00:00:00Shelby Trudeau must be married by five o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:05I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau. I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:08Who's gonna marry you anyhow? The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:00:13All right, let's get married.
00:00:15I can't keep living in the past. Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:00:20Why can't you just tell her it's your place? You're a public figure.
00:00:23How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:00:25The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a boy. She liked me for me, and I want that again.
00:00:29You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:00:33Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:00:36I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:00:39How pathetic and pointless. Look how in love we are.
00:00:42Sometimes I forget how to let go. But with you, every day is fun.
00:00:47Actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:00:50You are Roy's secret bride. A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:00:56We need to get a divorce.
00:00:57I mean, I've spent my whole life looking for you.
00:01:00Sometimes love isn't enough.
00:01:04Could it be?
00:01:06It's her. It's always been her.
00:01:08How could it be so blind?
00:01:27I'm bored.
00:01:30According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married by five o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:41That unladied-like girl is not my daughter.
00:01:44Bad enough I'm her stepmother.
00:01:46Ryan, hello. We want Shelby to know show. That's the way we get everything.
00:01:58I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau. I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:02:03Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.
00:02:05And dressed in your old uniform.
00:02:07Pathetic.
00:02:08Still trying to play hero.
00:02:10I'm in the Army Reserve now, Cece. I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:02:15The will, please.
00:02:17Ooh, the Army Reserve.
00:02:20Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier.
00:02:23The Army Reserve.
00:02:25Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier.
00:02:27No one would have missed you.
00:02:29Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:02:33You don't have to respect me, but don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on the battlefield.
00:02:39Look around, Cece. Your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:02:43Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
00:02:47You have freedom and peace because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:02:54Of course. The will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:03:00And I want to thank you for your service.
00:03:07Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours only if signed by both you and your spouse.
00:03:16That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:19Tick tock.
00:03:23Tick tock.
00:03:33Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:03:35I'll give up your inheritance and I'll give you one percent.
00:03:38Better than nothing.
00:03:41You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:03:43You will not take what he left me.
00:03:46And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.
00:03:51Really, Shelby? Who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:03:55The last guy you even slept with was a one night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:04:12Don't. Keep the mystery.
00:04:16You've already lost, Shelby. Take the one percent I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:04:22Right. You're not even going to find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:04:28Watch me.
00:04:33Watch me.
00:04:46Don't worry.
00:04:57He looks single.
00:04:59Oh my God, this is totally FUBAR.
00:05:02Suck it up, soldier. You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:05:09Hey, mister.
00:05:11Will you marry me?
00:05:14Yes.
00:05:22I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain.
00:05:25But if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
00:05:29Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:32So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:05:34Do I look like a homeless person there?
00:05:36Priceless.
00:05:39Shelby Trudeau, are you insane?
00:05:41You can't marry this...
00:05:43Elbow.
00:05:46Shelby Trudeau, the late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:05:50That's right. The judge said she was a soldier.
00:05:53He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:05:56Here's a few bucks.
00:05:58Take it and get lost. Don't meddle in our business.
00:06:01Don't speak to him like that.
00:06:03He's a person with feelings.
00:06:06The Cinderella Tale. Complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister.
00:06:11It's clear who deserves my help.
00:06:13And the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:06:16All right. Let's get married.
00:06:20THE CINDERELLA TALE
00:06:33Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:35Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:38And your name is?
00:06:40Griffin Roy.
00:06:49Congratulations.
00:07:03And congratulations, you lovebirds.
00:07:15This isn't over. Tell her!
00:07:20Sergeant Trudeau. Mrs. Roy.
00:07:23You have to stay married for at least one full year
00:07:27or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.
00:07:31You hear that, Shelby?
00:07:33You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:45I guess we'll need to keep in touch.
00:07:47I guess we'll need to keep in touch.
00:07:49But you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:07:53Once the estate gets settled and I have the money,
00:07:56we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job.
00:07:59When most people get what they want, they usually just walk away.
00:08:03I'm not most people.
00:08:06I see that.
00:08:09I've got to return this.
00:08:11Goodbye for now.
00:08:14Goodbye, wife.
00:08:28Where the hell have you been?
00:08:31Where the hell have you been?
00:08:47Gotcha.
00:08:48Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:08:53This DNA, it attributes to you.
00:08:57This DNA, get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:09:00Look, as your campaign manager,
00:09:02I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:09:06You'll never catch LaRose dumpster diving.
00:09:12Marrying Isabel was the best decision of my life.
00:09:17You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago,
00:09:21you got a package deal.
00:09:23Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor,
00:09:26playboy lawyer, best.
00:09:29This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:09:32In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women.
00:09:36You want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:09:38Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:09:42It's not just some girl.
00:09:44We had a connection.
00:09:46Never had that before.
00:09:53Look, I gotta run.
00:09:55But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
00:09:59Someone real.
00:10:00Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:10:04I love you.
00:10:21Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:10:24It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:10:27All right, guys, that's class.
00:10:29Nice work.
00:10:35So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:10:38I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:10:43Who knows how many other women he's done this to.
00:10:46So I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place and confront him in person.
00:10:53What's holding you back?
00:10:54Andre's no regular guy, Shelby.
00:10:56He's got a bro pack.
00:10:58These men are like wolves with money.
00:11:00Let's go.
00:11:02We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:23What's your name?
00:11:24I'm Stephanie.
00:11:26How about a drink, huh?
00:11:27Oh, that's okay.
00:11:28Come on, one little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:31Okay, one drink.
00:11:32Really, Pierce?
00:11:33This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:11:37You want to beat LaRoche?
00:11:38You got to mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:11:47I can't believe I slept with that.
00:11:50What was I thinking?
00:11:52I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:11:54I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
00:11:58It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
00:12:05Thanks.
00:12:06That creep.
00:12:08You dickless loser.
00:12:18Drugging girls to get laid.
00:12:20What the fuck?
00:12:21Get out of my house, skank.
00:12:23I'm the skank?
00:12:25That's funny.
00:12:26You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:12:28Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:12:31Unless you're back for more, I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:12:35You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:12:37I just told you that you have chlamydia, and you...
00:12:40Oh, my God.
00:12:42You already know you have it.
00:12:44And you don't care.
00:12:47Ladies, Andre Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
00:12:57What is she doing here?
00:12:59Both of you, get out of here.
00:13:05Oh, shit.
00:13:07She can't know who I am yet.
00:13:13Do you know who I am?
00:13:15I don't care.
00:13:21Where did she come from?
00:13:23That's my wife.
00:13:24Isn't she amazing?
00:13:25And she's gonna cost you, Andre, once he finds out you're married to her.
00:13:28I don't care.
00:13:29You think you can crash my party and put that ninja shit on me?
00:13:33You are one dead bitch.
00:13:46Nice.
00:13:47Did you see that combo?
00:13:48Dude, she can fight. Look at her form, man.
00:13:56Dude, she can really fight, man.
00:13:58You are hopeless.
00:14:00Hey, swap me jackets. I'll give you my Rolex.
00:14:26Fuck you, Roy!
00:14:28I'll do everything I can to end you!
00:14:30We should get out of here.
00:14:31Yeah, yeah.
00:14:32Come on.
00:14:36Get him!
00:14:39You lied to me.
00:14:40You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:42Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
00:14:44You were next to a dumpster. That's not much of a leap.
00:14:47What were you doing at this party?
00:14:49Working the room.
00:14:50Oh.
00:14:51I thought you were one of those asshole rich guys.
00:14:55I'm sorry. I hope I didn't cost you your job.
00:14:58I know how you can make it up to me.
00:15:00Have dinner with me.
00:15:04My place is nearby.
00:15:05I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
00:15:07Wow. A wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:15:11I'm one lucky man.
00:15:13Don't push it.
00:15:22Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:28This is nice. I haven't had a home cooked meal in a long time.
00:15:33It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.
00:15:35How long were you in the military?
00:15:37Seven years. I joined right after high school.
00:15:40My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.
00:15:43You weren't close with your father?
00:15:46I was. He was my hero.
00:15:50Until he wasn't.
00:15:52He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:15:54He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
00:15:58It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:16:00That must have been really hard for you.
00:16:03It was harder on my mom.
00:16:05She didn't want anything to do with him so I cut him off too.
00:16:08Even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:16:10But then three years ago he reached out, told me he was sick, so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:16:15Here I am.
00:16:17Here you are.
00:16:18Enough about me.
00:16:20What's your story, Gryffinroy?
00:16:25Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:16:27We know you're in there, Shelby. The light is on.
00:16:30We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:33We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:36Hey. I'll handle this.
00:16:40Oh. I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling, but it's just you two.
00:16:46And you are?
00:16:47That's the homeless guy that Shelby married.
00:16:49What are you doing here?
00:16:51Why wouldn't Gryffin be here?
00:16:53He's my husband, after all.
00:16:55Mama, what are we going to do? We need to challenge the will.
00:16:58But how can we do that if they're still together?
00:17:00Shut up, Cece.
00:17:01Oh. I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:17:05How pathetic.
00:17:06How pathetic and pointless.
00:17:08Look how in love we are.
00:17:10Well, we're back.
00:17:12Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:17:16Right. We're going to shred that will and your shame of marriage in no time.
00:17:30Margo and Cece are going to be a problem.
00:17:32There's no way they'll let us be.
00:17:34There's no way they'll let us be.
00:17:36What if we moved in together?
00:17:39You want to live here?
00:17:41No. Somewhere with better security.
00:17:44Like my place.
00:17:46Sure. I'm dying to see where you live.
00:17:55So let me get this straight. You told her you're house-sitting?
00:17:59That's right. Said I was going to watch the house while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:18:04You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:06Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:12I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.
00:18:15That's very flattering, but you don't know anything about me.
00:18:18I know you take my breath away.
00:18:20And I know that I would wonder for the rest of my life if I didn't take this chance.
00:18:25Even if it was only for one night.
00:18:27Maybe it's better this way.
00:18:30No names, no past.
00:18:33We can just be ourselves.
00:18:35I'd like that very much.
00:18:38The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
00:18:41She liked me for me.
00:18:43And I want that again, Pierce.
00:18:46Even for a little while.
00:18:49STASH
00:18:55Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.
00:18:58Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:19:01A lot of people know who you are.
00:19:03How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:19:05I don't know.
00:19:07But I have a chance to be with someone without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
00:19:11Well, just remember.
00:19:13We're about to launch a multi-platform campaign.
00:19:16In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboards, your face is about to be everywhere.
00:19:22Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.
00:19:27STASH
00:19:46This place is insane. The owner must really trust you.
00:19:49Yep. We're pretty tight.
00:19:53Here, let me show you to your room.
00:19:57STASH
00:20:01I can't keep living in the past.
00:20:04Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:20:08STASH
00:20:13Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:20:21I take it things are going well with Xena Warrior Princess.
00:20:24Oh, she's so exciting and competitive.
00:20:26Keeps me on my toes.
00:20:28And so damn beautiful.
00:20:30Face sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
00:20:32When do I get to meet her?
00:20:34Her military background and work with actress women will be a real asset for both female and male voters.
00:20:39Dial it back, Pierce. We're in the early stages.
00:20:42Alright, well, don't take too long.
00:20:44You married her for the campaign.
00:20:46And it's not like she can dump you once she finds out.
00:20:49She needs you for her inheritance.
00:20:53STASH
00:21:00Good.
00:21:06Hey.
00:21:07I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:21:09Oh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:11Did you mind that I got a woman? I'm talking food here.
00:21:14Alright, in that case, surprise me.
00:21:17Trust me, I'm full of surprises.
00:21:20I bet you are.
00:21:32Gotcha, sis.
00:21:34So this is where you've been hiding out.
00:21:37Hehehehehehehehe
00:21:47Did you want some of my wine?
00:22:07I turned off your alarm.
00:22:09You obviously needed to sleep.
00:22:11We can run tonight.
00:22:13P.S. You snore.
00:22:15But it's super cute.
00:22:17I do not snore, Gryffinroy.
00:22:19I do not snore, Gryffinroy.
00:22:21I do not snore, Gryffinroy.
00:22:23Super cute.
00:22:24I do not snore, Gryffinroy.
00:22:42What are you doing in a place like this?
00:22:44I live here.
00:22:46When did you move in?
00:22:47Um, last week. We're house-sitting.
00:22:49Yeah, I have heard that one before.
00:22:51Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.
00:22:53Thieves are always trying to break in.
00:22:55Who are you calling a thief?
00:22:57Please step out. Now!
00:23:01What the hell are you doing?
00:23:03Just routine inspection.
00:23:07Let's see what else you're hiding here.
00:23:17Get your filthy hands off my wife!
00:23:19What?
00:23:25Oh, cool.
00:23:27I thought I was saving you,
00:23:29but it looks like you got it.
00:23:31Oh, look out!
00:23:35Damn, lady.
00:23:37You make it look easy.
00:23:39Are you hurt?
00:23:41Just my pride.
00:23:43Yeah, looks like you get a flat.
00:23:45Let's get out of here.
00:23:47Take my car.
00:23:49This is yours?
00:23:51Borrowed it from a friend.
00:23:53Right.
00:23:57I know all the guards who work here,
00:23:59and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:01Who the hell are you, man?
00:24:03Some kind of big shot or something?
00:24:05Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.
00:24:09Alright.
00:24:11You're under arrest.
00:24:13What the hell is going on?
00:24:17Well, that didn't go as planned.
00:24:19Mama, this is all your fault.
00:24:21You pushed me to hire those thugs
00:24:23to humiliate Shelby,
00:24:25and now my money's wasted
00:24:27and she got off scot-free.
00:24:29Eyes on the prize, Cece.
00:24:31Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate,
00:24:33this'll be pocket change.
00:24:35Yeah, and who would've thought
00:24:37that bum would've got the police
00:24:39involved in all this mess?
00:24:41I don't believe he's a bum.
00:24:43I mean, how can a homeless man
00:24:45be so clever?
00:24:47No matter whether he's a tramp or not,
00:24:49he married Shelby for her money.
00:24:51Offer him a better deal
00:24:53and he'll leave her.
00:24:55We annul the marriage and claim
00:24:57the entire estate.
00:24:59Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox
00:25:01the porter party billionaire
00:25:03looking for a new gigolo?
00:25:05That old cougar?
00:25:07Oh, Cece, honey, when they're that age,
00:25:09they're not cougars.
00:25:11They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:15Ha ha ha!
00:25:17Well, then we just gotta
00:25:19make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25:27You really should've iced these right away.
00:25:29I realize that now.
00:25:31I've only ever sparred with
00:25:33gloves on, never thrown a bare-knuckle
00:25:35punch before.
00:25:37What?
00:25:39Did I just hand in my
00:25:41man card?
00:25:43You knocked a guy out with one punch.
00:25:45Your man card is fully intact.
00:25:47You just sounded like a
00:25:49prep school rich boy for a second.
00:25:55Not just for today, but
00:25:57for everything.
00:25:59It's been really lonely since my dad died,
00:26:01and it's nice having
00:26:03someone on my side.
00:26:05There's no need to thank me.
00:26:07I am your husband.
00:26:09Close your eyes.
00:26:13Okay.
00:26:15Fair is fair.
00:26:17I owe you one.
00:26:43Sorry.
00:26:45I know we're just
00:26:47pretending.
00:26:49Right.
00:26:51Pretending.
00:26:55I'm gonna...
00:26:57I'm gonna go for a run.
00:26:59Okay, I'll come with...
00:27:05What if it's just me?
00:27:07Wouldn't that be ironic?
00:27:09The first woman I'm into for so long
00:27:11is an enemy. Fuck!
00:27:27Griffin kissed me,
00:27:29and it felt just like that night
00:27:31three years ago.
00:27:33What's wrong with me?
00:27:35How can I feel the exact same way
00:27:37for two different men?
00:27:41I don't know.
00:27:43He looks like a wet street dog.
00:27:45I'll shower and a haircut,
00:27:47and he'll be marginally presentable.
00:27:49Hey!
00:27:51You!
00:27:55We got a proposition for you.
00:27:57How'd you like to be richer
00:27:59than you ever imagined?
00:28:01Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
00:28:03Get in.
00:28:05Are you sure he's not homeless?
00:28:07He eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:09So you want me to
00:28:11divorce Shelby
00:28:13and marry
00:28:15Victoria Wilcox,
00:28:17the shithouse billionaire?
00:28:21I don't think so.
00:28:23I don't think so.
00:28:25I don't think so.
00:28:27I don't think so.
00:28:29I don't think so.
00:28:31I don't think so.
00:28:33I don't think so.
00:28:37You will refer to them
00:28:39as port-a-parties, young man.
00:28:41We know you're
00:28:43after Shelby's inheritance,
00:28:45but she's never gonna see it.
00:28:47Well,
00:28:49he'll do.
00:28:53Oh,
00:28:55he'll do just nicely.
00:28:59Wait a minute.
00:29:01Have we met before?
00:29:03Because you look real familiar.
00:29:05Oh, no.
00:29:07Nope, I don't think I run in your kinds of circles,
00:29:09Miss Wilcox.
00:29:11The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:17The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:19And you will also be paid
00:29:2120 grand a month to provide
00:29:23intimate services
00:29:25of a sexual nature.
00:29:27Hmm.
00:29:29Oh, you don't need to worry, boy,
00:29:31because I have the libido
00:29:33of a 26-year-old.
00:29:49I don't understand. This says...
00:29:51You're under arrest for pandering.
00:29:55Detective McSwain,
00:29:57this woman has tried to recruit me
00:29:59as a sex worker.
00:30:01That's a Class C felony.
00:30:03He's lying.
00:30:07And you will also be paid 20 grand a month
00:30:09to provide
00:30:11intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:30:17Detective, Detective,
00:30:19there must be some misunderstanding.
00:30:21There's no nonsense going on here.
00:30:23No, you can't arrest me on the word of that bum.
00:30:25He set me up.
00:30:27Detective McSwain, it's getting late.
00:30:29I'd like to go home and see my wife.
00:30:37Wait.
00:30:39You have made a big mistake
00:30:41rejecting me.
00:30:43I'm a woman of wealth
00:30:45and power that you cannot fathom.
00:30:47I will make you pay very dearly
00:30:49for this.
00:30:51I don't think anyone mentioned my last name.
00:30:53It's Roy.
00:30:59Well,
00:31:01I knew you looked familiar, you see.
00:31:03I'm just an old woman.
00:31:05You could forgive me.
00:31:07Get out of my face.
00:31:11Pardon me.
00:31:15Alright, we got her in the car.
00:31:17How far do you want this to go?
00:31:19Put the fear of God in there.
00:31:21Long shot, fingerprints, the works.
00:31:23Then in the morning, drop the charges
00:31:25before the press gets wind.
00:31:27Here, so to have your hide.
00:31:29You got it, Griff.
00:31:41Where have you been?
00:31:43I was worried you were gone so long.
00:31:45Yeah?
00:31:47Yeah.
00:31:49Uh, are you hungry?
00:31:51I can heat up some leftovers.
00:31:53Yeah, I'd like that.
00:31:57Did that just happen?
00:31:59Maybe I have a shot with her after all.
00:32:11My poor baby.
00:32:13My little girl.
00:32:15I will never forget
00:32:17the humiliation that man has caused us.
00:32:19Don't you worry, Mama.
00:32:21I have a plan.
00:32:23I had all night to think about it in that cold,
00:32:25the hard cell.
00:32:27If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby,
00:32:29fine.
00:32:31We'll just force Shelby to divorce him.
00:32:33And I know just
00:32:35where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:39He's amazing.
00:32:47I love you.
00:32:55I think we shaved
00:32:5730 seconds off that time.
00:32:59I thought I was competitive.
00:33:01You even compete with yourself.
00:33:11You're not growing.
00:33:13You're dying.
00:33:15I, um,
00:33:17I'm gonna go shower.
00:33:19Me too.
00:33:23Get a grip, Shelby.
00:33:25So he's hot.
00:33:27You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
00:33:29What makes him any different?
00:33:31He just is.
00:33:37Hey, Zara.
00:33:39Shelby, you have to get here right away.
00:33:41Buford's kicking us out the gym.
00:33:45I'm sorry.
00:33:47My hands are tied.
00:33:51He says we have to leave.
00:33:53Okay, I got this.
00:33:55Mr. Buford, what are you doing?
00:33:57This is my place of business.
00:33:59You're done here.
00:34:01I sold the building.
00:34:03The new owners want you out.
00:34:05That's illegal. I have a lease.
00:34:07They've got a break clause for new management,
00:34:09and they've decided to activate it.
00:34:11Who the hell is they?
00:34:13That would be us.
00:34:17Well, if we can take it from here.
00:34:19Sure thing.
00:34:21Pleasure doing business with you, ladies.
00:34:23I know you used all your army money
00:34:25for this gym,
00:34:27but you can get it back.
00:34:29All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.
00:34:31Get a divorce,
00:34:33give up your inheritance,
00:34:35and then you can keep your
00:34:37dinky, smelly gym.
00:34:43I bet you want to hit me so bad.
00:34:45Not so tough now, are you, Shelby?
00:34:47Screw you.
00:34:49I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:34:51Oops, sorry.
00:34:53The building is now closed for...
00:34:55renovation.
00:34:57And everything inside now belongs to me.
00:34:59Of course,
00:35:01you could sue,
00:35:03but that would take months.
00:35:05Well,
00:35:07what would happen to your gym now, Shelby?
00:35:09That's blackmail.
00:35:11We like to call it capitalism.
00:35:13You don't sign, we close the gym,
00:35:15and then you lose everything.
00:35:17Think about what you're doing.
00:35:19This gym is a lifeline
00:35:21for so many women.
00:35:23I won't let you take it from them.
00:35:25You can beg,
00:35:27but I won't budge.
00:35:29Be a smart girl
00:35:31and sign the papers by tomorrow,
00:35:33or you can kiss your Valkyrie
00:35:35Fight Club goodbye.
00:35:37And watch us turn it into
00:35:39Valkyrie Strip Club.
00:35:41Isn't that a good idea?
00:35:43There's poles and everything.
00:35:45Plenty of girls.
00:35:47They're cute.
00:35:49They are cute.
00:35:51Cute enough.
00:36:01I'm not here because I give a damn if you win.
00:36:03I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy
00:36:05doesn't.
00:36:07Well, the enemy of my enemy
00:36:09is my friend.
00:36:11The fuck you say?
00:36:13What exactly did Roy do
00:36:15to earn your loathing?
00:36:17He partnered up against me
00:36:19with a She-Warrior.
00:36:21I want to see them both
00:36:23destroyed.
00:36:25Well, with your connections
00:36:27and my political might,
00:36:29I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:37LaRose got Andre.
00:36:39What are we going to do about this?
00:36:41Nothing.
00:36:43We do not want these two pairing up, alright?
00:36:45This is political suicide.
00:36:47Just talk to Shelby.
00:36:49Maybe if you both apologize...
00:36:51Um, hell no.
00:36:53Let them do their best.
00:36:55Mark my words, this is going to come back
00:36:57to bite you in the ass.
00:37:03Hello, Shelby.
00:37:05Griffin,
00:37:07we need to talk.
00:37:15Shelby? What's going on?
00:37:17You sounded tense
00:37:19on the phone.
00:37:21I have so many missed moments.
00:37:23Things I should have said or done.
00:37:25Chances that were lost
00:37:27that might have been pivotal to my life.
00:37:29I don't want you to be another moment
00:37:31that I miss.
00:37:35Okay.
00:37:45You first.
00:38:05You first.
00:38:35Okay.
00:38:53How was that?
00:38:55Fucking amazing.
00:39:05Griffin?
00:39:07Where are you going?
00:39:09Griffin?
00:39:11Griffin!
00:39:13Explain yourself.
00:39:15Toothbrush.
00:39:19PJ's.
00:39:21This is Jacques.
00:39:23Why?
00:39:25You're my wife. I sleep with you now.
00:39:27We probably should have talked this through.
00:39:29Yeah.
00:39:31You said you had
00:39:33missed moments.
00:39:35I've had them too.
00:39:37You will not be one of them.
00:39:39I know we said we were
00:39:41pretending, but
00:39:43I want to give us a chance.
00:39:45A real one.
00:39:47Oh?
00:40:03Fuck.
00:40:05Fuck.
00:40:07Fuck.
00:40:09Fuck.
00:40:11Fuck.
00:40:13Fuck.
00:40:15Fuck.
00:40:17Fuck.
00:40:19Fuck.
00:40:21Fuck.
00:40:23Fuck.
00:40:25Fuck.
00:40:27Fuck.
00:40:29Fuck.
00:40:32Fuck.
00:40:34I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:40:39Kiss the Bonnie lass, why don't ya?
00:40:57Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour.
00:40:59We can go over the divorce papers.
00:41:06Goodbye, my husband.
00:41:16I knew something must have happened.
00:41:24Hello?
00:41:25Pierce, I need you to use all your connections to find out what Cece and Margot Trudeau did to Shelby yesterday.
00:41:33Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.
00:41:37It's five in the morning.
00:41:39You have an hour.
00:41:45How did Cece get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?
00:41:49She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral.
00:41:52Stupid. Good for us, bad for them.
00:41:55And the property title?
00:41:57Still in escrow. The title hasn't been transferred yet.
00:42:00Make sure it is in your name.
00:42:03You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive.
00:42:07Oh, goody, goody.
00:42:13Talk to me, McSwain.
00:42:15I showed the fake guards in lockup Cece Trudeau's mugshot.
00:42:18You're right. She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife.
00:42:21How'd you know?
00:42:22Had her M.O. written all over it.
00:42:24I take it the kid gloves are off this time?
00:42:26Oh, yeah. Cece Trudeau thinks she's untouchable.
00:42:29Let's show her just how wrong she is.
00:42:40I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
00:42:43I definitely have.
00:42:45Showtime.
00:42:47I'm your campaign manager, not some hired muscle.
00:42:51Here's what I think about your agreement.
00:42:56Did you see that? Did you see that? She chose me, man.
00:42:59She chose me.
00:43:01Well, hell, looks like she did.
00:43:04You fucking bitch!
00:43:07That's her cue.
00:43:12Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby. You're going to lose everything.
00:43:15You know, at least I still have my self-respect, which is more than I can say for you.
00:43:19Don't be hasty, Cece. She's basically a man. You'll get hurt.
00:43:23I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine,
00:43:26but I will never agree to your demands.
00:43:30Reclaim what's yours?
00:43:32You're never going to step foot in your precious gym ever again.
00:43:38That will be difficult to enforce since I now own the building.
00:43:42Who the hell are you?
00:43:44Pierce Durand, the new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.
00:43:48What?
00:43:51Your deal fell out of escrow.
00:43:54I swooped in and bought it.
00:43:56That's impossible. I own it.
00:43:59Let me spell this out in a way that even an imbecile will understand.
00:44:03I outbid you. The building is mine.
00:44:06Now scram.
00:44:08I'm Emma.
00:44:10Ms. Trudeau, I want to ensure you that your lease is secure.
00:44:14The only change will be a 40% rent reduction.
00:44:18That's unbelievable. Are you sure you can afford that?
00:44:22Oh, yeah.
00:44:24Thank you, Mr. Durand.
00:44:26The gym means a lot to the women in this community.
00:44:35Cece Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion.
00:44:38The fake guards identified you as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau.
00:44:42Okay, well, but that was last week. You can't arrest me now.
00:44:45We most certainly can, and this time the charges won't be dropped.
00:44:49No! No! No! You can't take my girl!
00:44:52No, you can't take her!
00:44:54I'm coming after you. I'm never going to forget this when I get out.
00:44:57You're mine!
00:45:06Zara, call everyone.
00:45:09Call everyone.
00:45:11Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business.
00:45:20Well, aren't you going to go over there?
00:45:22You're the one that orchestrated this whole thing.
00:45:25No. It's her victory.
00:45:28I merely did what a husband shouldn't to ensure her happiness.
00:45:32That's my reward.
00:45:34That is some wild shit you just spouted.
00:45:36This girl is seriously causing you to lose your grip.
00:45:39You worry too much.
00:45:41And you don't worry enough.
00:45:43We have a campaign to win, and you're ten points behind LaRoche in all the latest polls.
00:45:47What are you driving at?
00:45:49Tell Shelby who you are.
00:45:51The voters need to know who your wife is, and we need to be able to shape the narrative.
00:45:55You wait too long, and Neville LaRoche is going to find out and beat us to it.
00:46:00Okay. I'll tell her.
00:46:03Just... I need a few more days of just me with her.
00:46:08Then I'll confess everything.
00:46:19That's Shelby Trudeau, owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
00:46:23Pretty girl.
00:46:25So who's she screwing?
00:46:27Duran or Roy?
00:46:28I don't know, sir.
00:46:30That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
00:46:33Those stuck-up twats kept going on and on about their precious lineages dating back to the Mayflower.
00:46:44Not everyone's white trash like you, Isabel.
00:46:49It is a wonder how you overcame your low-class origins and gained my interest.
00:46:56That wasn't your interest, darling. That was your cock.
00:47:00Touche, my dear.
00:47:02Why are you looking at a picture of her?
00:47:04Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:47:06Well, she went by Michelle in high school, but yeah, that's her.
00:47:11She was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school.
00:47:16From bullies like you, per se?
00:47:20Oh, that is unfortunate.
00:47:24You'll have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect.
00:47:28Neville, no.
00:47:29Me and your new bestie, Isabel.
00:47:31Shelby, no.
00:47:39It's cooling off. We should go inside.
00:47:43Just a few more minutes.
00:47:45I can't remember the last time I let myself just... be.
00:47:51Yeah.
00:47:52I guess when my parents were still together.
00:47:55Before the divorce, the cheating, Mom getting sick.
00:48:00I was carefree then.
00:48:02I joined the army after, but that was just another rollercoaster.
00:48:07It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory cutting off weapons supply routes.
00:48:13Well, I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:48:17It's not the place, it's the person.
00:48:20I feel like I've known you forever.
00:48:28Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:48:37I guess I can wait one more day.
00:48:40Our most sought after place at Valkyrie is our women's self-defense kickboxing.
00:48:48Sign me up.
00:48:50Oh shit, Isabel.
00:48:52The girl who made my life and everyone else's a living hell in high school.
00:48:56What sneaky B.S. is she up to?
00:48:59Oh my gosh, Michelle? Is that you?
00:49:02I go by Shelby now.
00:49:04Oh my gosh, Michelle? Is that you?
00:49:07I go by Shelby now.
00:49:08You look amazing.
00:49:10Michelle, Shelby, and I go way back.
00:49:14Gosh, what a small world.
00:49:17Well, for membership we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
00:49:21How about I pay up front for three years?
00:49:24And I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join.
00:49:28You know, if you're really serious about this, you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:49:35I was a mean girl in high school, and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:49:39What you've built here is so empowering.
00:49:43If 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.
00:49:54Shelby, can we start over? Would you let me try to make it right?
00:50:01Okay.
00:50:02Okay.
00:50:11This is so awesome!
00:50:13How about lunch? I'm free to grab a bite right now. We can catch up.
00:50:19Okay. Let me grab my bag.
00:50:21Get it back!
00:50:30Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign.
00:50:34He's pro-union and has a five-point plan to improve workplace safety regulations.
00:50:40Shit!
00:50:42No, no, not you. I gotta call you back.
00:50:52LaRoche knows about Shelby. He's sicked Isabelle on her. Look, here's her Instagram.
00:50:59What the fuck?
00:51:01LaRoche's oppo research must have tagged her.
00:51:03Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
00:51:05Screw the narrative. It's a trap.
00:51:07They've got my wife.
00:51:15I thought this was supposed to be a quick bite. I have a business to run, you know.
00:51:19You haven't changed a bit since high school. So dedicated. I've always admired that about you.
00:51:26Alright, cut the crap, Izzy. Others might buy your ladylike act, but I know you're still the same vicious bully inside.
00:51:34You didn't come to my gym by accident. What's your angle?
00:51:36Neville asked me to befriend you. I don't want to be here.
00:51:40So I can just add that to the list of reasons why I fucking loathe you.
00:51:46What's my angle, Shelby?
00:51:49The complete and utter destruction of Griffin Roy.
00:51:53And if I can take you down with him, all the better.
00:52:01Shelby, listen to me. The press are on their way. I don't have time to explain, but I fucked up.
00:52:06You have to get out of that restaurant. Now.
00:52:12Too late to run.
00:52:14Too late to run. My hubby's here.
00:52:16Leaving so soon, Ms. Trudeau. Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
00:52:24Come on, Shelby. Pick up. Let me know you got out of there.
00:52:29Who the hell are you?
00:52:30Congressman. Neville LaRoche. I understand why your husband probably never mentioned me.
00:52:36Seeing as how there's so much he hasn't told you. Please, sit down.
00:52:41Isabel was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived.
00:52:45No matter. We'll do this the less genteel way if we must.
00:52:52Both of these men are retired Navy SEALs. I've heard a lot about your fighting skills.
00:52:57So, I came prepared.
00:53:05What's this about?
00:53:08What's this about?
00:53:09I spoke with your stepmother. Margot. She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:15It seems Roy has led you to believe that he's some bone. On the streets.
00:53:20When actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state.
00:53:25I can't believe you fell for that. I'm not so smart now, are you, Shelby?
00:53:31You're lying.
00:53:32You are Roy's secret bride. A woman he is so ashamed of, he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world.
00:53:40When the press arrives, you will share your story of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana.
00:53:46So that they may know what kind of man Roy really is.
00:53:59Hey, I got you.
00:54:03Let me go.
00:54:05Shelby, please.
00:54:07Why did you keep your marriage a secret? The voters have a right to know. What else are you hiding?
00:54:12You son of a bitch.
00:54:14Now, Roy, don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes.
00:54:19Shelby, Shelby, please, hear me out.
00:54:22Don't shell me.
00:54:25All of your charm, it's just a lie.
00:54:28I never meant to let it get this far. I planned on coming clean.
00:54:32More lies, Gryphon Roy?
00:54:34I was going to tell you today.
00:54:36Convenient.
00:54:38I'm sorry.
00:54:40I'm sorry.
00:54:42I'm sorry.
00:54:44I'm sorry.
00:54:45I was going to tell you today.
00:54:46Convenient.
00:54:48Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start?
00:54:51Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
00:54:54That was always a possibility.
00:54:57Get away from my house.
00:54:59This is technically my home.
00:55:02God, how sitting my ass.
00:55:05You are the worst and I never want to see you again.
00:55:10Shelby.
00:55:16Professional candidate Gryphon Roy has a secret bride.
00:55:20Our reporter is...
00:55:45You got to get a sip of that?
00:56:16This is private property.
00:56:18Which I own.
00:56:19Liar.
00:56:20Pierce Durand owns this building.
00:56:22He works for me.
00:56:24Then I'll move.
00:56:25I don't want to owe you anything.
00:56:28I don't want to owe you anything.
00:56:43Oh Shelby, Shelby, come out would you please.
00:56:49I wake up in the morning and reach for you.
00:56:52But you're not there.
00:56:58I can't breathe at the thought of losing you.
00:57:04Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:08You're ridiculous.
00:57:09You do know that, don't you?
00:57:12Oh Shelby, Shelby.
00:57:14Don't leave me hanging.
00:57:16What are you doing?
00:57:17You're supposed to turn it on.
00:57:20Yeah.
00:57:21I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:24It's broken.
00:57:25It's broken.
00:57:26Guy totally scammed me.
00:57:29You are beyond ridiculous.
00:57:31Please Shelby, I didn't say what I wanted to before.
00:57:36Just give me a chance to explain.
00:57:41Fine.
00:57:42Come in you fool.
00:57:45I'll come in on my own.
00:57:51You have two minutes.
00:57:56Phew.
00:57:59Growing up as a Roy, no one ever liked me for me.
00:58:06It's always been about the money, the excess.
00:58:12Then at a moment, three years ago, where someone did like me, for me.
00:58:22They had no idea who I was.
00:58:24And I just remember how freeing it felt.
00:58:31So when I met you, and I felt that spark I've been searching for, I didn't think.
00:58:39I just fucking left.
00:58:42Why wait so long to tell me?
00:58:44I've never gone into enemy territory to cut off weapons supply routes.
00:58:51I boxed in prep school.
00:58:53Yep, you got that right.
00:58:55But otherwise, I've always been more of a lover, rather than a fighter.
00:59:02And I've done well as a lawyer.
00:59:04But I did not earn those billions.
00:59:08I inherited them from generations of dickheads.
00:59:16When you meet a girl who's a total package, you just want to be her total package too.
00:59:22You really are ridiculous.
00:59:25You know, I have laughed more with you in the past two weeks than I have in my entire life.
00:59:31I'm way too serious, Griffin.
00:59:33Sometimes I forget how to let go.
00:59:36But with you, every day is fun.
00:59:39So, does that mean you forgive me?
00:59:42I'm thinking about it.
00:59:46Yeah.
00:59:48You think too much.
00:59:49Time for makeup sex.
00:59:53So, that's makeup sex.
00:59:57Yeah.
01:00:01Griffin, it hurts so much thinking we were over.
01:00:05I know.
01:00:06I never want to feel like that again.
01:00:09I promise not to let anything get in between us.
01:00:18This changes everything.
01:00:20This changes everything.
01:00:23Elf, thanks for the heads up.
01:00:25I'd appreciate it if you could keep it buried for as long as possible.
01:00:36Run.
01:00:38I want to stay right here.
01:00:47Where the hell are you, Griff?
01:00:49This is DEF CON 1.
01:00:52Hey, man.
01:00:53Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:00:55Seriously? That's all you have to say?
01:01:01Come on.
01:01:06How could you keep something like this from me?
01:01:08We've known each other since college.
01:01:10What are you talking about?
01:01:11Didn't you get any of my texts or calls?
01:01:14I must have forgot to charge it.
01:01:17I had quite a night last night.
01:01:19Shelby and I made up.
01:01:21She's forgiven me.
01:01:22Well, she won't forgive you for this.
01:01:26You're a goddamn bigamist, Griffin Roy.
01:01:32Michelle Lane.
01:01:34I don't even know who that is.
01:01:36Well, you knew her well enough to marry her three years ago.
01:01:41This can't be right.
01:01:43I got it from a parish clerk.
01:01:44She's agreed to keep it hush-hush for now.
01:01:46The ceremony was conducted at a church.
01:01:49The priest signed and completed the marriage certificate.
01:01:53Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:01:58I now pronounce ye man and wife.
01:02:01The Masked Girl from Mardi Gras.
01:02:04I finally know her name.
01:02:06Michelle.
01:02:07Shit.
01:02:09That finally makes sense.
01:02:11Of course, you wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist.
01:02:14Shelby.
01:02:16Fuck.
01:02:18What am I gonna tell her?
01:02:19Look, it could still be one big mistake.
01:02:22I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:30I have something for you.
01:02:39I hacked into the parish database.
01:02:41Griffin Roy is legally married to both Michelle Lane and Shelby Trudeau.
01:02:46That's it. He's finished.
01:02:49Griffin Roy will be in jail for bigamy for cocktail hour.
01:02:54Michelle Lane is Shelby Trudeau.
01:02:57They're legally married to each other on two separate occasions.
01:03:00They just don't know it yet.
01:03:03That's insane.
01:03:04Check the date.
01:03:05They got married the first time during Mardi Gras.
01:03:08Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated. We could use that angle.
01:03:12Yeah, the romance is already trending.
01:03:15He made an idiot of himself with that boombox and voters.
01:03:19They're just eating it up.
01:03:22He's catching up in the polls.
01:03:25Now, Roy unknowingly marries twice.
01:03:28The girl he's been searching for since Mardi Gras.
01:03:31This will make them seem like some fated love story.
01:03:38We got nothing on him.
01:03:40Honey, we've got everything we need.
01:03:43What they don't know can definitely hurt them.
01:03:46And right now, to Griffin Roy, Michelle Lane could be anybody.
01:03:54You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money, my dear.
01:03:58Who?
01:04:02Well, I don't know.
01:04:03Who?
01:04:07Well, we have a very limited window to make this work.
01:04:11We will hit hard, but fast.
01:04:18What is she going to say when they tell her I'm married?
01:04:23Alright ladies, good job. That's it for tonight.
01:04:26Remember, this weekend's Mardi Gras.
01:04:28Have fun, but you know what to do if anybody messes with you.
01:04:31Nice work.
01:04:33Hi.
01:04:35Hungry?
01:04:38Yeah, so today's class went super well.
01:04:42Two new students. They really seem to pick up on a lot of things.
01:04:45You're everything I've ever wanted.
01:04:47Everything I didn't even dare to dream.
01:04:50You're it for me. I can't lose you.
01:04:53Griffin, are you okay?
01:04:56Yeah.
01:04:58Just some stuff with the campaign.
01:05:02I want to help.
01:05:04LaRoche can't win.
01:05:06He and Isabel are evil.
01:05:08You're the kind of man that people need.
01:05:10I can't imagine anyone else but myself.
01:05:13I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow.
01:05:15We will plan a siege that surrounds them from all sides.
01:05:19That sounds amazing, Cheryl.
01:05:28Father?
01:05:32I remember the two of you.
01:05:35You have it, lad. That special spark.
01:05:38I don't see it often in couples, but when I do, it makes an impression.
01:05:42You must be mistaken. This woman and I, we'd met that day.
01:05:47And you were already finishing each other's sentences, dying to tie the knot. There was no stopping you.
01:05:52I was drunk.
01:05:54Drunk with love. The man I married knew what he was doing.
01:05:58I mean, how is this even legal?
01:05:59New Orleans has a 24-hour waiting period.
01:06:02Unless the judge waives it.
01:06:04Son of a bitch. Who was it?
01:06:06He was your best man. You called him Remy.
01:06:09Remy Cal... that bastard.
01:06:12No wonder he always had that stupid smirk on his face whenever I stood before him in court.
01:06:18Fuck!
01:06:20Fuck!
01:06:24I don't care. I don't care.
01:06:26We need to annul the marriage now. I love my wife.
01:06:29You're in a bit of a pickle.
01:06:31Because in my book, you love Joe the wife as well.
01:06:38Sir.
01:06:40Mrs. Rose in your office with Mr. Durand.
01:06:43Shelby.
01:06:48Griffin, this is the woman you've been looking for.
01:06:51This is Michelle Lane.
01:06:54Hi, Griffin.
01:06:56You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:00Yeah.
01:07:05So you've been an escort for seven years.
01:07:08That's right. Since high school.
01:07:10And that really is your toddler?
01:07:12My baby girl Fleur. She has no daddy. This will be good for her.
01:07:19If I may ask, how will she pass the DNA test?
01:07:22That is the least of your worries.
01:07:25Alright, chop chop.
01:07:30Now action.
01:07:34Hi, Griffin.
01:07:36You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago.
01:07:39It was Mardi Gras.
01:07:41We were completely wasted and we ended up in some church with an Irish priest.
01:07:45We had a wild night at the hotel.
01:07:48And well, Fleur was the happy accident nine months later.
01:07:56It can't be true.
01:07:57It can't be true.
01:07:59I've never met you in my life.
01:08:01I mean, you were wearing masks.
01:08:03Yes, that's right. We were.
01:08:05By the time I found out I was pregnant, two months had passed.
01:08:08I've been trying to find you ever since, but it wasn't until I saw one of your ads for Congress that I recognized your voice.
01:08:14It was a miracle.
01:08:16It's too much. She's losing him.
01:08:19Tone it down. Tone it down.
01:08:22Listen, lady, I don't know who you're trying to con with this act.
01:08:27Griffin, don't.
01:08:29But there is no way in hell that I'm married to you.
01:08:33What's going on, Griffin?
01:08:36Is this woman really your wife?
01:08:42No, she's not. We don't know.
01:08:45Which is it?
01:08:47You are my wife. Only you.
01:08:49I understand this is a lot to take in.
01:08:52Fleur and I will just go. I'll have my lawyer reach out.
01:08:56No. No lawyers.
01:08:58We don't need to involve any authorities.
01:09:00This can all be solved with a simple DNA test.
01:09:04Pierce, this woman is a fraud.
01:09:07Griffin, think about it.
01:09:09She says Fleur is your daughter.
01:09:11One little test and that'll prove if she's lying or not.
01:09:13We need to know, Griffin.
01:09:15I need to know.
01:09:16Fine. But I don't want these doubts to fester.
01:09:19We can rush the DNA results and get them back in a few hours.
01:09:22Might I suggest a more private setting?
01:09:25Less ice.
01:09:27Understood.
01:09:29We can wait back at my house for the results to come.
01:09:37We've got him. You're up.
01:09:46Hi.
01:09:57Hi.
01:10:13You kid?
01:10:14Don't.
01:10:16Just don't.
01:10:18Shelby go upstairs?
01:10:20She fed them snacks and then locked herself in the guest room.
01:10:26I can't lose her, Pierce.
01:10:30I won't.
01:10:40Moment of truth, buddy.
01:10:44I'm sorry.
01:11:03Fleur, meet your daddy.
01:11:06I will, of course, provide for you both financially.
01:11:11Fleur doesn't need a checkbook. She needs a father.
01:11:14Yes.
01:11:30What do you want?
01:11:32The guest bedroom is empty.
01:11:34You and Fleur can stay there.
01:11:39Shelby.
01:11:41Just don't do this.
01:11:44Mom, I can fix it.
01:11:47This isn't something you fix.
01:11:49You can't be legally married to two women at the same time and you have a child with one of them.
01:11:56We need to get a divorce.
01:12:01She's right, Griff.
01:12:03Griffin, you have a daughter now.
01:12:05You're a father and you have to put your child first.
01:12:09I can't be Margo.
01:12:11I won't do that to another little girl.
01:12:15I've spent my whole life looking for you.
01:12:20How can I let you go?
01:12:26Sometimes love isn't enough.
01:12:32How did you know Shelby would leave him because of the kid?
01:12:35Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people. It's not in her nature to put herself first.
01:12:40Oh, you're a scary woman.
01:12:43I know.
01:12:48Hi, I'm Megan. I'm Shelby Trudeau.
01:12:51We've been expecting you, Ms. Trudeau.
01:12:58So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered?
01:13:12I'm sorry.
01:13:42That's strange. I thought I heard something.
01:14:13I'm sorry.
01:14:26It's like she was never here.
01:14:29Here.
01:14:41Hey, mister.
01:14:43Will you marry me?
01:14:46She took everything but left this behind.
01:14:49Message received, Shelby.
01:14:59What the hell is this?
01:15:03I 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.
01:15:11This place is insane. The owner must really trust you.
01:15:18Could it be?
01:15:29It's her. It's always been her.
01:15:36Yeah, it went better than I expected.
01:15:39Yeah, it went better than I expected. As soon as you saw the forged DNA test, it was a done deal.
01:15:44Who is she working for?
01:15:45How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby?
01:15:49Give me a name. Come on, just one name.
01:15:52Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close. I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead.
01:15:58Where is Shelby? Where is my wife? Where is this about taking her?
01:16:03I don't know what you're talking about.
01:16:05I will have you put away for the rest of your life and your daughter will grow up in a fucking orphanage.
01:16:11I don't know where she is. If I knew, I'd tell you, I swear.
01:16:28What is wrong with me?
01:16:33Help! Somebody help!
01:16:38Do you need some water?
01:16:40Wait, I see you've already had some.
01:16:43You poisoned me? Why?
01:16:46Why? Why? Where to begin?
01:16:50Not again. Lingering high school issues, offs. I'm helping Neville's campaign, duh.
01:16:59But the real reason, the one that cuts deep, is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist.
01:17:06By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice, he'll have gone missing, vanished without a trace.
01:17:15He'll be forced to withdraw from the race.
01:17:17Later, when an anonymous tip tells the police where to find your body, suspicion will follow Griffin for the rest of his life.
01:17:25Any political future he may have had will be as dead as you.
01:17:29Nut?
01:17:31Back up. Married twice?
01:17:36Who's the woman in the little girl?
01:17:40Oh, just some cheap whore I hired to tell your husband that they've been married for the past three years.
01:17:47When really, it's been you all along.
01:17:51You've been searching for each other all this time, but now he'll never find you.
01:17:58Alright boys, she's all yours.
01:18:06I told you I'd get you back.
01:18:14Ms. Tudor, why are you here?
01:18:17My baby Cece, I'm scared she's gonna do something terrible.
01:18:22What do you mean, terrible? What's going on?
01:18:25I sold everything to get her out on bail, and what does she do in return?
01:18:31She's gone crazy.
01:18:33Stoking Shelby, she tailed her to some hotel in the French Quarter.
01:18:40What hotel?
01:18:41Excuse me sir, my sister's staying here, but I've forgotten her room number. Is Shelby Trudeau?
01:18:48Sorry ma'am, we can't disclose any guest information.
01:18:57Shelby!
01:19:01Come out, come out, wherever you are!
01:19:12I think I'll do it with my bare hands. Makes it more personal.
01:19:18Actually, do me a favor, leave a lot of marks on that face of hers.
01:19:24Fuck you. I want people to see that she's suffered, a lot.
01:19:29Oh trust me, she will. Come on, let's get this party started.
01:19:42Look what you've done!
01:19:46Pansy ass slap.
01:19:49She's stalling, and you're falling for it.
01:19:53Damn, can't go to the valet smelling like a dive bar. I'll never give you your car keys.
01:19:59Shelby has clothes over there. James.
01:20:03I'll take care of me.
01:20:04I'll never give you your car keys.
01:20:07Shelby has clothes over there. James.
01:20:10I'll take care of me. You go take care of her.
01:20:19I found it Griffin. Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Lane.
01:20:24It was after her parents divorced at her mother's request.
01:20:27She only returned to her original name after her mother passed three years ago.
01:20:31Starting to make sense now.
01:20:34It was harder on my mom. She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too.
01:20:40Even started using my mom's maiden name.
01:20:43She's the one you've been looking for. It's been her all this time.
01:20:47How could it be so blind? Of course it had to be Shelby, it had to be her.
01:20:52My heart knew what my brain couldn't see.
01:20:55I got it. Your girl's in room 801.
01:20:59Thanks man. Now I can go save the love of my life.
01:21:09Too much to drink.
01:21:11Please.
01:21:18Stop right there.
01:21:25Not so fast.
01:21:28Griffin fucking Roy. Finally joined the party.
01:21:33I'm here for my wife.
01:21:35Not gonna happen, brah.
01:21:37What you've done here is aggravated assault, but if you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping.
01:21:43That is a federal crime. They'll bring in the FBI.
01:21:47Someone will have to be around to identify us.
01:21:50That sure as hell won't be you.
01:21:51Did you get all that, Pierce?
01:21:53Police are on their way. Hang in there, buddy.
01:21:57You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:22:00You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:22:20Give me my wife back now!
01:22:30Come on!
01:22:39Show me. You alright?
01:23:00Yeah.
01:23:15Griff, my god. Do you need medical attention?
01:23:19No, but they do.
01:23:29I guess I renewed my man card.
01:23:32Sure did, honey. Fucked him up real good.
01:23:37Oh lord, please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:23:50Shelby! You little bitch!
01:23:53Didn't I say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:23:57What?
01:23:59That's not-
01:24:00Shelby!
01:24:02Put your hands up or I can see them.
01:24:09This is the last one.
01:24:10Hey, hey, hey. I want to make a deal.
01:24:13What do you have to offer up?
01:24:14Congressman Neville LaRoche.
01:24:16I'm all ears.
01:24:24Is it really over?
01:24:26Yeah, it is.
01:24:28Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but three years ago, did we-
01:24:38You left us.
01:24:46It's true.
01:24:49I can't believe I finally found you.
01:24:52I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met.
01:24:56Why'd you never come back?
01:25:15It's called a walk of shame, not a laugh of it.
01:25:18Mind your own business, Cece.
01:25:20Look at you, Shelby.
01:25:21One Mardi Gras hookup and you think you found happily ever after.
01:25:25That's not how life works.
01:25:27Sure, he may have liked you with a mask on, but he's not going to want you with it off.
01:25:32Look, you both have a great memory now.
01:25:35But you'll look back and you'll see that you're just the clueless chick who didn't know the score.
01:25:42You'll embarrass yourself.
01:25:44And more importantly, you'll embarrass him.
01:25:52I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:25:55I'm sorry I let her get to me.
01:25:57But to be honest, what we had seemed too good to be true.
01:26:01How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:26:05Exactly.
01:26:09But I did.
01:26:11And I do.
01:26:13Where do we go from here?
01:26:15Married twice, deeply in love, risked our lives to save each other.
01:26:19I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:26:24Shelby, will you?
01:26:27Yes, Griffin Roy.
01:26:32I will always love you.
01:26:34In this life or the next.
