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?
06:30Under his eyes, sweetie, bye.
06:32Bye, Rosa.
06:35Bye.
06:37Bye, Rosa.
06:49Once when we were pinks, I smiled at a boy on the playground.
06:53Theonce taped my mouth shut and 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.
07:40When we became plums, we started going on the field trips.
07:45They were fun.
07:47Some parts more than others.
07:48Some parts more than others.
07:56Some parts more than others.
08:06When I met you in the restaurant, in front of me, I was just like a swim in the sand.
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, do 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, these 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, much like yourselves.
09:45This young girl was a kind who liked being the center of attention.
09:49Spirited girl.
09:51That 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, we are mortally dangerous to otherwise perfectly good men.
10:28They were helpless to resist us.
10:31Even us, the daughters of commanders, the most godly of girls.
10:57I was a precious flower.
11:01Then why did I sometimes feel like a prized pig?
11:36At the Aunt Lydia 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.
12:00The skirt looks fine.
12:01May the Lord open.
12:02Don't bother.
12:02Even God knows Paula has no taste.
12:05Come along, friend.
12:09Becca was the first person I met when we moved here from Colorado.
12:13She was my best friend.
12:14Except 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 as blessing.
12:29You have your dress fitting?
12:32After lunch.
12:33Becca was already green.
12:35She was getting ready to be matched.
12:36She 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, everyone 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.
12:53But 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.
13:03Shunammite.
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.
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, the purges had happened.
13:31As always, those remaining were able to shape history as 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.
13:55But 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.
14:16Aunt Lydia and her missionaries gathered them from all over the world.
14:20They were mostly runaways.
14:22Of course, they had to be young, and 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 up by a Pearl Girl.
14:47The passion of the converted.
14:50What a pain in the ass.
15:14Nice work, Constance.
15:20Nice 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.
15:48I pray 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.
16:13Come along.
16:16Agnes, get up, please.
16:18I'm sure it's good news.
16:20Back to work.
16:23Back to work.
16:24Back to work.
16:31Back to work.
16:32Back to work.
16:36Back to work.
16:55By tradition, only dead people are allowed to have statues.
16:59I have been given one while still alive.
17:04Praise be your works, Aunt Lydia.
17:07I have been prematurely petrified.
17:15Agnes McKenzie, how the time goes by.
17:20I have been watching you for quite a while now.
17:24Why, Aunt Lydia?
17:26Soon to be eligible.
17:28May God make me truly worthy.
17:31Ah, you will be rewarded.
17:33If 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.
17:45We inspire the world with our good works, Agnes.
17:48Do you agree?
17:49Yes, Aunt Lydia.
17:51Excellent.
17:51I have good work that needs doing.
17:54Helping a new friend feel welcome.
18:03Agnes, this is Daisy.
18:06One of my precious, precious pearls recently arrived.
18:10Daisy may be joining your class.
18:13She's going to be a plum?
18:16Perhaps.
18:17I'd like you to show her around.
18:19Make her feel comfortable.
18:20Be 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.
18:30Lambs, don't stray.
18:33Yes, Aunt Lydia.
18:35Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
18:38Wonderful.
18:39Go in grace.
18:51Blessed fruit.
18:52May the Lord open.
19:03Painting and sketching.
19:05Yes.
19:11Music classroom.
19:18The comportment's this way.
19:20Domestic 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.
19:39Weirdo.
19:42Aunt Lydia didn't tell me much about you.
19:46Did she tell you anything about me?
19:50Nothing.
19:51Miss Agnes.
20:02Did she ask you to watch me?
20:06Of course.
20:08Miss Agnes.
20:10Let's 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.
20:31This is the dining room.
20:33Pretty 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?
20:47Yes, Amphidala.
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, Amphidala.
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.
21:18Highest blessings we are fed.
21:20Give us, Lord, our daily bread.
21:22Amen.
21:26Girls, you may socialize.
21:45What is all this, then?
21:46This is Daisy.
21:48Aunt 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.
22:17Daisy, 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.
23:09Daisy.
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.
23:23I'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.
23:44Come on.
23:56They stuck you with a 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.
24:12She'll tell Aunt Lydia everything.
24:14She's a pearl girl.
24:17I don't like her.
24:18Your armarca is here to collect you.
24:20Yes, 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.
24:45Becca, pray.
24:46Come along.
24:46Shake a leg.
24:48Go with Grace.
24:51In Grace, I go.
25:06Good girl.
25:10You should tell on 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 traitor or anything.
25:28Just something small.
25:33Agnes, I know that you are very, very nice.
25:36But it's time to plumb up and get her before she gets you.
25:59Cinnamon toast.
26:01Praise be his bounty.
26:07Is it awful?
26:10God never sends us more than we can bear.
26:13Sometimes he does 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 at the dance.
26:33Her dad could.
26:36She could marry one who lives in Wyoming.
26:39Or 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 doesn't let his wife have any friends.
26:55Try not to think about it.
26:59Rosa, how did you meet your husband?
27:03Before, I mean.
27:08Oh, we met in a bookstore.
27:12Almost everyone we knew then was meeting online on Tinder.
27:16Bumble.
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.
27:28Blessed 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.
28:03When 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.
28:20Mother.
28:24They 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.
28:40Blessed evening.
28:43Blessed evening.
28:56Blessed evening.
28:58Blessed evening.
29:00Blessed evening.
29:01Blessed evening.
29:01Blessed evening.
29:02Blessed evening.
29:02Blessed evening.
29:03Blessed evening.
29:05Blessed evening.
29:06Blessed evening.
29:07Blessed evening.
29:39Assembly time, my plums. Two lines. Two lines.
29:44Posture, Agnes.
29:46I'm sorry, Epidola.
29:52Plums, please assemble in the dining hall.
29:55Hurry along.
29:56Kings, to your classes. Cha-cha.
30:25Let's take this, Agnes.
30:26Let's go.
30:49What was the day?
30:51How was it?
30:52May the Lord open.
30:53Fine.
30:56Shut up.
30:58It was fine.
30:59I feel like Buffy's leave.
31:08Blessed day, graceful friends.
31:11We need your energy.
31:12Because we have some difficult work to do today.
31:16For him.
31:23Are you ready?
31:24Yes, Mother's Day.
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.
31:53To protect you.
31:54God's most precious girls.
31:57Instead.
31:59He 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.
32:14Shame upon any of you that tempt a man.
32:18Now.
32:20This is your decision.
32:22You 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 we pay?
32:38Quiet.
32:40Quiet, man.
32:43Quiet, man.
32:45Quiet, man.
32:46Quiet, man.
32:48Quiet, man.
32:49Quiet, man.
32:49Quiet, man.
32:49Quiet, man.
32:50Quiet, man.
33:04I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
33:17I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
33:42I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
34:17I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
34:20I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
34:24I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
34:37I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
35:12I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
35:37Miss Agnes, I am so sorry.
35:40I committed blasphemy.
35:43You were unwell.
35:45I took his name in vain.
35:47Agnes, there is no excuse.
35:51I know I must confess.
35:54Okay.
35:57Aunt Lydia is in charge of punishing pro girls.
36:02Okay.
36:05Praise be her discipline.
36:08I need to learn.
36:17Do you think she will cut out my tongue?
36:21There are stories.
36:23Right now, not 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.
36:38If it's God's... I can't. Agnes, 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.
37:34I don't know what to do.
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.
38:13Let's go.
38:14We'll do it.
38:16Let's go.
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 Bar, you have packages waiting.
39:37If you're in the paperclip club, sit tight.
39:40That's it for tonight.
39:44Goodbye.
39:57Goodbye.
40:58When I open up and see the person falling here is me, it's a different way to be.
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, it was when it all started.
42:12To the amazing mind, you're understanding at the right.
42:21With everything to me.
42:28Oh, my life, changing every day, in every possible way.
42:43I don't want a dream.
42:47It's never quite a thing.
42:51Cause you're a dream to me, dream to me.
43:10It's never quite a thing.
43:13I don't want anything.
43:32I'll see you next time.
