00:00:18you want to know what it was like for me growing up in Gilead I'm ashamed to say
00:00:24that I believed in Gilead once I guess it's easier to accept a story even a
00:00:30childish one rather than believe that the people around you are monsters
00:00:41in this story I'm telling I'm not really sure what year it was sorry it's hard to
00:00:48remember actual dates because girls were forbidden to have calendars just reading
00:00:53one could cost you a finger you learn to mark time in other ways I know I still
00:01:08had my dollhouse it looked just like our real house it had my bedroom and the
00:01:15dining room a wife's parlor even an attic where the Martha slept
00:01:33I was a plum I didn't have my period yet in my world then I made all the
00:01:41difference it was all we wanted and it also terrified us
00:02:06I know what to do now that I've got a man like you
00:02:23the commander doll was always doing very important work just like my father
00:02:28keeping us safe from heretics and mayday terrorists
00:02:46the Martha dolls were always busy but at night they would let the little girl doll sit in the kitchen
00:02:51with them
00:02:52they would make her cinnamon toast and they would all talk
00:03:03there is a wife doll in blue of course
00:03:07that would be Paula who was my new stepmother then
00:03:11blessed morning Agnes dear
00:03:13Rosa how's your leg please tell me it's better
00:03:15yes ma'am it's kind of you to ask praise be his mercy
00:03:22the high dusting is catching up with us I'm afraid
00:03:25yes ma'am I'll do that after the commander's meeting
00:03:32thank you Zilla
00:03:34Zilla was new her tongue was removed as punishment before she was posted with us
00:03:40probably for blasphemy that was a big one for some wives
00:03:44well she's certainly an improvement that last one we had was a chatty Cathy
00:03:49sometimes when I was playing with the dollhouse
00:03:52I would lock the Paula doll in the attic
00:03:55which was not nice
00:03:56the Paula doll would pound on the door and scream
00:03:59but the little girl doll would pay no attention
00:04:02and sometimes she would laugh
00:04:03is that the new skirt
00:04:07up then
00:04:11well don't you look pretty as a picture
00:04:15thank you
00:04:17mother
00:04:20I was worried to make you look gawky
00:04:22but no
00:04:29praise be his mercy
00:04:31for not making me look too gawky
00:04:35I'm an irritant to Paula
00:04:39she wants me married and gone
00:04:42I was born in the sinful before world
00:04:45please keep the counter
00:04:46we don't want to get guns again
00:04:48yes ma'am

00:05:12what's the morning is that
00:05:17under his eye speedy
00:05:18bye rosa
00:05:35once when we were pinks
00:05:37I smiled at a boy on the playground
00:05:38the ounce taped my mouth shut
00:05:40and made me stand in the dining hall for two days
00:05:43holding the sign for a slut
00:05:44I was for smiling
00:05:46I wonder what would happen if I kissed one
00:06:04I would have done it
00:06:05but I was for you
00:06:07I don't know if I'm out of here
00:06:10but I was ready for the long story
00:06:12I was like
00:06:12I know what he was going to do
00:06:17but I was like
00:06:17I'm like
00:06:18I was so glad
00:06:24When we became plums, we started going on the field trips.
00:06:28They were fun.
00:06:30Some parts more than others.
00:06:50When I met you in the restaurant, I was no damn tongue.
00:07:02You asked me what's my pleasure.
00:07:05Come along, girls.
00:07:08Come on, girls.
00:07:09Can't sleep.
00:07:11And tell me what my dream is.
00:07:16Dreaming is free.
00:07:17Quiet, quiet, quiet.
00:07:19Dreaming.
00:07:22Dreaming is free.
00:07:24I don't want you to live on charity.
00:07:31Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
00:07:39Gross.
00:07:40Hold it, enough.
00:07:41God's justice is beautiful.
00:07:44I'm sorry, Aunt Vidala.
00:07:46Friends, these men.
00:07:50Do you know what crime they committed?
00:07:54Yes, Shunammite?
00:07:56Rape.
00:07:57Aunt Vidala, that's what the red X is for.
00:07:59It's for rape.
00:08:00Praise be.
00:08:01Friends, these men.
00:08:04These horrible men.
00:08:06These...
00:08:07Rapists?
00:08:08You say rapists?
00:08:10Rapists, yes.
00:08:12Thank you, Shunammite.
00:08:14I'm not a raper.
00:08:15I didn't know that.
00:08:16Friends, it's a ghastly story.
00:08:19These men stole a young girl, much like yourselves.
00:08:23This young girl was a kind who liked being the center of attention.
00:08:26A spirited girl.
00:08:28That kind of girl often earns a violent end for herself.
00:08:32Praise be His judgment.
00:08:34Praise be His judgment.
00:08:35These men saw this girl, and they were overcome by their urges.
00:08:40They came in the night and took her from her own bed.
00:08:45What about her guardians?
00:08:47Some of them were her guardians.
00:08:50The urges of men are terrible things, and those urges must be curbed.
00:08:54That is the burden that God has personally laid upon each of you.
00:08:58Just by existing, we were mortally dangerous to otherwise perfectly good men.
00:09:03They were helpless to resist us.
00:09:06Even us, the daughters of commanders, the most godly of girls.
00:09:31I was a precious flower.
00:09:34Then why did I sometimes feel like a prized pig?
00:09:37On the west.
00:09:38On the west.
00:09:39On the east.
00:09:39On the east.
00:09:41On ensuring!
00:09:42On the east.
00:09:53From the east.
00:09:58The succession.
00:10:05All tri didnt must die Jerome from us!
00:10:06Five of theendi
00:10:09At the Aunt Lydia school, pink dresses were for little girls, plum dresses were for older
00:10:13girls like us.
00:10:15Predestined to marry high Gilead commanders once we became eligible, which only happened
00:10:20if God blessed us with a period.
00:10:22Then we became greens, and got pins.
00:10:28Blessed be the fruit.
00:10:30You're insane.
00:10:31The skirt looks fine.
00:10:32May the Lord open, don't bother.
00:10:33Even God knows Paula has no taste.
00:10:39Becca was the first person I met when we moved here from Colorado.
00:10:43She was my best friend, except we weren't allowed to have best friends.
00:10:47The aunt said that best friends led to keeping secrets, and secrets led to disobedience.
00:10:51And disobedient girls became women who were immoral, obviously.
00:10:55We've been sent good weather.
00:10:57This blessing?
00:10:58You have your address today?
00:11:00Keep moving girls, let's go.
00:11:02After lunch.
00:11:02Becca was already green.
00:11:04She was getting ready to be matched.
00:11:06She was moving on, without me.
00:11:08But we didn't talk about that.
00:11:10This will be our third seamstress.
00:11:12My mother thinks if she gets the bodice just right, everyone will forget my dad's a dentist.
00:11:17Maybe she dresses you too.
00:11:19Blessed day.
00:11:20Blessed day.
00:11:21We've been sent good weather.
00:11:22That I received with joy.
00:11:23Very, very cute hair.
00:11:25Yeah, I definitely agree.
00:11:27Thanks.
00:11:27You, Martha.
00:11:28Blessed be yours too.
00:11:29Seriously.
00:11:29My Marcos socks, I look like I have a bed head.
00:11:32Shunammite.
00:11:33Chitter chatter, chitter chatter.
00:11:34Flap your tongue around and you're likely to lose it.
00:11:37Yes, Aunt Padala.
00:11:38Have a graceful day, girls.
00:11:40More haste, blessed thee.
00:11:44Aunt Lydia was a legend.
00:11:46Blessed day, Aunt Lydia.
00:11:47She had been worshipped, then vilified, then worshipped again.
00:11:52Blessed day, Aunt Lydia.
00:11:53In the four years since the war of Massachusetts, the purges had happened.
00:11:57As always, those remaining were able to shape history as they liked.
00:12:01Some people were hung, and some had schools named after them.
00:12:09At one time, we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived, and enslaved by all kinds of passions
00:12:15and envy.
00:12:16We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
00:12:21But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us.
00:12:26Not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
00:12:32White was for the pearl girls.
00:12:34They were new arrivals from outside of Gilead.
00:12:37Converts through a godly struggle.
00:12:39You might become heirs, having the hope of eternal life.
00:12:41Aunt Lydia and her missionaries gathered them from all over the world.
00:12:44They were mostly runaways.
00:12:47Of course they had to be young, and possibly fertile.
00:12:51Weirdos.
00:12:58Beyond said the pearl girls came eager for a new start.
00:13:01They were even more eager to prove their godliness by telling on you to the aunts.
00:13:06We all knew someone who had been ratted out by a pearl girl.
00:13:09Amen.
00:13:09The passion of the converted.
00:13:12What a pain in the ass.

00:27:35Hurry along!
00:27:36James, to your classes.
00:27:37Ciao, ciao.
00:28:03How's the table there, Agnes?
00:28:26It was a day.
00:28:28How was it?
00:28:30May the Lord open.
00:28:31Fine.
00:28:33Shut up.
00:28:34It was fine.
00:28:36I feel like obviously it is.
00:28:44Blessed day, graceful friends.
00:28:47We need your energy because we have some difficult work to do today for him.
00:28:58Are you ready?
00:29:00Yes, blessed day.
00:29:11Oh, someone's in trouble.
00:29:14Good.
00:29:14He's the gross one.
00:29:16This man is a sinner.
00:29:18Hidden amongst us.
00:29:20He was found touching himself.
00:29:23Abusing himself.
00:29:24On school grounds.
00:29:26Gilead trusted him to protect you, God's most precious girls.
00:29:32Instead, he chose wickedness.
00:29:35We do not play with the power of creation.
00:29:39What are they going to do to him?
00:29:41Quiet.
00:29:42He deserves our judgment.
00:29:43Do not relish in it.
00:29:45You are not blameless, girls.
00:29:47Shame upon any of you that tempt a man.
00:29:53Now, this is your decision.
00:29:55You will have to make many difficult decisions when you are wives.
00:30:00So what do you say, girls?
00:30:03Should this man go unpunished?
00:30:08Or should he pay?
00:30:34I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
00:30:53Oh, my God.
00:30:58Oh, my God.
00:31:09Frank, are you okay?
00:31:12I'm fine.
00:31:15Please be very concerned.
00:31:36Daisy?
00:31:38Daisy?
00:31:42Fuck.
00:31:43What the fuck was that?
00:31:44He broke the rules.
00:31:46They cut it off.
00:31:47I saw his arm.
00:31:49Jesus Christ, he was fucking wide awake.
00:31:51For fuck's sake.
00:31:52Jesus, what the fuck?
00:31:58I'm sorry.
00:31:59I...
00:32:00Agnes.
00:32:01Agnes.
00:32:03Don't...
00:32:03Don't tell.
00:32:05Oh, sweetie.
00:32:08Agnes, help Daisy get cleaned up.
00:32:26How do you feel?
00:32:28How do you feel?
00:32:32They told us about it some of these.
00:32:37I didn't think it'd be like that.
00:32:40Like what?
00:32:50Thank you for taking care of me.
00:32:56When Aunt Lydia gives you an assignment, you do it.
00:33:01Miss Agnes, I am so sorry.
00:33:03I committed blasphemy.
00:33:06You were unwell.
00:33:08I took his name in vain.
00:33:10Agnes, there's no excuse.
00:33:14I know I must confess.
00:33:17Okay.
00:33:20Aunt Lydia is in charge of punishing pro girls.
00:33:28I need to learn.
00:33:29Praise be her discipline.
00:33:31I need to learn.
00:33:38Do you think she'll cut out my tongue?
00:33:42There are stories.
00:33:45I know.
00:33:46Not for this.
00:33:48Probably not.
00:33:51Okay.
00:33:54If it's God's will.
00:33:55If it's God's will.
00:33:57If it's God's will.
00:33:59If it's God's will.
00:34:00I can't.
00:34:01Agnes, I can't.
00:34:02It's okay.
00:34:03You don't have to.
00:34:06You don't have to.
00:34:08It was just us.
00:34:25God sees our sins.
00:34:33We'll pray together.
00:34:35We'll show contrition.
00:34:39God is merciful.
00:34:42The Aunt's not so much sometimes.
00:34:47Are you sure?
00:34:51Our secret.
00:35:00Shunemite said Daisy was dangerous.
00:35:03She was right, of course.
00:35:06She said you should never, ever trust a pro girl.
00:35:09But that was exactly what I did.
00:35:21Blessed night, my girls.
00:35:25May God protect you.
00:35:36I don't know.
00:36:20I don't know.
00:36:30This is Radio Free Boston.
00:36:32If you're hoping for some tunes, you're in the right place.
00:36:35For our May Day heroes behind the lines, tonight's messages are on channel 99.2.
00:36:40And remember folks, don't let the bastards cry.
00:36:45Red Dog, Green House, White Barn, you have packages waiting.
00:36:49If you're in the Paperclip Club, sit tight.
00:36:52That's it for tonight.
00:37:24Oh, my life is changing every day.
00:37:32Every burst of the wave.
00:37:38All my dreams was never quite as it seemed.
00:37:46Never quite as it seemed.
00:37:52I know I felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more.
00:38:00Because it came from me.
00:38:06When I open up and see the person falling here is me.
00:38:14A different way to be.
00:38:39It was still cold, but I remember the nights were getting shorter.
00:38:44The shorebirds were back.
00:38:46You could hear them really high up.
00:38:48A sure sign of spring.
00:38:51I didn't know who my mom was yet.
00:38:54My real mom.
00:38:57That would come soon.
00:38:59I had no idea how much that would change things.
00:39:04Without calendars, you learn to mark time in other ways.
00:39:07It was when I became eligible.
00:39:10And when I met Daisy.
00:39:13It was when it all started.
00:39:16The aunts told us lots of girls never blossom because they're disobedient and prideful.
00:39:21And those girls are worthless to God.
00:39:23But getting your period was like a stamp of approval from God himself.
00:39:28I was one of the chosen ones.
00:39:31Me.
00:39:33Why me?
00:39:36There was a chance I'd be able to conceive.
00:39:39I was supposed to be ecstatic.
00:39:40And I was.
00:39:43But I was also scared to death.
00:39:46It's hard to tell one from the other sometimes.
00:39:49It's hard to tell one from the other times.
00:40:04Blessed morning.
00:40:10Rosa?
00:40:14Rosa?
00:40:15Rosa?
00:40:25What on earth are you doing skulking around?
00:40:29Blessed morning, Mother.
00:40:32Going out for a morning ride?
00:40:35It's too early for your manipulative nonsense.
00:40:37What are you doing?
00:40:44Mother?
00:40:45Mother, as he blessed Ruth and Leah, he has blessed me this day.
00:40:50As he answered the prayers of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca, he has saved me from barrenness.
00:40:56By his hand, he will make me fruitful.
00:41:04Blessed be his miracle.
00:41:08Wait for me in the parlor.
00:41:16When Becca got her period, her mom was so happy, she started laughing and crying at the same time.
00:41:21I doubt Paula has ever cried.
00:41:23Or laughed.
00:41:24We're not telling fibs now, are we?
00:41:27You know the aunts will do their inspection.
00:41:30No.
00:41:31I wouldn't.
00:41:36Welcome to the sacred calling of womanhood.
00:41:40There's a lot of tedious bother to the whole enterprise.
00:41:45These are called wings.
00:41:46They go beneath your underpants and snap shut.
00:41:49Like this, yes?
00:41:51Change the pads every few hours.
00:41:53Cleanliness is godliness, especially so on these days.
00:41:55You should never smell it on yourself.
00:41:57Understood?
00:41:58Yes, ma'am.
00:42:04I was scared my first time, too.
00:42:07Thank you for your help.
00:42:11It's a woman's duty to pass on this kind of wisdom.
00:42:16Of course, no one bothered to do it for me.
00:42:28Tabitha made this for you before she passed.
00:42:34It's a cover for your pad.
00:42:54As I was walking along the forest, I came upon an enchanted castle.
00:43:02I saw inside there were all these little girls locked up.
00:43:05Sweet, godly girls.
00:43:09They were all under the spell of wicked witches.
00:43:13Luckily, I had a magic ring.
00:43:15But the ring only had the power to save one little girl.
00:43:19So I looked at all of them very carefully.
00:43:21And out of the whole bunch, I chose you.
00:43:24Is that how I'll get a baby?
00:43:30You won't need to, sweetheart.
00:43:33You are going to have a baby grow inside your tummy.
00:43:46Blessed morning.
00:43:49Agnes has blossomed.
00:43:52Praise be his mercy.
00:43:54How do you feel?
00:43:57A little sick to my stomach.
00:44:00It's a blessing to feel your body's miracle.
00:44:05Agnes will have some appointments now that she's eligible.
00:44:08Yes, ma'am.
00:44:08There's the new doctor, of course.
00:44:11And the proper tailor.
00:44:12And I'll enlist Dr. Grove for the teeth whitening.
00:44:15We need to make her as appealing as possible.
00:44:17Yes, ma'am.
00:44:18Congrats, Agnes.
00:44:25I prayed so hard.
00:44:29How about some coffee?
00:44:31Isn't that what women drink?
00:44:33Yes, please.
00:44:34Yes, please.
00:44:37It's completely obvious.
00:44:39I'm walking weird.
00:44:41You're perfect.
00:44:45You're filled with his divine light.
00:44:48And then a husband.
00:44:53Yes.
00:44:54We pray a kind one.
00:45:00Hmm.
00:45:02A real young woman.
00:45:04Your mother would be so proud of you.
00:45:08Rosa took care of Tabitha when she was dying.
00:45:13She sat next to her bed and fed her ice cubes.
00:45:20I heard they're redistricting.
00:45:21Enjoy your special day.
00:45:23Under his eye, sweetie pie.
00:45:25Under his eye, Rosa.
00:45:29Would people notice the difference?
00:45:32That I was a woman now?
00:45:35Was it something you could sense?
00:45:37Like a wild animal in the grass?
00:45:40Or smell?
00:45:41Like the air before a storm?
00:45:45What's it, babe?
00:45:46Like a guardian walking past you in the summer heat?
00:45:50What?
00:45:53What?
00:46:06Like a fire?
00:46:08Admire.
00:46:09He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
00:46:13Amen.
00:46:26Blessed day, Miss Agnes.
00:46:27Blessed day.
00:46:28Have you seen Becca?
00:46:29No, I'm sorry.
00:46:30I was praying while I waited for you.
00:46:32You don't have to do that.
00:46:32Just go inside like a normal person.
00:46:34Where are you going?
00:46:35Curiosity got Eve kicked out of the garden.
00:46:38But Aunt Lydia said I should stay with you.
00:46:41You can't come.
00:46:42Is this about yesterday?
00:46:53Aunt Gabana?
00:47:12I'll see you later.
00:47:24Oh, my God.
00:47:26I'll see you later.
00:47:26Oh, my God.
00:47:28Oh, God.
00:47:33Oh, my God.
00:47:37Oh, my God.
00:47:39Oh, my God.
00:47:42Oh, my God.
00:47:46Beautiful, show the light.
00:47:48Oh, bless the day.
00:47:50Girls, up, up, let's go.
00:47:59Girls, up, up.
00:48:00Someone's going to last.
00:48:02Let's go.
00:48:12Girls, up, let's go.
00:48:42This was so blessed.
00:49:02Agnes Mackenzie, what a day this is.
00:49:07Aunt Vidalgo, as he blessed Ruth and Leah, he has blessed me this day.
00:49:11As he answered the prayers of Sarah and Rachel and Rebecca, he has saved me from barrenness.
00:49:17By his hand, he will make me fruitful.
00:49:21Praise be his mercy.
00:49:29Your blessing is a blessing upon us all.
00:49:39One of your own has been touched by his divine hand, girls.
00:49:43Praise be.
00:49:44Praise be.
00:49:45Praise be to you, guys.
00:50:01Take the meatloaf.
00:50:02You need iron and folic acid and bioflavonoids.
00:50:05I'm stuffed, hold up.
00:50:09Is your menstrual paddle soaked?
00:50:13No, not yet.
00:50:16Cool.
00:50:17You're so blessed.
00:50:20While green means more work and dancing in public, and Agnes hates dancing in front of people, that could be
00:50:25a nightmare.
00:50:26Shut up, she'll crawl into your tights.
00:50:31I'm sure you'll be next.
00:50:34My breasts have been feeling pretty sore.
00:50:37They look bigger, don't they?
00:50:39My father always said I was blessed in that department.
00:50:44Beck, I can't ask Paul if I can come to your house today.
00:50:48I can say it's for green stuff.
00:50:50Up, girls.
00:50:51I have another fitting.
00:50:53Up, up, quick.
00:50:53Check your tail feathers.
00:50:56We need you in corrections.
00:50:59Come.
00:51:00Pearl girl needs your guidance.
00:51:01On your special day?
00:51:03What a drag.
00:51:06Corrections were done in a separate part of the school.
00:51:09The aunt's wing.
00:51:11This room reeked of the aunt's.
00:51:13What did she do?
00:51:14I don't know.
00:51:15It smelled like boiled wool and sweat.
00:51:18It smelled of certainty.
00:51:19If certainty had a smell.
00:51:22This young woman made a confession.
00:51:24This morning, she has admitted to using the Lord's name in vain.
00:51:32Agnes.
00:51:35Aunt Lydia entrusted you to guide this girl as you would your own child.
00:51:40I'm sorry, Aunt Fadala.
00:51:43You have been blessed with womanhood today.
00:51:47Is that a challenge you are ready for?
00:51:50Yes, Aunt Fadala.
00:51:51Then show me.
00:51:53Teach your strained lamb.
00:51:55Get up!
00:51:57You don't lounge around while defending his name.
00:52:04What must a sinner do?
00:52:09Pay, Aunt Fadala.
00:52:12She must pay for her sins, Aunt Fadala.
00:52:14Pay for her sins!
00:52:15Pay for her sins!
00:52:17Tell her what she is, Agnes.
00:52:20Dirty words come from what?
00:52:25A dirty girl.
00:52:26Dirty girl!
00:52:27Dirty girl!
00:52:28Dirty girl!
00:52:29Corrections was our time to unleash.
00:52:32And we devoured it.
00:52:33Dirty girl!
00:52:33Dirty girl!
00:52:34Dirty girl!
00:52:35Dirty girl!
00:52:36I'm ashamed of how much I miss it.
00:52:38Dirty girl!
00:52:39Dirty girl!
00:52:40Dirty girl!
00:52:41Dirty girl!
00:52:42Dirty girl!
00:52:44Dirty girl!
00:52:45Dirty girl!
00:52:46Dirty girl!
00:52:46Dirty girl!
00:52:47Dirty girl!
00:52:48Dirty girl!
00:52:48Dirty girl!
00:52:48Whose fault is this?
00:52:50We understood power in rage.
00:52:52Dirty girl!
00:52:53Teenage girls appreciate rage.
00:52:55And Gilead, as elsewhere.
00:52:57You are nothing.
00:52:58You are a slut from the streets of Sodom.
00:53:01A child of sinners and wars!
00:53:02She was there!
00:53:04And she heard my blasphemy!
00:53:06I swear to God!
00:53:07I swear to God!
00:53:37All right, friends.
00:53:38I have a cake.
00:53:39I swear to God!
00:53:50Open.
00:53:55A vessel unclean has no use in the service of the Lord.
00:54:05God wants you to put your shoulder into it, Agnes.
00:54:09I expected more from you on your special day.
00:54:14Now clean up and get to class.
00:54:31That soap is disgusting.
00:54:36I heard the Marthas used rendered cow fat and fireplace ashes.
00:54:43By his mercy, at least, Aunt Gabbana spared our tongues.
00:54:48But I've taught you how to stay silent.
00:54:50Agnes, I had to confess my sins.
00:54:54I made a commitment to God to be a good pearl girl.
00:54:58Oh, congratulations.
00:54:58You're being a perfect little pearl girl.
00:55:00I didn't mean to rat you out.
00:55:02But when you got all up in my face, it was a lot.
00:55:05Corrections are a lot for you.
00:55:07Assembly is a lot for you.
00:55:08Maybe serving God is just too much for you.
00:55:11I really am sorry.
00:55:13Why did you come here?
00:55:15Why don't you just go back home?
00:55:19Not everyone has a home to go back to.
00:55:24Some people have crappy lives.
00:55:27A princess wouldn't get it.
00:55:33Vice Grace, I was granted a fresh start here in Gilead.
00:55:44Please give me a chance.
00:55:57And on this day of all days,
00:56:01I think you deserved every bit of that punishment.
00:56:03Every bit.
00:56:04Do you agree?
00:56:06Yes.
00:56:06You're coming, Mrs. Brighton.
00:56:07Please do say hello to the commander for me.
00:56:10I'll go see you, Mrs. McKenzie.
00:56:12Agnes, we'll be just a moment.
00:56:13Praise be.
00:56:18There are changes happening in your body
00:56:20and more on the way.
00:56:22Your prefrontal cortex is still developing
00:56:24and all the estrogen pumping through your body
00:56:26will tempt you into impulsive decisions.
00:56:30Dangerous ones.
00:56:33Womanhood is a test, Agnes.
00:56:35A life.
00:56:36Long.
00:56:37Long.
00:56:38Long.
00:56:40The aunts didn't teach us science.
00:56:43My prefrontal cortex had no idea what Paula was talking about.
00:56:49Dr. Grover's ready for you, Agnes.
00:56:57I blinked and you girls grew up.
00:57:01Becca's going to be thrilled you're agreeing now.
00:57:04I'm glad we're in it together.
00:57:06There's a lot on her mind today.
00:57:09Now, Becca's a worrywart.
00:57:10It's just how she is.
00:57:12Open.
00:57:17Well, praise be.
00:57:19Perfect teeth.
00:57:20Just perfect.
00:57:23You know, maybe you could help her through it all.
00:57:27She's less anxious around you.
00:57:29I mean, you've always been so mature for your age.
00:57:36Only an x-ray to go.
00:57:38Can I get a size 2 bite wing, please?
00:57:49Now, I hope that this isn't too heavy for you.
00:57:56I imagine your breasts must be quite tender.
00:58:04It's not too heavy.
00:58:07Lovely.
00:58:09You know, you really are getting to be a big girl, Agnes.
00:58:22And that's that.
00:58:24Let's take some pictures.
00:58:26Excellent.
00:58:28Open.
00:58:32And bite.
00:58:34Perfect.
00:58:42Still as you can be.
00:59:06That's when I started having nightmares about my wedding night.
00:59:09About my husband.
00:59:13A dark bedroom.
00:59:17And then a smell.
00:59:20And then he was in front of me, my husband.
00:59:24But he had no face.
00:59:27I tried to run away, but he always caught up with me.
00:59:31Wake up.
00:59:34Agnes.
00:59:35Aunt Lydia.
00:59:36Yes.
00:59:37It's time.
00:59:38Come along.
00:59:53It's a chilly night, dear.
01:00:20Come along, dear.
01:00:22Come along, dear.
01:00:48We gather here tonight as this daughter of Gilead comes of age.
01:00:55Seeking his divine protection, and she will need it, his protection.
01:01:01For being a woman on God's green earth is no easy feat.
01:01:08In you go, dear. Rub-a-dub-dub.
01:01:19But we needn't look so far back to see the suffering of women, do we?
01:01:24That's why Gilead was created. To bring women back to their rightful place.
01:01:38The world would be lost without you. Who can bring forth God's children?
01:01:43Who will populate this world so his divine presence can be multiplied?
01:01:51Who? But you. You join your sisters now in this holy endeavor.
01:02:15Agnes.
01:02:15You did it.
01:02:15Agnes.
01:02:15You did it.
01:02:30Agnes Mackenzie, jettison all that came before this moment and embrace your new role.
01:02:36May the generations born to your womb be worthy in his eyes.
01:02:42Blessed be the fruit.
01:02:44Blessed be the fruit.
01:02:48May the Lord open.
01:02:59A token of your passage.
01:03:02May he bless your new path under his eye.
01:03:07Under his eye.
01:03:17Wonderful.
01:03:25Hi.
01:03:27Want some help?
01:03:31I thought I was going to drown in there.
01:03:34Me too.
01:03:36When I had my initiation, I feel like I'm still drowning.
01:03:43It's better that you're here now.
01:03:48Praise be.
01:03:51I thought you were mad.
01:03:56This was your season and I was ruining it.
01:04:01I thought you didn't want me to be a green.
01:04:08I didn't.
01:04:11I didn't want this for either of us.
01:04:19I don't want to get married.
01:04:23I don't want a husband.
01:04:36But what else would you do?
01:04:41I don't know.
01:04:42I don't know.
01:04:48Aren't Lydia said we...
01:04:50get to leave everything behind?
01:04:54Everything that happened before tonight?
01:04:58Do you think that's real?
01:05:02What would you want to leave behind?
01:05:16it will be great pushing strollers together no odds following us around

01:08:52It made no sense to say you didn't want to get married.
01:08:56It was going to happen. Want had nothing to do with it.
01:09:01There were things to be wanted.
01:09:07Even in Gilead.
01:09:08Even if there were consequences.
01:09:17Blessed morning.
01:09:19Blessed morning.
01:09:29I pray you know smoking is not allowed, right?
01:09:36Yes, Ms. Agnes.
01:09:39My apologies.
01:09:46Congratulations on your initiation.
01:09:55Better get inside, Ms. Agnes.
01:10:05Sometimes you couldn't help but one.
01:10:08Even if you tried your best to stop it.
01:10:14But there is no point to it.
01:10:18Or that wanting.
01:10:26Agnes, finally.
01:10:33Your father is home.
01:10:35He'll be pleased to hear of your development.
01:10:56You look so pretty this morning.
01:11:01He's in the parlor.
01:11:11Finished.
01:11:12The samples can be contaminated.
01:11:14All these things need to be fixed.
01:11:16If they're temp controlled, then I think the transport is going to be fine.
01:11:19It's certainly vital.
01:11:21Blessed morning, Angel.
01:11:27Hmm.
01:11:29Come here.
01:11:33I know.
01:11:43I'll be there now.
01:11:46Hello.
01:11:47Oh, God.
01:11:52Thanks again.
01:11:57Father, as he blessed Ruth and Leah, he has blessed me this day.
01:12:01As he answered the prayers of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca,
01:12:04he has saved me from barrenness.
01:12:07By his hand, he will make me fruitful.
01:12:11I know he will.
01:12:18Blessed be the fruit, Agnes.
01:12:20May the Lord open, Daddy.
01:12:24Going to the chapel and we're going to get married.
