00:01Blessed day, Aunt Lydia.
00:03Previously on the Testaments.
00:04Do you know why this statue was erected?
00:07So you can always be watching over us?
00:09Yes.
00:10We inspire the world with our good works, Agnes.
00:13Can you feel the baby kicking yet?
00:15I can't wait.
00:15You're so much further along than last time.
00:17Hold up!
00:18Your work with these girls is truly a triumph.
00:21They're magnificent!
00:23Somewhere out there is your future husband.
00:26Tonight you'll meet him.
00:27Excuse me, Miss McKenzie, I'm being called away.
00:29You could take my place with the young lady.
00:31Garth was becoming a commander.
00:33And if he were a commander, he could be mine.
00:36Do not let them get my girls drunk.
00:38I'll have a word with them.
00:40Why don't we get a refreshment?
00:42Shoot, I think I'm gonna be sick.
00:44She's drunk.
00:46It's a shame a girl with such promise.
00:49Throw it all away.
00:50As he blessed Ruth and Leah, he is blessed to be the same.
00:54By his hand, may he make me fruitful.
00:56Praise be.
00:58I trust your expectations were met?
01:01Hardly.
01:02I saw more than one girl plied with drinks.
01:05You failed.
01:07How was I supposed-
01:08You still have much to prove.
01:11Well, I have a dollar.
01:12I think maybe the time's come for you and I to discuss our vision of the future.
01:15Always the door.
01:18Yes, I would love it.
01:20Excuse me, Commander.
01:46All right, girls.
01:47How are you all?
01:54In my own present day, I am an object of curiosity.
01:59Not to the world outside of Gilead.
02:02To these girls.
02:03Oh, no.
02:06No.
02:23No.
02:26Do you.
02:27Do you stop pacing?
02:27You're making me nervous.
02:28Chill.
02:29How?
02:30Why?
02:32What's going on?
02:33The aunts decide our contenders today.
02:36Two to three suitors each, usually.
02:38Then house visits.
02:38Then weddings.
02:39Then prison for the rest of our lives.
02:42Don't say that.
02:44Why not?
02:47Whatever, it's in God's hands now.
02:49Or the aunts.
02:50Is there a difference?
02:59It's in God's hands now.
03:43Let's begin, shall we?
03:45Jehoshabah wants power.
03:47Huldah, security.
03:48But Agnes, well, I'm not sure what she wants.
03:52Not yet.
03:54Their fates are in my mortal hands.
03:56An unmarried woman picking husbands for each girl who passes through these halls.
04:02The irony is not lost on me.
04:06School canceled again, I take it.
04:08This is the fourth time this month.
04:11Fine by me.
04:12My classroom's a mess.
04:13I could use a day to clean it up.
04:20Who's turn was it to replace the coffee?
04:22Vivian's.
04:23And Vivian is where?
04:27You're late.
04:28Did you bring some coffee?
04:30Something's happening.
04:31There are some men outside.
04:33They're armed.
04:34That's weird.
04:35Keith, they want to talk to you.
04:37To me?
04:38Mm-hmm.
04:41Okay.
04:44What's happening?
04:55What's happening?
05:01Oh, my God.
05:03Oh, my God.
05:04Oh, my God.
05:05Oh, my God.
05:32Please remove any items, jewelry, cell phone, whatever's on your person, handbags, everything
05:42into the containers.
05:50Don't worry, ma'am, you've got your belongings back, sir.
06:00Let's go, let's go.
06:02Come on.
06:03Hey, don't touch me.
06:16Susan Snyder.
06:19You're the pregnant one.
06:22No husband, right?
06:25I have a partner.
06:27Take her to the box store.
06:28Excuse me.
06:30Where are you?
06:30There's nothing you can do.
06:32Come with me.
06:35What is going on?
06:37What's he doing?
06:38Just because she's pregnant?
06:40That doesn't make any sense at all.
06:45It quickly became clear there had been a coup, a forced change of leadership, the first
06:53of many to come.
06:54What would transpire next, none of us knew.
06:58What are they doing with that?
07:16Sinners are always visible to the divine eye.
07:20The sins of these women have found them out.
07:26Oh, no.
07:27Closer up, closer up.
07:29By his hand.
07:33Get down!
07:36Put you down your seats!
07:38Oh, my God!
07:40Get down, get down.
07:42Get down, get down.
07:43Get down, get down.
07:44Get down, get down, get down.
07:52Commander Maddox has expressed interest in Becca.
07:55That's promising.
07:57Commander Maddox is the man who gave alcohol to Becca at the ball.
08:01And you intend to reward his terrible behavior?
08:06It's left Becca without any other options.
08:09Unfortunately, such a public...
08:11But Donald, perhaps you should administer to Hulda.
08:13She still needs to be certified.
08:37I'm ready.
08:38I'm ready.
08:46Please come in.
08:49Must it be the fruit, Aunt Vidala?
08:51Yes, yes.
08:52Pull down your undergarments and have a seat.
08:54I'm ready.
08:56Come on.
08:59Come on.
09:03Come on.
09:04Come on.
09:10Come on.
09:14Come on.
09:17Come on.
09:20Come on.
09:35I'm so happy for you.
10:14Where are they taking them?
10:16No, no, no.
10:17Come with me.
10:17Fuck if I know.
10:31My mother still isn't speaking to me.
10:34Not since what happened at the ball.
10:36That wasn't your fault.
10:38Who cares?
10:39What if she winds up with a commander from the colonies?
10:42Then I wind up with a commander from the colonies.
10:45Becca, do you know that some of your friends put themselves in jeopardy trying to save your reputation?
10:52From wicked girls.
10:55Jealous prune.
10:57What did she just call you?
10:59Prune.
11:01You know, like a plum that never turns green.
11:15Girls, good news.
11:18Our dear Holda has been touched by his divine hand.
11:23She is officially a green and thus eligible this season.
11:27You may celebrate.
11:32That's enough.
11:34Now, Holda, God has provided you the opportunity to step into your womanhood with an important lesson.
11:45What do you think the punishment ought to be for a girl who uses violence upon another girl?
12:00Such a girl ought to have her hands bound and whipped.
12:10Very well.
12:25Hold on.
12:27Hold Chunamite's arms down on the dusk.
12:35Hold on.
12:39Hold on.
12:40Hold on.
12:46Hold on.
13:14Teaching these girls was like a recipe for a tough steak. Hammer it with a mallet, then
13:21marinate and tenderize. I had seen the books before, on myself and other women.
13:58Some wolfed and guzzled, but I made my portion last as long as possible. Chewing and swallowing
14:05distracts from mental wheel spinning. Also, it passes the time.
14:15Get up! Get up!
14:31It's okay.
14:52I'm sorry.
14:55About what?
14:59The coffee. I forgot it was my turn. What I wouldn't do for a cup of coffee right now.
15:08With milk. Warm milk.
15:25You are a damn fine teacher, Lydia. Thank you. So are you.
15:49Here, pass it down. One bottle each. Pass it around.
16:02One bottle.
16:08Pass it over here.
16:25I'm sorry about your friend. I'm sorry too.
16:37I learned quickly that having friends in Gilead was a liability. It would only bring pain and
16:44suffering. I've tried to pass this lesson along to my girls. First my handmaids, then my precious
16:52flowers. But it doesn't always stick.
16:56Rachel, what is it?
16:58Rachel, what is it?
16:59I've tried to put a lot of things up so fast.
17:06Rachel, how are your hands?
17:08Fine.
17:10I slept Jehoshua on the self right now. I think maybe you guys should cool it on this laughing
17:16for a while. I heard some news from the nurse's office. Penny's gone into labor. That's awesome.
17:28No, Hilda. It's too early. Right? This is her third pregnancy. The others ended.
17:45Dear Lord, watch over our friend Penny and her baby. Keep them safe. Offer them strength,
17:51healing and hope. Amen. Amen.
18:03Help! No! Let go of me! Let go! No! No!
18:26Hey, shut the sign. He's coming through. Oh my god.
18:44Misogynists who openly disdain women, one needn't fear them. But the men who understand the power of the
18:51women who want to control it instead of deny it, there is no one more terrifying.
18:59I can sit by myself. God.
19:03Good evening. Or good morning. I've lost track. I'm Commander Judd of the Sons of Jacob. And I've been tasked
19:13with the so-called women's sphere that is determining where each of you shall be placed in this new order.
19:18What order? They haven't told us anything.
19:29Fifty-eight.
19:31You mean my age? Yes.
19:33Never married.
19:35No. Does that matter?
19:42You had an abortion.
19:47I was very young.
19:51You're aware that this form of person murder is now punishable by death? And that the lie is retroactive?
19:59Well, I love children. That's why I wanted to teach.
20:03Ah, yes. Women have been told for so long that they can achieve equality in the professional and public arenas.
20:09I don't expect them to welcome the segregation. But they will have to adjust.
20:15It is God's will, after all.
20:18Surviving these men requires patience.
20:22And allies.
20:24Wherever you can find them.
20:29Well, I for one commend the work you are doing.
20:34You would be surprised how many women have said that same thing sitting in that chair.
20:38Hoping to improve their outcomes.
20:42I do have a suggestion.
20:45One that might improve your own outcome.
20:51What is it that you suggest?
20:56If you believe society is best served by separate spheres for men and women, shouldn't they be truly separate?
21:05Surely you have better things to do than concern yourself with the petty details of all of this.
21:12Who is going to teach the girls to be women?
21:16And the women should be better women. Women of God.
21:21Delegation is but one of his many virtues.
21:32Have there been any inquiries?
21:34No. But what if someone inquires about Agnes Mackenzie's lineage?
21:39She's the daughter of a handmaid. There's nothing shameful in that.
21:43Not just any handmaid.
21:45We are not here to judge.
21:48Let that be God's province.
21:50Our job is to prevent the possibility of inbreeding so the children of Gilead may thrive.
21:56Are we all in concert?
21:58Rowing together now?
22:04Blessed day.
22:05Blessed day, Commander Judd. What an unexpected surprise.
22:10Ah.
22:13Is there something I can help you with?
22:17With the new offensive against May Day, some of our commanders have been shuttled to the front.
22:25So, these men should be taken out of the running until next season.
22:31Thank you, Commander. Your guidance is essential as we match our girls.
22:39Commander, how is your dear wife? I hear she's experiencing complications.
22:45It's hard to be at home watching it all unfold.
22:50Come now. There's no need to distract yourself with these women's issues. Rest your mind.
22:57Yes. Perhaps you're right, Aunt Lydia.
23:04I will handle this. After all these years, don't you trust me?
23:17Attention, girls. Physical education will conclude at two bells.
23:21Do not forget to stretch after exerting...
23:2448, 49, 50.
23:28Okay. Agnes, it's your turn.
23:32Agnes.
23:34Sorry, I was distracted.
23:36No kidding. This sucks.
23:38In a few weeks, you'll all be gone and I'll still be here by myself.
23:42I didn't mean to get my period.
23:44Who cares? Who wants to get married anyway?
23:50Hey, Becca, you're kind of going off the deep end.
23:53After what happened at the ball, you should be throwing yourself at the mercy of Aunt Lydia.
23:58Maybe I'll get lucky and I won't get any offers.
24:00Then I can stay here with you, Shu.
24:02What is wrong with you? This is our whole lives. Some people would give anything for the right match.
24:09What?
24:11Ag... Agnes.
24:15Agnes.
24:16Agnes.
24:16Agnes.
24:18Agnes.
24:26Agnes.
24:41Agnes.
24:43Agnes.
24:45my guardian.
24:50How do you know
24:52that you're in love with him?
24:58Anytime I'm near him,
24:59I feel hot.
25:01My skin, like my cheeks.
25:04And then in my belly.
25:08Have you ever felt that way before?
25:13No.
25:15But I'm happy for you.
25:19He's not even eligible.
25:24True, but
25:27at least you can feel this way once.
25:29Right?
25:32No matter what, that's a blessing.
25:47Agnes McKenzie,
25:49shouldn't you be on your way to class?
25:53Yes, Aunt Lydia.
25:55Can I help you with something?
26:07Yes, Aunt Lydia.
26:09Maybe.
26:11I have a question or a request.
26:15A request?
26:16Very respectfully, Aunt Lydia.
26:18Very.
26:20All right, then.
26:27My guardian,
26:28the one who showed bravery
26:29on the bus that day
26:30when made a...
26:31I am aware.
26:32He's soon to be made a commander.
26:35I thought perhaps
26:36you might make him eligible
26:39this season.
26:40Maybe God protected him
26:42for that reason.
26:50I shall think the matter over.
26:54Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
26:56For your graciousness.
26:58Praise be.
26:59Now get to class.
27:01Late girls are difficult girls.
27:04Go in grace.
27:11This is the last day of childhood
27:14for these girls.
27:17Innocence can be lost
27:19in so many ways.
27:49Innocence can be lost in so many ways.
28:03It's fun.
28:05It's...
28:06It's fresh.
28:09Now,
28:10if you are to join our cause,
28:13you'll have to prove you mean it.
28:16Are you prepared to do that?
28:18Yes.
28:28No, no, no, no.
28:31Please, please.
28:32I beg of you.
28:34I can't.
28:35No, no, no, no.
28:36Please.
28:37Let me just say this.
28:38Those who are not with us
28:40are against us.
28:45So which is it to be?
28:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
29:02no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
29:05no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
29:33Please, God, help me.
29:42Help me.
29:47Please.
29:49Please.
29:49Please.
29:51Please.
29:54Please.
29:55Please.
29:56Help me.
30:15Help me.
30:20Sinners are always visible to the divine eye.
30:24The sins of these women have found them out.
30:57Whatever my resolve may have been, after some days, I lost track of that plotline.
31:03The plotline of my resolve.
31:07Now, I was following the plotline of my survival.
31:12Please, I don't want to die.
31:15Please, please, I don't want to die.
31:18I want to die, please.
31:19Lydia, don't.
31:20Please.
31:26By his hands.
31:28By his hands.
31:29By his hands.
31:55By his hands.
32:20Holt has been settled.
32:22Only a few open slots left.
32:25Which commanders remain?
32:28I have another one to add to the mix.
32:30Garth Chapin.
32:34The Guardian.
32:35He's not eligible.
32:37He will be, soon enough.
32:39Yes, and other commanders have been serving Gilead far longer.
32:43As you know, men serve Gilead in myriad ways.
33:00Well, come on now.
33:01Spit it out.
33:19I trust you heard the news.
33:22Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, for he does not willingly bring affliction to anyone.
33:30Praise be his words.
33:45Is it time to reconsider a handmaid?
33:50It isn't your domain anymore.
33:52I can still arrange one for you.
33:54Between friends, of course.
33:58Not yet.
34:00When you are ready, you know you can count on me.
34:05In so many ways, dear Aunt Lydia.
34:11Your price is above rubies.
34:15Praise be.
34:17Praise be.
34:31Was I a phoenix, rising from the ashes?
34:35Or was I a cockroach?
34:37I wasn't sure anymore.
34:39But I was alive.
34:41Miss Clements, come in.
34:48We must construct a uniform for our new disciples.
34:52Your new disciples.
34:55Mine.
34:57I thought you might enjoy the privilege of weighing in.
35:19This one.
35:23It's a little rough.
35:26Might not be the most comfortable to the touch.
35:29No.
35:30I don't imagine it will be.
35:38My biggest gripe with the old world was the emphasis on comfort.
35:43Ease.
35:44Convenience.
35:45We had all become entitled little brats.
35:58Penny's child is with God now.
36:00Blessed are those that mourn.
36:03For they shall be comforted.
36:10How quickly people forget that nothing good comes without a little grinding down of the tooth.
36:18For a seedling must fight its way through the dirt to meet the sun.
36:30Hold on.
36:31I made this for you.
36:34Really?
36:35No.
36:36I made it for myself.
36:37For good luck.
36:38But as you wait for your contenders, I thought you might need it.
36:41Just don't worry about all the good luck.
36:46Well, that's me.
36:47I have my first green appointment today with a tailor.
36:50And then soon your dad to get my teeth whitened.
36:52Bye.
37:13Blessed day, Ms. Agnes.
37:17See you tomorrow.
37:20See you.
37:35The Lord has challenged us today, hasn't he?
37:38I pray we are worthy of his gifts.
37:41Even if they don't seem like gifts at first.
37:45I know his aunts aren't always generous with praise, but it's worth mentioning you've been
37:50an exemplary pearl girl today and all the days.
37:54I'm grateful for the chance to serve, especially after my previous indiscretions.
38:00It takes time to adjust to the ways of Gilead.
38:03I made mistakes, too.
38:06You're not from Gilead?
38:10Where are you from?
38:12Well, we're all of the same earth, dust to dust.
38:16But how did you end up in Gilead?
38:18How did you become an aunt?
38:21Well, dear, you need to have a calling.
38:24I heard mine, and I answered.
38:27I guess you could say I was the original pearl girl.
38:34I'll take it from here.
38:43We've checked all the bloodlines.
38:46Our matches are as clean as a wooden whistle.
38:51Yes, I'm with you.
38:52I believe a celebration is in order.
38:55Each season brings its own obstacle, and this season has been particularly stimulating.
39:01May our greens move forward into holy matrimony, as God intended.
39:08Blessed be the fruit.
39:10May the Lord open.
39:18It is now time to tell the girls' families.
39:23Oh, what delicious news they shall receive.
39:58We have done our best to teach these girls.
40:02To prepare them.
40:04But what they don't know yet is that life is long.
40:09The real brutality is when it asks you to endure.
40:13Knowing what you have done, and what has been done while you stood by.
40:18But what choice do we have?
40:22Enduring is the only way through.
40:27I control the women's side of their enterprise, with an iron fist, in a leather glove, in a woolen mitten.
40:36I made a promise to teach these girls to be women.
40:41Women of God.
40:54I made another promise.
40:58After what happened to my girls at Jezebel's, after Boston fell,
41:02after the sting of the noose around my neck began to wear off,
41:06I vowed to document everything.
41:09And everyone.
41:12Yes, aunts were afforded the special privilege of being allowed to write.
41:17The only women in Gilead who could.
41:21But what was I writing?
41:23Recording the crimes of weak men and far too many women?
41:28That was not allowed.
41:30That could bring down these men, chosen by God, to lead us.
42:03That could bring down these men, chosen by God, to lead us.
42:09The corrupt and blood-smeared fingerprints of the past
42:12must be wiped away for the morally pure generation that is surely about to arrive.
42:19But among these bloody fingerprints are those made by ourselves,

42:32because I'm not sure I can.
