The Handmaid's Tale (2017) s04e07 Episode Script

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.
VIPs.
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.
I thought about what she would deserve.
What they deserved.
They take everything from you.
You know?
They really do.
You wanna take a break?
- Is that okay?
- Of course.
When is Nichole coming?
I believe your friend Moira
will be bringing her by later
when we're done.
We can be done now, if you want.
Do you want me to take
you home to see her?
It's best to debrief while
your memories are fresh.
They tend to degrade over time
and then, they can become contaminated
with new experiences.
We can debrief later at the embassy.
Right now, I'm gonna take my wife home
and we're gonna go see our daughter.
I understand.
This is home.
Hi, sweetheart.
Let's fix this sock right
for Mommy. Yeah.
Aw, look. Momma's here early.
And we wanted to have her all ready.
June.
Emily.
Shh.
You're so amazing. You know that?
So, so amazing.
Why are you so amazing?
I know why.
'Cause Luke and Moira are raising you.
We're so lucky, aren't we?
I also want you to know
that your daddy and I love you so much.
Your first daddy.
Dear God
thank You for allowing
my pregnancy to reach this week.
I know I have sinned,
and I know I have not always
behaved with light in my heart,
and I am sorry.
Whatever I can do to repent
and redeem myself
in your eyes, I will do it.
Please,
please, Lord, let me
have a healthy baby.
Please do not punish him
for the sins of his mother.
And please give me the strength
to parent him on my own.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop.
Of course you did.
Did you hear everything?
I heard a lot.
Does it satisfy you to hear
someone from Gilead express misgivings?
Does it satisfy you to express them?
You're punchy.
Have you seen her?
Who?
My lawyer told me she was here.
She said it would complicate my case.
Not that you care about that.
I leave the legal stuff to the lawyers.
And what are you?
Just a pot-stirrer?
Your husband has renewed
his request to see you again,
as he has every day
since finding out he's a father.
A sperm donor.
And now that she's here, he's afraid.
I don't want to see him.
Why should I?
He does not want to be fighting
a two-front war
against the both of you.
You likely have more
influence over him now.
If you can get him to cooperate more,
it could help the both of us.
"As newborn babes desire
the sincere milk of the word,
that they may grow thereby
If so be
you have tasted that
the Lord is gracious".
Back off, Fred.
I'm grateful to you for coming.
Nothing has changed between us.
Everything has changed.
The world has tilted on its axis.
God has granted us
a child of our own, Serena.
He wants us to be together.
It's not your place to guess
at the intentions of God.
I want to be a good father to my son.
And a good husband to you,
if you'll let me.
It's too late for that, Fred.
Our pregnancy is proof that it's not.
My pregnancy.
This pregnancy belongs to me
just as much as Offred's
belonged to you.
Guard!
Listen, our legal landscape
has changed as well.
With Offred now in Canada,
we can't be naive about that.
She could put us both away
for the maximum sentence
and prevent you from being
a mother to your son.
And what is there to be done about that?
We need to drop our fight
and team up to help each other.
Team up.
I'll recant my testimony against you.
I'll do whatever it takes to
ensure a good life for our son.
Why wouldn't you?
You know, Emily wants
to know when she can come by.
- She made banana bread.
- Yup.
Rita's gonna bring over
some muffins or something.
- Mmm.
- Folks gotta bake.
Do you want some of Aunt Emily's
banana bread, babycakes?
Banana bread!
- Hmm?
- Hello.
- Oh, hey. Morning.
- Hey!
- You sleep all right?
- Yeah.
Uh, I made pancakes.
- You want some?
- Sure.
Hi, sweetie. Good morning.
You know, I was thinking
maybe I'd go shopping.
- Hmm?
- Get some groceries.
I feel like we're out of everything.
Pancakes are up.
And we can get outta your hair.
Give you guys some time.
And I can take this
little one with me. Yeah?
Yeah, that would be great. Thank you.
Yeah? Of course. Come on, baby girl. Up!
The spoon? Oopah!
Whatcha looking at? You wanna get ready?
Hey, could you wait for me?
You want to go to the supermarket?
You just got here.
Could be overwhelming.
Culture shock.
I've been living in Gilead.
All I want is culture shock.
Yeah.
Maybe we could invite Rita
and Emily over tonight too.
You sure?
Yeah. I'd like to meet Oliver.
Uh-huh.
- They'll be thrilled.
- Great.
You're good?
Yeah. Good.
What happened to potato chips
in the last seven years?
Oh, they made them healthy.
I know, it's a travesty.
Hey, what's up, baby girl?
Yeah, I have got to go
change her. Right now.
And then we have got
to get her home for a nap.
- All right.
- She is like 10 minutes from a breakdown
and you know that is not pretty.
All right, I'm gonna finish up shopping.
Uh, milk, eggs, oatmeal.
- Milk, eggs, oatmeal. Got it.
- Fuck!
- What?
- No diapers!
I got you.
Nice. Love you!
Life with a one-year-old.
I remember.
Uh, I'll get the chips
and meet you at checkout?
I'm gonna need some time to decide.
All right.
We gotta go! We're late.
Come on, come on, come on!
- What? For like-for dinner?
- Let's do it.
Come on. We deserve it.
- Under His eye.
- Under His eye.
Handmaids are to remain
with their walking partners
at all times.
Handmaids always walk in twos, remember?
Remember?
No, no, no, please!
No!
Bye.
All right, you go! Go! Run, run, run!
Do you understand me?
Hannah! Let me out!
Who is that knocking at my door?
Okay, wait. No monkeys
allowed in my house.
Are you a monkey?
- No.
- Then get in here.
Oh, yes, thank you.
I have been waiting for this.
I made two.
One mysteriously disappeared.
Oh, mysteriously?
Yo! Dude. Dude, yo.
How'd you get so big?
I dunno.
Nobody told me
you were gonna be this big.
Come on. Come on in.
So, what do you want?
Uh, can we play the new Fortnite?
No, because I don't play that anymore.
- What?
- All right, we can play it.
Hi.
Hey. This is Oliver.
Hi. Nice to meet you.
Can I get a hug?
Can I get some of that?
Rita.
You made it. Praise
effing be, you made it.
Yeah.
She's been working late a lot.
But, um, it's good,
- she likes her job.
- Yeah?
And it's not just about avoiding me.
Of course she's not avoiding you.
I'm still looking for the right time
to move back into her
- bedroom.
- There's no judgment.
She's so patient and kind and
I just wish she didn't have
to deal with this special case.
We all left that place
totally fucked up about sex.
You found Oona.
And fucked that one up too.
- No, I did. That was my fault.
- No, see that?
Don't bring that
Aunt Lydia shit in here.
This is a Lydia-free zone, okay?
She can't get us here.
None of 'em can.
Do you guys ever wonder
if you deserve this?
If you deserve to be here?
Sometimes I think about what I did.
When I was there.
We did what we had to do.
To survive.
To get out.
But we're here, ladies.
We won.
Mmm-hmm.
They tried to fucking destroy us,
and we won. Yay.
What do you guys know about Serena?
Serena?
Yeah.
Have you heard anything?
What?
I saw her.
Well?
How?
Why?
She wanted my help.
You know her. Total narcissist.
What did she want?
Just tell me.
She's pregnant.
Is it his?
Is it the Commander's?
Yes.
Fuck her.
I don't care.
- Yup, exactly.
- That's right. Fuck her.
She looked awful, right?
- Oh! Oh, she looked like shit.
- Right?
How tight was her bun?
No, it was a rat's nest.
Alcohol, right? We need,
we need some more alcohol.
Oona!
Hey.
I was just dropping something off.
For June.
Um, well, do you want to come in?
Nah, this was just
on my way home from work.
How is work?
Uh, we're not allowed back into Gilead.
Or anywhere outside of Canada, for now.
I'm sorry.
Does it help that you
brought in this, uh,
major intelligence asset?
Probably the reason why
we still have a fighting chance.
It's really nice of you
to bring her a gift.
I mean, seeing as we almost
killed your NGO and all.
Well, I nearly left her
to die in Gilead,
so
guess we're about even?
See ya.
You know, I think the world of you.
I don't want us to be over.
You chose your friend over me,
and my work, and your work.
I know where I stand with you,
and it's fine.
That's not where you stand,
and it's not fine.
Look, I'm not angry.
And I don't want to fight about this.
No, we have to.
We have to have the fight,
'cause if we, if we don't,
then we can't move on.
We can't move on.
You know, I've been moving on
my whole life.
Until I met Odette, and she was
forever until she wasn't, so
I I just feel like maybe
you could be forever.
Maybe.
Okay, you wanna have the fight?
Let's have the fight.
Just not on a night where
I'm freezing my arse off.
Call me.
Did you have fun?
Yeah. Yeah, for sure.
Ooh, sorry.
No. It's okay. It's okay.
- You sure?
- Yeah. It's okay. Yeah.
- Sorry.
- No, no, no. It's fine.
It's fine.
No, sorry. I shouldn't have
No, it's okay, it's okay.
- It's my fault.
- No, no.
So, do you
Thanks for coming.
Any time.
I prayed for this chance.
And I humbly thank the Lord
for your visit.
You would.
You never did give me
credit for anything.
I'll be next door if you need anything.
I believe that the Lord brought you here
so that I could make amends.
I brought myself here,
so that I could tell you
how much I hate you.
You don't deserve
to make amends to anyone.
The only thing that you deserve
is a life full of suffering
and shame.
You have destroyed my life,
my family,
my friends,
my country,
and my child.
There is no one less
worthy of redemption
than you.
I'm sorry.
I am begging for your forgiveness,
and I'm begging for the Lord's mercy
and for His understanding.
Do you know why God made you pregnant?
So that when He kills that baby
inside your womb,
you will feel a fraction of the pain
that you caused us
when you tore our children
from our arms!
Do you understand me?
Do you understand me?
Hey.
Uh. What time is it?
June.
All right. June, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
June, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
Whoo!
Hey, you wanna go and see Mommy?
There you go.
Who's that?
She's pathological.
She's a sociopath.
She's toxic. And abusive.
She's a monster.
And, by the way, a consummate actress.
What do you think drives her?
Hatred. And rage.
And underneath all of that,
there's nothing but pure misery.
I need you, Fred.
And she'll do anything
not to feel that way.
Anything to feel okay.
Praise be His mercy.
Even just for a second.
We got tri-dextrous here!
She'll do anything
to get what she wants.
Lie to you.
Nice to meet you!
Yeah. He crazy.
Hurt you.
Rape you.
So, if you feel yourself
getting sucked in by her
run.
Run for your life.
