00:01Previously on The Testaments
00:02Wrong! It was Gilead.
00:04You're in danger. I need to get you out of here.
00:06I need you to trust me.
00:07Being a woman on God's green earth is no easy feat.
00:12Who can bring forth God's children?
00:14Who? But you.
00:16Dr. Grove is ready for you.
00:17Becca's gonna be thrilled you're green now.
00:19You know, you really are getting to be a big girl, Agnes.
00:22I imagine your breasts must be quite tender.
00:24I'm starting to move very, very fast.
00:27It's a dress, not a husband.
00:28Not yet.
00:29She could get an offer from a commander at the dance.
00:32You will have to make many difficult decisions when you are wives.
00:35I imagine it's a lot to handle.
00:38Being a new wife.
00:39God only sends us what we can bear.
00:41It will be great.
00:42Pushing strollers together.
00:43I don't wanna get married.
00:45I don't want a husband.
00:47But what else would you do?
00:51Agnes! Get down!
00:55Why does Gilead wanna kill me?
00:57They don't wanna kill you.
00:58They wanna take you back.
00:59When you got out of Gilead, they would not stop looking for you.
01:02Mayday's got you.
01:03What the fuck happened?
01:04Was that Mayday?
01:05It was meant to be a retrieval mission.
01:07The girls were supposed to get hurt.
01:09What is this?
01:10Map at the school.
01:11I need to speak to June.
01:12You guys are just some slobby shisho.
01:15My life is in your hands here.
01:38Gilead was so beautiful.
01:40Sometimes I could forget where I was.
01:42I could forget to be scared shitless for a second.
01:45But just a second.
01:48Since the bus attack, security was everywhere.
01:51I was sure the eyes were gonna pull me off the street.
01:54Of course, the gals have their own fish to fry.
01:58Marriage season was all about sucking up to the ants.
02:01This time, it was a tea party.
02:04The girls stressed out about buying flowers and sweets to please the ants.
02:09I get it.
02:11Always be extra nice to the frigid sadists who are arranging your marriage.
02:18Gilead pro tip.
02:21You're welcome.
02:29Here.
02:30Miss Mackenzie is still choosing a few others.
02:34Tell Garth.
02:36He's got to move me.
02:37Or get me out.
02:39I think they're closing in.
02:41Please.
02:42Wow.
02:47We're ready.
02:48It's okay.
02:49It's okay.
02:50I know still.
02:51I'm okay.
02:52I'm okay.
02:55Have a while.
02:57We've got it.
02:58I'm okay.
02:59Mmm.
03:11I'm okay.
03:12Just a beautiful day for the tea party.
03:13I'm okay.
03:14Good luck.
03:14All right.
03:17I'm fine.
03:17You're fine.
03:18Looks so different in green.
03:19Do you feel different?
03:21Not really.
03:22My green dress has a bow in the back of it.
03:25My mom made it, just in case.
03:27She's not supposed to do that.
03:29Whatever.
03:30God loves a woman to make disciplines.
03:32You know what's against the rules.
03:36What's up with her?
03:49It's okay.
03:51It's a good thing.
03:52It means we're safe.
03:54They were May Day.
03:56Is she about to throw up?
03:58Forgive her a second.
03:59She's not used to this stuff.
04:01Don't feel sorry for them.
04:03They tried to kill us.
04:04Their rebel's gone.
04:06We'll catch up in a second.
04:08For real girls.
04:10I don't know.
04:14Look, I know it's scary.
04:15They pretended to be one of us.
04:17Meanwhile, the entire time they hated us.
04:21They tried to kill us.
04:24The eyes will always find them.
04:25You don't have to worry.
04:26Okay?
04:37That's why the florist was so scared.
04:40Gilead is out there, looking for us.
04:42Hunting us.
04:44All I could think about is how that could be me up there.
04:46And if I didn't get out of here soon, it would be.
04:50But here we are.
04:51Going to Agnes' house for a fucking tea party.
04:55This Madeline is perfect.
04:56And if you are going to go in.
05:04You are doing this in general?
05:12Yeah, he's doing this in general this afternoon.
05:15Yes.
05:17Turn in so that-
05:19That's what they see first.
05:20Yes.
05:21Yes, just right there.
05:23So the meat shows when they walk in.
05:26So these are first.
05:27Good.
05:35Of course you think it's easy.
05:37You've been practicing for months.
05:41Okay, so now you need to practice.
05:44This round.
05:47Here, come here.
05:50Okay, ready?
05:52Okay.
05:53One, two, three, four, two, three.
05:57By stepping on the three, it's supposed to be on two.
06:00Like this.
06:01One, two, three, one, two, three.
06:04Becca, try it.
06:05Do I have to?
06:06The waltz is the easy part.
06:08You still have to learn the opening number.
06:10What if I get it wrong at the ball?
06:12Am I going to look totally lame?
06:13No.
06:14No.
06:15You look adorable.
06:17You always do.
06:21Okay, come here.
06:24I will be the commander.
06:25You be you.
06:27Okay?
06:28Right foot back.
06:30Side.
06:31Together.
06:32Okay, now the tricky part.
06:34Raise your arm.
06:35Up.
06:36Like this.
06:38Together.
06:38And now it's true.
06:42You got me wrapped around your finger.
06:49It seems to me like, it seems to me like that's where I belong.
07:17Okay, I think you've got it.
07:33There you are.
07:35We have guests arriving.
07:37Becca was teaching me to dance for the ball.
07:39Thank you, Becca.
07:41She needs all the help she can get, but the aunts will be here any minute.
07:46Your hair is crazy again.
07:48Do you see what I'm dealing with?
07:51Paula, you have so much to do.
07:53I'll spreece little Agnes.
07:57She's beyond Agnes.
08:03So, Paula is still a blessing.
08:05I see.
08:07I thank God for her every day.
08:12Let's go check out your bounty.
08:16Who sent this?
08:17It's crazy.
08:20I've never seen this bread like this.
08:22You clearly made an impression.
08:24Tenderloin, that's no joke.
08:26She also got oranges.
08:27Commander Stevens.
08:29He's a catch.
08:31Oranges are all right, but didn't you get guavas and lychees when you were a green?
08:35Yeah, but they were easier to get back then.
08:39Artichoke is hard to come by these days.
08:41Which commander's this?
08:44Uh, Collins.
08:45He's in charge of one of the colonies.
08:47Ew.
08:48He likes.
08:49No, thank you.
08:49Ew.
08:51So, who do you think will match, and who's going to crash and burn?
08:55Becca's doing well.
08:57She got lamb chops.
08:59Of course you did.
09:00I bet Jehoshaphat was crazy jealous.
09:03Jehoshaphat will do just fine.
09:05I was two people.
09:06One could walk and talk, say praise be and yes ma'am.
09:11And the other could only think about those dead bodies hanging from the bridge.
09:15Was it obvious to everyone?
09:18Luckily, I was basically invisible.
09:20Penny, can you feel the baby kicking it?
09:23No, it's too early for that.
09:25I can't wait.
09:27And Michael is even more excited than I am.
09:29You're so much further along than last time.
09:31Hold up.
09:34Sorry.
09:35You can be so slow sometimes.
09:39Spread out.
09:40Search the house.
09:43Blessing be the fruit.
09:48Downstairs first.
09:49Search the rooms.
09:50Copy.
09:51Sleeping downstairs.
09:51See something you don't like.
09:52Raise a flag.
09:53Okay.
09:54Oh, Guardian?
09:55I'd like to have that card from Commander Stevens Red, please.
10:02Um, yes, Mrs. Judd.
10:09Agnes, congratulations on reaching this milestone.
10:14God hath blessed you in every respect.
10:18I look forward to the dance of the ball.
10:22Praise be.
10:27I'm worried about being executed.
10:30She's over there getting horny.
10:34Under his eye.
10:36Right, Agnes?
10:37Girls, the cars are pulling up to the gate.
10:39Quick, quick.
10:40Come on.
10:41Yes, Mother.
10:42I'm coming.
10:45Under his eye.
10:51Clean that up immediately?
10:53Yes, Mrs. McKenzie.
10:55Have we checked out?
10:56Yeah.
10:56Let's go.
11:07A woman in the Florida shop almost got me caught today.
11:11She was terrified.
11:12She said she needs you to move her.
11:16Shit.
11:17Is something happening?
11:19This morning, I had to walk past three dead bodies.
11:22Lower your voice.
11:25Gilead's retaliating for what happened with the bus.
11:29Has Commander Hayes' daughter said anything?
11:31Her father taking any trips?
11:32Commander?
11:33Shunamite.
11:34No.
11:35Are you even listening to me?
11:37Those people that they hung were May Day.
11:39I have to get the fuck out of here.
11:41It's too dangerous.
11:42Yeah, you knew that coming in.
11:44Yeah, coming in, I assumed you guys had an organized operation.
11:47Oh, was this how you thought it would just go smoothly?
11:49No bumps.
11:50It's a rebellion.
11:51Who'd I talk to about getting out of here?
11:53I don't trust you guys anymore.
11:55What about the trust we put in you?
11:57We have never had someone get this close to these girls.
12:00Their fathers, the men who run this country.
12:04We waited for this.
12:06If you leave now, we may never have the chance again.
12:12We need you to do this.
12:13Do what?
12:14What's the goalpost?
12:17When do I get to leave?
12:19I don't know.
12:21Fuck you.
12:23Find out.
12:25Look, if you get something helpful,
12:28information that really makes a difference,
12:30at least they feel like they got some return on investment.
12:33Just don't get caught, and how will I do it?
13:13This wasn't just a tea in honor of the ants.
13:16It was the last chance for the top greens to show their wife material.
13:21Running a high commander's house was definitely not for the faint-hearted.
13:25The ants needed to see who could handle the pressure, and who would break.
13:29They would end up with losers, abusers, or worse.
13:33One stumble, and you could be forever fucked.
13:37Welcome to my world, ladies.
13:42Blessed day, our most cherished guests.
13:45What an honor to welcome you all here today.
13:48We are so grateful for how well you've groomed our girls for marriage.
13:52I'm sure it was no small task.
13:56Please, enjoy this afternoon as a humble token of our appreciation.
14:01We are but vessels for his will.
14:04And the girls are eager to show their appreciation as well.
14:08Isn't that right, Jehoshabba?
14:11Yes, Mother.
14:13God has been so generous in blessing us all with the best teachers.
14:19And I plan to carry the wisdom you have taught us for the rest of my life.
14:29Shall we begin?
14:30Please, follow me.
14:37Perfect nails, tailored dresses.
14:40Meanwhile, these women are all married to war criminals.
14:43Mrs. Mackenzie is the alpha here, because she's married to the most important commander.
14:48She has power.
14:50Reflected, but still.
14:51That's what all these girls desperately want.
14:53Power is survival in Gilead.
14:56Given the most recent troubles, are you concerned some commanders will miss the ball?
15:01All is as the Lord intends.
15:05Praise be.
15:06Jehoshabba's father designed the colonies.
15:08He took a trip to visit them recently.
15:10A piece of intel I picked up when Jehoshabba complained her Martha slacked off during his absence.
15:15Is it more prudent to postpone until we're sure that the dust has settled on all this ugliness?
15:21All will be well.
15:23Becca's parents are nobodies, so her mom has to make nice with everybody.
15:27The commanders will be there. You have no reason to worry.
15:30I will trust in the ants, as always.
15:34Ladies, Aunt Lydia, would you do us the honor?
15:40Heavenly Father, we offer this bounty and abundance in thanks.
15:44Heavenly Father, or Mother, goddess of the earth, if you really exist, strike lightning through these bitches' hairdos and send
15:52a helicopter to get me out of Gilead.
15:54I grant these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord.
16:00Also, I'd love a Big Mac.
16:02Amen.
16:03Amen.
16:06Let's have some tea.
16:16From what I can tell, these girls aren't expected to make anything or do anything.
16:21It's all been bought at a shop or prepared by their Marthas.
16:25Their only job is to make sure everything is perfect.
16:28That usually involves bossing around the people below them, which they're fucking great at.
16:36The color.
16:37It's too light. You didn't brew long enough.
16:39It's jasmine tea. It's supposed to be light.
16:43If you brew it too long, it gets bitter.
16:45Oh, my God!
16:48Why are you doing this to me?
16:52I'll make you a new one. Don't distress yourself.
16:55Oh, my.
16:56Okay.
16:58It's okay.
17:06It's lovely.
17:07Thank you, Rosa.
17:09You got this.
17:15I feel so bad for them.
17:18For that to happen right at the start of their season.
17:21You mean the bus?
17:24I hope that they find every single one of those terrorists and gender traitors and string them up like rats.
17:36Can I get you more ginger ale?
17:39Aren't you sweet?
17:41No, thank you. I'm fine.
17:46Best of luck, girls!
17:47Best of luck, girls!
17:48Best of luck, girls!Clap,
17:48clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap! Nice to meet
18:06you!
18:39Excellent form, girls.
19:13Wonderful.
19:21Well done, Miriam.
20:14Oh, dear.
20:17I'm so, so sorry, Mrs. Mackenzie.
20:19I'll go get my Martha now.
20:21There's no worry at all, dear.
21:05I can't believe I did that.
21:08It was a mistake, but the Lord waits to be gracious to us, so fingers crossed.
21:18What happened?
21:20She spilled her tea.
21:25That's it?
21:34I don't want to stay.
21:37Pray, I'm so sorry to have failed you.
21:39All one can do is her best.
21:42Pray I won't be married off to a man from the colonies.
21:44Please, will I?
21:47Whatever happens is in God's plan for you.
21:50I should do that.
21:52I don't know.
21:54Nice hand.
22:04It's okay.
22:05It's okay.
22:08I'm sorry.
22:09It's okay.
22:12I didn't understand it then.
22:16I'm not sure I understand it now.
22:20But it was real to them.
22:23As real as anything I've ever felt.
22:27As real as a heart attack.
22:30Or a hanging.
22:59Blessed day, are you lost?
23:04Blessed day, sir.
23:08Well, what brings you in here?
23:13Forgive me the chocolate on your desk, sir.
23:21I haven't had any since before I came to Gilead.
23:39I'm sorry.
23:42I'll accept whatever correction you deem appropriate, sir.
23:57I used to bring this home to my daughter when she was little.
24:03And I don't think she likes them anymore.
24:10Aunt Lydia, she paired me with Miss Agnes.
24:20I have much to learn and she sets such a pious example.
24:27And she's been so kind to me.
24:32Yeah, she's a very good girl.
24:37I suppose she's not a girl now.
24:45Is she happy?
24:53Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.
25:02You must be needed at the party.
25:05Go and grace.
25:40So how do you think you did?
25:43Fine.
25:45Fine.
25:49Well, I'm sure you guys looked better than Miriam.
25:52That wasn't her fault.
25:53Who cares?
25:54She chunked it.
25:56Poor Miriam.
25:57Girls, back into the parlor. Off you go.
26:04I'm so proud of you.
26:06Thank you, Rosa.
26:18I know what you're doing.
26:20I wasn't doing anything.
26:24Staring at a man like that?
26:27Maybe you don't care what happens to you.
26:29But you can get him in a lot of trouble.
26:32Guardians are punished for a lot less.
26:35Come now.
26:36It's time for the commander's cake.
26:38Just so you know, I used to have a lot of guy friends.
26:42It was totally platonic and it wasn't a big deal.
26:46It's time for me.
26:53If you wake up when we're doing this, you're sinking.
27:03You're going to go outside.
27:08It's a big deal.
27:11I'm so excited.

31:44You wanted to know whose dads were traveling.
31:45I was Swiss or neutral.
31:49It's an import.
31:51Look at the back.
31:56Japan has sanctions against Gilead.
32:01What was he doing there?
32:02What the fuck would I know?
32:04That's your job.
32:10Also, you might want to be careful with Agnes.

34:18Oh, thank the Lord, Dr. Grove does beautiful work.
34:24I blame your mother for this.
34:26She gave you weak teeth, didn't she?
34:30Tabitha?
34:31No, not Tabitha.
34:34Tabitha, it's not your fault that you come from weak genes.
34:39It's where that rebellious streak comes from.
34:52She has a weak chin.
34:54Can't fix that.
35:05So, how many mothers have you had?
35:09One.
35:11Paula's my stepmother.
35:13My mother died.
35:15But your stepmother mentioned someone else.
35:18Your birth mother.
35:20We don't.
35:23It's rude to talk about that here.
35:27I'm sorry.
35:32My mom died, too.
35:39I'm sorry.
35:42So did my birth mother.
35:47Daisy, dear.
35:49It's time for you to head back.
35:50Your ride's around the house.
35:52A leftover cake.
35:53For you and the other parole girls.
36:01Have a blessed evening, Miss Agnes.
36:39A lot later, I found out what happened to the florist.
36:43She tried to run when the eyes came to the shop.
36:46She was shot dead in the street.
36:52I found out her name was Candace.
36:55Rest in peace, Candace.
36:58I'm sorry I couldn't help you.
37:14Candace panicked.
37:16And now she's dead.
37:18Don't show anything.
37:20No matter what.
37:21No matter how much I'm freaking out inside.
37:27I need to keep my shit together.
37:29Like they do.
37:30Like Agnes.
37:31Like all of them.
37:33I'm sure they're panicking a lot of the time.
37:35And I don't even see it.
37:37Push it down.
37:39You can do it.
37:40That's what they're always telling us in Gilead.
37:43God never gifts us more than we can handle.
37:51But that, as he used to say in my world, is bullshit.
38:14But that, as he used to say in my world, is bullshit.
