Die ersten 200 Zeilen.
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.
