00:01Previously on The Mermaid's Tale
00:05If only you'd been more patient.
00:06That's the thing about state-sanctioned rape.
00:09Patience is not an option.
00:10So utter carnage instead.
00:12We gather to condemn these detestable cowards
00:16who murdered God's most noble servants.
00:19This is your fault then, Lydia.
00:21Dear Lord, have mercy for what they've done.
00:24For they have been prisoners of godless men!
00:27This is the beginning of the end.
00:30Gilead shall endure.
00:32Rise up! Fight for your freedom!
00:35Don't let the bastards grind you down!
00:38Go! Go! Go! Go!
00:45Dude!
00:54Where are you taking us?
00:56Someplace safe.
00:57We've got a small foothold in the city
00:59but we need to find those extremist commanders,
01:01the ones who survived and finished the job.
01:03I need to know where the commanders are who survived.
01:05Don't you see?
01:06Gilead is just going to keep sending more and more men just like them.
01:10They're flying to D.C. tonight.
01:14You need to end this brazen assault.
01:16End her.
01:18It's a bomb, I presume?
01:20I'll try not to fuck this up.
01:22Commander Lawrence!
01:23We need a united front in D.C.
01:25I'm pleased you're joining us.
01:27I would take it all back.
01:28I'd let the whole fucking human race just die out
01:31just so I wouldn't have Gilead on my conscience.
01:33So do something.
01:37I guess you decided to join the winners.
01:39You told me to give all this up.
01:41You should have listened to her.
01:59Boston is free.
02:02The Gilead occupation is over.
02:06We won.
02:08Here at least.
02:10Boston is America again.
02:13Praise fucking me.
02:16By the time the Marines landed in Southie,
02:18the fighting was almost over.
02:20Gilead had already started pulling out of the city,
02:23and then it only took 19 days.
02:26But this is just the beginning.
02:28First, Massachusetts is liberated,
02:30then New York.
02:32West, across Ohio,
02:34and then East.
02:36It's all over.
02:38It's over.
02:40It's over.
02:43West, across Ohio,
02:45Kansas.
02:50Someday, Colorado.
02:52And then Hannah.
03:12Yeah!
03:34Hey.
03:36Have you heard anything about Janine?
03:38No.
03:42Come on.
04:12Hey.
04:14Have you heard anything about Janine?
04:16No.
04:18Come on.
04:20Hey.
04:22Have you heard anything about Janine?
04:24No.
04:26Come on.
04:28Hey.
04:30Have you heard anything about Janine?
04:32No.
04:34Come on.
04:36Hey.
04:38Have you heard anything about Janine?
04:40No.
04:52Gilead tried to fight,
04:55but they had no leaders.
04:59The Boston commanders were all dead
05:02before the battle even started.
05:05God always requires a sacrifice.
05:16Hey, guys, guys, come on.
05:18Load up the trucks. We gotta go.
05:20We need ammo and weapons in every truck.
05:22Don't bunch them up, all right?
05:24Hey, are you okay?
05:26Yeah.
05:28I saw Rita and Moira at the fire.
05:30They're celebrating now.
05:32Excellent.
05:34Yeah, they burned it.
05:36Hey, you haven't slept in days.
05:38You should go rest.
05:40But I'm not tired.
05:42No, I'm not tired.
05:44Yeah, I should be.
05:46It's weird.
05:48It's weird.
05:50It's weird.
05:52No, I'm not tired.
05:54Yeah, I should be. It's weird.
05:56Hey, you know what?
05:58We got the Union guys.
06:00Yeah, we got some Boston City electrical workers.
06:02We're gonna take them down to the power plant,
06:04get the lights back on.
06:06Good.
06:08You're too busy to be tired.
06:10Well, we're gonna get the electricals up
06:12and then power back on.
06:14And then hopefully
06:16we can get Logan up and running.
06:18That means flights from Alaska.
06:20We'll get Holly and your mom down here.
06:22That would be amazing.
06:24Yeah.
06:26What about New York?
06:28Is that where Mayday is going next?
06:30Yeah, there's murmurs of it.
06:32Like, I've started making contacts
06:34with Mayday on the ground there,
06:36but, you know, I don't know. We'll see.
06:40It's not Colorado, though, right?
06:42Listen.
06:44The way we get Hannah back
06:46is we take down Gilead
06:48one place at a time.
06:54I got to go.
07:12I got to go.
07:14I got to go.
07:16I got to go.
07:42Hey.
07:44Any news?
07:46There's been a big shuffle in Gilead command.
07:48What does that have to do with Hannah?
07:50Most of the Western District
07:52commanders have been promoted,
07:54including McKenzie.
07:56He's been reassigned to D.C.
07:58He's moving there with his wife
08:00and your daughter.
08:10Okay.
08:12We're 2,000 miles closer.
08:14I know that isn't enough,
08:16but it's a kind of progress.
08:20In any case,
08:22you are off-duty.
08:24You need to get some rest.
08:28What are you...
08:30What are you doing
08:32to find Janine?
08:34These are our people
08:36still trapped in Gilead,
08:38not leaving any of them behind.
08:40The eyes have her?
08:42Is she... Is she dead?
08:44We don't know.
08:46I'm sorry.
08:52May God help her.
08:56We're Aunt Lydia.
08:58We've been in contact with her.
09:02She was released by the eyes.
09:04She's finding out what she can about Janine.
09:06Jesus.
09:08Fucking nightlives.
09:10She's a survivor.
09:12I may know something more about Janine
09:14in a few hours, if you want to stay close.
09:16Thanks.
09:20You look like shit, Mark.
09:22You should get some sleep.
09:24Thanks.
09:26I'm not a great sleeper.
09:28No?
09:30No.
09:34My son lives in
09:36Hawaii
09:38with my ex-wife.
09:42And when I close my eyes, I see
09:44them
09:48when I get back to work.
09:52This is the best thing
09:54I can do for him.
09:58Bring down Gilead
10:00so he doesn't have to do it.
10:06May God speed the days
10:10so we both can get some rest.
10:36I love you.
11:06I love you.
11:36Okay.
11:38Can I have some?
11:44Okay, not too much of that, okay?
11:46Okay.
11:48Okay.
11:52Sweetie, it's gonna make your stomach hurt.
11:54Okay?
11:56Thank you, banana.
12:00Hi.
12:02Can I get five adult and five kids, please?
12:10Hannah?
12:14Hannah?
12:16Hannah?
12:18Sweetie?
12:20Hannah?
12:22Hannah?
12:24Excuse me, have you seen the little girl?
12:26Um, no?
12:28Hannah?
12:30Sweetie?
12:32Hannah?
12:34Hannah, come here.
12:36Hi.
12:40Are you okay?
12:42Are you okay? Where'd you go?
12:44He lost me.
12:46What? No, no, no.
12:48No, no.
12:50Mommy's always come back, remember?
12:52Mommy's always come back.
13:02Okay.
13:24Let's see.
13:26I can find you something new
13:28because you're getting to be such a big boy now, huh?
13:32Serena?
13:34Hey.
13:38Praise be His mercy.
13:42Congratulations on your victory.
13:46None of it would have happened without you.
13:48Yes.
13:50I am become death,
13:52a destroyer of worlds.
13:56Guess I've helped Boston fall twice now.
14:02Hi.
14:08Can I help you?
14:10Uh, yes, yes.
14:12Come on over, honey.
14:14Hi.
14:22I am very sorry about Nick.
14:28May his memory be a blessing
14:30to you always.
14:34Nick reaped what he sowed.
14:40He led a violent and
14:44dishonest life.
14:46You know,
14:48if he ever thought he had a real choice,
14:50he would have chosen you.
15:00Yeah.
15:08Should we see what we have here?
15:10Let's see.
15:12Ooh, what is this?
15:16Ah, it's permanent.
15:18And I think it's your size.
15:20It is a sign from God.
15:24Signs of the realm of witches.
15:26Well,
15:28we're not in Gilead anymore.
15:32You know, I can never go back.
15:34Perfect.
15:36Too many people want me dead.
15:38Canada won't give me a passport.
15:40And neither will the EU,
15:42so, uh,
15:44looks like I'm just nobody.
15:48You're his mother.
15:50Just be that.
15:52Kiss me, Mom.
15:54Right?
15:56Right?
15:58Right?
16:00Serena,
16:02now, please.
16:06Hey, two more.
16:08Where are we going?
16:10EU and refugee camp,
16:12for now.
16:14Uh, okay.
16:16Um, I don't have any
16:18passports yet for me.
16:20No, I know. I'm working on a solution.
16:22So what does that mean
16:24for me and my son?
16:26It means you should try not to worry.
16:30Right.
16:34So my fate is
16:36completely in your hands.
16:38I'll find you.
16:50Okay.
16:56May God bless you.
16:58Yeah, okay.
17:00All right.
17:02Here we go.
17:04Okay.
17:06June, um,
17:08when I recall
17:10some of the things that were done to you
17:12and...
17:14the things that I did
17:16and that I forced you to do,
17:18I'm ashamed.
17:22You should be.
17:26Yes.
17:28And I'm sorry. And if words mean anything at all,
17:30I am sorry.
17:44I forgive you,
17:46Serena.
17:50I do.
18:02God bless you, June.
18:06Go in grace, Serena.
18:34That was very generous of you.
18:36You have to start somewhere, right?
18:42Your sector opened up.
18:46Your old neighborhood.
18:50If you have trouble at the checkpoints,
18:52use my name.
18:56Captain Torello?
19:00Miss Commander, actually.
19:16Go!
19:42This used to be an ice cream place.
19:44They had this amazing salted caramel.
19:48It'd be cool if they reopened, wouldn't it?
19:52Must have been different.
19:56My fucking God.
19:58That's blasphemy.
20:10Nice little shit.
20:14Yeah.
20:28So you weren't in Boston.
20:30Bridgeport.
20:32It's a hot spot of rebellion for some reason.
20:34Really good pizza, too.
20:36Yeah.
20:38They do.
20:40Raise V.
20:42My brother was a friend.
20:44For how long?
20:46Seven months.
20:48But it was fairly safe,
20:50and eventually I was able to call still,
20:52so that was wonderful.
20:54We had some things to work through.
20:56But I FaceTimed Oliver
20:58on his birthday.
21:00It was only for a minute,
21:02but that was amazing.
21:04And he's getting really handsome,
21:06so we're in a lot of trouble.
21:08So you weren't...
21:10You weren't just gone.
21:12Gone from their lives?
21:14Of course not.
21:16They're the reason I'm fighting.
21:20I guess I just...
21:22I thought when
21:24you went back in that you
21:26sort of left them.
21:30I don't know if that's the way
21:32things work in the world.
21:34I mean, whatever choice
21:36we make or try to make,
21:38some things stay true.
21:40I love still and Oliver.
21:42We're a family.
21:48They strung up
21:50all the guardians.
21:52Rage is a gift from God.
21:54It's meant to be shared
21:56with the most deserving.
21:58Yeah, and then what?
22:00They still have Anna.
22:02And it doesn't matter
22:04what way I get, it doesn't matter
22:06how unfair it is.
22:08They stole my life.
22:12And I want it all
22:14back the way it was supposed to be.
22:18But that's fucking pointless.
22:22Some things are impossible.
22:24I don't know.
22:26We are both alive
22:28to see this.
22:30Together.
22:34I'm thinking of adjusting
22:36my concept of the impossible.
23:05I've been dreaming of Boston.
23:07Not Boston now.
23:09I'm...
23:11not Boston from before.
23:13It's another Boston.
23:15It's the way things would be
23:17if there was never a Gilead.
23:34I took it down.
23:38I climbed a mountain
23:40and I turned around.
23:43And I saw my reflection
23:46in the snow-covered hills
23:49till the landslide
23:51brought me down.
23:55Oh, mirror in the sky,
23:58what is love?
24:01Can a child within my heart
24:04rise above?
24:07Can I sail through
24:09the changing ocean tides?
24:13Can I handle
24:15the seasons of my life?
24:31Well, I've been afraid
24:34of changing
24:36cause I've built
24:38my life around you.
24:43But time makes you bolder
24:46even children get older
24:49and I'm getting older too.
25:00guitar solo
25:19Well, I've been afraid
25:22of changing
25:24cause I've built
25:26my life around you.
25:31But time makes you bolder
25:34even children get older
25:37and I'm getting older too.
25:43Oh, I'm getting older too.
25:49Oh, take my love
25:52and take it down.
25:55Ah-ha, climb a mountain
25:58and turn around.
26:01And if you see my reflection
26:04in the snow-covered hills
26:07will the landslide
26:09bring you down?
26:13And if you see my reflection
26:16in the snow-covered hills
26:20will the landslide
26:22bring you down?
26:25Oh, the landslide
26:28bring you down.
26:41Ms. Hosmer, Ms. Hosmer,
26:44I need you to come with me
26:45right now.
26:46It's urgent, ma'am.
26:50car engine roars
27:09Good evening.
27:10Sorry about the hour.
27:12What happened?
27:14We need a familiar face.
27:16Where are we?
27:18Millerville, Mass.
27:20Near the old Rhode Island line.
27:22It's the new border with Gilead.
27:30Who is it?
27:49car engine roars
27:58We need medical.
28:00Help me, I can't breathe.
28:02It's okay, it's okay.
28:04It's okay.
28:06It's okay.
28:08You're okay.
28:10Hi.
28:11Hi.
28:12Hi.
28:13Penny.
28:14Hi.
28:15Hi.
28:16It's okay.
28:17It's okay.
28:19It's okay.
28:21You're okay.
28:31Okay.
28:32Okay.
28:36Okay, I want you to be safe.
28:39That's the most important thing.
28:41Right?
28:43I love you.
28:46I love you.
28:53Janine.
28:57Look who's here.
29:04Hi.
29:10Hi.
29:12Hi.
29:14Hi.
29:18Hi, sweetheart.
29:45Come on.
29:47Come on.
30:15Take good care of our Janine, please.
30:18And Charlotte.
30:20I will.
30:27Lydia.
30:45Blessed is the woman who does not walk in stride with the wicked.
30:53Under his eye, dear.
31:14I love you.
31:32Next bus from Logan with passengers from Alaska
31:35is arriving in less than one minute.
31:39Dad!
31:42Hi, guys. Hi.
31:44Hi.
32:00There she is.
32:08Holly.
32:33I know.
32:35Jet lag sucks, doesn't it?
32:39You'll be all better tomorrow, okay?
32:44And you're safe.
32:47It's my job to keep you safe, you know that?
32:52You and your sister.
32:58And I have another job, too, I think.
33:02I think I have to do my best...
33:08to help keep all the little girls in Gilead safe, too.
33:14If I can.
33:18I have to try.
33:21And in order to do that, I'm gonna have to leave you again, okay?
33:32Because...
33:34I need you to be safe.
33:36And where I'm going, you won't be.
33:40So...
33:43you're gonna have to stay with Grandma just a little while longer.
33:47All right?
33:54I'm sorry.
33:57I'm sorry.
34:03But you know what?
34:06Can I tell you something?
34:11You don't have to be near Mommy in order to feel her love.
34:19It'll find you, no matter where you are.
34:26Mm-mm.
34:31No matter where you are.
34:37It'll find you.
34:56Hey.
34:58Can you watch her?
34:59Yeah, I got her.
35:01Okay.
35:25Is that okay?
35:28If you watch her for a little bit longer?
35:34How much longer is a little longer?
35:40I'm not sure yet.
35:47But who will keep you safe?
35:52Mom.
35:54Mom, it's...
35:57That's my job.
36:00I know.
36:05But the thing is, Mom...
36:09I'm not safe.
36:12And neither are you.
36:16And they are never going to stop coming for us.
36:24And even when we're gone,
36:28they're going to come for our children.
36:31And our grandchildren.
36:34Fighting may not get us everything,
36:37but we don't have a choice.
36:39Because not fighting is what got us Gilead in the first place.
36:45And Gilead doesn't need to be beaten.
36:49It needs to be broken.
36:52Can't someone else break them?
36:56You taught me how to fight.
37:02You were there, you were out almost every night.
37:06At protests and meetings and...
37:11You taught me.
37:17And you know me.
37:21Right? I mean, you know me pretty well.
37:26And you know I'm not going to give up.
37:32And I think I'm not going to give up.
37:36I think I'm just getting to know you.
37:42I see the amazing woman you are now.
37:57Thanks, Mom.
38:00Thanks, Mom.
38:08Mom, sometimes I don't know if I'm doing a very good job.
38:17As a mom, you know?
38:19Oh, shh, that's bullshit, sweetheart.
38:22You're a great mother.
38:26And I make sure she knows that.
38:29I tell her your whole story.
38:32How you saved so many women.
38:35How you escaped.
38:38How you survived.
38:41She should know that her mother is a warrior.
38:47June, you should write a book.
38:56It's not a very good story, Mom.
39:02There is so much violence and fear.
39:10And loss.
39:12No, sweetheart. It's about never giving up.
39:16It isn't a story for the people who haven't lost anyone.
39:19They don't need this story.
39:21This is a story for people who may never find their babies.
39:26The people who will never, ever give up trying.

39:39And our Hannah.
39:41Write it for your daughters, June.

40:22It's a great job, man. Excellent.
40:26You got the power on.
40:29Yeah, we did.
40:32Turning lights on and heat for hundreds of thousands of people.
40:36You know, NBD, no big deal.
40:39I underestimated you.
40:43You did.
40:46Sorry.
40:49We're so...
40:51We're so different now.
40:53Yeah.
40:55Both of us.
40:57It's inevitable that we're going to make mistakes, and...
41:05We don't know each other like we did before.
41:08Yeah.
41:10I don't know.
41:12It was a before.
41:14Yeah.
41:16It was even a before?
41:20Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was a before.
41:23There's going to be an after, too.
41:26Yeah.
41:30You know, Mayday's moving out in a couple of days.
41:34More is getting them together.
41:37I found a base up on the New York border.
41:40I want to recce it.
41:42Someplace to hide out, start fucking shit up again.
41:47You're going to be careful, huh?
41:51Yeah, I'm going to be careful.
41:55What about you?
41:57I'm going to talk to Mark. I'm going to see what he's doing next.
42:01Go state by state, figure out a plan.
42:06I'm going to go to her, Luke.

42:48You know, you should write this down before you forget it.
42:52Your escape story.
42:56No.
42:58I mean, it wasn't all horrors, right?
43:01You had people who helped you, like Janine, Emily, Lawrence.
43:08Nick.
43:10People who loved you.
43:14People you loved.
43:22They're all worth remembering.
43:38I love you.
44:08Okay.
44:10I wish I had somewhere quieter for you, but we're bursting at the seams.
44:14This will be fine for us, thank you.
44:16Yeah, well, a chair, a table, a bed. All you need, I guess.
44:20Oh.
44:22Is there someplace I can get some diapers and clothes?
44:27I'll ask.
44:29Thank you. God bless you.
44:30We're not really supposed to have kids here anyway.
44:33You might have to find another place for tomorrow.
44:35Okay, yes. We'll move if we have to.
44:38Sorry.
44:42Okay.
44:44Oh, I'm sorry. I don't even have a change of clothes for you for later.
