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.
02:26Could you stop pacing?
02:27You're making me nervous.
02:28Chill.
02:29How?
02:30Why?
02:32What's going on?
02:33The Altsideside are 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 aunt.
02:50Is there a difference?
03:00Is there a difference?
03:43Let's begin, shall we?
03:45Jehoshabah wants power.
03:47Huldah, security.
03:49But 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.
05:03Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:07Oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:38Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:41Everything into the containers.
05:50Don't worry, man.
05:51We'll get your belongings back, sir.
06:00Let's go, let's go!
06:02Come on!
06:03Hey, come on!
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?
06:28Excuse me, where 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.
06:41Just at all.
06:45It quickly became clear there had been a coup.
06:49A forced change of leadership.
06:52The first of many to come.
06:54What would transpire next, none of us knew.
06:58What are they doing with that?
07:00What's going on?
07:02What the fuck are you going to do to them?
07:16Sinners are always visible to the divine eye.
07:20The sins of these women have found them out.
07:29By his hands.
07:30No!
07:33Get down!
07:36Get down!
07:37Put your defense!
07:38Oh, my God!
07:40Get down!
07:41Get down!
07:42Get down!
07:43Get down!
07:43Get down!
07:44Get down!
07:45Get 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 John, 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.
08:54All right.
08:58Good night.
09:03Good night.
09:22Come on.
09:35I'm so happy for you.
10:14Where are they taking them?
10:16No, no, no.
10:18Fuck 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.
10:54Jealous prune.
10:57What did she just call you?
10:59Prune.
11:00You 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.
11:29Great.
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.
12:25Holda.
12:27Hold Tsunamite's arms down on the desk.
12:30Yes.
12:40Holda.
12:40Hold Tsunamite's arms down on the desk.
12:41Holda.
12:41Holda.
12:46Hold 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 worked before, on myself and other women.
13:40Get up! Move!
13:43One takes one.
13:45Take this and pass it down the line.
13:49One slice.
13:58Some wolfed and guzzled, but I made my portion last as long as possible.
14:04Chewing and swallowing distracts from mental wheel spinning.
14:08Also, it passes the time.
14:15Get up! Get up!
14:17I'm not.
14:18I've got you.
14:19I've got you.
14:20Come on!
14:21I'm sorry.
14:22Don't worry.
14:23Don't worry.
14:24Don't worry.
14:31It's okay.
14:33Don't worry.
14:53I'm sorry.
14:56About 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.
15:12Warm milk.
15:25You are a damn fine teacher, Lydia.
15:33So are you.
15:46So are you.
15:49Here, pass it down.
15:51Here, pass it down.
15:52One bottle each.
15:54Here, pass it around.
16:03Here, pass it over here.
16:04Two spice, one bottle.
16:06You got it, one bottle.
16:07Here.
16:09There.
16:09Pass it over here.
16:11One bottle.
16:25I'm sorry about your friend.
16:30I'm sorry, too.
16:37I learned quickly that having friends in Gilead was a liability.
16:41It would only bring pain and suffering.
16:45I've tried to pass this lesson along to my girls.
16:49First, my handmaids, then my precious flowers.
16:53But it doesn't always stick.
17:06Shu, how are your hands?
17:08Fine.
17:10It's not Jehoshaphat himself 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.
17:25Penny's gone into labor.
17:27That's awesome.
17:29No, Hilda, it's too early.
17:32Right?
17:34This is her third pregnancy.
17:36The others ended.
17:45Dear Lord, watch over our friend Penny and her baby.
17:49Keep them safe.
17:50Offer them strength, healing, and hope.
17:53Amen.
17:54Amen.
17:55Amen.
18:02Oh!
18:03Oh!
18:04Help!
18:04On your feet!
18:05No!
18:06Let go of me!
18:07Let go!
18:07No!
18:09No!
18:26Hey, shut the sign.
18:28He's coming through.
18:30Oh, my God.
18:33Oh!
18:36Oh!
18:37Oh!
18:38Oh!
18:39Oh!
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,
18:56there is no one more terrifying.
18:59I can sit by myself.
19:03Good evening.
19:04Or 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
19:17shall be placed in 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.
20:03Women have been told for so long that they can achieve equality in the professional and
20:08public 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.
20:19Surviving 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, hoping
20:39to improve their outcomes.
20:42I do have a suggestion, one 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?
22:04Lesser day.
22:05Lesser 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.
23:29Agnes, your turn.
23:31Agnes.
23:33Sorry.
23:34I 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?
23:50Hey, 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?
24:04This is our whole lives.
24:06Some people would give anything for the right match.
24:09What?
24:11Ag...
24:12Agnes.
24:15Agnes.
24:26I'm in love.
24:30And it's horrible.
24:35Who?
24:42Agnes.
24:44Agnes.
24:46Agnes.
24:46Agnes.
24:50Agnes.
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
25:15but I'm happy for you
25:19he's not even eligible
25:24true but

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
26:53thank you aunt Lydia

27:212
27:37I
27:37told you
27:51to be
28:03It's fun, it's a little fresh.
28:10Now, if you are to join our cause, you'll have to prove you mean it.
28:16Are you prepared to do that?
28:18Yes.
28:28Oh, oh, no, no, no, please, please, I beg of you, I, I can't, no, no, no, no, please.
28:37Let me just say this, those who are not with us, are against us.
28:45So which is it to be?
28:49No, no, no, no, no, no, please, I beg your pardon.
29:33Please, God, help me.
29:42Help me.
29:47Please.
29:50Please.
30:17No.
30:20Sinners are always visible to the divine eye.
30:25The sins of these women have found it 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. Please, don't. Please, I don't want to die. Please. Lydia, don't. Please.
31:27By his hands.
31:41By his hands.
31:43By his hands.
31:47By his hands.
31:50By his hands.
31:57By his hands.
32:01By his hands.
32:02By his hands.
32:03By his hands.
32:03By his hands.
32:05By his hands.
32:05By his hands.
32:05By his hands.
32:08By 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. Spit 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.
34:12Your price is above rubies.
34:16Praise be.
34:18Praise 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.
35:08I thought you might enjoy the privilege of weighing in.
35:37My 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,
42:24and they can't be wiped away so easily.
42:28May God protect these girls,
42:32because I'm not sure I can.
42:34.
42:35.
42:35.
42:35.
