The Handmaid's Tale

Previously on The Handmaid's Tale...

I got you out of jail. I'm still working on expediting your hearing.

- How long's that gonna take? - Three, maybe four months.

I'm not gonna sit here and wait. All right? I gotta do something.

- I might visit New Bethlehem. - Rita, no.

They have a lead on my sister.

Luke and Moira, they've gotten stuck behind Gilead patrols in No Man's Land.

We've got all the names, all right? Stop obsessing.

I just can't wait for our guys to blow their fucking heads off.

Any Guardians, let me handle it.

In New Bethlehem, our women are getting pregnant,

and our children are thriving!

And that is not something that any of you can say on behalf of your countries.

I would love to bend your ear a little more

about New Bethlehem's blessed potential.

I will certainly enjoy letting you try.

I will get you out of this terrible place!

I was told you'd be rewarded for your service.

They lied to you.

We gave her a chance, and we're done with her.

You heard Mrs. Lawrence. It's not happening.

She's an old-school Gilead wife. She's not Serena Waterford.

Mrs. Waterford?

June?

Oh, my God. You're okay. You're okay.

- We should get outta here. - Do you realize that we always do this?

- Do what? - The whole goodbye thing?

- What should we say instead? - How 'bout "see you later"?

Okay. See you later.

Okay, there's one done.

Okay, it's coming in about six kilos.

- You got a signal there? - It's very weak.

...this foundation used to be glorified sand.

- What does that mean? - That means these buildings are unstable.

- Hey. Mark's on his way up. - Can we...

- I just need a few-- - Oh, yeah, sorry.

- Just in the middle of things. - Yeah.

Thanks. All right, so look, anywhere between here and here.

That is gonna be the blast radius, that's gonna give us maximum impact.

- Awesome, man. Thank you. - All right.

Is this about where you're placing those bombs?

Yeah. We're gonna blow some shit up.

What are your targets?

Comms tower, ammunition warehouse,

and then we're gonna hit the Federal building.

How are you gonna get the bombs in?

There is this new trade route that goes from New Bethlehem right into Gilead.

It is a lot less secure,

and there's a lot more traffic going in and out.

So, you know, we'll just use that to get the munitions in, then we just roll in.

Right, well, I hope it... I hope it all works out.

- Hey. June, Luke. - Hey.

Good morning.

- Morning. - Hey.

I've got good news.

Your case was dismissed.

Oh, my God.

Yeah!

We traded the intel you got with the Canadians,

they're very grateful.

They want those Commanders gone too, unofficially.

So that, plus your self-defense case...

- They dropped the charges? - Yeah, congratulations.

You're officially being deported. Free to go.

That's amazing.

It's good.

I'll work on a flight for you to Alaska.

Get you all out of here as soon as possible.

- Thank you, Mark. Really. - Yeah, of course.

Holly's gotten so big.

She's gonna be so excited to see you.

- Luke. Can we steal you for a second? - What's up?

We just got the grid plan for the South End.

- Can you take a look? - Really? All right. Great.

- This will just be a little while. - Yeah, yeah.

Hello.

You got something for me?

Is it sticky?

Impressive.

I can see you've been influenced by Helen Frankenthaler.

My wife would be very impressed.

Angela!

My real wife.

Out! Out!

- He has a very big day ahead of him. - Come along.

It was a long time coming.

The Wives are getting together early

because they've very excited to show off their new jewelry from Paris,

thanks to you.

I live to serve.

Don't you look nice.

You know what they say about men in uniform.

What?

What do they say about men in uniform?

They're gonna expect things from you now, you know.

I can handle whatever the brain trust throws at me.

Well, it's not just golf and cocktail parties anymore.

The High Commanders... share a very specific set of priorities.

I know their priorities.

They...

derive their sense of power from their virility.

Power will come from reform.

They know I'm their man.

Whatever you say.

Virility.

Hey. Do you know where Moira is? She has to get ready.

Yeah, she's around.

Look, I... I should've...

I was thinking I should've told you where I was, what I was doing,

that I was here working with Mayday.

- Oh, it's okay. - Yeah.

Really, I'm just happy you both are okay.

Yeah, but what I'm saying is that I'm sorry

because I didn't want you to worry.

- Right, well, that backfired. - That was not my fault, all right?

Those patrols were not supposed to be there.

We would've made our way outta there, no problem.

I know, but that is the problem.

There's always something you can't predict.

Can... can you just... Sorry. Just for a sec.

I'm trying to tell you something, all right?

I'm supposed to drive in and deliver the bombs.

I'm gonna stay and I'm gonna do that.

You don't think I want to see those Commanders dead?

- You don't think I want to hurt Gilead? - Yeah, you have. Many times.

This is my turn.

These people, they're not professionals.

They don't know what they're doing,

and they're gonna go up against Gilead.

Gilead soldiers, Guardians, and... and Eyes.

It's just... it's too...

It's too dangerous. Okay?

Trust me.

Holly needs us, and my mom needs us.

And we... we have to go back and we have to build a life together.

Okay?

Please?

They decrypted the intel that we brought back,

so I'm gonna go check on that.

- 'Kay. - All right.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

I love you.

Yeah. Love you.

- Check your papers, please. - I'm here!

- Thank you. Go ahead. - I can't believe it!

- Dad! Dad! - Your papers, ma'am.

- Jules! - Can't believe you made it!

Rita. It's so good to see you.

Thank you again for today.

Of course. It's the least I could do.

- How was the bus ride? - It was fine, thank you.

She will be here.

She'll be here.

She probably got held up. It's a lot of red tape.

These reunions have become very popular.

I had to pull a lot of strings to make it happen, and Nick did too.

I know Nick really wants to see you also.

Have you given any more thought to resettling here?

Gina!

Gina! My baby.

Oh, Gina.

Oh, my baby.

Hi.

I'm sorry. Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

- I heard they made you a Martha. - They did. Yeah, yeah.

That's okay. That's okay. I got out.

And I tried to find you. I swear to God I tried to find you so hard--

I'm just happy you're alive.

I'm here.

Hey, everybody, can I get your ears?

So, the moment we've all been waiting for.

Thanks to our special guest June Osborn, Luke and Moira got home safe.

Luke and Moira, everybody. Rockstars.

Thanks to them,

we've confirmed the names of the Commanders who shot down our planes

and where they'll be most vulnerable.

And those fucking War Hawks will not see us coming.

As to where to target the bastards,

for those of you who chose the country club,

you... picked a loser.

If you said Commander HQ or the golf course...

you also did not win.

But if you said Jezebels, you're ten bucks richer, friend.

- Don't spend it all in one place. - What are they doing at Jezebels?

We're killing Commanders.

They'll be distracted, they'll be boozing it up in the penthouse.

So, that's where we'll send our sharpshooters when they arrive next week.

First, we kill the Commanders at Jezebels,

then our bombs go off, and the military rolls in.

You're not going to make it past the first step.

Sorry. That's your whole plan? You're not gonna get past the first step.

What are you gonna do? Roll in, guns blazing?

What would you suggest, bayonets?

Have you considered poison?

Yeah, that's worked in the past.

I know, I was there.

But everything at Jezebels is taste-tested now.

Really?

What about the women? If you don't tell them that you're coming,
