00:00I've been reduced. I suppose I'm one of the lucky ones.
00:03No! No!
00:06My posting is like a blessing from God.
00:09The real blessing was that bomb.
00:12Anyone helping Gilead deserves to be blown apart.
00:14I was thinking maybe I could screw some of our house.
00:16Whatever you want.
00:17Please be.
00:18Mm-hmm.
00:21You know what I think about is. What we could be.
00:24I think about it too.
00:26Alfred, I've given it some plot.
00:27You'll be leaving the house as soon as the baby is born.
00:31I think we've all had more than enough of one another.
00:33Don't you?
00:35I know I should accept the reality of you being born here.
00:39Make my peace.
00:42But fuck that.
00:57You treat it like a job, an unpleasant job, to be gotten through as fast as possible.
01:19Kissing is forbidden.
01:26This makes it bearable.
01:32One detaches oneself.
01:34One describes.
01:45An act of copulation.
01:47Fertilization, perhaps.
01:50No more to you than a bee is to a flower.
01:52You steal yourself.
01:58You pretend not to be present.
02:01Not in the flesh.
02:04You leave your body.
02:05You leave your body.
02:05No more to you than a bee is to a tree.
02:18No more to you than a bee.
02:20He alsofires.
02:20You are in love.
02:23No more to you than a bee is to becent.
02:25Roy?
02:51Roy?
02:52Roy!
02:55Oh!
02:57Oh!
02:58Oh!
02:59No!
03:00Get help!
03:02Chances are better if I lay on my back afterwards.
03:07What?
03:08Doris!
03:09Call the ambulance!
03:12Oh!
03:13Oh!
03:14Oh!
03:15Oh!
03:16Oh!
03:17Oh!
03:18What?
03:20Oh!
03:21Oh!
03:22Oh!
03:23Oh!
03:25Oh!
03:27Oh!
03:28Oh!
03:29Oh!
03:30Oh my god.
04:00I know, right?
04:01I heard his wife had to get him off of her.
04:03I heard he was inside her.
04:06Ew.
04:30I was thinking of making a sweet custard pie for tonight.
04:36Okay.
04:38Sounds good to me.
04:40I...
04:41I'd best score this day would be nice, too.
04:46I'd best score this day would be nice.
05:16Hey, are you okay?
05:22She's going to a new posting soon.
05:27Maybe it won't be as bad this time.
05:30Hey, listen.
05:32I have news.
05:34Moira made it to Canada.
05:36She made it.
05:37She got out.
05:38Oh, praise be.
05:41Maybe we could all end up in Canada one day.
05:43Do you hear that, Emily?
05:46You cannot give up.
05:49You're going to see her son again.
05:55Emily.
05:56I'm not his mother anymore.
06:00Of course you are.
06:03You are his mother and you love him.
06:06You think he feels that?
06:07Yes.
06:11What the fuck is wrong with you?
06:12At least your son is in Canada.
06:17He's free.
06:18With your wife.
06:20You.
06:27Contraction?
06:29Okay.
06:30Help.
06:32She's going into labor.
06:33It's time.
06:38Freeze me.
06:38Take care.
06:41Stay back.
06:41Oh, my God.
07:11You okay?
07:14Yeah, I'm all right.
07:17Let's go on.
07:41Before I formed thee in the belly, I knew thee.
08:01And before thou camest out of the womb, I sanctified thee and ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
08:07We did it all for it.
08:23And this is the will of God, and we shall rejoice and be glad in it.
08:35No one knows the things of God.
08:37No one knows the things of God.
08:49At least this is the last time I'll have to get into that fucking bed.
09:05No one knows the things of God.
09:12What?
09:17Oh, my God.
09:47Okay, hold on, please.
10:06Rearrange the pillows properly.
10:09Towels, here.
10:10Hi.
10:11Hi, little one.
10:13It's time to come out now.
10:15Be courageous and do not fear, for God is with you.
10:41He will strengthen you and help you.
10:48He will uphold you with his righteous hand.
10:53Oh, blessed and glorious day.
11:07Babe.
11:08I'm sitting.
11:13I'm writing you.
11:27I will take a seat.
11:31Dining room.
11:40Time to celebrate.
11:44Nice to see you.
11:45Please.
11:46Excuse me.
11:47May we pray for success.
11:50And how is your little one?
11:51She has gained six and a half ounces.
11:54Thank the Lord.
11:55Praise be.
11:58Congratulations are also an order for Commander Horace.
12:01Newly promoted upon his wife's pregnancy.
12:05Congratulations.
12:08No hand made for you, then?
12:10No.
12:12May the Lord bless all future commanders as he has blessed us.
12:21Excuse me.
12:24Praise be, Waterford.
12:25Welcome.
12:27My handmaid is about to reach her expiration date.
12:30And she wasn't that much fun to begin with.
12:33How's yours?
12:36Well, she is...
12:37proven and fruitful.
12:41And not bad looking either.
12:42You so deserve this.
13:00I want to make them feel like a woman.
13:01May I help you.
13:01I will give you one of the time.
13:09Perfect time.
13:11You're so beautiful.
13:12God goes with you.
13:14Good.
13:16Yes.
13:17Deep breaths.
13:19Good.
13:21Good.
13:23Good.
13:39Doing well.
13:44Mrs. Waterford?
14:14False labor fools the best of us.
14:23You might consider timing the contractions next time.
14:35I'm sorry, Mrs. Waterford.
14:36I'm sorry, Mrs. Waterford.
15:06Well, cervix is closed and zero percent effaced.
15:36Your baby isn't coming any time soon.
15:40There were contractions.
15:43Braxton Hicks, they were not productive.
15:46She should be induced today.
15:48Given the severe bleeding earlier in the pregnancy, we're already looking at a high-risk birth.
15:53We prefer not to introduce chemicals into the process unnecessarily.
15:57However, seeing as the baby's measuring over nine pounds and the handmaid is petite, I might consider inducing in a week or two in order to avoid C-section.
16:09Until then, we must encourage the baby to come out the natural way.
16:13Vigorous walks, mango salad.
16:16I know of a spicy tea that works wonders.
16:20Tea.
16:21How spicy is it?
16:27It's hard burn.
16:29Could hurt the baby, you know?
16:33We are all impatient.
16:36I can promise you that this pregnancy will end soon and Offred will be off to her next posting.
16:43In a new district.
16:47Change of scene.
16:50You're right, Mrs. Waterford.
16:52It's been lovely.
16:54I think it's probably best if we don't ever see each other again.
17:24It's late.
17:49I know.
17:52You're going to make me leave this house very soon.
18:18Yes.
18:20Serena wants to send me to a new district.
18:24Does she?
18:27Change of scene, she said.
18:33Dan, that's not what you want.
18:41You have been kind to me.
18:54More than other commanders would have been.
18:58And you're going to be a father.
19:05Yourself soon.
19:11I need your help.
19:18What is it?
19:20I've already lost a child.
19:21I'm about to lose another one.
19:33It would help if I could be moved to my daughter's district.
19:46Please.
19:47Please.
20:01If it is at all within your power to do that.
20:14Who are you?
20:15Who are you to tell me what's within my power?
20:24I understand that it's unusual.
20:37I would never approach her.
20:38She would never even see me.
20:50I can promise you that.
20:51I've been too lenient with you.
20:52Too indulgent.
20:53What?
20:54I've spoiled you.
20:55Get out.
20:56Get out!
21:01Get out!
21:20Get out!
21:48I shouldn't have expected you to understand.
21:58You have no idea what it is like to have a child of your own flesh and blood.
22:13And you never will.
22:16How was work?
22:43work challenging day all the days will be challenging until the baby arrives I
22:55think offered was happy that the baby didn't come do you yes I think she
23:09enjoyed it she has forgotten her place the doctor refuses to induce there's nothing we can do but
23:23wait for the baby to come do you really think so suppose there are ways baby might to come out
23:36sooner I think the best way is the most natural way
24:06listen to my voice
24:28this is your mother
24:32and I love you
24:38and I always will
24:43okay
24:47this is what if Fred wants to see you
24:54I'll tell the baby about you
25:14so
25:16okay
25:19so
25:51Please come and sit.
26:21We need to help the baby come out naturally.
26:39Please.
26:40No.
26:41Please.
26:42Please.
26:43The natural way is the best way.
26:57It could hurt the baby.
26:58No, it's what's best for the baby.
27:00Serena, listen to me.
27:01You don't have to do this.
27:03Stop it.
27:04It doesn't have to be this.
27:05Stop it.

27:49Stop.
27:50No! Please, no! Please, no!
27:54No! No!
28:01You treat it like a job.
28:06One detaches oneself.
28:12No more to you than a bee is to a flower.
28:20No more to me.
28:22No more to me.
28:25Not me.
28:28Not my flesh.
28:50Hmm.
29:02I'm not here.
29:20I'm not here.
29:22I'm not here.
29:23I'm not here.

33:58Hi.
34:02Hi.
34:04Hi.
34:05If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness.
34:16Don't you care?
34:20Why don't you care?
34:23It's okay.
34:24You're not in trouble.
34:28You don't look at me.
34:30You don't touch me unless you have to.
34:33You've never kissed me.
34:34I've never been kissed until tonight.
34:35I'm your wife.
34:40You just caught me cheating on you.
34:42You should care.
34:55It's the handmaid.
35:02Evening.
35:02You like her.
35:10Why do you like her?
35:14You're not making any sense.
35:19Just tell me.
35:20Eden, I would never get involved with a handmaid.
35:29It would be suicide.
35:30So you just don't love me?
35:43So you just don't love me?
35:47Look, I'm sorry.
36:01Look, I'm sorry.
36:04Please stop crying.
36:23Please stop crying.
36:53Please stop crying.
37:23I've planned a surprise for you.
37:46I think you'll like it.
37:53Be back in three hours before Sarita notices you're gone.
