Filthy Rich (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Hebrews 9:15 - full transcript

Dear lord, I've had
some epiphanies this mardi gras.

Everyone's a sinner.

Margaret and co freaked out
about a salacious tape

starring governor virgil love,

aka the politician
that graciously wanted

to poach my husband.

All: Love always wins.

Becky: Margaret was hungrier
than a jackal

to take the governor down,

but with franklin doing
whatever he does

on his one day off,



she's simply not as efficient.

I'm not giving you that tape.

But someone was.

Hagamond: You're gonna tell me

where you're hiding
the governor's little tape.

Becky: Rose is off
gallivanting with jason.

Suspect as usual.

Speaking of gallivanting,
eric is cheating on me.

- Heels stay on.
- (moans)

becky: And in an act
of rebellion,

I might have done something...

Never mind.
Not important.

Margaret got that porn tape,
thanks to franklin,

and the governor went down.



Who's running this holy war?

Becky: Along with
ginger's business.

You've ruined me.

Becky: Now how's eric
ever gonna advance?

Lord, it's crazy.

Eugene was always so poised
under pressure.

He knew exactly what to do
and how to do it.

From the way things are going,
there are more storms ahead.

Game on, creep.

Becky: And no amount
of proverbs 31 perfume

will get the "ew"
out of de toilette.

Every day's another chance
to believe in miracles, right?

In the name of jesus, amen.

margaret: Dear lord!

Where's all my perfume?

How are we supposed to keep
our promise to our subscribers

without any product?

A message from townes.

Don't do to me
what you did to virgil.

Virgil brought it on himself.

Our hands weren't exactly clean
in that.

I did what I did
to protect eric.

Franklin: Yeah, but you hurt
ginger in the process.

You shut her business.

Eventually, she will realize
it's in her best interest.

That doesn't look like
my proverbs 31.

More like townes 2020.

Oh!
That's disgusting!

Surely he can't own every
perfume factory in louisiana.

Well, he kinda does.

Franklin, why is everyone
so determined

to burn our company
to the ground?

We are in this together.
All of us.

You talking about
your children now or the 18:20?

You find us another factory.
Fast.

And in the meantime,
we're gonna find a new purpose

for our ginger.

(upbeat country music)

ginger: Look at you all.

Like an off-brand cast
of the wizard of oz.

Dorothy, the tin man,

the scarecrow,
the cowardly lion,

and toto too.

Because you ride around
in your mother's basket.

I deserve that.

These are all the women

that you collectively
put out of work.

Get off your high horse.

She shut down a porn site,
not a soup kitchen.

Ginger, we wanna make amends.

We wanna bring you into
the fold.

We believe
that you have great potential.

So instead of an apology,

you wanna make me your employee?

In addition to an apology.

I'm gonna have to decline
because unlike the rest of you,

I'm not gonna be
a part of the problem.

You are all responsible

for what happened
to me and my girls.

You think saintwagon is dirty?

Doesn't even come close

to how disgusting
all of you are.

But isn't this
what you've always wanted?

- Excuse me?
- Rose: Just to be a part of us.

I mean, you... you said so.

That dream is dead, rose.

Really?

(sighs)

how'd it go?

Just be glad
you weren't invited.

Are you okay though?

No.
Not at all.

But thank you
for sticking close.

That man who held me hostage,

he told me if that tape got out,

I'd have a bad day.

Man, I hate what he did to you.

And I'm not leaving your side.

Good.

his day is worse.

Hey, I've been looking all over

Hey.
I had a really rough morning.

Ginger said
some horrible things to me,

and, I mean, I don't know,
they're probably horrible

because they're true.

Am I a toto?

I don't know what that means,
but it sounds like

a terrible thing
to call somebody.

- Yeah.
- Jason's awake.

You jason or the other jason?

The other jason.

- The real jason.
- What?

- How?

The doctors say
it's some kind of miracle.

What are we gonna do?

- It's gonna be great.
- It's god's plan.

I heard your family got
a new plane.

- Mm-hmm.
- Do you wanna take it

to colorado
and meet your brother?

(heartfelt country music)

the good news is you're up
2 million subscribers.

- And the bad?
- Same as the good.

You're up 2 million,

but I have yet to find anyone
in the state of louisiana

that will lease us a factory.

(wheels squeaking)

what in the heavens' name
was that?

(mysterious country music)

townes, reverend.

To what do we owe this pleasure?

- Townes bought virgil's stock.
- Oh.

50¢ on the dollar,
thanks to you.

He feels he should have
more of a presence here.

And so do I.

Do you now?

What brought this guy down?

Ak-47.

Can't bring a slingshot
to a gunfight.

Do you hunt, franklin?

Well, the big game
we're currently chasing

is factories.

Margaret: Townes,
if you're here

to look out
for your own interests,

it's worth noting the losses
you may incur

if proverbs 31
does not roll out on time.

Agreed.

Let's get you a factory.

- Which one you want?
- Oh.

And going forward,

we ask you run all decisions
concerning the network past us.

My decomposing body?

The guy who attacked you
is guilty, undeniably.

But we agreed

we're chasing down
the bigger story, huh?

His handlers
are margaret's investors.

Margaret wouldn't stand
for that if she knew.

Yes, she would.
She's complicit.

How's that?

She's the head of
a global enterprise

that was built and maintained

by men who prey upon
vulnerable women.

And she took their money.
It's systemic.

I mean, they probably did
the same thing

to your mother, antonio.

Have you ever asked her that?

I don't like where you're going
with any of this.

So far, margaret has skated by
on plausible deniability.

Yes, thank you!

Luke: Franklin,
I'm writing an exposé

on margaret monreaux's
potential complicity

in a criminal syndicate.

I wondered
if she cared to comment.

Dear lord, keep me
on the righteous path

full of good works.

You said the way of works
is the way of life.

For he who does the will of god

abides forever.

Eugene knew his path.

Where most men saw sorrow,
eugene saw an opportunity

for the world
to be a better place.

Thank god for this site, man.

More work here
than any other spot

in southern louisiana.

Becky: And you rewarded
that goodness with wealth.

(mellow country music)

I know you.

You're the man
who used to come around.

Yeah, that was me, but, uh,
I'm not that man anymore.

Becky: Dear lord,
I fear my husband

does not have

Let me catch up.

Steve, the same.

Speaking of "at home," townes?

He has made himself
quite comfortable

at the sunshine network.

He-he likes to keep a close eye
on his possessions.

So you knew
he bought virgil's shares?

Where do you think
townes gets money like that?

Hm.

You know, when your husband
twists an arm,

you learn pretty quickly
that it's smarter to say yes.

(shady percussive music)

but do me a favor.

If you plan to do to townes
what you did to virgil,

I'd appreciate a heads-up.

What alternative did he give us?

Well, you could've spared
his family

what all of us spared you
when eugene was alive.

You see, that's our problem,
veronica.

We have kept silent.

We should be lifting
each other up.

Grand.

Now, your townes,

he has shut down
all of our louisiana factories.

For us to stay in business,

we need a ten-year lease
guarantee

on one of your family's
alabama factories.

Townes wouldn't like that.

We are both women of means.

And there is no reason

to live under the thumb or fist
of any man.

You know, I'm not comfortable

having this conversation,
margaret.

I've known you a long time.

You're not here to help me.

You just wanna keep business
rolling on

on your vanity project.

Sunnyclub is not
a vanity project.

(laughs)
it's a mission from god.

That's common knowledge.

Ginger's accusing these men
of abuse on your watch.

Ginger knows full well

Do you know why
they were forced into hiding?

Not until recently.

My whole life, mr. Taylor,
I have tried to aid

those less fortunate
than myself,

especially women,
and when I found out,

I made sure that tina was taken
to a safe place

where she could get help
and heal.

So you're a champion of women.

And ginger's lying
about systemic abuse

at the sunshine network.

if you're looking
for a systemic abuser,

you might cast your gaze
at mr. Townes dockerty.

Margaret, you've said enough.

No.

advantage for too long.

That part's not your fault.

But you just can't keep
expecting forgiveness.

The world has changed.

Women work together
or not at all.

I want a united front.

I want you to come back
to wings of a dove

and tell the world

that my hands are clean
of these crimes.

I say yes, on one condition.

You got it, honey.

$6 million.

The financial equivalent

of the 1% of the company
my father intended.

Not just for me.

For him,

for her,

and him.

And jason.

We all deserve the chance
to walk away,

to start over

with our hands clean.

You got me all wrong, you know.

Everything I have ever done
