00:15:20Hey dinners ready
00:15:23I
00:15:28Haven't had a home-cooked meal in a long time. It's one of the things I missed the most when I was deployed
00:15:34How long were you in the military seven years? I joined right after high school
00:15:38My mom had just died and I was feeling
00:15:41rudderless
00:15:42You weren't
00:15:43Close with your father. I was he was my hero
00:15:48Until he wasn't
00:15:51He cheated on my mom with Margo he was the judge and she was the court stenographer
00:15:56It's quite the scandal at the time. I must have been
00:16:00Really hard for you. It was harder on my mom
00:16:03She didn't want anything to do with him
00:16:05So I cut him off to even started using my mom's maiden name
00:16:08But 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. Here you are
00:16:17Enough about me
00:16:18What's your story Griffin Roy?
00:16:24Shelby Trudeau, come on out now. We know you're in there. She'll be the light is on
00:16:29Do you open this door? We are not leaving until you open this door. Hey
00:16:36I'll handle this. Oh
00:16:42I thought I heard a couple of stray cats out here yelling, but it's just you two and you are
00:16:48That's a homeless guy this human married what are you doing here? Why wouldn't Griffin be here? He's my husband after all
00:16:56Mama what are we gonna do? We need to challenge the will but how can we do that? If they're still again? Shut up, Cece
00:17:01Oh, I see. You're still trying to rob my wife of her inheritance. How pathetic and pointless
00:17:08Tell him love we are
00:17:10Enjoy
00:17:13The little victory while it lasts right we're gonna shred that will in your shame of marriage in no time
00:17:30Margo and Cece are gonna be a problem. There's no way they'll let us be what if we moved in together?
00:17:37You want to live here?
00:17:39No
00:17:40somewhere with better security
00:17:42like my place
00:17:45Sure
00:17:46I'm dying to see where you live
00:17:53So, let me get this straight you told her your house sitting that's right said
00:17:58I was gonna watch the house while the owner was in Europe for the year. You do know how crazy that sounds
00:18:04Why can't you just tell her it's your place?
00:18:10I
00:18:10Saw you from across the room and I had to talk to you
00:18:13That's very flattering, but you don't know anything about me. I know you take my breath away
00:18:18I know that I would wonder for the rest of my life if I didn't take this chance
00:18:23Even if it was only for one night, maybe it's better this way
00:18:28No names no past
00:18:31You can just be ourselves. I'd like that very much
00:18:36The girl from Mardi Gras didn't know I was a Roy

00:24:41I mean, how can a homeless man be so clever?

00:34:45Not so tough now are you Shelby?
00:34:48Screw you. I'll just pack up and find a new location
00:34:51Sorry, the building is now closed for
00:34:54Renovation and
00:34:57Everything inside now belongs to me. Hmm, of course you could sue but that would take months
00:35:05Well, what would happen to your gym now Shelby? That's blackmail. We like to call it capitalism
00:35:11You don't sign we close the gym and then you lose everything
00:35:17Think about what you're doing. This gym is a lifeline for so many women. I won't let you take it from them
00:35:24You can beg
00:35:25But I won't budge
00:35:28Be a smart girl and sign the papers by tomorrow or you can kiss your Valkyrie
00:35:34Fight club. Goodbye and watch us turn it into
00:35:39Valkyrie strip club
00:35:42Not a good idea. There's poles and everything. Oh my plenty of girls. Oh, they're cute. Thank you
00:35:48cute enough
00:35:54I
00:35:58Not here because I give a damn if you win
00:36:01I'm here to make sure the Griffin Roy doesn't well the enemy of my enemy is my friend
00:36:08the fuck you say
00:36:10What exactly did Roy do to earn your loathing? He partnered up against me with a she warrior. I
00:36:18Want to see them both destroyed
00:36:21Well with your connections and my political might I think that might be able to be arranged
00:36:30Thank you
00:36:36The roast got Andre what are we gonna do about this?
00:36:40Nothing. We do not want these two pairing up. All right, this is political suicide. Just talk to Shelby
00:36:46Maybe if you both apologize, um, hell no, let them do their best
00:36:51Mark my words. This is gonna come back to bite you in the ass
00:37:00Hello Shelby Griffin, we need to talk
00:37:11Shelby what's going on? You sounded tense on the phone
00:37:17I have so many missed moments things. I should have said or done
00:37:21Chances that were lost that might have been pivotal to my life. I
00:37:25Don't want you to be another moment that I miss
00:37:40You first
00:37:46I
00:38:16I

00:39:25You said you had missed moments
00:39:28I've had them too
00:39:30You will not be one of them. I
00:39:33Know we said we were pretending but I want to give us a chance a real one
00:39:39Oh

00:40:34Guess the bonnie lass why don't you

00:40:53Cece meet me at the gym in one hour. We can go over the divorce papers
00:41:02Goodbye my husband
00:41:10I knew something must have happened
00:41:20Hello Pierce, I need you to use all your connections to find out what Cece and Margo Trudeau did to Shelby yesterday
00:41:29Because of them my wife is divorcing me it's 5 in the morning you have an hour
00:41:40Thank you, how did Cece get the money to buy the entire
00:41:44Rampart Drive building she and Margo Trudeau are using the Trudeau mansion as collateral stupid good for us bad for them
00:41:51And the property title still an escrow the title hasn't been transferred yet
00:41:56Make sure it is
00:41:58Your name you're about to be the proud owner of a mid-rise building on Rampart Drive. Oh
00:42:03goody-goody
00:42:09Talk to me mix way. I showed the fake guards and lock up Cece Trudeau's mugshot. You're right
00:42:15She's the one who hired them to rough up your wife. How'd you know?
00:42:18Had her mo written all over it. I take it the kid gloves are off this time. Oh, yeah
00:42:23Cece Trudeau think she's untouchable. Let's show her just how wrong she is
00:42:35I'm glad you finally came to your senses Shelby
00:42:39definitely have
00:42:41Show time I'm your campaign manager not some hired muscle. Here's what I think about your agreement
00:42:52Did you see that did you see that she chose me man, she chose me well hell looks like she did
00:42:59You fucking bitch
00:43:02That's her cue
00:43:05I
00:43:07Say goodbye to your gym Shelby you're gonna lose everything, you know, at least I still have my self-respect which is more than I can say
00:43:14for you
00:43:16Cece she's basically a man you'll get hurt
00:43:19I will find a way to reclaim what is rightfully mine, but I will never agree to your demands
00:43:26Reclaim what's yours? You're never gonna step foot in your precious gem ever again
00:43:31That
00:43:33Will be difficult to enforce since I now own the building
00:43:38Who are you?
00:43:40Pierce Durant the new owner of 222 Rampart Drive
00:43:47Your deal fell out of escrow I
00:43:50swooped in and bought it
00:43:52That's impossible. I own it
00:43:55Let me spell this out in a way that even an imbecile will understand. I
00:43:59Outbid you the building is mine now scram
00:44:06Mr. Doe, I want to ensure you that your lease is secure. The only change would be a 40% rent reduction
00:44:14That's
00:44:16Unbelievable. Are you sure you can afford that? Oh, yeah
00:44:20Thank you. Mr. Duran
00:44:23The gym means a lot to the women in this community
00:44:29Oh
00:44:31Cece Trudeau, you're under arrest for extortion the fake guards identified you as the one who paid them to attack Shelby Trudeau
00:44:39Okay. Well, but that was last week. You can't arrest me now. We most certainly can and this time the charges won't be dropped
00:44:51You I'm never gonna forget this when I get out
00:45:00I
00:45:04Call everyone Valkyrie Fight Club is back in business
00:45:15Well, aren't you gonna go over there you are the one that orchestrated this whole thing
00:45:20No
00:45:21It's her victory. I merely did what a husband should to ensure happiness
00:45:27That's my reward that is some wild shit you just found it
00:45:31This girl is seriously causing you to lose a grip. You worry too much and you don't worry enough
00:45:37We have a campaign to win and you're ten points behind LaRoche in all the latest polls. What are you driving at?
00:45:43Tell Shelby who you are
00:45:45The voters need to know who your wife is and we need to be able to shape the narrative
00:45:49You wait too long and never LaRoche is gonna find out and beat us to it
00:45:54Okay
00:45:55I'll tell her I just I need a few more days of just me with her
00:46:03Then I'll confess everything
00:46:13That Shelby Trudeau owner of the Valkyrie Fight Club
00:46:18Pretty girl
00:46:20So she's screwing
00:46:22Duranda Roy, I don't know sir
00:46:25That luncheon was so boring at Neville
00:46:28Those stuck-up twats kept going on and on about their precious lineages dating back to the Mayflower
00:46:39Not everyone's white trash like you Isabel
00:46:44There's a wonder how you overcame your
00:46:47Low-class origins and gained my interest that wasn't your interest darling. That was your cock
00:46:54Hmm
00:46:55Too shame I do
00:46:57Why are you looking at a picture of her?
00:46:59Do you know Shelby Trudeau?
00:47:01Well, she went by Michelle in high school. But yeah, that's her
00:47:06She was a star athlete with an annoying habit of defending every loser in school from bullies like you
00:47:13per se
00:47:15That is unfortunate
00:47:18You'll have to work that much harder for when you two reconnect
00:47:24Me and your new bestie Isabel
00:47:33It's cooling off you should go inside
00:47:37Just a few more minutes
00:47:40Can't remember the last time I let myself just be
00:47:45Yeah, I guess when my parents were still together
00:47:49Before the divorce the cheating mom getting sick. I
00:47:55Was carefree then I joined the army after but that was just another roller coaster
00:48:01It's kind of hard to chill when you're deep in hostile territory cutting off weapon supply routes
00:48:07I'm glad you feel safe here
00:48:11It's not the place it's the person
00:48:15Like I've known you forever
00:48:19I
00:48:22Shall be I have to tell you something
00:48:31I guess I can wait one more day
00:48:39Our most sought-after class at Valkyrie is our women's self-defense kickboxing
00:48:45Oh
00:48:47Sign me up
00:48:50Oh shit Isabel the girl who made my life and everyone else is a living hell in high school. What sneaky BS is she up to?
00:48:58Oh my gosh, Michelle, is it you?
00:49:03You look amazing
00:49:05Michelle
00:49:06Shelby and I go way back
00:49:09Gosh, what a small world
00:49:12Well for membership, we offer weekly and monthly subscriptions
00:49:16How about I pay up front for three years and I'll be sure to tell all my friends to join
00:49:22You 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
00:49:34What you've built here is so empowering
00:49:37If I had had something like this growing up and maybe I would have found the courage to
00:49:43Stop my pa from all the horrible things he did to me and ma
00:49:49Shelby can we start over? Would you let me try to make it right?
00:49:57Okay
00:49:59This is so awesome, how about lunch? I'm free to grab a bite right now we can catch up
00:50:07Okay, let me grab my bag
00:50:20Griffin Roy has made criminal justice reform the heart of his campaign
00:50:24He's pro-union and has a five-point plan to improve workplace safety regulations
00:50:30shit
00:50:31No, no, not you. Uh, I got to call you back
00:50:44LaRoche knows about Shelby he sicked Isabelle on it. Look here's an Instagram
00:50:49LaRoche knows about Shelby he sicked Isabelle on it. Look here's an Instagram
00:50:55What the fuck
00:50:57Roches oppo research must have tagged her but we just lost control of the narrative Griffin screw the narrative. It's a trap
00:51:03You've got my wife
00:51:11Thought this was supposed to be a quick bite. I have a business to run
00:51:15You haven't changed a bit since high school so dedicated I've always admired that about you
00:51:22All right, cut the crap Izzy others 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 Neville asked me to befriend you I don't want to be here
00:51:36So 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 and if I can take you down with him all the better
00:51:57Shelby listen to me the press are on their way
00:51:59I don't have time to explain but I fucked up you have to get out of that restaurant now
00:52:05Too
00:52:08Late to run my hubby's here leaving so soon. Mr. Doe or should I say mrs. Roy?
00:52:18Come on Shelby pick up let me know you got out of there
00:52:23Who the hell are you
00:52:25congressman Neville LaRoche
00:52:28Understand why your husband probably never mentioned me seen as how there's so much. He hasn't told you please sit down
00:52:35Isabel was supposed to keep you company until after I arrived
00:52:39No matter we'll do this the less genteel way if we must
00:52:46Both of these men are retired Navy SEALs heard a lot about your fighting skills. So came prepared
00:52:59What's this about
00:53:02What's this about I 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 and actually
00:53:16Well, he's just about one of the wealthiest men in the state. I
00:53:20Can't believe you fell for that
00:53:22Not so smart now. Are you Shelby?
00:53:25You're lying you are Roy's secret bride a
00:53:30Woman, he is so ashamed of he would hide the marriage for the rest of the world
00:53:35when the press arrives
00:53:37You will share your story betrayal with the voters of Louisiana so that they may know
00:53:43What kind of man Roy really is?
00:53:55You
00:53:58Let me go
00:54:00Shelby, please
00:54:02Why did you keep your marriage a secret the voters have a right to know what else are you hiding?
00:54:07You son of a bitch. Well now Roy don't blame others for your own stupid mistakes
00:54:25Joe please hear me out. Don't shell me
00:54:30All of your charm. It's just a lie. I
00:54:33Never meant to let it get this far. I planned on coming clean more lies Griffin Roy. I was gonna tell you today convenient
00:54:42Why didn't you just tell me you were a billionaire from the start? Did you actually think I'd come after you for your money?
00:54:49That was always a possibility
00:54:51Get away from my house, this is technically my home
00:54:56How sitting my ass you are the worst and I never want to see you again
00:55:04Shelby
00:55:10National candidate Griffin Roy has a secret bride. Our reporter is
00:55:21I
00:55:47Gotta get a sip of that
00:55:51Oh
00:56:13This is private property
00:56:15Which I own liar Pierce Durand owns this building he works for me
00:56:20Then I'll move. I don't want to owe you anything
00:56:33Oh
00:56:37Shelby Shelby come out. Would you please I
00:56:42I wake up in the morning and reach for you, but you're not there. I
00:56:54Can't breathe at the thought of losing you
00:57:04You're ridiculous you do know that don't you Oh
00:57:07Oh Shelby Shelby, don't leave me hanging. What are you doing? You're supposed to turn it on
00:57:15Yeah, I
00:57:17Got it from a pawn shop
00:57:19It's broken guy totally scammed me
00:57:23You are beyond ridiculous, please Shelby. I I didn't say what I wanted to before just
00:57:31Give me a chance to explain
00:57:33Fine come in you
00:57:39I'll come into my own
00:57:45You have two minutes
00:57:53Growing up as a Roy
00:57:57No one ever liked me for me
00:58:00It's always been about the money
00:58:03the access
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 and I just remember how freeing it felt
00:58:26So when I met you and I felt that spark I've been searching for I
00:58:32Didn't think I
00:58:34Just fucking left. Why wait so long to tell me I've never
00:58:40Gone into enemy territory to cut off weapons supply routes
00:58:45I boxed in prep school
00:58:47Yeah, you got that, right?
00:58:50but otherwise
00:58:51I've always been more of a lover
00:58:54rather than the fighter
00:58:56And I've done well as a lawyer, but I did not earn those billions I
00:59:03inherited them
00:59:05from
00:59:06generations of dickheads
00:59:10And you meet a girl who's a total package you just want to be her total package, too
00:59:16You really are ridiculous
00:59:19You 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. Sometimes I forget how to let go
00:59:30But with you every day is fun
00:59:33So does that mean you forgive me?
00:59:36I'm thinking about it
00:59:40Yeah, you think too much time for makeup sex
00:59:49So that's makeup sex
00:59:52Yeah
00:59:57Griffin it hurts so much thinking we were over I
01:00:02Never want to feel like that again. I promise not to let anything get in between us
01:00:14This changes everything
01:00:16No, thanks for the heads up. I'd appreciate if you keep it buried for as long as possible
01:00:22I
01:00:32Want to stay right here
01:00:41Where the hell are you Griff, this is Defcon one
01:00:46Hey, man, seriously, 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 for me we've known each other since college
01:01:04What are you talking about? Didn't you get any of my texts or calls? I
01:01:08Must have forgot to charge it. I
01:01:11Had quite a night last night
01:01:13Shelby and I made up she's forgiven me. Well, she won't forgive you for this
01:01:19You're a goddamn bigamist Griffin Roy
01:01:26Michelle Lane, I don't even know that is well, you knew her well enough to marry her three years ago
01:01:35This can't be right I got it from a parish clerk she's agreed to keep it hush-hush for now
01:01:40The ceremony was conducted at a church the priest signed and completed the marriage certificate
01:01:46Father Timothy O'Shea
01:01:51I now pronounce he man and wife
01:01:55The Mass girl from Mardi Gras I
01:01:58finally know her name
01:02:00Michelle
01:02:01shit
01:02:03Finally makes sense. Of course, you wouldn't knowingly become a bigamist
01:02:08Shelby
01:02:09fuck
01:02:11What am I gonna tell her look it could still be one big mistake I need to talk to that priest
01:02:23I have something for you. I
01:02:33Hacked into the parish database Griffin Roy is legally married to both Michelle Lane and Shelby Trudeau
01:02:40That's it he's finished
01:02:43Griffin Roy will be in jail for bigamy for cocktail hour
01:02:48Michelle Lane is Shelby Trudeau. They're legally married to each other on two separate occasions. They just don't know it yet
01:02:56That's insane check the date they got married the first time during Mardi Gras
01:03:02Roy was obviously publicly intoxicated. We could use that ain't yeah, the romance is already trending
01:03:09He made an idiot of himself with that boombox and voters. Oh
01:03:13Just eating it up
01:03:16He's catching up in the polls
01:03:18Now Roy unknowingly marries twice the girl he's been searching for since Mardi Gras
01:03:25This will make them seem like some faded love story
01:03:31This will make them seem like some faded 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 and right now to Griffin Roy Michelle Lane could be anybody
01:03:52You would have given Machiavelli a run for his money my dear who
01:04:00Well, we have a very limited window to make this work we will hit hard
01:04:10What is she gonna say when I tell her I'm married
01:04:16All right, ladies good job, that's it for tonight remember this weekend's Mardi Gras
01:04:22Have fun, but you know what to do if anybody messes with you
01:04:25Nice work
01:04:27Hi
01:04:39You're everything I've ever wanted everything I didn't even dare to dream you're it for me I can't lose you
01:04:47Griffin are you okay?
01:04:50Yeah, just some stuff for the campaign I
01:04:56Want to help the Roche can't win he and Isabel are evil you're the kind of man that people need I
01:05:03Can't imagine anyone else but myself. I'll come by the campaign office tomorrow
01:05:08We will plan a siege it's around
01:05:13It sounds amazing show
01:05:22Father I
01:05:26Remember the two of you
01:05:28You have it lad that special spark. I
01:05:32Don't see it often in couples, but when I do it makes an impression
01:05:35You must be mistaken this woman, and I we'd met that day
01:05:39And you were already finishing each other's sentences dying to tie the knot there was no stopping yet. I was drunk
01:05:45drunk with love
01:05:47The man I married knew what he was doing. I mean how is this even legal?
01:05:51New Orleans has a 24-hour waiting period unless the judge waves it son of a bitch
01:05:56Who was it? It was your best man?
01:05:59You called him Remy Remy kill
01:06:02Remy kill that bastard
01:06:06No wonder he always had that stupid smirk on his face whenever I stood before him in court
01:06:11fuck
01:06:13Fuck I
01:06:17Don't care. I don't care. We need to know the marriage now. I love my wife
01:06:22You're in a bit of a pickle because in my book
01:06:26You love Joe the wife as well
01:06:32Sir mrs. Arise in your office with Mr.. Durand Shelby
01:06:41Griffin this is the woman you've been looking for this is Michelle Lane
01:06:47Hi, Griffin, you might not remember me, but we got married three years ago
01:06:51So
01:06:58You've been an escort for seven years
01:07:00That's right since high school, and that really is your toddler my baby girl Fleur. She has no daddy. This will be good for her
01:07:12If I may ask how will she pass the DNA test that is the least of your worries all right chop-chop
01:07:22You
01:07:25Now action
01:07:28Hi Griffin
01:07:30You might not remember me, but we got married three years ago
01:07:34It was Mardi Gras we 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
01:07:44Fleur was the happy accident nine months later
01:07:48It can't be true
01:07:50I've never met you in my life. I mean you were wearing masks. Yes. That's right. We were
01:07:55By the time I found that I was pregnant two months had passed
01:07:58I've been trying to find you ever since but it wasn't until I saw one of your ads for Congress that I recognized your voice
01:08:04It was a miracle
01:08:06It's too much. She's losing him
01:08:09Tone it down tone it down
01:08:14Listen to me
01:08:17Listen lady, I don't know who you're trying to con with this act Griffin 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 which is it you are my wife only you I
01:08:43I
01:08:44Understand this is a lot to take in
01:08:46Fleur and I will just go I'll have my lawyer reach out. No, no lawyers. We don't need to involve any authorities
01:08:54This can all be solved with a simple DNA test Pierce
01:08:59This woman is a fraud Griffin. Think about it
01:09:02She says Fleur is your daughter one little test and that'll prove if she's lying or not. We need to know Griffin. I
01:09:09need to know
01:09:12Fine, but I don't want these doubts to fester. We can rush the DNA results and get him back in a few hours
01:09:18might I suggest a more private setting a
01:09:21Size understood we can wait back at my house for the results come
01:09:33We've got him you're up
01:09:42Oh
01:10:06You could
01:10:07don't
01:10:09Just don't
01:10:11Shelby go upstairs. She fed them snacks and then locked herself in the guest room. I
01:10:19Can't lose her Pierce I
01:10:23Won't
01:10:33Moment of truth, buddy
01:10:42I
01:10:57Will of course provide for you both financially Fleur doesn't need a checkbook. She needs a father
01:11:11I
01:11:22What do you want the guest bedroom is empty you and Fleur can stay there
01:11:31Joe
01:11:32just
01:11:34Don't do this
01:11:35Just give me some time. I can fix it
01:11:39This isn't something you fix you 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
01:11:56Daughter now, you're a father and you have to put your child first. I
01:12:02Can't be Marco, I won't do that to another little girl
01:12:05I
01:12:07Have spent my whole life looking for you
01:12:13How can I let you go
01:12:18Sometimes love isn't enough
01:12:24How'd you know she'll be believing because the kid Shelby's dedicated her life to saving people it's not her nature to put herself first. Oh
01:12:33You're a scary woman
01:12:35I know
01:12:50So this is what it feels like to have your heart shattered
01:13:05I
01:13:36I
01:13:45That's strange I thought I heard something
01:14:06You
01:14:18It's like she was never here
01:14:33Hey, mister
01:14:35Will you marry me?
01:14:38She took everything but left this behind
01:14:42message received Shelby
01:14:54What the hell is this I
01:14:57Know this sounds crazy and there's no time to explain
01:15:00But if you help me, I promise a generous reward once I get my inheritance. This place is insane
01:15:06The owner must really trust you
01:15:12Could it be
01:15:24It's her it's always been her
01:15:30Yeah
01:15:32Yeah, it went better than I expected as soon as he saw the forged DNA test. It was a done deal
01:15:37Who is she working for? How long am I supposed to stay here while you take care of Shelby? Give me a name
01:15:42Come on, just one name
01:15:44Mrs. LaRoche, that's cutting it close. I want to be long gone when he finds out she's dead
01:15:51Where is Shelby, where's my wife?
01:15:55Where is this about? I don't know what you're talking about
01:15:57I will have you put away for the rest of your life and your daughter will go up in a fucking orphanage. I
01:16:04Don't know where she is. If I knew I'd tell you I swear
01:16:20What is wrong with me
01:16:23Oh
01:16:27Somebody help
01:16:30Do you need some water? Oh wait, I see you've already had some
01:16:35You poisoned me
01:16:37Why?
01:16:39Why?
01:16:40Why?
01:16:42Where to begin?
01:16:45Lingering high school issues offs. I'm helping Neville's campaign, duh
01:16:51But the real reason the one that cuts deep is to make Griffin Roy think he's a bigamist
01:16:58By the time he figures out he married the same woman twice. He'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 not
01:17:23back up
01:17:26Married twice
01:17:29Who's the
01:17:31The woman in the little girl Oh
01:17:34Just some cheap whore. I hired to tell your husband that they've been married for the past three years
01:17:39when really
01:17:41It's been you all along
01:17:44You've been searching for each other all this time
01:17:47But 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
01:18:07Why are you here? My daughter my my baby CC. I'm scared. She's gonna do something terrible
01:18:14What do you mean terrible what's going on I sold
01:18:18Everything to get her out on bail and you know, what does she do in return? She's she's gone crazy
01:18:25Stoking Shelby. She tailed her to some
01:18:30hotel in the French Quarter
01:18:32What hotel?
01:18:35Excuse me, sir. My sister's staying here, but I've forgotten her room number. It's Shelby Trudeau. Sorry, ma'am
01:18:41We can't disclose any guest information
01:18:44You
01:18:51Shelby come out come out wherever you are
01:19:06Think I'll do with my bare hands
01:19:08Make some more personal
01:19:11Actually do me a favor leave a lot of marks on that face of hers
01:19:17Fuck you. I want people to see that she suffered a lot. Oh, trust me
01:19:23She will
01:19:25Come 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
01:19:52Him can't go to the valet smelling like a dive bar. I'll never give you your car keys
01:19:58Shelby has clothes over there
01:20:00James
01:20:02I'll take care of me you go take care of her
01:20:11Now the Griffin Shelby Trudeau changed her name to Michelle Blaine it 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
01:20:25Starting to make sense now
01:20:27It was harder on my mom
01:20:29She didn't want anything to do with him. So I cut him off to
01:20:32Even started using my mom's maiden name
01:20:35She's the one you've been looking for. It's been her all this time. How could it be so blind?
01:20:41Of course had to be Shelby had to be her
01:20:44My heart knew what my brain couldn't see I got it your girls in room 801
01:20:52Thanks, man now I can go save the love of my life
01:21:02Too much to drink
01:21:11Stop right there
01:21:17Not so fast
01:21:21Griffin fucking Roy
01:21:23Finally joined the party. I'm here for my wife
01:21:27Not gonna happen, but ah what you've done here is aggravated assault. But if you leave this hotel with her, it's kidnapping
01:21:35That is a federal crime. Don't bring in the FBI
01:21:39Hmm someone will have to be around to identify us that sure as hell won't be you
01:21:46Did you get all that Pierce police are on their way hang in there buddy
01:21:52You're not getting out of here alive Roy
01:22:08Oh
01:22:31Show me you're right
01:22:38Oh
01:22:40Yeah
01:23:07Griff my god, do you need medical attention?
01:23:10No, but they do
01:23:17I
01:23:21Guess I renewed my man card sure did honey fucked him up real good. Oh
01:23:29Lord please tell me there's something other than fatigues and combat boots in this thing
01:23:41Oh
01:23:42Shelby you little bitch did not say I'd come back here and set the score
01:23:48What?
01:23:50That's not Shelby
01:23:54Put your hands up where I can see him
01:24:02I want to make a deal. What do you have to offer up congressman? Neville LaRoche? I'm all ears
01:24:11Oh
01:24:15Is it really over yeah it is
01:24:20Griffin Isabel said something and I want to believe it but three years ago. Did we
01:24:29You left us
01:24:38It's true
01:24:41Can't believe I finally found you I looked for you in the face of every woman I ever met
01:24:48Why'd you never come back
01:24:51You
01:25:06It's called a walk of shame not a life of it
01:25:10Mind your own business CC. Look at you Shelby one 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 gonna want you with it all
01:25:25Look you both have a great memory now, but 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 I
01:25:39I
01:25:43Waited in that hotel for two days
01:25:46I'm sorry. I'll let her get to me
01:25:49But to be honest what we had seemed too good to be true
01:25:52How often the people fall in love with someone without ever seeing their face?
01:25:57Exactly
01:26:01But I did
01:26:03That do
01:26:04Where do we go from here?
01:26:06Married twice deeply in love risked our lives to save each other. I'd say we live happily ever after
01:26:17Shelby will you yes, Griffin Roy
01:26:24I will always love you in this life for the next
01:26:33Every part of me
01:26:37You
01:26:40Stay in your lane do what you're told and get paid. That's it
01:26:44I told you I'm not doing the clinical trial and we don't have that kind of money
01:26:49fake
01:26:51Relationship you're firing me until you get married to produce an heir you are relieved of your CEO duties
01:26:58So phase one introduce me to your grandfather as your girlfriend. You're gonna really need to buy it
01:27:04Nathan
01:27:05If his grandpa sees through a little act I can kiss the money. Goodbye
01:27:15Do you think your grandpa bought the fake proposal
01:27:19We're pretty convincing I'm doing this for my sister, but gosh, it's so hot
01:27:27There's a lot of stuff that needs to happen before we get to the the baby
01:27:31I'm starting to want this to be real. So I can it be real
01:27:43I
01:27:45Need this girl to be classy. Most importantly she needs to be educated
01:27:49She needs to be able to hold a conversation and not embarrass herself in front of a crowd
01:27:54Do you have a girl like that for me? Mr. Reid? I can find you any girl you need
01:28:00For the right price
01:28:03Of course how much
01:28:07So, let me get this straight
01:28:09You need a girl who can fake marry you for one year
01:28:12Move into your mansion and play wife and on top of all that give you a baby, correct? No love no sex
01:28:19No, sir
