Filthy Rich (2020) s01e03 Episode Script

1
Dear lord,
we could really use
your divine intervention,
again.
Margaret's little
press conference
backfired like
a raggedy old car,
so sunnyclub vendors
threatened to pull out.
Margaret called a family
meeting to keep all the kids,
bastards included,
on brand,
which apparently means bribing
everyone into subservience.
She just put you
on staff, bro.
Becky: Antonio took the deal,
of course.
Nice suit.
Becky: He must really need
the money.
Rose went to fetch jason
from whatever drug den
he was hiding in.
He better be careful
with that stuff,
or he'll wind up in a coma.
-Jason: Don't worry.
-Whoa, what--(screams)
you're not gonna wake him up.
Becky: And ginger,
greedy tramp that she is,
refused margaret's offer
'cause I'm that bitch.
Becky: And moved
all of her cyber bimbos
into a ratty-ass motel.
So of course margaret went
to the only person
who could fix this,
my darling brother,
who offered to baptize ginger
in exchange
for putting eric
in charge of the missions.
It's a big job,
which explains why
he's on his laptop all the
time.
But ginger turned
what was supposed
to be a holy sacrament
into a wet, dripping billboard
for her porn site.
I saw her areolas.
Cut the feed!
Becky: I can't imagine
what eugene would say
if he saw all this.
Still, the controversy got us
the subscriptions we needed.
Margaret got super jelly
of my brother's ratings
and decided to book ginger
on her show.
Be good for everyone.
Becky: And that'll be
a travesty in the making.
Just watch.
Lilith, salome, jezebel.
Scripture tells us
of the fallen women
who danced with the serpent
in the shadow of sin,
and yet the hand of god
was always there reaching out,
calling, "come to me,
my daughter.
Repent."
last week, we met
another fallen woman,
ms. Ginger sweet,
and just as god offered
salvation to the ancients,
he reached out to ms. Sweet
through me, his humble vessel,
and together
we offered her salvation,
but she made a mockery
of the sacrament!
Singers:
fighter ♪
norah:
Five minutes, margaret.
Franklin:
Bringing ginger on the show
is gonna hurt the brand.
People are really
riled up out there.
Wings of a dove
isn't about controversy.
We can fight controversy,
franklin, or we can embrace it.
Jesus teaches us that we must
choose the embrace.
Franklin: Jesus?
So this has nothing to do
with boosting
sunnyclub's subscriptions?
Ginger's little stunt put some
serious numbers on our board.
Your brand
is hospitality, grace.
I don't want you
to take the show
to a place
you can't pull it back from.
The reverend did it.
Well, the reverend is tacky.
Now, you have been under
a lot of pressure lately.
If you can't have grace
under pressure,
what good is it?
I can handle ginger sweet.
After all, I have my army.
♪
children!
Singers:
fighter ♪
I am a fighter
and I ♪
you filthy, diseased whore!
You kiss your mother
with that mouth?
Coming through!
I'm betty, your pa for the day.
Don't judge all of us
by that guy, okay?
Margaret's fans are like
a big, old family,
and every family has their
crazy pants sheep, am I right?
Okay?
All right, come on,
let's get her in.
Thomas: There's another way
to reach ms. Sweet,
through a mother who follows
in the biblical path
set by rebecca, naomi,
and our blessed mary,
someone who will fight
for what is right,
someone like margaret monreaux!
Margaret:
Welcome home, jason.
Did you close
that ganja factory of yours?
-Yes, ma'am.
-Good.
You'll join rose
for the mail bag.
-Jason: What's the mail bag?
-Rose: Mom selects
a handful of viewer letters
to read on air.
I've been doing it
since I was seven.
Jason: I know you wanted
all of your kids
on your tv show today,
but I--that's not
really my jam.
Who doesn't want to be
on camera?
Uh, me.
I don't want to be.
Jason, today we are
reintroducing our family
to the world,
properly and on our terms.
Antonio, I just love
the cooking segment
that you pitched me.
Thanks, margaret.
Antonio and I--
we're gonna blend our cultures.
He's gonna make pasteles,
and I'm gonna add
some nola flair.
We're gonna show ginger
and our fans
that blending our differences
can be delicious.
You two, you take note.
This is what a team player
looks like.
Why doesn't eric
have to do it?
Honey, eric is stepping in
for your father today
at the missions.
You're trusting eric
with daddy's projects?
-Mm-hmm.
-That must mean a lot to him.
Rose, will you do the mail bag
in memory of your daddy?
Okay, mama.
Okay.
Thomas:
Jesus makes us strong!
Just please leave
jason out of it.
I promise.
I promise.
Oh, she's here.
Thomas: Let's help margaret
win this fight!
Thomas: It's a tale as old
as time itself,
a fallen woman faced
with two choices,
salvation or damnation,
with a mother desperate
to convince her
to choose correctly.
-Margaret.
-Ginger.
Thomas: Up next
on wings of a dove
Norah: Going live
in three, two
Live from sunshine studios
in beautiful new orleans,
this is wings of a dove!
(upbeat music)
god, give me strength.
Norah: Here she is, your host,
your friend,
margaret monreaux.
Dear lord, I'm just a soul
whose intentions are good,
but I'm alone out here,
traveling down
a lonesome road.
I fear that
I've been cast out.
This is a test
of my perseverance.
♪
margaret:
I've been reflecting lately
on the meaning of homecoming.
You know that feeling
when you go away for a while
and you come back
and find a deeper appreciation
for what you have?
Welcome to the dewdrop buybox,
double-d, double-b.
I'll be there soon.
After taxes, eight hours
of minimum wage
will get you half a bus ticket.
Margaret: As you all know,
the good lord--
he recently expanded
my family circle.
Let me introduce them.
This is my antonio.
Oh, looking after his son,
single father,
despite never knowing his own.
And now sweet jason.
Oh, that's not jason.
That's colorado.
Don't we have
a picture of jason?
She's pissed I backed out.
She takes her show
really seriously.
It's like her church.
He was gonna read
the viewer mail with rose,
but he got a little case
of stage fright.
Happens to us all.
Not me.
If I go on tv,
folks back home might see
and know it's me, you know?
Yeah, I--I know.
(laughs)
margaret: Shame is
just the good lord's way
of reminding us that someone
is always watching--always.
After all
(continues indistinctly)
this is not cool.
That's, like, way not cool.
Margaret:
Or two, or three.
Which brings me
to ginger sweet.
(cheers and applause)
a woman you've already seen
a little too much of.
(crowd booing)
they're booing her.
I know, I know, I know,
but it goes without saying,
ginger, she needs saving.
-(cheering)
-but here at wings of a dove,
we're about hospitality,
and ginger, she's our guest.
Hey, ginger.
Have you got any advice
for me?
Oh, just to be careful.
Mama has this way of turning
everything to her advantage.
Plus, she has the audience
on her side.
I have an audience too,
and it's growing every day
thanks to the sunshine network.
Every time she and the rev
say my name,
my profits go up tenfold.
It's easy to talk big
when you're in the wings,
but wait until
you're out there.
The first time
I was on the show,
I was maybe, like, five,
and I reached for a cookie
before she cued me,
and she slapped my hand
so hard, it stung for a week.
-Margaret's a bully.
-The show has just begun.
It's about time
someone slapped her back.
Welcome back, everyone!
As you all know,
in just under
four short months,
we're launching sunnyclub,
our online shopping division,
and if you become
a subscriber today,
you will get your free bottle
of my signature scent,
proverbs 31.
Friends, look under your seats.
It's made right here
in louisiana.
You get a proverb.
You all get a proverb.
It's the smell of god's
perfect christian woman.
Who are the mafioso?
Mafioso?
Oh, those are my uncles.
Uh, by uncles I mean
those are my dad's old friends,
so they're not family,
but, you know, they're family.
That guy's don bouchard.
Rose: Mm-hmm.
Mom will never believe this.
Gentlemen, governor.
Franklin.
To what do we owe
the pleasure?
I thought our shareholders
might enjoy the big show.
Well, nice of you to make
the special effort
when you could
just watch us on tv.
Well, as much as our friends
are impressed
by the rise in subscriptions
thanks to ginger's appearance
on my show,
they are concerned
by the change in leadership.
They've come
to offer their help.
In what way?
They're prepared to assume
a significant stake
in sunnyclub.
Silent partners, of course.
We are fully funded,
though we certainly
appreciate you.
Mr. Bouchard, antonio rivera.
You made the mma world
what it is,
and without you,
I wouldn't be who I am.
I'd love to show you
what I can do someday.
Yopi candelaria's boy.
Mm.
You--you knew my mom?
Everyone knew yopi.
(group chuckles)
reverend, maybe you could take
these fine gentlemen
to their seat.
Certainly.

yo, that guy is everything

Margaret:
God's great creation.
(cheers and applause)
my friends, in just a minute,
we'll go live
with eric at the bayou housing,
but first let's hear it
for the royal boys choir.
(cheers and applause)
boys: just a young boy ♪
living in the city
with his mama ♪
why are our investors here?
It seems your naming yourself
ceo has rattled them.
Our silent partners
aren't staying silent.
My guess is, the reverend
brought them here to show
that you're not up to the job.
Or someone else is.
Boys: told him they will take
real good care of him ♪
told him that ♪
-you healed all these people?
-Thomas: I didn't.
God did.
How did you get backstage?
I'm a friend of franklin lee.
So the pilot
of eugene monreaux's
private plane's on here.
Ten years ago, we laid
our hands on him,
and lord took his cancer away.
You know, I saw you
usher in governor love
and a bunch of fat cats.
What's your relation to them?
I'm their spiritual advisor.
Men that powerful take advice?
You'd be surprised.
The higher they climb,
the more they want to
be humbled.
Off the record, of course.
Eugene monreaux was keeping
a lot of secrets.
If those secrets came out
before the launch
of sunnyclub,
his investors would be nervous.
His secrets still came out.
Eric: Testing, testing,
one, two, three,
one, two, three,
one, two--good?
My dad brought me here
when I was little.
It was nothing
but barren land and hope.
My dad brought god
to the bayou.
It's amazing.
Look what he built.
Yeah, he was
a very great man, eric,
but couldn't we have done
this segment in the studio,
where it's air conditioned?
You okay?
You look tired.
Margaret gave the prime spot
to that sacrilegious slut
ginger.
-Come on.
-She's doing a segment
about family,
and I'm the only one
in the family way.
Producer: All right, guys,
we're cutting back to you
You good?
And now, let's see
your mission money at work.
Take it away, eric!
-Hey, mama.
-Hi, sweetie.
-Becky and I are out here--
-on a very warm,
very sunny new orleans
afternoon.
-Mm-hmm.
-Eric: Yeah, it's a--
it's a scorcher, mama,
but there's no place
that we'd rather be,
because we are breaking ground
on a brand-new
community center.
You know, it's very humbling,
'cause what was it,
20 years ago?
In the wake
of hurricane thelma, dad--
he had a vision of rebirth.
Fake-ass turkey.
(children laugh)
(hushed) dig.
Eric, dig.
-Becky: All right.
-Eric: Hold that for me.
-Thank you.
-Eric: Back to you, mama.
(somber music)
margaret has put eric
in charge
of the charity missions.
How could she be so naive?
More like how could you
keep her that way?
It's not charitable
to lie to people.

margaret:
Welcome back, everyone.
I just love a handwritten
letter, don't you?
It takes longer,
but it means so much more.
I so enjoy
our mother-daughter time,
getting to read letters
that our viewers
have written longhand.
Well, reach on in there,
rose, and pull out a goodie.
Rose: "dear margaret,
what you're doing by offering
"ginger sweet salvation

Love you,
vicki from san luis obispo."
oh, I am truly touched

Sincerely, mark from colorado."
margaret:
Oh, well, isn't that sweet?
Audience: Aww.
She's glowing.
-She's in love.
-How do you know?
-A mother knows.
-Margaret: If his penmanship
is anything to go off of,
you got a real catch.
I think we have time
for one more.
Rose, what is it?
I'm not reading this.
You do it.

"dear margaret,
ginger sweet will burn in hell.
The wages of sin areDeath."
well, that's a bit much.
Ginger sweet's

Please,
let's just all stay calm.
Ginger sweet, she's aroused
some strong feelings,

Isn't that right, sweetie?
Now we're gonna
take a little break

dressed like that.
Antonio: Well, I want
to share something
I love more than food.
Oh, haven't we had
enough fighting for one day?
See, martial arts
isn't really about the fight.
It's about defusing situations

Well, I think that's
a useful lesson any day.
You want to show me?

And you and the reverend have
certainly fanned the flames.
I'm not a firefighter.
I'm just a concerned mother,

a teachable moment

that there are very good people
on both sides

I don't think
you're a bad person.

-But what you did--
well, that hurt me.
That hurt a lot of people.
You turned
our holiest sacrament
into a wet t-shirt contest,

do you think
that the 2.5 billion people
who believe in christ are dumb?
-No, I don't.
-Oh.
I believe in christ,
but is there no room
in this dialogue for contrary,
provocative thought?
Oh, is that
what you were doing,
provoking an intellectually
stimulating dialogue?
Well, that's why you
invited me here, isn't it?
For a teachable moment.
I am just trying to help you
understand your actions--
they have consequences.
Oh.
So the stalkers,
the hate mail,
the spitting--I asked for it?
(laughs)
really shoring up
those feminist bona fides
there, margaret.
Is it feminist to sell
your body on the internet?
Yes.
My body belongs to me.
I say what happens to it.
I say what I do with it.
So every prostitute
is a feminist? Hmm.
I didn't say that,
and please don't infer
that I am a prostitute,
not that there is
anything wrong with that.
There have been
sacred prostitutes
since the beginning of time;
ishtar, aphrodite.
People understood that bodies
were to be celebrated.
Psalm 25:3,
"no one who hopes in you
"will ever be put to shame,
but shame will come on those
who are treacherous
without cause."
the "you" in that scripture
is god, not ginger sweet.
Well, what's the difference
if we both bring people
to ecstasy?
(audience exclaims)
oh, you're really
playing with fire.
Oh, I haven't even lit
the match.
(disquieting music)
men come to us desperate
for connection,
and we honor their trust.
We provide what they're clearly
not getting at home.
Well, providing for a man--
that's a lot more than just
stripping off your clothes.
Isn't that right, ladies?
(cheers and applause)
well, if you had provided
for eugene,
he wouldn't have had
to step out
with my mother in las vegas.
(dramatic music)
hi, mom, if you're watching.
And don't fool yourself,
margaret.
It wasn't just sex.
Eugene loved her.
He came to her for salvation,
and she gave him
what you couldn't.
♪
well, do you have
anything to say?
♪
do I have anything to say?
For years, I kept my mouth shut
as eugene cheated on me
with one woman after another.
I knew, and I stayed silent
to protect my family,
but how dare you compare
adultery to salvation?
Women like you--you're selfish.
You don't give a second thought
to who or what you destroy.
I built a life with eugene,
a business, a family,
and then some tawdry showgirl
sees what I've built
and comes for it?
Hmm, you can call that
providing if you want to,
but when that temporary thrill
of new and shiny wears off,
men like eugene--
they come home with their tail
between their legs,
and do you know why?
Because unlike you,
we protect them
from their worst natures.
We make them feel decent
and good, while you,
you plunge them
into guilt and shame.
After every affair,
eugene came home to me!
And I took him back
because I swore an oath
before god
until death do us part.
So if that means
being publicly humiliated
and having to give airtime to
some pornographic sass mouth,
well, so be it.
God tests women like me
with women like you,
and even if I want
to rake my nails
across that gorgeous
harlot face of yours,
well, I won't,
because eugene--he might have
taken everything away from me,
but I still have my dignity,
you cheap, trashy,
sanctimonious little slut!

Oh, no, no, we need to get

I watched your show
every day growing up!
I learned how to cook from you,
how to read scripture!

(light music)
I feel terrible
for the public humiliation
that ginger was subjected to.
As a mother, I aspire daily
to guide and protect my family,
and I accomplished neither
of those goals today.
I know that you're angry
about what ginger said
about me and christianity,
and in turn,
I know ginger's angered
by the way
she and her mother
have been treated,
and so I ask the lord,
where do we go from here?
Do we continue
to threaten one another,
give up on one another?
No.
We christians--
like good carpenters,
we build a bridge
of forgiveness.
We don't mock.
We don't tempt.
We invest.
Now, here
at the sunshine network,
we invest in ourselves
and in the ginger sweets
of this world,
as others have invested in us,
good people
like governor virgil love,
don bouchard,
and townes dockerty.
Norah, can we swing a camera
on these fine people
in the front row?
Camera five,
swing to the front row.
-Take camera five.
-When eugene--
stop me
if you've heard this.
When eugene and I,
when we were at
a little public access channel
in natchitoches,
those three gentlemen
right there,
they--they saw
something special,
and they gave us our shot.
I know the fat one.
He like to wear heels.
We've gotta get
the hell out of town.
And ginger, we may not have
saved you today,
but we will continue to invest
because we believe
in redemption,
and if you want proof,
you gotta look no further
than your brother jason.
Jason, are you here?
Please stand up, honey.
Camera two, find jason.
Take camera two.
A few weeks ago,
jason--are you ready for this?
