- Malcolm, what is it?
- Don't panic.
- WOMAN: Previously on Ruthless...
- If you betray me, I will take your head.
- I will never betray you, sir.
- I keep making this worse.
- You think I'm lying? - We shall see.
- And when you see that I am pregnant.
- I will be quiet.
- Dikahn.
- BRIAN: Lynn.
What did you do to her?!
Please.
- Please what?
- Okay.
Okay.
- You're ready to talk?
- [panting] Yes.
- Okay, well talk.
- Help me.
- Help you?
Please.
- Oh, another finger? - No.
- No? Please, no?
One of hers? - BRIAN: No!
- No? Oh, oh.
Oh he, he, he loves her.
- Mmm. I think he does, Your Highest.
- No, you shouldn't show that.
- DIKAHN: No he shouldn't, Your Highest.
- What kind of training did you have
where you don't understand that?
- Look, just, just let her go.
- I will just as soon as you tell me
if she's F-B-I.
- No, she's not.
- Then what is she doing here?
- She used to be a cop.
- Go on.
- And she wanted to be a part of this, but...
- But what? Make sense.
- One day she saw the file that I was working on
and she came here.
- Dikahn, do you believe this?
- No, I don't, Your Highest.
- It's the truth. It's the truth.
- Do you know who I am?
- Yes.
- What's my name? - BRIAN: [grunting]
You're The Highest. - Yes, yes.
And do you know that I possess a gift?
- Yes.
- I can tell when you're lying.
- Then you know that I'm telling the truth.
- Are you saying that I don't have a gift?
- No.
Yes, yeah, your gift will tell you that I'm telling the truth.
- I think you should kill her.
- What? - Yes,
yes, that's what I'm thinking. - No.
- Well you're not ready to tell me the truth, so...
- Please. - You will kill her.
- Please!
- Yes. I will be back.
You will look her in her eye and you will kill her.

- You just don't get it.
- I'm sorry.
- You will be.
- Please, please...
- Love is such a dangerous game in your business.
You find yourself a slave to another,
to protect another.
I don't know how a warrior can love.
That tells me you are weak.
- She has nothing to do with it.
- You see?
Love still speaks.
If you didn't love her you would say she is F-B-I,
and you would be free.
- You wouldn't let me go.
- Yes I would.
- I don't believe you.
- Are you calling The Highest a liar?
- BRIAN: No, no, no. - I think you just did.
- It's okay, it's okay, Dikahn.
Dikahn, he, he doesn't know the way or the power
of the Raku, he will learn.
- [sputtering]
- I want to ask you something else.
- What?
- Who did she come here with?
- What?
- The man she came here with.
- What man?
- You didn't know she came here with a man,
smelling of him?
Sex all night apparently between the two of them.
- Who?
- Oh, another emotion that is deadly... jealousy.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- You didn't know she was having an affair?
- No.
- Oh, I see.
- Who is he?
- Will that make you turn on her?
- No, I just--
I just want to know.
- Dikahn, what's his name again?
- Malcolm. - Yes, Malcolm.
Malcolm, Malcolm, Malcolm.
- There's no, there's no way. - There is a way.
- He's here?
- Now you are concerned?
Yes, they came together.
- Is that true?
- He still thinks you're lying, Your Highest.
- No, no.
- And I don't like it.
- Yes, yes, but you are easily offended.
I on the other hand just want answers.
- I can make him talk.
- Are you saying my methods are too pleasant?
- No, Your Highest.
- Then what are you saying?
- I'm saying I can make him talk.
- Ooh.
This just got really bad for you.
- Please. [sputtering]
Please.
[gasping]
[coughing]
- I'm gonna give you time to think about what I said,
how you're gonna kill her.
We will return.
- Please...
Please, no.
- Enjoy your last moments with Malcolm's girlfriend.
- Please! - [chuckling]
- Please!
- So, what do you think?
- What do you mean, what does he think?
- I'm sorry, Your Highest.
- You know I know the truth.
- Yes, sir. I definitely know that you do.
- I will get to the bottom of this.
- Yes sir, you will.
- I already know how this ends.
- Yes, I know you do sir.
- Brian is lying.
- Yeah, I know he is.
- He's trying to protect his wife.
- Yeah, yes sir.
- I would never be that stupid for a woman.
- No brother, not you ever.
- Yeah.
Just like when you killed your wife.
- Yes, sir.
- With very little evidence.
- Excuse me, sir?
- We've been trying to find more evidence on you.
- Dikahn, we have already been over this, brother.
- Yes, we have.
But why does he keep looking at you?
- What do you mean, sir?
- He's begging for help and every time he begs for help,
he looks at you.
- He's pleading for his life.
- And that's all it is?
- Dikahn, please...
- I'm going to ask you one time.
- No, you're not sir.
- Andrew-- - Dikahn,
we've already been through this I'm not doing it again.
I told you, I am with you, brother.
- Are you?
- I am not answering that.
- Okay, brother.
- If I wasn't he would have already told you.
- Mm.
No, not yet.
- What do you mean, sir?
- The Highest likes to ratchet up the pain.
He's not even at level one yet.
- I see. - He will tell us.
- Even then, he still won't mention me.
- Okay.
- Thank you, brother.
If you don't mind, I'm going to walk the perimeter.
- Have at it.
- Thank you, sir.

- Your Highest... - Yes.
- The Sheriff is coming, sir. - Calm down.
- Shall I put everyone on alert?
- No. [clears throat]
You should calm down.
- Yes, Your Highest.

- Yes, Your Highest.
- No, no, actually he knows to meet me out front.
I don't want the members alarmed.
How long?
- He's on the road headed this way, sir.
- Okay.

- No, I will handle it.
- Okay, yes Your Highest.
- Manny.
Yes, sir?
- Dikahn tells me you are a solid soldier.
- Yes, yes Your Highest.

Ruth will need a soldier and I want it to be you.

- That is the perfect attitude. [chuckling]

- ♪
- Joan.
- Yes, Your Highest?
- Is it done?
- Yes, Your Highest.
- So, what do we have to do?
- Well,
most of the branches want to see you in person.
- What?
- Well, they require the presence of an officer
from the company.
- Okay.
Well, is that a problem?
- No, not at all.
It's just if, if I may, maybe...
I think perhaps we should get you a suit.
- A suit?
- Yes.
A gentleman's attire.
Slacks, jacket.
- Why would I need to do that, Joan?
- Your Highest, they won't look upon you the way we do here.
- Yes, you're right.
- We can visit two branches a day, as to not raise suspicion.
- Very well.
- Maybe Ruth can come along.
- Why?
- As your wife.
It would seem less obvious.
- No.
- Okay, yes, Your Highest.
- They will deal with me.
- They will, Your Highest.
- Run along.
- Thank you, Your Highest.
- What happened?
- It's all settled.
We'll be visiting two branches starting tomorrow.
- How much at a time?
- Just under 100,000.
-Okay, good.
- Oh,
I think I have a plan for the pregnancy test.
- What's that?
- The Elder Mother has to come to me for money
now that Elder Agnes is, um, dead.
- Okay...
- I will tell her that we can't afford them.
- She won't buy that.
- Well, I control the money, Ruth.
- [scoffs]
You don't know that old bitch.
She will find a way.
- Yes, I'm sure you know her well.
- Yes, I do.
- Well, I will let you know how it all works out.
- Where is River?
- I haven't seen him in a while.
- Okay, let me know if you do.
- I will.
- Alright, run along now.
- Thank you.
- Ruth.
The Sheriff is at the gate.
- He is? - Yes.
- Why? - I don't know.
- He never comes here. - I know,
and he is talking to The Highest.
- Damn.
- If he blows this, we won't get the money.
- I know.
- I want to know what they're talking about.
- I know.
- You can get him to tell you.
- Oh?
- You're gonna be his wife.
- What are you talking about?
- Bring the Sheriff a drink.
- [chuckles]
Are you kidding me?
- Get in close and you can overhear them.
- I'm not doing that.
- You can.
- You do it.
- After what he did to me last night...
- I'm not doing that.
- Ruth, you can.
- What makes you think you can't?
- I've never slapped him, or controlled him like you do.
- What?
- Look, you can. Just bring the Sheriff--
- River, you told me to slap him and do all that shit.
- Just do it, okay? You can!
Bring them a drink, it's simple.
- I'm not doing that.
- Okay, well then this could all fall apart.
- Well then, then it has to.
- Girl, we are talking about millions of dollars.
We are this damn close. Shit, just do it.
- River-- - You can get your daughter,
and we can all live-- - Don't give me that shit.
You don't give a shit about her.
- I'm sorry. - Don't mention her at all.
- Ruth, please-- - No, no--
- This can't all fall apart.
Ruth!
- Sheriff...
- We need to talk.
- Yes, I'm sure. - Now.
- Let's talk.
- What the hell's going on?
- What do you mean?
- You have an FBI agent in there.
- Yes.
- And you -- killed that old couple.
- That was my people.
Wasn't me.
- Alright then, how much you think that's worth to me, huh?
- Well Sheriff--
- You keep sending these damn girls over...
Hell, I've had enough -- to last me
for the rest of my life.
- Alright, well, what would you like?
- Money, mother --.
- Well Sheriff, the Cartel--
- No, don't give me that shit.
I've got two branches that have called me
and told me you're taking cash out of accounts.
- Well-- - No, no,
don't you -- lie to me.
I have the feds all over your ass.
- What do you want?
- What did I say? - How much?
How much do you want?
- At least a million.
I'll think about what else I want from there.
- Alright, well we will get that arranged.
- If you're thinking about running out on me--
- Now Sheriff, we are-- - No, no you listen.
We're all in this shit together.
It's getting too damn ugly and too damn messy.
- Yes, Sheriff.
- What about that girl you sent over to my office,
what the hell was that all about?
- Girl? - Melinda.
She's all over my deputy, and now he can't be found.
- Yes, I'm very aware.
- Look at you, they ain't telling you shit.
- I am aware.
- Alright then, where is my deputy?
- He, uh, he won't be coming back.
- --.
Another one?
- Sheriff... - No, your price just went up...
two million dollars.
- I'm sorry Sheriff.
- Don't be sorry, just get my -- money.
- Yes, Sheriff.
- Now I've got to go and try and find out
how to make Liz and Herbert's deaths look like
a damn murder-suicide. - I'm sure you can.
- Oh, don't tell me what the hell I can do.
- Yes, Sheriff.
- You know they're gonna be looking for him.
- Yeah, I'm sure.
- I hope you have one hell of a plan.
- I do. - One that does not involve me,
you understand?
- Yes, Sheriff.
- SHERIFF: Alright.
- Sheriff. - What?
- I brought you a cool drink. - No.
Last time I drank something here...
No, hell no!
- I'm sorry.
- You remember what I said.
I mean it.
- What are you doing out?
- I was coming to help.
- THE HIGHEST: I do not need your help!
- RUTH: I'm sorry. - I am The Highest.
- I'm sorry, Your Highest.
- THE HIGHEST: Who do you think you are?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
[yelping]
- I am The Highest. I am The Highest.
- [yelping]
- You are a wicked woman.
A wicked woman.
Get--
Get!
- RUTH: [whimpering] I'm sorry.
- I will show you.
I will show you.
- I'm sorry, Your Highest.
- Sorry?
What the hell did you think you were doing?
- Serving you.
- How the hell is that serving me?
- I knew you were upset and I am at your side always.
- No, no, you were trying to betray me.
- No, not at all.
- Were you trying to listen, Ruth?
- No, Your Highest.
- What did you hear?
- Something about a murder-suicide.
- So you were listening?
- No, I came to bring the drink.
- No, no, you were up to something.
You were up to something. - Your Highest--
- Where is my sword? - Your Highest--
- Where's my sword? I'll cut your ears off.
You won't be able to hear anything
- Your Highest, please. - Stop saying "please".
- I was just trying to help.
Here.
Cut it off.
- What are you doing?
- If I have disappointed you then just cut it off.
But you need to know that I was just trying to serve you,
Your Highest.
- Serving me?
- Yes, as your soon to be wife.
- Who told you that?
- Your Highest, no rules have been defined.
I don't know what you expect of me,
but I know we're not normal.
- No? What does that even mean?
- In normal cultures the wife would greet guests.
I was a stupid woman for thinking that
that was the right thing to do and I should have asked you.
I know that we are not normal.
Here, just cut it off.
Just cut it off.
- Put it down.
- [exhales] I'm sorry.
- I am angry.
- Yes, I'm sure.
- There is a lot of weight that is under me as a king.
- Yes, I understand.
- No you don't.
- You're right, Your Highest.
No one does.
- Then why would you say that?
- Because I can feel your distractions.
- You wanna know what's going on, Ruth?
- Only if you want to tell me.
- Do you really want to know?
- Only if you want me to know.
- We have two that escaped in the punishment trailer,
we have an FBI agent and his wife
in the torture trailer, and we have another
possible agent.
The one agent is -- the other's wife,
and they are all lying.
We have two that are tied up, Lilo is dead,
the deputy is dead.
The two people who lived on the land next door to us,
dead, all at the hands of our people.
The Sheriff, he's in on it, but he wants two million dollars.
I was taking three million from our skimmed Cartel accounts
and we were leaving.
That's everything Ruth.
But now that is all shot to hell
because of the greedy -- Sheriff.
Gah!
- Okay, um, may I speak?
- What?
- You, you are a brilliant leader.
You have already figured this all out.
- What have I figured out?
- You, you...
That there is a way out, and that is the Raku way.
- There seems to be no way out of this one.
- Your Highest, I have seen you play chess.
You are a master. You see ten steps ahead.
You have the answers. - [groans]
- You really do.
- Ugh, not this time.
- Well, I think if you meditated
maybe it will come to you.
- Nothing is coming.
- An FBI agent whose wife is sleeping with another agent,
and they both have guns.
I mean, that story could write itself if it,
if it didn't have you navigating it.
- Ruth...
- The old couple, the murder-suicide,
they own a lot of land. Maybe you can now own it.
- That is not possible. - [scoffs]
Everything is possible for you, Your Highest.
- I don't want to leave this place.
- Well maybe you don't have to.
If the Cartel thinks that Lilo took the money and got out,
they'll go after him and you'll have it.
- [sniffs]
How would I do that?
- Your Highest, you have thought of everything that I'm saying.
- No, I haven't.
I haven't.
- No,
it is your presence that makes me think of these things.
These are not my thoughts.
I'm a woman, and you are the Raku,
and I can't think like this.
- Hmm...
- What is that, Your Highest?
- I think you're right.
- Of course. - [sniffs]
Come.
- Yes, Your Highest.
- Lay your head next to mine right here.
- Okay, yes.
- Yes.
And tell me,
everything.
- Yes, Your Highest.
- I have a plan.
- Yes, you do.
A masterful one.
- [sighs]
Let's meditate.
- Yes, Your Highest.
- [sighs]
- MARVA: Sister Joan.
- Hello Elder Mother.
- I wonder what she did.
- I haven't a clue.
- Well she probably deserved it.
- Yes, I'm sure you're right.
- You can't think too high of yourself
when it comes to the Rakumas.
- Yes, I'm sure you're right.
- Oh yes, I know I'm right.
- How are you today Elder Mother?
- Oh, much better now.
[chuckles]
And you?
- I'm well, thank you for asking.
- Yes.
Woo,
it's such a fine Rakumas morning.
- Yes, yes it is.
- Oh, [tutting]
Such a shame...
- What's a shame Elder Mother?
- I miss Elder Mother Agnes.
Ooh, she would have enjoyed this so.
- Yes, I'm sure you're right.
- Well, do you miss her too?
- Yes, greatly.
It's very sad.
- She was such a nice companion to me.
- I'm sure she was.
- Yes. Well,
we need to get some things from the market.
- Oh, Elder Mother.
- Yes?
- Things have been really tight around here lately.
- What?
- I'm sure Elder Mother Agnes told you before she died.
- And what does that mean?
- Well, with Lilo-- - [gasps]
Don't mention that devil.
- Gladly.
That lascivious goon.
Well, ever since all that happened--
- Mmhmm.
- Well, we have been really restrained in our spending
and buying.
- And what does that mean?
- It means we won't be able to get everything on your list.
- Are you sure?
- Yes, Elder Mother, I'm sure.
- Oh, well I'll just talk to The Highest.
- Elder mother, you know he won't like that.
He hates to think about these things.
- Yes.
- So Elder Mother--
- Hmm?
- We can't get the pregnancy tests.
- Oh no child, we must.
- Elder Mother, that is a luxury,
a luxury that we simply cannot afford.
- No, no, no, no, no! I said we must!
- Elder Mother...
Well, you know what?
Then we can't, just won't get his prescriptions.
- I need them.
- Elder Mother, we're gonna have to choose one.
- Get one.
- Elder Mother that is money, money we cannot afford,
we do not have. - Joan.
- Elder...
- Get one.
And it had better be in that bag when that boy returns
from the market.
- Yes, Elder Mother.
But The Highest won't like it.
- I will talk to The Highest.
- Yes, Elder Mother
- And he will like it when he finds out.
- Finds what out, Elder?
- Never you mind, just do it!
Ha.
- Yes, Elder.
- That was rather dramatic.
- Par for the course.
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
- Zane, I know something's wrong.
- You can't help me.
- I can if you tell me.
- You can't even help yourself.

- It's pointless.
- Tell me.
- No.

- Yes. - The sexy one?
- Are you -- kidding me right now?!

- What? - Yes.
He put her in a box to give him --,
and then he stabbed her in the head.
- Damn.
- And he has been raping me.
- What?
You have to tell The Highest. - No.
- Why not? - No.
Do you see how close he's been getting with Dikahn?
- So? - He will say that I lied.
He will blame me, and I will be punished.
I just want to do what they say and get out of here one day.
- I'm gonna help you. - No!
- Yes I am, okay?
I will stop him.
- You're going to get me killed. - Trust me, okay?

How is that different?!
