00:14All the leaves are bright, the sky is grey, and the sky is grey, I've been for a while and
00:25for a while and for a while.
00:45You've asked me to explain how I got involved in this insane story, how I wound up in Gilead, I
00:53kept asking myself those questions too, especially during those early ass mornings.
01:00Well, I got down my knee, and I pretend to break, you know the preacher likes the cold, he knows
01:14I'm gonna stay, California dream, on such a winter's day.
01:25Back in Toronto, we'd studied Gilead in school. Our teacher said that even though it seemed like Gilead happened overnight,
01:33there were signs of what was coming.
01:35Candidates running for office had said things openly, about women, about gays, but they still were elected.
01:44People thought they were speaking in hyperbole. Now women can't have jobs, or phones, or read books, and gay people,
01:53well, you know what happened to them.
02:13Back home, I used to use honey in my tea. I don't do that anymore.
02:32We can leave some pamphlets here, for anyone who wants to learn more.
02:35Gilead, Gilead welcomes all of God's children.
02:38Sure, I'll keep with you out.
02:39Bless you ma'am, you're very kind. A gift, for your generosity.
02:55Why are you so nice to those freaks?
02:57Why be cruel?
02:58Because their country sucks, and they hate women.
03:02Help me with this, would you?
03:04What's that? I can almost hear the bed bugs.
03:07Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
03:09Did you get this stuff on my list?
03:10All that junk food? Yeah. Wasn't a nutrient in there.
03:15How was school?
03:16Fine. Justin and I passed the social studies quiz.
03:21Things are getting serious, huh?
03:22Dad, because we passed a quiz.
03:24Because we're a we now. Going upstairs.
03:27Should we get dinner started?
03:28We should, and we shall.
03:30Do you want me to set up an appointment with Dr. Lin?
03:34God, Mom, we're not having sex.
03:36Okay, that's cool.
03:38You know, it's cool if you are, too.
03:42I mean, I lost my virginity around your age.
03:45Can we please not do this?
03:46I'm serious. I speak from experience.
03:49I'm going upstairs.
03:50What? Why?
03:51I need your help with the new inventory.
03:52But I have to go get ready for all the sex
03:54that we're having with Justin now.
03:57All that hard, sticky sex.
04:18I saw my mom ask me if we were phoning.
04:25Is it good?
04:27Okay.
04:27Here.
04:29What did you say?
04:30I said no.
04:32I said you weren't ready.
04:34Yeah.
04:35Yeah, right.
04:40I kind of feel bad lying to her.
04:44I kind of just want to tell her we slept together.
04:47Yeah.
04:47Oh, that was you.
04:48Yeah.
04:49I thought so.
04:50Yeah.
04:51It was nice.
04:52Oh, funny.
04:54Funny.
04:54Does that mean...
04:57Does that mean every time she sees me, all she's going to think is
05:00that's the guy that deflowered my daughter.
05:03Oh, ew.
05:04Don't use that term.
05:06No.
05:07Besides, she clearly already thought you had.
05:09Well, it's your mom, so, you know, you're gone.
05:14Maybe that's a good thing.
05:16I'd honestly rather do it at my house than in Tony's basement.
05:21What?
05:22That old baton couch doesn't get you going?
05:28I'm going to sell her.
05:30And then I'm going to ask if we can spend the night this weekend.
05:38Okay, well, in case she, you know, hangs me by the balls instead.
05:42Yeah.
05:46What is it?
05:48A gift.
05:50For what?
05:52No reason.
05:53I just know you like old things.
05:57Thanks.
06:03This is really fucking cool.
06:07Oh, yeah.
06:43Come on, come on, come on.
06:44Everybody step back.
06:45Please step back.
06:46Hey, get off me.
06:48That's all.
06:51Mom?
06:53Dad?
06:54Mom?
06:55Mom?
06:56Step back.
06:57Dad?
06:58Walk back.
06:59Come on.
07:00Get the fuck off me.
07:00Get the fuck off me.
07:01Hey, hey.
07:02That's my parents.
07:03I'm sorry.
07:04My mom and dad.
07:05Sarah.
07:05They're in there!
07:06This is the daughter!
07:07What happened?
07:15MOM!
07:39It's so cold!
07:40It's the glory of God!
07:41We should be more grateful, don't you think?
07:48MUSIC
08:05Gardening classes will be managed by Aunt Estée for the day.
08:08Perhaps we prune the roses.
08:10They have grown since it last rained.
08:12Very well.
08:13And Aunt Gabbana will continue the hymnal curriculum with the choirs.
08:17How is that coming?
08:18With God's grace, they should be ready by the ball.
08:21God's expectation is that they will be ready by the ball.
08:24Not should.
08:26Of course.
08:27We must also keep an eye on the alto section with the second year in pinks.
08:31Sarah, Rachel, and now Anna are consortium with only one another.
08:35We mustn't allow that to fester.
08:40Daisy, get yourself cleaned up.
08:42And go find your plum.
08:44There's a field trip this morning.
08:46Yes, time for dollar.
08:51Does Aunt Lydia intend to pair all the pearl girls with the commander's daughter?
08:56God knows.
08:57I imagine most will become econo wives.
08:59The whole program confounds me.
09:10Far be it from us to criticize Aunt Lydia's intentions.
09:30Mrs. Judd has graciously opened her home to us.
09:33This is an opportunity to learn.
09:36Especially for you, green girls.
09:43I liked going to the zoo.
09:45Well, we're not ten anymore, hold on.
09:48It'll be fun.
09:49We get to see Penny.
09:51Mrs. Judd.
09:52Mrs. Commander Judd.
09:54She's still Penny.
09:59Lots of adults like going to the zoo, you know.
10:03Heads up.
10:04Dirty girl coming.
10:08Blessed be the fruit.
10:10May the Lord open.
10:17You've been sent by mother.
10:18She already received the joy.
10:21Single file line.
10:23Punctuality requires order.
10:44Have a blessed day, Miss Evans.
10:47May the Lord open.
10:52I wasn't surprised she wanted to bone him.
10:55I mean, look at him.
11:06Heads up.
11:14We got out.
11:26We got out of trouble.
11:28Oh, that's right.
11:29You'll be saladinies.
11:30The horrible moment of the zoo, you're sort of the name.
11:32I can't see what we're going to do.
11:33I wish I can make the olmayas for you.
11:34Probably a few days.
11:34I'd be stop in, you know.
11:35I can't be right back to a cameraman in the zoo.
11:42I used to stare at Justin like that.
11:47Every inch of him.
11:51That's your guardian, right?
11:54You're being a slut.
11:56What?
11:57Lusting after him so openly.
12:00It's a gateway to hell.
12:02I pray they teach you pearls better than that.
12:05Yeah, okay.
12:07I'm the slut.
12:11Apologies, Miss Agnes.
12:16Chapin, something ahead.
12:22What's going on?
12:24I don't know.
12:30Chapin, here.
12:32What is that?
12:33It's Chapin's waiting.
12:35I can't tell you.
12:38They're armed.
12:39Shooters.
12:47We're gonna go upstairs.
12:53We're at a attack.
12:54Keep you back up.
12:55Repeat me, I'll under attack.
12:56Send the team to back up.
12:59I'm back up.
13:00I'm back up.
13:02I'm back up.
13:03I'm back up.
13:04I'm back up.
13:04I'm back up.
13:11Let's go.

14:16What?
14:17Come on!
14:30Axel!
14:54Hi
14:55I'm Tim
14:56I'm with Social Services
14:58I swear for your loss
15:00Okay
15:03I'm sorry I'm still really stoned
15:05That's fine
15:08It's tea
15:11Do you want a soda?
15:12I need my phone
15:14The police took it
15:15Is there anyone I can call for you?
15:17Some family, maybe?
15:18I just want my phone.
15:20Sure.
15:21We can sort through all that together.
15:23But we don't have to do that here.
15:25I'll go sign you out real quick and then we'll leave.
15:31Drink your tea.
15:32Don't move.
15:57Daisy?
15:59Hi.
16:00I need you to come with me.
16:02Are you in social services too?
16:04There's been a change of plan.
16:07I need my phone with the other guy who's getting it.
16:09Another guy?
16:10Yeah, he gave me this tea.
16:13What are you doing?
16:14Come on.
16:15Okay, I'm going back for my stuff.
16:17No.
16:18No, why?
16:19Because you're in danger.
16:20I need to get you out of here.
16:21What?
16:21In danger from what?
16:22Danger from what?
16:23Shh.
16:24Come on.
16:38You're in danger from the people who killed your parents.
16:41The people who robbed the store?
16:42It wasn't a robbery.
16:43Neil and Melanie were murdered.
16:45They were killed and now you're in danger.
16:47Pardon fucking me what?
16:49You're not from social services?
16:51No, I'm not.
16:52That guy isn't from social services either.
16:54Look, Daisy, I'm sorry.
16:56No one should have to go through this, but I need you to trust me.
17:00Who are you?
17:03Who are you?
17:18Shit.
17:21Shit.
17:33I was a friend of your parents.
17:35I was a friend of your parents.
17:41You have been to the store many times.
17:58What's your name?
18:08June.
18:10My name is June.
18:13Daisy, I need you to come with me.
18:18Okay.
18:19June, listen.
18:20I'm still pretty stoned.
18:22Right.
18:23Okay.
18:24Fine.
18:25Uh, we'll deal with that.
18:26Yeah.
18:27Come on.
18:28Let's get you somewhere safe.
18:44Thank you for shielding me.
18:50God found a way to make me useful.
18:58Honestly, I'm just terrified.
19:01Me too.
19:05Hold up.
19:07Does it hurt?
19:08I said that it would heal.
19:10Praise be.
19:11Minimal scarring.
19:13Aunt Vidala's arm is broken.
19:17May he bring her comfort.
19:23Do they know who did it?
19:26Mayday.
19:27Godless animals.
19:29They're the terrible people we're enemies with.
19:31They hate us.
19:34Hold up.
19:36Tell them what else you saw.
19:43They were bandaging a guardian.
19:45His shirt was lifted.
19:47And there was hair on his stomach.
19:50All over.
19:53What do you mean?
19:54It was short and stubbly, almost like when my dad goes his beard out.
19:59That's repulsive.
20:01Yeah, it is.
20:03Do all men have it?
20:08Most men do.
20:11Most grown men.
20:15It depends, I think.
20:17On what?
20:18Broadliness.
20:20Genetics.
20:22One of God's mysteries.
20:26How would you know?
20:28Because in Toronto,
20:30I had sex with thousands of men.
20:35A real statistical cross-section.
20:41I used to go to the beach.
20:45Like everyone else.
20:49You saw bodies.
20:50Men would go shirtless.
20:53And the hair.
20:55Well, it keeps going.
20:59Lower.
21:00Oh my God.
21:03Oh God, protect us.
21:05I wonder which one of the commanders has it.
21:07Shoot.
21:08Shoot.
21:10Oh my God.ider.
21:13I'm
21:13here. He's
21:15watching this. He's
21:19watching this. He's
21:21watching this. I'm
21:30here to get to eat. He's
21:32I'll eat this. I don't
21:32know. I'll eat
21:33this. He's watching
21:48Is your head any clearer?
21:51Want to eat something?
21:53Can I borrow your phone?
21:55I need to call my boyfriend.
21:56He's going to be, like, worried.
21:58Why don't you eat something and then we can talk about it?
22:01Or let me call my boyfriend and then I'll eat something.
22:05We're not negotiating.
22:10Why would anyone murder my parents?
22:14It was Gilead.
22:16Agents from Gilead.
22:19Agents from Gilead killed my parents?
22:22Mm-hmm.
22:24Why in the fucking world would that be true?
22:35Do you know what May Day is?
22:37Sure.
22:38Learned about them in school.
22:42Your parents were working with May Day.
22:44They were working with me.
22:46My parents are armed smugglers or something.
22:50They run a vintage store.
22:52My dad doesn't even know how to use to find my friends.
22:54They are the least spy people in the universe.
23:00There are things you don't know about them, Daisy.
23:02You may date to?
23:07They would have told me if they were involved in something like that.
23:10Yeah, they were planning to.
23:12It's not that easy.
23:14Telling me would put you in a lot of danger.
23:16This is ridiculous.
23:18I want to call my boyfriend.
23:22I need a few hours to arrange to get you out of the city safely.
23:25He's going to find out what happened.
23:28And he's going to think I'm fucking dead.
23:30Daisy.
23:31Okay?
23:31So I need to talk to him.
23:38That part of your life is over.
23:43Okay?
23:45And I'm sorry all this has happened.
23:48I know what it's like to have everything change all at once.
23:56Can I borrow your phone?
23:58No, Daisy.
24:01You can't.
24:03I need to arrange my parents here now.
24:07Can I please use your phone to do that?
24:13No, no, it's too dangerous.
24:21I think you should eat something.
24:25I'm not hungry.
24:41I'm not hungry.
24:43I'm not hungry.
24:43I'm hungry.
25:13I don't know.
25:25I don't know.
25:51Justin.
25:55Justin.
25:56Justin.
25:57Holy shit.
26:04Are you okay?
26:05Babe, where the fuck have you been?
26:09I missed you so much.
26:11The police have been looking for you.
26:13I've been freaking out.
26:14Your parents.
26:15Oh my god.
26:15Fuck.
26:16Like, what happened?
26:17I'll explain everything.
26:20I just need you to, like, hug me or something first.
26:23Yeah.
26:24Please.
26:24Please.
26:25Okay.
26:26It's okay.
26:26It's okay.
26:27Hey.
26:27Come on.
26:31It's okay.
26:32I got you.
26:34I got you.
26:35I got you.
26:38I got you.
27:33I just need to feel more and more like an animal.
27:36Please.
27:38Okay.
28:27You need to go to the police.
28:30Do you want to talk to my parents?
28:31No.
28:33I already explained it to you.
28:37Can you really trust that woman?
28:38I mean, May Day spies.
28:41Your mom couldn't even remember her phone passcode.
28:44Okay, I mean, come on.
28:47You're grieving.
28:48Of course you are.
28:51But it's messing with your head making you believe all this crazy shit.
29:02Let's run away.
29:06I'm serious.
29:07I trust you.
29:08I know that.
29:12We could go somewhere.
29:14We could get jobs.
29:16Sell all our shit.
29:25Why is that so funny?
29:29You're freaking out.
29:30I get that, okay?
29:31I do.
29:32I really do.
29:34But...
29:36Daisy, we can't just run away.
29:46I'm sorry.
29:53I'm gonna wake up my parents, okay?
29:54We'll talk to them except one.
29:55No, Justin!
29:56It's gonna be okay.
29:57Promise.
30:00It wasn't gonna be okay, though.
30:02My parents were dead.
30:05It didn't matter what I did.
30:11June was right.
30:14This part of my life was over.
30:38The rest was so broken.
30:38I didn't even create a new life for ages.
30:39I knew it was so old.
30:40I thought I was very just gonna cut your hair off.
30:41I have to try to do it.
30:41It was a little bit.
30:41It's okay.
30:44It was a little bit.
30:46It was a little bit.
30:48It was not a little bit.
30:49It was a little bit and it was a little bit.
30:50But like, I'm sorry, it was a little bit.
30:51I'm sorry.
31:04Let me help you.
31:07Why?
31:09Because I know how you're feeling.
31:36Okay, come on, let's go.
32:01It had been a week since the bus attack.
32:05Oddly girls bounce back so quickly.
32:09Remember, we are Mrs. Judd's guests.
32:12And how to guest show respect?
32:14With good posture, straighten up, Constance.
32:29What's the day, Aunt Dalla?
32:33Hi, Penny.
32:35Hi.
32:35I am so happy to see you all.
32:38Penny.
32:40This is Daisy.
32:41Hi, Daisy.
32:42Nice to meet you.
32:44Hi.
32:45I can't believe what you've been through.
32:47These gifts, you're all too much.
32:50This is too much.
32:51Come in.
32:53Your house is so great.
32:55Look at this place.
32:56Come in.
32:58I made this place out.
33:02All right.
33:03Can I show you around?
33:05Yes.
33:07Yes.
33:15Martha.
33:16So, of course, I chose pink for the living room.
33:19It all matches so well.
33:20I love the way it came together.
33:21There are flowers.
33:22The only thing is this painting that Michael chose.
33:27We're going to swap it for something else.
33:30Let me show you the kitchen.
33:31Come on.
33:44The commander's office is down there.
33:47This is his wine cellar.
33:50He's got a Domaine Romanet Conti from 1945.
33:54What's that?
33:54Burgundy.
33:55Very rare.
33:59We have plans to build the nursery next to our room.
34:03I've, um...
34:07I've been feeling ill the past few mornings.
34:10It's in God's hands, but I pray it's his wine.
34:13Oh, my God.
34:14I'm trying.
34:15I'm trying.
34:15I'm trying.
34:15I'm trying.
34:16I'm trying.
34:16I'm trying.
34:17I'm trying.
34:17I'm trying.
34:25I'm trying.
34:26Isn't he cute?
34:27Praise be.
34:29Now, who's hungry?
34:41Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty.
34:47Amen.
34:50Your house is beautiful, Penny.
34:52I should have seen it when I moved in.
34:54Michael was up a decorating creek without a paddle.
34:57Who's Michael?
34:58Commander Chad Holder.
35:00Don't be thick.
35:00I imagine it's a lot to handle, being a new wife.
35:05Some days.
35:07But God only sends us what we can bear.
35:10Well, I could wear this.
35:15Don't mind me.
35:16I'm just passing through.
35:19This looks fun.
35:20Don't tell on us.
35:22It's just cider.
35:24Your secret's safe with me.
35:31Welcome to our home.
35:32Thank you for having us, Commander, sir.
35:35You all showed the world some Gilead grit last week.
35:40During that attack.
35:43I just hope you know that they're just jealous, as we have clean water and fresh air and fruitful young
35:50women.
35:52And they have pollution and hate.
35:56We love, we take in God's children, wherever they come from.
36:06Blessed evening.
36:08Blessed evening, sir.
36:12Thanks so much for having us.
36:16I don't want to put you on the spot.
36:19I'm just curious why you decided to come to Gilead.
36:25To serve God's will.
36:28Of course.
36:32And there was nothing left for me.
36:37Will you have a new home now?
36:44Praise be.
37:12The Pearl Girl program was designed to wash away our sins for God.
37:18To let us start anew.
37:21But I was never really a Pearl Girl.
37:24You know that by now.
37:30What the fuck happened?
37:32Was that us?
37:33Was that May Day?
37:37That's what Gilead's saying.
37:39What do your contacts say?
37:41It was meant to be a retrieval mission.
37:44Retrieval?
37:45Like kidnapping?
37:47Jesus fucking Christ.
37:53What is this?
37:55Map at the school.
37:57You're welcome.
38:02This is good.
38:04Where's it going?
38:06It's not going to be used to hurt those girls, is it?
38:10The girls weren't supposed to get hurt.
38:13That's not comforting.
38:14To know that you guys are just some slobby shitshow.
38:17My life is in your hands here.
38:21For fuck's sake.
38:33I need to speak to Jim.
38:36I'm here to speak to Jim.
38:36That's Jim.
38:57Do you want anything else?
38:58No.
39:06So Gilead killed Nila Melanie because they were working with Mayday.
39:15So why does Gilead give a shit about me?
39:18Why does Gilead want to kill me?
39:21They don't want to kill you.
39:23They want to take you back.
39:26They want to take you back to Gilead.
39:29Why?
39:32Because they think you belong to them.
39:36Because you got away.
39:38Can I not give you guys some more drinks?
39:41Your parents in Gilead got you out when you were a baby.
39:47Neil and Melanie have never been to Gilead.
39:52That's right, Daisy.
40:02When you got out of Gilead, they would not stop looking for you.
40:07And they were never going to let you go.
40:10So we had to get you to safety and Nila and Melanie took you in.
40:16No way.
40:19I would have known.
40:22My parents were the shittiest liars in the world.
40:24I would have known.
40:26If I wasn't really theirs.
40:30You were theirs?
40:39When you first got out of Gilead, you would not stop screaming.
40:46Oh my God.
40:49You were just, you were so, you were so little.
40:55And May Day took you to Neil and Melanie in the middle of the night.
41:00And they had no idea you were coming.
41:02You know?
41:02So they didn't have any diapers or a crib or any food for you to eat.
41:09They didn't, they'd never had a baby of their own.
41:12You know?
41:12Well, so Neil went to the store and Melanie started singing to you.
41:21But you would have none of it.
41:24You just, nope, just cried and cried.
41:29But Melanie kept singing and singing.
41:34She sang show tunes.
41:39For hours.
41:41Until you finally went to sleep.
41:46She couldn't believe how strong you were.
41:51How do you know that?
41:53Melanie's favorite story.
41:55She told it to me dozens of times.
41:57The story of how you came to them.
42:02It's like Harry Potter, she said.
42:05Why, Harry, do you want him to agree with this?
42:10Daisy?
42:14You were theirs.
42:18In all the ways that matter.
42:23And they died because of me.
42:25No.
42:27No.
42:29Gilead killed them.
42:31Okay?
42:33Listen to me.
42:34You are not responsible for that.
42:39You know, just because you say it with conviction
42:43doesn't make it not bullshit.
42:49Just
42:51don't start doing that to yourself, okay?
42:53That kind of thinking is really going to fuck you up.
42:56Do you understand me?
42:58Not really.
42:59Okay.
43:04Wait.
43:04Where are you going?
43:05Stay here.
43:06Just keep ordering coffee.
43:08Someone's going to come get you.
43:10You're leaving me alone?
43:14You are never alone.
43:19Mayday's got you.
43:22We've always had you.
43:27From the beginning.
43:33Don't let the bastards grand you down, okay?
43:35Okay.
43:38Sure.
43:39I won't let them.
43:48I won't let them.
43:49Okay.
43:55So,
44:09please,
44:10please.
