00:01Previously on The Handmaid's Tale.
00:04Is this ever gonna end?
00:06It's only gonna get worse.
00:08I can let you in to New Bethlehem.
00:11What?
00:12A place where refugees could get amnesty,
00:14where one might visit their grown children.
00:18You're saying I could be with my daughter?
00:21You trust Lawrence?
00:22He has been my friend.
00:24Your friend?
00:25Yes!
00:26He's the architect of Gilead is what they call him,
00:28and you just, you believe him.
00:30He's got a package.
00:31You see?
00:32Yeah.
00:36I know in my heart what is best for my child.
00:39That child came from me.
00:40That is my baby.
00:41You're in here.
00:43And I'm not.
00:44Here's what you're gonna do.
00:46You're gonna go back in there,
00:47and you are gonna act like a handmaid.
00:49But the entire time,
00:51you will be plotting your revenge.
00:54You cannot help your child
00:56if you're not with them.
00:58So what do you think?
00:59You think we can use it to find Hannah's location?
01:01I hope so.
01:02Give us some time.
01:04We found Hannah.
01:05We found her wives' school.
01:07We know where she is.
01:08Mark calls,
01:09and they're gonna do a raid of her school,
01:11and they're gonna go get her,
01:12and they're gonna bring her back to us.
01:13I love you!
01:14I love you!
01:15We're gonna love Mark Tuello!
01:16Mark Tuello!
01:17Mark Tuello!
01:18Mark Tuello!
01:19Mark Tuello!
01:34Did you get much sleep last night?
01:35Hardly any.
01:36Me neither.
01:37A lot of details.
01:38Hey, where is she?
01:39Where's the school?
01:40Colorado.
01:41Colorado Springs.
01:42Near the McKenzie's.
01:43The school's at the former U.S. Air Force Academy.
01:45Turns out it was just repurposed as a wife's school.
01:48Some families there have identified the girls to be evacuated.
01:51So how many girls?
01:52Thirty.
01:53Only those who've been stolen from their parents.
01:56Tonight, our task force will launch in three aircraft,
01:59literally flying under Gilead's radar.
02:01That's possible.
02:02Yes.
02:03Our sources have confirmed a small window of opportunity,
02:05a clear flight path to the school.
02:07Paratroopers will jump from the first plane,
02:09securing the landing strips for the other two.
02:15We'll kill anyone who gets in their way.
02:18Commander?
02:19Luke Bancold, June Osborne,
02:21may I introduce Commander Elijah Vance?
02:23Sir.
02:24To mom.
02:25Ma'am?
02:26Commander.
02:27We are so grateful.
02:29It's incredible what you're doing for us.
02:31You've done some pretty incredible things yourself,
02:33Miss Osborne.
02:36Their daughter is Hannah Bancold.
02:38Goes by Agnes McKenzie in Gilead.
02:40Elite unit to do their homework.
02:43Commander, the girls, um,
02:46when all of this happens,
02:48the girls are gonna just,
02:49they're gonna be so scared and...
02:50I got a kid of my own here in Toronto.
02:52Emma.
02:54Light of my life.
02:57My plan is to bring your daughter home
02:59and go home to mine.
03:04I'll be watching their progress tonight from the consulate.
03:13Watch it?
03:14Live feed.
03:15I'll keep you informed.
03:17No, we, we need to watch it with you.
03:19Yeah.
03:20Uh, none of the other families...
03:22None of the other families gave you the intel
03:24to help make this happen.
03:25I'll be the same.
03:26Okay.
03:27All right then.
03:28I'll see what I can do.
03:30Nice.
03:31Shhh.
03:32Shhh.
03:33Shhh.
03:34Shhh.
03:35Shhh.
03:37Shhh.
03:38Shhh.
03:39Shhh.
03:40Shhh.
03:41Shhh.
03:42Shhh.
03:43Shhh.
03:44Shhh.
03:45Shhh.
03:46Shhh.
03:47Shhh.
03:48Shhh.
03:49Shhh.
03:50Shhh.
03:51Shhh.
03:52Shhh.
04:23Turn him.
04:36This way, a little bit.
04:38Just prop his head up.
04:40There, there, that moment.
04:42There, did you get that?
04:43Got it, Mrs. Wheeler.
04:44All good.
04:44Okay.
04:45It has to be perfect.
04:47It's going in the reception area.
04:49It's the first thing that people will see
04:50when they come to the center.
04:53You know, that does make me wonder,
04:56um, would it be even more effective
04:59if Noah and I were there
05:01to greet our donors and supporters in person?
05:04At the fertility center?
05:07Yes, for the official opening.
05:09And expose him to all of those people
05:11and all of those germs.
05:12Oh, no, no.
05:13You're both going to stay here.
05:15Well, the commanders did send me here
05:17to represent the Republic.
05:21But you're a guest.
05:23Well, you're here in Toronto,
05:24and you're under our supervision.
05:26And my husband doesn't answer to those commanders.
05:30It sounds like someone's hungry.
05:35I can fix that.
05:37You really ought to start pumping again.
05:40Just so that he can bottle feed on occasion.
05:43I mean, that was all that he knew
05:45while you were at the detention center.
05:47I just...
05:49You must miss it.
05:52It will be less confusing for him
05:55if he only nurses for now.
05:59My smart boy won't get confused.
06:05Pope.
06:08For next time.
06:10Mrs. Wheeler.
06:11Certainly.
06:22I will pump for next time.
06:24I know.
06:30I know.
06:32I miss you, Ronald.
06:33I know.
06:36I know.
06:39I know.
06:41She's late.
06:49Two minutes.
06:52Commander, if I may, you're doing the right thing.
06:56The honorable and necessary thing to be a true leader in Iliad.
07:03I appreciate you being here.
07:05I am happy to be of service.
07:08Mrs. Putnam's here, Commander.
07:11Sure am.
07:28What's the day, Commander?
07:31Lydia?
07:32Mrs. Putnam, how lovely to see you.
07:34Tea?
07:41No, thank you.
07:44But please have some yourselves.
07:49I hate tea.
07:51Uh, Mrs. Putnam, 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.
08:13Please don't send me to the colonies.
08:15Please.
08:16I beg you to have mercy on him.
08:17Oh, heavens no.
08:19You're not responsible for war and sins.
08:21Are you kidding?
08:22That guy?
08:23You deserve a reward for putting up with him.
08:28A reward?
08:29Uh, a sense.
08:32Mrs. Putnam, you simply cannot remain a widow with a young child and continue to live in your house.
08:43Oh.
08:44Of course.
08:47Of course.
08:47It's much too grand for two of us.
08:50Maybe a nice condo in Brookline or Back Bay?
08:53For Pete's sake, we're not your realtors.
08:56Commander, may I suggest you convey your intentions?
09:00Uh, right.
09:02Okay, so, so basically it's a, it's a quid pro quo.
09:08You need security?
09:10I need to represent traditional Gilead values, so you, you can move in here with the kid if you want.
09:22As his new wife and child.
09:25A sacred union, of course.
09:26Mrs. 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.
09:54First Corinthians.
09:55And who doesn't love Corinthians, especially First Corinthians?
10:02Now, I mean, it's just a suggestion.
10:09Think about it.
10:14I've, uh, worked it.
10:16Take some time.
10:26But consider your situation.
10:29His stature.
10:32This house.
10:33He had Warren killed in front of me.
10:35I'm not going to get into the room.
10:38Which he's willing to overlook.
10:44So should you.
10:51May I walk you out?
10:53Yes, please.
12:01Come in.
12:09I'm so sorry to disturb you.
12:20Is there a problem?
12:22No.
12:23No, not at all.
12:26I was just hoping for a moment with you.
12:29You gonna shoot me?
12:31What can I do for you?
12:37I am very grateful that Ezra is all right.
12:44And for you and Mrs. Wheeler to welcome me back into your home with such kindness and understanding, it's a blessing.
12:54Little Noah deserves a safe space.
12:58Yes.
12:59Yes, of course he does.
13:01I know that you're working on tomorrow's opening.
13:05Uh, Gilead could have used men like you in the early days to avoid all those missteps.
13:14Live and learn.
13:15Well, it heartens me to see how involved you are.
13:18You truly are Iliad's future.
13:21Oh, I think I've buttered up.
13:24What's actually on your mind?
13:26The idea to repurpose the Welcome Center into a fertility center, that was my idea.
13:33I came up with that.
13:35I should be there with Noah as a symbol of a successful pregnancy.
13:43To recruit more followers, more supporters.
13:46To get women to come in.
13:48Women who want children of their own.
13:51That was the role that was intended for me.
13:54That is what I am meant to do.
14:01That's a nice pitch.
14:05I appreciate your passion.
14:07For the cause.
14:10I'll consider it.
14:16Praise be.
14:17Oh, yeah.
14:21The planes are traveling parallel to the border.
14:34They'll cross near Montana, then fly due south.
14:42That, uh, live feed.
14:44That, uh, shows all activity at Hannah's school.
14:48So she's in there?
14:51Right now?
14:53We'll see the rate as it happens.
14:57What's happening?
15:00Tigers two, three, decrease speed to 500 to follow.
15:04Maintain visuals on one.
15:08Tiger one, you're up first.
15:10Shoot me on hard left in Delta five.
15:12The defense in in Delta five.
15:15Tiger two and three to follow.
15:16Hey, banana.
15:17Let our hearts be devoted to God.
15:18To walk in his statues.
15:19To keep his commandments, as at this day.
15:22May the Lord keep you and bless you.
15:24May the Lord keep you and bless you.
15:26May the Lord keep you and bless you.
15:28May the Lord keep you and bless you.
15:30Good night, Aunt Paula.
15:31Good night, Aunt Paula.
15:32Good night, Aunt Paula.
15:33Good night, Aunt Paula.
15:34Good night, Aunt Paula.
15:35Good night, Aunt Paula.
15:37May the Lord keep you and bless you.
15:38May the Lord keep you and bless you.
15:39May the Lord keep you and bless you.
15:53Good night, Grace.
15:55Blessed dreams.
15:56Good night, Aunt Paula.
15:5810, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15, 16, 16, 16, 16, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 24, 25, 24, 25, 25, 25.
17:28You're coming home.
17:47Tiger 1, slide left and pull up.
17:50Tiger 2, Tiger 3, follow.
17:52Slide left and go high.
17:54Tiger 2, get them out.
18:03Get them out.
18:04Get them out.
18:05Get them out of here.
18:19Get them out.
18:49They're, uh, they're still at the school.
18:54It appears our intel was wrong.
18:57Uh, Gilead had anticipated our mission,
19:00and they, uh, moved their anti-aircraft systems.
19:09They took all three planes down
19:11as soon as they crossed the border.
19:13What?
19:16There are no survivors.
19:19I'm sorry, I need to call the other families.
19:29Hello?
19:39Um, I'm sorry, June. I really am. All this bloodshed, it's...
19:49it's exactly what I was trying to avoid.
19:51Our soldiers are dead. Just fucking slaughtered them.
19:59They invaded my country.
20:01To save our children.
20:03Citizens of Gilead.
20:04They were stolen from us. You knew it.
20:05I gave you the chance to be with Hannah.
20:09You threw your lot in with the Americans.
20:11Is that why you called? To blame me?
20:13No. I-I called because I...I want you to know you can still come to New Bethlehem.
20:21Why would you let me do that?
20:22Why would you let me do that?
20:23Hannah's a symbol now. Like it or not. So are you. So after last night?
20:31It would be even more effective if June Osborne chose to return to Gilead to be close to her child. You could be close to Nick, too.
20:53What do you mean?
20:59Nick will be there.
21:01You could be neighbors. You could borrow...cups of sugar from each other or whatever the kids are calling it these days.
21:09Do you think that you can just dangle Nick in front of me and I'll just do whatever the fuck you want?
21:14I think it's a good deal and I think you should take it.
21:23But...there's one thing. I need you to go public. Call the failed mission a foolish act of aggression.
21:43What? No, I'm not gonna say that.
21:47Why not? It's the truth. Americans did what they always do.
21:51They put Hannah...they put all of those girls in real danger.
21:56I cannot make Gilead look like the victim here.
22:01Joseph, that...this isn't...it is an evil fucking country. I can't do that.
22:08I'm trying to fix it from the inside.
22:10You are still a part of it. You are one of them.
22:15It's even worse. Cause I know you know better.
22:20I'm doing what I can. Step by step. It's what I promised Eleanor.
22:29Eleanor hated you. She couldn't stand the sight of you. She was so broken and so ashamed of the man that she loved.
22:57She loved.
23:02But she'd rather be dead.
23:10I watched her die.
23:12I did. I watched her die.
23:17And I did nothing.
23:22Nothing.
23:24I knew...I knew you had...
23:29something to do with it.
23:42But Eleanor would still want me to help you with Hannah.
23:48So, come back.
23:51I want her here.
23:57I want my baby here.
24:03Safe.
24:06And free.
24:11Please.
24:12help.
24:14It's never gonna happen.
24:15Then go fuck yourself.
24:21Then go fuck yourself!
24:51No!
24:53Girl...
24:55Dad!
24:57No!
24:59Dad, I know.
25:01Dad...
25:03Dad...
25:05Dad...
25:07Dad...
25:09Dad...
25:11Dad...
25:13Dad...
25:15Dad...
25:17Dad...
25:19Dad...
25:20Okay.
25:23You're gonna be okay.
25:28You're gonna be okay.
25:36I'm gonna be down.
25:39Wait till they see him, Mrs. Waterford.
25:41So please, Mr. Wheeler gave you permission.
25:44Me too.
25:50Blessed day, Mrs. Wheeler.
26:00Stay away from my husband.
26:06Sneaking down all alone in the middle of the night?
26:09Mrs. Wheeler, I assure you...
26:10After I told you no?
26:13Who do you think you are?
26:15I am Mrs. Frederick Waterford.
26:23To me, you are just a whore.
26:30I'm coming with you.
26:33Get in.
26:34Doesn't matter.
26:53precisa
26:55We shouldn't have trusted those sources.
27:21Gilead was always one step ahead of us, Mark.
27:25Lawrence called me this morning.
27:38I'm so done with that son of a bitch.
27:44No doubt they see this as a victory.
27:47Yeah.
27:51Fuck them.
27:53Fuck them, Mark.
27:55You know how we honor those soldiers?
28:01We do not stop fighting.
28:03No matter what they throw at us, we don't stop.
28:06Not for one fucking second.
28:09So what's next?
28:14What do we do now?
28:15So you're done with Lawrence?
28:22Mm-hmm.
28:24What about Nick Blaine?
28:28What about him?
28:30I offered to help him when I was in Gilead.
28:33He said, if he'd help us, why'd he turn me down?
28:46What, to be your inside man in Gilead or something?
28:51At first.
28:52But then, eventually, to be our man here with immunity.
28:58And he said, no?
28:59Yes, but he can still have that.
29:02Maybe you could persuade him.
29:06Nick was an eye.
29:07He's a commander now.
29:08Someone like that, defecting from Gilead.
29:15Big impact.
29:17You can make one, too.
29:23You could, you know that.
29:36After Angel's flight, after your testimony against Waterford, you should step up.
29:42Put your power to use.
29:45I don't feel comfortable doing that right now, Mark.
29:51Fair enough.
29:53What about Nick?
29:59I could set up a meeting.
30:01I could set it up today.
30:07Be nice to have a win.
30:10Yeah.
30:16Yeah, set it up.
30:23Praise the Lord.
30:26Such a precious miracle.
30:28So, darling.
30:29You're so blessed.
30:31My late husband and I, God rest his soul, we tried for many years to conceive.
30:36There was a lot of heartache and disappointment.
30:39So, I do understand the yearning for a child, but Gilead helped a lot.
30:43Clean water, clean air, scrubbing all of those horrible toxins out of the environment, and above all, a devotion to God.
30:52And living by the highest moral standards, so, if you follow Gilead's path in Toronto, then perhaps you, too, could be blessed with a child of your own.
31:02Serena?
31:03Serena?
31:06Praise be.
31:08Excuse me.
31:09The driver will take you home.
31:13You must be exhausted.
31:14Oh, I'm doing fine, thank you.
31:15There are still so many people here to greet and talk to.
31:18They're not here to see you.
31:19They're here to see Noah.
31:21He is the, uh, star attraction.
31:24Leave Noah here with us.
31:26Tomorrow, I think, I think I'll bring Noah by myself, so you can get some more rest.
31:32That sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.
31:34Right, I am quite tired.
31:44I'll just need to nurse him before I leave.
31:46Oh, no need.
31:47We'll just use a bottle.
31:49I didn't bring one.
31:53I told you to always have one on hand.
31:56I should have packed one, Mrs. Willow.
32:00Oh, my mistake, just so foolish of me.
32:04Well, just don't take too long.
32:09I think that's up to little Noah, isn't it?
32:16Thank you for letting me be a part of today.
32:19I'm very grateful.
32:21There's a nice, quiet spot in the back.
32:23This is wonderful.
32:29Shh.
32:34Shh.
32:56Shh.
32:56Shh.
32:57Shh.
32:57Shh.
32:59Shh.
32:59Do you mind if I have some privacy?
33:09Of course.
33:18Thank you so much.
33:29Please stop, stop, stop, stop.
33:51Please.
33:53Please.
33:56Please stop, stop, stop.
33:59Please, please help me save my son, please.
34:08Okay, get in.
34:15Thank you, bless you.
34:16Please just go, please.
34:43Bye-bye.
34:52Bye-bye.
34:52I wish you'd said yes.
35:13To Lawrence's offer?
35:15Yeah.
35:16Why didn't you say yes to Mark?
35:19He told me.
35:20He said he could still help you come to Canada.
35:24Why the fuck didn't you say anything?
35:27I can't just pick up and leave.
35:28But you expect me to?
35:31I'm married now. I have a wife.
35:33I have Luke. I have Nicole.
35:36You can bring Rose with you.
35:39No, I can't. Gilead's her home.
35:43Her father's a top commander. She's happy there.
35:45Happy?
35:46Happy.
35:46So what happens when they want you to have a baby?
35:50What happens when they issue you a handmaid
35:52and your wife has to hold her down while you...
35:55Rose is pregnant.
36:08Oh.
36:16Right.
36:17Gilead's changing.
36:24There's progress.
36:25Under Lawrence, we're...
36:26We're making you better.
36:31Me?
36:34I have to do whatever it takes to protect my family,
36:37just like you.
36:37I want what's best for both our families.
36:57Well, this is a fine mess, isn't it?
37:00Well, the world's a mess.
37:10Yeah.
37:11You know what I wish, though?
37:15I wish the world would just go away.
37:20Just for a little bit.
37:21It's going to be hard for us to see each other.
37:34I don't want to make trouble for you.
37:35You do me a favor, and you tell Nicole that I love her.
37:50Tell her I miss her, and that I think about her all the time.
37:52And you do that for me?
37:54Of course I love her.
37:55I should go.
38:05You drove yourself?
38:09Yeah, not fancy enough for my own driver yet.
38:17I love you.
38:18Hey, Nick.
38:43Yeah.
38:45Children look to their fathers, you know.
38:48Set an example.
39:18Rose, I'm so happy for you.
39:30There's no greater gift than a child.
39:32I know Agnes has certainly been mine.
39:36Ah, glory be.
39:38You are absolutely glowing.
39:41How lovely.
39:42Blessings upon you and the commander, Mrs. Blaine.
39:45Thank you, Aunt Lydia.
39:46Aunts are on the guest list now.
39:50Aunt Lydia's here at the commander's request.
39:54To be my chaperone.
39:56It is my honor to accompany you, Mrs. Putten.
40:01Well, thank the Lord for such an incredible miracle.
40:05You and Nick must be thrilled.
40:07And concerned.
40:08I don't have a chance for any genetic issues, considering.
40:18We'll leave that in God's hands.
40:26Brothers, the world knows now that Gilead will defend its borders and protect our children.
40:33And the force and the fury of God, we kept my dear Agnes and all the other girls safe.
40:40Price be.
40:41Not to mention, we've strengthened our alliances.
40:45The ambassadors from China, Russia, and North Korea have all congratulated us for sticking it to the Americans.
40:52Well, I guess we're playing with the big boys now.
40:54You know, what's the old saying?
40:55Uh, any club that would have me as a member?
41:04Blaine, uh, our troops are on the move?
41:08Yes, sir.
41:08Uh, we'll have two battalions waiting at the border.
41:10Well, that's excellent.
41:12Canada will think twice before letting the Americans use their airspace again.
41:16So, all in all, a success.
41:20Well, June Osborne is still stirring up trouble.
41:24It's about time we fix that problem, don't you agree?
41:34Certainly worth considering.
41:37Shall we, gentlemen?
41:46You okay?
41:52No, you're here.
41:54May I take a moment to thank our gracious host.
42:08Your vision for Gilead's future, your commitment to our values and our purpose.
42:12You have impressed and, uh, well, surprised me, Commander.
42:22I like to, uh, defy expectations.
42:29And so you have.
42:31You're truly one of us now.
42:34Praise be.
42:34Praise be.
42:35Praise be.
42:36Praise be.

43:15We remember these patriots. Their service, their courage, their sacrifice for our country.
43:37And now, Emma?
43:53I pledge allegiance.
44:07I pledge.
44:09Can I help?
44:21Hi, Emma.
44:23Can I help you?
44:25You wanna say it with me?
44:27Okay, ready?
44:29I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice.
44:55To the rest of your rights!

45:29War is gold, so is sex
45:32Let's play God, you go next
45:34Hands go up, men go down
45:37Try my luck, stand my ground
45:39Dying church, live in jail
45:42Say her name, twice in hell
45:44Uncle Sam, kiss the man
45:46Jim Crow Jesus, rose again
45:49I like my woman in the kitchen
45:53I teach my children superstitions
45:58I feed my two girls on my blue nightstand
46:03A pretty young thing, she can wash my clothes
46:06But she'll never ever wear my pants
46:08I pledge allegiance to the flag
46:11Learn the words from my mom and dad
46:13Cross my heart and I hope to die
46:15With a big old piece of American pie
46:18Love me baby
46:19Love me for who I am
46:23Falling angels
46:25Sing and clap your hands
