00:01Previously, on the Testaments.
00:03You want to know what it was like for me growing up in Gilead?
00:06At the Aunt Lydia school, plum dresses were for older girls like us.
00:10Up then.
00:11Well, don't you look pretty as a picture.
00:14Thank you, Mother.
00:17Predestined to marry high Gilead commanders,
00:19which only happened if God blessed us with a period.
00:22You're insane. The skirt looks fine.
00:24Even God knows Paula has no taste.
00:26Then we became greens.
00:27I wish I was green this season.
00:29I wish we all were together.
00:32It's starting to move very, very fast.
00:35It's a dress. Not a husband.
00:37Not yet.
00:39White was for the Pearl Girls.
00:40They were new arrivals from outside of Gilead.
00:43Weirdos.
00:44This is Daisy.
00:46I'd like you to show her around.
00:48Make her feel comfortable.
00:49May the Lord open.
00:52You may socialize.
00:56What is all this then?
00:58This is Daisy.
00:59It's a blessing to meet you all.
01:01They stuck you with the Pearl Girl.
01:03What did you do wrong?
01:04She didn't do anything.
01:05Well, you can't trust her.
01:06It's time to plumb up and get her before she gets here.
01:10Shame upon any of you that tempt a man.
01:16Daisy!
01:17Jesus Christ, I was fucking wide awake.
01:19Miss Agnes, I am so sorry.
01:21I committed blasphemy.
01:23Our secret.
01:24Shunemite said you should never ever trust a Pearl Girl.
01:27But that was exactly what I did.
01:28It was when I became eligible.
01:30And when I met Daisy, it was when it all started.
01:49The aunts told us lots of girls never blossom because they're disobedient and prideful.
01:54And those girls are worthless to God.
01:58Getting your period was like a stamp of approval from God himself.
02:02I was one of the chosen ones.
02:05Me.
02:08Why me?
02:10There was a chance I'd be able to conceive.
02:13I was supposed to be ecstatic.
02:15And I was.
02:17But I was also scared to death.
02:20It's hard to tell one from the other sometimes.
02:40Blessed morning.
02:46Mother.
02:50Rosa?
02:57Rosa?
03:01What on earth are you doing skulking around?
03:06Blessed morning, Mother.
03:09Going out for a morning ride?
03:12It's too early for your manipulative nonsense.
03:15What are you doing?
03:23Mother, as he blessed Ruth and Leah,
03:25he has blessed me this day.
03:28As he answered the prayers of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca,
03:31he has saved me from barrenness.
03:34By his hand, he will make me fruitful.
03:42But the bee is a miracle.
03:47Wait for me in the parlor.
03:55When Becca got her period, her mom was so happy,
03:58she started laughing and crying at the same time.
04:01I doubt Paula has ever cried.
04:03Or laughed.
04:04We're not telling fibs now, are we?
04:07You know the aunts will do their inspection.
04:11No, I wouldn't.
04:16Welcome to the sacred calling of womanhood.
04:20There's a lot of tedious bother to the whole enterprise.
04:26These are called wings.
04:27They go beneath your underpants and snap shut.
04:30Like this, yes?
04:32Change the pads every few hours.
04:34Cleanliness is godliness, especially so on these days.
04:37You should never smell it on yourself.
04:39Understood?
04:40Yes, ma'am.
04:45I was scared my first time, too.
04:49Thank you for your help.
04:53It's a woman's duty to pass on this kind of wisdom.
04:58Of course, no one bothered to do it for me.
05:11Tabitha made this for you before she passed.
05:17It's a cover for your pad.
05:32See if you can see the reload through the rock.
05:35Try to see.
05:36Yeah.
05:38Or it sounds.
05:39It's a way.
05:39As I was walking along in the forest, I came upon an enchanted castle.
05:46I saw inside there were all these little girls locked up.
05:50Sweet, godly girls.
05:53They were all under the spell of wicked witches.
05:58Luckily, I had a magic ring.
06:00But the ring only had the power to save one little girl.
06:04So I looked at all of them very carefully.
06:07And out of the whole bunch, I chose you.
06:10Is that how I'll get a baby?
06:16You won't need to, sweetheart.
06:19You are going to have a baby grow inside your tummy.
06:33Blessed morning.
06:36Agnes has blossomed.
06:39Praise be his mercy.
06:41How do you feel?
06:45A little sick to my stomach.
06:48It's a blessing to feel your body's miracle.
06:52Agnes will have some appointments now that she's eligible.
06:56Yes, ma'am.
06:56There's the new doctor, of course.
06:59And the proper tailor.
07:00And I'll enlist Dr. Grove for the teeth whitening.
07:03We need to make her as appealing as possible.
07:06Yes, ma'am.
07:07Congrats, Agnes.
07:14I prayed so hard.
07:18How about some coffee?
07:21Isn't that what women drink?
07:22Yes, please.
07:26Completely obvious.
07:29I'm walking weird.
07:30You're perfect.
07:35You're filled with his divine light.
07:38And then a husband.
07:43Yes.
07:44We pray a kind one.
07:51Mmm.
07:53A real young woman.
07:55Your mother would be so proud of you.
07:59Rosa took care of Tabitha when she was dying.
08:04She sat next to her bed and fed her ice cubes.
08:11I heard they're redistricting.
08:13Enjoy your special day.
08:15Under his eye, sweetie pie.
08:17Under his eye, Rosa.
08:21Would people notice the difference?
08:24That I was a woman now?
08:27Was it something you could sense?
08:29Like a wild animal in the grass?
08:33Or smell?
08:34Like the air before a storm?
08:37Blessed day.
08:39Like a guardian walking past you in the summer heat.
09:02Admire.
09:03He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
09:07Amen.
09:21Blessed day, Miss Agnes.
09:22Blessed day.
09:23Have you seen Becca?
09:24No, I'm sorry.
09:25I was praying while I waited for you.
09:27You don't have to do that.
09:28Just go inside like a normal person.
09:30Where are you going?
09:31Curiosity got Eve kicked out of the garden.
09:34But Aunt Lydia said I should stay with you.
09:37You can't come.
09:38Is this about yesterday?
09:50Aunt Gabbana?
09:52Aunt Gabbana?
09:57Oh, you're in the last of the night.
10:07Amen.
12:04Agnes Mackenzie, what a day this is.
12:10Aunt Vidala, as he blessed Ruth and Leah, he has blessed me this day.
12:14As he answered the prayers of Sarah and Rachel and Rebecca, he has saved me from barrenness.
12:21By his hand, he will make me fruitful.
12:24Praise be his mercy.
12:33Your blessing is a blessing upon us all.
12:44One of your own has been touched by his divine hand, girls.
12:48Praise be.
12:49Praise be, Agnes.
13:06Take your meatloaf.
13:08You need iron and folic acid and bioflavonoids.
13:11I'm stuffed, hold up.
13:15Is your menstrual paddle soaked?
13:19No, not yet.
13:22Cool.
13:24You're so blessed.
13:26While green means more work and dancing in public, and Agnes hates dancing in front of people, that could be
13:32a nightmare.
13:33Shut up, Sue.
13:35I crawled into your tights.
13:38I'm sure you'll be next.
13:41My breasts have been feeling pretty sore.
13:44They look bigger, don't they?
13:46My father always said I was blessed in that department.
13:52Beck, I can't ask Paul if I can come to your house today.
13:56I can say it's for green stuff.
13:58Up, girls.
13:59I have another fitting.
14:01Up, up, quick.
14:02Shake your tail feathers.
14:04We need you in corrections.
14:08Come.
14:08A pearl girl needs your guidance.
14:10On your special day?
14:11What a drag.
14:12Back.
14:15Corrections were done in a separate part of the school.
14:18The aunt's wing.
14:20This room reeked of the aunts.
14:22What did she do?
14:23I don't know.
14:25It smelled like boiled wool and sweat.
14:27It smelled of certainty.
14:29If certainty had a smell.
14:31This young woman made a confession this morning.
14:36She has admitted to using the Lord's name in vain.
14:43Agnes.
14:45Aunt Lydia entrusted you to guide this girl as you would your own child.
14:50I'm sorry, Aunt Padala.
14:54You have been blessed with womanhood today.
14:58Is that a challenge you are ready for?
15:00Yes, Aunt Padala.
15:01Then show me.
15:04Teach your strained lamb.
15:06Get up.
15:08You don't lounge around while defending his name.
15:15What must a sinner do?
15:21Pay, Aunt Padala.
15:24She must pay for her sins, Aunt Padala.
15:27Pay for her sins!
15:28Pay for her sins!
15:29Tell her what she is, Agnes.
15:32Dirty words come from what?
15:37A dirty girl.
15:39Dirty girl!
15:40Dirty girl!
15:41Dirty girl!
15:42Corrections was our time to unleash.
15:45And we devoured it.
15:46Dirty girl!
15:47Dirty girl!
15:49I'm ashamed of how much I miss it.
15:51Dirty girl!
15:52Dirty girl!
15:53Dirty girl!
15:54Dirty girl!
15:55Dirty girl!
15:56Dirty girl!
15:57Dirty girl!
15:58Dirty girl!
15:58Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl!
16:02Whose fault is this?
16:04We understood power in rage.
16:07Teenage girls appreciate rage.
16:09In Gilead, as elsewhere.
16:11You are nothing.
16:13You're a slut from the streets of Sodom.
16:16A child of sinners!
16:17She was there!
16:18And she heard my blasphemy!
16:21I swear to God!
16:28Ah!
16:36Oh!
16:38Oh!
16:41Oh!
16:53All right, friends.
16:54Time for cake.

18:07but I've taught you how to stay silent
18:10Agnes

27:36Yeah.
27:38I thought you were mad.
