00:01Previously on The Testaments
00:02Wrong!
00:03It 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 mean earth is no easy feat.
00:12Who can bring forth God's children?
00:14Who?
00:15Fuck 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.
00:24Starting to move very, very fast.
00:27It's a dress, not a husband.
00:28Oh, yeah.
00:29She could get an offer from a commander.
00:31The dance.
00:32You will have to make many difficult decisions when you are wives.
00:36I 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!
00:52Get 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?
01:04Is that Mayday?
01:05It was meant to be a retrieval mission.
01:07The girls weren't 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 sloppy fish.
01:15My life is in your hands here.
01:38Giilead was so beautiful.
01:40Sometimes I could forget where I was.
01:42I could forget to be scared shitless for a second, but just a second.
01:48Since the bus attack, security was everywhere.
01:51I was sure the eyes were going to pull me off the street.
01:54Of course, the gals had 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, Miss Mackenzie is still choosing a few others.
02:34Tell Garth he's got to move me or get me out.
02:38I think they're closing in.
02:41Please.
02:47We're ready.
02:55We're ready.
03:12Beautiful day for a tea party.
03:13It's hot.
03:14Anyone else hot?
03:17You both look 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.
03:26Just in case.
03:27She's not supposed to do that.
03:29Whatever.
03:30God loves a woman to make this piece.
03:32You know what's against the rules.
03:36What's up with her?
03:37What'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?
03:58Break over a second.
04:00She's not used to this stuff.
04:01Don't feel sorry for them.
04:03They tried to kill us.
04:04They're rebels go.
04:06We'll catch up in a second.
04:08For real girls.
04:14Look, I know it's scary.
04:16They pretended to be one of us.
04:17Meanwhile, the entire time they hated us.
04:21They tried to kill us.
04:23The eyes will always find them.
04:25You don't have to worry.
04:26Okay?
04:54This Madeline is perfect.
05:11The eyesHis은 홈 mid-whorpe.

12:33just don't get caught in how will i do it
12:34let's go
12:40let's go
12:51Let's go.
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.
13:22Running 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, Jehoshabah?
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.
14:42Mrs. Mackenzie is the alpha here, because she's married to the most important commander.
14:48She has power.
14:50Reflected, but still, that's what all these girls desperately want.
14:54Power 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.
15:06Jehoshabah's father designed the colonies.
15:08He took a trip to visit them recently.
15:10A piece of intel I picked up when Jehoshabah 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.
15:28You 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,
15:50strike lightning through these bitches' hairdos and send a helicopter to get me out of Gilead.
15:54And 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.
16:38You didn't brew long enough.
16:39It's jasmine tea.
16:41It'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.
16:53Don't distress yourself.
16:54Oh, my God.
16:58It's okay.
16:59Don't worry about it.
17:00You're good.
17:00I'm just extra tea if you do this.
17:06It's lovely.
17:07Thank you, Rosa.
17:09You got this.
17:10Okay.
17:10Okay.
17:11Okay.
17:14Okay.
17:15I feel so bad for them, for 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 traders and string them
17:29up like rats.
17:36Can I get you more ginger ale?
17:39Aren't you sweet?
17:41No, thank you.
17:42I'm fine.
17:46Best of luck, girls.
18:39Excellent form, girls.
18:40Excellent form, girls.
18:46Yes.
18:56Good-bye.
18:58Hi.
18:58Yeah.
19:01Great.
19:03Hey.
19:08Thanks, Angus.
19:21Well done, Miriam.
20:08Miriam.
20:17I'm so, so sorry, Mrs. Mackenzie.
20:19I'll go get my Martha now.
20:21It's no worry at all, dear.
21:06I can't believe I did that.
21:09It was a mistake, but the Lord waits to be gracious to us, so fingers crossed.
21:17What happened?
21:20She spilled her tea.
21:24That's it?
21:32I don't want to stay.
21:36I, Bray, I'm so sorry to have failed you.
21:39All one can do is her best.
21:42Bray, I won't be married off to a man from the colonies, will I?
21:47Bray, whatever happens is in God's plan for you.
21:53Bray, I won't be married off to a man from the colonies.
22:16I'm not sure I understand it now, but it was real to them.
22:23As real as anything I've ever felt.
22:27As real as a heart attack or a hanging.
22:59Bray, I won't be married off to a man from the colonies.
23:01Bray, 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
24:28And she's been so kind to me
24:32Yeah, she's a very good girl
24:38I 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
25:15Go and grace
25:40So how do you think you did?
25:43Fine.
25:45Fine.
25:50Well, I'm sure you guys looked better than Miriam.
25:52That wasn't her fault.
25:54Who cares?
25:54She jumped it.
25:56Poor Miriam.
25:57Girls, back into the parlor.
25:59Off you go.
26:04I'm so proud of you.
26:05Thank 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,
26:40I used to have a lot of guy friends.
26:42It was totally platonic,
26:43and it wasn't a big deal.
26:45It doesn't have to go.
26:46I'm so successful.
26:53It's been a long way of starting to go on.
26:59I didn't go out much less.
27:03I didn't give you anything.
27:04I didn't offer a lot of flowers.
27:05I didn't offer any kind soon.
27:17Ladies, the Lord revels in how you have all comported yourselves today.
27:23You have done your mothers proud, and you have done us proud.
27:28And so we finish with a Gilead tradition, the commander's cake.
27:33Inside one of these slices, a hidden treasure.
27:37Shall we find out who is so lucky?
27:39Who will have his light shined upon her at this juncture?
27:44Oh, let them eat their cake, Vidala.
27:47Dig in, girls.
28:09Agnes found the bride!
28:12History has it that whoever gets the bride is the first to marry.
28:16It's kind of like catching the bouquet.
28:19It's a porcelain bride.
28:22Not a plastic one.
28:24There's no plastic in Gilead.
28:41Is it bad?
28:42Of course it's bad.
28:45How awful.
28:47And with the ball so soon.
28:49Don't worry, Paula.
28:51I'll call my husband.
28:53Make sure she gets seen right away.
28:55May it be your kindness.
28:59Go clean up, Agnes.
29:01I'll send for a car.
29:06Hey, don't worry.
29:08My dad will take good care of you.
29:10Promise.
29:12She's fine.
29:13Yes.
29:14Yes.
29:16Yes.
29:17Yes.
29:17Yes.
29:19Yes.
29:22Yes.
29:31Have a blessed day, Commander.
29:40Agnes.
29:40Lovely to see you, as always.
29:43Come.
29:47I guess even in Gilead, no one likes to go to the fucking dentist.
30:11You're in luck.
30:14Simple bonding will do the trick.
30:15Very routine.
30:19Praise be.
30:20This is just a mild sedative.
30:26There we go.
30:28Just recite the Lord's Prayer, and before you know it, you'll wake up with a perfect smile.
30:37Our father, the Lord in heaven.
30:40Our father, the Lord in heaven, hallowed be landing.
30:43I can now come.
30:46I will be done.
30:49Our father, the Lord in heaven.
30:51I will be done.
30:56I will be done.
31:01I will be done.
31:03I will be done.
31:08I will be done.
31:21The Lord in heaven.
31:33Hey. Hey.
31:40A chocolate from Commander McKenzie's office.
31:44You wanted to know whose dads were traveling.
31:46A Swiss or neutral.
31:50It's an import.
31:50Look at the back.
31:56Japan has sanctions against Gilead.
32:01What was he doing there?
32:02What the fuck would I know?
32:04It's your job.
32:10Also, you might want to be careful with Agnes.
32:16She's in love with you.
32:20Nice work letting that happen.
32:22Nice work letting that happen.
32:29Nice work letting that happen.
32:30Nice work letting that happen.
32:31Nice work letting that happen.
32:32Nice work letting that happen.
32:33Nice work letting that happen.
32:39Nice work letting that happen.
33:09Welcome back.
33:13If you have any pain, tell your mother.
33:16She'll call me.
33:18Oh, and good luck at the ball.
33:20I'm sure you and Becca will do great.
34:07Okay, come.
34:09Let me see.
34:12Smile.
34:13Open.
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.
34:34It'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.
35:12Paula's my stepmother.
35:13My mother died.
35:15But your stepmother mentioned someone else.
35:18Your birth mother.
35:20We don't.
35:24It'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, it's time for you to head back.
35:50Your ride's around the house.
35:52The leftover cake for you and the other parole girls.
36:01Have a blessed evening, Miss Agnes.
36:03I'm sorry.
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
36:56rest in peace Candace
36:58I'm sorry I couldn't help you
37:14Candace panicked and now she's dead
37:18don't show anything no matter what
37:21no matter how much I'm freaking out inside
