00:00Wilcox, the port-a-potty billionaire looking for a new gigolo?
00:03That old cougar?
00:04Oh, Cece, honey.
00:06When they're that age, they're not cougars, they're saber-tooth tigers.
00:15Well, then we just gotta make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25You really should've iced these right away.
00:27I realize that now.
00:29I've only ever sparred with gloves on. Never thrown a bare-knuckle punch before.
00:36What? Did I just hand in my man card?
00:40No, you knocked a guy out with one punch. Your man card is fully intact.
00:45You just sounded like a prep school rich boy for a second.
00:51Thank you. Not just for today, but for everything.
00:56It's been really lonely since my dad died, and it's nice having someone on my side.
01:01There's no need to thank me. I am your husband.
01:07Close your eyes.
01:18Okay. Fair is fair. I owe you one.
01:26Cheers.
01:42Sorry. I know we're just pretending.
01:46Right. Pretending.
01:51I'm gonna... I'm gonna go for a run.
01:58Okay, I'll come with...
02:04What if it's just me? Wouldn't that be ironic? The first woman I'm into for so long is not into me. Fuck!
02:21Griffin kissed me, and it felt just like that night three years ago.
02:26What's wrong with me? How can I feel the exact same way for two different men?
02:41I don't know. He looks like a wet street dog.
02:44I'll shower in a haircut.
02:47We got a proposition for you.
02:50How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?
02:53Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
02:55Get in.
03:07I don't know. He looks like a wet street dog.
03:10I'll shower in a haircut. He'll be marginally presentable.
03:14Ugh.
03:19Are you sure he's not homeless? He eats like a dirty pig.
03:22So you want me to divorce Shelby and marry Victoria Wilcox, the shithouse billionaire?
03:34You will refer to them as porta-parties, young man.
03:39We know you're after Shelby's inheritance, but she's never gonna see it.
03:44Well, he'll do.
03:51Oh, he'll do just nicely.
03:56Wait a minute. Have we met before? Because you look real familiar.
04:01Oh, no. Nope, I don't think I run in your kinds of circles, Miss Wilcox.
04:08The first document are official divorce papers.
04:14The first document are official divorce papers.
04:17And you will also be paid $20,000 a month to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.
04:25Oh, you don't need to worry, boy.
04:28Because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
04:33Mm. Mm.
04:46I don't understand. This says...
04:49You're under arrest for pandering.
04:53Detective McSwain, this woman has tried to recruit me as a sex worker.
04:59That's a class C felony.
05:01And you will also be paid $20,000 a month to provide intimate services of a sexual nature.
05:11Detective. Detective. Detective.
05:14There must be some misunderstanding. There's no nonsense going on here.
05:18No, you can't arrest me on the word of that bum. He set me up.
05:22Detective McSwain, it's getting late. I'd like to go home and see my wife.
05:28Wait.
05:32You have made a big mistake rejecting me.
05:35I'm a woman of wealth and power that you cannot fathom.
05:40I will make you pay very dearly for this.
05:43I don't think anyone mentioned my last name.
05:47It's Roy.
05:52Well, I'm sorry.
05:56Well, I knew you looked familiar, you see.
06:00I'm just an old woman. You could forgive me.
06:04Get out of my face.
06:08Pardon me. Excuse me.
06:12Alright, we got her in the car. How far do you want this to go?
06:16Put the fear of God in there. Mug shot, fingerprints, thorax.
06:21Then in the morning, drop the charges before the press gets wind.
06:25Pierce would have your hide. You got it, Griff.
06:38Where have you been? I was worried you were gone so long.
06:43Yeah? Yeah.
06:47Are you hungry? I can heat up some leftovers.
06:50Yeah, I'd like that.
06:55Did that just happen? Maybe you have a shot with her after all.
07:10Oh, baby, my little girl.
07:13I will never forget the humiliation that man has caused us.
07:17Don't you worry, Mama. I have a plan.
07:20I had all night to think about it in that cold, hard cell.
07:24If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby, fine.
07:27We'll just force Shelby to divorce him.
07:30And I know just where to hit it where it hurts.
07:35He's amazing.
07:39I think we shaved 30 seconds off that time.
07:43I thought I was competitive. You even compete with yourself.
08:09You're not growing. You're dying.
08:12I, um, I'm gonna go shower.
08:16Me too.
08:21Get a grip, Shelby. So he's hot.
08:24You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
08:27What makes him any different? He just is.
08:35Hey, Zara.
08:36Shelby, you have to get here right away.
08:38Buford's kicking us out the gym.
08:45I'm sorry. My hands are tied.
08:48He says we have to leave.
08:50Okay, I got this. Mr. Buford, what are you doing?
08:53This is my place of business.
08:55You're done here. I sold the building. The new owners want you out.
08:58That's illegal. I have a lease.
09:01They've got a break clause for new management, and they've decided to activate it.
09:05Who the hell is they?
09:11That would be us.
09:15If we can take it from here.
09:17Sure thing. Pleasure doing business with you, ladies.
09:20I know you used all your army money for this gym, but you can get it back.
09:25All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.
09:29Get a divorce, give up your inheritance,
09:33and then you can keep your dinky, smelly gym.
09:43I bet you want to hit me so bad.
09:46Not so tough now, are you, Shelby?
09:48Screw you. I'll just pack up and find a new location.
09:52Sorry, the building is now closed for...
09:55renovations.
09:57And everything inside now belongs to me.
10:00Of course, you could sue, but that would take months.
10:05Well, what would happen to your gym now, Shelby?
10:08That's blackmail.
10:10We like to call it capitalism.
10:12You don't sign, we close the gym, and then you lose everything.
10:18Think about what you're doing.
10:20This gym is a lifeline for so many women.
10:22I won't let you take it from them.
10:24You can beg, but I won't budge.
10:27Be a smart girl and sign the papers by tomorrow,
10:31or you can kiss your Valkyrie Fight Club goodbye.
10:35And watch us turn it into...
10:37Valkyrie Strip Club!
10:40Isn't that a good idea?
10:42There's poles and everything.
10:44Plenty of girls.
10:46They're cute.
10:48They are cute.
10:50Cute enough.
10:57I'm not here because I'd give a damn if you win.
11:00I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy doesn't.
11:03Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
11:07The fuck you say?
11:09What exactly did Roy do to earn your loathing?
11:13He partnered up against me with a She-Warrior.
11:17I want to see them both destroyed.
11:20Well, with your connections and my political might,
11:24I think that might be able to be arranged.
11:33LaRose got Andre.
11:35What are we going to do about this?
11:37Nothing.
11:39We do not want these two pairing up, alright?
11:41This is political suicide.
11:43Just talk to Shelby.
11:45Maybe if you both apologize...
11:47Um, hell no.
11:49Let them do their best.
11:51Mark my words.
11:53This is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
11:55Hello, Shelby.
12:02Griffin, we need to talk.
12:11Shelby, what's going on?
12:13You sounded tense on the phone.
12:17I have so many missed moments.
12:19Things I should have said or done.
12:22Chances that were lost that might have been pivotal to my life.
12:26I don't want you to be another moment that I miss.
12:40You first.
12:52You first.
13:14You first.
13:22You first.
13:24You first.
13:50How was that?
13:52How was that?
14:02Griffin?
14:04Where are you going?
14:06Griffin?
14:08Griffin?
14:10Explain yourself.
14:12Toothbrush.
14:15BJ's.
14:17This is Jacques.
14:19Why?
14:22You're my wife.
14:24I sleep with you now.
14:26We probably should have talked this through.
14:28Yeah.
14:30You said you had missed moments.
14:32I've had them too.
14:34You will not be one of them.
14:36I know we said we were pretending, but...
14:38I want to give us a chance.
14:40A real one.
14:42Oh?
14:52I love you.
14:54I love you.
14:56I love you.
14:58I love you.
15:00I love you.
15:02I love you.
15:04I love you.
15:06I love you.
15:08I love you.
15:10I love you.
15:12I love you.
15:14I love you.
15:16I love you.
15:18I love you.
15:20I love you.
15:30I now pronounce ye man and wife.
15:35Guess the bonnie lass, why don't ya?
15:50Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour.
15:52We can go over the divorce papers.
16:00Goodbye, my husband.
16:10I knew something must have happened.
16:20Hello?
16:22Pierce, I need you to use all your connections
16:24to find out what Cece and Margot Trudeau
16:26did to Shelby yesterday.
16:30Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.
16:34It's five in the morning.
16:36You have an hour.
16:42How did Cece get the money to buy the entire
16:44Rampart Drive building?
16:46She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion
16:48as collateral.
16:50Stupid. Good for us, bad for them.
16:52And the property title?
16:54Still in escrow.
16:56The title hasn't been transferred yet.
16:58Make sure it is in your name.
17:00You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise
17:02building on Rampart Drive.
17:04Oh, goody, goody.
17:10Talk to me, McSwain.
17:12I showed the fake guards in lockup Cece Trudeau's mugshot.
17:14You're right.
17:17Who hired them to rough up your wife?
17:19How'd you know?
17:21Had her M.O. written all over it.
17:23I take it the kid gloves are off this time?
17:25Oh, yeah. Cece Trudeau thinks she's untouchable.
17:27Let's show her just how wrong she is.
17:37I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
17:39I definitely have.
17:43Showtime.
17:45I'm a pain manager, not some hired muscle.
17:47Here's what I think
17:49about your agreement.
17:53Did you see that? Did you see that?
17:55She chose me, man. She chose me.
17:57Well, hell.
17:59Looks like she did.
18:01You fucking bitch!
18:03That's her cue.
18:09Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby.
18:11You're gonna lose everything.
18:13I will have my self-respect,
18:15which is more than I can say for you.
18:17Don't be hasty, Cece.
18:19She's basically a man. You'll get hurt.
18:21I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine,
18:23but I will never agree to your demands.
18:27Reclaim what's yours?
18:29You're never gonna step foot
18:31in your precious gym ever again.
18:35That will be difficult to enforce
18:37since I now own the building.
18:39Who the hell are you?
18:42And the new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.
18:48Your deal fell out of escrow.
18:50I swooped in and bought it.
18:52That's impossible.
18:54I own it.
18:56Let me spell this out in a way
18:58that even an imbecile will understand.
19:00I outbid you.
19:02The building is mine.
19:04Now scram.
19:06I'm Emma.
19:08Mr. Doe, I want to ensure you
19:10that your lease is secure.
19:12The only change will be a 40% rent reduction.
19:16That's unbelievable.
19:18Are you sure you can afford that?
19:20Oh, yeah.
19:22Thank you, Mr. Duran.
19:24The gym means a lot to the women in this community.
19:33Cece Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion.
19:35The fake guards identified you
19:37as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau.
19:40Okay, well, but that was last week.
19:42You can't arrest me now.
19:44We most certainly can,
19:46and this time the charges won't be dropped.
19:48No, no, no!
19:50You can't take my girl!
19:52I'm coming after you.
19:54I'm never going to forget this when I get out.
19:56You're mine.
20:04Zara, call everyone.
20:06Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
20:10Ah!
20:16Well, aren't you going to go over there?
20:18You're the one that orchestrated this whole thing.
20:20No.
20:22It's her victory.
20:24I merely did what a husband shouldn't
20:26to ensure her happiness.
20:28That's my reward.
20:30That is some wild shit you just spouted.
20:32This girl is seriously causing you to lose a grip.
20:34You worry too much.
20:36And you don't worry enough.
20:39We have a campaign to win,
20:41and you're ten points behind LaRoche
20:43in all the latest polls.
20:45What are you driving at?
20:47Tell Shelby who you are.
20:49The voters need to know who your wife is,
20:51and we need to be able to shape the narrative.
20:53You wait too long, and Neville LaRoche
20:55is going to find out and beat us to it.
20:57Okay, I'll tell her.
20:59I just...
21:01I need a few more days
21:03of just me with her.
21:05Then I'll confess everything.
21:09That's Shelby Trudeau,
21:11owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
21:13Pretty girl.
21:15So who's she screwing?
21:17Duran or Roy?
21:19I don't know, sir.
21:21That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
21:23Those stuck-up twats
21:25kept going on and on
21:27about their precious lineages
21:29dating back to the Mayflower.
21:31I'm sorry.
21:33I'm sorry.
21:35I'm sorry.
21:37Not everyone's
21:39white trash like you, Isabelle.
21:43It is a wonder
21:45how you overcame
21:47your low-class origins
21:49and gained my interest.
21:51That wasn't your interest, darling.
21:53That was your cock.
21:55Touche, my dear.
21:57Why are you looking at a picture of her?
21:59Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
22:01Well, she went by Michelle
22:03in high school.
22:05But yeah, that's her.
22:07She was a star athlete
22:09with an annoying habit of defending every loser
22:11in school.
22:13From bullies like you, per se.
22:15Oh, that is
22:17unfortunate.
22:19You'll have to work that much harder
22:21for when you two reconnect.
22:23Neville, no.
22:25You mean your new bestie, Isabelle?
22:27Baby, no.
22:35It's cooling off.
22:37We should go inside.
22:39Just a few more minutes.
22:41Can't remember the last time I let myself
22:43just be.
22:45Yeah.
22:47I guess when my parents were still together.
22:51Before the divorce, the cheating,
22:53mom getting sick.
22:55I was carefree then.
22:57I joined the army after, but
22:59that was just another rollercoaster.
23:01It's kind of hard to chill
23:04when you're deep in hostile territory
23:06cutting off weapons supply routes.
23:08I'm glad you feel
23:10safe here.
23:12It's not the place,
23:14it's the person.
23:16I feel like I've known you forever.
23:24Shelby, I have to tell you something.
23:26I guess I can wait
23:28one more day.
23:34Our most sought after place
23:36at Valkyrie is our women's
23:38self defense kickboxing.
23:42Sign me up.
23:44Oh, shit.
23:46Isabelle, the girl who made my life
23:48and everyone else's a living hell,
23:50I'm so proud of you.
23:52I'm so proud of you.
23:54Isabelle, the girl who made my life
23:56and everyone else's a living hell in high school.
23:58What sneaky BS is she up to?
24:00Oh my gosh, Michelle?
24:02Is that you?
24:04I go by Shelby now.
24:06You look amazing.
24:08Michelle, Shelby,
24:10and I go way back.
24:12Gosh, what a small world.
24:14Well, for our membership,
24:16we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
24:18How about I pay up front
24:20for three years?
24:23You know, if you're really serious
24:25about this, you'll have to lose the bling
24:27before class.
24:31I was a mean girl in high school
24:33and I'm really ashamed of it.
24:35What you've built here
24:37is so empowering.
24:39If I had had something like this growing up,
24:41then maybe I would have found
24:43the courage to stop
24:45my pa from all the horrible things
24:47he did to me and Ma.
24:50Shelby, can we start over?
24:52Would you let me try to make it right?
24:56Okay.
