Hello, girls. Relax.

Relax. I'm Aunt Lydia.

Are you all well?

Come on, I want you to say,

"We're very well, Aunt Lydia."

So, are you well?

Very well, Aunt Lydia.

That's great,

because you are well.

You're healthy,

you're free from infections...

and you're the only ones

whose tests are positive.

You're the lucky ones.

We're the lucky ones.

Amen.

You're going to be Handmaids.

You're going to serve God

and your country.

All right, girls.

Into the bus. Let's go.

[ Engine starts ]

How long were you in?

I'm not sure.

What'd you do,

and how'd they get you?

We tried to cross the border.

All right, sisters.

GUARD:

Move it.

WOMAN:
Move it!

Get on that bus. Move it!

Go on, sisters.

You can't make me

break my vows!

Get on that bus. Quiet.

Don't, please!

# Oh, God from whom

all blessings flow #

# Hear us, your daughters

here below #

# They house the vessels

of the seed #

# Of those who come

to us in need #

# Remove our anger,

cleanse our will #

# And leave us empty

to refill #

Let us pray.

Oh, God, make us fruitful.

ALL:

Oh, God, make us fruitful.

Stop it! Why do you think

God made you a woman?

[ Whistle blowing ]

You can't...

Mortify my flesh

that I may be multiplied.

ALL:
Mortify my flesh

that I may be multiplied.

- Amen.

- My God!

ALL:
Amen.

Good night, girls.

I am Joanna.

I'm Susan.

My name is Kathleen.

I'm Cara.

I am Julie.

GIRL:
Mommy.

Mommy?

Mommy!

Eat it, and you'll like it.

That's enough!

You're getting the best.

There's a war on, you know.

The air got too full once

of chemicals and radiation.

Next.

AUNT LYDIA:
The rain water

swarmed with toxic molecules.

Sit.

These poisons flowed into the rivers,

crept into people.

Place your right arm

in the sleeve.

AUNT LYDIA:

The result, sterility.

Remove your arm.

Today, only one out of

a hundred women...

can still bear children,

and some women stopped.
