Now I just need to wait for the food to kick in.

Supreme Mother's food always makes me feel better.

Of course.

Previously onRuthless...

One more body and that's it for me.

Camera in the compound could be really useful.

Are you trying to get me fired?

I'm here to speak with my client,

- Keyshawna Marks? - You got 30 minutes.

That'll be far more than I need.

I gotta use the bathroom, man!

Whoa, hey! Hey!

Andrew! Wait!

The ultrasound is ready.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God... what? What is it?

Oh, my God! I can't wait to see the baby!

All praises to The Raku! Oh, my God!

Proceed.

Wait a minute.

Ruth...

Why are you so nervous?

I, I'm...

I just never had so many people around for an ultrasound,

that's all.

Sacred Mother, why are you crying?

I'm happy. Happy tears.

Yes. Yes, life as we know it is about to end.

Yeah...

Proceed.

I'm ready to see my son.

What is that?!

Quiet, quiet.

It's a heartbeat!

- It is? - Yes, listen!

Yes.

Listen!

Oh, praises to the Sacred Mother!

All praises to The Rakuuuu!

Brother River...

ring the gathering bells. There is good news to be shared.

Yes, yes, Brother River! Share the great news!

Sacred Mother...

We are the family that is going to change the world.

What a day. What a day!

Oh, praises to the Sacred Mother!

All praises to The Rakuuu!

Hello.

Michael, thank you for leading us

to Agent Green's remains.

He's dead? I didn't know.

It's fine. It doesn't matter.

We have a journalist

that would like to interview The Highest.

Do you think that's something he would be interested in?

Yes.

Yes, I think he'd like that...

very much.

Fuck!

Justice.

Well, you sure did a 180 on this whole thing.

That spyware we put on that laptop

paid off in spades.

What's Michael been up to?

Besides jerking it to twink porn?

Searching "The Highest,"

posting about how great The Raku is.

Right.

Playing a game of follow the narcissistic leader

in the hopes to stay on Tyrone's good side.

I knew he'd bite.

So we're really doin' it?

Sending in a reporter and a cameraman?

Not a cameraman.

Desiree, you're a fucking genius.

Don't mess it up.

Today, The Raku has blessed us.

I have seen the Sacred Child

that grows inside Sacred Mother.

My son, who will save the world.

And that is not all. No, no.

For soon, this world will be covered

in a sea of loyal Rakudushis,

for Dikahn has found a way to spread the good word

beyond our gates.

All praises to The Raku.

We will be having some company.

A reporter who will share

the incredible story of the Rakudushis

to the entire world.

We should use this opportunity to show the evil government

that we are prepared,

not eager,

to fight for the Raku.

Instead of focusing on the war outside our gates,

perhaps we should focus on the war for the minds of the world.

Wars are not won...

- with minds. - Go on, Dikahn.

If we show this paradise for the utopia that it is,

the public will see

that we're on the side of righteousness.

Yes. Yes, the more light that we shine on the Raku,

the more shadow is cast on the evil government

outside our gates.

If we show weakness, the government will attack.

If we show compassion, the government can'tattack.

Turn the public against them.

To that end, I suggest we use the children.

What, my children?

Let us have a parade--

a, a parade of the lambs--

to show them that the future of the Rakudushi

is in the faces of the innocents.

Children are not show ponies. They...

They exist for a higher purpose.

What greater purpose than representing The Raku on Earth?

My son is The Raku.

Of course, Your Highest. I apologize.

The children will not parade today.

But we will shine a light on the peace and prosperity

that is The Raku.

Your Highest.

May I have a word with you, if it pleases you?

Speak, Brother Anthony.

Your Highest...

I fear...

letting a reporter into our camp

is a grave mistake.

Go on.

How so?

My gut is telling me this will end badly.

I do not make decisions based on the gut

of someone who wears a purple robe.

Sir, outsiders can't be trusted.

We're inviting a wolf into our house.

I allowed you to speak.

Now I require your silence.

Yes, Your Highest.

Vulnerabilities, ammo stores, food supplies,

any and every intel you can grab.

Copy that.

We'll be listening on the monitor feed.

Now, Mariah, you know we're not sending you in there

to do any fluff piece propaganda bullshit, right?

I'm gonna get the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing but the Pulitzer.

What's the safe word to get me the hell out of there?

No word needed. Right, Mariah?

The Highest has been waiting his entire life for this moment.

They're all gonna be on their best behavior.

Sister Lacey?

What are you doing?

Slowly dying inside. How are you?

You have to be careful.

They're gonna stamp you damaged goods

and put you in the recycling bin.

Fuck them!

Fuck everything and everybody!

I'm just gonna die in this shithole compound anyway.

Don't say that. We have a plan.

What plan?

Keep your voice down--

To take the money and run?!

Keep your voice down.

They changed the password.

What?

Yeah.

I tried to log on to River's computer.

He and Joan change the password.

Fucking Joan. She played you.

Yeah, well...

I guess it must be getting played season

'cause The Highest is about to play everybody

in the entire fucking world.

Flowers everywhere.

This place is scrubbed and spotless.

And they got this fucking living hell

lookin' like an amusement park.

And the devil himself is about to fool everyone into thinking

he's an angel.

Lacey, you can't give up hope.

What's hope, Zane?

Sounds familiar, but I just can't seem to place it anymore.

You can't give up.

Lacey, you have to keep fighting.

With what?

Huh?

They've got all the guns. All the control.

All the power!

You still have power.

You have your heart, your mind, your voice.

No.

No one listens to the crazy bitch.

Hello?! Is anyone listening?!

See?

No one here hears me anymore.

Wait...

There is a new person coming who just might listen.

- Oh no. - Oh yeah.

I'm gonna tell that reporter about

all the fucked-up rape and lies and murder.

I'm gonna expose it all.

Lacey, you can't.

They'll kill you.

They can't kill me.

Not on camera they can't.

I'm gonna burn this whole fucked-up place to the ground.

You know this is a bad idea, right?

No, this is a horribleidea.

The dumbest idea I've ever heard.

Thanks to that son of a bitch River.

Such a fucking snake.

Even Obadiah's against this.

- Well, stop it. - I tried.

He disagreed.

Yeah, he doesn't listen to me anymore.

That purple robe gettin' scratchy, ain't it?

Lacey!

Aren't you excited?

It's a wonderful day!

Play!

A game...

All right, it's wonderful.

Indeed, The Highest is to be interviewed,

and I am having his son.

Son!

Fun!

One!

Doesn't your son...

have anything to say about this to stop it or something?

He hasn't spoken to me about it.

I can't just put words in his mouth.

This interview is happening.

We can't stop it.

So just do what I'm doing.

And what's that?

Whatever I can to protect The Highest,

protect his image, and make sure he looks good.

Yes.

There are those lurking among us that wish to bring him down.

I'll stand guard.

Stamp out those who wish to bring down our leader.

Freedom! Freedom!

Oh... shit.

Freedom! Freedom!

Welcome to paradise.

Freedom! Freedom!

Everyone looks so happy here.

Well, they are happy. And why wouldn't they be?

While the world outside is overflowing with turmoil,

war, corruption, greed...

...inside our gates is a... a refuge from the storm.

Hi!

What's your name?

Ruby.

And are you happy here, Ruby?

This is paradise.

And... who's that gentleman there?

That is our headmaster.

He tends to the children.

With an axe?

Well, because of the communal nature here,

we all wear many hats.

He teaches our children,

but he also chops our firewood.

His axe has actually become a symbol of sorts.

He uses it to hack away at the brainwashing

the government has done to our children.

And what sort of brainwashing is that?

Those that do not buy

the society they sell are... less than.

And what does society sell?

Describe the menu.

Greed is good.

Every man for himself.

That we should all be fighting each other

along the lines of classism, racism.

That those of us who deny this false paradigm

are somehow to be feared,

ridiculed,

vilified,

attacked.

And who exactly is attacking you?

Who is attacking me?

Who is attacking us?

Who is attacking these innocent children

you see playing on the playground?

Yes. Who?

No.

No what?

No, it is not a who that is attacking us,

but rather a what.

Right, Your Highest?

What?

Yes.

What.

A what.

And that whatis...

none other than the United States government,

who only profits from the division,

who fears our mission of unity.

So, you're saying that the government's outside

because you're peaceful?

Allergy season.

Sorry.

He's got the allergies really bad,

and because of the blockade,

we haven't been able to get meds.

And you know, I think that is actually

a great place to take five.

We will pick this back up

in the one-on-one part of the interview.

Fine.

Great.

And cut.

Hey, while you get set up,

I'm actually gonna go get some B-roll.

B-roll?

You don't know what B-roll is?

Establishing shots.

Supporting footage for promos, things like that.

Sorry about that.

When you've been a cameraman so long,

you start to think that everyone knows what you do.

Right, well, Sacred Mother will give you the complete tour.

Shall we?

Oh, look.

What a wonderful paradise you have here.

Not so fast, bitch.

Not so fucking fast.

Where are you going?

I was just going to--

Come with me.

Obadiah?

The Raku has given me a vision.

Of?

We will indeed have the parade of lambs.

Yes, Your Highest.

Watch out, motherfucker!

Hey, chill, chill, look.

We all on the same team, right?

Go Raku and all that.

Yeah, man, my bad.

I'm a loyal Raku supporter.

I'm just trying to get up in here like you, bro.

My bad.

Excuse me.

We can't get arrested before we go in.

How the fuck we gonna get in?

Nigga, they got walls and AK's and shit.

The feds can't even get in!

Look, I gotta find my brother Lilo,

and we gotta find this motherfucking money

before the cartel do us like they did Keys.

All right? So either we gonna find a way in

or we about to make one.

What's in there?

Why do you ask?

No reason.

I'm Leroy, by the way.

Sacred Mother.

Oh, nice to meet you, Sacred Mother, wow.

Um, I get a bit awkward when it's too much silence,

so I'm just making small talk.

That was the tool shed.

Shovels, rakes,

all those man toys.

Oh, okay, well, actually,

my wife does all the yardwork.

I like to bake.

You're married?

Why aren't you wearing your ring, if I may ask?

It gets caught on the camera.

Um, what about that one?

Well, actually that trailer is where

we like to take people...

I think it's time for you to meet back up with your group.

Brother Anthony's right.

Thank you, Brother Anthony.

This place is really something.

I'm sure.

Shall we?

Yeah.

If you don't shut up...

I'm gonna turn you into a circus freak, okay?

Like these two.

We surely shall see the sunshine soon.

We surely shall see the sunshine soon.

I am the sunshine.

And... action.

I'm here with the leader of the Rakudushi,

and I'd just like the audience to know

that there have been no preconditions to this interview.

Nothing is off limits.

I have nothing to hide.

We... have nothing to hide.

Good.

In fact, I welcome the opportunity

to let the world into the world of the Rakudushis,

to counter the lies and deceit

of those who'd wish to bring us down.

You say "lies."

There've been reports of violence on this compound,

abuse, and even deaths.

Are you saying that these are lies?

Who's giving these reports?

The media?

The government?

Well, yes.

People with agendas.

Bullies with megaphones shout down

to the meek and the voiceless.

Theyare the ones committing abuse against us.

Those, like you, watching at home without power.

So if I understand you correctly,

you're saying that the media and the government are lying

to make you look bad?

No, not look bad. They're lying to destroy me.

To destroy what The Raku has built through me,

his vessel on Earth.

There are some that say the fact

that negative rumors swirl about you

is a clear indicator that the abuse has occurred.

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

Where there's smoke, there is a liar.

The mere fact that the government

is saying these things about me

is proof of my righteousness, my power.

Explain.

The FBI said that Martin Luther King

was dangerous.

Mahatma Gandhi was considered an enemy of the state.

Nelson Mandela was called a criminal.

Are you comparing yourself to these men?

I'm not.

The government is.

That's... interesting.

The government's fear is evidence

of my stature as a prophet of peace,

a revolutionary.

They wish to strike down out of fear.

What are they afraid of?

That people out there in the dark, terrifying world

will hear the holy message of The Raku

and join us in the light.

Hmm.

What kind of deranged bastard escapes from jail

and runs right back to a cult?

Be thankful he did. I told DC we have eyes

and we'll take him back into custody

after the interview.

After?

No, we do it now.

He fights back, causes a scene,

they freak out, lock the gates.

Now we have a hostage situation with Coolidge and Mariah.

For now, we let the egomaniac have his moment in the sun,

'cause when this is all over,

he's not gonna see it for a very long time.

It's so fucking hot in here.

I told you, no talking!

What you scared of?

Mind your fucking business.

We can't make any noise

because there's this big interview going on.

And nobody can know all the fucked-up--

Shut the fuck up!

Quiet!

You kicked me.

That one's on yo ass.

What if we screamed?

Okay, what if I kill you?

Oh, you gonna shoot me?

That would be really loud!

What is this?

A fuckin' interview or something?

There's no interview.

There is so.

I'mma strangle you, bitch.

Oh, relax!

You're not gonna get in trouble, Captain Manny.

Besides, the interview is taking place

in The Highest's trailer.

They can't hear us even if we did scream.

Oh, The Raku be praised.

Damn, y'all, I'm fuckin' hot.

What are you-- What are you doing?

Whatever the fuck I want!

Shit, we all gonna die in this shithole compound anyway.

I might as well be comfortable.

Y'all gonna die, not me.

Oh, is that right?

And why is that?

'Cause we're the outcasts?

I'm guarding you, okay? I'm not you.

Got it. Okay, okay, okay.

So where, where are all the other guards?

Guarding The Highest...

Guarding the front gates...

But you up in here guarding the crazy bitch,

the blind man, and the dickless wonder.

- Fuck you! - Fuck you!

We can agree on that.

Fuckin' crazy.

Nah, I was acting like I was crazy.

You know that?

I was pretending like I was crazy

so everybody here left me the fuck alone.

For real?

For real.

But they didn't. They didn't.

They just kept fucking with me, and fucking with me--

Don't do that! Stop!

and fucking with me and I just can't fucking take it anymore!

I'm so fucking depressed!

Shit!

How am I stuck in this living hell?

I just wanna fucking die!

I'm sitting here spilling out what's left of my heart

and you just-- my titties.

Fantastic.

You wanna fuck me, Manny?

You wanna fuck me?

You can fuck me.

I don't even care anymore.

Go ahead.

Dude, close your eyes.

Dude--

Just do it!

- I'm blind. - Shut up!

Give me your keys, you stupid motherfucker!

Now!

Walk our audience through

how you went from Tyrone Luckett

to The Highest.

Well, it's a long story.

A simple one.

Going to prison doesn't sound simple.

No, it wasn't.

You went to prison for armed robbery

and attempted murder.

Do I have that correct?

You do.

But I'm not ashamed of my time in prison.

Mandela went to prison.

Gandhi went to prison.

Martin Luther King went to prison.

Those men didn't go to prison for street crimes.

Malcolm X did.

And it was in prison that he transformed himself

into an agent of positive change.

He and I share that journey.

Describe it.

As a younger man, I was much like my followers.

I bought what the government sold me.

Greed is good.

The self is more important than the collective.

I played by the rules of the game--their rules.

Their game.

And they punished me for it.

Expand on that.

Meanwhile, they use their loopholes

to steal billions in tax dollars.

Slush funds, corporate giveaways,

and golden parachutes,

while the rest of us are forced to decide between

paying the light bill and buying milk.

And we're the bad guys?

Look into the camera and speak directly

to those watching around the world.

What do you want to say to them?

I hear you.

I know you.

I feel you.

I am you.

You're tired of feeling less than, like an other.

Come to The Raku.

We welcome all.

We are all.

The Raku is the way.

Thank you for sitting down with me.

I think that's it.

And cut.

That was incredible!

Well done, Your Highest!

Truly.

Towel.

That wasn't so hard, now, was it?

You know, the invitation extends to you, Mariah.

And to you, Leroy.

We could use a little media savvy on the Rakudushis.

Well, I'll think about it.

Uh, but, back at my--back at my house.

Do you need help with that?

Ah, no, it's new. I just got it.

The screw thingy just isn't--

I've worked with that one before.

I'll help you.

No!

I'll teach you a lesson!

But today I teach the lesson.

The Raku supported your feet, yet you did not want it.

Why won't you receive the love of The Rakumas?

Why?

Everything's gonna be okay.

No, it's not.

Yes, yes, I was watching The Highest's trailer,

hoping you'd make it here

to tell your truth to that reporter,

and hope worked.

Hope never works.

Fuck hope.

No, don't you see?

Don't you see?

It paid off.

'Cause I hoped it saved your life.

Why...

I'm just gonna die in this compound anyway.

This motherfucker's gonna wake up

and he's gonna finish what he started.

So what do we do?

Do we kill him?

If we kill them, they kill us.

No, first, they rape us,

and then they kill us.

And then they gouge our fucking eyes out

and cut off our privates.

And... and they kill us.

Zane, it's over.

It's over for me.

It's over.

No. No, not--

not if you tell that reporter what's going on.

We can get out of here.

- She can save us. - No.

No, they literally just walked out of here.

You can catch them before they reach the gate.

Hey...

Hope is like sunshine in the darkness.

It's all we have to follow.

Okay, without it, we're lost.

Too much sun burns.

I'm tired of being burned.

- Lacey... - I'm tired.

Show your sunshine.

Please.

That's all you can do.

Show your sunshine.

Please.

Dikahn, I must commend your initiative

in arranging this interview.

The Raku guided my hand, Your Highest.

It was a triumph for all.

We showed the world the true spirit of The Raku.

- Well done. - Thank you, Your Highest.

Aren't you the star pupil?

You didn't think he could do it, did you?

This is new for you, River.

I thought you only sucked him off insidethe trailer.

Jealousy doesn't become you, Ruth.

Enjoy your win.

It won't last.

Is that...

I think I felt my son kick.

He's in trouble.

What the fuck is that?

I don't know, better stick with.

Listen, we have to do it right.

Shit about to go down.

We finna bust up in this motherfucker.

Y'all ready?

Yeah, yeah.

Who wants to see The Raku?

The real Raku.

Not this fake-ass unicorn and flower bullshit

this motherfucker been selling you.

Obadiah!

I'll show you The Raku.

See my sun shine, bitches.

Don't stop rolling.

No!

- I'll grab him. - No, no, we wait!

I'm not letting him get away again!

Andrew!

Come here!

Hell yeah! Hell yeah!

Bitch.

Brother Peter, escort our guests to the kitchen.

After so much excitement, I'm sure they must be famished.

Actually, sir, I'd rather eat at home.

You will stay. I insist.

I told you. I told you.

Inviting them in was a bad idea.

Yes. You were right.

I love you, Your Highest.

I love you.

Of everyone in your life,

I alone have been loyal to you.

I never wavered.

I never, ever had a moment of doubt.

Not one time!

I know.

You just-- you just don't listen to me.

Your ears too full of hissing

from the three-headed snake!

River, Obadiah, and Ruth!

I have secrets on all three of these fucking snakes.

All of them lie to you constantly.

All of them plot on your death, Your Highest!

Silence!

There has been enough bloodshed today.

Take your leave, Dikahn, before your fortunes change.

I can't believe Brother Anthony

spoke to you like that, Your Highest.

He must be unwell.

I should have relieved Brother Anthony of his head.

He's simply upset that he lost possession of this coat,

levying false accusations against us.

And yet here the three of you are,

hissing in my ear.

What punishment would you like me to give Brother Anthony

for his insolence?

I'm sure the mighty Raku will deal with Anthony

and deliver whatever punishment he deserves.
