00:01Previously on The Handmaid's Tale.
00:03For those who are truly righteous, he sometimes sends a refuge.
00:07The wheelers arranged all of this?
00:09Yeah, as soon as they knew you might be staying.
00:12Isn't it incredible? It's a full birthing suite.
00:15I'm going for a walk.
00:17Absolutely not.
00:18You need to rest. Your baby needs to rest.
00:21Go to your room.
00:23Come on, come on. Make him make it.
00:25Right there.
00:26Get him!
00:31He's not fighting you! Stop it! He's not fucking fighting you!
00:36I never gave up hope.
00:39And you never gave up hope.
00:41Because we knew that we would find each other again.
00:45June Osborn was apprehended by one of my teams in No Man's Land.
00:50They don't want him! Dump him!
00:51No, no, no! We saved it again!
00:53No, no, no! Where are you taking it?
00:55What's gonna happen to her?
00:56I'm going to send Ezra to No Man's Land
00:58and have him deal with her there.
01:01I want to go with Ezra.
01:03Bear witness.
01:09Serena, what the fuck are you doing?
01:11Just drive!
01:36Where the fuck are we going?
01:37Just keep driving.
01:38Where?
01:39To Toronto?
01:40To Gilead?
01:41Is that what you're doing so they can fucking kill me there, Serena?
01:45What about Luke, Serena?
01:47What are those guys gonna do to him?
01:54Jesus Christ!
01:56I'm sorry.
01:58I'm sorry.
01:59I'm sorry.
01:59I'm sorry.
01:59You're fucking sorry?!
02:01Fuck this!
02:06June.
02:07June.
02:09I'm not gonna...
02:10shoot you.

02:13June!
02:15June!
02:16June!
02:30No!
02:32No!
02:33No!
02:36No.
02:38No!
02:40No!
02:42No!
02:44Ah!
02:56Are you in fucking labor?
03:02Of course you are.
03:03Jesus Christ.
03:05Would you give this to me?
03:07Waving it around.
03:08When did it start?
03:09I don't know.
03:10A while ago.
03:11Has your water broken?
03:12Mm-hmm.
03:14How far apart are the contractions?
03:16Oh.
03:17Okay, close.
03:18Do you have a phone?
03:19No.
03:20Okay, get out.
03:20Come on.
03:21What?
03:22Get out of the fucking car, please.
03:23Oh, God.
03:25Why?
03:26It's bored or even in here.
03:27I'm gonna try to get us out of here.
03:29Okay?
03:30Get you to a doctor.
03:31No.
03:32Yes, Serena.
03:34You're gonna have to go to a hospital.
03:35No hospital.
03:36They're gonna find me there.
03:37Who the fuck is gonna find you?
03:43Fuck.
03:49Who the fuck was that guy?
03:50Who was that guy you shot?
03:52Who was he?
03:54Are you trying to get away or something?
03:57Okay.

04:18We gotta get you inside.
04:19Where?
04:19We're gonna take you to that barn.
04:20The barn?
04:21Yes, a barn.
04:22You have a better idea, Serena?
04:23No, no, no.
04:24Yeah, you think so.
04:24Okay, wait, wait.
04:26Just breathe.
04:27Okay, there you go.

17:22You just got to get his head out.

18:43Is he okay?
18:47He's back.
18:50He's back.
18:54Lord, that'skalino.
19:04Look at us.
19:37Of Clarence has fulfilled her duty in this world.
19:42I know you will mourn her, girls, but know that she is cherished.
19:49God is the true judge, and she is his vessel.
19:56She has pleased him, and he has sent her to her final reward.
20:03Praise be.
20:04Praise be, Elidio.
20:06Praise be, Elidio.
20:09And now, let us accompany our sister home.
21:32I'm going to call you Noah.
21:40It's a nice name.
21:43The savior of humanity.
21:48Baby Noah.
21:50I can't believe you're here.
21:55I waited so long for you.
21:58I wanted you so much.
22:02Was it worth it?
22:11Right now, I think it was.
22:17How's his latch?
22:20It's strong.
22:22He's hungry.
22:23Oh, my bad.
22:28Hannah had such a hard time breastfeeding.
22:31It was a tongue tie, which we didn't know.
22:35But I would just feed her and feed her.
22:39And she was still hungry.
22:41And I felt so guilty.
22:43She used to get so many colds when she was little.
22:45And I thought that was my fault because of the nursing.
22:49But then it turned out she got colds when she got older, too.
22:52So sometimes I'd have to stay home from work with her.
22:57And sometimes I couldn't stay home from work.
23:03Sometimes I didn't want to stay home from work.
23:13June.
23:17Why didn't you kill me?
23:27You've been the one waving the gun around.
23:29No, not today.
23:30At the information center, the protest.
23:34You had a gun.
23:37Yeah.
23:42Why didn't you kill me?
23:44Why Fred and not me?
23:56I didn't want to.
24:06I don't know.
24:24I want to.
24:29I imagine this moment so many times.
24:33I always imagined that he would be here.
24:38Fred.
24:43He looks like him.
24:49They...
24:52...say that they always look like their dads at first.
24:57It's evolutionary.
25:00So that the dads don't kill them, you know?
25:05Evolution.
25:23Do you think he's gonna be like him?
25:28Depends.
25:30On what?
25:32On who raises him.
25:37On what kind of person they want him to become.
25:46On what you teach him.
25:53And on what you tell him is his...
25:57...to take.
26:06I want him to have everything.
26:11We all want that for them, Serena.
26:38...
27:06Well, is he okay?
27:07No, he's perfect.
27:12It's funny how every tiny baby you see
27:17makes you feel like you've never seen a baby before.
27:20I tried to sleep.
27:23You did sleep?
27:24I just kept worrying that I would smother him
27:28in these blankets and things.
27:30You're not supposed to have a bedding like this.
27:38We have to get you both somewhere inside, Serena, okay?
27:42Somewhere where they can take care of you.
27:44No.
27:45I told you I can't go to a hospital.
27:47They'll find me there.
27:48Who will find you?
27:49The wheelers.
27:53The family that I've been staying with,
27:55they were the ones looking for you.
27:59They've been controlling me.
28:02My every move, they're everywhere.
28:06That's like I'm their handmaid.
28:11It's like I'm you.
28:16As awful as that sounds.
28:18Yes.
28:19Which is why they can't find me,
28:20and I can't let them get their hands on my baby.
28:23So you understand.
28:24I know that you do.
28:25Serena, you have no water.
28:27You have no food.
28:28It's freezing.
28:29But I'm so hot.
28:30No, I know.
28:31That's because you have a fever.
28:32So we have to get you the fuck out of this barn
28:35and take you somewhere where they can take care of you.
28:39Or you are both going to die.
28:42And it will not be quick.
28:44Do you want to watch your baby slowly starve to death
28:47in front of you
28:49while you die of sepsis?
29:06Maybe you should take him.
29:11What are you talking about?
29:15There's nothing left for me here.
29:17I can't go to Canada.
29:20I can't go back to Gilead.
29:24It's over.
29:25I don't have a future.
29:30But you have a future.
29:32Maybe you could...
29:34take him with you.
29:36Serena, you don't know what you're saying.
29:38I know that I want what's best for him,
29:40like what you did with Nicole.
29:42With your daughter.
29:47He would be safe with you.
29:49You could care for him.
29:52You and your husband.
29:54He's a good man.
29:57He could teach Noah to be a good man.
30:01The kind of man who would never do the things
30:04that his father did.
30:11The things that I did.
30:22No.
30:23June, I think God sent you to me today.
30:26You came after me.
30:28What if he guided my hand to save you
30:30so that you could save my baby like an angel?
30:33Oh, shit.
30:34There are avenging angels
30:36that rain down sulfur and fire from the Lord.
30:41Rejoice with him.
30:42No heavens.
30:45For he will avenge the blood of his children
30:49and take righteous vengeance
30:51on his adversaries.
30:56They're still angels.
30:59Maybe that's what you are for me.
31:08Is that what you think of me?
31:14And when she could no longer hide him,
31:19she built for him an ark of bulrushes
31:22and placed this child therein.
31:30Maybe I'm the ark, June.
31:34Maybe I'm the vessel.
31:40I carried my baby.
31:43I delivered him.
31:47And I held him.
31:53Maybe that's all that was meant for me in this life.
32:01Maybe it's God's will.
32:32Maybe it's son's will.
32:35Maybe it's God's will.
32:47God's will.
33:00A vessel.
33:06That's what you thought I was.
33:13What we were.
33:17Who we were.
33:21Where we came from.
33:26What we wanted.
33:28What we wanted.
33:33None of that mattered to you.
33:40To any of you.
33:45I'm so sorry.
33:48I don't care that you're sorry.
33:52We mattered.
33:55We were.
33:58We are.
34:00People.
34:04We have lives.
34:15And that's why I'm gonna save yours Serena.
34:18Yeah.
34:22Because this isn't Gilead.
34:27And I am not you.
34:34I don't deserve to be saved.
34:36It's not for you.
34:40It's for him.
34:46Look at him.
34:49Look at your baby.
34:53You are the only person in the whole world that he knows.
34:58You are the only familiar smell.
35:01You are the only voice he recognizes.
35:08You love him.
35:14And you wanted him.
35:16So much.
35:21You are his mother.
35:26And he belongs.
35:28With you.
35:34That.
35:36Is God's will.
35:58Do you understand me?
36:14Excuse me.
