00:01Previously on The Testaments
00:02They let me decide. I chose Garth.
00:05Congratulations.
00:06Does your pearl girl always have to sit with us?
00:09She's my friend.
00:10I told you, I don't want to marry anyone.
00:12I want to jump off a cliff.
00:14I know Huldah spoke to you and cast some aspersions
00:16upon one of the upstanding men in our community.
00:19I had a cleaning with Dr. Grove.
00:21He took my hand.
00:23He pressed it against his body.
00:25I didn't... I didn't know what to do.
00:27You need to tell the aunts.
00:28No. No, I can't.
00:31The aunts will freak out and then help you.
00:33Everyone will know.
00:34After our talk, she realized she was confused.
00:38It was her own ill imagination at work.
00:41She made a mistake.
00:42Do you agree?
00:44What's in there?
00:46You?
00:47Even a pearl girl gets her period before I do?
00:49Please don't tell anyone.
00:50I need you to get me out of here.
00:52If the aunts find out, they'll marry me off.
00:54I'm done.
00:55There is no done.
00:56Less a day, girls.
00:58We'll get you in tip-top shape at your appointment next week.
01:01She's telling the truth.
01:02I'm sure of it.
01:03I'm very sure.
01:05Enemies of the Lord will perish.
01:07Like smoke, they will drift away.
01:10But Aunt Lydia, what...
01:11They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength.
01:15He did things to me.
01:16I'm so sorry that happened to you.
01:18You're the only one I can tell.
01:20I know.
01:21I'm really glad you told me.
01:24I know.
01:25I know.
01:37I know.
01:39Hey, look.
01:40Take a look.
01:46Cheerio.
01:47Friends, remember what he tells us in Leviticus.
01:51If a man does harm, so shall it be done to him.
01:55So shall it be done to him
01:57An eye for an eye
01:59An eye for an eye
02:00A tooth for a tooth
02:02A tooth for a tooth
02:05A hand for a hand
02:07A hand for a hand
02:14Gilead has a real hard-on for vengeance.
02:17Back home, Melanie always said,
02:20An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
02:23But in Gilead, they love taking the Old Testament literally.
02:28It seems shocking and violent at first.
02:31But then, you start to appreciate that style of justice for all its possibilities.
02:38And it starts to give you ideas.
02:43Reckless ones.
02:45Another season with no match for Maddox.
02:49Did he make a fuss?
02:50Of course, but I assured him he'd get the cream of next year's crop.
02:55Though he's getting on in years.
02:57Who knows if he'll be here.
03:01Oh, how odd.
03:02The plums went home hours ago.
03:11I'd love to see you.
03:15I don't know.
03:17Oh, how old are you?
03:18I'm busy.
03:20No.
03:21Want a shave.
03:21You bring him home.
03:22Give him home.
03:23Why don't you pick them up?
03:24Why you hustling?
03:26Because he's hearing no other because he's trying to stab.
03:27I don't know.
03:27I don't know.
03:27I don't know.
03:28Yeah, I'm pretty.
03:29Why I'm so excited that he's trying to get.
03:31Can you.
03:46Blessed be his miracle.
03:49Ah, Daisy, a miracle indeed.
03:53What a day this is.
03:56As he blessed Leah and Ruth,
03:59he too has saved me from barrenness and, um,
04:06and, um,
04:09I got my period.
04:14Your blessing is a blessing upon us all.
04:18This is the Pearl Girl promise.
04:21May it give you hope.
04:22Trust in him and more of this will follow.
04:26Tomorrow, you'll join the plums.
04:29Praise be his miracle.
04:31Praise be his miracle.
04:40Blessed morning.
04:41Good morning, girls.
04:49You and Daisy seem close these days.
04:54She's a spy.
04:57For Aunt Lydia.
04:59All the Pearl Girls are.
05:00Don't forget that.
05:01She's waiting for you to mess up so she can rat you out.
05:05You don't know her.
05:06I know you've changed ever since she's been around.
05:10Can't that be a good thing?
05:12It's not.
05:15I never see you.
05:16You see me every day.
05:18You never come over my house anymore.
05:21Girls, I bring wonderful news of yesterday.
05:25Under your pious influence,
05:28our Daisy has been rewarded with monarchy.
05:31Blessed be the fruit.
05:33Blessed be the fruit.
05:35Our Daisy chose to leave the sinful world behind
05:39and to join Gilead.
05:41You girls are her family now.
05:43So would you be so kind as to plumb her up?
05:46Oh, my God.
05:48She's so great.
05:49She's getting her love.
05:54Girl, you'll be a woman soon.
06:01I love you so much.
06:03Can't count all the ways I've died for you, girl
06:05And all they can say is
06:06He's not your kind
06:10They'll never get tired of putting it down
06:12And I never know when I come around
06:15What I'm gonna find
06:18Don't let them wake up your mind
06:22Don't you look good
06:26You'll be a woman soon
06:32Please
06:35Come take my hand
06:40Girl
06:43You'll be a woman soon
06:47My mom always told me that purple was my power color.
06:51I didn't know what she meant
06:52Until now.
06:54Will you do us the honor?
06:56With God's grace.
07:03Oh, I'm so sorry.
07:21What happened to your plan?
07:23I decided to just tell them
07:24Let's rip it off
07:26I couldn't hide it forever
07:27I told you that
07:30Wait a minute.
07:31Everyone knew?
07:32Daisy, come with me.
07:34I'm taking you to see the dentist
07:37Now?
07:40I didn't think it'd be so soon
07:42Well, Dr. Grove had a last-minute cancellation
07:45Come.
07:45No time to waste
07:46You'll be having a lot of appointments now
07:48Starting with the dentist
07:53Okay
07:54May I go with her?
07:57Like you said, she doesn't have any family here
08:00That is very kind of you, Agnes
08:02I don't get into this
08:03Let's go
08:04Let's go
08:05Let's go
08:06All right
08:09Let's go
08:11Let's go
08:15Let's go
08:30Let's go
08:36Agnes, hello.
08:38Dr. Grove, our newly blessed pearl girl.
08:42Daisy, ready for you now.
09:02You're from Canada, I take it.
09:06Their technique for fillings is so primitive.
09:10Tell your head a little more to the left for me, please.
09:13You know, it's not very often we get a foreign girl reaching monarchy.
09:18God must have some great plans in store for you.
09:34Rinse.
09:48Spit.
09:56You have been a bad girl.
10:01You need to floss more.
10:03And we're going to keep an eye on those old fillings.
10:05Other than that, your teeth are just fine.
10:11Now we will make another appointment for you before next season
10:15so we can send you off to your husband with a shiny set of pearly gates.
10:19Until then, floss.
10:30That's it?
10:32Yeah.
11:01You're okay?
11:15Help.
11:15Why is it, dear?
11:18He tried to touch me. He tried to touch me.
11:20Please, please, please protect me.
11:22Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
11:25I will fear no evil because I know he is with me.
11:27Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the death,
11:29I will fear no evil because I know he is with me.
11:31Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
11:34I will fear no evil because I know he is with me.
11:36Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
11:40Daisy, we've listened to your testimony.
11:44Coming from Toronto, perhaps you are confused about...
11:47No. No. I'm not confused.
11:50It was pretty clear when he grabbed my hand and put it on his penis.
11:55Pray forgive me for my graphic description,
11:58but I think it is important that I be clear.
12:02I come from outside Gilead, as Aunt Vidala said.
12:07I know sin when I see it.
12:14That is sufficient for now.
12:16Aunt Vidala, Aunt Esti, thank you.
12:22Daisy, would you stay a moment, please?
12:33I'm sorry this ungodly event occurred.
12:37Yes, Aunt Lydia.
12:41I pray he is brought to justice.
12:43It was fortunate that he was so reckless as to tear your blouse,
12:48and with witnesses.
12:54Lust makes men reckless.
12:56I'm choosing not to think on it too deeply.
13:00Instead, I thank the Lord for shining his light on Dr. Grove's evil.
13:07You may go.
13:19Daisy.
13:21I'm so sorry.
13:23I couldn't protect you from sin.
13:26Please find it in your heart to forgive me for my failure.
13:30I forgive you.
13:33I never noticed Aunt Esti's eyes before.
13:36So blue.
13:37It's easy to forget the ants are human too.
13:41And you.
13:47I'm so sorry, Daisy.
14:00Are you okay?
14:02I'm fine.
14:04I just told them what happened.
14:07And they believed you.
14:09I was pretty clear.
14:12Hopefully he gets what he deserves.
14:19What?
14:22You're not a pearl girl.
14:27The rest of them, they'd do anything to fit in.
14:32But you...
14:34don't seem to care that this could ruin everything for you.
14:40Everything you came here for.
14:42I don't know what you're talking about.
14:44Which makes me wonder, what did you come here for?
14:49He hurt you.
14:51And Hulda.
14:52And you.
14:53What?
14:53And you.
14:54He hurt you too, right?
14:56Right.
14:58Exactly.
15:02I need to go.
15:04I want clean up tonight.
15:06Still?
15:07But you're a plum now.
15:10Or a green now.
15:13I'm an experiment.
15:18I got one.
15:31And what?
15:47I don't think it was either.
15:53I don't know.
16:27Come in.
16:31Commander, I appreciate you coming on such short notice.
16:35What a terrible business.
16:37Thank you, Aunt Vidala. You may go.
16:39Perhaps I should stay. Extra hands make for lighter work.
16:44That won't be necessary.
16:46Aunt Lydia and I are well-suited to deal with this matter ourselves.
16:53Hunter is I.
17:02I had heard rumors about Grove, but I put it down to idle gossip.
17:09Alas, here we are.
17:10Here we are.
17:11And you say there are others to report similar trespasses?
17:14Two others.
17:15I think a salvaging is in order.
17:18That way your girls get their pound of flesh.
17:21Yes, but Grove's daughter Rebecca is to be married soon.
17:25Perhaps we can delay his fate until after she's wed.
17:29I would hate to see her future jeopardized because of her father's sins.
17:33Understood.
17:34I've asked those who witnessed the event to stay silent, but of course the longer we wait, the more likely
17:39people are to talk.
17:44What a pity.
17:47He was such a good dentist.
17:53He's not usually so late.
17:55I can't imagine what could be keeping Becca's father.
17:58My apologies.
17:59Not necessary.
18:00I know he's a busy man.
18:05Have you thought about the ceremony?
18:07What scripture recitation you might like?
18:09Oh, well, um, I defer to your family.
18:12Oh.
18:14Something from Ecclesiastes, perhaps.
18:20The roast will surely be cold by now.
18:22I'm so sorry.
18:23No, really.
18:24I don't mind.
18:27Dear?
18:31Sorry, I was, um, held up with a work matter.
18:38Please excuse me.
18:39I'm not feeling my best.
18:43If you'll excuse me, too.
18:50Honey?
19:04I don't really like scotch.
19:07Don't mention I said that to your mother.
19:14Hey.
19:16I wouldn't worry.
19:18It's probably just some commander who doesn't like his veneers.
19:24You know, uh, one time my father came storming into the house,
19:29and he slammed the front door so hard,
19:32my mother's favorite vase fell off the table and completely shattered.
19:36She didn't know what was wrong, so she told me to go check on him.
19:42What was the matter?
19:46You've really needed to use the bathroom.
19:56Mom?
19:58What's wrong?
20:01Something happened at the office today.
20:03Richard, we have company.
20:05He'll hear soon enough.
20:06And I have nothing to be ashamed of.
20:09A mentally unstable patient came in today.
20:13Uh, a pearl girl who became a plum.
20:16Daisy?
20:17She made baseless accusations.
20:22I never laid a hand on her.
20:25So this is all going to be resolved.
20:27I've already reached out to Commander Jen.
20:30I should go.
20:31Seems you have much on your mind.
20:32My apologies.
20:33No, no, not at all.
20:34Blessed be your evening, Dr. Grove.
20:37Son.
20:57Oh, I told her, don't touch my towels
20:59if you don't know how to fold them right.
21:00Well, how did she fold them wrong?
21:04You!
21:05Whoa!
21:06You liar!
21:07Are you trying to ruin my life
21:08or are you just crazy?
21:09Come on, she's evil.
21:10I told you she's evil.
21:12Come on!
21:21Sketch us.
21:23It'll last longer.
21:26Girls!
21:27Has there been strife?
21:28I heard raised voices.
21:30Raised voices, Uncle Bala.
21:34She's a liar.
21:36You were there.
21:37I wasn't.
21:38She was distraught.
21:40Why are you defending her?
21:42After something like that happens,
21:43sometimes it's easier to blame everyone else.
21:48What are you saying?
21:53Becca?
21:57Did he touch you?
21:58What?
22:00No.
22:03He didn't touch anyone.
22:05I told you, she's a liar.
22:10She's not lying.
22:18How do you know?
22:27He did it to me.
22:48Inside, both of you.
22:50Now.
23:16Gossip is dangerous.
23:21Those who do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves.
23:26Let us pray.
23:30Purge me in hyssop and I shall be clean.
23:34Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
23:39Create in me a clean heart, O God.
23:43And renew a right spirit within me.
24:27Are you okay?
24:29I'm fine.
24:31Did Grove hurt you?
24:33No.
24:35He's been hurting those girls.
24:38Someone had to step up.
24:40Is he going to be punished?
24:45You made it up.
24:47He's been abusing them.
24:50Someone had to do something.
24:52What am I here for then?
24:53To do what Mayday tells you to do.
24:55Mayday doesn't tell me to do anything.
24:57Except be invisible.
24:58Be a sponge.
25:00I'm tired of being a sponge.
25:01So you decided you knew better?
25:02I decided I was going to protect those girls.
25:05Because no one else was going to do it.
25:08You know what?
25:21They say reheated meat can be chewy, but I think it came out just fine.
25:26I thought it would be a pity for it to go to waste.
25:28Is yours overdone, Mr. Deer?
25:32It's fine.
25:34Mr. Mason said he's expecting a new shipment of beef in the coming weeks.
25:38I know, I know.
25:39It's expensive, but I thought it might be nice to have filet at the wedding.
25:44Or do you think roasted salmon and asparagus might be better for a summer affair?
25:48Say something.
25:58Is it true?
26:00Of course not.
26:02I didn't lay a finger on that pearl girl.
26:09Don't worry, sweetheart.
26:11I'm sure Commander Judd will see to it that that girl is punished.
26:14All of this will soon be behind us.
26:18Before you go to bed tonight, I put together a few more bouquets for you to look at.
26:22The sweet peas are a very nice accent.
26:44I used to wait for the morning and feel like the world was created for me.
26:58I used to wait for the morning so eagerly.
27:05Sometimes I just couldn't sleep.
27:13Last week I wondered if dying would feel like the stories the Catholic Church told.
27:26But I used to talk to my mother about how I just couldn't wait to get old.
28:01I used to lie when I met the People in my pastor while I was told.
28:03And they added food to the publicresh how they were.
28:20I don't know.
28:38I used to wake to the morning and feel like the world was clear to me.
29:34I used to wake up.
30:05I used to wake up.
30:06I used to wake up.
30:10Zola!
30:11What?
30:25I used to wake up.
30:46He can't hurt you anymore.
30:52Becca, what did you do?
30:57It's divine justice.
31:16I think maybe we should get you cleaned up.
31:18Okay?
31:21Okay.
31:26Zola.
31:27Okay.
31:37Okay.
32:03Is the water warm enough?
32:07I did God's work.
32:10I know.
32:12And for you.
32:16I know.
32:17I know.
32:18It's a strange sound.
32:22Like a sucking sound.
32:26Like pulling your arm out of mud maybe.
32:31What is a shears?
32:37Hey.
32:39Let's run away.
32:43Tonight.
32:45Before anyone can find out.
32:49Where do we go?
32:50I don't care.
32:52I don't care.
32:53Anyone can go anywhere.
32:54Just you and me.
33:05Okay.
33:08Let me go get Zola.
33:10Okay.
33:10She'll get you some clean clothes.
33:13Agnes.
33:17I would do anything for you.
34:00You need help, Beck.
34:03I'm sorry.
34:04I had to tell them.
34:05Don't be scared, dear.
34:05Don't be scared, dear.
34:06We're going to take care of you.
34:13Your fiancé is here.
34:15He's bringing you to a doctor.
34:17I don't need one.
34:20It's okay.
34:23Come with me.
34:32Go with him.
34:54I don't know what I'm going to say.
34:57That's all for me.
34:59I'm not going to be scared.
34:59Sorry.
35:04I'll take care of you.
35:05Who did it go?
35:10I'm sorry.
35:18No.
35:20No.
35:21No.
35:22No.
35:23No!
35:24No!
35:25No!
35:25No!
35:26No!
35:31Agnes!
35:33Please!
35:35Agnes, don't look.
35:37Of course he did.
35:40I stopped. Stop.
35:41I really thought you were sending her to the doctor.
35:43Agnes!
35:45Help! Please!
35:47Help! Agnes!
35:49Please!
35:50Help! Agnes!
35:53Please! Don't let them take it!
35:56No! Agnes!
35:57Agnes!
35:58Agnes!
35:59No! No!
36:01No!
36:12No!
36:13No!
36:22No!
36:23No!
36:24No!
36:31No!
36:32No!
36:33No!
36:34No!
36:35No!
36:36No!
36:39No!
36:42No!
36:45No!
