The Handmaid's Tale

Previously on The Handmaid's Tale...

Why don't you find another way to kill those Commanders?

At the wedding, did you say there were going to be Handmaids?

All those Handmaids veiled?

Moving as one giant group, anonymous?

That's how we'll hide.

They don't have any weapons.

- I'll smuggle them in. - How long is it gonna take?

One to two hours. They'll go home

and they'll fall fast asleep... and then we're on.

The bombs are still in place. Be a shame not to use them.

Confusion in the city. Perfect time to bring in your military.

Hell yeah.

Something's going on. Are the girls all right?

I must check on the girls.

She will help us fulfill our duty to God.

No, I will not have a Handmaid in our house.

I thought you were a better man, but you're just like the rest of them!

Enough!

You think God wants this abomination of a marriage?

- June Osborn. - Nice to meet you.

Where is June Osborn?

- I'm right here. - I knew it. You did this.

You gave us to them. If you want to save us, let us go.

First we kill the Commanders, then our bombs go off.

Then the military rolls in.

They will never see us coming.

They made it. Get the doors.

Run!

Now!

No! Help!

Help! Help!

- Fucking rapist! - Ofjacob, please!

No!

Mayday should have taken the checkpoint by now.

All these trucks are gonna get through?

We're all gonna get across the border?

Ours has to make one stop first.

Posted Handmaids get on and we get off.

You're staying?

We're not leaving this fight.

Tonight's just the beginning.

In it to win it.

You made a pretty convincing Aunt.

I guess all that community theater finally paid off.

I'm Ava.

Ah, Ava.

It's nice to officially meet you.

I'm staying too.

Look, Charlotte's still here.

Just like Hannah.

They don't get to decide who you are anymore.

Okay?

Go, live your lives.

What is going on down there?

Go back to sleep.

I've been sleeping like a dead woman.

Joseph! Joseph, please.

Serena?

- Come in, come in. - Thank God!

Serena, what happened?

Where's Gabriel?

I left him.

On your wedding night?

I just saw a Handmaid kill a Wife right in front of me.

I heard bombs going off in the city.

- Bombs? - We have to go.

We can't stay here. We have to leave and go to New Bethlehem.

It's too dangerous out there.

Why? What's happening?

Rebellion.

Nick.

Nick.

Nick, wake up.

Get up, it's the baby.

- Something's wrong. - What is it?

It's too soon.

There's our ride.

Make some room.

Where are the other women?

They'll be here.

I'll double-check. Stay here.

Hello?

Hands up! Let's go! Move!

Now!

- Get out! On your knees! - Out now!

- Move it! - Get down!

- Let's go, let's go! - Move, you fucking bitch!

You, let's go.

Let's go, let's go. Line 'em up. Line 'em up.

Move!

Move!

Traitor, get over there!

- Shut up! - Against the wall.

June Osborn.

No.

Show yourself.

June Osborn!

No.

I'm not going to ask again.

No, no! I'm June Osborn. I am June Osborn.

Check my tag.

Come on. Check my tag.

1185.

Take her.

- June, no! - I love you.

- I love you. - I love you.

- Load 'em in! Move! - I love you.

We shouldn't have let them into our homes.

Those women hate us, Serena. They all do.

Yes, wouldn't you?

They killed 37 Commanders.

It is horrendous, but you know what they've had to endure.

We have provided every opportunity for redemption.

We have given every necessity. They're savages.

So, this is enough of your liberal nonsense.

You need to reconcile with your husband.

I don't think that I can.

Well...

I called him. He's here.

What?

We need our men to protect us now.

Be grateful you married a good one.

Mark my words, every traitor

needs to be found accountable.

Oh, absolutely. It was a massacre...

We'll, uh...

leave you to it.

Naomi.

It pained me to see you so upset last night.

Please forgive me for speaking so harshly.

Our marriage...

is a sacred union.

We exchanged vows in the eyes of the Lord.

You broke those vows the moment

that you brought a Handmaid into my home.

We built our love on trust

and mutual respect.

What if...

we tried for a child on our own?

No Handmaid. No Ceremony. Just us.

What if we're not blessed?

We will find our own pathway forward.

God's light...

will show us the way.

The most important thing right now is your and Noah's safety.

And I've arranged escorts

for all the Wives and children to a secure location outside Boston.

- No. No. - Serena.

No, I'm not going deeper into Gilead.

Well then, I need you to stay here.

We'll keep Guardians posted outside.

I'm sorry my love, but I'm heading to D.C.

I've convened the High Council.

Plan our response.

- You're leaving, now? - Tonight.

Flying out of Bedford at 7:00.

I have to deal with those ungodly women here first.

How could this have possibly happened?

While we slept.

Well...

at least those who ate some of our wedding cake.

It was laced with sedatives.

The blades they used were distributed

during our sacred ceremony and reception,

all planned by that heretic, June Osborn.

No, that's not possible. She... She's in Alaska.

No, she's in our custody. I just got word.

I thought that we were friends.

I'm so sorry my love.

It's painful when someone takes advantage of your kind heart.

But you don't have to worry about her anymore.

God's justice

will be served. I promise.

Hello, June.

Do you know who I am?

Of course I do.

I was actually at your wedding, so...

It was a beautiful ceremony.

So was it the bride who figured it out?

Serena was the one who exposed me?

No, Mrs. Wharton was stunned by your betrayal.

Yeah, I bet.

She worked hard to improve conditions for Handmaids.

If only you'd been more patient.

Yeah, that's the thing about state-sanctioned rape.

Patience is not an option.

So utter carnage instead.

Your wicked sins are an affront to God.

And how do you know what offends Him?

I know Gilead is His kingdom here on Earth.

It's a horror show.

Run by men who are twisting His words.

Frauds.

All of you.

It's never been about piety.

It's always been about... power.

Well...

you seem to feel really powerful right now.

This is the beginning of the end.
