00:00Will you marry me?
00:02Shelby Trudeau must be married by 5 o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:06I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau. I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:09Who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:11The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:15Alright, let's get married.
00:17I can't keep living in the past. Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:21Why can't you just tell her it's your place? You're a public figure.
00:24When do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:26The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a boy.
00:28She liked me for me and I want that again.
00:30You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:34Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:37I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:40How pathetic and pointless.
00:42Tell him how in love we are.
00:44Sometimes I forget how to let go, but with you every day is fun.
00:48Actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:52You are Roy's secret bride.
00:54A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:57We need to get a divorce.
00:59I've spent my whole life looking for you.
01:02Sometimes love isn't enough.
01:05Could it be?
01:07It's her. It's always been her.
01:10How could it be so blind?
01:28I'm bored.
01:31According to Mr. Trudeau's will,
01:33your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau,
01:37must be married by five o'clock today,
01:40or she loses her inheritance.
01:42That unladylike girl is not my daughter.
01:45Bad enough I'm her stepmother.
01:47Ryan, hello.
01:48We want Shelby to know show.
01:50That's the way we get everything.
01:58I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
02:00I'm here to claim my inheritance.
02:02Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.
02:05Dressed in your old uniform.
02:07Pathetic.
02:08Still trying to play hero.
02:10I'm in the Army Reserve now, CC.
02:12I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
02:14The will, please.
02:16Ooh, the Army Reserve.
02:20Should have just died in the war.
02:23Ooh, the Army Reserve.
02:26Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier.
02:29No one would have missed you.
02:30Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
02:34Look, you don't have to respect me,
02:36but don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on the battlefield.
02:40God, look around, CC.
02:42Your curled hair and your frilly dress.
02:44Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
02:48You have freedom and peace
02:50because someone else is carrying the burden.
02:57Of course.
02:59The will, Sergeant Trudeau.
03:01And I want to thank you for your service.
03:08Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours
03:11only if signed by both you and your spouse.
03:16Ooh!
03:18That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
03:20Tick tock.
03:33Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
03:35Give up your inheritance and I'll give you one percent.
03:38Better than nothing.
03:41You stole my father from me most of my life.
03:43You will not take what he left me.
03:46And what this money could do to help the gym
03:48and all the women that are part of it.
03:52Really, Shelby?
03:54Who's going to marry you anyhow?
03:56The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand
03:58three years ago at Mardi Gras.
04:14Don't. Keep the mystery.
04:19You've already lost, Shelby.
04:21Take the one percent I'm offering and be grateful for it.
04:24Right.
04:26You're not even going to find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
04:31Watch me.
04:35Watch me.
04:43Watch me.
04:51Don't worry.
04:58He looks single.
05:00Oh my god, this is totally food bar.
05:04Suck it up, soldier.
05:06You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
05:09Hey, mister?
05:12Will you marry me?
05:22I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain,
05:25but if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
05:29Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
05:32So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
05:34Do I look like a homeless person to her?
05:36Priceless.
05:40Shelby Trudeau!
05:41You unsigned!
05:42You can't marry this...
05:44helpful.
05:47Shelby Trudeau.
05:48The late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
05:51That's right.
05:52The judge said she was a soldier.
05:54He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
05:57Here's a few bucks.
05:58Take it and get lost.
06:00Don't meddle in our business.
06:02Don't speak to him like that.
06:04He's a person with feelings.
06:07The Cinderella Tale.
06:08Complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister.
06:12It's clear who deserves my help.
06:14And the timing couldn't be better for me.
06:16All right.
06:18Let's get married.
06:21The Cinderella Tale
06:33Names for the marriage certificate?
06:35Shelby Trudeau.
06:38And your name is?
06:40Griffin Roy.
06:50Congratulations.
07:03And congratulations, you lovebirds.
07:15This isn't over.
07:16Tell her!
07:21Sergeant Trudeau.
07:23Mrs. Roy.
07:25You have to stay married for at least one full year.
07:29Or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.
07:33You hear that, Shelby?
07:35You won't last a week with that hobo.
07:41Come on.
07:47I guess we'll need to keep in touch.
07:49But you probably don't have a permanent address.
07:53Once the estate gets settled and I have the money,
07:56we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job.
07:59When most people get what they wanted, they usually just walk away.
08:04I'm not most people.
08:06I see that.
08:15I gotta return this.
08:18Goodbye for now.
08:21Goodbye, wife.
08:35Where the hell have you been?
08:48Gotcha.
08:49Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
08:54This DNA, get it to Detective McSwain right away.
08:57Look, as your campaign manager,
08:59I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
09:02You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
09:08Look.
09:09Marrying Isabel was the best decision of my life.
09:13You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago,
09:17you got a package deal.
09:19Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor.
09:22Playboy lawyer. Best.
09:25This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
09:28In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women
09:32who want me for what I am, not who I am.
09:35Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
09:39Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
09:43It's not just some girl. We had a connection.
09:47Never had that before.
09:54Look, I gotta run.
09:55But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
09:59Someone real.
10:00Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
10:10Remember that true strength is not physical.
10:13It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
10:16All right, guys. That's class. Nice work.
10:25So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
10:28I tried it.
10:29I tried it.
10:30I tried it.
10:31I tried it.
10:32I tried it.
10:33I tried it.
10:34I tried it.
10:35I tried it.
10:36I tried it.
10:37I tried it.
10:38I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
10:43Who knows how many other women he's done this to.
10:46So I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place and confront him in person.
10:53What's holding you back?
10:54Andre's no regular guy, Shelby.
10:56He's got a bro pack.
10:58These men are like wolves with mutton.
11:00Let's go.
11:02We'll face this douchebag together.
11:09We'll face this douchebag together.
11:23What's your name?
11:24I'm Stephanie.
11:26How about a drink, huh?
11:27Oh, that's okay.
11:28Come on, one little drink won't do no harm.
11:31Okay, one drink.
11:32Really, Pierce?
11:33This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
11:37You want to beat LaRoche, you got to mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
11:47I can't believe I slept with that.
11:49What was I thinking?
11:52I guess I can't hold my liquor.
11:54I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
11:58It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
12:05Thanks.
12:06That creep.
12:09You dickless loser.
12:18Drugging girls to get laid.
12:20What the fuck?
12:21Get out of my house, skank.
12:24I'm the skank?
12:25That's funny.
12:26You're the one spreading chlamydia.
12:28Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
12:32Unless you're back for more, I know how much of a whore you really are.
12:35You like spreading your legs, don't you?
12:37I just told you that you have chlamydia and you...
12:41Oh my God.
12:42You already know you have it.
12:45And you don't care.
12:47Ladies!
12:48Andre Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
12:58What is she doing here?
13:00Both of you, get out of here.
13:06Oh shit.
13:07She can't know who I am yet.
13:14Do you know who I am?
13:15I don't care.
13:21Where did she come from?
13:23That's my wife.
13:24Isn't she amazing?
13:25And she's gonna cost you, Andre, once he finds out you're married to her.
13:28I don't care.
13:29You think you can crash my party and put that ninja shit on me?
13:34You are one dead bitch.
13:46Oh, nice.
13:47Did you see that combo?
13:48Dude, she can fight.
13:49Look at her form, man.
13:56She can really fight, man.
13:57You are hopeless.
14:00Hey.
14:01Sort me jackets.
14:02I'll give you my Rolex.
14:26Fuck you, Roy.
14:27I'll do everything I can to end you.
14:29We should get out of here.
14:30Yeah, yeah.
14:31Come on.
14:35Get him!
14:38You lied to me.
14:39You're not some homeless guy.
14:41Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
14:43You were next to a dumpster.
14:45That's not much of a leap.
14:46What were you doing at this party?
14:48Working the room.
14:49Oh.
14:50I thought you were one of those asshole rich guys.
14:54I'm sorry.
14:55I hope I didn't cost you your job.
14:57I know how you can make it up to me.
14:59Have dinner with me.
15:03My place is nearby.
15:04I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
15:06Wow.
15:07A wife who cooks and kicks ass.
15:10I'm one lucky man.
15:12Don't push it.
15:21Hey, dinner's ready.
15:27This is nice.
15:28I haven't had a home cooked meal in a long time.
15:32It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.
15:34How long were you in the military?
15:36Seven years.
15:37I joined right after high school.
15:39My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.
15:42You weren't close with your father?
15:45I was.
15:46He was my hero.
15:48Until he wasn't.
15:51He cheated on my mom with Margo.
15:54He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
15:57It was quite the scandal at the time.
15:59That must have been really hard for you.
16:02It was harder on my mom.
16:04She didn't want anything to do with him so I cut him off too.
16:07Even started using my mom's maiden name.
16:09But then three years ago he reached out, told me he was sick, so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
16:15Eerie.
16:16Yeah, you are.
16:18Enough about me.
16:19What's your story, Griffin Roy?
16:23Oh.
16:25Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
16:27We know you're in there, Shelby. The light is on.
16:29We are not leaving until you open this door.
16:32We are not leaving until you open this door.
16:35Hey.
16:37I'll handle this.
16:43Oh, I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling, but it's just you two.
16:48And you are?
16:49That's the homeless guy that Shelby married.
16:51What are you doing here?
16:53Why wouldn't Griffin be here?
16:54He's my husband, after all.
16:57Mama, what are we going to do? We need to challenge the will.
16:59But how can we do that if they're still together?
17:01Shut up, Cece.
17:02Oh, I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
17:06How pathetic and pointless.
17:08Look how in love we are.
17:11I'll be back.
17:13Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
17:17Right, we're going to shred that will and your shame of marriage in no time.
17:20Mm-hmm.
17:31Margo and Cece are going to be a problem.
17:33There's no way they'll let us be.
17:35What if we moved in together?
17:38You want to live here?
17:40No.
17:41Somewhere with better security.
17:43Like my place.
17:46Sure.
17:47I'm dying to see where you live.
17:51So let me get this straight.
17:56You told her you're house-sitting?
17:58That's right.
17:59Said I was going to watch the house while the owner was in Europe for the year.
18:03You do know how crazy that sounds.
18:05Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
18:11I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.
18:14That's very flattering, but you don't know anything about me.
18:17I know you take my breath away.
18:19And I know that I would wonder for the rest of my life if I didn't take this chance.
18:24Even if it was only for one night.
18:26Maybe it's better this way.
18:29No names, no past.
18:32We can just be ourselves.
18:34I'd like that very much.
18:37The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
18:40She liked me for me.
18:42And I want that again, Pierce.
18:44Even for a little while.
18:50Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.
18:53Griffin, you're a public figure.
18:56A lot of people know who you are.
18:58How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
19:00I don't know.
19:02But I have a chance to be with someone without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
19:06Well, just remember.
19:08We're about to launch a multi-platform campaign.
19:11In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboard.
19:16In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboard.
19:19Your face is about to be everywhere.
19:22Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.
19:26I love you.
19:44This place is insane.
19:46The owner must really trust you.
19:48Yep, we're pretty tight.
19:51Here, let me show you to your room.
19:56I can't keep living in the past.
20:00Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
20:10Goodbye, mystery lover.
20:17I take it things are going well with Xena, Warrior Princess.
20:20Oh, she's so exciting. And competitive.
20:23She's so exciting. And competitive.
20:25Keeps me on my toes.
20:27Oh, and so damn beautiful.
20:29Face sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
20:31When do I get to meet her?
20:33Her military background and work with actress women will be a real asset for both female and male voters.
20:38Dial it back, Pierce. We're in the early stages.
20:41Alright, well, don't take too long.
20:43You married her for the campaign.
20:45And it's not like she can dump you once she finds out.
20:48She needs you for her inheritance.
20:54Good.
21:00Hey.
21:02I'm taking care of you tonight.
21:04Oh, I like the sound of that.
21:06Get your mind out of the gutter, woman. I'm talking food here.
21:09Alright, in that case, surprise me.
21:12Try me. I'm full of surprises.
21:15I bet you are.
21:17See you soon.
21:19I bet you are.
21:21See you soon.
21:31Gotcha, sis.
21:33So this is where you've been hiding out.
21:46Did you want some of my wine?
21:49Sure.
22:14I turned off your alarm.
22:16You obviously needed to sleep.
22:18Not tonight.
22:19P.S. You snore, but it's super cute.
22:22I do not snore, Gryffinroy.
22:40What are you doing in a place like this?
22:42I live here.
22:44When did you move in?
22:46Last week. We're house-sitting.
22:48Yeah, I've heard that one before.
22:50Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.
22:52Thieves are always trying to break in.
22:54Who are you calling a thief?
22:56Please step out. Now.
23:00What the hell are you doing?
23:02Just routine inspection.
23:06Let's see what else you're hiding here.
23:09Stop!
23:15Get your filthy hands off my wife!
23:17What?
23:23Oh. Cool.
23:25I thought I was saving you, but it looks like you got it.
23:29Look out!
23:33Damn, lady.
23:35You make it look easy.
23:38Are you hurt?
23:39Just my pride.
23:42Yeah, looks like you get it flat.
23:44Let's get out of here. We can take my car.
23:47This is yours?
23:49Borrowed it from a friend.
23:51Right.
23:55I know all the guards who work here, and you sure as hell aren't them.
23:59Who the hell are you, man?
24:01Some kind of big shot or something?
24:03Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.
24:06All right.
24:08You're under arrest.
24:10What the hell is going on?
24:19Well, that didn't go as planned.
24:22Mama, this is all your fault!
24:24You pushed me to hire those thugs to humiliate Shelby,
24:27and now my money's wasted and she got off scot-free!
24:30Eyes on the prize, Cece.
24:32Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate, this will be pocket change.
24:36Yeah.
24:37And who would have thought that bum would have got the police involved in all this mess?
24:40I don't believe he's a bum.
24:42I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?
24:45No matter whether he's a tramp or not, he married Shelby for her money.
24:50Offer him a better deal and he'll leave her.
24:53We annul the marriage and claim the entire estate.
24:58Oh, isn't Victoria weird?
