I'm tired, Mommy.

-Okay, okay, sweetie.
-We're all tired, honey.

Okay.

Here we go.
Hold tight.

Come on, sit.
Now hold on tight.

WOMAN: Like that.

No! No!

Aah! Aah!

My baby! Jill! Aah!

Let's go.

Thanks.

(Bell Clangs)

Hello, girls. Relax.

Relax.
I'm Aunt Lydia.

Are you all well?

Come on,
I want you to say

"we're very well,
Aunt Lydia."

So, are you well?

WOMEN: Very well, Aunt Lydia.

That's great,
because you are well.

You're healthy,
you're free from infections,

and you're the only ones
whose tests are positive.

You're the lucky ones.

WOMEN: We're the lucky ones.

Amen. You're going
to be handmaids.

You're going
to serve God

and your country.
(Snaps Fingers)

All right, girls.
Into the bus. Let's go.

How long were you in?

I'm not sure.

What'd you do,
and how'd they get you?

We tried
to cross the border.

What about you?

Gender treachery.
I like girls.

Christ, they could have
sent you to the colonies.

They don't send you
to the colonies

if your ovaries
are still jumping.

WOMAN: Come on, sister.
MAN: Move it! Move it!

WOMAN: Move it.
Get on that bus. Move it!

Go on, sisters.

You can't make me
break my vows!

Get on that bus.
Quiet.

Oh! Don't, please!

Why do you think
God made you a woman?

-(Blows Whistle)
-Oh!

You can't...

Mortify my flesh...

That I may

WOMEN: Mortify my flesh

Aunt LYDIA: Amen.
My God!

WOMEN: Amen.

Oh! No!

Aunt LYDIA:
Good night, girls.

(Whispers)
What's your name?

(Whispers)
Kate. What's yours?

Moira.

I am Joanna.

I'm Alice.
I'm Stephanie.

I'm Susan.

My name is Kathleen.

I'm Cara.

I am Julie.

JILL: Mommy.

Mommy.

Mommy!

Eat it,
and you'll like it.

That's enough!

You're getting
the best.

There's a war on,
you know.

Aunt LYDIA: The air
got 2 full months

of chemicals
and radiation...

MAN: Next.

Aunt LYDIA:
The rain water swarmed

with toxic molecules.

MAN: Sit.

These poisons flowed
into the rivers,

crept into people...

Raise your right arm
in the sleeve.

The result, sterility.

(Machine Whirs, beeps)

Remove your arm.

Today, only one
out of 100 women

can still bear children,
and some women stopped.

Believing there
would be no future,

they refused.

Refused to bear children!

They wouldn't even try!

They were lazy women!
They were sluts.

There is more than
one kind of freedom.

In the days of anarchy,
it was "freedom to."

Now, you're being given
"freedom from."

Don't underrate it.

(Girl Screams, cries)

(Screaming Sobs)

Aunt LYDIA:
I hate to punish her,

but she abused herself,

and your body
is a temple of purity.

So let that be
a lesson to you.

We know men can't help it,
but we're different.

We have self control...

Dignity.

(Men Yelling)

Remember, you're
not her equal.

You're a handmaid.

That is your role
in life.

Do you understand?

Yes.

She could do you
a lot of harm.

Well, if you
are chosen,

it will be
a great honor.

(Whistles)

Aunt LYDIA:
I must stress

that another incident
of the previous nature

will not be tolerated,

but I think you'll find

this young woman
satisfactory.

You may come in now.

Come in.

Sit down.

Is this your
first placement?

Yes, it is.

Well,
here's how it works.

I see as little
of you as possible.

Understand? But
if I get trouble,

I give trouble back.

Is that clear?

Yes, ma'am.

I've read your file.

I know
you're not stupid.

Do you want
this job?

Yes, ma'am.

Don't call me "ma'am."

You're not a Martha.

You will sleep here,
in your own room,

but if the commander
goes to the front

or to the capital,

you'll go back to sleep
at the red center.

Now, I want to ask you
one question.

Answer from your heart.

Do you want a baby?

Do you really want one?

It won't work
if you don't want one.

Do you really want
to have a baby?

Yes, I do.

We could help
each other...

We could.

(Claps)
Sit down.

Everybody sit.
Girls.

Right. Anyone.

GIRL: There was date rape,
even on campus.

(Women Chatter)

It was horrible.

WOMAN: Name her.

Yes, your name?

Come on.

Aunt LYDIA:
Step forward now.

W-what am I
supposed to say?

Just tell us
how it was back then.

I-it was horrible.

Speak up.

I...I was raped
when I was 14 by 6 guys

in my high school class.
It, um...

It was at a party.
We'd all been drinking.

I thought that
they were my friends.

Then I, um...

I had a-an abortion...

But it wasn't my fault.

My mother,
she made me do it.

She wouldn't
let me have the baby.

Whose fault was it?

WOMEN: Her fault.

WOMAN: Who lead them on?

WOMEN: She did.

She did.

Why did God allow

such a terrible
thing to happen?

-Teach us a lesson.
-Let's hear it.

WOMEN:
Teach us a lesson.

Teach us a lesson.

What is she?

WOMEN: She's a whore.
She's a whore.

WOMEN: Whore! Whore! Whore!

I'm going crazy.

This is a fucking
looney bin.

That's enough.

WOMEN: Whore! Whore!

(Crying)
I didn't...

I didn't mean
to do it.

I lead them on.
I assume the pain,

and I'm sorry.

Very good, Janine.

Bathroom?

Is that you?

Yes.

God, do I need
a cigarette.

Listen...

I have a placement.
I go tomorrow.

Oh, fuck!
I'll miss you.

I'll miss you, too.

The damn wives
don't want me.

I don't know why.
Maybe I scare them.

Maybe they think I want
to touch their tits.

Maybe it's the damn
fucking husbands.

Maybe they know
I think they suck.

Jesus, Moira. Be careful,
for christ's sake.

I don't know
what's wrong with me.

I gotta get
outta here, Kate.

I gotta do something.

I'm gonna fake
like I'm sick.

Really bright.
Then what?

Then there'll be 2 guys
in the ambulance.

They must be starved for it.
I'll suck
their fucking cocks

till they're blue
in the face.

They'll do whatever I say.

You're not serious.

Yes, I am. I'm going to.
I swear to God.

You'll never
get away with it.

Don't think like that.
It's bad for business.

All right, girls.
Move along.

Hello, my name is Janine,

and I'll be your
wait person this morning.

-Let me get you...
-Janine.

Get your clothes
on, Janine.

Come on.

Shh.

Put your clothes on.

You're gonna
get extra prayers

for the rest of us.
Hello...

Kate! Kate! Come on!

Janine.
Get you some coffee.

-Hello, my name...
-Ok, come on.

Hello, my name is Janine.
Good morning to you, too.

Hello, my name is Janine,
and I'll be your
wait person...

Snap out of it,
Janine,

snap out of it!
(Slap)

Look at me.
Look at me.

What'd you hit me for?

Wasn't it any good?
I can get you another one.

Look at me.
I am Moira.

This is
the red center.

Look at me.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

She does that again,
and I'm not here,

slap her. Talk to her.

Don't let her
get away with that shit.

That stuff is catching.

You are going out
to fulfill your life

for the greater

On this day
of consecration,

you would
do well to remember

by what deadly steps
you were brought here...

the folly of mankind

and of womankind
as well.

Sexual promiscuity,
widespread abortion,

birth control,
test tube babies,

genetic engineering...

(Women Gasp)

Aunt LYDIA:
Quick, get an ambulance.

PREACHER:
Genetic engineering,

artificial insemination...

God, in his
profound compassion

has seen fit to punish us.

To send a plague
of barrenness...

A desert of infertility.

You have been given
this precious gift.

WOMEN: Precious gift.

You are fertile.
You can give birth.

WOMEN: Precious gift.

You can give birth.

You can give birth
for our country.

WOMEN: Oh, precious gift.

May the lord open.

WOMEN: May the lord open.

Let the handmaids ascend.

You will look
neither to the right,

nor to the left.

You will remain
steadfast and true.

We pledge allegiance
to the bible.

The old testament
shall be our soul

and only constitution.

I pronounce you handmaids
in the sight of God. Amen.

(Beeps)

Blessed be the fruit.

Thanks.

She's up there.

WOMAN: Is that her?
Send her up.

Cora or Rita
will bring your meals.

There's everything
you need.

Any questions?

Are you clear
about the ceremony?

About the form...

Of the ceremony?

Yes, I'm clear.

As for the commander...

He's my husband.

Fred is my husband
till death do us part.

It's one of the things
we fought for.

Your name is offred.
Say it.

Offred.

Yes. Of-fred.

You may call me Serena...

Serena Joy.

(Men Laugh)

Good.

Thank you.

JILL: Mommy.

Mommy.

Resettlement
of the children of han

is continuing
on schedule.

20,000
have arrived this week

in the national homeland

with another 10,000
in transit.

Team of eyes,
working with

an inside informant,
has cracked

an underground
espionage ring.

This ring is suspected
of smuggling healthy women

across the border,
out of the country.

These women
have been chosen by God

to fulfill his task.

They are our most
precious resource.

No defection
will be tolerated.

We are weeding out
the traitors.

We are weeding out
the godless.

We are winning
God's fight.

All right, sir.

COMMANDER: The book
of genesis, chapter 30.

"And Rachel had no children,

and Rachel said..."

"Give me children,
or else I shall die.

"Behold
my maid Bilhah.

"Go in unto her,

"and she shall bear
upon my knees

that I may also have
children by her."

"So, she gave Jacob
her maid Bilhah as a wife,

"and Jacob went into her,
and Bilhah conceived

and bared Jacob a son."

Uh, could I have
a glass of water, please?

We will now have
a moment of silent prayer.

We will ask for a blessing
for our endeavor.

COMMANDER: Amen.

Amen.

(Kate Grunts)

Shh. Shh.
Stop it. Stop.

(Gasps)

SERENA: Shh.

(Moans, Grunts)

(Cries)

(Grunts)
Ah...

(Sobs)

Get up and get out.

(Sobbing)

(Whispers)
Get outta there.

I wouldn't debase myself
like that.

Nobody's asking you to.

Anyways, they're doing it
for all of us.

Could have been me,
say I was 10 years younger.

It's not that bad.

It's not what you'd call
hard work.

You're to meet your companion
at the corner.

She's called ofglen.

Wait for her.

She takes you
to the grocery store.

Tell them fresh eggs, milk,

and a chicken, not a hen.

Tell them who it's for,
and they won't mess around.

We get the best here.

Are you ofglen?

Yes. I'm meeting offred.
Who are you?

I'm offred.

Oh, I see.

Blessed be the fruit.

May the lord open.

The war is going
well, I hear.

Praise be.

I see they have
oranges today.

They didn't give me
any tokens for that.

The war interferes with
fruit and vegetables

from California.

Even Florida isn't
dependable anymore.

The rebels have blown up
some of the highways.

Tokens, please.

(Computer Beeping)

Thank you.

She must be
a very happy girl.

Praise be.

Shh.

It's all right.

What are you doing in here?

I've been looking for you.

Why?

He wants to see you
in his office.

What do you mean?

Tomorrow night...

10 PM. In his office.

Hello, hello, hello.

Nice day, isn't it?

What happened
to the last offred?

How do I know? I thought
you would be her.

How do I know?

But what do you think?

I don't know.

So what are these?

Impatiens,
if they grow this year.

How's she working out?

Who?

The new one.

Oh, her.
Better than the last one.

Well, you don't have to
throw it up to me.

I thought we weren't
going to mention it.

If you don't like her,
we can send her back.

You know that.

(Chuckles)
Who cares if I like her?

You know, I think...

She was a good choice.

Well, I want you
to be happy, Serena.

Yes.

Life is so much easier
for you when I am.

(Chuckles)
That's right.

(Clock Chimes 10:00)

(Knock On door)

FRED: Come in.

(Buzzer)

Hello. Come in.

You don't need the veil.

This isn't
an official visit.

Lift it up.

Why don't you
take it off?

May I?

Beautiful.

What it is...
I thought it might be nice

if we met under less
artificial conditions.

I thought I'd like
to get to know you a little.

Get to know me?

(Chuckles) Yes.

How will you do that?

Well, we don't
have to push it.

We could break the ice

by playing some sort of game,
for instance.

-A game?
-Yeah.

What game?

Scrabble.

Scrabble?

Have you ever played?

I mean, have you
ever played before?

Scrabble?

Yes, when I was young.
When my family...

Well, what do you say?
How about it?

All right.

Good.

Here we go.

(Fingering Pieces

NEWSCASTER: Good news
from the Appalachian highlands

where the angels of
the apocalypse,
fourth division,

are smoking out a pocket
of baptist guerillas

with air support
from the 21st battalion

of the angels of light.

Casualties
are reported high

as hand-to-hand fighting
continues.

I can use my last 3 letters
in one go.

I won.

You certainly have won.

Congratulations.

I think you play this game
a lot better than I do.

Oh, no.

No, I know you do.

Thanks.

But I knew you would.

Why?

Because
you're a librarian.

Was.

I'll be away for a week

at the capitol.

So don't forget me.

All clear.

You play a mean game.

Offred.

It's so damn close in there.
Come on out.

You need
a little fresh air.

Here.

Why do you think
we go through...

What we do?

You mean the ceremony?

Because a baby
would make my life whole.

You've had a child.

Yes.

A little girl.

Yes.

Do you know
what happened to her?

Do you know if she's...

I could try to find out.

I still have access
to some information.

See, we have
a lot in common.

We could have motherhood
in common.

Good luck.

(Computer Beeps)

Second door
on the left.

How are we today?

Fine.

3 months, and nothing
in the wind, huh?

You're in good shape,
though.

Ripe.

I know your commander.

He's tried twice before.

He's probably sterile.

Don't they test
the...the men?

No. They don't test them.

You get the blame, honey,
if it doesn't work.

Let me help you.

How?

The door's locked.
Nobody'll come in.

They'll never know
it wasn't him.

I've helped others...
lots of women do it.

No, thanks.

I'd hate to see
what they'd do to you.

You know what could happen
if it doesn't work.

It's the wives
you have to look out for.

They don't like you girls
hanging around the house.

Just imagine
what they must feel.

See,
they're defeated women.

Especially Serena Joy.

She was
quite a celebrity.

What do you say?

You stop right there
or I'll scream.

It's your life.

See you next month.

WOMAN: How many ceremonies
have there been?

3.

Dates? Last month?

The 16th.

What about the 19th?
What about the 20th?

That's your best time.

I know.

I guess he was busy.

You have one more month,

then you'll be up
for reassessment.

WOMAN: Men didn't
love you then.

They didn't value
what we could do.

They...they wouldn't
look at you twice

unless you were some
kind of beauty queen.

You had to have big tits
and a little nose,

and even if they did
marry you,

they would knock you up

and run off
with somebody else.

Now...

now you get...

A little respect.

My baby's gonna
grow up healthy.

Not my baby. Our baby!

Our baby.

(Clap Clap)

Second WOMAN:
Put your lockers away.

Pre-natal next.

(Whispering)
What are you doing here?

Me? What about you?
What happened?

Nothing. Guys must have
been gay or something.

Aunt Lydia...

There's a toilet
overflowing in the john.

Don't you dare
fucking move around,

or I'll stick this thing
so far up your fucking ass

you won't know
what hit you.

You'll go all the way
to the moon.

Yes, you little
goody two-shoes.

Okay.

That's it. Now we take
the pretty pearls

from the pretty lady,

and whose fault is it?

It's her fault,
her fault, her fault.

That's it.

Easy. Easy.

That's a good girl.

All right now.

You can fuck all your
little girls on the latrine.

Come on. Over here, now.

Over here. Huh?
Absolutely,

you piece of turd.

OFFRED: Hurry up.

Maybe with luck they'll
find you before Christmas.

Remember I didn't kill you.

I like your panties,
sweetie.

Come on!

(Muffled Screaming)

Go.

(Laughing)

You've done it again.
You're the winner again.

Do I get a prize?

Sure do.

A surprise prize.

Now...what do you like?

There's vogue...

Cosmopolitan.

I thought all this stuff

was supposed
to have been burned?

It was. It was bad
for people's minds.

It confused them.

It was ok for me
because I'm mature.

Come here. I got a whole
stack of them for you.

See? Just for you.

Does she know about these?

FRED: No.
She wouldn't understand.

Could you
do something for me?

Could you get me
some hand lotion?

Hand lotion?

You know,
how they used to have?

My skin gets...
gets very dry.

Well, what do you use
normally?

I use butter.

I steal pats of butter
from the food trays.

(Laughs) Butter.
That's very clever.

Can you do it?

Yeah, I can do it.
Why not?

Now wait, wait.
Now wait, wait, wait.

Just think about it
a minute.

Uh, she might
smell it on you.

She's never
that close to me.

Uh, sometimes she is.

Well, I won't use it
on those nights.

(Buzzer)

Don't do that again.

Do what again?

Try to touch me
like that.

Did I?
Well, I'm sorry.

It's just that, uh,
I find it, uh...

what?

Impersonal.

How long did it take you
to figure that out?

Here's your hand lotion.

She can do
whatever she likes.

She can have me
sent to the colonies.

Don't you know that?

Don't do it again,
please!

Okay, ok.

What happened
to the last one...

My predecessor?

She couldn't cut it.

Cut it?

She couldn't conceive,
could she?

Don't push your luck.

So what happened to her?

She hung herself.

(Telephone Rings)

(Ring)

With what?
Where'd she get the rope?

It doesn't matter
where she got the rope.

She didn't do it
with rope,

so what difference
does it make?

Maybe I shouldn't
come here anymore.

Maybe you better stay there
until I tell you to go.

Yeah?

So what?

Well, what are you
calling for

this time of night
with that kind of crap?

I told you once to do it.

Now just do it.

(Beeping)

Offred...

Come over here.

Sit down.

Did you find out anything?

No, not yet.

Any sign?

No. Nothing.

Too bad.
Your time's running out.

Yes.

Maybe he can't.

Maybe you should...
Try it another way.

What other way?

Another man.

They hang you for that.

It's done.

Women do it frequently.
All the time, in fact.

With doctors, you mean.

No, no, no, no.

Doctors blackmail.

It has to be
someone we trust.

Who?

I was thinking of Nick.

Did you ask him?

No...

But he's been with us
a long time.

I think I could
fix it with him.

And he's...

Quite good-looking.

What about the commander?

Well...

We just won't tell him,
will we?

He lives above the garage.

He's expecting you.

No one will see you.

Come in.

Have you come
to do your duty

for the fatherland?

Yup.

Boss' wife
was real ladylike.

She said, I want you
to fuck her, Nick.

I want you
to give her the works.

I said, yes, ma'am.

Anything you say, ma'am.

I could always
squirt it into a bottle,

and you could
just pour it in.

SERENA: Offred?

Your daughter is alive.

I believe this is she.

(Gasps)

Where is she?

She's in good hands

with people
who are fit.

When can I see her?

That's impossible.

Impossible?
What do you mean?

She's my baby.
I'm her mother.

She wouldn't know you.

Wait.

What's happened to her?

She hasn't been harmed
in any way.

She's dearly loved.

How long have you known?

Why didn't you tell me?

I wasn't sure.

How could you
keep it from me?

I wasn't sure
whether it would be
good for you to know.

How is she?

She's fine.

You mustn't worry.

(Creak)

My daughter is alive.

How do you know
she's alive?

She showed me a picture.

I don't know what to do.

I can't stand it.
I have to see her.

Kate.

Kate,
you must realize

that they'll never
let you see her.

No.

Kate,
they will never...

no!

Kate.

She's alive.

My baby is alive.

Shh.

It's all right.

Offred,
the birth mobile. Hurry!

Oh, and may it go well.

Who is it?

It's ofwarren.

Isn't it exciting?
Isn't it wonderful?

(Playing Music)

INSTRUCTOR: And breathe.

Just relax.

Breathe.

-Ooh.
-Deeply.

-Deep.
-(Panting)

Breathe through the nose,
out through the mouth.

Breathe.

-Oh! Oh! Oh!
-Pant.

(Pants)

Well, tell her to
hurry up, for crissakes.

We haven't got all night.

Maybe it's stuck.

Listen, I know these girls
from way back.

I tell you,
they're tramps, all of 'em.

They've spiked it.

It's a special day.

Are you all right?

What?

Oh, yes.

Are you sure?

I have a daughter living
with people like these.

Suck it.

WOMAN: Good.
That's it. Just relax.

That's it.

Just relax.

(Talking)

It could be any time.
It could be any time now.

Hurry. Hurry.

It's coming!
(Panting)

Take a deep breath in
and let it go.

(Exhales)

Deep breath in and push.

Come on. Hold it.
Hold it. Hold it.

Hold it. Hold it.
Quick breath in.

(Gasps)

And again. Quick breath,

and hold it. Push down.

You can do it.
That's it.

And quick breath in
again.

-And push down
one more time.
-Uhh!

Good. Good.

Push a little more,
little more,
little more...

(Screaming)

Stop pushing!

Now give it a good push!

There you go.

(Panting)

That's it.

(Baby Crying)

That's it.

I'd say she looks utterly
and completely radiant.

What is it?

It's a lovely
little girl.

That's what
I've always wanted.

Always.

Congratulations.

Oh, thank you,
my dear.

(Whimpers)

Oh, come on, now.

You shouldn't be walking.

I want to go home.

I know.

That's a girl.

What was it?

(Clap Clap)

Hurry up, girls.
Let's go.

You're not alone.
Do you understand?

I'm with you.
There are many of us.

Watch your commander.
Study him.

Get to know everything
about him, ok?

Get on with it.

You know what you are?

What?

You're a mystery.

Me?

I don't know
anything about you.

There's no mystery
about me.

I'm just an ordinary guy.

What do you do,
exactly?

Well, for one thing,
too much damn paperwork.

I used to be...

I used to be
in market research,

then I branched out,
you know,

became sort of a scientist.

Then the guys
made their move

and asked me
to go in with them.

So, I liked
most of the things

they wanted to do,
so that was it.

Period.

Why?

-Why?
-Mm-hmm.

Country was in a mess,
that's why.
A total mess.

All the garbage
had risen to the top.

You know, we had all
these pressure groups

running the store,
trying to dictate to us.

Blacks, homo, you know,

all those people
on welfare.

Women.

Yessiree, women.

So we had to clean it up.

We took out a big hose
and washed the place clean.

I had a family
and a job I was good at.

I didn't need cleaning up.

I don't mean you.
All right.

Let me explain
something to you.

I'm not
talking about you,

I'm talking
about the country.

-Oh.
-The country was crazy.

I mean,
nobody felt anything,
men or women.

All they had was, like...
how can I put it?

Like itches.

Sex itches,
money itches,
power itches.

But that's not enough.

There was
no common purpose.

Nothing to believe in,
nothing to fight for.

Nobody really knew how
to feel anything
anymore.

Do they feel now?

I think they do, yes.
They do.

What?

Well, respect,
reverence...

Values that
the average person

can feel right here

and, in your case,
here.

Heh heh!

Heh heh!

Beautiful.

So,
what do you think?

Why don't you
say something?

I don't think.

Man on PA.: women's
salvaging today at 3:45.
Male participation at 4:00.

For all females...

(Women Talking)

Man on PA.: women's
salvaging today at 3:45.

Male participation at 4:00.

(Women Singing)

Aunt LYDIA: On PA.:
(Clears Throat) amen.

We are here today
in the name of duty,

and sometimes duty
is a hard taskmaster.

This woman, whom we
all knew as a handmaid,

has been found guilty
of seduction and fornication

with a member
of the medical staff.

(Humming)

Why does God
demand her death?

ALL: For her sins!

For her sins!

For her sins!

(Cheering And applause)

Aunt LYDIA: Yes!

Order! Order!

You may form a circle.
Orderly.

Orderly!

This man has been convicted

of the rape of a handmaid.

Deuteronomy 25.

"If the man forces her
and lies with her,

then the man that lay
with her shall die."

This crime took place
at gunpoint.

Aah!

Aunt LYDIA:
The handmaid was pregnant.

The baby died!

(Women Screaming)

He was no rapist.
He was a political.

One of our best men.

Hi. How are you doing?

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

Have a nice day.

These prayers
can be ordered

by compuphone or
right here in this store.

So, you're seeing him alone?

Who?

Your commander.

How do you
know that?

We just know.
What does he want?

Kinky sex?

No. Not exactly.

He's at the top.
He's in charge
of security

for
the whole state.

He's
a real bastard.

(Explosion)

We may want you
to kill him.

Yeah. We'll be there
within 20 minutes.

We'll be there.

Aha! Come in.

Now, I have a nice little
surprise for you tonight,

something that you're
gonna like a whole lot.

What is it,
chinese checkers?

(Chuckles) No.

Better.

Ha ha!

A boa for you.

Now...

And also a dress for you.

I hope to heaven
it fits. Ha ha!

You want me
to wear this?

Yep.

I'm taking you out.

You look fantastic.

Fantastic is right.

We're coming
to a checkpoint, sir.

I'm sorry.

You have to get down on
the floor for a few minutes.

There are no wives
allowed where we're going.

Just for a minute.

Sorry.

Oh, Nick,
could you come here?

NICK: Yes, sir.

You won't be
needing that in here,

so let Nick
take the cloak.

I do.

Don't do that.
Your eyes'll run.

Anyway, there's no time.

Paige, could you please
leave just for a minute?

Sit. Sit.

So, why are you here?
What did you do?

Why did they send you in?

Did you laugh at
the wrong dick or something?

I'm an evening rental.

He smuggled me in
for the night.

So, how are you?

I thought that
I'd never see you again.

So, what happened
to you?

They caught me
at the border.

Somebody must've got
cold feet or something.

It's too bad.

Took me fucking ages
to get there,

with a lot of people
risking their necks.

I had some sweet guy
who hid me in
his kid's room for a month,

just hanging on the wall,
and I think, for what?

Christ, I didn't even have
the decency to escape.

So, what did they do
to you?

They worked me over
a little.

They showed me a movie
about the colonies.

You know,
those fucking toxic dumps

with all the dead bodies
and shit?

They say you have
one year maximum there

before your goddamn nose
falls off.

So, they stuck
something up my ass

and told me
I had 2 alternatives...

the colonies or here,
so I said here.

So here you are.

So here I am.

It's not so bad, really.

You get
free face cream here.

Free booze, free drugs,
you only work nights.

Oh, shit.

It's not bad, really.

Actually, there's
all these women around.
I love it.

Do they let you?

They don't care
who you fuck.

Do you know what they call
this place? Jezebel's.

All girls back on the floor.

Give me your hand.

Come on.
Give it to me.

Yes, they did that, too.

You remember,

Good night.

Here, sir.

Shall I take that, sir?

So...

What was it like?

Huh?

I said,
what was it like?

Did the earth move?

What's happened?

I'm going

He'll love you to death.

So will she.

Come on.
You know it's yours,

and I won't

You want to get out.

Could we get out
together?

Maybe.

We have to.

Maybe.

I found it,

but I don't know

where's ofglen?

I am ofglen.

(Gunfire)

(Men Talking

I tried to help you.

Used for a hooker!

We had an agreement.

Just like the other one.

A little whore.

I'm sorry.

Go to your room.

(Man Speaking on tv)

This is a definite
breakthrough
for our security forces,

and, as I would say, this is
a comparatively
stable situation

here in this state.

But let me add that we intend
to rid the whole country

of these vermin.

And we'll do it
without mercy.

It's dark in here.

Don't you want the light on?

No, thanks.

Good night.

Heh heh.

I didn't send for you.
What is it?

You've got to help me.

I'm sorry.
It's out of my hands.

Did you tell her?

(Heavy Sigh) well...

She found this.

What could I do?
She gave me hell.

She gave me
all kinds of grief.

Boy...it's unfortunate,
the whole thing.

It really is.

I'm sorry.
Very, very sorry.

You better go
to your room now.

Yeah.

You have a lot of things
on your mind.

Yeah, I have.

You've always meant
a lot to me.

You really have.

You kept me going.

Just the thought
of you...whoo...

coming here at night,
caring for me,

fixing my drink,
being by my side...

I mean,
it kept me going.

And I thank you
for that.

And I'll never
forget it.

Jeez...

what's going on?

She's under arrest.

I didn't call for you.

Ma'am, the commander.

Get her out of here.

You fucking bastard.

You bastard!

You bastard!

Unh!

Aah!

Go with it. Trust me.
It's mayday.

(Engine Starts)

Aaaaaahhhhhh!

-You all right, Kate?
-I guess.

Get rid of that dress.
Take it off.

Take the next right,
go to the railroad site.

Gimme your hand.

This way.

Why didn't you tell me?

It was too dangerous.

Kate...these men are going
to take you to a safe place.

Now, they'll take care
of you, I promise.

You're not coming with me.

I can't.
I have to stay.

But what about
my daughter?

I have to find her.

Nick, we gotta go, Nick.

Now, Kate, I can't
promise you anything,

but I will send you word
as soon as I know.

Now listen to me.
You gotta go now.

No, I can't.
I wanna go with you.

Don't leave me.
Please don't leave me.

Kate, you can't come with me.
You know
you can't come with me.

It's not possible.

Our baby.

Yeah.

MAN: Nick, come on!

I'll find you.

Come on, Nick!

Come on.

I'll find you.

Tv ANNOUNCER: A 24-hour curfew
has been imposed on the city.

Our armed forces are using
heavy rocketing and strafing

to drive the mayday terrorists
out of their stronghold.

According to
government sources,
they are totally isolated

from the overwhelming majority
of our population,

and their defeat will be
final within hours.

A state memorial service
will be held to honor

the late commander's
fighting spirit

as it was documented
in a statement

just hours before
he was killed

in such a hideous
and cowardly way.

We're gonna win.

We have the force.
We have the faith.

And we will not rest until
we've purified this country,

this nation...

In the name of God.

Come on out
with your hands up!

ANNOUNCER: As house-to-house
searches continue,

the acting state commander
has put all forces on alert

to find the assassin.

He said, "she will not escape,
nor will her accomplices.

"We will search for them.
We will find them.

We will hang them."

Kate, voice-over: I don't
know if this is the end for me

or a new beginning,

but I'm safe here
in the mountains

held by the rebels.

They bring me food

and sometimes
a message from Nick.

And so I wait.

I wait for my baby to be born
into a different world.

I still dream about Jill,

about them telling her
I don't exist

or that I never existed.

I know
we're going to find her.

She will remember me.
