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.
02:05to the home.
02:08Yes.
02:19To the house.
02:26Would you stop pacing? You'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, then 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?
02:53Oh, my God.
03:39I'm not sure what she wants.
03:52Not yet.
03:54Their fates are in my mortal hands.
03:57An 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?
04:47What's happening?
04:49What's happening?
05:01Oh, my God.
05:03Oh, my God.
05:32Please remove any items, jewelry, cell phone, whatever's on your person, handbags, everything into the containers.
05:50Don't worry, ma'am. We'll get your belongings back soon.
05:59Let's go, let's go.
06:02Oh, God.
06:03Hey.
06:05Don'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.
06:29Excuse 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.
06:45It quickly became clear there had been a coup, a forced change of leadership, the first of many to come.
06:54What would transpire next, none of us knew.
06:58What is this?
06:58What are they doing with that?
07:00What's going on?
07:02What the fuck are you going to do today?
07:04Get down!
07:05Get down!
07:10Get down!
07:13Get down!
07:15Get down!
07:16sinners are always visible to the divine eye the sins of these women have found
07:24them out by his hand
07:52commander Maddox has expressed interest in Becca that's promising commander Maddox is the man
07:59who gave alcohol to Becca at the ball and you intend to reward his terrible behavior
08:06it's left Becca without any other options unfortunately such a public perhaps you
08:11should administer to Hulda she still needs to be certified
08:38bring her in
08:45I'm ready please come in
08:49what's it be the fruit Aunt Vidala yes yes pull down your undergarments and have a seat
09:00it
09:23Let's go.
09:35I'm so happy for you.
10:15I'm so happy for you.
10:18I'm so happy for you.
10:45Becca, do you know that some of your friends put themselves in jeopardy trying to save your reputation?
10:52From wicked girls.
10:54Jealous 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.
12:09Very well.
12:11Very well.
12:25Hold on.
12:27Hold Chunamite's arms down on the dusk.
12:46Hold up.
12:47Hold on.
13:14Teaching these girls was like a recipe for a tough steak.
13:19Hammer it with a mallet, then marinate and tenderize.
13:28I had seen it once before, on myself and other women.
13:36Get up!
13:40Move!
13:43One and one takes one.
13:45Take this and pass it down the line.
13:49One slice.
13:58Some wolfed and guzzled.
14:00But I made my portion last as long as possible.
14:04Chewing and swallowing distracts from mental wheel spinning.
14:07Also, it passes the time.
14:14Get up!
14:17Get up!
14:17Get up!
14:17I'm not!
14:18I'm not!
14:21I'm sorry!
14:22I'm sorry!
14:23I'm sorry!
14:31It's okay.
14:55About what?
14:59The coffee.
15:01I forgot it was my turn.
15:05What I wouldn't do for a cup of coffee right now.
15:09With milk.
15:12With milk.
15:13Warm milk.
15:14Warm milk.
15:25You're a damn fine teacher, Lydia.
15:34So are you.
15:49Here, pass it down.
15:51One bottle each.
15:54Here, pass it around.
16:04Here.
16:06Here.
16:08Pass it over here.
16:11First slice.
16:15One bottle.
16:18If you want to go, let me go.
16:20Let me go.
16:22Nice and count.
16:23Bye bye.
16:24Can you hear me?
16:24I'm sorry about your friend.
16:30I'm sorry, too.
16:37I learned quickly that having friends in Gilead was a liability.
16:42It would only bring pain and suffering.
16:45I've tried to pass this lesson along to my girls.
16:49First, my handmaids.
16:51Then, my precious flowers.
16:53But it doesn't always stick.
17:06Shu, how are your hands?
17:08Fine.
17:10It's not Jehoshua was off right now.
17:13I think maybe you guys should cool it on this laughing for a while.
17:20I heard some news from the nurse's office.
17:24Penny's gone into labor.
17:27That's awesome.
17:29No, Hulda.
17:30It's too early.
17:32Right?
17:34This is her third pregnancy.
17:36The other's ended.
17:45Dear Lord, watch over our friend Penny and her baby.
17:49Keep them safe.
17:51Offer them strength, healing, and hope.
17:53Amen.
17:53Amen.
17:55Amen.
18:04Help!
18:05No!
18:06Let go of me!
18:07Let go!
18:07No!
18:09No!
18:26Hey, shut the signs coming through.
18:30Oh my God.
18:44Misogynists who openly disdain women, one needn't fear them.
18:49But the men who understand the power of women, who want to control it instead of deny it, there is
18:57no one more terrifying.
18:59I can sit by myself.
19:03Well, good evening, or good morning.
19:06I've lost track.
19:08I'm Commander Judd of the Sons of Jacob.
19:12And I've been tasked with the so-called women's sphere that is determining where each of you shall be placed
19:18in this new order.
19:19What order?
19:20They haven't told us anything.
19:29Fifty-eight.
19:31You mean my age?
19:32Yes.
19:33Never married.
19:35No.
19:36Does 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?
19:55And that the lie is retroactive?
19:59Well, I love children.
20:00That's why I wanted to teach.
20:02Ah, yes.
20:04Women 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.
20:12But 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.
20:27Well,
20:29I 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, hoping to improve their
20:40outcomes.
20:42I do have a suggestion.
20:44One 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, and the women to be better women, women of God?
21:21Delegation is but one of his many virtues.
21:32Have there been any inquiries?
21:34No.
21:35But what if someone inquires about Agnes McKenzie's lineage?
21:39She's the daughter of a handmaid.
21:41There'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.
22:06What an unexpected surprise.
22:10Ah.
22:13Is there something I can help you with?
22:17With the new offensive against Mayday, 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.
22:33Your guidance is essential as we match our girls.
22:39Commander, how is your dear wife?
22:41I hear she's experiencing complications.
22:45It's hard to be at home watching it all unfold.
22:50Come now.
22:51There's no need to distract yourself with these women's issues.
22:55Rest your mind.
22:57Yes.
22:59Perhaps you're right, Aunt Lydia.
23:04I will handle this.
23:06After all these years, don't you trust me?
23:17Attention, girls.
23:18Physical education will conclude at two bells.
23:21Do not forget to stretch after exerting...
23:2448, 49, 50.
23:27Okay.
23:28Agnes, it's your turn.
23:32Agnes.
23:34Sorry.
23:35I was distracted.
23:36No kidding.
23:37This 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?
23:45Who wants to get married anyway?
23:50Okay.
23:51Becca, 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.
23:57Well, maybe 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?
24:04This is our whole lives.
24:06Some people would give anything for the right match.
24:09What?
24:11Ag... Agnes.
24:15Agnes.
24:27I'm in love.
24:30And it's horrible.
24:35Who?
24:43Garth.
24:45My guardian.
24:50How do you know that you're in love with him?
24:58Anytime I'm near him, I feel hot.
25:01My skin, like my cheeks.
25:04And then in my belly.
25:08Have you ever felt that way before?
25:13No.
25:13Well, but I'm happy for you.
25:19He's not even eligible.
25:24True, but at least you can feel this way once, right?
25:32No matter what, that's a blessing.
25:47Agnes Mackenzie, shouldn'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.
26:13Or a request.
26:14A request?
26:16Very respectfully, Aunt Lydia.
26:18Very.
26:19All right, then.
26:27My guardian, the one who showed bravery on the bus that day when made a...
26:31I am aware.
26:32He's soon to be made a commander.
26:35I thought perhaps you might make him eligible.
26:39This season.
26:40Maybe God protected him for that reason.
26:50I shall think the matter over.
26:54Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
26:56For your graciousness.
26:58Praise be.
27:00Now get to class.
27:01Late girls are difficult girls.
27:04Go in grace.
27:06Grace.
27:07Grace.
27:11Grace.
27:12This is the last day of childhood for these girls.
27:17Innocence can be lost in so many ways.
27:33Innocence can be lost in so many ways.
28:05Innocence can be lost in so many ways.
28:13You'll have to prove you mean it.
28:16Are you prepared to do that?
28:18Yes.
28:27Oh.
28:28Oh, no.
28:29No, no.
28:30Please.
28:31Please.
28:32I beg of you.
28:34I can't.
28:35No, no, no.
28:36Please.
28:37Let me just say this.
28:38Those who are not with us are against us.
28:45So which is it to be?
28:50Oh, my God.
29:33Please, God, help me.
29:42Help me.
29:47Please.
29:54Oh.
30:20Sinners are always visible to the divine eye.
30:24The sins of these women have found out.
30:57Whatever my resolve may have been, after some days I lost track of that plotline.
31:03The plotline of my resolve.
31:06Now, I was following the plotline of my survival.
31:12Please, I don't want to die.
31:15Please, don't.
31:16Please, I don't want to die.
31:18Please.
31:19Lydia, don't.
31:20Please.
31:21Please.
31:26By his hands.
31:54The End
32:20Holt has been settled.
32:22Only a few open slots left.
32:25Which commanders remain?
32:27I 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.
33:26For 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.
33:59Not 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
35:40was 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
36:12that nothing good comes without
36:14a little grinding down of the tooth.
36:18For a seedling must fight its way
36:20through the dirt
36:21to 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,
36:39I 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
36:49with a tailor.
36:50And then soon your dad
36:51to get my teeth whitened.
36:52Bye.
36:54Bye.
37:13Bless the day, Miss Agnes.
37:17See you tomorrow.
37:20See ya.
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.
37:47Generous with praise,
37:48but it's worth mentioning
37:50you've been an exemplary pearl girl
37:52today and all the days.
37:54I'm grateful for the chance to serve.
37:57Especially after my previous indiscretions.
38:00Takes time to adjust to the ways of Gilead.
38:03I made mistakes, too.
38:05You're not from Gilead?
38:10Where are you from?
38:12Well, we're all of the same earth,
38:14dust to dust.
38:16But how did you end up in Gilead?
38:19How 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
38:48as a wooden whistle.
38:51Yes, I would, yeah.
38:52I believe a celebration is in order.
38:55Each season brings its own obstacle,
38:57and this season has been particularly stimulating.
39:01May our greens move forward into holy matrimony
39:06as 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.
39:26Well, we'll continue.
39:58we have done our best to teach these girls to prepare them but what they
40:05don't know yet is that life is long the real brutality is when it asks you to
40:12endure knowing what you have done and what has been done while you stood by
40:18but what choice do we have enduring is the only way through I control the women's
40:29side of their enterprise with an iron fist in a leather glove in a woolen
40:34mitten I made a promise to teach these girls to be women women of God
40:55I made another promise after what happened to my girls at Jezebel's after
41:01Boston fell after the sting of the noose around my neck began to wear off I vowed
41:07to document everything and everyone yes aunts were afforded the special
41:15privilege of being allowed to write the only women in Gilead who could but what
41:22was I writing recording the crimes of weak men and far too many women that was not
41:29allowed that could bring down these men chosen by God to lead us
42:09the corrupt and blood-smeared fingerprints of the past must be wiped away for the morally pure
