Transcript
00:01Previously on The Handmaid's Tale.
00:03They won't put me on the wall, June. Maybe we'll be next to each other.
00:06What if I told you that by this time next week, every single one of those goddamn men would be dead?
00:12Serena Joy, will you please do me the honor of marrying me?
00:15We're going to reform Gilead together.
00:17You're still subjugating yourself to a powerful man, Serena.
00:22I will stay, but only until you can get my family out.
00:24You can do that, right?
00:26Eventually, it could take a while, like a year or two.
00:28That asshole, Commander Bell, can't keep his hands off her. He's obsessed.
00:32I am trying to give you a way out!
00:35There is no way out!
00:37Lydia, can you be so fucking blind?
00:40Have you been unfaithful to my daughter?
00:43No, sir.
00:44The more you put away at that place tonight!
00:46These lies, they're gonna land you on the wall.
00:49I can't help you unless you're completely honest with me. Do you understand?
00:53I understand.
00:54I love you. It has always been you.
00:57Hide!
00:58It didn't mean you might go!
00:59Jezebel's that club downtown?
01:00Yes.
01:01I shut it down.
01:02I found out the Resistance was planning a massacre.
01:04The slaughter of every commander in attendance.
01:06It was Nick who discovered the plan.
01:08It was Nick who told me everything.
01:10I thought it was commander's movie.
01:11I'm grateful to him.
01:12And that Nick has leverage now.
01:13And that Nick has leverage now.
01:17Okay.
01:18I thought it was commander's movie.
01:19I'm grateful to him.
01:20I thought it was commander's movie.
01:21I'm grateful to him.
01:22And that Nick has leverage now.
01:24Is she a real issue?
01:25I'm sorry about the investigation.
01:26I'm sorry.
01:27I'm sorry.
01:28I'm so impressed.
01:29I'm sorry.
01:30I'm sorry.
01:31I'm sorry.
01:32I'm so impressed.
01:33I'm so impressed.
01:34I'm so impressed.
01:35I'm so impressed.
01:44Wait, what?
01:46You can't do that for a minute?
01:47I'm sorry.
01:48Wait, wait, wait.
01:49This is so nice.
01:54Get up!
01:57Get up!
01:58Get up!
01:59I'm sorry!
02:00Move!
02:01No!
02:02No!
02:03No!
02:04No!
02:05No!
02:06No!
02:29No!
02:30No!
02:31Go!
02:32Get up!
02:33Move, you damn savage!
02:34Get him in there!
02:35Please, don't hurt them!
02:36You don't have to hurt them!
02:37Don't hurt them!
02:38No, no, no, no!
02:39You do not have to do this!
02:40Don't do this!
02:43Not her.
02:44No!
02:45No!
02:46No!
02:47No!
02:48No!
02:49No!
03:00No!
03:01No!
03:02No!
03:04No!
03:05It's hard.
03:06No!
03:07No!
03:08No!
03:09No!
03:10No!
03:11I don't know.
03:41Your friend was taken.
03:49But I'll find out where.
03:59He wanted the whole place gone.
04:05I never said...
04:08I didn't say it was then.
04:11I never said the girls had anything to do with it.
04:21Are they dead?
04:28I didn't think he would do that.
04:29Take me back.
04:38Take me back.
04:38Stop the car.
05:06We're almost there.
05:07Stop.
05:08Let me drive you the whole way.
05:09No.
05:10Let me go.
05:11June, what are you doing?
05:12Let me out.
05:20June.
05:21Hey.
05:22You know you never cared what I did when it helped you.
05:24I killed those two guardians to protect you and your friend and your husband and those men were just doing their jobs.
05:33One of them was 19 years old.
05:36You pretend like I'm not a commander or an eye unless it suits you.
05:42I never pretended.
05:44Well, you didn't face it.
05:47And now you have to.
05:53You gave up those women to save yourself.
05:57We all want to save ourselves.
05:59We're fucking human.
05:59That's what we do.
06:00You're just like them.
06:07And you love me.
06:10So what does that make you?
06:19Jen.
06:19Don't.
06:20June.
06:34June.
06:39June.
06:39June.
06:47June.
06:49God bless you.
07:19God bless you.
07:49No, Moira doesn't know how they found it either.
08:05What matters is all those women are dead.
08:08Are you okay?
08:16You heard.
08:26Yeah.
08:27Yeah.
08:28Yeah.
08:29Look, we, uh, we're trying to find out what happened.
08:38Nick told them.
08:50How did he know?
09:00June.
09:01I thought I could trust him.
09:09He's a commander in Gilead.
09:16He doesn't give a shit about the resistance.
09:19He doesn't want us to win.
09:24The only thing he ever cared about is you.
09:30And because of that, you're gonna run around like he's some hero?
09:35Like he's his fucking savior that you've been pining for ever since you got back?
09:42You think I don't see it?
09:58What?
09:59I don't know what to do.
10:06Don't be in love with a fucking Nazi.
10:10I don't know what to do.
10:11How about that?
10:12How about that?
10:17I don't know what to do.
10:40Commander Blaine, Rita Blue is here to see you.
10:45Hey.
10:55I, uh, I just wanted to make sure June got out okay.
11:00Yes, you did.
11:04It's hard to say or go.
11:13We will see each other again.
11:15Someday.
11:16You will.
11:17I don't think so.
11:22Why not?
11:23She thinks I'm a monster.
11:29Nick, I've known you a long time.
11:33You're a good man.
11:34Not without her.
11:35Yeah, you were.
11:38You were.
11:41Remember, we were friends way before June came along.
11:43We were never friends.
11:44I was afraid of you.
11:45You were afraid of me.
11:47We would have crossed each other in a second if it helped us to survive.
11:59Yeah, maybe.
12:00Maybe.
12:01Maybe.
12:02Before we knew each other.
12:06But not now.
12:07You're just saying that because you want me to get your family out.
12:20Don't you, don't you want to be a man who does the right thing?
12:28I don't get to have what I want.
12:30I was counting on you.
12:47This is Gilead.
12:51The only person you should count on is yourself.
12:57A bridal shower really was the last thing on my mind.
13:18I'm very touched.
13:20Well, we had to celebrate.
13:22Did you stop by Marigold's for your gown?
13:24Well, they really do make the most exquisite dresses.
13:27Good.
13:28I was worried you'd use some tacky little dress shop at New Bethlehem.
13:33We've heard so many stories.
13:35What's it really like there?
13:37Is it as modern as people say?
13:40It is less strict.
13:42But we do still follow the same values as Gilead proper.
13:45But all those refugees, do they follow God's word?
13:49Can't be safe with them just milling about unsupervised.
13:52It really is quite peaceful.
13:55The residents are very happy to reunite with their families.
13:58It's a credit to your husband.
14:00High Commander Lawrence is really responsible for the success of New Bethlehem.
14:05Well, when he talks, it's all he talks about.
14:11My husband says his ideas are too radical.
14:16Reckless, mine says.
14:18Is there anything reckless about a community building on their devotion to God,
14:22living in harmony with respect to one another?
14:26Well, my husband says that...
14:29And what do you say?
14:32What are your hopes and dreams for Gilead's future?
14:41I will be starting a fertility center in New Bethlehem,
14:44which means more healthy children.
14:47Isn't that what this was all about to begin with?
14:51Yes, but the present system works.
14:56I think we can all attest to that.
14:58There will be no handmaids in New Bethlehem.
15:04Except, of course, the ones that retire and work as attendants in the fertility center.
15:08Nobody will want those women around.
15:10Lord, no. Give me my child. God bless. Move on.
15:13Move on. Move on to where? To do what exactly?
15:18These women are holy vessels. They carried our children.
15:25Where would you suggest that they spend their retirement?
15:28Well, that's for the commanders to decide.
15:33Though I must say, it is refreshing hearing you give the matter so much consideration.
15:42Who would like more tea?
15:44I'd love some.
15:45I'd love some.
15:46I'd love some.
15:55My office sent options for our house in Boston.
15:59But it's a challenge finding something tasteful that'll be big enough.
16:05Serena.
16:08The wives were so dismissive today.
16:12They mocked my ideas. They think New Bethlehem is a folly.
16:15Which wives?
16:16All of them.
16:19Well, you're the future Mrs. Wharton. They will treat you with respect.
16:25Seems their husbands don't support our ideas of reform either.
16:29Well, then they need to be reminded who they're dealing with.
16:33A proper wedding will remind them.
16:40Okay. Well, that means we can't get married in New Bethlehem. We'll need to have our wedding in Buxton.
16:46A grand celebration fit for the highest commander. With all the other commanders and their wives, the Kano men and women.
17:01And Martha's handmaids.
17:03Handmaids.
17:04It won't be a traditional Gilead wedding without the whole community in attendance.
17:08Yes, I suppose you're right.
17:10It will be a show of unity. With everyone represented and us on top.
17:15I just hope there's enough time to change venues.
17:16Well, if anyone can make it happen, it's you.
17:22It's you.
17:52Blessed day, Aunt Linda.
18:05I can't be bothered today.
18:07Oh, my goodness. You've not heard the news.
18:11Pray tell Aunt Phoebe.
18:13Commander Bell is insisting we send a fresh cloak and dress to his new handmaid.
18:18The Bells want a handmaid, but they're newly married.
18:23The commander is insisting he's made his wishes clear.
18:27He wants Janine.
18:30He rescued her from that nightmare at the brothel.
18:37Oh.
18:39Oh.
18:40Thank God.
18:42Oh.
18:43Oh, thank God.
18:44Oh.
18:45Oh.
18:46Oh, thank God.
18:47She's already there at Lydia, at his house.
18:50Praise Be.
18:51Oh.
18:52Praise Be.
18:53Oh.
18:54Oh.
18:56Praise Be.
18:57Praise Be.
18:58Praise Be.
18:59Praise Be.
19:00Oh.
19:01Oh.
19:02Oh.
19:10I can't believe she could be so stupid.
19:12I'll miss her over now.
19:14I think we gotta move. What do we do now?
19:31I trusted him for so long, I...
19:36I forgot who he was.
19:38He never gave you any reason not to trust him.
19:45I mean, you were stuck in Gilead Gideon.
19:52And he was kind to you.
19:55He hoped you'd survive.
19:58I mean, you'd be dead if it weren't for him.
20:01Yeah, we might all be.
20:03That doesn't justify anything.
20:05No.
20:08Um, but it makes it...
20:13I don't know, understandable.
20:18Shit, if I had a commander at Jezebel's who was trying to save me...
20:22I could fall in love with him, too.
20:29I mean it.
20:31Serious, if he was, like, hot enough.
20:33No one's hot enough.
20:36No one's hot enough.
20:38I'm talking Angelina Jolie.
20:41Hot.
20:43Nick is not Angelina Jolie hot. Not even close.
20:46Halle Berry?
20:48Absolutely not.
20:51Sigourney Weaver, alien.
20:53Or, oof, Rihanna.
20:54Rihanna.
20:55Are you kidding?
20:56What are you even talking about right now?
20:58No one's hotter than Rihanna.
20:59Yeah.
21:00Keep going.
21:01Yeah.
21:02Keep going.
21:04And, uh...
21:06Oh, yeah.
21:08Oh, yeah.
21:09Oh, yeah.
21:11You're not coming, Angelina Jolie.
21:13Come on, Angelina Jolie.
21:14Come on, Angelina.
21:15Come on, Angelina Jolie.
21:16I'll lead you to it.
21:17I'll be right back.
21:18It'll be a couple of minutes.
21:19I'll be right back.
21:20You'll be a couple of minutes.
21:21Alec?
21:22Yeah.
21:23No.
21:24I'll lead you to it.
21:39I'll be right behind you.
21:39It'll be a couple minutes.
21:42Alan?
21:43No.
21:54I think, um, I couldn't think about how much I was maybe hurting you.
22:09You know, you've gone through so much.
22:13Don't do that.
22:17That's no excuse.
22:19I don't want you to stay with me because you feel sorry for me.
22:23I don't want you to pity me.
22:29What do you want?
22:33I want you to be happy.
22:37And I want you to be with someone that deserves you.
22:51What do you want?
22:53I should want to leave you.
23:06But I can't.
23:11I can't either.
23:12I miss her so much.
23:25I miss her so much.
23:25Do you think that she's the only reason we're still together?
23:34I'm not the only one.
23:47I miss her so much.
23:48Let's see.
23:56Here we go.
23:57Here we go.
23:59On Lydia, blessed day.
24:25Commander Bell, it is a joy and a privilege.
24:29Let me get that for you.
24:31I prayed to God for her rescue, and he delivered you.
24:36You know, God answered my prayers, too.
24:41My dear girl of Paul, is she adjusting?
24:46Well, we've been working on her adjustment all morning.
24:48She's quite the firecracker, isn't she?
24:54Blessed day to you.
24:56Would it be possible for me to see her?
24:59Oh, I'm sorry, Aunt Lydia.
25:00No, our girl's very tired after all she's been through.
25:04Oh, well then, I'll see her at the wedding.
25:07Uh, no, she won't be going to that.
25:09Why not?
25:10Well, she's not ready for public viewing at the moment.
25:14No.
25:14Mm-hm.
25:15Oh.
25:20Oh.
25:21Whoa, whoa.
25:22Whoa.
25:24Whoa.
25:24Whoa.
25:25Whoa.
25:25Whoa.
25:26Whoa.
25:27Whoa.
25:28Oh, my God.
25:58Oh, my God.
26:28Oh, my God.
26:58Oh, my God.
27:29Go in peace.
27:31What the fuck?
27:32Who does he think he is?
27:34Elf.
27:35He's not the one who exposed the plan.
27:38Still a fucking fascist.
27:40I always thought you were an idiot for trusting him.
27:53I always thought you were an idiot for trusting him.
28:08Well, you trusted him, too.
28:10You put him in charge.
28:11I was always selective in what I told him, and I sure as hell never let a smoldering gaze obscure my better judgment.
28:18Why are you here?
28:20I want you to get these people to find another way to kill those commanders, like you promised.
28:25They don't want to hear anything from me.
28:30When has that ever stopped you?
28:32Look, I'm really sorry that, uh...
28:34Those commanders want to kill you.
28:38And I'm sorry they're probably going to succeed, but I really just can't do anything for you right now, so...
28:47Serena never quit.
28:49She clawed her way back into power.
28:55She's about to become Mrs. Wharton, queen of Gilead.
29:01Where are you going to be, June?
29:04Watching the pageantry in Boston from a trailer park in Alaska?
29:09What makes you think I give a damn about what Serena does?
29:12So when Serena's broadcast all around the world in her beautiful little wedding dress surrounded by handmaids
29:20and their beautiful little red veils staring at the floor because they're not allowed to meet her eyes...
29:31That's gonna sit right with you?
29:35That's the legacy?
29:39It's the way June Osborne's last chapter in Gilead ends?
29:42My last chapter in Gilead ended when those women died.
29:52Janine's not dead.
29:59She probably wishes she were.
30:02That pervert, Belle, made her his handmaid.
30:12I hope she kills him in his sleep.
30:29At the wedding.
30:35Did you say they were gonna be handmaids?
30:36She'll invite everyone important.
30:41She'll put on a huge show.
30:42And she's gonna choreograph every move.
30:44She will micromanage every detail.
30:47Where people sit.
30:48What they experience.
30:50No one there is going to see anything that she doesn't want them to see.
30:55And while she is planning her perfect wedding,
30:59we will be planning, too.
31:01We just got busted at Jezebel's.
31:03All those women died.
31:04Exactly.
31:04They just had a big win.
31:06They're arrogant.
31:07They're relaxed.
31:07They let their guard down.
31:08The handmaids had nothing to do with Jezebel's.
31:10No one will suspect them.
31:11That's a lot of people.
31:13The odds of compromise are extremely high.
31:15Handmaids are trained not to talk.
31:17All those handmaids at that wedding?
31:19One giant group, anonymous, veiled,
31:21moving as one.
31:23Yeah, that's how we'll hide.
31:26You sure you're ready to go back?
31:28Hell yeah.
31:29I'm going with you.
31:31They don't have any weapons.
31:33Anything they could use is locked up.
31:37I'll smuggle them in.
31:39We'll get them to the Red Center,
31:40then slip them to the posted handmaids at the wedding.
31:44We won't be able to extract you.
31:46Not until it's done.
31:47We're gonna see this through to the end.
31:49The bombs are still in place.
31:50It'd be a shame not to use them.
31:53Chaos, panic, confusion in the city.
31:56A perfect time to bring in your military.
31:58This event, with all those commanders in one place,
32:01Gilead will beef up security.
32:03Serena's definitely going to insist on extra guardians
32:06at that wedding.
32:07And she's gonna pull them from all over the city
32:09and the border,
32:10leaving Boston more unprotected.
32:20We will use all of our friends.
32:29Everyone and anyone who hates Gilead.
32:32Anyone who has ever been fucked over by that place.
32:36Serena will make sure all eyes stay on her.
32:50Her narcissism brought down one nation
32:52and is about to bring down another.
32:55Because those commanders and those wives
32:57are gonna be so busy eating and dancing
33:00and having the time of their fucking lives
33:02that they will never see us coming.
33:16Blessed evening, Commander.
33:17What brings you to the Red Center, Commander?
33:26I've scheduled a meeting for you.
33:29The Department of Human Reallocation
33:31will hear your plan tomorrow in D.C.
33:34I didn't expect you to care about retired handmaids.
33:38A fertility clinic in New Bethlehem
33:40is the perfect tourist trap.
33:42I'd be missing the warden's wedding.
33:58Ah, small sacrifice.
34:01I can't think of anyone
34:03who could make the case to D.C. better than you.
34:06Oh, well, I'd like to go, of course,
34:10but could I postpone?
34:13No, no, no.
34:13The car will be here in a few minutes.
34:16The flight is...
34:17It's tonight.
34:21May I be of assistance?
34:23Yes, hi.
34:24I could use your help.
34:26I think I saw a small break in the fence over there.
34:29Um, might be an animal, maybe a weasel.
34:33God forbid it's one of the girls, but who knows?
34:36I'll check it out.
34:38Better to be safe, right?
34:40You're a dear.
34:42Blessed evening.
34:43You're girls, Lydia.
34:45They need you.
34:46Well, by God's grace.
34:49By God's grace.
34:50Blessed be the fruit.
35:14Let the revolution begin.
35:39That one girl with the red hair?
35:41Don't forget we're always planning on who,
35:44she's the one that needs ever like her.
35:50Don't forget we need you to master.
35:52Don't forget we need you.
35:53Don't forget.
35:54Don't forget...
36:00game, see you.
36:02We will never escape.
36:06You are cancer, you're dead.
36:07baby, you're desperate.
36:09Don't forget me, come out.
36:10I'll get home.
36:10I can't believe you guys are here.
36:38The Handmaids are on board, but they're not going to believe it, not until they see you.
36:43And how about the Marthies network?
36:45Ready and waiting as well.
36:46Good work.
36:48Commander Bell won't let your friend Janine come to the wedding.
36:52So, she doesn't know the plan. She hasn't been right in.
36:55What? Shit.
36:56I'll take care of it.
36:58Wait. Joan.
37:00We can't leave her behind and we can't let him off the hook, so...
37:05You sure?
37:08I'll be fine.
37:10Okay.
37:28Watch yourself!
37:30I'm so sorry, Aunt Lydia.
37:32What in heaven's name are you doing?
37:34I was looking for a mop and a bucket, and I got myself all turned in circles.
37:41A mop?
37:42I spilled some tea. And, you know, it's all clean now, so...
37:46Sorry again, Aunt Lydia.
37:48Well, you see, I'm going to D.C. tonight.
37:50Tonight? Oh my goodness.
37:51I don't like leaving the girls before the wedding, but it can't be helped.
37:55The girls will be on their best behavior.
37:57You have my word.
37:58And I will hold you to it.
38:01The Lord is watching.
38:03And he will protect us.
38:05And you on your journey.
38:07Safe travels, Aunt Lydia.
38:09Hey, Lydia.
38:39Okay, what are we doing here?
38:43We're here for Janine.
38:45Yeah.
38:46We're here for all of those women.
38:48Yeah.
38:49Yeah.
38:50Yeah.
38:51So, keep going.
38:52I want to say something I'm leader-ish.
38:54Leader-y.
38:55Leader-ish?
38:56Yeah.
38:57Um...
38:58Yeah.
38:59Yeah. So, keep going.
39:04I want to say something leaderish.
39:07Leader-y.
39:08Leader-y.
39:09Yeah.
39:11Um,
39:12the Lord.
39:21The Lord is our shepherd.
39:24We shall not want.
39:29And though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
39:35we will fear no evil, for you are with us.
39:41You comfort us in the presence of our enemies.
39:48Our comes runneth over.
39:52Surely, goodness and mercy
39:55shall follow us all the days of our lives.
40:01And we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
40:07And please,
40:09dear God,
40:14give us the strength to murder those goddamn motherfuckers.
40:19Ah, fucking man.
40:21And we'll be right back.
