We are the children of the Raku!

Previously onRuthless.

The cartel is back,

looking for Lilo and their money?

Several people were killed. Your wife was one of them.

I hope you both burn in hell.

- How's Joan doing? - Elder Mother tried to

stop the bleeding with dirt, it got infected.

is losing control.

We should take advantage.

Go all in, multiple strike teams.

But we have another option: send a negotiator.

Me.

One of them shot my sister. Will you heal her, Your Highest?

Heal Sister Angeline!

The FBI is back, sir.

We must all go to the Raku.

No, stop! Stop!

Ruth!

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

You defied my will!

No, Your Highest!

- But our son... - Will join us at the Raku.

Yes, Your Highest, he will one day.

But not today.

What are you saying?

Your son has a prophecy.

The Raku is not calling us home.

Blasphemy!

The Highest knows the day and the hour of our transition.

And if he said it is now, so be it!

Ruth, you're tellin' a lie, and you know it!

Just shut up, shut up, shut up!

Shut up, bitch.

Ruth...

Your Highest, Elder Mother does not speak for the Raku.

Neither do you.

Yes, Your Highest, but our son does.

No, no, no, no, the time is at hand.

. Ruth, sit, now.

Not until you listen.

Brother Manny.

Yes, Your Highest?

Fire your gun into the air.

Good.

Now, aim your gun at Ruth.

Your, Your Highest?

Is there a problem?

No, no, no, Your Highest.

Go ahead.

Ruth, I will not ask you again.

Sit!

Or you will suffer the wrath of the Raku.

Forgive me, Your Highest. I meant no disrespect.

And now...

We will answer the call of the Raku.

For the Raku will free us

from the shackles of this cruel world.

So, do not be afraid,

for we are going to a better place.

Together, with the Raku.

Ruth!

Now what is going on?

Your son...

He will not be ignored.

He must share the word of the Raku.

Ruth, I am The Highest. I alone hear from the divine.

Yes, Your Highest.

Then how can this be?

He is your pure seed.

He is you, and you are him.

That is why you named him One. He hears because you hear.

The Raku has revealed nothing.

Your son says he has, Your Highest.

You were just unable to receive it.

The Highest is perfect.

He knows all, hears all, and sees all.

Explain yourself, Ruth.

Elder Mother is right, Your Highest.

You are perfect, but you're also distracted.

Distracted?

Well, you're carrying so much on your shoulders.

That is why you needed your son to hear,

so you can direct your focus elsewhere.

You know not what you speak.

You are powerful beyond measure.

It is what has enabled you to live for many years.

The same power that flows through you

flows through your son as well.

He is an extension of your purpose and will.

What is it that the Raku has told you?

That the Raku is merciful, Your Highest.

That the trials that we have faced are by his design,

not to bring us to the Raku,

but to expose those who were trying to

conspire against you.

How so?

The traitors rose up against you and were defeated.

The evil government tried to hide in the shadows,

and their schemes were brought to the light.

None of this would've been possible

if the Raku hadn't allowed everything to unfold

the way that it did.

The Raku has truly protected us,

and he will continue to protect us from the days to come.

What are you saying, Ruth?

The Raku wants us to stand up

against the evil government and fight.

No.

The evil government will kill us...

- No! - And take the children.

No, no, Your Highest. Your son has seen it.

If you lead us against them, we will overcome them.

And then, after that,

your third eye will lead us to our new sacred land.

- That heaven is lost to us. - No, Your Highest.

That heaven was the one that the Raku needed you to see.

It was not our true home, it was only temporary.

Are you saying the Raku has deceived me?

No, but he would not allow the children

to fall into the hands of the evil government.

And look, the children are with us, safe.

Yes.

The evil government would have found them.

They're crafty, Your Highest.

They have resources and technology

to exploit our past lives.

The Raku will not stand for this.

But the enemy is at our gates.

- They are. - Ready to barge in at any time.

Let them, Your Highest.

You will wield your mighty sword and strike down all those

who are stupid enough to challenge the Raku.

Brother Dikahn, will you not fight for the Raku?

With my dying breath, Your Highest.

And what about you, Sister? Will you not fight for the Raku?

Yes, at any cost.

And what about you, Brother River?

I will sacrifice everything for the Raku.

And what about you all? Will you not fight for the Raku?

Yes, yes, yes!

See anything?

A couple of guards.

Not a whole lotta jack shit else.

Shit.

We need to know what the fuck is goin' on in there.

The siren can't be good.

Well, neither was a fucking helicopter flying overhead.

Coolidge, please tell me you see something.

No movement.

They're still pretty deep in there, ma'am.

Shit.

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Settle down.

You see, Your Highest?

We are willing to fight for the Raku,

because we are chosen.

And when you are chosen, you are...

You are protected.

You remembered.

Every blessed word that comes from your lips.

Come here.

Yes, Your Highest?

Tell me, my son...

What else does he say?

The Raku is calling for us to change.

It's the only way we'll survive this war.

Everyone will need to be flexible and do more,

starting with the women.

They will need to be trained in combat.

That is not the Raku way.

We are fewer, Your Highest.

Who will protect the children should the men fall?

We will not fall.

I believe you won't.

But we still must be prepared for anything.

Your Highest...

We'll consider it.

There's also a matter of the wounded, Your Highest.

The wounded?

Yes, those who are still able to fight must be treated

and made ready.

Elder Mother is already tending to the wounded.

She is, Your Highest, and she is doing a wonderful job.

But as you can see, Your Highest,

the need is great and time is of the essence.

That is why the Raku has deemed that

the Elder Mother should relinquish her kitchen duties.

No!

So that she may focus on healing the wounded

and strengthening our forces.

Your Highest...

No!

It is not personal, Your Highest.

Sacrifices must be made.

But who will run the kitchen?

I will, Your Highest.

No. No, Your Highest.

Please, no.

It is the will of the Raku.

This is a high calling, Supreme Mother.

I'm sure you will rise to the occasion

on the will of the Raku.

Yes, I will.

- Then it's settled. - But...

Elder Mother, you will stay in the infirmary.

Mm.

Elder Mother Ruth, go in the kitchen for now.

Yes, Your Highest.

The Raku have revealed much.

We are indeed at war with all that hate the Raku.

I hoped to shield you from this, my children.

But here we are.

We will not be joining the Raku today.

Instead, we will stay and fight.

Power of the Raku.

Elder Mother Ruth.

Yes?

You are truly an incredible soul.

Purified by the Raku,

transformed by the pure seed that lives within you.

You're more than just my wife-to-be.

I can see that now. Clearly as I can see all of you.

Your Highest.

You, me, our son...

The holy trinity of the Raku.

You truly have become my Agbara.

It means my, my strength, my power.

I am better because of you, Your Highest.

And I could've killed you, Ruth.

You and our son.

You didn't.

I am not the benevolent king I desire to be.

You are a great man, Your Highest.

More importantly, a benevolent king.

Not a man of measure, right?

Sometimes. That's why you have us.

Yes. Yes, that's right.

It's been a long day, Your Highest.

I can see you're really tired.

I am not tired.

Maybe some meditation, then, to calm your spirit.

I can see you're still very troubled.

Of course I am.

How can I rest with the enemy at the gates?

Even the Highest needs his rest.

Tell me.

Tell you what, Your Highest?

How can I overcome them?

The government?

Yes.

I don't know, Your Highest.

What? I know you don't. What's our son say?

I mean, I don't know, because he has not revealed it.

But you...

You said that he, you said he saw it.

Yes, but just that you will lead us to victory.

Not how.

But you are The Highest,

and in time, the Raku will reveal his plan.

Of course he will.

Does this conversation bore you, Ruth?

No, not at all, Your Highest.

Our son is just strong, and I am only a woman.

His prophecy took a lot out of me.

I see.

May we continue this later?

Yes, of course.

I love you so much.

Shit.

Let's get some shots of the compound.

That barbed wire, those guards, and some shots at the FBI, okay?

Aye-aye.

Mariah.

You can't be here.

And you are?

Agent Desiree Walton.

Wonderful.

Do you mind if we get an interview, Agent?

This is a very sensitive situation,

and the last thing I need is

an overzealous news reporter mucking it up.

It's just a few softball questions, I promise.

No comment.

Is that the official statement from the FBI

in regards to the cult group known as the Rakudushis?

What about the death of Laura Pollen?

You know her, right?

Aaron Pollen was her husband, Senator Pollen's son?

He provided us with some interesting information

regarding the Rakudushis and you,

but I would love to get your side of the story.

This is a no-fly zone. Keep it that way.

I think you upset her.

I think I'm about to win a Pulitzer.

Come on.

What the fuck? I want my steak!

Glitch, where the fuck are you?

Set the trays on the table.

Let Ruth take care of 'em, that evil witch.

- Yes, Elder Mother. - Yes, Elder Mother.

Since she know I am the only one that cooks for The Highest.

She'll be beggin' for my help. Just wait and see.

Give me that darlin' thing.

You two will run to the infirmary.

I'll be there.

Elder Mother?

Oh, darling, I, I, I have to clean the Highest's chalice.

He'll be so pleased.

Let me help you with that.

Oh no, darling, I, I'm fine.

I'd just like a moment to myself.

I want to say goodbye...

...to the kitchen.

Of course, Elder Mother.

Run along, now.

We'll just see how far Ruth gets along without me.

And the Oscar for best actress goes to Ruth Truesdale!

Wanna say that a little louder?

Sorry.

That was just quite the performance.

You almost convinced me for a second there.

Well, I'm glad you're impressed.

But I was actually headed somewhere.

Ooh, where are you off to in such a hurry?

Well, fine, at least tell me that The Highest

bought your performance.

We're still alive, aren't we?

For now.

Worry about one thing at a time.

That's how we survive.

Seriously?

Sorry, you obviously have somewhere very important...

Then why are you in my way?

I just need to talk to you real quick.

We'll talk later.

No, Ruth.

Please.

Fine.

What is it?

It's this fucking place, Ruth.

I don't know how much more of this I can take.

You almost died! I mean, how fucked up is that?!

Lower your voice.

I'm just saying.

Look, you're okay.

- We're all okay. - No.

No, we are not okay! Joan's a mess!

God only knows if she's gonna make it.

We don't have access to the money.

- Listen... - Not that any of that matters

because we got fucking FBI!

Okay! Listen to me.

You need to keep your shit together.

- How? - I don't know!

But you need to figure it out.

There's something else, isn't there?

What is it?

It's Dikahn.

What about him?

He thinks I tried to escape.

What?

And you're just now telling me this now?

I didn't think it was a big deal

'cause he didn't have any actual proof.

But?

You know how he is!

He's like a fucking dog with a bone,

and he promised to make my life a living hell.

Shit.

Between him and Manny...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Manny?

Damn it, River!

I didn't ask for any of this shit.

But somehow, you always find yourself neck-deep in it.

Fuck!

Look, can you help me?

What am I supposed to do?

I don't know!

You're the one in that God Mode status!

Have your holy son have a sacred prophecy,

and get those two off my ass!

Now, I know you can't be that stupid.

I can't just go around here settling people's disagreements

without raising suspicion.

What about the kitchen?

That was for all of us!

Is there something you can do?

No, I can't.

Not right now, it's too risky.

Ruth, Ruth, please.

- No, no, I gotta go. - Ruth, just...

Fuck!

Ow!

And how is this one doing?

- Zane! - Yes, Elder Mother?

What was that?

Where is your head, girl?!

Do I have to do everything myself?!

No, Elder Mother.

It's just been a long day.

You mean a disappointin' day.

We should be with the Raku right now.

Yes. That's what I meant.

Well, I can understand that. Move aside, let me see her.

Ooh, her temperature's risin' again.

Give me that bowl right there.

What is this?

Elderberry. It will help with the fever.

Elder Mother, would it be okay if I use the bathroom?

Just don't leave me too long.

With that one over there,

I may end up slappin' her in the face.

I won't be long. Promise.

Dikahn.

Your Highest.

I just wanted to check on you and make sure you're okay.

You okay?

- Okay, okay? - Yeah.

How can I be okay when the evil government

is outside of our gate,

ready to barge in and kill us at any moment?

And that's if the cartel doesn't do it first.

The Rakumas will protect us, Your Highest.

How, Dikahn? Hm?

It's not like they're just going to go away.

No, they're not.

Then how? I don't see it.

The FBI has Andrew,

which means they probably know about Agent Brian and his wife.

You think Andrew spoke?

I think the evil government is crafty,

and they'll do anything to stop us.

Whatever they try, we will be ready.

I'm not goin' back.

I know, Your Highest.

I mean it, Dikahn.

Whether in this life or with the Rakumas,

my place is always by your side.

You truly are my trusted one.

Your one and only.

There's my little jealous one.

I, I'm sorry Your Highest, that's not what I mean.

And here I thought you learned the value of sharing.

I'll always do as you desire, Your Highest.

Yes.

But...

I'll always desire to have you all to myself.

Yes, well, these are unprecedented times.

I feel...

What?

Unbalanced.

What can I do to help, Your Highest?

Tell me the soldiers are ready. Tell me they would die for me.

They are, and they will.

There can be no mistakes.

There will be none.

I wanna know everything, no matter how minor.

Nothing will be hidden from you, Your Highest.

You have my word.

What about the others?

Others, Your Highest?

Sister Mary and the like.

You saw what she did.

Asking me to heal her sister?

Does she not understand the extreme pressure I'm under?

She is ungrateful.

And the looks I received, as if I had failed.

How dare they embarrass me like that?

Sister Angeline should never have left

the safety of the compound.

You and the men had everything in hand, if she died...

...it's because the Raku wanted it so.

Yes, indeed.

Some time in the punishment trailer

- will help Sister Mary... - No.

- ...remember. - No, no, she is weak!

She is weak! She is unworthy.

I could crush them with my bare hands, if I wanted to.

Yes, you could, Your Highest.

Have I not given them plenty? Have I not been merciful?

You need only ask,

and I will make them regret their offense.

Bring me Sister Mary.

And we'll kill her first.

Kill everyone who looked at me that way.

Lacey, thank God I found you!

Why'd you run back into the woods?

No worries.

No pain.

Hey, Lacey, look, I, I don't have long.

Elder Mother is gonna looking for me if I don't get back soon.

I don't know what's going on with you,

but I need you to snap out of it, okay?

The Raku...

Bright light...

Can you see it?

Lacey...

Lacey, do you even know what was about to happen?

What's going on now?

"Fire and blood"...

...they all will cry...

...the day we sing...

...the day we die.

Hey, Lacey.

Lacey, please, okay?

I could really use a friend right now.

River's...

I, I don't know.

Joan's still banged up,

Ruth's preoccupied with her own stuff.

I just feel alone.

Do you understand?

We are all going to die!

Glory be to the Raku.

For the end is nigh.

Well?

What are you waiting for?

Your Highest...

What?

I know you're upset, but...

It may not be wise to kill any members until after

we're out of our current predicament.

They still could be of some use to us.

Fuck, you're right!

Fuck!

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

Can I at least kill Sister Mary?

It might not be ideal, sir. Just not, not now.

You know, optics.

Well...

I have to do something.

May I offer a suggestion, sir?

Let me call for River.

You enjoy his company.

Perhaps he can help you relieve some of that rage.

I just want to see you at peace, if only for a little bit.

River? Really?

If that pleases you, Your Highest, yes.

Yes.

It does.

Send for him.

Alright, will do.

And Dikahn...

Yes, Your Highest?

One more thing.

Can't kill the living, but fine.

But there will be a punishment.

I'll take Sister Mary to the trailer personally.

No, no. I've got a better idea.

Hm?

The living will live,

but I can't have another Sister Angeline problem.

Of course not, Your Highest.

So, go to Elder Mother,

find out which of our little prisoners

are at the point of no return...

And put a fucking bullet in their head.

Your Highest...

We are showing mercy, they won't survive anyway.

And I won't be disrespected like that again.

Are you sure, Your Highest?

They are of no use to the Raku, why waste the resources?

I have to much else to fucking worry about

to heal all of them.

- That is true. - Great.

So, I don't know how you have to spin it, spin it.

You and Elder Mother.

I need you to handle this.

I will, Your Highest.

Great. Go on.

And send River.

- Ruth. - Zane,

what were you doing in that trailer?

Lacey's in there.

Okay.

How's she doing?

I'm really worried about her.

Maybe there's something in the kitchen can help her?

Maybe.

Can we check? Please?

Fine, I will.

But I need something from you.

Okay.

You are the only one I can trust around here right now.

What is it?

I'm gonna have The Highest appoint you

to an apprentice to Headmaster Obadiah.

What?

Why?

Because, Zane, I need someone to keep an eye on Callie.

I don't trust that guy.

So, you're putting me in harm's way?

We both know you can handle yourself.

Also, I just need you to give me updates,

just to keep a close eye on her.

Okay?

You shouldn't be in any danger.

- Famous last words. - Zane!

Please?

I don't have anybody else.

Okay.

Okay, fine, I'll do it.

Thank you.

Wait, what if The Highest doesn't agree to

make me an apprentice?

You let me worry about that.

Okay.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Lord, that was some crazy shit out there, huh?

Which part?

Right, true that.

You know, there's rumors that

those guys in the woods were cartel.

Nah, nothin' we need to worry about.

You actually believe that?

No.

But worrying's a surefire way to get yourself killed, so...

chill the fuck out and do your job.

Manny.

Yes, Dikahn?

I have something I could use your help with.

Anything you need, sir.

That's the right attitude.

River, River, River.

What is it, Dikahn?

Did I wake you?

No.

No, no, I was just...

What can I do for you?

Hm-mm, The Highest asked me to fetch you.

Did he?

Like, right now?

Oh, you don't seem too happy about that.

I, I am.

I just thought that he might be resting.

Mm...

You're a pathetic little liar, aren't you?

Well, doesn't matter either way.

He wants you, and he's in a truly foul mood.

Yes, well, it has been a trying couple of days.

Mm, that it has.

Mm, I can't wait to find out all the wicked little things

he'll do to your bitch ass.

Usually that would get me upset, but not today.

This is Agent Desiree Walton, FBI.

Hello?

Hello?

Come.

Don't wanna keep The Highest waiting, do we?

I have to put on my shirt, Brother.

Need to get that?

Shut up.

Chop-chop, boy!

I do not talk to the FBI.

Then I'll talk, you listen.

There's no getting out of this, you have to know that.

You killed a federal agent.

And you killed children of the Raku.

I hope you don't mean that literally.

What do you want?

To resolve this without any further loss of life.

Can we do that?

Fine, we'll start small.

The siren we heard, what was that about?

Is everyone alright in there?

Come on, work with me.

I'm trying to keep you alive.

What's going on here?

None of your business, Anthony. What are you doing here?

Lightening your load, Marva.

You two.

Get out.

Go.

Does The Highest know about this?

He has commanded it.

So...

Which one of these are past their expiration date, hm?

How about this one?

Hm? Or what about this one?

Speak, woman!

There.

Who else, hm?

How about her?

No, no.

Then who?

There.

Manny.

Manny!

I gotta get outta here. I gotta get outta here!

Zane, what is happening?!

They're killing them.

What? Who's killing who?

Dikahn and Manny.

They're killing them.
