The Raku is not calling us home.

Blasphemy!

Previously onRuthless...

The evil government is outside of our gates ready to barge in

and kill us at any moment. I wanna know everything.

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

Let me call for River.

Perhaps he can help you relieve some of that rage.

- This is Agent Desiree Walton. - What do you want?

Find out which of our prisoners are at the point of no return.

Put a bullet in their head.

- What is happening? - They're killing them.

What have you done?

You're not supposed to be in here.

What have you done?

Ruth, you need to get out of here. Now.

Manny.

Get her out of here.

You heard Dikahn. You gotta go.

Ruth, please. I do not wanna hurt you.

Let's go.

Ruth, isn't it wonderful?

The Raku is truly merciful.

Well, it's quite the mess you made, Anthony.

I hope you plan on cleaning it up.

No. I don't.

- What the fuck was that? - You think I know?

Did The Highest order this?

Yeah. Yeah, he did.

What the hell?

Look, I need you to stay here, okay? For you own good.

Respectfully.

I am going to find out.

I know.

- Ruth, what the fuck? - I know.

Not the time or the place, okay?

Good.

Now, where was Alex headed?

I don't know. She just ran off.

- Shit. - What?

- No. I gotta go. - Where?

Just wait here.

The Highest would like to see me.

Fuck you.

Okay. [laughs] You hate me. I get it loud and clear.

Um, but The Highest sent for me,

so would you like to explain to him why I took long?

Thank you.

You wanna know what I wished for tonight?

I wished that you had drank that punch

and gone straight to hell.

Your Highest?

River. Where have you been?

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

Um, I came as soon as I could, but there was so much commotion

with the gunfire.

Well, you don't have to worry about that.

You're safe in here.

I'm glad.

What can I do for you?

Get undressed.

Yes. Your Highest.

Will you do anything for me?

Of course, Your Highest.

Even if I hurt you?

I will savor every second of it.

Really?

"Heavy is the head that wears the crown." William Shakespeare.

Yes.

I understand,

so if me offering myself helps with that load,

then here I am.

Do with me as you wish, Your Highest.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

- Get t--get out of my way, Ruth. - No.

Ruth, I'm getting my child

and I'm getting the fuck out of this place.

You're scared. I get that.

You want your daughter back. I get that, too.

But I need you to think. Really think.

How is this going to play out?

Say you manage to go in there and get your daughter. Fine.

Then what? You just walk out of the compound?

They don't have many guns,

but they clearly still have guns.

And they will shoot you and Olivia without a second thought.

They killed those people.

But that doesn't mean you have to die, too.

Come on.

Alex, the last thing that you want is somebody

to walk by and see you holding this.

Think about your daughter. Give me the axe, please.

- Give me the axe. - And do what?

Do what? Figure something out. Together.

Me and you. Please. Alex, please.

Give me the axe. Give me the axe, Alex.

Please. Come on. Give it to me.

- Come on. - Fuck!

Very good.

Good. Let's go.

- Ruth. - Let's go.

Gather some men and take care of those bodies.

- Yes, Dikahn. - And get back to your post.

Yes, Dikahn.

If anyone asks,

tell them The Raku spared the dead any more suffering.

Yes, Dikahn.

And Manny. Next time I tell you to shoot, you shoot.

- Yes, Dikahn. - Go.

Listen up.

I know you're scared and confused,

but I assure you this was the will of The Raku.

Our brothers and sisters are with the Rakumas now.

No longer burned by the suffering of this war.

They are happy and free.

One day we will join them.

And as for the others, they will heal

and return to us stronger than ever.

So go. Rest. It's been a long day.

Sister Zane.

Yes, Dikahn.

Where is Ruth?

Come on.

Hey--

It took you long enough.

Well, I told you I was gonna milk it, didn't I?

So what's going on out there?

Well, I overheard them talking when I was in the bathroom.

They definitely arrested somebody.

What? A Rakudushi?

Hell no. Way worse than that.

Well, are you going to share with the rest of the class?

They locked up somebody from the cartel.

You're fuckin' shitting me?

Yeah. I heard them talking. How much you wanna bet

it got something to do with that fucking Lilo character?

- What else did you hear? - That's it.

I mean, I told you I was milking it,

so when I came out of the bathroom,

the rest of the agents were already gone.

- Fuck me. - Yeah.

And here we were thinking that the feds screwing the pooch

with the Rakudushis was bad enough.

Right. I'm telling you now, if they killed somebody

from the cartel, it's gonna get bad in here.

Real bad real fuckin' quick.

Shit. You can say that again.

Hmm, wonder who it was they arrested.

I'm not worried about who they arrested.

I'm more worried about who's gonna come looking for him

and try to blow this motherfucker up to get him out.

- This is not good. - Yeah.

You ain't never lied.

Alex.

They just killed them. How could they do that?

You're not gonna like hearing this,

but it actually makes sense.

The FBI are outside.

And there's only so much supplies available.

But to kill all of them?

Just the ones that weren't gonna make it anyway.

Did you go in there?

The others are alive.

But what you almost did...

That can never happen again.

How could any of this be the Raku way?

I thought this was a place of love and peace.

They have brainwashed our children, Ruth.

Unfortunately, that is the Raku way.

It's self-serving. And cruel.

And downright fucked up.

It was good. I know it was.

Parts of it. Maybe.

- I just want my daughter back. - And so do I.

We just have to be smart and patient.

Do you remember what I told you?

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

Exactly. That's how you survive around here.

Okay? The second you forget that, you are dead.

And Olivia is lost.

You're right.

All you can do is stay strong for your daughter.

And we just wait for an opportunity to present itself.

Then what?

We'll see.

Sister Tally was a good woman.

- Did you know her? - We talked a couple of times.

Small talk, but I really liked her.

She had a beautiful spirit.

And she talked about you, her good friend.

And how you two were supposed to watch each other grow old.

And watch each other's children's children grow up.

When I heard the news, I was-- I was very sad.

- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-- - It's okay. It's okay.

What are you doing here?

Sister Zane told me Sister Alex wasn't feeling well.

She's been through quite the ordeal.

She looks fine to me.

Well, the night air helped.

And so did having time to settle.

Well, then.

She's needed back in the infirmary.

What is your problem?

I thought you were sleeping.

Who could sleep with all that gunfire?

You didn't have to do that.

I do as The Highest commands because I am loyal

- to The Highest. - Unlike me?

You think you're so slick.

We are at war, Dikahn. The last thing we need

to be questioning is allegiances over this bullshit.

- Watch your tongue. - Grow some balls.

I don't care what happened the other night.

I do not trust you, Ruth.

And I will find out the truth.

It's late. My child and I need to rest.

Good morning, my beautiful children of the Rakumas.

I hope that you are well.

I know that the trials the past few days have been hard.

They truly have. The road ahead is not yet clear.

But know that we are still blessed.

The darkness of the evil outside world cannot take that from us.

No, no. What we have is something real and eternal.

Not like the lies of the evil government.

That is why their world is in the state that it's in.

Divided, remorseless, hopeless.

And that is why they hate us. Because we are different.

They hate us because we are free.

And most importantly, they hate us because they fear The Raku.

They fear the truth. But do not fret.

Never ever fret because darkness cannot prevail against the light

that The Raku brings, so rejoice!

For today is our day.

And this day was given to us by the Raku himself.

We are blessed. We are chosen.

Absolutely wonderful.

You're awake.

That I am.

And you thought I was good?

You were fantastic.

The epitome of a divine leader.

And how are you? Didn't uh,

hurt you too much, did I?

- You could never. - Really? Why is that?

Because it's you, Your Highest. I hope I made you feel better.

Well, you certainly distracted me for a moment.

The storm is still there.

- We will defeat it. - Yes, we will.

Well, I am famished.

Have Elder Mother Ruth prepare my breakfast.

Yes, Your Highest.

I truly do enjoy the time that we spend together, Your Highest.

You are a special soul.

Um, can I share something?

What is it?

It's a little embarrassing.

What?

I am angry.

So angry.

And I've never felt this way before.

When George and Lewis took you from us, took you from me,

I never thought I would see you again.

Well, I am here.

And they are in the punishment trailer.

No more harm to you than a moth is to a hurricane.

And I am glad.

But to be honest, I want them to pay.

I want to see them pay.

River, I've never seen this side of you before.

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

I appreciate your love and your honesty.

And I love you with all my soul,

so I must ask will you--

Will I...?

Let me watch them pay.

Yeah. There is much still to do.

But um,

I will honor this love by granting your request.

Seriously, Your Highest?

Yes. Later. Yes.

Thank you. Thank you, Your Highest.

I will have Sacred Mother prepare your breakfast

- right away. - Thank you.

Brother River.

How are you this glorious morning?

Absolutely fine, Brother Dikahn.

You sure?

You look like you're struggling a bit there.

Nope. Just fine.

The Highest sounded very happy during his morning message.

Sounds like he had a really good time with you last night.

Well, The Highest actually needs his breakfast, so--

This is only the beginning.

I want you to know that.

Have a wonderful Raku day.

You bitch ass.

So, tell me this.

Is Luckett drinking his own Kool-Aid

or is he just full of shit?

Six of one, half dozen of the other.

Fair.

So Luckett gets released from prison on parole.

Commits himself to the alias "The Highest."

And then what?

Manages to secure acres of land, buses, trailers,

and a stockpile of weapons? How?

Clearly, he had help.

But who? Who's funding all of this?

- Maybe Keys and her friends? - Possibly.

Could ask Andrew and Sheriff Conley.

We're not making headway with either one.

And with Aaron gone, I might have to cut Conley loose.

Still leaves Andrew.

We find the right pressure point and he'll sing.

Let's put a pin in that.

Keys background check just came in.

- Great. Let's roll. - No.

I'm gonna go to the sheriff's station.

You stay here and make sure hell doesn't break loose.

You got it.

Keep an eye on that news reporter.

You're really worried about her, aren't you?

She smells blood in the water.

Take this to the tables.

The Highest would like you to prepare his breakfast.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey.

What is wrong with you?

Nothing you need to worry about.

So it's like that?

I spent the night with The Highest.

You do the math.

I'm sorry, River.

Don't be like that.

If you're upset about our last conversation, fine.

But don't act like I don't care about you.

Not after all the shit we've been through.

You were only looking out for yourself. Again.

Says the Sacred Mother.

I did that for all of us.

Yet somehow you are the only one reaping the benefits.

You are really an asshole, you know that?

Mm-hmm. Whatever.

Your Highest, I was just coming to see you.

Here I am.

Perhaps we should go inside for your protection.

No.

I will stay out here and breathe the free air.

Of course.

So, how did everything go?

As well as we could've hoped.

No issues from the others?

They were naturally shocked, but ultimately understood.

Good.

Thank you for taking care of that.

It was my pleasure, sir.

And what of the bodies?

They're being taken out to the woods.

Make sure that they're buried.

The last thing we need is more of that foul stench around here.

Of course, sir.

What?

You're in a better mood.

Yes, I am. For now.

River was quite helpful

in quelling the rage of The Raku for a time.

Sorry I was so harsh with you.

- It's okay, sir. - No. No, it's not.

Thank you.

Any updates on the FBI?

I gather the sirens forced them to...

halt.

And with the feds outside, the cartel will be subdued.

Interesting.

You should know, though,

Brother Manny spotted a news van outside.

The evil government is all talk until their actions

are placed under scrutiny.

- Maybe that is how we'll win. - Maybe.

Make sure the men remain on high alert.

One mistake could destroy everything.

Yes, Your Highest.

I think my son was right. We will need the women.

Your Highest?

We'll talk about it later.

Have the cello players perform.

We need to show the people they are allowed to live.

Yes, Your Highest.

It's so quiet out here.

I think I will go to the kitchen and see Elder Ruth.

- Let me walk with you. - No, no. I'll--

I'll be okay.

Your attention is needed elsewhere, my soldier.

Yes.

And Dikahn.

Yes, Your Highest?

I will be in the punishment trailer later.

I don't want to be disturbed.

Of course, sir.

Joan.

Joan, can you hear me?

You'd be proud of me.

I did what I had to do.

I let him fuck me good.

I know.

Language.

You know, I actually kind of miss you saying that to me.

I've been missing a lot of things lately.

Did I ever tell you why I wanted to study entertainment law?

It paid well. Like, really well.

And that was it.

Nothing noble.

Just wanted to travel, get paid, and get laid.

Do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted.

But instead, I came here.

I hate it.

I fucking hate it.

And I'm tired.

Tired... I'm tired of not being in control.

But I have a plan. Yeah.

And I need that passcode, Joan.

The one to the bank account that you set up.

The one in your name. You remember?

Joan, I need that passcode.

You owe it to me.

I saved your life.

I could have left you to die, but I didn't.

It's not my fault that you're still like this.

And what if you die, huh?

Then that money is gone. And I helped you hide it,

so it's kind of my money, too.

Joan.

Do you hear me? Huh?

What are you? Are you trying to say something?

What-- What is it, Joan?

What?

Passcode... no.

Ruth, Ruth, Ruth. We need to talk.

Okay. Calm down. What's going on?

River.

What about him?

He was in the infirmary talking to Joan--

Joan's awake?

No. He was talking to her about money.

What?

He just kept going on about this money

and some secret bank account that Joan must have set up

because he was wanting to know passcodes.

No, no. That doesn't make any sense.

What money?

Money we gave up to join. Money outside the compound.

I honestly don't know, but this is it.

This is the opportunity you were talking about.

What are you talking about?

You're right.

If we go after the girls ourselves, we will be killed.

And they'll be lost forever. What if we didn't have to?

You're talking about blackmail?

River's smart. Crafty.

If anyone can figure out a way to get them away

from Headmaster, it's him.

We need to think this through. Okay? We only get one shot.

What if the money isn't what you think it is?

Or try blackmailing River and he exposes us?

He's close to The Highest.

True.

All I'm saying is, we need to do some homework

before we do anything rash.

I'll look into it, okay?

And if there's something here,

then we can come up with a strategy.

- Okay. - Okay.

- I'm sorry. - It's okay.

But, um, you should get back to the infirmary

before Elder Mother starts asking questions.

Right.

Fuck.

So, looks like your real name actually is Keys.

Yeah, I told you.

You don't look like a Keys.

You look like a Brittany or a Silvia.

Okay. Now you're just being an asshole.

You moved around a lot.

Mother died in a hit-and-run. Father from pancreatic cancer.

Spent the next few years in and out of juvie

for minor crimes before graduating to some serious shit.

Drug possession, breaking and entering,

assault and battery.

Look at me.

What can I say? I'm an overachiever.

What do you know about a man named Tyrone Luckett?

Who?

He calls himself The Highest.

Yeah. Okay. Sounds like a pornstar. Yeah.

You know, funny thing, according to your record,

you served a stint in jail, the same one that Tyrone

served time, actually.

Hmm. Well, it's called a coincidence, bitch.

Listen here, little girl,

you served time in the same prison

and now you're in Virginia fighting the same fight

as Tyrone and his people.

There's coincidence, and then there's bullshit.

So drop the act because your people aren't coming.

You killed one of my men.

How much time do you think you have?

You know you're pretty hot when you're all angry and stuff.

You know that? Hmm.

The things that I would do to you, mommy.

You have no idea.

Yeah, let me get that.

People like you always talk.

Brother River.

Sister Alex. How are you?

We need to talk.

I'm sorry. I really have something to do right now.

Sister Joan isn't doing too well.

I'm aware.

- You two are close, right? - We have spoken. Yes.

Apologies, but The Highest really needs to see me, so...

You spoke with her today.

What?

I saw you, Brother. I know about the money.

I-I don't know what you're talking about, Sister.

You and Joan took it.

A secret account in her name. Any of that ring a bell?

No. Sorry.

You said you were going to see The Highest, right?

Maybe I should walk with you, see what he thinks.

You clearly want something, Sister Alex.

Why don't we just get right to it?

They did something to my daughter and the other kids.

I need you to get her so I can take her

and get the fuck out of this place.

But this is your home.

Why would you ever want to leave?

Don't you give me that bullshit.

Unlike you, I am loyal to The Raku.

What they did to those children, and the injured,

it wasn't right.

So you're gonna get my daughter and Callie,

or I am going to tell The Highest everything.

- Callie? - Yes.

You have two days.

You're gonna get those kids or I am going to reveal it all.

And unlike this, it won't be my word against yours.

Fuck!

- Is everything okay? - Of course, Your Highest.

I have been looking forward to this all day.

Let us go then.

How goes the reprogramming?

Fuck you, man! Turn this shit off!

Language.

That is not the way of The Raku.

There is still much work to be done.

No, no more. We love The Raku.

We love you, Your Highest.

You do not love me.

You betrayed me. You assaulted me.

You said that I was not The Raku,

that all of this was bullshit.

Isn't that what they said, River?

- It was, Your Highest. - See? I do not lie.

We were wrong. Okay? Fuck!

Though they heard the word, they did not receive it.

Your hearts were wicked and cleaved

to the things of this broken world.

Please forgive us.

You want my forgiveness?

Yes, Your Highest.

Are you sure?

Yes.

What would you do for my forgiveness?

- Anything. - Anything?

Anything.

What do you think, River? Should I grant them forgiveness?

I don't know, Your Highest.

Only you can decide, but personally,

I would say, no.

Fuck you, River!

Well, if you truly, truly, truly want forgiveness,

you must first be willing to sacrifice.

Are you willing to sacrifice?

Sacrifice? Sacrifice what?

Are you willing to sacrifice...

your dick?

What?

What? No!

That's what I thought.

Do you hear that? It sounds like screaming.

Fuck this. We're going in.

What about boss lady?

She's off-site. I'm in charge.

Not just gonna stand by and let somebody die.

Gear up.

You heard the man. Let's move.

Shh, shh, shh, shh. It's okay. It's okay.

Don't worry. I won't cut off your dick.

You won't?

No. Two men with no dicks?

What kind of monster do you take me for?

No.

But in order to have forgiveness,

you must first see the light.

Yeah, whatever I've got to do.

Atta boy.

Hold still... Still, still, still.

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

Guys on the left!

Coolidge, talk to me.

It's bad! It's fucking bad!

All right. Fall back. You hear me? Fall back.

Fall back! Fall back!

Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Fuck!

Whew.

Now, that did put a smile on my face.

As it did mine.

Thank you for allowing me to watch.

To think those fools actually thought they could kidnap me

and not suffer any consequences. Forgiveness? Fuck that.

Fools! They will continue to suffer for their transgressions.

When they disgraced our ranks, disgraced your name.

I can only imagine what would have happened

if they were never here.

We wouldn't have lost so many soldiers of The Raku.

We'd have more guns.

The evil government wouldn't have been so close

to getting you, Your Highest.

I know the will of The Raku prevailed,

but I just wish they were never allowed to step foot

in our paradise.

There are many wolves in sheep's clothing.

They just seemed so committed. They were Dikahn's top men.

They had his ear.

Huh.

What?

Nothing.

I just wish they had been vetted better. That's all.

And maybe, we wouldn't be in this current state.

The Raku allows what he allows, River.

Yes. Of course. And praise be to The Raku.

I just hope that this won't happen again.

- I mean, after Oliver-- - Oliver?

Yes. He, too, claimed to be a loyal servant of The Raku,

but he betrayed us.

Almost condemned us to a similar fate.

And I can only imagine what Brother Dikahn must feel

right now. I mean, Oliver was his right hand, too.

I'm sorry, Your Highest. I do not mean to upset you.

I'm not upset.

And you're right.

Dikahn has been deceived many times.

Well, he's also been very faithful.

I mean, leading the men to come save you.

Talking to the FBI.

What?

The FBI.

I heard him talking to them.

- Talking to the FBI? - Yes.

I-I assumed that you knew.

- What did he say? - I don't know, Your Highest.

All I know is that they called.

Probably to negotiate your terms of surrender.

Surrender?

It would make sense. You were dealing a lot.

And?

Dikahn, probably thought it was best to keep this from you,

so you wouldn't be overwhelmed.

I told him, no secrets.

Oh...

I'm sorry, Your Highest. If that is what you told him,

- he should have obeyed. - Yes.

- You are The Highest after all. - Yes, I am.

I need to see him.

Yes.

Yes, of course. Right away.

What the hell were you thinking?

- I'm sorry, Des. - Fuck you and your sorry!

Someone was being tortured in there.

I don't give a shit.

We didn't want all hell to break loose.

That's what I said.

I thought they were killing people in there.

No, only Francis who's in ICU right now

- and may not survive. - I know, Des.

No. It's Agent Walton.

And let me make myself perfectly clear.

I don't care that we fuck. I'm in charge,

so fall in line or go the fuck home.

Your Highest.

You wanted to see me?

Yes.

- I should go. - No. You stay.

Are you sure?

Dikahn. Dikahn.

Is there a problem, Your Highest?

Don't look at him.

Look at me.

Yes.

Answer me something.

Were you talking with the FBI?

Yes, Your Highest.

When?

They called, uh--

- They wanted us to-- - What? Surrender?

Didn't I tell you I want to know everything?

No matter how minor?

- Yes, Your Highest. - Yes.

And yet you keep this from me?

It wasn't like that.

Then what was it like?

Do you dare think to know better than God?

Is that why you keep failing me?

I uh--um--

Oliver, Lilo, George, Lewis.

Hell, even Andrew.

And now this.

Your Highest, please.

How much more must I forgive you?

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

Dikahn.

I gave you that name because you were strong.

And I trusted you like no one else in this life.

You can still trust me.

No, no, no, no, no. I can't. I can't.

Not anymore.

- Please. - This is all your fault.

- I-- - I, I. I what? I what?

- Your Highest, I-- - We are in a war.

- You know this. - Yes, I do.

I cannot have you fail again.

- I will never fail you again. - I don't believe you.

I--

All right. Yes.

The call was nothing. I swear.

You were just looking out for me?

Yes.

Wrong. The call...

was everything!

You have learned nothing!

- I have--I've-- - River, I can trust.

Yes, Your Highest.

Well?

What are you waiting for?

Dikahn, come here.

Take off your clothes.

Now.

Pick them up.

Give them to River.

Be ready to get a purple robe.

Leave my sight.
