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