00:00:00Hey mister, will you marry me?
00:00:15Shelby Trudeau must be married by 5 o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:20I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau, I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:23Who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:00:24The last guy you even slept with was a one night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:00:28Alright, let's get married.
00:00:30I can't keep living in the past, maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:00:35Why can't you just tell her it's your place, if you're a public figure?
00:00:38How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:00:40The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a boy.
00:00:42She liked me for me and I want that again.
00:00:44You can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:00:48Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:00:51I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:00:54How pathetic and pointless, look how in love we are.
00:00:57Sometimes I forget how to let go, but with you every day is fun.
00:01:01Actually, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the city.
00:01:05You are Roy's secret bride, a woman he is so ashamed of he would hide the marriage for
00:01:10the rest of the world.
00:01:11We need to get a divorce.
00:01:12I mean I've spent my whole life looking for you.
00:01:15Sometimes love isn't enough.
00:01:19Could it be?
00:01:21It's her.
00:01:22It's always been her.
00:01:24How could it be so blind?
00:01:28I'm bored.
00:01:46According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married
00:01:52by five o'clock today or she loses her inheritance.
00:01:57That unladylike girl is not my daughter.
00:01:59Bad enough I'm her stepmother.
00:02:01Right, and hello, we want Shelby to know show, that's the way we get everything.
00:02:18I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau, I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:02:23Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister, dressed in your old uniform.
00:02:28Pathetic, still trying to play hero.
00:02:31I'm in the Army Reserve now, CC.
00:02:33I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:02:36The will, please.
00:02:38Ooh, the Army Reserve.
00:02:41Should have just died in the field like a good little soldier.
00:02:44No one would have missed you.
00:02:45Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:02:47You don't have to respect me, but don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain on
00:02:53the battlefield.
00:02:54Look around, CC, your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:02:59Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
00:03:03You have freedom and peace because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:03:07Of course, the will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:03:11And I want to thank you for your service.
00:03:18Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours only if signed by both you and your
00:03:24spouse.
00:03:27Woo!
00:03:28That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:31Tick tock.
00:03:32Woo!
00:03:33That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:03:35Tick tock.
00:03:48Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:03:50I'll give up your inheritance and I'll give you one percent.
00:03:54Better than nothing.
00:03:56You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:03:58You will not take what he left me.
00:04:00And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.
00:04:07Really, Shelby?
00:04:08Who's going to marry you anyhow?
00:04:10The last guy you even slept with was a one night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:04:14Mardi Gras?
00:04:29Don't.
00:04:30Keep the mystery.
00:04:34You've already lost, Shelby.
00:04:36Take the one percent I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:04:39Right.
00:04:40You're not even going to find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:04:44Watch me.
00:04:50Watch me.
00:05:05Don't worry.
00:05:12He looks single.
00:05:14Oh my god, this is totally FUBAR.
00:05:18Suck it up, soldier.
00:05:19You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:05:25Hey, mister?
00:05:27Will you marry me?
00:05:38I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain, but
00:05:41if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
00:05:44Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:05:47So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:05:49Do I look like a homeless person to her?
00:05:51Priceless.
00:05:54Shelby Trudeau!
00:05:55Oh, you one sign!
00:05:56You can't marry this...
00:05:58Elbow.
00:06:01Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:03The late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:06:05That's right.
00:06:06The judge said she was a soldier.
00:06:08He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:06:11Here's a few bucks.
00:06:13Take it and get lost.
00:06:15Don't meddle in our business.
00:06:17Don't speak to him like that.
00:06:19He's a person with feelings.
00:06:21The Cinderella Tale.
00:06:23Complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister.
00:06:27It's Claire who deserves my help.
00:06:29And the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:06:31Alright.
00:06:33Let's get married.
00:06:41Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:43Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:46And your name is?
00:06:48Griffin Roy.
00:06:49Names for the marriage certificate?
00:06:51Shelby Trudeau.
00:06:54And your name is?
00:06:56Griffin Roy.
00:06:57Griffin Roy.
00:07:18And congratulations, you lovebirds.
00:07:27This isn't over.
00:07:29Tell her.
00:07:36Sergeant Trudeau.
00:07:38Mrs. Roy.
00:07:40You have to stay married for at least one full year.
00:07:43Or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.
00:07:47You hear that, Shelby?
00:07:49You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:51You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:07:57Come on.
00:08:03I guess we'll need to keep in touch.
00:08:05But you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:08:09Once the estate gets settled and I have the money,
00:08:12we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job.
00:08:15When most people get what they wanted, they usually just walk away.
00:08:19I'm not most people.
00:08:22I see that.
00:08:30I gotta return this.
00:08:33Goodbye for now.
00:08:36Goodbye, wife.
00:08:49Where the hell have you been?
00:09:08Gotcha.
00:09:09Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:09:14This DNA, get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:09:16Look, as your campaign manager, I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:09:22You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
00:09:28Marrying Isabel was the best decision of my life.
00:09:33You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago,
00:09:37you got a package deal.
00:09:39Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor.
00:09:42Playboy lawyer.
00:09:43The best.
00:09:45This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:09:48In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women.
00:09:53You want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:09:55Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:09:59It's not just some girl.
00:10:01We had a connection.
00:10:03Never had that before.
00:10:10Look, I gotta run.
00:10:12But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
00:10:15Someone real.
00:10:17Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:10:37Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:10:40It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:10:42Alright, guys.
00:10:44That's class.
00:10:45Nice work.
00:10:51So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:10:54I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:10:59Who knows how many other women he's done this to.
00:11:02So, I was thinking, maybe it's time to go by his place and confront him in person.
00:11:09What's holding you back?
00:11:10Andre's no regular guy, Shelby.
00:11:12He's got a girl pack.
00:11:14These men are like wolves with money.
00:11:16Let's go.
00:11:18We'll face this douchebag together.
00:11:38What's your name?
00:11:40I'm Stephanie.
00:11:42How about a drink, huh?
00:11:44Oh, that's okay.
00:11:46Come on, one little drink won't do no harm.
00:11:48Okay, one drink.
00:11:50Really, Pierce?
00:11:52This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:11:54You wanna beat LaRoche, you gotta mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:12:04I can't believe I slept with that.
00:12:06What was I thinking?
00:12:08I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:12:10I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
00:12:14It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
00:12:21Thanks.
00:12:23That creep.
00:12:25You dickless loser.
00:12:35Drugging girls to get laid.
00:12:37What the fuck? Get out of my house, skank.
00:12:38I'm the skank?
00:12:40That's funny.
00:12:42You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:12:44Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:12:46Unless you're back from war.
00:12:48I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:12:50You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:12:52I just told you that you have chlamydia and you...
00:12:55Oh my God.
00:12:57You already know you have it.
00:12:59And you don't care.
00:13:01Ladies!
00:13:03Andre Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
00:13:06What is she doing here?
00:13:08Both of you, get out of here.
00:13:14Oh, shit.
00:13:16She can't know who I am yet.
00:13:22Do you know who I am?
00:13:24I don't care.
00:13:27You don't know who I am?
00:13:29I don't care.
00:13:31You don't know who I am?
00:13:33I don't care.
00:13:34Dad.
00:13:36Where did she come from?
00:13:38That's my wife.
00:13:40Isn't she amazing?
00:13:42And she's gonna cost you, Andre, once he finds out you're married to her?
00:13:44I don't care.
00:13:46You think you can crash my party and put that ninja shit on me?
00:13:49You are one dead bitch.
00:14:01Oh, nice.
00:14:03Did you see that combo?
00:14:05Dude, she can fight.
00:14:07Look at her form, man.
00:14:12She can really fight, man.
00:14:14You are hopeless.
00:14:16Hey, swap me jackets.
00:14:18I'll give you my Rolex.
00:14:33Fuck you, Roy.
00:14:35I'll do everything I can to end you.
00:14:37We should get out of here.
00:14:39Come on.
00:14:42Get him.
00:14:45You lied to me.
00:14:47You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:49Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
00:14:51You were next to a dumpster.
00:14:53That's what I'm talking about.
00:14:55You lied to me.
00:14:57You're not some homeless guy.
00:14:59Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
00:15:01You were next to a dumpster.
00:15:03That's not much of a leap.
00:15:05What were you doing at this party?
00:15:07Working the room.
00:15:09Oh, I thought you were one of those asshole rich guys.
00:15:12I'm sorry.
00:15:14I hope I didn't cost you your job.
00:15:16I know how you can make it up to me.
00:15:18Have dinner with me.
00:15:21My place is nearby.
00:15:23I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
00:15:25Wow, a wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:15:28I'm one lucky man.
00:15:30Don't push it.
00:15:33Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:39Hey, dinner's ready.
00:15:45This is nice.
00:15:47I haven't had a home cooked meal in a long time.
00:15:50It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.
00:15:53How long were you in the military?
00:15:55Seven years.
00:15:57I joined right after high school.
00:15:59My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.
00:16:01You weren't close with your father?
00:16:03I was.
00:16:05He was my hero.
00:16:07Until he wasn't.
00:16:09He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:16:11He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
00:16:15It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:16:17That must have been really hard for you.
00:16:20It was harder on my mom.
00:16:22She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too.
00:16:25Even started using my mom's maiden name.
00:16:27But then three years ago he reached out, told me he was sick,
00:16:30so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:16:31Here I am.
00:16:33Here you are.
00:16:35Enough about me.
00:16:37What's your story, Griffin Roy?
00:16:42Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:16:44We know you're in there, Shelby.
00:16:46The light is on.
00:16:48We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:50We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:16:53Hey.
00:16:55I'll handle this.
00:16:56Oh.
00:16:58I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling,
00:17:01but it's just you two.
00:17:03And you are?
00:17:05Yes, a homeless guy that Shelby married.
00:17:07What are you doing here?
00:17:09Why wouldn't Griffin be here?
00:17:11He's my husband, after all.
00:17:13Mama, what are we going to do?
00:17:15We need to challenge the will.
00:17:17But how can we do that if they're still together?
00:17:19Shut up, Cece.
00:17:21Oh, I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:17:23How pathetic and pointless.
00:17:24Look how in love we are.
00:17:26I look back.
00:17:29Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:17:32Right.
00:17:34We're going to shred that will and your shame of marriage in no time.
00:17:46Margo and Cece are going to be a problem.
00:17:48There's no way they'll let us be.
00:17:50What if we...
00:17:51moved in together?
00:17:53You want to live here?
00:17:55No.
00:17:57Somewhere with better security.
00:17:59Like my place.
00:18:01Sure.
00:18:03I'm dying to see where you live.
00:18:10So let me get this straight.
00:18:12You told her you're house-sitting?
00:18:14That's right.
00:18:16Said I was going to watch the house
00:18:18while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:18:19You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:18:21Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:27I saw you from across the room
00:18:29and I had to talk to you.
00:18:31That's very flattering,
00:18:33but you don't know anything about me.
00:18:35I know you take my breath away.
00:18:37And I know that I would wonder
00:18:39for the rest of my life
00:18:41if I didn't take this chance,
00:18:43even if it was only for one night.
00:18:45Maybe it's better this way.
00:18:47No names, no past.
00:18:49We can just be ourselves.
00:18:51I'd like that very much.
00:18:54The girl from Mardi Gras
00:18:56didn't know I was Roy.
00:18:58She liked me for me.
00:19:00And I want that again, Pierce.
00:19:02Even for a little while.
00:19:11Stash all this stuff
00:19:13in the garage, please.
00:19:15Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:19:17A lot of people know who you are.
00:19:19How long do you think
00:19:21you can keep this charade up?
00:19:23I don't know.
00:19:25But I have a chance to be with someone
00:19:27without all the crap
00:19:29that goes along with being a Roy.
00:19:31Well, just remember,
00:19:33we're about to launch
00:19:35a multi-platform campaign.
00:19:37In two weeks, TV, radio,
00:19:39social, billboards,
00:19:41your face is about to be everywhere.
00:19:43Then I better make the most
00:19:45of the next 14 days.
00:19:49Oh.
00:20:02This place is insane.
00:20:04The owner must really trust you.
00:20:06Yep.
00:20:08We're pretty tight.
00:20:10Here, let me show you to your room.
00:20:17I can't keep living in the past.
00:20:19Maybe it's time to see
00:20:21what the future holds.
00:20:29Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:20:37I take it things are going well
00:20:39with Xena Warrior Princess.
00:20:41Oh, she's so exciting and competitive.
00:20:43Keeps me on my toes.
00:20:45Oh, and so damn beautiful.
00:20:47Face sweaty, no makeup,
00:20:49so damn real.
00:20:51Well, when do I get to meet her?
00:20:53Her military background
00:20:55and work with actress women
00:20:57will be a real asset
00:20:59for both female and male voters.
00:21:01Dial it back, Pierce.
00:21:03We're in the early stages.
00:21:05Alright, well, don't take too long.
00:21:07You married her for the campaign.
00:21:09And it's not like she can dump you
00:21:11once she finds out.
00:21:13She needs you for her inheritance.
00:21:17Gun!
00:21:19Hey.
00:21:21I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:21:23Oh, I like the sound of that.
00:21:25Did you mind that I got a woman?
00:21:27I'm talking food here.
00:21:29Alright, in that case, surprise me.
00:21:31Try me.
00:21:33I'm full of surprises.
00:21:35I bet you are.
00:21:37See you soon.
00:21:38Gotcha, sis.
00:21:40So this is where you've been hiding out.
00:21:50Did you want some of my wine?
00:21:53No, I'm good.
00:21:55I'm good.
00:21:57I'm good.
00:21:58I'm good.
00:22:00I'm good.
00:22:02I'm good.
00:22:04I'm good.
00:22:06I'm good.
00:22:08I'm good.
00:22:32I turned off your alarm.
00:22:34You obviously needed the sleep.
00:22:36We can run tonight.
00:22:37P.S.
00:22:39You snore, but it's super cute.
00:22:41I do not snore, Gryffinroy.
00:22:58What are you doing in a place like this?
00:23:01I live here.
00:23:03When did you move in?
00:23:05Last week.
00:23:06Yeah, I've heard that one before.
00:23:08Listen, this is an exclusive neighborhood.
00:23:10Thieves are always trying to break in.
00:23:12Who are you calling a thief?
00:23:14Please step out.
00:23:16Now!
00:23:18What the hell are you doing?
00:23:20Just routine inspection.
00:23:24Let's see what else you're hiding here.
00:23:33Get your filthy hands off my wife!
00:23:35What?
00:23:41Oh, cool.
00:23:43I thought I was saving you, but it looks like you got it.
00:23:47Look out!
00:23:51Damn, lady.
00:23:53You make it look easy.
00:23:55Are you hurt?
00:23:57Just my pride.
00:24:00Looks like you get a flat.
00:24:02Let's get out of here.
00:24:03We can take my car.
00:24:05This is yours?
00:24:07Borrowed it from a friend.
00:24:09Right.
00:24:13I know all the guards who work here, and you sure as hell aren't them.
00:24:17Who the hell are you, man?
00:24:19Some kind of big shot or something?
00:24:21Oh, I'm your worst nightmare.
00:24:25Alright.
00:24:27You're under arrest.
00:24:29What the hell is going on?
00:24:35Well, that didn't go as planned.
00:24:38Mama, this is all your fault.
00:24:41You pushed me to hire those thugs to humiliate Shelby,
00:24:44and now my money's wasted and she got off scot-free.
00:24:47Eyes on the prize, Cece.
00:24:49Once we inherit the entire Trudeau estate,
00:24:51this will be pocket change.
00:24:53Yeah.
00:24:54And who would have thought that bum
00:24:56would have got the police involved in all this mess?
00:24:58I don't believe he's a bum.
00:25:00I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?
00:25:02No matter whether he's a homeless man
00:25:03No matter whether he's a tramp or not,
00:25:05he married Shelby for her money.
00:25:07Offer him a better deal and he'll leave her.
00:25:10We annul the marriage and claim the entire estate.
00:25:16Oh, isn't Victoria Wilcox
00:25:18the porter party billionaire looking for a new gigolo?
00:25:20That old cougar?
00:25:22Oh, Cece, honey.
00:25:24When they're that age, they're not cougars.
00:25:26They're saber-toothed tigers.
00:25:27Well,
00:25:29then we just gotta make him an offer he can't refuse.
00:25:35You really should have iced these right away.
00:25:37I realize that now.
00:25:39I've only ever sparred with gloves on,
00:25:41never thrown a bare-knuckle punch before.
00:25:45What?
00:25:47Did I just say that?
00:25:49No.
00:25:51I'm sorry.
00:25:53I'm sorry.
00:25:55I'm sorry.
00:25:57I just handed my man card.
00:25:59No, you knocked a guy out with one punch.
00:26:01Your man card is fully intact.
00:26:04You just sounded like a prep school rich boy for a second.
00:26:12Not just for today, but for everything.
00:26:15It's been really lonely since my dad died and
00:26:18it's nice having someone on my side.
00:26:21There's no need to thank me.
00:26:23I am your husband.
00:26:25Close your eyes.
00:26:35Okay.
00:26:37Fair is fair.
00:26:39I owe you one.
00:26:55Sorry.
00:26:57I know we're just pretending.
00:26:59Right.
00:27:01Pretending.
00:27:05I'm gonna,
00:27:07I'm gonna go for a run.
00:27:09Okay, I'll come with.
00:27:16What if it's just me?
00:27:18What if it's just me?
00:27:20What if it's just me?
00:27:22What if it's just me?
00:27:23What if it's just me?
00:27:25Wouldn't that be ironic?
00:27:27The first woman I'm into for so long is not into me.
00:27:29Fuck.
00:27:45Griffin kissed me and it felt just like that night three years ago.
00:27:49What's wrong with me?
00:27:50What's wrong with me?
00:27:52How can I feel the exact same way for two different men?
00:28:05I don't know.
00:28:07He looks like a wet street dog.
00:28:09I'll shower and a haircut and he'll be marginally presentable.
00:28:12Hey!
00:28:14You!
00:28:15We got a proposition for you.
00:28:17We got a proposition for you.
00:28:19How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?
00:28:21How'd you like to be richer than you ever imagined?
00:28:23Well, that'd be a dream, ma'am.
00:28:25Get in.
00:28:39Are you sure he's not homeless?
00:28:41He eats like a dirty pig.
00:28:42So you want me to divorce Shelby
00:28:44So you want me to divorce Shelby
00:28:46and marry Victoria Wilcox, the shithouse billionaire?
00:28:54You will refer to them as porta-potties, young man.
00:28:59We know you're after Shelby's inheritance, but she's never gonna see it.
00:29:04Well, he'll do.
00:29:06He'll do.
00:29:11Oh, he'll do just nicely.
00:29:16Wait a minute.
00:29:18Have we met before? Because you look real familiar.
00:29:21Oh, no.
00:29:23Nope, I don't think I run in your kinds of circles.
00:29:26I'm Miss Wilcox.
00:29:28The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:31The first document are official divorce papers.
00:29:34And you will also be paid 20 grand a month to provide
00:29:38intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:29:42Hmm.
00:29:44Oh, you don't need to worry, boy.
00:29:46Because I have the libido of a 26-year-old.
00:29:50Hmm, hmm.
00:29:52Ha, ha, ha.
00:29:54Ha, ha, ha.
00:29:56Ha, ha, ha.
00:29:58Ha, ha, ha.
00:29:59Hmm.
00:30:01Hmm.
00:30:06I don't understand.
00:30:08This says, you're under arrest for pandering.
00:30:12Detective McSwain, this woman has tried to recruit me as a sex worker.
00:30:19That's a class C felony.
00:30:21He's lying.
00:30:24And you will also be paid 20 grand a month to provide
00:30:27intimate services of a sexual nature.
00:30:34Detective, detective.
00:30:36There must be some misunderstanding.
00:30:38There's no nonsense going on here.
00:30:40No, you can't arrest me on the word of that bum.
00:30:43He set me up.
00:30:45Detective McSwain, it's getting late.
00:30:47I'd like to go home and see my wife.
00:30:50Ah, ah, ah, ah.
00:30:55Wait.
00:30:57You have made a big mistake rejecting me.
00:31:00I'm a woman of wealth and power that you cannot fathom.
00:31:05I will make you pay very dearly for this.
00:31:08I don't think anyone mentioned my last name.
00:31:11It's Roy.
00:31:17Well, I knew you looked familiar.
00:31:20You see, I'm just an old woman.
00:31:22You could forgive me.
00:31:24Get out of my face.
00:31:27Oh.
00:31:29Excuse me.
00:31:32Alright, we got her in the car.
00:31:34How far do you want this to go?
00:31:36Put the fear of God in there.
00:31:38Mug shot, fingerprints, the works.
00:31:41Then in the morning, drop the charges.
00:31:43Before the press gets wind.
00:31:45Pierce her to have your hide.
00:31:47You got it, Griff.
00:31:57Where have you been?
00:31:59I was worried you were gone so long.
00:32:01Yeah?
00:32:03Yeah.
00:32:05Uh, are you hungry?
00:32:07I can heat up some leftovers.
00:32:09Yeah, I'd like that.
00:32:13Did that just happen?
00:32:15Maybe I have a shot with her after all.
00:32:27Oh.
00:32:29Oh, baby, my little girl.
00:32:32I will never forget the humiliation that man has caused us.
00:32:37Don't you worry, Mama.
00:32:39I have a plan.
00:32:41I had all night to think about it in that cold, hard cell.
00:32:44If he doesn't want to divorce Shelby, fine.
00:32:47We'll just force Shelby to divorce him.
00:32:51And I know just where to hit it where it hurts.
00:32:53Where it hurts.
00:32:56It's amazing.
00:33:12I think we shaved 30 seconds off that time.
00:33:15I thought I was competitive.
00:33:17You even compete with yourself.
00:33:23You're not growing.
00:33:25You're dying.
00:33:27I, um...
00:33:29I'm gonna go shower.
00:33:31Me too.
00:33:36Get a grip, Shelby.
00:33:38So he's hot.
00:33:40You've been around dozens of smoking hot men in the service.
00:33:43What makes him any different?
00:33:45He just is.
00:33:46Hey, Zara.
00:33:48Shelby, you have to get here right away.
00:33:50Buford's kicking us out the gym.
00:33:56I'm sorry, my hands are tied.
00:33:59He says we have to leave.
00:34:01Okay, I got this.
00:34:03Mr. Buford, what are you doing?
00:34:05This is my place of business.
00:34:07You're done here.
00:34:09I said, you're done here.
00:34:11I said, you're done here.
00:34:13I said, you're done here.
00:34:14This is my place of business.
00:34:16You're done here.
00:34:18I sold the building.
00:34:20The new owners want you out.
00:34:22That's illegal.
00:34:24I have a lease.
00:34:26They've got a break clause for new management,
00:34:28and they've decided to activate it.
00:34:30Who the hell is they?
00:34:32That would be us.
00:34:36But if we can take it from here.
00:34:38Sure thing.
00:34:40Pleasure doing business with you, ladies.
00:34:42I don't have your army money for this gym,
00:34:44but you can get it back.
00:34:46All you have to do is sign this divorce petition.
00:34:50Get a divorce, give up your inheritance,
00:34:53and then you can keep your dinky, smelly gym.
00:35:04I bet you want to hit me so bad.
00:35:06Not so tough now, are you, Shelby?
00:35:09Screw you.
00:35:10I'll just pack up and find a new location.
00:35:13Sorry, the building is now closed for renovations,
00:35:18and everything inside now belongs to me.
00:35:21Of course, you could sue, but that would take months.
00:35:26Well, what would happen to your gym now, Shelby?
00:35:30That's blackmail.
00:35:32We like to call it capitalism.
00:35:34You don't sign, we close the gym,
00:35:36and then you lose everything.
00:35:37Think about what you're doing.
00:35:39This gym is a lifeline for so many women.
00:35:42I won't let you take it from them.
00:35:44You can beg, but I won't budge.
00:35:48Be a smart girl and sign the papers by tomorrow,
00:35:51or you can kiss your Valkyrie Fight Club goodbye.
00:35:56And watch us turn it into Valkyrie Strip Club.
00:36:01Isn't that a good idea?
00:36:03There's poles and everything.
00:36:05Oh my, plenty of girls.
00:36:07Oh, they're cute.
00:36:09They are cute.
00:36:11Cute enough.
00:36:20I'm not here because I'd give a damn if you win.
00:36:23I'm here to make sure that Griffin Roy doesn't.
00:36:26Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:36:29The fuck you say?
00:36:31What exactly did Roy do to earn your loathing?
00:36:34He partnered up against me with a She-Warrior.
00:36:38I want to see them both destroyed.
00:36:40Well, with your connections and my political might,
00:36:44I think that might be able to be arranged.
00:36:55LaRose got Andre.
00:36:57What are we going to do about this?
00:36:59Nothing.
00:37:01We do not want these two pairing up.
00:37:02We do not want these two pairing up, alright?
00:37:04This is political suicide.
00:37:06Just talk to Shelby.
00:37:08Maybe if you both apologize...
00:37:10Um, hell no.
00:37:12Let them do their best.
00:37:14Mark my words, this is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
00:37:21Hello, Shelby.
00:37:23Griffin, we need to talk.
00:37:32Shelby, what's going on?
00:37:34You sounded tense on the phone.
00:37:38I have so many missed moments.
00:37:40Things I should have said or done.
00:37:42Chances that were lost that might have been pivotal to my life.
00:37:46I don't want you to be another moment that I miss.
00:37:48You first.
00:38:18You first.
00:38:26You first.
00:38:48You first.
00:39:10That was fucking amazing.
00:39:18Griffin?
00:39:20Where are you going?
00:39:22Griffin?
00:39:24Griffin?
00:39:27Explain yourself.
00:39:29Toothbrush.
00:39:32PJs.
00:39:34This is Jacques.
00:39:36Why?
00:39:38You're my wife.
00:39:40I sleep with you now.
00:39:42We probably should have talked this through.
00:39:44Yeah.
00:39:46You said you had missed moments.
00:39:48I've had them too.
00:39:50You will not be one of them.
00:39:52I know we said we were pretending, but I want to give us a chance.
00:39:56A real one.
00:39:58Oh?
00:40:16Fuck.
00:40:18Fuck.
00:40:20Fuck.
00:40:22Fuck.
00:40:24Fuck.
00:40:26Fuck.
00:40:28Fuck.
00:40:30Fuck.
00:40:32Fuck.
00:40:46Fuck.
00:40:52I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:40:57Kiss the bonnie lass, why don't ya?
00:40:59Oh.
00:41:15Cece, meet me at the gym in one hour.
00:41:17We can go over the divorce papers.
00:41:24Goodbye, my husband.
00:41:29I knew something must have happened.
00:41:36Hello.
00:41:38Pierce.
00:41:40I need you to use all your connections to find out what Cece and Margot Trudeau did to Shelby yesterday.
00:41:46Because of them, my wife is divorcing me.
00:41:50It's five in the morning.
00:41:52You have an hour.
00:41:55How did Cece get the money to buy the entire Rampart Drive building?
00:41:59She and Margot Trudeau are using the Trudeau Mansion as collateral.
00:42:02Stupid.
00:42:04Good for us, bad for them.
00:42:06And the property title?
00:42:08Still in escrow.
00:42:09The title hasn't been transferred yet.
00:42:11Make sure it is.
00:42:13Your name.
00:42:15You're about to be the proud owner of the Trudeau Mansion.
00:42:18I'm sorry.
00:42:19Make sure it is.
00:42:21Your name.
00:42:23You're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive.
00:42:25Oh, goody, goody.
00:42:31Talk to me, McSwain.
00:42:33I showed the fake guards in lockup Cece Trudeau's mugshot.
00:42:36You're right.
00:42:38She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife.
00:42:40How'd you know?
00:42:42Had her M.O. written all over it.
00:42:44I take it the kid gloves are off this time?
00:42:46Oh, yeah.
00:42:47Well, let's show her just how wrong she is.
00:42:58I'm glad you finally came to your senses, Shelby.
00:43:01I definitely have.
00:43:03Showtime.
00:43:05I'm your campaign manager, not some hired muscle.
00:43:09Here's what I think about your agreement.
00:43:14Did you see that?
00:43:15Did you see that she chose me, man?
00:43:17She chose me.
00:43:19Well, hell.
00:43:21Looks like she did.
00:43:23You fucking bitch!
00:43:25That's her cue.
00:43:30Say goodbye to your gym, Shelby.
00:43:32You're going to lose everything.
00:43:34You know, at least I still have my self-respect.
00:43:36Which is more than I can say for you.
00:43:38Don't be hasty, Cece.
00:43:40She's basically a man.
00:43:42You'll get hurt.
00:43:43This gym is rightfully mine,
00:43:45but I will never agree to your demands.
00:43:47Reclaim what's yours.
00:43:49You're never going to step foot
00:43:51in your precious gym ever again.
00:43:55That will be difficult to enforce
00:43:57since I now own the building.
00:43:59Who the hell are you?
00:44:01Pierce Durand.
00:44:03The new owner of 222 Rampart Drive.
00:44:05What?
00:44:09Your deal fell out of escrow.
00:44:11I swooped in and bought it.
00:44:13That's impossible.
00:44:15I own it.
00:44:17Let me spell this out in a way
00:44:19that even an imbecile will understand.
00:44:21I outbid you.
00:44:23The building is mine.
00:44:25Now scram.
00:44:27Mr. Do,
00:44:29I want to ensure you
00:44:31that your lease is secure.
00:44:33The only change
00:44:35will be a 40% rent reduction.
00:44:37That's unbelievable.
00:44:39Are you sure you can afford that?
00:44:41Oh, yeah.
00:44:43Mr. Durand,
00:44:45the gym means a lot
00:44:47to the women in this community.
00:44:54CC Trudeau,
00:44:56you're under arrest for extortion.
00:44:58The fake guards identified you
00:45:00as the one who paid them
00:45:02to attack Shelby Trudeau.
00:45:04Okay, well,
00:45:06but that was last week.
00:45:08You can't arrest me now.
00:45:10We most certainly can,
00:45:12but you're my girl.
00:45:14I'm coming after you.
00:45:16I'm never going to forget this
00:45:18when I get out.
00:45:19You're mine.
00:45:25Zara,
00:45:27call everyone.
00:45:29Valkyrie Fight Club
00:45:31is back in business.
00:45:38Well,
00:45:40aren't you going to go over there?
00:45:42Are you going to ruin this whole thing?
00:45:44No.
00:45:46It's her victory.
00:45:48I merely did what a husband shouldn't
00:45:50to ensure her happiness.
00:45:52That's my reward.
00:45:54That is some wild shit you just spouted.
00:45:56This girl is seriously causing you
00:45:58to lose it, Griff.
00:46:00You worry too much.
00:46:02And you don't worry enough.
00:46:04We have a campaign to win,
00:46:06and you're 10 points behind LaRoche
00:46:08in all the latest polls.
00:46:10What are you driving at?
00:46:11I'm trying to shape the narrative.
00:46:13You wait too long,
00:46:15and Neville LaRoche is going to find out
00:46:17and beat us to it.
00:46:19Okay.
00:46:21I'll tell her.
00:46:23I just,
00:46:25I need a few more days
00:46:27of just me with her.
00:46:29Then I'll confess everything.
00:46:37That's Shelby Trudeau,
00:46:39owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club.
00:46:41Pretty girl.
00:46:43So is she screwing
00:46:45Duran DeRoy?
00:46:47I don't know, sir.
00:46:49That luncheon was so boring, Neville.
00:46:51Those stuck-up twats
00:46:53kept going on and on
00:46:55about their precious lineages
00:46:57dating back to the Mayflower.
00:47:02Not everyone's white trash
00:47:04like you, Isabel.
00:47:07It is a wonder
00:47:09how you overcame
00:47:11my low-class origins
00:47:13and gained my interest.
00:47:15That wasn't your interest, darling.
00:47:17That was your cock.
00:47:19Too shame, I do.
00:47:21Why are you looking at a picture of her?
00:47:23Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:47:25Well, she went by Michelle
00:47:27in high school.
00:47:29But yeah, that's her.
00:47:31She was a star athlete
00:47:33with an annoying habit
00:47:35of defending every loser in school.
00:47:37From bullies like you, per se.
00:47:39Oh, that is unfortunate.
00:47:41You'll have to work that much harder
00:47:43for when you two reconnect.
00:47:45Neville, no.
00:47:47You mean your new bestie, Isabel?
00:47:49Baby, no.
00:47:57It's cooling off.
00:47:59We should go inside.
00:48:01Just a few more minutes.
00:48:03I can't remember the last time
00:48:05I let myself just be.
00:48:08Yeah.
00:48:09I guess when my parents
00:48:11were still together.
00:48:13Before the divorce,
00:48:15the cheating,
00:48:17mom getting sick.
00:48:19I was carefree then.
00:48:21I joined the army after,
00:48:23but that was just
00:48:25another rollercoaster.
00:48:27It's kind of hard to chill
00:48:29when you're deep in hostile territory
00:48:31cutting off weapons supply routes.
00:48:33I'm glad you feel safe here.
00:48:35It's not the place,
00:48:37it's the person.
00:48:39I've known you forever.
00:48:46Shelby, I have to tell you something.
00:48:55I guess I can wait
00:48:57one more day.
00:49:03Our most sought-after class at Valkyrie
00:49:06is our women's self-defense kickboxing.
00:49:09Sign me up.
00:49:12Oh shit, Isabel.
00:49:14The girl who made my life
00:49:16and everyone else's
00:49:18a living hell in high school.
00:49:20What sneaky BS is she up to?
00:49:22Oh my gosh, Michelle?
00:49:24Is that you?
00:49:26I go by Shelby now.
00:49:28You look amazing.
00:49:30Michelle, Shelby,
00:49:32and I go way back.
00:49:34Gosh, what a small world.
00:49:36Well, for our membership
00:49:37we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions.
00:49:39How about I pay up front
00:49:41for three years
00:49:43and I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join.
00:49:45You know,
00:49:47if you're really serious about this
00:49:49you'll have to lose the bling before class.
00:49:54I was a mean girl in high school
00:49:56and I'm really ashamed of it.
00:49:58What you've built here
00:50:00is so empowering.
00:50:02If I had had something like this growing up
00:50:04then maybe I would have
00:50:05the courage to
00:50:07stop my Pa from all the horrible things
00:50:09he did to me and Ma.
00:50:12Shelby, can we start over?
00:50:14Would you let me try to make it right?
00:50:19Okay.
00:50:29This is so awesome!
00:50:31How about lunch?
00:50:33I'm free to grab a bite right now.
00:50:35Okay.
00:50:37Let me grab my bag.
00:50:39Get it back!
00:50:47Griffin Roy has made
00:50:49criminal justice reform
00:50:51the heart of his campaign.
00:50:53He's pro-union
00:50:55and has a five-point plan
00:50:57to improve workplace safety regulations.
00:50:59Shit!
00:51:01No, no, not you.
00:51:03I gotta call you back.
00:51:05Okay.
00:51:12LaRoche knows about Shelby.
00:51:14He's sicked Isabelle on her.
00:51:16Look, here's her Instagram.
00:51:18What the fuck?
00:51:20LaRoche's oppo research
00:51:22must have tagged her.
00:51:24Look, we just lost control of the narrative, Griffin.
00:51:26Screw the narrative, it's a trap.
00:51:28They've got my wife.
00:51:29I thought this was supposed
00:51:31to be a quick bite.
00:51:33I have a business to run, you know.
00:51:35You haven't changed a bit
00:51:37since high school.
00:51:39So dedicated.
00:51:41I've always admired that about you.
00:51:43All right, cut the crap, Izzy.
00:51:45Others might buy your ladylike act,
00:51:47but I know you're still
00:51:49the same vicious bully inside.
00:51:51You didn't come to my gym by accident.
00:51:53What's your angle?
00:51:55Neville asked me to befriend you.
00:51:57I don't want to be here.
00:51:59So I can just add that
00:52:01to the list of reasons
00:52:03why I fucking loathe you.
00:52:05What's my angle, Shelby?
00:52:08The complete and utter destruction
00:52:10of Griffin Roy.
00:52:12And if I can take you down with him,
00:52:14all the better.
00:52:20Shelby, listen to me.
00:52:22The press are on their way.
00:52:24I don't have time to explain,
00:52:26but I fucked up.
00:52:28Now.
00:52:32Too late to run.
00:52:34My hubby's here.
00:52:36Leaving so soon, Ms. Trudeau.
00:52:38Or should I say, Mrs. Roy?
00:52:42Come on, Shelby, pick up.
00:52:44Let me know you got out of there.
00:52:47Who the hell are you?
00:52:49Congressman.
00:52:51Neville LaRoche.
00:52:53I understand why your husband
00:52:55probably never mentioned me.
00:52:56He hasn't told you.
00:52:58Please, sit down.
00:53:00Isabel was supposed to keep you company
00:53:02until after I arrived.
00:53:04No matter.
00:53:06We'll do this the less genteel way
00:53:08if we must.
00:53:10Both of these men
00:53:12are retired Navy SEALs.
00:53:14I've heard a lot about
00:53:16your fighting skills,
00:53:18so I came prepared.
00:53:23What's this about?
00:53:26I spoke with your stepmother,
00:53:28my girl.
00:53:30She had quite the story to tell.
00:53:32It seems Roy has led you
00:53:34to believe that he's some bum
00:53:36on the streets.
00:53:38When actually,
00:53:40he's just about one of the wealthiest
00:53:42men in the state.
00:53:44I can't believe you fell for that.
00:53:46Not so smart now,
00:53:48are you, Shelby?
00:53:50You're lying.
00:53:52You are Roy's secret bride.
00:53:54A woman he is so ashamed of
00:53:56that he would hide the marriage
00:53:58for the rest of the world.
00:54:00When the press arrives,
00:54:02you will share your story
00:54:04of betrayal with the voters of Louisiana
00:54:06so that they may know
00:54:08what kind of man Roy really is.
00:54:18Hey.
00:54:20I gotta go.
00:54:22Let me go.
00:54:24Shelby, please.
00:54:26Why did you give your marriage a secret?
00:54:28The voters have a right to know.
00:54:30What else are you hiding?
00:54:32You son of a bitch.
00:54:34Now, Roy,
00:54:36don't blame others for your own
00:54:38stupid mistakes.
00:54:49Shelby, Shelby,
00:54:51please, hear me out.
00:54:53Don't shell me.
00:54:54All of your charm,
00:54:56it's just a lie.
00:54:58I never meant to let it get this far.
00:55:00I planned on coming clean.
00:55:02More lies, Gryffin Roy?
00:55:04I was gonna tell you today.
00:55:06Convenient.
00:55:08Why didn't you just tell me
00:55:10you were a billionaire from the start?
00:55:12Did you actually think
00:55:14I'd come after you for your money?
00:55:16That was always a possibility.
00:55:18Get away from my house.
00:55:20This is technically my home.
00:55:22Oh, God,
00:55:23you are the worst
00:55:25and I never want to see you again.
00:55:28Shelby.
00:55:35Congressional candidate Gryffin Roy
00:55:37has a secret bride.
00:55:39Our reporter is-
00:55:53You got to get a sip of that?
00:56:15I'm sorry.
00:56:17I'm sorry.
00:56:19I'm sorry.
00:56:20I'm sorry.
00:56:36This is private property.
00:56:38Which I own.
00:56:40Liar.
00:56:41Pierce Durand owns this building.
00:56:43He works for me.
00:56:45Then I'll move.
00:56:47I don't want to owe you anything.
00:56:50Oh, Shelby.
00:56:52Shelby.
00:56:54Come out, would you please?
00:56:57I wake up in the morning
00:56:59and reach for you
00:57:01but you're not there.
00:57:09I can't breathe
00:57:11at the thought of you.
00:57:13I'm sorry.
00:57:15I'm sorry.
00:57:17I'm sorry.
00:57:18I can't breathe
00:57:20at the thought of losing you.
00:57:23Mr. Roy, do you think she'll ever forgive you?
00:57:28You're ridiculous.
00:57:29You do know that, don't you?
00:57:31Oh, Shelby.
00:57:33Shelby.
00:57:34Don't leave me hanging.
00:57:36What are you doing?
00:57:37You're supposed to turn it on.
00:57:39Yeah.
00:57:41I got it from a pawn shop.
00:57:43It's broken.
00:57:45Guy totally scammed me.
00:57:47You are beyond ridiculous.
00:57:49Please, Shelby.
00:57:51I didn't say
00:57:53what I wanted to before.
00:57:55Just give me a chance to explain.
00:57:59Fine.
00:58:01Come in, you fool.
00:58:03I'll come in on my own.
00:58:05Out.
00:58:10You have two minutes.
00:58:17Growing up
00:58:19as a Roy,
00:58:21no one ever liked me for me.
00:58:24It's always been about
00:58:26the money,
00:58:27the excess.
00:58:30Then,
00:58:31at a moment,
00:58:33three years ago,
00:58:35where someone did
00:58:37like me,
00:58:38for me,
00:58:40they had no idea who I was
00:58:42and I just remember
00:58:44how freeing
00:58:45it felt.
00:58:48So when I met you
00:58:50and I felt that spark
00:58:52I've been searching for,
00:58:54I didn't think.
00:58:56I just
00:58:58fucking left.
00:59:00Why wait so long to tell me?
00:59:02I've never
00:59:04gone into enemy territory
00:59:05to cut off
00:59:07weapons supply routes.
00:59:09I boxed in prep school.
00:59:11Yeah,
00:59:12you got that right.
00:59:13But otherwise,
00:59:15I've always been more of
00:59:16a lover
00:59:18rather than a fighter.
00:59:20And I've done well as a lawyer.
00:59:22But I did not
00:59:24earn those billions.
00:59:26I inherited them
00:59:28from
00:59:30generations
00:59:31of dickheads.
00:59:33When you meet a girl
00:59:35who's a total package,
00:59:37you just want to be her
00:59:38total package too.
00:59:40You really are ridiculous.
00:59:41You know,
00:59:42I have laughed more with you
00:59:43in the past two weeks
00:59:44than I have
00:59:45in my entire life.
00:59:47I'm way too serious, Griffin.
00:59:49Sometimes I forget
00:59:50how to let go.
00:59:52But with you,
00:59:53every day is fun.
00:59:55So,
00:59:56does that mean
00:59:57you forgive me?
00:59:59I'm thinking about it.
01:00:03Yeah.
01:00:05You think too much.
01:00:06Time for makeup sex.
01:00:08Oh!
01:00:09Oh!
01:00:14So,
01:00:15that's makeup sex.
01:00:17Yeah.
01:00:21Griffin,
01:00:22it hurts so much
01:00:23thinking we were over.
01:00:26I never want to feel
01:00:27like that again.
01:00:29I promise not to let
01:00:30anything get in between us.
01:00:39This changes everything.
01:00:41No, thanks for the heads up.
01:00:43I'd appreciate it if you
01:00:44could keep it buried
01:00:45for as long as possible.
01:00:54Mom?
01:00:56I want to stay right here.
01:01:06Where the hell are you, Griff?
01:01:07This is DEFCON 1.
01:01:10Hey, man.
01:01:11Seriously?
01:01:12That's all you have to say?
01:01:14Seriously?
01:01:15That's all you have to say?
01:01:19Come on.
01:01:25How could you keep
01:01:26something like this from me?
01:01:27We've known each other
01:01:28since college.
01:01:29What are you talking about?
01:01:30Didn't you get any
01:01:31of my texts or calls?
01:01:33I must have forgot
01:01:34to charge it.
01:01:35I had quite a night
01:01:37last night.
01:01:38Shelby and I made up.
01:01:40She's forgiven me.
01:01:41Well,
01:01:42she won't forgive you for this.
01:01:45You're a goddamn bigamist,
01:01:46Griffin Roy.
01:01:51Michelle Lane.
01:01:53I don't even know who that is.
01:01:55Well, you knew her well enough
01:01:56to marry her three years ago.
01:02:01This can't be right.
01:02:02I got it from a parish clerk.
01:02:04She's agreed to keep it
01:02:05hush-hush for now.
01:02:06The ceremony was conducted
01:02:07at a church.
01:02:08The priest signed
01:02:09and completed
01:02:10the marriage certificate.
01:02:12Father Timothy O'Shea.
01:02:17I now pronounce ye
01:02:18man and wife.
01:02:21The Masked Girl from Mighty Girl.
01:02:23I finally know her name.
01:02:25Michelle.
01:02:27Shit.
01:02:28That finally makes sense.
01:02:30Of course,
01:02:31you wouldn't knowingly
01:02:32become a bigamist.
01:02:34Shelby.
01:02:35Fuck.
01:02:37What am I gonna tell her?
01:02:38Look, it could still
01:02:39be one big mistake.
01:02:41I need to talk to that priest.
01:02:49I have something for you.
01:02:59I hacked into the parish database.
01:03:01Griffin Roy is legally married
01:03:02to both Michelle Lane
01:03:03and Shelby Trudeau.
01:03:05That's it.
01:03:07He's finished.
01:03:09Griffin Roy
01:03:10will be in jail
01:03:11for bigamy
01:03:12before cocktail hour.
01:03:14Michelle Lane
01:03:15is Shelby Trudeau.
01:03:17They're legally married
01:03:18to each other
01:03:19on two separate occasions.
01:03:20They just don't know it yet.
01:03:22That's insane.
01:03:24Check the date.
01:03:25They got married
01:03:26the first time
01:03:27during Mighty Girl.
01:03:28Roy was obviously
01:03:29publicly intoxicated.
01:03:30We could use that angle.
01:03:32Yeah, the romance
01:03:33is already trending.
01:03:35He made an idiot
01:03:36of himself
01:03:37with that boombox
01:03:38and voters.
01:03:39Oh,
01:03:40they're just eating it up.
01:03:42He's catching up
01:03:43in the polls.
01:03:45Now,
01:03:46Roy unknowingly
01:03:47marries twice
01:03:48the girl he's been
01:03:49searching for
01:03:50since Mardi Gras.
01:03:51This will make them
01:03:52seem like some
01:03:53fated love story.
01:03:58This will make them
01:03:59seem like some
01:04:00fated love story.
01:04:03We got nothing on him.
01:04:05Honey,
01:04:06we've got everything
01:04:07we need.
01:04:08What they don't know
01:04:09can definitely hurt them.
01:04:11And right now,
01:04:12to Griffin Roy,
01:04:13Michelle Lane
01:04:14could be anybody.
01:04:18You would have given
01:04:19Machiavelli a run
01:04:20for his money,
01:04:21my dear.
01:04:22Who?
01:04:26Well,
01:04:27we have a very limited window
01:04:28to make this work.
01:04:30We will hit hard,
01:04:32and we'll hit fast.
01:04:35What is she going to say
01:04:36when I tell her I'm married?
01:04:40All right,
01:04:41ladies,
01:04:42good job.
01:04:43That's it for tonight.
01:04:44Remember,
01:04:45this weekend's Mardi Gras.
01:04:46Have fun,
01:04:47but you know what to do
01:04:48if anybody messes with you.
01:04:50Nice work.
01:04:52Hi.
01:04:54Hungry?
01:04:57Yeah,
01:04:58so,
01:04:59today's class went super well.
01:05:01Two new students.
01:05:02They really
01:05:03picked up on a lot of things.
01:05:04You're everything
01:05:05I've ever wanted.
01:05:06Everything I didn't even
01:05:07dare to dream.
01:05:09You're it for me.
01:05:10I can't lose you.
01:05:12Griffin,
01:05:13are you okay?
01:05:15Yeah.
01:05:17Just some stuff
01:05:18for the campaign.
01:05:21I want to help.
01:05:22LaRoche can't win.
01:05:24He and Isabel are evil.
01:05:26You're the kind of man
01:05:27that people need.
01:05:28I can't imagine
01:05:29anyone else but myself.
01:05:31I'll come by the campaign
01:05:32office tomorrow.
01:05:33We will plan
01:05:34a siege
01:05:35that surrounds
01:05:36them from all sides.
01:05:38That sounds amazing, Cheryl.
01:05:47Father?
01:05:51I remembered
01:05:52the two of you.
01:05:54You had it, lad.
01:05:55That special spark.
01:05:57I don't see it often
01:05:58in couples,
01:05:59but when I do,
01:06:00it makes an impression.
01:06:01You must be mistaken.
01:06:03This woman and I,
01:06:04we'd met that day.
01:06:06And you were already
01:06:07finishing each other's sentences,
01:06:08dying to tie the knot.
01:06:09There was no stopping you.
01:06:11I was drunk.
01:06:12Drunk with love.
01:06:14The man I married
01:06:15knew what he was doing.
01:06:17I mean, how is this even legal?
01:06:18New Orleans has
01:06:19a 24-hour waiting period.
01:06:21Unless the judge waives it.
01:06:22Son of a bitch.
01:06:24Who was it?
01:06:25He was your best man.
01:06:26You called him Remy.
01:06:28Remy Cal,
01:06:29that bastard.
01:06:32No wonder he always had
01:06:33that stupid smirk on his face
01:06:34whenever I stood
01:06:35before him in court.
01:06:37Fuck.
01:06:39Fuck.
01:06:43I don't care.
01:06:44I don't care.
01:06:45We need to
01:06:46annul the marriage now.
01:06:47I love my wife.
01:06:48You're in a bit of a pickle,
01:06:49because in my book,
01:06:52you love Joe the wife as well.
01:06:54Sir,
01:06:56Mrs. Arrez
01:06:57in your office
01:06:58with Mr. Durand.
01:06:59Shelby.
01:07:04Griffin,
01:07:05this is the woman
01:07:06you've been looking for.
01:07:07This is Michelle Lane.
01:07:10Hi, Griffin.
01:07:12You might not remember me,
01:07:13but we got married
01:07:14three years ago.
01:07:15So you've been an escort
01:07:16for seven years.
01:07:17That's right,
01:07:18since high school.
01:07:19And that really
01:07:20is your toddler?
01:07:21My baby girl, Fleur.
01:07:23She has no daddy.
01:07:24This will be good for her.
01:07:29If I may ask,
01:07:30how will she pass
01:07:31the DNA test?
01:07:32That is the least
01:07:33of your worries.
01:07:35I don't care.
01:07:36I don't care.
01:07:38I don't care.
01:07:39I don't care.
01:07:40I don't care.
01:07:41I don't care.
01:07:42I don't care.
01:07:43I don't care.
01:07:44All right.
01:07:45Chop, chop.
01:07:51Now, action.
01:07:55Hi, Griffin.
01:07:56You might not remember me,
01:07:57but we got married
01:07:58three years ago.
01:08:00It was Mardi Gras.
01:08:02We were completely wasted
01:08:03and we ended up
01:08:04in some church
01:08:05with an Irish priest.
01:08:07We had a wild night
01:08:08at the hotel
01:08:09and well,
01:08:10Fleur was the happy accident
01:08:12nine months later.
01:08:14It can't be true.
01:08:16I've never met you in my life.
01:08:18I mean,
01:08:19you were wearing masks.
01:08:20Yes, that's right.
01:08:21We were.
01:08:23By the time I found out
01:08:24I was pregnant,
01:08:25two months had passed.
01:08:26I've been trying
01:08:27to find you ever since,
01:08:28but it wasn't until
01:08:29I saw one of your ads
01:08:30for Congress
01:08:31that I recognized your voice.
01:08:32It was a miracle.
01:08:34It's too much.
01:08:35She's losing him.
01:08:37Tone it down.
01:08:38Tone it down.
01:08:42Listen,
01:08:43lady,
01:08:44I don't know what you're trying to con
01:08:45with this ad.
01:08:46Griffin, don't.
01:08:48But there is
01:08:49no way in hell
01:08:50that I'm married to you.
01:08:52What's going on, Griffin?
01:08:56Is this woman really your wife?
01:09:01No.
01:09:02She's not.
01:09:03We don't know.
01:09:05Which is it?
01:09:06You are my wife.
01:09:07Only you.
01:09:10I understand
01:09:11this is a lot to take in.
01:09:12Fleur and I will just go.
01:09:14I'll have my lawyer reach out.
01:09:16No.
01:09:17No lawyers.
01:09:18We don't need to involve
01:09:19any authorities.
01:09:20This can all be solved
01:09:22with a simple DNA test.
01:09:24Pierce,
01:09:25this woman is a fraud.
01:09:27Griffin, think about it.
01:09:28She says Fleur is your daughter.
01:09:30One little test
01:09:31and that'll prove
01:09:32if she's lying or not.
01:09:33We need to know, Griffin.
01:09:35I need to know.
01:09:38Fine.
01:09:39But I don't want
01:09:40these doubts to fester.
01:09:41We can rush the DNA results
01:09:42and get them back in a few hours.
01:09:44Might I suggest
01:09:45a more private setting?
01:09:47Less ice.
01:09:48Understood.
01:09:50We can wait back at my house
01:09:51for the results to come.
01:09:59We've got him.
01:10:00You're up.
01:10:11Hi.
01:10:30Cute kid.
01:10:32Don't.
01:10:34Just don't.
01:10:36Shelby go upstairs?
01:10:38She fed them snacks.
01:10:40And then
01:10:42locked herself in the guest room.
01:10:45I can't lose her,
01:10:47Pierce.
01:10:49I won't.
01:10:58Moment of truth, buddy.
01:11:10Fleur,
01:11:12meet your daddy.
01:11:14I will, of course,
01:11:16provide for you both
01:11:18financially.
01:11:20Fleur doesn't need a checkbook.
01:11:22She needs a father.
01:11:40What do you want?
01:11:42The guest bedroom is empty.
01:11:45You and Fleur can stay there.
01:11:49Shelby,
01:11:51just
01:11:52don't do this.
01:11:54Just give me some time.
01:11:56I can fix it.
01:11:58This isn't something you fix.
01:12:00You can't be legally married.
01:12:02I can't be legally married.
01:12:04I can't be legally married.
01:12:06I can't be legally married.
01:12:08I can't be legally married.
01:12:10You're married to two women at the same time
01:12:12and you have a child with one of them.
01:12:16We need to get a divorce.
01:12:21She's right, Griff.
01:12:23Griffin, you have a daughter now.
01:12:25You're a father
01:12:27and you have to put your child first.
01:12:30I can't be Margot.
01:12:32I won't do that to another little girl.
01:12:36I've spent my whole life
01:12:38looking for you.
01:12:40How can I let you go?
01:12:45Sometimes love isn't enough.
01:12:51How did you know Shelby
01:12:53would leave him because of the kid?
01:12:55Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people.
01:12:57It's not in her nature to put herself first.
01:12:59Oh,
01:13:00you're a scary woman.
01:13:02I know.
01:13:07Hi, I'm Jamie.
01:13:08Hi, I'm Fannie.
01:13:10I'm Shelby's real name.
01:13:11We've been expecting you.
01:13:12It's true.
01:13:19So this is what it feels like
01:13:21to have your heart shattered?
01:13:38I'm sorry.
01:14:08That's strange.
01:14:10I thought I heard something.
01:14:38It's like she was
01:14:40never here.
01:14:54Hey, mister.
01:14:56Will you
01:14:57marry me?
01:14:59She took everything
01:15:01from me.
01:15:03She took everything
01:15:05from me.
01:15:06She took everything
01:15:08but left this behind.
01:15:10Message received, Shelby.
01:15:22What the hell is this?
01:15:25I know this sounds crazy
01:15:27and there's no time to explain,
01:15:29but if you help me,
01:15:31I promise a generous reward
01:15:33once I get my inheritance.
01:15:34The owner must really trust you.
01:15:40Could it be?
01:15:53It's her.
01:15:54It's always been her.
01:15:57Yeah, it went better
01:15:58than I expected.
01:16:00Yeah, it went better
01:16:01than I expected.
01:16:02As soon as you saw
01:16:03the Forge DNA test,
01:16:04it was a done deal.
01:16:05Who is she working for?
01:16:07How long am I supposed
01:16:08to stay here
01:16:09while you take care of Shelby?
01:16:10Give me a name.
01:16:11Come on, just one name.
01:16:13Mrs. LaRoche,
01:16:14that's cutting it close.
01:16:15I want to be long gone
01:16:16when he finds out she's dead.
01:16:19Where is Shelby?
01:16:21Where is my wife?
01:16:23Where is Isabel taking me?
01:16:24I don't know
01:16:25what you're talking about.
01:16:26I will have you put away
01:16:27for the rest of your life
01:16:28and your daughter
01:16:29will grow up
01:16:30in a fucking orphanage.
01:16:31I don't know where she is.
01:16:33If I knew, I'd tell you,
01:16:34I swear.
01:16:49What is wrong with me?
01:16:54Help!
01:16:56Somebody help!
01:16:59Do you need some water?
01:17:01Oh wait,
01:17:02I see you've already had some.
01:17:04You poisoned me?
01:17:06Why?
01:17:08Why?
01:17:09Why?
01:17:11Where to begin?
01:17:14Lingering high school issues,
01:17:15offs.
01:17:17I'm helping Neville's campaign,
01:17:18duh.
01:17:20But the real reason,
01:17:21the one that cuts deep,
01:17:23is to make Griffin Roy
01:17:24think he's a bigamist.
01:17:27By the time he figures out
01:17:29he married the same woman twice,
01:17:31he'll have gone missing,
01:17:33vanished without a trace.
01:17:36He'll be forced
01:17:37to withdraw from the race.
01:17:39Later,
01:17:40when an anonymous tip
01:17:41tells the police
01:17:42where to find your body,
01:17:43suspicion will follow Griffin
01:17:45for the rest of his life.
01:17:47Any political future
01:17:48he may have had
01:17:49will be as dead as you.
01:17:50Net?
01:17:52Back up.
01:17:54Married?
01:17:55Twice?
01:17:58Who's the
01:18:00the woman
01:18:01and the little girl?
01:18:03Oh,
01:18:04just some cheap whore
01:18:05I hired to tell your husband
01:18:07that they've been married
01:18:08for the past three years.
01:18:09When really,
01:18:11it's been you all along.
01:18:13You've been searching
01:18:14for each other
01:18:15all this time.
01:18:17But now he'll never find you.
01:18:20Alright boys,
01:18:21she's all yours.
01:18:28I told you I'd get you back.
01:18:30Miss Trudeau,
01:18:32why are you here?
01:18:33My daughter,
01:18:34my,
01:18:35my baby,
01:18:36she's here.
01:18:37I'm scared
01:18:38she's gonna do something
01:18:39terrible.
01:18:40What do you mean
01:18:41terrible?
01:18:42What's going on?
01:18:43I sold everything
01:18:44to get her
01:18:45out on bail
01:18:46and you,
01:18:47what does she do
01:18:48in return?
01:18:49She's,
01:18:50she's gone crazy.
01:18:51She's stalking Shelby.
01:18:52She tailed her
01:18:53to some
01:18:54hotel
01:18:55and she's
01:18:56gone crazy.
01:18:58She's gone crazy.
01:18:59Hotel
01:19:00in the French Quarter.
01:19:02What hotel?
01:19:04Excuse me sir,
01:19:05my sister's staying here
01:19:06but I've forgotten
01:19:07her room number.
01:19:08Is Shelby Trudeau?
01:19:10Sorry ma'am,
01:19:11we can't disclose
01:19:12any guest information.
01:19:20Shelby,
01:19:24come out,
01:19:25come out,
01:19:26wherever you are.
01:19:29I think I'll do it
01:19:30with my bare hands,
01:19:32make some more personal.
01:19:35Actually,
01:19:36do me a favor,
01:19:37leave a lot of marks
01:19:38on that vase of hers.
01:19:41Fuck you.
01:19:42I want people to see
01:19:43that she suffered
01:19:44a lot.
01:19:45Oh, trust me,
01:19:46she will.
01:19:48Come on,
01:19:49let's get this party
01:19:50started.
01:19:52Oh,
01:19:53oh,
01:19:54oh,
01:19:55oh,
01:19:56oh,
01:19:57oh,
01:19:58oh,
01:19:59oh,
01:20:00oh,
01:20:02oh,
01:20:03oh.
01:20:11Well,
01:20:12look what you've done.
01:20:16Pansy ass slap.
01:20:19She's stalling
01:20:20and you're falling for it.
01:20:22Damn,
01:20:23you can't go to the ballet
01:20:24smelling like a dive bar.
01:20:26I'll never give you
01:20:27keys. Shelby has clothes over there. James. I'll take care of me. You go take care of her.
01:20:41About the clip, Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Lane. It was after her parents
01:20:46divorced at her mother's request. She only returned to her original name
01:20:50after her mother passed three years ago.
01:20:51It's starting to make sense now. It was harder on my mom. She didn't want
01:20:59anything to do with him, so I cut him off too. Even started using my mom's maiden name.
01:21:05She's the one you've been looking for. It's been her all this time.
01:21:09How could it be so blind? Of course it had to be Shelby. It had to be her.
01:21:15My heart knew what my brain couldn't see. I got it. Your girl's in room 801.
01:21:22Thanks, man. Now I can go save the love of my life.
01:21:32Too much to drink.
01:21:42Stop right there.
01:21:48Not so fast.
01:21:52Fucking Roy. Finally joined the party. I'm here for my wife. Not gonna happen,
01:21:59brah. What you've done here is aggravated assault, but if you leave this hotel with her,
01:22:04it's kidnapping. That is a federal crime. They'll bring in the FBI.
01:22:10Someone will have to be around to identify us. That sure as hell won't be you.
01:22:16Did you get all that, Pierce? Police are on their way. Hang in there, buddy.
01:22:22You're not getting out of here alive, Roy.
01:22:43Give me my wife back now!
01:22:52Come on!
01:23:01Shelby, you all right?
01:23:21Come on.
01:23:38Griff, my god. Do you need medical attention? No, but they do.
01:23:52I guess I renewed my man card. Sure did, honey. Fucked him up real good.
01:24:00Oh, lord. Please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:24:13Shelby, you little bitch! Did I not say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:24:19What? That's not Shelby! Put your hands up or I can see them.
01:24:32This is the last one. Hey, hey, hey. I want to make a deal.
01:24:35What do you have to offer up? Congressman Neville LaRoche. I'm all ears.
01:24:40Is it really over? Yeah, it is.
01:24:51Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but three years ago, did we...
01:25:00You left us.
01:25:02It's true. I can't believe I finally found you. I looked for you
01:25:16in the face of every woman I ever met. Why'd you never come back?
01:25:31It's called a walk of shame, not a laugh of it. Mind your own business, Cece.
01:25:43Look at you, Shelby. One Mardi Gras hookup, and you think you found happily ever after.
01:25:49That's not how life works. Sure, he may have liked you with a mask on,
01:25:53but he's not going to want you with it all. Look, you both have a great memory now,
01:25:59but you'll look back and you'll see that you're just the clueless chick who didn't know the score.
01:26:06You'll embarrass yourself, and more importantly, you'll embarrass him.
01:26:14I waited in that hotel for two days. I'm sorry I let her get to me, but to be honest,
01:26:20what we had seemed too good to be true. How often do people fall in love with someone
01:26:25without ever seeing their face? Exactly.
01:26:31But I did. I do. Where do we go from here? Married twice, deeply in love,
01:26:40risked our lives to save each other. I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:26:45Shelby, will you? Yes, Gryffinroy.
01:26:55I will always love you. In this life or the next.
