00:00:00I'm bored.
00:00:12According to Mr. Trudeau's will, your eldest daughter, Miss Shelby Trudeau, must be married
00:00:18by five o'clock today, or she loses her inheritance.
00:00:23That un-ladylike girl is not my daughter, but bad enough I'm her stepmother.
00:00:28Hi, and hello.
00:00:29We want Shelby to know she's a show, that's the way we get everything.
00:00:45I'm Sergeant Shelby Trudeau.
00:00:47I'm here to claim my inheritance.
00:00:49Well, look who it is, the prodigal sister.
00:00:52And dressed in your old uniform.
00:00:54Pathetic.
00:00:55Still trying to play hero.
00:00:57I'm in the Army Reserve now, Cece.
00:00:59I was doing weekend drills with my unit.
00:01:02The will, please.
00:01:04Ooh, the Army Reserve.
00:01:07Should've just died in the field like a good little soldier.
00:01:10No one would've missed you.
00:01:11Shut your trap before I shut it for you.
00:01:15Look, you don't have to respect me, but don't you dare speak about soldiers dying in vain
00:01:19on the battlefield.
00:01:21God, look around, Cece.
00:01:23Your curled hair and your frilly dress.
00:01:25Do you think any of that would be possible without others sacrificing?
00:01:29You have freedom and peace because someone else is carrying the burden.
00:01:39Of course.
00:01:41The will, Sergeant Trudeau.
00:01:43And I want to thank you for your service.
00:01:50Your father's will stipulates that the inheritance is yours
00:01:53only if signed by both you and your spouse.
00:01:59That means you've got 15 minutes to find a husband, Shelby.
00:02:02Tick tock.
00:02:15Don't say I'm a bad stepmother.
00:02:17Give up your inheritance and I'll give you one percent.
00:02:21Better than nothing.
00:02:23You stole my father from me most of my life.
00:02:25You will not take what he left me.
00:02:28And what this money could do to help the gym and all the women that are part of it.
00:02:35Really, Shelby?
00:02:36Who's gonna marry you anyhow?
00:02:38The last guy you even slept with was a one-night stand three years ago at Mardi Gras.
00:02:51Don't.
00:02:52Keep the mystery.
00:02:56You've already lost, Shelby.
00:02:58Take the one percent I'm offering and be grateful for it.
00:03:02Right.
00:03:03You're not even gonna find a bum on the street to marry you in time.
00:03:08Watch me.
00:03:13Watch me.
00:03:15Watch me.
00:03:30Don't worry.
00:03:37He looks single.
00:03:39Oh my god, this is totally food poisoning.
00:03:41He looks single.
00:03:42Oh my god, this is totally food poisoning.
00:03:46Suck it up, soldier.
00:03:47You can't let your evil stepmother and stepsister win.
00:03:53Hey, mister.
00:03:55Will you marry me?
00:04:05I know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain, but
00:04:08if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance.
00:04:12Well, this day just got a whole lot more interesting.
00:04:14So you won't have to live on the streets anymore.
00:04:16Do I look like a homeless person to her?
00:04:18Priceless.
00:04:22Shelby Trudeau, are you insane?
00:04:24You can't marry this...
00:04:26Help-o.
00:04:29Shelby Trudeau.
00:04:30The late Judge Trudeau's eldest daughter.
00:04:33That's right.
00:04:34The judge said she was a soldier.
00:04:36He didn't mention she was beautiful, too.
00:04:39Here's a few bucks.
00:04:41Take it and get lost.
00:04:42Don't meddle in our business.
00:04:44Don't speak to him like that.
00:04:46He's a person with feelings.
00:04:49The Cinderella Tale.
00:04:50Complete with an evil stepmother and obnoxious stepsister.
00:04:54It's clear who deserves my help.
00:04:56And the timing couldn't be better for me.
00:04:59Alright.
00:05:00Let's get married.
00:05:07THE CINDERELLA TALE
00:05:16Names for the marriage certificate?
00:05:18Shelby Trudeau.
00:05:21And your name is?
00:05:24Griffin Roy.
00:05:37And congratulations, you...
00:05:39lovebirds?
00:05:50This isn't over.
00:05:51Tell her!
00:05:58I'm sorry.
00:05:59I'm sorry.
00:06:01I'm sorry.
00:06:02I'm sorry.
00:06:03I'm sorry.
00:06:04I'm sorry.
00:06:06Sergeant Trudeau.
00:06:07Mrs. Roy.
00:06:09You have to stay married for at least one full year.
00:06:13Or everything goes to your stepmother and stepsister.
00:06:17You hear that, Shelby?
00:06:19You won't last a week with that hobo.
00:06:25Come on.
00:06:31I guess we'll need to keep in touch.
00:06:33But you probably don't have a permanent address.
00:06:38Once the estate gets settled and I have the money,
00:06:40we can get you an apartment and set you up with a job.
00:06:44When most people get what they wanted, they usually just walk away.
00:06:48I'm not most people.
00:06:51I see that.
00:06:59I gotta return this.
00:07:01Goodbye for now.
00:07:04Goodbye, wife.
00:07:18Where the hell have you been?
00:07:31Fuck.
00:07:37Gotcha.
00:07:38Seriously, this is over the top, even for you.
00:07:43This DNA.
00:07:44Get it to Detective McSwain right away.
00:07:46Look, as your campaign manager, I need you to be more focused on your image, okay?
00:07:51You'll never catch LaRoche dumpster diving.
00:07:57Look.
00:07:58Marrying Isabel was the best decision of my life.
00:08:03You know, when you elected me to Congress three years ago,
00:08:07you got a package deal.
00:08:08Griffin Roy, just another billionaire bachelor.
00:08:12Playboy lawyer.
00:08:13Best.
00:08:15This, my friend, is where you're vulnerable.
00:08:17In a snap, I can line up a dozen beautiful, successful women
00:08:21who want me for what I am, not who I am.
00:08:23Look, you can't keep pining over some girl you met three years ago.
00:08:28It's not just some girl.
00:08:29We had a connection.
00:08:32Never had that before.
00:08:39Look, I gotta run.
00:08:40But Griffin, you need to find a woman who can stand by your side.
00:08:44Someone real.
00:08:46Not this made-up mystery girl you've built up in your head.
00:08:54Okay.
00:09:06Remember that true strength is not physical.
00:09:08It comes from the belief that you are worth defending.
00:09:12Alright, guys.
00:09:13That's class.
00:09:14Nice work.
00:09:21So what's the latest on the STD super spreader?
00:09:24I tried to call him, but Mr. Chlamydia blocked my number.
00:09:29Who knows how many other women he's done this to.
00:09:32So I was thinking maybe it's time to go by his place and confront him in person.
00:09:39What's holding you back?
00:09:40Andre's no regular guy, Shelby.
00:09:42He's got a bro pack.
00:09:43These men are like wolves with money.
00:09:46Let's go.
00:09:47We'll face this douchebag together.
00:10:08What's your name?
00:10:09I'm Stephanie.
00:10:11How about a drink, huh?
00:10:12Oh, that's okay.
00:10:13Come on.
00:10:14One little drink won't do no harm.
00:10:16Okay, one drink.
00:10:18Really, Pierce?
00:10:19This clown is the one who controls the town's power brokers.
00:10:23You want to beat LaRoche?
00:10:24You got to mingle with the good, the bad, and the Andres.
00:10:33I can't believe I slept with that.
00:10:36What was I thinking?
00:10:38I guess I can't hold my liquor.
00:10:39I mean, the night was just one big black hole.
00:10:43It wasn't the alcohol that caused you to black out.
00:10:50Thanks.
00:10:51That creep.
00:10:54You dickless loser.
00:11:03Drugging girls to get laid.
00:11:05What the fuck?
00:11:06Get out of my house, skank.
00:11:07Get out of my house, skank.
00:11:09I'm the skank?
00:11:11That's funny.
00:11:12You're the one spreading chlamydia.
00:11:14Shut the fuck up and get out of my house.
00:11:18Unless you're back for more, I know how much of a whore you really are.
00:11:21You like spreading your legs, don't you?
00:11:24I just told you that you have chlamydia and you...
00:11:27Oh, my God.
00:11:28You already know you have it.
00:11:31And you don't care.
00:11:33Ladies!
00:11:34Andre Ivanov has been knowingly spreading chlamydia.
00:11:44What is she doing here?
00:11:46Both of you, get out of here.
00:11:52Oh, shit.
00:11:53She can't know who I am yet.
00:11:59Do you know who I am?
00:12:01I don't care.
00:12:02I don't care.
00:12:08Where did she come from?
00:12:09That's my wife.
00:12:11Isn't she amazing?
00:12:12And she's gonna cost you, Andre, once he finds out you're married to her?
00:12:15I don't care.
00:12:16You think you can crash my party and put that ninja shit on me?
00:12:21You are one dead bitch.
00:12:33Oh, nice.
00:12:34Did you see that combo?
00:12:35Dude, she can fight.
00:12:36Look at her form, man.
00:12:42Dude, she can really fight, man.
00:12:44You are hopeless.
00:12:47Hey, swap me jackets.
00:12:49I'll give you my Rolex.
00:13:03Fuck!
00:13:13Fuck you, Roy!
00:13:14I'll do everything I can to end you!
00:13:17We should get out of here.
00:13:18Yeah, yeah.
00:13:19Come on.
00:13:23Get him!
00:13:26You lied to me.
00:13:27You're not some homeless guy.
00:13:29Okay, when did I say I was homeless?
00:13:31You were next to a dumpster.
00:13:33That's not much of a leap.
00:13:34What were you doing at this party?
00:13:36Working the room.
00:13:37Oh.
00:13:38Thought you were one of those asshole rich guys.
00:13:42I'm sorry.
00:13:43I hope I didn't cost you your job.
00:13:45I know how you can make it up to me.
00:13:47Have dinner with me.
00:13:51My place is nearby.
00:13:52I'll whip something up as a thank you for tonight.
00:13:54Wow.
00:13:55A wife who cooks and kicks ass.
00:13:58I'm one lucky man.
00:14:00Don't push it.
00:14:09Hey, dinner's ready.
00:14:16This is nice.
00:14:17I haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time.
00:14:20It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed.
00:14:23How long were you in the military?
00:14:24Seven years.
00:14:25I joined right after high school.
00:14:27My mom had just died and I was feeling rudderless.
00:14:31You weren't close with your father?
00:14:34I was.
00:14:35He was my hero.
00:14:37Until he wasn't.
00:14:40He cheated on my mom with Margo.
00:14:42He was the judge and she was the court stenographer.
00:14:46It was quite the scandal at the time.
00:14:48It must have been really hard for you.
00:14:51It was harder on my mom.
00:14:53She didn't want anything to do with him, so I cut him off too.
00:14:56And started using my mom's maiden name.
00:14:58But then three years ago, he reached out, told me he was sick,
00:15:01so I came to New Orleans for a visit.
00:15:04Here I am.
00:15:05Here you are.
00:15:07Enough about me.
00:15:08What's your story, Griffin Roy?
00:15:14Shelby Trudeau, come on out now.
00:15:16We know you're in there, Shelby.
00:15:17The light is on.
00:15:18We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:15:21We are not leaving until you open this door.
00:15:24Hey.
00:15:25I'll handle this.
00:15:31Oh.
00:15:32I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling, but it's just you two.
00:15:36And you are?
00:15:37That's a homeless guy that Shelby married.
00:15:39What are you doing here?
00:15:41Why wouldn't Griffin be here?
00:15:43He's my husband, after all.
00:15:46Mama, what are we going to do?
00:15:47We need to challenge the will, but how can we do that if they're still together?
00:15:50Shut up, Cece.
00:15:51Oh.
00:15:52I see you're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance.
00:15:55How pathetic.
00:15:56And pointless.
00:15:57Look how in love we are.
00:16:00I'll be back.
00:16:02Enjoy the little victory while it lasts.
00:16:05Right.
00:16:06We're going to shred that will and your shame of marriage in no time.
00:16:09That time.
00:16:20Margo and Cece are going to be a problem.
00:16:22There's no way they'll let us be.
00:16:24What if we moved in together?
00:16:27You want to live here?
00:16:29No.
00:16:30Somewhere with better security.
00:16:32Like my place.
00:16:35Sure.
00:16:36I'm dying to see where you live.
00:16:40So, let me get this straight.
00:16:45You told her you're house-sitting?
00:16:47That's right.
00:16:48Said I was going to watch the house while the owner was in Europe for the year.
00:16:52You do know how crazy that sounds.
00:16:54Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:17:00I saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you.
00:17:03That's very flattering, but you don't know anything about me.
00:17:07I know you take my breath away.
00:17:09And I know that I would wonder for the rest of my life if I didn't take this chance.
00:17:14Even if it was only for one night.
00:17:16Maybe it's better this way.
00:17:19No names, no past.
00:17:22We can just be ourselves.
00:17:24I'd like that very much.
00:17:27The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy.
00:17:30She liked me for me.
00:17:32And I want that again, Pierce.
00:17:34Even for a little while.
00:17:38I love you.
00:17:44Stash all this stuff in the garage, please.
00:17:47Griffin, you're a public figure.
00:17:50A lot of people know who you are.
00:17:52How long do you think you can keep this charade up?
00:17:54I don't know.
00:17:56But I have a chance to be with someone without all the crap that goes along with being a Roy.
00:18:00Well, just remember.
00:18:02We're about to launch a multi-platform campaign.
00:18:05In two weeks, TV, radio, social, billboards, your face is about to be everywhere.
00:18:12Then I better make the most of the next 14 days.
00:18:35This place is insane.
00:18:36The owner must really trust you.
00:18:39Yep, we're pretty tight.
00:18:42Here, let me show you to your room.
00:18:50I can't keep living in the past.
00:18:53Maybe it's time to see what the future holds.
00:18:57Goodbye, mystery lover.
00:19:05I take it things are going well with Xena Warrior Princess.
00:19:08Oh, she's so exciting and competitive.
00:19:10Keeps me on my toes.
00:19:12Oh, and so damn beautiful.
00:19:14Very sweaty, no makeup, so damn real.
00:19:17Well, when do I get to meet her?
00:19:19Her military background and work with actress women.
00:19:22Well, when do I get to meet her?
00:19:24Her military background and work with actress women will be a real asset for both female and male voters.
00:19:29Dial it back, Pierce. We're in the early stages.
00:19:32Alright, well, don't take too long.
00:19:34You married her for the campaign.
00:19:36And it's not like she can dump you once she finds out.
00:19:39She needs you for her inheritance.
00:19:50Gun!
00:19:53Hey.
00:19:54I'm taking care of you tonight.
00:19:56Oh, I like the sound of that.
00:19:58Get your mind out of the gutter, woman.
00:20:00I'm talking food here.
00:20:02Alright, in that case, surprise me.
00:20:04Trust me, I'm full of surprises.
00:20:07I bet you are.
00:20:09See you soon.
00:20:22Gotcha, sis.
00:20:24So this is where you've been hiding out.
00:20:37Did you want some of my wine?
00:20:53I turned off your alarm.
00:20:55You obviously needed to sleep.
00:20:57We can run tonight.
00:20:58P.S. You snore.
00:21:00But it's super cute.
00:21:02I do not snore, Gryffinroy.

00:45:45not everyone's about trash like you Isabel
00:45:50it is a wonder how you overcame your low-class origins and gained my interest that wasn't your
00:45:57interest darling that was your cock too shame my dear why are you looking at a picture of her
00:46:05do you know Shelby Trudeau well she went by Michelle in high school but yeah that's her
00:46:12she was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school
00:46:17from bullies like you per se oh that is unfortunate
00:46:25you'll have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect
00:46:29Neville no I mean your new bestie Isabel
00:46:40it's cooling off we should go inside just a few more minutes can't remember the last time I let
00:46:48myself just be yeah I think it was when my parents were still together before the divorce
00:46:58the cheating mom getting sick I was carefree then I joined the army after but that was just
00:47:05another roller coaster it's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory
00:47:11cutting off weapon supply routes I'm glad you feel safe here it's not the place it's the person
00:47:20I feel like I've known you forever

00:48:33I was a mean girl in high school and I'm really ashamed of it what you've built here is so
00:48:44empowering if I had had something like this growing up then maybe I would have found the
00:48:49courage to stop my pa from all the horrible things he did to me and ma
00:48:57Shelby can we start over would you let me try to make it right

00:50:35same vicious bully inside you didn't come to my gym by accident what's your angle

00:50:46reasons why I fucking loathe you what's my angle Shelby the complete and utter destruction of
00:50:56Griffin Roy and if I can take you down with him all the better

01:00:31you're a goddamn bigamist Griffin Roy
01:00:37Michelle Lane I don't even know who that is well you knew her well enough to marry her three years
01:00:42ago this can't be right I got it from a parish clerk she's agreed to keep it hush hush for now
01:00:51the ceremony was conducted at a church the priest signed and completed the marriage certificate
01:00:56signed and completed the marriage certificate father Timothy O'Shea
01:01:04I now pronounce ye man and wife
01:01:08the mask girl from Hardy girl I finally know her name Michelle shit that finally makes sense
01:01:18of course you wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist Shelby fuck what am I gonna tell her
01:01:26look it could still be one big mistake I need to talk to that priest
01:01:37I have something for you
01:01:46I hacked into the parish database Griffin Roy is legally married to both Michelle Lane
01:01:51and Shelby Trudeau that's it he's finished Griffin Roy will be in jail for bigamy for
01:01:59cocktail hour Michelle Lane is Shelby Trudeau they're legally married to each other on two
01:02:06separate occasions they just don't know it yet that's insane check the date they got married
01:02:13the first time during Mardi Gras Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated we could use that angle
01:02:20yeah the romance is already trending he made an idiot of himself with that boombox and voters oh
01:02:27they're just eating it up he's catching up in the polls now Roy unknowingly marries twice
01:02:36the girl he's been searching for since Mardi Gras this will make them seem like some
01:02:41fated love story
01:02:45this will make them seem like some fated love story
01:02:51we got nothing on him honey we've got everything we need what they don't know can definitely hurt
01:02:58them and right now to Griffin Roy Michelle Lane could be anybody
01:03:03you would have given Machiavelli a run for his money my dear who
01:03:14well we have a very limited window to make this work we will hit hard but fast
01:03:25what is she gonna say when I tell her I'm married

01:04:59stopping you I was drunk drunk with love the man I married knew what he was doing I mean how is

01:05:22had that stupid smirk on his face whenever I stood before him in court fuck fuck

01:16:28he'll be forced to withdraw from the race later when an anonymous tip tells the police where to

01:22:44I guess I renewed my man card.
01:22:47Sure did, honey. Fucked them up real good.
01:22:52Oh lord, please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing.
01:23:04Shelby!
01:23:06You little bitch!
01:23:08Didn't I say I'd come back here and settle the score?
01:23:12What?
01:23:14That's not Shelby!
01:23:18Put your hands up where I can see them.
01:23:24This is the last one.
01:23:25Hey, hey, hey. I want to make a deal.
01:23:27What do you have to offer up?
01:23:29Congressman Neville LaRoche.
01:23:31I'm all ears.
01:23:39Is it really over?
01:23:41Yeah, it is.
01:23:44Griffin, Isabel said something, and I want to believe it, but three years ago, did we...
01:23:53You have this.
01:24:02It's true.
01:24:05I can't believe I finally found you.
01:24:07I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met.
01:24:12Why'd you never come back?
01:24:14It's called a walk of shame, not a laugh of it.
01:24:34Mind your own business, Cece.
01:24:36Look at you, Shelby.
01:24:38One Mardi Gras hookup, and you think you found happily ever after.
01:24:42That's not how life works.
01:24:44Sure, he may have liked you with a mask on, but he's not going to want you with it off.
01:24:49Look, you both have a great memory now.
01:24:52But you'll look back, and you'll see that you're just the clueless chick who didn't know the score.
01:24:59You'll embarrass yourself, and more importantly, you'll embarrass him.
01:25:08I waited in that hotel for two days.
01:25:11I'm sorry I let her get to me.
01:25:13But to be honest, what we had seemed too good to be true.
01:25:17How often do people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:25:21Exactly.
01:25:25But I did.
01:25:27And I do.
01:25:29Where do we go from here?
01:25:31Married twice, deeply in love, risked our lives to save each other.
01:25:36I'd say we live happily ever after.
01:25:41Shelby, will you...
01:25:44Yes, Gryffinroy.
01:25:49I will always love you.
01:25:51In this life, it's the next.
