Filthy Rich (2020) s01e06 Episode Script
Hebrews 9:15
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.
Love always wins.
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.
You're gonna tell me
where you're hiding
the governor's little tape.
Rose is off
gallivanting with Jason.
Suspect as usual.
Speaking of gallivanting,
Eric is cheating on me.
Heels stay on.
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?
Along with Ginger's business.
You've ruined me.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
- Just to be a part of us.
I mean, youyou said so.
That dream is dead, Rose.
Really?
Really.
Join your mama in Hell, Rose.
Someone please drop a house
on her.
She's spirited, honey.
And one day,
we will channel that spirit
over to the Lord.
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.
'Cause I'm gonna make sure
his day is worse.
Okay, chicas,
we're down but we're not out.
Now, poker
is a lot like life.
Now listen.
You're gonna keep your cards
close to your vest.
You're gonna be very,
very patient.
Never move this. All right?
When you know
you've got a winner,
you move all, all in.
Mamita.
Whoever he is,
he's not gonna call.
You don't know him like I do.
- He'll call eventually.
- Eventually.
Yeah, that's a losing
proposition.
Get your tushy over here.
Let me learn you something.
Come here.
Well, if it isn't the legendary
Don Bouchard.
Hola, Yopi.
Qué pasó?
You stop by to talk about
Antonio's championship fight?
You're smart enough to know
the fight's off.
So you drove all the way
over here to gloat?
I came here 'cause I know you,
and see,
you think you can pull
that same kind of crap on me
that you pulled on Virgil,
well, you got another thing
coming.
You and I know each other
really well.
The stories I could tell
about this boy.
You tell whoever you want to,
Yopi.
Who's gonna believe
an old wash-up like you?
What the hell was that?
That's what you call
"upping the ante."
Rose.
Hey, I've been looking all over
for you.
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?
- I don't know.
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.
Do you wanna take it
to Colorado
and meet your brother?
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.
What in the heavens' name
was that?
Townes, Reverend.
To what do we owe this pleasure?
Townes bought Virgil's stock.
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.
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?
And going forward,
we ask you run all decisions
concerning the network past us.
I'd feel more comfortable
running 'em past him.
Gentlemen.
If he hadn't married
into Veronica's money,
his office would be at the back
of a greasy spoon.
- Who you calling?
- Veronica.
Half his shares belong to her.
What more do you need
to run a real story?
My decomposing body?
The guy who attacked you
is guilty, undeniably.
But we agreed
we're chasing down
the bigger story?
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!
What's up?
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.
And you rewarded
that goodness with wealth.
I know you.
You're the man
who used to come around.
Yeah, that was me, but,
I'm not that man anymore.
Dear Lord, I fear my husband
does not have
that kind of greatness in him.
He is dedicated to good works,
but good works alone
don't make a man.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Golly.
Aren't you supposed to be
down at the missions with Eric?
Yeah, but it's Hell down there.
Delivering service to others
is not optional, Becky.
I need advice, brother.
I'm struggling in my marriage.
Eric's been taking on
a lot more work lately
now that Eugene's left us.
I feel trapped.
In myin my body,
in my circumstances, I
I feel like I've been fighting
for something
that I never really wanted.
Just quiet those thoughts
with thoughts of good fortune.
When you fell for Eric,
he fell for you,
that was God's voice
bringing you together
for a holy purpose.
It was a shotgun wedding, Paul.
The life inside you
is a miracle.
I know.
Go to the missions.
Keep your husband on track.
And remember,
it's God's plan
we must always surrender to.
I'm bringing my baby
into a loveless marriage.
God wants you to prosper.
If he didn't,
he wouldn't have gifted you
with the one true heir
to the Monreaux fortune.
If the Devil is whispering
in your ear,
you surrender to God's plan.
Veronica.
Honey, am I late?
No, I just love sitting here.
Feels more like home than home.
Now, you just slow down.
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?
You know, when your husband
twists an arm,
you learn pretty quickly
that it's smarter to say yes.
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.
It's a mission from God.
Yes.
Our Lord, He has
put me on a path
and that is why
I am sitting next to you today.
This is a conversation
He intended us to have.
I'll give you your lease.
But only if you solemnly swear
that you will not
go after Townes.
We've had a long marriage.
He's hurt me, but I've
I've hurt him too.
He's hurt you more.
Don't touch me, Margaret.
I should be going.
We both got what we wanted.
I won't forget this.
Have a good day, miss.
Franklin.
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord.
We're back in business.
Lunch with Veronica went well?
Does it count as lunch
if she left before we ordered?
I don't know.
But you're about to lose
your appetite.
Why?
You've been remarkably
and wonderfully made.
His works are wonderful
and I know this well.
That's really kind. Thank you.
- Isn't she the best?
- Yeah.
Sorry.
It's just Mark has told me
so much about you.
I mean, genetics are crazy.
We have so much in common.
Well, maybe not so much anymore.
Like reading, and, I mean,
I really
I love being out in nature
and just feeling the sun
on my face and
I'm so sorry.
I'm not saying what I want to.
What do you wanna say, Rose?
Just that I'm so incredibly glad
to have met you.
And that is all I wanna say.
For now.
Well, I'm not going anywhere, so.
I'm sorry.
I feel like maybe I hijacked
this moment.
You two obviously have so much
to catch up on,
so I think I'm gonna go home.
No, you don't have to go.
No, no, no.
Seriously, it's fine.
I mean, I want you to have this.
This is your time.
I'm gonna have my time later,
but right now, this is yours.
So you, I will see
back in New Orleans,
and I will see you,
for the rest of your life.
Yeah.
Kay.
Hey.
Shouldn't you be in school?
"Thelma, Erika, Marilyn."
- Who gave you this?
- Some white man.
Said you needed a push.
Hey.
Thought you hated this place.
I do.
But I thought about it
and a wife should stand
by her husband in service,
not miles away.
Aww.
What's that?
Nothing.
You wanna watch me
mix some concrete?
Sure.
I looked into those leads
that you gave me.
The 18:20,
early investors
in the Sunshine Network.
Eugene became a liability
to them
just like Governor Love.
Finally you're being smart.
Why is Margaret
still doing business with them?
I wanna talk to her.
If you're talking to me,
then you are talking to her.
Maybe she could claim ignorance
25 years ago,
but now, she'd have to be
willfully blind
not to know what they're up to.
Now that sounds like
you're asking me.
"What did she know
and when did she know it?"
No.
My question for Margaret is,
how a female CEO puts up
with the abuse of women.
At some point, Margaret's gonna
have to speak for herself.
Mr. Taylor? Get in the car.
All of this is off the record.
I believe in the free press.
And I have nothing to hide.
Well, then,
let's get straight to it.
Men who call themselves
the 18:20
were early investors
in your network.
That's common knowledge.
Ginger's accusing these men
of abuse on your watch.
Ginger knows full well
that I had nothing to do
with her mother's ordeal.
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. Ginger's right.
These men, they have taken
advantage for too long.
I have proof
that Townes is a violent man,
and I wouldn't be surprised
if he was involved in some way
with sending that man
to terrorize Tina.
"That man"
being Hagamond Sheen?
You'd have to ask Mr. Dockerty.
Or Franklin.
You are really reaching.
I learned his name from you.
Did you send Hagamond
to rough up Ginger
on Mardi Gras?
She was hurt?
No.
Ginger was kidnapped and bound
by the same man
who threatened Tina.
- That poor girl.
- I looked into Sheen.
He's been enforcing
for the 18:20
since he beat a murder rap
25 years ago.
The lead witness "fell"
from a window
the night before
she was supposed to testify.
These are the men you're doing
business with, Margaret.
Interview is over.
No comment?
Really?
I said it's over.
Sir, step out.
Hagamond.
What are you doing here?
Curious to know what you want
done with the girl?
Ginger?
Well, I already cleaned up
your mess with Virgil's tape,
so there's nothing to be done.
In fact, your services
are no longer needed.
In perpetuity.
But it's all been leading up
to this.
The rebuilding of the temple,
one world government.
You promised me paradise.
Try Florida.
Too many people have seen you.
You're a liability.
No.
I am the witness!
Hey, you remember
when we were kids, man?
Only rules we ever lived by:
Out of the house by dawn.
- Home by dark.
- Play all day.
What I wouldn't give
to go back there.
That perfect, uncomplicated time
when we were free.
Hey, man, I got something
I need to tell you.
I've seen the ever after.
I'm serious, dude.
I saw this warm, bright light
and these big blue eyes
staring right at me.
And it sounds crazy, I know,
but it was my dad.
Eugene Monreaux.
He was calling me to Heaven
and I felt his love
like it was rushing through
my body.
My body that now feels nothing.
Mark, I'm never gonna walk
again.
I was scared the whole time
you were out.
And I was obviously wondering
whether or not you'd wake up.
But then,
I was also thinking
about what it would be like
to be where you were.
And
sounds really beautiful.
I'm ready to go back, Mark.
Someday you will, brother.
Not someday.
Once you've touched paradise,
there's nothing else.
If you love me, you'll help me.
You never told me what happened
between you and my father.
No.
Luke is gonna write
about Eugene and his friends
and how they treated Tina.
I was wondering if you had
another piece of the story.
There's always another piece
to the story.
Well, you should tell it.
And you should tell me.
I'm not throwing in my chips
with those unpredictable women.
I love them, but come on.
All right, mamí.
Everything I do is for you.
Every choice I make
is for you and him.
And that's all
you will ever have to know.
So the man
they sent after you in Vegas,
he paid me a visit.
And he scared me but I'm okay.
'Cause I brought my friend.
Remember Luke?
He's a really good guy,
and he can do something
about it.
He wants to tell your story.
I'm just starting to get better.
Okay. Yeah. I understand.
What does she want?
Answer it.
Hello, Margaret.
Ginger. Hello.
Am I on speakerphone?
No.
I
Sweetie, I heard
what happened to you, and I
I did not know. I'm so sorry.
Well, now you know.
So what are you gonna do
about it?
I promise that
someone will be protecting you
and guarding your mother
from now on.
We will use all of our resources
to find the man who hurt you.
Men,
and you know where they are.
They have offices
in your building.
They come for weekends
at your country house.
We will replace these men
carefully
without destroying
what we have built
brick by brick.
Your bricks and mortar
are rotten,
and every day that you take
their money
is just another day
you become more like them.
You must give it time, Ginger,
and patience
Ginger?
You heard her.
Brick by brick.
Or maybe a stick of dynamite.
I'm ready to talk.
Now what happens?
Now we wait
for Eric to make the choice
that I never made.
He's a good man.
On the other hand,
I have knowingly wronged
men, women, and children
the world over.
Forsaking their needs.
Forsaking their love.
But when I look at Eric,
I see
My sins fully rendered.
I offer my son as my salvation.
May his goodness be a salve
to my wickedness.
May he free you from my tyranny.
In Jesus' name,
I ask your forgiveness.
Please.
How many times have I told you
about stranger danger?
Keep on walking, pervert.
A cause of great trouble
or suffering.
Many of us, we know this chaos
deep in our hearts, don't we?
We feel it
and we fight it.
But why?
Well, fight the good fight,
they say,
but what is the good fight?
We look at the world
in its current state,
we see our inner conflict
made manifest.
"Patience," says the Lord,
for God does not send
tribulations
to those who are meant
for small things.
God sends tribulations
to those who are meant
for big things.
And we are all meant
for big things, now aren't we?
How did you know
that horrible man's name?
Veronica.
Veronica.
So he is linked to Townes.
Franklin.
Who have we become?
This is not a good time.
You took the words
right out of my mouth.
Sunshine Network CEO
Margaret Monreaux
implicated in a bombshell report
accusing the network's founders
of being party
to abuses of women
- spanning 25 years.
- What?
Starting with Margaret's own
now deceased husband,
Eugene Monreaux,
whose already reported
philandering
may have been part
of a broader conspiracy
to leverage the fortunes
of the company.
Those three
gentlemen right there,
they saw something special,
they gave us our shot.
Which leaves us
with many lingering questions
as to the degree
of Margaret Monreaux's
culpability
in these alleged crimes.
We warn you,
the following video
is difficult to watch.
This man, convicted felon
Hagamond Sheen,
seen here terrorizing Margaret
Monreaux's stepdaughter,
Ginger Sweet.
"I see," said the blind man
as he picked up his hammer
and saw.
As he picked up his hammer
and saw.
Chaos.
As for Margaret Monreaux
herself,
she refused to comment.
Guess how old he was
when I taught him how to pray.
Four.
He was 8 when he learned
how to pray.
He was 8 years old?
Good times.
Close to the vest, Rachel.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
You okay?
I know you're angry, but I'm
I'm so sorry
about what that man did to you.
And to your mom and
Yeah.
My father
Our father
He let us all down.
You came all the way here
just to tell me that?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, Eric.
You don't strike me
as the seedy motel bar type.
I'm sorry, but I do?
- I could see that maybe.
- Mom.
Look, I know
these are just words
and words can only do so much,
but II'm justl'm in shock.
I'm enraged on your behalf.
This is not who we are, okay?
You gotta know that.
At least it's not
who we wanna be.
So just tell us
whatever we can do to help.
Well
you kinda already did it.
I haven't had too many people
in my life
really show up for me.
But you showed up.
All three of you.
To what is very possibly
the lamest bar in New Orleans.
So thank you.
- Yeah.
- Truly.
Of course.
And speaking of showing up.
You here to save your own hide?
That is not why I'm here.
No more lies, Mama.
Yeah, especially not
when godless thugs
are attacking
our flesh and blood.
Ginger,
what happened to you was evil
but it was not of my doing.
We are all victims here
of your father's selfish,
immoral acts.
If I am guilty of anything,
it is of trusting
a Christian man
I loved completely.
How it all came to this
I do not know.
I ask your forgiveness
in not protecting you
from Eugene's legacy.
But I will not
take responsibility for it.
I will continue to protect
what we have created,
alone if I have to.
I actually believe you,
Margaret.
You didn't know.
You were raised in a world
that taught you not to know.
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.
So this has all been
about money.
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
has been for my family.
"I can assure you,
up until a few weeks ago"
"I can assure you, up until."
I feel like I'm gaining insight
into you.
As if.
Wait, how?
Going on air
to protect the Monreaux image.
Staying on message.
It all feels so orchestrated.
Well, at least you're seen.
I'm in the background
practically doing semaphore
and no one notices.
Maybe 'cause you use words
like "semaphore."
Hell's that even mean?
Watch.
It's visual communication
using handheld flags.
Sailors use it to communicate
over great distances.
Semaphore.
You're confusing.
I was homeschooled.
Growing up,
Paul and I were taught
that God has a plan for us.
Yes, but what about our plans
for ourselves?
Don't they count for anything?
I just don't know how you do it.
I surrender.
Okay.
That was
wow.
Lord,
I ask for your forgiveness.
But you have tested me
with these evil men
and their deeds.
I am trying
to rebuild our network
with good Christian values.
I know my hands are not clean.
You be my rudder.
You show me the way.
- She's ruined me.
- Relax, Townes.
We'll lay out plans
for a path forward.
We need to get you out of here.
Hey. Townes.
I'll meet you at my studio.
Lay low.
You are an ungodly, worthless
coward!
- Calm down, brother!
- I'm not your brother.
If I ever see you here again,
Towneslook at me, damn it.
If I ever see you here again,
I will murder you
with my bare hands.
You are making a scene!
That man attacks my sister
and you are not bothered.
There are forces at play here
that are beyond you and me.
You don't understand.
I understand completely, Paul.
The missions have been failing
for decades,
decades, and yet somehow,
Monreaux Unlimited
turns a profit year after year.
How is that?
This is how.
You're not prepared
for this conversation.
Try me.
How often do you replace
your cell phone, Eric?
Every two, three years?
Battery dies, screen glitches,
you get a new one.
Without planned obsolescence,
a company can't make money.
Yeah, we're not talking
about phones, are we?
We're talking
about people's homes.
Everything's temporary, Eric.
This is all part of God's plan.
We live in an imperfect world
that God will soon upgrade
and when the Rapture comes,
the chosen will use
the money that has been
stockpiled to rebuild.
We are profiting off disaster!
Well, that's the burden
of being chosen!
You're the son of a billionaire.
Hurricanes, tsunamis,
earthquakes.
Lesser men see these
as disasters.
We see them
as God's love for us.
Does my mother know?
Your mother can never know.
That's what I thought.
I can assure you,
up until a few weeks ago,
neither Margaret nor I
had any knowledge
of what those men did
to my mother.
No.
As for what's happened to me,
who knows what's in the hearts
of those responsible.
But Margaret was not among them.
She's been there for me,
a real source of support
and a Godsend
during this terrible time.
Thank you, Ginger. Thank you.
Isn't Ginger Sweet brave
to come here
and share with us today?
And when we come back,
the wonderful world
of spring cleaning!
It can be fun!
And we've got all of these new
SunnyClub products to show you.
Don't you run off.
We'll be right back.
And we're out.
60 seconds.
Ginger.
Ginger, thank you again
for that heartfelt plea.
Yeah. Well, I understand.
Have you thought any more
of joining us here?
We women, we can work together.
We can reshape and lead
the changing world.
Thanks, but no thanks, Margaret.
It's gonna take more
than a rubber glove
and some detergent
to clean what you're shoveling.
Don't forget,
you took their money too.
And we're back, everybody!
And we've got SunnyClub towels!
Are we bad people?
Maybe.
Every time we went on that show,
every time we promoted stuff,
every time we asked for money,
people were getting hurt.
Some were getting helped.
It can't all be bad.
I don't know.
I mean, I've been playing
this role for so long,
I'm more comfortable living
a lie than anything else.
What's that say about me?
That you're working
towards something.
Towards what?
- A way out.
- How?
Everywhere we go,
our last name is Monreaux.
You ever write a story
like that on Margaret again
What are you gonna do about it?
I will kill you.
Come on, Franklin.
Franklin!
Franklin!
Ginger.
So, um, I guess you got
your money and
is that it?
- Are you leaving?
- Nope.
I got stuff to do. Plans.
You are like Mama in that way.
You always have a plan.
I plan to use this dirty money
to uplift other women.
I love that.
So what?
Like, a school in Malawi?
No. I'm investing in a startup.
Okay. What is it?
It's you, Rose.
I want to invest
in your fashion line.
Really?
Really.
My grandma has a place
in Arizona.
She lives there
- and she has a room, so
- Nice.
I might stay there for a while.
- And she rescues goats.
- No way.
- It's sweet.
- That's really cute.
Yeah.
See? What'd I tell you?
I knew he'd be back.
I'm scared for you, girl.
Hey.
II'm so sorry you lost your job.
You didn't deserve that.
Eric, it's not the first time
I'm gonna have to start over.
So, hopefully, it's the last.
Um
You're not leaving town,
are you?
Not if there's a reason to stay.
Get in the car, Yopi.
What are you looking at?
Veronica!
Are you looking for Townes?
I can't find him anywhere.
I call,
it goes straight to voicemail.
It's not like him
to give me such a long leash.
I'm worried.
Veronica.
I can't imagine life
with a man like Townes.
Come on, Margaret.
Eugene may not
have raised a hand to you,
but you and I both know
he left his mark.
What happened to the heads-up,
Margaret?
Franklin.
Can we go for a drink?
I got a late night here
with Margaret.
Maybe another time?
Yeah.
Another time.
I'll send someone for the bear.
She signed the lease
for the warehouse.
Thank God.
You better sign it quick.
None of this is sitting well
with me.
We must help Veronica
through this.
God willing, all of this
will eventually settle down.
Franklin?
Franklin?
Townes. Get up.
Townes!
Damn it!
What did you do, Townes?
What did you do to yourself?
Carry on,
false prophet.
Carry on.
Margaret and co freaked out
about a salacious tape
starring Governor Virgil Love,
AKA the politician
that graciously wanted
to poach my husband.
Love always wins.
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.
You're gonna tell me
where you're hiding
the governor's little tape.
Rose is off
gallivanting with Jason.
Suspect as usual.
Speaking of gallivanting,
Eric is cheating on me.
Heels stay on.
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?
Along with Ginger's business.
You've ruined me.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
- Just to be a part of us.
I mean, youyou said so.
That dream is dead, Rose.
Really?
Really.
Join your mama in Hell, Rose.
Someone please drop a house
on her.
She's spirited, honey.
And one day,
we will channel that spirit
over to the Lord.
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.
'Cause I'm gonna make sure
his day is worse.
Okay, chicas,
we're down but we're not out.
Now, poker
is a lot like life.
Now listen.
You're gonna keep your cards
close to your vest.
You're gonna be very,
very patient.
Never move this. All right?
When you know
you've got a winner,
you move all, all in.
Mamita.
Whoever he is,
he's not gonna call.
You don't know him like I do.
- He'll call eventually.
- Eventually.
Yeah, that's a losing
proposition.
Get your tushy over here.
Let me learn you something.
Come here.
Well, if it isn't the legendary
Don Bouchard.
Hola, Yopi.
Qué pasó?
You stop by to talk about
Antonio's championship fight?
You're smart enough to know
the fight's off.
So you drove all the way
over here to gloat?
I came here 'cause I know you,
and see,
you think you can pull
that same kind of crap on me
that you pulled on Virgil,
well, you got another thing
coming.
You and I know each other
really well.
The stories I could tell
about this boy.
You tell whoever you want to,
Yopi.
Who's gonna believe
an old wash-up like you?
What the hell was that?
That's what you call
"upping the ante."
Rose.
Hey, I've been looking all over
for you.
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?
- I don't know.
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.
Do you wanna take it
to Colorado
and meet your brother?
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.
What in the heavens' name
was that?
Townes, Reverend.
To what do we owe this pleasure?
Townes bought Virgil's stock.
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.
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?
And going forward,
we ask you run all decisions
concerning the network past us.
I'd feel more comfortable
running 'em past him.
Gentlemen.
If he hadn't married
into Veronica's money,
his office would be at the back
of a greasy spoon.
- Who you calling?
- Veronica.
Half his shares belong to her.
What more do you need
to run a real story?
My decomposing body?
The guy who attacked you
is guilty, undeniably.
But we agreed
we're chasing down
the bigger story?
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!
What's up?
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.
And you rewarded
that goodness with wealth.
I know you.
You're the man
who used to come around.
Yeah, that was me, but,
I'm not that man anymore.
Dear Lord, I fear my husband
does not have
that kind of greatness in him.
He is dedicated to good works,
but good works alone
don't make a man.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Golly.
Aren't you supposed to be
down at the missions with Eric?
Yeah, but it's Hell down there.
Delivering service to others
is not optional, Becky.
I need advice, brother.
I'm struggling in my marriage.
Eric's been taking on
a lot more work lately
now that Eugene's left us.
I feel trapped.
In myin my body,
in my circumstances, I
I feel like I've been fighting
for something
that I never really wanted.
Just quiet those thoughts
with thoughts of good fortune.
When you fell for Eric,
he fell for you,
that was God's voice
bringing you together
for a holy purpose.
It was a shotgun wedding, Paul.
The life inside you
is a miracle.
I know.
Go to the missions.
Keep your husband on track.
And remember,
it's God's plan
we must always surrender to.
I'm bringing my baby
into a loveless marriage.
God wants you to prosper.
If he didn't,
he wouldn't have gifted you
with the one true heir
to the Monreaux fortune.
If the Devil is whispering
in your ear,
you surrender to God's plan.
Veronica.
Honey, am I late?
No, I just love sitting here.
Feels more like home than home.
Now, you just slow down.
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?
You know, when your husband
twists an arm,
you learn pretty quickly
that it's smarter to say yes.
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.
It's a mission from God.
Yes.
Our Lord, He has
put me on a path
and that is why
I am sitting next to you today.
This is a conversation
He intended us to have.
I'll give you your lease.
But only if you solemnly swear
that you will not
go after Townes.
We've had a long marriage.
He's hurt me, but I've
I've hurt him too.
He's hurt you more.
Don't touch me, Margaret.
I should be going.
We both got what we wanted.
I won't forget this.
Have a good day, miss.
Franklin.
Thank the Lord, thank the Lord.
We're back in business.
Lunch with Veronica went well?
Does it count as lunch
if she left before we ordered?
I don't know.
But you're about to lose
your appetite.
Why?
You've been remarkably
and wonderfully made.
His works are wonderful
and I know this well.
That's really kind. Thank you.
- Isn't she the best?
- Yeah.
Sorry.
It's just Mark has told me
so much about you.
I mean, genetics are crazy.
We have so much in common.
Well, maybe not so much anymore.
Like reading, and, I mean,
I really
I love being out in nature
and just feeling the sun
on my face and
I'm so sorry.
I'm not saying what I want to.
What do you wanna say, Rose?
Just that I'm so incredibly glad
to have met you.
And that is all I wanna say.
For now.
Well, I'm not going anywhere, so.
I'm sorry.
I feel like maybe I hijacked
this moment.
You two obviously have so much
to catch up on,
so I think I'm gonna go home.
No, you don't have to go.
No, no, no.
Seriously, it's fine.
I mean, I want you to have this.
This is your time.
I'm gonna have my time later,
but right now, this is yours.
So you, I will see
back in New Orleans,
and I will see you,
for the rest of your life.
Yeah.
Kay.
Hey.
Shouldn't you be in school?
"Thelma, Erika, Marilyn."
- Who gave you this?
- Some white man.
Said you needed a push.
Hey.
Thought you hated this place.
I do.
But I thought about it
and a wife should stand
by her husband in service,
not miles away.
Aww.
What's that?
Nothing.
You wanna watch me
mix some concrete?
Sure.
I looked into those leads
that you gave me.
The 18:20,
early investors
in the Sunshine Network.
Eugene became a liability
to them
just like Governor Love.
Finally you're being smart.
Why is Margaret
still doing business with them?
I wanna talk to her.
If you're talking to me,
then you are talking to her.
Maybe she could claim ignorance
25 years ago,
but now, she'd have to be
willfully blind
not to know what they're up to.
Now that sounds like
you're asking me.
"What did she know
and when did she know it?"
No.
My question for Margaret is,
how a female CEO puts up
with the abuse of women.
At some point, Margaret's gonna
have to speak for herself.
Mr. Taylor? Get in the car.
All of this is off the record.
I believe in the free press.
And I have nothing to hide.
Well, then,
let's get straight to it.
Men who call themselves
the 18:20
were early investors
in your network.
That's common knowledge.
Ginger's accusing these men
of abuse on your watch.
Ginger knows full well
that I had nothing to do
with her mother's ordeal.
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. Ginger's right.
These men, they have taken
advantage for too long.
I have proof
that Townes is a violent man,
and I wouldn't be surprised
if he was involved in some way
with sending that man
to terrorize Tina.
"That man"
being Hagamond Sheen?
You'd have to ask Mr. Dockerty.
Or Franklin.
You are really reaching.
I learned his name from you.
Did you send Hagamond
to rough up Ginger
on Mardi Gras?
She was hurt?
No.
Ginger was kidnapped and bound
by the same man
who threatened Tina.
- That poor girl.
- I looked into Sheen.
He's been enforcing
for the 18:20
since he beat a murder rap
25 years ago.
The lead witness "fell"
from a window
the night before
she was supposed to testify.
These are the men you're doing
business with, Margaret.
Interview is over.
No comment?
Really?
I said it's over.
Sir, step out.
Hagamond.
What are you doing here?
Curious to know what you want
done with the girl?
Ginger?
Well, I already cleaned up
your mess with Virgil's tape,
so there's nothing to be done.
In fact, your services
are no longer needed.
In perpetuity.
But it's all been leading up
to this.
The rebuilding of the temple,
one world government.
You promised me paradise.
Try Florida.
Too many people have seen you.
You're a liability.
No.
I am the witness!
Hey, you remember
when we were kids, man?
Only rules we ever lived by:
Out of the house by dawn.
- Home by dark.
- Play all day.
What I wouldn't give
to go back there.
That perfect, uncomplicated time
when we were free.
Hey, man, I got something
I need to tell you.
I've seen the ever after.
I'm serious, dude.
I saw this warm, bright light
and these big blue eyes
staring right at me.
And it sounds crazy, I know,
but it was my dad.
Eugene Monreaux.
He was calling me to Heaven
and I felt his love
like it was rushing through
my body.
My body that now feels nothing.
Mark, I'm never gonna walk
again.
I was scared the whole time
you were out.
And I was obviously wondering
whether or not you'd wake up.
But then,
I was also thinking
about what it would be like
to be where you were.
And
sounds really beautiful.
I'm ready to go back, Mark.
Someday you will, brother.
Not someday.
Once you've touched paradise,
there's nothing else.
If you love me, you'll help me.
You never told me what happened
between you and my father.
No.
Luke is gonna write
about Eugene and his friends
and how they treated Tina.
I was wondering if you had
another piece of the story.
There's always another piece
to the story.
Well, you should tell it.
And you should tell me.
I'm not throwing in my chips
with those unpredictable women.
I love them, but come on.
All right, mamí.
Everything I do is for you.
Every choice I make
is for you and him.
And that's all
you will ever have to know.
So the man
they sent after you in Vegas,
he paid me a visit.
And he scared me but I'm okay.
'Cause I brought my friend.
Remember Luke?
He's a really good guy,
and he can do something
about it.
He wants to tell your story.
I'm just starting to get better.
Okay. Yeah. I understand.
What does she want?
Answer it.
Hello, Margaret.
Ginger. Hello.
Am I on speakerphone?
No.
I
Sweetie, I heard
what happened to you, and I
I did not know. I'm so sorry.
Well, now you know.
So what are you gonna do
about it?
I promise that
someone will be protecting you
and guarding your mother
from now on.
We will use all of our resources
to find the man who hurt you.
Men,
and you know where they are.
They have offices
in your building.
They come for weekends
at your country house.
We will replace these men
carefully
without destroying
what we have built
brick by brick.
Your bricks and mortar
are rotten,
and every day that you take
their money
is just another day
you become more like them.
You must give it time, Ginger,
and patience
Ginger?
You heard her.
Brick by brick.
Or maybe a stick of dynamite.
I'm ready to talk.
Now what happens?
Now we wait
for Eric to make the choice
that I never made.
He's a good man.
On the other hand,
I have knowingly wronged
men, women, and children
the world over.
Forsaking their needs.
Forsaking their love.
But when I look at Eric,
I see
My sins fully rendered.
I offer my son as my salvation.
May his goodness be a salve
to my wickedness.
May he free you from my tyranny.
In Jesus' name,
I ask your forgiveness.
Please.
How many times have I told you
about stranger danger?
Keep on walking, pervert.
A cause of great trouble
or suffering.
Many of us, we know this chaos
deep in our hearts, don't we?
We feel it
and we fight it.
But why?
Well, fight the good fight,
they say,
but what is the good fight?
We look at the world
in its current state,
we see our inner conflict
made manifest.
"Patience," says the Lord,
for God does not send
tribulations
to those who are meant
for small things.
God sends tribulations
to those who are meant
for big things.
And we are all meant
for big things, now aren't we?
How did you know
that horrible man's name?
Veronica.
Veronica.
So he is linked to Townes.
Franklin.
Who have we become?
This is not a good time.
You took the words
right out of my mouth.
Sunshine Network CEO
Margaret Monreaux
implicated in a bombshell report
accusing the network's founders
of being party
to abuses of women
- spanning 25 years.
- What?
Starting with Margaret's own
now deceased husband,
Eugene Monreaux,
whose already reported
philandering
may have been part
of a broader conspiracy
to leverage the fortunes
of the company.
Those three
gentlemen right there,
they saw something special,
they gave us our shot.
Which leaves us
with many lingering questions
as to the degree
of Margaret Monreaux's
culpability
in these alleged crimes.
We warn you,
the following video
is difficult to watch.
This man, convicted felon
Hagamond Sheen,
seen here terrorizing Margaret
Monreaux's stepdaughter,
Ginger Sweet.
"I see," said the blind man
as he picked up his hammer
and saw.
As he picked up his hammer
and saw.
Chaos.
As for Margaret Monreaux
herself,
she refused to comment.
Guess how old he was
when I taught him how to pray.
Four.
He was 8 when he learned
how to pray.
He was 8 years old?
Good times.
Close to the vest, Rachel.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
You okay?
I know you're angry, but I'm
I'm so sorry
about what that man did to you.
And to your mom and
Yeah.
My father
Our father
He let us all down.
You came all the way here
just to tell me that?
- Yeah.
- Yeah, Eric.
You don't strike me
as the seedy motel bar type.
I'm sorry, but I do?
- I could see that maybe.
- Mom.
Look, I know
these are just words
and words can only do so much,
but II'm justl'm in shock.
I'm enraged on your behalf.
This is not who we are, okay?
You gotta know that.
At least it's not
who we wanna be.
So just tell us
whatever we can do to help.
Well
you kinda already did it.
I haven't had too many people
in my life
really show up for me.
But you showed up.
All three of you.
To what is very possibly
the lamest bar in New Orleans.
So thank you.
- Yeah.
- Truly.
Of course.
And speaking of showing up.
You here to save your own hide?
That is not why I'm here.
No more lies, Mama.
Yeah, especially not
when godless thugs
are attacking
our flesh and blood.
Ginger,
what happened to you was evil
but it was not of my doing.
We are all victims here
of your father's selfish,
immoral acts.
If I am guilty of anything,
it is of trusting
a Christian man
I loved completely.
How it all came to this
I do not know.
I ask your forgiveness
in not protecting you
from Eugene's legacy.
But I will not
take responsibility for it.
I will continue to protect
what we have created,
alone if I have to.
I actually believe you,
Margaret.
You didn't know.
You were raised in a world
that taught you not to know.
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.
So this has all been
about money.
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
has been for my family.
"I can assure you,
up until a few weeks ago"
"I can assure you, up until."
I feel like I'm gaining insight
into you.
As if.
Wait, how?
Going on air
to protect the Monreaux image.
Staying on message.
It all feels so orchestrated.
Well, at least you're seen.
I'm in the background
practically doing semaphore
and no one notices.
Maybe 'cause you use words
like "semaphore."
Hell's that even mean?
Watch.
It's visual communication
using handheld flags.
Sailors use it to communicate
over great distances.
Semaphore.
You're confusing.
I was homeschooled.
Growing up,
Paul and I were taught
that God has a plan for us.
Yes, but what about our plans
for ourselves?
Don't they count for anything?
I just don't know how you do it.
I surrender.
Okay.
That was
wow.
Lord,
I ask for your forgiveness.
But you have tested me
with these evil men
and their deeds.
I am trying
to rebuild our network
with good Christian values.
I know my hands are not clean.
You be my rudder.
You show me the way.
- She's ruined me.
- Relax, Townes.
We'll lay out plans
for a path forward.
We need to get you out of here.
Hey. Townes.
I'll meet you at my studio.
Lay low.
You are an ungodly, worthless
coward!
- Calm down, brother!
- I'm not your brother.
If I ever see you here again,
Towneslook at me, damn it.
If I ever see you here again,
I will murder you
with my bare hands.
You are making a scene!
That man attacks my sister
and you are not bothered.
There are forces at play here
that are beyond you and me.
You don't understand.
I understand completely, Paul.
The missions have been failing
for decades,
decades, and yet somehow,
Monreaux Unlimited
turns a profit year after year.
How is that?
This is how.
You're not prepared
for this conversation.
Try me.
How often do you replace
your cell phone, Eric?
Every two, three years?
Battery dies, screen glitches,
you get a new one.
Without planned obsolescence,
a company can't make money.
Yeah, we're not talking
about phones, are we?
We're talking
about people's homes.
Everything's temporary, Eric.
This is all part of God's plan.
We live in an imperfect world
that God will soon upgrade
and when the Rapture comes,
the chosen will use
the money that has been
stockpiled to rebuild.
We are profiting off disaster!
Well, that's the burden
of being chosen!
You're the son of a billionaire.
Hurricanes, tsunamis,
earthquakes.
Lesser men see these
as disasters.
We see them
as God's love for us.
Does my mother know?
Your mother can never know.
That's what I thought.
I can assure you,
up until a few weeks ago,
neither Margaret nor I
had any knowledge
of what those men did
to my mother.
No.
As for what's happened to me,
who knows what's in the hearts
of those responsible.
But Margaret was not among them.
She's been there for me,
a real source of support
and a Godsend
during this terrible time.
Thank you, Ginger. Thank you.
Isn't Ginger Sweet brave
to come here
and share with us today?
And when we come back,
the wonderful world
of spring cleaning!
It can be fun!
And we've got all of these new
SunnyClub products to show you.
Don't you run off.
We'll be right back.
And we're out.
60 seconds.
Ginger.
Ginger, thank you again
for that heartfelt plea.
Yeah. Well, I understand.
Have you thought any more
of joining us here?
We women, we can work together.
We can reshape and lead
the changing world.
Thanks, but no thanks, Margaret.
It's gonna take more
than a rubber glove
and some detergent
to clean what you're shoveling.
Don't forget,
you took their money too.
And we're back, everybody!
And we've got SunnyClub towels!
Are we bad people?
Maybe.
Every time we went on that show,
every time we promoted stuff,
every time we asked for money,
people were getting hurt.
Some were getting helped.
It can't all be bad.
I don't know.
I mean, I've been playing
this role for so long,
I'm more comfortable living
a lie than anything else.
What's that say about me?
That you're working
towards something.
Towards what?
- A way out.
- How?
Everywhere we go,
our last name is Monreaux.
You ever write a story
like that on Margaret again
What are you gonna do about it?
I will kill you.
Come on, Franklin.
Franklin!
Franklin!
Ginger.
So, um, I guess you got
your money and
is that it?
- Are you leaving?
- Nope.
I got stuff to do. Plans.
You are like Mama in that way.
You always have a plan.
I plan to use this dirty money
to uplift other women.
I love that.
So what?
Like, a school in Malawi?
No. I'm investing in a startup.
Okay. What is it?
It's you, Rose.
I want to invest
in your fashion line.
Really?
Really.
My grandma has a place
in Arizona.
She lives there
- and she has a room, so
- Nice.
I might stay there for a while.
- And she rescues goats.
- No way.
- It's sweet.
- That's really cute.
Yeah.
See? What'd I tell you?
I knew he'd be back.
I'm scared for you, girl.
Hey.
II'm so sorry you lost your job.
You didn't deserve that.
Eric, it's not the first time
I'm gonna have to start over.
So, hopefully, it's the last.
Um
You're not leaving town,
are you?
Not if there's a reason to stay.
Get in the car, Yopi.
What are you looking at?
Veronica!
Are you looking for Townes?
I can't find him anywhere.
I call,
it goes straight to voicemail.
It's not like him
to give me such a long leash.
I'm worried.
Veronica.
I can't imagine life
with a man like Townes.
Come on, Margaret.
Eugene may not
have raised a hand to you,
but you and I both know
he left his mark.
What happened to the heads-up,
Margaret?
Franklin.
Can we go for a drink?
I got a late night here
with Margaret.
Maybe another time?
Yeah.
Another time.
I'll send someone for the bear.
She signed the lease
for the warehouse.
Thank God.
You better sign it quick.
None of this is sitting well
with me.
We must help Veronica
through this.
God willing, all of this
will eventually settle down.
Franklin?
Franklin?
Townes. Get up.
Townes!
Damn it!
What did you do, Townes?
What did you do to yourself?
Carry on,
false prophet.
Carry on.
