Original subtitles

This motherfucker is creepy. Let's get out of here now!

Previously on Ruthless...

Where's all that shooting coming from?

The shots are coming from up the hill.

Taking the FBI out ain't a part of the mission.

These woods are full of bear traps, booby traps.

Are you guys coming with me or not?

Are you headed back to the compound?

Yes.

There's a man here, says the children are ready.

The children?

- We are... - The Rakudushis!

The Rakudushis!

We are the children of the Raku.

Please, just...

No, stop.

- Please, just let me... - Don't go near the children.

That's my daughter and I just--

You have no daughter.

No, these children belong to the Raku.

I know, but that's my baby and I just...

Oh, for the love of... Obadiah.

Just take them away.

About face.

No. No, Liv, Liv!

- And march. - Can you hear Mommy?

Olivia!

Liv, it's Mommy! Please...

Ruth.

Liv!

Ruth. Ruth.

Yes, Your Highest?

Take care of her.

Yes, Your Highest.

Let's go.

No.

Come on. Let's get up.

Not until I talk to my daughter.

I said, stand up, bitch.

Apologize to The Highest.

- I'm sorry. - I can't hear you.

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

Damn right.

Ruth.

Take her away.

Yes, Your Highest. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

As for the rest of you,

we are fewer in numbers but stronger in faith.

Enough.

But my baby.

Shut up and listen.

The children are back. That's a good thing.

But they've been brainwashed.

I know, and I am going to find a way to fix it.

- How? - I don't know.

But, first, I'm gonna start

by taking them away from that man.

In the meantime, keep your eyes open

and your mouth shut.

See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil.

You got it?

It is faith, not our numbers,

that gives us power.

The night is always darkest before dawn.

And though it may seem as though we are in the midst of darkness,

trust that dawn is on its way.

What is wrong with you?

Sorry.

Why are you laughing?

I don't know. I can't help it.

I will remember the faces that I see before me.

You stood by me during my long night.

And I am grateful.

Let us all celebrate a Raku dawn together!

It's "Brother Obadiah," right?

"Headmaster," actually.

Headmaster? Impressive.

Titles inspire respect.

They do.

What can I do for you, Miss...

"Elder Ruth." Soon to be the wife of The Highest.

Is that right?

Yes.

I hear you also carry his child.

You know more about me than you pretend.

Well, I'm a teacher. I study people.

I see.

Take you, for instance.

You're here on a mission.

What makes you say that?

You came here at dawn.

- I always come here at dawn. - No, you don't.

The Highest expects you to work like other women.

How would you know?

He told me.

Oh, did he?

The Highest and I are very close,

which raises a question.

What do you think he's gonna say when I tell him

that you came here looking for your daughter?

I don't have a daughter.

Of course, my mistake.

These children all belong to The Raku. Hm.

Yes. They do.

Elder Ruth.

A word of teacherly advice.

Enjoy the one you have left.

Dikahn.

Highest, did you sleep?

I have not.

Your Highest.

How can I sleep with everything that's going on?

That is exactly why you need to rest, sir.

I know. I just keep seeing their faces.

George and Lewis.

They are in the punishment trailer.

And what good is punishing them going to do?

We will make them pay a lesson.

- A lesson? - Mm.

A lesson?

We are always making people pay lessons,

but it doesn't work.

Nothing works.

I give them everything and they betray me.

I know.

They put guns to my head.

It's okay, Your Highest.

And now the cartel is back,

looking for Lilo and their money.

And I will kill every last one of them

until there's no one left on this Earth but you and me.

You know I'll do it.

I know.

I'd do anything to protect you.

Dikahn.

Yes, Your Highest?

Will you get me the magic?

Will that help you rest?

Yes.

Then I will.

There you are, finally.

- Stay back. - Why? Why, what's...

Fuck this! Get the fuck... This some bullshit!

Put her in solitary.

Why? You scared I might kill somebody?

- You think that's funny? - Man, fuck you!

Get her out of here now!

- Fuck all y'all. - Now!

Who the hell was that?

Look, it's been a long night.

Yeah, no shit. I've been stuck here for hours,

waiting for news about my wife.

What is going on?

We were hoping to make an arrest,

but the operation was compromised.

Compromised? What do you mean? Did you...

- Look, we're not... - Did you find Laura?

We're not authorized to talk about this, all right?

Yes. We did.

You did? You found my wife? And?

- He has a right to know. - Know what?

As you're aware, uh,

the area around the compound is isolated.

Heavy tree cover, it's dark.

What's that got to do with Laura?

Shots were fired. We don't know by who.

A SWAT team followed protocol and fired back.

In the dark, it's impossible to know

who is armed and who is trying to escape.

I'm sorry. What are you saying?

Several people were killed.

Your wife was one of them.

You bitch.

Hey, watch your mouth.

You had me sitting here, doing nothing.

You promised me that you would get her out of there.

I know and I'm sorry.

You're sorry?

Hey, back the fuck up

or I'll arrest you for assaulting a federal agent.

Stay back!

I hope you both burn in hell.

Brothers and sisters, it's a new day.

There will be no mistakes.

"Yes, Dikahn."

Repeat after me. "Yes, Dikahn."

Yes, Dikahn.

Thank you.

Disloyalty will be paid with death.

Yes, Dikahn.

We live to protect The Highest.

We will work to ensure that this does not happen again.

- Yes, Dikahn. - Thank you.

Continue cleaning up this mess. Get these bodies out of here.

The Highest doesn't need to see this.

What's wrong, Brother Samuel?

I'm sorry, sir.

I can't.

What do you mean you can't?

I can't take the smell of blood.

You've got to be shitting me.

Oh. I think I'm gonna be sick.

The Highest was willing to give his life for you.

I'm so sorry, Dikahn.

I'll do it.

Peter.

Yes, Dikahn.

Where the hell have you been hiding?

In the woods, sir.

Why were you hiding in the woods?

Hm?

I was scared, sir.

What were you scared of?

I failed The Highest

and I tried to escape punishment.

But once I left,

I realized I couldn't bear to be away from him.

I see.

You sure you weren't just camping in the woods

because you had no place else to go?

No, Dikahn.

I was waiting for an opportunity to prove myself.

And I found one.

I shot a traitor.

That was you?

Yes.

And I would kill 1,000 more to protect The Highest.

You hear that, men?

This is a soldier!

You are forgiven, Peter.

Thank you, Dikahn.

Continue helping them clean up this mess.

Yes, Dikahn.

Brother Samuel, get the hell out of my sight.

Embarrassing.

Yes, sir. Yes, it is.

We lost too many men. I need people to step up.

I can do that, sir.

Really? Can you?

The traitors made me feel the wrath of The Raku.

I wanna serve The Highest any way I can.

River.

You need help, Sister Zane?

Yes, please. Thank you.

What's going on?

Have you seen Lacey?

She should be in the kitchen.

She's not. I checked.

- Did you check the outhouse? - Yes.

She's not there either.

I'm sure she's fine.

I don't know.

She was acting really weird

like she was losing her mind or something.

I know the feeling.

- River. - What?

At least you guys got to rely on Ruth to get in.

Me and Joan had to rely on Manny.

Think he's gonna snitch?

A hundred fucking percent.

I just got to get in good with The Highest

before that happens.

God, I thought we were done with this shit.

Hey, look, you got this, okay?

We are gonna make it out of here.

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

I'm serious.

Mm-hmm.

River, you have to believe it or it won't happen.

Fine. I believe it now.

- Happy? - Yes.

Sort of.

Hey, how's Joan doing?

Not good.

What do you mean?

Elder Mother tried to stop the bleeding with dirt.

Jesus Christ.

I think it got infected.

She's barely ever conscious.

Shit.

I know.

I know, but she's gonna be okay. We're gonna be okay.

You know, for a second there,

I really thought we were gonna make it.

I know.

I could taste the freedom.

Me too.

It was like cotton candy.

And two all-beef burgers on a sesame seed bun.

And chocolate milkshakes.

And tater tots?

Oh, tater tots.

I'll let you know if Joan wakes up.

I'll let you know if I find Lacey.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

And River?

We're all gonna make it.

Yes. We will.

Where is everyone?

Ma'am?

There were people here, injured.

What happened to them?

They were relocated, Elder Ruth.

What? Why?

Dikahn's orders.

They were moved to the woods so The Highest

didn't have to suffer the pain of seeing them.

I need to speak with him.

The Highest?

No, Dikahn.

Of course I'm talking about The Highest.

Yes, Elder Ruth. Are you approved?

Excuse me?

Dikahn said no one can enter without prior approval.

Uh-uh, you know what?

Peter. "Peter? Brother Peter?"

- Is that your name? - Yes.

Get out of my way. Move out of my way.

Ruth.

Yes, Your Highest?

I was just thinking about you.

What a coincidence. I was just thinking about you.

I had the most fascinating conversation with Obadiah.

Obadiah, the Headmaster?

Yes. Yes, he just left.

He told me he saw you at the playground.

Care to explain?

I guess I just had to see it for myself, Your Highest.

See what?

How he does it.

With the children.

They are completely changed.

They have, haven't they?

They used to be selfish and defiant,

and now they're perfect.

And you wanted to see how it was done?

Yes, Your Highest.

Come with me.

Where to, Your Highest?

I wanna show you something.

Come.

Yes. Yes, Your Highest.

Come.

The Raku is joy.

The Raku is love.

This is how we do it.

So how we feeling?

Like shit, Your Highest.

What seems to be the trouble?

First of all, my wrists are killing me.

Sorry to hear that.

Mm-hmm. Second of all, how come we're locked up

and she gets to run around free?

Well, Ruth doesn't need reprogramming.

The fuck is reprogramming?

Is that what you call this shit with the videos?

Yes.

We can't afford to lose any more men,

so instead of killing you like you deserve,

we are going to teach you how to be perfect.

Just like Obadiah did with the children.

Brainwashing.

No, no. No, no.

Teaching.

This, mm, this is going to help with your education.

What is it?

Oh, just wait. You're gonna learn to love it.

It's Don Giovanni by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Please, no!

Wait, wait, wait,

I can't hear it over all this complaining.

Let me turn it up.

It's about the story of a sinner

who got what he deserved.

Please! No!

I had it hooked up to speakers

so we can listen all over the compound.

The hell is that?

What's what, Elder Mother?

Don't give me that, girl. You know what I'm talking about.

You mean the music?

Of course I mean the music.

Sorry, I barely hear it.

How could you not notice when it's screaming in me head?

I can barely hear it, Elder Mother.

Then you must be going deaf, then.

I don't think so.

Look at Alex. She can't hear it either.

Of course she can't. The girl has lost her mind.

Elder Mother, have you ever had a migraine?

No.

I remember reading about them.

You can't trust what you read.

I know, but I remember they said

migraines can be triggered by stress

and lack of sleep.

Oh, really?

They can also make you sensitive to sound.

Now that you mention it,

I do remember learning that in my training.

Maybe you should go lie down.

I don't want to go lie down.

But if you're having a migraine...

I don't care.

I'd rather stay here and die.

It's only a headache, Elder Mother.

I know.

You work so hard.

Alex and I can keep an eye on things.

You promise you'll wake me if anyone dies?

I will, Elder Mother.

You sure?

I promise.

Hi.

Brother.

I didn't know you were back.

Well, now you do.

It's good to see you.

I didn't know if I was gonna se you again.

River. Stop.

Why? What's wrong?

I can't be seen talking to you.

What? Why not?

You know why not.

No. I don't.

Last thing I remember,

you tried to escape the punishment trailer

and tried to take me with you.

If anything, I shouldn't be talking to you.

- That's a lie. - Actually, it's a fact.

I didn't run.

You tricked me.

I tricked you?

Yeah, you bewitched me or something.

Right, me and my witchy ways.

- Get away from me! - Okay.

Okay, calm down.

And stay away from The Highest.

Giving good head doesn't make me a witch, you know?

Is there a problem here?

Nope. No problem at all.

River was trying to force his way

into The Highest's trailer.

- What? - Was he?

Yes, Dikahn.

He was using his witchy ways to work his way in.

Thank you, Peter.

We'll take it from here.

Oh, come on, that's ridiculous.

Is it?

Peter has a gun.

What do I look like, trying to force my way past him?

The Highest was almost killed.

We take his protection very seriously.

As do I.

Where were you?

At the pavilion.

And then?

And then I ran into the woods.

To do what?

I don't know.

When The Highest was taken, I panicked, so I ran.

You abandoned him.

No, I would never.

You saw him kidnapped at gunpoint.

And then you ran for your life.

You ran for your life. You were trying to escape.

I was trying to help.

I just didn't know how.

And by the time I could figure it out, the fighting was over.

I think he's telling the truth.

You think?

I found him with Sister Joan

after she fell into the trap.

He was trying to help her get up and fight.

Manny, if you want to serve The Highest,

there's one thing you should know.

His power attracts parasites.

It is our job

to find these parasites and burn them

like the blood-sucking ticks they are.

Yes, Dikahn.

We now come to a key passage.

Don Giovanni, believing his sins would go unpunished,

invites the statue to dinner.

The statue appears,

giving Don Giovanni a chance to repent.

When he refuses, demons show up

and drag him to hell.

- Your Highest... - This is the best part.

I need to speak with you, Your Highest.

What is it?

I'm not sure that the Headmaster's tactics apply

to your people.

What do you mean?

George and Lewis deserve this,

but the people that fought for you,

they do not deserve this.

This is the best opera ever written.

Yes, Your Highest, but it's sending out the wrong message.

Your people who are wounded and dying

do not deserve this, Your Highest.

What people?

Dikahn sent them away so you wouldn't have to see them.

Now they're in the back of the camp, hearing a song

about being dragged to hell.

Take me to them.

- Yes, Your Highest. - Quickly.

Can we turn the music off, Your Highest?

Yeah. Fine.

Maybe we should put the video back on

to keep their minds going.

Good point.

I'm gonna kill that bitch.

Kill that bitch.

I see you're out of solitary confinement.

Yeah. You know I ate out the guard.

Good behavior.

You know there's a bench there?

Yeah, well, I'm fucking hungry.

Like hombre, where's the food? Where's the gourmida?

Still? I thought you said you ate out the guard.

Yo, who's mans is this?

We'll get you some food.

We just wanna ask you a few questions first.

Oh, am I in trouble?

Tell us your name.

Keys.

She means your real name.

That is my real name.

What were you doing at the compound, Keys?

What compound?

Who were the men you were with?

you know, when my blood sugar is low,

I get so confused, I don't remember nothing.

This is a waste of time.

What if we all eat, all of us?

That's a good idea.

How about we bring in lunch, and you talk while we eat?

- Do I get to pick where we eat? - Sure.

What would you like?

Okay, so I would like a New York steak,

nice, big, fat rare.

And you two could eat .

And what's that?

School your boy.

I want my steak! Let's go!

Fucking punk, man.

She's just trying to rattle us.

Yeah, well, she succeeded.

She's fucking killed one of our men.

And we'll take her down, but we need her help first.

For what?

This is no longer a conflict

between Tyrone Luckett and the FBI.

There's a third party involved.

Exactly, so let's charge her and ship her ass to DC.

It's not just her, Kal.

We need her to identify the men that she's with

and tell us what they want.

She's never gonna do that.

Well, then we make her wait.

Get her prints and run a background check.

That could take days.

Well, then she can sit in her cell

and think about her future.

Fuck.

I really thought we had him.

Yeah. Me too.

Now he's up there, celebrating, coke bender, orgies.

I don't think so.

Luckett's losing control.

His members turned on him. Keys people showed up.

Whatever it is they want, he knows,

and I bet it's scaring the living shit out of him.

So he's vulnerable.

We should take advantage, go all in,

multiple strike teams, air support...

No.

We have choppers on standby, minutes away.

If I'm right about Luckett's state of mind,

sending them in would be a huge mistake.

But we have another option.

Which is?

Send a negotiator.

- Who? - Me.

- No. No. No fucking way. - Kal...

That is not your call to make.

The last three agents who went in there were tortured.

Two of them were killed.

Well, I'm not them.

Are you all right, Your Highest?

Yes.

Yes, it's just that, uh, the smell.

I understand.

Why did you bring me here?

You asked me to, Your Highest.

I think I made a mistake.

But you never make mistakes.

Yes, you're right.

You must've known your people needed you.

How is it you always know exactly the right thing to say?

I don't know.

It must be because of my love for you.

Lots of people love me.

Like Headmaster Obadiah?

No. No.

No?

No. Obadiah...

Doesn't love you?

It's complicated.

What do you mean?

Your Highest.

- Yes. - Forgive me.

I know I shouldn't approach you, but...

What do you want?

When you were taken, we saw people in the woods with guns.

They are all trying to destroy us.

One of them shot my sister, Angeline.

I'm so sorry, my child.

Will you heal her, Your Highest?

- Heal her? - Please?

I saw you heal people online before I came here and...

The Highest has many people to attend to.

- He doesn't have time... - How dare you?

I'm The Highest. I decide who I have time for.

Forgive me, Your Highest.

Where is she?

Over here. I can show you...

No, bring her to the pavilion.

Have some women prepare the altar.

See her there.

And, Ruth...

Yes, Your Highest?

Don't ever come between me and my people ever again.

Yes, Your Highest.

Any movement?

No, ma'am. No one's been in or out here all day.

Thanks, Coolidge.

You don't have to do this.

I know.

What if it gets to you?

Are you worried I'll convert?

I'm worried he'll see a strong and beautiful woman

he can't control and lose his shit.

I'll be fine. I'll keep you posted.

This is Agent Dennis. I need a favor.

What the hell is going on here?

He's going to heal her.

What?

Yes.

That's not happening.

Well, he says it is.

Ruth, this woman is barely breathing.

Well?

How did this happen?

I don't know. She, she approached him.

Where?

In the back of the camp.

How did The Highest get to the back of the camp?

I was trying to get him out of the punishment trailer.

Ruth, there is a reason

I had the wounded cleared from around his trailer.

The Highest is in a volatile place.

Now you tell me?

And for whatever reason he can't heal this woman,

he's gonna lose his fucking shit.

But what am I supposed to do, Dikahn?

Your problem. Clean it up.

Okay...

Your Highest. I love you so much.

Ruth.

You don't have to do this.

This woman was dead before they put her on the altar.

They're trying to trick you.

You don't think I can do this.

- I just... - Get off me.

For those with ears, let them hear me now.

Sister Angeline should never have been where she was.

A woman taking up arms.

But because of that love,

that faith, that sacrifice,

she will be healed.

As I stand before you,

filled with the power of The Raku.

I command you at to be healed.

I said heal, Sister Angeline.

Cast the evil of pain away from you.

And let yourself be filled

with the life of The Raku.

I command you, heal, Sister Angeline!

Heal!

What is that?

It's a helicopter, Your Highest.

I think the FBI is back, sir.

What should we do?

It is a sign.

We must all go to The Raku.

Shit.

This is Agent Walton. Come back.

This is Agent Dennis.

Kal, who authorized this?

I did, Agent Walton.

I told you, no air support.

They're just there to ensure your safety.

Fuck my safety.

You might've just sentenced a bunch of children to death.

Ooh.

Happy days are here again.

Take as many as you can.

Go on!

What are you waiting for? Go, go, go!

I knew this would happen.

That's why I saved them from the last time

just in case.

You're so wise, Elder Mother.

What are you waiting for?

I'm sorry. I'm confused. Does everybody get them?

What do you mean?

I mean, like, George and Lewis in the punishment trailer.

Huh. They can burn in hell.

These are for the children of The Raku only.

And this...

this is for The Highest.

Oh, he'll be so pleased.

I see.

Ooh.

I forgot.

Elder Mother, I can do that.

- Are you sure? - Yes, Elder Mother.

The Highest needs his cup.

Okay, well, be quick.

I will.

This is it.

We have been given the signs, my children.

The great betrayal. Death of the innocent!

The Raku is calling.

I can hear the song of The Raku.

They want to destroy us, but they will not.

- Callie. Callie. - They cannot.

They will find only the clothes that we shed.

My name is Ruby.

These bodies, these filthy, weak bodies

that defile our soul.

Bring me the cup.

I've got nothing but love for you.
