00:00Thank you, Mother.
00:02Predestined to marry high Gilead commanders, which only happened if God blessed us with a period.
00:07You're insane. The skirt looks fine.
00:09Even God knows Paula has no taste.
00:11Then, we became greens.
00:12I wish I was green this season.
00:14I wish we all were together.
00:16It's starting to move very, very fast.
00:19It's a dress. Not a husband.
00:21Not yet.
00:23White was for the pro-girls.
00:24They were new arrivals from outside of Gilead.
00:27Weirdos.
00:28This is Daisy.
00:29Daisy, I'd like you to show her around.
00:31Make her feel comfortable.
00:33May the Lord open.
00:35You may socialize.
00:40What is all this, then?
00:41This is Daisy.
00:42It's a blessing to move you all.
00:44They stuck you with the pro-girl. What did you do?
00:46She didn't do anything.
00:48Well, you can't trust her.
00:49It's time to pull up and get her before she gets here.
00:52Shame upon any of you that tempt a man.
00:55Daisy.
00:59Jesus Christ, I was fucking wide awake.
01:01I am so sorry.
01:03I committed blasphemy.
01:05I think great.
01:06Shunemite said,
01:07You should never, ever trust a pro-girl.
01:08But that was exactly what I did.
01:10It was when I became eligible.
01:12And when I met Daisy,
01:13it was when it all started.
01:30The aunts told us lots of girls never blossom because they're disobedient and prideful.
01:35And those girls are worthless to God.
01:37Getting your period was like a stamp of approval from God himself.
01:42I was one of the chosen ones.
01:45Me.
01:47Why me?
01:50There was a chance I'd be able to conceive.
01:53I was supposed to be ecstatic.
01:54And I was.
01:57But I was also scared to death.
02:00It's hard to tell one from the other sometimes.
02:17Blessed morning.
02:23Rosa?
02:27Rosa?
02:39What on earth are you doing sculping around?
02:43Blessed morning, Mother.
02:46Going out for a morning ride?
02:49It's too early for your manipulative nonsense.
02:51What are you doing?
02:59Mother, as he blessed Ruth and Leah,
03:01he has blessed me this day.
03:04As he answered the prayers of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca,
03:07he has saved me from barrenness.
03:10By his hand, he will make me fruitful.
03:18Blessed be his miracle.
03:22Wait for me in the parlor.
03:30When Becca got her period,
03:31her mom was so happy,
03:32she started laughing and crying at the same time.
03:35I doubt Paula has ever cried.
03:37Or laughed.
03:38We're not telling fibs now, are we?
03:41You know the aunts will do their inspection.
03:44No.
03:45I wouldn't.
03:50Welcome to the sacred calling of woman.
03:54There's a lot of tedious bother to the whole enterprise.
03:59These are called wings.
04:00They go beneath your underpants and snap shut.
04:03Like this, yes?
04:05Change the pads every few hours.
04:07Cleanliness is godliness, especially so on those days.
04:09You should never smell it on yourself.
04:11Understood?
04:12Yes, ma'am.
04:18I was scared my first time, too.
04:21Thank you for your help.
04:25It's a woman's duty to pass on this kind of wisdom.
04:30Of course, no one bothered to do it for me.
04:42Tabitha made this for you before she passed.
04:48It's a cover for your pad.
05:07As I was walking along the forest, I came upon an enchanted castle.
05:16I saw inside there were all these little girls locked up.
05:19Sweet, godly girls.
05:23They were all under the spell of wicked witches.
05:27Luckily, I had a magic ring.
05:29But the ring only had the power to save one little girl.
05:33So I looked at all of them very carefully.
05:36And out of the whole bunch, I chose you.
05:39Is that how I'll get a baby?
05:44No, me too, sweetheart.
05:47You are going to have a baby grow inside your tummy.
06:00Blessed morning.
06:03Agnes has blossomed.
06:06Praise be his mercy.
06:08How do you feel?
06:11A little sick to my stomach.
06:14It's a blessing to feel your body's miracle.
06:19Agnes will have some appointments now that she's eligible.
06:22Yes, ma'am.
06:22There's the new doctor, of course.
06:24And the proper tailor.
06:26And I'll enlist Dr. Grove for the teeth whitening.
06:29We need to make her as appealing as possible.
06:31Yes, ma'am.
06:32Congrats, Agnes.
06:40I prayed so hard.
06:43How about some coffee?
06:45Isn't that what women drink?
06:47Yes, please.
06:51Completely obvious.
06:53I'm walking weird.
06:55You're perfect.
06:59You're filled with his divine light.
07:03And then, a husband.
07:07Yes.
07:08We pray a kind one.
07:16A real young woman.
07:18Your mother would be so proud of you.
07:22Rosa took care of Tabitha when she was dying.
07:27She sat next to her bed and fed her ice cubes.
07:37Under his eye, sweetie pie.
07:39Under his eye, Rosa.
07:43Would people notice the difference?
07:46That I was a woman now?
07:49Was it something you could sense?
07:51Like a wild animal in the grass?
07:54Or smell?
07:55Like the air before a storm?
07:59What's a day?
08:00Like a guardian walking past you in the summer heat.
08:20I'm lying.
08:21I'm lying.
08:23He set my feet on a rock and gave me a third place to stand.
08:27I'll die.
08:40Blessed day, Miss Agnes.
08:41Blessed day.
08:42Have you seen Becca?
08:43No, I'm sorry.
08:44I was praying while I waited for you.
08:46You don't have to do that.
08:46Just go inside like a normal person.
08:48Where are you going?
08:49Curiosity got you kicked out of the garden.
08:52But Aunt Lydia said I should stay with you.
08:55You can't come.
08:58Is this about yesterday?
09:07Aunt Gabbana?
09:40Thanks, Professor.
09:43Kevin, I'm sorry.
09:44I'm sorry.
09:44I'm sorry.
09:45I'm sorry.
09:47That was a bad thing.
09:50I was sorry.
09:51No, no, no.
10:02Oh, blessed day, girls, up, up, let's go!
10:13Girls, up, up, someone's getting lost.
10:16Come, let's go!
10:26Come, let's go!
10:56Come, let's go!
10:58Come, let's go!
11:08Come, let's go!
11:10Come, let's go!
11:12Come, let's go!
11:12Come, let's go!
11:13Come, let's go!
11:14Come, let's go!
11:14Come, let's go!
11:16Agnes Mackenzie, what a day this is.
11:21Aunt Vidala, as he blessed Ruth and Leah, he has blessed me this day.
11:25As he answered the prayers of Sarah and Rachel and Rebecca, he has saved me from barrenness.
11:31By his hand, he will make me fruitful.
11:34Praise be his mercy.
11:43Your blessing is a blessing upon us all.
11:53One of your own has been touched by his divine hand, girls.
11:56Praise be.
11:58Praise be, guys!
12:01Praise be, guys!
12:24Are you all soaked?
12:27No, not yet.
12:30Cool.
12:31You're so blessed.
12:34Well green means more work and dancing in public and Agnes hates dancing in front of people.
12:39That could be a nightmare.
12:40Shut up, Sue.
12:42Who crawled into your tights?
12:45I'm sure you'll be next.
12:48My breasts have been feeling pretty sore.
12:51They look bigger, don't they?
12:53My father always said I was blessed in that department.
12:58Beck, I can't ask Paul if I can come to your house today.
13:02I can say it's for green stuff.
13:04Up, girls!
13:04I have another fitting.
13:07Up, up, quick.
13:07Check your tail feathers.
13:10We need you in corrections.
13:13Come.
13:14Pearl girl needs your guidance.
13:15On your special day?
13:17What a drag.
13:20Corrections were done in this upper part of the school.
13:23The aunt's wing.
13:25This room reeked of the aunt's.
13:27What did she do?
13:28I don't know.
13:29It smelled like boiled wool in sweat.
13:32It smelled of certainty.
13:33If certainty had a smell.
13:36This young woman made a confession this morning.
13:40She has admitted to using the Lord's name in vain.
13:46Agnes.
13:49Aunt Lydia trusted you to guide this girl as you would your own child.
13:54I'm sorry, Aunt Fidala.
13:57You have been blessed with womanhood today.
14:01Is that a challenge you are ready for?
14:04Yes, Aunt Fidala.
14:05Then show me.
14:07Teach your strained lamb.
14:09Get up!
14:11Don't lounge around while defending his name.
14:18What must a sinner do?
14:23Hey, Aunt Fidala.
14:26She must pay for her sins, Aunt Fidala.
14:28Pay for her sins!
14:29Pay for her sins!
14:31Tell her what she is, Agnes.
14:33Kindness.
14:34Dirty words come from what?
14:39A dirty girl.
14:43Corrections was our time to unleash.
14:46And we devoured it.
14:48Dirty girl. Dirty girl. Dirty girl. Dirty girl. Dirty girl.
14:50I'm ashamed of how much I miss it.
14:51Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl!
15:02Whose fault is this?
15:04We understood power in rage.
15:07Teenage girls appreciate rage.
15:09In Gilead, as elsewhere.
15:11You are nothing.
15:13You're a slut from the streets of Sodom.
15:15A child of sinners!
15:17She was there!
15:18Have you heard my blasphemy?
15:20I swear to God.
15:21I swear to God.
15:51All right, friends.
15:52Time for cake.
16:04Open.
16:09A vessel unclean has no use in the service of the Lord.
16:19God wants you to put your shoulder into it, Agnes.
16:23I expected more from you on your special day.
16:28Now clean up and get to class.
16:41Oh, that soap is disgusting.
16:49I heard the Marthas used rendered cow fat and fireplace ashes.
16:57By his mercy, at least Aunt Gabbana spared our tongues.
17:02I've taught you how to stay silent.
17:04Agnes, I had to confess my sins.
17:08I made a commitment to God.
17:10To be a good pearl girl.
17:11Oh, congratulations.
17:12You're being a perfect little pearl girl.
17:14I didn't mean to rat you out.
17:16But when you got all up in my face, it was a lot.
17:19Corrections are a lot for you.
17:21Assembly is a lot for you.
17:22Maybe serving God is just too much for you.
17:24I really am sorry.
17:26Why did you come here?
17:29Why don't you just go back home?
17:33Not everyone has a home to go back to.
17:38Some people have crappy lives.
17:41A princess wouldn't get it.
17:47Vice Grace, I was granted a fresh start here in Gilead.
17:58Please give me a chance.
18:11And on this day of all days, I think you deserve every bit of punishment.
18:17Every bit.
18:18Do you agree?
18:20Yes.
18:20Thank you for coming, Mrs. Brighton.
18:22Please do say hello to the commander for me.
18:25While we see you, Mrs. McKenzie, Agnes will be just a moment.
18:28Praise be.
18:32There are changes happening in your body and more on the way.
18:35Your prefrontal cortex is still developing and all the estrogen pumping through your body will tempt you into impulsive decisions.
18:44Dangerous ones.
18:47Womanhood.
18:47Womanhood is a test, Agnes.
18:49Womanhood is a test, Agnes.
18:50A life-long test.
18:54The aunts didn't teach us science.
18:57My prefrontal cortex had no idea what Paula was talking about.
19:03Dr. Grove is ready for you, Agnes.
19:11I blinked and you girls grew up.
19:15Becca's gonna be thrilled you're agreeing now.
19:18I'm glad we're in it together.
19:20Mother, there's a lot on her mind today.
19:23Yeah, Becca's a worrywart.
19:24It's just how she is.
19:26Open.
19:31Well, praise be.
19:33Perfect teeth.
19:34Just perfect.
19:37You know, maybe you could help her through it all.
19:41She's less anxious around you.
19:43I mean, you've always been so mature for your age.
19:49Okay.
19:51Only an x-ray to go.
19:52Can I get a size 2 light wing, please?
20:03Now, I hope that this isn't too heavy for you.
20:11Imagine your breasts must be quite tender.
20:18It's not too heavy.
20:21Lovely.
20:23You know, you really are getting to be a big girl, Agnes.
20:36And that's that.
20:38Let's take some pictures.
20:40Excellent.
20:42Open.
20:47And bite.
20:48Perfect.
20:56Still as you can be.
21:20That's when I started having nightmares about my wedding night.
21:23About my husband.
21:27That's when I started having nightmares about my wedding night.
21:27I had a dark bedroom.
21:31And then a smell.
21:34And then he was in front of me.
21:35My husband.
21:38But he had no face.
21:41I tried to run away, but he always caught up with me.
21:45Wake up.
21:47Agnes?
21:49Not Lydia.
21:50Yes?
21:51It's time.
21:52Come along.
22:07It's a chilly night, dear.
22:34Come along, dear.
23:02We gather here tonight as this daughter of Gilead comes of age, seeking his divine protection.
23:12And she will need it, his protection.
23:15For being a woman on God's green earth is no easy feat.
23:22In you go, dear. Rub-a-dub-dub.
23:33But we needn't look so far back to see the suffering of women, do we?
23:38That's why Gilead was created.
23:42To bring women back to their rightful place.
23:52The world would be lost without you.
23:55Who can bring forth God's children?
23:57Who will populate this world so his divine presence can be multiplied?
24:05Who are you?
24:11You join your sisters now in this holy endeavor.
24:14I think for the army, we have to scatter gather together.
24:27There's disciplinary people.
24:27I'm a world- änders.
24:35I won't lie under you to even be.
24:41Please, thank you.
24:44I've got to run over you to the people.
24:44Yes, Mackenzie, jettison all that came before this moment
24:48and embrace your new role.
24:50May the generations born to your womb
24:53be worthy in his eyes.
24:56Blessed be the fruit.
24:58Blessed be the fruit.
25:02May the Lord open.
25:13A token of your passage.
25:16May he bless your new path.
25:18Under his eye.
25:21Under his eye.
25:31Wonderful.
25:33Thanks.
25:39Hi.
25:41Want some help?
25:45I thought I was going to drown in there.
25:48Me too.
25:50When I had my imagination,
25:53I feel like I'm still drowning.
25:57It's better that you're here.
26:02Praise be.
26:03Yeah.
26:05I thought you were mad.
26:10This was your season and I was ruining it.
26:15I thought you didn't want me to be a green.
26:22I didn't.
26:25I didn't.
26:26I didn't want this for either of us.
26:33I don't want to get married.
26:37I don't want a husband.
26:50But what else would you do?
26:55I don't know.
26:57I don't want to get married.
27:02Aunt Lydia said we get to leave everything behind.
27:08Everything that happened before tonight.
27:12Do you think that's real?
27:16What would you want to leave behind?
27:29It will be great.
27:32Pushing strollers together.
27:35No, Aunt's not following us around.
27:40That does sound nice.
27:43All will be well, Rebecca.
27:46All manner of things will be well.
27:52I'm freezing.
27:57Yeah.
27:58Come on.
28:00Let's go home.
28:23Okay.
28:23I'm off.
28:38Yeah.
28:52Let's go.
28:52I'm just 2 times.
31:32Blessed morning.
31:33Blessed morning.
31:43Pray you know smoking is not allowed, right?
31:49Yes, Miss Agnes.
31:52My apologies.
31:58Congratulations on your initiation.
32:08Better get inside, Miss Agnes.
32:19Sometimes you couldn't help but want to stop it.
32:22Even if you tried your best to stop it.
32:28But there is no point to it.
32:32All that wanting.
32:40Agnes, Agnes, finally.
32:42Agnes, finally.
32:47Your father is home.
32:48You'll be pleased to hear your development.
33:10You look so pretty this morning.
33:15He's in the parlor.
33:28He's in the parlor.
33:30With your temp control, then I think the transport is going to be fine.
33:33It's certainly vital.
33:35Blessed morning, Angel.
34:11Father, as he blessed Ruth and Leah, he has blessed me this day.
34:15As he answered the prayers of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca, he has saved me from barrenness.
34:21By his hand, he will make me fruitful.
34:25I know he will.
34:32Blessed be the fruit, Agnes.
34:34May the Lord open, Daddy.
34:38Going to the chapel and we're going to get married.
34:45Going to the chapel and we're going to get married.
34:53Gee, I really love you and we're going to get married.
35:00Going to the chapel of love.
35:07Spring is here.
35:10The sky is blue.
35:14Whoa.
35:15Birds are safe.
35:18Let's give pain new.
35:22Today's the day.
35:24We'll say, we'll say, I do, and we'll never be lonely anymore.
35:35Because we're going to the chapel and we're going to get married.
35:44Going to the chapel and we're going to get married.
35:51See, I really love you and we're going to get married.
35:58Going to the chapel of love.
36:02Boys are tough.
36:03More than two of those, you'll have a prostrate.
36:03Go.
36:03Go.
36:03Ugh.
36:03Oh.
36:04Oh.
36:05Oh.
