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.
01:10Those Commanders will be grateful to him.
01:23And Nick has leverage now.
01:24It was Nick who knew they were...
01:29You pausing him!
01:30I love you.
01:32Is she a real issue?
01:34I'm sorry about the investigation.
01:36I'm sorry.
01:38So impressive.
01:44Oh my God!
01:48We made this decision.
01:56Get out!

02:37Don't hurt them!
02:38No, no, no!
02:39You do not have to do this!
02:40Don't do this!
02:41Wait!
02:43Not her.
02:45Get out!
02:47Get out!

03:31Get out!
03:33Get out!
03:35Your 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 them.
04:12I never said the girls had anything to do with it.
04:21Are they dead?
04:28I didn't think he would do that.
04:35Take me back.
04:38Take me back.
04:38Stop the car.
04:40We're almost there.
04:44Stop.
04:44Let me drive you the whole way.
05:09No.
05:10Let me go.
05:11Jim, what are you doing?
05:12Out.
05:20June.
05:21Hey.
05:22You know you never cared what I did when it helped you.
05:25I killed those two guardians to protect you.
05:28And your friend.
05:29And your husband.
05:31And 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.
05:41Unless it suits you.
05:43I never pretended.
05:45Well, you didn't face it.
05:47And now you have to.
05:48You 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.
06:05You just like them.
06:07And you love me.
06:08So what does that make you?
06:19June.
06:19Don't.
06:20Don't.
06:20June.
06:34June.
06:39June.

07:05June.
07:06June.
07:07June.
07:08June.
07:39No, Moira doesn't know how they found it either.
08:05What matters is all those women are dead.
08:11Are you okay?
08:17Are you okay?
08:25You heard.
08:27Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:31Look, we, uh, we're trying to find out what happened.
08:36Nick told them.
08:39How did he know?
08:51June.
08:52I thought I could trust him.
08:57He's a commander in Gilead.
09:17He doesn't give a shit about the resistance.
09:20He doesn't want us to win.
09:23The only thing he ever cared about is you.
09:29And because of that, you're gonna run around like he's some hero?
09:34Like he's his fucking savior that you've been pining for ever since you got back?
09:51You think I don't see it?
09:59What?
10:04I don't know what to do.
10:07Don't be in love with a fucking Nazi.
10:09I don't know what to do.
10:10How about that?
10:11How about that?
10:12How about that?
10:16No.
10:41Commander Blaine?
10:43Rita Blue is here to see you.
10:46Hey, I just wanted to make sure June got out okay.
11:01Yes, you did.
11:04It's hard to see her go.
11:13You know, you will see each other again. Someday you will.
11:18I 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.
11:35Not without her.
11:36Yeah, you were.
11:39You were.
11:42Remember, we were friends way before June came along.
11:44We were never friends.
11:46I was afraid of you.
11:47You 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.
12:05Before we knew each other.
12:09But not now.
12:11You're just saying that because you want me to get your family out.
12:15Don't you...
12:26Don'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.
12:43This is Gilead.
12:49The only person you should count on is yourself.
13:02A bridal shower really was the last thing on my mind.
13:19I'm very touched.
13:21Well, we had to celebrate.
13:23Did you stop by Marigolds for your gown?
13:25Well, they really do make the most exquisite dresses.
13:28Good.
13:29I was worried you'd use some tacky little dress shop at New Bethlehem.
13:34We've heard so many stories.
13:36What's it really like there?
13:38Is it as modern as people say?
13:41It is less strict, but we do still follow the same values as Gilead proper.
13:46But all those refugees, do they follow God's word?
13:49You can'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.
14:01High Commander Lawrence is really responsible for the success of New Bethlehem.
14:07Well, when he talks, it's all he talks about.
14:12My 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,
14:23living in harmony with respect to one another?
14:28Well, my husband says that...
14:30And what do you say?
14:34What are your hopes and dreams for Gilead's future?
14:42I 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?
14:53Yes, but the present system works.
14:57I think we can all attest to that.
14:59Exactly.
15:03There 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.
15:11Lord, no.
15:12Give me my child.
15:13God bless.
15:14Move on.
15:15Move on to where?
15:16To do what, exactly?
15:19These women are holy vessels.
15:21They carried our children.
15:26Where would you suggest that they spend their retirement?
15:28Well, that's for the commanders to decide.
15:31Though I must say, it is refreshing hearing you give the matter so much consideration.
15:42Who'd like more tea?
15:44I'd love some.
15:45I'd love some.
15:46I'd love some.
15:47Absolutely.
15:48My office sent options for our house in Boston, but it's a challenge finding something tasteful that'll be big enough.
16:06Serena.
16:07The wives were so dismissive today.
16:13They mocked my ideas.
16:14They think New Bethlehem is a folly.
16:16Which wives?
16:17All of them.
16:20Well, you're the future Mrs. Wharton.
16:22They will treat you with respect.
16:26Seems their husbands don't support our ideas of reform either.
16:30Well, then they need to be reminded who they're dealing with.
16:37A proper wedding will remind them.
16:52Okay.
16:54Well, that means we can't get married in New Bethlehem.
16:59We'll need to have our wedding in Boston.
17:02A grand celebration fit for the highest commander.
17:04With all the other commanders and their wives.
17:06Econo men and women.
17:08And Martha's handmaids.
17:12Handmaids?
17:14It won't be a traditional Gilead wedding without the whole community in attendance.
17:22Yes, I suppose you're right.
17:24It will be a show of unity with everyone represented in us on top.
17:28I just hope there's enough time to change venues.
17:36Well, if anyone can make it happen, it's you.
17:40It's you.
17:41It's you.
17:42It's you.
17:43You're right.
17:44It's your mother.
17:45It's you.
17:46You're right.
17:47Blessed day, Aunt Linda.
18:06I can't be bothered today.
18:08Oh, my goodness.
18:10You've not heard the news.
18:12Pray tell, Aunt Phoebe.
18:14Commander Bell is insisting we send a fresh cloak
18:17and dress to his new handmaid.
18:19The Bells want a handmaid,
18:21but they're newly married.
18:23The commander is insisting he's made his wishes clear.
18:28He wants Janine.
18:31He rescued her from that nightmare at the brothel.
18:38Oh.
18:40Oh, thank God.
18:42Oh, oh, thank God.
18:45Oh, oh, oh, oh, thank God.
18:48She's already there at Lydia, at his house.
18:51Praise be.
18:52Oh.
18:53Praise be.
18:55Oh.
18:57Oh, praise be.
18:59Praise be.
19:00Praise be.
19:00I don't know.
19:30I trusted him for so long, I forgot who he was.
19:39He never gave you any reason not to trust him.
19:45I mean, you were stuck in Gilead and Gideon.
19:51And he was kind to you.
19:55He hoped you'd survive.
19:58I mean, you'd be dead if it weren't for him.
20:01Shit, we might all be.
20:03That doesn't justify anything.
20:05No.
20:07Um, but it makes it, I don't know, understandable.
20:15Shit, if I had a commander at Jezebel's who was trying to save me, I could fall in love with him too.
20:28I mean it.
20:30I'm serious, if he was, like, hot enough.
20:33No one's hot enough.
20:37I'm talking Angelina Jolie.
20:40Hot.
20:41Nick is not Angelina Jolie hot, not even close.
20:45Halle Berry?
20:46Absolutely not.
20:50Sigourney Weaver, Alien.
20:52Or, oof, Rihanna.
20:55Are you kidding?
20:56What are you even talking about right now?
20:58No one's hotter than Rihanna.
20:59Yeah, yeah.
21:00Keep going.
21:01And, uh...
21:02Oh, no.
21:03He's coming in, I think.
21:26One in ten.
21:28I'll lead you to it.
21:38I'll be right back.
21:39It'll be a couple of minutes.
21:41Alec?
21:42No.
21:58I think, um, I couldn't think about how much I was maybe hurting you.
22:09Yeah, well.
22:11You've gone through so much.
22:13Don't do that.
22:16That'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.
22:27What do you want?
22:32I want you to be happy.
22:37And I want you to be with someone that deserves you.
22:42What do you want?
22:51What do you want?
22:55I should want to leave you.
23:02I don't want to leave you, but I can't.
23:11I can't either.
23:23I miss her so much.
23:25Do you think that she's the only reason we're still together?
23:45Not the only one.
23:55I don't want to do it again.
23:57On 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.
24:49She'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.
25:04Well, 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.
25:13Who's on?
25:34Huh?
25:35Huh?
25:35I don't know.
26:05I don't know.
26:35I don't know.
27:05I don't know.
27:09We should kill you for what happened.
27:12Join the club.
27:13Warhawks want him dead too.
27:15Commander Lawrence, Ellen.
27:16So you're here because you're scared?
27:18You want to see me that way after everything I've done to help?
27:20Go ahead. Knock yourself out.
27:22We got work to do.
27:23We got Warhawks to kill.
27:24I don't take orders from Gilead commanders.
27:29Go in peace.
27:31What the fuck?
27:32Who does he think he is?
27:34Ellen.
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.
28:14And 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.
28:25Like you promised.
28:27They don't want to hear anything from me.
28:30When has that ever stopped you?
28:32Look, I'm really sorry that, uh...
28:36Those commanders want to kill you.
28:39And I'm sorry they're probably going to succeed.
28:42But I really just can't do anything for you right now, so...
28:47Serena never quit.
28:49Oh.
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,
29:18surrounded by handmaids and their beautiful little red veils staring at the floor,
29:24because they're not allowed to meet her eyes.
29:27That's...
29:28That's going to sit right with you?
29:36That'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.
29:53She probably wishes she were.
30:01That pervert, Belle, made her his handmaid.
30:06I hope she kills him in his sleep.
30:18I hope she kills him in his sleep.
30:18At the wedding.
30:35Did you say they were going to be handmaids?
30:38She'll invite everyone important.
30:40She'll put on a huge show, and she's going to choreograph every move.
30:44She will micromanage every detail, where people sit, what 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, we will be planning, too.
31:01We just got busted at Jezebel's.
31:02All 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, moving as one.
31:23Yeah, that's how we'll hide.
31:26You sure you're ready to go back?
31:27Hell 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, 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.
31:47We'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.
32:02Serena'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.
32:13We 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 and is about to bring down another.
32:54because those commanders and those wives are going to be so busy eating and dancing
33:00and having the time of their fucking lives that they will never see us coming.
33:16Blessed evening, commander.
33:19No 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.
33:38A fertility clinic in New Bethlehem is the perfect tourist trap.
33:50I'd be missing the warden's wedding.
33:57Ah, small sacrifice.
34:00I can't think of anyone who could make the case to D.C. better than you.
34:06Oh, well, I'd like to go, of course, but could I postpone?
34:13No, no, no.
34:13The car will be here in a few minutes.
34:16The flight is, it's tonight.
34:18May 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.
34:42Your girls, Lydia, they need you.
34:47Well, by God's grace.
34:49By God's grace.
34:50Blessed be the fruit.
35:14Let the revolution begin.
35:21That one girl, with the red hair, always be my mother.
35:44She's the one who we can remember.
35:47She's the one who knows.
36:12I can't believe you guys are here.
36:39The handmaids are on board, but they're not going to believe it.
36:41Not until they see you.
36:43And how about the Marthies network?
36:45Ready and waiting as well.
36:46Good work.
36:49Commander Bell won't let your friend Janine come to the wedding.
36:52So, she doesn't know the plan.
36:54She hasn't been right in.
36:55What?
36:55Shit.
36:56I'll take care of it.
36:58Wait.
36:59Jan?
37:00We can't leave her behind and we can't let him off the hook, so...
37:03You sure?
37:08I'll be fine.
37:10Okay.
37:11Watch yourself.
37:30So 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.
37:44And, you know, it's all clean now, so...
37:47Sorry again, Aunt Lydia.
37:48Well, you see, I'm going to D.C. tonight.
37:50Tonight?
37:51Oh, my goodness.
37:52I don't like leaving the girls before the wedding, but it can't be helped.
37:55The girls will be on their best behavior.
37:58You have my word.
37:59And I will hold you to it.
38:01The Lord is watching.
38:04And he will protect us.
38:06And you on your journey.
38:08Safe travels, Aunt Lydia.
38:09Oh, my God.
38:39Okay, what are we doing here?
38:46We're here for Janine.
38:52Yeah.
38:53We're here for all of those women.
38:56Yeah.
38:57Yeah.
38:58So, keep going.
39:01I want to say something leaderish, leader-y.
39:07Leaderish.
39:10The 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 shall follow us all the days of our lives.
39:59And 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.
