Original subtitles

The Agronytes are training without your knowledge,

who knows what Obadiah taught them?

Previously on Ruthless...

The Highest said he had over $3 million in the compound.

Sorry, my dickless friend.

I need this money.

I'm tryin' to get some food.

You're not a man. You're a little weasel rat.

The Agronytes eat first.

I still haven't forgotten about you being my wife.

- Just let it go. - Nah.

What the hell is going on now?

We need to get out of here before we all end up like that.

God! Why have you forsaken me?

Because you don't pray to the Raku, Theresa.

My name is T.

I don't care who you are.

Why'd y'all bring this whore up in here?

I was having my meal!

Oh, seriously?

You managed to escape.

And yet you're right back here.

I think the Raku just wants you here.

What happened?

You're supposed to be her guard.

- I, uh... I am, I am, Highest. - Okay. And why is she bleeding?

- Uh... - Did this whore do it?

Did you let this asshole touch the Sacred Mother

while you were protecting her?

No, no... no, Your Highest. I... I was...

Your Highest, I was going to the outhouse

and I had to vomit.

Manny was kind enough to give me some privacy.

And then Theresa attacked me from behind.

You had your back turned on her, Manny?

Your Highest... Your Highest... Your Highest...

He protected me.

That's why Theresa's here,

Right.

Why have you come back?

Just for that.

You will burn in hell for what you've done to us.

You are a virus...

trying to spread throughout my compound.

You come in here and assault my wife...

and my son to be.

This will be your last mission.

Would you like us to take her

to the punishment trailer, Your Highest?

No... No.

Something more sinister.

She is working with the government, Your Highest.

We need to send them a message

that you are the jury and the judge.

He reigns supreme.

Take her to the porch where I can see her.

- Have the Agronytes help you. - Yes, Your Highest.

Come on! Get up!

I'm tired of seeing you bleed.

I'm okay, Your Highest

Bleeding lets me know I'm alive.

Most women would fall down at the face of the enemy.

But... you fight back.

Your son fights back. I'm just a vessel.

And I will not be taken down by the evil government.

This is why the Raku sent you to me, to watch over me.

I won't let anyone hurt you, Your Highest...

and the Raku will be pleased

that you have apprehended that rat.

Yes... Yes, they will.

So did the evil government send you back?

To do what?

You will tell me why you were back here or...

you will suffer greatly.

I'm already suffering looking at you.

You led me... good one.

I feel like my son wants to hit you for...

trying to kill his mother.

Ruth, do the honors.

My pleasure, Your Highest.

Are you sorry?

Yes, I'm sorry!

Damn right you sorry.

You are sorry traitor bitch! Say it!

- Say it! - I'm a sorry traitor bitch!

You still want our money?

- No, I don't want anything! - You damn right.

I would not want to be on Ruth's bad side.

Don't.... you... ever...

Touch... the Sacred... Mother!

Breathe... Breathe.

Okay... I'm not done with this trick.

- You're not? - No. No, Your Highest.

She hasn't suffered enough yet.

Then I will take over for you,

- my Sacred Heart. - No.

You deny me?

No, Your Highest.

I just need your strength to help me power through.

I love you, Your Highest.

I love you, my Ruth.

Now, I think that's enough.

I still have to ask her questions.

I'm sorry, Your Highest.

Punishing her with you...

made me... it's exhilarating.

Your bloodlust is... such a turn on.

I'm just following your lead, my love.

Cut her down.

Are you okay?

I just...

I think I'm just a little tired after all that.

You were quite ruthless.

Plus, I think I might still have an infection.

Ah, that's right.

Ruth, you have to... You have to take care of yourself.

I mean, my son, he gives you strength,

but he needs care, too.

- Manny? - Yes, Your Highest.

Take Sacred Mother to get some help.

Right away, Your Highest.

Where should we take her, Your Highest?

To the chair.

- Yes, Your Highest. - No, no, no...

And send Elder Mother to tend to her wounds.

We don't want her to die yet.

She should be grateful for your compassion,

Your Highest.

Yes... Yes, she should.

Thank you, Manny.

You're welcome, Sacred Mother. Can I get you anything?

- No, just... just Elder Mother. - Okay, I'll get her.

- Manny... - Zane?

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

What are you doing?

Elder mother asked me to bring these herbs into the trailer.

Oh, I hope those are for the... For the Sacred Mother.

- Why? - She's not feeling that well.

I think the infection is still bothering her.

I better get in there.

Um... are you feeling okay?

What do you mean?

You don't... You don't have an infection...

down there?

- No... Manny. - Oh.

Why do you ask that?

Well, that would explain why you...

- Did that? - Yeah.

Is it still hurting?

No. It's pretty much healed up now.

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

- No infection, ever. - Okay, good.

- Ruth? - Oh... Zane.

How was it?

I fucked her up.

I hope that doesn't stop them from helping us.

It won't.

Everybody's playing chess around here.

- They're gonna kill her? - Yeah.

- Are you gonna stop it? - No.

And neither is the FBI.

From what she was saying,

they could care less if she's missing.

Charge it to the game.

We don't have long 'cause Elder Mother's

going to come here and check on me.

- I'm ready. - Are you?

Yeah, anything you want me to do, I'll do it.

Good...

So the money that I took from The Highest's daybed

the night he got kidnaped...

Yeah?

It's in the trunk of the make-out car.

- Really? - Yeah.

Are you sure it's still there?

I was able to check on it the other night.

And I'm the only one with the key.

The Highest thinks the money's in the safe,

but he doesn't even know how to open the safe.

So we have time.

Especially since he's off his meds.

Okay.

I want you to go to my trailer right now and get the keys.

It's under the mattress in a hole.

I can do that.

I have something big that I need you to help me with.

And after that,

I want you to go...

get to the car and drive away.

- And wait for you? - No.

Get in the car and drive until you run out of gas.

Get some more gas...

and drive until you can't any more.

I want you to go.

I'm not... I'm not leaving you. I can't leave you.

- I can't leave, Ruth. - I don't want to hear it,

you can. You can. This is your chance.

- Take the money and run. - No. No, I can't.

I can't leave you. I can't... I can't leave River.

Yes, you can.

No, no I... I can't. They... They hunt people down.

Manny wants to marry me. He's gonna find me.

He'll bring me back here no matter what.

I need you to protect me.

You are strong, Zane. You got this.

- No. - Zane...

If things go the way that I plan,

none of those dogs will make it out of here alive, okay?

Just go.

No, I need to see him dead before I leave.

- I need to see him dead. - Zane...

No, Ruth, do you understand? I need to see him dead.

I understand, but as soon as that motherfucker is cold,

you get your ass out of here.

- Okay, Zane? - Yeah.

Now, this is what I need you to help me with.

What are you doing here?

Um... I brought these.

I thought you might need more herbs, Elder Mother.

Girl, I sent Brother Manny to pick some comfrey root.

Me think you should go with him to help him gather.

I need to make a special concoction for Ruth.

I'd... I'd like to stay here and help you.

Girl... Me told you how you can help... now go.

Yes, Elder Mother.

- Huh? - What happened to the water?

What? What do you mean?

- The water just shut off. - Shit!

The water tank is drained.

Get to your trailers. Go!

It's done.

Really?

Water's off, power's next.

Beautiful.

- Hey, what's going on? - The water's cut off.

The water... is off!

- What is going on out there? - I don't know, Elder Mother!

Well you stay here. I'm going to see.

All those fools are running around out there.

Your Highest!

Elder Mother, can you not see

that I'm asking guidance from the Raku?

Yes, Your Highest... Your Highest, I must tell you.

Where is Andrew? I asked not to be disturbed.

- Your Highest-- - Can you not knock?

Is a heads up not an option?

Your Highest, the water is off.

What?

Me making a concoction for Ruth

and the water in the infirmary is off,

the water in the shower is off,

and the water in the kitchen is off!

Okay! Okay, I get it.

And people... they're running around naked.

I don't mind the men, but...

Your Highest!

I'm sorry, Your Highest. I tried to stop her.

Well, you didn't try hard enough.

So sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

If it wasn't you, it'd be someone else.

What's going on, Your Highest?

The water is off.

- Really? - Joan!

Y-Yes, Your Highest?

The water?

I-I-I-It's off, Your Highest.

Why?

I-I-I don't know.

I... We paid the utility bills, Your Highest.

They get paid on time every month.

So there's reserves, right?

There's no water left in the tank.

But we still have water left in the well.

Well...

that's precisely why we have the well in the first place.

The evil white man's establishment can't get to that.

Gather a group to fetch as much water as possible.

People will have to bathe

and use that water source for cooking and such.

- Elder Mother? - Yes, Your Highest?

Show them how to store the water properly.

Yes, Your Highest.

- Joan? - Yes, Your Highest.

Call the water company. Find out why we got shut off.

I-I don't have a phone, Your Highest.

Use the internet.

Send them an email or emojis.

Do something.

Will do, Your Highest.

See if she's alive.

Hey! Hey! Wake up!

She's breathing.

I see that.

Kill me.

In due time.

- What are your friends up to? - Huh?

The evil government.

They have something to do with this.

What do you know?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I know you're The Highest.

Shouldn't matter what the government does.

You'll provide for your people, right?

You're in no position to be sarcastic.

You're going to tell me what you know or...

I need to talk to the evil government.

Give me the phone.

Your Highest, I don't have my phone.

You smashed my phone, remember?

No... My phone. Give me my phone.

- I don't-- - Find the phone!

I got you. Thank you, sir.

Well... the electricity's out, too.

What do you think happened?

I don't know, but The Highest is pissed.

- I have to go find out. - Okay.

I'll walk you to your trailer first.

No, you don't have to.

I have to show you that I care about you.

I'm gonna protect you as husband.

- Manny, stop! - What do you mean, stop?

I mean, s--

Go to your trailer.

I'll handle you later.

Yes, brother.

Here you go.

- What are you doing, boy? - What?

Here, take this one.

How am I supposed to fill this up.

With the pump!

You want me to show you how to pump?

No, I got it, Elder Mother. Thank you.

Well, as a matter of fact, why don't you be a gentleman...

and carry all of these?

- What is she gonna do? - Supervise!

We don't want your traitor ass hiding all the precious water.

Now go! Go!

If only we could pray to the Raku for rain.

- Agent Walton. - It's Ruth.

Ruth... I'm happy to hear your voice.

- What the fuck are you doing? - Excuse me?

Did you.... I mean.... No. No, you couldn't have.

- Are you okay? - I... No!

I don't know how much longer I'm going to be able

to keep in contact with you.

- Is it getting worse? - Yes.

- For who? - I can't talk.

A lot is going on right now. I just thought...

Just... I can't... It's too crazy.

Okay... Just try and keep in touch with me, Ruth.

- Agent Walton? - Yes.

Are you able to mess with the facilities here?

What do you mean?

The water just turned off

and people are screaming about the electricity now.

- Yes. - What?

- Yes, that's our doing. - You turned off the water?

- And the electricity. - What the hell?

We're forcing his hand.

By making everyone here suffer?!

He can't keep the gates closed for long.

I thought your purpose was to help us.

- It is. - You're making it worse.

It's a temporary inconvenience.

An inconvenience? We don't have water.

- Ruth... - Look, Agent Walton.

There are children here.

There are elderly mothers.

There are breastfeeding women here.

Ruth... It's either this

or another attempt at forcing our way inside.

And I don't think you could

stop him from poisoning you all for long... Work with us.

Get him to negotiate,

and we can provide all the provisions that you need.

Fuck you!

She's pissed.

I tried to tell you not to show your hand on this one.

Oh, is that what you were miming?

Desiree, I hate to say it, but...

- You know she's right. - She is.

Are you sure you want to go about it this way?

What other way is there, Kal... a damn tunnel?

That will ring the alarms in any other case.

And to get this done, we have to take a risk.

If she would just listen to me,

we can provide the care packages that she needs.

No, you're absolutely right. You're right.

We got to do what we got to do.

How are we going to pull her back in?

I don't need to.

We'll give it a few days.

The Highest will come begging to negotiate with us.

Fuck!

Ruth, it is madness out there.

Of course it is, Joan.

You all right?

Who were you talking to?

- The FBI. - That's great, right?

Ruth, you're gonna get them to help us, right?

They can unfreeze the account and get us out of here.

- Yes? - Can they?

Well, yes, of course they can. They promised.

You still believe in government promises?

Are they doing this to fuck with us?

Did they shut everything off?

All right. Can I use the phone?

God only knows what The Highest

is gonna do to me if I don't call the companies.

- Companies? - Yes!

He thinks we didn't pay our utility bills.

But you did.

Of course I did.

- Hmm... - What?

Thought you might have been pocketing that money, too.

Oh, come on, Ruth.

You're not going to have me pay for this forever, are you?

You're a snake.

I'm a snake?

You're the one who took off with the cash.

- Here we go. - I am not a snake.

I had good reason to hide that money.

And I put it all under your name.

- Did you? - Yes, I did.

It's not my fault the FBI got ahold of it.

I mean...

did you have good reason to hide it...

all those years?

Didn't take me long to figure out

that being here was a mistake.

I know how to play the long game.

I have patience, Ruth.

If you were in my position,

I guarantee you would have done it, too.

We all want the same thing.

And what's that?

Compensation for all the bullshit

they put us through.

No, Joan.

You see, we do not want the same things.

Really?

Well, what do you want, Ruth?

Retribution.

For Callie? Ruth...

You have to find a way to grieve and move forward.

Callie would want that.

Don't you tell me what Callie would want.

You know, not too long ago,

I had beautiful dreams of all of us

escaping this nightmare together with the funds in our accounts.

You, me, River, Zane and Lacey before she...

Well...

I pictured all of us out in the world,

living together as a family, helping each other,

supporting each other through whatever the future might hold.

But now...

I don't even know if I want to leave anymore.

I hope the utilities never come back on,

that it never rains and that we all just perish.

Just... just stop it.

- What? - You really are a snake,

Ruth, why are you like this?

In all of what you just said,

you never mentioned your children once.

You want me to move forward

like you did from your children who are still alive right here?

No, Joan, we are not the same.

We do not want the same things.

That's because you wanted Callie.

Wow.

It's true. Look, I hate to admit it.

As a woman, you're never supposed to say it, right?

But I only had kids because that's what you do

after you get married... But motherhood?

Motherhood made me a shell of myself

until I wanted to die.

You see, I never felt the way you feel.

And neither did their father.

Look he abandoned them first,

left me struggling with two ungrateful

brats who blamed me for his leaving.

So if he can leave them behind, why can't I?

They are still your children.

Nobody ever said that to their father.

But that's a woman's plight, right?

Yeah.

Are you gonna help us get this money and run?

Are you going to use us

so that you can get your retribution at our expense?

Yeah... That's what I thought.

You call me selfish, Ruth,

but pot, meet the fucking kettle.

Good girl, Zane... Good girl.

What was that?

Hey?!

Agronyte Will!

- We have a deserter! - What the hell?

Please... Please no... No...

Ooh... Obadiah's gonna have fun punishing you, Little Doe.

What were you doing?

I-I was... I was... I was waiting for Brother Manny.

Brother Manny?

Yes.

Yes, we... We are to be married one day.

You're having unholy sex with him?

Please don't...

It's just a chair now.

It's just a chair.

- Oh, shit. - "Oh, shit" is right.

Listen, I don't know why they would cut you all off.

Shutting off utilities requires some great overreach.

Would it now?

- Yeah. - And they wouldn't do that?

Hell yea they would.

So then they did this?

Man, I don't know.

I know they want to shoot you in the head,

not make sure you can't bathe or brush your teeth.

When I'm done with her, tie her up outside my trailer.

She'll receive the seeds of my Agronytes.

- Which ones, Your Highest? - All of them.

What does that mean?

What does that mean?

What does that mean?!

Hey... River.

- Brother Andrew? - Let me ask you something.

You wouldn't happen to know where The Highest did

- with his cell phone, would you? - No.

Shit! Means I'm gonna have to find it.

What does that mean?!

What do you think they're doing to that girl?

I know that scream.

The Highest is gonna roast her over a fire.

I'm sorry I asked.

- Wait. - What?

Look, I will help you

find the phone if you help me with this water.

All right, River. Whatever, man. But make it fast, bro.

- It's too hot to be playin'. - I know.

without any water, it's about to get real around here very soon.

Yeah. You think?

You know, you can help, too, you know?

You don't have to just stand around just to supervise.

Elder Mother told us you're being punished.

You know what? I'll pump. All right. Go.

Just worry about the buckets, man.

- Thank you. - I told you, I don't have time.

The hell is that?

Yo!

What the fuck is in there?

I don't want to say what it is...

but you need to go get a flashlight.

Okay.

Ugh! Elder Mother Beatrice...

can you please go get my soldiers so they can help out?

Yes, brother.

Damn!

Elder Mother!

Don't come running up on me, boy!

Sorry, Elder Mother.

You look like you seen a ghost. Where's the water?

Elder Mother, I need a flashlight.

- What do you mean, flashlight? - I mean a flashlight.

You mean a light stick?

- Like your light stick? - Elder Mother, this is serious.

Well, what's wrong?

I don't know yet. I just need a flashlight.

Yes... Every time I try to have

a little bit of fun or lighten the mood...

You're all so serious.

Here... there's a flashlight in the trailer here.

Thank you.

Bah!

Quiet.

Ruth...

Just the woman I want to see.

I'm glad, Your Highest. How may I please you?

There is a lot going on.

I know.

How are you? Are you feeling better?

I...

was not able to get the herbal tea.

Your Highest, Elder Mother needs water.

I think this traitor whore isn't telling me something.

I think she's with the government.

Really?

You think the government stopped the water?

That has to be it.

Joan, she's checking on the bills, but we've always paid...

They're fucking with us!

Wow... Your Highest.

And I can't talk to them because I can't find a phone.

You don't need to talk to them. That's what they want.

- It is? - Yes, they are crafty, but...

I don't think that this is their doing, Your Highest.

No?

Do you think this is the wrath of...

- Oh, no. - I... don't want to say it.

But the Raku is extremely mad at us.

Have you reconnected?

I keep getting interrupted.

You must reconnect, Your Highest.

Yeah... Okay, Ruth... Help me.

What do I do?

There must be sacrifices.

Here... You don't know what I had to go through to get that.

Yeah, and I don't even want to know.

What's in it?

I knew it. I know that smell.

That's death, River.

- Death? - Yeah. Take a look.

Come on, man.
