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