00:00on her adjustment all morning.
00:01Well, she's not ready for public viewing at the moment.
00:03The wives were so dismissive today.
00:06They need to be reminded who they're dealing with.
00:08A proper wedding will remind them.
00:10Okay, we'll need to have our wedding in Boston.
00:12The grand celebration fit for the highest commander,
00:15with all the other commanders and their wives.
00:17She's about to become Queen of Gilead.
00:19Where are you gonna be, June?
00:21At the wedding.
00:22All those handmaids?
00:23One giant group, anonymous?
00:24What's wrong with you?
00:25They don't have any weapons.
00:28We'll get them to the Red Center,
00:29then slip them to the posted handmaids at the wedding.
00:31We will use all of our friends.
00:33Everyone and anyone who hates Gilead.
00:36Anyone who has ever been fucked over by that place.
00:39I've scheduled a meeting for you.
00:42The Department of Human Reallocation
00:45will hear your plan tomorrow.
00:46I'd be missing the warden's wedding.
00:48Small sacrifice.
00:49I don't like leaving the girls before the wedding,
00:51but it can't be helped.
00:53Let the revolution begin.
00:55Dear God, give us the strength
00:57to murder those goddamn motherfuckers.
01:15They wanted us to look like we'd been dipped in blood.
01:18Some fairytale figure in a red cloak.
01:22It seems ridiculous now
01:24to contemplate how important clothes were to us before.
01:30We had closets full of them.
01:33We took jobs we hated so we could buy more of them.
01:37So we could be fashionable.
01:39So we could be on trend.
01:42We couldn't figure out how to get rid of them.
01:46So we threw them in the trash.
01:47We poisoned the water.
01:51We brought on ecological collapse.
01:56All because we believed that these garments
01:58that we put on our bodies told the world who we were.
02:03It was a lie.
02:05A lie Gilead believed too.
02:09So they assigned us color.
02:12And we were the color.
02:14They dictated what we wore.
02:17Who we could be.
02:20They used our clothes to divide us.
02:23To dehumanize us.
02:27But tonight, those clothes will be our weapons.
02:34Tonight, we will be the world.
02:38Tonight, we will be the world.
02:43We will use these clothes to start a war.
03:13They put us in red, the color of blood, to mark us.
03:43They forgot that it's also the color of rage.
07:43They forgot that it's also the color of love.
08:13They forgot that it's also the color of war.
08:30Oh, come.
08:32Let us sing unto the Lord.
08:35For the Lord is a great God and a great King above all gods.
08:40Come.
08:42Let us worship for the Lord, our maker.
08:48Dear Lord, we are gathered here to celebrate a new beginning.
08:56New marriage of the faithful and the just.
09:03In accordance with the divine laws of Gilead,
09:06High Commander Wharton, as you pledge fealty and devotion to your new wife,
09:16so we all renew fealty and devotion to her.
09:21For we honor God when we hold fast to our vows.
09:25But we are no longer two but of one flesh.
09:29What God has joined together, no human being must separate.
09:32Dear God, we ask that you bless this union as you forgive us our sins
09:46and purify us from all unrighteousness and temptations of the will.
09:52We have also fallen short of the glory of God.
09:56All of us are cheap, straight, but in your ultimate wisdom,
10:02you allow us to repent and guide us home as it pleases you, Lord Almighty.
10:09We await.
10:10Plan B. Pass them at their reception.
10:13Please, Lord, make this new union as fruitful as the blessed union
10:20with my own wife and bringing forth my own child.
10:25First and forever.
10:55Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome High Commander and Mrs. Gabrielle Wharton.
12:55Joseph.
13:06Serena.
13:07Why are you so nervous?
13:09Nervous?
13:10Why would I be nervous?
13:13Well, despite all this pomp and circumstance, I have not abandoned our goals.
13:17I'm as committed to our forms as ever.
13:20All the more power to you, Serena.
13:23Not just power for me, Joseph.
13:26Power for all the women in Gilead.
13:29Glory be.
13:31Now excuse me while I go visit my most important guests.
13:43You know, your handmaid, my handmaid now.
13:46You know, my dad, he's got the best handmaid in the whole country.
13:51Just one ceremony.
13:52Bam.
13:53Twins every time.
13:57Shit.
13:57Serena's heading over.
13:59Goddamn it.
14:00Handmaids, gather, please.
14:02I'd like to speak with all of you, if I may.
14:04Girls, gather quickly for this work.
14:09Get in the back.
14:10Get in the back.
14:26It is so meaningful to me to have all of you here.
14:31I am painfully aware how little gratitude we show you for your sacred service.
14:38But change is coming.
14:40I am making it my personal goal.
14:43Wonderful.
14:45Girls, say thank you, Mrs. Wharton.
14:46Thank you, Mrs. Wharton.
14:48Thank you so much.
14:54You know, I had a handmaid myself once.
15:00And I could have been kinder to her.
15:04To be honest, she could have been kinder to me.
15:07We both said and did unforgivable things to one another.
15:11But that made us equal in vengeance and in spite.
15:15And now I can count her as a good friend.
15:18And although it has been a challenge to repair our relationship, I do believe that my former
15:25handmaid forgives me.
15:29Mrs. Wharton, Rita.
15:31Rita, I was just speaking about forgiveness and the importance of moving on.
15:39Perhaps you might share how you have done it.
15:42Oh, well, you set a goal and you work towards it.
15:50Keep your eyes on the prize, ladies.
15:53Yes, excellent.
15:56I do wish that I could see all of your faces.
15:59Forgive me for interrupting, Serena, but it's time.
16:02Oh, it's not too early.
16:04No, no, no.
16:04Now's perfect.
16:06All right.
16:09I will be back for our group portrait.
16:11I want all of you unveiled for it.
16:13I would like to celebrate each and every one of you as individuals.
16:17May God bless you.
16:18May God keep you.
16:20Praise be.
16:22May the Lord open.
16:24Just this way.
17:02How long is it going to take?
17:05One to two hours.
17:06They'll go home and they'll fall fast asleep.
17:09And then we're on.
17:11Blessed be the posted handmaids.
17:26This is delicious.
17:27I had my fill, but...
17:28Oh, no, thank you.
17:29Go ahead.
17:30You should have some more.
17:31I think I should.
17:31I think I've had enough.
17:34You don't deserve it.
17:34You eat like a bird.
17:48Get them back to the Red Center.
17:50I'll go with the posted handmaids.
17:52And be careful.
17:56You be careful.
17:58Make sure he's passed out.
17:59Don't worry.
18:01Get them ready.
18:02Blessed be the fruit dears.
18:04May the Lord open.
18:06It's time for our blessed farewell.
18:08Chop, chop.
18:09My girls, back to the Red Center.
18:11The rest to your households.
18:20Pretty lines, girls.
18:21Quick as mice now.
18:29We'll meet you in the Red Center.
18:31Cutspeed.
18:32Take care of them.
18:38Lydia, how wonderful to see you before we head out.
18:41Mrs. Wharton, you look beautiful.
18:44I'll make sure to arrange a plate for you.
18:46I hear it's delicious.
18:47Although, of course, we haven't had a minute to enjoy it ourselves.
18:52Please enjoy.
18:53Praise be.
18:53Praise be.
19:01June?
19:03June?
19:06June?
19:12June?
19:19June?
19:22Praise be it, Lydia.
19:24Hey, Lydia.
19:26I'm so glad you could make it.
19:32Lydia!
19:34You failed on my meetings.
20:01I think June Osborne is here.
20:05You're losing it, lady.
20:07June Osborne is in Alaska.
20:11Alaska?
20:12Commander Lawrence, please.
20:15Aunt Lydia has had a long day and night of travel.
20:18We have to get you a seat before you pass out.
20:21Get her a piece of fruit.
20:22She's hallucinating.
20:26Hi, excuse me.
20:27Can you take Aunt Lydia and get her a big steak and a glass of red wine
20:30and for dessert, some cake?
20:33Thank you so much.
20:34Sweet.
20:59Welcome home.
21:01Mrs. Wharton.
21:06Gift from Commander Bell Sr. is in the parlor.
21:10I think I know what it is.
21:15Wait.
21:18Oh, yes.
21:20I've been wanting to do this.
21:24Welcome to your new home.
21:31What do you think?
21:32It's perfect.
21:50Please.
21:53Bless me the fruit.
21:54May the Lord open.
21:56I'm Commander Wharton.
21:57Praise be to you.
21:58May God make you happy.
22:00May God make me truly worthy.
22:03This is a great honor.
22:04I'm told she's the most fertile handmaid in Gilead.
22:09But I'm fertile.
22:12Yes, of course, God willing.
22:15And we'll try.
22:16But you're only one person, my love.
22:18No.
22:21No, I will not have a handmaid in our house.
22:30We've talked about having a big family.
22:33Now, of Gabriel.
22:34Don't call her that.
22:36That is her name.
22:37No, it's not.
22:40She will help us fulfill our duty to God,
22:44to bear fruit and multiplies our sacred vessel.
22:46She's not a vessel.
22:47She's a human being.
22:50What is your name?
22:51Of Gabriel, ma'am.
22:52No.
22:54What is your real name?
23:00Christina.
23:02Christina.
23:04Christina.
23:05Yes.
23:06Christina.
23:08Christina.
23:12Christina.
23:15No.
23:16No.
23:19Leave this house.
23:21Run.
23:23And don't ever come back.
23:25Gabriel, please.
23:27Go to your room.
23:38What is wrong with you?
23:39I was so stupid to do this again.
23:42Serena.
23:43I was wrong about you.
23:44I thought you were a better man.
23:46But you're just like the rest of them!
23:48Enough!
23:58I have continually indulged you.
24:03Compromised, accommodated.
24:06I have made radical changes to my life.
24:09I have bent to your liberal attitudes.
24:13But I will not turn my back on God.
24:19You think God wants this abomination of a marriage?
24:26You have deceived me.
24:28Serena!
24:42I think he wants you.
24:50I can't stay here.
24:52You have gone insane.
24:54Stop!
24:59I forbid you to go.
25:11Let me out.
25:14No.
25:17You are my wife now.
25:21Your place is in this house.
25:25You have nowhere to go.
25:27You are under my...
25:31Under your what?
25:36Under your what?
25:39Your rule?
25:41What are you going to do?
25:43Cut off my finger?
25:45Beat me with a belt?
25:47Because all of that, all of it has happened to me before.
25:50And I will survive it.
25:52And I will survive you.
25:57I'm not something to survive.
26:03I am a good man.
26:07And a good husband.
26:09You can't be.
26:13You're a commander.
26:23Step aside, Harry.
26:27Mrs. Warden would like to leave.
26:57Let's go.
27:15Sir.
27:17Who was there?
27:19Ma'am?
27:20Who sat there?
27:22The handmaids, ma'am.

30:01Hi, Lydia.
30:03Are you, um, feeling better?
30:05Are the girls all right?
30:07Of course, they're all tucked in, safe and sound.
30:10I, uh, I, um, I made some cookies using your recipe.
30:13Come to the kitchen. I'll show you.
30:14I must check on the girls.
30:16What's going on?
30:18♪♪
30:26♪♪
30:36♪♪
30:40Aunt Lydia.
30:42Blessed evening.
30:43How was the wedding?
30:44Unlock this door.
30:46Open it.
30:52Oh, for goodness sakes.
30:55My apologies, ma'am.
30:59Okay.
31:00Open it.
31:01Peter, stay alert.
31:03Yes, ma'am.

35:44Hi.
35:46♪♪
35:51Thanks.
35:53♪♪
36:00Oh, Lord, God of vengeance!
36:03God of vengeance, appear!
36:05Rise up, judge of the earth,
36:07and render punishment to the proud!
36:10Do you think the Lord does not know what you do?
36:14He who made the ear shall he not hear?
36:17He who formed the eye shall he not see?
36:20And he who knows all shall he not punish the wicked?
36:28Peter.
36:32No. Lydia.
36:34You liar. What are you up to?
36:37Why are they still in their clothes?
36:39Why did they hide their cake?
36:41Aunt Lydia!
36:44Get the fuck away from her!
36:52Who are you?
36:55You don't remember me.
37:00What is your name?
37:03Why do you care?
37:05Why do you care when you stole it from me?
37:14My name...
37:17is Moira.
37:21You fucking bitch.
37:24You're working with her.
37:26Who?
37:28I was right. She's back.
37:30I know she's back.
37:32Where is she?
37:34I don't know who you're talking about.
37:36Where is she?
37:38I will not hesitate to shoot a traitor.
37:41Tell me, where is June Osborne?
37:46I'm right here.
37:51I knew it.
37:53I knew it.
37:55You did this.
37:57No.
37:59Aunt Lydia.
38:01You did it.
38:04You...
38:06trained us to be like this.
38:09After you beat us
38:11and after you mutilated us,
38:14after you tortured us.
38:17After you took our children away.
38:23You did this.
38:26But I think...
38:29that you've seen things
38:31that you can't unsee.
38:34And I think that you've learned things
38:36that you can't unlearn.
38:42And I know
38:44that in your heart of hearts,
38:48you know that rape is rape.
38:52And you know it wasn't our fault.
38:55And we don't deserve this.
38:58And we're not fallen women.
39:01We're rising up
39:03because in each and every one of us
39:07is this immaculate soul
39:11that was given to us by God.
39:16That's just
39:19crying out
39:21for dignity
39:24and freedom.
39:26Do not presume
39:28and freedom.
39:30Do not presume to know what is in my heart
39:33or God's.
39:38Yeah. No, you're right.
39:43I won't.
39:48But I would like you to ask yourself,
39:53Lydia,
39:55if you think that
39:58God wants this
40:00for us,
40:03for your girls,
40:06if God would
40:09allow all of this,
40:13or
40:17is there a God
40:20that would empower
40:23a woman like you
40:25to stand up for us,
40:32to arc toward the light,
40:36and to finally declare
40:41enough.
40:44Because we,
40:47all of us,
40:50together,
40:52we've had enough.
40:58We've had enough.
41:04Oh.
41:09He hurt me, Aunt Lydia.
41:13They hurt us.
41:18They raped us.
41:22You gave us to them.
41:28I only ever meant to
41:31save my girls.
41:33If you want to save us,
41:37let us go.
41:41Please, Aunt Lydia.
41:47Oh.
41:52Oh.
42:22Oh.
42:45I'm sorry he
42:48hurt you, dear.
42:52Oh.
42:55Come.
42:57Come on, let's go.
42:59Let's go.
43:11Come on.
43:22Come on.
43:52Come on.
44:04Oh, God, help me.
44:07God, help me.
44:10Oh, God, help me.
44:17Oh, God help me.
44:22We took the clothes they used to enslave us, to liberate us.
44:36Who were we under those clothes?
44:39Who could we be?
44:40Who had they prevented us from being?
44:45Mothers and daughters, readers and writers, professionals, friends.
44:52We were angry.
44:55We were exhilarated.
44:57We were ready for a new beginning.
45:01The dress became our uniform.
45:04And we became an army.
45:15An army to free us.
