[compressor bangs]

[Offred] Previously, on
The Handmaid's Tale...

[aunt Lydia] June will
be chained in this room

until she gives birth.

And then June will be executed.

Offred has an opportunity.

[Commander Fred] It
wasn't easy finding you.

But we were determined to
rescue you from your kidnappers.

Uh-huh.

[gasping] Ninety-two days!

Janine.

Hi.

Hi!

[Serena] Nick! The
guests are arriving soon.

Can you please make sure
that everything is ready?

Yes, ma'am.

Ofglen!

They cut out her tongue.

After she stood up for Janine.

[aunt Lydia] I
believe you know him.

He drove a bread delivery truck.

[Offred shuddering]

[aunt Lydia] Whose
fault was it? Offred?

June did this.

Not Offred.

Offred does not have
to bear June's guilt.

[Offred] My fault.

My fault.

We've been sent good weather.

We've been sent good weather.

We've been sent good weather.

[dog barking faintly]

- [opens faucet]
- [water running]

Hey. What are you doing?

I'm not allowed to have these.

June.

I'm not supposed to be
out of my room at night.

[Nick sighs]

- [opens faucet]
- [water gushes out]

[closes faucet]

132 pounds. Very good.

Step off, dear.

How is the pregnancy
rhinitis? Runny nose all gone?

Better than before.

Now for the fundal height.

Twenty-five centimeters.

Right on track.

[scoffs] Special
dispensation for Aunts.

Really, a burden
more than anything.

Would you take some
tea before you go?

[aunt Lydia] That would
be lovely, thank you.

Offred, you're a
bit musty, dear.

The hormones.

You'll start taking
two baths a day.

But not too warm. Understand?

[Offred] Yes, Aunt Lydia.

[aunt Lydia] When was
your last bowel movement?

Yesterday around
lunchtime, wasn't it?

Yes, Mrs. Waterford.

I'll go see about that tea.

Quitting is very hard.

I used to smoke,
too, once upon a time.

I'm pleased that everything
is going so well with the baby.

As our doctor would
happily tell you.

Have I let myself
become a bother?

There's so much more
to a successful pregnancy

than can be measured
in a doctor's office.

The ventilation in
the Handmaid's room,

the firmness of the bed.

The mood in the household.

Her attitude seems
much improved.

It's everything a
Wife could ask for.

She's quite unlike herself.

Mrs. Waterford,

no small effort has been
made to bring Offred to heel.

Your baby needs to know he's in
a Godly, harmonious environment.

Of course.

Praised be His miracle.

How do you take your tea?

I'm afraid I won't
have time after all.

Busy day. More visits to make.

I'll see myself out.
See you soon, I hope.

Blessed day.

[aunt Lydia] Blessed day.

[Commander Fred]
Good morning, Aunt.

Oh, Blessed morning,
Commander Waterford.

[Commander Fred]
Everything in order?

Your baby is just
as healthy as can be.

And Offred?

The Handmaid is well, too.

- Praised be.
- Yes.

Let me take that out for you.

Thank you, Commander.

Hard to believe we're going to have a
baby in the house in just a few months.

[aunt Lydia] The days
will fly by, you'll see.

Too soon to tell if it's a boy
or a girl, I suppose. [chuckles]

- I'll take that for you, sir.
- Thank you.

We won't know until God brings the
little angel into the world, of course.

But I have a feeling he'll be
a fine boy just like his father.

[chuckles]

Yes. What man
doesn't want a son?

[both chuckle]

Did you know your baby is
the size of a papaya now?

A papaya. Is that right?

[car door opens]

- [aunt Lydia] Thank you.
- Of course.

[car door closes]

[engine starts]

[Unwomen coughing]

Only two.

They look like they're sleeping.

You know Sally
used to be a rabbi?

That's why she does it,
so she can say a blessing.

[Emily] Bed detail gets
an egg at breakfast.

You should volunteer.

No, no. I don't want to do that.

You'll last longer.

That's up to God.

He holds me in the
palm of His hand.

He couldn't hold you in
His palm someplace else?

Like Bora-Bora?

Where's that?

It's one of the Leeward Islands
in the South Pacific, near Tahiti.

It's so beautiful it
doesn't look real.

Oh.

Well, He's got you, too, Emily.

He's got all of us.

Well, that's what
Aunt Lydia says.

[Unwoman] Here.

[Aunt] Straight lines!

[whimpering]

[Fiona] Kit?

[Guardian] Get back up.

Come on! Keep moving!

[Kit wheezing]

Do you want
something for the pain?

No. No, I don't.

Give it to someone who needs it.

You sure?

Yeah.

[Janine] Here.

[Aunt] Eyes front!
[Emily] Thank you.

Are you gonna help Kit?

She doesn't want me
to waste the medicine.

[Aunt] Keep moving!

Kit's dying?

We come here, we work, we die.

[footsteps approaching]

The mistress is waiting.

I'll be right there.

[footsteps recede]

[children calling out]

[Serena] Blessed be the fruit.

[Handmaids] May the Lord open.

[Serena] Do you know Ofzachary?

Not well, Mrs. Waterford.

She may be God's chosen vessel, but I'm surprised
He wants to pass along that nose of hers.

[Naomi] Serena!

[children chattering
indistinctly]

God's light be with
you, Naomi, Grace.

[Naomi] And with you.

Oh, blessings on your
sweet head, Angela.

[coos]

What a pretty girl.

[Naomi] Your shower
was so charming.

I wish mine had
been that intimate.

Ours was so overwhelming, my
Marthas were cleaning up for days.

[Serena] I'm glad
you enjoyed yourself.

[Grace] Did you have
fun at the shower, dear?

Yes, Mrs. Scott.

[Angela cries]

Oh, don't cry, sweetheart.

Is she all right?

Just teething.

God's testing me, I know it.

[Angela continues crying]

We should be going.

[Serena] Under His eye.

Under His eye.

[indistinct chatter over radio]

She never misses a chance to
complain about that baby, does she?

No, Mrs. Waterford.

These walks are for both of us.

So that the baby
can hear my voice.

I would appreciate it if I didn't
have to make all the speeches.

All right?

Yes, Mrs. Waterford.

"Yes, Mrs. Waterford."

"No, Mrs. Waterford."

What is the matter with you?

Nothing, Mrs. Waterford.

How was your walk?

It was quite nice, thank you.

Offred, you may go to your room.

Mrs. Waterford.

Has Offred, uh...

I'm worried about the Handmaid.

The doctor says that
she's in perfect health.

I mean her mental state.

Her mental state?

Maybe you should take her
to see a different kind of doctor.

Did Offred ask
you to talk to me?

No, ma'am.

Well, I don't know
what to tell you.

She doesn't have
anyone to look out for her.

It appears that she does.

The Handmaid is
not your concern.

[footsteps recede]

[cutlery tinkling]

[Commander Fred] Morning, dear.

Good morning.

Warm-up, please, Rita.

[Rita] Some coffee, ma'am?

Yes, thank you.

We saw Mrs. Putnam and
Mrs. Scott on our walk just now.

Mmm-hmm.

Nick was waiting for Offred
and me when we got back.

Just making sure
that we got home safe.

It's very sweet, how
concerned he is about her.

Mmm-hmm.

And then a tour of the new Rachel
and Leah Center in the afternoon.

Will it be ready by then?

Yes.

The Committee keeps
hearing about overruns.

It'll be ready.

Also, I suggest homestays
rather than a hotel.

A taste of true
Gilead hospitality,

something the Commanders
can take back to their own districts.

Interesting.

I'll bring it up at
my 10 o'clock.

Andrew. Andrew.

I have a personal request.

You know my driver?

[Andrew] Blaine? I believe so.

[Commander Fred] He's
been with me for some years.

Very capable. Loyal.

He's overdue for a promotion.

Of course. I'll look into it.

I was thinking Washington.

The boy's got a lot of potential
that I'm afraid he's wasting here.

I can see what's
available. He's trustworthy?

Yeah, absolutely.

I'm surprised you'd let him go.

"A good man obtaineth
the favor of the Lord,

but a man of wicked
devices will He condemn."

Psalms?

Proverbs.

If I were you, I'd find a
way to keep him around.

[footsteps approaching]

I hope you're not too tired
to go to the Prayvaganza.

You still would like
to go, wouldn't you?

Yes, Mrs. Waterford.

Good.

Finish that up and
we'll be on our way.

A second walk.

Aunt Lydia would
be so proud of us.

[Serena sighs]

"Prayvaganza."

Not one of the Commander's
better efforts, if you ask me.

Are you okay?

I'm fine, thank you.

[organ music playing]

Today is a day of thanksgiving.

Today we honor our
most valiant Guardians.

[applause]

And we salute their
victories on the field of battle

and in the halls of
our Divine Republic.

We praise your service
and we reward your sacrifice.

He looks handsome, doesn't he?

[Andrew] "And the Lord God said,

It is not good that the
man should be alone,

I will make him a
help meet for him."

[Wives murmuring]

"And the rib, which the Lord
God hath taken from man,

made he a woman, and
brought her unto the man."

"Unto the woman He said, I will greatly
multiply thy sorrow and thy conception,

in sorrow thou shalt
bring forth children,

and thy desire shall be to thy
husband, and he shall rule over thee."

Do you accept this sacred duty?

[Guardians] I do.

I do.

[Andrew] As a token of this vow,

you each shall give
and receive a ring.

"Therefore, shall a man
leave his father and his mother,

and shall cleave unto his wife,

and they shall be one flesh."

I now pronounce
you man and wife.

They look so beautiful.

[Andrew] "And God blessed them,

and God said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply,

replenish the Earth."

May the Lord order your steps,

now and all the
days of your life.

I give you the happy couples.

[applause continues]

[inaudible applause]

[horse snorts]

[Aunt] Ten bags!

[grunting]

[panting]

Hey. We never had these in the
grass where we used to live, remember?

Yeah, the Wives would never
allow it. Imagine the gossip.

[chuckles]

Everything was so perfect.

I like them.

They're happy for everyone.
They don't care who you are.

[blows]

What'd you wish for?

I can't tell you.

[Aunt] Keep going!

Why do you think God's
looking out for you?

He saved my life.

Twice now.

There's got to be a reason.

[gasps]

[Kit gasps]

[grunts]

Kit! Kit, get up.
Get up. Please.

Kit!

[aunt Pauline] Back to work!

Get up!

Get back to work!

[grunts]

[Kit coughs]

[Kit wheezing]

[Aunt] Back to work!

I wanna change my wish.

[grunts]

"Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy,
it does not boast,

it is not proud.

It does not dishonor
others, it is not self-seeking,

it is not easily angered, it
keeps no record of wrongs.

Love delights not in evil

but rejoices with the truth.

It bears all things,
believes all things,

endures all things."

Love never fails.

Amen.

[softly] That was
very nice, Nick.

Welcome to our
home, Miss Spencer.

Eden.

[Commander Fred] Ah, but
you're not Miss Spencer anymore.

Are you?

Welcome.

Thank you, Commander Waterford.

Mrs. Waterford.

God's truly smiled on you both.

[Commander Fred]
We should celebrate.

Champagne.

Rita?

Of course, sir.

Husbands and
wives only, I'm afraid.

Offred, you may go to your room.

So, that happened.

She's...

Young.

But not a moment
to lose, I suppose.

Can I make you
some cinnamon milk?

[Offred] No, thank you.

[shuddering]

[sighs]

[gasping]

[Unwomen coughing]

[quiet indistinct chatter]

[Sally] Come on.

Come and join us.

[Unwoman whispers] Let's go.

[Sally] Please come and join us.

Come closer.

Tonight we celebrate
two lives, one love.

Fiona first met Kit when she
arrived here 11 months ago.

They've rarely been apart since.

[Unwoman chuckles]

Fiona, do you take Kit
to be your wedded wife,

to love, to honor,
and to cherish?

I do.

[Unwomen murmuring]

[Sally] And Kit,

do you take Fiona to
be your wedded wife,

to love, to honor,
and to cherish?

I do.

[giggles]

Hey!

This was my idea.

[Sally] Usually, the Seven Blessings,
or the Sheva B'rachot, comes next.

I told that they're not Jewish,
but she said that God doesn't care.

[Sally] Perhaps anyone
who wants to could share...

I wanna stay.

Where are we going?

[Emily] What is wrong with you?

[Janine] What are
you talking about?

[Emily] What if
the Aunts saw us?

They could starve us.
They could do a lot of things.

I'm trying to keep you alive.

[Janine] That's not up to you.

God's watching over us?

Shit job He's doing.

Well, Aunt Lydia says

we can't know
everything he's thinking.

Fuck Aunt Lydia!

This place is hell!

And covering it up in flowers
doesn't change anything!

Well, so what?

We come here, we work, we die.

Kit's going to die happy,
so what's the problem?

Gilead took your eye.

They took my clit.

Now we're cows
being worked to death,

and you're dressing up
the slaughterhouse for them.

That's the fucking problem!

Cows don't get married.

We'll get the place
spruced up, don't worry.

You have a beautiful
house, Mrs. Waterford.

I'm so blessed to join
your honored household.

May the Lord keep you and
the Commander in his grace,

and help guide me to...

Uh...

I forgot the rest. I'm sorry.

That's fine. Thank you.

Did your mother
teach you to say that?

Yes.

I hope you had a chance
to say goodbye to her.

Just for a minute,

before she took
the bus back home.

We have a farm a
few hours north of here,

near Westminster.

It's a real small
town, not like here.

You have such a beautiful house.

Did your mother tell you what to
expect tonight when you lie with him?

Good.

It is your duty
to bear children.

But also, "Let him kiss me

with the kisses of his mouth,

for thy love is
better than wine."

I don't understand.

The act.

Lying together.

It can feel wonderful
for you as well as for him.

But lust is a sin.

Not between husband and wife.

It can bring you
closer together.

It should, anyway.

Okay.

Welcome.

Good night, Mrs. Waterford.

Good night, Mrs. Blaine.

[Commander Fred] A
good woman will lift you up.

You'll see.

To good women.

To good women.

I'm glad this could be
arranged so quickly.

I had to pull a few strings,

but I couldn't miss the
opportunity to show you

how much I appreciate
all you've done for me.

Well, thank you,
sir. I'm grateful.

You're on your way now, son.

[sighs]

Gilead values the family,

and rewards those

who live by those values.

By God's grace, I'll have a
child of my own someday, sir.

By God's grace.

[inaudible]

[Fiona sniffles]

It was a beautiful wedding.

[Sally reciting
prayer in Hebrew]

[all] Amein.

[distorted fetal heartbeat]

[footsteps]

[monitor beeps faintly]

Oh, thank God.

Thank God.

I'll get the doctor.

You're tough, aren't you?

[softly] Now, you listen to me,

'kay?

I will not

let you grow up in this place.

I won't do it.

Do you hear me?

They...

They do not own you.

And they do not own
what you will become.

Do you hear me?

I'm gonna get you out of here.

I'm gonna get us out of here.

I promise you.

I promise.
