man.
00:42:00You'll get hurt.
00:42:01I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine,
00:42:04but I will never agree to your demands.
00:42:08Reclaim what's yours.
00:42:10You're never gonna step foot in your precious gym ever again.
00:42:16That will be difficult to enforce since I now own the building.
00:42:19Who the hell are you?
00:42:22Pierce Durant, the new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.
00:42:26What?
00:42:29Your deal fell out of escrow.
00:42:32I swooped in and bought it.
00:42:34That's impossible.
00:42:36I own it.
00:42:37Let me spell this out in a way that even an imbecile will understand.
00:42:40Durant, I outbid you.
00:42:43The building is mine.
00:42:45Now scram.
00:42:46I never.
00:42:48Miss Trudeau, I want to ensure you that your lease is secure.
00:42:53The only change will be a 40% rent reduction.
00:42:57That's unbelievable.
00:42:59Are you sure you can afford that?
00:43:00Oh, yeah.
00:43:02Thank you, Mr. Durant.
00:43:05The gym means a lot to the women in this community.
00:43:14Cece Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion.
00:43:16The fake guards identified you as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau.
00:43:21Okay, well, but that was last week.
00:43:23You can't arrest me now.
00:43:24We most certainly can, and this time the charges won't be dropped.
00:43:29No, no, no, you can't take my girl.
00:43:32No, you can't take me now.
00:43:33I'm coming after you.
00:43:34I'm never going to forget this when I get out.
00:43:36You're mine.
00:43:45Zara, call everyone.
00:43:49Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
00:43:50Well, aren't you going to go over there?
00:44:00You are the one that orchestrated this whole thing.
00:44:02No, it's her victory.
00:44:06I merely did what a husband should to ensure her happiness.
00:44:09That's my reward.
00:44:11That is some wild shit you just spouted.
00:44:13This girl is seriously causing you to lose it, Griff.
00:44:16You worry too much.
00:44:17And you don't worry enough.
00:44:19We have a campaign to win.
00:44:21And you're ten points behind LaRoche in all the latest polls.
00:44:24What are you driving at?
00:44:25Tell Shelby who you are.
00:44:27The voters need to know who your wife is, and we need to be able to shape the narrative.
00:44:32You wait too long, and Neville LaRoche is going to find out and beat us to it.
00:44:36Okay, I'll tell her.
00:44:39I just...
00:44:41I need a few more days of just me with her.
00:44:45Then I'll confess everything.
00:44:56That's Shelby Trudeau, owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
00:45:00Pretty girl.
00:45:02So is she screwing?
00:45:04Duran to Roy?
00:45:05I don't know, sir.
00:45:07That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
00:45:10Those stuck-up twats kept going on and on about their precious lineages digging back to the Mayflower.
00:45:21Not everyone's bought trash like you, Isabel.
00:45:26It is a wonder how you overcame your low-class origins and gained my interest.
00:45:33That wasn't your interest, darling.
00:45:35That was your cock.
00:45:36Hmm.
00:45:37Touche, my dear.
00:45:39Why are you looking at a picture of her?
00:45:41Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:45:43Well, she went by Michelle in high school.
00:45:46But yeah, that's her.
00:45:47She was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school.
00:45:53From bullies like you, per se.
00:45:57Oh, that is unfortunate.
00:45:59You don't have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect.
00:46:05No, no.
00:46:06Me and your new bestie, Isabel.
00:46:08Baby, no.
00:46:09Oh, no.
00:46:11It's cooling off.
00:46:18We should go inside.
00:46:20Just a few more minutes.
00:46:22Can't remember the last time I let myself just be.
00:46:26Yeah.
00:46:28Yeah.
00:46:29I think it was when my parents were still together.
00:46:32Before the divorce, the cheating, while I'm getting sick.
00:46:37I was carefree then.
00:46:38I joined the army after, but that was just another roller coaster.
00:46:44It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory, cutting off weapon supply routes.
00:46:50I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:46:54It's not the place, it's the person.
00:46:57I feel like I've known you forever.
00:47:05Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:47:08I guess I can wait one more day.
00:47:19Our most sought after class of Valkyrie is our women's self is kickboxing.
00:47:26Sign me up.
00:47:29Oh, shit.
00:47:30Isabel, the girl who made my life and everyone else is a living hell in high school.
00:47:35What sneaky BS is she up to?
00:47:37Oh my gosh, Michelle, is that you?
00:47:41I go by Shelby now.
00:47:43You look amazing.
00:47:45Michelle, it's Shelby, and I go way back.
00:47:49Gosh, what a small world.
00:47:51Well, for our membership, we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
00:47:55How about I pay up front for three years?
00:47:58And I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join.
00:48:02You know, if you're really serious about this, you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:48:06I was a mean girl in high school, and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:48:14What you've built here is so empowering.
00:48:17If I had had something like this growing up, then maybe I would have found the courage to stop my pa from all the horrible things he did to me and Ma.
00:48:29Shelby, can we start over?
00:48:30Would you let me try to make it right?
00:48:35Okay.
00:48:45This is so awesome.
00:48:46How about lunch?
00:48:47I'm free to grab a bite right now.
00:48:49We can catch up.
00:48:53Okay.
00:48:54Let me grab my bag.
00:48:55Yeah!
00:48:55Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign.
00:49:08He's pro-union and has a five-point plan to improve workplace safety regulations.
00:49:14Shit!
00:49:16No, no, not you.
00:49:17I gotta call you back.
00:49:18Okay.
00:49:25LaRoche knows about Shelby.
00:49:29He sicked Isabel Longer.
00:49:30Look, here's her Instagram.
00:49:34What the fuck?
00:49:36LaRoche's oppo research must have tagged her.
00:49:38Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
00:49:40Screw the narrative.
00:49:41It's a trap.
00:49:42They've got my wife.
00:49:50I thought this was supposed to be a quick bite.
00:49:52I have a business to run, you know.
00:49:54You haven't changed a bit since high school.
00:49:56So dedicated.
00:49:57I've always admired that about you.
00:50:01Alright, cut the crap, Izzy.
00:50:03Others might buy your ladylike act,
00:50:05but I know you're still the same vicious bully inside.
00:50:09You didn't come to my gym by accident.
00:50:11What's your angle?
00:50:11Neville asked me to befriend you.
00:50:14I don't want to be here.
00:50:15So I can just add that to the list of reasons
00:50:17why I fucking loathe you.
00:50:21What's my angle, Shelby?
00:50:22Shelby, the complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy.
00:50:28And if I can take you down with him, all the better.
00:50:36Shelby, listen to me.
00:50:37The press are on their way.
00:50:38I don't have time to explain, but I fucked up.
00:50:41You have to get out of that restaurant.
00:50:43Now.
00:50:43Too late to run.
00:50:48My hubby's here.
00:50:49Leaving so soon, Miss Trudeau.
00:50:51Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
00:50:56Come on, Shelby.
00:50:58Pick up.
00:50:59Let me know you got out of there.
00:51:02Who the hell are you?
00:51:04Congressman.
00:51:05Neville LaRoche.
00:51:06I understand why your husband probably never mentioned me.
00:51:09Seeing as how there's so much he hasn't told you.
00:51:12Please, sit down.
00:51:14Isabel was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived.
00:51:18No matter.
00:51:19We'll do this the less genteel way if we must.
00:51:23Both of these men are retired Navy SEALs.
00:51:28I've heard a lot about your fighting skills.
00:51:31So, I came prepared.
00:51:38What's this about?
00:51:41What's this about?
00:51:42I spoke with your stepmother, Margot.
00:51:46She had quite the story to tell.
00:51:48It seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bum.
00:51:51On the streets.
00:51:53And actually,
00:51:55well, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:51:58I can't believe you fell for that.
00:52:01Not so smart now, are you, Shelby?
00:52:04You're lying.
00:52:06You are Roy's secret bride.
00:52:09A woman he is so ashamed of,
00:52:11he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:52:13When the press arrives,
00:52:16you will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana
00:52:19so that they may know.
00:52:21what kind of man Roy really is.
00:52:33Hey, I got you.
00:52:36Let me go.
00:52:39Shelby, please.
00:52:40Why did you keep your marriage a secret?
00:52:43The voters have a right to know.
00:52:44What else are you hiding?
00:52:46You son of a bitch.
00:52:48Well now, Roy,
00:52:49don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes.
00:52:52Shel.
00:53:03Shel, please, hear me out.
00:53:06Don't shell me.
00:53:09I've got all of your charm.
00:53:10It's just a lie.
00:53:12I never meant to let it get this far.
00:53:14I planned on coming clean.
00:53:16More lies, Griffin Roy?
00:53:18I was going to tell you today.
00:53:19Convenient.
00:53:21Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start?
00:53:24Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
00:53:27That was always a possibility.
00:53:31Get away from my house.
00:53:32This is technically my home.
00:53:35Oh God, how sitting my ass.
00:53:38You are the worst,
00:53:39and I never want to see you again.
00:53:44Shelby.
00:53:50Professional candidate Griffin Roy has a secret bride.
00:53:54Our reporter is...
00:53:55Ugh!
00:53:56Ugh!
00:53:56Ugh!
00:53:56Ugh!
00:54:09You gotta get a sip of that?
00:54:39Ugh!
00:54:39This is private property.
00:54:56Which I own.
00:54:58Liar.
00:54:59Pierce Durand owns this building.
00:55:00He works for me.
00:55:02Then I'll move.
00:55:03I don't want to owe you anything.
00:55:05Oh, Shelby, Shelby, come out, would you please?
00:55:24I wake up in the morning and reach for you,
00:55:27but you're not there.
00:55:29I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
00:55:41Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:55:46You're ridiculous.
00:55:47You do know that, don't you?
00:55:49Oh, Shelby, Shelby, don't leave me hanging.
00:55:53What are you doing?
00:55:54You're supposed to turn it on.
00:55:57Yeah, I got it from a pawn shop.
00:56:01It's broken.
00:56:02Guy totally scammed me.
00:56:04You are beyond ridiculous.
00:56:07Please, Shelby, I...
00:56:09I didn't say what I wanted to before.
00:56:12Just give me a chance to explain.
00:56:14Fine.
00:56:17Fine.
00:56:18Come in, you fool.
00:56:21Yeah, I'll come into my own house.
00:56:27You have two minutes.
00:56:35Growing up as a Roy,
00:56:38no one ever liked me for me.
00:56:40It's always been about the money,
00:56:45the access.
00:56:48Then, at a moment,
00:56:50three years ago,
00:56:52where someone did,
00:56:54like me,
00:56:55for me.
00:56:57They had no idea who I was.
00:57:00And I just remember
00:57:01how freeing it felt.
00:57:04So, when I met you,
00:57:09and I felt that spark
00:57:10I've been searching for,
00:57:13I didn't think.
00:57:15I just fucking left.
00:57:18Why wait so long to tell me?
00:57:20I've never
00:57:21gone into enemy territory
00:57:23to cut off
00:57:24weapons supply routes.
00:57:27I boxed in prep school.
00:57:29Yeah,
00:57:30you got that right.
00:57:31But, otherwise,
00:57:33I've always been more of
00:57:34a lover
00:57:35rather than a fighter.
00:57:38And I've done well
00:57:39as a lawyer.
00:57:40But I did not
00:57:41earn those billions.
00:57:44I inherited them
00:57:45from
00:57:47generations
00:57:48of dickheads.
00:57:52When you meet a girl,
00:57:53it's a total package.
00:57:55You just want to be
00:57:56her total package, too.
00:57:57You really are ridiculous.
00:58:01You know,
00:58:01I have laughed more
00:58:02with you in the past
00:58:03two weeks
00:58:04than I have
00:58:04in my entire life.
00:58:07I'm way too serious,
00:58:08Griffin.
00:58:09Sometimes I forget
00:58:10how to let go.
00:58:12But with you,
00:58:12every day is fun.
00:58:15So,
00:58:15does that mean
00:58:16you forgive me?
00:58:18I'm thinking about it.
00:58:22Yeah.
00:58:24You think too much.
00:58:25Time to make up sex.
00:58:26So,
00:58:32that's
00:58:32make up sex.
00:58:34Yeah.
00:58:39Griffin,
00:58:39it hurts so much
00:58:40thinking we were over.
00:58:42I know.
00:58:43I never want to
00:58:44feel like that again.
00:58:46I promise
00:58:47not to let anything
00:58:48get in between us.
00:58:49Mm-hmm.
00:58:50This changes everything.
00:58:58Now,
00:58:59thanks for the heads up.
00:59:00I'd appreciate it
00:59:01if you could keep it
00:59:01buried for as long
00:59:02as possible.
00:59:11Run.
00:59:12I want to stay right here.
00:59:23Where the hell
00:59:24are you, Griff?
00:59:25This is DEFCON 1.
00:59:27Hey, man.
00:59:29Seriously?
00:59:29That's all you have to say?
00:59:31Seriously?
00:59:32That's all you have to say?
00:59:36Come on.
00:59:37How could you keep
00:59:43something like this
00:59:43from me?
00:59:44We've known each other
00:59:44since college.
00:59:46What are you talking about?
00:59:47Didn't you get any of my
00:59:48texts or calls?
00:59:49I must have forgot
00:59:50to charge it.
00:59:51I had quit a night
00:59:53last night.
00:59:54Shelby and I
00:59:55made up.
00:59:56She's forgiven me.
00:59:57Well,
00:59:58she won't forgive you
00:59:59for this.
01:00:01You're a goddamn
01:00:02bigamist,
01:00:03Griffin Roy.
01:00:08Michelle Lane.
01:00:09I don't even know
01:00:10who that is.
01:00:11Well,
01:00:11you knew her well enough
01:00:12to marry her
01:00:13three years ago.
01:00:17This can't be right.
01:00:18I got it
01:00:19from a parish clerk.
01:00:20She's agreed
01:00:20to keep it
01:00:20hush-hush
01:00:21for now.
01:00:22The ceremony
01:00:22was conducted
01:00:23at a church.
01:00:24The priest
01:00:25signed and completed
01:00:26the marriage certificate.
01:00:28Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:00:33I now pronounce
01:00:34ye man and wife.
01:00:37Damasco
01:00:37from Wartigrew.
01:00:39I finally know
01:00:40her name.
01:00:41Michelle.
01:00:43Shit.
01:00:44That finally
01:00:45makes sense.
01:00:46Of course,
01:00:47she wouldn't
01:00:47knowingly become
01:00:48a bigamist.
01:00:50Shelby.
01:00:50fuck.
01:00:51What am I
01:00:53going to tell her?
01:00:54Look,
01:00:54it could still
01:00:55be one big mistake.
01:00:57I need to talk
01:00:58to that priest.
01:00:58I have something
01:01:06for you.
01:01:06I have something for you.
01:01:14I hacked into the parish
01:01:16database.
01:01:17Griffin Roy is legally
01:01:18married to both
01:01:18Michelle Lane
01:01:19and Shelby Trudeau.
01:01:21That's it.
01:01:22He's finished.
01:01:24Griffin Roy
01:01:25will be in jail
01:01:26for bigamy
01:01:27before cocktail hour.
01:01:29Michelle Lane
01:01:30is Shelby Trudeau.
01:01:32They're legally
01:01:33married to each other
01:01:33on two separate occasions.
01:01:35They just don't know it yet.
01:01:38That's insane.
01:01:39Check the date.
01:01:41They got married
01:01:41the first time
01:01:42during Mardi Gras.
01:01:43Roy was obviously
01:01:44publicly intoxicated.
01:01:46We could use that angle.
01:01:47Yeah,
01:01:48the romance
01:01:48is already trending.
01:01:50He made an idiot
01:01:51of himself
01:01:52with that boombox
01:01:53and voters,
01:01:54oh.
01:01:55They're just
01:01:55eating it up.
01:01:57He's catching up
01:01:58in the polls.
01:02:00Now,
01:02:01Roy unknowingly
01:02:02marries twice,
01:02:03the girl he's been
01:02:04searching for
01:02:05since Mardi Gras.
01:02:06this will make
01:02:07them seem like
01:02:08some faded
01:02:09love story.
01:02:13This will make
01:02:14them seem like
01:02:15some faded
01:02:16love story.
01:02:18We got nothing
01:02:19on him.
01:02:20Honey,
01:02:21we've got
01:02:22everything we need.
01:02:24What they don't know
01:02:25can definitely
01:02:25hurt them.
01:02:27And right now,
01:02:28to Griffin Roy,
01:02:29Michelle Lane
01:02:30could be anybody.
01:02:31You would have
01:02:35given Machiavelli
01:02:36a run for his money,
01:02:37my dear.
01:02:38Who?
01:02:42Well,
01:02:42we have a very
01:02:43limited window
01:02:44to make this work.
01:02:46We will hit hard
01:02:47and we'll hit fast.
01:02:53What is she gonna say
01:02:54when I tell her
01:02:54I'm married?
01:02:58All right,
01:02:58ladies,
01:02:59good job.
01:03:00That's it for tonight.
01:03:01Remember,
01:03:01this weekend's
01:03:02Mardi Gras.
01:03:03Have fun,
01:03:04but you know
01:03:05what to do
01:03:05if anybody
01:03:05messes with you.
01:03:07Nice work.
01:03:09Hi.
01:03:11Hungry?
01:03:14Yeah,
01:03:15so,
01:03:15today's class
01:03:16went super well.
01:03:17Two new students,
01:03:19they really
01:03:19should pick up
01:03:20on a lot of things.
01:03:21You're everything
01:03:21I've ever wanted.
01:03:23Everything I didn't
01:03:23even dare to dream.
01:03:25You're it for me.
01:03:27I can't lose you.
01:03:29Griffin,
01:03:29are you okay?
01:03:31Yeah.
01:03:33Just some stuff
01:03:35for the campaign.
01:03:37I want to help.
01:03:39LaRoche can't win.
01:03:41He and Isabel
01:03:41are evil.
01:03:42We're the kind of man
01:03:43that people need.
01:03:44I can't imagine
01:03:46anyone else
01:03:46but myself.
01:03:47I'll come by
01:03:48the campaign office
01:03:48tomorrow.
01:03:50We will plan
01:03:51a siege
01:03:51that surrounds
01:03:52them from all sides.
01:03:53That sounds amazing,
01:03:55Sean.
01:04:03Father?
01:04:07I remember
01:04:08the two of you.
01:04:10You had it, lad.
01:04:11That special spark.
01:04:13I don't see it often
01:04:14in couples
01:04:14but when I do
01:04:15it makes an impression.
01:04:16You must
01:04:18be mistaken.
01:04:19This woman and I
01:04:20we'd met
01:04:20that day.
01:04:21And you were already
01:04:22finishing each other's
01:04:23sentences.
01:04:24Dying to tie the knot.
01:04:25There was no stopping you.
01:04:26I was drunk.
01:04:28Drunk with love.
01:04:30The man I married
01:04:30knew what he was doing.
01:04:32I mean,
01:04:33how is this even legal?
01:04:34New Orleans has
01:04:35a 24-hour waiting period.
01:04:36Unless the judge
01:04:37waves it.
01:04:38Son of a bitch.
01:04:39Who was it?
01:04:40He was your best man.
01:04:42You called him
01:04:42Remy.
01:04:44Remy,
01:04:44out that bastard.
01:04:47No wonder
01:04:48he always had
01:04:48that stupid smirk
01:04:50on his face
01:04:50whenever I stood
01:04:51before him in court.
01:04:53Fuck.
01:04:55Fuck.
01:04:59I don't care.
01:05:00I don't care.
01:05:01We need to
01:05:01know all the marriage
01:05:02now.
01:05:03I love my wife.
01:05:04You're in a bit
01:05:04of a pickle
01:05:05because in my book
01:05:06you love Joe
01:05:08to wife as well.
01:05:13Sir,
01:05:14Mrs. Rose
01:05:16is in your office
01:05:16with Mr. Durand.
01:05:18Shelby.
01:05:22Griffin,
01:05:23this is the woman
01:05:24you've been looking for.
01:05:25This is Michelle Lane.
01:05:28Hi, Griffin.
01:05:30You might not
01:05:31remember me
01:05:31but we got married
01:05:32three years ago.
01:05:39So you've been
01:05:40an escort
01:05:41for seven years.
01:05:42That's right,
01:05:43since high school.
01:05:44And that really
01:05:45is your toddler?
01:05:46My baby girl,
01:05:46Fleur.
01:05:47She has no daddy
01:05:48this will be good
01:05:48for her.
01:05:53If I may ask,
01:05:55how will she
01:05:55pass the DNA test?
01:05:57That is the least
01:05:58of your worries.
01:06:00All right,
01:06:00chop chop.
01:06:01Now action.
01:06:10Hi, Griffin.
01:06:12You might not
01:06:12remember me
01:06:13but we got married
01:06:14three years ago.
01:06:15It was Mardi Gras.
01:06:17We were completely
01:06:18wasted
01:06:19and we ended up
01:06:19in some church
01:06:20with an Irish priest.
01:06:22We had a wild night
01:06:23at the hotel
01:06:24and well.
01:06:25Fleur was the
01:06:26happy accident
01:06:27nine months later.
01:06:32It can't be true.
01:06:33I've never met you
01:06:34in my life.
01:06:35I mean,
01:06:36you were wearing masks.
01:06:37Yes, that's right.
01:06:38We were.
01:06:39By the time I found
01:06:40out I was pregnant,
01:06:41two months had passed.
01:06:42I've been trying
01:06:43to find you ever since
01:06:44but it wasn't until
01:06:45I saw one of your ads
01:06:46for Congress
01:06:46that I recognized
01:06:47your voice.
01:06:48It was a miracle.
01:06:50It's too much.
01:06:52She's losing him.
01:06:52Tone it down.
01:06:55Tone it down.
01:06:58Listen,
01:06:59lady,
01:06:59I don't know
01:07:00who you're trying
01:07:00to con
01:07:01with this act.
01:07:02Griffin,
01:07:02don't.
01:07:03But there is
01:07:04no way in hell
01:07:05that I'm married to you.
01:07:07What's going on,
01:07:08Griffin?
01:07:11Is this woman
01:07:12really your wife?
01:07:16No.
01:07:17She's not.
01:07:18We don't know.
01:07:20Which is it?
01:07:21You are my wife.
01:07:22Only you.
01:07:25I understand
01:07:26this is a lot
01:07:26to take in.
01:07:28Fleur and I
01:07:28will just go.
01:07:29I'll have my lawyer
01:07:30reach out.
01:07:31No.
01:07:32No lawyers.
01:07:33We don't need
01:07:33to involve
01:07:34any authorities.
01:07:35This can all
01:07:36be solved
01:07:37with a simple
01:07:38DNA test.
01:07:39Pierce,
01:07:40this woman
01:07:41is a fraud.
01:07:42Griffin,
01:07:42think about it.
01:07:43She says Fleur
01:07:44is your daughter.
01:07:45One little test
01:07:46and that'll prove
01:07:47if she's lying or not.
01:07:48We need to know,
01:07:49Griffin.
01:07:49I need to know.
01:07:52Fine.
01:07:54But I don't want
01:07:55these doubts
01:07:55to fester.
01:07:56We can rush
01:07:57the DNA results
01:07:57and get them
01:07:58back in a few hours.
01:07:59Might I suggest
01:08:00a more private setting.
01:08:02Less eyes.
01:08:04Understood.
01:08:05We can wait
01:08:05back at my house
01:08:06for the results to come.
01:08:07We've got them.
01:08:15You're up.
01:08:29Hi.
01:08:29Bye.
01:08:31Bye.
01:08:31Bye.
01:08:45Bye.
01:08:46Bye.
01:08:46Bye.
01:08:47You could.
01:08:49Don't.
01:08:50Just don't.
01:08:52Shelby, go upstairs.
01:08:53She fed them snacks
01:08:56and then locked herself
01:08:58in the guest room.
01:09:01I can't lose her,
01:09:02Pierce.
01:09:04I won't.
01:09:14Moment of truth, buddy.
01:09:15Bye.
01:09:15Bye.
01:09:15Bye.
01:09:15Bye.
01:09:15Bye.
01:09:15Bye.
01:09:17Bye.
01:09:19Bye.
01:09:19Bye.
01:09:20Bye.
01:09:21Bye.
01:09:21Bye.
01:09:21Bye.
01:09:22Bye.
01:09:22Bye.
01:09:23Bye.
01:09:36Fleur, meet your daddy.
01:09:39I will, of course,
01:09:41provide for you both financially.
01:09:45Fleur doesn't need a checkbook.
01:09:46She needs a father.
01:09:47What do you want?
01:10:05The guest bedroom is empty.
01:10:08You and Fleur can stay there.
01:10:09You and Fleur, meet your daddy.
01:10:12Shelby, just don't do this.
01:10:17Just give me some time.
01:10:19I can fix it.
01:10:20This isn't something you fix.
01:10:23You can't be legally married to two women at the same time
01:10:25and you have a child with one of them.
01:10:29We need to get a divorce.
01:10:31She's right, Griff.
01:10:32She's right, Griff.
01:10:36Griffin, you have a daughter now.
01:10:38You're a father and you have to put your child first.
01:10:43I can't be Margo.
01:10:45I won't do that to another little girl.
01:10:49I've spent my whole life looking for you.
01:10:52How can I let you go?
01:11:00Sometimes love isn't enough.
01:11:06How'd you know Shelby would leave him because of the kid?
01:11:09Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people.
01:11:11It's not in her nature to put herself first.
01:11:13Oh, you're a scary woman.
01:11:16I know.
01:11:22So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered?
01:11:35Oh, you're a scary woman.
01:12:05That's strange.
01:12:28I thought I heard something.
01:12:35It's like she was never here.
01:13:02Hey, mister.
01:13:17Will you marry me?
01:13:20She took everything but left this behind.
01:13:23Message received, Shelby.
01:13:25Shelby.
01:13:25Shelby.
01:13:32What the hell is this?
01:13:38I 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.
01:13:46This place is insane.
01:13:48The owner must really trust you.
01:13:53Could it be?
01:13:54It's her.
01:14:07It's always been her.
01:14:10Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:14:13Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:14:15As soon as you saw the forged DNA test, it was a done deal.
01:14:18Who is she working for?
01:14:19How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby?
01:14:23Give me your name.
01:14:24Come on.
01:14:24Just one name.
01:14:26Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close.
01:14:28I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead.
01:14:32Where is Shelby?
01:14:34Where is my wife?
01:14:36Where is Isabel taking her?
01:14:37I don't know what you're talking about.
01:14:39I will have you put away for the rest of your life and your daughter will grow up in a fucking orphanage.
01:14:44I don't know where she is.
01:14:46If I knew I'd tell you, I swear.
01:15:01What is wrong with me?
01:15:07Help!
01:15:09Somebody help!
01:15:11Do you need some water?
01:15:14Oh, wait.
01:15:14I see you've already had some.
01:15:17You poisoned me?
01:15:19Why?
01:15:20Why?
01:15:22Why?
01:15:23Where to begin?
01:15:26Lingering high school issues.
01:15:28Offs.
01:15:29I'm helping Neville's campaign.
01:15:31Duh.
01:15:32But the real reason, the one that cuts deep, is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist.
01:15:38By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice, he'll have gone missing, vanished without a trace.
01:15:49He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:15:52Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body, suspicion will follow Griffin for the rest of his life.
01:15:58Any political future he may have had will be as dead as you.
01:16:03Nut.
01:16:03Back up.
01:16:05Back up.
01:16:07Married?
01:16:08Twice?
01:16:10Who's the...
01:16:11The woman and the little girl?
01:16:14Oh.
01:16:15Just some cheap whore I hired to tell your husband that they've been married for the past three years.
01:16:20When really, it's been you all along.
01:16:25You've been searching for each other all this time.
01:16:28But now he'll never find you.
01:16:32Alright boys, she's all yours.
01:16:38I told you I'd get you back.
01:16:47Miss Judo, why are you here?
01:16:49My daughter, my, my baby Cece, I'm scared she's gonna do something terrible.
01:16:56What do you mean terrible?
01:16:57What's going on?
01:16:58I sold everything to get her out on bail and you, what is she doing in return?
01:17:04She's, she's gone crazy.
01:17:06She's stalking Shelby.
01:17:08She tailed her to some hotel in a French corner.
01:17:14What hotel?
01:17:15Excuse me, sir.
01:17:17My sister's staying here, but I've forgotten her room number.
01:17:20It's Shelby Trudeau.
01:17:22Sorry ma'am, we can't disclose any guest information.
01:17:32Shelby.
01:17:33Come out, come out, come out wherever you are.
01:17:47I think I'll do a shit with my bare hands.
01:17:50Makes it more personal.
01:17:51Actually, do me a favor.
01:17:55Leave a lot of marks on that face of hers.
01:17:59Fuck you.
01:18:00I want people to see that she suffered.
01:18:02A lot.
01:18:03Well, trust me.
01:18:05She will.
01:18:06Come on.
01:18:07Let's get this party started.
01:18:09Look what you've done.
01:18:28Pansy-ass slap.
01:18:31She's stalling, and you're falling for it.
01:18:34Damn.
01:18:35Can't go to the valet smelling like a dye bar.
01:18:37I'll never give you her car keys.
01:18:40Shelby has clothes over there.
01:18:42Change.
01:18:44I'll take care of me.
01:18:45You go take care of her.
01:18:52Howdy, Griff.
01:18:53Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Lane.
01:18:56It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request.
01:18:59She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago.
01:19:03It's starting to make sense now.
01:19:08It was harder on my mom.
01:19:11She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off, too.
01:19:14He even started using my mom's maiden name.
01:19:17She's the one you've been looking for.
01:19:19It's been her all this time.
01:19:21How could it be so blind?
01:19:22Of course it had to be Shelby.
01:19:24It had to be her.
01:19:25My heart knew what my brain couldn't see.
01:19:30I got it.
01:19:31Your girl's in room 801.
01:19:34Thanks, man.
01:19:35Now I'm going to go save the love of my life.
01:19:43Too much to drink.
01:19:46Too much.
01:19:46Stop right there.
01:19:59Not so fast.
01:20:02Griff and fucking Roy.
01:20:05Finally joined the party.
01:20:07I'm here for my wife.
01:20:09Not going to happen, brah.
01:20:11What you've done here is aggravated assault.
01:20:14But if you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping.
01:20:17That is a federal crime.
01:20:19Don't bring in the FBI.
01:20:22Someone will have to be around to identify us.
01:20:24That sure as hell won't be you.
01:20:28Did you get all that, Pierce?
01:20:29Police are on their way.
01:20:31Hang in there, buddy.
01:20:34We're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:20:44We're not getting out of here.
01:21:14You all right?
01:21:16You all right?
01:21:18You all right?
01:21:20Grif, my God.
01:21:50Do you need medical attention?
01:21:52No, but they do.
01:22:03I guess I renewed my man card.
01:22:05Sure did, honey.
01:22:07Fucked them up real good.
01:22:10Oh, Lord.
01:22:11Please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:22:20You little bitch!
01:22:26Didn't I say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:22:30What?
01:22:32That's not...
01:22:33Shelby!
01:22:33Put your hands up where I can see him.
01:22:42This is the last one.
01:22:43Hey, hey, hey.
01:22:44I want to make a deal.
01:22:46What do you have to offer up?
01:22:47Congressman Neville LaRoche.
01:22:49I'm all ears.
01:22:51Is it really over?
01:22:59Yeah, it is.
01:23:02Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but...
01:23:06Three years ago, did we?
01:23:11You left us.
01:23:20It's true.
01:23:22I can't believe I finally found you.
01:23:25I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met.
01:23:28Why'd you never come back?
01:23:48It's called a walk of shame.
01:23:50Not a life of it.
01:23:51Mind your own business, Cece.
01:23:53Look at you, Shelby.
01:23:54One Mardi Gras hookup, and you think you found happily ever after.
01:23:59That's not how life works.
01:24:01Sure, he may have liked you with a mask on,
01:24:04but he's not going to want you with it off.
01:24:07Look, you both have a great memory now.
01:24:09But you'll look back, and you'll see that you're just the clueless chick
01:24:13who didn't know the score.
01:24:16You'll embarrass yourself.
01:24:18And more importantly, you'll embarrass him.
01:24:24I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:24:28I'm sorry I let her get to me.
01:24:31But to be honest, what we had seemed too good to be true.
01:24:34How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:24:39Exactly.
01:24:39But I did.
01:24:44And I do.
01:24:46Where do we go from here?
01:24:48Married twice.
01:24:50Deeply in love.
01:24:51Risked our lives to save each other.
01:24:54I'd say we live happily every after.
01:24:58Shelby, will you...
01:25:01Yes, Griffin Roy.
01:25:02I will always love you.
01:25:09In this life or the next.
01:25:10I will always love you.
01:25:10In this life or the next.
01:25:12Everything.
01:25:15Every part of me, I'm yours.
