00:01This is Radio Free Boston with an update.
00:04Iliad, of course.
00:09We're fighting for you.
00:13For everyone still inside, keep your head down and stay safe.
00:16For our main eight heroes behind the lines, tonight's message is arrived.
00:20Turn your dial to 101.6.
00:2399.2.
00:26This is Radio Free America, forever the sound of freedom.
00:30There is a possibility of recent sanctions against the Gilead State.
01:16You want to know what it was like for me, growing up in Gilead?
01:22I'm ashamed to say that I believed in Gilead once.
01:25I guess it's easier to accept a story, even a childish one, rather than believe that the people around you
01:33are monsters.
01:39Blessed morning, Agnes.
01:42In this story I'm telling, I'm not really sure what year it was.
01:46Sorry.
01:47It's hard to remember actual dates because girls were forbidden to have calendars.
01:52Just reading one could cost you a finger.
01:56Manila, it's going to be doing your hair now.
02:04You learn to mark time in other ways.
02:08I know I still had my dollhouse.
02:10It looked just like our real house.
02:14It had my bedroom and the dining room.
02:17A wife's parlor.
02:18Even an attic where the Martha slept.
02:20They're in the badlands with me.
02:23They're in the city getting out of the breeze.
02:27But the truth falls back from me.
02:30I'm afraid.
02:35I was a plum.
02:38I didn't have my period yet.
02:40In my world then, I made all the difference.
02:45It was all we wanted.
02:47And it also terrified us.
03:10I know what to do.
03:12Now that I've got a man like you.
03:15So I'm a guy.
03:18It can be so cool.
03:19Baby, don't be cool.
03:27The Commander doll was always doing very important work.
03:31Just like my father.
03:33Keeping us safe from heretics and May Day terrorists.
03:51The Martha dolls were always busy.
03:54But at night they would let the little girl doll sit in the kitchen with them.
03:59They would make her cinnamon toast and they would all talk.
04:09There is a wife doll.
04:11In blue, of course.
04:13That would be Paula.
04:15Who was my new stepmother then.
04:18Blessed morning, Agnes dear.
04:20Rosa, how's your leg?
04:21Please tell me it's better.
04:23Yes, ma'am.
04:25It's kind of you to ask.
04:26Praise be his mercy.
04:29The high dusting is catching up with us, I'm afraid.
04:32Yes, ma'am.
04:33I'll do that after the Commander's meeting.
04:40Thank you, Zilla.
04:42Zilla was new.
04:44Her tongue was removed as punishment before she was posted with us.
04:48Probably for blasphemy.
04:50That was a big one for some wives.
04:53Well, she's certainly an improvement.
04:55That last one we had was Chatty Cathy.
04:58Sometimes, when I was playing with the dollhouse, I would lock the Paula doll in the attic.
05:04Which was not nice.
05:06The Paula doll would pound on the door and scream, but the little girl doll would pay no attention.
05:11And sometimes she would laugh.
05:13Is that the new skirt?
05:17Up then.
05:21Well, don't you look pretty as a picture.
05:28Mother.
05:31I was worried to make you look gawky, but no.
05:40Praise be his mercy for not making me look too gawky.
05:46I'm an irritant to Paula.
05:50She wants me married and gone.
05:53I was born in the sinful before world.
05:57Please keep the counter clean.
05:59We don't want to get hands again.
06:01Yes, ma'am.
06:05Don't slouch, dear.
06:07Slouching girls get fat husbands.
06:25What's the morning, Miss Agnes?
06:30Under his eyes.
06:31Goodbye.
06:32Bye, Rosa.
06:34Bye, Rosa.
06:37Bye.
06:39Bye, Rosa.
06:43Bye.
06:45Bye.
06:46Bye.
06:47Bye.
06:49Once, when we were pinks, I smiled at a boy on the playground.
06:53Theones taped my mouth shut and made me stand in the dining hall for two days.
06:57Holding the sign for a slut.
06:59That was for smiling.
07:01I wonder what would happen if I kissed one.
07:03The end.
07:04I wonder what it looked like.
07:05Goodbye.
07:11Bye.
07:15Bye.
07:18Bye.
07:21Bye.
07:22Bye.
07:24Bye.
07:25Bye.
07:25Bye.
07:26Bye.
07:40When we became plums, we started going on the field trips.
07:45They were fun.
07:47Some parts more than others.
08:10Come on, girls.
08:27Come on, girls.
08:28Come.
08:34Quiet, quiet, quiet.
08:44I don't want to live on charity.
08:47I don't want to live on charity.
09:16Yes, Shinamite.
09:17Rape.
09:18Avodala, that's what the red X is for.
09:20It's for rape.
09:21Praise be.
09:23Friends, these men.
09:26These horrible men.
09:28These...
09:29Rapists?
09:30You say rapists?
09:32Rapists, yes.
09:34Thank you, Shinamite.
09:36I'm not a raper.
09:37I didn't know that.
09:39Friends, it's a ghastly story.
09:41These men stole a young girl, much like yourselves.
09:45This young girl was a kind who liked being the center of attention.
09:49A spirited girl.
09:51That kind of girl often earns a violent end for herself.
09:55Praise be his judgment.
09:57Praise be his judgment.
09:58These men saw this girl, and they were overcome by their urges.
10:04They came in the night and took her from her own bed.
10:09What about her guardians?
10:11Some of them were her guardians.
10:14The urges of men are terrible things.
10:16And those urges must be curbed.
10:18That is the burden that God has personally laid upon each of you.
10:22Just by existing, we are mortally dangerous to otherwise perfectly good men.
10:28They were helpless to resist us.
10:31Even us.
10:32The daughters of commanders.
10:34The most godly of girls.
10:56I was a precious flower.
11:01Then why did I sometimes feel like a prized pig?
11:05Here we go.
11:06Open the gate.
11:36At the Aunt Lydia's school, pink dresses were for little girls.
11:40Plum dresses were for older girls like us.
11:43Predestined to marry high Gilead commanders once we became eligible.
11:47Which only happened if God blessed us with a period.
11:51Then we became greens.
11:52And got pins.
11:56Unless it be the fruit.
11:59You're insane.
12:00The skirt looks fine.
12:01May the Lord open.
12:02Don't bother.
12:03Even God knows Paula has no taste.
12:05Come along, friend.
12:09Becca was the first person I met when we moved here from Colorado.
12:13She was my best friend.
12:14Except we weren't allowed to have best friends.
12:17Leon said that best friends led to keeping secrets.
12:19And secrets led to disobedience.
12:21And disobedient girls became women who were immoral, obviously.
12:25We've been sent good weather.
12:27His blessing.
12:29You have your dress fitting?
12:32After lunch.
12:33Becca was already green.
12:35She was getting ready to be matched.
12:37She was moving on without me.
12:39But we didn't talk about that.
12:41This will be our third seamstress.
12:43My mother thinks if she gets the bodice just right, everyone will forget my dad's a dentist.
12:48Maybe you should dress as a tooth.
12:50Blessed day.
12:51Blessed day.
12:52We've been sent good weather.
12:53Thought I'd receive what's wrong.
12:55Very, very cute hair.
12:57Yeah, I definitely agree.
12:58Thanks.
12:59You're Martha.
13:00Blessed be yours, too.
13:01Seriously.
13:01My Martha's socks.
13:02I look like I have a bad head.
13:04Tunamite.
13:04Chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter.
13:06Flap your tongue around and you're likely to lose it.
13:09Yes, Aunt Padala.
13:10Have a graceful day, girls.
13:13More haste and less speed.
13:17Aunt Lydia was a legend.
13:19Blessed day, Aunt Lydia.
13:20She had been worshipped, then vilified.
13:22Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
13:23Then worshipped again.
13:25Blessed day, Aunt Lydia.
13:26In the four years since the War of Massachusetts, the purges had happened.
13:31As always, those remaining were able to shape history as they liked.
13:35Some people were hung.
13:37And some had schools named after them.
13:43At one time, we, too, were foolish, disobedient, deceived, and enslaved by all kinds of passions and envy.
13:51We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
13:54But when the kindness and love of God, our Savior, appeared, he saved us.
14:01Not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.
14:07White was for the Pearl Girls.
14:09They were new arrivals from outside of Gilead.
14:12Converts for a godly struggle.
14:14We might become gayers, having the hope of eternal life.
14:17Aunt Lydia and her missionaries gathered them from all over the world.
14:20They were mostly runaways.
14:22Of course they had to be young, and possibly fertile.
14:27Weirdos.
14:34The aunts said the Pearl Girls came eager for a new start.
14:37They were even more eager to prove their godliness by telling on you to the aunts.
14:42We all knew someone who had been ratted out by a Pearl Girl.
14:46Amen.
14:47The passion of the converted.
14:50What a pain in the ass.
15:14Nice work, Constance.
15:30Pretty daisy, Shilda.
15:33Really?
15:34Thank you, Aunt EstƩe.
15:35They're actually Black Eyed Susan.
15:37Should you be thanking me?
15:39No.
15:40No.
15:41Thank him.
15:42Aunt EstƩe.
15:43For making me able, and for the flowers he made, and the thread.
15:49Pray forgive me.
15:50You are forgiven.
15:52Just be mindful around all the dollar.
15:57Aunt Gabbana!

25:10You should tell on her.
25:12You're a pearl girl.
25:14For what?
25:15Just say that she gossips or has a foul tongue.
25:18Or that she ran off to go get ice cream.
25:20That could be plausible.
25:21She'd be punished.
25:23You're an awful person.
25:24Stop.
25:25I didn't say to make her a gender traitor or anything.
25:28Just something small.
25:33Agnes, I know that you are very, very nice.
25:36But it's time to plumb up and get her before she gets you.
25:59Cinnamon toast.
26:01Praise be his bounty.
26:07Is it awful?
26:10God never sends us more than we can bear.
26:13Sometimes he does get close, though.
26:18Becca had her final fitting.
26:20She must be happy to be getting a new dress.
26:24I'm sure she looks perfect.
26:26She's a beautiful girl.
26:29She could get an offer from a commander at the dance.
26:33Her dad could.
26:36And she could marry one who lives in Wyoming.
26:39Or anywhere.
26:42Not Maryland.
26:44She won't move far if she marries a high commander.
26:47They need to live near the capital.
26:50She could marry one who doesn't let his wife have any friends.
26:55Try not to think about it.
26:59Rosa, how did you meet your husband?
27:03Before, I mean.
27:08Oh, we met in a bookstore.
27:12Almost everyone we knew then was meeting online on Tinder.
27:16Bumble.
27:18We met in the cookbook section.
27:21That's Tinder.
27:24It's not something you're ever going to need to know, pumpkin.
27:28Blessed evening, ma'am.
27:34The commander will be home Thursday.
27:35Has some things for the Marthas to do.
27:39You said your leg was better.
27:41It is, ma'am.
27:44Good.
27:46Head up to the third floor.
27:47We'll start there.
27:51Yes, ma'am.
28:01I grew up riding.
28:03When a horse would come up late, my father would shoot it.
28:09It was hard.
28:12But it was the merciful thing to do.
28:15Haven't I told you that story?
28:18No, mother.
28:24They learned that sometimes you have to be hard.
28:29Sometimes you have to cut off weak branches and bothersome ones.
28:34You'll understand when you're running your own household.
28:40Blessed evening.
28:59Let's go.
29:10Let's go.
29:13Let's go.
29:14Let's go.
29:17Let's go.
29:39Assembly time, my plans.
29:40Two lines, two lines.
29:44Posture, Agnes.
29:45I'm sorry, Apodala.
29:53Plums, please assemble in the dining hall.
29:55Hurry along.
29:56Thanks to your classes.
29:58Cha-cha.
30:25Let's take the inside, Agnes.
30:26I'm sorry.
30:48What was the day?
30:50How was I?
30:52May the Lord open.
30:54Fine.
30:56Shut up.
30:58It was fine.
30:59I feel like Buffy's leaves.
31:08Blessed day, graceful friends.
31:10We need your energy.
31:12Because we have some difficult work to do today.
31:16For him.
31:23Are you ready?
31:24Yes, my God is sick.
31:36Oh, someone's in trouble.
31:39Good.
31:39He's the gross one.
31:42This man is a sinner.
31:44Hidden amongst us.
31:45He was found touching himself.
31:48Abusing himself.
31:49On school grounds.
31:52Gilead trusted him to protect you.
31:55God's most precious girls.
31:58Instead, he chose wickedness.
32:01We do not play with the power of creation.
32:05What are they going to do to him?
32:07Quiet.
32:08He deserves our judgment.
32:10Do not relish in it.
32:11You are not blameless, girls.
32:15Shame upon any of you that tempt a man.
32:19Now, this is your decision.
32:22You will have to make many difficult decisions when you are wives.
32:27Quiet.
32:28So, what do you say, girls?
32:30Should this man go unpunished?
32:33Pal.
32:35Punished?
32:36Or should we pay?
32:38Quiet!
32:40Quiet, man!
32:45Quiet!
32:47Quiet!
32:49Quiet!
32:50Quiet!
32:51Quiet!
32:53Quiet!
33:04I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
33:18I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
33:25I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
33:32I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
33:47I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
33:47I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
34:21I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
34:27I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
34:32I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
34:39I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
34:43I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
35:01I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
35:20I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
35:37I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
35:42I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
35:44I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
35:46I am so proud of you.
