00:00This is so awesome.
00:08How about lunch?
00:09I'm free to grab a bite right now.
00:11We can catch up.
00:14Okay, let me grab my bag.
00:26Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign.
00:30He's pro-union and has a five-point plan to improve workplace safety regulations.
00:35Shit.
00:36No, no, not you.
00:39I gotta call you back.
00:49LaRose knows about Shelby.
00:51He sicked Isabel on her.
00:52Look, here's her Instagram.
00:53What the fuck?
00:57Roche's oppo research must have tagged her.
00:59Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
01:02Screw the narrative.
01:03It's a trap.
01:04They've got my wife.
01:05I thought this was supposed to be a quick bite.
01:14I have a business to run, you know.
01:16You haven't changed a bit since high school.
01:18So dedicated.
01:19I've always admired that about you.
01:21All right, cut the crap, Izzy.
01:25Others might buy your ladylike act, but I know you're still the same vicious bully inside.
01:31You didn't come to my gym by accident.
01:33What's your angle?
01:34Neville asked me to befriend you.
01:36I don't want to be here.
01:37So I can just add that to the list of reasons why I fucking loathe you.
01:43What's my angle, Shelby?
01:46The complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy.
01:50And if I can take you down with him, all the better.
01:54Shelby, listen to me.
01:59The press are on their way.
02:00I don't have time to explain, but I fucked up.
02:03You have to get out of that restaurant now.
02:09Too late to run.
02:10My hubby's here.
02:11Leaving so soon, Ms. Trudeau.
02:14Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
02:19Come on, Shelby, pick up.
02:21Let me know you got out of there.
02:23Who the hell are you?
02:26Congressman.
02:27Neville LaRoche.
02:28I understand why your husband probably never mentioned me, seeing as how there's so much
02:33he hasn't told you.
02:34Please, sit down.
02:36Isabel was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived.
02:40No matter.
02:41We'll do this the less genteel way, if we must.
02:45Both of these men are retired Navy SEALs.
02:49I've heard a lot about your fighting skills, so I came prepared.
02:59What's this about?
03:02What's this about?
03:03I spoke with your stepmother.
03:05I'll go.
03:06She had quite the story to tell.
03:09It seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bum.
03:13On the streets.
03:14When actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
03:19I can't believe you fell for that.
03:22Not so smart now, are you, Shelby?
03:25You're lying.
03:27You are Roy's secret bride.
03:30A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
03:34When the press arrives,
03:36you will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana
03:40so that they may know
03:42what kind of man Roy really is.
03:53Hey, I got you.
03:57Let me go.
03:59Shelby, please.
04:02Why did you keep your marriage a secret?
04:04The voters have a right to know.
04:06What else are you hiding?
04:07You son of a bitch.
04:09Now, Roy, don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes.
04:24Shelby, Shelby, please, hear me out.
04:27Don't shell me.
04:30God, all of your charm, it's just a lie.
04:34I never meant to let it get this far.
04:36I planned on coming clean.
04:38More lies, Griffin Roy?
04:40I was going to tell you today.
04:41Convenient.
04:43Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start?
04:46Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
04:49That was always a possibility.
04:53Get away from my house.
04:55This is technically my home.
04:58How's sitting my ass?
05:00You are the worst, and I never want to see you again.
05:05Shelby.
05:12Congressional candidate Griffin Roy has a secret bride.
05:15Our reporter is...
05:28You got to get a sip of that?
05:31You got to get a sip of that?
05:34You got to get a sip of that?
05:45You got to get a sip of that?
05:48You got to get a sip of that?
06:13This is private property.
06:15Which I own.
06:16Liar.
06:17Pierce Durand owns this building.
06:19He works for me.
06:21Then I'll move.
06:22I don't want to owe you anything.
06:37Oh Shelby, Shelby, come out would you please?
06:43I wake up in the morning and reach for you
06:46but you're not there.
06:54I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
06:59Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
07:04You're ridiculous. You do know that, don't you?
07:08Oh Shelby, Shelby, don't leave me hanging.
07:12What are you doing? You're supposed to turn it on.
07:15Yeah, I got it from a pawn shop.
07:20It's broken. The guy totally scammed me.
07:24You are beyond ridiculous.
07:26Please Shelby, I didn't say what I wanted to before.
07:31Just give me a chance to explain.
07:36Fine. Come in you fool.
07:40I'll come into my own house.
07:45You have two minutes.
07:54Growing up as a Roy,
07:58no one ever liked me for me.
08:01It's always been about the money, the excess.
08:07Then at a moment,
08:10three years ago,
08:11where someone did like me for me.
08:16They had no idea who I was.
08:19And I just remember how freeing it felt.
08:26So when I met you,
08:28and I felt that spark I've been searching for,
08:32I didn't think.
08:34I just fucking left.
08:37Why wait so long to tell me?
08:38I've never gone into enemy territory
08:42to cut off weapons supply routes.
08:45I boxed in prep school.
08:48Yeah, you got that right.
08:50But otherwise,
08:52I've always been more of a lover
08:55rather than a fighter.
08:57And I've done well as a lawyer.
08:59But I did not earn those billions.
09:03I inherited them
09:05from generations.
09:08I'm dickheads.
09:10When you meet a girl,
09:12it's a total package.
09:14You just want to be her total package, too.
09:17You really are ridiculous.
09:20You know, I have laughed more with you
09:22in the past two weeks
09:24than I have in my entire life.
09:26I'm way too serious, Griffin.
09:28Sometimes I forget how to let go.
09:30But with you, every day is fun.
09:33So, does that mean you forgive me?
09:36I'm thinking about it.
09:41Yeah.
09:43You think too much.
09:44Time for make-up sex.
09:50So, that's make-up sex.
09:53Yeah.
09:58Griffin, it hurts so much
10:00thinking we were over.
10:02I never want to feel like that again.
10:04I promise not to let anything
10:06get in between us.
10:14This changes everything.
10:16No, thanks for the heads up.
10:18I'd appreciate it if you could
10:20keep it buried for as long as possible.
10:29Run.
10:32I want to stay right here.
10:34Okay.
10:42Where the hell are you, Griff?
10:44This is DEFCON 1.
10:46Hey, man.
10:48Seriously? That's all you have to say?
10:50Seriously? That's all you have to say?
10:55Come on.
11:01How could you keep something like this from me?
11:02We've known each other since college.
11:04What are you talking about?
11:06Didn't you get any of my texts or calls?
11:08I must have forgot to charge it.
11:11I had quite a night last night.
11:13Shelby and I made up.
11:15She's forgiven me.
11:17Well, she won't forgive you for this.
11:20You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy.
11:26Michelle Lane.
11:28I don't even know who that is.
11:30Well, you knew her well enough
11:31to marry her three years ago.
11:35This can't be right.
11:37I got it from a parish clerk.
11:39She's agreed to keep it hush-hush for now.
11:41The ceremony was conducted at a church.
11:43The priest signed and completed
11:45the marriage certificate.
11:47Father Timothy O'Shea.
11:52I now pronounce ye man and wife.
11:55The masked girl from Mardi Gras.
11:58I finally know her name.
11:59Michelle.
12:01Shit.
12:03That finally makes sense.
12:05Of course, you wouldn't knowingly
12:06become a bigamist.
12:08Shelby.
12:10Fuck.
12:12What am I gonna tell her?
12:14Look, it could still be one big mistake.
12:16I need to talk to that priest.
12:24I have something for you.
12:29I hacked into the parish database.
12:31Griffin Roy is legally married
12:33to both Michelle Lane
12:35and Shelby Trudeau.
12:37That's it.
12:39He's finished.
12:41Griffin Roy will be in jail
12:43for bigamy for cocktail hour.
12:45Michelle Lane is Shelby Trudeau.
12:48They're legally married to each other
12:50on two separate occasions.
12:52They just don't know it yet.
12:54That's insane.
12:56Check the date.
12:58They got married the first time
13:00during Mardi Gras.
13:02Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated.
13:04We could use that angle.
13:06Yeah, the romance is already trending.
13:08He made an idiot of himself
13:10with that boombox and voters.
13:12Oh.
13:14They're just eating it up.
13:16He's catching up in the polls.
13:18Now Roy unknowingly marries twice
13:21the girl he's been searching for
13:23since Mardi Gras.
13:25This will make them seem
13:26like some faded love story.
13:31This will make them seem
13:33like some faded love story.
13:36We got nothing on him.
13:39Honey, we've got everything we need.
13:42What they don't know
13:44can definitely hurt them.
13:46And right now, to Griffin Roy,
13:48Michelle Lane could be anybody.
13:52You would have given Machiavelli
13:54a run for his money, my dear.
13:56Who?
14:00Well, we have a very limited
14:02window to make this work.
14:04We will hit hard
14:06or hit fast.
14:11What is she going to say
14:13when I tell her I'm married?
14:16All right, ladies, good job.
14:18That's it for tonight.
14:20Remember, this weekend's Mardi Gras.
14:22Have fun.
14:24But you know what to do
14:25when I'm with you.
14:27Nice work.
14:29Hi.
14:31Hungry?
14:33Yeah, so
14:35today's class went super well.
14:37Two new students.
14:39They really seem to pick up
14:41on a lot of things.
14:43You're everything I've ever wanted.
14:45Everything I didn't even dare to dream.
14:47You're it for me.
14:49I can't lose you.
14:51Griffin, are you okay?
14:53Yeah.
14:55I want to help.
14:57LaRoche can't win.
14:59He and Isabel are evil.
15:01You're the kind of man that people need.
15:03I can't imagine
15:05anyone else but myself.
15:07I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
15:09We will plan a siege
15:11that surrounds them from all sides.
15:13That sounds amazing, Cheryl.
15:22Father?
15:25I remember the two of you.
15:27You had it, lad.
15:29That special spark.
15:31I don't see it often in couples,
15:33but when I do,
15:35it makes an impression.
15:37You must be mistaken.
15:39This woman and I,
15:41we'd met that day.
15:43And you were already
15:45finishing each other's sentences,
15:47dying to tie the knot.
15:49There was no stopping you.
15:51I was drunk.
15:53Drunk with love.
15:54I had a 24-hour waiting period.
15:56Unless the judge waves it.
15:58Son of a bitch.
16:00Who was it?
16:02He was your best man.
16:04You called him Remy.
16:06Remy Cal,
16:08that bastard.
16:10No wonder he always had that
16:12stupid smirk on his face
16:14whenever I stood before him in court.
16:16Fuck!
16:18Fuck!
16:20I don't care.
16:22I don't care.
16:23Get rid of her, Pickle.
16:25Because in my book,
16:27you love Joe the wife as well.
16:32Sir,
16:34Mrs. Array is in your office
16:36with Mr. Durand.
16:38Shelby.
16:42Griffin,
16:44this is the woman you've been looking for.
16:46This is Michelle Lane.
16:48Hi, Griffin.
16:50You might not remember me,
16:51but we met a few years ago.
16:58So you've been an escort for seven years.
17:01That's right, since high school.
17:03And that really is your toddler?
17:05My baby girl Fleur.
17:07She has no daddy.
17:09This will be good for her.
17:13If I may ask,
17:15how will she pass the DNA test?
17:17That is the least of your worries.
17:19All right, chop chop.
17:21Now, action.
17:25Hi, Griffin.
17:27You might not remember me,
17:29but we got married three years ago.
17:31It was Mardi Gras.
17:33We were completely wasted
17:35and we ended up in some church
17:37with an Irish priest.
17:39We had a wild night at the hotel
17:41and well,
17:43Fleur was the happy accident
17:45nine months later.
17:48It can't be true.
17:49It can't be true.
17:51I've never met you in my life.
17:53I mean, you were wearing masks.
17:55Yes, that's right. We were.
17:57By the time I found out I was pregnant,
17:59two months had passed.
18:01I've been trying to find you ever since,
18:03but it wasn't until I saw one of your ads for Congress
18:05that I recognized your voice.
18:07It was a miracle.
18:09It's too much. She's losing him.
18:11Tone it down.
18:13Tone it down.
18:16Listen, Lydia,
18:17I don't know who you're trying to con
18:19with this act.
18:21Griffin, don't.
18:23But there is no way in hell
18:25that I'm married to you.
18:27What's going on, Griffin?
18:29Is this woman really your wife?
18:34No, she's not.
18:36We don't know.
18:38Which is it?
18:40You are my wife.
18:42Only you.
18:44I understand this is a lot to take in.
18:45Fleur and I will just go.
18:47I'll have my lawyer reach out.
18:49No. No lawyers.
18:51We don't need to involve any authorities.
18:53This can all be solved
18:55with a simple DNA test.
18:57Pierce, this woman is a fraud.
18:59Griffin, think about it.
19:01She says Fleur is your daughter.
19:03One little test,
19:05and that'll prove if she's lying or not.
19:07We need to know, Griffin.
19:09I need to know.
19:11Fine.
19:13But I don't want these doubts to fester.
19:15Watch the DNA results
19:17and get them back in a few hours.
19:19Might I suggest a more private setting?
19:21Less eyes.
19:23Understood.
19:25We can wait back at my house
19:27for the results to come.
19:33We've got him.
19:35You're up.
19:45Bye.
19:49Bye.
20:05Cute kid.
20:07Don't.
20:09Just don't.
20:11Shelby go upstairs?
20:13She fed them snacks
20:15and locked herself in the guest room.
20:19I can't lose her, Pierce.
20:22I won't.
20:32Moment of truth, buddy.
20:45Fleur,
20:47meet your daddy.
20:49I will, of course,
20:51provide for you both financially.
20:54Fleur doesn't need a checkbook.
20:56She needs a father.
21:15What do you want?
21:17The guest bedroom is empty.
21:20You and Fleur can stay there.
21:24Shelby,
21:26just
21:27don't do this.
21:29Just give me some time.
21:31I can fix it.
21:33This isn't something you fix.
21:35You can't be legally married
21:36to two women at the same time
21:37and you have a child
21:38with one of them.
21:40I can't do this.
21:42I can't.
21:44Two women at the same time
21:45and you have a child
21:46with one of them.
21:49We need to get a divorce.
21:54She's right, Griff.
21:56Griffin, you have a daughter now.
21:58You're a father
21:59and you have to put
22:00your child first.
22:02I can't be Margot.
22:04I won't do that
22:05to another little girl.
22:08I've spent my whole life
22:10looking for you.
22:11How can I let you go?
22:17Sometimes love isn't enough.
22:23How'd you know Shelby
22:24was leaving because of the kid?
22:26Shelby's dedicated her life
22:27to saving people.
22:28It's not in her nature
22:29to put herself first.
22:31Oh,
22:32you're a scary woman.
22:34I know.
22:35I know.
22:40Hi, um,
22:41check your name
22:42for Shelby Trudeau.
22:43We've been expecting you,
22:44Miss Trudeau.
22:51So this is what it feels like
22:52to have your heart shattered?
23:05I'm so sorry.
23:35That's strange.
23:37I thought I heard something.
24:05It's like she was
24:06never here.
24:17Hey, mister.
24:19Hey.
24:21Hey.
24:23Hey.
24:25Hey.
24:27Hey.
24:29Hey.
24:31Hey.
24:33Hey.
24:34Hey.
24:36Will you
24:37marry me?
24:39She took everything
24:40but left this behind.
24:42Message received,
24:43Shelby.
24:54What the hell is this?
24:57I know this sounds crazy
24:58and there's no time
24:59to explain.
