00:21:25,493 --> 00:21:26,535
Go ahead for Chapin.

354
00:21:28,037 --> 00:21:30,998
Copy that.
I'm sorry, Miss MacKenzie.

355
00:21:31,081 --> 00:21:32,708
I have to get back to work.

356
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,962
[♪ slow orchestral music
continues playing]

357
00:21:38,923 --> 00:21:40,341
[doors close]

358
00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:48,057
Would you like another?

359
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:49,975
Please forgive me.

360
00:21:53,229 --> 00:21:56,232
-[Commanders chattering]
-[applause]

361
00:22:04,949 --> 00:22:07,952
The men's glasses never seem to be empty.

362
00:22:08,035 --> 00:22:11,247
Not a surprise. Not my concern.

363
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:15,417
It is paramount, however,
for the young women to abstain.

364
00:22:16,043 --> 00:22:18,754
Aunt Lydia, these are not
your Handmaids from days gone by.

365
00:22:18,838 --> 00:22:22,550
These are Godly girls.
They know how to behave.

366
00:22:22,633 --> 00:22:25,135
It's your own instruction
that we rely upon to ensure it.

367
00:22:25,219 --> 00:22:29,682
My girls have been instructed
to always defer to Commanders.

368
00:22:29,765 --> 00:22:32,768
Do not let them get my girls drunk.

369
00:22:33,352 --> 00:22:36,772
Please remind them I'm in charge
of their matches.

370
00:22:37,356 --> 00:22:39,275
I'll have a word with them.

371
00:22:39,775 --> 00:22:41,402
Thank you, Commander.

372
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:45,573
Oh, Aunt Vidala?

373
00:22:46,740 --> 00:22:49,034
I just wanted to thank you
for all your work,

374
00:22:49,118 --> 00:22:50,369
bringing this together.

375
00:22:50,452 --> 00:22:51,912
Well, Aunt Lydia is the one--

376
00:22:51,996 --> 00:22:53,998
Aunt Lydia is slowing down.

377
00:22:55,374 --> 00:22:57,209
Of course, it's only natural
that she should be.

378
00:22:57,293 --> 00:22:58,919
But I think maybe the time's come

379
00:22:59,003 --> 00:23:01,630
for you and I to discuss
our vision for the future.

380
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:03,132
[indistinct chatter]

381
00:23:03,215 --> 00:23:05,426
[Aunt Lydia]
Yes, they are good, Godly girls.

382
00:23:06,719 --> 00:23:10,139
-All praise to the Lord, Righteous God.
-[Commander] Yes, of course.

383
00:23:12,141 --> 00:23:13,976
Excuse me, Commander.

384
00:23:14,685 --> 00:23:17,104
I'm needed downstairs.

385
00:23:18,439 --> 00:23:19,857
Of course.

386
00:23:29,867 --> 00:23:31,285
[unsteady footsteps stomping]

387
00:23:37,041 --> 00:23:38,667
[whispering] Go distract Aunt Estee.

388
00:23:38,751 --> 00:23:40,961
-Wait. What are you gonna do--
-Just do it!

389
00:23:41,795 --> 00:23:43,130
[doors open]

390
00:23:43,213 --> 00:23:44,256
[whispering] Becka!

391
00:23:45,633 --> 00:23:47,760
-Shu, I think I'm gonna be sick.
-Plum up.

392
00:23:47,843 --> 00:23:50,346
-I don't think any of the Aunts saw.
-Everyone saw.

393
00:23:50,429 --> 00:23:52,514
Daisy, quick. Take her inside.
I have to go back

394
00:23:52,598 --> 00:23:54,558
-before the Aunts see that I'm gone.
-What's wrong with her?

395
00:23:54,642 --> 00:23:56,268
[whispering] She's unwell!

396
00:23:56,352 --> 00:23:58,854
-She's drunk!
-Shh!

397
00:23:58,938 --> 00:24:00,230
So, help her!

398
00:24:00,314 --> 00:24:02,650
If the Aunts see her like this,
it's over for her!

399
00:24:02,733 --> 00:24:04,860
Shit. Mm.

400
00:24:04,944 --> 00:24:06,820
I-- I mean, go.

401
00:24:07,655 --> 00:24:09,365
I've dealt with similar circumstances.

402
00:24:09,448 --> 00:24:10,449
Thank you.

403
00:24:10,532 --> 00:24:11,742
[Becka groans]

404
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:15,287
[Daisy] Pray, how much did you drink?

405
00:24:15,371 --> 00:24:17,748
[Becka retches]

406
00:24:17,831 --> 00:24:19,458
Have some water.

407
00:24:22,086 --> 00:24:23,587
Did you eat today?

408
00:24:23,671 --> 00:24:25,673
[coughs] No.

409
00:24:26,715 --> 00:24:29,927
I didn't eat because
I was too anxious because of the...

410
00:24:32,513 --> 00:24:33,597
Tonight.

411
00:24:34,974 --> 00:24:37,601
I also didn't really eat
that much yesterday.

412
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:40,896
You'll be okay.

413
00:24:42,773 --> 00:24:44,775
Can you get back out there?

414
00:24:49,697 --> 00:24:51,323
I don't want to go.

415
00:24:55,452 --> 00:24:59,289
I don't want them... touching me.

416
00:24:59,373 --> 00:25:01,667
I don't want them looking at me.

417
00:25:01,750 --> 00:25:03,252
I just-- I--

418
00:25:03,752 --> 00:25:05,754
[breathes deeply]

419
00:25:05,838 --> 00:25:08,424
I know it's a sin,

420
00:25:08,507 --> 00:25:10,134
but... [sighs]

421
00:25:11,051 --> 00:25:14,346
sometimes I close my eyes
and I pray for God

422
00:25:14,430 --> 00:25:17,224
to broom away the Earth
and extinguish the stars.

423
00:25:19,893 --> 00:25:21,103
Okay.

424
00:25:22,771 --> 00:25:26,191
Well, you're more articulate
than most drunk girls.

425
00:25:29,236 --> 00:25:31,071
I understand how you feel.

426
00:25:32,406 --> 00:25:35,367
The men here, a lot of them, they're...

427
00:25:35,451 --> 00:25:36,869
scary.

428
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:41,248
But there are some good ones, too.

429
00:25:44,585 --> 00:25:48,213
Back in Toronto, I knew a lot of good men.

430
00:25:50,174 --> 00:25:52,968
Guys you could have
an actual conversation with.

431
00:25:53,385 --> 00:25:54,803
Real friends.

432
00:25:57,139 --> 00:25:59,349
If that's true, then why did you leave?

433
00:26:06,106 --> 00:26:08,275
Remember what the Aunts always tell us?

434
00:26:08,942 --> 00:26:10,652
God loves you

435
00:26:11,487 --> 00:26:16,909
and He has something special
in store for you.

436
00:26:19,286 --> 00:26:20,788
They don't say that.

437
00:26:21,538 --> 00:26:23,665
Oh. Okay.

438
00:26:23,749 --> 00:26:25,375
Well, they say the first part.

439
00:26:30,464 --> 00:26:32,466
What does it feel like?

440
00:26:33,634 --> 00:26:35,052
To run away.

441
00:26:36,678 --> 00:26:38,680
[softly] Don't think about that.

442
00:26:41,225 --> 00:26:44,436
Think about how much
your friends care about you.

443
00:26:46,396 --> 00:26:50,818
Shunammite risked getting
in big trouble to bring you to me.

444
00:26:52,778 --> 00:26:54,613
And Agnes?

445
00:26:56,115 --> 00:26:57,533
She loves you.

446
00:26:59,660 --> 00:27:01,078
[inhales sharply]

447
00:27:01,620 --> 00:27:03,831
[voice breaking] Not the way I love her.

448
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,459
[♪ soft, melancholy music playing]

449
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:14,842
-[Becka sniffles]
-Okay.

450
00:27:15,843 --> 00:27:17,678
We need to get you back out there.

451
00:27:19,138 --> 00:27:20,848
Ready?

452
00:27:23,183 --> 00:27:24,518
You're okay.

453
00:27:26,937 --> 00:27:28,772
It's okay to feel this way.

454
00:27:33,527 --> 00:27:35,153
I can get back on my own.

455
00:27:39,700 --> 00:27:41,076
[door closes]

456
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,996
And for my next embroidery project,

457
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:46,123
I'm gonna make a dish towel
for my favorite Martha--

458
00:27:46,206 --> 00:27:47,457
That's lovely, Hulda.

459
00:27:47,541 --> 00:27:48,750
I'll be right back.

460
00:27:48,834 --> 00:27:50,836
[excited chattering]

461
00:27:51,879 --> 00:27:54,381
-Is Becka okay?
-She will be fine, God willing.

462
00:27:54,464 --> 00:27:56,717
Did you see Becka?

463
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:01,138
It's a shame a girl
with such promise threw it all away.

464
00:28:01,221 --> 00:28:02,431
[Constance] Pray, what happened?

465
00:28:02,514 --> 00:28:06,018
[Jehosheba] If my father was a dentist,
I'd be a bit more careful.

466
00:28:06,101 --> 00:28:10,564
The Lord said do not
go about spreading slander.

467
00:28:10,647 --> 00:28:14,318
Well, if you'd seen her,
you'd know it's not slander.

468
00:28:14,401 --> 00:28:15,611
She's headed for the Colonies--

-[people gasping]
-[chattering stops]

470

[girls murmuring]

472
00:28:23,952 --> 00:28:25,579
Shu, let's go.

473
00:28:27,497 --> 00:28:30,125
[♪ slow orchestral music playing]

474

[indistinct chatter]

475
00:28:47,851 --> 00:28:49,853
[distorted, muffled chatter]

476
00:28:52,898 --> 00:28:55,984
[normal] Agnes. You're next.

477
00:28:56,068 --> 00:28:57,486
Come with me, please.

478
00:29:08,497 --> 00:29:11,291
I'm taking you to some Commanders
who would like to meet you.

479
00:29:12,501 --> 00:29:14,378
You're soon to be matched with a husband

480
00:29:14,461 --> 00:29:17,047
whose rank befits your status.

481
00:29:17,130 --> 00:29:19,466
Do you understand
the responsibility that entails?

482
00:29:19,549 --> 00:29:20,676
Yes, Aunt Gabbana.

483
00:29:21,718 --> 00:29:23,929
You're a very lucky girl, Agnes.

484
00:29:24,471 --> 00:29:27,099
I'm not sure you realize just how lucky.

485
00:29:28,725 --> 00:29:32,688
Our natural proclivities
are not necessarily Godly ones.

486
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:36,274
Many a race has been lost
right at the finish line.

487
00:29:36,358 --> 00:29:38,527
The weak may fall,

488
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:41,655
but you mustn't stumble over them.

489
00:29:41,738 --> 00:29:42,739
Okay?

490
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:47,411
I hope you can fulfill their expectations.

491
00:29:48,912 --> 00:29:50,622
[softly] Under His eye, dear.

492
00:29:51,164 --> 00:29:53,583
[softly] Under His eye, Aunt Gabbana.

[♪ slow orchestral music

494

[door creaking]

495
00:30:05,012 --> 00:30:08,223
[Commander Judd]
Agnes. Please come and sit down.

496
00:30:22,529 --> 00:30:24,448
Look into the lens...

497
00:30:25,157 --> 00:30:26,158
here.

498
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:30,996
You and I are gonna have a conversation

499
00:30:31,079 --> 00:30:33,957
so that the Commanders here
can get to know you a little better.

500
00:30:34,916 --> 00:30:37,753
Okay, so, Agnes...

501
00:30:39,546 --> 00:30:42,174
how will you exemplify your wifely duties?

502
00:30:47,596 --> 00:30:49,806
[voice shaking] As a Wife...

503
00:30:51,266 --> 00:30:53,477
I will serve my husband with...

504
00:30:58,732 --> 00:31:02,360
I will obey him and...

505
00:31:09,034 --> 00:31:12,245
-[camera shuts off]
-[Agnes breathing heavily]

506
00:31:14,081 --> 00:31:16,041
You must be nervous.

507
00:31:16,124 --> 00:31:17,209
Are you?

508
00:31:17,292 --> 00:31:18,919
[sobbing]

509

[breathing shakily]

510
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:27,886
Here.

511
00:31:30,847 --> 00:31:34,601
You know, Agnes,
Penny thinks really highly of you.

512
00:31:37,813 --> 00:31:39,731
Just be yourself

513
00:31:39,815 --> 00:31:41,566
and that'll shine through, okay?

514
00:31:43,276 --> 00:31:45,695
I don't know if I can
live up to her example.

515
00:31:50,325 --> 00:31:51,743
I'm so happy for her.

516
00:31:53,453 --> 00:31:56,289
Yeah, she's delighted that
the pregnancy is advancing.

517
00:31:56,915 --> 00:31:57,999
Me, too.

518
00:31:58,708 --> 00:32:00,919
I'm hoping you'll come visit her soon.

519
00:32:02,546 --> 00:32:04,548
As a Wife.

520

[Commander coughing on screen]

521
00:32:09,719 --> 00:32:13,723
Yeah, listen, it's okay
you started a little rocky.

522
00:32:14,099 --> 00:32:16,101
We're all allowed to make mistakes.

523
00:32:17,310 --> 00:32:20,939
What do you say? You ready to try again?

524
00:32:24,484 --> 00:32:25,777
Yes.

525
00:32:27,904 --> 00:32:29,531
Okay.

00:32:40,250 --> 00:32:42,252
Agnes and I had some technical troubles.

[Commander clears throat on screen]

529
00:32:43,837 --> 00:32:48,675
Agnes, how will you fulfill
your wifely duties?

530
00:32:52,387 --> 00:32:55,599
[Agnes] It worked out for Penny.
She found her prince.

531
00:32:57,100 --> 00:32:59,102
-[Aunt] Come along now.
-[Agnes] I could, too.

532
00:32:59,186 --> 00:33:01,688
God wouldn't let me fall from grace.

533
00:33:01,771 --> 00:33:03,607
I had to trust in His plan.

534
00:33:06,860 --> 00:33:09,070
[girls chattering]

535
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,699
Aunt Estee, the Commanders are waiting.

536
00:33:13,408 --> 00:33:15,327
This all looks great.

537
00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:32,928
Pray, are you okay?

538
00:33:35,388 --> 00:33:40,185
I hear you... may have had
some trouble tonight.

539
00:33:44,231 --> 00:33:46,233
You're a desirable match.

540
00:33:47,692 --> 00:33:49,903
I know it will not hurt your chances.

541
00:33:53,198 --> 00:33:54,199
[scoffs]

542
00:33:56,117 --> 00:33:58,828
Worse comes to worst,
I could just run away.

543
00:34:00,288 --> 00:34:01,915
I'll run away with you.

544
00:34:03,333 --> 00:34:05,335
We could steal one of Paula's horses.

545
00:34:06,962 --> 00:34:08,588
Applesauce. [chuckles]

546
00:34:08,672 --> 00:34:10,298
Her favorite one.

547
00:34:19,683 --> 00:34:21,685
[indistinct chatter]

548
00:34:22,686 --> 00:34:27,524
Aunt Lydia.
I trust your expectations were met?

549
00:34:28,108 --> 00:34:29,442
Hardly.

550
00:34:29,526 --> 00:34:32,445
I saw more than one girl
plied with drinks.

551
00:34:32,529 --> 00:34:33,697
You failed.

552
00:34:35,073 --> 00:34:36,700
But the Commanders were--

553
00:34:38,034 --> 00:34:39,119
How was I supposed--

554
00:34:39,202 --> 00:34:41,371
You still have much to prove.

555
00:34:42,789 --> 00:34:44,624
Blessed evening, Aunt Vidala.

556
00:34:48,837 --> 00:34:50,839
[indistinct chatter]

557
00:34:54,676 --> 00:34:57,596
-Did the Aunts say anything?
-Not yet.

558
00:34:57,679 --> 00:34:59,180
Maybe you're in the clear.

559
00:34:59,264 --> 00:35:00,890
For all you know,
a Commander could be requesting

560
00:35:00,974 --> 00:35:02,434
to be matched with you right now.

561
00:35:04,728 --> 00:35:06,605
How long do you think
this is going to take?

562
00:35:06,688 --> 00:35:08,023
Probably not long.

563
00:35:08,106 --> 00:35:10,025
The Commanders always give
their requests to the Aunts,

564
00:35:10,108 --> 00:35:12,777
but the Aunts probably
won't make any matches tonight.

565
00:35:12,861 --> 00:35:14,946
[approaching footsteps]

566
00:35:15,030 --> 00:35:18,283
I saw you dancing
with Commander Pritchett.

567
00:35:18,366 --> 00:35:19,826
Don't get your hopes up.

568
00:35:19,909 --> 00:35:22,329
He made it quite clear
I was his first choice.

569
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:27,667
Don't pay any attention to her.
She's showboating.

570
00:35:27,751 --> 00:35:29,753
Pray, I hope you're right.

571
00:35:29,836 --> 00:35:32,255
Because my mother told me
he's my best chance.

572
00:35:35,925 --> 00:35:37,218
Well, her only chance.

573
00:35:38,595 --> 00:35:40,930
-[doors opening]
-Girls.

574
00:35:46,144 --> 00:35:48,355
Most of you did very well tonight.

575
00:35:48,438 --> 00:35:50,607
But some of you, and you know who you are,

576
00:35:50,690 --> 00:35:52,567
have disappointed us all.

577
00:35:52,651 --> 00:35:54,694
Let that weigh heavy on your souls!

578
00:35:54,778 --> 00:35:58,406
And pray that He may be merciful
in your matches.

579
00:36:01,701 --> 00:36:03,203
[bell tolling]

580
00:36:03,286 --> 00:36:05,205
[soft murmuring]

581
00:36:05,288 --> 00:36:06,414
Is that what I think it is?

582
00:36:06,498 --> 00:36:09,084
-I think it is.
-No. No way. Not today.

583
00:36:09,167 --> 00:36:11,628
-That has to be a prank.
-No one would do that.

584
00:36:12,379 --> 00:36:14,214
-Is everyone here?
-Who could it be?

585
00:36:19,344 --> 00:36:20,345
[doors open]

586
00:36:21,304 --> 00:36:22,639
[Hulda panting]

587
00:36:22,722 --> 00:36:25,558
[whispering] Shu, tea worked!

588
00:36:26,768 --> 00:36:27,977
[Hulda giggles]

589
00:36:32,565 --> 00:36:36,569
As He blessed Ruth and Leah,
He has blessed me the same!

590
00:36:37,487 --> 00:36:39,114
This day. Today.

591
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:43,910
And as He answered the prayers
of Sarah, Rachel, and Rebecca,

592
00:36:43,993 --> 00:36:46,621
He has saved me
from barrenness and emptiness.

593
00:36:48,248 --> 00:36:51,668
By His hand, may He make me fruitful.

594
00:36:52,877 --> 00:36:54,212
What a blessing.

595
00:36:55,630 --> 00:36:58,258
-Praise be.
-[girls] Praise be!

596
00:36:58,341 --> 00:37:00,176
-Congratulations!
-[excited chatter]

597
00:37:00,260 --> 00:37:02,095
-[girl 1] Hulda!
-[girl 2] Congratulations!

598
00:37:02,178 --> 00:37:04,180
[excited chatter]

599
00:37:06,433 --> 00:37:07,851
[girl 3] He has blessed you!

600
00:37:11,271 --> 00:37:13,356
-Praise be.
-[Hulda chuckles]

601
00:37:14,107 --> 00:37:16,109
[excited chattering continues]

602
00:37:22,449 --> 00:37:24,659
[indistinct radio chatter]

603
00:37:25,452 --> 00:37:27,454
[Commander MacKenzie]
Your mother would be so proud...

604
00:37:28,121 --> 00:37:30,415
if she could've seen you
out there tonight.

605
00:37:32,292 --> 00:37:35,128
I can't wait to tell her
all about it when we get home.

606
00:37:37,088 --> 00:37:38,506
[Guardian] [over radio]
All clear over here.

607
00:37:38,590 --> 00:37:41,134
Thank you for stepping up security,
Chapin. It was prudent.

608
00:37:41,634 --> 00:37:44,137
Trust you had
a blessed evening, Commander?

609
00:37:44,220 --> 00:37:46,848
I only wish there had been
fewer distractions.

610
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,768
Commander Weston being pulled away.

611
00:37:49,851 --> 00:37:51,853
Efforts on the Front have begun.

612
00:37:52,645 --> 00:37:54,647
It's a nasty business, but...

613
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:57,275
the rebels must be rooted out.

614
00:37:59,652 --> 00:38:02,071
By His hand, Commander.

615
00:38:04,282 --> 00:38:06,910
Congratulations on your promotion,
by the way.

616
00:38:06,993 --> 00:38:09,496
Making Commander in a few weeks, I hear?

617
00:38:09,579 --> 00:38:12,332
[Garth] Yes. Thank you, sir.

618
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:15,168
I'm sure that is
in no small part due to you.

619
00:38:15,251 --> 00:38:16,669
[Commander MacKenzie]
No, don't thank me.

620
00:38:16,753 --> 00:38:18,213
We need men like yourself.

621
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:21,883
Men like your father,
willing to rise to the occasion.

622
00:38:21,966 --> 00:38:24,177
[Guardian] [over radio]
Radius secure. Proceed.

623
00:38:25,428 --> 00:38:27,639
Approaching bridge, all clear.

624
00:38:37,565 --> 00:38:39,567
[dogs barking]

625
00:38:47,116 --> 00:38:48,535
[Garth] Blessed evening.

626
00:38:48,618 --> 00:38:51,621
[♪ soft, hopeful music playing]

627
00:38:54,082 --> 00:38:56,835
[Agnes]
Garth was becoming a Commander.

628
00:38:56,918 --> 00:39:00,088
And if he were a Commander,
he would be eligible.

629
00:39:01,464 --> 00:39:03,299
And if he became eligible...

630
00:39:04,884 --> 00:39:06,511
he could be mine.

631
00:39:09,264 --> 00:39:12,225
All I could think about were his eyes,

632
00:39:12,308 --> 00:39:14,060
his touch,

633
00:39:14,143 --> 00:39:15,562
his heat.

634
00:39:16,938 --> 00:39:19,566
I felt the world was filled
with possibility.

635
00:39:20,775 --> 00:39:22,569
And hope.

636
00:39:25,947 --> 00:39:28,366
[♪ soft, hopeful music
continues playing]

637
00:40:45,026 --> 00:40:47,028
