00:01This is Radio Free Boston with an update.
00:04You know you have a 4-0-3.
00:06The meeting Boston was unsuccessful.
00:10We're fighting for you.
00:13For everyone still inside, keep your head down and stay safe.
00:16For our main A-E-R-O behind the lines, tonight's messages are on mute.
00:20Turn your dial to 101.6.
00:2399.2.
00:26This is Radio Free America.
00:27Forever the sound of freedom.
00:30There is a possibility of raising sanctions against the Gilead State.
01:00There is a possibility of asking.
01:16you want to know what it was like for me growing up in Gilead
01:22i'm ashamed to say that i believed in Gilead once
01:25i guess it's easier to accept a story even a childish one
01:30rather than believe that the people around you are monsters
01:39blessed morning Agnes in this story i'm telling i'm not really sure what year it was
01:46sorry it's hard to remember actual dates because girls were forbidden to have calendars
01:52just reading one could cost you a finger
02:04you learn to mark time in other ways
02:08i know i still had my dollhouse
02:10it looked just like our real house
02:14it had my bedroom and the dining room
02:17a wife's parlor even an attic where the martha slept
02:20they're in the badlands looking for me
02:23we're in the sand getting out of the freaks
02:26put the jukebox back on me
02:30i'm free
02:35i was a plum
02:38i didn't have my period yet
02:40in my world then
02:42i made all the difference
02:45it was all we wanted
02:47and it also terrified us
02:54what is it's so WHY is it our how is it
02:57i know what to do now that i got a man like you
03:01so i'm tired
03:03it can be so cruel
03:05baby don't be cool
03:10i know what to do now that i got a man like you
03:27The commander doll was always doing very important work, just like my father, keeping us safe from heretics and Mayday
03:35terrorists.
03:51The Martha dolls were always busy, but at night they would let the little girl doll sit in the kitchen
03:57with them.
03:59They would make her cinnamon toast and they would all talk.
04:10There is a wife doll, in blue of course.
04:13That would be Paula, who was my new stepmother then.
04:18Blessed morning, Agnes, dear. Rosa, how's your leg? Please tell me it's better.
04:23Yes, ma'am. It's kind of you to ask.
04:26Praise be his mercy.
04:30The high dusting is catching up with us, I'm afraid.
04:32Yes, ma'am. I'll do that after the commander's meeting.
04:40Thank you, Zilla.
04:42Zilla was new.
04:43Her tongue was removed as punishment before she was posted with us.
04:48Probably for blasphemy.
04:50That was a big one for some wives.
04:53Well, she's certainly an improvement.
04:55That last one we had was a chatty Cathy.
04:58Sometimes, when I was playing with the dollhouse, I would lock the Paula doll in the attic, which was not
05:04nice.
05:06The Paula doll would pound on the door and scream, but the little girl doll would pay no attention.
05:11And sometimes she would laugh.
05:13Is that the new skirt?
05:17Up then.
05:21Well, don't you look pretty as a picture.
05:27Mother.
05:31I was worried to make you look gawky, but no.
05:40Praise be his mercy for not making me look too gawky.
05:46I'm an irritant to Paula.
05:50She wants me married and gone.
05:53I was born in the sinful before world.
05:57Please keep the counter clean, guys.
05:59We don't want to get hands again.
06:01Yes, ma'am.
06:05Don't slouch, dear.
06:07Slouching girls get fat husbands.
06:25What's the morning, Miss Agnes?
06:30Under his eyes, sweetie-bye.
06:32Bye, Rosa.
06:33Bye.
06:49Once, when we were pinks, I smiled at a boy on the playground.
06:53Leon's taped my mouth shut and made me stand in the dining hall for two days,
06:57holding the sign for a slut.
06:59That was for smiling.
07:01I wonder what would happen if I kissed one.
07:17I wonder what would happen.
07:17I don't know.
07:17I don't hear.
07:18I didn't know.
07:38I did voud a massage.
07:39I did.
07:40When we became plums, we started going on the field trips.
07:45They were fun.
07:47Some parts more than others.
08:00I got you!
08:09I met you in a restaurant.
08:14You couldn't tell I was no debutante.
08:20You asked me what's my pleasure.
08:24Come on, girls.
08:27Come on, girls.
08:28Quickly.
08:36Quiet, quiet, quiet.
08:41Dreaming is free.
08:44I don't want to live on charity.
08:50Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
09:00Gross.
09:01Hulda, enough.
09:02God's justice is beautiful.
09:05I'm sorry, Aunt Vidala.
09:07Friends.
09:08These men.
09:11Do you know what crime they committed?
09:15Yes, Shinamite.
09:17Rape.
09:18Avidala, that's what the red X is for.
09:20It's for rape.
09:21Praise be.
09:23Friends, these men.
09:25These horrible men.
09:27These.
09:29Rapists.
09:30You say rapists.
09:32Rapists, yes.
09:34Thank you, Shinamite.
09:36Not raper.
09:37I didn't know that.
09:38Friends.
09:39It's a ghastly story.
09:41These men stole a young girl.
09:44Much like yourselves.
09:45This young girl was a kind who liked being the center of attention.
09:49Spirited girl.
09:51That kind of girl often earns a violent end for herself.
09:55Praise be his judgment.
09:57Praise be his judgment.
09:58These men saw this girl.
10:00And they were overcome by their urges.
10:04They came in the night and took her.
10:06From her own bed.
10:09What about her guardians?
10:11Some of them were her guardians.
10:14The urges of men are terrible things.
10:16And those urges must be curbed.
10:18That is the burden that God has personally laid upon each of you.
10:22Just by existing, we were mortally dangerous to otherwise perfectly good men.
10:28They were helpless to resist us.
10:31Even us.
10:32The daughters of commanders.
10:34The most godly of girls.
10:57I was a precious flower.
11:01Then why did I sometimes feel like a prized pig?
11:03All clear.
11:05There we go.
11:06Open the gate.
11:06Fire.
11:08Fire.
11:11Fire.
11:12Fire.
11:14Fire.
11:19Fire.
11:20Fire.
11:21Fire.
11:36At the Aunt Lydia's school, pink dresses were for little girls.
11:40Plum dresses were for older girls like us.
11:43Predestined to marry high Gilead commanders once we became eligible,
11:47which only happened if God blessed us with a period.
11:51Then we became greens and got pins.
11:56Blessed be the fruit.
11:59You're insane. The skirt looks fine.
12:01May the Lord open, don't bother.
12:03Even God knows Paula has no taste.
12:05Come along, Prince!
12:09Becca was the first person I met when we moved here from Colorado.
12:13She was my best friend, except we weren't allowed to have best friends.
12:17The Aunt said that best friends led to keeping secrets,
12:19and secrets led to disobedience.
12:21And disobedient girls became women who were immoral, obviously.
12:25We've been sent good weather.
12:27This blessing?
12:29Do you have your address for you?
12:30Be moving, girls. Let's go.
12:32After lunch.
12:33Becca was already green.
12:35She was getting ready to be matched.
12:37She was moving on without me.
12:39But we didn't talk about that.
12:41This will be our third seamstress.
12:43My mother thinks if she gets the bodice just right,
12:46everyone will forget my dad's a dentist.
12:48Maybe you should dress as a tooth.
12:50Blessed day.
12:51Blessed day.
12:52We've been sent good weather.
12:53Thought I received with one.
12:55Very, very cute hair.
12:57Yeah, I definitely agree.
12:58Thanks.
12:59New Martha.
13:00Blessed be yours, too.
13:01Seriously.
13:01My Martha sucks.
13:02I look like I have a bad head.
13:04Shunammite.
13:04Chitter, chatter, chitter, chatter.
13:06Flap your tongue around and you're likely to lose it.
13:09Yes, Aunt Badala.
13:10Have a graceful day, girls.
13:12More haste.
13:13I'd like to see you.
13:17Aunt Lydia was a legend.
13:19Blessed day, Aunt Lydia.
13:20She had been worshipped, then vilified.
13:22Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
13:23Then worshipped again.
13:25Blessed day, Aunt Lydia.
13:26In the four years since the War of Massachusetts,
13:29the purges had happened.
13:31As always, those remaining were able to shape history as they liked.
13:35Some people were hung.
13:37And some had schools named after them.
13:43At one time, we, too, were foolish, disobedient, deceived,
13:47and enslaved by all kinds of passions and envy.
13:51We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.
13:55But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
13:59he saved us.
14:01Not because of the righteous things we had done,
14:03but because of his mercy.
14:06White was for the Pearl Girls.
14:09They were new arrivals from outside of Gilead.
14:12Converts to our godly struggle.
14:16Aunt Lydia and her missionaries gathered them from all over the world.
14:20They were mostly runaways.
14:22Of course they had to be young, and possibly fertile.
14:27Weirdos.
14:34Beyond said the Pearl Girls came eager for a new start.
14:37They were even more eager to prove their godliness by telling on you to the aunts.
14:42We all knew someone who had been ratted out by a Pearl Girl.
14:46Amen.
14:47The passion of the converted.
14:50What a pain in the ass.
15:14Nice work, Constance.
15:16Constance.
15:30Pretty daisies, Hilda.
15:32Really?
15:34Thank you, Aunt Estee.
15:35They're actually black-eyed Susan.
15:37Should you be thanking me?
15:39No.
15:40No.
15:41No.
15:41Thank him, Aunt Estee, for making me able, and for the flowers he made of the thread.
15:49Pray forgive me.
15:50You are forgiven.
15:52Just be mindful around all the dollar.
15:58Aunt Gabbana.
15:59Blessed morning.
16:05Agnes.
16:06Aunt Lydia would like to speak with you.
16:14Come along.
16:16Agnes, get up, please.
16:18I'm sure it's good news.
16:20Back to work.
16:21Back to work.
16:21Hmm.
16:35That's OK.
16:36Yes.
16:41Ah.
16:55By tradition, only dead people are allowed to have statues.
17:00I have been given one while still alive.
17:04Praise be your works, Aunt Lydia.
17:07I have been prematurely petrified.
17:15Adniss Mackenzie, how the time goes by.
17:20I have been watching you for quite a while now.
17:24Why, Aunt Lydia?
17:26Soon to be eligible.
17:28May God make me truly worthy.
17:31Ah, you will be rewarded.
17:33If you are free of sin, of course.
17:36Do you know why this statue was erected?
17:41So you can always be watching over us.
17:44Yes.
17:45We inspire the world with our good works, Agnes.
17:48Do you agree?
17:49Yes, Aunt Lydia.
17:51Excellent.
17:52I have good work that needs doing.
17:54Helping a new friend feel welcome.
18:03Agnes, this is Daisy.
18:06One of my precious, precious pearls recently arrived.
18:10Daisy may be joining your class.
18:13She's going to be a plum?
18:16Perhaps.
18:17I'd like you to show her around.
18:19Make her feel comfortable.
18:21Be her shepherdess.
18:23It's an honor for you, Agnes.
18:26Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
18:28Daisy, be a good girl and stay with Agnes.
18:30Lambs, don't stray.
18:33Yes, Aunt Lydia.
18:35Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
18:38Wonderful.
18:39Go in grace.
18:51Blessed fruit.
18:52May the Lord open.
19:03Painting and sketching.
19:05Yes.
19:11Music classroom.
19:19Comportments this way.
19:20Domestic management is upstairs with Aunt L'Oreal.
19:23Hospitality, decorating, culinary arts.
19:27Fiber arts, like embroidery, lace making.
19:31You can make a tablecloth, if you dare.
19:34And scripture class.
19:36Praise be his word.
19:40Weirdo.
19:42Aunt Lydia didn't tell me much about you.
19:46Did she tell you anything about me?
19:50Nothing.
19:51Miss Agnes.
20:02Did she ask you to watch me?
20:06Of course.
20:07Miss Agnes.
20:10To learn how to behave properly.
20:15Discipline and corrections are in the on-swing.
20:17You only go there when you earn it.
20:24And lunch.
20:25Blessed be his bounty.
20:32This is the dining room.
20:33Quite obviously.
20:39You cannot be mistress of a house unless you are the mistress of yourself.
20:46Do you understand me, girls?
20:48Yes, Aunt Vidala.
20:51It is an offense to God to waste food with poor preparation.
20:55If your meal is unacceptable, speak firmly to your Martha.
21:00Do you understand me, girls?
21:03Yes, Aunt Vidala.
21:05Friends, let us give thanks to him.
21:13God is great.
21:15God is good.
21:16Thank you, God, for our food.
21:18By his blessings, we are fed.
21:20Give us, Lord, our daily bread.
21:22Amen.
21:26Girls, you may socialize.
21:45What is all this, then?
21:47This is Daisy.
21:49Aunt Lydia asked me to make her feel welcome.
21:50Hey, it's a blessing to meet you all.
21:56Get out.
22:07We're enjoying very fine weather.
22:10By God's blessing.
22:15It's a high-pressure system, I think.
22:18Daisy, pray.
22:20Where do you hail from?
22:22Toronto.
22:24Canada.
22:25Miss.
22:26Shunammai.
22:28That's a beautiful name.
22:30It is.
22:33I imagine Canada is very different from Gilead.
22:37Toronto has been forsaken by God and defiled by Satan.
22:43It is suffocating in sin.
22:48So do you miss it?
22:52I pray it will be swallowed whole by the earth.
23:00May he hear your prayer.
23:10Daisy, do you like soft serve ice cream?
23:15Food is one of his miracles.
23:17They have it here.
23:18Strawberry and vanilla.
23:20Hold up, we'll take you.
23:22Yeah, I can make you a swirl cone.
23:24I'm sort of an expert.
23:26Aunt Lydia urged me to stay with Miss Agnes.
23:28Ice cream is definitely one of his miracles.
23:32And you wouldn't want to insult God.
23:37You should get some.
23:39Come on.
23:44Come on.
23:56They stuck you with the pearl girl.
23:58What did you do wrong?
23:59She didn't do anything.
24:01This is unprecedented.
24:03So what did Aunt Lydia say?
24:05She said she's new here.
24:08I'm just supposed to be a shepherdess.
24:10I don't like her.
24:10She didn't seem very nice.
24:11Well, you can't trust her.
24:12She'll tell Aunt Lydia everything.
24:14She's a pearl girl.
24:15She's a pearl girl.
24:17Becca?
24:18Your martha is here to collect you.
24:21Yes, honest day.
24:25Am I fitting?
24:27Pray for me.
24:28I wish I was green this season.
24:30I wish we all were together.
24:34It's starting to move very, very fast.
24:38It's a dress.
24:39Not a husband.
24:42Not yet.
24:43Well, I can't wait to have a husband.
24:45Becca, pray.
24:46Come along.
24:46Shake a leg.
24:48Go in grace.
24:51In grace, I go.
25:01Oh, please.
25:07Girls.
25:10You should tell on her.
25:12You're a pearl girl.
25:14For what?
25:15Just say that she gossips or has a foul tongue.
25:18Sure.
25:18Or that she ran off to go get ice cream.
25:20That could be possible.
25:21She'd be punished.
25:23You're an awful person.
25:24Stop.
25:25I didn't say to make her a gender traitor or anything.
25:28Just something small.
25:32Agnes.
25:33I know that you are very, very nice.
25:36But it's time to plumb up and get her before she gets you.
25:59Cinnamon toast.
26:01Praise be his bounty.
26:07is it awful ah god never sends us more than we can bear sometimes we just get close though
26:18becca had her final fitting she must be happy to be getting a new dress

29:39Assembly time, my plums. Two lines. Two lines. Posture, Agnes. I'm sorry, Abba Dollar.
29:53Plums, please assemble in the dining hall.
29:55Hurry along.
29:56Hey, Miss, to your classes. Cha-cha.
30:25Let's take this, Agnes.
30:49Blessed day. How was it? May the Lord open. Fine.
30:56Shut up. It was fine. I feel like Puffy's leaves.
31:08Blessed day, graceful friends. We need your energy because we have some difficult work
31:14to do today. For him. Are you ready?
31:24Yes, our best one, our best one.
31:36Hello, someone's in trouble.
31:38Good. He's the gross one.
31:42This man is a sinner. Hidden amongst us. He was found touching himself. Abusing himself. On school grounds.
31:52Gilead trusted him to protect you, God's most precious girls. Instead, he chose wickedness.
32:01We do not play with the power of creation.
32:05What are they gonna do to him?
32:07Quiet. He deserves our judgment. Do not relish in it.
32:11You are not blameless, girls. Shame upon any of you that tempt a man.
32:19Now, this is your decision. You will have to make many difficult decisions when you are wives.
32:27So what do you say, girls? Should this man go unpunished?
32:35Or should we pay?
32:38Quiet!
33:04I am so proud of the women you are becoming.
33:11Quiet!
33:17Quiet!
33:19Quiet!
33:25Oh, my God!
33:29Hey!
33:30Quiet!
33:32Quiet!
33:34Quiet!
33:35Quiet!
33:36No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!
33:40Oh, my God.
33:41Craig, are you okay?
33:43I'm fine.
33:45Praise be your concern.
33:47That's all!
34:06Oh, my God.
34:09Daisy?
34:10Daisy?
34:15Fuck.
34:16What the fuck was that?
34:17They broke the rules.
34:19They cut it off.
34:20I saw his arm.
34:22Jesus Christ, he was fucking wide awake.
34:24For fuck's sake.
34:25Jesus, what the fuck?
34:31I'm sorry.
34:33Agnes.
34:35Agnes.
34:36Don't.
34:37Don't tell.
34:39Oh, sweetie.
34:41Agnes, help Daisy get cleaned up.
34:43Oh, my God.
35:00I'll never ask for you.
35:02How do you feel?
35:05How do you feel?
35:06They told us about assemblies.
35:12But I didn't think it'd be like that.
35:15Like what?
35:26Thank you for taking care of me.
35:32When Aunt Lydia gives you an assignment, you do it.
35:37Miss Agnes, I am so sorry. I committed blasphemy.
35:43You were unwell.
35:45I took his name in vain. Agnes, there is no excuse.
35:51I know I must confess.
35:54Okay.
35:57Aunt Lydia is in charge of punishing pro-girls.
36:02Okay?
36:06Praise be her discipline.
36:09I need to learn.
36:17Do you think she'll cut out my tongue?
36:21There are stories.
36:24I know. Not for this.
36:26Probably not.
36:30Okay.
36:33If it's God's will.
36:35If it's God's will.
36:37If it's God's will.
36:38If it's God's- I can't. Agnes, I can't.
36:41It's okay.
36:43You don't have to.
36:46You don't have to.
36:48It was just us.
36:50I know.
36:51You don't have to.
36:58You don't have to.
37:03You don't have to.
37:06No.
37:07I know, you don't have to.
37:07God sees our sins.
37:14We'll pray together.
37:16We'll show contrition.
37:20God is merciful
37:23Beyonce, not so much sometimes
37:28Are you sure?
37:33Our secret
37:43Shunemite said Daisy was dangerous
37:45She was right, of course
37:48She said you should never, ever trust a pearl girl
37:52But that was exactly what I did
38:05Blessed night, my pearls
38:09May God protect you
38:10What?
38:12What?
38:14What?
38:17How was that?
38:19What?
38:20What?
38:25Oh, my God.
39:10Oh, my God.
39:21You're in the right place.
39:22For our Mayday heroes behind the lines, tonight's messages are on channel 99.2.
39:28And remember, folks, don't let the bastards cry.
39:33Red Dog, Green House, White Barn, you have packages waiting.
39:37If you're in the Paperclip Club, sit tight.
39:40That's it for tonight.
40:14Oh, my life is changing every day.
40:20Every bust of the way.
40:28But all of my dreams was never quite as a teen.
40:36Never quite as a teen.
40:43I know I felt like this before.
40:47But now I'm feeling it even more.
40:51Because it came from me.
40:57When I open up and see the person falling here is made.
41:05A different way of living.
41:32A different way of living.
41:35But I remember the nights were getting shorter.
41:38The shorebirds were back.
41:40You could hear them really high up.
41:42A sure sign of spring.
41:45I didn't know who my mom was yet.
41:48My real mom.
41:51That would come soon.
41:54I had no idea how much that would change things.
41:59Without calendars, you learn to mark time in other ways.
42:02It was when I became eligible.
42:05And when I met Daisy.
42:08It was when it all started.
42:12To the amazing mind.
42:16To the amazing mind.
42:17To understanding and to find.
42:21To give everything to me.
42:28Oh, my life.
42:32You're changing every day.
42:36In every possible way.
42:43And oh, my dreams.
42:47It's never quite as it seems.
42:50Cause you're a dream to me.
42:54Dream to me.
42:56I'm young.
43:14And oh, me.
43:23Love.
43:24Love.
43:25Love.
