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.
01:39應該 lay upon you.
01:42I know.
01:47Friends, remember what he tells us in Leviticus.
01:51If a man does harm, so shall it be done to him.
01:57An eye for an eye.
01:59An eye for an eye.
02:01A tooth for a tooth.
02:03A 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.
02:39And 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.
03:14I know.
03:24I don't know.
03:28I know.
03:29I know.
03:46Blessed be his miracle.
03:49Ah, Daisy, a miracle indeed.
03:53What a day this is.
03:56As he blessed Leah and Ruth, he too has saved me from barrenness and, um, and, um, I got my
04:10period.
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.
04:35Praise 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.
04:58All the Pearl Girls are.
05:00Don't forget that.
05:01She's waiting for you to mess up so she can rat you out.
05:04You don't know her.
05:05I know you've changed ever since she's been around.
05:09Can'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, our Daisy has been rewarded with monarchy.
05:31Blessed be the fruit.
05:33Blessed be the fruit.
05:36Our Daisy chose to leave the sinful world behind and 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.
06:01I love you so much.
06:03I love you so much.
06:05I love you, girl.
06:05And all they can say is, he's not your kind.
06:10They'll never get tired of putting me down.
06:12And I never know when I come around what I'm going to find.
06:18Don't let them wake up your mind.
06:22Don't you look good.
06:35Don't let them wake up your mind.
06:43Don't let them wake up your mind.
06:47my mom always told me the purple was my power color i didn't know what she meant
06:52until now will you do us the honor with god's grace

08:00that is very kind of you agnes let's go
08:10so
08:36Agnes, hello.
08:38Dr. Grove, our newly blessed pearl girl.
08:43Daisy, I'm ready for you now.
09:02You're from Canada, I take it.
09:05Mm-hmm.
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 and we're gonna 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 so we can send you off to your husband
10:16with a shiny set of pearly gates.
10:19Until then, floss.
10:30That's it?
10:32Yeah.
10:46Are you okay?
10:46No.
10:46No.
10:46No.
10:59No.
11:14Help.
11:15No.
11:16Why is it here?
11:18He tried to touch me.
11:20He tried to touch me.
11:20Please.
11:21Please.
11:21Please protect me.
11:22even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no
11:25evil cuz I know he is with me even though I walk through the valley of the
11:28shadows of death I will fear no evil because I know he is with me even if I
11:32walked through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil because I know he is with
11:36me
11:40Daisy we've listened to your testimony coming from Toronto perhaps you are
11:46confused about no now I'm not confused it was pretty clear when he grabbed my
11:52hand and put it on his penis. Pray forgive me for my graphic description, but I
11:58think it is important that I be clear. I come from outside Gilead, as Aunt Vidala
12:06said. I know sin when I see it.
12:14That is sufficient for now. Aunt 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. I pray he's brought to justice.
12:44It was fortunate that he was so reckless as to tear your blouse, and with witnesses.
12:54Lust makes men reckless.
12:56I'm choosing not to think on it too deeply. Instead, I thank the Lord for shining his
13:03light on Dr. Grove's evil. You may go.
13:19Daisy. I'm so sorry. I couldn't protect you from sin. Please find it in your heart to forgive me for
13:29my failure.
13:30I forgive you. I never noticed Aunt Esti's eyes before. So blue. It's easy to forget the ants are human
13:40too.
13:41And you.
13:46I'm so sorry, Daisy.
13:49I'm so sorry, Daisy.
14:00Are you okay?
14:02I'm fine. I 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.
14:26The rest of them, they'd do anything to fit in.
14:32But you don'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.
14:46What 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'm on clean up tonight.
15:06Still?
15:07But, but you're a plum now.
15:10Or a green now.
15:13I'm an experiment.
15:37I'll have to go.
15:42Oof.
15:46I have to go.
15:55I'm going to go.
15:56I'm so sorry.
15:59I was going to go.
15:59I'm going to go.
16:00I can't wait to do anything but I'm on board.
16:00The other one will be on board.
16:03You will be on board.
16:27Come in.
16:28Come 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.
16:47And Lydia and I are well suited to deal with this matter ourselves.
16:53Under his eye.
17:02I had heard rumors about Grove, but I put it down to idle gossip.
17:09Alas, here we are.
17:10Here we are.
17:11Then 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. My apologies.
17:59Not necessary. I know he's a busy man.
18:05Have you thought about the ceremony? What scripture recitation you might like?
18:09Well, um, I defer to your family.
18:12Oh.
18:14Something from Ecclesiastes, perhaps.
18:20The roast will surely be cold by now. I'm so sorry.
18:23No, really. I don't mind.
18:27Dear?
18:31Sorry, I was, um, held up with a work matter.
18:38Please excuse me. I'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 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 gonna be resolved.
20:27I've already reached out to Commander Jen.
20:30I-I should go.
20:31Seems you have much on your minds.
20:32My apologies.
20:33No, no, not at all.
20:34Uh, blessed be your evening.
20:37Dr. Grove?
20:37Son.
20:57I told her.
20:58Don't touch my towels if 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 or are you just crazy?
21:09Come on, she's evil.
21:10I told you she's evil!
21:11Come on, 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?
21:31Talk about that.
21:34She's a liar.
21:36You were there.
21:37I wasn't.
21:37She was...
21:39distraught.
21:40Why are you defending her?
21:41After something like that happens, sometimes it's easier to blame everyone else.
21:48What are you saying?
21:53Becca?
21:57What?
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...
22:33To me.
22:36He did it...
22:43He did it...
22:48Inside, both of you.
22:49Now.
22:56girl...
23:17She's not lying.
23:17Edward, you're talking to her.
23:17It's a bad fool.
23:19I'm lying.
23:21You're lying.
23:21What are you doing?
23:21not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves. Let us pray. Purge me in hyssop
23:31and I shall be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Create in me a clean
23:40heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
23:51Let us pray.
23:53Let us pray.
23:55Let us pray.
23:57Let us pray.
23:58Let us pray.
24:01Let us pray.
24:03Let us pray.
24:26You okay?
24:28I'm fine.
24:31Did Grove hurt you?
24:34No.
24:35He's been hurting those girls.
24:38Someone had to step up.
24:40Is he gonna be punished?
24:42All right.
24:45You made it up.
24:47He's been abusing them.
24:50Someone had to do something.
24:52What am I here for then?
24:53Just do what Mayday tells you to do.
24:54Mayday doesn't tell me to do anything.
24:57Except be invisible.
24:58Be a sponge.
24:59I'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 gonna 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.
25:29Is yours overdone?
25:32It's fine.
25:34Mr. Mason said he's expecting a new shipment of beef in the coming weeks.
25:38I know.
25:39I know.
25:39It's expensive.
25:40But 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.
26:37It's impossible.
26:44I sighed.
26:46To each other place?
26:49If wrong, you might believe it will.
26:50I feel like the world's mãe once…
26:54for me. I used to wait for the morning so eagerly. Sometimes 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.
28:18What do I mean?
28:19I was gonna die here in the morning.
28:23I was going to get a loaded gun.
28:38I used to wake to the morning
28:43And feel like the world was a great time
29:20I used to wake up
29:50I used to wake up
29:53I used to wake up
29:58I used to wake up
30:44I used to wake up
30:53I used to wake up
31:18I used to wake up
31:20I used to wake up
31:22I used to wake up
32:07I used to wake up
32:25I used to wake up
32:35I used to wake up
32:51I used to wake up
