[June]

Previously on The Handmaid's Tale...

- [Luke] Is this ever gonna end?

- It's only gonna get worse.

I can let you in to New Bethlehem.

- What?

- A place where refugees can get amnesty.

Where one might visit

their grown children.

You're saying I can be with my daughter?

- [Luke] You trust Lawrence?

- He has been my friend.

- [Luke] Your friend?

- Yes!

"The architect of Gilead"

is what they call him,

and you just... you believe him.

You got a package.

- Do you see it?

- Yeah.

I know in my heart

what is best for my child.

That child came from me.

That is my baby.

You're in here,

and I'm not.

Here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna go back in there,

and you are gonna act like a Handmaid.

But the entire time,

you will be plotting your revenge.

You cannot help your child

if you're not with them.

[Luke] So what do you think?

You think we can use it

to find Hannah's location?

I hope so.

Give us some time.

[Mark] We found Hannah.

We found her Wife School.

We know where she is.

[June] Mark called.

And they're gonna

do a raid of her school,

and they're gonna go get her.

They're gonna bring her back to us.

- I love you.

- I love you.

I fucking love Mark Tuello.

I fucking love Mark Tuello.

[Mark] Did you get

much sleep last night?

[June] Hardly any.

[Mark] Me neither. A lot of details.

[Luke] Hey, where is she?

Where's the school?

[Mark] Colorado Springs.

[June] Near the Mackenzies.

[Mark] The school's at the former

US Air Force academy.

Turns out it was just repurposed

as a Wife School.

Some families there have identified

the girls to be evacuated.

- [June] So, how many girls?

- Thirty.

Only those who've been stolen

from their parents.

Tonight, our task force

will launch in three aircraft,

- literally flying under Gilead's radar.

- That's possible?

Yes. Our sources have confirmed

a small window of opportunity,

a clear flight path to the school.

Paratroopers will jump

from the first plane,

securing the landing strips

for the other two.

They'll kill anyone

who gets in their way.

[Mark] Commander.

Luke Bankole, June Osborne.

May I introduce Commander Elijah Vance?

- Sir.

- It's an honor.

- [Commander Vance] Ma'am.

- Commander.

We are so grateful. It's incredible

what you're doing for us.

You've done some pretty

incredible things yourself, Ms. Osborne.

- Her daughter is--

- Hannah Bankole.

Goes by Agnes Mackenzie in Gilead.

Elite unit. They do their homework.

Commander, the girls, um...

When all of this happens,

the girls are gonna just--

- They're gonna be so scared, and--

- I got a kid of my own here in Toronto.

Emma.

Light of my life.

My plan is to bring your daughter home

and go home to mine.

Thank you.

I'll be watching their progress tonight

from the consulate.

- [Luke] Watching?

- Live feed. I'll keep you informed.

- No. We need to watch it with you.

- Yeah.

Uh... None of the other families--

None of the other families gave you

the intel to help make this happen.

All right then.

I'll see what I can do.

Thank you.

Nice.

[camera shutter clicks]

[Mrs. Wheeler] Turn him.

This way. A little bit.

Just prop his head up.

There. That moment.

There. Did you get that?

- Got it, Mrs. Wheeler. All good.

- Okay.

It has to be perfect.

It's going in the reception area.

It's the first thing

that people will see

when they come to the Center.

You know, that does make me wonder,

would it be even more effective

if Noah and I were there

to greet our donors

and supporters in person?

- At the fertility center?

- Yes, for the official opening.

And expose him to all of those people

and all of those germs? [laughs]

No, you're both gonna stay here.

The Commanders did send me here

to represent the republic.

But you're our guest...

while you're here in Toronto.

And you're under our supervision,

and my husband doesn't answer

to those Commanders.

[Noah crying]

[Handmaid] Sounds like someone's hungry.

I can fix that.

You really ought to start pumping again.

So that he can bottle-feed on occasion.

I mean, that was all that he knew

while you were at the Detention Center.

He must miss it.

It will be less confusing for him

if he only nurses for now.

My smart boy won't get confused.

Pump.

For next time.

Mrs. Wheeler.

Certainly.

I will pump for next time.

[Noah crying]

[Mrs. Wheeler]

I know. You miss your bottle.

- [Lawrence] She's late.

- Two minutes.

Commander, if I may,

you're doing the right thing.

The honorable and necessary thing

to be a true leader in Gilead.

- I appreciate you being here.

- I am happy to be of service.

[Handmaid]

Mrs. Putnam's here, Commander.

Show her in.

[Lawrence groans]

Blessed day, Commander.

- Aunt Lydia.

- Mrs. Putnam. How lovely to see you.

- Tea?

- No, thank you.

But please, have some yourselves.

I hate tea.

Uh... Eh...

Mrs. Naomi,

I recognize that the incident

regarding your late husband

has left you on your own

with a young child,

and I've considered

what to do about your future.

Please don't send me to The Colonies.

Please. I beg you to have mercy.

Oh! Heavens, no.

[Lawrence] You're not responsible

for Warren's sins.

Are you kidding? That guy?

You deserve a reward

for putting up with him.

A reward?

In a sense.

Mrs. Putnam, you simply cannot

remain a widow with a young child

and continue to live in your house.

Oh.

Of course.

It's much too grand for two of us.

Maybe a nice condo

in Brookline or Back Bay.

For Pete's sake.

We're not your realtors.

Commander, may I suggest

you convey your intentions?

[stutters] Right. Okay.

So, basically, it's a quid pro quo.

You need security. I need

to represent traditional Gilead values.

So, you can move in here

with the kid if you want.

As his new Wife and child.

A sacred union, of course.

This is a marriage proposal?

Yep. So, [clears throat]

what do you say?

I have a choice?

That's hurtful.

Mrs. Putnam,

a Wife is bound

to her husband as long as he lives.

But if her husband dies, she is free

to marry whom she chooses.

Only in the Lord.

First Corinthians.

And who doesn't love Corinthians?

Especially First Corinthians.

Naomi... it's just a suggestion.

Think about it.

I've work to do.

[exhales]

Take some time.

But consider your situation.

His stature, this house.

He had Warren killed in front of me.

Which he's willing to overlook.

So should you.

May I walk you out?

[Naomi] Yes, please.

[sighs wearily]

Come in.

I'm so sorry to disturb you.

- Is there a problem?

- No, not at all.

I was just hoping for a moment with you.

Are you gonna shoot me?

What can I do for you?

I am very grateful

that Ezra is all right.

And for you and Mrs. Wheeler

to welcome me back into your home

with such kindness

and understanding, it's a blessing.

Little Noah deserves a safe space.

Yes, of course he does.

I know that you're working

on tomorrow's opening.

Gilead could have used men like you

in the early days

to avoid all those missteps.

Live and learn.

Well, it heartens me

to see how involved you are.

- You truly are Gilead's future.

- Oh, I think I'm buttered up.

What's actually on your mind?

The idea to repurpose the welcome center

into a fertility center.

That was my idea. I came up with that.

I should be there with Noah,

as a symbol of a successful pregnancy.

To recruit more followers,

more supporters,

to get women to come in.

Women who want children of their own.

That was the role

that was intended for me.

That is what I am meant to do.

That's a nice pitch.

I appreciate your passion for the cause.

I'll consider it.

- Praise be.

- Oh, yeah.

[man 1] Uplink is steady.

618, holding strong.

Planes are traveling

parallel to the border.

They'll cross near Montana,

then fly due south.

[man 2 over radio]

Tiger One, confirm your position.

I'm looking at it now.

[woman over radio] This is vector

zero-nine-zero at 85miles, 400 knots.

That, uh, live feed,

it shows

all activity at Hannah's school.

[woman over radio]

This is 500. Roger that.

So, she's in there?

- Signal's good.

- [man 2 over radio] Tiger One, altitude.

Right now?

[Mark] We'll see the raid as it happens.

[man 1] We're confirming coordinates...

[man 2 over radio]

Tiger One, maintain course.

Is that...

All clear.

[man 2] Tigers Two, Three,

increase speed to 500 to follow.

[man 3] Maintain visuals on One.

- [man 4] Roger that.

- [man 5] Roger.

[man 2] Tiger One, you're up first.

We are hard left in Delta Five.

Let's fence in, in Delta Five.

[woman]

Gilead space in Delta Five, copy.

[man 2] Tigers Two and Three to follow.

Hey, Banana.

[girls] Let our hearts

be devoted to God,

to walk in His statutes,

to keep His commandments

as at this day.

May the Lord keep you and bless you.

[girls] May the Lord keep you

and bless you.

Good night, girls. Blessed dreams.

[girls] Good night, Aunt Paula.

[woman over radio] Roger that.

[man over radio] Maintain visual on One.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[indistinct radio chatter continues]

You're coming home.

[man over radio]

Tiger One, slide left and pull south.

Tiger Two, Tiger Three, follow.

Slide left and go high.

Copy. Left and high.

[woman 1] They got lock!

- [woman 2] Signal is lost.

- [man] Signal's down.

What's happening?

[Mark] Get them out.

- Get them out.

- What's happening?

Get them out of here. Now.

[indistinct clamoring]

[door closes]

[footsteps approaching]

The girls are safe.

They're still at the school.

It appears our intel was wrong.

Gilead anticipated

our mission and they, uh...

moved their anti-aircraft systems.

They took all three planes down

as soon as they crossed the border.

[Luke] What?

There are no survivors.

Sorry. I need to...

call the other families.

[cell phone buzzing]

- Hello.

- [Lawrence] Um, I'm sorry.

June, I really am. All this bloodshed.

It's exactly what I was trying to avoid.

Our soldiers are dead.

Just fucking slaughtered them.

- They invaded my country.

- To save our children.

Citizens of Gilead.

They were stolen from us. You knew that.

I gave you the chance to be with Hannah.

You threw your lot in

with the Americans.

Is that why you called? To blame me?

No. I called because I want you to know

you can still come to New Bethlehem.

Why would you let me do that?

Hannah's a symbol now.

And like it or not, so are you.

So, after last night,

it would be even more effective

if June Osborne

chose to return to Gilead

to be close to her child.

You can be close to Nick too.

- What do you mean?

- Nick will be there.

You could be neighbors.

You could borrow...

cups of sugar from each other.

Whatever the kids

are calling it these days.

Do you think that you can

just dangle Nick in front of me

and I'll just do whatever

the fuck you want?

I think it's a good deal

and I think you should take it.

But...

there's this one thing. Um...

I need you to go public.

Call the failed mission

a foolish act of aggression.

What? No, I'm not gonna say that.

Why not? It's the truth.

Americans did what they always do.

They put Hannah-- They put

all of those girls in real danger.

I cannot make Gilead

look like the victim here.

Joseph, this is an--

It is an evil fucking country.

I can't do that.

I'm trying to fix it from the inside.

You are still a part of it.

You are one of them.

It's even worse,

'cause I know you know better.

I'm doing what I can.

Step by step is what I promised Eleanor.

Eleanor hated you.

She couldn't stand the sight of you.

She was so... broken and so...

ashamed...

of the man that she loved...

that she'd rather be dead.

I watched her die.

I did. I watched her die.

And I did nothing.

Nothing.

I knew you had...

something to do with it.

But Eleanor would still want me

to help you with Hannah.

So, come back.

I want her here.

I want my baby here.

Safe...

and free.

Please.

It's never gonna happen.

Then go fuck yourself.

[grunting]

Fuck!

Don't.

It's happened.

I know.

You see that.

- I know.

- Let me go.

It's gonna be okay.

- Please let me go.

- You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

We're gonna get her.

Wait till they see him, Mrs. Waterford.

So pleased Mr. Wheeler

gave you permission.

Me too.

Blessed day, Mrs. Wheeler.

Stay away from my husband.

Sneaking down all alone

in the middle of the night?

- Mrs. Wheeler, I assure you--

- After I told you no?

Who do you think you are?

I am Mrs. Fredrick Waterford.

To me, you're just a whore.

I'm coming with you.

Get in.

We shouldn't have trusted those sources.

Gilead was always one step

ahead of us, Mark.

Lawrence called me this morning.

I'm so done with that son of a bitch.

- No doubt, they see this as a victory.

- Yeah.

Fuck them. Fuck them, Mark.

You know how we honor those soldiers?

We do not stop fighting.

No matter what they throw at us,

we don't stop.

Not for one fucking second.

So, what's next?

What do we do now?

- So, you're done with Lawrence?

- Mm-hmm.

What about Nick Blaine?

What about him?

I offered to help him

when I was in Gilead,

if he'd help us, but he turned me down.

What, to be your inside man

in Gilead or something?

At first, but then, eventually,

to be our man here.

With immunity.

He said no?

Yes, but he can still have that.

Maybe you could persuade him.

Nick was an Eye. He's a Commander now.

Someone like that

defecting from Gilead... Big impact.

You can make one, too.

You could. You know that.

After Angels' Flight,

after your testimony against Waterford,

you should step up.

Put your power to use.

I don't feel comfortable

doing that right now, Mark.

Fair enough.

What about Nick?

I could set up a meeting.

I could set it up today.

Be nice to have a win.

Yeah.

Yeah, set it up.

- Praise the Lord.

- Such a precious miracle.

- So darling. You're so blessed.

- Thank you.

My late husband and I,

God rest his soul,

we tried for many years to conceive.

There was a lot

of heartache and disappointment.

So, I do understand

the yearning for a child.

But Gilead helped a lot.

Clean water, clean air,

scrubbing all of those horrible toxins

out of the environment,

and above all, a devotion to God.

And living by

the highest of moral standards.

So, if you follow

Gilead's path in Toronto,

then, perhaps, you too could be

blessed with a child of your own.

Serena?

- Praise be.

- Excuse me.

The Driver will take you home.

You must be exhausted.

I'm doing fine. Thank you.

There's still so many people here

to greet and talk to.

They're not here to see you.

They're here to see Noah.

He is the star attraction.

Leave Noah here with us.

Tomorrow, I think

I'll bring Noah by myself,

so you can get some more rest.

That sounds like

a pretty sweet deal to me.

[Noah fussing]

Right. I am quite tired.

I'll just need to nurse him

before I leave.

Oh, no need. We'll just use a bottle.

I didn't bring one.

I told you to always have one on hand.

I should have packed one, Mrs. Wheeler.

My mistake. Just so foolish of me.

Well, just don't take too long.

Think that's up

to little Noah, isn't it?

Thank you for letting me

be a part of today. I'm very grateful.

There's a nice quiet spot

in the back, Mrs. Waterford.

Thank you.

[Noah fussing]

Do you mind if I have some privacy?

Of course.

Thank you so much.

[alarm ringing]

Please stop. Stop.

Please.

Please stop.

Please. Please help me

save my son. Please.

Okay. Get in.

Thank you.

Thank you. Bless you.

Please, just go. Please.

Wish you'd said yes.

- To Lawrence's offer?

- Yeah.

Why didn't you

say yes to Mark? He told me.

He said he could still help you

come to Canada.

Why the fuck didn't you say anything?

- I can't just pick up and leave.

- But you expect me to?

- I'm married now. I have a Wife.

- I have Luke. I have Nichole.

You can bring Rose with you.

No, I can't. Gilead's her home.

Her father's the top Commander.

She's happy there.

Happy? So, what happens when

they want you to have a baby?

What happens when they issue you

a Handmaid, and your Wife

- has to hold her down while you--

- She's pregnant.

Rose is pregnant.

Oh.

Right.

Gilead's changing.

There's progress under Lawrence.

We're making it better.

"We"?

I have to do whatever it takes

to protect my family, just like you.

I want what's best

for both our families.

This is a fine mess, isn't it?

And the world's a mess.

Yeah. You know what I wish, though?

I wish the world would just go away.

Just for a little bit.

It's gonna be hard for us

to see each other.

I don't want to make trouble for you.

Do me a favor

and tell Nichole that I love her.

Tell her I miss her

and that I think about her all the time.

You do that for me?

Of course I will.

I should go.

You drove yourself?

Yeah. I'm not fancy enough

for my own driver yet.

I love you.

I love you.

- Hey, Nick?

- Yeah.

Children look to their fathers,

you know.

Set an example.

[car door opens]

[car door shuts]

[exhales sharply]

[car drives away]

Rose, I'm so happy for you.

There's no greater gift than a child.

I know Agnes has certainly been mine.

Oh! Glory be.

You are absolutely glowing.

How lovely.

Blessings upon you

and the Commander, Mrs. Blaine.

- Thank you, Aunt Lydia.

- Aunts are on the guest list now?

Aunt Lydia's here

at the Commander's request.

To be my chaperone.

It is my honor

to accompany you, Mrs. Putnam.

Well, thank the Lord

for such an incredible miracle.

- You and Nick must be thrilled.

- And concerned.

Chance for any

genetic issues... Considering.

We'll leave that in God's hands.

Brothers, the world knows now

that Gilead will defend its borders

and protect our children.

And the force and the fury of God,

they kept my dear Agnes

and all the other girls safe.

Praise be.

Not to mention,

we've strengthened our alliances.

The ambassadors from China,

Russia and North Korea

have all congratulated us

for sticking it to the Americans.

I guess we're playing

with the big boys now.

Yeah, what's the old saying?

"Any club that would

have me as a member..."

Blaine, our troops are on the move?

Yes, sir. We'll have

two battalions waiting at the border.

That's excellent.

Canada will think twice before letting

the Americans use their airspace again.

So, all in all, a success.

Well, June Osborne

is still stirring up trouble.

It's about time we

fixed that problem. Don't you agree?

Certainly worth considering.

Shall we, gentlemen?

- You okay?

- Now that you're here.

[Commander Mackenzie] May I take

a moment to thank our gracious host?

Your vision for Gilead's future,

your commitment to our values

and our purpose.

You have impressed,

and surprised me, Commander.

I like to...

defy expectations.

[Commander Mackenzie] I'd say you have.

You're truly one of us now.

- Praise be.

- Praise be.

Praise be.

[Mark] Lieutenant Miguel Rodriguez.

Ensign Evan Sandler.

Chief Petty Officer Levi Scott.

[female protester] Get up! Go home!

[Mark] Senior Chief Petty Officer

Jill Strickland.

- [male protester] Fuck America!

- [female protester] They deserved it!

[Mark] Ensign Benjamin Turner.

Petty Officer First Class Adam Umansky.

[male protester] Go home!

[Mark] Commander Elijah...

Commander Elijah Vance.

We remember these patriots...

their service,

their courage,

their sacrifice...

for our country.

And now, Emma?

I pledge allegiance...

[male protester]

Get the fuck out of our country!

[protesters continue clamoring]

I pledge...

[male protester]

Their blood is on your hands!

Can I help?

[female protester]

They're dead because of you!

Hi, Emma. Can I help you?

You wanna say it with me? Okay. Ready?

"I pledge allegiance... to the Flag...

of the United States of America...

and to the Republic for which it stands,

[all join in]

one nation under God, indivisible,

with liberty and justice..."

- [gunshots]

- [people screaming]

[gunshots continue]

["Americans" playing]

Hold on, don't fight your war alone

Halo around you

Don't have to face it on your own

We will win this fight

Let all souls be brave

We'll find a way to heaven

We'll find a way

War is old, so is sex

Let's play God, you go next

Heads go up, men go down

Try my luck, stand my ground

Die in church, live in jail

Say her name, twice in hell

Uncle Sam kissed a man

Jim Crow Jesus rose again

I like my woman in the kitchen

I teach my children superstitions

I keep my two guns on my blue nightstand

A pretty young thang,

she can wash my clothes

But she'll never ever wear my pants

I pledge allegiance to the flag

Learned the words from my mom and dad

Cross my heart and I hope to die

With a big old piece of American pie

Love me baby, love me for who I am

Fallen angels singing, "clap your hands"

Don't try to take my country

I will defend my land

I'm not crazy, baby, naw

I'm American

I'm American

I'm American
