00:00Weston?
00:01Weston runs the eyes, my Martha says.
00:03Have you gotten any matches?
00:05Commander Chapin.
00:06Who is he?
00:07My guardian.
00:08Please don't marry him.
00:09I don't get to choose any of this!
00:11I don't want to marry anyone!
00:12He's your match, right?
00:14Yeah, that's him.
00:15They're investigating the Mayday attack.
00:17I overheard my father this morning.
00:18No! No! No! No! No! No!
00:21I have my first green appointment today, with the tailor.
00:24And then soon your dad should get my teeth whitened.
00:27You are not flameless, girls!
00:29Shame upon any of you that tempt a man!
00:34Do you have a nice visit with Becca?
00:38I have to say, Agnes is very impressive.
00:41Is there anything you'd like to ask me?
00:42I only hope I can measure up to your expectations of a wife.
01:00Any one has ever had a heart?
01:06And turn around and break it.
01:11And any one has ever played a heart?
01:17And turn around and hate it.
01:21I had a rich fantasy life.
01:24Even in Gilead, that was possible.
01:27The only difference here was that I believed that God knew about it.
01:31And judged me.
01:59Becca was going to marry Garth.
02:02I wasn't supposed to know yet, but Paula let it slip, so I found out before the others.
02:09When I first heard, my chest started burning like I was swallowing hot wax.
02:14Like I was being scraped raw from the inside.
02:17I guess I was.
02:27But I couldn't be angry at Becca.
02:30She didn't have a choice.
02:32None of us did.
02:40Welcome to my engagement.
02:42Praise be his mercy.
02:44Mastery, girl.
02:46I have to glue the plate back together before my wedding.
02:49The remade plate is more precious because it's been lovingly restored.
02:54Destruction and resurrection.
02:57Congratulations, Dr. Petroval.
02:59Sweetheart.
03:01Okay.
03:02Picture time.
03:04Come up.
03:04Yes, I'm up.
03:05Yes, yes.
03:06Right over there.
03:07In the tear.
03:10I was to enter marriage a properly broken man, just as God meant me to be.
03:18Just as my husband expected.
03:34Bless the day.
03:37And congratulations.
03:42On your engagement.
03:45Thanks.
03:48Same to you.
03:51He's blessed us both.
03:58Blessed day.
04:21Who'd you get?
04:24Silence.
04:26Come along, girls.
04:27In we go.
04:34You won't be following Agnes today.
04:37What?
04:37Why not?
04:39Curiosity is the devil at work.
04:41We'll be down the hall today.
04:45You too, Shunammite.
04:46Off you go, the both of you.
04:52Why are we in trouble?
04:54Copulation class.
04:55Must be.
04:56Oh.
04:57Eligible girls only.
04:59But I'm sure you know all about that stuff.
05:01Yeah.
05:03I know about copulation.
05:05I don't need to tell you, though.
05:07You seem to know everything.
05:08Everything.
05:12Do you know what happened to Talia?
05:14The pearl girl who was taken by the eyes.
05:16She won't be back.
05:19But what if she didn't do anything wrong?
05:23Well, if the eyes took her, then she did something wrong.
05:27Come on.
05:28We have a lame class to get to.
05:34We had waited so long to hear this.
05:37The mysteries of life.
05:38The mysteries of marriage.
05:41What would happen when we shared a bed with our husbands?
05:45Lord, please keep these girls' minds free from sin today.
05:49To teach creation is a delicate path,
05:52and we endeavor to step only where you wish.
05:54Amen.
05:55Amen.
06:00God's sacred vessel.
06:02Each of you has one.
06:04This is where your baby will grow.
06:06But only if you are God-fearing girls,
06:09and who chooses to bless you with child.
06:11On your wedding night,
06:13when it is time for you to endeavor to create new life,
06:15your husband will instruct,
06:17and you will follow.
06:19As long as you stay meek and deferential,
06:23your husband will guide your hand in your wifely duties,
06:26as in all things.
06:27As Ephesians tells us,
06:31wives,
06:32you shall obey your husband in everything,
06:34as you would obey the Lord.
06:39Now let's move on to pregnancy and prenatal nutrition.
06:43Our education was left wanting.
06:46I'm sorry.
06:49I'm sorry.
07:06I'm sorry.
07:12I'm sorry.
07:19What is taking you so long?
07:21I'll just be a minute.
07:24What's in there?
07:28You?
07:31This isn't fair.
07:33Even a pearl girl gets her period before I do.
07:35Why is God doing this to me?
07:37Please don't tell him.
07:38I'm the one who eats organic vegetables and drinks clean water,
07:41and you grew up in garbage.
07:44What are you doing?
07:46You have to show that to the aunt so that you can ring the bell.
07:48I can't.
07:49They'll make me get married.
07:51Of course they will.
07:52Why do you think you're here, Daisy?
07:54On Earth.
07:55She might.
07:57Please don't tell anyone.
07:59She might.
08:07When do you think Aunt Lydia will make announcements?
08:09Thanks.
08:10What?
08:16Are you okay?
08:19Yes, great.
08:20Why wouldn't I be?
08:23Are you disappointed with your engagement?
08:30He's nice.
08:33It's fine.
08:34He said maybe we could get a dog.
08:39Okay.
08:52What is it?
08:59I had a cleaning with Dr. Grove.
09:04Never mind.
09:06What happened?
09:07Hold up.
09:08Tell me, please.
09:10You won't say anything?
09:11I promise.
09:19You took my hand.
09:24You pressed it against his body.
09:29But I didn't know what to do.
09:35I betrayed the flesh and his word,
09:36and now I'm going to burn in hell forever and ever and ever and ever.
09:40You need to tell the aunts.
09:41No.
09:42No, I sinned.
09:42I...
09:44I tempted him.
09:46It's my fault.
09:47I lured him.
09:48I ensnared him with my body.
09:49I ensnared Becca's dad.
09:50You're not supposed to do that.
09:53Look who your husband is.
09:55You need to tell the aunts.
09:56They will help you.
09:57No, I can't.
09:59The aunts will freak out, and then I'll help you.
10:01Everyone will know.
10:04Be strong and courageous.
10:06Do not be afraid, for the Lord God is with you.
10:10I'm with you, Hulda.
10:22I bet you think I was being a real sham.
10:25I told myself I wasn't quite sure of what Dr. Grove had done to me,
10:29so Hulda had to be the one to speak out.
10:33Until Hulda, I had been able to lie to myself.
10:44Agnes!
10:46Agnes!
10:46Agnes!
10:47Agnes!
10:47Agnes!
10:48Agnes!
10:49Agnes!
10:49Agnes!
10:50Agnes!
10:51Agnes!
10:52Agnes!
10:53Agnes!
10:54Agnes!
10:55I have to help her!
10:58Agnes!
11:01Bless us, O God, in these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty.
11:07Blessed be the fruit, girls.
11:09Be the Lord of God.
11:14When each of you first entered the gates of this institution,
11:18it was with one goal in mind.
11:20To prepare you for tomorrow.
11:22for marriage, motherhood, serving God.
11:27Today, we rejoice with the daughters of Gilead
11:30who have taken that first step.
11:34Blessings on Constance Wickham,
11:36who is to marry Commander Moore.
11:39On Jehoshua Yardam,
11:41who is to marry Commander Caldwell.
11:46Blessings on Rebecca Grove,
11:48who is to marry soon-to-be Commander Chapin.
11:53On Miriam Dawson,
11:55who is to marry Commander Lewis.
11:57Commander Caldwell.
11:59On Huldah Marie Edwardson,
12:02who is to marry Commander Tom.
12:04Praise be to God, Kevin.
12:08And blessings on Agnes McKenzie,
12:11who is to wed Commander Weston,
12:13a man chosen by God to lead and protect.
12:18Congratulations.
12:20Congratulations on your patrullers.
12:22May the Lord bless you and keep you.
12:25Amen.
12:27Praise be his name.
12:29You all are engaged.
12:34You did it.
12:39Have you been to Commander Thomas' house yet?
12:42Yes.
12:43Is it big?
12:45Paula must love all the wedding planning.
12:49Yeah.
12:51My mom said Chapin's father was a big commander back in the day.
12:55The pedigree does matter, I guess.
12:56You dodged a bullet.
12:58They let me decide.
13:01I chose Gart.
13:03Gart?
13:06Guardian Chapin.
13:07He's my fiancé now.
13:10Congratulations.
13:11Does your pearl girl always have to sit with us?
13:14She's my friend.
13:16Okay, why is everybody being so touchy?
13:19Today is supposed to be about having fun.
13:22Can't we just have fun?
13:26Who do you think is going to throw the first engagement party?
13:28Me.
13:30The invitations are being handled over today.
13:32First party of the season?
13:34Nice.
13:54It's too cloying.
13:56You've tried seven cakes and haven't liked a single bite.
14:00This tasting was a courtesy, Agnes.
14:03Commander, what do you think?
14:05Well, I'm here.
14:07I like them all, but I have a bit of a sweet tooth.
14:10I'm really happy to keep tasting samples, actually.
14:16Put a pin in the Chantilly cream.
14:21Have a look at the flower arrangements.
14:26Hopefully they won't be as unpleasant.
14:31If you don't like any of these cakes, I'm going to find you something else.
14:36Whatever Mrs. McKenzie picked will be fine.
14:38No, it's your wedding.
14:39It's not hers.
14:40I want this to be fun for you.
14:42Especially the cake part.
14:45Greeting people.
14:46Sounds a little bit like torture, but...
14:52Agnes.
14:55I'm really excited about our future together.
14:58Just kind of hoping that excitement might be contagious.
15:04An invitation to Becca's engagement party.
15:07First of the season.
15:08Someone was prepared.
15:10Any choices?
15:12Any choices?
15:18This one's really beautiful.
15:21Mm-hmm.
15:23Calla and Lillies, yeah.
15:25May I urge you to reconsider the ranunculus?
15:28It's so elegant.
15:29I don't want to reconsider the ranunculus, Paula.
15:33I think the angus has made our choice.
15:37Wonderful.
15:40Calla and Lillies it is.
15:48Congratulations on West End.
15:52Thanks.
15:53You too.
15:55My Martha says his is one of the better colonies.
15:58Agriculture, not toxic waste or anything, but...
16:01My mother still won't come out of the room.
16:03Agnes, Aunt Fidala would like to see you in Aunt Lydia's office.
16:07This way.
16:25Have a seat, Agnes.
16:30I know Hilda spoke to you and cast some aspersions upon one of the upstanding men in our community.
16:36After our talk, she realized she was confused and that it was her own ill imagination at work.
16:46I want to make sure that this episode of misunderstanding goes no further than this room.
16:54We wouldn't want to jeopardize Hilda's engagement in any way.
16:58She made a mistake.
17:00We need not speak of it again.
17:04Do you agree?
17:08Yes, Aunt Fidala.
17:11Now you definitely think I'm shit.
17:14I had sent Hilda into the coal mine like a canary.
17:18And when I saw her gasping for air, I bolted for the exit.
17:23Don't worry.
17:24I think I'm a shit too.
17:35Agnes?
17:36Agnes, I'm really, really sorry.
17:37I'm so sorry, Agnes.
17:39Listen.
17:40Agnes, you have so much to look forward to right now.
17:48Think about your engagement.
17:56You're going to live a great life, Hilda.
18:01I believe that.
18:05You do.
18:20Hank, come on in.
18:22Yes, Constance?
18:23I can't find my embroidery project.
18:25What was it?
18:26A potholder of stars and mints.
18:29I'm sure it'll turn up.
18:30Why don't you use the loom today?
18:32You can start on some placements.
18:34Yes, Aunt Gavanna.
18:49I know you stole it from Constance.
18:52You have to give it back.
18:54Trust me, she wouldn't want it back now.
18:58How long are you going to try to hide it from the ants?
19:00Why do you care anyway?
19:02Do you really want to be known as the last prepubescent girl standing?
19:11I've done everything.
19:13Everything that I'm supposed to do.
19:17And I'm the one who's going to die in old weathered prune.
19:20You're not.
19:22I was just saying that.
19:26Every day, my mom asks me if I'm having cramping.
19:30Any twinges.
19:32Sip.
19:34I've had to watch all of my friends get it and act happy for them, and now you.
19:39Well, you don't need to act happy for me.
19:43I'm not happy about it.
19:45A pearl girl is going to get married before me.
19:48It's so humiliating.
19:50Not if they never find out.
19:51I won't be able to hide it forever.
19:54You lucky slut.
19:58I can't let my parents down.
20:04My little brother was one of the 68 taken on the Night of Tears.
20:07Angel's flight?
20:09My mother keeps a picture of him in a walk around her neck.
20:14I can't be married.
20:16I can't.
20:17She doesn't deserve that.
20:22I'm really sorry, Shin Amite.
20:26You can call me Shu.
20:28You can call me Shu.
20:31Cool.
20:42So, um...
20:45Do you want to know what sex is?
20:49Yes.
20:50I do.
20:51Tell me everything.
20:53Well, everything is quite a lot in this case, but, um, men have a penis, and it gets hard when
21:00they get turned on.
21:01Oh, like, aroused.
21:02And when it's hard, they can insert into a woman's vagina like a rod, and then, eventually, it will release
21:09this liquid.
21:11Basically, microscopic cells are in this liquid, and sometimes these cells can swim up through the woman and fertilize the
21:18neck.
21:18And that's how a baby's made it.
21:24Wow.
21:26Honestly.
21:27Wow.
21:33Swim up.
21:34Rod of flesh.
21:36You must think I'm very stupid.
21:43Swim up.
22:13That's Gork's dad?
22:16What happened to him?
22:17Rosa said he left the fight to keep Boston.
22:19She said they would have lost a day sooner if it went for him.
22:25Don't they have Martha's for that?
22:27I don't know.
22:27You seem like two more.
22:29Well, I guess you don't need any Martha's when you live in a house this small.
22:41Hello, sweetheart.
22:42Is Becca having a good time?
22:44I don't know.
22:45I haven't had a chance to talk to her yet.
22:47Soon we'll be having your engagement party.
22:50Does that make you happy?
22:53I'm happy if you're happy.
23:02You're all so young.
23:07But it makes sense to do it this way with the birth rate so low.
23:11Societal norms need to shift.
23:15Do you have to go with the science?
23:22Do you like Commander Weston?
23:25He's the right choice, I think.
23:27And your mother is pleased to be planning the wedding.
23:30She does like to plan.
23:32She's already pushing to secure a handmaid for us.
23:39You know how she is when she gets an idea in her head.
23:44It's going to be okay, Dad.
23:48Go.
23:49Have a good time at the party.
23:51Don't waste it hanging around with a crappy old man.
24:01Penny's here.
24:03Hi.
24:04It's so good to see you.
24:06Hi.
24:06How are you feeling?
24:08We've all been praying for you.
24:09That's so nice.
24:11I'm just, I'm really tired.
24:13Um, Michael's bringing a car around for me.
24:16You're leaving already?
24:19But, I'll see you soon, I hope.
24:27I don't think she's washed her hair.
24:34Blessed day.
24:36Hi.
24:38What's new?
24:40Nothing.
24:41This house has such a mediocre flow.
24:43Don't think it was meant for parties.
24:46Holder, what's the color scheme of your engagement?
24:48I haven't decided yet.
24:50Well, I'm doing my green and pink, so...
24:52Not those.
24:53Come with me to congratulate the couple.
24:55Holder, and I already congratulated them.
24:57Come on.
25:01We're so happy for you.
25:02Congratulations, Becca.
25:03Enjoy the party.
25:04Hi.
25:11Congratulations.
25:13May the Lord shine a light upon your union.
25:18Thanks.
25:19I wish you both happiness, truly.
25:23Can you take him outside?
25:25He needs some fresh air.
25:26Of course.
25:28Ma'am, would you like me to help...
25:29Oh, yes, if you would.
25:52You can't understand.
25:54What happened to him?
25:56He was poisoned.
25:57It was an assassination attempt by Mayday.
26:01Freud would have a field day with you.
26:03Freud?
26:04Yeah, he was a German.
26:06Yeah, I'm kidding.
26:06I know who Freud is.
26:09He was Viennese.
26:13Listen, my father is the bravest man I've ever known.
26:18He was just fighting for the wrong side.
26:23How are you going to get out of this?
26:25Your wedding?
26:28I'm not going to get out of it.
26:29You don't love her.
26:30I never expected that.
26:34Not in the way that you mean it.
26:37Never expected to fall in love with anyone.
26:41Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
26:45I've got my period.
26:50Blessed be the fruit.
26:51Are you kidding me?
26:53What?
26:54I need you to get me some, like, tampons or something I can flush or hide.
26:57But I don't know what those are.
26:59For fuck's sake, figure it out.
27:01If the ants rain out, they'll marry me off.
27:06I need you to get me out of here.
27:08I'm done.
27:09There is no done.
27:13I'm not going to stay here forever.
27:15I never signed up for that.
27:17Not forever.
27:19Just until we win.
27:20Call June.
27:21She'll get me out.
27:21I already told you.
27:22I don't know who June is.
27:23How is that possible?
27:24I'm your handler, okay?
27:26I have a handler, too.
27:27That's as far as it goes for me.
27:31Look, I want to destroy Gilead.
27:34A lot of people risked everything to get you in here because you said you wanted the same thing.
27:41So, what do you want, Daisy?
27:48It stands to reason.
27:49We have less oversight than you're going to stay.
27:51Commander Weston.
27:53And Lydia, blessed day.
27:56Under his eye, Commander.
27:58I wanted to talk to you about the pearl girl that was taken.
28:02Well, our investigation's ongoing.
28:04She came here seeking a fresh start.
28:06I feel a sense of responsibility for her.
28:09It was your only responsibility is to God and his government here on Earth.
28:15Now, I hope to see you at our wedding because you have done an exemplary job with the girls.
28:20And that is where your focus should remain.
28:24Blessed be the fruit.
28:25May the Lord help me.
28:27Do you want to get Becca looks okay?
28:33She's a tough mom.
28:35She can handle this.
28:36Yeah.
28:37Yeah, you're right.
28:38Blessed day, girls.
28:40Thank you so much for having us.
28:41You and Mrs. Grove have arranged a wonderful celebration.
28:45Wow.
28:45We're all very proud of Becca.
28:47God has smiled upon us.
28:49And I hear congratulations are in order for you, girls.
28:52We'll get you in tip-top shape at your appointment next week.
28:55Thank you, Dr. Grove.
28:57And I'll be seeing you too again, Agnes.
29:00Make sure that onlay is settling in properly.
29:07Have you guys seen any caviar?
29:09Mrs. Grove always overcompensates.
29:23Agnes!
29:25What a blessed gathering, isn't it?
29:27You must try the pigs in a blanket.
29:30They're quite pleasing.
29:31No, thank you, Aunt Lydia.
29:33Are you enjoying yourself, dear?
29:39Aunt Lydia, I imagine Aunt Vidala has talked to you about the other day.
29:43With Holda.
29:50She's telling the truth.
29:54I'm sure of it.
29:57I'm very sure.
29:59Aunt Lydia.
30:09Agnes, when you are a married woman, and a very powerful one at that, given your match,
30:14you won't have to go back to the dentist anymore, and neither will Holda.
30:19The wicked and enemies of the Lord will perish.
30:23Like smoke, they will drift away.
30:26But Aunt Lydia...
30:27They who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength.
30:37I didn't realize Aunt Lydia was telling me Dr. Grove would be dealt with.
31:01Mrs. McKenzie's looking for you.
31:05She can fly down here on her broomstick.
31:09I'll be up in a minute.
31:15Wait.
31:17Here, come quick.
31:18Hurry.
31:19Put them in your cloak.
31:22She told you?
31:24Who else did she tell?
31:26Yance?
31:27No, no, she would never.
31:29You don't turn on your friends, ever.
31:32Not here, at least.
31:34Yet, it's your best friend's engagement party.
31:38And you're here.
31:40Hiding from her.
31:44You don't understand.
31:45You're in love with Garth.
31:50She's not the reason I can't go back up.
31:59I can't be around Becca's dad.
32:05He did things to me.
32:11Things that shouldn't have been done.
32:15I'm so sorry that happened to you.
32:17You're the only one I can tell.
32:21I didn't want to sully anyone else.
32:24It's not your fault.
32:26You know that, right?
32:28What if he saw lust in me?
32:31Not for him, for Garth.
32:32And he saw my desires.
32:34I know it's easier to blame yourself
32:36than to blame him.
32:39But listen to me.
32:45You need to tell Aunt Lydia.
32:47Okay?
32:49I'll come with you if you're scared.
32:54I already did tell her.
33:00Not just me.
33:03And what's she gonna do about it?
33:15I'm really glad you told me.
33:26I couldn't possibly have known
33:28what Daisy was going to do.
33:30Like I said before,
33:33never trust a fucking pearl girl.
33:37Maybe a kicker.
33:39Ha ha ha.
33:48And here's what you think.
33:49And now my dad...
33:55And now my dad made Hassata for me different
33:55What if he told my dad
33:55when mom was in the middle of the day?
33:55Oh, last day he took chaos
