The Handmaid's Tale

Previously on The Handmaid's Tale...

I fucking found you.

You can't make me leave without Hannah.

Do you wanna help her? Fight them from Canada.

Luke, Emily, everyone who loves you is there.

You'll come back for Nichole.

Come back for your baby daughter.

Please leave the premises immediately!

We're in a really bad situation.

I think we should turn her in.

This is supposed to be a humanitarian mission.

Humanitarian missions are about people.

Not one person.

Gilead finds out we took her,

no more missions, no more food, no more medicine

for any of these people.

What happened to you?

She got knocked to the ground in...

In all that chaos back there.

She hit her head pretty hard.

All right. Next.

You don't think I've ever had to leave anyone behind?

Every mission, I've had to make hard choices

that I regret every single day!

I'm sorry.

Let's not make this last longer than it has to.

I need to separate my interests from Fred.

-I am done with him. -We can talk about that later.

No, we can talk about it right now.

You're pregnant, Serena. Congratulations.

If I don't go back now, Hannah is gone forever!

I'm her mother. It is my job to protect her.

And I failed.

Where, where is she?

How can I tell him that everything

that has happened to her is because of me?

I'm sorry I don't have her.

I'm sorry it's just me.

-I knew it would... -No, no, no, no.

-I'm sorry. -No, no, no, no.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Ms. Osborn.

Ms. Osborn, it's an honor to meet you.

I'm Mark Tuello, and this is Rachel Tapping,

and we're here from the U.S. government

to welcome you onto Canadian soil.

We're very glad to see you.

You're okay, you're here now, and you're safe.

Ms. Osborn,

if you were returned to Gilead,

would you be subject to a danger of torture,

a risk to your life,

or a risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment?

Yes.

And would you be persecuted

based on being a woman?

Yes.

We understand you're here to seek safety

and asylum as a citizen of the United States.

You got this.

My name is June Osborn.

I am a citizen of the United States,

and I seek asylum

in the country of Canada.

Thank you. This way, please.

This will be your home for the next several days

while we ensure your security,

your health, and your well-being.

This is the standard for all high-profile refugees.

Please let us know

if there's anything else you'd like.

We've also procured some clothing for you,

we sent an assistant to Anthropologie.

You said there would be a doctor.

A female doctor. And a female therapist.

Thankfully your wife was cleared of traumatic injury

on the boat, but yes, we will bring in a doctor

and a mental health counselor to assist with this transition.

We tried to get all your favorite foods,

but there's a debit card you can use.

Ms. Osborn, your importance as a witness,

what you achieved in Gilead with Angels' Flight,

what you have seen in D.C. and Chicago

that all makes you inordinately valuable to us.

We'll leave you to rest.

Order room service,

have a nice meal with your husband, take a bath.

And I'll see you tomorrow to ask you some questions

and begin your debrief.

See you soon.

-Bye. -Bye.

This place is a whole lot nicer than the refugee center.

Are you all right?

I'm gonna go.

I'm gonna come back tomorrow with Nichole.

And I'll tell her that you love her.

Thank you for everything.

Yeah, don't mention it.

Make sure you grab some of those,

um, really nice moisturizers from the hotel

and bring 'em home, okay? I love you.

So, what do you wanna do?

You wanna eat some food, have something to drink?

They've got some really fancy water there.

You probably just wanna rest, actually.

You wanna use the bathroom or...

Bathroom? All right. Uh, it's over there.

Just through there.

Um, I'll order some room service,

like the lady said,

and we can just...

Hi.

Hey.

-Did I doze off? -Mmm. It's the next day.

You slept for 17 hours straight.

Jesus.

You, you remember when, um,

when you used to wake up from a long sleep, like, uh,

like you'd really achieved something?

Well, I don't think I ever got to 17 hours.

Nope. That's a milestone.

I guess everything from here on out is a milestone.

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

I can't believe you're here. I just...

It's...

Do you want to come sit?

Oh. Thanks.

-I missed room service. -Mmm. Yeah.

-Did you eat? -No, I... I sent it back.

I couldn't eat for some reason.

Sorry.

What? You got nothing to be sorry about.

Don't you know, like, ever since the boat,

when you were apologizing, that's crazy.

I should be the one that's apologizing.

June...

I tried to get you out.

I did.

And I tried to find Hannah,

and I tried every day.

-And I failed, and I'm sorry. -No, please--

No, I'm so sorry. Look, I'm sorry.

Please, don't--

I don't blame you if you can't forgive me.

'Cause I can't forgive me.

So...

Luke, Hannah knows how much we love her.

-It's been too long for that-- -No, she remembers us,

and she knows how hard we tried to find her.

-How could she? -'Cause I told her.

What?

How?

It was at this lake house.

They let me see her for about 10 minutes.

Is she... How is she?

She's really big.

She was beautiful.

And she was mad.

-She was mad? -Mmm-hmm.

She asked if I tried to find her.

And I said...

I said of course I did,

and that I had tried so hard.

And that so had her daddy.

And then she asked why didn't I try harder.

That sounds like her.

Yeah.

She was our Hannah.

Okay?

And... and so what did you say?

I said it was okay to be mad at me.

And that I wished that I could have been with her,

to protect her.

And that I was so sorry that I couldn't.

But that I would always be her mommy.

And that her daddy and I would always love her

and we would never stop.

You're a good mother.

-You're a really good mother. -No.

-Yeah, you are. -No, I'm not.

You are. You are. You are.

It was a bartender at Jezebel's.

Did you know his name?

Billy. I don't know his last name.

He was Asian, skinny.

He went by Billy.

You didn't have any coordination with anyone from outside Gilead?

Americans in exile? Canadians?

No. None.

It's amazing you managed to get those kids out.

What motivated you to risk your life,

everything, to do such a thing?

It was the only thing I could do.

What do you mean?

I made a promise that they would hurt.

The way we hurt.

Who?

The kidnappers.

The Serenas.
