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?
06:30Under his eyes, wait a bit.
06:32Bye, Rosa.
06:34Bye, Rosa.
06:34I'm sorry!
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.
07:31I 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.
08:06Some parts more than others.
08:17Some parts more than others.
08:21Some parts more than others.
08:24Some parts more than others.
08:25Come on, girls.
08:27Here we go actually.
08:29And tell me what my dream is
08:35Dreaming and screaming
08:36Quiet, quiet, quiet
08:38Dreaming, dreaming and screaming
08:42I don't want to live on charity
08:50Let's just read or is it fantasy
09:00Gross
09:00Hold it enough
09:02God's justice is beautiful
09:05I'm sorry Aunt Vidala
09:08Friends, these men
09:11Do you know what crime they committed?
09:15Yes, Shunammite
09:17Rape
09:17Aunt Vidala, that's what the red X is for, it's for rape
09:21Praise be
09:23Friends, these men
09:24These horrible men
09:27These...
09:30Rapists?
09:30You say rapists?
09:32Rapists, yes
09:33Thank you, Shunammite
09:36I'm not rapist
09:37I didn't know that
09:38Friends, it's a ghastly story
09:41These men stole a young girl
09:43Much like yourselves
09:45This young girl was a kind who liked being the center of attention
09:49Spirited girl
09:50That kind of girl often earns a violent end for herself
09:55Praise be his judgment
09:56Praise be his judgment
09:58These men saw this girl
10:00And they were overcome by their urges
10:04They came in the night and took her
10:06From 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
10:18That is the burden that God has personally laid upon each of you
10:22Just by existing
10:24We were 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?
11:03Thank you
11:06Thank you
11:36At 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
11:46Once we became eligible
11:47Which only happened if God blessed us with a period
11:51Then we became greens
11:52And 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 on, friend
12:09Becca was the first person I met when we moved here from Colorado
12:12She was my best friend
12:14Except we weren't allowed to have best friends
12:16The aunt said that best friends led to keeping secrets
12:19And secrets led to disobedience
12:21And disobedient girls became women who were immoral
12:24Obviously
12:25We've been sent good weather
12:26We've been sent good weather
12:27His 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
12:40This 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
12:53But I received what's wrong
12:55Very, very cute hair
12:56Yeah, I definitely agree
12:58Thanks
12:59You, Martha?
13:00Blessed be yours too
13:00Seriously
13:01My Martha sucks
13:02I look like I have a bad head
13:04Tunamite
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, blessed day
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
13:28The purges had happened
13:31As always, those remaining were able to shape history as they liked
13:34Some people were hung
13:37And some had schools named after them
13:43At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived
13:46And enslaved by all kinds of passions and envy
13:51We lived in malice and envy
13:52Being hated and hating one another
13:54But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared
13:59He saved us
14:01Not because of the righteous things we had done
14:03But because of his mercy
14:06White was for the pearl girls
14:09They were new arrivals from outside of Gilead
14:12Converts for a godly struggle
14:14We might become ears
14:15Having the hope of eternal life
14:16Aunt Lydia and her missionaries
14:18Gathered 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
14:50What a pain in the ass
15:15What a pain in the ass
15:18What a pain in the ass
15:32Really?
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.
15:49Pray forgive me.
15:50You are forgiven.
15:52Just be mindful around all of the dollar.
15:57Aunt Gabbana.
15:59Blessed morning.
16:06Agnes, Aunt Lydia would like to speak with you.
16:14Come along.
16:16Agnes, get up, please.
16:18I'm sure it's good news.
16:20Back 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 Mackenzie, 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.
18:14She's going to be a plum?
18:16Perhaps.
18:17I'd like you to show her around.
18:19Make her feel comfortable.
18:21Be her shepherdess.
18:23It's an honor for you, Agnes.
18:25Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
18:28Daisy, be a good girl and stay with Agnes.
18:31Lambs, don't stray.
18:33Yes, Aunt Lydia.
18:35Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
18:38Wonderful.
18:38Go in grace.
18:51Blessed fruit.
18:52May the Lord open.
19:03Painting and sketching.
19:11Music classroom.
19:19Comportments this way.
19:20Domestic management is upstairs with Aunt L'Oreal.
19:23Hospitality.
19:24Decorating.
19:25Culinary arts.
19:27Fiber arts.
19:28Like embroidery.
19:29Lace making.
19:31You can make a tablecloth.
19:33If you dare.
19:35And scripture class.
19:36Praise please, word.
19:40Weirdo.
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.
20:10To 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.
20:32This 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?
20:48Yes, Aunt Madala.
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, Aunt Madala.
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.
21:27Girls, you may socialize.
21:45What is all this, then?
21:47This is Daisy.
21:49Aunt 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.
22:17Hmm.
22:18Daisy.
22:19Pray.
22:20Where do you hail from?
22:22Toronto.
22:24Canada.
22:25Miss.
22:26Shunami.
22:28That's a beautiful name.
22:30It is.
22:34I 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.
23:24I'm sort of an expert.
23:26Aunt Lydia urged me to stay with Miss Agnes.
23:28Ice cream is definitely one of his miracles.
23:31And you wouldn't want to insult God.
23:37You should get some.
23:39Come on.
23:56They stuck you with the pearl girl.
23:58What did you do wrong?
23:59She didn't do anything.
24:01This is unprecedented.
24:03So what did it Lydia said?
24:05She said she's new here.
24:08I'm just supposed to be a shepherdess.
24:09I don't like her.
24:10She didn't seem very nice.
24:11Well, you can't trust her.
24:13She'll tell Aunt Lydia everything.
24:14She's a pearl girl.
24:17Becca?
24:18Your Martha is here to collect you.
24:21Yes, 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.
24:45Pray.
24:46Come along.
24:46Shake a leg.
24:48Go with Grace.
24:51In Grace I go.
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 can see you.
25:39She's already lunged.
25:48Yeah.
25:59She's still in love with me.
26:01She's still in love with you.
26:07You're so hungry.
26:10God never sends us more than we can bear
26:13Sometimes we just 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
26:49She could marry one who
26:52Doesn'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
27:08We met in a bookstore
27:12Almost everyone we knew then was meeting online on Tinder
27:15Bumble
27:18We met in the cookbook section
27:21That's Tinder
27:24That's not something you're ever going to need to know, Pumpkin
27:29Blessed 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 and my father would shoot it
28:09It was hard
28:12But it was the merciful thing to do
28:15Haven't I told you that story?
28:18No, mother
28:19I learned that sometimes you have to be hard
28:29Sometimes you have to cut off weak branches
28:31And bothersome ones
28:35You'll understand when you're running your own household
28:40Blessed evening
29:06Blessed evening
29:11Blessed evening
29:39Lovely time, my plums
29:40Two lines
29:41Two lines
29:44Posture
29:44Agnes
29:45I'm sorry, Apadala
29:53Plums, please assemble in the dining hall
29:55Hurry along
29:56Kings, to your classes
29:57Cha-cha
29:59unions
30:00вопрос
30:02Kitty, my foot

30:03Mira
30:03Maybe
30:04Put my finger on this
30:12They weren't
30:13I'm sorry inside this
30:15No, just
30:18You always
30:19Are why
30:19For me
30:24what
30:24It isusive
30:26outside this
30:49What was the day?
30:51How was it?
30:52May the Lord open.
30:54Fine.
30:56Shut up.
30:57It was fine.
30:59I feel like Buffy's leaves.
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, that's what I'll take.
31:36Oh, someone's in trouble.
31:39Good.
31:40He's the gross one.
31:41This man is a sinner, hidden amongst us.
31:46He was found touching himself, abusing himself, on school grounds.
31:52Gilead trusted him to protect you, God's most precious girls.
31:58Instead, he chose wickedness.
32:01We do not play with the power of creation.
32:04What are they going to do to him?
32:07Quiet.
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.
32:20Now, this 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?
32:35Or should we pay?
32:38Quiet!
32:40Quiet!
32:41Quiet!
32:42Quiet!
32:45Quiet!
32:47Quiet!
32:49Quiet!
32:50Quiet!
32:51Quiet!
32:52Quiet!
32:53Quiet!
33:04Quiet!
33:05I am so proud of the women you are becoming!
33:10Quiet!
33:12Quiet!
33:19Quiet!
33:21Quiet!
33:26Oh, my God.
33:29Hey, what are you doing?
33:32Hey, what are you doing?
33:32Hey, what are you doing?
33:36Don't do it! Don't do it!
33:39Oh, my God.
33:41Craig, are you okay?
33:43I'm fine.
33:45Great spirit concerns.
33:47I'm sorry.
33:51Oh, my God.
33:52Oh, my God.
34:09Daisy? Daisy?
34:14Fuck. What the fuck was that?
34:17They broke the rules.
34:19They 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. Don't tell.
34:39Oh, sweetie.
34:41Agnes, help Daisy get cleaned up.
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.
35:48Agnes, there's 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.
36:38If it's God's will.
36:40I 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.
37:24Beyond's, not so much sometimes.
37:29Are 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.
38:18You can frame your talents.
38:22Super generations.
38:22But don't you don't have to.
38:22I don't have to.
38:22He's lifting it.
38:26And that's why I hear you.
38:26Good night.
38:27Bye.
39:27And remember, folks, don't let the bastards cry.
39:33Red Dog, Green House, White Barn, you have packages waiting.
39:37If you're in the Paperclip Club, sit tight.
39:40That's it for tonight.
40:13Oh, my life's changing every day.
40:28Oh, my life's changing never quite as it seems, never quite as it seems.
40:42Oh, my life's changing never quite as it seems.
40:58Oh, my life's changing never quite as it seems.
41:14Oh, my life's changing never quite as it seems.
41:33It was still cold, but I remember the nights were getting shorter.
41:38The shorebirds were back.
41:39You could hear them really high up.
41:42A sure sign of spring.
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.
42:01It was when I became eligible.
42:05And when I met Daisy,
42:08it was when it all started.
42:12It was when it all started.
42:14To the amazing morning
42:16Your understanding at the right
42:20With everything to me
42:28Oh, my life's changing every day
42:36In every possible way
42:39Oh, my life's changing every day
42:48In every possible way
42:51Cause you're a dream to me
42:54Dream to me
43:22Oh, my life's changing every day
43:25Oh, my life's changing always quite as you
43:25Oh, my life's changing every day
