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.
01:10Make the Queen of theены.
01:11He could find a way out of the Tre'an.
01:13You can't see him.
01:14You can't see him.
01:15He's theäll.
01:16But he's the major commander.
01:17I know all he's the best.
01:18You know, I know all he's the best.
01:19Was he able to do it.
01:20You know all?
01:21You know, he can do it.
01:22I went to his elbow.
01:23It's a big deal.
01:24He's a big deal.
01:25I'm sorry about the investigation, I'm sorry.
01:38So impressive.
01:43Oh my gosh.
01:45I'm very cute.
01:47How are you?
01:48I'm late.
01:49We made this mistake.
01:51Get him!
01:58Get him!
02:00Get him!
02:01Move!
02:02Move!
02:03Get him!
02:04Go, stop me!
02:06No!
02:21Don't! Get up!
02:31Move, you damn stater! 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!
02:46No!
02:47No!
02:48No!
02:51You do not have to do this!
02:53No!
02:53No!
02:54Go, go, go!
02:59No!
03:08That was inept.
03:08No!
03:09I'd have to do this!
03:12I'll do this!
03:14You're not up to date!
03:16I'll be at a jokeie!
03:18I'll be at a joke!
03:19I'll be at a joke!
03:20Your friend was taken.
03:47But I'll find out where.
03:59He wanted the whole place gone.
04:06I never said, I didn't say it was then, I never said the girls had anything to do
04:13with it.
04:16Are they dead?
04:23I didn't think you would do that.
04:37Take me back.
04:44Let me drive you the whole way.
04:51Let me drive you the whole way.
04:58Let me drive you the whole way.
05:05Let me go.
05:07Let me go.
05:08Jim, what are you doing?
05:14June.
05:15Hey.
05:16You know you never cared what I did when I helped you.
05:21I killed those two guardians to protect you and your friend and your husband.
05:28And those men were just doing their jobs.
05:30One of them was 19 years old.
05:31You pretend like I'm not a commander or an eye unless it suits you.
05:37I never pretended.
05:38Well, you didn't face it.
05:39And now you have to.
05:44You gave up those women to save yourself.
05:53We all want to save ourselves.
05:54We all want to save ourselves.
05:55We're fucking human.
05:56That's what we do.
06:00You just like them.
06:06And you love me.
06:08So what does that make you?
06:10Jen.
06:11Don't.
06:15June.
06:16Don't.
06:17June.
06:18June.
06:19June.
06:20June.
06:21June.
06:22June.
06:23June.
06:24June.
06:37June.
06:52Oh.
07:52No, Moira doesn't know how they found it either.
08:06What matters is all those women are dead.
08:09I am.
08:16Are you okay?
08:22You heard.
08:27Yeah.
08:29Yeah.
08:31Look, we, uh, we're trying to find out what happened.
08:38Nick told them.
08:39How did he know?
08:59June.
09:00I thought I could trust him.
09:13He's a commander in Gilead.
09:18He doesn't give a shit about the resistance.
09:20He doesn't want us to win.
09:24The only thing he ever cared about is you.
09:31And 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?
09:58Why?
10:04I don't know what to do.
10:05Don't be in love with a fucking Nazi.
10:11How about that?
10:12Come in there, Blaine.
10:41Rita Blue is here to see you.
10:52Hey.
10:55I, uh, I just wanted to make sure June got out okay.
11:01Yes, she did.
11:04It's hard to see her go.
11:05No.
11:11You know, you will see each other again.
11:16Someday, 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.
11:34Not without her.
11:36Yeah, you were.
11:39You were.
11:42Remember, we were friends way before June came along, so...
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...
11:53if it helped us to survive.
11:56Yeah, maybe.
12:04Maybe.
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...
12:23Don'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.
12:44This is Gilead.
12:52The only person you should count on is yourself.
13:14A 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.
13:28I 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?
13:40It 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?
13:50You 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.
13:59It'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.
14:13My husband says his ideas are too radical.
14:17Reckless, 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?
14:25Well, 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,
14:45which means more healthy children.
14:50Isn'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.
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.
15:11Lord, no.
15:11Give me my child.
15:13God bless.
15:13Move on.
15:15Move on to where?
15:16To do what exactly?
15:17These 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.
15:33Though 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.
15:45You love this.
15:46Oh.
15:47Mm-hmm.
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.
16:14They 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.
16:25Seems their husbands don't support our ideas of reform either.
16:30Well, then they need to be reminded who they're dealing with.
16:34A proper wedding will remind them.
16:52Okay.
16:53Well, that means we can't get married in New Bethlehem.
16:57We'll need to have our wedding in Boston.
17:01A grand celebration fit for the highest commander.
17:04With all the other commanders and their wives, econo 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.
17:18Yes, I suppose you're right.
17:24It will be a show of unity with everyone represented in us on top.
17:34I just hope there's enough time to change venues.
17:37Well, if anyone can make it happen, it's you.
17:41Blessed day, Aunt Lydia.
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 and dress to his new handmaid.
18:19The Bells want a handmaid?
18:22But 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.
18:36Oh, oh, thank God.
18:42Oh, oh, thank God.
18:45Oh, oh, oh, oh, thank God.
18:48She's already there, Aunt Lydia, at his house.
18:51Praise be, oh, praise be, oh, oh, praise be.
18:59Praise be.
19:00Praise be.
19:00Praise be.
19:06I trusted him for so long.
19:34And I, I forgot who he was.
19:43He never gave you any reason not to trust him.
19:45I mean, you were stuck in Gilead getting, and he was kind to you.
19:54He hoped you'd survive.
19:59I mean, you'd be dead if it weren't for him.
20:02Sure, we might all be.
20:04That doesn't justify anything.
20:06No.
20:07Um, but it makes it, I don't know, understandable.
20:19Shit, if I had a commander at Jezebel's who was trying to save me, I could fall in love with him too.
20:25I mean it.
20:30I mean it.
20:32Serious, if he was, like, hot enough.
20:36No one's hot enough.
20:39I'm talking Angelina Jolie.
20:41Hot.
20:43Nick is not Angelina Jolie hot, not even close.
20:46Halle Berry?
20:47Absolutely not.
20:51Sigourney Weaver, Alien.
20:53Or, oof, Rihanna.
20:56Are you kidding?
20:57What are you even talking about right now?
20:59No one's hotter than Rihanna.
21:00Yeah, we'll keep going.
21:03Pfft.
21:04Oh, no.
21:24Coming in, I think.
21:25Come on in, Ted.
21:28I'll lead you to it.
21:39I'll be right back.
21:39It'll be a couple minutes.
21:42Alan?
21:43No.
21:43I think, um, I couldn't think about how much I was maybe hurting you.
22:06You know, you'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.
22:24I 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?
23:01I should want to leave you.
23:05But I can't.
23:10I can't either.
23:22I miss her so much.
23:28Do you think that she's the only reason we're still together?
23:45Not the only one.
23:59Well, Lydia, blessed day.
24:13Commander Bell, it is a joy and a privilege.
24:28Mm-hmm.
24:29Let me get that for you.
24:30I prayed to God for her rescue and he delivered you.
24:34You know, God answered my prayers too.
24:40My dear girl of Paul, is she adjusting?
24:45Well, we've been working on her adjustment all morning.
24:47She's quite the firecracker, isn't she?
24:53Blessed day to you.
24:55Would it be possible for me to see her?
24:57Oh, I'm sorry, Aunt Lydia.
24:59No, our girl's very tired after all she's been through.
25:03Oh, well then, I'll see her at the wedding.
25:06Uh, no, she won't be going to that.
25:08Why not?
25:09Well, she's not ready for public viewing at the moment.
25:12No, she's not ready for her at the moment.
25:42I don't know.
26:12I love you.
26:42I love you.
27:12I love you.
27:13You're in the club.
27:14Warhawks want him dead too.
27:15Commander Lawrence, Ellen.
27:16So you're here because you're scared?
27:18You wanna see me that way after everything I've done to help?
27:20Go ahead, knock yourself out.
27:21We got work to do.
27:22We got Warhawks to kill.
27:24I don't take orders from Gilead Commanders.
27:29Go in peace.
27:31What the fuck? Who does he think he is?
27:33Elf.
27:35He's not the one who exposed the plan.
27:38He's still a fucking fascist.
27:49Packing it in?
27:54I always thought you were an idiot for trusting him.
28:07Well, you trusted him, too. You put him in charge.
28:10I was always selective in what I told him,
28:13and I sure as hell never let a smoldering gaze obscure my better judgment.
28:17Why are you here?
28:19I want you to get these people to find another way to kill those Commanders.
28:24Like 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, 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...
28:45Serena never quit.
28:51No.
28:53She clawed her way back into power.
28:54She's about to become Mrs. Wharton, Queen of Gilead.
29:00Where are you going to be, June?
29:03Watching the pageantry in Boston from a trailer park in Alaska?
29:08What makes you think I give a damn about what Serena does?
29:12So, when Serena's broadcast all around the world
29:15and her beautiful little wedding dress surrounded by handmaids
29:19and their beautiful little red veils staring at the floor
29:24because they're not allowed to meet her eyes...
29:30That's gonna sit right with you?
29:32That's the legacy?
29:36It's the way June Osborn's last chapter in Gilead ends?
29:42My last chapter in Gilead ended when those women died.
29:47Janine's not dead.
29:51Janine's not dead.
29:58She probably wishes she were.
30:01That pervert, Belle, made her his handmaid.
30:15I hope she kills him in his sleep.
30:17At the wedding.
30:34Did you say they were gonna be handmaids?
30:37She'll invite everyone important.
30:39She'll put on a huge show.
30:41And she's gonna choreograph every move.
30:43She will micromanage every detail
30:45where people sit, what they experience.
30:49No one there is going to see anything
30:52that 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.
31:02All those women died.
31:03Exactly. They just had a big win.
31:05They're arrogant. They're relaxed.
31:07They let their guard down.
31:08The handmaids had nothing to do with Jezebel's.
31:09No 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.
31:18One giant group, anonymous, veiled.
31:21Moving 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.
31:34I'll smuggle them in.
31:36We'll get them to the Red Center, then slip them to the posted handmaids at the wedding.
31:42We won't be able to extract you. Not 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.
31:52Chaos, panic, confusion in the city. A perfect time to bring in your military.
31:56This 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.
32:06And she's going to pull them from all over the city and the border.
32:10Leaving Boston more unprotected.
32:11We will use all of our friends. Everyone. And anyone who hates Gilead. Anyone who has ever been fucked over by that place.
32:41Serena will make sure all eyes stay on her. Her 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.
33:11Blessed evening, Commander.
33:18No doubt.
33:23What brings you to the Red Center, Commander?
33:26I've scheduled a meeting for you. The 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.
33:55I'd be missing the warden's wedding.
33:58Small 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. The car will be here in a few minutes. The flight is, it's tonight.
34:21May I be of assistance?
34:22Yes. Hi. I could use your help.
34:25I think I saw a small break in the fence over there. Um, 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.
34:36Thank you. Better to be safe, right? You're a dear.
34:40Blessed evening.
34:42You're girls, Lydia. They need you.
34:45Well, by God's grace.
34:48By God's grace.
34:49By God's grace.
34:50call love.
35:09Blessed be the fruit.
35:12Blessed be the fruit.
35:18Let the revolution begin.
35:42I think she's the one that needs to be remembered.
35:47Talk.
36:12I can't believe you guys are here.
36:25The handmaids are on board, but they're not going to believe it.
36:30Not until they see you.
36:33I can't believe you guys are here.
36:37The handmaids are on board, but they're not going to believe it.
36:40Not until they see you.
36:42And how about the Marthies 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.
36:53She hasn't been right in.
36:54What? Shit.
36:55I'll take care of it.
36:57Wait.
36:58Joan.
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.
37:43And, you know, it's all clean now, so...
37:46Sorry 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.
38:09Where are you going?
38:10I'll go look back to my heart.
38:11I'll look back to my heart.
38:13I'll be back.
38:14A lot of things have been bad for me, so...
38:15The Lord is so sorry.
38:16I'm not even waiting...
38:17I'm not even hungry.
38:18I already have a father here.
38:19I'm not looking back to my house.
38:20I don't know.
38:21I want to walk behind my house.
38:22I'm not going back to your house.
38:23I'm not even really happy with the man.
38:24It's not on my way.
38:25I'm not going to go over here.
38:26No, um, okay, what are we doing here?
38:51We're here for Janine.
38:53Yeah.
38:53We're here for all of those women.
38:58Yeah, yeah, so keep going.
39:04I want to say something, I'm leader-ish, leader-y.
39:08Leader-ish?
39:09Yeah.
39:12The Lord is our shepherd.
39:23We shall not want.
39:30And 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.
39:46Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives.
40:00And 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.
40:21Oh, fucking man.
40:21No, my God.
40:23No, my God.
40:23No, my God.
40:25No, my God.
40:31Yeah.
40:32Oh, my God.
