Friends, it's a ghastly story.

185

These men stole a young girl,
much like yourselves.

186
00:09:45,877 --> 00:09:49,506
This young girl was the kind
who liked being the center of attention.

187
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:50,965
A spirited girl.

188
00:09:51,049 --> 00:09:54,844
That kind of girl often earns
a violent end for herself.

191
00:09:58,556 --> 00:10:03,311
[Aunt Vidala] These men saw this girl,
and they were overcome by their urges.

192
00:10:04,395 --> 00:10:06,314
They came in the night and took her.

Some of them were her Guardians.

196
00:10:13,738 --> 00:10:16,282
[Aunt Vidala] The urges of men
are terrible things,

197
00:10:16,366 --> 00:10:18,868
and those urges must be curbed.

198

That is the burden that God
has personally laid upon each of you.

199

[Agnes] Just by existing, we were mortally
dangerous to otherwise perfectly good men.

pink dresses were for little girls.

blessed us with a period.

She was my best friend.

226

Except we weren't allowed
to have best friends.

227
00:12:16,903 --> 00:12:19,489
The Aunts said that best friends
led to keeping secrets,

228
00:12:19,572 --> 00:12:21,741
and secrets led to disobedience,

229
00:12:21,824 --> 00:12:25,495

who were immoral, obviously.

In the four years since
The War of Massachusetts,

00:18:51,505 --> 00:18:52,715
Blessed fruit.

356
00:18:53,049 --> 00:18:54,467
May the Lord open.

357
00:19:00,389 --> 00:19:02,391
[♪ classical music playing faintly]

358
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:05,186
Painting and sketching.

359
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:12,860
Music classroom.

360
00:19:12,943 --> 00:19:15,571
[♪ class playing classical music]

361
00:19:19,075 --> 00:19:20,409
Comportment's this way.

362
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:23,120
Domestic management is upstairs,
with Aunt Loreal.

363
00:19:23,204 --> 00:19:26,832
Hospitality, decorating, culinary arts.

364
00:19:27,667 --> 00:19:30,878
Fiber Arts, like embroidery, lace-making.

365
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:33,506
You can make a tablecloth.

366
00:19:33,589 --> 00:19:34,840
If you dare.

367
00:19:34,924 --> 00:19:36,133
And Scripture class.

368
00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:38,636
[Daisy] Praise be His word.

369
00:19:39,845 --> 00:19:41,263
[Agnes] Weirdo.

370
00:19:42,682 --> 00:19:44,892
Aunt Lydia didn't tell me much about you.

371
00:19:46,394 --> 00:19:48,229
Did she tell you anything about me?

372
00:19:50,147 --> 00:19:52,149
Nothing, Miss Agnes.

373

Did she ask you to watch me?

376
00:20:06,580 --> 00:20:09,208
Of course, Miss Agnes.

377
00:20:10,459 --> 00:20:12,670
To learn how to behave properly.

378
00:20:15,339 --> 00:20:17,842
Discipline and Corrections
are in the Aunts' wing.

379
00:20:17,925 --> 00:20:19,927
You only go there when you earn it.

380
00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:25,433
And lunch.

381
00:20:25,516 --> 00:20:27,143

-Let's eat.

385
00:20:40,656 --> 00:20:46,412
You cannot be mistress of a house
unless you are the mistress of yourself.

386
00:20:46,495 --> 00:20:48,372
Do you understand me, girls?

387
00:20:48,456 --> 00:20:50,458
[all girls]
Yes, Aunt Vidala.

388
00:20:51,667 --> 00:20:55,296
It is an offense to God to waste food
with poor preparation.

389
00:20:56,213 --> 00:20:59,842
If your meal is unacceptable,
speak firmly to your Martha.

390
00:21:00,551 --> 00:21:03,137
Do you understand me, girls?

391
00:21:03,220 --> 00:21:05,055
[all girls]
Yes, Aunt Vidala.

392
00:21:05,139 --> 00:21:08,017
Friends, let us give thanks to Him.

393
00:21:12,313 --> 00:21:13,647
And...?

394
00:21:13,731 --> 00:21:15,900
[all girls]
God is great, God is good.

395
00:21:15,983 --> 00:21:17,985
Thank you, God, for our food.

396
00:21:18,068 --> 00:21:20,196
By His blessings, we are fed.

397
00:21:20,279 --> 00:21:21,989
Give us, Lord, our daily bread.

398
00:21:22,072 --> 00:21:23,449
Amen.

399
00:21:25,868 --> 00:21:27,286
[Aunt Vidala] Girls...

400
00:21:28,454 --> 00:21:29,955

[all chattering happily and excitedly]

402
00:21:45,721 --> 00:21:46,931
What is all this then?

403
00:21:47,014 --> 00:21:48,682
This is Daisy.

404
00:21:48,766 --> 00:21:51,435
Aunt Lydia asked me
to make her feel welcome.

405
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:52,686
Hey.

406
00:21:54,063 --> 00:21:56,273
It's a blessing to meet you all.

407
00:21:57,274 --> 00:21:58,359
Ditto.

408
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:06,325
[lively chatter continues in hall]

409
00:22:07,701 --> 00:22:09,620
We're enjoying very fine weather.

410
00:22:10,704 --> 00:22:12,331
By God's blessing.

411
00:22:15,417 --> 00:22:17,837
It's a high-pressure system, I think.

412
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:19,713
-Hm.
-[Shunammite] Daisy,

413
00:22:19,797 --> 00:22:22,299
pray, where do you hail from?

414
00:22:22,383 --> 00:22:25,135
Toronto, Canada,

415
00:22:25,219 --> 00:22:27,471
-Miss...?
-Shunammite.

416
00:22:27,555 --> 00:22:30,349
Oh. That's a beautiful name.

417
00:22:30,432 --> 00:22:32,101
It is.

418
00:22:34,103 --> 00:22:37,606
I imagine Canada's
very different from Gilead.

419
00:22:37,690 --> 00:22:40,609
Toronto has been forsaken by God

420
00:22:40,693 --> 00:22:43,195
and defiled by Satan.

421
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:45,447
It is suffocating in sin.

422
00:22:48,617 --> 00:22:50,119
So, do you miss it?

423
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:54,957
I pray it will be swallowed
whole by the Earth.

424
00:22:59,253 --> 00:23:02,673
Oh. Uh... May He hear your prayer.

425
00:23:09,054 --> 00:23:13,350
Daisy... do you like soft-serve ice cream?

426
00:23:15,269 --> 00:23:16,896
Food is one of His miracles.

427
00:23:16,979 --> 00:23:18,063
They have it here.

428
00:23:18,147 --> 00:23:20,232
Strawberry and vanilla.

429
00:23:20,316 --> 00:23:22,276
Hulda will take you.

430
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,153
Yeah, I can make you a swirl cone.

431
00:23:24,236 --> 00:23:25,905
I'm sort of an expert.

432
00:23:26,322 --> 00:23:28,657
Aunt Lydia urged me
to stay with Miss Agnes.

433
00:23:28,741 --> 00:23:32,328
Ice cream is definitely
one of His miracles.

434
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:34,413
And you wouldn't want to insult God.

435
00:23:37,875 --> 00:23:39,627
You should get some.

436
00:23:39,710 --> 00:23:40,711
Come on.

437
00:23:44,298 --> 00:23:45,925
[Daisy chuckles softly]

438
00:23:50,387 --> 00:23:52,014
[chair scraping]

439
00:23:56,936 --> 00:23:58,771
They stuck you with a Pearl Girl?
What did you do wrong?

440
00:23:58,854 --> 00:24:00,356
She didn't do anything!

441
00:24:01,815 --> 00:24:03,317
[Shunammite] This is unprecedented.

442
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:04,818
So, what did Aunt Lydia say?

443
00:24:05,486 --> 00:24:07,321
She said she's new here.

444
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:09,615
I'm just supposed to be a shepherdess.

445
00:24:10,032 --> 00:24:11,533
I don't like her.
She didn't seem very nice.

446
00:24:11,617 --> 00:24:14,244
Well, you can't trust her.
She'll tell Aunt Lydia everything.

447
00:24:14,328 --> 00:24:15,913
She's a Pearl Girl.

448
00:24:17,164 --> 00:24:18,165
Becka?

449
00:24:18,248 --> 00:24:20,084
Your Martha is here to collect you.

450
00:24:21,168 --> 00:24:22,252
Yes, Aunt Estee.

451
00:24:25,881 --> 00:24:27,299
My fitting.

452
00:24:27,383 --> 00:24:28,384
Pray for me.

453
00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:30,928
I wish I was Green this season.

454
00:24:31,011 --> 00:24:33,430
I wish we all were, together.

455
00:24:34,932 --> 00:24:38,102
It's starting to move very, very fast.

456
00:24:38,727 --> 00:24:41,647
It's a dress, not a husband.

457
00:24:42,356 --> 00:24:43,357
Not yet.

458
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,817
[Shunammite] Well, I can't wait
to have a husband.

459
00:24:44,900 --> 00:24:47,319
Becka, pray, come along.
Shake a leg.

460
00:24:48,946 --> 00:24:50,280
Go in grace.

461
00:24:51,615 --> 00:24:53,242
In grace I go.

462
00:24:55,953 --> 00:24:57,579
[chair scraping]

463
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:03,836
[indistinct chatter]

464
00:25:10,718 --> 00:25:12,052
You should tell on her.

465
00:25:12,136 --> 00:25:13,345
Your Pearl Girl.

466
00:25:14,096 --> 00:25:15,097
For what?

467
00:25:15,180 --> 00:25:17,808
Just say that she gossips
or has a foul tongue.

468
00:25:17,891 --> 00:25:20,310
-Shu...
-Or that she ran off to go get ice cream.

469
00:25:20,394 --> 00:25:21,645
That could be plausible.

470
00:25:21,729 --> 00:25:23,313
[softly] She'd be punished.

471
00:25:23,397 --> 00:25:25,566
-You're an awful person.
-Stop.

472
00:25:25,649 --> 00:25:28,318
I didn't say to make her
a gender traitor or anything.

473
00:25:28,736 --> 00:25:30,362
Just something small.

474
00:25:32,322 --> 00:25:35,868
Agnes, I know that
you are very, very nice,

475
00:25:35,951 --> 00:25:39,371
but it's time to Plum up
and get her before she gets you.

476
00:25:59,349 --> 00:26:01,143
Cinnamon toast.

477
00:26:01,226 --> 00:26:03,479
-Praise be His bounty.
-[chuckles]

478
00:26:08,150 --> 00:26:09,359
Is it awful?

479
00:26:09,443 --> 00:26:12,821
[sighing] Ah. God never sends us
more than we can bear.

480
00:26:12,905 --> 00:26:15,532
[chuckling]
Sometimes He does get close, though.

481
00:26:16,492 --> 00:26:18,368
[Rosa sighs]

482
00:26:18,452 --> 00:26:20,287
Becka had her final fitting.

483
00:26:20,662 --> 00:26:23,499
[Rosa] She must be happy
to be getting a new dress.

484
00:26:24,291 --> 00:26:26,126
I'm sure she looks perfect.

485
00:26:26,835 --> 00:26:28,045
She's a beautiful girl.

486
00:26:29,797 --> 00:26:33,926
She could get an offer
from a Commander at the dance.

487
00:26:34,009 --> 00:26:35,427
Her dad could.

488
00:26:36,845 --> 00:26:40,057
She could marry one
who lives in Wyoming...

489
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:41,558
or anywhere.

490
00:26:42,476 --> 00:26:43,894
Not Maryland.

491
00:26:44,478 --> 00:26:47,106
She won't move far
if she marries a High Commander.

492
00:26:47,648 --> 00:26:49,483
They need to live near the capital.

493
00:26:50,067 --> 00:26:55,155
She could marry one who...
doesn't let his wife have any friends.

494
00:26:55,823 --> 00:26:57,658
Try not to think about it.

495
00:26:59,451 --> 00:27:01,286
Rosa, how did you meet your husband?

496
00:27:03,205 --> 00:27:04,623
Before, I mean.

497
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:07,042
[chuckles softly]

498
00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:10,420
Oh, we met in a bookstore.

499
00:27:12,506 --> 00:27:17,511
Almost everyone we knew then
was meeting online, on Tinder, Bumble.

500
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:20,639
We met in the cookbook section.

501
00:27:21,223 --> 00:27:22,432
What's Tinder?

502
00:27:24,685 --> 00:27:26,937
It's not something you're
ever gonna need to know, Pumpkin.

503
00:27:28,188 --> 00:27:30,607
-[dishes clinking loudly]
-Blessed evening, ma'am.

504
00:27:34,194 --> 00:27:38,031
The Commander will be home Thursday.
I have some things for the Marthas to do.

505
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:40,701
You said your leg was better.

506
00:27:41,743 --> 00:27:42,953
It is, ma'am.

507
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:45,664
Good.

508
00:27:46,373 --> 00:27:49,001
Head up to the third floor.
We'll start there.

509
00:27:51,211 --> 00:27:52,212
Yes, ma'am.

510
00:27:52,296 --> 00:27:54,923
[♪ soft, tense music playing]

511
00:28:01,805 --> 00:28:03,223
I grew up riding.

512
00:28:04,057 --> 00:28:06,643
When a horse would come up lame,
my father would shoot it.

513
00:28:09,563 --> 00:28:10,856
It was hard.

514
00:28:12,733 --> 00:28:14,943
But it was the merciful thing to do.

515
00:28:15,861 --> 00:28:18,155
Haven't I told you that story?

516
00:28:18,906 --> 00:28:20,115
No, Mother.

517
00:28:24,995 --> 00:28:28,582
I learned that sometimes
you have to be hard.

518
00:28:29,166 --> 00:28:32,252
Sometimes you have
to cut off weak branches.

519
00:28:32,336 --> 00:28:33,962
And bothersome ones.

520
00:28:35,214 --> 00:28:38,050
You'll understand when you're
running your own household.

521
00:28:40,219 --> 00:28:41,428
