Dikahn, he's the devil.

Well, he's just met his match.

Narrator: Previously on "Ruthless"...

Marva: She must be punished.

Sarah: He was here.

Mack: Does he know that Andrew's FBI?

Dikahn: There is something that you're hiding.

Brian: She asked if you were having an affair.

- What did you say? - What was I supposed to say?

- Supposed to say no. - We gave her a tattoo

like you so you can disappear from your life.

Brian: Either he's in, or he's one hell of an actor.

You do know you were drugged?

Lynn: So what? Marva: Take this

and kill her.

[Crying] Please, you do not have to do this.

Marva: Who told you to speak?! Shut up!

You are a deserter, and you don't deserve your life!

E-Elder Mother--

Marva: Do it! Ruth: Uh, what is this?

Marva: This is the way of the Rakumas.

Ruth: Elder Mother, this is-- Marva: Honey,

you are an Elder now,

and you must do what has to be done.

But this is--this is--

Marva: You can't do it?

Ruth: I--I just thought-- Marva: Shall I tell

The Highest you can't do it?

[Whispers] No.

Marva: Are you sure?

Yes.

Marva: Then do it.

OK.

Marva: Don't be nervous.

I was the same when it was my first time.

I'm sorry.

[Niecy wailing] No! Please don't!

You don't have to do this!

You don't have to do this!

Marva: Shut up! Go on! Niecy: No! No! No!

Marva: More! More!

[Niecy gasping and screaming]

Marva: That's it! Come on!

Niecy: It burns!

[Screaming and crying]

Marva: You will get used to it!

[Screaming continues]

[Ruth coughs]

Mmm. [Clears throat]

Marva: That was really good.

It will get easier.

Ruth: But why did that have to be done?

Marva: Are you questioning The Highest?

[Ruth panting]

No.

If someone offends thee,

you offend them.

This is the way of the Rakumas.

[Ruth sighs] Yes, Elder Mother.

Enough of this. Come along. Let us get to the kitchen.

[Quietly] Yes, Elder Mother.

Marva: And I promise you, child,

it'll be for your good and for the good of the Rakudushis.

Ruth: I understand. Marva: We can't let people say

all kinds of things against us.

Ruth: I know we can't. Marva: Next thing you know,

they'll be trying to get in here and put us all to death.

[Niecy crying] Ruth: No way.

Marva: Yes, that's right.

No way.

We can't let that happen!

That's right.

Marva: Oh.

[Niecy crying and screaming]

Marva: You are such a pretty girl.

Come along.

Niecy: Aah!

It burns!

[Birds chirping]

Tally: Hi.

Ruth: Hi.

Are you OK?

What do you--you mean?

You look sick.

I'm fine.

What happened?

Nothing.

Um...

Ruth: What?

[Whispers] She tested you?

No.

Ruth?

Ruth: I--I got it. I got it.

[Whispers] What did she do?

Ruth: Niecy.

What about her?

Ruth: She made me pour acid on her face.

Tally: What?

Ruth: And she gave her a tattoo like mine.

She's dead.

Ruth: What?

They're gonna kill her.

Why?

They sacrifice the weak for the Elders.

Ruth: What are you talking about?

Tally: She's still having drug issues.

She's your size.

They make our families think that we've...disappeared

by telling them that we're dead.

Ruth: So how can that work?

They'll just...

they'll show the tattoo,

and then she'll show up as a Jane Doe.

But DNA is--

Tally: No, the families, they always believe it.

They never ask for it.

I can't believe I poured acid on her.

Ruth.

You're always telling me to calm down. Now you do the same.

Ruth: I know, I know, I know.

Tally: They're gonna be watching you.

Ruth: I know.

Tally: So you have to act like nothing happened.

Ruth: I know.

Tally: Ruth. Ruth: I got it. I got it.

I just wonder how she's doing.

Tally: No, you can't.

Ruth: I know. Tally: Ruth.

Ruth: How many times do I have to tell you that I got it?

Marva: How was your bath?

The Highest: It was good.

Marva: Leave us.

The Highest: No.

I want them to stay.

Marva: Yes, Your Highest.

The Highest: How did she do?

Marva: Mmm, it was hard for her.

The Highest: Did she do it?

Marva: Yes. The Highest: Good.

Marva: I think she's learning.

The Highest: Can I trust her?

Marva: Yes, we can.

The Highest: I want to.

Marva: You are The Highest.

You know if you can or you can't.

The Highest: Hmm.

Just not feeling like that today.

Marva: You have really been bothered these last two days.

What can I do for you?

The Highest: It was the visit.

Marva: The sheriff?

The Highest: Yes. Marva: Oh.

It's OK.

The Highest: Hmm. I don't feel like it is.

Marva: Look at me.

You are fine. We are fine.

The Highest: I feel it spiritually.

They're trying to kill us all.

Marva: We won't let that happen.

The Highest: I know. I know.

Marva: We won't.

The Highest: Leave us, soldiers.

You are so strong.

So strong.

[Door creaks]

[Door closes]

We need to get someone in the sheriff's office.

Marva: Well, there is this deputy

that I have met from time to time.

The Highest: Yes?

Marva: He's not the sharpest pencil in the box.

The Highest: Can we get to him? Marva: Yes.

I can send Melinda.

The Highest: Is she ready? Marva: Yes.

The Highest: You know, I thought Tally was ready, but she wasn't.

Marva: I know, but she's getting better.

The Highest: You know, these women are your responsibility.

Marva: Yes, I'm sorry if I failed you, Your Highest.

- And when you fail me... - I fail the Rakumas.

- You fail the mission. - I'm sorry, Your Highest.

The Highest: Can we get her inside?

- Yes. - And she won't betray us?

Marva: She's a lowly servant.

The Highest: OK.

Marva: Shall I do it? The Highest: Yes, quickly.

Marva: Yes, Your Highest.

The Highest: Now leave me. I want to meditate.

Marva: Yes, Your Highest.

[Door opens, closes]

[Line rings]

[Cell phone vibrating]

Hi.

Hi.

Dikahn: Have you thought about joining us?

Lynn: I just wanted to...talk to you.

Sure.

Lynn: Can I tell you something?

Anything.

I haven't been happy

for a long time.

Dikahn: Yes, I can sense that.

How?

Dikahn: Most people who come here are not happy

for a long time, but when they get here,

their lives open up.

How?

Dikahn: You experienced him.

He's incredible.

I was drugged.

Dikahn: You were freed.

Lynn: Well, I just--

Dikahn: Why are you calling? Lynn: Because I don't--

Dikahn: If you're not happy, change your life.

Lynn: I want to, OK, but--

But what?

Lynn: My husband.

Dikahn: Is he abusive?

No, uh...

he's a great man.

Dikahn: Then what is the issue? [Lynn sighs]

I don't want to hurt him.

Dikahn: Sometimes, in order to be free,

we have to put ourselves first.

Lynn: That's hard

with my parents.

Tell me about them.

Lynn: I come from a wealthy family

and, uh, my parents just...

Are you a trust fund baby?

Lynn: No, I'm my own woman.

Dikahn: I didn't mean to offend.

Lynn: I'm just... I'm just confused

'cause all my life, I've just always done

what everyone else wanted me to do, and I...

Dikahn: Just want to do something for yourself.

I just...um...

May I ask a favor?

What?

Dikahn: If I asked The Highest to let you

come for a weekend, would you do that?

Lynn: I... I don't know how.

Dikahn: Make some excuses, and come and see what it's like.

And if you hate it, you can go back.

And if I love it?

Dikahn: Then look forward by joining us.

Lynn: That sounds very tempting.

Dikahn: Tell him you need to get away and come.

Lynn: He'll know I'm lying.

How will he know that?

Lynn: 'Cause he's good at it.

Dikahn: Oh.

Lynn: He's trained at it.

Dikahn: Well, what does he do?

Lynn: He's a psychologist.

Oh. What's his name?

Malcolm.

Dikahn: Well... you should think about it.

Yeah, I will.

OK.

Lynn: In the meanwhile-- Dikahn: No.

Lynn: What?

You were going to ask for our special sauce.

Lynn: Hmm.

It is amazing.

Dikahn: If you come,

you'll have a much better time.

Just think about it.

I have to go.

Marva: Melinda? Melinda: Yes, Elder Mother?

Marva: Come with me. Melinda: Yes, Elder Mother.

Tally: Wonder what that was about.

Ruth: I don't know.

Tally: Ruth?

Ruth, whispering: Yeah? Tally: I'm sorry.

Ruth: For what?

Tally: For pushing you earlier.

Ruth: Tally, the sisters are here, OK?

Tally, whispering: I know that it's a lot.

Ruth: Yeah...and you--

Tally: So work through it. Ruth: So let me do that.

Tally: OK.

Marva: Hello.

Melinda: Hello.

Marva: Disrobe.

Come closer.

You are beautiful.

Melinda: Thank you.

Marva: And I must tell you,

when I was your age,

mine sat up that high, too.

Melinda: Well-- Marva: It's a compliment, dear.

Melinda: Yes. Thank you.

Marva: Do I make you nervous?

Melinda: I just want to please you and The Highest.

Marva: Oh, that's wonderful.

Melinda: I do.

Marva: Well, here's your chance.

There's a deputy named Billy Poke.

I'll be right back.

Marva: Here, dear.

Put these on.

Melinda: Really?

Marva: Yes.

You are to do the work

of the Rakumas.

Melinda: OK.

Marva: Yes, this is fine.

Put this on.

Melinda: Yes, Elder Mother.

Marva: And here is some devil's brew.

Melinda: What's devil's brew?

Marva: Well, some people call it perfume, but I call it brew,

to get the devil after you. [Chuckling]

Melinda: Yes, Elder Mother.

Marva: You are to go into the sheriff's station

and tell them that you left your boyfriend

and ask them to help you.

Melinda: OK.

Marva: And you are to do whatever you have to

to get them to trust you.

Melinda: Yes, Elder Mother.

Marva: We are counting on you.

Melinda: I won't let you down.

Marva: The Highest is counting on you.

Melinda: Yes.

Marva: Ah.

[Melinda sniffling] Marva: Don't cry.

You will do well.

Melinda: This is such an honor.

Marva: You will do well. You will.

Come on.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Brian: Good morning. Irene: Good morning.

Brian: How are you? Irene: I am good.

I made coffee.

Brian: Thank you.

Irene: You haven't tasted it yet.

Brian: Heh! Is the sheriff in?

Irene: No, he has dialysis on Wednesdays.

Um, I--I didn't know.

Irene: Yeah. Diabetes is a terrible thing.

So...how long are you staying?

Brian: I don't understand.

Irene: You seem too slick to be a deputy.

Brian: Slick? Irene: Yeah.

I mean, folks like you, they come in from

the big city, looking to build their résumé

and then, you know, they go off on something else.

Brian: Well, I'm here for the long haul.

Irene: Oh. Poke: How long is the long haul?

Brian: As long as it takes.

Poke: You're not gonna be sheriff.

Brian: Oh, no? Irene: Give it a rest.

Poke: What? No. He comes in here out of nowhere--

Irene: You know, there's a lady up front that needs help.

Why don't you go help her?

Poke: I'm just saying.

[Irene scoffs]

Irene: Don't mind him. Brian: Heh! I don't.

Irene: So, when do I get to meet your wife?

Brian: My wife? Irene: Yeah.

The sheriff said you were married.

Oh, uh, yeah, my--my wife.

Um, yeah, you'll meet her soon.

Irene: OK. Well, great.

Um, here.

Brian: What's this?

Irene: There are several apartments that are close by.

The sheriff said you were looking.

Brian: How much did he tell you about me?

Irene: He tells everything.

Brian: Good to know.

[Sighs]

Mack: Hi.

Sarah: Hi.

- I thought I was-- - Cut the shit.

Mack: OK.

Sarah: I thought about what you said.

Mack: About?

Sarah: That they could have altered his photo.

Mack: Yes. Sarah,

these people are con artists.

Sarah: I love him.

Mack: I know you do.

Sarah: I want him out of there.

Mack: We're doing that. Sarah: When? [Sighs]

Mack: Sarah, here's the issue. Sarah: What? What?

Mack: We don't know if he's in

or undercover.

Well, has he checked in?

Mack: No, he has not. Sarah: Then he is with them.

Mack: What if they were just keeping a watchful eye on him?

Sarah: I don't care.

Mack: His last report,

they said that they were close

and that he might have to close the line.

[Sarah scoffs]

So basically you're telling me you're doing nothing.

Mack: That's not what I'm saying.

Sarah: That's what it sounds like to me.

Mack: Sarah, I'm saying--

Sarah: You know what? Go to hell.

Oh, yeah,

you don't have to do anything.

I know where he is.

Mack: You are not to go up there.

Sarah: Watch me. Mack: I promise you,

if you go up there,

he will die.

Sarah: I just want to know that he is OK.

I know,

but you can't go up there.

Sarah: OK.

Mack: Sarah.

Sarah: OK. Mack: Sarah!

[Sighs]

[Line rings]

[Cell phone vibrates]

[Whispering] Yes?

Hey.

I'm gonna put a car on Sarah.

What's going on?

Mack: I think she may be headed your way.

You can't let her do that.

I know that. I just wanted you to know.

What is she saying?

Mack: She's saying that she wants him to come home.

Brian: Let me know if she heads this way.

Mack: I will. Brian: I'm gonna head up there.

Mack: What?

Brian: Yeah. Mack: Why?

Brian: Just to let them know I have some follow-up questions.

You don't have any backup.

No, it's--that's fine. Mack: Look, let me

just send some backup, just in case.

Brian: We need to catch them off-guard.

Mack: Look, I know that.

Isn't that what you put me here for?

Just let me send some backup just in case.

Brian: Mack, they will all get spooked.

They know every car in this town.

They have people all over, watching everything here.

Mack: OK. OK.

I'll call you once I'm clear.

[Sighs] OK.

We'll talk later.

Sure.

[Sighs]

Malcolm: Hey. Hey, excuse me.

Sarah: I ain't got nothing to say to you.

Malcolm: Listen, Sarah, let me talk to you for a second.

Sarah: What do you want? Malcolm: Now, look,

I know you're upset. Let me just talk to you.

Sarah: No.

Malcolm: This place has eyes and ears. Can you come here?

Sarah: What? Malcolm: Why are you so hostile?

Sarah: What do you want? Malcolm: No, calm down first.

Sarah: You know what? I don't have time for this--

Malcolm: No, no, no, no, no. Don't leave.

What?

Malcolm: Look, I'm sorry, OK? I didn't mean it.

I don't care.

Yes, you do.

No, I don't.

And you should talk to your wife.

She told me that she thinks you're cheating on her.

Yeah. I heard she's been asking a few people.

I don't want to have anything to do with this.

You do have something to do with this.

No.

You, you have something to do with this.

Whatever we have, it's over, OK?

Malcolm: No, no. Babe, babe, I said I'm sorry.

Sarah: It's fine.

Malcolm: I shouldn't have said what I said to you.

Sarah: It's fine.

[Malcolm scoffs] No. No.

It's not.

[Sarah sighs] Malcolm: Babe.

Sarah: Hey. Malcolm: I'm in love with you.

You don't get it.

Sarah: I'm in love with my husband.

Malcolm: Sarah, please. Sarah: And you should be in love

with your wife, OK? Malcolm: Babe.

Sarah: All right. Malcolm: I really love you.

Sarah: Hey, uh,

just--all right, uh...

Malcolm: I want to see you.

Sarah: OK, stop touching me, please.

Malcolm: Babe, don't you want to see me?

Sarah: No, it's--I can't. Malcolm: Why not?

[Sarah scoffs] My husband, your wife.

Malcolm: Your husband is gone.

Sarah: Wait. What are you talking about?

Malcolm: I--I'll tell you tonight.

Sarah: No, you tell me now.

Malcolm: I--I can't talk here, all right?

Let me just see you at home.

Sarah: You think I'm stupid?

Malcolm: No.

Sarah: Then what the hell did you mean?

Malcolm: I'll tell you tonight. That's all I'm saying.

Sarah: You know, you're not coming tonight.

Malcolm: Yes, look. Baby, I'll come by at 7:00.

Sarah: I'm not playing these games with you, OK?

- You know what? - I'll come by at 7:00, OK?

Sarah: Move. Move out of my way.

Malcolm: I'll come by at 7:00.

Sarah: If you don't move, I am going to make a scene. Move up.

Malcolm: Is that a yes? Sarah: Can you please move?

Malcolm: Is that a yes? Sarah: Move.

[Phone rings]

Yeah?

[Sighs]

Yeah, I'll be right there. [Hangs up phone]

[Knock on door]

Mack: Yeah. Malcolm: Yeah?

Mack: I need you to follow Sarah.

Malcolm: What? Mack: Yeah.

I think she's going to the cult.

What?

[Scoffs]

Yeah. Malcolm: Why?

I think she wants to go talk to Andrew.

- OK. I'm on it. - Hey, don't let that happen.

- Yeah, sure. - And don't let her know

you're tailing her. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it.

[Door opens]

Cynthia: Hello?

Hi. Sorry.

Lynn: Don't you knock?

Cynthia: I did. Lynn: Damn.

Cynthia: What's wrong with you?

Nothing.

Cynthia: You sure?

Lynn: I'm fine.

Cynthia: OK, good 'cause I got drama.

[Lynn sighs]

Cynthia: It's Malcolm. Lynn: Cynthia--

Cynthia: Oh, wait. I need wine.

Um...

Lynn: It is the middle of the day.

Cynthia: What is your point?

Lynn: I guess that I really don't have a point.

Cynthia: He is driving me up the damn wall.

Lynn: What did he do now?

Cynthia: Never mind.

You don't want to hear about it.

You know what we should do? Lynn: What's that?

Cynthia: We should go to lunch with Sarah.

Lynn: Who is that?

Cynthia: So Sarah's going through a lot.

Her husband's undercover, too.

Lynn: Wait. Do I know her?

Cynthia: I don't think you met her yet,

but I think you all would get along.

Lynn: OK.

Cynthia: All right.

So I'm gonna call her now,

all right?

Lynn: You know, I'm--I'm not really in the mood to--

Cynthia: Come on. You got to get out of this house.

[Lynn sighs] I'm fine.

What is wrong with you?

Lynn: Nothing, nothing.

Cynthia: All right, are you going through

some sort of depression or something?

Lynn: I'm fine.

Cynthia: Well, then get up.

We're going to lunch.

Lynn: You will not take no for an answer, mm-mmm.

Cynthia: Nope. No, I won't.

Lynn: OK, OK. Cynthia: All right. Atta girl.

Lynn: I'm getting dressed. Cynthia: Good.

And I need you to drive, too, 'cause this is my second glass.

Lynn: You mean your second bottle.

[Cynthia snickers] Shut up. Heh!

- I'm just telling the truth. - Just hurry up.

[Line rings]

Cynthia: Hey, Sarah. Sarah: Hey.

Cynthia: How you doing? Sarah: I'm OK.

Cynthia: Listen, let's go to lunch.

Sarah: I can't. Cynthia: Why not?

Sarah: I just have something to do.

Cynthia: Oh, what are you doing?

Sarah: I will call you later.

Cynthia: Sarah, what you doing?

Sarah: I will call you later.

Cynthia: Oh, well, you'll be missed.

I really wanted you to meet my cousin.

Sarah: I will call you when I get back, OK? Another time.

Cynthia: Back from where? Where you going?

Sarah: Cynthia.

Oh, oh, you can't tell me. OK, I'm sorry. OK.

Sarah: I'll call you later.

Cynthia: OK, all right. Bye.

Poke: Hi. Can I help you?

Melinda: Hi.

Um...my name is Melinda Sams.

Poke: Yes?

Melinda: And, um...

I would like to report my boyfriend.

Poke: Uh, what's he doing?

Melinda: He's, um, he's stalking me.

Poke: OK.

Melinda: Is there somewhere private we could talk?

Poke: Uh, yeah. Come on.

Melinda: Thank you.

Poke: Can I get you a glass of water or something?

Melinda: No, just you being here makes me feel safe.

Poke: Well...

Have a seat.

Melinda: Thank you.

Poke: Sure.

[Sighs]

Melinda: You're such a gentleman.

Poke: Thank you. What's his name?

Melinda: It's, uh... I'm sorry.

Poke: What?

Melinda: No, no.

Poke: Nothing will happen to you.

Melinda: No, I--I should go. Poke: No, no.

Please, tell me. Talk to me.

Melinda: It's just that I--I just moved here.

I don't even have a place to stay.

I've been sleeping in my car.

Poke: Have you? Melinda: Yeah.

Poke: Is it that bad?

Melinda: I got away from him.

He'll never find me here.

Poke: Are you sure there's nothing we can do?

Look, I don't want any trouble.

Poke: I understand that, but...

Melinda: But...a friend would be nice.

A friend?

Yeah, like maybe I could have your personal cell phone number?

Poke: Um...s-sure.

Melinda: Thanks.

If he finds me, I--I just don't know what--

Poke: Well, I can't let you live in a car.

Melinda: No, I--I think I'll be fine.

Poke: No, no, no. Where are you parked?

Melinda: Over on Basket.

Poke: Listen, I know some people in town,

and they have rooms and they can take you in.

Melinda: Mmm, I don't trust too many people.

Poke: You seem to trust me.

Melinda: It's 'cause you're a deputy.

[Poke sighs] And I can help you.

I think just your number would be fine.

Poke: OK.

Melinda: Thank you.

Poke: Are you hungry?

Melinda: Yeah, I am.

Poke: Well, it is my lunch break, and, uh...

my treat.

Come on.

Lynn: I really don't feel like, uh, going.

Cynthia: I can tell. It took you long enough.

Lynn: I just want to stay home. Cynthia: It's fine.

She says she can't make it anyway.

Lynn: Good.

[Sighs]

[Sets down purse]

Cynthia: I really wanted you to meet her, though.

Look, I don't want to meet any more wives,

OK, who deal with this.

Cynthia: Want to meet a husband?

Lynn: What? [Cynthia giggles]

You know, Jeff. He's married to a dude.

- What are you talking about? - I mean, he's a nice guy.

What are you doing?

Cynthia: I'm trying to introduce you

to our support group.

Well, I don't want to be a part of any support group.

So what you want to do? You want to just sit around here

and mope all day? Lynn: No, I'm leaving.

Cynthia: Where you going?

Lynn: I'm leaving Brian.

Cynthia: Whoa, whoa, wait. What?

[Lynn sighs] Yeah.

Wait. Is he cheating?

Lynn: Why does it have to always be someone's cheating?

Cynthia: I just want to know.

Lynn: No, he's not cheating. He's...

I just--I don't want to be with him anymore,

OK, so...

[Sighs]

Cynthia: Lynn?

Lynn: What?

I'ma tell you right now,

this is some bullshit.

Lynn: What? What are you talking about?

Cynthia: You're using again. Lynn: I am not.

- Yes, you are, yes, you are... - No, I'm not.

Cynthia: and now you're talking about leaving.

Lynn: Because I'm not happy, OK? I'm not.

Cynthia: If you're not happy, then go see a counselor, Lynn.

Lynn: I'm not hearing this, all right,

and I don't want to stay in this.

Cynthia: Lynn. Lynn: You know what?

Go.

Cynthia: Really?

Lynn: Leave.

Cynthia: Are you for real?

Lynn: I said go.

Cynthia: No.

Lynn: Fine.

Lynn, where you going?

Lynn!

How this bitch gonna walk out of her own house?

The hell?

Ruth, whispering: Niecy?

Dikahn: She's dead.

Ruth: Oh. Dikahn.

Dikahn: What are you doing back here?

Ruth: I was trying to see if--

Dikahn: Trying to see if she is OK?

Ruth: Yes.

Dikahn: You know that's against the rules.

Ruth: I'm sorry. I have a conscience.

Dikahn: Are you disrespecting me?

Ruth: No, no. I swear I'm not.

Dikahn: Leave.

Ruth: Yes, Dikahn.

Dikahn: Ruth.

Ruth: Hold me.

Dikahn: Get away from me.

Ruth: I've--I've never hurt anyone before.

Please?

Dikahn: Ruth. Ruth: Hold me, hold me.

Dikahn: Let me go.

[Ruth gasps]

Oh...

that's why you can't hold me.

Dikahn: Let me go.

Ruth: I'm-- I'm carrying your child.

Just make love to me. Please? Please?

Dikahn: You are carrying the child of The Highest.

Ruth: Hold me.

Dikahn: Mmm.

Melinda: Thanks. I just didn't want to go into that restaurant.

Poke: No, I understand.

Melinda: You have a nice place.

Poke: Thanks, but, uh, I don't call this place nice.

Melinda: Well, I do.

Poke: If you say so.

Melinda: I do.

Poke: You want something to drink?

Melinda: No, I just want your company.

Poke: Excuse me?

Melinda: Sorry.

It's just been a long time since

a man has been so nice to me.

Poke: That's a shame. Melinda: Yeah.

Are you single?

Poke: Yeah.

Melinda: How's that possible?

Poke: I don't understand.

Melinda: Me, either.

You're such a kind man.

Poke: All the girls in this town, they think

I'm a bit of a joke.

Melinda: Are you kidding me?

Poke: No, I'm not.

Melinda: But you're no joke to me.

You are my hero.

Poke: Well, thank you.

Melinda: And thanks for the burger.

Poke: Was it pretty good? Melinda: Yes. Thank you.

Poke: You're welcome.

Melinda: Well, I've taken up too much of your time.

Poke: No, no, no, no, please, don't go.

Melinda: Just so embarrassed.

Poke: There's no need for that.

Melinda: Thank you.

Poke: You're safe now.

Melinda: Will you keep me safe?

Poke: That is my job.

Melinda: Mmm.

Poke: Wait.

Melinda: What?

Poke: This is moving fast.

Melinda: That's because you're from this small town.

[Melinda chuckling]

[Zipper unzips]

[Melinda giggling] Poke: Mmm.

Melinda: Mmm.

Poke: Ohh! [Melinda chuckling]

[Poke grunts]

[Dikahn panting]

Ruth: I'm sorry.

Dikahn: You know what you've done?

Ruth: I didn't mean to do anything.

Dikahn: Why did you do that? Ruth: I--I...

I'm sorry.

Dikahn: You just don't get it. You--

Ruth: Dikahn. Dikahn: Shut up!

Ruth: Yes, Dikahn.

Dikahn: Uh... [panting]

I can't do this. I have to stay pure.

Ruth: I'm sorry. I don't mean to be the cause--

Dikahn: Cover your head!

Ruth: Yes. I'm sorry.

I--I don't mean to be the cause of pain.

Dikahn: You can't help yourself. You're a woman.

Ruth: Please don't be angry with me.

Dikahn: You really should stop talking right now.

Ruth: I love you.

Dikahn: What?

Ruth: I do. I love you.

I can't help but watch you and stare at you and--

Dikahn: You are evil.

You are evil.

Ruth: The Rakumas teach us that love is not evil.

How can that be evil?

Dikahn: Shut up. Stop.

Ruth: We are taught that there are no boundaries in love,

no gender, no sex.

No? Am I not telling you the truth?

[Dikahn panting]

You're a bad person.

Ruth: Please don't say that. Dikahn: Why did you do that?

Ruth: I--I don't know what came over me.

[Dikahn sniffs] You are evil.

Ruth: No, no. Dikahn: You are.

Yes, you are. Ruth: No.

Dikahn: We're not to do that

unless The Highest has coronation.

Ruth: I know, but I think-- Dikahn: No buts.

Ruth: Please, please.

Dikahn: I shall have you punished.

Ruth: No. Please don't.

Dikahn: What's wrong with you?

Ruth: It's you.

You are so special

and--and so beautiful, and--and I--

Dikahn: You are wicked.

Ruth: I am in love with you.

[Dikahn sighs] Ruth: I'm--I'm sorry.

Dikahn: I could lose everything.

- Well, I didn't realize that. - Sure you did.

You are the enemy of the Rakumas.

Ruth: I am in love with you.

Dikahn: You don't even know me.

Ruth: I know you like me.

Dikahn: You would be wrong.

Ruth: I know you do.

Dikahn: I should kill you.

Ruth: No. Oh, no.

And I should be great telling you the truth,

but I won't 'cause I...

Dikahn: Ruth.

Ruth: I--I...

If I have to be punished, then do it.

But I will still love you,

and I will still want you

and I will still...

Dikahn: Don't you say another word.

Marva: What is going on here?
