1
00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:03,337
Previously, on The Testaments...
2
00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:06,798
You want to know what it was like for me,
growing up in Gilead.
3
00:00:06,882 --> 00:00:10,260
At the Aunt Lydia School,
plum dresses were for older girls like us.
4
00:00:10,344 --> 00:00:11,637
Up, then.
5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,473
Well, don't you look pretty as a picture?
6
00:00:14,556 --> 00:00:16,266
Thank you... Mother.
7
00:00:17,392 --> 00:00:19,770
Predestined to marry
High Gilead Commanders,
8
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:22,356
which only happened
if God blessed us with a period.
9
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:24,233
You're insane. The skirt looks fine.
10
00:00:24,316 --> 00:00:26,235
Even God knows Paula has no taste.
11
00:00:26,318 --> 00:00:27,527
Then we became Greens.
12
00:00:27,611 --> 00:00:29,905
I wish I was Green this season.
13
00:00:29,988 --> 00:00:31,990
I wish we all were, together.
14
00:00:32,074 --> 00:00:35,118
It's starting to move very, very fast.
15
00:00:35,202 --> 00:00:37,538
It's a dress, not a husband.
16
00:00:37,621 --> 00:00:38,747
Not yet.
17
00:00:38,830 --> 00:00:40,582
White was for the Pearl Girls.
18
00:00:40,666 --> 00:00:42,918
They were new arrivals
from outside of Gilead.
19
00:00:43,001 --> 00:00:44,503
Weirdos.
20
00:00:44,586 --> 00:00:45,921
This is Daisy.
21
00:00:46,004 --> 00:00:49,633
I'd like you to show her around.
Make her feel comfortable.
22
00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:50,926
May the Lord open.
23
00:00:52,636 --> 00:00:54,054
You may socialize.
24
00:00:56,848 --> 00:00:58,225
What is all this then?
25
00:00:58,308 --> 00:00:59,726
This is Daisy.
26
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:01,770
It's a blessing to meet you all.
27
00:01:01,853 --> 00:01:03,855
They stuck you with a Pearl Girl?
What did you do wrong?
28
00:01:03,939 --> 00:01:05,107
She didn't do anything!
29
00:01:05,190 --> 00:01:06,275
Well, you can't trust her.
30
00:01:06,358 --> 00:01:09,361
It's time to Plum up
and get her before she gets you.
31
00:01:09,444 --> 00:01:12,364
Shame upon any of you that tempt a man!
32
00:01:13,657 --> 00:01:15,117
By His hand! By His hand!
33
00:01:16,285 --> 00:01:17,494
Daisy!
34
00:01:17,578 --> 00:01:19,329
Jesus Christ, he was fucking wide awake.
35
00:01:19,413 --> 00:01:21,331
Miss Agnes, I am so sorry.
36
00:01:21,415 --> 00:01:23,125
I committed blasphemy.
37
00:01:23,208 --> 00:01:24,251
Our secret.
38
00:01:24,334 --> 00:01:26,837
Shunammite said you should never,
ever trust a Pearl Girl,
39
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,964
but that was exactly what I did.
40
00:01:29,047 --> 00:01:30,632
It was when I became eligible.
41
00:01:30,716 --> 00:01:32,092
And when I met Daisy.
42
00:01:32,593 --> 00:01:34,303
It was when it all started.
43
00:01:49,776 --> 00:01:52,112
The Aunts told us
lots of girls never blossomed
44
00:01:52,195 --> 00:01:54,781
because they're disobedient and prideful.
45
00:01:54,865 --> 00:01:57,868
And those girls are worthless to God.
46
00:01:57,951 --> 00:02:01,788
Getting your period was like
a stamp of approval from God himself.
47
00:02:02,831 --> 00:02:04,374
I was one of the chosen ones.
48
00:02:05,709 --> 00:02:06,835
Me.
49
00:02:08,211 --> 00:02:09,254
Why me?
50
00:02:10,839 --> 00:02:13,008
There was a chance
I'd be able to conceive.
51
00:02:13,717 --> 00:02:16,219
I was supposed to be ecstatic,
and I was.
52
00:02:18,013 --> 00:02:19,765
But I was also scared to death.
53
00:02:20,932 --> 00:02:23,310
It's hard to tell one
from the other sometimes.
54
00:02:40,452 --> 00:02:42,037
Blessed morning?
55
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:47,584
Rosa?
56
00:02:50,462 --> 00:02:51,463
Rosa?
57
00:02:57,135 --> 00:02:58,428
Rosa?
58
00:03:02,265 --> 00:03:04,685
What on Earth are you doing,
skulking around?
59
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,063
Blessed morning, Mother.
60
00:03:09,564 --> 00:03:11,358
Going out for a morning ride?
61
00:03:12,609 --> 00:03:14,986
It's too early
for your manipulative nonsense.
62
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:16,363
What are you doing?
63
00:03:22,619 --> 00:03:25,747
Mother, as He blessed Ruth and Leah,
64
00:03:25,831 --> 00:03:27,541
He has blessed me this day.
65
00:03:28,417 --> 00:03:31,753
As He answered the prayers
of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca,
66
00:03:31,837 --> 00:03:33,755
He has saved me from barrenness.
67
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:36,675
By His hand, He will make me fruitful.
68
00:03:42,848 --> 00:03:44,516
Blessed be His miracle.
69
00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:48,937
Wait for me in the parlor.
70
00:03:55,193 --> 00:03:57,737
When Becka got her period,
her mom was so happy,
71
00:03:57,821 --> 00:04:00,407
she started laughing
and crying at the same time.
72
00:04:01,283 --> 00:04:03,452
I doubt Paula has ever cried.
73
00:04:03,535 --> 00:04:04,619
Or laughed.
74
00:04:04,703 --> 00:04:06,830
We're not telling fibs now, are we?
75
00:04:07,456 --> 00:04:09,791
You know, the Aunts
will do their inspection.
76
00:04:10,876 --> 00:04:12,669
No. I wouldn't.
77
00:04:16,882 --> 00:04:19,092
Welcome to the sacred calling
of womanhood.
78
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:23,972
There's a lot of tedious bother
to the whole enterprise.
79
00:04:26,308 --> 00:04:27,559
These are called wings.
80
00:04:27,642 --> 00:04:29,770
They go beneath your underpants
and snap shut.
81
00:04:29,853 --> 00:04:31,897
Like this, yes?
82
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:34,399
Change the pads every few hours.
83
00:04:34,483 --> 00:04:36,985
Cleanliness is Godliness,
especially so on these days.
84
00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:38,779
You should never smell it on yourself.
85
00:04:38,862 --> 00:04:40,155
Understood?
86
00:04:40,238 --> 00:04:41,531
Yes, ma'am.
87
00:04:45,911 --> 00:04:47,788
I was scared my first time, too.
88
00:04:49,915 --> 00:04:51,708
Thank you for your help.
89
00:04:53,752 --> 00:04:56,838
It's a woman's duty
to pass on this kind of wisdom.
90
00:04:59,174 --> 00:05:02,052
Of course, no one
bothered to do it for me.
91
00:05:11,603 --> 00:05:14,689
Tabitha made this for you
before she passed.
92
00:05:17,609 --> 00:05:19,778
It's a cover for your pad.
93
00:05:24,658 --> 00:05:25,909
Thank you.
94
00:05:32,624 --> 00:05:34,793
See if you can see
the rainbow through the rock.
95
00:05:34,876 --> 00:05:36,753
Is it translucent?
96
00:05:36,837 --> 00:05:38,004
- You got it?
- No, it looks like a heart.
97
00:05:38,088 --> 00:05:39,965
Oh, it does. You're right.
98
00:05:40,048 --> 00:05:42,968
As I was walking along the forest,
99
00:05:43,051 --> 00:05:45,720
I came upon an enchanted castle.
100
00:05:46,888 --> 00:05:49,808
I saw inside there were
all these little girls locked up.
101
00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:52,894
Sweet, Godly girls.
102
00:05:54,229 --> 00:05:56,690
They were all under the spell
of wicked witches.
103
00:05:57,858 --> 00:06:00,151
Luckily, I had a magic ring.
104
00:06:01,111 --> 00:06:03,905
But the ring only had the power
to save one little girl.
105
00:06:04,781 --> 00:06:07,450
So, I looked at all of them
very carefully.
106
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:09,828
And out of the whole bunch, I chose you.
107
00:06:10,912 --> 00:06:12,706
Is that how I'll get a baby?
108
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:18,169
You won't need to, sweetheart.
109
00:06:19,546 --> 00:06:22,674
You are going to have a baby
grow inside your tummy.
110
00:06:33,977 --> 00:06:35,270
Blessed morning.
111
00:06:36,229 --> 00:06:37,856
Agnes has blossomed.
112
00:06:39,566 --> 00:06:41,526
Praise be His mercy.
113
00:06:41,610 --> 00:06:43,236
How do you feel?
114
00:06:44,946 --> 00:06:48,199
A little sick to my stomach.
115
00:06:48,283 --> 00:06:50,535
It's a blessing to feel
your body's miracle.
116
00:06:52,704 --> 00:06:55,373
Agnes will have some appointments
now that she's eligible.
117
00:06:55,457 --> 00:06:56,458
Yes, ma'am.
118
00:06:56,541 --> 00:06:58,960
There's the new doctor, of course.
119
00:06:59,044 --> 00:07:00,795
And a proper tailor.
120
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:03,715
And I'll enlist Dr. Grove
for the teeth whitening.
121
00:07:03,798 --> 00:07:05,592
We need to make her
as appealing as possible.
122
00:07:05,675 --> 00:07:07,010
Yes, ma'am.
123
00:07:07,093 --> 00:07:08,261
Congrats, Agnes.
124
00:07:15,143 --> 00:07:16,686
I prayed so hard.
125
00:07:19,022 --> 00:07:22,776
How about some coffee?
Isn't that what women drink?
126
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:24,527
Yes, please.
127
00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:29,282
It's completely obvious.
128
00:07:29,366 --> 00:07:30,784
I'm walking weird.
129
00:07:30,867 --> 00:07:32,535
You're perfect.
130
00:07:35,997 --> 00:07:38,041
You're filled with His Divine Light.
131
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:41,127
And then, a husband.
132
00:07:43,588 --> 00:07:45,048
Yes.
133
00:07:45,131 --> 00:07:46,549
We pray a kind one.
134
00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:52,555
Mm!
135
00:07:53,431 --> 00:07:55,016
A real young woman.
136
00:07:55,642 --> 00:07:57,644
Your mother would be so proud of you.
137
00:07:59,688 --> 00:08:02,607
Rosa took care of Tabitha
when she was dying.
138
00:08:04,651 --> 00:08:07,570
She sat next to her bed
and fed her ice cubes.
139
00:08:11,783 --> 00:08:13,076
I heard they're redistricting.
140
00:08:13,159 --> 00:08:14,994
- Enjoy your special day.
- Heads up.
141
00:08:15,078 --> 00:08:16,830
Under His eye, sweetie pie.
142
00:08:17,455 --> 00:08:19,082
Under His eye, Rosa.
143
00:08:21,418 --> 00:08:23,169
Would people notice the difference?
144
00:08:24,671 --> 00:08:26,464
That I was a woman now?
145
00:08:27,966 --> 00:08:29,968
Was it something you could sense?
146
00:08:30,051 --> 00:08:32,762
Like a wild animal in the grass.
147
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:35,473
Or smell? Like the air before a storm.
148
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,768
Blessed day.
149
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:42,897
Like a Guardian walking past you
in the summer heat.
150
00:09:03,043 --> 00:09:06,379
He set my feet on a rock,
and gave me a firm place to stand.
151
00:09:07,255 --> 00:09:08,256
Amen.
152
00:09:21,019 --> 00:09:22,270
Blessed day, Miss Agnes.
153
00:09:22,353 --> 00:09:24,147
Blessed day. Have you seen Becka?
154
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:26,983
No, I'm sorry.
I was praying while I waited for you.
155
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:29,819
You don't have to do that.
Just go inside like a normal person.
156
00:09:29,903 --> 00:09:31,071
Where are you going?
157
00:09:31,154 --> 00:09:33,281
Curiosity got Eve
kicked out of the Garden.
158
00:09:34,324 --> 00:09:36,367
But Aunt Lydia said
I should stay with you.
159
00:09:37,368 --> 00:09:38,745
You can't come.
160
00:09:40,163 --> 00:09:41,790
Is this about yesterday?
161
00:09:44,501 --> 00:09:46,836
Let's not dawdle.
Hurry along.
162
00:09:50,673 --> 00:09:52,258
Aunt Gabbana?
163
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:46,271
It's beautiful, Shunammite.
164
00:10:47,856 --> 00:10:50,733
Oh, blessed day! Girls! Up, up! Let's go!
165
00:10:58,950 --> 00:11:01,244
Girls, up, up.
Someone's been blessed!
166
00:11:01,327 --> 00:11:02,370
No, let's go!
167
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:06,559
Agnes MacKenzie.
168
00:12:06,643 --> 00:12:08,478
What a day this is.
169
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:13,107
Aunt Vidala, as He blessed Ruth and Leah,
170
00:12:13,191 --> 00:12:14,943
He has blessed me this day.
171
00:12:15,026 --> 00:12:18,613
As He answered the prayers
of Sarah, and Rachel, and Rebecca,
172
00:12:18,696 --> 00:12:20,949
He has saved me from barrenness.
173
00:12:21,032 --> 00:12:23,534
By His hand, He will make me fruitful.
174
00:12:24,202 --> 00:12:25,995
Praise be His mercy.
175
00:12:33,670 --> 00:12:36,673
Your blessing is a blessing upon us all.
176
00:12:44,389 --> 00:12:47,850
One of your own has been
touched by His divine hand, girls.
177
00:12:47,934 --> 00:12:49,227
Praise be.
178
00:12:49,686 --> 00:12:51,854
Praise be, Agnes.
179
00:13:00,071 --> 00:13:02,407
She's so lucky!
180
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:07,996
Take my meatloaf.
181
00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:10,915
You need iron and folic acid
and bioflavonoids.
182
00:13:11,708 --> 00:13:13,960
I'm stuffed, Hulda.
183
00:13:15,753 --> 00:13:17,547
Is your menstrual pad all soaked?
184
00:13:19,674 --> 00:13:21,342
No. Not yet.
185
00:13:22,510 --> 00:13:25,471
Cool. You're so blessed.
186
00:13:26,681 --> 00:13:29,684
Well, Green means more work.
And dancing in public.
187
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:32,020
And Agnes hates dancing
in front of people.
188
00:13:32,103 --> 00:13:33,521
That could be a nightmare.
189
00:13:33,604 --> 00:13:34,856
Shut up, Shu.
190
00:13:35,606 --> 00:13:37,483
What crawled into your tights?
191
00:13:38,318 --> 00:13:39,944
I'm sure you'll be next.
192
00:13:41,779 --> 00:13:43,406
My breasts have been feeling pretty sore.
193
00:13:44,574 --> 00:13:46,951
They look bigger, don't they?
194
00:13:47,035 --> 00:13:49,746
My father always said
I was blessed in that department.
195
00:13:51,706 --> 00:13:56,210
Beck, I can ask Paula
if I can come to your house today.
196
00:13:56,294 --> 00:13:57,837
I can say it's for Green stuff.
197
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,088
Up, girls!
198
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:00,965
I have another fitting.
199
00:14:01,049 --> 00:14:02,967
Up, up, quick.
Shake your tail feathers.
200
00:14:05,094 --> 00:14:06,804
We need you in Corrections.
201
00:14:08,097 --> 00:14:10,099
Come! A Pearl Girl needs your guidance.
202
00:14:10,183 --> 00:14:12,643
On your special day?
What a drag.
203
00:14:15,605 --> 00:14:18,232
Corrections were done
in a separate part of the school.
204
00:14:18,316 --> 00:14:19,901
The Aunts' wing.
205
00:14:20,902 --> 00:14:22,487
This room reeked of the Aunts.
206
00:14:22,570 --> 00:14:25,031
- What did she do?
- I don't know.
207
00:14:25,114 --> 00:14:27,492
It smelled like boiled wool and sweat.
208
00:14:27,575 --> 00:14:30,661
It smelled of certainty,
if certainty had a smell.
209
00:14:32,038 --> 00:14:35,291
This young woman
made a confession this morning.
210
00:14:36,334 --> 00:14:39,045
She has admitted to using
the Lord's name in vain.
211
00:14:43,007 --> 00:14:44,592
Agnes.
212
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,889
Aunt Lydia trusted you to guide this girl
as you would your own child.
213
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:52,809
I'm sorry, Aunt Vidala.
214
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:57,396
You have been blessed
with womanhood today.
215
00:14:58,773 --> 00:15:00,817
Is that a challenge you are ready for?
216
00:15:00,900 --> 00:15:02,819
Yes, Aunt Vidala.
217
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:04,445
Then show me.
218
00:15:04,529 --> 00:15:06,656
Teach your straying lamb.
219
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:08,991
Get up!
220
00:15:09,075 --> 00:15:12,203
You don't lounge around
while defending His name.
221
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,625
What must a sinner do?
222
00:15:21,504 --> 00:15:23,339
Pay, Aunt Vidala.
223
00:15:24,382 --> 00:15:26,551
She must pay for her sins, Aunt Vidala.
224
00:15:26,634 --> 00:15:29,053
[chanting] Pay for her sins!
Pay for her sins!
225
00:15:29,971 --> 00:15:32,598
Tell her what she is, Agnes.
226
00:15:32,682 --> 00:15:34,976
Dirty words come from what?
227
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:39,230
A dirty girl.
228
00:15:39,313 --> 00:15:41,774
Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl!
229
00:15:42,984 --> 00:15:45,278
Corrections was our time to unleash,
230
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:46,612
and we devoured it.
231
00:15:47,446 --> 00:15:49,198
Dirty girl! Dirty girl!
232
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:51,450
I'm ashamed of how much I miss it.
233
00:15:56,956 --> 00:16:00,418
[chanting] Dirty girl!
Dirty girl! Dirty girl! Dirty girl!
234
00:16:02,378 --> 00:16:03,713
Whose fault is this?
235
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:07,258
We understood power and rage.
236
00:16:07,341 --> 00:16:09,302
Teenage girls appreciate rage.
237
00:16:09,385 --> 00:16:11,596
In Gilead as elsewhere.
238
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,139
You are nothing.
239
00:16:13,222 --> 00:16:15,850
You're a slut from the streets of Sodom.
240
00:16:15,933 --> 00:16:17,602
A child of sinners and whores.
241
00:16:17,685 --> 00:16:18,936
She was there!
242
00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:22,690
And she heard my blasphemy.
I swear to God.
243
00:16:53,471 --> 00:16:55,890
Alright, friends. Time for cake.
244
00:17:07,276 --> 00:17:08,277
Open.
245
00:17:12,823 --> 00:17:16,035
A vessel unclean has no use
in the service of the Lord.
246
00:17:22,917 --> 00:17:26,003
God wants you to put
your shoulder into it, Agnes.
247
00:17:27,421 --> 00:17:30,341
I expected more from you
on your special day.
248
00:17:32,969 --> 00:17:35,179
Now clean up and get to class.
249
00:17:50,570 --> 00:17:52,989
Oh, that soap is disgusting.
250
00:17:54,865 --> 00:18:00,037
I heard the Marthas use
rendered cow fat and fireplace ashes.
251
00:18:03,958 --> 00:18:07,837
By His mercy, at least Aunt Gabbana
spared our tongues.
252
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,047
It would've taught you how to stay silent.
253
00:18:10,131 --> 00:18:13,718
Agnes, I had to confess my sins.
254
00:18:14,677 --> 00:18:18,055
I made a commitment to God
to be a good Pearl Girl.
255
00:18:18,139 --> 00:18:21,058
Well congratulations.
You're being a perfect little Pearl Girl.
256
00:18:21,142 --> 00:18:22,727
I didn't mean to rat you out.
257
00:18:22,810 --> 00:18:25,855
But when you got all up
in my face, it was a lot.
258
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:29,567
Corrections are a lot for you.
Assembly is a lot for you.
259
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:31,944
Maybe serving God
is just too much for you.
260
00:18:32,028 --> 00:18:34,196
I really am sorry.
261
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:35,531
Why did you come here?
262
00:18:36,407 --> 00:18:38,492
Why don't you just go back home?
263
00:18:41,078 --> 00:18:43,247
Not everyone has a home to go back to.
264
00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:48,669
Some people have crappy lives.
265
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,797
A princess wouldn't get it.
266
00:18:55,843 --> 00:19:00,431
By His grace, I was granted
a fresh start here in Gilead.
267
00:19:07,563 --> 00:19:09,148
Please give me a chance.
268
00:19:20,534 --> 00:19:24,038
And on this day of all days.
269
00:19:24,997 --> 00:19:27,041
I think you deserved
every bit of that punishment.
270
00:19:27,124 --> 00:19:28,668
Every bit.
271
00:19:28,751 --> 00:19:30,002
- Do you agree?
- Yes.
272
00:19:30,086 --> 00:19:31,879
Thank you for coming, Mrs. Braden.
273
00:19:31,962 --> 00:19:34,173
Please do say hello
to the Commander for me.
274
00:19:34,882 --> 00:19:36,592
Lovely to see you, Mrs. MacKenzie.
275
00:19:36,676 --> 00:19:39,136
- Agnes, we'll just be a moment.
- Praise be.
276
00:19:43,140 --> 00:19:46,519
There are changes happening
in your body, and more on the way.
277
00:19:47,103 --> 00:19:49,313
Your prefrontal cortex is still developing
278
00:19:49,397 --> 00:19:51,691
and all that estrogen
pumping through your body
279
00:19:51,774 --> 00:19:54,110
will tempt you into impulsive decisions.
280
00:19:55,236 --> 00:19:56,862
Dangerous ones.
281
00:19:58,531 --> 00:20:01,242
Womanhood is a test, Agnes.
282
00:20:01,325 --> 00:20:03,953
A lifelong test.
283
00:20:06,455 --> 00:20:09,041
The Aunts didn't teach us science.
284
00:20:09,125 --> 00:20:13,504
My prefrontal cortex had no idea
what Paula was talking about.
285
00:20:15,381 --> 00:20:17,425
Dr. Grove is ready for you, Agnes.
286
00:20:24,223 --> 00:20:26,517
I blinked and you girls grew up.
287
00:20:27,727 --> 00:20:29,645
Becka's gonna be thrilled
you're a Green now.
288
00:20:31,772 --> 00:20:33,441
I'm glad we're in it together.
289
00:20:33,524 --> 00:20:35,901
There was a lot on her mind today.
290
00:20:35,985 --> 00:20:37,737
Well, Becka's a worrywart.
291
00:20:37,820 --> 00:20:39,447
It's just how she is.
292
00:20:39,530 --> 00:20:40,531
Open.
293
00:20:44,827 --> 00:20:47,705
Well, praise be. Perfect teeth.
294
00:20:47,788 --> 00:20:48,789
Just perfect.
295
00:20:51,375 --> 00:20:54,378
You know, maybe you could
help her through it all.
296
00:20:55,171 --> 00:20:57,047
She's less anxious around you.
297
00:20:57,131 --> 00:21:00,634
I mean, you've always been
so mature for your age.
298
00:21:01,594 --> 00:21:02,803
Thank you.
299
00:21:04,221 --> 00:21:06,932
Okay.
Only an X-ray to go.
300
00:21:07,016 --> 00:21:10,019
Can I have a, uh,
size two bite wing, please?
301
00:21:18,527 --> 00:21:25,409
Now, I hope that this isn't
too heavy for you.
302
00:21:26,368 --> 00:21:28,954
I imagine your breasts
must be quite tender.
303
00:21:34,418 --> 00:21:36,212
Uh, it's not too heavy.
304
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,006
Lovely.
305
00:21:39,799 --> 00:21:43,552
You know, you really are
getting to be a big girl, Agnes.
306
00:21:53,187 --> 00:21:54,897
And that's that.
307
00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:56,190
Let's take some pictures.
308
00:21:58,025 --> 00:22:00,611
Excellent. Thank you. Open.
309
00:22:04,198 --> 00:22:06,325
And bite. Perfect.
310
00:22:13,249 --> 00:22:15,626
And, as still as you can be.
311
00:22:39,191 --> 00:22:43,195
That's when I started having
nightmares about my wedding night.
312
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:44,613
About my husband.
313
00:22:47,116 --> 00:22:48,617
A dark bedroom.
314
00:22:50,578 --> 00:22:51,787
Then a smell.
315
00:22:53,706 --> 00:22:56,125
And then he was in front of me,
my husband.
316
00:22:58,377 --> 00:22:59,962
But he had no face.
317
00:23:01,672 --> 00:23:04,758
I tried to run away,
but he always caught up with me.
318
00:23:05,634 --> 00:23:06,635
Wake up.
319
00:23:08,178 --> 00:23:09,805
Agnes.
320
00:23:09,889 --> 00:23:11,056
Aunt Lydia?
321
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:14,268
Yes. It's time. Come along.
322
00:23:29,491 --> 00:23:31,285
It's a chilly night, dear.
323
00:23:57,478 --> 00:23:58,562
Come along, dear.
324
00:24:26,548 --> 00:24:31,345
We gather here tonight as this
daughter of Gilead comes of age,
325
00:24:34,223 --> 00:24:36,308
seeking His Divine protection.
326
00:24:37,351 --> 00:24:39,937
And she will need it, His protection.
327
00:24:40,688 --> 00:24:43,107
For being a woman on God's green earth
328
00:24:43,190 --> 00:24:45,484
is no easy feat.
329
00:24:47,361 --> 00:24:49,905
In you go, dear. Rub-a-dub-dub.
330
00:24:58,831 --> 00:25:00,499
But we needn't look so far back
331
00:25:00,582 --> 00:25:03,168
to see the suffering of women, do we?
332
00:25:04,628 --> 00:25:06,755
That's why Gilead was created.
333
00:25:07,923 --> 00:25:11,427
To bring women back
to their rightful place.
334
00:25:19,184 --> 00:25:21,562
The world would be lost without you.
335
00:25:21,645 --> 00:25:23,772
Who can bring forth God's children?
336
00:25:24,606 --> 00:25:29,278
Who will populate this world so
His divine presence can be multiplied?
337
00:25:32,156 --> 00:25:34,908
Who, but you?
338
00:25:39,329 --> 00:25:43,250
You join your sisters now
in this holy endeavor.
339
00:26:13,155 --> 00:26:17,743
Agnes MacKenzie, jettison all
that came before this moment,
340
00:26:17,826 --> 00:26:19,745
and embrace your new role.
341
00:26:20,412 --> 00:26:22,915
May the generations born to your womb
342
00:26:22,998 --> 00:26:25,084
be worthy in His eyes.
343
00:26:26,210 --> 00:26:28,462
Blessed be the fruit.
344
00:26:28,962 --> 00:26:31,715
Blessed be the fruit.
345
00:26:32,674 --> 00:26:34,802
May the Lord open.
346
00:26:44,686 --> 00:26:46,605
A token of your passage.
347
00:26:46,688 --> 00:26:49,775
May He bless your new path.
348
00:26:49,858 --> 00:26:51,568
Under His eye.
349
00:26:52,903 --> 00:26:53,987
Under His eye.
350
00:27:03,038 --> 00:27:04,832
Wonderful.
351
00:27:10,504 --> 00:27:11,797
Hi.
352
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,508
Want some help?
353
00:27:17,803 --> 00:27:19,638
I thought I was gonna drown in there.
354
00:27:21,431 --> 00:27:24,393
Me too, when I had my Initiation.
355
00:27:26,061 --> 00:27:27,688
I feel like I'm still drowning.
356
00:27:30,482 --> 00:27:32,526
It's better that you're here, though.
357
00:27:35,112 --> 00:27:37,030
Praise be.
358
00:27:39,032 --> 00:27:40,826
I thought you were mad.
359
00:27:43,495 --> 00:27:47,374
This was your season,
and I was ruining it.
360
00:27:49,084 --> 00:27:51,253
I thought you didn't want me
to be a Green.
361
00:27:56,174 --> 00:27:57,634
I didn't.
362
00:28:00,137 --> 00:28:02,097
I didn't want this for either of us.
363
00:28:07,603 --> 00:28:09,438
I don't want to get married.
364
00:28:12,149 --> 00:28:13,775
I don't want a husband.
365
00:28:25,454 --> 00:28:27,039
But what else would you do?
366
00:28:31,376 --> 00:28:32,711
I don't know.
367
00:28:38,717 --> 00:28:43,722
Aunt Lydia said we...
get to leave everything behind.
368
00:28:45,182 --> 00:28:47,225
Everything that happened before tonight.
369
00:28:49,645 --> 00:28:51,229
Do you think that's real?
370
00:28:53,565 --> 00:28:55,359
What would you want to leave behind?
371
00:29:07,996 --> 00:29:09,122
It will be great.
372
00:29:10,791 --> 00:29:13,710
Pushing strollers together.
373
00:29:13,794 --> 00:29:16,838
No Aunts following us around.
374
00:29:18,090 --> 00:29:19,800
That does sound nice.
375
00:29:21,468 --> 00:29:23,261
All will be well, Rebecca.
376
00:29:24,972 --> 00:29:26,848
All manner of things will be well.
377
00:29:29,476 --> 00:29:31,812
I'm freezing.
378
00:29:35,482 --> 00:29:38,193
Yeah. Come on.
379
00:29:39,569 --> 00:29:40,946
Let's go home.
380
00:32:54,598 --> 00:32:58,018
It made no sense to say
you didn't want to get married.
381
00:32:58,101 --> 00:32:59,686
It was going to happen.
382
00:32:59,769 --> 00:33:01,730
"Want" had nothing to do with it.
383
00:33:03,982 --> 00:33:06,026
There were things to be wanted.
384
00:33:09,946 --> 00:33:11,489
Even in Gilead.
385
00:33:11,573 --> 00:33:13,909
Even if there were consequences.
386
00:33:21,333 --> 00:33:23,168
Blessed morning.
387
00:33:23,251 --> 00:33:24,461
Blessed morning.
388
00:33:33,845 --> 00:33:36,431
Pray, you know smoking
is not allowed, right?
389
00:33:40,393 --> 00:33:42,020
Yes, Miss Agnes.
390
00:33:43,813 --> 00:33:45,065
My apologies.
391
00:33:50,195 --> 00:33:52,197
Congratulations.
392
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:53,573
On your initiation.
393
00:33:55,909 --> 00:33:57,160
Thank you.
394
00:33:59,788 --> 00:34:03,333
Uh, better get inside, Miss Agnes.
395
00:34:10,632 --> 00:34:12,968
Sometimes you
couldn't help but want.
396
00:34:14,552 --> 00:34:16,805
Even if you tried your best to stop it.
397
00:34:20,475 --> 00:34:22,143
But there was no point to it.
398
00:34:24,521 --> 00:34:25,772
All that wanting.
399
00:34:33,363 --> 00:34:35,323
Agnes! Finally!
400
00:34:40,954 --> 00:34:42,455
Your father is home.
401
00:34:42,539 --> 00:34:44,791
He'll be pleased to hear
of your development.
402
00:35:05,437 --> 00:35:07,772
You look so pretty this morning.
403
00:35:10,150 --> 00:35:11,776
He's in the parlor.
404
00:35:20,910 --> 00:35:23,413
...finished,
and the samples could be contaminated.
405
00:35:23,496 --> 00:35:25,457
All these things need to be fixed.
406
00:35:25,540 --> 00:35:28,418
If they're temp controlled, then I think
the transport is gonna be fine.
407
00:35:28,501 --> 00:35:29,836
It's certainly vital.
408
00:35:31,546 --> 00:35:33,173
Blessed morning, angel.
409
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,752
Father, as He blessed Ruth and Leah,
410
00:36:10,835 --> 00:36:12,253
He has blessed me this day.
411
00:36:12,879 --> 00:36:16,132
As He answered the prayers
of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca,
412
00:36:16,216 --> 00:36:17,884
He has saved me from barrenness.
413
00:36:20,053 --> 00:36:22,097
By His hand, He will make me fruitful.
414
00:36:23,056 --> 00:36:24,683
I know He will.
415
00:36:30,772 --> 00:36:32,857
Blessed be the fruit, Agnes.
416
00:36:33,566 --> 00:36:35,902
May the Lord open, Daddy.
