00:01Previously on The Testaments
00:02Wrong!
00:03It was Gilead.
00:04You're in danger. I need to get you out of here.
00:06I need you to trust me.
00:07Being a woman on God's green earth is no easy feat.
00:12Who can bring forth God's children?
00:14Who?
00:15Watch you.
00:16Dr. Grove is ready for you.
00:17Becca's gonna be thrilled you're green now.
00:19You know, you really are getting to be a big girl, Agnes.
00:22I imagine your breasts must be quite tender.
00:24I'm starting to move very, very fast.
00:27It's a dress, not a husband.
00:28Not yet.
00:29She could get an offer from a commander.
00:31A dance.
00:32You will have to make many difficult decisions when you are wives.
00:35I imagine it's a lot to handle.
00:37Being a new wife.
00:39God only sends us what we can bear.
00:41It will be great.
00:42Pushing strollers together.
00:43I don't wanna get married.
00:45I don't want a husband.
00:47But what else would you do?
00:51Agnes! Get down!
00:55Why does Gilead wanna kill me?
00:57They don't wanna kill you.
00:57They wanna take you back.
00:59When you got out of Gilead, they would not stop looking for you.
01:02Mayday's got you.
01:03What the fuck happened?
01:04Is that Mayday?
01:05It was meant to be a retrieval mission.
01:07The girls weren't supposed to get hurt.
01:09What is this?
01:10Map at the school.
01:11I need to speak to June.
01:12You guys are just some slobby shit show.
01:15My life is in your hands here.
01:28My life is in your hands here.
01:33I can make sunshine shine on the rainy day.
01:38Gilead was so beautiful.
01:40Sometimes I could forget where I was.
01:42I could forget to be scared shitless for a second.
01:45But just a second.
01:48Since the bus attack, security was everywhere.
01:51I was sure the eyes were gonna pull me off the street.
01:54Of course, the gals had their own fish to fry.
01:58Marriage season was all about sucking up to the ants.
02:01This time, it was a tea party.
02:04The girls stressed out about buying flowers and sweets to please the ants.
02:09I get it.
02:11Always be extra nice to the frigid sadists who are arranging your marriage.
02:18Gilead pro tip.
02:20You're welcome.
02:29Here, Miss Mackenzie is still choosing a few others.
02:34Tell Garth he's got to move me or get me out.
02:39I think they're closing in.
02:41Please.
02:47We're ready.
02:51What?
02:54I'm sorry.
02:55What?
02:57I'm sorry.
03:03I'm sorry.
03:04I'm sorry.
03:11I'm sorry.
03:12It's a beautiful day for a tea party.
03:13It's hot.
03:14Anyone else hot?
03:17You both look so different in green.
03:19Do you feel different?
03:21Not really.
03:22My green dress has a bow in the back of it.
03:24My mom made it, just in case.
03:27She's not supposed to do that.
03:29Whatever. God loves a woman in the Mactis States.
03:32You know what's against the rules.
03:36What's up with her?
03:49It's okay.
03:51It's a good thing. It means we're safe.
03:54They were May Day.
03:56Is she about to throw up?
03:58Forgive her a second. She's not used to this stuff.
04:01Don't feel sorry for them.
04:02They tried to kill us. Their rebel's gone.
04:06We'll catch up in a second.
04:08Real girls.
04:14Look, I know it's scary.
04:15They pretended to be one of us.
04:17Meanwhile, the entire time they hated us.
04:21They tried to kill us.
04:23The eyes will always find them.
04:25You don't have to worry. Okay?
04:37That's why the florist was so scared.
04:39Gilead is out there.
04:41Looking for us.
04:42Hunting us.
04:44All I could think about is how that could be me up there.
04:46And if I didn't get out of here soon, it would be.
04:50But here we are.
04:51Going to Agnes' house for a fucking tea party.
04:54Just Madeline is perfect.
05:08Just Madeline is perfect.
05:22Just Madeline is perfect.
05:24Just Madeline is perfect.
05:26Just Madeline is perfect.
05:27Just Madeline is perfect.
05:35Of course you think it's easy.
05:37You've been practicing for months.
05:41Okay, so now you need to practice.
05:44This round.
05:47Here.
05:47Come here.
05:50Okay.
05:50Ready?
05:52Here.
05:53One.
05:54Two.
05:55Three.
05:56Two.
05:57Three.
05:57Two.
05:57Stepping on the three, it's supposed to be on two.
05:59Like this.
06:01One.
06:01Two.
06:02Three.
06:02One.
06:03Two.
06:04You tried.
06:05Do I have to?
06:06The waltz is the easy part.
06:08You still have to learn the opening number.
06:10What if I get it wrong at the ball?
06:12Am I going to look totally lame?
06:13No.
06:13No.
06:15You look adorable.
06:17You always do.
06:21Okay, come here.
06:24I will be the commander.
06:25You be you.
06:27Okay?
06:27Right foot back.
06:29Side.
06:30Together.
06:32Okay, now the tricky part.
06:34Raise your arm up.
06:36Like this.
06:38Together.
06:39And down.
06:40It's true.
06:42It's true.
06:43It's true.
06:43It's true.
06:48This.
06:49It's true.
06:50It seems to me like.
06:52Seems to me like.
06:54That's where I belong.
06:59You know.
07:01You know.
07:02You know how to hold me.
07:04You know how to thrill me
07:06And you know how to control me
07:09You're making me like
07:10Just enough to keep me
07:14Okay, I think you've got it
07:33There you are.
07:35We have guests arriving.
07:37Becca was teaching me the dance for the ball.
07:40Thank you, Becca.
07:41She needs all the help she can get,
07:42but the aunts will be here any minute.
07:46Your hair is crazy again.
07:48Do you see what I'm doing with?
07:51Paula, you have so much to do.
07:53I'll spreece a little Agnes.
07:57Just beyond Agnes.
08:03So, Paula is still a blessing.
08:05I see.
08:07I thank God for her every day.
08:12Let's go check out your bounty.
08:16Who sent this?
08:17It's crazy.
08:20I've never seen this bread like this.
08:22You clearly made an impression.
08:24Tenderloin.
08:25That's no joke.
08:26She also got oranges.
08:27Commander Stevens.
08:29He's a catch.
08:31Oranges are all right,
08:32but didn't you get guavas and lychees
08:34when you were a green?
08:35Yeah, but they were easier to get back then.
08:39Artichoke is hard to come by these days.
08:41Which commander is this?
08:44Collins.
08:45He's in charge of one of the colonies.
08:47Ew.
08:48Yikes.
08:48No, thank you.
08:49Ew.
08:50So, who do you think will match
08:53and who's going to crash and burn?
08:55Becca's doing well.
08:57She got lamb chops.
08:59Of course you did.
09:00I bet Jehoshaphat's crazy jealous.
09:03Jehoshaphat will do just fine.
09:04I was two people.
09:06One could walk and talk,
09:08say praise be and yes ma'am.
09:11And the other could only think about
09:12those dead bodies hanging from the bridge.
09:15Was it obvious to everyone?
09:18Luckily, I was basically invisible.
09:20Penny, can you feel the baby kicking it?
09:23No, it's too early for that.
09:25I can't wait.
09:27And Michael is even more excited than I am.
09:29You're so much further along than last time.
09:31Hold up.
09:34Sorry.
09:35You can be so slow sometimes.
09:39Spread out.
09:39Search the house.
09:43Bless you be the fruit.
09:47Downstairs first.
09:49Search the rooms.
09:50Coffee sweeping downstairs.
09:51I see something you don't like.
09:52Raise a flag.
09:53Okay.
09:54Oh, Guardian?
09:55I'd like to have that card
09:57from Commander Stevens read.
09:58Please.
10:02Um.
10:04Yes, Mrs. Judd.
10:10Agnes, congratulations on reaching this milestone.
10:14God hath blessed you in every respect.
10:18I look forward to a dance at the ball.
10:22Praise be.
10:27I'm worried about being executed.
10:30She's over there getting horny.
10:34Under his eye.
10:35Right, Agnes?
10:37Girls, the cars are pulling up to the gate.
10:39Quick, quick.
10:40Come on.
10:41Yes, Mother.
10:42I'm coming.
10:45Under his eye.
10:51Clean that up immediately.
10:53Yes, Mrs. McKenzie.
10:55Have a check out.
10:55Yeah.
10:56Let's go.
11:07A woman in the florist shop almost got me caught today.
11:10She was terrified.
11:12She said she needs you to move her.
11:15Shit.
11:17Is something happening?
11:19This morning, I had to walk past three dead bodies.
11:22Lower your voice.
11:24Gilead's retaliating for what happened with the bus.
11:28Is Commander Hayes' daughter said anything?
11:31Her father taking any trips?
11:32Commander.
11:33Shoot him, I did.
11:34No.
11:35Are you even listening to me?
11:37Those people that they hung were May Day.
11:39I have to get the fuck out of here.
11:41It's too dangerous.
11:42Yeah, you knew that coming in.
11:44Yeah, coming in, I assumed you guys had an organized operation.
11:47Oh, was it?
11:47So you thought it would just go smoothly?
11:49No bumps?
11:50It's a rebellion.
11:51Who did I talk to about getting out of here?
11:53I don't trust you guys anymore.
11:55What about the trust we put in you?
11:57We have never had someone get this close to these girls.
12:00Their fathers, the men who run this country.
12:03We waited for this.
12:06If you leave now, we may never have the chance again.
12:12We need you to do this.
12:13Do what?
12:14What's the goalpost?
12:17When did I get to leave?
12:19I don't know.
12:21Fuck you.
12:23Find out.
12:25Look, if you get something helpful,
12:28information that really makes a difference,
12:30at least I feel like they got some return on investment.
12:33Just don't get caught in home while I do it.
12:35I don't think so much.
12:53And I'm sure that I will die.
12:55I don't know.
12:58I don't know.
12:58I don't know.
12:59I don't know.
13:00I don't know.
13:01I don't know.
13:13this wasn't just a tea in honor of the ants it was the last chance for the top greens to
13:19show
13:19their wife material running a high commander's house was definitely not for the faint-hearted

19:21Well done, Miriam.
20:17I'm so, so sorry, Mrs. McKenzie.
20:19I'll go get my Martha now.
20:21It's no worry at all, dear.
20:22It's no worry.
20:50It's no worry.
21:20It's no worry.
21:22It's no worry.
21:36It's no worry.
22:04It's no worry.
22:06It's no worry.
22:12I didn't understand it then.
22:16I'm not sure I understand it now.
22:20But it was real to them.
22:23As real as anything I've ever felt.
22:27As real as a heart attack.
22:30Or a hanging.
22:30It's no worry.
22:53It's no worry.
22:58It's no worry.
22:59Blessed day, are you lost?
23:04Blessed day, sir.
23:08Well, what brings you in here?
23:13Forgive me the chocolate on your desk, sir.
23:21I haven't had any since before I came to Gilead.
23:39I'm sorry. I'll accept whatever correction you deem appropriate, sir.
23:57I used to bring this home to my daughter when she was little.
24:03But I don't think she likes them anymore.
24:10Aunt Lydia, she paired me with Miss Agnes.
24:20I have much to learn, and she sets such a pious example.
24:27And she's been so kind to me.
24:32Yeah, she's a very good girl.
24:37I suppose she's not a girl now.
24:45Is she happy?
24:52Joyful indeed are those whose God is the Lord.
25:02You must be needed at the party.
25:05Go on, Grace.
25:39Go on, Grace.
25:40So how do you think you did?
25:43Fine.
25:45Fine.
25:49Well, I'm sure you guys looked better than Miriam.
25:51That wasn't her fault.
25:53Who cares?
25:54She junked it.
25:56Poor Miriam.
25:57Girls, back into the parlor. Off you go.
26:04I'm so proud of you.
26:05Thank you, Rosa.
26:18I know what you're doing.
26:20I...
26:20I wasn't doing anything.
26:24Staring at a man like that?
26:26Maybe you don't care what happens to you,
26:29but you can get him in a lot of trouble.
26:32Guardians are punished for a lot less.
26:35Come now.
26:36It's time for the commander's cake.
26:38Just so you know,
26:39I used to have a lot of guy friends.
26:42It was totally platonic,
26:43and it wasn't a big deal.
26:45It was so simple to have.
26:50It's a bit so hard.
26:58So, you know,
26:59you got a lot of y'all.
26:59You know,
27:05You're not a big deal.
27:06I'm probably not a big deal.
27:11What's up?
27:18Ladies, the Lord revels in how you have all comported yourselves today.
27:23You have done your mothers proud, and you have done us proud.
27:28And so we finish with a Gilead tradition, the commander's cake.
27:33Inside one of these slices, a hidden treasure.
27:37Shall we find out who is so lucky?
27:39Who will have his light shined upon her at this juncture?
27:43Oh, let them eat their cake, Vidala.
27:47Dig in, girls.
28:09Agnes found the bride!
28:12History has it that whoever gets the bride is the first to marry.
28:16It's kind of like catching the bouquet.
28:19It's a porcelain bride.
28:21Not a plastic one.
28:23There's no plastic in Gilead at all.
28:40Is it bad?
28:42Of course it's bad.
28:45How awful.
28:47And with the ball so soon.
28:49Don't worry, Paula.
28:51I'll call my husband.
28:53Make sure she gets seen right away.
28:57Praise be your kindness.
28:59Go clean up Agnes.
29:01I'll send for a car.
29:06Hey, don't worry.
29:08My dad will take good care of you.
29:10Promise.
29:13Yes.
29:14Yes.
29:31Have a blessed day, Commander.
29:39Agnes, lovely to see you as always.
29:43Come.
29:47I guess, even in Gilead, no one likes to go to the fucking dentist.
30:11You're on lock.
30:13Simple bonding will do the trick.
30:15Very routine.
30:19Praise be.
30:20This is just a mild sedative.
30:25There we go.
30:27Just recite the Lord's Prayer, and before you know it,
30:30you'll wake up with a perfect smile.
30:37Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
30:43I can now come.
30:46I will be done.
30:49Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
30:57All right.
31:14We're set.
31:15All right.
31:25Don't worry.
31:33Hey. Hey.
31:40A chocolate from Commander McKenzie's office.
31:43You wanted to know whose dads were traveling.
31:46A Swiss or neutral?
31:49It's an import.
31:51Look at the back.
31:56Japan has sanctions against Gillian.
32:01What was he doing there?
32:02What the fuck would I know?
32:04That's your job.
32:10Also, you might want to be careful with Agnes.
32:16She's in love with you.
32:20Nice work letting that happen.
32:21No.
32:27No.
32:32No.
32:33No.
32:35No.
32:45No.
32:46No.
32:59Yeah, that's a good idea.
33:09Welcome back.
33:13If you have any pain, tell your mother.
33:16She'll call me.
33:18Oh, and good luck at the ball.
33:20I'm sure you and Becca will do great.
34:01I'm sure you and Becca will do great.
34:08Okay, come. Let me see.
34:11Smile.
34:13Open.
34:18Oh, thank the Lord, Dr. Grove does beautiful work.
34:24I blame your mother for this.
34:26She gave you weak teeth, didn't she?
34:30Tabitha?
34:31No, not Tabitha.
34:34It's not your fault that you come from weak genes.
34:38It's where that rebellious streak comes from.
34:52She has a weak chin.
34:54Can't fix that.
35:05So, how many mothers have you had?
35:09One.
35:11Paula's my stepmother.
35:13My mother died.
35:14But your stepmother mentioned someone else.
35:18Your birth mother.
35:20We don't...
35:23It's rude to talk about that here.
35:27I'm sorry.
35:32My mom died, too.
35:39I'm sorry.
35:42So did my birth mother.
35:47Daisy, dear.
35:49It's time for you to head back.
35:50Your ride's around the house.
35:52The leftover cake.
35:53For you and the other parole girls.
36:01Have a blessed evening, Miss Agnes.
36:09I'm sorry.
36:10Let's go.
36:10Let's go.
36:43She tried to run when the eyes came to the shop.
36:46She was shot dead in the street.
36:52I found out her name was Candace.
36:55Rest in peace, Candace.
36:58I'm sorry I couldn't help you.
37:13I found out her name was Candace.
37:15Candace panicked, and now she's dead.
37:18Don't show anything, no matter what, no matter how much I'm freaking out inside.
37:27I need to keep my shit together, like they do.
37:30Like Agnes, like all of them.
37:33I'm sure they're panicking a lot of the time, and I don't even see it.
37:37Push it down.
37:38You can do it.
37:40That's what they're always telling us in Gilead.
37:43God never gives us more than we can handle.
37:51But that, as he used to say in my world, is bullshit.
38:21You're listening to Radio Free Boston.
38:23What a sudden, was a urgent warning for me.
38:28Fuck.
38:35Fuck.
38:39Fuck.
38:45Fuck.
38:46Let's go.
39:28Let's go.
39:48Let's go.
40:17Let's go.
40:46Let's go.
41:16Let's go.
41:16Let's go.
