and their barren wives.

You will bear children for them.

AUNT LYDIA: lknowthis is a shock for you, Emily,

You can still have children. of course. (SCREAMS)

COMMANDER FRED: Tonight, I'm taking you out.

OFFRED: I thought these kinds of places were forbidden.

I'm so sorry I left you at the train!

(SOBBING) It's okay.

OFFRED: We're gonna find a way to get you out ofhere.

This is Gilead. No one gets out.

Do not let them grind you down.

You keep your fucking shit together. You fight!

(SHRIEKS)

Offred, Ithink I can get a message to your husband.

My husband's dead.

MAN: Lucas Bankole. He’s alive.

They find us together, I'm gonna get sent to the Colonies.

You‘re an Eye. You‘re untouchable.

OFFRED: He's answered our prayers.

NICK: Praised be. SERENA: It isn't yours.

You can't father a child, because you're not worthy.

(OBJECTS CLATTERING)

Please, let me out! That's my daughter! Hannah!

As long as my baby is safe, so is yours.

No!

I want to help with Mayday.

They need you to go back to Jezebel's.

They’ve been trying to get a package out of there.

OFFRED: (READING) "I'm in Boston, I think. We are prisoners.

"You have to tell people What's happening here. Please don't forget me.

"Please don't forget us all. "

Welcome to Ontario. Do you have any family in Canada?

Hey.

(CRYING)

Let me have Angela. Her name is Charlotte, you lying fuck!

There is no greatest sin than harming a child.

The punishment for that crime is death by stoning.

Aunt Lydia, come on. We can't do this.

I'm sorry, Aunt Lydia.

HANDMAID: I'm sorry, Aunt Lydia. I'm sorry, Aunt Lydia.

(HANDMAIDS CONTINUE APOLOGIZING)

AUNT LYDIA: Go home, all of you!

There will be consequences.

(WHISPERS) Just go with them. Trust me.

SERENA: Where are you taking her?

COMMANDER FRED: What's going on?

OFFRED: Whether this is my end or a new beginning,

l have no way of knowing.

And so I step up, into the darkness within...

Or else the light.

I should be crying but I just can't let it show

I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said

All the things that you needed from me

All the things that you wanted from me

All the things I should have given but I didn't

Oh, darling, make it go away

MAN: By His hand.

(HANDMAIDS SCREAM)

(GASPING)

Just make it go away now

AUNT LYDIA: (0N PA) You will love the Lord, Thy God‘

with all your heart.

You shall walk with Him and fear Him,

and cleave unto Him.

And you shall obey His word

and the word of His servants here on Earth,

or you shall feel the pain of Hisjudgment.

For that is His love.

Let this be a lesson to you.

OFFRED: OurFather, who art in heaven...

Seriously?

What the actual fuck?

JUNE: Okay, other foot. Thank you.

HANNAH: You're welcome.

Hey, how you feelin', banana?

Uh, I'm hungry. Yeah? That's good.

We are awesome.

Huh? Mmm-hmm.

All right, two more bites of yogurt, okay?

Mango? lwantwaffles.

Well, you're gonna have two more bites of yogurt,

and I don't want any fairy bites, okay?

LUKE: Uh... Oh, hey, honey, are you going to Walgreens?

lwas going to. l have to get Tylenol.

Oh, I need some, uh, deodorant and some batteries

Okay.

Double As.

And I need you to sign the form for my refilling on the last month, so...

What, they actually asked to see it?

Yup, there's a line for "Husband."

That's ridiculous.

Imean, ldon't have to pick them up.

You know, at all.

You wanna go home?

I don't know.

I think, maybe?

Maybe?

Let's go, Mom. JUNE: Okay, pumpkin.

Okay, see you later.

Uh, hey... JUNE: Come on.

Honey...

Don't get 'em. Don't pick 'em up.

Okay.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

It's crazy.

Yeah? Mmm-hmm.

(CHUCKLES)

I love you.

I love you.

LUKE: Mmm.

HANNAH: Let's go, Mom. LUKE: Not bad.

(LAUGHS) Okay, I have to go.

Really? Yes.

Close your eyes. (LAUGHS)

Peeping Tom. Yeah. We're leaving.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Bye. HANNAH: Oh, my gosh.

(EXHALES)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

AUNT LYDIA: Such spoiled girls you are.

Such spoiled brats.

He has given you everything,

but when He asks you foryourfaith,

you refuse.

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING) (HANDMAID GROANS)

You are told

the will of God, and you say,

"I know better."

Arm up, dear.

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING) (GROANS)

You say. "I know better than God himself."

He loves you.

He protects you.

Don't you remember what it was like before?

(SHUDDERING)

Now you are saved.

Girls, there is more than one kind of freedom.

There is freedom to and freedom from.

In the days ofanarchy,

it was freedom to.

Now, you are being given freedom from.

That is a gift from God.

Do not underrate it.

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

(EXCLAIMS) What? Hmm.

Offred has been keeping a secret.

(LAUGHS)

A most wonderful secret.

She has been filled with His divine light.

May we say, "Praised be His mercy"?

HANDMAIDS: Praised be His mercy.

Praised be His mercy.

Praised be His mercy.

Praised be His mercy.

Praised be His mercy.

How do we greet a miracle?

Do we.,.

Do we whine like sick dogs?

(SHOUTS) Praised be His mercy!

HANDMAIDS: (SPEAKING LOUDER) Praised be His mercy.

Praised be His mercy.

Praised be His mercy.

(AUNT LYDIA SIGHS)

Dig in.

You're eating for two. (LAUGHS)

I'm not hungry.

Loss of appetite is common these first few weeks.

You just have to make an effort.

You have quite an adventure ahead of you.

And we are going to make sure you get absolutely everything you need.

Plenty of rest and healthy food.

Fresh air, exercise.

You'll just have to be my very good girl.

You could do that, can't you?

I'll try, Aunt Lydia. Good.

We certainly won't have any more theatrics, will we?

(LAUGHING)

Such nonsense.

Such a waste of energy. And for what?

For nothing.

Janine isn't nothing.

No, she most certainly is not.

Do you think you've done her a kindness?

She could have gone to God quickly,

surrounded by her friends.

Friends don't stone their friends to death.

Janine is on herway to the colonies.

She will suffer because of you.

Every Handmaid who followed you into disobedience

will face the consequences, but not you.

You are with child. You are protected.

But you know that.

Such a brave girl, aren't you?

Standing in defiance,

but risking nothing.

Now eat.

I'm not hungry.

A walk, then.

(CHAINS CLINKING)

AUNT LYDIA: Pleasant evening, Ofwyatt.

Ofwyatt was having a hard time at home.

She was very defiant.

WOMAN: She drank drain cleaner which is terrible.

Ofwyatt endangered her child.

This we simply cannot abide.

Offred, ifyou choose to be difficult,

I will be forced to make arrangements.

Nine months can feel like quite a long time.

Blessed be the fruit.

May the Lord open.

AUNT LYDIA: Well, shall we get you something to eat, then?

Yes, Aunt Lydia.

I understand. You work full-time?

Uh-huh. lwent back about ten months after Hannah was born.

Oof. That must've been hard to leave her.

Mmm-hmm. It still is.

NURSE: Your husband works full-time as well?

Yup. And where is he today?

Uh, he's, uh, at ajob site in Quincy.

He should be getting back. There's probably traffic.

to take care of your child if she has to stay home from school?

How do you mean?

If she's sick.

| stay home with her or my husband does.

You have to miss work then?

Uh-huh. I miss work.

Can I go be with my daughter now?

Did you medicate Hannah this morning to lower her fever?

Uh, she wasjust a little warm so I gave her some Tylenol.

NURSE: Did you medicate her to bypass the school's fever policy?

So you wouldn't have to miss work today?

(SIGHS) She wasjust...

She was a little warm. She wasn't sick.

NURSE: Apparently she was.
