The Handmaid's Tale

Previously on The Handmaid's Tale...

Hello there.

Did you try to find me? I waited for you.

I know. And I'm so sorry I couldn't be there for you.

Hannah. Her name is Agnes now.

It's okay. I have new parents, now.

Hey, Waterford! Waterford, you fucking piece of shit!

And, you are? Luke Bankole.

You're gonna remember my face 'cause I'm gonna remember yours.

He's a serial rapist!

You're not gonna do anything about it.

There's protests planned. I encourage you to speak out.

Not Ruby, asshole.

She has no contact with the baby.

And she pumps in her room.

You cannot give up. You're gonna see your son again.

I'm not his mother anymore. Of course, you are.

At least your son is in Canada. He's free! With your wife!

Commander Lawrence is a very brilliant, very important man.

He is considered the architect of Gilead's economy.

I'm wondering why such an important, brilliant man

would take in such a shitty Handmaid.

He did something terrible.

The Colonies! He came up with the whole thing.

You are such a fucking idiot.

When did you become such a bitch?

It is our duty to ensure that the children of Gilead live by the laws of Scripture.

That our sons and daughters should be taught to read it.

Fred! Stop! Stop it!

I tried.

We value privacy in this house. Do you understand?

God has called me to a higher purpose.

You don't believe that?

I will not let you grow up in this place.

I'm gonna get you out of here. I promise.

We can get you out. You and the baby, but you have to go right now!

Who's "we"? Friends.

Marthas. Go! Go!

My child is missing!

It's too dangerous out there. We'll stay here.

Listen to me. She cannot grow up here.

Holly, this is your sister.

You're gonna meet her one day.

Emily? What is happening?

I'm getting myself in deep shit.

You're getting out of Gilead. Don't get caught!

Call her Nichole.

June!

Please don't take her! No! Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy?

Please, God, watch over her.

Protect her.

Because this isn't the place with the still waters and green pastures,

if you haven't noticed.

This is the valley of death.

And there's a fuck-ton of evil to fear.

Please. Get her the hell out of here.

if she gets out, will she remember me? Will she know that I gave her away?

I have reasons.

There are always reasons.

I'm sorry, baby girl.

Mom's got work.

Fuck! Shit.

Are you insane?

You didn't get in the truck.

Thoughts?

You know what, get in the car.

We can catch 'em before they cross the border. Come on.

Do you know Commander Mackenzie?

He has a daughter.

Her name is Agnes.

I need you to take me there, and then we can head north.

A daughter?

I can't leave without her.

You can.

I won't.

You helped Emily.

I liked Emily.

They could put you on the wall.

Even a Commander.

Spunky.

I'll take you to Mackenzie.

Mrs. Waterford?

Serena, Praise be.

Everyone has lost their minds.

Go to my office. Call 911.

Let her pass, son. This has gone far enough.

We should give her more time...

To get away.

What did you do?

I did what was best for my child.

Praise be.

Oh, my God.

Where is she? Upstairs in her bed.

And the Mackenzies?

The Commander's away for work. Mistress is sleeping.

She goes up early.

Please! Be careful.

All units report to stations at the perimeter.

Copy.

Baby, I'm here.

I am not ever going to leave you.

And I love you. I love you so much.

I am always here.

I love you.

Moving in. Moving in.

Don't scare her.

Jonathan.

- Ma'am. MRS. - Bring her inside, please?

Yes, Ma'am.

Is she okay, Mrs. Mackenzie?

She slept through it all.

Praise be. Praise be.

MRS. - Please.

This has to stop.

You brought our child into the world.

The Commander and I bless you for that, God knows.

She had nightmares for weeks after the summer house.

Of course, she told me.

I'm her mother.

You're being cruel. Confusing her like this.

I'm confusing her?

Take her home.

What's she like?

She's very happy.

She's a healthy, blessed child.

She's thriving.

Jonathan.

She's fine.

She's amazing.

She likes to sew,

but she's not very good at it.

Bless her efforts.

She's actually quite a good cook.

Luke cooks.

Her father.

He's good at it, too.

She wants a dog. Oh.

She's allergic.

She says she'll get the shots.

- She won't stick to it. - No.

She hates shots.

Yeah. Maybe, a Goldendoodle. I don't know.

Something hypoallergenic.

Yeah.

The Commander doesn't love the idea, but she's working on him.

She's very good at that.
