Stop it, please!

[Narrator] Previously on Ruthless...

That girl would have killed you in that chair.

She wasn't going to do that.

But what if something happens to her?

We need to know what to give him!

Nothing is going to happen to that old bitch.

They legit just showed up outta nowhere.

No.

I don't believe that.

You--you need to go to a hospital.

No, we don't go to hospitals.

[door cracks open]

[tense music]

Hey... What the hell?

- I'm-I'm... I'm sorry... - You gotta help us.

- No! No! No... - Help... Help-help us.

[men continue panting]

- Help us. - What... What's going on?

We are all FBI agents.

- What? - Yes!

Wait... [nervous breathing]

What?!

We're all agents

Look at me, man. Look... Hey! Hey!

Look! Hey! I was a member of the camp.

I'm an undercover agent, okay?

They found out, and now,

they have us all chained up in here,

and they are going to kill us.

L-Look, we need your help, man! All right?

- Wait... Wait, what? - Look, look at me. Look...

[whispers] Do you have a phone?

Do you have a phone? Do you have a cellphone?

- N-N-No... No. - Oh, shit...

You need to help us get the fuck out of here?!

Shit!

I don't... I don't know if I should.

- This motherfucker is an agent! - Calm down, Malcolm...

- Get us out of here! - Stop! Malcolm, stop!

- Get me out of here now! - Malcolm!

Malcolm, calm down! Calm down, man.

Okay? Stop it.

Look... Hey...

We're not lying to you, man. This is all legit.

- Okay? Look at us. - How do I know that?

Look, we are chained up, man!

We are telling you the truth!

- Okay? - No, no, no... This...

This-This... This is a loving place.

Okay, look... Wait...

- Wait. - Come on, man!

Would a loving place have us chained up like this?

I... I need to talk to my wife.

- No! No! - No, no, no...

You need to help us get out of here, okay?

And then, you need to get your wife

and you need to get the fuck out of here yourself, okay?

Look at me, man!

I-I-I can't... I can't, I can't...

Come on, man!

What? What? What?!

Look at us! We need help, man!

I don't know where I can get tools!

Look... Look, look at me. Look, look...

There is a bus right next door.

A school bus! There is all types of tools over there, man!

I don't... I don't know, I don't know if I can.

Yes, you do! Look at me! You can do this!

Yes, you can! You can help us!

I-I-I have to go, I have to go...

No, you can help us!

No! No! No! No, I have to go!

- Help! No! - No! No!

What are you doing?!

Oh, man...

Aaron.

[Joan sighs]

Yes?

Where have you been?

I was just looking for the outhouse.

No, this... This is not a good thing.

No.

Come on.

Okay.

You know, the Highest...

The Highest has not made his decisions yet.

So...

You shouldn't be walking all about.

Yes.

Of course.

Are you okay?

Yes.

So where were you?

I got a chance to really see the place.

What were you doing in here?

I thought that was the outhouse.

River showed you the outhouse.

I guess I just have a bad sense of direction.

Where's Laura?

My friend, Laura,

is where I asked both of you to wait.

In the trailer.

Okay.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah.

Good.

Come on.

After you.

You wanted to see me, Your Highest?

Yes.

What can I do for you?

Sit.

What can I do for you?

I want to see you tonight.

Yes, Your Highest.

I want you to do that thing to me.

Yes, Your Highest.

And I want to do that thing to you.

Nothing would give me more pleasure.

Yes, I know.

You can tell?

Well, your, uh...

Eyes roll back in your head.

[laughs shyly]

Yes.

That's when you're doing it right.

Ouch!

I don't always do it right?

No.

But you're getting better.

You intrigue me, Ruth.

And why is that?

Nobody has the balls to tell me the truth.

Well, I will.

Always.

Thank you.

But I think Dikahn does.

You think?

He loves you.

Yes, he does.

And River.

Woo...

[The Highest grunts]

I owe him an apology.

Why is that?

[The Highest sighs]

I just get angry,

and he's the one I like to take it out on.

Do you?

Yes.

And why do you think you get so angry?

I don't know.

It's the rage of the Raku that's inside me.

That I understand.

Do you?

Yes, I can see it in your eyes.

I see.

Does the anger come at certain times of the day?

Why would you ask me that?

Well...

I just wanted to know if...

If it happens before your meals or after,

morning time, noon time,

or at night...

It's random.

But yes, after I eat, either I'm...

I'm relaxed or I'm uptight.

Could be any time.

I see.

It's whenever the Raku speaks to me.

I...

[both chuckle]

Well... That, I understand.

Yes, I know.

That makes so much sense.

Yes, I know, I'm The Highest.

Yes, you are.

Prepare yourself for me.

Yes, Your Highest.

I will be ready for you.

Yes, Your Highest.

Where have you been?

I got lost.

Lost?

Yeah.

This place is not that big.

[tense music]

It's deceiving.

Yeah?

Well, you could have ruined this for me.

- I'm sorry. - No!

Don't do that again!

I said I was sorry.

[Laura sighs deeply]

Joan.

Can I talk to him alone, please?

- Sure. - Sure, that's a good idea.

I'll be outside.

Thank you.

[door creaks open]

[door creaks and closes]

[Aaron breathes heavily]

Have you lost your mind?!

[whispering] Okay, you need to listen to me.

- What? - We have to get out of here.

Aaron, what are you talking about?!

Laura...

I can't deal with your bullshit right now.

- Laura! [shaky breathing] - Okay?

These people are fucking crazy!

[Aaron breathing heavily]

Where did you go?

I saw the kids that they locked in trailers,

and I saw the FBI agents that they have naked

in the containers!

Will you stop it?!

Laura, we have to get out of here!

You're not telling me the truth!

Look at my hands!

[Aaron panting]

Is that blood?!

Yes.

There was this security guard man who asked me to help him.

His dick was sliced on both sides!

What?!

They are doing some crazy shit here,

and we have to leave!

No, I mean...

This is paradise!

Are you fucking kidding me right now?!

It has to be!

Laura.

I know that we're on some spiritual journey, okay, honey?

I know that we are.

But this is not it. Okay?

- It has to be! - We have to leave.

Laura! We have to leave, okay? I'm telling you the truth.

No!

- Joan would have told us. - No!

She wouldn't have!

I have to ask her.

No! Okay, we're not doing that.

Okay? We have to go!

We have to leave!

This is... This is too much.

Laura, we have to go. We have to tell the police.

We have to tell them about the FBI agents,

and then, we have to get the fuck out of here.

- I don't believe this! - I don't care what you believe.

- Okay? We're leaving. - Aaron!

- Laura... - Come on!

We're getting out of here, okay?

[Laura groans]

[Ruth] River.

[music]

Hi.

I have a question.

I have an answer.

When he sees you when he is angry,

what does he look like?

What do you mean?

Answer the question.

His eyes are glassy.

He's crazed in the face sometimes.

I see.

Why are you asking?

I just wanted to know.

Look, Ruth, I can't take this shit anymore, okay?

I need this money.

- I need it now. - Just...

Be patient.

If he calls me again...

He's not gonna call you tonight, he wants to see me.

Are you sure?

Yes.

After what he did...

River.

No.

No. No, no, no, no...

I will kill that motherfucker.

River!

You don't know what he did.

What did he do?

He made me put a gun to my head

and pull the trigger.

Well, did you die?

Bitch, you think this is funny?

Call me a bitch one more time...

It's not funny. It's not.

- It's not funny. - It's not funny, yeah.

- It's not. - It's not funny.

I'm not going to see him like that again.

I think I'm onto something.

What?

I think the Elder Mother is controlling his moods.

What, is she, like, a witch or something?

Now you want to be cute right now?

I'm just asking.

Okay.

The drugs she puts in his food.

I think it's making him go from happy, to sad, to angry.

You think?

Yes, you know she loves this shit.

She really does.

You think it's...

You think she's drugging him?

Yes!

So I need to know what's in those powders.

I don't know how you're gonna find that out.

Well, Zane went to the supermarket.

[Ruth sighs]

We need her to get those labels back to us

before she tears them off.

I don't think Zane will do that.

I know.

That girl is fucking gone.

It's fucking scary.

[Ruth sighs deeply]

Well...

I need to know, because I think that's what she's doing.

Okay.

How long before she gets back?

Shouldn't be much longer.

Damn...

What?

I hope she doesn't forget the soda.

"Forget the soda"?

For the pregnancy test.

What?

[Ruth sighs]

There's some chemicals in soda

that make a pregnancy test go positive.

Okay, what... What am I missing here?

The Elder Mother has gotten pregnancy tests for me.

She told The Highest that I'm not really pregnant.

Shit...

Yeah, so...

I hope she remembers.

And I hope Joan is right.

You go talk to Joan.

I will see what I can find out

and see if I can find any soda around here.

Okay.

Thank you.

Yeah.

River.

What?

I'll handle him tonight.

Okay?

You'll be okay.

Ruth.

If he does what he did to me again tonight,

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I got him tonight.

Just lay low.

Okay.

[footsteps on wood]

[music]

Joan.

[Joan sighs]

[whispering] I found him.

Okay. Good.

He's acting strange.

What do you mean?

I think he saw something.

Well, you need to find out what it is.

Yeah, I know.

- Well, do it. - I will.

[Ruth breathes deeply]

The pregnancy test will be here any minute.

You'll be fine.

Not if she forgets the soda.

Well, she won't forget.

No.

[Joan sighs]

Zane has gone all... Space cadet and shit.

You will be... Fine.

Have you been drinking?

No!

Yeah, you have.

No, I haven't. It's fine.

[Ruth clears her throat]

Hi!

Uh, we're gonna have to go.

What?

Yeah...

We have some things we need to check on at home.

But you haven't spoken to The Highest yet.

It's okay.

We'll come back.

Well, that's not how this works.

What?

We don't want him to think you're being rude!

Do you?

No. Not at all.

Well...

- You need to stay put. - No.

We're leaving.

Why?

Well...

What did you see?

What?

When you were on your... Journey.

What did you see?

Nothing.

[Ruth] Hm...

This place is great.

No.

You should come and see The Highest.

[Laura breathes deeply]

No. We're gonna go.

That is not the best idea, Aaron.

Why?

[breathes deeply] Well...

You don't want to insult him. Do you?

He might curse you

instead of bless you.

[Joan] I mean, even if he says no,

it should be he that tells you to leave.

It's just a custom in our religion.

I see.

Well, it's just a chance we're gonna have to take.

I'm sorry.

Wait.

I'm sorry.

No, don't go! Wait!

[loudly] Well, the gates are locked.

You can't just leave.

[Joan breathes deeply]

Well?

[Joan chuckles]

This is gonna be fun.

[singsongy] I don't think so...

[relaxing music]

[chuckles]

Oh, Your Highest.

Yes. Yes, yes, come in.

I brought you your dinner.

Put it right there.

Where would you like me to put it?

I said there.

I was talking to The Highest.

Do you know how difficult it is

to hear you two at each other all the time?

I am sorry, Your Highest.

Sorry, sir.

Well, stop it.

Yes, Your Highest.

Here is your meal.

Is that all?

Yes. Yes, you may go.

Oh, and Your Highest...

Zane will be back soon.

She went to the store to get some pregnancy tests.

Uh, pregnancy tests?

Yes, for Ruth and the other women.

Uh... Ok, that's great.

[laughs] Yes.

You let me know when.

Okay.

I will as soon as they come back.

Okay.

Enjoy your meal

Thank you, Elder Mother.

- She makes me-- - Stop it.

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

You two are my most trusted.

I need both of you to get along!

[Dikahn sighs]

I will try, Your Highest.

Try harder.

Will do, sir.

This is why I love River more sometimes.

- Your Highest? - Yes.

He is no fuss, no problem.

[clinks silverware]

He just...

He just pleases me.

That's it

I see.

You, on the other hand, always gotta show your...

Toxic masculinity.

Oh...

It gets old.

- I'm sorry, Your Highest. - Yeah, it's fine.

It just makes you a little different.

Yes, Your Highest.

Napkin.

How are the prisoners?

They are...

Dumb.

"Dumb"?

Yes.

How so?

They talked a lot while I was in there.

Anything interesting?

Nothing but lies.

That's what the white man government does.

Lies.

Yes, that is, sir.

Hm...

I am disappointed in Andrew.

Yes, as am I, sir.

I had high hopes for him.

What kind of agent kills?

That's why he keeps staying, sir.

Yeah.

I'll test him.

- Your Highest? - Yes.

Bring him to me.

Yes, Your Highest.

Ill eat first, and then, I wanna talk to him.

Yes, Your Highest.

Actually, bring all three of them.

Bring them out back.

Yes, Your Highest.

Yeah. Let's see where his loyalty lies.

Yes, Your Highest.

That's good.

[The Highest sighs]

I wanna eat in peace.

- Go. - Yes, Your Highest.

You can't leave.

Uh...

No, we have to.

No! The Highest has not given you permission.

- But we... - What did I say?

You can't hold us here against our will.

Sorry, but I can.

Come on back to the finance trailer, guys,

and let's talk.

No offense, Joan,

but we wanna leave.

I would strongly advise against it, Aaron.

Why?

You will be sorry if you don't.

Come, let's go.

No.

We're leaving.

What's going on?

They're trying to leave, sir.

Why so soon?

Sorry, we just have...

What is it?

Well, we have an emergency

at home.

How do you know that?

Well, I...

Did you call someone?

No.

I just...

I realized my mother is sick.

I see.

We have to go.

No, you don't.

Please.

Well, The Highest has made a decision.

He-he has?

[Dikahn] Yes!

- Well... - No, come.

He's having dinner right now, and he will be out soon.

We, uh...

Really...

Should get going.

You both are going to come.

Joan.

Yes, Dikahn?

Have the Elder Mother prepare them something

to calm them down.

Yes, Dikahn.

We...

We really don't need anything. We're...

- We're fine. - You...

Are going to come.

[Dikahn] Come, now.

Come.

[footsteps on gravel]

[tense music]

[Marva] Ah! Hello!

Hello, Elder Mother.

How are you?

[Joan] I'm so good.

So good, Elder Mother.

Thanks you for asking.

Dikahn has asked that you prepare something for our guests

to help calm them down.

Are they upset?

Yes. They want to leave!

[Elder Mother gasps]

Oh no!

Oh, yes.

Has The Highest talked to them yet?

That's the thing. He hasn't!

Well, what happened?

They were so excited about being here!

I don't know...

Ya sure you don't know?

Positive.

Did you tell them?

Tell them what, Elder Mother?

How things are around here.

No! Of course not!

Are ya sure?

Of course I'm sure, Elder Mother.

We need more people.

We do.

We really, really do.

And he comes from money, they tell me.

He does.

[Elder Mother whimpers]

Well, then he has to stay!

I'm sure that you can prepare something to make them...

Happy.

Yes! I can!

Thank you, Elder Mother.

You wait there.

Hmmm!

I will, Elder Mother.

[Elder Mother giggles]

How was the trip?

It was good.

What did you get?

I got what The Highest needed.

Did you go to the pharmacy?

Yes.

Well, uh... Can I see?

Why?

Please?

- I have to get to the kitchen. - It's okay! Just...

Let me see what's inside.

Why do you want to see?

I-I just want to know what she's giving The Highest.

What?

Well, she feeds him, and...

If something happens to her, we won't know what to give him.

What do you mean?

I mean his medications.

What?!

He needs medications to stay stable.

No, he doesn't!

Yes, Zane.

He does.

No, he doesn't.

Zane, yes, he does!

You know, I could go to him

and tell him you think he's crazy.

I don't think he's crazy, I think he's perfect.

Well, perfect people don't need medication.

You're right.

But he's so powerful,

it helps to keep his brain from exploding.

- River... - No, it's true!

Here.

[River looks through bag]

You can't keep them!

[River keeps checking bag]

You can't keep them!

I have to bring the labels to the Elder Mother.

- Okay. Thank you. - She likes to keep them.

[River reads labels]

Hurry!

Okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Did you get the soda?

Soda?

You didn't... Get soda.

No...

Soda? No.

Okay.

- I have to go. - [River] Yes.

[door creaks open]

Oh! You're back!

Yes, Elder Mother.

Oh!

I've been waiting for you!

And here I am.

Did you get the pregnancy test?

Yes, Elder Mother, I did.

Okay! Great!

Thank you! Thank you, thank you!

Can I help you?

No.

I'm going to find Sister Ruth.

Yes, Elder Mother.

[men panting]

He's not coming.

[Malcolm puffs]

I know...

I know, man.

This is some bullshit.

[Andrew sighs]

- We're done. - You're done.

I'm not giving up like this.

[Malcolm laughs scornfully]

What choice do you have?

Shit, so...

They're coming in blazing?

- No, they... - Probably.

No. No, they're not, man.

No, they're not. That is not their way.

The Highest is always on mind games, all right?

However he kills us,

there's gonna be a mind game involved.

Hm... What do you think he'll want?

I don't know, man.

I do not know.

[Malcolm whimpers]

[Malcolm starts panting]

Maybe you could fuck him again. He can let us go.

[Malcolm continues panting]

Nah.

I'm pretty sure he's gonna buttfuck you first.

Hello.

Hey.

- Hello. - Hello, Your Highest.

I'm so disappointed in you, Andrew.

I know.

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

You're FBI.

Yes, sir.

But I don't understand. Tell me.

Your Highest, I...

I came here undercover.

To arrest you.

But then, I fell in love.

With you.

With this place.

With your teachings.

He's lying.

I'm not lying, sir.

I believe he's telling the truth.

I am, sir.

[Brian gasps]

And I am so sorry.

How did you feel when I enlightened you?

[Malcolm laughs]

You mean, when you fucked him?

[Malcolm keeps laughing]

[Malcolm grunts]

Nothing.

And do you have an aversion to that?

[kissing sound]

Oh, you like that. I think you like that.

[deep sniff]

[kissing sounds]

[The Highest laughs]

You're quiet.

Take them outside.

[Malcolm grunts]

Ruth!

What?

She didn't get the soda.

- Damn! - [River] I'm sorry

- Shit! - What are you gonna do?

I don't know yet! Shit!

Maybe I can find...

Damn!

- Oh, shit... - What?!

[footsteps]

[River] Here we go...

Ruth.

Yes, Elder Mother?

It is time.

Yes, Elder Mother.

We need you to take this pregnancy test.

Yes, Elder Mother.

No! Duh, duh... Where-Where are you going?

I am going to the outhouse.

Do you have to pee?

Yes.

Do it here.

- Elder Mother... - Squat!

And do it here.

Out in the open?

Just as God intended it.

Okay.

Go.

Okay.

River?

- Yes, Elder Mother? - Get away from here.

Yes.

Yes, Elder Mother.

Do you love me?

Yes, Your Highest.

How much do you love me?

More than anything, Your Highest.

I am so angry with you...

I'm so sorry.

Your Highest.

Stand up.

[Andrew breathes deeply]

[Andrew pants]

[Andrew grunts]

I should take this sword to your head.

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

No, fuck him!

Fuck him! Don't beg to him!

Don't give him that power!

Shut the fuck up, boy.

[The Highest grunts]

[Andrew grunts in pain]

I'm The Highest!

You shouldn't speak that way in front of me!

[Andrew pants]

[The Highest] Andrew...

Get up.

Get up, get up, get up...

- Oh... - Get up!

Boy, get up!

[Andrew pants]

Do you love me?

Do you love me?

More than anything.

- Your Highest. - You lie. You lie.

- No, Your Highest. - Nobody loves me!

I do!

I love you, Your Highest. I do.

- You love me? - Yes, sir.

You love me?

[The Highest clicks tongue]

Okay.

Why don't you prove your love? You want to prove your love?

- I'll do anything, Your Highest. - Anything?

Dikahn, give me that gun.

[The Highest clears his throat]

Okay, there's, uh...

There is one bullet in this gun.

[tense music]

Kill one of them.

Your Highest?

You want back in to the Raku? Show me your love.

[The Highest breathes sharply]

Kill one of them.

Yes, sir.

[whimpers] Oh, God, no...

Good boy.

Go.

Andrew!

You don't have to do this.

[Andrew grunts, gun clicks]

[Brian whimpers]

[The Highest chuckles]

[Brian whimpers and pants]

Whoo!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Andrew, good.

Andrew, what the fuck, man?

Andrew, what the fuck, man?

Shut up! Don't say nothing, man!

Andrew...

[Malcolm grunts]

[guns clicks]

[Malcolm laughs]

[Andrew continues panting]

Andrew...

Andrew!

Look at me!

Please...

Please!

[gun clicks]

[Brian gasps and pants]

[Malcolm] Andrew...

[gun clicks]

[Malcolm sighs and laughs]

Now.

[Brian whispering Lord's Prayer]

[gunshot]

[Dikahn sighs]

That was your first test.

[tense music]

Dikahn.

Send him to the chair.

Yes, Your Highest.

And send River to me now.

Yes, Your Highest.

[music]

River.

Yes?

The Highest wants to see you now.

What?

Yes.

Okay.

[Manny groaning]

[Ruth clears throat]

[Ruth sniffs]

You hold it.

Hold it out in your hand and let me see it.

How long is this going to take?

It'll just take a moment.

You don't seem nervous.

Why would I be?

Because you're not with child.

Well, we'll see in a moment, right?

Yes, we will see.

You're not showing...

Well...

Some.

Don't give me that!

I know when a baby is on the way!

Yes, Elder Mother.

And The Highest...

He's not in a good mood.

Well, you made sure of that.

What?

You gave him something in his food to make him angry.

What are you saying?

I know what you're doing.

You know nothing!

You can hate me all you want,

but I will still be his wife.

And I will still be...

Elder Mother Supreme!

I will always have his heart.

[music]

Why is it taking so long?

Just give it a minute.

Wait...

Look!

You wanted to see me?

[The Highest grunts]

[River breathes sharply]

All I've ever wanted was to be loved.

I do love you, Your Highest!

Oh, yes...

Yes, but you will betray me, like Andrew.

No! No, I won't!

I promise!

Yes, you will.

Don't lie.

Come here.

I'm going to hurt you tonight.

I can't take that tonight!

You don't tell me what you can take.

Your Highest...

Your Highest, please! Please!

Shut up!

You'll take whatever punishment I give to you!

Please... Please!

"Please"? You beg, you beg... But you won't die for me.

I will! I just... I was just...

You were just what?

You wouldn't pull the trigger.

I was worried.

What were you worried about?

[sniffs] Hm...

How long do I have to wait?

What does that mean?

How long do I have to wait to see you

at the gate of the Raku?

[The Highest grunts]

- You lie. - No.

No, Your Highest.

I hate disloyalty.

I understand that,

but I would never be disloyal to you!

But you wouldn't pull the trigger.

Please!

Please!

"Please! Please!"

You... Beg of me! Hm?

Let me get you the magic! Let me get you the magic!

[cries] Let me get you the magic!

[The Highest moans and pants]

I'll get you the magic.

- Are you trying to tempt me? - No!

- Hm... - No, Your Highest.

Yes, I think you are.

No, I just...

I just want you to have the magic.

[The Highest grunts]

Well...

That doesn't disappoint.

Yes.

Yes, Your Highest. May I prepare it?

- Do it. - Yes.

Hurry.

Yes, Your Highest.

Now.

[The Highest pants]

[The Highest moans]

You are the worst.

[River turns on lighter]

I'm sorry.

[The Highest grunts]

How could you not be loyal to me?

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

I am.

[grunting] Don't...

Don't say you're loyal to me!

You have done nothing to prove that!

I'm sorry, Your Highest!

Oh, you have done nothing...

[River] I'm sorry.

Just let me... Let me do this.

Do it.

[grunts] Fuck!

Do it, River!

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

You're sorry?

You're sorry.

You're all sorry.

Oh...

Do it.

Do it, River.

Yes, Your Highest.

Oh...

Hmm...

Yeah, give it to me.

More.

Yes.

Yes, Your Highest.

Rest, now.
