00:00Thank you for having us, Commander.
00:02You all showed the world some Gilead grit last week.
00:07Raya won't be married off to a man from the colonies.
00:10Will I?
00:11What happened?
00:13She spilled her tea.
00:16Agnes found the bride!
00:21Is it bad?
00:22Of course it's bad.
00:23How awful.
00:25And with the ball so soon.
00:27My dad will take good care of you.
00:28Promise.
00:29This is just a mild sedative.
00:31Before you know it, you'll wake up with a perfect smile.
00:54In Gilead, you weren't supposed to think about bodies.
00:57Yours or anybody else's.
01:00I wasn't even sure what Becca's father had done to me.
01:03But the shame still swelled in me like a wave.
01:06I tried to push it down.
01:09Growing up here made you an expert at pushing things down.
01:12Hiding from others was easy.
01:14But hiding from yourself?
01:17That's where Gilead really made you excel.
01:21You look gorgeous.
01:22Thank you, Rosa.
01:28Oh, that tailor truly is a man of God.
01:30Turn.
01:33It's a beautiful dress.
01:35I loved the one I wore to my prom.
01:37It's black velvet.
01:39It's dropless.
01:42It means no sleeves or shoulders.
01:45Anyways, different time.
01:47Do you feel prepared?
01:49I think so.
01:50A little conviction would be nice.
01:52Now, what do you do if the commander offers you a drink?
01:55I decline.
01:56No, you hesitate.
01:58Oh, I...
01:58I...
02:00I don't...
02:01You either let it go or encourage it.
02:04Now, if he insists, I accept with grace.
02:07But not too much grace.
02:08You're a godly girl, not a prig.
02:11I know I've been rigorous in my instruction, but I just want what's best for you.
02:16You know that, right?
02:18Yes, Mother.
02:20This is going to be a special evening.
02:23You'll want fond memories of it.
02:40Gilead had reduced our adolescence to almost nothing.
02:43Before this, we were children.
02:45And after, we'd become married women.
02:49This was our one night to approximate being teenagers.
02:52And I wasn't going to let anything ruin it for me.
02:56Besides, it was the event that would decide my future.
03:00How many people can say that about their prom?
03:19rink was a plane ignis non-a-brain
03:20Oh, my God.
03:24Wait!
03:25Here they are.
03:26This year's Greens.
03:28You girls will do wonderful, even with those titters.
03:31that we pray for you to guide us.
03:33Lead us to success
03:35that we may fulfill your will.
03:37Amen.
03:39Don't forget to smile.
03:41Don't forget to step on it.
03:44I miss you.
03:49I'm so glad that you're here.
03:50If I had to bear witness to Jehoshaphat's prayer circle
03:53for one more minute, I was going to scream.
03:57Hey, you're going to do great.
03:59Do you want to practice the dance?
04:01No, I'm fine.
04:04Hey, you both look so beautiful.
04:06You guys must be dying from excitement.
04:08I'm so jealous.
04:09I hope you get to dance with Commander Henry.
04:11I hear looks wise, and he's very blessed.
04:14No, don't worry about him.
04:15He's a minor commander.
04:17The top commanders don't come out until later.
04:20Girls are so lucky.
04:23Girls.
04:26Somewhere out there is your future husband.
04:29Tonight you will meet him.
04:31Soon you will share a life with him,
04:33raise children with him,
04:35and love and obey him,
04:37as he will love and protect you.
04:42God be with you, my sonny's.
04:45Praise be.
04:46Praise be.
04:48Praise be.
04:54You look so beautiful.
04:57You can do this.
05:00Thanks, Shu.
05:02Thanks, Shu.
05:02All right, girls.
05:03Let's line up.
05:12Yay!
05:21You asked me earlier if my friends and I expected to find love.
05:24But what did we know about love?
05:27We expected to find husbands.
05:30And we were told we would love our husbands because they were our husbands.
05:34Not for any other reason.
06:06Hey, Lydia.
06:07Your work with these girls is truly a triumph.
06:10They're magnificent.
06:55Oh, it was just beautiful.
06:58Your time for the father's skills.
07:19Ready, sweetie?
07:28Agnes.
07:30Sorry.
07:32Bless the evening, Daddy.
08:19Bless the evening, Commander McKenzie.
08:22Take my daughter's hand.
08:24More precious than jewels.
08:31May I have this dance?
08:33In his grace.
08:50I was dancing.
08:53With a boy.
08:56We had been at turns curious and frightened of those strange beings who would soon become
09:00men.
09:02Men who would protect us.
09:05Or hurt us.
09:08Optimism bias is a term I've learned recently from a psychiatrist.
09:12It's when you believe something good might happen, despite all evidence to the contrary.
09:32It's an herbal tea.
09:33Smells awful.
09:35Yeah.
09:37What'd you get the recipe?
09:39My cousin.
09:42What does it taste like?
09:46Lemonhead.
09:48And mushrooms.
09:50Hey, save me some.
09:52I'm the one who had to ferment metals in my closet.
09:55I just want one sip.
09:57I want triplets.
09:58Hold up.
09:59When Helen had twins, her husband bought her Mercedes and diamond earrings.
10:20Sorry, I haven't said much.
10:21I've been counting my steps.
10:23Me too.
10:25I probably should have taken the dance refresher class, but they were showing a movie in the
10:28barracks.
10:28Sorry to die instead.
10:30Were you?
10:30Yeah.
10:31It was about a giant shark terrorizing a small town.
10:35Jaws.
10:36You've seen it?
10:37No, but my father told me about it when we went to the beach.
10:41He said it used to be one of his favorites.
10:44You're gonna need a bigger boat.
10:48Oh, right.
10:48You haven't seen it.
10:50Do you like your glasses?
10:52Some of them.
10:55I like embroidery and music.
10:57What do you play?
10:58Piano?
10:58Guitar?
10:59The hammered dulcimer.
11:00Oh, nice.
11:02What, uh, songs have you liked?
11:04Uh, The Foggy Dew.
11:06Pachelbel's Cannon.
11:10They're really pretty.
11:15Yeah.
11:15I'm dead.
11:19Yeah.
11:20Not the time.
11:21Yeah.
11:21This is the other side, it's nice.
11:28Good.
11:29Good.
11:29I'll try the bike.
11:29Okay?
11:30Gentlemen?
11:31Okay, in the distance right here.
11:48God created all of us
11:50but he took his time with you, didn't he?
11:57Perhaps
11:57if you're a good girl
12:00this white
12:02might become
12:03green
12:05and you, ripe
12:08Don't touch me
12:11You're a tech bitch
12:14Committed
12:15A monthly one, this girl
12:17Don't trouble yourself
12:20I'll take care of her
12:23Under his eye
12:24Under his eye, Committed
12:29Are you insane?
12:30A little Toronto slipped out
12:31Lose it, unless you want to lose your tongue
12:33Sorry
12:34I wasn't prepped for perverts
12:35Go ahead for Chapin
12:39Copy that
12:40All clear
12:42Look
12:42You're doing well
12:45That thing you noticed with the chocolate
12:46It was helpful
12:48It was?
12:49Yeah
12:50Did you find out more?
12:52About what?
12:55Commander McKenzie is meeting with the Japanese
12:56We think he might be brokering a deal for our territory
12:58How the fuck am I supposed to?
12:59Lower your voice
13:02I don't think Agnes
13:03Agnes will know anything about that
13:06Just get close to her
13:07You get close to her
13:14So
13:15Have they said anything yet?
13:18About me?
13:21You're still working on getting me out of here, right?
13:23You've got to prove you're worth the trouble
13:35Clean up this mess before I knock you senseless
14:00It's a fine one for Batch this year
14:02A man can strain his neck
14:04All right, Jud
14:06I think these young guns have whet their appetites
14:10Now let's show them where they will eat
14:13Gentlemen, those are your future wives
14:18Is act worthy
14:19Shall we?
14:22Of course
14:23We're merely celebrating
14:25Gentlemen
14:27To the women of Gilead
14:52I think that's my cue
14:53I think that's my cue
15:07Right, what is it?
15:09It's kind of a blur
15:10Are there any commanders who have their eyes on you?
15:12I don't think so
15:14Really?
15:15You seem to like dancing with that first commander
15:17Thought maybe you had found a match
15:20Why are you paying attention to what I'm doing anyways?
15:23Did I do something to offend you?
15:25You didn't know what to say
15:27No, forget it
15:28Then, Bray, why are you being so weird?
15:31I'm sure Agnes didn't mean anything by it
15:33Girls, look smart
15:35You are needed back on the floor
15:37Yes, Avadol
15:38Behave yourselves
15:48What is going on with them?
15:50They're acting so odd
15:52Hold on
15:53They can be something sometimes
15:56They're obviously fighting over the affections of the commander
16:00How do you know that?
16:02Because this always happens as much when you see some advances
16:04The ants aren't going to say it outright
16:06But Agnes and Becca
16:09They're each other's competition
16:12They have always been so close
16:14Hold on
16:14God has made you ineligible for good reason
16:17You can benefit from growing up a little
16:22I never thought about it like that before
16:29Do you think that God made you ineligible for the same reason?
16:44For a moment, they had let us dream
16:48But we all knew who our real suitors were
16:52Occasionally you could wind up with someone young
16:55Like Penny had
16:57But girls like us
16:58From the best houses
17:00Were matched with the most powerful commanders
17:02May I have this dance?
17:05Miss Grace
17:10Of course
17:11We all hoped
17:12We would be the exception
17:30I'm afraid I'm a little rusty
17:32It's been a while
17:52You understand?
17:53Yes, come on
18:00I'm sorry to interrupt, Commander
18:01But your presence is urgently needed in the war room
18:05Excuse me, Miss Mackenzie
18:06I'm being called away
18:07If you could take my place with a young lady
18:11Blessed evening
18:12Blessed evening
18:20I'm sorry
18:20Here we go
18:28And you're out of breath
18:38A green
18:38Quite aう
18:40So
18:47So this, this is what it's supposed to feel like.
19:01Why don't we get a refreshment?
19:05You got a pen for bravery, because of the May Day attack.
19:09I just had the good fortune not to get shot.
19:11You did more than that, I remember it very well.
19:15Does it feel strange to shoot someone?
19:18You know, your small talk gives a little work.
19:22To distract you from my terrible dancing.
19:25You seem fine to me.
19:33Absolutely. Something to ease the nervousness.
19:39Are the other security guys giving me the stink hat?
19:42I bet they're seething with jealousy.
19:44I don't know when I probably shouldn't look.
19:47I could get in trouble.
19:48You know, I think tonight some of the rules kind of fall by the wayside.
19:51Then could I ask you a question?
19:53Go ahead.
19:54I was wondering what you meant by the other...
19:56Go ahead, Frichapin.
19:58Copy that.
20:00Sorry, Jessica Kenzie. I have to get back to work.
20:14It seemed like another.
20:17Please forgive me.
20:28I love you.
20:33The men's glasses never seem to be empty.
20:36Not a surprise.
20:37Not my concern.
20:39It is paramount, however, for the young women to abstain.
20:43Lydia, these are not your handmaids from days gone by.
20:46These were godly girls.
20:47They know how to behave.
20:49It's your own instruction that we rely upon to ensure it.
20:52My girls have been instructed to always defer to commanders.
20:56Do not let them get my girls drunk.
21:00Please remind them I'm in charge of their matches.
21:04I'll have a word with them.
21:06Thank you, Commander.
21:10Well, Envidala.
21:13I just wanted to thank you for all your work, bringing this together.
21:16Well, Aunt Lydia is the one...
21:18Aunt Lydia is slowing down.
21:21Of course, it's only natural that she should be, but I think maybe the time's come for you and I
21:25to discuss our vision of the future.
21:36Excuse me, Commander.
21:39I'm needed downstairs.
21:42Of course.
21:43Thank you, dear.
21:45I'm going to go to the young man's secretary.
22:01Go distract and test it.
22:02Wait, what are you going to...
22:03Just do it!
22:06Back up!
22:09Sue, I think I'm going to be sick.
22:10Come up!
22:11I don't think any of the ants saw.
22:13Everyone's hot.
22:13Daisy, quick!
22:14Take her inside.
22:15I have to go back before the ants see that I'm gone.
22:16What's wrong with her?
22:17She's unwell.
22:19She's drunk.
22:20Shh!
22:21So help her.
22:22If the ants see her like this, it's over for her.
22:25Shit.
22:27I mean, go.
22:29I've dealt with similar circumstances.
22:35Hey, how much did you drink?
22:39Have some water.
22:43Did you eat today?
22:46No.
22:48I didn't eat because I was too anxious because of the...
22:54Tonight.
22:55I also didn't really eat that much yesterday.
23:00Okay, okay.
23:03Can we get back out there?
23:09I don't want them touching me.
23:18I don't want them looking at me.
23:21I just, I...
23:25I know it's a sin, but...
23:30Sometimes I close my eyes and I pray for God to broom away the earth and extinguish the stars.
23:38Okay.
23:41Well, you're more articulate than most drunk girls.
23:47I understand how you feel.
23:50The men here, a lot of them, they're scary.
23:57But there's some good ones too.
24:02Back in Toronto, I know a lot of good men.
24:07Guys you could have an actual conversation with.
24:10Real friends.
24:14If that's true, then why did you leave?
24:22Remember what the aunts always tell us.
24:25God loves you and he has something special in store for you.
24:35They don't say that.
24:37No.
24:38Okay.
24:39Well, they say the first part.
24:45What does it feel like?
24:48To run away?
24:51Don't think about that.
24:56Think about how much your friends care about you.
25:01Shouldn't I risk getting in big trouble to bring you to me?
25:07And Agnes.
25:10She loves you.
25:15Not the way I love her.
25:27Okay.
25:29We need to get you back out there.
25:32Ready?
25:36You're okay.
25:39It's okay to feel this way.
25:46I can get back on my own.
25:54And for my next embroidery project,
25:56I'm going to make a dish towel for my favorite Martha.
25:58That's lovely, hold on.
25:59I'll be right back.
26:03It's Becca okay.
26:04She will be fine.
26:05God willing.
26:06Did you see Becca?
26:08It's a shame of going with such promise.
26:11Throw it all away.
26:12Hey, what happened?
26:13If my father was a dentist,
26:15I'd be a bit more careful.
26:17The Lord said,
26:18do not go about spreading slander.
26:21Well, if you'd seen her,
26:23you'd know it's not slander.
26:25She said it for the callers.
26:34Shoot, let's go.
27:03You're next.
27:04Come with me, please.
27:16I'm taking you to some commanders
27:18who would like to meet you.
27:20You're soon to be matched with a husband
27:22whose rank befits your status.
27:24Do you understand the responsibility that entails?
27:27Yes, Aunt Gabona.
27:28You're a very lucky girl, Agnes.
27:31I'm not sure you realize just how lucky.
27:35Our natural proclivities are not necessarily godly ones.
27:39Many a race has been lost right at the finish line.
27:43The weak may fall,
27:45but you mustn't stumble over them.
27:48Okay?
27:50I hope you can fulfill their expectations.
27:54Under his eye, dear.
27:57Under his eye, Aunt Gabona.
28:10Agnes.
28:12Please come and sit down.
28:27Look into the lens.
28:29Here.
28:32You and I are going to have a conversation
28:34so that the commanders here
28:36can get to know you a little better.
28:38Okay.
28:39So, Agnes,
28:43how will you exemplify your wifely duties?
28:50As a wife,
28:53I will serve my husband with...
29:00I will obey him and...
29:15I must be nervous.
29:17Are you?
29:28Here.
29:32You know, Agnes,
29:33Penny thinks really highly of you.
29:38Just be yourself.
29:40And that will shine through, okay?
29:43I don't know if I can live up to her example.
29:50I'm so happy for her.
29:53Yeah, she's delighted that the pregnancy is advancing.
29:57Me too.
29:58I'm hoping you'll come visit her soon.
30:02As a wife.
30:09Hey, listen.
30:10It's okay.
30:11You started a little rocky.
30:13We're all allowed to make mistakes.
30:16What do you say?
30:18You ready to try again?
30:23Yes.
30:26Okay.
30:36Sorry about that, gentlemen.
30:38Agnes and I had some technical troubles.
30:41Agnes,
30:43how will you fulfill
30:44your wifely duties?
30:49It worked out for Penny.
30:51She found her prince.
30:54I could too.
30:56God wouldn't let me fall from grace.
30:58I had to trust in his plan.
31:06on Esté.
31:07The commanders are waiting.
31:10That's all.
31:10That's great.
31:15I know.
31:16I know it's not.
31:18I know it's not.
31:19Okay.
31:20I know it's not.
31:21I know it's not.
31:30I hear you may have had some trouble tonight.
31:39You're a desirable match.
31:42I know it will not hurt your chances.
31:50Worst comes to worst, I could just run away.
31:54I'll run away with you.
31:57I could steal one of Paula's horses.
32:00Applesauce.
32:02Our favorite one.
32:15Aunt Lydia.
32:17I trust your expectations were met?
32:20Hardly.
32:22I saw more than one girl plied with drinks.
32:25You failed.
32:26But the commanders were...
32:30How was I supposed to...
32:31You still have much to prove.
32:34Blessed evening, Aunt Fidala.
32:46Did the ants say anything?
32:48Not yet.
32:49Maybe you're unclear.
32:50For all you know, a commander could be requesting to be matched with you right now.
32:55How long do you think this is going to take?
32:57Probably not long.
32:59The commanders always get their requests to the ants, but...
33:01The ants probably won't make any matches tonight.
33:05I saw you, dancing with Commander Pritchett.
33:08Don't get your hopes up.
33:10You made it quite clear I was his first choice.
33:14Don't pay any attention to her.
33:16She's showboating.
33:18Pray, I hope you're right.
33:19Because my mother told me he's my best chance.
33:25Well, her only chance.
33:29Girls?
33:35Most of you did very well tonight.
33:37But some of you, and you know who you are, have disappointed us all.
33:41Let that weigh heavy on your souls.
33:43And pray that he may be merciful on your matches.
33:52What?
33:53Is that what I think it is?
33:54I think it is.
33:55No, no way.
33:56Not today.
33:57It has to be a prank.
33:58I don't want you to do that.
34:00Is everyone here?

34:26And as he answered the prayers of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca, he has saved me from barrenness and emptiness.
34:34By his hand, may he make me fruitful.

35:09Your mother would be so proud.

35:16I can't wait to tell her all about it when we get home.
35:22Thank you for stepping up security, Chapin. It was prudent.
35:25Trust you had a blessed evening, Commander?
35:27I only wish there had been fewer distractions.
35:31Commander Weston being pulled away.
35:33Efforts in the front have begun.
35:35It's a nasty business, but the rebels must be rooted out.
35:42By his hand. Commander.
35:47Congratulations on your promotion, by the way.
35:49Making Commander in a few weeks, I hear?
35:52Yes. Thank you, sir.
35:54I'm sure that is in no small part due to you.
35:57No, don't thank me. We need men like yourself.
36:00Men like your father. Willing to rise to the occasion.
36:27Blessed evening.
36:34Garth was becoming a commander.
36:36And if he were a commander, he would be eligible.
36:41And if he became eligible,
36:44he could be mine.
36:48All I could think about were his eyes.
36:51His touch.
36:53His heat.
36:55I felt the world was filled with possibility.
36:59And hope.
37:00I, his demonstracted.
37:30Oh
