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.
01:10And he did not get to be soon.
01:11Those commanders will be grateful to him.
01:22And that Nick has leverage now.
01:27Here I come.
01:29I love you.
01:31I love you.
01:33Is she a real issue?
01:35I'm sorry about the investigation.
01:37I'm sorry.
01:39So impressive.
01:45Oh, my God.
01:47Wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:49This is me.
01:51Let's go!
01:53Get out!
01:55Get out!
01:57Get out!
01:59Get out!
02:01Get out!
02:03No!
02:05No!
02:07No!
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!
02:51No!
03:00No!
03:06special open.
03:07Don't do that.
03:07Don't do that.
03:08That's me.
03:21Your friend was taken.
03:49But I'll find out where.
03:51He wanted the whole place gone.
04:05I never said...
04:07I didn't say it was then.
04:12I never said the girl said anything to do with it.
04:14Are they dead?
04:21I didn't think you would do that.
04:27I didn't think you would do that.
04:37Take me back.
04:39Stop the car.
04:49We're almost there.
04:51Let me drive you the way.
05:00No, let me go.
05:02Jim, what are you doing?
05:12Jim, what are you doing?
05:22You know you never cared what I did when it helped you.
05:24I killed those two guardians to protect you, and your friend, and your husband, and those
05:32men were just doing their jobs.
05:33One of them was 19 years old.
05:35You pretend like I'm not a commander, or an eye, unless it suits you.
05:42I never pretended.
05:44Well, you didn't face it.
05:46And now you have to.
05:48You gave up those women, to save yourself.
05:56We all want to save ourselves, we're fucking human, that's what we do.
06:04You just like them.
06:06And you love me.
06:08So what does that make you?
06:10So what does that make you?
06:19June.
06:19Don't.
06:34June.
06:39June.
06:40June.
07:09June.
07:09June.
07:38June.
07:39No, Moira doesn't know how they found it either.
08:05What matters is all those women are dead.
08:12Are you okay?
08:26You heard.
08:31Look, we are trying to find out what happened.
08:38Nick told them.
08:50How did he know?
09:00June.
09:04I thought I could trust him.
09:11He's a commander in Gilead.
09:17He 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.
09:30And because of that, you're gonna run around like he's some hero?
09:35Like he's his fucking savior that you've been pining for ever since you got back?
09:42You think I don't see it?
09:57Why?
09:58I don't know what to do.
10:04Don't be in love with a fucking Nazi.
10:07How about that?
10:12Come in there, Blaine.
10:40Rita Blue is here to see you.
10:43Hey.
10:47I just wanted to make sure June got out okay.
10:53Yes, you did.
11:03It's hard to see her go.
11:08You know you will see each other again.
11:14Someday you will.
11:17I don't think so.
11:21Why not?
11:23She thinks I'm a monster.
11:28Nick, I've known you a long time.
11:32You're a good man.
11:34Not without her.
11:35Yeah, you were.
11:38You were.
11:41Remember, we were friends way before June came along, so...
11:44We were never friends.
11:45I was afraid of you.
11:46You were afraid of me.
11:51We would have crossed each other in a second if...
11:54If it helped us to survive.
11:56Yeah, maybe.
12:06Maybe.
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.
12:17Don't you...
12:22Don't you want to be a man who does the right thing?
12:28I don't get to have what I want.
12:38I was counting on you.
12:47This is Gilead.
12:51The only person you should count on is yourself.
12:54A bridal shower really was the last thing on my mind.
13:18I'm very touched.
13:20Well, we had to celebrate.
13:22Did you stop by marigolds for your gown?
13:24Well, they really do make the most exquisite dresses.
13:27Good.
13:28I was worried you'd use some tacky little dress shop at New Bethlehem.
13:34We've heard so many stories.
13:35What's it really like there?
13:37Is it as modern as people say?
13:40It is less strict.
13:42But we do still follow the same values as Gilead proper.
13:45But all those refugees, do they follow God's word?
13:49Can't be safe with them just milling about unsupervised.
13:52It really is quite peaceful.
13:54The residents are very happy to reunite with their families.
13:58It's a credit to your husband.
14:00High Commander Lawrence is really responsible for the success of New Bethlehem.
14:06Well, when he talks, it's all he talks about.
14:11My husband says his ideas are too radical.
14:16Reckless, mine says.
14:18Is there anything reckless about a community building on their devotion to God living in harmony with respect to one another?
14:25Well, my husband says that...
14:29And what do you say?
14:33What are your hopes and dreams for Gilead's future?
14:41I will be starting a fertility center in New Bethlehem, which means more healthy children.
14:47Isn't that what this was all about to begin with?
14:52Yes, but the present system works.
14:56I think we can all attest to that.
15:02There will be no handmaids in New Bethlehem.
15:04Except, of course, the ones that retire and work as attendants in the fertility center.
15:08Nobody will want those women around.
15:10Lord, no.
15:11Give me my child.
15:12God bless.
15:13Move on.
15:14Move on to where?
15:15To do what exactly?
15:18These women are holy vessels.
15:20They carried our children.
15:25Where 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.
15:41Who would like more tea?
15:43I'd love some.
15:44I'd love some.
15:45I'd love some.
15:46I'd love some.
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.
16:13They think New Bethlehem is a folly.
16:15Which wives?
16:16All of them.
16:19Well, you're the future Mrs. Wharton.
16:21They will treat you with respect.
16:25Seems their husbands don't support our ideas of reform either.
16:29Well, then they need to be reminded who they're dealing with.
16:39A proper wedding won't remind them.
16:41Hmm.
16:51Okay.
16:52Well.
16:54That means we can't get married in New Bethlehem.
16:58We'll need to have our wedding in Buxton.
17:01A grand celebration fit for the highest commander.
17:03With all the other commanders and their wives.
17:05Econo men and women.
17:07And Martha's handmaids.
17:11Handmaids.
17:14It won't be a traditional Gilead wedding without the whole community in attendance.
17:21Yes.
17:22I suppose you're right.
17:24It will be a show of unity.
17:25With everyone represented in us on top.
17:27I just hope there's enough time to change venues.
17:35Well.
17:37If anyone can make it happen.
17:39It's you.
17:57I can't be bothered today.
17:59Oh my goodness.
18:01You've not heard the news.
18:03Pray tell Aunt Phoebe.
18:05Commander Bell is insisting we send a fresh cloak and dress to his new handmaid.
18:11The Bells want a handmaid?
18:13But they're newly married.
18:15The commander is insisting he's made his wishes clear.
18:18He wants Janine.
18:20He rescued her from that nightmare at the brothel.
18:24Oh.
18:26Oh.
18:27Thank God.
18:29Oh.
18:30Oh, thank God.
18:32Oh.
18:33Oh, thank God.
18:35Oh.
18:36Oh, thank God.
18:39Oh.
18:41Oh, thank God.
18:42Oh.
18:43Oh, thank God.
18:45Oh.
18:46Oh, thank God.
18:47She's already there at Lydia.
18:49At his house.
18:51Praise be.
18:52Oh.
18:54Praise be.
18:55Oh.
18:57Oh.
18:58Praise be.
18:59Praise be.
19:00Praise be.
19:01Oh.
19:03Oh.
19:17Oh.
19:18I think we've got to move.
19:19What can we do now?
19:20I trusted him for so long...
19:34I...
19:37I forgot who he was.
19:39He never gave you any reason not to trust him.
19:45I mean, you were stuck in Gilead, Gideon.
19:50And he was kind to you.
19:54He hoped you'd survive.
19:57I mean, you'd be dead if it weren't for him.
20:01Yeah, we might all be.
20:03That doesn't justify anything.
20:05No.
20:09Um, 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,
20:23I could fall in love with him, too.
20:29I mean it.
20:31I'm serious, if he was, like, hot enough.
20:36You know what's hot enough?
20:38I'm talking Angelina Jolie.
20:41Hot.
20:42Nick is not Angelina Jolie. Hot. Not even close.
20:45Halle Berry?
20:47Absolutely not.
20:50Sigourney Weaver. Alien.
20:52Or oof.
20:54Rihanna.
20:55Are you kidding?
20:56What are you even talking about right now?
20:58No one's hotter than Rihanna.
21:00No one's up here.
21:03Yeah.
21:04Yeah.
21:05Keep going.
21:06And, uh, let's see.
21:12And, uh, let's see.
21:13Thank you, Danny.
21:14You're welcome.
21:15Thank you, Danny.
21:17Thank you, Danny.
21:18Oh, God.
21:19Come on.
21:20Come on.
21:21Come on.
21:23Come on in, I think.
21:25I'll lead you to it.
21:39I'll be right back.
21:39It'll be a couple minutes.
21:42Alec?
21:43No.
21:55I think, um, I couldn't think about how much I was maybe hurting you.
22:09Alec, you've gone through so much.
22:13Don't do that.
22:17That's no excuse.
22:19I don't want you to stay with me because you feel sorry for me.
22:23I 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?
22:53I should want to leave you.
23:06But I can't.
23:11I can't either.
23:12I can't.
23:12I miss her so much.
23:25Do you think that she's the only reason we're still together?
23:46Not the only one.
23:47I can't.
24:09Oh, Lydia, blessed day.
24:25Commander Bell, it is a joy and a privilege.
24:29Mm-hmm. Let me get that for you.
24:31I prayed to God for her rescue, and he delivered you.
24:35Oh, you know, God answered my prayers, too.
24:41My dear girl of Paul, is she adjusting?
24:46Well, we've been working on her adjustment all morning.
24:49She's quite the firecracker, isn't she?
24:54Blessed day, T.
24:55Would it be possible for me to see her?
24:59Oh, I'm sorry, Aunt Lydia.
25:00No, our girl's very tired after all she's been through.
25:03Oh, well, then, I'll see her at the wedding.
25:07Uh, no, she won't be going to that.
25:09Why not?
25:11Well, she's not ready for public viewing at the moment.
25:13What?
25:23I'm sorry.
25:28Oh, my God.
27:30Go in peace.
27:31What the fuck?
27:32Who does he think he is?
27:34Hell.
27:35He's not the one who exposed the plan.
27:38Still a fucking fascist.
27:50Packing it in?
27:51I always thought you were an idiot for trusting him.
28:06Well, you trusted him, too.
28:09You 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, like 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 those commanders want to kill you.
28:38And I'm sorry they're probably going to succeed.
28:41But I really just can't do anything for you right now, so...
28:46Serena never quit.
28:51No.
28:53She clawed her way back into power.
28:55She's about to become Mrs. Wharton, Queen of Gilead.
29:00Where are you going to be, June?
29:04Watching the pageantry in Boston from a trailer park in Alaska?
29:09What makes you think I give a damn about what Serena does?
29:12So when Serena's broadcast all around the world and her beautiful little wedding dress
29:17surrounded by handmaids and their beautiful little red veils staring at the floor
29:24because they're not allowed to meet her eyes...
29:31That's gonna sit right with you?
29:35That's the legacy?
29:37It's the way June Osborne's last chapter in Gilead ends?
29:44My last chapter in Gilead ended when those women died.
29:51Janine's not dead.
29:52She probably wishes she were.
29:57That pervert, Belle, made her his handmaid.
30:03I hope she kills him in his sleep.
30:09I hope she kills him in his sleep.
30:29At the wedding.
30:34Did you say they were gonna be handmaids?
30:36She'll invite everyone important.
30:40She'll put on a huge show.
30:41And she's gonna choreograph every move.
30:43She will micromanage every detail, where people sit, what they experience.
30:49No one there is going to see anything that she doesn't want them to see.
30:55And while she is planning her perfect wedding, we will be planning too.
31:01We just got busted at Jezebel's. All those women died.
31:03Exactly. They just had a big win. They're arrogant, they're relaxed, they let their guard down.
31:08The handmaids had nothing to do with Jezebel's. No one will suspect them.
31:11That's a lot of people. The odds of compromise are extremely high.
31:15Handmaids are trained not to talk.
31:17All those handmaids at that wedding, one giant group, anonymous, veiled, moving as one.
31:23Yeah, that's how we'll hide.
31:24You sure you're ready to go back?
31:27Hell yeah.
31:29I'm going with you.
31:31They don't have any weapons.
31:33Anything they could use is locked up.
31:36I'll smuggle them in.
31:38We'll get them to the red center, then slip them to the posted handmaids at the wedding.
31:43We won't be able to extract you. Not until it's done.
31:47We're going to see this through to the end.
31:49The bombs are still in place. It would be a shame not to use them.
31:53Chaos, panic, confusion in the city. A perfect time to bring in your military.
31:58This event, with all those commanders in one place, Gilead will beef up security.
32:03Serena's definitely going to insist on extra guardians at that wedding.
32:07And she's going to pull them from all over the city and the border, leaving Boston more unprotected.
32:12We will use all of our friends. Everyone. And anyone who hates Gilead. Anyone who has ever been fucked over by that place.
32:42Serena will make sure all eyes stay on her. Her narcissism brought down one nation and is about to bring down another.
32:55Because 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.
33:12Blessed 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 trip.
33:54I'd be missing the warden's wedding.
33:57A small sacrifice.
33:59I-I can't think of anyone who could make the case to D.C. better than you.
34:06Oh, 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. I think I saw a small break in the fence over there. Um, might be an animal, maybe a weasel.
34:33God forbid it's one of the girls, but who knows?
34:36I'll check it out.
34:37Thank you. Better to be safe, right? You're a deer.
34:41Blessed evening.
34:43Your girls, Lydia. They need you.
34:46Well, by God's grace.
34:49By his grace.
34:50By other people.
35:13Blessed be the fruit.
35:14Let the revolution begin.
35:44She's the one I need to remember.
35:48Talk.
36:14I can't believe you guys are here.
36:39The Handmaids are on board, but they're not going to believe it.
36:41Not until they see you.
36:43Then how about the Marthys network?
36:45Ready and waiting as well.
36:46Good work.
36:48Commander Bell won't let your friend Janine come to the wedding.
36:52So, she doesn't know the plan.
36:54She hasn't been right in.
36:55What? Shit.
36:56I'll take care of it.
36:58Wait.
36:59Joan.
37:00We can't leave her behind and we can't let him off the hook, so...
37:05You sure?
37:08I'll be fine.
37:10Okay.
37:13Watch yourself.
37:14So sorry, Aunt Lydia.
37:15What in heaven's name are you doing?
37:20I was looking for a mop and a bucket and I got myself all turned in circles.
37:32A mop?
37:33I spilled some tea.
37:45And, you know, it's all clean now, so...
37:46Sorry again, Aunt Lydia.
37:48Well, you see, I'm going to D.C. tonight.
37:50Tonight? Oh my goodness.
37:51I don't like leaving the girls before the wedding, but it can't be helped.
37:55The 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.
38:10And you want to walk.
38:11You can read it.
38:12And you still don't...
38:13And you too...
38:15I don't want to lie...
38:16I'm sorry...
38:17It's all right.
38:18I have to be prepared.
38:19And you have to be ready.
38:21I am really good.
38:22I was getting ready.
38:23I'm just going to see what this is.
38:24It's hurting me.
38:25I can't even look.
38:26Um, 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.
38:59Yeah.
39:00So, keep going.
39:04I want to say something leaderish.
39:07Leader-y.
39:08Leader-y.
39:09Yeah.
39:10Yeah.
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, and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
40:05And please, dear God, give us the strength to murder those goddamn motherfuckers.
