and is intended for mature audiences.
Viewer discretion is advised.
Is this the Rakudushis?
You wanna join?
Previously on Ruthless.
Feels like we're walking into the gates of heaven.
You're FBI.
Is this how they kill people?
How strange.
Dikahn has no control over his men.
I'm livin' to hit, it beats prison, any day.
Shut up!
Aah! What did you do?
I'm losing my confidence in you.
Elder Mother is putting drugs in his food.
I get so happy with the Elder Mother's cooking.
What's it like to live here, honestly?
Honestly?
Prepare for war.
This place is paradise.
And I will drink to that.
They have us all chained up in here.
We have to get out of here.
I came here undercover, but then I fell in love.
How much do you love me?
I'll do anything.
Kill one of them.
We can still get this money.
We need millions.
He lets me fix his heroin. I can kill him.
Let's talk about cults.
This man right here? Marshall Applewhite.
And this woman, Bonnie Nettles.
They created a cult called Heaven's Gate.
Applewhite was rumored to be gay.
But rather than to accept it,
he decided to teach his followers
that there was no sex.
The group decided to take on the same look,
so that they would not be defined by gender.
This started in 1974.
And in 1997,
the San Diego Sheriff Department received a call
that 39 members committed suicide...
In order to reach a comet that they believed
was a sign from God.
They followed Applewhite and his teachings to the death.
This actually happened.
And then there's this guy.
Jim Jones of Peoples Temple.
He was a cult leader who started off
as a preacher and activist.
Had thousands of followers in San Francisco.
During that time, he was arrested for a lewd act
with an undercover male police officer
in a movie theatre.
His people still followed him.
Both male and female members
were forced to have sex with him.
And yet...
They still followed him.
He later convinced his congregation...
Many of them poor, black, and brown...
To follow him to a place that he called
Paradise to Jonestown.
They sold all that they had to endure rape, torture,
horrible living conditions, and excruciating labor camps.
What they found was hell.
Jim Jones told them that he was Jesus,
and they believed him.
He took them deep into the jungle of Guyana,
and all they found was hell.
Congressman Leo Ryan...
Received so many complaints from family members
that he decided to...
Go to Guyana and see for himself.
The visit went smooth,
until he was about to leave.
Members were slipping him notes.
They wanted to leave.
He attempted to take several members with him.
When Jim Jones found out, he was furious.
Congressman Ryan was killed that day.
Gunned down at the airstrip.
This was the beginning of the end.
Jim Jones convinced over 900 people to drink poison.
This was the site of the worst mass suicide in history.
Babies, mothers.
Children, entire families.
I don't know why people choose to blindly follow
this kind of people.
But what I do know...
Is that this is still happening every day.

When Jim Jones' body was found,
it was under a sign that read:
"Those who do not remember the past
are condemned to repeat it."
We don't want this to happen.
Which brings me to why we are here today.
Tyrone Manuel Luckett.
He has a compound in Virginia.
Two of our men are on the inside,
and they have not been heard from in several days.
They've missed several check-ins.
And just like you all, I wanna go in blasting.
But what we know for sure
is there are 47 children on the inside,
and he has taught them that the government is evil.
Just like Waco.
David Koresh allowed a lot of his followers to burn
in the fire of Waco, Texas, rather than surrender.
A lot of children died that day.
That, we don't want.
So Mack?
Yeah.
We'll be taking it over from here.
- Oh ma'am, with all due respect. - We'll talk after...
The meeting.
Yes, ma'am.
Now please look over all that I've left you and study it.
We'll reconvene in the morning.
You are dismissed.
You're takin' this from me?
I just spared you the embarrassment.
I'm sorry, but... I don't want to hear your buts.
All right, you have a man on the inside
that is no doubt compromised,
and you have another working the sheriff station
who has not been heard from in days.
You are dismissed.
- He will, if you just-- -I don't wanna hear it!
Mack, this is a -- mess.
And I'll try and keep it from D.C.
I know I shouldn't have let you handle this.
I'm done talking to you about this.
Okay.
Now... Get out of my face.
Fine.
Hey.
I've been taken off the case.
What?
Yeah, my boss is takin' it over.
Why?
We haven't heard from Andrew or Brian.
Oh, --.
I need you to go up there and make sure that they're okay.
How in the hell do you expect me to do that?
Call Dikahn.
They get jumpy when I go up there.
Yeah, but you're on their side.
Yeah, but the kids at the damn gate with the guns
don't know that.
Damn it, Sheriff!
I need you to go up there now.
- Mack... - I am not going down by myself.
Okay.
Get this shit cleaned up!
Do it, now.
All right, I'm on it.
-.
- Sheriff? - Not now.
Sir, I need to talk to you.
What is it?
I haven't heard from Poke.
Well shit, I don't know what to tell ya.
Well, you know this isn't like him.
Kate, you know that he's lazy.
No, I went to his house, and he's not there.
- Was his truck there? - No.
Well, I don't know what to say.
You're not worried about him?
No, I'm not.
Well, I don't know why not.
- Kate... - No, no.
He was with that girl, and then he just disappears...
I don't like it.
Listen...
I didn't wanna tell you this, but...
What?
Poke has a drug problem.
- What? - Yeah.
Sheriff, I've known Poke for a really long...
Just check in his files.
I've given him several drug tests.
Hell, I was tryin' to help him out, but...
I knew it was only a matter of time
before he went off the deep end.
Sheriff, are you sure?
Are you doubting me?
No, I, I just don't know how this can be without
me recognizing it.
What, you think I'm lying?
No.
Well, then trust me!
He's probably on one of his binges,
and he'll be back!
How could this happen?
Maybe because I don't tell you everything, okay?
Now look, I have to go. All right?
Well, who's gonna cover his shift?
Forward the phones, I will.
Sheriff, you can't work all these hours.
I got it.
Let me call Brian in.
No, I said I got it! Not him.
Are you sure?
I said I got it!
If I have to tell you one more time, Kate...
Okay.
Goodnight.
Are you satisfied now?
Eh.
You are with child.
I told you.
But your stomach...
It's flat as a board.
I show late.
Nonsense.
I've never heard of such.
Well...
How would you know?
I was a nurse.
A long... Time ago.
There are lots of women...
Like me, who don't show at all.
And then one day, boop! There's the belly.
I see.
So I don't wanna hear another word about this again.
Do you understand me?
Yes.
Yes, what?
Yes...
Elder.
-.
You really did it.
Will you shut up, man?
No, you killed an agent.
Will you shut the -- up, man?!
There's no way for you to make this right.
- Please, Malcolm, just... - No, hear me.
There's no way you're goin' back to the FBI.
You really are a -- idiot, aren't you?
Do you think...
Do you think either one of us
gonna get up outta here alive, man?
Huh?
I'ma do what I can, I'ma do what I have to.
Oh, yeah.
You really good at that.
Malcolm doin' Malcolm.
Right?
I'm not dyin' in here like him.
You know that could have easily been you, right?
We're gonna get outta here.
Malcolm...
Listen to me.
- Please stop, man. - Okay? We are!
We're gonna get outta here!
Okay, we gon' get outta here, huh?
And the fist thing you do is you gonna burn me,
and make sure go down for all this shit, right? Right?
Now listen.
Listen, bro. We need to work together.
Okay?
Boy!
You think I trust you?
Huh?
- What choice do you have? - None.
And it's still not enough to make me trust your crazy ass.
Listen, man...
No, I don't wanna listen, man.
I don't wanna hear your bullshit!
Listen to me, all right?
We can make it.
Please, Malcolm, please.
If you trip him when he comes in...
I'll put his ass in leg lock.
- Then you grab his gun, man. - Shut up.
Shut up, listen! Just do it when he walks in.
I'm not doin' a damn thing, man.
So you are with them.
Just shut up, man.
- Please. - Shh!
Somebody's coming, be quiet. Be quiet, be quiet.
Shut up.
- I'm sorry. - Shut up.
- I-- - I said shut up.
You don't learn!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Come here.
Come here!
You.
You! Come here!
Take him to the electric trailer.
No, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait! Hey!
Where are you taking me?!
Wait, wait! No, no!
No, no, no! Please, please!
Dikahn...
Andrew.
I am so...
Sorry, Brother.
FBI agent.
You know...
The Highest thinks that because you shot another agent...
That we have you by the balls.
Yeah.
You do.
But when I talk to him tomorrow...
I'm gonna tell him that I don't think that's enough.
It's not?
You killed my wife.
What else do you want from me?
You are not loyal to The Highest.
Yes, I am.
That, I don't believe.
What else do I gotta do to prove it to you?
Huh?
I've been thinkin' about this.
And I will talk to The Highest in the morning.
About what?
You shot another agent.
That's the thing that can really destroy us.
Yeah.
I know.
I've been thinkin' about a way we can get away with it.
And I can prove...
That I am loyal to the Raku.
What can you get away with?
You killed his wife, right?
Where's the body?
Why?
Because we can put their bodies in the bed.
And make it look like it's a double murder/suicide.
That is not going to happen.
These agents know forensics.
Not if there's a fire.
And it's burned so bad that they can't find a thing.
Talk.
We put both of their bodies in the bed.
And I use a lotta accelerants...
We'll burn the whole house down.
Can already prove that she was -- Malcolm.
We'll make them tell all the locations that they met.
We'll get the camera footage.
We'll make it seem like Brian was so angry...
That he killed her.
And then he shot himself.
Andrew, I'm not buying any of it.
Listen.
The way that I shot him?
Yeah.
It could definitely make sense.
You are really trying to get on the good side of The Highest.
Yeah.
I wanna prove to both of you...
That I am loyal to the Raku.
That...
I don't believe.
Then just let me prove it to you, Brother.
Oh.
I will.
Let you hang yourself.
Thank you.
You gotta believe me, Brother.
Dikahn!
You got, you gotta believe me, Dikahn!
Hey.
Hello, Sheriff.
I need to talk to you.
I figured that, since you drove all the way out here.
You need a damn cell phone.
We have them.
Well then, I need a new number for you.
You know that is not wise.
All right then, let me get you a burner.
There's only one network that works up here.
And that one is very easy to track.
Shit.
What is it, Sheriff?
I got a call from my contact at the FBI today.
And?
He's lost the case,
it's bein' taken over by his boss.
And what does that mean?
It means I don't know how much longer
this shit is gonna go on before it falls apart.
Trust me, we have this under control.
No, you don't.
My Deputy Kate is askin'
all kinds of questions about Deputy Poke.
She will never find him.
Where is his body?
Sheriff, the less you know...
The better.
Where's Tyrone?
The Highest is resting.
I don't like this bullshit.
You just keep us posted.
And what?
And we'll keep the drugs and the girls coming.
You think I'm doin' this just for --?
Where in the hell is my money?!
Don't we keep that coming, too?
I'm tellin' you.
If they get snoopin' around and it gets hot on me,
I'm givin' your ass up.
Yes, sir.
Now I need a --.
I'm gonna park up by that tree.
Send up one of your girls.
Right away, Sheriff.
And hurry.
- stressed.
And don't send that bitch with no teeth.
On second thought, send her.
Did it work?
Stop sneaking up on me.
Did it work?
Yes.
It did.
What is that?
I stole Sister Jennifer's urine.
What?
I put a pot in the toilet.
Waited for her to pee, and then I got it.
Okay?
That's clever.
I know.
Yeah.
Now we need to get this money...
And get outta here.
I have it.
What?
I have the money he got.
What?
I have the hundreds of thousands.
I...
Don't want that shit. I want at least a million.
It's enough.
So we have to leave, now.
What the --?
River, where is it?
Under my robe.
How did you get it?
The Highest is knocked out.
So I snuck into his room, and I took it.
Take it back.
I knew I should've just left.
- River, I'm not... - I should've just left
and got the hell out of here!
I'm not kidding around with you.
You bring it back.
We have to leave.
Now.
River...
I am not going through all this --
to be broke in a few weeks.
That's not enough to split between me, you, and Joan.
Well, let's not tell her, then.
I'm going to tell her and him if you don't bring it back.
He's dead.
I overdosed him.
So we have to go now.
- River... - We have to go!
What did you do?
I gave him all the heroin he had.
River, no...
I... didn't have--
You don't know what he does to me.
Okay? How he treats me!
Come.
I'm leaving.
Come now.
What are we gonna do?
You heard me.
Shit.
I wish you wouldn't have done that.
You can't keep us here against our will.
We're not doing that.
Good. Then let us leave.
We want you to stay the night.
We don't wanna stay the night.
- Aaron... - No.
We're leaving.
I saw them.
The men in the container.
- What are you talking about? - I saw them.
They said they were FBI agents.
Will you calm down and let me explain?
No.
Do you know what we do here?
I'm finding out.
No, you're not.
We have a group of very bad people
that come here.
What does that mean?
Some of the members who come here
are trying to detox...
From drugs!
And The Highest...
Helps them.
Some of them have mental health issues,
so we have to restrain them
to keep them from harming themselves.
I'm not buying that shit. They're in a container.
Forgive us for not having state of the art facilities, Aaron.
But what we do works.
You know, I can introduce you to someone.
- Just wait right here. - No, we're leaving.
Oh, Aaron, would you please relax?
You're making everyone nervous.
I will get you a drink, and send someone to talk to you.
Okay? Hold on.
We're getting out of here.
How?
They have guns.
I know.
So we need to play along for the night.
Do we have a night?
They won't hurt us.
You didn't see the men in the container.
What choice do we have?
Huh?
Play along.
Okay?
I just wanna get out of here.
The Highest seems like a decent man.
Do you think he even knows any of this is happening?
What are you saying?
Sometimes...
The leader doesn't know what the flock is doing.
I know how much you want this to be it.
But it's not it.
I'm telling you. It's not.
Please don't fall for this.
I'm not.
We have to get out of here.
Okay, but we can't right now.
- So play along, okay? - What?
No, it's fine.
No, it's not.
It is, it's okay.
You should me more concerned.
I am.
You! You, you!
Yeah?
I need you to go and talk to the guests
in the finance trailer.
Okay?
Tell them that you were a drug addict,
and that The Highest healed you.
Tell them...
That you spent a lot of nights in a container trailer.
What?
Just do it.
He is freaking out.
Okay.
Tell them that you were...
The Highest made you get better.
He healed you with his...
Touch of love, and for which you are...
Grateful.
- Okay. - Okay.
Go. Do it!
- Okay. - Chop, chop!
We have a problem.
I'll say. They are freaking out!
Who?
That couple that came in earlier?
I'm not talking about them!
What are you talking about?
- Shit! - What?
Him.
Okay, what is it?
He stole the money.
What money?
However much you got from the bank.
Why would you do that?!
He wants to leave because of how The Highest is treating him.
- What?! - Yeah.
Are you..?
Are you two trying to cut me out?!
Do you think I would be talkin' to you now if I was?
I don't know with you!
- Shut up and listen! - So hostile!
Shut it up.
He overdosed The Highest.
What?!
So I need to go in there and see him.
You need to keep an eye on him.
- Is The Highest all right? - No, he's not.
What did you do?!
I gave him all the heroin he had.
What?!
I have to get out of here!
Shh! Shh!
You can't!
You don't know what he does to me.
How he treats me!
We need to leave now.
I need to see if he's breathing.
Was he breathing when you left?
There's no way he's breathing.
Did you check?
Of course not, 'cause you were too busy stealing that...
Joan! Need I--
Shut up! Okay?!
I need to go.
I need to go in there and see if he's breathing.
You keep an eye on him.
Don't let him outta your sight.
- I won't. - I'm not playin' with you.
You...
That amount was an insult to my intelligence.
I hope you realize that.
Where are you going?
To see The Highest.
He didn't call for you.
Well, I'm going to be his wife.
No, not while he's in there with River.
He's not.
Yeah, he is.
I can still go in there.
You are not seeing him!
Manny...
Don't make me...
You want those pain pills, don't you?
I'm the only one who can get them for you.
Ruth.
I can.
Can you get me a... A tetanus shot?
A what?
A shot.
Tetanus?
Yeah.
Of course I can.
I can get whatever we need.
I can put it on...
The grocery list.
You don't have one here?
No, we don't.
We may.
What, what do you mean?
There's a trailer with all The Highest's medication.
The one with the big chain on it?
Yeah.
How do you expect me to get it?
I can get the key.
Okay, now I need to get in there.
Okay, but you won't tell anyone, will you?
Okay.
You promise me?
Just get the key.
Okay. Okay, I'll get it.
Your Highest?
Your Highest!
Shit!
Your Highest!
Shit!
Damn it!
Oh, Your Highest.
Your Highest!
And that's it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Well, that is beautiful.
Gosh, I don't know where I would be without him.
I think it is so great that you found him.
Yeah.
And he chained you up?
Yes.
And you were fine with that?
Oh, I was out of my mind, brother.
I needed the Raku.
I see.
Look, this place may not look like much...
But the freedom to be free...
Is here.
Is that why you all have guns?
Well, we don't want anyone taking what is ours.
Who is anyone?
The government.
We are a loving people.
Who won't let us leave.
- Aaron. - No, Laura.
We'll let you leave.
Good. Then we wanna go.
But we have to insist that you stay until tomorrow.
What do you mean? That's not letting us leave.
Well, it would be rude
to let our guests leave this late.
Even if they wanted to?
You have to understand we have enemies in this town.
What does that mean?
There are a lot of farms around here
that don't want us in this area.
They've talked to the Sheriff, the small town mayor...
None of them want us here.
So if we let you leave and you went to one of these farms...
It may not be the best thing.
See, babe?
They're just protecting us.
I see.
Are you hungry? I'm sure you are.
- No. - Yes.
I'll ask the Elder Mother to bring you some food.
Oh, that would be nice.
I'll be back.
- Okay. - All right.
Well?
Tell me you're not falling for that shit.
Are you kidding me?
Then what the hell are you doing?
I'm playing along.
Yeah, I guess I'm not so good at that.
Aaron.
What are you doing with that?
Just be glad I have it.
You promised me we were gonna leave everything behind.
I know.
And you brought a cell phone?
Just be glad I have it. Okay?
You really wanna argue about this now?
We need to call for help.
Aaron.
Shit. No signal.
- I wish you had told me. - I don't wanna hear it, okay?
There's a tower at the back of the camp.
Right above where I saw they had locked the children in a room.
I bet if I get up there...
I can make a call.
You're gonna get yourself killed.
Then what do you suggest we do?
We stay until the morning and talk to The Highest.
- He will let us leave! - You're so damn naive if you...
- Aaron! - No, Laura.
This man cannot help you. He is crazy.
Now snap out of it, shit.
I'm not snapped in. I hear you.
You sure?
Yes.
I'm sure.
Here, drink some more.
I'm fine.
I can't believe you were going to leave without me.
Shh.
How are they?
I think they're calming down.
Oh, good.
I'm gonna ask the Elder Mother to make them somethin' to eat.
Brilliant.
Tell her to give them something to make them feel better.
Yes.
Whatever he saw scared him to death.
I think I convinced him to relax.
Oh... Good.
Now please get them some food.
Thank you, Lewis.
You shouldn't have done it.
Well, it's done.
Okay? He's dead.
I know he is.
You know, if he was...
She would've come out by now.
I have to go see.
I am not letting you out of my sight.
Joan.
N-O, no.
Look, I'll go in the way I came out.
All right? You can watch me.
And what are you gonna do?
See what's going on.
And put the money back?
Joan.
Put it back, River!
Okay.
Fine.
You weren't gonna tell me, were you?
Were you and Ruth going to leave without me?
No, we weren't.
I don't believe you.
She has her daughter here.
She wouldn't leave her.
I don't know.
Look...
I'm gonna go in there. Okay?
Okay.
And you'll put the money back.
Joan, if you...
Put it back, River.
Now go.
I'm going.
Lay her there.
Thank you.
Wait.
Yes, Elder Mother?
She is still breathin'.
Are you sure?
Look at her.
What shall we do?
Nothing.
I got this.
Okay.
So...
You're still breathin', are you?
Tried to do your own bullet proofin', eh?
Well, a few got through.
Do me a favor.
Please, please don't die.
You are going to learn.
You are.
Eh?
- Elder Mother... - What is it?
I was told to ask you to prepare a meal for our guests.
Are they still here?
Yes.
And I was told to tell you that they need to relax.
Okay.
What are you looking at her like that?
Well--
You've never seen a naked woman before?
Yes, Elder Mother.
Do you want me to get the men to take away the body?
No, she is alive.
- Is she? - Yes.
She, she put pots on her chest.
Stupid girl.
Oh.
Chain her up.
Yes, Elder Mother.
Well, I will go and prepare the meal.
Yes, Elder Mother.
I hope so desperately
that she does not die.
Your Highest?
Shit!
Your Highest!
Damn it! Shit!
Your Highest. Your Highest.
Your Highest!
Is he dead?
Shit, you scared the shit out of me!
Is he dead?
No, but his breathing is shallow.
I thought you were with Joan!
I told her I was gonna put the money back.
Well, do it!
- I will. - Do it now.
Shit!
Oh my... Your Highest!
Your Highest.
Your Highest! Your Highest!
Did you check his pulse?
I can barely feel it.
Move.
Did you put the money back?
Yes.
What?
He's not breathing.
- I'm getting outta here. - River, no, River!
No, he's dead.
If you know like I know, you know better.
You'll run, too.
