I don't see how you think that,

Come here... Come here.

- They know I'm here.

- How do they know that?

- I called in.

- Who did you tell?

- My boss.

- And he told you not to come?

- Yes, he did.

- And you came anyway? - I-I-I-I--

- Why? Why would you do that?

- I-I was... - You was...

- How did you know that?

- What do you mean, how did I know?

- Put him back in the fucking... - No, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

- I don't want to do this.

- You don't have a choice.

- I'm not doing it.

- Raise your robe, raise your robe!

- I said don't touch me.

- [chuckles]

Are you really trying this?

- I will tell The Highest.

- Then I will tell him that you've been feeding

the deserters.

- I don't care.

- You'll be punished more harsh than I will.

- I will tell him what you been doing to me.

- I'm going to tell him now.

- RIVER: Brother!

- What are you doing here?

- I saw you get on.

- Get off the bus, River.

- What are you doing, sister?

- I was...

- You know, this looks awful.

- Yeah, well, I'm sorry.

- Perhaps I should tell The Highest and Dikahn.

- No.

- I mean, this looks really bad. - River...

- Yes? - There's nothing going on here.

She was doing something she shouldn't have been doing

and I was telling her

not to do it again.

- And what is that?

- She's been feeding the deserters.

- Is that so?

- He's been raping me. - That is a lie.

- All right, stop!

If The Highest hears any of this, you both will be punished.

- Well, her more than me.

- Have you ever seen him punish a man?

- Uh, no... No, I haven't.

- Then you have no idea how bad it really is.

- River... - You know, how about we all

just forget about this?

No one say anything and we all just stay away from each other?

- Yes, brother.

- It will be better for the sake of the Raku.

- Yes, yes, it will be.

- Sister Zane?

- As long as he stays away from me.

- And he will, won't you?

- Yeah, yeah, I will.

- Well, that's settled then.

Shall we?

Are you okay?

- Yeah.

- I told you not to go near the punishment trailer.

- Well, I did. - And you see what happened?

- Looks like it turned out better.

- No, it didn't. - He's off of me.

- To everything there is a cost, Zane.

- I'm not paying that cost. - Just calm down.

- I won't. - Calm down.

- No! - Zane...

- I don't want him touching me.

- Lynn.

- What?

- Look at me.

- What the hell?

- Hey. - What's going on?

- Lynn, look at me.

- Brian? - Yeah.

- Wait, wait, wait, this is a dream.

This a dream. - No.

- No? No, no, no, this a nightmare?

- Lynn, look at me. - God, my head hurts...

- Lynn...

- I need some water.

- Lynn, damn it...

- Wha-what happened to your fingers?

What happened to your fingers? What the fuck is going on?

What's happening? What's happening?

- I'm okay. - No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, this is a bad dream. This is a bad dream.

This is a bad dream. This is a bad dream.

I'm going back to sleep. I'm going back to sleep.

- Look at me. - I'm going back to sleep.

God... Fuck this high.

- Damn Lynn, listen.

- What? - Listen.

- What? - Focus.

- Focus? What? What?

- We're at the Rakudushi camp.

- What? - Are you awake?

- I think so. - Okay, okay.

We're at the camp.

- Is this real? - Yes.

- I don't know, I've never seen some of this, I don't know.

Wait, wait, why's this place so red?

- Did you come here with Malcolm?

- I-I was um... - Did you come here with him?

- Why you care, Brian?

Why do you care?

- Lynn...

We're both gonna fucking die if you don't wake up.

- Okay, what is this, what is this, what?

- Did you come here with Malcolm?

- Yes! Okay, yes, he came here, he drove me here, but...

I don't, I don't remember this place.

- Why the hell did you do that?

- Oh, fuck, Brian.

Why don't you get it, you can't tell me what to do?

- So you were with him last night?

- Yes, Brian. Yes, okay?

'Cause he fucks me well.

- Snap outta this shit.

- Yeah, yeah, I get it. I'll help us...

Help! - Lynn!

Shh... - Help!

- Lynn, shh...

You can help us.

There's a table over there, there's a file on it.

- Come get us outta here, Brian.

- Listen to me...

- Where are my clothes, where the fuck is my clothes?

Where are my clothes? - Damn it.

- This shit is crazy.

This shit is crazy, I gotta get outta here, Brian.

I gotta get outta here. Help!

Help! Somebody help me, please.

- Please stop it, Lynn.

Please sober up.

- You always think that I'm high...

- They drugged you, you are high.

- So it's my fault? Hmm? - Shit, shit...

- It's my fault, Brian? - Stop!

- Don't tell me what the fuck to do.

- Please.

- Help!

Help! - Please stop.

- Help! - Please.

- Manny. - Yes, Dikahn.

- Have you seen Andrew?

- No, no sir, I haven't.

- You find him. - Yes, Dikahn.

- Where was he last?

- Um, he was on the perimeter, I believe.

- Well, you find him and you bring him to me.

Okay? - Yes, Dikahn.

- Carry on. - Yes, sir.

- Your Highest?

- He's asleep.

- I need to speak to him.

- You can wake him.

But I wouldn't.

- I saw him dragging you through the camp earlier.

What did you do, you stupid woman?

- I was out of line.

- What did you do? - I brought lemonade to a guest.

- What guest? - The sheriff, when he was here.

- So he spoke to him? - Yes.

- What about? - I didn't hear anything.

- Are you lying to me?

- No, Dikahn. Would you like to wake him up?

- Hmm, no.

But as soon as he wakes up,

tell him I need to see him right away.

- Yes, Dikahn.

- Yeah...

- Dikahn. - What is it?

- I need one of your men. - Oh,

you're still doing that, are you?

- Don't play with me, Dikahn.

- That is what you were doing, right?

- I need one of your men to go to the market.

- Well, we are busy right now.

- The Highest will need things.

- I said, we are busy.

- So when he asks where are the things he needs,

I'll just tell him that Dikahn was too busy.

- Old woman, I will send you someone.

- Who? - Whoever I can spare.

- You are not that busy.

- Old woman...

- Why do you have to be such a devil?

- You are the devil, Marva.

- But I am doing this for all of us.

- Doing what? - All of it!

- Yeah, you only do things for yourself.

- I know you don't like her being with him.

- What? - Ruth.

- What are you talking about?

- I have a plan. - What plan?

What is your plan? - No.

You want to know?

Then send someone to the market.

- I don't have time for this madness, Marva.

- Come. - What?

- Come here. - What, Marva?

- Come here...

I don't believe Ruth is pregnant.

- What?

- I saw in the shower.

So, I want to get

a pregnancy test

and prove to The Highest that she is lying.

- What? - Yes.

She should at least be showing like a cantaloupe now.

- Is that right? - Yes.

And her stomach, oh, it is as flat as mine.

- Marva. - What?

- Your stomach is flat?

- [chuckles]

What are you trying to say?

- Nothing. Nothing at all.

- So, I need a man to go to the store.

Where is Andrew?

- No, you can't have Andrew.

- Then, who can I send?

- I will let you know.

- Well, don't keep me waiting all day.

- I said, I will let you know.

- [Marva growling]

- Ruth.

- River.

- Feeling all right?

- I'm fine.

- I walked past The Highest's trailer.

I heard opera.

I take it he's calm?

- As calm as he will be.

- I'm sorry about earlier. - [scoffs]

What do you want? - I want to talk to you.

- You always wanna talk to me.

- We have a problem.

- And what is that?

- Manny is raping Zane.

- Is he now? - Yes.

- What is she saying?

- She's uncontrollable.

- I see.

- Can you talk to her?

- What am I going to say to her?

- Tell her how to take care of it.

- Take charge? - Yes,

like you are doing with The Highest.

- Doesn't he rape you?

- Yes.

- Huh, have you taken charge?

- I have until he is coked out of his mind.

- Oh well, then you can teach her.

Because he can't get coke.

- Stop this, okay? Please.

- River... - We need her.

- Why do we need her?

- She's been in this from the beginning with us.

- I'm not so sure

I need to split this money in any other ways.

- She doesn't even know about the money.

- What? - Yeah.

- Then what is that dumb bitch doing here?

- She's scared. - Ha, no. No.

- What? - I don't trust it.

- Ruth, she's with us.

- I don't trust it and I don't trust her.

- Okay, well, we need her. - You need her.

- She's been eyes for me and for us.

- What do you mean?

- She gets information.

People talk around her because they think that

she's fearful and harmless.

- Oh, she is fearful.

But not harmless.

- Ruth, please.

- When the Elder Mother was in our trailer,

I didn't trust her then and I don't trust this.

- Ruth, you know better than anyone

what and how they do things to separate us.

- I don't.

- Look, can you just please talk to her?

- River... - What?

- Stop giving me orders

like you're the queen bitch around here.

- No, that would be you.

- Yeah, but you saw how he slapped me

and dragged me throughout the camp.

- Yes.

And now, I see that you are fine.

Okay? And it's quiet.

So as I said, you have the power to teach her.

- Go away. That way.

- That way?

- That way.

- Yes, Mrs. Highest.

- Fuck off.

- You know... - What?

- I wish that they would just come in here

and get it over with.

- Lacey. - What?

- Don't say that.

- What do we have to lose?

- We have a lot to lose, Lacey.

- No, they wanna torture us and make us just suffer.

- It's gonna be okay. - Don't you say

it's gonna be okay.

You know it's not.

- Yeah. - Or we can...

- Or we can what?

- We can choose our own way.

- What do you mean by that?

- You could choke me.

- Lacey, I'm not doing-- - I wanna die in your arms.

- No, I'm not doing that.

- Why not?

- Wh--Lacey, no. I'm not doing it, okay?

- So I guess they will just torture us and kill us.

- I'll do everything that I can.

- No, I made a mess of my life in all of this.

- I'm not doing that.

- Well, then, I guess they will.

- I'll do everything I can.

- There's nothing else you can do.

- She'll help us.

- Zane is not coming.

- She helped us last time. She'll come again.

- Okay...

- Just hold on, Lacey.

She knows where the guns are, she'll help us.

- Okay.

- I'm sorry. - I'm just...

- [banging]

- What's that banging?

- They are torturing somebody.

- Damn...

- But you don't wanna leave on my terms.

- I don't wanna hear that. - Oliver...

- I'm not hearing that.

No.

I'm gonna wait for Zane.

I know she's coming. She's coming.

- How do you know?

- 'Cause she has to.

- Okay.

But if she doesn't in the next hour...

- No! - How long?

- We gotta give her time, Lacey.

- Why won't you do this for me?

If you loved me, you would.

- I told you, I'm not hearing that.

- I'm just saying.

- I don't wanna hear anything else about it.

She's coming.

- Okay. - She's coming...

- Ruth.

- Yes, Elder?

- That's Elder Supreme.

- Yes, Elder Supreme. - [chuckles]

Well, is The Highest hungry?

- I will let you know.

- He usually is by now.

- He is resting.

- Are you sure?

- What? You don't believe me? You think I'm lying?

- I'm just wondering why you're delaying his meals.

- I'm not delaying his meals.

I told you, he is resting.

- Oh, I see.

- Is there something you want to say to me?

- Methinks me said all me needs to.

- Okay.

- You look lovely.

- Thank you. So do you.

- Oh, I can see that baby glow all over you.

- Yes, and I can feel it.

- Yes.

And I saw you showering this morning.

And I see you have no bump at all.

- Well, it was the same way with Callie.

And I just got huge all of sudden.

- Oh, I see.

- Well, you have a good day.

- Do you miss Sister Tally?

- She's a deserter.

- Well, true, but do you miss her?

- No, I don't.

- Good, 'cause she's dead.

- Good.

- She killed herself. - Good.

- Well, don't you want to know where?

- Does it matter?

- Oh, no. Me guess not.

- Okay, well, you have a good day.

- Good day!

[Marva laughs]

- [crickets chirping]

- Who is that? - It's me, Elder Mother.

- How did you get in here?

- I came in through the back.

- What are you doing here?

- I was looking for something for my headache.

- You're not supposed to be in there.

- Yes, ma'am.

It's just that I've got a headache, Elder Mother.

I think I might be having a fever.

Can you feel it?

- No, you don't.

- I'm sorry, Elder Mother.

- What did you take? - Some aspirin.

- Hmm.

Here.

- What is this?

- Don't ask. This is better.

- Okay. But what is it, Elder Mother?

- Don't worry about it. Just take it.

- Yes, Elder Mother. Thank you.

Give me that cup there.

Here. Drink.

- Thank you so much, Elder Mother.

- Why can't you go to the store?

- What do you mean, Elder Mother?

- I want you to go to the store.

- Okay. I'll go for you.

- I have to talk to Dikahn first.

- Elder Mother, it's perfectly fine.

I'll just tell them later.

- No. To have him as mad as a bull at me?

I have to trick him to make him think it's his idea to send you.

- Is that so?

- Yes, because of what you did the last time.

You lied to him.

- Hey. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on now, Elder Mother.

- Then where did you go?

- I was on an assignment for The Highest.

- And Dikahn didn't know?

- No, ma'am. He did not.

- Oh, I'm sure that made him angry.

- Yes, ma'am. It definitely did.

- [both chuckle]

- Well, when I speak to him, I will get him to try

and let you go.

- Yes, Elder Mother.

- Go on now. I need to cook for The Highest.

- Yes, Elder Mother. - [chuckles]

- I will let you know.

- Yes, ma'am. Thank you so much, Elder Mother.

- Ruth.

Are you okay?

- Of course.

- Wonderful.

- It is so great to be loved by the Raku.

- Yes, yes, it is.

But Ruth... - Joan...

- Please, don't disappoint The Highest.

- Yes. I am a stupid woman.

- We all are.

- Yes.

- We are not a match for the men.

- Yes.

- Ruth, if there is anything I can do to help you..

- The Highest-- - To learn, to do better?

- The Highest will teach me all that I need to know.

- Yes, he will. He will.

- Joan?

- Your Highest, I am so sorry.

I hope I didn't wake you.

- No.

- Well, I just wanted to give you an update.

- Go on.

- Can I speak freely?

- Yes. She thinks as I think.

- Oh, of course.

Two more branches confirmed for Tuesday,

and I need to check emails for any others.

- Good.

All right. Go on.

- Thank you.

- Ruth, I'm going to take a walk.

- Yes, Your Highest.

- You are such a fortunate woman.

- I don't know what I could have done to make him choose me.

I'm so moved.

- Oh, yes, we are.

Men are so superior.

And to think he would like the likes of you.

- Cut the shit. He's gone.

- Oh, good.

- So what did you find?

- We need to get down to business.

Are you sure he's gone?

- Girl... Yes. - Okay.

So when I was in here yesterday, I figured I'd look to see

how to fake a pregnancy test.

- He will see that.

- You give him too much credit.

- What do you mean?

You don't think he knows how to search history?

- If he knew, he'd know how to delete his.

You should see some of the sick, twisted, vomit-inducing

things he looks at. - I don't wanna know.

I don't wanna know. - Good.

'Cause you would never look at him the same.

- Okay. What did you find?

- Soda. - What?

- S-O-D-A. Soda.

Some of the chemicals in soda mimic pregnancy.

So all you would have to do is dip the test in soda.

- You told me you told her not to get one.

- No, but she is sending Zane to the store after all.

- What?

- She wants Zane to steal the pregnancy test,

since I wouldn't give her the money for it.

- Well, that's fucking great.

- So, soda.

- There are no sodas here.

- We just have to make sure she gets us one.

- Okay.

- You know, I tried to get him to let you come with us

to get the money.

- Why?

- I don't trust him.

Like, what if he takes all the money and just leaves us here?

- You're right. - Yeah.

That's what you would do.

- My daughter is here.

- Except for that little fact.

- Well, if I'm with him or not, he could still do that.

- Yes, but at least I would have someone with me in case--

- What?

- In case we need to stop him.

- Joan. - What?

- You are talkin' this shit like you are big and bad.

Girl, you are a weak-assed, scary chick

who was about to commit suicide.

- I wouldn't let the mousy voice

and the glasses fool you, honey.

- Yeah, okay.

- Great. - What?

- Two more banks confirmed.

So that puts us at right about

$750,000. Yes.

- Wow. - Yeah.

So are we good? Is that enough?

- To get us caught. No, we want all of it.

- Okay, if that's what we're doing.

Whew.

- I have a question. - Yes. What is it?

- Sister Tally.

- What about her?

- The Elder Mother said she was dead.

- She is.

- Well, how does she know?

- I told her.

- How do you know?

- I saw it online.

- What?

- She, uh, she committed suicide.

- Does The Highest know?

- He knows.

- Are you, are you sure she committed suicide?

- Yes.

She went to these people's house in DC, uh,

Nancy and Richard Holsen or Halsen, I think.

- What? - Do you know them?

- No.

- Well, they, uh, they told the reporter that--

That their granddaughter was missing

and that she was with their mother,

with her mother in a cult.

That was their word. That's what they called it.

And that she was kidnapped.

- Is that so?

- So Sister Tally

took the gun

and shot herself.

Are you okay?

Ruth--

You have to hold it together.

- Don't tell me what to do.

- Yes. - Get out.

- [sniffs]

- Get out.

- Andrew, Andrew. - Shh-shut-up.

Hey. Here. Shh. - What the fuck?

- Take this.

- What is this? - It's for the pain.

- LYNN: Andrew, get me out of here, right now.

- Shh. Brian. - Hold up, man.

- Take this.

- You've gotta get us out of here.

- I can't, man. I'm trying.

- What do you mean you're trying?

- LYNN: This is bullshit. - Shut up.

Take this, man. Just take it.

It's for the pain, man. Come on.

- I'm not taking that.

You've got to get us the fuck out of here.

- I can't do that right now, man.

I gotta go.

- Andrew, I swear I will tell them.

- You do that and we're all gonna be fuckin' dead.

- My God, I can't take any more. I can't take any more.

- Come on, man.

Just I got this from the kitchen, okay?

It's for your pain, brother. Please, just take it.

- No.

- Look, I'm sorry, man, but I gotta go.

- No, come back here!

- LYNN: Andrew! Really?

- Don't y'all see I'm trying to save us?

Aight, shit!

- Get Mack in here.

- I can't get Mack.

I don't have a phone yet, man.

I'm trying to find one.

- How long? - I don't know, brother.

I'm trying, man.

- Fuck you're trying. What the hell?

I swear to you I'm going to tell

every damn thing if you don't get me out of here right now!

- Shut up, Lynn! Shut up!

- Help! - BOTH: Help?

- Shut up!

- BRIAN: Lynn! - Andrew's in here!

- Lynn! Shut her the fuck up, man.

- LYNN: Andrew's in here! - Lynn, Lynn...

Shut up!

- What the fuck?

- Man, look, look, I'm sorry, okay?

- You motherfucker.

- Man, I'm sorry. Look, I gotta go.

- That's it. - No.

- That's it.

- I gotta go, man. I'm going to be back.
