All language subtitles for The.Handmaids.Tale.S03E03.1080p.BluRay.x265-RARBG

Fred, stop! Stop it, Fred! Ofjoseph:
Previously on the handmaid's tale...

You let them do that to Serena.

We all have our roles to play.

Serena needed
to be reminded of hers.

Did you try to find me?

I tried so hard.

Why didn't you try harder?

What did you do?

I did what was best
for my child.

You're getting out of gilead.

Have a nice life!
Don't get caught!

You gave her to a murderer!

I sent her away, Fred.
It was my choice.

I drove you to desperation.

It's the handmaid.

You're sweet on her, aren't you?

It's dangerous, my friend.

You're helping her escape? Yes.

She just needs
a safe place to wait.

It's your funeral.

Ofjoseph: Come on!

Lawrence: Women like you
are like children.

Asking for too much,
taking whatever you want.

Damn the consequences.

Who's in the basement?
Just Beth.

We saw a rat. She screamed.

That's a lie.

I knew it was mistake
taking you in.

Lawrence: Clean it up.

Ofjoseph: Heresy.

That's what they're hanging for.

Not for being part of the
resistance because, officially,

there is no resistance.

Not for helping people escape
because, officially,

there is
no such thing as escape.

They hang for being heretics,
not martyrs.

Martyrs inspire.

Heretics are just stupid.

Was I being stupid?

I don't think Cora's up there.

I don't think
Lawrence would do that.

Ofjoseph: Do you
recognize anybody?

Alma: It's impossible to tell.

They're starting to smell.

Looks like the same batch
from yesterday.

And the day before.

Maybe they're done.

With Marthas.

Who's next?

Guardian: No talking!

And, you, go join
your walking partner.

Ofjoseph: Lfl'm going
to survive this,

I'll need allies.

Allies with power.

Ofjoseph: To be a man
watched by women,

it must be entirely strange.

To have them watching him
all the time.

To have them flinch
when he moves.

To have them wondering,
"what is he going to do next?

"Does he like me?

"Will he keep me?

"Am I safe here?"

Cora wasn't.

Blessed be the fruit.

May the lord open.

Got the groceries. Anything
else I can do? I got it.

Could you plate
the pastries, please?

No problem.

Why are they coming here?

I don't know.

My old commander said
Lawrence won't go to meetings.

They want to talk to him,
they have to come here.

That's how powerful he is.

Hmm. Thanks for the insight.

Lawrence: Oh!

Sienna!

Sienna!

I went to the square.

I don't think Cora's up there.

So, she's on a bus
to the colonies?

Have you been getting
any messages at all?

Anyone who knows anything

is probably up on those gallows.

Lawrence: Beth, refill.

Coming.

He's testing us.

We're all disposable.

Are Marthas supposed
to be clean?

Would you consider that
a basic criteria for the job?

Can I get the door for you, sir?

I don't know. Are you

capable of solving problems?

Of making decisions?

Do you know what the penalty is?

For handmaids
who open front doors?

I'm actually asking.
I don't know.

What do you think
the penalty should be?

What would be fair?

Forget it. Forget it.

I guess you're not capable.

Warren: The shipment of females
from Chicago arrived yesterday.

Well, we have needs
in the agricultural colonies.

They're not worthy
of the colonies.

Lawrence: I'm looking at

a utility maximization framework
with a deteriorating labor supply.

I need workers.

Blessed be the fruit.

May the lord open.

I hope you and
Mrs. Waterford are well.

Do you?

Is Serena okay?

Well, after what you put
us through, I'm not sure.

She's tough.

She'll be okay.

So, how is your

new house treating you?

I pray that god will make me
worthy of my new commander.

Oh, I'm sure
you'll prove yourself.

Ofjoseph: What do you
know about him?

He's an interesting man.

Instrumental in gilead's
creation. Our visionary.

Mmm. What else?

We've always found him
a bit hard to read.

Well, if you can't read him,
I don't know who can.

Lawrence is a survivor.

Aren't we all, sir?

He is particularly
well suited to it.

He's not sentimental,
not like me.

I never found you

overly sentimental, sir.

You were merciful.

You know, after everything...

I'm still alive.

I will always be grateful
to you for that.

But I am not
in your house anymore.

I need you to tell me

anything about Lawrence
that you think could help me.

He does not like to be bored.

But I guess you
knew that already.

Blessed day, commander Lawrence.

It's a privilege to be
in your home again.

Yeah, I always hated commuting.

You two know each other.

Oh, yes.

You used to be offred.

Do you miss it?

Commander Fred:
Well, she's ofjoseph now.

I should let you go.

Sure. Under his eye.

Lawrence: You working hard?

Yes.

At what?

You don't have to answer that.

Serena: I'm not cold, mom.
Pamela: Oh, yes, you are.

Our prayer circle's
coming to the house today.

I'll try and stay out
of your way. No.

No, they all want to see you.

What an honor for them.

I don't want to hang out
with your friends, mom.

You're an excellent
conversationalist.

It wouldn't be a real visit

if I didn't get to show you off.

I don't have any clothes.

Mrs. Manning gave us
a dress that she's outgrown.

I think it will fit.

Serena: This won't be too bad.

I'm gonna take it up a bit.

Fix that neckline.

There you are.

Praise be.

You look beautiful.

Sienna: Lawrence wants you pouring
the commanders' drinks instead of me.

He said I wasn't
pouring fast enough.

Calhoun: Pages ten through 16,

detail the expansion of our
training facility in fort Stevens.

Warren: To support
the troop surge in Chicago.

Calhoun: Phase one of the surge.

We need to prepare ourselves for
more troop deployments down the line.

Warren: One last measured push,

and Chicago should roll up the
last of the insurgent strongholds, no?

Calhoun:
The insurgency's contagious.

We need to look at starting a
steady, sustained bombing campaign.

No, there is value
to be mined there.

Children, fertile women.
Move on to the next.

On page 17,
you'll see a timeline

depicting a series of district-wide
salvagings beginning next week.

Commander Fred: I thought we
discussed sending them to the colonies?

Calhoun: The colonies are
a slap on the wrist.

Warren: They are merely women.

Calhoun: Women under
the sway of terrorists.

We don't want our own women
becoming restless, do we?

Salvagings are an effective
tool of instruction.

It's been too long
since the last one.

We know women can inflate
their abilities

and think they belong
in places they don't.

But they can also be put to use.

And they can be fun.

Ofjoseph?

We're puzzling out how to assess

an individual's value in the
world as it pertains to gender.

Weren't you a book editor,
once upon a time?

Yes, sir.

Are there any books
on the topic?

Yes, sir.

Many.

Lawrence: Sex differences
in cognitive abilities.

The descent of man.

An oldie but a goodie. That's...
That's what you were thinking of, right?

I think I have it
here somewhere.

Uh, would you get it for me?

It's on top of the bookcase
to the right of the door.

Lawrence: Oh, the stack
on the left.

Third book down.

Yellow lettering.

Good job.

Is there anything else
I can help you with, sir?

Lawrence: No, I'm good.

You're done.

See? Women can be useful.

Rita: Your mother has
a lot of friends.

Serena: She's an excellent
conversationalist.

Rita: I made something for you.

Here.

You will get
through this, ma'am.

By his hand.

What's left of it.

Daniel: Though
the earth give way,

though the mountains
fall into the sea...

All: God is
our refuge and strength.

Daniel: Dear lord,
please heal my wife.

For my beloved is mine
and I am hers.

All: God is
our refuge and strength.

Daniel: And the lord shall
guide thee continually

and satisfy thy soul in drought.

Make fat thy bones.

All: Show us thy mercy, o lord.

Daniel: Thank you
for your prayers.

Is anyone else
in need of comfort?

Serena?

Dear lord, Serena joy
has suffered a great loss.

Please give her relief
from her distress.

Be merciful to her
and hear her prayers.

The lord is close
to the brokenhearted.

All: He rescues those
whose spirits are crushed.

Daniel: Psalm 6:2, please.

Be merciful, o lord,

for I am faint.

Heal me, o lord,
for my soul is in anguish.

Daniel: Dear lord, we pray

for the safe return
of Serena's child.

And we pray
for her marriage to heal.

All: For love
is strong as death.

Daniel: Wives, submit yourselves

unto your own husbands,
as unto the lord.

All: For the husband
is the head of the wife.

Daniel: Even as Christ
is the head of the church,

so let the wives be

to their own husbands
in everything.

All: Let every wife

see that she revere herhusband.

This is the word of the lord.

Commander Fred:
When we first were married,

I'd come home and open
the door but just a crack.

I'd wait.

I'd listen for your footsteps.

I'd push open the door
a little more.

I'd get a glimpse of your hair,

long and loose.

I'd dole out to myself

little helpings of you,
like a kid with dessert.

The kind of man I had become.

Married to a woman like you.

Coming home to you.

Other men, I

Felt sorry for.

They had nothing to work for,
nothing to fight for.

They didn't get to have you.

A commander is

the head of the household.
The house is

what he holds.

To have and to hold,
till death do us part.

I may not be a perfect man but I

will try to be better.

If I lose you,

I lose everything.

Jezebel: That sounds good.

Would you like to
run through it again?

Ofjoseph: I compose myself.

My self is a thing
I must now compose

as one composes a speech.

I'm not proud
of myself for this.

Or for any of it.

Lawrence: What?

Lawrence: You think an accountant
could make a good cook?

Yes, sir.

Binders full of women.

I thought you might
like some tea.

Lawrence: Thanks.

Long day?

My work is just beginning.

At least the people are gone.

Ofjoseph: It's tiring
having people around.

Does it seem like that would
be particularly difficult

for someone like me?

Oh, I don't really know
what you're like, sir.

Do you consider yourself good
at managing people?

Not particularly, no.

You seem like you'd be good
at making friends.

Good at influencing people.

Good at intimacy.

Thank you.

Did this really work on Fred?

Not exactly
an intellectual giant.

But, then again,
neither are you.

Perhaps you don't know me
well enough yet, sir.

Here's what I don't get.

Ifwomen don't want
to be defined by their bodies,

why are they always using them
to get what they want?

Maybe they aren't.

Maybe men are just
too easily distracted.

Speaking of the waterfords, you
really mucked up that house, didn't you?

Had Fred demoted, Serena
defingered, baby baby-napped.

You left the place
literally in ashes.

Do you think they got
what they deserved?

No one in gilead gets
what they deserve, sir.

How could they not realize
how transactional you are?

I did what I had to do.

You think if you get me
to like you, I'll help you?

I think that you might try.

I think you might try
to do the right thing.

What do you know
about the right thing?

I know you helped Emily
escape with that baby.

And I know you let the Marthas run
a resistance network outofyourhouse.

You have to let the rabble-rousers
blow off a little steam,

or they'll smash
everything to bits.

Do you want to know
why I helped Emily?

I think you feltguilty.

I think you felt sorry for her.

You want me to feel guilty
and sorry for you?

Do you?

I helped Emily

because she is unnaturally smart

and could be useful
to the world one day.

If you were smart, you would
have gotten on that truck.

You know why I couldn't.

I think I care more about
your daughter than you do.

I'm saving the planet for her.

I'm replenishing
the human race for her.

What are you doing?

I am trying to be her mother!

She has a mother.

You met Mrs. MacKenzie.

She's a lovely woman. She
never stole anybody's husband.

Do you know that she
organized 1,000 food baskets

for orphans in Africa back
when there were orphans?

What did you ever do
to help anyone?

Except edit esoteric,
useless books

that no one was ever gonna read

instead of picking up your
sick daughter from school.

Useless.

You wrote esoteric books.

You did that.

God, it must be scary, huh?

Seeing the numbers on those
spreadsheets turn into real people?

Real people being executed?

Knowing that if no one had read
your books, we would all be better off.

It must be he”
being a man like that.

Far worse than useless.

You know what? I get it.

I get why you would do this.

I suppose you would hole
yourself up in a house like this,

playing games
with people's heads,

doing a good deed or two
every once in a while,

so that you can
fucking sleep at night.

How tempting it is to

invent a humanity

for anyone at all.

Come on.

Let's take a drive.

There will be no salvagings.

They're bound for
the colonies tomorrow.

So they'll die anyways?

Lawrence: All save five.

I was able to requisition five
to serve as Marthas.

Good for you.

Five is better than none.

Make them all Marthas.

We only have five openings.

You get to choose

who is worthy

of becoming a Martha.

You'll have all
the information you need.

Names, ages, occupations,

academic attainments,
moral stains.

That's dumb.

Who gets to define morality?

Just choose the best people
for the job.

I thought you might enjoy
being useful, for once.

None of them deserves to die.

What if I told you, if you
don't choose, they all die?

I am not responsible
for their deaths.

You are. Gilead is.

A technical distinction

that won't mean anything
to these women.

But I can see
it's important to you.

And that's more important
than anything else, isn't it?

I'm not doing it.

I won't.

Lawrence: Close it.

Pamela: Oh, you're all wet.

You've gotten too used to
the mild climate in the city.

She's forgotten how we must
battle the elements out here.

Why don't you go upstairs,
dear, change?

I'm fine. You need to get
out of those wet things.

No, I'm fine.

Pamela: Let Clara fix you
some warm pumpkin soup.

Ciara, can you please excuse us?

I really wish that you hadn't
invited those people over.

I'm sorry, dear.

You told them everything
about me and about my marriage.

You're right.
I shouldn't have done that.

Serena: Why did you do it?

Now that I know,
I won't do it again.

What can I make
you to eat, dear?

Serena: Stop it!

You want me to go back to Fred.

Pamela: I only want
you to be happy.

I need you to know what it
was like between us... no.

Serena: And the things
that we did.

Those things are private.

That's because you
don't want to know.

Because none of it matters.

Look at you,

all the gifts you've been given.

But you need everything
to be exactly how you want.

A spoiled little girl.

I'm sorry.

You know there's no place in
this world for you without Fred.

You need to take a deep breath
and see things.

You're a beautiful woman.

And Fred,

you and Fred together,
the waterfords?

What a fine couple.

That doesn't mean anything.

Pamela: It can.

It can mean everything,
if you let it.

Oh, god.

Stop, Serena. Enough drama!

It's the worst thing in the
world to watch your child in pain.

The worst pain
any mother could bear.

No, it isn't.

What?

It's not the worst.

It might help you to stop
indulging those feelings.

The self-pity.

You gave that baby away.

And it wasn't even yours.

I'm going to draw you
a hot bath.

A hot bath will help.

Hey.

You're not here for me.

How did this happen?

Itwas my due.

So you're a commander now, and you
can go get Hannah. You can get me out.

I'm sorry.

Why? Why can't you?

Is there something wrong
with Lawrence?

Lawrence is a psychopath.

What do you know about him?

I don't know anything.

Can you find out?

Not really. He's too high up.

What can you do?

Can you do anything?

What are you good for?

I'm getting deployed.

To the front.

Chicago.

You'll get killed.

I wanted to say goodbye.

Goodbye.

Sienna: You have a visitor
in the parlor.

Blessed be the fruit.

How are you?

Serena?

Do you think about her?

Every minute.

How do you stop?

How do you remember her?

How do you see her?

In the bath.

She loved the water.

She's gonna be a swimmer.

Remember how she
used to raise her hand?

It's like she had
a point to make.

That's the politician in her.

I think she gets that from you.

She isn't mine.

Serena,

only a mother could do
what you did.

If you canjust think...

If you can just think about
all the other mothers

who have...

Who have had their children
taken away from them.

Like you.

There has to be
something we can do.

That isn't why I came here.

We can help each other.

We cannot count on them.

They hate us, Serena.

They are not on our side.

I tried.

You have to try harder.

I'm not that person anymore.

You're scared.

Use it.

Maybe we're stronger than
we think we are.

I made my choices.

Ofjoseph: There was a time
when women were able to choose.

"We were a society dying," aunt
Lydia would say, "of too much choice.

"We know the sacrifices you
are expected to make," she'd say.

"It is hard
when men revile you."

We have five new Marthas
for the resistance.

An engineer, an it tech, a
journalist, a lawyer, and a thief.

Beth: How do you know?

I chose them.

Upstairs now. Eleanor's
sheets need changing.

Ofjoseph: Hey, Sienna.

We survived another day.

Ofjoseph: Mother, I think,
wherever you may be, can you hear me?

You wanted a women's culture.

Well, now there is one.

It isn't what you meant,

but it exists.

And here's what we do.

We watch them. The men.

We study them. We feed them.

We please them.

We can make them feel strong

or weak. We know them that well.

We know their worst nightmares.

And, with a bit of practice,
that's what we'll become.

Nightmares.

One day, when we're ready,

we are coming for you.

Just wait.
