00:01This is Radio Free Boston with an update.
00:04Iliad 4-0-3.
00:06The assessment with Biggie Boston was unsuccessful.
00:10We're fighting for you.
00:13For everyone still inside, keep your head down and stay safe.
00:17For our main 8-year-old behind the lines, tonight's messages are on.
00:20Turn your dial to 101.6.
00:2399.2.
00:26This is Radio Free America.
00:27Forever the sound of freedom.
00:30The possibility of recent sanctions against the Gilead State.
00:33.
00:34.
00:35.
00:35.
00:35I don't know.
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,
01:31rather than believe that the people around you are monsters.
01:39Blessed morning, Agnes.
01:41In 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.
01:51Blessed morning.
01:52Just reading one could cost you a finger.
01:56Mozilla is going to be doing her hair now.
02:05You learn to mark time in other ways.
02:08I know I still had my dollhouse.
02:11It looked just like our real house.
02:14It had my bedroom and the dining room,
02:17a wife's parlor, even an attic where the Martha slept.
02:20They're in the badlands looking for me.
02:23We're in the suit getting out of the freaks.
02:27Put the jukebox back on me.
02:30I'm free.
02:35I was a plum.
02:38I didn't have my period yet.
02:41In my world then,
02:42I made all the difference.
02:45It was all we wanted.
02:47And it also terrified us.
02:56I know what to do now that I've got a man like you.
03:03Sometimes it can be so cool.
03:05Baby, don't look cool.
03:10I know what to do now that I've got a man like you.
03:27The commander doll was always doing very important work.
03:31Just like my father,
03:33keeping us safe from heretics and Mayday terrorists.
03:51The Martha dolls were always busy.
03:54But at night they would let the little girl doll
03:56sit 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?
04:22Please tell me it's better.
04:23Yes, ma'am.
04:25It's kind of you to ask.
04:26Praise be his mercy.
04:30The high dusting is catching up with us, I'm afraid.
04:33Yes, 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
04:45before 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 a chatty Cathy.
04:58Sometimes, when I was playing with the dollhouse,
05:01I would lock the Paula doll in the attic,
05:04which was not nice.
05:06The Paula doll would pound on the door and scream,
05:08but 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,
05:33but no.
05:40Praise be his mercy
05:42for 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, guys.
05:59We don't want to get hands again.
06:01Yes, ma'am.
06:05Don't slouch, dear.
06:07Slouching girls get fat husbands.
06:25Bless you, Miss Agnes.
06:30Under his eyes, sweetie pie.
06:32Bye, Rosa.
06:37Bye.
06:38Bye.
06:39Bye.
06:49Once, when we were pinks,
06:51I smiled at a boy on the playground.
06:53Leonce taped my mouth shut
06:55and 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.
07:04Bye.
07:05Bye.
07:06Bye.
07:07Bye.
07:08Bye.
07:09Bye.
07:09Bye.
07:40Bye.
07:41When we became plums,
07:42we started going on the field trips.
07:45They were fun.
07:47Some parts more than others.
07:59I got you.
08:01I got you.
08:03I got you.
08:04I got you.
08:07I got you.
08:08I met you.
08:10I met you in a restaurant.
08:12I met you in a restaurant.
08:14I met you.
08:15I met you.
08:15Good job.
08:16One, no bad good job.
08:21You asked me what's my pleasure.
08:24Come along, girls.
08:27Come on, girls, come on, Chloe.
08:30I met you in a pool.
08:30And tell me what my dream is.
08:35Dream is.
08:36Quiet, quiet, quiet.
08:59Gross.
09:01Hulda, enough.
09:02God's justice is beautiful.
09:04I'm sorry, Aunt Vidala.
09:08Friends, these men.
09:11Do you know what crime they committed?
09:15Yes, Shunammite.
09:17Rape.
09:18Aunt Vidala, 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, Shunammite.
09:36I'm not rapists.
09:38I 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.
09:50That kind of girl often earns a violent end for herself.
09:55Praise be His judgment.
09:57Praise be His judgment.
09:58Praise 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.
10:19That is the burden that God has personally laid upon each of you.
10:22Just by existing, we were 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.
10:57I was a precious flower.
11:01Then why did I sometimes feel like a prized pig?
11:03C��서 is the cold for the day.
11:04두� troopers start, horses began to go.
11:06The
11:06stack
11:34I don't know.
11:37At the Aunt Lydia's school, pink dresses were for little girls.
11:40Plum dresses were for older girls like us.
11:44Predestined 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 and got pins.
11:56Will this be the fruit?
11:59You're insane. The skirt looks fine.
12:01May the Lord open, don't bother.
12:02Even God knows Paula has no taste.
12:05Come along, Prince.
12:09Becca was the first person I met when we moved here from Colorado.
12:12She was my best friend, except we weren't allowed to have best friends.
12:17The aunt 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?
12:31We're moving, girls. Let's go.
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,
12:46everyone 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 received with one.
12:55Very, very cute hair.
12:57Yeah, I definitely agree.
12:58Thanks.
12:59New Martha.
13:00Blessed be yours too.
13:01Seriously.
13:01My Martha sucks.
13:02I look like I have a bed head.
13:04Shunammite.
13:05Chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter.
13:06Flap your tongue around and you're likely to lose it.
13:09Yes, Aunt Badala.
13:10Have a graceful day, girls.
13:13More haste.
13:14Blessed be.
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,
13:29the purges had happened.
13:31As always, those remaining were able to shape history as they liked.
13:35Some people were hung, and 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.
13:55But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, He saved us.
14:01Not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.
14:06He saved us through the wall.
14:07White was for the pearl girls.
14:09They were new arrivals from outside of Gilead.
14:12Converts through our godly struggle.
14:14We might become heirs 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.
14:24And possibly fertile.
14:27Weirdos.
14:34The aunts said the pearl girls came eager for a new start.
14:38They 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.
15:14a higher danke of her hermanos.
15:15Nice work Constance.
15:30Pretty daisies Hulda!
15:32Really?
15:34Thank you Aunt Esté, they're actually black-eyed Susan.
15:37Should you be thanking me?
15:39No, no, in Kim, in Este, making me able in for the flowers he made in the thread.
15:48Pray forgive me.
15:50You are forgiven. Just be mindful around Alphidala.
15:57Aunt Gabbana, blessed morning.
16:05Agnes, Aunt Lydia would like to speak with me.
16:14Come along.
16:16Agnes, get up, please. I'm sure it's good news.
16:20Back to work.
16:55By tradition, only dead people are allowed to have statues. I have been given one while still alive.
17:05Praise be your works, Aunt Lydia. I have been prematurely petrified.
17:17I have been watching you for quite a while now.
17:24Why, Aunt Lydia?
17:27Soon to be eligible.
17:29May God make me truly worthy.
17:31Ah, you will be rewarded. If you are free of sin, of course.
17:36Do you know why this statue was erected?
17:41So you can always be watching over us.
17:44Yes. We inspire the world with our good works, Agnes. Do you agree?
17:49Yes, Aunt Lydia.
17:50Excellent. I have good work that needs doing.
17:54Helping a new friend feel welcome.
18:03Agnes, this is Daisy. One of my precious, precious pearls recently arrived.
18:10Daisy may be joining your class.
18:14She's going to be a plum?
18:16Perhaps. I'd like you to show her around. Make her feel comfortable. Be her shepherdess.
18:23It's an honor for you, Agnes.
18:26Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
18:28Daisy, be a good girl and stay with Agnes. Lambs, don't stray.
18:32Yes, Aunt Lydia. Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
18:37Wonderful. Go in grace.
18:51Blessed fruit. May the Lord open.
19:03Painting and sketching.
19:11Music classroom.
19:19Comportments this way. Domestic management is upstairs with Aunt L'Oreal.
19:23Hospitality, decorating, culinary arts.
19:27Fiber arts, like embroidery, lace making.
19:31You can make a tablecloth, if you dare.
19:34And scripture class.
19:36Praise be his word.
19:40Weirdo.
19:42Aunt Lydia didn't tell me much about you.
19:46Did she tell you anything about me?
19:50Nothing, Miss Agnes.
20:02Did she ask you to watch me?
20:06Of course.
20:07Miss Agnes.
20:10To learn how to behave properly.
20:15Discipline and corrections are in the on-swing.
20:17You only go there when you earn it.
20:24And lunch.
20:25Blessed be his bounty.
20:32This is the dining room.
20:33Quite obviously.
20:36Let's eat.
20:40You cannot be mistress of a house.
20:43Unless you are the mistress of yourself.
20:46Do you understand me, girls?
20:48Yes, Aunt Madala.
20:51It is an offense to God to waste food with poor preparation.
20:55If your meal is unacceptable, speak firmly to your Martha.
21:00Do you understand me, girls?
21:03Yes, Aunt Madala.
21:05Friends, let us give thanks to him.
21:12And?
21:13God is great.
21:15God is good.
21:16Thank you, God, for our food.
21:18By his blessings we are fed.
21:20Give us, Lord, our daily bread.
21:22Amen.
21:27Girls, you may socialize.
21:45What is all this, then?
21:47This is Daisy.
21:49Aunt Lydia asked me to make her feel welcome.
21:51Hey.
21:53It's a blessing to meet you all.
21:57Get out.
22:07We're enjoying very fine weather.
22:10By God's blessing.
22:15It's a high-pressure system, I think.
22:18Daisy, pray.
22:20Where do you hail from?
22:22Toronto.
22:24Canada.
22:25Miss.
22:26Shunammai.
22:28That's a beautiful name.
22:30It is.
22:33I imagine Canada is very different from Gilead.
22:37Toronto has been forsaken by God and defiled by Satan.
22:43It is suffocating in sin.
22:48So do you miss it?
22:52I pray it will be swallowed whole by the earth.
23:00May he hear your prayer.
23:03Yes.
23:06Excuse me, my God.
23:09Daisy.
23:11Do you like soft serve ice cream?
23:15Food is one of his miracles.
23:17They have it here.
23:18Strawberry and vanilla.
23:20Hold up, we'll take you.
23:22Yeah, I can make you a swirl cone.
23:24I'm sort of an expert.
23:26Aunt Lydia urged me to stay with Miss Agnes.
23:28Ice cream is definitely one of his miracles.
23:32And you wouldn't want to insult God.
23:37You should get some.
23:39Come on.
23:56They stuck you with the pearl girl?
23:58What did you do wrong?
23:59She didn't do anything.
24:01This is unprecedented.
24:03So what did Aunt Lydia say?
24:05She said she's new here.
24:08I'm just supposed to be a shepherdess.
24:10I don't like her.
24:10She didn't seem very nice.
24:11Well, you can't trust her.
24:13She'll tell Aunt Lydia everything.
24:14She's a pearl girl.
24:17Becca?
24:18Your Martha is here to collect you.
24:21Yes, Ana, stay.
24:25Am I fitting?
24:27Pray for me.
24:28I wish I was green this season.
24:30I wish we all were together.
24:34It's starting to move very, very fast.
24:38It's a dress.
24:39Not a husband.
24:42Not yet.
24:43Well, I can't wait to have a husband.
24:44Becca.
24:45Pray.
24:46Come along.
24:46Shake a leg.
24:48Go with Grace.
24:51In Grace I go.
25:10You should tell Aunt her.
25:12You're a pearl girl.
25:14For what?
25:15Just say that she gossips or has a foul tongue.
25:18Sure.
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 trait or anything.
25:28Just something small.
25:32Agnes.
25:33I know that you are very, very nice.
25:36But it's time to plumb up and get her before she can see you.
25:39It's time to make her the same thing.
25:48I've never seen you.
25:51At the end of the day, it's time to make her more than nothing.
26:08Is it awful?
26:10God never sends us more than we can bear.
26:13Sometimes we just 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.
26:32The dance.
26:33Her dad could.
26:36She could marry one who lives in Wyoming.
26:40Or 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
26:52doesn't let his wife have any friends.
26:55Try not to think about it.
26:59Rosa, how did you meet your husband?
27:02And before, I mean.
27:08We met in a bookstore.
27:12Almost everyone we knew then was meeting online on Tinder, Bumble.
27:18We met in the cookbook section.
27:21What's Tinder?
27:24It's not something you're ever going to need to know, Pumpkin.
27:29Blessed 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.
28:04When a horse would come up late, my father would shoot it.
28:09It was hard.
28:12But it was the merciful thing to do.
28:16Haven't I told you that story?
28:18No, mother.
28:24I 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.
28:39Blessed evening.
28:42Blessed evening.
28:56Blessed evening.
28:57Blessed evening.
28:59Blessed evening.
29:03Blessed evening.
29:05Blessed evening.
29:08Blessed evening.
29:09Blessed evening.
29:10Blessed evening.
29:11Let's see.
29:12Let's see.
29:42Let's see.
29:44Posture.
29:45Agnes.
29:45I'm sorry, Appadonna.
29:53Plums, please assemble in the dining hall.
29:55Hurry along.
29:56Kings, to your classes.
29:58Chop-chop.
30:25Listen to me, Miss Agnes.
30:41Let's see.
30:49Blessed day.
30:51How was it?
30:53May the Lord open.
30:54Fine.
30:56Shut up.
30:58It was fine.
30:59I feel like puffy sleeves.
31:08Blessed day, graceful friends.
31:11We need your energy, because we have some difficult work to do today.
31:16For him.
31:23Are you ready?
31:24Yes, Arcee.
31:25Yes, Arcee.
31:27Yes, Arcee.
31:31Yes, Arcee.
31:45Jesus.
31:46He was found touching himself, abusing himself, on school grounds.
31:52Gilead trusted him to protect you, God'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?
32:08Quiet.
32:08He deserves our judgment.
32:10Do not relish in it.
32:12You are not blameless, girls.
32:15Shame upon any of you that tempt a man.
32:20Now, this is your decision.
32:22You will have to make many difficult decisions when you are wives.
32:28So what do you say, girls?
32:29Should this man go unpunished?
32:35Or shift the peg.
32:38Buy his ass!
32:40Buy his ass!
32:45Buy his ass!
32:47Buy his ass!
32:47Buy his ass!
32:51Buy his ass!
33:04Buy his ass!
33:05I am so proud of the women you are becoming!
33:10Buy his ass!
33:18Buy his ass!

33:43I'm fine.
33:46Please be your concern.
33:47I'm fine.
33:47I'm fine.
33:53Oh my God!
33:56Oh my God!
34:08Daisy?
34:10Daisy!
34:15Fuck! What the fuck was that?
34:17He broke the rules.
34:19They cut it off. I saw his arm.
34:22Jesus Christ, he was fucking wide awake.
34:24For fuck's sake.
34:25Jesus, what the fuck?
34:31I'm sorry. I have...
34:34Magnus.
34:35Magnus.
34:36Don't. Don't tell.
34:39Oh, sweetie.
34:41Agnes, help Daisy get cleaned up.
35:01How do you feel?
35:08They told us about assemblies.
35:12But I didn't think it'd be like that.
35:15Like what?
35:26Thank you for taking care of me.
35:32When Aunt Lydia gives you an assignment, you do it.
35:37Miss Agnes, I am so sorry.
35:40I committed blasphemy.
35:43You were unwell.
35:44I took his name in vain.
35:47Agnes.
35:48There is no excuse.
35:51I know I must confess.
35:54Okay.
35:57Aunt Lydia is in charge of punishing pro girls.
36:02Okay.
36:06Praise be her discipline.
36:09I need to learn.
36:17Do you think she'll cut out my tongue?
36:21There are stories.
36:24Pray no.
36:25Not for this.
36:26Probably not.
36:30Okay.
36:33If it's God's will.
36:35If it's God's will.
36:37If it's God's will.
36:39If it's God's...
36:40I can't.
36:40Agnes, I can't.
36:41It's okay.
36:43You don't have to.
36:46You don't have to.
36:48It was just us.
37:06God sees our sins.
37:14We'll pray together.
37:16We'll show contrition.
37:20God is merciful.
37:23We aunts not so much sometimes.
37:29Are you sure?
37:33Our secret.
37:43Shunammite said Daisy was dangerous.
37:46She was right, of course.
37:48She said you should never ever trust a pro girl.
37:52But that was exactly what I did.
38:05Blessed night, my pearls.
38:08May God protect you.
38:13May God protect you.
38:36We are really innocent.
38:36I'm so sorry.
38:36But you know what it would be like.
38:36I ate with you.
38:37Okay.
38:37Pilate.
38:49I'm so sorry.
38:49It's my friend.
38:50It's your friend.
38:53Her friend is her.
38:53It's my friend.
38:53He's a giant corn.
38:56You don't have to be a little it's minute.
39:17This is Radio Free Boston.
39:19If you're hoping for some tunes, you're in the right place.
39:22For our May Day heroes behind the lines, tonight's messages are on channel 99.2.
39:28And remember, folks, don't let the bastards cry.
39:33Red Dog, Green House, White Barn, UF Package is waiting.
39:37If you're in the Paperclip Club, sit tight.
39:40That's it for tonight.
40:14Oh, my life is changing every day.
40:20Every bus to the way.
40:29All my dreams was never quite as a team.
40:36Never quite as a team.
40:43I know I felt like this before.
40:47But now I feel it even more.
40:51Because it came from here.
40:57When I open up and see the person falling here is me.
41:06A different way to be.
41:33It was still cold.
41:34But I remember the nights were getting shorter.
41:38The shorebirds were back.
41:40You could hear them really high up.
41:42A sure sign of spring.
41:45I didn't know who my mom was yet.
41:48My real mom.
41:51That would come soon.
41:54I had no idea how much that would change things.
41:59Without calendars, you learn to mark time in other ways.
42:02It was when I became eligible.
42:05And when I met Daisy,
42:08it was when it all started.
42:12To the amazing mind.
42:17To the amazing mind.
42:18To understanding and to find.
42:21With everything to me.
42:29Oh, my life.
42:32I'm changing every day.
42:36In every possible way.
42:43And oh, my dreams.
42:47It's never quite as it seems.
42:51Cause you're a dream to me.
42:54Dream to me.
42:56Like.
43:20Oh, my love.
43:23Oh, my soul.
43:25Good morning.
43:26I'm thinking all day I am.
