The Handmaid's Tale

Previously on The Handmaid's Tale...

She's not gonna be a wife. That is not fucking happening.

How am I supposed to keep my baby girl safe from here?

We want you in Toronto.

To best represent our sacred republic.

Mrs. Waterford, you are officially released

from the custody of the American government.

You'll be restricted to Gilead-affiliated properties

in accordance with your lack of diplomatic status.

Building codes.

I've found 15 violations that could get this place condemned.

Or just help us get Hannah back.

Agnes is happy. I do wonder why you never returned to Gilead

to save your daughter.

I mean, there were risks, of course.

Which your wife took.

You stay away from my family.

Or the next time I see you,

I'm gonna fucking kill you myself.

She's not gonna pull a fuckin' Gilead bullshit here!

- Come on. We gotta go. - Where are we supposed to go?

We're working on that, but it's not safe here.

Stay back!

I didn't do it this time.

But I am not going to promise that I won't do it next time.

I can't promise I won't either.

I guess we'll just have to trust each other.

For those who are truly righteous,

He sometimes sends a refuge.

Mrs. Waterford.

I'm Mrs. Ryan Wheeler.

Welcome to our home.

Hello?

Yes?

What?

Yes.

What?

And Lily didn't give you any more details?

No.

Just that a Guardian was coming across

with information about Wife Schools.

Maybe Hannah. We need to get there.

He might know where she is.

These assholes are back?

Jesus.

Go home, Yankees! We don't need your shit here!

Canada is for Canadians, you motherfuckers!

Those fucking assholes.

Get the fuck out of our country!

Go home, Yankees!

Blessed day.

Good morning, Mrs. Waterford. Lovely day today.

Yes, it is. It truly is.

Good morning, Mrs. Waterford.

Blessed day, Ezra.

Um, these were left for you by a well-wisher.

Oh, thank you.

Uh, is, um, is Mr. Wheeler around?

I'd like the chance to meet him.

To thank him for his support and generosity.

Yes. Um...

He's usually pretty busy.

But, uh, I'll check.

Great. I appreciate it. Thank you.

Blessed day, Mrs. Waterford. How did you sleep?

Blessed day. Oh, it was lovely, thank you.

You don't have to keep making these wonderful feasts for me.

I-I, you know, something simple is fine.

For the both of us.

Well. I am not about to let Serena Joy Waterford

go wanting in my home.

Please. Our home is your home.

Thank you. You're... You're too kind.

You've already done so much.

I'm afraid that we haven't done enough, Mr. Wheeler and I.

Gilead feels so far away, even in our prayers.

When I see your strength and faith,

I see why God put His divine light in you.

Giving you a refuge is the very least we could do.

Getting you away from those awful people.

Well, we always knew there would be some

who would resist our message.

Selfish, small-minded people. That's what they are.

Well, um, we will have that Center on track in no time.

I thought that they were shutting it down indefinitely.

We can't let a few simple rules get in the way of God's will.

Can we?

Him, too.

You all should hear.

Why, what's going on?

Our friendly's right there in No Man's Land,

but he can't get across.

Canadian Border Patrol's really stepped up,

he doesn't wanna risk getting caught.

Canada wants us out of here.

They're making it really fucking clear

that we've worn out our welcome.

So that's just it? You're done?

We're never fucking done fighting.

There are other places for us to go setup.

But I'm sorry you made this trip for nothing.

He just put up the flag.

If he'd done it earlier, I'd have called it off.

I'm going across.

What?

Look, everything we want to know about Hannah

is just there.

Where she is, how to find her.

I'm-- I'm not gonna go home and watch Hannah

turn up on TV again with Serena.

I'm not... I'm not doing it. I'm going.

I'm going.

Fine.

I can let someone know you're coming.

All right.

We've got a meeting spot in No Man's Land we use.

Getting there from here shouldn't be too hard.

If you're lucky.

I'm going with you.

- June... - You're not going alone, so...

I'm going.

Couldn't stuff any more in these bags.

Might be our last exchange of supplies

with Gilead for a while.

Here.

- Rita's okay, right? - Yeah, she's okay.

Nichole's sleeping. I told her we'd be back soon.

Okay. You go across the scrub land.

No Man's Land is right there.

You should get to the meeting spot by morning.

I've marked the best trail on the map.

You should be able to avoid any patrols.

It'll lead you right to the rendezvous spot and back.

And who are we meeting?

No names. Names are dangerous.

Look for the other flag. That's the meeting spot.

You got the code word?

"Beret."

You guys got this.

Come here.

You should get going. It'll be dark soon.

Just make sure you come back.

- Go with Mommy. - What about you?

No, no, it's all right. You go. Go! Run, run, run!

Run, run!

Hey. You need to take a break?

Please! Just don't take her!

No, no.

Really-- Just think about-- I need to take a break.

I could do with a break.

I'm okay. Really. Come on, we have to go.

June...

They'll follow the map.

They'll be fine.

Here.

What's the deal with those two?

Mm...

They don't quit.

Through all the shit they've been through, they just...

keep fighting for each other.

That's really nice.

Having someone like that.

Yeah.

So, where are you guys going next?

Maine?

Montreal?

- Maybe. - Detroit?

- Detroit? - Yeah.

I wouldn't even go there before!

Why not?

What's in Detroit?

Oh! Nah, fuck Detroit.

- There's so many better-- - Fuck Detroit!

There's so many better cities!

I'm from Detroit.

Oh! Are you serious?

Yeah!

Oh, shit. Oh, shit.

Oh, my God.

Is... Is that, uh... Is that Gilead?

Gilead doesn't use words.

Come on.

Luke, come on.

Oh, my God.

They're waiting for you.

- Thank you. - Mm-hm.

Ladies.

Mrs. Serena Joy Waterford.

- Blessed day. - Praise be.

- Praise be. - Praise be.

I've been trying for so long. So long.

I know, Abbie. I know. We all have.

But seeing Mrs. Waterford gives me hope.

It strengthens my faith.

Oh! He just kicked.

May I?

Please, yes.

- May I? - Please.

It's such a miracle.

Such a blessing.
