[Obadiah] So, you finally shot that traitor.

- I'm proud of you. - It wasn't me.

Ruth has quite the thirst for blood.

[River] Previously on Ruthless...

Your Highest, look at what the Raku has done to me.

It's the plague.

I know how to fix this.

We have to go, now.

You don't have a plan. Ruth has...

[River] Ruth has lost her mind.

[Ruth] For the Raku!

[The Highest] Praise to the Raku!

We're under graves.

- [rumbling] - [debris splintering]

[coughing]

He's got a pulse.

[Kal] Hey!

Can you hear me? Hey!

Can anyone hear me?

[man effort grunting]

Hey, you all right?

Yeah.

We have an injured agent down here.

Call first responders!

All right, hang tight. We'll get you out!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I thought I lost you for a second.

Not now, Kal.

We have to get out of here. [coughs]

Yeah.

- He's breathing slow. - [Kal] Shit.

[Desiree] On the surface, of course.

[suspensive music]

Kal?

Is that what I think it is?

What are we gonna do?

Pick it up!

Drink it up. Drink it up.

We're going to a better place.

We're going to a better place. Drink it up.

Drink it up. Drink it up.

Drink it up.

Stop!

[echoed] Stop!

Your Highest.

What's wrong?

What's happening?

I can't hear.

I've been trying everything all day.

I've tried to meditate.

I've tried to relax.

I've made sacrifices.

I told you, my love.

I only hear because of your son.

I can't hear the Raku.

Why am I being punished?

Your son is telling me that you need to make more sacrifices.

I've sacrificed an Agronyte.

I sacrificed Ruby.

What else do I need to do?

I can't hear them.

Okay, okay. All right.

Come on. Turn, turn, turn.

[groans]

[shushing]

Okay. Breathe.

Breathe in.

Breathe out. Good.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

I don't know if it's working.

Focus, Your Highest. Focus.

You'll get the messages from your son

the stronger he gets

and the older he gets

and the more that you become one with me.

I want to become one with you.

I want to become perfect.

[mysterious music]

Very good.

Don't break away.

I'm gonna get something for you.

- Now? - Yes.

I hope that's for me to use on you.

It is.

I want you to choke me.

Choke you?

Yeah.

Harder.

Harder.

Harder.

[moans]

Harder.

[choking, moans]

Kiss me.

[dramatic music]

Fuck this shit.

[dialing]

[Desiree] You've reached Agent Desiree Walton.

If this is an emergency, please call the central office.

I don't know whose phone this is,

but please, this is Agent Andrew Whiteside

trying to get in touch with Desiree Walton.

Okay?

We are in this Rakudushi compound.

It is about to go up in flames.

I need you to get somebody in here ASAP.

Okay? Please.

Call me back. Damn!

Whose phone is that?

The fuck is wrong with you? I don't have no phone!

[effort grunts]

[pained grunt]

[both grunting]

Shit!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing?

I need to see The Highest.

- Nobody sees The Highest. - You don't understand.

- I have to give him something. - No.

Move one more time and I'll shoot you in the face.

River, what's going on?

I found the phone, Your Highest.

You found the phone?

Andrew has it.

Where is Andrew?

I found him by the buses, talking to the FBI.

He's on the run.

I can't trust anyone.

It's a good night to cut off some hands.

[eerie music]

Agronytes.

It's a great night. I can feel it.

There is a rat in our midst.

We must find him.

He is smart.

He is cunning. He is persistent.

He is small.

But he is dangerous.

Find him.

Bring him to me alive.

We will protect you, Your Highest.

For the Raku.

For the Raku!

Guard my front porch as we go out.

Get some of the regular soldiers to help you.

More the merrier.

Yes, Your Highest.

- Manny. - Yes, Your Highest.

Take Sacred Mother to her trailer.

The smell of stench, death, she cannot sleep here.

When you are done, I want you to help look for Andrew.

You know him well.

Yes, Your Highest.

Your Highest, I'd like to go check on Elder Mother

and her plague.

No, Ruth.

We have a trained government killer on the loose.

I need you safe. Do not argue with me on this.

Go.

Yes, Your Highest.

[Manny] Come on.

Your Highest.

You're a little late, aren't you?

My apologies, Your Highest.

I only just found out about Andrew moments ago.

And why is that, Obadiah?

Well, Andrew's one of Dikhan's men.

I had my suspicions of him, but you seem very fond of him.

What?

You let Sacred Mother choose him

in the trials over one of my men.

So I backed off.

Yes?

I may not know what's going on with Dikhan's men,

but I know what's going on with the Agronytes.

And they're going to help us catch that rat.

Besides, I've got something more important to talk about.

I can't take any more bad news right now.

But Your Highest, this is important.

What is important

is I need to find Andrew and kill him tonight.

Yes, Your Highest.

Now let's go.

- Yes, Your Highest. - Find him tonight.

[ominous music]

[dialing]

[Desiree] You've reached Agent Desiree Walton.

If this is an emergency, please call the central office.

Desiree!

I don't know why you're not answering the phone,

but this is an emergency!

Look, I turn my phone off when I'm around him,

but I need you to hit me back!

Pick up the phone! It's an emergency!

Sacred Mother.

[Ruth] What are you? A ghost?

Maybe.

It's nice to finally see you in here.

You've been quite busy with The Highest.

Joan, don't start.

What? I'm just pointing out the facts.

You should stick to numbers.

Yeah, you're right. I'll consider it.

Did you figure out how to unfreeze the money?

What? What is that?

What is what?

Is that Ruth asking little pathetic me for help?

Joan, I'm asking for both of us.

Oh, right.

So now you need my help

when whatever you've got cooking up isn't working for you?

I am asking so that we can get out of here.

We, as in us, or just you?

Joan, I can't, I can't do this right now.

Oh, I can. [chuckles]

I mean I've been cooped up in here all day,

with no food, no water.

It is nice to finally have some company,

especially from someone who needs me.

Joan, now is not the time.

When is the time, Ruth?

Huh? When is it ever the right time to talk to you,

to know what's going on, to be in on your plans?

Right now, they are outside hunting Andrew down

for a phone.

- What? - Yes.

- There's another phone? Hmm. - Beats me.

Who knows the connections he still has?

And The Highest is hunting him down.

That's what I just said, Joan.

I just have to think.

I have to keep the heat off my back.

That's what I have to do.

Well, that's nothing new for you, Ruth.

Oh, shut up, Joan.

Don't you dare act like you're innocent, okay?

You lucky I didn't find nothing in that binder.

[chuckles] Oh, Ruth.

Do you think I'd be that obvious?

Oh, good Lord.

What to do? What to do?

The Lord ain't got nothing to do with this, Ruth.

Now that's something we both can agree on.

[tense music]

Fuck. Fuck this shit.

Gotta be something.

A knife or something.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this will work.

[Marva] ♪ We are living in the Raku way ♪

[chuckles] Why am I singing?

[murmuring happily]

This should be good,

since we don't have any water, eh?

[chokes] Ooh-hoo-hoo, that is strong!

[chuckles] Mmm.

Elder Mother.

[Marva] What are you doing here?

How did you get out of your trailer?

I used to work in the prison and me can escape from anywhere.

And what are you going to do about it?

Have you seen Andrew, Elder Mother?

No. Why?

It's none of your concern.

Boy, don't you come in me kitchen, disrespecting me.

Everything's on a need-to-know basis,

Elder Mother.

Well, he in me kitchen, and me need to know.

The Highest wants to see him.

But why would he be in me kitchen, eh?

To steal a midnight snack?

There's something I have to ask Andrew

when I see him, Elder Mother.

Well, me have not seen him today.

Me been in me trailer

trying to figure out how we're going to eat.

Okay. I'll look around.

There's no one in here, I tell you.

And me don't want you coming in here, messing up me kitchen.

You looked everywhere?

[Marva] Yes. Me the only one in here.

Did you check back there?

No. Me just come from back there.

Okay. I believe you.

Why would I lie to you, boy?

[chuckles] I know no one wants to be drinking alcohol with you.

What did you say, eh?

That you want to go to the punishment trailer?

[chuckles]

I'm not afraid of the punishment trailer.

But I know you are.

You're going to be there before me

if you keep on drinking that hooch.

Get out of me kitchen. Now!

Yes, Elder Mother.

[Marva grumbles]

I'm going to cut off his magic stick

and feed it to the hogs.

[ominous music]

What is all this?

That's what we're trying to figure out.

Agent Slomkowski.

We didn't know you'd be joining us.

- Surprised to see me? - A little.

How'd you make it out?

It wasn't with any of your help.

We were put right in the middle of that shit show.

We tried to tell you that Tyrone will kill everyone.

How did he even get military explosives?

We're trying to figure out how deep his connections go.

- How are you feeling? - Well, let's see.

I was almost blown up, I have continuous headaches,

and I had to relearn how to use my arm.

How do you think I'm feeling?

Let's just say I'm lucky to be alive.

Unlike these folks.

When I heard my agents

had fallen into mass graves with children in it,

I came running.

She's so small.

This man is a monster.

What, she has to be, what, 14, 15, maybe?

She was stabbed.

What could a young girl possibly have done to be stabbed?

That's what you're going to find out.

[Kal] How many bodies have been dug up?

So far, we have about 80 bodies with 10 of them being children.

Excuse me.

Hey.

You okay?

I just... There's kids over there, Kal.

I know.

He already blew up a little girl and now we find these bodies.

What's next?

What's next is we're going to get this asshole.

We have to tell them about Theresa.

I don't think we should do that yet.

They're going to find her body, Kal.

And we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

What are we going to say?

We'll say that she went on a mission

and she never came out.

We weren't supposed to let her out of our sight.

We sent her in to do a job.

And she knew the risks.

[Man] We have some more dead bodies over here.

Oh, shit. Is that Theresa?

Looks like we're going to have to cross that bridge right now.

Our jobs are already on the line, Desiree.

We have to.

Jesus, but we're so close.

[Man] Get over here, you two.

- What are we going to do? - Our jobs.

Come on.

[Man] Now!

What happened here?

He fell and hit his head when the tunnel collapsed.

Damn it. Another dead agent on our hands.

We shouldn't dig here anymore

in case there's another incident.

As soon as we get the other agents out, I'll move them.

Great.

And what are we going to do with these bodies?

That should be the last step, right?

We need to get back to the tunnel.

I disagree.

Excuse me?

Now that we have these bodies, we should be focusing on this.

- Focus on the bodies? - Yes.

Do you see how many there are and counting?

- [Desiree] I do. - That can take years.

I understand that, Agent Slomkowski.

But we have to make sure that...

You don't want to do the tunnels anymore, do you?

The tunnel wasn't my idea in the first place.

Special Agent Duncan is grasping at straws,

but who knew there'd be

a graveyard full of dead bodies in the woods?

[scoffs] So I guess the lesson here

is that listening to your superior is a good thing.

[Kal] I think Agent Walton is saying this should be our case.

Right here.

With these bodies, we got him.

We got him? We got him?

We don't even know how these people died.

This could have been allergies for all we know.

Or it could have been a series of accidents.

We have a lot of families that are claiming

their father's mother's children are in the Rakudushi camp.

What's your point, Walton?

My point is, if we can match these bodies

to those that are missing, we could do this the right way.

And what exactly is the right way?

Bring him in and prosecute him.

Especially for the children.

I want to be able to take down Tyrone

without any more bloodshed on our hands.

- On your hands? - Fine.

Whatever helps you sleep at night and gets the job done.

But we need to focus on this.

[Kal] We need something that will stick.

Something that will keep him behind bars forever.

And you think the answers are within these bodies?

I do, yes.

You want to bet your job on that?

My job is to take down Tyrone Luckett.

So, yes, I do bet my job on it.

Fine. Bring me something concrete,

we've been at this way too long.

Yeah.

Copy that.

[Slomkowski] And make it fast.

This really can't take years, Desiree.

We just have to identify some of the bodies

that maybe came from--

Part of a wealthy family or an elite family.

Exactly.

But how are we going to do that?

I have some files and folders in the car.

I could match some faces.

All right.

I'll start to look at the bodies.

Have forensic mark the ones with obvious wounds.

Gunshot wounds, stab wounds.

And then mark the ones with no obvious trauma.

- Got it. - You learn quick, Kal.

I learn from the best. What can I say?

You all right?

They're taking out more children.

They had the rest of their lives ahead of them.

This is why I never wanted kids.

Because you couldn't find the right one until me?

Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor.

Just trying to smile through the pain.

Out of all the cases we do,

the ones where children are hurt, they stay with me.

Can't get them out of my head.

I never knew that.

[Kal] That's because we just move on to the next case.

Children are innocent.

Defenseless.

And I knew that if I ever had children,

I'd be too worried to let them outside,

out into a world

where the monsters that we hunt and lock away lurk.

Hey.

We're going to get this asshole.

We're gonna bring down Tyrone.

We don't have any other choice.

[Kal] All right.

I'll start marking the bodies.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[insects chittering]

[bang]

- What are you doing? - Has he been in here?

- Who, Manny? - No, Andrew.

No. Why would Andrew be in here?

- He's hiding. - Hiding from what?

Hiding from me, from The Highest,

from everybody! Fuck.

River, River, talk, talk to me. What's going on?

He got me. He got me. Look at my face.

I need to find that fucking phone!

Yeah, I see, I see the face. What phone?

The Highest's phone.

Andrew has it.

I gotta get it back so I can get back in his good graces.

No, no, I thought you wanted to leave.

Yeah, I do.

But, right now, The Highest really wants to kill me.

So I need to get that phone back

so I can get back on his good side.

Did you ask Ruth what you should do?

Oh, my God. I'm sick of fucking Ruth

and her invisible fucking plan.

Okay?

Right now, that phone is my salvation.

I think that's what everyone's thinking about right now.

Just getting out, River.

That's it.

What? What's it?

- [laughs] Zane! - What?

Oh, that's it!

- I'll be back. - [Zane] No!

- You're gonna leave me alone. - I will come back for you.

I promise. Okay.

[light suspensive music]

[tense music]

Top soldiers, my ass.

[thrilling music]

[The Highest] Hello.

I'll take that phone now.

[music crescendos]

[music crescendos]

[Desiree] Melinda Abram.

Senator Abram's daughter.

I missed a lot.

[Ruth] Desiree!

I don't know why you're not answering the phone,

but this is an emergency!

Look, I turn my phone off when I'm around him,

but I need you to hit me back. Pick up the phone!

[Andrew] This is my fifth time calling.

I don't know whose phone this is,

but I really need to speak with Agent Walton immediately.

Shit.

[light mysterious music]

[phone ringing]

What's that?

Where is it?

Hello?

[Desiree] Ruth. Hello, Ruth?

No, this is, this is Joan.

Joan, where's Ruth?

Is this the FBI?

[Desiree] It is.

Look, they have us locked in our trailers.

Ruth is somewhere running a muck,

and I don't know what's going on.

Okay, wait, wait, wait. Slow down.

Is she okay?

Is she okay?

None of us are okay!

Our lives are in danger every single second.

Is she alive?

[Joan] As far as I know, yeah.

How do you have this phone if you're locked up?

[scoffs] Because Ruth gets to roam around

more than the rest of us outside.

[Desiree] I see.

Look, please.

If you're really the FBI, I want to get out of here.

There is no food, there's no water.

Look, if they keep this up, we're all going to die.

Joan, I know of you.

You do?

[Desiree] Yes.

I was working with Aaron to find

your friend and ex-co-worker, Laura.

Oh, right.

Oh, poor Laura.

I'm sorry to hear what happened to her.

- [Desiree] You know? - Yeah.

Only that she's, she's dead.

She was shot. Caught in the crossfire.

Yeah.

Right. It's unfortunate.

Laura was a good,

good person.

Did you bring Laura there to help you launder money, Joan?

[Joan] What? No! Wait!

Absolutely not!

- [Desiree] If you did, you can-- - I did not.

I swear!

Joan, I'm not trying to accuse you of any crimes.

The money is the least of my worries right now.

Well, what are your worries?

[Desiree] To take down Tyrone Luckett

without any more bloodshed.

I think you could help me with that.

[chuckles] And what is it that you think I can do?

You're the accountant for the Rakudushis, correct?

Would, um,

would saying yes get me in trouble?

You're being held against your will.

I understand that you have to do whatever is asked of you.

But I promise you, Joan, if you help me, I will help you.

I was hoping you would say that.

What did you have in mind?

I know that you have locked Ruth's bank account.

And how do you know that?

How do you think she got that account set up?

[Desiree] You transferred the money from your account to hers.

Wait, what? No.

How do you know that?

Focus, Joan.

Are you asking me to unfreeze the account?

We need that money to get out of here.

I just don't know if I can do that, Joan.

What? You just said that you understood me.

And that money is evidence.

[Joan] We worked hard to get that money.

We need that. Please.

If I unfreeze that account,

how can you help me take down Tyrone?

- The Highest? - [Desiree] Yes. The Highest.

Well, what... what can I do?

Do you keep a record of the books, Joan?

I do.

I need all of that, all of those files, Joan,

all the bank accounts.

Uh. [chuckles nervously] Uh, uh, mm. Mm-mm.

[Desiree] What is it, Joan?

It's, it's a lot.

Like, how would I even get these files to you?

- Huh? - I will figure that out.

I just need you to gather the information.

Can you do that?

I think so.

I need you to be sure, Joan.

Okay, yes.

Yes, yes, I can. I can help, I can help.

[Desiree] Okay. Good.

Call to check in.

I want to make sure everything's okay with you.

Okay, but, listen, I won't be able

to get to do anything until they let us out.

- I understand. - [Joan] Okay.

All right, thank you.

[Desiree] Kal!

What's up?

I just got off the phone with Joan Williams,

- the accountant. - Really?

What'd she say?

She said they're locked in the trailers like dogs.

What?

Complaining about no food and water, of course,

- but do you think we should-- - No.

No, I know what you're thinking.

We have to sell Tyrone out.

I just didn't think they'd lock 'em away.

Expect the unexpected with this guy.

I don't want them to die.

They won't.

You know, he actually believes the Raku

will provide everything they need.

He will learn quickly that he is just a man.

I hope so.

But Joan said she's willing to help.

By doing what?

I told her I need all the records,

all the bank accounts, everything.

So now we have bodies and we could possibly have

- how he launders his money. - Exactly.

Go back into the cartel.

And potentially hit him with a RICO charge.

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll, baby.

But, she wants us to unfreeze Ruth's bank account.

Desiree, you're making promises you know we can't keep.

Look, we have to do and say whatever we need to

to make sure we have help inside.

I say we unfreeze the account.

You really think that's a good idea?

I believe that if they believe they have the money,

they'll do whatever they can to help our case.

All right.

Yeah. Your call.

Yeah. I say we unfreeze

the account in the morning and let them know.

Whatever you say, Agent Walton.

What's going on down here?

The ones with the orange tags

have no visible trauma or cause of death.

- And the yellow tags? - Yeah.

You can pretty much guess how they died.

There's a lot of yellow tags.

Gunshot wounds, head trauma.

Some of their faces are unrecognizable.

Gruesome.

[Desiree] I just saw her.

What?

Melinda Abram, Senator Abram's daughter.

[dramatic sting]

[music]
