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 sorry.
01:34I'm sorry.
01:35I'm so impressed.
01:36I'm sorry.
01:37How do you see her and myник?
01:39I'm so impressed.
01:44Oh my God!
01:45Wait, wait.
01:46Wait, wait.
01:47Wait, wait.
01:48Wait, wait.
01:49Wait, wait.
01:50Wait, wait.
01:51Wait, wait.
01:52Get out.
01:57Get out!
01:58Get out!
01:59Please!
02:00Please!
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!
03:02No!
03:03No!
03:04No!
03:05No!
03:06It's been talisman!
03:07No!
03:08No!
03:09No!
03:10No!
03:15No!
03:16I don't know.
03:46Your friend was taken.
03:49But I'll find out where.
03:59He wanted the whole place gone.
04:05I never said...
04:07I didn't say it was then.
04:12I never said the girls had anything to do with it.
04:16Are they dead?
04:28I didn't think you would do that.
04:37Take me back.
04:38Stop the car.
05:06We're almost there.
05:07Let me drive you the whole way.
05:09No, let me go.
05:11Jim, 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. We're fucking human. That's what we do.
06:00You're just like them.
06:07And you love me.
06:10So what does that make you?
06:11June.
06:32June.
06:38June!
07:02June!
07:32June!
08:03No, Moira doesn't know how they found it either.
08:06What matters is all those women are dead.
08:16Are you okay?
08:26You heard.
08:27Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:31Look, we, uh...
08:34We're trying to find out what happened.
08:38Nick told them.
08:49Who...
08:50How did he know?
08:51June.
09:01June.
09:04I thought I could trust him.
09:05He's a commander in Gilead.
09:17He doesn't give a shit about the resistance.
09:20He doesn't want us to win.
09:22To win.
09:25The only thing he ever cared about...
09:28Is you.
09:30And because of that, you're gonna 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?
09:42You think I don't see it?
09:43What?
09:44I don't know what to do.
09:45Don't be in love with a fucking Nazi.
09:48How about that?
09:49I don't know what to do.
09:50Don't be in love with a fucking Nazi.
09:54Don't be in love with a fucking Nazi.
09:57How about that?
10:01I don't know what to do.
10:06Don't be in love with a fucking Nazi.
10:07How about that?
10:11How about that?
10:13How about that?
10:41Commander Blaine?
10:43Rita Blue is here to see you.
10:52Hey.
10:56I just wanted to make sure June got out okay.
11:01Yes, she did.
11:04It's hard to see her 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.
11:26Nick, I've known you a long time.
11:33You're a good man.
11:34Not without her.
11:36Yeah, you were.
11:39You were.
11:41Remember we were friends way before June came along, so...
11:44We were never friends.
11:45I was afraid of you.
11:47You were afraid of me.
11:48We would have crossed each other in a second if...
11:54If it helped us to survive.
12:00Yeah, maybe.
12:01Maybe.
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.
12:14Don'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.
12:30I was counting on you.
12:48This is Gilead.
12:52The only person you should count on is yourself.
13:00A 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.
13:27Good.
13:28I 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.
13:43But we do still follow the same values as Gilead proper.
13:46But all those refugees, do they follow God's word?
13:50Can't be safe with them just milling about unsupervised.
13:53It really is quite peaceful.
13:54The 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.
14:06Well, when he talks, it's all he talks about.
14:12My 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, living in harmony with respect to one another?
14:28Well, my husband says that...
14:30And what do you say?
14:31What are your hopes and dreams for Gilead's future?
14:41I will be starting a fertility center in New Bethlehem, which means more healthy children.
14:48Isn'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.
15:12God bless.
15:13Move on.
15:15Move on to where?
15:17To do what, exactly?
15:19These women are holy vessels.
15:22They carried our children.
15:26Where would you suggest that they spend their retirement?
15:29Well, that's for the Commanders to decide.
15:34Though I must say, it is refreshing hearing you give the matter so much consideration.
15:41Who would like more tea?
15:44I'd love some.
15:45You love this.
15:56My office sent options for our house in Boston.
16:00But it's a challenge finding something tasteful that'll be big enough.
16:06Serena.
16:08The wives were so dismissive today.
16:12They mocked my ideas.
16:14They think New Bethlehem is a folly.
16:16Which wives?
16:17All of them.
16:19Well, you're the future Mrs. Wharton.
16:22They will treat you with respect.
16:24Seems their husbands don't support our ideas of reform either.
16:29Well, then they need to be reminded who they're dealing with.
16:38A proper wedding won't remind them.
16:41Hmm.
16:51Okay.
16:53Well, that means we can't get married in New Bethlehem.
16:58We'll need to have our wedding in Buxton.
17:00A grand celebration fit for the highest commander.
17:04With all the other commanders and their wives, the Kano men and women.
17:08And Martha's handmaids.
17:11Handmaids?
17:13It won't be a traditional Gilead wedding without the whole community in attendance.
17:21Yes. I suppose you're right.
17:24It will be a show of unity.
17:26With everyone represented and us on top.
17:28I just hope there's enough time to change venues.
17:36Well, if anyone can make it happen.
17:40It's you.
17:58Blessed day, Aunt Linda.
18:00I can't be bothered today.
18:02Oh, my goodness.
18:04You've not heard the news.
18:06Pray tell Aunt Phoebe.
18:08Commander Bell is insisting we send a fresh cloak and dress to his new handmaid.
18:14The Bells want a handmaid?
18:17But they're newly married.
18:19The commander is insisting he's made his wishes clear.
18:22He wants Janine.
18:25He rescued her from that nightmare at the brothel.
18:30Oh.
18:32Oh, thank God.
18:34Oh.
18:36Oh, thank God.
18:38Oh, thank God.
18:41Oh, thank God.
18:44Oh, thank God.
18:46Oh, thank God.
18:48She's already there, Aunt Lydia, at his house.
18:50Praise be.
18:53Praise be.
18:55Oh.
18:57Oh, praise be.
18:59Praise be.
19:00Praise be.
19:02Ah.
19:04Ah.
19:10I can't believe she could be so scared.
19:13Yes, turn her over now.
19:15Of everyone, she's the one who she knows.
19:17She has a boy.
19:18I've been thinking.
19:19I think we gotta move.
19:20What do we do now?
19:21I trusted him for so long, I...
19:37I forgot who he was.
19:39He never gave you any reason not to trust him.
19:45I mean, you were stuck in Gilead Gideon.
19:50And he was kind to you.
19:55He hoped you'd survive.
19:57I 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.
20:18Shit, if I had a commander at Jezebel's who was trying to save me...
20:21I could fall in love with him, too.
20:25I mean it.
20:27I'm serious.
20:28If he was, like, hot enough...
20:31No one's hot enough.
20:33I'm talking Angelina Jolie.
20:37Hot.
20:38Nick is not Angelina Jolie.
20:41Hot.
20:43Nick is not Angelina Jolie.
20:44Hot.
20:45Not even close.
20:46Halle Berry?
20:47Absolutely not.
20:51Sigourney Weaver.
20:52Alien.
20:53Or oof.
20:55Rihanna.
20:56Are you kidding?
20:57What are you even talking about right now?
20:59No one's hotter than Rihanna.
21:08Hey, Alicia Daddy.
21:09Where's Daddy?
21:10Where's Daddy?
21:11Oh, no.
21:12No coming in, I think!
21:14No one's in the tent.
21:16No one's in the tent.
21:17No one's in the tent.
21:18No one's in the tent.
21:21I'll lead you to it.
21:38I'll be right by you.
21:39It'll be a couple of minutes.
21:42Alan?
21:43No.
21:44I think, um, I couldn't think about how much I was maybe hurting you.
22:08Yeah, well, you've gone through so much.
22:13Don't do that.
22:17That's no excuse.
22:20I don't want you to stay with me because you feel sorry for me.
22:24I don't want you to pity me.
22:30What do you want?
22:34I want you to be happy.
22:37And I want you to be with someone that deserves you.
22:43What do you want?
22:53I should want to leave you.
22:59I should want to leave you.
23:02But I can't.
23:06I can't either.
23:12I miss her so much.
23:25Do you think that she's the only reason we're still together?
23:32Not the only one.
23:49I want you to be with someone that doesn't have time.
24:03Do you want her to lose?
24:05I don't want her to lose her.
24:09Oh, 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.
24:35So, you 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.
25:03Oh, well, then I'll see her at the wedding.
25:07Uh, no, she won't be going to that.
25:09Why not?
25:11Well, she's not ready for public viewing at the moment.
25:13Oh, woman, uh, what a gardener!
25:18Oh, man.
25:21Mmm, mmm.
25:22Mmm, mmm, mmm.
25:23Let's go.
25:53Let's go.
26:23Let's go.
26:53Let's go.
27:23Let's go.
27:24Let's go.
27:25Let's go.
27:26Let's go.
27:27Let's go.
27:28Let's go.
27:29Let's go.
27:30Go 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.
27:38He's still a fucking fascist.
27:45Packing it in?
27:51I always thought you were an idiot for trusting him.
28:06Well, you trusted him too.
28:07You 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
28:17my 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.
28:26They don't want to hear anything from me.
28:29When has that ever stopped you?
28:31Look, I'm really sorry that those commanders want to kill you.
28:38And I'm sorry they're probably going to succeed.
28:42But I really just can't do anything for you right now.
28:46So?
28:47Serena never quit.
28:49No.
28:50She clawed her way back into power.
28:55She's about to become Mrs. Wharton, Queen of Gilead.
29:00Where 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
29:18by handmaids and their beautiful little red veil staring at the floor because they're
29:25not allowed to meet her eyes, that'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?
29:44My last chapter in Gilead ended when those women died.
29:51Janine's not dead.
29:54She probably wishes she were.
30:01That pervert, Belle, made her his handmaid.
30:06I hope she kills him in his sleep.
30:17At the wedding.
30:30Did you say they were going to be handmaids?
30:36She'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.
30:49No one there is going to see anything that she doesn't want them to see.
30:54And while she is planning her perfect wedding, we will be planning too.
31:00We just got busted at Jezebel's, all those women died.
31:03Exactly, they 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, no one will suspect them.
31:11That's a lot of people.
31:12The odds of compromise are extremely high.
31:14Handmaids are trained not to talk.
31:16All those handmaids at that wedding, one giant group, anonymous, veiled, moving as one.
31:22Yeah, that's how we'll hide.
31:25You sure you're ready to go back?
31:27Hell yeah.
31:28I'm going with you.
31:30They don't have any weapons.
31:32Anything they could use is locked up.
31:35I'll smuggle them in.
31:38We'll get them to the Red Center, then slip them to the posted handmaids at the wedding.
31:43We won't be able to extract you.
31:45Not until it's done.
31:46We're going to see this through to the end.
31:48The bombs are still in place.
31:50It would 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.
32:20We will use all of our friends.
32:21Everyone.
32:22And anyone who hates Gilead.
32:23Anyone who has ever been fucked over by that place.
32:37Serena will make sure all eyes stay on her.
32:49Her 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 and having the time of their fucking lives that they will never see us coming.
33:16Blessed evening, Commander.
33:19No doubt.
33:24What 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.
33:37A fertility clinic in New Bethlehem is the perfect tourist trap.
33:42I'd be missing the warden's wedding.
33:57Ah, small sacrifice.
33:59I 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.
34:21May I be of assistance?
34:22Yes.
34:23Hi.
34:24I 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.
34:32God forbid it's one of the girls, but who knows?
34:35I'll check it out.
34:38Better to be safe, right?
34:39You're a dear.
34:41Blessed evening.
34:42You're girls, Lydia.
34:45They need you.
34:46Well, by God's grace.
34:49By His grace.
35:02Blessed be the fruit.
35:19Let the revolution begin.
35:21You're a dear.
35:22Right.
35:23I'm going straight to the republic.
35:24That one girl with the right hair, always having another.
35:26She's the one that we never remember.
35:34Talk.
35:40Yeah, don't you.
35:42Do you?
35:43No, no, no.
35:44No, I don't.
35:45No.
35:46No, no.
35:47You were the other one.
35:48Oh, God.
36:18I 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 Martha's 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.
36:54She hasn't been right in.
36:55What? Shit.
36:56I'll take care of it.
36:58Wait, what?
36:59Jan?
37:00We can't leave her behind and we can't let him off the hook, so...
37:04You 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?
37:41I 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? Oh, 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?
38:51We're here for Janine.
38:53Yeah.
38:55We're here for all those women.
38:58Yeah.
38:59Yeah.
39:00So, keep going.
39:04I want to say something, um, leader-ish.
39:07Leader-y.
39:08Leader-ish.
39:09The Lord is our shepherd.
39:24We shall not want.
39:30And though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
39:34we will fear no evil, for you are with us.
39:41You comfort us in the presence of our enemies.
39:46Surely, 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.
