The Testaments Season 1 Episode 3
Transcript
00:00Do anything.
00:00Well, you can't trust her.
00:02It's time to blow up.
00:03And get her before she gets here.
00:06I committed blasphemy.
00:08I know I must confess.
00:10Aunt Lydia said I should stay with you.
00:11You can't come.
00:12Aunt Gabbana, this young woman made a confession.
00:16Tell her what she is, Agnes.
00:18A dirty girl.
00:20Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl!
00:24You heard my blasphemy?
00:26Corrections are a lot for you.
00:28Assembly is a lot for you.
00:29Maybe serving God is just too much for you.
00:31Why did you come here?
00:33Why don't you just go back home?
00:34Not everyone has a home to go back to.
00:36This is Radio Free Boston.
00:38For our May Day heroes behind the lines,
00:40tonight's messages are on channel 99.2.
00:43Red Dog, Green House, White Barn,
00:46you have packages waiting.
00:48If you're in the paperclip club, sit tight.
00:50That's it for tonight.
00:52And remember folks,
00:53don't let the bastards grind you down.
01:08We'll see you soon.
01:12I am so sorry.
01:19I'm sorry, so do you have a lot of men.
01:26I never do.
01:27I am so sorry.
01:28The leaves are brown, and the sky is gray, and the heavens are coming for a long time.
01:44Be safe and wide, be safe and low, if I wasn't helping, if I wasn't helping, California, California.
01:57You've asked me to explain how I got involved in this insane story, how I wound up in Gilead.
02:05I kept asking myself those questions too, especially during those early ass mornings.
02:11Well, I got my mind, I got my mind, I got my mind, I didn't have time to break, like
02:19a tent.
02:20You know the future, like the future, like the cold, no, some love to stay.
02:37Back in Toronto, we'd studied Gilead in school.
02:41Our teacher said that even though it seemed like Gilead happened overnight,
02:45there were signs of what was coming.
02:47Candidates running for office had said things openly.
02:51About women, about gays, but they still were elected.
02:56People thought they were speaking in hyperbole.
02:59Now women can't have jobs, or phones, or read books.
03:03And gay people, well, you know what happened to them.
03:25Back home, I used to use honey in my tea.
03:29I don't do that anymore.
03:44We can leave some pamphlets here, for anyone who wants to learn more.
03:47Gilead welcomes all of God's children.
03:50Sure, I'll keep a few out.
03:51Bless you, ma'am. You're very kind.
03:53A gift.
03:55For your generosity.
04:07Why are you so nice to those freaks?
04:09Why be cruel?
04:10Because their country sucks, and they hate women?
04:13Help me with this, would you?
04:15Hmm.
04:16What's that?
04:17I can almost hear the bed bugs.
04:19Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
04:21Did you get this stuff on my list?
04:22All that junk food?
04:24Yeah.
04:24Wasn't a nutrient in there.
04:27How was school?
04:28Fine.
04:30Justin and I passed a social studies quiz.
04:32Hmm, things are getting serious, huh?
04:34Dad, because we passed a quiz.
04:36Because we're a we now.
04:38Going upstairs.
04:39Should we get dinner started?
04:40We should, and we shall.
04:42Do you want me to set up an appointment with Dr. Lin?
04:46God, Mom, we're not having sex.
04:48Okay, that's cool.
04:50You know, it's cool if you are, too.
04:54I mean, I lost my virginity around your age.
04:57Can we please not do that?
04:58I'm serious.
04:59I speak from experience.
05:01I'm going upstairs.
05:02What?
05:02Why?
05:03I need your help with the new inventory.
05:04But I have to go get ready for all the sex
05:06that we're having with Justin now.
05:09All that hot, sticky sex.
05:14All that sticky sex.
05:30I saw my mom.
05:33Asked me if we were boring.
05:37Okay.
05:40Here.
05:41What did you say?
05:42I said no.
05:44I said you weren't ready.
05:46Yeah.
05:47Yeah, right.
05:52I kind of feel bad lying to her.
05:56I kind of just want to tell her we slept together.
05:59Oh, that was you.
06:00Yeah, yeah.
06:01I thought so.
06:02Yeah.
06:03It was nice.
06:04Oh, funny.
06:06Funny.
06:06Does that mean...
06:09Does that mean every time she sees me,
06:10all she's going to think
06:11is that's the guy that deflowered my daughter?
06:15Oh, ew.
06:16Don't use that term.
06:18No?
06:19Besides, she clearly already thought you had.
06:21Well, it's your mom, so, you know,
06:24you're gone.
06:26Maybe it's a good thing.
06:28I'd honestly rather do it at my house
06:31than Tony's basement.
06:33What?
06:34That old,
06:34the tan couch doesn't get you going?
06:40I'm going to tell her.
06:42And then I'm going to ask
06:44if you can spend the night this weekend.
06:50Okay, well, in case she, you know,
06:52hangs me by the balls and stay.
06:54Yeah?
06:59What is it?
07:00A gift.
07:02For what?
07:04No reason.
07:05I just know you like old things.
07:09Thanks.
07:10Thanks.
07:15This is really fucking cool.
07:19It's a joke.
07:55Come on, step back.
07:57Please step back.
07:58Hey, pull this off.
08:04Mom?
08:05Dad?
08:05Mom?
08:07Mom?
08:08Step back.
08:09Dad?
08:10Walk back.
08:11Get the fuck off me.
08:12Get the fuck off me.
08:13Hey, hey.
08:14That's my parents.
08:15I'm sorry.
08:16My mom and dad.
08:17Sarah.
08:17They're in there.
08:18This is the daughter.
08:19What happened?
08:27Mom!
08:50It's so cold.
08:52It's the glory of God.
08:53We should be more grateful, don't you think?
09:17Gardening classes will be managed by Aunt Estée for the day.
09:20Perhaps we've grown the roses.
09:22They have grown since it last rained.
09:24Very well.
09:25And Aunt Gabbana will continue the hymnal curriculum with the choirs.
09:29How is that coming?
09:30With God's grace, they should be ready by the ball.
09:33God's expectation is that they will be ready by the ball.
09:36Not should.
09:38Of course.
09:39We must also keep an eye on the alto section with the second year in pinks.
09:43Sarah, Rachel, and now Anna are consorting with only one another.
09:47We mustn't allow that to fester.
09:52Daisy, get yourself cleaned up and go find your plum.
09:56There's a field trip this morning.
09:58Yes, Aunt Fodala.
10:03Does Aunt Lydia intend to pair all the pearl girls with a commander's daughter?
10:08God knows.
10:09I imagine most will become a carnal wives.
10:12The whole program confounds me.
10:22Far be it from us to criticize Aunt Lydia's intentions.
10:42Mrs. Judd has graciously opened her home to us.
10:45This is an opportunity to learn.
10:48Especially for you, green girls.
10:55I liked going to the zoo.
10:57Well, we're not ten anymore, hold on.
11:00It'll be fun.
11:01We get to see Penny.
11:03Mrs. Judd.
11:04Mrs. Commander Judd.
11:06She's still Penny.
11:11Lots of adults like going to the zoo, you know.
11:15Heads up.
11:16Dirty girl, come on.
11:18I know.
11:20Blessed be the fruit.
11:22May the Lord open?
11:29We've been sampling weather.
11:30What if you already received the joint?
11:33Single file line.
11:35Punctuality requires order.
11:57Have a blessed day, Miss Agnes.
11:59May the Lord open.
12:04I wasn't surprised she wanted to bone him.
12:07I mean, look at him.
12:10I mean, look at him.
12:10I mean, look at him.
12:54I used to stare at Justin like that.
12:59Every inch of him.
13:01Okay.
13:03That's your guardian, right?
13:06You're being a slut.
13:08What?
13:09Lusting after him so openly.
13:12It's a gateway to hell.
13:14I pray they teach you pearls better than that.
13:17Yeah.
13:18Okay.
13:19Okay.
13:20I'm the slut.
13:23Apologies, Miss Agnes.
13:28Chapin, something ahead.
13:34What's going on?
13:36I don't know.
13:43Chapin here.
13:44What is that?
13:45He's doing something.
13:47I can't tell you.
13:48What's he doing?
13:50They're armed.
13:51Shooters.
13:59We're going to cluster.
14:05We're under attack.
14:06We need backup.
14:07Repeat, we are under attack.
14:08We're going to continue backup.
14:10No!
14:11No!
14:11No!
14:12No!
14:15No!

14:40All right.

14:46In there, go!
14:48Heads down!
14:49Get in the shuttle!
14:51Okay, stay down, we should stop!
14:54Move, move, come on, let's go!
14:56Here we go, sir.
14:57We should stop.
15:28Come on, let's go!
15:42At some.
16:05Hi, I'm Tim.
16:08I'm with social services.
16:10I swear for your loss.
16:12Okay.
16:15I'm sorry, I'm still really stoned.
16:17That's fine.
16:20It's tea.
16:23Do you want a soda?
16:24I need my phone.
16:26The police took it.
16:28Is there anyone I can call for you?
16:29Some family, maybe?
16:30I just want my phone.
16:32Sure, we can sort through all that together.
16:35But we don't have to do that here.
16:37I'll go sign you out real quick and then we'll leave.
16:43Drink your tea.
16:44Don't move.
16:45I don't need it.
17:05No...
17:08No!
17:10No!
17:12No!
17:12No!
17:13No!
17:14you with social services, too.
17:16There's been a change of plan.
17:19I need my phone.
17:20The other guy was getting it.
17:21The other guy?
17:22Yeah, he gave me this tea.
17:25What are you doing?
17:26Come on.
17:27Okay, I'm going back for my stuff.
17:29No.
17:30No, why?
17:31Because you're in danger.
17:32I need to get you out of here.
17:33What?
17:33In danger from what?
17:34Danger from what?
17:35Shh.
17:36Come on.
17:50You're in danger from the people who killed your parents.
17:53The people who robbed the store?
17:54It wasn't a robbery.
17:55Neil and Melanie were murdered.
17:57They were killed, and now you're in danger.
17:59Pardon fucking me what?
18:01You're not from social services?
18:03No, I'm not.
18:04That guy isn't from social services, either.
18:06Look, Daisy, I'm sorry.
18:08No one should have to go through this,
18:10but I need you to trust me.
18:12Who are you?
18:16Come on.
18:30Shit.
18:33Shit.
18:34Shit.
18:38Shit.
18:45I was a friend of your parents.
18:53You've been to the store.
18:55Many times.
19:11What's your name?
19:20June.
19:22My name is June.
19:25Daisy, I need you to go with me.
19:30June, listen, I'm still pretty stoned.
19:34Right.
19:35Okay, fine.
19:37We'll deal with that.
19:38Yeah, come on.
19:39Let's get you somewhere safe.
19:56Thank you for shielding me.
20:02God found a way to make me useful.
20:10Honestly, I was terrified.
20:13Me too.
20:17Hold up.
20:19Does it hurt?
20:20They said that it would heal.
20:22Praise be.
20:23Minimal scarring.
20:25Aunt Vidala's arm is broken.
20:30May he bring her comfort.
20:35Do they know who did it?
20:38Mayday.
20:39Godless animals that the terrible people we're enemies with.
20:43They hate us.
20:46Hold up.
20:48Tell them what else you saw.
20:55They were bandaging a guardian.
20:57The shirt was lifted.
20:59And there was hair on his stomach.
21:02All over.
21:05What do you mean?
21:07It was short and stubbly, almost like when my dad goes his beard out.
21:11That's repulsive.
21:12Yeah, it is.
21:15Do all men have it?
21:20Most men do.
21:23Most grown men.
21:26It depends, I think.
21:29On what?
21:30Godliness.
21:32Genetics.
21:34One of God's mysteries.
21:38How would you know?
21:40Because in Toronto, I had sex with thousands of men.
21:47A real statistical cross-section.
21:51You probably did.
21:55I used to go to the beach.
21:57Like everyone else.
22:00You saw bodies.
22:02Men would go shirtless.
22:05And the hair.
22:07Well, it keeps going.
22:12Lower.
22:13Oh my God.
22:15Oh God, protect us.
22:17I wonder which one of the commanders has it.
22:19Shit.
22:20Shit.
22:22Shit.
22:25Shit.
22:33Shit.
22:37Shit.
22:39Shit.
23:00Is your head any clearer?
23:03Want to eat something?
23:05Can I borrow your phone?
23:06I need to call my boyfriend.
23:07He's going to be like worried.
23:10Why don't you eat something and we can talk about it?
23:13Or let me call my boyfriend and then I'll eat something.
23:16We're not negotiating.
23:22Why would anyone murder my parents?
23:26It was Gilead.
23:28Agents from Gilead.
23:31Agents from Gilead killed my parents?
23:34Mm-hmm.
23:35Why in the fucking world would that be true?
23:47Do you know what May Day is?
23:49Sure.
23:50Learned about when in the school.
23:54Your parents were working with May Day.
23:56They were working with me.
23:58My parents are arm smugglers or something.
24:02They run a vintage store.
24:04My dad doesn't even know how to use spy my friends.
24:06They are the least spy people in the universe.
24:12There are things you don't know about them, Daisy.
24:14You may date to.
24:19They would have told me if they were involved in something like that.
24:22They were planning to.
24:24It's not that easy.
24:26Telling you would put you in a lot of danger.
24:28This is ridiculous.
24:30I want to call my boyfriend.
24:34I need a few hours to arrange to get you out of the city safely.
24:37He's going to find out what happened.
24:40And he's going to think I'm fucking dead.
24:42Daisy.
24:43Okay?
24:43So I need to talk to him.
24:51That part of your life is over.
24:55Okay?
24:57And I'm sorry all this has happened.
25:00I know what it's like to have everything change all at once.
25:08Can I borrow your phone?
25:10No, Daisy.
25:15I need to arrange my parents' funeral.
25:18Can I please use your phone to do that?
25:25No.
25:25No, it's too dangerous.
25:33I think you should eat something.
25:37I'm not hungry.
25:40I'm hungry.
26:09I'm not hungry.
27:02Justin.
27:06Justin.
27:08Justin.
27:09Holy shit.
27:16Are you okay, babe?
27:17Where the fuck have you been?
27:20I missed you so much.
27:23The police have been looking for you.
27:24I've been freaking out for their parents.
27:26Oh, my God.
27:27What happened?
27:28I'll explain everything.
27:31I just need you to, like,
27:33hug me or something first.
27:35Yeah, yeah.
27:36Please.
27:36Okay.
27:37It's okay.
27:38It's okay.
27:38Come here.
27:42It's okay.
27:44How about you?
27:45I can't help you.
27:49What the fuck is saying?
27:55I can't help you.
28:03I'm not sure how about you, man.
28:04I can't help you.
28:05I can't help you.
28:06I can't help you.
28:08I can't help you.
28:15What's your experience?
28:37Oh, wait.
28:41Right now?
28:45I just need to feel more remarkable, please.
28:50Okay?
29:38You need to go to the police.
29:42Can I talk to my parents?
29:43No.
29:45I already explained it to you.
29:48Can you really trust that woman?
29:50I mean, Mayday spies?
29:53Your mom couldn't even remember her phone passcode.
29:56Okay, I mean, come on.
29:59You're grieving.
30:00Of course you are.
30:02But it's messing with your head, making you believe all this crazy shit.
30:14Let's run away.
30:18I'm serious.
30:19I trust you.
30:20I know that.
30:23We could go somewhere.
30:26We could get jobs.
30:28Sell all our shit.
30:36Why is that so funny?
30:41You're freaking out.
30:42And I get that, okay?
30:44I really do.
30:44But, Daisy, you can't just run away.
30:58I'm sorry.
31:04I'm going to wake up my parents, okay?
31:06We'll talk to them, step one.
31:07No, Justin.
31:08It's going to be okay.
31:09I promise.
31:12It wasn't going to be okay, though.
31:14My parents were dead.
31:17It didn't matter what I did.
31:23June was right.
31:25This part of my life was over.
32:16Let me help you.
32:19Why?
32:21Because I know how you're feeling.
32:48Okay.
32:49Come on, let's go.
32:50Come on.
32:50Come on.
32:53Come on.
32:55Come on.
32:55Come on.
32:56Come on.
32:58Come on.
33:04Look at this place.
33:06I'm not seeing this now.
33:08We've been to the same.
33:10Help me.
33:13It had been a week since the bus attack.
33:16Godly girls bounce back so quickly.
33:20Remember, we are Mrs. Judd's guests.
33:24And how to guest show respect?
33:26With good posture.
33:27Straighten up, Constance.
33:40Nice to meet you.
33:46Nice to meet you.
33:47Hi.
33:47I am so happy to see you.
33:50Hi.
33:51This is Daisy.
33:53Hi.
33:54Nice to meet you.
33:55Hi.
33:56Hi.
33:56I can't believe that we've been through.
33:59These gifts.
34:00You're all...
34:01Too much.
34:02This is too much.
34:03Come in.
34:05Your house is so great.
34:07Look at this place.
34:07Come in.
34:13All right.
34:15Can I show you around?
34:17Yes.
34:27Martha.
34:28So, of course, I chose pink for the living room.
34:31It all matches so well.
34:32I love the way it came together.
34:33Flowers.
34:34The only thing is this painting that Michael chose.
34:38We're going to swap it for something else soon.
34:42Let me show you the kitchen.
34:42Come on.
34:49Come on.
34:56The commander's office is down there.
34:58This is his wine cellar.
35:02He's got a Domaine Romain et Conti from 1935.
35:05What's that?
35:06Burgundy.
35:07Very rare.
35:11We have plans to build the nursery next to our room.
35:15I've, um...
35:18I've been feeling ill the past few mornings.
35:21It's in God's hands, but I pray it's his wine.
35:30This way.
35:31I chose these.
35:32This one.
35:33This one reminds me of my mother.
35:37Aren't they cute?
35:38Praise be.
35:42Now, who's hungry?
35:53Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty.
35:59Amen.
36:02Your house is beautiful, Penny.
36:04I should have seen it when I moved in.
36:06Michael is up a decorating creek without a paddle.
36:09Who's Michael?
36:10Commander Chad Holder.
36:11Don't be thick.
36:12I imagine it's a lot to handle.
36:15Being a new wife.
36:17Some days.
36:18But God only sends us what we can bear.
36:21Well, I could wear this.
36:27Don't mind me. I'm just passing through.
36:30This looks fun.
36:32Don't tell on us.
36:34It's just cider.
36:36Your secret's safe with me.
36:42Welcome to our home.
36:44Thank you for having us, Commander, sir.
36:47You all showed the world some Gilead grit last week.
36:51During that attack.
36:54I just hope you know that they're just jealous.
36:57Because we have clean water, and fresh air, and fruitful young women.
37:03And they have pollution and hate.
37:08We love...
37:10We take in God's children.
37:13Wherever they come from.
37:17Blessed evening.
37:20Blessed evening, sir.
37:23Thanks so much for having us.
37:28God, I don't want to put you on the spot.
37:31Just curious why you decided to come to Gilead.
37:36To serve God's will.
37:40Of course.
37:44And there was nothing left for me.
37:49Well, you have a new home now.
37:56Praise be.
38:16Here you are.
38:24The Pearl Girl program was designed to wash away our sins for God.
38:29To let us start anew.
38:33But I was never really a Pearl Girl.
38:36You know that by now.
38:41What the fuck happened?
38:43Was that us?
38:44Was that May Day?
38:49That's what Gilead said.
38:51What do your contacts say?
38:53It was meant to be a retrieval mission.
38:56Retrieval?
38:57Like kidnapping?
38:59Jesus fucking Christ.
39:04What is this?
39:06Map of the school.
39:08You're welcome.
39:14This is good.
39:16Where's it going?
39:18It's not going to be used to hurt those girls, is it?
39:22The girls weren't supposed to get hurt.
39:24That's not comforting.
39:26To know that you guys are just some slobby shit show.
39:29My life is in your hands here.
39:32For fuck's sake.
39:44I need to speak to Jim.
39:47Who's Jim?
40:08Do you want anything else?
40:10No.
40:18So Gilead killed Neela and Melanie.
40:20Mm-hmm.
40:22Because they were working with May Day.
40:25Mm-hmm.
40:27So why does Gilead give a shit?
40:28Why does Gilead want to kill me?
40:32They don't want to kill you.
40:35They want to take you back.
40:37They want to take you back to Gilead.
40:40Why?
40:44Because they think you belong to them.
40:48Because you got away.
40:50And I don't think you guys can agree.
40:53Your parents in Gilead got you out when you were a baby.
40:59Neil and Melanie have never been to Gilead.
41:04That's right, Daisy.
41:13When you got out of Gilead, they would not stop looking for you.
41:18And they were never gonna let you go.
41:21So we had to get you to safety and Neil and Melanie took you in.
41:27No way.
41:30I would have known.
41:33My parents were the shittiest liars in the world.
41:36I would have known.
41:38If I wasn't really theirs.
41:41You were theirs?
41:51When you first got out of Gilead, you would not stop screaming.
41:58No way.
42:01You were just, you were so, you were so little.
42:06And May Day took you to Neil and Melanie in the middle of the night.
42:12And they had no idea you were coming.
42:13You know?
42:14So they didn't have any diapers or a crib or any food for you to eat.
42:20They didn't, they'd never had a baby of their own.
42:23You know?
42:25So, Neil went to the store and Melanie started singing to you.
42:33But you would have none of it.
42:35And you just, nope, just cried and cried.
42:40But Melanie kept singing and singing.
42:46She sang show tunes.
42:50For hours.
42:52Until you finally went to sleep.
42:57You couldn't believe I was so drunk you were.
43:02How do you know that?
43:04Melanie's favorite story.
43:07She told it to me dozens of times.
43:09The story of how you came to them.
43:14Like Harry Potter, she said.
43:22Daisy?
43:26You were theirs.
43:30In all the ways that matter.
43:34And they died because of me.
43:36No.
43:39No.
43:41Gilead killed them.
43:42Okay?
43:45Listen to me.
43:46You are not responsible for that.
43:50You know, just because you say it with conviction,
43:54doesn't make it not bullshit.
44:01Just...
44:02Don't start doing that to yourself, okay?
44:05That kind of thinking is really gonna fuck you up.
44:08Do you understand me?
44:09Not really.
44:15Wait, where are you going?
44:17Stay here.
44:18Just keep ordering coffee.
44:20Someone's gonna come get you.
44:21You're leaving me alone?
44:26You are never alone.
44:30May Day's got you.
44:33We've always had you.
44:38From the beginning.
44:44Don't let the bastards granny down, okay?
44:47Okay?
44:49Sure.
44:51I won't let them.
44:52Millennium.
44:57Let's Racing City with parents,
44:57Oh.
45:11It happens.
45:12Who's gonna live?
45:13What's gonna happen?
45:16I've never departed.
45:16Mother is talking to you at čl race.
45:21She's not together.
47:22Not just any handmaid.
47:24I have to get out of here.
47:25It's too dangerous.
47:26Those who are not with us are against us.
47:30The wicked and enemies of the Lord will perish.
47:33Like smoke, they will drift away.
47:35We'd like your permission to enter.
47:37I need to speak with Aunt Lydia.
47:39Are you going to deny us entering?
47:43It's not necessary.
47:45Take them off.
47:46Aunt Lydia is slowing down.
47:48I think maybe the time has come for you and I to discuss our vision of the future.
47:52I want to destroy Gilead.
47:55I told you, I never wanted any of this.
47:57My parents are going to choose my husband.
47:59Nobody cares what I want.
48:01What's in there?
48:05You?
48:07Hold on, tell me.
48:08You won't say anything?
48:09I promise.
48:10I can't help her!
48:15Agnes, what's going on?
48:17I'm okay.
48:19What did you do?
48:21I might never get my daughter Hannah back, but I will die by day so that she can experience freedom.
48:26You have no idea who I am or what I have been through.
48:29Young lady, do you understand me?
