Previously on The Handmaid's Tale...

Why don't you find another way to kill those Commanders?

At the wedding, did you say there were going to be Handmaids?

All those Handmaids veiled?

Moving as one giant group, anonymous?

That's how we'll hide.

They don't have any weapons.

- I'll smuggle them in. - How long is it gonna take?

One to two hours. They'll go home

and they'll fall fast asleep... and then we're on.

The bombs are still in place. Be a shame not to use them.

Confusion in the city. Perfect time to bring in your military.

Hell yeah.

Something's going on. Are the girls all right?

I must check on the girls.

She will help us fulfill our duty to God.

No, I will not have a Handmaid in our house.

I thought you were a better man, but you're just like the rest of them!

Enough!

You think God wants this abomination of a marriage?

- June Osborn. - Nice to meet you.

Where is June Osborn?

- I'm right here. - I knew it. You did this.

You gave us to them. If you want to save us, let us go.

First we kill the Commanders, then our bombs go off.

Then the military rolls in.

They will never see us coming.

Mayday should have taken the checkpoint by now.

All these trucks are gonna get through?

We're all gonna get across the border?

Ours has to make one stop first. Posted Handmaids get on and we get off.

You're staying?

We're not leaving this fight.

Tonight's just the beginning.

In it to win it.

You made a pretty convincing Aunt.

I guess all that community theater finally paid off.

I'm Ava.

Ah, Ava.

It's nice to officially meet you.

I'm staying too.

Look, Charlotte's still here.

Just like Hannah.

They don't get to decide who you are anymore.

Okay?

Go, live your lives.

What is going on down there?

Go back to sleep.

I've been sleeping like a dead woman.

Joseph! Joseph, please.

Serena?

- Come in, come in. - Thank God!

Serena, what happened?

Where's Gabriel?

I left him.

On your wedding night?

I just saw a Handmaid kill a Wife right in front of me.

I heard bombs going off in the city.

- Bombs? - We have to go.

We can't stay here. We have to leave and go to New Bethlehem.

It's too dangerous out there.

Why? What's happening?

Rebellion.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick, wake up.

Get up, it's the baby.

- Something's wrong. - What is it?

It's too soon.

There's our ride.

Make some room.

Where are the other women?

They'll be here.

I'll double-check. Stay here.

Hello?

Hands up! Let's go! Move!

Now!

- Get out! On your knees! - Out now!

- Move it! - Get down!

- Let's go, let's go! - Move, you fucking bitch!

You, let's go.

Let's go, let's go. Line 'em up. Line 'em up.

Move!

Move!

Traitor, get over there!

- Shut up! - Against the wall.

June Osborn.

No.

Show yourself.

June Osborn!

No.

I'm not going to ask again.

No, no! I'm June Osborn. I am June Osborn.

Check my tag.

Come on. Check my tag.

1185.

Take her.

- June, no! - I love you.

- I love you. - I love you.

- Load 'em in! Move! - I love you.

We shouldn't have let them into our homes.

Those women hate us, Serena. They all do.

Yes, wouldn't you?

They killed 37 Commanders.

It is horrendous, but you know what they've had to endure.

We have provided every opportunity for redemption.

We have given every necessity. They're savages.

So, this is enough of your liberal nonsense.

You need to reconcile with your husband.

I don't think that I can.

Well...

I called him. He's here.

What?

We need our men to protect us now.

Be grateful you married a good one.

Mark my words, every traitor

needs to be found accountable.

Oh, absolutely. It was a massacre--

We'll, uh...

leave you to it.

Naomi.

It pained me to see you so upset last night.

Please forgive me for speaking so harshly.

Our marriage...

is a sacred union.

We exchanged vows in the eyes of the Lord.

You broke those vows the moment that you brought a Handmaid into my home.

We built our love on trust

and mutual respect.

What if...

we tried for a child on our own?

No Handmaid. No Ceremony. Just us.

What if we're not blessed?

We will find our own pathway forward.

God's light...

will show us the way.

The most important thing right now is your and Noah's safety.

And I've arranged escorts

for all the Wives and children to a secure location outside Boston.

- No. No. - Serena.

No, I'm not going deeper into Gilead.

Well then, I need you to stay here. We'll keep Guardians posted outside.

I'm sorry my love, but I'm heading to D.C. I've convened the High Council.

Plan our response.

- You're leaving, now? - Tonight.

Flying out of Bedford at 7:00.

I have to deal with those ungodly women here first.

How could this have possibly happened?

While we slept.

Well...

at least those who ate some of our wedding cake.

It was laced with sedatives.

The blades they used were distributed during our sacred ceremony and reception,

all planned by that heretic, June Osborn.

No, that's not possible. She-- She's in Alaska.

No, she's in our custody. I just got word.

I thought that we were friends.

I'm so sorry my love.

It's painful when someone takes advantage of your kind heart.

But you don't have to worry about her anymore.

God's justice

will be served. I promise.

Hello, June.

Do you know who I am?

Of course I do.

I was actually at your wedding, so...

It was a beautiful ceremony.

So was it the bride who figured it out?

Serena was the one who exposed me?

No, Mrs. Wharton was stunned by your betrayal.

Yeah, I bet.

She worked hard to improve conditions for Handmaids.

If only you'd been more patient.

Yeah, that's the thing about state-sanctioned rape.

Patience is not an option.

So utter carnage instead.

Your wicked sins are an affront to God.

And how do you know what offends Him?

I know Gilead is His kingdom here on Earth.

It's a horror show.

Run by men who are twisting His words.

Frauds.

All of you.

It's never been about piety.

It's always been about... power.

Well...

you seem to feel really powerful right now.

This is the beginning of the end.

Hmm.

And yet, here we are.

Gilead shall endure.

I'm giving you the chance to get right with the Lord before retribution.

That's generous of you.

Well...

You can thank my Wife.

So full of grace.

I know she would want His mercy for you.

Hmm.

See...

I think that she would want His mercy for you.

For...

all of those beautiful, innocent women

that you had killed.

That were trapped at Jezebel's.

Their blood...

is on your hands.

God will be your judge.

Please, please.

My God,

Serena's God...

is a god of love.

And he that dwelleth in love,

dwelleth in God.

Choose love.

Be the man that she believes you can be.

It's just a few days until I settle things down.

How do you plan to do that?

Oh, we need to address what incited the rebellion

or it'll happen again and again.

And the others will just want revenge.

Did you pack her paints and crayons?

Yes, I have.

- You have paper? - Yes I have paper.

She likes to hear this before bed.

Listen, this kid...

more than anything,

wants to learn.

We need to teach her.

We're her parents.

What chapter are you on?

Nine.

Now, come along.

There she is. Sweetie.

You're going to have so much fun.

I promise.

I love you.

Me too.

Okay, let's go. Come on, chop, chop.

- Let's go. Come now. - Here you go.

Make some more pictures for me.

Lots of colors.

Will you be attending the occasion?

I'm...

joining the Commanders who survived.

Hear how they plan to respond.

So that's it? You just carry on.

Business as usual.

June is going to die.

I wouldn't be here...

Noah wouldn't be here...

if it were not for her.

Can we...

pray for her?

I lift up my eyes to the mountains.

Where does my help come from?

My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth.

The Lord will keep me from all harm.

He will watch over your life.

The Lord will watch over your coming and going.

Both now and forevermore.

Let us pray.

Our Father who art in heaven.

Hallowed be Thy name.

They kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth,

as it is in heaven.

God declares...

"I will punish the wicked for their iniquity."

"And I will lay low the arrogance of the terrible."

"For the wages of sin is death."

Fertile women?

They're not hanging Handmaids, are they?

No. No.

- Handmaids? - This is against God.

They're sacred.

Citizens of Gilead.

Children of God.

We gather to bear witness...

and to condemn these apostates.

These detestable cowards

who murdered God's most noble servants.

Aunt Lydia.

We entrusted you with their supervision.

And they became killers.

With no morality and no remorse.

This is your fault, Aunt Lydia.

By God's grace, you may atone before meeting his judgment.

Dear Lord...

forgive me.

And please forgive them.

My precious girls.

Have mercy for what they've done.

For they have been prisoners of wicket godless men!

No! No!

No, no, no.

You have betrayed Gilead.

You have abandoned God.

June Osborn

was given the opportunity to serve Gilead

and receive His divine redemption.

She was shown the way of the righteous.

And the light of His mercy shone upon her.

Yet, she chose to poison these women

with deceitfulness instead.

You led them down this treacherous path.

You corrupted His word.

You defiled His name.

Please...

May I please beg for His forgiveness?

For all of my sins...

and transgressions.

The Lord is listening.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Dear Lord...

I have failed you.

I, uh...

I have failed my friends.

And my family.

And I have failed the people of Gilead,

with my selfish and reckless...

ways.

Lord...

please hear...

my prayer now.

Please protect

your humble servants.

Let them know their lives...

are worthy.

And their hopes

and their dreams...

mean something.

For they are good people.

Who have too long

been oppressed by evil

and those who have disgraced Your name.

Rise up!

Fight for your freedom!

Don't let the bastards grind you down!

Go, go, go, go!

- Commander, this way. - Go!

June!

Go!

Drop it!

Fucking get 'em!

Get her down!

Stop!

June! June!

June.

You okay? You okay?

Hey, you okay?

It's all right. It's all right.

They're here. They're here.

Those are American planes!

Clear the house.

Where's Lawrence?

He left.

To go where? Is he with the other Commanders?

- House is clear! - Come on.

No, where are you taking us?

Someplace safe.

Nick.

The baby's fine, my love.

We're fine now.

Praise the Lord.

Such a blessing to have you by my side.

Where else would I be?

We've heard the reports.

Gilead under attack.

My father nearly lynched by those rebels.

He's safe now.

You need to end this brazen assault.

End her.

The doctors said the sedatives in that cake

might have triggered these complications.

She's responsible.

You need to show your allegiance.

To Gilead...

and God.

And me.

And our son.

I need a hand in here.

There's three of you downstairs, you'll be safe here.

June, June! Hey, sorry.

- What are you doing? - I'm fine.

- No, you've gotta rest. - No, later. How are you doing?

Well, I didn't get hung, so I'm good.

- Is Moira all right? - She's outside helping the medics.

Okay, you're busy. Don't worry about me.

Okay, well, there's a lot of Marthas and Econopeople that need help, so...

- Thank you. - Okay.

Hey, June. You good?

- Yeah. Do you know where Mark is? - Yeah, he's just there.

You're military?

CIA.

Top of her class, which she's always so quick to remind me.

You're sure you should be up and around?

Yeah, what's going on?

We have a small foothold in the city.

But we need to find those extremist Commanders,

the ones who who survived, and finish the job.

They won't want another Chicago. They were caught so off guard.

- They're out for blood now. - So no drawn-out conflict.

They could bomb Boston,

kill a shit-ton of people, take the place over completely.

Lawrence must know where to find them.

Can't reach him. I left soldiers behind in case he goes home.

Do you know another asset who knows their plans, or...

I think Serena knows more than she'll tell me.

Serena?

Protective custody, across the street.

Serena.

June.

Praise the Lord.

I thought you'd prefer I be dead.

How could you say that?

Oh, I don't know. I lied to you and ruined your wedding.

Right, um...

Yes, I...

I guess all that seems very trivial now, after, um...

what you did to those men.

Those men got what they deserved.

It's not for you to decide.

You did, didn't you?

You decided who lived and who died when Gilead started.

I didn't make those decisions.

Yeah, but you...

You know what?

It's fine, we don't have time.

I need to know where the Commanders are who survived.

Do you know where they're meeting?

No, I don't know.

I don't.

Someplace secure, I imagine.

That's all I can tell you.

Can't or won't?

I really thought you'd changed.

I really thought maybe that what you said was

for real, not your...

typical bullshit, just everything you described,

your plans, your dreams.

More freedom, more justice, it's...

It's just fucking talk.

I still want those things.

You're not gonna get those things with those men in charge.

Don't you see? Gilead is going to keep sending

more and more men just like them.

Then we will keep fighting. We won't give up.

You're asking me

to put a target on my husband's back.

He is a tyrant, Serena.

And you know that.

He tried to kill me today.

He strung me up like I was nothing.

Is that the kind of father you want for your son?

You know, God blessed us

with these children.

These beautiful... beautiful healthy children.

He trusts us to keep them safe.

And to raise them

in a world

that is filled with love.

Those Commanders will bring them nothing but a world full of grief

and more suffering.

Serena.

They're flying to D.C.

Tonight.

7:00 p.m., from Bedford.

Thank you.

Commander, thank you for coming.

I have a choice?

G.I. Joes here were in my living room.

I heard you had quite a day.

Sore throat. I'll survive.

Well, I have been benched,

sent to the locker room.

I pitched reason and appeasement,

but Reynolds, Calhoun and the rest of the A-Team,

they're ready to knock the shit out of Boston.

What about Wharton?

He's all fire and brimstone too.

It's his sacred duty, apparently,

to make the city safe again for the righteous.

It's a new reign of terror.

Well, they're flying to D.C. tonight,

to persuade the High Council.

How do you know that?

Serena.

She's one of us now.

Wonders never cease.

We need to stop them, Commander.

And we can.

It's a bomb, I presume?

Altitude trigger.

Please, do go on.

All you have to do is leave it onboard,

then get off the plane before they arrive.

I'm sorry, when you said "you" just now, I thought-- You were looking at me.

You're a High Commander, you'll still have access.

Just shoot the damn plane down.

The airspace is closed. Gilead is on alert.

We've all seen how their defense missiles work.

I would love to bring them down, but...

I'm an economist.

I'm not James Bond.

I know it's outside of your comfort zone.

Way outside. Have you met me? My comfort zone is miniscule.

If we let them get away...

it's over.

They win for sure.

Commander, if you choose to do this,

you need to leave right now.

Before the other Commanders get there.

I'll go with you. I'll be your getaway driver.

No.

You can't do that.

You're finally safe, June.

No one is safe.

Not while those men are alive.

Let's see this through.

Together.

Courage looks good on you, Joseph.

I learned from the best.

Be right back.

I'll try not to fuck this up.

Gentlemen.

Commander Lawrence.

You're early as well?

Can't waste any time after today.

Yeah, what are you doing here?

Well...

God help us. Here comes another pitch to make nice with the Americans.

No, no. He wants us to expand New Bethlehem now

because that worked out so well for us.

Stay here, Lawrence. Watch us burn that shit place to the ground.

That's enough.

We need a united front in D.C.

I'm pleased you're joining us. Come.

Are you with us, Commander?

Commander?

After you.

Commander.

Son, you made it.

How's Rose?

She's doing great. She's strong.

She, uh, insisted that I join you tonight.

She's a smart girl.

Everyone, Commander Blaine and my grandson

are the future of Gilead.

Praise be.

Let's get some cigars.

Guess you decided to join the winners.

Ah, you know how it works.

You do what you need to survive.

I don't want to know, really.

What about all your plans?

Someone better than I will need to see them through.

Blessed evening, Commanders. Prepare for takeoff.

Is she all right?

Can't keep a good woman down.

She, uh... She told me to give all this up.

She did tell me. Many times.

You should have listened to her.
