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