Moira Strand: What happened with Hannah? You said they took her. What happened? I'm not gonna force you to stay. I just wanna know.
June Osborne: They showed her to me. I saw her. But there was nothing I could do. For her. There was nothing I could do to help her. She didn't recognize me. She didn't know who I was. She was scared of me.
Moira Strand: Oh, God.
June Osborne: Everything that has happened to her, it's because of me.
Moira Strand: No. No, that is not true.
June Osborne: How can I go back without her? How can I show up without her?
Moira Strand: June, no one expects you to have her. They're waiting for a person, not a superhero. Even if you did get all those kids out.
June Osborne: But not her. Not my Hannah. I didn't have her. I tried. I really did. I did everything I could, but it wasn't enough. I was supposed to save her. 'Cause I'm her mommy. I'm her mother. It is my job to protect her. And I failed. How can I face him? How can I tell him that everything that has happened to her is because of me?
Moira Strand: No. That's not true. And that's Gilead talking. You know that's not true.
June Osborne: No, he is never gonna forgive me. He's never gonna forgive me.
Moira Strand: All these years, he has waited for you. And he has never given up on you. You need to have a little faith now too.
