00:01Previously, on the Testaments.
00:03You want to know what it was like for me growing up in Gilead?
00:07At 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 plum up.
01:07And get her before she can see you.
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.
01:23A secret.
01:24Shunammite 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.
02:40Stop, get to death.
02:41Well, hey.
02:41Well, hello million.
02:46What's this?
02:50Well, I was the only amazing thing.
02:54This day, I was too late.
02:54The old's old's older Fragen that I had had as a uniquely a
02:57Yes, I should take it.
03:02Lump, the lost three thunderalia.
03:06Can everyone see your mother again?
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.
03:42Blessed be his 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 or laughed.
04:04We're not telling fibs now, are we?
04:07You know the aunts will do their inspection.
04:10No, 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.
04:59Of 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 rainbow through the rock.
05:35Is it translucent?
05:37How are you?
05:39As I was walking along the forest, I came upon an enchanted castle.
05:46I saw inside there were all these little girls locked up.
05:51Sweet, 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?
06:44A 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.
06:55Yes, 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.
07:27Completely 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.
07:44Yes.
07:45We pray a kind one.
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?
08:32Or smell.
08:34Like the air before a storm.
08:37Blessed day.
08:39Like a guardian walking past you in the summer heat.
08:45I'm not.
09:00I'm the liar.
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. Have you seen Becca?
09:24No, I'm sorry. I was praying while I waited for you.
09:27You don't have to do that. Just 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.
09:40Is this about yesterday?
09:44It's not that long.
09:45Hurry up.
09:50Aunt Gabbana?
09:51It's not that long.
09:53It's not that long.
09:59It's not that long.
10:01It's not that long.
10:04It's not that long.
10:10It's not that long.
10:18It's not that long.
10:20It's not that long.
10:22It's not that long.
10:44It's a beautiful show tonight.
10:47Oh, close to date. Girls, up, up, let's go.
10:58Girls, up, up, someone's going to last.
11:01Let's go.
11:02Let's go.
11:42Let's go.
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,
12:18he 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.
12:47Praise be.
12:49Praise be.
12:51Praise be.
13:06Take my meatloaf.
13:07You 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.
14:02Check your tail feathers.
14:05We need you in corrections.
14:08Come.
14:08A pearl girl needs your guidance.
14:10On your special day?
14:11What a drag.
14:15Corrections were done in a supper part of the school.
14:18The aunt's wing.
14:20This room reeked of the aunt's.
14:22What did she do?
14:23I don't know.
14:25It smelled like boiled wool and sweat.
14:27It smelled of certainty, if 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 trusted you to guide this girl as you would your own child.
14:50I'm sorry, Aunt Vidala.
14:54You have been blessed with womanhood today.
14:58Is that a challenge you are ready for?
15:01Yes, Aunt Vidala.
15:02Then show me.
15:04Teach your strained lamb.
15:07Get up!
15:08You don't lounge around while defending his name.
15:15What must a sinner do?
15:21Pay, Aunt Vidala.
15:24She must pay for her sins, Aunt Vidala.
15:27Pay for her sins! Pay for her sins!
15:29Tell her what she is, Agnes.
15:32Dirty words come from what?
15:37A dirty girl.
15:42Corrections was our time to unleash and we devoured it
15:46Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl!
15:49I'm ashamed of how much I miss it
15:51Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl!
15:55Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl!
16:02Whose fault is this?
16:04We understood power in rage
16:06Teenage girls appreciate rage
16:09In Gilead, as elsewhere
16:11You are nothing
16:12You're a slut from the streets of Sodom
16:15A child of sinners
16:17She was there
16:18She hurt my blasphemy
16:21I swear to God
16:53All right, friends
16:54Time for cake
17:07Open
17:12A vessel unclean
17:14Has no use in the service of the Lord
17:22God wants you to put your shoulder
17:24Into it, Agnes
17:27I expected more from you
17:29On your special day
17:32Now clean up
17:34And get to class
17:50That soap is disgusting
17:52I heard the Martha's used
17:57Rendered cow fat
17:58And fireplace ashes
18:03By his mercy
18:04At least Aunt Gabbana spared our tongues
18:07But I've taught you how to stay silent
18:10Agnes
18:11I had to confess my sins
18:14I made a commitment to God
18:16To be a good pearl girl
18:18Oh, congratulations
18:19You're being a perfect little pearl girl
18:21I didn't mean to rat you out
18:22But when you got it all up in my face
18:24It was a lot
18:26Corrections are a lot for you
18:28Assembly is a lot for you
18:29Maybe serving God
18:30Maybe serving God is just too much for you
18:31I really am sorry
18:34Why did you come here?
18:36Why don't you just go back home?
18:41Not everyone has a home to go back to
18:46Some people have crappy lives
18:49A princess wouldn't get it
18:55Advise, grace
18:57I was granted a fresh start
18:59Here in Gilead
19:07Please give me a chance
19:20And on this day
19:22Of all days
19:24I think you deserved
19:25Every bit of that punishment
19:27Every bit
19:28Do you agree?
19:29Yes
19:30Thank you for coming, Mrs. Brighton
19:31Please do say hello to the commander for me
19:35I'll see you, Mrs. McKenzie
19:36Agnes will be just a moment
19:37Praise be
19:42There are changes happening in your body
19:45And more on the way
19:46Your prefrontal cortex is still developing
19:49And all that estrogen pumping through your body
19:51Will tempt you into impulsive decisions
19:55Dangerous ones
19:58Womanhood is a test, Agnes
20:01A lifelong test
20:06The aunts didn't teach us science
20:09My prefrontal cortex
20:10Had no idea what Paula was talking about
20:15Dr. Grove is ready for you, Agnes
20:24I blinked
20:25And you girls grew up
20:27Becca's gonna be thrilled you're green now
20:31I'm glad we're in it together
20:33There's a lot on her mind today
20:36Becca's a worry wart
20:37It's just how she is
20:39Open
20:44Well, praise be
20:46Perfect teeth
20:47Just perfect
20:51You know, maybe you could help her through it all
20:55She's less anxious around you
20:56I mean, you've always been so mature for your age
21:01Thank you
21:04Okay
21:05Only an x-ray to go
21:06Can I get a, uh, size 2 bite wing, please?
21:18Now, I hope
21:20That this isn't
21:24Too heavy for you
21:26I imagine your breasts must be quite tender
21:34It's not too heavy
21:37Lovely
21:39You know, you really are
21:41Getting to be a big girl, Agnes
21:52And that's that
21:55Let's take some pictures
21:57Excellent
21:58Thank you
21:59Open
22:03And bite
22:05Perfect
22:13Still as you can be
22:39That's when I started having nightmares about my wedding night
22:43About my husband
22:46A dark bedroom
22:50And then a smell
22:53And then he was in front of me
22:55My husband
22:58But he had no face
23:01I tried to run away
23:02But he always caught up with me
23:05Wake up
23:08Agnes
23:09Aunt Lydia
23:10Yes
23:11It's time
23:12Come along
23:29It's a chilly night, dear
23:57Come along, dear
24:26We gather here tonight
24:28As this daughter of Gilead
24:30Comes of age
24:34Seeking his divine protection
24:37And she will need it
24:38His protection
24:40For being a woman
24:41On God's green earth
24:43Is no easy feat
24:47In you go, dear
24:48Rub-a-dub-dub
24:58But we needn't look so far back
25:00To see the suffering
25:01Of women
25:02Do we
25:04That's why Gilead
25:06Was created
25:08To bring women back
25:09To their rightful place
25:18The world would be lost
25:20The world would be lost without you
25:21Who can bring forth God's children
25:24Who will populate this world
25:26So his divine presence
25:28Can be multiplied
25:31Who
25:33But you
25:38You join your sisters now
25:40In this holy endeavor
25:42Love her
25:42Love her
26:13Agnes McKenzie, jettison all that came before this moment
26:17and embrace your new role.
26:19May the generations born to your womb be worthy in his eyes.
26:26Blessed be the fruit.
26:28Blessed be the fruit.
26:32May the Lord open.
26:44A token of your passage.
26:47May he bless your new path under his eye.
26:51Under his eye.
27:02Wonderful.
27:11Hi.
27:13Want some help?
27:17Thought I was going to drown in there.
27:21Me too.
27:22When I had my initiation, I feel like I'm still drowning.
27:30It's better that you're here now.
27:35Praise be.
27:38I thought you were mad.
27:43This was your season and I was ruining it.
27:49I thought you didn't want me to be a green.
27:56I didn't.
28:00I didn't want this for either of us.
28:07I don't want to get married.
28:12I don't want a husband.
28:25But what else would you do?
28:31I don't know.
28:38Aunt Lydia said we get to leave everything behind.
28:45Everything that happened before tonight.
28:49Do you think that's real?
28:53What would you want to leave behind?
29:07It will be great.
29:10Pushing strollers together.
29:13No aunts following us around.
29:17That does sound nice.
29:21All will be well, Rebecca.
29:24All manner of things will be well.
29:30I'm freezing.
29:36Yeah.
29:37Come on.
29:39Let's go home.
29:40Go home.
29:52Please go home.
30:03Take care.
30:06Come on.
30:07Bye-bye.
30:07Bye-bye.
30:09Let's go.
33:09Even in Gilead.
33:11Even if there were consequences.
33:20Blessed morning.
33:23Blessed morning.
33:33Pray you know smoking is not allowed, right?
33:39Yes, Ms. Agnes.
33:43My apologies.
33:49Congratulations on your initiation.
33:59I'd better get inside, Ms. Agnes.
34:10Sometimes you couldn't help but want.
34:14Even if you tried your best to stop it.
34:20But there is no point to it.
34:24All that wanting.
34:34Agnes, finally.
34:35Agnes, finally.
34:40Your father is home.
34:42He'll be pleased to hear of your development.
35:05You look so pretty this morning.
35:06You look so pretty this morning.
35:10He's in the parlor.
35:23All these things need to be fixed.
35:25If they're temp controlled, then I think the transport is going to be fine.
35:28It's certainly vital.
35:31Blessed morning, Angel.
36:08Father, as he blessed Ruth and Leah, he has blessed me this day.
36:12As he answered the prayers of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca, he has saved me from barrenness.
36:19By his hand, he will make me fruitful.
36:23I know he will.
36:30Blessed be the fruit, Agnes.
36:33May the Lord open, Daddy.
36:38Going to the chapel and we're going to get married.
36:44Going to the chapel and we're going to get married.
36:53Gee, I really love you and we're going to get married.
36:59Going to the chapel of love.
37:07Spring is here
37:10The sky is blue
37:14Birds all sing
37:18As if they knew
37:23Today's a day
37:26We'll say I do
37:29And we'll never
37:31Be lonely anymore
37:34Because we're
37:38Going to the chapel
37:40And we're
37:42Gonna get married
37:45Going to the chapel
37:48And we're
