00:00To Serena.
00:01We all have our roles to play.
00:03Serena needed to be reminded of hers.
00:05Did you try to find me?
00:06I tried so hard.
00:08Why didn't you try harder?
00:10What did you do?
00:11I did what was best for my child.
00:15You're getting out of Gilead.
00:16Have a nice life!
00:17Don't get caught!
00:18You gave her to a murderer!
00:23I sent her away, Fred.
00:25It was my choice.
00:26I drove you to desperation.
00:30It's a handmaid.
00:33You're sweet on her, aren't you?
00:34It's dangerous, my friend.
00:36You're helping her escape?
00:37Yes.
00:38She just needs a safe place to wait.
00:39It's your funeral.
00:41Women like you are like children.
00:44Asking for too much, taking whatever you want.
00:47Damn the consequences.
00:49Who's in the basement?
00:50Just Beth.
00:51We saw a rat.
00:52She screamed.
00:53That's a lie.
00:54I knew I was a mistake.
00:56Taking you in.
00:58Clean it up.
01:00Heresy.
01:08That's what they're hanging for.
01:24Not for being part of the resistance, because officially, there is no resistance.
01:31Not for helping people escape, because officially, there's no such thing as escape.
01:38They hang for being heretics, not martyrs.
01:42Martyrs inspire.
01:44Heretics are just stupid.
01:46Was I being stupid?
01:48Was I being stupid?
02:00I don't think Cora's up there.
02:02I don't think Lawrence would do that.
02:04Do you recognize anybody?
02:09It's impossible to tell.
02:11They're starting to smell.
02:15Looks like the same batch from yesterday.
02:17And the day before.
02:20Maybe they're done.
02:22With Martha's.
02:24Who's next?
02:25No time.
02:27And you.
02:28Go join the water.
02:29If I'm going to survive this, I'll need allies.
02:34Allies with power.
02:37To be a man watched by women.
03:01It must be entirely strange to have them watching him all the time.
03:10To have them flinch when he moves.
03:13To have them wondering, what is he going to do next?
03:18Does he like me?
03:21Will he keep me?
03:23Am I safe here?
03:31Cora wasn't.
03:32Blessed be the fruit.
03:36May the Lord open.
03:39Got the groceries.
03:40Anything else they can do?
03:41I got it.
03:45Could you plate the pastries, please?
03:48No problem.
03:50Where are they coming here?
03:52I don't know.
03:53My old commander said Lawrence won't go to meetings.
03:56If they want to talk to him, they have to come here.
03:59That's how powerful he is.
04:01Thanks for the insight.
04:06Sierra!
04:10Sierra!
04:14Go.
04:24I went to the square.
04:25I don't think Cora's up there.
04:28So she's on a bus to the colonies?
04:31Have you been getting any messages at all?
04:37Anyone who knows anything is probably up in those gals.
04:43Beth, refill!
04:44Coming!
04:47He's testing us.
04:48We're all disposable.
04:50Are Martha's supposed to be clean?
05:13Would you consider that a basic criteria for the job?
05:16Can I get the door for you, sir?
05:38I don't know.
05:39Are you capable of solving problems?
05:43Of making decisions?
05:49Do you know what the penalty is?
05:51For handmaids who open front doors?
05:52For handmaids who open front doors?
06:00I'm actually asking, I don't know.
06:03What do you think the penalty should be?
06:08What would be fair?
06:11What would be fair?
06:20Forget it.
06:21Forget it.
06:22I guess you're not capable.
06:29I guess you're not capable.
06:29The shipment of females from Chicago arrived yesterday.
06:42We have needs in the agricultural colonies.
06:44They're not worthy of the colonists.
06:47I'm looking at a utility maximization framework with a deteriorating labor supply.
06:53They're not worthy of any workers.
06:54They're not worthy of any workers.
06:55They're not worthy of any workers.
06:56They're not worthy of any workers.
06:57They're not worthy of any workers.
07:02Blessed be the fruit.
07:04I agree with Calvin.
07:05May the Lord open her.
07:08I hope you and Mrs. Waterford are well.
07:13Do you?
07:17Is Serena okay?
07:18Well, after what you put us through, I'm not sure.
07:23She's tough.
07:25She'll be okay.
07:33So, how's your new house treating you?
07:38I pray that God will make me worthy of my new commander.
07:43Well, I'm sure you'll prove yourself.
07:47What do you know about him?
07:50He's an interesting man.
07:55Instrumental in Gilead's creation, our visionary.
08:02What else?
08:07We've always found him a bit hard to read.
08:11Well, if you can't read him, I don't know who can.
08:16Lawrence is a survivor.
08:19Aren't we all, sir?
08:21He is particularly well-suited to it.
08:26He's not sentimental, not like me.
08:31I never found you overly sentimental, sir.
08:36Sir.
08:41You were merciful.
08:45You know, after everything, I'm still alive.
08:54I will always be grateful to you for that.
08:57But I'm not in your house anymore.
09:05I need you to tell me anything about Lawrence that you think could help me.
09:10He does not like to be bored.
09:16But I guess you knew that already.
09:23That's a day, Commander Lawrence.
09:27It's a privilege to be in your home again.
09:30Yeah, I always hated commuting.
09:33You two know each other.
09:37Oh.
09:39Yes.
09:40You used to be of...
09:44Fred.
09:46Do you miss it?
09:49Well, she's of Joseph now.
09:53I should let you go.
09:55Under his eye.
09:57Sure.
09:59You workin' hard?
10:11Yes.
10:13At what?
10:19You don't have to answer that.
10:28I'm not cold, Mom.
10:51Yes, you are.
10:59Our prayer circle's coming to the house today.
11:04I'll try and stay out of your way.
11:06No.
11:07Oh, they all want to see you.
11:10What an honor for them.
11:13I don't want to hang out with your friends, Mom.
11:15You're an excellent conversationalist.
11:18It wouldn't be a real visit if I didn't get to show you off.
11:23I don't have any clothes.
11:28Mrs. Manning gave us a dress that she's on for now.
11:33I think it will fit.
11:46This won't be too bad.
11:48I'm gonna take it up a bit.
11:51Fix that neckline.
11:52There you are.
12:00Praise be.
12:13You look beautiful.
12:14Lawrence wants you pouring the commander's drinks instead of me.
12:28Why?
12:30He said I wasn't pouring fast enough.
12:32Pages 10 through 16 detail the expansion of our training facility in Fort Stevens.
12:46To support the troop surge in Chicago.
12:49Phase one of the surge.
12:51We need to prepare ourselves for more troop deployments down the line.
12:54One last measured push in Chicago should roll up the last of the insurgents strongholds.
12:59No?
13:00The insurgents is contagious.
13:01We need to look at starting a steady, sustained bombing campaign.
13:05No, there's value to be mined there.
13:08Children.
13:09Fertile women.
13:10Move on to the next.
13:12On page 17, you'll see a timeline depicting a series of district-wide salvaging's beginning next week.
13:19I thought we discussed sending them to the colonies.
13:23Colonies are a slap on the wrist.
13:24They are merely women.
13:26Women under the sway of terrorists.
13:28We don't want our own women becoming restless, do we?
13:34Salvaging's are an effective tool of instruction.
13:37It's been too long since the last one.
13:38We know women can inflate their abilities and think they belong in places they don't.
13:48But they can also be put to use.
13:52And they can be fun.
13:55Look, Joseph.
13:56We're puzzling out how to assess an individual's value in the world as it pertains to gender.
14:10Weren't you a book editor once upon a time?
14:15Yes, sir.
14:16Many.
14:17Sex differences and cognitive abilities.
14:19The descent of man.
14:21An oldie but a goodie.
14:22That's what you were thinking of, right?
14:23I think I have it here somewhere.
14:24Would you get it for me?
14:26It's on top of the bookcase to the right of the door.
14:29Oh, dear.
14:32Kevin.
14:33Oh, dear.
14:35Oh, dear.
14:38Oh, dear.
14:40You're right.
14:41That's what you had to know.
14:43What's wrong was wrong?
14:45Oh, dear.
14:47I was a boy, Ralph.
14:49I was.
14:51I was mad.
14:53Oh, I was.
14:55Oh, the stack on the left, third book down, yellow lettering.
15:25Good job.
15:55Anything else I can help you with, sir?
15:57No, I'm good.
15:59You done?
16:02See, women can be useful.
16:18I'm good.
16:19I'm good.
16:20I'm good.
16:21I'm good.
16:23I'm good.
16:24I'm good.
16:25I'm good.
16:26I'm good.
16:28I'm good.
16:29I'm good.
16:30I'm good.
16:31I'm good.
16:32I'm good.
16:33I'm good.
16:34I'm good.
16:35I'm good.
16:36I'm good.
16:37I'm good.
16:38I'm good.
16:39I'm good.
16:40I'm good.
16:41I'm good.
16:42I'm good.
16:43I'm good.
16:44I'm good.
16:45I'm good.
16:46I'm good.
16:47I'm good.
16:48I'm good.
16:49I'm good.
16:50I'm good.
16:51I'm good.
16:52I'm good.
16:53You're good.
16:54I'm good.
16:55I'm good.
16:57You're good.
16:58I'm good.
16:59You're good.
17:00You're good.
17:01You're good.
17:02I'm good.
17:03You're good.
17:04You're good.
17:05Your mother has a lot of friends.
17:09She's an excellent conversationalist.
17:12I made something for you.
17:18Here.
17:48You will get through this, ma'am.
18:03By his hand.
18:05You know what's left of it.
18:14Though the earth give way,
18:16though the mountains fall into the sea,
18:17God is our refuge and strength.
18:21Dear Lord, please heal my wife.
18:25For my beloved is mine, and I am hers.
18:28God is our refuge and strength.
18:31And the Lord shall guide thee continually
18:33and satisfy thy soul in drought.
18:37Make fat thy bones.
18:38Show us thy mercy, O Lord.
18:43Thank you for your prayers.
18:44But is anyone else in need of comfort?
18:52Serena.
18:53Dear Lord, Serena Joy has suffered a great loss.
19:18Please give her relief from her distress.
19:21Be merciful to her and hear her prayers.
19:24The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.
19:26He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
19:29Psalm 6-2, please.
19:30Be merciful, O Lord, for I am faint.
19:46Heal me, O Lord, for my soul is in anguish.
19:53Dear Lord, we pray for the safe return of Serena's child.
19:56And we pray for her marriage to heal.
20:00For God is strong as death.
20:02Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord.
20:06For the husband is the head of the wife.
20:08Even as Christ is the head of the church,
20:11so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
20:14Let every wife see that she revere her husband.
20:18This is the word of the Lord.
20:19When we first were married,
20:32I'd come home and open the door with just a crack.
20:36I'd wait.
20:38I'd listen for your footsteps.
20:43I'd push open the door a little more.
20:45I'd dole out to myself little helpings of you
21:02like a kid with dessert.
21:03That kind of man I'd become married
21:11to a woman like you, coming home to you.
21:22Other men I...
21:25I felt sorry for.
21:28They had nothing to work for,
21:30nothing to fight for.
21:31But they didn't get to have you.
21:40The commander is...
21:44the head of the household.
21:46The house is...
21:49what he holds...
21:52to have and to hold till death do us part.
21:54And I may not be a perfect man, but I...
22:04will try to be better.
22:07If I lose you...
22:16If I lose you...
22:18I lose everything.
22:22That sounds good.
22:25Would you like to run through it again?
22:26I compose myself.
22:36Myself is a thing I must now compose.
22:39As one composes a speech.
22:45I'm not proud of myself for this.
22:48Or for any of it.
22:49You think an accountant could make a good cook?
22:58Yes, sir.
22:59Yes, sir.
22:59Binders full of women.
23:01I thought you might like some tea.
23:03Thanks.
23:04Long day.
23:05My work is...
23:06is just beginning.
23:07At least the people are gone.
23:08I don't know.
23:09You think an accountant could make a good cook?
23:10You think an accountant could make a good cook?
23:12Yes, sir.
23:13Binders full of women.
23:14I thought you might like some tea.
23:15Thanks.
23:16Long day.
23:17My work is...
23:18is just beginning.
23:19At least the people are gone.
23:27It's tiring having people around.
23:33It doesn't seem like that would be...
23:36Does it seem like that would be particularly difficult for someone like me?
23:50Oh, I don't really know what you're like, sir.
23:56Do you consider yourself good at managing people?
24:03Not particularly, no.
24:07You seem like you'd be good at making friends.
24:11Good at influencing people.
24:16Good at intimacy.
24:25Do this really work on Fred?
24:37Not exactly an intellectual giant.
24:43And again, neither are you.
24:45Perhaps you don't know me well enough yet, sir.
24:53Here's what I don't get.
24:54If women don't want to be defined by their bodies, why are they always using them to get what they want?
25:02Maybe they aren't.
25:03Maybe men are just too easily distracted.
25:06Speaking of the Waterfords, you really mucked up that house, didn't you?
25:16Fred demoted.
25:18Serena defingered.
25:19Baby, baby-napped.
25:20You left the place literally in ashes.
25:26Do you think they got what they deserved?
25:29No one in Gilead gets what they deserve, sir.
25:33How could they not realize how transactional you are?
25:37I did what I had to do.
25:39You think if you get me to like you, I'll help you?
25:43I think that you might try.
25:48I think you might try to do the right thing.
25:50What do you know about the right thing?
25:54I know you helped Emily escape with that baby.
25:57And I know you let the Marthas run a resistance network out of your house.
26:02You have to let the rebel rousers blow off a little steam or they'll smash everything to bits.
26:11Do you want to know why I helped Emily?
26:16I think you felt guilty.
26:17I think you felt sorry for her.
26:20You want me to feel guilty and sorry for you?
26:22Do you?
26:28I helped Emily.
26:32Because she is unnaturally smart.
26:36And could be useful to the world.
26:39One day.
26:41If you were smart, you would have gotten on that truck.
26:43You know why I couldn't.
26:44I think I care more about your daughter than you do.
26:48I'm saving the planet for her.
26:51I'm replenishing the human race for her.
26:56What are you doing?
26:57I am trying to be her mother.
26:58She has a mother.
27:00You met Mrs. McKenzie?
27:02She's a lovely woman.
27:03She never stole anybody's husband.
27:06Do you know that she organized a thousand food baskets for orphans in Africa back when there were orphans?
27:11What did you ever do to help anyone?
27:14Except edit esoteric useless books that no one was ever going to read instead of picking up your sick daughter from school.
27:23Useless.
27:27You wrote esoteric books.
27:30You did that.
27:31God.
27:32God.
27:33It must be scary.
27:34Huh?
27:35Seeing the numbers on those spreadsheets turn into real people.
27:37What?
27:38What?
27:39What?
27:40What?
27:41What?
27:42What?
27:43What?
27:44What?
27:45What?
27:46What?
27:47What?
27:48What?
27:49What?
27:50What?
27:51What?
27:52What?
27:53What?
27:54What?
27:56What?
27:58What?
28:07It must be scary.
28:08Huh?
28:09Seing the numbers on those spreadsheets turn into real people.
28:10Real people being executed.
28:12Knowing that if no one had read your books…
28:14we would all be better off.
28:15It must be hell being a man like that.
28:19Far worse than useless.
28:21Why you would do this? I suppose you would hole yourself up in a house like this.
28:26Playing games with people's heads, doing a good deed or two every once in a while so that you can fucking sleep at night.
28:32How tempting it is to invent a humanity for anyone at all.
29:02Come on.
29:14Let's take a drive.
29:32Let's take a drive.
30:02Let's take a drive.
30:32Let's take a drive.
30:34Let's take a drive.
30:36Let's take a drive.
30:38Let's take a drive.
30:44Let's take a drive.
30:50Let's take a drive.
30:56Let's take a drive.
31:02Five is better than none.
31:04Make them all, Martha's.
31:06Let's take a drive.
31:08Let's take a drive.
31:10Let's take a drive.
31:12Let's take a drive.
31:18Let's take a drive.
31:20Let's take a drive.
31:22Let's take a drive.
31:24Let's take a drive.
31:26Let's take a drive.
31:30Let's take a drive.
31:32Let's take a drive.
31:34information you need, names, ages, occupations, academic attainments, moral stains. That's
31:43dumb. Who gets to define morality? Just choose the best people for the job.
31:57No. I thought you might enjoy being useful for once.
32:04None of them deserves to die. What if I told you if you don't choose, they all die?
32:19I am not responsible for their deaths. You are. Gilead is. The technical distinction,
32:28it won't mean anything to these women. But I can see it's important to you.
32:32And that's more important than anything else, isn't it?
32:39I am not doing it.
32:44I won't.
32:45Close it.
32:52Oh, my God.
33:22Oh, they're all wet.
33:29You've gotten too used to the mild climate in the city.
33:33She's forgotten how we must battle the elements out here.
33:36Why don't you go upstairs, dear? Change.
33:38I'm fine.
33:40You need to get out of those wet things.
33:41No, I'm fine.
33:42Let Clara fix you some warm pumpkin soup.
33:45Clara, can you please excuse us?
33:52I really wish that you hadn't invited those people over.
33:59I'm sorry, dear.
34:00You told them everything about me and about my marriage.
34:03You're right.
34:04I shouldn't have done that.
34:06Why did you do it?
34:08Now that I know, I won't do it again.
34:10What can I make you to eat, dear?
34:16Stop it.
34:19You want me to go back to Fred?
34:22I only want you to be happy.
34:25I need you to know what it was like between us.
34:27No.
34:28And the things that we did...
34:30Those things are private.
34:31That's because you don't want to know.
34:33But because none of it matters.
34:40Look at you.
34:43All the gifts you've been given.
34:46But you need everything to be exactly how you want.
34:52Spoiled little girl.
35:00I'm sorry.
35:03You know there's no place in this world for you without Fred.
35:25You need to take a deep breath and see things.
35:29You're a beautiful woman.
35:30And Fred?
35:32You and Fred together?
35:35The water ferns?
35:38What a fine couple.
35:40That doesn't mean anything.
35:42It can.
35:44It can mean everything if you love it.
35:47Oh, God.
35:49Stop, Serena.
35:50Enough drama.
35:51It's not the worst thing in the world to watch a child in pain.
35:59The worst pain any mother could bear.
36:05No, it isn't.
36:09What?
36:10It's not the worst.
36:12It might help you to stop indulging those feelings.
36:19The self-pity.
36:25You gave that baby away.
36:27And it wasn't even yours.
36:39I'm going to draw you a hot bath.
36:43A hot bath will help.
36:44I, I hope.
36:46Look.
37:16Hi.
37:19Hey.
37:23You're not here for me.
37:44How did this happen?
37:46It was my deal.
37:48So you're a commander now, and if you can go get Anna,
37:51you can get me out.
37:54I'm sorry.
37:56Why?
37:57Why can't you?
37:58Is there something wrong with Lawrence?
38:00Lawrence is a psychopath.
38:03What do you know about him?
38:04I don't know anything.
38:06Can you find out?
38:07Not really.
38:08He's too high up.
38:09What can you do?
38:13Can you do anything?
38:14What are you good for?
38:18I'm getting deployed.
38:21To the front.
38:24Chicago.
38:28You'll get killed.
38:29I wanted to say goodbye.
38:36Goodbye.
38:37Goodbye.
38:45I don't know.
39:15I don't know.
39:45You have a visitor in the parlor.
39:58I don't know.
40:28Blessed be the fruit.
40:40Hi.
40:42How are you?
40:56Serena.
41:01Do you think about her?
41:10Every minute.
41:16How do you stop?
41:18How do you remember her?
41:46How do you see her?
41:49In the bath.
41:53She loved the water.
41:59She's gonna be a swimmer.
42:06Remember how she used to raise her hand?
42:12It's like she had a point to make.
42:15That's the politician in her.
42:18I think she gets that from you.
42:22She isn't mine.
42:28Serena.
42:30Only a mother could do what you did.
42:43Maybe you can just think.
42:44Maybe you can just think about all the other mothers who have had their children taken away from them.
43:00Like you.
43:07There has to be something we can do.
43:13That isn't why I came here.
43:18We can help each other.
43:20We cannot count on them.
43:23They hate us, Serena.
43:28They are not on our side.
43:33I tried.
43:38You have to try, Marta.
43:41I'm not that person anymore.
43:43You're scared.
43:45Use it.
44:02Maybe we're stronger than we think we are.
44:06How does it feel to be completely unreal?
44:31How does it feel to be a voter?
44:41And how does it feel to be a voluntary heel?
44:48I wonder who's it is.
44:53I made my choices.
44:56There was a time when women were able to choose.
45:00We were a society dying, Aunt Lydia would say, of too much choice.
45:09We know the sacrifices you are expected to make, she'd say.
45:13It is hard when men revile you.
45:15And how does it feel to be out on your own?
45:30How does it feel to be thinking?
45:37And how does it feel to be out on your own?
45:45With a mindless world of dreams...
45:49We have five new Marthas for the Resistance.
45:52An engineer.
45:53An IT tech.
45:54A journalist.
45:55A lawyer.
45:56And a thief.
45:57How do you know?
45:59I chose them.
46:01Cause it got me so high tied.
46:03I feel like most of me is dying.
46:07Upstairs now.
46:08Al and her sheets need changing.
46:12Hey, Sienna.
46:17We survived another day.
46:19And outside on the dragon.
46:26And inside in the cold.
46:31Mother.
46:32I think.
46:33Wherever you may be.
46:34Can you hear me?
46:36And that is just getting on.
46:40You wanted a women's culture.
46:42Well.
46:43Now there is one.
46:45It isn't what you meant.
46:47But it exists.
46:49Please.
46:50Please.
46:51Let me in.
46:52I have no say.
46:57But you know I'm not real.
47:03I'm not real.
47:12How does it feel?
47:14With the white flag in your fists.
47:18How does it feel?
47:21Half two faces.
47:25And how does it feel?
47:28With your guard strapped to your wrists.
47:30And him leading you such a chase.
47:37And here's what we do.
47:39We watch them.
47:41The men.
47:43We study them.
47:45We feed them.
47:47We please them.
47:49We can make them feel strong.
47:52Or weak.
47:54We know them that well.
47:57We know their worst nightmares.
48:00And with a bit of practice.
48:05That's what we'll become.
48:08Nightmares.
48:10One day.
48:12When we're ready.
48:14We're coming for you.
48:18Just wait.
48:30Run up.
48:45What's up?
48:51Who cares?
