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.
00:24So you 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!
00:37This Lydia can be so fucking blind.
00:41Have 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.
00:55It has always been you.
00:57Hide!
00:58I didn't let you 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 his Commanders would be grateful to him.
01:22And that Nick has leverage, you know?
01:23I don't know.
01:25I don't know.
01:26I don't know.
01:27I don't know.
01:28Oh God.
01:33Michelle, really?
01:35I'm sorry about this.
01:37I'm sorry.
01:38So impressive.
01:43Oh my God!
01:46I can't hear you.
01:47I can't hear you.
01:48I can't hear you.
01:49I can't hear you.
01:50I can't hear you.
01:52Get out!
01:53Get out! Get out!
02:23Don't! Get up!
02:31Move, you damn standing! Get him in there!
02:34Please, don't hurt them! You don't have to hurt them!
02:36Don't hurt them! No, no, no, no! You do not have to do this!
02:39Don't do this!
02:40Wait!
02:43Not her.
02:44No! No!
02:46No!
02:46Not her!
02:48No!
02:53No!
02:59No!
03:06I'm not sure.
03:07Don't do that.
03:07Don't do that.
03:23Your friend was taken.
03:49But I'll find out where.
03:53He wanted the whole place gone.
04:05I never said...
04:07I didn't say it was them.
04:12I never said the girls had anything to do with it.
04:21Are they dead?
04:23I didn't think he would do that.
04:29Take me back.
04:38Stop the car.
04:56We're almost there.
05:07Stop.
05:08Let me drive you the whole way.
05:09No.
05:10Let me go.
05:10Let me out.
05:11June, what are you doing?
05:15Hey.
05:16You know you never cared what I did when I helped you.
05:25I 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.
05:34You pretend like I'm not a commander or an eye.
05:39Unless it suits you.
05:42I never pretended.
05:44Well you didn't face it.
05:46And now you have to.
05:48You gave up those women to save yourself.
05:58We all want to save ourselves.
05:59We're fucking human.
06:00That's what we do.
06:01You just like them.
06:05And you love me.
06:07And you love me.
06:09So what does that make you?
06:12June.
06:14Don't.
06:16June.
06:17Don't.
06:18June.
06:19June.
06:20June.
06:21June.
06:22June.
06:23June.
06:34June!
06:39June!
06:57June!
07:03June!
07:07June!
07:19June!
07:23June!
07:27June!
07:31June!
07:35June!
07:39June!
07:41June!
07:43June!
07:45June!
07:47June!
07:57June!
07:59June!
08:01June!
08:03June!
08:05June!
08:07June!
08:09June!
08:11June!
08:13June!
08:15Are you okay?
08:25You heard.
08:27Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:31Look, we, uh, we're trying to find out what happened.
08:38Nick told them.
08:45Who, how did he know?
08:59June.
09:04I thought I could trust him.
09:13He's a commander.
09:15In Gilead.
09:18He doesn't give a shit about the resistance.
09:20He doesn't want us to win.
09:25The only thing he ever cared about is you.
09:30And because of that, you're going to run around like he's some hero.
09:36Like he's his fucking savior that you've been pining for ever since you got back.
09:43You think I don't see it?
09:52I don't know what to do.
09:53Don't be in love with a fucking Nazi.
09:58Don't be in love with a fucking Nazi.
10:09How about that?
10:12I don't know what to do.
10:17Come in there Blaine, Rita Blue is here to see you.
10:47Hey, I just wanted to make sure June got out okay.
11:01Yes, you did.
11:04It's hard to say or go.
11:13You know you will see each other again.
11:15Someday you will.
11:17I don't think so.
11:22Why not?
11:24She thinks I'm a monster.
11:29Nick, I've known you a long time.
11:33You're a good man.
11:34Not without her.
11:36Yeah, you were.
11:39You were.
11:42Remember, we were friends way before June came along.
11:44We were never friends.
11:45I was afraid of you.
11:46You were afraid of me.
11:51We would have crossed each other in a second if it helped us to survive.
12:00Yeah, maybe.
12:03Maybe.
12:07Before we knew each other.
12:11But not now.
12:12You're just saying that because you want me to get your family out.
12:22Don't you...
12:26Don't you want to be a man who does the right thing?
12:29I don't get to have what I want.
12:39I was counting on you.
12:48This is Gilead.
12:52The only person you should count on is yourself.
13:15A 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 Marigolds 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.
13:53It 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.
14:06Well, when he talks, it's all he talks about.
14:13My husband says his ideas are too radical.
14:16Reckless, mine says.
14:19Is there anything reckless about a community building on their devotion to God living in harmony with respect to one another?
14:25Well, my husband says that...
14:29And what do you say?
14:30What are your hopes and dreams for Gilead's future?
14:36I will be starting a fertility center in New Bethlehem, which means more healthy children.
14:49Isn't that what this was all about to begin with?
14:52Yes, but the present system works.
14:57I think we can all attest to that.
14:59Exactly.
15:02There will be no handmaids in New Bethlehem.
15:05Except, of course, the ones that retire and work as attendants in the fertility center.
15:09Nobody will want those women around.
15:10Lord, no.
15:11Give me my child. God bless.
15:13Move on.
15:14Move on to where? To do what exactly?
15:18If these 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.
15:40Who would like more tea?
15:44I'd love some.
15:45I'd love some.
15:56My office sent options for our house in Boston.
15:59But it's a challenge finding something tasteful that'll be big enough.
16:05Serena.
16:06The wives were so dismissive today.
16:12They mocked my ideas.
16:13They think New Bethlehem is a folly.
16:15Which wives?
16:16All of them.
16:19Well, you're the future Mrs. Wharton.
16:22They 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.
16:41Well, that means we can't get married in New Bethlehem.
16:44We'll need to have our wedding in Boston.
16:47A grand celebration fit for the highest commander.
16:48With all the other commanders and their wives.
16:49Econo men and women.
16:50And Martha's handmaids.
16:51Handmaids.
16:52Handmaids.
16:53It won't be a traditional Gilead wedding without the whole community in attendance.
16:59Yes.
17:00I suppose you're right.
17:01It will be a show of unity.
17:02With everyone represented and us on top.
17:06I just hope there's enough time to change venues.
17:07It will be a show of unity.
17:08It will be a show of unity.
17:09With everyone represented and us on top.
17:11Handmaids.
17:13It won't be a traditional Gilead wedding without the whole community in attendance.
17:21Yes, I suppose you're right.
17:23It will be a show of unity with everyone represented and us on top.
17:33I just hope there's enough time to change venues.
17:36Well, if anyone can make it happen, it's you.
18:03Blessed day, Aunt Lydia.
18:05I can't be bothered today.
18:06Oh, my goodness.
18:09You've not heard the news.
18:11Pray tell Aunt Phoebe.
18:13Commander Bell is insisting we send a fresh cloak
18:16and dress to his new handmaid.
18:18The Bells want a handmaid?
18:21But 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.
18:34Oh, thank God.
18:42Oh, thank God.
18:44Oh, thank God.
18:47She's already there at Lydia, at his house.
18:50Praise be.
18:52Oh, praise be.
18:55Oh, praise be.
18:59Praise be.
19:01Oh, my God.
19:04Oh, my God.
19:06I'm so scared.
19:10I can't believe she could be so scared.
19:12Yeah, let's turn over now.
19:14Of everyone, she's the one who knows.
19:16He was a boy.
19:18I think we gotta move.
19:20What are we doing now?
19:22Let's just do that.
19:26I trusted him for so long, I forgot who he was.
19:43He never gave you any reason not to trust him.
19:47I mean, you were stuck in Gilead and Giddon.
19:53And he was kind to you.
19:56He helped you survive.
19:59I mean, you'd be dead if it weren't for him.
20:02Shit, we might all be.
20:04That doesn't justify anything.
20:06No.
20:09Um, but it makes it...
20:14I don't know, understandable.
20:19Shit, if I had a commander at Jezebel's who was trying to save me...
20:23I could fall in love with him, too.
20:27I mean it.
20:31I'm serious, if he was, like, 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.
20:45Halle Berry.
20:47Absolutely not.
20:51Sigourney Weaver, Alien.
20:53Or, oof, Rihanna.
20:55Are you kidding?
20:56What are you even talking about right now?
20:58No one's hotter than Rihanna.
20:59No one's hotter than Rihanna.
21:00Yeah.
21:01Keep going.
21:02And, uh...
21:03No one's coming in, I think.
21:04No one's hotter than Rihanna.
21:08Oh no.
21:09I'll be right back.
21:39I'll be right back in a couple of minutes.
21:42Alan, no.
22:01I think I couldn't think about how much I was maybe hurting you.
22:09Yeah, well, 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.
22:24I don't want you to pity me.
22:25What do you want?
22:33I want you to be happy.
22:37And I want you to be with someone that deserves you.
22:42What do you want?
22:52I should want to leave you.
23:03But I can't.
23:11I can't either.
23:12I miss her so much.
23:25Do you think that she's the only reason we're still together?
23:34No.
23:46Not the only one.
23:47I don't know.
24:17Oh, Lydia. Blessed day.
24:25Commander Bell, it is a joy and a privilege.
24:29Mm-hmm. Let 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.
24:49She's quite the firecracker, isn't she?
24:54Blessed day, T.
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.
25:07No, she won't be going to that.
25:09Why not?
25:11Well, she's not ready for public viewing at the moment.
25:13I'm sorry.
25:15I'm sorry.
25:16I'm sorry.
25:24I'm sorry.
25:26Oh, my God.
25:56Oh, my God.
26:26Oh, my God.
26:56Oh, my God.
27:26He's from Gilead Commanders.
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 freaking fascist.
27:40Packin' it in?
27:51I always thought you were an idiot for trusting him.
28:05Well, 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?
28:19I want you to get these people to find another way to kill those commanders, like you promised.
28:27They don't want to hear anything from me.
28:30When has that ever stopped you?
28:31Look, I'm really sorry that those commanders want to kill you, and 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.
28:51No.
28:53She 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?
29:13So when Serena's broadcast all around the world in her beautiful little wedding dress surrounded by handmaids and their beautiful little red veils staring at the floor because they're not allowed to meet her eyes...
29:31That's going to sit right with you?
29:35That's the legacy?
29:39It's the way June Osborne's last chapter in Gilead ends?
29:44My 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 as handmaid.
30:09I hope she kills him in his sleep.
30:18I hope she kills him in his sleep.
30:29At the wedding...
30:31Did you say they were going to be handmaids?
30:38She'll invite everyone important.
30:41She'll put on a huge show.
30:42And she's going to choreograph every move.
30:44She will micromanage every detail.
30:47Where people sit.
30:48What they experience.
30:49No one there is going to see anything that she doesn't want them to see.
30:55And while she is planning her perfect wedding, we will be planning too.
31:00We just got busted at Jezebel's.
31:02All those women died.
31:03Exactly.
31:04They just had a big win.
31:05They're arrogant, they're relaxed, they let their guard down.
31:08The handmaids had nothing to do with Jezebel's.
31:09No one will suspect them.
31:10That's a lot of people.
31:11The odds of compromise are extremely high.
31:14Handmaids are trained not to talk.
31:17All those handmaids at that wedding.
31:19One giant group, anonymous, veiled, moving as one.
31:23Yeah, that's how we'll hide.
31:26You sure you're ready to go back?
31:27Hell yeah.
31:28I'm going with you.
31:31They don't have any weapons.
31:34Anything they could use is locked up.
31:37I'll smuggle them in.
31:38We'll get them to the Red Center, then slip them to the posted handmaids at the wedding.
31:44We won't be able to extract you.
31:46Not until it's done.
31:47Well, we're going to see this through to the end.
31:49The bombs are still in place.
31:51It'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, Gilead will beef up security.
32:03Serena's definitely going to insist on extra guardians at that wedding.
32:07And she's going to pull them from all over the city and the border.
32:10Leaving Boston more unprotected.
32:14We will use all of our friends, everyone, and anyone who hates Gilead.
32:32Anyone who has ever been fucked over by that place.
32:35Serena will make sure all eyes stay on her.
32:50Her narcissism brought down one nation and is about to bring down another.
32:55Because those commanders and those wives are going to be so busy eating and dancing and
33:01having the time of their fucking lives that they will never see us coming.
33:07Blessed evening, Commander.
33:18No doubt.
33:20What brings you to the Red Center, Commander?
33:26I've scheduled a meeting for you.
33:29The Department of Human Reallocation will hear your plan tomorrow in D.C.
33:34I didn't expect you to care about retired handmaids.
33:38Oh, a fertility clinic in New Bethlehem is the perfect tourist trap.
33:55I'd be missing the warden's wedding.
33:57Oh, small sacrifice.
34:00I can't think of anyone who could make the case to D.C. better than you.
34:05Oh, well, I'd like to go, of course, but could I postpone?
34:12No, no, no.
34:13The car will be here in a few minutes.
34:15The flight is, it's tonight.
34:18May I be of assistance?
34:22Yes, hi.
34:23I could use your help.
34:25I think I saw a small break in the fence over there.
34:28Um, might be an animal, maybe a weasel.
34:31God forbid it's one of the girls, but who knows?
34:35I'll check it out.
34:37Better to be safe, right?
34:38You're a dear.
34:39Blessed evening.
34:41Your girls, Lydia, they need you.
34:45Well, by God's grace.
34:48By God's grace.
34:49Blessed be the fruit.
35:14Let the revolution begin.
35:19Let the revolution begin.
35:24That one girl with the red hair always having a mother.
35:43Jesus.
35:44I need you to remember, talk, talk.
35:49I need you to remember.
35:51Ease the truth.
35:53I need you to remember.
35:54I need you to remember, talk, talk.
36:08I 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.
36:42And how about the Marthys network?
36:44Ready and waiting as well.
36:46Good work.
36:48Commander Bell won't let your friend Janine come to the wedding.
36:51So, she doesn't know the plan. She hasn't been right in.
36:54What? Shit.
36:56I'll take care of it.
36:57Wait. Joan.
36:59We can't leave her behind and we can't let him off the hook, so...
37:04You sure?
37:07I'll be fine.
37:09Okay.
37:27Watch yourself!
37:29So sorry, Aunt Lydia.
37:31What in heaven's name are you doing?
37:33I was looking for a mop and a bucket and I got myself all turned in circles.
37:40A mop?
37:41I spilled some tea. And, you know, it's all clean now, so...
37:45Sorry again, Aunt Lydia.
37:47Well, you see, I'm going to D.C. tonight.
37:49Tonight? Oh my goodness.
37:50I don't like leaving the girls before the wedding, but it can't be helped.
37:54The girls will be on their best behavior, you 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.
38:09I'm gonna be on my home, Aunt Lydia.
38:10I will go through the door.
38:11I have left.
38:12I will let her take a shower and get back.
38:13And then, we're going to go over the floor again.
38:14I am sorry.
38:15I am sorry.
38:16I am sorry.
38:17I am sorry.
38:18I am sorry.
38:19I am sorry.
38:20Are you again.
38:21This is a little bit?
38:22This is ourå.
38:23It is never easy to leave.
38:24I am sorry.
38:25You are going to leave.
38:26Please.
38:27And I am sorry.
38:28I am sorry, Aunt Lydia.
38:29You are going to leave.
38:30Yes, nevermind.
38:31No, um, okay, what are we doing here?
38:51We're here for Janine.
38:53Yeah.
38:55We're here for all those women.
38:58Yeah.
38:59Yeah.
39:00So.
39:01Keep going.
39:04I want to say something of leader-ish, leader-y.
39:08Leader-ish.
39:09Yeah.
39:11Um, um.
39:21The Lord is our shepherd.
39:24We shall not want.
39:26And though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil, for you are with us.
39:40You comfort us in the presence of our enemies.
39:46Our combs runneth over.
39:50Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives, and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
40:05And please, dear God, give us the strength to murder those goddamn motherfuckers.
40:18Oh, fucking man.
40:22Oh, fucking man.
