Transcript
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?
06:30Good night.
06:31Under his eyes, mean goodbye.
06:32Bye, Rosa.
06:35Bye, Rosa.
06:37Bye.
06:40Bye.
06:49Once, when we were pinks, I smiled at a boy on the playground.
06:53Theon's taped my mouth shut and made me stand in the dining hall for two days, holding the sign for
06:58a slut.
06:59That was for smiling. I wonder what would happen if I kissed one.
07:40When we became plums, we started going on the field trips. They were fun. Some parts more than others.
07:56They were fun. Theon's taped my mouth shut.
08:08Didn't I know how to push the head off?
08:21They were fun. They were fun.
08:22It was fun. It was fun.
08:24Come along, girls.
08:27Come on, girls.
08:28Come quickly.
08:35Quiet, quiet, quiet.
08:59Oh, girls, hold it enough.
09:02God's justice is beautiful.
09:05I'm sorry, Aunt Vidala.
09:07Friends, 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, these...
09:29Rapists?
09:30You say rapists?
09:32Rapists, yes.
09:34Thank you, Shunammite.
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,
09:44much like yourselves.
09:45This young girl was a kind of, like,
09:47being 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.
09:58These men saw this girl.
10:00They 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.
10:13The 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,
10:24we are mortally dangerous to otherwise perfectly good men.
10:27They 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?
11:04Hardware.
11:05Here we go.
11:06Open the gate.
11:08muging.
11:37At the Aunt Lydia's school,
11:38pink 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 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.
12:03Even God knows Paula has no taste.
12:05Come along, friends.
12:09Becca was the first person I met when we moved here from Colorado.
12:13She 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?
12:30We move it, 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 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.
13:04Chunamite.
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.
13:12More 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,
13:29the purges had happened.
13:31As always, those remaining were able to shape history
13:33as 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 were a 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.
14:37They were even more eager to prove their godliness by telling on you to the aunts.
14:42We all knew someone who had been ratted up by a pearl girl.
14:47The passion of the converted.
14:49What a pain in the ass.
15:14Nice work, Constance.
15:30Pretty daisy, Shilda.
15:33Really?
15:34Thank you, Aunt Este.
15:35They're actually Black Eyed Susan.
15:37Should you be thanking me?
15:39No.
15:40No, thank him.
15:42Aunt Este.
15:43For making me able and for the flowers he made and the thread.
15:48Pray forgive me.
15:50You are forgiven.
15:52Just be mindful around Alphidala.
15:57Aunt Gabbana.
15:59Blessed morning.
16:04Agnes.
16:06Aunt Lydia would like to speak with you.

29:45I'm sorry, Apadala.
29:52Plums, please assemble in the dining hall.
29:55Hurry along.
29:56Kings, to your classes.
29:58Cha-cha.
30:23I'm sorry, Apadala.
30:26That's crazy.
30:31I'm sorry.
30:49What was the day?
30:51How was it?
30:53May the Lord open.
30:54Fine.
30:56Shut up.
30:58It was fine.
30:59I feel like Puffy's leaves.
31:08Blessed day, graceful friends.
31:11We need your energy because we have some difficult work to do today.
31:17For him.
31:23Are you ready?
31:24Yes, I'm not a mistake.
31:36Oh, someone's in trouble.
31:39Good.
31:40He'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.
31:54God's most precious girls.
31:57Instead, 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.
32:19Now, this is your decision.
32:21Listen, you will have to make many difficult decisions when you are wives.
32:27So what do you say, girls?
32:30Should this man go unpunished?
32:33Pay.
32:34Punished.
32:36Or should he pay?
32:38Quiet!
32:40Quiet!
32:42Quiet!
32:45Quiet!
32:47Quiet!
32:49Quiet!
32:49Quiet!
32:50Quiet!
33:04Quiet!
33:05I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
33:09Quiet!
33:12Quiet!
33:13Quiet!
33:18Quiet!
33:19Quiet!
33:25Oh my God!
33:39Oh my God!
33:41Craig, are you okay?
33:43I'm fine.
33:45Please be your concern.
33:51Oh my God!
33:53Oh my God!
33:54Oh my God!
33:56Oh my God!
34:08Oh my God!
34:09Oh my God!
34:09Daisy? Daisy!
34:15Fuck! What the fuck was that?
34:17They broke the rules.
34:18They cut it off.
34:20I 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.
34:33Agnes.
34:35Agnes.
34:36Don't.
34:37Don't tell.
34:39Oh sweetie.
34:41Agnes, help Daisy get cleaned up.
34:48Oh.
35:01How do you feel?
35:07They 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.
35:45I 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.
36:06Prairies be her discipline.
36:09I need to learn.
36:17Do you think she'll cut out my tongue?
36:21There are stories.
36:24Probably 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.
36:39I 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.
37:24Beyonce, not so much sometimes.
37:28Are you sure?
37:33Our secret.
37:43Shunemite said Daisy was dangerous.
37:45She 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.
39:40That's it for tonight.
