Filthy Rich (2020) s01e02 Episode Script
John 3:3
1
Dear lord, I need
to unburden myself.
With eugene gone, margaret
seems to think she's god--
I mean you.
(scoffs)
she even stepped over eric
and made herself ceo.
Doesn't dad get a say
in any of this,
or have you already
forgotten him?
Becky: Given the news,
eugene was a great
but complicated man.
Not only did he go down
with two whores;
he fathered three bastards.
-With three different women.
-No.
Becky: There's the criminal,
jason, who grows pot
and doesn't seem to look
any bit like eugene.
Something about him
just creeps me out.
There's the hooligan, antonio,
who has a devil spawn
named jesus.
The blasphemy.
And then the whore,
ginger sweet.
Really, though,
she is a whore.
Literally, like,
the online kind.
So you subscribe
to our premium package?
Becky: Margaret and her
interloper lawyer, franklin,
offered the bastards
hush money,
but they won't take it.
You're valued
at $2.2 billion.
You flew us coach?
Becky: And this is all
right after
the sunshine network
announced
that we're launching
sunnyclub.
It's like this big
online shopping thing
that makes us all filthy rich,
and I know that's how
you show your blessings,
so we deserve it.
And those bastards
are subverting
your holy lucrative will.
And the worst part?
Margaret aired
all of our dirty laundry
and claims eugene's bastards
as her own.
So now everyone knows
our family is full of sinners.
And ginger's slutty mother
showed up too,
but really, who cares?
One man dies,
and the entire monreaux family
has gone to hell.
In jesus' name
Amen.
Margaret: Favor is deceitful,
beauty is vain,
but a woman
who feareth the lord,
she shall be praised.
(whispering)
she shall be praised.
Proverbs: 31.
Male announcer:
Your free gift when you sign up
to become
a sunnyclub member today.
Oh.
Norah: Hmm.
No perfume can mask the stench
of that press conference.
That press conference
was a wonderful moment of unity
for family--
norah: For crap headlines.
(sighs)
nobody reads print, norah.
I could've told you outing
a bunch of bastards
was a bad idea.
They're not just bastards,
norah.
They're people too.
Every news channel,
every christian blogger,
even the crescent city
coupon catalog is writing about
the complete destruction
of the monreaux family.
Margaret: Come on, how bad
could the damage really be?
New subscriptions
for sunnyclub have plateaued.
-Hmm.
-Plateaued, my ass.
We are holding
at six million subscriptions.
We need eight
by the end of the week,
or you'll
lose vendors.
People of faith
are not that fickle.
That's the beauty of faith.
-Fix this.
-I will.
Norah: Better fix it.
Thomas: In the name
of the father
and the son
and the holy spirit,
I baptize you.
(cheers and applause)
hear that?
The reverend
hasn't lost his flock,
and neither have I.
You set that meeting
with the children?
Yes.
Keeping them on brand
is a good place to start.
(dramatic music)
becky: Look at her.
She thinks she's god.
♪
eric: Why is ginger here?
Eric,
your mama's a tricky bitch.
Mama said she wanted
to talk about my future, right?
That woman has nothing
to do with my future.
If margaret
is a woman of her word,
there will be a $30 million
check inside.
Whatever it is, take it.
We need it.
The numbers at sinwagon
have tanked since you left.
-I have faith.
-In margaret?
Myself.
This was supposed
to be the first grandchild,
not that thing.
That baby--
it's a little demon
sent here
to shatter our world.
You're my brother now,
so I just want to say
that I look forward
to getting to know you.
Both of you.
-Great.
-Yeah.
And maybe, uh,
when you have your kid,
we can share a babysitter
and stuff.
(scoffs)
other than the occasional
requisite on-camera moment,
I'm not gonna be, like,
working or anything.
Oh, great.
So you can watch
both the kids.
That was a--
that was a joke.
Hmm.
Ha-ha.
I'll see you both inside.
♪
ms. Sweet?
My name's luke taylor,
formerly of the daily edge.
I would love
to ask you some questions.
Everyone's chasing this story
about eugene's kids,
but no one's talking
about the mothers.
You need to leave.
The women eugene hurt.
I'm not an angle.
She's not an angle.
She's treating us like
we're equal or something.
Equality is unfair.
Yeah, we're not doing this.

becky: Look at that one.
She's gonna get melanoma.

hi, I'm rose.
I'm your, uh,
daughter's sister.
-Mm.
-Don't do that.
Rose is cool.
No, it's fine, really.
We're all family now.
Hey, where's jason?
He's in colorado.

I don't know.
I mean, that's where he is.
Yeah.

I want to thank you all
for joining me
in what I'm reframing
as a blending journey.
It is my god-given duty
to bring us all together.
Where is my check?
Franklin: Hold tight, now.
All of you
will be getting checks.
That's great.
For $10,000.
A week.
(snorts) jeez.
Me too?
But what happened
to the millions?
You all gonna have
to work for it.
Antonio, you will give up
this mmma thing.
Mma?
Margaret:
You are jesus' only parent,
and if you get hurt,
who will he have?
Besides, I would very much
like for you
to join my security team.
She just put you on staff,
bro.
Franklin: It is
an entry-level position
that you can build on.
Jason, wherever he is,
he will close
that ganja factory.
And, ginger
Here it comes.
You and your mother,
you will leave new orleans,
you will close
that porn site of yours,
and you will never, ever
speak to any member
of the press ever again.
I'm supposed to just go away?
Uh-huh.
And I'm sorry,
this is the same allowance
that I've gotten
since I was 16.
You've been getting
$10,000 a week
since you were 16?
Rose, you will go to colorado
and you will present the terms
to jason in person.
-No.
-You are my best ambassadress.
-I'm apolitical.
-Ginger: Okay.
So 5% of the company
is off the table.
What about the 1% eugene's will
promised all of us?
You get that 1%
when margaret is--
-dead.
-Don't tempt me.
I'm not gonna just disappear
and wait for you to be dead
in the ground to cash in.
You did me a favor, margaret.
After that press conference,
sinwagon is netting
$10,000 a week, maybe more.
So thank you
for the notoriety.
Ginger, I'm asking you
to rise to the occasion
of your birthright.
Tina: Ginger,
it's time to go.

dear lord,
where do we go when we die?
Do we become spirit

Barely.

Becky: If flesh

can spirit become flesh?
In jesus' name we pray, amen.
I told you
to stay in the car.
Thomas: You remind me
of someone,
miss ginger.
Mary magdalene,
prostitute cleansed
of her sins by christ
and anointed as one
of the true faith.
One, I don't need
to be cleansed of anything.
Two, those macho asshats
who decided
what went in the bible
made up
the whole magdalene whore thing
to minimize the deep
personal relationship
she had with jesus
as well as her position of power
in the early church.
(soft music)
margaret: Honestly, rose,
the lip on you back there?
That ginger,
she's a bad influence.
I'm sorry I got defensive.
I just--I keep thinking
about what daddy would do.
Margaret: Slight break
in the hem, please.
Just slight.
But if daddy were here,
everything would be
secretly worse.
Jesus is gonna puke
all over this.
Margaret: (chuckles)
oh, sweetie.
You're getting
more than one.
Sorry, I'm just so mad
and sad at the same time.
We are the monreaux girls.
We can be mad, sad,
walk, talk, chew gum,

franklin: Awful what they did
to you out there.
They don't need our ire.
They need our empathy.
Tina is every woman
eugene ever broke.
Jason's mother, antonio's,
those poor girls that eugene
snuck on our plane,
and god knows who else?
I've reached a settlement
with the families
of those young women
and the pilot's family.
When did everyone in our world
become a transaction?
A long time ago.
You just didn't know about it.
Now, we need to do something
about sunnyclub.
Fans just aren't buying in at
the rate that we need them to.
I'm gonna remind them
who I was before all this
(sniffles)
and who I still am.
Like many of you,
I grew up poor.
(uplifting music)
my mama, she did her best,
but it was tough
Living in a car.
And when we weren't relying
on strangers' pity,
we were victims of it.
And then one day,
we drifted into a church
in new iberia.
Oh, we were so hungry
and without hope,
but when that sermon was over,
we came outside,
and that old car?
(breathes deeply)
it was full of groceries.

No.

Nope.
