[grunts in pain]

[Offred] Previously
on The Handmaid's Tale...

[aunt Lydia]
You were an adulterer.

A worthless slut.

But God found a way
to make you useful.

[June] We are prisoners.

You have to tell people
what's happening here.

Please don't forget me.
Please don't forget us all.

Listen, they've made contact.

You should probably
get ready to go.

Come on.

‐Where are we going?
‐Airstrip west of Worcester.

Thank you for taking me in.

This wasn't my decision.

So, are you brave or...

stupid?

I'm not brave.

[June] It's almost 5:00.
Maybe they ran into friends.

Maybe a lot of things.

‐Who are you?
‐[June] I'm the Handmaid.

[June] No! [panting]

‐No!
‐[men grunting]

[screams] No!

[footsteps approaching]

[switch clicks,
compressor whirring]

[compressor bangs]

[gasping]

[June] I heard a story
on NPR once about pig balls.

For pigs who were
being fattened in pens.

The pigs rolled the balls
around with their snouts.

And the pig marketers said
it improved their muscle tone.

The pigs were curious.
They liked having something
to think about.

Caged rats will
give themselves electric shocks
for something to do.

There are 71 flowers
on the comforter.

Seventy‐one.

I wish I had a pig ball.

[door opens]

[door closes]

[door opens]

Blessed be the fruit.

I see you've eaten well,
Offred.

Third day in a row.

It's June.

You know my fucking name.

The Waterfords
have kindly agreed
to a trial run, as it were.

And if you're a very,
very good girl,

you might even be
invited to stay.

You see,

June will be chained
in this room

until she gives birth.

And then June will be...
executed.

Offred has an opportunity.

It would be better
for the baby.

[door opens and closes]

[chain rattling]

You'll have to earn your place.
Prove that you're worthy.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[wind blowing]

[crystals chiming]

[Offred] Seventy‐one flowers.

The bedspread has 71 flowers.

[wind whooshes]

Posture, dear.

[door opens]

[Commander Fred]
Well. Isn't this a happy day?

Welcome home, Offred.

Thanks.

We are grateful to the Lord
for the safe return
of our baby.

[aunt Lydia]
Ah, praised be His mercy.

‐Praised be.
‐[aunt Lydia] Mmm.

It wasn't easy finding you.

The terrorist networks
in Gilead are insidious.

But we were determined
to rescue you...
from your kidnappers.

And God blessed our endeavor.

You've been through
quite a trial.

Haven't you?

Uh‐huh.

[footsteps approaching]

And the ransomed
of the Lord shall return.

Praised be.

Offred?

Praised be.

[aunt Lydia]
What a lovely homecoming.

Now, Offred needs to clean up
and get some rest.

I know the way.

[Offred] Kidnapping. Of course.

Kidnapping is the story
everyone can live with.

Martha. A word?

[Offred] The Waterfords
can keep the baby.

Shows off Gilead's
reach and might.

[aunt Lydia] You have
a very important job,
an essential job.

Now, everything
must be washed.

Fruits, vegetables, meat.
And especially poultry...

[sighing]

[dog barking]

[wind blowing]

[breathing heavily]

[footsteps approaching]

‐[Serena grunts]
‐[gasps]

[chokes]

[gasping] Ninety‐two days!

[stifled grunting, gasping]

[sniffs, exhales sharply]

‐[stifled grunt]
‐[coughs]

[panting]

[Offred] Serena.

Remember.

As long as my baby is safe...

so is yours.

[breathing heavily]

[water trickling]

[tub squeaking]

[light switch clicks]

[dog barking]

[breathes deeply]

[door opens]

Lights are down,
but not to worry.

[sing‐song] Rub‐a‐dub‐dub.

Be sure to wash everywhere.

No, dear. I mean down there.

You don't want
any nasty bacteria
getting to the baby, do you?

[water lapping]

Ooh! Water's getting cool.

Finish up and off to bed.

Baby needs rest.

[door closes]

[footsteps recede]

[sighs]

Good morning, dear.

‐Did you have sweet dreams?
‐Ah!

Sure.

Wonderful.

And you have a nice,
clean dress.

Blessed be the fruit.

Yeah. May the Lord open.

[aunt Lydia] Get dressed
and wash your face.

Rita, make sure
the water's not too hot.

Try to avoid any kind of shock
to the system.

Yes.

We'll see you downstairs.

I hope you're hungry.

[whispers] Hi.

Here.

Take them.

Rita, wait!

Someone was supposed
to contact you.

I can't.

[whispers]
What if she finds them?

You don't know
what it's been like.

[sighs]

[breathes heavily]

[Martha 1] Can you move
these chairs over here?

[Martha 2] Yes, of course.

[Martha 3] Pardon me.

[Martha 1] Those are
the ones she wants.

[aunt Lydia] Offred, love?

God provides all we need
in His bounty,

but it is our duty to choose
vitamins and minerals

in wise proportion
to support the baby.

Offred. Sit.

We have a very special day
planned, dear.

Everyone wants
to celebrate our miracle.

[blender whirring]

[Serena] Nick!

The guests are arriving soon.

Can you please make sure
that everything is ready?

Yes, ma'am.

Drink up, dear.

[indistinct chatter]

[chuckles]

You can do much better
than that, can't you?

Excellent.

[gasps]

[coughing and choking]

[panting]

Sorry, Aunt Lydia.

We'll make another.
You need your vitamins.

[liquid pouring]

[indistinct chatter]

‐[woman] Oh!
‐[Serena] This is so pretty.
Thank you.

[Wife 1] I have to try.
Can I try it?

[Wife 2 laughing]
Oh, yes. Give it a go.
See what it does.

[Wife 1] Oh, does it move?

[Wives exclaim and laugh]

[toy quacking]

[Serena] It's darling!

[Wife 3] I just couldn't...
I couldn't resist it.

[Wives continue chatting
indistinctly]

This is stunning.
This is perfect!

‐[Wives exclaim]
‐[Wife 3] Beautiful!
Look at the stitching!

[Serena] Thank you so much.

Thank you very much.

Do you want
something to drink?

Do you want tea
or something?

[Serena]
Leah, thank you so much.

[Leah] I knitted it myself.

‐[Wife 3] Leah is
just so talented.
‐[Wife 4] So talented.

Bring mine in.

[Wives exclaim and laugh]

[Serena] This is too much.
Thank you.

[Naomi] You deserve
some joy in your life.

Having your baby kidnapped.

I can't imagine
how relieved you must be.

[Leah]
You're absolutely glowing.
[Wife 2] Mmm‐hmm.

Oh, yes, thank you.
We, um... We're very blessed.

[Leah] It's such a shame
you missed the baby's
first trimester.

[Naomi] Ugh, I couldn't breathe
until Angela's first kick.

Well, I think it's still
too early for that.

I felt the baby kick
for the first time last night.

[Naomi] Praised be.

[Wives chuckle] Praised be.

[Wives continue
chatting indistinctly]

[glass clinks]

[Wife 3] Who's next?

‐[Naomi] Yellow ribbon.
‐Mmm.

[aunt Lydia] Do you need
to take a break?

No. Having a great time.

[laughter]

[clay shatters]

I appreciate you all
including a fifth.

Well, a chance
to celebrate life
is a gift to us all.

[Linus] Praised be.

May I say that
it's very sporting of you
to have come,

despite your handicap.

Cushing. You're up.

You ready for Canada,
Commander?

Yes. I think we can move them
closer to easing sanctions.

It's a process.

[Glen] Pull.

‐[gunshot]
‐[clay shatters]

I fail to see how
our domestic affairs are
any concern to the Canadians.

I'd be happy
to remind them of that.

If the Committee saw fit
to name me special envoy

and send me up north as well.

[Andrew] Pull.

[clay shatters]

Have things settled
in your home, Commander?

It is a blessing to have
my house in order.

Back in order.

Yes.

[Andrew] Good.

Family is very important.

I agree.

Let us all pray
for a full‐term pregnancy
and a successful birth.

By His hand.

[Andrew] Pull!

[clay shatters]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[aunt Lydia]
It's a beautiful celebration.

Yes. Thank you.

[aunt Lydia] Mrs. Waterford,

I've worked with many
Wives and Handmaids.

This part is always hard.

Mothers.
Mothers and Handmaids.

[sighs]

It's only natural
to resent her.

God will forgive you for that.

Well, she makes it difficult.

Hmm. She's strong.

But that means your child
will be strong.

You understand that
everything that happens now

must be for the good
of the child.

Are you sure that
she understands that?

I will make sure of it.

No more of this.

Bad for the baby.

[aunt Lydia
steps on cigarette]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[sighs]

‐[bell ringing]
‐[indistinct chatter]

[whispering] Hey!

‐[whispering] Hey.
‐Hi.

You almost made it?

Almost.

That sucks.

Everyone was
shitting themselves.

Did anyone from Mayday
get caught?

I don't know.

Mayday's gone silent.

For how long?

They're done helping Handmaids.

Ofglen! Ofglen!

They cut out her tongue.

After she stood up for Janine.

You didn't make her
say anything.

This wasn't your fault.

Not that part.

[aunt Lydia] Oh!

Come along, dear. It's time.

[Offred] I would like
to be without shame.

I would like to be shameless.

I would like to be ignorant.

Then I would not know

how ignorant I was.

Behold he who does great
and unsearchable things...

[Wives and Handmaids]
Wonders without number.

[Serena]
Let the little children
come to me.

[Wives and Handmaids]
For of such is
the kingdom of heaven.

Let the little children
come to me.

[Wives and Handmaids]
For of such is
the kingdom of heaven.

[Serena]
Let the little children
come to me.

[Wives and Handmaids]
For of such is
the kingdom of heaven.

[Serena]
Let the little children
come to me.

[Wives and Handmaids]
For of such is
the kingdom of heaven.

[softly]
Let the little children
come to me.

[Wives and Handmaids]
For of such is
the kingdom of heaven.

[Serena]
Let the little children
come to me.

[Wives and Handmaids]
For of such is
the kingdom of heaven.

[softly]
Let the little children
come to me.

[indistinct chatter]

‐June?
‐[June] Yeah.

I'm Annie.

Luke's wife.

Hi.

I need you...

I wanna ask you
to back off.

Give us the space we need
to work on our marriage.
Please.

You should probably
talk to Luke about this.

You don't think I have?

Jesus, all we do
is talk about this.

He thinks
he's in love with you.

I still love him.

Sometimes people grow apart.

We made vows before God.

That means something.

He's a good man
who wants to do
the right thing.

You have to let him do it.

I have to go.

[Annie] No, you can't just
wreck people's lives

like they don't matter.

Did you ever even
think about me?

About what you were
doing to me?

Do you think about me when
you're screwing my husband,
you selfish bitch?

He's just playing with you.

He'll come back home to me.

You've been separated
for three months.

You are never
going to know him like I do.

I was his first,
did he tell you that?

You think you can just
take him from me
'cause you want him?

Fucking whore!

[siren wailing nearby]

[breathing heavily]

[Luke] Why would you even
think that would work?

[stammers] What were you
trying to achieve?

You're trying to convince her
that she shouldn't be with me?

You think that some...
that I'm gonna come back?

You're gonna have a word
with her, I'm gonna wanna
come back to you?

That's stu...
You gotta move on!
All right?

It's done! I've spoken to you!
You're being a fucking coward!

If you wanna talk to me,
if you got a problem with me,
then you come talk to me!

All right? Come talk to me!
Don't talk to her!
Don't call her!

Don't fucking stalk her!
Just leave her the fuck alone!

Are you okay?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, baby.

I'm fine.

‐Did you just hang up on her?
‐Uh...

No, that's...
there's voicemail.

‐Babe‐‐
‐You shouldn't have done that.

No, no, no, listen.
Listen.

She's trying to
wreck my life, all right?

I'm... She's trying
to wreck our life.

I don't know.
When we started this,
you weren't even separated.

What if I hadn't come along?

No. Don't...
don't feel guilty.

You didn't take me
from her.

I love you more than
I've ever loved her.

I hate this.

No, listen. You stop.
Stop, stop, okay?

Because this is what she wants.
This is what she does.

She just...
She gets right in there.

She's trying to drive a wedge.

[softly] Okay? And I...

[softly] And I love you.
I love you. So much.

Me too.

Just forget about her.

She doesn't matter to us.
Right?

Right?
She doesn't matter to us

because we gonna
get married,

right?

'Cause I'm gonna
make you happy.

[chuckles softly]

I'm gonna...

[softly] Baby, I promise you.

I promise you.
I'm sorry about that.

[xylophone playing notes]

It was a beautiful shower.

[Rita] Look at all of this.

So much love for the baby.

[Serena]
It's going to be a challenge

making sure my child
doesn't grow up spoiled.

You know, after my shower,
we ended up giving away
half our gifts.

Why don't we
put these away?

Ma'am, let me
help you with that.

[Rita yelps]

Let's stretch our legs.

No, no, no, no.

[Offred breathing shakily]

Right here. No, no, no.

‐[jazz music playing]
‐[door opens]

[Commander Fred] Serena?

I want her out of my house.

‐[music stops]
‐Why don't you sit down?

No. You said it would
be my decision!

‐Yes.
‐Good.

Good, then. She'll go back
to the Red Center
and she'll have the baby,

and then I don't care
where she goes after that!

Are you certain
that's what you want?

I can't have her
in the house, Fred.

You're strong.

You don't want to
miss this pregnancy.

[Commander Fred sighs]

We've missed so much already.

You deserve this.

And you're not going to
let her take any part of it
away from you.

You're going to be
a wonderful mother.

Just think about the baby, hmm?

Not her. She's nothing.

[aunt Lydia]
This isn't easy for her.

Don't think
it's easy for me either.

I'm doing my best.

You were a fallen woman.

I am trying to give you
the best chance you can have.

I believe you know him.

He drove
a bread delivery truck.

[Offred shuddering]

The wife will redeem herself
by serving as a Handmaid.

The boy will never
see his mother again.

[sobbing quietly]

‐He has been placed
with new parents.
‐No. No.

Parents who are fit.

Gilead has shown them mercy.

They will have a chance
at a better life.

[continues sobbing]

Of course, if you asked them,

this would not have been
the path they would
have chosen.

But you didn't ask them,
did you?

You chose for them.

Such a selfish girl.

Who killed him?

Answer me, please.

[shuddering]

Whose fault was it? Huh?

[voice breaks]

[softly] My fault.

Who induced him
to commit such a crime?

‐I did.
‐Offred?

I did.

And why did God allow
such a terrible thing
to happen?

Answer me.

Offred.

To teach me a lesson.

To teach June a lesson.

[continues shuddering]

[shushing]

June did this.

June ran away.

June consorted with terrorists.

Not Offred.

Offred was kidnapped.

Offred

is free

from blame.

Offred does not have
to bear June's guilt.

[cries softly]

[shushing]

Commander and...

Mrs. Waterford...

I would very much like to stay

here at home.

If you'll have me.

Manners?

[softly] Please.

Do you have
anything else to say?

I am not worthy yet.

I am so grateful

for everything...

you've done for me.

[softly] Please.

Let me try to be good.

[aunt Lydia] Wonderful.

God will certainly
bless this house with peace.

I have confidence in you all.

You'll find your way.

[lullaby playing]

[door creaking]

[door closes]

[footsteps approaching]

All will be well,

and all will be well.

All manner of things
will be well.

Momma loves you.

[door creaking]

[door closes]

[Offred] My fault.

My fault.

My fault.

My fault.

My fault.

[Luke] Come on.
We're gonna go to Mommy.

[Luke] Let's get you a chair.

[woman] Hi.
Can I get an Americano?

[cooing]

[Hannah whimpers]

[Offred]
I have done something wrong.

Something so huge
I can't even see it,

something that's drowning me.

I am inadequate
and stupid, without worth.

I might as well be dead.

Please, God,
let Hannah forget me.

Let me forget me.

Hey.

[birds chirping]

[sighs]

Look, I'm sorry.

I tried everything
to get you out.

[Offred] We've been sent
good weather.

[Nick] June.

June!

[indistinct radio chatter]

[Offred] We've been
sent good weather.

We've been sent good weather.

We've been sent good weather.

We've been sent good weather.
