- THE HIGHEST: I don't know why anyone
would wanna leave here. I wanna see them.
- FEMALE NARRATOR: Previously on "Ruthless"--
- I gave up everything for you.
- I am not the enemy, so let me work this plan.
- I couldn't get rid of the body.
- Where is it? - OLIVER: It's in the car.
I have the keys and the car is locked.
- You have the keys to the car? - You have sinned against Raku.
[grunting] - [yelling]
- ANDREW: There's a man-- - I am The Highest!
- ANDREW: --running this--
- THE HIGHEST: I am the supreme ruler.
- --who thinks he's God. - I am!
- I thought I told you to get that car up out of here, man!
- I was.
- Then what the hell is taking you so long?
- I was talking to Lacey. - Lacey?
Boy, if you don't get your heads up out the clouds.
- Our heads are not in the clouds.
- Then get that damn car up out of here before they come back.
- Look, I was thinking, okay?
It's daylight, so what if I'm driving to the lake
and the Sheriff sees me and pulls me over?
- I mean, yeah, alright that's a possibility.
- So then I shouldn't do it, right?
- Listen to me, think about it.
You can take the car to the lake now
and possibly run into the Sheriff or you can wait
until The Highest get back and he finds it.
Take your pick. - No, you're right.
- I know I'm right. So get that damn car out of here
'cause they could be back any minute now.
- Alright.
- Hey, sister.
- Andrew! - ANDREW: Hey.
Now is not a good time, Will. - Please.
- What is it? - I just have a question.
- What is it, William? - Can you show me now?
- Show you what, William?
- You were gonna show me how to do that move.
- Now is not a good time, son. - Please.
- I promise I will show you later.
- Are you sure? I just wanna be ready.
- Ready for what, son? - To defend myself.
- Listen to me, William, okay?
I promise that I will show you later, alright?
- You promise?
- Yes, son, I promise I'll show you later.
- He may call me.
- So you're telling me if I show you this move,
you're gonna do it on The Highest?
- Yes.
- Then he's gonna put you in the punishment trailer.
And then what?
- Well, at least I'll be able to defend myself and stop him.
- William, how about you just stay away from him, alright?
- He calls me all the time. - I understand that, son.
But has he called you today?
- No, but he might call me tonight.
- Listen, you know what I think? - I think you should show me.
- Listen, I got other issues to handle right now, William, okay?
Thank you, son. - Nobody ever has time for me.
Nobody cares about me.
- ANDREW: Hold up now, that's not what I--
William!
What is wrong with you? Why you running up like that?
- I can't find the damn keys.

Have mercy.
The Highest, are you alright?
- Yes.
- There's blood everywhere. Did something happen?
- Not to me.
- Is there something that I can do? Anything?
- Calm down, woman. - But--
- He is fine. - He's--he's so bloody.
- It's not mine.
- Whose blood is that, Your Highest?
- It's the blood of the wicked. - Yes it is, Your Highest.
- THE HIGHEST: Let this be a lesson to you, children.
The blood, the wicked...
will fall to the ground...
in a flood.
I am The Highest. I am.
- ♪
- Some people decided to leave last night,
and now they have joined the Raku.
The Highest will need a bath. - Yes, right away.
- DIKHAN: Not you. - But I always--
- Ruth.
- Yes, Dikhan?
- Prepare his bath.
- Yes, Dikhan.
- And River will help you with the water.
- Yes, Dikhan.
- [clapping]
- Back to your chores, everyone!
- I always prepare his bath.
- He wants her. - Why?
- He wants her.
- What is that going to accomplish?
- Talk to him about it. - I will!
- You wanna talk to him while he's in that headspace?
You go right ahead.
See if your blood isn't on the floor.
- But Dikhan-- - DIKHAN: I don't wanna hear it.
Boil the water. - Yes, Dikhan.
- Brother.
What happened?
- What do you mean?
- Why is The Highest so bloody?
- When you leave here, you never return.
- So they are dead? - Yes.
- Did he do it?
- We all did it...
including you. - Yeah.
I see, brother. - The Highest did nothing.
Get that?
The Highest will take us to the Raku.
- Yes, Dikhan. - You don't even understand.
It was beautiful the way he left them there.
- Where exactly did he leave 'em?
- In the hell that they made for themselves.
- Yeah, I see brother. - Yes, you do.
Was everything all right here?
- Everything is totally fine here, sir.
- Good.
- You have to find those -- keys right now.
- I know. I think I know where they are.
I think I know.
- You're gonna have to wait till tonight, okay,
to get it out of here. But it has to happen.
- Okay. Alright.

- No. - BILLY: Come on.

- You should be tired. - No, I'm not.
- You really wanna see me? - BILLY: Where are you?
- I'm out. - What does that mean?
- It means I'm out, okay? - Come on, meet me at my place.
- I will see.
- What does that mean? - I will try.
- What?
- Okay, okay, I just--I'll call you when I'm on my way.
- Okay. - Okay, bye.
What do you think? - I think that you should go.
- Yes. - He seems like he's eager.
- And dumb.
- Oh, and you will make The Highest so happy.
- Can I meet with The Highest? - After this assignment.
- He is so beautiful. - MARVA: Who?
- SARAH: The Highest. - Yes, he is.
- I mean, it just radiates from him.
- Yes.
- SARAH: Elder Mother, do you think
I'll ever have a coronation? - Yes, you will.
- I want to carry the seed of The Highest.
- You will. - Okay.
- So, let me get the low clothes together.
- Okay.
- I will talk to The Highest and let you know
when you can call. - This is--this is so great.
He knows me by name, right?
- Yes, child, he does. - That is perfect.
The Highest knows me by name.
- He knows all of his children, honey.
[chuckling]
- I wanna see you again. - No.
- What do you mean, no? - I wanted you to help me.
- You don't really have a choice now.
- I'm not seeing you.
- Going back? - I will go to The Highest.
- Do you wanna go in that punishment trailer?
- Leave me alone.
- I will.
Look, last night, I was-- - Yancy!
Before I let you take advantage of me again,
I will go to The Highest and I will take that punishment.
- You really sure that's what you wanna do?
I mean, if The Highest finds out
what you were gonna try and do with those keys,
you might end up like the others.
You and your daughter.
- I mean it. - Okay.
I mean it too.
I'm gonna see you at that bus soon.
- You should leave me alone.
- Brother Yancy.
Think I can have a word with you?
- Yes, sir.
- ANDREW: I couldn't help but notice
that you were talking to Sister Tally the other night.
- What? - Yeah, I did.
- She had some questions for me.
- What kind of questions?
- About the bus, why I was working on it, harmless stuff.
- You think it's harmless? - Yeah.
She said her daddy used to work on cars so...
- ANDREW: I see, I see. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Well, maybe you shouldn't talk to her so much, brother.
- Hey, brother, if you say so.
- We wouldn't want anybody to get the wrong impression,
you know?
- Nah, I'm here to serve The Highest and the Raku.
[chuckling] - Right.
- I wouldn't let a woman get in between that.
[chuckling] - ANDREW: Definitely.
Definitely not a nasty lowly woman like that, you know?
- Yeah, of course, of course. - ANDREW: Right.
Thank you, brother.
You can go on and get back to work now.
- Yes, sir. - Have a good day, brother.
- Boy! - Yes?
- Take these to the kitchen and put them on the stove.
- Yes, sir.
- Tell Elder to hurry and get it warm.
- Okay.
- It's shocking, letting him come in here covered in blood.
Little dramatic, don't you think?
- He is The Highest, it should be.
- Yes, it should be.
- And the Raku is pleased with the blood
of the deserter, isn't that what we are taught?
- Yes, that's what we're taught. But is that what we believe?
- That is what I believe. Do you doubt it?
- No, of course not. - Then why bring it up?
- I didn't. You did.
- You like to play mind games, I see.
- I like to get to the truth. - Okay, then do that.
- Why do you think Dikhan asked you
to give The Highest a bath? - I don't know.
- I think The Highest asked for you
to play mind games with Dikhan. - Well, I don't care.
- Well, you should 'cause if Dikhan finds out
he will be furious. He can get really jealous.
- Aren't you supposed to be getting water?
- Yes.
But a little chat is always good.
- Not this chat. - Ruth, come on.
I'm not your enemy here.
- You are the one that let them leave here to their deaths.
- I tried to stop them. - Did you really?
- Yes, I did.
- So was it Joan that let them leave?
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Well, until you can tell me,
then you have nothing else to say to me.
- Do you really think they went to their deaths?
- You saw the blood. - It's a lot of blood.
- And? I've seen blood before.
- Yeah, I'm sure you have. - What is that supposed to mean?
- You're a tough chick. - You don't know me, River.
- Somewhat.
- So, they left and he killed them?
- Yes.
- I knew he would.
- I mean, do you think it's real?
- What are you saying?
- Maybe it's pig's blood to make everyone scared.
- What?
- When you pass the pen of the big hog, it's gone.
- So you think this is not real? - Maybe, I don't know.
- If you think this is not real then you are a fool.
- I don't know.
But I don't want you to be afraid of him, okay?
I need you. - River, cut the bullshit.
- Listen, we're gonna get all this money
and get it all done, we will. But you need to help us.
- Just go get the damn water. - Yes, Elder.
I have a book I wanna give you
about sociopaths and narcissists, he's one.
It'll tell you all you need to know.
I know a lot about him, but most of all,
I know you can't be afraid to take charge.
Okay, you can't be afraid to challenge him or punish him.
But it's delicate, okay?
You have to know when to back off.
If he's in a vulnerable position
and he's trying to be big and bad
and you sense weakness, take the upperhand.
But if you don't, run like hell.
That mother-- is crazy. Do you hear me?
- Do you think I need you to tell me that?
- Yes, I do.
- I made a living understanding men like him,
-- them, punishing them.
The more powerful they were,
the more they wanted to be punished.
- Then how the hell did you end up here?
- I was trying to turn over a new leaf.
I was running from a boyfriend and a pimp,
I was running from my twin sister--
- You were -- up.
- Basically.
- Yeah, well just remember what I said.
- You don't need to tell me anything about a man.
I got him under my feet.
- Well, he may like that too as long as you're shoving
your fist up his -- when it happens.
- You are on dangerous ground.
- We both are at this point, okay?
I came to this camp looking for free love and shit,
ended up in the bed with a damn psycho
who has access to millions but they gave him pennies.
- Will you shut up before someone hears you?
- Yes, Elder.
Let us go to the feet of The Highest and wash him.
- PAULA: He really killed them. - Paula.
- We're never getting out of here.
- You just have to relax. - Those were our friends.
- You have to understand, we will make it
if we don't do what they did. - So we just stay here?
- For now. - I don't know if I can do that.
- Paula. - I don't know.
- I'm with her. - What?
- I have a way out of here. - How?
- There's a car parked out back and I have the keys.
- What? - Yes!
- Where is it? - It's at the back gate.
All we have to do is get in it and drive away.
- Does it work? - Yes!
It's Lilo's car. - What's it still doing here?
- I have the keys. - You're not answering me.
- All we have to do is make it to the Sheriff's station.
- Lacey! - Let's do it.
- Paula!
- Let's do it tonight at lights out.
- Okay.
- PAULA: We are not talking about this again.
Either you come or you don't.
- After what they just did to them?
- All we have to do is get to the Sheriff's station.
- I'm not going. - Then it's me and you, Lacey.
- Okay.
- You both are going to get yourselves killed.
- Well, at least it will be our choice how we die.
- What's going on?
- I don't know.
- I thought you were supposed to wash The Highest.
- I know.
- Well, why is she doing that?
- Are you trying to get me upset, Agnes?
- No! I'm just asking.
- Well, don't. - I'm sorry.
- It's that devil Dikhan. He did it.
He did it! - What?
- He's trying to keep me away from The Highest.
- Oh, that's not good. - No.
But he knows that The Highest loves me and he favors me.
- He does love you. - It is not right.
- I'm sorry.
- Him and Ruth.
I'm going to have Melinda to keep an eye on those two.
They are up to something.
- Well, I can help. - How?
- I can get Joan to-- - No, no, no, no, no.
I'll put Melinda in the room with her.

It spooked all the women. - Good.
Let them be spooked. - Not this badly.
- So, what were you...
doing in there?
- I've been trying to calm them. - Calm them?
- Letting them know that they are safe
and that The Highest is not angry with them.
- I see. - So I suggest you do the same.
- No. I won't.
And neither will you from this point on.
That wasn't his fault.
It was designed by the Raku to put the fear in his people.
- Of course, Dikhan.
- Don't let me see you near that finance trailer again.

- And he brought one here? - Well, it smells like it.
- How do you know?
- I'll pull up my camera here in a minute.
- What camera? - The one I have in here.
- The hidden camera that he's not supposed to know about?
- WALKER: Yup.
- Well if you confront him about it, he'll know.
- I know that.
- Well then it's not so hidden anymore, is it?
He'll know. - That's fine.
- Then what's the point of having one?
- WALKER: Well, I gotta know what the hell's
going on in here. - Why would he bring one here?
- Probably trying to impress 'em.
- You know, you sure do know a whole lot about this.
- I think it's time you oughta be quiet.
- Um, yeah you too.
Your wife would not like you knowing about this.
- And you ain't gonna tell her.

You need to think about every place that you went.
- Well, I talked to Lacey in the shed.
- Which one of the sheds, Oliver? Come on!

- Alright, I'll go check the shed.
But you need to know that you are -- up.

I think I wanna do it again.
- We can do that whenever you like.
- You don't mind?
- I will do whatever you like.
- We shall see when the time comes.
- And what does that mean, Your Highest?
- Just what I said.
You have passed every test, Ruth,
but there is a big one that is coming,
and I will test you.
- And I will rise to the occasion.
- Yes you will. You shall.
- Thank you.
- I want to play an old movie for The Raku.
I think we all should watch it in the pavilion.
I think we should all learn to speak that way.
- Why is that so important to you?
- Because when this world ends, and we establish a new order,
we must learn to speak properly.
- Yes.
- So the children must learn.
- Yes. How are the children?
- They are well.
- I don't see them much.
Have you seen them?

No need. - I know.

I was actually looking for something.
- What?
- I lost something, but it's silly.
- What? - It's a stick.
My lucky stick that I keep on me.
I can't seem to find it. - A stick?
- Yeah. - I told you it was silly.

- No, I'll help you find it.
- Thank you, Dikhan.
- Boy.
- WILLIAM: Yes, Dikhan?
- Help Andrew find his stick. - WILLIAM: Yes, Dikhan.
- What does it look like?
- Um...it's like a wishbone.
You know? - DIKHAN: What?
- Yeah. It's actually like a slingshot.
I would, you know, play with it
when I didn't have anything to do.
- Right. Well, help him find it.
- Where'd you see it last? - Over by the other shed.
That's why I'm checking sheds.
- Okay. - Go on.
- Yes, Dikhan.
- It's good to have you back, brother.
- It's even better to be back.
- Was it hard? - Was what hard, sir?
- To kill your wife.
- No, not at all. It wasn't.
- You could do it that easy? - I mean, yeah.
I just walked right up to her
and I put a bullet in her head.
- Well that's a true Raku warrior.
- Raku warrior, yeah. Thank you, sir.
So, where did you do the shootings?
- Of the traitors? - Yes, sir.
- There was no shooting. He did it with a bat.
- Wow, I see.
- He likes to get his hands dirty.
Yeah, I definitely see that.
You should see the mess he made. It was glorious.
I'm actually gonna go pick them up tonight.
So, I will need a burial site dug up.
- Dikhan, I can definitely handle that.
- No, hmm-mm, we'll let one of the boys take care of that.
You are graduating.
We have to give you more responsibilities now.
- It's an honor. - The Elder Mother has someone
in the Sheriff's office.
